Who's the Boss
This blind date is none other than retired NBA player Jack Knight. Jack was known for playing hard on and off the field. He was the captain and public persona of a team that won but had a "wild man" reputation. Of course, all the stories about Jack were untrue…but he lived with the press and the lies. Now he is retired after several knee surgeries, and he is trying to live a quiet, normal life in a big mansion he bought with some of his money. He loves helping inner city kids and loves to coach. His sister convinces him to help in a charity event by selling a couple of basketball lessons with him, so Jack finds himself needing a date in a hurry. His best friend is dating Lorissa and the blind date is set up.
Sparks fly, and Jack and Samantha are both attracted. Since Sam doesn't follow sports she doesn't really know who Jack is and this allows them to flirt, tease and start to connect before the public intrudes. Jack is attracted to Sam's spunk, her willingness to go along and have fun. Sam is attracted to Jack's vulnerability around the press, his obvious love for his sister and his seeming sincerity when he tells her he is not interested in a long term relationship. But when they kiss, both find more than what they bargained for.
While their romance happens and develops quickly, the pages sizzle with the tension, the teasing, and the gentle fun of getting to know each other as they surf, play basketball, help out at a charity carnival and finally steam up the bedroom windows. It is nice that they don't hop into bed right away and this anticipation is most of the fun.
Jack and Sam are both strong characters who have had to build defenses around their hearts to protect themselves. As the barriers come down, their vulnerabilities are revealed and luckily for them, the person who sees these inner feelings is caring and concerned. They deal with their fear of commitment and are mature in their interactions and in dealing with their emotions. Their friends are minor characters but show how they were shaped into the adults they are and this added balance to the tale.
Seduce Me is nicely paced and Shalvis uses her skills to tell a good story. The sexual tension was what we have come to expect from the Temptation line; this is ultimately a well-written romance and I truly had a good time reading it. That alone renders a recommendation.
--Shirley Lyons

Kendall Yards
When developer Marshall Chesrown purchased 77 acres of real estate near downtown Spokane in 2004, a vision was born. Kendall Yards would be a mixed-use "urban village," drawing residents to the heart of the city and boosting business. After several years of groundwork and financing setbacks, new developers have taken over the project.
Plans emerged in 2006 for a major development on the land, purchased during Metropolitan Mortgage & Securities Co.'s bankruptcy auction. The initial proposal for the site north of the Spokane River and west of Monroe Street showed high-end residential units; up to 1 million square feet of office and retail space; high-rise buildings; and Centennial Trail connections.
Developers completed a
costly environmental cleanup and drew up plans to handle a surge in traffic. Residents of West Central and other neighborhoods voiced concerns and support. And in September 2006, the city examiner approved Kendall Yards. The City Council would later OK special tax financing despite prominent objections.
As the economy began to falter in 2008, the project ground to a halt. Chesrown closed the downtown Kendall Yards offices, and the site was used for parking.
In late 2009, home builder Greenstone Corp. bought the property and promoted scaled-back plans that kept the mixed-use philosophy but reduced the number and cost of the housing units. Work on those units began in April 2010.
The development may deliver a full-service grocery store by Thanksgiving 2012. One to three office buildings and more housing also are planned next year. Greenstone is working with city officials to reduce long-term parking on streets in commercial portions of Kendall Yards and to extend the Centennial Trail through the project.

- The precise number of people affected by DVT/PE is unknown, but estimates range from 300,000 to 600,000 (1 to 2 per 1,000, and in those over 80 years of age, as high as 1 in 100) each year in the United States.
- Estimates suggest that 60,000-100,000 Americans die of DVT/PE (also called venous thromboembolism).
- 10 to 30% of people will die within one month of diagnosis.
- Sudden death is the first symptom in about one-quarter (25%) of people who have a PE.
- Among people who have had a DVT, one-half will have long-term complications (post-thrombotic syndrome) such as swelling, pain, discoloration, and scaling in the affected limb.
- One-third (about 33%) of people with DVT/PE will have a recurrence within 10 years.
- Approximately 5 to 8% of the U.S. population has one of several genetic risk factors, also known as inherited thrombophilias in which a genetic defect can be identified that increases the risk for thrombosis.

