Friday's Lit of 13: Things I'm looking for this weekend........
13) The RGIII bandwagon rolls into St Louis, as Robert Griffin faces the team that got three #1 picks and a #2 pick in exchange for the draft pick Washington used to select the Baylor QB. Rams will play defense better than a rudderless New Orleans team that is still learning Steve Spagnuolo's system. Jones Dome will be lot quieter than the Superdome was.
12) Last time Tennessee was favored to beat Florida was 2004; second tough road game in row for Gators, who came from behind to beat the Texas Aggies last week.
11) Tampa Bay Rays visit the Bronx this weekend, in a surprisingly big series, for both sides. Three weeks to go in the baseball season, and the playoff picture is still very unclear, especially in the AL.
10) Michael Vick played poorly in the Dawg Pound last week; he needs to play better against a Raven team that's covered just twice in last 10 games following an appearance on Monday Night Football.
9) Pitt has already lost to Youngstown/Cincinnati, they're an 11-point home dog to Virginia Tech this week. Not good for a team with a senior QB, even if they are on their 4th head coach in the last three years.
8) Has anyone asked if Stephen Strasburg will have an innings limit again next year? The actual Tommy John threw 200+ innings the first five years after he had the first TJ surgery, but he was in his 30's then.
7) NFL schedule makers put Denver on at night five times in season's first eight weeks; they should hit ratings gold in Atlanta Monday night, two good ball clubs.
6) Notre Dame hung 50 points on Navy in Ireland, now after a week off, the Middies visit troubled Penn State, which had another starter defect this week. Tough to prepare for Navy's option attack in less than a week.
5) Phillies/Brewers are both charging in NL Wild Card race. Two of the three teams they're chasing, Cardinals/Dodgers have a 4-game series with each other this weekend. The charging teams need a Card-Dodger split this weekend, and obviously, they need to keep winning themselves.
4) Dolphins/Colts both have winnable games at home; since both are starting rookie QBs, there's no guarantees they'll have many more winnable games the rest of the year, especially the Dolphins, who are catching a Raider team in a brutal spot, making a cross country flight after playing the late game Monday night.
3) One of the stranger things this weekend will be arrogant Bronx Bomber fans rooting for the A's, since the Orioles are in Oakland for three games. A's will be in the Bronx next weekend, as part of a dicey Detroit-Bronx-Texas road trip.
2) Utah-BYU has always been a bitter rivalry, but with Utes going to Pac-12 and BYU becoming independent, it just isn't the same. Now comes word Utah QB Jordan Wynn has given up football after suffering another shoulder injury last week. Could be a long year for the Utes.
1) Its been 10 years since the Steelers started a season 0-2; they'll need to protect Big Ben Sunday to beat the Jets and even their record. Hard to tell how much off last week's 48-28 Jet win was about the Jets and how much was about the woeful Buffalo Bills.

The softening global economy is leading central banks to cut rates, and that could change your carry trade strategy.
Unless you've been spending quality time in Outer Mongolia, you've probably noticed that the global economy is softening.
Olivier Desbarres, director and head of FX strategy at Barclays, says that's creating pressure on central banks around the world to cut interest rates.
In the last few days, both Korea and Brazil have cut rates, and their moves followed action by the European Central Bank, the Bank of England, and China.
All this has the potential to upend a longtime pattern of carry trades, whereby traders could sell a longtime low-yielding currency against one offering higher rates and be fairly confident that they would be able to pocket the difference.
A case in point: Japan'sdecision not to cut interest rates has some traders talking about a shift in which currencies still work for carry trades, with the yen, a longtime funding currency, high on their lists.
Not so fast, says Desbarres. Noting that volatility remains relatively low - and in light of the ongoing problems in the euro zone - he notes that there are still profitable short trades on the euro against higher yielding currencies like the Australian and Canadian dollars.
The bottom line: watch that volatility, but don't upend your carry trades just yet.

