Ironton's annual tournament casts spotlight on talent and endurance
IRONTON -- Ironton High's basketball team faces two major challenges starting Friday with the Ironton Classic.
The Fighting Tigers will play five games in eight days -- two in the Classic and three in the Junior Orange Bowl Classic scheduled Dec. 27-29 in Miami.
That makes endurance for the Fighting Tigers and talent level they'll see front and center.
"That's a test no matter who you play," Ironton coach Mark LaFon said of the grind Monday prior to practice.
In keeping with tradition, the Ironton Classic provides a chance for fans to see the top talent from six states and Washington, D.C. (21 teams total). Louisville, Wake Forest, Virginia Tech, Kansas State, Marshall, Indiana, Purdue, Dayton, West Virginia, Shawnee State, Western Kentucky, Buffalo, Hofstra and Samford are among schools recruiting players in the 2012 Classic.
Ironton opens with Bell Multicultural on Friday at 7:15 p.m. On Saturday, the Fighting Tigers will meet Columbus Eastmoor Academy in the fifth and final game of the day at 9:30.
"Bell hasn't seen us, we haven't seen them," LaFon said. "I don't like that. Eastmoor Academy is a very athletic team. It's the same in Miami. I know (overall) two of the five teams we play. It's all about scouting. I worry about that."
This is the fifth year for the Classic. Officials added a twist in making it a three-day event. There'll be two games Thursday ($4 admission), five on Friday and six on Saturday ($10 admission each day).
Hargrave Military Academy, one of the featured teams, is scheduled to play Thursday at 7 p.m. and Friday at 9. The Tigers have eight players who have signed Division I scholarships.
"The talent level is impressive," LaFon said. "This has grown into one of the biggest tournaments around. Three days ... we'll try it. I don't think this ruins the quality of the tournament. Every year it's gotten better and better."
Ironton comes in 3-0. The Fighting Tigers rolled over Lucasville Valley (85-50) and Waverly (68-20) and won at Portsmouth in between blowouts, 53-51.
Against Portsmouth, LaFon had his Fighting Tigers show discipline of offense. He wanted at least seven passes before a shot. Anything less and that player came out. Darrius Boykin hit one from behind the arc, but came out because the pass requirement hadn't been met. He quickly returned to action.
"We run what is offered to us," LaFon said. "We're gradually getting there. Pace of play is important. I don't want us to force our will on people."
Trey Fletcher and Zac Carter are Ironton's top weapons on offense.
The one girls game is Friday and it features Ironton against Spring Valley at 3:45 p.m. The Lady Tigers (5-1) traveled to Cabell Midland on Wednesday night. A name to watch for them is freshman Lexie Barrier, who had 21 points in Saturday's 91-45 win over Elliott County.

Scrutiny Of Palin Poses Risks For GOP And Dems
Professor Deborah L. Rhode comments in the San Francisco Chronicle on the political impact that VP candidate Sarah Palin's 17-year-old daughter's pregnancy might have:
Obama's own mother "gave birth at age 18, so I don't think he wants to go there," said Deborah Rhode, an anti-discrimination legal scholar at Stanford University. "And Republicans have no choice but to kind of embrace this as an affirmation of life: She's keeping the baby, she's going to get married, this is what they want women in these circumstances to do."
It is a remarkable turnabout from 16 years ago, when former Vice President Dan Quayle attacked the popular TV comedy series "Murphy Brown" for portraying "a character who supposedly epitomizes today's intelligent, highly paid professional woman" who is "mocking the importance of fathers, by bearing a child alone, and calling it 'just another lifestyle choice.' "

Strategy + Design will be the focus on January 17th. Bring your boss, strategy gurus, colleagues and friends who want to dive deeply into strategy development with a liberating twist. We turn our attention next to how LS allow you to include and unleash everyone in shaping strategy and adapting within fast-moving environments.
We will have special guests from business, NGOs, and healthcare with stories to tell. Henri Lipmanowicz has been invited to return for this workshop.
We have a limited number of scholarships available. If you need financial assistance in order to facilitate your participation, please reach out to Keith directly at (email@example.com).

Went for brunch today - I have celiac -- I noticed that there is nothing on the menu that fried, except the french fries, but I still had the server make sure there were no other ingredients on the french fries that would affect me. I was happy to know they were gluten-free... and they were delicious. I had a great omelet. with a nice side salad as well. My sister had a the chicken sandwich on a baguette which she loved. We ended with coffee gelato and with a bit of chocolate syrup. The staff were attentive -- the prices competitive. I will be back.

i've been here a few times, the tuna tartar is delicious with a nice little surprising guac addition, the mussels are great, drinks fantastic. the staff is so nice and friendly- fun even. definitely a neighborhood spot and i've been meaning to go back. very accomodating. not necessarily good for large parties since it is kind of small unless there's a back room i dont know of. outdoor seating is cute, doggie friendly! inside is cozy. i'm a fan.
Posted by Amy on 06/19/2010
This was not the best French resturant experience I've had. You can get French food that is just as good, if not better. My by got the tuna tartar, which was the worst tuna tartar we've ever had. The fish tasted old and the cilantro was over-powering. Our entrees were very good. The service is another story. It forever for the waiter take our order, and we felt rushed doing it. We didn't see him again until the check. In my opinion, there are so many great French restaurants in the city, particularly for the price, I wouldn't waste your time with this one.
Posted by Eddy on 01/18/2009
Great mussels and huge portion. The mushroom vol au vent is out of this wolrd. Wine list needs some work. Good beers too. Definately recommend it.

