It's March, the first day of spring! This is a fresh month to shed your worries and begin anew. Here are three cool events that will keep in a wonderful mood this weekend.
It's March, the first day of spring! This is a fresh month to shed your worries and begin anew. Here are three cool events that will keep in a wonderful mood this weekend.
1. Winterthur reopens for 2013 season
Today, Winterthur Museum, Garden and Library will welcome the arrival of spring, as the 1,000-acre garden and estate reopens to the public for the 2013 season with new attractions, including its newly renovated Tour Reception Area.
On the March Bank, visitors will be greeted by lovely flowers that include waving white snowdrops (Galanthus) and cheery yellow winter aconites (Eranthis hyemalis). On the nearby east terrace, thousands of "tommies" (Crocus tommasinianus) will illuminate the courtyard in a symphony of lavender. The fragrant yellow blossoms of witch-hazels will also serve as another reminder that the cold frost of winter has yielded to the warm thaw of spring. Garden tram tours will be available for the enjoyment of guests — weather permitting. And the Enchanted Woods, a fairy-tale garden for children, will be ready to charm and entertain youngsters.
Friday will also mark the beginning of ticket sales for Winterthur's 35th annual Point-to-Point event, a day of elite horse racing held on May 5.
Winterthur's general admission is honored for two consecutive days and includes a tour of some of the most notable spaces in Winterthur's 175-room house as well as: access to the Winterthur garden and galleries, special exhibitions, a narrated tram tour and the Campbell collection of soup tureens, and the Enchanted Woods children's garden.
WHAT Reopening of Winterthur for 2013 season
WHEN 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. (library hours) and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. (museum and garden hours) on Friday, March 1; hours of operation are 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. (library hours) Monday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. (museum and garden hours) Tuesday through Sunday
WHERE Winterthur Museum, Garden and Library, 5105 Kennett Pike, Wilmington
COST General admission is $18 adult; $16 senior citizen; $16 student (with valid ID); $5 children (ages 2-11); free for infants (under 2) and members
INFO winterthur.org or 888-4600
2. Remarkable duo to gig in Arden
Ballake Sissoko and Vincent Segal are two gifted instrumentalists who've found a way to make global chamber music for a 21st century audience, and you can see for yourself during their Delaware debut at the Arden Gild Hall on Saturday.
"Chamber Music" is a collaborative album, released in 2009, between Sissoko, a Malian who plays the kora, a traditional lute-harp instrument from his native home Mali, and Vincent Segal, a French cellist who plays for the trip-hop band Bumcello.
The album has distinguished itself as one of the most elegant and beautiful recordings of world music in recent years. At a time when cross-cultural music has tended toward highly-caffeinated electric pop and dance music, Sissoko and Segal remind us that there's room — and maybe even a need — for quieter, more refined world music.
WHAT Ballake Sissoko and Vincent Segal
WHEN 8 p.m. Saturday, March 2
WHERE Arden Gild Hall, 2126 The Highway, Arden
COST $20 ($21.69 with service fee)
INFO ardenconcerts.com or 475-3126

WIEP is a juried exhibition presented by the Delaware Photographic Society, based in Hockessin.

Posted on September 11, 2009
I suppose you think working this Book Fair is all reading books and munching peach tart. Well, as previously noted, there are a million stories in the big city. Some sad ones I heard or overheard at the Jully Book Fair can draw tears in just a sentence or two.
I used to buy books, but now I have a Kindle.
I read all of those when I was in junior high school: disgusting stuff, really. I'm more mature now. Only fifty cents? I'll take 'em!
I left my reading glasses at home!
No, thank you. Every time I buy a book I have to get rid of one I already have.
I really don't understand why you need to READ all the time!
Do you also sell shelving space for the stuff I buy?
That author came out for the wrong candidate last year and now my wife won't have his books in the house.
No, go ahead and buy it. We don't need new storm windows this fall.
My dad had this book but my brother threw it away. "How was I supposed to know you wanted it?" he said.
Can I pay for all these but leave half of them here until next week, so my husband doesn't know how many I bought?
Oh, why can't you have a sale like this every weekend?

