Sun-Mon and Wed-Thu, noon-11pm; Fri-Sat, noon-midnight; Tue, closed
Neighborhoods: Bay Ridge & Fort Hamilton
Whats up with the waiter! – Went there for my aniversary , I even invited my friend and his wife i spent there over $200.00 when the bill came i put a 40 dollar tip the waiter whos name is adan then started saying in a loud voice for all to hear that was his service so bad! i then ask what did he mean by that he then said if i could spend so much money on the food i should also on the tip! this waiter must of had a lot of kids in mexico depending on him to eat for him to be so bold . i will never go there again!
poor managment – I went to use the restroom and went through the wrong door to find a heavy set man using crack/cocaine in the kitchen where the food was being prepared.I asked to speak to the manager to adreess wehat I had saw and it turned out that the heavy set man I caught red handed with the lighter to his pipe was the manager,I was then screamed at as if I did something wrong and told if I didnt leave that the cops would be called on me.
Horrible – First of all that red salsa was watery and too spicey I guess they do that on purpose so you can buy more drinks. The food that my husband and I had was horrible, they gave him a dish that he didn't even order and when he mentioned it to them they refused to replace the meal. The dish they brought me was some sort of paella which was seafood with rice, the seafood was so chewy I almost choked on a shrimp. On top of all this they barely knew english if they did they would not have messed up his order. Then after this experience the waiter tried to make it up to us with a free cheese cake but even that was dry.
Great food and great service! – As a vegetarian who loves Mexican food, it is hard to find a restaurant that offers good options in Bay Ridge, however, at Casa Pepe I did! The first time I was there, I was greeted by the friendly staff, who suggested a nice guacamole to start, which by the way was made table side. Then, for main course, the server described a delicious, mouth watering meatless burrito. I loved the food and the mango margaritas as much as the delicious flan I had for dessert. Casa Pepe has become my favorite place. Every time I can, I cross the Verrazano to go there.
My favorite Brooklyn restaurant – Love the place; I go at least once a week. The Guacamole is made tableside, just to my liking. amazing margaritas and sangria. I always recommend the Paella and the pork chops. If it's a nice day, be sure to sit in the outside garden!
Don't try – Thought I would try out a new place-no way!!! I had reservations, they were lost! The sangria was ok...It was a super long wait for the food and the staff weren't realyl attentive. If you want real authentic Spanish food go to Sanchos. So much better and I am greeted each time by the owner, who couldn't be nicer. Even if there is a wait, you can sit at the bar and they are all really friendly-great QUICK service and tasty food.
Editorial Review – Garden dining and a fireplace set apart this Spanish and Mexican restaurant from its Bayridge peers.
Great customer service, extensive menus, delicious food – I've been to Casa Pepe many times in the past two months. I usually sit at the bar. On Mon.-Thurs. there's a Cantina Menu (at the bar). The Quesadillas del Mar are delicious. On the dinner menu, I've had the Shrimp Fajitas and the Salmon del Diablo -- both excellent. The Sopa de Mariscos and Fried Calamari are good starters. The bartender, Angel, is very welcoming/friendly and makes great Sangria (white or red). On Christmas Eve, I brought a party of six (relatives from out of town). We sat in the Garden Room next to the woodstove...very dark but romantic. Everyone was delighted with the food -- appetizers, drinks, main courses. Our waiter was Patricio and the service was excellent. They have brunch on Sundays from 12 - 4. I just feel very comfortable at Casa Pepe.
It was nice – Needs to improve and make it more modern. Starting to look old and not taken care of. The place is nice to go to but you can always improve. The food is good and the drinks are OK but on the expensive side. Oh yeah, It took a long time to find parking!
Enjoyable, but not stellar – The place was nice and my girlfriend and I definately enjoyed ourselves - but weren't blown away. There was a private party in the garden, which I'm told is rare, so the only tables for 2 were in the main room, it was so dark we could barely read the menu, but it was nice and kind of romantic. The abience is very nice. My girlfriend had a margarita she said was ok, and I had a soda that somehow tasted terrible, like the line was dirty. The chips were tasty...the steak and chicken fajitahs were good, a bit too much sauce on the meat for my taste. The other dish was arroz con pollo, the chicken was delicions and the rice was a greasy but good. The bill was low 50's, pricey for what we got. I had a good time and would go back, but won't rush to.

