The Central Connecticut baseball team improved to 25-24 on the season with a victory over Hartford on Wednesday afternoon. The win is the 500th in the collegiate career of head coach Charlie Hickey. The Blue Devils topped the Hawks (16-34) by a score of 9-4 behind seven strong innings from sophomore Jesse Frawley.
Hickey is now 500-384-4 in 17 combined seasons with CCSU and Providence College. He is CCSU's all-time winningest baseball coach with 394 career victories with the Blue Devils.
Frawley pitched seven innings to earn his second win of the season. He scattered eight hits and allowed just one run. He struck out two and did not walk a batter.
The Hawks were able to score three runs off junior Nick Boyd in the eighth, but sophomore Dominic Severino came in and worked out of further trouble. Severino did not allow a hit while pitching the final 1.2 innings of the game.
The Blue Devils scored a single run in the second, two in the third and three in the fourth. CCSU added single runs in the fifth, sixth and eighth innings.
Junior Dylan DelaCruz connected for his fifth home run in the last five games and finished the day two-for-five at the plate.
Senior Nick Palmisano was three-for-four at the plate and drove in three of Central's nine runs.
Senior Chris Renzoni, junior J.P. Sportman, junior Anthony Turgeon and Severino all had two hits in the game. Renzoni drove in a pair of runs, while Sportman and McIntyre each had one RBI.
The Blue Devils host Mount St. Mary's at the CCSU Baseball Field this weekend in an important NEC series.
Central is still alive for the fourth and final playoff spot in next week's NEC Tournament. The Blue Devils need a sweep of the Mount, along with some other help in the league, in order to qualify for the four-team tournament.

06 May 2013 | Analysis | By BioSpectrum Bureau
Singapore: The number of Australians with age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is expected to grow to over 1.7 million by 2030, yet many patients do not currently receive timely care.
The treatment window for wet AMD is relatively short, so any delay in treatment can mean the difference between retaining vision and developing blindness.
New therapies and diagnostic techniques have produced a paradigm shift in the diagnosis and treatment of wet AMD, specifically antiangiogenesis therapy and spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT).
These techniques, along with early diagnosis, can prevent, slow, and, in some cases, even reverse vision loss. However, affordability has been a barrier for Australian patients, rendering a need for greater access to treatment.
"Wet AMD is a silent epidemic of the aging global population," commented Dr William Li, president, Angiogenesis Foundation. "Helping the elderly preserve their vision through effective use of antiangiogenic treatments is an important way to ensure a high quality of life."

While some environmentalists continue to point fingers at farmers as the sole reason for why water "isn't what it used to be", I have never seen farmers treating water more seriously and with more respect than they do today.
As 2012 draws to a close there is no such thing as the "good old days" when it comes to water use in town or country. As the president of Federated Farmers, this got me thinking about the two things I would dearly want for Christmas and the New Year.
One is an end to the "farmer v environmentalist" stoush and the second is a trade liberalising Trans Pacific Partnership. One gets us focused on solutions instead of bickering while the other takes those solutions and increases our collective wealth.
In New Zealand, we have a tendency to lump good and bad farmers in the same bucket. Few stop to find out that many farmers are passionate about the environment. A farm is your home and your workplace. If there is a small minority of poor performers and there are, why not focus on the vast majority doing a good job and tell their story? Perhaps the reason why we struggle to make this leap is down to the hard reality that wherever humans go, water quality tends to suffer.
We saw this in the Ministry for the Environment's 2012 bathing quality results. Sure farming has an effect upon water quality but that does not explain the very poor sites found at camp grounds and around small rural settlements. Or for that matter, poor quality water found in many of our urban centres. The Manawatu River has either had the biggest comeback since Lazarus to be cleaner than Wellington's Hutt River, or there is a human dimension to water quality as well.
While history will be the ultimate judge, I firmly believe Federated Farmers' efforts on the Land and Water Forum (LAWF) may be the end of the beginning for this finger pointing. Federated Farmers happily hosted many LAWF meetings in Wellington and what emerged in its final report was agreement. Agriculture, councils and even those organisations we occasionally rub up against found common ground.
I am not pretending this was easy or that LAWF's recommendations will be any less so, but the goalposts have subtly moved. Instead of acrimony we got agreement. Instead of conflict we got collaboration. The big change is that we were central because our members do give a damn about water and they wanted positive action.
While agriculture has been on the policy back foot ever since someone put two words together to coin an unhelpful slogan, LAWF changes everything. Decisions about how we farm with water are better made by affected communities than some distant judge. The focus on LAWF was not to blame farmers but to look closely at all human effects on water. There will be those who will continue to throw stones or use primary school taunts, but they are increasingly the fringe.
Farming must remain profitable and be allowed to grow so long as our environmental impacts don't. With LAWF moving beyond the "blame farming hypothesis" there is a big shift towards that thinking. My sincere hope is that the media will start to follow in 2013.
Another thing we eagerly look forward to next year will be the signing of the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP).
This year, Canada and Mexico joined the TPP so we are talking about a deal covering them, Australia, Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei, Vietnam, Chile, Peru, the United States and of course, us. These economies generate a staggering US$21 trillion each year and Europe would need another Germany to match it.
Trade generates jobs and wealth, so the TPP was established to eliminate all tariffs and bring discipline to what are called "non-tariff trade barriers".
We, along with our colleagues from Canada and Australia, were clear that negotiators need to stick like glue to these objectives.
TPP negotiators without exception must eliminate tariffs on all products. It really is as simple as that. There must also be liberal rules of origin within the TPP region while regulations must abide by international science based standards. This ensures enforceable and consistent customs procedures that facilitate trade.
Establishing a high standard at the beginning ensures there is no room for it to be watered down later. As the president of the National Farmers' Federation of Australia, Jock Laurie, noted, "We need to bring these negotiations to a timely close [in 2013] ... Negotiators need to demonstrate real progress on difficult issues and express their commitment to this timeframe."
If we can pull that one off it will be one of the two biggest New Year gifts, ever. The other being a respectful and informed national discussion around water. Now wouldn't these be great gifts to receive.
Bruce Wills is the president of Federated Farmers.