Southwest's Next Growth Spurt
Southwest expects to lease 12 gates at Philadelphia International Airport.
By next spring, Southwest expects to lease 12 gates at Philadelphia International Airport, enabling it to double the schedule of 53 flights a day it has now, airline and airport officials said.
That could put further pressure on US Airways Group Inc., the airport's largest carrier, to cut prices on markets that it serves out of Philadelphia. In 2004, when Southwest invaded US Airways' Philadelphia turf, average one-way fares here plummeted 26 percent.
Southwest, the nation's largest airline in terms of passengers carried, operates from six gates now -- two in Terminal D and four in Terminal E.
By early January, Southwest will take over leases on two gates used by United Airlines in the D concourse, said Steve Sisneros, Southwest's manager of properties.
By spring, Southwest will get four gates now used by Delta Air Lines, next to the ones it has now in Terminal E, after work is completed on new baggage-handling facilities that will serve Terminals A-East and A-West, said Mark Gale, deputy city aviation director.
United will continue to operate from Terminal D. Delta is moving to A-East, where space is opening because British Airways is moving to A-West, the main international concourse, Gale said.
United and Delta are operating under Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, and trimming the number of airport gates they lease reduces costs.
It is too early to say where Southwest will add service once it has the additional gates, Sisneros said. The airline serves 61 cities nationwide, and it recently announced plans to start flying from Denver.
Southwest added flights to Fort Myers, Fla., from Philadelphia on Oct. 2. On Oct. 27, the airline said it would add eight daily flights from Philadelphia to six cities it already serves: Chicago, Houston, Las Vegas, Pittsburgh, Phoenix and Jacksonville, Fla.
Southwest tries to use gates at every airport it serves for about 10 arriving and departing flights a day, said John Minor, the airline's Philadelphia station manager. Most airlines use an airport gate for only six or seven daily "turns" -- an arrival and departure -- because their planes spend more time on the ground between flights than Southwest's do.
Michael Boyd, an airline consultant and president of the Boyd Group in Evergreen, Colo., said Southwest faced higher labor and fuel costs in the next few years and needed to grow to maintain its string of 32 profitable years.
"Initially, look for a lot more north-south flying" by Southwest to Florida and other cities in the Southeast, "and for them to put the squeeze on US Airways," Boyd said. "They will also fill in where they don't fly now."
Southwest flies to six Florida cities from Philadelphia, but has no nonstop service from here to a dozen major destinations throughout the East.
Even with more than 100 flights a day, Southwest will remain well behind US Airways in Philadelphia departures. Philadelphia is US Airways' second-largest domestic hub and its primary international hub, with 475 daily flights to 110 destinations.

Southwest to Lease More Gates in Philly
By next spring, Southwest expects to lease a dozen gates at the airport, meaning it could double the schedule of 53 flights a day it has now.
Southwest Could Add Flights After Merger
A US Airways merger with America West Airlines could free up Philadelphia International Airport gates that Southwest Airlines has said would allow it to add to the 50 daily flights it already operates...
Airlines' Fight at Philadelphia Int'l Stalls Growth
Neither Southwest nor US Airways can add flights as they would like until the disagreement ends.

The impasse was resolved by postponing Delta's move out of Terminal E until about Oct. 15, when US Airways cuts back its service to Europe.

For a fourth year, the Parry Sound North Star and Parry Sound Beacon Star have teamed up with the Salvation Army for the annual Adopt-A-Family campaign.
Every year, there's no hesitation on the part of our community to call in and pledge to support one of the 25 families in need. In a single day, about half of the families on this year's list have received pledges of support. The families remain anonymous, for obvious reasons, but the Salvation Army staff and volunteers who work tirelessly every winter to identify those in need, and link them to the community, know just how grateful these recipients are.
They come from all walks of life, from families facing injury, illness or disability, to those suddenly thrust into tragic circumstances because of job loss or plain bad luck.
These 25 families described on our Adopt-A-Family page today represent a year round need that is magnified during a season that focusses on good food and gifts - two things underprivileged families struggle with when they are just hoping to put basic food on the table, pay rent, and keep the hydro going.
We're blessed too, because the donors are clearly doing this because they care. As we count down the families who have received support, the names of those who have pledged to do so remain anonymous. That has always been the request of donors in this campaign.
We're lucky to meet them as they bring in bags and boxes of gifts for the families. They range from staff and owners of local businesses, individuals and, this year, a rural school that is encouraging students to put thought into suitable gifts – turning it into a learning tool that teaches compassion, and points out a community works together.
Consider that the same selfless generosity occurs at every local toy collection, Salvation Army Kettle, food drop box... and we all realize the real reason this is a very special time of year.

Unique specification Ferrari
Ordered new by Leopoldo Pirelli, President of Pirelli SPA
First GT Ferrari to have 5-spoke, 15" mag-alloy wheels
Bonhams is very proud to offer this unique and special Ferrari from the Oldenburg Family Collection. The car was a personal order from Enzo Ferrari by Leopoldo Pirelli, the President of the legendary tire company, who took delivery in November 1967. With the distinct advantage of knowing 'Il Commendatore', and wishing to have a high performance automobile on which to test Cinturato tires, he was able to request that Enzo build him a 330 GTC to be fitted with the next iteration of powerplant and drivetrain soon to arrive in its successor, the 365GTC. To compensate for the additional power and to facilitate his testing, the car was to receive custom handmade 15 inch Campagnolo magnesium alloy wheels, being the first GT so delivered.
This specification is certainly unique and is fully documented on its factory build sheets, copies of which exist on file. Badged on its tail as a 330, but stated by its chassis plate as a 365, the car could be considered as prototype for this model, however it seems fairer for it to be described as a Speciale, being in keeping with the terminology the factory used for its one off hand built derivatives. More than the technical details though the reality it is the best of both worlds having the bigger engine, but retaining the purer lines of the original GTC.
10581 remained in Europe for the first ten years of its life before being sold to Chinetti in the late 1970s and then into the long term ownership of Seth Rosner of New York City in June 1978. On taking delivery, Mr Rosner recalled legendary Grand Prix driver Rene Dreyfus handing him the keys with the comment 'Monsieur, you have acquired a very special automobile.' He would keep the car for the next three decades. Over the course of Mr. Rosner's tenure, he elected to have it rebuilt mechanically by Nereo Iori a former NART racing mechanic in 1982 and six years later commissioned new paint by renowned painter Bill deCarr, changing its scheme to the current deep Red. In the same period Lyle Tanner Enterprises refurbished the interior upholstery in biscuit hide and renewed the carpets.
Exercised and shown regularly by Mr. Rosner the Speciale was exhibited at the Petersen Automotive Museum in 1997 for its 'Ferrari at 50' show, and at the Saratoga Automobile Museum for a Ferrari display in 2003. After nearly 30 years of ownership, he sold the car to Mr. Oldenburg in 2007.
Very few people will ever be able to lay claim to owning a one-off Ferrari, with a fascinating file of information that includes correspondence with Leopoldi Pirelli, copies of the original Foglio and the original Certificato d'Origine, this offers that opportunity.

