Exelon Nuclear will pay just over $0.5 million to fund local environmental projects around its Braidwood, Byron and Dresden nuclear plants as part of a settlement agreement with the Illinois Attorney General's office.
Warrenville, Illinois – Exelon Nuclear will pay just over $0.5 million to fund local environmental projects around its Braidwood (Braceville, Illinois), Byron (Byron, Illinois) and Dresden (Morris, Illinois) nuclear plants as part of a settlement agreement with the Illinois Attorney General's office, the company announced today.
The half million dollar amount is part of a larger $1.176 million settlement that resolves the notices of violations at each of the plants for Exelon's self-reported tritiated water findings in 2005 and 2006. The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) and Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) have gone on record stating that the tritium concentration levels were never a health or safety issue to the public: IEPA Braidwood Fact Sheet, NRC Braidwood News Release NRC Press Release.
"We're glad that a substantial amount of the settlement will go to our local communities in support of valuable environmental projects," said Exelon's Chief Nuclear Officer Charles Pardee.
Today's settlement calls for the disbursements made by Exelon as follows, with $628,000 in civil penalties and $548,000 in supplemental environmental projects:
In November 2005, Exelon Nuclear identified tritium in groundwater near its Braidwood Station. Following that initial finding, the company launched the first ever companywide comprehensive tritium environmental assessment and established robust environmental monitoring programs at its 11 nuclear plants. In June 2006, the company also began cleaning up groundwater with tritium near its Braidwood Station. To date, more than 90 percent of the tritiated water from the historical releases at that station has been removed.
"We promised the public we'd remediate the tritium that went beyond our plant boundaries. We established a system-wide groundwater monitoring program and kept everyone informed of our progress. We've kept those promises and gained valuable experience that we're using in our environmental management programs," said Pardee.
Exelon hosted more than 50 public meetings and information sessions over the past three years to keep the general public and local, state and federal officials and agencies informed of Exelon's monitoring program and clean-up efforts.
At a national level, the nuclear industry also followed suit in 2006 and established industry guidelines for an environmental and groundwater monitoring program, which is carefully tracked by the NRC.
Tritium is an isotope of hydrogen that produces a very weak level of radiation. It is produced naturally in the upper atmosphere when cosmic rays strike atmospheric gases and is produced in larger quantities as a by-product of the nuclear energy industry. When combined with oxygen, tritium has the same chemical properties as water. Tritium can be found at very low levels in nearly all water sources.
Exelon Corporation is one of the nation's largest electric utilities with approximately $17 billion in annual revenues. The company has one of the industry's largest portfolios of electricity generation capacity, with a nationwide reach and strong positions in the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic. Exelon distributes electricity to approximately 5.4 million customers in northern Illinois and southeastern Pennsylvania and natural gas to approximately 485,000 customers in the Philadelphia area. Exelon is headquartered in Chicago and trades on the NYSE under the ticker EXC.

What happens when you combine the nutty, slightly salty deliciousness of cashews with a light and creamy tart lemon topping? The answer is the perfect springtime dessert. Take advantage of the yummy cashews in Hickory Farms Colossal Cashews Gift Tin to prepare one of our favorite recipes, delicious No Bake Lemon Cashew Squares.
Start by preparing the base
Using a food processor, throw in a handful of your cashews, an equal amount of raw almonds and about 20 Medjool dates, making sure to remove the pits. Pulse the ingredients until you have a nice chop and everything is well mixed. To maintain a good texture, make sure you don't pulse too much.
After your mixture has reached the perfect consistency, add it to your baking dish and push down to spread the fruits and nuts evenly. Then, simply place the base in the freezer.
Make the fluffy whipped topping
To add a burst of cashew flavor, you can incorporate more cashews into the topping. Start by soaking a couple cups of cashews in water for two hours. Then, rinse and drain the nuts. Place the soaked cashews in the food processor, along with lemon zest and lemon juice. To add a hint of the tropics, mix in a bit of coconut nectar and coconut oil. Finish with a vanilla bean flesh and process until smooth. Once you have a nice, fluffy consistency, stir in a can of coconut cream and process again until the mixture is super creamy.
Now that you have your silky topping prepared, simply pour it over the base and place the whole thing in the refrigerator. Let your bars cool overnight, allowing them to solidify a bit. When you're ready to serve, just cut your bars into squares and top with a little sprinkle of chopped cashews.
Whether you're looking for an easy make-ahead dessert for entertaining or a simple weeknight treat for the family, these delicious bars are the perfect choice. With our Colossal Cashews Gift Tin and a delicious recipe, we'll always have your next dessert covered.

NEW YORK (AP) - There's a new PlayStation -- but we can't see it yet.
Sony talked about its upcoming PlayStation 4 console for the first time Wednesday.
Presenters played games that were projected on screens in a converted opera house. But the PlayStations themselves were hidden backstage.
Sony's Jack Tretton says it will be comparable in size and color to previous consoles. Pricing wasn't revealed. But Tretton hints it will come in lower than the PlayStation 3 system when it was introduced in 2006, $500-$600.
Sony says the PS4 will essentially be a "supercharged PC," much like an Xbox. That's a big departure from the old and idiosyncratic PlayStation design and should make it easier for developers to create games.
The new PlayStation should be on the market by the holiday season.

