Christmas wrapping packed away? Check. 2014 all but in the books? Check. Resolutions for 2015 made? Maybe. Check. Making plans for New Year's Eve? Check. Check.
New Year's Eve revelers have choices of how they want to ring in 2015 while celebrating a successful – or at least completed – 2014. There's no time yet for making resolutions when two of the year's biggest parties are about to blast Knoxville with noisemakers and fireworks.
John Minervini quickly turns giddy whenever he's talking about the food scene in Memphis.
He's such a fan of the scene, in fact, that this freelance writer and pro-Memphis foodie recently decided to start an online venture called "The Fork" he aims to make a one-stop shop where readers can read about chefs, learn about seasonal ingredients and find a new place to eat in their neighborhoods.
Union Ave Books buzzes with activity on a Tuesday afternoon as families from San Francisco and Paris browse the shelves in the children's section.
A local customer, owner Flossie McNabb explains, has brought the travelers to her store during their East Tennessee visit.
Let's think like farmers for a minute. It has often struck me that if you want to develop practical solutions to problems, you should try to think like farmers. That's because in general farmers are no-nonsense, practical-minded folks. Don't get me wrong, I like out-of-the-box thinking as much as the next guy. However, there's a time and a place for all kinds of thinking and when you need to solve a real-world problem quickly, you might want to try thinking like a farmer.
I always liked the so-called Alexandrian solution. In summary, there was a length of rope tied into an unbelievably complex knot in a kingless kingdom located in an area that is considered modern day Turkey. It was called the Gordian knot; named after an ox-cart driving peasant farmer named Gordias.
U.S. Rep. Stephen Fincher told a group of business owners and others who work on the Mississippi River that the political environment in Washington is changing.
Fincher is a member of the Congressional Mississippi River Caucus that is pushing for continuing funding for infrastructure along the river.
Years after Henry Turley experienced the Memphis sanitation workers' strike and the aftermath of Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination, took advantage of the Community Reinvestment Act and persuaded banks to reinvest in the Downtown core, not to mention spearheaded revitalization in the Harbor Town and Uptown areas, he's making a "micro bet" on building nice neighborhoods around excellent schools.
Earlier this month, workers at the Delta BioRenewables plant at Agricenter International loaded a commercial-sized batch of the processed sugar juice from crushed sweet sorghum stalks into a commercial tanker truck.
Of Memphis' tales of humble beginnings, of which there are many, the fluctuating renaissance of the Cooper-Young neighborhood is certainly compelling throughout.
The area has cycled from its 19th century roots to 1970s crime and neglect to its present-day status as one of the largest historic districts in the Southeast, a magnet of all ages and walks of life. All thanks to individuals and organizations that wouldn't settle for sub-par quality in their tiny town within the bustling Bluff City.
A LIST YOU CAN SINK YOUR TEETH INTO. So many of you seemed to salivate over last year's Tasteful List, I've updated it for 2012. While reduced some, make no mistake, there's nothing dietary about it.
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) – The remnants of Hurricane Isaac could bring welcome rain to some states in the Mississippi River valley this week, but experts say it's unlikely to break the drought gripping the Midwest.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Some cornstalks in fields around the farm where David Kellerman works stand tall, but appearances can be deceiving. When the husks are pulled back, the cobs are empty. No kernels developed as the plants struggled with heat and drought.
A usual day for Jason Doty starts at about 2:30 a.m. The 38-year-old pastry chef is due at Bluff City Coffee's new commercial kitchen in Pembroke Square by 4 a.m. to begin "the load for the day."
Ray's Take It's the time of year when local farmers' markets start to crop up. Patronizing these markets – along with other sources for locally grown food – can be beneficial to your health and taste buds, your family culture, and even have a positive impact on our local economy.
The cost of your Thanksgiving dinner wasn't much to be thankful for, was it?
Let's put the situation in this light: According to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, prices for 55 food commodities are at their highest level since tracking began in 1990.
Previously, I wrote about the fact that nature tends to get things right, and if you replicate patterns found in nature, you will likely be successful at whatever you desire to accomplish at work. Now let's take things a step further and consider a situation where humans and nature must totally cooperate to accomplish a desired result: Let's talk about farming.
In the wake of 9/11, Estée Lauder Cos. chairman Leonard Lauder noticed his company was selling more lipstick than usual.
A 2008 New York Times article explained Lauder proposed lipstick purchases were a way to gauge the economy. When it's shaky, he said in the article, women are more apt to boost their mood by buying inexpensive lipstick than pricey shoes.
One in an occasional series on the signature dishes of local chefs.
The Pan Seared Chilean Sea Bass at McEwen's on Monroe not only wasn't foreseen as a signature dish, it wasn't even supposed to be on the menu.
In the daily hustle and bustle of city life, it's easy for Memphians to forget that the urban pocket they call home sits amid one of the nation's richest agricultural regions.
And the world's largest urban farm, nonprofit Agricenter International at 7777 Walnut Grove Road, is continually working to create more awareness about farming through educational programs and to advance agricultural technologies through research and trials.
It's not hard these days to find a local bank trying to attract customers by promising how different it is from the competition.
It is hard, however, to find a bank that can make that claim for as many reasons as Financial Federal, which began its 26th year in business in 2011 with several milestones and announcements that unquestionably help the bank stand out.
"By Jan. 2, there will no vestige of Grace," said Ben Vaughn.
When Vaughn announced two weeks ago that Grace, his restaurant in Cooper-Young, was closing, it seemed like a throwback to the bad economy days of 2009, especially combined with other recent closings.

