Memorial Day weekend will mark the grand opening of the first of seven four-story apartment buildings at Beaver Meadows Apartments behind the Target store off outer Arsenal Street in the Towne Center Plaza.
That 40-unit building almost fully spoken for with tenants who already have signed leases is part of the 296-unit project being completed by COR Development Co., Fayetteville. Three more apartment buildings will open in June, July and August, while the final three should be done by November.
Thom M. DiFant, COR residential leasing and property manager, said he expects all the buildings to be filled with tenants before they open because of their high demand among military families. Amenities include a community clubhouse, a fitness center, a walking trail, playgrounds and 24-hour security. The leasing office on site will begin hosting apartment tours for prospective tenants in the next three weeks.
Theres been really high demand, Mr. DiFant said of the upscale units. The city was in serious need of beautiful apartments. Its a secure place for mothers with children, has two playgrounds and is pet-friendly.
Market rates for the apartments range from $760 per month for a 760-square-foot, one-bedroom apartment up to $1,327 for a 1,327-square-foot, three-bedroom apartment. Those rates dont include the cost of gas and electric utilities.
Sixty affordable units 20 percent of the total number are available to low- to moderate-income families, ranging from $710 per month for one bedroom to $970 for three bedrooms. Those affordable units were made possible by $2.4 million in tax credits acquired by COR through the state Division of Housing and Community Renewal.
Workers continued construction through the winter, Mr. DiFant said, but the timetable for completion has been extended because of unexpected delays in electrical work by National Grid. Completion has been pushed back about three weeks as a result.
They had to move their crew because of Hurricane Sandy, he said.
Ground was broken in December 2011 for the project, which regional leaders touted as a step toward providing much-needed housing for military families at Fort Drum.
It was made possible by a 10-year payment-in-lieu-of-taxes agreement approved by taxing jurisdictions in 2012. COR will make $1.5 million in PILOT payments to Jefferson County and the Watertown City School District; that is half what the project would have paid in property taxes over the PILOTs 10-year term. To make those payments, COR garnered a $3 million loan from the Community Rental Housing Committee, composed of the Jefferson County Industrial Development Agency, Jefferson County and the Development Authority of the North Country. JCIDA also approved sales and mortgage-recording tax breaks totaling about $1.5 million.

Singer Florence Ballard was a founding member of The Supremes. On what would have been her 69th birthday, we look back on her life and career tragically cut short when she was just 32 years old.
Florence Ballard (Wikimedia Commons/ABC Records)
Born in Detroit as the ninth of fifteen children, young Florence Ballard moved all around the city as her father struggled to support the large family while working at General Motors. When she was fifteen, the family settled in the Brewster-Douglas housing project.
Around that time, she became friends with a doo wop trio called The Primes (two of the group's members would later form The Temptations). Milton Jenkins, manager of the group, decided to create a sister act called The Primettes and made Ballard its founding member. He also relied on her to find the rest of the band. Ballard convinced Mary Wilson, whom she'd met at a talent show, to join and also enlisted the services of her neighbor, 15-year-old Diana Ross. Betty McGlown – who was dating Primes member Paul Williams at the time – was the final member of the quartet.
The group played talent shows, sock hops and parties around Detroit and landed an audition with Berry Gordy, head of what would eventually become Motown Records. Gordy liked their sound but told them they were too young and advised them to stay in school.
Two years later, he felt they were ready.
Relaunched as The Supremes – a name chosen by Ballard – the group was signed by Berry Gordy to Tamla Records. Betty McGlown was replaced by Barbara Martin and The Supremes released the single "I Want a Guy," which failed to chart. Their next, "Buttered Popcorn," would be the only single to feature Ballard as the lone vocal lead. The song didn't make a dent nationally, but was a regional hit. After that, the band would release all their songs under the Motown label. The next, "Your Heart Belongs To Me," would be their first hit.
It was also the first to feature Diana Ross as the lead.
A year later, Ross had taken over as the group's lead vocalist, with the others now mostly relegated to back up roles. The situation did not sit well with Ballard – known as the 'sassy' one of the group she was never shy about expressing her opinions – but she wanted to stick with the group anyway. Finally, in 1964, the group jokingly referred to inside the Hitsville U.S.A. studios as "the no-hit Supremes" topped the charts with "Where Did Our Love Go" – a tune they'd been reluctant to even record.
It began a remarkable run, with their next four singles all reaching #1. Within a year they were international stars, and were arguably the second most popular act in the world behind The Beatles. They were one of the first black acts to achieve crossover success with white audiences, recording movie soundtracks, appearing in films, performing on The Ed Sullivan Show no fewer than 17 times and even marketing their own brand of bread.
But tensions in the group were simmering as it became clear that Berry Gordy considered Diana Ross the star. When Ballard was ill for one show, Gordy had Ross sing the Ballard number "People" and never gave it back to Ballard when she recovered. Ballard also struggled with her weight and alcohol abuse, struggling at times to fit into her dresses, and began missing shows and recording dates because of her drinking. Berry Gordy quietly started grooming another singer, Cindy Birdsong, to take her place – even going so far as to secretly fly Birdsong to all Supremes shows just in case Ballard failed to show up. Ballard got wind of the plot when she discovered five dresses in the dressing room, and reacted by getting drunk before a show at the Flamingo Hotel in Las Vegas in 1967.
It would be the last time she took the stage as a Supreme.
Gordon sent her packing back to Detroit. For her six-year tenure with The Supremes – one which saw them release ten #1 singles – she was given a one-time payment of $139,804. As part of the agreement, in promoting her solo career she wasn't allowed to mention she was a former Supreme or had even been associated with Motown Records.
Nonetheless, Ballard tried to launch a solo career following her dismissal from the group, but after two singles that failed to chart, ABC Records shelved her album. She took some time off to raise the three children she had between 1968 and 1971. But in 1971, her husband left and her house was foreclosed on. She sued Motown for additional royalties but lost. Fewer than ten years after being in the hottest group in country, she was on welfare.
Ballard began drinking heavily and putting on more weight. Her fortunes improved a bit when she won an insurance settlement and was able to buy a small house for her family in Detroit. By 1975, she had reconciled with Diana Ross and was talking about trying to relaunch her singing career.
But years of hard living caught up with her. On February 21, 1976, she died from a blood clot in one of her arteries.
Stevie Wonder, The Four Tops, Mary Wilson and Diana Ross all came to Detroit's New Bethel Baptist Church to pay tribute to the founder one of the most important acts of the 1960s.
Years later, when Jennifer Hudson won the Oscar for her role in Dreamgirls, a movie inspired by The Supremes, she dedicated her award to Florence Ballard, "who never got a chance." An overstatement, perhaps, but one which captures the sadness behind one of the more tragic tales of the Motown era.