Flu Season Hits US: Seven Steps You Can Take to Prepare Your Business and Employees
by Stephen Morris, Community Moderator
- Created: January 10, 2013, 6:26 pm
- Updated: January 10, 2013, 6:29 pm
The 2012-2013 flu season arrived earlier than usual. As the nation braces for increased flu activity, now is the time to prepare yourself, your business, and your employees. Not only is prevention important for physical health, it may impact your bottom line if your staff are out sick. Here are some tips to help you avoid illness and maintain business continuity.
1. Identify a Workplace Coordinator -This person would be the single point of contact for all issues relating to a flu outbreak and be responsible for reaching out to community health providers and implementing protocols for dealing with ill employees - in advance of any outbreak or impact on the business.
2. Examine Policies for Leave, Telework and Employee Compensation - Obviously this will vary by business, but the emphasis here is on refreshing yourself and your employees about what your company's health care plans cover in the event of sick leave as a result of the flu. You should also re-evaluate leave policies to ensure a flexible non-punitive plan that allows for impacted individuals to stay at home. Employees may also need to stay at home to care for sick children or telework in the event of school closures - so be prepared for this by implementing appropriate teleworking infrastructures in advance.
3. Post signs or host a flu vaccination clinic for employees – the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) provides free posters and stock content for your employee newsletter that will remind staff about flu vaccinations and other safety precautions. The CDC also recommends holding a flu vaccination clinic for your employees, among other strategies, for ensuring your employees have access to the seasonal flu vaccine. The CDC Flu Toolkit for Businesses provides all of these great resources.
4. Identify Essential Employees, Essential Business Functions, and Other Critical Inputs - Make plans to maintain communication and ensure clear work direction with critical personnel and vendors (and even customers) in the event that the supply chain is broken or other unpredictable disruptions occur.
5. Share your Flu and other Pandemic Plans with Employees and Clearly Communicate Expectations - Consider posting a bi-lingual version of your preparedness plan, leave information, health tips, and other flu awareness resources across all your work locations and online if you operate an Intranet.
6. Prepare Business Continuity Plans - Absenteeism or other work place changes need to be addressed early on so you can maintain business operations. Get tips on common sense measures your business can take from SBA.gov/Prepare.
7. Establish an Emergency Communication Plan - Hopefully your business already has some form of emergency communication plan. If not, document your key business contacts (with back-ups), the chain of communications (including suppliers and customers), and processes for tracking and communicating business and employee status.

Kyle has provided four samples of 10 grams each, and I will mail three of them to the eG Society members participating in this tasting.
While the tasting is open to all members who have posted at least ten substantive posts in the Coffee and Tea forum, preference will be given until midnight (EDST) Wednesday, June 24th to those who have not yet participated in any of the last three tastings.
As always, everyone is welcome and encouraged to participate in the discussion.
So, please PM me now for details if you would like to receive one of the the free samples and participate in the tasting and discussion.
Here is a little information on Houjicha from The Cultured Cup:
Characteristics of Tea:
Hojicha, literally means "toasted tea." The wide leaves of this green tea have been toasted, which produces a surprising and delicious taste. Naturally low in caffeine.
Brewing Guide:
For a 6-8 oz. cup, use 2 teaspoons and bring water to 185° Fahrenheit. Do Not Boil! Infuse for 2 to 3 minutes. Remove tea leaves after infusion. For more detailed brewing instructions, please see the "How to Brew Tea" resource guide.
Drinking Recommendations:
Hojicha is an ideal accompaniment with sushi or fish. Delicious hot or cold. Drink without milk.
As I have mentioned in other topics, I have known Kyle Stewart for some time now, having bought tea from his shop for many years, at least 10 years I believe it is. And for the past three years or so Kyle has been instrumental to my tea education through the T-Bar Club at The Cultured Cup. Kyle attended the World Tea Expo in Las Vegas recently and completed his three years of training with the Speciality Tea Institute to become the first certified tea specialist in Texas. I have had many pleasant times with Kyle and his staff, trading teas and sharing new tea discoveries. More than just a tea merchant I happen to buy tea from, Kyle is a culinary friend as well as a tea friend - the wonderful tea pairings at Sharon Hage's York Street restaurant and a shared interest in Asian food.