Last night, President Barack Obama and U.S. congressional leaders failed to reach agreement on a deal to raise the nation's debt limit. Meanwhile, it has been more than 800 days since the U.S. Senate passed a budget, liberals in Washington are pushing for higher taxes, unemployment is soaring, the deficit keeps growing, and America is careening toward an economic future as the Europe of the West.
That's a future of crippling debt, spending, and permanently high unemployment that some in Congress are trying to avoid. On Saturday, Speaker of the House John Boehner (R–OH) pulled the plug on a debt ceiling increase that would have raised taxes in exchange for reductions in spending. It was the right move. Tax increases are the last thing America needs as it struggles with 9.2 percent unemployment and stagnant job growth.
But America's dismal economic reality–and the policy of taxing and spending–are facts of life the Obama Administration would like America to accept, along with their explanation of why growth has been so slow to date.
On yesterday's Meet the Press, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner insisted that tax increases are necessary (though he used the code words "raising revenues") and trotted out a long list of reasons why recovery has been so slow, including high gas prices, terrible weather, local governments making cutbacks, and the Japanese earthquake. What's more, Geithner said that the President is "being too hard on himself" over America's frustration with the economy and said that "we don't have the ability, because of the overhang in housing and the problems in the financial system, to do—to engineer artificially . . . a stronger recovery."
In other words, "It's not our fault, don't blame us, and get used to it." The Heritage Foundation's Mike Franc says that the White House's defeatist tone likely will likely fall on deaf ears as Americans demand a future of growth, not decline:
It's a message of resignation. Yes, it says, we're doomed for economic decline no matter what, but trust us to manage it more gracefully than anyone else.
But Americans will likely stand athwart such defeatism and say "Stop!" There is no need, they will say, to tolerate European levels of unemployment. It's an increasingly easy sell: Jettison the President's European-style economic policies, and you jettison European-style unemployment.
The reality is that Americans need not resign themselves to the future that the White House would have them embrace. Flawed policies are holding back the U.S. economy, and there is room to grow if the government gets out of the way. As Heritage's Bill Beach explains that, "Based on our talents, resources, and capital structure, the economy should be growing now at 4—5 percent. That growth rate would produce over 250,000 jobs per month…enough to reduce the unemployment rate." But because of big government policies, we're not realizing those gains.
Washington can start on the path toward liberating that entrepreneurial capacity by making the right decisions on the debt limit. Higher taxes aren't the right direction; cutting spending is.
Heritage's James Sherk and Rea Hederman write that "Creating a hostile or favorable business climate is a policy choice . . . The tax and regulatory burden is a policy choice made by the government. If America creates a French-style social welfare state that erects barriers to entrepreneurship, then America will also get French levels of unemployment."
America doesn't have to be France. It doesn't have to carry a European-style debt and tax burden. But the White House and congressional leaders must choose to enact policies that reject a European-style future.
Quick Hits:
- The United States will withhold more than one-third of the $2 billion in annual aid to Pakistan's military following the country's reduced level of cooperation with the U.S. in recent months.
- The unemployment rate for veterans who served at any time since September 2001 was 13.3 percent in June, up from 12.1 percent in May.
- Former First Lady Betty Ford will be laid to rest beside her husband, former President Gerald Ford, on the grounds of the Gerald R. Ford Museum in Grand Rapids, Mich., on Thursday.
- European Union President Herman Van Rompuy and top EU policy makers will meet today to discuss a second bailout for Greece. Concerns are growing over private-sector involvement in the deal.

Climate Survey
Survey-based evaluation of essential components for school success
The 5Essentials reports are available only for schools, not for districts. The graphic that displays 5Essentials results is blank for districts. View individual schools to obtain the information about essential components for school success.
The 5Essentials Survey results offer a comprehensive assessment of a school's organizational culture, generating data that allows schools to develop improvement plans and target resources to areas known to be related to increases in student learning.. The survey also demonstrates that teachers and students can play a crucial role in school reform.What they share about their schools has been demonstrated to reliably predict whether those schools are likely to improve or stagnate.
The University of Chicago developed and administered a version of the survey in the Chicago Public Schools (CPS) for the past 25 years, helping the city's diverse schools develop pathways to improved student performance. The research has found that schools that are well organized, safe, and supportive are much more likely to be successful.
In addition to CPS, school districts in Connecticut, Indiana, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri and New York have used the survey results to help frame and direct school improvement plans. While districts in these states have administered the survey, Illinois is the first state to administer the survey across all schools in its 865 districts. The School Report Card shows the scores from this norm-referenced survey, meaning school's survey results will be compared to a specific normative – or similar – group. That means that each school is scored against the statewide average for their particular school type, i.e. elementary schools to elementary schools, middle schools to middle schools and high schools to high schools.

