Hello, all! We live in an older home with lots of mature, very under-maintained, oddly-placed landscaping. Help is needed!
Has anyone successfully transplanted a large, mature quince bush? How about a mature pussy willow (10+ feet tall)? On another note, any suggestions for a medium-sized shrub/bush/tree that would be appropriate when placed against the house in front bed landscaping? Thanks so much! Enjoy this cooler weather! |
Follow-Up Postings:
IMO, the effort needed to move these larger shrubs would exceed their value to the landscape in all but special circumstances. It's much easier to plant new specimens! Neither of these would be too finicky to move, but both would be a PITB without special equipment, because of their size. |

I agree with brandon. Unless those shrubs had sentimental value, like your grandmother planted them 50 yrs ago, it's probably better to buy new ones. But if you are set on moving them I would cut them way back, in the fall or early winter, when they are going dormant. Then move them with as much root ball as you can. Place on a big tarp to move to an already-dug, very big hole, transplant and mulch. If they do not come back in the spring then you can get new ones. Good luck. |

However, major oil and food companies oppose the RFS out of concern for their own economic well-being, not concern for the environment, and some prominent environmental groups support the standard.

Calvin Klein Embraces Lyndsey Scott, Monika Jagaciak
>> A few seasons ago, Jourdan Dunn made headlines as the first model of color to walk Prada in ten years; Prada is carefully casted and a coup like that can make a model's career. The same goes for Calvin Klein, except that since CK is so early on in the season, it sets the tone for the rest of the three Fashion Weeks. This afternoon, Lyndsey Scott became one of the few models of color to land in the Calvin Klein lineup — Jourdan Dunn has done the honors in recent seasons. Monika "Jac" Jagaciak bounced back from her fall at Herve Leger to both open and close; Addison Gill, Bojana Reljic, and Louis Maselis round out the chosen ones as exclusives — expect to see much more from all.
Notably, former house face Toni Garrn and current face Anna Selezneva were missing in action, but enough about models — let's not forget Francisco Costa's turn to the darker side — burned out lace patterning and pops of chartreuse keep the collection right where we want it: coveted.

Patriot National Bancorp Earns $909,000 In First Nine Months Of 2012; Restructuring Initiatives Lead To Greater Operating Efficiencies
Total assets were $615.3 million at September 30, 2012, compared to $628.4 million at September 30, 2011. Total deposits were $484.0 million at September 30, 2012, compared to $507.7 million at September 30 of the prior year, as the Bank continues to focus on core transaction accounts while reducing the balance sheet by letting higher cost deposits run off. Non-interest bearing deposits increased 4.6% to $59.3 million at September 30, 2012, compared to $56.7 million a year earlier while interest bearing deposits declined 5.8% to $424.6 million at September 30, 2012, compared to $451.0 million a year earlier. Total deposits per branch averaged $34.3 million at September 30, 2012.
Income Statement Review
Patriot's third quarter net interest income was $4.2 million, compared to $4.9 million in the third quarter a year ago. Interest income decreased 13.4% compared to the third quarter a year ago as a result of the lower interest rate environment's impact on loans that re-priced, loan payoffs, and the overall loan mix. Interest expense decreased 10.7% compared to the third quarter a year ago due to the reduction in interest bearing deposits and the increase in non-interest bearing deposits. In the first nine months of 2012, net interest income was $19.5 million compared to $21.4 million in the first nine months of 2011. The decline compared to the first nine months of the prior year was due to the overall lower rate environment and the change in the balance sheet mix.
The lower interest rate environment held Patriot's net interest margin flat during the third quarter. The net interest margin in the third quarter of 2012 was 2.86%, compared to 2.81% in the second quarter of 2012 and 3.40% in the third quarter a year ago. In the first nine months of the year the net interest margin was 2.98% compared to 3.12% in the first nine months of 2011.

