Paula Deen Perfect Standing Prime Rib Roast
Total Time
Prep 10 mins
Cook 5 hrs
This is a method of cooking a standing rib roast that never fails. Crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The seasoning you choose is up to you. I did not include seasoning time in prep time. Recipe courtesy Paula Deen
Ingredients Nutrition
- 5 lbs standing rib roast (3 ribs)
- 1⁄8 cup garlic powder
- 1⁄8 cup black pepper
- 1⁄2 cup salt
- Combine seasonings. Rub seasonings all over roast several hours in advance.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Place roast on rack with fatty side up and rib side down. Place roast in oven and cook one hour.
- Turn off oven. DO NOT OPEN OVEN DOOR AT ALL DURING THIS PROCESS. Leave in oven for 3 hours without opening door.
- About 45 minutes before serving turn oven on to 375 degrees to reheat roast. Very important not to open oven from time roast is put in until ready to serve.
- This makes a RARE prime rib. If a more well done is desired, increase cooking time.
Most Helpful
Very easy, and it is "perfect". A standing rib roast is so expensive, I was a bit timid about cooking it, but this recipe is outstanding!
EXCELLENT - i've made this twice and it was perfect both times.
The first time I made this it came out perfectly...for us that is a medium-rare interior, but the second time, using a smaller roast, it was more well done than I wished. I will continue to use this method, but also use a meat thermometer.

The Curious Case of Corporate Criminality
Luna, Erik, American Criminal Law Review
Corporations dominate the business world, accounting for an overwhelming majority of commercial revenues and serving as the nearly exclusive organizational form for large-scale enterprise. (1) They are, quite simply, the major vehicles of American capitalism and a primary source of socio-economic prosperity and innovation. But corporations are also implicated in serious harm to individuals and society: massive fraud in securities, banking, and health care; damage to the environment from air and water pollution and the generation of hazardous waste; and systematic bribery, tax evasion, and obstruction of justice. If these acts were committed by an individual, there would be little doubt that prosecution and punishment might be in store--and, indeed, contemporary law accepts the idea that corporations can be held criminally liable in such circumstances. Yet to this day corporate criminality remains a curious concept. As artificial creatures of the law, corporations per se have no emotions or culpable mental states. Nor are they subject to incarceration, the primary mode of punishment in America. To use the hoary phrase, there is "no soul to damn, no body to kick." (2)
This symposium brings together leading scholars to explore the past, present, and future of corporate criminal law. The following response will offer some brief observations about several written contributions, all of which, I believe, help elucidate the peculiar institution of corporate crime.
Professor Albert Alschuler's article takes issue with the very idea of corporations being convicted and sentenced like human defendants. (3) The modern doctrine traces back to 1909 and the (in)famous New York Central case, where the U.S. Supreme Court upheld corporate punishment based on the respondeat superior theory of tort law, thereby allowing a corporation to be held criminally liable for its agents' actions taken within the scope of their employment. (4) Although the Court suggested that "there are some crimes which in their nature cannot be committed by corporations," (5) Alschuler correctly notes that the opinion itself provided no guidance as to the boundaries of corporate criminality. In the ensuing decades, lawmakers and jurists have rejected most meaningful limits to the doctrine (6) and allowed corporations to be held liable not only for modern financial offenses but also for serious physical crimes (e.g., homicide). (7) Still, corporate criminal liability is an oddity, regardless of any approval or acquiescence by courts, politicians, and the public. Akin to saying "I love you" to an inflatable, it sounds strange to describe a corporation as a manslaughterer. (8)
Alschuler exposes the foibles of this practice through analogy to two ancient institutions. The first is deodand, a biblically derived custom of punishing inanimate objects or animals involved in the killing of human beings. British common law permitted actions against chattel, which if found to have caused a person's death, would be forfeited to the Crown. The tradition of suing non-human entities continued after the American Revolution, sometimes in the form of a distinct doctrine that allowed ships to be seized without having to bring their owners within the jurisdiction. (9) But whether the fiction was grounded in deodand or admiralty law, the courts were acquiescing to a type of "transcendental nonsense," (10) to use Felix Cohen's phrase: property is treated as a person, denominated a party to litigation, and adjudicated guilty of wrongdoing. The fiction persists to this day and has facilitated some unconscionable results, like the forfeiture of an innocent woman's car because her husband had used it for a tryst with a prostitute. (11)
Alschuler describes a second institution, frankpledge, which is "less silly than hating an artificial person." (12) Dating back to the Norman conquest of England, the practice held the male leaders of ten households responsible for keeping the peace within their community, and in particular, it required them to deliver any household member who had committed a crime. …

The three themes of Tech.Ed this year are Learn, Explore and Connect. For me, at least, much of the value of attending a technical conference is to get to meet and interact with like-minded geeks and subject matter experts. I was having a chat with Dr Neil this afternoon and we were chucking around ideas to make this connect thing a reality. Neil had a suggestion that I've really taken to and I'd like some feedback from you folks too. What if we were to make the first session after the keynote on Wednesday a panel discussion and "track kick-off" (one for each track). We'd have most of the speakers from that track on the podium and a moderator. The agenda would look something like this:
10 min: Introduction from the track owner - what's this track about, what will we cover, where are there cross-over sessions with other tracks etc. 20 min: 2 minutes (max) from each speaker on what they're presenting on, what else they're passionate about, why you should come to their session(s) and where they'll be hanging out during Tech.Ed 30 min: Moderated discussion with the panel and audience on a topic/topics relevant to the track
Of course, this wouldn't be the only opportunity to initiate and continue the conversation. There'll be a discussion board on CommNet, a connect tool to help you to find those like-minded geeks, lounges in the expo hall, round tables for meals, an Ask the Experts evening, speaker 1:1s and lots more.
