Cuisinart DCC-1200 Brew Central
My coffee maker has started leaking water when brewing. There will be at least one cup of water that ends up on the counter. Can I do something to stop this other than replace the coffee maker.

Essential Info:
Control is in the eye of the coffee drinker. For some, you can never have enough dials and buttons. The Cuisinart Brew Central is a sophisticated 12-cup coffee maker with numerous controls that enhance every phase of the brewing process. The machine has an LCD clock/timer to program brewing up to 24 hours in advance, as well as a 30 second "Brew Pause" feature to let you pour a cup while the a pot is brewing. It stands 14.25 H x 8 W x 8.5 D. The Cuisinart Brew Central is distinguished by its sleek design, featuring brushed stainless steel. It is available in Stainless Steel/Black or Black Metal.
A smart coffee maker gives you options where it counts. The Cuisinart Brew Central certainly delivers in this area. All of the features are easy to use, and many of them, starting with a 30 second "Brew Pause", which interrupts brewing so you can pour a cup, and a clock/timer, to program brewing up to 24 hours in advance, are increasingly standard features on coffee makers. It must be said that the controls are evenly spaced on the front of the machine, so it's clear at a glance what each button or dial operates. The machine can be set to brew 1- 4 cups, or a full 12-cup pot. If that isn't enough, there are also 3 settings to control hot plate temperature and a shut off function can be programmed to turn the machine off anytime after brewing, from zero minutes up to 4 hours. Another control light intelligently blinks to let you know when it's time to clean and decalcify the machine. The Cuisinart Brew Central also signals that brewing is complete with a series of 5 beeps. A retro looking flip switch is the main power control, adding a nice design accent to this machine's overall contemporary look.
Your reaction to this machine will probably depend on your feelings about control features. It may take some time to realize and utilize all of the options available. In terms of brewing, the performance of this model is considerably above average. A full 12-cup pot brews in under 12 minutes and the steam that gathers in the carafe shows you that the carafe's lid fits securely to retain heat. Maintaining this heat is easy with low, medium, and high hot plate settings, allowing you to fine-tune the final product to your liking. Programmable on and off options automate the brewing process, giving you less to worry about and more time to enjoy your coffee.
The Cuisinart Brew Central's construction is inspired by the industrial look of commercial equipment. The machine is solid and stylish with a rounded contoured look, slightly softer than some of the faux commercial designs of other home coffee makers. A single lid gives you access to the coffee filter, reservoir, and water filter. The cord storage area has a plastic piece that guides the cord into the back of the machine. This is a very solid and durable coffeemaker. The on/off switch has a unique retro design that gives the machine an extra ounce of style.
Attention to detail extends into the design of the carafe as well with the Brew Central. Some might argue there's no substitute for an insulated carafe, but the vented lid on the 12-cup glass carafe fits snugly to hold steam to retain heat and flavor. The carafe is clearly marked with a fluid level indicator. Its large plastic handle is ergonomically designed to provide a sure grip.
Hot Plate:
An adjustable hot plate. Who knew? The scratch resistant hot plate has a non-stick coating. More remarkably, the heat level of the hot plate can be controlled with 3 different settings to keep the brewed coffee at your desired temperature.
You won't have to guess how much water you've poured into the reservoir. The reservoir features a stepped and raised fluid level indicator with clearly visible numerals along the inside wall to help you measure water accurately. The reservoir is deep and easy to fill without spilling water.
Water Filtration:
For a machine with so many smart features, it's not too surprising that a water filter is included. The charcoal polybag is smaller than a teabag, but slightly more plump. It fits snugly in a compartment that is set in the reservoir.
Coffee Filter:
A goldtone filter is included with the Cuisinart Brew Central. You can use a #4 paper cone filter if you prefer.
The Cuisinart Brew Central comes with the basic accessories. A plastic coffee scoop, a permanent goldtone filter, and a charcoal polybag water filter are included along with coffee and water filter re-ordering forms.

