A Sandwich A Day: The Garden at Jimmy's Serious Sandwiches in Little Rock, AR
A different sandwich profiled every single day.
In this great country of ours, one could eat a different sandwich every day of the year—so that's what we'll do. Here's A Sandwich a Day, our daily look at sandwiches around the country. Got a sandwich we should check out? Let us know. —The Mgmt.
Jimmy's Serious Sandwiches doesn't advertise much. It doesn't need to. The Midtown eatery is usually packed with folks from every walk of life during the lunch hour. Patrons will cruise the block looking for a place to park; the 36-spot lot shared with the hotel next door is always full.
The one sandwich that comes to mind for anyone who's ventured through the door at Jimmy's is The Garden ($6.95). Back in 1979 it won the first place in the National Sandwich Contest. Though the recipe for the sandwich is actually posted on the wall next to the door, few actually make it at home. They'd rather get their fix in the restaurant or in a lunch box to go.
It's a meaty sandwich with absolutely no meat. The combination of chopped spinach, green onion, green bell pepper, alfalfa sprouts, mushrooms, mayo, sunflower seeds, lemon juice and cheddar, Swiss, and Provolone cheeses on pumpernickel bread may not seem like it'd work, but it does—it's the perfect combination of fresh and hearty to put you back on your feet and back to work. Paired up with twice baked potatoes and a Red Zinger Iced Tea, you'll feel like you've done something good for your body. Just don't forget to check your teeth for rogue spinach bits afterwards.

I have read and learned so much on my spiritual journey and it really has changed me for the better. My problem is that I can now see how other people struggle and I want to help them get out of their comfort zone and have the same breakthroughs I had.
At the moment all I can do is share my intellectual knowledge with people but that seems to confuse more than to helps them. As a result, people move away from me when I only want to help them.
How do I become a real teacher without putting people off?
Over the past several years I have been challenged socially and financially. I have very limited resources and my mind seems focused on fears rather than on the future.
I am also worried that past mistakes and nasty people whom I have left behind will come back to haunt me.
How can I change my mind-set so that I can focus on the future?
Here are guidelines on how to meditate.
Should your eyes be open or closed? How must you sit? How must you breathe?
You don't need to be an expert to experience the calm, relaxing state of meditation.
Just follow these basic steps and you will be off to a good start.
Click on this link to download the recording, and then save it on your computer.
I have recently discovered meditation and have been meditating for twenty minutes daily for the past two months. I have already experienced some wonderful benefits, for example an increase in my confidence and realizing that I was going to do something wrong before I did it.
I have tried very hard to reach the deep meditative stage where I can directly connect with God and get answers to my questions. At the moment I am going through a lot of changes in terms of my career, and I am really worried about making wrong decisions. I feel that no matter how hard I try to connect to God to get help with these decisions, He is just not there.
What is the process for connecting to God? I am worried that I have selected the wrong career and want God's opinion before it is too late.
There was a time when 'meditation or no meditation?' was a serious issue for me. I come from a Protestant background where in my (admittedly biased) view prayer was a practice of reciting long-winded and important-sounding words. I struggled for years with the concept of prayer. It did not make sense to me that in church other people should pray on my behalf - but then I thought that was just me being the rebel again, and I kept quiet about it.
Outside of church I read books about prayer, and the prayers of other people. Still, I had this feeling that something was missing. Eventually I gave up on figuring out what prayer is about and just got on with life.
Of course I had conversations in my mind with God, but none of the books that I read described these conversations as prayer. The conversations were also quite one-sided, because I told God

Providing what it labels as "self-service cloud automation", Seattle-based Skytap has ramped up its core offering this week with additional management features for robust virtual private networking. Incremental functions for virtualized computing environments now include advanced notification services, self-healing automation capabilities and support for Open Virtualization Format (OVF).
Focused on both public and hybrid cloud categories, Skytap is aiming to capture a voice among business users as well as offering the "visibility and control" required by IT professionals. The company justifies the need for its fine tuning control products by citing statements from Gartner saying that the cloud has moved on; where we were initially concerned with what the cloud is and how will it impact business, we now seek to understand what applications are ideal candidates for different cloud models.
Gartner analyst Cameron Haight states that, "What we are observing are that many enterprises are leveraging public and even hybrid cloud models for low-risk scenarios that still require placement flexibility such as development and testing, product demonstrations, and technical training."
Skytap's advanced notification service provides real-time alerts when end users or groups reach configurable utilization levels of cloud computing capacity. Examples include "administrator defined thresholds" for available storage, compute, and networking capacity that are assigned as quotas to specific end users or teams. Notifications can also be set based on total virtual machine hours or the number of total hours that any given virtual configuration has been continuously running.
According to Skytap, "Real-time notification rules are intuitive to set up and flexible. Businesses benefit from increased control and visibility on cloud usage and costs so that they can proactively avoid the 'end-of-month' surprise bill. Automated notifications ultimately help to align end users and IT operations on the common goal of being resource efficient and to control costs."
The company has also extended its secure networking intelligence by automatically detecting VPN connections that may periodically disconnect or fail to reconnect properly and reconnecting available VPN connections with the Skytap hybrid cloud environment. The company says that this self-healing automation ensures that a Skytap cloud remains available and securely connected to private data centers, while reducing service interruption and the need to manually troubleshoot periodic VPN connectivity issues.
Skytap also now supports Open Virtualization Format (OVF), an open standard for packaging and distributing virtual machines (VMs) and software. OVF enables the distribution of enterprise software by automating the import and installation of existing workloads and virtualized configurations between private, hybrid, and public cloud infrastructures. Support of OVF is generally agreed to ease VM portability and decrease platform dependence by enabling users to leverage a common set of tools across virtual environments.

