Week 1 is finally in the books! Hard to believe that football is finally back, but we have another 3 months of it so get excited! If you're Fantasy team is like mine and underachieved on Sunday/Monday well you're in luck because now you can pick up players who are free agents in your league along the waiver wires. Depending on how you did this week (and your league) you might not get first dibs on the player you want but if you do, here are a few that you should look at picking up for this next week:
(Photo of my friend passing out at 4pm this past Sunday)
1. Julius Thomas, TE Broncos
Thomas exploded on Thursday against the Ravens and it looks like he could be a prominent target for Peyton Manning all season long. He's a converted basketball player, like Antonio Gates, so his size and speed will help in the future. He had two touchdowns and over 100 yds receiving so this is a solid pick up if your TE looked miserable.
2. Jared Cook, TE Rams
Can't get Thomas? This is the next best thing. Cook will act as a security blanket for Sam Bradford just like he did in the win against the Cardinals all season long. He had two touchdowns and more receiving yards than Thomas, but with Thomas having Manning as his QB and Bradford being somewhat unproven, this will be a solid backup plan.
3. Kellen Winslow, TE Jets
I know what you're thinking: 1) he loves NFL tight ends and 2) why in the HELL would I pick up a Jets player this season? Relax, I'll explain. The Jets are starting Geno Smith for however long and if Mark Sanchez even gets to play then Winslow will be the security for both QB's, just as Cook will be Bradford's blanket. Winslow had seven catches for about 80 yds and a touchdown in the comeback win over Tampa Bay on Sunday.
4. Julian Edelman, WR Patriots
If you're one of the people who didn't get caught up in the hype of Danny Amendola then you're in luck because it looks like he might be getting injured and missing some games at some point in the season. Enter Edelman, who had seven catches for 79 yds and two touchdowns for Tom Brady on Sunday. Oh, and his QB is Brady who seems to make all of his receivers a lot better. This is a good pick up to supplement your team until a star receiver decides to show up (i.e Roddy White or Mike Wallace).
5. Joique Bell, RB Lions
We all got to see what Reggie Bush was capable of in a Lions uniform on Sunday but the best kept secret is the power back that is Bell. He'll be getting goal line carries all season and had two touchdowns as a result of it. Another thing that makes Bell a solid pickup: he can catch out of the backfield, having six catches for 60+yds on Sunday.
If you're team isn't in need then congratulations! But it is only Week 1 so you don't have to make too many roster moves yet. Sometimes you can let a player build and develop on your team. Look at Joe Flacco's post season last year compared to his regular season. Good luck and we'll talk again on Thursday with the very first "Start 'Em/ Sit 'Em" for this week.

Warm Cornmeal Shortcake with Farm Stand Berries
This easy, do-ahead cake is a clear frontrunner for our go-to summer dessert.
Heirloom Apple Tart with Almond Filling and Calvados Cream
Unlike the apple varieties sold in most supermarkets, selected for their ability to store for months, heirloom apples may not be good keepers. But when fresh off the tree, as you will find them at farmers' markets and in CSA shares, they have a perfume and juicy sweetness that few storage apples can match.
Hot Spiced Apple Cider
An old-fashioned winter beverage that never loses its appeal, spiced cider on the kitchen stove will perfume the whole house. To maintain the disappearing autumn ritual of cider production, Red Fire Farm in Granby, Massachusetts, holds a cider pressing day in October. Locals are encouraged to bring their own...
Persimmon-Ginger Smoothie
The heart-shaped Hachiya persimmon is ripe when it is jelly soft. Keep firm ones atroom temperature until they reach that squishy stage, which may take a week ormore. Then halve them and enjoy them for breakfast with a squeeze of lemon or lime, or put them, whole, in the freezer for future smoothies. Persimmons...
Glazed Rutabaga Wedges
These well-browned rutabagas make an ideal companion for a holiday rib roast or a weeknight roast chicken. Their natural sugar will caramelize on the surface as they cook, then melt into a glaze when you add a touch of broth at the end. Rutabagas appreciate a generous hand with the black pepper.
Grilled Tomatoes with Pesto
This recipe yields more pesto than you need for the tomatoes, but why make just a little? You will have enough pesto left over to sauce ¾ pound of pasta the next day, a head start on dinner for four.
Mexican Pork Stew with Tomatillos
You could add hominy, chickpeas, or potatoes to this succulent pork stew, but it's substantial enough without them. The pork is fork-tender, bathed in a highly seasoned tomatillo sauce that is even better the second day.
Hazelnut Hot Chocolate
Who needs peanut butter when there's hazlenut? This rich, chocolate-hazlenut drink is just what the doctor ordered for cold, blustery days.

