Games on PlayStation 4
PlayStation 4 is a console that is inspired by developers and focused on gamers. The powerful architecture has been built to allow all gaming possibilities to take shape, allowing the best developers in the world to build their games without limits meaning you can play without limits, too.
And you can start playing straight away thanks to PlayGo, you can begin playing your games while they're still downloading. PlayGo will download a portion of the game to get you started and install the rest while you're playing and even let you choose to download single-player or multiplayer first. And the new Suspend Mode keeps the system running at a low power level so you can jump straight back where you left off!
PlayStation 4 will be home to a wealth of some of the biggest and best names in gaming. From PlayStation exclusive titles to the most popular multi-platform franchises, the games on PlayStation 4 will push the boundaries in graphics, gameplay and interaction for years to come.
There will be no restrictions on playing preowned games on PlayStation 4, and you will continue to be able to loan and trade your games, and to buy them preowned, letting you continue to play on PlayStation 4 just as you have throughout PlayStation's history.

Remote play on PlayStation 4
PlayStation 4 offers Remote Play through PlayStation Vita, making it the ultimate companion device.
Almost every PlayStation 4 title has been built to be played remotely on PS Vita over a local Wi-Fi connection only games that specifically require a special peripheral like the PS4 Camera or PS Move controller won't have this function.
This means that you can keep playing your PS4 games directly through your PS Vita, so if someone else in your household wants to watch TV, you can keep playing! And because the PS4 is doing all the processing work, you won't notice any drop in the quality of gameplay or graphics, meaning you will still get the same console experience on your handheld - although the screen will be smaller, of course! On top of all this, many games will allow your PS Vita to be used as a second controller!
What's new with PlayStation Network and PlayStation PlusBack to top
PlayStation Network and the PlayStation 4
The PlayStation Network will continue to offer a wealth of online content, with many features carrying over from the existing PSN model experienced on PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita.
You will continue to use the same PSN account, including your username and avatar, and you'll still maintain the same control over who sees your personal details. However, there are some big changes on PlayStation 4. The Xcross Media Bar will become the PlayStation Dynamic Menu, with a customisable layout that will let you manage your downloads, show you what your friends are doing and even learn your likes and dislikes. Plus, you'll now be able to have up to 2000 friends, and Party Chat will enable you to, well, chat to multiple friends at once, even if you're not playing the same games.
The biggest change for PSN on PS4 is that a PlayStation Plus subscription will now be required to play games online. However, this is the only feature that will now require a subscription - streaming TV and movies, party chat, and playing Free-to-Play games online will still remain free.
PlayStation Network will also allow you to access your online account on any PS4. So even if you're not at home, you can log in to any PlayStation 4 and download any games you have purchases from the PlayStation Store and play them wherever you are and there's no limit on the number of systems you can use, letting you play on your account almost everywhere you go!
You'll still be able to continue enjoying a host of entertainment services, too, from on-demand TV services like Netflix, to social media like Facebook and YouTube, and much more. Look out for exclusive, original content with programming from SONY Pictures Entertainment, while new streaming services Music Unlimited and Movies Unlimited will also be available at launch.

Morning rush hour traffic was exacerbated Wednesday after several crashes on two South Side expressways.
All lanes have reopened on the inbound Dan Ryan Expressway after one person was killed and three others injured in a pin-in crash Wednesday morning.
The crash involving a semi truck and three cars occurred shortly after 5 a.m. near 85th Street, and lanes were reopened at 10:12 a.m., authorities said.
Three people were taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital and another to Comer Children's Hospital after the crash, according to Fire Media Affairs.
One of the victims, a female, later died, according to the Cook County Medical Examiner's office, although no further details were available Wednesday morning.
Illinois State Police, who are investigating, said the circumstances surrounding the crash were still unknown as of late Wednesday morning.
The northbound lanes of Interstate 57 were closed on the South Side early Wednesday as crews worked to remove the wreckage of a semi-truck that crashed and burst into flames.
The jack-knifed truck was first reported about 2:25 a.m. near Wentworth Avenue, according to Illinois State Police. All northbound lanes were closed at Wentworth as of 3 a.m., but by 4:40 a.m., traffic was getting by while crews continued the clean-up.
All the northbound lanes of I-57 were reopened as of 8 a.m., police said.
No other vehicles were involved in the crash, police said.
The driver of the truck was taken to John H. Stroger Hospital of Cook County, their injuries were not considered life-threatening, police said.
Illinois State Police were investigating.
Other overnight accidents were reported in the northbound lanes of the Dan Ryan at 43rd, 47th and 63rd streets.

