Of the 31 pedestrian-related deaths involving Metrolink trains in 2012, three happened on the Ventura County line that runs through Northridge and Chatsworth, authorities told Patch.
That compares to 16 in 2011, said Scott Johnson, a spokesman for Metrolink, which covers 512 miles of track on seven different lines through six Southern California counties.
The latest fatality occurred around 5 p.m. on Dec. 28 at the Wilbur Avenue railroad crossing in Northridge near Reseda Boulevard and claimed the life of Ernest "EJ" Jewel Burns III, a 46-year-old, life-long Valley resident.
Long-time friends described Burns, a graduate of John F. Kennedy High School in Granada Hills who just returned from Missouri visiting relatives, as "larger than life, tall and handsome with an ability to make people feel special with his unique humor, openness and the nickname he decided to call you," said Bonnie Hanoch.
"He was incredibly intelligent. Ernie was a proud American, knew all of the presidents and their policies," Hanoch said. "He loved Elvis. He was an American history buff with in-depth knowledge [of] military objectives, dates, wars [and] battles fought within that war. He spoke so fluid and fast with knowledge it was a lesson in history to listen to him."
Hanoch said one of his most cherished possessions is a memorial flag from his father's military funeral.
"He'll be deeply missed and he will never be forgotten," she said.
Anna Turco, 44 of Sherman Oaks, met Burns in 1993.
Turco once dated Burns, a successful Realtor in the Chatsworth area, for a short time, but broke it off because of his battle with alcohol.
"He was known for his love of baseball, Elvis, The Outback, Las Vegas, golden retrievers, Durango and trains. One thing about Ernie was he had a memory of an elephant," Turco said. "He was a wise man, introspective, intuitive, gave excellent advice and was able to laugh at life's ironies. Although Ernie had incremental periods of sobriety, he struggled with a life-long alcohol addiction only to finally lose that battle."
Turco said his wife divorced him because of his addiction and he leaves behind two surviving sisters, Marlene Powell and Rosina Burns-Cariveau.
"Ernie's recent trip to Mountain View, MO, where his sister Marlene lives, was his final attempt at sobriety just before his demise. His legacy of fond memories will never be forgotten, and the gifts he brought to this world will be greatly missed," Turco said.
Turco said his sister told her the Metrolink video shows Burns lying on the train tracks, lifting his head to look at the train and then putting his head back down.
"I don't know if he possibly changed his mind, or too drunk to move," Turco said. "He was suicidal. He told me if he killed himself it would take care of everything. I believed I'd get the call [one day], but I was shocked how it happened."
Metrolink spokesman Johnson said there was a forward-facing camera on the train that hit Burns, but he was not familiar with its content. He said the video was handed over to the police.
Metrolink investigates its role in pedestrian-related deaths by examining whether the equipment was working properly, such as the brakes, gate
crossings and other elements related to the rail and train.
"Mr. Burns died in a non-pedestrian area," Johnson said. "There was very little Metrolink could have done to prevent this accident. Our thoughts and
condolences go out to the families of the victims, the Metrolink passengers on those trains, the staff, engineers and conductors ... these tragedies affect hundreds of people."
Officer Jennifer Ward of the Los Angeles Police Department Valley Traffic Division said she knew of a video but hadn't viewed it. Ward said the investigation into Burns' death remains open.
"(Burns) was obviously id[entified] the next day. [There are] no crimes
connected with that train collision," Ward said, adding it was unclear where
Burns had been living since recently returning from Missouri.
Burn's case was just examined on Dec. 30 by the Department of Coroner, County of Los Angeles.
"The tox[icology test] is not complete yet," said spokesman Craig Harvey, adding that the results will take about 90 days to complete.
Metrolink, along with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department and other agencies, has increased its efforts to remove homeless encampments from rail right-of-ways along the Ventura County and Antelope Valley lines, Johnson said.
"Transients live underneath freeway overpasses and bridges, in thick vegetation, in loosely constructed structures next to tracks and on adjacent property. To make certain the homeless simply do not return after authorities leave the area, the L.A. County Department of Social Services provides options for those affected," he added. "Also, police departments' homeless population liaisons continue to monitor the situation and work with those in need."
The other two non-pedestrian area deaths on the Ventura County line happened on July 3 near Coldwalter Canyon Boulevard, and Dec. 6 under the Nordhoff Street bridge in Northridge in an apparent suicide.

