text: Starbucks Recipes and Money Saving Tips The Family Latte Factor: How to Save Money and Still Sip Coffee by Heather Maddan 1/16/11 0 Reactions 11 Shares Print 0 4 7 0 0 Caffeine gets a lot of parents through the day. Some moms and dads only begin to function once they've had their liquid fix. But with the costs of raising a family, many couples have kicked off 2011 with a resolution to budget better. It's hard to give up anything — especially part of your daily routine — cold turkey so I tapped a former barista to give me the inside scoop for saving money and still getting your drink on. From recipes you can make at home to tips for getting more bang for your in-store buck, here's how to cut expenses! Green Tea Latte What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The key ingredients in a green tea latte are one teaspoon of green tea Matcha powder and three pumps of Torani classic syrup. Source: Thinkstock 1 / 5 How to Make "Steamed Milk" What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 There's nothing like warm milk! Heat yours in the microwave for one minute and 30 seconds, then put it into something like the Magic Bullet with a flat blade. Let it mix for a few seconds. Be careful when opening. You will have milk with foam! Or you can purchase an inexpensive milk frother from IKEA. Source: Thinkstock 2 / 5 Cut Espresso Costs What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Skip standing in line to get your shot of espresso and invest in an inexpensive Bialetti stovetop espresso maker that is popular with the Europeans. Source: Thinkstock 3 / 5 In-Store Tips For Saving Cash What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Ask for "no water" when ordering iced tea or buy the Tazo tea at the store and shake it up at home using Torani classic syrup to sweeten. Ask for your iced coffee without ice (it's already refrigerated and is normally filled with two-thirds of ice.) Ask for no foam with your lattes if you don't care about foam. (If a barista forgets to steam enough milk, they may add more foam and you pay for air.) You can usually ask for a short (8 oz.) coffee or drink. It's just not on the menu. Source: Thinkstock 4 / 5 Caramel Macchiato What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Whip up this sweet sipper by using Hershey's Caramel Topping to cover the bottom of the cup and then go around the sides. Add three pumps of Torani vanilla syrup to strong coffee or espresso and then blend in milk. Drizzle more caramel on top.

The Browns are unlikely to be suitors for former Vikings WR Randy Moss, Browns president Mike Holmgren indicated Tuesday, according to multiple media outlets.
According to the reports, Holmgren said the Browns want to develop the wide receivers currently on the roster.
Moss, who was officially waived on Tuesday, according to FoxSports.com, has caught 22 passes for 313 yards and five touchdowns in stints with New England and Minnesota this season.
Chansi Stuckey leads Browns wideouts with 21 catches and 213 yards.
The way we see it
The Browns didn't seek an expensive, big-name wide receiver in the offseason, and they didn't choose a wideout until Round Six in April's draft, when they selected Carlton Mitchell, so it would be a surprise if they would have interest in Moss. How Cleveland's young wideouts develop in the final nine games, especially second-year pros Mohamed Massaquoi and Brian Robiskie, is a story line to watch. The Browns' passing game is improved from a season ago, but the club still ranks in the bottom half of the league in passing yards and average gain per pass play.

Morgan Brennan, Forbes Staff
I write about real estate markets, outrageous homes and cities.
Less than two months after Aubrey "Drake" Graham listed two posh Miami, Fla. condos for sale , the celebrity rapper has managed to flip them and turn a tidy profit. Listed for $2.5 million, the final sales price for the side-by-side units was $2.4 million, a minor discount of 4%.
Drake, a Canada native and Forbes Hip Hop Cash King valued at $11 million, purchased the units for a combined $1.9 million in January 2011, before re-listing them on the market at a 32% price hike this past January. The sale represents a 26% return on his investment, grossing nearly $500,000 before fees and taxes.
Perhaps the most impressive thing about this sale, however, is just how quickly a buyer came to the table. Less than 24 hours after the Marquis Residences condos hit the sale block, a buyer was lined up and an offer was in.
"We immediately contacted all of our team members and Kriszti Panyi knew she had a buyer whose needs would be satisfied with this property," said Jill Hertzberg of Coldwell Banker Residential Real Estate's "The Jills" team. The Jills team had the listing and as well as the buyer (Panyi is a member of the Coldwell Banker team as well).
The new owner is reportedly Mario Chalmers of the NBA's Miami Heat basketball team. The apartments were purchased under a third party limited liability company called Team Rio.
Chalmers, 25, has played for the Miami Heat since 2008. His new 49th floor digs are located in downtown's swank Marquis Residences, a mixed-use high rise towering over Biscayne Bay and mere blocks from the American Airlines Arena where the Heat plays home games.
Combined the neighboring duplex apartments total 5,475 square feet of living space that include four bedrooms, two Viking appliance-fitted kitchens, living rooms with 20 foot ceilings and floor-to-ceiling walls of glass overlooking the bay, six marble bathrooms, a media room, marble staircases and private balconies. During Drake's ownership tenure, the digs served as the video set for the DJ Khaled track, "I'm On One", which featured the Canadian hip hop star as well as fellow rappers Rick Ross and Lil Wayne. The luxury high rise touts building amenities like a sky pool deck, a fitness area and spa and valet parking.
Drake is said to have already purchased a new home for himself: a $9 million mansion in Hidden Hills, Calif, according to Vibe Magazine. The Los Angeles-area estate includes a five-stall horse barn, tennis court, volleyball court, 24-seat home theater and a pool area complete with "caves" touting a wet bar.
As for Miami, the luxury real estate market has enjoyed a flurry of buyer activity over the past year and a half. The Elliman Report, a quarterly home sales report compiled by Miller Samuel and Douglas Elliman Florida, found that the median sales price for luxury condos in 2011′s fourth quarter were 7.2% higher than they were in the third quarter. And across Biscayne Bay, on ultra exclusive Indian Creek Island, Sears Holdings billionaire Eddie Lampert recently went into contract to buy a $40 million estate — one of the highest home prices ever paid in Miami-Dade County.
Drake is awesome …!
I released 40 cds last year!
What a dumb analysis on profit. Lets take some conservative estimates.
6% of sales price for commission is $144k. Property tax at a conservative 1% for one year is another $19k. Assuming he financed 80% of the condo then another $76k was spent on interest payments.
Talking about a return on investment without looking at fees and taxes is a dishonest assessment.
Drake Purchase Price: $1.9MM + 3% closing costs (conservative)=$1,957,000.
Drake Selling Price: $2.4MM – 9% closing costs (6% commission+3% closing costs)=$2,232,000……..$2,232,000-$1,957,000=$275,000 NET in 12 months assuming he bought all cash for a 14% cash on cash return. Still beats putting money in a CD, US treasury, or stock market! For those that are not Drake and do not have that buying power there are still incredible deals with double digit cash-on-cash returns going on today (e.g. buying single family homes in Miami for $50-75K). In my book REO BOOM, I discuss how real estate investors are buying bank repo's at deeply discounted prices and renting them out for incredible stable cash flow with tremendous upside. There has never been a better time to jump into real estate today especially with the mortgage rates so low. A lot of wealth will be created in the next 36 months. Time to enter the market!