DALLAS, Texas - After claiming slugfests in the first two games of
the series, the Creighton baseball squad grinded out a 3-1 over Dallas Baptist
on Sunday, Feb. 17 to claim the series sweep.
Creighton moved to 3-0 in 2013, while Dallas Baptist fell to 0-3. It
is the first series sweep for Creighton since the Jays took the first three
games from Central Arkansas to open the 2012 season.
Trailing 1-0 in the bottom of the fifth, senior Mark Winkelman
came on from the pen with runners at first and second and just one out.
Winkelman walked the first man he faced to load the bases, but worked out of
the jam by inducing a force out and retiring former Husker Boomer Collins on
strikes to end the threat.
Winkelman's rush of emotion carried over to the Jays' bats as Creighton
promptly grabbed the lead with two runs in the top of the sixth. Junior Brad McKewon
legged out a double to right field to open the frame. McKewon went to
third on an errant pickoff attempt, then junior Federico
Castagnini drew a walk to put runners at the corners.
Sophomore Jake Peter
slapped an RBI single up the middle to tie the game and send Castagnini to
third. One out later, senior Alex Staehely
drove home Castagnini on a single to left to give Creighton a 2-1 lead.
The Jays added an insurance run in the eighth on an RBI double from
Staehely, but that proved to be more than Winkelman needed as the left-hander
held the Patriots scoreless for the final 4.2 to earn his first win (1-0) of
Winkelman allowed just four hits and two walks in 4.2 innings, recording
three strikeouts to earn the victory. Dallas Baptist's Cory Taylor took
the loss, surrendering two runs on four hits and one walk in five innings of
Bluejay starter, freshman Matt Warren,
allowed one run on three hits in four innings. Staehely finished the game
3-for-3 with two RBI, while Peter was 3-for-5 with an RBI and a run scored.
The Bluejays return to action on Friday, Feb. 22 in the YMBL Cardinal
Classic, hosted by Lamar University, in Beaumont, Texas. The Jays open
the tournament against Washington at 2 p.m., then face Lamar at 6 p.m.

Mosley, second on the Demons' team in 2011-12 with an 11.7 scoring average, led the Southland in rebounding (9.5 per game, 32nd nationally) and blocked shots (4.1, second nationally). His 460 career blocks leave him ahead of Alonzo Mourning in fifth place on the NCAA career blocks list. Mosley led the nation as a junior with a 4.9 average.

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate
Last week I heard or read three things that bothered me a great deal.
The first was a proposal by a state legislator to eliminate reporters from the house floor. He claims that reporters bother legislators so they can't do their jobs, yet what goes on in the big room at the state capitol is a public meeting and should be open to those the bring information to the people.
The second was a full page ad in the Salt Lake Tribune that a group took out asking that people work for legislation that will clean up language, sex, etc. on television, in movies and in music. They want obscenity done away with.
Third I sat through a meeting last week where proposals were put forth to eliminate smoking from outdoor venues (or at least make a place where tobacco users are restricted to practicing their habit) in the county.
Certainly all these areas need discussion. I know reporters who will butt in on the middle of conversation with someone because they "need their story." I also see things on television and movies that I dislike or think are over the top. And I personally, being a non-smoker, except for a couple of smelly cigars I smoke a year in my garage where I won't bother anyone, don't like people pumping smoke in my face or seeing chewing tobacco laying all over the place either.
But let's face it; there are a lot of things other people do that I don't like. If the world could be run the way I think it should be run it would be a perfect place, or at least perfect for me.
It's the old story of does my right to make a fist end where your chin begins. I just worry a lot when people start to want to take away others rights.
Do we have the right to regulate what others may hear or see because we feel it is wrong? I am against all censorship, because to be honest, once it begins it doesn't know where to stop.
And public officials should be open for scrutiny whenever they are in a public meeting
As for smokers, isn't it bad enough that we have made them stand out in the parking lot at work to smoke when it's 10 degrees outside?
Let us all think long and hard before we limit what others can do.

Comments about Mens OluKai Ohana Sandals Shoe:
Had a pair of Reef sandals for the last year, and I'm sorry I waited that long to replace them, because these OluKais are waaaaay more comfortable and actually provide some arch support. The deck is a real comfortable surface for the soles of my feet too, better than bumpy plastic like on many sleepahs. They're a little spendy but I think in this case worth the money

Comments about Mens OluKai Ohana Sandals Shoe:
Purchased my first pair in Hawaii and they were all black and instantly feel in love with them. This shoe gives you all day support and comfort and goes well with just about anything. May consider 1/2 size larger.
Best Uses
Comments about Mens OluKai Ohana Sandals Shoe:
Love the look and feel to these sandals but the arches are extremely high. You feel like your standing on a bump directly under your arches. Also feels like when you walk on sand. Way too much pressure on my flatter feet. Probably wouldn't be a problem with high arches but definitely a nuisance for flat feet.

Comments about Mens OluKai Ohana Sandals Shoe:
I was looking for a comfortable pair of flip flops to wear post-run. I was tired of the cheapo's and wanted something very comfortable and with good arch support. These are fantastic. After my 18 mile run today, my feet feel wonderful recovering wearing these.