What do you think?
Great idea give good intro to tracks before attending. Initial info about sessions may not appeal but a presenters personallity sometiimes can make a lot of difference.
Go for it, just wish I caould attend
Seeing we get a very small subset of the huge number of sessions in US would hate to lose (n) tracks worth of sessions.
Why not make this available before the event so ppl can know what to expect and have something to use to convince their boss to fork out the registration fee?
Do a Silverlight Streaming vid for each track. Then have small vids of each speaker.
Then people who are interested in more than 1 track i.e Dev and SQL or Web and Dev etc. will have to opportunity to see the info on all tracks.
I agree with Bronwen in trying to address the "I'm interested in multiple tracks" issue. Recording it could also benefit those people who are trying to persuade people, sure... but I think you should _also_ record it. Still do it at the event, and in fact, run them twice or three times, so that people can get to multiple track headers.
Ditto to Bronwen & Rob.
As an option, why not do something alongside the registration process, a bit before the opening night party? Delegates can come, pick up their bag of tricks and head to an open panel discussion where they can rummage through the bag while asking questions about some of the content.
Admittedly though, most people will have already worked out most of what they plan on attending from the session briefs on the registration site.
As a speaker (first time) and attendee, I think that would be a great idea. I'd be first in line to participate.
I think you need to separate the 'choosing sessions to attend' from the idea of connecting with the speakers. Since there is a lot of focus on making a personalised session planner prior to the event I think the introductions of speakers and tracks would be well suited to something prior to the event as well.
Video maybe a little too optimistic of the resources you have, maybe just audio is the way to go? How hard would it be to record a conversation with each speaker, a few minutes for them to introduce themselves and their session(s), why you would want to attend etc. Kick this off really soon, make it a feed people can subscribe to, comment on, get engaged prior to the event. This may very well make people feel I little more connected already and more likely to line up a 1:1 meeting. Link to this from the session info and planner.
At the event itself you need a way for people to feel comfortable in talking to a speaker and knowing where to find them. Some sort of introduction of the speakers at the Keynote maybe a great idea to put a face to the name, but how do you keep it entertaining? 40 my name is... I'm presenting.... would be boring.
Totally agree that unless you're struggling for content dropping a whole timeslot of sessions may not be a great idea.
Richard makes some great points.
1. Come to think of it...I don't know anyone who hasn't already worked out which sessions they want to go to by the time they get to tech ed.
2. Putting this panel on before everything starts is a really good idea. Those that are there early can watch. It could be recorded and then played in the exhibition hall throughout teched.
To follow on from your twitter response and to follow on with from John (SoulSolutions)
What's the aim of the session? If it's to allow people to connect with the speakers, maybe there should be more chalk talks - where speakers team up and dive a little deeper into an aspect of their talk. Smaller group..more chance of interaction. Maybe you can run some chalk talks at each of the track areas at the Ask the Experts evening so it encourages people to come over and listen and then start a conversation instead of having to walk up to a group of "official-looking" speakers.
We've kicked this around a bit more and refined it a little. Current plan is to have the first 15-20 min of the first session after keynote be the track kick-off (which we'll extend by 15 or so min to accommodate). The idea is to see who else is attending the track and to put faces to the nemes of the presenters.