After my latest cheap coffee maker died less than two months after purchase, I decided to invest in a more expensive and hopefully better one. I bought the Cuisinart model #DCC-1200 from a local store, who highly recommended this model as reliable and hard-working. "Almost everybody who works here, owns this model!" the salesperson told me. We've owned it about a year now, and we've been very happy with it. It makes one cup as easily as twelve. I like having an option between using the gold filter or paper filters. (I eventually realized we were using so much water to clean the gold filter after each use, we switched back to paper ones.) It has a gentle "beep beep beep" alert when your coffee is done brewing, which is handy. It has a separate option for turning on the burner heat on early, so even a one- or two-cup brew session stays hot. It doesn't look too dirty if you forget to clean it every few days. There are, however, a few design problems with it that seem so easy to fix, it's frustrating that Cuisinart hasn't addressed them. And they all deal with water. Pouring water into the reservoir is hard because the water only goes in on one "side", and the opening is narrow. Lots of spills. The carafe (a replacement carafe, by the way, costs almost half as much as the entire machine, with shipping—what's up with THAT??) drips when it pours. We previously had a Black and Decker model (an earlier model lasted five years, the replacement model is the one that lasted two months) had a no-drip carafe—which never dripped! How hard would it be for Cuisinart to do that?? The worst water issue, though, is that condensation from the brewing process collects on the lid of the machine. And when you raise the lid to replace the filter/add water, it all drips off OUTSIDE the carafe and onto your counter surface. If you don't stay on top of this (and with three young adults in our household, there are many things they don't stay on top of), you will end up with a sizeable puddle over time. Yuk. Why couldn't the lid hinge set INSIDE the reservoir, so the water just dripped back into it?? If these are the sort of things that would drive you mad, this is not the coffee maker for you. Otherwise, as I said, it's been a good, reliable product.

Brews one cup as nicely as twelve, gentle alarm when done brewing, burner pre-heat option keeps 1-4 cups hot.
Use protection if your counter surface won't tolerate standing water.

Improve the carafe so it doesn't drip. Make the water reservoir opening bigger. Align the lid differently so condensation drips back into the reservoir instead of onto the countertop.

mjackson ♦ Luann,
Thanks for the insightful review and I am glad you are happy. Thanks for getting involved in the community.
I am a coffee snob. This is the first coffeemaker that actually lives up to my standards! Coffee tastes rich and smooth. Others have commented that it's hard to use--I don't see the problem. We had a Krups before this (which lasted only 3 yrs and made mediocre coffee). I found that one harder to use b/c the so-called water level indicator was virtually unreadable and often got air bubbles in it so you couldn't see what the actual level was. I gave up fighting with that after the first couple of pots. So I've been used to using the carafe for measurement. I pour in the amount of water indicated on the carafe, then check the numbers in the back and add a little more.It's much easier to read than the ridiculous indicator on the Krups. I'm also used to sliding out the unit so I can fill it. No problem. It fits perfectly under my cabinets with lots of room to spare. The unit, including the carafe, feel study and well made. I love the retro look along with all the modern features. Best coffeemaker I've ever had, as well as the best looking. Hope it lasts a long time!

I am a huge coffee drinker and understand that my 2 pot a day habit wears on these machines. However, I have gone through 4 in the past 3 years, they just give up after a while and I pull out my old trusty standby. My daughter and her husband have the same machine, they've had it for 6 years and it's still fine. Caveat Emptor

After 4 years this coffee maker is still going strong. Occasionally the warmer turns off after the brew cycle, probably the age showing a little. Still brews a great cup of coffee. No other complaints other than the usual about the small opening for the water.

Morning life deteriorated rapidly when the Krups went kaput. Didn't quite like the styling or endurance of that unit, and resorted to using a mini Black & Yucker while researching a new Salvation Maker. I'm cheap, and found this Cuisinart to be just the deal for the price -- brews very tasty Lavazza, and I love the features. The water intake area is small, but I'm not so uncoordinated that this is an issue, even in the morning.

I hate to be the negative one, but my coffee maker has "bit the dust" after 2 1/2 years! I was spoiled with fast coffee making with a Bunn in the past. This coffee maker is SO slow. The cleaning mechanism on mine didn't work well at all. The brew time started around 15 minutes when we first got it, this week it's up to 90 minutes! When trying to clean the machine today, the water gushed out the bottom of the unit. I called the company and they're sending me a new machine (I pay for mailing both ways which is $20.) I'll probably give the new one away as a wedding gift!!

I did like the taste of the coffee. The water evidently brews hot for a good flavor.
Interestingly, I always used filtered water...I'd recommend that for all coffeemakers.

Even though I love this machine, I find the water resevoir aggravating. It is so small that it makes it difficult not to spill any water when pouring, and also, the design of the glass carafe could be more efficient. A water measuring pitcher included with this machine would help. Also, I let mine get dirty, and now, even though I have changed the filter and cleaned the machine, It no longer makes a full pot. Most of the water is lost through steam, which warped my wooden cabinet door above the machine. The machine seems to get dirty too easy. I am now shopping around for a different machine.

Don't let it get dirty. Faithfully clean it out every 2 weeks if you are a daily coffee drinker.

The coffee is fine. I don't like: (1) not having a water indicator on the outside (2) having a narrow opening in which to pour the water and (3) the plastic collar around the carafe that prevents water from completely draining when drying. I don't use the timer or heating element. All in all, not the best choice for me.