There is a gender gap in Wikipedia and the other projects in the Wikimedia Movement. This page exists to help store information and ideas and to catalog projects that are trying to close that gap.
Are you from the press or media? Are you writing a story about the gender gap or gender issues on Wikipedia and sister projects? Contact presswikimedia.org to connect with community members who are subject matter specialists.
The Wikimedia community was aware of the gender gap from its earliest days, but the first large-scale study that tried to quantify it was a survey conducted by the United Nations University and published in March 2010.[1]
This page seeks to act as a hub for resources and information about Wikimedia's gender gap, and to adequately quantify the gender gap, in particular by presenting studies on the subject and by collecting anecdotal evidence about why women leave or never join Wikipedia.

The initial research that increased attention on this issue was from a UNU survey, the results of which can be viewed and downloaded at wikipediasurvey.org[dead link] (archive). However, like all surveys where who responds is self-selected, it was biased towards certain types of demographics, and it gives us only a rough working idea of how big the gender gap is.
While we discuss practical projects for inviting women to edit (see the section below), we should think about how measuring the gender gap accurately can be done. We should also collect some anecdotal stories about why women leave Wikipedia or never join to begin with, as a way of showing people what the gender gap feels like on a more personal level.
ڳالهه ٻولهه
The gender gap mailing list is the best place to talk about this with other people who are interested and can help. Started on January 31st, 2011, it has a mix of longtime Wikimedians and people from other fields who arrived through their interest in the subject, so it's helpful to introduce yourself in your first post.
Since this is a sensitive topic, the mailing list has a simple code of conduct. The gist is, be considerate and constructive. That means:
- No personal attacks.
- Try to stay on topic and take other things off-list.
- Try to turn fighting into constructive discussion, or disengage/take it off-list.
- Help guide discussion toward concrete action.
- Be aware that using an aggressive or argumentative tone (or even just posting too much) can discourage people from participating.
The Gender Gap Task Force (GGTF) on the English Wikipedia was set up in 2013 to discuss issues that might be making the gender gap worse there, and to offer a space where people can ask for help with articles.
In 2020, a Telegram channel is opened to host discussions. It may be joined following that link : https://t.me/joinchat/DS2I3BY-f3dxvUNzNd72kg
You don't have to join the mailing list or read the recent press to help correct the gender gap. You don't need to have edited before either! If you're interested, the following projects need the help of women and men alike to be successful, so don't be shy about joining in.
Resources within Wikimedia communities
- There are different grant opportunities from the Wikimedia Foundation to fund your project ideas to reduce the gender gap. A good place to start is with Rapid Grants (under 2,000 USD and proposals accepted year-round). Larger projects can apply for a Project Grant and there are Conference Grants for in-person regional or thematic events.
- Check out the list of proposals for more female editors. A lot these come from the mailing list, and you can add more.

Four Chicago homers help rookie to third straight win
Johnson caps debut season with victory after taking no-hit bid into fifth
CHICAGO -- Erik Johnson finished off the achievement of his primary 2013 goal with the White Sox 6-5 victory against the Royals on Saturday night at U.S. Cellular Field.
And that goal was not to pick up his third straight victory, which he did, or to help the White Sox avoid 100 losses, which they guaranteed by virtue of their four homers behind Johnson's mound work.
In reality, Johnson (3-2) reached his goal in early September and just worked toward his future over the past three weeks.
"My goal was to get here," said Johnson, who became the first White Sox rookie to win three consecutive starts since John Danks in 2007. "But now my goal is to stay here."
Johnson held the Royals (85-76) hitless for 4 1/3 innings, before Mike Moustakas connected on a solo homer to right. The right-hander allowed two more runs in the sixth, courtesy of Billy Butler's two-run shot after Eric Hosmer's single.
Johnson's fifth and final big league start of his rookie campaign finished with three earned runs on five hits over 5 1/3 innings, with Johnson fanning four and walking three. On the heels of his breakout performance for both Double-A Birmingham and Triple-A Charlotte, Johnson performed quite well over 27 2/3 innings with the White Sox (63-98) and finished with a 3.25 ERA.
"I looked at it as a learning process," said Johnson, who threw 61 of his 93 pitches for strikes. "As much as I could learn from [pitching coach Don Cooper, manager Robin Ventura], anyone in this clubhouse. Going out there on the mound and competing I was learning a lot too. I thought overall it was a good experience and a great opportunity for me."
"He was good. Kind of mixing it up. I thought his ball had a little life early," Ventura said. "Maybe not so much fifth and sixth inning, when they got to him. Again, the way it has been going for us, it's a tough game to win, but he has given us every opportunity to do it, which is impressive for a kid that has come up in September."
Marcus Semien gave the White Sox a 1-0 lead in the second, when he connected off Royals starter Yordano Ventura (0-1) for his second career home run. Jordan Danks followed with an opposite field shot to left.
Adam Dunn produced home run No. 3, his 34th this season, by going deep in the third with two outs after Gordon Beckham's single. And Conor Gillaspie completed the White Sox power outburst with a two-run blast in the seventh off left-handed reliever Tim Collins.
"Left-on-left --- look at the numbers. Gillaspie's hitting .153 against lefties and Tim's been really good out of the 'pen for us," said Royals manager Ned Yost. "The pitch wasn't horrible. The pitch was down. He tried to hit the corner. and it came back toward the middle a little bit."
"It's good to get a win in front of a good crowd too. It's a great feeling," said Semien, who broke an 0-for-14 funk with three hits. "I'm proud of Erik for getting another win under his belt. Just happy with how we battled."
Charlie Leesman and Daniel Webb combined to throw 1 2/3 innings of scoreless relief, striking out three in the process. The Royals scored two in the eighth on Salvador Perez's two-run homer off Matt Lindstrom, but that's as close as they got.
With the way the season has gone, getting win No. 63 and avoiding 100 losses certainly wasn't going to be easy. Finishing with 98 or 99 defeats clearly didn't put Ventura any more at ease with this disappointing showing.
"People might make a big deal about 100," Ventura said. "But it's not going to make me feel any better going into the offseason knowing the work that's got to go into next year."
On a night when White Sox hitting coach Jeff Manto was relieved of his duties, the South Siders produced four homers among their nine hits.
"To be honest with you, at this level, there are a few things hitting coaches say or do differently," Dunn said. "For the most part, you are what you are by the time you're up here. All you can ask for is a guy that is in there every single day watching your swing and knowing your swing. He's got 15 guys' swings to know. He did a great job in my opinion."

