Toyota $1B+ Acceleration Class Action Settlement is Biggest in Auto History

Settlement will cover equipment installation, compensation for lost value
Steve W. Berman
, Managing Partner at Hagens Berman, has achieved a key victory over what is expected to be the world's largest automaker in 2012.
Toyota Motor Comp. (
) on Wednesday filed documents to settle
a major class action lawsuit
organized by Mr. Berman over
unintended acceleration
in a variety of models. The case was being held in
U.S. District Court for the Central District of California
, in Santa Ana, Calif.
Under the
settlement terms
[PDF], Toyota will set aside an estimated $1.2-1.4B USD, making the settlement agreement the biggest in automotive history, according to Mr. Berman's team. The settlement fund will be used to compensate the owners of 3.25m Toyota vehicles for lost resale value. The owners will also be eligible for free installation of a brake-override system.
After a fiery crash of a Lexus (Toyota's luxury brand) killed four in California in 2009, the
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
(NHTSA) launched a formal investigation into acceleration issues. While
some suspected electrical origins
for the issue,
no such issue was ever replicated
. Ultimately the problems were
blamed on faulty floor mats
, which could entrap pedals on the Toyota vehicles, leaving drivers unable to brake. Millions of vehicles
were recalled
in the company's largest recall ever. Toyota was forced to also
temporarily suspend sales in 2010

Mr. Berman
Toyota's decision to settle the outstanding litigation and move ahead, commenting, "After two years of intense work, including deposing hundreds of engineers, poring over thousands of documents and examining millions of lines of software code, we are pleased that Toyota has agreed to a settlement that was both extraordinarily hard-fought and is exceptionally far-reaching."
Toyota chief North American legal officer -- Christopher P. Reynolds -- sought to take the opportunity to restate Toyota's point that its electronic systems were never proven to have issues, remarking, "This was a difficult decision -- especially since reliable scientific evidence and multiple independent evaluations have confirmed the safety of Toyota's electronic throttle control systems."

He adds, "[Ultimately] we concluded that turning the page on this legacy legal issue through the positive steps we are taking is in the best interests of the company, our employees, our dealers and, most of all, our customers."
Toyota certainly has enough resources to cover the settlement. The company witnessed a rocky 2011 due to parts shortages from the tsunami and related domestic issues (see: Fukushima nuclear disaster). But this year Toyota is expected to regain the sales crown, which was last year held by General Motors Comp. (
). Toyota is
expected to announce
sales rose 22 percent in 2012 to 9.7m vehicles, despite a Chinese boycott due to a territorial spat, more
government fines
, and more recalls.

text: Back in 2007, when the Dutch government announced that all 7 million homes in the Netherlands would be equipped with smart meters by 2013, it anticipated little resistance. After all, who wouldn't welcome a device that could save both energy and money? But consumers worried that such intelligent monitoring devices, which transmit power-usage information to the utility as frequently as every 15 minutes, would make them vulnerable to thieves, annoying marketers, and police investigations. They spoke out so strongly against these "espionage meters" that the government made them optional.