12 U.S. Code § 1735d - Payment of insurance benefits in cash or debentures; borrowing money from Treasury to make payments
(a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this chapter with respect to the payment of insurance benefits, the Secretary is authorized, in his discretion, to pay in cash or in debentures any insurance claim or part thereof which is paid on or after August 10, 1965, on a mortgage or a loan which was insured under any section of this chapter either before or after such date. If payment is made in cash, it shall be in an amount equivalent to the face amount of the debentures that would otherwise be issued plus an amount equivalent to the interest which the debentures would have earned, computed to a date to be established pursuant to regulations issued by the Secretary.
(b) The Secretary is authorized to borrow from the Treasury from time to time such amounts as the Secretary shall determine are necessary
(1) to make payments in cash (in lieu of issuing debentures guaranteed by the United States, as provided in this chapter) pursuant to the provisions of this section, and
(2) to make payments for reinsured and directly insured losses under subchapter IX–C [1] of this chapter: Provided, however, That borrowings to make payments for reinsured and directly insured losses under subchapter IX–C [1] of this chapter shall be limited to $250,000,000 or such further sum as the Congress, by joint resolution, may from time to time determine. Notes or other obligations issued by the Secretary in borrowing under this subsection shall be subject to such terms and conditions as the secretary of the Treasury may prescribe. Each sum borrowed pursuant to this subsection shall bear interest at a rate determined by the Secretary of the Treasury, taking into consideration the average market yield on outstanding marketable obligations of the United States of comparable maturities during the month preceding the issuance of such notes or other obligations.

Comments about Deuter Packs Trans Alpine 30 Backpack:
Most versatile pack I have. I'll use the Deuter Trans Alpine 30 for almost everything biking, hiking, traveling, mountaineering, city trips, snowboarding…even for studying and bringing my laptop to university.
What I especially love is the integrated rain cover. If it wouldn't be attached, I would never prepared for a rain shower. 30 Liters are just enough for an overnight stay, if I don't need that much space I'll compress the Deuter pack. For me it is the best value backpack as you can use it for so many occasions…

how to make a window? actually, the textures menu is a slaughterhouse

CA with <16 slots is nothing.
Exactly what textures are we allowed to use?
Also, ybl is probably asking where a glass texture is located, which is also my predicament.
Last edited by MexicanPadre; 03-26-2013 at 01:16 PM.
yep, glass window. dunno about textures, u mean the magic white border?
also is it possible to make a curtain, half transparent and shoot through, smthng
also what was the babbling about "detail" stuff all the time, didnt get that
map making is a fun, but at some time u really need a theme or smthing (tell me i am not the first who adds more and more and more stuff and finally delete, yea? ) whatever, i go for WWII
CA with <16 slots is nothing.
There is one glass texture in industrial/factory_window_env but it appears a bit thick for what I want it for. I like TaraHadrian's glass better, but I wouldn't use it without his permission.
Oh, sorry for getting that wrong.
There is also ql/flat_glass for glass shaders. For an example on how it looks check out the spectator podiums on Eye To Eye.
Glass shaders are used like this:
1) create a new brush with the size of your window
2) cover the entire brush with the common/nodraw shader
3) apply your glass shader to ONE of the brush surfaces
Regarding something that you can see and shoot through but not walk through, you could use a grate (e.g. base_wall/proto_grate4 or base_wall/proto_fence). They are used the same way as glass shaders.
Regarding detail brushes, just convert anything to detail that does not seal off your map from the void or doesn't form a crucial part of your layout(i.e. anything that does not block lines of sight). Check this thread for more details.
Sorry for the delayed reply.
thx for helping out. the detail stuff turned out to be a performance boost
are there rgb-textures (im using picmip anyway)?
there was a hint of compiling a map with bright light (no need to ad light) iirc, how was that again?
iiuc u cant give a brush a physic (calc) and a texture, but when using a 2d-patch u can only give 1?
any links to sites with maps, textures, skies etc?

found a trick: when u abort the third window, u can still load the map in wolfcam and its all bright
CA with <16 slots is nothing.
cityy, can u make a drag&drop map? i tried to do it, but i know too little

