[High-end Strength] 1Q 2012 Westchester & Putnam Sales Report
Posted by Jonathan J. Miller -Thursday, April 12, 2012, 10:55 AM
Comments Off
We published our report on Westchester/Putnam market sales for 1Q 2012 this morning. I've been authoring this report series for Douglas Elliman since 1994 and added this regional report about a year ago (but have about 30 years of historical behind it).
The market was a mixed bag this quarter. Weak but trying to stabilize. Overall prices trended lower but the luxury market posted strong gains over the same period last year. Inventory edged higher but was offset by sales rising enough to keep the monthly absorption rate unchanged. We expect inventory to expand over the next few years as foreclosures enter the market after last year's robo-signing scandal held them off the market.
Here's an excerpt from the report:
There were 1,277 sales in the first quarter, 1.8% more than 1,254 sales in the same period last year. The market share for 1-family properties expanded to 59.1% from 57.5% over the same period. Condo market share edged up to 14.7% of all sales from 14.4% in the prior year quarter. Co-ops and 2-4-family properties declined over the same period to a 5.6% and 20.5% market share, respectively. In the 1-family market, the Northeast and South-Central regions showed large gains in market share of sales over the past year, while the remaining four regions experienced declines in market share.
I've got a tool to build custom data tables on the Westchester and Putnam markets. I haven't added charts for this region yet but they are coming. In the meantime you can see other market areas and some other generally cool housing market charts (IMHO).

Community mourns a friend's passing
Bernie Zupancich, the beloved owner of Zups Grocery in Silver Bay, died Nov. 8 after suffering a stroke. He was 71.By: News-Chronicle, Lake County News Chronicle
Bernie Zupancich, the beloved owner of Zups Grocery in Silver Bay, died Nov. 8 after suffering a stroke. He was 71.
"He knew hundreds of people and they are very sad to hear the news," his friend Kathy Soderstrom said.
"He greeted everybody with a smile," she continued. "The little kids, he just always patted kids on the head, and said hello. Babies loved him, babies would just smile when he talked to them. He would always ask them if they were ready to eat steak."
His family was at his side at the time of his passing, which they described as peaceful.
"He was in little to no pain," said his son, Brian Zupancich, noting his boundless energy running the grocery store. "He would walk around faster, doing stuff than any of us."
Silver Bay Mayor Scott Johnson was also impressed by Zupancich's work ethic.
"Any of us should be as hard a worker as Bernie was," Johnson said, adding: "He was probably one of the most giving people I have ever known … He probably gave to, and either donated time and or efforts to almost every cause in town."
Born in Ely on June 14, 1941, Zupancich was president of the family-owned Zupancich Corporation, which operates six area grocery stores, and was also a part-owner of the Americinn Hotel in Silver Bay, according to his obituary in the Duluth News Tribune.
He graduated from high school in Ely in 1959 and attended junior college in that city, where he also worked at the family's grocery store. He married Sandra Leslie Elfving in 1963 and the next year became manager of the Silver Bay store.
Zupancich served on many board and received accolades from the cities of Silver Bay, Beaver Bay and Finland, as well as the Red Cross and many other organizations, according to his obituary. He was voted Lake County's Man of the Year, the Blue Line Club Fan of the Year and also the "M" Club Fan of the Year. He was a member of St. Mary's Catholic Church in Silver Bay and loved to hunt, fish, bowl, golf, play cards and attend high school sporting events.
Zupancich was preceded in death by his parents, his brother Edward, mother-in-law Eileen Elfving, and a brother-in-law, Joe Jamnick. He is survived by his wife, Sandra, his son, Brian (Theresa) of Silver Bay; three siblings, Theresa Jamnick of Ely, Paul (Pat) of Ely, Robert (Deb) of Ely; a sister-in-law Judith Zupancich of Silver Bay, and numerous nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
The public is welcome to attend his funeral service at St. Mary's Catholic Church in Silver Bay on Sat., Nov. 17, at 11 a.m., with visitation at 10. To sign the on-line register book please visit www.cavallinfuneralhome.com
"He would do anything for anybody at any time," Wade LeBlanc, a friend said. "He was just a good, good man."

KTRS News
ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) -- The Los Angeles Angels were confident about extending their winning streak to eight games, which would have matched their longest of the season. Jerome Williams didn't give them much of a chance.
Williams was charged with seven runs, four hits and four walks in just 1 2-3 innings of a 12-2 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals on Wednesday night. The right-hander had not given up more than three bases on balls in any of his previous 17 starts.
"I think Jerome had a good idea of what he wanted to do going into the game, but I think he tried to get a little bit too fine," manager Mike Scioscia said. "They've got some guys over there that are swinging the bat well. In the second inning, I don't know if it was a situation where he really felt comfortable putting the ball in some areas and he tried to get a little too fine, especially early in the count and he got behind some guys."
