Complete Ivy League men's soccer release in pdf format
PRINCETON, N.J. -- On the second Saturday of Ivy men's soccer play, Cornell and Yale continued their winning ways to jump out to a tie for first in the League standings at 2-0-0. With last minute heroics, Brown and Penn came up with their first Ivy wins in Saturday's other League games.
Yale welcomed Dartmouth to New Haven, Conn., and used a first half Charlie Paris strike and a second half Charlie Neil insurance tally for a second Ivy win in as many weeks. Bobby Thalman made five saves to earn the shutout. Dartmouth, which dropped to 1-1-0 in Ivy play, did record a 2-0 non-conference win over Vermont on Tuesday. Lucky Mkosana's seventh goal of the season proved to be the game winner.
Cornell continued as one of the hottest teams in the nation with a 3-1 win at home over Harvard to remain undefeated in it's last nine games (6-0-3). Harvard took a 1-0 lead to the locker room at halftime thanks to an Obiajulu Agha goal. But Daniel Haber, Chase Aaronson and Conor Goepel scored three goals in the first 23 minutes of play after the break to lead the Big Red to the win.
Penn earned its first Ivy win of the season at Columbia, besting the Lions in a high-scoring game, 3-2. The Lions jumped out to an early 2-0 lead when Henning Sauerbier and Ronnie Shaban scored just over a minute apart at 6:13 and 7:15, respectively. But the Quakers kept their composure and Thomas Brandt scored a pair of goals before halftime to tie the game, 2-2. The teams entered the final minutes of play still knotted at 2-2. After a last minute defeat to Cornell last weekend, Penn's Christian Barreiro made sure the Quakers turned the tables and came out with a last second win by netting the game-wining goal versus the Lions at 89:16.
Brown also recorded its first Ivy win, doing so by downing Princeton, 3-2, in the Bears' third consecutive overtime game. Princeton's Matt Sanner broke a 1-1 tie early in the second half but then Brown's TJ Popolizio tied the game at 81:55 to ultimately send it to overtime. Just under two minutes into the first extra stanza, Popolizio netted his League-leading eighth goal of the season to secure the win for the Bears. In midweek, non-conference action Brown held ninth-ranked St. John's to a 0-0 tie, while Princeton thrashed Seton Hall, 7-3. The seven goals by the Tigers tied Yale for the most goals by an Ivy team in a game this season. David Dubow, Sanner and Antoine Hoppenot scored two goals apiece in the win over the Pirates.
Brown senior forward TJ Popolizio (Rexford, N.Y.) lead the Bears to a 1-0-1 week including a 0-0 tie at ninth-ranked St. John's and a 3-2 overtime win over visiting Ivy foe Princeton.
In the win over the Tigers, Popolizio scored the game-tying goal at the 81:55 mark, evening the score at 2-2. Popolizio then scored the golden goal just 1:23 into overtime to give the Bears their first Ivy League win of the year. For the dramatic game winner, senior midfielder Taylor Gorman sent a free kick toward the left side of the goal and Popolizio went up and knocked the ball into the bottom right corner to give the Bears the win. Popolizio now has four game-winning goals on the year and leads all Ivy League scorers with eight goals. It marks his second Ivy League Player of the Week honor in 2011, having also shared the award on Sept. 19.
Popolizio's Weekly Stats
2-2 GP-GS, 2G, 4 Pts., 3 Shots, 2 SOG, 1 GWG
Cornell freshman forward Conor Goepel (Chatham, N.J.) helped the Big Red continue on its current it's nine-game unbeaten streak, scoring the insurance tally versus Harvard on Saturday to move the Big Red, which has not lost since its season opening game, to 6-1-3 on the season.
Holding a 2-1 lead at the time, Goepel scored Cornell's third goal at 67:34 to help put the game away. Goepel and Tyler Regan sprinted in tandem through the center of the Crimson defense, and Regan found Goepel open inside the penalty area. Goepel finished the pass for his third goal of the year. It is the second time this season Goepel has earned Ivy League Rookie of the Week honors, having also done so on Sept. 19.

The Ivy games begin Saturday afternoon when the two top teams in the League standings meet as Yale welcomes Cornell to New Haven, Conn. Last season, Yale won 1-0 when the teams met in Ithaca, N.Y. Current Bulldog goalkeeper Bobby Thalman made two saves to earn that shutout victory.
On Saturday night, Brown plays at Harvard and Columbia plays at Princeton. Harvard and Princeton will each be looking for their first Ivy wins of the season, while Brown and Columbia will be trying to keep pace near the top of the Ivy standings.
Also on Saturday night, Dartmouth travels to Penn with both teams entering the game at 2-1-0 in Ivy play. Last season when the teams met in Hanover, N.H., Penn's Thomas Brandt, now a senior on the Quaker roster, scored just 3:43 into the contest to help Penn to a 1-0 win.

If you are looking for a Miniature Bulldog puppy with traceable blood lines, healthy parents
and a sweet, loving temperament, then look no further than Glorious Kennel.
(Click on a picture, then use the arrow keys or mouse roller ball to scroll through the pictures)
The Miniature Bulldog looks like a small version of the English Bulldog with the desirous wrinkled face and ears that hang down. The Miniature Bulldog breed was introduced in 1999. There are several different ways breeders have achieved the smaller sized dog. Some have cross bred the full size English Bulldog with a smaller breed such as a French Bulldog, Pug or Boston Terrier. Using these small breeds contributed to the small size and health of the new breed, but the classic face with wrinkles like that of the English Bulldog started to disappear. So after several generations of this cross breeding, breeders are once again breeding a Miniature Bulldog with the original English Bulldog to bring back the classic look. Others are trying to breed the smallest dogs of "full size" English Bulldogs in order to produce a smaller size, but that doesn't help with the health problems the English Bulldogs have. And generally speaking, you don't use the smallest runts of one breed to start another smaller breed.
At Glorious Kennel, we concentrate on producing a true Miniature Bulldog with the classic bulldog look. Our goal is to not only have small and cute bulldogs, but to develop a more active and healthier breed than the founding English Bulldog.

