The oil and gas industry is the single largest driver of the Alaskan economy, responsible for over a quarter of the state's GDP. The industry directly employs around 4,500 people, indirectly supports over 8,000 additional jobs, and spends more than $5 billion annually on supporting services in the state. In addition, taxes from the industry supply the vast majority of the state's General Fund, as well as supporting many local and tribal governments. Interest on funds from the oil and gas industry also provides for the yearly payouts to Alaskan residents from the state's Permanent Fund.
Oil activity in the state is primarily concentrated into two areas: the North Slope, home to the famous Prudhoe Bay oil field, and Cook Inlet. The Trans-Alaskan Pipeline System transports oil from the North Slope to Valdez in south-central Alaska. Most of it continues by tanker to the West Coast of the US for refining. Oil production has been declining for decades—diminishing over the last 20 years 6.0 MB on the North Slope, and over the last 40 years in Cook Inlet.
Exploring for new natural gas deposits in Cook Inlet.
Cook Inlet also produces significant quantities of natural gas, which provides around three-fifths of the energy in the state. Gas reserves and production in Cook Inlet are also declining 4.3 MB. A lot of interest has been generated recently by the idea of a natural gas pipeline from the North Slope, estimated to have reserves of 34 trillion cubic feet. This gas, which is currently either lost during oil extraction, or used for re-injection into oil wells, might either be exported from a liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal, piped to Canada, or used for energy generation in the state. There is also interest in—and significant opposition to—increased oil exploration and drilling activities in the National Petroleum Reserve, in the Artic National Wildlife Refuge, and offshore in the Chukchi Sea.
The recent Deepwater Horizon blowout, and Alaskan experiences with the Exxon Valdez disaster and the 2006 Prudhoe Bay oil spill, highlight the well-known risks associated with the extraction and transportation of oil. While Alaska depends heavily on the oil industry for jobs and tax revenue, the integrity of the environment is also essential to the Alaskan economy. Even in the absence of major accidents like offshore blowouts, pipeline leaks, or tanker spills, oil development has serious environmental impacts. The oil and gas industry is responsible for an average of 450 spills on the North Slope every year, ranging from crude oil to diesel to drilling mud. Oil and gas infrastructure and exploration disrupt animal migration patterns, human subsistence lifestyles, and the wilderness character of an area.

Premier League clubs have erred on the side of caution in this summer's transfer market, facing constant financial scrutiny from UEFA and having to tailor their squad to abide by the F.A. 25-man squad rule introduced last season to give ''homemade'' youth players a better chance of breaking into their club's first team.
Many clubs such as Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City must look to offload several fringe players before they can look to bring in players who can propel them towards a Premier League title challenge. Other clubs are just fearful of being sucked into a bidding war for their transfer targets, which would inflate prices beyond their reach.
Despite this relative austerity, a report released earlier this month by accountancy firm Deloitte highlighted combined debts of £3.5 billion, despite consistent increases in revenue over the past three decades.
Nevertheless, clubs continue to spend beyond their means and the British press has regularly linked the likes of Chelsea and Manchester City, who continue to post huge losses and whose combined wage bill exceeds £300 million per year, with big-money moves for the world's biggest football stars.
Today there is news of a new £38 million by Chelsea and an exodus of players from Manchester United in order to generate funds for Sir Alex Ferguson's big plans to evolve his title-winning squad and stay ahead of the competition.

