Skopelos, one of the stunning Greek islands that form the group known as the Sporades Islands, is one of the most beautiful in all of Greece. Skopelos has a unique rugged coastline of 67km, making it an island with truly inspiring landscapes and unlike any other you will find around Greece.
With the perfect combination of the luschious green pine tress and the crystal blue sea waters, Skopelos was named as the "Green and Blue Island" by the International Organization of Biopolitics.
Peaceful, relaxing, and naturally beautiful, Skopelos has everything that one could desire, and is the perfect choice both for holidays and living in Greece.
It is an island that is popular throughout the year with both Greeks and visitors from abroad, and is one that has so much appeal and charm.
The "Skopelos Village" Real Estate project is one that we have successfuly developed to offer you the chance to be able to experience and enjoy the magic and natural beauty of the island.
We at "Skopelos Village" know just how unique the island of Skopelos is, and are delighted to be able to offer you both holidays and permanent residence here on our island through our real estate and development program.

Q: What is estate planning?
Although it will inevitably include an element of tax planning, estate planning is much more than that.
It includes considering how you want your assets to pass to the people you want, when you want, and what restrictions, if any, you want to add.
Having established all of that, plans need to be laid to make that happen in the most tax-efficient manner.
Advisers can be of great assistance in estate planning, since not only will they have access to considerable expertise from product providers but also they will be able to make recommendations for products that will meet your specific objectives.
According to HM Revenue & Customs, the number of estates caught by inheritance tax has increased by more than 25 per cent over the last two years.
With a huge deficit to address, it is not likely that the government will be able or willing to take action to make the situation any more favourable in the future.
And yet, with sufficient forward planning, the impact of IHT can be reduced or avoided altogether.

When Dorothy and Blanche are in the kitchen trying to covince Rose that Holly is a good person and has invited them to a movie, Rose accidentally walks into the living room to find Gary and Holly making out. Are we to assume that Blanche didn't even know Gary was at the house? Also, how did he get to the house, nevermind the living room, without Blanche and Dorothy knowing? Wouldn't Blanche and Dorothy have seen his car when they left to go to the movies?
In this episode, Rose expresses often how much she dislikes/hates her sister. Yet in a previous episode, Transplant, when Blanche's sister comes to visit and Blanche goes on about how she hated her sister, Rose said she didn't understand how someone could hate their own sister.
When Rose's sister first makes her appearance and is in the process of identifying Blanche, Dorothy herself (from how Rose has spoken of them to her I assume) Sophia walks out from the kitchen and says "Who's this?" Rose's sister says to her "She's feisty, zesty, and full of old world charm, Sophia." Sophia retorts "She's mopey, dopey, and full of crap Rose's sister." How did Sophia know she was Rose's sister when she wasn't present when Rose told Dorothy and Blanche she was coming? Not to mention seconds prior she had just asked "Who's this?"
Dorothy and Blanche seem to be totally out of character. Much like in Dorothy in Season One's "The Triangle" and Dorothy again in Season Three's "Dorothy's New Friend," in which Dorothy disregards her own friends feelings for someone she hardly knows. These women have been together for years, and know and trust each other. Why would Dorothy and Blanche take Holly's side over Rose's, call her ridiculous and not respect her thoughts? Doesn't Rose know her own sister better than Dorothy and Blanche?
Inga Swanson was Ingrid Swenson on Soap. Witt, Thomas, Harris apparently liked using various cast members from their sitcoms to play various roles in other sitcoms of theirs including Benson, Golden Girls, Empty Nest, and Golden Palace.
Rose: (upset) He's a lewd, horny, oversexed beast with five hands!
Blanche: You don't have to build him up to me, hunny, I like him fine already.
Rose: My sister's in town on business. She's a world-renowned flautist.
Dorothy: Oh, she plays the flute?
Rose: No, Dorothy, she plays the flaut. It looks like a tuba except there's hair on the bottom. OF COURSE she plays the flute!
Blanche: Why is there a big hairy beast in my house?
Sophia: My guess is he because he bought you dinner.
Holly: She's feisty, zesty, and full of Old World charm. Sophia!
Sophia: She's mopey, dopey, and full of crap. Rose's sister. Don't mess with me kid, I have the home field advantage.