It makes good coffee.
Fill the carafe with water to the desired level and pour into the machine. Reading the marks inside the reservoir is a PITA.

A wonderful product, highly reliable. It makes consistently good coffee, heated at just the right temperature. The only annoying thing about it is when you make a 12 cup pot, the grounds splash back to the shower head requiring a bit more cleaning effort than usual. (A minor complaint!)
Less than 1 month
Consistent quality of coffee, ease of cleaning, ease of use, footprint and style.
Always check to make sure that the filter holder is firmly set after sliding the pot in to prevent overflow problems. It happened to me once because I lifted the pot as I was placing it on the hot plate and bumped the holder up without noticing it.
A wide variety
Distance between grounds and showerhead could be increased, reducing or eliminating splashback.

I am very happy with this machine. It makes great, consistent coffee and all of the features are useful. I guess the resevoir could have a larger opening but I don't think it is much of a draw back-especially if you use the carafe to fill it since it has a slim pour to it. I really like the warmer plate settings as my Braun never got hot enough for me.

mjackson ♦ Donna,
I unfortunately do not have enough information from the information you have given me. I would call Cuisinart as they have much more experience and they should be able to help. You can reach them at 1-800-726-0190. Thanks for asking.
I have owned this coffee maker for a week, and have followed the directions to set for automatic brewing, but I wake up to NO coffee. I can't figure out what I am doing wrong. Any suggestions? Thanks.
mjackson ♦ Sharon,
I am not sure why. I would get on the phone with Cuisinart when you have time and are trying to program it. They will be able to help. You can reach them at 1-800-726-0190. They provide the technical support for the products they make.
I am wondering if the Cuisinart Brew Central DCC 1200 you are selling is the brushed stainless series or the brushed metal series that is the newer finish. I really want the old stainless steel finish...and will purchase it from you if that is the one you carry. Thank-you!
Zack Smith Ashley, The DCC-1200 is the brushed stainless finish.
It still makes great coffee, but the noise when it starts and through the brewing cycle is the same as what we used to hear when it was finishing making the coffee.
mjackson ♦ Dolores,
I am not sure exactly what the problem is and certainly tough to tell by your description. Cuisinart does a great job with customer support and they prefer to do all of their own. I would give them a call 1-800-726-0190. They will be glad to help you.

We have a Cuisinart Brew Central Coffeemaker DCC 1200.
When plugged in all the function lights come on, but no functions actually occur; in other words the brewing cycle doesn't start.
How can we resolve this issue?
mjackson ♦ Tim,
I am sorry about your machine. I am not sure what exactly the problem is but I do know who can help. If you call Cuisinart they prefer to do all of their own technical support and do a great job with it. Here is the number to contact them and I am sure you will get some answers. 1-800-726-0190
I'm looking for a coffee brewer that will make a 6 oz or more per cup serving, 10 cup or more capasity.
with out costing an arm & leg
thank you mike g.
TechMilanoItalia Mike, depending on what features you want, you can get machines as low as $59.99 for a simple drip machine that does over 10 cups. But you may want to compare the different machines and features starting here: http://www.wholelattelove.com/coffee_makers.cfm Please feel free to contact our knowledgeable Sales Team for further assistance. =)
The filter basket becomes backed up with water and does not release into carafe.I tried with only paper filter and then only gold tone basket. That is not the problem. Also tried with just water- so I know it is not the type of coffee grind.
Whole Latte Love Staff My first recommendation would be to make sure the lid is attached to the carafe properly - the top of this lid presses up against a spring-loaded stopper in the filter holder to allow your coffee to drip through. In addition, I would verify that the filter holder is seated properly in the machine is - down as far as it goes - so that the stopper is able to be pressed by the lid. If youve tried these things and are still experiencing a problem, I would recommend contacting Cuisinart directly for further assistance. They can be reached by phone at 800-726-0190.
It is about our 12 cup Cuisinart coffee maker. Although it makes wonderful coffee, it makes a horrendous amout of steam. I've used a commercial cleaner and replaced the filter. Is there anything else we can try?
Whole Latte Love Staff Your problem could be as simple as a loose tube connection inside the machine. Since Cuisinart handles all of their own troubleshooting and repair issues, I would recommend contacting them directly at 1-800-726-0190. They will be able to correctly idagnose the problem and give you a quick solution.
My coffee will not stay hot. The heater goes off as soon as my coffee brews. I've checked the owner's manual and there doesn't seem to be a troubleshooting guide.
Whole Latte Love Staff The Brew Central has a programmable auto shut-off feature that can be set to turn off the machine anywhere from 0 minutes to 4 hours after brewing. It sounds like you may have accidentally set it to 0 minutes. Check your user manual for instructions on how to reset the auto shut-off time to a time you find more appropriate. If youve tried this and continue to have problems, I would recommend contacting Cuisinart directly at 800-726-0190.
We moved to China and the power is 220v here. Can I get it for 220v instead of 110v?
Whole Latte Love Staff Unfortuately, we do not carry this or any other coffee maker in a 220v model. I would recommend contacting Cuisinart directly at 800-726-0190 to see if they currently produce this model in that voltage.