Join the ORL Staff as a Desk Aide
The Office of Residential Life offers hourly positions to staff residence hall desks. Students may apply to serve in the role of Desk Aide. These positions are highly desirable, work-study positions.
This site is intended for use by students interested in working at an IWU residence hall desk. It is important to understand before embarking on this process that only students who have received a work-study award as a part of their financial aid package can be hired at hall desks. Students awarded a full-time work-study award, the equivalent of 10 hours-per-week, earn their award over two semesters; students with a part-time award, the equivalent of 5 hours-per-week, earn their award over one semester.
Residence Hall Desks and desk staff members are supervised primarily by the Residential Community Advisor (RCA). RCAs are students who have served in the capacity of RA or FYRA for at least one semester, and are responsible for selecting, training and supervising desk staffs. RCAs are supported in this responsibility by the RD in each hall or area.
The initial hiring of desk staff takes place in the Spring term for the following Fall. With some regularity throughout the course of the year, it becomes necessary to identify students who can fill openings at hall desks on an ongoing basis. As these openings are identified, RCAs look to a common pool of applicants to determine those students who may be interested and available.
This site will allow students with an interest in desk positions to apply, update and maintain their applications. Likewise, RCAs will access the site to find students whose applications and availability match with the needs of openings identified at hall desks.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Who hires DAs? Who supervises them?
DAs are hired and supervised by the Residential Community Advisor in each building. Of course, Residence Directors indirectly supervise and have regular contact with DAs, but the desk and desk staff supervision is done primarily by the RCA.
How many DAs will be hired?
The nine traditional hall desks have enough hours between them to employ over 80 full-time work-study students (approximately 8 students per desk). The exact number of students hired per desk depends on the work-study need of individual students who apply.
Will all returning DAs be hired?
No. Only those DAs who have consistently fulfilled the responsibilities and expectations of the DA position and who successfully complete the DA Rehire/Evaluation process with their RCA will be rehired. Returning staff who were previously successful in the position will be considered before new applicants.
How will DAs be placed in halls?
It is our intention to hire the bulk of DAs at a particular desk from students who are assigned to the building. Other DAs may be hired to round out the staff who are not building residents. Our rationale for hiring the bulk of the desk staff from residents of a building is to help facilitate community and interaction between residents of a building and the desk staff members that serve them.
Do DAs have to enforce policies?
When DAs are staffing the desk, they are expected to enforce policies such as sports in the hall, guest escort, and quiet hours. Training in confrontation is a part of DA training at the beginning of each year.
How do DAs choose work shifts? What if one of my classes conflicts with a time I'm required to work?
All hall desks select their hours on a semesterly basis at the first DA meeting based on DA availability. All halls have a monthly meeting where DAs can switch hours. Should a DA have an academic conflict, s/he should work to find another staff member who can substitute for him/her and fill that shift. Because everyone occasionally needs a helping hand to cover a shift, DAs should be flexible and understanding. Should a DA not be able to find a replacement, s/he should talk to the hall's RCA for further direction.
|Our mission is facilitating enjoyable, sustainable and inclusive communities that support and enhance students' academic achievement and personal development.