Graduate Studies in English
The graduate program at UWM has earned a national reputation because of its commitment to exploring innovative alternatives in English studies. Through its structure of concentrations and course offerings, the Department promotes original approaches to a broad range of topics in literature, language, writing, and visual culture. Students must select one of six concentrations, also called plans, each of which encompasses many areas of interest:
- Literature and Cultural Theory
- Rhetoric and Composition
- Creative Writing
- Modern Studies
- Professional Writing
- Media, Cinema and Digital Studies
NOTE: Modern Studies is no longer accepting applications. Students interested in Critical Theory, Literary Theory and Cultural StudiesCultural Studies, please look at the Literature and Cultural Theory program. Students interested in Media Theory, Film Studies, Digital Studies and Popular Culture, please look at the Media, Cinema and Digital Studies program. Additionally, Linguistics (including TESOL), which used to be Plan D within the English Graduate Program, is now a separate department.
The concentrations provide a foundation for the student's study plans. Many students take courses in more than one concentration, and many faculty are affiliated with several concentrations. Students may also pursue a Special Emphasis (akin to a minor) in Rhetoric and Composition or Professional Writing. In addition to its degree programs, the Department also offers Graduate Certificates in
Students are encouraged to investigate various theoretical perspectives in depth and to research new or previously marginalized fields. A strong emphasis on pedagogical theory and practice is closely interwoven with every area of the program's intellectual research and creative activity. Through close collaboration with UWM's Center for 21st Century Studies, students have the opportunity to hear and meet leading scholars and critics. Graduate students may work on The Cream City Review, the Department's nationally recognized literary magazine, which recently celebrated its 25th anniversary.
The Department continues to recruit an outstanding faculty of scholars and writers, leading to the recent high rankings given the graduate program by the National Research Council and US News and World Report. Students come from the community, from across the nation, and from abroad. Quite a few have degrees in disciplines other than English or have valuable non-academic experience. We encourage interdisciplinary studies, and the Department of English Graduate Faculty includes members from other departments. Recent graduates have fared well in a difficult job market.
MA/MLIS Coordinated Degree Program
In cooperation with the School of Information Studies, the Department of English offers the Master of Arts/Master of Library Information Science (MA/MLIS) coordinated degree program to prepare students for positions as humanities librarians. Students enrolled in this program concurrently pursue an MA degree in English and an MLIS degree. Admission to the MA/MLIS degree is contingent upon acceptance to graduate studies by the Department of English and the School of Information Studies. Therefore, students must apply to both programs as well as to the Graduate School. Prerequisite to the award of either degree in this program is the simultaneous award of its counterpart degree.
Students interested in the MA/MLIS program are required to choose one of five study concentrations in the Department of English graduate studies program. Those concentrations are:
- Literature and Cultural Theory,
- Rhetoric and Composition,
- Creative Writing,
- Professional Writing, or
- Media, Cinema and Digital Studies.
In addition, students are expected to follow all the requirements and standards of the Department of English with one exception: the MA portion of the MA/MLIS degree requires the successful completion of at least 21 credits as opposed to the 30 credit requirement of the standard MA program offered by the Department of English.
Students will indicate their choice of the MA/MLIS degree on the Graduate School admissions application as well as on the application to the Department of English. Study concentration selection must also be indicated on the Department of English admissions application. Check the Admissions page for application deadlines.
For information on applying to the Master of Library Information Science program, visit the School of Information Studies web site.

Kragthorpe: Tourney celebrates Larry H. Miller's love of softball
By Kurt Kragthorpe
Tribune ColumnistFirst published Jul 10 2013 08:45AM
There's a reason the number 9 is displayed on the banner honoring former Jazz owner Larry H. Miller in the rafters of EnergySolutions Arena. The same number adorns his locker in a corner of the room where the players dress.
It has nothing — or everything — to do with basketball. Long before the Jazz came into his life, Miller was obsessed with softball. And to understand Miller's competitiveness and how that translates in a meaningful way to this upcoming Jazz season, you have to know his softball background.
After an 11-year absence, the revival of a formerly world-class event will celebrate Miller's passion for the game. The 2013 Larry H. Miller Memorial Pioneer Days Men's Fastpitch Tournament will be staged Friday through Sunday at the softball complex on 13th East that now bears his name.
Ken Hackmeister, a longtime softball administrator and former Miller Toyota player, brought back the tournament he directed for 28 years. The event is a tribute to Miller, who pitched successfully and sponsored elite-level teams for much of his life.
"He championed fastpitch softball, to the max," said Marc Amicone, a former teammate who's now the general manager of the Salt Lake Bees pro baseball team that Miller owned.
An entire chapter of Miller's autobiography is devoted to softball. The players from California, Idaho and Colorado competing against three Salt Lake City teams this weekend can relate to the stories of how Miller would pile his family into the car and drive to tournaments, and how he once pitched nine games in less than 24 hours, winning seven of them and being named the tournament MVP in Pueblo, Colo.
"My arm was a limp rag hanging at my side at the end of that last night," Miller wrote in "Driven." And then he went back to work Monday at the auto dealership that employed him in Denver.
Softball was "a great outlet for my emotional and competitive nature," Miller wrote. "I was intense, as I was everything in did."
Oh, yeah. "Extremely competitive," Amicone said. "He had your back no matter what, if he was your teammate. He once told me that whatever he was involved in, he wanted to compete at the highest possible level, in sports or business or whatever it was."
Miller played aggressively, no surprise there. "If he needed to knock you down as a pitcher, he would knock you down — that was never a problem," said Amicone, who played with him on the Engh Floral team when Miller moved back to Salt Lake City in 1979. He later sponsored the Miller Toyota club that would compete favorably in national and world tournaments.
As a player, Miller was known as a classic bench jockey, with a knack for jabbing opponents. That tendency got him into occasional trouble as a Jazz owner, sitting on the front row.
So it would hardly be an exaggeration to say that every aspect of Miller's personality stemmed from the diamond. This guy absolutely loved to compete.
Which brings us to the Jazz's approaching season. If the franchise's outlook is oriented to the future, with a series of creative, big-picture moves being made this summer, you just know that Miller never would allow 2013-14 to become any kind of lost season for the Jazz.
He would make the judgment of the team all about improvement and effort, as the plaque at the locker-room entrance reminds the players of his expectations when they take the floor at ESA.
That level of commitment will be in play among the traveling teams this weekend at the Larry H. Miller Softball Complex, where it's easy to picture No. 9 in the pitching circle, delivering another riseball for a strike.

Is Frank Ready For Sam's Secert
"Okay what is it?"
"Will you promise not to leave me because of my past?" I asked
"Yeah I love you so much and I know all about you past unless there's something your not telling me."
"Okay, good Then yes I will marry you." And with that I was going to marry the love of my life I was so excited.
"Sam is there something about your past that you're not telling me?" He asked and my heart sunk into my stomach I had to tell him the truth.
"Yes" I said ever so softly into his chest which I had buried my head into.
"Sam please tell me, I want to know everything good or bad about you I love you so much" Frank said as he held me and we sat down on the couch.
"You really want to know don't you. I have to warn you, you're not going to like it"
"It's ok tell me I'm here for you" he sigh in fear of I was cheating on him or something.
"Alright.............." I stopped and sighed and looked him in the eye "Please don't do anything stupid after I tell you......When I was 12..........my dad started drinking a lot........and..........he started getting angry at everything I did .......................and when I was like 12 and a half he started hitting me a lot........it lasted till I left with you on tour and stuff with you and your band" I looked at him and I started to cry slowly I could see he was getting angry I saw it in his eyes.
"So all those days you would come to school and tell me you fell or something it was actually your dad that did it to you?" He said playing with a string on my pants.
"When was the last time? Why did he do it the lasted time?" he asked still playing with the string.
"Remember when we first meet and I spent the night at Lisa's house with you and I got that phone call...." I stopped to see him shake his head yes "Well it was my dad telling me when I get home I was in for it and he hit me so bad that I could not get out of bed and stayed home for 3 days"
"Did you start cutting because of him?" He looked at me and I saw so much rage in his eyes I was scared he was going to do something stupid.
"Yeah that's when I started"
He looked at me and all of a sudden he got up "Where are you going?" I asked in fear knowing in the back of my mind that my mom and dad live really close by.
He looked at me with tears in his eyes and I started to cry.
"WHERE ARE YOU GOING COMEBACK HERE YOU SAID YOU WOULD NEVER LEAVE!" I yelled at him as he walked out the door.
I quickly grabbed my phone and started calling him it rang and rang I hung up and called back and he turn his phone off. 'Fuck' I said with tears running out of my eyes I called the only person I knew who could help me Gerard.