Valpo's Kenney Named Horizon League Player of the Week
Monday, November 23, 2009
Valparaiso University's Lauren Kenney (Mooresville, Ind./Mooresville H.S.) has been named the Horizon League Player of the Week after leading the Crusaders to a pair of victories last week.
The senior forward tallied a pair of double-doubles as Valpo defeated SIU Edwardsville and Colorado State to move to 3-0 on the year for the first time in program history.
On Wednesday against the Cougars, Kenney tallied 21 points while grabbing a career-high 16 rebounds, including eight on the offensive end to help Valpo to the 64-55 win. She made 7-of-10 from the floor and added a steal and an assist.
Sunday afternoon against Colorado State, she poured in 19 more points and grabbed 11 boards, including seven offensive caroms. Kenney made 7-of-8 free throws, dished out three assists and registered four steals.
For the week Kenney shot 50% (13-of-26) from the floor and 73.7% (14-of-19) from the charity stripe. She averaged 20 points and 13.5 rebounds per game along with 2.5 steals and 2.0 assists. She now has five career double-doubles.
Kenney and the Crusaders will put their perfect record on the line Tuesday evening when they take to the road for the first time this season, traveling to Muncie, Ind. Tip-off against Ball State is set for 6 p.m. CST.

New UC logo: Marketing blunder? Or is storm of criticism overblown?
The venerable University of California traded in its traditional logo for something modern, eliciting a New Media blast of derision. Some experts say the storm over the new UC logo will pass.
Los Angeles
The University of California – one of the most prestigious public universities in the world – redesigned its logo to stay abreast of the times and attract new students.Skip to next paragraph
Subscribe Today to the Monitor
But the move last week appears to have accomplished just the opposite, and university officials are trying to figure out what to do next.
The venerable university system has been hit with a New Media revolt that includes insults on Twitter, e-mail memes that mock the new look, Facebook spoofs, and calls for the new representation to be tattooed on its creator's foreheads.
Experts say the episode is a cautionary tale on the dangers of image and marketing changes.
Here's the background: for 144 years, the 10 campuses have been collectively represented by a traditional-looking, round logo with a "Let There Be Light" motto, a drawing of an open book and a radiating star.
The new logo is essentially rectangular, with a form that approximates the old seal's open book but which also could pass for a stylized "U." On top of that is the top half of the letter "C" which could be, depending on whom you ask, a napkin doodle, a bidet, or a banana label.
"This is an attempt to be revolutionary, but it comes off as insensitive," Reaz Rahman, a UC Irvine senior who started an online petition to get the university to reconsider, told the Los Angeles Times. "To me, it didn't symbolize an institution of higher learning. It seemed like a marketing scheme to pull in money rather than represent the university.
"New UC logo is an abomination," wrote one Twitter-user, according to the Times. "Back to the drawing board." Another tweeted, "Whoever signed off on this UC logo should be forced to have it tattooed on their forehead for life."
"It is everything our school is against," wrote Berkeley's Sheila Lam on the petition, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. "Might as well have slapped a McDonald's 'M' on top of it. It looks so corporate and it looks cheap.
It is the lack of a clear meaning for the redesigned logo that bothers some communications experts.
"This is kind of a classic branding screw-up where people who are designing it don't understand the web environment that they are moving into," says Mark Tatge, a communications professor at DePauw University in Indiana. "What are they trying to say? It doesn't do any good if people don't know what it means."
He says it is legendary in the ad business to list off the number of cars that have failed to succeed in foreign countries because the model name meant something else in the language.
"This is just like ignoring what the symbol might mean in another context," says Tatge.
UC officials counter that they trying to be cutting edge instead of stodgy to be attractive to students.
"We want to convey that this is an iconic place that makes a difference to California and that there is a UC system," the UC system's director of marketing communication, Jason Simon, told the L.A. Times.

Because autumn is the season when everything comes back to life, here are some five great ideas to try and revive your online shop's sales.
1. Analyse and monitor sales
Now, more than ever, it is the perfect time to have a clearer image of your business: volumes traded in different time intervals, certain product categories that sell, numbers of orders for each product and many other indicators. There are some payment solutions that offer reporting centres for your online store, maybe you should take a look on those as well. Beyond the numbers and other insightful information you can get some valuable data related to seasonality, buyers' patterns, purchasing habits and so on.
2. Find out what your customers want from you
Do you really know what buyers want from your online store or what satisfies/dissatisfies them most? Do you think your site needs a faster navigation or more methods of payment? You should certainly seek to improve the shopping experience of your customers and the best way of doing this is by testing, testing, testing.
3. Discover and analyse new ideas
Always keep an alert eye on your competition that is offering similar products as you are. You could find some new trends or new ideas that you did not thought of but might really improve your sales and not only. See what could work for your business, adapt to your online store, personalise and apply.
4. Offer promotions that bring the most profit
Online buyers are very sensitive to deals/coupons/sales. If you've decided to offer discounts on your site or think about offering discounts, do your calculations to determine the level of reduction that you can provide in order to keep your profit margins. Do not set up promotions based on figures from previous years or based on competition or you could start losing money.
5. Add a whishlist
This is the best way for finding out what products your customers wish to see in your online store. You could also reward very loyal customers with those new products at promotional prices and not only. There are literally many ways in which you could use that information for the benefit of your customers and of your online store…

