Miami-Dade Police searched a Palmetto Bay neighborhood with a helicopter and K-9's Sunday after dog-sitters said they caught two men burglarizing a home.
Kathy Hudson said her niece and nephew walked into the house on SW 72nd Court to dog-sit – but quickly realized someone besides the pets was in the house.
"(They) looked over and saw through the house that the glass door had been broken, it's a glass sliding door, so it's huge. So she told her boyfriend, 'get out of the house,'" Hudson said.
They watched one of the burglars jump over the fence onto a white car police say belongs to the thieves. They yelled that they'd write down the tag number, but one of the burglars yanked it off as 22-year-old nephew gave chase, Hudson said.
"He saw there was no gun and he went chasing down through all the yards until he came across a dog and came back," she said.
Police searched a wide area with their dogs and a chopper, which flew repeatedly over nearby Deering Estates.
Miramar Man Shoots At Would-Be Burglars: Police
They eventually called off the search, but said they believe they know who the burglars are based on a key piece of evidence that was left behind.
Neighbors reported that another burglary took place Sunday just down the block.

Manly is lucky enough to be a breeding habitat for Little
Penguins, and is one of the last colonies on the mainland of
Australia! The local population of Little Penguins is around 60
breeding pairs, and they come ashore to nest every night between
July and February. Manly's Little Penguin colony has been listed as
an endangered population, and the local area has been declared a
critical habitat for the population.
Every breeding season, people come to Manly to see the Little
Penguins, and a Volunteer Penguin Warden Scheme was created. The
aim of the Volunteer Penguin Wardens is to ensure that the penguins
can breed in safety, and away from human and dog interference. The
volunteers also educate and inform the public about the penguins,
as well as making sure Council and NPWS regulations regarding dogs,
boating, fishing and other interference with the penguins are

If you are 40 years old, your investment portfolio is likely made up of 60 per cent stocks and 40 per cent bonds. This strategy is based on the idea that the bond portion of your portfolio should equal your age. But is this smart?
If you own a life-cycle fund, this is pretty much how you invest. It assumes that since you are 40, your portfolio should have roughly 60 per cent stocks.
The basic premise makes sense. Stocks outperform bonds, but are more volatile. As you get older, your time horizon shortens and you want more stability.
As my friend and former colleague Jay Kembhavi pointed out to me, this is a classic rule of thumb that doesn't make sense for many people.
Here is the problem - everyone is different. Below are six examples of when the age-equals-bond-weighting strategy might be a poor one:
1) What does the rest of your financial world look like? If you are going to have a defined benefit pension plan and government pensions that cover most of your expenses each month - then your personal investment account should probably be much more aggressive, regardless of your age.
2) What are bond yields? Where are interest rates going? If you are 80 years old, apparently you should have 80 per cent of your portfolio in bonds (or preferred shares or cash). I would suggest that now is a poor point in the cycle to be so overweight bonds - as they offer very low yields and carry interest rate risk. Perhaps 50 per cent might be better, and the stocks can be overweight in utilities.
3) Who is actually going to use the money? We work with many older clients who will likely never use half their portfolio. We can be very conservative with the "needed" part of the portfolio, but why do so with the other funds? Those assets are earmarked for their kids. Even if the client is 75, it is the children's appropriate asset mix that should apply to part of the portfolio.
4) How much risk do you need to take? If someone is 50 years old and trying to play catch up on their financial plan, they can earn more, spend less, and/or take a more aggressive growth strategy with existing assets. In such a case, the person might need to take more investment risk than 50 per cent stocks. On the other hand, a 60 year old might be in a great financial position, and not want to worry about investment markets. They might be able to use annuities and low-growth, low-risk investments and be just fine. No need to have 40 per cent stock exposure.
5) What if I don't want to generate taxable investment income? Maybe my goal is pure growth. What if owning GICs, government bonds and cash is the least tax-efficient investment for me? If I am 75, should I only hold 25 per cent in stocks? Should I have 75 per cent in preferred shares?
6) Are you likely going to be around at age 95 or does your health suggest that you may not make it past 65? While we don't know when we will die, our personal health and genes can give us some clues. Clearly a 60 year old in great health might have a different portfolio than one who is battling a terminal illness.
As we head toward a new year, I would like to leave you with my personal financial wish:
Make 2011 be the year about you - not about the average person, the rule of thumb or the way it is supposed to be done. Make it about your goals, your plans for your children, your worries about your parents, your income, your health, your investments, your career. It all adds up to a unique set of circumstances that deserves specialized attention. Don't be lumped into a "life cycle" investing strategy. Make your financial life your own. Either manage it yourself or work with a professional who will develop and deliver financial solutions built for you.

Letter: Party seeks financial boost
Dear Editor,
The Hudson High School Senior All-Night Party is fast approaching on June 13. While many have given generously for this "safe celebration," there remains a budget shortfall.
The first Senior All-Night Party was held in 1985, with the leadership of several caring Hudson parents including Winkie Coyne and Rozanne Kollitz. The parent-led Senior All-Night Party is a great legacy for our community. Hudson has experienced no graduation night mishap during the last 23 years due to this ongoing event.
The Senior All-Night Party is open to all 2009 graduates of Hudson High School, and the goal is to have over 90 percent of the class in attendance. The 2009 class will be the largest class to graduate from Hudson.
Tim and Diane Zais (co-chairs of the event) are asking for community members or alumni of Hudson High School to consider making a cash contribution to help provide scholarships to the party. Many alumni may remember their experience attending this event -- and any contribution would help.
If you would like to make a financial contribution, please contact Tim or Diane Zais at (715) 386-2746 or mail checks directly to Hudson Senior Grad Party, c/o Tim or Diane Zais, 629 Cherry Circle N., Hudson WI 54016 (please include the year you graduated from HHS).