(To purchase a five-year analysis of the Top 100 Health Clubs list, click here.)
Last year when Club Industry released its annual Top 100 Clubs list, merger and acquisition talks in the industry were just starting to brim, although no deals had been consummated at the time. Since the release of that list, a number of deals have come to fruition, the largest of which was the LA Fitness acquisition of 171 clubs from Bally Total Fitness. That deal coincided with a smaller acquisition by Life Time Fitness, which purchased nine clubs from Lifestyle Family Fitness.
So far in 2012, these four club companies have been principal players in other deals. The most recent acquisition news announced last month was that LA Fitness entered into an agreement to purchase the remaining Lifestyle Family Fitness clubs in Florida. That deal had not been completed as of press time. In May, Bally sold 39 of its clubs to Blast Fitness, and in February, Life Time Fitness acquired Atlanta's Racquet Club of the South.
The plethora of deals so far this year will definitely affect the Top 100 Clubs list in 2013. However, even with some of the deals made late last year, this year's Top 100 Clubs list once again resembles its predecessor as the top six club companies remain unchanged. The Top 100 Clubs list ranks club companies by revenue in the previous year and is not intended to rank clubs based on quality or service.
The encouraging news for the industry is that more companies reported double-digit growth percentages this year than last, and six of those increases were for more than 20 percent.
The 2011 revenues for the two largest club companies—24 Hour Fitness and LA Fitness—are based on estimates from sources both inside and outside the club companies. 24 Hour Fitness, San Ramon, CA, reported that it had more than $1 billion and operated more than 400 clubs in 2011, but due to other sources, Club Industry estimates the company's revenue at $1.5 billion in 2011, an increase from $1.352 billion estimated last year, keeping 24 Hour at No. 1 for the ninth consecutive year.
The future of 24 Hour's ownership remains uncertain as the company's private-equity owner, Forstmann Little, faced a June 30 deadline regarding its sale. As The New York Times reported last year, Forstmann Little was contractually required to sell its three remaining assets—including 24 Hour Fitness—and return proceeds to its limited partners by the June 30 deadline. A possible extension of the deadline was not known as of press time.
No. 2 LA Fitness, Irvine, CA, had an estimated $1.2 billion in 2011, up from an estimated $1 billion in 2010. The company reported it had 505 clubs in operation at the end of 2011. Given the announced acquisitions and the number of new club openings by LA Fitness this year, LA Fitness likely will become the market leader in revenue and number of clubs by the end of 2012.
Life Time Fitness, Chanhassen, MN, is No. 3 on this year's Top 100 Clubs list with a reported $1.014 billion in 2011 revenue, the first time the company has surpassed the $1 billion mark. Life Time, a public company that reported $912.8 million at the end of 2010, remains active in terms of growth. This year, Life Time opened a club in the Toronto suburb of Mississauga, Ontario, the company's first club in Canada. It also opened a new club in Tulsa, OK, and held its 100th grand opening for a new club in the Atlanta suburb of Sandy Springs, GA.
Club Corp., Dallas, is No. 4 on this year's list. In June 2011, Club Corp., the owner of upscale sports clubs, golf clubs and country clubs, traded some of its debt for publicly traded debt, which means the company now must file financial statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Club Corp. reported $725.7 million in 2011 revenue compared to $693.7 million in 2010 and $706.2 million in 2009. The company sold its full-service resorts in November 2010.
Bally Total Fitness, Chicago, remains at No. 5 with $468 million in 2011 revenue, a 15 percent decrease from $550 million in 2010. The sale of the 171 clubs to LA Fitness last year led to a significant decrease in the company's club number from 278 at the end of 2010 to 102 at the end of 2011. That number will fall further next year because of the Blast Fitness acquisition of 39 Bally clubs.
Town Sports International (TSI), New York, is No. 6 with $466.9 million in 2011 revenue, a slight increase from the public company's $462.4 million revenue in 2010. TSI, which operates New York Sports Clubs, Boston Sports Clubs, Philadelphia Sports Clubs and Washington Sports Clubs, plans on one new club opening in 2012.
Rounding out the top 10 are Capital Fitness Inc., Big Rock, IL, which operates XSport Fitness clubs ($151 million); Western Athletic Clubs, San Francisco ($131 million); Urban Active, Lexington, KY ($107.5 million); and Sport & Health, McLean, VA ($97 million). Sport & Health adjusted its reported revenue from $100 million after press time, however the adjustment did not change the order of the Top 100. Some non-revenue information on other club companies also was updated on the Top 100 Clubs list after press time.
Planet Fitness, Newington, NH, which for the past three years had been in the Top 10 of the Top 100 Clubs list, chose not to be on the list this year. Club Industry could not determine an accurate estimate for the company based on last year's figures, which were reported incorrectly due to a miscommunication regarding the type of revenue allowable for reporting.
This year likely will be the final year on the Top 100 Clubs list for St. Petersburg, FL-based Lifestyle Family Fitness, which is in the process of selling its remaining clubs to LA Fitness. Before the announcement of the deal, Lifestyle reported $96.3 million for 2011 revenue, putting it at No. 11 on this year's list. The company reported $102.4 million in 2010 revenue, which was prior to its sale of those nine clubs to Life Time last year.
Crunch Fitness, New York, is one of the companies reporting a double-digit increase in revenue percentage. Crunch, No. 12 on this year's list, reported $96 million in 2011 revenue, a 23 percent increase from the $78 million it reported for 2010. The increase in revenue is attributed to additional clubs (including the sale of franchised clubs), an increase in membership and personal training growth, according to the company.
Midtown Athletic Clubs, Chicago, which rebranded its Proactive Partners division to Midtown Health earlier this year, is No. 13 with $95 million, a 3 percent increase from the previous year.
Following Midtown at No. 14 is Millennium Partners Sports Club Management, Boston. The company chose not to report its 2011 financials this year. Because it provided its revenue last year, Club Industry estimated its 2011 revenue this year at $94.8 million. For any companies that reported revenue last year but not this year, Club Industry estimated a 3 percent increase.
Two California-based club companies return to the Top 100 Clubs list this year after a brief absence. Spectrum Athletic Clubs, El Segundo, CA, and In-Shape Health Clubs, Stockton, CA, are tied at No. 15 with $90 million in 2011 revenue. Spectrum Athletic Clubs reported its revenue; In-Shape's revenue was based from an estimate derived from outside sources.
Spectrum reported 23 clubs at the end of 2011, but that number is now lower after Spectrum sold its 11 San Antonio clubs to Gold's Gym International, Irving, TX, this February for an undisclosed sum. Gold's Gym did not provide revenue figures to Club Industry and therefore is not on the Top 100 Clubs list. However, Gold's did report 75 company-owned clubs and 625 franchised clubs at the end of 2011.
Another club company that is not on this year's list is Equinox, New York, which completed the industry's first major acquisition of 2011 last August when it acquired the remaining four The Sports Club/LA clubs from The Sports Club Co., Los Angeles. After appearing at No. 22 on last year's Top 100 Clubs list, The Sports Club Co., which no longer operates clubs, also is not on this year's list.
One other club company missing from the list is Curves, Waco, TX, which has never reported its revenue for the Top 100 Clubs list. Last year, however, The Wall Street Journal reported Curves company revenue for 2009 ($84.1 million) and 2010 ($75.6 million). Without further details about the specifics of these numbers,Club Industry did not have enough information to estimate corporate revenue for Curves, even though it likely could have placed in the top 25.
Like Crunch Fitness, several other clubs showed a double-digit improvement from the previous year. Anytime Fitness, Hastings, MN, is No. 31 on this year's list with $39.1 million in 2011 revenue, a 16 percent increase from the previous year. This is the third consecutive year that Anytime Fitness, a franchisor of all-access clubs (formerly called key-card clubs), has enjoyed an increase of 12 percent or higher.
"We're very pleased—but not surprised—by the 16 percent increase in revenue from 2010 compared to 2011," says Mark Daly, national media director for Anytime Fitness. "We've opened 250 or more clubs each of the last six years, and we anticipate maintaining that growth rate for the foreseeable future."
Powerhouse Gyms International, Birmingham, MI, tied for No. 35 on this year's list with $34 million, a 10 percent increase from the previous year. Powerhouse President and CEO Henry Dabish attributes part of the increase to the opening of two large gyms, including the company's 60,000-square-foot club in Novi, MI.
Best Fitness, Nashua, NH, reported a 35 percent increase in 2011 revenue and is No. 47 on this year's list. Best Fitness, which had $18 million in 2011 (it did not report its 2010 revenue last year), opened a new club and acquired another club in 2011, giving the company 10 clubs total.
"We also invested in building a strong management team," says Rick Hatch, vice president of operations for Best Fitness. "This has resulted in much better success in our PT (personal training) and membership departments. I am really excited to see what our team can accomplish this year."
Other clubs had decreases in their revenue from the previous year, and some provided details as to why. Greenwood Athletic and Tennis Club, Greenwood Village, CO, saw its revenue drop from $11.5 million in 2010 to $11 million in 2011 and is tied for No. 64 on this year's list. Dan Gray, CFO of Greenwood Athletic and Tennis Club, says the decrease was due to a Life Time Fitness that opened three miles away, which reduced Greenwood's memberships by about 200 in a little more than two months.
However, Gray adds, about 22 percent of those memberships have returned, and the company is experiencing a resurgence so far this year. Through May, the company's revenues are up more than 8 percent year over year, according to Gray.
Competition in the area also was a factor in a decrease in revenue for HealthQuest Fitness, Flemington, NJ, says general manager Deirdre Whalen. HealthQuest dipped from $7.5 million in 2010 to $6.9 million in 2011, but it only fell one spot on the list to No. 83. However, Whalen says the club is making some changes to the facility to help bring back members who had left.
Advocate Condell Centre Club, Libertyville, IL, had a 16 percent decrease in revenue, from $11.3 million in 2010 to $9.5 million in 2011, and is tied for No. 72 on this year's list. Manager Richard Schoeneman said a good portion of the decrease was due to the relocation of the club's cardiac rehabilitation center to another site. A physical therapy unit also was relocated, Schoeneman adds.
Four new companies are on this year's list: Wisconsin Athletic Clubs, Milwaukee, which tied at No. 52 with $15 million in 2011 revenue; FIT Brands Max Fitness, Columbus, GA, which is No. 59 with $13 million; Blue Sky Holdings Inc., Manchester, MA, which tied at No. 90 with $6.3 million; and City Club at River Ranch, Lafayette, LA, which is No. 97 with $4.8 million.
Several club companies indicated on their Top 100 entry form that they plan to grow this year, which could enhance their ranking on the list next year.
"Perhaps one of the hidden trends arising from this year's Top 100 Clubs list is the planned growth by regional and middle-sized club companies that are adding one to two new facilities in the next year," says Rick Caro, president of Management Vision, New York, who reviewed the information on the Top 100 Clubs list. "This is often at a faster pace than historically has been the case. There is also intended growth by acquisition. Obviously, the franchisors are planning to benefit from substantial new franchise sales."