(Reuters) - General Electric Co
Financial terms were not released. Reuters reported last week that a deal for Wayne would likely value the unit at between $500 million and $600 million, according to sources.
Austin, Texas-based Wayne was part of Dresser Inc, the energy infrastructure company that GE bought in 2010 for $3 billion. Wayne manufactures fuel dispensers for petroleum retailers and commercial fleets as well as compressed natural gas fueling pumps.
Riverstone previously owned a "significant" stake in Wayne through its investment in Dresser, according to a release posted on the energy-and-power investment firm's website.
GE said last month it was planning to divest $4 billion worth of its industrial businesses this year.

Welcome to the Dept. of Agricultural,
Food, and Resource Economics
The Department of Agricultural, Food, and Resource Economics (DAFRE) was created in 1914. Since then, its mission has evolved as the needs of society have changed. The department's mission is to:
Support society's agricultural, agribusiness, food, environmental, and natural resource needs for economic analysis through an integrated program of teaching, research, and outreach activities designed to improve the quality of public and private decisions.
Our mission reflects and supports the missions of the land-grant university system; Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey; the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences; and the New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station.
In 2014, the Department of Agricultural, Food, and Resource Economics (DAFRE) will celebrate its 100th anniversary. This teaching and research department was founded in 1914 as the farm management division within the Rutgers Department of Agronomy. In 1923, farm management left the agronomy department to become a freestanding Department of Agricultural Economics. Its current name, adopted in 1999, reflects a research and teaching mission that extends beyond the department's origins in production agriculture.
To commemorate its centennial, the Department will hold a reception and dinner at the Cook Campus Center on the evening of November 6, 2014. The department is also planning a seminar on agricultural economics at Rutgers that afternoon. If you would care to add and/or update your information below for our alumni records, or would like to be notified when registration opens, please visit:
Also, check back here, the department's homepage, or visit our department's Facebook site for updates on this event.
All alumni, former faculty, staff, and friends are encouraged to come celebrate with us on November 6th.

Nvidia's GeForce Experience is now open to all, green-hued gamers rejoice
If you've got an Nvidia graphics card then get over to their website now and download the open beta for the GeForce Experience. It's been in closed beta since before Christmas and now Nvidia has now opened it up so that anyone can have a go.
I've been playing with the GeForce Experience on my rigs for a few months and I think it's an excellent, unobtrusive bit of software.
The more of us that get on the beta, the more accurate the results are going to be, so get on there, test the optimal settings and report back your findings. There's a feedback button built into the client and it's comments-based so you can go into full detail about how you find the service and what you think needs to be changed.
Up until now the optimal settings have been based on what Nvidia's experts reckon to be the best fit for your hardware, but the real test is what you guys think needs to be the ultimate PC gaming experience.
Do you want frame rates prioritised? Do you want native resolution to be the most important? Is is all about anti-aliasing for you?
Even if you're a hardcore PC gamer there's a good chance that GFE has something to teach you. You may still enjoy tweaking your settings, so they're exactly how you want them, but GFE will give you a great starting point to move forward from.
The software is also good at teaching you what the different in-game graphics settings mean, using highlighted screenshots to show you what different options mean for specific games.
To get the optimised settings stuff though you'll need an Nvidia card from the last two generations, so any GeForce card from the 400 series upwards.
I genuinely think this is an incredible bit of software and important for PC gaming moving forward.
As PC gaming moves ever more into mainstream consciousness (last week I had Rupert Murdoch's representatives and other mainstream press breathing down my neck asking what this PC gaming thing was...) I think it's important to have software that simplifies the increasingly complex graphics options without ever taking away choice for the enthusiast.
Granted most of us are pretty clued-up on our games and hardware, but there's a good percentage of people playing games on PC that might not ever delve into the options screen; there's folk still playing CoD on the low-res settings it boots with. These people are PC gamers too, and if we can help them get the most out of their gaming experience that can only be a good thing.

Solving gun violence in the US in today's insane political climate requires a solution that makes it painless for everyone.
First that this idea even needs to be broached in the first place is ridiculous especially given the lack of clarity in the second amendment (eg it does not specify types of arms so that should be handled by laws not as a "do what you will free for all").
That said it seems there are some major elements that would be necessary to reduce gun deaths in the US and there are some obfuscating interests embodied in the NRA that must be sidestepped or accommodated in the solution.
Four main areas of focus jump out to reduce gun deaths:
1) "mass killings" (included in this would be the 2 or 3 person shootings as well as as Newtown or Aurora types)
2) Accidental shootings
3) Non-owner shootings (eg the shooter is not the owner of the gun)
4) "black market" trading
Added to these I would say the parameter that makes gun control legislation difficult is gun manufacturer revenue stream protection using the second amendment as a shill.
So what are the necessary parameters to make something happen vs. the absurdity of what is going to happen over the next few months in Washington:
1) Figure out a way that shifting policy creates more revenue for gun manufacturers so they get the NRA on board
2) Make sure that guns cannot be used in public places or by someone other than their owner
The Idea - Mandatory gun locks and universal kill switches.
On locks, all responsible gun owners have gun safes. Why not move the lock to the gun's trigger mechanism either with a combination code or biometric locks. That would prevent unauthorized use of the gun by anyone but the owner.
On kill switches, in the same locking mechanism put a chip and actuator that freezes the locking mechanism mentioned above when it receives a certain modulated radio signal.
If mandatory then all existing guns will have to be refitted with the new bolt mechanism creating revenue streams for the gun manufacturers and on all new guns they can charge more creating more revenue.

