4 Ways to Get to Greenland
When you tell your friends you're heading to Greenland, you're sure to be met with a blank stare, followed by: Why on earth are you going there? Do people live there? Do they have electricity? You're joking, right?
Well, I'm happy to report that your friends back home will be met with an earful upon your return, and they may even be a bit jealous of your experience—because Greenland is not only ground zero for global warming, it's also one of the most pristine and rugged places on earth. And yes, people do live there. Here's how to do it...
Day Trip to Kulusuk
The easiest way to get that much-coveted stamp in your passport is also the easiest itinerary to plan. Take a day trip from Reykjavik, Iceland: a 2 hour flight during the summer months on AirIceland from the city airport gets you to Kulusuk, a small island village on the east coast where you can get a taste for colorful houses and snowcapped peaks. This fleet of small but sturdy dash-8s don't hold many people, and these trips are sold out months in advance, so plan as early as you can.
Tip: There's no real border patrol between Iceland and Greenland. You'll be spared immigration lines, but whatever town you fly into, just ask someone at the airport to stamp your passport.
They don't call this the Paris of Greenland for nothing. But instead of glorious architecture, you'll find gleaming white icebergs in every shape and size that will blow your mind. The town's name actually means "iceberg" in Greenlandic, and hiking trails around the UNESCO World Heritage Site Ilulissat Icefjord will show you how pristine yet fragile this snow white landscape is. There are a few small tour agencies that do great excursions during the summer high season. World Of Greenland is a good bet, run by energetic young Scandinavians who make great tour guides for both culture and nature. The midnight icefjord sail is a must for experiencing the midnight sun, and the solar energy cabins at Glacier Lodge Eqi, 50 miles north of town, will give you a comfortable place to rest after exploring the immense Eqi Glacier, one of the most active in Greenland.
Tip: Direct flights from Reykjavik are available on AirIceland, and make sure you get a window seat. Flying over the ice cap is something you'll never forget. When booking an excursion, keep in mind there is usually a minimum number of participants needed—meaning, if that number isn't met, you're out of luck. So plan your trip loosely and be open to tours you might not have thought of. You definitely won't be disappointed.
AirGreenland and the Arctic Umiaq Line
I once heard someone in Greenland say they'd like to rent a car and drive from town to town. The locals fell over laughing, because the only way to get from place to place is to fly or take a boat. Air Greenland is an excellent airline that covers virtually every inhabited corner of the island. Keep in mind: Greenland is not just expensive. It's very expensive. A 15-minute flight may cost you $500, and a no-frills hotel room might cost over $400 per night, depending on where you are. If you want to sail up and down the more populated west coast, the Arctic Umiaq Line runs from Ilulissat to Qaqortoq in the south during the ice-free summer. Facilities and cabins are basic, but the views are unbeatable.
Tip: Admittedly, this is one of the most difficult destinations to plan. It's certainly possible with enough research and advance planning, but keep weather delays in mind. You end up waiting at the airport for 12 hours waiting for fog to clear, only to be told the flight is cancelled. People have been known to be stranded for several weeks due to bad weather conditions, so be sure to plan your trip loosely and leave more than enough time to get back home.
Air Greenland's beloved Airbus, Norsaq, makes a daily pilgrimage from Copenhagen to Kangerlussuaq (pronounced Kahn-ga-slu-suac), just north of the Arctic Circle. There's not much to do in this tiny airport town, but this is the easiest gateway to the ice cap, and there are few things cooler (no pun intended) than that. World Of Greenland Arctic Circle offers great tours that let you hike, and even camp, right on the ice cap. Dogsled tours, kayaking, and sea safaris are all available here and in nearby Sisimiut. Check out the beautiful videos at Destination Arctic Circle for more ideas.
Tip: There may be a language barrier if you don't speak Danish or Greenlandic, but you'll most certainly receive a royal welcome by the "Greenland Air Force." By which we mean the infamous Arctic mosquitos, which will attack as you step off the plane. Yes, summer is mosquito season, and they're ferocious, swarming in your face by the hundreds. You may think you're safe with 40% Deet, but when they see their target, they'll hold their breath and go in anyway. So really be sure to cover up—and if you end up wearing a netting mask, disregard the snickering locals, because you'll be the envy of all your fellow travelers.

Bright yellow-gold. Ripe peach and melon on the fragrant nose. Fleshy and smooth but energetic too, offering peach and honeydew flavors accented by candied ginger and lemon rind. Packs a punch but remains bright and lively, finishing with good breadth and a bracingly bitter quality. (12/ 2012)
The 2010 "Kali Hart" Chardonnay is 100% estate grown fruit from Talbott's Sleepy Hollow Vineyard, located on a sand and gravel benchland in the cool Santa Lucia Highlands, thirteen miles south of Monterey. It was fermented in stainless steel with a portion racked to mostly used French oak, and aged for nine months on the lees prior to bottling. While the 2009 vintage was riper, 2010 is brighter and more tropical in nature, with aromas and flavors of pineapple and lemon-lime accented by creamy vanilla and baking spice. The palate is creamy and rich with nicely balanced acidity and nutty flavors at the finish. "Kali Hart" remains a great value in California Chardonnay. If you are looking for a cleany made Chardonnay that offers richness and complexity without overtly oaky flavors, "Kali Hart" is hard to beat in the under $15 price range.
Below is a listing of the wine review scores we frequently reference in our notes. While these sources remain an excellent source of information, we always recommend that you trust your own palate.