Up to 1.7 million of the 4.4 million unauthorized immigrants ages 30 and under could potentially qualify for a new Obama administration program that goes into effect tomorrow that would shield them from deportation and enable them to apply for temporary but renewable work permits, according to new estimates from the Pew Hispanic Center, a project of the Pew Research Center. Announced on June 15, 2012, by U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Janet Napolitano, the new program, known as "Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals," potentially provides relief from deportation for eligible unauthorized immigrants who are ages 30 and under and arrived in the U.S. before age 16. The new Pew Hispanic Center estimate of 1.7 million potential beneficiaries is an increase over the estimated 1.4 million potentially eligible unauthorized immigrants reported by the Pew Hispanic Center (2012) in June, when DHS announced the new policy. Since then, DHS (2012) has provided more detail on program eligibility, publishing updated guidelines on August 3, 2012. As a result, the Pew Hispanic Center estimates that as many as 320,000 more unauthorized immigrants may be eventually eligible for relief from deportation. These additional potential beneficiaries are unauthorized immigrants ages 16 to 30 who came to the U.S. as children, currently do not have a high school diploma and are not enrolled in school. According to the updated eligibility guidelines, if these young people enroll in school by the date of their application, they could become eligible for relief from deportation.1 Some 85% of the 1.7 million young unauthorized immigrants eligible for the administration's new program are Hispanic, according to estimates from the Pew Hispanic Center. That is higher than the Hispanic share (77%) among the nation's estimated 11.2 million unauthorized immigrants.

In the world of combat flight simulations, the World War II and Modern Eras have been used so much that it makes one wonder if those were the only times where air combat actually occurred.
bitComposer Games
must have realized this and seized the opportunity to dive into the late 1960s by giving us
Air Conclifts: Vietnam
. While the Vietnam War may not ever have been very popular in the United States fans of air combat are going to enjoy this title.
I'll start out by saying that
Air Conflicts: Vietnam
is meant to be a pick up and play game. It is not going to set any records for historical accuracy or the amount of detail that one will see when it comes to cockpits and such. That's not to say that the visuals aren't good, because what I've seen of title in its current form looks great. The idea behind the game is simple: Play as a single protagonist who is well-versed in both fixed wing and rotary blade aircraft and dive into combat and work your way up the ladder while taking out as many "Charlies" as possible. Single and multi-player modes will be available, of course, but that's just the appetizer.
In the single player mode, it isn't just a matter of controlling the primary character, but there will also be members of a squadron at your disposal. Case in point, the player will have multiple aircraft to choose from as the game proceeds deeper into the campaign. Based on what the mission entails will make a player decide what aircraft in the squadron will get utilized. These aircraft will not just be AI-controlled either, as the player will be able to actively switch between them throughout a mission. The challenge, though, is that the player will need to keep the aircraft from getting shot down as there is a finite amount of pilots at your disposal. A nice twist, however, is that the player can opt to go on a rescue mission after a mission is complete and attempt to find any shot down pilots. There will be a strict time limit, but if the player is successful, then that pilot becomes available for use again.
I had hands-on for both the fixed-wing and rotary blade craft, and I can say without a shadow of a doubt that the helicopters are going to take some time for a player to get used to. It isn't just about changing throttle and banking right or left like a standard aircraft. Controlling with both analog sticks while attempting to shoot air and ground targets and maintaining elevation feels like trying to drive a stick-shift car for the first time. It's cumbersome, tedious, and will take some time to get used to. It has been promised to us that both craft are going to be needed throughout the campaign mode, and there will be over 20 aircraft to choose from that are accurate to the time frame, such as the F-100 Super Sabre, F-4 Phantom, and MiG-17 and MiG-19s as examples of friendly and enemy aircraft.
From what I saw at this event,
Air Conflicts: Vietnam
is shaping up quite nicely to be a great changeup to the standard era flight combat simulators. The game is slated for a fall launch, but no definitive date has been set by
as of press time. Rest assured, when more information becomes available, you can read it here on
Gaming Nexus.

Western clothing brands and retailers source from hundreds of
factories in Bangladesh. Two major companies, including Tommy Hilfiger / Calvin Klein, have signed a very strong fire and building safety agreement.
Others, led by Wal-Mart, have been trying to wriggle out of signing by
creating a weak alternative that was pure PR. But the latest disaster
has triggered crisis meetings and massive pressure to sign the strong version that can save lives.
Negotiations end in days.
JC Penney has been dragging its feet on factory safety ever since 2010 when 29 workers were killed in a factory where they sewed JC Penney clothing, trapped inside while a fire raged. Now that two brands - Joe Fresh and Mango - that are widely sold at JC Penney stores have been found in the rubble at the Rana Plaza building collapse where over 800 workers were killed last month, it's time to raise the pressure on JC Penney to finally adopt factory safety.
People are being forced to make our clothing in outrageously dangerous buildings -- sign on to make them safe, and share this page widely.