I need help getting my laptop to attach to my TV in such a way that I will have my computer screen displayed on the TV and at the same time have my laptop screen off.
I can easily extend my desktop to the TV, but that is not what I need.
I have tried turning the pc off and leaving the tv on, then restarting the pc, and actually one time randomly it worked, but not since then could I do it again.
I have a Dell Inspiron 8500, with Windows Vista.
My graphics card is ATI radeon mobility 9000.
I have an s-video cord that has the s-video thing on one end and there are A/V ports on the other end.
My tv is older so it does not have s-video, so i just have it hooked into the A/V slot.
Any ideas?

Raising black performance
Highlighting the issues facing one particular group of school children is always a tricky matter.
It is sensitive enough if you are highlighting gender or class. But when you start to talk about the particular needs of one ethnic group you are tiptoeing into a minefield.
Yet this is exactly what Saturday's conference on "London Schools and the Black Child" is doing.
Its organiser, the Labour MP Diane Abbott, says she has had to fight hard to get government, schools and parents to recognise that children of African and African-Caribbean descent have particular needs which are not being met by the school system.
The biggest obstacle is what is known as the "colour blind" approach. This, like political correctness, is rooted in the best of intentions, namely to counter conscious or unconscious prejudice.
But perhaps we have now got to the point where a simple "colour blind" policy is not only not helping those it is meant to protect, but may be putting them at a disadvantage.
But by the start of secondary school they are starting to fall behind and statistics show that black African-Caribbean pupils are between three and six times more likely to be expelled from school.
Although there is an absence of detailed statistics, GCSE results also show that African-Caribbean pupils do less well than other ethnic groups in formal examinations.
Government statistics on the proportion of students getting five good GCSEs or their equivalent show the pattern.
Breakdown of statistics
For white students the figure in 2000 was 50%, for Asian students it was 49% but for black students it was 37%.
Where it is possible to do so, a further breakdown of these figures produces interesting patterns.
Clearly social class, poverty and whether or not children speak English in the home is a factor in educational achievement.
Bangladeshi immigration to Britain, for example, is mostly more recent than immigration from India.
But the Caribbean community in Britain is fairly well settled and fluency in English is not an issue. So it is reasonable to ask why they are lagging behind in exam results at the end of schooling.
Of course, these are broad generalisations. The official definitions of ethnic group do not always match the way communities define themselves and they hide important distinctions.
There are problems with using, interchangeably, descriptions such as: Black, Black-African, Black-Caribbean, African-Caribbean, Black British or West Indian.
'Black umbrella'
But such sensitivities, while they must be observed, should not mean - according to Diane Abbott - that we simply lump all ethnic minority students under the umbrella term Black.
It is not just that there are differences between Asian and African-Caribbean students. There are also important distinctions between pupils of Black African background and those of Black Caribbean origin.
The evidence is pretty thin (and this highlights the failure of the education authorities to collect statistics based on ethnic-origin), but an Ofsted report in 1996 did suggest that "pupils of Black African background often achieve relatively higher results than their peers of Black Caribbean origin".
So we have a very complex picture of differing achievements within ethnic groups. No doubt these reflect cultural as well as class and language factors.
All this suggests to me that, however well-intentioned "colour-blind" policies are, they are not very helpful in finding solutions.
However, as soon as you identify one group as having particular problems you run into criticism.
When I wrote about the issues facing African-Caribbean boys this week, I was told I was contributing to the problem by focussing on the negative image of Caribbean students.
Such complaints are made with genuine feeling and I understand why they are made.
Stereotypical images of certain groups amount to racism. What is more, they appear to throw a blanket over entire communities which, of course, contain a variety of different personal achievements.
But if, as Diane Abbott believes, the first step in doing something about the average under-achievement of African-Caribbean pupils is to openly recognise the problem, then I don't see any alternative to running the risk of political-incorrectness or of appearing to focus on negatives.
This is a sensitive area. It is, perhaps, particularly difficult for white commentators and educators to enter into. But what is the alternative? To ignore it and focus on other issues?
The government is sending a minister to Diane Abbott's conference. It will be interesting to see whether that minister is willing to accept that the issue of African-Caribbean achievement needs a separate strategy than that for other ethnic groups.

How Will Toronto Pay for a $4 Billion Subway?
Ford killed Toronto's previous Transit City plan and replaced it with a subway, but there is no budget for it. Ford insists that the private sector will finance it and the city will own and operate it, but many fear that Toronto's taxpayers will be on the hook instead. Marcus Gee of the Globe and Mail writes,
"Under the transit plan announced by Mr. Ford and Premier Dalton McGuinty, the provincial government will spend virtually all of the $8.4-billion dedicated to the now-defunct Transit City plan on a new midtown light-rail line. Much of it will travel underground, at Mr. Ford's insistence, adding enormously to its expense.
That leaves no money for rapid transit on the busy Finch Avenue corridor, which was supposed to get a light-rail line under Transit City but will now have to make do with buses for at least a decade. More important, it leaves the city of Toronto on its own to pay for Mr. Ford's favoured project: a $4-billion extension of the Sheppard Avenue subway."

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
my idenitiy was stolen and I waiting for police report one I get this I would like to sue to get the judgement lifted and as well as have my money returned. It is old debt
A Claim of Exemption has nothing to do with Identity Theft. If the judgment was entered against you, you cannot vacate the judgment by filing a Claim of Exemption. You must file a motion to vacate the judgment or a motion to quash service.
You have a statutory right to sue a debt collector if there has been ID theft. However, there are a number of things that you must do first. You will need the assistance of an attorney.
Do not waste time or make a mistake which could compromise your legal rights. consult an attorney today.Ask a similar question
A claim of exemption only addresses the issue of whether you can exempt assets seized in a levy or garnishment from being used to satisfy a judgment.
Identify theft issues go to the merits of the judgment. That would have to be addressed if you were able to set aside the judgment.
You need to sit down with a lawyer experienced in these issues right away.Ask a similar question
The other two attorneys had given you excellent advise. You have a more complex matter, and need to vacate the judgment against you. Typically, they are called Motion 60 (B) judgment in many locations i.e. Motion to Vacate Judgment. You can mention inadvertence, official reliance, fraud and many other matters, and again within 6 months to get it vacated. You should definitely see an attorney in this regard.
Only see a licensed attorney before you make any decision. This answer may not be perfect in any given situation. However, more fact may be required by your local attorney. If you are in Las Vegas, you are welcome to send your questions regarding Chapter 7, or 13 to Attorney Malik Ahmad at email@example.com or www.fastbankruptcynevada.com or by calling (702) 270-9100.

