Beautiful, fragile Dina Reich, a young woman in Jerusalem's ultra-Orthodox haredi enclave, stands accused of the community's most unforgivable sin: adultery. Raised with her sisters to be an obedient daughter and a dutiful wife, Dina secretly yearned for the knowledge, romance, and excitement that she knew her circumscribed life would never satisfy. When her first romance is tragically thwarted, she willingly enters into an arranged marriage with a loving but painfully quiet man. Dina's deeply repressed passions become impossible to ignore, finding a dangerous outlet in a sudden and intense obsession with a married man, with terrible consequences. Exiled to New York City, Dina meets Joan, a modern secular woman who challenges all she knows of the world and herself.
Set against the exotic backdrop of Jerusalem's glistening white stones and ancient rituals, Sotah is a contemporary story of the struggle to reconcile tradition with freedom, and faith with love.

The Mother of All Tax Breaks
by Charles Lemos, Tue Dec 15, 2009 at 11:35:49 PM EST
The Washington Post is reporting that the Internal Revenue Service granted an exemption late last week allowing Citigroup, the nation's third largest bank, to preserve a $38 billion tax benefit that Citibank would have forfeited if it repaid the money it had borrowed via the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) back to the US Treasury. The decision essentially waives a longstanding rule that disqualified certain tax breaks if a significant ownership stake changed hands in an effort to discourage outside investors from buying tax benefits.
The Internal Revenue Service on Friday issued an exception to long-standing tax rules for the benefit of Citigroup and a few other companies partially owned by the government. As a result, Citigroup will be allowed to retain billions of dollars worth of tax breaks that otherwise would decline in value when the government sells its stake to private investors.
While the Obama administration has said taxpayers are likely to profit from the sale of the Citigroup shares, accounting experts said the lost tax revenue could easily outstrip those profits.
The IRS, an arm of the Treasury Department, has changed a number of rules during the financial crisis to reduce the tax burden on financial firms. The rule changed Friday also was altered last fall by the Bush administration to encourage mergers, letting Wells Fargo cut billions of dollars from its tax bill by buying the ailing Wachovia.
"The government is consciously forfeiting future tax revenues. It's another form of assistance, maybe not as obvious as direct assistance but certainly another form," said Robert Willens, an expert on tax accounting who runs a firm of the same name. "I've been doing taxes for almost 40 years, and I've never seen anything like this, where the IRS and Treasury acted unilaterally on so many fronts."
It's effectively a subsidy though perhaps unavoidable in order to unwind the Treasury Department's one-third ownership of Citigroup. The US Treasury Department plans to begin selling its shares that it received as part of the TARP loan along with the Citibank's planned $17 billion follow-on stock offering. Such an ownership change would have required a forfeiture of these tax breaks. While the value of US Treasury held shares are likely to appreciate, only 34 percent of that benefit accrues to the government. The rest will benefit Citibank shareholders. Still no matter which way you slice it, it is a $38 billion dollar hit to the Treasury Department.
Edward Harrison of Credit Writedowns defines the issue:
At issue is accounting for loss carry-forwards. Basically, it works like this: if a company loses money in one year, the company can then offset its profit during a fixed number of subsequent years with that prior loss to reduce its tax bill. For instance, if Megacorp loses $100 million in year 0, but makes $200 million in Year 1, it can pay Year 1 taxes as if it had only made $100 million. This tax treatment is designed to level the playing field for cyclical companies that operate at a loss for part of the business cycle.
The problem, however, is that this can be used by predators in mergers. The predator company can swoop in and buy a company in a deal that makes no sense except to gain a tax benefit from the huge net operating losses (NOLs) it inherits from its prey. In order to prevent tax-motivated acquisitions of loss-making companies, the IRS limits how much of the NOLs a company can use post-merger. In Canada, unclaimed NOLs expire immediately when change of control occurs.
During the credit crisis, the Bush Administration relaxed these rules. Initially Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson benefitted Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac under IRS Issue Notice 2008-76 (pdf.) when they were taken into conservatorship. (See Yves Smith's post here.) Treasury then rewrote tax law to include banks under IRS Issue Notice 2008-83 (pdf.). For example, Wells Fargo was exempted from a change of control NOL loss when it acquired Wachovia. I assume the same was true in all the bank mergers after Lehman failed. The rationale for the exemption was that tax law needed to make accommodation as it was only designed to prevent the kind of predatory acquisition I mentioned earlier.
But the law is the law and it applies to everyone. Exemptions under this law are a huge hidden freebie.
Furthermore as the New York Times notes the "ruling raises questions about whether federal officials moved too quickly to allow Citigroup to begin untangling itself from the government, given its fragile health. " Additionally given the political climate, the deal is likely to draw sharp criticism even as if the sweeping changes to two decades of tax policy were initially and quietly effected under Hank Paulson and the Bush Treasury Department. The decision will provide ammunition to those who argue that Obama is just like Bush.