Things are about to kick-off in Japan, with the 2015 Tokyo Motor Show, and we expect to see some interesting things from the Japanese OEMs there…finally.
One of those items of interest is Kawasaki's next supercharged motorcycle, widely expected to be the Kawasaki Ninja S2 – a 650cc machine with liter-class horsepower figures.
The above is certainly not what we expect the Kawasaki S2 to look like, though it might not be too far off the mark.

Magglio back in lineup, feels fine
Magglio back in lineup, feels fine
MINNEAPOLIS -- After being scratched from Monday's lineup due to soreness in his side, Magglio Ordonez started in right field for the Tigers on Tuesday against the Twins. Ordonez said the pain in his side was caused by a virus he has been dealing with since last week. He said the illness caused aches and pains in his body that made him unable to play in the series opener in Minnesota. "I feel better today, I'm fine today," Ordonez said. "When you're sick, you're body aches."
The outfielder said the virus caused him to have a sore throat that left him barely able to speak on Monday and a fever. He came down with the illness last week when the Tigers were in New York. He went 3-for-20 in the three-game series against the Mets and said he was feeling the effects of the virus at the plate. Manager Jim Leyland waited until just a couple hours before the game to put his outfielder in the lineup, but was pleased to hear Ordonez felt much better and the Tigers could stop worrying about a potential injury to his side.

Hi Joyce, I had some problems with Jigidi yesterday with the loading and layout, back to normal now. I like these navy buildings, all built on a grand scale and now a well used pub. Glad you enjoyed...Sue
Great puzzle, great info. Nice one.......thanks again Sue! :)))(time, 8:04)
Hi Denise and 48. I had similar flowers growing in a big pot because they spread like wild fire if not contained. I'm afraid I don't know the name but probably part of the daisy family. This is a nice looking pub, the building was originally part of the Navel Dockyard and I have a little snippet on it's history 'Built in 1790, The Old Customs House originally served as the headquarters for the HMS Vernon and later the Commandant General Royal Marines'...Sue
Nice bricks on this Building. Flowers beautiful.What are they called? Here we call them the Afrikaans word "vytjies" and they only growin the spring. Thanks Sue
looks inviting Sue! thanks for a colorful and fun puzzle.

Sure, we have to wait until some unknown date in 2009 to see the first of the remaining episodes but all the same, the series will be coming to an end. Fortunately, we have Caprica to look forward to and now it looks like we'll be getting a prequel TV movie to BSG as well!
Scifi Channel announced today that the special event will air next year sometime after the series finale. Similar to the Razor TV movie, the DVD will be released shortly after the movie premieres on Scifi. Here's Scifi's brief description:
"Starting before the events of the miniseries, our story focuses on familiar characters including Cylon Number One, known as Cavil (Stockwell), Resistance Leader Sam T. Anders (Trucco) and Chief Galen Tyrol (Douglas). In the beginning, the Cylons had a plan, but it didn't account for one thing: survivors. During the chaotic aftermath of the destruction, two powerful Cylon agents struggle with plots and priorities on the human ships that got away, and among the resistance fighters who were left behind."
SciFi didn't mention the name of the movie but they did say that Edward James Olmos (who plays Admiral Bill Adama on BSG) will be directing the two-hour event and Jane Espenson will write it. As cool as it is that Olmos is directing, I'm even more excited that Espenson will be writing it. Not only am I a huge fan of her work on Buffy The Vampire Slayer, but I've also loved the episodes she's written for BSG in the past. "The Hub" was one of the best episodes from the first part of this final season of the series.
Sure one could argue that SciFi is making every effort to bank on the popularity of the series for as long as they can but I don't care. I think it's great that in addition to the upcoming new series (also set to premiere sometime next year) Caprica, we'll now have this to look forward to after BSG ends.

Dell has outlined the steps it is taking to comply with the EU's Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) directive ahead of the July 2006 deadline for compliance.
A Dell spokesperson said RoHS compliance is creating one of the biggest challenges facing the PC industry this year, in the form of the removal of lead from motherboards.
"The lead in the printed circuit board is the cement and glue. If you change that it affects every component on the board, and all of your testing (safety, reliability and so one) needs to be re-evaluated," she explained.
Dell intends to ship some three million lead-free motherboards by the end of this year.
The company announced two new OptiPlex systems, both of which, it says, take steps toward compliance with the RoHS directive, by featuring lead-free power supplies, motherboards and chassis.
Dell plans to meet RoHS requirements across the board before the July 2006 deadline. Dell's Restricted Materials Programme also prohibits other restricted materials, like cadmium, and Dell says it already complies with international environmental standards, such as GreenPC and Energy Star.
It has also upped the stakes in its drive to recover and recycle old equipment through its End of Life program. The company says it recovered nearly 30m kilograms of product during fiscal 2004, and aims to increase this by a further 50 percent during fiscal 2006.

