Expanding your business by franchising can be a lucrative business if done right. Most people have questions about how much the cost is to franchise your business.
This article will cover the details on the cost to franchise.
There are a few terms that you should be familiar with to understand franchising.
Franchisor – This would be you, you would be the home office.
Franchisee – This is the person that buys your franchise
Franchise Fee – This one time up front fee is the fee that a franchisee pays to the franchisor (you) for the right to own the franchise and for the help to get started. Typical franchise fees range from $25k to $40k.
Franchise Royalty – This is an ongoing fee that the franchisee pays to you (franchisor) each week or each month. This fee is usually a percentage of the gross revenue and ranges from 6-10% of the gross revenue. In return for this fee you would provide ongoing support to the franchisee.
The cost to franchise a business will vary slightly depending on how much work needs to be done, what industry and what state you are in.
There are a few different fees involved with franchising your business.
1. The up front fee, this fee covers all of the initial setup of legal documents, disclosure documents, contracts, operations manual, sales plan & marketing plan. This one time up front fee ranges from $27k to $35k.
2. Performance based selling program, this is where we help you sell franchises of your business and are paid a fee when a franchisee buys. We collect 30-40% of the franchise fee and you retain the other 60-70%.
3. Ongoing royalties, we collect a 2% royalty fee for 5 years on each unit that is sold. So if your royalty is 8%, you would get 6% and we would get 2% for 5 years on each unit, after that unit has been open for 5 years you would get all 8%.
These fees allow us to provide all of the up front and ongoing legal, marketing & sales support to help you sell a lot of franchises.
Interested in having us evaluate your business for free to see if it qualifies for expansion through franchising?

Tony Wright was tired, and with good reason. He'd been awake for 11 days, two hours -- a world record.
"I tend to feel better in my body when I've been awake 4, 5, 6 days," he said.
Wright, a 43-year-old gardener from Cornwall, England, thinks sleep deprivation might open a world of enhanced brain function. Most sleep researchers strongly disagree.
Try sailing round the world on your own, and you'll suffer from sleep deprivation.
"I was so tired," said Ellen MacArthur, who broke the world record for the fastest solo circumnavigation of the globe in 2005. "Oh, God, it was just too much."
Doctors also suffer from sleep deprivation. "I was so tired I prescribed 20 times the right dose," one doctor said.
In our own very small way, even journalists suffer. Covering the tsunami, the combination of what we witnessed and a heavy workload kept us awake for days. This reporter looked and sounded drunk while doing a live shot from Banda Aceh.
"Researchers have compared the effects of alcohol intoxication to the effects of sleep deprivation," said professor Derk-Jan Dijk of the University of Surrey's Sleep Research Center.
But when you get right down to it, we don't know exactly how or why sleep revives us. What we can spend nearly one third of our lives doing, we know very little about.
"Sleep has been ignored by part of the scientific community and part of the medical community," said Dijk. "It's so much easier to study wakefulness."
At the University of Surrey's Sleep Research Center, they're trying to make up for lost time by analyzing the brain waves of sleeping volunteers like me.
They wired me up one morning at the center. I thought I'd had a good night's sleep and I drank four cups of coffee with breakfast, but within minutes, I fell asleep. Like many people, I'm sleep deprived without even knowing it. And sleep deprivation has a profound effect on how you function.
"You will find it very difficult to concentrate," said Dijk. "You will find it difficult to pay attention. You might find it difficult to speak and to construct sentences that make sense. Logical reasoning will certainly be affected."
Researchers at the university test brain function with psychometric tasks, such as identifying colors. They've discovered that a gene called "period 3" might be crucial. People with a short version of the gene did well picking yellow or green in the early hours. But 10 percent of humans have a long version: They struggled with the test and even struggled to stay awake.
After just 24 hours without sleep, everyone suffered mental impairment equivalent to being too drunk to drive a car, and researchers thought it unethical to push their human guinea pigs any further.
"It's clear that in animals sleep deprivation will ultimately lead to death," said Dijk. "If you keep rats awake for several weeks they will die."
Die of what?
"That is something that is not entirely clear," said Dijk.
Tony Wright has pushed it as far as any human we know of; he thinks his secret might be the raw food diet he's followed for 16 years.
"It was 1995," Wright recalled. "I decided I'd stay awake and see what happens."
At his first attempt Tony managed a weekend, 80 hours.

