A woman visiting a grave escaped serious injury when she was hit by a runaway car at a Berks County cemetery Monday.
According to officials, a man accidentally left his car in drive, and it began rolling down a hill at the Gethsemane Cemetery at 3139 Kutztown Road in Muhlenberg Township around noon.
The car was headed toward a woman who was planting flowers at a grave, and the man yelled at her to get out of the way, officials said.
The woman was hit, and suffered leg injuries and a bloody nose. She was taken to Reading Hospital for treatment.
A mausoleum was also damaged.

Brooklyn is one of the nation's most vibrant metropolitan areas with a dense and multi-ethnic population. Its immigrant history is storied as in A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, an American literary classic. With a large foreign-born population there is a growing need for affordable immigration legal services specifically for people with low-incomes. For that reason, CLINIC, other nonprofit organizations, and immigrant advocates joined to start such a program in Brooklyn.

The airline industry would be hilarious if it weren't so sad. Check out these two headlines:
- "Airline stocks up after United's quarterly profit"
- "Airline stocks fall after Continental's report"
You'd have found both at MarketWatch yesterday, posted just hours apart. How's that for irony? We love you, airlines! Wait, no we don't!
None of the numbers were great. UAL's (Nasdaq: UAUA ) United, which lifted airline peers such as AMR (NYSE: AMR ) and US Airways (NYSE: LCC ) in early trading, rallied on news that it had recorded a profit despite weakening demand.
But headlines can deceive, and they did here. UAL, a recent YouTube victim, achieved that profit in part by cutting costs some 52%. Fuel expenses in particular fell 64%, and United's per-share net loss excluding special items improved to $2.23 a share, from $21.57 in the year-ago quarter.
Investors may have been more impressed by management's more bullish outlook on cost reductions. Management now says that it will be able to cut costs per available seat mile (CASM) by $150 million more than it had planned as of January.
But Wall Street had much less enthusiasm for Continental's (NYSE: CAL ) report. Not only did revenue fall 23%, but the carrier also suffered a much steeper loss -- $1.72 per share, versus just $0.05 a year ago. Executives announced a plan to increase fees and cut 1,700 jobs to reduce costs.
As of this writing, Continental is taking the biggest hit among airline stocks, but Southwest (NYSE: LUV ) isn't feeling the love, either. Shares of the low-cost pioneer were down close to 7%, on news that it ... uh … posted a profit. Wait, what?
Southwest earned $54 million despite a 9% decline in revenue, to $2.6 billion. Fuel costs fell 23% to $1.79 per gallon. So why the sell-off? Perhaps because CEO Gary Kelly isn't expecting an instant recovery.
"While our second quarter unit revenue trends outperformed the industry, our total operating revenues were down almost nine percent from a year ago and six percent on a unit basis," Kelly said in a press release. "Demand for business travel remains weak, and we continue to stimulate traffic with more discounted and promotional fares."
Shocking. We love you, airlines. Oh, and we hate you, too.
Taxi towards related Foolishness:
- Now this is an airline worth buying.
- And here's another that could be on its deathbed.
- Some airplanes can't seem to get off the ground.

Barbe (6-1) moved to 3-0 and got a leg up in the District 3-5A race with its second consecutive pressure-packed victory.
Barbe defeated Carencro (4-2, 3-1) 41-37 last week after trailing by 20 points in the first quarter. The Buccaneers clinched the victory by stopping the final Carencro drive in the last minute deep in Barbe territory.
Thrilling wins are becoming the norm for Barbe, which defeated district rival Acadiana 31-28 a week earlier thanks to a game-winning field goal as time expired.
STILL ROLLING: St. Thomas More continued to ride good momentum after starting the season 0-2. The Cougars (4-2, 2-0) defeated District 5-4A foe Northside 35-14 in Week 7. Its fourth victoriy in five games puts them alone atop the district standings. … Teurlings Catholic rebounded from its first loss of the season (St. Thomas More) with an impressive 38-7 thumping of Breaux Bridge.
TAKE THAT: There's one less undefeated team in the District 4-3A standings after Notre Dame (5-1, 2-0) handed Iowa (6-1, 1-1) its first loss of the season, 28-12. That sets up a showdown this week between Notre Dame and the lone other undefeated team in district, Westlake (5-1, 2-0), which handed Jennings (4-3, 0-2) its second consecutive loss.
HARD CHARGIN': Washington-Marion's Melvin Jones was at it again. He scored the winning touchdown with 1:20 remaining to lift the Chargin' Indians (6-1, 2-0) to a 22-15 District 4-4A victory over DeRidder. In the previous game, a 14-6 victory against district foe St. Louis, Jones was a difference-maker, scoring both touchdowns.
LET'S SORT IT OUT: Rayne (7-0, 2-0) stayed perfect by defeating District 5-3A foe Port Barre 58-13 last week.
Eunice (7-0, 2-0) stayed even with Rayne in the district standings by defeating Livonia 39-31. It's been two hard-fought weeks for Eunice, defeating Livonia (5-2, 0-2) and Northwest (5-2, 0-2) 35-34.
Rayne, which defeated Livonia two games ago, has Church Point (5-2, 2-0), Eunice and Northwest in the final three weeks of the regular season.