The Congressional Budget Office released a new report Monday on the distribution of income in the U.S.
Ignoring means-tested transfers and federal taxes, the average household income in 2014 was $19,000 for the lowest fifth and $281,000 for the highest fifth. The distribution was "highly skewed" at the very top, the CBO said, with an average income of $1.8 million for the 1.2 million households that made up the top 1 percent.
Taxes and transfer had a significant effect on the final distribution, however, raising incomes in the bottom fifth to $36,000 and lowering incomes in the top fifth to $207,000.
Many more interesting details in the report, here.

Counseling Health and Wellness
The idea of a balanced, fulfilling life is not new to CSB/SJU. Under the overarching Benedictine values of our founders, CSB and SJU have historically focused on providing transformative experiences that enable students to develop their own intellectual, spiritual, emotional and physical qualities to their fullest potential. A wide variety of approaches to wellness exist for students — from counseling services and peer programs to medical referral services and health information and resources — inside and outside the classroom, students experience a holistic approach to promoting health in body, mind and spirit.

I just think it's nice there are places that won't get you worried, nervous, or worked up when there are so many places that can get you frustrated.

By now, you probably know the names of the politicians involved on both sides of the Harbor Point debate — the ongoing argument over $107 million in public financing for the $1.8 billion waterfront project.
Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, among other local politicians, has been a vocal supporter of the plan, which she says will bring Baltimore badly needed jobs and eventually swell the city's tax rolls. Councilman Carl Stokes, chairman of the taxation committee, has been a staunch opponent, arguing that the developer shouldn't benefit from public money that would be better used on essential city services.
But who's been working behind the scenes, contributing money to politicians — in support of or opposition to the project? It's perhaps no surprise: Those supporting Harbor Point have a history of donating to Rawlings-Blake. Those opposed have a history of donating to Stokes.
Michael S. Beatty's Harbor Point Development Group LLC, which would build the project to house Exelon's new regional headquarters, recently registered a lobbyist with the city: Ryan J. Potter, a partner in the law firm Gallagher Evelius & Jones LLP.
Gallagher Evelius & Jones' managing partner is the political kingmaker Richard O. Berndt, whom Rawlings-Blake's father once called "the political pope of Baltimore." Former Mayor William Donald Schaefer nicknamed Berndt "the German general" and credited him with the creation of the Inner Harbor. The firm, which also represents Beatty's former partner John Paterakis Sr. and his Harbor East development, has contributed heavily to Rawlings-Blake.
During her mayoral bid, the firm and its lawyers donated about $35,000 to Rawlings-Blake.
Campaign finance laws limit contributions to $4,000 per company or individuals. While the law firm maxed out with a gift of $4,000, individuals could give more. For instance, lawyer Nita L. Schultz, who specializes in real estate development and government financing, gave the mayor $4,000, while attorney Thomas B. Lewis, who specializes in, among other things, tax increment financing, gave her $2,500.
Exelon Corp., the highest-profile tenant of Harbor Point, also donated $1,000 to Rawlings-Blake.
Gallagher Evelius & Jones also has donated to Baltimore City Council President Bernard C. "Jack" Young and Councilman James Kraft, who are strong supporters of the project.
Additionally, Beatty — whose 27-arce development would sit between Harbor East and Fells Point — has hired a public relations firm: Kearney O'Doherty Public Affairs, run by Gov. Martin O'Malley's former spokesman Steve Kearney and Damian O'Doherty, older brother of Rawlings-Blake's departing policy and communications director, Ryan O'Doherty.
On the other side, Stokes was backed financially in the last election cycle by Orioles majority owner Peter G, Angelos. Though he has not spoken publicly about the deal, Angelos' allies have been critical of the approximately $400 million in public subsidies proposed for the project.
At a recent council hearing, Ronald Kreitner, longtime head of the nonprofit Westside Renaissance, called the development the "biggest raid on the public treasury in the history of Baltimore."
Westside Renaissance, the nonprofit Kreitner heads, focuses on the westside of downtown. The group's chairman is Angelos, a major downtown property owner with a stake in protecting that district.
During the last campaign, Angelos, his lawyers and business entities gave about $50,000 to Stokes. For instance, Stokes received $2,500 in campaign contributions from both Mid-Atlantic Sports Network and Artemis Properties, both Angelos businesses.
The next hearing on Harbor Point's tax increment financing is scheduled for Aug. 7.