Delay OK on permit idea
For the second time in as many months, the state Adirondack Park Agency postponed action on a controversial proposal that would streamline the review process for certain kinds of clear-cutting on private lands in the park.
The agency made a reasonable decision in delaying any action. The issue is a complicated one that has generated intense debate among those inside – and even some outside – the Blue Line.
The proposed general permit, called "Silvicultural Treatments for Sustainable Forestry in the Adirondack Park," was slated to come before the APA board Thursday for a decision, but it was pulled from the agenda Wednesday by agency Chairwoman Lani Ulrich. A spokesman for the agency said Ulrich wanted to give the board more time for deliberation because it is a complicated issue.
Under current rules, any clear-cut of more than 25 acres requires an APA permit and must go through a stringent and lengthy review process that includes a final vote by the agency Board of Commissioners. The agency has only issued three such permits in the last 20 years.
APA officials say the rules have caused landowners and forest managers to skirt agency jurisdiction by performing multiple clear cuts of less than 25 acres.
The proposed general permit would expedite the review process for certain kinds of clear-cutting on lots of 25 acres or more, but only for landowners involved in forestry certification programs like those run by two nonprofit groups, the Forest Stewardship Council and the Sustainable Forestry Initiative. The general permit would shorten the time frame for approval and allow agency staff to issue permits without a vote by the APA board.
Since it was proposed in November, the general permit has sparked a heated debate among the Park's stakeholders. Forestry industry experts and local government leaders have generally supported the plan, but it has drawn the ire of environmentalists.
The APA also delayed action on the proposal in January after receiving more than 200 comment letters on it, most opposed to the plan. The agency then made some revisions to the general permit, but it still drew a big backlash from green groups.
While people complain about governments moving slowly, they also get upset when governments pass rules before the public can understand it.
For example, consider the state's passage of new restrictions on gun owners.
Sheriffs across the state – including in Fulton and Montgomery counties – have noted parts of the New York SAFE Act are too broad, limiting and difficult for gunowners. Legislators, including Assemblyman Marc Butler, have a problem with the legislation, which was quickly passed and discussed little before approval. At least one Fulton County man has gone so far as to sue Gov. Andrew Cuomo over the legislation.
The APA does not want to invite similar public reaction. Taking time to change the rules is acceptable, especially when some are concerned the changes may hurt the park.

Four candidates seek Saranac Lake school board seats
SARANAC LAKE – The slate of candidates is set for the May 21 school board election in the Saranac Lake Central School District.
Four people filed petitions to run for the two available seats on the district's Board of Education by Monday's deadline, according to board clerk Christine Fransen. Each position carries a three-year term.
Running for re-election to the board are Esther Arlan and Clyde Baker. Arlan has served two stints on the board, from 1994 to 2003, and from 2008 to present. Baker has been on the board since 2008. Both live in Saranac Lake.
Shir Filler of Vermontville is also on the ballot. She's a North Country Community College English professor and recently served on a committee of district residents that helped interview candidates for superintendent of schools.
Tracey Schrader of Saranac Lake is looking to get back on the board. She served on the board from 2007 until 2012, when she lost her re-election bid. She's the co-owner of Schrader General Contracting.
The school board election will take place May 21, the same day as the district's budget vote. Polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.
The Enterprise will profile each of the candidates before the election.

The high-efficiency light convergence technology and the color wheel work together to achieve the high brightness of 6,500 lm for the PT-DX610ULK. Clear, crisp images are reproduced even in bright rooms.
The Dual-Lamp System eliminates the need to interrupt a presentation if a lamp should burn out (in dual-lamp operation mode). The Lamp Relay mode also operates the lamps alternately to enable 24/7 projector operation.
Panasonic's unique liquid cooling system directly cools the DLP™ chip to improve performance and enable operation up to 45°C (113°F). This allows use in a wider variety of environments, while stabilizing performance and keeping the unit quiet even in harsh conditions. It also contributes to realizing the compact body. Plus, Panasonic's liquid cooling system is hermetically sealed, so you don't need to replenish the liquid.
The wide adjustment range of the powered horizontal/vertical lens shift function assures convenience and versatility during installation. It lets you easily make adjustments with the remote control. The unit can also be rotated 360 degrees vertically. This means you can install it at any angle you want, to accommodate different installation conditions.
Choose from a wide lineup of optional lenses for your system, including short-throw, long-throw zoom and fixed-throw lenses for rear projection use. The additional lenses make it easy to adapt your projector to the installation site. The lenses attach and detach with one-touch ease.
The Multi-Screen Support System optimally adjusts multiple screens: Edge blending, color matching and multi-screen processor.
Simultaneously display images from two sources onto a single screen with the Side-By-Side function. For example, you can display a PC image on the left and a video image on the right. Taking advantage of the wide-screen projection, this function gives you a host of new application possibilities to explore.
Remotely operate projectors and check their status with a computer connected through a wired LAN system. An e-mail messaging function can also notify you when a lamp needs replacement, and indicate the overall projector status. In addition, Multi Projector Monitoring and Control Software is available for monitoring and controlling multiple Panasonic projectors from a single PC.

