Yes they could, many companies will send accounts to collection agencies if you do not pay them. Collections are very damaging to your credit, so I advise that you pay this right away and make sure that you keep proof of the payment.

Edit Post – No content
I have installed WP User fronten according to the installation including adding pages for Dashboard, Edit Post & New post.
Everything seems to work except when I try to edit a post. I get redirected to the correct page, the heading is there, but no content meaning the only thing present on the page is the heading.
I tried it both on my home test site and the live site, but same result.
the page I am redirected to is:
permalink for the post I am trying to edit: http://mydomain.dk/?p=13
I have not changed the permaling structure, as I cant use postname in the permalinks due to national characters, so I have a red warning in the top of the admin panel: You need to set your permalink custom structure to at least contain /%postname%/ before WP User Frontend will work properly.
I hope that this isnt the rootcause of the problem, as I do not want to change permalink structure.
apart from this, the plugin works as designed 🙂

Soccer fans in Vancouver woke up Thursday morning to the news that one of the world's biggest clubs will be visiting Canada's west coast this summer.
At a press conference at Empire Field, Vancouver Whitecaps FC announced that English Premier League (EPL) giants Manchester City FC would play the Major League Soccer outfit in an international friendly on the Pacific National Exhibition grounds this summer. The 'Caps will host Roberto Mancini's side on Monday, July 18, at 7 p.m. PT on Bell Pitch at Empire Field as part of the 2011 World Football Challenge. Whitecaps FC will install natural grass at Empire Field for the international friendly.
"July 18th should be a fantastic summer's evening, and particularly at Empire Field," said Whitecaps FC chief executive officer Paul Barber. "We're expecting a very big crowd and I'm sure they'll enjoy seeing the match being played on natural grass. Manchester City have emerged as one of the English Premier League's most exciting clubs. They certainly are one of the most glamourous clubs in the world and have a galaxy of big-name stars that populate their squad. They have a very talented manager in Roberto Mancini and a fantastic stadium in the City of Manchester Stadium, which played host to the Commonwealth Games back in 2002."
Owned by Abu Dhabi billionaire Sheikh Mansour Bin Zayed Al Nahyan since September 2008, Manchester City FC are considered the wealthiest club in world soccer, with Mancini's squad including some of soccer's top talents. They include Argentine striker Carlos Tevez, Spanish World Cup winner David Silva, and Ivory Coast brothers Kolo and Yaya Toure. City have also have some of England's top players like goalkeeper Joe Hart, and midfielders Gareth Barry, Adam Johnson, and Shaun Wright-Phillips. Many of these names will be familiar to soccer fans in Vancouver, with weekly EPL coverage being the norm across Canada for the past several years.
Whitecaps FC season ticket holders will receive tickets for the July 18 friendly as a special bonus, with the Blue and White still selling 2011 season tickets at a pro-rated price until the end of this month. "By hosting this exciting friendly match, we wanted to thank our fans, as they have been absolutely fantastic to us since the start of this season," Barber said at Thursday's press conference. "As a special thank you to our fans, we are providing the Manchester City game to our season tickets holders as a bonus, as they will be our guests on July 18."
The July friendly will be the third time that Whitecaps FC and Manchester City have played other in a friendly, and on the site of Vancouver's current home. In 1980, the two clubs played each other in the Trans-Atlantic Challenge Tournament, with the 'Caps defeating a Malcolm Allison-led City squad 5-0 at the old Empire Stadium. The following season, the two clubs met again at Empire Stadium, with Whitecaps FC winning 2-0. "With the two results that we've had against them, City have yet to score against us, so I'm sure they will want to remedy that when they arrive in the summer," said Whitecaps FC president Bob Lenarduzzi.
Tickets for the July 18 friendly between Whitecaps FC and Manchester City FC will be valued at $60 each, with individual match ticket availability to be announced at a later date.

The Yamaha FJ700X Maxim X 700 is a wonderful ride, good handling. Unbelievable power and torque. With a ~10K Redline and making 96hp and 85ft/lb somewhere around 7-8K RPM, this bike is one impressive machine for short distance (light-to-light) sprints. Handily outperforms most sport racing style bikes in that distance. Top speed around 140 MPH. I had mine over 135 on several occasions with little effort and no handling problems.

The Yamaha FJ700X Maxim X is a comfortable cruiser with sport bike speed. Why these two ever parted ways is beyond me. This bike was at the pinnacle of the muscle bike era until the V-max took over.

Most people associate canning with earlier generations, but the simple process is making a comeback as more people grow their own fruits and vegetables — then realize they can't eat everything fast enough.
There are several methods for canning including boiling-water canning and pressure canning.
Chris Duncan, family and consumer sciences agent for the Oldham County Extension Service, said safety is key when canning.
Improperly canned foods can cause botulism, a deadly form of food poisoning.
A full day of family-friendly entertainment is planned Sept. 8 for the Crestwood Festival.
The Maples, a sprawling property between Ky. 22 and Ky. 146 near Dairy Queen in Crestwood, will bustle with vendor booths, games and live performances, including featured bands Hog Operation and The Monarchs.
High-flying pancakes will kick off the festival as John Young brings his Chris Cakes equipment to serve breakfast from 9 to 11 a.m.
Park your car on La Grange streets and you may find surprise waiting when you return — a ticket, courtesy of city police.
La Grange Police Chief Kevin Collett said officers hope to reduce the number of illegally-parked vehicles lining city streets by issuing more parking tickets.
According to city regulations passed in 2011, vehicles must be parked in driveways or pull-off areas unless no space is available.
Oldham County Schools graduation rates fell last year, according to a report released last week by the Kentucky Department of Education.
But district administrators said the number doesn't accurately reflect graduation rates because of a change in the way rates are calculated.
Oldham County's district-wide graduation rate for 2010-11 fell to 85.6 percent — falling nearly 3 percentage points from 2009-10.
If you've ever been scared to turn left from Ky. 53 in La Grange, you're not alone.
The half-mile stretch of road between Yager Avenue and New Moody Lane is admittedly dangerous — more than 100 vehicle crashes happened there in the past 12 months, according to police records.
Sometimes there are multiple accidents, like Aug. 3, when there were at least four just on Ky. 53 and several more on nearby side streets.
Troopers from Kentucky State Police Post 5 have arrested a Henry County man after he was indicted on charges of rape, sodomy and sexual abuse.
Dwayne Whitman, 54, of Pendleton, was arrested by Tpr. Barrett Brewer at 12:53 a.m. on Aug. 20 at 502 Brownsboro Road in Sulphur, Ky.
Whitman was indicted by the Henry County grand jury Aug. 9.
The indictment came after an investigation by KSP Det. Tim Moore found that Whitman allegedly raped, sodomized and sexually abused a juvenile over a period of six months.