Steak Frites with Sauce Bearnaise - $29.00 The steak frites was not up to snuff! In fact, if it was any tougher then I would have returned it. But, I made the best of an ify situation and ate half of the steak. The bummer is that we ordered 2 steak frites main courses. Neither of the steaks were of average quality. The waiter did bring us a couple complementary desserts after we complained that was nice. If you want steak then go to a steak house.

My husband recently dined here. It's nice inside except when I asked if it were possible to turn down/off the ice cold AC, the waiter said "sure no problem." All was well until 10 minutes later, it was back on again. Maybe someone better won out? But they could have at least moved us to out of the air current. The waiter seemed indifferent and our food took a long time coming, and I generally felt a bit neglected. Too bad. The food was ok. Everything seemed pretty substandard.
Posted by orr on 06/13/2008
The bar is always busy, but the bartender is not a bar person. On several occasions I saw the bar patrons try hard to strike a conversation with him, but it was like pulling teeth. Last night a woman opened with "How was your day?" (which should be the bartender's line) just to get a startled look back. Seems like the regulars are left to entertain themselves there. The place would benefit greatly by putting someone with personality behind the bar.

Good Morning Muffins
Yummy muffins. Yum.
I've made these several times—usually using all shortening, but a couple of times (today included) using half butter, half shortening.
I believe the muffins are better—a bit lighter—with all shortening. But they're perfectly delicious with the half/half mixture.
I will now stop talking. And I will now begin baking.
Well, I'll still talk. But they won't be empty words. I promise.
Here's what you'll need:
Baking powder
Orange Marmalade
Orange Juice
To begin, sift together 4 cups flour, 1/2 cup sugar, and 2 tablespoons baking powder.
Place the dry ingredients into a mixing bowl and add 1/4 cup regular butter and 1/4 cup shortening OR 1/2 cup shortening, which is my preference.
Use a pastry blender or two knives to cut the mixture together.
Keep going until it's all mixed.
Now, measure 2 cups orange marmalade. The stuff in a jar.
Throw the marmalade into a bowl and pour in 1 cup of orange juice.
Stir this together. Inhale the citrusy goodness.
Now pour the mixture into the dry ingredients…
Then beat two eggs and pour them in.
Now, stir the mixture very gently, being careful not to overstir! Seriously—chill out with the wooden spoon. I limit myself to less than ten large strokes.
I stop just before the mixture is totally combined. If you overmix muffins, your life will spiral downward into a series of minor failures. It's that dang gluten, man!
Now, set the batter aside for a minute. In a separate bowl, pour 3/4 cup sugar…
Stir it together, then add 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon melted butter.
Stir this together. It should mostly be dry, but a little moist from the butter.
Now dump in 1/4 teaspoon salt and give it a stir.
Now grab this. Why? Because it's the easy road.
And I LOVE the easy road! It's a total blast.
After you give 'em a good spray, scoop the batter into a muffin pan.
Next, sprinkle a heaping teaspoon of the sugary-spice mixture onto the top of each muffin.
Then, if you want to be really, really cool and all GRANOLA-ISH, sprinkle some WHEAT GERM over the top. You don't have to do this, but it gives it a nice little crunch.
Plus, I've heard wheat germ is just slightly good for you.
This is Hyacinth's muffin pan. I've had it for four years. I like it. So I don't think I'll return it.
Now just bake the muffins for about 20 to 22 minutes on 375 degrees.
Eat 'em immediately, eat 'em later, pop 'em in Ziplocs, or save 'em till tomorrow.
Or freeze 'em. Freeze 'em till you need 'em.
'Em, 'em, 'em.
Sometimes I annoy even myself.
You'll love 'em. If you're lucky, you'll get a couple of bites with some ooey gooey marmalade…and the crunchy topping is such a delight. They're definitely a nice, substantial breakfast muffin. And they'll make you smile.
Here's the recipe!

… i wouldn't even need to digest those muffins; i could just go right ahead and apply them to my hips. just put the sucker right on them. … the latest issue of Cook's Illustrated shows how to make fruit muffins with a little butter, and then 1% buttermilk, for those of us who do not have bottoms or hips not to mention metabolisms shaped by years of ballet practice and ranch chores! … having said that, i imagine these do taste better. sigh.

How important is sifting? My mother (though she owned a sifter) never used it. I don't even have one for that reason. What kid of impact does it have on your baking? I would assume it makes things lighter and fluffier. I probably need to go buy one.

Another use for marmalade (aside from your yoghurt-marmalade cake)! I'm not a big muffin person, but these might be worth trying just for the marmaladishness.
deborah On Tuesday, April 14 at 8:28 pm
Oh for muffins sake! These look totally delicious and I'm gonna make some tomorrow morning…for myself and for a dear friend who's grieving over the death of her son…I think it'll make her feel a tiny bit loved on.
Thank you for the inspiration

Can I use this same batter in a loaf pan?
PB Rippey/sleepless mama On Tuesday, April 14 at 8:31 pm
I'm a fan of marmalade (perhaps that's a Facebook category?) and MUST MAKE THESE!
Laura On Tuesday, April 14 at 8:36 pm
Those look incredible! But, 2 TABLESPOONS of Baking powder?! Really?? That's not a gross measuring error like the time my sister and I made popcorn balls and instead of using 1/4 tsp. of salt I read it as 1/4 CUP of salt. My older sister asked me if I was sure, and I was 8 years old, so, yes, I was sure. Yeah, that was a mistake–totally inedible. The dog liked them, however.
Any way, are you SURE it's Tbsp. and not tsp.?
The Imp On Tuesday, April 14 at 8:39 pm
Ooh… I have a lemon-pear marmalade in my fridge that I think I'll use in this recipe this weekend. YUM. And yes, I'm more than willing to add an extra workout to my weekend to make up for it. SO worth it.