How immigrants are redefining 'American' in Southern California
An immigration sweep by the numbers
Photo by olongapowoodcraft/Flickr (Creative Commons)
Announcing a nationwide series of immigration sweeps this morning, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials tallied up the arrests of what ICE director John Morton termed in "3,168 fewer criminal aliens and egregious immigration law violators in our neighborhoods across the country."
But as it typically goes with these operations, which have grown larger in recent months as the Obama administration carries out its mandate to arrest convicted criminals, the breakdown of the immigrants arrested is complicated. Not all are high-profile offenders; in fact, not all are convicts.
Here's ICE's local breakdown from Los Angeles, where of the 206 people apprehended, 106 had convictions for serious or violent crimes, according to the agency:
106 with Level I Convictions (Convicted of serious crimes, such as homicide, rape, drug trafficking, threats to national security and other "aggravated felonies," or convicted of two or more felonies.)
85 with Level II Convictions (Convicted of a single felony, such as a property crime or extortion, or convicted of three or more misdemeanors.)
5 with Level III Convictions (Convicted of up to two misdemeanors, such as minor drug offenses and disorderly conduct.)
10 with no prior convictions

Crewkerne bursts into light for Christmas (From This is The West Country)

Crewkerne bursts into light for Christmas
8:30pm Tuesday 3rd December 2013 in News
FESTIVE lights burst into life in Crewkerne on Friday night as the town celebrated its Christmas extravaganza.
In Falkland Square, there were various charity groups and organisations running stalls to raise funds as well as the Scouts selling hot chestnuts and baked potatoes.
There was also a hog roast, which Barrett's the Butchers donated £100 to the Christmas Committee, and treasure hunt in the library.
Market Square played host to market stalls and in the Victoria Hall there was the ever popular craft fair with more than 20 stalls selling a wide variety of goods from jewellery to Christmas decorations to sewn and knitted goods.
Steve Carpenter was on stage at 6pm with the Mayor, Cllr Robin Pailthorpe, the Town Crier David Craner, and Jo Hampshire from the Red Cross shop to judge the children's Christmas Hat competition.
Members of Crewkerne United Dramatic and Operatic Society led the traditional community carol singing and Merriott Majorettes performed as they preceded Santa's sleigh along Market Street and into the Square.
When Santa reached the stage it was time for the countdown to the switch on, by which time there were well over 1,000 people cramming the Market Square.
Annette Roffey, of Crewkerne Christmas Committee, said: "It really has been a huge success and we would like to thank them all the volunteers who helped."

Here chicken thighs cook in a simple herb-infused tomato-and-wine sauce. The bone-in thighs give it plenty of hearty flavor, and since you cook them without the skin, it keeps the dish healthy. There's plenty of sauce, so serve it over pappardelle or brown rice. Steamed broccoli or sautéed broccoli rabe tossed with olive oil and a splash of lemon juice complete the meal.
Traditional pulled pork is barbecued, which gives it a smoky flavor. But the slow cooker happens to be the absolute easiest way to cook pulled pork—and you can get a hint of smoke by adding chipotle chile. Serve the pulled pork with potato salad, collard greens and grits. Or make it into a sandwich and serve it on a bun with coleslaw.
Like most soups, this Moroccan lentil soup recipe gets better with time as the complex seasonings have time to develop. Make it a day ahead if you can—this easy slow cooker/crock pot recipe variation makes it a cinch to get the soup cooking while you do other things.
Thai flavors—curry paste, fish sauce, lime and coconut milk—and a cabbage and cilantro slaw update this healthy slow-cooker pulled-pork sandwich recipe. A smaller slow cooker (such as a 4-quart model) is ideal for this healthy crock pot pulled-pork recipe. Look for red curry paste in jars in the Asian section of the supermarket.
Zesty orange and fragrant bay leaves flavor this healthy, saucy slow-cooker pot roast recipe. Stir in the olives at the end so they don't lose their brininess as this slow-cooker pot roast recipe cooks. Serve with a green salad tossed with lemon vinaigrette.
Chicken Pho, a classic Vietnamese soup, is a perfect recipe for a slow cooker. The chicken and seasonings of star anise, cloves and ginger simmer all day in the crock pot, welcoming you home with an alluring aroma. Serve with the essential garnishes for pho soup—fresh herbs, bean sprouts, chiles and lime—and let everyone top their own. Serve chile-garlic sauce for those who want more heat.
This healthy slow-cooker pinto bean stew recipe is bursting with veggies—onion, bell pepper, celery and corn—and topped with crunchy bits of radish and chile- and lime-flecked cornbread dumplings. If you're pressed for time, skip the dumplings and serve this pinto bean stew straight out of the crock pot, topped with crushed tortilla chips and a sprinkling of Monterey Jack cheese. Make sure to soak your dried beans before using them in the slow cooker to ensure even cooking.
Crock pots are making a comeback, and for good reason. They do all the work and give you all the credit with their saucy warming suppers. Slow-cooked dishes are ideal for making ahead and reheating, and leftovers can be enjoyed for several days. And, a slow cooker provides advantages for healthy cooking by stretching small amounts of meat with flavorful sauces and a generous portion of vegetables. Dust off your slow cooker and try a few of these easy, healthy crock pot recipes.
Under "All Recipe Collections: Health Considerations", a category for "low cholesterol" would be very helpful. Thank you.

