Adaptu provides one place to see account balances, financial transactions, spending trends and budgets, just like most other online personal finance apps. But, Adaptu also offers helpful financial advice articles written by experts and relatively strong investment tracking features, both making this app worth a look.
Setting Up Adaptu and Working with Transactions
Splitting transactions is easily accomplished, and is much easier to use than the same feature in competitor, Mint.com.
Bill Tracking and Budgets
Reports include cash flow, spending by category and budget vs actual spending. freedom more help with sticking to your budget, you can set up text or e-mail alerts so you know when you're getting close to meeting or exceeding spending goals. Another note on the budget feature: unused budget amounts do not roll forward to the next month.
Investments and Community
Adaptu's separate Community area offers advice articles from expert coaches, with videos and discussions. You can send coaches questions about their specific area of Money management:
- Budget for Life - saving money, money management and budgeting tips from financial blogger David Ning.
- Love and Money - relationship and money issues from financial industry expert Kristina Kay.
- College Savings - tips for planning for the future from Dorethia Conner, president of Conner Coaching.
- 401k How To explains retirement plans and is coached by financial advisor Jeremy Vohwinkle, who also writes for About.com Financial Planning.
- Debt Relief - planning to eliminate debt, with coach Glen Craig, who publishes the personal finance site Free From Broke.
Bottom Line Opinion
If you can put up with some slowness and occasional issues when moving between the money management area and community, Adaptu is definitely worth a look for the strength of its financial tools. Decent investment account support is rare in personal finance software, and using the calendar to view upcoming bills is more helpful than a list for many people. I also suspect that Adaptu will continue to be developed and glitches will be ironed out, but this is not to suggest that the app isn't ready for prime time. Adaptu is fully functional and could give Mint and other online personal finance apps some serious competition.
There's also a mobile app that works in sync with the online app, called Adaptu Wallet. Learn more at Adaptu's web site.

HAVERHILL — "The City of Haverhill is neither in favor or opposed to the siting of a marijuana dispensary in the City of Haverhill."
That declaration of neutrality in an application for a medical marijuana license by the nonprofit Healthy Pharms Inc. was a key factor in the state's decision to give the group a provisional license to open a medical marijuana dispensary in Haverhill.
The words are from a letter written to the state by City Councilor Robert Scatamacchia when he was council president last year. Several councilors said they were not aware of the letter until recently and hadn't seen it until a copy of Healthy Pharm's application was provided to them by a reporter.
"That kind of letter should have been on the council's agenda," said Councilor William Macek, who added he has serious concerns about a medical marijuana dispensary on Hale Street, a busy section of the inner city.
Only applications with letters of either support or non-opposition received provisional licenses Friday from the state's public health department. An application for a dispensary in Lawrence that included a letter of opposition from that city's new mayor, Daniel Rivera, for instance, was rejected.
Mayor James Fiorentini said he was approached by a representative of Healthy Pharms and asked to sign a letter of non-opposition, but that he refused. Instead, the company got Scatamacchia to sign it.
In a phone interview yesterday, Scatamacchia said he signed the letter on behalf of the full council and that every councilor should have received a copy. Scatamacchia said he signed the letter, which is undated and is on official City of Haverhill stationary, when he was council president last year.
"I would never take a position as president that the other city councilors did not support or were not aware of," he said. "It was not a unilateral letter by me. It was on behalf of the council."

Tired of hearing that people are your most important resource? That's fair. These buzz words have been overused and abused in the board room, in speeches to employees and in business books. People have heard these words so often, in situations where actions degrade their meaning, they have grown cynical.
To battle the cynicism, I propose a better statement of belief. People are your only resource. If you get this, you will create a work environment that foster their ability to increase productivity, build up high self-esteem, and develop new skills and capabilities. To reinforce this growth, you will reward them and recognize them for their contributions. Love them and help them grow or lose them to an employer who will.
In an earlier article, Set Them Free: Two Musts for Motivation, I discussed two criteria that create a motivating work environment: employee involvement and managing the workplace with as few policies and rules as possible for workplace order. Two more musts for motivation are:
- a work place in which the high self-esteem of each employee is fostered and
- the opportunity for people to fully develop their abilities and knowledge in their areas of interest.
People who have high self-esteem are more likely to continuously improve the work environment. They are willing to take intelligent risks because they have confidence in their ideas and competence. They work willingly on teams because they are confident about their ability to contribute. Nathaniel Branden, author of The Psychology of Self-Esteem and Self-Esteem@Work, says, Self-esteem has two essential components:
- Self-efficacy: Confidence in the ability to cope with life's challenges. Self-efficacy leads to a sense of control over one's life.
- Self-respect: Experience oneself as deserving of happiness, achievement and love. Self-respect makes possible a sense of community with others.
Self-esteem is a self-reinforcing characteristic. When we have confidence in our ability to think and act effectively, we can persevere when faced with difficult challenges. Result: We succeed more often than we fail. We form more nourishing relationships. We expect more of life and of ourselves."
A motivating work environment enhances staff self-esteem. People feel like they are more, not less--more competent, more capable, more appreciated, more contributing. A concept called the Pygmalion Effect emphasizes that the positive and high expectations of the supervisor help mold the expectations individuals hold for their own high performance. This fact is on my top ten list for what every supervisor must know. The Galatea Effect, also on the list, states that, even more important than the supervisors expectations, the expectations an individual has for her own performance govern that performance. Convinced? If youre looking for ways to increase staff self-esteem, these ideas will help.
- Act as if you have high self-esteem. Your behaviors, beliefs, attitudes, and example are a powerful role model for staff members. How you look, talk, present yourself, and act send the most powerful message possible to all staff members.
- Practice personal integrity and fairness. Model it and expect it from others. People who feel they can tell the truth, without fear of reprisal, grow as they experiment and experience success and failure.
- Provide frequent feedback that reinforces what people do well and corrects the approaches that need improvement.
- Learn what staff members feel good and positive about doing. Maximize their opportunity to contribute in these activities.
- Provide assignments that stimulate growth. Ask people to stretch beyond what you have observed them doing in the past. Challenge staff members. Negotiate goals which are realistic, yet a stretch.
- Provide positive reinforcement, rewards, and recognition to reinforce the standards and practices you believe your staff members are capable of achieving.
- Create an environment in which people practice self-responsibility. Show that you trust them to report production numbers, deal with employees who are not contributing to the team effort, and succeed and/or fail at implementing new ideas.
- Demonstrate that it is okay to disagree with the supervisor. Allow the implementation of new ideas, even if they are different than yours. Praise when the approach works and ask the employee to implement more good ideas.
- Provide clear expectations about performance standards to all employees and express your sincere belief that they can meet or exceed these standards.