Do you make your recipes up, or are they a combination of things that you have come across? Or are they passed down from others? I myself could never "come up" with a recipe, and whenever I've tried…well, we order pizza.
These look really good!

Amiyrah On Tuesday, April 14 at 11:03 pm
These remind me of your french puff recipe. When I made those, I just died with delight. I'll have to try these when I have orange marmalade and orange juice in the house at the same time.
Keep those recipes coming!
Alexis On Tuesday, April 14 at 11:45 pm
Fun! I can't wait to try these. I think I'll make a batch up tomorrow since I have all the ingredients. Even marmalade. I never have marmalade.

Does MM have to tell you to STOP TALKING at times?
Wink. Wink.

frosty On Wednesday, April 15 at 4:49 am
looks yummy.. marmalade just got added to my shopping list…
Lauren B. On Wednesday, April 15 at 5:31 am
Those are so cute! Love all of your wonderful step by step photos, PW.
Just be sure you're using nonhydrogenated shortening. It's made from palm oil. Regular shortening contains dangerous transfat-filled refined vegetable oils. Even in small amounts it's BAD news. Don't feed your kids that stuff!
Sue On Wednesday, April 15 at 6:00 am
Don't you use freshly grated nutmeg??? You must!!! It is awesome!
I'll try these when I get home from Australia tomorrow (Thursday..which is probably the day AFTER tomorrow back home as I write this???)
G'day mate!!
Sarah On Wednesday, April 15 at 6:09 am
These sound wonderful! I don't have oj in the house – just apricot juice. Think it will work? I'll give it a shot and see…I'm kind of nervous.
Tessa On Wednesday, April 15 at 6:57 am
I've been wanting a new muffin recipe.
Lara On Wednesday, April 15 at 7:11 am
Nothing like a yummy citrusy muffin!
ellie k On Wednesday, April 15 at 7:15 am
I see you use a scoop(ice cream scoop) to dip the muffins. I have several sizes of scoops that I use to dip cookies, muffins or cup cakes and they come out so nice. It is not so messy as trying to use a spoon. I love my scoops. I wanted to tell the readers these scoops are great ..
Mixing Bowl Mama On Wednesday, April 15 at 7:18 am
These look delicious…I love that you used marmalade in them…yummy!
Rachel K. On Wednesday, April 15 at 7:29 am
Ree! There are only 11 muffins in the picture…You couldn't wait that long?
maggie On Wednesday, April 15 at 7:45 am
PW!!! Shortening!! Hydrogenated fat..bad bad bad…can this recipe be made with all butter??? Please don't use anything with hydrogenated fat in it..so bad for MM's heart and PW's heart and all those adorable punk's hearts.

Tracy C On Wednesday, April 15 at 7:57 am
Good Morning Ree! I just wanted to let you know that these were a huge hit this morning at the Wednesday Morning Breakfast at my office. Thanks for the recipe! You may have some new followers soon because some of the staff wanted the recipe so I simply gave them the link to your website.
Ashley On Wednesday, April 15 at 7:58 am

Pat in Oak Ridge On Wednesday, April 15 at 9:00 am

OMG!!! These sound heavenly! I think the 50 pounds I've lost over the last year are going to be quickly gained back since I found Ree's website! Hopefully, I didn't lose my willpower; everything in moderation.
Katie On Wednesday, April 15 at 9:31 am
Couple of questions:
Do they sell wheat germ at the grocery store? on the baking isle?
If i froze these after cooking, do you have any suggestions on warming them back up? Do I need to let them thaw first?
sonya On Wednesday, April 15 at 9:33 am
How much easier can muffin making get? Not much. You are a bed-and-breakfast-on-the-ranch hostess in the making.
anne-marie On Wednesday, April 15 at 9:33 am
Just wondering… should there be some salt in the actual muffin mix? I made them this morning for bfast and wondered if it would be better with salt in the muffin… don't get me wrong… they were good!
LONE CACTUS IN AZ On Wednesday, April 15 at 9:34 am
I have a similar recipe that I like to use up all the fresh oranges off my tree. Add some orange zest to the topping and you have heaven!
Cookin' Canuck On Wednesday, April 15 at 9:36 am
I love the idea of the orange marmalade, along with the nutmeg. Sound delicious! I'm going to make these this weekend. Beautiful photos, as usual!
Mom 23 On Wednesday, April 15 at 9:40 am
YUMMO…I think I need to host a brunch, just to try some of these yummy recipes!
jenny On Wednesday, April 15 at 9:49 am
Thank you for getting me up off my butt and out the door this morning- I had to go directly to the nearest grocery store when I saw this recipe and get marmalade and juice. I love to cook and bake, but I've been feeling like Austin Powers in The Spy Who Shagged Me- I've lost my cooking mojo of late. Hopefully, this recipe will give me the kick in the pants that I desperately need!
Divaberry On Wednesday, April 15 at 9:51 am
Hi! I'm a new reader and a new cook, and I really appreciate this recipe blog Speaking of gluten and overmixxing flour, I tried the chocolate sheetcake recipe recently, and it was groaningly yummy… but SLIGHTLY short of the "best sheetcake ever." It turned out a little spongey. Is that because I overmixed the flour? Tips would be appreciated, I want to make that again very soon

