Potatoes cooked with schmaltz take on a crispness and satisfying flavor that vegetable oil can't produce. Meats and starches have a depth and complexity that set them apart from the same dishes prepared with olive oil or butter.

Chris Kluwe, Beautifully Unique Sparkleponies: On Myths, Morons, Free Speech, Football, and Assorted Absurdities
Hi. In your hands, right now, you hold the culmination of thousands of years of human intelligence, ingenuity, and brilliance. Now put your goddamn phone down and pay attention to my book.
What is in my book, you ask? (I'm really glad you asked, by the way, because now I get to tell you.)
Time travel. Gay marriage. Sportsballing. Futuristic goggles that DO NOTHING.
Tiny brags from my publisher, stuff like: "This is an uproarious, uncensored take on empathy, personal responsibility, and what it means to be human."
Excessive brags about myself: "An extraordinarily clever, punishingly funny, sharp-tongued blogosphere star, NFL player, husband and father, one-time violin prodigy, voracious lifetime reader, obsessive gamer, and fearless champion of personal freedom."
Oh, and also an essay on the Pope's Twitter account. Honestly, if that doesn't draw you in, there's no hope left for humanity. I also give my own funeral eulogy, in case you were hoping I'd go away and die now!
So please, join me in the glorious art of windmill tilting by reading this "collection of rousing, uncensored personal essays, letters, and stories" (I have no idea why that's in quotes).
Join the herd of Beautifully Unique Sparkleponies.
You know you want to.
Chris Kluwe grew up in Southern California among a colony of wild chinchillas and didn't learn how to communicate outside of barking and howling until he was fourteen years old. He has played football in the NFL, once wrestled a bear for a pot of gold, and lies occasionally. He is also the eternal disappointment of his mother, who just can't understand why he hasn't cured cancer yet. Do you know why these bio things are in third person? I have no idea. Please tell me if you figure it out.

Renowned neurologist David Perlmutter, MD, blows the lid off a topic that's been buried in medical literature for far too long: carbs are destroying your brain. And not just unhealthy carbs, but even healthy ones like whole grains can cause dementia, ADHD, anxiety, chronic headaches, depression, and much more.

He offers an in-depth look at how we can take control of our "smart genes" through specific dietary choices and lifestyle habits, demonstrating how to remedy our most feared maladies without drugs. With a revolutionary 30-day plan, GRAIN BRAIN teaches us how we can reprogram our genetic destiny for the better.

Alan Weisman, Countdown: Our Last, Best Hope for a Future on Earth?
978-0-316-09775-8, $28.00
In his bestselling book The World Without Us, Alan Weisman considered how the Earth could heal and even refill empty niches if relieved of humanity's constant pressures. Behind that groundbreaking thought experiment was his hope that we would be inspired to find a way to add humans back to this vision of a restored, healthy planet — only in harmony, not mortal combat, with the rest of nature.
But with a million more of us every 4½ days on a planet that's not getting any bigger, and with our exhaust overheating the atmosphere and altering the chemistry of the oceans, prospects for a sustainable human future seem ever more in doubt. For this long awaited follow-up book, Weisman traveled to more than 20 countries to ask four questions that experts agreed were the probably the most important on Earth — and also the hardest. Yet, he figured, we must try to answer them, if we want to have a world with us.
In Countdown, Weisman explores the complexity of calculating how many humans this planet can hold without capsizing. He visits an extraordinary range of the world's cultures, religions, nationalities, tribes, and political systems to learn what in their beliefs, histories, liturgies, or current circumstances might suggest that sometimes it's in their own best interest to limit their growth. He asks if we can determine how robust the Earth's ecosystem must be to assure our continued existence, and whether we can know which other species are essential to our survival. And, he inquires how we might design an economy for a shrinking and finally stable population, to have genuine prosperity without endless growth. The result is a landmark work of reporting: devastating, urgent, and, ultimately, deeply hopeful.
By vividly detailing the burgeoning effects of our cumulative presence, Countdown reveals what may be the fastest, most acceptable, practical, and affordable way of returning our planet and our presence on it to balance. Alan Weisman again shows that he is one of the most provocative journalists at work today, with a book whose message is so compelling that it will change how we see our lives and our destiny.
Alan Weisman is the best-selling author of The World Without Us, and an award-winning journalist whose reports have appeared in Harper's, The New York Times Magazine, The Atlantic Monthly, Discover, and on NPR, among others. A former contributing editor to the Los Angeles Times Magazine, he is a senior radio producer for Homelands Productions and teaches international journalism at the University of Arizona. His essay "Earth Without People" (Discover magazine, February 2005), on which The World Without Us expands, was selected for Best American Science Writing 2006, and he is interviewed frequently about how humans exist on the planet.

