Are senior discounts a right or a privilege? This week, readers share concerns about shrinking, changing and vanishing discounts. Also, a creative reader offers her save-smart tip for cheaper meats.
Q: I went to the doughnut shop yesterday and requested the senior discount. To my surprise, they reduced it from 10 percent to 5 percent! Does each store determine its own senior discount amount?
Q: A restaurant we go to used to give a senior discount at age 55. Now they have a sign saying it is age 60. I told the manager that is not fair. He said sorry, but they couldn't afford to keep it at 55. Isn't there something that says they can't change it, since it had been 55?
A: Senior discounts are voluntary, not mandatory. Any establishment offering a senior discount is doing so to encourage future, ongoing business. But the store, restaurant, theater or other business is absorbing the loss created by the discount.
If a business is losing money or can't afford to offer the discount, the company is free to adjust the discount, age eligibility and, ultimately, whether they'll continue to offer a senior discount. In today's difficult economy, discounts help seniors save money, but the business has to sustain itself as well.
On another topic, one reader offers a great tip for saving on meats that she felt I overlooked in a previous column on meat coupons. I recommended looking for coupons for brand-name meats, as well as keeping an eye on your store's deli/meat counter for promotions.
Q: In your column about coupons for fresh meat, you forgot to men- tion that while coupons for fresh meat are scarce, the meat counter at the store will often put coupons on meat that is getting close to the sell-by date. I will buy marked-down meat items and put them in my freezer for later use if it's not something I can use right away.
Yes, meat is still the largest part of my food budget expense-wise, but at least this way I feel like I've saved what I can and we still can enjoy meat or poultry most nights.
A: I love picking up close-to-expiring meats at a discount, too. Two of my area supermarkets mark their meat down differently. One puts "peelie" coupons on the top for dollars off, depending on how close the meat is to the best-buy date.
The other reduces the price on the label. It never hurts to ask your store's meat market if there are certain days they drop the prices. Then you'll know when to stop by deals.

UNIVERSITY PARK - Dozens of TV crews, photographers and reporters packed the sideline at Penn State's practice field Thursday afternoon to get a first glimpse and first analysis of quarterback Christian Hackenberg.
But while all eyes were glued on the heralded freshman who's considered PSU's quarterback of the future, for now at least, Hackenberg is trailing junior college transfer Tyler Ferguson by a slim margin in what's shaping up to be a good competition in training camp.
Until Thursday, most fans probably figured Hackenberg might already have a stronghold on the starting job. He's the star recruit, after all, and Ferguson's commitment has come into question as he wasn't even around at the end of summer because he went home to California to be with his family and mother, who's battling breast cancer.

PSU coach Bill O'Brien watches QBs Christian Hackenberg (14)?and Tyler Ferguson during practice Thursday.
Coach Bill O'Brien put any assumptions about the competition to rest early on media day when he explained why, through three days of training camp, Ferguson is taking most of the first-team reps for the Nittany Lions.
"I would say after three days that Tyler is a little bit ahead, again, because he has knowledge of the offense," O'Brien said. "So sure, he's a little bit ahead. He takes most of the reps with the first team right now."
Right now, that's the key phrase.
With 25 practices to go before the season opener, there's still plenty of competing left in the quarterback battle.
Ferguson had the benefit of learning and working in the Lions' complex offense during the spring, while Hackenberg just arrived in late June.
"No doubt, going through the spring and 15 practices and all those meetings, it's just more volume of knowledge that [Ferguson has] had a chance to learn," quarterbacks coach Charlie Fisher said.
From the sound of things, and considering Hackenberg has only been around a short time, the fact that the competition is so close is a testament to how prepared he was coming into camp.
"Christian has come in here and really done a nice job," O'Brien said. "For a true freshman to come in here and do the things that he's done in the first three practices is really good to see.
"He's attentive. He must be staying up late at night studying the playbook because he's come from day one to day two to day three and improved, and he asks great questions in the meetings. So does Tyler. These are two talented guys."
Regardless of how highly touted Hackenberg was coming out of high school, O'Brien and his staff will name a starter based on merit rather than reputation.
"We've got to get past all the recruiting. These are two very talented quarterbacks in the Penn State football program now, and right now, like I said, only three practices in, I would say Tyler is a little bit ahead," O'Brien said.
Neither O'Brien nor Fisher would explain specifics about what puts Ferguson ahead or what areas the two will need to work on the most to win the job. They spoke mostly in generalities about the competition.
"Just consistency," Fisher said. "That's about any position, guy is consistent, makes good decisions, leads your team, shows up every day ready to go to work. We've got time to figure that out. That's our job."
Accuracy and knowledge of the offense "all play a factor," Fisher added, but he indicated some of the decision will come down to intangibles.
"There's other factors, too, in leadership and presence just all those little things that kind of go into making a quarterback a quarterback," Fisher said.
None of the Penn State players wanted anything to do with evaluating the quarterback competition. From running back Zach Zwinak to tight end Kyle Carter to safety Adrian Amos, to a man, each said virtually the same thing - as if it were rehearsed - such as, "You'd have to ask Coach O'Brien about that."
O'Brien said at Big Ten media days that he'd like to name a starter by the middle of training camp, but he shied away from any kind of timeline Thursday.
"I said that in Chicago," the coach said, "but like I hope you didn't mark it on your calendar, so you're all outside my office two weeks, a week from now or whatever. Just hold your horses."
One thing the coaches concentrate on with the quarterbacks is to "win the day," meaning in this type of competition each must focus on doing what he can to outperform the other every day.
"If you love football, you love sports, you're an athlete, you're a competitor, that's what you live for," Fisher said of the daily competition. "That's what it's all about. That brings out the best in everybody."
What exactly entails winning the day?
"To me that's consistency," Fisher said. "That's coming out there and running the operation, running our team, leadership, presence and knowing what to do every day. And then at the end, the consistency factor will play out."
For O'Brien, having a short memory and staying in the moment separates quarterbacks.
"I just want them to continue to grasp what we're trying to do and go out there and play the next play," the coach said. "Don't worry about the last play. Play the next play."