melissa On Wednesday, April 15 at 10:02 am
Oh those look great. I can't wait to try them. I make a blueberry muffin recipe with that exact same crumbly topping and it's so good. It really makes the muffin stand out.
Laine On Wednesday, April 15 at 10:07 am
I made these last night; they were amazing!
Mnittler On Wednesday, April 15 at 10:15 am
I am headed to the store for the marmalade and short'n. I love to bake. Kiddies love to eat. Perfect match.
Melissa On Wednesday, April 15 at 10:15 am
Yum!!! These look so delicious. I am going to go home and make these after work tonight. Muffins for dinner!
jenny On Wednesday, April 15 at 10:21 am
Dear PW, forgive me for I have sinned…
So was making these and I thought- what's even EASIER than spraying the muffin tins??? Muffin tin LINERS of course!!
Big mistake. BIG. HUGE. They're delicious, wonderfully textured… and loveaduck- stuck to the papers.
Guess I'll just have to make another batch….
Ernestine On Wednesday, April 15 at 10:33 am
Ree, these look marvelous. I love the crunchy tops on them–actually I would love to make these in a muffin top pan (I sold mine at a carport sale–what a dilbert!).
Thanks, Ree
Tennessee Addie Girl
Katie On Wednesday, April 15 at 10:37 am
Holy smokes, these look ridiculously fantastic. I will definitely make a batch for the weekly meeting next Tuesday ;o) Meetings become strangely tolerable with delicious baked goods…I especially like that these don't have a ton of sugar, and I imagine it would be possible to replace the marmalade with pureed fresh fruit and juice.
BTW, I've made quite a few of your recipes, and I must say that they have all been fun AND delicious. Especially those molasses cookies – they are absolutely dangerous, especially for my boyfriend who inhales them! Not that I'd mind him with a bit of chub!

Brian Wilson's warWritten by Michael Miller | Editor in Chief Emeritus | firstname.lastname@example.com
The Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn owns the chair Abraham Lincoln was sitting in when John Wilkes Booth fired a single Derringer bullet into his skull. The chair is a quilted red fabric with an ornate wooden frame. The top of the chair, where the head would rest, is badly and darkly stained.
The first time I saw that stain on the chair, I shuddered with a chill I have only experienced in front of two other historical artifacts. One was a Holocaust Museum boxcar used to transport Jewish victims to Auschwitz; the inside of that train car was colder than any cold I can describe from this side of the grave. The other icy moment was seeing a pair of perfectly preserved children's shoes at a Memphis exhibit of Titanic artifacts. Neither moment matched the gloomy dread I felt while looking at the blood-stained back of the chair in which Lincoln had sat near his wife, joking and watching a comedy.
"Those stains aren't blood," the tour guide said, reading my mind and interrupting my thoughts. "those are stains from hair pomade."
Things are not always what they seem, no matter how emotionally intense and visceral one's reaction is to the stimuli.
While making one of my frequent scans of some local blogs and news sites Aug. 14, I read this comment on SwampBubbles, in reaction to a Blade story on WSPD host Brian Wilson's Wood County home reportedly being foreclosed: "The Toledo Blade needs to follow up on some of this, God knows the Toledo Free Press will probably not even cover this story."
The post was from a contributor who calls himself "Wolfman." I know who Wolfman is, because he has written to me under his real name. I do not know if his real name is common knowledge on blog sites, so I will not breach etiquette and out him here.
Wolfman's comment is presumably based on a belief that the hot-and-cold relationship between WSPD and Toledo Free Press will inspire one to protect the other, but that belief ignores each organization's history of commenting on and occasionally criticizing the other's stances on case-by-case issues.
Wolfman often spars on SwampBubbles with WSPD morning host Fred LeFebvre and, as is his right, is unrelentingly critical of Toledo Free Press, WSPD and most local media; he has stated his rather paranoid belief that "The extreme right has control or indirect control of most of Toledo media."
I am not sure how any media outlet that employs Lisa Renee Ward and Don Burnard could be thought of as controlled by the extreme right; hell, I am not sure how any media outlet that shares a ZIP code with Burnard could be thought of that way. But that is Wolfman's opinion and nothing I can say will dissuade him.
One of Wolfman's more amusing habits is his on-the-one-hand dismissal of the stories we choose to cover and his on-the-other-hand complaints about the stories we do not choose to cover. Damned if we do and damned if we don't, as far as Wolfman is concerned.
When The Blade reported in late May that WSPD program director, news director and afternoon host Brian Wilson was broadcasting many of his shows from Virginia, Wolfman howled with delight. He called Wilson a "carpetbagger" and a liar. When The Blade reported Aug. 14 that Wilson's home was being foreclosed, the schadenfreude spewed from Wolfman with the predictability of Old Faithful: "Why would a supposed 'wealthy man' foreclose on his own property? Why would a former 'Big Market' talk show host come to Toledo in the first place?" Wolfman wrote, following that with his "God knows the Toledo Free Press will probably not even cover this story" comment.
So, will we cover this story? Is it a story? The Blade thought so; it ran it on Page 1, so it must be super important, right?
Almost anyone with skin in the game of Toledo development will nod in agreement when the conversation turns to The Blade's bullying tactics being a detriment to the city's progression, even as its circulation and relevance fades. But there aren't that many public critics, are there? You can count the number of outspoken Blade critics on one hand and you won't need your thumb. Wilson is consistently one of the loudest and most enthusiastic of those critics. That, in Blade logic, makes him a target and fair game for humiliation; he is held to a different standard of coverage, and not just because he is inarguably a public figure.
That is not to defend Wilson or portray him as a victim. I can tell you from experience that when you dare to break the silence of the lambs and hold The Blade accountable for its crimes against journalism, you accept that you have bought yourself a series of concentric red and white circles on your life, reputation and career.
If Wilson's managerial equivalent at Blade partner WTOL, Bob Chirdon, foreclosed on a house, would The Blade put it on Page 1? Last month, a fairly high-ranking Blade employee's home was listed in court records as going into foreclosure; was that on Page 1? Or on any Blade page?
Again, this is not a defense of Wilson, whose comments when Keith Sadler was locking himself in his home to protest a foreclosure certainly opens Wilson to accusations of not practicing what he preaches. The point is that, like the stains on Lincoln's chair at the Henry Ford Museum, the Blade story (and its Page 1 placement) are not what they seem on the surface, no matter how emotionally intense and visceral one's reaction is to the stimuli.
Wilson and The Blade are at war, and anything they say about each other should be held to a higher standard of circumspection, with the distinction that Wilson wields opinion while The Blade pretends it is offering news. And yes, my opinions on Wilson and The Blade are subject to the same wariness, as is anything The Blade writes about the people featured on this page.
When a commenter like Wolfman hacks at a topic with zero awareness of his own ideological blind spots and rhetorical decrepitude, that level of circumspection should rise even higher, even as the depth of the stain on conversational civility sinks ever lower.

