Now's the time for cheap tacos, burgers, pizza, drinks and more.
It's a new year, and we've got some new dining deals and coupons, with some help from our friends at Cities on the Cheap.
For a limited time, T.G.I. Friday's is bringing back its popular "3 for $12.99″ dinner menu, which gives you appetizer, entrée and dessert for $12.99.
For something a bit cheaper, Fuddruckers is offering the Family Fudds Deal, which feeds two adults and two children for $20. The deal includes two 1/3-pound burgers with fries and soft drinks or domestic beers and two kid's meals (hamburger or hot dog) with fries and drink.
One reader's easy, effective tip for avoiding excess expenditures.
Having trouble staying true to your spending plan?
Maybe your downfall is those online shopping specials. Maybe you keep going out with friends even though you've burned through your entertainment budget for the week, or the month. Maybe you regularly stop for takeout meals while leftovers shrivel in the fridge.
A regular reader of the Smart Spending message board who posts as "SC CDF" came up with a budgeting strategy that's both simple and brilliant:
They aren't magic bullets, and can't create a signal where there is none.
This Deal of the Day comes from Kelli B. Grant at partner site SmartMoney.
Smart phones are capable of many tricks these days -- thanks to an abundance of apps, Internet connectivity and embedded MP3 players and cameras -- but all the bells and whistles don't mean a thing if you can't get a signal.
The average consumer spends roughly $70 a month for cell phone service, according to market researcher Nielsen. For that kind of money, the ability to make clear, consistent connections at home, in the office and on the road seems perfectly reasonable.

While the carriers (most notably, Verizon and AT&T) duke it out in commercials over who has the best coverage, fastest network and hottest phones, companies at the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas are looking at the problem from a different perspective:

So, your family doesn't cook. How are you ever going to learn to prepare your own food and save money?
This guest post comes from Kris at Cheap Healthy Good.
A few months ago, CHG posted a piece called "Overcoming your cooking obstacles," discussing why folks avoid their own kitchens. I argued that cooking is imperative to saving cash (because you spend less) and eating healthier (because you have control), and then presented some strategies for conquering common culinary fears.
Sadly, there's an obstacle I missed. A big one. Maybe the biggest one of all. What if your family doesn't cook? What if they never did? What if they don't want to, either?
At first, this may seem like a problem easily solved. "Suck it up and get going," you might hear. "This is your journey, not theirs." Boo, I say. Boo.
Those words are often used to bludgeon people who are struggling.
This guest post comes from Andrea at Fools and Sages.
If I had a list of my least favorite phrases or words, "personal responsibility" would be right near the top, along with "you go, girlfriend," "irregardless" and "supposably."
Sounds odd, right? How in the world could personal responsibility be a bad thing?
Well, it's not, of course. Personal responsibility is an honorable trait, one that parents try to instill in their children and companies look for in their employees, something that constituents try in vain to see in their elected officials and fans sometimes pretend to care about in their superstars.
What I don't like is when the phrase "personal responsibility" is used as a bludgeon, a self-righteous way of saying that those who are somehow facing challenges are stupid, lazy, weak, and immoral.
Some are angry about the delay in getting new releases, but others see a bigger picture.
Just when we were ready to ditch the satellite TV in favor of Netflix, news of this deal emerged: New releases from Warner Bros. studios won't be available for rent through Netflix until 28 days after they go on sale.
We had to wonder: Does that reduce the value of Netflix for us? What do some of Netflix's 11 million subscribers think?
Some movie fans are not happy.
Buying an extended warranty rarely makes sense -- except when it does.
This Deal of the Day comes from Kelli B. Grant at partner site SmartMoney.
Whether you're buying a $50 MP3 player or a $500 TV, paying more to extend the warranty or service plan is usually -- but not always -- a pretty bad deal.
Buying into such options means you're betting on a rare event:
That's just the first step in merging lives in ways you might not have considered before.
This post comes from Trent Hamm at partner blog The Simple Dollar.

Secret Show Kicks Off Thanksgiving Break
Posted by Marcus Correll on 12/01 at 11:10 AM
Before the Thanksgiving break, a special show was held for a select group of students.
For many, secret shows are only a rumored idea from movies and gossip websites. Are there really artists who are so popular and so overwhelmed that they would rather play an apartment rather than a concert hall? Apparently, yes.
On the Monday night before the holiday, Casey Crescenzo, formerly of The Receiving End of Sirens and currently of Dear Hunter, performed a secret apartment show exclusive to an invite-only group. The show was held downtown at the Graduate on the corner of Beaver and Atherton.
Those in attendance were graciously attentive, with some cuddling on the couch and others munching on the cookie cake in the corner. Everyone was listening to the stories of Crescenzo's touring past peppered with favorite songs requested by the audience.
Playing everything from "Mustard Gas" to "Red Hands," the secret show provided for a rare and intimate experience. It seemed more like a visit from a long-lost friend rather than the lead singer of a popular band. Crescenzo talked about his weirdest memories from touring, his inspirations and influences, and even his views on the "Arrested Development" movie that he says is happening.
This was the last stop of Crescenzo's secret shows, and so he even gave the crowd a special a Capella version of "B. Linus" with a drum box.
A special thanks goes to those who organized the event. Thanks also to Crescenzo for taking time out of recording and touring to provide some of his biggest fans with these memorable performances. Students can look forward to more shows springing up before the end of the year.