Will Your Insurance Cover Your Kid's Stolen Laptop?
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Theft is a significant hazard on college campuses, according to data from insurance giant Travelers (TRV), including theft of vital items such a laptops.
But students don't have to live in dorms to become a victim, and most people don't realize how important the distinction is for the insurance that could pay for replacement equipment.
"Laptops are one of the most essential yet expensive tools that student need to complete college," says Mark Grace, vice president for consumer business at Absolute Software. "We have seen countless cases where students have lost midterm assignments or even an entire semester's worth of work after their laptops were stolen."
Whether a student has file backups or not, they need to be able to pay for replacement equipment fast so they can get back atop their workload.
But in a survey of 1,000 adult consumers, Travelers found that 47% of those who have had a child start college during the past five years never reviewed their insurance, despite the fact that "in addition to laptops and smartphones, it is common for students to take iPads, personal electronics, video game systems, bicycles, stereo equipment and televisions to campus," says Elaine Baisden, vice president of personal insurance at Travelers. Here's the rule parents are overlooking: If a student's primary residence is the same as his or her parents while they are living on campus, a percentage of the student's contents will often be covered under the parents' homeowners policy, Baisden says. "But if a student is living off-campus, he or she should consider a renters insurance policy," she says. "On average, renters insurance ranges from $150 to $200 a year. If the student will be living with roommates, each individual should purchase his own policy." Baisden adds that if you have children headed to college with stuff from your house, it is also a good idea to review your own coverage. "If students will be taking expensive items such as jewelry or a musical instrument with them to school, you might consider adding a rider to the renters or homeowners policy so these items are covered," she says.Select the service that is right for you!

this is easy to understand. all key factors are based on year-to-year comparison.
so if the entire world was stuck for 4 quarters in a row and something moved in the first quarter of next year we see a growth of production, GDP, etc.
however nobody remembers that numbers are still far below they were before it all started.

Tom Cruise will be seen next in 'Rock of Ages'
Destined for greater things, a young Thomas Cruise began as a Franciscan seminary student with hopes of becoming a priest someday. Little did he know that instead of a somber life in the seminary, he would be lured into the glamour of Hollywood and achieve the star status that he has today.
Fame came almost instantaneously to the young lad who starred in a string of Box Office blockbusters, and eventually created a place for himself as one of the top 100 movie stars of all time.
Initially among the handful of A-listers who steered clear of scandals and controversies, Tom's sudden erratic behavior was met with harsh criticism. A practicing Scientologist, Tom retreats to his faith when stardom's adverse effects begin to show its ugly head.
Come what may, with a striking smile and an equally arresting face to go, Tom continues on in the exploration of his two passions - learning and life.