Pronto Taco Soup Recipe
When out-of-state friends dropped by, I invited them to stay for dinner, knowing that I could put together this mild, chili-flavored soup in a jiffy. I served it with cornmeal muffins and a crisp salad for a filling meal everyone loved. My guests even asked for the recipe before leaving!

- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cans (14-1/2 ounces each) beef broth

- 1-1/2 cups picante sauce
- 1 cup uncooked spiral or small shell pasta
- 1 medium green pepper, chopped
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes

My husband and son love this soup. It's great because you can make it as spicy as you like. To add some nutrition to my son's diet, I also throw in a can of beans. He doesn't even realize they're in there.

Very good soup. Add some Tabasco and sour cream to really top it off.

Colin Farrell, with his thick Irish brogue and even thicker eyebrows, went from instant A-list sex symbol to a cautionary tale of the side effects of fame to a respected Golden Globe-winning actor holding his own against heavyweights like Russell Crowe, Tom Hanks and Christopher Walken. He began as a teen model and quickly moved up to British TV and stage productions. Playing a oft-shirtless soldier in Joel Schumacher's Tigerland catapulted him onto the world's radar and he quickly secured gigs opposite marquee talent like Minority Report, The Recruit, Daredevil, Phone Booth, A Home At The End Of The World (Unfortunately, his nude seen was cut.), Alexander and Miami Vice. While his star rose, he was hitting rock bottom. A 2001 marriage to actress Amelia Warner combusted after only four months. His bar bills, drug use, profane tirades and sexcapades (including a sex tape made with a Playboy Playmate he had to sue to keep private) are the stuff of legend. Even the 2003 birth of son James, who suffers from a rare neuro-genetic disorder called Angelman Syndrome, with model Kim Bordenave didn't curb his wild ways. In 2005, he finally admitted he had a problem, went to rehab and came out recommitted to his craft, earning praise for working with auteurs Woody Allen and Terry Gilliam. He won gold at the Globes for In Bruges and was trophy-adjacent in a supporting role in Crazy Heart. He became a father again in 2009 when Polish actress Alicja Bachleda gave birth to son Henry.

