Obama Discusses Ukraine, TTIP with EU Leaders
"The world is safer and more just" when the European Union and the United States stand together, US President Barack Obama stated.
Obama is on an official trip to Brussels, the first such visit to the EU's political heart since 2005.
Leaders of both parties stressed they have similar views on Ukraine's standoff with Russia and vowed to finalize details on a controversial Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP), a document which could lead to free trade between the EU and the US.
Ukraine overshadowed all other issues that were on the agenda.
European Council President Herman van Rompuy described Russian actions on the Crimean peninsula as "a disgrace in the 21st century," as he was quoted by the BBC.
Obama called on Russia to de-escalate the situation in Ukraine. He praised the EU for measures it adopted against Moscow last week, warning Russia that its "isolation will deepen" if it continues to foment tensions.
Earlier, the group of seven industrialized nations, known as G-7, issued a similar warning, threatening to use "damaging economic sanctions".
United States' President also asserted that, though such measures would pose a risk to gas-dependent European countries, discussions were "under way" on facilitating exports of US gas to the continent.
Before his first official visit to the EU's headquarters, the US President went to a cemetery in Flanders to pay tribute to fallen US soldiers who died during WWI and are buried there.
Obama is also to meet NATO's secretary-general Anders Fogh Rasmussen later on Thursday.
Then he will travel to Rome, where he will be received by Pope Francis. Belgium has spent around EUR 10 M on security measures prior to Obama's visit.

Welcome to the South, Gwyneth
By suburbsanity on April 30, 2010
BlogHer Original Post
Gwyneth Paltrow apparently just finished filming a movie in Nashville, TN. She was recently quoted as saying, "I was so bad with the food and alcohol in Nashville. If you saw me naked compared to what I looked like when I did 'Iron Man 2,' when I was exercising every day -- I'll get it back together, but I've never eaten so much fried food and white flour in my life, ever. Oh, God."
Well Gwyneth, I'll pass on the seeing you naked part, although that was a very kind offer. As a native Tennessean and a gal who has spent my entire life living in either Tennessee or North Carolina, at first I thought I should be offended by her remark. Then I realized that no one was probably holding a gun to her head and forcing her to eat fried foods, white flour, and drink alcohol while she was in our state. We may have a bad diet, but we are fairly well known for not being that rude. And truly, I bet you'd have to mainline lard to make that body of hers look pudgy.
I passed on being offended and decided to embrace Gwyneth's observation about my state. Truly, we southerners do have our own unique way of enjoying the earth's bounty. And mostly, we do dip it in white flour and fry it up. You can't possibly think about the south without thinking about fried chicken. I would venture to say that a sizable portion of our school children here do not even realize chicken can be served any other way.
But we don't stop at chicken. Get near a body of water and you will find that anything that can be reeled in or snagged in a net can be deep fried. Fish, shrimp, oysters, crabs, clams -- you name it, and we will fry it. And serve it with a side of fried potatoes and fried hush puppies.
Want an appetizer? How about fried mushrooms, fried cheese, fried green tomatoes or even fried dill pickles? For a side dish, we can provide fried okra or fried carrots.
If we can't figure out how to bread it and fry it, we will just add enough fat to the pan to fry it that way -- we are particularly fond of doing our greens that way. Yes, anything that has some nutritional value in it, we can eliminate by frying. We are very thorough.
But where we really excel is in the dessert arena. Here we have learned how to deep fry Oreos, candy bars, moon pies and even Twinkies.
It's a cholesterol fest every day in the south. But, you don't have to eat that way. I can't even remember the last time I ate something fried. But those foods sure are good in moderation.
Moderation is what we don't have much of around here. So here's my tip. Travel to the south sometime and enjoy some of our delicious fried delicacies. There are so many I didn't list and some you don't even want to know about. But come, enjoy, just like Gwyneth, and then go back home to your nutritionally sound diets.
And if you're looking for a career path for your son or daughter, our area could use a few good cardiologists.