Jon Jay had three RBIs, including a two-run homer off center fielder Mike Trout's glove during St. Louis' seven-run second inning. Matt Carpenter, batting leadoff in front of Jay, also homered and drove in three runs to help keep the Cardinals two games behind Pittsburgh in the NL Central.
One night after the Angels scored all of their runs in the second inning of a series-opening 5-1 victory, the Cardinals sent 12 men to the plate in the second after Williams had set them down 1-2-3 in the first.
"In the first inning he looked sharp, had good velocity and really good action on his sinker," Scioscia said. "At the start of the second inning he looked a little bit tentative, and the walks obviously compounded that inning. He just couldn't minimize the damage and the inning got away from him."
The seven-run rally included a two-run double by David Descalso, and a two-run homer by Jay that Trout had in his glove for an instant before it popped out as his arm made contact with the top of the fence.
Yadier Molina, who raised his NL-leading average to .352 after going 3 for 4 with a walk, greeted Garrett Richards with an RBI single that delivered the seventh run.
After Hank Conger's two-run homer in the bottom half, David Freese scored an unearned run in the Cardinals' third when Richards mishandled a throw from first baseman Mark Trumbo on Carpenter's two-out grounder behind the bag.
St. Louis increased the margin to 10-2 in the fifth on a run-scoring, ground-rule double by Carpenter and an RBI single by Jay, who had driven in only one run in his previous 35 at-bats coming in. It was only his second game this season with three or more RBIs, the other on May 4 when he had four at Milwaukee.
Carpenter ended the scoring in the eighth with his eighth homer, a solo shot off Billy Buckner.
"After winning that many in a row, you almost always think you're due for a butt-kicking," Angels right fielder Josh Hamilton said. "You'd rather lose one like this than a really close one, but you've got to put it behind you."
The Cardinals scored one more run than the Angels had allowed in their previous six games combined.
"Matt Carpenter sets the tone for us, and he had a terrific game," manager Mike Matheny said. "He put together good at-bats and he doesn't give any away. It was also nice to see John Jay have some real nice at-bats. We need to get him going, and today was a real good indicator that he's on the right path. He's been making some adjustments that are allowing him to have good at-bats, and it worked out for him today."
Shelby Miller (9-6) struck out six over six innings and allowed five hits. The right-hander was coming off back-to-back losses against two other AL West clubs, including a 6-1 defeat last Friday at Oakland in which he lasted only 1 2-3 innings and gave up five runs.
"I wouldn't say I was any fresher tonight," Miller said. "I mean, I threw 51 pitches in the second inning at Oakland and that's going to wear your arm down moreso than going eight innings and throwing 100 pitches. But I felt strong, so I basically wanted to try to go deep in the ballgame."
NOTES: Matheny caught Williams when they were teammates in San Francisco during the 2005 season. ... The Angels have committed 61 errors, the second-most in the AL. The Cardinals have made 34, the fewest in the NL. ... Howie Kendrick's 102 hits are the most by an Angels second baseman before the All-Star break. ... St. Louis LF Matt Holliday didn't play for the second straight night because of a pinched nerve in his neck. ... Cardinals ace Adam Wainwright was named the NL pitcher of the month for June after going 4-2 with a 1.77 ERA in six starts, including complete-game 7-1 victories over San Francisco and Oakland. ... Molina was back in the fifth spot in the batting order, after hitting in the two hole the previous six games and going 7 for 25 with a homer and three RBIs. ... Cardinals LF Allen Craig drew three walks in the first four innings, matching the total he had in 116 plate appearances over his previous 28 games. He has 18 this season in 338 plate appearances.
ST. LOUIS – St. Louis Blues Executive Vice President and General Manager Doug Armstrong announced today the club has agreed to terms with defenseman Jordan Leopold on a two-year contract.
Leopold, 32, posted two assists in 15 regular season games with the Blues after the club acquired him from Buffalo on Mar. 31 last season. In addition, Leopold dressed in all six games for the Blues during the 2013 Stanley Cup Playoffs.
Overall, the 6'1, 206-pound defenseman has appeared in 10 National Hockey League (NHL) seasons including stints with Calgary, Colorado, Florida, Pittsburgh, Buffalo and St. Louis. For his career, Leopold has registered 204 points (65 goals, 139 assists) and 268 penalty minutes in 625 regular season games as well as 16 assists in 65 postseason games.
The Golden Valley, Minnesota native was originally drafted by Anaheim in the 2nd round (44th overall) of the 1999 Entry Draft.
Wednesday, 03 July 2013 09:17 Published in National NewsCAIRO (AP) — Egypt's military moved to tighten its control on key institutions Wednesday, even putting officers in the newsroom of state TV, in preparation for an almost certain push to remove the country's Islamist president when an afternoon ultimatum expires.