AUGUSTA COUNTY -- Access to a federally-funded preschool called Head Start could be in jeopardy with sequester budget cuts.
Shenandoah Valley Head Start Director Steve Troxell has worked with Head Start for nearly two decades. The sequester could mean fewer preschoolers get an early start on education.
"Those children and families would have to find preschool opportunities somewhere else. If they can't afford that, then they will not have those opportunities," said Troxell.
Troxell said the program helped thousands of students in the Valley, including at Ladd Elementary School. About 1,000 Head Start spots could disappear in Virginia if budget cuts happen.
Head Start relies on other organizations that could also face cuts.
"If they lose their personnel, and or service capacities, that's going to impact the children and families that we serve."
He hopes Head Start will keep teaching students in the Valley.
"We have strong programs here in the Valley in public schools, and we're just doing our part."
The Head Start program has around 300 students from the Valley this year.

It is sort of normal for 30 seconds exposure if you don't let the camera do its noise reduction by taking the second pic automatically. But be aware that if you are using any resolution other than full size RAW you will see even more rd pixels since the substraction of noise and hot pixels seems to work only on full size raw, at least on my experience..l.

i also have a 5d mark iii, i never knew about this testing until i read your post. so i decided to give it a try with cap on at iso 100 30s i saw only 1 ho pixetl, iso400 30s this time i saw 8, iso 800 30s 14 hot pixels and iso 2000 at 30s around 20 hot pixels. when i turned on noise reduction for iso 800 at 30s i think i saw only 1, so if you are concerned about hot pixels, just turn on nr and you should be fine. i know your hot pixels are consistent at any given iso, i think it's normal (12), if you decided to send to canon they would probably say the same, unless you have dead pixels, than that would be different story.
looking at the pics u provided at iso 800, you are getting almost the exact number of hot pixels as mine, so i think this is normal for 5d mark iii. how about you guys out there who has 5d3 can you try this testing and post your results?
But, I thought HoneyBadger don't care?
I'm gonna try your long exposure technique on my 1D X and report back my findings.

Man accused of trying to take officer's gun, resisting arrest
SALEM - Police responding to a fight outside a home on Stonegate Lane arrested 20-year-old Dalton Cyr, 20, of Salem, charging him with trying to take a firearm away from an officer.
Cyr was charged with attempting to take a firearm from a law enforcement officer, criminal mischief, simple assault, resisting arrest and unlawful possession of alcohol.
He was being held on $50,000 bail.
Police were initially called Friday around 3:30 a.m. for a report of two men fighting in the street. The caller told police that one man was lying in the roadway and the other had fled on foot toward Haverhill Road.
The two men were found and taken into custody.
As officers turned their attention to 11 Stonegate Lane, four people took off on foot into the woods. Police said several other occupants were intoxicated and under 21 years old. Two people inside the residence became combative but were eventually subdued and taken into custody, police said.
One of them, Eric Greenwood, 21, of Methuen, Mass., shattered the rear window of a cruiser with his head, police said. Greenwood was also charged with resisting arrest, criminal mischief, disorderly conduct, prohibited sales and simple assault.
Cyr attempted to grab Officer Joseph Freda's firearm during a struggle, police said.
Freda was able to stop Cyr but sustained a hand injury. Freda was treated and released at Parkland Medical Center.
Police also charged Edward Colon, 22, of Methuen, Mass., with possession of controlled drugs and simple assault.