WASHINGTON, D.C. Home prices increased in September in most major U.S. cities, more evidence of a housing recovery that is providing a lift to the fragile economy.
Standard & Poors/Case-Shiller reported Tuesday that its 20-city index of home prices rose 3 percent in September compared with the same month last year. Prices also gained 3.6 percent in the July-September quarter compared with the same quarter in 2011.
Across the nation, prices increased in 18 of 20 cities over the 12-month period. In Phoenix, prices jumped 20.4 percent over that stretch to lead all cities. Prices in Atlanta showed a modest 0.1 percent increase, ending 26 straight consecutive year-over-year declines.
Prices also rose in September from August in 13 cities. Five metro regions posted declines, while two were unchanged.
In Las Vegas, one of the hardest hit during the housing crisis, prices increased 1.4 percent the biggest month-over-month gain. Prices rose 1.1 percent in Phoenix and Minneapolis. The largest decline was in Cleveland, where prices fell 0.9 percent.
Monthly prices are not seasonally adjusted, so some of the declines may signal the end of the summer buying period.
David M. Blitzer, chairman of the Case-Shiller index, said that when adjusting for seasonal factors, only one city showed a decline in September versus two in August. Despite the seasons, housing continues to improve, Blitzer said.
The S&P/Case-Shiller index covers roughly half of U.S. homes. It measures prices compared with those in January 2000 and creates a three-month moving average. The September figures are the latest available.
Steady increases in home prices have helped drive a modest recovery in the housing market. Rising prices encourage more potential buyers to come off the sidelines and purchase homes. And more people may put their homes on the market as they gain confidence that they can sell at a good price.
Higher home prices can also make homeowners feel wealthier and more likely to spend more. Consumer spending accounts for about 70 percent of the U.S. economy.
A big reason for the rebound is that the excess supply of homes that built up before the housing crisis has finally thinned out. The number of previously occupied homes available for sale has fallen to a 10-year low. The inventory of new homes is also near the lowest level since 1963.
At the same time, more people are looking to buy or rent a home after living with relatives or friends during and immediately after the Great Recession.
Those trends are also pushing up home sales and construction. Sales of previously occupied homes are near five-year highs, excluding temporary spikes in 2009 and 2010 when a homebuyer tax credit boosted purchases.
Builders, meanwhile, are more optimistic that the recovery will endure. A measure of their confidence rose to the highest level in six and a half years this month. And builders broke ground on new homes and apartments at the fastest pace in more than four years last month.