'No Easy Way Out' For South Korea-Japan Feud, Despite Biden's Efforts
During his recent Asia tour, U.S. Vice President Joe Biden pleaded with the leaders of South Korea and Japan to get along with each other so the three allies can work together at a time of rising regional tensions. He even made sure the message had sunk in with a follow-up phone call to Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on Thursday.
The response in Seoul has been less than enthusiastic."Frankly speaking, there seems to be no easy way out of the present situation," a senior South Korean government official said in a blunt speech Tuesday to a group of American academics visiting Seoul — four days after Mr. Biden had visited the city.
Relations between the two countries are "at an all-time low" since the two countries normalized diplomatic ties in 1965, said the official, according to the text of his prepared remarks at the private event, shown to The Wall Street Journal on condition that he not be identified.
The official blamed the predicament in part on Mr. Abe's "assertive policy of historical revisionism," in the remarks delivered to explain the thinking behind South Korean President Park Geun-hye's stand-offish stance toward Japan. As the two neighbors have wrangled over the interpretation of Japan's wartime aggression and an island dispute, their leaders haven't met bilaterally for two years.
To break the impasse, the South Korean official urged the U.S. to play intermediary, noting that the disputes are deeply rooted in the incomplete settlement of various issues after World War II.
"It is indeed time for the U.S. to play a more active role in addressing the disputes in the region," he said. "In my observation, the U.S. is the only country that Japan would ever listen to."
It is a role that Mr. Biden has suggested that Washington would rather avoid. While the U.S. seems eager to urge Tokyo and Seoul to improve ties, the vice president has also expressed reluctance to try and broker some kind of compromise over historical tensions.
"We welcome mutually acceptable solutions to historical and territorial disputes and support dialogue and diplomacy that can lead to such solutions," Mr. Biden said in a written interview with South Korea's Chosun Ilbo newspaper published Dec. 5. "But let me be clear: The United States does not intend to act as a mediator," he added.
Masaru Sato, a Japanese foreign ministry spokesman, said he was not in a position to comment on the South Korean official's speech, as the Japanese government wasn't aware of its contents. "What we can say is Japan will continue to work on our relationship with South Korea based on a broad perspective."
Much of Mr. Biden's visit to China, Japan and South Korea was focused on trying to lower tensions raised by Beijing's recent announcement of a new air-defense identification zone that included expansive areas of overlap with existing Japanese and South Korean zones. The vice president urged Ms. Park to reconsider her cold shoulder against Mr. Abe, while calling on Mr. Abe to make greater efforts to reach out.
Mr. Biden made a follow-up call to Mr. Abe Thursday, and reinforced "the importance of trilateral security cooperation among the United States, Japan, and the Republic of Korea" and pledged continued support for improved relations between Tokyo and Seoul, according to a White House press release.
In the Tuesday speech, the South Korean official mounted a scathing attack on Mr. Abe as he alleged that Japan has become assertive on history issues under the prime minister and that it appears to be "attempting a diplomatic isolation of Korea in this region and behind."
"Japan's historical perception is not just a bilateral issue between Korea and Japan or Japan and China," the aide said. "It is a common issue which threatens the peace and stability of the region."
Such comments from Seoul have spawned resentment in Tokyo. "The current government in South Korea has completely shifted its focus from Japan-Korea relations to China-Korea relations," said Nobutaka Machimura, a former foreign minister and veteran lawmaker of Mr. Abe's conservative party, who has long been known for his moderate foreign policy views. "It puzzles us why they have to get so completely absorbed in China. In a situation like this, it is very difficult to improve Japan-Korea ties," he added in an interview Friday.
Asked about Mr. Biden's call for closer ties, Mr. Machimura said there wasn't anything Japan could do. "It's just too bad, frankly," he said.