Mohammed Morsi, sworn in a year ago as Egypt's first freely elected president, has vowed not to step down in the face of millions of protesters in the streets in the biggest anti-government rallies the country has seen.
His Islamist supporters have vowed to resist what they call a coup against democracy, and have also taken to the streets by the tens of thousands. At least 39 people have been killed in clashes since Sunday, raising fears the crisis could further explode into violence
The clock was ticking on the military's deadline, expiring around 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. (1400-1500 GMT, 10 a.m.-11 a.m. EDT).
The military beefed up its presence inside the mammoth headquarters of state television on the banks of the Nile River in central Cairo. Crack troops were deployed in news-production areas. Officers from the army's media department moved inside the newsroom and were monitoring output, though not yet interfering, staffers said, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk about the arrangements.
The state TV is run by the information minister, a Muslim Brotherhood member put in the post by Morsi, and its coverage had largely been in favor of the government. But already in the past two days, the coverage saw a marked shift, with more balanced reporting showing the anti-Morsi protests along with pro-Morsi ones. State radio has seen a similar shift.
The authoritative, state-run Al-Ahram newspaper — which also seemed to be following a military line — reported that the military had placed several leaders of Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood under surveillance and issued a foreign travel ban on the Islamist group's top leaders.
The head of the army, Defense Minsiter Gen. Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, held a group meeting with leading reform advocate Mohammed ElBaradei, Egypt's top Muslim cleric — Al-Azhar Sheik Ahmed el-Tayeb — and Coptic Pope Tawadros II to discuss its political road map, a spokesman for the senior opposition National Democratic Front, Khaled Daoud, said on state TV.
Also attending the meeting were a representative of the new youth movement behind this week's protests and some members of the ultraconservative Salafi movements, a defense ministry official told The Associated Press. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media.
Under a plan leaked to state media, the military would install a new interim leadership, the Islamist-backed constitution suspended and the Islamist-dominated parliament dissolved.
Even as the clock ticked down toward the military's deadline, Morsi has remained defiant. In a speech late Tuesday night, he vowed not to step down and pledged to defend his legitimacy with his life in the face of the massive street protests.
At least 39 people have died since the protests began on Sunday.
The looming showdown follows a night of deadly clashes in Cairo and elsewhere in the country that left at least 23 people dead, most in a single incident near the main Cairo University campus.
The bloodshed, coupled with Morsi's defiant speech, contributed the sense that both sides are ready to fight to the end.
With his political fate hanging in the balance, Morsi demanded in a posting on his official Twitter account late Tuesday that the powerful armed forces withdraw their ultimatum, saying he rejected all "dictates" — from home or abroad. The army said if no agreement is reached between Morsi and the opposition it would intervene to implement a political road map of its own.
In his emotional, 46-minute address aired live to the nation late Tuesday, the Islamist leader accused loyalists of his ousted autocratic predecessor Hosni Mubarak of exploiting the wave of protests to topple his regime and thwart democracy.
"There is no substitute for legitimacy," said Morsi, at times angrily raising his voice, thrusting his fist in the air and pounding the podium. He warned that electoral and constitutional legitimacy "is the only guarantee against violence."
The statement showed that Morsi and his Muslim Brotherhood are prepared to run the risk of challenging the army. It also entrenches the lines of confrontation between his Islamist supporters and Egyptians angry over what they see as his efforts to impose control through the Brotherhood and his failures to deal with the country's multiple problems.
The Interior Ministry, in charge of the police, piled up the pressure on Morsi on Wednesday. It pledged in a statement to stand by and protect the protesters against violence.
As anti- and pro-Morsi supporters geared up for the fourth consecutive day of mass rallies Wednesday, it was clear that Egypt's crisis has become a struggle over whether a popular uprising can overturn the verdict of the ballot box.
Mahmoud Badr, spokesman for Tamarod, or Rebel — the youth movement behind the latest wave of protests — called on anti-Morsi protesters to demonstrate outside three presidential palaces as well as the Cairo headquarters of the Republican Guard, an army branch tasked with protecting the president, his family and presidential palaces. Morsi is thought to have been working at the Republican Guard headquarters since the start of the protests.
Badr also called on the army to place Morsi under arrest for his alleged incitement to civil war.
"Today is the day of decisiveness," Badr said at a news conference Wednesday.
Morsi's opponents say he has lost his legitimacy through mistakes and power grabs and that their turnout on the streets over the past three days shows the nation has turned against him.
On Tuesday, millions of jubilant, chanting Morsi opponents again filled Cairo's historic Tahrir Square, as well as avenues adjacent to two presidential palaces in the capital, and main squares in cities nationwide. After Morsi's speech, they erupted in indignation, banging metal fences to raise a din, some raising their shoes in the air in a show of contempt. "Leave, leave," they chanted.