A raspberry for Berlusconi
Issued on: Modified:
In today's international papers, the spotlight is on Rupert Murdoch and his son James who have agreed to testify to a UK parliamentary hearing on a major phone-hacking scandal. That, as the FBI in the United States opens a probe to see if the now-defunct "News of the World" tabloid hacked into phones of 9/11 victims.
The Wall Street Journal Europe leads on an interview with its owner Rupert Murdoch who has told the paper he believes: "News Corp will recover". Murdoch says News Corp. has "handled the crisis extremely well" making just "minor mistakes". Asked if he was aggravated by the bad press he was getting, the 80-year-old says that he's "just getting annoyed, I'll get over it".
One source of help for him could come from another paper he owns, his top-selling tabloid The Sun which is also giving his point of view. That includes an article by Ulrika Jonsson, who became a News of the World columnist in the aftermath an affair with of one-time England football manager Sven Goran Erikkson. She tells The Sun that "Other papers did it", referring to phone hacking. Adding that The News of the World "did an awful lot of good".
On the flip side, The Daily Mirror – not owned by Murdoch – is reporting that Rupert Murdoch and his son James were forced to cave in to appear at the parliamentary hearing and were warned they could be "banged up in a House of Commons cell". And concerning the FBI investigation in the US into the possible hacking of 9/11 victims, there is a quote from Congressman Pete King saying: "The 9/11 families have suffered egregiously, but remain vulnerable against such unjustifiable parasitic strains".
The US debt crisis is also a lead story. The USA Today's International edition headlines: "Time, tempers short on debt talk". US President Barack Obama is reported to have become agitated in negotiations saying "enough is enough" with "positioning and posturing" by lawmakers. The paper quotes a Republican saying that talks with the White House are like dealing with Jell-O. And a Democrat says those in favour of a right-wing agenda on this are "playing Russian roulette" with the US economy. The USA Today's letters' page, meanwhile, suggests that a compromise should not be seen as weakness. James Musso from Lake Zurich in Illinois asks: "when did compromise become a dirty word?" He says: "Efforts to impose one view without compromise is something we ought to be seeing in such places as North Korea and Iran, not the United States".
The prospects of a compromise seem for the moment far off. A cartoon in The International Herald Tribune shows Obama showing his budget proposals and being given a flat "No Way", and then saying "OK I'll give you whatever you want" only to be told "Out of the question".
To Italy, where a vote on an austerity package worth tens of billions of euros got Senate approval Thursday. It goes to the lower house today. Il Giornale, the paper owned by Silvio Berlusconi's brother, leads on comments made by Finance Minster Giulio Tremonti: "If we don't move forward together we will end up sinking to the ocean floor like the Titanic". Meanwhile, the centre-left La Repubblica, in an editorial, says that Northern League leader Umberto Bossi – a kingmaker in Italian politics – is not excluding a new government. Bossi's comments, the paper argues, amount to a raspberry for Berlusconi.

Fordie would have grinned and shaken his head over the derby fish flap.
He was a good guy who grew up in a tough place. He worked hard jobs and learned early that life isn't always fair.
So when the cancer doctors told him to put his affairs in order late in 1994, he knew how to handle adversity.
His full name was Walter Ford. He died in 1995 a month after the derby and this is probably the only time he'll be memorialized in print.
Fordie loved the Island and the derby, especially the fellowship and "floggin' the water," as he put it. Fordie did not care about daily and weekly awards, cash prizes, equipment, boats and trucks. I doubt he ever weighed in a fish in 20 years. He was all about doing the derby. So when the docs told him the jig was up, he put his affairs in order. It was what it was and he never whined about it. But one of his affairs was one more derby and he hung in there to get it.
Many people do not understand the wonder of the derby, which is this: 61 years ago a bunch of Island people created a culture of fellowship and service to others with the derby as the vehicle to provide Island kids with education and experiences, and to use every bit of every fish caught to provide food to Island people. I think none of us who fished the derby with Fordie understood that then. But in 1995, a half dozen good guys who grew up in a tough place, worked hard jobs and knew that life isn't always fair committed themselves to helping Fordie have a great derby.
I will always be grateful for one night, the last night before we left, the derby over, when Fordie said: "Think I'll go flog the water." He was pretty shaky then, so I went with him and saw a miracle. He fished the Gut until dawn, resting now and then, but keeping at it. There were no fish. That wasn't the point. He was having his derby.
This has been a tough week for derby people, for the young guy who had the bad luck to catch a really big fish that had been yo-yoed by an anonymous commercial fisherman and for his pals who believed they had to choose either Lev or the derby. I feel badly for the derby committee who caught themselves a lose-lose situation. They are 20 good men and women who are in a tough place right now. They work hard and know that life isn't always fair.
Frankly, I've been angry and sad this week to see the Mardi Gras atmosphere at the weigh station deflated, to see the worry and conflict on the faces of derby fishers and volunteers.
I want the derby to be like it was for Fordie.

Semi-Sneaky Vegetables (aka Frozen Veggie Cubes)
May 28, 2014 | Posted by Sally Jackson
B-Team Videos, Fitness & Health, Recipes, Cooking Techniques
Interested in a quick and delicious way to pump up the nutritional value of your family's meals? These frozen veggie cubes will do the trick!
I'm lucky in that my two and a half year old son is a pretty good eater who will happily take down a plate of broccoli, but even so, I'm always trying to figure out ways to fill out his diet with all of the fiber and vitamins that fresh vegetables provide. That said, while I always drop a handful of spinach in his smoothies, I don't want to sneak those vegetables in – I want him to be used to seeing and tasting a wide range of colors and flavors.
So instead of hiding vegetable purees in his food, I make these frozen cubes of shredded and cooked vegetables which I can then defrost and add to his meals as needed. It's a simple thing to do (see the recipe here), and the weeknight payoff is huge. And at this point, my little boy expects to see bright orange flecks of carrots and bright green spinach in his meatballs – veggies don't have to be scary! (There is something to be said for having the pieces too small to be pulled out by picky little fingers...the shredding is for more than speed of cooking!)
I plop a cube in everything from jarred pasta sauce to my meatball mix – I really like the extra moisture they add – and use them as a quesadilla filling or even toss in a skillet with leftover brown rice and cooked edamame for an incredibly fast veggie fried rice. I'm not going to say that a frozen cube of shredded veggies is as quick as a dinner as my son's favorite chicken nuggets, but those cubes do get me a lot closer to an easy meal that I feel good about.