North Oldham defeated Henry County 38-7 to win the 20/20 Bowl trophy. North's vision seemed to be perfectly clear right from the get-go after their first play from under center was taken to the house. Ten seconds in to the game, senior running back Josh Smith broke free, on the left hand side and scampered all the way for a 70 yard touchdown run.

The Comic Speculator is a blog written by WorthPoint Comic Book "Worthologist" Matt Baum that takes a look at each week's hot new comics and back issues and the comic market place in general. Prices discussed here are taken from the Overstreet Guide to Comics (OVST), Comicspriceguide.com (CPG) and current online auction sales. Make sure and click on the active links to learn more about the titles and creators discussed here.
Before we get started: Good news about the comic market. Click here to read a great article from the The Boston Globe about the state of the comic book market on the East Coast. It's actually good news.
It's Wednesday again, and there's more than 150 new titles hitting the shelves. Some are great reads, others a waste of your time and money. I try not to point fingers and laugh here; that's for my other comic blog, but concentrate on which titles are going to go fast. So let's get to it, but before we do . . .
Click here to see a complete list of new comics shipping this Wednesday, Nov. 18.
This is the part where I use my comic swami powers to peer into the future and pick out three titles that could sell out very quickly. Buy them now at cover price or pay twice as much later.
Solicitation: Dr. Ghislain sends C.N.V and partner Sara Nix to Tokyo to track down rogue Triplet Yashitiko Ammo (P.G.O) and things go from bad to worse, starting with the fact that sticking C.N.V in economy class on a 18-hour flight to Japan is, in the history of bad ideas, right up there with Stalin, polyester, and Axe Body Spray. Plus, we finally learn who the Scarf Guy is!
Ali vs. Frazier! Tyson vs. Holyfield! Cowboy/Ninja/Viking vs. Pirate/Gladiator/Oceanographer!
Written by Aj Lieberman; Pencils by Riley Rossmo.
Why it'll go fast: When I picked CNV #1 to sell out I had no idea that there would be huge shipping errors and allocations on the title across the country. I had heard that Another Dimension Comics in Alberta, Calgary was shorted its entire order on CNV, which is funny because the artist on the the title, Riley Rossmo, works there part time. Whoops! Initial orders on #1 were light, as usual for an Image title, Internet buzz was huge and shipping errors whipped the nerds into a fervor resulting in copies selling for $10 and up. I'm not predicting shipping errors on issue #2—although Diamond screwing up is becoming a safer bet every week—but there will be lighter orders than on number #1. There always is.
Solicitation: From the Joss Whedon-helmed webmovie "Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog" comes the origin story of the next greatest supervillain of all time . . . Dr. Horrible!
In this one-shot comic, Zack Whedon and artist Joelle Jones (Token) establish how a young, impressionable, but brilliant Dr. Horrible was drawn into a world of crime. Readers are reacquainted with the charming, brawny, crime-fighting superhero extraordinaire Captain Hammer when Dr. Horrible crosses paths with his greatest enemy in an all-out showdown of immeasurable proportions. Special guest appearances include Dr. Horrible's love interest, Penny; his sidekick, Moist; and a meter man. Fans of Joss Whedon and the smash-hit musical "Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog" will not want to miss this!
Includes two alternate covers by artist Kristian Donaldson (DMZ, Supermarket) and a pin-up from superstar artist Gene Ha (The 49ers).
Written by Zack Whedon; Pencils by Joelle Jones; Cover by Dan Jackson; Variant Cover by Kristian Donaldson.
Why it'll go fast: Never underestimate Joss Whedon fans. These are the same people who managed to keep "Dollhouse" on the Fox network for two seasons, and that's saying something. Now, most of us who aren't huge Whedon-nerds may not have heard of "Doctor Horrible's Sing-Along Blog." Being a Whedon-nerd myself, I have, and recommend you check it out. I just don't see any retailers ordering heavy on this issue making it an instant sell-out. It wouldn't surprise me to see Doc Horrible selling for $20 by Friday. Now re-order and reprint sales might fill the market for this comics pretty quickly, as a lot of Whedon fans may not be concerned with owning a first printing. And keep in mind; Joss didn't write this comic. If this one is hot, it's only go to be for a few weeks.
Solicitation: A Realm Of Kings series! Now led by Queen Medusa, the battered and bruised Inhuman royal family struggles to maintain their grip on the reigns of power over the Kree Empire. Courtly intrigues and external threats are beginning to erode their rule–but the biggest threat may lurk within the family itself! War Of Kings' Dan Abnett & Andy Lanning unite with Pablo Raimondi (X-Factor) for the next chapter in the lives of these classic Marvel characters!
Written by Andy Lanning and Dan Abnett; Pencils by Pablo Raimondi; Inks by Andrew Hennessy; Cover by Frank Martin.
Why it'll go fast: Realm of Kings #1 is the big news this week and it's going to be the highest-ordered of the crossover event. The RoK Inhumans comic will probably be ordered close to the same level as the one-shot but will still sell out faster. Anyone who has been around for any of Abnett and Lanning's cosmic crossover events knows they don't tell worthless tie-in stories. This Inhumans tie-in will probably be the main crux of the story seeing as it deals with the disappearance of Black Bolt and how Medusa will lead her people. When readers who loved the last two Cosmic Crossovers go looking for this comic it might not be there.
Now go shopping nerds! You only have six days until next Wednesday!
Next week, in honor of the latest Marvel Cosmic Crossover, "Realm of Kings," I'll be taking a look at some key issues starring Marvel's Cosmic Heroes.

Outdoor dining would enhance Lighthouse Park | Letter
Editor, The Beacon:
This is an open letter to Mayor Jennifer Gregerson and the City Council:
It has come to our attention that the council is considering outdoor café seating on the property adjacent to the Diamond Knot Brewery & Alehouse at Lighthouse Park "Leasing of parkland to brewery considered," The Beacon, front page, July 16].
The management team at Diamond Knot Craft Brewing would like to encourage the council to move forward with review and cost analysis for such use. We are certain that café seating at the proposed area would complement the park, as well as extend Diamond Knot's already lively experience to the entrance of the park.
For all the right reasons, we feel that creating a vibrant area at the corner will foster positive social opportunities, enhance the visual appearance at the entrance to the park and give visitors another reason to stop and enjoy all that the park has to offer.
With the future construction of the multimodal station east of the historic landing, now is the time to seize the opportunity to bring added excitement to this developing area.
Diamond Knot would like to have a voice in the process as current business owners and potential stewards of the proposed outdoor café.
Although the discussions about outdoor café seating were a little ahead of their time last year, we are glad the discussion has continued. Part of Diamond Knot's value statement is to "Always do the right thing."
In this case, we want to do the right thing by being a good neighbor, working with the city to create the best possible experience at the park.
Historically, outdoor café seating has been a win-win for communities and associated businesses. To be honest, we have no idea how this will affect Diamond Knot financially. We are willing to take a risk if the costs seem to be in line with the company's plans.
From Seattle to Langley on Whidbey Island, many communities have taken the leap to use public land for private use.
Looking at Diamond Knot's history, we, too, have taken many leaps to create an economically viable approach to what was once a hobby.
From two Boeing employees to a company that now employs more than 130 people, almost 80 of which work within Mukilteo's city limits, we have proven to be a solid partner in Mukilteo's economic success story.
A decision to approve such a use could be just another chapter in this history.
We welcome a thoughtful approach to this process and are willing to work with the city as needed to bring this conversion to fruition.
With respect,
Sherry Jennings,
Director of Communications and Public Advocacy,
Diamond Knot Craft Brewing