King: Yankees asked Pirates about Mike ZagurskiBy
Via George King: Before claiming David Huff off waivers from the Indians, the Yankees asked the Pirated about left-handed reliever Mike Zagurski. Pittsburgh is close to calling him up from Triple-A, however, so talks never went anywhere.
Zagurski, 30, owns a 6.13 ERA (4.82 FIP) in 69 career big league innings with the Phillies and Diamondbacks over the years. As a true lefty specialist, he's held same-side hitters to a .254/.333/.372 (.312 wOBA) line with a 25.2 K% and 43.4 GB%. He's pitched very well in Triple-A this year, striking out 37 in 21 innings. The Yankees have Cesar Cabral on the mend and Clay Rapada at Triple-A Scranton, so they have some lefty relief depth. Sounds like they wanted someone more MLB-ready for the upcoming Mets, Red Sox, and Indians series though.
8 Comments»
And now I ask you who is Mike Zagurski
Leave it to the Yankees to have like 4 LOOGYS on the 40 man. Cashman failed.
They really must be trying to make the "Name the 2013 Yankees" Sporcle quiz at the end of the season as difficult as possible.
Didn't do so well on the '12 quiz because I forgot guys like Cory Wade, Igarashi and Qualls existed.
whatever happened to Clay Rapada?
Feel they are trying to corner the market on useless LOOGYs to keep them from Texas, Detroit and Tampa come postseason?
Clay is ok, Cesar will be on the staff soon, so why are they trying so hard to pickup a "3″ tonight at the bar when they have a "7″ (Logan) at home, a "5″ (Clay) just out of town and another "5″ (Cesar) moving back to town?
It's all short term.
I don't really question the Yankees when it comes to building bullpens.

The letter writer critical of Ruth Marcus' column about Mitt Romney's hair ("Judgements on presidential coiffure" Nov. 30) seemed to be dripping with sarcasm. I, however, agree with Marcus. These seemingly small nuances are carefully crafted by those trying to create an image positive to their candidate. Romney's perfectly dark hair with a "touch of presidential grey at the temples" is not natural for a man of his age, and neither is a flannel shirt on a multi-millionaire like Mike Dewine, or President Barack Obama appearing in front of blue collar union workers without his suit jacket. I personally find all these things to be disingenuous,and therefore revealing.

Providence north to Franklin MA area...
Incontro in Franklin is tasty, stylish and crowded. I hear Shakers in Mansfield is yummy, same guy who owns James's Roadside Grill in Wrentham. I have'nt been there in a while but the Lafayette House in Foxboro might be worth a try.
A little further north in Dedham I can highly reccomend Isabella's right down town.
Good luck and good eating, Larryg
Vintage in Woonsocket, RI has a nice, upscale atmosphere. They have a patio. If you go on a Monday or Tuesday night, they have a 50% off wines by the bottle with the purchase of entrees. Vintage has been open for several months. I have had several good meals there. I think they are still working the service kinks out. Service is sometimes a little slow.
I like Vintage and Incontro both. I'm not sure if Vintage is serving dinner on their patio, or just cocktails...I'll have to check. Incontro is supposed to have an outdoor patio but they haven't yet broken ground (or hadn't last time I was there)
Never heard of Shaker's but I wouldn't go anywhere connected to James'. I went for breakfast over the winter, was given a really overcooked (brown) omelet, sent it back after 2 bites, then got yelled at by the manager for expecting it to be taken off the check. When I say "yelled at", I mean yelled at.....loudly and embarrassingly. Turns out she is the mother of the owner's wife.
Shakers is in Plainville, not Mansfield, and I only went once when it first opened, and have to say, it was pretty dreadful. Incredibly salty...perhaps the chef smokes. As for James' Roadside Cafe, I know **exactly** who you're talking about, Jane! And can totally **see** her yelling at a customer and not caring that she did. I've only been there twice, and I think the food's decent, but nothing I'd go out of my way for. If you lived in Wrentham or Franklin, great, otherwise no.
hahaha - i used to work at James' Roadside! I went back a year or two later and got that woman as a waitress. WORST SERVICE EVER. that restaurant used to be great, (they did a weekend-only dinner selection that was out of control amazing) but now I won't go there anymore. Which is too bad, because there's not that many good breakfast options in Franklin.
more on topic, Incontro's is REALLY good. Highly recommended. You could also try Zio Paolo in Medway (http://www.ziopaolo.com/), although I've had spotty service there as well.
Okay, I ALSO thought it used to be great - what happened? When they first opened, they had awesome breakfasts....this time I had aforementioned brown omelet (haha), greasy limp hashbrowns, etc.
Zio Paolo - I forgot about that, thanks for reminding me! I went about a year ago and was very happy w/it. And prices are right, so I could deal w/some spotty service (as long as "spotty" means a bit inept and not rude).