A Resteraunt, poor management! – If you are looking for a Happy Hour, make sure you get here at the start. The "management" has a few regulars and friends that they support. We tried this for the 3rd time on a Friday (10/7/11), big mistake. The small bar area was full, we waited for 45 Minutes by the front desk until a table cleared, sat down and then were told that the HH has a waiting list. Big surprise to me, the bartender, and the other staff, but the manager was able to move 4 of his "friends" from the bar to the table we were ask to vacate. With so many great places for HH in the OC, this should be way down on the list. I would give this place a negative 5 for management.
HAPPY HOUR IS SO HAPPY HERE! WOW – Great place to have a happy hour ... or 2! Get the martinis pickeled pear. So yummy. and the cheese plate is great also!
gREAT – This is a great spot when the items are fresh and just out the oven.. The staff is always friendly and accommodating and the pastries are to die for! I always bring my nephew here for cookies and cupcakes and he never wants to leave... Keep up the good work!
A little bit of a rip – Went for my first experience Friday for happy hour. Ordered Drink and off bar menu at 6:00 pm. Stayed speaking with friends until 7:30. Place was packed and good crowd. Got bill when i left and they billed for full price NOT half off. i called restaurant said happy hour was till 7:00 pm. So what happened?. Wait staff knows I ordered during the happy hour yet presented me with full bill. i suspect that is their SOP to get more $$ out of you. That stinks. They need to be honest. Well i had my chance to vent and tell of their misdeeds. Buyer beware. Shame on them.
Great Spot for Happy Hour – They have the most amazing happy hour during the week. 1/2 off all drinks and Bar Menu. Yummy! I love the Jordan Chardonnay!!!!! ANd the Tuna Tare Tare. I will be back for sure. I love there dinner options too. I highly recommmed them for great wine selections, food and service!
LEFT A LOT TO BE DESIRED – My friend and I go to Happy Hour somewhere is Newport Beach every week. We look for good food and drinks, friendly and knowledgeable wait staff and an overall pleasant atmosphere. Last Wednesday was the first time I visited A Restaurant. I was very disappointed.
FOOD: We ordered the seared tuna, grilled artichoke and calamari.
Tuna: Okay at best. I have had A LOT better seared tuna around Newport.
Artichoke: Greasy, yes, greasy. It tasted like straight bacon fat and I had to thoroughly wash my hands immediately afterward to get rid of the oil/smell.
Calamari: Tender enough, but the way-too-sweet sauce was drizzled over it, preventing us from dipping it as desired. By the time we reached the bottom of the bowl of calamari, it was too soaked with sauce to eat.
DRINKS: At 'A Restaurant' when I ordered their "House Red" the bartender instead said that she would get me something I would like better. I assumed it would be in the same price range as the House Cabernet I ordered which was $10 a glass, but I was wrong, she brought me a Cab/Merlot Mix at $25 a glass without telling me of the price difference. I thought it was rather shady of her.
SERVICE: At 'A Restaurant' you must valet, which is commonplace in Newport. Unfortunately, the valet LOST my friends keys. The staff, including the manager offered no aid except to say she could have free parking if she ever returned. I drove my friend home that night (abandoning her car in the parking lot) and she had to return the next day with her spare set of keys. Apparently the valet had given the keys to another woman, who thankfully returned them. I found it incredibly rude that they failed to offer my friend any sort of compensation for the obvious inconvenience and trouble they put her through.
ATMOSPHERE: During happy hour there was a nice mixture of 20's, 30's, 40's and 50-year-olds. The place is reminiscent of the old rat pack bars. It is dimly lit with dark wood and red accents that glow from under the bar.
Overall, I was not impressed by this iconic restaurant and have no intention of returning.
The happy hour rocks as well as the burger!! – A's is the place for Happy Hour!! Their happy hour menu has great prices on food and excellent drink prices. The burger is "AMAZING"!! This is by far the best burger I've ever tasted,
The restaurant has a cool vibe going on with the red lighting. The staff is very friendly and inviting. This is a place to grab some food, drinks and watch sports on the television in the bar area.
Amazing Steak Dinner – I have lived in Newport Beach for most of my life, so I have always seen A Restaurant as a landmark on PCH. I had never, however, experienced what they had to offer. I stopped in there with a couple friends on a Thursday night and was extremely impressed with the ambiance and quality of the food. I had an incredible steak dinner. Service was great and the location couldnt be better.
Nice job!
Fun time at the happy hour – Some friends and I met up after work to watch the lakers play and have a happy hour. We had a great time and was pleasantly surprised to the find the place packed with young professionals!

To Ruin A Queen
An Ursula Blanchard Mystery at Queen Elizabeth I's Court
Still loyal to her royal mistress but needing to be with her French husband, Matthew de la Roche, Ursula begins to build a new life for herself at Matthew's château. She loves Matthew, although she longs desperately for her little girl, Meg, left behind in England. But when Meg's passage is finally arranged, the child is missing. Where is she, and could her disappearance be part of a plot to tempt Ursula back to her homeland?
Frightened for her child, Ursula follows a trail that leads to the home of the ancient Mortimer family, the mysterious Vetch Castle, a grim, haunted keep on the Welsh border. There she finds castle owner Philip Mortimer, who boasts that he will force Queen Elizabeth to restore the fortunes of his once-great family. There, too, Ursula finds Philip's mother, the aging but still beautiful Lady Thomasine, who is frightened by her son's claims and pleads for Ursula's help in discovering what it is that he knows.
What deadly secrets does this castle hide? What ghostly faces look from the windows of the deserted southwest tower? What has Philip Mortimer discovered? The secrets of Vetch Castle could be dangerous, especially if they concern the Queen -- dangerous to the Mortimers and to Ursula and those she loves, as she soon learns to her peril.
Richly evocative of its rugged English and Welsh setting, precise in its historical detail, and filled with memorable characters, To Ruin a Queen will affirm Fiona Buckley's growing reputation as a queen of historical crime.