O'Toole Calls for Hearing on NJ Water Quality Following Release of National Report
Following a report from a national environmental organization that drinking water in as many as 138 New Jersey municipalities may contain unsafe levels of the chemical compound chromium-6, Senator Kevin O'Toole (R-Essex, Bergen, Morris Passaic) is asking Senate Environment and Energy Committee Chair Robert Smith to schedule public hearings on water safety.
"Reports on water safety, such as the one that is making headlines today, have the potential to cause widespread panic and confusion among our residents. It is yet to be determined at what level hexavalent chromium in our drinking water poses a significant health risk to our population, but I certainly don't want to sit on the sidelines and wait until that is determined," Sen. O'Toole said. "That is why I have requested Chairman Smith to convene a special hearing with all stakeholders and experts on this matter."
In Wake of NJ & NYC Bombings, Singer Bill Would Require Law Enforcement to Develop Security Plans for Large Crowd Events
In the wake of terror attacks in Elizabeth and Seaside Park, Senator Robert Singer (R-Monmouth, Ocean) will introduce legislation requiring local law enforcement to work with state agencies to develop security plans to preserve public safety during events that attract large crowds.
"In 2003, my daughter Sarri was injured and 16 were killed when a terrorist with a bomb attacked the bus she was riding in Jerusalem, so I understand the lasting impact terrorism can have on innocent people and their families," Senator Singer said. "Last weekend's bombing in Seaside Park was a stark reminder that unless we enact proper security protocols here in New Jersey, we may be putting lives at risk. This bill will ensure that procedures are in place to keep residents and spectators safe at large events."
Holzapfel, Wolfe & McGuckin Praise Settlement Slashing Proposed NJNG Rate Increase
Proposed 24% Gas Rate Increase Would Be Reduced to 7.4%
Senator Jim Holzapfel and Assemblymen Dave Wolfe and Greg McGuckin (all R-10) praised news of a settlement that is set to be approved by the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (BPU) slashing a 24 percent natural gas rate increase that had been proposed by New Jersey Natural Gas (NJNG) to fund infrastructure improvements.
Under the terms of the settlement, the increase that will be voted on by the BPU on Friday would amount to an extra $7 on the average customer's gas bill, representing a 7.4 percent increase.
"We fought against the massive 24 percent rate hike NJNG had proposed, and we succeeded in reducing the increase to a reasonable amount that will be more affordable to residents," said Holzapfel. "While nobody likes their bills going up, an extra $7 a month is much more palatable than the $22 monthly increase NJNG had initially proposed."
Doherty on Completion & Dedication of New Phillipsburg High School
Senator Mike Doherty (R-23) issued the following statement on the official dedication and ribbon-cutting of the new Phillipsburg High School:
"I've long highlighted how New Jersey's rural and suburban districts are overlooked when it comes to state support for our schools, but 15 years of persistence by local officials to push this project forward has finally paid off," said Doherty. "Congratulations to the Phillipsburg Board of Education, Superintendent George Chando, and all of the many local officials and families that fought to make the new Phillipsburg High School a reality."
Kean Urges Preservation of Camden Home Where Martin Luther King Jr. Lived
Following reports that a Camden residence once home to Martin Luther King Jr. is at risk of demolition, Senate Republican Leader Tom Kean has joined the effort to preserve this important piece of our state and nation's history.
Kean will introduce a legislative resolution urging the property located at 753 Walnut Street to be added to the New Jersey Register of Historic Places.
"Martin Luther King Jr. helped lead the civil rights movement, demonstrating how non-violent resistance could be used to challenge racial inequality," said Kean. "It's been suggested that Dr. King's experiences while living in Camden led to his later involvement in the fight to end racial discrimination, segregation and poverty."
Beck & Monmouth County Officials Oppose Civilian Housing at Naval Weapons Station Earle
Senator Jennifer Beck, along with representatives from Congressman Christopher Smith's office, Freeholder Lillian Burry, Colts Neck Committeeman Michael Fitzgerald and Tinton Falls Board of Education President Peter Karavites met with Captain Jay Steingold of Naval Weapons Station Earle to be briefed on the Department of Defense's proposal to allow civilians to utilize housing located on Naval Weapons Station Earle.
All officials in attendance voiced their strong opposition to Captain Steingold and Department of Defense officials to the plan and have received commitment from the Navy chain-of-command for a subsequent, follow-up meeting on the proposal.
"I am opposed, in the strongest possible terms, to the Navy's plan allowing civilians to utilize Naval Weapons Earle housing. The current proposal involving members of the general public to be granted access to an active military weapons installation is a dangerous one, and I will fight tirelessly against it. The events of this past weekend only heighten the need for increased security at our military sites and I don't believe that allowing non-military personnel on the base is a workable policy to ensure our area's safety" said Senator Beck.
Kean on Capture of NJ & NYC Bombing Suspect
Senate Republican Leader Tom Kean congratulated law enforcement on the quick capture of the suspect in the weekend bombings in New Jersey and New York City, and recognized the citizens who alerted authorities of suspicious devices that proved to be unexploded bombs.
"The speed with which many law enforcement agencies coordinated to identify and capture the suspect behind this weekend's bombings is impressive and a testament to their professionalism and improved ability to work together," said Kean. "We owe a debt of gratitude to the New Jersey State Police, NYPD, FBI and local law enforcement around Elizabeth, Linden and Seaside Park. I also want to wish the victims of the bombings and the two police officers injured in the suspect's capture a full and speedy recovery."
Allen Launches Pet Food Drive for Burlington County Animal Shelter
Collecting Donations of Food & Needed Items at Her District Office
Senator Diane Allen (R-Burlington) has announced a "Pet Food Drive" at her district office in Cinnaminson to collect donations of food and other items needed by the Burlington County Animal Shelter.
"As an animal lover and supporter of the Burlington County Animal Shelter, I know how difficult it can be to feed and care for the many animals that are in the facility waiting for their forever homes," said Allen. "I'm glad to offer my office as a collection point for the many dog and cat lovers in the area who want to donate to support the shelter."
Beck to Serve as Grand Marshal at Open Space Pace Parade of Horses
On Saturday, Senator Jennifer Beck (R-Monmouth) will serve as the Grand Marshal for the parade of horses at the Open Space Pace and Festival of Horses, an all-day event to promote and preserve New Jersey's open space and horse racing industry in Freehold.
"It's truly an honor to serve as Grand Marshal for this year's parade of horses," Senator Beck said. "For five years, this event has been an outstanding celebration of New Jersey's proud horse racing tradition and shined a light on the importance of preserving our open space."
9th District Delegation Works to Designate U.S. Constitution Week in N.J.
The General Assembly passed legislation sponsored and supported by the 9th District legislative delegation that would designate the week of September 17 through September 23 of each year as "Constitution Week" to remember and honor the signing of the Constitution of the United States of America on September 17, 1787. This would correlate with the national week as established by Congress in 1956.
The joint resolution (AJR-72) is supported by Senator Christopher J. Connors, Assemblyman Brian E. Rumpf and Assemblywoman DiAnne C. Gove is also part of an effort to raise public awareness of the important role the Constitution plays in the lives of American citizens.