Take a look at the new MacArthur Causeway now. It's fast and smooth, for sure. Plenty of room to maneuver through rush hour at velocities well over the 30 mph speed limit. It's also about as boring as a stretch of asphalt can get: all road with just a strip of sod. And if it weren't for some vocal residents who live on the causeway's exclusive bay islands (and a little strategically applied media pressure), that's just what Miami and its bazillions of tourists would be stuck with from now on. A scenic missed opportunity of spectacular proportions.
Fortunately for commuters, though, the state Department of Transportation (DOT) came to its senses last year, right in the middle of the fifteen-month, $15.7 million causeway construction project. Although planners had originally budgeted only a paltry sum to cover rudimentary sodding, state transportation officials responded to public pressure by hiring private landscape architect, Bill Rosenberg. Rosenberg recently completed initial landscaping designs that promise to capture the beauty of the causeway experience and cause any driver to forgive or forget DOT's near disaster.
The plans call for a repeating series of plants that, according to Rosenberg, "create a simple rhythm that extends across the causeway." The median would contain alternating spans of graceful coconut palms underplanted with spider lily, as well as flowering bougainvillea and stately Medjool date palms subtly accented with vibrant purple queen, a low-growing ground cover with fleshy leaves.

Along the north and south sides of the roadway, where DOT has installed three-foot high concrete Jersey barriers and left little room for landscaping, Rosenberg's plans suggest planting railroad vine, a native salt-resistant variety that blooms periodically with lavender flowers. These will cascade over the barriers, subduing their harshness. In addition, the designs call for occasional coconut palms underplanted with Fakahatchee grass along the north side, and mangroves planted on the edge of the shipping channel to the south.
Rosenberg, who will be paid $88,000 for his design labors, made several alterations to his plans over the past two weeks, after he presented them to representatives from the homeowners association of Palm, Hibiscus, and Star islands, and to officials from the City of Miami Beach and DOT. The principal change, requested by the City of Miami Beach, involves replacing the coconut palms with royal palms. "I was thinking of a more informal Art Deco feeling that I thought the coconut palms embody," Rosenberg explains. "But they were looking for something more formal." City officials, the architect adds, were also concerned that coconut palms would require more maintenance. (While the state is going to pick up the tab for the installation of the landscaping, the City of Miami Beach will pay for its maintenance.)
In addition, officials requested that Rosenberg replace the spider lily with raphiolepis, a low-lying green shrub that sports white blooms in spring and fall. The architect has also eliminated the bougainvillea from the plans, for fear it might not stand up to heavy winter winds. Silver buttonwood pruned to three or four feet high will replace it. "The dark green of the raphiolepis will contrast nicely with the silver leaf of the buttonwood," the chiaroscuro-conscious Rosenberg predicts, "and the silver buttonwood will reflect the whitish trunks of the royal palms." Finally, designers dropped the mangroves from the plans altogether: if the mangroves didn't fare well, they would obscure the view; if pruning were necessary, it would run afoul of environmental concerns regarding the trees, which are protected under state law.
Transportation officials plan to hold a public meeting about the $1.5 million landscaping project around the end of April. After weighing any additional input from that meeting, Rosenberg and DOT will finalize the designs by summer. With time out for the usual bureaucratic paper-shuffling, bidding for the landscaping jobs is scheduled to begin in December, groundbreaking by next April. An optimistic DOT spokesman David Fierro, however, thinks transportation officials may be able to accelerate the landscaping schedule, given that the construction phase of the project was finished earlier than expected. In the meantime, though, drivers will have to endure the drab new look of the causeway, and can consider themselves fortunate that it won't always look and feel like

Actually, you can't solve on the iPad at all yet, but Jigidi keeps promising that they're trying to work out an arrangement that will let us. I agree--nothing will make the iPad screen large enough, but it still would be fun be able to solve on it. But I found, when my husband got a really big new iMac, I tried solving on it, and I honestly found it too big! I couldn't keep all of the screen in view, it seemed, and I never went back to it! Weird, right?! :-D
Oh, I'm not sure any fixes for I-pad will help since I am working on a desktop. The screen on this monitor seems small compared to our laptop. However, except for when the "computer" part had to be replaced, for our desktop, in early June I hardly ever use the laptop. It, the laptop, was our newer addition and can do so much more for my husband's activities with his conservation group. He maintains a webpage for their MI chapter. ; )We looked at screens when we got the replacement computer, but decided to wait until there was a "deal." The computer was on sale. ; )
Thanks so much, roseheather--and I know about the screens, because my times are much better on the desktop computer than the laptop. I keep hoping that Jigidi will work out the arrangement with the iPad that it keeps promising, which will mean that I can have fun solving in a lot more locations, but I can imagine what my times will be like on that tiny screen! I don't think that I'll try anything over 100 pieces! :-)))))
Oh, and I really appreciate how much work it takes to create these. I can just take a photo and the system cuts up the photo. But this requires creating, which is no small task. Thank you, I appreciate it.
Well, I did it.Tortoise here: 4:20:04 I think the small screen has an effect. When I can spread them out they practically jump up and say "here I am." Okay, so maybe not, but it is definitely easier to see shapes/colors when they can be spread out. ; )

Cell phones in developing countries encourage "reading without books"
People in the developing world are using their mobile devices to read full length books and stories, according to a new report by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).
The report, Reading in the Mobile Era, found that printed material is a scarce resource that is very difficult to distribute in remote areas.
However, mobile devices have penetrated these areas. The United Nations estimates that about 6 billion people access to a working mobile device of some sort.
Mark West, project officer of UNESCO's mobile learning team, explained to Roni Amelan why people in developing countries are "reading without books".