SAN ANTONIO -- So who will be the next defensive coordinator for the Oregon Ducks?
Some of the bigger names who figure to be candidates include former Ducks safety and current Washington Huskies defensive coordinator Justin Wilcox and former USC defensive coordinator Clancy Pendergast.
Internally, linebackers coach Don Pellum and defensive backs coach John Neal figure to get a look.
Wilcox, who grew up 13 miles outside of Eugene in Junction City, is rumored to be headed to USC to follow Steve Sarkisian. An announcement could come as early as Saturday. However, if Wilcox leaves to another conference school, that school must pay Washington one million dollars, which has complicated the process. Wilcox reportedly makes $800,000 at Washington.
Aliotti was the highest paid Oregon assistant, getting a raise to $419,250 last year, so a run at Wilcox would require a significant boost in payroll. Head coach Mark Helfrich, who will conduct the search in conjunction with athletic director Rob Mullens, makes $1.8 million a year.
Mullens said money will play a factor.
"Hey, finances are always a part of these decisions,'' Mullens said. "It will be a piece in it. I don't think from an assistant coach standpoint it is as much as an inhibitor as it is on the head coach situation.''
Pendergast, who was a defensive coordinator in the NFL with Kansas City and Arizona Cardinals, led the Pac-12's top defense this season, but is not expected to be kept by Sarkisian. He has two years left on his contract. Pendergast is known for a five-man defensive front that is predicated on being physical and stopping the run ... two traits that have troubled Oregon.
Within the Oregon staff, linebackers coach Don Pellum is listed as assistant head coach in his contract and is a former Oregon player. He has coached 21 seasons at Oregon. Also, defensive backs coach John Neal spent two seasons as the defensive coordinator at the University of Alabama-Birmingham. Under Neal, the Blazers ranked fifth in the nation in total defense in 2001.
Aliotti, who spent 24 years at Oregon including 17 as the defensive coordinator, said he has candidates he would like to recommend, but only if asked.
"If Mark (Helfrich) asks me, I do,'' Aliotti said. "But I will leave it at that.''
Mullens said the plan is to conduct a national search while also considering in-house candidates.
"We want to be thorough,'' Mullens said. "We will approach it from a national standpoint. We will find the right person. How long that takes, who knows? It's obviously Mark's decision, but of course I will play a role in it because it's a critical hire for us.''

Festivities will begin Friday at 6 p.m. with a kickoff by the Acoustic Gypsies band. Pine Junction will have a beer tent with live entertainment as well. Plus, the Findley Lake Library will host a large book sale.
Saturday will bring more live music at the Pine Junction beer tent, and Marty's Bubble Gum Machine will provide fun activities at the Gazebo for the kids on Saturday from 1-5 p.m. Shopping will be available at the new Village Center, along with other shops along Main Street. The band Antyx, featuring Rob Vance, will start at 7 p.m., and fireworks will begin at 9 p.m.
The festival wraps up on Sunday with the "Kids Got Talent" contest, which will feature cash prizes.
"It has been a favorite now for five years and running - so come on out and have some fun," said Horner.
For more information, call 814-397-4461 or email@example.com.
Since 1953, Clymer has played host to a similar celebration called the Tulip Festival, which occurs biennially, and will be held in 2014. The theme of 2012's festival was "Show Us Your Roots," and featured traditional Dutch dancing and costumes. A Tulip Queen is crowned during the event. Plus, there are several other aspects to enjoy such as an evening program, flower show, antique displays and handcrafts.
For more information, search for "Clymer Tulip Festival" on Facebook.
For those looking for something more along the resort and spa lines, Peek'n Peak is a popular destination for winter sports enthusiasts in Findley Lake. In addition to the winter season programming, the resort offers rest and relaxation opportunities year-round.
The resort offers a wide selection of lodging opportunities, spa amenities, fine dining, two golf courses and the recent addition of Segway Scenic Adventures guided tours. Live music is also held at Peek'n Peak's Regency Pub.
Peek'n Peak will also host a Fall Festival on Oct. 12-13 and 19-20 that annually draws nearly 20,000 attendees. The festival will feature vendors, rock climbing walls, a car show, carriage horse rides and a petting zoo.
Peek'n Peak is located at 1405 Old Road in Clymer. For more information call 355-4141 or visit www.pknpk.com.
Those looking to spend some time with the family in the outdoors can opt to check out one of the many campgrounds located in and around Findley Lake.

If you're not a major scotch lover, this could be the scotch for you. I think this is the only scotch my bourbon-loving father will drink at affairs hosted by Scotch lovers.
Tasting Notes
This exceptional Glenfiddich 21 Year Old single malt Scotch whisky is uniquely finished for up to four months in hand-selected bourbon barrels that once contained rum from the Caribbean, infusing this rare whisky with a rich and indulgent toffee sweetness. On the nose, rich aromas of fig, fudge and hints of ripe banana combine elegantly, while on the palate complex favours of vanilla toffee and spice intermingle with warm oak and the merest hint of smoke.
Technical Notes
In the summer of 1886 our founder, William Grant, set out to fulfil a lifelong ambition of creating the 'best dram in the valley'.
With the help of his seven sons and two daughters, William built his distillery in a single year. Their hard work was rewarded on Christmas Day 1887 when the first drop of spirit flowed from the small copper pot stills. William named his distillery Glenfiddich, Gaelic for 'Valley of the Deer'.
Over 120 years later, Glenfiddich is one of the few single malt distilleries to remain entirely family owned and our whisky has become the world's most awarded single malt*, a true reflection of the passion, integrity and innovative spirit that have been passed down through the generations.

FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Red Sox pitcher Daisuke Matsuzaka continued his rapid recovery from Tommy John surgery with an impressive performance during a simulated game on Wednesday.
Matsuzaka threw almost two innings and allowed a single. He hit 92 mph on the radar gun and appears to be on track for a projected June 1 return to the rotation.
"Surprised at his velocity. … Threw some change-ups," manager Bobby Valentine said. "It's early. It's a good progression."
Matsuzaka underwent surgery on his right elbow a little more than nine months ago. He had a 5.30 ERA over eight appearances when he was shutdown in May.