Share class FX hedging | Deloitte solution
Improving operational efficiency to reach best-in-class hedging performance
The nature of current markets requires institutional investors to be well informed about the potential impacts of the share-class hedging process.
- Currently the number of queries regarding hedging performance from investors is increasing. Therefore it is crucial to clearly identify the sources of the factors impacting hedging performance.
- In addition to using internal resources to identify the best market practices regarding share class hedging processes, an independent view of the market may help to avoid any bias in the analysis.
- A share class hedging Target Operating Model (TOM) might not always be in line with specific business strategies and organizational structures. For example depending on the strategy, the calculation of the hedge ratio or/and the execution of the trades can be performed in-house or delegated.
- The risks in case of miscalculation are critical. An imperfect hedging process can expose an organisation to major financial and reputational risk.
- The ability to control and monitor the potential risks through the appropriate set of indicators is a crucial requirement during this period of high FX market volatility.
- An imperfect hedging process might lead to deviations in the performance of the fund's share classes and increased volatility.
Our approach
Our share class hedging service offer consists of the following steps:
- Review of the best market practices
- Review of the current hedging process in place through the back-testing of the clients' data
- Definition of a new Target Operating Model (TOM) and hedging process
- Development of a dynamic hedging program aimed at reducing the performance deviation and volatility linked to the share class hedging
- Assistance in the implementation of the necessary tools, standard document development and project management practices, working with our client through the different steps of the project.
How can we help?
In addition to reshaping our client's share class hedging process as a whole, we can propose a wide range of services to improve the quality of specific processes:
- Assistance in the definition of a new hedging strategy through:
- The allocation of the responsibilities
- The remodelling of the organizational architecture (TOM).
- Back-testing of the NAV to identify the various sources of performance difference (hedging and accounting) between the share classes
- Comparison of our client's hedging performance with peers or with benchmarks
- Development of an optimization program through a set of identified parameters that will help our clients maximise the risk reduction while minimising the cost of the hedge
- Test of As-If scenarios to assess the level of admissible impacts linked with the hedging thresholds and parameters defined by the optimization program
- Assistance in the implementation of specific KPI/KRI's to monitor and control the hedging process

Charlie Huisking:
A Brother's Loving Memorial
When Sarah Huisking was growing up in Sarasota, some of her happiest times were spent in the late Gothic-style Sarasota High School building facing U.S. 41 near downtown Sarasota. A 1960 graduate of the school, Sarah was in the National Honor Society and on the swim team. But her favorite subject was art, an avocation that enriched her life even during the battle with cancer that she lost in 2008.
When her brother, Charlie Huisking, was looking for an appropriate way to honor Sarah's memory, the answer came to him immediately: a $250,000 commitment to Ringling College of Art and Design to create the Sarah F. Huisking Art Studio. The gift will be fulfilled in part through a fund established by Charlie and Sarah's parents. Fittingly, the studio will be in Sarah's high school building, which Ringling College is transforming into the Visual Arts Educational Center, home of the Sarasota Museum of Art (SMOA).
Charlie describes his sister as an "incredibly generous and caring person." Most of her paintings, which included landscapes and portraits done in oils and water colors, were gifts to others. "In fact, a week before she died, she was in art class working on a painting of my schnauzer," Charlie says. "It's become one of my prized possessions."
"Sarah loved Sarasota High, she cared about historic preservation, and she was an avid painter," says Charlie, a former arts writer for the Sarasota Herald-Tribune.
"As a reporter, I covered Ringling College for years and wrote some of the first stories about its decision to join forces with the Sarasota Museum of Art. So, this project seemed like the perfect memorial."

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"My bride-to-be was very pleased with these invites to her shower. She said they were "perfect"! I love the colors and the design. Received them in the time frame as promised."
"The process was easy and fast. Able to personalize with my info. Customize the color, choose envelopes & submit. Sent for proofing x2 completed overnight.and sent back to me by the next morning. Signed off on the order & received in the mail within 7 days (even a day earlier than I was expecting). I would defnitely recommend. Saved me so much time shopping in stores and printing them out myself."
"This invitation is very sweet and simple. I am grateful to the editor who helped me manage how to fit in all the hostesses and to stilll balance the look. Also, they corrected an error I made for the punctuation on Bloomingdale's where the bride is registered. The only issue I had was that the envelopes were pre-glued on the edges so the card would fit in snuggly. I purchased a pink liner that could not slid into the envelope but within one week Wedding Divas sent me, free of charge, new envelopes that would accept the liner. They do NOT have to be lined, it was my choice to make them more elegant. The quality is nice and I'd shop here again."
"I was very happy with the way this bridal shower invitation turned out. The colors, text, and paper quality was top notch. I was very pleased with how quickly how received these. The reordering very easy, too!!!!"
"I saw mixed reviews and hesitated before ordering. Glad I went through with it. The invite came out great, paper quality is good. The envelopes are a little bigger than the card but that's minor. The actual invite is what matters. It is just like the picture."

We work with The Student Room because of the size of their relevant audience and we are always impressed by their flexibility, creativity and the personalised service we receive from their team.
We used The Student Room as part of our October Open Day promotion campaign. It proved to be our most successful campaign of the year with nearly 40% more unique visitors than other web advertising.
Using The Student Room really helps us at Ernst & Young to interact with students and help them with their applications to our graduate and school leaver programmes. It has proved really effective for our recruitment campaigns, and allows us to speak directly to students about what kind of career they want and how Ernst & Young could help them get there.
TSR proved to be a great platform in terms of raising awareness for Bath Spa University and their Undergraduate courses. As the largest student website in the world, we were able to maximise the reach to their target audience and minimise the time and resource spent on advertising across a number of different websites. I've no doubt we'll work with The Student Room again and I have no hesitation in recommending them.
Our campaign with The Student Room contributed to a 52% increase in our website traffic. During the same period, 7% of all unique visitors to our site were directly referred from TSR. We have been very impressed with the results, as well as the responsiveness and friendliness of TSR's team. We intend to further optimise on our past success, thanks to the constructive feedback provided by The Student Room.