MLA Position Statements and FAQsCopyright and the Web FAQDisclaimerThis document on copyright and the Web is intended as a guide to assist librarians in their practice. It is based on the ideas and interpretations of the author in her capacity as a librarian and does not purport to be a legal statement or to serve as legal advice. Because of the nature of the subject matter, in which legal rights and responsibilities often are dependent upon the specific facts and circumstances involved, readers are encouraged to consult with competent legal counsel as appropriate. The author has experienced copyright infringement with two of her Websites and has used these incidents to educate her staff and others about copyright law and the web. The author has attended several presentations by Kenneth D. Crews, Copyright Management Center, Indiana University-Purdue University, Indianapolis, (see bibliography) and has used these presentations as a framework for this FAQ. I am familiar with how copyright law is applied to books and artwork. But what about a Website?Copyright law is also applicable to the Web. When you create a Website, you fix your material in a tangible medium of expression. The only other requirement is that your site be an original work of authorship. This means that it must originate with you, contain at least a minimum amount of creativity, and be expression rather than ideas or facts. Extensive discussions are in progress to determine whether copyright law should be modified in light of the recent phenomenon of virtual publishing. Until this happens, current copyright law should be followed. Under copyright law, there are several exclusive rights belonging to the copyright holder. It is interesting to apply these rights to the Web. First, the copyright holder has the right to reproduction, including the right to mount a Website onto a server. While it may be permissible for a Website user to make a single printed copy of site content for later reading or to bookmark it for reference, there is some question whether caching the Website is an infringement. The copyright holder also has the right to distribution, i.e., providing access to the Website to users. He or she also has rights over the creation of derivative works. Some people have interpreted this to mean converting content from analog to digital, turning printed text into html and uploading it, or downloading an image and making a transparency. There are also rights to public performance and display. For the web, this could include putting music clips on a Website or displaying scanned images of paintings or sculpture. Finally, there are moral rights which protect against the distortion or mutilation of materials. This is quite applicable to the Web, particularly with modern computer technology that allows easy manipulation of images. However, the most common scenario of a copyright holders rights being violated is the use of his or her materials, whether created using traditional or electronic formats, incorporated into another persons Website without permission. How does a Website become protected by copyright law?Like books and artwork, there is automatic protection for your Website when it is created. There are no longer requirements for notice or registration. However, to be on the safe side, particularly if your Website content is unique, you might want to register your site content with the U.S. Copyright Office. The content should be registered as a literary work. This may be problematic if the content of your site will be changed routinely. If you intend to register your site, try to plan ahead. Perhaps your main page can remain relatively unchanged, while subpages can be revised. Then, register at least the main page. A cheaper alternative, particularly if you will be changing your site, is at least to provide a copyright notice or symbol as part of your site. That negates the innocent infringer defense if you do sue someone for copyright infringement. Subpages can be protected somewhat by including a back button to your main page, so that if the subpage is misleadingly included as a link from another persons Website, users will be routed back through your page. There is nothing special about the content of my Website, just information about the library. However, I designed some unique buttons as links in my Website and I also have an interesting arrangement that no one else has tried. How can I protect this?Copyright protection of a Website can extend beyond just the content to include the arrangement of the site, the creation and use of graphics, audio and video, and the collection and annotation of links, if you can show evidence of purposeful and original selection of the links you have chosen. If you believe your Website is truly unique, it would be wise to document the steps in its creation, including your selection criteria for links and your rationale for the arrangement of the site. Once you have stabilized the content of the site, you might consider registering the content with the U.S. Copyright Office. Then even if the text changes, you may have preserved protection at least for your site design. It is believed that saving the HTML source code to reuse as a template for other Websites may be copyright infringement. If you see a unique source code you would like to use or an attractive site you would like to use as a model, it is suggested that you get permission. You can increase the likelihood of getting permission by offering to give credit for the source code or site design on your Website. Im creating a Website with links to other organizations. Id like to use their logos as buttons.Currently, the inclusion of links on a Website is not considered a violation of copyright law. This is viewed much as a bibliography in a book because you are merely assisting the user in finding other relevant materials. You should be careful not to have links to sites you suspect may contain materials that lack the copyright holders permission. However, the use of logos as buttons is probably a violation of trademark law. Get permission, create your own buttons, or use text only to create the links. Im part of a listserv on bibliographic instruction. Ive got several substantive email messages Id like to incorporate into my Website and Ill be forwarding these to colleagues as well.Email messages are subject to copyright law as well, since they are original works of authorship fixed in a tangible medium of expression. By either incorporating them into your Website or forwarding them on to colleagues without permission, you have probably committed copyright infringement. It would be best to get permission. On the other hand, those sending email can provide a note as part of their submission that either gives people permission to forward or use their message or advises them of copyright protection. Many discussion lists have policies governing the forwarding and use of email messages. Be aware of these before you post to a list. If you are sending email containing original material that you want to protect, make a print copy and date it. I think Ive twice been a victim of copyright infringement. What can I do?First, someone reproduced my library Website with very few changes and provided a different URL. In examining his site, I noticed that he used the same arrangement, the same links, including access to some of our databases, and the same text. All he did was substitute his own color scheme for mine (purpose squares instead of red dots as bullets). Second, someone FTPed my legal history site into his intranet, claiming it was for demonstration purposes. I was quite surprised to see significant sections of my content, including illustrations, integrated as part of his site with no mention of my work and in contravention of our agreement. Again, copyright law may protect not only the content of the site, but also the arrangement, the graphics, and the selection of links. Access to many databases is under licensing agreements with the database vendors, so the first infringer may have violated the terms of the agreement and be liable under contract law as well as copyright law. Although it may not be worth your time and energy to pursue litigation, certainly a letter to the infringer, from you, your attorney, or a person of authority in your organization, may be all that the individual needs to persuade him to remove his site. Also, a note on your own site to indicate that yours is the original and valid site would be helpful to alert others about the impostor site. Extra vigilance should be used in designing links to databases to protect the librarys contractual relationships with vendors and to keep control of and training for these services under the purview of the library. In the case of the second infringer, it was the failure to acknowledge who did that work on the legal history sections of the site that was most hurtful. A letter to the infringer requesting that credit be given for content authorship would be one solution. However, due to the deceptive practices used to capture and use the site content, it was more prudent to resign from the project. I created a Website on reference sources for our library. How do I protect it through copyright?If you created the Website as part of your duties as an employee of the library, you are not eligible for protection under copyright law. Under copyright law, this would be considered a work for hire, because it was done under the auspices of your employment. However, it would be prudent for you to work with your organization in this matter. Educate your employer about the need to protect its investment in your work and assist with registering for copyright protection. As an alternative, put a copyright notice on the site, with your name as author, and a statement that the site was created on behalf of your organization. This warns the potential infringer and provides a contact person for those who wish to obtain permission to use content from the site. There is a danger in using outside agencies or individuals to design and implement your organizations Website, because they will be considered the copyright holder of the site. Have a contract with the designer that clearly transfers copyright and provides your organization with rights over the content, design and portability of the site. Ive found lots of interesting artwork on the Web Id like to use in my own Website. Since it is on the Internet, it must be free for anyone to use.The artwork may be free in a monetary sense, but not according to copyright law. Again, even without registration and notice, copyright protection extends automatically to original works fixed in a tangible medium of expression. This includes artwork on Websites. Before you load text, graphics or other materials onto your Website, you should try to obtain permission from the copyright owner. Most Websites include a link to the authors email or a mailing address. Works that are in the public domain, such as government publications or items which due to their age are no longer eligible for protection, do not require permission to be added to your Website. However, to be on the safe side, assume that an item on the Web is protected until a thorough investigation proves otherwise. But what about fair use?You may be able to include a limited amount of text or artwork from another Website, particularly if your Website is for nonprofit educational purposes. Of course, as with traditional print materials, the concept of fair use is fact sensitive and there is no bright line between what is fair use and what is a violation of copyright law. Reasonable people, including judges, can differ on the interpretation and application of fair use guidelines. Clearly, the fact that the use of the material on a Website is for education rather than profit is important in the analysis. However, in addition to looking at the purpose of the use, a court will also look at the other three factors: the nature of the material (whether it is creative or fact-based), the amount of the material used, and the effect on the potential market. While one could argue that the making of a single copy, whether it be a journal article or a Web page, has little effect on the market, publishers and creators are concerned about the digital environment, because it is so easy to distribute materials widely with impunity. This global distribution could impact the market significantly. If your site is accessible by the public, it may be harder to prove that the site was for educational purposes only, particularly if it is on a hot topic that many people beyond your course would be interested in. In other words, your intent in creating the site may differ greatly from the reality of who will be using the site. Limiting access to your site to only students, teachers, and faculty through firewalls or passwords, for example, may strengthen your case in the analysis of this factor. Other techniques should be the use of a counter to prove minimal usage, having a time limit on the Websites existence, or refraining from advertising the URL or the availability of the site in printed sources or through search tools on the web. In addition, try to provide as much value-added content to the site as possible. If you use several lines of poetry, add analysis and background. This may then be considered transformative use because it changes the material to something new and creates utility. Also, look for ways to bypass copyright protection. Describe or summarize an article rather than including the article text itself. If you need illustrations, try to find photographs or artwork already in the public domain. This may be quite easy for landmarks and historic figures. It is important to remember that citing the source of the material is of no legal consequence if you are trying to protect yourself from a claim of copyright infringement. Proper citation is important for intellectual honesty to prevent charges of plagiarism and academic misconduct. Ive found old photographs Id like to use on my Website, but I cannot locate a copyright holder. What can I do?First, be ready to show due diligence in your search for the copyright holder. Document all steps in the search process. Be sure to check whether the photographs are registered with the U.S. Copyright Office. If not, even if a claim of copyright infringement is brought, the damages will likely be limited and will not include attorney fees, making it more risky for the copyright holder to pursue the claim. The use of the photographs is subject to a risk-benefit analysis. You must weigh the likelihood that a copyright holder still exists who would pursue a claim of copyright infringement against the potential benefits of having the material as part of your Website. Remember that with photographs, it is the photographer who holds the copyright, not the subjects, although this is not necessarily so for photographs taken before 1978. What else should I do for maximum legal protection of my site?This is outside the copyright law, but you might put a disclaimer on a site which contains anything beyond basic, readily obtainable information. A disclaimer is particularly important on health, legal and investment advice-type pages, including a warning that the user should seek competent advice from a professional rather than relying on the Website alone for information. If access to databases is provided by your Website, a brief note that these are subject to licensing agreements and who can have access can be helpful. Be sensitive about what you include on your Website to avoid charges of defamation or invasion of privacy. Ask yourself if you would include the same information or items as part of printed material or a library display. Have standard formats for your sites, have a content policy, or have a panel of reviewers who can approve site design and content. BibliographyArdito, Stephanie C. Electronic copyright under siege.