Earlier this week, a bunch of low-quality image scans from The Avengers made their way online after debuting in the latest print edition of Empire Magazine. Naturally, we were happy to have some new looks at the first franchise crossover of its kind, regardless of how spotty the stills might appear. Three days later, though, Marvel just said, "To hell with that," and kindly released crisp, clear versions of those three images featuring Nick Fury, Steve Rogers, Hawkeye, and Black Widow.
Because Marvel is a magnanimous studio, it has also provided two additional, all new images, one a close up of Fury, and the other a combo of Bruce Banner and Tony Stark looking at something interesting offscreen.
The merchandising tie-ins for The Avengers should start filling store shelves and fast food baggies over the next two months, and that means we'll be getting some new looks at the film courtesy of cheaply made hunks of plastic. Today, two new images spotlight the super team member of whom we've seen the least: the Incredible Hulk, played as Dr. Bruce Banner by Mark Ruffalo and in "beast mode" by expensive visual effects created principally thanks to Industrial Light and Magic.
Believe it or not, boys and girls, the biggest effort from Marvel Studios is just three full months away. The Avengers, a fanboy dream if ever there's been one, drops in 3D on May 4th, meaning you've got time to get your hands on some Rogue 3D Eyewear before Iron Man, Thor, Captain American, and the Incredible Hulk battle Loki and...somebody else. Marvel honcho Kevin Feige has some thoughts on that somebody else in the latest issue of Empire. not only that, but several variant covers for the issue feature the different members of the superhero squad, except for poor, misunderstood Hulk. Bruce Banner is also left out of a handful of photos from the magazine.
One of the big observations regarding the first and thus far only trailer for The Avengers was that it leaned pretty heavily on Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark, enough so that it gave the impression that the film might be more Iron Man featuring The Avengers than a proper ensemble. It makes sense that Marvel and Disney would sell the movie this way preliminarily, as Downey's hero has more traction with audiences than his counterparts. According to writer-director Joss Whedon, a dude who knows a thing or two about juggling eclectic ensembles, the indispensable man in a narrative sense is actually Steve Rogers, aka Captain America, once again played by Chris Evans.
Okay, let's get this out there immediately: This is the most minor of minor updates, and will be accordingly brief. Basically, this is seizing another opportunity to geek out about the fact that The Avengers is an actual thing that is actually happening. An image of a theater standee has made its way online, showing exactly what the modular display will look like in the lobby of a multiplex near you.
It's no great shakes, as the display created by LAgraphico uses images we've already seen in the form of two banners putting the superheroes in a lineup. The difference is in who is on offer and the minor addition of the actors' names above their character. It's incredibly lame, but something about seeing a standee that includes the main team and credits like "Jeremy Renner is Hawkeye" is just cool.
Back in earliest December, Paramount rolled out the first official image of Gemma Arterton and Jeremy Renner in the comedic 3D action adventure Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters. That was done with a promise of a trailer arriving online the following week, so when said trailer failed to materialize over the next month, anyone paying attention was left asking, "Wha happened?" Now we know wha did happen there, as it looks like the studio has opted to delay the film's release pretty significantly.
Before Doug Liman's The Bourne Identity came about a decade ago, the idea of Matt Damon as an unstoppably badass amnesiac assassin was sort of laughable. How times change. After the Bourne franchise got bigger with two subsequent installments under director Paul Greengrass, Damon and the helmer opted not to return for a fourth go-around. Looking to capitalize on the franchise even without the central figures, Universal Pictures has gone ahead with The Bourne Legacy, which does not, in fact, feature Jason Bourne.
Instead, Jeremy Renner is taking over as a new, Bournesque character who goes by the name Aaron Cross. As part of the end of the week image-palooza, we now have our first official look at Cross in The Bourne Legacy. How does he look? Almost exactly like you'd expect. The one-time star of National Lampoon's Senior Trip* is mean-mugging with the conviction of a two-time Oscar nominee, and he's wearing a pretty cool jacket too.
Obviously, The Avengers brings together Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, and the Incredible Hulk, but what malevolent force could possibly prompt the familiar heroes to venture from their disparate franchises for an ensemble superhero throwdown? Marvel Studios has played it cool regarding the villains in writer-director Joss Whedon's big team-up, with only Tom Hiddleston confirmed as Thor's brother Loki. Mischievous though he may be, Loki can't be the only baddie, and in the absence of official word from Marvel, rumors as to additional villains have run rampant. Now, there may be some support for one such rumor, but be warned, if its true, this is most definitely a SPOILER. I repeat, if this rumor ends up being valid, then from here on out, we're going deep into SPOILER country.
As even the most inattentive schoolchild is aware, America's top three exports are big Hollywood movies, brightly-costumed superheroes, and dopeness. A new international trailer for The Avengers contains at least two of these three exports, as the superhero team-up from Marvel Studios and director Joss Whedon is a huge Hollywood movie containing many a superhero. Scientists are meticulously researching the new Russian trailer, especially the new footage it showcases, to determine the exact degree to which it is empirically dope, but as of this posting, the nation's foremost minds on freshness have yet to reach any solid conclusions.
Joss Whedon wrote the screenplay for The Avengers, so we know damn well that anytime two or more characters are talking, Marvel's ginormous ensemble is going to click like clockwork. Whedon has proven time and again that he can write endlessly playful dialogue, but Marvel and Disney can't exactly sell The Avengers as the superhero movie to end all superhero movies based principally on its dialogue; appealing to a broad audience is about action, right? That's why two new official stills from the film show members of Marvel's premier superteam getting their action on with aplomb. The first features the most cinematically well-established hero of the bunch, Iron Man, tooting around over the streets of Manhattan, while the second has Chris Evans as Captain America and Chris Hemsworth as Thor doing what they do.

As a youth growing up in Dungeness in the 1940s, Art Rogers recalls days spent on his grandfather's 42-acre farm and log paddling with friends from Cline Spit to the Dungeness Lighthouse. In those days, the Dungeness School brimmed with classrooms full of schoolchildren, traveling to Sequim was considered a treat, and for Rogers, summers were spent working for $30 per month plus room and board on the small family farms once plentiful throughout the Sequim-Dungeness Valley.
The lifetime area resident will share these and other memories of his youth in Dungeness on Friday, Jan. 7, at "Remembering Dungeness," part of the first entry in the Museum Lecture Series presented by Peninsula College and hosted by the Museum and Arts Center in the Sequim-Dungeness Valley at the Dungeness Schoolhouse. Rogers will lead the first hour of the class starting at 10 a.m., followed by noted area historian Doug McInnes, who will discuss "Sequim Yesterday."

