STEM is part of an initiative the Boy Scouts of America has taken on to encourage the natural curiosity of youth members and their sense of wonder about these fields through existing programs. From archery to welding, Scouts can't help but enjoy the wide range of STEM-related activities. To support this initiative, the BSA developed the Nova Awards program so that youth members have fun and receive recognition for their efforts.
We live in a time of great opportunity. The spirit of innovation can help us overcome challenges and ensure a prosperous and secure future. To seize this opportunity, we must position ourselves at the cutting edge of scientific discovery and technological innovation.
Yet our country is falling behind in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. This is why many professionals and educators in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics believe the United States should do more now than ever to encourage students to enter STEM-related fields. These experts say our young people need strong STEM skills to compete in the world market. We must work together to cultivate the next generation of critical thinkers and innovators.
The hope is that the requirements and activities for earning these awards stimulates interest in STEM-related fields and shows how science, technology, engineering and mathematics apply to everyday living and the world around them. Counselors and mentors help bring this engaging, contemporary, and fun program to life for youth members.
There are four Nova awards for Cub Scouts, Webelos Scouts, Boy Scouts, and Venturers. Each award covers one component of STEM—science, technology, engineering, or mathematics.
For their first Nova award, Scouts earn the distinctive Nova award patch. After that, a Scout can earn three more Nova awards, each one recognized with a separate pi (π) pin-on device that attaches to the patch. The patch and the three devices represent each of the four STEM topics—science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
The Supernova awards have more rigorous requirements than the Nova awards. The requirements and activities were designed to motivate youth and recognize more in-depth, advanced achievement in STEM-related activities.
For earning the Supernova award, Scouts receive a medal and certificate.
All requirements may be found in the Nova awards guidebooks, available through the Scout shop—one for Cub Scouts, one for Boy Scouts, and one for Venturers. The requirements can be completed with a parent or an adult leader as the counselor (for the Nova awards) or mentor (for the Supernova awards). Each guidebook includes a section for the counselor and mentor.

quote:Problem is % of box office (90% first week of big movies) goes to studio. Theyd ban their flix from your theater unless you paid them per butt in seat.
quote:How do you think this would work out: How about for $200-$400 (still debating the price), you can receive a membership to a theater and see any movie without paying for the rest of the year? The exception will be midnight showings, where you got to pay and reserve upfront for that. It would make a hell of a Christmas gift for people, and I'd say most people see about 10 films in the theater. Do you think it could be profitable?

Never Summer and Firehouse Make Each Others Christmas Wishes Come True!
The Never Summer and Firehouse crews went over the river and through the woods to Grandmother's house. While there, they started talking Christmas wishes. Someone wished for a new beanie. Another wished for a snowboard. Yet another wished for a sled. Then, like it was divine intervention, they all looked at each other and in unison said one word…POW! Some wishes are too important to leave in Santa's hands. Some wishes you have to take into your own hands. Sometimes you have to make your own wishes come true. Here's proof that Never Summer and Firehouse make holiday wishes come true.
Merry Christmas!

Who will be the Newsmaker of 2012? WWD editors have chosen a host of nominees, from designers to industrialists, retailers to Internet denizens, all of whom have made dramatic headlines this year. The winner, chosen by WWD editors, will be published in our annual Year in Fashion issue on Dec. 10. We'll also compare our choice with the popular vote tallied on WWD.com.
TITLE: Chief executive officer
COMPANY: Pershing Square Capital Management
NOMINATED FOR: Ackman has become the highest-profile activist investor in fashion — cajoling, nudging and investing in the worlds of retail, beauty and real estate. He was key to installing Ron Johnson as ceo at J.C. Penney Co. Inc. and has continued to support the former Apple Inc. bigwig even as his overhaul of the chain grew more difficult than expected this year.
Ackman, who controls 25.2 percent of Penney's stock, acknowledged Penney's overall results look "terrible." But he has noted the chain's new in-store shops are outperforming the legacy business and described the transformation as "winding down the old JCP and using the cash flow from the old JCP to fund the growth of this [new] business."
If that weren't enough to keep him busy, Ackman also turned his eye to beauty giant Procter & Gamble Co., snatching up control of more than 34.4 million shares of the company, a 1.3 percent stake. "There's not a culture of efficiency," Ackman has said of P&G. "This is a very fat and bloated company." P&G has been cutting costs and focusing on innovation.
Ackman has also played matchmaker among the landlords, trying to orchestrate a Simon Property Group Inc. takeover of General Growth Properties Inc.

Longfellow Elementary School has participated in Walk to School Day for more than ten years and just joined Safe Routes to School.
For their Walk to School Day, staff at Longfellow Elementary increased participation by recruiting local celebrities to walk with the students on their way to school. Those involved included University football players, Longfellow Elementary staff, law enforcement officers and the local baseball team's mascot. The University football players wore their jerseys and met the students before walking with them to the school. Students who could not walk safely from their houses were dropped off at secure locations and walked to school from there, which still allowed them to participate in the event. Upon arriving to school, the participating students received a to-go breakfast, which also motivated children to participate. The principal at Longfellow Elementary also encourages physical activity by targeting each grade and providing them with the opportunity to walk with her during their noon recess. The large numbers of children beginning to walk to and from school required a change in the dismissal program, so cars are not blocking crosswalks or double parking when they come to pick up their children.
Although Walk to School Day only occurs once a year, Longfellow Elementary also participates in Walking Wednesdays and wellness activities, such as walking during recess. SRTS is run by the faculty and staff at Longfellow Elementary, and since they do not receive any state or national funds, they rely on volunteers from the community and local University. Infrastructure improvements, such as painting sidewalk curbs and cross walks and changing parking signs, have been made along the school route to increase the safety of the students. Additionally, two crossing guards assist children with crossing busy intersections.
The SRTS program at Longfellow Elementary has been one of its most important changes, and it has greatly aided in showing students and parents the safest walking routes to school. The program has encouraged more families to walk instead of driving to school. An estimated 75 to 80 percent of students participate in Longfellow Elementary's Walk to School Day, a significant increase since the program began.