Our troop meets most Monday nights during the School Year. We enjoy monthly weekend camping trips. We offer regular camping events like our Wild Game Camp and Rocket Launch Camp with a mix of new or alternating camps like winter camping, bike camp, and cave camp. We mix that with some fun activities like archery, bowling, visiting base camp, vertical endeavors, ect.... Our Youth Leadership Council (YLC) determines the schedule of activities.
We plan a 7 day trip to Tomahawk Scout Reservation each summer. Each year older scouts participate in a high adventure trip such as Glacier National Park by Amtrak Train, Boundary Waters Canoe Area, Colorado High Adventure Base, Hiking Isle Royale, Kayaking Apostle Islands, Hiking the Superior Hiking Trail, Driving to Yellowstone, Rocky Mountain High Adventure Base and more. We also offer a High Adventure trip for all scouts in the troop. These are usually closer to home, reasonably priced, and activities fit scouts 11-17 years old. What makes them a High Adventure is that they are longer then a weekend camping trip and focuses on fun new experiences. We have Canoed/Kayaked, done trollhaugen's zip line and ropes course, biked 50 miles, horseback riding, mini golf, white water rafting, 1 night remote camping and more.
Our troop registered 31 boys for 2019 and in March 2019 started a Troop for Girls registering 6 girls. We hold a Court of Honor (advancement) four times a year. We offer advancement and merit badges monthly with a special Troop Merit Badge Saturday each spring. To help keep troop dues down and camping trips reasonable we hold fundraisers several times a year. In the past we have done fundraising that includes wreath sales, pancake breakfast, mulch sale, electronics recycling, garage sale, bagging groceries at Cub Foods and a craft sale. Patrols are organized by age with many opportunities for leadership. We have monthly service projects. Our charter organization is Roseville Lutheran Church. Prospective scouts are welcome to come check out a meeting.

Yesterday we went to visit my friend. She gave birth 10 days ago - a baby girl named Sha'ked. Her firstborn son, Ofir, is almost 3 years. About 2 years ago I gave my friend a 8X8 album I made with his first months pictures. This time I gave her a pre-made album for baby girl and I sewed a marker pens roll for Ofir.
The front & back fabrics are old pants of mine and the blue fabric is my husband's old shirt - this is my way to recycle... LOL
Anyway - here's the roll: empty, full, from the back & front, rolled & wrapped:
What do you say?
I think I should start sewing more complicated things (too afraid at this point!)

[Intro: 2Pac]
There's gon' be some stuff you gon' see
That's gon' make it hard to smile in the future
But through whatever you see
Through all the rain and the pain
You gotta keep your sense of humor
You gotta be able to smile through all this bullshit
Remember that!
Mmm, yeah, keep ya head up! Yeah
[Verse 1: 2Pac]
Our lifestyles be close-captioned, addicted to fatal attractions
Pictures of actions be played back in the midst of mashin'
No fairy tales for this young black male
Some see me stranded in this land of hell, jail, and crack sales
Hustlers hardly think of culture
Or the repercussions while bustin' on backstabbin' vultures
Sellin' my soul for material wishes, fast cars, and bitches
Wishin' I live my life a legend, immortalized in pictures
Why shed tears? Save your sympathy
My childhood years were spent buryin' my peers in the cemetary
Here's a message to the newborns waitin' to breathe
If you believe, then you can achieve: just look at me!
Against all odds, though life is hard we carry on
Livin' in the projects, broke with no lights on
To all the seeds that follow me, protect your essence
Born with less, but you still precious; just smile for me now!
[Hook: Johnny P & (2Pac)]
Smile for me, won't you smile? (Smile for me now)
Just smile, smile for me (Smile)
(What you lookin' all sad for?
Nigga, you black, smile for me now)
Smile for me
(Nigga, you ain't got nothin' to be worried about)
Won't you smile? (No doubt, smile for me now)
Just smile (And the next generation)
[Verse 2: Scarface]
Now, as I open up my story, with the blaze of your blunts
And you can picture thoughts slowly, up on phrases I wrote
And I can walk you through the days that I done
I often wish that I could save everyone, but I'm a dreamer
Have you ever seen a nigga who was strong in the game
Overlookin' his tomorrows, and they finally came?
Look back on childhood memories, and I'm still feelin' the pain
Turnin' circles in my 9th grade, dealin' cocaine
Too many hassles in my local life, survivin' the strain
And a man without a focus, life could drive him insane
Stuck inside a ghetto fantasy hopin' it change
But when I focus on reality we broke and in chains
Had a dream of livin' wealthy and makin' it big
Over football chose to cook raw, wouldn't take but I did
And after all my momma's thankin' God for blessin' the child
All my momma gots to do now is collect it and smile; smile!
[Hook: Johnny P]
Smile for me, won't you smile?
Just smile, smile for me
Smile for me
Won't you smile? Just smile
[Verse 3: 2Pac]
Fuck the world, as we unloading, witness furious speeds
Unanswered questions keep us all stressin', curious G's
Backstabbed and bleedin'
Crooked thoughts laced with weed, learnin'
Duckin' stray shots, bullets be hot, they burnin'
Inhale the sherm smoke, visualize the flames
Will I be smothered by my own pain?
Strange whispers, cowards conversate, so quick to diss us
Takin' pictures for the feds in desperate hopes they'd get us
Hit us all, give us plenty centuries
Forgive my sins, since I entered many penitentiaries
The best revenge is "Fuck friends!" – we military minded soldiers
Bustin' shots blindly, tryin' to find Jehovah
To help me, somebody save me, lost and crazy
Scared to drop a seed hopin' I ain't cursed my babies
Maybe now niggas feel me now, picture my pain
Embrace my words, make the world change
And still I smile, nigga
[Bridge: Scarface]
And now a moment of silence, let us pray
And as you journey into outerspace
May the angels help to lead the way
May the prayers that our families made
Shine up on your soul to keep you safe
And all the homies that done passed away
They there to greet you as you pass the gates
And as you headed to the tunnel's light
I hope it leads to eternal life
We say the prayers for our homie 'Pac
[Hook: Johnny P]
Smile, smile for me
All you need to do is smile
Woooo smile for me
Come on, smile for me
Months after Tupac's death, this Scarface song featuring Tupac was released in February 1997. It became Scarface's biggest single and shed a lot of light on the inner thoughts and life lessons of 2Pac. It became his posthumous good-bye letter to the world.