Spanning over 49' sq.--nearly 5x the size of the original--this is the world's largest wall-mounted Scrabble game. One of only nine in existence, it is handmade by John Kahn, renowned mixed media artist and creator of colossal pop art. Meticulously constructed from Russian birch plywood, the 3/4"-deep back board is overlaid with the classic purple-hued background of the original game, laminated with a .023-gauge galvanized steel sheet, and covered by a heavy vinyl print of the playing board which is protected by a satin laminate. Bordered by a 3/4" x 2 1/2" birch frame that wraps from the front to the back, the board attaches to a wall with included hardware. The two 6' H x 5 5/8" W x 7" D birch tile racks are grooved and lined with felt, each accepting 50 of the included 100 tiles. Made from a 3/8" x 5/16" rare earth magnet sandwiched between two pieces of birch plywood, each 4 3/8" sq. x 3/8" thick tile's letter is sandblasted to a depth of 1/64", lacquered in black, sanded, and clear-coated to a finish that will last for generations. Board and racks: 88 1/2" H x 99 1/4" W x 7" D. (12 3/4 lbs.)

There are companies that stress test engines for OEM's. One of these companies has been testing the N20 apparently. The advice given is not to go beyond Stage 2 on the N20 which means a slightly more aggressive tune on the factory turbocharger. Why? The N20 head apparently cracks at around 331 pound-feet of torque. That is not exactly a whole lot of torque in the turbo tuning game especially considering the motor puts out an underrated 258 pound-feet from the factory.
Apparently the engine is just running very hot and multiple heat cycles are creating problems. BMW behind the scenes is supposedly trying to correct the issue. For whatever reason BMW seems to have a reputation for problems with new motors. S54 bearings, S65 bearings, and the next BMW new motor issue looks to be the N20 head cracking.
The story is that one of the lead designers and engineers for the N20 was flown out to the USA to inspect the findings for himself. It is doubtful BMW would do that unless there was something of substance to this. This same company also apparently tested other BMW motors including turbo motors such as the N54 and N55 when they were new and they did not run into these head issues.
So what is going to happen? Well, right now it is not recommended for N20 owners to push their motors too far which they can't anyway as there are not aftermarket turbo options out just yet. BMW will likely resolve the problem with a new head which will mean for those with the N20 there will either be a recall or there will be a BMW part number option to get the new head. We will have to wait and see what happens but N20 owners should be aware of the potential issue especially if intending to tune as BMW is unlikely to say anything until they have to.

Acrochordons are harmless skin growths that appear to hang off the skin. They are more commonly known as skin tags.
Skin tags consist of collagen fibers and blood vessels that are surrounded by a thin layer of skin. It is not clear what causes them.
Risk Factors
Factors that increase your risk of getting skin tags include:
- Skin chafing and irritation
- Pregnancy
- Acromegaly
- Human papillomavirus (HPV)
- Obesity
- Insulin resistance
- Type 2 diabetes
Skin tags usually appear as flesh-colored skin growths. They are generally small, but can range in size from 1 millimeter to 5 centimeters in diameter. They are often found in folds of the skin, typically in arm pit, neck, or groin. They don't cause symptoms, even after they appear.
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. Most acrochordons can be diagnosed without invasive tests. In some cases, a skin biopsy may be necessary to rule out other skin conditions.
Most of the time, no treatment is needed and the skin tags can be monitored. The skin tags should be removed if they are bothering you, or if your doctor is concerned about a different skin condition.
Removal options include the following:
- Cryosurgery
- Surgical removal
- Electrosurgery
- Ligation

"Room Darkening Blinds"
By I love blinds from Houston, TX
These are FANTASTIC!! I did not install myself, so I can't say how hard they were to install, but they do the job that I intended which is to keep the hot evening sun out of the room. Also, gives more space in the room than traditional curtains. I've recommended to all my friends with sliding glass doors--these are simply great!View this product