Reading's Alex McCarthy delighted with England recognition
Alex McCarthy admits his first England call-up is a dream come true but knows Premier League football is key.
Last Updated: 16/05/13 10:08pm
The 23-year-old has been included in Roy Hodgson's 22-man party for the forthcoming friendlies against Republic of Ireland and Brazil.
And McCarthy, who will compete with fellow shot-stoppers Ben Foster and Joe Hart for a playing role in the games, is understandably delighted.
"I am over the moon to get the call," he told Sky Sports. "Growing up as a young boy, you dream of playing for your country. I have got that opportunity now."
McCarthy earned his selection after impressing Hodgson despite Reading's relegation from the Premier League.
The form of the goalkeeper, who has two years left on his contract at the Madejski Stadium, has also caught the eye of Liverpool among other clubs if reports are to be believed.
But while McCarthy knows staying in the Premier League would boost his England credentials ahead of the 2014 World Cup, he is in no rush to leave Reading.
"Obviously it is going to help," he said when asked about staying in the top flight to aid in international future.
"It is where the best players are. It gives you more opportunity of playing for the national team.
"But I have still got two years left at Reading. They are my club at the moment so we will have to see what the future holds."

Leaky gas bottle blamed for explosion that killed man in fibro cottage at Tuncurry
Fire crews believe a leaking gas bottle is to blame for a massive explosion that killed a man in a house on the NSW mid-north coast.
The body of the elderly man was found among the ruins of a fibro cottage on the Lakes Way at Tuncurry on Friday.
The Forster Fire Brigade said the cottage became engulfed in flames after an explosion that scattered debris across a wide area.
The cottage was largely made of asbestos and a wide area around it has been cordoned off.
The Lakes Way was also closed for several hours.
A spokesman for Fire and Rescue NSW says an LPG bottle is strongly suspected as the cause of the blast.
He said it was a timely reminder for people to check gas cylinders for leaks.
Inspector Neil Stevens says while investigations are in the early stages, it was most likely an accident.
"We've had nothing to suggest anything suspicious at this stage but we'll complete the forensic examinations to determine whether or not there is anything suspicious," he said.
The body of the man is yet to be identified.

ANALYSIS / Israel, Syria Already Have Outline for Direct Talks
Turkish official says Turkey will no longer serve as 'mobile phone' mediator between the sides.
Israel and Syria, via Turkish mediation, have already outlined an agenda for direct talks, if and when they occur. And a Turkish official involved in the negotiations told Haaretz that the time has now come for such talks.
"We expect the next discussions to be direct ones between Israeli and Syrian military officials regarding security arrangements and a buffer zone," the Turkish official said. "They can no longer be procedural discussions in which we serve as a 'mobile phone.' Now, direct talks are needed. It would be ridiculous for us to start shuttling maps from room to room. Talks might also begin, simultaneously or subsequently, on the meaning of normalization."
Asked when, and at what level, the next meeting will take place, he responded: "After the Mediterranean meeting we'll know more."
Will next week's summit of Mediterranean leaders in France give the signal for direct talks by providing an opportunity for a public handshake between Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Syrian President Bashar Assad? In an interview with Le Figaro this week, Assad was evasive. He said that American involvement is necessary for direct talks, and this is inconceivable as long as George W. Bush remains president. But at the same time, he said that if French President Nicolas Sarkozy demonstrates enthusiasm for Israeli-Syrian negotiations, Assad will be happy to involve him.
The main fear now is that after Israeli and Syrian representatives have agreed on an agenda in Turkey, the long waiting period until a new American administration is sworn in may halt the momentum that has been created. Syria, which is interested in moving forward with the talks as long as Israel has a premier who is also interested in talking, might view active involvement by Sarkozy as a suitable interim solution. If that is indeed what Assad decides, it is reasonable to assume that he will not refrain from meeting Olmert at the summit, and will thereby set the next steps in motion.
Syria has recently seen its diplomatic status in the region rise due to its involvement in the Doha summit, which produced the breakthrough that is soon expected to result in a new Lebanese government. It is now seeking to use its influence to effect a reconciliation between Fatah and Hamas. In short, Damascus aspires to paint itself as at least as important as Egypt and Saudi Arabia in resolving regional problems. The Syrians recognize the weakness of Israel's current government, but their assessment is that by talking with Israel now, they could at least obtain an agreed outline of a peace treaty, even if its implementation would have to wait for another Israeli government. Such an agreement in principle would give the next American administration a reason to change its policy toward Syria and end sanctions against it.
For Paris to step into Washington's shoes as an Israeli-Syrian mediator, Assad must first pay his dues in Lebanon. France expects that after the new Lebanese government is established - possibly by the end of this week - Assad will announce the opening of a Syrian embassy in Lebanon, ending Syria's long-standing refusal to recognize Lebanon as an independent country. Such an announcement may well be made in Paris after a meeting there between Assad and the new Lebanese president, Michel Suleiman.

In Singapore 2008 would be remembered as a year with more than its regular share of memorable events. In June the city-state recorded its highest population level ever, at nearly 4.84 million. In August citizens rejoiced when three Singaporean table tennis players won the women's team silver medal at the Beijing Olympic Games. They were Singapore's first Olympic medalists since 1960. In another first, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong delayed by 24 hours the telecast of his annual state of the nation address rather than compete for viewers with the televised final match. The following month the island republic became the site of auto racing's first Formula 1 Grand Prix night race.
On a more controversial note, February saw the escape of Jemaah Islamiyah terrorist Mas Selamat Kastari from the Whitley Road Detention Centre. It was the first time that anyone had escaped from the centre, which housed those detained under the Internal Security Act. A national uproar ensued, and there were calls for the resignation of the home affairs minister and for a detailed accounting of the event. A commission of inquiry was set up and reported its findings to Parliament in April.
Equally controversial was the Ministry of Health's introduction of a law, likely to be passed in 2009, to allow the monetary "reimbursement" of kidney transplant donors. The compensation would cover the donor's costs but would not be enough to induce donations.
Inflation surged in the first half of the year to a peak of almost 7%, a 25-year high. As the prices of basic foodstuffs such as rice and cooking oil escalated sharply, some hoarding began to take place. By the later part of the year, however, recession had replaced inflation as the biggest worry. Singapore became the first country in Southeast Asia to record a technical recession (defined as two fiscal quarters of contraction) in 2008; its extremely open and trade-dependent economy made it vulnerable to economic slumps in the United States and Europe. The government responded with characteristic swiftness and on November 21 announced a S$2.3 billion (about U.S.$1.5 billion) package to help save jobs and ease access to credit for companies. The measures were also characteristically hard-headed; grants for affected workers would be conditional on the workers' enrollment in courses to learn new skills. Even then the grants would be awarded on a discretionary, case-by-case basis.

