This is nice to see a political figure to consider non-theists in his plans for the 9/11 remembrance. http://blogs.wsj.com/metropolis/2011/09/09/bloomberg-sundays-911-ce...
There is a splattering of protests and name-calling in the comments section. I threw in a positive word for the Mayor and his actions. I think he is doing the right thing.
I am currently having a facebook discussion (argument?) with a member of a local "Interfaith" organization because I stated I felt a local event they planned was exclusive to non-believers. A long-winded rant was returned that I was wrong, and that atheists should quit complaining, get off their butts and do something to help society. Sigh. This could go on forever. The religious just seem blind to the fact that their doctrines are strongly integrated into our every day lives. Of course, it is their event, and they can do whatever they want, I simply stated I didn't feel welcome, and a non-secular event would be more appropriate. On this, Bloomberg and I certainly agree.
Views: 210
Excellent decision Bloomberg. Christian commenters seem to think the Jewish mayor is pandering to Muslims. wth. In religious eyes everything and anything is about them and their religion.

e end of Breast Cancer Awareness Month and I'd be remiss if I didn't do story about my...
We're nearing th
e end of Breast Cancer Awareness Month and I'd be remiss if I didn't do story about my mother-in-law Mary Lukacs.
On October 26th, 1955 in the downstate town of Newburgh, N.Y., Dr. John and Anna Rheinhart Lukacs gave birth to their daughter Mary Elizabeth. She was one of 9 children of John and Anna. She graduated from Valley High School and attended Alfred State College. After college she settled down in Hammondsport, N.Y., where she started her life and began raising her family. She was a wonderful person, a loving wife, and a mother of two. Mary was full of life and loved to enjoy a glass of wine while sailing on the Finger Lakes. On April 15th, 2006 at the age of 50 Mary passed away after a courageous year long battle with breast cancer. It was her second bout with breast cancer in 10 years. She was predeceased by her father who succumbed to cancer in 1974; her mother in 2004 who was a breast cancer survivor, and her sister Joan Knechel
who also lost her battle with breast cancer in 2002.
Many of us felt that if this cancer was detected earlier Mary could have had many more years with us. We also felt that if she had an MRI she would have had a better chance of finding this cancer sooner. So about one year after Mary passed away her family and friends began to lay the groundwork for a 501 (c) (3) charity that would be named her honor. In order to celebrate her vibrant spirit this charity was created, in conjunction with local area hospitals, to provide individuals in our area with the means to pay for an MRI for breast cancer screening. It would ultimately be named the Mary Lukacs MRI Fund
Because of the hard work and efforts of Mary's family and friends and so many generous people, too many to mention here, there has been successful fundraising events held at both Heron Hill
and Bully Hill
wineries over the years. Those efforts haven't gone unnoticed and many people have benefited from this charity because of the hard work and dedication of those who loved Mary and those that have supported this effort. So if you have a moment between now and the end of October please check out the website www.mrifund.org
to learn more about Mary and this wonderful local charity and like our Facebook
page to help us spread the word.

D.C. United cuts designated player Hamdi Salihi
D.C. United has reached a buyout settlement with designated player Hamdi Salihi. The Albanian striker was due to make nearly $500,000 this season but wasn't in the club's plans. United GM Dave Kasper confirmed the move to The Washington Post on Friday.
Salihi, 29, scored six goals in 22 appearances last season. None of his 10 starts came after July 21 as he fell out of favor with coach Ben Olsen. D.C. traded for target forward Lionard Pajoy last year and has bolstered the front line with Brazilian DP Rafael Teixeira de Souza and former MLS MVP Carlos Ruiz during the offseason. Salihi has not trained with United during the offseason, according to The Post.
D.C. now has $350,000 in salary budget room and a DP spot freed up by Salihi's departure. Kasper did not reveal the terms of the buyout and said Salihi likely will sign with a team in China. Several reports have pegged his destination as Jiangsu Sainty, a Nanjing-based club that was the 2012 Chinese Super League runner-up.
"Hamdi could have sat out this entire year and collected his full paycheck,†Kasper told The Post. "But in the end, he wanted to continue playing. I commend him for this.â€
Ruiz joined United on Friday in Orlando, where D.C. will finish out the preseason Walt Disney World Pro Soccer Classic on Saturday with a consolation game vs. the Philadelphia Union.

WESTMINSTER, Md. – McDaniel jumped out to a 21-0 lead in the game's first 16:37 en route to a 21-14 Centennial Conference (CC) football victory over Moravian on Saturday.
Joe Rollins (Temple Hills, Md./Surrattsville) scored all three touchdowns for the Green Terror (1-1, 1-0 CC), who snapped a 13-game losing streak and gave head coach Mike Hoyt his first win as a head coach. Rollins rushed for 219 yards on 29 carries to move into second place on the program's all-time career list with 3,604 yards.
Mike Cousar (Easton, Pa./Easton Area) finished with 11 tackles and had an interception with 19.8 seconds left to seal the victory and allow his offense to go into victory formation for the first time in 686 days. James Price (Baltimore, Md./W.E.B. DuBois) and Nick Chuong (Alexandria, Va./Annandale) added seven stops each.
Robbie Moyer led the Greyhounds (0-2, 0-1 CC) with 117 yards rushing, including a touchdown, while also going 13-for-31 through the air for 96 yards. Chris Negron rushed for 96 yards and a touchdown.
After the opening kickoff went out of bounds, McDaniel took possession of the ball at its own 35-yard line.
After a Rollins three-yard run, Ryan Yamada (Brookeville, Md./Good Counsel) hit Jeff Worek (Pennington, N.J./Hopewell Valley) for another three years but a Moravian facemask penalty moved the ball into Greyhound territory.
On the next play, Rollins broke free down the far sideline for 44 yards and the touchdown 1:13 into the game, taking second place on the rushing list from Rob Johnson.
The defense forced a three-and-out before Sean Montgomery (Bethesda, Md./Walter Johnson) started the next Green Terror series with a nine-yard gain on an end-around.
Rollins ripped off another 10 yards and Yamada found Nick O'Melia (Taneytown, Md./Francis Scott Key) for the first of his eight receptions, gaining 11 more yards.
Another 12-yard connection to O'Melia and a 25-yard strike to JT Kotowski (Colonia, N.J./Colonia) set up a first down at the Moravian 26.
After a five-yard pass to Aqil Tweedy (Fredericksburg, Va./Colonial Forge), Rollins broke free for a 21-yard touchdown and 14-0 lead with 7:11 to play in the first quarter.
A 25-yard run from Rollins before passes of nine yards to O'Melia and 13 yards to Mike Oliveto (Robesonia, Pa./Conrad Weiser) set up a first down at the Greyhound 15.
Rollins sprinted 15 yards on the next play to cap a 7-play, 73-yard march and stretch the lead to 21-0 just 1:37 into the second quarter.
The Green Terror marched deep into Moravian territory on its next two first-half possessions but turned the ball over on downs inside the three-yard line and Noah Miller came away with the first of three Greyhound interceptions to thwart another scoring attempt.
Taking the second half kickoff on its own 25 after a touchback to start the second half, Moravian methodically marched 75 yards on 12 plays in just 3:43 to get on the board. Moyer capped the series from a yard-and-a-half out on fourth-and-goal with 11:23 to play.
Taking over near midfield with 8:36 to play in the fourth quarter, the Greyhounds put together another methodical drive. This time it took 13 plays and 3:54 to move 55 yards before Negron found paydirt from two yards out with 4:46 to play.
Ed Bouye came up with Moravian's third pick, setting up his offense at the Green Terror 34-yard line with 3:42 on the clock.
Facing third-and-5, the McDaniel defense forced back-to-back incomplete passes to get the ball back with 2:46 remaining and the visitors out of timeouts.
Three Rollins runs netted just three yards, forcing Brett Haas (Laurel, Md./Atholton) to punt the ball away.
McDaniel ran the play clock all the way down before calling its final timeout with 36.1 seconds on the clock.
Out of the timeout, Haas unfurled the best of his five punts – all of which came in the second half – for 43 yards to give Moravian the ball at its own 38 with 29.4 seconds on the clock.
Moyer rolled right and heaved a ball downfield that was tipped up by his receiver and Cousar came down with the pass, dragging a foot to ensure he was inbounds and gave his offense the ball with 19.8 seconds showing at its own 26.
Hoyt sent his offense back on the field, where Yamada took the snap and dropped to a knee.
The Green Terror finished with 389 yards of total offense, including 266 on the ground.
McDaniel returns to action at Muhlenberg on Saturday. Game time is 2 p.m.