Boston: The face of American resolve
April 17. 2013 12:52AM
The City of Boston cannot be brought to its knees by sword, cannon or bomb, or by the taste of them all, given to spread fear among a people who know it not.
History's pages are scattered here and there with fools who believed they could rattle sabers or unleash brutal men or kill random innocents and thus strike terror into the stout heart of New England's greatest city.
Some of their memories are tough to recall. Gov. Thomas Hutchinson, Gen. Thomas Gage, King George III and a host of British petty tyrants, a serial killer, gangsters and mafiosi, and now a pathetic, passive murderer of children and women. The city outlived and outgrew them all before, as it always will.
Boston bow to the threats and blows of little men who harbor little boys' delusions of power and dominance? Boston? Never.
On Tuesday, President Obama said of this great nation, "the American people refuse to be terrorized." And the defiant face that expresses this refusal is the face of Boston.
Boston will never be terrorized. Its spirit disallows the possibility. Whether the world eventually comes to understand this truth, it is truth nonetheless. The people of Boston have proven it for almost four centuries. They will prove it for centuries more.

TUSCALOOSA | Mal Moore has stepped down as athletics director at the University of Alabama.
TUSCALOOSA | Mal Moore, whose legacy at the University of Alabama spans half a century and who is connected to many of the all-time great figures in Crimson Tide football history, has decided to step down as athletics director.
UA announced Moore's decision Wednesday, saying that he will become a special assistant to UA President Judy Bonner.
UA officials said they will work "as quickly as possible" to find a replacement for Moore, who has overseen the Crimson Tide athletics program for nearly 14 years.
Moore, 73, played football at Alabama under the late Paul. W. "Bear" Bryant, and later served as a longtime assistant coach under Bryant. He become UA's director of athletics in November 1999.
He has been hospitalized since March 11 with a pulmonary condition.
Alabama head football coach Nick Saban, speaking to reporters after a Wednesday spring practice session, had high praise for Moore, who hired him away from the NFL's Miami Dolphins in 2007.
"Mal has really become a good friend and somebody that I have a tremendous amount of respect for," Saban said. "I'm happy for him. I'll be most happy for him if he can get healthy and be around here with us. But I'm gonna miss him."
Moore was originally admitted to Brookwood Hospital in Birmingham, but was later transported to Duke University Medical Center in Durham, N.C. Last Friday, UA sent out a news release that said Moore was "resting comfortably" and undergoing tests at the North Carolina hospital, but the school has not released any information on his condition since.
"As many of you may know, due to factors related to my health, I am at a point that I can no longer fulfill my duties as athletics director in the true championship manner the position requires," Moore said in a statement released by UA. "While I have to focus on my health issue, I look forward to maintaining an ongoing working relationship with this great university as special assistant to Dr. Bonner. I know I can count on each of you to continue your unequaled support for me and the University of Alabama.
"I cannot adequately express what the university means to me. It has been a part of my life for more than 50 years, and I feel honored to have served the Crimson Tide as a player, coach and administrator. I am so appreciative of the university administration, coaches, staff, student-athletes and fans who have made my tenure as director so very meaningful, memorable and special."
Saban, who has won three national titles at UA, said that Moore's support has been a key element in his program's winning ways.
"He certainly deserves a tremendous amount of credit for any
success that we have had because of the way that he sets the table and
has served us so well," Saban said. "I think most things that you would stand here and look around here and see, he's had some hand in making all the athletic facilities what they are ... first class in so many ways. More than that, he's a class gentleman, probably as fine as you'll ever meet, and he's certainly been a good friend, and his
support has certainly been appreciated."
In all, Moore has earned 10 football national championship rings as a player, coach and administrator.
"Mal Moore is Crimson Tide sports," Bonner said in a release. "During his tenure as athletics director, our student athletes have experienced unprecedented success in every aspect of their careers at UA, on the field of play and in the classroom. His contributions to UA athletics on every level are unsurpassed. And, while he will no longer be in charge of day-to-day operations, I am so pleased that we will continue to be able to rely on his wisdom and expertise going forward."
Saban said he is confident that UA's administration will pick a worthy successor to Moore.
"I know you're going to ask who's going to be the next athletic
director, and I'm going to tell you that's not my decision," Saban told reporters after practice Wednesday.
"We have really, really good people here, chancellors, presidents, other people in the athletic department, people on the board, who I have every
faith, trust and confidence they will make an outstanding decision as far
what's best for the University of Alabama," he said.
"My part of it will be do
everything I can to make it work with whomever that individual is."