Specialty Box Office: 'Mud' hits, 'At Any Price' doesn't
According to Indiewire, this weekend's art house box office winner was "Mud," starring Matthew McConaughey, which netted $2,185,980 (or thereabouts) on 363 screens, averaging $6,022. That's far from the highest per screen average: lots of people saw the Norwegian Oscar-nominee "Kon-Tiki," which netted $22,334 on only two screens.
Somewhat surprising is that recent events didn't keep people away from "The Reluctant Fundamentalist," Mira Nair's hot-button account of a Pakistani social climber (Riz Ahmed) who is at least moderately radicalized through racial profiling after the events of September 11. That nabbed $32,700 from 3 screens, for a $10,900 per screen average.
Elsewhere, "Midnight's Children," based on Salman Rushdie 1983 breakthrough novel and adapted by the author himself, did okay an $12,200 on two screens. As did Terence Nance's hyped experimental film "An Oversimplification of Her Beauty," which only did $11,100 on two screens. (Ed. That number should be higher. It's an excellent film. Try harder, moviegoers.)
The big news is the severely underperforming "At Any Price," from "Man Push Cart" and "Goodbye Solo" director Ramin Bahrani. Despite a name cast (Dennis Quaid and Zac Efron) and some good reviews (largely surrounding Quaid's performance), it only made $16,574 on 4 screens, for a meh $4,144 per screen average.
See Indiewire's report for more details. And please read our reviews of "Mud," "The Reluctant Fundamentalist," "Midnight's Children," "An Oversimplification of Her Beauty" and "At Any Price."

Root Vegetables
CROSBY EGYPTIAN BEET (45 day heirloom)HEIRLOOM 1880 This heirloom beet originated in Germany and is reputed to be the most widely grown beet in the world. The large, flattened beets are grown primarily above the soil but the skins don't get the toughness of the upper portions of some beets. Beets are very sweet and early without any "earthy" taste. 300 seeds. Learn More$1.50
PINETREE BEET MIX 1 ozA mixture of the beets we sell along with a few other varieties that we favor. This mix includes: Cylindra, Detroit, Early Wonder, Boltardy, Crosby Egyptian, Ruby Queen, Red Cloud, and Lutz Winter Keeper. 1 ounce packet, approx. 2275 seeds. Learn More$3.95
DETROIT BEET (63 days heirloom)HEIRLOOM 1892 Has been the leading crop beet for the last 20 years, but has been grown for over 100 years. The crimson of the flesh also shows in the leaves. Large, smooth roots are produced, but it is also good for greens at an earlier stage. Freezes and cans well, with exceptional flavor. 300 seeds. Learn More$1.25
RED ACE BEET (F1 hybrid 51 days)This beet provides the ideal combination of early maturity and standing in the field for a long period without bolting or toughening up. We picked beets from the same planting for a period of two months and the last ones harvested were nearly as good as the first. Tops are fairly short, 12 inches. Roots are very smooth and round with an excellent flavor. 100 seeds. Learn More$1.50
RED CLOUD BEET (F1 hybrid 50 days)A dark red, vigorous growing beet with a well attached top of good color. It is very resistant to bolting and a single planting can be harvested over a long season. What really sold us on this variety was the exceptionally sweet flavor and fine texture. It is also a good choice for greens. 100 seeds. Learn More$1.25
GOLDEN BEET (55 days heirloom)HEIRLOOM 1828 The 3 inch, round, golden bulbs are renowned for their quite exceptional sweetness. The unique color dresses up many a dish and has the added advantage that it doesn't bleed as do the red varieties. 100 seeds. Learn More$1.75
BOLTARDY BEET (46 days)This beet originated in Holland and is now one of the most popular beets in England. It is ideal for early sowing because, as the name implies it does not bolt. Color is very strong - it is thought of as a "high-pigment" beet. Size approaches that of a tennis ball and the sweet, "beety" flavor is superb. 300 seeds. Learn More$1.25
EARLY WONDER BEET (50 days heirloom)HEIRLOOM 1911 Somewhat earlier than the other full-sized beets. The tops are medium to tall and excellent for greens. Root is globular with a relatively small tap root. Dark red color and good flavor. 300 seeds. Learn More$1.25
LUTZ WINTER KEEPER BEET (80 days heirloom)HEIRLOOM This old time variety remains the best for both storage and beet greens harvested at any time. The roots are half long, deep purple and will retain their sweetness if properly stored throughout the winter. 300 seeds. Learn More$1.50
SUGAR BEET (100 days)Germ 5-10 days. These large gangly roots produce a natural source of sugar. The roots are very sweet and can be used fresh to add sweetness to dishes or with some research in processing and recipes, made into sugar, syrup, molasses, and wine. They are fun to grow and you will be pleasantly surprised when you try a bite of one. 100 seeds. Learn More$1.75
CYLINDRA BEET (58 days)HEIRLOOM 1880 These beets are shaped more like a fat carrot or a thin rutabaga than a traditional beet, 6 to 8 inches long and 1 1/2 to 2 inches in diameter. The dark red roots taste great and are ideal for slicing, either fresh or for pickling. 300 seeds. Learn More$1.50
RUBY QUEEN BEET (60 days)Sweet flavored, deep red, globe shaped variety, with short dark green tops. A popular variety in the northeast, this 1957 All America Winner was rated by a panel of garden writers as one of the dozen top all-time vegetable varieties. 300 seeds. Learn More$1.25