Q. What are the details of the planned culls?
A. There will initially be pilot culls in two areas of England in West Somerset and West Gloucestershire though the exact parameters of the culls will not be made public.
These 'pilots' are supposedly designed to assess the effectiveness and humaneness of culling badgers by free shooting. Importantly, they will not assess the effectiveness of culling as a control of the spread of the disease. The culls will be paid for and undertaken by or on behalf of farmers who have been invited to put in an application for a licence to free shoot badgers to Natural England, the body who will assess against certain criteria. It is currently unclear how badger wounding rates will be assessed and monitored.
The pilot culls are due to begin at any point after mid-September.

The San Francisco Public Library, in conjunction with Jeepney Projects Worldwide, is pleased to present Endangered Birds of the Philippines, with mixed media works on paper by David Tomb, beginning October, 2013 and running through March, 2014.
The exhibition will feature artwork celebrating the iconic and critically-endangered Great Philippine Eagle and other endangered birds of the Philippines, including the Rufous Hornbill. Tomb's latest artworks are luminous and colorful paper assemblages with subtle low-relief elements that help convey spatial depth, as well as the ambiguous and mysterious jungle terrain of the Philippine island of Mindanao. Through this project, Tomb and Jeepney Projects Worldwide bring attention to the challenges and tensions these grand birds face in order to survive and share a sustainable future with an ever-growing Filipino population.
David Tomb is a co-founder of Jeepney Projects Worldwide: Art for Conservation, an organization that partners with regional conservation groups to inspire, support, and help restore lost habitat of critically endangered birds. In January of 2011, Tomb and the Jeepney team visited Mt. Kitanglad on Mindanao to see wild nesting Great Philippine Eagles and other endemic birds. Jeepney has since partnered with the Philippine Eagle Foundation, creating limited edition fine art prints to raise funding for research and public outreach/education concerning the Great Philippine Eagle.
Tomb has exhibited in galleries, universities, and museums extensively across the United States and has been published widely including the New York Times, The New Yorker, and Harpers. Tomb's work is in many public collections including the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, the Huntington Library, and the Consulate General of the United States in Tijuana and Ciudad Juarez.
On Oct.19th, 1:45pm-2:45pm, Endangered Birds of the Philippines presentation will be one of the featured events in the 2nd Filipino American International Book Festival running from Oct. 18th through Oct. 20th at the Main branch. Presenters include David Tomb, artist and member of Jeepney Projects.