Thanks for that tip! .. I always wondered how that was done!
Thanks for that tip! .. I always wondered how that was done!
Gosh, THANKS for the great info for Photoshop Elements on how to create a Quick Page. So many of us are truly lost in our software, but we love to scrap. This helpful tip is truly appreciated. Sounds simple enough, so I shall attack this method and if successful....I'll be able to share Quick Pages, too! Yeah!!
I have been trying to follow your instructions to make a QP, but am not having very good luck. When I use my magic wand and click on the photo, it does not delete the entire photo. I have to keep going back over all the different colors, etc., to get it to delete the entire space where the photo is. What am I doing wrong?
I would love to help but I dont' know which program you are using. I don't know anything about Elements, but I've just learned how to cut out the photo with everything under it as well, but that's just in PhotoShop CS3 (probably works for some other versions too, but I don't know) ..
Could someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong? I opened the jpg. and went into Layers and picked "new layer from background". But when I click on the photo with the magic wand the only part that gets "marching ants" is exactly where I click. How do you get it to select the whole photo?
If you have a frame around your photo, you might try selecting that; hold down the shift key and select other colored areas all around the photo. Once you've defined an area that surrounds the photo, choose "select inverse", and you will have the whole photo selected. Then you can safely use your eraser tool to get rid of just the photo. You might also just use the lasso tool to select the area of the photo, too. The method you use depends a lot on what's around your photo.

The Holidays @ Highfield Hall
When: Sat Dec 8th
10:00 am - 4:00 pm
Where: Highfield Hall | 56 Highfield Drive | Falmouth
Over the next two weekends, the Highfield Estate, decorated in elegant fashion, will celebrate the holidays with live music, baked pleasantries, kids crafts and stories, and Holiday entertainment for all. Dates and times are, starting today and running through December 9 are Fridays, noon to 7 PM; Saturdays, 10 AM to 4 PM; and Sundays from Noon to 4 PM.
New this year, visitors will have a chance to win a brand new iPad. One complimentary raffle ticket will accompany each paid $5 adult admission, with additional raffle tickets for sale inside. Children, as always, are admitted free of charge. Active duty service men and women, along with their families, are also welcome to visit the mansion at no charge.
Family fun will be in full force on Saturdays and Sundays in the newly created Children's Room on the second floor. Theme-based activities will celebrate Winter Wonderland, Classic Christmas, Holiday Animals, Chanukah, and the Winter Solstice. Stories, music and make-and-take crafts will all be on tap for the family, along with special visits from Santa.
The Story Book Nook will be occupied on December 1 by Lee Drescher and Corinne Possel. On December 8, Amy Sellers, Rosemary Modic and Lauren Banker-Johnson will entertain while Sally Egan and Cleo Zani lead the fun on December 9. And in the "red, white and blue room" right next door, families will have the opportunity to send a note of thanks and holiday cheer to service men and women overseas.
Fridays will feature special adult presentations and holiday-themed demonstrations. Today, florist Anna Holmes presents her favorite in-a-flash decorating ideas and WCAI's Dan Tritle reads from Dylan Thomas' "A Child's Christmas in Wales." Wine and cheese will be served at 5 while Judy Risch plays the piano, and at 6:30, Robert Wyatt will lead the crowd in a sing-along of holiday tunes.
Friday, December 7 features Gail Blakely in the kitchen and Robert Wyatt presenting a brief history of holiday music. Rabbi Elias Lieberman will tell the story of Chanukah. Judy Risch will play piano, followed by Stephanie Miele and Bob Schneider at 5. Once again, Robert Wyatt will wrap things up with his rousing carol sing. Attendance at all presentations is included in the price of admission.
The talent of several local designers will be on display throughout the Hall. Terri Navickas of Brick Kiln Farm and Shelley Baker-Vance of The Salty Mermaid will decorate the outside of Highfield, while Courtney Dunbury of Courtney's Floral Creations, Mary Lavoie of Lawrence Gardens and Anna Holmes from Flowers by Anna have all returned once again to work their magic on the interior rooms. The team from the Floral Department at Roche Bros in Mashpee and Jennifer Chagnon, owner of The Pink Polka Dot, are lending their expertise for the first time. The decorating effort was coordinated by Holidays at Highfield co-chairs Patti Riccardelli and Paula Taylor, both of East Falmouth, with consultation from Sue Hobart.
More musical entertainment throughout the two weekends will be provided by some of the area's most popular musicians including the Falmouth Chamber Players, Stephanie Miele and Bob Schneider, the harp students of Cynthia Gordon O'Neill, Mary Schulkovitz and students, Passacaglia, the Falmouth Academy Cool Jazz Band, Falmouth Fiddlers, the Cape Cod Conservatory Brass Ensemble, Notescape, Norma Perron, the Tuesday Tooters and Tradewinds.
More holiday-related activities will be found at Highfield throughout the month of December. The immensely popular Highfield Hall Holiday Ball on Saturday evening, December 15 from 7 to 11 will sparkle with music from the Marsels and fabulous food from Chef Roland. Tickets to this event of the season are $125 per person and may be purchased on the web or by phone.
Highfield will wrap up the year with its annual holiday concert on Sunday, December 23. Two performances, at 3 and 7 PM, will feature a charming presentation of "A Child's Christmas in Wales" by the Aurea Ensemble. The Ensemble will also perform chamber works of Handel, Vivaldi and Bach. Tickets are $40 for members of Historic Highfield and $45 for non-members. The holiday concert is always a sellout, so early reservations are recommended.
Highfield Hall is an engaging historic property that has been restored and revitalized to serve as a center of cultural and community life in Falmouth. With its unique combination of resources - the mansion, the Highfield estate, and neighboring Beebe Woods - Highfield provides an interactive learning environment for adults, children and families.