Nearly a dozen Dartmouth students are travelling across the country in the bus
They're in the middle of a nationwide tour. Thirteen Dartmouth College Students are teaching people across the U.S.:
"The feeling of running on veg," said Meegan Daigler of The Big Green Bus.
That's their way of saying running on waste vegetable oil.
"It actually contains 290 gallons of waste vegetable oil which we pick up at restaurants and hotels from around the country," said Morgan Curtis of The Big Green Bus.
The first question in many people's mind is: 'Does this thing give off any type of odor?' Sure enough, people driving behind the bus can smell French fries, catfish, and even Chinese food.
"It smells fantastic," said Curtis.
Besides the fried food smell, running on veg is environmentally friendly.
"It's a lot closer to carbon neutral than traditional fossil fuels," said Curtis.
High school chemistry tells you, that's a good thing.
And everything you need to travel across country is on-board the bus, including a filtration station that cleans the gunk.
"When we pump oil out of dumpsters it sometimes there are floating French fries, things like that," said Curtis.
The bus can't start with vegetable oil. It uses diesel to warm up then ten minutes later, switches over to veg.
"You can't even feel the difference," said Erik Skarin of The Big Green Bus.
The cross country trip was running smoothly, until their air conditioner went out a couple days ago.
"It's pretty hot," said Skarin.
Bad timing as afternoon temps are well past the century mark in North Texas.
"I've never been someplace so hot in my entire life," said Daigler.
While in Dallas in the middle of a heat wave, the students had the chance to teach kids all about their bus and ways to be kinder to the earth.
"You get that first impression of like 'they're just a kid they don't know very much,' but then you dig a little deeper, and they pick up on a lot of stuff," said Skarin.
And people across the country have picked up a thing or two about the Big Green Bus then afterwards, you get hungry for chicken strips and French fries.Copyright © 2014, Orlando Sentinel

Rihanna seems to have two types of fans: the uber-supportive, better known as her Navy, and the other group that loves to hate her. The latter have resumed bashing Rihanna, this time for arriving more than an hour late to her concert in Adelaide, Australia, on Thursday.
According to The Australian , a disgruntled crowd booed the singer for arriving on stage 90 minutes after the show was scheduled to begin. Rihanna failed to explain the delay and told the crowd, "Adelaide, what the f**k, I'm finally here, and I now remember how crazy my Australian fans are."
Even though the show went on, it seems some fans were still upset by Rihanna's tardiness, and vented on Twitter.
" @rihanna thanks for a disappointing show last night..as if #Adelaide doesn't suck enough already # igotdressedforthat # late ," @ TBomb_Moritz said .
" # whilewaitingforrihanna I auditioned for X Factor, won it, became a pop star myself and turned up late to my own concert," @ petstarr joked .
Hopefully, Rihanna will be more prompt for the remaining stops of her Diamonds World Tour, which will travel next to Melbourne and Sydney, Australia, and then to Auckland, New Zealand.