Low Health Literacy Skills Increase Annual Health
Care Expenditures by $73 Billion
Low Health Literacy Skills Contribute To Higher
Utilization of Health Care Services
Health literacy refers to the set of skills needed
to read, understand, and act on basic health care information. Over
90 million adults with low health literacy skills (see box below)
have limited ability to read and understand the instructions contained
on prescriptions or medicine bottles, appointment slips, informed
consent documents, insurance forms, and health educational materials.
Poor health literacy skills have profound economic consequences.
Using data from a nationally representative sample
of the U.S. adult population age 16 and older, the National Academy
on an Aging Society examined the impact of literacy on the use of
health care services. The study found that people with low health
literacy skills use more health care services.
Overall, the study found that the primary source
of higher health care expenditures for persons with low health literacy
skills is longer hospital stays. Other factors, such as the
ineffective use of prescriptions or misunderstandings about treatment
plans may also have financial consequences.
While a significant share of the health care
costs fall on the patients with low health literacy skills, health
care providers and those that finance those providers share the
No study has directly measured the health
literacy of the U.S. population. However, it is possible
to estimate the number of people who have low health
literacy skills using results from the 1992 National
Adult Literacy Survey (NALS). The survey reported that
some 40 to 44 million of the 191 million adults in the
country are functionally illiterate. They read at or
below a fifth-grade level, or cannot read at all. Another
50 million are marginally illiterate. They are generally
able to locate and assimilate information in a simple
text, but are unable to perform tasks that require them
to assimilate or synthesize information from complex
and lengthy texts.(1) Because of the literacy demands
upon patients in the increasingly complex health care
system, adults who are functionally illiterate or marginally
literate are likely to have low health literacy skills.
Health care use, status, and insurance coverage data
are derived from the 1993 Survey of Income and Program
Participation (SIPP).

The recent announcement by Oregon State Rep. Chuck Riley, D-Hillsboro, that he will run against incumbent state Sen. Bruce Starr, R-Hillsboro, sets up what could be one of the most hard-fought and important legislative races of 2010.
Or does it?
Any time you have two legislative incumbents in a race, you figure it ought to be a dogfight. Starr and Riley both have excellent name recognition in the district, know how to raise money and have experience campaigning.
But it still remains to be seen how much Democrats will put into this race. After all, Senate Democrats are already busy defending 11 of the 15 Senate seats up next year.
In addition, Starr has a generally good record of working with Democrats - particularly in helping put together legislation raising taxes and fees for transportation. Riley has had a rockier time in the Legislature. Willamette Week rated him as "awful" in its biennial assessment of local legislators, and he has had some tough races just in his House district.
That said, it's clear that Starr is operating in what is becoming more Democratic territory. He's the last Republican legislator solely in Washington County, and Starr's district now has some 5,000 more Democrats than Republicans.
Even though Democrats have more seats to defend in the Senate next year, they will also likely have more campaign cash than the Republicans. So they might want to invest heavily in this race to force Republicans to do the same, leaving them less to spend on challengers.
Riley is clearly playing on the idea that Starr is out of tune with the changing politics of his western Washington County district.
"Bruce is in my opinion way too far to the right for the district," said Riley, adding that he intends to hit Starr for his votes on education, health care and the environment.
Conversely, Starr makes it clear he'll go after Riley for his votes to raise several taxes, which he said will alienate Riley from many of the more conservative Democrats in the district. "Those Democrats aren't going to love that Chuck voted to raise their taxes," he said.
In short, this will be a race to watch if Riley can demonstrate he can be an effective fundraiser and campaigner. If that happens, the race could turn on how voters are feeling about the two parties when November of 2010 rolls around.
But wait, one more thing. Just as Riley announced last week that he's seeking the Senate, his wife, Katie, announced she will run for his House seat. The Forest Grove News-Times reports that Forest Grove City Councilor Elena Uhing may also seek the Democratic nomination. And it would not surprise me if Republicans make a play for the seat as well.

The Dauphin County jury that is weighing the so-called Computergate political corruption case will begin a fourth day of deliberations on Monday.
Since late Tuesday the panel has been considering charges that ex-state Rep. Brett Feese and his former aide Jill Seaman were part of a $13 million conspiracy to divert state funds to GOP political purposes.
Feese, 57, of Lycoming County, and Seaman, 59, of Dauphin, together face roughly 80 charges, including theft, conspiracy and conflict of interest counts.
The attorney general's office claims they were integral to a conspiracy headed by former House Speaker John Perzel to use public money to buy computer services that abetted Republican election efforts and pay state employees to work on political campaigns.
Feese and Seaman insist they are innocent of wrongdoing.
Seven other defendants in the case, including Perzel, have pleaded guilty. Perzel and several of the defendants who have acknowledged guilt testified for the prosecution during the six-week trial of Feese and Seaman.

Design is a creative process—most often involving a client and a designer and usually completed in conjunction with producers of form— undertaken in order to convey a specific message to a targeted audience. The term "graphic design" can also refer to a number of artistic and professional disciplines that focus on visual communication and presentation. The field as a whole is also often referred to as Visual Communication or Communication Design. Various methods are used to create and combine words, symbols, and images to create a visual representation of ideas and messages. A graphic designer may use a combination of typography, visual arts and page layout techniques to produce the final result.

