Plans to stage a grand prix in New Jersey next year have been shelved until 2014 because the organisers are not ready.
Bernie Ecclestone, Formula One's chief executive, had included the race on the 2013 calendar but he confirmed today that it has been dropped over missed deadlines on financial guarantees.
Ecclestone had envisaged the New Jersey race being one of two American grands prix next season but the race in Austin, Texas will instead be the lone US event on the programme when it takes place in October.
Promoters of the race were due to make an official announcement

The facility at 6569 Clay Ave. SW, located next to the hotel, has added a full-service catering staff and chef as part of its $400,000 expansion including equipment and remodeling.
Chef Mike Burns was brought on board to offer a variety of options and price ranges to customers. He joins a staff of 30 new part-time and full-time banquet employees and event planners.
The expansion also included renovations to the lobby area with an built-in bar and new audio visual equipment.
Crossroads, which opened two years ago, formerly used an outside caterer and bartenders. The 4,000-square-foot ballroom with a capacity for 280 people can be partitioned into three sections.
Owner Sudhir Modi runs the center in tandem with the hotel, which he opened in 2004. He said he wanted to fill a void in the area for "a very high quality establishment with food and technology."
Tanya Horan, sales and events coordinator, said the goal is to accommodate any budget. There is special non-profit pricing and no minimum requirements.
"In this economy, we're here to help you be a success without hurting your pocketbook," she said.
Burns , with 30 years of experience in the restaurant industry, worked as a chef at Wallinwood Springs Golf Club for the past 15 years.
"I like to do a little bit of everything," said Burns, while serving white- and dark-chocolate drizzled lady fingers with chocolate truffles and puff pastries.

Christian volunteers offer tornado relief
TENNESSEE / NORTH CAROLINA - A local organization is stepping up to help those in need in Nebraska.
The international Christian organization Samaritan's Purse headed out to the devastated state to help with relief. Their headquarters in North Carolina tell us the troops headed out with chainsaws, plastic tarps, generators, and other tools less than 24 hours after the twin tornadoes hit.
They are headed for the hard-hit town of Pilger. We're told the staff works with local emergency officials and local churches to determine where help is needed most.
If you are interest in volunteering with Samaritan's Purse go to spvolunteernetwork.org.

'I recall us discussing how our relationship would never work,' he says
The promised land for the ambitious in TV these days is no longer New York or Los Angeles but Dallas. When actress Joan van Ark was offered a featured part in two episodes of the CBS blockbuster, she hesitated. "They wanted me to leave the next morning for Texas," recalls van Ark, 34. "It wasn't just the short notice; I didn't know if I wanted to play the mother of a 16-or 17-year-old girl." At the urging of husband John Marshall, 35, a top correspondent for the NBC-owned station in L.A., she took the part. It was just as well for her career since the guest spot led to starring in the new Dallas spin-off, Knots Landing.
Joan has settled into the role of Valene Ewing, J.R.'s California sister-in-law and down-and-out mother of Lucy (Charlene Tilton). It's only fair, of course, that van Ark took the job because she was willing to give up her whole career for Marshall 14 years before. "She was in London doing Barefoot in the Park," remembers John, who had been her high school steady, "and I was in the Air Force in Germany. I started commuting to London on weekends and said, 'Why don't we make this cheaper—come back to Germany with me.' " She did, but not without a warning from her agent that it meant bye-bye to her budding career. "At that time a wife stayed home and cleaned and cooked," says van Ark now. "But after a weekend in Paris I finally knew I had a catch."
Van Ark's father, a journalist, and her mother, a free-lance writer, moved from New York to Boulder, Colo. when Joan was 7. Her interest in the theater began after a boyfriend jilted her at a prom. That threw her into a fit of melodrama and Joan needed an outlet. At 17, she interviewed Julie Harris for a Denver newspaper, asking, "What does an actress do who doesn't want to go to college and study jelly beans and basket weaving?" Julie was sympathetic, and upon her advice van Ark applied to Yale's drama grad school. She was the second woman to attend Yale drama straight from high school—Harris was first—and the youngest student ever. (So it was affecting to Joan when Harris appeared in a January episode of Knots Landing, along with van Ark's and Marshall's daughter, Vanessa, 10.)
Yale, van Ark remembers, "was a test of concentration to walk across campus. I felt I stood out so much I used to count the cracks in the sidewalk, because if I looked up at all those guys I really hyperventilated." She later worked in regional theater in Minneapolis and Washington, then played opposite Richard Benjamin in Barefoot in the Park on Broadway. When the show went to Europe, she renewed her romance with Marshall. "We went together for three years and were separated, married and divorced before we actually got married," she cracks about their courtship.
Marshall—he changed his name from Marsilio because it was simpler to pronounce on the air—was born in L.A., the son of a Hollywood stunt man and a dressmaker. After his parents divorced, he moved to Boulder with his mother. John still remembers his first encounter with Joan at Boulder High. "Her long blond hair was swaying above her rear end, and I said, 'Hey, this one's different,' " he reports. "But we really met when the broadcasting and drama clubs merged to form a speech club." By the time he finished high school, John was working full-time for local radio station KBOL, then became a newscaster for Armed Forces television while in the Air Force. Returning to the U.S. in 1966, he tried the management side of ABC, but then switched back to journalism. Recently he turned down a lucrative offer from an opposing network because it would mean more time away from Joan and Vanessa.
They live in an unpretentious ranch-style house in North Hollywood. "The mortgage payments are cheaper than our utility bill," says Joan. Robert (Vega$) Urich and his wife, Heather Menzies, are neighbors. Marshall and van Ark are searching for a new home, she notes, because "We have only one bathroom and I hate it." ("Henry Winkler bought the house I wanted," she gripes. "I love that place and, so help me, before I kick the bucket I'll live in it.")
Van Ark has another complaint. "I sometimes resent that John's a stuffed-shirt newsman, so organized and together," she says. "All he has to do is run an Afro comb though his hair, while I have to get up at 4:30 in the morning to shampoo and dry mine." He, in turn, marvels at Joan's "silly" superstitious ways. She has held up shooting on Knots just because "I had forgotten to put my good luck pieces in my bra. It was a silver dollar and a rabbit's foot that Vanessa gave me—it helps me emotionally." She adds with a smile, "Plus, I'm very flat there too."
John's obviously the more easygoing member of the couple. "My workday rarely goes into the next day," explains Marshall. "The only thing I ever have to do at home is check the other networks' treatment of the news, pick up the newsmagazines and keep up on what's happening. If I can't get my act together by 5, forget it." That makes him the family cook by default.
Neither watches TV except in the line of duty, and they share a passion for running. They both qualified for and competed in the 1979 Boston Marathon. "We run at least 10 miles a day," says Joan. "I do it because I don't see a shrink. It's a lot cheaper." Adds her husband: "If I could run a three-hour marathon, it would mean more to me than anything I've ever done professionally." (His best time is 3:07, hers is 3:26.)
Joan's landmarks include a horror feature opposite Ray Milland, The Frogs, which made princes out of no one involved. "I didn't have to take my clothes off or say any four-letter words," she later explained, looking on the bright side. Knots Landing is her third TV series (after Temperatures Rising and We've Got Each Other). She won a Tony nomination in 1971 for her Broadway role in Molière's The School for Wives. Van Ark has also appeared in about 200 commercials and 50 series guest shots. She even does the voice-over for Spiderwoman on the ABC Saturday morning series.
As for a career move by Marshall to New York or Washington, where the journalistic challenges are greater, he says, "That will come later, perhaps when Vanessa's older." Four years ago, on their 10th anniversary, the couple renewed their vows in front of family and friends in Boulder. Their original wedding announcement had been sent out in the form of a theater ticket that read, "Taming of the Shrew, one performance only." Critiques Joan: "Fortunately, it's been a long run."
What Made Joan Van Ark Run (Away)? Knots Landing, but Her Newsman Husband Persuaded Her to Take the CBS Series