Minneapolis, MN (Sports Network) - Blair Walsh booted a 38-yard field goal in overtime as the Minnesota Vikings edged the Jacksonville Jaguars, 26-23, in the season opener for both teams at Mall of America Field.
After Walsh knocked through the game-tying 55-yarder in the closing seconds of regulation, Minnesota won the toss and began the overtime period with the ball at its own 25.
Adrian Peterson, playing in his first game since suffering torn anterior cruciate and medial collateral ligaments in his left knee late last season, got the Vikes into Jacksonville territory with a 20-yard run to the 42. Christian Ponder hit Toby Gerhart for eight yards on 3rd-and-13 to get down to the Jags 20, and Walsh easily booted it through the uprights to give his team the lead.
As per the new overtime rules, Jacksonville got the ball and needed at least a field goal to keep the game going, but Blaine Gabbert threw an incomplete pass on 4th-and-2, sealing the win for the Vikings.

Powerball jackpot soars as hopefuls bet big
With no winner in Wednesday night's drawing, the prize tops $250 million for the third time in the past year.
And that total could grow as people line up for the chance to win.
The current Powerball jackpot is making history as one of the game's largest annuities ever. The cash payout is estimated at $198.3 million.
This is the third Powerball jackpot to top $250 million in less than a year, ABC news reports.
And lottery fever is kicking in, even though your chance of winning is about 1 in 175 million. But people are jumping at the chance to buy some hope and fantasize for a little while about what they would do with the money.
Some 43 states and Washington D.C. participate in the Powerball, creating an economic boost at a time when the country needs it. But it's not as much of a boost as you'd think.
reports. About 60% of the sales are paid to the winners, about 6% are commissions for retailers and 9% pay for administrative costs.
Some economists say that if you actually went out and spent that money on goods and services instead of gambling it away, the economy would see a bigger boost.
But if you must play, consider going to the fortune cookie for your winning numbers. In 2005, 110 players got five of the six numbers right, raising suspicion among lottery officials, The New York Times reports. But there was no fraud involved; those players all took their winning numbers from fortune cookies made by a New York City factory.

Are job cuts an Obamacare myth?
Why then do companiesin the United States send their IT, Manufacturing, etc... to other countries boosting their economy other then ours. these economist should look at the big picture instead of what Washington wants them to say. OUR MONEY WE DO WITH IT AS WE WISH, or are we going to be another Greece?
Of the people that do play, think of what that amount of money can do for states, the store(s) that sell the ticket(s), the senior citizens programs that benefit in many states. Imagine what an intelligent person(s) can do with that money to aid in boosting the economy, if nothing else in at least one or more of the 32 states the Powerball is in. I look at it this way, if you are a miserable person with $10.00 in your pocket, you will still be a miserable person with $10,000,000.00. Good LUCK to everyone who plays this evening.
It has been said before, instead of new items improve the quality of the standard menu. I go every few months and when I do I am reminded of why I don't eat there as often as I used to. . Warm fries, dry over cooked burgers, etc. If you are lucky to get a burger fresh off the grill it is quite good, but if it is pulled from the warming oven of death well you might as well give up,

It's supposed to be a family event. In a video from last year's Center Line fireworks show kids were laughing and cheering. This year, those cheers turned to screams when someone brought a gun to the party."Saw these people arguing back and forth, and it's about eleven o'clock, they start running towards my direction," one person told us.No one would go on camera, but witnesses say a 19-year-old from Warren was shot once in the back. He crawled across the street for help collapsing right in front of the Center Line Fire Department. He was unable to tell police what happened, and it seems everyone saw something different."It just makes it a little more difficult to find out exactly what happened. Everybody has a different perspective of what they saw and where they saw it, and putting it all together is our jobs, but it's the difficult part to the job," said Public Safety Director Paul Myzenski.The victim is expected to make a full recovery. As soon as he's well enough to speak, police will get the full story from the only person who seems to know the truth."It's terrible because this whole event was put together for the benefit of the community and for families to sit back and enjoy it," Myzenski said.

By: Kim Tobin, KOB Eyewitness News 4
The monsoon storms that moved through New Mexico brought rain and flooding.
Something deadly could be growing inside your walls.
One Santa Fe woman said she almost died after she was sickened by toxic black mold.
From a healthy, young mom to a disabled woman, battling for her life.
"It can kill you," Gina Lopez said. "It can definitely kill you."
Lopez lived with toxic black mold secretly growing in the ceiling above her bed for years.
Problems surfaced three years ago, when she could not remember parts of her day, and she had trouble talking.
"One day it hit me, to where I was stuttering so bad that I couldn't talk, couldn't walk," Lopez said. "They had to take me to the emergency room."
Lopez says doctors were stumped, until her daughter, Victoria, slept in her bed for a short amount of time. And the 14-year-old started having the same symptoms.
In the years since, a lab confirmed it was toxic black mold. Lopez has been diagnosed with chronic inflammatory response syndrome, causing her legs to swell.
Lopez also had cysts and tumors on her brain and in her spinal canal.
"It was so hard and I hate it so much," Victoria said.
"There was a point in time where I couldn't explain what was going on," said Lopez. "My kids had to sit there and watch me, and watch my health failing. And the doctor, he couldn't tell me what was wrong."
Mold illness is not taught in medical school. Doctors say there is still much research to be done.
Lopez was referred to a doctor in Roswell who is only one of four physicians in the U.S. certified to treat mold illness.
Slowly, she is improving.
"If I can turn this negative that we suffered,into a positive for my grandchildren someday and for people out there that have suffered down south, with the flooding, then it's a good thing," Lopez said.
Not all mold is toxic black mold. And not everyone will suffer the way Lopez did.
If you suspect this mold is growing in your home, have it tested.
For links to mold inspection companies as well as who to contact if you feel you are sick from mold exposure, click here