McDonald's CEO Don Thompson saw his pay fall significantly in 2013. (Tribune file photo / April 11, 2014) |
McDonald's Corp. President and Chief Executive Don Thompson's total compensation in 2013 fell by more than $4 million, to nearly $9.5 million, in a challenging year for the Oak Brook-based burger giant.
Thompson had a base salary of $1.225 million and received perks, such as a corporate airplane use, security and life insurance, profit sharing and deferred bonuses valued at $434,425.
He received stock awards worth more than $4.6 million and option awards valued at more than $1.7 million. Non-equity incentive compensation was $1.4 million.
Other executives saw their pay fall as McDonald's continued to deal with lingering downward pressure on sales.
Overall revenue worldwide was up about 2 percent for the year, but same-store business in the United States slipped 1.4 percent in the fourth quarter, despite the introduction of new offerings such as
the Dollar Menu & More.
Peter Bensen, chief financial officer, saw his total compensation fall to $3.59 million from $7.33 million in 2012.
Compensation for Chief Operating Officer Tim Fenton fell to $4.01 million from $5.89 million. In March, the 56-year-old Fenton announced his plan to retire from McDonald's later this year. Instead of naming a new COO, McDonald's plans to split Fenton's responsibilities between two senior executives.
McDonald's also said that it plans to hold its annual shareholder meeting in Oak Brook on May 22.
The company suggested that shareholders vote against a shareholder proposal asking the company to take the necessary steps to allow shareholders to act by written consent, saying it is not necessary or in shareholders' best interests.
Shares of McDonald's slipped 14 cents to $99.29 in trading on Friday. The shares have risen about 2.3 percent so far this year.

2004 Toyota Echo Hatchback (Canadian model)
weelz Posts: 20
odman Posts: 309The Scion Xa was chosen for the USA over the Echo HB, but early figures show that the Xa isn't doing as well as expected, and that the more distinctive Xb is accounting for the bulk of Scion's sales.
I think the US marketing folks are going to watch very closely how the Echo HB does here and who buys it and what they are conquesting. Part of their decision whether to bring the hatch depends on what happens to the Echo sedan. If sales are lost to the Xa/Xb, don't expect to see the HB there. If Echo retains its different buyer base, there might be an opportunity to expand sales with the HB. -
odman Posts: 309
revka Posts: 1,750Just curious, aside from Weelz, are there any other 2004 Echo Hatchback owners out there? We'd love to hear from!
Also, if you know anyone that's interested in discussing this subject, please send them to this discussion. Here's a direct link to this discussion that you can copy/paste:

odman Posts: 309I think the 5-doors actually look better than the 3-doors. They just seem better balanced, the same way I thought the original 4-door Neons looked better than the 2-doors.
Anyone in the Toronto area should go check out the Tuner show at Yorkdale Mall this weekend. A dealer is displaying red RS 5-door with a wild graphics package. The rest looks bone-stock, but it was cool to see. -
phampton2 Posts: 1Here is the Dutch version of the echo (called Yaris). This is the turbo model. I think it looks cool.

carlisimo Posts: 1,280In some colleges, she'll be driving carless people around pretty often, so backseat safety would be something to think about. If it's a long drive through a windy area, the Echo will get buffetted pretty bad.
I'd still go for the Echo though. Take a large computer monitor box to the dealership. See which car it fits in more easily. That would be ultimate college car test. I suspect the Echo will be better for cargo. -
odman Posts: 309Here's another positive review of the Echo hatch. It points out that it drives well on the highway, and that with a very low weight, it's torque is more than sufficient for getting around better than the old gutless Tercels of yore.

kklose Posts: 3I know I paid too much, but one of our local dealers managed to import one from Canada, and after driving it, had to have it!! It is a silver auto RS. Very attractive, comfortable, very good driver, quite quick. I bought it for my son, but he's going to have to pry it out of my hands! I absolutely love it, it is just about the best handling car I've owned in my 35 years of driving.
odman Posts: 309You must sure turn a lot of heads with it. Where in the US are you? We are starting to see lots on the streets here and they really are distinctive. Moreso than the Scion Xa, which we don't get.
Did the dealer import just one or a bunch? Any issues with conversion to US standards or warranty coverage? -
fuelmiser Posts: 26I have been very happy with my 1987 Sprint hatchback (actually made by Suzuki) that I have owned since new. It now has 200,000 miles on it and needs to be replaced - not due to mechanical problems but rather due to rusting. It gets up to 60 miles per US gallon, and it has been a very economical car all around. I am shopping for a new car and have settled on an Echo. But the sedan/coupe style is the only one offered here in the US. I would much prefer the hatchback, so I am interested in getting a car in Canada, new, and importing it. Can anyone give me a list of dealers in the Niagara, Ontario, area and a checklist of things I will need to do to import it? And the expense of doing this? Are there any US dealers around Buffalo, NY who do this kind of thing?