The president's supporters also moved out in increased marches in Cairo and other cities, and stepped up warnings that it will take bloodshed to dislodge him. While Morsi has stuck to a stance that he is defending democracy in Egypt, many of his Islamist backers have presented the fight as one to protect Islam.
On Monday, the military gave Morsi an ultimatum to meet the protesters' demands within 48 hours. If not, the generals' plan would suspend the Islamist-backed constitution, dissolve the Islamist-dominated legislature and set up an interim administration headed by the country's chief justice, the state news agency reported.
The leaking of the military's so-called political "road map" appeared aimed at adding pressure on Morsi by showing the public and the international community that the military has a plan that does not involve a coup.
Fearing that Washington's most important Arab ally would descend into chaos, U.S. officials said they are urging Morsi to take immediate steps to address opposition grievances, telling the protesters to remain peaceful and reminding the army that a coup could have consequences for the massive American military aid package it receives. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly.
Morsi's adviser Ayman Ali denied that the U.S. asked Egypt to call early presidential elections and said consultations were continuing to reach national conciliation and resolve the crisis. He did not elaborate.
The army has insisted it has no intention to take power. But the reported road map showed it was ready to replace Morsi and make a sweeping change in the ramshackle political structure that has evolved since Mubarak's fall in February 2011.
The constitution and domination of the legislature after elections held in late 2011-early 2012 are two of the Islamists' and Brotherhood's most valued victories — along with Morsi's election last year.

THURSDAY, Feb. 21 (HealthDay News) -- Finally, some good news in the war on childhood obesity: Kids in the United States now consume fewer calories each day than they did 12 years ago, according to a new government report.
Even better, between 1999 and 2010, most boys and girls between 2 and 19 years old began getting more of their daily calories from muscle-building proteins and fewer from carbohydrates, which can easily spur weight gain when eaten to excess, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report found.
The findings, based on dietary data obtained from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, suggest a step in the right direction for a nation where 17 percent of all children and adolescents are obese. Excess weight in childhood is linked to a host of health problems later in life, including heart disease and diabetes.
[See Understanding Childhood Obesity]
"This certainly reflects an improvement in food and drink-related decisions," said Rebecca Solomon, coordinator of clinical nutrition at Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York City.
"It would seem that education and public awareness about the importance of maintaining a healthy body weight may finally be getting to its intended audience," Solomon said. "Hopefully if we teach children the importance of appropriate calorie intake and nutrient balance, we will reverse the obesity problem over the next several decades."
When people eat more than they need to fuel their everyday activities, the body stores the extra calories as fat cells for use later. Over time, this can lead to weight gain and eventually obesity.
[See Best Weight-Loss Diets]
According to the new report, boys' daily calorie consumption on average fell from 2,258 calories in 1999-2000 to about 2,100 on average in 2009-2010. Girls' intake dropped from 1,831 calories to 1,755 during that time period.
The survey found some notable racial and ethnic differences in eating patterns, however.
For instance, the percentage of daily calories derived from protein -- think of beans, nuts and meat -- rose from 13.5 percent to 14.7 percent among boys and from 13.4 percent to 14.3 percent for girls during the 12-year period. However, protein consumption for black girls stayed around 13.5 percent.
Carbohydrate consumption -- carbs are found in breads, potatoes and pasta -- decreased among boys, from 55 percent in the earlier time period to 54.3 percent in 2009-2010. For girls, carbohydrates dropped from 55.8 percent of their total calories eaten to 54.5 percent. These declines in carbohydrates were not seen among black girls and Mexican-American girls, however.
[See The Best Low-Carb Diet? One That's Plant-Based]
Experts hailed the findings and credited wide-ranging efforts from the White House to schools and altered decision-making by parents.
Sharon Zarabi, a nutritionist/fitness trainer at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City, believes that Michelle Obama's "Let's Move" campaign may have increased awareness of the obesity epidemic and encouraged children to eat more nutritious foods and boost their activity.
"These results are surprisingly pleasing as I have been so conditioned to hearing only rising obesity rates," Zarabi noted.
"It's promising to see nutrition becoming a priority in schools starting with the banning of soda and sweetened beverages on campus," she added.

If I'm assuming incorrectly, I hope someone will speak up :) Also, for something closer still to ivory-tower performance, iperf is a good bet.

Obama's open-government director opens up
On Tuesday morning, the Obama administration formally unveiled its Open Government directive, an effort aimed at weaving the philosophies of openness, transparency and participation into the DNA of the federal government and its agencies.
That directive comes as a direct result of President Barack Obama's first executive action, on January 21, only hours after the hoopla from his inaugural parade and parties had died down, when the new chief executive issued the so-called Memorandum on Transparency and Open Government.