|Gallery Crawl Tonight, 50 Years of Art in the Park Saturday
|Written by Steve Frank
|Friday, 07 September 2012 06:22
A number of 'arts' notes; The Blowing Rock Chamber of Commerce says local painter, Jay Winston, and his wife, Paula, are hosting an art show at Rustic today, with proceeds benefiting Mountain Alliance, the outdoor adventure and leadership program
for high school youth in Watauga County. They are providing wine, beer, and light snacks, from 4:30-6:30pm this afternoon at Rustic, 915 Main St—a good time for a good cause.
Tonight, it's the First Friday art crawl in downtown Boone, with galleries and businesses open—and the new Watauga County Arts Gallery open in the former High Country Bank office at the front of the building at the corner of King and Water Streets. There will be music, refreshments, and a great time for those taking the stroll downtown.
Then, tomorrow, nearly 90 artists will help celebrate 50 years of Art in the Park in Blowing Rock. The event is behind the park on the American Legion grounds from 10am to 5pm. There will be a showing of art through the last 50 years all day in the American Legion area, then local band, The Lucky Strikes, will play in Memorial Park from 2:00pm until 3:00pm. Following that, the founder of Art in the Park will be recognized with an award at 3:00pm. plus an artists' reception will be held at 4:00pm. Then at 5:00pm, the gazebo area will have the sounds of bagpipes, as Grandfather Mountain Highlands Pipe Band performs. It should be a great weekend for art.

All the latest on the world's youngest royals
There's no denying Madonna is the mother of reinvention. The Michigan-born icon is one of the few people to have remained a mover and shaker on the pop scene over the course of her three-decade-long career. While the diva's propensity to shock has lessened, she still has the capacity to surprise the world.
Born on August 16, 1958, the third of eight children, Madonna Louise Veronica Ciccone lost her mother to breast cancer when she was just six years old. "I became an over-achiever to get approval from the world," she explained later.

On Saturday night we attended the birthday party of Terri Lynn Bradley upon the Delta King. We were very impressed with the food and service. The food was excellent. The salmon was moist and very flavorful. The filet steaks were not overcooked and very tasty also. My husband loved the green beans and even went back for seconds. The service was very attentive but not overbearing. They were always there to make sure the birthday girl was taken care of. We had a wonderful time and would recommend the Delta King highly to anyone celebrating an occasion.
~ Mike & Ingrid Censell
Highly recommended!! Everything was perfect you all were very nice and we couldn't have asked for a better venue for our wedding.
Thank you!!

Undergraduate German
As the official language of the Federal Republic of Germany, Austria, Liechtenstein, and portions of several other European countries—and with linguistic enclaves in the Americas and Africa—German is today the native tongue of close to 120 million people. For advanced-degree programs in fields such as art history, music history, philosophy, and European history, German is still a required language. And whether the motivation for study is business, culture, travel, friendship, or heritage, a knowledge of German can add inestimable depth to a student's landscape of thought and feeling.
Students should ideally plan to study German for at least two years. First- and second-year German aim to teach students how to communicate in German and acquire grammatical competency through exercises that both demand accuracy and encourage free expression. While conference work in Beginning German consists of intensive grammar work with the German assistant (both group and individual conferences), intermediate-level students work on their cultural competency by reading German literature (fairy tales, novellas, poems) and working on class, group, or individual research projects (e.g., writing a short story or screenplay in German, exploring German cities online, reading newspaper articles on current events). Advanced German is a cultural studies seminar. Students solidify their cultural competency by studying German history and culture from the late 18th century to the present. A special emphasis is placed on 20th-century German history and culture, including contemporary German literature and film.
Many students of German spend a semester or year studying in Germany. Students have the opportunity to take a 5-week summer seminar in Berlin (6 credits), where they will take a German Cultural Studies seminar with an emphasis on the history and culture of Berlin and a class in art/architecture, dance, or the German language (taught at Neue Schule in Berlin).