Almost eight months since the "Troubled Waters" controversy, the once-censored documentary is bringing possible reform within the University of Minnesota community.
A University committee is drafting a document, or a "white paper," that would provide a clear and comprehensive interpretation of the Academic Freedom and Responsibility Policy.
A lack of understanding and official procedure emerged last fall when a University vice president canceled the release of "Troubled Waters," a documentary about the pollution of the Mississippi River.
The documentary, however, was protected by academic freedom, which is the freedom to teach, study and publish research without restraint or fear of institutional discipline.
The Academic Freedom and Tenure Committee was charged with examining the "Troubled Waters" incident after the cancellation sparked public outrage and University officials quickly moved to green light the film's showing.
First introduced to the University in 1938, the policy has been rewritten several times. The current version was adopted in 1995.
The committee presented a report to the University Senate earlier this month recommending attaching a clear procedure to the policy to follow in cases like that of the "Troubled Waters" ordeal.
While the University has a recognized policy for dealing with academic freedom cases, there aren't accompanying guidelines for the policy in action.
It also recommended incorporating academic freedom in the training of all new employees and through ongoing education for current employees.
While the report directly addressed "Troubled Waters," the committee felt it could be expanded to provide a framework for a universal understanding about academic freedom issues, thus the "white paper."
"There has always been a policy, or a guarantee. The issue is: If there were potential violations — what do you do then?" said Joseph Gaugler, a member of the committee.
Under current protocol, all questions are referred to the Provost Tom Sullivan, the University's senior academic officer. Faculty can also file a case with the Senate Judicial Committee if they believe their academic rights were impinged, while professional and administrative staff can turn to the Office for Conflict Resolution.
This assumed policy wasn't followed in the "Troubled Waters" case because the official did not talk to the provost before calling for the cancellation. The provost later reversed the decision.
Karen Miksch, co-chairwoman of the committee, said that along with creating such a procedure, the committee wants to educate.
"Maybe what happened in 'Troubled Waters,'" Miksch said, "is that we need to do a better job of training."
There are a number of misconceptions tied to the policy, such as applicability, and there has been a problem with people thinking it only applies to faculty, she said.
This is true at some large schools, such as the University of Arizona or Purdue University. But University of Minnesota policy extends to all employees who produce intellectual and creative work as part of their employment, like when a provost teaches a class.
But the protection doesn't extend to employees at the dean level and above because they "serve at the pleasure of the president and the Board of Regents," Miksch said.
Academic freedom doesn't extend to individuals hired by a University employee to do his or her creative work.
The "white paper" will provide hypothetical examples for training and workshops while expanding the discussion that began in the "Troubled Waters" report.
"We have a very strong, very broad policy," Miksch said. But she said the challenge is to ensure everyone at the University understands it.
Kathryn VandenBosch, chairwoman of the Faculty Consultative Committee which posted the original inquires into the "Troubled Waters" case, said the document is scheduled to be completed by the end of the summer.
While there hasn't yet been a discussion on what will need to be done after the document is complete, it will most likely be presented to the University Senate.
Miksch said she is hoping the document could be published, as she has received requests for a copy from organizations nationwide.
Meanwhile, VandenBosch said Senate committees will take up recommendations made by the Academic Freedom and Tenure report next year. She said the administration and faculty will collaborate on both the recommendations and the procedure.