As we develop an honest relationship
with God, our trust blesses him.
Click on the order button below to download this Current Issues Bible Study as a Microsoft Word file.
God wants to relate to us—personally and individually. He has purpose in all that happens to us, so we can find a new type of reasoning within our anger. Instead of always wanting God to bless us (at least in the way we want to be blessed) and growing mad when he doesn't, we can learn to bless and honor him. But how can we bless God when we're so angry with him? Does God really need us to bless him? Is blessing God just saying what we don't mean?

Update 7:43 p.m.: Mayor Dan Drew reminds residents that the city of Middletown parking ban is still in effect.
Calling this the worst storm he's ever seen, Mayor Dan Drew is urging Middletown residents to stay indoors Saturday to allow city workers to clear snow, which in some spots reached 36 inches, from the roads.
"The storm was so hard and so fast and the accumulation was so rapid, so significant, that it was extremely difficult to contend with but in every single instance, everything worked out," Drew said.
He's asking for residents to be patient.
"Things have calmed down significantly and we're looking at a long, slow cleanup," Drew said. "We understand that people are curious, but it's extremely dangerous out there."
Drew said Middletown Fire Chief Gary Ouellette, who's worked for the department since 1978, has never seen this much snow in the city.
"Overnight was very difficult to deal with," Drew said, as he praised city workers. "These people were out all night. When we had medical calls, we were pairing up public works trucks with emergency response vehicles so they could get through."
Two industrial-size snow blowers have been affixed to the front of heavy public works equipment to clear main roads. "Just to make it so the plows can pass."
Secondary roads will follow, Drew said, but it's quite possible tertiary roads and dead ends will not be plowed until Sunday.
Drew was out Friday at 11:15 p.m. with the director of public works in a 4-by-4, he said, in "virtual whiteout conditions." They saw cars, fire trucks and plow trucks getting stuck in the snow.
Original version
UPDATE: 11 a.m. Gov. Malloy's press conference. He told residents more power outages are expected "as gusts begin to blow."
Mayor Daniel Drew has declared a state of emergency in the City of Middletown as of 6 a.m. Saturday.
The city experienced rapid, major accumulations of snow overnight and crews from Public Works, Water & Sewer, and Parks & Recreation are working to clear roadways.
Accumulation was so rapid and significant that clearing main thoroughfares will take the better part of Saturday and will necessitate the use of heavy equipment. Residents on side streets and rural roads are asked for their patience as crews work to clear roads.
"This is a historic storm," Mayor Drew said. "We're working around the clock to clear our streets and our emergency operations center is monitoring conditions and coordinating our response."
Police, fire, and ambulance crews are responding to medical emergencies and 911 calls as they are able by coordinating efforts with Public Works.
"This storm has presented some major challenges, but we have everything under control and we'll be back to normal as soon as possible," Mayor Drew said.
In accordance with Governor Malloy's executive order, the City of Middletown reminds residents to stay off the roads. They are highlyimpassible and multiple vehicles were stuck and abandoned by the side of the roadways overnight.
Residents are reminded to be careful when shoveling walkways and driveways. Where able, please assist elderly or disabled neighbors. Many people experience injuries while cleaning snow, and it's important to do so slowly so as to avoid dangerous injuries.
Residents are also reminded to be mindful of blockages of exterior vents and accumulation of carbon monoxide in their homes.
As of 8 a.m., Saturday approximately half of one percent of CL&P customers in the City are without power. As of Saturday morning, the City Of Middletown does not plan to open the emergency shelter at Middletown High School.
The Warming Center at South Congregational Church and the lobby of the Middletown Police Department are open to anyone who needs refuge.
A parking ban is in effect until further notice vehicles parked on the streets will be towed.

Ancient Siam (formerly known as Ancient City)(Thai: เมืองโบราณ, Mueang Boran) is a park constructed under the patronage of Lek Viriyaphant and spreading over 200 acres (0.81 km2) in the shape of Thailand.
The founder's original idea was to create a golf course with miniatures of Thailand's historically significant structures spread around the course. During his research he found most structures being severely damaged over time and decided instead of creating new miniatures to save the original structures when possible or re-creating them full size or scaled down.
Ancient Siam is dubbed as the world's largest outdoor museum. Situated close to the Crocodile Farm in Samut Prakan province, the 320-hectare city features 116 structures of Thailand's famous monuments and architectural attractions. The grounds of Ancient Siam correspond roughly to the shape of the Kingdom, with each of the monuments lying at their correct places geographically. Some of the buildings are life-size replicas of existing or former sites, while others are scaled down.
The replicas were constructed with the assistance of experts from the National Museum to ensure historical accuracy. Outstanding works include the former Grand Palace of Ayutthaya (destroyed in the Burmese invasion of 1767), Phimai Sanctuary in Nakhon Ratchasima, and Wat Khao Phra Viharn on the Cambodian border.
Ancient Siam is located on the old Sukhumvit Highway, about 33 km south-east of central Bangkok. Golf carts and bicycles can be hired for moving around the park, and private vehicles are also allowed at a fee.