Small Plane Crashes at Greene County Airport, No Injuries
Authorities say no one was injured when a small plane crashed at a southwest Ohio airport.
The State Highway Patrol says the single-engine 2002 Piper Malibu Mirage crashed about 10 a.m. Wednesday upon landing at the Greene County Airport near Xenia in southwest Ohio.
Patrol Sgt. Paul Lezotte says the pilot and his lone passenger had flown from Alabama to attend a business meeting in the Dayton area.
Lezotte says the pilot told authorities that the front landing gear collapsed when the plane landed. Lezotte says the plane skidded off the runway and crashed nose-down in a grassy area.

On April 10, 2012 at 7:30pm, our friends at The Booksmith will host reissue producer/music scholar Pat Thomas for a signing of his new book LISTEN, WHITEY! Sights and Sounds of Black Power 1965 – 1975 and the companion album (out now on Light in the Attic Records), which is being called the definitive Black Power aural document!
Over a five year period, Pat Thomas befriended key leaders of the seminal Black Power Movement, dug through Huey Newton's archives at Stanford University, spent countless hours and thousands of dollars on eBay, and talked to rank and file Black Panther Party members, uncovering dozens of obscure albums, singles, and stray tapes. Along the way, he began to piece together a time period (1967-1974) when revolutionaries like Bobby Seale, Eldridge Cleaver, Angela Davis, and Stokely Carmichael were seen as pop culture icons and musicians like Gil Scott-Heron, The Last Poets, Bob Dylan, and John Lennon were seen as revolutionaries.
LISTEN, WHITEY! chronicles the forgotten history of Motown Records; from 1970 to 1973, Motown's Black Power subsidiary label, Black Forum, released politically charged albums by Stokely Carmichael, Amiri Baraka, Langston Hughes, Bill Cosby and Ossie Davis, and many others, and explores the musical connections between Bob Dylan, John Lennon, Graham Nash, the Partridge Family (!?!) and the Black Power movement. Obscure recordings produced by SNCC, Ron Karenga's US, the Tribe and other African-American sociopolitical organizations of the late 1960s and early '70s are examined along with the Isley Brothers, Nina Simone, Archie Shepp, Art Ensemble of Chicago, Clifford Thornton, Watts Prophets, The Last Poets, Gene McDaniels, Roland Kirk, Horace Silver, Angela Davis, H. Rap Brown, Stanley Crouch, and others that spoke out against oppression. Thomas further focuses on Black Consciousness poetry (from the likes of Jayne Cortez, wife of Ornette Coleman), inspired religious recordings that infused god and Black Nationalism, and obscure regional and privately pressed Black Power 7-inch soul singles from across America. The text is accompanied by over 200 large sized, full-color reproductions of album covers and 45 rpm singles, most of which readers will have never seen before.
The companion soundtrack is a cross-cultural overview that sees Bob Dylan's out of print 1971 single "George Jackson" reissued for the first time along with several selections from Motown's long forgotten Black Forum label.

Definition from Nolo's Plain-English Law Dictionary
A means of escaping an overly burdensome mortgage. If a homeowner can't make the mortgage payments and can't find a buyer for the house, many lenders will accept ownership of the property in place of the money owed on the mortgage. Even if the lender won't agree to accept the property, the homeowner can prepare a quitclaim deed that unilaterally transfers the homeowner's property rights to the lender.

Creamy Rice Pudding
- Yield: 6-8 1x
Sometimes only rich and creamy desserts will do. That's when I pull out my pot and put up a pot of rice pudding. If you can find the Living Harvest® brand of Hemp milk, it's simply delicious in this pudding! If you can't find it in your local health food store, you can substitute another non-dairy Julie's Creamy Rice Pudding.

- 1 cup medium grain Cal Rose Rice
- 1–1/2 to 2 cups plain or vanilla hemp milk (preferably Living Harvest brand) or soy or hazelnut milk
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla paste or vanilla extract
- Freshly ground nutmeg or cinnamon
- n a saucepan over medium heat, combine water and rice and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat and let sit, covered, for 5 minutes.
- Add milk and sugar to cooked rice, stirring well. Return saucepan to stove. Cook over medium heat, stirring continuously, for 15 to 20 minutes or until very thick and creamy. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla paste. Let rice pudding cool slightly before serving. Sprinkle with ground cinnamon before serving.