Jason Reitman's "Men, Women & Children" comedy-drama trailer (video)
August 20, 2014 - 18:10 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - A trailer for Jason Reitman's next film, "Men, Women & Children", hit the web, TheWrap said.
The "Juno" and "Up in the Air" director is coming off the bummer bust of his adaptation of the book "Labor Day," which mixed crime and melancholy into a period piece starring Josh Brolin and Kate Winslet, who played a woman entirely disconnected from the world. This time around, Reitman presents a more contemporary setting, with cell phones and technology causing so much interconnection that people are miserable all over again.
The more things change, the more they stay the same.
Adam Sandler likes hookers, his wife Rosemarie DeWitt likes at least one other man, "Short Term 12" star Kaitlyn Dever feels left out, Jennifer Garner is mopey, "Fault in Our Stars" breakout Ansel Elgort isn't sure how to text, and all in all, it's tough living in the suburbs.
Below is the synopsis of the film, which is adapted from a book written by Chad Kultgen and debuts at the Toronto Film Festival:
"Men, Women & Children" follows the story of a group of high school teenagers and their parents as they attempt to navigate the many ways the internet has changed their relationships, their communication, their self-image, and their love lives. The film attempts to stare down social issues such as video game culture, anorexia, infidelity, fame hunting, and the proliferation of illicit material on the internet. As each character and each relationship is tested, we are shown the variety of roads people choose – some tragic, some hopeful – as it becomes clear that no one is immune to this enormous social change that has come through our phones, our tablets, and our computers.
Top stories
On their engagement, family legend has it, he offered to buy back the love letters he wrote to Mercedes so he could destroy them.
Neil Cross said viewers would be eager to find out what happened to the character next, who was last seen in July 2013.
The school offers an "Armenian education for everybody", transmitting inclusive and human rights values through the Armenian culture.
Paul Dergarabedian noted the box office total was down about 7 percent compared with the same weekend last year.

PlayStation Blog that "premium themes" for PS3 will be available on the PSN beginning tomorrow. Of course, "premium" means there will be a price to pay, and that would be $1-2.
The premium themes appear to be a little more artistic than the free ones the company has been doling out on a regular basis since the system launched. Sony states approximately 6-10 premium themes should be available a month and explains in the comments of the post that free themes will continue to be offered along with the premium content.

ingredient_list is a list that displays something like... ('Sugar', '1 Cup') and so on... The def is for a combobox that is selected, so what I would like is for the treeview to clear and not just keep adding more ingredients. Unfortunately I don't see a clear() method
if theres a programmatic way of identifying what is there first (enumerating a rowcount would be good...) this is driving me nuts. I did notice in the docs that you can use the delete method, but it wants to know what the item is to delete... if I use
I get
TclError: Item 0 not found
So I would assume it wants something like 'Sugar' as the Item...
of course its a catch 22 because if you select the combobox and want to clear the ingredients treeview, the same ingredient items are not in every recipe, so how do we know what items to delete?...
many thanks to any help and please let me know if you need any more details... I am fairly new to working with the treeview object, but its making me want to just work with two listboxes on a canvas.

From: Austin, TX
Region: Southwest
Topic: Invasive Plants, Cacti and Succulents
Title: Removal of mature agaves
Answered by: Barbara Medford
QUESTION:Hello- we live in Austin, TX and have a bed of different varieties of agave. They are near the walkway to our house, and are so out of control they pose a hazard to our guests walking up to the house, our dog (already got poked in the eye) and our son. We need to get rid of them! But because they have propagated so much there are layers upon layers, and needless to say very difficult to "prune back" because of the sharp points on the leaves or even dig up at this point. Any suggestions on getting rid of the whole lot of them? Even pesticides at this point we'd consider. It's too bad there's a large wild rose bush smack in the middle of them and some nice aloe we'd like to keep but we may have to sacrifice those too. The bed is approximately 14 feet by 6 feet. Thank you for any suggestions!
Boy, eighty-four square feet of Agave is a whole lot of sharp things. At the outset, while we sympathize with your problem, we really don't like to recommend herbicides. If you decide you have no alternative, you can go to a reputable nursery, purchase their recommended product and be sure to read and follow the directions very carefully.
It appears that your main problem is that the whole thing kind of got ahead of you, and there is no question that children, pets and maybe in-laws can be hurt by agave. We know you don't want to hear this, but digging them out with a good sharp shovel is probably the only way. And disposing of them is going to be tough, too. Please don't put them in the compost pile, those thorns can last forever. A long-handled shovel, long heavy leather gloves and maybe heavy pruners to kind of cut the job down to size are going to be necessary. It seems a real waste, too, because agaves are always big sellers when we have our semi-annual Plant Sales at the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center. Of course, our customers are buying little bitty pots, but your plants were little bitty once, too.
One possibility that occurs to us would be preserving the larger, older specimens, especially those a little more safely removed from the edges of the space. It takes an agave from 8 to 40 years to bloom, and when it does, it's really spectacular. Of course, then the plant dies, having used up all its energy making those blooms. It should be a little easier (a relative term), as you work your way in from the edge, to ease the smaller "pups" out with your shovel. Have you considered offering these to other gardeners? As we said, the succulents, including the agaves, are always popular at our Plant Sales, and you could probably find some others who would be happy to take some of the smaller plants off your hands, as it were. This is going to be slow, tedious, and possibly painful, but it will give you a chance to save your wild rose and the aloes.
And, lesson for the future: When the pups pop, get them out while they're little.