Research and Analysis by Alan L. Gustman
The Growth in Social Security Benefits Among the Retirement-Age Population from Increases in the Cap on Covered Earnings
This article investigates how raising the maximum level of earnings subject to the Social Security payroll tax leads to the "leakage" of portions of the additional revenue into higher benefit payments. Using data from the Health and Retirement Study, the authors simulate the effects of changes in maximum taxable earnings for cohorts approaching retirement age over a 24-year period. They find, roughly, that almost half of the additional tax revenue from having raised the maximum earnings subject to the payroll tax has leaked into higher benefits.
How Did the Recession of 2007–2009 Affect the Wealth and Retirement of the Near Retirement Age Population in the Health and Retirement Study?
This article uses household wealth and labor market data from the Health and Retirement Study (HRS) to investigate how the recent "Great Recession" has affected the wealth and retirement of the Early Boomer cohort, those in the population who were just approaching retirement age at the beginning of the recession. The retirement wealth of people aged 53–58 before the onset of the recession in 2006 declined by a relatively modest 2.8 percent by 2010. For members of older cohorts, wealth had increased by about 5 percent over a comparable age span. The wealth holdings of poorer households were least affected by the recession. Relative losses were greatest for those who initially had the highest wealth when the recession began. The retirement behavior of the Early Boomer cohort looks similar, at least to date, to the behavior observed for members of older cohorts at comparable ages.
Retirement Outcomes in the Health and Retirement Study
This study examines retirement outcomes in the first four waves of the 1992–1998 Health and Retirement Study (HRS). The article compares outcomes under alternative definitions of retirement, describes differences in outcomes among demographic groups, compares retirement dynamics based on self-reported retirement status, and compares retirement flows in the 1990s and the 1970s and between cohorts of the HRS. Among other findings, measured retirement is seen to differ, sometimes substantially, with the definition of retirement used among the various groups analyzed.
Retirement and Wealth
This article analyzes the relationship between retirement and wealth. Using data from the first four waves of the longitudinal Health and Retirement Study—a cohort of individuals born from 1931 to 1941—we estimate reduced-form retirement and wealth equations. Our results show that those who retire earlier do not necessarily save more and that even if one's primary interest is in the relationship between Social Security policy and the decision to retire, it is important to incorporate saving behavior and other key decisions into the analysis.
Social Security Research at the Michigan Retirement Research Center
The Office of Retirement and Disability Policy at the Social Security Administration created the Retirement Research Consortium in 1998 to encourage research on topics related to Social Security and the well-being of older Americans, and to foster communication between the academic and policy communities. The Michigan Retirement Research Center (MRRC) has participated in the Consortium since its inception. This article surveys a selection of the MRRC's output over its first 10 years and highlights several themes in the Center's ongoing research.

SUNDAY, MAY 4, 2008 -- People always ask interesting questions on out in the street, in restaurants, on E-mail, or on the telephone. There was a postal employee in Chattanooga one year who called and asked who the third string tailback was in the 1950s, probably 1956 or 1957. When I said "Al Carter," he said "thanks" and hung up. There was a bet in his section of the Post Office, and I never got a chance to find out who won.
I was asked once who the most underrated player I ever saw was. My answer was Shawn Bryson, one of the captains of the 1998 national championship team, who could do it all, run, block, catch passes, and always be in the right place at the right time. Think about his touchdown catch in the Florida State game and his very big fourth down reception when the Vols were trying to kill the clock late in the game.
When asked about my favorite teams, I always ask "what generation?"
In my younger days, I always liked 1965, 1967, and 1970. The 1985 team was a personal favorite later on. Then there was 1989, the Cotton Bowl team and 1995, the 11-1 team that beat Ohio State.
The 1998 season was fun, watching things progress week by week.
I remember being on the west sideline, south end, and pointing out the "Stoerner Stumble." "There it is," I said. Billy Ratliff made me look good by not only causing the fumble, but recovering it as well. Not bad for a guy who was a very good player, but who suffered more than his share of injuries. I thought the 2001 team was pretty good, coming back from the loss to LSU and taking Michigan apart, piece-by-piece, New Year's Day.
I remember once getting a call from SEC official Jimmy Harper about getting a copy of a Volunteers Magazine cover that showed the coin toss of the 1989 Auburn game. There was this deep voice on the phone identifying himself and my response: "Should I be talking with you?" He said yes, and later profusely thanked me for the photo.
One of the officials from the 2001 SEC title game called with a similar request, and asked the following question: "Why couldn't No. 14 come up with an interception when he had the ball right in his hands." No. 14 was Julian Battle, and he did nearly have a couple of picks. I never came up with a good answer.
Those are just a few of some very neat memories.

The EIA organization ceased operations in February 2011. EIA assigned ECA maintenance of all existing interconnect, passive and electro-mechanical (IP&E) and inter-department EIA standards. EIA also granted ECA the rights to develop new IP&E electronic component standards under the ANSI-designation of EIA standards. All other electronic components standards will be managed by their respective sectors. ECA joined the Electronic Components Industry Association (ECIA). However, the EIA standards brand will continue for IP&E standards within ECIA.

