A 72-year-old woman who bounced in and out of a highway ditch in Minnesota unknowingly lost her backseat passenger.
Louise Ericksen was driving south on Highway 72 in northern Minnesota on Sunday when her car veered into the ditch, hit a sign and broke the back window. Kendall Ericksen, 15, was thrown through the broken glass, the Minnesota Highway Patrol told the Duluth News Tribune.
Louise Ericksen steered back onto the highway and kept heading south, unaware of what had happened, troopers said.
When she and the front seat passenger realized Kendall was missing, they drove back to the area and found her standing along the highway with minor injuries, according to the News Tribune.

"The Vow" is a slick tearjerker that tugs at every emotion one can possess, then vows to wrestle them even further to the ground. It's meant to make you laugh and cry, but most of all, the film makes no bones about it's similarities to a similarly wrenching movie that also starred Rachel McAdams entitled "The Notebook."
In "The Notebook," McAdams' character, Allison, pushes and pulls Ryan Gosling's character, Noah, into a love mush of confusion. In "The Vow," Channing Tatum ends up on the receiving end.
Leo (Tatum) and Paige (McAdams) meet by chance one day, of course. They fall in love. They are true soul mates. She's a carefree artist who is working on a big sculpture commission. He has taken his love of music and turned it into a successful recording studio, doing so on her urging.
One night after seeing a movie (I was hoping they would have just come from "The Notebook," but that would have been way too cheesy) on a wintry evening, their car is hit from behind by a snow plow. She suffers brain trauma that will eventually lead to memory loss. Her recuperation is quick with no outward problems save for a few tiny scars. What's been lost, however, is five years of her life that have been zapped from her brain, which happens to be the crucial time when she met and married Leo.
While "The Vow" could have been a Lifetime Movie of the Week about a woman trying to regain her memory and taking back her life, the script surprisingly downplays this particular part of the drama. Instead, it wisely puts us into the world of Leo, showing us through his looking glass about what it is like to be erased from someone's memory.
Tatum embraces the role as a romantic soul who has met the woman of his dreams. He's almost too good to be true ? a hunk of a guy that's sensitive, too. Before the accident, when he asks that she move in with him, he spells out the proposal in blueberries after making her pancakes. Post accident, he tries to recreate their first date, including a swim in Lake Michigan, so that may be the memories will come flooding back to her.
McAdams is able to convincingly play a woman stuck between a past that becomes more familiar to her than her present, which isn't even a blur. Her coldness of not wanting to fit back into the life she built with husband Leo gives way for the sympathy to channel entirely into his camp.
Jessica Lange plays Paige's mother and while some could say this isn't really a Lange-worthy film, she still shows her Oscar-winning ways. In a small scene where she tells the story of her own vows to her husband (played by Sam Neill), Lange fills the screen with emotion. Here is where you'll reach for the hankie even more than the other "Vow" scenes that are meant to provoke tons of tears.
In true Hollywood fashion, the story of the real "Vow" couple has been dramatized for the big screen. However, Kim and Krickitt Carpenter, who live in New Mexico and now have two children, said in interviews that they are pleased with the film and, especially with its PG-13 rating. Krickitt still has no recollection of about two years of her life before the accident.
This is a chick flick perfect for a "Valentine's Day" date night. When there's a run on blueberries at grocery stores around the country, we'll know why.

Topeka Office
WICHITA, Kan. – United States Attorney Eric Melgren announced that Ryan Wolf, 33, Martinsville, Indiana, entered a guilty plea on December 12, 2005, before U.S. District Judge Wesley E. Brown to one count of misapplication of student assistance; two counts of theft of federal funds; and one count of mail fraud.
Wolf admitted that he was employed as the men's assistant or head basketball coach/instructor at Barton County Community College in Great Bend, Kansas, from May of 1998 through 2003. His duties included coaching the men's basketball team, teaching courses, serving as an academic advisor to student athletes and supervision of student athletes participating in the campus and federal work study programs. Wolf admitted that on several occasions, he participated and assisted student athletes with the completion of Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) forms. More than once, he filled out and caused the completion of the FAFSAs with false information. Specifically, the FAFSAs were completed to state that a certain student athlete would have a high school diploma or GED by the time he enrolled at BCCC, when Wolf knew this was not true. Wolf knew that these specific students would not be eligible for federal financial aid if the form stated that the students would not have their high school diploma or GED by the time of their enrollment. Wolf further admitted that he did not complete the "preparer" portion o f the FAFSAs on these occasions as required.