FRANKFURT (MarketWatch) — The Group of 20 has spoken, and it has effectively proclaimed that it's more afraid of stalling economic growth than overheated rhetoric about the threat of a so-called currency war.
In the statement issued Saturday, G-20 finance ministers and central bankers effectively told Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe to go ahead and pursue policies that will result in a weaker currency — provided that he doesn't actually talk about the level of the yen. See The Tell: What the G-20 likely implied with its silence on the yen.
Call it a bargain. The G-20 is willing to tolerate a much weaker yen if it helps restore growth to one of the world's major economies.
But the weaker yen — or a weaker dollar or a weaker pound or even a weaker euro, for that matter — must result from growth-oriented policies. A weaker currency can be a means to an end but not the end in itself.
`Conundrum is clear'
As Kit Juckes, head of foreign exchange at Société Générale, put it in a note early Monday: "The conundrum is clear — the world's leaders from G-7 to G-20 approve of policies to boost growth, while disapproving of policies to boost growth at the expense of others.
"So while currency manipulation is bad, zero rates and [quantitative easing] are good in times of trouble. And if those policies happen to cause a currency to weaken, well, that's OK" in the eyes of the G-20, Juckes said.
"Currency war" is a term that was coined in 2010 by Brazil's finance minister in response to the U.S. Federal Reserve's quantitative-easing strategy.
The Fed's aggressive easing undercut the dollar. Loose policy among other major economies helped create a flood of funds into developing economies, such as Brazil, making for an unwelcome rise in the value of their currencies.
G-20 could intensify currency wars
Failure by the G-20 to take a more aggressive stance on monetary easing could help intensify currency wars. Heard on The Street's Simon Nixon looks at the consequences for inflation and the global economy. Photo: Getty Images
A weaker currency makes a country's exports cheaper and imports more expensive. The G-20 industrial and developing countries vowed not to engage in "competitive devaluations," the practice of purposely cutting currency values in an effort to boost exports. Read the G-20 communiqué.
But the reality is that there are few countries capable of laying any claim to purity when it comes to charges of currency manipulation, economists noted.
This was illustrated a day ahead of the G-20 communiqué, when a news report quoted a senior G-20 official as saying language in an earlier G-7 statement vowing members "will not target exchange rates" had run afoul of China — a member of the G-20 but not the G-7.
In the end, the G-20 statement amended the language to read: "We will not target our exchange rates for competitive purposes…"
Yen: odd currency out
It's worth noting that in the wake of the crisis, the yen was often the odd currency out. As Switzerland took the franc out of the haven category by explicitly putting a ceiling on the value of its currency versus the euro, the yen became the ultimate flight-to-safety destination until Abe began to pressure the Bank of Japan and to also initiate fresh fiscal stimulus measures.

Whole Wheat Cheese Straws
I've said it before and I'll say it again; I rarely turn down an invitation to dinner. For me, there is no better way to spend an evening than sitting around a table and chatting over food and a few cocktails. I especially love being able to give the host a hand by contributing something to the meal (when they ask!), but I have a few guidelines I like to stick to, to keep things easy on myself. Most of my rules stem from the fact that I travel pretty exclusively on public transportation (or on foot), but I think the general rules can apply to folks with cars too.
Yossy's Rules for Food-to-Go
1. Don't bring anything too heavy or hard to carry: no one wants you to show up to a party sweaty and red faced because you've been hauling around 3 bottles of wine and a cast iron skillet full of cornbread.
2. Don't bring anything that needs to be cooked on site. Your host is probably going to be using the oven and stove, so don't try to sneak in the dumplings that you just have to pan fry to order or use their stand mixer to mash your potatoes.
3. On that note, nothing messy or saucy. Take something liquid, add in a subway transfer and a few block walk and you've got distaster written on your forehead, and spilled on your party shoes.
4. Handheld treats rule them all! Cookies, brownies, little pies, spiced mixed nuts, freshly baked dinner rolls, any veggie side that can be served room temperature, a salad with the dressing sealed up in an a mason jar, a delicious piece of cheese and a loaf of bread, you get where I am going here.
*Bonus points if you can transport your dish in the container you are going to serve it in.
**Double points if you remember to bring the host a gift. I love to share my jam and preserves and they make great host gifts for folks who love food.
These cheesy straws were the other half of my party contribution last weekend and they are my new favorite snack to eat with cocktails, not to mention that they followed all of my Food-to-Go Rules. They were simple to put together, easy to eat and transport and a real crowd pleaser. The whole wheat flour made a perfect base for all peppery, cheesy, buttery flavor packed into these crackers and I knew they were going to be a hit after I "taste tested" most of the first batch that came out of the oven.
What are your favorite foods to bring to a party?
Whole Wheat Cheese Straws
yield, about 50 straws depending on how you slice them
4.5 ounces whole wheat flour
2.25 ounces all purpose flour
1/8 ounce salt
1/4 ounce aleppo pepper (or to taste)
1/8 ounce cracked black pepper
1/8 ounce cayenne pepper
3 ounces cold, unsalted butter cut into small pieces
1.5 ounces sour cream or creme fraiche
3 ounces finely grated parmesan cheese
6 ounces finely grated cheddar cheese (I used a sharp white cheddar)
flaky salt for sprinkling (optional)
1. In the bowl of a stand mixer combine the flours, salt and spices.
2. Add in the cold butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse sand with a few chunks of butter. Add in the sour cream and mix until well combined.
3. Add in bowl cheeses and mix until just incorporated. The dough should hold together when you squeeze it together with your hands. If it doesn't just add some milk or water to the mixture one teaspoon at a time until it comes together. Turn the dough out onto a piece of plastic wrap and form into a disc. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes and up to overnight before rolling and baking the straws.
4. When you are ready to roll and bake the straws preheat your oven to 350º and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats. Split the chilled dough into two pieces. Working with one half of the dough at a time, on a lightly floured surface roll it into a rough rectangle about 1/8'' thick. If your kitchen is warm, you may find that rolling the dough between two sheets of parchment or waxed paper is easier.
5. Using a pastry wheel or pizza cutter, cut the dough into strips 1/4''-1/2'' wide. Gently place the strips onto the prepared baking sheets about 1/4'' apart and sprinkle with flaky salt (optional). They won't spread much width wise, but they will puff up a bit. The dough is pretty delicate from all of that cheese and butter, so don't worry if the strips crack or break when you move them. Repeat with the other half of the dough
6. Slide the cheese straws into the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until lightly golden. I baked mine for 14 minutes because I like them nice and crispy and caramelized, but you may like them less "done".