Hello Chip,
They are actually brushing the morning dew or rain off. It helps in the weighing and makes dragging the cutting bag a lighter task.
I do get the freshest tea you can imagine. The first couple of weeks after I get it the flavor is FRESH. The bulk of the tea is carted off to JA, the Japanese farmers co-op. I help a little and I sell it by the pound once a year for a very limited time, mostly as a favor to the guy doing the cutting. This years harvest is over but take a look here, [url]http://togeii.wordpress.com/2010/06/03/2010-first-cut…a-very-cheap-2/[/url] .

Beware the 'Stock Market Trading Jones'
Written by: Doug Kass
Tickers in this article: AAPL AMZN GOOG IBM NKE OAK RIMM
This column originally appeared on Real Money Pro at 8:47 a.m. EST on Dec. 24.
Societal pressures that favor short term over long term . As a society, we have grown increasingly impatient. The media (and for that matter our society) increasingly emphasizes short term over long term and instant gratification over building value through intermediate-/long-term value. Today, we even communicate more briefly than ever in staccato-like form via tweets of under 140 characters on Twitter and the acronym soup of instant messaging. How-to-profit books, teaching us how to gain money and fame quickly, outsell more thoughtful investing books such as Benjamin Graham's The Intelligent Investor . All of these pressures (in the pursuit of instant riches) contribute to excessive trading by individuals. Quick solutions and foolish acceptance of a special sauce to investment success . We too often seek quick solutions to complex problems/issues. Increasingly, traders seek a special sauce, an algorithm or stock chart that evokes the promise of immediate success, often shunning the heavy lifting and time-consuming analysis. In its simplicity, this also leads to excessive trading, as if the appearance of a chart is an almost mystical and certain way to produce the Benjamins. Technical analysis has a broad definition and when utilized intelligently can be a very helpful adjunct in making (and timing) trades and investments. But too often the decision to make so many of these trades is seen purely through the narrow interpretation of a stock chart, a view that historical price action will provide us with a guide into the future. I see this often on Real Money Pro -- particularly in front of an earnings release. Does anyone really think that prior to, say, Nike (NKE) reporting its most recent earnings, a trader can outsmart the legions of other traders by virtue of looking at a chart? Does that really make sense to any of you? Shortening cycles . In our fast-moving world, economic, corporate and investment cycles are ever more truncated. Performance definitions grow ever briefer, whether it is the duration of a CEO's or baseball manager's career, measuring a company's profit performance, investors' patience with their investments (manifested in heavy turnover and reduced holding periods compared to any time in history) or with defining investment performance.
NEW YORK ( Real Money ) -- Today, I see many traders and investors afflicted with what I call the stock market trading jones. Market participants feel compelled to overtrade. It comes in the form of a near-obsession in overtrading both on news-based dislocations (to the upside and downside) and on non-dislocations in the normal course of business, typically through chart gazing. The need to play too many earnings reports and the desire to trade macroeconomic events reside among numerous other catalysts.
There are several obvious influences that contribute to the addiction of too-frequent trading:
- Brokers. Brokerage companies have made trading at home easy and inexpensive. Sophisticated Internet-based trading platforms allow individual investors to trade actively at markedly reduced commission rates relative to any other time in history.