A Clarke County grand jury indicted a Winterville man Wednesday on charges he murdered his 9-week-old son last year when he violently shook the infant, knocking the child's head on a hard surface and fracturing his skull.

The grand jury charged 33-year-old Jeffrey Towe with four counts of felony murder and one count each of first- and second-degree child cruelty, aggravated battery and aggravated assault in the death of his son, Robert Fowler.
After a judge issued warrants for Towe's arrest, police took him into custody Wednesday evening at his parents' home on Greensboro Highway in Watkinsville and transported him to the Clarke County Jail, said Det. Charles Ivey of the Athens-Clarke County Police Department's robbery/homicide squad, which investigated the infant's death.
According to the indictment, Towe "maliciously" caused the infant's death by "seriously disfiguring his body, in that (Towe) did shake (Robert) and cause his head to be struck by a certain hard surface, resulting in fractures to his skull and hemorrhaging in his left eye."
The infant was the son of Towe and Rachel Fowler, who had lived together in their Cherokee Road trailer for four years.
The alleged child abuse happened on July 2 while Rachel Fowler was working at a local Wal-Mart and Towe was taking care of the infant, the couple's 18-month-old daughter and a 7-year-old girl from Rachel Fowler's previous marriage.
Although police investigated the case as a possible homicide from the beginning, it was not classified as one until the Clarke County coroner signed the death certificate on Nov. 12.
In an interview in September, Towe insisted Robert Fowler was injured when the infant's 18-month-old sister pulled him off a bed onto the floor.
The baby did not seem injured, Towe said, but a few hours later he noticed Robert had trouble breathing. The father discovered a head injury and took the child to the hospital, he said.
Robert never regained consciousness, and died four days later after being removed from life support systems.
"I didn't do anything wrong," Towe said in the September interview. "I always wanted a little son, and I finally got one. I wouldn't do anything to hurt him."
Rachel Fowler suspected Towe was responsible for her child's death from the beginning, recounting in an interview how his violent temper showed itself the day before the infant was fatally injured, when he'd shaken his son to stop him from crying.

W Is for Wow: Grafton's Running Out of Letters, Not Readers
Sue Grafton's W Is for Wasted, the 23rd installment in her alphabet mystery series, debuts at #1 on our Hardcover Fiction list, selling 56,710 copies in its first week.
As hard-boiled private investigator Kinsey Millhone digs into the mystery surrounding the death of a John Doe, a deeply layered tale emerges, full of betrayals, misunderstandings, and outright murderous fraud. Buzz began for the book back in May with a USA Today cover reveal contest and q&a, a packed kickoff Penguin Booth signing at BookExpo America, and a feature on NPR's Crime in the City. Early teaser advertising included cross-promotion across all social channels, including Facebook, where Grafton has a robust presence.
At publication, Grafton was a guest on NPR's On Point, and major print coverage includes the New York Times Book Review and an upcoming "Behind the Book" feature in that publication; a Wall Street Journal review ("Involving, amusing and fast-paced"); inclusion in USA Today's Fall Preview, as well as a slew of regional media coverage. Her tour will take her all across the country, with events in Phoenix, Ariz.; Houston; Louisville, Ky.; Chicago; Santa Barbara, Calif.; Los Angeles; Denver; Minneapolis; St. Louis, Mo.; Charlotte, N.C.; Albany, N.Y.; Pittsburgh, Pa.; New Haven, Conn.; and Toronto. —Peter Cannon
Popular First Novelist Lands #2
Over a million readers have fallen in love with Jamie Ford's bestselling debut novel, Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet—dubbed by the Seattle Times "a wartime-era Chinese-Japanese variation on Romeo and Juliet"—since its 2009 hardcover publication. On Sept. 10, Ballantine published Ford's eagerly anticipated second novel, Songs of Willow Frost (#12 on this week's Hardcover Fiction list), which became an instant New York Times, and USA Today bestseller. USA Today included the novel in its fall books preview, noting that "novelist Jamie Ford likes to 'excavate the past' … his tools are his words, his imagination and his family history." An Indie Next pick and an inaugural LibraryReads pick for the month of September, this "story of love, loss and second chances, a continuation of Ford's cultural narrative of Asian America" (Sacramento Bee) launched in Seattle with an event hosted by Town Hall and the Wing Luke Museum (which is slated to begin giving Willow Frost walking tours in November). Ford will be touring to 20 markets across the country, with visits to bookstores and such larger-scale events as the Sacramento Bee Book Club, the Metro Detroit Book and Author Society Luncheon, Litquake Literary Festival, the Gala reading and signing at the Montana Festival of the Book, and Landmark on Main Street in Port Washington, N.Y. —Dick Donahue
Motherless Queens
Jonathan Lethem, the author of nine novels and perhaps best known for his memorable Brooklyn settings (he is, after all, a native Brooklynite), hits our Hardcover Fiction list this week at #22 with a novel, this time, set largely in Queens. Dissident Gardens is his account of three generations of radicals, covering everything from McCarthyism to '70s communes to the Occupy movement. The PW review praised Lethem's large cast of "fascinating, lonely people," as well as his ability to illuminate both 20th-century American history and "the human burden of overcoming alienation."
In an interview with PW, Lethem said he harnessed Dissident Gardens' large scope by researching into New York's police history, baseball history, and obviously certain radical and dissident episodes, including some that go completely unmentioned in the book, like Waco."
Lethem will be on tour for the novel through October, including stops at Powell's in Portland, Ore.; Book Passage in San Francisco; Politics & Prose in Washington, D.C.; and Book People in Austin, Tex. He'll cap the tour with an appearance at the Texas Book Festival at the end of October.
In 2010, he was named the Roy Disney Professor in Creative Writing at Pomona College, a post held by David Foster Wallace from 2002 to 2008.—Gabe Habash
Living to Tell the Tale: Journalist Amanda Lindhout Recounts Her 15 Months of Captivity in Somalia
If you've opened a September magazine, you've likely already heard of Amanda Lindhout's memoir, A House in the Sky, cowritten with journalist Sara Corbett, and now debuting at #16 on our Hardcover Nonfiction list. The bare outlines of Lindhout's story, which PW's starred review called a "well-honed, harrowing account," are chilling enough: in 2008, the 27-year old fledgling Canadian TV reporter traveled to Mogadishu with her Australian photojournalist companion, Nigel Brennan, to report on the country's civil war and famine. On their fourth day there, Lindhout and Brennan were abducted by a group of armed, masked men who demanded $1.5 million in ransom. The radical Islamist captors, all teenagers, ultimately separated Lindhout from Brennan, and raped and tortured her. During her captivity, Lindhout imagined herself in a "house in the sky," and vowed that she would do something to help Somali citizens if she survived. After being released in late 2009, Lindhout founded the Global Enrichment Foundation, a nonprofit that supports development, aid, and education initiatives in Somalia and Kenya. The media launch for the remarkable book began with a cover story in the Sept. 1 issue of the New York Times Magazine, followed by a one-hour interview on NBC's Dateline, and additional interviews on the Today Show and Weekend Today. The authors are currently on a seven-city tour to bookstores in Connecticut; Boston; Portland, Ore.; Seattle; the San Francisco Bay area; and Los Angeles. With upcoming interviews on MSNBC's Morning Joe and CNN's Anderson 360 and over 20 regional and national public radio interviews currently being conducted, readers can count on hearing more from Lindhout in the weeks and months to come.—Jessamine Chan
Netflix Heats Up with A Technicolor Memoir
Back in 2007, Orange Is the New Black: My Year in a Woman's Prison, a memoir by preppy Piper Kerman, was one of the first books acquired by Julie Grau at Spiegel & Grau, not long after the author finished serving her 15-month sentence for drug trafficking. The book's 2010 hardcover edition was a major success—extensive media coverage, first serial sale to the New York Times Magazine, NPR interviews, etc.—followed in 2011 by a paperback bestseller. The book was optioned for TV and the rest is history. Kerman's tome had the good fortune to be brilliantly realized by producer/director Jenji Kohan, who created the hit TV series Weeds, and turned the Netflix OITNB series into a wildly popular cultural phenomenon. As the Netflix campaign took hold big-time, book sales spiked dramatically in July and August; Orange landed at #7 on PW's Sept. 1 Trade Paperback list; it's #26 this week (just off our list), with total Nielsen BookScan sales to date of 103,438.
Along with cast members, Kerman has been spearheading publicity—Netflix made the "true story" prominent in its messaging, and the author serves as a consultant to the show. Shortly after its July 11 premier came the news that a second season had been green-lighted. Spiegel & Grau then issued a tie-in edition with series art, which is now widely distributed in the mass merchandise channel. The publisher is in its 17th printing of the "orange sneaker edition" and the seventh printing of the series tie-in, with more than 300,000 copies in circulation. Season two of Orange is set to air in 2014.—Dick Donahue