Customer Reviews of Norton AntiVirus - 1 User, 3 PCs
basic norton6/11/2014
This is your basic Norton Anti-virus, works good and uses little of operating system. Only problem is if you have earlier version of Norton installed it did not want to install until old version was removed manually
Good Seller4/23/2014
Product arrived very quickly. Very satisfied.
Norton AV - great buy, great seller1/30/2014
As advertised. Prompt shipment and product installed and registered without issue. Thanks.
Great product and great tech support1/6/2014
I bought it even though my current subscription had 301 days left. I figured I can just add 366 days more. NOT THE CASE! Beware, it will only give you a max of 366 days no matter how many days are left. I called tech support and they were able to resolve it by combining the two so now I have 667 days left. Yeah! DO NOT RENEW unless you have 1-2 days left. The licenses do not combine! Nevertheless, Norton AV is a great product since they have revamped it a few years ago.
Best Anti-virus1/6/2014
Best anti-virus out there. Have used this for 15 years and never had a virus on my PC,
Another Year of Protection12/30/2013
I'll admit it; sometimes Norton Anti-Virus can have me pulling my hair out! But I've been using it for over ten years and it's kept my laptops safe. And nowadays, NAV does a lot more than just protect against viruses.
Product did not work10/28/2013
This product does not work with Windows 8.1 or windows 8 regardless of what is says on the box. The seller is HORRIBLE and would not refund my money even after Norton verified that the product would NOT work with Windows 8.1 or Windows 8.
Great product9/28/2013
Previously purchased single use Norton Antivirus for my laptop then my Mom and brother were both having computer problems so I purchased the 3 user package for them and installed it. We are all happy with this product.
Good value9/28/2013

Super Price9/28/2013
I got this for a friend. He has three PC's in his home. This does all of them for under $20. He loves it.
Good value for the money7/6/2013
Anti-virus software is great. Easy to install.
Different from McCafee anti-virus software5/31/2013
With this software, I can actually initiate a scan of my hard drives & any other mobile store medium that I have inserted into my laptop other than simply being "shield".
Norton Anti-virus - 1 user 3 pc's5/21/2013
In my opinion, Norton Anti-virus is still the most comprehensive software solution available. It is a little resource intensive, but I feel the results are worth it. The package allows you to be as "hands on: or "hands off" as you want to be.It also has nice reporting features. It just works and is pretty compatible (except other anti-virus products) with other software. It's not real fancy, it just works. If you run multiple machines, this licensed version is pretty reasonable in price. Recommended.
Great price4/14/2013
I always buy Norton Products I trust in there security products.
Easy to Install, Great Protection for Android Item4/5/2013
I have purchased this software before, so I already knew it was good. I am a loyal Symantec/Norton user for all my internet and computer security needs. It's easy to install and is great protection for my andoid tablet and phone.
Good product4/3/2013
I am very satisfied with my purchase. The price was very good.
best antivirus4/1/2013
symantic product is always # 1, quick install
a perfect antivirus for me3/20/2013
I've been using Norton antivirus products for years on all my computers. Never got an infection. Installation is seamless. This product is actually Antivirus 2013. The installation program recognized that I had Norton Internet Security 2012, asked if I wanted it removed, and then removed it and installed Antivirus 2013. The interface is very friendly. The product works quietly and does not take much resources, even on my Eee PC netbook..
Norton Anti-Virus Software2/20/2013
Software is just what I needed for my computers. I'm happy with it and Platinum Micro.
Great Product2/20/2013
I has used Norton Antivirus for some time now and will not use anyother.It has kept my computer safe from attacks many times.Only one I would recommend.
Great Product2/19/2013
This product covered 3 computers with Norton 2013 Anti virus. It installed easily and works great.
Norton always works1/23/2013
I have used Norton for years and have always been please with how it works and the ease of operation. It has always been rated one of the top AntiVirus products and installs easily and and doesn't slow down my CPU.
Nortan Anti-Virus at a good price12/21/2012
Since I put this on my 2 computers and my parents' computer, I buy the 3 license edition which is significantly less expensive than buying 3 individual licenses. Norton Anti-Virus has not let me down for the many years I've been using it.