The greatness of Hank Aaron
By Jeff Idelson
"Here's the pitch from Downing … swinging … there's a drive into left-center field. The ball is gonna beeee … out of here! It's gone! It's 715! There's a new home-run champion of all time, and it's Henry Aaron."
That was the radio call of Braves broadcaster Milo Hamilton on April 8, 1974, when Aaron broke Babe Ruth's long-standing home-run record. As important as that milestone was, and as immortal as Hamilton's words have become, that singular event is precisely why Aaron ranks among baseball's most underrated ballplayers.
Fans tend to remember Lou Gehrig because he died from ALS. Outside of Baltimore, Cal Ripken Jr. is remembered for "the streak." And Aaron is often remembered for the home runs, though he accomplished so much more.
On this — the eve of the opening of Hank Aaron: Chasing the Dream, our new exhibit dedicated to Aaron at the Baseball Hall of Fame — it is appropriate to consider the magnitude of what Aaron accomplished on and off the field.
Who is the all-time leader today in RBIs, total bases and extra-base hits? Hank Aaron. "The Hammer" also ranks second all time in home runs, third in hits and fourth in runs. He showed up to play every day, which is why he is among the top five all time in games played, at-bats and plate appearances.
Aaron's also a member of the prestigious 3,000-hit club. Take away each and every one of his 755 home runs, and he still has 3,016 hits.
Said teammate Phil Niekro of Aaron's home runs after No. 700, "It's like the sun coming up every morning. You just don't know what time."
Over 23 seasons, Aaron was great, averaging 33 home runs and 100 RBIs with a .305 batting average. He was a 25-time All-Star, representing his league every year except his rookie year and final season. Aaron was in the top 10 in the Most Valuable Player voting 12 times, winning it in 1957 when the Braves won the World Series. By the way, Aaron hit .393 with three home runs and seven RBIs in the Braves' victory over the Yankees in the Fall Classic.
Not only was he great, but Aaron was consistently awesome: He hit 20 or more home runs 20 times, drove in 100 or more runs 11 times and hit better than .300 14 times. He hit .303 with 385 home runs at home and .306 with 370 home runs on the road. His batting average never varied by more than 10 points, month to month, over his career.
The Hammer was raised in Mobile, Ala., a hotbed for talent. Hall of Famers Willie McCovey, Satchel Paige, Ozzie Smith and Billy Williams were all born in Mobile, a city with a population under 200,000.
Aaron accomplished so much with a quiet grace and dignity which he brought to the ballpark every day in a time of racial divide in America. He was also among those who integrated the South Atlantic League, and he broke Ruth's home-run mark in the face of intense hatred and racism. It's no surprise that his hero was Jackie Robinson, who paved Aaron's way to the way to the Majors.
Jeff Idelson is the president of the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.