Exercise after a tram flap
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
Lora Packel MS, PT, Coordinator of Cancer Therapy Services for the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, responds:
The tram flap (transverse rectus abdominus myocutaneous reconstruction) uses a piece of the abdominal musculature (rectos Abdominus) to recreate a breast. Although there are other lateral (on the side) abdominal muscles, people tend to feel weakness or back pain with activity.
Exercise, as prescribed by a trained physical therapist, can address weakness through a core stabilization program. This program focuses on body mechanics, posture and strengthening the lateral abdominal muscles and back muscles. This program should be created by a trained therapist who understands that you cannot do abdominal or stomach crunches, as there isn't a muscle to "crunch" in patients who have had a bilateral TRAM procedure.
Penn Therapy & Fitness, the outpatient physical therapy satellites associated with the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, has experience with rehabilitating people after the TRAM procedure. To complement a lifestyle change that includes exercise, you should consider an evaluation by a nutritionist who specializes in oncology.

Email Malware Spreading Early In The Morning, Says Report
According to a report released by a security research firm called Trustwave, between 8AM and 9AM virus outbreaks are reaching their peak. Looks like it's best to check your email later on the day as the number of viruses and executables sent in the first hours have recently increased. These attacks are an attempt to catch people as they're checking their emails at the beginning of the day, at least this is what the Global Security Report stated. So after all it is best to peacefully take your morning coup of coffee, rather than check your email? No not all, you can do both, but you should use caution when opening all sorts of fishy emails.
This report was based on data collected from more than three hundred incident responses, and forensic investigations from 18 countries around the world, while a huge number of emails were collected from 2008 until to 2011 – over 16 billions emails to be more exact. The people from Trustwave did a tremendous amount of work, and came up with this report that reveals vulnerabilities, security trends and much more. This report concluded that the viruses went up in August, and reached a peak in September. It appears that more than 3 percent of viruses which were sent via email, were sent in August and September.
The report stated that in most environments the time from compromise to detection is about six months, so if these methods are successful, March this year should be a busy month for incident responders. Now, let's see what cybercriminals are looking for – the #1 thing attackers are looking for are customer records, which can reach almost 90% of the breached data that was investigated. On a distant second place in cybercriminals attacks, are trade secrets and intellectual property come second with only 6%.
Due to the fact that industries with franchise and chain stores use the same IT systems across their business, this turned them into top targets. Once a cybercriminal makes a breach into one franchise store system, most likely, they can get into multiple locations. Investigations in 2011 revealed a pattern for cyber attacks in franchise business with more than 30%. After analyzing more than 2 million business passwords Trustwave, concluded that the most frequent global business password is Password1 which may sound like a joke, but it's not. This article is not meant to inhibit people from checking their e-mails in the morning, but to use cation when doing so, and pay attention to spam and fishy emails, in order to not become a victim of internet thieves.

Interviewed at an event for his charity, Andre Johnson, the Texans' All-Galaxy wide receiver, had some hopeful words for DeVier Posey.
Word out of Reliant Park is that the answer to that question is yes. And that is amazing.
A league source has indicated that a young Houston Texans wide receiver will start the season on the PUP list. Thankfully, Houston has DeAndre Hopkins to fill the void.

In-year (casual) admissions are admissions to schools which are outside the main points of entry to school:
Applications will only be considered half a term in advance of a place being required. Children wishing to transfer schools without a house move will normally be admitted to a school from the beginning of each half term. Places not taken up for the half-term requested will be withdrawn. Many schools in the Wokingham Borough may already be full and moving to an area does not guarantee a place at the preferred school.
If you are moving your child to another school because the child is unhappy, we recommend that any issues are addressed with the current school prior to considering a change of school as this can be disruptive to your child's education. Applicants from abroad will be required to provide additional information.
If applying for an own admissions authority school, please refer to the 2013 to 2014 admissions arrangements. Supplementary information forms may be required for these schools and can be downloaded from the document section, below.
If you have been advised by this council, or another local authority, that your application has been unsuccessful, you have the right of appeal.
Wokingham Borough residents must apply, using the Wokingham Borough in-year application form, for schools within this Borough and where a co-ordinated admissions scheme is in operation for other areas of England.
You may also apply direct to us, including families moving to the Borough from abroad, if you can provide evidence of a move to the Borough (e.g. exchange of contracts or signed rental agreement). Families of service personnel or other Crown servants may also apply direct to us if an assignment order can be provided. Refer to the relevant page for further information or to the School Admissions Team for help and advice.
Residents of other authorities should check to see if their home local authority will co-ordinate in-year admissions. If not please complete a Wokingham Borough Council application form.
An in-year guide has been produced for in-year admissions in 2013 to 2014. It is recommended that you read it to understand how your application will be considered.
Fair Access Protocols for the admission of children in-year can be downloaded below:

CLOVER — Celtic Crossroads, an explosion of youthful energy acclaimed as "the most exhilarating and authentic show to come from Ireland in decades," rolls into Clover Thursday.
The group will perform at 8 p.m. at the Clover School District Auditorium. Tickets cost $15.
Practicing traditional Irish arts was outlawed in the group's homeland less than 100 years ago and unlawful gatherings at crossroads were tinged with danger. Nothing was written down, and Irish music was kept secretively in the hearts of its people.
The cast of Celtic Crossroads – all sons and daughters of musicians steeped in the tradition of these handed-down tunes – play with the relish of freedom in tribute to relatives and country.
"The Celtic Crossroads stage production is far more than just musicians playing tunes in the background," said one of the performers, Michael McClintock, in a recent interview.
"Everyone, from the musicians, dancers, directors and technicians, all have the fire of the show within them, which ignites into a cataclysmic performance every single night," McClintock said.
"We make audience members laugh, cry and everything in between," McClintock said. "Each concert is so unique, and we relish the audience interaction when we run on stage."

During halftime of Mansfield's football contest against King Philip, the 2012 Homecoming court was introduced to fans and students at the game.
Representing the Class of 2016 were Connor Finnerty, Julisa Buonora, Derek Lynch, and Julianna Newell.
The Class of 2015 was represented by Michael Boen, Audrey McDonnell, Matthe Considine, and Jamie Piro.
On the field for the Class of 2014 was Paul Bezred, Olivia Losiewicz, Brian McCarthym abd Alexandra Wright.
Finally, George Bezren and Kristen Flammini were the representatives for the Class of 2013 and the Homecoming King and Queen.
Afterwards, all four classes took part in a banner parade as opposed to the float parade that has taken place in the past. The decision to switch to banners was made in an effort to make the tradition more green.
The Class of 2013 was voted by the student body to have the best banner.

Ahhhh. Spooky and College Football Tuesdays at BangtheBook. We go together like rat farts and sewer water. Like Browns home games and piss filled water balloons. Like JB and a brothel full of fat hookers. You get the idea.
Next order of business. I'm testing out a new segment this year called "The Good, The Tard and the Tardest". If you need me to explain this then you probably went to the same school Seal did. In that case get back to your Sponge Bob coloring book so you don't hurt yourself. Let's jump in, here.
The Good
- Matt Barkley
When he's not huffing boner fumes or stealing young men's dirty underwear, Matt Barkley is hurling a multitude of touchdown passes. Listen. I know he's played putrid filth for competition, but this is what the Heisman favorite is supposed to do. He looks great right now and that's excellent news for us USC fans.
-Tajh Boyd
If Boyd keeps playing the way he is currently, the ACC could have it's first legit National Title game contender since Bobby Bowden was tuggin his turkey to barely legal Tallahassee whores. "Daaad Gummit, thas uh sweet, tenduh lookin' underwear pussy! WOOOOOWEEEEEEE!!" I'm not totally bought in yet since Boyd morphed into a turnover machine last year once Clemson started playing not shitty teams. But so far he looks pretty fuckin good.
Okay, MuDawg. This is Georgia's last chance with me. Aaron Murray could be the best QB in the SEC this year as long as the offensive line can keep his milky white cheeks clean. If Murray shines, so do the Dawgs as we saw this past weekend. Beating Missouri was mildly impressive but they have a YOOOOUGE test at South Carolina in 4 weeks. I'll wait until then before I start Dennis Green "CROWNING THEIR ASSES!" And the only reason I say "mildly impressive" is because Blaine Gabbert is a princess fairy.
The Tard
-Michigan's defense
Jesus Christ sucking on tubby lard tits! I would rather French kiss my dog's butthole than watch a single defensive replay from that fucking joke of a performance. Michigan's defense faces a team that runs a dead offense from the 1920's and all of a sudden they sprint around grabbing at each other's dick and balls for 3 hours? I can understand getting hammer fucked by an SEC powerhouse offense but the GOD DAMN AIR FORCE?!?! Fuck my butt, it's gonna be a long season for Wolverine fans if Mattison doesn't get this shit figured out.
This shit is starting to get flat out embarrassing. How does a program go from playing for a National Title 10 years ago to the current state of compost we see today? They looked like a Division II school against Kansas St. But then again...KState is the home of BEST FANTASY RUNNING BACK DARREN SPROLES!! I almost feel bad for everyone at Miami but then I remember that shit heads like Michael Irvin and Kellen "FUCKIN SOLIDER" Winslow played there. Even my wife went to school there. Fuck em.
The Tardest
Great effort, guys! There's a Heisman finalist from last year on the team and he only gets 61 yards against a team that has been PAC-12 gutter trash that's good for between 4 and 9 losses a year. That's just superb football right there. I put 99% of the blame on Bielema for not recruiting QBs and just relying on transfer students to step in and run the offense like they've been there 4 years. Oh...and just because you have a horde of fat fuck offensive lineman that all weigh over 300 pounds doesn't mean shit unless they can block. Go Pack 12!!!!!
John L. Smith does it again! Everything this guy touches turns into muddy diarrhea. I've heard hillbilly, hog nation screaming injustices about dropping out of the top 25. Get fucked. Let's say, in theory, for a moment that Michigan lost to Appalachian State in 2007 as the 5th ranked team in the country. What happened then? That's right, faggots. Out of the top 25...and deservedly so. And if losing to Louisiana-Monroe wasn't bad enough. There's this. I'm begging you. Stop reading right now and watch that video. Seriously. I fucking cried real laughter tears when I first saw this. Hillbillies are good for more than just incest and birth defects.
There you go, bitches.