Building a Personal Finance Library: 25 of the Best Books About Money
I frequently get e-mail from people seeking book recommendations. Most messages are like the one Cody sent yesterday: "What is the first book that I should read that tells me how to invest?" These are easy to answer. In January, Bobby asked a broader question:
I was wondering if you have a list of PF books that you have in your personal library. I use the library frequently and am very interested in furthering my own education in the PF area. It is also a personal goal for 2007 (one educational book a month.)
This is a great goal and a great question. Eventually I'll have a subsection of this site devoted to personal finance books. But for today, I'll list the books I refer to frequently. (These aren't all the books I own — I own many that aren't worth having.) I've marked the books I consider essential with a happy star *.
Please note that these recommendations are based on how well a particular book has worked for me. Your mileage may vary.
Basic Personal Finance
These books offer a wide view, discussing many aspects of money. They offer advice about saving, investing, and getting out of debt. They don't go into much detail about any one subject, but they provide motivation to get started. And that's what's most important.
The Millionaire Next Door by Stanley and Danko
The authors interview and survey a pool of millionaires, attempting to find common connections among them. They discover that millionaires live below their means. They budget. They let their adult children make it on their own. This book introduces several key concepts, including degrees of wealth accumulation. It's a bit tedious in spots, at least in the audio version. This is one of just a few books to cover both sides of the wealth equation: saving money and earning money. [My review.]
*Your Money or Your Life by Dominguez and Robin
A classic, and one of the foundation books for the simplicity movement. The authors play off the concept "time is money" in a very literal sense. They encourage readers to sort out priorities, to cut expenses, and then to seek passive income in pursuit of financial independence. A little New Age-y in spots. An excellent book. [Frykitty reviewed this book last year.]
*The Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey
Ramsey is an anti-credit zealot. He made a $4 million fortune by his mid-twenties, and then lost it to bankruptcy. Now he runs a personal finance empire. He takes a lot of criticism for his support of the Debt Snowball, which he describes in detail here, but the thing is: his methods work. If you are struggling with debt, there is no better starting place than this book. Ramsey's advice is permeated with his Christianity, but you can get a lot out of this book even if you're not religious.
The Wealthy Barber by David Chilton
This book offers good, general personal finance advice in the guise of a novel. Several friends meet once a month at the barber shop where the titular character dispenses wisdom on saving, investing, buying a house, and so on. The advice here is excellent, often backed by clear examples. The book's conversational tone may appeal to some who might otherwise be turned off by personal finance. [My review.]
The Richest Man in Babylon by George Clason
Clason offers personal finance wisdom in the form of parables. These nuggets of wisdom were originally distributed as pamphlets at banks and insurance companies during the 1920s. The most popular were collected into book form. This is the grand-daddy of personal finance (Benjamin Franklin is the great-granddaddy), and many of modern admonitions — "Pay yourself first", "Invest for the future", "Learn the power of compound interest" — can be found here.
Saving money is a key skill to develop if you hope to get rich. (Read The Millionaire Next Door if you don't believe me.) Here are four books that can help you learn to cut corners, to save money in ways that may not have occurred to you.
How to Live Well Without Owning a Car by Chris Balish
Balish begins by explaining why you're better off not owning a car — financially, ecologically, and socially. He spends the rest of the book describing how to survive without one. He offers tips for mass transit, walking, bicycling, and more. This book has a narrow focus. But if you're in its target audience, it's worth a read.
Miserly Moms by Jonni McCoy
Don't judge a book by its cover. Sometimes it's the most unassuming of books that offers the best advice, that can actively help you on your quest to get rich slowly. Miserly Moms is ostensibly a guide for stay-at-home mothers, but is actually filled with useful tips for anyone who is concerned with frugality (especially parents with young children). [My review.]
*The Joy of Simple Living by Jeff Davidson
This book is packed with tips. Davidson covers a wide range of topics, and for each he offers several ways to save money. If this book were a weblog, it would feature digg-able entry after digg-able entry. A great resource for anyone wanting to cut down the clutter of life.
Wealth on Minimal Wage by James Steamer
If you're a young adult just starting in life, this book is a fine choice. It offers hundreds of ideas on how to avoid debt, maximize your wages, save on insurance and utilities, and generally live a frugal lifestyle. A bit out of date, and maybe a little radical, but filled with good advice. (I've had a copy out from the public library for six months. It's been battered and worn by previous patrons — a sure sign of a good book.)
Another highly-regarded book on frugality is The Complete Tightwad Gazette by Amy Dacyczyn. I've never read it, but it's near the top of my list of books to borrow from the library.
This set of books deals specifically with investing. The four books I keep at hand are user-friendly. They're not technical, but offer a good introduction to the topic.
The Automatic Millioinaire by David Bach
There's more to David Bach than "the latté factor". The system he recommends here is excellent. If you've been meaning to open an IRA, but have never actually done so, then read this book! He'll explain how to set it up so that it's painless. (Ad: Buy Stocks for $4 at ShareBuilder.)
*The Only Investment Guide You'll Ever Need by Andrew Tobias
Andrew Tobias is an entertaining writer. His jocular, conversational tone will keep you interested as he describes mutual funds, bonds, and treasury bills. There's a good section on how to handle a windfall (lottery, inheritance). This is an excellent introduction to the subject of investing.
*The Bogleheads' Guide to Investing by Larimore, Lindauer, and LeBoeuf
You want expet investment advice? You can't beat the info found here. These devotees of Vanugard founder John Bogle are big on slow, sure investments like indexed mutual funds. They tap their decades of experience to teach about diversification, inflation, and asset allocation. It's not nearly as boring as it sounds. Highly recommended.
Yes, You Can…Achieve Financial Independence by James Stowers
Despite the odd title, this is a solid book on investment from one of the richest men in America. It does cover some basic personal finance information, but mostly gives tips on how to invest. I haven't read the entire book, but I often use it as reference when preparing entries here. It's a sort of bridge between overviews like Tobias and more technical books like Graham or Malkiel.
Two other classics on investing are The Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham and A Random Walk Down Wall Street by Burton Malkiel. I have both, but have read neither. They're both quite technical.
Wealth is about more than money. These books will help you become a well-rounded person, will help you develop skills that will indirectly aid your personal finances.
*50 Success Classics by Tom Butler-Bowdon
Butler-Bowdon selected fifty important books from success literature. For each, he created digest versions, summarizing each volume in only a few pages, distilling its key points. He also provided biographical information on each author, and attempted to explain why each book is relevant, placing it in a larger context. This is a wonderful way to find other books to read. [My review.]
Secrets of the Millionaire Mind by T. Harv Eker
There's a little personal finance advice here (all of it solid), but mostly this book is about changing the way you think about money and about yourself. I found Secrets inspirational. It's a good choice for somebody with big goals, or somebody trying to overcome negative thinking. [My review.]
*How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie
One of the classic success books. Carnegie uses anecdote after anecdote to illustrate the best way to make the most of human relations. It all boils down to this: "To win others to your way of thinking, put yourself in their shoes." The devil is in the details, though, and Carnegie's simple prose does a fine job of pointing the way. You can find this book cheap at almost any used book store. [My review.]
Getting Things Done by David Allen
Little needs to be said about this book — it's a geek classic. Allen describes his formalized system for creating greater efficiency. Though I've found it difficult to maintain the precise system for long, I use elements of it all the time. If you have trouble procrastinating or staying organized, this book is for you. [My review.]
Never Eat Alone by Keith Ferrazzi
I've been meaning to review this book for weeks. I have a love/hate relationship with it. Parts of it are fantastic — you can learn how to relate to people, how to establish contacts and maintain connections, how to create a social network. But parts of it are creepy — networking for the sake of networking puts me off. The endless name-dropping gets old fast. Worth reading if you have contact with a wide group of people.
One book that's not in my library is What Color is Your Parachute? This is a classic on changing careers. I'm locked into Get Rich Slowly and the family box factory, but if I were job hunting, I would pick up a copy of this book without hesitation.
Kids and Money
Many parents are unprepared to teach their children about money. You needn't be one of them. These books suggest methods for getting kids to understand how money works.
What Color is Your Piggy Bank? by Adelia Cellini Linecker
This slim volume is a great choice for kids from 10-14 who are beginning to show an interest in entrepreneurship. Linecker covers the world of jobs, setting up shop, and how to manage money. I hope to provide a complete review of the book in the next few weeks.
You Call the Shots by Cameron Johnson
This is a new book from a young entrepreneur. It's in my "to-read" stack. I ordered it based on high praise from Flexo at Consumerism Commentary, who wrote: "This book should be required reading for any young adult showing an interest in entrepreneurship."
Living Simply with Children by Marie Sherlock
Sherlock offers tips for how to raise children that aren't part of the consumerist culture. She encourages strong family ties as a counter to the relentless purchase to acquire "stuff". There's some great advice here.
Final Thoughts
Though I've linked to the Amazon pages for each of these books, I encourage you to get them free from your public library. I acquired most of the books in my personal finance library for cheap from garage sales and thrift stores.