STAFF in the Kitchen at Lynhales Hall Nursing Home are celebrating after receiving a five star rating from Herefordshire Council's environmental health department for their food hygiene standards.
And that's not the only reason for the happy faces, as the team are enjoying life in their newly refurbished kitchen.
When staff found themselves working in puddles of water, with conditions worsening by the day, it took a team of investigators several weeks to uncover the source of the problem. A serious water leak underground had gone undetected until the water eventually found its way into the kitchen and storage areas. A full scale repair of the problem and putting right all the damage done by the water took over three months to complete. The kitchen was moved to a temporary home - staff had to work out of a mobile kitchen in the car park – no mean feat when you are preparing three full meals, drinks and snacks for 73 residents every day!
The Lynhales' kitchen has consistently achieved the highest rating of five since the standards were first introduced and are particularly pleased to have maintained their score this year. Bev Eagles, one of the chefs at Lynhales, said, "We couldn't be happier to have held onto our score. We've had quite a tough few months working in very difficult conditions and it feels like we've had a pat on the back for all our hard work."
Meg Fallon, Manager at Lynhales said, "I'm very proud of how the staff coped under difficult circumstances. They managed to stay positive, deliver all our meals on time and to their usual standard, with no compromise to the menu. I really don't know how they did it!"

Unsatisfied Edit
Halfway through I must have ran out of steam. I think I ended up overcomplicating it, and now it's purpose is getting lost, so trolling for help. Give it a read and see if you get what I was going for (druidic casting on a non-druid, I dropped wildshape, but I did want some pre-made gish potential ala cleric, in that they can still use their medium BAB and all the good druid buffs to wade into combat.) A secondary divination theme, with the idea that they are "monks trained to listen to the planet" rather than worshipers of the planet. Aid me! -- Eiji Hyrule 01:01, July 6, 2010 (UTC)

RepairPal is your advocate for car care advice and guidance
Q: Transmission Flush on 2005 Saturn Ion
IS it true that only the dealer can do a Trans flush on a Saturn Ion? I have gotten conflicting info so I want to be sure.
Any shop with the proper equipment should be able to flush the transmission in your 2005 Saturn Ion. Shops without the proper knowledge or equipment may simply drain and refill the transmission, not perform a complete "flush". I would suggest asking whoever services your transmission not to use any "flush" chemicals or cleaners. These cleaners can remove to much built up varnish in the transmission valve body which can lead to shifting problems. I would recommend the following service on the transmission of your Ion. Depending on the condition of the fluid. If the fluid is "OK" removing the trans pan, replacing the filer, and refilling the fluid should be all that is necessary, any good repair shop should be able to perform this service. If your fluid is very brown or smells burnt then in addition to the above service I would add a transmission fluid exchange. Special equipment and knowledge is necessary to perform the fluid exchange. You will need to check with your local repair shop the see if they can perform the fluid exchange. Removing the transmission pan does not drain all of the fluid from the transmission, that is the reason for performing the fluid exchange procedure after replacing the filter if the condition of the fluid warrants it.

Valles Caldera National Perserve in the Jemez Mountains has partially opened trails to cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. Coyote Trail, located on the southern rim of the caldera is the only trail open at the time due to lack of snow fall.
The Turquoise Trail is more than a scenic drive between Santa Fe and Albuquerque. Here, a sampling of the Turquoise Trail's treasures. Cerrillos. The Casa Grande Trading Post, Cerrillos Turquoise Mining Museum & Petting Zoo opened in 1979. As the name suggests, Casa Grande has several personas. The five-room trading post and museum attach to a 23-room home, built with 65,000 adobe bricks that owners Todd and Patricia Brown made themselves. The trading post fireplace is built with rock bearing veins of Cerrillos turquoise. Remnants of the miner's lives are on display at The Old Coal Mine Museum and The Mine Shaft Tavern, which occupy the coal company's headquarters. Visitors can climb into a 1900 Richmond Steam Engine for a close up view of the boiler. Artifacts include antique trucks and fire equipment. A dentist
chair and one of the earliest x-ray machines suggest the modernity of the company hospital and heavy pickaxes attest to the strength of the miners. The museum and tavern served as sets for Beer for My Horses and Paul. Set pieces from the Wild Hogs chile festival scene are a recent addition to the museum. Outdoor activities at the south end of the trail include 30 miles of trails on Sandia Peak and golf at Paa-Ko Ridge Golf Club.

"I saw him when he was 10 and I said that was the best player I've ever seen in my life," Lavie said. "He wasn't dominating the game but the skill – the eyes in the back of the head – it was just extraterrestrial. I've seen some stuff since he's been here that isn't human."
Lavie says that now schools came into the gym during the fall open period, not to offer scholarships, but to bee seen. "They're here but they don't need to see him play. They're here to show their face and get in the mix."
And show their face they have. Here's a list of most of the schools that have been in to see Augustin since early September: Wake Forest, Duke, Michigan, Oklahoma, LSU, Georgetown, North Carolina, Mississippi, LSU, Texas and UCLA.
Augustin isn't about to do anything quick with his recruitment. According to his coach, he'll take his time so don't expect much new to come from his camp during the season. "I think he's looking at it real good," Lavie said. "He's deferring his decision until after our season is done. He said he's going to work on his game and his grades and just do the best he can to improve himself."
In Louisiana, there is a long tradition of the best players in the state going to LSU. From Stromile Swift to Brandon Bass and Glen Davis, the Bengal Tigers have missed few – see Chris Duhon – within their borders. Could D.J. be next?
Lavie says Augustin has always done his own thing. "He's a little different. He went to Brother Martin when we weren't winning any games. St. Aug's was down the street, they produced NBA guys. That's the type of person he is. He does his own thing."