Furcal, Konerko Join Major League Baseball's All-Star Rosters
July 11 (Bloomberg) -- Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Rafael Furcal and Chicago White Sox first baseman Paul Konerko were given spots yesterday on Major League Baseball's All-Star rosters.
Furcal replaces the injured New York Mets' Jose Reyes on the National League's roster for the 81st All-Star Game on July 13 in Anaheim, California.
Reyes strained his already sore left side when he tried to field a seventh-inning grounder by Troy Glaus, turned and made a long throw to first base in yesterday's 4-0 loss to Atlanta.
Konerko will join the American League All-Star team, replacing Justin Morneau of the Minnesota Twins who is still suffering the effects of a base-running collision.
Konerko, who has a .299 batting average with 20 home runs and 62 runs batted in this season, was selected for his fourth All-Star game by manager Joe Girardi.
Morneau took a knee to the head from Toronto's John McDonald on July 7 while sliding into second base. He missed his third straight game yesterday because of concussion-like symptoms.

Originally written on Fox Sports | Last updated 3/10/12
Danny Valencia hit a three-run homer among his two hits Saturday as the Minnesota Twins broke out of a hitting funk and beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 4-2. Valencia doubled in the fifth inning and homered in the sixth. It was Twins' first extra-base hit in six games. The Twins did all their scoring off reliever Jo-Jo Reyes, who allowed four hits and a walk in two innings. Twins starter Terry Doyle allowed two runs on seven hits and one walk in 2 2-3 innings. Doyle was a Rule 5 pick in December and must be offered back to the Chicago White Sox if he doesn't make the Twins' roster. Erik Bedard tossed three scoreless innings and gave up one hit for Pittsburgh. Casey McGehee went 3 for 3 with one RBI and Nate McLouth went 2 for 2.

The decision was, instead, an intervention by a force of order into a sphere of mounting (and potentially catastrophic) disorder.
"Seeking their permission was not in my sphere of responsibility," Sanderson replied.
This may be precisely the point: that fiction at its best is a sphere of suspended belief as much as suspended disbelief.
1530s, restored spelling of Middle English spere (c.1300) "space, conceived as a hollow globe about the world," from Old French espere (13c.), from Latin sphaera "globe, ball, celestial sphere," from Greek sphaira "globe, ball," of unknown origin.
Sense of "ball, body of globular form" is from late 14c. Medieval astronomical meaning "one of the 8 (later 10) concentric, transparent, hollow globes believed to revolve around the earth and carry the heavenly bodies" is from late 14c.; the supposed harmonious sound they made rubbing against one another was the music of the spheres (late 14c.). Meaning "range of something" is first recorded c.1600 (e.g. sphere of influence, 1885, originally in reference to Anglo-German colonial rivalry in Africa). A spherical number (1640s) is one whose powers always terminate in the same digit as the number itself (5,6, and 10 are the only ones).
sphere (sfēr)
A ball-shaped or a globular body.

Anyone ever done this?? I just got an email about it. They have non-fiction books 50 for $50, regularly $320. I see various ones like this now and then. This one doesn't say a lot about the books aside from the age range and the fact that they are all nonfiction. I know some of their classroom sets have duplicate books. So wondering if anyone has done this and if they are dupicates or 50 different books.
UPDATE: they also have some $1 books on sale right now too. http://shop.scholastic.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/SearchEndecaCmd?Featured%20Shops=Dollar+Books&APP_ID=TS&Ne=764&homeURL=custom&viewParam=CategoryDisplay&N=4294965484&goToView=CategoryDisplayView&CurrFilter=Featured+Shops&catalogId=10002&storeId=10001&langId=-1&Ntk=Product_Shop_Rank&Ntt=52258&filterValue=Dollar+Books&goToView=CategoryDisplayView&esp=tshome/0212/espot1/dollarbooks

"If I can sell my weeds, I'm really making money," she said.
One Straw offers a popular community-supported agriculture program known as a CSA, through which customers pay for a season's worth of produce up front and get a weekly allotment of veggies. When purslane shows up in the CSA box, customers are puzzled.
"The first question is, 'What is it?'" Norman said. "And you say, 'It's purslane. … It's a weed.' At that point, they say, 'Is that what I saw on the front sidewalk? I can eat it?'"
Norman's response to that: "Well, it depends where your dog goes."
One stumped CSA subscriber recently posted a photo of purslane on the Google group Baltimore Food Makers, asking for help identifying the mystery green.
Hanne Blank, an author and accomplished cook, was among those who piped up to sing purslane's praises.
She recommended it in dishes ranging from Salade Nicoise ("its texture and taste marry well with the oily/pungent things like olives and anchovies") to the Mexican pork stew Puerco con Verdolagas ("it does become mucilaginous, but the effect is very like putting okra in gumbo").
"The only thing to bear in mind with purslane is that you either want it raw/barely cooked through, or else you wanna cook the [heck] out of it, probably with an acid along for the ride," she wrote. "Anything in between is likely to seem unpleasantly slimy to the American palate."
From July until frost, Jamie Forsythe is surrounded by purslane by day, as manager of the Karzai restaurant group's Fig Leaf Farm in Howard County, Maryland. He takes some of the stuff with him to his night job, as chef at b restaurant in Bolton Hill.
He likes its "lemony" and "assertive cucumber" flavors, at least before the plant flowers later in the season and gets too tough.
"We've used it to finish soups," he said. "When you get it when it's small and tender, it's really great for a salad."
Not that he's growing the stuff on purpose at the restaurant farm. It just sprouted around his corn and tomato plants.
"I know someone who tried to cultivate it once and they were never able to get rid of it," he said. "Like mint."