Andrew Riedel, SEO Gold Coast At one point, it was smart business to advertise your company in the Yellow Pages. But as time went by, this became an expensive way to throw away a good advertising budget. You see, as the world becomes more accustomed to the Internet, the latest trend is to use the search engines to find company websites and other information online. There's no point advertising in the Yellow Pages any longer because no one is looking there to find products or services; at least not to the degree that they once were. So, this begs the question… "What are you doing with your Yellow Pages advertising budget right now?" Are you still spending it on this ineffective means of advertising? Or have you decided to just put the money in your pocket instead? Here's the thing… Whether advertising in the Yellow Pages or not, you need to get your company out in front of the right prospects and potential customers. Without having a consistent lead flow, your company is bound to falter and fail. Are you excited about the changes in business? Or are you worried about losing your company altogether because you do not know how to compete in today's digital … [Read more...]
The Future of the Internet and Business
Andrew Riedel, SEO Gold Coast What is the Future of the Internet and Business as we know it? For some online businesses, change can be devastating. Your business may be riding high in the search engines and bringing in thousands of highly qualified, targeted visitors to your site each and every month. This is an amazing ride and as a business owner there's no doubt that you're making a killing off of this wave of free traffic. But then something happens. Google decides to update their search engine and those coveted first page rankings that you once had disappear in the blink of an eye. You go from Internet rock star to online pauper just like that. Is the Internet changing? Is there any way to protect your business? How do you bring in leads and customers without relying so heavily on Google? We'll answer these questions and more throughout the rest of this article. If you're feeling the sting of the latest Panda 2.1 update, have no fear. You may have to change the way you do things. You may have to stretch and expand your reach, but the Internet isn't dead. The world hasn't come to an end. You can resurrect your business with the right information and a little … [Read more...]
The Benefits Of Looking After Your Customers
Andrew Riedel, SEO Gold Coast In today's ultra-competitive business environment, being profitable requires much more than simply persuading people to buy your product, or use your service. If these customers only buy once and don't come back, your business is unlikely to succeed. This is why, whatever the nature of your business, customer care is of paramount importance. One of the main reasons for this is that according to research, recruiting every new customer costs a business six times more than retaining an existing one, because of the expense of advertising and sales calls. In fact, the cost of acquiring a new customer often exceeds the value of that customer's purchase. This means that the effort put in to retaining quality customers ultimately pays serious dividends. These dividends become apparent in a range of different ways, in addition to repeat business, which of course is vital. If you are in a fiercely competitive market, it is a way you can differentiate yourself from the competition. If another company is providing a similar product at a similar price, the provider with the better customer care will win every time. Without this, there might be little to … [Read more...]
7 Keys To Creating An Internet Marketing Strategy
Andrew Riedel, SEO Gold Coast We are in an economy that is highly competitive. Many businesses have reduced their marketing budget substantially. Personally I disagree with this strategy as the core to any business is to bring on new customers. If you do not have sufficient customers, you do not have a business. But whatever marketing budget you have, you need to spend it very wisely and have a solid, well thought out, scheduled strategy to get the best return on investment. No matter the size or intent of your business, being successful requires the development and consistent implementation of a clear internet marketing strategy. Before you ever consider creating a website, brochure, advertisement, logo, or even a Facebook page, you must first begin by mapping a path to success through the development of a consistent, focused marketing strategy. Here are 5 keys to creating an effective marketing strategy: 1. Defining Your Product Or Service It is crucial that you know exactly what product or service that you are in the business of delivering so that you can very clearly and concisely convey the correct message to your correct audience. Further, it is also … [Read more...]

Toyota Motor May Report First Half-Year Loss Since Credit Crisis
Toyota Motor Corp. and Nissan Motor Co. may forecast first-half losses and continuing sales declines as the two biggest Japanese automakers struggle to restore full production disrupted by a record earthquake.
Toyota, the automaker most affected by the earthquake in March, may post net losses of 155 billion yen ($1.9 billion) in the three months ending June 30 and 241 billion yen for the six months ending Sept. 30, according to the average of analysts' estimates compiled by Bloomberg in the past four weeks. Nissan's six-month net loss may be 48 billion yen, based on the estimates.
In the worst case, combined losses for the nation's carmakers and suppliers may be "the biggest ever," surpassing those at the time of the 2008 to 2009 financial crisis, Noriyuki Matsushima, an analyst in Tokyo at Citigroup Inc., said last week. Citigroup also downgraded Japan's auto industry to "sell" from "buy" on April 8.
"Even if production comes back, demand for cars may not come back as people are still fearing radiation contamination and earthquake aftershocks are still going on," said Yuuki Sakurai, president at Fukoku Capital Management Inc. in Tokyo.