It's a local run for me, so I'm going to have a crack at it this year. All I know is that it's a three-lap course.
I know this post doesn't help you, but it's the only way I can see to subscribe to this thread .
The race wasn't cancelled because of the weather as such. There was an overturned car on the course, so it was called off for safety reasons. Arguably, the car was overturned due to the weather, but more likely due to moronic driving in adverse conditions.
I know some people who were entered, and they ran the course in any case because it was marked out and ready. They only ran one lap though.
oh, this is one of my faves
3 laps summed up in a single word - GRIM (however, will probably do it again this year as I only live 20 minutes away and there aren't many other December marathons!).
Its december and Its Luton - so not an ideal combination. Course is mildly playful in that the slopes on the first loop turn into hills on the second and by the third they are mountains. Organisation is pretty good with plenty of water etc and generally well signposted and marshalled. Support is limited most of the way around - although as loops you do get to see your supporters (if they can brave the Luton winter weather) three times. Bits of course are quite nice but other bits are as dull as dishwater and parts run down A5 (I think)
Main thing I didnt like was there was a short but un-sign posted walk from the finish back to the race HQ.
Good solid race
Total climb of just over 400 meters over the 26.2 miles according to my garmin.
Main "hill" is 50 meters up over about 2-2.5 miles repeat three times and a few other ups and downs.
we've done this 7 times, course best of 4:37, and course worst of 5:15
It's 3 laps - it's a good event, i'm always happy and impressed by it
well see, this is where the power of physcology and control of the mind comes into play
i could go on,....
good luck with what ever
Good summary from Keith. I did the relay last year and found it to be a well organised event, but I'm not sure I'd be too fussed about doing the whole 3 laps. Apart from the ups and downs (not huge but I can imagine they'd start getting bigger on the 3rd lap) there are some exposed sections and it was a tad breezy last year.
A good one to do if you're averse to running marathons in the heat, I guess!
NOT that i know you or have met you
but with your marathon times i've read about you do suprise me
but of course 3 laps isn't everyones thing
TBH, for us, there's an event called Boddington Ultra, it's normally 50k- it's just off M5 J12 ??, it's coming up trhis weeekend i think
anyway, my point is -
it's 2.2 ??mile laps , virtually flat , beautiful rural etc, you'd think it's easy pb stuff
but you know, most we've done is 18, done a HM on it, just cannot get my head around it, it seems to have a jinx on me
and i've pushed Phil around 3 track marathons of 107 laps each
Hi Mick - we may not have said hello but last year's Luton marathon was the first time I've seen you and Phil in the flesh! I was on 2nd leg for the relay, so I was watching the start of the race, going up the first hill, and gave you a cheer.
I'm sure I'd get round the 3 laps OK, but I think I'm a bit all-or-nothing when it comes to marathon courses. Either something fast and flat so I can go for a PB, or something with loads of silly hills in like Beachy Head, for the challenge. Luton's a bit in-betweeny for me.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Aug. 13, 2012) – Just days after winning beach volleyball medals at the 2012 Olympic Games, Kerri Walsh, Jen Kessy and April Ross are already back on the sand and will compete on Wednesday at the Mazury Orlen Grand Slam in Stare Jablonki, Poland.
The event is part of the 2012 FIVB SWATCH World Tour.
Walsh (San Jose, Calif.) and longtime partner Misty May Treanor (Santa Monica, Calif.) won their third consecutive Olympic gold medal in London in a fitting conclusion to a historic partnership.
In Poland, Walsh will pair up with Nicole Branagh (Orinda, Calif.). The duo had enough FIVB ranking points to earn automatic entry to the main draw and are slated to begin play on Wednesday.
Kessy (San Juan Capistrano, Calif.) and Ross (Costa Mesa, Calif.) walked away from their Olympic debut with the silver medal after falling to May-Treanor and Walsh in the championship match. Kessy and Ross are also set to begin main draw play on Wednesday.
Lauren Fendrick (Carlsbad, Ind.) and Brooke Hanson (Ventura, Calif.), seeded No. 1 in qualifying, will have to earn their spot in the main draw. On Tuesday, they will face Latvia's No. 32-seeded Monta Strazdina and Alise Pastare.
If they win their first-round match, Fendrick and Hanson will face either Latvia's No. 17-seeded team of Inguna Minusa and Inga Ilkauniece or Austria's 16th-seeded team of Valeri Teufl and Elisabeth Klopf.
Angie Akers (Fort Wayne, Ind.) and Brittany Hochevar (Fowler, Colo.), seeded No. 7 in qualifying, will face Poland's Sylwia Pilarek and Aneta Gancarczyk (No. 26) in the first round of single elimination.
If they win their first-round match, Akers and Hochevar will face either face either the Netherlands' Jolien Sinnema and Marloes Wesselink (No. 10) or Finland's 23-seeded Rikka Lehtonen and Taru Lahti.