There's an old industrial short subject called "Spring Fever." In it, a man's wife won't let him go out and play golf until he fixes a broken sofa spring. Frustrated, he yells: "I hope I never see another spring as long as I live!" Then, Coily the Spring Sprite suddenly appears. He makes the man's wish come true, just to teach him a lesson. The man soon realizes that his watch, his screen door closer, even his car will no longer work, because there are no more springs in the world.
He begs Coily's forgiveness, and the springs return. That man will never badmouth springs again!
It's the same with your power tools. If a sprite were to suddenly appear and take all of them away, not only would you question your sanity, but you would find your workload impossible. That's how valuable power tools have become in saving you labor, time and money.
As Lori Anewalt, co-owner of Anewalt's Landscape Contracting, Inc., in Bernville, Pennsylvania, puts it, "The only people doing landscape work around here without using power tools are my Amish and Mennonite friends." Her company owns about 150 pieces of power equipment.
Michael Candillo, owner of Raymore, Missouri-based Golden Gate Lawn and Landscape, LLC, owns about 20 to 25 power tools.
"We're running three two-man crews right now. Each crew will have at least two backpack blowers. A mowing crew will have three to four string trimmers, a couple of hedge trimmers, and maybe a chainsaw. A landscaping crew will have even more extensive tools—concrete saws, and things of that nature."
"Anything that a power tool does automatically saves you in human labor," said Linda Beattie, brand marketing manager for Little Wonder, a division of Southhampton, Pennsylvania-based Schiller Grounds Care, Inc. "Whether that's labor, meaning the amount of people required to do a specific task, or the amount of physical exertion that one person must make for that task."
"Think about a hedge trimmer, for example," Beattie continues. "If you were to shear a hedge with scissors, it would take one person an enormous amount of time. If that's all a landscape contractor had, he'd have to have four or five guys out there shearing. How effective is that, using four or five people, when one person can do it with a powered machine in minutes as compared to hours?" "It's a savings in time; less time to get a job done means that more jobs get done in a day. Then there's the wear and tear that's saved on the actual operators or users."
"I've never really thought about it before, because we live in a world where we're absolutely spoiled with technology," said Candillo. "But if we didn't have all these different power tools, it would make a big difference in what we could get done within a day. It would definitely affect the way we hire."
A blower may be a landscape contractor's best friend. When Candillo, was asked which of his power tools he couldn't live without, he said it'd be a close call between his blowers and his trimmers. "Everything we do requires a blower at the end to clean up and remove debris, so they're pretty important to us."
Anewalt grew up working in her parents' vineyard business. She remembers the day they got their first blower. "Prior to that, it was always, 'Pick up a broom if you don't have anything else to do.' I remember seeing that blower work for the first time, saying, 'Whoa! You can blow everything off in about 60 seconds!'"
The blower soon became a necessity for her parents' business, as it is now for hers. "After cutting a client's grass, we blow the driveway off. Some of our clients have very long driveways, as much as a tenth of a mile long. If we used a push broom, that would be a 45-minute project. With a blower, it takes three minutes. If we had to do that with a push broom, it just wouldn't even happen."
As construction supervisor at Blue Sky Landscape Services, Inc., in Puyallup, Washington, Bill Ayers finds blowers indispensible for cleaning up after completing hardscape jobs. "They're a definite time saver, as well as saving on the fatigue of the guys on the crew."
Hedge and string trimmers
Rolland Kuhr, owner of Naturescape Designs in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, depends heavily on his hedge trimmers. "A job that would take me one to two hours by hand takes ten to fifteen minutes with a power hedge trimmer," says Kuhr.
As operations manager, plant and tree care, for Stay Green, Inc., in Valencia, California, Jorge Castaneda oversees crews that maintain large commercial and residential properties. He says his crews "couldn't function without hedge trimmers." He can't even imagine getting through all the jobs they complete in a day without them.
Edgers are used by contractors to cleanly finish off areas where landscape beds or lawns meet pavement.
While a power edger is another great labor and timesaver, it's not considered as much a can't-live-without-it item as some of the others by many landscape people.
"It seems like every day, I drive by somewhere and see three landscape workers using shovels, trying to put in an edge," says Beattie. "Edging devices have been out since the 1950s, but we still have landscape outfits that use the labor of three people just to produce an edge."
Chain and pole saws
Now we come to the real power players: the chainsaw, and it's tall, lanky cousin, the pole saw. Chainsaws cut through trees, logs and thick brush as if they were butter. Most landscape companies own at least one chainsaw.
"There are chainsaws available at every level of power you can imagine," said Dan Pherson, product manager at STIHL, headquartered in Virginia Beach, Virginia. "They range from really large saws used in logging, to very small, lightweight saws that are used for arborist work. Somewhere in between is where the saws used by landscapers fall."
"There are many different things that a contractor would use a chainsaw for," adds Pherson. "Especially if they offer tree services."
Kuhr is one of those. As a certified arborist and a consulting arborist as well as a landscape contractor, his chainsaws are his MVPs. "When I'm cutting a tree down, or a branch with a pretty big diameter, a chainsaw saves me a lot of time and labor."
A pole saw is essentially a small chainsaw attached to the end of a pole. They're used for cutting branches high up in trees, saving the need to rent a cherry picker.
Combination tools
Some manufacturers make basic motor platforms to which edgers, trimmers, blowers and even chainsaws come as attachments you can switch in and out at will. It's kind of a Swiss Army knife approach. The advantage of doing it this way is in not having to buy a lot of separate machines. For a one- or two-person company, this could work well.
Bigger operations would probably be better off with dedicated singletask machines. "When you're attaching and detaching parts, it does lend itself to some dirt ingestion, so there's extra maintenance involved in keeping those connections clean," said Gent Simmons, handheld product manager for North America for the Husqvarna Group, Charlotte, North Carolina. "And you have more wear and tear on the engine itself."
"Most professionals have done the math, and figured out that they save more money in the long run by having dedicated units. For a high-production landscape crew, the quality is there, but it might not fit the business model."
The power question
The consensus among contractors and manufacturers is that for maximum power, gasoline is still the way to go. But you may not need all that power all the time. If you require a chainsaw to lumberjack through thick tree trunks and heavy brush, then it's probably best to stick to gasoline. As for the other tools, you could probably make the switch to battery power without losing productivity.
Stay Green is a large company that's trying to live up to the adjective in its name. "We're moving to battery power for our small power tools, and for our mowers, to propane," says Castaneda. "We're trying to leave no carbon footprint. We also do maintenance for a number of high-end homeowner's associations in Santa Monica, California. There, you're not allowed to use gas-powered blowers."
When the batteries max out, crew members just switch them out for charged ones. "Each crew has about five sets of batteries for the day. As they're driving, they're charging them, just like you charge your mobile phone."
Battery power has come a long way. "Some of these tools that are coming out are just as productive, if not more productive, than their gas counterparts," contends Pherson. "As far as I'm concerned, the lithium-ion battery tools are here to stay. I expect in the future more and more tools that are lithium-ion powered to catch up with their gas counterparts."
Maintenance and repairs
For complicated repairs, some contractors turn to local repair shops or dealers. Some larger companies have their own full-time in-house repair and maintenance shops.
Candillo used to send every repair job out. "I recently hired a foreman who'd been a mechanic in the past. So now we fix smaller problems inhouse."
Kuhr says, "I can fix some things, but not all. Like the other day, a pull-cord broke on one of my chainsaws. I took it to the shop where I bring all my chainsaws, and dropped it off while I did some other important things. They fixed it in half an hour. I picked it up and went back to work."
When it comes to sharpening saw chains, Kuhr prefers not to do it himself. "I take my chain to a place, and pay them to put it through their machine for about ten dollars, rather than me spending my time doing it. They put the dull chain into the machine, and zzzit! It's done in ten minutes."
Find a good dealer
When it's time to buy, Pherson suggests going to an independent servicing dealer. "That's somebody who is really going to know about the product and understand how you're going to be using it." You don't want to buy too much tool, or too little, for your needs.
A relationship with a good dealer is crucial. "When you ask landscape people what is the number-one reason they buy the brand they buy, they'll say, 'I trust my dealer; he does quality work and gets my stuff back to me on time,'" says Simmons. "It's a business partnership. A contractor might be a big fan of our company's products, but if the dealer they trust sells something else, they'll go in a different direction."
Safety We can't talk about power tools without saying a word or two about safety. These tools are safe, when used properly, and when no one has decided to make ill-advised 'improvements,' like taking the guard off of a trimmer.
Of course, all safety efforts can be overcome with a few seconds of carelessness. Make sure your people are well-trained and required to use the proper safety equipment at all times.
Be careful about ethanol
As everyone knows by now, ethanol can really do a number on small engines. Most areas now have gasoline with at least ten percent ethanol. A few states are seeing E15, and even E85.
Candillo used to get many years of use out of his blowers. "We used to use big backpack blowers that cost $800 apiece. But with the ethanol, after a year, I'd take it into the repair shop, and they'd say the motor was trashed, not even worth repairing."
Now Candillo buys what he calls "throwaways," cheap, handheld blowers that cost around $200 each. "I literally buy them with the mindset that we won't do any maintenance on them; we'll just run them until they die. All because of fuel."
Use ethanol-free fuel, if you can find it. If you must use E10, STIHL advises that you use a minimum of only 89 octane gas, and only fresh fuel. Buy just enough gas so that you'll easily use it up within a twomonth period. Drain all the gas out before storing a tool.
Powering your growth
Power tools do more than just make jobs go faster. They may also be the key to how fast, and how big, your company grows.
When asked if she'd have to hire additional people if she didn't have these tools, Anewalt laughs heartily. "There's no doubt about it: our business would not be growing at the pace that it is if we didn't use power tools."
"If we didn't use them, maybe we'd slow down and smell the roses more," she said. "But, looking at it from a business perspective, we need to keep using them to make the money we need to cover our overhead and to pay for our employees— all of those good things."

This lunch in the Bynto consists of:
- turkey rolls
- pear wedges
- cereal bar
- crackers
The turkey rolls are secured on cute bento picks, and the pear slices are contained in a jumbo silicone muffin cup. I LOVE those jumbo muffin cups, but their size prevents them from being used in most of my bento boxes. I am so happy that they work perfectly in the new Bynto. :)
I'm hoping to get to a thorough review post of the box soon, comparing it to it's big brother box, the Goodbyn. But I can say this: it's much smaller, it fits in a standard lunchbox, and the lid is easier to put on & take off (much!). I'm trying to think hard to come up with something I don't like about it. But the truth is, I can't. And I'm trying to talk myself out of ordering another one. I do have four kids after all....