Daniel Woodrell, The Maid's Version
978-0-316-20585-6, $25.00
Alma DeGeer Dunahew, the mother of three young boys, works as the maid for a prominent citizen and his family in West Table, Missouri. Her husband is mostly absent, and, in 1929, her scandalous, beloved younger sister is one of the 42 killed in an explosion at the local dance hall. Who is to blame? Mobsters from St. Louis? The embittered local gypsies? The preacher who railed against the loose morals of the waltzing couples? Or could it have been a colossal accident?
Alma thinks she knows the answer—and that its roots lie in a dangerous love affair. Her dogged pursuit of justice makes her an outcast and causes a long-standing rift with her own son. By telling her story to her grandson, she finally gains some solace—and peace for her sister. He is advised to "Tell it. Go on and tell it"—tell the story of his family's struggles, suspicions, secrets, and triumphs.
Five of Daniel Woodrell's eight published novels were selected as New York Times Notable Books of the Year. Tomato Red won the PEN West Award for the Novel in 1999. Woodrell lives in the Ozarks near the Arkansas line with his wife, Katie Estill.

Annie Jacobsen, Operation Paperclip
978-0-316-22104-7, $30.00
In the chaos following WWII, some of the greatest spoils of Germany's resources were the Third Reich's scientific minds. The U.S. government secretly decided that the value of these former Nazis' knowledge outweighed their crimes and began a covert operation code-named Paperclip to allow them to work in the U.S. without the public's full knowledge. Drawing on exclusive interviews with dozens of Paperclip family members, colleagues, and interrogators, and with access to German archival documents (including papers made available to her by direct descendants of the Third Reich's ranking members), files obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, and lost dossiers discovered at the National Archives and Harvard University, Annie Jacobsen follows more than a dozen German scientists through their postwar lives and into one of the most complex, nefarious, and jealously guarded government secrets of the 20th century.
Annie Jacobsen was a contributing editor at the Los Angeles Times Magazine and is the author of the New York Times bestseller Area 51. A graduate of Princeton University, she lives in Los Angeles with her husband and two sons.

978-0-316-23479-5, $25.00
It's the start of another school year at St. Ambrose. While the children are busy in the classroom, their mothers are learning sharper lessons. Lessons in friendship. Lessons in betrayal. Lessons in the laws of community, the transience of power…and how to get invited to lunch.
Beatrice — undisputed queen bee. Ruler, by Divine Right, of all school fundraising, this year, last year, and, surely, for many to come.
Heather — desperate to volunteer, desperate to be noticed, desperate to belong.
Georgie — desperate for a cigarette.
And Rachel — watching them all, keeping her distance. But soon to discover taht the line between amused observer and miserable outcast is a thin one.
THE HIVE is a wickedly funny and brilliantly observed story about female friendship, power plays, and the joys and perils (well, mainly perils) of trying to do one's part.
Gill Hornby writes a column for The Telegraph and is the author of several non-fiction books. She lives in Berkshire, England with her husband and their four children.

William M. Arkin, American Coup: Martial Life and the Invisible Sabotage of the Constitution
978-0-316-25124-2, $27.00
When we think of a military coup, the first image that comes to mind is a general, standing at a podium with a flag behind him, declaring the deposing of elected leaders and the institution of martial law.
Think again.
In AMERICAN COUP, William Arkin reveals the desk-bound takeover of the highest reaches of government by a coterie of "grey men" of the national security establishment. Operating between the lines of the Constitution this powerful and unelected group fights to save the nation from "terror" and weapons of mass destruction while at the same time modifying and undermining the very essence of the country. Many books are written about secrecy, surveillance, and government law-breaking; none so powerfully expose the truth of everyday life in this state of war.
William Arkin is one of America's premier military experts, having served in Army intelligence in West Berlin during the Cold War. Since then, he has written more than a dozen books, briefed hundreds of top military, intelligence and government officials, and been a part of countless exposés. Working for the Washington Post, he conceived and co-authored the landmark "Top Secret America" investigation, and co-wrote the national bestseller of the same name with colleague Dana Priest. He lives in Vermont.