Whiteface ski patrol building on Adirondack Park Agency agenda
RAY BROOK – The state Adirondack Park Agency will consider a series of upgrades at Whiteface Mountain Ski Center at its one-day meeting Thursday at its headquarters.
The agency's State Land Committee will meet at 2 p.m. to review an amendment to the unit management plan for the ski center, which is run by the state Olympic Regional Development Authority. The plan includes the construction of a new ski patrol building on Little Whiteface and the installation of antenna systems for Essex County's public safety radio communications system.
At an informational presentation last month, an ORDA engineer said the upgrades would only result in minor environmental and visual impacts. APA officials said the work isn't expected to affect the habitat of the Bicknell's Thrush, a rare bird that breeds at the mountain's higher elevations, since no tree cutting will occur at the construction site.
Among other business on its agenda, the agency's Regulatory Programs Committee will consider a proposed 44-site seasonal campground in the town of Hopkinton, St. Lawrence County, at 9:30 a.m.
At 11 a.m., the Economic Affairs Committee will hear a presentation from Colleen Lemza on the Essex Pallet & Pellet Company, located in the Keeseville Industrial Park.
At 1 p.m., James McKenna and William Farber will brief the Park Policy and Planning Committee on the recommendations of the Adirondack Partnership Recreational Work Group.
In addition to reviewing the Whiteface plan amendment, the State Land Committee, at its 2 p.m. meeting, will also hear an informational presentation from state Department of Environmental Conservation staff member Carol Fraser and APA state land staff on programs to address access for people with disabilities.
At 3:45, the Legal Affairs Committee will consider authorizing agency staff to file a notice of proposed rulemaking that would update citations, make technical corrections to, clarify and repeal obsolete language in the agency's existing rules.
The full agency board will meet at 4 p.m to take action as necessary. The meeting will conclude with committee reports and comments by the Local Government Review Board, members and the public.
The meeting will be webcast on the agency's website, apa.ny.gov, where meeting materials are available for download.