In January 2012, Margaret Sander's grandson died by suicide, and one year later in January 2013, her great-grandson died in the same way....
In January 2012, Margaret Sander's grandson died by suicide, and one year later in January 2013, her great-grandson died in the same way.
The impact of one suicide on a family is dramatic, while two becomes all the more painful, which is why Margaret and her daughter, Rose Marie (Sander) Jackson have made it part of their mission in life to do what they can to ensure no family ever had to face this kind of tragedy.
Both spoke candidly about their family's experience recently as the Redwood area community gathered together to begin the conversation about doing something to address the reality of the day – too many people are taking their own lives.
For the Sander family, suicide is the end result of a problem no one really likes to talk about – depression.
Margaret recalls as a very young child having feelings of depression, and to this day she is taking medication for her depression. Rose Marie has also faced depression, as did her son and grandson.
It was Rose Marie who discovered her son had hanged himself in the basement of her home. That is a picture she can't get out of her head.
"I remember the absolute shock and just screaming, 'no,no,no' over and over," said Rose Marie, adding she had to move out of that home and is now living in Belview where parents and other family members live.
"I have found support for my depression in family and friends," said Rose Marie.
Margaret also can recall the day she got a call she is never going to forget.
"My daughter called and told me my grandson had hanged himself," Margaret said. "That was so tough. It is hard to explain the feelings you have. It was hard, so very hard."
Margaret said her grandson had been diagnosed with clinical depression and had been prescribed medication. What was discovered at the time he took his life he had stopped taking that medication. Rose Marie said it was hard to find that out, but she said he was 32 years old and you can't force pills down the throat of someone who is 32.
No one knew Rose Marie's grandson and Margaret's great-grandson had been dealing with any kind of mental health issues until one day he just walked out of school. At that time he was diagnosed with the same thing his great-grandmother, grandmother and dad had faced – depression.
Depression is not a sign of weakness, said Margaret. It is a chemical imbalance due to a lack of certain neurotransmitters in the brain. It is a disease and needs to be treated that way. Rose Marie believes discovering depression early in the life of a child can be a big prevention measure.
"We do physicals and check for things like diabetes," she said. "So, why can't we do a mental health assessment, too?"
Margaret believes an annual mental health assessment would go a long way toward helping people long before they ever get to the point where life feels so bad the only way they feel they can get out of it is suicide.
In a silent statement she hopes speaks volumes to the people who she meets, Margaret wears a yellow ribbon on her shirt or coat – the symbol of suicide prevention.
Margaret said medication definitely helps, but she added the challenge for so many with a depression diagnosis is the medication prescribed does not always work right away and could take up to six weeks before the right medication is found. She added counseling is another important element to addressing depression.
"You have to find out which medication works best for you," she said, adding that can be frustrating, especially for someone who is already facing the pain of depression.
Both Margaret and Rose Marie said when it comes to mental illness one of the biggest issues is societal, as the stigma of a diagnosis remains very negative.
"We have to end that," Margaret stressed.
Margaret said when it came to her great-grandson, who was just 12 when he took his life, there did not seem to be many signs.
"He was a happy kid," she said, adding the weekend before he had been fishing in South Dakota. That is why it is so important for parents to find out what signs and symptoms could lead them to determine whether or not their child(ren) have clinical depression.
"We have computers today," she said. "So get on your computer and get educated."
Margaret and Rose Marie also stressed the importance of people talking about their depression, adding, especially when it comes to children, no one is going to feel hurt if you tell them you are feeling depressed.
"We need to create a way for our children to know they can talk about what they are feeling," said Margaret, adding that is especially true with males who often feel any signs of depression are also signs of weakness.
Rose Marie said depression is the real issue, because by the time someone is seriously thinking about suicide they are already feeling dead inside.
"It's like being in the last stages of cancer," she said. "They feel suicide is the only option they have to end the pain, so they have a peace inside."
Rose Marie and Margaret said they have seen what suicide does to a family.
There is no one to blame, but there is plenty of opportunity for people to get involved to help spread the word and raise the issue of suicide and depression publicly.
"Speak up," said Rose Marie. "Don't wait until you can't take it. Get help."
There are people who want to help, but they can't do anything if they don't know what is going on. There is no shame in admitting you are depressed.
Margaret said she is willing to talk with and listen to anyone who needs someone.
"I'm not an expert," she said, "but I want to help."
Suicide is a terrible way to die, said Rose Marie, both for the person who takes their life and the family left behind.
"I keep thinking I am going to see my son and grandson again," said Rose Marie, adding each time she hears of someone else dying by suicide it brings to the forefront the issues she has faced. "I miss them terribly."
She knows the pain, but she also knows there are ways to get help.
If you are at the point where you feel there is no other way out, you can find help by calling the Suicide Awareness Voices of Education (SAVE) crisis line at 1-800-273-8255. More information is also available on the SAVE Web site at www.save.org.