"This dish is very similar to the "chicken, rice, and spices" recipe I have on recipezaar but the changes made/added to it make it an authentic dish that is served in the United Arab Emirates. My husband who is from there and also many other locals from there eat this with ketchup. I thought that seemed weird at first but but then again I love the Japanese fried rice with ketchup and egg called omu-rice that is comfort food for Japanese children so I tried it and it is really good!! the dried limes called "loomi" in this recipe can be found at most middle eastern stores. It is important in this recipe. This is usually cooked all in a large pot on a stovetop but basmati rice is not easy to cook just perfect like that. In the oven it is almost impossible to fail at this recipe :D --if you want to increase/decrease this dish the broth is always double the amount of rice you use. If increasing, let it bake in the oven just a tad bit longer."
Serving Size: 1 (427 g)
Servings Per Recipe: 3
"4 3/4 stars. This was pretty delicious for DH, DD (toddler) and I. I think the people who leave out the loomi should not star it unless they get 5 stars as I like the flavour given by the loomi. I used homemade chicken stock instead of chicken bullion cubes, extra virgin olive oil, I peeled my tomato before chopping it, added an extra clove garlic, used a sweet curry powder, Recipe #104344 as we dont like hot spicy, therefore I did not add the optional cayenne pepper or chili powder. I used as much sea salt as I needed as I do in all recipes I don't go by salt amounts. I cooked this for DH, DD (toddler) and I with half a chicken cut in pieces and 1 1/4 cups white Basmati rice and half the amount of spices. I served this with Recipe #133169 for a wonderful meal. Made for Think Pink Tag."
"Terrific! Made exactly as directed (including dried limes)and thought is was delicious. Didn't try the ketchup, but I did add a few raisins to the rice at the table. I liked the raisins, my husband didn't. A keeper for sure."
"The saudis have an extremely similar dish to this which they call 'kabsah'. My mom has been making it for years and now I have taken over. My familiy loves it! however we dont eat it with ketchup, we eat it with the traditional accompaniments of Tomato Salsa, Yoghurt, and Salad. Delicious :)"
"Ok.....not having the dried limes, I sliced up 2 regular limes & threw them into the chicken broth. NO idea if the flavors are similar. Everyody LOVED the chicken but the kids didn't like the rice. :? I was shocked. Very easy & very delicious!! Mine wasn't too salty - I used Maggi chicken bouillon cubes. The proportions were all perfect & everything cooked perfectly. I think I'll triple this during the summer for guests. :) Made for NA*ME Recipe of the Week."
"It was good.I liked it.. but I would recommend adding less salt as it was too salty."
"This was a really good recipe. I couldn't find loomi at at my local middle eastern market (it's available on the internet), so I substitued the juice of a lime with its zest. Next time I would really like to try it with the loomi. Also, I found it a tad salty with the boullon, so next time I'll probably make it with low sodium chicken broth. Tried it with the ketchup, but preferred it plain:) Paired it with moroccan carrot salad. Thanks for the recipe. I'll definitely make it again."
"Incredible! All you Middle Eastern food lovers out there have got to try this! This was just so easy and delicious (great instructions!); I halved this for the two of us and used 1 1/2 skinless boneless chicken breasts and the optional chilli powder - it does not make the dish hot at all so don't be scared to use it! Everything cooked perfectly in 45 mins and yes we did try in with tomato sauce; my hubby loved it but I prefered yoghurt. Only thing I changed was adding a few tablespoons of lime juice to the stock rather than a dried lime; if anyone knows where you can get such a thing in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne I'd love to know because I'll certainly be making this again - thank you so much for posting!

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Maggie!
Facts about Maggie
- Breed: Shih Tzu
- Color: Black - With White
- Age: Adult
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Female
- ID#: Birmingham/M
Maggie's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, purebred, up to date with shots, not good with kids, and good with dogs.
The first step in our adoption process is an application, which you can submit online at www.littlebitsrescue.org It does not obligate you in any way, but we do not arrange meetings or make telephone contact until we have one. Maggie was rescued from a shelter after she was abandoned by her former owners. She is 4 years old and weighs 11 pounds. However, she is extremely thin and will need to gain a couple of pounds. Maggie has been spayed, brought up to date on her vaccinations, tested negative for heartworms and started on preventative. Maggie appears to be very well housetrained, although all dogs will have accidents in new environments. She will not be placed in a home with children under the age of 10 or with a dog weighing more than 25 pounds. Maggie's adoption donation is $150, and she is being fostered in Birmingham, Alabama. We do approve out of state adoptions, but you must be willing to drive to the foster home to "fetch" your new family member. We do not ship or transport our dogs. If you are interested in adopting this sweet baby, the first step is to submit an APPLICATION.
We do not place any dog in a home with "invisible" or underground fencing.
Other Pets at Little Bits Rescue & Adoption
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Maggie, a Mooy Shih Tzu dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Shih Tzu for sale in Mooy, or seeking a Shih Tzu dog from a breeder in Mooy.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Mooy already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Mooy breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Shih Tzu breeders who help with Shih Tzu rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Mooy paves the way for another one to be saved.