Kevin Fawver told FOX 9 News he had a five hour stand-off with a 4-foot snake after he found it along a road in Chaska and tried to save it.
Eventually, Fawver put it in his truck -- but before long, the snake slithered out of its bag and into a nook in the trunk.
Carver County sheriff's deputies and Chanhassen Police tried to help the snake get out, but it just wouldn't budge.
Finally, Fawver and his brother took matters into their own hands. They ripped open the trunk like a can of sardines and pulled the snake out.
The snake didn't have a scratch in it, and no one was hurt.
"I feel great. After we couldn't get it out today, I felt so ill because it was so pretty," Fawver said. "I'm extremely happy we saved an animal."
Sheriff's deputies told FOX 9 News think the snake is a boa constructor.
Fawver says he'll keep the snake overnight and work with the Animal Humane Society to find it a good home.

Ten Die On Kentucky Roadways During Labor Day Holiday Period
Date of News Release: 09/04/2007
(FRANKFORT, Ky.) - Preliminary statistics* indicate that 10 people died in 10 separate crashes on Kentucky's roadways during the Labor Day holiday reporting period, which began at 6:00 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 31 and continued through 11:59 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 3.
Nine of the fatalities involved motor vehicles and three of the victims were not wearing seat belts. The seat belt status of two of the victims is unknown at this time. One of the fatalities was the result of a motorcycle crash. Two of the crashes involved the suspected use of alcohol.
Single-fatality crashes occurred in Barren, Boyd, Jefferson, Lincoln, Logan, McCracken, Montgomery, Perry, Simpson and Whitley counties.
Through Sept. 3, preliminary statistics* indicate that 567 people have lost their lives on Kentucky roadways during 2007. This is 37 fewer than reported for this time period in 2006. Of the 455 motor vehicle fatalities, 262 victims were not wearing seat belts. Of the 70 motorcycle fatalities, 39 were not wearing helmets. Of the 20 ATV fatalities, 16 were not wearing helmets. One bicyclist and 21 pedestrians have been killed. A total of 130 fatalities have resulted from crashes involving the suspected use of alcohol.
Citizens can contribute to highway safety by reporting erratic drivers to the Kentucky State Police toll-free at 1-800-222-5555 (in the state of Kentucky only, does not work out of state). Callers will remain anonymous and should give a description of the vehicle, location, direction of travel and license number if possible.
*These statistics are still preliminary as KSP waits for all local law enforcement agencies throughout the state to report any crashes and fatalities that may have occurred in their areas.

What is your purpose?

LeBryan Nash scored 21 points as Oklahoma State sent rival Oklahoma to an 0-3 Big 12 Conference start, winning 72-65 Monday night in Stillwater.
The Cowboys (9-7 overall, 2-1 Big 12) used a 14-2 run to end the first half and led 35-22. In the second half, the lead grew to as many as 17 on Nash's tip-in with 12:26 remaining.
But, the Sooners didn't go away quietly, scoring eight straight to cut the lead to single digits on Carl Blair's 3-pointer with 10:25 to play.
OSU responded with a 10-2 run to extend the lead back to 17, a lead that, despite a furious run over the final few minutes, would be too much for the Sooners to overcome.
Joining Nash in double figures for Oklahoma State was Keiton Page with 18 and Brian Williams with 13. Michael Cobbins fell one point short of a double-double, scoring 9 to go with ten rebounds.
Blair led the Sooners (10-5, 0-3) with 20 points and 10 rebounds off the bench. Romero Osby also had a double-double, scoring 18 points and grabbing ten boards. Andrew Fitzgerald scored 12.
Oklahoma State faces its toughest test of the season so far when they return to play Saturday at fourth-ranked Baylor. OU will try to notch its first conference win when they host 18th-ranked Kansas State.