Madonna Badger stood before about a thousand people in a cavernous Manhattan church Thursday and told them about her daughters.
Once full of life, the three girls lay side-by-side in coffins at St. Thomas Church, between Badger and the mourners. They and Badger's parents died in a Christmas fire at her Stamford home.
To the right was Lilian Elizabeth Badger, 9, Badger's first-born. In the middle was 7-year-old Sarah Hudson Badger. Next to Sarah was her twin sister, Grace McCarthy Badger.
"This is why I can stand before you today," said Badger, 47, who works as an ad executive. "Because they are my little girls, and I want you to hear about them." She went on to describe each daughter's personality, giving "little drops in an ocean of memories."
Badger spoke fondly of her walks through the city with Lily in her Baby Bjorn infant carrier. When Lily got a little older, she entertained the family with her smiles, her singing and her dancing.
"Lily sang before she spoke," Badger said. And when she danced, "it was with moves that far outdid Michael Jackson," she said, prompting laughter.
One day, Lily "begged me to tell her when she will die," she said. As Badger's voice broke, she said, "I told her life is a mystery and we never know when she will die."
Sarah was the sensitive one. Her goal was to "make you feel good and loved," Badger said.
"She liked to lie in bed at night and hold my hand and tell me how much she loved me," she said.
Sarah was the one who lightened the mood during a trip to a nursing home where Badger's father, Lomer Johnson, was dressed as Santa. The residents were so sick and elderly, "it was sad," Badger said.
So Sarah picked up the sugar cookies that Badger's mother, Pauline Johnson, had made and started handing them out, she said.
Later, the little girl told her mom, "Somebody better tell the tooth fairy that this is where she needs to bring the teeth," Badger said, bringing more laughter.
Then Badger talked about "Gracie," whom she described as "fearless." Grace couldn't care less what people thought of her, she said.
Markedly different from her twin sister, Grace was "the first one to pick up the creepiest, crawliest bug she could find and try to give it to me, because I hate creepy, crawly things."
She loved math, loved solving problems and had a habit of fashioning things out of Band-Aids, Badger said.
"There was nothing Grace Badger couldn't make with a Band-Aid," she said.
Like Lily, Grace also had asked about death.
"Grace asked me a thousand times if she was going to die before me, and I said, 'No, Gracie, no, that is not going to happen,'" Badger said as she cried. "But it happened."
As if comforting herself and the mourners at the same time, Badger turned to the topic of love.
"There is no power greater on this Earth than love," she said. "God is love. God is everything."