The AmeriGlide Rave is an ultra-compact stair lift designed to make restoring accessibility to your multi-level home as convenient and easy as possible! Homeowners with exceptionally narrow stair cases will love the ultra-thin design of this stair lift. The lift unit takes up only slightly more than 11 inches when folded, allowing able-bodied housemates and guests optimal access to the stairs. The AmeriGlide Rave is built for durability, with a tough all-metal case construction that withstands normal wear-and-tear far better than other comparable stair lift brands. The powerful worm-rack system can safely transport up to 350 pounds of user weight, and an adjustable-height padded seat with durable folding arms ensures that you will remain comfortable during transit - the seat measures in at 19 inches wide and 14 inches deep. The AmeriGlide Rave differs from many of our competitors' stair lift units in that the track attaches to the stairs themselves rather than the wall, and every point of contact uses a single bracket, making installation easier on homeowners and handymen. The Rave is compatible with any standard household power outlet, and the battery that powers the unit charges at the top or bottom of the track, providing a reserve of power that keeps your stair lift going even in the event of a power outage. An arm-mounted operation switch is included as a standard feature, along with AmeriGlide's standard array of safety switches that prevent the lift from operating if an obstruction blocks your path. The seat swivels at the top, away from the steps, so the rider can safely exit or enter the stair lift. Best of all, the AmeriGlide Rave is a product of American ingenuity and workmanship, and every unit is manufactured right here in the United States of America! Stair lift users need a unit that is safe, comfortable, reliable, and easy to install. The AmeriGlide Rave satisfies all of your needs.

EASTCHESTER, N.Y. – Kindergarten and first-grade students at Waverly Elementary School in Eastchester will be treated to a musical assembly on Friday to raise sustainability awareness.
Bash the Trash Environmental Arts will play a show at the school using recycled trash as instruments. The group combines science, music and environmental awareness through performances, educational programs and social initiatives.
The artists play music, create art using found objects and serve as consultants for environmental arts education. They will showcase their introductory show for the students.
The show introduces the basic concepts of sound, vibration and instrument design while providing a tangible example of the "reuse" portion of the slogan: "reduce, reuse, recycle."
The group will build and perform using instruments made from recycled and reused materials. The performance will serve as a journey into sound, science and music. Students will learn how the instruments are made, why they work and how they can make their own using items found around the town.

HAVANA (AP) — Cuba's state telecom monopoly confirmed Thursday that the island's first hard-wired Internet connection to the outside world has been activated, but said it won't lead to an immediate increase in access.
Cuba confirms undersea cable carrying data traffic
In a statement published in Communist Party newspaper Granma and other official media, ETECSA broke its long silence on the ALBA-1 fiber-optic cable, which island officials once boasted would increase capacity 3,000-fold.
Until now Cuba's Internet has been strictly via ponderous satellite links, and out of reach for the great majority of islanders. ETECSA said the new cable has been operational since August, initially carrying international voice calls, and the company has been conducting data traffic tests on the cable since Jan. 10.
"When the testing process concludes, the submarine cable being put into operation will not mean that possibilities for access will automatically multiply," ETECSA said.
"It will be necessary to invest in internal telecommunications infrastructure," the company said, adding that even then the goal is "gradual growth of a service that we offer mostly for free and with social aims in mind."
The $70 million ALBA-1 arrived on the island from Venezuela in February 2011 to great hoopla, but officials soon stopped mentioning the cable amid rumors of mismanagement and corruption involving the project.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Yaroslav Lokomotiv Advances To The Second Round Of The KHL Playoffs
by Paul on 03/19/14 at 04:51 PM ET
Comments (0)
from Eric Duhatschek of the Globe and Mail,
One of the more inspiring stories of the hockey world occurred in Russia, during the first round of the Kontinental Hockey League playoffs, when Yaroslav Lokomotiv upset the two-time defending league champions Moscow Dynamo in the opening round.
Yaroslav lost its entire team in that plane crash back in September of 2011, forcing them to rebuild an historic organization from the ground up. The team had two coaching changes this season, with the veteran Dave King taking over four games from the end of the season, just as the Olympic break occurred, with the hopes of getting the team to the playoffs. Yaroslav went to Garmisch Parkenkirchen, Germany to train during the break, came back, squeezed into the playoffs as the eighth (and final seed) and then took out Dynamo in seven games in the opening round, an upset of major proportion.