Toyota, Nissan and Honda Motor Co. are working to restore full operations after the magnitude-9 temblor and tsunami damaged factories and caused parts and power shortages. The Toyota City, Japan-based company expects production may not return to normal until November or December.
Toyota Shares
Toyota's American depositary receipts, each representing two ordinary shares, rose 48 cents to $80.16 at 4:15 p.m. in New York Stock Exchange composite trading. They've fallen 8.4 percent since March 10, the day before the earthquake.
Toyota's vehicle sales in Japan plunged 69 percent last month, leading the eighth straight drop in the nation's monthly auto deliveries after the earthquake shut down production and a government subsidy program ended.
Industrywide sales of cars, trucks and buses, excluding minicars, fell 51 percent from a year earlier to a record-low 108,824 vehicles in April, the Japan Automobile Dealers Association said in a statement today. Toyota's deliveries fell to 35,557 vehicles, excluding Lexus-brand cars.
The industrywide total was the lowest for any month since 1968, when the association started tracking sales, while the 51 percent decline was the biggest for any month since May 1974.
Toyota Earnings
Toyota is scheduled to report fourth-quarter and full-year earnings on May 11, followed by Nissan on May 12.
Keisuke Kirimoto, a spokesman for Toyota, said he couldn't comment on earnings projections or on the scale of the impact from the March 11 earthquake relative to the financial crisis or last year's record vehicle recalls by the company. He also declined to say whether Toyota will provide a half-year or full-year forecast next week. Toyota President Akio Toyoda on April 22 also declined to comment on the quake's impact on earnings.
Mitsuru Yonekawa, a spokesman for Nissan, didn't return calls made to his cellular phone.
All of Japan's automakers halted production after the earthquake and tsunami damaged parts factories and power plants, causing shortages of components and electricity. Output disruptions are continuing at car factories in Japan and overseas.
Electronics Production
Renesas Electronics Corp., a chipmaker that has 30 percent of the world market for microcontrollers used in cars, said April 22 it will restart production at a damaged factory on June 15, prompting Toyota to say car production will return to normal levels by the end of this year.
Citigroup's Matsushima said output reductions by Japanese carmakers may continue until April 2012.
"Japan's automakers will run out of inventory at overseas plants in the second quarter, so figures for that quarter may be lower than those in the first quarter, even as they begin to raise production levels," he said.
During the financial crisis, Toyota's net loss for the year ended March 2009 was 436.9 billion yen, while Nissan's was 233.7 billion yen. Honda, Japan's third-largest carmaker, reported a profit of 137 billion yen.
Even before the earthquake, the dealers association had forecast a 13 percent drop in vehicle sales in Japan to 2.8 million this year, after the government phased out subsidies for fuel-efficient models in September.
Half Capacity
Toyota resumed output at all Japan plants on April 18 at half capacity. The company may lose production of 300,000 vehicles in Japan and 100,000 overseas through the end of April due to quake-related shutdowns, Executive Vice President Atsushi Niimi said April 22. He said the company may miss its global production target of 7.7 million vehicles for the 2011 calendar year.
Last month in Shanghai, Toyota said it may not be able to meet its China sales target of more than 900,000 vehicles this year due to the impact of the natural disaster.
The earthquake and tsunami were another blow to the company after Toyoda's first full year on the job was consumed by recalls that totaled more than 10 million vehicles, ranging from luxury Lexus sport-utility vehicles to Prius hybrids. Toyoda, 54, was called to testify before the U.S. Congress on the automaker's safety record, and the company's sales slumped.
Toyota Recalls
Toyota called back millions of U.S. vehicles in 2009 and 2010, mostly for defects related to unintended acceleration. The carmaker also paid a record $48.8 million in fines for how some of the recalls were conducted. The recalls caused the company to briefly halt sales of some models in 2010 and contributed to its 0.4 percent U.S. sales decrease last year, the only decline among large automakers.
Even as parts suppliers recover, carmakers in Japan will suffer from power shortages after the March 11 disaster reduced the nation's electricity-generating capacity, said Koji Endo, an analyst at Advanced Research Japan in Tokyo.
The impact from the earthquake is still less severe than that of the financial crisis, Endo said.
"The situation now is different because demand isn't hurt at all," he said. "Full-year earnings may not be that bad."
For the fiscal year that ended March 31, Toyota earnings may more than double to 471 billion yen, according to the average of analysts' estimates compiled by Bloomberg in the past four weeks. Nissan's profit may rise sevenfold to 303 billion yen.
