Raspberry Brownies
These decadent brownies boast antioxidant-rich blueberries and raspberries. And they're under 100 calories per serving, so you don't have to feel guilty eating one—or two!
Makes: 12 servings
Nonstick cooking spray
¼ cup chocolate chips, semisweet
3 Tbsp butter, unsalted
1 cup "white" whole-wheat flour or whole-wheat pastry flour
½ cup sugar, granulated
½ cup cocoa, unsweetened
1 tsp baking powder
1⁄8 tsp salt
½ cup blueberries, fresh or frozen
2 Tbsp instant coffee granules
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 large egg
1 pint raspberries
Preheat oven to 350°F. Use a cooking spray to coat the bottom of a 9-inch-square baking pan. Then, place the chocolate chips and butter in a small microwave-safe dish (preferably glass) and microwave on high for 1 minute, or until chocolate is melted. Set aside.
Note: You could also melt the chocolate chips and butter in the oven by placing them in a small oven-safe dish (preferably glass) and warming them 4 to 5 minutes, or until chocolate is melted.
Next, place the flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder and salt in a large mixing bowl. Whisk until combined. Place blueberries, coffee granules, vanilla extract and ½ cup of water in a blender and mix on high speed until smooth. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the blueberry mixture. Then, add the egg, raspberries and melted chocolate and butter.
Using a rubber spatula, gradually stir the flour into the wet ingredients until just combined, about 12 turns. Mixture will resemble a fluffy icing. Transfer the batter to the baking dish and bake 15 to 17 minutes until the top is firm and has puffed. Cool 2 minutes before slicing and serve immediately, or cool completely before storing in an air-tight container and keeping it on the counter for up to 5 days.

Did you read Mike Furci's recent article about getting in shape for summer? If you've hit the pool and weren't happy with how you looked without a shirt, then you might want to give it a read. You should check out the entire article, but here are Mike's nutrition principles for consistent, healthy eating that will help you get lean and mean.
If you're hungry, eat. If you're not, don't.
Under no circumstances should you count calories, ever.
Avoid calorie-dense fast foods. (Mainly processed, fast foods, fruit juice, soda pop and other high-carb foods.)
Plan your meals, and prepare your food in advance. This is perhaps the single biggest contributor to consistent healthy eating. You're less likely to fall off the wagon if there is quality food already made.
Eat at least four meals per day. Your goal should be to eat six times per day, once every two to three hours. A healthy snack, e.g., vegetables, cottage cheese, sugar-free yogurt, etc., is considered a meal.
Make sure to eat a portion of protein with every meal. If your meal consists of a starchy carb, always consume a bit of your protein first. This ensures a lower glycemic index for the meal and will curb eating too many carbs.
A portion of protein is four to eight ounces, or a portion is about the size of the palm of your hand or a clenched fist.
Choose carbohydrates that are on the lower end of the glycemic index. Refer to the Approved Foods chart.
Whenever time is of the essence, use meal replacement packs, protein powders and drinks, cottage cheese, yogurt, etc. This takes the guesswork out of meal planning during a busy day.
Use natural unprocessed fats and oils for cooking and salad dressings. Avoid using, or strictly limit, your consumption of polyunsaturated fats (vegetable oils) and never cook with them.
If you want to get healthy, look better and feel better, you need to learn more about how to eat. Read this article and then read Mike's columns regularly.

OCEAN CITY- The Greene Turtle boy's elite travel lacrosse team made a strong showing in the Dick's Sporting Goods Tournament of Champions last weekend, rallying for four straight wins after dropping its first two contests to capture the championship in the consolation bracket.
The Greene Turtle club, made up of some of the top high school lacrosse players from across the Eastern Shore including many from Stephen Decatur and Worcester Prep, traveled to Tampa last weekend to compete in the prestigious Dick's Sporting Goods Tournament of Champions, an invite-only tourney featuring some of the best high school All-Star teams in the country with a potential national championship on the line.
The team was invited after enjoying one of its best seasons ever this year, winning several big time tournaments along the way. To earn an invitation to the Dick's Tournament of Champions, each of the competing teams had to win at least one of the many sanctioned tournaments around the country during the year, and the Greene Turtle earned its place in the boys' elite division with a championship in the Brine Summer Sizzle this year.
The Greene Turtle club struggled a little out of the gates last week, dropping its first two games in pool play last Friday to be sent to the consolation bracket. The Turtle fell to Connecticut, 4-2, in its first game before dropping a 6-4 decision to Atlanta in its second contest. Coach Steve Pappas said this week his team's late arrival at the venue coupled with a very early start time for its first game likely caused the early setbacks.
Nonetheless, the Greene Turtle regrouped and excelled in the consolation tournament, reeling off four straight wins, three of which came against teams seeded much higher than it was, to claim the championship. All in all, the Greene Turtle finished 17th out of the field of 27 teams in the tournament's elite division, the highest it could finish after dropping its first two contests.
Throughout the tournament, the Greene Turtle's defense, led by Jeff Moore and Hunter Marshall, along with Stephen and Jason Pappas, played extremely well, holding to some of the top teams in the country to single-digit goal totals. On the offensive side, the Greene Turtle got it cranked up during its four-win run through the consolation bracket led by Justin Butler, Sean Wright, Daniel Steele, Calvin Snyder, Chris Dashiell and Brad Harris.
The Greene Turtle team features some of the top local high school players in the area, but the current roster will likely be decimated by graduation in the coming year with as many as 11-12 roster spots coming open. The club will hold tryouts for the 2009 campaign sometime in early March.