Anyways, I also searched offsite, and someone raised this question on the sickbeard code page but never received an answer here: http://code.google.com/p/sickbeard/wiki/PostProcessing
I can't link to the comment directly so I'll quote it here
Could the result of the script be somewhat shortened ?
The "Processing succeeded for X:\YYYYYYYYYYYYY\ZZZZZZZZZZ\AAAAAAA\Someshow.S03E23?.Titletitle.moretitle.720p.WEB-DL.DD5.1.H.264-KiNGS\verylongfilename"
Bit in the second column of the sabnzbd history is taking up a whole lot of screen real estate , resulting in history entries being twice as high as before.
Can this be helped by making the output of the script smaller ? Or should the makers of sabnzbd be asked to include an option to not show it ?
Thnx in advance.
I have a similar question, from my understanding from this page: http://wiki.sabnzbd.org/user-scripts
The console output of the script is captured by SABnzbd and is saved in the so called "Script Log": to see that log, in the History overview, click on the "More" after the green text on the right hand side .
The file will be added to the (optional) notification email and can be examined in the History page.
sab is the one that captures the output and produces that green text next to a history item, so my question is can this be turned off or at least truncated to the point where the items on the left won't have an absurd amount of space between them? I know it may sound trivial but it's much more difficult to read the history items (it gives me nausea/I may possibly have ADD I'm not sure), and I don't really have a use for the script logging feature Thanks for any help.

Ratings: 'American Idol' Performance Finale Grows; 'Modern Family' Inches Up for Win
May, 16, 2013 9:22 am | Comments On #American Idol, Arrow, Modern Family, ratings, So You Think You Can Dance, Supernatural, TelevisionFox's "American Idol" and "So You Think You Can Dance" both had significant growth and pushed the network to an overall win Wednesday night, but ABC's "Modern Family" enjoyed a modest ratings climb that made it the night's top-rated program, according to preliminary numbers.
Fox took first place in both the advertiser-sought 18-49 demographic with a 2.6 rating/8 share, and in total viewers with 9.3 million. The "American Idol" performance finale at 8 p.m. posted a 2.9/10 -- up slightly from the 2.8/8 that last Wednesday's two-hour episode and a 16 percent jump from the common 8-9 p.m. hour that the two episodes shared.

Sony, which owns "Breaking Bad," has already called Univision to express its surprise and disappointment that the largest Spanish-language network would announce the new show, which would be called "Metastasis," as part of its lineup for next year.
Sony has shot an internal pilot for Latin American markets, which could be the first of many foreign-language "Breaking Bad" adaptations. But Sony is in talks with several potential partners, and Univision is only one of them, a person at Sony who is familiar with the situation told TheWrap.
"We have made a pilot for a Spanish version of Breaking Bad," the person...

While it could just be a coincidence, "American Idol" grew solidly on Thursday night, following news that longtime judge Jackson is leaving the show after this season. Meanwhile, CBS's "The Big Bang Theory" took the night's top ratings, helping to propel the network to an overall win.
CBS was first in both the advertiser-sought 18-49 demographic with a 2.7/8 and in total viewers with 12.1 million. "The Big Bang Theory" at 8 was the night's top-rated show despite a minor decline from last week, posting a 4.6/16, and was also the night's most-watched show with 15.7 million total viewers. The "Two and a Half Men" season finale at 8:30 grew slightly to a 3.4/11 and took 12.6 million total viewers. "...

alexalou wrote:The only reason we did not end up with a Shiba, but a German Shepherd instead is because of one key feature. Aggressiveness. Obviously it depends on how much you socialize the dog. Any dog can become aggressive if put in the wrong environment, however, all the breeders we talked to said the same thing- they had to keep their females separated. Now, I'm not saying that all Shiba's are this way, but we didn't want to take the chance of having a puppy grow up, and fight to the death with out other female dog. If it was just our male, then we probably would have gotten one.
They are absolutely gorgeous dogs, (love their tails!) but you must make sure you can handle one! But like I said, i haven't had any experience with one, just a lot of research. I hope everything works out great for you and your dog!! If you're still looking, don't forget to look at other breeds as well. I was very close minded when looking for a dog. I feel I could have made a better decision if I had looked at all my choices. Good luck!!