Shaquille O'Neal's former mistress, Vanessa Lopez, is planning to cite NBA superstar Kobe Bryant, in her lawsuit against O'Neal.
Lopez wants to know what advice O'Neal gave to Bryant during the time he was being investigated for allegedly raping a woman in Colorado.
The suit was filed in Orange County, Florida for "intentional infliction of emotional distress and assault."
Lopez alleges O'Neal began harassing her after she learned she was possibly pregnant with their child.
According to Lopez, she broke off her relationship with O'Neal after he accused her of cheating, soon after she claims he began threatening her.
O'Neal attempted to have the suit dismissed but a judge denied the motion.
During Bryant's investigation he reportedly told cops that O'Neal would pay up to $1 million in hush money to different women. O'Neal denied the claim at the time and the rape charge against Brant was eventually dropped.
Lopez is deposing Bryant because she wants him to divulge more about the alleged "hush money" because she believes it will help prove that O'Neal is capable of going to extremes to keep women quiet.
Lopez does not feel safe saying, "I live every day fearing for my safety. I now have extreme anxiety because of Shaquille O'Neal's campaign to intimidate and silence me. Since the incidents began I have been plagued by anxiety and depression for which I have taken medication."
She goes on to say how she lost time with her dying mother because she was so scared to leave her home.
Lopez says overtime she has received threatening text messages and phone calls from O'Neal's family and friends.
The trial has been set for March 25, 2013. Lopez's attorneys are asking for the trial to be televised.

Welcome to my next blog post about Puppet. This one covers something I found on another blog, so it is nothing I "invented" or something like that. During the last weeks, I spent much time writing Puppet manifests for several tasks, e.g. preventing logrotate from stumbling across wrong file permissions and stuff like that. At […]... Read More

LPL Financial (LPLA) said Friday that it recruited a team with $650 million in assets formerly with SII Investments, part of National Planning Holdings, a network of independent broker-dealers affiliated with Jackson National Life.
MACRO Consulting Group, based in Parsipanny, N.J., includes five financial advisors and is led by Mark Cortazzo. The wealth-management team has its own asset-management program which includes wrap portfolios based on ETFs.
"We are delighted to welcome MACRO Consulting Group to the LPL Financial broker-dealer and hybrid RIA platforms," Bill Morrissey (left), executive vice president of business development at LPL Financial, in a statement.
"Over the years, the leaders of MACRO Consulting Group have built their firm into a true industry leader in every respect," he added. "Their decision to affiliate with LPL Financial is part of a broader trend of success we have experienced in attracting large and highly sophisticated teams of advisors to our company, driven by the unique integration of broker-dealer, custody and clearing capabilities that we offer."
About two weeks ago, LPL Financial recruited a team formerly affiliated with SagePoint Financial, part of the Advisor Group of broker-dealers owned by AIG, with about $175 million in assets.
"The industry-leading and highly integrated solutions that we provide to independent advisor groups are more important than ever in an environment of increasing regulatory requirements and business complexity," Morrissey added.
As of Sept. 30, the number of independent financial advisors affiliated with LPL Financial stood at 13,170, down 15 reps from 13,185 as of June 30, but up 371 from 12,799 a year ago.

Torrington High School to get $2.7 million to upgrade athletic fields
TORRINGTON >> Torrington High School's athletic facilities are receiving a $2.7 million update as part of a state grant.
The grant provides for a new football field, track, baseball diamond, soccer field, additional lighting and a new grandstand. The monies are part of $537 million in construction and maintenance spending statewide, approved by the Connecticut Bonding Commission, Friday.
"These renovations will enhance the facilities at Torrington High School, benefit student athletes at the school, increase use of this field and make it a destination for residents and visitors alike to enjoy," said Gov. Dannel Malloy, at a press event, Friday.
Rep. Michelle Cook (D-Torrington) praised passage of the grant, which Cook said she "vouched" for, in a release, Friday.
"High school sports are very important to Torrington, and our hard-working athletes deserve to be practicing and playing on fields that are in good condition," said Cook. "I'm glad that the state and commission are making this significant investment in Torrington and its student-athletes," said Cook, in a release.
Principal of Torrington High School, Joanne Creedon, also lauded passage of the grant in the same release.
"This is exciting news for Torrington High School, our very successful Torrington High School Athletics Department, student-athletes, coaches, and spectators, and in fact, the entire community," she said.