One student said this to me some years ago, when I was teaching
"Postcolonial Women Writers," and her words set me thinking about
what we face when we read any text, but especially texts that speak
to or issue from contexts unfamiliar to us. I wrote the paragraphs
that follow, largely from my own struggles as a reader.
What makes us good readers? Wide-ranging knowledge of the culture and history of the country from which the books emerge--this can be acquired by book learning; a range of life experiences is useful; careful and insightful reading; self awareness. Taken together these ingredients offer good defenses against the readers' vices of ignorance and insensitivity. At the same time we must realize that as people, as readers, we never complete our learning or our life experience. And so we must be avoid a false sense of security, and insupportable authoritative claim to certitude and finality that our analyses cannot have. As Renato Rosaldo says, "All interpretations are provisional; they are made by positioned subjects who are prepared to know certain things and not others. Even when knowledgeable, sensitive, fluent in the language, and able to move easily in an alien cultural world, good [readers] have their limits, and their analyses always are incomplete" ("Grief and a Headhunter's Rage," 8). In other words, any understanding we--I as well as you--have of the texts we read is partial, limited, and changeable, for our interpretations are rooted in our experiences (as people who are readers) and in what the words say to us. Expertise can only be gained by hard work and authenticity is irrelevant to interpretation.
There are some stances we can adopt usefully. We must be careful not to attribute recklessly our own categories and experiences to members of another culture. That is, we must avoid facile notions of universal human nature. At the same time, however, we cannot assume that apart from our group, everything human is alien to us. "One hopes to achieve a balance between recognizing wide-ranging human differences and the modest truism that any two human groups must have certain things in common" (Rosaldo, 5).
Our task as readers is to understand the texts' renderings of love, marriage, family life, motherhood, childhood, ambition, etc., as emerging within a field of social relations. We must understand the subject's --the author's, narrator's, character's, readers'--position as taking its meaning within this field. Our aim is also to understand our activities as those of positioned (and repositioned) subjects. We might begin with a set of questions, revise them as we proceed on our readings, and in the end emerge with a different set of questions from what we started with.
Send me your responses to what I've posted, and we can get a discussion going.

"This creamy mushroom sauce is great over angel hair pasta!"

3 tablespoons
1/2 cup
chopped onion
2 cloves
garlic, minced
4 ounces
fresh mushrooms, sliced
1/2 teaspoon
dried basil
1/4 teaspoon
1/8 teaspoon
ground black pepper
1/4 cup
all-purpose flour
2 cups
I made this recipe and loved it! The flavor is great!
I tried it over steak and with angel hair pasta, it was wonderful both ways.
This has quickly become my favorite mushroom sauce
I agree with those of the reviewers that found the sauce a bit bland - however, I added the recommended garlic powder, some seasoning salt, about a tbsp of soy sauce and the taste was dramatically improved. I served the gravy over buttermilk biscuits for a vegetarian version of the classic sausage gravy and biscuits breakfast and my boyfriend loved it.
41 Ratings
i liked this recipe. I used fat free half and half instead of milk and I added some majoram and season salt (initially instead of regular salt). I tasted it as it was simmering and noted that it did taste "floury" as another user stated so I added some kosher salt in addition and it turned out great! I put it on steak and it was really good - I wouldn't recommend it for anything like pasta it is too "gravyish" for that.
Tastes like flour.
Really nice basic recipe, and easy to go with so many things. As written, and as other reviewers noted, it was too bland. I added extra pepper and garlic and basil, as well as more mushrooms than called for because we like it chunky. :) Served it over skirt steaks and oven fries, and was a hit.
Okay,after reading the little reviews that this recipe received,I was hesitant about making it.But,I decided to give it a go,following the recipe and adding more garlic salt for flavor.I even added another clove of chopped garlic,but unfortunately it didn't help.It was thick and pasty and would have been good over chicken fried steak? instead of linguine like I served it.I don't think I'll be making this again...sorry!
So easy to make!!I made this sauce tonight for over meatloaf and boiled potatoes. It was really good, except I felt that the basil flavour was a little too strong, I think I will cut it in half next time. My husband loved the sauce. I also made one modification, substituting beef stock for the milk. Thanks!
This recipe was pretty bland. It's a homemade version of cream of mushroom soup

Haskell for Programmers
NOTE: Haskell for Programmers is a three day workshop: September 23-25, 2013, 8:30am-4:30pm.
Haskell is quickly becoming the go-to language for high-performance and mission critical software. Yet for programmers who are experienced with traditional, imperative programming languages, Haskell's way of doing things can seem counter intuitive and difficult to understand. But learning Haskell doesn't have to be hard!
This 3-day workshop moves rapidly through the basics and digs deeply into seemingly complex topics such as monads and working with mutable state. The primary focus of this workshop is on real world software development with the occasional discussion of theory.
You'll write and optimize software using popular Haskell tools and packages such as Cabal, cabal-dev, HLint, ByteString, and Attoparsec. After the workshop you'll be ready to write efficient Haskell code for real world production use.
Why Haskell?
Simple. Haskell is leading the way in compiler technologies for generating efficient and safe applications without placing unnecessary burdens on the programmer. By leveraging the Haskell type system the safety of code can be enforced, meaning bugs must be dealt with by the programmer instead of being passed silently on to users. While Haskell can't ensure that all bugs have been squashed, it gets a lot closer than most mainstream languages.
Want to know more? This might help.
What's Included?
- Catered lunch each day
- Access to all code used during the workshop
- Digital copy of all class materials
- 1 hour of support after workshop completion
- Prior professional experience programming with an imperative laguage such as C, C++, Java, Ruby, Python, C#, etc.
- A laptop or the willingness to lug around a desktop computer. A unix-like operating system (e.g. Linux, Mac OS X) is highly recommended but not necessary.
EVENT: Haskell for Programmers Workshop
DATE: September 23, 2013 - Monday
TIME: 08:30am-04:30am
WEBSITE: http://www.davinciinstitute.com/events/658/haskell-for-programmers-workshop-monday-september-16-2013

TOPIC: Haskell for Programmers
SPEAKER: Peter Jones
INSTRUCTOR: Peter Jones
Senior Instructor, Author, and Founder of Devalot
Peter Jones is the senior instructor, author, and founder of Devalot.
He started programming before he learned how to use a keyboard properly by messing around with a Commodore 64, BASIC, and cassette tapes.
While in the United States Air Force, Peter taught himself C and automated most of his job. In the resulting free time he took instructor training classes and worked to promote the Quality Assurance Initiative.
Starting in the late 1990's, Peter became a passionate contributor to the open source community. As an active participant he has submitted bug fixes and new features to several projects and released many software packages as open source. Some of Peter's open source software has been used by organizations such as SAIC and NASA.
In 2006, Peter left upper management and became a freelance software developer and instructor for programming related workshops. He has written and taught several software development workshops, including an 11-week programming class for complete beginners.