Edmonton Oilers goaltender Nikolai Khabibulin is facing an additional charge of extreme drunken driving in Arizona stemming from his arrest earlier this month, according to multiple media reports.
In Arizona, an additional charge of extreme drunken driving can be brought when a motorist's blood alcohol level exceeds 0.15 percent. The charge is a misdemeanor with a maximum jail sentence of six months.

ASHBURN, Va. — All the medical terms associated with Robert Griffin III's knee injury can be boiled down to one simple message: It's not too bad.
Beyond that, there are still some very important unknowns.
The NFL's top-rated quarterback might or might not play Sunday when the Washington Redskins visit the Cleveland Browns.
The rookie has a Grade 1 sprain of the lateral collateral ligament on the outside of his right knee, caused when he was hit at the end of a scramble late in regulation in the Redskins' 31-28 overtime win Sunday over the Baltimore Ravens.
Coach Mike Shanahan, knowing full well that it makes the other team work extra to prepare for two quarterbacks, will no doubt wait as long as possible to publicly commit one way or the other to Griffin or fellow rookie Kirk Cousins.
"Both of them will have a game plan," Shanahan said Monday.

Obama Budget Set for March 4 Release to Open Debate on Spending
Jan. 23 (Bloomberg) -- President Barack Obama will send his fiscal 2015 budget proposal to Congress on March 4, setting his terms for the debate over government spending and taxes for the coming year.
The spending blueprint for the fiscal year beginning Oct.1 is going to lawmakers about a month later than the legal deadline because lawmakers were late in approving a final spending plan for the current year.
"Now that Congress has finished its work on this year's appropriations, the administration is able to finalize next year's budget," Steve Posner, a spokesman for the Office of Management and Budget, said in an e-mail.
Partisan fights over spending and policy stalled action on the federal budget for the current fiscal year and let to a partial government shutdown in October. Lawmakers reached an accord early this month and Obama signed a $1.1 trillion spending plan into law on Jan. 17.
That amount represents the money subject to annual review by Congress. The remainder is mandatory spending, such as Social Security and Medicare. Obama's last budget totaled $3.78 trillion.
Last year's deficit of $680 billion was the lowest in five years.

Phoenix Suns at Dallas Mavericks Preview and Pick
- Updated: February 16, 2010
NBA Basketball Betting Preview
Phoenix Suns (31-22) at Dallas Mavericks (32-20)
Wednesday February 17th, 9:00PM Eastern
Betus.com betting line – TBA
The Dallas Mavericks will host the Phoenix Suns Wednesday night for the 3rd meeting between both squads this season. In the first meeting, Dirk Nowitzki dropped 33 points to lead the Mavericks to a thrilling 102-101 victory. However, the Suns got revenge in Phoenix led by Amare Stoudemire who scored 22 points in a 112-106 victory. Now both ball clubs will square off again while Dallas will look for another win over the Suns on their home floor. In fact, the Mavericks lead the Southwest standings by just 1 ½ games and every game will be important during the 2nd half of the season for each team.
Despite both teams playing late games on Tuesday night, Phoenix actually rolls into the game with some confidence and momentum. The Suns put together 5 straight wins before dropping to Portland before the All-Star break. Amare Stoudemire was a big reason for that streak dropping a minimum of 20 points in those 6 contests. However with heavy trade rumors surrounding Stoudemire, there will be many questioning if there will be any distractions for both Phoenix and/or Stoudemire. Steve Nash had an excellent outing against the Mavericks in the last meeting with 11 assists and 19 points. However, the play of Jason Richardson tends to influence the Suns as much as any other player. When Richardson is playing well it gives Phoenix another big threat and the rest of the Suns tend to feed of that momentum. In fact, consider this impressive stat. The Suns are 14-2 when Richardson scores 20 points or more this season. However, 1 of those 2 losses was against Dallas earlier this year.
The Mavericks were a bit disappointing leading up to the All-Star break losing 5 of their last 7 games despite still holding a slight advantage over the Spurs in the Southwest. However, the Mavericks have won 4 straight homes games over the Suns and will look to extend that streak on Wednesday. One of the big stories surrounding Dallas is the recent acquisition of Caron Butler from the Wizards. The Mavericks landed Butler, Brendan Haywood, and DeShawn Stevenson after giving up Josh Howard and Drew Gooden. The immediate impact of the trade should benefit the Mavericks and perhaps make them a much stronger team during the latter part of the season. The question is how quickly will the pieces fall into place? Still, the Suns biggest challenge will be stopping Nowitzki who is averaging 24 points per game. Nowitzki scored 33 points in the first win over the Suns, but was then held to 19 points in the loss at Phoenix so needless a lot will ride on Dirk's shoulders Wednesday night.
Betting Trends –
Phoenix has won 5 of their last 6 games against the books while reaching the under total in 4 straight games. Dallas is just 3-13 ATS in their last 16 outing during a very disappointing stretch of games. The Mavericks are also 0-2 ATS against the Suns this season and have reached the over total in 7 of their last 9 games.
Pick – Suns

Viral hemorrhagic fevers (VHFs) are diseases caused by several
distinct viral families usually found in animals, especially certain rats and
mice, or insects such as mosquitoes. But the origins of some viruses are
not yet known, such as the Ebola and Marburg viruses.
hemorrhagic fevers affect multiple organs in the body and range from mild to
life-threatening. The symptoms of viral hemorrhagic fevers vary, but often
When the illness is severe, symptoms may include bleeding
(hemorrhage) under the skin, in internal organs, or from body orifices such as
the mouth, eyes, or ears. Other symptoms of severe illness include shock, coma,
and seizures.
Although some treatments, such as the antiviral drug
ribavirin, may help relieve some symptoms, no standard cure exists for viral
hemorrhagic fevers. Also, vaccines are available for only two strains of
viral hemorrhagic fevers: yellow fever and Argentine hemorrhagic fever.
Avoiding contact with the animals and insects known to carry viral hemorrhagic
fevers is the main form of protection.

I built this about a couple years ago. I wanted the two together and since there wasn't a Black Cat model I decided to use Storm. Both kits are Toy-Biz. So I took Storm and repositioned her legs, added better looking hair, redid her face, redid her costume and added her to the Spiderman kit. Her necklace is a seed bead. Her hair is mohair a color called Honey. I like building figure kits, super heros, monsters, as a break from cars. Thanks for looking.

Wow! Very cool! I am not much into Spiderman, But if you remember " The Amazing Spiderman Issue #129", It was the first appearance of my favorite Marvel Hero...... It's too bad they don't make comics like they use too. Great Job on those Figures and Display. .

Thanks! I had fun doing this. My wife had a lot to do with her hair, it was the first time I ever used synthetic hair on a model. So she helped putting it on and styling it.

Arlington's offices and schools will be closed on Monday, Jan. 19 for Martin Luther King, Jr., Day.
On Friday, Jan. 16, the district, circuit and family courts, sheriff's office and the Department of Motor Vehicles in Arlington will also be closed for Virginia's Lee Jackson Day, and all will reopen on Tuesday, Jan. 20.
Arlington's county offices will be open on Friday, as will schools and community centers, but all will be closed the following Monday in observance of the holiday. Arlington's libraries and human services offices will also close.
Parking meters will not be enforced and ART lines 41, 42, 51, 77 and 87 will be operating on a Saturday schedule. STAR transit will provide dialysis runs only, and the rest of county-run public transportation will not be running.
Trash and recycling collection will be on normal schedule on Monday
For many, the holiday season is a time of happiness, family and gifts. For others, it's also a trying time and a reminder of recent losses.
The Unitarian Universalist Church of Arlington (4444 Arlington Blvd) is holding a service this Sunday for those who experience what the church calls "the dark side of the holidays."
"This time of year can be a stressful time for most, but it can be especially difficult for people who may have suffered a major loss or have had a major life-changing experience in the past year," the church wrote in an email. "Even happy memories can bring pain during the holidays. And, today's commercialization and idealized images of what our holidays should be like are standards and expectations enough to stress the most ardent among us."
The service will be on Sunday at 6:30 p.m. and is open to all, but is not appropriate for young children, the church said. The service, called "Standing Outside the Season," will be hosted by Rev. Aaron McEmrys. Childcare will be provided.
(Updated at 4:35 p.m.) December is here, and with it comes a month-long celebration of the holiday season.
There are numerous events around the county this month, from holiday markets to ice skating "winter spectaculars."
Here's a selection of some of the more notable events in the area:
- Shirlie Lights Up the Village, an annual tree lighting event with live music, carriage rides and a visit from Santa Claus, will take place in Shirlington Village on Dec. 3 from 6:30-8:30 p.m.
- This Friday, Dec. 5, from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m., Miracle on 23rd Street is back for another year. At the Linden Resources at 750 23rd Street S., Santa Claus will ride through on an Arlington County Fire Department truck, kicking off an evening of children's activities and holiday music.
- On Dec. 5 and 6, from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., the Rosslyn Business Improvement is bringing back the Rosslyn Holiday Market for another year. More than 35 vendors with products as diverse as soaps, gourmet popcorn, metalworks and French macarons will be on hand to offer shoppers heaps of gift options. After Friday's market closes, the BID will hold a ceremony lighting up Rosslyn's skyline.
- Pentagon Row is hosting "Let It Row," a winter event at its ice rink, on Saturday from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. The event is free and features a DJ and a "s'mores bar."
- For the first time, Penrose Square on Columbia Pike is hosting its own "Winter Wonderland" event, on Sunday, Dec. 7 from 1:00-5:00 p.m. They will have their own Santa Claus available for pictures, plus carolers, hot chocolate and cookies from Giant and ornament decoration stations. The event will close with a tree lighting ceremony in the breezeway outside Giant.
- Market Common Clarendon, at the intersection of Clarendon Blvd and N. Edgewood Street, is hosting a "Winter Wonderland," on Saturday Dec. 13. This free event is replete with Santa Clause on a fire truck at noon, ice carvings and characters in life-size snow globes.
- The Arlington Career Center, at 816 S. Walter Reed Drive, will host this year's Arlington Holiday Bazaar on Dec. 13 from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. There will be pizza provided by RedRocks, more than 40 vendors, singers from the Wakefield High School choir and manicures from Career Center students.

Arlington County government offices, courts and schools will be closed on Thursday and Friday for the Thanksgiving weekend.
Arlington Public Schools close Wednesday and remain closed until Monday, Dec. 1. Arlington's Circuit Court, General District Court, Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court will all close at noon Wednesday and reopen after the holiday break.
Arlington County Police Department won't enforce parking meters on either day, but Saturday will be treated as a regular weekend day before parkers get another day off from meters on Sunday.
Park grounds will be open, but all parks and recreation classes, programs and indoor facilities, like community centers, will be closed on Thursday and Friday.
Trash, recycling and leaf pickup will continue on a normal schedule, the county says, as will brush, metal and electronics pickup. Leaf pickup is cancelled for Thursday, but if you live in Zone 5, your service will resume on Friday.
Only ART routes 41 and 51 will run on Thanksgiving Day, and they will run on Sunday schedules. On Friday, route 41, 42, 51, 77 and 87 will run on Sunday schedules.
County Government Open on Columbus Day — Even though it's a federal holiday, Arlington County government offices will be open for Columbus Day on Monday. Courts, DMV offices, the Sheriff's Office and other state-related offices will be closed. Arlington Public Schools will be closed for a teacher work day. [Arlington County]

Higher Charges for DCA Passengers? — Reagan National Airport is expected to have its traffic increase by another two million passengers next year, while overtaking both Dulles and BWI in passengers by the end of this year. To help keep up with the growth, and perhaps encourage use of the recently-upgraded Dulles International Airport instead, the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority is considering an increase of the passenger fee at DCA from $4.50 to $8.50. [WTOP]
Metrorail Ridership Continues to Slide — Ridership on Metrorail is continuing its five-year-slide. Ridership has slipped from a high of 225 million annual trips in 2009 to just over 200 million annual trips now. A shrinking federal workforce, increased telecommuting and increased bike and bus commuting are said to be the main drivers of the decrease. [Washington City Paper]
Office Buildings as Schools — Converting older office buildings into schools is increasingly being eyed as a two-fold solution to office vacancies and a school capacity crunch in Northern Virginia. In Falls Church, a five-story office building was converted into an elementary school — although a full gymnasium has yet to be built. [Washington Post]
'Historic' Garage Move Considered — Arlington's Historical Affairs and Landmark Review Board will meet on Wednesday and consider a proposal to move a "historic garage" from county property onto the now privately-owned Fraber House site in Cherrydale. Preservationists might not be thrilled about the move, which would also require the removal of an oak tree. "Historic preservation advocates had wanted the county to draw the historic district line around the garage so that this wouldn't have to happen… oh well," one tipster told ARLnow.com. [PDF]

Arlington County schools and government offices will be closed on Monday for Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.
Arlington administrative and human services offices, libraries, and schools will be closed on Monday, Jan. 20. Parking meters will not be enforced. Courts and the Sheriff's Office will be closed on Friday and Monday.
The Arlington Mill Community Center will be open from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., but all other community centers will be closed.

Arlington will hold its annual tribute to Dr. King from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. on Sunday, Jan. 19, at the Washington-Lee High School auditorium (1301 N. Stafford Street).
"The program, now in its 45th year, will feature live music from the Duke Ellington School of the Arts Show Choir, dance from Lesole's Dance Project and spoken word from Arlington's own Joan Trumpauer Mulholland," according to the county website.
Disclosure: The Martin Luther King, Jr. Tribute is being advertised on ARLnow.com.
Retail sales are an important component of Arlington County's economy.
The top 8 retail centers in Arlington, including the Fashion Centre at Pentagon City and Ballston Common Mall, alone house 644 stores. Arlington retailers recorded a total of $3.27 billion worth of taxable sales in 2012.
The holidays are obviously a crucial time for retailers, providing on outsized portion of annual sales and profit. But with retail sales growth sluggish compared to the growth in online sales, and with the large regional malls in Tysons Corner and outlet stores elsewhere continuing to lure shoppers, the holidays could be a struggle for some local stores.
As such, we were wondering, dollar-wise, what percentage of holiday present purchases made this year by Arlington residents were actually made in Arlington stores.
If you're preparing to travel during the holidays, you're in good company. AAA Mid-Atlantic predicts nearly half of the residents in the D.C. metro region will leave the area in the next few days.
Nearly 2.4 million people, or about 41 percent of the metro region's population, are expected to travel 50 miles or more during the time period from this Saturday, December 21, through Wednesday, January 1. That's a small increase of 0.1 percent over last year. This will be the fifth consecutive year for such an increase, and the highest recorded travel volume for the winter holiday season.
"Unfortunately, a number of Washingtonians sat out three of the first four holiday travel periods of the year as an upshot of all the political drama in the nation's capital and the economic stress it engendered. But they will not be denied nor deny themselves or their families during the Christmas and New Year's holiday travel period," said John B. Townsend II, AAA Mid-Atlantic's Manager of Public and Government Affairs.
Air travel is expected to slightly decline to 129,300 travelers, compared with 130,400 last year. The number of people traveling by train or bus is also down this year, by about two percent. Automobile travel, however, is expected to increase by 0.3 percent, to more than 2.1 million people.
D.C. metro area residents plan on traveling an average of 965 miles for the holidays. That's up from 805 miles last year.
In light of the holiday party season being in full swing and lasting through the new year, the Arlington County Police Department reminds residents to pay attention and stay safe on the roads.
ACPD reminds drivers to use seat belts, drive safely and pay attention to the roads. In addition to an increase in drunk drivers and distracted drivers around the holidays, police report 32 percent of drivers are more likely to drive more aggressively during this time.
Police had noticed an uptick in drunk driving incidents last month, just before Thanksgiving. During the Thanksgiving weekend alone, Virginia had 11 traffic fatalities. The ACPD hopes drivers will heed its safety message in order to avoid a similar scenario around the Christmas and New Year's Eve holidays.
Here are the safety tips offered by ACPD:
- Buckle up — The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that more than half of the people killed nationwide in traffic collisions were not wearing seatbelts.
- Protect Child Passengers — The safest place for child passengers is in the back seat. Be sure they have a child safety seat and that it is used the correct way.
- Don't Drink & Drive — Every 45 minutes in the U.S., someone dies from an alcohol-related crash. Be responsible and don't drink and drive. If you do drink, designate a sober driver or take a cab or public transportation. The Arlington County Police Department is participating in the annual "Drive Sober Or Get Pulled Over" enforcement initiative that continues through the New Year's holiday.
- Avoid Distractions — 10% of fatal crashes and 18% of injuries caused by crashes were distraction related in 2012. Distractions to avoid while driving include, but aren't limited to, cell phone use, texting, eating, drinking, and using in-vehicle technologies or portable electronic devices.
- Prepare for Inclement Weather — Last year, 4% of car crash fatalities over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend were weather related. Be sure your car is weather ready and fully serviced. Should the weather be bad, avoid driving. If you are driving, be sure to drive slowly and know your vehicle.
The department added the following greeting: "From our family to yours, the Arlington County Police Department wishes you a safe, happy, and accident free holiday season."
During the holiday season, the need for volunteers is especially high, but it continues beyond the holidays as well.
There's an immediate need for people to help this week with sorting and distributing donated coats, or next week with distributing donated children's holiday gifts. In the coming months, people are asked to help out with tasks like income tax preparation.
Numerous opportunities can be found on the Volunteer Arlington website, such as the following:
- Children's Gift Distribution — Volunteers have already sorted most of the donated children's gifts for the Salvation Army's Angel Tree holiday program, but help is needed for distributing the items. Distribution takes place next Wednesday, December 18. Volunteers must be at least 13 years old, and those between the ages of 13 and 16 must be accompanied by an adult. Contact Luisa Slay at 703-979-3380 or online.
- Coat Drive Distribution — Nauck Community Services Center has collected hundreds of coats and had them cleaned, and now volunteers are needed from 7:00-9:00 p.m. this Friday, December 13, to help sort the items. Volunteers are also needed from 8:00-10:00 a.m. this Saturday, November 14, to help neighbors in need pick out the perfect coat for themselves and family members. Contact Bri Sheffey at 703-229-5650 or online.
- Ship Bicycles to Africa — Bikes for the World is looking for people to help load hundreds of donated bikes and bike parts into 40 foot shipping containers. The items are used for health, education and jobs programs in Africa. Training will be provided. A number of dates are available over the next few months. Contact Yvette Hess at 703-740-7856 or online.
- Income Tax Assistance — Volunteers are requested by the DC EITC Campaign for helping people with income tax preparation early next year. A number of positions exist, including tax preparer, client coordinator, greeter and savings promoter. Training will take place in January and helpers must pass an IRS volunteer test. Shifts vary throughout the 2014 tax season. Contact Elizabeth Rosenberg at 202-547-7773 or online.
- Tutor Young Adults — Helpers are needed for assisting students in trying to earn their high school diplomas. Communities in Schools of Northern Virginia requests tutors to work on-site at a local high school to assist students with English, reading, science or math. A commitment of 2-10 hours per week is required. All tutors must be 18 or older and have a high school diploma. Volunteers must also complete a background check. Contact Daphne Charles at 703-228-8694 or online.
Police had a particularly busy afternoon on Sunday (November 24) due to a number of hit and run DUI incidents.
The Arlington County Police Department responded to 14 DUI incidents this weekend. On Sunday afternoon alone, there were four DUI hit and run cases. Police say that number is more typical of a Friday or Saturday night, not a Sunday afternoon.
"This is not a typical shift, with four similar DUI hit and runs. We were able to locate the individuals and apprehend them a short time after the incidents," said ACPD spokesman Dustin Sternbeck. "This is unusual for a Sunday afternoon."
One of the incidents involved police receiving calls about a car on I-66 westbound with what appeared to be one missing tire. Officers checking out the reports saw the driver of the vehicle hit another vehicle and attempt to leave the scene. She then reportedly hit the concrete barrier, which stopped her car near Glebe Road.
Officers had to remove the woman from her vehicle because they said she was unable to stand or hold up her own head. She was taken to the hospital as a precaution but did not have any serious injuries. Blood drawn at the hospital showed the woman had a blood alcohol level of .36. She was arrested for DUI and hit and run.
All of the drivers in the other three hit and run incidents were also tracked down and arrested for DUI and hit and run, among other offenses.
ACPD cautions drivers that DUI incidents tend to increase during holiday weeks. The department will have addition patrols out this week checking for drunk drivers in light of the Thanksgiving holiday.
"If you're driving, please don't drink," Sternbeck said. "If you do drink alcohol, please use a sober designated driver and wear your seatbelt."
Arlington County is asking residents to donate gift cards to help needy families and children in foster care for the holidays.
The gift cards, distributed by the county's Department of Human Services, will help foster children, people with disability and low-income buy gifts or food for the holiday season.
Cards from grocery stores, drug stores, clothing stores and department stores like Target are encouraged. DHS requests gift cards instead of gifts to empower the recipients to buy what they need most.
The gift cards should be of no more value than $25, but Secret Santas can send multiple gift cards. The gifts should include the value of the card and be sent by Dec. 17 to:
Secret Santa Program c/o Kurt Larrick
Department of Human Services
2100 Washington Blvd., 4th Floor
Arlington, VA 22204
If you include a return address or email address, the county will send back a thank you note and a tax receipt.

Arlington County offices will be open on Columbus Day (Monday).
County offices and libraries will be open for the federal holiday. ART buses and Metro will run on a holiday schedule. Courts will be closed.
Parking meters will be enforced. Arlington Public Schools and administrative offices will be open, but students will not have class.
The Central Library needs volunteers for a project that has nothing to do with books and everything to do with toys. It's seeking a "doll groomer."
The library recently began lending American Girl dolls and the toys are getting a lot of play time. Volunteers are needed for upkeep of the dolls, including combing their hair, washing their clothes and replacing worn out parts. The position posting reads: "We need someone who enjoys working with dolls and their belongings and who is dependable."
There would be a weekly commitment, but hours are flexible. Ideal candidates are teens or a parent/child team. Those 18 years and older must consent to a background check.
Interested volunteers should contact Barbara Dean at 703-228-7688 or put in a request online.
Below are a few other new volunteer opportunities around Arlington:
- Community Picnic Volunteers — The Arlington Partnership for Affordable Housing is looking for helpers at a picnic it is hosting for residents at Columbia Grove on July 15. Volunteers would help with setup and cleanup, leading games for children, face painting, cooking and distributing food and drinks. The picnic is designed to help residents meet their neighbors and build a sense of community. The event runs from 3:30-7:30 p.m., but arrangements may be made for those who can't stay the entire time. Anyone interested in helping should contact Liz McElwee at 703-851-3635 or send an online request.
- Angel Tree Family Registration — Although it's summertime, the Salvation Army is already looking for people to help with its Angel Tree holiday gift program. The program identifies needy children and matches each one with a sponsor who will provide holiday gifts for the child. Volunteers will register needy families for the program and help make holiday wish lists. Helpers must be available on weekdays from September 16-October 11, but the schedule is flexible. Although volunteers who are available on a recurring basis are preferred, those who are only available on a one-time basis will also be considered. To sign up, call Brittney Drakeford at 202-756-2615 or send an online request.
- Spanish Academy Teacher Assistant — Volunteer teacher assistants are needed for Edu-Futuro's Spanish Academy — a two week (August 12-23) summer immersion camp that provides cultural and academic enrichment and Spanish language skills to rising kindergarteners through fifth graders. Volunteers will perform tasks such as assisting with student registration, helping with classroom activities and watching over students during activities and recess breaks. Applicants should have Spanish language skills (verbal and written), experience working with children and must go through a background check. To sign up, contact Eneida Alcade at 703-228-2560 or send an online request.

This application describes the use of a new commercial PCR enhancer for improving PCR efficiency: the TaqMaster. With this enhancer, an integral component of the MasterTaq Kit by Eppendorf, it was possible to amplify human hsp60 (heatshock protein) and hsp27 amplicons, an application in which five other polymerases, including hot start and proofreading enzymes, failed. The application of the PCR enhancer TaqMaster is highly recommended for solving problems with difficult targets, for detecting low copy RNAs or for increasing product yield.
Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) is a common
method for the detection of gene expression. It can be used qualitatively
to show principle expression of a specific target gene in a cell type
or it may even serve to quantify the expression level of the gene of interest.
In differential gene expression analysis, a search is undertaken for target
genes that are regulated by certain conditions, eg, application of drugs.
There are several methods for identifying these regulated genes; differential
display RT-PCR,1 subtractive hybridization2 or complex hybridization onto
cDNA arrays3 are some of the most common. With these techniques, a set
of candidate sequences is obtained with or without a known identity. All
these potentially regulated sequences need further confirmation that they
really have been expressed different

An extremely gratifying evening of entertainment was had when my wife and I and daughter attended the theater production of "Charlie Cox Runs With Scissors" at the Harlequins Community Theater on Wayne Street. The professionalism displayed by all the actors in the charming romantic comedy was a pleasant surprise for us. Every part of the performance from the set design, costume and makeup, props, and theater staff continued this impression of excellence. For less than the price of a forgettable movie with small soda we had a rollicking good time and even got to meet the actors after the show. The actors were genuinely pleased with the well deserved praise they received from the audience members. The theater is small and lent itself well to a feeling of coziness and, a big plus for me (I am hard of hearing), I never missed a word of the dialogue.

The Pacers need "mean.''
Not taking-candy-from-children mean or shooting-up-a-strip-joint-parking-lot mean, but mean, a guy with a bit of an angry edge and a Machiavellian will to dominate.
Say hello to DeJuan Blair, the University of Pittsburgh forward who joined North Carolina's Ty Lawson, UCLA's Jrue Holiday, Wake Forest's Jeff Teague, Michigan State's Goran Suton and Florida State's Toney Douglas at the Pacers' predraft workout Monday at Conseco Fieldhouse.
If he's still there when the Pacers select at No. 13 nine days from now -- assuming, of course, they remain at No. 13 -- Blair is my pick.
He may not have the prototypical power forward height at 6-61/2, but he's got the wingspan of a pterodactyl (he's as wide as Roy Hibbert is tall at 7-2), he's strong, has good hands, he's an accomplished passer and he can rebound and play defense.
More, though, he's got passion, a motor, an unmistakable don't-mess-with-me attitude.
Weaknesses? Absolutely. Otherwise he'd be a top-five guy instead of someone who acknowledged Monday he expects to go between Nos. 10 and 20. Height is clearly an issue, although he's quick to remind you that Charles Barkley, who was 6-6, wasn't supposed to be big enough to compete at power forward.
Blair will certainly have a tough time in the low post offensively -- hard to see how he's going to find his shot consistently -- but the Pacers are not in the market for a big-time scorer.
They need defense.
They need rebounding.
They need Blair.
Looking for a current comparison? How about Utah's 6-8 rebounding machine Paul Millsap?
"The Pacers are looking for somebody with a mean edge,'' I told him. "Are you a little bit mean?''
"Of course,'' he said softly.
Then he paused and flashed a toothy smile. "I'm a mean person.''
OK, maybe not mean . . .
"Tough,'' he said. "This league is tough and I'm a tough person already. I would bring a low-post presence, rebounding and toughness.''
The only problem will be if Blair isn't there at No. 13, which is entirely possible. The word is that Blair, who dropped 35 pounds since the end of last season, has helped himself immensely in the weeks leading up to the June 25 draft.
Of course, most of these reports begin with words like, "Those in the know say . . .'' and "There's a growing consensus that . . .'' And those words are often written by somebody like me, who knows as much about prospect/project Jrue Holiday as he does vegan cooking and Javanese history.
As we all know, the 10-day countdown to draft day is rife with smoke screens and strategic lies. Nobody is showing their hand, save for the Los Angeles Clippers, who hold the top pick and have unabashedly embraced Blake Griffin. At this point, the only folks who know where the Pacers are leaning are members of Larry Bird's inner circle.
Just for grins, I checked out several mock drafts Monday. Five Web sites had the Pacers taking Duke's Gerald Henderson. Four had them taking Blair. Four had them taking Syracuse point guard Jonny Flynn. Two had point guard Brandon Jennings, who played last season in Italy. There were single votes for North Carolina's Tyler Hansbrough, Louisville's Earl Clark and Gonzaga's Austin Daye.
The only thing I know for sure is, the Pacers have to take the best player available, whether he fills an immediate need or not. A Blair-like interior presence would be my choice, as long as he's available, but if he's not, it doesn't matter if the Pacers choose another point guard or a swingman.
You don't start plugging holes until you've moved past the .500 mark.
So, I asked Blair, if he was so heavy in college, why didn't he lose the weight before his first payday beckoned?
"I have a lot more time to (train) now,'' he said, sounding like a guy who's tired of talking about his height and weight and just about everything else. "In college, you have just a couple of hours with school and everything else. And I'm not around fast food a lot.''
The question a general manager has to ask is, will he maintain that slimmer physique once he cashes that first big paycheck?
Here's the moment when I began thinking that Blair would look perfect in an Indiana Pacers uniform: During a regular-season game between Pitt and UConn last year, Blair outmuscled 7-3 Hasheem Thabeet for a rebound, then locked the big man's arm in his and flung Thabeet to the floor like he was a rag doll.
Somehow, I don't see, say, Brandon Rush trying to rip somebody's arm out of its socket, just for the fun of it.
Indianapolis native Jeff Teague, who was among a marquee group of prospects at the fieldhouse, said Blair made a quick impression on him.
"He's an animal,'' Teague said.
Sounds like a Pacer to me.

Tennessee Tech University mechanical and engineering technology major Chase Malone will spend the spring semester working for Shiroki North America on a co-op, or cooperative education, assignment.
Malone, of Gordonsville, will help Shiroki's engineering team on a variety of projects.
"Co-op experience gives TTU students an edge as they get ready to start their careers, especially in a tough job market," said Don Foster, Career Services associate director. "The experiential education program can help student develop skills and better discover what they want to do when they enter the workforce after graduation."
Students from all academic disciplines are eligible for the TTU co-op program, which is coordinated by the Office of Career Services. The office works regularly with hundreds of employers across the Southeast including business, industry, non-profit and government agencies to fit students' career interests.
Tennessee Tech University, with an enrollment of approximately 11,400 students, has been selected as one of the nation's 50 "Best Value" public colleges and universities and "Best Southeastern College" by The Princeton Review.
Malone, son of Bob and Pam, graduated from Gordonsville High School in 2009. He is a senior at TTU.