Talk about a bear scare.
A Scottish couple visiting Pasadena had a close encounter with a young bear earlier this week, and the incident was captured by a surveillance camera.

News from around the country and around the globe
Bobby and Irene McKeown left the home they were staying at Tuesday morning. Bobby McKeown turned to lock the door as his wife waited nearby -- but neither noticed the furry figure that can be seen lurking in the background on the security video.
The bear appeared to take a step back when the couple first exited the house onto the porch. But instead of continuing the retreat, the curious young bear followed the McKeowns out to their car.
Bobby Mckeown suffered a nip or claw to his calf in an incident off-camera.
WATCH: Caught on Camera: Tourists' Close Encounter With SoCal Bear
"There were a couple of scratches," Bobby McKeown said.
Despite the minor injury, the couple characterized the encounter as just another story to tell their friends about their Southern California visit.
"I'm very lucky. Never had such excitement," Bobby McKeown said.
WATCH: Bear Munches on Trash in Altadena Backyard
Neighbors in the area are very familiar with bears, and one family says this bear regularly eats their family's trash, according to an NBC4 report.
Some think he may be here with his mother, a bigger bear seen in the Pasadena area on Thursday.
READ: Search Called Off For Wayward Bear
There is speculation that this bear could be from same bear family that was spotted two years ago in a tree in an Altadena neighborhood.

"He doesn't look too harmless but he's a wild animal, you never know. So it's probably safe to tranquilize him or get him out of here somehow, you know," a neighboring Pasadena resident said.

It Is All About BTC, LTC, ETH, ZEC mining as well as other alternative crypto currencies
We have started testing the PBMining Bitcoin cloud mining service about 4 months ago and it has been operating for about 5 months in total so far. We were a bit skeptical at first with the operations behind the service willing to stay more anonymous and with the fact that the service offers 5 year Bitcoin cloud mining contracts for a price that is really very attractive as compared to other services that sell you cloud mining hashrate for a period of just 1 year and for higher price. But now, a few months later we can say that we are really happy with the service and this is probably the only such service we have tried so far that hasn't had any problems after using it for so long. Furthermore the service does continue to update their prices bringing them down with each difficulty readjustment, so if you buy hashrate over time such as reinvesting some of your mined earnings you will get it at a better price later on to compensate for the increase in difficulty.
Back in February, when we have started testing and using the service they've had just about 14.4 THS worth of hashrate to sell and at the moment their website shows that the total hashrate has increased up to about 829 THS. The price per 1 GHS of cloud mining hashrate back then was 0.0107 BTC and at the moment you can purchase it for 0.0036 BTC. So if you are looking for Bitcoin cloud mining service to try we can recommend to give this one a go, though as usual we do advice to start with just a few GHS to try it out and then decide if it seems trustworthy enough to invest in more hashrate. What could be improved from our point of view is the fact that the service does a weekly payout of your earnings, it would've been better if that was a daily instead of weekly one, especially if you have a lot of hashrate. Though weekly payments are still Ok for smaller hashrate contracts and we have never had a problem with the payments.
– For more information and to try out the PB Mining Bitcoin cloud mining service…
Today the Bitcoin cloud mining service PB Mining has updated their website, something that they have previously announced. Earlier today there was a message about the update pointing to the new IP address of the website, though some of you might still see that message until the DNS cache is refreshed. The new website is not a complete makeover, but more like adding new features and improvements to the interface of the service. We are happy to see that some of the things that we did not like about it initially are now fixed, such as the ability to update your Bitcoin payment wallet address. There is now more clearly structured and detailed information about your cloud hashrate and when your cloud mining contract expires and so on. There could be a few more issues n the next days that need to be worked on, but hopefully things will be back to normal and the support of the service is working to bring everything back to normal after the update.
We've been testing the service for a month already and though we had some concerns when we first started, now we can say that most of them are gone. The service has been running stable and problem free and we were getting our mined coins each week on time. We are still not ready to invest a lot of coins in the service as we are still testing it, but we are gradually adding more hashrate pretty much each week or when the difficulty has increased. The reason or that is the decrease in price per GHS that the service has with each difficulty adjustment to the already most attractive price they have for cloud mining.
At the moment they have 78 THS worth of hashrate and the option to buy a contract at 0.0075 BTC per GHS currently says that it has all been sold out. This however can be a result of temporary disabling the option to purchase new hashrate until everything is operating normally after the move, the same can also be true about new registrations. If you are already using the service and are having some issues try contacting the support or post in the dedicated thread about the service on Bitcointalk linked below.
– To the PB Mining cloud mining service dedicated topic at the Bitcointalk forum…
One more week has passed from our ongoing PB Mining Bitcoin cloud mining service tests and yesterday we have received our payout. As we've already discussed the service is sending the payouts from the cloud mining hashrate that you have purchased every Sunday before Midnight. From what we are seeing so far the payout seems to be fixed based on the current difficulty and the hashrate you have purchased. So far we haven't had any issues with the service, unlike many other similar services that do have problems lately, but we are still a bit wary and are not investing too much coins in hashrate.
We already have 20 GHS purchased worth of hashrate and we are probably going to be upping that hashrate some more after the next Bitcoin difficulty adjustment in about 8 days, because PB Mining is decreasing their price per GHS with every difficulty increase. And for the moment they are still offering the best price per GHS for cloud mining hashrate that starts mining for you right away. The total hashrate of the service that is being officially reported is now 64 THS. There seem to be already about 4000 people that have registered and are using the service for cloud mining and while there are still some concerns about it, things seem to be running smoothly so far. And even though we have been testing the service for more than 3 weeks already and are so far happy with the results, we do still recommend some caution and to start small and not rush in with a lot of BTC to invest in cloud mining hashrate if you do wan to test it yourself.