While we will wait until January to publish our recommendations for the new year, we can digest the lessons learned in 2011 within the technology markets and with Ventana Research right now. That's appropriate, since we at Ventana Research are committed to helping you with solid information and education. We help thousands of organizations make a better, faster, safer, smarter and more cost-effective environment for leveraging technology to its fullest extent. Our benchmark research worldwide across thousands of organizations of all sizes and vertical industries has found there is a lot more room for improvement than most realize or are addressing.
The year 2011 began with my assessment on the diminishing science of research in technology analyst firms. Sadly, that assessment continues to be true. Gartner, Forrester and many others aspiring to be like them see primary research as unnecessary to assess what is really happening in the use of technology. We take the opposite approach, and increased the volume of primary research we conduct as benchmark research to provide not just the facts but also education and best practices. To give you a sense of the volume, in 2011 we released 21 benchmarks (see below) spanning every line of business and vertical industry. From concept to delivery, benchmark reports take a minimum of six months and included one of our best and largest in business analytics with research from over 2,400 organizations. If that is not enough, we have 15 more benchmark reports (see below) already in design, execution or ready to release in first half of 2012, putting us on pace to potentially double the number of benchmarks that we released in 2011. If you do not think we are busy in the research factory just ask Alan Kay our SVP Research Management who along with his team continues to generate more quality research than any other firm in the market. We also have invested in research into the vertical industries that we have been assessing as part of every one of our benchmarks over the last decade. From this research we have found that organizations still have a lot to accomplish to get the most value from aligning business and IT to manage and optimize business processes. We have found significant misuse of technology for some tasks and roles, but we also deemed across our 2011 research topics five to 15 percent of organizations innovative across the people, process, information and technology components of a specific business technology area of focus.
I would be remiss to not also mention the importance of our Value Index research into vendors and products. We have now perfected the science of helping you with your assessment of existing vendors and products and for new projects with a request for proposal (RFP) approach, leveraging real-world concerns and evaluation criteria such as manageability, reliability and usability. You will see more Ventana Research Value Indexes in 2012 to ensure you get the analysis and real assessment of vendors and products compared to the less useful matrix and box assessment approaches by other analyst firms.
Our firm's efforts to make research and insights more readily available through social media continue to expand. Our focus on the quality of what we provide in social media continues to be recognized, and while we are not the most popular analyst firm online yet, we are being recognized as the most relevant. The use of social media is also critical for technology vendors, and especially those who market and sell products to service this need. Nevertheless, many technology vendors are still not strongly engaging in this area; that fact will be part of my upcoming analysis on the lack of social media competence on the part of technology vendors.
2011 was a turbulent year for business and IT and also in the technology industry. The turbulence ranged from changes on the vendor landscape from merger and acquisitions (M&A), to executive leadership changes and scandals, to technology strategy changes, to elimination of products from the market. All of these changes impact your computing portfolio; the software and technology you use is becoming obsolescent faster than you planned, or already eliminated from the market. Businesses continue to depend on enterprise software applications and tools, which means any changes impact your business computing plans. You can read for yourself many examples of these changes and impact to the industry from the roster of our research teams' week-by-week analysis; they may help and inspire you as you plan for 2012.
In the coming year, those who do not understand the dynamics and potential of the technology industry will find themselves operating significantly behind their competitors and cross-industry peers. Here are my ten best practices in the form of pragmatic advice and words of wisdom for you to consider as you think about 2012 and how you engage technology for your organization.
Ventana Research will celebrate its tenth anniversary in 2012. As we close out our first decade of service to a community reaching 250,000 professionals, we have learned a lot in applying our own research and best practices to our firm. With our fairly priced on-demand monthly subscription to our advice and research, along with our education and benchmark and vendor assessment services, we have been able to continue growing our research and team. We also introduced the industry's largest leadership awards for the use of technology across business and IT in our Ventana Research Leadership Awards to ensure that both organizations and technology vendors are recognized. You did not find this level of consideration or investment from other analyst firms who are quick to get a new customer but lack any follow through on in-depth research or analysis and recognition of those that use it.
We also in 2011 migrated all of our business and information systems to the cloud, eliminating the need for any dedicated on-premises and company-managed servers and software. Our cloud computing applications include but not limited to community software, content management, electronic mail, file sharing, financial management, marketing automation, project management, website and workflow. While this migration has had its challenges and bumps along the way, the simplicity and utility of cloud computing has given our small business better insight into the advice we provide our clients.
We have many new initiatives to expand our business and research in 2012 that will make it easier for you to get education and information in the timeframe and context you deserve. You will see more and not less from Ventana Research in 2012, and with your support we can continue to raise the bar on objective and independent research. I hope that you demand more from your industry analysts and firms you do business with to ensure you are not receiving mediocre advice based only on opinion or just the IT lens since you will need a lot more to be successful.
Thank you for being part of our readership and community of professionals. I thank all of our clients and partners, who made this all possible. Also thanks to the industry analyst relations professionals who voted that I was the #1 industry analyst in enterprise software as validated by Institute of Industry Analyst Relations; my humble regards for this honor. My best to the entire workforce at Ventana Research, who continue to believe in our mission and without whom we would not be able to continue to demonstrate the value of technology analyst firms that pride themselves on research and timely analysis to educate business and IT.
I wish everyone a Happy New Year and look forward to a great 2012!