Most bumps on the eyelid are styes. A stye is an inflamed oil gland on the edge of your eyelid, where the lash meets the lid. It appears as a red, swollen bump that looks like a pimple. It is tender, especially to the touch.
Alternative Names
Bump on the eyelid; Stye; Hordeolum
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
A stye is caused by bacteria from the skin that get into the oil glands in the eyelids that provide lubrication to the tear film. Styes are similar to common acne pimples that occur elsewhere on the skin. You may have more than one stye at the same time.
Styes usually develop over a few days and may drain and heal on their own. A stye can become a

Other possible eyelid bumps include:
Xanthelasma-- raised yellow patches on your eyelids that can happen with age. These are harmless, although they are occasionally a sign of high cholesterol.
- Papillomas -- pink or skin-colored bumps. They are harmless, but can slowly grow, affect your vision, or bother you for cosmetic reasons. If so, they can be surgically removed.
- Cysts -- small fluid-filled sacs that can affect your vision.

Joseph Palermo: The amazing thing about Mr. Smith's decision to break the code of omertà at Goldman was the fact that an employee existed there at all who was still capable of making a moral or ethical judgment and could even express something resembling remorse.
Ronald Reagan Revisionists
H. Scott Prosterman: Perhaps the greatest myth, and one of the greatest spin jobs in history, is the notion that Reagan's foreign policy brought the collapse of the Soviet Union . Communism was a flawed political-economic theory whose weaknesses caused it to collapse upon itself.
Russian Arms Control Proposals Worth Considering
Ivan Eland: Missile defense is an expensive relic of the Cold War, which the U.S. can no longer afford given its huge budget deficits and high debt levels. Keeping the program alive are Republicans who want to preserve this white elephant to realize the grandiose "Star Wars" dream of their hero, Ronald Reagan.

Some thoughts and observations following the Stars 4-3 overtime loss to the San Jose Sharks at American Airlines Center Thursday night.
Points are important and the Stars got one out of this one. Considering they were shorthanded the final 49 seconds of regulation, it was probably a good point when you look at it as a whole. Regulation losses are the real killers and the Stars' penalty kill got the Stars to OT and secured at least the one point.
Stars coach Marc Crawford:" You never like to give one away, but it definitely is a point that will help us.You look around the league, it seems like the first thing we do is see what the other scores are. A lot of teams in our conference lost tonight, so we pick up a pretty important point on them."
Phoenix, Anaheim and Los Angeles all lost in regulation Thursday night, so it was a valuable point. The Stars have points in 10 of their last 12 games (8-2-2).
The Stars and Sharks have played three games this season and all of them have gone beyond regulation. The Stars are 2-0-1 in the three games for a total of 5 points and the Sharks are 1-0-2 for a total of 4 points.
The Sharks outshot the Stars 43-18 in the game, including a 26-14 shots advantage in five-on-five play. San Jose had 17 shots on the power play. The Stars had two on the power and scored on both of them. Dallas had two shorthanded shots as well.
The special teams were very good on this night. If you had told me that the Stars' power play would go 2-2 and their PK would be 6-7 and kill off a 1:39 five-on-three, I would have put a few bucks on them winning the game. But it didn't go that way on this night. The Stars lost the five-on-five game, getting outscored 3-1. And San Jose's one power play goal came at the right time – overtime.
Kari Lehtonen had a pretty good game. He was great early, especially on that San Jose five-on-three in the first period and he was outstanding in the third period. I think he might like to have a couple goals back, but it was a pretty good performance and he seemed to settle in and shake off the rust as the game moved along. He made 39 saves and helped the Stars get a point in this game.
Brenden Morrow had a big game, picking up a goal and registering a game-high 11 hits on the night. Not bad for a guy who had his nose broken by a puck Monday in San Jose, finished out that game and had surgery on it Wednesday. "He just continues to impress with his character and his leadership," said Stars coach Marc Crawford. "That's leadership in a nutshell right there."
Give the Sharks some credit for a good effort. They suffered a disappointing loss in Nashville Wednesday, giving up two late goals in a 3-2 loss, and bounced back with a pretty good effort against the Stars. Getting Kent Huskins back on the blue line helped and having Devin Setoguchi back in their lineup is a big plus as well.

Photos: Gabe Rosado Drills Bryan Vera on BKB PPV
Mandalay Bay, Las Vegas, NV - In the BKB main event, Gabriel Rosado defeated Bryan Vera by 5th round knockout to win the middleweight BKB championship. Vera dropped Rosado with a flash knockdown in the third when Rosado appeared to trip on the lip where the pit and the ramp meet. Seconds later Rosado returned the favor and floored Vera who was able to rise to his feet.
Rosado kept the momentum with a huge 4th round as he landed several hard punches and began to showboat by throwing several bolo punches. Rosado caught Vera at the end of the 5th round to floor the Texan for a second and final time. Vera rose to his feet but was still staggered, prompting Kenny Bayless to halt the fight.

Hi ladies,
I'm a FTM, and I was wondering how you all handled the possibility of your water breaking while asleep/in bed. My husband and I recently changed the mattresses in our home, and a friend of mine scared me and asked what I would do if I woke up in a pool of liquid in the middle of the night (effectively ruining our new mattress).
How did you guys handle this? I know this may be a silly thing to worry about, but I really don't want to throw out my new mattress! (I'm a total germ-o-phob, so just spot cleaning it afterwards is not an option).
Thanks for any advice!!