Help Send Alex Gordon to the All-Star Game
Randy York's N-Sider Blog
The Official Blog of the Huskers
Now that Alex Gordon has helped give your favorite university an indoor baseball/softball practice facility at Hawks Field, you can help give one of your favorite Nebraska baseball players a bump in voting for the Major League All-Star Game on Tuesday, July 13 at Citi Field in Flushing, N.Y., home of the New York Mets.
It's quick and easy to vote for Gordon, who has: 1) Won two MLB Gold Glove Awards; 2) Been named Royals Player of the Year; and 3) Reached Final Vote All-Star candidate status. But he has never been named to the American League All-Star roster, and that drought should end this summer. Why? Because even though the Royals are co-promoting Gordon and 2012 All-Star Billy Butler on their MLB website, Gordon has been more consistently productive this season in all phases of the game. To this point, the Nebraska icon from Lincoln Southeast is the 2013 MVP of the Royals.
I voted 25 times using MLB's link above and then received an email back, reminding me that as a free subscriber to MLB.com, I also could cast 10 additional ballots. It takes a few short minutes to vote 35 times for Gordon, but the effort would help Gordon create some momentum when the next surge of balloting begins on July 3. After identifying 10 solid reasons why the 29-year-old Gordon invested $1 million in his hometown and his alma mater, you also might be interested to know how much respect the former Nebraska All-American has for another former Husker All-American, Darin Erstad.
"Darin brings a lot of experience back to Nebraska," Gordon told me last month. "He plays the game right and respects the game. I've gotten to know him more, and he definitely knows what he's doing. I think it's great that he schedules all of those tough teams in the early season, so it can pay dividends when the conference season rolls around and the NCAA is trying to decide who belongs in the tournament." The Huskers fell one inning short of making the NCAA Tournament this summer when they lost the Big Ten Tournament Championship Game in Minneapolis. Indiana went on to win its Regional and sweep Florida State in its Super Regional. The Hoosiers are 1-1 in this week's College World Series, and Gordon sees Nebraska returning to that annual classic sometime soon.
In the meantime, a major Husker donor could use some Big Red ballot box passion to enable his first All-Star Game. Alex is one Gold Glove short of Darin's three fielding awards and while "Gordo" is still seeking that first All-Star honor to grace his resume, Erstad made the American League All-Star Team twice in his 14-year MLB career (1998 and 2000).