Eden overcame a slow start and swept Cazenovia in the Class C girls volleyball Super Regional at Jamesville-Dewitt High School near Syracuse. Hayley Ballou had four service aces and Heather Holscher had 13 kills for the Raiders.
"We were a little sluggish early on," said Eden coach Stephen Pierce. "We had just come off a three-hour bus ride, and the match before us went way over. So, there was a lot of sitting and waiting but after that the girls started playing pretty well."
Eden will move on to the state final four next Saturday and Sunday in Glens Falls.
Orchard Park coach Greg Lardo and his players knew all along they would have to get past Mercy High of Rochester to get to the state semifinals. The Quakers and Mercy had met three times during the season. Mercy topped OP in the Frontier Tournament, the Quakers returned the favor at the North Tonawanda Tournament and Mercy won a regular match at Orchard Park.
Saturday, Mercy swept the Quakers in the Class AA Far West Regionals at Webster Schroeder, 25-18, 25-22, and 25-20.
"It was a high level of volleyball," Lardo said.
FIELD HOCKEY: Claire Ahern scored on a corner five minutes into overtime to give Williamsville North a 2-1 victory over Fairport in the Class A Far West Regional at Penfield. Hannah Pilkey had the other goal for the Spartans (12-4).
Barker conquered old nemesis East Rochester, 2-0, to advance in Class C as Kim Zaepfel and Kelsey Blackley scored goals and Kaitlyn Mason got the shutout without facing a shot on goal. The Raiders have faced East Rochester many times in the Far West Regional and this was only the fourth time they triumphed.
GIRLS SOCCER: Ellicottville (15-3), which went to the state Class D semifinals a year ago, fell short this time. Kaeli Johnson's goal with 10:19 left in the game gave Jasper-Troupsburg of Section V a 1-0 victory over the Eagles in the Far West regional at Webster-Thomas, ending the season for coach Mary Neilon's team.
"It (the winning goal) came after a direct kick. There was a scramble in front of the goal. We didn't clear it and went right to her (Johnson's) foot, and she knocked it in," Neilon said.
Junior goalkeeper Liz Wendel made 14 saves for the Eagles.
"All three of our defenders (Sam Uhrinek, Amy Borowiak and Chantell Perez) played well," Neilon said.The other four Section VI girls soccer teams also lost to Rochester area opponents — all were shut out, too. Webster Thomas edged Orchard Park, 1-0, in Class AA. Brighton defeated Williamsville South, 2-0, in Class A. Akron had only three shots on goal in a 3-0 loss to Greece Odyssey in Class B and Holland lost to Keshequa, 2-0, in Class C.

I was good while it lasted. Thanks for running it as long as you did. Maybe someone should start up a freepenguins.tv site and only show Wings games...it would probably go unnoticed, and maybe even receive funding from the NHL.
I would love to see the results of this experiment!
Posted 21 February 2012 - 05:33 AM
No, it has technically been illegal to stream games online for a whwile. Big business whines to the government enough, and now these bills have been introduced to increase surveillance of everything online, not just websites like frw.tv. They needed an excuse to watch our every move online, and with broadcast companies or whoever bitching about copyright infringement, they have found their excuse.
For now. I hope his site survives.
Is it because of all this SOPA and PIPA and FIFA business?

I'm sorry to hear about this. I've been very thankful of your site ever since I started experiencing problems with drumnj's stream. There's no way for me to be able to afford the channels needed for watching NHL here.
Thank you for everything. It was great while it lasted.
I will exaclty echo this. I started lagging out terribly while watching drumnj's streams. Never had a problem before a few months ago, so i've been using your stream the last while. Could never afford to pay for cable, especially because I would only use it just to watch the occasional hockey game Thanks, was great while it lasted, have fun with the little poop machine

Of course, I don't have cable and Game Center won't help me since I live in Michigan, so I don't know where to find a stream to watch the game tonight. I wish you could just order certain channels ala carte. I'd pay 10 bucks a month for just FSD. I pay 8 for Netflix and find it comparable.

The 5 Greatest Unscripted Disasters in Pro Wrestling
#2. Hulk Hogan Story Goes Too Far and Runs Him Out of the Company
This is one of my favorite wrestling moments of all time, because there is so much bullshit going on here, it's almost impossible to tell what's set up, what's scripted, what's real, who's in on it, and who has been left out of the loop. It's just such a gigantic, twisting Inception-like maze of bad ideas.
It all starts with this match at WCW's 2000 Bash at the Beach pay-per-view. The story goes that Jeff Jarrett, the blond guy in the shiny shorts, was their world champion. He had a title match versus Hulk Hogan, and the creative team wanted Hogan to lose this one to help solidify Jarrett's character as a legitimate champion. Hogan didn't like that idea, so he invoked a clause in his contract that gave him creative control, effectively letting him choose his own storylines and match outcomes. In the wrestling world, he's known for this kind of douchebag self-promotion.
I had a couch that looked like that once.
After some back and forth, they decided to do a "worked shoot." What that means is that they would be making it look as if what was going on in the ring was unscripted and unplanned, even though every second of it totally was. So Jarrett headed to the ring, along with Vince Russo, the head writer for WCW, and proceeded to lie down at Russo's instruction. He then threw the belt at Hogan and said, "There you go. Pin him."
Hogan looked absolutely disgusted and asked for a microphone. As Russo walked away, Hogan said, "That's why this company's in the damn shape it's in -- because of bullshit like this." He then put a foot on Jarrett's motionless body and had the ref count it out.
This is actually how you get elected to office in Georgia.
Everything up until that point was totally scripted. See, people were for the first time getting into the behind-the-scenes stuff, so they all knew about Hogan's antics, and they knew about the bullshit politics that happen in wrestling promotions. So Russo took advantage of it. Here's where it gets crazy.
What wasn't scripted was that after Hogan had left the building, Russo came back out and went on a total fucking tirade about him. He laid out exactly what happened, including bringing up Hulk's "creative control" clause. He talked about the plans that they had to scrap because of it. He called Hogan every name in the book and said, "I promise everybody, or else I'll go in the goddamn grave, you will never see that piece of shit again." And he was right. At least in the WCW, because Hogan never came back. He filed a defamation of character lawsuit a short while later, but it was eventually thrown out.
Paul Hawthorne/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
"Whatcha gonna do, brother, when Hulk Hogan's Lawyermaniacs come crashin' down on YOUUUUUU?!"
Had Russo not come back out and gone on that rant, the plan was for Hogan to return after a four-month hiatus. In the meantime, WCW would have created a new title belt and crowned a new champion, assuming that Hogan had quit the company for good. So when he eventually returned to the ring, he could claim, "Hey, I'm the real champion," and they'd have to have a huge match to settle it. Instead, when Russo got real, Hogan got pissed and said, "Fuck this shit, I'm outtie 5000, homeslice." Or whatever it was that old white guys said in the '90s when they were trying to act all cool.
#1. WWE Tries Out Actual Real Fighting, Proves Wrestlers Suck at It
So what do you do when your sport is based on fake fighting, but real fighting is stealing your audience? That was the situation in 1998 that resulted in the Brawl for All, and it was universally considered to be the single stupidest fucking idea the WWE ever let go past the "drunken dare" stage. At the time, the UFC and tough man competitions were getting huge, and not being satisfied with just dominating the wrestling world, the WWE thought, "Let's directly compete with them by pitting untrained fighters against each other in real hand-to-hand combat. What could possibly go wrong?"
Well, other than shattering the illusion that these guys could actually fight. For example, one of their bigger stars at the time was "Dr. Death" Steve Williams, and he was marketed as a brutal tough guy. They were about to give him a big push, which means he would have gotten a major storyline, some extremely important matches, and the spotlight. What happened instead was that he got his ever-loving fucking ass kicked by a guy named Bart Gunn ... the same guy in the above video. Not only did he get knocked out, but he injured his knee in a takedown. And just like that, Dr. Death's actual wrestling push was over.
"Not in the face! Not in the face!"
The second thing that went wrong was that several wrestlers ended up legitimately injured. See, it turns out that when you get a bunch of 300-pound untrained dudes taking haymakers at each other, it tends to fuck up the human body. Who could have known?
They kept this thing going forfuckingever, and it was so painful to watch. The crowd would chant "boring" during the matches (you can hear them doing it in that Dr. Death fight). The punches were just so awkward and clumsy. No one knew what the hell they were doing. And worst of all, the people in the audience didn't pay for a real fight -- they paid for some good old-fashioned fake-ass wrestling. But they kept Brawl for All rolling regardless, right up until Wrestlemania, where the winner of the tournament, Bart Gunn, won the honor of fighting a real trained boxer, Butterbean. Finally, we can see what happens when the best wrestling has to offer takes on a mediocre, overweight boxer! Surely this won't ruin any childhood illusions!
You know what's coming next. Here's Butterbean knocking Gunn's soul completely out of his fucking body in the first round of that fight:

The Smoking Jacket's Modern Twist
That 19th-century staple, the smoking jacket, remains hot in a less smoky era
WITH MENSWEAR, though the details change, the big ideas have stayed the same as those that prevailed eons ago. Consider, for instance, the shawl-collared smoking jacket, a relaxed but fanciful piece of tailoring first seen in the 1850s, and a key player in this season's men's fashion.
First, a history lesson: "The smoking jacket is a tradition that's based on what a man would wear when he's in repose," said Josh Peskowitz, men's fashion director at Bloomingdale's. Think of a European gentleman kicking back after dinner. He's traded his stiff suit jacket for a plush smoking piece—whose intended function was to protect his clothes from the smell of his pipe. By the late 1860s, however, some people started to wear the jacket as formal evening wear, inspired by the audaciousness of Edward VII, the Prince of Wales. The prince commissioned Savile Row tailor Henry Poole & Co. to make a blue silk smoking jacket he could wear to dinners at his Sandringham country estate. Though he was breaking with protocol, when you're the son of Queen Victoria, you can get away with such things.
The Off Duty Fall 50
From the best PB&J to no-sweat bike clothing, here are fifty ways to make your season more stylish
Thanks to his influence, the definition of formal wear was no longer restricted to a jacket and tails. Still, said Mr. Peskowitz, "The only person allowed to wear a smoking jacket and slippers [to a party] was the host." But that shift eventually ushered in the modern, tails-free tuxedo jacket, which, to this day, shares a general silhouette with the smoking jacket, though the latter has more leeway; its cut can be more relaxed, its material more elaborate.
The smoking jacket conjures up images of virile party hosts from Jay Gatsby to Hugh Hefner. However, conveying top-dog status wasn't its only function. "It's about authority and familiarity," said Eric Jennings, vice president and men's fashion director at Saks Fifth Avenue. "You wanted to put [your guests] at ease. It softens things to not be so formal."
Now, the smoking jacket isn't limited to hosting. It can be worn dressed down slightly if you're merely attending a cocktail party, particularly when the holidays roll around. Fall pieces like Belgian designer Dries Van Noten's boxy, shawl-collared jackets in humble wool-cotton blends are perfect for such an occasion. If the jacket seems like too much of a commitment, you can hint at the look by combining classic smoking accessories—a printed silk scarf or slippers—with chinos and a blazer.
This fall, that leisurely elegant look could also come from a printed silk pajama shirt. In fact, many designers who did smoking jackets merged them with pajama tops and trousers (even though smoking jackets and pajamas have no historical connection—only the relaxation factor). Louis Vuitton designer Kim Jones showed a hybrid of printed silk pajamas and a tuxedo for a head-to-toe, ballroom-to-bedroom look.
Marc Jacobs took the idea to an extreme earlier this year, wearing an actual set of pajamas to events, and his post-show bow. While the move worked for him, it is ill-advised for pretty much everyone else.
"If your look is too sloppy, people will believe you just rolled out of bed," warned designer Michael Bastian, who, for several seasons, has offered pajama-like shirts in his collection. "Things like this need more tailored elements to make the reference sophisticated."
Still, what could be better for fall than clothes inspired by smoking a pipe and a luxurious night's rest?

Quick – the most ambitious jazz musician ever to come out of Western New York? Go.
Big band drummer Mel Lewis co-led one of the great big bands of his time. Juini Booth remains one heck of a bass player, capable of an entire evening playing solo. Grover Washington Jr.'s popularity was singular and his soulful sound irresistible. Boyd Lee Dunlop's brother Frankie was the greatest drummer Thelonious Monk ever had whose name wasn't Max Roach or Art Blakey. Pianist Wade Legge was crucial to the early music of Charles Mingus. The list goes on.
You simply can't have the discussion, though, without prominently mentioning drummer/composer Bobby Previte of Niagara Falls, a brilliant, thorny and ambitious musician whose apprenticeship with percussionist Jan Williams at the State University at Buffalo gave him a new music perspective other jazz musicians don't have when they migrate from Buffalo to Manhattan.
What's been so loved by many of us who have followed Previte's music from the Moscow Circus to a succession of exceptional small bands to huge pieces inspired by Olivier Messiaen is that Previte usually comes here with his newest project. And when he does, he's doing it to let us in on something special. That's what will happen at 8 p.m. Monday in Hallwalls (341 Delaware Ave.) when we'll see the exact opposite of his huge Messiaen piece, with a trio consisting of Previte on drums, electric guitarist Mike Gamble and Austrian baritone saxophonist Fabian Rucker. There are no uninteresting Previte performances when he comes back home – ever.