Over the past three decades, Monroe has grown from a sleepy town with its landmark single downtown traffic light on U.S. 2 into a bustling city of 17,000 people with both the benefits and problems that come with growth.
The future of the city will be determined in part by the voters' choice between two candidates for mayor.
Ed Davis, whose military experience includes duties as an attack helicopter pilot, has served on the City Council for two years. Geoffrey Thomas is a former City Council member whose six years in that role ended in 2009.
Among the issues being discussed in the race are the future of Monroe's historic downtown, continuing economic development and public safety.
Davis said he decided to run for mayor when the current mayor, Robert Zimmerman, decided not to seek re-election. The mayor and council had to make difficult budget decision during the recession, when city debt hit $11.5 million, Davis said.
That has been reduced this year by $6.5 million, he said. Davis said he tells people: "Do you realize how meaningful that is? That's one of my goals, to continue on and to come out of debt within a few years."
Davis said the city has not raised property taxes for the past two years and his goal would be to continue that for the next four years. "With the revenues now coming into the city, I think we can do that," he said.
As one step toward easing traffic bottlenecks in the city, Davis said the city hopes to begin work next year on a new east-west road north of U.S. 2. It would run from Tierne Place to Woods Creek Road and then link up again with the with U.S. 2.
Davis said that as mayor, he would support redeveloping and bringing new life to the city's historic downtown area.
In visiting cities throughout the state, he said that the older part of town is usually the heart and soul of any city. "It's more of that hometown feel," he said.
Yet Davis said that the newer developments on the north side of U.S. 2, including a Walmart scheduled to open next year, help bring people and potential customers to the city. Downtown businesses "can and do capitalize on that," he said.
Davis said he continues to oppose red light cameras in the city. He said he thinks that safety can be improved in school zones through steps such as signs with flashing lights and radar to tell drivers how fast they're going. "That works," he said.
Thomas said he believes his experience as a legislative analyst for the Snohomish County Council has provided him experience with many of the issues faced by local governments, including planning, redevelopment and budgeting.
Thomas said during his campaign he has visited 2,000 homes, giving potential voters a chance to ask questions.
"That demonstrates the way I would approach things with the council as mayor," he said. "It would be to try to find common ground across all seven council members, not just four to try to push an agenda."
Thomas said he would like to see more investment in the city's downtown. One way to do that would be to redirect a portion of the state's business and occupation tax to invest in such efforts through a program called the Main Street Tax Credit.
"I think it's important to talk to the downtown businesses and landowners and say, 'What are you willing to do to bring investment to the downtown?'" Thomas said. "There are people who live within walking distance of the downtown who don't feel there are safe walking routes to get to dinner or go to the bakery."
Thomas said he decided to leave the City Council in 2009 so he could instead serve the community in different ways, such as being a scout leader and lacrosse coach.
If elected, he said he would like to focus on economic development and building a vibrant economy. The development should be compatible with the community's vision while providing an opportunity to reinvest in the city's roads, parks and schools, he said.
"Part of that is also addressing the issues of crime and homelessness and improving community policing to help build and enhance public safety in Monroe," Thomas said.
Thomas said he worked in Olympia as a planning commissioner and saw how its port properties were redeveloped. "I see parallels with downtown Monroe," he said. "They're all properties that are ripe for redevelopment."

Astro Gaming, peddlers of high quality gaming audio solutions, is offering Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker for 50% off retail price with purchase of the $US149.95 Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker Edition A30 Headset.
Astro Gaming loves its Metal Gear Solid. Earlier this year the company released a Metal Gear Solid 4 special edition of its pricey A40 headset, and now they're back with a version of the A30 audio system, specially designed to go along with the latest entry in the series for the PSP.
The A30 audio system differences slightly from the more expensive A40, which McWhertor reviewed last year. Instead of an open, over-the-ear cuff design it features a closed-back, on-the-ear cuff, delivering a richer bass experience. At least that's what the marketing says. It also features a fixed microphone, as opposed to the A40's swappable (or removable) one.
The Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker Edition A30 will set you back a good $US149.95, and the MixAmp required to deliver 5.1 Dolby sound and make the headset compatible with Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 voice communication is $US129.95 extra.
Still, you save $US20 on Peace Walker, so it all works out in the end.
OK, maybe the price is a bit insane, but look how pretty it is! No?

Emmons is the chief beekeeper and director of business development for Brooklyn Grange, which runs a rooftop farm in Long Island City.
He grew up in an apartment in Greenwich Village, where he still lives three days out of the week, and went to Bronx Science High School. Emmons went on to Ithaca College for a year, and then left to become one of the original founders of the Princeton Review college preparation program.
"The great thing is I made my fortune, so to speak, on prepping kids to go to college and I never got a [Bachelor's degree] myself," Emmons said.
In 2002, his friend, who is one of the founders of Burton snowboards, invited him to Massachusetts to have a look at his beehives.
"My response was, 'what's wrong with you, stinging insects, are you nuts?'" Emmons said.
However, he soon fell in love with the ways of the bee colony, which he said reminded him of the computers he built as a technology-nerd when he was growing up.
"The whole operating of a colony was very much like a computer in a way," Emmons said. "You kind of build this hive for these creatures that will just do all this work for you, and happily so."
Emmons now has 10 hives on his farm in Sunderland, Massachusetts, where he spends four days of the week, four hives at the Brooklyn Grange rooftop farm, and one on the roof of BoBo's restaurant in Greenwich Village. New York City legalized beekeeping in May 2010, he said, and since then its popularity has skyrocketed.
In addition to providing delicious honey to eat, beekeeping allows people to transcend cultures that date as far back as the previous millennium, he said. It also provides a socializing opportunity, as keepers get together in groups and clubs to discuss their honey-harvesting tactics. For example, Emmons is now a member of the Backwards Beekeepers club in New York City.
"I've made like 30 different friends that I would've never had any chance to meet let alone be friends with," he said, "simply because of beekeeping in the city."
New York City honey sells at between $20 and $40 a pound, making it Brooklyn Grange's most profitable commodity. One hive can produce more than 50 pounds of honey in a season, Emmons said.
However, he said, "The biggest impact [of beekeeping] is it just helps people to open their eyes to the whole food system, how the system works and what they're putting in their mouths."
"I was that person who was completely shielded and separated, food just appeared in the supermarket and then appeared on my table," Emmons said.
Emmons is hosting a Honey Festival in Rockaway Beach on Saturday, September 17, from 10 a.m. to sundown. For more information on the festival, visit Nychoneyfest.com.