French-Door Refrigerators
Which model of this popular fridge style is the best? Here, the complete results of our test, starting with our top performer and proceeding on down. Be sure to check out how the refrigerators were evaluated by the Good Housekeeping Research Institute. And keep what's inside your fridge in shape, too, with the best food storage containers.
Samsung Model # RF268ABRS, $2,499
Estimated yearly energy cost: $55
Capacity: 26 cubic feet
Also available in black or white for $2,199, or platinum for $2,399; lowes.com
Pros: Our top-rated model, the Samsung Model # RF268ABRS offers near-perfect temperature management and enough features to fit anyone's needs. Adjustable glass shelves slide out smoothly, making it easy to access small items hidden in the back. One glass shelf slides back and under itself, making room for tall items like wine and soda bottles on the shelf below it. Adjustable bins on the refrigerator door hold up to six one-gallon containers. If you entertain often, you'll love the two icemakers (one in the fridge and one in the freezer), the hanging wine rack, and the wide drawer that can accommodate a huge platter of hors d'oeuvres or even a sheet cake. When we stored Boston lettuce in the crisper drawer for six days, it emerged looking fresher than when it went in! The handle on the freezer door has a mechanism that makes it easier to open, especially when the freezer's packed to the gills. If you have small children or anyone with limited strength in your household, this will be a big bonus. The main freezer compartment has an adjustable removable divider, giving you maximum flexibility when you're loading it up. On the freezer door, there's a slot to store a 16-inch pizza, where it's easy to grab but can't get crushed. A call to customer service was answered in less than two minutes by a representative who was exceptionally patient and very helpful.
Cons: Keep in mind that the door is warmer than the inside, so it's okay for storing soda, but not milk or other highly perishable foods. We found the fridge shelves heavy and hard to remove and rearrange. You can't rely on the owner's manual to explain how the features work.
Whirlpool Gold ENERGY STAR Qualified 25 cu. ft. French Door Bottom Mount Refrigerator Model # GI5FSA
Estimated yearly energy cost: $58
Capacity: 25 cubic feet
In stainless steel only; whirlpool.com
Pros: Depend on the Whirlpool Gold ENERGY STAR Qualified 25 cu. ft. French Door Bottom Mount Refrigerator Model #GI5FSA to keep temperatures perfectly even throughout and stable over time. It was one of the few we tested with door temperatures cool enough to safely store milk, butter, and eggs. If your family consumes sodas by the caseload, you'll welcome the can rack under a refrigerator shelf and the caddy on the right door that holds a dozen cans and dispenses them one at a time, saving precious space on the refrigerator shelves. The fridge is easy to load with food, thanks in part to adjustable shelves in the refrigerator compartment, one of which slides out. The door shelves have removable, washable rubber liners, so you can keep them clean without removing the entire shelf. You'll find the controls on the door, where they're easy to access. We found the owner's manual exceptionally thorough. When we called the company's toll-free number to customer service, an agent responded quickly, courteously, and helpfully.
Cons: You'll find fewer frills on this model than some. While handy for storing cold cuts or cheese, the snack drawer doesn't have a temperature control and thus can't keep items any colder than elsewhere in the fridge. The crisper drawers are large, but they don't pull out smoothly and didn't keep lettuce perky for a full week. The main freezer compartment has a fixed divider, although in our tests we were able to easily store a 24-pound turkey.
GE Profile ENERGY STAR 25.8 Cu. Ft. French Door Refrigerator with External Dispenser Model # PFSS6PK
Estimated yearly energy cost: $58
Capacity: 25.8 cubic feet
Also available in black or white for $2,399; geappliances.com
Pros: The GE Profile ENERGY STAR 25.8 Cu. Ft. French Door Refrigerator with External Dispenser Model # PFSS6PK is distinguished by sophisticated styling as a result of GE's attention to fine details. If your family just can't get enough fruits and vegetables, you'll love that the deli drawer has a produce setting. The drawers glide out smoothly, an LED panel provides interior lighting, and the handles are rounded, elegant, and have good knuckle clearance. Plus, the fridge held steady temperatures, which will maximize the length of time it can keep food in good condition. With adjustable slide-out shelves, this unit's easy to load. One shelf even flips up, giving you room for tall items like a pitcher or a pineapple. In the bottom freezer drawer, there's an adjustable divider, which will help you make room for oversized or odd-shaped items. There's also a slot to stash a 16-inch pizza on the door. The manual contains excellent troubleshooting info, including a section to help you identify what sounds are normal (in case you're not used to the noises your new one makes). When we called GE's customer service line, we received a prompt, polite, and informative answer.
Cons: We did find that when the mercury climbs, you'll definitely want to turn the freezer controls on this model to a lower setting. While the crispers have humidity controls, we didn't find they kept leafy greens from wilting.
KitchenAid Model # KBFS25EVMS, $2,199
Estimated yearly energy cost: $50
Capacity: 24.8 cubic feet
Also available in white or black for $1,899; kitchenaid.com
Pros: With the water dispenser located inside the fridge compartment, the door is free from clutter and the overall look of the KitchenAid Model # KBFS25EVMS is sleek. We found it maintains steady temperatures throughout, including on the doors, so you don't have to worry about hot and cold spots or think twice about where you're stashing what. Two of the four adjustable glass shelves in the fridge pull out, making it less likely that small items like a container of leftovers or half an onion will get lost. You'll find the wide deli locker a great organizing tool, as it has an adjustable divider. Both the manual and customer service department aim to please and are successful at it.
Cons: Although the deli drawer has temperature controls, they weren't able to keep food much colder than the rest of the fridge. In the freezer you have to work with what you get although large, the compartment is not adjustable. However, we were able to fit a 24-pound turkey inside. The crispers glide out smoothly and are completely see-through, but they didn't excel at maintaining moisture.
GE ENERGY STAR 25.9 Cu. Ft. French Door Refrigerator with Icemaker Model # GFSS6KKYSS, $2,499
Estimated yearly energy cost: $59
Capacity: 25.9 cubic feet
Also available in CleanSteel for $2,499 or black or white for $2,299; geappliances.com
Pros: The GE ENERGY STAR 25.9 Cu. Ft. French Door Refrigerator with Icemaker Model # GFSS6KKYSS keeps safe temperatures steady over time, a big plus for keeping food fresh. All of the glass shelves are adjustable, and next to the icemaker there's a small shelf that flips up to make room for tall items like two-liter soda bottles. The deli drawer is temperature-controlled, so you can turn it to an extra-cold setting for storing perishables like meat. The freezer drawer pulls open easily and has a slot for stashing a 16-inch pizza. As the controls are right on the water dispenser, they're easy to access. GE provides an extensive use and care manual and top-notch customer service.
Cons: From shelf to shelf, you may find a variation in temperatures. The shelves don't slide out for easier access to items in the rear. While sponges retained a lot of moisture in the crisper, this didn't translate to long-lasting lettuce in our test. This unit feels the effect of heat and humidity, so on steamy days you'll have to switch to a cooler setting.
LG 3-Door French Door Refrigerator with Ice and Water Dispenser Model # LFX25975ST, $2,699
Estimated yearly energy cost: $58
Capacity: 24.7 cubic feet
Also available in Smooth Black or Smooth White; lge.com/us
Pros: With its integrated dispenser and LED interior lighting strip, the LG 3-Door French Door Refrigerator with Ice and Water Dispenser Model # LFX25975ST earned top marks for style. Not just a pretty face, the LG held steady temperatures in both the refrigerator and freezer, which is critical for keeping fresh and frozen foods in top condition. The inside of this fridge is a cinch to load, thanks largely to the four adjustable glass shelves, three of which glide out for access and one of which folds over to make headroom for tall items on the shelf below. Plus, the icemaker is on the door, not taking up space on the top shelf, so you have extra room for groceries. The water dispenser in the door is exceptionally tall, accommodating a glass or pitcher up to 10 inches tall. This unit's full-width pantry drawer was among the best at maintaining a lower temperature than the rest of the box, making it a great place to store meats and other highly perishable items. When we created a hot and steamy environment, the temperatures in this model didn't budge. In the bottom drawer of the freezer, there's an adjustable partition. You can depend on the manual to explain all the features and for a toll-free number to call for prompt additional help. The seven-year partial warranty on the sealed system (compressor, condenser, and evaporator) goes beyond what any other manufacturer offers.
Cons: While it has four crisper drawers that make organizing produce easy, they're smaller than those in other models and didn't keep lettuce looking particularly perky.
Jenn-Air Euro-Style French Door Refrigerator Model # JFI2589AES, $2,499
Estimated yearly energy cost: $58
Capacity: 25 cubic feet
Only available in stainless steel; jennair.com
Pros: The Jenn-Air Euro-Style French Door Refrigerator Model # JFI2589AES has a particularly sleek appearance, with its flat (nonrounded) doors and professional-looking handles. There are three pullout shelves plus one that can be raised or lowered by turning a crank so you don't have to empty and remove it to make room for taller items on or below it. A wine rack that can be installed below any shelf gives you additional space. On the right door, a special "Chillkeeper" compartment can hold two one-gallon containers at a colder temperature to give the kids easy access to the milk. A head of leafy Boston lettuce stayed fresh and crispy in a crisper drawer. The pantry drawer held steady just above freezing on the coldest setting (which will help keep meat fresh longer) and has an adjustable divider for separating raw meat from cheese and cold cuts. Remove the divider and turn the setting up a bit for storage of large platters when you're having a party. The controls, located up front on the icemaker, are easy to read and use. The Jenn-Air comes with an excellent use and care guide that's loaded with diagrams and provides a toll-free number for customer service. When we called the number, our call was answered in just over two minutes by a live person who gave us good advice for solving our problem.
Cons: We found it hard to organize food in the freezer, although we were able to get a 24-pound turkey in one of the bins.
Kenmore Elite French Door Refrigerator Model # 79753, $2,799
Estimated yearly energy cost: $58
Capacity: 25 cubic feet
Also available in white or bisque for $2,499 or black stainless steel for $3,099; sears.com
Pros: Temperatures remain steady in the Kenmore Elite French Door Refrigerator Model #79753 over time. All the shelves in the refrigerator are adjustable and slide in or out, giving you lots of flexibility when you're stocking a week's worth of groceries. Sheet cakes and party platters can be stashed in the pantry drawer, which occupies the width of the refrigerator compartment. When the party's over, put away the leftover cold cuts and cheeses and turn the drawer's temperature setting down to prolong their freshness. The icemaker's installed on the door, not on a shelf, so you have more room to accommodate groceries. When you pull on the freezer handle, the door tilts open. This lets you access the wire basket on the door without pulling out the entire drawer and gives you better access to the drawer's contents when it's fully open. The main freezer drawer has an adjustable divider, giving you lots of flexibility when it comes to arranging food. You'll find the manual is comprehensive and includes a toll-free number.
Cons: Temps do vary a bit from shelf to shelf. We found that on some they were just a tad too high for safe food storage (right over 40° F) even though the controls were set at the recommended 37° F you'll want to set it lower. Unfortunately, when we stored Boston lettuce in the crisper, it didn't last six days without wilting. Language barriers with the customer service department meant we had to place three calls before we were connected to the proper person, although ultimately got good advice.
Amana 25 cu. ft. French Door Refrigerator Model # AFI2538AES, $2,199
Estimated yearly energy cost: $73
Capacity: 25.1 cubic feet
Also available in white, black, or bisque for $1,999; homedepot.com
Pros: The Amana 25 cu. ft. French Door Refrigerator Model # AFI2538AES is loaded with family-friendly features. Its black plastic water dispenser, though not upscale-looking, resists fingerprints. The left door has built-in can storage for stashing a six-pack of soda without losing space on the refrigerator shelf. But best of all, it keeps steady temperatures in the fridge and freezer, which will help extend the life of fresh and frozen foods. In the crisper, a head of Boston lettuce stayed fresh and vibrant for the six-day duration of our test. Adjustable, slide-out shelves in the fridge make this model easy to stock. A beverage compartment at the bottom of the right door stays cold enough to store perishable items like milk or yogurt plus it's roomy enough to hold two one-gallon jugs of milk (a great feature for families with kids, making it easy for little ones to grab a drink or snack without rummaging through the entire fridge). You'll find the pantry drawer can accommodate a tray of hors d'oeuvres or a special-occasion cake. After placing a call to customer service, we were speaking to an extremely courteous, helpful representative in less than 2 1/2 minutes.
Cons: In the freezer compartment, there's a divider that can't be removed or adjusted, although it didn't prevent us from fitting in a 24-pound turkey. This model is one of the few in our test that isn't Energy Star, which means it costs about an extra $20 a year to operate.
Kenmore French Door Refrigerator Model # 78503, $2,599
Estimated yearly energy cost: $58
Capacity: 25 cubic feet
Also available in white or black for $2,299 or ultra satin for $2,599; sears.com
Pros: The Kenmore French Door Refrigerator Model #78503 doesn't fluctuate in temperature, which means foods will stay safe and fresher longer. All of the glass refrigerator shelves can be rearranged to maximize storage options. The pantry drawer, which hangs from a low shelf, provides a place to keep cheese and cold cuts and is a great organizational tool. The icemaker is built into the left door, freeing up valuable space on the top refrigerator shelf. The freezer door tilts open, giving you access to the wire basket on the door without the hassle of pulling out the entire drawer, and when you do open the drawer, it's easier to see and reach what's inside. In the freezer compartment, you can adjust the divider to accommodate your needs. Almost all your questions should be answered in the exceptionally thorough owner's manual.
Cons: We found great variations in temperature from spot to spot the top shelf was too warm for milk and the bottom one too cold for fruit. In fact, shelves near the top got as high as 45° F when we had the control set at 37° F that's five degrees above the USDA's recommended temperature for food safety. You'll want to select a lower setting to maintain food safety. None of the shelves slide out or flip back (to accommodate tall items). In the manual, there was no toll-free number for contacting customer service.
Haier Counter Depth French Door Refrigerator Model # PBFS21EDAS, $2,299
Estimated yearly energy cost: $60
Capacity: 20.6 cubic feet
Also available in Smooth Black or Smooth White; haieramerica.com
Pros: You get fabulous features in the Haier Counter Depth French Door Refrigerator Model # PBFS21EDAS, and temperatures stayed fairly steady over time. As only water is dispensed through the door, no shelf space is wasted on a bulky icemaker. The two glass shelves slide out, providing easy access to everything on them. Boston lettuce stored in the crisper stayed fresher than in many models. A wide deli tray will accommodate a party platter or a pizza box or serve as a place to store cold cuts and cheeses. With this model, you get two freezer drawers instead of one great for separating frequently accessed items from those that are in for a longer freeze (a feature generally found on fridges in the $3,000 to $4,000 range). The top freezer drawer is the perfect place to keep items you use often, like frozen vegetables, yogurt, and bagels. The bottom one is larger and has a removable and adjustable divider. When we called customer service, it took less than two minutes for an agent to get on the phone and help us out.
Cons: Temperatures varied from area to area and were particularly warm on the doors: Don't even think of storing milk there. Only water is dispensed through the door, so be prepared to go into the freezer when you need ice. The bottom and larger freezer drawer isn't as spacious as the bottom baskets on single-freezer models. This was the only unit in our test where the refrigerator and freezer controls were located inside the fridge and not on the dispenser panel on the exterior.
Maytag Ice20 Full-Depth French Door Bottom Mount Refrigerator Model # MFI2569VEM, $2,399
Estimated yearly energy cost: $58
Capacity: 25 cubic feet
Also available in white, black, biscuit, or monochromatic satina for $2,199; shop.maytag.com
Pros: The crisper drawer in the Maytag Ice20 Full-Depth French Door Bottom Mount Refrigerator Model # MFI2569VEM kept a head of Boston lettuce fresh and perky for a full six days. The built-in door organizer can hold a six-pack of soda. The digital controls are built into the ice dispenser on the outside of the door, so you can make adjustments without opening the fridge. The wide deli drawer is perfect for large trays or birthday cakes and has a temperature control that you can turn down if you're storing items that spoil quickly, like meats or cold cuts. On the door there's a "BeverageChiller" compartment designed to store two one-gallon containers, and it's cold enough to store milk, juice, and yogurt safely. The Maytag comes with a thorough owner's manual that includes a toll-free customer service number. When we used it to place a call, we were speaking to a courteous and informed person in less than 2 1/2 minutes.
Cons: This model was not as good as other models at maintaining steady temperatures. In our tests, temperatures varied, and the top refrigerator shelf was slightly above a safe temperature of 40° F with the controls set at 37° F. If you want to store milk on the top shelf, you'll need to adjust the settings, which could mean other foods will become too cold. You may have to play with the controls on the "BeverageChiller" compartments on the coldest setting, the section dipped well below freezing. Dividers in the freezer compartment can't be adjusted. While we were able to get in a 24-pound turkey, if you frequently store very large or unusually shaped items, this could be a handicap.