Feb 2 2013: Ben: I'm trying to visualize just how your plan might work. You would have to have bureaucratic police organizations keep track of a lot of gun transactions, personality files, etc. But that would only deal with new guns, with a paper trail, which are unlikely to be criminally used anyway. Or official transfers of old guns. Naturally , the criminals would adapt, just as they did to the Drug War. They would, of course, be transferring guns "off the books", stealing them for black market sales. If necessary, they could manufacture them. We have far too many unemployed former machinists , with plenty of raw material, for this to be prevented. Then there is the whole very lucrative process of buying truckload lots overseas, and smuggling them here , at a great profit. Of course, we could set up a sort of Gestapo to try to prevent this, but it would not only be very expensive, ambiguously "useful", and create vast social unrest. Have you noticed how spectacularly unsuccessful the "Drug War" has been? We have spent a trillion dollars on it over the years, and no one can show that it has had ANY positive benefits at all, to outweigh the devastating damage to our society it has caused. All this to try to prevent "gun deaths", many of which are suicides, or drug gang executions. It doesn't sound like a very good deal to me.

The Villa Montana is a well-maintained, low-key property in the northwest corner of Puerto Rico. The rooms and villas are somewhat sparsely decorated, but decidedly nice with flat-screen TVs, iPod docks, comfortable bedding and large patios or balconies. There's plenty of surrounding nature, attractive outdoor pools, and a gorgeous secluded private beach on this 30-acre property. Just keep in mind that while there's plenty of nearby outdoor activity, there is very little to do in the area at night.
This Courtyard by Marriott is a converted military hospital just a short drive from the airport in Aguadilla. Aguadilla is known for its excellent surfing beaches, but there are few hotels here, and the Courtyard by Marriott is about a 10-minute drive away from the closest stretch of sand. But the rooms are large, with contemporary decor and flat-screen TVs; the kiddie pool has a fun play structure with slides; and there's an on-site casino. For those set on staying in this area, it's a decent choice for the money.

World AIDS Day in Malawi a Huge Success
On the December 1, 2008, The Hunger Project-Malawi joined the rest of the world in commemorating this year's World AIDS Day. The theme for this year remained the same as the year before: "Stop AIDS, Keep the Promise" with emphasis on leadership to lead, empower and deliver.
This year, The Hunger Project-Malawi participated at the district level in the Ntcheu District at the Champiti Epicenter. The choice of the site was made by the District Local Assembly. The Hunger Project, together with Banja La Mtsogolo (BLM) and many other different government departments, were in the forefront of organizing the event together with the Champiti community.
The World Aids Day Commemoration was marked by exhibitions from different participating groups from community-based organizations, BLM and The Hunger Project's HIV/AIDS animators, who performed dramas, songs, poems and talks. The performances presented important messages on ARV treatments, Voluntary Counseling and Training, Home-Based Care (HBC) programs, stigma and discrimination, the role of Post Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP) and on seeking legal redress in the face of abuse. A group of youth also gave a touching performance on HIV prevention through abstinence. Afterward, two PLWHIV (one man and one woman) provided testimonies on positive living. During the presentations, BLM and The Hunger Project mounted exhibition stands displaying their activities.
Voluntary Counseling and Training (VCT) was also provided in the epicenter clinic on the day in collaboration with the DHO Ntcheu.
Representatives from BLM and The Hunger Project made speeches on their commitment in the fight against the pandemic. Community leaders from Champiti, as the guests of honor, made a speech on the role of leadership in the fight against HIV/AIDS.
The event was made possible through the financial support of Oxfam Novib (Netherlands), EBF and The Hunger Project.

Inagural Class of Radeke State by Thing Maker - almost 2 years ago
"Every Fall and Winter my cousins, friends, and myself head on up to a US Forest Service cabin in the White Mountains of New Hampshire...the Radeke Cabin. The cabin has four walls, no running water, no electricity...just a wood stove, plenty of wood, and mice. I had these shirts made up to to highlight our trips up there...and to emulate a University t-shirt. Radeke State...Kancamagus Campus (after the Kancamagus 'Highway'). On the crest of our shirt is a mouse, a mouse trap, and a cabin. The folks at CustomInk were absolutely awesome in ordering the shirts...to include the phone call I received about the design. After an explanation from myself the fella on the other end broke into laughter. The shirts were a hit with all the guys...to include the one we presented to 'Ranger Rob' from the USFS for all he's done for us when we visit the cabin each year! CustomInk? Keep up the good work!!"

It's Time to Tell the Kids: If You Don't Do Well in High School, You Won't Do Well in College (or on the Job)
By James E. Rosenbaum
With open admissions institutions, virtually anyone can go to college, and the vast majority of high school seniors intend to. But about half who go never earn a degree; 52 percent of those with C averages or lower in high school do not earn even one college credit. The facts are clear: High school preparation predicts college graduation. It's our job to make sure students know this.

The Best Way to Keep Lemons Fresh for a Whole Month
Tips from The Kitchn
Lemons are an ideal way to perk up early spring cuisine; from salads to fish and desserts, they are an easy flavor booster to keep on hand. However, I always end up planning a meal around my last lemon, only to find out it has become hard and yields as much juice as a potato. Then I discovered this simple tip for making sure you get every last drop out of your lemons.
Lemons look great just sitting in a bowl on the counter, so that's where they usually live in my kitchen. Well, it turns out, that's about the worst way to store them (go figure!). Cook's Illustrated tested several ways of storing lemons and also discovered that those lovely rinds don't protect the fruit from drying out very well. Cook's tested storing lemons at room temperature and in standard refrigerator conditions. In the refrigerator, they also tested sealing the lemons in plastic bags, with and without water.
The results? The lemons stored in room temperature conditions only lasted a week before hardening. But the ones they sealed in plastic bags in the refrigerator? Those lasted FOUR times as long. A month versus a week on the countertop! The lemons stored loose in the refrigerator didn't fare quite as well, but were still an improvement over the room temperature examples.
And the article makes a point that the lemons should be sealed in a plastic bag and not just shoved in a drawer in their flimsy, open supermarket produce bags.
→ Read more: Preserving Lemons at Cook's Illustrated
So I gave it a try, sealing my lemons in plastic bags. Sure enough — it works!
Longer-lasting lemons mean that I can count on them for meals, right down to their last drop. I miss having their scent and beauty on the countertop, but unless I'm going to use them quickly, they go in the fridge.
Do you refrigerate your lemons sealed in plastic bags? Or have you found another way to keep citrus fresh?