We're going to be dealing with multidimensional arrays of values that I'll call tensors. We can refer to the individual elements of these arrays by providing tuples of indices drawn from some set of indices. For example we might refer to the elements of a 10 by 10 array by using pairs of indices, each drawn from the set {0,1,2,...,9}. We'll write some indices as subscripts and some as superscripts. Here are some examples: vi, wj,Tij,Wijkl. vi means the ith value in array v, Tij means the (i,j)-th element of T and so on.
We can form sums over such indices like this
where the sum is over the corresponding index sets for j and k.
The Einstein summation convention is simply this: if an expression has an index repeated once as a subscript and once as a superscript then we implicitly assume a sum over the index without writing the summation symbol. So the above expression becomes simply
The vector space monad allows us to express something similar using do-notation. Let's use the type Bool for our index set, so we're selecting elements of our arrays using the values {False,True} rather than integers. Let ei be the (2-dimensional) vector with the property that its j-component is 1 for j=i and 0 for j≠i. In do-notation this is represented by return i. We use superscripts to indicate the components of a vector so the components of ei are eji. We can write the vector v=3eFalse-5eTruea, with components (3,-5) as
> v :: V Float Bool
> v = 3 .*return False .- 5 .*return True
Dual to vectors we have covectors. You can think of these as linear functions that consume vectors and return reals. We can define a basis of covectors fi with the property that fi(ej) is 1 for i=j and 0 otherwise. In our Haskell code it'll be more convenient to think of covectors as mapping vectors to the one-dimensional vector space whose basis element is labelled by (). When we make a vector using an expression like return True, that True is a constructor for the type Bool. We expect to use the dual operation for covectors, and that dual is case analysis. So, for example, we can write w = fFalse+2*fTrue, wih components (1,2), as
> w :: Bool -> V Float ()
> w i = case i of
> False -> return ()
> True -> 2 .* return ()
Applying w to v gives the expression viwi using the summation convention. Using do-notation it looks like
> vw :: V Float ()
> vw = reduce $ do
> i <- v
> w i
The point to note is that just like with the summation convention, we don't need to explicitly sum over i. i serves as a kind of iterator object and a vector v automatically supplies i with values in the appropriate range. w then consumes i. So we can translate the summation convention to do-notation by thinking of upper indices corresponding to places that iterators can emerge from, and thinking of lower indices as places where iterators can be consumed.
Another example is matrix representing a transformation of a vector to a vector. It must consume one iterator and emit another one. In the Einstein summation convention such a transformation might be written ri=Mijvj. We could write a simple 2D 2x scale and 90 degree rotation matrix as
> m :: Bool -> V Float Bool
> m j = case j of
> False -> 2 .*return True
> True -> -2 .*return False
We can then write the transformation as
> r = do
> j <- v
> i <- m j
> return i
Another simple example is an inner product. We can represent the ordinary dot product as a matrix dij and write the square length of v as v . v = dijvivj. We can implement this as
> v2 = do
> i <- v
> j <- v
> d (i,j)
where we define
> d (i,j) = case (i,j) of
> (False,False) -> return ()
> (True,True) -> return ()
> otherwise -> mzero
Similarly, tuples of superscripts correspond to iterators that are tuples of indices.
With that in place, we're now in a position to consider what monadic notation for knots means in the vector-space-over Bool monad. Essentially what we're doing is representing 'components' of a tangle or knot, the cups, caps and crossings, as tensors. When we glue these components with labels we're forming sums. In fact, each labelled edge connecting two components corresponds to an index and so we can think of it as possibly taking two different values, False or True. So the monadic expression corresponds to a sum over all possible ways to assign values from Bool to the indices with a corresponding weight for each term. This should be familiar to some people, it's just like what takes place in statistical thermodynamics. We consider a bunch of particles and form a sum over all of the possible states that those particles could have, with a corresponding weight for each configuration of states. A good example is the Ising model in which electrons sit at the vertices of a regular lattice. Two neighbouring electrons in a ferromagnet tend to want to align the same way, so confgurations in which neighbouring electrons have the same spin will get assigned a higher weight.
In our tangle problem, the trick is to find a magic set of weights with the property that two different summations representing isotopic knots or tangles give the same result. This turns out to be too hard, but we relax it a bit we will be led to one of the most fruitful new approaches in knot theory in recent years - the Jones Polynomial. Vaughan Jones was investigating certain types of model from statistical mechanics and came to realise that some of the equations that were arising were the same ones needed to get suitable weights for knot theory. From this realisation emerged his eponymous polynomial. But, that's all I'll be saying about this polynomial in this post.
Anyway, to make things clearer here's an example:
We interpret cap, cup, over and under as the tensors Mij, Nij, Sijkl and Tijkl. In monadic notation we get
> example (i,j) = do
> (k,l) <- over (i,j)
> (m,n) <- cap
> cup (l,m)
> return (k,n)
With the summation convention in mind this evaluates to:
and without it we see that all we're doing is computing
We can try an elementary choice for our tensors above. We can define M and N to be given by identity matrices:
> cap :: V Float (Bool,Bool)
> cap = return (False,False) .+ return (True,True)
> cup :: (Bool,Bool) -> V Float ()
> cup (i,j) = case (i,j) of
> (False,False) -> return ()
> (True,True) -> return ()
> otherwise -> mzero
We can then choose S and T to simply swap their arguments:
> over,under :: (Bool,Bool) -> V Float (Bool,Bool)
> over (i,j) = return (j,i)
> under (i,j) = return (j,i)
With these choices, the weighting is such that a non-zero weight is assigned to a knot or tangle if and only if all of the labels along a single strand are assigned the same value, in other words we're now summing over ways of assigning labels to entire strands. For rational tangles we can only end up with three possible values corresponding to the three ways the two outputs can be connected to the two inputs. (Straight through, the tangle I called ∞; straight through with a swap, the tangle called -1; and connecting together both the inputs, and both the outputs, the tangle called 0.)
> tangleInfinity,tangleMinus1,tangleZero :: (Bool,Bool) -> V Float (Bool,Bool)
> tangleInfinity (i,j) = return (i,j)
> tangleMinus1 (i,j) = return (j,i)
> tangleZero (i,j) = do
> cup (i,j)
> cap
> test1 = quickCheck $ \x -> (example x == tangleInfinity x)
> test2 = quickCheck $ \x -> (example x == tangleMinus1 x)
> test3 = quickCheck $ \x -> (example x == tangleZero x)
Only test2 succeeds so we know example is a tangle that forms its outputs by swapping the inputs.
So even with this simple assignment we're able to extract some basic connectivity information from our monadic representation. With smarter choices we'll get more information, but that's enough for now. We now have the prerequisites and in the next installment we can start doing some proper knot theory.