Princess Bride! This dress was actually the last on my fave list. I didn't really care for it from the website. But when I put it on.....wow. It is so flowy and beautiful. This IS THE DRESS FOR ME! August 15, 2014
It's The One!! Last night I went to Davids Bridal in Nashua, NH and I thought the dress before this was 'the one'. That one was a size 16W and they said I should be 14 regular, so I tried this dress on that my Davids Bridal employee had picked out for me to try anyways because it was the correct size. We ended up falling in love with this one even more! I would have purchased it right then, but my mom lives in Florida and I wanted to show her the pix online first. I'm going back this Friday to try it on again and make the purchase :) It is very glittery in person and you really just have to try it on. The way that they pin the train up in the back is beautiful, too. I'd post a pic, but they only allow 2 pix. I wore a puffy slip underneath, and that gave me feet more room under the dress. Wedding is 10/5/14! September 24, 2013
Good purchase This was the first dress i tried on and I loved it. Being unconfident in my body it is hard to see myself beautiful in it but my husband loved me in it so I love myself in it for that. September 13, 2013
perfect fairytale princess I thought I already had my dress- but with one of the people in my bridal party I went to look at dresses again this afternoon. Just for fun I expanded the price range of dresses I wanted to try one (before I had been looking for something relatively inexpensive, this dress still isn't that expensive for a wedding dress). I tried it and knew it was absolutely the one. I wanted to look like a fairytale princess and I did. It was just stunning. Everyone else in the shop said how good it looked. If you want the princess look I can't recommend this more highly. (Just read the dozens and dozens of other reviews). September 7, 2013

Completion of Dijon sale to "Chocolaterie de Bourgogne"
Zurich/Switzerland, November 30, 2012 – Barry Callebaut AG, the world's leading manufacturer of high quality cocoa and chocolate products, today completed the sale of its factory and the related business in Dijon (France) to the newly formed "Chocolaterie de Bourgogne," as announced on September 21, 2012. With this, Barry Callebaut concludes the final step to dispose of all its consumer activities and to fully focus on business-to-business, serving industrial food manufacturers, artisans and professional users of chocolate.
As a result of the divestiture, Barry Callebaut reported a one-time loss from discontinued operations of CHF 66.8 million (EUR 55.1 million / USD 72.0 million) in its fiscal year 2011/12. The operational result of the business until completion of the sale as well as final price adjustments will be reported under discontinued operations for the company's fiscal year 2012/13. Barry Callebaut is not expecting a significant additional write-off.
Barry Callebaut:
With annual sales of about CHF 4.8 billion (EUR 4.0 billion / USD 5.2 billion) for fiscal year 2011/12, Zurich-based Barry Callebaut is the world's leading manufacturer of high-quality cocoa and chocolate – from the cocoa bean to the finest chocolate product. Barry Callebaut is present in 30 countries, operates around 45 production facilities and employs a diverse and dedicated workforce of about 6,000 people. Barry Callebaut serves the entire food industry focusing on industrial food manufacturers, artisans and professional users of chocolate (such as chocolatiers, pastry chefs or bakers), the latter with its two global brands Callebaut® and Cacao Barry®. Barry Callebaut is the global leader in cocoa and chocolate innovations and provides a comprehensive range of services in the fields of product development, processing, training and marketing. Cost leadership is another important reason why global as well as local food manufacturers work together with Barry Callebaut. Through its broad range of sustainability initiatives and research activities, the company works with farmers, farmer organizations and other partners to help ensure future supplies of cocoa and improve farmer livelihoods.

George Harrison Doc Snags Two Emmy Awards
Tuesday, September 18, 2012
The Martin Scorsese HBO documentary George Harrison: Living In The Material World snagged two awards at the Creative Arts Emmy Awards ceremony Saturday (September 15th) held at L.A.'s Nokia Theatre. Beatlefan reported that the doc won the prizes for Outstanding Nonfiction Special and Outstanding Directing for Nonfiction Programming.
The ceremony, which is a separate entity from the Primetime Emmys, will air on September 22nd on the Reelz Channel. Check your local listings for stations and times.
Although Harrison was thought to be a bit of a hermit during his post-Beatles years, he explained that nothing could be further from the truth: "I just didn't go places where the press hang out and there was no point doing interviews because there was nothing really to say. That's how I got that Howard Hughes sort of image, because they just thought, 'Oh, well, he never goes out.' They said, 'He never goes out' -- but I go out all the time. I just don't go out and hang out in the nightclubs or wherever the press go."

This fountain I just had for 6 years was a big hit to me when I got it on my birthday. I just went to the basement ti dig it out and found it and tried it and it still works, although I wasn't the one who assembled it but I tried. Then I knew something wasn't right because the arrow that has to be aligned with the one on the base. Apparently, you have to balance the 3 leaves in order for it to work. It comes with legs but in the box picture, it's like if it was just floating there! Well, the important thing is that you just enjoy it! :)

I have this fountain and LOVE it. so pretty and a lovely sound. As some of the other reviewers have mentioned, you have to get it balanced just right and I added some white, round, smooth rocks to assist with the flow as it can run over - nothing a few rocks won't fix. it looks amazing and is worth the extra time it takes to mess with it a bit but once you have, it really looks great!

I have had a few fountains and I love this one! The lighting is just beautiful and the overall design is elegant-- a delightful addition to any tranquil setting. I use it in my Hypnotherapy office and it has a most soothing and peaceful effect on the total ambiance of the room. I've had my Mariposa Fountain for over a year. It's operation is still great, despite our very HARD water! With regular cleaning, this table top fountain will provide many hours of relaxation. Bravo for a great product design at an affordable price. Very good value for the money. Note: make sure things are lined up properly or it will pump water over the rim and you'll have a dry pump! Adjust the petals and even add some pebles or glass bubble rocks to slow down the flow of water. Thanks for reading my review.