Goal-shy Plymouth Argyle continue to cry out for cutting edge
Posted: December 31, 2012|
WHEN your top scorer in all competitions has got four goals at the turn of the year, you know you have problems.
That is the case with Argyle as 2012 ends and they prepare to enter 2013.
Paris Cowan-Hall has netted four times for the Pilgrims this season, but only a couple of them have come in League Two.
That is one less than Warren Feeney, Rhys Griffiths and former Aldershot Town loanee Guy Madjo.
It is stating the obvious but Argyle must improve their goalscoring record if they are to start moving away from the bottom of the table.
The 1-0 defeat by injury-hit Wycombe Wanderers at Home Park on Saturday was a sobering reminder of that.
Argyle had a lot of the possession but were sorely lacking when it came to any end product to their attacking play.
Far too often, their crossing was inaccurate and their touch on the ball in and around the penalty area was clumsy.
They had plenty of shots but usually they were from outside the penalty area and Wycombe's 19-year-old goalkeeper Jordan Archer was rarely tested.
Archer, on loan from Tottenham Hotspur, did not have a save to make in the second half as the visitors defended a lead given to them as early as the 11th minute.
Cowan-Hall had the beating of Wycombe left-back Sam Wood but the Pilgrims could not turn that to their advantage.
Argyle were also up against two inexperienced centre-backs in 18-year-old Kortney Hause and Anthony Stewart, 20, and it showed in the first half.
They struggled to cope with the physical presence of striker Nick Chadwick, but grew in confidence as the game went on and the home side did not get on the scoresheet.
In all honesty, Argyle could have probably have played for another 90 minutes and not got a goal.
As for Wycombe, they created only a couple of chances but striker Matt McClure demonstrated the finishing touch which the Pilgrims were crying out for.
Argyle are clearly in need of someone who can regularly get among the goals but those sort of players do not come cheap.
When, like the Pilgrims, you have little or no money to spend, you have to hope to strike lucky with a cast-off from another club or a young loan signing.
Argyle started against Wycombe with the same side who had drawn 1-1 at home to Torquay United on Boxing Day.
That meant 17-year-old striker Tyler Harvey, who scored a late equaliser on his full debut against the Gulls, again led the attack with Chadwick.
The Pilgrims were positive from the kick-off and created some good early chances.
Archer could not hold onto a right-wing cross from Cowan-Hall and both Chadwick and Onismor Bhasera tried to stab the ball into the net.
In the end, though, Hause flicked it away from inside the six-yard area.
Cowan-Hall fired over the crossbar after speeding past Wood before Bhasera sent a 20-yard drive into the Barn Park End.
Chadwick then collected the ball from Cowan-Hall and his shot on the turn hit the base of the left post.
All of this action had occurred before 10 minutes had elapsed as Argyle dominated.
Then, totally against the run of play, Wycombe captain Stuart Lewis set up McClure for a chance he readily accepted.
Showing a poise in front of goal Argyle could not match, McClure fired low to the left of 'keeper Rene Gilmartin and into the far corner of the net.
It took time for the Pilgrims to recover from that setback, but Cowan-Hall did shoot wide from a good position in the 21st minute.
As half-time approached, Argyle applied some sustained pressure in the search for an equaliser.
A close range attempt from midfielder Conor Hourihane in the 35th minute would have been on target had it not hit Harvey.
Defender Maxime Blanchard then headed over the bar after Archer failed to deal with a corner taken by Young.
Left-back Robbie Williams also tried two shots from distance but, on both occasions, the ball flew past the outside of the right post.
Deep into stoppage time, Wycombe had the chance to extend their lead when midfielder Bruno Andrade broke clear.
The loan signing from Queens Park Rangers was closely chased by Argyle right-back Curtis Nelson and dragged his shot well wide across the face of goal.
There was an early scare for the home side in the second half when a corner from Wycombe midfielder Matt Spring hit the outside of the near post.
Moments later, a cross-shot from Cowan-Hall bounced off the top of the bar at the Devonport End of the pitch.
Argyle remained on top, with captain Darren Purse heading wide from a Young corner in the 54th minute.
Cowan-Hall then teed up Chadwick with a precise cross into the penalty area but his header from a good position was some way wide.
Soon afterwards, Warren Feeney was sent on to partner Chadwick in attack.
Harvey was the player to make way for him, much to the displeasure of many of the Green Army.
Manager Carl Fletcher explained after the game that Harvey had been suffering from a sore calf.
A double substitution followed in the 70th minute, with Bhasera and Chadwick replaced by Mark Molesley and Rhys Griffiths.
Molesley was a surprising choice to play out wide, instead of Andres Gurrieri or Joe Lennox, who were also on the bench.
By then, Argyle had lost their attacking momentum and Wanderers defended with increasing assurance.
They took every opportunity they could to waste time, with Marvin McCoy and Andrade booked by referee Brendan Malone for doing so.
Hourihane wastefully volleyed over the bar from close range as frustration set in for Argyle.
Six minutes of stoppage time were added on by Malone after a series of breaks in play but there was to be no late reprieve for the Pilgrims as there was against Torquay.
This, by any standards, was a dreadfully disappointing result against opponents without several of their better players.
It leaves Argyle facing the prospect of a fight against relegation from League Two in 2013.

|Possibility of a Guggenheim Museum in Finland
|Wednesday, 19 January 2011 15:08
Helsinki Mayor, Jussi Pajunen, has recently announced that the City of Helsinki has commissioned the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation to conduct a concept and development study, exploring the possibility of creating a new Guggenheim Museum in Finland. Helsinki is the largest city in Finland.
While located at the heart of the fast-growing Baltic Sea region, 315 miles due east of Stockholm, where it serves as a gateway between East and West, the city is home to 1.3 million people and several universities. The relocation of the cargo harbor in 2008 opened vast waterfront areas in downtown Helsinki have been freed for redevelopment, further enhancing Helsinki's strong maritime character and making the urban structure more sustainable.
The study, which is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2011, will explore topics including the possible mission and structure of an innovative, multidisciplinary art museum in Finland, the form that its exhibition and education programs might take, its prospective relationship with Helsinki's existing visual arts institutions, the museum's potential economic impact and the scope of the Guggenheim Foundation's involvement in its operation. Beginning from a deep consideration of program and purpose, the study will seek to imagine what a museum of the 21st century might be.
The Mayor stated, "As the capital of our country and home to its greatest concentration of art museums, Helsinki has a special responsibility to keep improving and developing Finland's cultural infrastructure. It is widely recognized that cultural destinations can help drive economic growth for a country, provided they are created within an intelligent overall plan for development. We have such a plan—and the Guggenheim, as a truly global institution, is the ideal institution to collaborate with us in studying how to realize our goals. This is a collaboration that can help Helsinki and Finland prosper in an increasingly interconnected and competitive world."
The commencement of this concept and development study marks the first step in a multi-level process that will advance and evolve only with the appropriate consent and endorsement at each stage.