Spoilers ahead!
A few not-so-shocking giveaways about this week's new movie releases, including Justice League and Frank Serpico
Matthew Lickona 6 p.m., Nov. 17
Jean-Claude van Damme tries out his third Hong Kong director, Tsui Hark, after John Woo (Hard Target) and Ringo Lam (Maximum Risk). He gets tirelessly hard work out of the man (and one outstanding shot, a closeup of van Damme's jiggling eyes as he is running at full tilt), but no sense of proportion and pacing, no sense of the moment. Dennis Rodman, professional basketball player and rebounder nonpareil, is given a chance to show off his dramatic and comedic capabilities as the hero's mercenary ally ("I don't play with the bad boys anymore": one in a steady drip of inside jokes), and is catapulted into contention for any future role that calls for a six-foot-nine-inch African-American with pierced ears and nose, radioactive-fungus hair, and snuffly enunciation. Mickey Rourke, Paul Freeman. 1997.

If you own a mutual fund or if you're thinking about investing in one, perhaps for the first time, the one thing you absolutely need to do is pay attention to fees and expenses.
That's what the experts keep telling us. However, for the novice investor - and that's what most of us are - figuring out how to compare the cost of one mutual fund with another can be as difficult as reading Latin.
But NASD, the private-sector regulator for the securities industry, has introduced a new and improved mutual fund expense analyzer. After using it, I feel like yelling, "Eureka."
NASD's expense analyzer, which can be found at www.nasd.com, replaces a previous version that required investors to manually enter quite a bit information, such as sales charges and operating expenses.
"We thought we had a pretty decent tool out there but it suffered from a couple of problems," said Elisse Walter, NASD's executive vice president for regulatory policy and programs. "Investors had to do too much work."
The online tool now contains up-to-date fee and expense information on practically all of the more than 18,000 mutual funds and 160 Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs), NASD said.
There are several things about this analyzer that should make it the first stop before you invest in a mutual fund. First, it's easy to use.
You don't even have to know the exact name of the mutual fund. You can find the mutual fund you're interested in by using a general fund name, such as American Funds or Calvert Funds or Vanguard Funds. Or you can search for a specific mutual fund by using a key word such as "growth" or "large-cap."
With this tool you can simultaneously compare expenses of up to three ETFs, mutual funds, or share classes of the same mutual fund. The expense analyzer also will estimate and graph a fund's value and expenses up to 20 years.
"You can see very quickly how a small difference in the fees or expenses can cost you a lot of money over years, and you see it in real dollars and cents," Walter said.
Worthwhile tutorial
Do take the time to do the tutorial. The analyzer is fairly self explanatory but there are a few places you may be a little confused. For example, NASD should explain a little better that in the space for "rate of return," investors should type in an estimated return they expect for the funds selected. Obviously for comparison sake, you enter one rate of return. If you put in a rate higher than 10 percent you get a note that says such a rate is above historical market averages.
However, don't worry so much about what return you input.
"It's a hypothetical number anyway since you're always guessing what a fund's performance will be in the future," said John Gannon, NASD's vice president for investor education. "Past performance is no indication of future returns. But the one factor you can control is expenses."
Along with expense and fee information, NASD has a new search tool that will allow investors to research what sales charge discounts, known as breakpoints, and waivers may be available for Class A mutual fund shares.
These breakpoints also can have an impact on your return, Walter said. Mutual funds typically offer sales charge discounts for substantial investments - usually $50,000 or more, NASD points out. The size of the discount typically increases at various breakpoints for instance, at $100,000, $250,000, $500,000 and $1 million.
I know what you're thinking: "I don't need that tool because I don't have that much in a mutual fund." Maybe not now, yet over time your portfolio may grow big enough for such a discount.
'Breakpoint search'
In addition, mutual fund families typically allow a customer to link ownership of different funds in the same mutual fund family to reach a breakpoint amount, and to link purchases of fund shares with shares owned by related persons, such as your spouse, Walter said.
The breakpoint search tool was created specifically because the regulators found that many investors were not receiving breakpoint discounts to which they were entitled. When regulators discovered this, an industrywide refund program was implemented and a number of enforcement actions were handed down by NASD and the Securities and Exchange Commission. NASD said its crackdown has led to more than $130 million in restitution to investors who had not received their breakpoint discounts.
Here's the thing: More than 50 million American households have money in mutual funds. What NASD has done is to go beyond just telling investors they need to scrutinize fees and expenses before investing in mutual funds.
The regulator has provided a much needed tool to help people put that advice to action. And there's another major plus to NASD's expense analyzer.
"It's a neutral source of information from somebody whose job it is to protect investors," Walter said.
So get to analyzing. You'll find that fees do matter.