Reese boards a last minute plane to Istanbul, hoping to leave New York and his recent past behind him, but the Machine has other ideas. Reese quickly realizes the Machine has intentionally placed him on this flight to ensure that Owen, a critical witness in a major international drug trafficking case, arrives safely at his destination. Stealing a WiFi-enabled cell phone to contact Finch, the pair discover that Owen is a person of interest who blurs the line between 'relevant' and 'irrelevant' - but everyone seems to want him dead. With some help from a friendly flight attendant, Reese manages to help Owen escape two cartel hit men and a burly ISA agent onboard before breaking into the cockpit and subduing the final assassin, with Finch taking control of the plane remotely to land it safely. The ordeal helps Reese realize that despite his issues with the Machine' way of doing things, there is no one better than him at this particular job.

so im sitting here knitting this wrap that i designed and its coming along great, just slow because of the cables. But I have over a foot done...1/8 of the way there!
|1218091846a_269711.jpg picture by empressorchid.jpeg
No wonder it is taking so long to accomplish - I am in awe of all the cables that pattern requires. Still, it is a lovely design and I look forward to seeing the finished piece. -- Books, knitting, cats, fountain pens...Life is Good.
It's going to be beautiful. On smaller width cables, do you ever do it without the cable needle? I find it saves time. You just have to make sure you knit loose enough for it.
Have a great end of the weekend knitting,

Restaurant reviews on TastyKhana are a great way to help other customers decide where to order from, what to order, and what to avoid. Here are some tips to writing great Restaurant reviews:
It's always better to review a restaurant service you have personally experienced. Hence, you can ONLY add a review once you have ordered from that restaurant.
Provide a relevant, unbiased overview of the restaurant. Readers are interested in the pros and the cons of the services provided by the restaurant. Make sure your review stands the test of time, and what you write today is relevant even after years.
Let your personality shine through, but it's equally important to provide facts to back up your opinion.
Nothing is worse than inaccurate information. If you're not really sure, research always helps.
Be creative but also remember to stay on topic. A catchy title will always get attention!
A quick edit and spell check will work wonders for your credibility. Also, break reviews into small, digestible paragraphs.
Customer reviews should be relevant to the restaurant in question. The restaurant review section on TastyKhana is for you to share your opinion on the restaurant, and for other customers to research better. TastyKhana reserves the right to remove reviews that include any of the following:
Irrelevant review (Review consisting of a combination of random characters, random words, repeated content, reviews on another restaurant.
Service feedback, including availability, order or payment related queries (Please use the Contact us form for the same.)

Grow Your Own Organic Food
The joys of gardening
Growing your own food can be a transformative experience. Whether you live in the city and only have room for a few window pots of herbs, or you live in the country where you can set up a backyard garden to provide nearly all your produce needs, growing your own food organically is worth a try. There are classes and myriad books that discuss gardening organically at all scales. We printed this article on growing your own organic food in the Spring 2010 issue of Pesticides and You. These are just a few of the very important things to consider before starting.
Getting started
Soil testing
Before you jump in head first, there are a few things you should consider about your soil and the products you use in your garden. If you are growing in your yard, you should take a soil test to assess both the nutrients of your soil as well as any potential contamination. Unfortunately, many urban soils especially have lead contamination, and before growing anything edible, it is paramount that you test this. If there is reason to be concerned (if your land was previously an apple orchard, or there was pressure-treated wood installed at the site), you may also want to have an arsenic screening. Most state extension agencies have soil testing services that are very affordable. Request the "organic" recommendations for fertility, and make sure you specify which contaminant tests you want, as lead and arsenic scans are not usually standard procedure.
Once you have received the results, you may choose to amend your soil for a better nutrient balance. This may include adding lime to adjust the pH, adding compost for organic matter and nutrients, or adding other amendments such as gypsum. Make sure the products you add are not potentially contaminated. For example, many municipalities make grass clippings and other such products available for consumers. These often contain pesticide residues that can contaminate your garden. Bagged mulch may also be contaminated—try using your own grass clippings if you want mulch. If you purchase compost, make sure you know the source and the inputs, and if possible find out if it is from a certified organic producer (the national organic standards regulate the production of compost used on organic farms). Remember that you can also add fertility to your soil by making your own compost.
Don't be intimidated by these steps, but do be cautious that the soil and products you use to grow your food are indeed healthy.