Homeowners from North Carolina to Vermont will spend the weekend cleaning up from the remnants of Tropical Storm Nicole, which dumped rain-forest quantities of precipitation on their communities over several days.
Some of the eye-popping totals include 22.5 inches of rain in five days in Wilmington, N.C., 10.5 inches of rain in 24 hours in Moscow, Pa., and 9.5 inches of rain in Jim Thorpe, Pa., in the same time period. The heavy rain began even before Nicole swept inland from the Atlantic.
"Some places have seen three months of rain in one day," says Alex Sosnowski, a senior meteorologist at AccuWeather.com in State College, Pa. "In North Carolina it's more like five or six months worth of rain in the past five days."
The deluge has led to major flooding in such places as Waterbury, Vt., Delhi, N.Y., and Bertie County, N.C., according to the National Weather Service. At least eight fatalities, all traffic-related, are attributed to the storm waters, according to wire service reports.
Seven of the deaths were in North Carolina, where officials are asking residents to remain off the local roads. At the peak of the flooding on Thursday, the state had closed 150 roads, says Julia Jarema, a spokeswoman for the North Carolina Emergency Response Team in Raleigh.
"There have been a lot of helicopter and aquatic rescues," she says. "We're telling people if they see water running across a road, turn around, don't drown."
As the first step in determining if the federal government will need to step in to provide assistance, FEMA, at the request of state governors, has sent liaison officers to Maryland, Delaware, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Vermont, and New Hampshire.
The main form of government assistance would be emergency help for food and shelter. If President Obama declares enough damage has taken place, FEMA can provide up to $28,000 per household in individual expenses for emergency medical needs, food, and emergency shelter. The Small Business Administration also is often available to offer low interest loans.
On Thursday, Gov. Bev Purdue of North Carolina declared a state of emergency in anticipation of damage from the storms. Once the rivers subside early next week, Ms. Jarema says the state expects to get officials out to tour the damaged areas and determine if they need federal assistance.
That day Mr. Obama signed a one year extension to the federal flood insurance program. Had the program not been renewed by Congress and signed by the president, some 5.4 million policyholders nationwide would have been without protection. The timing of the renewal was a drop of good news for policyholders living in the path of Nicole.
However, David Maurstad, a former administrator of the National Flood Insurance Program, says that historically the percentage of people with the insurance, even those in high-risk areas, is not very good.
He says a good rule of thumb is that among people living in an area that has been declared a federal disaster, 50 percent of the residents subsequently participate in the program. "That's not very good," he says.
Anyone with a federally insured mortgage living in an area with a 1 percent chance of a flood is required to have federal flood insurance. Two years ago, after the Midwest floods that lasted several weeks and caused tens of billions of dollars in damages only 10 percent of the people in those high-risk areas had flood insurance, Mr. Maurstad says.
"People are either willing to take the financial burden or are taking the ostrich approach and hope it does not happen to them," he says.
The largest payout for the federal program was after Hurricane Katrina hit in 2005, when it paid out $16 billion. That was significantly more money than the program had in the way of reserves. The program borrowed the money from the US Treasury.
However, Maurstad, now national director of Water Policy and Planning at PBS&J, an engineering and design company based in Tampa, Fla., says since Katrina the program has had enough money to pay claims. He expects that will also be true this year despite the recent flooding.

The Accounting Historians Journal Vol. 16, No. 1 June 1989 Morton Pincus WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY LEGISLATIVE HISTORY OF THE ALLOWANCE OF LIFO FOR TAX PURPOSES Abstract: The legislative history of the allowance of LIFO for tax purposes is documented. The legislative process was structured around veto points of the law and yielded an examination of the political environment out of which the LIFO tax provisions emerged. LIFO provisions were analyzed relative to alternative tax options available to firms, administrative and judicial activities, overall tax legislation including tax rates, and general economic conditions. Production processes of firms lobbying for LIFO were examined and the views of academics and practitioners were incorporated. In addition to providing the basis for a regulatory event study by identifying the critical dates in the legsilative process, insight into the timing and choice of inventory accounting methods for financial reporting as well as for tax is gained. INTRODUCTION LIFO, the last-in, first-out inventory accounting method, has been a topic of interest to accounting researchers in several areas, including capital market research, financial statement analysis, inventory policy, taxation, and history. In one way or another, most of these research efforts have attempted to pro-vide evidence on the general issue of whether the use of alterna-tive accounting policies matters. Assuming it does, the next question is whether to allow managers to choose accounting methods or to impose uniform methods. What makes LIFO such an appealing method to study in this area of research is the direct link between book and tax reporting which results from the statutory conformity rule. That is, LIFO may be used for tax purposes only if it also is used for financial reporting purposes. LIFO produces lower accounting I gratefully acknowledge the helpful comments received at various stages of this research from Nick Dopuch, Silvia Madeo, Powell Niland, Grace Pownall, Gary Previts, Bob Virgil, Steve Zeff, participants at the Tax History Conference at the University of Mississippi, and two anonymous referees. I also wish to thank William Cooper, Gary Previts, and Alfred Roberts for providing me with unpublished materials.