Comments about Mens OluKai Ohana Sandals Shoe:
First, let's just say I've never been a fan of flip-flops. Tried this on one day on a whim and didn't want to take them off. They are truly the most comfortable shoes I own and for "non tragically hip" guy like me they are stylish enough to make me look good! The kicker is that being forced to wear orthotics in all my other shoes these shoes are perfect, wish they made orthotic foot beds like these - I would definitely buy them.

Still a good buy seven years later
Pros: Extremely lightweight, comfortable, and portable; smooth and enjoyable sound
Cons: Quite dark, rolled-off treble, bloated low end
The PX100s were the second decent portable headphone I bought after the KSC75s, a silky-smooth contrast to the shiny, aggressive sound of the Koss clip-ons. This particular review was written when I was very new to the world of Head-Fi but in general I stand by it.Build Quality: Designed to be portable, the PX100s fold beautifully into a tiny package and fit into the included plastic carrying case. Despite the multi-jointed folding mechanism, they feel rather solid and sturdy. The metal headband is both tough and flexible and there's a feel of quality to the whole construction – every motion they make feels controlled one as the joints click smoothly into place. I expected them to be...(read more)

Racing will continue for a few more weeks at each of the three area DIRT tracks, but for two of them, tonight is the final time drivers will have a chance to earn any points.
Both the Can-Am Motorsports Park and the Mohawk International Raceway will decide their division champions tonight, while Evans Mills Speedway still has a few more weeks left in its season.
Its funny how (drivers) all say they are not racing for points, but when it comes down to it, they all argue for points, they all race for points, Can-Ams general manager Chip Burdick said.
With one night left, Brandon Hagan holds a 20-point lead over Taylor Caprara in the sportsman division. It would take a bad finish by Hagan and an excellent finish by Caprara to win the title.
The situation is similar in Can-Ams prostreet and late-model divisions. Sid Harmer Jr. leads David Rogers, 736-712, in prostreet, and Charlie Sandercock has a 746-726 lead over Billy Eisele in late models.
The thunder car division is essentially decided as Ray Bechler leads O.J. White, 650-604. Rich Rainville leads Matt Rainville, 212-190, in mod lites, and Matt Zira has a 406-374 lead in thunder stocks.
Mohawk International Raceway also features a few divisions where the leader should be safe unless he has a poor night.
Billy Dunn leads the modified division with 573 points. Chris Raabe is second with 554 and Carey Terrance is third with 548. Corey Wheeler leads Dylan Evoy, 514-495, in the sportsman division.
One division thats really too close to decide is prostock, where Stephane Lebrun has a 410-403 edge over Roch Aubin heading into the final night. Jean Marc LaRose has wrapped up the bandit division with a 54-point edge, but Joel Hargrave is only 12 points ahead of Mathieu Robinson in the mod lites.
Evans Mills, which races on Saturdays, still has a few weeks of points left, but Jordan McCreadie has a 602-564 lead over Murray Walts in the modified division.
The trucks division at Evans Mills is the closest in the area, with Trevor Halladay only two points ahead of Zac Strough (608-606).
Jon Williams is 125 points ahead in the thunder stocks division, and Tim Dunn holds a 54-point margin in the sport compact division.
Chris Zieren leads Taylor Doxtater, 612-572, in the legends division, and Dalton Rombough is in third with 566 points. Tristan Baez has an 18-point lead over Sam Warren in the junior division and Ray Bancroft holds a 52-point edge in super stocks.
The points may end this weekend in two tracks, but there will still be some big events in the upcoming weeks.
Can-Am will have two of the highest-paying sportsman races outside of Super DIRT week in Syracuse.
The winner on Sept. 6 will earn $2,500 and, on the 13th, the winner will claim $3,000. A typical sportsman payday at the track is $750.
Mohawk International Raceway will have events on Sept. 13 and 14, and a 100-lap enduro race on Sept. 21.

|Prosecutors say Black received $500,000 from lobbyist
|Written by Lauren Ohnesorge
|Tuesday, 10 July 2007 20:00
According to federal prosecutors, former House Speaker
Jim Black received $500,000 from an unidentified lobbyist for his 2000
Prosecutors say this is a violation of state election laws. The
accusation came out earlier this week and alleged Black received the check in
June of 2000. The money was deposited directly into his campaign account. Black
then wrote a check from his campaign account for the same amount back to the
lobbyist. Prosecutors say Black soon made another $500,000 deposit into his
campaign account, reporting it in his filings as a personal loan. In February, Black pleaded guilty to a
felony charge for taking money from chiropractors while promoting their
industry's agenda in the General Assembly. Black is expected to be sentenced
today in a federal court.