The journey that took me from the Château Blanchepierre, on the banks of the Loire, to Vetch Castle on the Welsh March began, I think, on April 4, 1564, when I snatched up a triple-branched silver candlestick and hurled it the length of the Blanchepierre dinner table at my husband, Matthew de la Roche.
I threw it in an outburst of fury and unhappiness, which had had its beginnings three and a half weeks before, in the fetid, overheated lying-in chamber in the west tower of the château, where our first child should have come into the world, had God or providence been kinder.

Ellis Names 18-Players To U.S. Roster for Pan-American Games
CHICAGO (July 2, 2007) – U.S. Under-20 Women's National Team head coach Jillian Ellis has named 18 players to the roster that will travel to Brazil on July 7 for the 2007 Pan-American Games, being held from July 12-29 at four stadiums in one of the world's most storied soccer cities, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
The 10-team Pan-American women's soccer competition will feature two groups of five teams each with the top two teams from each group advancing to the semifinal games after round-robin play. The Pan-American games, which are an "open" tournament for the women, meaning no age limit, stands to be one of the most competitive international tournaments the U.S. U-20s will play outside of a FIFA world championship, as several of the countries will be sending their full Women's National Teams.
The USA opens play against Paraguay on July 12 at João Havelange Stadium. The USA will then face Panama on July 14 at the Miécimo da Silva Sport Complex, and Argentina on July 18 at João Havelange Stadium, before finishing group play against Mexico on July 20 in the famed Maracanã Stadium.
The tournament's semifinal matches will be held on July 23 with the championship game on July 26, both at Maracanã.
The U.S. women head into the Pan-American Games with a record of 6-3-3 in 2007 and will be playing in their first major tournament for this group of players. Of the 12 matches the U-20s have played heading into the Games, two were against Mexico's full Women's National Team, five were against universities, and the other five came against established women's clubs.
Ellis will bring just two "overage" players, meaning players who aren't age-eligible for the 2008 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup in forward Lauren Cheney and defender Brittany Taylor. Cheney, who has two senior team caps and scored her first full international goal against Mexico on April 14, participated in Residency Training Camp with the full U.S. Women's National Team in 2007 along with Pan-Am teammate Kelley O'Hara.
In addition, midfielder Tobin Heath and forward Casey Nogueira both trained with the senior side in January, with Nogueira earning her first-ever full international cap at the Four Nations Tournament in China. Four players on the roster -- Cheney, Heath, Nogueira and O'Hara – were members of last year's U.S. team that finished fourth at the U-20 Women's World Championship in Russia.
Ellis' roster includes four players still in or having just graduated high school in June of 2007. All but two players on the roster, both rising high school seniors in midfielder Teresa Noyola, who was Parade's 2007 Girl's High School Player of the Year, and forward Melissa Henderson, named Gatorade's 2007 Girl's High School Player of the Year, will return home to begin their college seasons in August. Following the collegiate season, preparations for the 2008 U-20 Women's World Cup qualifying will continue, but CONCACAF has yet to confirm the dates for sites for the qualifying tournament.
Forwards Michelle Enyeart, Henderson, Jessica McDonald, and O'Hara all lead the USA with two goals a piece thus far in 2007.

A Chevrolet crashed Friday evening into the Furniture Liquidators store in Radcliff, said Fire Chief Jamie Henderson. When crews arrived, the car's rear end was hanging out of the building, he said.
The crash resulted in broken glass and other minor damage to the store and its sign, Henderson said. Hardin County EMS also responded to the scene, but no one was transported for treatment, he said. The driver of the vehicle has not been identified and the cause of the crash was not immediately known.