Rick Ungar, Contributor
I write from the left on politics and policy.
There it was in bold, black print.
A New York Times piece reported that those willing to fork over $500,000 or more to Organization For Action (OFA)—the newly minted, tax-exempt 'social welfare group' that, in its previous life, had been the highly effective grass-roots Obama campaign organization, Organization For America—would be invited to attend quarterly meetings with the president as a reward for their generosity.
While I could envision how an over-amped fundraiser with little knowledge of the rules of the game might make such an error, I was certain that OFA would immediately step forward to set the record straight, denounce any such activity if it had occurred and insure that it would not happen again.
After all, promising such a benefit would come dangerously close to selling influence—something that President Obama has long condemned loudly, frequently and with considerable commitment.
When the organization did come forward to issue a statement refuting the charge, I breathed a sigh of relief—relief that would not last as there appeared to be just too much evidence that these offers had, indeed, been made to the political whales who write the big checks.
The Hill reported—
"According to a source who had been briefed on the ask, donors expect benefits similar to those granted during the campaign — including access to Obama and top White House officials — but had not been offered an explicit "menu" tying amounts to access."
Bob Edgar, president of the non-partisan political watchdog organization, Common Cause, didn't buy the OFA denial, saying that "It just smells. The president is setting a very bad model setting up this organization."
Even MSNBC's Chuck Todd took issue with what he believed to be a pretty nasty transgression on the part of OFA and the White House, noting, "This just looks bad. It looks like the White House is selling access. It's the definition of selling access. If you believe money has a strangle hold over the entire political system this is ceding the moral high ground."
The revulsion—even from those whom we perceive to be supporters of the president or those who can be considered objective in their assessment—is completely understandable given that the taming of the special interests and special access that pollutes Washington was always at the very core of the 'change we could believe in'.
Still, many —including myself—would acknowledge that changing business as usual in our nation's capital is far more easily said than done. And while the sentiment behind the Obama vision of how things should work in Washington was a sentiment we could feel good about, in a world where Citizens United has given his opponents access to seemingly unlimited sums of cash to be used as a club with which to beat down the White House agenda, it is not difficult to understand why the president has found his vision to be a difficult one to execute.
(Continue reading)
You are finally finding out the disconnect between what this President says, and what he does. Look back on his first-campaign promises and see how many have been trashed.
I think you're absolutely right about the second term factor, Rick.
Also, I hate to be 'that guy,' but the first sentence doesn't make sense…….
I'm with Mark Johnson on this. Rick, I agree with you that every president violates some campaign promises, but there is a big difference between "some" and "every."
For that reason I find it easier to not believe ANYTHING Obama says.
Thanks Rick, you're slowly coming around.
Yes, maybe the word "every" was a slight exaggeration.
I didn't think you'd agree with my last sentence, but I'm still going to give you at least partial credit for "coming around."
No doubt about it, selling access is dangerous business.
I just don't like it period. I don't care what the reason is, there is no suitable reason for pay to access a sitting President. I want the same level of access, but I have no interest in paying for it. It gets nasty anytime somebody shows up with a big wad of money in their pocket, or cash filled envelopes.
I thought that sort of thing was kept to the State Legislature level. However, I've got to remember Jack Abramoff served time and he was known for handing out envelopes on the House floor. But he needs to come to Texas where payoffs are hefty and unseen. Governors in Texas never leave office poor and don't usually serve any time.

This is why they've gone out of their way to organise an expo to prove just
that. At the Coca Cola dome, this golfing expo will showcase exactly what golf

about golf will be answered by the trained and overly enthusiastic staff.

Invite your loved ones to the expo to show them that golf can be just as interesting and exciting as playing Rugby, minus the casualties and plus the plaid.
Whether you're a curious newbie or a seasoned veteran, the Expo 18 will have something for everyone. Not content with handing out flyers about the glories of golf, the expo allows every attendee the opportunity to pick up an iron, driver or putter and tee off with the help of a pro.

One day at Expo 18 is all it will take to open your eyes to the exciting world of golf and get you hooked enough to invest in a tee, putter and plaid making factory.