If Gov. Tom Corbett actually was sending strong signals to end the state's socialist liquor store monopoly, he would not make the case based on wonkish arguments.
The state's coercive liquor monopoly is a complete perversion of the function of government and, as such, should be dismantled. By what right does the state dictate how many cans of beer can be sold in what types of stores?
It is the philosophy of statism, in which the individual rights of citizens are usurped by an all-powerful government that created this corruption-laden, rights-destroying system, and it is only the philosophy of capitalism that can annihilate it entirely.

The Tuscaloosa Veterans Affairs Medical Center officially has a new director, Maria R. Andrews, who started in her new role this month.
The Tuscaloosa Veterans Affairs Medical Center officially has a new director, Maria R. Andrews, who started in her new role this month.
Andrews, a native of Pennsylvania, is the first female director of the Tuscaloosa VA. She has spent 34 years working in the VA system, starting as a dietitian intern in Chicago, then moving up the ranks from a clinical dietitian role to administration.
Over the years she has worked for the VA in Wilkes-Barre, Pa., Albuquerque, N.M., and El Paso, Texas. Most recently, she served as associate director and chief operating officer at the VA Southern Nevada Healthcare System in Las Vegas, where she oversaw more than 1,800 employees and a $400 million budget.
Andrews said that her experience has prepared her for the director role.
"I feel nothing but excitement," Andrews said. "I'm not only prepared for this, but I wanted to advance to director."
Tuscaloosa stands out among VAs because of its history and also because of its culture within the VA, Andrews said. The Tuscaloosa VA serves nearly 20,000 veterans with a workforce of more than 1,000 employees. It has an operating budget of more than $150 million.
"(The Tuscaloosa VA) has a very rich history of success, and I can jump in and sustain that success," she said.
Andrews said it was apparent her first day on the job how much the staff at the VA enjoy what they do and how much they really care for the veterans. That has a positive impact not only on the care veterans receive, but on the overall culture of the VA campus, Andrews said.
"There is a difference between accountability and ownership," Andrews said. "Our staff has managed to set the bar very, very high."
Andrews replaces former Tuscaloosa VA Director Alan Tyler, who retired in January after working in the VA system for 40 years.
Tyler's legacy on the Tuscaloosa VA is that it has expanded its services in recent years and is extremely well run, she said. Andrews said she hopes to continue that growth and continue to give the veterans the best possible service.
"I'm excited about the process and can take this already well-functioning organization to the next highest level," Andrews said.
The Tuscaloosa VA underwent its review by the joint commission, which surveys the hospital and awards accreditation, every three years in her first days here. Going through the accreditation process early allowed her to learn more about the Tuscaloosa VA than she might otherwise have in her first week on the job.
"It gave me a bird's-eye view of the Tuscaloosa VA, which was helpful as an outsider," she said.
The Tuscaloosa VA will continue to focus on its specialties, including mental health and serving the senior citizen population. But the VA will also ensure that veterans receive the care they need outside those specialities, she said.
"My plans at this point are more global," Andrews said. "I want to make sure that veterans have all the services they need, not just necessarily in Tuscaloosa. But we have resources to make sure they have the full continuum in care, not just in mental health and geriatrics."
Andrews is the mother of three grown children and a grandmother. Her husband relocated to Tuscaloosa last week.