Adrian helps kids stock up for school year
Adrian helps kids stock up for school year
Gonzalez gave the Red Sox Scholars -- 220 of them spanning from incoming seventh graders to college juniors -- $125 apiece to spend on the things they need at Target.
"Just seeing smiles, seeing the parents," the first baseman said as kids shopped around him at the South Bay Galleria in Dorchester, Mass. "Most of the parents come up to us and are very thankful for this, it really helps them out. Seeing the smiles on the kids and the fact that they got all the supplies they needed, maybe a shirt or two that they really liked."
Last year, all the money the Gonzalez family gave at Target was dedicated to school supplies. This year, they upped the amount and made an allowance beforehand for clothes and other things that parents can't always afford.
"Last year it was $100 for school supplies," Gonzalez said. "Most of the kids, when they got to the $70 range, they didn't know how else to fill it. A lot of kids came up to us and asked if they could get a pair of shoes and a shirt, something like that. So one of the ways to improve it this year was to make it $125 per kid and make it a 65-minimum for supplies, and they could fill the rest with clothing."
On the field, Gonzalez has been on fire since the All-Star break. His 1.065 OPS is tops among all Major League first basemen in the second half, as his .369 average.
The timing only helps his philanthropic efforts: He came into the off-day with homers in two straight games, and for every time he goes deep in the second half, he's donating $5,000 to the Jimmy Fund. Right now he's at nine home runs, or $45,000.
"It's been a good stretch where I feel pretty confident at the plate and just continue to just try to have good at-bats and keep the feeling going," Gonzalez said. "We're focused, we're out there trying to win every game. Just gets more and more frustrating every time the game ends and we end up losing."
On the season, Gonzalez is hitting .307 with 15 home runs and 85 RBIs.
The other big-name player who joined the Red Sox before the 2011 season, Carl Crawford, is done for the season because of Tommy John surgery. That will put more of the offensive load on Gonzalez's shoulders, and those of his teammates, as the Sox try to make a late run at the playoffs, but Gonzalez is understanding. He wants Crawford at full strength.
"The biggest thing for us is to have him 100 percent healthy," Gonzalez said. "We know the kind of player that he can be, the kind of impact he can have on a game. Whatever we need for him to be 100 percent healthy ... We've got guys that can step in, but you know he is definitely a big part of our success and so we saw what he's capable of doing."
Gonzalez -- a left-handed thrower like Crawford -- can understand the pain Crawford has likely been feeling. He had a similar tear in his throwing elbow that doesn't bother him at first base these days, but it has been a source of discomfort in the past.
"I have a similar, not similar because it's scarred over, similar tear," Gonzalez said. "Playing first base I don't have any feeling from it, it doesn't bother me, but when I did play outfield I did start feeling it. ... Scarred over. Still, I can see how much pain he probably goes through every day."

Custom firmware helps with smart motor programming
Moog Animatics has designed Class 5 SmartMotor firmware to accept DMX protocol and can use multiple SmartMotors on the same network as well as simplify programming with advanced motion control features.
Moog Animatics has designed custom Class 5 SmartMotor firmware to accept DMX protocol, which is designed to bring integrated motion control to the entertainment industry.
DMX512 is a standard for digital communication that's most often used in entertainment to control lighting and stage effects. A single DMX controller has 512 8-bit channels (commonly called a universe) with each channel capable of controlling color, focus, intensity, on/off, pan and tilt and more. Custom DMX firmware allows the SmartMotor to be programmed by the user to read any range of channels and ignore channels not assigned. Multiple SmartMotors on the same network can read separate or overlapping DMX channels where multiple channel ranges can be read and data can be stored in variables to set parameters for motion.
The DMX capability simplifies programming with advanced motion control features such as phase offset, cubic spline interpolation and advanced gearing and camming can be triggered off of the DMX input. As fully integrated motion control benefits include smaller machine footprint and reduced cabling, the odds of DMX false triggers from electromagnetic interference or extensive cable lengths are greatly reduced. The entire motion control system becomes more compact with no control cabinet needed and axes can be easily added without the limitations of choosing a 4-, 6- or 8- axis controller.