Everywhere I go there is talk of babies and I constantly see babies. I have never noticed them so much before in my life! Did I do the right thing by leaving? I feel embarrassed that it bothered me as much as it did or I should say, that I am really embarrassed that my coworkers witnessed my reaction. Honestly, I didn't think it would bother me as much as it did, but it seemed my mind went back to when I announced my pregnancy to the group, which wasn't that long ago. It just made me extremely sad. I started going through all the emotions of loosing my daughter again and everthing that happened before and after her birth. What if I can't have any more children? I am just so exhausted. Some days, I just dont know how I even make it through and today is one of them. Thank you for listening.

2011 Meursault Poruzot 1er Cru, Domaine Jobard-Morey(6x75cl)
Very fine, subtle oak and vanilla cream with underlying flintiness and fresh ripe-pear fruit. Plenty of richness and body, but this is held in check by a constant thread of minerality running through the middle. Just when you expect the flavours to fade on the finish, they do the opposite and reach a glorious, complex crescendo. Magnificent.

The nonprofit Partnership for Public Service presented nine Samuel J. Heyman Service to America Medals (Sammies) at a Washington, D.C. gala on September 15 to outstanding public servants who are making high-impact contributions to the health, safety and well-being of Americans.
Celebrating its tenth anniversary, the Sammies have earned a reputation as one of the most prestigious awards dedicated to honoring America's civil servants.
The top medal, Federal Employee of the Year, was presented to research hydrologist Paul Hsieh of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) for providing critical information to help end the worst oil spill in the nation's history, the 2010 rupture of the Deepwater Horizon oil well in the Gulf of Mexico.
Additional Service to America Medals went to federal workers whose achievements range from caring for our veterans to diagnosing mysterious diseases for long suffering patients.
Medalists come from the Departments of Justice, Treasury and Veterans Affairs, as well as the National Institutes of Health, NASA, Social Security Administration and USGS. They work in Washington, D.C., Baltimore, Houston and Menlo Park, Calif.
"The recipients of the Service to America Medals showcase the good that government does, which positively affects our lives every day," said Max Stier, Partnership for Public Service president and CEO. "By honoring these outstanding public servants, we give America's unsung heroes the long overdue thanks and recognition they deserve."
The 2011 Samuel J. Heyman Service to America Medals recipients are:
The Service to America Medals are presented annually by the nonprofit, nonpartisan Partnership for Public Service to celebrate excellence in our federal civil service.

We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves by Karen Joy Fowler
We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves by Karen Joy Fowler
We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves is a psychological novel that touches on family, communication, lack of family communication, and memory. It is a story of loss, and the possibilities of recovery from loss, even if only partial.
The narrator, Rosemary, admits that her recollection is not perfect, but her account of her family's disruption from losing her sister pulled me through the story in less than a day and a half. The story starts in the middle, just as garrulous little Rosemary was advised to start in the middle during her childhood (by adults who wanted to hear less). Starting in the middle allows her to hide the most important detail about Fern, her lost sister, from us until the middle of the book. The story was well written, with some clever language (facilitated by setting up the narrator as a clever, if damaged, person) without obviously contrived punchlines. The supporting characters range from her psychology professor father to her brother (wanted by the F.B.I.) to a wild-child theatre major with whom she gets arrested on the day they meet. Adding a few props, like a ventriloquist's dummy in a suitcase that should have contained diaries from Rosemary's mother, packs the clown car for an interesting ride.
I am now going to look for Fowler's other books. I have seen the most press on The Jane Austen Book Club, so I may try that next.