OK, so they're not who we thought they were.
Every time you see that big snowflake in the middle of this year's Super Bowl logo, it suggests the easiest way to pick the last team standing is to draw a line through teams from warm-weather climes and then round up the usual cold-weather suspects.
The NFL's opening playoff weekend changed that.
Neither New Orleans nor San Francisco had won a game in the cold since 2000 - applying the 32-degree benchmark - and San Diego hadn't even played the minimum 10 games in those conditions required to make the list. They not only managed to win; all three did so on the road against teams - Philadelphia, Green Bay and Cincinnati, respectively - that ranked Nos. 2-4 on that same list, and trailed only always-formidable New England, which wins in bad weather an eye-popping 80 percent of the time.
The biggest weather challenge, though not the biggest upset, came in Green Bay, where the mercury registered 5 degrees at kickoff, with a wind chill of minus-10. The 49ers were expected to lean heavily on their ground game, if only to hold mistakes to a minimum. Instead, they wound up throwing the ball as many times as they ran it, 30 each.
After Phil Dawson's game-winning kick as time expired gave San Francisco the win, 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh seemed almost bothered at questions about throwing the ball around. He didn't point out that his quarterback was the one wearing short sleeves - Colin Kaepernick was born in Milwaukee - with plenty of cold-weather experience. Or conversely that Michael Crabtree, the receiver Kaepernick threw to most often, was born in Texas and played his high school and college ball there.
Toughness, Harbaugh said finally, wasn't about where you grew up or played before.
'People talk about cold weather and it would be tough to catch balls … Michael Crabtree catches everything, It's unbelievable.' Harbaugh began. 'In the northern snowlands, down to the tropics' sunny scenes, he's catching the football.
'If my life depended on it,' he added a moment later, 'and somebody had to catch the ball, I'd enlist Michael Crabtree to do it.'
And until this weekend, if Harbaugh and most others had to choose someone to throw it in similar conditions, the Saints' Drew Brees and the Chargers' Philip Rivers likely wouldn't be the first names that come to mind. And to be honest, neither did more with his arm than was necessary.
Brees handed the ball off plenty in Philadelphia, and the 10-minute edge in time of possession, coupled with a last-gasp field goal by Shayne Graham proved decisive in sealing New Orleans' first-ever playoff win on the road. Rivers threw even less, just 16 passes in all, and let his defense capitalize on turnovers by Cincinnati QB Andy Dalton. He admitted afterward playing that conservatively didn't sit well, but also that he learned playing in lousy weather demanded it.
'The way our defense was playing, as long as we didn't have a disaster and we made plays when they were there,' he admitted afterward, 'we were going to win this game.'
If nothing else, it should prepare the brash quarterback and his teammates heading to Denver next week, where the weather could be fierce and the temptation to get into a shootout with the Broncos' Peyton Manning will be even fiercer. Manning is 0-3 in playoff games in the cold, so he, too, is likely to be tempted.
'We will be confident,' Rivers said. 'We've got to be careful we're not overconfident.'
That won't be a problem for Brees. His Saints head to Seattle, where they figure to get a relative break from the weather, but not from memories of a devastating playoff loss there three years ago, plus a 34-7 beating by the Seahawks less than a month ago.
'It's loud, it's crazy, they've got a good thing going there,' Brees said. 'Obviously, they've only lost one game there in the last two years. But having been there less than a month ago, I think that serves us well, what to expect, how to prepare for it.
'But we're going to need our best game, that's for sure.'
Ditto for the Colts, who leave the comfort of their dome behind and travel to New England. Quarterback Andrew Luck brought Indianapolis back from a 28-point, third-quarter deficit to beat Kansas City, a trick that won plenty of praise from Patriots coach Bill Belichick.
'I think they've shown a lot of mental toughness. That game was about as good as it gets. To be that far behind in the third quarter, it didn't look too good for them and all (of) the sudden, in a hurry, you could feel them coming back, or at least I could.'
Yet for all the surprises, mild and otherwise, over the weekend, New England and Denver figure to play for the AFC Championship. On the NFC side, look for Seattle, which plays well in all kinds of weather. And the best guess here is that if you run into fans buying up as many gloves and hats as they can, they'll be from San Francisco.

How Do You Make Art When You Can't Afford Housing?/
I am sure I was not the only one who was a bit shocked to see the infographic that demonstrated that NOWHERE IN THE USA IS IT POSSIBLE TO AFFORD A TWO BEDROOM APARTMENT ON A FORTY HOUR PER WEEK MINIMUM WAGE JOB. How can you have a family when you can not afford to care for them? The creation of art has become a luxury in America. No wonder we are a nation of money-movers when students leave college with a debt of hundreds of thousands of dollars.

"MUSIC IN EXILE-ÉMIGRÉ COMPOSERS OF THE 1930s" NOVEMBER 9 TO 13, 2008
"Music in Exile-Émigré Composers of the 1930s" Opens on 70th Anniversary of Kristallnacht
Five Premieres Are Featured in Five-Day Series of Music and Talks, Concluding With Marc Neikrug's Music-Theater Piece Through Roses
On Sunday, November 9, the 70th anniversary of Kristallnacht, and 75 years since Adolf Hitler's rise to power, the Museum of Jewish Heritage – A Living Memorial to the Holocaust, in association with Canada's Royal Conservatory of Music, will launch "Music in Exile-Émigré Composers of the 1930s," a five-day series of concerts, talks, and a music-theater piece celebrating the music of Jewish composers forced to flee the Third Reich and German composers who resisted the Nazi regime.
The series takes place in the Museum's Edmond J. Safra Hall located at 36 Battery Place and includes premieres by five different composers and a lecture/talk about "Entartete Musik" by Gottfried Wagner, the great-grandson of composer Richard Wagner and the founder of the Post-Holocaust Dialogue Group, which seeks to reconcile victims and perpetrators of the Holocaust. Featured are the ARC Ensemble (Artists of the Royal Conservatory), who have dedicated themselves to the performance of both the traditional chamber music canon and the rediscovery of repertoire that, through political changes or shifts in musical fashion has been ignored or marginalized, including music written before and during the Holocaust. Simon Wynberg, artistic director of the ARC Ensemble, is curator of the series, and Stephen Vann is the artistic producer. Other artists include violinist Daniel Phillips, co-founder of the Orion String Quartet and professor of violin at Queens College; Canadian bass Robert Pomakov, and baritone Chris Pedro Trakas. Marc Neikrug conducts his music-theater work Through Roses, featuring veteran actor Saul Rubinek.
Pre-concert talks by such authorities as Michael Beckerman, professor of music and historical musicology at New York University, and Bret Werb, musicologist of the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, will complement several presentations.
Information and tickets for "Music in Exile-Émigré Composers of the 1930s" are available by calling the Museum of Jewish Heritage at 646.437.4202 or by visiting the Museum's Web site at www.mjhnyc.org

States back fracking website
For all the anger and divisiveness of the fracking debate, one nonprofit disclosure website may be something that almost everyone can agree on.
FracFocus, a year-old site affiliated with coalitions of state governments, has won praise from Hill lawmakers, industry groups and even some environmentalists as a model for states taking the lead in disclosing the chemicals used in hydraulic fracturing operations. The site allows the public to pull up a list of the fracking chemicals used in wells operated by a participating company.
Story Continued Below
Some states have even written the site into their fracking regulations by name — lending it the legitimacy and heft that come with widespread use and data from wells in 20 states. The Interior Department is also considering using the site as it develops fracking disclosure rules for wells on federal land.
Not everyone is sold on the site — environmentalists and public records advocates question its transparency and limited search capabilities. But FracFocus's growing use among states and industry groups may pave the way for the site to get an even larger profile as a part of federal fracking regulations, including those being pondered by the Bureau of Land Management.
The site is the brainchild of the Ground Water Protection Council, a national nonprofit made up of state regulatory agencies, and the Interstate Oil and Gas Compact Commission, a multi-state agency that advocates state regulation of the oil-and-gas industry. The groups came together to fill a need of their members, said Mike Paque, executive director of the groundwater council.
"We wanted to build something where the industry could voluntarily report," Paque said. "But we wondered, if we built it, would they come? We weren't sure if that would work."
As of last month, 212 companies had signed up for the service, and data on the site were available for as many as 13,000 wells in 20 states from up to 150 companies. The Canadian province of British Columbia recently joined the site as well, said Gerry Baker, associate executive director of the compact commission.
Some environmental groups think the site has promise.
"So long as the FracFocus format will support all the disclosure requirements of the [Bureau of Land Management] rule, then this is probably the quickest, easiest and cheapest way to get reporting done," said Matt Watson, senior energy policy manager at the Environmental Defense Fund. "The key issue is making sure that you have quality control and quality assurance mechanisms in place."
So far, Interior has been tight-lipped about how it will propose to regulate hydraulic fracturing on federal lands. But the issue that has garnered the most attention is the disclosure of the fracking chemicals that companies use to break up rock formations and stimulate production from their wells.
Information about the yet-to-be-released rules has trickled out in recent months, starting with a leaked copy of a preliminary draft that said gas operators would have to disclose the "complete chemical makeup" of their fracking fluids and the amounts they're using. Then came congressional testimony from BLM Director Bob Abbey, who said the agency's rules might incorporate FracFocus as a vehicle for the disclosure process.
In theory, Abbey said, producers could complete just one disclosure form on the site and send it to state and federal regulators.
"If we end up adopting [FracFocus] as part of our process, that would provide greater consistency across the states," Abbey told reporters after a hearing March 6. "And the industry would be pleased with that, instead of having two different systems they have to report to."