Beeler Street Community Garden
Established in 1995, the Beeler Street Community Garden has been fostering a sense of community in Aurora, Colorado for over 18 years. Beeler Street Garden was created by Doris Emsley, a grandmother and community advocate who worked to rid the neighborhood of crime and food insecurity. The garden is a member of Denver Urban Gardens which is the garden's fiscal agent. The one acre garden offers forty-six individual plots with an estimated 140 gardeners and their families. The garden is a melting pot of cultures with gardeners coming from the United States and all corners of the world including Nepal, Mexico, Bhutan and Myanmar. The garden increases families' access to fresh produce and opportunity for physical activity. The garden also contributes to a healthy mental state by providing an opportunity to enjoy fresh air and to connect with neighbors. The garden allows families who live in surrounding apartments the opportunity to take ownership of a small piece of land. Gardeners are able to grow their own cultural foods which may be difficult to find at the local grocery stores. The steering committee plans garden gatherings once per month in the summer to promote a sense of community and to get families and the neighborhood involved in the garden. Gatherings include healthy refreshments, music, dancing, games and garden projects.

The Os and the Macs
John Grenham
An axiom of all research is that absolutely no reliance can be placed on the precise spelling of surnames. So the reason I'm blue in the face is not apnoea or an impending heart attack, it's from telling people over and over and over that it makes no difference whether your Quin family have been insanely fussy about spelling their surname with one N for the past three centuries. Ninety-nine times out of a hundred, the person writing the name down was not a Quin, and couldn't give a hoot.
And then look at what Irish research throws up: A family in Leitrim whose surname appears in a parish register as "Breheny" (from Mac an Bhreithiún, son of the Brehon lawyer or judge) in the 1830s and "Judge" in the 1840s; O'Sullivans recorded in the Beara peninsula as Bunow, Caobach, Bawn, Barrule, … ; Cadogans who are O'Driscolls and Caniffes who are O'Mahonys. Is it any wonder that Irish researchers' insistence on surname variation can seem a bit hysterical?
But useful information does exist in patterns of surname spelling, only not at the scale of individual families. The best-known Irish variation is the treatment of "O" and "Mc/Mac" as optional in English-language records. In Griffith's Valuation in the mid nineteenth century, some 16,000 households were recorded as O', but more than 100,000 as Mc. Evidently, O was more easily ignored than Mc. Look more closely at where the names are recorded, and it emerges that almost 70% of the Mc households are recorded in the nine counties of Ulster, while the eight counties along the Atlantic seaboard account for almost 60% of the O names.
This is hard historical evidence. But what does it show? That, in Ulster, the last stronghold of Gaelic culture, people retained their grasp on
['Irish Roots archive from 2009 at www.irishtimes.com/ancestor/magazine/column] surnames? That Ulster's Scots Gaelic cousins encouraged a popular retention of Gaelic surnames? Or that Ulster people were (are?) just more stubborn than the rest of us?

Austin, my long-time home, is known as the nicest California city that's not actually in California.
I'd go a step beyond that. It's actually the best California city, period, because its convenient location outside of California means there's no onerous state income tax.