Best Midwest Coffeehouse Desserts
Unforgettable muffins
Muffins were meant to savor along with a cheering cup of morning coffee. Here are two of our own creations. A swirl of both cheesecake and brownies is delectable in Fudge Brownie Cheesecake Muffins, and a dab of lemon curd gives a burst of citrus flavor to Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins.
Jerabek's Baked Apple Doughnuts
These are unlike any doughnut you've ever eaten. Actually, they're muffins from Jerabek's Bohemian Coffeehouse and Bakery in Saint Paul. The center of the apple-cinnamon delight sinks, giving it a doughnut look. We thought they tasted a little like a funnel cake. Jerabek's is proud of its heritage— it was started as a bakery more than 100 years ago. Aunt Hilda's Sugar Cream Cookies is an old family recipe.
Chocolate Espresso Walnut Tiles
The flavors of bittersweet chocolate, coffee and walnuts— topped with cream cheese frosting and a brownie glaze— combine to make this luscious dessert.

Simon's Coffee Shop Ginger Cookies
These spiced softies are a top seller at Simon's Coffee Shop and Cafe in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. They get a coating of sugar that bakes in for a sweet finish. Shortbread Cookies are another customer favorite. "My shortbread recipe is excellent with any coffee drink," says Dan Kenyon, owner of Simon's. Dan and his wife, Theresa, bake all their treats from scratch. "Everyone is going to eat pastries or cookies sometime," Dan says. "It's better to have them be real, homemade and good."
Delice Scones
At Delice European Bakery and Coffee Bar in Omaha's historic downtown Old Market area, Pastry Chef Heidi Schlict tempts customers with scones. "These scones are very versatile," Heidi says. "They are a great addition to any breakfast table, brunch or tea. Even a treat for a coffee break or after-school snack. Here, I use a base recipe and add various ingredients as the season or my cravings and whims dictate." She says the recipe doubles nicely if you're serving a crowd. There's a variation to please almost everyone.
Broadway Cafe Apple Cake
In the trendy Westport area of Kansas City, Missouri, customers at Broadway Cafe can taste samples of that day's baked goods, including frosted scones, biscotti, coffee cake and this moist Apple Cake. Each is the perfect accompaniment to coffee that owners Sara Honan and Jon Cates roast a few blocks away. A generous portion of chopped Granny Smith apples adds flavor and moisture to the Apple Cake. Be careful turning it out of the pan; it's a tender coffee cake.
Another treat from Broadway Cafe is Soft Molasses Ginger Cookies, where sour cream makes for moist, gingery cookies.