Farming life in the old days was pretty tough and most of our ancestors did it for a living. Sometimes I'm surprised that any of them made it through with enough energy to have kids. Looking at some of the old pictures makes you appreciate even more what they endured.
Before I get started on old genealogy though I wanted to put up this picture of my dad and his brother in law.
That may be my mom's head shadow. Looks like her hair. The picture was taken December, 1944. Mom and Dad had been married a year and were back in Hobart for Christmas. At the time they were stationed in San Diego. There are pictures of Mom and Dad at the Coronado Club in SD during 1944…and I have some of Dad in Hawaii in March of 1945. Sort of recreating from photos.
While running through those I came across this:
The picture is dated May, 1922. This is the Watts family with Mary Virginia. Mom is 13 months old here. TG is 8 years old and Buzzy should be 5. Mary Virginia is about 3. She died in 1927…Paul died in 1929.
While we're at it I've got one more old Paul Watts family photo to share:
Mom says this is their place in Hobart. If that's the case, then this is '28 or '29. Paul died in November of '29 and that would make Bunnie 7 or 8, Buzzy 11 or 12 and TG 14 or 15. Does that look right?
Okay, one last one:
This one always makes me smile…look at that cotton crop and how happy everyone is. The photo is dated 1904, but it may have been taken earlier. The writing on the back indicates it was sent to Jim and Lucy Caywood, Nov 1904, from TH Watts. Your guess is as good as mine but the date is close. Left to right: Paul/Phil (13 years old), Ruth Olga (10), Nettie Bell (33), Thomas Harrison (36), don't know the horse's name or age and Nettie Sunbeam (8). This photo was printed in the Kiowa County history book.
Ruth married an Easterling…there were a whole bunch of them in Kiowa County during those years…in fact Clyde Hanes family was involved with them. I may write about that sometime in the future. Sunbeam married late in life (to a Hanks) after moving back to the family home grounds in Kentucky. I have a bunch of Sunbeam's hand-written genealogy notes. She was an early family historian. More on that next time.

Original recipe yields 3 servings
- Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
- Mix 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1 teaspoon black pepper in a small bowl. Dip the chicken breasts into the pepper mixture until well coated, then place the chicken on a baking dish.
- Broil the chicken in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 5 minutes on each side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
- Meanwhile, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the onion; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms, artichoke hearts, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Continue to cook and stir for about 6 minutes, then stir in the white wine. Allow the wine to simmer and reduce by half, about 10 minutes.
- Stir in the roma tomatoes; cook and still until the tomatoes are warmed through. Stir in the butter until it melts. Serve the sauce over the cooked chicken breast.

This was incredibly delicious!!! I made some slight adjustment in the cooking technique and a couple ingredients, but that's it. I had frozen chicken breasts on hand so I seasoned them w/ a little bit of granulated garlic and Italian seasoning and I put them in my crockpot along w/ 1/4 cup water on high for about 3 hours and then turned it to low for another 2 hours. I made the sauce as instructed w/ the exception I added in the tomatoes along w/ the other ingredients. Make sure you use a good quality white wine - I used Barefoot Pinot Grigio. This sauce is amazingly simple, packed w/ flavour and I plan on making it again! Thanks for the share!!!
This was so yummy. I fooled my boyfriend into thinking I can cook!
This was absolutely delicious! Made it exactly as written.

Vertical motor offers increased output, less noise
GE Energy's Pegasus vertical motor features customization to customer specs, RCF tool, remote monitoring capabilities .
GE Energy's Motors business produces the Pegasus – a marketplace solution for pump OEMs and end users who require large, slow speed, vertically mounted motors.
GE, completing more than 9,000 custom design tests for pumps and vertical motors to create Pegasus, aims to significantly reduce or completely eliminate Reed Critical Frequency (RCF) issues, offering a solution to the common industry problem of vibration issues for vertical applications. The MHV vertical motors are designed, engineered, and customized for PV 500 to PV 900 frame requirements.
"Since the Pegasus is based on customer specs, a customer can call us and state their system's pump needs," says Nimesh Sharan, Product Manager for Medium and Large Motors at GE Energy. "Then we can plug their custom data into the new Pegasus technology. The result is an automatic build sheet for the customized motor."
The vertical units have an open end and are designed to appreciably reduce noise and vibration, the latter of which can cause harmful repercussions and downtime for the system. Pegasus can also be constructed in an enclosed configuration.
Pegasus carries a worldwide warranty and full product service availability. All frames will be shipped ready to integrate with remote monitoring capabilities. Standard RMU capabilities include bearing/winding RTDs and vibration sensors.
"Our advantage of having the newest design in the marketplace is that we have the most modern design tools to deliver the best vertical motor solutions," says Sharan.
Pegasus is ideal for multi-faceted installations where smooth-driven equipment is required, including centrifugal pumps, centrifugal compressors, and fans. Other uses include reciprocating loads, belt drives, chippers and cutters, crushers or any other type of machine with high alternating and/or shocking loads not covered by standard products.
In addition to increased output/frame, reduced noise and vibration levels, and enhanced reliability, the Pegasus Vertical line offers improved power density, bearings offerings, and ratings capabilities.