The Blade Itself (The First Law: Book One)by Joe Abercrombie
Staff Pick
I will freely admit that I love dark fantasy, and this is dark fantasy. If you're looking for a series that isn't G-rated like so may fantasy stories are, this is it. The usual fantasy character types are present, but how they play their roles is very different. From the first magi who isn't a nice doddering old man, to the northern barbarian who is actually a barbarian, to the nobleman hero who acts like a self-centered nobleman, the characters actually act like real people. All the characters are as flawed as anyone. The story isn't what you would expect. The action is fast paced and realistic, and gives you a feeling that the author may have actually been in a fight or at the very least studied a martial path. The book is well written and gives the impression that deep thought went into the moral dilemmas faced by characters. I can't wait to read more by Joe Abercrombie. I would recommend The Blade Itself to any fantasy fan, especially those who like Steven Erikson or George R. R. Martin.
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Logen Ninefingers, infamous barbarian, has finally run out of luck. Caught up in one feud too many, he's on the verge of becoming a dead barbarian, leaving nothing behind but some bad songs, a few dead friends, and a lot of happy enemies.
Nobleman, dashing officer, and paragon of selfishness, Captain Jezal dan Luthar has nothing more dangerous in mind than fleecing his friends at cards and dreaming of glory in the fencing circle. But war is brewing, and on the battlefields of the frozen North they fight by altogether bloodier rules.
Inquisitor Glokta, cripple turned torturer, would like nothing better than to see Jezal come home in a jar. But then Glokta hates everyone: cutting treason out of the Union one confession at a time leaves little room for friendships. His latest trail of corpses may lead him right to the rotten heart of government...if he can stay alive long enough to follow it.
Murderous conspiracies rise to the surface, old scores are ready to be settled, and the line between hero and villain is sharp enough to draw blood. Unpredictable, compelling, wickedly funny, and packed with unforgettable characters, The Blade Itself is fantasy with a real cutting edge.
"British newcomer Abercrombie fills his muddled sword-and-sorcery series opener with black humor and reluctant heroes. Logen Ninefingers, a barbarian on the run from an ex-employer who's now king of the North, finds his loyalties complicated when he switches sides and becomes a valuable source of intel to the beleaguered Union. Glokta, a torture victim turned torturer, gets roped into securing the Union's position against both the invading Northmen and the incompetent Union king and council, and ruthlessly wields his skills in attempts to weed out traitors. Foppish Jezal, a preternaturally excellent swordsman, manages to win the contest to become the Union champion, thanks to a little help from Bayaz, a mage with his own agenda. The workmanlike plot, marred by repetitive writing and an excess of torture and pain, is given over to introducing the mostly unlikable characters, only to send them off on separate paths in preparation for the next volume's adventures. (Sept.)" Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
"Delightfully twisted and evil...for once the novel comes close to living up to its publisher's hype." The Guardian (U.K.)
"An admirably hard, fast and unpretentious read...packs a mean punch in the bloodthirsty mayhem and mystery departments." SFX
"You'd never guess that The Blade Itself is Joe Abercrombie's debut novel. He writes like a natural. There are great characters, sparky dialogue, an action-packed plot...a cheeky, vivid, exhilarating ride." Starburst
"The Blade Itself is a page-turner powered by a combination of gritty, fast-paced action and juicy doses of cynicism." Edge Magazine
"Fans of character-driven epics who are willing to take their heroes with a grain of moral ambiguity should add this novel to their 'must read' list....[A] smartly-written, sophisticated debut with compelling characters, a complex plot, and style to burn." Strange Horizons
"An extremely impressive debut...and in Joe Abercrombie it brings us a writer who oozes promise. This is surely a novel as sharp as its title." SFRevu
"In addition to excellent characterizations and fascinating world-building, Abercrombie also writes the best fight scenes I have read in ages. I'm glad the whole package is good, but I could happily recommend The Blade Itself for the fight scenes alone." SFSite
Unpredictable, compelling, wickedly funny, and packed with unforgettable characters, The Blade Itself is noir fantasy with a real cutting edge.

Midwest Living Review
The sophisticated Iron Horse Hotel, located in a former furniture manufacturing plant, has preserved many of the building's original elements, including the floorboards and steel fire doors. Bikers and business people alike will feel at home here, as well as any travelers looking for a superb, subtly sexy (the concierge desk is called the Office of Desires), grown-up boutique hotel. The motorcycle theme is definitely noticeable, but not so strong that nonbikers will feel out of place. But the hotel does offer a bike wash, covered bike parking, motorcycle shipping and rentals, Thursday bike nights and coat hooks strong enough to actually hold the weight of leathers.
Luxurious, oversize rooms blend historical elements, such as exposed brick walls and timbers, with sleek, modern metals, tile, leather and glass. Colors tend toward a warm, natural palette of slate, brown and russet. All 100 rooms feature free Wi-Fi, walk-in double shower and a larger-than-usual fridge stocked with normal-size bottles of beer, wine and liquor. The Iron Horse is also dog-friendly. Throughout the hotel, you'll spot artwork by Milwaukee artists (sepia-tone murals, aluminum wall sculpture, mixed media). Great food options include highly acclaimed Smyth, The Library for breakfast, Branded (home to what's considered Milwaukee's best bar food) and The Yard, an outdoor lounge and bar. Guests can also dine in-room. From $249.