It's an Olympic-sized romance for U.S. figure skater Evan Lysacek and U.S. gymnast Nastia Liukin – the Olympic gold medalists are reportedly dating.
According to People, Evan and Nastia have been dating since last summer. They first met in October 2008 while performing in NBC's "Skating & Gymnastics Spectacular."
"We became good friends and have become really close since then," Evan told the mag.
The duo reportedly got serious after attending the ESPYs together last July and then Evan reportedly traveled to Dallas in August to support Nastia at the U.S. Nationals – something he found hard to watch.
"It was cool but nerve-racking watching her compete – to be on the balance beam like that? For me, it's easier to do it then watch it," he said.
Access Hollywood caught up with Nastia last week in Vancouver just before Evan clinched the gold medal – and the gymnast said she was pumped to see Evan compete.
"I'm excited and nervous [for Evan]," she told Access at the time, adding, "As long as he skates well and does up to his best capabilities. And that's the most important thing, to be happy with your performance, no matter what. If you do win a medal, no matter what color, as long as you enjoy the experience and just have fun out there."
Nastia told the mag that it was amazing to watch Evan bring home gold in men's figure skating – the first to do so in 22 years.
"To see his dreams come true was amazing," Nastia explained. "Even though we're not in the same sport, we got to connect at the same level because there's nothing like the Olympics. It was nice to be on other side of things and be the support system, but I was nervous."
And the figure skater couldn't be happier to have Nastia's support.
"She been so helpful to me," he told the mag. "She has been through it herself. If I'm having a bad day, she tells me to have faith and to keep going. Sometimes your support system has more faith in you than yourself. And when she tells me things are going to be fine, I really believe it."

Cubs recall RHP Justin Grimm, LHP Brooks Raley and C J.C. Boscan from Triple-A Iowa
The Chicago Cubs today recalled right-handed pitcher Justin Grimm, left-handed pitcher Brooks Raley and catcher J.C. Boscan from Triple-A Iowa. Additionally, the Cubs selected the contract of left-handed pitcher Zach Rosscup from Triple-A.
To make room for Rosscup on the 40-man roster, outfielder Dave Sappelt was designated for assignment.
The Chicago Cubs today recalled right-handed pitcher Justin Grimm, left-handed pitcher Brooks Raley and catcher J.C. Boscan from Triple-A Iowa. Additionally, the Cubs selected the contract of left-handed pitcher Zach Rosscup from Triple-A.
To make room for Rosscup on the 40-man roster, outfielder Dave Sappelt was designated for assignment.
All four players will be available for the Cubs tonight against the Miami Marlins at Wrigley Field. Grimm will wear uniform number 52 and Rosscup, who joins the first big league roster of his pro career, will wear uniform number 59.
Grimm, 25, was acquired from Texas on July 22 as part of the trade that sent Matt Garza to the Rangers. Prior to the trade, Grimm had spent nearly the entire 2013 season at the major league level, going 7-7 with a 6.37 ERA (63 ER/89.0 IP) in 17 starts with Texas. He was named the American League Rookie of the Month for April after going 2-0 with a 1.59 ERA (3 ER/17.0 IP) in three starts, fanning 15 and walking only four.
The righthander joined Iowa after the trade and went 2-3 with a 4.68 ERA (22 ER/42.1 IP) in eight starts. He finished his campaign strong, going 2-1 with a 2.76 ERA (9 ER/29.1 IP) in his final five starts.
Grimm made his big league debut last season thanks to a combined 11-6 record with a 2.81 ERA (42 ER/134.2 IP) in 25 appearances (22 starts) between Double-A Frisco and Triple-A Round Rock. He earned Texas League mid-season All-Star honors last year. Grimm is 8-8 with a 6.73 ERA (77 ER/103.0 IP) in 22 big league appearances, 19 as a starter, covering the last two seasons. Overall in his minor league career, Grimm is 21-12 with a 3.28 ERA (118 ER/323.1 IP) in 59 appearances (56 starts).
Raley, 25, returns for his third stint with the Cubs this season. He made one appearance during his previous two stops, allowing two runs in a 4.1 inning relief appearance vs. the Angels on July 10. With Iowa this season, Raley went 8-10 with one save and a 4.46 ERA (70 ER/141.1 IP) in 27 appearances (25 starts), allowing two earned runs or less in six of his final eight starts.
The southpaw made his big league debut with the club last August and went 1-2 with an 8.14 ERA (22 ER/24.1 IP) in five starts.
Boscan, 33, returns for his second stint with the Cubs this season. He spent August 8-10 with the club but did not appear in a game. Boscan spent parts of the last three seasons with the Braves (2010-12), posting a career .263 batting average (5-for-19) in 11 major league contests. The 2013 campaign marks the 17th professional season for the right-handed hitting catcher. He made his big league debut with the Braves on October 1, 2010 after 976 minor league games spanning 14 seasons.
The Venezuelan native batted .232 (54-for-233) with nine doubles and 18 RBI in 74 games with Iowa this season. Boscan was a non-roster invitee to spring training with the Cubs after signing a minor league deal last November. He originally signed with the Braves as a non-drafted free agent on July 2, 1996, and has played in the Atlanta (1997-2005, 2008-12), Milwaukee (2006), Cincinnati (2007) and Cubs organizations.
Rosscup, 25, is poised to make his major league debut after combining to go 2-2 with three saves and a 2.12 ERA (12 ER/51.0 IP) in 46 relief appearances between Double-A Tennessee and Triple-A Iowa, his first full season pitching exclusively in relief. He struck 83 batters in 51.0 innings pitched, an average of 14.2 strikeouts per nine innings, while limiting all foes to a .195 batting average (36-for-185). Rosscup allowed two homers in 51.0 innings.
The southpaw began the season with Tennessee, where he went 2-1 with three saves and a 2.49 ERA (12 ER/43.1 IP) in 37 outings to earn his first-ever promotion to Triple-A. With Iowa, Rosscup did not allow an earned run in nine appearances, striking out 17 in 7.2 innings pitched.
Rosscup was acquired by the Cubs as part of the eight-player trade that brought Matt Garza to Chicago on January 8, 2011. The Clackamas, Ore. native was originally selected by Tampa Bay in the 28th round of the 2009 Draft. In five minor league seasons, Rosscup is 14-10 with four saves and a 2.62 ERA (63 ER/216.2 IP) in 94 minor league appearances (27 starts). He is the second player from Chicago's inaugural 2013 Rookie Development program to reach the big leagues, joining teammate Logan Watkins.
Chicago's 40-man roster stands at 40 players.