I've always kept mine out, because they're so pretty. I usually do use them within a week, but this is a great tip!
I always keep my lemons in the fridge. I usually cut them up and put them in a container for easy lemon water. During the hot months, I cut them up and freeze them. It's like a lemon ice cube! So refreshing and last forever. You can also do it with orange slices. Yummy!
Wonderful tip! Thanks.
I wonder if this is true with most citrus fruits?
Great tip! The fruit off of my meyer lemon tree is slowly starting to dwindle so this is good to know!
This is great info to know.
Though I have another solution which works from me when I'm not too lazy: when I have several lemons, I zest them all in one go and keep it in a plastic container the freezer. I also freeze the juice in ice cube trays. That way I always have lemon juice and zest on hand.
I tried this tip (I'm a Cook's subscriber) and found that moisture tended to accumulate in the sealed bag which seemed to lead to faster deterioration. I then tried placing a paper towel inside to absorb the moisture, but it didn't do enough. Eventually I just gave up and put the loose lemons into my crisper drawer! They may not last a whole month, but pretty darn close!
I don't have a comment on the lemons but the colander in the photo. That is my perfect colander, I have been searching for, with little ball feet. What brand and where can I acquire it?
Boy, I really needed to read this! By far, lemons have got to be the most disgusting smelling rotting food on the planet. A few times I've forgotten them in the fridge and you can smell them as soon as you enter the house. My husband would prefer I never buy them again because this keeps happening.
I refrigerate lemons in a bowl (no sealed bag) and I find they last even longer than a month. I just used up some limes I bought way too many of at thanksgiving; they weren't very pretty (you couldn't use the rind), but I was able to juice them just fine.
I keep all citrus in my crisper drawer (humidity set to low.)
who knew the sheer laziness of me tossing the plastic bag of them straight form the store in the fridge was actually doing some good! I've always kept lemons this way and mine last seemingly forever in the fridge.
I put lemons and/or limes in a small ceramic bowl in the fridge and according to when/how I use them that bowl is placed in the crisper or on the shelf and I've had amazing results - they keep well and sometimes I forget about them and I find them in good condition - but I think it all depends where you get your fruit? I don't buy pre-bagged anything and I prefer farmer's market or meat/product markets where items are much fresher and handled less
I usually refrigerate my lemons, but in the flimsy grocery store plastic bags. I guess I'll have to try this method to make them last a little longer!
I'm kind of scratching my head at the Cook's tip... here's what I do, I have a lemon tree in my garden and regularly harvest bushels, I keep them a few ways:
* a compote full of lemons at the ready on the counter
* lemons I want to keep whole, for an extended period, I dip into very hot water (120 to 125F) to kill any surface mold. I then put them in a bowl of fresh water, submerged completely by using a plate and any sort of weight to keep them submerged in the water, in the fridge. Changing the water daily, or every other day seems to be enough for me, I can keep fresh lemons in the fridge for up to two months (my sister repeats this method in her snowy climate and I send her boxes of fresh lemons each Winter to get her through until Spring). I take the 'old' water, from the bowl, and use it to water indoor houseplants so that water isn't wasted.
* I juice lemons and freeze the juice in ice cube trays. Since I use lemon juice & zest in some of my baking about half of the cubes are a combination of juice & zest.
I've actually just thrown whole lemons in the freezer when they are on the verge of going bad. I pop them in the microwave for 30 seconds or so when I am ready to use them.
I keep a bowl of lemons out both because we use them often and they look good. Occasionally we don't use them quickly enough and they start to turn. Our solution? Cocktails! Or, I juice them and keep it ready in the 'fridge. For cocktails...
I store them in the fridge in a cloth bag. Maybe they don't last forever, but they do last longer than on the counter. Like others, I will juice a lot of lemons and freeze the juice and zest for later.
The colander looks a lot like this one at k-mart
I'd honestly rather deal with hard lemons than use plastic bags. At least if the lemons go bad you can compost them.
and i just bought 3 lemons too.
Just a reminder that stuff like lemons don't really need to go in their own plastic bag at the grocery store. The rind will protect the fruit from other stuff in your grocery cart/bags. Cutting down on those plastic produce bags is a really easy way to "go green".
Awesome! An issue I've just recently been dealing with - thanks for the answer!!
Daniele M: I had the same problem with moisture accumulating in the sealed bag but solved that with a tip I read on another site: chill the lemons first, just in a bowl in the fridge, then put them in a zip loc. Nowhere near the moisture you'd get putting them in the plastic bag at room temperature. Dunno why but it makes all the difference!
I have decovered by accident that, since I've put lemons into an apothocary type jar (not tight fitting lid) on the counter out of direct sunlight, the lemons have stayed for months.. I know it sounds nuts, but I've been just letting them go & then I'll try one occaionally, to find it's not dried out & prefectly juicey. I'm pretty amazed by this..
Hmm, interesting. I've always stored mine in the fridge, either in a drawer or just out on a shelf, but never in bags. They seem to keep awhile--at least 2-3 weeks I'd say, although usually I use them up sooner anyway. I don't find my lemons get hard/dried out (unless I've zested them); if I do have problems, it's just the opposite, they get moldy and/or soft and mushy. So I'd think the plastic bag approach would just aggravate that...
Oh this is great to know. I usually keep mine out but they've been going bad within a week lately and I can't seem to use them all up.
This is a great tip. I have wasted so any lemons in the past that I am reluctant to buy them any more. Now I can stock up on them and not worry.
Oh this is awesome!! Thank you so much for this great tip. I used to store my lemons in a pretty Polk-a-dot bowl on my kitchen counter as well but they didn't last long. I recently started keeping them in the fridge, but in the plastic produce bag from the market. They do last a lot longer but I notice the flavor is not as fresh. I'm going to try this method this weekend after my visit to the farmer's market! I'll let you know how it turns out :)
I've always stored mine in the fridge...although not in plastic bags. I'm going to try that trick to see if they last longer!
I should have read this before turning 5 pounds of Meyer Lemons (Costco had them this week) into candied lemon peel. I would have kept a few back for fresh use, but I figured I might as well turn them all into candied peel since otherwise they'd go bad too quickly.
Of course, I could always use another trip to Costco ...
I've been doing this for about a year now and it really does work. I was supposed to make two lemon meringue pies this past weekend for an event that ended up canceled. No worries; I know my lemons will last a while in a ziploc in the fridge until I can use them all!
Not only do I place them in a plastic bag, I shrink wrap them with a vacuum sealer. Works wonderfully to keep them for over a month.
lemons that have become hard while sitting in the frig can be brought back to life by a day of soaking in cold water.
I wipe them clean to remove any wax or dark spots, and then freeze them whole in a bag.
When I need the zest (yellow part of rind) I just pull one out of the freezer and scrape it directly into the recipe mixture. In this way no pith (the bitter white part of rind) will find it's way into the recipe. Another benefit that I found was that I do not lose any lemon rind oils, which defrost straight into the recipe mix and not spray all over the kitchen counter.
If I need to use the juice, I'll let the lemons defrost for a couple of hours and them squeeze them. Unfortunately once totally defrosted the lemons will be very squashy and not good for slicing and decoration. For such uses I prefer fresh lemons.
Great tip, thanks!! Glad to know this.
... another simple tip that really works: if you only need half a lemon for a recipe, wrap the other half in aluminum foil to keep it fresh. I have tried this with lemons and grapefruit; you can keep them in the fridge for at least a week and they are as good as the day you cut them. That's just my two cents!
I wonder how long they last in air tight containers on a counter.
Do lemons and limes emit ethylene?