The Mariposa fountain is quite nice! It may take a while to get it setup and when you need to clean it but after all that work its a nice gift :)

I have this fountain in my massage therapy studio, and I LOVE it. The illumination is perfect and casts a soothing glow throughout the room and the trickling sound of the water is just loud enough to calm and relax. It was a little tricky at first setting it up without splashing over, but once you get it, it works great. One tip, check the water level every few days to keep the motor noise down. I recommend this fountain to everyone and get compliments daily :)

NEW YORK (AP) - The cost of housing New York City's inmates last year was $167,000 per inmate.
That's according to the Independent Budget Office's first-ever study of the city's jails. More than 12,000 inmates were jailed on an average day.
The IBO says that the average annual cost per inmate covers additional expenses such as staff salaries, fringe benefits, facility maintenance and capital expenditures.
Michael Jacobson, the former president of the Vera Institute of Justice, told the New York Post that those were fixed costs that don't change.
He says the number of inmates was about half of what it was in the early 1990s. The inmate population peaked at 21,000 in 1992.
The study also found that 57% of inmates were black, 33% Hispanic and 7% white.

Julian TreasureAn excellent article, though it would have been nice if the many direct quotes from my book Sound Business, my TED talk on the four effects of sound and the website of The Sound Agency had been credited. It's an exciting time for sound branding globally, and it definitely has come to Africa: like Mr Deutsch, we have a partner in SA (Paul Shafer at Earworm) and we are expecting rapid growth there.
Julian Treasure
Paul ShaferWell said Julian. Audio branding is poised to become an essential part of any clients overall branding strategy, as they start to understand the impact of sound on their brand, how consumers interact with sound, and ultimately, how it affects their bottom line.

A coalition of labor unions and community activists claims that most new jobs in Chicago are going to college-educated white workers, leaving poor African-Americans and Latinos at the tipping point.
Calling themselves the "Grassroots Collaborative," they're pushing for big policy changes at City Hall and in Springfield, including big changes in the Illinois income tax.
Of the five items on the coalition's agenda, their income tax proposal is the one affecting the most people. They would replace Illinois's current flat income tax with one that has higher rates on higher earners. Critics warn such a change could be disastrous for the state's deeply-troubled economy.
Amisha Patel and Nate Ryan work in a small office in the South Loop that is home to the Grassroots Collaborative, but make no mistake: their coalition includes the Chicago Teachers Union and other powerful labor groups such as the Service Employees International Union, and UNITE Here's hotel and restaurant workers. Next Tuesday, they plan to release a study claiming that, since 2002, only a quarter of Chicago's new jobs have gone to residents who already lived in the city, even as some employers got state and local tax breaks.
"If we're going to spend subsidies, let's spend it actually in the neighborhoods that are blighted and are struggling, where that money is supposed to be spent, not in these gleaming skyscrapers downtown," Patel says.
The coalition, in fact, has a plan to raise taxes on the hundreds of thousands who now live and work downtown. A proposed amendment to the Illinois Constitution, co-sponsored by several dozen Democrats in the General Assembly, would make the current flat 5% state income tax graduated, with higher rates for higher earners.
Asked how he defines the rich and who should pay the top rate, Amisha Patel says, "I think it varies. I think it could be someone who makes $150,000; $200,000. I think we really have to look at the numbers."
Critics complain that such tax increases are exactly what Illinois's worst-in-the-Midwest economy does not need.
"They're gonna call it a tax on the rich," Ted Dabrowski of the Illinois Policy Institute says. "They're gonna call it a Fair Tax. But the truth is it's a tax hike and they want to give more money to the politicians in Illinois. They're running this state into the ground. Springfield politicians do not need more taxpayer dollars."
Supporters of a graduated income tax hope it will be on the ballot in November of next year. It would need the approval of a super majority 60 percent of voters.

Today was the last race in the Kalamazoo Area Runners racing series for the 2013 season. The Run for the Son last year is where I set my PR running 20:25. Since then my PR has been set at 19:08. My race times recently have been in the low 20s due to my lack of having a long run and running a hard workout during the week. This has been due to the fact of my busy work schedule, so next year I want to make sure I can get a long run and a hard workout during the week because I would like to run consistent times in the 19 minute range next year.
Anyways back to the race. This year they moved the race to downtown Kalamazoo from Celery Flats in Portage. The Kalamazoo Deacons Conference decided they wanted us to see the work they doing in the community as we ran a 5K race. The race started at Versluis/Dickinson fields. After I got my gear and warmed up, we had a prayer before the race. I also saw hot air balloons in the air before we started. After the prayer, we were off. I ran out with Brandon for about the first half mile and then backed off his pace otherwise I would have worn myself out too fast. At this point I was in fourth place.
Their were a few people out on the course cheering for the runners and walkers as we went by them. The first mile was almost completely straight, but we hit the Kalamazoo River Valley Trail before the end of the first mile and then after a short run on it we were back out on the roads. Brandon was starting to pull out in front of me by about 30 seconds. Around about the half way point of the race a group of three runners passed me, so I fell to seventh overall. I hit the two mile mark and they called out my time at 12:56.
It was going to be tough, but I could still get a time in the low 20s if I could begin to pick up my pace for the last mile. We hit the trail one more time and then we ran back toward the start/finish line tracing the same path back we started out on. I could see I was starting to catch Brandon, but it wasn't going to be enough to get him. However I was able to turn in a 6:30 last mile and came across in 20:06 good enough for seventh overall and second in my age group, so I did a good job picking up my pace.
After I recovered I got a post-race snack of apple cider, Gatorade, fruit snacks, and a Nature Valley bar. Then I collected my medal.
Even though the KAR racing season is over, their are still plenty of other races to run. Next Saturday I run my first cross country race since 2007, a few months after I graduated from high school at Gull Lake. The race is the Open Race at the Portage Invitational.