Ashlea Ebeling, Forbes Staff
I write about how to build, manage and enjoy your family's wealth.
If your income is too high, you can't contribute directly to a Roth individual retirement account, but you can get one in a backdoor way. Step 1: Open a traditional IRA (in your case, it's nondeductible). Step 2: Convert it to a Roth IRA. Is it worth it? "It's a no-brainer if you have the cash to do it," says Kevin Huston, an enrolled agent in Asheville, N.C. who has clients both young and old doing it to shore up their retirement savings. "It especially makes sense for people who are younger because they have all these years of tax-free growth," he says.
Basically, you get an extra $5,000 (or $6,000 if you're 50 or older) each year that grows in the Roth IRA income-tax free. That's $10,000 (or $12,000) a year for a married couple. Repeat each year, and you can amass a nice retirement kitty. The audience for backdoor Roths is a niche, appealing to those earning too much to contribute to Roths directly but not so much that the extra tax savings doesn't seem worth the effort. Vanguard says that "backdoor Roth" contributions represented about 2 percent of traditional IRA contributions in 2011. (Income restrictions on conversions were lifted starting Jan. 1, 2010, so anyone—regardless of income—can convert a traditional IRA to a Roth.)
Why go through the hoops of getting money into a Roth IRA? They are an amazing deal, especially for folks looking long-term and expecting higher tax rates in the future. With a Roth IRA you don't ever have to take money out, and when you do start taking money out, it's all income-tax-free, including the earnings. By contrast, with a traditional IRA, earnings grow tax-deferred, you have to start taking required mandatory distributions the year after you turn 70.5, and distributions count as income. A Roth can help keep your tax bite down in retirement. (Ideally you want a mix of taxable, tax-deferred and tax-free accounts to draw from in retirement.)
A Roth IRA also has other benefits. Medicare premiums are based on income, so by keeping your income down, you'll pay a lower premium. And if you leave a Roth account to a child, he or she will have to take money out each year, but there will be no income tax hit. (Inheriting a $100,000 Roth IRA is a whole lot better than inheriting a $100,000 traditional IRA; the higher your beneficiary's tax bracket, the bigger the savings).
Here's how the strategy is helping a couple in their 40s build their nest egg. The wife's in marketing with a pharmaceutical company, and the husband is a stay-at-home dad. First, she's maxing out on her company pre-tax 401(k) plan contributions—putting away the full $17,000 for 2012—her employer doesn't offer a Roth 401(k) option. The couple told their tax advisor Huston they want to save more, but they can't contribute to Roth IRAs directly because her income is nearly $200,000 a year. (Once your modified adjusted gross income is $183,000 for a couple filing jointly or $125,000 for singles, no Roth IRA contributions are allowed).
But they can each contribute to a traditional IRA. They don't get a deduction because of the wife's high income, so it's called a nondeductible IRA. She puts away $5,000, and he puts away $5,000 (his IRA is based on her earning and called a nondeductible spousal IRA; otherwise you have to have earned income to contribute to an IRA). Then they convert the IRAs into Roth IRAs. That sounds complicated but you can do it online, and it's almost as easy as transferring money from checking to savings. You pay income tax the next April only on any earnings accrued between the time you contributed to the nondeductible IRA and converted to a Roth.
There's one big caveat to the backdoor Roth: the pro rata rule. When you calculate the taxes due on a conversion, you have to take into account all your IRA assets, not just the new $5,000 nondeductible IRA. For example, if you have a traditional IRA with $95,000 of money from a 401(k) rollover (the $95,000 contributions were made on a pre-tax basis), and you make a $5,000 nondeductible contribution to a new IRA, the conversion would be 95% taxable.
So when might it make sense to skip this whole exercise? Ronald Finkelstein, a CPA and lawyer with Marcum in Melville, N.Y., said he personally makes nondeductible IRA contributions each year and has considered doing a Roth conversion but passed because he has accumulated a large sum in a traditional IRA he opened 30 years ago when he had a newspaper route. Plus, he may retire to Florida, so paying the New York state tax bite wouldn't make sense. "You have to do the calculations," he warns.
But sometimes it can still make sense for folks, even older folks, with big traditional IRAs, to do the backdoor Roth. Another Huston client, a 68-year-old builder, does them as part of a holistic plan to get more of his net worth into tax-free accounts so he and his wife (and grandchildren) will have the accounts to tap as part of a tax diversification strategy. He just did a $6,000 backdoor Roth for the third year in a row. At the end of each calendar year, Huston and he look at his income and decide how much to convert from his traditional IRA too (one year it was $50,000; one year $25,000), keeping in mind what would push him into a higher tax bracket.
There's still time to make an IRA contribution for calendar year 2011 through April 17, 2012. You can double up and make your 2012 contribution too. How long should you wait to convert? "It's a grey area," says Robert Keebler, a CPA in Green Bay, Wisc. He suggests a waiting period of six months, although other advisors say to convert the next day to limit the tax bite on the conversion.
For a run-around the dreaded pro rata rule, see The Backdoor Roth IRA, Advanced Version.