Made-to-Measure Mythology
When a lot of guys hear the phrase "custom suit" they have visions of filthy rich fat cats barking orders to their underlings while a team of tailors scurries around getting their measurements for a made-to-measure suit. Or, perhaps they imagine a stuffy old aristocrat being driven into town from his country manor to try on his made-to-measure suit. Maybe they even know someone who took a business trip and came back with a suitcase full of custom suits he had made on a layover.
Like most mythology, these ideas are based on facts, but things are different today. High quality custom clothing, made with the same cloth, construction and cuts you'll find on high-end off the rack suits, is available to a much wider range of people than ever before. Unlike getting a higher priced, more showy designer label suit, ("Did you happen to see the label when I took off my jacket?…Because I really wanted you to notice the designer label when I took off my jacket. But enough about me, let's talk about the label on my jacket.") getting a custom suit made-to measure by a skilled craftsperson is not solely the domain of the rich and famous.
A Case for Custom Suits
We've all felt it before – the anxiety of spending a bit more money than we'd like on article of designer-branded clothing. And it often goes against our natural instincts to pull the trigger…an internal conflict often arises in this familiar form: "I don't really want to spend this much, but I'd love to have (designer) brand X." So why do we do it? We splurge (or "invest," as we euphemistically like to say) on luxury brand name products for two main reasons: 1) we believe we are paying for better quality and 2) we desire the social elevation associated with owning luxury brand products – wealth, class, taste and sophistication. And without a doubt, these reasons are important to many of us. We all want good quality and we all want to feel like we're part of something exclusive – there's nothing wrong with that. But the better question to ask is how can you get a product that satisfies the aforementioned criteria without breaking the bank, and in return, get an even better investment?
In this article, we're going to break down Black Lapel suits vs. some notable designer brands. The purpose is not to push our products on you (though we obviously won't be upset if it convinces you to give us a try!) but to show you that the menswear space, particularly online, has some great options that are worth exploring. From high quality tees to chinos, specialty accessories and other types of casual wear, there are brands that will satisfy your quality criteria without diminishing that crucial swag factor. But since we make, know and love high-quality suits, we figured it'd be best to start here.
So what do you get when you go with a Black Lapel suit vs. an off-the-rack (OTR) designer brand?
- Equal or Better Quality: From fabric quality to construction method, a Black Lapel custom suit can compete with, if not surpass that of an OTR designer suit. A Black Lapel suit, for example, is made with 100% Australian Merino wool and crafted by master tailors with over 20 years of experience. And yes, we make all of our clothing in China (specifically, in Shanghai) and we're not afraid to admit that because what may (or may not) come as a surprise to you, is that most luxury brands do as well. Are tons of cheap, inexpensive clothing made in China? Sure. But that doesn't take away from the fact that many quality, luxury goods are now also made in China.
- Personally Designed: Going custom means having control over a dozen different options so you're not limited to any particular detail. With an OTR brand, you take what you get.
- Individualized Fit: The most obvious benefit of going custom means owning a suit that's made for you and only you. With an OTR suit, you are conforming to a pre-determined size that's meant to fit as many people as possible. Since no two bodies are built the same way, this will naturally result in an inferior fit for many.
- Brand Yourself: Your "swag factor" (as we often call it) isn't determined by the amount of money you spend on clothing, it's determined by intelligently spending money on clothing that makes you look and feel your best. There's nothing wrong with dropping loot on designer-brand clothing, unless you think that doing so will somehow transform you into James Bond. James Bond would be James Bond with or without a Tom Ford suit…and so long as he's got that Bond swagger and looks good in what he wears, we'd still dig him. So remember that a brand does not and should not define you. You should define yourself in whatever you choose to wear – i.e., you should brand yourself. And in our humble opinion, there's no better way to brand yourself than to wear high quality clothes that are made by you, for you.
That all being said, how does a made-to-measure company like Black Lapel stack up against some of the best designer brands at 2x-4x the price? Let's take a look:
How does a made-to-measure company like Black Lapel do what it does?
This must be too good to be true right? How else would a company like Black Lapel create designer-quality custom suits at inherently discounted prices? For one, we've done extensive traveling, research and testing to find the best. And secondly, we have streamlined our business to eliminate many costs that would traditionally get passed on to you. Specifically, we have:
- No physical storefronts: The entire custom shopping experience is completely online. The benefit is that we can pass on the savings of a lean operation directly to you – i.e., not having to maintain the costs of having physical stores (inventory, rent, equipment, sales people, etc.).
- No 3rd party distributors: We don't wholesale to stores, who would mark up items before selling them to you; we make each suit individually for you and ship it directly to you.
- No designer label markups: Ever wonder why a designer brand will sell a regular t-shirt for a couple Benjamins? Because they can – some people will buy it. Can we do the same? Sure. Many customers often tell us that we're crazy because they'd willingly pay double the price of what we charge. Then why don't we? By making luxury-quality clothing more accessible, the world is a better place because more men can dress better and feel better about themselves. Real talk.
Many of you might have had your doubts about what you would get when you pay less for something that's supposed to be of equivalent quality. After all, the market has conditioned us to think that higher price = better quality. It might be true in some cases, but often times, the premium you pay comes from the brand name itself – and how important that is to you is really a matter of personal choice.
So before your next clothing purchase, go online first and do some exploring. Find brands that stand behind quality products and care about how these products can help you look and feel better; understand their customer service policies and email them to see how they can help you achieve sartorial goals. There are some companies just like ours who are built to give you a lot more bang for your buck and are passionate about making sure that you're entirely satisfied with what you get. We encourage you to come and see for yourself. So the next time you want some fresh custom clothes, we'll be waiting.
If you have any questions, comments or concerns about clothing, your job, your next date or life in general, we're happy to talk shop. Just email us at firstname.lastname@example.com or talk to us on Facebook and Twitter.