According to Gaming Director, Charlie Brown, "The vehicle's license plates had been distorted.'' The three armed men took an undetermined amount of cash and jewelry from the casino. The men were dressed in dark coveralls and dark ski masks. ' 'No one had been injured during the robbery," Brown also stated, "Thatthe casino is open for business as usual." The Palace Bingo & Casino is located 2 miles northwest of Cass Lake. Cass County Authorities, along with Cass Lake Police and Bureau of Criminal Apprehensionare investigatingthe robbery. Patient confidentiality violations and denial of services alleged atthe Indian Health Board By Gary Blair It appears the problems now being exposed at the Minneapolis Indian Health Board (MB) involve more than employee racial discrimination, financial mismanagement and excessive staff salaries. This week the PRESS learned that patient confidentially is being violated and clients are being refused services. On September 24,1993, the PRESS contained an article entitled ' 'Christmas comesearly atthe Indian Health Board: Hand says, "She'll take the money with her..." The article described a community feast and giveaway sponsedby IHB's executive director, Norrine Smith, to help build support for her troubled administration. The day this article appeared, staff at the clinic reported that Norine Smith, requested and obtained the medical records of the PRESS reporter who wrote the article. In it, a conversation between Virginia Schuster, the medical clinic's administrator, and two PRESS reporters was mentioned. What was not mentioned is that the writer told Ms. Schuster that he had been a client of IHBand IHB staff say it was SchusterwhoaccompaniedSmithinto the records room when she asked for the confidential medcial charts. Clinic staff say Smith has requested client and clinic staff records before. Records that are required by state and federal law to be kept confidential unless the written permission of the client is obtained. The PRESS learned on Tuesday of this week that the intake count at IHB has been down for sometime. In fact, the client count has dropped off so dramatically that the clinic's doctors have been counting talks with groups of children to help increase their client encounter numbers. These numbers are used by IHB to request funds from the U. S.Department of Public Health Service. Problems with maintaining confidentiality has been cited as one of the reasons for the decline. In addition, some former clients of IHB report to have been treated with little respect or courtesy. They describe being asked by staff to state out loud the reason for their visit, even when there are other people near, and being shown contempt when they try to maintain their privacy. Other problems recently brought out by staff and community members include the inflexibility and inefficiency ofthe WIC (Women with Infants and Children) program which is a government sponsored nutrition program for children under six years of age. Reportedly, mothers who come to the clinic to utilize the WIC program are sometimes turned away because they don't have an appointment to see the doctor. They are told,' "The doctors can't see you, Smith/See Page 5 Two Indian gaming operations deny infiltration efforts by Mafia By Brad Swenson Bemidji Pioneer Officials with two American Indian gaming operations in Minnesota vehemently deny infiltration efforts by the Mafia, and charge the media with responsible reporting of the industry. The officials, part of a panel discussion on Indian gaming last week at the Associated Press managing Editor's annual convention, said American Indian gaming is closely scrutinized by the FBI and by the states. "Because this is the biggest economic tool we have, why wouldwe messitup?" asked Leonard Prescott, president of Mystic Lake Casino, a tribally run operation by the Mdewakaton tribe. "As a public company, we are under a lot of scrutiny," said Thomas Brosig, president of Grand Casinos Inc., the management firm hired by the Mille Lacs BandofChippewa to runits gaming operations. "For our executive staff, the dossier goes back to their 21st birthday. Our company is clean." American Indian gaming is governed by the federal Indian Gaming Act and by compacts entered into by tribes and state governments. "There is more speculation of mob crime because of the history of Las Vegas," Prescott said. "There are assumptions thatsinceithappened there, so it could happen in Indian country." Paul Demain-Oshscabewis, president and managing editor of anauonal Indian newspaper and president ofthe native American Journalists Association, said, "the greatest protection... is to make sure youhavetribalmembersintheoperation and trained for upper management." "In lOyears, the FBIhas not been able to find organized crime on reservations in Minnesota," Prescott said. Both Prescott and Brosig said Minnesota has strong controls on Indian gaming, such as random monitoring of video gaming machines. "We also have our own regulatory abilities," Prescott said.. "There are lots of internal controls." With continuing interest of the Gaming/See Page 5 Another IHB employee files charges By Delvin Cree The PRESS learned this week that there will be additional charges of discrimination filed with the State of Minnesota Human Rights Department by previous an employee ofthe Minneapolis Indian Health Board. The charges are being brought against Norine Smith, Executive Director of IHB, and IHB's Board of Directors. Twenty-two-year-old Winona Spaulding, who worked at the Health Board for one year andeight months as a secretary in the Mental Health Unit, said that she recieved a notice on September 13, 1993, stating that her position was no longer needed at the Health Board. According to Spaulding, the termination was a measure of retaliation by Norine Smith. Spaulding stated, "I know I was being retaliated against because my mother had previously filed charges of discrimination against Norine." She explained that her mother, Diana Sanders, worked at IHB for two years and was let go in December 1992. Spaulding went on to explain that the reason she and her mother were treated differently by Smith was because they are part African American. Her mother is half Native American and half African American. She included this in the report to the State Human Rights Department. In one incident, Spaulding reported Norine had put together a feast for Martin Luther King Day in January of 1992. She said,' 'Me and my mom were standing in line at the feast and Norine came up and told us because were black we should go to the front of the line. Then she pulled me and my mom to the front." Spaulding said that she did not attend the feast this year because of being singled out by Norine last year. The PRESS also talked to Diana Saunders. She said that during her tenure at the Health Board she was harrassed and intimidated by Norine Smith. "After I spoke up and defended myself against Norine, I was continuously harrassed and was put on probation numerous times for no good reason," she recalls. She also reported being humiliated by the incident at the Martin Luther King Day feast. "Even after that," Charges/See Page 4 Management, financial problems dominate IHB board meeting By Bill Lawrence The regularly scheduled meeting of the Indian Health Board of Minneapolis Board of Directors was held Monday, September 27, at the Bloomington Holiday Inn. The meeting was dominated by the Board's attempt to getahandleon the financial and management problems recently reported in the local media. Board members present were: Dr. Thorson, Patrick Lundy, Carol Marquez- Baines, Paul Day, BUI LaRoque, John Smith, and board chariperson Charlotte Roberts. Member Douglass Fairbanks was absent. Hostilities were apparent even before the meeting began as board members appeared to be surprised^ that the agenda sent to them by the executive director referred to the meeting as a board training session rather than the previously scheduled board retreat. In addition, most ofthe board members were annoyed that the executive director, Norine Smith, had not consulted with them, particularly with chairperson Charlotte Roberts, in preparing the agenda. The meeting, which lasted eight hours, began with discussion of a response to last week's NAP article describing IHB's financial situation. NeilLapidus, ofthe C.P. A. firmLurie, Besikof, Lapidus & Co., took issue with NAP's position that the financial status of IHB had deteriorated over the last three years. He presented the net results of IHB's status over a five year period which improved the picture somewhat. However, it still didn't explain the downward trend in net worth over the last three years so that in 1992 IHB ended up in the red (expenses greater than revenues) which, in our opinion, reflects a deteriorating financial condition. Mr. Lapidus continued his explanation by stating that the deficit reported in the financial audit on file at the Attorney General's office was covered by a $100,000 transfer of funds. What he failed to say was from which account this $100,000 came from. He also failed to explain why an incomplete financial audit report was filed with the Attorney General's office. In response to the allegation in the NAP article that the IRS form 990s were submitted to the Attorney General's office unsigned, Lapidus told the board that the 990s were not required to be signed. He couldn't verify whether the copies sent to the IRS were signed or not. He said he assumed they were because he hadn 't hear anything to the contrary. Despite this explanation, the fact remains that an incomplete audit report was filed with the Attorney General's office, an audit report that is missing 26 pages of opinions on compliance, internal controls, and detailedbreakdown of expenses. This, coupled with the unsigned 990s, does not easily lend itself to the appearance of propriety. Following the financial discussion, the board was directed through a session on communication by a professional consultant from Rosemount, Inc.