Logano flat opens door for MenardBy NOAH TRISTER
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS | June 15,2014BROOKLYN, Mich. Joey Logano was only a few laps away from victory when suddenly, holding off Paul Menard wasnt his main problem.
I could tell something was wrong on the back straightaway, Logano said.
Loganos flat tire with about five laps remaining allowed Menard to win the NASCAR Nationwide Series race Saturday at Michigan International Speedway. It was Menards second victory on that circuit and first since 2006, and Logano was left trying to come to terms with a race that was going well until the final moments.
I hate to give them away like that, Logano said. You look at the silver lining I guess, which is we had a fast race car and should have won the race. You win some this way and lose some this way.
Logano was leading when he was derailed by the tire problem. Menard took advantage of his good fortune, holding off Sam Hornish Jr. by 0.468 seconds. It was Menards first Nationwide start of the season.
Dale Earnhardt Jr. finished third, followed by pole-winner Kyle Busch and Brian Scott. Regan Smith finished seventh and remained atop the points list.
Menard, one of several Sprint Cup drivers in contention in the event, won the 250-mile, 125-lap race in his No. 33 Chevrolet. He figures he might have had a shot to win even without Loganos mishap.
I would have liked to have lined up nose to tail with Joey, he said. It would have been a hell of a race.
Logano wasnt disputing that, but the point became moot when he ran over something in his No. 22 Ford and dropped all the way back to 16th place because of the cut tire.
The 33 was quick and had a fast race car also. We were going to have a race because he was catching me a little bit, Logano said. Sometimes you are the bug, sometimes you are the windshield. It is never over until it is over. You think you are in good shape and you are worried about a caution more than anything else and then the next thing you know you hear it starting to come apart.
Busch won his third Nationwide pole of the year but was unable to repeat his victory two weeks ago at Dover. Scott was the highest finisher among this years Nationwide regulars, holding his own among several Cup drivers.
Ive been fortunate to run a couple Cup Series races, and I felt like it was a huge benefit to me and my team in the Nationwide Series, said Scott, who along with Menard was part of a big day for Richard Childress Racing. The added track time, just driving something with more horsepower. You actually figure out ... the grip threshold, and you realize just how high it is. Then you can get in your Nationwide car and you know that youre nowhere near it or youre at it, and how to approach that.
Hornish nearly won the Nationwide Series in 2013, but his sponsorship money dried up and he parted ways with owner Roger Penske. Hes made only three Nationwide starts this year, but the irregular schedule doesnt seem to be affecting his performance. Hes finished in the top five in all three races, including a victory at Iowa in May.
He was in the No. 20 Toyota for Joe Gibbs Racing on Saturday.
Its not really a knocking-off-the-rust thing, because Im at the shop every week, Hornish said. I feel like Im keeping from being rusty by the amount of things that Im doing as far as that. Gotten to do a little bit of testing, and theyve given me good cars. Everybody at Joe Gibbs Racing has been super nice to me so far glad that we could come out and have another good day for them.MORE IN Wire SportsEAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.

Geraldine Brooks
Adult Fiction BROOKS
Summary: A richly imagined new novel from the author of the New York Times bestseller, People of the Book . Once again, Geraldine Brooks takes a remarkable shard of history and brings it to vivid life. In 1665, a young man from Martha's Vineyard became the first Native American to graduate from Harvard College. Upon this slender factual scaffold, Brooks has created a luminous tale of love and faith, magic and adventure. The narrator of Caleb's Crossing is Bethia Mayfield, growing up in the tiny settlement of Great Harbor amid a small band of pioneers and Puritans. Restless and curious, she yearns after an education that is closed to her by her sex. As often as she can, she slips away to explore the island's glistening beaches and observe its native Wampanoag inhabitants. At twelve, she encounters Caleb, the young son of a chieftain, and the two forge a tentative secret friendship that draws each into the alien world of the other. Bethia's minister father tries to convert the Wampanoag, awakening the wrath of the tribe's shaman, against whose magic he must test his own beliefs. One of his projects becomes the education of Caleb, and a year later, Caleb is in Cambridge, studying Latin and Greek among the colonial elite. There, Bethia finds herself reluctantly indentured as a housekeeper and can closely observe Caleb's crossing of cultures. Like Brooks's beloved narrator Anna in Year of Wonders , Bethia proves an emotionally irresistible guide to the wilds of Martha's Vineyard and the intimate spaces of the human heart. Evocative and utterly absorbing, Caleb's Crossing further establishes Brooks's place as one of our most acclaimed novelists. Watch a Video