Among recent enforcement actions taken by FINRA were the censure, fine and order to pay restitution of a firm that charged its customers bogus markups; censure and fine of a firm over supervisory failures related to nontraditional ETFs; censure and fine of a firm on short sale violations; and censure and fine of another firm over supervisory failures.
Morgan Keegan Censured, Fined Over Nontraditional ETFs
Memphis, Tenn.-based Morgan Keegan & Co. was censured and fined $365,000 on findings of failure to establish and maintain a supervisory system to achieve compliance in connection with the sale of nontraditional ETFs in accounts where the firm provided brokerage services.
The firm, now part of Raymond James, neither admitted nor denied those findings, as well as findings that it failed to adequately train registered representatives and supervisors regarding nontraditional ETFs. Instead, the firm supervised nontraditional ETFs the same as it did traditional ETFs, until the issuance of FINRA's June 2009 Regulatory Notice. The firm also allowed some of its registered representatives to recommend nontraditional ETFs without having performed reasonable diligence regarding their risks and features.
Max International Censured, Fined, Ordered to Pay Restitution
FINRA came down hard on Max International Broker/Dealer Corp. In addition to censure and a fine of $335,000, the firm was ordered to pay $482,111.27, plus accrued interest, in restitution to its customers. The firm appealed FINRA's decision to the NAC, but later withdrew the appeal.
According to FINRA's findings, Max International willfully charged fraudulent, excessive, undisclosed markups to customers who bought large volumes of penny stocks in the firm's proprietary account. In addition, it did not record trade details on order tickets or on other records, did not accurately record sale terms, and did not report trades as required, keeping both customers and regulators from discovering the fraudulent markups.
Numerous other failures in recording, reporting and blotter creation contributed to keeping prices, commissions, and other details of transactions obscured. Other failures cited in FINRA's findings were failures in electronic storage media (ESM) use, including the moving, changing and/or deletion of electronic files, reuse of backup tapes, and a lack of compliant maintenance of e-mail communications.
There were also failures to enforce supervisory procedures or to preserve evidence of those procedures' testing and verification; failure to identify the CCO on Form BD in a timely manner; and late filing of the firm's annual certification. FINRA Censures, Fines ITG on Short Sale Violations
FINRA censured New York-based ITG Inc. on findings that it violated an SEC Emergency Order period by the execution of short sale orders. In addition, the firm was fined $300,000, which includes disgorgement of approximately $14,000 in commissions received.
ITG neither admitted nor denied FINRA findings that it executed short sale orders in the securities of financial services companies covered by the Emergency Order but had neither borrowed nor preborrowed the shares before it did so. Instead, it misapplied exceptions to SEC Regulation SHO's locate requirement in its trading systems by improperly designating customer accounts as XMPT, so that they would be treated as exempt from the requirement.
Those accounts thus had the capability to carry out short sale transactions without having to satisfy the locate requirement, and as a result, some of those accounts were submitted for execution short sale orders without a valid locate.
The firm's supervisory system was also found to have failed in achieving compliance with the Emergency Order and with locate requirements, as well as failing to have WSPs that would have ensured compliance.
HTK Fined by FINRA on Supervisory Failures
Hornor, Townsend & Kent was censured and fined $150,000 by FINRA for failure to establish and maintain a supervisory system, as well as failures regarding WSPs aimed at compliance on direct application business involving previously purchased mutual funds.
The firm neither admitted nor denied FINRA findings that a registered principal's review of all direct application subsequent transactions involving previously purchased mutual funds, including those in 529 plans, was not provided for in the firm's system and procedures. In addition, there was no provision for a suitability review of funds in such transactions, nor were procedures in place to review sales charges (breakpoints) or the source of funds.
FINRA found that the firm, instead of supervising in such instances, relied on representatives instead of principals to make suitability determinations on subsequent transactions, and regarded the fact that a principal had carried out a supervisory review for the initial direct application mutual fund transaction as sufficient. No principal of the firm carried out a supervisory review of later transactions, and firm principals didn't receive or review account statements for direct application products.
The firm also failed to prepare adequate blotters; instead, registered representatives were allowed to keep their own Checks Received and Forwarded blotters, which were processed once a week.