Honda Profit
Honda said April 28 its fourth-quarter net income dropped 38 percent to 44.5 billion yen for the three months ended March 31, lower than the 93.8 billion yen average of analyst estimates compiled by Bloomberg.
The Tokyo-based company may post a 37.4 billion yen profit for the six months ending Sept. 30, according to the average of analyst estimates. The automaker declined to provide a full-year earnings forecast, citing the impact of the natural disaster on production.
Honda's cash position may become "strained" in the next six months, given depressed production levels, Managing Director Fumihiko Ike said last week. Honda obtained board approval on April 28 to issue as much as 200 billion yen in commercial paper "just in case" the need arises, and has no immediate plans to do so, he said.
Honda said today that auto production at its plants in North America won't return to normal levels until late this year and delayed the release of a new CR-V compact sport-utility vehicle by at least a month because of tight parts supplies.

Chart Watch Extra: The Fastest-Rising #1 Albums
By now, you've all heard that Taylor Swift's Red sold 1,208,000 copies in its first week, the highest first-week total since Eminem's The Eminem Show sold 1,322,000 copies in its first full week in 2002. It's hard to imagine now, but before Nielsen SoundScan began tracking sales for Billboard in 1991, sales tallies were rarely divulged (and when they were, by the record companies themselves, they were no doubt inflated).
All we had to go on was The Billboard 200 chart itself. Until 1991, it was rare for albums to debut at #1. Even the biggest artists had to climb through the ranks to reach #1. Artists earned bragging rights not by the number of albums they sold in the first week, but by reaching #1 faster than any other album that year.
I've gone back through the charts and determined the album that rose to #1 the fastest in every year from 1956, when the chart became a weekly feature in Billboard, to 1990, the last year before Nielsen SoundScan's arrival made sales tallies public information and #1 debuts commonplace.
The Beatles had the year's fastest-rising #1 album (or one of them, in the case of ties) for six straight years, from 1964 through 1969. The Rolling Stones had the fastest-rising #1 album of four years. Bruce Springsteen grabbed the honor three times. Elvis Presley, Led Zeppelin and Elton John each scored twice. (These are six of the greatest stars of the rock era. Now you know how they got that rep: They earned it).
Let's go back in time. I'll tell you the album (or albums, in the case of ties) that rose to #1 the fastest in each calendar year from 1990 to 1956.
1990: New Kids On The Block's Step By Step. The boy band's album shot to #1 in just two weeks. It hit the top on June 30, as the title track reached #1 on the Hot 100. It was New Kids' second studio album in a row to reach #1, following Hangin' Tough.
1989: Madonna's Like A Prayer and Prince's Batman soundtrack. Both superstars reached #1 in just three weeks. Madonna made it on April 22, as the gospel-infused title track reached #1. Prince scored on July 22, as "Batdance" jumped from #6 to #4. The movie, starring Michael Keaton, opened June 23. This was Madonna's third studio album in a row to reach #1, following Like A Virgin and True Blue. This was Prince's second #1 soundtrack, following Purple Rain.

At the grand age of 4 1/2 years old I was enrolled in kindergarten class at school. I remember my mother filling out the form and she asked me if I wanted a nickname. Mind you the adult is asking a little girl that has never gone to school. At the moment in time, my favorite animal was a bunny rabbit. Since I thought a nickname was a requirement to get into school. Fortunately, bunny won over monkey which was another favorite. By second grade, I hated the name 'bunny' and used my metal lunch box to silence those that persisted in using that name. Fast forward 50 years. Yesterday, at the preschool I got to be bunny, The Easter Bunny. Head to toe pink fur with a full head mask. The teachers planted me outside and let the children that wanted to come up to me. One little girl flew across the school yard for a hug from the Easter Bunny. I hopped, talked in a squeaky voice, fended off a future hoodlum trying to poke me in the eye, and thoroughly enjoyed myself. I was very impressed with one of our students in the learning about early childhood education he's a 16 year old that knows he is a cool man on campus. One of the small students wouldn't come near me unless he hugged me first. I was so impressed that he gingerly hugged me then encouraged the 4 year old to do the same. The atmosphere was gentle and any child that wanted to stay away could. There were no tears and delightful fun. I am a great believer in the Easter bunny, colored eggs, hunting for eggs and lots of candy. I loved living in Washington, we could hide candy filled eggs all over the yard, even in the snow. In the snow the colored eggs actually made the snow glow lovely colors to match the eggs. The kids would re-hide the plastic eggs over and over. I love coloring Easter eggs and checking out all the things that can be done with peeps. I'll add a few links to a few of my favorites.