Penguins, Camels, and Other Birds of a Feather: Brokerage, Boundary Spanning, and Leadership in Open Innovation Communities
Lee Fleming
Harvard University - Technology & Operations Management Unit
David Waguespack
University of Maryland
April 8, 2005
What types of human and social capital identify the emergence of leaders of open innovation communities? Consistent with the norms of an engineering culture, we find that future leaders must first make strong technical contributions. Beyond technical contributions, they must then integrate their voluntary communities in order to avoid the ever present danger of forking and balkanization. This is enabled by two correlated but distinct social positions: brokerage, and boundary spanning between technological modules. An inherent lack of trust associated with brokerage positions can be overcome through physical interaction or contributions within technological boundaries. Successful leaders are thus the product of strong technical contribution and a structural position that can bind the community together.

Pearmund Cellars
In Virginia Wine Circles, Chris Pearmund's influence is both expansive and wine ranging. Beyond his own wineries, Pearmund also serves as a consulting winemaker for a number of well-regarded wineries.
Pearmund Cellars , however, is really his touchstone. It is here where Pearmund first made his mark and here is where his name (and hand) is on every bottle.
Located on Georgetown Road in Broad Run Virginia, Pearmund Cellars vineyards date back to 1976, once they teamed with nine different varietals. Years of experience determined the estate soils were best suited for Chardonnay and Chardonnay alone.
Today over 11,000 Chardonnay vines thrive on fifteen acres. Far from a monolithic vineyard, there are several different cultivars and clones in the vineyards each selected for its respective vigor and flavor profile when combined with the specific microclimate.
Through long term lease agreements, the winery works with several other local growers to supply their other fruit needs. They tend to work with vineyards that specialize in one particular grape. This allows the other growers the opportunity to focus on that one varietal that performs best on their land. In addition, this lease strategy allows the winery to reduce risk of frost and animal damage by spreading the risk out geographically.
Another Pearmund innovation is the barrel ownership program which includes an etched plaque with the owners name as well as the details on the vintage aging in the barrel.
Owners have the ability to taste from "their" barrel during all four years the wine is aging. One the wine is complete, owners bring the barrels home for decorative use – or home winemaking.
The tasting experience at Pearmund Cellars is one that puts the customer experience first. From the first warm hello, the friendly tasting staff puts visitors put at ease. Without any pretension, the staff walks each guest through the tasting.
While the tasting room is modest in size, the real story is outside with the picnic tables. The tasting room staff has a firm understanding of wine and they do not come off as stuffy wine experts but more like neighbors who want you to try this great bottle of wine.
Pearmund Cellars Barrel Room is equally inviting with Italian tile and Spanish antique-gold light fixtures that add to the ambiance of stacked barrels filled with future vintages. The winery likes to suggest this is a great place to "pop the question". This writer believes such proposals if accepted, would garner some luck as the newly minted relationship might, as with wine, "only improve with age".
With over 24 years of experience, Chris Pearmund has been recognized for his dedication to the industry and his outstanding wines. His wines have won countless awards. Just last fall at Monticello, I was pleased to be on hand as Paradise Springs (a Pearmund client) won the Governor's Cup for white wine.
In the end it all comes down to winemaking philosophy and as Pearmund Cellars likes to say – "It's all about the wine".