- Reserve 1 tablespoon of the mushrooms for garnish. Add the cooked beans to the mushrooms in the pan and cook, stirring to combine, until heated through, 1 to 3 minutes. Season with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper. Serve topped with the reserved mushrooms.
- Substitution note: If you cant find wild mushrooms, use button or cremini mushrooms.

Stuck in the shadow of Pixar, the bods at Ice Age animation-house Blue Sky must feel a tad underappreciated. And stepping from the organic, textured and tough animated world of their prehistoric winner to the metallic gleam of a robo-driven globe seems, on the face of it, an odd way to garner praise. Surely it's a backward step, right? Wrong. For Chris Wedge and co have come up with an engrossing, immersive environment that's even more convincing and fun than its frosty forerunner. Robots is a hugely entertaining pixel-pusher that more than makes use of the techno-possibilities offered by its Metropolis-gone-Technicolor concept.
The `young 'un against the odds' story is pretty basic, but the balance of kid-pleasing slapschtick and adult-amusing wit is spot on. For the ankle-biters there's Robin Williams's Fender, a whacked-out "rustie" rapidly falling to pieces but driven by a kind heart (well, hard drive). It's Williams's most impressive family-orientated character since the Genie in Aladdin and while the motor-jawed star is given freedom to roam, Fender's warmth is never lost under a flurry of improviso-com.
And when the movie does run wild for a series of spectacular set-pieces, expect retina-zapping animation for the adults, as the Robots brains try to out-Scrat themselves. From the initial "train" marble ride through Robot City (that's been relentlessly splashed across trailers and promo clips) to Rodney's misadventures with magnetism, the stunts brim with invention, evoking the best of classic Warner Bros animations.
But even when it's at rest, the sheer level of thought and detail that crops up in every corner of Robots can't help but impress. Every minute is gag-packed and the running time dashes past leaving you wanting more.
Not everything is perfect - McGregor and Berry are stuck with rather bland leads - but when you have such a stellar supporting cast (particularly a tiny, inspired turn from Sideways star Paul Giamatti), this barely matters. Polished, oiled and in top working order, Robots presses all the right buttons.
Robots gets it right: smartly appealing to both the kids and their folks. The first decent family film of the year has been assembled.

The Nose with Mark Melvin and Chris McNamara
Last week, on March 3rd, Touchstone owner Mark Melvin and long time Yosemite wall veteran Chris McNamara saw a chance to climb the Nose on El Capitan. With a forecast of 70 degree temps, the pair nabbed a "winter" ascent of one of the largest granite formations in America. Chris wrote about their ascent.
I'll share a secret just with you guys: you can find summer-like conditions on El Cap even in the middle of winter… as long as you are in the sun.

(PRWEB) December 26, 2012
The personal injury attorneys at d'Oliveira & Associates recently recovered a $150,000 settlement for one of their Newport clients(RI District Court-2nd Division Case: MI-11889). The client was injured when a transportation driver operating a car allegedly negligently hit the client who was crossing a driveway. The collision caused her to sustain a broken hip and ankle. Also, she continually complained of significant pain and endured several months of physical therapy after the surgery.
The client contacted the law offices of d'Oliveira & Associates, specifically Attorney Robin Gouveia, who brought a claim on her behalf and was able to get her a settlement at mediation of $150,000. "The client was on Supplemental Security Disability (SSI), which has an income and asset limit she could not exceed. If she received the full settlement, she would lose her monthly and Medicare benefits. We structured her settlement into monthly payments and kept the monthly income within the SSI limit, allowing her to maintain her Social Security benefit and Medicare."
Attorney Paul d'Oliveira stated that "Because the woman was on SSI this settlement was in her best interest and allowed her to get the most money she could without losing her SSI monthly income. Getting her a larger settlement would not have been in her best interest. I'm glad Attorney Gouveia has such extensive experience in not only auto accident cases but also in social security law as this woman needed good legal advice in both of these areas of the law."
While this accident did not occur at a cross-walk or intersection like a majority of auto accidents involving pedestrians, it shows that the risk of serious injury for pedestrians is just as high in parking lots and driveways

> however, there is a thumping DC impulse every few seconds which
Very suspect. Should be interesting to record the waveform and
have a look at it (zita-scope would be handy, but not yet ready
for the real world).
> a white noise steady-state spectrum shows a slight raise of 2.5dB
Again suspect, but see above. Could you try with a lower noise
level ?
General remark about the Jaaa screenshots: to measure noise you
should really use the noise, not peak, markers.
A world of exhaustive, reliable metadata would be an utopia.
It's also a pipe-dream, founded on self-delusion, nerd hubris
and hysterically inflated market opportunities. (Cory Doctorow)