You can omit the 3/4 cup of coffee when cooking this recipe for children. You can substitute it with a rich beef or vegetable stock.

I wouldn't think so. I have a degree in nutrition, so I do know that people think it "burns off" just like alcohol, when in fact alcohol does not technically burn off, it is an allowable amount.......or restaurants couldn't sell these types of foods. If you have ever eaten coffee ice cream at night you will know it will indeed keep you up for hours! The same could happen with your toddler, so proceed with caution. Recipe looks good, though!

Question: Is this recipe suitable for 2-3 year old children? My inquire is because of the coffee content.

Good episode, apart from the end-quite sad, but when i actually guessed the boy did it-and i was right!
I've been trying to watch this for about 4 days. I get to see about 2 seconds and it freezes. The ads work fine. Also other commercial players (Channel 4) work so why can't channel 5 get this sorted?
Stop copying NCIS there is only one Abbi, Ted much better than anyone even on the other 2 progs. Story lines getting a little weak though
Why can't I view this?!! So frustrating!!
Great episode, the last episode was way off normal standards. Warming to Ted Danson more and more.
OK, having disabled everything in the way of virus checks, link scans, firewall I still can't watch this! Will someone please sort this out?????????get 2 seconds of play followed by a minute wait - and it is not my broadband speed - this has the go-slow gremlins with a vengeance!!!
this never works

managed to watch about 5 seconds until it stopped. Didn't load at all. sort it out!!
NOT WORKING! as usual! With all the stops and starts - mostly stops it has taaken me just over 2hrs to watch. When are you going to put something on your website re this Channel 5 - not good PR. Please get it sorted - no other channel has these problems
That was quite a tragic scene at the end.

The Mid-Atlantic Regional Planning Body (MidA RPB) invites the public to provide input on the Draft Mid-Atlantic Regional Ocean Planning Framework (Draft Framework) by participating in a webinar on Friday, February 14, and by attending listening sessions across the region in the coming weeks.
The public is encouraged to provide input to the MidA RPB in the following ways:
The Draft Framework proposes a draft vision, an initial geographic focus, and draft principles, goals, and objectives. The MidA RPB seeks robust public input and comments on the Draft Framework, which will provide guideposts for how the MidA RPB moves forward with regional ocean planning. The Draft Framework is available for public review and comment on the MidA RPB website through April 15, 2014.
The MidA RPB will consider all comments received in revising the Draft Framework. The MidA RPB will discuss the revised framework during its in-person meeting in the Spring of 2014. Please check the website for additional information.
The Mid-Atlantic Regional Planning Body (MidA RPB) was established in April 2013 to enhance collaboration on ocean and coastal issues in the Mid-Atlantic through regional ocean planning. The MidA RPB includes state, federal, tribal, and Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Council representation and is eager to engage stakeholders throughout the regional ocean planning process. Please visit the website regularly for updated related information.

FEMA's Coastal Flood Mapping Website now LIVE!
FEMA provides flood hazard information to help communities plan for and reduce the risk from flooding. As part of that effort, the FEMA Region II office has initiated a coastal flood study to update the information shown on the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) for 14 coastal New Jersey counties and New York City. The FIRM is used to determine who must buy flood insurance and where floodplain development regulations apply.
FEMA now has a LIVE website, which will be updated as progress on the coastal flood study continues, will include links to the online preliminary FIRM panels (once completed), and details on public meetings to review those preliminary results.