Two Elkins residents remained in jail Tuesday - each on a $10,000 cash only bond - after they were arrested for burglary over the weekend.
Jeremy Lee Summerfield, 19, and Ashley Nikole Harrelson, 20, allegedly broke into a Beverly Manor apartment and removed a 46-inch television Saturday night, police said.
According to the criminal complaint filed in the Randolph County Magistrate Clerk's Office, Cpl. A.G. Vanscoy with the Randolph County Sheriff's Office received a stolen property complaint from Cassandra Dias via the E-911 Center at about 9 p.m.
When Vanscoy arrived at Dias' residence - located in building 185A of Beverly Manor Apartments - he noticed footprints on the apartment's front door and several fingerprints on one of the bedroom windows, according to the complaint. Vanscoy also saw bedroom drawers opened "and the contents disturbed," he reported.
Dias told Vanscoy that her 46-inch Toshiba television had been stolen. When Dias, Vanscoy and Cpl. B.A. Talkington with the Elkins Police Department reviewed tape from the Beverly Manor's security cameras, they allegedly saw three people drive into the Beverly Manor parking lot and get out of a white Dodge Caliber. The tape showed Summerfield allegedly "travel to the bedroom window area of Dias' apartment" and subsequently exit the front entrance of the apartment building carrying a television and an item police could not identify, Vanscoy wrote.
Police also saw Harrelson allegedly emerge from the apartment via the bedroom window, the complaint states.
Dias told officers that she had been the target of a hit-and-run accident earlier in the day involving the same white Dodge Caliber visible on the security tape; Dias said her vehicle sustained a broken passenger side mirror from the incident, according to the complaint.
Dias also informed officers that she'd been receiving "several calls and text messages of a threatening manner" from Summerfield and Harrelson throughout Saturday evening.
In a separate incident that occurred later, Vanscoy and Talkington were dispatched to an area near the McDonald's at the intersection of Randolph Avenue and 11th Street, where they found Summerfield and Harrelson in a white Dodge Caliber with passenger-side damage, "particularly a mirror with damage consistent with the mirror piece obtained from Dias," the complaint states.
Randolph County Sheriff Mark Brady told The Inter-Mountain Tuesday that Summerfield and Harrelson may also be linked to an attempted breaking-and-entering that took place at Wheeler's Sporting Goods over the weekend. The West Virginia State Police are investigating the attempted breaking-and-entering, Brady said. No charges had been filed in magistrate court relative to that case as of Tuesday.
"With the cooperation of the Elkins Police Department, the Randolph County Sheriff's Office and the West Virginia State Police, we were able to solve several crimes," Brady said Tuesday morning.
The penalty for a conviction of burglary, a felony, is a term of one to 15 years in the state penitentiary.

With winter officially here, area road departments are finding that they're well-prepared and well-stocked for the coming hazardous driving season.
Crews got a foretaste of what's to come with Friday's snow and high winds, but Saturday's milder weather gave them a chance to catch up. Roads in the East Liverpool area were wet and icy in spots but otherwise problem-free.
"We've been lucky so far," said Jim Witherow, Hancock County Highway Garage administrator.
The garage's eight trucks started treating roads at midnight Thursday with a mix of salt and cinders, Witherow said. It started snowing around 3 a.m. Friday, and since that time, crews have been patrolling and checking trouble spots, he said.
Hancock County crews treat the main highways first-state Routes 2 and 8, U.S. Route 30-and then the secondary roads-Washington School Road, Hardins Run Road, Frankfort Road, Rolling Acres Road and others, he said.
The biggest problem late Friday and early Saturday, Witherow said, was blowing snow and gusts of high wind.
Unlike Ohio, where townships and counties plow and treat their own roads, West Virginia roads are cleared by crews either from city street departments or the state Department of Transportation.
The Hancock County Garage on Route 8, administered by the Department of Transportation's Division of Highways, keeps on premises 1,400 tons of calcium chloride (salt), 3,000 tons of cinders, 1,200 gallons of liquid calcium and 600 bags of calcium flakes, Witherow said.
The usual mixture for road treatment is salt and cinders, but when temperatures get into the low teens, crews use a mix of flaked calcium and salt, he said.
Chester Mayor Ken Morris said last year's mild winter has been a blessing for city street departments. "We're in pretty good shape right now. The trucks are up and running, and there's plenty of salt," he said.
Chester has two trucks that carry plows and salt spreaders. They cover all the city streets and Carolina Avenue if necessary, he said. Because Carolina Avenue also is state Route 2, it is treated and plowed by the state.
Bill Hutchman, road crew supervisor for Liverpool Township, said township crews-two big trucks and a one-ton truck-were out late Friday night and early Saturday morning.
"We still have quite a bit of salt," he said. "We're working off what we had from last year."
The township also has contracted for a certain quantity of salt for this year if needed.

Okay, Bug, I do agree that we've been on a downward slope in so many ways, and once you start doing it wrong it is easier for the next person to it do wrong too.
BUT, that doesn't excuse or make Obama less wrong right now. Illegal is still illegal and you can't excuse his wrongdoing by saying someone else did wrong before. I think we gotta call them all on it, Dems or Repubs. We'll disagree on some choices, whether they're good or bad and that's OK, but illegal is illegal and I don't think there should be much debate there.