The E-Signature Law; issued in 2004 and established the Information Technology Industry Development Agency (ITIDA), supports Egypt's e-commerce industry by securing the Internet as a legally viable medium for online financial activities. Simply put, this means that a buyer does not need to physically sign a document when entering into a transaction online.On 28th September 2009, Prime Minister Dr. Ahmed Nazif witnessed the launch of E-Signature services for the public and private sectors and the inauguration of the Egyptian Root-CA trust center, marking the e-signature authorization by the Information Technology Industry Development Agency (ITIDA).ITIDA, as a supervisory body for electronic signature, operates the Egyptian Root CA and the E-Signature CA Licensing Unit.
The Egyptian Root CA
As one of its primary roles, ITIDA operates the Egyptian Root Certificate Authority (Root CA) according to the highest security standards offering a continuous 24/7 operation (based on the means of a second hot-standby Trust Center).The national Root CA is the trust anchor for all relying parties within that domain. Furthermore, the national Root CA is the legal and national base upon which all IT applications, E-commerce and E-business Transactions will be affected. It also provides cross recognition across Egypt and to other Root CAs in different nations.
The national Root CA key functions:
Issues digital certificates for licensed certificate service providers and publish them to be available 24/7.
Helps to prove or deny the validity of digital certificates of the licensed Certificate authorities.
Root CA has the rights to stop the operation of any CA in case of security deficiencies.
Managing the CRL containing revoked CSPs certificates.
Working as TSA (Time Stamping Authority) for CSPs.
Backing up E-Signature creation data of Certificate Service Provider to maintain the availability of the service in case of Failure or Bankruptcy of one of the CSP's.
Responsible for interoperability between other countries providing a point of communication between Egypt and other nations in relations of E-signature.
Auditing all the PKI technical requirements of CSP's against the Egyptian executive directives and all the updated international standards.
Offers technical consultations to all the community in the field of Information Security especially in Public key Infrastructure.
The E-Signature CA Licensing Unit
The E-Signature CA Licensing Unit is set up to audit the E-Signature service providers companies in Egypt, address complaints, offer technical counseling in collaboration with the Root CA panel, and mediate between disputing parties, forming part of the ICT Industry ombudsman within ITIDA framework.The E-Signature CA Licensing Unit licenses a limited number of E-Signature Service Providers (ESPs) in Egypt, in order to provide e-signature services, issue digital certificates and corresponding electronic signatures, for citizens and private sector companies' clients. The CA Licensing Unit's main functions include managing the application process of CSPs, and implementing processes for licensing and auditing the providers.
E-Signature Licensing Activities:
ITIDA has been granting a license for four companies in 2006
In October 2009, one of the four licensed companies (SNS) was awarded the permission to start working as E-signature Service Provider.

Sociology studies societies and cultures within a broadly comparative framework.
The discipline illuminates the reciprocal relationship of human beings and their sociocultural environments and gives students a keener appreciation of their own social world, a less ethnocentric view of different ways of life, and a better understanding of the world system in which their society is one of many interdependent entities.
The knowledge and perspective of sociology provide useful approaches to the analysis of interaction, inequality, and institutions, as well as insights into many topics of personal relevance and contemporary public debate. Moreover, sociology offers practical skills that lead to employment in a wide variety of professions.