If there's one thing Jim Cramer will be doing a lot of next week, it will be listening.
The "Mad Money" host plans to listen to several earnings announcements, as well as various industry conferences — both of which can significantly move stocks.
To start, Cramer looks forward to Salesforce.com's Dreamforce conference, an enterprise technology and cloud computing event, which will take place Sept. 18 - 21 in San Francisco. Cramer thinks the conference will likely move the stock, but how will he play it?
"On Monday, I would buy deep-in-the-money call options on Salesforce," Cramer said. "The November 140 calls look good, trading at $20 with the stock at $156, and bet on some levitation as the hoopla of the cloud takes over."
Cramer likes this particular options contract because even if the Dreamforce conference doesn't produce a pop, the timing of the contract allows time for the story to play out.
"We are now in the seasonally strongest period of the year for tech and this contract will let you play a high volatility tech stock right through it," Cramer added. "[Also] Salesforce reports the day of that option's expiration, and you sure as heck want a call to the upside on this one."
Here's a day-by-day look at the rest of Cramer's "Game Plan."
Cramer thinks AFC Enterprises is worth speculating on ahead of its analyst day on Tuesday.
AFC, the holding company for the Popeye's chain of restaurants, has produced consistent growth lately. Last quarter, it reported strong quarterly results, causing its stock to push higher. In turn, Cramer thinks AFC's stock could pop again when company executives share the company's story Tuesday.
Meanwhile, Cramer plans to monitor earnings announcements from both Federal Express and Manchester United.
(Related: 5 Stocks Set for Solid Earnings.)
FedEx, the global package delivery company, recently pre-announced a disappointing quarter. While its stock dropped on the news, it has since bounced back. If FedEx reiterates its bearishness, though, Cramer fears its stock could tumble again. Even so, Cramer said FDX is a buy on weakness because "it's too high quality for that discount to last."
Manchester United, Britain's popular soccer team, will report its first quarter as a publicly traded company. Cramer isn't expecting too much, though. He thinks MANU is "wildly overvalued" and too risky, making it a "sell, sell, sell!"
The Deutsche Bank Energy Conference and UBS Global Life Sciences Conference will draw Cramer's attention Wednesday.
At these conferences, it's important to hear from the individual companies, but Cramer also likes to gauge interest in each meeting. Cramer reported that the truck manufacturers and parts makers meetings are rumored to draw the most attention this year. That said, Cramer reminded his viewers that he likes Eaton, which does make some truck parts.
(Read More: 2 'Terrific' Buying Opportunities.)
Elsewhere in the market, Bed Bath & Beyond and Ascena Retail Group are scheduled to report earnings.
Ascena operates dressbarn, a women's clothing retailer. The company just bought Charming Shoppes, too. Cramer expects to hear things are integrating nicely, which would cause its stock to push higher.
Bed Bath & Beyond is going to be "tricky," Cramer said. Its results last quarter sent the stock sharply lower, so Cramer suggests playing BBY through call options.
"The contract I like would be the September 65 calls for roughly $5. If Bed Bath delivers, that stock could go back to its old high of $74 and change," Cramer said. "If it doesn't, the stock will most likely give up a lot of the hard fought gain back to $70."
Thursday brings earnings reports from Oracle and Tibco, both of which Cramer likes going into the quarter.
"Both software stocks have performed fabulously of late," Cramer said. "Both have reported good quarters all year, but only recently — in this more friendly environment — has the stock actually moved higher."
Restaurant operator Darden Restaurants will report earnings Friday. To Cramer, Darden is "one of the oddest stories out there."
"The last quarter and the quarter before that were really nothing to write home about, but the stock's been a horse in a large part because of its big dividend, which made it an ideal 'pay to wait' name," Cramer said. "I fear owning Darden into the quarter, though, if only because now the yield's only 3.65 percent courtesy of the recent advance and I don't the company's going to blow away the numbers."
Finally, KB Home is scheduled to report earnings. Last spring, it reported a disappointing number that Cramer says "almost stopped the housing stock recovery in its tracks." He doesn't think KB will say anything Friday that will justify the recent run in its stock, so he recommends investors use caution.

Take Time this 4th of July to Learn about SBA Programs & Initiatives for Veteran Entrepreneurs
by Rhett_Jeppson, SBA Official
- Created: July 3, 2013, 1:12 pm
- Updated: July 3, 2013, 1:12 pm
On this Fourth of July, as we celebrate our freedoms, I want share with you the ways SBA and the Office of Veterans Business Development are celebrating veteran entrepreneurs.
The Administration and SBA are committed to ensuring that the federal government continues their dedication to our returning veterans. As part of this, for the first time ever, in FY 2012 the federal government exceeded the three percent goal to contract with Service Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses. Small businesses won a record $12.56 billion in federal prime contracts – an increase of more than $1 billion from FY 2011. This dollar amount represents 3.03 percent of all federal prime contractor spending.
This news is truly exciting, especially considering that nearly one in 10 small businesses nationwide is veteran-owned. As a whole, these 2.4 million small businesses employ nearly six million Americans and generate more than $1 trillion in receipts. And, in the private sector workforce, veterans are 45 percent more likely than those with no active-duty military experience to be self-employed.
Additionally, SBA is working hard to improve access to capital for veteran entrepreneurs through the Veterans Pledge Initiative. With the support of SBA's top 20 national lending partners, and approximately 100 additional regional and community lending partners across the United States, SBA expects to assist an additional 2,000 veterans obtain loans to start or expand small businesses by increasing lending by $475 million over the next five years.
Veteran entrepreneurs can find more information about this initiative, and locate one of SBA's 68 district offices here. The site also identifies lending institutions participating in the veteran lending initiative. In addition, SBA has developed a checklist to assist veterans applying for access to capital.
And, as we look at how to help those who are dreaming of owning their own business, SBA is laying down the foundation to help service members transitioning from active duty to learn more about entrepreneurship and franchising through its Operation: Boots to Business Program. Many service members will apply the skills and experience they developed in the U.S. Armed Forces to their civilian communities as doctors and police officers, engineers and entrepreneurs.
Again, I wish you all a happy and safe Fourth of July as we celebrate our freedoms and the essence of what makes this country a great place to live and work as small business entrepreneurs.