US economy shrinks for first time in 3½ yearsBy CHRISTOPHER S. RUGABER
The AssociatED Press | January 31,2013AP File Photo
Containers are unloaded from cargo ships at the Port of Los Angeles in this December 2012 photo. A snapshot of U.S. economic growth released Wednesday showed the first decline since 2009.WASHINGTON The U.S. economy unexpectedly shrank from October through December, the first quarterly drop since 2009 and a reminder of the economys vulnerability as automatic cuts in government spending loom.
The Commerce Department said the economy shrank at an annual rate of 0.1 percent mainly because companies restocked at a slower rate and the government slashed defense spending. Those trends partly reflected uncertainty late last year about the fiscal cliff, which Congress averted in a deal reached Jan. 1.
Economists say those factors could prove temporary, and the likelihood of another recession appears remote. Still, the sharp slowdown from the 3.1 percent annual growth rate in the July-September quarter, also driven by a drop in U.S. exports, raised concerns about 2013.
Congressional Republicans seem determined to permit deep cuts to defense and domestic programs to kick in as scheduled March 1. And Americans are coming to grips with an increase in Social Security taxes that has begun to leave them with less take-home pay.
Government spending cuts and slower company restocking, which can fluctuate sharply, subtracted a combined 2.6 percentage points from GDP. Those two factors offset a 2.2 percent increase in consumer spending. And business spending on equipment and software rose after shrinking over the summer.
For all of 2012, the economy expanded 2.2 percent, better than 2011s growth of 1.8 percent. For 2013, analysts generally think the economy will grow at a steady if modest pace of roughly 2 percent as the housing and auto sectors continue to recover along with bank lending and consumer spending.
Frankly, this is the best-looking contraction in U.S. GDP youll ever see, Paul Ashworth, an economist at Capital Economics, said in a research note. The drag from defense spending and inventories is a one-off. The rest of the report is all encouraging.
The plunge in defense spending in the October-December quarter followed a jump in the third quarter. The fluctuation might have reflected higher-than-usual spending that occurred in the July-September period in anticipation of government spending cuts later in the year. Some defense contractors reported lower government spending at the end of the year.
Last week, General Dynamics blamed a $2 billion loss in the fourth quarter on slowed defense spending.
Exports fell by the most in nearly four years, a result of Europes recession and slower growth in China and some other large developing countries.
Incomes, though, jumped last quarter as companies paid out special dividends and bonuses ahead of expected tax increases in 2013. Commerce estimated that businesses paid nearly $40 billion in early dividends. After-tax income, adjusted for inflation, rose 6.8 percent, the most in nearly four years.
Superstorm Sandy likely also dragged on growth by closing factories, disrupting shipping and shutting down retail stores. While the department did not specify Sandys effect on GDP, it estimated that Sandy destroyed about $36 billion in private property and $8.6 billion in government property.
Subpar economic growth has held back hiring. The economy has added about 150,000 jobs a month, on average, for the past two years. Thats barely enough to reduce the unemployment rate, which has been a still-high 7.8 percent for two months.
Economists forecast that unemployment stayed at that rate in January. The government will release the January jobs report Friday.
The slower growth in stockpiles followed a jump in the third quarter. Slower inventory growth means factories likely produced less. Heavy equipment maker Caterpillar Inc. said this week, for example, that it reduced its inventories in the fourth quarter as global sales declined from a year earlier.
Still, with consumer spending rising, companies might have to rebuild inventories in the current January-March quarter, economists say. That could boost growth.
Wednesdays report is the first of three estimates of GDP the government issues each quarter. GDP measures the nations total output of goods and services from restaurant meals and haircuts to airplanes and appliances. The estimates of GDP are revised by an average of 1.3 percentage points between the first and third estimate. That means the final figure for the fourth quarter might end up showing either growth or a steeper contraction.
A big question for 2013 is how consumers will react to the expiration of the Social Security tax cut. Congress and the White House allowed the temporary tax cut to expire in January but prevented income taxes from rising for most Americans.
The Social Security tax increase will reduce take-home pay this year by about 2 percent. A household earning $50,000 a year will have about $1,000 less to spend. A household with two high-paid workers will have up to $4,500 less.
A key measure of consumer confidence plummeted this month after Americans noticed the reduction in their paychecks, the Conference Board reported Tuesday.
Several trends, though, are expected to boost growth later this year.
Home builders are stepping up construction to meet rising demand. That should create more construction jobs.
And home prices are rising steadily. That tends to make Americans feel wealthier and more likely to spend. Housing could add as much as 1 percentage point to economic growth this year.
In addition, auto sales reached their highest level in five years in 2012. Thats boosting production and hiring at U.S. automakers and their suppliers.MORE IN National / World BusinessSaying they can no longer ignore the rising prices of health care, some of the most influential...

A podcast of the talk by WU MI-CHA (Professor of Taiwanese Literature, National Cheng Kung University, Tainan, Taiwan)is now available.
Friday, January 29, 20104:30 PM - 6:00 PMSierra RoomFaculty CenterUCLALos Angeles, CA 90095
The Literature on Taiwan Series (Taiwan wenxian congkan), compiled and published by the Office of Economic Research of the Bank of Taiwan, contains the largest number of historical sources on Taiwan written in Chinese. There are four types: (1) government archives and official records, mostly from the Qing period; (2) a variety of writings about Taiwan by officials and sojourners from the mainland; (3) a number of local gazetteers (fangzhi) compiled officially or semi-officially by Qing officials and their assistants, who included Taiwanese gentry and scholars; and (4) a greater number of local gazetteers and writings in various genres by Taiwanese in the period of Japanese rule. Though the fourth type extended the third, it was more significant in the development of Taiwanese historiography, because it reflected and registered the emergence of a native, or Taiwanese, consciousness. This Taiwanese consciousness was nurtured by the unique experience the islanders underwent after the Qing ceded their land to Japan.
Wu Mi-cha (PhD, University of Tokyo) is a Professor of Taiwanese Literature and the Chair of the Department of Taiwanese Literature at National Cheng Kung University (Tainan, Taiwan). Professor Wu formerly taught at National Taiwan University and was the Director of the National Museum of Taiwan History. Among his many publications (in Chinese, Japanese, and English) are Studies in Modern History of Taiwan (in Chinese; Taipei, 1990), A Concise Compendium of History Materials on Taiwan (co-author; in Chinese, Taipei, 2004); "The Nature of Minzoku Taiwan and the Context in Which It Was Published," in Taiwan Under Japanese Colonial Rule (in English, Ping-hui Liao and David Wang, eds., Columbia Univ. Press, 2006); "Ino Kanori, Japanese Ethnography and the Idea of the 'Tribe,'" in In Search of the Hunters and Their Tribes: Studies in the History and Culture of the Taiwan Indigenous People (in English; David Faure, ed., Taipei, 2001).
Professor Wu will speak in Chinese. Translation will be provided.