The amount of money you make is up to you, if you work hard at it you can make $2,000 per day, if you want to do it part time for an hour per day you can easily make $200 per day. It's much easier to do than you think and if you'd like to see what this is all about. Come over to my website "G0ld Trading Academy" and I'll show you.
The IRS really hates step transactions. And as Keebler points out, we don't know how long you have to wait between funding the traditional, non-deductible IRA and doing the conversion. Has anyone gotten a private letter ruling on this? I suspect not, since the stakes aren't high enough to justify the cost of getting one. In addition, the IRS could argue that if Congress wanted everyone to be able to fund a Roth IRA, they wouldn't have imposed the income limits. Proceed with caution.
Whether IRS hates the steps or not the window is there and open. No one out there denies doing this is wrong or not allowed by IRS.
What Congress wants and what they have done are 2 different things.
convert while you can as much as you can!
I've read some conflicting info on the rules for this process. I've seen articles that indicate that that a given account can only have one rollover per 356 days and other limitations on how long the money must be in an account before it is rolled. What I'd like to do is create an IRA. Contribute the max nondeductible amount then immediately roll it into a ROTH. I'd like to do this every year. Do you see any issues with this approach?
Mmmm So many g'ment rules, so little time. Twenty years away, what will the tax codes look like? Oh, Bummer.
Buying Gold and burying it in the back yard is a much better inflation hedge than any IRA, Roth or otherwise.
I dont understand why so many people thing a IRA is a investment it is not it is an "Account" you can fund it with almost any type investment you want.
In this case just do the Roth and buy GLD. Then you do not have to pay guards to look after you back yard.
I think that the real question would be if the low rate and low risk Roth IRA is worth the trouble and effort versus an easy investment in gold (although gold seems a bit expensive atm). the plethora of complications involved in a conversion also may make it seem less attractive…
Roth accounts do not have risk or no risk they are an "Account" what you put inside of it has the risk or low rates. You can buy ETF's that are linked to the price of gold.
you can buy CD's at a bank or Stocks at a brokerage firm or Annuity from a Insurance company
Any of which could be low or high risk, high or low to now fee's .
Every asset allocation has risk by definition. Any time you put your money anywhere you are exposed to credit risk. Hence the s&p downgrade of the United States as an example- regardless of whether or not it is trivial risk, it is measurable. Even if you put cash under your pillow, you are subject to the risk of inflation, home intrusion, etc.

European Central Bank President Mario Draghi says he's been told by GreekPrime Minister Lucas Papademos that a deal has been reached on new austerity measures that Eurozone finance ministers have been seeking from Greece before it gets a crucial $173 billion bailout, The Financial Times is reporting.
Originally published on Wed February 8, 2012 4:42 am
The deal Greek officials are working on includes several more painful concessions. Among them, reducing the minimum wage.
Joanna Kakissis reports from Athens on how strong unions secured those wages and why some economists say those guarantees have to go.
JOANNA KAKISSIS, BYLINE: The minimum wage in Greece is about one $1,000 a month before taxes. International lenders say it must be reduced to about $780 a month to make the Greek economy more competitive.
A day that began with the Anonymous hackers posting a nearly 17-minute recording of a conference call between officials of the FBI and Scotland Yard has been followed with some tweeted taunting of law enforcement and the news media, and the hacking of websites for the Greek Ministry of Justice, Boston Police Department and lawyers who defended a U.S. Marine at the center of the killing of 24 unarmed Iraqi civilians.
Originally published on Mon May 7, 2012 10:12 am
Greece is broke. But there's no blueprint for a country to declare bankruptcy, so Greece's creditors are sort of making things up as they go along.
"You're taking some sort of loss," Hans Humes of Greylock Capital Management told me. "But it's like, how much of a loss do you take? There's this thing called sovereign immunity. You can't go in and take the Acropolis."
Originally published on Wed December 21, 2011 3:08 pm
As Greece struggles with a financial crisis, there have been violent protests, creditors demanding their money, people losing their jobs and officials hunkering down.
A decade ago, that was the scene in South America when Argentina and Uruguay defaulted. The two handled the economic calamity in very different ways. Economists say their approaches — and what's happened in each country since — are instructive for European leaders as they try lifting Greece from its turmoil.