Annual Salary Survey
Before the calendar turned, 2016 already had the makings of a pivotal year for manufacturing, and for the world.
There were the big events for the year, including the United States as Partner Country at Hannover Messe in April and the 2016 International Manufacturing Technology Show in Chicago in September. There's also the matter of the U.S. presidential elections in November, which promise to shape policy in manufacturing for years to come.
But the year started with global economic turmoil, as a slowdown in Chinese manufacturing triggered a worldwide stock hiccup that sent values plummeting. The continued plunge in world oil prices has resulted in a slowdown in exploration and, by extension, the manufacture of exploration equipment.

Gov. Mark Dayton said Monday that the decision by medical device manufacturer Medtronic to acquire the Ireland-based company Covidien is a "good deal" for the people of Minnesota.
When Dayton first learned about the $43 billion deal, he said his main concern was for the 8,000 Medtronic employees in Minnesota. The Democratic governor said company officials assured him that they plan to keep their Minnesota operations and all existing jobs intact, with plans to hire more in the future.
"From the perspective of Minnesota, from the perspective of a major employer here, keeping all the jobs that are here and promising to add over a thousand additional jobs over the next five years. That aspect of it is very good for Minnesota," he said.
But some of Dayton's potential Republican rivals in this year's governor's race say it's anything but. They quickly tried to make the corporate transaction a campaign issue and an indictment of Minnesota's business tax climate.
Dayton, however, said Medtronic officials assured him that the company's decision to move the executive offices was based on federal tax issues, not state taxes. He said Medtronic's tax liability in Minnesota won't change. The governor explained that as a U.S. corporation, Medtronic has to pay federal tax on all its foreign profits, and as an Ireland-based corporation, it won't.
"They maintain that frees up the money that will permit them to make, they've said, $10 billion of additional investments in the United States over the next decade," Dayton said. "So, I'm not a financial expert. I can't assess what the intricacies are of federal and other countries' tax policies. My perspective is Minnesota, and Minnesota taxes are not an issue."
Dayton said he thinks the federal government should take a look at those tax policies. But he said that's the purview of Congress, not the governor.
Still, some of the Republican candidates for governor are placing the blame squarely on Dayton. Businessman Scott Honour said he thinks Dayton is "dangerously out of touch" for not expressing greater concern about the deal.
"What's happening here is you're seeing a company make a decision for tax reasons to move its corporate headquarters out of the state," Honour said. "When you look at our governor's policies on regulations and taxes, we're pushing companies the other way. Instead of creating an environment where companies want to come to Minnesota, we're creating an environment where they want to leave."
Another GOP candidate, former GOP state Rep. Marty Seifert, said he thinks Medtronic made its move for several reasons, including the tax on medical devices that is part of the new federal health care law. However, in a conference call with investors about the acquisition Medtronic's CEO did not mention the medical device tax. Seifert said he' also convinced that Minnesota's tax climate under Dayton was another factor.
"I am running into business owners all the time -- both small medium and large -- and they're telling me we are making decisions based on Minnesota's very anti-competitive tax climate," Seifert said. "He doesn't want to hear that as the governor, but that's the reality, that there are a lot of companies that are making decisions every single day based upon a very uncompetitive tax environment that he has helped create, and now he doesn't want to take responsibility for it."
Asked about the comments, Dayton said it was proof that Seifert "doesn't know what he's talking about."
Later Monday, Dayton and the Department of Employment and Economic Development hailed the expansion plans of a much smaller medical device maker. They announced that Cardiovascular Systems Incorporated is getting $2.75 million in state subsidies to build a $30 million headquarters in New Brighton and to hire 205 new employees within two years.

I've never written a review; but Canvas4life had such great customer service, I had to tell people about it. Easy ordering, great product, fast delivery and the best customer service I have ever received. I shop mostly online due to time limitations, and that can be challenging when you have questions or need a bit of extra help. Not for this company. I used their online chat and they answered my questions and walked me through an old photo I had that needed adjustments for a canvas print. My prints came out beautiful, fast delivery and great price along with great customer service. I highly recommend doing business with this company.

Huzzah! Once Upon a Time finally returns from its winter hiatus this Sunday and ABC, ever the TV fairtytale godmother, has decided to gift us with the first eight minutes of the episode early.
Wait, it gets better: the episode finally gives us some insight into the enigma that is Mr. Gold/Rumplestiltskin (Robert Carlyle), including giving us an intro to his 14-year-old son in the fairytale world. Yes, Rumple had a son, y'all! Things that make you go hmmm....
What else do the first eight minutes of the episode tell us?
It's time to meet "The Dark One!"
The episode starts off in fairytale land, where Rumple, a mere farmer who, no face and body glitter, worries over his son's possible drafting into the ogre wars. (Ugh, ogre wars. Hate those.) We also are introduced to a character simply and ominously called 'The Dark One," who is extremely powerful. (We're curious to know why Rumple and Mr. Gold need the assistance of a cane to walk. We're dorks like that.)
And no, Sheriff Graham (Jamie Dornan) does not pop out and, in his adorable Irish accent, say, "You've all been Punk'd! I'm still alive." The episode takes place a few weeks after his passing, as Mr. Gold gives his condolences to Emma (Jennifer Morrison).
To answer your final question: We're taking the loss of our fictional TV boyfriend day-by-day. Yes, we continue to wear black as we're still mourning the loss of his hotness from the show. Let us grieve, people!
Once Upon a Time returns Sunday at 8 p.m. on ABC.

Doctors and caring
The six Cs — care, compassion, competence, commitment, communication and courage — are as important for doctors to remember as nurses
Sir, In her article on compassion on the wards (Opinion, Dec 7), Camilla Cavendish does not mention doctors.
The "six Cs" she refers to — care, compassion, competence, commitment, communication and courage — apply equally to doctors, both GPs and hospital doctors. A doctor who displays these attributes will be more effective in treating patients.
Such a doctor will have a better relationship with patients, which will result in better treatment and care. Unfortunately, not all doctors display these attributes.
In the debate on what is required from the medical profession in the 21st century, let's not forget what we want from doctors.

Denver Nuggets Player: "I Have Two Moms"
I am not a sports fan, so during major playoffs I give a heartfelt "Rah! Go team!" for the team with the coolest name or colors, or that has the most socially awesome players. So expect me to be to saying several prayers to Eleggua and Oshun on behalf of the Denver Nuggets because their star player Kenneth Faried has stated very clearly that he supports LGBTQ rights in this video, saying:
Nobody can ever tell me I can't have two mothers because I really do.

Social Question
How does one back-up ones life? Why would one want to do that?
I would really like to have an efficient way to do both of those things. I cannot remember all my uid's and pwd's for everything now. I do use encrypted software to do it for me. I am 3 years behind in updating my/our will ( with all that that means today). Yada-yada! But I would like to go beyond that, without taking eons of personal time to, probably, create only, something superficial to anyone but myself.
Technology-assisted anthologies of life legacies would be useful , online for the planet. We could all gain. We could all contribute.
The tools we need are different in that they need to be easy, uncorruptible, nontrite, and 'translatable' , not only into other languages, but other lifestyles, as well.
Help me out here. Look ahead. What DO we need? Let the geniuses start working on it!