Wolf admitted that on or about September 6, 1999, Carlton Baker was an 18 year old resident of Indiana. Mr. Baker did not graduate from high school or obtain a GED certificate prior to attending BCCC. Furthermore, Mr. Baker has not completed home schooling or passed a DOE approved ability to benefit test. Wolf prepared or caused the preparation of a FAFSA form for Mr. Baker which represented that Mr. Baker would have a high school diploma or GED before he enrolled at BCCC. Wolf knew that this was false. Based upon this false statement, between July 5, 2000, and June 30, 2001, Mr. Baker received approximately $6,800.00 in Pell Grants and federally guaranteed subsidized student loans.
BCCC also had a campus work study program which was subsidized by funds from sources other than the federal government. This program allowed BCCC to provide compensation to qualified students that BCCC employed under its campus work study program. It was a requirement of BCCC that all payments to qualified students were to be made for work actually performed by the students, and proper documentation was to be maintained for all such work and compensation.
Wolf was authorized by BCCC to designate student athletes for employment under the Federal Work Study Program and the campus work study program. It was part of the Wolf's duties and responsibilities to supervise the work of these student athletes and to maintain proper documentation of the work they performed. This documentation included time sheets that were prepared to reflect the date and hours worked by the student athlete. These time sheets were to be completed honestly and signed by the appropriate student athlete and the appropriate supervisor, who in many instances was Wolf. Wolf did not require these student athletes to work as represented on the time sheets. Despite the failure of these student athletes to perform work under the Federal Work Study Program and the campus work study program, Wolf knowingly and willfully, prepared and submitted (or approved the preparation and submission) of time sheets which falsely represented that student athletes performed work as part of these programs and, as such, were entitled to be paid. Wolf admitted that from January 1, 1999, through 2003, $71,981.75 in campus work study program funds were misapplied, embezzled, obtained by fraud and converted without authority. Wolf further admitted that during this same time, $17,633.70 in Federal Work Study Program funds were misapplied, embezzled, obtained by fraud and converted without authority to the use of another.
Wolf admitted that he participated in a scheme involving academic fraud at BCCC. Wolf admitted that on numerous occasions he completed or facilitated the completion of academic work on behalf of student/athletes. Wolf admitted that he paid another to take a GED test offered at Warrent Central High School in Indianapolis, Indiana, in the name of Carlton Baker. This individual passed the GED test, in the name of Carlton Baker. The GED certificate issued in the name of Carlton Baker was provided to BCCC on or about August 13, 2001, and became part of Mr. Baker's academic file. With the completion of this requirement, Mr. Baker was eligible to earn and did obtain an associate degree from BCCC. Mr. Baker's official transcript was mailed from BCCC to San Jose State University on June 26, 2001, and August 13, 2001. Based upon this information, San Jose State University believed that Mr. Baker was eligible to enroll at San Jose State University and to play NCAA Division I basketball, when in fact he was not eligible to play basketball. This information also had the effect of representing that Mr. Baker was eligible to receive federal student assistance, when in fact he was not. By participating and assisting others in the completion of this scheme to defraud, Wolf deprived the San Jose State University and BCCC of the good and honest services of Mr. Baker.
Wolf faces a maximum of five years in federal prison, without parole, for misapplication of student assistance; a maximum of ten years on each count of theft of federal funds; and a maximum of twenty years for mail fraud. Sentencing is set for February 27, 2006, at 10:00 a.m. Wolf remains on bond pending sentencing.
Melgren commended the excellent work of the U.S. Postal Inspection Service and the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Inspector General, in this investigation.