Summer 2014 Dates:
*Campers are invited to participate in both sessions
Summer at Convent & Stuart Hall has a student population that includes Convent &
Stuart Hall students, students from other Bay Area schools (independent,
parochial and public) and students from abroad. The faculty is largely composed of our own Sacred Heart educators as well as
additional faculty from public, parochial and independent schools
in the Bay Area.
June 16 - July 3
Session 2 (3 weeks)
July 7 - July 25
* Campers are encouraged to participate in both sessions
$800 per session
From the very first drop-off to the initial conversation with a kindergarten teacher, the process of joining a new school community can be a daunting task. This unique program is designed to help campers (and parents!) make a smooth transition to the kindergarten experience. A variety of dynamic activities provide a comfortable foundation of social and academic skills essential to the transition process.
Session 1: Incoming Convent & Stuart Hall students will be placed in single-sex classrooms in order to help them prepare for the coming year. All other students will be placed in co-ed classrooms.
1st-6th Grade
Schools of the Sacred Heart, San Francisco has over 125 years of demonstrated educational excellence. We are excited to share this proud tradition with the summer program community. Summer at Convent & Stuart Hall aims to help each camper smoothly transition into the new school year while creating engaging, theme-based curriculum in coeducational, grade-specific classroom settings.
Campers will be welcomed into a self-contained classroom, where each session will begin with a basic review of important concepts from the previous grade. Well-trained teachers will differentiate instruction that will reinforce common themes, standards, and expectations from the prior school year. As camp progresses, the focus will shift to reflect skills that campers can expect in the coming academic year. The daily routines and expectations will provide a comfortable atmosphere for campers to make new friends and build upon existing relationships.
Campers will have access to the vast technological resources of Schools of the Sacred Heart. With the guidance of our Technology Specialists, laptops and iPads will be available to all grade levels to enhance instruction and assist in building innovative projects. Group and individual activities will allow campers to interact with each other in a variety of ways as well as demonstrate their skills across different core subject areas.
$900 per session
1st-2nd Grade
Summer at Convent & Stuart Hall will offer an Orton Gillingham-based literacy program. This program is designed to support incoming first and second grade students who are progressing toward grade level expectations in the areas of reading and spelling. Class time will focus on developing and reinforcing foundational skills such as sounds, syllable types, syllabication, sentence fluency, and spelling consistencies. The class will use strategies that are multi-sensory and sequential in nature, providing repetition for the learning and consolidation of skills. Class size will be limited to 10-12 students and led by qualified reading specialists.
$750 per session
Kindergarten-6th Grade
The 'Young at Heart' recreation program captures the true "camp" essence of Summer at Convent & Stuart Hall. By fully utilizing some of the premier facilities in San Francisco, campers (and counselors) will engage in talent shows, theme-based dress up days, spirit wars, scavenger hunts, carnivals, and much much more. This structured, yet relaxed environment sets the foundation for each camper to be their authentic self while building meaningful connections with teachers, counselors, and peers.
All campers are encouraged to get into the spirit of summer camp by participating in themed dress-up days throughout the summer. Whether it be Rock Star Day or Halloween in the Summer, campers are sure to feel the "heart' of summer camp while reinventing themselves in their favorite outfits. Furthermore, 'Young at Heart' campers will participate in four rotation-based activities each afternoon. These rotations provide campers with the opportunity to experience athletics, visual and media arts, technological arts, and theater arts, all in one afternoon. 'Young at Heart' is a place where campers develop new skills in a broad range of age-appropriate activities under the gentle guidance of enthusiastic and skilled adults.
A: First camper pays full price, each sibling thereafter receives $100 off of the total fee (per session). This $100 is in addition to other package discounts. At the time of registration, please enter discount code: Sibling
Lunch Program Questions
A: No, all campers who are enrolled in afternoon programs are welcome to eat the lunch we serve.
A: Families are welcome to send a lunch with campers if they prefer.
A: Summer at Convent & Stuart Hall will not serve any product that contains nuts or is processed in a nut-friendly factory.
A: Unfortunately, at this time, we will be unable to process all such requests. A full menu for the summer will be made available to families before camp begins.
General QuestionsQ: Are there refunds if we change our mind?A: A $250 deposit per session will be due at the time of registration. The remaining balance (for both sessions) will be due by Monday, June 2, 2013. All unpaid balances will be processed on Friday, June 13. All deposits are nonrefundable (unless a course is cancelled due to low enrollment). The deposit confirms your child's spot in the program. No full or partial refunds of tuition will be made for any reason after June 1.
Q: What are the behavioral expectations during the summer?A: All participants have the right to enjoy a positive community experience. Accordingly, all campers are expected to follow and support Summer at Convent & Stuart Hall expectations for positive community at all times. Behavior or language that is perceived by staff to be disrespectful, hurtful, unsafe, or threatening may result in dismissal from the program. This includes any behavior that the summer program administration believes undermines our ability to best serve the needs of our participants.
Q: What is the attendance policy?A: Due to the academic nature of the program, we encourage campers to be present as much as possible for the duration of the program. We understand that summer scheduling is difficult and will allow campers to miss up to one week of camp per session. We are unable to prorate for any amount of missed time during the program.
Q: Will campers receive a camp t-shirt?A: Yes. Campers returning for both sessions will only receive one t-shirt for the duration of the program.

Brewpubs are popular and offer patrons opportunities to enjoy specialty and craft beers. Typically, brewpubs operate as restaurants with special beer licenses. Because of their alcohol and food service, brewpubs usually need licensing from state and local governments and in some cases both county and city agencies.

Being one of California and the nation's major cities means San Diego is home to many businesses. However, the city's licensing systems are fairly decentralized requiring business owners to apply to numerous departments including the city treasurer, planning and development and the police. Additionally, licenses from San Diego County, the state and sometimes the federal government are required in certain industries.
San Diego's major industries include defense, international trade, shipping, tourism, manufacturing, research and real estate. The city's close proximity to Mexico and large natural harbor make it a gateway to commerce with Asia and Latin America.