A store in France caught cooking caterpillar stew has been shut down by health inspectors.
The Aubervilliers establishment outside Paris underwent a routine check on Tuesday (February 26), but inspectors were surprised to find a pot of caterpillars boiling on a stove.
Local police soon closed the store for violating hygiene regulations.
As well as the caterpillars, the owner was also forced to dispose of a large quantity of meat after he could not prove the origin of the food.
"Three hundred pounds of meat was thrown out," a health inspector said, according to The Local.
In parts of Africa, caterpillars are said to be a popular dish.
Recently, a 22-year-old man was caught carrying thousands of caterpillars in his luggage at Gatwick airport.

O'Brien noted that TBS has been "fantastic partners," and that he's excited to continue taping shows for the network. The Hollywood Reporter notes that in 2012, "Conan" averages 1.1 million viewers; viewership has grown significantly in adults aged 18 to 49 since October 2011.

If a culture has to be grown, then you have to bide your time while cell division takes its course.
Chromatophores, two, lying on the girdle side, in cell division each forming a partially divided pair.
This process of cell division is known as karyokinesis or aryomitosis.
This knowledge appears chiefly under two heads, viz., cell division and the fertilization of the egg.
Fertilization, cell division, and differentiation emphasized.
These structures regulate the cell division, and hence the reproduction of all animals and plants.
The original function of reproduction, that of cell division, is the part of the female.
The most important, if the last, is the cell division and the accompanying growth that provide material for the eye.
The first indication of the cell division is shown by the chromatin fibres.
The particular kind of cell division termed "budding" here deserves mention.
cell division n.
The process by which a cell divides to form two daughter cells, each of which contains the same genetic material as the original cell and roughly half of its cytoplasm.
|cell division
The process by which a cell divides into two or more cells. Among prokaryotes, cell division occurs by simple fission. Among eukaryotes, the cell nucleus divides first, and then a new cell membrane is formed between the nuclei to form the new cell. Cell division is used as a means of reproduction in organisms that reproduce asexually, as by fission or spore formation, and sexually reproducing organisms form gametes through cell division. Cell division is also the source of tissue growth and repair in multicellular organisms. The two types of cell division in eukaryotic organisms are mitosis and meiosis.

Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL[1]) — This company's growth has been spectacular with earnings increases of over 80% each of the past five years. The stock has also had a spectacular run this year, up over 60%.
Much of the stock's move is based on new product development. The iPhone 5 is expected to be announced today, along with refreshes to its line of iPod digital music players. These announcements likely led to the stock's recent pop from just over $600 to new highs above $680.
Technically AAPL had two strong reversal days (down) in the past 10 days, setting it up for a short-term pullback to its 50-day moving average at $629.
Traders (only) may want to short AAPL on an advance resulting from product announcements with a target of $630. Please check with your broker for any restrictions on short sales and ask about options strategies that would profit from such a correction.
Investors who hold Apple may want to consider writing AAPL Nov 660 Calls at $36.90, which would protect your position to below our trading target, but there is the risk that the stock could be called away from you if it is trading above $660 on the third Friday of November.

Building Million-Dollar Mansions, On Spec
By MARK McCAIN
Published: February 5, 1989
IN a nostalgic embrace of the excesses that helped shape the Roaring Twenties, builders today are erecting multimillion-dollar mansions on speculation, targeting buyers who want to step into opulent new surroundings without the bother of collaborating with architects and designers.
Despite a general sluggishness in the suburban New York housing market, many of these vast homes are selling almost as soon as they are completed. The marketing strategy is to evoke everyman's dream of modern mansion life: formal grandeur on the outside, modern luxury on the inside, and abundant details, from heated marble floors to ornate crown moldings. Mansions that languish on the market usually lack those features.
''These people are not buying shelter; they're buying life style and ambiance, fantasy and illusion,'' said Kenneth Nadler of Nadler Philopena & Associates, an architecture firm in Mount Kisco, N.Y., that designed 20 speculative mansions last year, most of them in Westchester and Fairfield County.
''We try to create a sense of approaching Tara,'' said Mr. Nadler, drawing from ''Gone with the Wind'' to explain how fantasy and illusion begin at the driveway. ''When you arrive at the front door, it should feel like you're touching something special, and that a whole wonderful world is in front of you.''
But where some people see Tara, others see ostentation. Critics say that the new mansions are often wedged onto small lots and that much of the architecture is a clumsy mixture of old and new - a Palladian window here, a turret there, and a soaring arch for good measure.
''It's an area of design that is pretty banal these days,'' said Herbert Oppenheimer, a Manhattan architect and an observer of housing trends. ''You would think that anyone with several million dollars to spend on a new house would want a work of art related to themselves. But instead they're buying houses put up by speculative builders.'' A decade ago, new mansions were few in number and almost always custom built. But after speculative builders realized they could move beyond 2,000-square-foot colonials and split-levels, baronial homes of 6,000 to 12,000 square feet became one of their profitable market niches.
''It's a phenomenon of the second half of this decade,'' said Gopal Ahluwalia, research director of the National Association of Home Builders in Washington. ''We're seeing many more large homes - with every amenity in the world - being built today. Yet the demographic trends show that family size has been declining for the past 25 years.''
In part, tax supports have encouraged the new residential splendor. Numerous loopholes and tax shelters favored by wealthy people died with the Tax Reform Act of 1986. But interest payments on home mortgages of up to $1.1 million are still tax deductible.
''If someone can spend several million dollars for a house, that's great for them, but I'm troubled by the deep Federal subsidy that they enjoy because of the mortgage deductibility,'' said Robert Hayes of the Coalition for the Homeless, a Manhattan organization. ''Most Congressional estimates last year pegged that subsidy at over $40 billion. Contrast that with $7.5 billion in Federal low-income housing assistance and perhaps three million homeless in America.''
''The wealthier you are,'' Mr. Hayes said, ''the deeper the mortgage subsidy.''
IN years past, almost no one built a mansion unless it could be tucked into a secluded estate setting. No longer. Land outside major cities has become so expensive that sites rarely exceed four acres. And some builders put up mansions on lots as small as half an acre.
''There's one mansion we did,'' said Mr. Nadler, ''that when you turn on the lights, you almost light up the neighbor's house. Obviously, that's a little absurd.'' But like Rolex watches, Sub-Zero refrigerators and other premium-priced products, the chockablock mansions are selling well. In Greenwich, Conn., a town embroiled in a debate over whether limits should be placed on the size of new mansions, 41 houses sold for more than $2 million apiece last year, nearly double the volume of 1987. Three miles west, in Purchase, N.Y., a developer is seeking to build more than 100 million-dollar houses in a single subdivision. In New Canaan, Conn., Seagate Development Corporation is one of several developers erecting speculative houses priced around $2 million.
And on Long Island, John Kean, a 31-year-old builder, rarely has fewer than a dozen speculative mansions under construction within a short drive of his office in Cold Spring Harbor.
''We're selling very expensive houses at a time when people say houses aren't selling,'' said Mr. Kean as he inspected a $2.5 million house in Laurel Hollow where his workmen were beginning interior finish work. ''I think that as long as you build a product that reeks of quality - and a product that cannot be duplicated someplace else - it will sell.''
Although Mr. Kean lives in a converted carriage house of modest size, he thinks big when he plans houses for his yet-unseen buyers. ''It amazes me every time I look at what we're building,'' he said. ''I'd say you can get everything you need into a house of 6,000 square feet, but we'll always have clients who will want 8,000 or 10,000 square feet.''