Phil Nicolo: The Butcher Goes to China?
Text by Kyle Bagenstose. Images by Rachel Del Sordo.
Phil Nicolo's doing what he does best. He's tinkering.
Hunched over a small desk, his eyes are excitedly scanning a computer screen. He seems to be almost trembling with anticipation. Surrounding him is a control room filled with all kinds of boards and buttons, dials and wires, faders and switches.
On screen is The Beatles' "Don't Let Me Down," laid out neatly in tracks. It's the original studio recordings, all in a row – Paul McCartney's bass, Ringo Starr's drums and studio musician Billy Preston's keyboards among them. But Phil has one particular track in mind.
"Let's listen to John Lennon and Paul McCartney sing by themselves and get goosebumps," he says.
He selects the track and hits play. A hush falls over the room for several seconds, with only a slight white static noise emanating from the speakers. And then…
"Don't let me down!" Lennon screams passionately from out of the silence.
The hush is back for several seconds. Phil closes his eyes and bobs his head to a nonexistent beat, his brow furrowed emotionally.
"Don't let me down!" he mouths, perfectly timed with a second scream from Lennon. The goosebumps come.
"Then you get Paul coming in on the harmony," Phil says.
Now two voices are screaming in unison, punctuating the eerie silence in between. Phil begins to shuffle his feet and move around. He's in the groove.
"Don't let me down!" they bellow.
"And they're just looking at each other while they're doing this, man," Phil exclaims. "Come on!"
Nobody ever loved me like she do me
Ooh she do me
Yeah, she does
Then Phil moves back to the mouse and begins clicking away. Lennon and McCartney's vocals grow quieter, like they've gone underwater. He highlights a few other tracks — the bass and drums — and hits play.
The bass line rumbles the floor. It starts and stops, almost bumbling.
"Fucking Paul McCartney's bass playing," Phil says with admiration, as his eyes close again and he plucks an invisible bass. "I mean, one of the greatest melody makers on the fucking planet, right?"
Phil would know. At 58, he's been around a lot of melody makers. As an award-winning engineer, producer and mixer who has worked with countless stars, it almost seems unreal that he's working out of a basement space, dubbed Studio 4, below a bar on Conshohocken's main strip.
Work Drugs Album Release Party @ Spice House Sound with New Myths.
Text and images by Darragh Dandurand.
If you happen to walk down the quaint and sleepy Fishtown alley that Spice House Sound is nestled into, you might, once in and while, hear faint bass lines rattling the windows and muted drum beats trying to break through the walls.
Last Friday night, the little street seemed peaceful and cold, that is unless you knew which doorway to walk through to attend the secret show Work Drugs and New Myths was playing in the wood paneled studio for a few dozen hipsters. The intimate concert was a release party for Work Drugs' Runaways album.
By around 9 pm, the sound booth started filling up with friends, fellow musicians and some usual suspects from Philadelphia's local art scene.
New Myths, a trio from New York City, opened up the show with a few appreciate remarks before diving into a heavy-hitting and stripped live sound. They played several selections from recent album, Give Me Noise, including "Howl." Brit Boras crooned lyrics behind her guitar while Marina Ross, on bass, and Rosie Slater, on drums, backed her with vocals and undeniably catchy rhythms.
Right before Work Drugs was about to start their set, each member slid on a pair of Wayfarers as a nod to their smooth and silly vibe. Outside of live shows, the band consists of guitarist Tom Crystal and pianist Ben Louisiana, but on Friday they had Jonas O on drums and Mr. Kansas City backing on bass. Jennifer Pague of the Philadelphia duo, Vita and the Woolf, also stepped in for a song or two.
Crystal and Louisiana shared turns on the mic, but more often than not, complemented each other's vocals with paired melodies. In between songs, Louisiana made a few jokes and talked about their excitement for Runaways release. Sipping on Beck's, the audience would began to sway after only a few bars of each song.
As Spice House Sound filled with music and studio owner, Alex Santilli, recorded every moment of the night, the party lasted well into the early hours of Saturday morning.
The Wonder Years Go Back To The Burbs.
Text by Beth Ann Downey. Images by Jessica Flynn.
Of the patronage in Michael's Family Restaurant tonight, it is doubtful you'd be able to find one person under the age of 50.
Taylor Swift and other comparable pop tunes play overhead at the Montgomeryville joint. The crowd, dispersed amongst seafoam green vinyl booths, enjoys the traditional diner faire, stocked salad bar and treats from the artfully organized pastry display.
It's the kind of suburban spot where older customers can eat alone without feeling out-of-place. It's a place where strangers can easily talk to each other over the wall between booths, or where the friendly waitstaff will greet you by name and listen attentively to your best new news.
This is the place about which Lansdale-based pop punk titans The Wonder Years wrote the song "Coffee Eyes," off their 2012 release Suburbia I've Given You All and Now I'm Nothing. While many of the same characteristics described in the song are apparent tonight, the diner seems different for frontman Dan Campbell, who would often hang out here with friends in their high school days. The waitress he references in the song, named Patty, now works at a diner down the street.
But as what proves true for most of us about relics of our childhood, some things about Michael's haven't changed for Campbell at all.
"Every time I eat the fries here I get really sick," says Campbell, more commonly known as Soupy to friends and fans alike, upon seeing his order. "So what's going to happen is I really want them and I'm going to eat them. But then, when I have to literally run for a while, it's because of the fries. You didn't need to know about my bowel movements but now you do."