Faced with high electric bills due largely to oil prices, many of our customers at the Hawaiian Electric companies are understandably turning to solar to reduce their costs. More than 8 percent of our Maui customers now have solar - more, by far, than anywhere on the Mainland.
The tough part when in the forefront is that the path forward is not certain. Due to the extremely high levels of rooftop solar in some neighborhoods, the safety and reliability risks are real. Hawaiian Electric companies need to find solutions to these challenges on our own, and we know we need to move faster.
We also need to communicate more and sooner so that our customers know we're focused on solving these problems. For those who have been waiting for approval to install their solar systems, I know it's frustrating. As president and chief executive officer, I assure everyone that we're working hard to address these challenges, utilizing every resource we have with technical support from industry and government research institutions.
In the big picture, these challenges signal a much bigger evolution in our company and in our industry. We're transitioning on multiple fronts: from oil to renewable energy; from centralized power plants to distributed power sources throughout the electric grid; from less flexible big generating units to more flexible small ones; and from a system that sends energy in one direction from power plants to customers to a multidirectional grid.
And we're making headway.
Case in point: The recent deactivations of our Honolulu Power Plant and Shipman plant on Hawaii Island as well as two generating units at the Kahului Power Plant. More deactivations of older fossil fuel plants are ahead, including two generators at Waiau Power Plant. A total of 226 megawatts - more than 14 percent of our utility-owned generation - will be turned off by 2016. The two remaining Kahului generators will be shut down by 2019.
Together, our energy ecosystem is making steady progress on renewable energy. In 2013, 18 percent of the electricity used by our customers came from renewable sources, up from 14 percent in 2012. And we've already met Hawaii's milestone goal of 15 percent by 2015.
We need to evolve to meet the changing expectations and needs of our customers. Now more than ever, customers expect prompt and useful information, choices and control. Rate options that reward careful users, special discount rates for charging electric vehicles, a smart grid that means faster power restoration, easier integration of renewables and the ability for residents to better manage your energy use and costs as never before. We have implemented or are proposing all of these.
For more than a century, utility grids were built and expanded to carry power one way only. But with customers now able to generate their own energy, we must, in a fraction of that time, adapt the electric system to allow power to flow in many directions at once. In the future, we see our central role as the grid operator enabling the integration of more low-cost renewable energy - both centralized and distributed - while still sustaining safe and reliable service.We're collaborating with others to help do just that.
For example, we're working with the Hawaii Natural Energy Institute on smart grid and smart inverter technology that gives customers more control over their energy use and could help integrate greater amounts of rooftop solar. Other energy storage trials are underway. As we move to this renewable future, we're pursuing other options to reduce the use of expensive, imported oil to help lower customers' electric bills. Liquefied natural gas is a cleaner, nearer term option that can potentially save customers $300 million to $500 million per year.
In a dynamically changing environment, we know we must continue to adapt. And with the help of our customers, regulators and other policymakers and stakeholders, we are.
* Dick Rosenblum is the president and chief executive officer of Hawaiian Electric Co.

Looking for new (volunteer) faces
11 March 2008
by Debbie Andalo
Donald Ndhlovu, who came to the UK from Zimbabwe six years ago, spends two hours a week helping pupils at an after school club in inner city Bristol get to grips with the nuances of the English language and their new life on this side of the world.
Ndhlovu, 23, who is in the final year of his forensic science degree at the University of the West of England, believes sharing a similar background means he can bring something extra to his volunteering role. He can be more open minded about pupils' problems and the issues they face integrating into a new society.
Gabby Brent, who is studying life skills courses at a further education college in Islington, north London, signed up to volunteer for different reasons. The 20-year-old, who spends Friday afternoons data inputting and doing other administrative tasks at the headquarters of the charity Scope, says the chance to volunteer has given him valuable work experience as well as the opportunity to help others.
Brent says: "It's giving me experience and making me feel more confident about my skills in the future and I enjoy meeting other people."
Both Brent and Ndhlovu are helping to break the stereotypical image of the student volunteer who has traditionally been white, middle class and more often than not, female. The need to attract people from more diverse and under-represented backgrounds into volunteering was highlighted last month by the influential commission on the future of volunteering, headed by the Liberal Democrat peer Rabbi Julia Neuberger.
The commission's report, Manifesto for Change, acknowledged that asylum seekers, refugees, disabled and homeless people and those with mental health problems are under-represented in volunteering. The commission called on the government to establish a £1m access to volunteering fund to target these groups and make volunteering more inclusive.
Professor John Annette, from Birkbeck College in London, was a member of the commission and is chair of the higher education community partnerships - a national network to encourage more university students to volunteer. Historically, volunteering has attracted white middle-class students who grew up surrounded by a family ethos of volunteering, says Annette, who is pro vice master for widening participation and community participation.
"Middle-class students don't need to work as many part-time hours as students from lower income families. It's tough to have to find time to volunteer if you are studying and working part time to fund your degree as well," he says.
He believes that students from diverse backgrounds, especially former refugees or asylum seekers, can make valuable volunteers because of the understanding they have of their own communities. But he says lack of investment in volunteering generally by universities has made it more difficult for disabled students to get involved.
He says: "The university volunteering programme has not had the resources to establish the sort of internships for these [disabled] students to enable them to volunteer. They are excellent volunteers but it's just the extent to which universities invest in supporting volunteers."
Adrian Middleton, who runs the inclusive volunteering programme at Scope, works to break down the barriers to volunteering for students like Brent.
"The barriers are about attitudes as well as physical barriers. It's about people's misconceptions - the belief that it's going to be more work and more trouble. They are often perceived barriers, and there are simple solutions like putting in a higher desk if somebody is a wheelchair user or getting a different kind of computer mouse or keyboard. They are small changes but often the perception is big."
One issue is lack of investment in promoting student volunteering, essential if these under-represented groups are to be persuaded about the value of giving up free time to help others.
Between 2002-06 the government, through its higher education active community fund, made available £37m for universities to spend on setting up infrastructure to support student volunteering. When that funding dried up it was replaced by a total of £15m - available until 2009 - set aside in the Higher Education Funding Council for England's (Hefce) teaching quality enhancement fund (TQEF). Universities can apply for a grant of between £15,000 and £279,000.
Mary Ingleby, who runs the student volunteering service at Aston University in the West Midlands, has around 200 student volunteers who reflect the mix of its 7,000 population, which has 58% from ethnic minorities.
She says: "We don't target a specific group of students, but we do monitor who volunteers and make sure it reflects our student population."
Aston's volunteering services, which benefited from a Hefce grant and money from the TQEF, are part of its outreach and widening participation department.
"We took the view to put that money into a university office for sustainability reasons because for us continuity was important. We are constantly looking for our next stream of funding but we feel comfortable that it would be underwritten by the university because volunteering and community support is something which the university has been committed to for a long time," adds Ingleby.
Volunteering England, the organisation which that promotes voluntary work, is hopeful that next week's national student volunteering week (February 25 tmto March 2) will help raise the profile of volunteering and persuade more students from all backgrounds to sign up.
Its head of student volunteering, Lizzie Cole, says: "The whole benefit of volunteering is that you give the gift of your time and any particular background you may have and personal skills. You don't need qualifications - it's about what you bring personally to the role.
"It's important to engage all different types of groups and we want to see more opportunities for volunteering for students - whatever their background."
But for Annette the solution to increasing the diversity of student volunteers is a step beyond national publicity campaigns. He wants to see students given a financial incentive or reward in exchange for volunteering.
He says: "The simple solution is not to call it volunteering but something like civic or public service and in return offer students further education scholarships or financial credit towards helping to pay off their student loan."