HUNTINGTON STATION, N.Y., Feb. 23 (UPI) -- Investigators on Long Island, N.Y., blamed a faulty heating system flue for a deadly carbon monoxide leak at a shopping mall restaurant, city officials said.
Steven Nelson, 55, the manager of the Legal Sea Foods at the Walt Whitman Shops in Huntington Station died Saturday night after falling unconscious in the basement of the restaurant, which was filled with customers and staff at the time.
A.J. Carter, a spokesman for the town of Huntington, said Sunday the fire marshal determined the cause of the leak was a faulty flue, the New York Daily News reported.
"The issue was in the basement, where the manager ... was overcome," Carter said.
Citing a co-worker it did not identify, the newspaper said Nelson was felled when he went to the basement to investigate the odor of gas.
The report said Legal Sea Foods assistant manager Megan Smith, who survived, was overcome by gas when she went looking for Nelson, a father of two.
"She (Smith) went downstairs to inspect and disappeared," the co-worker said. "That's when we knew something was wrong. People kept disappearing down there."
Suffolk County police Lt. Jack Fitzpatrick said Sunday the carbon monoxide appeared to have been confined to the basement.
"It does not appear to have made it in the area of the restaurant where the customers were," he said.
Another 28 people were taken to hospitals for treatment of the effects of the invisible but deadly gas.
Fitzpatrick said no customers were harmed. The victims were all restaurant employees or emergency personnel who had rushed to the scene.
Nevertheless, Legal Sea Foods and two other restaurants were quickly evacuated after Nelson collapsed.
"They told us to leave because of a gas leak," Cheesecake Factory patron Kathy Sella told WNBC-TV, New York. "I didn't want to blow up or anything like that. We were at the bar having a glass of wine and then, one of the waitresses, she said you have to leave."
A summons has been issued requiring the restaurant to repair faulty equipment before it can reopen.

Get Your Free Audiobook
Relativity of Einstein
Publisher's Summary
What members say
- Theodore
- 18-08-12
Underwhelming and dissapointing
This book was literally too hard to listen to. The content is clearly there (its Einstein of course so there would obviously be content) but then the narration is just unfortunate sadly.
For a science lover the theory of relativity is a fascinating concept and you saw aspects of this by listening to this book. The concepts can be somewhat difficult to grasp here, especially when formulas are being tooted left, right and center at a rather rapid pace. In a book form this would have been rather easy to follow IF you have knowledge of Physics and Mathematics prior to getting a hold of this book. This is not a book that would resonate with your average reader or even an average Science lover. It would take some prerequisite knowledge of Classical Mechanics and Laws of Physics at the very least prior to getting a hold of this title.
The narration.... wasn't horrible... It was just horrible for this book... The pace was too rapid (seeing that I was on a PC I couldn't change the playback speed and honestly I am not too much of altering the playback speed at all). Too many statistically formulas were thrown in the audio without the chance to prove them (and for anyone who does science one does not just hear formulas and take them, you like to somewhat prove them a bit through practical work). The narrator did attempt to sound animated but it still came off as drawling....
In the end the book just struck me as being disappointing.... I lost track of the book at times and were I not the 'push through type' I would have stopped listening within the first 10 minutes.
One more important.... this book took me a week to finish.... It was 3 hours long.... I listened to a 10 hour book in less than a day.... THAT was how hard it was for me to listen...