Originally born in Iceland, Mrs. Perkins was raised in the United States, primarily all along the east coast. It wasn't until she reached her teen years that her family moved back to Iceland, where she was confronted with a new language and social customs. However, overcoming such difficulties proved achievable, and resulted in her at one point being described as transatlantic, both in speech and mannerism, traits which, if you look closely, are still evident.
Mrs. Perkins is an avid reader and has a great love of books. She attended the University of Iceland for both her Bachelor's and Master's degree in English Literature and while there held various lectures. The most notable being on Oscar Wilde and Man's pursuit of Eternal Youth for the Humanities Symposium at the University of Iceland in 2006 and, on Holocaust Literature at the Vigdis Finnbogadottir Institute of Foreign Languages in 2008. Her studies also reflected her innate love of the performing arts as they were often centered on adaptations of literary works to other forms of expression.
Having always been surrounded by music, Mrs. Perkins avidly studied the violin, danced ballet and sung in school choirs at a young age. Therefore, it seemed a matter of course that she would eventually discover the joy of opera as a young adult. Even so, her musical interests are very nearly all inclusive. This innate love of music eventually lead her to employment at the Iceland Symphony Orchestra, where she was fortunate enough to meet and work amongst prominent conductors and performers, in addition to many revered professionals from eminent recording companies, such as Naxos.
She is widely travelled and speaks and/or reads several languages. After relocating to the United States in 2009, she eventually settled down in Chattanooga with her family in 2010. She recently joined us here at UTC as an Administrative Support Assistant. When she is not working or indulging in her numerous hobbies, she can often be found spending quality time with her husband and son.

Rule 5 draft results: Fields, Rondon, Rosenbaum, Pressly, McGuinness are top picks
Dec 6, 2012, 10:30 AM EDT
I wrote a little something about the Astros selecting right-hander Josh Fields from the Red Sox with the first pick in the Rule 5 draft and here are all the picks:
1. Astros – Josh Fields, RHP (Red Sox)
2. Cubs – Hector Rondon, RHP (Indians)
3. Rockies – Daniel Rosenbaum, LHP (Nationals)
4. Twins – Ryan Pressley, RHP (Red Sox)
5. Indians – Chris McGuinness, 1B (Rangers)
6. Marlins – Alfredo Silverio, OF (Dodgers)
7. Red Sox – Jeff Kobernus, 2B (Nationals)
10. Mets – Kyle Lobstein, RHP (Rays)
14. Diamondbacks – Starling Peralta, RHP (Cubs)
15. Phillies – Ender Inciarte, OF (Diamondbacks)
17. White Sox – Angel Sanchez, SS (Angels)
23. Orioles – T.J. McFarland, RHP (Indians)
24. Rangers – Coty Woods, RHP (Rockies)
31. Astros – Nate Freiman, 1B (Padres)
36. Marlins – Brauilo Lara, LHP (Rays)
So the Astros and Marlins are the only teams to pick two players and 17 of the 30 teams passed on selecting anyone. If you're looking for in-depth analysis on any of those guys besides Fields the place to go is Baseball America.
Any players selected must remain on the new team's 25-man roster for the entire season or be offered back to the original team for half of the $50,000 selection fee.
(Thanks to Zachary Levine of Baseball Prospectus for the Rule 5 sign photo.)
- phillytj - Dec 6, 2012 at 10:40 AM
So the Phils expect their pick to make the jump from A ball to the majors? Why waste $25k?
- pmcenroe - Dec 6, 2012 at 10:46 AM
No they will likely use ST to evaluate him. Then either send him back or swing a trade so they can keep him and send him down
- natstowngreg - Dec 6, 2012 at 10:57 AM
Yeah, that seems to be what most teams do. In today's baseball talent market, $25K is a pittance to pay for the chance to find the next Roberto Clemente, Johan Santana, or George Bell.
[Yes, Roberto Clemente was a Rule V pick. The Pirates took him from the Dodgers' organization in the 1954 draft.]
- paperlions - Dec 6, 2012 at 12:36 PM
Victorino and Hamilton were also Rule V guys….but since then the rules changed to add one more year of MiLB service time to the requirements to be Rule V eligible, which has really reduced the value of the draft.
- hermie13 - Dec 6, 2012 at 10:57 AM
TJ McFarland is a LHP.
- lessick - Dec 6, 2012 at 11:19 AM
Kyle Lobstein is also a LHP.
- kkolchak - Dec 6, 2012 at 11:04 AM
Nats "lose" two for the second straight season. They must be doing something right if other teams want so many players they didn't even protect.
- natstowngreg - Dec 6, 2012 at 1:46 PM
Think it was Earl Weaver who said, "deep depth." That's what the Na6ts have.
It would have been nice to keep Rosenbaum for organizational SP depth. Kobernus has an outside chance of starting for someone at 2B eventually; more likely, he will be a utility guy. The Nats' organization is stacked at 2B, so he's not that big a loss. Of course, either or both may return at some point.
Adam Kilgore said that Rizzo and Davey checked out of the hotel before the draft, because they had done what they wanted there. Filled a rotation hole and got a CF. Moves still need to be made, but they can be made later. Rizzo said that they didn't have room on the 40-man roster for a Rule V pick.
- sdelmonte - Dec 6, 2012 at 11:36 AM
FYI, Adam Rubin reports that Lobstein was acquired as part of a low level deal with the Tigers.
- historiophiliac - Dec 6, 2012 at 1:37 PM
Yes, I was going to point out that per the Tigers' twitter feed they took Lobstein & Kobernus, so they were wrongly omitted from the list of participants here.
- jwbiii - Dec 6, 2012 at 2:11 PM
They traded for them. The Mets drafted Lobstein from the Rays; the Tigers paid cash for him. The Red Sox drafted Kobernus from the Nationals; the Tigers traded Justin Henry for him. Justin Henry is kind of a AAA Brent Lillibridge. He'll be 28 in April.
- historiophiliac - Dec 6, 2012 at 2:22 PM
Ah, yes, a follow up tweet clarified.
- jwbiii - Dec 6, 2012 at 11:53 AM
Red Sox trade Jeff Kobernus to the Tigers. He made no sense as the Sox have some middle infielders who can't hit much. With the Tigers, he joins their mess at 2b and has a chance to make it.
- hk62 - Dec 6, 2012 at 1:55 PM
Kobernus wasn't the best 2B available in the Rule 5 either – but DET thinking Utility Man and likes his speed. OAK and SD had better 2B's available..
- 1972wasalongtimeago - Dec 6, 2012 at 4:37 PM
Daniel Rosenbaum? Definitely
Kyle Lobstein? Maybe
Josh Fields? Slightly less likely
Ender Inciarte? Not a chance.