Once a mispronounced hippie food, hummus is now so mainstream that there are several competing brands in the dairy aisle. It's so ubiquitous that even babies and grandmas love the stuff. But for good reason. It's vegetarian but not weird, so even carnivores love it. (In fact, you can spread it on meat; if you don't believe me, smear some on your next grilled chicken sandwich.) It's packed with protein and healthy fats so you don't have to feel guilty about eating a bunch of it at a party, the way you would with, say, spinach-artichoke dip. And hummus is really versatile; it's a dip for crudites and pita, a sandwich spread, you can use it to make not-so-dry turkey burgers, add a dollop to grilled portobello mushrooms or use it as a salad dressing, thinned with some fresh lemon juice. When you need a break from traditional hummus, start adding extra stuff in, like sun-dried tomatoes, artichoke hearts or chopped dill. And you don't even have to stick to chickpeas when you're making hummus — try white bean hummus, black bean hummus or Ellie Krieger's Edamame Hummus.
No matter how many brands show up at the grocery store, homemade always tastes best to me. If you've never made it before, don't be scared. All it takes is 10 minutes and a food processor — you basically throw everything in, press a button and wait, with a pita in hand, for it to be done.

Moscow (UPI) Nov 6, 2012
Google and YouTube will receive updates regarding Internet sites and content banned within Russia, the country's communications oversight agency said.
An agency release said Google Inc. and YouTube LLC had formally agreed "to receive information from the register regarding content banned in Russia," RIA Novosti reported.
The zapret-info.gov.ru agency site launched a register of "blacklisted" websites last week.
Members of the public can submit screenshots and URLs of sites they consider to be offensive to the agency, which will then consider the complaints, officials said.
In the first 24 hours after its launch the site logged over 5,000 complaints regarding offensive content, 96 percent of which were rejected after consideration, RIA Novosti said.

text: HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) ¿ Navistar International Corp.'s protest over a contract evaluation process suggests that it is unlikely the company will win a $3 billion military pact, an analyst said Friday as he downgraded the stock. Navistar Defense LLC, a part of Navistar International Corp. of Warrenville, Ill., said Thursday it is "in discussions" with the government over a technicality in the evaluation of the Mine Resistant Ambush Protected All Terrain Vehicle program. The company was not specific about the issues being discussed. Analyst Jerry Revich of Goldman Sachs downgraded the Warrenville, Ill., company to "Neutral" from "Buy" and cut his profit estimate for this year to $2.40 per share from $4.50 per share. For 2010, Revich slashed his estimate to $2.25 per share from $6.60 per share and for 2011, he cut his estimate to $5.25 per share from $7.60. Revich said in a note to investors that Navistar's protest suggests it is unlikely to win the contract because of the "urgent nature" of the program. It will more likely win a share of the work, he said. "We believe that Navistar offers the US military a compelling value proposition driven by its strong manufacturing capability and low cost structure, although the M-ATV dispute suggests its engineering performance on this contract didn't meet the military's expectations," Revich said.