SIOUX FALLS, SD (KELO-AM) The 2013 Mayor's Historic Preservation Award is presented to H4j1 Development Companies and Houwman Companies for the rehabilitation and renovation of the property at 300 South Main Avenue. Annually, the Mayor and the Sioux Falls Board of Historic Preservation recognize an individual or property owner with the award, which is presented to those who have demonstrated a commitment to historic preservation through advocacy, education, investment, or service.
Originally known as the Wintersteen Chevrolet Co. building on the corner of 11th Street and Main Avenue, it is now home to Boyce, Greenfield, Pashby & Welk, L.L.P., Attorneys at Law. Built in 1928, it remained a car dealership through the mid-1970s but changed names over the years as ownership changed. In the early 1940s, the building also housed the U.S. Army Technical School for radio training during World War II.
The building's restoration project began with the removal of the exterior insulation finish system and the bay windows that were installed in the 1980s. The work then moved to the interior space, which was completely renovated.
"This building has such incredible history, and Grant and his team worked so hard to bring back its incredible beauty as well," says Mayor Mike Huether. "The Mayor's Historic Preservation Award is a very small way to recognize such an important investment in one of the most visible locations for Downtown Sioux Falls!"
The award was presented to Grant Houwman, a partner with the companies involved in the project.

An Important Second Term
I was very happy to see President Obama win a second term last night. For starters it was gratifying that despite all sorts of last minute challenges this was not a close vote with hanging chads and damage to the integrity of the democratic process. It was also a compelling repudiation of candidates with backward positions on issues such as abortion and women's rights more generally.
But there are important issues on which I have have deeply disagreed with the approach taken by the Obama administration. Most important among those are the continued rolling back of civil liberties in the name of the war on terror. With a stronger position for Obama all around (including the Senate) I am hoping that maybe Obama can deliver on some of his promises of change from the 2008 election. Cory Doctorow summed up my feeling perfectly with this tweet.
I am also concerned that President Obama's approach to the jobs crisis in the US is not yet sufficiently creative and have been writing about that as well. I hope that in a second term we can see more interesting programs here as well, especially ones that tie in better with protecting the environment (more on that in upcoming posts).
One of the reasons why I am hopeful for the second term is that maybe the Republican party can return to a saner approach to politics and rid itself of its extreme elements. Chris Sacca succinctly made this point with his terrific election night tweet: "Most Republicans I know are high-integrity, thoughtful, patriotic, moderate Americans. I hope they get to take their party back." And maybe, just maybe we can move more politicians past the traditional Democratic and Republican agendas (as Sergey Brin is hoping for) and towards a Peer Progressive agenda instead.

Europe at Risk and What it Means for US Startups
Europe had three elections on the weekend: presidential in France, parliamentary in Greece and regional in Germany. The results are strongly anti-incumbent across he board. In France, Sarkozy is out and Hollande is in. In Greece, the PASOK party went from 160 to 41 seats and no longer has a majority together with New Democracy the other incumbent. And in Germany in the regional elections in Schleswig Holstein, Angela Merkel's CDU had the worst results since 1950.
The results are also strongly anti-austerity because that was the policy pursued by the incumbents. The Euro is now at a 3 month low, European stocks are down with the Greek market down 6% and Nasdaq Futures are down also. This comes on the heels of a 2.25% decline in Nasdaq this past Friday based on weak US jobs data. The risk that Europe will come apart with nations exiting the Euro and significant political and social upheaval to follow is now bigger than ever.
I had written last August that startups should raise money ASAP and I was wrong then. Europe managed to kick the can down the curb, the markets rallied and venture funding remained reasonably strong. I may well be wrong again now because we are dealing with probabilities but it should be pretty clear that the probability of Europe coming apart has gone up meaningfully with these elections.
What does that mean if you are a startup? Again, I believe if you know you have to raise money soon, you should do it even sooner than you thought you would. And if you have an existing strong syndicate you need to control your burn so that syndicate can finance you should new financing dry up. The music can stop at any moment and when it does the change is dramatic.
Americans Elect
Last year I mentioned Americans Elect twice as part of other posts. Since I am still typing mostly with my left hand, I am simply pointing everyone to Fred's post about Americans Elect today. Americans Elect has the potential to be super important but only if more people know about it. I am particularly excited about the potential to have a campaign finance reform only candidate. In fact, Larry Lessig himself has been proposed as a candidate.