Brewers endure all-around disappointment in ugly loss
JUN 18, 2013 11:19p ET
After Houston's 10-1 rout over Milwaukee on Tuesday -- the first meeting between the two teams since the Astros left the National League Central -- the Brewers sit at 28-41, while the Astros are now 27-45.
Milwaukee's starting pitching has been good over the last week, but Alfredo Figaro struggled Tuesday. The Brewers had chances early to jump out to a lead, but they squandered almost every opportunity.
It all added up to another disheartening loss.
"When we don't pitch well and we don't hit with people in scoring position, we are not a very good team," Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said.
With owner Mark Attanasio in attendance, the Brewers played one of their worst games of the season. The pitching gave up 10 runs, while the offense scored just one run on eight hits, and the defense committed three errors.
The Brewers were still in the game, despite squandering scoring opportunities in the third and fifth, until Carlos Pena blasted a three-run home run off Figaro to give the Astros a 5-1 lead.
"He was trying to come in to Pena and he left it out over the plate to him," Roenicke said. "He pitched him well the time before that and pitched him how he wanted to and got him out.
"Before the home run to Pena, he's 0-2 to Carter and misses right over the middle. That gave them first and second. Pena, you miss with pitches to him, he's a good mistake hitter like good hitters should be. We made a lot of mistakes."
Left-hander Tom Gorzelanny made a mistake that Astros third baseman Matt Dominguez hit for a grand slam in the seventh, busting the game open.
Both scoring chances the Brewers had early came with Aramis Ramirez at the plate. With the game tied at 1-all in the third inning, Ramirez struck out with the bases loaded and one out. In the fifth, Ramirez grounded out to end the inning with Carlos Gomez on second base.
"We have chances and we don't get people in," Roenicke said. "That ballgame is a lot different if we drive in the people that we have the opportunities to do."
Roenicke was asked if Ramirez's injured knee had anything to do with his slump, but Roenicke said only Ramirez can answer that.
"He's certainly not where he usually is," Roenicke said. "We need him right now to swing the bat well with Braunie being out. We are still getting guys on base at the top of that order. We need him to swing it well. (Lucroy) behind him, we need him to swing it well so we can drive in some people."
Though the Brewers put forth another lackluster effort Tuesday, Roenicke still sees a team giving its all on the field.
"No doubt about it," Roenicke said. "It's not from lack of these guys playing hard. It was a good ballgame until Pena hits the homer. Guys are still playing hard."

Feb. 23, 2007
STORRS, Conn. - The Holy Cross men's hockey team fell to Connecticut, 4-2, in Atlantic Hockey action on Friday night at the Mark Edward Freitas Ice Forum. With the loss, the Crusaders fall to 10-18-5 overall (9-13-5 AHA), while the Huskies improve to 14-17-2 overall (14-11-2 AHA). These two teams will meet each other again tomorrow night for Senior Night at the Hart Center in the final regular season game of the year.
The Crusaders scored the first goal of the game at the 15:51 mark of the first period while on the power play, when senior James Sixsmith (Alexandria, Va.) fired a shot from between the face off circles past UConn goalie Scott Tomes for his team-leading 16th goal of the season. For the period, each team had seven shots, while Holy Cross went 1-3 on the power play and UConn went 0-3.
The Huskies tied the game at 1-1 when Chris Ochoa scored a power goal at the 15:22 mark of the second period for his sixth goal of the season. The Crusaders had seven shots and went 0-2 on the man-advantage, while UConn had 12 shots and went 1-3.
UConn took a 2-1 lead at 4:31 into the third period when B.J. Crum blasted a slap shot into the net on the power play for his second goal of the year. A little less than two minutes later, the Huskies increased their lead to 3-1 when Jarrett Scarpaci scored his second goal of the season.
At the 12:16 mark, Holy Cross cut the deficit in half when junior Matt Werry (Regina, Saskatchewan) netted his fifth goal of the year.