A vice president under Franklin Roosevelt, John Nance Garner is given credit for coining the phrase that the vice presidency "isn't worth a warm bucket of spit."
Some claim he used the word p--s rather than spit. And in researching this column, I discovered there's question as to whether Garner said either statement. Regardless of the debate about Garner's quote, you've got to wonder if the same thought has not crossed the minds of some of Missouri's lieutenant governors.
Missouri's lieutenant governor is similar to the vice presidency — a fancy title, but a job with few real powers.
Similar to the vice president's role as president of the U.S. Senate, Missouri's lieutenant governor is the president of the state Senate. But legislative rules strip the lieutenant governor of the traditional powers you'd expect for a presiding officer like ruling on points of order, assigning bills to committee and appointing committee chairs.
It was Lt. Gov. Bill Phelps who forced the historic test of a lieutenant governor's legislative powers. In 1972, Phelps campaigned as "Full-Time Phelps" with the promise that he would work full time on the job.
I remember Phelps as a feisty fellow. And almost immediately after taking office, the new Republican lieutenant governor sought to expand the traditionally limited role of his presiding powers over the Democrat-controlled Senate.
He was rebuffed in one of the most dramatic scenes I've seen in my decades covering Missouri's Senate. The Senate's top Democratic leader, Bill Cason, simply locked the lieutenant governor out of the chamber so he could not preside.
Senate staff were ordered to block access to the chamber to anyone except senators, legislative staff and reporters. Blocked that afternoon from entering the chamber to take the dais, Phelps went to the state Supreme Court.
The court eventually held that the Senate had to allow him to enter the chamber to assume his constitutional role as "ex officio president" of the Senate. But against the advice of some of his Republican colleagues, Phelps asked the court what it meant to be the chamber's president.
The reply was that Senate rules can define those powers. So the Senate simply adopted rules and procedures that stripped the lieutenant governor of any effective powers except to vote in case of a tie.
In 2004, Democratic Lt. Gov. Joe Maxwell tried to test those rules by refusing to recognize the GOP leadership, to shut off a filibuster on the last day of that year's session. Maxwell's actions were criticized by both Republicans and Democrats.
This is a bit of an institutional issue. Even when the lieutenant governor is of the same party as the majority in the Senate, members tend to look upon the lieutenant governor as an outsider, a representative of the executive branch.
But the lieutenant governor is not a formal member of the administration. He runs separately rather than on a ticket with the governor. And like now, there have been several times when Missouri has had a governor of one party and a lieutenant governor of another party. Current Lt. Gov. Peter Kinder's time in the Senate pretty much is limited to opening the day's session.
The Missouri Constitution does transfer the powers of governor, and even the governor's salary, to the lieutenant governor anytime the governor is out of the state. But years ago, the state Supreme Court held that was an antiquated provision. The court found that provision no longer applied because it was written in an era when communication technology was so limited that a governor could not easily run the office when out of the state.
Several of the lieutenant governors I've covered over the decades started with high hopes they could be major players in the office.
Ken Rothman expressed confidence that he could use the office as a base for major policy initiatives after his 1980 election. Rothman seemed ideally suited to change the nature of the lieutenant governor. He had been the House speaker, in an era when that job was called the second-most powerful position in state government. He had built a solid bipartisan coalition in the House and was one of the state's most effective speakers in recent memory.
But in the Senate, Rothman found himself largely ignored by the more conservative body, some of whose members still were bitter about his role in House-Senate legislative fights of the past.
I still clearly remember the frustrations Rothman voiced to me that even we reporters were ignoring him. The problem was that he no longer was a center of power or news.
So why run for lieutenant governor? It's politics. It's a position that gives one a heightened role in the party, both as a private adviser and as a public standard bearer.
And for a few, it has been a steppingstone to higher office. Tom Eagleton used it for his successful race for the U.S. Senate. So did Mel Carnahan who moved on to governor.
Many others, however, have found it a political dead end. During my time, the office represented the final state election success for Bill Morris, Phelps, Rothman, Harriet Woods, Roger Wilson, Maxwell and, so far, Kinder.
Only two of the nine lieutenant governors I have covered were elected to higher office — although Wilson moved into the governor's chair upon Carnahan's death.

Tottenham Hotspur have completed the signing of Roberto Soldado after the Spain striker passed a medical.
Spurs announced last week that they had reached agreement with Valencia for the transfer of the 28-year-old, who scored 24 goals in 33 Spanish Liga appearances for Los Che last season.
"We are delighted to confirm the signing of Roberto Soldado from Valencia after the player successfully completed his medical," read a statement on the club's website.
Soldado joined Valencia from Getafe in 2010, scoring 59 times in 101 top-flight appearances, and has also played for Real Madrid and Osasuna.
The centre-forward has scored six times in 11 appearances for Spain and was part of the squad that played in this summer's FIFA Confederations Cup in Brazil.
Tottenham Hotspur say they expect Soldado to be available for the club's final pre-season friendly of the summer which is against Espanyol on 10 August at White Hart Lane.
Soldado is head coach Andre Villas-Boas's third signing of the summer following the captures of Paulinho and Nacer Chadli.
Spurs begin their 2013/14 Barclays Premier League campaign at Crystal Palace on 18 August.

Simchat Torah: Love at First Sight
On Simchat Torah, Mary Blye Howe celebrates what Torah means to her and the Jewish community.
BY: Mary Blye Howe
The first time I attended a prayer service at a synagogue, before I converted to Judaism, I felt complete awe when the rabbis removed the Torah from the ark. It was not only one of the most beautiful pieces of art I'd ever seen; the Torah seemed utterly immersed in an ancient and powerful aura of holiness. That night, Temple Emanu-El in Dallas--now my synagogue--was hosting an interfaith service, and the rabbis invited us onto the platform to look at the Torah. I gingerly climbed the stairs and stared, spellbound, as the rabbis talked about how a Torah is made, preserved, repaired, read, blessed, and cared for in the synagogue.
Ten years later, I have not lost that sense of awe. If anything, it's increased. And in the days approaching Simchat Torah--the holiday that commemorates the annual completion of the Torah-reading cycle--I am once again infused with the joy of my connection to the Torah and to Jews worldwide. During Simchat Torah, I'll celebrate the Torah's inner beauty. I'll prepare to begin anew at "In the beginning," Genesis 1, and this year, seek greater depth there, some new, hidden gem.
While my awe of Torah came instantaneously, though, a kind of love at first sight, I often find studying the text difficult. Like most liberal Jews, I take little of it literally. I don't accept an Adam made from dust, or an Eve created from a rib. A God telling people to kill others for land? No. Animals in an ark, God desiring animal sacrifices, God striking people dead for touching the ark that held the tablets of the law? No, no, no.
I've gone repeatedly to Torah study sessions, only to land in one of my rabbi's offices, complaining that Torah study makes me fidgety and uncomfortable. A lot of the discomfort initially stemmed from the fact that I came from a fundamentalist Christian background, and had for many years taken the Bible literally. Now, studying in a Judaic context, I continue to hear occasional comments that are too literal for me. Yet I've learned that Jews simply don't think like fundamentalist Christians. I have to remind myself that as Jews, we are encouraged to grapple with a biblical text, hearing and interpreting it in myriad ways.
Because Jews all over the world follow the same schedule and read the same parsha (Torah portion) in any given week, the completion of the reading at one synagogue coincides with the completion at all other synagogues worldwide. Those of us who have never held the Torah as it's carried down the aisles on Saturday morning will hold it on Simchat Torah. All Torahs will be taken from the ark, and all of those present will have a chance to dance with one. Wine flows freely, while food and singing fill the synagogue.
Each week during Shabbat services, I'll brush the Torah scroll with the fringes of my tallit (prayer shawl) as it is carried around the sanctuary, bringing its holiness back into the core of my being. I'll feel the familiar tingling of my spine as the ark is opened, and we bow and sing the aleinu prayer. As the men and women of my synagogue are called to the bimah to recite the blessings over the Torah scroll or read from the weekly Torah portion, I'll understand a little better the hard work they've put into doing so. As my friend Jack, a Holocaust survivor, waits each week for everyone to leave the chapel, climbs the steps, opens the ark, stands before the Torah scrolls, and quietly recites words I cannot hear, I'll allow his love of what that scroll represents to inflame my heart.
The history of the Jewish people is written there, with all of the tragedies, beauty, foibles, and, ultimately, triumphs. That is one of the reasons we dance: to celebrate the survival of a little group of nomads who clung to Torah regardless of their circumstances. On the 23rd of the Jewish month of Tishrei, I'll have the rare opportunity to watch as all of those scrolls are removed from the ark in my synagogue. We'll culminate our joy of Torah--Simchat Torah--through dance, food, wine, and music.