From a believer's point of view, especially a Reformed Christian believer's point of view, the main theme of the bible boils down essentially to this:
God placed Adam and Eve on Earth, in a beautiful place; but a testing ground. Adam and Eve had the full freedom to do anything they chose, but for 2 things. Don't eat from the tree of life, and don't eat from the tree of knowledge. God watched to see if Adam and Eve could live with 99% freedom. The answer is no. Adam and Eve (and as ones who represent mankind perfectly, all of us) could not be satisfied unless they could do anything they wanted. And so it goes... they ate from the tree, commited cosmic treason, and plunged all of creation into sin.
Later, another Adam--the perfect Adam--arrived on the scene; God incarnate; Jesus the Christ. Christ, in a new Covenant with mankind, paid the price for our sins, died on the cross, and offered us a way out.
And Christians since that time, now, and in the future, are reborn and in us, the relationship God intended is reestablished. Christ bought us and paid for us. Just as in the old days a slave was bought and paid for and then obligated to serve its new master; so then are we, the Christian believers. We were purchased for the ultimate price, as slaves to Christ, and we are completely happy with the arrangement. We don't have utter and complete autonomy, nor do we desire it.
The unbelieving don't understand how someone could be a slave, without 100% autonomy, and be satisified. Not meant as demeaning, but, just like Satan in the garden, the unbelieving ceaselessly strive to make us understand that we could be happier, we just don't know it. If only we are freed from our Master to enjoy the benefit of full autonomy, then we would understand how much better it is to live that way.
But I, as one who transformed relatively late in life, have seen the situation from both sides. And I can tell you unequivocally, without any doubt whatsoever, that life is infinitely better as a slave to Christ, with 99% freedom and the assurance of immortality. The alternative, like a shiny red apple, may seem appealling; but we as believers know that the benefits full autonomy has to offer are fleeting and ultimately lead to death.