DailyTech has talked about the Ford Fusion Hybrid on two previous occasions. With each article, the car has grown even more impressive.
When DailyTech first visited the Fusion Hybrid, Ford boldly predicted that the vehicle would top the Toyota Camry Hybrid in the city by 5 MPG. A month later, we reported that auto journalists were able to extract 43 MPG from the Fusion Hybrid in city testing while a Ford engineer managed an even more impressive 46 MPG.
For once, it appears that an auto manufacturer is actually living up to the hype. The EPA has officially released mileage figures for the Fusion Hybrid and the vehicle does better than even Ford's initial projections of 38 MPG. In fact, the vehicle is rated at 41 MPG in the city and 36 MPG on the highway -- 8 MPG and 2 MPG better respectively than the Camry Hybrid.
The Fusion Hybrid is able to achieve high ratings in the city thanks to its fuel efficient 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, CVT transmission, second generation hybrid system, and a lighter and more powerful battery pack.
"It's not just one thing, but thousands... We've optimized the heck out of that vehicle, it's individual components," said Fusion Hybrid program leader Praveen Cherian.
Ford's Fusion Hybrid can travel up to 47 MPH on battery power alone and will start at $27,270.

Gilles/Poirier weren't terrible. They aren't likely to be penalized based on the still significant differences in technical ability, but this was more dance than last season's tricks on ice, so good on them. Paul's a ham. I'm fine with it. Nothing special, though.

Strengths and Weaknesses of the Isolated Queen's Pawn
In the present book, on the basis of numerous practical examples, the authors explain the methods of attack and defence in positions with an isolated d-pawn, from just after the opening to deep into the endgame.
Isolani Strategy
Nimzowitsch-Rubinstein Variation
On the map of modern chess theory there is a 'blank spot' - The Nimzowitsch-Rubinstein Variation of the Sicilian Defence (1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 Nf6) Everyone has heard of it, but no one really knows anything about it. The literature devoted to this topic is extremely scanty. Two or three articles, a few brochures, one ancient monograph (in German) - and that's all. The book of international master Grigory Bogdanovisch fills this gap. The author, a recognized expert on the Variation, has summarized and fully systemized his many years of experience in the given field.
Play 2... Nf6 in the Sicilian
The present book by Nikolai Kalinichenko, an international grandmaster in correspondence play, gives a systematic analysis of the King's Gambit using more than 300 annotated games, classic and modern, providing the reader with a sound knowledge of all the standard variations, together with their typical strategic and tactical ideas.

BS in Business Administration Concentration: Management Information Systems (MIS)
(effective Fall 2012)The Undergraduate management concentration in Management Information Systems (MIS) is geared towards preparing students for careers in a variety of IT-related fields. Some of the career opportunities for MIS students include Systems Analyst, Information Systems Consultant, Network Administrator, Database Administrator, Web Developer, and Programmer. The School of Management MIS concentration services the needs of students and their prospective employers in two ways:
- First, the curriculum provides students with marketable job skills by teaching them material that is of immediate usefulness in entry level positions. For example, students can gain depth in the areas of software development using database technology, programming, telecommunications and the use of various computer tools.
- Second, emerging trends and issues in IS theory and applications are emphasized in order to better serve those students who rise to managerial responsibility. Thus, students are prepared to use their practical knowledge in a decision-making capacity.
We encourage students whose primary interest is in MIS to take additional MIS courses rather than choosing a second concentration. Research has shown that students competing for MIS positions typically take from 5 to 8 MIS courses during their academic careers. For students whose primary interest is outside the MIS area, MIS is the most popular second concentration. Training in the MIS area often proves to be an advantage when pursuing jobs after graduation.
Freshman and Sophomore Students considering MIS
At this time, two courses are required and one course is recommended for students considering an MIS concentration (CQS courses do not fulfill MIS concentration requirements):
CQS 111 – Computer Tools for Management (required first-semester freshman course)
This course provides the student with skills in the use of basic computer tools that will be needed to support future course work. These tools include the use of Excel and Spreadsheet Modeling, PowerPoint and HTML.
CQS 311 - Advanced Computer Tools For OPM/MIS (required Sophomore Core course)
CS 100 or 110 – Introduction to Computer Programming (recommended)
Introduces the student to computer programming as a discipline. It includes an overview of logic, computer architecture and program documentation as well as teaching the student to write simple programs in a high-order programming language (e.g., Visual Basic or Python). At the conclusion of the course, the student will be able to plan, describe and program a simple application such as a checkout screen for a retail sales operation.
Junior and Senior MIS Students
Students must complete a four-course curriculum for the MIS concentration option. The required course is MIS 323. In addition, the student must select three MIS electives to fulfill the MIS concentration requirements. Students will be required to create a portfolio of their projects in the MIS courses, which they could present to recruiters as evidence of their capabilities.
Course descriptions
Each elective course is four credit hours. MIS 311 is the pre-requisite for all upper-level MIS courses.
MIS 311 – Information Systems and Applications Design (required for all SOM students) 3 credits
Examines the issues related to the effective use of information technology to improve firm performance and discuss various types of information technologies deployed in organizations. Discussion labs provide the opportunity to become proficient in the use of relational database systems (currently Access).
MIS 323 - Information Systems Analysis and Design (required for MIS concentration)
Introduces principle methods and tools for the analysis and design of information systems. It includes instruction in the preparation of both data-process and object-oriented models in the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC). It also includes discussion of program management responsibilities, information gathering techniques and design of computer inputs and outputs (with an emphasis on web page design).
MIS 325 – Essentials of Programming
The course will cover principal components of different types programming languages: object-oriented languages such as C++, Java; scripting languages such as VBA; 4th generation query languages such as SQL. The focus of the course will be on how to use the languages and when to use them. However, the course will also include the components of the languages such as the data structures, and programming constructs. Such knowledge will enable effective use of the languages in various analytical applications, mainly financial and other data analysis.
MIS 333 – Data Base Management Systems
This course will introduce the technologies used to develop and implement database systems. The course will begin by introducing the relational model and the Structured Query Language (SQL). Data modeling concepts and principles of good database design will be used to illustrate the construction of integrated databases. Students will be required to complete a project that incorporates good database design concepts. Prerequisite: CQS 115 or familiarity with a programming language.
MIS 425 – Web Application Development
Web application makes the Web as an active medium which enables the web business on the Internet. Making web application provides platform independent information systems which have business rules and logics as web formats. Pure e-commerce players like amazon.com rely on web application development. In this course, principles of web application development are introduced with advanced e-business practices such as web database, XML, web services, the web 2.0, and the semantic web. With advanced information technologies and communications networks (i.e., the Internet), the revolution of the way of business is now happening.
MIS 450 – IT Security and Forensics
This course covers the technological principles, and the relevant social, behavioral, managerial and organizational issues. The technology topics are (but not limited to): intrusion detection, access control, database security, software security, malicious software, operating systems security, Internet security, network security, techniques such as encryption. Some of the non-technical issues (but not limited to): IT security planning, IT security policy, IT security audits, information assurance, physical security, risk management.
MIS 473 – Information Systems Development Project
A capstone "hands-on" course using concepts from previous MIS courses in a project for local businesses and organizations. MIS 323 must be completed prior to this course. Additionally, completing a programming course (e.g., CQS 115 or MIS 470) or MIS 333 is highly recommended prior to this course for maximum benefit from this course.
MIS 480 – Special Topics in MIS
Topic oriented courses on current issues in MIS. Topics courses often become regular courses after a semester or 2. See following for current topics.
MIS 480C – E-Business
This course introduces the fundamental concepts and implementations of e-business. There are two purposes of this course. First, students are provided e-business concepts in MIS and marketing. This covers the important topics in e-commerce such as market mechanisms, retailing, consumer behavior, customer service and advertising, B2B and collaborative commerce, etc. Second, students are learning and practicing web design details with HTML and major web design tools. Through the semester, "e" factor is introduced, and students will extend the understanding of internet strategy through using the Internet to target customers and creating and implementing business plans.
MIS 480E – Advanced Spreadsheeting