Now 23, she's teaching children as young as 7 to program computers and create their own websites and games, empowering them with digital literacy she says will become increasingly indispensable for anyone entering the workforce.
In 2012, La Flèche, a computer-science and creative-writing student at Concordia, and Kate Arthur, who runs an IT company, founded Kids Code Jeunesse, a bilingual and national non-profit organization whose goal is to get elementary-school students to learn to code in classrooms across the country. They've started with three Montreal schools.
"There's this huge gap that our kids are missing and we need to do something about it," Arthur said, referring to Canada falling behind to countries like Estonia and England that have already implemented computer-science programs in their elementary schools.
La Flèche said that while some public schools in Quebec offer computer-science courses in later grades — "maybe in Sec. 5 you'll be able to take an elective or half a year of computer science, and maybe it won't be terrible" — at that point it tends to be available to students who are excelling in math and science.
"For it to be really accessible, and for a lot of people to get introduced to it, it has to be in the elementary school system because that's the only thing we have that can level the playing field," La Flèche said.
So far, La Flèche, Arthur and Kids Code Jeunesse volunteers, computer-science students from Concordia and McGill, have taught 150 students to code. This fall, they went to École au Pied-de-la-Montagne in the Plateau Mont Royal — which Arthur approached directly — and this week they started a pilot project at two English Montreal School Board schools, the Merton School in Côte St-Luc and General Vanier in St-Léonard. There is no cost to the students — who range from Grades 3 to 6 — because the program should be accessible to everyone, Arthur said. Ideally, she added, the program would be free for schools, too, and KCJ is looking for governmental support to make that a possibility.
Without enough computers to go around, there will probably be three or four students to a machine at the English schools. It's a challenge to which La Flèche said they have no choice but to adapt to because that situation is reflective of many schools in the province.
La Flèche and Arthur started an IndieGogo campaign and hope to raise $5,000 on the crowdfunding site to pay for books and learning material they can distribute to students. They also want to pay for the public-transit tickets the volunteers need to get to the schools. La Flèche and Arthur have paid for these expenses themselves thus far. Arthur said the campaign, launched Nov. 20, has caught the attention of some IT and video-game companies and she hopes they'll want to invest in their own futures by helping the Kids Code Jeunesse cause.
Coding teaches more than just computer programming, La Flèche and Arthur said. In her workshops, La Flèche has noticed children becoming very collaborative and helping each other with their projects. When a simple comma throws off an entire project, attention to detail becomes paramount.
The organization doesn't want to replace existing courses with computer science, just complement them with coding.
"You're still covering the curriculum the school wants you to cover," La Flèche said, "but instead of using a poster board (for a presentation, for example), you're using a website."
Arthur's eye-opening moment came three years ago when her youngest daughter, 2 at the time, started playing around with her iPhone and laptop.
"She was consuming (technology) so quickly and not creating with it," Arthur said. "Kids want to do projects on the computer," but they're limited by software that "can't spit up what's happening in their head."
Arthur's 10-year-old daughter is able to program using HTML and even has her own website.

In what is probably a nightmare scenario for a lot of New York commuters, about 50 people were injured this morning when a ferry crashed into a dock in Lower Manhattan, according to news reports.
The New York Daily News reports that the rush hour ferry coming from New Jersey slammed into the South Street dock's moorings around 8:45 a.m. local time, sending people flying across the deck. At least one person was critically injured, according to news reports.
CNN reports that many passengers were being carried off the boat on stretchers by emergency crews. The Seastreak ferry carries about 400 passengers, they said.
More on this situation as it develops.

Woman says she is denied care because of previous doctor
A woman in need of pain medication said she is being denied treatment because her doctor lost his license after several of his patients overdosed on drugs.
Barbara O'Brien said she was scheduled for a visit to the clinic Wednesday to have a prescription she relies on replenished, but her physician, Dr. Gary Shearer, recently lost his license.
She said other doctors will not fulfill her prescription, either.
"It's, 'We are not taking any patients that are coming from Dr. Shearer's office,'" O'Brien said. "They made me feel like a criminal, like I've done something wrong. I've not done anything wrong, but I have a body that has a lot of problems with it."
O'Brien said she needs her medication for pain in her spine and neck.
"It's difficult for me to even stand straight and walk," she said.
Federal authorities raided Shearer's medical office in April. The Kentucky Medical Board said it suspended his license after finding that 14 patients died of an overdose after visiting his Florence pain clinic.
Several doctors said they can't help O'Brien without her medical records, which are among the many documents confiscated by investigators.
"I haven't any clue of who my next doctor is going to be," she said.
Shearer's attorney, Bob Sanders, said his office just received discs with many of the medical records. He said they were working overtime to divide them up and get them to the thousands of patients.
Sanders said O'Brien should get her records by Friday. She will still need to find a new doctor who will treat her.