Grave Robbing is alive and well in the North By Mel Rasmussen It was a cold, windy, rainy day and it seemed that the ancestors and spirits were crying. The site is a large burial mound near Big Falls, Minnesota and it had been violated by person(s) unknown. Down through the top and through the sides were fresh signs of digging where someone had been excavating. What they were seeking were the remains and funerary relics ofNative Americans buried there. To approach this site and see this desecration brought feelings of rage and anger and a very sick gut wrenching feeling within ones inner self and heart. Whether it be anthropologists, archaeologists or just plain grave robbers the feelings would be the same as you saw your heritage and ancestry torn apart for no reason at all. The sanctity of these ancestors had been violated and it was up to a small group of individuals to try and repair this circle of sanctity for their spirits. Earl Sargent of the Minnesota Indian Affairs Council has been dealing with this issue for over twenty years and as he simply put it that it was not natural for the human race to allowthis type of desecration ofburial grounds or cemeteries. But there are those who will descend to these depths of depravity for monetary gain. Sargent had brought a crew of people together to seal up these diggings and have an elder bless the remains and release these disturbed spirits. Mr. Paul Little of the Fort Totten Reservation had been brought here to say the prayers and provide the cleansing ofthe site and the recovery ofthe dignity of these ancestors. Little is the current Cultural Heritage Director for the Fort Totten Reservation. He preserves the history and cultural treasures of the tribe and works hand in hand with the Tribe, State and National Park Service. He stated that there is not enough funding out there for the continuance of these repatriation projects but somehow he has been able to succeed in continuing on with this project. Other team members at this reburial procedure included four members of the All Nations Cultural Resource Preservation group representative and David Sogard, General Counsel for Minnkota Power Cooperative. The Minnkota representative was present as the burial mound is located on the power company right of way. Sogard indicated that the company was very concerned about this grave desecration and wanted to help in whatever way possible to correct this desecration. As the rain poured and the wind blew Little with the help ofthe group gathered to smudge the burial mound and sing the songs and say the prayers for these violated spirits and their final resting place. Little talked about the desecration and told those present that the individuals who did this will have to pay the price for it. He stated that these individuals will suffer in the future for this desecration and the Creator would deal with them in his own fashion. After the ceremonies were finished the All Nations crew proceeded to fill in the tunnels and holes that had been dug into the mound. They used over ten yards of fill that had been provided by Minnkota Power. The purpose of the fill is to discourage any further vandalism and disturbances to the specific burial mound. David Sogard was asked how his company was handling other burial sites on their right of way properties. He stated that the company wasn't aware of any other sites and had only been told of this one approximately one year ago. The company didn't know that the site existed and contacted Earl Sargent about the mound and went with him to find out what was occurring. Sogard was then questioned about the companies activities in identifying any further •mounds. Sogard stated that they are now aware of these issues and will handle them as they arise on an individual basis. He also stated that a Minnkota area lineman that travels through this territory will report any disturbances at this site. Sogard felt that as he looked around he felt a loss in how to best protect these mounds. He stated that he wasn't sure of how you would do this. When asked if there was any thought of coordinating local law enforcement and Minnesota Department ofNatural Resource and seeking their help he stated that he had not thought of this option yet. Sogard stated that as far as he knew there has been no such coordination efforts whatsoever.