Obama's Scandal Strategy: Flood the Zone
With some much coming to light it's hard to keep track of who did what to whom, where, and why.
It's official. Obama and company have reached the point where you can no longer tell the scandal without a scorecard.
The last few months have been especially bad for the president, once considered a kind of golden boy, emblematic of a new, post-partisan age in American politics. Since winning re-election seven months ago, things have been heading down hill for him and his administration at a fairly rapid rate in some kind of "second term curse." It's more appropriate to attribute the bad news lately breaking to the failure to keep watch on what the administration had been doing from the beginning. The pile just got too high and is in the process of tumbling over.
That the president could do no wrong was once an infectious idea, the best example possibly being MSNBC's Chris Matthews' oft-quoted comment about feeling a tingle up his leg when he heard Obama speak. As we now know, the nation's chief executive is just a man – capable of making mistakes and misleading the country on a myriad of issues.
[Check out our editorial cartoons on President Obama.]
To some the straw that finally broke the camel's back was the revelation that the National Security Agency has been spying on phone calls and email transmissions and other forms of communications used, not by spies for hire or foreign governments, but by the American people.
Honestly, too little is known at this point in time about what the agency was actually doing to render a judgment either way about the morality and propriety of its actions. The sudden resignation of the deputy director of the CIA certainly doesn't help matters. But what makes this a scandal of the highest order is that a 20-something government contractor and ex-CIA employee was able to put at least a few of the "crown jewels" of America's intelligence community on display for all to see.
It's not too hard to believe that the same policymakers who don't take the "war on terror" seriously, who refuse to call even the most obvious acts of politically motivated violence "terrorism" have been less than vigilant in making sure America keeps its secrets. This is only one piece of the puzzle however, part of a disturbing pattern of surveillance, of intimidation, of implied threats, of mismanagement and of deception that makes it nigh impossible for the people to put much faith in the government right now.
[See a collection of editorial cartoons on the NSA.]
The newest scandal involves a high-ranking U.S. diplomatic official who reportedly has been accused of soliciting prostitutes and under-aged – by European standards – sexual partners who may have repeatedly slipped the leash of his security detail so he could engage in illicit behavior. It also may involve, informed speculation says, at least one senior U.S. State Department official who, when notified that something might be up, chose to look the other way.
The story is still unfolding and the rumor mill is running on overdrive so we'll have to wait and see where it all goes. Nevertheless it seems somehow curious that the Obama administration has repeatedly bobbled, bungled, and botched items in the area of national security and foreign policy – everything from leaving Poland and the Czech Republic surprised and holding the short end of the stick on a joint missile defense program from which the U.S. unexpectedly bailed to the myriad mysteries still surrounding what happened in Benghazi and why.
[See a collection of editorial cartoons on Benghazi.]
With so much smoke being created by all these missteps is it possible there is actually a fire to go along with it? Each week brings with it a new scandal, something exciting to attract the attention of the public and the media and the opposition.
This may be the point. With some much coming to light it's hard to keep track of who did what to whom, in which agency, and why or why not. It's also hard to keep feeding new, salacious, attention-grabbing facts to the media every day in order that pro-Obama partisans cannot use a lull in a particular investigation to claim "Show's over … Nothing more to see here. Keeping moving along people, keep moving."
All this hurts the president's poll numbers but will not really damage his presidency; that will only happen when something concrete is found and placed in the center ring of the circus of public opinion. The hope of some GOP operatives to the contrary, the "Ship of State" has not yet hit the rocks. The Obama presidency can survive bad news for as long as it wants as long as it retains the ability to change the subject.

A thorough exposition of the thory of the zangfu (internal organ systems) in Chinese medicine.
Availability: In stock
This is a very complete and comprehensive textbook on the zangfu -the heart of the theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine. The book is presented in four parts.
In the first, the background to the theory of the zang fu is laid out. There is a brief analysis of the differences between the conceptual basis of Chinese and Western medicine, a definition of some of the main terms and ideas used in TCM, and an overview of the theories of the Causes of Disease and the differentiation According to the Eight Principles.
Part Two covers each of the zang fu in turn, listing first the functions and then all the syndromes or patterns in great detail, and forms the largest section of the book. In part Three, the interrelations of the zang fu are considered, with particular emphasis on disharmonies involving more than one organ. The final part, 'Clinical practice', includes a number of valuable case histories.
The material in this book is meticulously presented and it deserves to be widely used as a basic textbook for students and practitioners of acupuncture and TCM.