If you watch as much CNBC and other financial news media as I do, you know that there are all kinds of metrics that economists and investors use to measure the strength of the economy and to be honest, most people, from the professional investors to the individual investor don't care about most of them. The academics enjoy analyzing the numbers but they mean next to nothing for your quality of life.
But that's not the case with one metric. Each year Fidelity releases the average 401(k) balance for all of its 11 million customers. Investors watch this number closely because Fidelity holds more 401(k) accounts than any other investing firm and their report is a direct measure of the health of the average American worker's retirement account.
The 2012 number will likely come out in May but the 2011 report [3] showed that the average 401(k) balance was $75,000, up 12% from the 2010 report. This is great news for investors who saw a significant portion of their balance lost in 2008 and 2009.
Even more significant, two thirds of the gains were a result of market gains and only one third came from direct contributions meaning that the market is rewarding us for saving and investing, something that it hasn't done very well for the few years prior. 10% of customers reported contributing more to their 401(k) while only 3.2% cutting contributions.
The only concerning stat in the report was that 22.1% of plan holders reported borrowing from their 401(k), down only slightly from the all-time high of 22.4% just three months earlier. This proves that American households are still under significant financial pressure only three years after what is now called, "The Great Recession".
What the report doesn't tell us is how prepared we are for retirement. The average 401(k) balance may be $75,000 but for somebody close to retirement, that will likely be far less than what they need to replace a significant portion of their working salary unless they have other retirement funds in place. For the thirty something worker, the reported average may represent a healthy balance in the early stages of their career.
2012 Forecast
As we look ahead to the 2012 Fidelity report, what is it likely to show? Since the report highlights balances through March 31st of the current year, it's likely to show another year of impressive gains. Although the stock market ended 2011 almost exactly flat, the first quarter of 2012 was the best since 1998 with a gain of more than 5.4%.
Many factors affect a person's retirement balance but as we've seen over the past half-decade, when the overall market does well, our 401(k), regardless of the funds we choose, tends to do the same.
Keep Contributing
Don't let reports or market conditions affect your contribution schedule. Contributing an amount equal to the maximum your company will match and leaving it invested is still the best way to see the most growth out of your 401(k) regardless of what the stock market does.
Find a fee only financial adviser that you trust and have them review your funds annually. Many will do this as an a la carte service. Once you know that you have the right funds, leave it alone and consider contributing to an IRA. Financial professionals throw around a lot of different figures but it may take a 13% or more yearly contribution to your retirement accounts to be ready to retire comfortably. That, of course, depends on a lot of variables and that's where the trusted financial adviser can help.

Jon Gruden Thinks Bucs Will Win NFC South
Former Tampa Bay coach Jon Gruden picked the Buccaneers to win the NFC South on Thursday while offering up a passionate endorsement of beleaguered quarterback Josh Freeman.
In an ESPN conference call, the ?Monday Night Football?? analyst lauded the talent on the Bucs? roster and said Tampa Bay is poised to end a five-year postseason drought.
?I think this is the year for Tampa to win the division and return to the playoffs,?? Gruden said. ?I have a lot of confidence Tampa is going to be a very good football team this year.??
Gruden coached the 2002 Bucs to a Super Bowl victory in his first season on the Tampa Bay sidelines and posted a 57-55 record over seven years. He was dismissed after the 2008 season when the Bucs posted a second consecutive 9-7 mark.

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The Indians last won a division title in 2007, before that in 2001.
Only in Cicada Nation would that be considered a regular occurrence.
Six years removed from their last playoff appearance, the Indians must prove they're capable of another emergence from the subterranean reaches of the AL Central.
Sunday's crowd of 14,015 on a postcard afternoon suggested an understandable amount of wait-and-see still in the air even after a six-game win streak and slo-pitch softball offensive numbers.
What we know about the Indians as the warmer weather settles in is the following:
They can hit.
They're resilient.
Moving on . . .
Actually, that's not fair.
They manufactured a run Sunday in a streak-busting 4-2 loss to Minnesota that speaks to their versatility and aggressiveness.
Asdrubal Cabrera doubled and stole third with a deft slide. In a tough at-bat not often associated with big swingers, Mark Reynolds managed a sacrifice fly that scored Cabrera and cut the Twins' lead in half.
"It's something different every night," Terry Francona said of what he liked about his team as it won nine of 12 games and steadied itself after a tough start. "When you're going through a good period -- if your starting pitching gives you a good chance every night, you don't have to reel off a bunch of wins to feel good about your team."
The starting pitching that blunted the excitement over Francona's hiring and the free agent acquisitions of Nick Swisher and Michael Bourn hasn't quite been the wreck we expected.
How's that for high praise?
If there's a lesson to learn from the last two Indians' teams to carry summer contention to first place and the playoffs it's that an Indians' starting pitcher you didn't expect needs to have a breakout season.
Surely, it can happen without it, but given this team's precarious rotation it won't happen here without one (or more) Indians' starter surprising us.
In 2007, the emergence of Fausto Carmona made it possible to offset a poor season by Cliff Lee.
In 2001, Charlie Manuel pushed hard for CC Sabathia to go north out of spring training. Sabathia finished 17-5 and second in Rookie of the Year voting to an especially ripe Ichiro Suzuki.
The Indians of 2013 have young pitchers who can keep them in games, as Corey Kluber did Sunday and as Trevor Bauer battles to do despite a haywire compass needle.
But you don't see a Carmona, Sabathia or Jaret Wright in this group. There may be a budding Chad Ogea but it's way too early to cast even that shadow over them.
The can-you-believe-that season -- by default -- looks as if it's going to have to come from a reclamation project if it comes at all. While that sounds a lot like Scott Kazmir, since he spent last season pitching for the Sugarland Skeeters, the pitcher with the most basement-to-ceiling room is Ubaldo Jimenez.
Jimenez pitches Monday against the A's. You won't find Francona making Monday night sound any more important than any other start, let alone any other game. What we know is the Indians aren't going to make the playoffs without Jimenez becoming what they thought they traded for in 2011.
His last start, seven shutout innings in Kansas City, hinted at the possibility.
"I wouldn't be a very good manager if you didn't feel good about sending your guys out there," said Francona when asked if he feels much better about Jimenez than he did a week ago. "We were very excited about the way he threw (last time).
"A big part of our game is backing those up and being consistent. If that starts happening, it's going to get pretty exciting around here in a hurry."
The Indians started 30-15 in 2011, the year they dealt the organization's top prospects to Colorado for Jimenez. They were investing in a two-year window. They may have extended that with the free agent signings of Michael Bourn and Nick Swisher, but Ubaldo's time is coming to an end.
And if the Indians thought they needed him to chase a pennant two years ago, what do they need from him now, standing at 14-14 in a division where the Tigers are World Series regulars?
It's never dull when Jimenez takes the mound. Monday's start should give us a clue about how far we still are from Francona's hope that things could get pretty exciting around here.
Not to mention the chances of scratching another six-year itch.