Taylor told his grandmother to shut up and shook the pills and money at her, telling her he was in a gang and that was how he made his money.
Gillenwater told Hayes that Taylor put a large hunting knife to his throat and told him he would "take my 45 and kick in your door and kill you, your wife and kids" if he called police.
He said Taylor then put him back in his wheelchair and pushed him home. Gillenwater later called 911 because of pain in his jaw and paramedics took him to Thomas Memorial Hospital. Doctors determined he had a fractured jaw.
The story took a strange twist when 911 dispatchers notified Hayes they had received a call from Taylor.
Taylor has a police scanner at his grandmother's home and had heard Gillenwater's emergency call. He called to tell police he did not steal Gillenwater's pills. He claimed that it was Gillenwater who tried to sell the pills to him. He also said the paralyzed man swung at him first.
Taylor was charged with kidnapping, assault and armed robbery. He is being held at South Central Regional Jail without bond.

Allen's tough week ends in Raiders loss to Broncos
Friday - 12/7/2012, 2:21am  ET
AP Sports Writer
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) -- After enduring one of the toughest weeks of his life and career, Raiders coach Dennis Allen's return to the Oakland Coliseum ended with another painful memory.
Just the way most games have this season.
Carson Palmer threw an interception that thwarted a scoring chance and fumbled near his own goal line to send the Raiders to a sixth straight loss, 26-13 against the Denver Broncos on Thursday night.
The Raiders (3-10) played the game with heavy hearts after Allen's father, Grady, died earlier in the week from cardiac arrest. Allen was in the Dallas area for two days but came back to the Bay Area on Wednesday to coach the game.
About the only bright spot for the first-year Raiders coach is that the team's longest skid since losing six in a row in 2007 is hardly the worst thing to happen to him this week.
"I took my father off life support, and that's not easy to do," Allen said, his voice cracking. "So was it hard? Yeah, it was hard. But I know my father would want me to be here with this football team, and I wanted to be here with this football team. So I'm sure you guys can imagine it wasn't an easy situation."
Allen said he was overwhelmed by support from players, assistants and those throughout the NFL. His players had talked during the short week about rallying around their coach, too.
Instead, they came out flat against a fierce AFC West rival, were swept in the season series by the Broncos for the first time since 2006 and added to the mounting pressure on Allen's job.
Peyton Manning threw for 310 yards and had his 30th touchdown pass of the season on the game's opening drive to help Denver roll to its eighth straight victory. Knowshon Moreno ran for 119 yards and a score on a career-high 32 carries, and Matt Prater kicked four field goals.
The Broncos (10-3) moved a half-game ahead of New England and Baltimore for the second-best record in the AFC. Denver visits Baltimore next week in a game that will help decide who gets a first-round playoff bye.
"I felt like we got decent pressure on him at some times," Raiders linebacker Philip Wheeler said. "I feel like we just got to get off the field on third downs, man. We can't have those long drives."
The game was mildly competitive for only a brief time as Oakland scored late in the first half on a touchdown pass from Palmer to Darren McFadden and then started with the ball in the third quarter down 13-7.
McFadden, returning from a four-game absence for a sprained right ankle, left late in the fourth quarter with another setback to the injury. That put the damper on a solid comeback performance, breaking off a 36-yard run on the first play from scrimmage, but the drive stalled in Denver territory after that and the Broncos took the game over.
"Extremely frustrating," Palmer said. "To rack up this many losses in a row in the fashion that we've done is just extremely frustrating."
Manning, who joined Brett Favre as the only quarterbacks in NFL history with 5,000 career completions, converted a third-and-11 with a perfectly placed 22-yard pass to Demaryius Thomas. Manning followed that with a 29-yard completion to Eric Decker, but the drive stalled after a pass-interference call on Matt Giordano gave the Broncos a first down at the 1. Prater's 20-yard field goal made it 16-7.
Mike Goodson then made the ill-advised decision to return a kick from 8 yards deep in the end zone, forcing Oakland to start a drive at the 8. Von Miller then beat Khalif Barnes for a sack on third down, stripping the ball from Palmer. Mitch Unrein recovered at the 2 and Moreno scored two plays later to make it 23-7.
"The guy got a good pass rush. And being in that situation backed up like that, I've got to throw the ball out of bounds," Palmer said. "I didn't have the guy I wanted to throw the ball to open, tried to pull the ball back and throw it to another guy. Obviously, looking back now, I wish I would've just chucked the ball out of bounds."
Prater added another field goal later in the third quarter and Manning went on to his record 12th season with 10 wins as a starting quarterback.
The only remaining drama was whether quarterback project Terrelle Pryor would get his first action of the season for Oakland. He didn't, giving the frustrated Raiders fans yet another reason to be upset even though Palmer added a 56-yard TD pass to Darrius Heyward-Bey and finished with 273 yards passing.