A Marie Curie Fellow, Dr Debbie Rand came up with an original way for reeducating patients following a stroke. She found out that patients were much more likely to make significant progress during their reeducation if they played video games than traditional reeducation.
According to Dr Rand this is due to the fact that video games require players to move continuously to interact with the virtual game. In her study, not only did the players perform double the number of arm movements during each session compared to patients in traditional therapy, but all of their movements were purposeful or "goal-directed" and not just repetitive exercises. As patients enjoy the video games they are also more likely to continue the treatment over the long term. This alternative to traditional reeducation therapy offers a double advantage: it is cost-effective and fun!
Dr Debbie benefited from a Reintegration grant at Tel Aviv University's Stanley Steyer School of Health Professions at the Sackler Faculty of Medicine.

Armando Lambruschini
|Armando Lambruschini
|June 15, 1924
|August 15, 2004(aged 80)
|Argentine Navy
Armando Lambruschini (June 15, 1924 – August 15, 2004) was an admiral in the Argentine Navy.
Life and career[edit]
He enrolled at the Argentine Naval School in 1942, and graduated as a midshipman in 1946. He was later named Captain of the Navy, and served in that capacity aboard the cruiser ARA General Belgrano.[1]
Lambruschini was promoted to Head of the Navy Chiefs of Staff in 1975, and such obtained a rank second only to Admiral Emilio Massera in that branch; both men had graduated from the Naval School the same year. His prominent role in the National Reorganization Process that took power in the March 1976 coup allowed him to oversee an ambitious modernization plan for the Navy.[1] His 15-year-old daughter Paula was killed in August 1978, when a bomb was planted in Lambruschini's Buenos Aires home by Montoneros guerrillas. Two neighbors also died as a result of the explosion.[2]
Ongoing friction between the President Jorge Videla and Admiral Massera prompted the latter's September 15, 1978, replacement for Lambruschini, and he served in that capacity until September 11, 1981.[1]
His role in the Dirty War perpetrated during the dictatorship led to charges of numerous crimes, including murder, illegal arrests, torture, theft, and forgery.[3] Indicted during the historic Trial of the Juntas of 1985, Lambruschini was found guilty and sentenced to 8 years imprisonment on December 9.[4]
He was, however, among those pardoned in 1990 by President Carlos Menem, and he was freed from prison and had his rank of Admiral reinstated. He later faced civil lawsuits, and in November 1994 was ordered to pay (with Massera), $1 million to a victim whose family had been abducted and murdered in 1976.[5]
Italian courts tried him for crimes in absentia in 1997, and he was accused of further cases of human rights violations in 2003. His advanced age (close to 80 years old) afforded him the benefit of house arrest, however. Armando Lambruschini died on August 15, 2004.[4]

The Not-So-Perfect Manby Valerie Frankel

As far as her family and friends are concerned, Frieda has been the grieving widow for long enough. At 35, she's still (relatively) young, still (adequately) attractive. Her sex drive is very much alive; even Frieda admits she'd like to put it to use again. Besides, she has a son who certainly needs a father figure. With visions of the perfect second husband in mind, Frieda's sisters start to send eligible males in her direction.
Big sister Ilene -- herself substantially married -- has found the ultimate unattached catch: a gorgeous, independently wealthy, successful, divorced father, pillar of society and paragon of potential. What more could a single mom ask for? Apparently a lot more than loved ones realize. Frieda's own efforts bear very tasty fruit. Sam is young, talented, devoted, and incredibly sexy -- though broke, only sporadically employed, and clueless about kids. But he makes Frieda feel brand-spanking-new, in a most wonderfully wanton way. When all is said and done, does Frieda really need the "perfect man" ... or the far-from-ideal man who's perfect for her?