BEVERLY — The cleanup continued at a downtown senior apartment complex and a North Beverly motel yesterday, a day after firefighters battled three fires within a span of eight hours.
Eight people were displaced from the McLean building, a Beverly Housing Authority property at 22 Federal St., fire Chief Paul Cotter said.
One couple that uses wheelchairs was moved into another unit in the same building. The American Red Cross found temporary residences for some, while others are staying with family members, Cotter said.
Firefighters were maintaining a 24-hour watch on the five-story building because the fire had disabled the fire alarm and sprinkler system, he said.
"We're keeping firefighters there day and night with radios," Cotter said.
Meanwhile, the Beverly Garden Suites motel on Route 1A was shut down after firefighters had to tear up ceilings, walls and floors in most of the rooms to fight a fire that spread inside a wall.
"There's still no power and no water, or walls and ceilings," said office manager Nancy Victorine. "It's a mess but things are moving along pretty good."
Victorine was hoping part of the motel could reopen in a week or two.
Cotter said the motel does not have a sprinkler system. He said the fire department would advocate for a new fire alarm and sprinkler system in the building as part of the repairs.
"Being a hotel a lot of things were grandfathered," he said. "We always try to push for an update when there's an extensive renovation."
Fire officials said all three fires, including one at a home at 15 Dodge St., were accidental. The motel fire was caused by workers using a torch to fix a pipe. The McLean fire was caused by combustibles too close to a gas stove. The Dodge Street fire was caused when a wooden beam next to a fireplace heated up.
Cotter said it was fortunate that people were home at all three locations and were able to report the fires and get out safely. The chief said his department also benefited greatly from the help of surrounding fire departments.
"If we didn't have mutual aid we would have been in quite a bit of trouble," he said. "In the beginning stages of all these fires we didn't have enough firefighters on scene. They were all dangerous fires. It looks like we did it with ease, but we really didn't. There were a lot of things that worked out in our favor."
Cotter praised the work of his crews, who were basically battling fires from noontime on.
"They did an unbelievable job," he said. "They had a lot to do, but that's what they're there to do. They feel like they accomplished something."

"Totally worth the $25 savings"
5.0 starson by mrsbristerPros: -Minimal intrusions
-"Special offers" are actually pretty good - for instance, so far I've gotten a $10 Amazon credit for purchasing a book that I already planned on buying and a $5.00 Amazon On-Demand credit for nothing.
-Web browser
-Downloading persoCons: -Web browser is a bit slow, but I suppose that is to be expected
-Waiting on new features, which Amazon claims are coming soon (such as library rentals and lending books to friends)
-Less magazine subscriptions available (as opposed to the Nook)
-Cases coSummary: When I finally decided to purchase an e-reader, I was a bit daunted by all of the choices (mainly the different options from Amazon and Barnes and Noble), so I decided to go to a place where I could see all of the options side-by-side - Best Buy. I'll be honest, I wasn't looking at the pricey-er models (i.e. the Nook Color) since I didn't want to waste money on something I might end up tossing aside and never using. And I didn't feel like I needed 3G since I have wireless at home and almost everywhere I go. In the end, I came down to the Kindle Wi-Fi (with and without offers), the Nook, and the Nook Simple Touch Reader. I almost instantly ruled out the regular Nook - I didn't care for the way the color touch screen worked and handled, and it seemed much heavier than the Kindle or the Nook Simple Touch, not to mention the technical facts regarding the amount of memory and battery life. In the end, I chose the Kindle with special offers, again because I was looking to buy the best reader for the money. I figured that at the very least Amazon has more available titles and is more popular in general. My main concern was that I knew the Nook has a web browser and apps, but was told by the Best Buy employee "assisting me" that the Kindle did not. I went days before I figured that out. Using the web browser under "experimental features" I am easily able to check my e-mail or facebook page, check google, etc. I was also told that I would not be able to download personal documents, and it definitely would not be free. Again, this was completely untrue. I can e-mail any documents I like to my kindle for no charge (using the wireless). I recommend converting them to pdf files first - they are much easier to read this way.

Songwriter Nathan Pemberton grew up on Holiday Shores Court, a two-block stretch of road located on the Florida panhandle. With breaking waves and sandy beaches nearby, he began playing piano at age seven and picked up the guitar several years later, leading to a number of memberships in teenage bands and college groups. The geography of his home turf continued to inspire his writing, though, and he launched Holiday Shores in his early twenties, rounding out the band's lineup with Josh Martin, Ryan O'Malley, and Peejay Perez de Alejo.

We love our tees and hoodies so much we could talk about them all day, but that'd be a bit weird. So we'll just say that we're immensely proud of the quality of all our garments and the super futuristic technology that creates our unique t-shirts and hoodie prints. Our t-shirts are long lasting, individual and extremely useful for abiding by public decency laws.
We advise you cold wash your garments and hang them out to dry. It'll keep them super soft, looking their best and it's even good for the environment.
Slim fit, order a size up if you'd like it less fitting. If you like your hoodies baggy, go two sizes up.

► Cell death triggers the process of nucleocytoplasmic coagulation (NCC) ► NCC is the abrupt misfolding and disulfide crosslinking of intracellular proteins ► NCC-aggregated proteins facilitate plasmin formation and subsequent proteolysis ► Thus, NCC limits release and promotes proteolytic clearance of dead cell debris
Cellular injury causes a myriad of processes that affect proteostasis. We describe nucleocytoplasmic coagulation (NCC), an intracellular disulfide-dependent protein crosslinking event occurring upon late-stage cell death that orchestrates the proteolytic removal of misfolded proteins. In vitro and in vivo models of neuronal injury show that NCC involves conversion of soluble intracellular proteins, including tubulin, into insoluble oligomers. These oligomers, also seen in human brain tissue following neurotrauma, act as a cofactor and substrate for the plasminogen-activating system. In plasminogen−/− mice, levels of misfolded β-tubulin were elevated and its clearance delayed following neurotrauma, demonstrating a requirement for plasminogen in the removal of NCC constituents. While additional in vivo studies will further dissect this phenomenon, our study clearly shows that NCC, a process analogous to the formation of thrombi, generates an aggregated protein scaffold that limits release of cellular components and recruits clearance mechanisms to the site of injury.