By Rebecca Lindamood, Local columnist
---- — I'd like to see a show of hands: who out there has a tendency to overbook themselves? Yes. I see you all. I'm glad I'm not alone.
I keep making the mistake of expecting summers to be as they were when I was a child; all toes dabbling the water while sitting on the dock and picking out cloud animals. On this other end of things — the grown up and parental end — I find that I'm making like a duck with my head calm and my feet paddling a mile a minute under the surface of the water.
This past few weeks I've been blessed to have the opportunity to do a great deal of food-related travel. Here, however, is where the overbooking rears its head.
My friend Ree and I took a year to plan a trip to her ranch in Oklahoma for me to teach a weekend cooking workshop. So far so good, right? What I didn't take into account was the three weeks prior to this trip were filled with various permutations of kids going to summer camp, business travel for my husband, community obligations and ye olde farmers' market.
Then I went and did it properly. I committed to attending a pork tour. Sounds good, right? A trip based on pork? Sign me up!
The only problem was it required flying out the day after I got back from Oklahoma. Even crazier, the flight in from Oklahoma arrived at 9:30 p.m. on Sunday and the trip out to Ohio was at nine o'clock in the morning on Monday with a two hour drive either way to the airport. As they say in Oklahoma, "Yeehah!"
I decided that caffeine would solve my problem. It did, partially. It managed to get me to the airport on Monday morning bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, or at least crazy-eyed and shaky-tailed. Then caffeine failed me.
I looked at my boarding pass for the current flight and the connecting flight while waiting for boarding. My eyes started glazing over. I managed to get onto the flight and glance at the boarding pass long enough to see the number seven. I thought I remembered it being seven "d" and plunked myself down in the seat. I smiled at the lady in the seat next to me and closed my eyes.
Within moments, a man asked if perhaps I was in his seat. He showed a boarding pass that read 7D. I apologized and said, "Oh! I must have remembered incorrectly. I'm 7C." He offered to let me stay where I was and sit in 7C himself. I thanked him profusely and closed my eyes again.
This time it was about one minute before I realized that people were discussing the seating again. I blearily opened my eyes and tried to explain to the woman who was telling the aforementioned man that he was in her seat that he had switched with me. She showed me her 7C boarding pass. I said, "But mine says 7C, too!" My seat mate gently pointed out that my boarding pass was for my connecting flight. Not only was I in the wrong seat, but I was in the wrong row by four whole rows.
My apparent befuddlement coupled with my silly grin defused the situation. Thank heavens the plane was full of patient people. I grabbed my bags and the queue of people backed up four rows to let "that poor, tired woman" back through.
What lesson did I learn from the whole thing? I learned that I shouldn't be let out of the house sleepy and that strangers really can be kind.
I'm on my way home as I type this, just about as sleepy as I was when I left. I'm properly caffeinated for my remaining travel — I hope — and I'm looking forward to getting home and cooking for my loving family. I'll break out some of our favorites for our first meal back together.
Pizza Black Bean Burgers
Pizza Black Bean Burgers are a veggie burger that even meat lovers adore. Slightly spicy and crammed full of all your favorite pizza flavors, they pull together in mere minutes and use ingredients that most everyone has on hand in the pantry. For a fun variation, make them smaller and serve on dinner rolls as sliders.
4 c. (or 2 cans) black beans, drained and rinsed well, then drained again
½ of a green pepper, seeded and roughly chopped
3 T. roughly chopped onions
1-3 cloves of garlic, according to preference, roughly chopped
2 T. pizza sauce
1 c. (or more) plain bread crumbs (*See notes below the instructions)
1 egg
1 t. Italian seasonings
1 t. dried basil (or 1 T. thinly sliced fresh basil)
1¼ t. salt
Canola or peanut oil for frying
Additional pizza sauce, for topping
Grated mozzarella cheese, for topping
Rolls, for serving
Optional: extra virgin olive oil and Italian seasonings to brush on the roll
Add the pepper, onion and garlic cloves to the bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade.
Put the lid in place and pulse, stopping to remove the lid and scrape down the sides of the bowl, until the ingredients are finely chopped.
Add half of the black beans, Italian seasonings, basil, salt and pizza sauce to the food processor and pulse, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary, until the mixture resembles the consistency of guacamole (slightly chunky but a cohesive paste.)
Scrape the bean and vegetable mixture into a mixing bowl and stir in the remaining beans, the egg and bread crumbs.
Test the consistency of the mixture. You should be able to roll the mixture into a ball and flatten into a patty without it sticking to your hands. If you cannot, add one extra tablespoon of bread crumbs at a time, stirring and checking the consistency after each addition until it does what it should. The goal is to add enough that the mixture ceases to be sticky but not so much that it becomes crumbly.
Roll balls of the bean mixture according to the size of the burger you'd like: golf ball size for sliders, peach size for standard burgers, navel orange size for mega-burgers.
Place a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat and pour in enough oil to cover the bottom by about ⅛-inch.
When the oil is shimmering, flatten each ball into a patty that is about ½ to ¾-inch thick and slide it into the oil. Do this with as many patties as you can comfortably fit into the pan without crowding.
Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until deep brown and crunchy on the outside.
Transfer the patties to a paper towel lined platter and top immediately with grated mozzarella.
While the mozzarella melts on the hot patties, prepare the buns. They can be served as is, or brushed lightly with olive oil, sprinkled with Italian seasonings and then toasted quickly in the hot pan you used to fry the patties.
To serve, put one patty on the bottom half of each bun, dollop warm pizza sauce on the melted cheese and add the top half of the bun.
*I found that in each of the batches I made, I needed significantly different amounts of bread crumbs to hold the patties together, but I never needed less than 1 cup.
Peaches and Cream Smoothies
Round out a family meal in effortless style with these Peaches and Cream Smoothies. Bursting with fresh peaches and tangy, thick, creamy Greek yogurt, it's a feast for all the senses and stupendously nutritious to boot.
3 ripe peaches, scrubbed and pitted. You can peel or leave the skin on for added nutritional value.
2 c. plain Greek yogurt
½ c. ice cubes
1 T. honey
1 t. lemon juice
1 t. pure vanilla extract
Optional:A splash of milk to thin the smoothie if you like it less thick.
Add all of the ingredients to a blender, put the lid in place and blend on high until smooth. Serve immediately.