Al Spx, writing songs under the moniker Cold Specks, has taken a stylistic and emotional one-eighty through her latest album, Neuroplasticity. The twenty-six year-old Canadian songwriter has branched out compared to her instrumentally scant first record, as a young songwriter ought to do from album to album.
"I wanted to have a kind of live show that I could play day in and day out, that takes the audience members on a journey," says Spx.
And she will take listeners on the journey of her raucous, dissonant, haunting and melodic musical world at Johnny Brenda's tomorrow night as part of her tour to celebrate the album. She shares a bill with Brooklyn-based songwriter Eddi Front.
Satellite Hearts: The Classic Rock Foundation.
Text by Morgan James. Images by Charles Shan Cerrone.
Some herald Philadelphia as the city of soul, singer-songwriter vibes, gritty punk and/or unsullied rap. But others question if that is all the city has to offer.
"I thought this city forgot what rock 'n' roll was," says Justin Pellecchia of New Hope's Satellite Hearts. "I felt Philadelphia forgot how to rock."
Pellecchia is the front man and lead guitarist of the tight-knit rock trio, which includes bassist Lucas Rinz of Lambertville, New Jersey and percussionist Keaton Thandi of Flemington, New Jersey.
Pellecchia dons wispy shoulder length hair and an arresting yet comforting disposition. In fact, there's a captivating sincerity present in all three members – whether it's Rinz's fetching stoicism or Thandi's wide-eyed enthusiasm.
It's their unassuming off-stage presence that renders their onstage performance downright disarming.
Rich Quick: The Entertainer.
Text by Christopher Malo. Image by Sean Kane.
"Never in my life will I tell someone that I'm a rapper," says Woodbury, New Jersey resident Rich Quick. "Get the fuck outta here with that. You might as well jump off a bridge because they are going to slay you."
Clearly, the occupational label strikes a nerve.
"For me personally, my job is to entertain people," he continues. "I'm an entertainer. Educate people. Give people a sense of culture, a point of view. Tell a story. My story."
On a recent Tuesday night, Quick sits at the end of the W XYZ Bar in the lobby of the boutique Aloft Hotel in Mount Laurel. While the buzz builds around him – people of all ages and backgrounds have come out for the monthly showcase held here, Quick sips a drink and keeps his focus on his phone.
He is dressed in his trademark skully, chunky Knarley Chains necklace and wedding ring. Not that he is married in the traditional sense. It is symbolic and intentionally ambiguous. Listening to his rhymes, one would know he does not have a wife.
"I'm not married. But I am married to a lot of things and one of them is hip-hop music," Quick says in attempt to clarify his marital status. "It's an unbreakable bond. And, I even hate it. But I have devoted my entire life to it. I wear this ring because it reminds me of all my sacrifices."