Chloe I wish I could give you advise but I am right there with you. We miscarried the last week of October. We have ttc conceive for almost 3 years. My sister in law miscarried a month before me and she is already 12 weeks pregnant. I have another sister in law who is due in less than a week and another sister in law who told me she is going to try for baby #2 (she conceived baby #1 her 1st month trying while we had been trying months).
I am lost and confused. My DH and I wanted our baby so bad. It is so hard, everyone around us is pregnant. I thought this last time was finally our time. We have had two failed IVFs, got pregnant with the frozen transfer which I miscarried. I am going to try an iui but I am not sure how I am going to get thru it. The heart ache is unbearable. I guess I am getting thru this by knowing that I can't give up. I want a baby so much and I want to give my husband a child. We have so much emotionally, physically and financially invested in this to give up. There are days when I just want to bawl especially when I hold a newborn or hear a baby crying, sometimes I do have to excuse myself and bawl because my heart aches because I wan that for us. I just don't understand why it is so hard for us to conceive. Hang in there. Things have to get easier.

Post subject: I should have one by now...
This whole "TTC and waiting" thing STINKS! I should have a two week old baby with me right now! All of my friends have gotten pregnant and have had healthy babies. My wife has had to go to 7 baby showers since her D and C last December. She thinks she is letting me down and it's not fair for her. So, miscarriages are fairly common and yet we are the only one in our group of friends that it has happened to. Don't get me wrong, I would not want any of my friends to go through any of this... it just sucks! Mother's day was tough. People forget very quickly that she was pregnant... and nobody ever asks her how she's feeling etc. I wish this was the month that I can get her pregnant.

Post subject: New to this so bear with me!!
Ladies... Have spent the past hour reading all the posts and just wanted to say thanks for sharing. Been ttc for 12 months now and last 3 AF's have been 6 days late so getting hopes up and then AF arrives and tears follow lunch with a friend today and she announces she is PG saying "it all happened so quickly, we didn't realise how easy it was " arrrrggghhhhh!!!! Of course am soooo happy for her but arrrrrrrrrrhhhhh (again)! This is followed by two friends announcing their "accidents" and I just sit there trying not to cry and ruin lunch!!! Why is it sooooo unfair. OH trying to be supportive but as many of you have said on here, they just don't get it!! No need for replays just needed to rant so this forum is perfect. Thanks x

This may seem like a very irrational rant but it is much needed. My inlaws very sweetly offered to pay for a family vacation to Hawaii. The offer infuriated me. Yes, I said infuriated me. I bawled my eyes out. I do know I sound like an ungrateful witch. The majority of the expenses would be paid by them (airfare and hotel), we would just have to pay for our meals and entertainment. The problem is food and entertainment would cost a fortune and I feel like my money would be better in the bank to finance further infertility treatments or to cover any adoption expense we may encounter down the road. When Dh and I said thanks but no thanks, the inlaws tried to guilt us. Our income isn't half of either brother in laws and no one seems to take into consideration what is affordable to them may not be for us (which is why we said no to the trip). Why can't they just let us try to live within our means and let us pay on our fertility treatments? We are not made out of money! Everyone else in the family has young children and I know I would get stuck babysitting as we do not have the money to do anything. Why can't people just leave me alone. It has only been 3 weeks since my tubal and I am not ready to discuss the possibly of hanging up my dreams even though DH has been against trying again due to emotional and finacial loss with each attempt. I feel like if we do give in and go then DH will never let me try again bc of money spent on this trip. I want a healthy pregnancy and baby so bad!!!