Read an Excerpt
The Not-So-Perfect Man
Chapter One
Thursday, September 5
"I've got the perfect man for you."
"Not another one," said Frieda Schast. "Is that why you came to Brooklyn? To give me the hard sell?"
Ilene, Frieda's older sister by three years, said, "You know I love coming out here. It's practically a trip to the country. I needed the fresh air."
"I'm not a cause," said Frieda.
"You are."
"Just ... 'cause."
Ilene didn't have to explain further. It'd been a year and a month since Frieda's husband died. The day after the deathiversary, Ilene began fixing up Frieda with suitors she'd located, apparently under a rock somewhere.
Ilene said, "He's an entomologist."
"So you did find him under a rock," said Frieda.
The two women sat behind the counter at Frieda's frame store on Montague Street in Brooklyn Heights. Ilene had taken the afternoon off work in Manhattan to make the visit. Despite her annoyance with the topic of conversation, Frieda was grateful for the company.
Frieda asked, "Does he twitch?"
Ilene said, "Not that I know of."
"The last one twitched."
"A tic is not a twitch," said Ilene.
"A tic is when someone tugs his ear if he's nervous, or twirls his hair. I'd even allow a tic to mean incessant blinking or handwringing. But the last one had full-body convulsions every two minutes. I thought I'd have to rush him to the hospital. Or that the force of his seizures would make his head fly off."
"Just as long as you're not exaggerating," said Ilene.
On the counter in front of her, Frieda held a small triptych of a girl on a swing. The photographer had taken the pictures of his daughter, and had carefully selected a three-quarter-inch cherry-wood frame. The girl's dress was red and pretty, and Frieda imagined herself on that swing. She could only guess which sensation was more thrilling for the girl, zooming backward, her hair floating around her head, covering it protectively, or zipping forward, hair blown back, exposing her to the world of the playground.
Frieda reflexively tucked some of her own brown curls behind one ear, leaving the bulk of it to hang down against her cheeks. She knew she'd have to move forward, that it was impossible to backswing indefinitely. Frieda asked, "Have you met this guy? How many degrees of separation are we talking here?"
Ilene said, "He's the brother of Peter's secretary's best friend."
Frieda calculated this information. "That's four degrees."
"Best friend, secretary, Peter, you."
"I'm not counting myself."
"Why not?" asked Frieda.
"We're related," she said. "We shouldn't count Peter, either. You've known him for ten years. He's like a brother to you."
"I'm sure Peter had nothing to do with this," said Frieda of Ilene's husband.
"Peter likes my fixing you up," said Ilene. "He thinks it will distract me from the size of his stomach. But let's not even mention it. Peter's belly is too big a topic to get distracted by."
"It is an immense topic," agreed Frieda.
"It's more than a topic," said Ilene. "It's practically a tropic. Like the tropic of Capricorn. The one that spans the globe?"
"I've read the book," said Frieda.
Ilene said, "His name is Roger. He's a resident professor at the Museum of Natural History. The marriage potential is sky high. He could be The One."
Frieda had already had The One. So Roger Bugman would never be that. At best, he could be The Two. Hard to get worked up about The Two. Nobody ever says, "He's The Two, I just know it!"
Frieda said, "It would be helpful, when we have these conversations, if you could shift the pitch from, 'He's The One' to something like, 'You might have a pleasant dinner with him.' Or, 'He's good practice.' Or, 'He's easy on the eyes.' Or just, 'He's easy.'"
Despite her loss of a husband (which sounded like she'd misplaced him somewhere), Frieda hadn't lost her sex drive. It was just buried in her mental closet. She knew that, at thirty-five, it was unlikely she'd never have sex again. But the idea of getting naked with a complete stranger, having been with the same man for nine years, was intimidating. When she'd met Gregg, she was a dewy twenty-six-year-old. She hadn't any wrinkles then. Nor had her belly been thickened by a pregnancy.
Ilene said, "I can show you his picture."
Frieda felt a sudden flutter of nerves at the threat of coming face-to-photo. "You brought his picture?" she asked. "You're sick, Ilene. There should be a special hospital for people like you."
"His photo and bio are on the museum website," said Ilene. "He's very handsome. And he's the nation's foremost expert on dung beetles."
"No shit," said Frieda.
"Take a look," said Ilene.
"I'm very busy," said Frieda.
"I can see that," said Ilene, pointedly glancing around the store. Not a single customer was among the bins and boxes. Business was slow, but not dangerously so. At the Sol Gallery, Frieda sold original photographs and did custom framing. Photographs were mounted on cardboard, wrapped in plastic, and put in bins for customers to flip through. Frieda priced the photos according to size and subject matter ranging from $5 to $500. Her standard arrangement: The photographer would get 40 percent of the purchase price and she'd keep 60 percent. Retail photography accounted for about 20 percent of her overall business.
Rows and rows of L-shaped frame samples covered the walls by the back counters. They were grouped by medium (wood, metal, etc.), color and size (five-inch gilded ornate maple to quarter-inch fiberglass).The Not-So-Perfect Man. Copyright © by Valerie Frankel.

Cute Book...soo funny...the story is fun!! Valerie Frankel is one of my favorite writers of all times. Her books are gripping from the first page and laugh-out-loud hilarious. Every story has great characters, heartwarming plots, and hilarious dialoge. You'll fall in love with all the characters from the beginning and want to read every book she has ever written. You won't regret this buy!!!
I loved this book!!!! It was good read. I read it in like 3 0r 4 days. Very cute. I wish it would have ended a little differently, but i still recommend this book.
This book is so far superior to 99 percent of the chick-lit out there. The humor and emotion are deep, the characters are real. A must-read
Impressively written and well-crafted story of three sister's intersecting love lives in New York City. It's just packed, too: two makeover stories, three breakups, two reunions, one death, one marriage, one revenge plot, oodles of sexy passages, a touching and funny ending that will leave any reader with a satisfied smile. I cried at the end, but I cry at sappy telephone company ads. Would be a great TV mini-series
Only thirty-five, Widow Frieda Schast, owner of a picture frame store, still feels the loss of her husband Gregg, who died from cancer thirteen months ago. From the deathiversary day that Gregg was interred, Frieda¿s older sister Ilene has felt it is her quest in life to travel from Manhattan to the Brooklyn frontier to find her sibling a husband whether Frieda is interested or not. Her latest find entomologist Professor Roger O¿Leary can only be the ¿Two¿ since Gregg will always be the ¿One¿. Ilene¿s husband Peter Vermillion wants her to stop matchmaking her younger sister. Ilene counters with wanting the overweight Peter to watch what he eats especially that extra cannoli. As she does with Peter, Ilene nags until Frieda is on a date with Roger the Bugman, but Frieda does n.ot even make much of an effort................................... While Frieda¿s other sister spinster Betty may have finally found a man who turns up the juices of her body, actor Sam Hill enters the widow¿s shop to have a review article of a play he performs in framed. Frieda finds the youngster (not even thirty) quite exciting as he offers a sexual healing with no commitment strings................................... THE NOT SO PERFECT MAN is an interesting character study that looks deep into the varying woes of three New York City siblings, the men in their lives, and another couple. The myriad of subplots offer insight into eight living people and the late Gregg is well written, but contains too much baggage to keep track of who suffers from what. Still Valerie Frankel provides a fine relationship tale that showcases love hurts, but anything less is loneliness.............................. Harriet Klausner