Small Cruise Ships
Overall Rating: 97.1
Built in 2007, the 50-passenger Arethusa, owned and operated by Grand Circle Cruise Line, brings their popular river cruise model to the Mediterranean. Like GC's river trips, much of what makes the Arethusa experience special is the ship's two English-speaking Program Directors—experts in regional history, culture, and art—each of whom leads a group of no more than 25 travelers for the duration of the cruise. Despite its size, the Arethusa offers most of the amenities you'd expect: a topside Sun Deck, a lounge and bar area, and a dining room with panoramic ocean views. The 26 cabins range from 150 to 170 square feet and all have flat-screen TVs, AC, and private bathrooms. Upper deck cabins have floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors and private balconies. Design-wise, the lack of an elevator is the only conspicuous omission, and may pose a problem for those with mobility issues, though the Arethusa has just three decks. Featured itineraries include two-week tours of the Greek Isles (plus Istanbul) and "Hidden Gems" of the Dalmatian coast.

The Jewish Heritage Museum and the Jewish Federation of Western Monmouth County will present the film SIX MILLION AND ONE at the Museum on Sunday, February 17, 2013 at 3:00 PM. Admission is $10.00 per person. The 2011 film is an Israeli, German and Austrian collaboration with Hebrew and English subtitles.
When Joseph Fisher's memoir was discovered after his death his children refused to confront it. Only David, the filmmaker, acknowledged it and it became the compass for a long journey. Join David Fisher and his siblings as they penetrate the dark tunnels of Gusen, part of an Austrian forced labor camp, where their father had slaved during the Holocaust, illuminated only by flashlights. As their deepest pains are exposed they find themselves crying and laughing in bitter sweet scenes that give the film a sense of intimacy.
The Jewish Heritage Museum is located at 310 Mounts Corner Drive (at the rear of Mount's Corner Shopping Center) in Freehold. It is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization and is wheelchair accessible. For more information call the Museum at 732-252-6990 or visit www.jhmomc.org.

Loved the item I was disappointed in the website. It was very difficult to place my order. It was the 2nd time that it happened. All the items I purchased were beautiful but the difficulty of ordering made me go else where for most items. May 13, 2014
Horrible Had I of know they were mailing me stickers, instead of preprinted matchboxes...I WOULD HAVE NEVER BOUGHT THEM!!!! May 10, 2014
Color definitely does not match my selection. I ordered cherry and got some kind of fuchsia. And the only reason I didn't uploaded a picture is because it took forever April 22, 2014
Great favor! These matchbooks are so adorable! They look classy and of high quality. I like them better than the regular mathboxes that you have to rip off the matches. The labels are quick and easy to place, and there are tons of design options for them. And what a great price. I love these! September 5, 2013