Hi I had a period in like the early part of July going into the first day of august but on august 28th of this month I had a light cramping feeling and only a little bit of blood was there it wasn't brownish or pinkish in color just clear with a little blood I took a pregnancy test the 5th of September and it was negative and another one the 6th of September it had a line but it came after ten minutes so I'm guessing the accuracy was off so a negative but I didn't get a period so far and it is not September 16 do you think I had implantation bleeding ? Or an early period it only lasted 2 in a half days if I did have implantation bleeding when should I take another pregnancy test to get a positive

I'm completely new to this so you'll have to bear with me! I've been trying for around a year now and nothing's happening! A few missed periods here and there but nothing ever comes of it. I get my hopes up every time and then just feel so low when I get a negative result that I don't want to try again. Everyone keeps saying "it'll happen when it happens" "stop stressing and it'll happen" but all that is easier said than done and quite frankly I'm sick of hearing it! It makes it all the more frustrating that my partner already has a child so I just think it means the problem must lie within me and I feel he's not bothered because he already has a child. I've become some hopeless over the last few months that I've even looked in to other methods such as ivf and even adoption.
I haven't really put this on for a response I just needed a safe space to vent how I'm feeling as I don't feel able to talk to my partner, friends or family as they keep giving me the generic "it'll happen" response! Thanks for listening!

I know this is probably the case with all women having trouble getting pregnant but I am so tired with all my friends getting pregnant. I love them but every time they announce they are pregnant I just cry and punch pillows. It is like once we started trying boom babies everywhere. I also hate those friends who say "oh well we weren't even trying it just happened first time" I mean come on stop telling me this stuff. Again I still love these friends but please it is already hard enough knowing that everywhere I look women are pregnant, I don't need to you making me feel worse by saying it will happen when you're not expecting it or when you stop trying. Ok rant over thank you.

Set the snow shovel aside this week. The Tri-State is expecting temperatures to soar above average, but with the mild air there is a concern as the snow melts.
WLWT News 5's Jennifer Schack consulted with the National Weather Service and Ohio River Forecast Center Monday, discussing the possibility for flooding in the Tri-State this week.
After several recent snowfalls, the region is currently blanketed with at least 5 inches of snow, which is equivalent to 1 to 2 inches of water once it melts.
Melting this week, combined with a frozen ground, from recent temperatures near zero degrees, will cause runoff in area creeks and streams that will likely rise.
The snowmelt combined with rain in the forecast on Thursday will possibly lead to some localized flooding. Beyond Thursday, area rivers may also begin to rise.
The Ohio River at Cincinnati has been running low, below 30 feet, but it is expected to rise over the next seven days and be above the Action Stage of 41 feet in the long-range forecast.

The Alameda City Council will interview six candidates vying to become city manager on Saturday, when the council also likely will narrow the field to two or three finalists.
The finalists will be interviewed by three advisory panels -- one made up of community representatives, the others made up of city department heads and union representatives -- and the council will use their input to help make the final decision.
The council decided to create the panels on Tuesday as a way to gather a consensus on which candidate would be the best fit for the job, currently held by Acting City Manager Lisa Goldman.
"These are advisory opinions and the council will make the final determination," Mayor Marie Gilmore said.
After the union representatives and others interview finalists, the City Council may call some candidates back for a follow-up interview. "But we may decide that we don't need it," Councilmember Beverly Johnson said.
More than 65 people have applied for the city manager's job, said Karen Willis, Alameda's human resources director.
The effort to fill the job follows the council opting not to renew the contract of Interim City Manager Ann Marie Gallant when it expires in March. Gallant is currently on paid administrative leave.
Among the qualities that city officials are on record as wanting in the next city manager are an understanding of how state finances work and a track record supporting transparency in government.
City leaders also said they would not rule out a candidate who comes from the private sector. Living within the city is not a job requirement, they said.
Gilmore and Vice-Mayor Rob Bonta are overseeing the recruitment, which is being handled by the city's Human Services Department. No outside firm is screening candidates.