mmm, these look good enough to whip up just to have on hand to snack on despite no dinner party to go to!ReplyDelete
i had a car up until the first month we moved to new york, so i was fortunate enough to be able to bring things that might be borderline dicey to bring on ny public transportation. but still hands down, my favorite thing to bring is any easily munch-able dessert. hand pies are a traditional favorite of mine, as are mini galettes and tarts if i'm short on time. even savory versions fare really well, like flaky pastry with gruyere and asparagus (mini versions, so much easier to carry!).Replies
Yum, gruyere and asparagus tarts sound so tasty. I don't usually make savory pies/tarts, but I have been meaning to give them a go.Delete
Yossy, these were delicious (and I can usually skip savory snacks). I'll be making them for my book club cocktail party next week!ReplyDeleteReplies
Awesome! I hope they are as delicious as you remember.Delete
I love cheese straws! These sound delicious. Lovely idea!ReplyDelete
Your food-to-go rules made me laugh. And your delicious cheese straws made my tummy happy last week. They were zippy and cheesy and just right. So lovely to meet you in person, Yossy!ReplyDeleteReplies
Gurl, the pleasure was all mine. I hope our paths cross again soon!Delete
Whole wheat flour and spices... no wonder I loved these straws of cheesy goodness so much! I'll have to learn to make them myself since you're so far away. Your food-to-go rules are totally great, too. Thank you for sharing!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks Kathryne - I'd love to see your take on these!Delete
This looks perfect for a party. And delicious!ReplyDelete
Love this...and the Food to go rules. thank you!ReplyDelete
Oooh love the cheese straws and totally agree with your tips! I usually offer to bring a loaf of home baked bread or cookies. It's no stress and can be made ahead.ReplyDelete
I really, really like to bake cakes for parties. (Possibly because it's a very good excuse to bake a cake.) But this is a serious problem in transit and I appreciate your brutal honesty about it. I am going to seriously consider your to-go rules for my next contribution . . . The cheese straws look fab and easy to transport!ReplyDeleteReplies
Oh man, I love to bake cakes for parties too! I have a special basket I use to transport them and I only do it on special occasions. Layer cakes can be surprisingly heavy :)Delete
Oh man. I've had my share of nasty food spills, so I can totally relate to those rules. :)ReplyDelete
Great recipe! Will be linking back to this in my post tomorrow.ReplyDelete
Is it okay to not use whole wheat flour and only use all purpose?ReplyDeleteReplies
I've never tried them that way, but I think if you use only all purpose flour you may want to cut back the sour cream or creme fraiche just a bit. All purpose flour doesn't absorb as much liquid as whole wheat flour does. Have fun!Delete
These look amazing! Do you know how long these will keep after baking?ReplyDelete