Rhydallia's Comments

Comments by Date (23)
went thru 187 chests and my all coins with hunter , so switched to lock. On about 80th, got one, not right breed so I bought some more coins and tried again. on about 50ish I got a second one, yea, but decided to use up the keys from the 20 lot I bought. I then got three in a row! So now I have 5, such a shame. Now do I keep them and hope they make it cageable in the future? I would love to share it with friends. The drop rate for Bonkers is Bonkers
I am SO bad at games like HotS but I wanted this cool pet. Actually didn't take long with pack and hp boost. Played a bunch of heros, whatever was free. Did daily q and it took me only 4 days to get this, with not particularly long periods of playing. I almost missed him as he showed up in my bag, not the mailbox. So if he's not in the mail, have a double check of bags.
I thought oh thanks, another peac0ck to add to the others, but this little cutie has a completely different skill set to any of the others. lvld him easily to 25
He also has an amusing animation where he gets down on his knees and begs you. He is a creepy looking little dude, gotta lay off that pink stuff in the bottle! He also appears to be drooling blood from his mouth.
Farmed the BT with 6 of my alts to get these pets, you would think that a boss that has the possibility to drop 3 different pets would give you pretty good odds but this is the only BT pet I don't have in any of the three configurations. The rest of the boss' pets seem to have a better drop!
ahh my dk can have a mini me! Its actions are funny, I had it out and my friend asked, did your pet just fart?
visually this is a really beautiful pet to follow along on a summon.
I snuck in the raid on this final day, figured I better get on with it. Something was wrong with the lfr, avg time was 17 min and I had been in the queue for 1 1/2 hr! Guess Blizz felt sorry for me because I got this little beauty. I also got the helm, so it is possible to get them both as a drop.
A definite go to pet for wiping the floor with elementals! Will take out every trainer elemental in three hits.
I was pleasantly surprised by this drop! I just arrived at the Timeless Isle and found I was spending most of time DEAD. The elementals in the cave were bout the only thing I could kill as a priest with flame buff and pw shield. Didn't know about it and wasn't even sure what I looted!
It levels up easily, the nimbus is perfect lvling pet spell for slotting in something useful, esp if joined with anub idol for his annoying missing demolish!
I wish I had taken this one for the original pick. I have battled this stupid elemental every day for three months and no sign of this missing spirit. I have duplicates of all the others but yet to get one of these. I wonder if Blizz nerfed the drop rate as they used to be cheap on the AH, now they are outrageous.
Agree about taking down the tonk and monkey! I start with Nexus Whelp, time the arcane storm right and monkey can't stun you either. Quicksand and goodbye tonk and monkey. This is a great pet for mechanicals! Some elementals just don't have his clout
Lots of comments how to get him, not much on him as a pet. So I'll add mine, he is an awesome pet! I literally lvl'd him to 25 in 3 hours. At lvl 11, he could actually kill lvl 24-5 critters in Pandaira. Huge bonus xp, and he jumped up quickly. And when he hit 20 and got a healing spell? OMG could this guy get any better! He is officially one of my favourite pets, and he's so cute!
Their location is your one stop shopping place for pet leveling. After doing the trainer whom it is a gift to fast level a lvl one pet to 6 with Jack's first move, you can then go on to eyes. As said they single spawn so perfect for a lowbie to take a shot then switch. They always seem to be plentiful. I've found 2 rares, only come in one build. Bit mean ganging up three against one tho. :)
For all the snow accumulated in the Storm Peaks, why the hell is it never snowing!!!
I got this on my first run to AQ since starting bet battling, didn't even know I had picked him up. Looking at "it" all I can say is "what the heck IS it?"
I found the double rare spawn with a zooey snake just by the Binan Village gate, where the final boss comes for the scenario. Stopped to have a look at the snake and was surprised to see both. But reading how plentiful the rares are, I should have gone with the snake! But the fox was so cute.....
It does pack a punch with mana surge, can kill all three wild pets, but when it does, I've noticed I don't get any XP for it. Anyone else notice that?
This fricking annoying pidgeon! I'm having trouble finding one I can battle, (get off the pillars!)and when I do they have all been poor. Killing them all to respawn. The upside is, everyone I have been able to engage has brought a rare friend! I've had 5 so far.
ETA: finally gave up and just grabbed one, I have better birds to use and this is just for ach. Geeesh!
I am feeling ever so cheeky! There was only one spawn that I could see wandering around inside Valgarde, I snuck in and hid in the graveyard by the wall and when it got close enough I engaged it and it was a rare! Whoot! I was concerned that pvp players can hit you when you are taming but wasn't sure about the guards. Happy to report a troop rode by on horseback while I was taming and nothing happened. Waited til they left before final kill. mounted and left asap!

Testing a Flood Protection Case by Means of a Group Decision Support System
The report discusses an experimental decision-making simulation session applied to a flood protection case study against the backdrop of flood risks reinforced by climate change. A diverse set of interest groups was represented in the session that was facilitated by risk analysts using groupware. The purpose of the session was to test the decision analytic process, to learn about stakeholders? tendencies towards types of solutions and their possible underlying explanations. Therefore quantitative ratings have limited value in this case. The exercise is part of a larger study (TOLERATE) concerning socio-economic impacts of climate change enhanced extreme weather conditions.

Arkansas coach Bobby Petrino's latest contract will pay him an average of $3.56 million per year through the end of 2017, ArkansasNews.com reported late last week.
The deal, signed in March and obtained through a Freedom of Information request, also includes one of the nation's largest known buyouts. It will cost $18 million to break the deal in either of the next two years and $10 million in 2013, 2014 and 2015.
The site reported that Petrino's contract also includes a non-compete clause that prohibits him from working for another SEC school for the length of the deal. Previous contracts had such an arrangement for schools in the SEC West.
Petrino could also benefit from significant incentives, including $300,000 for winning the national title and $100,000 for an SEC crown.
Neither Petrino nor athletic director Jeff Long commented on the contract in the initial report. Expect more from them on the subject at the upcoming league meetings.


text: So ever since i have rooted my phone, when trying to call any 1-800 number (like my bank) I dial the number, hit send and then get one of those recordings, uv2 the number cannot be dialed or something like that. Now i have noticed that after i call a contact...or whoever, i look back in my call log as if i was going to call them again by just pressing the number in the call log and it puts a 1 infront of the number automatically. When dialed like that i get the same recording message. So then i thought that maybe the phone puts the 1 without displaying it when dial the 1-800 numbers. So i try to put the 800 number without the 1, assuming its being added already without my knowledge and it still gives me the same recording message. I can call my friends or other phone numbers fine by just entering the number with area code, but again, if i decide to call that number later without having to look it up and dial again..i go into the call log, locate the number and it now has a 1 infront of it...ok so i press it to dial and then i get the recording message.. what the heck is going on? obviously these two problems are related! So the search begins on how to first identify the problem and resolve it. SO does anyone have any idea what the problem is? where it stems from? Also i am with Telus Mobility ( a canadian carrier ) cheers