Dear Editor
I missed getting killed or injured seriously at the three way stop on Carolina and Marion Street. I had stopped at the stop sign on Marion Street. When it was time for me to go, I made a left turn onto Carolina. A car going east on Carolina came barreling toward me. We both took evasive action. Thankfully, I survived as it was a narrow miss.
I had noticed on two days prior to this event, that a trees limb and leaves were obstructing the stop sign on Carolina going east. Not only that, but it's hard to see the stop sign anyway. There is other vegetation obstructing the view before you get to the stop sign. Add to that the fact that the sign is dirty or dull, and you have a catastrophe waiting to happen.
I think a blinking warning light should be installed on Carolina before you get to the stop sign.
I don't know who is responsible for taking action, but I would like for someone to take action soon.
Until something is done, I will not approach Carolina from Marion Street. I'm too afraid.

Brain Injuries
A traumatic brain injury ("TBI") is a sudden blow or penetrating wound to the head that disrupts the brain's normal functions. Many of these are mild injuries such as concussions -- but thousands more have serious and permanent effects on their victims. At their most serious, brain injuries cause permanent intellectual or physical disabilities, or even death. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about 1.4 million Americans suffer a traumatic brain injury each year, and 5.3 million live with a permanent disability related to a TBI. The agency reports that the leading causes of TBIs include:
- Falls and being struck by heavy objects
- Car, truck and motorcycle crashes
- Gunshot wounds
- Sports injuries
Mesirow & Associates represents victims of brain injury and their loved ones. We represent clients throughout the Washington, D.C. area (including suburbs in Maryland and Virginia) and Baltimore (including its surrounding counties).
Because the brain controls nearly every part of our lives, a TBI can change its victims' lives, causing disabilities, lifelong neurological disorders, emotional problems and even personality changes. Legal claims involving a brain injury may require testimony from experts in a variety of fields to establish the full extent of the victim's injuries -- physical, financial and personal. Our firm has well over a decade of experience handling these complex cases, supporting each individual case with a custom-built team of experts. As an injury law firm, we are dedicated to treating these victims with understanding and compassion, while aggressively pushing for the best and fairest possible financial results.
If you or someone you love has sustained a serious brain injury, please contact us through our Web site or call us at 866-463-0303 (toll-free) or 202-463-0303 to learn more about your legal options.

Share a little about the materials, processes and techniques used to create this cake: This was a cake I donated for my town's Police Dog's 2nd Birthday. I worked with all of Elisa's recommended recipes & techniques, however I did not have the time to dry-dust the colors onto the dog's fur (of course I was doing this type of cake for the 1st time, AND at the very last minute! Never a good combination!) Our Police Dog is a gorgeous, purebred German Shepherd, so that breed was may goal. I could have used more time to make sure the snout of my dog was the correct length/shape. It came out a little too long and weird, but I think if I had more time to play with it, I would have gotten it...kind of. Also, with the coloring...I literally had 30 minutes before the "Birthday Picnic" to color it, so next time, I would be more careful painting, using better "blending" techniques", That said, the airbrushing really worked well...and quickly!
Thank you Elisa for such a great tutorial! I will practice more!
OMG !Wendy, that is phenomenal!
Honored that you took my class! You are amazing! xo,E
That is so cute!! Love the paws and i always feel that if those look right, the rest follows. Yes the snout is a little long but it is funny in a cartoon kinda way. I just love dog cakes.
Can i just add for those who airbrush last minute that i recently discovere Dawn Butler's airbrush colours which dry instantly ie matt, and allow quick work and superimposing layers without wait in between. When i did an airbrush cake recently, it took ages having to eait for the paint to dry a little between layers, and took overnight for the airbrush paint to dry enough that the cake dodnt look gloopy and sticky.