Who is Glenn Richard Unger?
Federal prosecutors portray the former Potsdam orthodontist as an armed and reclusive anti-government tax cheat who was involved in a 2010 letter campaign to intimidate state governors, and who harbored a small arsenal inside a rented town of Lisbon home, from high-powered assault rifles to a handgun under his mattress.
Dr. Unger presented himself during a court appearance earlier this month as a gifted healer, a writer and man of God known only as Glenn Richard, who steadfastly refused to give his address and compared his prosecution to what my savior went through.
Court documents made public last week only add to the complex picture of a wanted man who reportedly surrendered quietly when approached by state police, then identified himself to troopers a short time later as a 1922 silver dollar.
Even his age seemed to be in question. While federal officials reported it as 62, state troopers told the Times that arrest records showed at least two different birth dates, in 1950 and 1951.
Dr. Unger, who maintained a practice in Potsdam during the 1980s and early 1990s, was indicted last month on allegations that he filed for more than $36 million in fraudulent income tax refunds between 2007 and 2011. He was arrested on Dec. 29 in Ogdensburg.
He has been associated by the government with the sovereign citizens movement, which the FBI has described as a loose network of individuals who believe that federal, state, and local governments operate illegally, adopting tactics such as not paying their taxes and creating false license plates and drivers licenses.
I think hes a danger to the community because its a dangerous combination of antigovernment beliefs and the possession of firearms, especially firearms capable of handling large amounts of ammunition, Assistant U.S. Attorney Ransom P. Reynolds told U.S. Magistrate Judge Randolph F. Treece during a Jan. 2 arraignment hearing in Albany at which pretrial release terms for Dr. Unger were initially discussed.
And I believe hes also a danger to the community because of his statement that he would rather die than become subject to the government, Mr. Reynolds told the judge, referencing another comment Dr. Unger allegedly made to troopers following his arrest.
Dr. Unger requested time to consider the release terms a $50,000 bond,to be secured by real property and a financially secure individual when the hearing was continued on Jan. 9. He had yet to accept them, and remained in custody late last week.
With Dr. Unger initially spurning counsel and representing himself before the court on Jan. 2, Judge Treece entered a not guilty plea on his behalf. According to court documents filed Tuesday, he has, however, since invoked his Fifth and Sixth Amendment rights to silence and representation by counsel, and will be represented a federal public defender.
A trial has been set for March 4 in Binghamton before Senior Judge Thomas J. McAvoy.
Prosecutors allege Dr. Ungers fraudulent filings were made in Saratoga and Albany counties, although the indictment does not specifically mention Ogdensburg or St. Lawrence County.It was only in court on Jan. 2 that Mr. Reynolds revealed where Dr. Unger was living when he was arrested: 10097 State Highway 37, in the town of Lisbon along the St. Lawrence River outside Ogdensburg.
Mr. Reynolds said he rented a post office box in Clifton Park, Saratoga County, and had his mail collected and forwarded to the Lisbon address by an unnamed male who never wrote Dr. Ungers real name on the parcels.
Deed records show the Lisbon home is owned by Nathan D. Lovely of Potsdam, who purchased the single-family dwelling in 2006. Efforts to contact Mr. Lovely were unsuccessful.
Scott Akins, who lives immediately downhill overlooking the St. Lawrence, told a reporter he believed Dr. Unger began renting the home about a year-and-a-half ago. But Mr. Akins didnt often see the new neighbor in the cluster of homes that is a mix of seasonal and year-round residents.
He struck me as odd, very reclusive, Mr. Akins said of Dr. Unger.
There was no sign of recent activity at the home when a reporter visited on Friday.
Mr. Reynolds told the court that Dr. Unger came to FBI attention around April 2010, after the bureau began investigating letters sent to all 50 state governors that the FBI perceived as a potential threat.
The incident made national headlines after the governors in late March 2010 began to receive the letters, in which a group calling itself Guardians of the Free Republics told them to quit their posts within three days for face removal under its Restore America Plan. News reports suggested that the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security did not believe the group was violent, but they did fear its anti-government rhetoric could incite others.
According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, an international organization that tracks domestic terrorists and hate groups, the Guardians are a sovereign group that claims to have set up common-law courts in all 50 states for redress of numerous grievances, including bank foreclosures and tax prosecutions.
Agents probing the incident quickly honed in on an Internet radio host who allegedly also led seminars on how to avoid paying taxes: Dr. Sam Kennedy, an alias alledgedly used by Dr. Unger.
The FBI ... learned that (Dr. Unger) taught two schemes at his seminars, Mr. Reynolds said. One was how to obtain money from the government by filing false tax returns, the other was how to defraud others into accepting false security instruments in payment of debt. According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, both are hallmarks of sovereign citizens and the Guardians.
In addition to the bogus tax refunds Dr. Unger allegedly claimed between 2007 and 2011 none of which was ever paid out, prosecutors said he allegedly filed no legitimate income tax returns between 1999 and 2005, while he was operating Columbia County Orthodontics in Chatham, about 30 miles from Albany.
Investigators found that in 2006, Dr. Unger transferred his practice and patients to another orthodontist, whose name is redacted from the court transcript. As payment, Dr. Unger reportedly created a false promissory note in the amount of $200,000. After he discovered the document was worthless, the second orthodontist attempted to sue Dr. Unger, but eventually gave up because he could not find him to serve the paperwork, Mr. Reynolds said.
Dr. Unger told the judge that he has never classified myself as a sovereign citizen, but did acknowledge involvement with the Restore America Plan and the letters to governors.
The group, he said, included some people in the upper echelons of military intelligence and that it operates within the law ... to restore the original republic.
He maintained his capacity on the radio show was simply as a reporter, and that when he found out that some listeners were using tax forms incorrectly, I publicly chastised the community and said the process is dead, stop it.
Regarding the issue of refunds, there is nothing in any process, judge, that would indicate anger, intent to deceive, propensity for flight or danger to the community, Dr. Unger told Judge Treece.
Mr. Reynolds argued that physical evidence, together with Dr. Ungers behavior since being arrested, suggested otherwise.
On Dec. 19, the day the indictment was handed up, IRS and FBI agents executed a search warrant at a Chatham storage locker rented by Dr. Unger. Inside, Mr. Reynolds said, they found books including such titles as How to Disappear in America and The DEA Stash and Hideout Handbook, as well as literature about bomb-making and money laundering.
Dr. Unger was quietly taken into custody 10 days later without incident, but not without alleged acts of defiance.
State police at Ogdensburg told the Times that troopers on patrol the afternoon of Dec. 29 saw Dr. Unger driving a 2001 Toyota Camry on State Highway 37 near his home. While not specifically monitoring the premises, the troopers were aware that there was a warrant for his arrest, state police said. Troopers said they were in the process of confirming the vehicles registration shortly after 4 p.m. that Saturday when Dr. Unger pulled over on Route 68 in Ogdensburg before they even activated their lights.
At the time of his arrest, he provided the troopers with his drivers license and identified himself as Glenn Unger, Mr. Reynolds told Judge Treece. However, later at the state police barracks, he stated that Glenn Unger was deceased as of November 2012 and that his identity is now a silver dollar, offering a 1922 coin as proof.
Dr. Unger was taken to the St. Lawrence County jail, Canton, and then transferred to FBI custody. When FBI agents interviewed him, Dr. Unger replied that he was grantor to the beneficiary of the trust, but he said to call him grantor, Mr. Reynolds said.
The next day, Dec. 30, agents searched the home on State Highway 37. Inside, they found nine firearms, Mr. Reynolds said, including an UZI submachine gun and a TEC-9 semiautomatic handgun as well as a number of handguns. Six of the guns were listed on Mr. Ungers pistol permit, Mr. Reynolds said, and at this point, Im not representing to the court that there is anything illegal about them. They also found 16 boxes of sovereign citizen literature.
The fact that he believed that he was the most wanted man in the country and possessed all these loaded firearms in his residence I think speaks volumes about his mentality, Mr. Reynolds said.
Dr. Unger called it downright impossible to flee in a border region virtually swarming with Homeland Security and helicopters and buzz planes.
He also said many of the guns had been sealed in a box, as they had been for decades, relics of nothing more than a youthful interest in firearms. The literature in the storage locker, he added, was research for a book he was writing, Plague of New York II, a story about a terrorist that exemplifies much of whats going on in society.
Dr. Unger also claimed a higher calling, saying that when he still practiced dentistry the Lord blessed me with the gift of curing childrens headaches. He also said he took a vow of poverty years ago and maintained a ministry in the north country ... visiting with the people who no one else will.
Among those people, Dr. Unger described an ill woman he refers to as the ex-wife because I dont want to construe that I have a legal union. Her name did not appear in the transcript. Motivating his request for release, Dr. Unger said, was to set affairs in order for her before the trial.
Of the legal system, Dr. Unger insisted he has no fear.
Its clear to me that my savior was put here to witness by trial, and he went through three of them, Dr. Unger said, and if it was good enough for him, by the Lord, (it) should be good enough for me.