Who is she?
Agafya is a rather contradictory character because she is influenced by two antagonistic numbers - the 1 and the 2, which can respectively be translated as an independent and authoritarian tendency, and a more dependent, conciliatory and passive side... Such contradictions confer her with a cyclothymic personality and make her appear quite enigmatic. However, these energies could co-exist harmoniously, and in this case she could be described as an « iron fist in a velvet glove ». While she is generally attentive to others and a good listener, she can also be considerably egotistical, oscillating between self-centredness and selflessness. She is an extremely sensitive soul, although this isn´t always evident. Instead, she tends to suppress her emotions to the point where she could be accused of being aloof, cold or indifferent - especially since she doesn´t like to show any sign of weakness. But make no mistake; her confident, proud and dignified attitude is nothing more than a facade to disguise her deeply emotional nature... As a child, she alternates between the need for freedom and autonomy (accentuated if she was born on a 1st, 10th, 19th, 28th, or if she has a life Path Number of 1) and an extreme dependence on her family and the family home (more pronounced if she was born on the 2nd, 11th, 20th or 29th day of the month; or if her life Path Number is 2), to the extent where she could have difficulty cutting the umbilical cord if her emancipation is hindered. Her upbringing should ideally be flexible and her parents should shower her with love and affection in order to make sure that she feels emotionally secure. If her sense of responsibility is well nurtured she could reveal herself to be a competent second mother to her brothers and sisters. While she is eager to please, she also loves compliments and these must be handed out scrupulously and with sincerity.
What does she like?
Agafya likes to shine, to be noticed and admired while she exudes charm and majesty. She is a perfectionist and certainly very ambitious; this is a woman who wants to win! She could therefore feel torn between her home and family - which is essential to her (she makes a perfect housewife and an excellent mother), and professional achievement on a large scale. In either case she is likely to feel a certain dissatisfaction: if she concentrates exclusively on her family she could resent being dependent on her partner and not being able to fully express her creativity; and in the second case, sacrificing time with her family will surely have implications on her happiness... Romantically, it won´t be easy for Agafya ´s sweetheart to unravel her many mysteries, especially since she prefers to let her man try and figure her out rather than helping him! Very intuitive herself, she understands her partner without the need for words. Last but by no means least; she will need to maintain a healthy balance between dependence and independence, in a relationship where each person retains supremacy in a specific domain.

What does she do?
Agafya is drawn to the creative or esthetic domains, as well as anything concerning advice and listening. She could enjoy a career involving collaboration and cooperation (mediator, teacher, social worker...), occupations in connection with psychology or parapsychology represent another possibility; and lastly, she has the necessary skills for a role that requires attention, thoroughness and accuracy, such as accounting or secretarial work.

One in four physicians in Massachusetts received at least one gift or payment
The most common gifts were food, while the most lucrative were payments for speaking engagements, consulting or other services, according to an analysis by a Harvard-led research group published online Wednesday by the New England Journal of Medicine.
Between July 2009 and December 2011, industry paid for 14,251 physician meals worth $2.4 million, and made 8,432 payments to doctors for bona fide services totaling $67.3 million.
Payments were more common among specialists than primary care physicians, with more than half of urologists, gastroenterologists, and rheumatologists receiving a payment of some sort. Orthopedic surgeons had the highest average payment over the 30 months, at $18,446.
More than 90 percent of the orthopedists' compensation was for speaking fees and other bona fide services, and this category also accounted for the vast majority of payments to psychiatrists and most internal medicine specialists.
State and federal laws passed in recent years have required more transparency about the financial relationship between doctors and drug and device companies. Massachusetts in 2008 required reporting of such industry payments for services and banned most gifts and free meals. Many of Boston's teaching hospitals and medical schools introduced their own restrictions.
The Legislature in November, under pressure from industry and restaurants, loosened the ban to allow for "modest" gifts and meals. The authors, led by Dr. Aaron S. Kesselheim of Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School, found a decline over the study period of free meals given to doctors. But they predicted that trend could reverse because of the change in the law.