On the Rising Inflation Rate in Ethiopia
By Seid Hassan*
Even though many causes could be mentioned, the main culprits of the inflation rates in Ethiopia are supply shortages, excess money supply and devaluation. To make matters worse, the government imposed price caps, which in turn have made a substantial portion of consumer products to disappear from the market.
As I indicated before, inflation in Ethiopia would remain a perennial problem unless the government in power both acknowledges and takes measures to alleviate the supply shortages, tightens its expansionary monetary and fiscal policy, and refrains from manipulating the domestic currency (and, instead focuses on solving the real economic fundamentals and structural problems), while at the same time minimizing its heavy intervention in the "free" market.
Even though it is easy to identify both the causes and potential solutions of the rampant inflation, I am somewhat pessimistic about the government's ability to resolve the crisis. The supply shortages are structural problems which have existed in the economy for too long and would require major policy changes which should include returning the land back to the tiller. As long as the government continues to play an increasing role in the economy, as the so-called Growth and Transformation Plan (GSP) is set out to do, it will continue to soak the economy with an excessive government expenditure and money supply. Several anecdotal evidences and several of the government's current polices strongly indicate that excessive government spending will continue unabated. Some of these increased expenditures include, in addition to what the ominous GSP would demand (which is expected to dangerously soak the economy with excess money supply/expenditures), the government has now faced with additional expenditures on security and imported goods (in which case the devaluation and the price cap measures have made it worse than would be otherwise.)
According to Prime Minister Meles Zenawi, devaluing the birr by 20% was necessitated by previous rising inflation rates that had engulfed the country, which in turn has made the real exchange rate to appreciate. Unfortunately, and if the government's objective continues to be a non-appreciating real exchange rate, both the current rising inflation rates and the previous unexpected devaluation of the birr may necessitate for another devaluation of the birr. Unfortunately, both the government's pronouncements (which at times happen to be contradictory) of impending and continuous (but not massive) devaluation of the birr and the manner in which the previous devaluation measures were taken have set in motion further declines in the value of the birr (that is, increased inflation.) As I stated it in my 2008 write-up, we ought to buckle-up for the hard ride.
The writer is a professor of economics at Murray State University and can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com
No one can comment because none of you understand inflation.
The only language ethiopians and eritreans understand is the language of war.
Shame on you for your stupid generalizations!off course to comment on inflation it requires knowledge of economics.But don't say that no one is able to comment.There are many economists(Ethiopians/Eritreans)who are able to give good analysis on inflation.
May be people like you and me are not trained to be economists.
Good article as always Prof…
Since the ethiopia economy is run by dedeb weyannes and their Hoddams maffia, who controll all the market and export everything to west and arab countries and make profites , the so called todays inflation is MAN made inflation around MERKATO where 78% of ethiopia commedities end up for domestic and international trade. It is like a foot ball field with playets but NO Ball to play with. Or shall i put it in simple term .Eating injera without wete, how it sound?
You can controll the inflation in ethiopia if the weyannes STOP exporting berbery,suger, injera, teff, all the necessery basic items. The Hoddams are now creating this inflation becouse of a big demand of the above itiems in europe, arabs and northern america. They buy everything from poor farmers with cheap price and expote it and get paied with help of a so called ethiopia commodety exchange with huge profit.
The two economical terms do not go together.
Making profit by selling everything and waching the Childerns
starv to death. One has to feed his own childerens first no matter the big profit is to come. First thing is first.
STOP exporting of all necessery items like berbery, teff injera etc. For sex monthe, tha t will chill out the gready exporters to think and ethiopa firts. Forget about a big profit. Profit comes and goes!!!
May almight GOD bless Prof Almariam, Prof Seid Hassen, Dr Negede Gobeze, Dr Birhanu Nega, Dr Wondimu Mekonnen,Neamin Zeleke, Tamagne Beyene and other dedicated activists who kept speaking onbehalf of the voiceless in Ethiopia under the brutal regimme.
on the contrary We have been wittnessing people in the name of Jesus advocating dictators whose hands are immerssed with blood of innocent citizens in Ethiopia. These people used to say God bless Ethiopia at the end of their comment as if they belong to christians domination.
Before declaring your are christian come forward and condemn Woyanee and confess your sins ever since 1991.
Sheme on you woyane propagandist to disguise your true personality in the name of christianity.
God bless Ethiopia
When the Ethiopian Commodity Exchange(ECX)was founded by Dr Eleni G/Madhin, Seid Hassan condemned that projet and wrote an article entitled "The Dangerous Hype behind the Ethiopian Commodity Exchange" in which he said:
""It is about time to recognize that millions of Ethiopians get hurt with such gimmickry and uncalled for hypes…Let it be known that the ECX is another well orchestrated gimmick, one of those government set up mega projects which are designed to control both the outputs and prices of the foreign exchange. Let it be known that , as the saying goes"all that gliters is not really gold"".
He continued writing "Let there be no more hyes, no more deceptions. Most importantly, it is time for those enablers of Meles's greedy and kleptocratic regime that the creation of hypes real consequences. As a gimmickry mega project, the ECX has been and will be used to both squander the meager resources of the country and as means of controlling the outputs of the Ethipian peasants. Let it be known that those who are a part of this process, including those at the helm of the ECX will be acccountable for what they have done to Ethiopia and its people".
Outright condemnation of this magnitude lashed on the ECX then proved how wrong Seid Hassan was. Since its commencement, the ECX has executed its duties with success and perfection despite Seids bleak and extremely pesimistic predictions.
In numerous other articles he has continued to voice his unabated condemnations on the Ethiopian governments's policies so this article is no different from what we have been reading from this individual. Along with other problems that pop up now and then in Ethiopia, the government has not sat finger crossed but is responsibly trying to solve them as they come. Grumpy individuals, whose motives we very clearly know, will continue to disapprove anything that comes out of our country regardless. The credibility of Seid Hassan that was disastrously shattered by the genius Dr Eleni G/Madhin has proved how vacous and devoid of any substantial points his arguments were and will continue to be.
Ethiopia shall prosper!!
Kena Keb (AKA) Seiko, you are in denial! Wake up before it is too late!
Learn from Fikesilase Wogderes and the others who were caught after it was too late.
Prepare for your diaspora life because your life in Ethiopia will either be lethal or a grueling vegetation in Kaliti.
It is sad that Ethiopians will have to live with this. The government does not have an incentive to reduce inflation in the country. In fact, although it may look odd to unsuspecting readers, all indications in Ethiopia at the moment are that the government benefits from inflation. Why am I saying this? Think of the things inflation does. Chief among them is to distribute income from lenders (depositors, etc) to borrowers. Interest is usually set in nominal terms, and an increasing inflation means that the real interest rate is negative, which means that resource (in real terms) is being transferred from lenders to borrowers. Now, see who are the borrowers and lenders in Ethiopia. Government itself is the main borrower (remember those crap bonds?), hence it benefits directly from inflation. Oh….what about the party companies, like Guna, EFFORT etc? They are believed to be the major borrowers in Ethiopia, perhaps next to government. And then comes those TPLF cronies, the unproductive entrepreneurs. These are also other major borrowers in Ethiopia, and the government needs to reward them too and the best way is to make the real interest rate negative.
I feel so sad for the poor Ethiopians.
The professor has the right observation. The question is whether the Birr is over valued or if it is the right thing to devaluate it in this time of hyperinflation. I believe it has been over-valued for a long time probably for more than 60-70 years. It was just valued for much ado for nothing. I would not see the Birr any worth less than 33-35 to a US Dollar. I say this not because I sympathize with this goon from Dedebit but it is something that needs to be done fiscally by even a democratic government. There are many commodities that can be manufactured both in quantities and qualities back there but they have to be offered at competitive price in the global market. Labor including skilled ones are cheap and it has many of the natural resources needed for growth. It just needs the right leadership with broad perspectives not this narrow megalomaniac narrow nationalistic agenda to wade through the current crises. The political affair is in a stalemate and inflation is blasting through the society like a run away train. And the goon from Adwa has his tongue stuck in that old time Envar Hoxha and Mao's spiritual - New Democratic Revolution. All his talk about the failure or shortcomings of 'liberal' capitalism shows that the evil spirit that possessed him and his cabals more than 35 years ago still owns him. That is why he is building an 82 million birr mansion in this time of a 35% inflation. He is telling the suffering people – 'In your face!!!'.
But it is my conviction that the Birr is way over valued. I think a lot can be formulated and presented to support me.
Meles will drive your country into the ground! Gods righteous punishment for all your sins!
@Kena Keb(AKA)Seiko
From Kena Keb(AKA)Seiko to Kena Keb(AKA)Seiko??
Have you noticed that your comment was adressed from yourself to yourself? Well done! It is you who need to wake up!
Would it be helpful for you to use another pen name to avoid confusing yourself and others? Like Seid Hassan who you have defended in your comment adressed to me, symptoms of confusion are vividly acting upon you.
Ethiopia shall prosper!!
Bless ya!!! prof!!! u rt!!.