If you are a privateering fan or an Assassin's Creed fan, then this will be news that just might make your day. Ubisoft recently released a new update for their pirate themed mobile game Assassin's Creed Pirates. Though calling it just an update will be undermining its value, it is more like a mini DLC for the mobile users and it is available to all owners of the game for free.
The new update adds a boat load of content (pun unintended) to the base game. In fact this update gives gamers an additional five hours of gameplay content, quite a huge addition given that the game is on the mobile platforms. The new contents include:
- New map area
- 3 new secondary missions
- New treasures
- New diaries
- New mission type; Survival Missions
- 2 new ships for Survival Missions
- Face-off against historical ships
The new survival missions have the players survive at sea, by fishing and hunting for whales for food. The new mission and the secondary mission alone gives a DLC like feel to the update and the fact that they released it as an update is just icing on top.
Assassin's Creed Pirates was released in December last year as a companion game for Assassin's Creed IV for the iOS and Android. Like its name, it allows players to experience the life of a pirate, while on the go. But unlike the main game where you have to relive the memories of your ancestors, here you are tasked with making a reputation as a pirate. You get to control your ships in first person, using touch controls like swiping to avoid obstacles. There are also mini games that need to be played when you get cargos and crews to win supplies and eventually upgrade your ships. Oh and you can even fish!

She needs our help to raise money so that she can move out.I know that Im going to have to make a journal asking for help like this, because im not old enough to move out yet, but I have a similar situation, and I can only hope that some one will help me when that time comes, but the time has come for her, Sobee needs us.

Omen of the Stars VENTAnimation is really getting to me, and im getting upset, so I'm going to vent a bit about the Omen of the Stars Warriors arc, and these will be some things I haven't really seen brought up much, here goes.First, I haven't offocially read The Last Hope yet, but I know that *SPOILERS* Brambleclaw makes Squirrelflight deputy.Now, I have nothing against Squirrelflight, I think she is very loyal, but I havn't seen anything to make her an outstanding warrior or display exceptional leadership skills. To my understanding, Brambleclaw's choice in making her deputy was puerly to show that he trusted her again and that they were going to be mates again.No.He could have simply said that to her instead of making his first bad choice as a leader. Dustpelt would have made an outstanding deputy. Or hey, maybe Thornclaw? OR maybe he could have given the deputy position back to the cat he stole it from, Graystripe. OR! IDEA! MAYBE LIONBLAZE!!! Lionblaze would have made a kick ass leader, don't you ev

Copyright AbuseOk, the cold hard truth here, If you put something on the internet out to the public, expect it to the inspire others. It just shows they enjoy your work and want to learn from it, that's what being a Idol is about. "In a recent decision of the Full Federal Court, the Court reaffirmed the fundamental legal principle that copyright does not protect ideas and concepts but only the particular form in which they are expressed.[2] The effect of this principle is that you cannot copyright a style or technique. Copyright only protects you from someone else reproducing one of your actual artworks not from someone else coming up with their own work in the same style." You can become known for doing something a certain way but you can't own it, you can only own the work as a whole. The same go's for characters, if its just similar not the same copyrights don't apply, even more so if its a generic design to began with. So people stop bother the DA staff with this nonsen

Unfortunate times for the United StatesI don't want to alarm anyone, but that's exactly what I am going to do, right now. And I'm sorry, but it's important, and people in the US should be prepared, especially in southern california (where I live).So current eco events are predicting the toxic radiated sludge that came from Japan during the tsunami (rest their souls) will be hitting the shores of western united states, within either this week or the next few. Many of you may already be aware of this, some may not, and in truth there is almost nothing that can be done, but it is fair to inform people who live in this area, and the US in general. I'm pretty scared, since I live in the area that will be hit first, and also scared for my family and friends. There's no reason to get paranoid, only to live each day as happy as you can, and remember that worst things could happen. I know it may induce panic to post this but I just feel it's important to tell people to be prepared. We're not going to die, but things could get messy
Animal Planet (rant?) (update)Wild west Alaska, why is it on Animal planet ._. I don't have that big of a problem with hunting, but isn't animal planet a channel for the love and care of animals? Not guns and shooting them.When I first seen it come on, I had to double check my TV guide to make sure I wasn't on some hunting network. seems to me, animal planet is getting a little too human New info about the new animal planet. After a 9% drop in prime time viewing in 2007, Animal Planet underwent a makeover to increase viewership. Marjorie Kaplan, president and general manage of Animal Planet Media said,"We feel a little too human, a little too soft, a little too all-family and not powerful enough. We're being more aggressive and tapping into the instinctual nature of compelling animal content.The channel wanted to replace its paternalistic and preachy image with a more entertaining and edgier one beginning February 3, 2008 and debuted eight new series and specials.