Borderites prepare for state battle
Blaine�s boys and girls varsity basketball teams clinched state tournament berths last weekend by winning their semifinal games at the Northwest District AA playoffs in Mount Vernon. The boys beat Meridian 64-59 and the girls downed Nooksack 53-43.
Though playoffs continue with district championship games, Friday night for the girls and Saturday night for the boys, with their first playoff win both teams guaranteed themselves a finish no worse than third and a trip to state.
The games were memorable nail-biting screamers played in the musty confines of Mount Vernon high school�s wonderful 50-year-old gym, a classic down-and-dirty wooden snake pit where the fans can make enough noise by stomping their feet on the hollow balcony bleachers to drown out a train.
The boys team went after Meridian like dogs after T-bone steak, relentless from the get-go despite coach Dan Rucker�s usual preference for a more deliberate approach. But there was no holding them back as they shot an almost impossibly hot 72 percent in the opening quarter blitzkrieg. Doug Goldsby opened with a driving lay-up and Ryan Alexander followed with another and then sank a trey. Meridian, scoreless for the first two minutes, finally broke the shut-out on a Cameron Gilmore three-pointer.
The floodgates opened at that point, the announcer theatrically repeating �GEELL-more for three� on each end of the court as their Gilmore (Cameron) and ours (Jake) traded three-pointers, scoring 23 of the combined 35 points in the first period between them.
Meridian, basically a good football team that plays basketball like a prizefight, began sending fouled Borderites to the line near the end of the first quarter. Blaine built its lead up to ten until a buzzer-beating three pointer sliced that back to seven. The good and quiet citizens of where ever Meridian high school actually is erupted at the dramatic shot, jumping up and screaming as if they�d all simultaneously sat on tacks
Jeff DeVries, Meridian�s leading scorer with a season average of 15.8 points per game, got nothing in the first quarter thanks primarily to Brendan Mulholland. The Trojan guard began finding his range in the second quarter, cutting Blaine�s lead to one. But Meridian was just as quickly pushed back as Blaine converted their turnovers to points, mostly on the rebounding talents of Ryan Goodwin. Then things got a little weird.
Blaine scored to make it 33-27 with just seconds left in the half, but DeVries had time to answer, charging down court and lobbing a desperate prayer of a long shot with an open-mouthed lunge like a bass going after a plug. It bounced on the rim five times, heads all over the crowded gym comically bobbing right along with it as the buzzer honked like a goose on steroids, the official at the button as hypnotized as everyone else until the ball finally dropped through the hoop and he lifted his finger.
�With prayers like that�..� said an exasperated coach Dan Rucker shaking his head, his voice trailing off as he led his team into the locker room. But the Borderites came back in the third quarter with their basic defensive plan working well, Mulholland staying on DeVries like a tattoo, leaving Blaine�s guards free to patrol and harass the perimeter. Rucker alternated Goodwin with the beefier freshman Joey Paciorek to mix it up in the paint. Paciorek�s junkyard dog instincts and hunger for the ball garnered six rebounds and eight points in the third quarter that pushed Blaine back up by ten for the start of the final period.
Blaine never let up on Meridian after that, and even when the lead narrowed to three late in the period the outcome was never really in doubt. �We�ve come through a lot,� said Rucker, �but we�ve emerged a better team with better leadership.�
Blaine�s Gilmore (Skippy), the league�s leading scorer and as certain a bet for league MVP as Blaine�s had since Luke Ridnour went south to Oregon, scored 23 points, plus five rebounds and five assists. Ryan Alexander dumped in 18 and Paciorek and Goldsby each had nine.
The boys play for the district championship at 8 p.m. Saturday at Mount Vernon High School against Bill Kelly and the Nooksack Valley Pioneers.

The first book in The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel series is reminiscent of Harry Potter. There is mythology and folklore like in Harry Potter, not to mention a lot of magic. Highly recommended for Harry Potter fans, especially fans of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.

At first I thought this looked boring, but when I read it it was amazing. One of my favorite books. I thought it was some boring history book on the real person Nicholas Flamel, but it isn't.

In Harry Potter's world, fifteen-year-old twins Josh and Sophie Newman would be regular Muggles, just a couple of normal kids spending the summer with their aunt in San Francisco and working odd jobs to save money for a car of their own, completely oblivious to any magical occurrences. Until, that is, a creepy little man leading an army of tough guys made out of mud bursts into the bookstore where Josh works, kidnaps the bookstore owner's wife, and makes off with one very particular book. Then Josh and Sophie are swept into a world of magic and legend because, to their surprise and awe, the bookstore owner is none other than Nicholas Flamel, amateur magician, expert alchemyst (meaning he can turns coal into silver, metal into gold, and brew a potion that results in eternal youth), and six-hundred-plus-years-old. The creepy little guy is evil Dr. John Dee and the wife is the good and lovely Perenelle Flamel, both just as long-lived and uniquely skilled as Nick Flamel. The stolen book, however, is more powerful than the three of them combined. It's the ancient Codex, containing all the magical and scientific secrets of the ages, and in the wrong hands (like those of Dr. Dee) it's a dangerous tool in the extreme. Josh and Sophie are more than mere witnesses to this sudden magical display in the middle of the city; the twins just might be the key to a legend that predicts the outcome of a coming battle between eons-old forces of good and evil. Time is running out and Sophie and Josh need some magical training ASAP. If more immortal potion isn't brewed soon, Nicholas and Perenelle Flamel will die and the good guys will lose a couple of very valuable allies. Throwing everyday kids into magical happenings is a common plot device by now, but by bringing old legends to life (including many much older than the fact-based fourteenth century story of Nicholas Flamel) and letting the reader view them through the eyes of a couple of kids who are very attached to their cell phones, ipods, and Internet access, author Michael Scott succeeds in breathing new life into a familiar tale. The pace is fast, the story is action-packed, the fantasy is inventive, and it all ends on a cliffhanger. This is a series that's still very much in the works; the third book was just released this year and the fourth installment is due in May of 2010.