The results of WWE's Extreme Rules 2014 pay-per-view are in, so it's time for us to look back on the evening and break down the highlights and low points that made the event what it was.
Following the biggest show of the year in WrestleMania 30, was WWE able to keep the momentum going and have as good of a show or even a better one?
Or, on the contrary, did this prove to be nowhere near as good in comparison, with more low points than highlights?
Did the main events of The Shield vs. Evolution and Daniel Bryan vs. Kane measure up to expectations, or were there other matches that stood out in some fashion?
Let's break down the positives and negatives of the night, presented to you in order of their appearance on the event's timeline.

The first George Kovacs lamp store opened in Manhattan in 1954 and has since evolved into a lighting collection featuring a broad range of high-quality lighting fixtures produced with a mid-century modern flair.
A team of renowned designers, including George Kovacs himself, Karim Rashid, Alecia Wesner and Rachel Simon, have designed a wide selection of wall sconces, pendants, ceiling lights, bath lighting and table and floor lamps, sure to fit in to any modern decor.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Bert from Exceeded expectations Simple, clean lines. Very well built. Easy installation although four hands are helpful when connecting the wiring. And the lighting quality is outstanding; fills our large bathroom with a bright but not glaring light. Dims with the same switch we used on the old incandescently.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Anonymous from Good light I purchased the LED version of this light and the brightness is really great. Relatively easy to install. The overlay for the box was an odd design so it took some creativity to make that work. The only issue with the light is that occasionally you can hear a hum from the ballast I assume.

Tube 6 Light Bath Light is rated out of 5 by 4.
Hi there, and thanks for your interest in this design. Yep the LED version has an integral driver so no remote transformer is needed for installation. I do apologize for the inconvenience, but due to the contracts that we currently maintain with our manufacturers, we are unable to ship anywhere outside of the US and Canada at this time. Our free shipping over $75 applies to orders within the United States only. We hope you are able to find a local retailer that meets your design needs!

While I realize that 12.5" is required on either side to change lamping, because it's LED, I don't plan to change lamping very often. Does this rule apply for actual installation of overall fixture as well?

Last call for artworks to adorn vacant storefronts
A nonprofit arts group is looking for art installations to feature around town.
Storefronts, a program which showcases artworks in empty storefronts, is accepting applications for the year.
Works of chosen artists will appear in 35 vacant storefronts in Seattle — in Pioneer Square, International District and South Lake Union — as well as in Bellevue, Auburn, and Mount Vernon. Each artwork will be showcased for three months as long as the storefront remains available.
"The nature of the beast is that these are spaces for lease, so when they lease, we disappear," said Matt Richter, program manager of Storefronts.
The program accepts both two-dimensional and three-dimensional installations of all shapes and sizes.
"Please bear in mind that some of our storefront spaces are large, deep, expansive spaces with giant windows. Some are shallow display windows and relatively small. Some are tall and skinny, some are short and wide. There is no standardized Installations window or storefront. Think broadly about your work and about the potential spaces in which it could be installed," said Storefronts Seattle on its website.
Several pieces curated by the program can already be seen around the city.
A lighted sign that spells out "Somewhere out there" adorns the windows of the Publix Hotel in the International District. And a kinetic sculpture of two metallic "fans" can be seen moving robotically in the window of a closed shop at 400 South Maynard Street.
Storefronts, which began as a city project, has expanded since the nonprofit group Shunpike began overseeing it in 2011. Shunpike provides back-office services for small art groups.
This is the first year Storefronts, which received approximately 400 applications last year, is expanding beyond Seattle.
Artists can apply online at storefrontsseattle.com until 11 p.m. PST on March 17.

After years of legal wrangling, former residents of the P.E.I. Protestant Orphanage are sharing an almost half a million dollar settlement from the government and the P.E.I. Protestant Children's Trust.
P.E.I. Supreme Court Justice Wayne Cheverie signed the $486,400 settlement order Friday morning, along with a second order to seal all the records except for the settlement amount, the plaintiffs' names and an appendix that lists some of the documents filed.
As part of the settlement, all sides agreed to release a media statement that included the amount paid to the 57 plaintiffs as a group, although it didn't provide a breakdown of how much each person was awarded.
It did say the province paid $250,000 toward the settlement while the P.E.I. Protestant Children's Trust paid $236,400.
The orphanage was founded in 1907 to care for Island children and a new building opened in 1922.
It closed in 1975.
The legal battles began after a group of former residents filed a claim in January 2002 in which they alleged they were victims of physical and sexual abuse while at the orphanage.
In the years that followed, the case went as far as the Supreme Court of Canada, which upheld a provincial appeals court ruling that found the P.E.I. government had no duty of care toward the children who lived in the orphanage and weren't wards of the province.
In the media statement issued Friday, the parties said the settlement was made without admitting any liability by any party and was subject to a confidentiality agreement.
"Counsel for all parties noted that while no party is wholly satisfied with this settlement, it is one that all parties have agreed to live with and one that will allow the former residents to move forward with their lives and allow the Trust to resume its funding of charitable concerns," the release said.
"Counsel for all parties noted that while no party is wholly satisfied with this settlement, it is one that all parties have agreed to live with and one that will allow the former residents to move forward with their lives and allow the Trust to resume its funding of charitable concerns," Statement
The media release also said the parties involved will have no further comments to make because of the confidentiality agreement.
Before he signed the orders, Cheverie said he reviewed the summary of the disbursements in the settlement and thought they were appropriate and fair.
"The case has had a long and winding road," he said.
Cheverie, who took over as case manager in 2004, said there was a lot of compromise involved in reaching the deal.
"A settlement by its very nature involves compromise," he said.
He was presented with several disbursement options and none of them were perfect, including the one the parties settled on, Cheverie said.
"It's the fairest, I think, way to deal with the funds coming to the plaintiffs."
Cheverie called it a "long and protracted file" and he thanked the lawyers on all sides for their work in bringing it to a conclusion.
In granting the order to seal the records, Cheverie said he had to balance the public's right to an open court system with the individual rights of the litigants.
Once he knew there was a request to seal the records, Cheverie said he advised Island media and invited them to make submissions on whether or not the sealing order should be granted.
The Guardian and the CBC responded and an agreement was reached as to what would be disclosed, Cheverie said.
He also said it was appropriate for the media to be able to intervene because the case involved public money.
Everyone was well served by the agreement because it could have taken months to deal with the legal arguments around a publication ban, he said.
"That has been short circuited."