The former Main Street School will soon belong to Hope & Main after voters approved the sale in a landslide Monday.
When polls closed on the Town Meeting vote at 9 p.m. Monday, it was clear voters gave the project overwhelming support, approving it 413-37.
Hope & Main is a not-for-profit venture that provides space where local chefs, food producers and nutrition professionals will be able to lease commercial kitchen space. A planned town market will provide ready access to locally produced food products, as well as provide a venue for local producers to introduce and showcase their products.
Hope & Main aims to serve the needs of food service professionals from caterers and specialty food producers to farmers and fishermen. In addition to the market and four large commercial kitchens and a rentable demonstration kitchen, plans include cold and dry storage, a rentable community space for events and seminars, and a business center to provide members with marketing and sales support. Find out more about Hope & Main here.
The town-wide vote, which was originally scheduled for last Monday but was postponed due to Hurricane Sandy, began at 9 a.m. and ran through 9 p.m. Monday.
The Hope & Main vote was just a warmup to Tuesday's general election. Polls are open 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday. Prepare your vote before you enter the polls by viewing all three ballots in Warren here.

The social network's new skin for Android won't violate your privacy any more than normal Facebook.
Security firm Mandiant delivers compelling evidence that the Chinese military is behind a torrent of intrusions targeting the networks of U.S.-based companies. Here's what happens next.
Official confirms report by veteran Pentagon reporter Bill Gertz saying hackers linked to China's government "broke into one of the U.S. government's most sensitive computer networks."
It works in a home aquarium with toys, but could this laser tripwire alert people to hungry sharks approaching swimmers?
Mobile ad networks like Transpera are serving up video ads in game apps. Will consumers tolerate them or find them irritating?
The company's invasions of privacy may be even more serious than first reported. As the Beacon controversy continues to evolve, consumers must fight for their privacy.
The organization, which handles Canada's R&D efforts, is rebuilding its IT infrastructure and says the hack didn't extend into the rest of the government's networks.
The upscale department store identified a security breach in mid-December, but sources tell the New York Times that the hacker's trail leads back to July.
The company says, however, that the amounts shown on the site do not "constitute a filing of rehabilitation claims."
After several corporations and universities were targeted in cyberattacks, the US government arrests Timothy French for allegedly posting thousands of people's usernames and passwords online.

PLATTSBURGH — An underwater direct-current electric transmission line under Lake Champlain has moved one step closer to construction.
The Champlain-Hudson Power Express, a completely buried, 333-mile transmission line that will bring 1,000 megawatts of energy to the New York market, has received a Certificate of Environmental Compatibility and Public Need from the New York State Public Service Commission.
Biz News Ink
The certificate was granted after three years of state and public review as part of the commission's Article VII permitting process and represents a major step forward for the $2 billion project, developed by Transmission Developers Inc.
The decision signifies its members believe there is need for a facility, the project is environmentally compatible and is in compliance with state law, a press release from the commission said.
"With this order, we grant the developer a certificate to construct and operate a transmission project known as the Champlain-Hudson Power Express Project," Public Service Commission Chairman Garry Brown said in the release. "The certificate will adopt most of the terms and conditions presented to us in a joint proposal and in stipulations that have the full or partial support of a wide range of parties to this case."
Benefits cited in the commission's decision include private financing of the line, which shields ratepayers from increased prices due to construction and operation costs. The commission also cited a reduction in air pollution as more power comes from hydropower and less from fuel-burning electricity production.
It would also help diversify power options for New York City and strengthen the security of the power transmission system if one part of it were to suffer a blackout. Transmission Developers' agreement to fund a $117.5 million trust for the enhancement of aquatic habitats and fisheries resources in Lake Champlain and the Hudson, Harlem and East rivers and their tributaries also factored in the approval.