Salvaged Sewing Cabinet Transformed Into MidC Storage
Where some see donation pile fodder, creative minds picture opportunity. Los Angeles designer, Julie Kim of Plic Design, shared an impressive before and after project, showcasing what one can do with a Salvation Army find and local resources. The midcentury sewing cabinet was reborn to see another lifetime as a beautiful display/storage unit for one of our favorite local bakeries...
Julie: I bought the sewing cabinet for about $35 half-off at a local Salvation Army, converting it into a counter for Proof Bakery. I kept the old and new distinct through materials: slender iron frame lifts the cabinet, exposes its top (now filled with new birch plywood drawers), and adds a surface for a see-thru glass piece. New birch legs with a taller yet still tapered midcentury profile replace the existing hind legs. The cabinet hides a trash can inside and one of the drawers contains a bus bin.
From my research on Craiglist, vintage sewing cabinets are easy to find, over-looked, affordable and full of potential. I outsourced the metalwork for the iron frame to a local fabricator in Silver Lake, Iron Works 21. Per their recommendation, I obtained the tempered glass from Atwater Screen and Glass.
Sourcing fabricators and materials in a city like Los Angeles can be a fun adventure. You drive past these small-scale manufacturing businesses every day and not know anything about the magic that happens there until you pop in. One word of advice: get more than one quote when working with fabricators, preferably three. Prices vary drastically from place to place so it's worth your time to shop around.
I completed the woodwork at Knowhow Shop LA, a fabrication cooperative
open for public membership and based just north of Downtown.
When deconstructing/reconstructing a piece of furniture, try to retain the existing "bone structure" and add or subtract where it makes sense - i.e., replace the drawers or cabinet faces, swap out the legs, or build a frame for the piece to sit in. Trying to pry off pieces of glued wood or cut into the existing furniture is a huge pain in the behind unless you are deft with a chain saw. You will invariably run into hidden screws, nails, or pin nails. I learned this the hard way.

How inventive. This looks great
wow it looks amazing!
Innovative indeed. Very impressive!
unexpected! looks great!
Great vision on that one.
Um, it looks completely unfinished. Is it done?
How clever!! Great overhaul.
Wow, a very cool piece, after. I never would have imagined it could look so great. I do agree that the hole pulls make it look unfinished. Maybe enlarging them, or staining the inside of the holes would help.
Fantastic job!
love it. Love it as is. love the hole pulls. love the finish. love the cute hairpin legs.
very creative looks great
This is amaZing but article is wrong this is not something just anyone could do with salvation army find. Does the empty drawer space bug anyone else? All that work that bit looks a lil unfinished no?
It looks unfinished to me, too. And I hate those hole pulls. My parents used to have one wall covered with a Lundia shelving system and the drawers and cabinets had hole pulls, too. This brings back memories of their dowdy 70s interior. I think it's a bit of a waste, since the original cabinet was gorgeous.
This is probably just me being a crazy person, but I'd probably try to shim the left door hinge to straighten it out. :)
Love the glass countertop, especially with the lovely way they cut little inserts into the wood top to hold the metal legs.
@ jade-york it looks like the empty drawer space is the opening for the trash can. I know that functionality doesn't change the loo, but this is definitely the best looking milk/lid/trash station I've ever seen.
Love the metal, and I wish this could be my sewing table.
Totally agree with others. Staining the light wood boxes and the inside of the cutout holes in black would unite the whole piece, tying in the iron frame making the piece look fantastic.
But a very clever and practical reuse, nevertheless.
Beautiful transformation. Love the ironwork .
I think it's absolutely hideous. The missing drawer pulls, unstained pull drawers, and missing drawer make it look half-finished.