I would like to thank all our local government entities, including the Virginia/North Carolina Water Authority, for taking time to hear discussion on the fluoridation issue.
I would like to point out that there was never any intention to cast aspersions at the honesty of any of our local officials, nor was there any question of their loyalty to their citizens and their duties of office.
We deeply appreciate the work you do and realize that in cases like this, it probably feels like a thankless job.
Mount Rogers Community Extended Care and the Industrial and Developmental Center join together in thanking Proximity Lounge for its hospitality to our group recently.
This time last year we were devastated when Parrott Bay closed and our annual Christmas dance was scheduled the very next day. But Blue Ridge Country Club came to the rescue and we were able to pull it together (with their help) and Santa came right on time!
This letter is written to all who say they do not believe in Christ and want to remove His name from the Christmas Holiday.
We Christians chose to celebrate Jesus' birthday long ago and much of the world has adopted the holiday.
I'm sure that at some point in your life, you have enjoyed some good from it. Maybe it was a Christmas bonus, ham, gift certificate or party that lifted your spirits, or maybe a day off or just a smile from someone who usually frowns at you.
I am writing in response to the Virginia-Carolina Water Authority meetings attended by a group of people opposed to water fluoridation.
The most recent meetings were Nov. 15 in Independence and with the Alleghany County Board of Commissioners in Sparta, N.C.
Several citizens with the newly formed group spoke against water fluoridation by the water authority.
Our current economic plight creates a lot of questions, mainly: "Who is to blame?"
Perhaps the answer can be found at the enduring altar of the money changers and profiteers where gold is the deity to be revered, greed is the benediction, dominance is the credo and the covetous pray for "more, bigger, better, instant gratification. Too much ain't enough and make mine be the biggest."
Prime examples of this century's old mindset are Wall Street, big business, war profiteers and big government.
If the following was told to the people of the Twin Counties: "Raise your hand if you've been diagnosed with bipolar disorder," how many people would be honest enough to raise their hand?
Who should raise their hand but have no idea or are in denial about their mental instability?
It's time for the cycle to stop.
The mental roller coaster of extreme highs and lows that are being hidden by alcohol abuse, drug abuse, domestic violence and poverty needs to come to a final end.
Like many others, I haven't been exactly front and center at the Grayson County Board of Supervisors' meetings.
When there's a big issue, we pack the board room, sign up to speak and wait hours to ask questions that they decline to answer.
They know we will melt away as the heat dies down. But at the Nov. 30 tax protest meeting, we were standing-room only at the 1908 Courthouse, and I never before saw such a big mix of people — old-timers, farmers, move-ins and move-backs, old and young, some well-to-do and others barely getting by.
Amazingly, Christmas is quickly approaching! This year the Y's Men have increased their goal for reaching out to our community with 550 food boxes.
Many individuals and families in our community are experiencing situations which make their holiday less than "merry".
I join the Y's Men in their campaign to reach their monetary goal for the Christmas boxes which mean so much too so many! Won't you join me?

University of Missouri Homecoming Blood Drive brings in 5,730 pints of blood
COLUMBIA, Mo. - The University of Missouri Homecoming Blood Drive -- one of the largest blood drives in the world -- exceeded its goal this year.
The American Red Cross announced it collected 5,730 pints this week, breaking the goal of 5,000 set by student organizers.
"The Red Cross and the hospitals we serve cannot express enough our thanks to the University and the community for their support," said Scott Caswell, CEO of the Missouri-Illinois Blood Services Region.
In the 28 years of the blood drive at MU, organizers have collected more than 100,000 pints of blood.
The Red Cross says each pint could save up to three lives, meaning more than 17,000 patients could benefit from the donations.