I'm a busy Mom with a full time job, a household to run and animals to care for, yet every day I find myself more and more drawn to the oh so amazing Internet and all it has to offer.
It is such a challenge to find that balance between communication and safety, education and propaganda, real life and the cyber world. I certainly understand the differences but it is a balancing act.
My first love is horses. At the age of 2, I was set up on a horse my father was riding in New York State. I think his name was Nicky. My mother says it was one of the biggest mistakes of her life because from that point on all I talked about was horse. Nicky's owner passed a Shetland pony named Snowflake on to me when I was 6 and the rest is history.
Now I go on line, and on Facebook, I'm connecting with other horse owners from past and present. I learn what is going on in the horse community from shows, to trail rides, to trade shows, meet ups, horse products, accidents, injuries and the fight to keep all horses and ponies in safe and loving homes. The Internet can keep everyone who loves and owns equines in close connection.
My second love is dogs. I worked at a boarding kennel for 10 years and a Veterinarian before changing in to my current field. In my twenties I owned a German Shepherd and went to dog training classes, met many dog breeders and went to shows and even visited the Westminster Dog show once upon a time. Now through social networking I keep in touch with my dog show friends. Share pictures of my beloved dog, learn about product recalls and safety. Help to spread information about missing dogs and the importance of micro-chipping.
Now my new love is my baby girl. I hope to share with her my love of horses and dogs and all creatures great and small. I can use the Internet to find out about baby foods, and product recalls, tips and tricks to raising a child. How to introduce a young one to horseback riding, or to swimming lessons or just how to keep them safe and healthy in a household of pets.
The oh so amazing internet is such a wealth of information. I can keep in touch with cousins in Maine, Texas, California and even Canada. I have a closer connection to my own siblings who I otherwise don't get to talk with. I can even share photos on the same day they are taken so that family members and old friends know exactly what is going on in my life and how my daughter and all my pets are doing.
Yet at the same time, so much out there is false. Every day there is a photo of some ill child or injured animal, with a brief caption and no real information. Anyone can write anything and you have to weed through what is truth and what is not. I have to be careful not to believe everything I see and read, and at the same time, not to let my heart get too torn over all those people and animal that do need help.
A photo comes across the screen of a very ill child. The caption reads that if the image is shared by 1000 people the child will get a heart transplant. But if you search far and wide in the intranet, you learn that this is false, and this poor child passed away in 2008.
Another image comes across my screen of a dog on a shelter floor that appears to have bled out its nose and the floor is covered with blood. No caption but the image is being shared to "stop animal abuse". All I can find for information elsewhere is that the photo was taken years ago in Istanbul. I don't know what happened. Maybe the dog cut his mouth int he night trying to chew through bars. Maybe the dog, unknowingly to its captors, got into slow acting rat poison 10 days earlier. I can't spread that kind of questionable information.
These kind of things are running rampant. I still have to live in the world of reality, where the house needs cleaning and the yard needs to be picked up, and we all need to go outside and go for a walk and talk to people in person. I have to take care to spend the time with the animals I HAVE, and stop dwelling so much on the plight of those I can't save.
I learned recently, that if you take a photo of your child with a smart phone, and share it on the Internet, predators can track you down to your house or the child's school. I'm certain the same is true of animals. I will keep my Basic phone, thank you.
I'll be safe. I wont believe everything I see nor share every sad photo that comes across my screen. Yet I will still, take great enjoyment in the oh so amazing internet.

Steal Like an Artist27 04 2012
I've just finished reading Steal Like an Artist by Austin Kleon and since its release, it seems to be everywhere. It is described as a "manifesto for creativity in the digital age." He makes some convincing statements and I've noticed I've done some of his "strategies" whilst growing up without realizing it, or putting it into words. When I say "growing up," that includes up to present day.
In his first chapter of advice, it's a similar argument Kirby Ferguson makes in his "Everything Is A Remix" documentary (which you should watch if you haven't). With this in mind, I love the comparison Kleon makes between good and bad theft (pictured below). It's a great discussion: Is anything truly original anymore? We're all influenced by what came previously, whether intentional or not. I must say, the list looks simple, but it is written arguably well and is a bit motivational. It's a quick read if you don't take the time to ponder it (and not heavily priced). If interested, you can read my brief chapter summaries here. The book left me remembering the work of others, which I'll post about soon.

Having previously seen Caledon in concert at the Last Night of the RSNO Proms and bought their DVD 'On A Beautiful Scottish Evening', I was very keen to hear this symphonic album of Scots songs, and I wasn't disappointed: in fact, I was thrilled. This recording breathes new life into songs which have been around for a long time (hundreds of years in some cases) and makes them sound fresh and new, whilst still respecting and preserving their original meaning. Amongst the trios, the very intimate Over the Sea to Skye and Loch Lomond are particularly beautiful, as are the two Hebridean solos Sleeps The Noon and Land o' Heart's Desire. The third Hebridean solo, Mist-covered Mountains of Home, is a brilliantly catchy jazz-inspired number finishing on a huge, tenorial top note! The other numbers include full orchestra, choir and pipe band and sound really thrilling, especially the inspiring version of Sailing (which I didn't realise had been written by a Scot). These are tenors who can really sing and I would recommend their new album, not just to fellow Scots, but to anyone who likes beautiful music - 5 stars to Caledon!