Denver City Man Shot Dead After Walking in on Burglary in Roswell, NM
By: Dylan Brooks
Updated: December 12, 2012
Roswell (NM) Police say that Saul Sanchez was in Roswell for a funeral when the incident occurred.
Sanchez was walking to the home of the friend he was staying with in the 1500 block of West 3rd Street when he found a burglar in the home around 2 PM on December 11th.
Police say that Sanchez confronted the burglar, but the burglar shot him dead.
Detectives say that the burglar is about 6' feet tall and he was wearing a face mask and hoodie.
Anyone with information on this incident should call Roswell Police at (575) 624-6770.
The following is a press release from Roswell Police about this incident:
Detectives from the Roswell Police Department are actively investigating a burglary which was interrupted, leaving a man dead. The incident occurred Tuesday, December 11th, at approximately 2:04 p.m. on the 1500 block of West 3rd.
A man identified as Saul Sanchez from Denver City, Texas was staying at a friend's house. Mr. Sanchez had been in Roswell to attend a funeral. Mr. Sanchez walked into the house he was staying at and found a male subject inside the residence attempting to steal various items. When Mr. Sanchez confronted the male subject, the male subject shot and killed Mr. Saul Sanchez.
The Roswell Police Department sends its deepest condolences to the family and friends of Mr. Saul Sanchez.
Currently the only information RPD Detectives have regarding the suspect is he is approximately 6' tall and was concealing his identity with a face mask and hoodie.
Although some people would like to believe this incident is exactly like other incidents, this one is unique. Burglaries occur each day. Sadly, the burglary which happened yesterday ended tragically.
The Roswell Police remind citizens to be cautious and ensure all doors are locked. Citizens should not be scared, but informed and aware of surroundings.
The RPD would like to address information being passed around on social media. The information on social media (Facebook) is uncorroborated. If an individual has information regarding the burglary, contact the Roswell Police Department, or Crime Stoppers. Certain information posted on social media could be detrimental to the case. Again, Police strongly suggest anyone with information regarding the incident to contact the RPD (575-624-6770), or Crime Stoppers (1-888-594-8477) immediately. Crime Stoppers will pay $1,000.00 reward to anyone who has information leading to an arrest.