Freshen up spring celebrations with these simple, sweet and vibrant lemon bars! Lemon bars are a classic American dessert composed of a shortbread crust topped with a simple, tangy lemon filling.
We've simplified the traditional recipe by using sweetened condensed milk. So once you make the crust, all you need to do is whisk together egg yolks, sweetened condensed milk, fresh lemon juice and lemon peel. It couldn't be easier!
Here's the recipe for Easy Lemon Bars:
Ingredients for 20 bars:
- Nonstick cooking spray
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar, plus more for garnish
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 large egg yolks
- 1 can (14 ounces) NESTLÉ LA LECHERA FAT FREE Sweetened Condensed Milk or NESTLÉ CARNATION Sweetened Condensed Milk
- 3/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 4 lemons)
- Grated peel from one lemon
PREHEAT oven to 350° F. Line 8-inch-square baking pan with foil, leaving a 2-inch overhang. Spray foil with nonstick cooking spray.
BEAT butter, powdered sugar and salt in large mixer bowl until light and fluffy. Gradually beat in flour on low speed just until combined (mixture will be crumbly). Press dough onto bottom of prepared pan.
BAKE for 15 to 20 minutes or until lightly golden.
WHISK together egg yolks, sweetened condensed milk, lemon juice and lemon peel until smooth. Pour over crust. Bake for an additional 25 to 30 minutes or until set. Cool completely in pan on wire rack.
REFRIGERATE for 2 hours or until firm. Using foil overhang, lift onto a work surface; cut into 20 bars. Dust with additional powdered sugar before serving. Squares will hold, covered, in refrigerator for up to 3 days.
A few tips:
If you make the bars in advance, don't dust with powdered sugar. Only do this right before serving.
To produce really clean slices, place the baking pan with lemon bars in the freezer for 10 to 15 minutes before cutting. Wipe the knife between cuts. If desired, trim away edges (I didn't trim all the edges on the photo above, but I did freeze them).
For serving, place bars in individual paper cupcake liners. This way guests can easily help themselves and you don't need to worry about dessert plates.
Happy spring!

Hello Everyone!! I have some very exciting news to announce both for my business, and personally, both equally exciting! This past Friday I launched my new business, Shannon Kaple Photographer. I'm focusing on being your family lifestyle photographer, and felt that I needed my name to be more personal, like myself. It's been in the workings for a while, and where I'll still be accepting weddings (which I still LOVE to do) I'm going to focus on photographing babies, kids and families, particularly in the Boulder, Front Range Colorado area.
Be sure to come on over, like me on FB follow me on twitter and update your RSS feed!
Secondly, as my family expands, so does our need for more space. With that said, we've all but totally remolded our home since moving here in 2007, and put it on the market last month. It must have been the perfect timing, because we received 3 offers in two days, the last one coming in above our asking price! God is so good. We'll be moving next month a little further North into Boulder County, and closer to our beloved friends, and church community. We couldn't be more excited about our new home, and can't wait to make our own.
Here are some images of our kitchen remodel. If your remember when I was pregnant with Audrey, and made this video, you can see just how ugly our kitchen used to be. I'll miss my orange kitchen!!