Bartter syndrome refers to a group of rare conditions that affect the kidneys.
See also: Aldosterone test
Potassium wasting; Salt-wasting nephropathy
There are five gene defects known to be associated with Bartter syndrome. The condition is present from before birth (congenital).
The condition is caused by a defect in the kidney's ability to reabsorb sodium. Persons with Bartter syndrome lose too much sodium through the urine. This causes a rise in the level of the hormone aldosterone and makes the kidneys remove too much potassium from the body. This is known as potassium wasting.
The condition also results in an abnormal acid balance in the blood called hypokalemic alkalosis, which causes too much calcium in the urine.
This disease usually occurs in childhood. Symptoms include:
The diagnosis of Bartter syndrome is usually suspected when low levels of potassium are seen in the blood. The potassium level is usually less than 2.5 mEq/L. Unlike other forms of kidney disease, this condition does not cause high blood pressure and there is a tendency toward low blood pressure. Other signs of this syndrome include:
These same signs and symptoms can also occur in people who have taken too many diuretics or laxatives. Urine tests can be done to rule out other causes.
In Bartter syndrome, a biopsy of the kidney typically shows too much growth of kidney cells called the juxtaglomerular apparatus. However, this is not found in all patients, especially in young children.
Bartter syndrome is treated by keeping the blood potassium level
above 3.5 mEq/L. This is done by following a diet rich in potassium
or taking potassium supplements.
Many patients also need salt and magnesium supplements, as well as medicine that blocks the kidney's ability to get rid of potassium. High doses of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may also be used.
The long-term outlook for patients with Bartter syndrome is not certain. Infants who have severe growth failure may grow normally with treatment. Although most patients remain well with ongoing treatment, some develop kidney failure.
Kidney failure is a possible complication.

When your temp is low 30's or below, the heat pump will not do much, but at 67 degree outside, that is primo operating range, so something is wrong.
Diagosis of sealed systems is not amateur hour. At a minimum, you would need a set of gauges and a good digital thermometer to properly analyze your sub-cooling perfomance. This is the only true diagnostic for your system. But a good tech could interpret some of the more obvious symptoms. Yes, the reversing valve can be the problem. The fact that the small line from outside starts getting cool points to a problem. First thing you need to know, is YOUR system set up to energise the reversing valve for HEAT or COOL ?? ( on your thermostat, there should be a connection to a B terminal, or an O terminal) . A newer thermostat may just have one terminal, and a programmed set up determines how to handle the reversing valve. If you have a newer programmable, or even just digital, stat...get out the install book and check the set-up, after determining which system you have. I noticed you mention a newly installed stat, so that needs to be checked right away.
Reversing valves can get stuck of course, but a more common failure is the coil, which is replaceable.