Welcome to Patch's daily snapshot of sports in Brewster.
Girls Lacrosse
Liz Lleshaj, Kristen Ohberg and Megan Yarusso each scored four goals in Brewster's 13-7 triumph at White Plains on Thursday, according to Gina Pernicano's post on the LoHud Girls Lacrosse Blog.
Bears on the Diamond
The below appears on the Brewster website:
4/14/12 — The Brewster Bears lost to the Yorktown Huskers today by the score of 4-3. The loss leaves the Bears record at 2-4. Yorktown jumped out to a 3-0 lead after three innings and the Bears could not solve the Yorktown pitching.
"I thought we could have done a better job of hitting their first pitcher but it didn't happen," said Coach Ed Mulvihill.
The Bears did grab a couple of runs in the bottom of the fifth inning when Sean Henderson clubbed a double to right center field bringing in Garrett Longhurst and James Cundari. Cundari knocked in a run in the following inning to make the score 4-3 but that's a s close as the Bears would come. "I thought we got a great pitching performance from TJ DelFranco. He deserved the win today," Coach Mulvihill said after the game.
More Brewster Baseball
4/12/12 — The Brewster Bears lost to the Yorktown Huskers today by the score of 15-4. The Bears jumped out to a 3-0 lead after an inning and a half but Yorktown owned the Bears the rest of the day.
"We had 8 errors and they had timely hitting to take advantage of those errors," said Coach Ed Mulvihill. "Put those two things together and it's a long day for us."
The Bears were led by Garrett Longhurst who went 2 for 3 with a double and triple and 2 RBI's. Sean Fitzgerald knocked in the Bears other 2 runs with a double. "We play them again on Saturday so I am hoping to show improvement from game to game," said Coach.

When Jay Cutler was healthy The Bears offense has been amazing in its own form. When the Offensive Line Crumpled Jay Cutler some how squeezed and stumbled around and the ball somehow always ended up in one of his receivers hands. In my Opinion the Bears are better when Jay Cutler is back there running around like a chicken with his head cut off. Remember when Jay Cutler had stumbled around and fell to the ground and got right back up and pitched the ball to Marion Barber? That was pure chaos and that's a perfect explanation why they are better when things look bad. When the Bears are Terrible its when There's no TE blocking, The Receivers are doing long Confusing Routes, and Jay Cutler Stays inside the Pocket. There are only 3 Things that the Bears Offense needs to become Super Bowl Capable. Signing a new Guard that isn't fragile(Chris Williams is Really Fragile), a New Younger Center, & Signing a Big Name Receiver.
The Bears also have to work on Johnny Knox. Knox stumbles way to much and that stumbling also caused the Interception in the Chargers game that lead to Jay Cutler getting hurt. The Bears only have Two True Wide Receivers in Earl Bennett and Roy Williams. I love Dane Sanzenbacher but he needs a little bit more time to become a true Wide Receiver, Devin Hester has speed and can get away from the Guy that's covering him but cant run routes that are more then a straight line and a turn, Johnny Knox just cant run Routes that are more then a Straight Line without Falling.
The Bears have came along way since the past 3 years when there Throwing game was just a Joke. Since Greg Olsen left I thought this year was gonna be even worse for the Offense but it turns out when Jay Cutler was around the Offense was just as productive as the Defense and sometimes even more Productive.
Thanks Reading. Please Comment let me know what you think. :)

Wow. What a low blow to us 5s users who need a 128GB model!
Toss in Touch ID, a 8mpix camera like 5S with 120FPS and 802.11AC – and this is a decent device. Well done Apple!

On Sunday March 24, Art of Motion is presenting a two-hour master class with New York City Ballet principal Amar Ramasar and his uncle Daniel Catanach, who first introduced Ramasar to ballet. (Catanach is on faculty at Steps on Broadway.) Class starts at 2pm and is $30 in advance, $40 at the door. It might seem a bit steep for a ballet class, but there are two teachers (meaning more personal corrections) and one of them is Ramasar. Dance Magazine can't get enough of the Bronx native, especially when he's flying across the stage in a Balanchine work. His energy and passion for ballet is palpable from the audience—imagine how infectious it will be close up.
Located in Ridgewood, New Jersey, Art of Motion dance studio is an easy commute from New York City on NJ Transit trains, and is roughly a block from the Ridgewood station. RSVP and details here.
Clockwise: Ramasar (back) with fellow NYCB studs: Tyler Angle, Craig Hall,
Robert Fairchild, and Andrew Veyette for the September 2011 cover of Dance Magazine.

UPDATE, Wednesday, 4 p.m. — Mass General Hospital reports that the 31-year-old Arlington Road resident is listed in "serious" condition this afternoon after he was struck by a car Tuesday night.
Wednesday, 10:30 a.m. — A 31-year-old man remains in the hospital this morning after a pedestrian accident last night.
The Arlington Road resident was crossing the street at Washington and Erie streets, near Leland Park, when he was struck by a car, reported Woburn Police.
The man was walking with his son, who was not injured, said police. According to witnesses, the man was leaving a Pop Warner event when the crash occurred.
According to police, an 88-year-old driver struck the man in the crosswalk just before 8 p.m. Tuesday night. The 31-year-old man reportedly sustained "life-threatening injuries" and was transported to Mass General Hospital, said police.
An MGH spokeswoman said Wednesday that the man was not under their care Wednesday and had no further information.
A friend of the man told Woburn Patch that he is still undergoing treatment, but was not sure where he was being treated.
Police are still investigating the crash. The car driven by the 88-year-old Winchester man is at the Woburn Police Station for further investigation, said police.

Justin Steinman, vice president for solutions product marketing at Novell, says that while corporate IT's use of SaaS and other cloud tools is growing, "security remains the number one inhibitor of cloud adoption by enterprise IT."
He claims Novell Cloud Security Service lets enterprises run their own security protocols and processes inside a provider's infrastructure, rather than depending solely on what the SaaS or cloud computing service has on hand. The service uses a "lightweight connector" on the enterprise side that learns what protocols and processes are used.
When the enterprise then uses services in the cloud, Novell's security software creates dedicated resources with the appropriate protocols, including workflow, user roles and other policies. After the enterprise no longer needs the resources, the software releases them to be provisioned anew.
Steinman says the new service is ideal for companies that need to follow specific compliance mandates whether in their own data center or one in the cloud.
Novell expects to make the service available later this fall.