I am now committed to reducing, if not eradicating, my backlog of bottles and I have taken to enlisting aid in doing so. The real logjam comes in the form of bombers. Do not misunderstand me, I am capable of drinking the contents of a bomber by myself, but I am hesitant to do so. Bomb(er)s away!
A little backstory on this one: The bottleneck sticker reads"Bottled October 2011" and it was presented to me on my 47th birthday (25 Feb 2012) by my doppelganger clonsin, Jim Barnes, who was repping for Pretty Things at the time. Justin Chlan and I were now joined by one of my former mentors, Tom "Beek" Biechler on the porch.
From the bottle: "Good Time Artisinal Beers"; "Sylvan Stout".
After popping the cap, I gave everyone a generous pour. This created a finger of dense, deep-tan/light-brown head with good retention. Color was a deep, dark-brown (SRM = 44), allowing zero light penetration. Nose was really rich - molasses, anise, light charcoal, vanilla. Mouthfeel was surprisingly only medium. The taste was semi-sweet with flavors including dried dark fruits, dark chocolate and a little bit of smokiness. The finish was dry and smoky and we decided to go in a different direction for our next beer.

This is a dark, dark brown beer with a short white head. The nose is not as roasty or smokey as I would have thought it would but I liked it quite a bit. Some molasses, some smoke and a little licorice come through. The taste was similar with what started as a slight metallic aftertaste that faded as it warmed and gave some hints of anise, sage and rosemary at the back of the tongue. The chocolate smokiness and molasses also grew as it warmed. I enjoyed it more and more as it warmed. The mouthfeel was smooth, medium bodied. I always like a stout with a little more body than this one but it worked well. All in all, I really enjoyed this and would encourage anyone drinking it on tap to give it sometime.

22oz bomber poured into a stemmed tulip glass.
A- It pours nicely and looks good while pouring. So oil-spill dark brown that it's black in color with a dark British tan colored head, big and whipped 2-plus finger. Ample foamy lacing. Active bubbles to start that get lost in the darkness.
S- NOT a roasted malt and chocolate overload. Sure, there's some roasted malt but the beauty of its aroma is in the subtle blend of molasses, sweet and dark chocolates, hop spiciness, the right touch of alcohol, and black licorice. Light smokiness. A sublime combination.
T- The flavor profile follows the nose. It's mellow, not as intense as many stouts. The dark chocolate, dark malt and licorice are sweetened nicely by the molasses and spice.
M- Well carbonated with medium body. Tingles. Hearty enough, not quite chewy.
O- It must be the combination of 7.0 abv and 48 ibus that makes this a hit for me. Bold, not boozy. Balanced, not sugary or bitter. And, the aroma; mmm

NEW YORK — Investors got the results they wanted from Goldman Sachs, but the market's response was just a modest pop.
Mixed economic data Tuesday reminded investors of the challenges businesses still face and left the market zigzagging all day. Stocks gained on a handful of strong earnings, while Treasuries tumbled on a jump in inflation.
Investors were pleased that Goldman Sachs' second-quarter earnings easily surpassed analysts' forecasts because of big gains in trading and underwriting. But Goldman's actual results had little impact as investors' focus quickly turned to the rest of the financial industry.
"Here we have a best-in-class sort of company reporting outstanding results," said Craig Peckham, an analyst with Jefferies & Co. "The earnings reports we get in the financial sector from here on out quite honestly are coming from companies that just don't have the same kind of cachet."
Goldman rose 22 cents to $149.66.
The Dow rose 27.81, or 0.3 percent, to 8,359.49. The Standard & Poor's 500 rose 4.79, or 0.5 percent, to 905.84, while the Nasdaq rose 6.52, or 0.4 percent, to 1,799.73.
Johnson & Johnson gained 51 cents to $58.23 after its report.
Dell warned that quarterly gross margins will fall below first-quarter levels due to higher component costs and pressure to keep prices low. The stock fell $1.05, or 8.1 percent, to $11.97. Railroad operator CSX said it expects shipping demand to sink by double-digits again this quarter but not as drastically as the 21 percent decline in the second quarter. The stock jumped $2.26, or 7 percent, to $34.80.
The dollar fell against other major currencies, while gold prices rose. Oil slipped 17 cents to settle at $59.52 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
Overseas, Japan's Nikkei stock average gained 2.3 percent. Britain's FTSE 100 rose 0.9 percent, Germany's DAX index rose 1.3 percent, and France's CAC-40 gained 1.0 percent.

To eladrin, arcane magic is Corellon's supreme gift— an art epitomized by the venerable traditions of the swordmage and wizard. However, they are not the only ways of acquiring such power, and one can find representatives of the other arcane classes throughout eladrin society. In particular, artificers and warlocks stand out, though for very different reasons due to the attitudes of the prevailing arcane culture.
Those who pledge themselves to a patron often find that their newfound power quickly alienates them from their fellow students and teachers, and most nascent warlocks soon leave school. Some depart voluntarily. Many others, especially those attending more conservative academies, are expelled. Those that remain either keep their pact secret or are subject to increasing amounts of scrutiny and ostracism.