On the economics calendar Wednesday, MBA purchase applications are due out and import and export prices will shed further light on Tuesday's trade data. However, all eyes will be on the FOMC decision released at 2:30 pm and the ensuing updated economic forecasts and press conference. Many economists are calling for the Fed to roll the purchases of the ending Operation Twist into QE3, thus increasing the size of the latter program. In addition, economists have been speculating that the Fed will abandon its target date guidance and adopt an indicator-based methodology, setting policy goals to line up with improvement in key economic indicators such as the unemployment rate.

Wins don't come easy in the NBA and no team understands that better than the Raptors (30-48).
Toronto led wire-to-wire en route to their 30th victory of the season, 101-98 over the Chicago Bulls (42-35) at the United Center Tuesday, but nearly coughed up a 16-point fourth quarter advantage to the short-handed home team.
Playing without a bevy of rotation players including Derrick Rose, Luol Deng and Joakim Noah, the Bulls ended the game on a 23-10 run fuelled by Nate Robinson, who scored 14 of his 22 points in the final frame.
DeMar DeRozan poured in a team-high 20, scoring Toronto's last and only four points in the final three minutes before Robinson missed a 41-foot heave that could have tied the game.
Rudy Gay scored 19, Amir Johnson recorded his team-leading 15th double-double with 13 points and 11 rebounds while Kyle Lowry added 13 points and 10 assists for the Raptors, who reached the 30-win plateau for the first time since the 2009-10 season.
For Toronto, the night ended on a somber note as rookie centre Jonas Valanciunas sustained a neck injury after colliding with Gay on the final possession. Valanciunas, the reigning Eastern Conference Rookie of the Month, was attended to on the Raptors' bench after the game before being fitted for a neck brace and carried off the floor on a stretcher as a precaution.
Fast Breaking Points
- Wild Finish
The Raptors sure know how to make things interesting. They have now played 34 games in which they've led or trailed by three in the final three minutes, ranking them near the top of the league.
It looked as though the team's starters -- most of whom have logged major minutes this season -- would finally get an early night's rest on Tuesday. After getting off to a strong start, the Raptors maintained their lead and extended the advantage to as much as 16 with just over eight minutes left against an elite, yet watered down opponent.
Without Deng -- who burned the Raptors in the previous meeting, an overtime victory for Chicago in January -- Robinson played the role of closer, as he's been known to do for the Bulls this year.
The poise and composure of Tom Thibodeau's team, even undermanned, was evident while the Raptors were stuck with the "here we go again" look on their collective faces. Again, execution escaped Dwane Casey's club down the stretch. They committed costly turnovers, gave up crucial offensive rebounds (Chicago grabbed four in the quarter, 13 in the game) and somehow managed to find themselves in yet another bizarre late-game situation when an inconclusive replay forced a jump ball with nine seconds remaining.
Despite the dramatics, Toronto was able to pull out the rare closely-contested victory but likely would not have been so lucky against the healthy version (as healthy as it gets) of this veteran Bulls team.
The Stat: The Raptors have a record of 13-21 in games they've led or trailed by three in the final three minutes
- Quick Start
Toronto wasted no time bouncing back from an embarrassing effort in Saturday night's 100-83 loss to Milwaukee. Granted the playoff-bound Bulls were short handed -- missing their three best players -- but give the Raptors credit for taking advantage and playing with a sense of urgency off the top, something they haven't done much of against undermanned squads this season.
Led by DeRozan's 10 first-quarter points the Raptors came out of the gate with a renewed energy, having struggled with slow starts of late. Toronto shot 62 per cent and eclipsed the 30 points in the opening frame for the first time since Mar. 8 against the Lakers.
Kyle Lowry had one of his better quarters in months, pushing the tempo (seven Raptors fast-break points in the period) and breaking the defence down, which resulted in good looks from long distance (3-for-7 from three-point range).
The Stat: Toronto had lost its previous six first quarters before outscoring Chicago 31-22 in the opening frame on Tuesday.
- Bounce back for Rudy
Speaking of bounce backs, Gay was in desperate need of one after matching a season low with four points on a horrific 1-of-10 shooting in Saturday's loss.
With 19 points on 6-of-14 shooting he did just that in a solid, yet unspectacular performance against the Bulls. Still slowed by a lingering back ailment Gay looked limited at times, particularly on the defensive end where he struggled to contain Jimmy Butler, who went off for a career-high 28 points on 10-of-12 shooting.
Gay did look more fluid on the offensive end and knocked down three of his five tries from three-point land, an area of his game that has been better, albeit inconsistent over the past few weeks.
- Tightened Rotation
Although 10 Raptor players saw the court at one point or another (Landry Fields was subbed in for three seconds, Alan Anderson played six minutes in the fourth), Casey mainly stuck to an eight-man rotation in Chicago.
In addition to the five starters, Quincy Acy (eight points, six rebounds in 27 minutes) and Terrence Ross (13 points in 18 minutes) received significant playing time off the bench once again. Both rookies had positive outings as Acy played with his usual high level of energy while Ross, who had been struggling, made an impact and looked more confident than he has in months.
Casey also opted to use John Lucas III against his former team in lieu of Sebastian Telfair for the first time in six games.
Curiously, Johnson -- who has had his minutes reduced to rest a number of bumps and bruises he's collected over the season -- played 45 minutes in a game of little tangible significance.
The team is calling Valanciunas' ailment a whiplash-type injury. He was taken to a local hospital where he remained overnight for observation. ... Acy picked up a technical foul early in the fourth quarter after getting tangled up with a Bulls player. ... Lowry's double-double was his 10th of the season. Toronto had lost five straight meetings with the Bulls prior to Tuesday's victory. ... The Raptors reached the 30-win plateau for the first time since going 40-42 in 2009-10, Chris Bosh's last season in Toronto. ... Chicago was also without Taj Gibson (knee) but Richard Hamilton (back spasms) was able to make his return following a 19-game absence. ... Carlos Boozer had a double-double of 19 points and 11 rebounds, also adding eight assists.
Up Next
The Raptors host these very same Chicago Bulls in the third and final meeting of the season at 7:00pm ET Friday evening, live on TSN2.
• Jonas Valanciunas is still wearing a soft brace after sustaining a flexion extension injury of his neck in Tuesday's victory over Chicago. Dwane Casey believes the injury is not as bad as the team originally thought. They should know more after the rookie centre is reevaluated this afternoon. He is expected to be a gametime decision for Friday's home contest with the Bulls, although he will not be rushed back.
• Terrence Ross tweaked his right ankle in what Casey called a "spirited practice" on Thursday. He left the gym hobbling with ice wrapped around his injured ankle. His status is unknown but will be updated prior to Friday's game.