Policy & Law
Kodak, which filed for bankruptcy in early 2012, has successfully sold off its imaging patent portfolio, one of its last remaining assets. In a release today, Kodak announced that it had agreed to transfer its imaging patents to Intellectual Ventures and RPX Corporation, a pair of patent licensing groups. In return, it will receive $525 million, something Kodak CEO Antonio Perez says will let the company "repay a substantial amount of our initial [bankruptcy financing] loan, satisfy a key condition for our new financing facility, and position our Commercial Imaging business for further growth and success."
The deal has yet to be approved by the bankruptcy court, but if it goes through, the money will be paid by 12 separate licensees organized by Intellectual Ventures and RPX. Apple and Google had previously been said to be teaming up to get control of the patents, something that fits with this deal — Google is a current client of RPX, and Apple is involved with Intellectual Ventures. As part of this agreement, Kodak is also agreeing to settle patent suits between it and the participants — it's had a long legal battle with Apple, which previously attempted to stop the patents' sale, and has also been involved in suits against Samsung and others, who may or may not be part of this deal.
Update: Bloomberg confirms that Apple and Google were among the parties buying the patents, as were RIM, Samsung, Amazon, Facebook, Adobe, Fujifilm, Huawei, and HTC, according to a court filing. Many of these companies had legal tangles with Kodak, so this is a way of neutralizing the imaging patents that have now been licensed and settled.

It's not at Ken Hitchcock levels but Claude Julien is apparently getting sick of Lindy Ruff. The Bruins coach popped off today about Ruff's post-game comments Friday night that Zdeno Chara could be looking at a suspension for an instigator penalty. Ruff had already spoken in HSBC Arena prior to Julien's comments b eing relayed back to Buffalo by the Associated Press.
"I've heard and read Lindy's comments. Hopefully, it's his way of taking pressure off his team," Julien said today at TD Garden. "If not, it's a lot of whining. Simple as that. Every coach has his tactics. You just worry about yourself. As I said last night, we seem to be the team that's doing bad things. They seem to be the team that's on the nice side of all that stuff and they do nothing wrong. It's tactics. Those are things in the playoffs that coaches use, hopefully to their advantage. I don't pay much attention to it."
Courtesy of the AP, here are some more thoughts from the Bruins about the Chara situation after their optional workout today. Chara was not available to the media.
Julien on the suspension being rescinded
""I think when you look at what happened and how it was put on paper after the game, to us it didn't make much sense. So (general manager) Peter (Chiarelli) put in a request to the league to get the instigator rescinded, which after review they did. So to me it was just common sense.
"To be honest with you, I wasn't even worried because I couldn't see that (a suspension) happening. It didn't take them long to rescind that stuff and it just didn't make any sense. A guy got slashed behind the leg with a two-hander and he just turns around and still has a glove on and takes a pop and then three guys jump him. So where does all this stuff come from? I don't know. Again, it's just common sense and the league looked at it and they felt that he didn't deserve it and took care of it."
Defenseman Andrew Ference
"There wasn't a fight. Instigator is when there's a fight, and there wasn't a fight. The guy [Paul Gaustad] clearly slashed him in the ankle going up the ice. So you really want to talk instigator …"

Dear Editor:
From bags to blues to great BBQ, we had a blast! The 4th Annual Glen Ellyn Backyard BBQ Cook-Off was another sizzlin' success. Nearly 2,000 people came out on what couldn't have been a more picture-perfect Saturday. I am so very grateful for the community's support of the BBQ, which provides significant funds for Transitional Housing Program for homeless families in DuPage County.
The incredibly dedicated volunteers who make the BBQ such a smokin' good time year after year deserve my heart-felt gratitude: Tom "Pig Daddy" Koprowski, Greg Bane, Chip Miller, Tom Nelson, Bob Solak, Kirk and Emmarie Burger, Lori Urick, Steve Stewart and Amy Thompson.
BBQ-goers enjoyed an afternoon of some of Chicagoland's best blues bands: Glen Ellyn favorite Amy Kelly with the Bill Ande Band, Buzz Kilman and the Blues Rocket Scientists, and Cadillac Dave and His Chicago Red Hots.
Congratulations to the winners of all the day's competitions:
2012 Best Ribs
1st Place: Big Daddy Dan's BBQ – Streamwood

Two weeks after Hurricane Sandy the Village of Lindenhurst says LIPA's finished reenergizing South of Montauk Highway.
LIPA and Electrical Inspections
However, there's been some talk in the community about whether or not the mandatory electrical inspections were still mandatory in order for LIPA to restore power.
Village Administrator Shawn Cullinane told Lindenhurst Patch on Tuesday LIPA's been requiring the initial inspections to assess the situation at individual homes South of Montauk before reenergizing or restoring power to them.
The Village helped facilitate that process by updating residents via text and on its website here.
The November 10 update read as follows:
"LIPA informed us the repowering South of Montauk, which began Friday afternoon is completed. LIPA says all circuits are closed, which means power is flowing into every power line.
"Some individual homes may need more work before the power can be restored due to service lines to the house being down or damaged. You should contact LIPA if your house does not have power.
"As detailed in previous postings, extreme caution must be used during the repowering process. The main breaker and all other breakers must be shut off. Before turning any breakers on, a licensed electrician must inspect, repair and/or isolate damaged circuits prior to power being turned on to those circuits. Only then should breakers be turned on individually as you check the integrity of each circuit.
"Updates progress will continue to be posted on this website, www.villageoflindenhurst.com, and via our text message alert system by texting 'VOL' to 411247."
Further Clarification
Cullinane reiterated the message, noting, "The vast majority have had their power restored South of Montauk. I don't believe there any wholesale blocks without power. It's down to individual homes that might require additional electrical work before power could be restored."
He explained the Village had been facilitating the initial no-cost, mandatory electrical inspections , which yielded National Grid gas beginning to be restored as of last Wednesday.
Any further electrical work beyond the initial inspection would have to be done by a licensed electrician, which residents would have to call on their own, and the cost for the additional electrical work would then have to be paid by individual residents, who might then be able to be reimbursed by insurance or FEMA, he further explained.
As of today LIPA's reporting 45 outages in the Village and six in North Lindenhurst.
But those numbers exclude "customers within flooded areas that cannot receive electrical service from LIPA until their own equipment is repaired, tested and given proper certification from an electrician stating they're ready for service. For further information please click here. LIPA remains committed to working with customers in these impacted communities to expedite restoration where possible, the LIPA website said here.
LIPA also posted these links on its site to update residents:
- http://www.lipower.org/stormcenter/index.html#restore
- http://www.lipower.org/stormcenter/flood-update.html
"If any residents have any questions about this, then they could call the Village Building Inspector at 631-957-7510," Cullinane added.