Good book, needs better narator!
This is a good book, for an easy introduction to two challenging portions of physics, special and general relativity. Written by the former of the theories, Albert Einstein. The narrator of this book does a poor job trying to convey the information in this book, especially the equations and the scientific notation in the book. He calls k' "k to the first" rather than "k prime" as it should be. Someone familiar with physics or at least science should narrate this book.

This book needs to be re-recorded.
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
Not until it's re-recorded (see below). I would definitely recommend the Kindle or paper version, or perhaps Learning Ally has a better recording for their subscribers.
What didn't you like about Jason McCoy's performance?
This narrator does not use the correct words for the mathematical notation. For instance, he says, "k to the first" instead of "k prime." It's not an exponent. He also mispronounces even common words like "continuum" and "analogous." There are other instances of both types of error. This book should be re-recorded by someone familiar with mathematical notation and with better reading skills. In my opinion, based on my experience recording books long ago, a book for sale should be recorded in the presence of someone who listens and checks and re-records when mistakes are made. For this book, the checker also needs a minimum level of scientific or mathematical, and language arts, background in order for the book to be successful.
Did Relativity of Einstein inspire you to do anything?
I am inspired to go back and spend more time understanding the details. I will need to see the equations, as it was tough to visualize them the way they were read.
Any additional comments?
After listening, I am not convinced that Jason McCoy understood what he read. I have never had that impression of an audible narrator before. I am disappointed. May I have a credit back on my account? The content is good, but the reading is not of sufficient quality to charge money for it.
You don't have to post this, but I do hope you take it to heart.

After listening to this book, I realize that I will not be able to give an accurate review until I listen to it a thousand more times and even then I still may not understand this completely. A very complex listen.

Too wooden
The information was interesting, but the narration was choppy, monotone, and boring.

Dry. Very dry.
While I love science and would like to know more about relativity, this is not really a book for a layman like me.

Relativity of Einstein
This is not a good listening book. It is not only to wordy, it gets very dry and boring if the reader doesn't have a good science background, despite the claim by the book, to be designed just for such people. Waste if money, and a excellent example of why so many people hate science.

Terrible recording, very badly read
If this book wasn't for you, who do you think might enjoy it more?
This is so badly produced that I would not recommend it to anyone.
Has Relativity of Einstein put you off other books in this genre?
My problem is not with the genre, just the production.
How did the narrator detract from the book?
It is very badly read. It is almost impossible to follow the gist of a book like this when the reader puts emphasis and breaths in the wrong places, implying punctuation where there isn't any and ignoring it when it is there. He clearly is not familiar with the topic and it obviously was not proof-read (listened?).
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Relativity of Einstein?
I would replace them all.
Any additional comments?
The recording quality is awful and varies between sections. The best parts sound like they were recorded in a metal box, the worst have annoying background noise.

Electric car crash leads to battery blaze
Impact test prompts safety probe
A GM Volt e-car has burst into flames following a crash.
To be fair, the crash was intentional. It was a side-impact test performed by the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in May, but has now prompted a probe into e-car battery safety, Reuters reports.
And the fire broke out more than three weeks after the prang. The NHTSA said it doesn't know why the fire started.
No other Volts have every caught fire, GM said, stressing the the vehicle is "a safe car". The Volt is set to be sold over here in 2012 as the Vauxhall Ampera.
The NHTSA told the newsagency that it doesn't believe e-cars pose any greater fire risk than petrol-powered vehicles do, but it has approached e-car and battery makers with a view to consulting on battery safety policy.
The Volt contains a 181kg Lithium ion battery pack made by South Korea's LG Chem. It said it was working with the NHTSA and GM on the matter. ®

Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey
195 Little Albany Street
New Brunswick, NJ 08903-2681
Current research of the White Laboratory at Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey has focused on translational research modulating the apoptosis pathway for cancer therapy and on the role of autophagy and cellular metabolism in cancer progression and treatment. The White group discovered that tumor cells activate the cellular self-cannibalization process of autophagy to survive the stress of tumor growth. This was the first demonstration that autophagy is a cancer survival mechanism for solid tumors and that inhibition of autophagy may be a novel approach to improve solid tumor therapy.
In collaboration with the laboratory of Dr. Josh Rabinowitz at Princeton University the White group went on to demonstrate that tumor cells require autophagy to sustain tumor metabolism and survival. In Ras-driven cancers, autophagy is induced and critical for tumor growth. In models of Ras-driven lung cancer, autophagy is required for progression to aggressive carcinomas, as autophagy blockade causes lung tumors instead to progress to benign oncocytomas. Thus, autophagy promotes the growth and progression of lung cancer to aggressive disease, and autophagy inhibition is a novel means to suppress lung tumor growth and divert progression to benign disease. Clinical trials to test this concept are underway.
The White Lab is supported by the following grants:

Mary Jo White (left), President Barack Obama's choice to be the next chairwoman of the Securities and Exchange Commission, sailed through her Senate Banking Committee confirmation Tuesday, with a vote of 21-1.
Her nomination now goes to the full Senate, where it is expected to be met with little resistance. Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, a member of the banking committee, cast the lone no vote on White's nomination.
During her nomination hearing before the banking committee on March 12, White told lawmakers that, if confirmed, she would commit to review the comments the agency receives on its request issued March 1 for public data on the "potential regulatory costs to implement potential changes to fiduciary standards for broker/dealers and investment advisors" before writing a rule, as "this is an important area."
The Financial Planning Coalition released a statement the same day, stating that "In light of her vow to make the American people her 'client,' Ms. White's appointment would reaffirm the government's commitment to greater investor protection at an especially critical time." The Coalition "looks forward to Ms. White's confirmation by the full Senate in the coming days and to working with her as the SEC examines a uniform fiduciary standard, in particular, and addresses the need for more frequent investment adviser examinations."
The same day, the banking committee approved a less enthusiastic party-line vote of 12-10 for Richard Cordray to be director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB).
His confirmation now moves to the full Senate, where its fate is less than certain.
Rachel Weintraub, legislative director and senior counsel at the Consumer Federation of America, said in a statement that with the vote to confirm Cordray, the Senate Committee "prioritized the interests of consumers." Consumers, she said, "need a confirmed director at CFPB to make sure that the Bureau's work to date is not compromised and that consumers can make decisions about their financial future knowing that consistent and predictable safeguards are in place."

The Houston Dynamo saw their 11-game unbeaten streak and 10-game home unbeaten streak in all competitions both come to an end Wednesday, losing 3-1 to Mexican power Pumas UNAM in CONCACAF Champions League Group B play.
Pumas went ahead 2-0 with a pair of goals in the first 30 minutes. Juan Carlos Cacho converted a penalty kick in the 19th minute, and Fernando Espinoza finished off a counter-attack in the 30th minute.
The Dynamo pulled a goal back in the 39th minute when Geoff Cameron made a run down the right and crossed for Nate Jaqua. In traffic, the cross deflected off of Pumas defender Marco Antonio Palacios for the lone Dynamo goal.
Pumas essentially put the game away in the 69th minute when Marco Antonio Palacios atoned for his own goal with a sensational backheel volley directly from a corner kick.
The teams combined for 34 fouls in the match, with Pumas earning five yellow cards and the Dynamo one.
Houston is now 1-1-2 in Champions League play for a total of five points with two games remaining, trailing Pumas (9) and Luis Angel Firpo (7) in the standings with two games remaining for Houston and Firpo and one for Pumas and San Francisco F.C.

Welcome Scribers and Readers, PJ Sharon here. I have with me as today's guest, Brenda Maxfield. Her short story, SEEKING CHRISTMAS hit home with me since neither of my two sons has a relationship with their dad. Brenda Maxfield's perspective from the minds of teen siblings, Courtney and Dennis, truly reflected how I imagine my sons dealing with this situation. And may I also say, I LOVE this cover!
Blurb for Seeking Christmas (an Ocean Mist short story Two):
The Christmas season has eighteen-year-old Courtney crossing the state line with her little brother Dennis to rendezvous with the man who deserted them years ago. Courtney remembers him only as the tall man who ran away. Dennis doesn't remember him at all.
Courtney is furious, but Denny is curious. Will their meeting result in a happy Christmas memory or another miserable disappointment?
I asked Brenda what made her write this as a short story. Here's what she had to say.Take it away Brenda…
Thanks PJ!
My first thought is that "Short Can Be Sweet". But there was more to my decision than simply wanting to write a short story. Here's what happened.
Open Call for Submissions: Such musical words of opportunity to any writer's ears.
Except when such writer is buried deep in her latest work-in-progress and stretched thin between a day job, family, and uh, well, trying to stay sane!
That's where I found myself a while back when my publisher put out a call for submissions. Sometimes emails are ripped open like paper envelopes showing checks through tiny little windows — and that's how I opened that one. Yet even while my eyes flew downward over the content, censuring comments such as, "Who are you kidding, Brenda? You're insane. All you need is another project…" coursed through my mind.
You know how it goes, scolding yourself even as you continue with whatever you were doing. (Hmmm, now I'm thinking about that luscious half-eaten piece of dark chocolate cake. But I digress.) My scolding continued until my eyes landed on the phrase, "Short stories only. No longer than 5,000 words."
I major perked up. That I could do! That I could find the time for!
I'd never considered short stories as part of my writing career. I love the YA novel, the joy of unfolding a character's crisis, angst, redemption, and growth over the course of chapters. I didn't realize the fun of writing a short story: the smaller time frame to completion, the opportunity to give readers a taste of your style, and the possibility for those same readers to get hooked and become fans of your novels.
I did answer that open call and send a short story to my publisher. I've also self-pubbed two other short stories. The first was Player, which introduced the characters in Buried Truth. (Writing about two-faced Daniela in Player turned out to be a blast. Oy, I couldn't stand the girl!) And this season, I've released Seeking Christmas, dealing with the aftermath of Cornered, which is releasing in a few weeks.
Christmas in September
I couldn't bear to let the Christmas season go by without a release. So in September, I started playing with the characters from Cornered in my mind. I wondered what would happen if Courtney heard from her jerk of a dad — the guy who deserted her and disappeared like so much water down the drain years previously. Would she want to see him? Could she swallow her anger long enough to hear him out? And what about her little brother? Would taking Denny to meet the guy result in a disaster? What kind of Christmas would it turn out to be?
The characters wouldn't stay quiet, yet I knew I didn't have time to write another full. Thus, the short story Seeking Christmas was born. (It's @ 8,000 words.)
I loved it. I loved the whole process. We writers are fortunate to have many avenues to get the stories out of our heads and onto the page. Short stories are just one of those ways. I heartily encourage all writers to give them a whirl!
And of course, I'd be totally thrilled if you'd give Seeking Christmas a read. During this season, take a bit of time to curl up with a blanket and a cup of hot chocolate (if you're in the northern hemisphere) and take a trip with Courtney and her little brother in Seeking Christmas. I hope you enjoy it!