So we've now reached a point where there is absolutely no reason for you not to be excited about the Grammys. This morning it was announced that Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band will be joining the already impressive performance line up, so even if the pop-stars billed to play at the awards show aren't really your thing, now you have something that is — because Bruce Springsteen is everyone's thing. With 20 of their own Grammys safely on the trophy shelf, we're guessing that The Boss and Band will play "We Take Care Of Our Own," the lead single off their new album, Wrecking Ball, but you never know, we could be in for a new surprise or even an old favorite.
Springsteen will join a cast of music's biggest names including Katy Perry, Adele, Coldplay and Rihanna (who will duet together), the Foo Fighters, Nicki Minaj, Taylor Swift, Kelly Clarkson, Bruno Mars and Jason Aldean.
The 54th Grammy Awards airs on February 12 on CBS at 8 p.m. ET/PT.

Rubiks Cube
Rubiks Cube is the light portable popular puzzle game
Challenge yourself to the Rubiks Cube!
For many children in today's society their time is spent with some type electric gadget in hand. Do you remember when your day was spent jumping rope, working a puzzle or at least doing something that was a bit challenging to the mind? Do you remember getting your first Rubiks Cube? This 3-D educational puzzle was one of the hottest items on the market for years. Originally this challenging puzzle was created in 1974 by Erno Rubik.
Rubik wanted to help give students a new way to look at and understand 3-D geometry. He would soon learn that his idea and creation of the Rubiks Cube would be a hit all around the world. It was not only children that were interested in this new mind boggling toy. The object of the Rubiks Cube is to have all blocks be the same color on each of the 9 blocked sides. A common cube measures 5.7 cm on each of its side which is approximately 2 ½ inches. The Rubiks Cube consists of 26 unique miniature cubes which are also referred to as cubelets or cubies. Each side includes a hidden inward extension that interlocks with each of the other cubes, while allowing them to be moved in different directions.
Solving the Rubiks Cube
The center cube of the 6 faces is normally a single square, in which all 6 are connected to the core of the Rubiks Cube. This provides the structure needed in order for the additional pieces to fit and rotate properly. In all there are 21 pieces: a single area piece consisting of 3 intersecting axes that holds the 6 center squares in place but allows them to rotate, and 21 smaller pieces that will fit into these in order to form the assembled puzzle. Each of the 6 center pieces pivots on a small fastener which is held by the center piece of the 3-D cross on the Rubiks Cube. A spring that is located between the fastener and the additional piece tensions the piece inward, allowing the puzzle to be small in size for easy transport, but can still be easily rotated. Many of the original cubes were built with screws that could be adjusted while newer ones are built with rivets that cannot be adjusted.
In order to solve the Rubiks Cube you will need reason and logic. Many individuals have solved the Rubiks Cube in a timely manner but only after spending countless hours of turning the cube in every direction imaginable. It has been proven that the Rubiks Cube may be solved in as little as twenty three stages but may take more depending on how well you have mastered the puzzle. There are many benefits to giving this 3-D puzzle as a gift to your children since it helps to teach patience and definitely requires them to think in order to beat the Rubiks Cube.
It's a toy that not only stimulates the brain but can keep them entertained for hours at a time. It will teach your child to approach things from a logical point of view and to think before they act. You can be half way through solving the Rubiks Cube and with just a move or two it can set you back all of the progress that you have made towards solving it. This puzzle is a great choice for long car rides, plane trips and even for doctor's visits. If you are looking for something unique to purchase for a young child consider the Rubiks Cube. You will be providing them with not only a fun toy but an educational one as well.

In case that photo op had you fooled, the Middle East "peace process' is nowhere, as this report explains:
Israelis and Palestinians said Wednesday that their envoys would meet with U.S. officials but not with each other, cementing the impression that a U.S.-sponsored meeting between their leaders had fallen flat.
Chief Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat said there would be no follow-up session with the Israelis because the two sides hadn't bridged the divides that have prevented them from resuming talks.
"It's not happening because we agreed to continue dealing with the Americans until we reach the agreement that will enable us to relaunch the negotiations," Erekat said.
The Palestinians refuse to restart talks until Israel freezes settlement construction in territories the Palestinians claim for a future state.
By elevating the issue of settlements, Obama only played into the Palestinians' natural inclination toward rejectionism and obstructionism. But let's be candid: the Palestinians are in no position to make a deal—or discuss a deal. What promise could they give about terrorism? What offer of recognition would they be empowered to make? All that has happened is that the naive and self-described "impatient" U.S. president has given the Palestinians a ready-made excuse not to show up.
Meanwhile, Sen. Joe Lieberman suggests that the president refocus:
The Obama administration needs to get tougher on Iran if it wants to broker peace in the Middle East, Sen. Joseph Lieberman (I-Conn.) said Wednesday.
The Senate Armed Services Committee member also reiterated his support for tough economic sanctions against Tehran, which he argued was the only way to show President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad that the United States was serious about nuclear non-proliferation.
"The original Obama administration position seemed to suggest the biggest obstacle to peace in the Middle East was the Israeli policy of building on territory [believed to be Palestinian]," Lieberman told MSNBC. "The real threat to peace in the Middle East is Iran."
"If you look at our policy, which is a global policy, to stop the Iranians from building nuclear weapons, everything we have done thus far has failed," Lieberman added, noting that he was preparing a bill that would levy new economic sanctions on the country. "I think the only way we're going to stop this development… is for us to make it clear to the Iranians that if they don't stop, they'll suffer."
Well, now that there's no peace being processed, perhaps the Obama team will take him up on his fine suggestion.