You can't choose who you fall in love with...All her life LaToya Morris wanted to get married, have lots of kids and take care of the household like her mother did. Raised in a Christian home in Texas she grew up in a different atmosphere, her father was a preacher and mother a high school teacher. When she moved to Charlotte, NC for college she never thought she'd fall in love with a hood guy like Montrell Johnson. He was everything her parent's warned her against growing up: long dreads, tattoos all over his body, and a rising coke boy in the streets of Charlotte. Yet Montrell opened LaToya's eyes to a different way of life, despite his lifestyle and their differences, and families trying to tear them apart they never separated. Now, five years later they got married and are expecting their first child, everything is going great until Montrell gets arrested and LaToya is alone and pregnant, nothing could prepare LaToya for the ride she is about to endure, Montrell hates he's put her in this situation because the streets have no conscience or love, and hope she's ready.

Shattered Lives: The Ethical Treatment of the Aging Prison Population
As more and more of the incarcerated become senior citizens in prison, the costs to house them rise as well, by approximately three times the expense of younger prisoners. Older prisoners are quickly becoming vulnerable and neglected, often faced with increased violence of fellow inmates, but there aren't enough services addressing this unique situation, as well as the quandary of the ethical treatment of a fellow human being vs accountability for their crime.
The other side of the dilemma is when elderly inmates are released there are often few resources available, families have dispersed, and they are faced with more uncertainty about their welfare than when they were in prison.
Shattered Lives Radio listeners will hear both sides of the issue with guest Tina Maschi and Shattered Lives host and homicide survivor, Donna R. Gore.
Religion behind Prison Walls: How Does it Work and Does it Really Matter?
in Religion
November 20, 2014 - LIVING A RICHER LIFE ~ Life Changing Talk Radio
THEME: A Candid Discussion about Religion behind Prison Walls: How does it Work and why does it Matter
Bruce Smith - Retired Car Salesman, Founder of the Christian Car Buying Ministry and a 15-year Member of a Volunteer Outreach Team.
According to the Prison Fellowship Ministries, which describes itself as a family of Christian ministries dedicated to bringing peace to a broken world through works of grace, acts of justice, and words of truth…here are the numbers:
The United States has less than 5% of the world population, but almost 25% of the world's prisoners;
Today, approximately 2.3 million inmates are behind bars;
95% of all prisoners are eventually release;
2 out of 3 will reoffend.
Prison Ministry is a larger concept, including the support of the spiritual and religious needs of prison guards and staff, whose work in an often demanding and brutal environment often creates a special need for pastoral care, similar to the care that is extended to the military, police officers and fire fighters. What is religion behind prison walls all about…how does it work…and why does it matter?

Breeden is optimistic about changing Applebee's course
Send this to a friend
- Suzanna Stagemeyer
- Staff Writer
The escalating proxy fight between investment fund Breeden Partners LP and Applebee's International Inc. promises to keep simmering until the May annual shareholders meeting.
Investment fund Breeden Partners LP is banking that slipping comparable sales and an "inactive" board at Applebee's will win it four seats on the 12-member board and oust former Applebee's CEO and current Chairman Lloyd Hill.
"(Shareholders) who believe Applebee's can do better will vote for change," said Richard Breeden, managing partner and chief investment officer for the fund. "The existing candidates have been on the board too many years. These are the architects of the past."
But Applebee's CEO Dave Goebel said in a written response that the company is changing and doesn't need an "expensive, time-consuming and distracting proxy fight."
Analysts have said Breeden's chances of winning seats are getting better.
"Ongoing sluggish sales have already forced Applebee's to consider more aggressive actions to create shareholder value and increase the odds of Breeden-nominated members joining the board," Applebee's analyst David Palmer of UBS Investment Research said in a March 1 report. The analysis followed Applebee's announcement that February comparable sales fell 4 percent from the previous year.
Breeden planned to file a preliminary proxy statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission by March 30. The statement would expound on specific changes the casual-dining chain's board needs to make, said Breeden, former chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
"Expenses are bloated," he said. "Applebee's problem is not generating cash, it's how they use it."