George Santayana famously wrote, Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.
Santayana's point in this much misunderstood phrase, according to historian Ted McAllister, is that without memory each generation is forced to learn from scratch what the previous generation learned from experience. As Santayana wrote immediately following that famous quote, In the first stage of life the mind is frivolous and easily distracted, it misses progress by failing in consecutiveness and persistence. This is the condition of children and barbarians, in which instinct has learned nothing from experience.
To live a fully human life is to remember. So we are lucky that we have songwriters like Ben Bedford. Ben is a folk singer from Illinois who has made it his life's business to tell stories of events and people who have made an impact on the American people.
Take, for example, Ben's signature song, Lincoln's Man. This tells the story of a man from Virginia who, during the Civil War, decides to enlist in the Union Army despite his family's Confederate sympathies. He goes to war with a lover's note, a mother's prayer and a father's curse. But I'm Lincoln's man, for better or for worse.
This song helps us remember that the American Civil War really was a fight among family members.
Or take the story of Emmitt Till, a 14-year-old black boy from Chicago murdered in Mississippi in 1955 after being too friendly to a white woman. The two men who murdered him were acquitted of the crime by an all-white jury, but only a year later they confessed their crime to a journalist.
In Ben's song of the incident, Land of the Shadows, Ben sings of Till, Just a Northern boy didn't mean a thing, only seen Mississippi in magazines. Gonna tear his momma's heart apart, in the land of the shadows, light and dark.
Ben's poignant song helps us recall past injustice and recognize the humanity of those around us.
Ben is at home singing songs about Amelia Earhart, Jack London or the father of Delta Blues, Charlie Patton. He can weave a whole song out of Dorthea Lange's famous Depression-era photo, Migrant Mother, or about the Sangamon river in his native Illinois. His songs help us remember who we are and where we've been.
Luckily for Aberdeen, Ben Bedford will be here on Friday, playing at the Sixth Avenue Gallery. Doors open at 7:30 p.m. If this sounds like an advertisement, that's because it is. I have grown to admire Ben's musical talent, and having seen him perform a couple times, I know that he puts on a good show.
Ben likes to joke that if a song's character dies at the end, it's a folk song, but if the character lives, it's a pop song. This shows that Ben has a sense of humor about his songs that often depict the more gritty side of life. So come to the show and let a master storyteller entertain you and help you remember.

Joe Lovano Us Five: Kennett Square, PA, January 19, 2013
Longwood Gardens
Kennett Square, PA
January 19, 2013
Renowned saxophonist Joe Lovano brought his esteemed Joe Lovano Us Five ensemble to Kennett Square's bucolic Longwood Gardens on a crisp January evening, touring in support of Cross Culture, his 23rd release for Blue Note Records. Performing in the Conservatory's intimate ballroom, the unconventional lineup entertained a sold-out audience in an elegant prewar setting that provided an ideal backdrop for Lovano's timeless artistry.
The capacity crowd was no doubt due in part to the presence of recent Grammy winner Esperanza Spalding , Us Five's original bassist, whose newfound celebrity and current touring schedule necessitated Lovano's recruitment of Peter Slavov as a substitute bassist (consequently, Spaulding and Slavov take turns playing on Cross Culture). Although most of Us Five's members are younger than the leader, pianist James Weidman is his peer; their relationship dates back to the formation of the saxophonist's nonet in the 1990's.
The personnel's most notable detail however, is the inclusion of two drummers. While the idea of using multiple percussionists in a jazz context is not new, simultaneously employing two full trap set drummers is rare. It is to Lovano's credit that he chose Otis Brown III and Francisco Mela , whose congenial rapport offers a fascinating study in contrasts. Despite their very different approaches, they perfectly complement each other, laying out to afford extra space as often as providing dramatic accents, even finishing each other's phrases on occasion.
Lovano opened the set unaccompanied on tenor with abstract, intervallic phrases that gradually congealed into the knotty theme to "Us Five," culled from the group's 2009 Blue Note debut, Folk Art. While alternating with the drummers it became immediately apparent that Lovano's statement in the liner notes to Cross Culture that "everyone is leading and following" is a truism, and nowhere is this more evident than in the quintet's live performances. Their studio albums are masterfully concise creations, yet in concert Lovano spontaneously conducts his sidemen, setting up trios, duos and solos that allow each member ample room to interpret the material in their own fashion.
The opener proved indicative of Lovano's expansive concepts, encompassing spirited statements from all, highlighted by Weidman's cascading linear runs and Spaulding's virtuosic fretworkwhose palpable enthusiasm was shared by her equally beaming partners. Taking his cue, Lovano switched to straight alto and concluded the labyrinthine composition with sprightly trades directed amongst Brown and Mela, his keen rhythmic articulation inspiring focused attentiveness from both drummers.
Stringing together a trio of originals from their newest release, the group launched into the jaunty swinger "Blessings In May," the lead tune, before seamlessly transitioning into "PM," the album's frenetic closer. Gradually, they collectively modulated into a hypnotic rendition of "Cross Culture," the haunting title track. Reveling in the song's bluesy ambience and languid tempo, Lovano demonstrated his sophisticated mastery of the tenor with a series of soulful refrains.
"Yardbird Suite," first heard on Bird Songs, the band's 2011 Charlie Parker-themed Blue Note release, materialized from an impressionistic haze, as the leader's breathy tenor elicitations incrementally intensified, underscored by Brown and Mela's nimble interchanges. The two drummers took turns accompanying Spaulding's quicksilver bass solo, revealing subtle differences in their techniques, even at low volume. Brown's controlled precision offered cool yin to Mela's fiery yang, whose brash cymbal crashes and hard-hitting attack provided dynamic contrast. Spaulding and Weidman's probing extrapolations were followed by Lovano's diaphanous tenor coda, which subtly evoked the graceful spirituality of John Coltrane .
The leader introduced the band members mid-set, before announcing Billy Strayhorn 's opulent ballad "Star Cross Lovers," which featured Lovano's most heartfelt and lyrical playing of the datean aesthetic extended by Weidman and Spaulding's plangent testimonials. Spaulding led the opening of the mesmerizing "Drum Song" accompanied by Brown and Mela's exotic pointillist accents, as a funky Afro-Latin variation on "Golden Horn" slowly emerged, before Brown and Mela engaged in a furious duel that peaked with the thunderous volume of a drum line march. Lovano quickly stated the angular melody of "Modern Man" on aulochrome, closing the triptych medley with zealous fervor.