- Virtual currency for news. A San Francisco software engineer is merging his desire to raise awareness about Bitcoin with news publishers' interest in making money from their content. Ankur Nandwani is a co-founder of BitMonet, an open source tool that allows publishers to accept micropayments for articles in the virtual currency Bitcoin, reports PCWorld. BitMonet serves as a payment processor uses BitPay as a payment processor, and there are already plans to create a WordPress plugin that will allow for Bitcoin micropayment transactions.
- Open source textbook pilot program. Students at the University of Maryland will be guinea pigs for open source textbooks, and if the experiment goes well, it could result in a state-supported open source textbook initiative, reports The Diamondback, the University's student newspaper. The pilot program will allow teachers in lecture-sized entry-level classes to assemble textbook content from a pool of online materials. The Diamondback has the details on how much this could save students and what professors think of the movement.
- New lab is open source. An Open Source Geospatial Laboratory is opening its doors this month at Kent State University. The software used to support many of the lab's activities is open source, according to the Open Source Geospatial Foundation. The new lab will serve as a resource for computational social science research and is expected to be a draw for spatial scientists, economic/urban geographers, regional scientists, and policy-makers who want to learn about comparative space-time analysis of regional and urban dynamics. The lab will also actively share new comparative metrics with the broader research community.
- Wanted: Open source developers. Australia isn't the only place where open source jobs are hot. The president of Dice.com, a tech job search site, reports that the number of available jobs for Python programmers grew 22% from August 2012 to August 2013, according to cio.com. And, that's not all. There has also been an increase in jobs posted for Ruby on Rails positions. In this article, writer Sharon Florentine explores what's driving the demand for open source jobs.

I look forward to seeing how the University of Maryland's pilot program for open source textbooks turns out. As a student, I've had mixed experiences with 'textbooks' compiled from online sources. Some classes have been very good, while others were terrible. The good classes were good because the instructor made sure to check to make sure all the online material was still available. I've, unfortunately, taken classes where the 'textbook' was nothing more than a collection of broken hyperlinks. One poorly thought out class had the instructor tell us that we didn't need to buy the print versions of the textbook because the texts were all available online for free. Then test time came and we needed the paper versions of the books to take the test! It was a language class, so the texts in question were a grammar and dictionary, and electronic versions couldn't be used to take the test. Fair enough, but don't tell the students they can save money by using the online stuff only to end up requiring the printed textbooks.
BTW, your link to the open textbook article is broken. It is linking to opensource.com instead of diamondbackonline.com because there is no domain name in the link. Here is a working link for anyone interested.
Hi Ginny, Thanks for writing about BitMonet.
I wanted to clarify that BitMonet does not server as the payment processor. We use BitPay as a payment processor. With BitMonet we just provide tools for publishers to start monetizing digital content with Bitcoins.
Thanks Ginny. Any feedback that you have to improve the product would be greatly appreciated.