The Vampire Diaries Season 4 Episode 20 recap
So a wee vacation from our friends in Mystic Falls to the grown-up world of New Orleans. I can say with absolute certainty that I got the flavour of the French Quarter in a way I didn't expect to. I mean, the brass bands were somewhat expected, I guess, but the feeling of striding in and out of various establishments and knowing people there is something I've unconsciously associated with New Orleans, without having been there yet.
But was that enough? It felt different than Mystic Falls, sure, in that there was less overall fear. Revelling in the badness of who they are seemed delicious to the "day walkers", the night walkers, and the incredible Marcel, who, it must be said, is a star (no matter what), felt like a fun departure from the dourness of Klaus pouting about Caroline and actually, if not doing something bad, displaying some bad intentions.
But I'm not sure what it gives us. Here's Klaus, in a new environment where he's not the vaunted – and thank God for that – and here's a whole new bunch of vampires who don't really give a sh*t that he's a hybrid. Klaus on the bottom is overdue, so that part garners no complaints from me. As for the associations with the witches, who are maybe the persecuted, I'm listening, but it just seems somewhat…incidental. Or a more validating love interest for Elijah, since the rage of the people won't let him stay with Katherine. Honestly I don't really care – I have found that as Elena gets some teeth, Katherine has become a caricature. It also didn't help that in her big entrance scene this episode, there was some of the worst ADR I've ever seen – the lips did NOT match the speaking. All three of the actors seemed to have redubbed their lines, but Katherine's seemed the worst. It happens, but it sucks – particularly when there's nothing else to look at.
But okay. So the premise of the show really – the part that matters – is that the Mikaelsons have always wanted a family, all of them in their twisted ways, and the fact that Klaus has magically impregnated a werewolf (who…is going to sustain said pregnancy? Does it still take 40 weeks? What happens once a month?) means they all have a chance to try again. I'm into that, especially inasmuch as Rebekah might get to be a surrogate in this scenario. Having said that, it just seems so easy for the trials of the last year or so to be brushed under the rug. "The cure was never going to work for you anyway," Elijah says, and…simple as that, it's a done deal. Really? It's worth giving up that much for? Or is Rebekah, when all is said and done, so attached to her brothers that she's happy to have them in her world, even as dysfunctional as they are?
One thing is certain – getting these age-old Mikaelsons out of Mystic Falls isn't just a good idea, it's necessary. It has undermined their terror every time they've gone to the high school or been foiled by Bonnie whose spells never work. It is definitely time for bigger challenges, and I can't wait to see what they look like (if The Originals is actually given the green light). Can you imagine what happens when Marcel finally decides (because it's only a matter of time) that he wants to get to Klaus through Rebecca? Can you imagine what happens when Klaus decides he cares about that?
As for the folks at home – I'm really hoping the next two episodes do something dramatic for us, something that doesn't revolve around the cure. Unless it's shoved down Stefan's throat, or something unexpected, I can't take anymore talk of it, nor do I want the reset button pressed. Buffy pulled out of heaven this is not, and even that was a dark journey to take.
Would I watch The Originals? Probably, if only to see what happens when a bunch of werewolves and vampires are determined to be happy if it kills them. As a pilot, it was only a pilot. But the potential for both shows is far more exciting than what was actually onscreen.

I've been doing research for our company using the REO sites listed on Mortgage News Daily. Our focus is geared more towards the commercial and multifamily assets so my feedback does not provide much assistance for the single family home investors. I found the following site for Wachovia that may be helpful: http://www.wachovia.com/misc/0,,277,00.html I also did research on Key Bank. While I did not track down a specific website for the Key bank REO's or foreclosures, I did e-mail several of the executives in the hope of finding some of this information. This site lists the debt capital executives as well as their contact info. https://www.key.com/html/J-2.17.a.html I hope this helps.
For people searching for REOs in western states - Zions bank has a web page listing their foreclosures: https://www.zionsbank.com/foreclosed_properties.jsp This site allows a person to view pictures of the property, it also shows the listing agent and list price. The site is well organized and updated often.
Many Realtors will provide you with complimentary lists of REO properties in cities you are interested in. Just ask. Todays Multiple Listing Services can filter email lists for just about any type of data including short sales, bank owned homes, pre foreclosures, probate properties, etc. realtor.com allows you to search by foreclosues. So does zillow.com and many others. I also like realtytrac.com which is a paid service. When I checked with WAMU about their foreclosed homes they referred me to buybankhomes.com
www.thebigreo.com is a great site I found. Nice layout, all links work, linked to only free sites!
There is a big list of these links at ReoFinder, or if you want to search local banks and credit unions you can go to RepoFinder.com.