4.5 Best album yet 8eddieleaman | 17/04/2013 | See all 8eddieleaman's reviews (2) This album is really good, like really awesome. The loss of the farro brothers was more of a gain because an album written by hayley, taylor and jem is a lot better. The introduction of some new instruments (banjo) is more than welcome. And the addition of a choir on the track "ain't it fun" shows how much the bands developed since their first album (All we know is falling). This is my favourite paramore album, even better than brand new eyes ,which i though was a perfect album. If your not sure whether to buy this album, don't hesitate and buy it.
4.5 Amazing karpanraato | 09/04/2013 | See all karpanraato's reviews (2) It's not the same Paramore, it's better! They've grown up! They've evolved! They have new sound. They might lose some fans, but surely they will get new ones with this album.
4.5 PARAMORE MORE MORE HONESTBAZ | 08/04/2013 | See all HONESTBAZ's reviews (299) Some may argue they should never have changed their sound like this,but i think it works fine,considering you can tell it's still them.Clearly not a band afraid of trying something new whilst keeping some of what made them famous,band evolution done correctly.This has plenty of guitar thrashing tracks,with HALEY's vocals strong and clear,with enough softer tracks to change pace here and there.I thought this all came across as an album with a lot of thought behind it,creating rather than just plonking it together.I can see some wouldn't like this based on the recent songs being perfomed on shows and the single release,it makes them sound a little too poppy perhaps,but give these songs a chance and they really aren't that far from what they're known for and the boys sound as passionate as ever.The interludes work brilliantly,making this an album to stand out from their others,then the last track is one heck of a finisher,with false fade outs and crashing back in a rock frenzy,leaving you begging for more,more PARAMORE.
4.5 Simply Fantastic maxdeseta | 08/04/2013 | See all maxdeseta's reviews (3) Paramore have done an outstanding job with this album. 17 songs and all of them are amazing which is a lot more to say than for most albums out these days with 1 or 2 good songs.