- Abstract
- The Fornax cluster spectroscopic survey (FCSS) is an all-object survey of a region around the Fornax cluster of galaxies undertaken using the 2dF multi-object spectrograph on the Anglo-Australian telescope. Its aim was to obtain spectra for a complete sample of all objects with 16.5 < bj < 19.7 irrespective of their morphology (i.e. including "stars", "galaxies" and "merged" images). We explore the extent to which (nearby) cluster galaxies are present in 2MASS. We consider the reasons for the omission of 2MASS galaxies from the FCSS and vice versa. We consider the intersection (2.9 square degrees on the sky) of our data set with the infra-red 2 micron all-sky survey (2MASS), using both the 2MASS extended source catalogue (XSC) and the point source catalogue (PSC). We match all the XSC objects to FCSS counterparts by position and also extract a sample of galaxies, selected by their FCSS redshifts, from the PSC. We confirm that all 114 XSC objects in the overlap sample are galaxies, on the basis of their FCSS velocities. A total of 23 Fornax cluster galaxies appear in the matched data, while, as expected, the remainder of the sample lie at redshifts out to z = 0.2 (the spectra show that 61% are early type galaxies, 18% are intermediate types and 21% are strongly star forming).The PSC sample turns out to contain twice as many galaxies as does the XSC. However, only one of these 225 galaxies is a (dwarf) cluster member. On the other hand, galaxies which are unresolved in the 2MASS data (though almost all are resolved in the optical) amount to 71% of the non-cluster galaxies with 2MASS detections and have redshifts out to z = 0.32.

Sioux City schools may make changes for voting
The Woodbury County elections boss is working with Sioux City school officials to have children absent on November's Election Day every two years.
The Sioux City Journal reports that elections commissioner Pat Gill has asked the district to hold teacher training that day so students won't be in buildings being used as polling places. Gill says removing children for the day would eliminate security concerns posed by doors being left open for voters.
District Superintendent Paul Gausman says the district will consider holding the training on those Tuesdays. Normally the sessions are held on Monday afternoons.
Gill has said that if such measures are not taken, Sioux City schools eventually won't be used as polling places. He says other counties are moving away from using schools for voting.

There is a secret about Bernice King that not everyone close to her wants you to know.
"She has a shoe fetish," says Angela Farris-Watkins, a cousin. "She has shoes to go with every outfit. She likes all kinds of shoes: sandals, heels, open-toed and different colors. She buys shoes like bread."
It's not surprising that the youngest child of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. would care so much about what she puts on her feet. She has been walking in the footsteps of one of history's greatest moral leaders all of her life.
With the nation poised to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington, the daughter of the dreamer seems to be stepping out of his shadow.
A guarded woman who once contemplated suicide, the Rev. Bernice King is openly confronting some of the painful and controversial episodes in her life. She is engaging in a flurry of interviews with journalists to mark the commemoration of her father's most famous speech. Now 50, she was born just months before her father told the world, "I have a dream."
She also is lowering some of the walls that she admits she erected over the years to protect herself from stinging criticism directed at her and her family.
"People just don't know me, period," she says. "The first tendency is to make a judgment. Part of that has to do with people feeling like I'm stoic, standoffish. Some people feel like I'm arrogant. It's unfortunate because people don't know my heart.''
For some, she is freeze-framed as the bewildered girl who rested her head on her mother's lap at her father's funeral in 1968. For others, she is one of the King children, accused of aggressively seeking to profit off their father's legacy while embroiled in legal feuds with each other. Still others see her as the daughter who invoked her father's legacy while marching against same-sex marriage.
In one of her most candid interviews, King talked with CNN about all of those episodes in her life.
It couldn't have been easy for her. She sighed loudly at times at some questions and once flashed a hint of exasperation. To be so publicly vulnerable is not easy for a woman who carefully plans everything, even if it's just walking to her mailbox, friends and family say.
"If you're out among the people, and everybody thinks you belong to them and you've never met them, you, too, would walk a little quieter," says another cousin, the Rev. Alveda King.
'I have walls for a reason'
On a recent afternoon, King is walking into the spiritual birthplace of her family, Ebenezer Baptist Church. She is running 40 minutes late, and a crowd of photographers and onlookers -- including several Buddhist monks -- gather to watch.