Patrick Stickles has the bearded profile of a Civil War general and the fiery and rolling eye of a slightly fanatical preacher. As front man of punk rockers Titus Andronicus, he embodies the thematic core of their new album, The Monitor, finding plenty of parallels between the despair and wreckage of the American Civil War and a modern world similarly fractured by violence, economic injustice, and a highly polarized populace.
Last night at Skull Alley on E. Broadway, Stickles and his bandmates thrashed energetically through an hour-and-a-half set of songs that catalog all sorts of alienation and misery, but the performance itself was strangely joyous. Punk is nothing if not cathartic.
An American flag was draped from the keyboard, an unironic symbol of the things about America we should honor and not forget, as pointed in its meaning as the Abraham Lincoln tee-shirt Stickles was wearing. There probably aren't many shows in which the relative merits of the Monitor and the Merrimack become part of the call and answer.
In "Four Score and Seven," Stickles intones, "This is a war we can't win, after ten thousand years, it's still us against them." They are words that could just as easily have been sung by soldiers around a dying campfire in 1863, and it is the peculiar resonance of these lyrics, harkening back to Gettysburg and hurtling forward to our postmodern woes, that, in part, give Titus Andronicus its compelling power on stage.
Luckily, they are also in the business of having fun, whether it's ribbing their J.Crew-handsome bassist for his peculiar beauty or inviting a random harmonica-toting dude from the crowd to come on up and join them for a song on stage. They have an old-school courtliness about them, thanking the audience for their dance moves, opening bands State Champion and Spider Bags for their presence, and sending us all out the door with an ear-ringing, blood-pounding, punk benediction.
The album: The Monitor, released 2010 on XL
The band: Patrick Stickles, Amy Klein, Ian Graetzer, David Robbins, Eric Harm

Two local men were presented with their check for $1 million Thursday at Bart's Supermarket for matching five winning numbers in last week's Powerball.
Rakesh "Rocky" Patel, of Flanagan and Howard "Bob" Baker, of Minonk will split the winnings, which, after taxes, means about $350,000 apiece.
Mike Lang, Illinois Lottery spokesman, presented the oversize check to the two and said their pairing was unique in several ways.
"We have these two longtime friends and business acquaintances, who ended up sharing a ticket together in an uncommon way," Lang said. "They made a partnership in claiming the prize and called it Bob and Rocks."
Baker said how he and Patel ended up with the winning numbers is a funny story.
"I come in here periodically on my job and Rocky is such a salesman, so all the time I was in here that day there was quite a frenzy going on with a lot of lottery tickets being sold, so he kept asking me to buy a lottery ticket. I was getting ready to leave and I grabbed my billfold and it didn't have a dollar in it. I reached in my pocket and had a dollar worth of change, so I came up here and put it on the counter and said, 'OK, give me a lottery ticket.' He told me Powerball tickets were $2. I started picking up the money, but he stopped me and threw another dollar down and explained that it was Quick Pick, pulls a ticket out, puts his initials and my name on the top of it and said, 'If you win this, we'll split this.' I told him OK, then we'd retire and move to India. And the rest is history," Baker explained.
Baker said that his wife didn't think that only matching five numbers won him any money, but quickly learned it was a $1 million winner.
The pair drove to Springfield to claim their winnings Nov. 30.
"We talked about what we were going to do with the money on the way to Springfield. We're going to invest it for my kids' college. I'm already planning on retiring at the end of the year and it was long before I won this ticket. I just decided to take care of my daughters and have one less thing to worry about," Baker said.
"I have two kids, one is 9 and one is 6 and I'm going to do the same thing. The rest I'm going to invest," Patel said. "I'm going to keep the same job doing everything I do. I love this little town and I love the Flanagan people and the community."
Besides saving for their children's educations, the pair isn't planning anything extravagant.
Page 2 of 2 - "My wife would love to have a new washer and dryer so that's what we're getting," Baker said, while Patel added, "My kids want a 3-D TV, so I'll get them that."
The owner of Bart's Supermarket, Shalin Patel, cousin of Rocky Patel, was excited for the big win and already has plans with the store's $10,000 cut for selling the ticket. He is going to give $1,000 to Flanagan schools.

Archived Story
Student of the Week: Miranda LoughlinPublished 11:01pm Monday, February 27, 2012
Miranda Loughin is a seventh-grade student attending Brandywine Middle School. She has maintained success in all of her classes
during the present school year.
One of the things that makes Miranda successful is that she always gives her best effort, no matter how easy or difficult the assignment proves to be. She will ask for help when encountering something that she cannot solve or figure out, but will always attempt to provide a solution prior to seeking assistance.