I REALLY want this recipe to work. This year (2015) Baskin Robbins had a pumpkin swirl cheesecake ice cream that was amazing. So I do want this flavor combination to be similar to that. The recipe does not include not only the size of the pan, but also should the crust be blind baked. I used a 10 inch pan and have made it unbaked and baked. The crust becomes mushy either way. I did not have a water leak. I also don't think there are enough crumbs for a pan that size, but I selected it because the basic recipe from which it was derived was for a ten inch cheesecake. I followed the baking instructions explicitly and feel they are spot on. Both times that I made this I used the lesser amount of time for the tented baking time. The cake was not jiggly, but was moist and not burned as others claimed. As far as the cake, I agree that all of the spices are too light. I doubled the vanilla which was perfect for the white cheesecake. I added 2 dashes of cloves to punch up the pumpkin spices. I use cloves when making pumpkin pie, so why not in this recipe? I would like this recipe to be re-configured by epicurious and reposted. Will continue experimenting.
GUYS! This recipe is not written in the detail it NEEDS to be. The 550 degrees is excessive passed 5 minutes. You have to literally stoop next to the oven to watch the cake until it JUST starts to puff. Then knock the heat down immediately. That kind of made me mad. Now its been 2 hours later and the damn thing is half-baked. C'mon. How has anyone gotten good results with this recipe? Was this a recipe for seasoned cheese cake veterans? This thing BETTER turn out.
Unbelievable! Made it with a graham cracker crust because my husband doesn't like gingersnaps. Baked in a water bath. The cake cracked while baking, but I ran a knife around the edge when it came out of the oven and the cracks closed. Brought it to a friend's house for dessert, to rave reviews. I do agree with one of the reviewers that there could be more plain batter, and I'll modify this next time. But this is a keeper and I'll probably be making this every Thanksgiving for us instead of pumpkin or pecan pie.
Was YUMMY!! Made it for my husband's wine club as they were tasting dessert wines. Was a hit! I did bake it in a larger pan so it wasn't quite as tall. Baked at 450 for a while and turned it down. It did crack but cracks didn't deter from the amazing flavour!
This cheesecake has become part of our new Thanksgiving tradition. The only change I've made is to make the crust from gingersnaps, almonds and coconut oil instead of butter. Friends have actually requested that I make this to bring to their holiday gatherings. It's really very easy and a big winner every year!
I followed the recipe exactly as written. 550 degrees cooked the cake to a nice charcoal consistency. It tastes ok and I can see how it would be very delicious, but...I am not going to charbroil it the next time.
This was delicious but the recipe neglects to tell you the size pan to use. I used a 9 inch but nxt time I think I would use 8 inches. Also i think it would be better to reserve more of the plain batter so that the marbling is more apparent
I made this for our company Thanksgiving feast and it was a HUGE hit. The owner of our company, who doesn't like pumpkin, loved it! I think it's pretty darn tasty as well! :) I made litte cheesecakes in muffin papers as they are easier to serve than a whole cake at an event such as this. Yes I baked them at 350 NOT 550 for about 27 min.
I have been making this every year (up to 5 times a year...I know, I know) for the past 9 years. It is one of my best and favorite recipes. It looks gorgeous--I've mastered the knack of making the marbling look like a big flower on top--and it tastes like the best, creamiest pumpkin pie you've ever had. Simply divine. I started out making it precisely as written. Currently the alterations I make are 1) graham cracker crust of 1.5 c crumbs, 5.5 T melted butter, 1/3 c brown sugar; 2) double the spices, 3) bake at 350 (I firmly believe 550 was a typo) for 20 min, then 200 for 1 hr 20 min, then turn off oven and leave in unopened oven for 20 min. I make it in a springform pan, so it's important to loosen the sides with a wet knife as soon as it comes out of the oven then let is slowly cool on the counter to room temp before putting it in the fridge--never cracks that way. I have probably been asked for this recipe almost 2 dozen times. Enjoy.
I have to say first & foremost, I love to experiment with different flavors of cheesecakes. It is my husband's favorite dessert so last night for his birthday I made this cheesecake. It did NOT disappoint :o) I followed the recipe to a T, although when the directions told me to bake the crust until crisp, I ended up baking it a little too long so the edges got burnt. Hate it when that happens! I would only bake it just as long as the recipe says. Don't worry about the crust crisping. I think it will do that on its own as you let it cool.