Before she poses for photographs, King asks about the type of pictures that will be taken and mentions some earlier photos of her that she didn't like.
Farris-Watkins, a psychology professor at Spelman College in Atlanta, says King is a "Type-A person" who is not comfortable with spontaneity.
"You can say, 'Let's go and do so and so' on the spur of the moment, and she will rarely answer yes," Farris-Watkins says. "She would rather have planned that."
Even small gestures have to be planned, Farris-Watkins says.
"I don't care if she's just going to the mailbox," she says, "she won't come out unless she is in makeup and dressed."
Unplanned moments have not been kind to King's family. Sudden bursts of tragedy are part of her history. It goes beyond her father. Nestled in the basement of Ebenezer is a picture of her grandmother, Alberta Williams King. She was shot and killed by a gunman in 1974 while sitting at the church's organ one Sunday. Bernice King's uncle, the Rev. A.D. King, was found dead in his swimming pool a year after her father's assassination.
There have been more recent losses. In 2006, her mother, Coretta Scott King, died from ovarian cancer. And only a year later, her only sister, Yolanda, a warm and vivacious woman who some say held the King children together, died suddenly of a heart attack at 52.
"I have walls for a reason," she says. "When you grow up with the kind of tragedy we've grown up with, you're cautious. I was 5 when he was assassinated. Some of the distrust and walls come up automatically. It's kind of comes second nature. That probably bothers me the most."
King has had to assume a resolute public face in the face of all these tragedies, says W. Imara Canady, a longtime friend and Atlanta regional office area director for the United Negro College Fund.
"Most of us get the opportunity to deal with tragedy privately," Canady says. "I don't know if she's even had the space to grieve."
Beyond the upcoming march commemoration, King is assuming a more public role for another reason: She was appointed chief executive officer of the King Center last year. She sees the King Center as an educational institution that teaches nonviolence, not an activist group that protests the burning issues of the day.
Still, she speaks bluntly about issues such as economic inequality and racial justice. She criticized the recent U.S. Supreme Court voting rights decision. The court voted 5-4 to essentially gut the mechanism in the 1965 Voting Rights Act that forced certain states to "pre-clear" or get prior approval from the federal government for any changes in voting procedures.

There are many different geographical areas to choose from in Costa Rica: from the flat, arid plains of the Guanacaste region to the remote jungles of the Osa Peninsula. Each is special, but Manuel Antonio/Quepos is unique among them all.
Every country has one or two of those "quirky little towns" and Manuel Antonio is "it" in Costa Rica. Very small, but filled with an eclectic mix of Costa Ricans and "expats" from Europe, North and South America.
Dave Houck
We have a large artist community and a lively music scene. Add to that visiting sports fishermen (Quepos is world renown), surfers, back packers and international tourists and you've got a very social and diverse community. After just a few days of staying in our Manuel Antonio rentals, you'll start recognizing the locals and others you've met at the beach or on a tour.
Manuel Antonio itself, is spread along the ridge top road from Quepos to the Manuel Antonio National Park (the most visited park in Costa Rica) and is surrounded by dense jungle filled with exotic wildlife (monkeys, sloths, toucans) and quaint little open air restaurants, bars and small boutique hotels (not the mega resorts). Some of the most expensive real estate and villas in Costa Rica are located in this area.
I'm Dave Houck. I live in Tulemar and own this company with my business partner, Mauricio Jara, a Costa Rican.
I first came to Costa Rica over 20 years ago on vacation. After exploring the country during many subsequent trips, I decided that I wanted to live in Manuel Antonio, so I built a home in Tulemar and now live here year round.
Most of our luxury Costa Rica villas are located in Tulemar, the only gated and secure, 33 acre jungle resort community in Manuel Antonio with private residences and it's own beach. We have hiking trails thru our jungle, food and beverage service at the pool and/or beach and paved roads (which may sound odd, but you will appreciate them!).
We're located right in the heart of Manuel Antonio, within walking distance to many fun restaurants and bars. There are many beautiful beach resorts in Manuel Antonio, but a location in Tulemar is where you'll want to be.