LeBron James turned away from his teammates gathered in the center circle and waved to the fans as if to say: �See you Sunday.�
Right where the U.S. men�s Olympic basketball team always expected to be: in the gold medal game, against the opponent it figured to see again.
�Anything less than this would have been unsatisfying for us,� Carmelo Anthony said. �We believe that we could get here, and we�re here now. We got one game left.�
Kevin Durant scored 19 points, James and Anthony added 18 apiece, and the U.S. turned on its slamming-and-shooting spectacle in the second half to overwhelm Argentina for the second time in three games, 109-83, in the semifinals Friday night.
The U.S. will play Spain on Sunday, a rematch of the Americans� victory four years ago for the gold medal in Beijing.
�I think it�s only right,� James said. �Everyone said that this is the game they wanted to see. We look forward to it. We�re happy as a team we�re able to be back in this position. We�ve got to defend, we�ve got to rebound, we�ve got to share the ball.�
The Americans have said they believe this team is better than the �08 squad, and they certainly are more potent � with a chance to end up outscoring he original Dream Team in 1992.
�You have three scorers on this team who get blistering hot if they make two shots in a row,� Kobe Bryant said. �I�ve never seen anything like it.�
In the third consecutive Olympic semifinal between the U.S. and Argentina, the Americans kept pulling ahead only to see the Argentines climb back in � until James and Durant finally put them away for good.
Manu Ginobili scored 18 points for Argentina, which plays Russia for the bronze medal Sunday.
Argentina hung around until early in the second half, just as it did Monday in the final game of pool play.
And just like that night, the Americans hit them with a wave of dunks and 3-pointers in the third quarter that turned it into a romp.
While not quite as explosive as their 42-17 period in Monday�s 126-97 win, this one had just as many highlights.
Ahead by only four after Ginobili opened the third quarter with a 3-pointer, the Americans pulled away with James� strength and Durant�s shot.
Durant made two 3-pointers in an 8-0 spurt that pushed the lead to 13, and when Argentina got back within eight, the NBA�s MVP and runner-up teamed up to blow it open.
James had a basket and drove for a powerful dunk while being fouled. Durant followed with consecutive 3-pointers, James tipped in a miss, and suddenly the lead was 19, 72-53, with 1:30 left in the period.
�We had a great run in the first half,� Ginobili said. �We started the third very well. And then we blinked.�
It became a runaway in the fourth when Anthony hit three 3-pointers in 42 seconds, the American bench spilling onto the floor as he strutted back to midcourt after the last one made it 93-64.
Otherwise, there was little celebrating for the Americans during or after the game.
The party they want can�t come until Sunday afternoon.
�It�s been a fun ride, but we want to compete on Sunday,� forward Kevin Love said.
The U.S. beat Spain 118-107 in the Beijing final, pulling away after leading by just four with about 2� minutes left. The Spanish are ranked second in the world behind the Americans and have much more size with brothers Pau and Marc Gasol.
�We�ll have a difficult challenge with Spain because they�re really big. But they�ll have a challenge with us, too,� U.S. coach Mike Krzyzewski said.
Bryant finished with 13 points hours after seeing his chances strengthen for another title with the Los Angeles Lakers.
This glowing group of bright stars couldn�t even make basketball�s biggest news Friday � that came when Orlando finally traded All-Star center to Dwight Howard to the Lakers in a four-team deal. U.S. swingman Andre Iguodala was part of it, getting sent from Philadelphia to Denver.
Howard was supposed to be here, forced to pull out because of back surgery. Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh and Derrick Rose also were lost to injuries.
The Americans seem just fine without them.
The climb back to the top of the basketball world after Argentina beat them in the 2004 semifinals was a difficult one for the Americans.
Staying there seems inevitable.
Though the Americans did have a close game against Lithuania, they are averaging 116.7 points � right behind the Dream Team�s record of 117.3 � with a low of 98.
They�ve defended only as much as they felt they needed to � and that hasn�t been much � but came out locked in on that end Friday.
Durant blocked Luis Scola�s shot into the U.S. bench, then stole his pass for an uncontested dunk and a 15-4 lead. A 3-pointer by Bryant made it 18-6, but Argentina ran off nine consecutive points to get within three, and the U.S. lead was just 24-19 after one.
With the U.S. leading by three early in the second, Krzyzewski inserted James, Bryant and Durant together, and James quickly took over the game. Powering to the basket and daring any Argentine player to get in front of him, he scored seven consecutive points, turning a 30-27 edge into a 10-point lead.
The Argentines hung in behind their 3-point shooting, with Ginobili beating the buzzer with their fifth of the period to pull within 47-40 at the half.
Scola and Carlos Delfino added 15 points apiece for Argentina, trying to go out with a third consecutive Olympic medal for its �Golden Generation,� the group of veterans who helped the Argentines replace the Americans atop the basketball world for a time.
But they haven�t been able to find enough young stars to mix in with their old-timers, while the Americans have blended in youngsters such as Durant and Russell Westbrook from their team that won the world basketball championships two years ago.

Emergency management officials made a last ditch plea Monday afternoon to thousands of Cape May County residents living in the barrier islands towns to evacuate.
"This is a large storm of epic proportions, like we've never seen before . . . I'm begging you: Please, please leave the islands tonight," said Martin Pagliughi, Cape May County's director of emergency management. "You still have time to get out."
Of the estimated 35,000 people living in Cape May County's barrier island towns - including Ocean City, Strathmere, Sea Isle City, Avalon, Stone Harbor, North Wildwood, Wildwood, Wildwood Crest and Cape May, only about 60 percent of residents had left, officials said.

One of the most picturesque, fan-friendly stadiums in the nation, Melching Field at Conrad Park will enter its 15th season as the home of the Stetson Hatters in 2013. At a cost of $4.5 million, Melching Field was the result of a joint effort between Stetson University, DeLand Sports Redevelopment Association and the City of DeLand.
Built on the same site as old Conrad Park, Melching Field opened on Feb. 12, 1999 as the Hatters defeated Louisville 4-3 before an overflow crowd of 2,874 fans. In just 14 seasons, the Hatters have built quite a home field advantage at "The MAC". Stetson is 344-165 all-time at Melching Field, good for a .676 winning percentage.
Melching Field has also served as the host stadium for the Atlantic Sun Conference Tournament from 2002-09, and after a two year absence, the event returned to DeLand in 2012. The A-Sun Championships will once again be held at Melching Field for the 2013 season.
In 2006 Pete Dunn won his 1,000th game in a thrilling 11-inning, 6-5 victory over Mercer in the A-Sun Tournament. Two days later the Hatters celebrated their second consecutive tournament title (sixth overall). Stetson tied a school record with 29 home wins in 2003, including a 13-game winning streak during March and April. In 2002, the Hatters picked up their 100th victory in dramatic fashion against Troy State in the Atlantic Sun Conference tournament.
Hatter fans have flocked to Melching Field in record numbers. With more than half a million fans since the stadium opened in 1999, Stetson is often ranked nationally among college baseball attendance leaders. A record of 61,798 spectators passed through the gates in 2007.
Melching Field features permanent seating for 2,500 spectators with grass berms holding approximately 500 additional fans. A full-service concessions area greets visitors upon their entrance to the park on Woodland Boulevard. The stadium is completely handicapped accessible and features excellent sight lines from anywhere in the grandstand.
The 2012 season marked the debut of a new high-tech scoreboard, which is located in left field and is equipped with a state-of-the-art message center and graphics board. The new $300,000 scoreboard is complimented by a $150,000 sound system. A state-of-the-art lighting system provides sufficient infield and outfield lighting for televising night games. In addition, the stadium features a modern press box, complete with two VIP viewing rooms, two radio booths, a television broadcast room, and a working press area.
The Stetson baseball coaches' offices are also located in Melching Field at Conrad Park, in addition to a pro-style locker room and the newly renovated Carlton Family Room, a player's lounge. Another recent addition to Melching Field is the Brian Snyder Hitting Pavilion, a covered batting area located outside of the right field corner.
Stetson University alumna Luella Nichols Melching of Coral Gables donated $500,000 to name the field in honor of her late husband R. Dale Melching. R. Dale Melching, a member of the Stetson class of 1944, was a student-athlete, playing varsity baseball and basketball and, in 1978, was inducted into the Stetson Sports Hall of Fame. Luella Nichols Melching, a Hatter cheerleader during her Stetson years and lifelong sports fan, said her husband would be proud to see the family name on the field at the modern baseball complex.
With a red brick and stucco facade and green metal roof, the stadium at Conrad Park resembles many buildings on Stetson's campus. The $500,000 gift is the another chapter in the Melching family's history of support for Stetson and its students. They took a leadership role in the development of Stetson's Wilson Athletic Center, a $1.6 million facility named for Pat and Patricia Wilson of Frostproof and dedicated in December, 1997.