The story is about a Marathi girl Meenakshi Deshpande aka "Aiyyaa" falling in love with a Tamil artist. It is a quirky and funny love story with the backdrop of a Marathi-Tamil cultural clash. Aiyyaa lives with her eccentric family next to a smelly rubbish dump, lost in her dream-like Bollywood fantasy world. She gets a job at an arts college where she meets a soul-mate, a buck-toothed Lady GaGa lookalike, and together they go man-hunting. That's until Aiyyaa catches the smell of her dream man, follows the scent and finds a hunky Tamil student, whom she stalks; much to his annoyance. At the same time her barely sane parents are arranging her marriage to a good, sensible boy, who loves Marathi art cinema and rose-planting. The lead female protagonist's dream hunk mysteriously disappears and Aiyyaa is torn: should she settle for the rose garden or woo the stranger she desires as he smells good.

Or almost always. We were six kids, and we were voracious. That was a problem when it came to my mother's cookies. We had our own cookies, Oreos and Nutter Butters, but when we'd dispatched those, there would be that bag of Mom's pecan sandies, daring us. It was really hard. Those cookies were sacrosanct, but sometimes, guiltily, we ate her cookies, one by one, until they were gone.
Mom had very few things she could call her own. She had no real luxuries. We didn't have winter family vacations; we didn't go to a cabin by a lake in the summer. She worked, and she gave us everything we wanted and needed. But we didn't appreciate it then. How could we know? How could I, youngest of the boys, know?
But I do now. Day after day, year after year, Mom set an extraordinary example for me. An example of hard work, attention to detail, and an all-consuming love for our family that I still have today.
Food is a powerful connecter of who we are to who we were, to our past, to our memories, and, for me, to a different and simpler time. Even the smallest thing—a cookie—can help us understand what we feel now while reminding us of what we once felt and who we've become versus who we were then. So much of who I am today is tied to who my mom was, the choices she made, the way she worked, and how she lived her life. What success I have today, I owe to her.
All of which is why the pecan sandie is so important to me.
YIELD: Makes 1 1/2 Dozen Cookies
- 1 3/4 cups + 1 1/2 teaspoons All-purpose flour (250 grams)
- 3/4 cup Coarsely chopped pecans (80 grams)
- 4 ounces Unsalted butter, at room temperature (170 grams)
- 3/4 cup + 1 3/4 teaspoons Powdered sugar (90 grams)
- Additional powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
Position the racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat the oven to 325°F (convection) or 350°F (standard). Line two sheet pans with Silpats or parchment paper.
Toss the flour and pecans together in a medium bowl.
Place the butter in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and mix on medium-low speed until smooth. Add the 90 grams/3/4 cup plus 1 3/4 teaspoons powdered sugar and mix for about 2 minutes, until fluffy. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl. Add the flour mixture and mix on low speed for about 30 seconds, until just combined. Scrape the bottom of the bowl to incorporate any dry ingredients that have settled there.
Divide the dough into 30-gram/1 1/2-tablespoon portions, roll into balls, and arrange on the sheet pans, leaving about 1 1/2 inches between them. Press the cookies into 2-inch disks.
Bake until pale golden brown, 15 to 18 minutes if using a convection oven, 22 to 25 minutes if using a standard oven, reversing the positions of the pans halfway through. (Sandies baked in a convection oven will not spread as much as those baked in a standard oven and will have a more even color.)
Set the pans on a cooling rack and cool for 5 to 10 minutes. Using a metal spatula, transfer the cookies to the rack to cool completely.
If desired, dust with powdered sugar.
The cookies can be stored in a covered container for up to 3 days.

CANTON St. Lawrence County plans to pay off the $12 million it borrowed for 2013 operating expenses this week, but will likely turn around and borrow $10 million to deal with what continues to be cash flow problems at various times of the year.
The county can probably get through 2014 without borrowing as much as it did this year because of improved cash flow afforded by an increase in the local sales tax from 3 to 4 percent that will take effect Dec. 1, and because a portion of the state/tribal compact funds owed from previous years has come through, Treasurer Kevin M. Felt said.
I think its going to be a little easier, but its certainly going to be tight, he said.
Most of the additional revenue expected from the increase in the sales tax is supposed to be used to reduce property taxes, meaning that little of it will be available to assist the county in other ways, Mr. Felt said.
Mr. Felt said he will ask legislators to approve the $10 million in borrowing at their Sept. 7 board meeting.
The expected interest rate will be just under 1 percent.
In 2012, the county took out a loan for the first time because of its cash flow difficulties. It increased the amount it borrowed from $8.5 million in 2012 to $12 million for 2013.
Mr. Felt said he will try to pay the countys pension bill to the state early to reap a discount of approximately $60,000 but will have to gauge whether the county has enough cash when the payment is near.
Im going to make every effort I can, Mr. Felt said. Theres no guarantees.
The countys pension cost for next year has been estimated at $7.5 million. That number is lower than the $8.1 million that was budgeted because of the number of employees it reduced due to fiscal constraints.