Mauricio Jara
At Tulemar Vacation Home Rentals, we're able to make reservations for all the privately owned properties in Tulemar, from the small, tropical, Tulemar bungalows to the luxurious private Manuel Antonio villas. These owners are our friends and neighbors. We know them and their properties well. We have an office located inside Tulemar, so we can assist throughout your entire trip: from lodgings and transportation to tours, restaurants, activities and special services. Whatever your Costa Rica vacation needs, we can make it happen!

- Abstract
- We present results of a spectroscopic search for Lyα emitters (LAEs) in the Cl1604 supercluster field using the extensive spectroscopic Keck/DEep Imaging Multi-Object Spectrograph database taken as part of the Observations of Redshift Evolution in Large-Scale Environments survey. A total of 12 slitmasks were observed and inspected in the Cl1604 field, spanning a survey volume of 1.365 × 10 4 comoving Mpc 3 . We find a total of 17 high-redshift (4.39 ≤ z ≤ 5.67) LAE candidates down to a limiting flux of 1.9 × 10 –18 erg s –1 cm –2 ( L (Lyα) = 4.6 × 10 41 erg s –1 or ~0.1 L * at z ~ 5), 13 of which we classify as high quality. The resulting LAE number density is nearly double that of LAEs found in the Subaru deep field at z ~ 4.9 and nearly an order of magnitude higher than in other surveys of LAEs at similar redshifts, an excess that is essentially independent of LAE luminosity. We also report on the discovery of two possible LAE group structures at z ~ 4.4 and z ~ 4.8 and investigate the effects of cosmic variance of LAEs on our results. Fitting a simple truncated single Gaussian model to a composite spectrum of the 13 high-quality LAE candidates, we find a best-fit stellar velocity dispersion of 136 km s –1 . Additionally, we see modest evidence of a second peak in the composite spectrum, possibly caused by galactic outflows, offset from the main velocity centroid of the LAE population by ~440 km s –1 as well as evidence for a nontrivial Lyα escape fraction. We find an average star formation rate density (SFRD) of ~5 × 10 –3 M ☉ yr –1 Mpc –3 with moderate evidence for negative evolution in the SFRD from z ~ 4.6 to z ~ 5.7. By simulating the statistical flux loss due to our observational setup, we measure a best-fit luminosity function characterized by Φ * L * = 2.2 +3.9 –1.3 × 10 39 erg s –1 Mpc –3 for α = –1.6, generally consistent with measurements from other surveys at similar epochs. Finally, we investigate any possible effects from weak or strong gravitational lensing induced by the foreground supercluster, finding that our LAE candidates are minimally affected by lensing processes.

To date, they have typically relied on punch cards to keep track of customers' progress toward collecting a program's reward. But now loyalty reward apps can give restaurant operators a new tool to manage these programs in the smartphone era. Below are the seven ...

In fulfilling the Peace Corps' mandate to share the face of America with our host countries, we are making special efforts to see that all of America's richness is reflected in the Volunteer corps. More Americans of color are serving in today's Peace Corps than at any time in recent years. Differences in race, ethnic background, age, religion, socioeconomics, and sexual orientation are expected and welcomed among our Volunteers. Part of the Peace Corps' mission is to help dispel any notion that Americans are all of one origin or race, and to establish that each of us is as thoroughly American as the other, despite our many differences. Our diversity helps us accomplish that goal.
In other ways, however, our diversity poses challenges. In Samoa, as in other Peace Corps host countries, Volunteers' behavior, lifestyles, background, and beliefs will be judged in a cultural context very different from our own. Certain personal perspectives or characteristics considered familiar and commonly accepted in the United States may be quite uncommon, unacceptable, or even repressed here.