Author Bio:
My passion is writing! What could be more delicious than inventing new characters and seeing where they take you?
I'm a teacher so I spend most of my waking hours with young people. I love chatting with them and hearing their views on love and life. My students are magical, and I am honored to be part of their lives.
I've lived in Honduras, Grand Cayman, and Costa Rica. Presently, I live in Indiana with my husband, Paul. We have two grown children and three precious grandchildren, special delivery from Africa.
When not teaching, I love to hole up in our lake cabin and write — often with a batch of popcorn nearby. (Oh, and did I mention dark chocolate?)

Using the internet is only worthwhile if you can show off the perverse and wonderful things you've found on it. So, now that we're always online and always in touch, we're constantly sharing links. But what if you've seen it already? Lie.
You've probably encountered this already: most of your friends are bored all day, and so they'll hop from blog to blog collecting GIFs and funny reads. Then, because everyone thinks they're the only ones with access to the World Wide Web, your friends will pass the links around. Sometimes with a OMG have you seen this? GChat IM. Sometimes with a wall post. Sometimes just a bare URL in an email.
But you. You've seen it already. You've already found the [Cute dog playing with cactus/link to movie trailer/Shit Birds Say YouTube video/funny GIF of Drake] on your own. It's not new.
So what do you say to your friend?
Here he is, arms outstretched, face contorted into a huge proud grin, link in hand. Click it, won't you? Oh, click it and love it!
Let them down easy.
For every link you've seen, you've passed off plenty of old ones yourself. As much as you want to assert your web hegemony and denounce, with all the contempt of a hundred thousand Tumblrs, Old.
That's old.
I've seen it.
Yeah I saw that.
With your nose in the air, an imperial hand waving the link away, you dismiss your friend. Seen it. Been there. Boring. Find something cool, and come back to me, okay?
Don't. Dont ever. As much as you might want to indulge the internet-inherent urge to look better than everyone, don't gratify that impulse—it can be stifled with just the slightest civility. Fib your way through.
Don't do that. Do this instead.
"haha" (make sure it's not a plane crash or something sad)
"lol" (make sure it's not an invitation to a funeral)
"I love it" (make sure it's not another plane crash)
Or, if you don't want to risk laughing at a plane crash or can't stomach a white lie to a friend, it is possible to acknowledge an old link.
"Oh, yeah, I saw that!"
"I know, I can't believe it either!"
"Ah I love that! Have you seen [insert related/unrelated cool thing].
The gentle nod approach will give your partner the satisfaction online existence acknowledgement without the stinging pain of being a few minutes behind the zeitgeist. If we can't IM each other the resplendent ocean bounty of the internet, we'll turn against one another. Spite and resentment will rule the day, not rage faces and cat breading. An internet with less sincerity might sully our souls, but an internet across which shooting links isn't safe from reproach is the worst hell of all.