Graham Nash Says Record Labels Ignored The Digital Revolution
Friday, September 14, 2012
Graham Nash says that musicians predicted the digital revolution long before their record companies recognized it, by which time it was too late. Nash, who's currently out on the road with Crosby, Stills, & Nash, told us that it serves the record companies right for being so slow in understanding and embracing the new technology: "We tried to tell the record companies that this digital revolution was coming and they took no notice of anybody, and so got stuck behind the 8-ball. And record companies, like, the big, y'know, CBS and Warner Brothers and all. . . don't exist anymore. They don't w ant physical product. They want it all to be a digital download."
Crosby, Stills, & Nash tour dates (subject to change):
September 14 - Woodinville, WA - Chateau Ste. Michelle Winery
September 15 - Airway Heights, WA - Northern Quest Casino
September 17 - Arcata, CA - John Van Duzer Theatre

Karen's Q & A
If you could do a shot of Jose Cuervo with anyone -- dead or alive -- who would it be?
My mother, I would love to see her drunk..... just once!
Favorite Sport/Team
I like Football for the Tight Ends
Favorite Movie/Actor
The Movie "300" Love how powerful those Spartan women are!
Go-to karaoke song
"You Outta Know" Alanis Morissette
My first job
Wendy's when I was 16! (Yes, I flipped burgers)
Piercings/Tattoos (How many? Where?)
Just double pierced belly button. Ink Free; I used to volunteer at a nursing home when I was in my teens, seeing ink age 80 years really made me think twice about getting one. Kudos to those that have them! I just couldn't do it
Mac or PC?
Nintendo, Xbox 360, PS3, or don't game?
What fun fact, talent or superpower of yours should guys know about?
I'm intelligent, a great conversationalist and a powerful independent woman
What's the most memorable pick up line you've ever heard?
"I got digital cable today" Sad thing, is I was the one saying it and it worked!
What's the craziest thing you've ever done?
Streaked on the campus green during daylight college hours with my Partner In Crime :)
What's the most unusual place you've ever hooked up? How'd it go?
On the side of a highway during a bikers rally. Needless to say, about 50 bikers came by and gave us the salute!

I can have an amazing romp whenever I want, my toy collection surpasses that of any man!
What is your Axe personality?
If I had to pick one (because the powerful, independent business woman is not there) I'd definitely be the sporty girl. I come from a family of 6 children, 4 brothers, 1 sister, and for some reason, we won the genetic lottery for sports. We always excelled at every sport that we chose, I, myself, setting records for 1 meter diving that still hold today. (Diving was something I taught myself to do on my own too). I do not like losing, and am competitive when it comes to sports. This has most certainly followed me in life. Probably the reason I am so successful as a business woman today. It is true, the greatest aphrodisiac is a victory. Any man that supports me to that victory is a sure keeper!

OAK PARK, Mich. (WJBK) -- She paid her taxes and was anxiously awaiting a huge refund, but after filing with a tax company in Oak Park, she says her refund check was stolen. It appears this woman may not the only one with this problem.
Teshea Wilson wanted to get her tax refund as quickly as possible. The Pontiac woman filed the first week of January, but when she was due to pick up her check, it was nowhere to be found.
"She told me that ... your check's been stolen. It was cashed," said Wilson.
Someone stole her refund check from Instant Tax Service in Oak Park and cashed it in for more than $6,000.
"The person wrote my signature on the check. It was not my signature at all. Right Social Security number, wrong driver's license number," Wilson explained.
It didn't take long for Wilson to realize she wasn't alone. She claims others came in at the same time complaining the same thing happened to them.
"This is not fair for us hard working, single people out here that have kids and responsibilities. We shouldn't have to go through this," Wilson said.
So, if these customers didn't cash their checks, who did? That's what we went to find out, and according to the owner, he believes it was an inside job.
"That's my guess," he said.
"Do you have any idea who it is?" FOX 2's Taryn Asher asked.
"My new staff," he responded. "We suspended all the new staff."
The owner, who reported this to Oak Park Police, said he was aware of at least three stolen checks, and it's probably not a coincidence that all three were cashed at Von's Express on Grand River in Detroit, listed on the checks as Three Sons Enterprise.
By phone, the owner told us his workers make sure to check the person's Social Security number and identification.
Whoever is responsible, that person got away with thousands of dollars in tax refunds, money Wilson said she has been counting on and sadly is still waiting on since Instant Tax Service has yet to make it right.
"That's a bunch of bull. The officer knows, they know it was an inside job. I wasn't the only victim here. They need to be issuing out my money. It's not right," said Wilson.
The owner did tell us that he plans to give Wilson and anybody else affected their money, but he's just waiting for proof from police that this was a case of stolen checks and fraud.