Group to hold anti-Obama protest
Published: Friday, October 18, 2013 at 3:21 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, October 18, 2013 at 3:27 p.m.
The Facebook group Overpasses for Impeaching Obama will have a protest from 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday on the footbridge across Meighan Boulevard near Emma Sansom Middle School.
The group places banners on bridges to protest Barack Obama's presidency and asks passersby to honk if they want to see the president impeached.
Boaz residents Jason and Shamika White applied Oct. 11 for a permit for the protest. Their application said about 10 people would be participating.
The permit originally was denied because the group wanted to stage the protest on Meighan Bridge as it passes over Albert Rains Boulevard. Gadsden Police Capt. Paul Cody said the city didn't have the authority to give the group a parade permit because U.S. Highway 431 is state property, and any permit requests must go through the Alabama Department of Transportation. The group didn't have a permit from the state, so its application was denied.
City Attorney Lee Roberts expressed concerns about the original site because the banner could present a safety hazard. It could fall onto traffic below or the person hanging it could be hurt.
"You have safety concerns because you're going to be impeding traffic by putting a banner over the side of a bridge, which we do not allow anyone to do," Roberts said. "The space there is so tight there (as well)."
Roberts said because the city encourages people to express their political opinions, the group would have been allowed to protest on public sidewalks so long as it didn't impede traffic or hang banners. Cody said a compromise was reached to use the footbridge as opposed to the original site.

(NEW YORK) -- Israel is trying to say it completely disagrees with a plan that temporarily freezes Iran's nuclear program without actually coming out and saying it. Interviewed by ABC News, Ambassador Ido Aharoni, Israel's Consul General in New York, stressed that his country cannot comment on internal political matters such as the six-month agreement Iran struck up Sunday with six world powers including the U.S.
However, Aharoni did tell ABC News, "Very few people are mentioning the fact that even before becoming nuclear, Iran is the number one instigator of violence in the world."
The ambassador asserted that the economic sanctions imposed by the international community have hurt Iran but even by easing them slightly, it enables the government to become more powerful, which poses a threat to the region.
The agreement with Iran also allows its scientists to keep enriching uranium, a key step in developing nuclear weapons, albeit, at a lower level.
Aharoni mused, "The question at hand is whether Iran, given the problems it presented to the entire international community, should be given the chance to produce uranium at all."

Chris Brown's Beef With Hollywood
Country crooner Miranda Lambert wasn't too thrilled with Brown's cocky attitude after he won Best R&B Album at the 2012 Grammys, where he told naysayers to "f*** off" after walking away with the award.Soon after Brown's tweet, the wife of Blake Shelton shot back with some heated words of her own, writing on Twitter, "Not cool that we act like that didn't happen. He needs to listen to Gunpowder and lead and be put back in his place. Not at the Grammys."Though Team Breezy fired back at the songstress, Lambert continued to speak her mind -- holding a "Take Note Chris Brown" at a concert following the Twitter war."I've been in a world of hurt with Chris Brown fans lately," she told fans. "But see, I just have to speak my mind because where I come from beating up on a woman is never okay."

(KMOV) – Crews that treated St. Louis City and the Metro East roads may not have been out at the earliest time to treat the roads, but when they did…they were effective in making for a smooth commute.
City road crews did not start applying rock salt to the streets until the temperatures started to fall. It cost the city around $50,000 for the treatment, but it was a gamble that paid off.
Illinois Department of Transportation officials admit that the problems in Missouri gave their crews a heads up on how to treat their roads. IDOT also recognized the dropping temperatures at 5:15 a.m. and chose to act at that moment.
No highways in the Metro East were forced to close this morning.