For Michael Beloff, a financial planner with Barnum Financial Group in Shelton, Conn., The American College's recent unrolling of a new Chartered Special Needs Consultant (ChSNC) designation, designed to help advisors manage the emotional and financial complexities of planning for families that have children with special needs, is a huge step forward for the financial planning industry.
Financial planning for families that have children with special needs has been Beloff's specialty since he became a licenced advisor in 2002, and one that he has worked in, for the most part, in an isolated manner, since there are not a whole lot of advisors who work with special-needs families.
His interest in advising such families arose from his personal situation: "I have a son, now aged 15, who at the time was diagnosed with autism," Beloff says. "I looked at my own situation and realized that if I had to do something for my son on a long-term basis, so would many other families out there."
But at the time, the special-needs planning area was a totally new field, and Beloff had to start from scratch, doing the necessary research and putting together outreach programs and workshops. He was fortunate enough, he says, to join MetLife, which even at the time, had a national center for special needs planning, "and they certified 200 advisors internally to get up to speed with planning for the intricacies of this marketplace."
But overall, "there were and still are only a few folk like myself who endeavor to figure this area out on their own, so any certification that can be done, either internally like MetLife does or externally like the new American College accreditation, and that can help advisors with the intricacies of planning in this area is a good thing, because there are so many pitfalls that advisors can run into."
These complexities start when a child with special needs reaches school age since most services are provided by the local school districts, Beloff says. Advisors must be able to help families figure out what these are, help them understand what their children are eligible for and also help them figure out what other benefits their children can use. All of this, he says, varies from state to state, so it's also important for an advisor to work with an attorney "who knows the rules of where you live" and can make sure that everything follows through.
Beyond the school years, "one of the real concerns of special-needs families from a planning standpoint these days is that there are so many kids in the system, and there are more kids under the age of 18 than there are over the age of 18 and being served by the adult system," Beloff says. "The issue is will the states, given some of the financial concerns [they're] going through right now, be able to support the larger amount of adults coming through the system at same funding levels they have been? Or will families have to provide more than they have done?" Regardless, families that have children with special needs do have to spend more than other families to get these children into adulthood and even then, depending on the disability, "there's a concern from a lot of families that their children will never be independent," Beloff says. There are a range of disabilities, of course (and different disabilities imply different levels of state aid), and they determine life expectancies, future capabilities and so on, which in turn determine how much a family will be able to provide for their child.
Typically, advisors haven't wanted to really serve this area because of the financial profile of many families. Many of the advisors that Beloff has come across through the years launched into the field on their own because their own children had disabilities of one kind or another. Since children with special needs require so much attention, only one parent can really work, he says, which means many families may not fall within the income brackets that advisors are typically targeting.
However, Beloff has seen the community growing since 2002, and he believes that more firms are now making an effort to train advisors in this very important area.
"Planning for families with special needs is a very complex area, and you need legal experts, tax experts and financial advisors who understand the issues and can go through them with their clients," he says. "Most importantly, everything in this area is truly individualized and even within an individual diagnosis there may be splinters on what a child can do, what his or her life expectancy may be and in light of those, what the family may be able to provide."