How We Decideby Jonah Lehrer
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
From the acclaimed author of Proust Was a Neuroscientist, a fascinating look at the new science of decision-making and how it can help us make better choices. Since Plato, philosophers have described the decisionmaking process as either rational or emotional: we carefully deliberate or we blink and go with our gut. But as scientists break open the mind's black box with the latest tools of neuroscience, they're discovering that this is not how the mind works.
Our best decisions are a finely tuned blend of both feeling and reason — and the precise mix depends on the situation. When buying a house, for example, it's best to let our unconscious mull over the many variables. But when we're picking a stock, intuition often leads us astray. The trick is to determine when to lean on which part of the brain, and to do this, we need to think harder (and smarter) about how we think. Jonah Lehrer arms us with the tools we need, drawing on cutting-edge research by Daniel Kahneman, Colin Camerer, and others, as well as the real-world experiences of a wide range of deciders — from airplane pilots and hedge fund investors to serial killers and poker players.
Lehrer shows how people are taking advantage of the new science to make better television shows, win more football games, and improve military intelligence. His goal is to answer two questions that are of interest to just about anyone, from CEOs to firefighters: How does the human mind make decisions? And how can we make those decisions better?
"What is going on in the brain of a pilot deciding how to handle an emergency or a man trying to escape a wildfire? Does reason or emotion rule our decision making? Seed magazine editor-at-large Lehrer (Proust Was a Neuroscientist) brings recent research in neurobiology to life as he shows that the view, dating back to Plato, of the decision-making brain as a charioteer (reason) trying to control wild horses (emotions) comes up short. As Lehrer describes in fluid prose, the brain's reasoning centers are easily fooled, often making judgments based on nonrational factors like presentation (a sales pitch or packaging). And Lehrer cites a study of investors given varying amounts of financial data to show that our inner charioteer also can be confused by too much information. Even more surprisingly, research shows that 'gut instinct' often does make better decisions than long, drawn-out reasoning, and people with impaired emotional responses have trouble coping with the decisions required in everyday life. Lehrer is a delight to read, and this is a fascinating book (some of which appeared recently, in a slightly different form, in the New Yorker) that will help everyone better understand themselves and their decision making." Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
"Should we go with instinct or analysis? The answer, Lehrer explains, in this smart and delightfully readable book, is that it depends on the situation. Knowing which method works best in which case is not just useful but fascinating. Lehrer proves once again that hes a master storyteller and one of the best guides to the practical lessons from new neuroscience." Chris Anderson, editor in chief of Wired and author of The Long Tail
"Cash or credit? Punt or go for first down? Deal or no deal? Life is filled with puzzling choices. Reporting from the frontiers of neuroscience and armed with riveting case studies of how pilots, quarterbacks, and others act under fire, Jonah Lehrer presents a dazzlingly authoritative and accessible account of how we make decisions, what's happening in our heads as we do so, and how we might all become better deciders. Luckily, this one's a no-brainer: Read this book." Tom Vanderbilt, author of Traffic: Why We Drive the Way We Do (and What It Says About Us)
"Over the past two decades, research in neuroscience and behavioral economics has revolutionized our understanding of human decision making. Jonah Lehrer brings it all together in this insightful and enjoyable book, giving readers the information they need to make the smartest decisions." Antonio Damasio, author of Descartes Error and Looking for Spinoza
"Jonah Lehrer ingeniously weaves neuroscience, sports, war, psychology, and politics into a fascinating tale of human decision making. In the process, he makes us much wiser." Dan Ariely, author of Predictably Irrational
From the acclaimed author of Proust Was a Neuroscientist comes a fascinating look at the new science of decision-making. Lehrer explores two questions: How does the human mind make decisions? and How can those decisions be made better?
About the Author
Jonah Lehrer is editor at large for Seed magazine and the author of Proust Was a Neuroscientist (2007) and How We Decide (February 2009). A graduate of Columbia University and a Rhodes Scholar, Lehrer has worked in the lab of Nobel Prize-winning neuroscientist Eric Kandel and has written for The New Yorker, Wired, Boston Globe, Washington Post, and Nature, and writes a highly regarded blog, The Frontal Cortex. Lehrer also commentates for NPR's "Radio Lab."

EDF Energy is one of the largest electricity generators and suppliers in the UK. They produce around one-fifth of the UK's electricity from a variety of sources, including combined heat and power plants and wind farms, as well as the more traditional methods.
To compare all energy suppliers including EDF Energy's prices and find the cheapest tariff for you enter your post code in the box. To learn more, keep reading:
2014 Customer Satisfaction Awards
EDF Energy came fourth (or second of the big six) in the 2014 edition and increased its Customer Service satisfaction by 8% - more than any other supplier.
Who are EDF Energy?
EDF Energy was created in 2003, five years after French energy company EDF Group (Électricité de France) bought Seeboard, London Energy and SWEB Energy.
EDF Energy customer satisfaction scores
The results of our 2014 customer satisfaction awards:
This survey was conducted by YouGov between 17th and 27th October 2014 amongst 5,262 UK energy consumers (aged 18+). Customers were asked their opinions on a wide range of issues relating to satisfaction with their energy suppliers. The figures have been weighted.
Recent price changes and where EDF Energy rank
In late January 2015, EDF Energy announced that it drop the price of its dual fuel standard plans by 1.3%, effective 11 February.
They were the final of the big six to announce a price cut in 2015, and it brought the cost of their standard dual fuel plan down to £1,155 — a cut of £9 a year.
EDF Energy prices went up by 3.9% on the 3 January 2014, for the company's gas and electricity customers. The energy supplier was the fifth of the big six to announce price hikes and primarily blamed a combination of rising distribution charges, smart meter installation costs and renewable obligations, for the increase.
The table below shows which of the big six energy suppliers, including EDF Energy, last raised and dropped their prices, and when:
|Date effective
|Avg price change (%)
|Avg bill size*
|Jan 3 2014
|13 Jan 2015
|19 Jan 2015
|20 Jan 2015
|30 April 2015
|16 Feb 2015
*Based on a medium energy user on a standard dual fuel tariff, paying on receipt of bill, with bill sizes averaged across all regions.
How does EDF Energy generate its energy?
EDF Energy's fuel mix from 1 April 2013 to 31 March 2014.
- 28.6%Coal
- 56.1%Nuclear
- 13.5%Green
- 1.8%Other
Average from all UK suppliers
- 34% Coal
- 25.6% Gas
- 21% Nuclear
- 16%Green
- 2% Other
Green (renewable) energy is from sources such as wind, solar and hydro-electric.
Why we like EDF Energy
In total, EDF Energy supply energy to around 5.5 million customers, both businesses and households, making it the nation's largest supplier of electricity by volume.
EDF Energy, as well as being one of the biggest energy suppliers in the UK overall, is also the UK's biggest producer of low-carbon electricity.
EDF Energy produce around one-fifth of the UK's electricity from a variety of sources, including combined heat and power plants and wind farms, as well as the more traditional gas, coal and nuclear power stations.
EDF Energy operate eight nuclear power plants across the UK, which helps make it the largest low-carbon producer.
The company also plans to build up to four more nuclear power plants in future, which could help to generate 40% of the low-carbon electricity, if built.
EDF Energy was the energy and sustainability partner of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic games.