Muni Abuses Weigh Down States, Cities
Speaking to the Wall Street Journal last week, the comptroller of Harrisburg, Pa., sounded downright glum as he explained his city's diminishing prospects of meeting a big upcoming bond payment. Harrisburg has just $1.2 million cash on hand and faces payroll costs alone of about $3 million a month. Even worse, it has about $17 million in debt payments coming due, a result of a series of "dizzying debt deals" according to a local newspaper. "We can't raise taxes; they're already very high," the comptroller explained. "If we did, people would just leave."
At least Harrisburg can take comfort in that it is not alone. A decade of exuberant, oftentimes unnecessary and occasionally barely legal borrowing by states and municipalities on top of rising employee costs have prompted increasing talk of a wave of defaults on municipal debt unlike anything since the Great Depression. So heated has the talk become, in fact, that the California legislature is considering a bill that would make it harder for its municipalities to declare bankruptcy because of worries that many will want to do just that (this is the same legislature whose own state government had to issue IOUs last year to pay its bills).
Increasingly, public officials have blamed their debt woes on the sharp drop in tax revenues from the recession, and so a clamor for bailouts has been growing. But as the debt crisis intensifies we should look more closely at its causes. Although in theory a market where governments can issue tax-free debt to fund long-term projects seems like a good idea, in practice the municipal bond market is increasingly abused by politicians who use the debt to finance ill-advised projects that taxpayers don't want, or employ borrowing to evade tax and spending limitations in state constitutions or local laws, or who simply see debt as the source as another pot of money for political patronage.
The long-term trends are stark. In the last 15 years, total state and local debt outstanding increased to about $2 trillion, a gain of about 125 percent, or nearly twice the rate of inflation plus population growth. This debt has also grown faster than the nation's personal income.
Much of the gain was driven by recent debt-binging. In this decade governments floated an average of $376 billion of new debt every year, compared to just $180 billion annually in the previous period. Issuing so much new debt is especially a big problem if you are not paying off your old debts. On average since 1990, in fact, state and local governments have been issuing about 50 percent more debt every year than they are retiring.
Governments have used municipal bonds in the U.S. since at least the early 1800s, often to finance construction of roads, canals, railroads and other important infrastructure as the country grew. In 1913 the new federal income tax ensured that most of these offerings would be tax-free to local residents, which is what makes them a deal for governments, who can pay interest rates below what private issuers are paying and still attract investors.
But over time governments have shifted more and more of their borrowing away from long-term infrastructure projects and toward other, "special" uses that have done little to provide essential services or secure an area's economic viability. Over the course of this decade, for instance, governments have floated just $24 billion a year on average for transportation projects and $14 billion a year for utilities investments, but $70 billion a year on "other" types of bonds, a catch-all class that includes various sorts of abuses.
Take New York State, for instance. Every year state legislators divvy up hundreds of millions of dollars that they dish out in earmarks from money raised through bond offerings, which the Institute for Competitive State Government calls "capital pork." Once upon a time this pork was financed with cash out of the budget, which is bad enough. But for more than a decade the state has simply floated bonds and hidden where the cash has gone until the Manhattan Institute filed a Freedom of Information Act which forced the state to disclose its grant recipients, including local little leagues, senior citizen centers, and community nonprofits. Grantees also included the Brunswick Sportsman's Club, a private club associated with one legislator, and a Western New York organization known as Christian Airmen organized to "evangelize in the aviation community." Not surprisingly, New York is the nation's second most indebted state.
Muni bonds have helped build a generation of government-funded projects that the marketplace would never risk investing in on its own because these projects are so ill-advised and uncompetitive. One good example: starting in the early 1990s local governments went on a convention center building spree, using bonds to help construct meeting facilities that the private sector wouldn't build. The result is about 40 percent more convention space than the country needs, empty facilities that are running in the red and deeply discounted hotel rooms. Meanwhile, taxpayers are stuck with the bill.
Perhaps most disgracefully, more and more of the muni debt that's piling up is not approved by voters but issued by politicians who find ways to circumvent laws that require taxpayers to sanction new debt. To evade these requirements, states and cities have formed independent authorities and other mechanisms that courts somehow judge to be free from debt restrictions.
And so, for instance, when New Jersey wanted to raise money for a gigantic $8 billion school building program that seemed loaded with unnecessary spending, the state simply formed a construction authority and authorized it to raise the money without consulting voters. In just a few years the new authority burned through all of its money while completing just half the work, a remarkable amount of waste even in a state as corrupt as New Jersey. And although voters didn't get to approve, they got stuck with the bill.
Still, even these authorities that float debt without voter approval aren't the biggest outrage. As states and cities have increasingly shirked their growing pension obligations in recent years, they have been issuing something called "pension obligation bonds" to fund their rich employee benefits. These POBs are potentially toxic because they are a risky form of arbitrage in which government raises money from a bond offering, invests it in the stock market and then bets that stocks will provide a higher return than the interest rate that government is paying to bondholders. But if the market tanks, as it has for most of this decade, an underfunded pension system's liabilities could go from bad to worse. A mistimed POB in the late 1990s in New Jersey, for instance, has plagued the state's budget for years. Illinois, meanwhile, has placed some big bets with POBs in an attempt to bolster its pension system.
Looking out over this rubble, the muni environment increasingly resembles the savings and loan industry during the worst years of the 1980s in one important way: It's a market served by sophisticated Wall Street advisors counseling unsophisticated politicians who often have a big stake in believing this debt is all safe and affordable, and who know that even if it isn't, someone else will pay the price for failure, namely the taxpayer.
When New York City defaulted on its debt in the mid-1970s the subsequent rescue by the state and federal governments came with a series of fiscal constraints that ended the city's most egregious borrowing practices. Will the bailouts and workouts that accompany a new round of defaults also come with conditions and restrictions that bring some common sense back to the current municipal market?

ST. PETERSBURG, FL /PRNewswire/ - Dunkin' Donuts, America's all-day, everyday stop for coffee and baked goods, recently celebrated the grand opening of its first "green" store.
The St. Petersburg, Florida restaurant is Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED®) certified and includes other green initiatives such as innovative recycling programs like worm casting and food donations to the local food bank.
Dunkin' Donuts president and chief brand officer Will Kussell recently joined St. Petersburg Mayor Rick Baker, representatives from the United States Green Building Council (USGBC), and the St. Petersburg Chamber of Commerce to celebrate the store opening by planting a tree on-site.
"At Dunkin' Donuts we are committed to growing our business in a way that is both achievable and sustainable for our company, our franchisees, the communities we proudly serve, and the environment," says Kussell. "With the opening of our first LEED- certified store in St. Petersburg, we look forward not only to playing an important role in the daily lives of the people who live and work here, but also applying what we learn in this store to Dunkin' Donuts overall, as we continue to evolve the brand."
LEED certification is widely recognized as the standard for green construction in the United States. The LEED Rating System sets forth specific criteria that constitute a green building and LEED certification provides third-party verification that the criteria have been met. The USGBC created the LEED Green Building Rating System, a voluntary point-based rating system used to certify buildings as green.
The St. Petersburg LEED-certified store is a first for Dunkin' Donuts, which broke ground in May 2008, and will serve as a prototype for future green construction projects as well as enhance future building models. The St. Petersburg restaurant is built in the Dunkin' Donuts flagship model design and features numerous LEED enhancements, including: energy-efficient insulated concrete foam walls to reduce air conditioning usage by approximately 40 percent; energy-efficient lighting, including motion sensors for restrooms and offices; water-efficient plumbing fixtures; low-flush toilets; and the usage of well water rather than potable water for all irrigation.
In addition to these significant LEED enhancements, customers will notice other green features at the St. Petersburg location, including:
"We are proud to have Dunkin' Donuts' first ever LEED-certified store in St. Petersburg," states Mayor Baker. "We have the first city in Florida to be designated a Green City, and I salute Dunkin' Donuts for embracing our efforts to create a sustainable future for our families."
The opening of the first LEED store is part of Dunkin' Brands' ongoing and increasing commitment to its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) platform, which covers four main pillars: Philanthropic, Social, Economic, and Environmental-each pillar is associated with specific goals, including serving those who serve in our communities, embracing diversity and inclusion, sustainable development of products and materials, and volunteerism.