Police: College student drunk in crash that killed friend
Uttley charged in 2011 crashed that killed Ashley Donahue
Police say a former Framingham State University student who's charged with driving drunk and causing a crash that killed her friend violated terms of her probation by drinking alcohol.
Police say 23-year-old Brooke Uttley was spotted by an officer working a detail at a Framingham restaurant on Friday.
The MetroWest Daily News reports that Uttley told the officer she was drinking cranberry juice, but the bartender told police she was served vodka with cranberry juice.
Police on Saturday received a fax from the chief probation officer at Middlesex Superior Court with a warrant for Uttley's arrest.
Prosecutors say Uttley was drunk and driving 60 mph in a 25 mph zone when she hit a pole December 2011, killing her passenger, Ashley Donahue.
Uttley is free on bail while awaiting trial.

How To Realize Its Potential in the Organization FieldVolberda, Henk W.; Foss, Nicolai J.; Lyles, Marjorie A. (Frederiksberg, 2009)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The purpose of this Perspective Paper is to advance understanding of absorptive capacity, its underlying dimensions, its multi-level antecedents, its impact on firm performance and the contextual factors that affect absorptive capacity. Nineteen years after the Cohen and Levinthal 1990 paper, the field is characterized by a wide array of theoretical perspectives and a wealth of empirical evidence. In this paper, we first review these underlying theories and empirical studies of absorptive capacity. Given the size and diversity of the absorptive capacity literature, we subsequently map the existing terrain of research through a bibliometric analysis. The resulting bibliometric cartography shows the major discrepancies in the organization field, namely that (1) most attention so far has been focused on the tangible outcomes of absorptive capacity; (2) organizational design and individual level antecedents have been relatively neglected in the absorptive capacity literature; and (3) the emergence of absorptive capacity from the actions and interactions of individual, organizational and inter-organizational antecedents remains unclear. Building on the bibliometric analysis, we develop an integrative model that identifies the multi-level antecedents, process dimensions, and outcomes of absorptive capacity as well as the contextual factors that affect absorptive capacity. We argue that realizing the potential of the absorptive capacity concept requires more research that shows how "micro antecedents" and "macroantecedents" influence future outcomes such as competitive advantage, innovation, and firm performance. In particular, we identify conceptual gaps that may guide future research to fully exploit the absorptive capacity concept in the organization field and to explore future fruitful extensions of the concept.

A Learning PerspectiveLyles, Marjorie A.; Pedersen, Torben; Petersen, Bent (København, 2005)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The study explores how firms close their knowledge gaps in relation to business environments of foreign markets. Potential determinants are derived from traditional internationalization process theory as well as more recent literature on organizational learning processes, including the concept of absorptive capacity. Building on these two literature streams a conceptual model is developed and tested on a set of primary data of Danish firms and their foreign market operations. The empirical study suggests that factors considered essential in traditional internationalization process theory, such as experiential learning, explains only a very limited part of perceived knowledge gaps. When factors pertaining to the concepts of absorptive capacity and superstitious learning are added, the explanatory power improves significantly. Apparently, our understanding of firms' internationalization processes can be enriched by insights from organizational learning literature. Key words: Internationalization, knowledge gap, absorptive capacity, superstitious learning. JEL Codes: D21, F23, M10 URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7434

RICHMOND, Va. – There will be two new faces with plenty of baseball experience on the VCU baseball staff this upcoming season as Head Coach Paul Keyes announced the additions of Kurt Elbin and Seth Cutler-Voltz to the Rams' staff.
"Anytime you can add not only great baseball minds, but quality people to your staff, it's going to help the program," Keyes said. "Kurt and Seth bring a wealth of knowledge and a great work ethic to our staff and we're excited to have them with us for the upcoming season."
Elbin joins the Black & Gold after spending the past two seasons as the primary assistant at Shippensburg University. During his two year tenure at Shippensburg, Elbin helped lead the Raiders to 87 wins, including 32 this past season. The 32 wins were the most wins the program posted since 2008.
Before joining the Raiders staff, Elbin spent three seasons at Thiel College. Under his guidance the Tomcats were a Division III powerhouse in the President's Athletic Conference, being ranked as high as 13th nationally during his stint.
The Bedford, Pa. native played collegiately at Lock Haven, where he graduated in 2006 before finishing his master's at California (Pa.) in 2008.
Cutler-Voltz joins the staff after a stellar four-year career with the Black and Gold. He will serve as the graduate assistant this upcoming year, while he attends the Center for Sports Leadership at VCU.
The Richmond, Va. native spent three seasons as a mainstay in the Rams rotation. This past season, he finished with a 7-3 record, 4.29 ERA and 67 strikeouts. Cutler-Voltz finished his VCU playing career ranked in the top-ten in many statistical categories including innings pitched, complete games and appearances.
Elbin and Cutler-Voltz will help lead the VCU baseball program into a new era, as VCU will compete in its first season of Atlantic 10 play in 2013.

WASHINGTON, July 17 (UPI) -- The U.S. House voted 251-174 Wednesday to delay for one year the individual mandate to purchase health insurance under the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare.
The vote immediately followed a 264-161 vote to authorize the delay of the employer mandate, which the Obama administration this month said it would postpone for one year to give U.S. employers "more time to comply with the new rules."
Thirty-five Democrats voted with Republicans to delay the employer mandate, while 22 Democrats voted to delay the individual mandate.
"I believe they've run out of excuses, they've run out of ideas, and now they're starting to backpedal," House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., was quoted by Politico as saying.
"Why is it that under this White House, Warren Buffett gets a break from Obamacare, but Joe Six-Pack, the single mom ... they don't get a break?" asked Rep. Kevin Brady of Texas, a top Republican on the Ways and Means Committee.
President Barack Obama will veto the measures, the White House said earlier. The administration "strongly opposes" the delays, a White House statement said.
Obama will deliver remarks at the White House Thursday to discuss how the ACA is holding insurance companies accountable and "putting money back into the pockets of over 8.5 million Americans, the White House said Wednesday.
The employer mandate requires businesses with 50 or more full-time employees to purchase health insurance or face penalties. The individual mandate requires the same thing for most Americans.
The back-to-back votes Wednesday seek to codify the White House's delay and match it with a one-year delay of the individual provision.
House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said earlier on the House floor the vote would "make sure that families and individuals get the same break from Obamacare that the president gave big businesses."
The House votes are widely seen as symbolic. Neither bill is expected to pass the Senate, controlled by Democrats.
Republicans said the votes would force Democrats to align with Obama or distance themselves from the overhaul.
"I think most Democrats will stick together," Rep. Steny Hoyer, D-Md., the No. 2 House Democrat, told reporters.
The non-partisan Congressional Budget Office, which provides economic data to Congress, said Tuesday delaying the individual mandate would reduce the deficit while increasing premiums.
The office did not produce a cost estimate for delaying the employer mandate.
The House has voted 37 times to repeal Obama's signature healthcare law The U.S. Supreme Court upheld most of the law's constitutionality in June 2012.