Globally, our oceans are in deep trouble. Overfishing,

marine creatures and habitat. Hell, we're also endangering our lives if
we don't protect the oceans. We rely on the oceans for food, our
livelihood and survival!
Hands Off! In order to protect the world's oceans, portions have to
be left alone. That's where marine reserves come into the picture. A
marine reserve is like putting a giant "Do Not Disturb" sign around an
area of the ocean. These protected areas are so important to the future
of our oceans—giving wildlife a safe haven free from danger.
Help today by signing our petition to set aside 40% of the world's
oceans as marine reserves. By convincing governments and the United
Nations that marine reserves are critical to the oceans' future—we can
put an end to global fisheries decline and habitat destruction.
Protect the oceans
We, the undersigned, support Greenpeace's plan to protect 40 percent of the world's oceans as marine reserves.We know that marine reserves are vital to restoring the health of our rapidly declining oceans. They can help restore marine biodiversity and put endangered species and habitat on the road to recovery.Marine reserves provide a safe-haven for marine life and give them the freedom to spawn, mate, and feed without the pressures of capture or habitat loss.We need strong solutions to combat the onslaught of pressures our oceans are facing--overfishing, bycatch, global warming, habitat loss and pollution. We support placing 40% of the world's oceans as marine reserves as a way to protect our future and the future of our planet.

Senator supports a thorough but fair legalization process
On Friday, May 10, U.S. Senator Ben Cardin (D-MD) will hold a roundtable discussion on immigration reform with stakeholders of comprehensive immigration reform. On April 17, the Border Security Economic Opportunity and Immigration Act, S. 744, was introduced in the U.S. Senate. This measure would strengthen border security, create a fair legalization program, and create a workable system to ensure that employers only hire legal workers in the future.
There is bipartisan support for immigration reform and for creating a fair pathway to citizenship for the approximately 11 million undocumented immigrants now living in the United States. Senator Cardin has spoken out in support of comprehensive reform legislation that will ensure our borders are secure and developing a process that will give millions of undocumented immigrants an opportunity to emerge from the shadows and find a path toward citizenship if they want to stay in this country.
· WHAT: Roundtable discussion on immigration reform
· WHO: Senator Cardin, Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service, CASA de Maryland, BUILD, Archdiocesan Immigration Coalition, International Teachers in the Baltimore City Public Schools, Episcopal Refugee and Immigrant Center Alliance, BRIDGE, Episcopal Refugee and Immigrant Center Alliance, Centro de los Derechos del Migrante, Inc., League of United Latin American Citizens, and Baltimore Resettlement Center, and Esperanza
· WHEN: Friday, May 10 at 1 p.m.
· WHERE: Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service,
700 Light Street,
Baltimore, MD

Current Situation on Darting Safaris in South Africa
Current Situation on Darting Safaris in South Africa
A. Notification from the Department of Environmental Affairs
The Veterinary Council proposed amendments to their legislation that will have an impact on the darting of rhinos by foreign clients. Herewith is a summary of the information:
1. According to the proposed amendments only veterinary professionals, or persons authorized by the Veterinary Council and under the supervision of a veterinary professional, will be permitted to administer Schedule 5 or 6 medicines with the purpose to tranquilize or anaesthetize an animal.
2. These amendments have not been published for implementation yet. However, the Veterinary Council will probably forward these proposals to the Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (DAFF) next week, for DAFF to obtain approval from the Minister to publish the amendments in the Gazette for implementation. The implementation will then be with immediate effect.
3. The rules will be published in terms of Section 30 of the Veterinary and Para-Veterinary Professions Act, Act 19 of 1982. (Act)
4. The Veterinary Council went through the consultation process, but did not extend this to the professional hunting industry.
5. According to the policy of the Veterinary Council, it would officially be unethical for veterinarians to be involved in darting safaris from 1 June 2010. As a result of the industry not being informed of the time frame of the implementation, there are Hunting Outfitters who have permits to conduct these safaris, and safaris have already been booked. There would thus be an interim period from 1 June 2010 until publication of the amendments, that Outfitters would have problems with existing contracts. The Veterinary Council was therefore requested if it would be possible for them to honor existing permits. The Registrar of the Council undertook to forward our request to the Executive Committee for approval.
6. In the mean time, it is recommended that provinces do not issue new permits for applications for darting safaris. Further, it is requested that all provinces must indicate to us how many permits they have issued of which the safaris still need to take place. The reason is so that we can indicate to the Council how many permit holders will be affected by the interim period (my proposal was that the Council regard this period until publication, as an official phase out period for permits).
7. DEA will have to amend the TOPS Regulations to make provision that only veterinary professionals or persons authorized by the Council, may dart animals. Therefore, written approval from the Council will be a prerequisite for a person other than a veterinary professional, to obtain a darting permit.
B. Update from the Department of Environmental Affairs on the Veterinary Council's decision taken at their meeting of 30 July
"Decision taken by Council that the conduct of any veterinarians involved in green hunts i.r.o. permits issued after 30 June 2010 will be investigated.
Permits issued prior to 30 June 2010 not affected."
This means that darting safaris for existing TOPS permits may continue, but no new TOPS permits should be issued for foreign clients to do the darting, as veterinarians may not be involved in those safaris.
The above provision only affects the 5 outstanding permits issued by MTPA.
All other provinces indicated that they have no outstanding permits (permits that have already been issued, of which the safaris still need to take place).
We will amend the TOPS Regulations accordingly to give effect to the decision of the South African Veterinary Council.