The 2012 Kennedy Center Honors, which include acknowledgement of bluesman Buddy Guy, was broadcasted on Dec. 26 on CBS.
Original Post
Buddy Guy didn't have running water or electricity while growing up in rural Louisiana.
The 76-year-old first played a guitar around age 14. He used to try making guitar strings out of screen wire, but the flimsy strands would break when he pressed his fingers on them.
"But I had to figure it out for myself, man," Guy said, in an Aol interview, about his desire to play blues. "The first thing I ever figured out was John Lee Hooker's 'Boogie Chillen.' Wore the needle out on it. Took a straw and put in my teeth and put it down on the record. It would skip but I could still hear that boom boom John Lee Hooker was playing."
Seven years later he hopped on a train to Chicago, with a few dollars in his pocket and his guitar.
"When we learned to play the guitar it was for the love of music," he said. "A lot of young people can learn how to play now for the love money, because there was no such thing as getting paid well playing the guitar and harmonica when I picked up the guitar."
The move started his 60-plus year career in music, carrying traditional blues, spiced along the way with Guy's own growth and progression, to the present day. The journey took him to stages around the world with other famous musicians, like Eric Clapton and the Rolling Stones, listening to him the same way he listened to Hooker as a teen.
Guy still performs at his Buddy Guy's Legends in the South Loop. On his 2010 recording "Living Proof," he proclaimed before a furious, tense and powerful guitar solo that he is "74 years young."
The Kennedy Center Honor is considered the highest recognition for artistic effort in the country, according to the Washington Post. Guy will be honored along with Dustin Hoffman, David Letterman, Led Zeppelin and Russian ballerina Natalia Makarova in this year's ceremony.
"Even if a radio station don't ever play it again, come see me," he said. "I'll play it for you."

Rose Pitonof Centennial Swim
From OpenwaterpediaRose Pitonof Centennial Swim is an marathon swim that requires swimmer to swim from Manhattan to Coney Island in New York. Deanne Draeger founded the marathon swim on 13 August 2011, the 100th anniversary of Rose Pitonof's historic 17-mile swim from East 26th Street on Manhattan Island to the Steeplechase Pier on Coney Island.
Pitonof was known by her title of World's Champion Long Distance Swimmer.
Rose Pitonof
Rose Pitonof Weene (19 April 1895 – 15 June 1984) was a marathon swimmer from Dorchester, Massachusetts.
In 1910 at the age of 15, she won the 8-mile Boston Light Swim in a record time of 6 hours 50 minutes. Seven men started the competition with her, but did not finish. She was the first woman to ever complete the event. After her Boston Light Swim, Rose became a Vaudeville performer. "My act was part of a larger Vaudeville program, but I was the headliner. They built a tank of water on the stage, and I would exhibit some of my strokes and dives."
On August 13, 1911, she swam from East 26th Street to Steeplechase Pier, earning the woman's title of Long Distance Swimming Champion of the World. The distance is 17 miles which she swam mostly breaststroke and ate a chicken sandwich and a cup of coffee. An estimated 50,000 people were reported to have cheered her on at Coney Island.
In 1912 she attempted to swim across the English Channel, but she never got her chance and swam the Thames instead.
In 1913 she made attempts to swim from the Manhattan Battery to Sandy Hook, New Jersey.
Pitonof died on June 15, 1984 at the age of 89.

A former Milford town man has been indicted by an Otsego County grand jury and arrested by deputies for allegedly failing to register as a sexual offender, a media release said.
Francisco Torres, 34, of Luther Street in Oneonta, was charged Friday with two counts of failure to register as a sexual offender, a felony, deputies said.
In February, members of the sheriff's Office of Criminal Investigation Division were conducting random home checks on sexual offenders when it was determined that Torres, a level 2 sexual offender, hasn't been living at 6165 State Highway 7 in Colliersville since December.
Deputies' investigation revealed that Torres had been staying in the Capital district area during the week and at 16 Luther St. in Oneonta on weekends, the release said.
Torres also had lived on state Route 7 in the town of Maryland in 2011 but failed to report that he moved to a county Route 45 residence in the town of Hartwick in December 2011 for a month before moving to Colliersville in January 2012.
Torres surrendered himself at the sheriff's office Friday and was arrested on a sealed indictment warrant.
He was arraigned before Otsego County Court Judge Brian D. Burns and released pending a later court appearance, the release said.
If convicted, Torres faces up to eight years in prison.