Outside of Samoa's capital, residents of rural communities have had relatively little direct exposure to other cultures, races, religions, and lifestyles. What is viewed as "typical" cultural behavior or norms may be a narrow and selective interpretation, such as the perception in some countries that all Americans are rich and have blond hair and blue eyes. The people of Samoa are justly known for their generous hospitality to foreigners; however, members of the community in which you will live may display a range of reactions to differences that you present. To ease the transition and adapt to life in Samoa, you may need to make some temporary, yet fundamental compromises in how you present yourself as an American and as an individual. For example, female trainees and Volunteers may not be able to exercise the independence available to them in the United States; political discussions will need to be handled with great care; and some of your personal beliefs may best remain undisclosed. You will need to develop techniques and personal strategies for coping with these and other limits. Although Peace Corps staff will lead diversity and sensitivity discussions during your pre-service training and will be on call to provide support, the challenge will ultimately be your own.

Overview of Diversity in Samoa
The Peace Corps staff in Samoa recognizes adjustment issues that come with diversity and will endeavor to provide support and guidance. During pre-service training, several sessions will be held to discuss diversity and coping mechanisms. We look forward to having male and female Volunteers from a variety of cultures, backgrounds, religions, ethnic groups, sexual orientations, and ages and hope that you will become part of a diverse group of Americans who will take pride in supporting each other and demonstrating the richness of American culture.
What Might a Volunteer Face?
Possible Issues for Female Volunteers
Sexual harassment can occur to both women and men anywhere in the world. However, there is no arguing that female Volunteers are more prone to be targeted. Women can be verbally harassed and have unwanted sexual advances made toward them at work, on the road, and in public places. It is important for Volunteers to realize that they are not alone or isolated. Volunteers are trained in methods and apprised of existing policies that will allow them to deal effectively if they become a target of such harassment.
Possible Issues for Volunteers of Color
Volunteers of color contribute a lot in educating Samoans about the diversity of American society. It would be untrue to say that "racism" does not exist in Samoa. Asian and African-American Volunteers have experienced racial remarks or comments being leveled at them in one instance or another. Most of the remarks can be innocent enough, born out of ignorance and misunderstanding perhaps resulting from how Americans of color are represented in the media. Helping Samoans to remove the stereotype that all Americans— especially Volunteers—are white does help a great deal.
Possible Issues for Senior Volunteers
Being a senior Volunteer may offer additional challenges to Peace Corps service. However, older Volunteers have served admirably and have overcome these challenges. A concern for some senior Volunteers worldwide has been accommodation and transportation. It is important for all Volunteers to remember that the amenities offered in most housing will be very basic. Moreover, transportation is also basic and limited to the use of public transport (often on crowded buses), a bicycle, or walking. However, Samoa has adequate transportation infrastructure in terms of good roads and site accessibility. Another concern for some senior Volunteers prior to service is language acquisition. Rest assured that if you are interested and willing to try, the Peace Corps training staff will work closely with you to overcome that hurdle.
Possible Issues for Gay, Lesbian, or Bisexual Volunteers
It is currently illegal for anyone to engage in homosexual behavior in Samoa. Legal authorities have noted that many of Samoa's civil laws are dated and have been since the country became independent in the 1960s. Having said that, in general, most Samoans tolerate and accept gay, lesbian, and bisexual Volunteers. We have not received any negative reports or had complaints lodged against such Volunteers. However, most Volunteers opt to remain closeted to the Samoan community, and are able to be freely out with the Peace Corps community including Volunteers and staff. As long as Volunteers are discreet, their sexual preference should not have a negative impact on their Peace Corps service.
Possible Religious Issues for Volunteers
Since Samoa is a Christian country, Volunteers may face the tag of being non-church going or an atheist if they do not attend church on Sundays. Sunday observance in Samoa is enforced, especially within the villages. Volunteers, despite their religious beliefs or affiliations, often find that participation in certain church services or activities, like singing in the choir, are useful for community integration and can be viewed as another aspect of the cross-cultural experience. For those who do not attend church services, you should refrain from any activities outside or inside the home that may be interpreted as being disrespectful of the holy day.
Possible Issues for Volunteers With Disabilities
Volunteers with disabilities may receive stares of curiosity as some Samoans may fail to realize that staring is inappropriate. The Government of Samoa has put an emphasis on increasing services for people with disabilities and on improving education for students with special needs. These efforts are beginning to lead to greater awareness, understanding, and positive change.