We have been hearing about the NFL Now channel for Apple TV since the beginning of this month and two weeks back, the NFL Now app appeared on iOS devices. "A companion channel on the Apple TV [was] expected to launch later [that] day" and we have been waiting since. Though a bit late, the NFL Channel is finally out on Apple TV.
Apple TV is getting overwhelmed with new channels. It's hardly been a week since the FX Now and CNBC apps made it into Apple TV, when new rumors have emerged on the imminent launch of the NFL Now channel. The above picture was taken by an NFL employee and shows the channel in testing on an Apple TV.
As I said in an earlier article, Rolocule is the dev team whose iOS games appeal more to Apple TV users than it does to iPhoners. Unlike other dual screen games which just provide alternate HD visuals on mirroring, Rolocule motion games are AirPlay exclusive. These games turn your iPhone into a Wii-like motion controller and are playable only over Apple TV.
Motion Tennis was their first game which was widely popular thanks to its unique and never-before style of gameplay. You can read our full review here. Motion Tennis for Apple TV is currently available for free in the AppStore to celebrate the release of their new game, Dance Party of Apple TV, which we will be discussing in detail today. [click to continue…]
Well your Apple TV home-screen just got a bit more congested today, as two more channels made it to the show. Though a bit late, FOX Now and CNBC are now showing on Apple TV. [click to continue…]
There is probably only one developer team, whose iOS games appeal more to Apple TV users than it does to iPhone users. Yes, we are talking about Rolocule games. After the completely unique and hugely popular Motion Tennis for Apple TV game, the team is now rolling out their next title, Dance Party for Apple TV. [click to continue…]
With millions of The Simpsons fans spread across the country, the FX Networks will never have to worry about subscribers. And that is exactly why they announced their video-on-demand service FXNow, at the beginning of this year. The FXNow app is already available on the iPhone and iPad but the latest reports seems promising for Apple TV users too. [click to continue…]

Jordan escaped slavery once. Must he escape again?
Ashadowy figure lurks on the dark riverfront near the Christina. Libby is sure that it must be the cruel slave trader Riggs, who has vowed that no slave of his will ever escape alive. Does Riggs suspect that the runaway Jordan is hiding on her pas steamboat? Track Libby, Caleb, and Jordan in the second book of the Freedom Seekers series as they race to keep Jordon free from the clutches of slavery.
Libby and Caleb scan the crowds of passengers bound for the Minnesota Territory. Has Riggs slipped by and boarded the Christina unnoticed?
From the golden age of steamboats, the rush of immigrants to new lands, and the dangers of the Underground Railroad come true-to-life stories of courage, integrity, and suspense in the Freedom Seekers series.

RagdogsAge: Under 18Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5Excellent Values!November 26, 2013RagdogsAge: Under 18Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5This review was written for Race for Freedom.The Synopsis:
"A shadowy figure lurks on the dark riverfront near the Christina. Libby is sure that it must be the cruel slave driver Riggs, who has vowed that no slave of his will ever escape alive. Does Riggs suspect that the runaway Jordan is hiding on her pa's steamboat?
Track Libby, Caleb, and Jordan in the second book of the Freedom Seekers series as they race to keep Jordan free from the clutches of slavery."
My Review:
I have always liked books about the Underground Railroad, and this book was an excellent story. Race for Freedom is book 2 in the Freedom Seekers series and I would suggest reading them in order, I say this because this is the first book I have read in the series and I seriously wish I would have read book 1!
However, just looking at the storyline, Race for Freedom has very good, realistic characters. The story was full of Christian morals and a little girl even comes to know the Lord as her personal Lord and Savior. There is some tense action, but nothing real graphic or bloody.
There are lessons throughout the book as well. Like not jumping to conclusions before you are sure of the facts. And not to just trust everyone you see because they look friendly.
I think Freedom Seekers would make a pretty good read-aloud series for the whole family. And again, I recommend reading them in order! I look forward to getting the rest of the series and finding out what happens next with Libby, Caleb, and Jordan.
"I received this book from Moody Publishers for the purpose of this review. All comments and opinions are my own."

Iowa Food Stamp Leavers Survey: Final Report
Stay Connected
Electronic Publications from the Food Assistance & Nutrition Research Program No. (EFAN-02014-1) 50 pp, July 2002
Enrollment in Iowa's Food Stamp Program (FSP) sharply decreased in the last years of the 1990s, following significant changes in social assistance programs in the State, passage of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996, and a period of good economic conditions. Data collected in a 1999 survey provide information about the well-being of families that had participated in Iowa's FSP in 1997, the time immediately following introduction of the new regulations. Nearly 58 percent of those participating in the FSP in 1997 were not participating in the program when interviewed in 1999. Those who left the FSP in 1997 (including working age adults without dependents or a disability) had better economic and employment outcomes than others. Adults without dependents or a disability who remained in the FSP in 1997 had the greatest hardships: They were most likely to have very low income, had less contribution from earned income, and were more likely to experience food insecurity and hunger in the last year. Over half of all of the households in the survey had used private food assistance in the past year.