Sears offers snowblowers to manage any weather
Shoveling snow by hand can quickly become obsolete when there are hundreds of different types of snowblowers that will fit the needs of your home or business. Using a snowblower instead of manual shoveling can both save time and ensure all the snow is properly removed and distributed so snow banks don't pile in your yard. Whether you're looking for a small, easy-to-store electric snowblower to remove light snow from a walkway or porch, or a heavy-duty gas snowblower that can make removing several feet of snow a breeze, Sears has the selection of brands and styles you need to choose the right snowblower. Sears also has all the snow removal accessories you'd need to go along with it, such as wheels, parts and engine oil. We also have accessories for smaller falls that don't need the power of a snowblower, such as shovels, ice melt and bare ground sprayers. Snow plow accessories can help you turn your ride-on lawn tractor into a plow that can quickly push large amounts of snow out of the way. Weather instruments can help you predict snowstorms, be alert to severe snowstorms and measure the amount of snow that falls. During those harsh winters or snow storms, you'll need quick access to your snow blower. Make sure to move your snow blower from your outdoor storage sheds to the garage, so you're not stuck shoveling because you can't get to your snow blower.
Choosing the right snowblower depends on a number of factors, including how much snow you'll be removing, how big the areas you'll be removing it from are and whether you live in snow- and ice-inclined areas. Gas snowblowers have powerful, self-propelled engines that pull in snow and toss it out a chute. Having a gas snowblower is ideal for those who live in climates that tend to get heavy snowfall, or for those who live in rural areas or have long driveways. Sears has models by popular brands that can clear up to 45 inches of snow. Some are push-propelled, while others are auger driven. So whether you're simply planning to clear your driveway when it snows, or clear an entire parking lot, we offer a variety of gas snowblowers that will fit your budget and snow removal needs.
Electric snowblowers, on the other hand, are typically used for lighter snow. They are quick, dependable snow removal tools that are a less-expensive option. Most units typically weigh less than 15 pounds and are best for removing snow from any area with less than 10 inches of snow. There are two different types of electric snowblowers: the electric snow shovel and electric snow throwers. Electric snow shovels are the lightest and cheapest of the two types, and they're best for smaller areas such as decks, porches and sidewalks. This type of device is typically best for removing less than four inches of snow. Electric snow throwers, on the other hand, are much more powerful and capable of removing up to 10 inches of snow. The snow throwers have wheels and a chute that will throw snow out of the way instead of pushing it forward. Sears offers a variety of different gas and electric snowblowers that are sure to fit you and your family's snow removal needs.

The Blues signed Murray for 2010-11, avoiding this becoming a "lame duck season". It seems like an odd time to do that.
But, I think it is positive. It will remove the subconscious pressure to gain every regular season point possible, that would have Murray using aged veterans as much as possible in competitive situations, and trying to sit on small leads way too early in games.
It will allow Murray to use the long-term strategy to prepare the players best for the best team performance in the playoffs, rather than just trying to win or, worse yet, "not lose" each game.
Perhaps young players will get a little more ice time now, and aged veterans will get a little less, than if Murray were to have had "the axe over his head".

The U.S. has more than 95,000 miles of coastline. The U.S. marine exclusive economic zone is the largest and arguably the richest in the world. Those waters support a diverse ecosystem, serve as a vital highway for waterborne trade, produce much needed food and energy and provide unparalleled recreation opportunities. Increasingly, however, U.S. coastal and marine ecosystems are coming under increasing stress from conflicting use of waterways, habitat alterations, overfishing and pollution. This course examines U.S. constitutional, statutory and common law sources that govern multiple uses of the coastal and ocean zone and its resources. Open to graduate and law students only.