Your farm office is your silent partner, working with you—or against you—every day. A few moments spent assessing how well it functions can pay off in increased productivity and profits. Here are seven things every farm office needs, according to Terri Lonier, business growth consultant and an assistant professor of entrepreneurship and strategy at Columbia College Chicago.
Because farm offices are almost always part of other buildings, producers should pay special attention to making offices as soundproof as possible, says Derek Hille, president of Office Space Planners, Portland, Ore.
Hille says farmers should count on spending between $200 and $800 per square foot for a farm office.
Pat Bowling of American Home Furnishings Alliance in High Point, N.C., says farmers might be surprised to find that new furniture has connections for computers, iPads and phones already built in, along with surge protectors.
Farmers might think about designing an office that can accommodate two or more co-workers. "It gets back to the point of versatility," Bowling says.

Check out the new iPads from Apple
The company announces a new iPad, called the iPad Air, and an updated iPad Mini Tuesday. It's also giving away its newest Mac operating system for free.
Here's what you need to know.
The full-sized iPad got the biggest upgrade. It's now called the iPad Air and is significantly thinner and lighter than the last iPad. It weighs just one pound and is 7.5 mm thin.
Inside, the iPad Air is powered by Apple's new A7 processor, the same zippy chip it uses in the iPhone 5S. The A7 processor is twice as fast as the chip used in last year's iPad.
The iPad Air will start at $499. It goes on sale Nov. 1.
Apple also updated the iPad Mini. The iPad Mini now has a sharp Retina display just like other iPhones and iPads. It also has that same A7 processor as the iPhone 5S and iPad Air.
Unfortunately, it looks like the iPad Mini's new screen isn't cheap. The iPad Mini is now more expensive than last year's model at $399, a $70 price bump.
Apple will continue to sell last year's iPad Mini for just $299. The iPad 2, the full-sized iPad that launched in 2011, is sticking around for another year and will cost $399.
Apple didn't give a launch date for the new iPad Mini, but did say it would start shipping in November.
Along with the new iPads, Apple announced a slew of other products. The MacBook Pro laptops now have faster chips and better battery life.
Finally, Apple announced a bunch of new software. Its newest operating system for Mac computers, OS X Mavericks, will be available today as a free download for Mac owners.

What would we do without fashion magazines, ever chiding Washingtonians for wearing boxy suits, Paul Ryan-like "blousy" shirts and nonskinny ties? In its November issue, GQ purged six attractive local gentlemen of these not-so-hot trends by giving them makeovers; dressing them up in tight fitting power suits, tailored tweed and desert boots (whatever those are). And while the half dozen appearing in "Project Upgrade: Capitol Hill Edition" look sharp, some of the fashion was a little out of reach for your average Capitol Hill staffer.
For example, the magazine dressed Greg Mathis Jr., a 23-year-old staff assistant for Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. in a $850 sports jacket. Max Engling, who works as staff assistant for the House Administration Committee (and also topped the Hill's "50 Most Beautiful" list this year), is dressed in a $590 J. Crew suit. And John Deoudes, a staff assistant for a Republican congressman, was put in a $650 Tallia Orange suit. When Yeas & Nays looked up congressional salary data on Legistorm, none of these staffers would be bringing in more than $40,000 in 2012. (Sorry, guys).
Shelvin Simmons, the IT director for the Senate Committee on Banking, is the only staffer featured who makes enough to not be eating ramen. His outfit, which the 34-year-old models outside the Washington Club on Dupont Circle, goes for $865. GQ also chose to feature a speechwriter, 29-year-old Jake Currie, whose casual outfit costs $858 and that's just for the cardigan, pants and shirt. And finally the magazine featured Mark Galvan, a 25-year-old construction project manager on Capitol Hill, whose sporting a more reasonable $64 shirt to replace his original one, which GQ described as a "Chris Christie hand-me-down," paired with $348 trousers.

United Steelworkers Report Offers Six Ways To Build A Progressive Economy
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
We all know the economy is a disaster. Globalization and free market capitalism have created long-term unemployment, a political climate poisoned against progressive taxation, and a general unwillingness to tackle the structural problems facing the United States. The Republican Party exists to further the interest of the mega-rich while much of the Democratic Party follows suit. Meanwhile, the standard of living of average Americans declines.
With the lack of real leadership from Washington, we need progressives to stand up and offer meaningful policy solutions to reshape the debate. Led by Leo Hindery, chair of the Smart Globalization Initiative at the New America Foundation and Leo W. Girard, president of the United Steelworkers, the Task Force on Job Creation has released a report providing an excellent framework for revitalizing the American economy.
Entitled "A Vision for Economic Renewal: An American Jobs Agenda," the report argues, "Our national leadership is responsible for tackling such crises, and President Obama has shown a willingness to reform health care and regulate the financial services industries. Today our nation needs that same passion and commitment directed at job creation." It then presents a six-point plan with short- and long-term policy proposals. By and large, these are sensible ideas that, should we follow them, would bring America back from the brink of disaster.
1. Manufacturing
Noting, "Manufacturing is essential for our nation's economic recovery and long-term health," the report suggests three immediate goals. First, the government should focus on domestic procurement, buying goods with at least 75 percent of the content made within U.S. borders. Second, it would spur domestic manufacturing with a 10 percent investment tax credit for renovating manufacturing facilities. Third, it would require those bidding for government contracts to file Employment Impact Statements that would factor into winning those contracts. In the longer-term, it asks President Obama to create a new Works Progress Administration-like program that would directly employee Americans to rebuild the American economy, create a President's Council on Manufacturing Policy, and promote research and development in new technologies.
These ideas strike at the heart of the economic crisis: national policy currently encourages cutting workforces and sending jobs overseas through corporate tax breaks for companies investing overseas rather than creating jobs in the U.S. We cannot put the economy back together again unless we have people making things in America. Manufacturing work has an essential role to play in any successful economic recovery package. Without it, we will continue with our rapidly growing income inequality problems. The report's recommendations provide a valuable starting point for dealing with these problems.
2. Trade and Globalization
Rightfully noting globalization is undermining the American economy through the rapid acceleration of outsourcing American jobs and decimating labor and environmental standards around the world, the report urges President Obama to eliminate tax incentives that rewards corporations for outsourcing jobs overseas, promote producing military goods at home, enact temporary tariffs that would allow the nation to deal with trade deficits without violating trade agreements, and create a new division within the Justice Department to enforce trade agreements. Long-term goals include government promotion of vocational and technical training and developing strategies for technology-based planning that would provide national control for technologies key to future consumer needs.
Again, the report provides a fine road map for battling against the worst aspects of globalization while also encouraging business-friendly policies such as tax reforms that could convince them to keep jobs in the United States. Given the enormous military-industrial complex, the report's emphasis on spurring domestic defense manufacturing makes a great deal of sense; no other sector could put so many people to work so quickly. I am nervous about embracing military spending as the solution to any crisis. But if our goal is to put Americans back to work, it is better to employ Americans in defense production than shipping the jobs overseas and leaving many young Americans with no choice other than joining the military. Reforming America's relationship with globalization would be fraught with problems. No nation did more to promote it and no nation's capitalists have benefited more. But if we are going to deal with its employment problem, redefining our relationship with globalization must happen.