Miranda makes it a priority that all of her assignments are turned in on time.
During a recent multiday absence, she received her missed assignments and was given several days for completion. She returned to school the following day with all assignments finished. Miranda is simply a pleasant, polite and respectful young lady and is a pleasure to have in the classroom.
She can definitely brighten your day!
— Jeff Willis,
Brandywine Middle School teacher

Is there a way to either specify the duration for UITableView row animations, or to get a callback when the animation completes?
What I would like to do is flash the scroll indicators after the animation completes. Doing the flash before then doesn't do anything. So far the workaround I have is to delay half a second (that seems to be the default animation duration), i.e.:
[self.tableView insertRowsAtIndexPaths:newRows

Immigration & Naturalization Attorney in Glenwood Springs Colorado
Helping Others Open New Doors
CHANGES TO THE BULLETIN ALLOW FOR EARLY FILING OF PERMANENT RESIDENCE APPLICATIONSOn September 9th, the State Department and USCIS jointly announced new procedures that will allow individuals stuck in the family-based and employment-based immigrant visa backlogs to begin filing their immigrant visa or adjustment of status applications before their priority dates become current. Starting with the October 2015 Visa Bulletin, there are now two charts listing dates for each preference category and country of chargeability: (1) an "Application Final Action Dates" chart ("Final Action Date"), and (2) a "Dates for Filing Applications" chart ("Filing Date"). For insight into the categories that are most impacted in October, see this chart, which compares the "Final Action Dates" to the "Filing Dates" as reported in the October 2015 Visa Bulletin. Please call us to set an appointment if you think your case may benefit from this.

BREAKING NEWS RE: PRESIDENT OBAMA DEFERRED ACTIONSMay 26, 2015 - Washington D.C.
In a disappointing decision, a divided panel of the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals today denied the federal government's request for an emergency stay of a preliminary injunction that has temporarily stopped President Obama's deferred action initiatives from being implemented.
The court's order keeps in place the hold on implementation of these initiatives. The Fifth Circuit will hear argument on the appeal in early July. The deferred action initiatives, announced last November, include Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents (DAPA) and an expansion of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) and could provide as many as 4 to 5 million immigrants with a temporary relief from deportation. DO NOT FILE an application with USCIS until you verify that you are eligible and that the government is accepting applications. For more information, go to www.uscis.gov.
Dealt Setback, Obama Puts Off Immigrant PlanThe Obama programs of Deferred Action for Parents and Children are not cancelled. They are only on hold. It will be several months before we know more. While we wait, please do not give money to anyone falsely promising to get you a place in line.

American Immigration Lawyers AssociationWashington, D.C.
The American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) is the national association of more than 13,500 immigration lawyers and law professors established to promote justice, advocate for fair and reasonable immigration law and policy, advance the quality of immigration and nationality law and practice and enhance the professional development of its members.
In August 2014 AILA created the Artesia Pro Bono Project to provide representation to immigrant families detained at a remote temporary detention center in Artesia, New Mexico. Because there were no legal service providers nearby, 10-12 attorneys per week traveled to Artesia to represent women and children via video hearing in immigration court. AILA volunteers fought to reverse cases at the negative credible fear stage, urging the Asylum Office to reopen denials and grant credible fear and represented clients at their asylum hearings. The Project has won 14 of the 15 asylum cases that have gone to trial to date, and has filed an appeal in the fifteenth case. On December 18, 2014, the government closed the Artesia facility and transferred a small number of clients to detention centers in Texas, where the Project continues to represent them. Over 1,200 women and children were served in the Project's short tenure.
USCIShas posted two new fliers about expanded Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) and about Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents (DAPA). Both fliers are available at uscis.gov/immigrationaction and uscis.gov/accionmigratoria. They explain:
- The guidelines that take effect for expanded DACA on Feb. 18, 2015.
- How people can prepare for requesting DAPA once it becomes available in mid-to-late May. * The importance of avoiding scams.
PROTECT YOURSELF FROM FRAUDCheck the government web site at www.uscis.gov. The lawyer helping you should have a list of any state attorneys .
Do not believe anyone who tells you that there is already a new immigration program. Do not trust anyone who tells you that you can secure a work permit, a visa or a residence/mica . If you suspect fraud, report it to your consulate or the police.