The establishment tilt of Face the Nation
"Face the Nation: My Favorite Stories From the First 50 Years of the Award-Winning News Broadcast"
By Bob Schieffer
Simon & Schuster
240 pages; $26.95
Book review by Carl Sessions Stepp
Carl Sessions Stepp (email@example.com) began writing for his hometown paper, the Marlboro Herald-Advocate in Bennettsville, South Carolina, in 1963, after his freshman year in high school. He studied journalism at the University of South Carolina, where he edited The Gamecock.
After college, he worked for the St. Petersburg Times and the Charlotte Observer before becoming the first national editor at USA Today in 1982. In 1983, he joined the University of Maryland journalism faculty full time.
In the ensuing 30 years, he also has served as senior editor and book reviewer for AJR, writing dozens of pieces. He has been a visiting writing and editing coach for news organizations in more than 30 states.
Bob Schieffer is an old-fashioned kind of journalist who writes fondly about old-fashioned TV values and a program that has long exemplified them. He is upbeat and public-minded, proud of the broadcast he has hosted for 13 years, and eager to show off its memorable moments.
By the end of the book, though, you may find yourself growing less and less certain that these golden-age journalistic virtues live up to their romanticized glow.
Schieffer writes on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of "Face the Nation," which premiered on CBS on November 7, 1954. The program has certainly had its moments, recalled here in words, pictures and a DVD that accompanies the book.
Its 1957 interview with Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev, at the peak of the Cold War, brought a Kremlin leader directly into American living rooms for the first time. The very idea brought criticism from some officials that CBS was spreading Communist propaganda.
Two years later, the network nabbed a Havana interview with Fidel Castro, whose bodyguards kept a carbine trained on the producer as Castro "flatly denied he was a Communist."
A 1986 interview with Secretary of State George Shultz produced a stunning exchange in which Shultz seemed to rebuke his own boss, President Reagan, for trading arms for hostages.
Schieffer, a respected reporter who trained in print at the Fort Worth Star-Telegram and joined CBS in 1969, touts the program for its "serious discussion and analysis and no sound effects." On "Face the Nation," he writes, "The food fights and the shouting matches that mark the prime-time cable programs are rare occurrences... Sunday morning is the smartest morning on television--a time when serious ideas can be discussed at some length in serious ways."
This is true and admirable, but as the book moves along, something begins to nag at you: how often the Washington establishment press swallows the Washington establishment line.
The serious talk can drift into an exaggerated mutual courtesy bordering on chumminess, an air of inside-the-
Beltway in-the-knowness afflicting both journalists and their "guests." Ideas outside current conventional wisdom get little attention.
In 1957, for example, the year President Eisenhower mobilized federal troops to enforce integration in Arkansas, "Face the Nation" questions seemed more focused on whether a local newspaper editor was pushing too hard for civil rights than on whether local officials were illegally resisting.
When Martin Luther King Jr. first appeared on the show in 1964, interviewers "asked more questions about alleged infiltration of Communists in the civil rights movement than they did about the pending [civil rights] legislation."
Vietnam provided a more dramatic case. "Reading the transcripts of the 'Face the Nation' broadcasts of that era is a sobering experience," Schieffer writes. "In the early years of the war, the transcripts show that U.S. officials who appeared on the broadcast had little or no understanding about what was happening in Vietnam... They often misrepresented what they knew to be the truth, or they simply lied."
Under such circumstances, journalists often couldn't or didn't effectively challenge the politicians' spin. Interviewers often seemed more fixed on defending American policy than questioning it. On the day the New York Times published the Pentagon Papers in 1971, in what Schieffer terms "one of the most embarrassing Sundays in the history of the broadcast," "Face the Nation" hosted Secretary of Defense Melvin Laird--and asked him nothing about the papers and their devastating backstage look at U.S. policymaking.
Similarly, programs on Iraq showed less focus on the legality and propriety of invading a sovereign nation and more on jingoism and dramatic battlefield reports.
In a telling scene, Schieffer writes of hosting then-candidate George W. Bush, with his promises of "uniting people and setting an agenda that is hopeful and optimistic" and of rejecting the politics of "pitting one group of people against another." Afterward, Schieffer reports, "I congratulated him... I thought he had said exactly what needed to be said."
As Schieffer adds, Bush soon shifted from building consensus to catering to his party's right wing. But the sloganeering had been done and the press had fallen for it. The whole incident suggests a worrisome coziness between Washington's officialdom and its informal press ministry.
It is not fair to drop this full load on the shoulders of Bob Schieffer and "Face the Nation," professionals upholding public service journalism against the odds. They have a lot to be proud of. But, reading the evidence of the past half century, it is also clear that the Washington establishment and its press have a lot to answer for.
Stepp, an AJR senior editor, teaches at the Philip Merrill College of Journalism at the University of Maryland.

The Division of Allergic Diseases of the Mayo Clinic specializes in the diagnoses and treatment of angioedema and urticaria.
Urticaria is the medical term for hives. Hives are pale red swellings of the skin that occur in groups on any part of the skin. Angioedema is a swelling similar to urticaria, but the swelling is beneath the skin rather than on the surface. Urticaria and angioedema often occur together. There are also many classifications of urticaria and angioedema including acute, chronic, physical, urticaria with vasculitis, hereditary angioedema and acquired C1 esterase inhibitor-deficiency.
Diagnosis and treatment of angioedema and urticaria is done by a compressive history and physical examination as well as appropriate laboratory testing and referral to other specialists as needed.
Patients can be followed as needed by appointments in the Division of Allergic Diseases.

San Francisco Bay area home prices hit a four-year high in June due in part to a shift in the market that saw foreclosures wane and buyers snap up costlier residences, a research firm said Wednesday.
The median price for new and existing homes and condominiums in the nine-county region reached $417,000 in June, up more than 10 percent from the same period last year, DataQuick said.
Last month's median was the highest since it was $447,000 in August 2008. However, the median price is still well off its peak of $665,000 in mid-2007.
Home sales last month jumped to nearly 8,600, up 7 percent from the same period last year.
"Some of today's stats are similar to what we saw in the thick of the housing downturn back in 2009, only in reverse: Instead of foreclosure re-sales soaring they're waning, and instead of high-end sales slumping they're posting some of the larger sales gains," DataQuick president John Walsh said.
He added that last month's jump in the median sale price might to some extent reflect prices edging a bit higher in certain markets, but it's mostly a reflection of the change in market mix.
The market is also being helped by slightly improved mortgage availability and ultra-low interest rates, the firm said.
Home sales in the region increased on a year-over-year basis for the 12th month in a row.

Meetings with costly participation
We study a collective decision-making process in which people who are interested in an issue are invited to attend a meeting, and the policy chosen is a compromise among the preferences of those who show up. We show that in an equilibrium the number of attendees is small and their positions are extreme; in a wide range of circumstances the outcome is random. These characteristics of an equilibrium are consistent with evidence on the outcome of hearings on US regulatory policy.

I need two old fillings replaced, one amalgum and one white, both moelars. The white is by far the newest but has eroded away, I'm thinking of going back to amalgum and these appear to last much longer??
Chat Forum
Dentist's - whats the best tooth filling?
I have white fillings including on molars that I far prefer to amalgam ones - I guess there are different white types. Personally I hate amalgum ones - they never "feel right"
Gold inset with diamonds every time,is there any other type avaiable?
Amalgam will last longer than the old "white" ones. I'm pretty sure there are some much more advanced materials used now though - I've got a nice white one that seems to be last well. Bit more expensive but worth it in the long run I guess.
do they still do amalgam ? (i thought mercury was a bit frowned upon these days)
I did some research on internet of course, and there is nothing to suggest the mercury levels are in any way harmful.
How much have white filling material changed in 7-8 years if at all?
That's the age of the one that needs to be replaced!
The issue with amalgam was that poor mixing techniques meant that tiny beads of mercury wouldn't mix and if exposed through wear and tear would get into the body via the gut. todays mixing techniques are far more thorough. White fillings have possible issues of leaching estrogen so they're far from perfect...
Estrogen! So white fillings could impair my map reading abilities?
Depends depends depends
Best = gold (no really)
Amalgam is much less technique sensitive when being placed and generally lasts longer with fewer complications. Better for big/deep fillings in back teeth.
White ones are improving all the time (as are the methods of placing them which are critical)but still wear more and are more prone to leaking. And just because they're white doesn't mean they're 'clean' Ok for smaller fills in back teeth or situations where their adhesive properties are useful.

Wrong wording. In fact, I also to plant RNASeq de-novo assembly now (oh the fun). Let me rephrase my statement. I think that MIRA is suited for de-novo assemblies with - Sanger reads: 5 to 10 million - 454 reads: 5 to 20 million - Ion Torrent reads: 5 to 20 million - Solexa reads: 15 to 30 million (perhaps 50), provided the coverage is <= 80x to 100x PacBio is not yet in the list above, I need more data to give good estimates. The above is usually OK for prokaryots and most lower eukaryots, however most plants and higher eukaryotes need larger data sets for de-novo. Artemus had 165 million Solexas for his assembly ... and there I have the distinct feeling that MIRA will choke at one point or another. Best, Bastien

Analytic versus Holistic Grading
As the Decision Time story on page 186 of our textbook illustrates, there is quite the debate about whether to use analytic or holistic grading for constructed-response assessments (such as essay questions).
Please review the Decision Time story as well as the information on analytic versus holistic grading on pages 191-194 in the textbook.
Next, please answer the following questions:
- If you were tasked with grading a set of essay tests, which approach would you use if you could only choose one: analytic or holistic? On what basis did you make your choice?
- Do you think that teachers should be required to use both approaches for the same set of test papers? Why or why not?Text: Classroom Assessment 7th Edition

Southland Female Junior Golfers To Again Play With KNC Champions At The 2014 Kraft Nabisco Championship
Feb 03, 2014, 16:51 ET from Southern California Golf Association
STUDIO CITY, Calif., Feb. 3, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- For the third straight year, top California female junior golfers will be paired with LPGA legends for an inspirational round of golf on Monday, March 31 as part of Kraft Nabisco Championship week at Mission Hills Country Club in Rancho Mirage. The KNC Champions Junior Challenge will reward the junior low amateur at the event with a sponsor's invitation to play in the 2014 Kraft Nabisco Championship, one of the LPGA Tour's five major championships, April 3-6. Champions already confirmed for the event include Annika Sorenstam and Nancy Lopez.
"We are thrilled to once again partner with the Kraft Nabisco Championship and provide Southland girls with this kind of unique opportunity," said SCGA Youth on Course Executive Director Kevin Gigax. "Over the past two years, a number of iconic KNC Legends and incredible junior golfers have participated in this event, which for many is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Once again, the Junior Challenge will showcase the best junior girls in the state, provide legends the opportunity to share the game and its values with the younger generation, and inspire girls to continue to pursue their dreams in golf."
The juniors participating in the KNC Champions Junior Challenge, formerly known as the Legends Junior Challenge, will be chosen by a selection committee led by SCGA Youth on Course, which will also supply tournament administration support for the event. The event will be played on the Arnold Palmer Course and, for the first time in its three-year existence, include junior girls from all of California, not just the Southern region.
"It is an honor to again partner with the SCGA on such a unique event," said KNC Tournament Director Gabe Codding. "In the 42-year history of the Kraft Nabisco, 32 women have emerged as champions, 12 of which are World Golf Hall of Fame members. Giving girls ages 13–18 the chance to meet and be mentored by the former Kraft Nabisco Championship winners is something really special."
Last year, Angel Yin of Arcadia fired a 5-under par 67 to win the Junior Challenge at age 14. She was coached by World Golf Hall of Fame member Donna Caponi. Yin went on to make the cut and finish T55 in the Kraft Nabisco Championship.
Junior applicants will be evaluated based on their golf resumes and their community and leadership involvement. Those interested in applying may learn more at scga.org/champions.
About SCGA Youth on Course
The mission of SCGA Youth on Course is to promote the education and character development of Southern California youth through golf. Through its programs, SCGA Youth on Course focuses its efforts on creating affordable access to golf, instilling integrity and responsibility in youth through the game and providing educational opportunities for youth from fifth grade to college.

About the Kraft Nabisco Championship
The Kraft Nabisco Championship is golf's first major and one of the LPGA Tour's most prestigious events. Founded in 1972 by David Foster and Dinah Shore, the Kraft Nabisco Championship earned the designation as a major tournament in 1983. Contested at Mission Hills Country Club in Rancho Mirage, Calif., since its inception, the Championship holds the distinction of being the second oldest golf tournament continuously held at the same course. For many, the event is most distinguished by one of golf's most beloved traditions: the champion's leap into Poppie's Pond, located adjacent to the 18th green. In 1988, the first champion's leap into Poppie's Pond was taken by Amy Alcott, and since has become one of the most anticipated and memorable traditions in golf. For more information on the Kraft Nabisco Championship, please visit www.KNCGolf.com or call 760-324-4546.

AUSTIN, Texas, Oct. 19 (UPI) -- U.S. teens who delay having sex may have more satisfying romantic relationships in adulthood, but were less likely to get married, researchers say.
Paige Harden of The University of Texas at Austin said the study found those who had a later first sexual experience were less likely to be married and had fewer romantic partners in adulthood.
Harden said it's possible people who have their first sexual encounter later might be pickier in choosing romantic and sexual partners, but more research is needed.
"Most people experience their first intimate relationships when they are teenagers, but few studies have examined how these adolescent experiences are related to marital relationships in adulthood," Harden said in a statement.
Harden and colleagues used data from the National Longitudinal Study on Adolescent Health to look at 1,659 same-sex sibling pairs who were tracked from around age 16 to about age 29. Each sibling was classified as having early sex at age 15 or younger, having sex on-time at ages 15-19, or having sex late at age 19 and older.
The study, to be published in the journal Psychological Science, found among the participants who were married or living with a partner, people with later sexual initiation were more likely to say that they were happy with the way they and their partners handled conflict, that their partners showed them love and affection and that they enjoyed doing day-to-day things with their partners.

What they said: Tiger WoodsMarch 03, 2012
PGA TOUR staff
MORE INTERVIEWS: The Honda Classic transcript archive
Q. Not a single wayward shot, but the wind got you a couple of times; what's your assessment??
TIGER WOODS: I was close to putting a low one up there today. I felt like it could be had, I could make a run and post, what, 5-under par for the day or something like that and get myself within reach, hope the leaders came back to me. But right now, I hope that's the case. Right now Rory is playing some great golf and I'm eight back as of right now.
Q. It got tougher as the day went on, when did it really start to hit you??
TIGER WOODS: Probably around 4 and 5 it started picking up. Stayed steady once we got to 9, and once we got to the back nine it was whipping out there. 15 and 17 are no fun today.
Q. I don't know if you heard; there is a 61 out there, though.
TIGER WOODS: Yeah, you know what, I shot 61, but I just needed more holes. If I had stayed at 15, I would have been fine.
Q. Talk about your round a little bit.
TIGER WOODS: Close to hitting a good one today. I hit it good. I putted good. Boy, it was really close to being a really low round today.
Q. You had four putts outside seven feet today by the 10th hole and things seemed to cool off and you didn't have the same opportunities. How would you assess your putting??
TIGER WOODS: I putted great today. By the time we got to the back nine it was whipping and it's really hard to stay steady. I was just like Westy and I were talking about it; it's hard to stay steady and hit the ball on the correct line.
The guys are going to have a little bit of a challenge. That back nine is not playing easy. But the thing is, the wind is not consistent. It's blowing, but it's changing directions a little bit out there. So it's tough.
Q. How would you characterize your patience right now with your game??
TIGER WOODS: Very. I feel very good with that.
Q. Is that one of the hardest things for you at this point is to not force it? That's always been a hallmark of yours, to be patient; when you see yourself several shots behind, not going at pins or whatever it takes to stay patient?
TIGER WOODS: Well, on a golf course like this, I felt like I have to be patient. I can't get out there and get ahead of myself and fire at every flag. This golf course doesn't lend itself to that.
Plus, you never know with tomorrow. The finishing holes here, with the wind is supposed to switch directions tomorrow, anything can happen around this place, and you just need to be around the lead and hopefully tomorrow, if I can get off to a good start tomorrow, get myself somewhere up there, you just never know.
15 and 17 are not playing easy today. You have to throw the ball out over that water, and a slight cut -- not the easiest chip shot and tomorrow the wind is supposed to witch to the other direction.
Q. Is there particular one thing holding you back, you had the 34 putts the other day and today you say you're putting better; is there any one thing??
TIGER WOODS: No, it's not just one thing -- it is what it is.
Q. Rory has a chance to get to No. 1 -- inaudible -- when you were 22 -- when you look at him, how does he compare??
TIGER WOODS: At the time I was making some changes in my game at 22. That was '98. I think I only won, what, once that year, and then once in the beginning of '99 somewhere. But then I got rolling at the end of '99 from May on. So 23, 24, I had some pretty good years there.
Q. What do you think of Rory and his game??
TIGER WOODS: You watch him -- I played with him in Abu Dhabi the first two days. He's still learning. He's developed a lot but also he's got a lot to learn, too, which anyone that age, they are -- even a guy like Ryo who has won professional golf tournaments since he was 16 or something like that, he's been out here for a long time, but still, he's still learning. They are still very young.
Q. Are you still learning??
TIGER WOODS: We're all learning.
Q. What's it like walking around out there and seeing your daughter outside the ropes saying "Hi Daddy?"
TIGER WOODS: That's pretty neat.

(PhysOrg.com) -- A new study has found that Formosan macaque monkeys prefer to keep their "words" short, using long vocalizations only occasionally.
Humans also predominantly use short words that do not take much time to say, such as "of", "a", "it", "or", and "the". The relationship between how often a word is used and its length is known as the law of brevity, and the fact that monkeys follow the same law may shed some light on the origins of human speech.
The scientists, led by Dr Stuart Semple of the Roehampton University in London, U.K., said the law of brevity, which appears to apply to all languages, means the words used most often are short, while the words used least often are long, and this makes communication more efficient. Dr Semple and his team wanted to see if the same rule would apply to other animals, and to find out, they studied macaques (Macaca cyclopsis) living on Mount Longevity in Taiwan. The macaques were chosen because they are known for their extensive use of vocal communication.
Formosan macaques have 35 calls of varying duration, and the scientists studied the relationship between the call duration and how often the call was used. The exact meanings of the calls are so far unknown, but they include greetings, screams and whines. The researchers found that the calls most often used were very short, while the longer calls, such as whines, were rarely heard.
Dr Semple said this was the first time the law of brevity had been observed in non-human vocal communications, but it makes sense because keeping conversations short saves time and energy and also avoids drawing the attention of potential predators. The observations also suggest that the common primate ancestor could also have followed the law of brevity, which reveals more about why humans also communicate in this way.
The scientists plan to follow up their research by studying other species, including non-primates, to see if they also keep their vocal communications short.
The paper is published in the journal of the Royal Society, Biology Letters.

Senate Takes up Data Security Law
June 16, 2005[From internetnews.com]
With growing evidence that Americans want new data privacy laws, the U.S. Senate opens a series of hearing today on legislative solutions to data breaches and identity theft.
Thursday's full Senate Commerce Committee hearing will not specifically address any of the several bills introduced in the 109th Congress, which combat identity theft and force data brokers to disclose breaches of personal information to consumers.
Instead, the panel will hear from all five members of the Federal Trade Commission, which most likely would be charged with enforcing any new data privacy laws. Vermont Attorney General William Sorrell will also be representing the National Association of Attorneys General.

A decades-old kidnapping case was reopened recently in light of new evidence.
Investigators received new leads regarding the case of 9-year-old Etan Patz.
Othniel Miller, 75, was seen with Patz the night before his disappearance from the SoHo neighborhood in Manhattan.
Etan disappeared on May 25, 1979, while walking alone to his school bus which was two blocks from his home. Miller's workshop is located in the same path.
According to FoxNews, the FBI is investigating the basement where a suspicious stain was found last week. The substance was found to be an "organic substance", possibly blood. The basement was a part of Miller's workspace.
Evidence of the stain was sent out for testing while investigators continue to search the basement. About 50 percent of the basement have been removed.
A source told FoxNews that a molestation claim prompted police to pursue evidence that may point to Miller as a "person of interest" in the 1979 kidnapping. In addition to clues that may point to Miller, his ex-wife admitted to police last year that Miller sexually assaulted her 10-year-old niece a few years after Etan's disappearance which led to their divorce.
After a cadaver-sniffing dog picked up a scent in the basement, investigators ripped up the basement's concrete floors.
Law enforcement officials have remained mum about what have been uncovered so far.
The Patz family have stayed in the same apartment for 33 years hoping that Etan would some day come back. They have declined to comment on the investigation, posting a note outside of their door.
"To the hardworking and patient media people, the answer to all your questions at this time is no comment. Please stop ringing our bell and calling our phone for interviews. Stan Patz, 3E."

More than a dozen University of Georgia athletes have run afoul of a minor NCAA regulation and have been punished by UGA officials, who say they have taken steps to prevent this problem from occurring again.
Between July and December of last year, 16 current University of Georgia football players charged at least $872 in fraudulent long distance telephone calls using a telephone access code belonging to a university employee.
On Monday, UGA officials announced that seven football players, who had charged more than $50 in phone calls, would miss either the first or second game of the upcoming season and pay the university restitution. The other nine players charged less than $50 and would have to serve community service and pay restitution.
Since this kind of violation is tantamount to stealing, we believe that the punishments are appropriate and should send a message that might prevent similar abuses in the future.
This type of incident has become so common that the NCAA recently instituted mandatory punishments based on the severity of the violation.
One of the most severe cases occurred in 1995 when at least 48 University of Tennessee athletes made more than 17,000 unauthorized calls over a three-year period that totaled more than $25,000.
While UGA's violation was not as extensive as Tennessee's it also was not allowed to go unchecked nearly as long either. To their credit, athletic department officials caught the unauthorized charges early and were able to halt the problem before it got out of hand. The university has also reported that steps have been taken to tighten security measures with the telephone access codes.
We urge UGA athletic officials to continue to guard against these kinds of incidents. We also suggest that they keep educating student athletes about the penalties that go along with these kinds of violations and the impact that they could have on their athletic careers.