Making a Sano Angel
by, 02-22-2013 at 11:23 AM (3559 Views)
I caved and signed up for a free month of Netflix. I was duped by my curiosity to watch Ballplayer: Pelotero, but now that I'm hooked I need to find eight extra bucks a month. My main interest on Netflix is the documentaries. So let's stick to, and sift through, the facts on Miguel Sano...
I recently dogged Sano a little bit by predicting he would fall from the gracious #1 spot on the top-20 Twins' prospect list following 2013. I felt bad about this, mainly because Sano is the type of guy to make me eat my words. So, let me gush about Miguel in this post, and imagine the possibilities for this rough, Dominican diamond.
Many have predicted that eventually he will hit for average to go along with his platinum power. I will play along and believe what scouts are saying pertaining to Sano's hit/at-bat ratio. I think .290 or higher would be a high batting average. For example, last year Albert Pujols hit .285 (25th in the AL).
Sano's 2012 batting average of .258 was below our mark, but not by much. He was a 19-year-old in a 21-yr-old's league. Miguel is going to catch up to his peers (meaning people older than him), and it will be in a large way. In Pelotero, Sano was a tall, skinny, cheery teenager. He has since mutated into a 6'4 - 235+lb. beast.
The movie, Pelotero, was awesome. I have nothing but respect for Miguel Angel Sano, and his entire family. They had to prove their innocence to an MLB office that assumed Miguel and his family were guilty of age-fraud (because Sano was deemed "too good" to be 16). He passed each and every test or accusation. There is no question he was 16 when he signed.
In a weird way, Twins fans can thank the age-questioning fiasco surrounding Miguel for drastically lowering the eventual bonus amount to be paid to him. It was his first real media attack, but he kept his dream alive. He won't give up, and the Twins never gave up on him.
After seeing Miguel go through so many different physical tests to prove he was not lying, you get the feeling this kid combines "Five-Star" talent with an attitude of "persistence through pain." This kid will turn 20 in May, and can accomplish anything in the game. Watch out.
I remember Sano predicting 100 RBI for himself in his first full-season of minor league ball. Amazing. No matter what happens in 2013, Twins fans can have hope that there is an "Angel" on its way to Minnesota.

In the Obama administration, the frayed-around-the-edges card with the word "race" on it has been played so often that it's barely recognizable. Still, it hasn't stopped Barry and his attorney general from playing it when the temperature in the kitchen starts to climb, such as it is right now with the resurgence of radical Islam in the Middle East and the disaster taking place on the Mexico border.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - The Tennessee Treasury Department officially proposed a change to the state pension plan on Monday. State Treasurer David Lillard said he's proposing legislation for the changes to ensure the program's longevity.
Lillard held a news conference on Monday to discuss the changes. The new retirement plan would apply only to new hires and would affect state employees, higher education employees and K-12 teacher hired after June 30th, 2014.
"The new plan does not apply to anyone who's currently on the payroll as a state employee, higher education employee, teacher, or to any retirees who are currently in the system of the TCRS; and it does not affect benefits to any retirees," said Lillard.
Lillard said the state's plan is currently performing better than those in most other states, but he said its earnings have fallen short of expectations over the last several years and he's concerned about its future.
The changes he's proposing would limit the state's future liability for pension costs by creating a type of hybrid benefit-defined contribution plan.
Currently, only teachers contribute 5 percent of their salary. The new proposal requires all employees to contribute that amount.