Handicapping the 4A football field
By CASEY OLSON
Sports editor
The Class 4A State Football Playoffs kicked off last night with three preliminary round matchups. The first round of games will conclude Tuesday and will leave 16 teams. The Gridiron Classic will be played Dec. 6 at the Tacoma Dome.
The Favorites
Bethel (9-0) The Braves rolled through the rugged SPSL South unbeaten and without ever being tested. Bethel plays defense and runs the ball behind monster left tackle Aaron Klovas, one of the highest-recruited lineman on the West Coast.
Kamiakin (8-1) The Kennewick school has the best defense in the state and their only loss came to the defending Idaho state champs on their home field.
Bothell (9-0) Ranked No. 1 in some polls. The Cougars won the KingCo League with a perfect record. But they could face Bethel next week if both teams win openers.
A Tier Below
Kentlake (8-1) The Falcons unseated two-time defending champ Kentwood to win the SPSL North title.
Kentwood (8-1) To be the best, you have to beat the best and Kentwood has been the best for the last two years. But they dont have the talent this season.
Evergreen (9-0) Powerful offense will get big test tonight against a much-better foe than the Greater St. Helens League can produce.
Olympia (9-0) Best team from the South Sound has three shutouts in nine games.
Pasco (8-1) The Big Nine Conference might be the second-best football league in the state behind the SPSL. Bulldogs were unbeaten until a loss to Kamaikin in final week of regular season.
Mariner (9-0) The Mariner defense has allowed only 54 points in nine games and have thrown four shutouts.
Upset Minded
Jackson (8-1) Have the most productive running back in the state in Johnie Kirton. The senior has 2,180 yards rushing and 30 touchdowns.
Ballard (7-2) The Beavers might have the best individual talent in the state. Three players are Division-I recruits, including safety/receiver Keauntea Bankhead (undecided), running back J.T. Diederichs (Washington State) and quarterback Cole Morgan (Montana).
Inglemoor (6-3) KingCo third-placers are led by Washington-signee lineman Jordan White-Frisbee (6-5, 290, Sr.).
Decatur (7-2) This isnt just a hometown pick. The Gators have the horses to make some noise, including a solid defense and a ball-control offense. All-everything Darin Harris is back to 100 percent after struggling with an Achilles injury for much of the season and playing with the normal reckless abandon Decatur fans saw last year.
Shadle Park (8-0) The Highlanders are unbeaten, but play in one of the weakest leagues in Class 4A football the Greater Spokane League.
The also-rans
Rogers (6-3) Second-place team from the SPSL South. Blew out Decatur.
Lincoln (7-2) Second place in the Narrows Bay Division behind Olympia.
Oak Harbor (8-1) Won WesCo North Division. Only loss came to Lake Stevens.
Capital (7-2) Third in Narrows Bay behind Olympia and Lincoln.
Fort Vancouver (3-6) Only losing team in the final 32. Fourth in weak Greater St. Helens.
Shelton (6-3) Third place in the Narrows Bridge Division behind Gig Harbor and South Kitsap.
Mountain View (6-3) Second in Greater St. Helens behind Evergreen.
Battle Ground (6-3) Third in Greater St. Helens.
Lake Washington (5-4) Won three-team mini-playoff to get KingCos fourth seed into playoffs.
Snohomish (7-2) Second in WesCo North behind Oak Harbor.
Richland (6-2) Tied for third in Big Nine with Southridge.
Southridge (7-2) Tied for third with Richland in rugged Big Nine behind Kamiakin and Pasco.
Mead (6-3) Won Greater Spokane American Division.
Gonzaga Prep (5-4) Second in Greater Spokane American behind Mead.
Lewis and Clark (7-1) Second in GSL National behind Shadle Park.
Auburn (5-4) Third in SPSL North behind Kentlake and Kentwood.

A reader recently had some second thoughts about returning a laptop. What happened to all of his personal data? Here's the advice I gave.
Mike: I recently bought a new laptop. As soon as I got it home, I transferred all the files from my old computer to the new one. But, about a week later, the new laptop developed a mechanical problem with the keyboard.
So I took it back to the store and asked their tech support to fix the keyboard. I was told they could not, but they would give me a replacement laptop and return the busted one to the manufacturer.
So I threw all my personal data files in the recycle bin, emptied it, and gave them back the busted laptop. A few days later, I started to get paranoid because there were some data files on the laptop that contained intimate details of my financial records, including account numbers and my social security number.
Feeling paranoid about identity theft, I called the store and explained my concerns that these sensitive files could be recovered off the hard drive I had given them. The tech guy said not to worry. He said the hard drive would be reformatted and reimaged back to factory specs before the laptop went back to the manufacturer, and that would completely destroy my data files.
Is he right? Will my files be 100% unrecoverable? I ask because there is a very good chance that laptop, once its repaired, will end up in some other user's hands. Could that person somehow recover my data? What's the best way to permanently delete data files so they can never be recovered? Thanks.
Jeff: I do trust that the manufacturer will reimage the computer and reformat it. But I wouldn't say the files 100% unrecoverable. There are applications that claim they can restore data from a reformatted hard drive.
I live my life under the assumption that someone has already stolen my information. I watch my credit and bank accounts online all the time to make sure there are no unauthorized purchases. You can also check your credit reports online for free to make sure no one is opening accounts in your name.
Some people don't feel safe ordering online on Amazon.com, but the waiter could write down your credit information when you pay your bill at a restaurant.
As far as securely erasing you hard drive, if you are using a PC, I would use this freeware.
If you are using a Mac, you could use the built-in '7-Pass Erase of Deleted Files feature when reformatting the hard drive.