REAL ESTATE- ON THE BLOCK- Wayland's Grant: At home in the faux '50s
ADDRESS: 1815 Clay Drive
NEIGHBORHOOD: Wayland's Grant
SIZE: 3,500 fin. sq. ft.
LAND: 0.20 acres
CURB APPEAL: 7 out of 10
LISTED BY: Jonathan Kauffmann of Real Estate 111
But all is not as it seems.
Along Jarman's Gap Road just outside town, the last two years have brought unprecedented change. Houses sprout like the weeds they've replaced, and the hills are glimpsed through the multi-gabled roofs of countless new developments.
But as shocking as this may be to old-timers and nostalgia buffs, driving into Wayland's Grant has a pleasant perfumey about it. Weed-free (and one might think feet-free) lawns decorate this simulacrum of a '50s-era neighborhood. Even the white picket fence that borders this house on its large corner lot projects an image of security and simplicity that may or may not be accurate. And like the opening sequence of Desperate Housewives with its flagrant use of the same symbol of suburban values, all is not as it seems.
Not to imply there's murder and mayhem going on behind closed doors. But houses today bear little similarity to anything from the days of Mamie Eisenhower's bangs and white gloves. While all the same charm is there on the outside, creature comforts unimaginable to even the wealthiest Cold Warriors abound on the inside.
As one enters this house, nothing really stands out. But the mind boggles at the array of upgrades and specifications, so many that it seems the builder should have chosen a bigger house in which to work out his fantasies.
A very short version reads like this: exotic Malaysian merbau flooring, 18-inch custom tile backsplash, custom window box, colonial three-piece 12-inch crown molding in almost every room, shadowbox-style wainscoting, upgraded plumbing with all Delta faucets, body spray in master shower, three-hole faucets with c-spouts and an elongated bowl in the water closet. And this is just a drop in the... bucket.
People coming home to these houses may want the '50s feel, but they don't want the '50s work. Where a basic 60-amp box used to power nothing much more than an oscillating fan and an ice box, now there's a two-zone high efficiency heat pump with electric backup, a central humidifier on first floor, central air cleaners for the whole house, and a gas fireplace with a thermostatically controlled fan.
One needs a physics degree just to get to the kitchen. Come home, turn on the fire, flip on CNN and presto, instant comfort. And comfort counts.
The front room is the only oddity in the whole house. Called the "living room," it serves no purpose other than entrance way. Builders can't seem to design a decent living room– instead, they've opted to ignore its potential in favor of a "family room."
The rest of the house continues with conventional space. Upstairs, three regular-size bedrooms (and bedrooms should be on the second floor) share a bath. The master suite is also up here, but due to its proximity to other (read: children's) rooms, it has soundproof walls, with pipes also insulated to reduce sound transmission and solid-core doors for added privacy. If after all that the noise still becomes too much, there's a 20' x 32' bonus room on the third floor.
Out back– a mere hop, skip, and jump from the kitchen– is the two-car garage. A mini-version of the house, its Wayne Dalton garage door with programmable I-Drive operator is vehiculalry accessed from an alley behind the house. Another bonus room on the second floor of this building has cable, electricity, heating/cooling, and is wired for surround-sound.
Inspired by the New Urbanist movement, Wayland's Grant looks and feels very cozy. But some of the underlying tenets of New Urbanism have failed to materialize. Intended to provide a diverse range of housing options as well as reduce commute time, Wayland's Grant (and every other new development in Crozet) fails. The neighborhood may be walkable, but not to nearby Crozet to pick up the dry cleaning or buy a quart of milk.
Maybe New Urbanism should take a hint from Old Urbanism. It works best where you need it: in downtown Crozet.

Yandle scores with 1:45 left to give Coyotes 3-2 win over Predators
NASHVILLE, Tenn. - The road-tested Phoenix Coyotes took advantage of the home-challenged Nashville Predators.
Keith Yandle scored with 1:45 remaining and the Coyotes beat the Nashville Predators 3-2 on Tuesday night.
Phoenix has won two in a row. Nashville has dropped six of eight. Ray Whitney and Taylor Pyatt also scored for Phoenix. Jack Hillen and Shea Weber had the Predators' goals.
With the teams skating 4-on-4, Shane Doan fired a pass from the right circle to Yandle skating through the slot. Yandle corralled the puck and put it past goalie Pekka Rinne for his fourth of the season.
"Four-on-four, whenever I am out there with Doaner, we always seem to find each other," Yandle said. "He's a guy who is always looking for other players, and 4-on-4 with so much ice I just tried to find a lane for him to get it to me. He made a great play."
Nashville had tied it 2-2 at 12:53 of the third on Weber's goal, but the Predators fell to 0-3-1 in their last four home games.
"We've had such a good home record here in the past," Weber said. "Right now, teams look at our record and see we're not playing very well at home and maybe they're licking their chops to come in."
Phoenix improved to 9-4-1 on the road.
With the Predators on a 5-on-3 power play, Ryan Suter slid the puck to Weber just inside the left point. Weber's one-timer was deflected by Boyd Gordon, who had moved out to try to block the Nashville captain's shot. The puck changed direction and beat goalie Jason LaBarbera over the right shoulder.
Whitney had given the Coyotes the lead 1:40 into the third.
From below the Nashville goal line, and surrounded by two Predators, Radim Vrbata found Whitney alone in the low slot, from where he fired a one-timer past Rinne.
Whitney's goal came four seconds after LaBarbera made impressive back-to-back saves on Nashville chances to keep the game tied at 1-1.
"It was a scramble play, it was a tough save off of the pad that squirted into the slot," LaBarbera said. "I had to pull out my inner Tim Thomas and dive across the net, then we went right down and scored. It is nice when you can get the guys fired up that way, and we go down and score. It makes you feel pretty good."
Pyatt gave Phoenix a 1-0 lead just nine seconds after the opening faceoff when he got the rebound of Lauri Korpikoski's long shot from the right side and the puck past Rinne.
"We talked about having a good start, and eight seconds in, we get a tough bounce," Nashville coach Barry Trotz said. "That's their calling card when they score the first goal."
Hillen tied it with just 10.8 seconds left in the first period, but the Predators couldn't carry that momentum into a win.
"We play kind of a road game all the time," Phoenix coach Dave Tippett said. "On the road we are finding ways to get points, and that's what it's all about."
The Coyotes will complete a road swing of three games in four nights when the play at Detroit on Thursday.
NOTES: Predators RW Jordin Tootoo served the first game of a two-game NHL suspension handed down Tuesday for charging Buffalo G Ryan Miller on Saturday. ... Nashville LW Sergei Kostitsyn returned after missing two games because of an undisclosed upper body injury. ... Hillen played in his 200th NHL game. ... Yandle played in his 200th consecutive game, the longest current streak for the Coyotes. ... Phoenix won both of its games in Nashville this season. The teams will complete the season series on March 12 in Arizona.