(RNN) - The ACC is sophomoric this season. By that, we mean there are a lot of sophomores. Pretty sure we're using that word right.
Second-year guys really get the short end of the prestige stick in college hoops. People always love the freshmen, and this year's class - Duke's Jabari Parker, Kansas' Andrew Wiggins and a slew of other talented guys - has gotten plenty of attention.
Meanwhile, juniors and seniors get to be upperclassmen. They're thought of as leaders, and they can grow full beards and mustaches.
Sophomore even sounds bad, like, "Hey, you're soft. We want more."
Merriam-Webster states the word originally came from the Greek "sophos," meaning wise, and "moros," or foolish. So "wise fool."
Merriam-Webster is also wrong (it's an alteration of the 17th century word sophumer), but no one cares to fix it. Why would they, it's only sophomores we're talking about, right?
So the PPPollsters took it upon ourselves to call attention to the Class of 2016. We feel it is the crop to watch this season.
Plus, it enables us to avoid the flaming bag of non-conference schedule left on our doorstep for the past seven days. It's the end of the semester, what can ya do?
Paige: 18.8 points, 4.5 assists, 3.3 rebounds, 1.5 steals, 87 percent free throws
Johnson: 13.6 points, 6.9 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 62 percent shooting
Marcus looked timid on offense for much of his first go-round. Now, he has the poise and confidence of a player who knows he's the best on the floor every night. And it's not like UNC hasn't played anyone; they beat the No. 1 and No. 3-ranked teams in the country.
With all due respect to guys like Jabari and C.J. Fair of Syracuse, there is not a player more important to his team right now than Paige.
Coach Roy Williams has also found a low-post scoring machine in Brice. The 6'9" second-year man is equally good scoring when facing the basket or with his back to it, and he has the speed to hang with the little guys when the Heels are running the fast break.
Miller-McIntyre: 17.9 points, 4.4 assists, 3.8 rebounds, 48 percent shooting
Thomas: 11.1 points, 9.8 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 54 percent shooting
Miller-McIntyre's aggressiveness has him scoring more than twice as many points per game as a year ago. He can create his own shot off the dribble, and his passing gets his teammates open looks at the basket, too.
Thomas is a classic big man. He's a rebounding beast, has power and finesse moves in the post and brings intensity to both ends. The sophomore duo, along with senior Travis McKie, give the Demon Deacons a lot of options.
19.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, 58 percent shooting, 54 percent 3-pointers
He's a sophomore in name only, as he sat out a year after transferring from Mississippi State. Hood is impressive not only for his ability to get buckets in bunches but to do it at such an efficient rate from all spots on the floor.
The Devils have come up short in two contests with top-5 teams, but Hood and the other newcomers to the team should learn quickly how to play together. By the end of the season, they could be in the top ecehelon of the ACC and national rankings.
19.9 points, 4.1 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 85 percent free throws
His shooting from long distance hasn't been quite as good as a year ago, but the 2012-13 ACC Freshman of the Year makes up for it by getting shots in the lane and getting to the line. The Eagles' bad start (3-7) has little to do with Hanlan; it comes from a competitive schedule and a porous defense.
If head coach Steve Donahue can find the combination of stoppers to go with his scorers, BC could still turn their season around.
22.6 points, 7.1 rebounds, 1.8 steals, 54 percent shooting
Coming into the year slimmer and ready to work, T.J. has taken the reins of the Wolfpack offense. He's an expert at getting to the right place for a pass or rebound, and he's a natural when it comes to putting the ball in the basket.
13.1 points, 5.9 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 52 percent shooting
Jerami is in a constant state of "controlled frenzy" - always active but rarely out of place. He's the guy to keep watching during a game, as a highlight play may be coming at any time.
Carter: 10.6 points, 9.3 rebounds, 1.3 blocks, 1.2 steals
Georges-Hunt: 13.0 points, 4.7 rebounds, 1.2 steals, 51 percent shooting
These guys have two different skill sets that are equally effective when they get going. Marcus is one of those guys who makes it look so easy to get past defenders, one wonders why he doesn't do it more. Carter can leave an opposing big man looking like his feet are stuck to the floor with his inside offense, but he has a tendency to look for the outside shot instead.
7.9 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.1 blocks, 51 percent shooting
Mike is the first of our buy-low guys - their stats aren't blowing anyone away so far, but expect them to get a whole lot better by season's end.
Tobey has so much skill and size (6'11, 253 pounds) that we figure he'll come around eventually. The only things holding him back are his lack of aggressiveness at times and head coach Tony Bennett's apparent "To Be Determined" strategy on who gets playing time.
4.0 points, 6.6 rebounds 1.8 blocks, 62 percent shooting
Landry's lack of playing time, at less than 21 minutes per game, is mostly self-induced. He has been forced to sit with early foul trouble several times. When he's out there, he shows great timing when blocking shots and creates additional scoring chances with his offensive rebounding.
9.6 points, 5.9 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 0.9 steals
He's 6'7, can handle the rock like a point guard, can bang inside for rebounds and has a decent shooting touch around the basket. With a consistent effort on his part, FSU could end up well above preseason expectations.
4.2 points, 5.7 rebounds, 1.2 blocks, 65 percent shooting
Sure, he gets fewer than 14 minutes per game. And he hasn't been playing basketball long. And, at times, he looks like he only started playing that day.
But when you look like a 7'1, 290-pound Conan (the Barbarian, not O'Brien), that counts for something. He's still a project, but there are few guys on the planet with the kind of raw tools he has.
By Crom, that's one big sophomore.