Mommy Nutter, what feeling is that? You mean the mental clarity, severely reduced anxiety and less depression?
Emily + Ryan
Lincoln Gray 06.23.10
Lorelei Sue 11.15.12
@ FioreMama
There ya go. Or wait, is this not good enough b/c it's not published by the FDA.
Bottom line here, we are all just doing what we think is right for our own children. One person's right isn't going to be the same as another person's. I for one think it's pretty selfish to be pregnant and drinking daily soda, eat HFCS, aspartame, food dyes, etc. To each their own, right?
On the other hand my cousin smoked ALL THE TIME through both of her pregnancies and her kids are great. The oldest is 4 and she is one of the smartest little girls I know. So I would ultimately say the decision is yours but why take the risk. If you can stop now and try to remain healthy.
Good luck,
And for the one that said you took Tylenol when you weren't supposed to your allowed to take Tylenol while pregnant its the only thing you can take for fever and pain. So do your research more thouroghly please.
Again I am not arguing for or against the safety of this drug during pregnancy. I don't smoke and never have so don't feel the need to research it out. Again for me even if you believe smoking is safe I would abstain because of the risk of having my children taken.
There aint no siggy here. Move along now.
Tylenol has food dyes, which was the point of the links. I thought most people would know that without saying, I should have pointed that out. Along with polysorbate 80, titanium dioxide, sulfates, and a laundry list of other things i can't pronounce. Not very organic and kind of scary, to me at least.
I will agree that since child services get involved in many places it should be stopped well in advance of labor so that doesn't happen. That's not an issue of safety, just common sense on the Mom's part!
I thought we were talking pure drugs. Just like I haven't been saying that you have no idea what is in your marijuana unless your growing it yourself.
My whole point is that I hate justifying one drug by saying look over there! That one is so much worse!
There aint no siggy here. Move along now.

Bank of America Website is Down For Some
Bank of America said a "very small population" of its banking customers are experiencing slow service on its online banking website, or were unable to access the site, Deal Journal colleague David Benoit is reporting.
There has been speculation about a possible pending dump of internal BofA documents from anti-secrecy organization Wikileaks, but the bank says the online problems are not security-related.
A Bank of America spokeswoman said the slowdown started early today and resulted from a routine systems change. The spokeswoman didn't comment on what the change was, and said the bank hopes it would be back to normal soon.
The online account problems have sparked of flood of interest — where else? — online. Five of the top 20 hottest searches on Google are related to Bank of America. And BofA's help account on Twitter account is doing a brisk business in queries this afternoon.
Hopefully, BofA's outage won't be as lasting as one J.P. Morgan Chase experienced in September, when access to its online banking service was interrupted for three days. J.P. Morgan pledged to refund fees from any missed payments resulting from the outage.

Little Potatoes Recipe
Submitted By:from Glencoe.
Little Potatoes Notes
Favorite recipe of a dear friend. Popular with children as well as adults.
- 12-16 small (golf ball size) new red potatoes
- 2-3 tablespoons whole coriander
- to taste, freshly ground black pepper
- to taste, kosher salt or coarse sea salt
- 1/8 cup olive oil
Serves / Yields
4 servings
Preparation Instructions
Take each potato and place on a flat, hard surface and bash it lightly with a cooking pot - you want to crack open the potato, not obliterate it. Potato should not be in pieces, but be broken open. The potato should have about 3 or 4 cracks in it and have the interior visible.
Place the bashed potatoes in a bowl and drizzle with olive oil.
Place the coriander seeds into a baggie, plastic wrap, or paper towel and bash them until well cracked and in small pieces (one-quarter or one-eighth of a seed). Sprinkle the coriander on the oiled potatoes.
Next, grind pepper and sprinkle salt over potatoes in the bowl.
Now, stir the potatoes and seasonings to make sure the potatoes are thoroughly coated and seasoned. Try to get oil and seasonings into the cracks in the potatoes.
Pour every little bit into the prepared baking pan and place in 450F oven for about 15-20 minutes.
Spuds are done when fork tender and the torn edges are browning just a bit.
Helpful Hints
Line the baking dish with aluminum foil before putting the potatoes in. It will make clean-up a breeze.
Recipe is easy to expand.
Wonderful with broiled or grilled fish.
You might be able to do it in foil on a grill (I haven't tried this, but you can.).