Clear Lake Cottages & Marina
We stayed in one of the studio cottages, super sweet, nice atmosphere. Love the adriondac chairs on the porch! A huge plus was the full size coffee pot along with a nice size (quiet)refrigerator.Definitely would stay there again (rent their kayaks) and would recommend to friends.
Clear Lake Cottages & Marina
Nice remodel and pleasant room. My only complaint, and a big one, is that the bedding did not fit the bed. Bottom sheet didn't cover the mattress and the mattress pad was so loose that it bunched up under the sheet. Could be so easy to fix with fitted sheet and pad! Otherwise a nice place to stay.
Clear Lake Cottages & Marina
A great vacation spot
This was a home away from home. Our cottage had two rooms and a large bath. Everything was immaculate. The main room had a queen bed,TV, air cond, and kitchenette with full refridge, small stove, microwave, sink, counter, and all necessary dishes, glassware, silverware, pots, pans, etc. The other room had a queen bed and air cond. They have a policy of room service every second day so I can't comment on service except that the condition of the room hints at excellent service. Of the eighteen cottages, apparently there is only one other like this one. Others vary in size and other ammenities. The property also boasts picnic and BBQ areas and a marina with boat ramp, docks and a large parking area for trailers. If I was a boater I would love to spend a week or more in this cottage.

Nice Place
The rooms are rather plain but clean. The lake had a bad smell.
Clear Lake Cottages & Marina
nice place
the rooms were nice and simple. the staff were very nice and would help with whatever you needed. however because of the heat the algae bloom was in full swing and the beach and water was covered with mats of algae and the smell was pretty strong depending on the breeze. check the lake news for info about the conditions the algae bloom lasts about 6 -8 weeks. so just plan around that.

Lelisa Desisa and Caroline Rotich Win 2015 Boston Marathon [VIDEO, PHOTOS]
This year's edition of the world's oldest annual marathon featured 30,000 runners and a ton of "Boston Strong" banners and T-shirts.
This year's edition of the world's oldest annual marathon featured 30,000 runners and a ton of "Boston Strong" banners and T-shirts.
Boston Marathon runner Greg Picklesimer ended his race with a memory to last a life time. After crossing the finish line, he dropped to one knee and proposed.
After 31 years, America has another Boston Marathon winner. His name is Meb Keflezighi and he finished with the remarkable time of 2 hours, 8 minutes, and 37 seconds. That's 26.4 miles in the time it takes some people to do the Boilermaker!
Thousands are preparing to run the Boston Marathon today, a year after the bombings that killed three people and injured many more. We wish everyone the best, whether they are running, walking, cheering or providing security in Boston.
Today marks the one year anniversary of the bombing at The Boston Marathon. There are many ways to remember and pay tribute to those who lost their life and had their lives changed forever on that terrifying day. Do you want to participate in honoring those victims from Boston locally?
On April 15, 2013, two bombs exploded near the finish line of the Boston Marathon, killing three people and injuring more than 260. On Tuesday, the city of Boston commemorated the event with a brief ceremony on Boylston Street.
April 15, 2014 marks the one year anniversary of the Boston Marathon bombings that killed three people and injured more than 100. ESPN commemorated the tragedy with Aerosmith, who recorded a new version of 'Dream On.' 'E:60 Presents Dream On: Stories from Boston's Strongest,' featured Aerosmith with the Southern California Children's Chorus.
When Boston Red Sox closer Koji Uehara blew a third strike past St. Louis Cardinal Matt Carpenter the lid came off at Fenway Park and across the city of Boston. The Red Sox World Series win was both historic and incredibly emotional.
The horror of the Boston Marathon bombings are back in clear detail in a new video that features the city's EMS.
Less than three months since this photo was taken in the aftermath of the Boston Marathon bombings, the man being carried in the photograph is walking again, despite losing both of his legs.
Jeff Bauman lost both of his legs as a result of the Boston Marathon bombing and last night he and the man who helped rescue him, Carlos Arrendondo, were honored by the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park. Both men simultaneously threw out a traditional first pitch before the Sox game with Philadelphia. Check out the video of this incredible young man.
Boston continues to remember those affected by the Boston Marathon bombings. Jeff Bauman survived the attack but lost both his legs in the blast. He was the honorary flag banner captain at the Boston Bruins game. Bauman may lost both his legs, but he didn't lose his spirit. Watch him lead the crowd, by waving the flag as the audience passed around a giant Bruins flag of their own.

Personal Security
With a little kidnap security you can prevent yourself from becoming a hostage. Being taken hostage is a major fear for some people. For those that travel a lot, developing some sort of kidnap security can be one that makes some sense, especially as tourists are seen as someone either with money or attached to money, making even the poorest tourist a potential hostage for those looking for easy hostages. There are some steps ones can take in order to avoid becoming a hostage, and it is usually just a matter of avoiding risky areas and keeping to areas that are already established as tourist safe However, there are some basic tips anyone can follow to lower the odds of being kidnapped.
Read more about kidnap security
Situational awareness is probably one of the biggest senses that a tourist needs to develop as part of kidnap security. At the lowest level this means that it pays to know the flow of the crowd, making it easier to determine if someone is following you. If someone is following you, basic evasion is an option that should be taken. This is also means that you can determine when there are a number of people around you, or any other situation that may lead to your capture, be it in a street crowd or inside of a business.
This situational awareness should keep an eye out for subtle as well as obvious hints as to what is going on. You should mentally keep track of any weapons in the area and who has them. You should also track volume levels when things around you get quiet it may be the silence preceding an attack of some sort. Try to look for people that are hiding in the crowd but trying to stay hidden it can be as obvious as people that are dressed differently to something as subtle as a few people wearing something newer or of a different brand as the others.
You should also avoid taking food or drink from anyone you do not know. Unless you have seen the food prepared or that others are eating those same foods, you should avoid proferred foods. It s not uncommon for kidnappers to drug their targets, and food and drink are the easiest way to do so not only does food and drink usually fly below the radar but they are also an easy way to get the drugs into the body of the intended target. As such, it pays to keep an eye on the origins of anything that goes into your body.
A little paranoia is a good thing, and some preparation is better than too much. Carrying a loud whistle is always a good thing kidnappers hate anything that draws attention to them. Non-lethal weapons can also be good, but keep in mind that they need to not only be readily available, but some training in their use will prevent it from being used against you. Some self-defence training is always a good thing, and always be ready to run. Keep an eye out for police you can run to in case of emergency, or even places that you can hang out in if you need to let someone pass you by. With a little kidnap security you can prevent yourself from becoming a hostage.