Why is "politically radical" content not allowed on some providers?
I won't name names, but a bunch of providers do not allow politically radical content.
Now, this could include things like racism, but racism is specified as its own item, as is hate speech. So what exactly is left that is politically radical but not allowed?
I think in an open society, any topic should be debatable, as long as it keeps a certain tone. I mean even racist topics could be discussed in a normal fashion, without the hate part.
But I'm wondering, if racism and hate speech is already mentioned on their own, what other politically radical topics are not allowed?
I don't really like this lack of freedom on what topics to discuss...

It can often bring trouble hosting such material, hate mail, government pressure, ddos, etc.
If you're looking for a specific provider to host "politically radical" material you might want to look at prq.se, they host wikileaks.

We had a lot of IP's banned in Spain five years ago because Herri Batasuna had chosen us for a web hosting provider. We needed to move many clients to a different servers. it is important how do you define "radical". If anyone proclaims policies against international law, democracy and human rights I wouldn't get such a client no matter how do they pay.
However a politically incorrect might be considered the websites of the opposition parties or other civil organizations in countries with authoritarian or communist regimes. We would host such websites for free!Host Color ★ Colocation, Dedicated & Europe Dedicated Servers ★ since 2000

No one would like to get in trouble because of Radical content and hence many Datacenters and Hosts add this term in their Policy Statements.

The problem is: what offends? Who is to judge that?
I am sure that some people would be offended by one website I host, which is a blog by a married lesbian couple who have a teenaged child. Totally legal content, nothing adult on it at all, not particularly political, but some of the topics of discussion do bring flames because it is two women who are legally married in Canada. Their site offends some people. So, where do I draw the line?

If you host this site in Canada and you are Canada citizen and host company registered in Canada then you are free from any troubles. But i could not say that you will free from troubles if you, your company or your server origin/location will be on different country.

These sites are a big security risk for hosts. They attract DoS attacks, hacking attempts, phony abuse reports to upstream ISPs and government agencies, bad PR (e.g. "Host X hosts terrorists! Don't host there!"), etc.
The unfortunate reality is that these sites require specialized hosts, because standard hosts just can't handle all the risks. The good news is that there are hosts that specialize in hosting controversial sites. They take special security measures, they can filter DoS attacks, and they're prepared to respond to all the other issues.Scott Burns, President

It is a very interesting topic. It is very difficult to classify on multiple categories, but let me bring couple of examples.
Do you think that you would be able to host lesbian site in some, very well known countries that are very often in US news?
What if company is in US, but the owners (especially if they are resellers) are from those countries?
What if some of the owners or countries where they are from and where they are - are "politically radical" - do you think they would accept any alternative views?
And yes, some hosting companies/resellers have a week network, understaffed - they just don't want any potential problems with their network/services as a result of attacks.Professional Streaming services - http://www.tulix.com - info at tulix.com

Users are free (to some extent) to express themselves. And hosts are free to set the terms for their hosting (which can include "no racist sites" clauses)
Plus remember that at least in the UK, politically radical content and racism is illegal.Plagiarism Guard - Protect Against Content Theft

As far as i know (im not really into USA Laws) most "hate" and "radical" Sites should be perfectly legal in the USA (for instance many Neonazi forums, sites etc.) - its just some hosts that dont like them, but others will host them with no problem."Hurr durr look at dem offers section" (aka read mah signature) - WHT 2015

As part of the Gov. Chris Christie Administration's ongoing assessment of NJ TRANSIT infrastructure in the wake of Hurricane Sandy, the statewide transit agency continues to inspect facilities, infrastructure and equipment across all regions of the state.
While this destructive and deadly storm is now gone, it has left behind long-term mechanical and operational challenges that NJ TRANSIT must overcome. This will take time, and the blow delivered by Hurricane Sandy will continue to impact customers for days to come, states a release from the governor's office.
Due to significant damage across the State's public transportation network, NJ TRANSIT rail, light rail and Access Link service will remain suspended until further notice. On Wednesday, Oct. 31, NJ TRANSIT bus service will operate in Camden only, on a Saturday schedule.
NJ TRANSIT is advising customers of the following:
Bus Service:
Bus service will remain suspended until further notice, with the exception of limited service in Camden only.
NJ TRANSIT bus service will operate in Camden ONLY and on a regular, weekday schedule tomorrow, Wednesday, October 31, ONLY the following routes:
Full Service: Nos. 400, 401, 403, 404, 405, 406, 407, 408, 410,412, 414, 418, 419 (with detour at Rancocas Creek), 450, 451, 452, 453, 455 (with detour between National Park and Paulsboro), 457, 459 and 463
Partial Service: Nos. 402, 409, 413, 419, 455
Note: The Walter Rand Transportation Center (WRTC) is closed due to no power.
Rail Service:
Rail service will remain suspended until further notice. There is currently no estimated time for resumption of service.
Rail customers are advised to seek alternate transportation because of significant storm damage.
Crews continue to inspect the rail infrastructure to get a full assessment of damage:
NJ TRANSIT's Rail Operations Center—the central nervous system of the railroad—is engulfed in water, which has damaged backup power supply systems, the emergency generator, and the computer system that controls the movement of trains and power supply.
There are numerous downed trees across the rail system, which have caused damage to overhead wires and signal wires.
There are rail washouts across the system, including on the North Jersey Coast Line and Atlantic City Rail Line.
Several rail stations are flooded, including Hoboken Terminal.
Morgan Drawbridge on the North Jersey Coast Line in South Amboy sustained damage from boats and a trailer that collided into the bridge.
Light Rail Service:
Hudson-Bergen Light Rail, Newark Light Rail and River Line service will remain suspended until further notice. There is currently no estimated time for resumption of service.
Crews continue to inspect the light rail infrastructure to get a full assessment of damage.
Newark Light Rail sustained flooding in Newark Penn Station, as well as major debris damage between Newark Penn and Branch Brook Park stations.
Hudson-Bergen Light Rail experienced track washouts at Port Imperial and West Side Avenue stations, as well as trees in the overhead wire in Weehawken and flooding in Hoboken.
River Line sustained no significant damage to equipment or infrastructure; however, due to a loss of commercial power between Camden and Trenton, there is no power to operate the signals and switches.
Access Link:
Access Link Paratransit Service will remain suspended until further notice. There is currently no estimated time for resumption of service.
Service Updates:
For the latest travel information, customers should listen to broadcast traffic reports, visit njtransit.com or access NJ TRANSIT's Twitter feed at @NJ_TRANSIT.
Additionally, NJ TRANSIT will provide the most current service information via the My Transit alert system (www.njtransit.com/mytransit), which delivers travel advisories for your specific trip to your cell phone, PDA or pager. Service information is also available by calling (973) 275-5555.