Other than Keanu Reeves, star of The Matrix and Bill & Ted movies (the Bill & Ted flicks are far better as a series), the HD DVD release of Constantine that we mentioned earlier will also be the first to feature bonus content exclusive to the HD DVD version. Using what they are calling In-movie Experience (IME), you can watch an interview with the director while the film is still playing.
This seems to be the first disc to use any iHD features, it will be interesting to see how well received this is by buyers, not to mention what sort of special features Blu-ray discs will launch with. Until now HD DVD has only offered SD extras copied direct from their DVD cousins, hopefully this marks the end of that era.
Update: VideoBusiness has more information on Universal's release of The Bourne Supremacy, which contains similar interactive features and should be on store shelves near you for $34.98. Batman Begins, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (thanks WiFiSpy) and Dukes of Hazzard are also slated to get the interactive treatment, no release dates yet.

The sun poked through the clouds for Swim Across America's Swim for a Cure event at the Vista Hermosa Sports Park San Clemente Aquatics Center on Sunday morning.
Founded in 1985, the nonprofit organization Swim Across America raises money and awareness for cancer-related research, treatments and prevention through swim events and with the help of volunteers across the nation.
"Everyone we've come in contact with has lost someone to cancer," said local swim and coach legend Byron Reidenbaugh. "It's very important that people are coming to contribute to this cause."
The Crown Valley Divers, the 2011 Amateur Athletic Union National Champion dive team, showcased their skills Sunday. Relay races featured traditional swimming with freestyle and butterfly strokes, along with playful races including floatation devices.
"The quicker we can cure this disease, the better," said Co-Event Organizer and Coach for Swim for a Cure Barbara Helton. "The intent of the day is to have fun with the kids while raising awareness."
The Swim for a Cure raised over $13,000 for the day, which is more than half of their aspired goal of $25,000.
"I can't believe how many people I know that are either battling or overcoming cancer," said volunteer Frank Bassett. "The best thing I can do is encourage people to fight the good fight to overcome this evil."

Hey everyone, a real true blue Aussie here. This recipe is probably one of the closest to the middle ground, of the various types we make. But just a note, **they don't HAVE to be crunchy** In Australia, we are split. Half like them crunchy, half like them chewy. I think chewy only just wins, at least where I'm from. It is said that the women back at home in WWI wanted to make biscuits for the men at war, as they were concerned they weren't eating well. But as they were on rations, they didn't have eggs. So this recipe was born. Or so they say. Just remember, these biscuits are great crunchy or chewy!!!
Much different from the standard cookie mixes from my American recipes. I made these for an Aussie friend of mine. She was so excited. Although, I ended up using Karo light syrup instead of the golden. She assured me they tasted the same as what she remembered her mother making. I've tried with regular coconut and toasted. My household liked it best with the toasted coconut.
Wasn't sure which syrup here in Colorado (U.S.) was considered "golden" so I got the wrong one ("Karo Corn Syrup with real Brown Sugar") not sure how it affected the taste. Also, our first batch was SOOO super dry, we couldn't keep the cookies together at all! They were falling apart all over the cookie pans. The taste was good (or what you expect with ANZAC cookies) but all were so crumbly, and big balls as they didn't spread. So I read somewhere that in Australia the Tablespoon is bigger than here in U.S. (?) and so made a second batch and added more syrup and butter (like 2 more T. butter) and then they spread out like in the pictures. (Very greasy on the fingers, though, to drop onto cookie sheet because of all the butter, definitely use a spoon.) But they were what we had expected to get the first time. Everyone seemed to gobble them up (in my son's 7th grade class.) Also used Mound's shredded coconut; yummy.