The term "Booga" is used in "booga language" by highly intelligent, professional individuals. Booga language is primarily written and hardly spoken because of its complex structure. Take the first letter of a word and place it at the end. Then add "booga" as the finishing touch. It was founded by Dr. JoMer of the National Institute of Boogacity (pronounced boog-ocity). Use with caution. Others with inferior intellectual capacity will not understand this language and will become engraged with jealousy.

A toothache, a stubbed toe, a two-hop grounder to the midsection
the only three things in all the world that hurt worse than a Brain Freeze Headache.
I capitalize Brain Freeze Headache. Anything that hurts that bad deserves proper noun status. Like Labor. Im not talking about the manual thing, or the Teamsters organized stuff. Im talking about the miracle of childbirth.
The ice cream machine had broken down at Sonic so rather than my large chocolate malt I instead enjoyed a large cherry Slushie. Its hot were coming off a 120-degree heat index weekend and I have 32 ounces of frozen cherry goodness in my hands.
My first big gulp and zzzap! Brain-Freeze Headache.
We lived for Brain Freeze Headaches as kids. We used to have contests to see who could have the most (as in quantitative) and worst (as in qualitative) Brain Freeze Headaches. One was always my limit and every one was the worst.
A confession is due here. I wasnt a complete moron growing up. If you stick your finger in a live wall socket enough times you learn not to do that anymore.
Thats me and Brain Freeze Headaches.
I became good at faking Brain Freeze Headaches because Roger from next door was the King of the Brain Freeze Headache, a moron who didnt know when to quit, and he would beat you up if you didnt help him enjoy his Brain Freeze Headache by having one of your own. I never understood this unique fraternal bonding.
These days I dont drink out of a straw. Its one of those things I see as totally effeminate in my opinion. You could be Chuck Norris and drink your sweet tea from a straw and you couldnt karate chop your way out of a paper bag, much less pound cinderblocks into powder.
Theres something in the way the lips pucker when youre taking that sip that just sucks the testosterone right out of you.
But lets get back to the Brain Freeze Headache. Ive had four so far and Im not even halfway through the Slushie. It feels like I picked up a Number 2 pencil and jabbed myself repeatedly in the left eye.
My eye becomes an ice cube, and I can imagine what an ice cube would feel like if I were to pluck out my eye and stuff one in my left eye socket. Like a Brain Freeze Headache.
And its always the left eye. Why? I have half a mind to experiment repeatedly just to see if it ever switches sides and attacks the right eye.
What is it Einstein said was the definition of insanity? Exactly.
I just sucked back a big mouthful and had one of those second thoughts to which I actually paid attention. I held it in my mouth until the cold subsided. I may have avoided a Brain Freeze Headache, but every cavity and cracked tooth and loose filling in my mouth just lit up like I sucked on a light bulb.
Did Einstein ever come up with a definition of stupidity?
Ron White didnt but he said you cant fix it.

I'm trying to buy Xbox Live Gold, but before the payment options even come up, it goes straight to Status code: 80190864- Can't retrieve information from Xbox Live.
Also, the Xbox Live Gold card I bought last year for Christmas said it would have an extra month, and it only lasted until yesterday. The only reason I have Gold now is because I found a 2-day Gold in my Halo:CE Anniversary. Is there a way I can buy Gold on Xbox.com?
That code means you have some sort of billing violation on your account. Go to https://billing.microsoft.com to make sure your info is correct and up to date. If you can't fix it there you will have to call support and talk to billing.
Greetings, everyone! If you are still experiencing this issue can you please log on to https://billing.microsoft.com and make sure that your billing information is up-to-date and 100% correct?

I would also recommend everything is configured correctly according to the steps listed in this sticky: forums.xbox.com/.../153161.aspx. If all else fails, please get in touch with phone support for your region. They will be able to help you further with any billing issues. Thank you! Hope this helps. :)

Go to the billing site (its a separate site and can be located by clicking "my account" then "billing contact information" and then above the address information there is a small paragraph and within the paragraph is a link to the Microsoft Billing Website. Click that link) and update your information. Either your card is in "bad" standing or you need to put a current card in. That's what happened to me. I put my current card in and it went through just fine.

The scene was reminiscent of a legendary Bill Murray sighting in Charleston, when the Ghostbusters star sat down across from a woman at McDonalds, snatched a couple of french fries and dryly opined, No one will ever believe you.
That is what happened to Abbie Brown of Browns BBQ on June 6, when U.S. Speaker of the House John Boehner popped in unexpectedly for lunch.
We were done with the lunch rush on June 6 and the phone rang and the person on the other end said we were going to have someone special stopping in for lunch and would that be okay? she recalled.
Brown said it would be fine and set about to cleaning up the dining room.
It was around 2:30 p.m., Brown said when two guys came in and asked to speak with me.
They said the Speaker of the House was in town and wanted to meet Henry Brown here for lunch.
Brown said it was about 20 minutes later when five or six tan Chevy Tahoes pulled up out front and stopped traffic.
To secure the building, agents stating they were from the Washington, D.C., police entered the restaurant and stationed themselves at all of the exits.
Thats when John Boehner walked in and asked if it was okay if he ate some lunch, Brown said.
He was a normal looking guy and if it hadnt been for all the secret service agents we might not have recognized him, Brown said of the unexpected visitor.
Brown said some of the customers recognized the Speaker of the House right away and others didnt have any idea who he was.
John Boehner walked in and said, Im here to eat lunch with Henry Brown. I told him that Henry wasnt here, but hed be along shortly and about 10 minutes later, Henry came in and they ate lunch, she said.
Brown said Boehner really liked the food, having the barbecue and fried chicken.
He had two desserts also, the banana pudding and the carrot cake, Brown said. He seemed like the kind of guy who didnt eat a lot of sweets, but after he had the banana pudding, Henry Brown said, Youve got to try the carrot cake, so he had a piece of carrot cake as well.
Boehner had flown in that morning to play a round of golf with the former First District Congressman.
The group was at the restaurant for about an hour.
The speaker posed for a picture and signed a Browns BBQ T-shirt before leaving.
Its not every day you have the Speaker of the House come into your restaurant to eat lunch, so this was pretty special, she said.

If you ever get an Abbey..hold onto her.