text: What Makes the Jaguar E-Type So Pretty? This year marks the 50th anniversary of the Jaguar E-Type, a car widely considered to be one of the most beautifully designed of all time. We asked four experts why its appeal has endured. By Andrew Del-Colle Email Comments 0 Share Back 1 of 5 Next Back Next View Larger View Thumbnails Beauty may be in the eye of the beholder, but some things are aesthetically pleasing no matter who's lookinga freshly manicured baseball field, a perfectly poured Guinness and, of course, the Jaguar E-Type. First unveiled at the 1961 Geneva auto show, the Jaguar E-Type shocked the world and quickly catapulted to iconic status. Its drool-inducing design helped sell more than 70,000 cars from 1961 to 1975. The fact that it went faster than a Ferrari for half the price didn't hurt, either. Rarely does a design or sports-car conversation end without mention of the E-Typeor the XKE, as it was called in the U.S. It's an alluring mix of natural shapes and surrealist fluidity. In fact, the E-Type roadster is one of only three vehicles to be admitted into the Museum of Modern Art's permanent design collection. But what is it that makes this car a work of art? To help us figure it out, we asked four of today's most prominent car designers and aficionados to share their thoughts on the question at hand.

WSU baseball got a major boost on Monday when only junior pitcher Adam Conley was able to agree to terms on a pro contract, as sluggers Derek Jones and Taylor Ard will now return to school.
Is there hope for recovery in 2012? The answer is yes. (Isn't it always?) We look at who the players are who could step up to get WSU baseball back in the postseason.
The Florida Marlins use their second pick (72nd overall) to scoop up Washington State LHP Adam Conley on Day 2 of the 2011 MLB Draft.
The big day has arrived for almost-certain-to-be-gone WSU pitcher Adam Conley -- the first round of the MLB First-Year Player Draft begins tonight at 4 p.m. PDT, and mock drafts abound as the hour draws closer.
WSU left hander Adam Conley, who throws in the low- to mid-90s, is likely to hear his name called early in the 2011 MLB Draft next week. We catch up with Jason Churchill of ESPN.com's MLB Draft Blog for the inside scoop.
In what was a season of disappointment for the WSU baseball team, there was one enormous bright spot: Redshirt sophomore first baseman Taylor Ard, who was named to the All-Pac-10 team today.
With baseball's regular season speeding towards the finish line, WSU began its stretch run with a nice -- but slightly unsatisfying -- series win over the Washington Huskies at Bailey-Brayton Field this weekend.
After squeaking by Dallas Baptist in the finale of the two-game series on Tuesday, 8-7, WSU finished up the homestand by sweeping Utah Valley State, culminated by a 16-2 whipping of the Wolverines on Sunday. Next up: No. 20 Fresno State.
The WSU baseball team opened the season by winning two of its first three. Today's win was in true Cougar fashion: A come-from-behind job keyed by a seventh-inning homer by Taylor Ard.
Adam Conley strikes out nine in his season debut while freshman Jason Monda goes 3-for-3 in his first game.