New Mexico Governor Susana Martinez vetoed the proposed "Breaking Bad" bill Friday.
HB 379 would have increased the state's film rebate to 30% for TV series shooting at least six episodes in New Mexico and would also carry forward up to $10 million in unused film tax credit funds for use in future years.
In a message to the state House, Martinez said, "I support the film industry as an important contributor to New Mexico's economy. But like many New Mexicans, I previously questioned the logic of an unlimited subsidy to a single industry at the expense of other worthy and competing investments the State must make, including classroom spending and health care for the most needy. That is why, in 2011, I signed into law a bi-partisan compromise that would cap the annual amount of taxpayer dollars paid out to reimburse Hollywood film productions. By doing so, we have been able to more accurately estimate the budget impact of this subsidy and properly plan for upcoming years, while also supporting the film industry in the state.
"This session, I expressed a willingness to compromise and consider a measure that expanded the reimbursement rate for television productions. However, I was clear that any such measure must be part of a comprehensive tax reform package that helps create more jobs in New Mexico. Unfortunately, as of the time I am required to take action on this bill, the legislature has chosen to only pass a package to increase subsidies to Hollywood, while failing to pass reforms designed to diversify our economy and help New Mexico businesses grow."

Toronto. The Orphanage."Bolstered by a flawless lead performance by Belen Rueda, The Orphanage is out to chill your bones, to be sure, but there's also a great air of mystery (and a wonderfully welcome sense of poignancy) that elevates the film beyond that of a simple thriller," writes Cinematical's James Rocchi. "And while some of the themes and ideas may feel familiar to those who follow the 'south of the border' horror exports, there's more than enough originality and freshness to satisfy those fans... Half-drama and half-horror, The Orphanage is entirely captivating from start to finish." "The Orphanage takes its characters to the deepest, darkest places imaginable and dares them to fight their way back," writes Jim Emerson. "There's a distinctively Spanish/Mexican sensibility at work here, in which the gruesome realities of loss and death and decay are acknowledged in the open, a part of life as it is lived, and there are no guarantees of a fairy-tale Happy Ending for anyone. That's because, as these cultures understand in their bones, the genuine, non-Disnified fairy tales don't necessarily have happy endings." Updated. "My hand remained over my mouth through most of this movie; a sure sign that I'm ready to stifle a scream," writes Michael Guillén. "Guillermo del Toro's executive production of The Orphanage lends winning pedigree to the project but the film survives quite on its own merits and through its own tonalities." "As a scare machine, it's hard to beat: There are three or four shocks that had me bolt upright in my seat, and yet it still sustains a creepy ambience throughout," writes Scott Tobias at the AV Club. But Ed Gonzalez, previewing the film as a New York Film Festival entry for Slant, is not boarding this bus: "When in Spain, do as Guillermo del Toro does. Or Victor Erice. Or Alejandro Amenábar. That is the modus operandi of the fetid The Orphanage, a haunted-house spooker that is all notations and no text." Online listening tip. Cinematical's James Rocchi talks with Bayona. Earlier: Reviews from Cannes. Update: Nick Schager finds The Orphanage "little more than a nonsensical, frequently ludicrous version of The Others, a ghost story in which character motivation is haphazard and scares as scarce as narrative logic."
Posted by dwhudson at September 19, 2007 12:46 AM
Ed Gonzalez from 'Slant' is completely OTM on 'The orphanage'. And there are not plot-holes, maybe he was just having a nap during some parts of the film. Nobody reclaiming the dissapeared kids? Erm, do you remember they were orphans? And the fact Simon being HIV-positive is not gratuitous – i.e. this makes him specially receptive to dead people's calls for help. Brilliant movie. Best of the year so far. Don't let Gonzalez misguide you, ok?Posted by: Jason Glover at September 19, 2007 12:15 PM

There are fewer jobs, and the majority of the ones that exist do not pay well.
Health insurance is more costly, as is practically everything else, making it harder for many people to pay the bills and put food on the table.
In an effort to help out some of the neediest households in the region, Champlain Telephone Company is holding its annual customer appreciation day, and the end result will be more food and money for area food shelves.
"We heard there was quite a need," said Victoria Marking, marketing manager for Primelink, Inc. "They are seeing an increase in the number of people using food shelves."
On Saturday, Aug. 18, from 9 a.m. – 2 p.m., Champlain Telephone Company will hold its annual customer appreciation day in conjunction with the Champlain Town-wide garage sale and Champlain Village Fest. Champlain Telephone Company employees have donated gently used garage sale items and will participate in the town-wide sale on that day.
All proceeds will be split evenly between the food shelves located in the Champlain Telephone service area, which includes Mooers, Mooers Forks, Altona, Champlain and Rouses Point.
Those in attendance are encouraged to bring a non-perishable food item to the event.
Raffle tickets will be on sale throughout the day for a variety of prizes, and the festivities will include a number of free events, including a performance by the Back Porch Band from noon – 2 p.m.
There will also be food, a bounce house, face painting, bucket truck rides and more.
Fiber splicing demonstrations will occur at 11:30 a.m., 12:30 p.m. and 1:30 p.m., while tours of the facility will be available throughout the day.
Customers are invited to enter a drawing to win a 32-inch IP-compatible flat-screen television.
"We have been doing this for quite a number of years," Marking said. "We did it as a thank you for employees and customers.