Upcoming games: Jets, January 24, 7:00 p.m.; All Star Weekend in Ottawa (January 26-29)
Winnipeg Jets (50 points, 10th place, 22-20-6)
The Rangers are 2-0 against the Jets this season. They won 2-1 in Winnipeg back in October and 3-0 on November 6 at Madison Square Garden. The Jets were defeated 4-3 in a shootout against the Florida Panthers on Saturday. Forward Nik Antropov scored two goals while Alexander Burmistrov netted the game-tying goal in the third period to help the Jets to overtime for a point. Antropov has five points in his last three games. The former Ranger with a knack for listlessness was recently fined $2,500 by the NHL on Friday for boarding Buffalo defenseman T.J. Brennan on Thursday night. Winger Blake Wheeler leads the team with 33 points and a +7 while the youthful Evander Kane has netted 18 goals. Wheeler recently returned to the lineup after a scary neck injury sent him to the hospital and kept him out for a couple of games. After a Petr Sykora slapshot, the puck slammed him near the throat in a game against the Devils last week. The captain Andrew Ladd leads by example with hardworking chip-ins on ice and has scored 16 goals on the season, four of which being game winners. Goaltender Ondrej Pavelec has been shaky at best. He is 16-16-6 with a 2.83 goals against average. They are 3-6-1 in their last ten games and 7-12-1 on the road.
All Star Weekend in Ottawa (January 26-29)
Goaltender Henrik Lundqvist was named assistant captain to Daniel Alfredsson's team and will help him select the players from the fantasy draft on Thursday night. He'll be able to coax him into selecting Ranger teammates Dan Girardi and Marian Gaborik, also named to the All Star player pool. Coach John Tortorella will coach Team Alfredsson along with Todd McLellan of the San Jose Sharks.
All Star Player Fantasy Draft, January 26, 8:00 p.m.

Breaking news: During his State of the Union speech tonight, President Obama is expected to announce he will seek to launch a plan that would allow workers whose employers don't offer retirement plans to invest money for retirement, tax deferred, in Treasury bonds; the employees could eventually convert those savings to traditional IRAs. Read more in our Encore blog.
It's not quite lambs to slaughter, but it might as well be.
In 2012, about 3 million American workers rolled over some $289 billion from their employer-sponsored retirement plans into an IRA or into their new employer's retirement plan, according to Cerulli Associates, a Boston-based research firm.
The bulk of that money — $ 204 billion, with an average account balance of $128,400 — went into IRAs controlled by financial advisers.
Next, about $85 billion, with an average account balance of $53,900, went into a self-directed IRAs. And the balance, $1 billion with an average account balance $91,000, was rolled into a new employer's plan, according to Cerulli Associates.
And when it comes to IRAs, we are not talking small potatoes: IRAs accounted for about 28% of all U.S. retirement assets, which totaled $19.5 trillion at the end of 2012. And for the record, this market is only going to get bigger. By 2017, Americans will roll an estimated $451 billion into IRAs, making this an $8 trillion marketplace, according to Cerulli Associates.
Given that amount of money, and all that could wrong, the nation's top regulators and watchdogs, including the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (Finra), the Labor Department, and even the Government Accountability Office (GAO), are putting financial firms and advisers on notice: Do right by retirement savers with their IRA rollovers.
Participants generally have four options when leaving their employer-sponsored plan:
- They can leave the money in the former employer's plan, if permitted;
- Roll over the assets to a new employer's plan, if one is available and rollovers are permitted;
- Roll over the assets into an IRA;
- or cash out the account value.
Deciding what to do isn't easy. What's more, the decision is made even more difficult when the very people from whom one might seek counsel provide misleading or inaccurate or conflicted advice.
GAO finds room for improvement with IRA rollovers
Consider: In its study, released last March, the GAO found that "plan participants often receive guidance and marketing favoring IRAs when seeking assistance regarding what to do with their 401(k) plan savings when they separate from their employers."
The GAO also found that service providers' call center representatives encouraged rolling 401(k) plan savings into an IRA even with only minimal knowledge of a caller's financial situation. "Participants may also interpret information about their plans' service providers' retail investment products contained in their plans' educational materials as suggestions to choose those products," the GAO wrote in its report.
What's more, the Labor Dept.'s current requirements do not sufficiently assist participants in understanding the financial interests that service providers may have in participants' distribution and investment decisions, the GAO said.
And, the GAO wrote at the time, 401(k) plan participants separating from their employers may find it difficult to understand and compare all their distribution options. "Information participants currently receive is either too generic and without detail, leaving participants without understanding of the key factors they need to know to make decisions about their savings, or too long and technical, leaving participants overwhelmed and confused," the GAO wrote.
And if all that wasn't bad enough, the GAO wrote at the time that the Labor Dept.'s regulations do not ensure that 401(k) plans provide complete and timely information to participants on all their distribution options.
What's needed, the GAO wrote, is this: The Labor Department and IRS should take certain steps to reduce obstacles and disincentives to plan-to-plan rollovers. And, the Labor Dept. should also ensure that participants receive complete and timely information, including enhanced disclosures, about the distribution options for their 401(k) plan savings when separating from an employer. Read 401(k) Plans: Labor and IRS Could Improve the Rollover Process for Participants.
Finra warns brokers about IRA rollovers
Fast forward to last month: Finra reminded the firms it regulates about their responsibilities when 1) recommending a rollover or transfer of assets in an employer-sponsored retirement plan to an IRA or 2) marketing IRAs and associated services.
In short, the Finra warned financial professionals against persuading clients to roll over balances from employer-sponsored retirement accounts into IRAs if the client would receive a greater benefit from leaving the money where it is.
"Firms should emphasize that performance of the suitability responsibilities of a broker-dealer or registered representatives should never be compromised by their financial interest in recommending an IRA rollover or another action," Finra said in a regulatory notice. Read Rollovers to Individual Retirement Accounts.
In its notice, the Finra said an adviser's "recommendation to roll over plan assets to an IRA rather than keeping assets in a previous employer's plan or rolling over to a new employer's plan should reflect consideration of various factors, the importance of which will depend on an investor's individual needs and circumstances." And some of the factors include investment options, fees and expenses, services, penalty-free withdrawals, protection from creditors and legal judgments, and required minimum distributions, and employer stock.
What's more, the Finra noted that brokerage firms must make sure that "conflicts of interest do not impair the judgment of a registered representative or another associated person about what is in the customer's interest and that they neither confuse investors nor interfere with important educational efforts." According to the Finra, firms and their registered representatives that recommend an investor roll over plan assets to an IRA may earn commissions or other fees as a result. In contrast, a recommendation that an investor leave his plan assets with his old employer or roll the assets to a plan sponsored by a new employer likely results in little or no compensation for a firm or a registered representative.
And, the Finra said brokerage firms must ensure that a registered representative who recommends a rollover to an IRA has been properly trained concerning retirement savings options and the tax, investment and other implications of the decision.
SEC to crack down on IRA rollovers too