Man arrested in Iron River on assault, drug charges
146-mph chase suspect in court
By NIKKI YOUNK
Staff Writer
CRYSTAL FALLS – A Georgia man accused of leading authorities on a high-speed chase through two counties appeared in Iron County Trial Court on Monday for a preliminary examination.
Karl Friedrich-Johannes Dresch, 33, of Crawfordville, Ga. was bound over to the circuit court level, where he entered not guilty pleas to his charges.
He faces one felony count of fleeing and eluding-fourth degree, one misdemeanor count of operating while intoxicated, and one misdemeanor count of open intoxicants in a vehicle.
Since Dresch is listed as a habitual offender-second, he could spend up to three years in prison if convicted.
A pre-trial in the matter is scheduled for Aug. 5.
During the preliminary examination, details about the high-speed chase were revealed.
Deputy Abe Varoni of the Iron County Sheriff's Department testified that he was dispatched to the incident at about 8 p.m. on June 7.
Florence County officials had notified Iron County officials that a red sports car was traveling at high speeds from Florence to the Michigan-Wisconsin border via U.S. 2.
A Florence County deputy had previously attempted to stop the vehicle on County Road N for speeding, but it accelerated.
Varoni said that he waited at Airport Road in Mastodon Township until he saw the car pass by. He claimed that it was traveling in excess of 100 miles per hour.
According to Varoni, he followed the red car as it continued on U.S. 2 then turned onto County Road 424.
The car finally stopped at the Alpha village limit, where the driver, identified as Dresch, surrendered to authorities, said Varoni.
Dresch's attorney Geoffrey Lawrence questioned whether or not his client was aware that he was being chased.
Lawrence pointed out that Varoni testified that he did not see the pursuing Florence County squad car when he pulled out of Airport Road.
In addition, Lawrence noted that Varoni had said that he was about 300 yards away from Dresch's vehicle throughout the chase.
"There's a curve between Airport Road and 424, and curves and hills on 424 until it straightens out by Alpha," said Lawrence.
Iron County Prosecutor Melissa Powell argued that since Varoni was able to see Dresch's vehicle for much of the chase, Dresch probably saw Varoni's squad car.
Judge C. Joseph Schwedler agreed, and found that there was probable cause to bind Dresch over.
Dresch is also facing related felony charges in Florence County.
There, he is charged with one felony count of reckless endangerment-first degree, one felony count of flee or elude an officer, and 17 different traffic citations.
If convicted on those charges, Dresch could spend up to 16 years in prison.
In the criminal complaint from Florence County, a Florence deputy reported that Dresch's Pontiac Trans Am was traveling at speeds of 125 to 130 miles per hour while on U.S. 2 west of Florence.
The deputy also claimed that Dresch passed multiple vehicles while in no-passing zones, and nearly hit a motorcycle and a pickup truck.
While in Iron County and away from traffic, the Florence deputy clocked his own speed at 145 miles per hour. He said that even at that speed, he was not gaining any ground on Dresch's vehicle.
According to the complaint, once Dresch was in custody, he told deputies that he was "just out cruising" and did not know that they were pursuing him.
Deputies believed that Dresch was intoxicated at the time. They discovered several empty cans of beer and two partially-full bottles of liquor in the vehicle.

As an experiment, I rolled the dough out very thinly, and this didn't work as well as a slightly thicker dough. Also, I think 9 tsp. is too much oil (I could could taste the oil in the crust)--7 is probably closer to what is needed.Very, very tasty overall, though!
The ingredients list may surprise you.