Eddie the Elf trudged through the snow up the long icy path to the little house where Santa and his wife lived at the North Pole. It was a bright November day, just a month before Christmas. White smoke from a fire inside the house was coming out of the chimney. The sun reflected off the snow-covered roof. Icicles, dripping water, hung down from the eaves and the shutters. Eddie knocked at the front door.
"Who is it?" Mrs. Claus shouted from inside.
"Oh, come right in."
Eddie turned the brass doorknob and went inside. Mrs. Claus was standing by the sink drying some dishes and she smiled at him. She looked at the folder Eddie was carrying. [expand]
"He's in there," Mrs. Claus said, motioning to the door to the study. "Just go right in."
In the study, Eddie saw Santa sitting at a desk next to a blazing fire. He marched up to it. Being an elf, he could just peer over the top of the desk.
"What have we here?" Santa asked.
"We have this request," Eddie said. He handed over a folder he was carrying. "A girl named Barbara in Southampton, New York."
Santa put on his spectacles, opened the folder and read the letter inside.
"A doll house? I don't see what is so hard about a doll house," Santa said.
"Look at the bottom," Eddie said. "She wants it to be big enough to walk into. Standing up."
"Hmmm. And it's to be two stories high? And with an attic?"
"You know the rule. It has to go down the chimney. If it can't fit down a chimney, we can't deliver it."
"We think we can build one that can go down a chimney." Santa raised a bushy white eyebrow. "We think we can build it in pieces, you could take it down the chimney, and she could assemble it."
"How old is this little girl?"
"She has a dad."
"Another question. Something that big–how big is their living room? Or maybe they would assemble it in the yard. Do they have a back yard?"
"Santa, we'll find out."
And so the elf left.
Four days later, a very small man knocked on the front door of a little home on Layton Avenue in Southampton. A mom answered. She looked down at the small man. He wore a uniform with a badge on the jacket. CHIMNEY CHECKER it said.
"Can I help you?" the mom asked.
"I'm here to clean your chimney," the little man said in a high squeaky voice. He held up an official form. "Also I have to measure it up. I'm from the Village Chimney Department." He held up another official form.
"Oh, well it's right over there in the living room. Will there be a mess?"
The little man opened a black bag he was carrying on his shoulder and took out a shovel with a short handle. He pulled on the handle and it telescoped to a big handle.
"No mess," he said. "Or if there is a little one, I will clean it up."
On his way into the living room, the little man glanced out a window. The house had a back yard, and it was quite sizeable indeed.
During the first week in December, the elves set aside one entire workroom to fashion the many pieces needed for the giant dollhouse. A dozen elves were assigned to do the work. They built walls and pictures to go on the walls. They built a kitchen with a refrigerator that folded up. They built windows and doors that folded up. They built a shingled roof that folded up. And they built a bathroom with a full size bathtub that folded up. It was quite a job they did.
On the night before Christmas, Santa made his usual stops at the houses in Southampton, his reindeer landing on the roofs and Santa sliding down the chimneys with the presents and then climbing back up again in order to move on.
When he got to the little house on Layton Avenue, however, he found that hovering in the sky nearby in a long line were nearly 20 other sleighs pulled by teams of reindeers from the North Pole. These were the backup sleighs and the reindeer and drivers in training, and they had arrived right on schedule to bring all the pieces of Barbara's dollhouse to Southampton. They waited patiently, and then moved slowly forward as Santa, piece by piece, carried the folded-up front door, the walls, the windows, the kitchen refrigerator and the folded-up bathtub down the chimney to place them alongside the decorated Christmas tree beside the fireplace.
This took quite a while. And though Santa was up to the task, when he got back after delivering the last piece—a set of full-size dishes and silverware for the dining room table—he did wipe his brow and take a deep breath from the work. But then he smiled, shouted "on Dasher, on Dancer" and was off to the next house.
* * *
Just before dawn, as Barbara slept peacefully in her upstairs bedroom counting the sugarplum fairies in her sleep, Joe, her father, tiptoed down the stairs in his bathrobe, walked into the living room and stopped in his tracks.
What was this?
He moved forward, poking around and sizing it all up, and he decided he'd better get busy. He walked down to his basement workshop, brought up some tools and began to work. Pretty soon, he'd completed half the giant dollhouse, but that was all that would fit in the living room. He sat down in a club chair for a while, thinking about it, and then he noticed there was a note attached with scotch tape to one of the many boxes he had not yet opened. The note read "ASSEMBLE IN THE YARD. MERRY CHRISTMAS." There was a signature. "SANTA." And then he saw the arrow alongside, written in magic marker, that pointed to the window and the backyard beyond.
* * *
At seven, Barbara and her mother came down the stairs. On the sofa, they found Joe, fast asleep. And under the Christmas tree by the fireplace there was…nothing.
Barbara burst into tears. Her crying woke her father, who leaped up and pointed to the window. "Look out there," he said. "See what Santa brought."
Out that window, Barbara now saw—just visible through some snowflakes in the early morning light—a front door to the biggest dollhouse she had ever seen. There was a sign attached to the door.
And so Barbara and her mom and dad rushed into their coats and, together with their little dog Scruff, ran out of the house and around to the yard. It was beautiful. There were two Victorian turrets up top, three ornate red brick chimneys, and a wrap-around porch festooned with decorative railings. They climbed up the porch and went in.
They could all stand up in there just fine. It was just as Barbara had wanted.
"Could I make you some tea?" Barbara asked. She motioned to some chairs there in the living room. "Welcome to my doll house."

Rangers bring Hernandez aboard to throw BP
SURPRISE, Ariz. -- The Rangers have brought in former Major League outfielder Cesar Hernandez to throw batting practice. The job could turn into a bigger role as an assistant hitting coach for Dave Magadan.
Hernandez played for the Reds from 1992-93 and is good friends with Magadan. Teams are allowed an extra coach and many are using it to hire an assistant hitting coach. The Rangers have been considering that possibility.
Johnny Narron unofficially served in that role during his time with the Rangers before becoming the Brewers' hitting coach this past year.

Most notable changes:
- - Built-in map-making tool in the City Editor.
- Chair information. Plus API for easy sitting.
- Private Messages support.
- Access to the friends API for adding friends and getting
friends-list with online status information.
- Some new sample Iams. Most notably a fashion-model able to promote a
designer's fashion.
- Improvements in the chat-processor allowing for more powerful and
compact chat-scripts.
- Ability to automatically reconnect your Iam when the connection is lost.
- Improved path-searching performance.
- Iam's can now use body, face and makeup data.
- Special 'android' appearance. Neither male or female but robot. Optional.
- Log out your Iam when it becomes deactivated for some reason. This
allows for automatic restarts when something goes wrong due to a
programming error and the Iam becomes immobilized.
- Improved Iam Server stability.
This is a mandatory update. Existing Iams might no longer work if not updated to use at least the current IamFramework.jar. It contains an executable JAR-file and the javadocs, but it's actually mostly meant for reference purposes and for inclusion in new projects.
Newcomers are probably best served by downloading the IamTemplate project first, which is completely self-contained and also includes the IamFramework.jar and the javadocs:
Instructions how to get started and more can be found at the wiki: http://ai.bluemars.com/wiki.
Bugs can be reported at http://ai.bluemars.com/wiki
Lastly there's the Iam Library. It is not strictly required to download this file in order to develop Iams. But if you want to follow the step-by-step introduction that's on the Wiki you're going to need it for some of the sections:
Any comments, problems and critiques posted are greatly appreciated.

Now, keep the price of this system in mind because performance is going to be limited due to hardware constraints. So let's take a look at the hardware that we purchased for this build.