HE AND HALL DID IT [Photo] W. H. Wright IN MEMORIAM 1876-1926 Mr. Wright who with Mr. H. F. Hall, organized the Mammoth Life [Insurance Company?] passed away 6 years ago Thursday, June 29. MAMMOTH INSURANCE COMPANY SHOWS SUBSTANTIAL INCREASE In the face of adverse economic conditions, doubts, fears and whatnots, it is encouraging and inspiring to know that for the first five months of 1932 the Mammoth Life Insurance Company [has?] been able to show an increase in [production?] of new business over the corresponding months of 1931. Already, preparations are being made for the celebration of the 17th anniversary of this great organization, and officials and all workers will have more to be thankful for this July 12th, perhaps, than at any other time in the company's history. Just seventeen years ago, the Mammoth was launched, conceived in the minds of its founders to give service to Negroes, to give inspiration for the formation of other businesses, to furnish opportunities to the youth to learn business, finance, etc., and destined from the beginning to become one of the largest businesses of its kind [among?] colored people. The genius and ability of the founders, President H. E. Hall, and the lamented W. H. Wright, have been conceded in all business circles, and they are doubly to be commended for assembling a group of such able, loyal and conscientious men and women who help put the Mammoth program over [from?] year to year. Perhaps the most outstanding achievement of 1932 was the special production drive for new business, known as "THE MAMMOTH VICTORY MARCH OF 1932." This special effort extended through the months of March and April, and during this period nearly 8,000 new policyholders availed themselves of Mammoth Life protection. Another feature of 1932 has been the remarkable increase in business in the states of Indiana and Ohio. At the present rate of progress, soon Indianapolis, Indiana and Cleveland, Ohio will rival Louisville for Leadership. It is the opinion of the officials of the company that the record of the first five months reflects only in a small degree the success that may be expected for the year of 1932. In the words of the President: "Through many dangers, toils and snares, we have already come," and it is our belief the company will continue to go upward so long as it renders the unexcelled service the Mammoth has been noted for during these 17 years. WOMAN SHOOTS OFFICER WILLIAM SCOTT WHEN ASKED TO SURRENDER ----- He and Three Fellow Policemen Answer Call That She Was Shooting Up Place --- in response to a [call that?] [illegible] was being shot up at 412 Newton Alley last Monday morning about 4:30 officers William Scott, William H. Downs, Clarence Parker and John Walker rushed to the scene. Officer Scott knowing the place and the woman who was said to be doing the shooting called to her to surrender. The woman, Miss Emma Baines responded with a shot through the door which hit officer Scott in the right hip. Officer Walker immediately retaliated by firing one shot through the door and a brick through the window He then picked up officer Scott who slumped to the ground and rushed him to the hospital. Walker then joined officers Downs and Parker who were stationed in the rear of the house, the three of them covered the woman as she crowded behind an ice box with her pistol in hand. She was arrested and charged with shooting and wounding and shooting [illegible] without [illegible]. John Dixon who called the officers claimed that Miss Baines, who lives at 1730 West Walnut Street was shooting at John Henry Scruggs, a neighbor. Officer Scott who lives at 1715 Hale Ave., is getting along all right as the Leader goes to press. His condition was reported serious a few hours after the shooting occurred. K.S.I.C. Ready For Second Summer Term Frankfort, Ky. July 1--As the first term of the 1932 session of Kentucky State Industrial College Summer School draws near its closing days, preparations are going forward at a rapid pace for the opening of the second term registration, which will be held July 9th and 11th. Many students and teachers from all parts of the state, some of whom are among the 300 in attendance at the first term, have applied for admission. The people of Kentucky, says president R. B. Atwood, are beginning to recognize the importance and propriety of attending their own standard college. This is evidenced by the large number of graduates and former students of leading colleges who are taking courses here as the present time. The tide has turned homeward, observes the president. Students who have habitually gone to other states, both north and south, are now enrolling and applying for admission at Kentucky State where both their cultural and professional needs can be adequately served at minimum expense. Announcements for the second term suggest that those who plan to enroll would do well to send advance notice so that the best possible arrangements may be made to accommodate and serve their needs. July 11 is the last regular registration day. R. G. May Seriously Hurt In Auto Crash Mr. R. G. May, well known undertaker, was seriously injured Monday about 5:45 p. m. when his car skidded on wet pavement near St. Matthews and crashed into a telephone pole. Mr. May is in the Red Cross Hospital. Two bones in his shoulder were dislocated and he suffered serious cuts and bruises about the back of the head. His son, who was with him at the time of the accident, escaped uninjured. Baptist Missionary Women Hold Convention Here The 30th annual session of the Baptist Women's Missionary Convention of Kentucky in session at the Centennial Baptist Church, Rev. C. E. Starnes, pastor, brought a large number of prominent church women to the city from all sections of the state. The Convention opened Thursday morning and will close Sunday night. Mrs. Della M. Price is President. Among the women leaders are Mesdames Mary V. Parrish, Fannie Givens, W. P. Offutt, Carrie Brent, M. B. Lanier and others. The Convention was welcomed to the city Thursday night by Mr. I. Willis Cole for the citizens of Louisville. Among leading ministers of the Baptist denomination who addressed the Convention during its session were Revs. W. P. Offutt, Moderator of Kentucky Baptists, T. Timberlake, head of the State Missionary Department and W. B. Lanier, President of Simmons University. Jury Renders $2,200 Verdict Against Leader Editor A jury in the Jefferson County Circuit Court, Judge Eugene Dailey, rendered a verdict against the Leader publisher in favor of George Haendiges, white, of New Albany to the amount of $2,200 Wednesday afternoon. Haendiger was struck by the Leader truck, driven by E. T. Ellis December 12th about 5:45 at Seventh and Walnut Sts. Ellis had stopped at this stop sign at the south side of Walnut. He was driving north from Chestnut to turn left on Walnut for a stop at Mrs. M. M. Wiliamson's, Dressmaker, 707 W. Walnut St. After he started his car, turned left and got several feet from the intersection on his right side he struck Haendiges, who walked right into the car. As stated by a white witness Halendiges could not have been seriously hurt as the car was moving slowly. He was examined by a colored doctor and at the City hospital they said he probably suffered a fractured rib. Granting that he was seriously hurt, he absolved Ellis of the blame to a Courier-Journal reporter, (Continued on page 8) SUPPORT LEADER ADVERTISERS Colored Veterans In Bonus Camp At Washington Visited GOOD FOR 200.000 VOTES

Shimano R191L Road Shoe
The SH-R191L is a featherweight shoe developed for long training rides and elite races. This shoe has a rigid carbon sole for precise, efficient power transfer. Advanced, stretch-resistant synthetic leather upper combines with 3D moisture control mesh panels to provide premium support and breathability. Oversized, micro-adjust buckle and dual offset straps eliminate pressure points.
Great shoe for the price
Pros: Sizing is spot on for me and I haven't experienced any hotspots. Fits very well to a little loose depending on my socks. Plenty of space for toe wiggle with great ventilation. Heel material keeps it locked to your foot and straps easy to use. Shoe covering is a shiny plastic that is ridiculously easy to clean. Very stiff sole! a little hard to walk on, but thats not what its for. Markings on sole are nice to setup cleats. The little traction pads are in just the right place to keep shoe stable while walking. Buckle works great and is easy to use and undo. Cons: Carbon sole scratches easy from the pedals.

Red Velvet Lumbar Pillow
Nice pillow
I'm happy with the pillow overall. The red was a shade darker than my ideal, but all in all, it makes a great impact.
January 24, 2013
Bright Spot
This lumbar pillow is a great size to toss onto a couch or chair and add intense color without overpowering the furniture around it. And being velvet, they are soft and intense.
December 29, 2012
Not the color pictured
I ordered this pillow online due to the wonderful experiences I have had with all my World Market online purchases. I would not have bought this if I had seen it in person, but it has both good and bad points. First, the color is odd. It seems more of a maroon shade, but, being velvet, there are variations in that shade that go one way or the other with the nap so that, in some lights, you see the red that it wants to be. But its NOT bright red. A minus. Second, I love that the cover zips off and is washable. A definite plus. Third, the fabric, although 100% cotton, just feels strange, very stiff and sort of bristly. I'm thinking of washing it and using fabric softener to see if that helps. A minus. Fourth, the insert is firm without being hard which is another plus. Overall, I think I'll keep it because I would lose too much by sending it back, but its not my favorite piece.

Harissa en Tube - 150g
Country of Origin: France
Region: Languedoc-Roussillon
City / Village: Nimes
Harissa is a red chili paste originally concocted by the Berber people of Tunisia. In the markets there, you can find a multitude of harissa blends based on the personal style of the spice merchant. This particular harissa is made in France using a blend of red chili peppers, salt, garlic, coriander and caraway.
Harissa is a key ingredient in North African cuisine where it is traditionally used in couscous, rubbed on lamb or on grilled vegetables. This harissa is not particularly hot and since it is in a tube, it can be used again and again. Once open, we recommend keeping it in your refrigerator.