Report: Sprint also planning mobile payment service
Sprint is reportedly setting up a mobile payment network via cell phones, Bloomberg reported today.
The carrier's Vice President of Product Platforms Kevin McGinnis told Bloomberg that Sprint phones will eventually have near-field communication (NFC) chips inside and those phones can be waved over a terminal installed in retail stores in order to pay for items.
Items paid for via NFC will show up on a user's credit card statement, and not their cell phone bill. Sprint will likely not take a percentage of each transaction, but instead take a share of revenue generated from coupons or deals … Read more

1. California may cut payments to family caregivers
Faced with significant budget shortfalls, cuts to California's In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) program have been proposed. The IHSS program uses state, county, and federal money to pay home-care workers, including family members, to provide care for low-income Californians who would otherwise need to live in nursing homes. Cuts to workers' salaries have also been proposed. Read more: http://www.sacbee.com/content/politics/story/8609394p-9537624c.html
2. Maine proposes adult day health cuts
The February 16, 2004 edition of the Foster's Daily Democrat reports on proposed cuts to Maine's Medicaid program. Included in the package are $266,000 worth of cuts to adult day services for persons with Alzheimer's disease. Details: http://www4.fosters.com/news2004/March2004/March_16/News/reg_me_0316.04g.asp
3. Massachusetts votes to change Medicaid rules
A March 25, 2004 Boston Globe article indicates that Massachusetts legislators have voted to delay state plans to expand the way Medicaid recoups expenses. Under current law, Medicaid can recover expenses of providing care through the beneficiary's estate once they have passed away. A state proposal would have expanded this provision by also allowing the state to tap financial assets owned jointly by the beneficiary and a family member. The delay will allow legislators more time to analyze the impact of this provision.

4. New Jersey governor promotes caregiver support, in-home care options
New Jersey Governor James McGreevey recently signed an Executive Order to expand caregiver support services. The Executive Order creates the New Jersey Caring for Caregivers Initiative which provides 14 county Offices on Aging with funds to offer a variety of services in the home of the caregiver. It would also fund seven county Statewide Respite Care Programs to help caregivers. The Governor has also included funds in his budget proposal for the Senior Care program. Under this initiative, residents would have the flexibility to live in their own homes or in the home of a loved one while still receiving long-term funds to obtain necessary health and supportive services. The program would be similar to other "Money Follows the Person" initiatives around the country. Information about New Jersey Caring for Caregivers Initiative: http://www.state.nj.us/cgi-bin/governor/njnewsline/view_article.pl?id=1814 and Senior Care program details: http://www.state.nj.us/budget2004/speech.html

I'm interesed in Plan: W2939B-V1 (reverse reading) one story plus finished basement but I'm having a hard time justifying the $150 charge for reverse reading... Is there anything cost wise that you can suggest//help me with
Harry (Brighton MI)-
Customer service 12 January 2011
Dear Mr Valdes,
Thank you for your interest in Drummond House Plans.
The $150 fee is a standard fee to reverse the plan. Our techinical department has to do some work on the plan to reverse all the technical details and re-write the information. Ordering the plan reverse can save you time and money since your builder will not have to reverse it on-site, which can avoid some mistakes and confusion.
Please contact me again if you need further information on this plan or any of our plans. I will gladly answer any question you may have.
Doreen, Customer Service Department