Two-time Academy Award® winner Ron Howard teams once again with fellow two-time Academy Award® nominee, writer Peter Morgan on RUSH, a spectacular big-screen re-creation of the merciless 1970s rivalry between James Hunt and Niki Lauda.
The epic action-drama stars Chris Hemsworth as the charismatic Englishman James Hunt and Daniel Brühl as the disciplined Austrian perfectionist Niki Lauda, whose clashes on the Grand Prix racetrack epitomized the contrast between these two extraordinary characters, a distinction reflected in their private lives.
Set against the sexy and glamorous golden age of Formula 1 racing, RUSH portrays the exhilarating true story of two of the greatest rivals the world has ever witnessed--handsome English playboy Hunt and his methodical, brilliant opponent, Lauda. Taking us into their personal lives on and off the track, RUSH follows the two drivers as they push themselves to the breaking point of physical and psychological endurance, where there is no shortcut to victory and no margin for error. If you make one mistake, you die.

Artist K. Roth Birnew (Mike O'Connell) is dying of a vague, grave disease that is almost as grave in it's vagueness as it is vague in it's graveness.

As I heard it, the MacKenzies' "Great White North" segments on SCTV (which inspired the movie) were originally created to show in the states, where the show had a slightly longer running time than in Canada, due to programming or commercial break factors. It was like a bond for us S.Cans to our comrades also in the great northern forest, just across the silly line in the map or just over the big waters. Although I have spent many years in "the semi-dixie south" as I consider central Illinois, it still only takes a nostalgic thought or a moment of hearing a northern accent to break my flat-pan midwest affectations and put me back into my old accent, don'cha know? I met a guy from Detroit who categorized me as "probably a Bay City guy" in 2 minutes without knowing anything else about me. I'm seriously considering moving to Marquette in the Yoop in Auntie ,

Friday, June 28
Chicago Fire U-16s vs. De Anza Force U-16s - 9:00am CT; LIVE on @ChiFireMatch
The Chicago Fire U16 and U18 Academy sides as well as the U18 Indiana Fire Academy learned their groups for next week's U.S. Soccer Federation Development Academy National Playoffs set to be held in Dallas, Texas earlier Monday.
UPDATE! U.S. Soccer then realized they had made a mistake with the drawings and held a re-draw for both age groups. Below are the updated groupings for the Chicago Fire U16, U18 and Indiana Fire Academy U18 side...
- Chicago Fire U18s are in Group 1 with Vancouver Whitecaps FC, Houston Dynamo and PA Classics
- Indiana Fire Academy U18s are in Group 7 with Baltimore Bays Chelsea, Chivas USA and De Anza Force (CA)
- Chicago Fire U16s are in Group 1 with De Anza Force (CA), Georgia United and Arsenal FC (CA)
With the USSFDA now into the fourth season of their current playoff format, the Fire Academy is one of just four clubs (out of 80) to see both U16 and U18 sides qualify for the National Playoffs every year.
They're joined by FC Dallas, CASL (NC) and Concorde Fire (GA) as the four clubs with the current distinction.
The USSFDA National Playoffs feature eight groups of four teams in a round-robin format with the winners of each group advancing to the July's national finals in Houston, Texas.
Earlier Draw, now null and void:
The Chicago Fire U18 side has been paired in Group 4 with Real Salt Lake (AZ), Dallas Texans and Weston FC (FL) while the Indiana Fire U18s join Vancouver Whitecaps, Pateadores (CA) and Kendall SC (FL) in Group 1.
The Chicago Fire U16s were drawn into Group 3 with PDA (NJ), Colorado Rapids and Revolution Empire (NY).
We here at Always on the Inside like seeing nice goals. We like it even more when nice goals are scored by product's of the club's player development system.
Back in October, original Fire homegrown Victor Pineda hit a stunning strike in Reserve League play vs. Houston which led to him making his travel roster for a league game.
Today, we take a trip in the way back machine to two days ago when Fire U-16 Academy striker Luca Giovine hit an absolute blinder in the 66th minute to give the side a 2-0 lead over Portland Timbers at the U.S. Soccer Development Academy Showcase in Lakewood Ranch, Fla. Giovine would also assist on the third goal from Alex Underwood to give the Fire a 3-0 win over Portland.
Certainly the team highlight at the showcase was going 3-0-0 and defeating two MLS Academies, Giovine's second second strike of the three-game set takes individual honors.
Watch below (at the 44 second mark)....

Either way this ends up going, there would have to be quite a majority of former LJR members doing the same thing for it to be anywhere near as successful as LJR.
First off Cloverm thanks for your hard work. We really appreciate it.
As for me I am totally turned off by the results of the site merger. Not happy with it. I am not sure if I am the only one. There is banners galore on this. And it doesnt have the same look at all.
I vote for someone of US hosting this and all contributing for hosting. We NEVER wanted this site to be commercialized.
If no one steps forward I can help as much as I can.
Hope we can figure something out. But I hope this is democracy and we can get what we want. If nothing else this might be my time to leave.
If I'm the only one feeling this way I am quietly leave. Thanks for you all being a huge part of my life. Thanks for everything.