'Bones' Season 9 Spoilers: Booth and Brennan 'More Honest With Each Other'
This season of Fox's hit "Bones" has been especially exciting for fans. After the much-anticipated wedding of Booth and Brennan, many are wondering what could be next. "Bones" producer Steven Nathan provided some spoilers about tonight's episode as well as the episodes to come.
Steven Nathan recently sat down for an interview with TV Guide, where he explained that the wedding is the start of something, rather than the end.
"It is a new era, but we never thought [the wedding] was the end," Nathan tells TVGuide.com. "We always felt that the marriage was an integral part of their story, but it wouldn't really compromise the show. These characters are so different -- that's what sustains the show. Now, in a strange way, they are more honest with each other and their differences can be heightened. But they are dealt with as two people who love each other."
On tonight's episode, Brennan will work as a juror. Nathan explains what fans can expect from Brennan in that role.
"There is no juror like Brennan," Nathan says. "You can imagine somebody who feels they're somewhat infallible being on a jury. Most people are mystified by her, as is the judge. While it's very funny, it's also a very difficult process for her and she has to accept things that she has done in the case that she has to resolve."
The producer also explained that audiences can expect to see a softer side of Brennan tonight, when an investigation leads Brennan to interact with a grieving parent.
"Usually, the human aspect of the show -- the understanding -- goes to Booth. But there are some people that only Brennan can understand. She can understand the difficulty these people have. There are people who struggle in a way that Brennan struggles. So, it's particularly emotional to watch that happen," he said.
"Bones" airs tonight on Fox at 8/7c.

Apartment complex near Central Park Plaza sold
A 202-unit East Side apartment complex near the Central Park Plaza has been sold to Buffalo investors Brett Fitzpatrick and Aaron Siegel for $8.57 million.
Siegel and Fitzpatrick acquired the 2.2-acre Amherst Gardens Apartments at 86 East Amherst St. through their Somerset Development Group LLC entity from Chesed Corp., controlled by Yaacov Einhorn of Brooklyn. The sales price equates to about $43,300 per unit.
Einhorn had owned the property for eight years and kept it "very well-maintained," according to broker Cory Haqq of Hastings Cohn Real Estate, who handled the private transaction, which had been in the works for about six months.
That's in stark contrast to the Central Park Plaza itself, whose out-of-town owner had neglected the derelict property for years, allowing conditions to deteriorate until the city finally forced him to sell it. Louis Ciminelli's LPCiminelli bought it, demolished the remaining structures, cleared the sprawling land, and is now working to redevelop it.
"It wasn't a bad situation at all," Haqq said, referring to Amherst Gardens. "It was the right time to sell, the right time for the buyers, more than anything."
Located at Amherst and Holden, about two blocks from Central Park Plaza, the apartment complex consists of 12 two-story garden-style buildings, with a mixture of two-bedroom, one-bedroom and duplex apartment units, with parking. Built in 1949, the 163,820-square-foot complex is more than 90 percent occupied, Haqq said.
Fitzpatrick and Siegel, who also have some smaller investors involved, now plan to inject $1.2 million into improvements to the complex, mainly in kitchens, roofs and plumbing, Siegel said.
"Ninety percent of our holdings are Class A apartments, and we're bringing the same vision here," Siegel said. "We want to make sure all of our tenants have quality housing."
Fitzpatrick, through his Somerset Companies real estate development and management firm, owns and manages 10 apartment communities from Syracuse to Erie, Pa., including one other in Buffalo, three in Lancaster, one in Williamsville and one in Fredonia.
Siegel, a Canisius High School and University at Buffalo graduate and son of prominent Buffalo attorney Herb Siegel, spent 10 years working in financial services in New York City and London, first for HSBC Holdings Plc – including through its executive training program. He then joined Bank of America Corp. after obtaining an MBA from University of Rochester's Simon School of Business.
He returned to Buffalo nine years ago and started a private-equity firm, Franklin Asset Management, to buy and collect on $1 billion in "distressed" consumer debt. But he has since switched gears to focus on real estate investing in partnership with Fitzpatrick, a childhood friend.
The pair already teamed up to buy 79 units in Rochester, as well as Amherst Gardens, and are working on several other deals in the Buffalo market.
"We have a real belief in the East Side of Buffalo as a place to invest dollars, especially in that neighborhood where Ciminelli is constructing his vision," Siegel said. "This was an out-of-town owner and we like the idea of bringing Buffalo assets back to Buffalo-based ownership."

Breaking the Silence Nominated for EU Peace Prize
Breaking the Silence documents testimony of soldiers who served in the West Bank and Gaza; right-wing group calls on parliament members not to let it win award.
Breaking the Silence, which documents testimony of soldiers who served in the West Bank and Gaza, has been nominated for a European Parliament prize for defenders of human rights.
In response, the right-wing Israeli group NGO Monitor has started approaching individual parliament members, asking them not to let Breaking the Silence win the Andrei Sakharov Prize.
Breaking the Silence was founded by army veterans. It collects and publishes soldiers' testimony about human rights violations in the territories.
Two green party blocs in the European Parliament nominated it for the prize.
Parliament member Daniel Cohn-Bendit, president of the European Greens-European Free Alliance and a leader of the 1968 student uprising in Paris, said Breaking the Silence was nominated because "the Greens/EFA group wants to recognize the bravery of all the individuals involved who work to shed light on the injustices of the Israeli occupation and ensure Israeli society does not simply turn a blind eye."
While "Israel is a democracy, it nonetheless takes enormous courage to speak out and break through the taboos and prejudices surrounding the Israeli occupation," he said.
Meanwhile, the right-wing Israeli group NGO Monitor has begun approaching parliament members, asking them not to let the group win the prize.
Prof. Gerald Steinberg, chairman of NGO Monitor, sent a letter to parliament members harshly criticizing Breaking the Silence.
If the organization wins the prize, Israeli will interpret this as "a continuation of the European exploitation of human rights principles in order to advance one-sided, anti-Israeli policies," he wrote.
Breaking the Silence responded that it is "proud to be one of the organizations under attack by Steinberg, which include the European Union itself, Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International."

The Price-Concentration Relationship in Banking
The commonly observed positive correlation between market concentration and profitability may be explained by noncompetitive pricing behavior, as argued by the structure-performance hypothesis, or by the greater efficiency of firms with dominant market shares, as argued by the efficient-structure hypothesis. By examining the price-concentration relationship instead of the profit-concentration relationship, this paper tests the structure-performance hypothesis in a manner that excludes the efficient-structure hypothesis as an alternative explanation of the results. The results strongly support the structure-performance hypothesis and are robust with respect to model specification, measurement of concentration, and econometric technique.