Getting there & away
As Malaysia's principal international gateway and the crossroads for domestic bus, train and taxi travel there's no shortage of ways in and out of KL.
Local transport
Long-distance taxis – often no faster than taking a bus – depart from upstairs at Puduraya bus station. Early in the morning the chances are reasonable of finding other passengers waiting to share on the main west-coast runs to Johor Bahru, Melaka, Ipoh and Penang. Otherwise you will usually have to wait to get a full complement of four passengers or you could charter a whole taxi.
Prices should include toll charges, but some taxi drivers, especially those on the Johor Bahru run, insist on charging extra. For fares see below.
** As of April 14th 2011, Puduraya is closed until further notice. ** Buses fan out from Puduraya, KL's main bus station just east of Chinatown, to all over Peninsular Malaysia as well as to Singapore and Thailand. The only long-distance destinations that Puduraya doesn't handle are Kuala Lipis and Jerantut (for access to Taman Negara) – buses to these places leave from Pekeliling bus station; and Kota Bharu and Kuala Terengganu, buses for which leave from Putra bus station.
If you're travelling to Singapore and want to avoid Puduraya (and who wouldn't?) there are alternatives. Aeroline (6258 8800; www.aeroline.com.my) runs five services daily (RM80, five hours) from outside the Corus Hotel, Jln Ampang, just east of KLCC. Its double-decker coaches are modernand comfortable. Also offering a moreupmarket service is Plusliner (2272 1586; www.plusliner.com); its NiCE coaches run from outside the old KL Train Station on Jln Sultan Hishamuddin. Its Singapore-bound coaches (RM79.10) leave at least 13 times daily. It also offers a service from here to Penang (Plusliner coach RM26.80, NiCE coach RM57.10).
KL is the best place to hire a car for touring the peninsula; for sample rates see p506. However, navigating the city's complex (and mostly one-way) traffic system is not for the timid.
All the major companies have offices at the airport. City offices, which are generally open 9am to 6pm Monday to Friday and 9am to 1pm Saturday, include the following companies:
Avis (2144 4487; www.avis.com.my; Angkasa Raya, Jln Ampang)
Hertz (2148 6433; www.hertz.com.my; Ground fl, Kompleks Antarabangsa, Jln Sultan Ismail)
Mayflower (6253 1888; www.mayflower.com.my/html/car.htm; 18 Jln Segambut Pusat)
Orix (2142 3009; www.orixcarrentals.com.my; Ground fl, Federal Hotel, 35 Jln Bukit Bintang)
Kuala Lumpur is the hub of the KTM (2267 1200; www.ktmb.com.my) national railway system. Long-distance trains depart from KL Sentral in the Brickfields area. The KTM information office (10am-7pm) in the main hall can advise on schedules and check seat availability. A ticket delivery service (2267 1200; 8.30am-4.30pm Mon-Sat) can get your ticket to you for RM4.
There are daily departures for Butterworth, Wakaf Baharu (for Kota Baharu and Jerantut), Johor Bahru, Thailand and Singapore; fares are cheap, especially if you opt for a seat rather than a berth (for which there are extra charges), but journey times are slow. KTM Komuter trains also link KL with the Klang Valley and Seremban and in 2008 with Ipoh and Tanjung Malim.
KL has several bus stations. Chinatown's Puduraya Bus Station handles most long-distance buses to Peninsular Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand. However, buses to Kota Bahru, Kuala Terengganu and the jetty for the Perhentian Islands leave from the Putra Bus Station on Jln Tun Ismail, and buses to Kuala Lipis, Jerantut and Temerloh leave from the Pekeliling Bus Station at Titiwangsa.
If you're travelling to Singapore and want to avoid the stress of dealing with Puduraya, Aeroline (6258 8800; www.aeroline.com.my) runs six services daily (adult/child from RM80/50, five hours) from outside the Corus Hotel on Jln Ampang, just east of KLCC, using comfortable, air-conditioned double-decker coaches. Plusliner/NICE (2272 1586; www.plusliner.com) runs a similar upmarket service from outside the Old KL Train Station on Jln Sultan Hishamuddin. There are around eight daily buses to Singapore (adult/child RM80/60) and six daily buses to Penang (five hours) – NICE coaches cost RM27/13.50, Plusliner coaches cost RM58/43.
KL is probably the best place to hire a car for touring Peninsular Malaysia, though driving out of KL is complicated by a confusing one-way system and contradictory road signs that can throw off your sense of direction completely. All the major companies have offices at the airport. City offices – generally open from 9am to 6pm weekdays and 9am to 1pm Saturday – include the following:
Avis (2144 4487; www.avis.com.my; Ground fl, Angkasa Raya Bldg)
Hertz (2148 6433; www.hertz.com.my; Ground fl, Kompleks Antarabangsa, Jln Sultan Ismail)
Mayflower (2144 1188; www.mayflowercarrental.com.my; 42 Jln Sultan Ismail)
Orix (2142 3009; www.orixcarrentals.com.my; Mezzanine Level, Federal Hotel, Jln Bukit Bintang)
KL Sentral station is the national hub of the KTM (Keretapi Tanah Melayu Berhad; 2267 1200; www.ktmb.com.my; info office 10am-7pm, ticket office 7am-10pm) railway system, which extends through Malaysia into Thailand and Singapore. You can buy tickets in advance at the station or get the handy ticket delivery service (2267 1200; 8.30am-5pm Mon-Sat) to speed the ticket to your hotel room for RM4. Services run daily to Singapore, Butterworth (for Georgetown, Penang) and Hat Yai (connecting with trains to Bangkok and other parts of Thailand).
The same company runs the KTM Komuter train service around KL.
Several private companies run ferries to Tanjung Balai and Dumai on Sumatra in Indonesia from Pelabuhan Klang (Port Klang), accessible by KTM Komuter train from KL Sentral or by public bus (RM3.50) from the small Klang bus stand by Pasar Seni LRT station in Chinatown. Ferries run to Tanjung Balai (RM100, 3½ hours) at 11am Monday to Saturday. Ferries to Dumai (RM100, 3½ hours) leave between 9am and 10am daily. Note that you need an Indonesian visa in advance for the crossing to Tanjung Balai.
KL's main airport is Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA; 8777 8888; www.klia.com.my), 75km south of the city centre at Sepang. At the international arrivals hall there's a useful Tourism Malaysia office (8776 5651; 9am-midnight), a Celcom stand (7am-11pm) selling prepaid SIM cards for your mobile phone, and counters for all the main car-rental firms. Note that airline regulations are strictly enforced – only one carry-on bag is permitted and liquids can only be carried on board in bottles of less than 100mL, which must be presented for screening in a clear plastic bag.
All of Air Asia's flights are handled by the nearby Low Cost Carrier-Terminal (LCC-T; 8777 8888; lcct.airasia.com). Air Asia tickets are best purchased online at www.airasia.com. You can get information and book (using online terminals) at their small office (1300-889 933; 9am-9pm) in KL Sentral station.
Berjaya Air's flights arrive at Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport (7845 8382) at Subang, around 20km west of the city centre.