Derby News
By the Skaters, for the Skaters
By Casey Purcella
Duke City Derby's skaters are at practice at the Heights Community Center a little early today. A photographer from ABQ Sports magazine is on hand to take photos, and even though he's the one with the camera, it's the roller girls who direct the shoot. "We're all going to shake our faces," a beskated player in the front row tells the photographer. "You'll have about a two-second window to take the picture." Without further instruction, each skater madly shakes her head, and the photographer snaps away.

Whiplashes Roll in From Taos
By Casey Purcella
Duke City Derby will open the 2010 season in yet another venue. The league has scheduled six matches in the Albuquerque Convention Center, starting with the season-opener on Saturday, May 15. Location isn't the only major change this season—in a bid to make matches more competitive, players on the league's three Albuquerque-based teams (Derby Intelligence Agency, DoomsDames and Ho-Bots) have been shuffled. Plus, a new team, hailing from Taos, will jump into the fray.

Hail, Velocipede!
Eight Tacks for Trailside Tact
By Betty Sprocket
O, fair Albuquerque! While you were nestled all snug in your bed this winter, your Auntie Betty was out patrolling the trails on bikeback, coming home with perpetually chapped cheeks from the cold. Spring has since sprung, summer is nigh on high, and our city's Bosque and bikeways are teeming with life. It's a rich taxonomy: Cyclists can spy roadrunners and rattlesnakes and rollerblading trophy wives. Almost everyone is welcome in the benevolent eyes of Betty Sprocket, but there is one species that must be stamped out. A type of rider more pernicious than the salt cedar, more insidious than the Russian thistle. The most despicable cyclist of all: the bike punk.

Odds & Ends
By Devin D. O'Leary
Dateline: Oregon—The owner of a waste removal service settled a feud with a deadbeat customer by simply returning all the dog poop she had removed from the customer's property—with interest. According to a report on KTVZ, Melinda Hofmann, owner of The Bomb Squad dog waste pick-up service in Bend, tried to collect a long overdue $150 payment from Deborah Dillow last Monday night. When Dillow didn't answer the door, Hofmann got an idea. "I started to go back and write another note," Hoffman told reporters on Wednesday. "But I just decided to give her poop back." Hofmann backed up her work vehicle and dumped the day's haul—30 gallons of feces—onto Dillow's front yard. Hofmann said it wasn't the most adult of decisions, but admitted, "As I was flinging the poo all over her yard, it felt really good, and I just kept doing it." In fact, Hofmann didn't stop "flinging the poo" until police arrived. "Very messy," police Sgt. Dan Ritchie said. "I would imagine it probably took the homeowners quite some time to clean that mess up." Hofmann was taken away in handcuffs and charged with criminal trespassing, criminal mischief and offensive littering. Dillow said she always intended to pay Hofmann, but is battling cancer and recently had to spend $700 on medication. Despite the outcome, Hofmann seemed unrepentant about her chosen course of action, telling KTVZ, "Do I have regrets for dumping poop back in her yard cause she's a slacker client? Nope."

Ehrhoff Out; Enroth to Start
The Buffalo Sabres had a game-day skate this morning, and plenty of news was to be had.
First off, head coach Lindy Ruff ruled out defenseman Christian Ehrhoff for tonight's game.
Ehrhoff suffered an undisclosed injury last Sunday versus Florida.
This news further solidifies why the Sabres called up defenseman Adam Pardy last night, who is obviously set to make his Sabres debut tonight.
Obviously without Ehrhoff and with Pardy, the defensive pairings will be different. Although these are not confirmed, John Vogl gives us a good idea of what we might be seeing this evening.
Sabres' latest drill has defense pairings of Pardy-Myers, Leopold-Weber and Brennan-Sulzer.
— John Vogl (@BuffNewsVogl) February 5, 2013
Secondly, Ruff would also name Jhonas Enroth (0-1-0) as tonight's starter.
The Sabres will need a strong effort from Enroth this evening, who struggled in two appearances this season.

This team is dumb
I don't think Ruff knows what to do and he is just guessing now…. I love my Sabres and i will back them whatever they do but I think Miller should be in tonight, Ottawa has been good this season and I get nervious when Enroth starts…. I honestly think that Enroth is not happy with being on our team, thats the kind of vibe I get from Enroth's personality
Enroth to start??? I am worryed about that, he has been sketchy in net this season and last season.