Exhibition and panel discussion at the Art Institute of Boston at Lesley hails the work of Ochlik, killed during the battle of Homs with journalist Marie Colvin in 2012
Thursday, December 20, 2012
The exhibit, titled "Revolutions," features 56 images by Ochlik, who, until his death at age 28, covered pivotal events around the world including riots in Haiti in 2004 surrounding the fall of President Jean-Bertrand Aristide, war in the Democratic Republic of Congo in 2008, the cholera epidemic and presidential elections in Haiti in 2010, and the Tunisian and Egyptian revolutions and the uprising and war in Libya in 2011.
The exhibit will run from January 26 until February 22, 2013 in The Art Institute of Boston (AIB) Main Gallery, 700 Beacon Street, Boston.
It is free and open to the public, and a panel discussion will be held on January 30, 2013 at 7pm in Lesley's Washburn Auditorium, 10 Phillips Place, Cambridge featuring: Moderator Stephen Mayes; Karim Ben Khelifa, a Belgian-Tunisian photojournalist and co-founder and CEO of Emphas.is, a website designed to promote crowd-funded visual journalism; Ludovic Blecher, executive director and editor-in-chief of French newspaper Libération; and Judith Matloff, a professor at Columbia University's graduate journalism program. Read coverage of the panel discussion here.
"Given the crucial importance of humane and accurate reporting on the Middle East today, we are honored to have this show of Ochlik's work," said Stan Trecker, Dean of The Art Institute of Boston at Lesley. "His courage and intelligence resulted in compelling documentation of his experience during the Arab Spring. The photographs portray the complexities of the political and social realities for those living in the Middle East, most especially Egypt, Libya, and Syria. We are grateful to our colleagues at the Consulate General of France in Boston who are co-sponsoring this exhibition and the related events."
Ochlik's photographs have been published in publications such as Le Monde Magazine, Paris Match, Time and The Wall Street Journal, among others. Ochlik's photos of the Arab Spring received the "Grand Prix Jean-Louis Caldeon" award and he also won first prize in the 2012 "World Press Photo" contest for his photograph of a Libyan rebel fighter. His work from Haiti in 2004 was awarded the Francois Chalais Award for Young Reporters and was projected at Visa pour l'Image International Photojournalism Festival.
Ochlik was born in eastern France in 1983. After graduating from high school, he went to Paris to study photography. He also started working for Wostok, a photography agency. In 2005 he founded his own agency called IP3 PRESS, with the goal of covering news in Paris and conflicts around the world. The New York Times article about this death can be read HERE. Learn more about Ochlik and view his photos HERE.

This was my first time at Urban,
and the overall experience was very nice. There was an outdoor patio, but it was Texas during the summer. But it would be nice to try that out during the fall. There was live music playing in the bar area, but in the restaurant, you could hear it but it wasn't overpowering where it would drown out a conversation. The service was good, quick and attentive but not in our faces bothering us. The food was all good. I will definitely be back."

Beautiful modern style restaurant
but the food falls short. Food presentations were lack luster. Then there was the Greasy Calamari...Caesar salad served with grilled tomatoes?...Scallops and Grits, well, have your seen pinkish gray grits before? Carbonara with separated cream sauce? The setting is beautiful, the server was lovely, but the food needs help!"
Dined on 7/11/2014
In town for a wedding and needed a
place for an early brunch near the Domain Development. Urban an american grill fit the bill with outstanding service, very good ambience and nice brunch buffet that was visually appealing. There were no signature dishes to speak of but they had very good made to order omelets and pancakes along with a variety of meats and cheeses amongst the usual brunch fare. The chocolate pastry received high marks with second orders."

I have no idea what the HOTEL
itself is like but if I were going to judge whether I'd stay there based on their restaurant, I would move along. The brunch was nothing different than any other chain restaurants "free breakfast when you stay with us". After hearing nice things about the Mothers Day brunch, the kids and I decided to take my husband there for Fathers Day brunch. They were touting that, along with the Bluegrass music being played live. Ok, the music was good. The food...disappointing. The server was attentive and professional - and he even brought us our check, comp'ing 2 of the brunches, although we did not say a THING about being disappointed. We will no be returning to this location. :("

This was a good time. My husband
did ask for the Filet Mignon and they were out and when he ordered his steak well done, he had to send it back one more time. But overall the waiter was nice and they did offer us a dessert on the house and we had the banana split. It was Delicious, also the crispy brussell sprouts for an appetizer was delicious!"
Dined on 5/16/2014
We had eaten lunch here two years
ago, shortly after they opened. Not good. However, we had a Restaurant.com coupon and went there for dinner. We both had great dinners - the wife the Scottish Salmon and me the Smoke 8 ounce Filet Mignon with salt and pepper fries and asparagus. Delicious. They hand cut their fries thin and long - were cooked brown outside and soft inside, just like I had hoped. This is not cheap but not expensive compared to some high end restaurants. It's located inside the Wyndham adjacent to a high end outdoorsy mall with all the haute couture shops, including Nieman Marcos. So, you can enjoy the shops then eat a good meal."

more menu options. I will not be returning again while in the Domain area, which I visit frequently."

I took my wife and our three young
children to urban for Mother's Day brunch in an effort to stay a little closer to home rather than drive downtown this year. It was a gamble that paid off. The brunch was great. If I had to be picky, I'd say the risotto was a little underdone and the layout of the brunch could be improved. Most importantly, though, our waitress - Mari - was fantastic. Sometimes for a serve-yourself brunch you will see your waiter/waitress once when they take your drink order, then they fade away. Mari was attentive, professional, and flexible. Five-star service at a relaxed, elegant brunch."

I had filtered my search results
with "$$" priced restaurants. I guess it was my fault for not checking pricing a bit closer but when I got the check I never in a million years would have imagined Easter Sunday brunch to cost $50 per person! I chose this restaurant that day because it advertised live jazz. I wanted to treat my wife and mom to a special Easter brunch, but there was no band. I asked our waitress, she checked with the manager who told her the band had cancelled on them the night before. The food (buffet) was good, but for $50 per person, I would have expected much better. The best thing about our experience was our waitress who was friendly and did an outstanding job. Will not go back, way too pricy for this patron."
Dined on 4/20/2014
We really enjoyed the Easter
brunch and $1 mimosas!!! Great variety, food and excellent service. "
Dined on 4/20/2014
They had a good selection of craft
beers on tap. Not a lot just enough to make it interesting. The menu was a little bit limited but had a reasonable array of items. The usual sandwiches followed by exquisite entrees. Pretty much had a wide gamut in prices from the affordable to the special occasion orders. Restaurant was not particularly crowded on a Saturday night so we go right in. The waitress was pleasant and attentive."