The Peace Corps Office of Medical Services determined that you were physically and emotionally capable, with or without reasonable accommodations, of performing a full tour of Volunteer service in Samoa without unreasonable risk to yourself or interruption of your service. Peace Corps/Samoa staff will work with disabled Volunteers to make reasonable accommodations in training, housing, job sites, and other areas to enable them to serve safely and effectively.
Possible Issues for Married Volunteers
Couples will be housed together during training and service in Samoa. Nevertheless, they may face their own set of issues during training and service. While couples will do many activities together, they should be prepared and willing to work on separate projects and assignments. These may require one of the spouses to commute to another village or site during the day or even to stay at a separate location for a few days at a time.
Couples should consider how varying degrees of enthusiasm about Peace Corps service, adaptation to the physical or cultural environment, and homesickness will affect their lives. A husband and wife may have to deal with changed marital roles due to societal expectations. A married man may be encouraged to take on a more dominant role in the relationship, while a married woman may find herself in a less independent role than she is used to. This may create tension for a couple at work (e.g., a wife being expected to perform "traditional" domestic chores instead of working) and at home (a husband being ridiculed for performing domestic tasks or for refusing to have extramarital affairs). Finally, responding to and coping with competition (e.g., one spouse learning more quickly than the other) or differences in job satisfaction may also be issues couples should consider before beginning their service.

Making a big deal out of burgers has a timeless cool factor. According to Technomic, the "better burger" trend has super staying power.
Whew! Burgers are here to stay, according to a new report by Technomic. The evidence tells of "a growing number of 'better burger' concepts," citing a winning formula of raising the quality of the protein, bun, toppings and sides.
It turns out 74 percent of consumers rank quality/taste of the meat as the most important part of the burger, so skimping on the quality here is not the way to go. Quality ingredients have helped sales jump at chains like Smashburger and Five Guys over the past couple of years.
Better burgers are also a great opportunity to put a signature item on the menu. What to put on a burger? Before getting all crazy, cheese is still the best place to start. Cheeseburgers are the very top type of hamburger, according to the report. I could never understand someone wanting a hamburger but not a cheeseburger.
At my favorite old fashioned 50s-style burger place here in Northeast Ohio, Bearden's, the secret ingredient on the "Bearden's Burger" is good old Jif peanut butter!
The peanut butter, "when spread on the warm patty, melts into the burger. Like the classic Reese's Peanut Butter Cup, the two flavors blend together to create a new taste altogether. It's sweet, nutty and meaty — all at the same time," enthuses Lake Erie Living writer Colleen Smitek in an article about the venerable burger joint.
How are you making your burgers better?

It's taken five years to get to the point of breaking ground on what will be known as Halekauwila Place.
It needed state land, a private developer and the Hawaii Housing Finance Corporation to finally launch an affordable housing project in Kakaako for singles and families.
"There is a huge demand for this. It's in the thousands. We wouldn't be able to continue building to satisfy the demand," said developer Stanford Carr.
"We have public lands and we are putting good purposes to having housing ability for our people," said Abercrombie.
The project will be a 19-story tower near Mother Waldron Park -- next to a lot slated to be the tallest high rise in the state.
But this project will be limited to those making 60 percent of the area median income.
That works out to $42,000 for a single household and $65,000 for a family of four. That equates to studios. One-bedroom, two-bedroom and three-bedrooms that equates to just under $1,000 for a studio to $1,500 for a brand new three bedroom townhouse," said Carr.
The groundbreaking comes just as the governor has acknowledged he is looking to the legislature to take a second look at the Public Land Development Corporation that aims to fast track projects similar to this one.
"Yes, there are difficulties out there in terms with what we are doing with public land with meeting public purposes and the construction associated with it," said the governor.
The governor said he does NOT want to fall behind with the state's plans to move forward maximizing public land for the public good.
"This project Halekauwila Place is one of the visible ways that we are turning the corner," said Abercrombie.
Carr expects the project to be ready for occupancy in the first quarter of 2014.
One project of many-- in the urban core what some have dubbed the new 3rd city.