That document, which began, "My administration is committed to creating an unprecedented level of openness in government," was … Read more

Holiday Romantic Fiction
It's the most wonderful time of the year again, and with it comes a crop of new holiday romantic fiction. I love diving into this genre in December! Here are some of my picks for this season:
What Happens at Christmas by Victoria Alexander
Publishers' Weekly calls this book a "divine Christmas confection." Camille, the widowed Lady Lydingham, hires a troupe of actors to impersonate her family and staff in order to win the affections of the mysterious prince Nicolai Pruzinsky. But her plans are thwarted by the surprise arrival of her long-lost love, Grayson Elliot, and all sorts of other unexpected events that complicate the farce. Witty and entertaining, this is an ideal light holiday book.
Angels At the Table by Debbie Macomber
It wouldn't be Christmas without a new Debbie Macomber novel. The angels Shirley, Goodness, and Mercy reappear in this year's book, as they descend upon New York's Times Square on New Year's Eve with an apprentice angel, Will, in tow. The novice angel spies a young couple in the crowd and assists them in a New Year's Eve kiss. Then the love-at-first-kiss couple loses all contact with one another, and it's up to the angels to set things right. This is a quick, heartwarming read that will bring joy to the season.
'Twas the Night After Christmas by Sabrina Jeffries
Pierce, the rakish Earl of Devonmont, wants nothing to do with his mother after being banned from his family's estate for twenty-three years. But when he receives a letter from his mother's companion, Camilla, telling him his mother is on her deathbed, he rushes to her side … only to discover that his mother is in perfectly good health. Rather than firing Camilla and returning to London, Pierce stays on the estate and growing increasingly interested in the young woman. Kirkus Reviews says the book is "an enchanting holiday charmer with a complex and captivating plot; characters that interact with emotional authenticity; and a rich set of conflicted, heart-tugging obstacles--all of which combine to provide a satisfying happily-ever-after set against a fun holiday backdrop." I'm in the middle of it right now and can't put it down!
Other titles on my list:
Last Chance Christmas by Hope Ramsay
Lady Louisa's Christmas Knight by Grace Burrowes
My Kind of Christmas by Robyn Carr
The Best Novels of 2012
Working at a library is a constant temptation for me. I always want to bring home just one more book to add to my ever-growing pile.
It's especially bad when so many wonderful novels come out toward the end of the year. I'm sure this is a strategy by publishers who are hoping their authors will be fresh in reviewers' minds when picking the best books of the year.
Now that many of the 2012 best book lists are out, I've compiled some of them to see if a few titles stood out among the thousands that were reviewed in the last 12 months. I used the lists from Kirkus Reviews, Publishers Weekly, Library Journal, Book Page, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, the New York Times and the Washington Post. This blog entry will focus on fiction, and I will do another entry later featuring nonfiction. For more information about the following books, click on the title to go to our library catalog.
Sixty-two titles were named at least twice, while no title made all eight lists. Four young adult books were named, reflecting the growing interest in the genre that is not just for teenagers: "Ask the Passengers'' by A.S. King, "The Fault In Our Stars'' by John Green, "Code Name Verity'' by Elizabeth Wein and "Every Day'' by David Levithan. One graphic novel, "Building Stories'' by Chris Ware, also made the cut.
Some of my favorites that showed up on the lists included "Beautiful Ruins'' by Jess Walter, "Flight Behavior'' by Barbara Kingsolver, "Gone Girl'' by Gillian Flynn, "Home'' by Toni Morrison, "The Snow Child'' by Eowyn Ivey, "Sandcastle Girls'' by Chris Bohjalian, "In One Person'' by John Irving and "Where'd You Go, Bernadette?'' by Maria Semple.
Three books were listed six times:
1) "Bring Up the Bodies'' by Hilary Mantel won the 2012 Man Booker Prize. It is the second in a trilogy about Thomas Cromwell, chief minister to Henry VIII, and the sequel to "Wolf Hall'', which won the Man Booker Prize in 2009. Mantel delves into the relationships of Henry VIII and Thomas Cromwell, and provides a captivating story about the downfall of Ann Boleyn. The Library Journal writes, "Mantel's crowning achievement makes Cromwell not just powerful but sympathetic. Mantel is a consummate setter of scenes: stunning, poetic descriptions are embedded in scenes of savagery and earthiness. The historical novel does not come any better than this. It will be as much of a success as its predecessor.''
2) "This is How You Lose Her'' by Junot Diaz provides nine interconnected stories about the power of love. Diaz won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 2008 for "The Brief, Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao.'' Booklist writes, "Fast paced, unflinching, complexly funny, street-talking tough, perfectly made, and deeply sensitive, Diaz's gripping stories unveil lives shadowed by prejudice and poverty and bereft of reliable love and trust. These are precarious, unappreciated, precious lives in which intimacy is a lost art, masculinity a parody, and kindness, reason, and hope struggle to survive like seedlings in a war zone.''