Visiting the dentist is a little easier when the dentist comes to you.
Groups of students at Washington Elementary School spent Thursday morning getting their teeth cleaned and their oral health evaluated by dentist and hygienist volunteers from Billings and Bozeman.
"In general, this is actually the ideal environment to see kids," said Bozeman dentist Jane Gillette. "They're with their peers, they're with their teachers."
Gillette travels the state through the Montana Dental Association's Sealants for Smiles program, funded by the Caring Foundation. It connects her with local dentists to visit schools and treat children free of charge. So far, they've worked on the mouths of 8,000 students, she said.
On Friday morning, they'll be at Bench Elementary.
Working with Gillette on Thursday morning was local dentist Chuck Blackburn, who also donates his services to the Ronald McDonald Care Mobile, part of the Ronald McDonald House Charities.
He's been to schools before to work on children and loves the experience.
"It's fun to do," he said.
The students, sitting in a line in an empty classroom all looked excited to be waiting to see Blackburn or Gillette. They chatted and laughed and a couple times, came over to watch as the dentists worked on their friends.
The school puts the students in a safe, familiar environment and they are often excited to get attention from the dentists, Gillette said.
She sees all kinds of mouths and all kinds of problems. Rarely she comes across an issue that needs immediate attention. Most of their work is cleaning teeth, putting sealants on permanent teeth and diagnosing problems, she said.
"For the most part, we see kids with pretty darn healthy teeth," she said.
They work with parents as well, encouraging and oftentimes helping them get their kids enrolled in Medicaid and CHIP, the federal children's health insurance program.
"It's the single most rewarding thing I've done professionally in my whole life," Gillette said.

The James Madison Memorial Fellowship Foundation was established by Congress in 1986 to improve teaching about the United States Constitution in secondary schools. The foundation is an independent agency of the executive branch of the federal government and receives its funding from U.S. Congress and contributions from individuals, foundations and corporations.
Named in honor of the fourth U.S. president and acknowledged "father of the Constitution and Bill of Rights," a James Madison Fellowship funds a large portion of each fellow's course of study towards a master's degree. That program must include a concentration of courses on the history and principles of the Constitution.
The 57 James Madison Fellows chosen in 2011 were selected from applicants representing each of the 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and U.S. islands and trust territories. Recipients are required to teach American history or social studies in a secondary school for at least one year for each year of fellowship support.
Since 2007, the McCormick Foundation has funded a James Madison fellow from the state of Illinois. In addition to the James Madison Summer Institute at Georgetown University, the McCormick-sponsored fellow also completes a summer internship with the Civics Program.
The first award was given to Pat Usher, a social studies teacher at Carl Sandburg High School in Orland Park. Of the experience, Pat says, his "...James Madison Memorial Foundation Fellowship was one of reflection, understanding, and empowerment. In large part, (high school history and government teachers) feel forced to conquer coverage of the curriculum rather than explore the depth of the content," he said. "The Fellowship experience empowered me to think beyond those pitfalls of education and rediscover the promise of experiment in the classroom."