- The electronic exchange of information and respect for private life, banking secrecy and the free internal market (2010)
- The purpose of this essay is to assess the automatic exchange of information as described in EU Directive 2003/48 of 3 June 2003 on taxation of savings income in the form of interest payments with regard to the fundamental right of the individual to a private life, to banking secrecy and the freedoms on which the European internal market is based. The assessment reveals the conflicts of interests and values involved in the holding by banks (particularly those offering private banking services) of increasingly extensive, detailed and intimate information about their clients and in the automatic processing of that information by ever more powerful and sophisticated systems. Banking secrecy plays an essential role in protecting clients against the dangers which the disclosure of such information without their permission might produce. Banking secrecy exists not only in Luxembourg but also in many other European countries, and in Germany and France in particular it is not very different from the system applying in Luxembourg. While the French and German tax authorities do have some investigative powers not enjoyed by their Luxembourg counterparts, those powers are strictly circumscribed and cannot rely on the electronic exchange of information set out in EU Directive 2003/48/EC. While banking secrecy is totally incompatible with the electronic exchange of information, the core question is whether the latter can be reconciled with the respect for private life. In a Europe that sets itself up as the cradle of human rights, the general and en-masse exchange of private information cannot provide adequate and sufficient guarantees that the information exchanged will not be misused. The amount of interference in private life is clearly out of proportion to the public interest involved and is contrary to sub-section 2, article 8 of the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms and to articles 7 and 8 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union. Since the automatic exchange of information at least potentially risks restricting the free flow of capital among Member States and discouraging the use of transborder banking services, its compliance with the fundamental principles of the internal market also needs to be closely examined. The restrictions imposed by such exchange very probably go beyond the limits within which the free movement of capital and services is possible. The European Court of Justice has found that there is no proportionality if the measures supposedly undertaken in the general interest are actually based on a general presumption of tax evasion or tax fraud. However, it would be true to say that the ECJ does not always examine the tax restrictions placed on the free movement of capital particularly thoroughly to ensure that they are necessary or proportionate. The economic effectiveness of the automatic exchange of information is far from being proved and involves significant cost to the banks providing the information and to the tax authorities using it. To date the system does not appear to have produced any significant new tax revenue nor does it prevent the continuing outflow of capital from Europe. Yet withholding at source, which respects individual and economic freedoms, does generate tax revenue that is cost-free to the State. Exchange of information on request in justified cases using the OECD Tax Convention on Income and Capital model does also fight tax fraud while at the same time providing citizens with the guarantees required to ensure their private lives are respected. A combination of these two systems - withholding at source and exchange of information on request in justified cases - would create the proper balance between the public and private interest that the automatic exchange of information cannot provide.
- The European Model Company Law Act project (2008)
- On 27 and 28 September 2007, a commission formed on the initiative of the authors held its first meeting in Aarhus, Denmark to deliberate on its goal of drafting a "European Model Company Law Act" (EMCLA). This project, outlined in the following pages, aims neither to force a mandatory harmonization of national company law nor to create a further, European corporate form. The goal is rather to draft model rules for a corporation that national legislatures would be free to adopt in whole or in part. Thus, the project is thought as an alternative and supplement to the existing EU instruments for the convergence of company law. The present EU instruments, their prerequisites and limits will be discussed in more detail in Part II, below. Part III will examine the US experience with such "model acts" in the area of company law. Part IV will then conclude by discussing several topics concerning the content of an EMCLA, introducing the members of the EMCLA Working Group, and explaining the Group's preliminary working plan.
- European company law beyond the 2003 action plan (2007)
- This paper will sketch out some of the developments in European company law as seen from the current moment, which might be referred to as post- 2003 Action Plan, and from my purely personal viewpoint. I will thus restrict myself to presenting the current and expected legislative projects of the EU, with particular focus on the plans and activities of the Commission, and for the moment bracket out both a number of important and interesting decisions of the European Court of Justice and the debates among European legal scholars.
- Taking shareholder protection seriously? : Corporate governance in the United States and Germany (2003)
- The attitude expressed by Carl Fuerstenberg, a leading German banker of his time, succinctly embodies one of the principal issues facing the large enterprise – the divergence of interest between the management of the firm and outside equity shareholders. Why do, or should, investors put some of their savings in the hands of others, to expend as they see fit, with no commitment to repayment or a return? The answers are far from simple, and involve a complex interaction among a number of legal rules, economic institutions and market forces. Yet crafting a viable response is essential to the functioning of a modern economy based upon technology with scale economies whose attainment is dependent on the creation of large firms.
- Taking shareholder protection seriously? : Corporate governance in the United States and Germany (2003)
- The paper undertakes a comparative study of the set of laws affecting corporate governance in the United States and Germany, and an evaluation of their design if one assumes that their objective were the protection of the interests of minority outside shareholders. The rationale for such an objective is reviewed, in terms of agency cost theory, and then the institutions that serve to bound agency costs are examined and critiqued. In particular, there is discussion of the applicable legal rules in each country, the role of the board of directors, the functioning of the market for corporate control, and (briefly) the use of incentive compensation. The paper concludes with the authors views on what taking shareholder protection seriously, in each country s legal system, would require.
- Changing patterns of corporate disclosure in continental Europe : the example of Germany (2002)
- This article presents a structural overview of corporate disclosure in Germany against the background of a rapidly evolving European market. Professor Baums first makes the theoretical case for mandatory disclosure and outlines the standard, regulatory elements of market transparency. He then turns to German law and illustrates both how it attempts to meet the principle, theoretical demands of disclosure and how it should be improved. The article also presents in some detail the actual channels of corporate disclosure used in Germany and the manner in which German law now fits into the overall development of the broader, European Community scheme, as well as the contemplated changes and improvements both at the national and the supranational level.
- Company law reform in Germany (2002)
- The paper was submitted to the conference on company law reform at the University of Cambridge, July 4th, 2002. Since the introduction of corporation laws in the individual German states during the first half of the 19th century, Germany has repeatedly amended and reformed its company law. Such reforms and amendments were prompted in part by stock exchange fraud and the collapse of large corporations, but also by a routine adjustment of law to changing commercial and societal conditions. During the last ten years, a series of significant changes to German company law led one commentator to speak from a "company law in permanent reform". Two years ago, the German Federal Chancellor established a Regierungskommission Corporate Governance ("Government Commission on Corporate Governance") and instructed it to examine the German Corporate Governance system and German company law as a whole, and formulate recommendations for reform.