3)"The Yellow Birds: A Novel'' by Kevin Powers, who is an Iraqi War veteran, tells the coming-of-age war story of two young soldiers trying to stay alive as their platoon is in the midst of a bloody battle. Author Tom Wolfe calls this debut novel "The 'All Quiet on the Western Front' of America's Arab wars." The New York Times Book Review said this: "A first novel as compact and powerful as a footlocker full of ammo … Kevin Powers has something to say, something deeply moving about the frailty of man and the brutality of war, and we should all lean closer and listen."
Seven books were listed five times:
1) "Beautiful Ruins'' by Jess Walter tells the story of a young Italian innkeeper who falls in love with a beautiful starlet during the filming of "Cleopatra''.
2) "Canada'' by Pulitzer Prize winner Richard Ford explores what happens to a teenager after his parents rob a bank.
3) "Dear Life: Stories'' by Alice Munro, the master of short stories, examines how a life can be changed by a chance encounter or an action not taken.
4) "Gone Girl'' by Gillian Flynn, the blockbuster thriller of the year that plays with the reader's mind in the midst of a dysfunctional marriage.
5) "The Orchardist'' by Amanda Coplin, historical fiction depicting an orchardist who tries to help two pregnant teenage girls who show up on his land.
6) "Round House'' by Louise Erdrich, a coming-of-age novel of a teenage boy whose mother is viciously attacked on a reservation.
7) "Telegraph Avenue'' by Michael Chabon explores the connected lives of two families, one black and one white, along with a lot of pop culture references.

2) "Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk'' by Ben Fountain is a satirical story about Iraqi soldiers who survived a fierce battle and now are taken on a nationwide victory tour.
3) "Flight Behavior'' by Barbara Kingsolver looks at the issue of global warming when Monarch butterflies decide to roost in Appalachia instead of Mexico.
4) "Hologram for the King'' by Dave Eggers tells how a struggling businessman travels to Saudi Arabia with hopes of solving his economic woes and keeping his family together.
5) "NW: A Novel'' by Zadie Smith depicts four young Londoners struggling to make it in a challenging world.

Home Care after Cervical/Thoracic/Lumbar/Sacral Nerve Block
The doctor has done an injection in your neck; upper back; or lower back to decrease pain and inflammation. This may help diagnose the source of your pain.
You may feel sore at the injection site for the next 2-4 days. You may apply ice to the site for 20 minutes on and 20 minutes off to decrease pain and discomfort, if needed, for the first 24 hours. After 24 hours, you may use heat if needed.
Your pain may subside right away, or it may take a number of days. This is because two medicines were used in the injection. The first, a local anesthetic, will only work for a few hours. The second, a steroid, may not start working for 2-5 days. Some patients have noticed no changes in their pain for up to 2 weeks.
There may be a time after the local anesthetic wears off that you feel like you have more pain. This is called a pain flare. If this happens
- Limit your activities for the first 24 hours to those that you can do without pain.
- Keep on taking your pain medicine as prescribed.
Sometimes, patients experience facial and neck flushing, anxiety, nervousness, mood swings, and difficulty sleeping with the use of steroids. These symptoms most often occur within the first 24-48 hours and do not require any treatment. They should go away on their own within 1 week.
If you have diabetes, steroids will cause your blood sugar to increase. Make sure your primary doctor is aware of this and that you have orders to treat your blood sugar to keep it within your normal range.
You may have some weakness for the next 3-5 hours due to the anesthetic used. Take it easy. No baths or soaking the injection site for 24 hours after the procedure. Taking a shower is okay.
You may resume taking your routine medicines after the procedure including pain medicines as prescribed.
If you have any questions or need to make a follow-up appointment to discuss your results, please contact your referring physician within 2-4 weeks after the injection. Your doctor will have the report within 7-10 days..
You will be given a pain log to complete for the next 14 days. Complete this form and make a copy for your own records. Then, mail it back to us in the pre-paid envelope we gave you. We will need this information to decide the next step in your treatment plan.
Signs of infection
- Fever greater than 100.4° F by mouth for 2 readings taken 4 hours apart
- Increased redness, swelling around the site
- Any drainage from the site
If you have any new symptoms or signs of infection, please call
Dr Sehgal – (608) 263-9550
Dr Leonard – (608) 265-3207
Dr Simhan – (608) 263-9550

After hours, nights and weekends, call (608)-262-0486 or if you live out of the area, call 1-800-323-8942 - ask for the rehabilitation doctor on call. Leave your name and phone number with the area code. The doctor will call you back.