90210 Original Cast1 of 11
Remember gossip sessions at the Peach Pit and the drama at West Beverly High? Those places were TV shrines for true fans. Take a look back at the '90s hangouts and the stylish new spots that the current cast calls home.Photofest
Brandon, Dylan, Steve and David 90210 Then2 of 11
Talk about a dream come true. Brandon, Dylan, Steve and David were the absolute hunkiest guys with their Body Glove surf boards posing outside of the '90s preppy pink and green beach club.Fox/Photofest
David, Bren and Kelly 90210 Then3 of 11
The Peach Pit was the go-to dive for the gang, where Nat served up a perfect burger and fries (and sometimes salads when the girls were on a new diet kick). We loved the '50s decor with those fun vinyl records on the wall.Fox/Photofest
BH 90210-34 of 11
In the later years of the show, Donna and Kelly's beach front apartment was the hang out for the crew and always seemed to have a rotating roommate whether it was David, Claire, and even that brief stint when Donna's boyfriend Ray crashed there.Photofest
BH 90210-15 of 11
Casa Walsh. Brandon and Brenda's house was everyone's home away from home with it's Spanish style architecture and modest size. Unfortunately for Brandon, the house was also the scene of his arrest for drunk driving.Photofest
BH 90210-26 of 11
Awkward twins from Minnesota no more. Brandon and Brenda own the halls of West Beverly Hills High School, which was actually filmed at Torrance High School about 25 miles from the 90210 zip code.Photofest
LIVING_90210_Now_Jessica-Lowndes,-Jessica-Stroup,-AnnaLynne--90210NEW7 of 11
The halls of the new West Beverly Hills High with their columns, molded archways and lush greenery would make Donna and the girls jealous of the new crew played by Jessica Lowndes, Jessica Stroup and AnnaLynne McCord.Patrick Ecclesine/The CW
Jessica Lowndes 90210 Now8 of 11
During a guest starring role, Jennie Garth returns as Kelly Taylor who opens up her digs to Jessica Stroup (aka Erin Silver). We love the built in bookshelves and natural vibe of the apartment. Guess Kelly has come a long way since her mom's big white '90s mansion.Patrick Ecclesine/The CW
Trevor Donovan and Tristan Wilds9 of 11
The newly revamped Beach Club has maintained the pink and green palm motif but in an island bungalo way, with a young hip vibe that the guys, Trevor Donovan and Tristan Wilds, are totally digging.Michael Desmond/The CW
Michael Steger and AnnaLynne McCord10 of 11
Just like the old days, drama at West Beverly is never M.I.A. While we're loving an angry AnnaLynne McCord, we're even more jealous of the vintage wooden pool table in the student lounge. Steve Sanders would have loved it too!Patrick Wymore/The CW
90210 cast now11 of 11
The future. With a crew like this, the infamous zip code is in good hands. Whether they're shopping on Rodeo or catching waves in Malibu, the cast of 90210 is sure to make a splash when they return this season on September 13th 8pm/7c on the CW.Patrick Ecclesine/The CW

Chastain, Brandi
World-famous soccer athlete and champion of girls' health, Brandi Chastain '91 will give the 163rd undergraduate commencement address on June 14. Chastain's selection to give the commencement address memorializes the 50th anniversary of women's athletics at Santa Clara, which the University celebrates this year.
Chastain is best known for scoring the penalty kick goal that won the United States the 1999 Women's World Cup and for her passionate celebration in the moments following. Her success earned her a spot as one of People Magazine's 25 Most Intriguing People that year, while the photo of her celebration was named one of the 100 greatest sports photos of all time by Sports Illustrated. She took home a silver medal in the 2000 Olympics and a gold medal in 2004 games.
More recent, Chastain co-founded the Bay Area Women's Sports Initiative in 2005 with a mission to create programs and partnerships through which women athletes bring health, hope, and wholeness to the community. The initiative offers a free weekly after-school program for elementary school girls to develop self-esteem and good health practices with mentoring from women athletes from collegiate and high school teams.
"Brandi epitomizes the world-class leadership and fortitude that every Bronco is capable of achieving," says SCU President Michael Engh, S.J. "She is a dedicated and disciplined athlete who is also committed to strengthening communities by advocating for and empowering young girls."
Chastain was named an All-American twice in soccer during her time as a student. She was also the assistant coach for the Santa Clara Broncos from 1994 to 2000 and is currently in her fourth season as a volunteer assistant coach.
She will receive an honorary Doctorate of Public Service.

Bruce, Lindsay
Lindsay Bruce '10 made appearances on this season's NBC reality show The Voice.
Her early accomplishments helped set her on a path that led to an appearance on "The Voice," but it was a long, sometimes difficult journey. At 13, the Santa Rosa native wrote a book and a song about having lost her uncle on 9/11. In high school, she became an international model and local celebrity. All along, though, she wanted to write and sing her own songs, so after graduating from Santa Clara University, Bruce headed to Nashville to pursue the one dream that still eluded her.
But for Bruce, the journey was a humbling experience. She was a struggling songwriter in a town where everybody is a struggling songwriter. For five years, Bruce developed her craft, learned what she could and performed in nearly empty halls. Always optimistic, though, she pressed on. A break came after three years in Nashville and at the very moment she was thinking of giving up on Music City once and for all.
"It was kind of a perfect storm of bad things," said the 25-year-old who made it onto one of the celebrity team's on The Voice, where singers compete for a recording contract. "My landlord was selling the house, my roommate was moving, the production contract I had was expiring and my job ended. I was basically getting ready to move back home."
In one of the crazier turns of her young life, she ended up auditioning for "The Voice" coaches on TV in front of thousands of people. Her journey to that point made her feel that she had nothing to lose.