This is combination of a lid, a doser and a processor. The Gizmo is seen in action in the large bottle in the scan of the company's website below. The orange colour has been introduced from the lid and is being mixed into the contents of the bottle.
click the image to visit the website
The apparently oversized lid on the bottle contains material and a gas, normally carbon dioxide as well as a concentrate. When the lid is twisted a seal is broken and the gas forces the concentrate into the bottle, mixing the concentrate into the contents.
As well as beverages, Gizmo believes there are opportunities in chemical, household liquids, cosmetics, agricultural chemicals and pharmaceuticals.
Although there might be a fun value in mixing colour and flavour into your carbonated soft drink, I believe the cost and complexity of the Gizmo Closure is better suited to applications where keeping the additives and base separate until consumption has value. For instance an antioxidant added to a milk drink might be unstable during storage either reducing functionality or resulting in off flavours. This would be an ideal application where the antioxidant is stored in an air and light tight cap, reducing the chance of deterioration and extending the shelf life.
As an ex brewer, maybe this is the magic alcoholic beer concentrate package. The freeze evaporated concentrate could be stored in the cap of a cap on a bottle of soda water.
Possibly there is an opportunity to sell the caps separately for personalised modification of beverages or the simultaneous carbonation and flavoring of tap water which would reduce packaging, transport and storage costs for flavored bottled water.

BERKELEY — Police are looking for a suspect who used a handgun to rob the Mechanics Bank on Solano Avenue just after it opened Wednesday morning.
Berkeley police spokeswoman Jennifer Coats said the robbery occurred at 9:26 a.m. No injuries were reported and police are searching the neighborhood and talking to bank employees. Police were not sure if the man left in a car or fled on foot, Coats said.
The suspect is described as a black man, possibly in his late 30s, about 6 feet 6 inches tall, stocky, wearing a black watchman's cap and a dark sweatshirt and carrying a black backpack.
Coats said the man got away with an undisclosed amount of cash.

If there's one thing Hatboro residents are known for, it's being proud of their hometown. Not only is there plenty to do near Hatboro - it's located just 19 miles from Philadelphia and 90 miles from Manhattan - but the borough of Montgomery County offers its residents plenty to do right in their own backyards. As an involved, friendly community, Hatboro has a stuffed activity calendar that is perfect for families looking to live a small-town lifestyle within driving distance to metropolitan areas.
People and families looking for apartments in Hatboro can join a population of approximately 7,400 residents residing within 1.4 square miles, many of whom know each other's names and see at the borough's community events.
Despite its small size, Hatboro has played an important role in some of the most important chapters of American history. Hatboro's first resident, John Dawson - fittingly, a hatter from England - came to the area in 1715 and built a home that became known as the Crooked Billet Inn. The village was then called Billet, then later Hatborough in 1740. The small farming village consisted of 15 homes alongside a stage coach route between Philadelphia and New York, but education in the area has always been a priority.
However, Hatboro also played roles in the Revolutionary War, starting when George Washington and his officers ate dinner at the Crooked Billet Tavern in the summer of 1777, and then bought grain from a mill that is now known as the Old Mill Inn. Popular legend says that the Revolutionary War soldiers wore hats made in Hatboro.
The Revolutionary War Battle of Crooked Billet was fought in Hatboro on May 1, 1778. While British soldiers occupied Philadelphia, the militia in Hatboro was surprised by British troops and defeated in the battle. A battle monument can be found outside the Crooked Billet Elementary School.
Because the borough of Hatboro is quite small, many of its residents commute to other areas and find work. The top employers in Montgomery County include Main Line Health Systems, Abington Health, Lockheed Martin, Holy Redeemer Health Systems, ACTS Retirement-Life Communities, Aetna, Prudential, SunGard and Teva Pharmaceuticals. The top 16 employers in the area provide jobs for approximately 48,000 local residents.
People looking for Hatboro apartments can easily commute to higher education campuses and facilities, as there are 29 colleges and universities within a 29-mile radius to Hatboro. The Hatboro-Horsham provides quality educational opportunities for adult evening classes and K-12 schooling for children living in the borough.
Hatboro may be a small community, but its residents know what a good spot they live in. Data from the U.S. Census Bureau shows that residents' average income is more than $65,000 - more than $15,700 more than the average income in the state of Pennsylvania. Property value has increased in recent years, hitting approximately $254,000 in 2009 from $134,900 in 2000.
Hatboro seems like the idea place to raise a family, and renting can be an affordable option for many, as the median gross rent is approximately $902.l
Borough residents can count on the Hatboro government to create a jam-packed social calendar to keep them busy throughout the months and seasons. From lobster boils, golf outings, summer carnivals, car shows, an annual HatOtober and Fire & Ice Festivals, there are plenty of opportunities for people to have fun close to home. Who says you have to travel to Philadelphia or New York for a good time, anyway?

File 1,006 Spoiler Pics:
Summary from Sakaki:
I regret to inform you all that there will now be... a 3 week break. You can expect 1,007 spoiler pics to come out on October 27th.
As for my own thoughts on 1,006...
When Ran leaves for school Conan checks his phone and is overjoyed to have the message from Ran that she officially wants to be his gf. "Oh hell, it wasnt a dream!"
It seems he replied to her last text towards the end of 1,005... either that, or she sent him this other text, and is still wondering when he'll respond to it and the one from 1,005.
He heads to Agasas house and is having good when ai calls him and is like "What the hell did did I tell you about standing out?!" (referring to Social media attention). Everyone knows that Shinichi solved the case. Huge crowd is in front of his home. Reports try to get infos since they thought that something happened to him. Okiya tries to fend them off. Conan and Ai freaking out.
Well, those of you who wanted the press and other people to show up at the Kudo house at Scarlet Showdown... over 100 files/3 years ago... here you—kinda—go.
Conan is sick home, while Ai calls him from school Rumi asks Ai about Shinichi being back home since she lives next door.
Well, well—one of them is sick at a tense time...
Conversation stops when Kobayashi comes to ask the kids a question. Maria Higashio didnshow up today and she wonders what happened to her. Everyone is a bit worried. Kids are going to her house to see what is going on. At he house a bunch of hints and arrows in her house indicating that there is a treasure to be found if Maria can solve it. Flashback to Conan/Agasa where they are trying to find out who posted those images, it's a Kudo Family freak (so basically a stalker) The kids and Ai are looking around the house for Maria using the clues, all they can find is a collapsed bookshelf. Genta/Mitsu lit up, but she is not there. They find another note though "Depending on you to keep things neat and tidy"
Hello, Maria—it's been awhile (well, at least since she wasn't just in the background (966)). Seems Gosho's going to follow the route that the case after Black Impact went (505–507/427–428).

Miami-Dade Police and the Miami-Dade State Attorney's Office have busted an illegal slaughterhouse run by a convicted drug trafficker, according to officials.
Investigators said they found 53-year-old Raul Fernandez, who goes by the name "Freaky," operating the slaughterhouse at 17734 NW 137th Avenue.
Undercover videos taken in December show people slaughtering the animals in an inhumane manner, the State Attorney's Office said. Witnesses told investigators the animals were beaten alive, dragged by a hook to the mouth, hit with sledge hammers to the head and drowned in boiling water.
"The horrors taking place in the property were pretty extreme," said Richard Cuoto with the Animal Recovery Mission.
Cuoto said ARM investigated the property for five months and found children as young as 8-years-old being forced to witness the illegal slaughters. He said the animals were in distress and often had little to no food or water.
The activity was also contaminating public water supplies due to improper runoff of animal blood, entrails and other waste, said Cuoto.
The animals were then sold illegally for human consumption, according to Cuoto.
Fernandez was charged with seven counts of animal cruelty, online jail records show.