|Photograph of James Ryan and friend
|Jim standing right with mate, in shirt sleeves and sun helmets.
James Ryan was 6ft tall and looked older which was why he was accepted as a volunteer at just 16 years of age.
He joined the Royal Field Artillery as a Gunner (service no. 1385) and was mobilised on the 4th August 1914 from Southampton to Alexandria. He travelled to Cairo, Ismailia, Kantarah, Albania, Port Said and into Turkey, fighting in Gallipoli and the Dardanelles with the '1st/1st Brigade, Royal Field Artillery, 1/4th East Lancs. Battery, Mediterranean Expeditionary Force' (i.e. 213th Brigade, Royal Field Artillery, 42nd Division). Then eventually back to Alexandria, Cairo, Alexandria, Dardenelles, Cairo, Suez, Moses Well to Cairo. During this period he was hospitalised several times with slight knee injury from splinters from a shell burst, several severe attacks of dysentery and was seriously ill with jaundice which keep him in hospital for several weeks. He sailed to Cyprus to a Hospital in Limassol.
He was sent home to England at some point to his parents and young sister Edna, my mother- who will be 96 years old this July and remembers and still grieves for her brother ˜jim-jim'. A gap here in information, but he returned to action and fought in France and Belgium. He states in the attached letter that there isn't a bullet with his name on, which proved correct when Jim was killed by Mustard Gas on 30th September 1917 at the 3rd battle of Passchendale on the Menin Road (serving with 'B' Battery, 210th Brigade Royal Field Artillery, 42nd Division, as Acting Bombadier, no. 705469), and taken to the Mendingham dressing station. He is buried at the Mendingham cemetery where his headstone shows his age as 22yrs old which is incorrect as he had lied about his age when he volunteered.

Illinois Transportation Secretary Ann Schneider traveled to Will County on Wednesday to make one last push for the $1.3 billion Illiana Expressway.
The 47-mile tollway, which would connect Interstate 55 near Wilmington with Interstate 65 near Lowell, Ind., will create construction jobs, spur economic development and make local roads safer, Schneider told area officials who gathered at a news conference in the parking lot of the Operating Engineers Local 150 Training Center on South Arsenal Road.
Schneider's appearance came two days after her boss, Gov. Pat Quinn, made a similar pitch in Tinley Park to the Chicago Southland Chamber of Commerce. The two officials have spent much of the summer touting the benefits of the highway, which would be the state's first project built through a public-private partnership.
But the fate of the proposed tollway rests with the federally mandated Metropolitan Planning Organization Policy Committee, which is scheduled to vote Thursday afternoon on whether to include the project in the Chicago area's long-range transportation plan.
Without a positive vote, the Illiana could be dead. Earlier this month, the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning, a regional planning agency created by the General Assembly, denied a request to add the Illiana Expressway to the federal funding list. But that vote was advisory.
Schneider made a plea Wednesday for the 19-member MPO committee, which she chairs, to at least give the Illiana a chance to be considered by companies that could bid on being the private partner.
If that happens and the Illiana Expressway is built, the developer would get a 35-year lease and revenue from tolls to pay for construction, operation and maintenance of the road while kicking out an estimated $300 million to $500 million in revenue for other state road projects, Schneider said.
Critics of the plan, including CMAP staff, say the estimated cost to build the highway is too low, economic spinoff would be much less than predicted and toll revenue and long-term job creation would fall short of projections.
But local officials say South Cook and Will counties are due for a major investment that will support the area's growing logistics development, which includes two intermodal centers in Joliet and Elwood that have created the largest inland port in North America. They argue that if private investors don't see the tollway as a good bet, it won't be built.
In recent weeks, the Illiana Expressway debate has turned into a north vs. south issue with northern Cook County and Chicago representatives opposing it, and officials from South Cook and Will counties promoting it as a necessary investment in an area referred to as "Nowhere Land" or "Forgotonia."
But the population is growing in the southern areas, especially Will County, and that cannot be ignored, state Sen. Toi Hutchinson (D-Olympia Fields) said.
"When we drive home, we go somewhere," she said. "And that somewhere is really important to a whole lot of people out here."
State Sen. Pat McGuire (D-Joliet) said south Cook and Will counties suffered two major "economic catastrophes" when many manufacturing plants closed during the late 1970s and early 1980s and the housing bubble burst in 2008.
"Now we're the logistics belt," he said. "So jobs are returning to our county. Investments are returning to our county. ... But our recovery is threatened by (traffic) congestion."
Truck traffic congestion was illustrated Wednesday when semi trucks crashed on Interstate 55 in a construction zone, Channahon Mayor Joe Cook said.
"Since May 1, between Route 6 and Arsenal Road, 57 people have been injured (on I-55), not counting the accident (Wednesday), and there have been three fatalities," Cook said. "It's because (I-55) is congested, and construction makes a dangerous situation even worse."
Some Illiana Expressway opponents have questioned whether truck drivers would use a tollway when they could travel on interstates 55 and 80 for free.
But I-80 near the Indiana border "is gridlock, it's crazy, and it's been that way since I was a kid," Will County Board member Don Moran (D-Romeoville), a business representative for Sheet Metal Workers Local 265, said. "Plus, these trucks are using our county highways, and they're not built for 80,000-pound trucks."
MPO committee member Rich Kwasneski is chairman of the board for the Pace suburban bus agency and executive director of the Joliet Arsenal Development Authority. He plans to vote in favor of the Illiana Expressway.
"Time is money for the trucking industry," he said. "And if they're sitting in traffic with the trucks running, they're not making money."

The Tumi Difference
Add-a-bag system
Quickly and easily add another travel piece or business case using our patented Add-A-Bag hook with secure fastened tab closure that holds in excess of 200 pounds. Also, many Tumi business cases and totes feature a back sleeve that slips over extended luggage handles allowing you to stack and carry heavier bags on your wheeled luggage. Used together, these features allow travelers to effortlessly carry two or three items at the same time with one hand.
Tumi Tracer®
The Tumi Tracer® is an exclusive, complimentary program that helps reunite Tumi customers with their lost or stolen items. The core of the program is a unique 20-digit individual product number printed on a special metal plate that is permanently affixed to Tumi products. That number, along with the owners contact information, is entered into our Tracer database when a bag is registered with us, and used to help aid in the recovery of lost or stolen items that are reported to us.
This item has a pocket or compartment that is designed to hold eReaders including the iPad, Kindle and Nook.