Yeah, the ads are a big turn off for me too. I'd have hoped to keep LJR the way it was but it wasn't ours and I guess our contribution wasn't appreciated by the way it was just thrown at our face.
Although I'm not sure we should just run leave and start a new site but I'm not totally discounting that idea either.
Count me in if you ever want to start a site without any crappy commercials. I will help out as much as I can.
LinuxVillage - The truely community run Linux/Floss forum !
No IT BS !!
I has been okay for me - besides getting used to the layout. It seems that even ljr had a few ads (a walmart one iir). and i know lno did. they are other site with no ads... perhaps we can each pay up for one month of hostling like we did in the early days of ljr...
telnet mtrek.game-host.org 1701
I see no banner ads! I do, however, see text ads. Small price to pay for not being asked for a cent for a place to hang out. I agree, some things irk me about the transition, but what a great thanks for Peter's hard work.
Membership dues? wasn't that tried before? How well did that work? I'll tell you what will happen with that:
Constant bugging members for dues while a small few bear the burden. Someone has to have the nasty duty of asking for money. I've seen it rip apart an otherwise tight knit group. Honor system? Forget it. It will regress into someone taking the entire burden.
What is needed is someone who just accepts taking on the whole thing themselves, asking for no money, OR someone who can arrange for a way for the site to support itself, and still does the bulk of the work.
No hard feelings towards anyone who's not happy, but don't make it a slap to the face of a decent fellow.
My 2 cents:
I personally don't have anything against OpenFree or Peter. I think it was very nice of him to take the forum.
However, I echo some of the statements other have mentioned. I'm not very concerned about ads and stuff. However, I am more concerned about the forum identity.
Again, this is not a personal attack against Peter or OpenFree. However, I am not sure that the goals of both forums are the same. LJr was a place to hang out as well as a support forum. That's why there were no ads, and certain things like karma, avatars and the LJr logo were important to us.
I wish we had a say on how the forum transition was done, but we didn't. Though luck. Nothing that can be done about that. I am willing to give OpenFree a chance, even though I have my issues with it. However, I came to LJr because of the community. There are tons of other support forums around I could go to, but none had the community I liked. My point is that, if the LJr community becomes fragmented (again) LJr, or what's left of it, will die.
Again, I am willing to give OpenFree a chance, and I wish you guys would. But if it doesn't work, I have a hosting arrangement already made and I am willing to host LJr as close to what it was as possible. However, keep in mind that the LJr name and the database with all the posts belong to Cloverm, and now to Peter. Without their cooperation (which I assume would be unlikely to be received, since Peter already has put a lot of effort on the integration of the forums) it would be a blank slate, starting from scratch.
What do all the other LJr members think?
My crime is that of curiosity. My crime is that of judging people by what they say and think, not what they look like. My crime is that of outsmarting you, something that you will never forgive.
I really have nothing wrong with openfree. I'm sure the community will be as nice a the one we have. And YES, I stayed in ljr because I didn't like the LQ community, not because any other reasons. Of course, I miss the avatars and karma, but I really can live without it. Text banners do not annoy me. I will get used to a new interface.
Remember I'm young in age so maybe that'll explain my opinion.
I agree with trickster, we all should give OpenFree a chance.
Just my 2 -Cents
Eat your l33t skillz!
My home page: http://www.inter.nl.net/users/alexeif/
I think we are pretty much on the same page. I dont think I could necessarily afford doing the hosting after a while, but if need be, email me and we can discuss this. I do think that we should give Peter a chance. Its been less than a month, and he should be peremitted to have a chance to iron out the little crap. If after a reasonable time drifted by there is no change, improvement or any other appeasement -- THEN we bail. Give the guy a break. I am sure that he didnt expect that the different forums were going to give him as much grief.Originally Posted by tricksterisweak
Agreed! I say we stick it out for a reasonable amount of time. If it becomes unbearable, then we bail. Peter has been especially good about the transition and has put up with a lot of crap from us. It is only right for us to wait it out. Now, if it does become unbearable, I will be more than happy to join up with the rest of the LJr regulars at a different place.
One word of caution, this site will never gain the level of "cool" that LJr had if we all bail too quickly. If we try to be active in this forum, then we will continue on in the spirit of LJr. If we bail, then it will definitely lose the very soul that it once had (i.e. the soul I'm referring to is the one that was made up of the LJr regulars). Without the core members, this site or any other site will not have the special something that LJr had.
As AljoshNL said, just my two Euro-cents.
The one serious conviction that a man should have is that nothing is to be taken too seriously.
Where facts are few, experts are many.
Ok...had some problems getting my account activated here (stupid spam filters), but things seem to be working ok now.
I was reading this thread and thinking "what ads"...turns out my browser has ad blocking I turned it off, and oh yeah there they are. I don't think they're such an issue. They're Google text ads, so they're very inconspicuous. It's not like we're seeing flashing green and yellow ads for online casinos or anything. Besides...I never check out the front page. It's always all about the forums for me.
Karma would definitely be a nice to have. I kind of pride myself on the fact that people like me (for the most part)
The layout and colour scheme are taking some getting used to, but I don't think that will be a big issue.
Now as is to my understanding, there were already people posting in this forum before we got here during the site merger. They are still posting here, yes? I've seen almost exclusively posts from old LJR regulars since the merger announcement. Openfree regulars, where are you all? Come on out and say hello!
Oh and if someone were to start up a competing forum to replace the old LJR, I'd be...iffy about it. I wouldn't mind so much, provided all my old stats like # posts and join date could be transferred. When I left LNO, I had somewhere in the order of 1000 posts. All of those were nuked when I jumped ship to LJR, and I had to start from scratch. Now here I am with 2000-something posts, and I've been hacking away to get this number for the past 5 years. Starting from scratch back in the LNO days was a pissoff, but no big deal given that I was much more active in forums and in linux in general back then. But nowadays I'm a busy man with all kinds of other interests, and the idea of resetting my post count to zero and my join date to tomorrow doesn't really honk my horn. I like the fact that I have 4 digits to my post count, and I like the fact that I've been using this same account for 5 years. To restart from scratch wouldn't really be the same.