Controversial Pastor Terry Jones was released from jail Thursday and called the charges against him "bogus" after Polk County deputies arrested him en route to a rally where Jones planned to burn 2,998 copies of the Koran.
Following his release, Jones said the sheriff's office targeted him and never planned on letting him hold his event.
"I think we were definitely, we were definitely targeted," the Gainesville-based preacher said. "I think there's no doubt about that because they were looking for something and I think what's really serious is the stopping of your First Amendment rights."
Jones was in a truck driven by Marvin Wayne Sapp, his assistant, and they were towing a grill filled with kerosene-soaked copies of the Koran. Deputies charged them with transporting hazardous material. They're both also accused of having their guns out in public.
Deputies arrested them about a mile from Loyce Harpe Park in Mulberry, where they planned to hold their rally.
"I think the things that we did that broke the law, I think the punishment was way too severe," Jones said.
But Sheriff Grady Judd said Jones went to jail because he broke the law: he was driving around with flammable materials that the sheriff compared to a bomb.
In the end, Judd believes Jones might have actually gotten exactly what he wanted: a trip to jail. Judd said the pastor was "so obvious and overt" in his crimes that it appeared he planned to spend the night in jail all along.
"I mean first off, you don't have a tag on your trailer, which is a second degree misdemeanor; I mean, c'mon man," Judd said, adding deputies initially stopped the truck because the trailer it was towing didn't have a license plate. "It's kind of like he's pokin' at you. You got to think he's doing that intentionally."
The sheriff went on to say Jones had been warned he couldn't hold his rally or light a fire in the park because he didn't have the proper permits; another reason Judd believes the pastor wanted to get arrested.
Some folks in Mulberry were glad deputies stepped in.
"I don't believe in burning any good book. To me it's garbage," said Tony Fowler.
Jones, however, said one night in jail won't stop him from planning future rallies.
"First Amendment rights are only valid when they allow me or you to say something that people don't like," he said. "We will definitely next year continue on with the burning of 2,998 Korans."

Ansys: A play on power efficiency
From autos to cloud computing, this company helps manufacturers produce more efficient devices.
Ansys (ANSS) is a company right in the middle of figuring out where power comes from, where it goes and how best to use it.
The company designs and runs complex and critical simulations for manufacturers of every stripe. Its customer base exceeds 40,000 and includes 96 of the top 100 industrial companies in the U.S.
Much of Ansys' expertise is around energy and energy efficiency. Its automobile customers use its software to design electric engines for cars and find ways for traditional cars to meet new mileage standards.
Oilfield services companies use it to simulate subterranean conditions on a drilling site to avoid downtime on rigs; and alternative energy companies use Ansys for designing solar cells, fuel
cells and pollution control systems.
More generally, tech companies are becoming significant energy hogs. Every Google search you perform is the energy equivalent of driving an automobile three inches.
More and more, applications used by the average person demand far more energy than a search engine query. Interactive maps, video streaming and cloud computing all demand more power -- and more efficient devices.
This summer, Ansys acquired a similar company, Apache Systems, which competed in
a complementary area. The combined entity has become a darling of the market.
Apache runs power usage analysis and optimization software for the electronics industry, including the world's top 20 semiconductor companies (by sales).
Apache focuses on four areas: energy efficiency for consumer electronics like digital cameras and televisions, battery life for mobile phones and similar devices, energy cost for data centers, and tackling electromagnetic interference among systems in automobiles.
Apache's sales growth has been strong, rising between 27% and 37% annually since 2006 to $46 million last year.
Ansys itself was a fairly impressive company before the Apache acquisition. The company posted annual revenue of $580 million in 2010 and $1.65 in diluted per-share earnings, both up firmly from the year before and continuing the trend of steadily increasing results.
For its latest quarter, sales were up 27%, (20% of which was organic growth), and double-digit growth was achieved in all of its geographical regions and most of its business lines. Per-share income was 48 cents in the quarter, up from 40 cents the prior-year's period.
Ansys sales are built on a simulation product called Workbench, which it sells through a network of distributors.
One of the product's appeals is that it is powerful enough to allow a full product -- such as an oil rig or a wind turbine -- to be modeled, viewed and tweaked.
Driving growth for Ansys is the increasing complexity of products as well as recognition that
performing simulations and engaging them earlier in the manufacturing and design process helps ensure higher-quality products and get them to market faster.
ANSS spent most of 2010 building a base between 40 and 45. It started a bull move 13 months ago that took shares to a high of 58 before the summer market troubles sent shares retracing to 45.
In late October, ANSS popped higher on news of the company's excellent third quarter, putting shares into bullish territory on huge volume.
The recent new all-time high of 60 marks near-term resistance due to a slightly overbought condition. Use any dip to buy, since shares looked primed to continue to rally.