Near miss reports
Gathers analytical data to categorize and trend analyze near misses thereby providing an excellent leading indicator for your organization. Has user workflows to ensure accurate and usable descriptions of the events are recorded. Root causes are required when possible and there is also the facility to conduct incident investigations similar in process to the report below. Read details on the next report. Ensures near misses are easy to report and analyze, at the same time enforcing follow up of any preventive measures to close out. Once this system is implemented you will likely see an increase in reports in your organization due to the ease and paperless benefits.
Incident reports and investigation
The emphasis is to have a report which is comprehensive enough to address the biggest of incidents and is equally suited to analysing a smaller scale incident. The main concept here is to have the report as well as the root causes and completed preventive actions in one place. The thrust is to compress these processes at the same time giving enough room for detail. The reports are easily converted to different formats like word and pdf for easy dissemination of lessons learnt.
The report starts with collection of relevant information as well as summaries. Almost any kind of attachment is allowed including word, excel, ppt, pdf, gif, jpeg, bmp, wav, mp3, wmv, mp4 and the list goes on. For those who disdain technological abbreviations these are file types encompassing documents, spreadsheets, pictures, sounds, videos etc.
Root cause analysis is comprehensive requiring preventive actions to be recommended and thereafter closed out by 'actions'. The 'actions' have their own workflow separate from the incident report and can therefore be delegated to responsible personnel for close out. Actions lodge themselves as tasks on the responsible users' homescreens and remind if and when they are overdue. Supervisors are also alerted in case of overdue actions.
All workflows require a responsible person in the organization to 'approve' completed reports or follow up actions.

Cambridge students refuse to pay fines as 'obscene' banner row rumbles on
Posted: April 09, 2014|
Student protesters fined for disrupting a talk by Universities Minister David Willetts with a provocative bannner have refused to pay up.
Cambridge Defend Education activists Conrad Landin and Jessica O'Driscoll-Breen were fined £20 on Tuesday for breaching the Cambridge Union Society (CUS) constitution by unfurling a banner containing an obscene message during Mr Willetts' talk on March 7.
Despite cheers from the audience, they were ejected from the historic chamber.
The pair presented the CUS with a oversized cheque yesterday afternoon issued by 'the Bank of Moral Bankruptcy' for 'Sod All', which was signed 'F*** off'.
They told a student newspaper they did not want to engage in an process with the union whom they accused of "crushing the free speech of their members".
A CUS spokesperson said: "The CUS would like to thank 'F*** Off' for their cheque for 'Sod All'.
"Unfortunately, given that Ms O'Driscoll-Breen and Mr Landin have failed to comply with the President's previous judgement, or lodge a further appeal as they were informed they had to right to, they have been placed under further investigation under Chapter L, Paragraph 1 (K) of the Laws of the CUS.
"On a personal note, the President would like to commend Cambridge Defend Education for their outstanding calligraphy. The 'cheque' is now on display in the President's office."
The investigation continues.

Happy Anniversary, Glee! Its Very First Scene Filmed 4 Years Ago
Happy Birthday to... Glee! Exactly four years ago today, the hit FOX comedy filmed its very first scene. And it's sort of a scandalous one, too.
On October 11, 2012, Glee writer Michael Hitchcock tweeted, "Four years ago today the first scene ever shot for Glee: Will reveals the weed he supposedly found in Finn's locker."
Ah, we remember that fateful moment like it was yesterday. Will (Matthew Morrison) knows that Finn (Cory Monteith) has a killer voice, but there's no way he's going to be able to convince a cool football jock to join his nerdy little glee club.
The only conceivable solution? Planting marijuana in Finn's locker, "discovering" it, and forcing the poor kid to join glee club as punishment.
Hey, whatever gets the job done, right? We just hope Finn doesn't decide to employ any of the same methods with newbie football jock Ryder (Blake Jenner) when he takes over as temporary glee club lead. (Mr. Schue taught you a lot of valuable lessons, Finn. That was not one of them.)
Huge congrats to Glee on reaching such a big milestone. Say it with us: Four more years!
Can't get enough Gleetastic goodness? Like us on Facebook or follow us on Twitter!

Love That Hat
By Sheepwoman
from Loveland, CO
It is a tremendous "bad hair day" hat as well as attractive and practical. It can cover the ears, but doesn't pinch them. It is warm, but doesn't get too hot. It sure gets a lot of compliments!

Perfect color to match every shade from green to gray. Three season wear and a deep over the ears pull make it a special friend.

I purchased this hat in Denver in April. It was still cool and breezy there and I had recently cut off all my hair. It is a perfect hat for cool or cold weather. It is comfortable to wear (snug so that it stays on, but not so snug that I end up with a headache), lightweight (it breathes but keeps the chill off my head), and very cute (I chose black, which goes with everything). One of the best purchases I have made.
Love it! Love it! Love it!

I have searched for hats like this one for a while. Yo can wear it for dress or everyday. Love both of them!

brim a little too small to be flattering.

I bought this hat as we were out on a snowy Denver evening. The hat fits well, looks amazing either dressed up or down. Very comfortable and warm. Love, love, love!!!
Cute hat; so twenties!

I picked this hat for my Mom (90 yrs. old) for Christmas because I keep telling her how much warmer it is to wear a hat so of course, she hasn't seen it yet or tried it on. I also picked out another one for her, but I was looking for tan and the store didn't have it. Not a problem, the sales people found it for me on-line. I've received it already and looks so nice, but again, she'll have a choice when she opens them up on Christmas Eve. If she doesn't want them both, I think I'll just keep the other one!
I would buy this product again and again

I wear it on my way to work. Love the color, goes with everything perfectly. Everyone that sees me wearing it also compliments me and the hat. It's a great new-old look and I absolutely love it. Keeps my head nice and warm. Haven't found anything about it that I dislike. Might get another color for Christmas.........