Sheriff's son in gun theft case jailedStaff Report | February 05,2013The son of a member of the Rutland County Sheriff's Department who was charged last month with stealing his father's gun is behind bars after allegedly returning home Friday night with a handful of heroin.
Jaron Wilk, 24, of Clarendon, pleaded innocent Monday in Rutland criminal court to a felony charge of possession and misdemeanor charge of violating the conditions of his release.
Wilk was on release after pleading innocent Jan. 22 in Rutland criminal court to charges of burglary and grand larceny after allegedly robbing his parents' Clarendon home, stealing cash, checks and a .40-caliber Glock semiautomatic firearm belonging to his father, Frank Wilk Jr., a lieutenant with the Rutland County Sheriff's Department.
Jaron Wilk's conditions of release required him to maintain an evening curfew at his parents' home and to not be arrested again. But, according to an affidavit filed with the court, Friday night, police received an anonymous tip that Wilk was not at home, and when police responded to the residence on East Clarendon Road they followed Wilk as he turned into his driveway.
While police questioned Wilk, they watched him throw a small object, which police recovered from a nearby tree and found to be five bags of heroin wrapped in an elastic band, records state.
Judge Nancy Corsones rejected a request from Wilk's attorney for a 24-hour curfew, and instead imposed $15,000 bail.MORE IN This Just InA Rutland judge has denied Christopher Sullivan's motion to exclude an expert's testimony from...