Brand: Fastline Performance
Maven Countersunk Shift Knob by Fastline Performance (Stainless/Limited Metallic Gun), Honda/Acura Manual Transmission 10x1.5
Every detail of the Maven Shift Knob has been meticulously examined and engineered to achieve the maximum look, feel, and effect. The material, shape, weight, height, and finish were all painstakingly scrutinized in realizing the final design.
Materials – On the stainless knob, a custom alloy of medical-grade stainless steel provides superior corrosion and tarnish resistance. The Maven Shift Knob will maintain it's luster throughout the life of your car. The aluminum knob has the same machined shape with a black anodized finish to perfectly compliment the Fastline Performance Shifter, which the aluminum knob was specifically intended to sit on top of.
Weight – Precision balanced to 472g (1.04lbs), the Maven Shift Knob is exactly twice the weight of the factory Acura unit. Careful consideration was made to ensure the majority of the Shift Knob's mass be placed at the very top to provide an incredibly smooth feel while shifting.
Height – The standard Maven knob sits lower than a standard shift knob, but many customers prefer the shortness of throw provided with a countersunk knob. We counter-bore the already timeless Maven Mark One or Mark Two to sit 1/2" lower than stock providing the look and feel demanded by street-sports drivers.
Finish – Machined to a satin finish, the Maven Shift Knob maintains a micro-texture that ensures a solid grip without being abrasive.

The second time was the charm for a settlement in a class action alleging that law school students paid too much for BAR/BRI bar review preparatory course materials after West Publishing Corp. and Kaplan Inc. conspired to monopolize the market.
A fresh agreement provides for a payment of $9.5 million in cash. Lawyers told U.S. District Judge Manuel Real in Los Angeles, who rejected a previous settlement in 2011, that they would file documents by March 18 seeking preliminary approval of the new deal.
Real scheduled a hearing for April 15.
Plaintiffs attorney Alan Harris, a partner at Los Angeles-based Harris & Ruble, did not return a call for comment. John Shaughnessy, a spokesman for West's parent corporation, Thomson Reuters Corp., and Kaplan spokeswoman Carina Wong did not respond to requests for comment.
The case, filed on February 6, 2008, is distinct from a $49 million class settlement against West and Kaplan Inc. that Real approved in 2007. That case, filed in 2005, involved a class of 300,000 students who claimed they were overcharged by about $1,000 for the preparatory course for the Law School Aptitude Test after West and Kaplan conspired to monopolize the market in violation of the Sherman Act. Under that settlement, which involved purchases from 1997 and 2006, each student was to receive $125.
Both cases were filed by Eliot Disner, who was ousted from his former firm, McGuireWoods, after objecting to the first settlement. Disner died in 2009. On August 10, the U.S. Court of Appeal for the Ninth Circuit upheld Real's decision to deny attorney fees to McGuireWoods for the older case, citing the firm's "egregious" ethical violation in failing to disclose to class members that incentive awards based on the settlement's value would go to named plaintiffs.
The newer case, filed on behalf of two law school graduates who alleged they overpaid for their BAR/BRI courses and three law students who expected to take the bar exam in 2008 and 2009, involves those who purchased the courses as of August 1, 2006. The suit, which also levels antitrust allegations, seeks certification of a class of individuals who have paid for a BAR/BRI course and another of law students who anticipate purchasing the course. The potential class initially was estimated to be more than 120,000.
On April 7, 2008, Real dismissed the case; the plaintiffs appealed to the Ninth Circuit, which heard oral arguments on September 30, 2009. The case returned to Real's courtroom, however, when both sides reached a settlement.
Real preliminarily approved that deal on March 21, 2011. But on June 20 of that year, he rejected the settlement after objectors raised concerns that Kaplan's portion of the deal involved coupons. Under the initial deal, West would have paid $5.29 million in cash and Kaplan would have provided discount certificates worth $150 each toward the purchase of future course materials.
Real sent the case back to the Ninth Circuit. On November 7, 2011, that court reversed his dismissal order and referred the case to mediation.
On January 14, lawyers in the case told the Ninth Circuit they had reached a new settlement, which they outlined in court documents on March 7.

Has any research been done on this? My baby won't take those formulas and I am torn on what to do. Is breast-feeding detrimental in this case or will he outgrow it eventually in six months or a year?

Every milestone -- from when your baby first holds up her sweet little head to when she speaks her first word -- is thrilling. These moments aren't just exciting and fun; they're also markers that can clue you in to your baby's development. Most parents already know to look for the much-lauded ones, like rolling over and walking. But of the multitude of milestones cited by the American Academy of Pediatrics, some are considered more significant. Here, 10 milestones that are worth paying a little extra attention to during your child's first two years:
