BIDDEFORD – Biddeford Mayor Alan Casavant doesn't think residents have rejected the school budget three times because they don't support the local school system.
Instead, said Casavant, who also heads the School Committee, it's a tax rate issue. The new tax rate in Biddeford is $16.54 per $1,000 of valuation, which is an increase of $1.12 from last year's rate of $15.42 per $1,000.
"I see these votes as votes against taxes. I know the tax bills played a role in this latest vote," Casavant said this week. "I received calls from people concerned about their taxes going up by $400 or $700."
On Sept. 20, Biddeford residents rejected a $32.6 million school budget for the second time, 1,035 against to 900 in favor. The vote represented the largest turnout yet for the citywide school spending referendum. A $33.1 million budget was rejected by voters on June 26. City and school officials are now working to cut another $500,000, with a new $32.1 million spending plan likely to face voters Nov. 6.
Although the margin of defeat last week was more than 130 votes, former Mayor Joanne Twomey requested a recount, which was held Monday at City Hall.
After the recount, there was only a two-vote difference in the final figures, which reduced the number of yes votes from 902 to 900, according to City Clerk Carmen Morris.
Twomey and resident Ron Peaker, who voted against the school budget, were in attendance to oversee the recount, along with five city councilors – Melissa Bednarowski, Brad Cote, Rick Laverriere, Mike Ready and Richard Rhames.
On Tuesday, Casavant said he was disappointed that the City Council did not approve cuts recommended by the School Committee before the latest round of voting, and said this time he would be more forceful on insisting that "we budget within our needs."
Earlier this year, Casavant vetoed the initial school budget of $33.1 million, arguing it was too high and too big an impact on taxpayers.
Casavant believes a new school budget can pass on Nov. 6, the date now set for a fourth school spending referendum, if the School Committee and the City Council agree to further cuts totaling a little more than $500,000.
"My gut tells me that would be a good number," Casavant said. "I just hope the City Council will listen this time. It's been very frustrating to have the council fail to factor in the ability of residents to pay" when setting this year's school and municipal budgets.
"I plan to be very clear that we have to respond to the voters," he added. "I think the common feeling out there is that the budget is just too high."
The School Committee was set to vote on a new budget Tuesday, after the Sun Chronicle's deadline, and the City Council is expected to take up that budget and set a new referendum date during its meeting at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 2.
If another $500,000 cut in spending were approved by school and city leaders, voters would face a budget request of about $32.1 million in November. That would mean a total reduction of about $900,000 from the budget as initially proposed.
Superintendent Jeremy Ray said Tuesday he hopes the additional $500,000 in cuts he's proposed will be enough to lead to a positive vote on Nov. 6.
"We really need to close the door on this budget," Ray said, "and start thinking about our fiscal and educational future."
He said there's no doubt the three failed budgets have impacted the schools, but said that "good teaching and learning is still happening. Kids are arriving at school with smiles on their faces."
Ray said the hardest thing about continually adjusting the bottom line is that it has been done on the fly, with no real plan in place.
"I'm really proud of our teachers and staff and how they've handled this, they've really done a remarkable job," he said. "We will get through this and we will still be able to provide quality teaching and learning."
Twomey said she did not expect the recount to change the results from last week, but requested it anyway because "this vote is too important and has too much weighing on it. I'd rather be safe than sorry."
Last week, Twomey said she was frustrated that many of the people who came out to vote had not taken the time to educate themselves regarding the school budget.
"People will not get a different tax bill no matter what happens," she said. "People need to take responsibility for being educated on these issues."
The taxes for the new fiscal year were committed at the end of August and the tax rate was set based on a school budget amount of $32.6 million.
Assuming the final school spending package for this year is below that number, the extra collected in taxes would be put into a special account and used to offset school expenditures in the next fiscal year, Ray said.

11 Attorney Generals Blast Obama Administration for 'Flatly Illegal' Obamacare Changes
Eleven GOP state attorneys general: blastedHealth and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, saying the Obama administration isbreaking the law: each time it changes the Affordable Care Act without going through Congress.
In a letter drafted by West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey, the law enforcement officers condemned President Obama's use of executive order "fixes" for the law, telling Sebelius that the "illegal actions by this administration must stop," according toThe Hill.
The letter specifically noted the president's order allowing policyholders to keep cancelled plans for an additional year.
"We support allowing citizens to keep their health insurance coverage, but the only way to fix this problem-ridden law is to enact changes lawfully: through Congressional action," the letter stated, calling the order "flatly illegal under federal constitutional and statutory law."
The attorneys general of Alabama, Georgia, Idaho, Kansas, Louisiana, Michigan, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Texas and Virginia joined Morrisey in signing the letter.
The Hill reported:
Republicans have often criticized the administration for making changes to the law after the fact. Other switches included the decision to delay the employer insurance mandate for a year, something many lawmakers said should have required a congressional vote.
The officers also slammed Health and Human Services for continuing to "ignore the widespread public outcry over the security of consumers' private information on exchanges" and expressed concern over the administration's decision to "not propose and implement rigorous privacy standards for outreach personnel."
One of the letter's signatories, Gregg Abbott of Texas – who's running for governor this year – appeared "On the Record" with Fox News host Greta van Susteren Thursday night. Watch their exchange here:

I know what you're saying.
But some people want to create a "cheap" look to appeal to people that aren't that "rich".
There is such a thing as "branding towards your target audience"
Or once again I've missed the point and await embarrassment.
"May your hats fly as high as your dreams"Michael Scott
No point Eug.
I'm just tired of it.
But that orange juice, can you even read that?
The funny thing is, Hannaford isn't cheap and actually caters more to the yuppy crowd. If you want cheap around here you go to a Market Basket. They have Hannaford and Stop & Shop beat on brand items as well as store brand, which aren't as lame looking as this. Close, but not quite.
And come on, "my essentials"?Last edited by PrintDriver; 02-19-2012, 11:26 PM.
Ah, now maybe i see your point. Make it look cheap even though it isn't.
Pretty cagey.
Most every supermarket chain has an in-house brand that is usually a bit cheaper and that is branded similarly and more generically than the other things on the shelves.
I can see where you're coming from PD, but I don't mind it so much. Supermarket packaging has always been a backwater of graphic design for some unknown reason. I haven't studied it much, but I've often wondered why these different companies don't give their products more shelf appeal. For all I know, though, cluttered, ugly and garish is what sells. At least the generic-looking Hannaford packaging is consistent and simple.
Looks like it should say "Windows 8" on it.
so clean ... so fresh .... so ... so ...... well ... so so

Labels and branding don't really influence my buying habits so I could care less. The lack of proper capitalization offends me personally and professionally. How can we expect kids to use proper grammar and punctuation when it seems all branding nowadays throws the rule book out the window.
I recently bought a bottle of bodywash purely based on design. I'm a doood and have never bought bodywash let alone walk down that aisle (was with friends).
It's lime and has a great typographic label AND a funky bottle, but not too funky like it's a try hard.
I picked up and looked at a bottle of hair gel recently just because of the label.
It was called Gorilla Snot. The label was pretty funny too.
I might have bought it – if I had hair...
Sometimes we notice something in the grocery store b/c of a branding change. But we always just buy whatever we are used to getting. or sale items.
Often we will pick up a whole new product, but a rebrand? not so much. We'll just critique it in the store and everyone looks at us like freaks.I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not. ~ Kurt Cobain

Rupert Murdoch Hires PR Help, Gives Interview to Own Paper; FBI Investigating Phone Hacking
Rupert Murdoch finally gave an interview about the ongoing investigation into the News Corporation phone hacking scandal in the U.K. today, but he did so on safe terrain: his own. He told the Wall Street Journal, which he bought in 2007, that News Corp. has handled the disclosures of unethical reporting and subsequent cover-up "extremely well in every way possible," and has made just "minor mistakes." Murdoch, 80, said the bad press is "just getting annoyed. I'll get over it. I'm tired." He also praised his son James, head of News International, for having "acted as fast as he could, the moment he could." The Nixon-esque quotes, dripping with delusion and denial, in his publication come on the same day Murdoch brought on public relations help from Edelman to help weather the crisis, as the FBI investigates whether or not victims of 9/11 were also victims of phone hacking by News Corp. minions.

Caesars Entertainment Corp., the largest owner of casinos in the U.S., will offer real-money online poker in Nevada starting Thursday, becoming the second operator to do so since the state legalized web gambling in February.
The game will be marketed under Caesars' World Series of Poker brand, the Las Vegas-based company said Monday at a briefing. The announcement coincides with plans to raise as much as $1.18 billion by selling stock in Caesars Acquisition Co., an entity that will own a stake in the online gambling business, as well as casinos in Las Vegas and Baltimore.
Online gambling is projected to be a $7.4 billion business in the U.S. by 2017, according to researcher H2 Gaming Capital. Nevada will represent about $400 million of that. Caesars Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Gary Loveman has said he hopes to begin taking online bets in New Jersey later this year. New Jersey, Nevada and Delaware are the only states that have legalized online betting and are vetting would-be operators.
Ultimate Poker, a unit of Las Vegas-based Station Casinos LLC, was first to offer legal online betting in the U.S. In August, the company said it had dealt more than 10 million hands since the April debut in Nevada.
Caesars rose 0.5% to $24.69 at 2:41 p.m. in New York. The stock has more than tripled this year.

Asean must address Rohingya issue: Surin
Publication Date : 04-02-2013
The Rohingya immigrant issue is an internal affair of Myanmar, which Asean members should address on humanitarian grounds, former Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) secretary-general Surin Pitsuwan said yesterday.
At the root of the problem is the fact that Myanmar's constitution and internal laws do not recognise the Rohingya as citizens, he said. Other groups in Myanmar don't accept the Rohingya, who are based mainly in Rakhine and number about 800,000 in all, he said, adding: "This has to be dealt with gradually, as Myanmar authorities are worried about intervention from the outside world."
"The United Nations has been working on the Rohingya issue, but has to be careful in dealing with it, and Asean needs to address it, especially on humanitarian grounds," he said.
Surin was speaking at a school in Nakhon Si Thammarat run and sponsored by the Pitsuwan family. HRH Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn made a private visit to the Ban Tal pondok school. Surin said the princess had sponsored 14 such schools in the south, including those located in the upper part of the region, where subjects were taught in Thai.
Meanwhile, another 145 Rohingya aboard a Malaysia-bound boat entered Thai waters off the Trang coast yesterday, before they were provided with fresh water and supplies and had their vessel towed out of Thai waters. Two of them are women and there were two children on board.
Marine Police said no arrests were made, because of insufficient shelter that would be needed to house them afterwards. The food supplies provided by the Red Cross included canned fish, omelettes and medical assistance were not provided despite many of them being exhausted and starving, after their fresh water and supplies run out two days ago.
Reporters complained about not being allowed to follow a police boat to cover the provision of supplies. Marine Police claimed that their presence would cause panic among the Rohingya.

(photo credit:MARC ISRAEL SELLEM/THE JERUSALEM POST)
I grew up in the Bnei Akiva movement. As a student and young man in the UK in the 1960s and 1970s, there was probably no other single organization which had a greater formative influence on my early life than this particular Zionist youth movement.Following high school, I spent a year on the Bnei Akiva hachshara on Kibbutz Lavi, and subsequently a period of time studying at a Bnei Akiva-affiliated yeshiva before returning to the UK to complete my university studies. While at university my social life centered around the activities of the movement much more so than on the social life of my fellow students. I was very close to making aliya with a group of my contemporaries who came to Israel from their middle class UK backgrounds and established a new kibbutz, Bet Rimon, in the Lower Galilee.At the time this was considered a major act of pioneering on their part as they sought to establish a new community on the top of an isolated mountain in the Lower Galilee – an act which was far removed from their upbringing and the aspirations and desires of their parents for their futures. But it was the movement that had the most powerful influence on their life choices, as it has had for countless other young men and women throughout the past 60 years – both in Israel and the Diaspora.At the last moment, I chose to remain behind for an extra few years in the UK and to pursue an independent academic career. But this never once affected or challenged the desire to live in Israel, a desire which had been inculcated in me by the youth movement affiliations, aspirations which I fulfilled the moment my studies were completed.I have therefore always been slightly reticent about being overtly critical of the movement and its right-wing political beliefs, although my own positions have diverged so significantly from those of the Bnei Akiva movement during the past 30 years that in many respects they are almost diametrically opposed. But beyond its territorial and settlement politics, the Bnei Akiva movement has remained at the center of social volunteerism in Israel, has contributed to the dialogue between secular and religious Israel, and continues to play a major role in the creation of links between Israel and the Diaspora, values with which I have no problem identifying.But for everyone there is a red line. A transgression of accepted norms about which it is impossible to remain silent.This point of no return was reached last week with the disgusting and inflammatory comments of the secretary- general of World Bnei Akiva, Rabbi Noam Perel, in his call for Israel to actively avenge the brutal murder of the three Jewish teenagers by terrorists. He called for the Israeli government to take revenge "through blood instead of tears" and left no one in doubt, in the messages which he posted on Facebook in his official capacity, that he believed in the concept of collective guilt on the part of all Palestinians and that this should be translated into actions, not just words.No amount of half-hearted backtracking from these statements is sufficient. The lame excuse that he was using biblical language and metaphor, which secular Israel does not understand, is unacceptable. This is a similar argument to that used by the late Rabbi Ovadiah Yosef on more than one occasion when his remarks about politics, government and secular Israel were inflammatory and critical of society.No religious leader, and Perel is an ordained rabbi and former principal of a religious high school, can hide behind claims that their language can only be properly understood by the few, when in effect it impacts thousands of impressionable teenagers and young adults who look up to these leaders for advice and seek ways in which to negotiate a complex and threatening world.No one is accusing Perl of being directly responsible for the unspeakable act of revenge which was carried out on an Arab teenager last week by extremist right-wing elements in the wake of the brutal murder of three Jewish teenagers (all of them probably members of the Bnei Akiva movement), but the two are related. There are enough right-wing followers of the movement who will see Perel's words as legitimizing the sort of actions which took place, actions which have no place in a Jewish or a democratic state and definitely not in a state which seeks to combine the best of the two concepts.Anyone who occupies a position of leadership and trust among the right-wing youth has an added responsibility to choose his words and his messages with the utmost care – and if, as in this case, he fails in his public utterances, there is no alternative but for him to step down and resign his position of influence.The silence of the other leaders is equally worrying. Where is Rabbi Haim Druckman, the revered spiritual head of the Bnei Akiva movement for the past three decades? Where is Avraham Duvdevani, the current head of the World Zionist Organization, who was himself head of the World Bnei Akiva movement for many years ? If they wish Bnei Akiva to retain its legitimacy, they must act quickly to make it clear that Perel went too far and must resign immediately.The message sent out by the lay leader of the world movement, Mr. Daniel Goldman, calling for moderation and tolerance, was a step in the right direction, but was far too vague and limited given the enormity of what was written on Perel's Facebook page.Despite my own changing political positions over the years, I have never been embarrassed to identify the impact of Bnei Akiva on my own personal life. But today I am ashamed of my affiliation with a movement whose leader has made utterances which are in direct contrast to the basic values of humanity and tolerance, and which are neither Jewish nor democratic.The fact that the other side does not act according to the same ground rules does not legitimize me, or the society to which I belong, acting in the same way. My utterances do not have to match those of the leaders of the Hamas or the jihad movement in their hate of Israel. By using the language of violence and revenge as a teaching for those who look up to us for guidance we are admitting defeat. It is only by maintaining other principles and morals that we demonstrate our strength.Perel must understand that his remarks have brought the values of the Jewish state, and the movement that he heads, into disgrace and he must accept the personal consequences of these ill-thought remarks and step down immediately.The writer is dean of the faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev.

The Yankees are looking for a DH to help round out their roster, but according to Mark Hale they aren't interested in Jim Thome's services. Thome has always been a little bit of a white whale for me, as his pull-side power profiles beautifully for the short porch at Yankee Stadium, but that ship has probably sailed due to age. Injuries limited Thome to 58 games between Philadelphia and Baltimore last season, and Thome hit just .257/.348/.396 for the Orioles. He'll be 42 this season, assuming he doesn't retire, so I can't say I blame the Yankees for passing on him, even if I am disappointed that he never got to play in pinstripes.
Yankees to Boras: Thanks but no thanks
So this is interesting news about Rafael Soriano. Bob Klapisch just tweeted:
Told Scott Boras asked #Yankees last month if they'd consider taking Rafael Soriano back on a 1-yr deal. Request flatly denied.
That tweet was followed by one from Buster Olney:
The Yankees want the draft pick/draft dollars they'll get when Soriano signs elsewhere more than they want him back, no matter the contract.
It's interesting to me that Scott Boras asked the Yankees if they would consider a one-year deal for Soriano because I take that to mean that Soriano really liked his time in Pinstripes and/or that he hasn't gotten any good offers from anyone else. I'm leaning towards the latter. I guess opting out hasn't worked out the way he thought it would.
Earlier in the offseason, the Tigers were a possible destination for Soriano but since then, things have been pretty quiet. So where do you think he'll end up now that the Yanks have told him "Thanks but no thanks?"
Changing the Hall of Fame Voting Process
We'll get the latest Hall of Fame results from the BBWAA this week. We're all preparing to be disappointed. How disappointed? We're not sure yet, but the range could be anywhere from mild shock that your borderline PED user HOF candidate like Rafael Palmeiro gets snubbed to, as Jon Heyman speculated in a...
Sosa is a marginal Hall candidate
When we devoted an entire episode of On the Money to talking about the Hall of Fame, I mentioned late in the show that I regarded Sammy Sosa as a borderline candidate, and that I'd be unlikely to support him over Kenny Lofton or Larry Walker if only allowed to vote for 10 candidates. That got a little bit of push back, both from Mike Bates at the time and others since, so allow me to expound upon my case against Sosa.
First of all, it should be noted that Sosa' overall body of work makes him a borderline case, statistically, to begin with. Even with the prodigious home run totals and the fact that he was a much better defender than most people probably remember, Sosa finished his career with a total fWAR of "just" 64.1, good for 120th all-time amongst position players, and wedging Sosa directly in between Norm Cash and Bill Dickey on the all-time leaderboard. I'm not saying that WAR should be the end all be all of the discussion, or even a vital part of it, but as far as starting points go, that's pretty damning for a guy in the 600 home run club.…
Sickels' top Yankees' prospects
It doesn't get the same amount of attention that the lists put out by Baseball America or Baseball Prospectus do, but John Sickels' annual prospect rankings may well be the most unique of all of the prospect rankings that come out annually. That's because, in addition to his own unique perspective and preferences on prospects, Sickels assigns a traditional letter grade to prospects, adding an additional level of depth and context above a simple stacked list of players. He put his list of the Yankees' top twenty prospects out back before Christmas and, as always, it's worth a once-over if you're into the prospecting thing. The top of his list is fairly non-controversial, but there's some interesting selections in the 8-15 range.
Oh yeah, I almost forgot: Sickels will be joining Stacey and I on On the Money tonight to talk about his rankings, as will our own minor league editor Tamar Chalker. The show goes live at 9:00 P.M. EST, and can be listened to here.…
Countdown to Spring Training: 36
Welcome to a new feature I'm going to be running here at TYA. As we count down to Spring Training, I'm gong to be taking that day's number and relate it to something significant in Yankee history. For today, with 36 days left until Spring Training begins, I'm going to take a look at the...
Steroid hysteria is really not good for Cooperstown
While, as always, I respect his opinion and the amount of thought and genuine care he puts into these things, I think Ken Rosenthal badly misses the mark in his latest column on the Hall of Fame. Rosenthal's main premise is that it won't be a big deal if no one gets elected to the Hall of Fame this year, that above all else, the "debate" is good for the Hall, and that no major changes to the voting process are needed. I'll take each in turn.
As far as no one getting elected goes, I think Rosenthal is really missing the forest for the trees in his analysis. Sure, in theory, not electing anyone shouldn't be a big deal, but in a very tangible sense, the Hall of Fame is bleeding money, and induction weekend is a vital part of keeping the institution afloat. They might not share it with the writers, but I'd bet dollars to dimes that when no one is looking, the people responsible for running the place aren't the slightest bit happy about the possibility of a weekend featuring no one but long dead and mostly forgotten inductees from the pre-integration era, especially not with the huge potential afforded by this stacked ballot.…
Ronnier Mustelier: The Forgotten Right-Handed Outfield
In all the talk about a right-handed outfielder, much is mentioned about Matt Diaz, Melky Mesa, Russ Canzler, and even Zoilo Almonte. One name goes overlooked in the organization, not because he hasn't performed, but because of his age. The 28-year old Cuban outfielder, Ronnier...
Yankees unlikely to re-sign Soriano
With Rafael Soriano languishing on the free agent market as teams blanch at the prospect of giving up a draft pick (or, more accurate, the signing pool money associated with that pick), there's been an undertone in the rumor mill that his most likely landing spot for the 2013 would be back in the Bronx. I'm a little bit skeptical of that, both because I think the Yankees will be happy to wait out the market and see what pick they'll get as compensation when Soriano inevitably signs a deal somewhere, and (more notably) because the Yankees don't really have an opening in the bullpen with Mariano Rivera and Joba Chamberlain both healthy. That's a sentiment apparently shared by Brian Cashman as well. "I cannot talk about players on the free-agent market," Cashman said. "But I am not looking for bullpen help, I can tell you that."
And before you throw out the surprise signing of Soriano back in 2011, remember that the Yankees didn't have an elite set up man like David Robertson at the time, and at the beginning of the season Robertson was merely a nondescript middle reliever who got most of his action warming up in the bullpen.…

icad inc (ICAD) Key Developments
iCAD, Inc. announced the commercial availability of a new cervical applicator for the Xoft Axxent Electronic Brachytherapy System. The applicator and multi-platform controller will be showcased in the iCAD/Xoft booth (#1239) at the American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) annual meeting from July 12-16, 2015 in Anaheim, CA. Data from several studies involving use of surface HDR electronic brachytherapy is also being presented in multiple poster and oral presentations throughout the meeting. The cervical applicator, Xoft's first multi-channel applicator, is used to deliver a precise dose of radiation to larger target areas of the cervix while minimizing exposure to healthy tissue. The addition of the cervical applicator completes Xoft's gynecological product line, allowing radiation oncologists to treat all gynecological indications with the Xoft System.
iCAD, Inc. announced the launch of the iReveal® breast density module as the latest addition to the Company's PowerLook Advanced Mammography Platform (AMP)®. The iReveal software is designed to deliver automated, rapid and reproducible assessments of breast density to help identify patients that may experience reduced sensitivity to digital mammography due to dense breast tissue. iReveal uses an advanced software program to assess breast density based on the range of categories established by the American College of Radiology's Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS®), automating the same analytical approach used by many experienced radiologists. In many cases, patients with dense breast tissue may be recommended for additional screening exams including use of breast tomosynthesis.
iCAD, Inc. announced that it is withdrawing its full year 2015 financial guidance due to general uncertainty related to reimbursement for non-melanoma skin cancer in the United States. The company's guidance was based on the assumption that there would be no changes to the reimbursement environment for fiscal 2015. The company is proactively working to gain clarity on the issue and will provide an update on reimbursement when appropriate.

The number of Americans relying exclusively on reception of over-the-air signals to watch TV increased by 8 million over the past year to 54 million, according to a report released this week by GfK Media.
The report, "The 2012 Ownership Survey and Trend Report," which is part of The Home Technology Monitor research series, also found broadcast-only households tend to consist of younger adults, minorities and lower-income families. In all, 17.8 percent of U.S. households rely only on OTA signals for TV. Last year, the figure stood at 15 percent.
"As we've seen for the past few years, over-the-air households continue to make up a sizable portion of the television viewing landscape," said David Tice, senior VP, GfK Media. "Our research reveals that over-the-air broadcasting remains an important distribution platform of TV programming, and that in the past year the estimated number of broadcast-only TV households in the U.S. has grown significantly over what we've seen at least back to 2008."
According to the research, a small but growing number of homes have cancelled pay-TV service at their current home. The 2012 study found 6 percent of TV households, some 6.9 million TV households, eliminated pay-TV service in their current home at some point in the past and now rely only on over-the-air reception rather than pay-TV service. Four percent of TV households had eliminated pay-TV service at some point in the past, according to the 2011 study.
Some minority groups are more dependent on broadcast reception than the general population, the survey found. The breakdown by minority group of OTA exclusive reception revealed:
• 28 percent of Asian households only received over-the-air television (up from 25 percent in 2011);
• 23 percent of African-American households (up from 17 percent in 2011);
• 26 percent of Latino homes (up from 23 percent in 2011);
• 33 percent among homes in which Spanish is the language of choice (up from 27 percent in 2011).
In all, minorities make up 44 percent of all broadcast-only homes, a four-point increase from 2011, according to the research.
Household headed by younger adults are also more likely to watch OTA exclusively at home. Twenty-four percent of homes (20 percent in 2011) with a head of household age 18-34 are broadcast only, compared to 17 percent of homes in which the head of household is age 35-49, or 15 percent of homes in which the head of household is 50 years of age or older.
Lower-income households also trend towards broadcast-only television, with 26 percent of homes with an annual income of less than $30,000 receiving TV signals solely over-the-air. That compares to 11 percent of homes with incomes $75,000 or greater rely exclusively on broadcast signals.

An oil tanker chief engineer was sentenced to 18 months' jail after he was found guilty of siphoning 200 metric tonnes of marine fuel oil worth US$125,400 (RM405,719).
But Greek national Pittis Stavros (pic), 58, is appealing. Bail of S$120,000 (RM310,402) has been offered pending his appeal, and he was scheduled to leave for home yesterday morning.
Stavros – a chief engineer of the MV Sakura Princess which was chartered by V8 Pool Inc – was found guilty last week of criminal breach of trust.
On Jan 10 last year, bunker company Constank had been nominated to supply 1,800 metric tonnes of marine fuel oil to Sakura Princess, the prosecution said.
A bunker clerk on board the Coastal Saturn was deployed to supply the vessel with 500 metric tonnes of oil, as the vessel claimed it needed fuel urgently.
Stavros struck a deal with an independent surveyor and the bunker clerk to shortchange his vessel of 200 tonnes of fuel.
More than 42 million tonnes of marine fuel was sold here last year, making Singapore the world's top bunkering port. — The Straits Times/ Asia News Network

From the picture I thought this was a 2-piece ornament; a small glass ball with a square hanging from the bottom. In fact it is only one piece, a really large glass ball. It's pretty, but not what I thought it would be.

Dear Santa I've Been So Good Christmas Ornament
Personalized Christmas Ornament
The front of this ornament has Santa's legs and famous black boots hanging down with the words DEAR SANTA in white and on the back of this lime green glass ball are the words I'VE BEEN SO GOOD written in white. A fun personalized holiday ornament for the child or adult who firmly believes that they belong on Santa's Nice List and not the Naughty List. It matters not whether they have to beg and plead to make the cut, either! Or as a fun joke for the season goes: Christmas is canceled this year because I told Santa you were good and he died laughing!
Material: Glass Ball
Ornaments shown on our site are personalized, as examples only, so you can see where we put the words/names you give us. Some ornaments allow you to select hair or uniform color. If there is no color choice, it is not available on that particular ornament. We will do everything possible to catch any mistakes in spelling, etc., but are not responsible if we do as you request, and it is then not correct. The ornament you see above is the way it will look when you get it, except for the personalizing instructions you give us and any optional attributes you select.

These rich, moist cupcakes, topped with frosting and chocolate, are delicious mini replicas of the black forest cake seen in Portal. You'll be in heaven but "still alive" after eating one.
Step 1: Supplies
-Chocolate Pudding Cake Ingredients
- 1 box chocolate cake mix (or devil's food)
- 1 box instant chocolate pudding mix
- 1 cup sour cream
- 4 large eggs
- ½ cup water
- ½ cup vegetable oil
-Parchment paper
-Chocolate frosting - about 2½ cups
-Chocolate - one ounce covers 6-8 cupcakes
-White frosting - about ½ cup
-Cherry Jelly Beans - 3 per cake (can substitute Red Hot cinnamon candies)
-Plain white birthday candles
*Yes, technically the cake in Portal is a black forest cake and should, therefore, contain cherry filling. But these are so small and tall that they are difficult to hold together in layers which is why I kept them whole. Layers are possible with the liberal use of toothpicks. If you want more cherry flavor, I suggest adding 2 teaspoons cherry extract to the batter.
**I used cleaned 5oz evaporated milk cans which are 2.5" in diameter and 2.5" tall. You must use a can opener that removes the lids from the sides rather than one that cuts metal disks out of the recessed top or you will have trouble removing the cakes from these tins. You can use any small cans that are not lined and that, preferably, aren't made of a ripple textured metal.
Step 2: Pan Preparation
Cut one extra round disk for later use and set it aside.
Then cut strips of parchment that will fill the sides of the can, as shown. Once you've cut your pieces, add the lining paper.
Step 3: Baking the Cakes
In a large bowl, combine the cake mix and pudding mix. Add the eggs, sour cream, water, and oil. Beat on low until the liquid is incorporated. Then increase the speed to medium and beat 2-3 minutes, scraping down the sides periodically.
Fill each tin HALF full with batter and place tins on a cookie sheet or in a baking pan. Bake about 25 minutes, until a toothpick pricked through the center comes out clean.
You want each cake to be level on the top. If your cupcakes are not level, use this quick tip: While the cupcakes are still hot, place a fresh, clean towel right on top of the cupcake. Being careful to use a hot pad to prevent burning yourself, press down against this surface, compressing any bulges until the cake is level.
Allow the tins to cool a few minutes before carefully removing them from the pans. They will be covered in parchment paper. Remove this after a few minutes but DO NOT remove the round disk of paper on the bottom of each cake. These cakes are much easier to handle and transfer if you leave on this piece of parchment. Finish cooling on a wire rack.
Step 4: Frosting
Grate your chocolate. One ounce covers about 6-8 cupcakes. Try to keep this chocolate cold. Place the chocolate in on a plate or wide, shallow bowl or pan.
Make your chocolate frosting, if you are using a homemade version.
Frost the top and sides of your cake carefully. I find it works best if you frost from the top down. Then, before the frosting sets, hold the frosted cake over the grated chocolate by placing the bottom on your hand or a spatula. Spoon grated chocolate over it the cake. Then place your spare parchment paper disk on the top (to prevent you from touching the grated chocolate and getting it all over your hands) and quickly turn the cake onto its side into the loose grated chocolate. Spoon chocolate over the sides until they are covered, turning the cake slightly if needed. Use your parchment disk again to help you pick up your cake and place it onto a clean plate or platter.
I placed each cupcake onto it's own demitasse saucer from which they could be presented to guests.
Step 5: Decorating
Load a small piping bag with white icing. Use a small tip or simply cut the tip off the piping bag. Add the white icing around the cherries and candle, To do this, simply pipe a puffed "blob" of frosting about half an inch across. Make the white icing blobs fairly tall, as they will need to disguise the cut ends of the jelly beans. Pipe one of these in the center and six around the edges as shown. For authenticity, these cakes should have 8 cherries but, with the size of the jelly beans and the cupcake, 8 cherries covers too much of the tops.
Finally, press a plain white birthday candle into the center!