We went for Sunday brunch. They
have an interesting menu of different type of brunch items, $1 Mimosas and Kir Royals. They were accommodating and made me a Kir. There was also a bluegrass band playing and they were very good. Out waitress was very friendly and personable. She made recommendations and told us what her favorites were. All in all it was a very nice Sunday."

Urban, American Grill has become

This I restaurant is part of the
Westin hotel, but is in a great location and not a typical "hotel restaurant". Good, inventive fusion menu and excellent service!"
Dined on 2/15/2014
Prime rib was gristle. They had to
over cook it just to make it edible. They were also unable to get the steak cooked correctly to begin with. They made us wait for 40 minutes when we had a reservation. I could see empty tables. When we finally were seated the food took almost 30 minutes to arrive and all the steaks were over cooked. There were empty tables but the kitchen was obviously in the weeds. This place is just a hotel restaurant with over priced entrees. There are many better restaurants within walking distance of this one."
Dined on 2/15/2014
We picked Urban since we were
staying at the Westin. The host seated us promptly and the atmosphere was pleasant. The calamari appetizer was good but nothing special. My dates scallops were excellent and my ribs had a good flavor to the meat but the BBQ sauce was a little sweet for my taste. The ribs were served with fries which they were great about not putting the Parmesan cheese on but there was no normal mustard in the restaurant. The entire service the waiter seemed flustered, unfamiliar with the wine list and took long periods to do simple tasks. Would have been a higher rating if waiter had matched that expectations of even a more casual restaurant."
Dined on 2/15/2014
My wife and I had to wait 30
minutes for our reservation. Never a good start. When we finally sat, service was slow. I didn't have a fork. We ordered champagne, and they left the wine glasses on the table the entire meal. Between courses, we had to ask for fresh silverware each time. The sea bass was dry and unremarkable. My frisée salad was dry and plain. I kept My brownie was alright. For $100 a person, there is too much competition in the Domain and the rest of Austin to go back to this restaurant. Save your time and spend your money elsewhere. I would have rather gone to North, Jasper's, Copper, Fleming's, or Daily Grill. And those are all walking distance from here. They all have better food and service."
Dined on 2/14/2014
It wasn't really romantic when
people are sitting next to u like at McDonald's. The food is over priced for quality of it. I would not recommend doing a special occasion. I it's more for like big parties or for really rich people who like there food to look fancy instead of being good. I know ribeye steaks are fattie but I didn't think they would leave all the fat on steak."
Dined on 2/14/2014
The two chefs put together a
remarkable menu befit for a high-end restaurant in NY or LA. The four-course meal had all of the right notes; appetizers that set the tone, salad that didn't skimp on flavor, main course with punch, and desserts that made one appreciate their taste buds. It is not often that I eat sweet potato bisque and the chefs made an extraordinarily tasty and rich one. The frisee salad had perfectly cooked pork belly with a delightfully light vinaigrette. The tobacco smoked ribeye had enough flavor for three meals and I was informed by my date that the champagne poached sea bass was perfect. Finally, the bacon bourbon brownie AND white chocolate cranberry bread pudding put two exclamation points on the evening. Thank you!"
Dined on 2/14/2014
Fixed menu price was ok the main
course was very poor. We ordered steaks and both sent them back to tough to eat then swiched to fish which was ok,and the second steak was no better. Some one should have followed up but with several different people picking up,delivering etc no chance to tell anybody. To pay $225.00 for a dinner with a bad main course Austin has many better choices,Flemings for one. We arte foodies and had heard good things and this is our second try and will not be back,don't mind the price if the meal is worth it. Attention to detail poor but good service and poor food. Good luck no on our list,and my girl friend works in the Domain. Scott S"

We originally had 6:00 p.m.
reservations, but my friend wanted earlier reservations(sorry we had to change, we missed the live entertainment). It seems that the dinner staff was just coming on board and our waitress was delightful. She recommended items from the menu and the appetizer was fabulous. We (the birthday girl, her brother and I) had three different entrées. The Fish Tacos were delicious, the Salmon was fantastic and the bar-be-cue chicken was outstanding! The chef did a wonderful job with the presentation, the portions were good and the food was hot. We were served a complimentary dessert for the B'day girl and I had the Bread Pudding. A must try for any one dining at the URBAN."

Went to urban for Christmas dinner
because we were staying in the Austin area and couldn't find much else open. We should have went with our instincts and found a Chinese food restaurant as tradition demands if you cant eat at home. The menu was set and it was $50 per person. We didn't have a problem with either of those things, but it all came down to the food. When the best part of your meal is the salad, then you know its been disappointing. We had steak and fish dishes that were bland and cooked without care (steak wasn't cooked to temperature, wasn't seasoned well and not seared and rendered for flavor and the fish still had a couple of small pin bones). Desserts were simply awful."

Finding ourselves alone on
Christmas Day we really felt like going out. It's very hard to find a good restaurant that is open on Christmas Day. We found urban grill and were very pleased with the food. They had fixed menu that day so we had only 2 choices for our main entree. The food was very delicious!"
Dined on 12/25/2013
I nearly had to give only two
stars because they don't tell you (at least, in Open Table) that the restaurant is in the Westin. And it is a typical hotel restaurant - typical, scatter brained type menu (aka "something for everyone"), unnecessarily pricey, hotel atmosphere, but I gave three stars because the service was fantastic and the food is above average ... for a hotel restaurant. Other commenters say that it has a great happy hour and probably that's going to be the only part I would check out in the future. To be clear, we did not have a bad experience. It was just a shock that our Open Table reservation to some restaurant we'd never been to before turned out to be a hotel restaurant."

My friend and I tried Urban: An

I can see myself coming back and trying other things on the menu."