Your body needs cholesterol to work properly. But extra cholesterol in your blood causes deposits to build up on the inside walls of your blood vessels. This buildup is called plaque. It narrows your arteries and reduces or stops blood flow. This can lead to heart attack, stroke, or narrowed arteries elsewhere in your body.
Statins are thought to be the best drugs to use for people who need medicines to lower their cholesterol.
Hyperlipidemia - drug treatment; Hardening of the arteries - statin
Statins reduce your risk of heart disease, stroke, and other related problems. They do this by lowering your LDL (bad) cholesterol.
Most of the time you will need to take this medicine for the rest of your life. In some cases, changing your lifestyle and losing extra weight may allow you to stop taking this medicine.
Having low LDL and total cholesterol reduces your risk of heart disease. But not everyone needs to take statins to lower cholesterol.
Your doctor will decide on your treatment based on:
You should take statins if you are 75 or younger, and you have a history of:
If you are older than 75, your doctor may prescribe a lower dose of a statin. This may help lessen possible side effects.
You should take statins if your LDL cholesterol is 190 mg/dL or higher. You should also take statins if your LDL cholesterol is between 70 and 189 mg/dL and:
You and your doctor may want to consider statins if your LDL cholesterol is 70 to 189 mg/dL and:
Doctors used to set a target level for your LDL cholesterol. But now the focus is reducing your risk for problems caused by narrowing of your arteries. Your doctor may monitor your cholesterol levels. But frequent testing is rarely needed.
Adding other drugs along with statins provides little to no benefit in most cases.
You and your doctor will decide what dose of a statin you should take. If you have risk factors, your doctor may prescribe higher doses. Factors that your doctor will consider when choosing the dose include:
Higher doses may lead to side effects over time. So your doctor will also consider your age and risk factors for side effects.

For big effects, McKinney Architects relied on small moves, such as partially enclosing the entry hall (above) and rearranging the kitchen (top). Bold interior paint color choices also paid handsome dividends.
best feature: open floor plan
to do:
Perhaps no other house type has inspired as much love and loathing as the ranch. This descendant of Frank Lloyd Wright's Usonian houses became ubiquitous across the post–World War II landscape, and architects adore its open, one-story plan. But its plain exteriors and minimal detailing can elicit disgust among the general public. "We've never really warmed to the ranch the way we have with some other houses," says Marlene Heck, professor of art history at Dartmouth College, Hanover, N.H.
Most ranch lovers and haters agree on its biggest flaw: shoddy construction methods. In its heyday, the 1950s and '60s, builders emphasized speed and efficiency over quality, and today's aging stock shows it. "I often deal with quality-of-construction issues when remodeling a ranch house," says Georgie Kajer. "We think about how to re-pipe, how to rewire, the condition of the foundation. Slab-on-grade doesn't fare well in earthquake country—we have to look really closely for cracks." Some areas may have better-built collections than others—Heather McKinney, AIA, swears by the solid construction of the '50s and '60s ranch houses in her home base of Austin, Texas. Generally, though, this house type's drywall walls, aluminum windows, and slab-on-grade foundations in warmer climates point to a weaker structure than that of its prewar counterparts.
Cedar shingles, a series of French doors, and an added-on carport rescue this 1960s ranch house from aesthetic oblivion.

While Kajer and McKinney often deal with ranches that open to the back yard in Cliff May fashion, their colleagues to the north and east aren't so lucky. "Ranches in the Midwest were more about type than about site," says John Senhauser, FAIA. "You're not getting that indoor-outdoor exposure. We usually try to connect the plan more to the site and extend the living area into the yard." For Evanston, Ill., architect Stuart Cohen, FAIA, establishing a relationship with the back yard mitigates the ranch's infamously low ceilings. "What can you do with 8-foot ceilings?" he says. "The character of the space still has to do with that incessant horizontality. You do what Wright did: make the whole exterior wall glass. Then you promote the horizontal continuity inside and the relationship between those spaces and the terraces outside."
Adding vertical volume also helps. "We try to give the clients one tall space," says McKinney. Sarah Susanka advocates adding a few ceiling height changes to break the 8-foot monotony. Of course, some ranch remodels strip off the entire original ceiling and add a second story, which is only recommended if the owners want a completely different house to the one they bought. "It's hard to keep it as a ranch if you add a second floor," says Stephen Muse, FAIA, of Washington, D.C., who recently turned a ranch into a shingle-style house by adding a second floor and revamping the exterior. "You have to rethink the entire house."

Hands-down, the split-level owns the title of architects' least favorite house to remodel. "It's a difficult type to work with because it's so poorly constructed, and the room sizes are way too small," says Lane Williams, AIA, a Seattle architect who says he tries to avoid split-levels. This house...
The center-hall colonial revival is a lot like a well-made tuxedo: It outlasts trends and is perfect for formal occasions. But, as with a tux, it's unyielding for everyday situations. The living room usually sits too far away from the kitchen and dining room to serve as the comfortable gathering...
Ever since it rose to nationwide prominence as one of Levittown's main house types, the Cape's spare, one-and-a-half-story elevation has captivated home buyers. "People feel a Cape looks like home," says Sarah Susanka, AIA, author of the
Judging from the high percentage of architects who live in remodeled bungalows, this house type holds enduring appeal for the design-conscious.
Take a look at a typical foursquare floor plan, and its practical Midwestern roots become instantly apparent. No space is wasted on hallways or superfluous storage; each room leads logically to the next. This house type's simple, almost cube-like, form and its four-room-up, four-down plan hold...
Out of the millions of houses built in the United States from the early 1900s through the 1970s, the vast majority qualify as a classic builder-driven house type. American foursquares dominated the outskirts of cities in the late 1800s and early 1900s, only to give way to the beloved bungalow of...