A national nonprofit group has awarded $1.9 million in grants to renovate and "stabilize" foreclosed or vacant homes in communities nationwide. One-third of the grant will be devoted to green building.
The grants, by NeighborWorks America, will be funneled through 38 local NeighborWorks organizations throughout the country.
Each local group will use its $50,000 grant to support its community stabilization efforts, which are primarily focused on acquiring, renovating, and selling foreclosed or vacant homes to low- and moderate-income families.
The grants will help the community-based NeighborWorks organizations launch local housing activities designed to reduce their communities' inventory of bank-owned (REO) properties, reverse the deterioration caused by foreclosures, and market their neighborhoods to potential homebuyers.
Altogether, the grantees and their local strategic partners plan to purchase about 2,800 housing units. After necessary improvements, 1,400 homes will be sold, 630 will become rental housing, 322 will be sold through lease-purchase programs, and about 451 blighted homes will be demolished.
About 8,000 prospective homeowners will be served through pre-purchase counseling programs expanded to address the challenges of buying bank-owned properties.
While stabilization strategies will vary by market, most will support the creation of new affordable-housing opportunities for renters and buyers. Most grantees are planning a variety of programs designed to bring people back to homes that are foreclosed or abandoned.
Among the projects planned:
• Neighborhood Finance Corporation (Des Moines, Iowa) intends to spur investment around the properties it rehabilitates by offering affordable home improvement loans to nearby homeowners.
• Housing Partnership of Northeast Florida (Jacksonville, Fla.) will acquire and rehabilitate a 52-unit multifamily property that will serve low-income renters, Section 8 voucher holders, and homeless families in transition. They are also planning to acquire and sell 15 single-family properties and expand their first-time-homebuyer counseling program.
• NHS of New Haven (Conn.) intends to strategically acquire properties on otherwise -table residential blocks in order to "prevent disinvestment from spreading." The group also believes in making redevelopment visible: Where possible, clusters of properties will be developed for maximum visual impact.
• NHS of Minneapolis (Minn.) plans to invest in "troubled" housing markets nestled within commercial nodes, but still ripe for additional development due to ongoing commercial and physical infrastructure investments.
Green building will play a significant role in one-third of the stabilization plans. These include producing energy-efficient properties, using green rehab design standards, creating alternate green space from vacant lots, and counseling homebuyers about energy reduction strategies.
Among these efforts:
• LaCasa Inc. (Newark, N.J.) plans to develop 27 energy-efficient properties for resale.
• Hudson River Housing (Poughkeepsie, N.Y.) will use green techniques for rehabilitating older buildings.
• Neighborhood Development Services (Ravenna, Ohio) plans to use green specifications to rehab and resell 30 homes in Northeastern Ohio.
Most NeighborWorks grantees will leverage their grant toward projects supported by the federal Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) administered by HUD. To learn more, visit www.StableCommunities.org, or contact Erin Angell Collins at 202-220-6317.

Listen to Alan Michael Parker reading this poem On my side I am a bicycle propped in bed,
gangly in the morning.
Down the hall, a neighbor's door whines and slams—
in the air clapped, a siren churns,
troubles the December gloom.
The souls of things
winter in little rooms:
inside the spoon, a flute's undone;
inside the lamp, the filament
waits to flower, sing.
A bee dozes in the current,
an idea in a piece of string—
all thing, I lean away
from the hour, back to where I've been,
one wheel spun.

I respect your faith for whatever it is.<quoted text> What part of most of us dont need your dogma to have that do YOU not understand?
<quoted text>
ROFLMAO! Horseshit. Your book might say that, but your book is just another book, its nothing special to most of us.
It never ceases to amaze me how your kind will try to beat others over the head with your dogma, then just babble on when you're called on your bullshit.
Maybe when you start taking others faiths seriously, someone MIGHT take what you have to say the same way.
Why did Jesus come to earth and do what He did?
Was it to help teach others a better way of life?
was it to warn others about Hell, and to let them know they didn't have to go there?
Many say Hell is not real, and when you die you die.
I just don't understand why they even preach?
What's the point?
If they want a religious social club and nothing more, why not just take religion out of their club?