Bermuda; disability access
We will be in King's Wharf May 6th. I will be using a rented scooter and wondered if it was feasible to get around the area in that scooter.
Is the port close enough to a ferry dock to travel there from the Enchantment? I understand the buses are not scooter-friendly.
Are the roads and sidewalks scooter usable?
follow up
The scooter referred to above is a MOBILITY scooter, not a motorbike.
This link has some good information, although much of it is bureaucratic stuff regarding the Bermudan government rules.
Thanks Dave! Helpful, BUT.........
Whoa! I looked at that link, and it does not seem like a very friendly place for the disabled. I can still get around with a cane and multiple stops, but I was hoping to use my scooter to get off the dock and to do some traveling at least in King's Wharf. The document says that only licensed residents are permitted to use motorized scooters! I didn't find that in the postings of others on this and other sites, and wonder if it is enforced? Perhaps a recent visitor to Bermuda might be able to answer. This will be my first trip there, and maybe my last! It's also my first experience using a scooter! We been on around 15+ cruises, and always saw people using scooters on and off board in most places!
Other reports I've looked at today indicate you will be fine. The area around the pier is friendly to your kind of scooter and they are not looking for permits or licenses for users. The Bermudan government understands that cruise ship passengers are guests and you won't be hassled.
Thanks , Dave.
I guess we'll find out when we get there. I'll give it a try!
The area in and around Kings Wharf would be very easy to navigate in a scooter. It's not a terribly long walk to the ferry pier. I've seen folks with regular scooters/mopeds bring them right on the ferry. If you can walk onto the boat with your cane, I'm confident that they will assist you. The residents are very accommidating to the tourists.
Hamilton is a well developed city and also not too bad to get around. St. George's is a little more difficult, but not un-doable. Even if you just ride the ferry there and stay in the small area near the pier, it's a lovely boat ride with comanding vista of the island.
The combine ferry/bus passes are very reasonable. There is also a tram that runs around King's Wharf all day, so if you're feeling well enough, take the tram to the bus and you can ride all over the island and have a tour without leaving your seat.
I appreciate the great advice! I can generally get around with a cane as long as there places to stop and pause for a very short time. Are there a reasonable number of outdoor benches or other rest places at King's Wharf, Hamilton, and St. Georges to do that? If so, and the walk from the ship exit gangplank to the end of the pier is not extremely long, I would forgo my scooter and just walk. Sometimes, the longest walk without a place to sit for a moment is from the ship's exit to the end of the pier! That's one reason I am considering use of the scooter off the ship. Some piers have benches to sit, others do not. Thanks for your help!

Hello again!
Today's recipe is one of my absolute favorites. It is super easy, infinitely customizable, and full of flavor.
Mexican Chicken Soup
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 medium white onions, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced (I add extra, but I LOVE garlic)
- 2 jalapenos, seeded and minced (see above, but replace garlic with jalapenos)
- 1 28 oz can of diced tomatoes, or if your garden is full of them, dice up 3 ripe medium sized fresh ones.
- 2 quarts chicken stock
- 2 cans or equivalent frozen packages of corn (thawed)
- 2 cups (or more, add what you want this is just a guide) shredded, cooked chicken (I use a smoked turkey breast that we do in the smoker and freeze. I recommend for quick cheap and easy get a rotisserie chicken from a supermarket and use that. Make a meal of the legs and thighs and use the breasts for the soup, that will net you at least 4 -5 meals all told for one low price!)
Place a stock pot over medium heat and coat with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Add the onions, jalapenos and tomatoes (if you are using fresh). Cook until the vegetables have started to soften and get pulpy. Add the garlic and tomatoes (if you are using canned) and cook another 5 minutes.
Add the chicken (or yummy smoked turkey), the corn, and the stock. Season with salt and pepper and simmer for 20 minutes.
That's it folks! It's that easy!
Now, like a good chili this can be simmered longer and the flavors just continue to build, but it's not something I would cook all day.
Want more?
Ladle into bowls, slice up some fresh avocado and throw it on top, then hit it with a squeeze of fresh lime juice (my favorite way to go)
Still more?
****Additions below this line may detract from the healthiness of this dish if used in excessive quantities****
-add shredded cheese
-add a dollop of sour cream
-add crushed up tortilla chips
****end of additions****
This recipe is totally versatile, full of flavor, and color. It looks fantastic! Take the base and eat it as is or add your own touches and make it your own recipe! If you are afraid of cooking this is a great dish to experiment with. This stuff freezes very well, so make it a double batch!

Regarding the column by Wade Heath in the April 5 edition of the Lodi News-Sentinel, I would like to point out the glaring inaccuracy in his opening paragraph.
Mr. Heath stated, "The Department of Homeland Security posted in an announcement online on Monday that they would be issuing 'unlawful presence waivers' to illegal immigrants in order to stop them from being deported."
The proposal actually states: "USCIS now proposes to amend its regulations to allow certain immediate relatives of U.S. citizens who are physically present in the United States to request provisional unlawful presence waivers under the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 prior to departing from the United States for consular processing of their immigrant visa applications." Previously, individuals would file this waiver after their departure from the U.S.
Illegal immigration is a serious problem. I am sure no one disagrees with that statement. However, for a columnist to either deliberately or inadvertently twist the intent of a minor change in policy that leads his readership to believe that special considerations are being given to certain individuals in order to prevent their deportation is reprehensible. If done deliberately, one can easily believe that the purpose is solely to inflame an already contentious issue. If done without having the correct information, it can only be interpreted as faulty journalism.
A correction to this misinformation on Mr. Heath's part is due to the LNS readership. I sincerely hope he will double-check his future columns to prevent this type of error.