Precious time is often lost through the handling of Pos With Inventory System . Similarly, the more cash is handled the greater the security risk in stores. Fortunately, Point of Sale (POS) technology is making better control of cash in retail stores possible, resulting in benefit for both staff and customers.
One German furniture company has estimated that the payment process and handling of cash at the checkout takes between 15 to 25 seconds. As this is only one part of processing pos system, 15 to 25 seconds is quite substantial time and, when the seconds are calculated for the cash handling from every sale throughout the day…till operators are spending more time on this process than most business owners would like.
Then, there is also the concern of cash robbery and theft. On any given day in a retail business, one, a few or many more employees will handle cash. Think how many different times and how many different people will handle cash in a supermarket on any one day. It is also probable that many managers are reconciling cash and making deposits, which is why they use point of sale systems.
How Do You Select the Best Point Of Sale Systems in Pos With Inventory System ?
The term point-of-sale is used to describe a variety of things. This can include the checkout counter in a store or a place where transactions occur. More frequently, the phrase refers to a computerized cash register. The commonly used abbreviation for point-of-sale is POS. Each letter in the abbreviation is pronounced individually (e.g. P-O-S) versus pronouncing the abbreviation itself (e.g. paws).
When computers were first invented, large retailers were the first to implement point-of-sale systems to help automate many of the tasks involved with operating a retail store. These computers were very large and expensive. This limited the adoption of point-of-sale systems to large retailers such as grocery chains. The introduction of low cost personal computers during the 1980s allowed retail stores of all sizes to improve efficiencies with the help of pos systems.
A common point-of-sale system includes a computer, cash drawer, receipt printer, pole display, bar code scanner, magnetic swipe reader, modem and point-of-sale software. Each piece provides the following functionality:
- Personal Computer - Operates the POS software and provides hardware interfaces for devices such as printers, credit card readers and so on.
- Cash Drawer - A lock box that stores cash and is triggered to open by the pos software.
- Receipt Printer - Prints a paper copy of the sales transaction for the customer.
- Pole Display - LED display that faces the customer and shows each item and price scan.
2. Create inventory records and SKUs via the purchase order
3. Receive goods against the purchase order
4. On hand stock levels are increased based upon receiving
5. Print price tag with bar codes
6. Sell the goods via the point-of-sale cash register
7. On hand stock levels are depleted based upon SKU scans
8. Perpetual Inventory is automatically maintained
9. Generate reports on sales, inventory levels, purchases, and receiving
10. Manage inventory buying and markdown behavior based upon sales trends
As you can see, the simple point-of-sale system grew into a powerful information system for managers and store owners. Today, point-of-sale systems continue to innovate and some even include:
- eCommerce integration
- Integrated accounting
- CRM - Customer Relationship Module
- Electronic payment processing
- Gift card management
- Service order management
- Marketing
- Revolving accounts receivable
- Customer traffic counters
- Integrated video surveillance
- Open To Buy planning
- Linear inventory modeling
- Special order management
- EDI (electronic ordering)
- And much more...
As retail management systems continue to add more robust features, the term point-of-sale will continue to refer to just a module within the overall system.
POS - Point of Sale Explained
An organized enterprise does not exist in a vacuum. Rather, it is dependent on its external environment. It is a humble part of many systems, such as its own industry, the economy, and society as a whole. Thus, the enterprise receives various inputs, changes them somehow, and releases the outputs to the environment.
However, this simple model needs to be expanded and developed into a model of operational management that indicates how the various inputs are transformed through the managerial functions of planning, organizing, staffing, leading and controlling. Clearly, an open system model that includes interactions between the enterprise and its external environment must describe Point of Sale systems.
One should never forget that the customer, who is the reason for the existence of virtually all businesses, is outside a company. It is through the Point of Sale systems that the needs of customers are identified; this knowledge enables the firm to provide products and services at a profit.
POS - Point of Sale Explained
Point of sale (POS) systems are used by hundreds of businesses in order to streamline the purchasing process as well as track the various financial and inventory data that relates to the sales made. Although the general concept behind each system is virtually the same, different industries can purchase POS systems that are tailor made for their needs. Think of it is a delivery service: A bike delivery would work fine for a local newspaper, but UPS would have to shut down if it didn't have delivery trucks. The same concept applies to POS sale systems used in retail stores, restaurants, and hotels. Each specific industry can benefit from a system that is designed for their specific needs.
Retail POS systems are specialized at quick and easy one time sales. The items stored in their database are well defined, and although there can be many colors or sizes offered for one item, there isn't very much variation in the product. If one person buys a black jacket, although the jacket comes in blue, all the people who buy the black on are still getting the same item. This is why retail POS systems are the simplest in nature. In regards to the sale process, all they need is to pull up an item's information from inventory and remove it upon purchase. Of course, this is just in reference the the sales aspect of the system; there are still complex inventory control settings and sales efficiency metrics that that can be used, but in terms of making a sale, the retail system is the most simplistic.
Clearly, when starting a business it important to take the industry specific POS into account. Don't just try and find the best deal, but rather what will work best to make your company run efficiently. Understanding why each system is unique will help when trying to make the decision for what POS system to purchase. Although the examples given were for specific industries, the systems can be applied to different industries that have similar purchasing processes: The retail POS can be used in stores ranging from clothing to electronics and the restaurant system can be used in various hospitality related industries.

I am still living off of this concertCliche and common as it is, I must say it: This concert changed my life. As Bono says about their foundation in Christianity, I say about this concert: "This stuff I picked up back then, I am still living off of." Twenty five plus years later, there is something about the memory and experience of this night that affects me emotionally spiritually...probably every day! i can remember almost every song, but nothing so clear as the fist few minutes when my brother and i realized: a)We thought the Alarm, who had just opened for U2, was the best concert we had seen. As amazing as they were, U2 was a whole nother level and league. I am aware Bono may have been extra passionate this night, as he apparently had walked the streets of New Haven earlier in the day (according to the newspaper) apologizing to folks for the previous NH concert, where he had a blowup on stage. It seemed so short...maybe because there were tow opening bands and they had to quit; maybe because any U2 concert in this era would be too short. It wasn't quite sold out. But the band was. I have hardly ever celebrated as much as when they came on stage;never grieved as much as when Bono said "GoodNight" Already?

text: The offensive juggernaut that is the Texas Rangers found themselves on the other side of the coin last night, falling behind to the White Sox 18-0 before scratching two of their own runs across the plate. Another sub-par performance by Roy Oswalt is only part of the story, as a generally-robust Rangers bullpen let the Southsiders pour it on as the game continued. In all, it was enough to put deep creases of a grimace across skipper Ron Washington's face.