Toyo Sushi – Vancouver, BC
By shokutsu on May 24, 2009 - 7:52pm
Stepping inside, I could see not much had visibly changed since my last visit. Widely spaced at the main entrance way, brightly lit near the front where the cashier station was set up, along with the sushi bar counter. There were a few groups of customers already seated and eating, lined up towards the far end of the floor near the windows looking out towards False Creek.
Every time I've eaten here, it seemed there were some regulars at the sushi bar conversing casually with the main man behind the counter, and it was the same on this night as well. That's always a good sign for me to see at a sushi bar. Often I'll be one of them and try to learn more about their restaurant and what's fresh, but on this evening dining alone, I was seated in one of the partitioned booths. A small serving of edamae (baby soybeans) was brought to me right after receiving the menu, along with some hot barley tea.

Innovation moves at a rapid pace. Yet few companies know how to keep the process effective, efficient and repeatable. Jonathan Cagan and Craig M. Vogel, authors of "Creating Breakthrough Products," identify that innovation in the 21(st) century is spurred by the integration of technology with lifestyle desires. The result is integrated product-service ecosystems that connect activities across spectrums of use.
The happy interaction of technology and lifestyle plays out repeatedly throughout their book, which is designed to offer a roadmap for identifying the key factors associated with successful innovation.
"Great ideas can come from anyone, anywhere. Our book shows readers the importance of design and how the goal of companies should be to not only develop successful new products but sustain that innovation," said Cagan, a professor of mechanical engineering at Carnegie Mellon.
Their book presents insights and methods that break innovation into its fundamental components. Vogel, a professor of design at the University of Cincinnati, argues that "methods create clarity and allow for communication and vision that produces the emotional element to inspire people to do great things."
"Creating Breakthrough Products" is based on the notion that there is a critical need to explain how to navigate the "fuzzy front end" of product development. A second edition was released Sept. 30, 2012, and is published by FT Press, an imprint of Pearson Education.
The authors also showcase case studies of successful companies and their products and describe the importance of managing diverse workplace teams. They say innovation can happen anywhere by anyone if they gain insights and follow a rigorous process that identifies real needs and desires, and deliver products and services that make a difference in people's lives.
Consumers have seen a revolution in what they use and how they use it: from integrated financial systems to multi-faceted sensor technology that integrates into our lives. Whether a high-tech product or a meeting at a coffeehouse, everyone seeks ways to maximize the value they derive from the products and services they use.
"We feel these changes in everything we do, and that's why our research and case studies in 'Creating Breakthrough Products' are so essential for every business leader and company to emulate," Cagan said. "The best advice for anyone in business is to keep it focused on the customer. And the best way to do that is to find people's needs, wants and desires and deliver them in the products and services your company develops."

Regional and rural carriers are allying to back legislative efforts that would legalize cell phone unlocking. The ban on unlocking cell phones came into effect earlier this year and prevents customers from unlocking their phones for use on another carrier. According to Bloomberg:
More →
The FCC is going to look into the ban on unlocking phones. The ban, which came into effect on January 26 of this year, made it illegal to unlock an on-contract device for use on another carrier.
Due to a ruling by the Librarian of Congress, come tomorrow it will be illegal to unlock a new, on-contract iPhone -- or any phone -- in the U.S. If you bought your iPhone before tomorrow, or if you bought a factory unlocked iPhone straight from Apple, or off-contract, full priced iPhone from carriers, or your contract is over, you shouldn't be subject to any restrictions. Doing it on your own via Jailbreak, however, will be strictly verboten, and likely subject to prosecution by law enforcement and the Batman.
The DMCA (Digital Millenium Copyright Act) has extended the exception that makes it legal to jailbreak your iPhone which will be good news for most of the jailbreak community. It doesn't come without a few hefty caveats though including new rules on unlocking and the fact that tablets, namely the iPad, are not granted the same exception.
Some preliminary tests are showing that users can pop an AT&T or T-Mobile SIM card into a Verizon-branded iPhone 5, and you can get HSPA+ service as normal (assuming, of course, the GSM SIM is active). This is great news for T-Mobile customers that worried about having to unlock the SIM slot on their shiny new iPhone 5, as well as frequent flyers that regularly swap out SIM cards for local service. You can always shave down your own nano SIM cards, though it's generally not recommended.
There's been a lot of confusion over the last 48 hours as to whether or not Apple would be selling the iPhone 5 unlocked at Apple Retail Canada. For the last few years Apple has sold new iPhones unlocked at Apple Retail on launch day, but that time is over. As part of new, anti-scalping measure, if you want an unlocked iPhone in Canada this year, you'll have to order online.
AT&T has just launched a new webpage that allows you to request a SIM unlock for an out of contract iPhone. AT&T has always made it reasonably difficult to unlock a device on its network but now it seems to be softening its approach and actually trying to make it easier for iPhone users. The form is fairly simple to fill in and if you meet a few simple requirements you can have your iPhone unlocked in 5-7 days.