The winter's first blast of subzero weather has arrived, and along with it the associated risks of hypothermia, frostbite and even carbon monoxide poisoning from improperly vented heaters.
From the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention come these seasonal reminders:
– If you have to go outdoors, dress appropriately. Wear a hat, a scarf or knit mask to cover your face and mouth, sleeves that are snug at the wrist, mittens (they're warmer than gloves), water-resistant coat and shoes, and several layers of loose-fitting clothing to help insulate your body.
– Don't ignore persistent shivering. It's a sign that your body is losing heat and that you need to return indoors.
– Learn the signs of hypothermia and frostbite and what to do about them.
– Use caution if you plan to use a wood stove, fireplace or space heater as a source of heat. They should be properly vented to the outside so they don't leak flue gas indoors. Make sure chimneys and flues are cleaned periodically. Do not place a space heater near anything that might catch fire, such as drapery, furniture or bedding. Charcoal grills produce carbon monoxide and should not be used indoors or in a poorly ventilated garage.
Who's most at risk of hypothermia: infants and the elderly.
Because infants lose body heat more rapidly than adults, they should not be allowed to sleep in a cold room. Provide warm clothing and a blanket for babies and try to maintain a warm indoor air temperature. If the power is out or no heat is available, make arrangements to stay somewhere else.
Older adults often produce less body heat because their metabolism is slower and they're less physically active. Older persons should check their thermostat frequently during very cold weather to ensure their home is adequately heated.
Hypothermia also can occur among people who are homeless, children who are left unattended, individuals who are mentally ill, individuals under the influence of alcohol, and people such as hikers or hunters who spend long periods of time outdoors.

Spoilers ahead for the entire run of AMC's Breaking Bad.
With any beloved television show, like Breaking Bad, you're bound to encounter disagreements of various sorts.
Sometimes those take the shape of conspiracy theories – such as the recent squabble over who gave Walter White Leaves of Grass, Gretchen or Gale? (According to show creator Vince Gilligan, it was Gale.)
More often, however, the crux is whether or not a particular plot device or narrative choice really works for the show.
Crystal Blue Persuasion
Alyssa Rosenberg argues that the mid-season finale for Season 5 of Breaking Bad doesn't work. It simply doesn't make sense, she argues, for Walter to suddenly stop cooking meth.
"There are a number of possibilities here," Rosenberg writes, "that he's bowed to Skyler's reasoning, that in that pile of money, he's finally found satisfaction, that having gotten the meth business running smoothly and efficiently, he's no longer attracted to or challenged by the prospect of perfecting his operation. That, or it's possible that he's lying, and he intends to continue cooking."
She leaves out perhaps the most important reason of all: the cancer is back.
I think there are three important moments in Gliding Over All that help illuminate Walt's decision.
When Skyler shows him the enormous pile of money, she tells Walt that they couldn't possibly spend it in ten lifetimes.
In another moment in the show, we see Walt checking in on the state of his cancer. We see him look once again at that bathroom dispenser he beat up in Season 2, Episode 9 (4 Days Out) when he learned his cancer was in remission.
In this earlier scene, Walt's fear of cancer has been replaced by his newfound sense of power, and his desire to go quietly into that good night without being discovered, his legacy somehow diminished.
Now, with death lurking just around the corner – unlike the law, or Gus Fring, this pursuer is inescapable and inevitable – Walt realizes that his remaining days barely qualify as one full lifetime, let alone ten.
It's not that he's finally buried his Grey Matter ghosts, or stacked up enough money to be finally satisfied, it's that he's seen death coming for him, and he realizes it's time to see his kids again.

LAS CRUCES, N.M. – New Mexico State senior Desiree Scott scored 22 points and led the Aggies to a sweep (25-15, 25-18, 25-19) over Idaho, Saturday, Oct. 5, in the Pan American Center to move to 3-0 in Western Athletic Conference play and 8-8 overall.

"Desiree [Scott] played outstanding today and our setters did a great job locating her," said head coach Mike Jordan. "She is a great attacker and at times even a better blocker."

The Aggies hit .342 as a team in set three and took a 5-4 lead early on. NM State held the lead the rest of the set, closing out the match with a 25-19 win.
"Idaho was a good challenge to start the weekend and now we need to get prepared for Seattle," said Jordan.

A Bank Robber Nicknamed "Shrek"
"Ears" something unfortunate for bank robber David Holyoak of Manchester, England: his distinctive feature made it really easy for the police to identify and locate him!
As Holyoak, of Whitefield, Manchester, began a three-and-a-half year jail sentence for robbery yesterday, one officer said: 'This man only needs to look at himself in the mirror to realise crime is not for him.
'With his big ears and rotund features he stands out a mile, and the officers have no trouble spotting him. He must be a total liability when he is part of a gang.
'He has already been dubbed Shrek and must be one of the ugliest robbers in the country.'

You wanna see his brothers ears! its like looking at a Big Mac, seriously though hes had the ears jibe all his life it really doesnt bother him and it also gives the ladies something to peddle when he is guessing there weight ;)
ps, He looks nothing like Shrek and has never been called that by anyone he knows, Roland Rat is a diff matter though!

He's obviously proud of them, cutting his hair so short only makes them more pronounced.
Gosh, people are generally unimaginative. What? So he's got big ears, that makes him Shrek? No. Now Maurice Tillet...HE looks like Shrek. In fact, I hear Shrek was based on him. http://is.gd/4ZHqp