Is there any way to prevent breast shrinkage due to weight loss? I've recently lost a lot of weight, and while I'm happy about that, I've gone down about one and a half cup sizes, and the shape has changed significantly. Will consuming significant quantities of phytoestrogens perhaps be of use, or can pectoral exercises at least affect the appearance?
Are you at a healthy weight currently? If you are unsure, our dietician Jill Kelly can help you with determining what weight range is ideal for you. Breast size does diminish with weight loss and body fat loss, and there is no proven way to change that. Phytoestrogens have not been studied for safety in premenopausal women. Pectoral exercises won't change the breast tissue itself at all.
Resist the temptation to try cosmetic fixes, surgical or otherwise. Your body is healthier overall if you have lost excessive weight, so breast appearance is secondary, and will be a nonissue if you ever decide to become pregnant and lactate. Your breast tissue undergoes major changes at that point no matter what you do now.

Ethical Question: Casing vs. Copying

Sue, the case you mention in which your card was completely replicated and displayed without credit is exactly the situation that aggravates me. It doesn't matter what the CASE-er's reasons were - just as it doesn't in the larger venues of copyright infringement and plagiarism in music, literature, etc. The courts wouldn't and don't accept the "Gee, I forgot I got the idea from someone else" excuse.
Again, please be assured that I'm NOT talking about cards that draw from other cards, that use their layouts or a great idea for a focal image or a background or a beautiful handmade flower, etc. We all do that - that's what comes of being in the creative soup. Part of why we are here is to learn and be inspired. And I think the vast majority of us are very aware of when our work is "inspired" by others and when it gets close enough to warrant a nod and a wave to someone else, even if it is not an exact copy.
And I'm not talking about someone who CASEes a card they love and then sends it to someone for their birthday. It's a context thing. Once you upload a card to your gallery, you are proclaiming that it is your work unless you say otherwise. When you enter a card in a competition, you are presenting it as your own work, period.
I'm not talking about "similar". Yes, two people might make similar cards and who can say who thought of it first... and who cares? But what are the chances of two people making exactly the same card? Nil.
There's absolutely nothing wrong with CASEing. (And here I am using the word to mean an exact copy, not a "personal version" of a card like we do with our Featured Stampers.) But if you then put the card out into the public domain, you ought to credit the original designer. Anything less is not ethical.
I keep saying I'm not going to post to this thread anymore lest people start thinking of me as a hothead. I'm not, really and truly! And my greatest fear is that people will think I am being derogatory towards anyone who CASEs a card. Which is not my intent! At all!!!
The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new lands but in seeing with new eyes...

Control your energy bills
Time to take control of your energy bills
Rising energy bills are the number one financial issue for households. We're here to help.
Homebase has teamed up with other big brands, charities, community groups and the government to offer some solutions to help you get your energy bills under control.
Simply put, we want to show you how to
use less, waste less and pay less
Use less
Efficient boilers
Since 60% of your energy costs are spent onheating and hot water, replacing an old boiler with a new, more efficient one can really make a big difference to your energy bills in the long run.
Heating controls
Using room and radiator thermostats, and programmers will help you to manage your household temperatures, ensure your heating is on at the right times and allow you to control your bills.
Creating your own electricity or heat will quickly get your energy bills down. Adding solar panels or heat pumps gives you greater control of your energy usage, and you may also get financial support through government schemes.
Efficient appliances
It's important to consider energy ratings when choosing new appliances like a fridge, tumble dryer or TV. The higher the rating, the less energy it uses and the lower your costs.
Efficient lighting
Take control of your bills by replacing your bulbs. Replacing a traditional filament lightbulb with an energy efficient one will save £45 in that bulb's lifetime, while changing halogen lights for LEDs could save £40 per year.
Waste less
Older buildings tend to leak heat, but you can stop your heat escaping with insulation: insulating the roof, walls or floor will keep your home warm and help you control your energy usage. But every house is different, so choose the right insulation solution for your home, its age and specific needs.
Smart meters
Adding a smart meter can help you estimate your energy usage and costs, so you have better control of your energy bills. By 2020, smart meters for electricity and gas will be available for all households, so you can make more informed decisions how you're using energy and spending your money.
Home improvements
Completing a few improvements at one time could reduce your energy usage by 60%, saving you money and helping you take control of your bills. So when you're doing home improvements, always consider escaping heat or how to control your energy.
Gaps in your windows, doors and floorboard can allow to heat to slip away and cold air to creep in. But some simple DIY draught-proofing measures will keep the cold air out and get your energy usage under control.
Everyday behaviors
Everyday habits are the first thing we can change to get in control of our energy usage. Switching off lights, washing clothes at 30 degrees, or only heating rooms you regularly use will all help to lower your bills.
Double glazing
Windows are the first place where houses lose their heat from, but installing double or secondary glazing will help lock in the heat and control your energy bills. Plus, it will reduce outside noise.
Pay less
Switching to a cheaper tariff
Older buildings tend to leak heat, but you can stop your heat escaping with insulation: insulating the roof, walls or floor will keep your home warm and help you control your energy usage. But every house is different, so choose the right insulation solution for your home, its age and specific needs.
Seek out
Visit energycontrol.co.uk for more ideas and advice on how to lower your energy costs; but if you need help understanding your bills, just call the Energy Saving Advice Service or your local Citizens Advice consumer helpline (don't worry, they're free helplines).
Go to the government
The government may offer financial aid if you're elderly, disabled or have a low income. They also have the Green Deal Scheme, which allows homeowners and renters to spread energy bill payments over time.
Here to help
Share your thoughts about taking control of your energy bills on Twitter with the hashtags: #EnergyControl #UseLessWasteLessPayLess