If you've got an iPhone 3G or iPhone 3GS and need to downgrade the baseband but were recently having issues, or were unable to downgrade, the iPhone Dev Team have released an updated version of redsn0w that may now support your device.
If you've been around the iPhone scene for a while, you've no doubt already heard the story of how George "Geohot" Hotz unlocked the original iPhone for the first time, back in the summer of 2007. If not, The New Yorker, in a far broader profile, tells it again:
In the summer of 2007, Apple released the iPhone, in an exclusive partnership with A.T. & T. George Hotz, a seventeen-year-old from Glen Rock, New Jersey, was a T-Mobile subscriber. He wanted an iPhone, but he also wanted to make calls using his existing network, so he decided to hack the phone.
Back on April 8th, AT&T started a new unlock policy that gave iPhone users the ability to have their devices unlocked via the carrier as stated in the following statement.

CMS Releases 2011 Conversion Factor Rate
Posted on 28. Dec, 2010 by jennifer.godreau.
Despite adjusted rate of 33.9764, overall change is zero.
The President locked in a zero percent adjustment to your Medicare Part B payments but that doesn't mean you've got the same rate.
The Medicare and Medicaid Extenders Act of 2010, which was signed into law on Dec. 15, established a payment update for 2011 of zero percent. To cover the cost of the provision, Medicare had to modify a physical therapy provision that was in the proposed 2011 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule final rule. "In addition, the final rule made other changes to the conversion factor, including a re-weighting of the work, practice expense and liability expense components of the relative value scale that resulted in a reduction in the numerical value of the conversion factor, even though

It's football season at Rosedale High, and Johnny (Robert Carradine) and Jesse (Michael Mullins) are eager to lead the school's team to victory. But while Coach Hartmann (Robert Gammon) wants to put the team on the right track, his abusive methods and obnoxious attitude are turning some of the players against him. Meanwhile, the guys on the team are just as interested in making time with the girls on the cheerleading squad as they are in scoring touchdowns, and Johnny starts dating Laurie (Jennifer Ashley), much to the annoyance of her former boyfriend Duane (Bill Adler), a thick-headed tough guy. Meanwhile, the Rosedale High team is gearing up for their annual game with cross town rivals Hardin High by launching a battle of pranks, which reaches its peak when the Rosedale guys steal a fire engine. The Pom-Pom Girls was an early credit for director Joseph Ruben, who later went on to make The Stepfather, True Believer and The Forgotten. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide The Van A teenager tries to win the girl of his dreams with the hottest van in town in this '70s sex comedy. Bobby (Stuart Goetz) has just graduated from high school, but he's too preoccupied with girls to think much about his future. Bobby hasn't had much luck with the ladies, and he's convinced it's because of his lack of cool wheels, so after months of slaving at a car wash owned by Andy (Danny DeVito), he blows the money he'd been saving for college on a down payment on his dream machine: a canary yellow custom Dodge van, a bachelor pad on wheels complete with mirrored ceiling, 8-track stereo, television monitors, and (natch) a waterbed. Bobby turns his attentions to class hottie Sally (Connie Lisa Marie), who happens to be dating ill-tempered bully Dugan (Steve Oliver), while his buddy Jack urges him to date the more available Sue (Marcie Barkin), who's friends with his girlfriend, Tina (Deborah White). Andy uses the car wash as a front for his bookmaking business, and when a few bets don't go his way, he asks Bobby to lend him some money. Bobby gives Andy the cash he'd earmarked for his next payment on the van, but when Andy can't pay him back, Bobby's new van may be soon be in the hands of the repo man. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide Coach When Fenton (Keenan Wynn), the preeminent citizen of Granger speaks, the town listens. The town's high-school boys' basketball team has had a losing season, and he wants the coach fired. What's more, he wants to select his replacement. After a computer search, he discovers that the Olympic track star Randy Rawlings has just the right qualifications. When Randy arrives, he discovers that this star athlete is a woman (Cathy Lee Crosby). However, she insists on her right to try and coach the boys, and she not only succeeds at that, but inspires the boys in other ways as well. ~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide Malibu Beach Day or night, it's a hot and wild summer at Malibu Beach. When the sun is high, it's Dina's (Kim Lankford) job to patrol the area. Being the hot new lifeguard on duty isn't as easy as you'd think -- there's the older, muscle-bound beach idiot Dugan (Steven J. Oliver) continually lusting after her, while jerk kids fake drowning just to get her to save them. And who can forget that pesky bikini-stealing dog?!? Thankfully, when the moon comes up, it's time to party 1978-style. With her best friend Margie (Sherry Marks) in tow, the girls prowl the local disco pub and then end up back at t