AVON LAKE An accident that critically injured a boy earlier this month sparked an investigation as to whether a stop sign or other precautions are needed at the intersection of Deer Run and Fox Chappel Lane.
Noah Venesile, 9, was hit by a car near the intersection on Nov. 6. He remains in MetroHealth Medical Center in fair condition.
In a letter to City Council's Safety Committee, T.J. Worsencroft, president of The Colonies Homeowners' Association, asked the city to conduct a traffic study at the intersection.
"Many residents in the community have expressed that the intersection of Fox Chappel Lane and Deer Run is very busy," he said. "Currently, a stop sign is located at the Fox Chappel intersection, but north-south traffic on Deer Run does not have to stop."
"We would like to have the intersection of Deer Run and Fox Chappel evaluated as soon as reasonably possible to prevent future traffic incidents from occurring," Worsencroft added.
The Safety Committee voted 3-0 to recommend that Mayor/Safety Director Greg Zilka and the Police Department conduct a traffic study to determine what improvements can be made.
According to Safety Committee Chair Dave Kos, the study will include several steps, which will start as soon as possible. These include:
• A traffic counter test will be conducted to measure the number of vehicles traveling through the intersection, as well as their direction and speed.
• The Police Department speed wagon will be placed in the neighborhood to alert drivers to their speed.
• Additional patrols will be added.
• Police Chief Dave Owad and City Council members will work with residents and the homeowners' association to craft notifications for residents regarding safe driving and to ask for their feedback on driving concerns.
"An increased police presence will let people know we have made it a priority, and that the area is being watched and studied," Kos said.
He added that the most important step will also be the most difficult to achieve as winter approaches. The traffic counter strips, he said, require placement for several days to collect thorough data. However, they do not respond well in winter conditions. That may require holding off until spring to gather that data.
Once all the data has been collected, a determination will be made as to whether a stop sign can be added.
"A city can't just put up a stop sign. The Ohio Department of Transportation has guidelines that must be met. We will evaluate the area, look into the speed, past accident reports in those areas, whether there are any visual obstructions, etc. We'll look at it all and come to a conclusion," Kos said.
"A stop sign may be the best fix, but if the study finds it's not warranted, some other signage may be possible that doesn't have to meet the stop sign threshold."
In addition to the study in the Titus Hill/Colonies subdivision, a similar study and precautions will also take place in the Bridgeside subdivision. Resident Julie Salman attended the meeting and expressed similar concerns that an accident could happen because of vehicles that routinely speed down the straight stretch of Bridgeside Drive.
A fund to help defray medical costs for Noah Venesile was established by his aunt, Christine Venesile. The online link for secure donations is available at the family's Prayers and Support for Noah Venesile Facebook page, or at payitsquare.com/collect-page/8714. Checks also can be sent to Noah Venesile, c/o Christine Venesile, 8355 Windsor Way, Broadview Heights, OH 44147.

The OECD Ministerial Meeting on the Digital Economy moved the digital agenda forward in four key policy areas foundational to the growth of the digital economy. Internet openness; digital trust; global connectivity, jobs and skills.
Data-driven innovation forms a key pillar in 21st century sources of growth. The increasing migration of socio-economic activities to the Internet and the decline in the cost of data collection, storage and processing, are leading to huge volumes of data, referred to as "big data".
Open Government Data (OGD) is a philosophy- and increasingly a set of policies - that promotes transparency, accountability and value creation by making government data available to all.
The OECD helps governments preserve the open and unified Internet that is needed to support economic growth while managing privacy and security risks.

Alcoa Architectural Products has introduced a series of nine architectural coatings that shift color under different lights when used on the company's Reynobond and Reynolux cladding materials.
PrismFX color-shifting finishes "provide an option for architects who want to enrich their designs with variable color," the company said in a product announcement.
The coatings are available with the company's Reynobond Aluminum Composite Materials (ACM) and Reynolux profile materials, flat sheet and coil.
Green, Violet and Copper
"PrismFX finishes can give your building a look as dynamic as your design," said George Rosado, commercial director for Alcoa Architectural Products.
"The coating creates subtle color shifts as lighting conditions change throughout the day. A building that appears green, blue or silver in the morning can shift to copper, violet or gold in the afternoon."
PrismFX high-performance Duragloss 5000 coatings are designed to withstand the corrosive effects of saltwater, intense UV exposure and extreme temperature shifts without warping, cracking or fading, "so there are no geographical limitations on where they can be used," the company says.
Garage Accents
The manufacturer recommends PrismFX finishes for decorative or "attention-grabbing" architectural elements.