Great fot all the family
I received a sample as I am a bzzagent and have not looked back. since having my baby my skin has been dry, E45 has nourished my skin and it is no longer dry. I have been using it on my baby who has eczema and it seems to stop the irritation. great for all the family
14 May 2013
Would recommend
As many before me, I also tried this product free as part of a Bzz campaign. On application, the product was quickly absorbed by my skin and after a few weeks of use, my skin was soft and smooth and hints of roughness disappeared. Definitely worth a try.
13 May 2013
Wow...this really does work
I have been trying this for free as part of a Bzz Campaign...well what can i say, its fantaboulous! My skin was feeling dry and unloved, especially my legs and hands, after using this product for 3 weeks i now have happy healthy nourished skin. It smells lovely, its easy to apply and you noticed an immediate difference in how your skin feels, and over the week it improves day by day. I used it twice a day and i am really pleased with the results.
13 May 2013
Great product
I was given a bottle of this moisturiser as part of a bzz campaign. E45 Nourish & Restore absorbs incredibly fast and leaves skin soft and smooth for the whole day. At this prize, I will definitely buy this instead of more expensive moisturisers. I can highly recommend this product, especially if you suffer from sensitive and dry skin like me.
12 May 2013
It stings!
I received this product to try for free, as I am a BzzAgent - lynseync - and I must say, I'm not impressed at all. I have dry skin on my hands and elbows, and this cream was supposed to be the answer... it's meant for dry skin, and also for conditions such as ezcema and such. When applying it to my dry skin, it really stung... and not just the first time. Surely a product for sensitive skin and other skin conditions shouldn't do this? And it didn't help either - after several weeks of trying it, I still have the same dry skin. My step-daughter found that her skin got drier after a while too. I'm afraid I'm not convinced.

Editor, Townsman:
The most difficult part of writing a letter to the editor is in keeping it short. In response to Mr. Kempster (Right to bear arms not without limits, June 6), I certainly did not mean to imply that the right to bear arms was "primarily" to check government, but that is the aspect most often overlooked these days — particularly by government.
As to modern interpretations of what our founders meant, I generally find them to be "short sighted." I would encourage everyone to read the Constitution and then if they are looking for what was meant, they try reading The Federalist Papers. This is a series of essays written in the late 1780s by those promoting the ratification of the U.S. Constitution.
There is very little in our daily lives that the founding fathers would understand, almost nothing! But I wonder why we cannot understand them when they said, "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. — That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed."
How could this have changed with the passage of time; it needs no reinterpretation.
Insanity is doing the same thing over and over while expecting different results. Disarming the "people" history has shown us leads to oppressive governments, over and over again!
The right to bear arms does have its limits, but the Constitution was written to limit government while protecting the people not to limit the people in favor of the government.
I strongly urge everyone to read it. You'll likely be surprised with what you learn.
P.S. I'd also like to take a moment to remind people of the upcoming holiday Independence Day, which just happens to fall on July 4.

The Hockanum Valley Community Council has firmed up the times and drop-off locations for its emergency holiday food drive this weekend.
And donations are starting to roll in to its food pantry, CEO David Engelson said on Wednesday.
One huge donation was a company bringing in 300 turkeys.
"The owner saw the story on the Patch and brought the turkeys in," he said, referring to a Tuesday posting on the Vernon, Tolland and Ellington-Somers Patches, the three areas the HVCC food pantry serves. "This is tremendous."
Meg Scranton of Vernon's Scranton Motors dropped off a $2,000 check from the Greater Hartford Automobile Association.
A crew from Kloter Farms put together 50 meals.
He said there have been many smaller donations so far.
HVCC is conducting what Engelson is calling an "emergency holiday food drive" this weekend, beginning Friday.
The HVCC office at 29 Naek Rd. will be open at 9 a.m. all three days and drop-offs can be made until 5 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, 3 p.m. on Sunday and 6 p.m. on Monday.
Both Vernon Stop & Shop locations will have drop-off stations set up Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
Area resident Steve Linton has again borrowed a truck trailer and will have it parked at 428 Hartford Turnpike from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. in an attempt to fill it with food.
"The response has been overwhelming so far," Engelson said.
HVCC started accepting the adoptions of families on Monday.
Here is what sponsorship entails:
Family of three to four:
• A 20- to 22-pound turkey.
• A large box of mashed potatoes or 5 pounds of fresh potatoes.
• A large box of stuffing.
• Two large cans of turkey gravy.
• Two cans of yams or sweet potatoes.
• A can of cranberry sauce.
• Two large cans of fruit.
• Two large cans of vegetables.
• A box of cake, cookies or brownie mix.
• A can of frosting if cake mix is donated.
• A package of dinner roles.
• Breakfast bread or muffin mix.
A bonus would be pancake mix and syrup for breakfast, Engelson said.
Engelson said HVCC has many single clients, most of the seniors.
He said the suggested donation for a single person or small family is a small turkey or roasting chicken or chicken breast and one can or box of each item listed above.
Engelson said the pantry is also in need of peanut butter and will always accept a gift card.
Engelson says he has a need to feed 725 families for Thanksgiving and 850 families for Christmas.
To inquire about making a donation, call 860-872-7727.