Over the River and Through the Woods…
It was cold and crisp and I was waiting to get to grandma's to see my cousins and of course eat Thanksgiving dinner. Grandma was the best cook and there was always so much to eat. After dinner my dad would fall asleep on grandma's couch while my uncles sat and talked. 'The women' cleaned up, of course!
Have you taken the time to think about the Thanksgiving holidays you spent with your family years ago? Have you written those memories down? Do you have the recipes for your mom or grandma's gravy or mincemeat pie? I never tried mincemeat pie at grandma's. I couldn't figure out what type of meat mince was!
This holiday season take the time to write down those memories, collect the recipes and share them with the rest of your family, maybe in a family newsletter or our society cookbook!
- - - - - - - -
Over the river, and through the wood,
to Grandfather's house we go;
the horse knows the way to carry the sleigh
through the white and drifted snow.
Over the river, and through the wood,
to Grandfather's house away!
We would not stop for doll or top,
for 'tis Thanksgiving Day.
Over the river, and through the wood-
oh, how the wind does blow!
It stings the toes and bites the nose,
as over the ground we go.
Over the river, and through the wood
and straight through the barnyard gate.
We seem to go extremely slow-
it is so hard to wait!
Over the river, and through the wood-
when Grandmother sees us come,
She will say, "o, dear, the children are here,
bring a pie for every one."
Over the river, and through the wood-
now Grandmothers cap I spy!
Hurrah for the fun! Is the pudding done?
Hurrah for the pumpkin pie!
This song originally appeared as a poem written by Lydia Maria Child. The poem appeared in Flowers for Children, Vol. 2 in 1844

Thanks Pattie, Your post made me go back to my childhood and remember the food, the fun and family. I enjoyed reading the little history lesson about the poem.ReplyDelete

Thanks, Pattie, for the memory and for the cookbook plug. PCGS is encouraging our members to write down some memories and receipes so we can publish a members' cookbook. If you haven't done it yet, there is still time for you to get your memory written down and submit them to the cookbook committee, Peggy Fortner, Margaret O'Dell, Vera White, Virgina Abbey and Virginia Britten. Hopefully, during the Holidays, everyone can relive some great family moments. And, Pattie, there will be a recipe for mince meat included in the book.ReplyDelete

Gertrude Weil, 1879 - 1971
This web exhibit was made possible by the generous gifts of a group of Smith College alumnae.
"It is so obvious that to treat people equally is the right thing to do."
Gertrude Weil's passion for equality and justice shaped the course of her long life. Inspired by Jewish teachings that "justice, mercy, [and] goodness were not to be held in a vacuum, but practiced in our daily lives," Weil stood courageously at the forefront of a wide range of progressive and often controversial causes, including women's suffrage, labor reform and civil rights. She worked tirelessly to extend political, economic and social opportunities to those long denied them.
Weil attempted to better society in countless ways. From the 1910s, when she organized women's suffrage leagues, to the 1960s, when she convened a bi-racial council in her home; from championing child labor legislation to creating parks and pools for underprivileged African-American neighborhoods; from teaching religious school to helping rescue Jewish refugees in the 1930s and 1940s, she expressed her dedication to social justice and social welfare.
A lifelong resident of Goldsboro, NC, Weil was strongly committed to improving the life of her hometown, her state and her region. Although her work certainly had national implications, she focused the greatest part of her attention on Goldsboro and North Carolina. She critiqued her society from within, taking advantage of her position as a prosperous white Southern woman to challenge the racism and sexism that characterized much of Southern culture. As member, advisor, leader or benefactor, she took an active role in every aspect of her town's life. Like many other women across the South and the nation, Weil shaped the political and social culture of her community, helping to make it into a vital and meaningful home for all its inhabitants.
- Quotation beginning "It is so obvious…." from Frank Warren, "Miss Gertrude Weil," Goldsboro News-Argus, December 6, 1964.
- Quotation beginning "Justice, mercy, goodness…." from Gertrude Weil, "Talk at Beth Or Temple, Sisterhood Sabbath," May 12, 1944, in the Gertrude Weil Papers at the North Carolina Office of Archives and History.