Circular migration patterns and determinants in Nairobi slum settlements
Date received: | 30 Oct 2009 |
Date published: | 10 Sep 2010 |
Word count: | 10860 |
Keywords: | Africa, demographic surveillance system, event history analysis, internal migration, Nairobi, slum settlements, urban integration |
DOI: | 10.4054/DemRes.2010.23.20 |
This paper measures migration flows and determinants in two slum settlements in Nairobi City between 2003 and 2007. The results confirm the high intensity of migration with a quarter of the total slum population and a third of those aged 15-30 being renewed annually. A circular migration system is at play whereby the majority of slum dwellers are short-term migrants spending on average less than 3 years in the area. Migration is more intense during early adulthood (20-24), and despite very similar determinants across gender, mobility is more intense among women compared to men. The increasing feminization of migration is likely to change the face of slum settlements, resulting in more balanced sex ratios, in line with city-wide trends in Nairobi over the past half century. The high population turnover is due to the insecurity of livelihoods, tenure, and poor basic amenities and social services in slum settlements.

@LRToday Morning Round-Up: February 22, 2013
Cleaning Crews at Target Stores Threaten to Strike: Josh Eidelson at The Nation writes that non-union janitors at Target stores in Minnesota are threatening to strike unless their employers agree to meet with them to discuss alleged unfair labor practices by Sunday at noon. The workers, employed by one of three contractors and working at Target stores in the Minneapolis/St. Paul metro area, have filed charges with the National Labor Relations Board alleging retaliation for attempting to organize.
"I guess I'd say I'm not scared," Diversified employee and CTUL activist Alejandro Quirino told The Nation in Spanish. "Because I'm fed up and sick and tired of how they've treated us, and how our demands have been ignored. And that's why I'm going to go on strike. If I get fired, I know I was fighting for what's right, and putting in what I could to fight for what's fair."
A Target spokesperson declined comment, stating that any inquiries should be directed to the employees' actual employers, who happen to be outside contractors.
Board Rules Employee Fired For Discussing Salary Deserves Backpay: Matt Dunning of BusinessInsurance.com reports that Houston, TX-based Jones and Carter, an engineering firm, agreed to pay a former employee over $100,000 for firing her after she discussed her salary with other employees. The National Labor Relations Board had ruled a week prior that her conduct was protected activity under the National Labor Relations Act and that her discharge constituted an unfair labor practice.
According to court documents, Jones & Carter executives testified during an administrative hearing that Ms. Teare had been fired for "harassing" other employees about their salaries, and not merely discussing them. An administrative law judge ruled in Ms. Teare's favor on Nov. 26, 2012, declaring that the company's policy regarding salary discussions among employees constituted an unfair labor practice under federal law.
The Board affirmed the ALJ's ruling on February 8, 2013. While Jones and Carter offered to reinstate the employee, she has declined the offer of renewed employment.
UC Irvine Symposium to Discuss World Without Unions: Matt Coker of the OC Weekly writes that UC Irvine has kicked off a two-day symposium discussing the possibility of a post-union society. In particular, academics and labor lawyers from across the nation have been asked to consider viable alternatives to collective bargaining or improvements that could be made to the Wagner Act. UC Irvine described the panels as follows:
The panelists present a range of ideas and approaches to the challenge. They propose to increase the voice of workers without unions and to increase transparency about workplace standards; they describe and generalize from alliances between labor and environmental groups to change local law regarding independent contractor status; they propose reforms of immigration law, changes in the structure of bargaining and union elections and changes the legal rights and obligations of unions in right to work states.
The symposium promises to be a fascinating exercise for academics. However, it will be interesting to see whether any viable proposals come out of the two-day event. We will be following the developments and will keep you posted if any ideas of note come out of UC Irvine this weekend.

My name is Liz Conger and I am one of the Youth Services Librarians. Before I was a Librarian here at Bloomfield Township Public Library, I was one of the Interns at the Media Desk. I moved to the Youth Room in summer 2010 and love working more directly with kids. In fact, story times are my favorite part of the job! I like to listen to audiobooks and music during my commute to work and when I'm home I like to play with my kitty, Lola. I read a wide variety of books, but am especially fond of picture books with animals. When I'm not at work, I might be traveling and am currently planning a 12-day honeymoon to Ireland in August.