Microvision's Patent Power Prowess Progresses
April 13th, 2009
by Tiffany Bradford
IEEE Spectrum has refreshed its annual assessment of IP portfolios in different technology sectors. Last year Microvision was named in the Top 20 electronics companies worldwide in patent pipeline power. This year we moved up 3 slots to 17th, even though we filed 25 patents during the evaluation year, compared to hundreds filed by some of the other names on the list (Hitachi, Xerox, Sony, Sharp, and LG Electronics to name a few.)
In this evaluation, the Adjusted Pipeline Impact (API) score indicates how frequently a company's patents from the previous five years were cited by other patents, adjusting for self-citation. Microvision scored 2nd in API out of the Top 20 electronics companies.
Here is an excerpt from a January 2007 Business Week article discussing why this metric may be important. Thanks to the investor that sent this Business Week article my way.
"Scholars have learned that a powerful proxy for innovative expertise is how frequently a company's existing patents are cited in patent applications. Indeed, one-quarter of all patents receive no citations, and a mere 0.01% earn more than 100 citations, according to Bronwyn Hall, an economist at the University of California at Berkeley. In a study by four economists covering seven industries that generate a large number of patents, researchers found that a patent mentioned 14 times by other patents is worth, on average, 100 times as much as a patent cited only 8 times. Another estimated that companies with widely cited patents and a track record of turning them into products outperformed the market by 1,000% over a 10-year period."

|Charity Ecstatic - Dr. Lauren Steals Her Own Show
|Saturday, 31 October 2009 08:06
I kept coming across posters, internet postings, a couple of radio announcements and I decided to see who or what the positive fuss was about – other than someone considered "top of the line" having generously agreed to star in a benefit for those living with the serious monster that is pancreatic cancer. So, I looked up and around for information on "Dr. Lauren" (Kennedy-Smith – seems she has a few imitators) and became curious. This woman could not possibly be as "democratically humorous" as her promotion claimed her to be. Well, let me be the first to say it – this down-deep academic and hands-on trauma specialist is the funniest Canadian on the current more than slightly (or more than normally) arid scene.
The program provided a bit of an out. Dr. Lauren had been traveling, she had a serious knee injury, and was (as she described it) "brain dead with sleep deprivation". May we all be so handicapped. I cannot remember the last time I laughed continuously through an almost two hour show, one that I could take my wife and son to at that. Having come on stage, straight from an all-night, all-day flight, Dr. Lauren not only danced, made informative mock of the inanities of everyday life, but she also, inadvertently taught. My adolescent son whose interests fall between girls and video games had post-show questions (actually directed at his parents) about relationships, life at work, ethics, marriage, politics and so on. But I speak of my (and my wife's) personal glee. The audience went wild. It slurped up the acting, the information, the rapport with individuals and the theatre as a whole, like scavengers for the things of human mental and emotional relief and release.
Adlibbed (for the most part) as she told me later in a short (and fun as "heck") interview, she is a superb Canadian talent, rapidly being pulled (and paid) south of the Canadian border. Surprised? Humorous Canadians are our greatest export. Perhaps that's why the audience was so hungry for brilliant humour, bereft of obscenities, and successfully and warmly integrating of a disparate group of people on a damp fall night.
I wish I could turn her on once a week or so and "get the feeling" I was left with. I wish my son and wife could watch and listen and laugh with me again, as a family, and have a spontaneous discussion over pizza.
Why can't I? What is wrong with this country I adopted through marriage? What do New York and L.A. producers and agents "see-grab" that "We" or our entertainment professionals do not? Or, Canada being Canada, are they looking at all? If our partly government controlled entertainment industry was a serious contender, i.e., seriously into product and profits, talent and terrific programming, Dr. Lauren would be a household name.
She is in mine.

This week, Starbucks started offering their caffeinated customers a more eco-friendly way to enjoy their coffee.
According to the Detroit Free Press, the coffee giant will begin selling reusable cups on Jan. 3 in an attempt to reduce the waste created by customers purchasing millions of beverages — and then throwing their cups away — every day. The cups will retail for $1 and fill up to a grande size for a cup of joe.
Each refill in a reusable cup — be it one of the new tumblers or another Starbucks mug — earns the user a dime off their purchase.
The cups have already debuted on the west coast, but hit all Starbucks locations in the U.S. and Canada — including those in the Greater West Bloomfield area — on Thursday.
"We see real excitement about these cups," Starbucks' Jim Hanna told the Free Press. "People think they're cool."
Both Starbucks and the Michigan coffee chain, Biggby Coffee, already offer a discount to customers who come in for a coffee refill with their reusable travel mug. However, those type of drink containers can cost $10 or more. Hanna said he believes the low price of Starbucks' new cup will drive use.
Will you buy one of Starbucks' new reusable cups? Tell us in the comments!