First Live Link Up For 'Chernobyl' Town
Story supplied by LU Press Office
Children in a town affected by the Chernobyl nuclear disaster will talk to pupils in England in a "TV" broadcast using wireless broadband installed by Lancaster University.
For the town of Slavutych in the Ukraine, it will be the first live link up with the outside world over the internet and is part of a £750,000 Government project to regenerate the area.
Professor Garik Markarian of the Department of Communication Systems at InfoLab21 helped to design the wireless broadband system.
He said: "We asked people what they wanted from the internet and it was a long list from banking to publishing. This system has created wireless hotspots around Slavutych as well as a public access centre for those who do not have computers at home. The work was carried out by a local company with the value-added services such as video broadcast being delivered by Rinicom, a technology company in Lancaster."
The official handover of the network from the UK Government to the town on March 27 will also see a Government minister in London take part in the internet broadcast with the Mayor of Slavutych and the British Ambassador to the Ukraine, who will be standing in the town square by a monument to the victims of Chernobyl.
Slavutych was built after the accident in 1986 to house evacuated workers from the Chernobyl nuclear power plant and the abandoned town of Pripyat, but a lack of internet access has hampered economic growth. The town's population is expected to double as businesses take advantage of connectivity to create jobs.
Before the creation of the internet network, there was a limited dial up connection and difficulty connecting internationally. Staff had to post CDs of documents abroad or physically carry them between offices in Slavutych. Now the new Town Information Network will link up to 54 municipal buildings and revolutionise the way businesses and educational organisations operate.
Larisa Nikitenko, Director of the Slavutych Business Development Agency and local project manager for the communications project, said: "We expect the population of the town to double as businesses create jobs facilitated by the new ICT system, which will be operated by a "social enterprise", so the profits will go back into the local community."
The installation of wireless broadband is part of the UK Government funded programme to address the "Social and Economic Consequences of Nuclear Power Plant Closure Programme". This programme forms part of a much larger UK government funded programme to address the nuclear, chemical and biological legacies of the Former Soviet Union. Further information on this UK programme can be viewed online from: www.berr.gov.uk/whatwedo/energy/non-proliferation/global-threat-reduction/ar-english/page40802.html

NEENAH, Wisconsin (WXOW) - Galloway Company in Neenah is the largest producer of sweetened condensed milk in the nation.
It may look like a labyrinth of stainless steel, but inside these pipes and tanks some of the best sweetened condensed milk in the nation is being made.
Tim Galloway, CEO of Galloway Company says, "Our family's been in the business since the early nineteen hundreds, and in the fifties we purchased this facility, and my dad and my uncles and now the third generation are proud to keep at it."
Creating the highest quality dairy products is nothing new to the folks at Galloway Company. And neither is assuring their customers outstanding service.
Jerry Manderfield, Co-owner of Maderfield's Bakery says, "Ten years ago my dad suggested that I give them a call to see if they sell sweetened condensed milk, because we were purchasing it in the cases where you get six number ten cans and we started out just shopping around for something more convenient."
Galloway was happy to accommodate Manderfield's Bakery; supplying them with several five gallon pails of sweetened condensed milk every month for their baking needs.
Jerry: "And when I called them, they said we could pick it up, so we started picking up one pail at a time."
Galloway Company ships sweetened condensed milk to some of the largest confectioners and bakeries in the country, yet they still manage to make small business owners like Vande Walle's Candy feel important.
Tom Vande Walle, Co-owner of Vande Walle's Candy says, "It feels very special actually because if it weren't for them being willing to deal with some of the smaller companies around, it would be very difficult for us to get the products we need."
Quality, freshness and customer service set Galloway Company apart and keep loyal customers coming back.
Tom: "They're very helpful; service is awesome; product is number one!"
And that's Wisconsin Dairy News.
Galloway Company not only produces sweetened condensed milk, it also makes ice cream mixes for Wisconsin companies and national chains, and is a global leader in dairy beverage technology.

Lots of people feed homemade food to their dogs because they believe it's more nutritious than store-bought brands. But our pet pro, Luciano Aguilar, says homemade food could be missing vital ingredients every dog needs for good health.
"Yogi" and "Bear" made their America Now debut when they were just puppies. Their owner, Eva Morris, feeds them dog food she makes in her very own kitchen."When they were about seven months old, I decided to start making my own food for them. So I [use a] crock pot [with] chicken, peas, potatoes, carrots and water," Eva explains. "I thought, why don't I feed them organic food which I feed myself and my husband?"Dogs have different dietary needs than humans do. For example, Luciano notes that they need a lot more calcium."I went to the vet and I actually asked for her recommendations on how to do this and she recommended going and buying a store-bought, high-quality dry kibble to mix with my crock-potting," says Eva. Dogs need a well-balanced diet to be healthy and that means the right amount of proteins, fats, carbohydrates and vitamins."I noticed the lead ingredient in many dog foods is chicken, so I did some research and cleared it with my vet and she said the recipe that I came up with was good," Eva added. As for cost, Eva says her homemade mix usually costs about $2.00 a day, whereas a can of food is usually between $1.50 to $1.80. It's not that big of a difference, she says, for a higher-quality food.On top of that, Eva says it only takes her about 15 minutes to prepare the meal, and she makes a large batch once per week to feed to her boys."I think [it's made a difference]," she says. "I mean you see how great they look; their coats are shiny, their eyes are clear, they have no ailments. Every six months I go to the vet, have them checked out, and they give them a clean bill of health."If you want to try making your own pet food at home, just be sure to clear it with your vet first. Any sudden diet changes could be hazardous to your pet's health.