Driver's LicenseColorado residents who either only have temporary lawful status (such as tourists) or are unable to demonstrate lawful status in the United States are now able to apply for a Colorado state identification card or begin the process to obtain a Colorado driver's license. If you are able to demonstrate lawful status, temporary or otherwise, you may visit your local DMV in order to take advantage of this program. (Examples include but are not limited to: DACA, deferred action, TPS, Legal Permanent Residents, U visa holder.) If you are unable to demonstrate lawful status you can call (303-205-2335) or go to www.colorado.gov/revenue now to make an appointment at one of five (5) authorized Department of Motor Vehicle offices. View key points about how to take advantage of this new program. You can also visit the Colorado Road and Community Safety Act's information page to find a fact sheet and information in both Spanish and English regarding document requirements, fees, and frequently asked questions.

VIEL ET COMPAGNIE : VIEL ET COMPAGNIE : 2012 Results Consolidated revenue of €874.1m Operating profit of €35.9m Consolidated net profit of €17.0m Net profit - Group share of €7.0m €m 2012 2011 Consolidated revenue 874.1 900.2 Other operating income 4.2 10.5 Operating profit 35.9 47.5 Financial result -3.7 -5.2 Profit of equity accounted companies 1.8 1.3 Profit before tax 34.0 43.6 Consolidated net profit 17.0 27.1 Net profit - Group share 7.0 16.2 Minority interests 10.0 10.9 In a challenging economic environment, all operating subsidiaries of VIEL & Cie encountered difficult trading conditions across the markets in 2012. Trading volumes in the group's interdealer broking business were down in 2012, as was the case for all participants in the IDB sector, although the decline at Compagnie Financière Tradition was less severe than the sector average. After a slight fall off in the first half, the trend became more pronounced in the second half of the year.The objectives of Compagnie Financière Tradition group were to achieve costs savings in order to protect its results in a downward trend, while continuing to invest in new technologies and strengthening its position in Asia.During the year the group substantially delivered against these objectives. At Bourse Direct, the Group's online trading subsidiary, the impact of its growth strategy weighed on results. Despite this, the company generated a rise in order volumes and substantially increased its market share. Private banking activities (Swisslife banque Privée) remained stable compared with 2011. ******** Consolidated revenue from VIEL & Cie's operating subsidiaries was €874.1m in 2012, against €900.2m in 2011, a decline of 2.9% in current currencies. The segment analysis of consolidated earnings is a follows: €m 2012 2011 Interdealer broking 844.2 866.6 Online trading 29.9 33.6 Consolidated revenue 874.1 900.2 Consolidated operating profit was €35.9m in 2012, a decline of 24.3% from €47.5m in 2011. Operating expenses of €842.4m in 2012 were down 2.4% on the year, and consisted mainly of staff costs, charges for telecoms and financial information, and business expenses and marketing costs of the Group's operating subsidiaries. Profit before tax and exceptional items was €34.0m against €43.6m in 2011. The net financial result was negative at -€3.7m compared to -€5.2m in 2011. VIEL & Cie took a consolidated tax charge of €17.0m in 2012 compared with €16.5m in 2011. This charge was severely penalised by the tax situation of holding companies and the non-activation of deferred tax assets on the Group's lossmaking activities. Consolidated net profit was €17.0m against €27.1m in 2011; minority interests stood at €10.0m. Net profit Group share was €7.0m in 2012, against €16.2 in 2011. Consolidated equity stood at €400.7m, €269.5m of which was the Group share, after deduction of the gross value of directly held treasury shares totalling €27.3m. At the Annual General Meeting to be held on 7 June 2013, the Board will be seeking shareholder approval to pay a dividend of 8 euro cents per share in cash, representing a distribution rate of 88% of the Group's share of net profit and a dividend rate of 3.2%^1 per share. The Board of Directors of VIEL & Cie met on 20 March 2013 to examine and close the accounts for the 2012 financial year. These annual and consolidated accounts are presently being audited by the independent auditors, and the full financial statements will be included in the Company's financial report. Outlook VIEL & Cie will pursue its growth strategy for operational subsidiaries. This will take place against ongoing economic uncertainty, in which regulatory developments will continue to weigh on the growth of the financial industry. The Group will press ahead with developing leading-edge technology in its interdealer broking business, while keeping a tight rein on operating costs. In its online broking arm, the consolidation of its market share in France will be accompanied by measures to improve profitability across its activities. ^1Based on the share price on 20 March 2013 VIEL & Cie is an investment company comprising three core businesses in the financial sector: Compagnie Financière Tradition, one of the world's leading interdealer brokers with a presence in 28 countries, Bourse Direct, a leader in the online trading sector in France, and a 40% stake in SwissLife Banque Privée, present in the private banking sector in France.