The New Franklin boys and girls basketball teams gave great effort Friday night while hosting the Salisbury Panthers on Homecoming.
Although the Panthers may have felt at home by beating the New Franklin boys and girls by the scores of 67-43 and 35-29, respectively, the gym said otherwise with each class displaying their banners across the walls.
Of course the Lady Bulldogs had their chances against Salisbury while trailing by just one (8-7) after first period's end while matching the Panthers with seven points in the second frame to go in at the down by one at 15-14.
While shooting 50 percent from the field in the first half, New Franklin took only 12 shots. Salisbury, meanwhile, burned the nets from the outside in the first half while scoring nine of its 15 points from the three-point arc.
Nonetheless, the Lady Bulldogs were still very much in the ballgame with two quarters of play. While leading by as much as three in the first half, New Franklin also trailed by as much as six at 15-9 with 2:34 left in the second after a trey by senior Sabrina Burris.
But all was forgotten in the third quarter as New Franklin came back and took its first lead since the opening period after back-to-back baskets by Derian Dodson and Jasmyne Boggs to make it 18-17 with 6:00 left. Unfortunately for New Franklin, they never led again after that as Salisbury closed out the period with a 9-2 run to lead after three by a score of 26-20.
The fourth quarter was just as close as the first-three periods, with the Lady Bulldogs cutting the lead to four at 26-22 with 7:06 left only to have Salisbury come back and reel off four straight to push the lead to eight at 30-22 with 4:32 remaining.
New Franklin didn't go down without a fight, though. While cutting the lead to four on two different occasions over the final four minutes, the Lady Bulldogs would get no closer as Salisbury came back with a 5-3 advantage for the rest of the game for the victory.
While the loss dropped New Franklin to 15-6 on the season, head coach Chris McGowan said the girls had a nice atmosphere to play in this game.
"There was a big crowd attending because of Homecoming and it was fun to play in that atmosphere," McGowan said. "Salisbury did a good job rebounding throughout the game and really limited our second chance points. We also really struggled shooting the ball which is evidenced by our 28% shooting on the night. I was comfortable with our shot selection throughout most of the game, but we had a lot of trouble making a shot. We have two more weeks of the regular season to get better and need to make the most of our opportunities."
Sabrina Burris had 14 points and Hannah Nicolay eight for Salisbury.
For New Franklin, Aly Hundley finished the game with seven points, seven rebounds, four steals and two assists. Madi Lyons also had seven points, four rebounds and two steals while Derian Dodson added six points and five rebounds, Aislinn Himmelberg with four points and one rebounds, Jasmyne Boggs with three points, 13 rebounds and two steals and Kalani Pihana with two points and two rebounds.
The Lady Bulldogs also finished the game shooting 26 percent from the field and 40 percent from the foul line.
The New Franklin boys also put up a good fight against the Panthers, who entered the game ranked No. 4 in Class 2.
Although the Panthers clearly had the height against New Franklin, the Bulldogs gave Salisbury everything they wanted and more early on while leading at one point by a score of 12-4 with 2:56 left in the first period. However, after a quick timeout by Salisbury coach Kenny Wyatt, the Panthers picked up the pace offensively while outscoring New Franklin 9-0 for the rest of the quarter and 8-0 early in the second period to make it 21-12.
Salisbury never looked back from that point on while leading at the break 23-19. The Panthers also dominated the second half by outscoring New Franklin 44-24 to win the game by 24.
Despite the loss, New Franklin coach Jim Schlotzhauer said his team played a solid first half to stay within four.
"Salisbury is a great team who won't be held down for long," Schlotzhauer said. "They figured out what we had to give up and they took advantage of it. That's what good teams will do to you when they have advantages. I was very proud of our effort throughout the game."
Austin Wyatt led Salisbury in scoring with 20 points.
For New Franklin, who dropped to 11-10 overall, Tyler White had 22, Tanner White eight, Jacob Hendrix four, Ryley Lyons three and Adam Harris, Dalton Welbern and Tyler Hull each with two.
Salisbury boys and girls grind out wins against New Franklin
The New Franklin boys and girls basketball teams gave great effort Friday night while hosting the Salisbury Panthers on Homecoming.

Actually, that's exactly what it is. "Stagger Lee" was first recorded about 90 years ago, and it could well be a decade or two older than that. The Bad Seeds just made it about fifty times darker, is all.
Guess I should have put that it didn't sound like an average traditional "story telling" song. But anyway, thanks for the info. It's definitely something I'll keep in mind when having another listen.

News Roundup
NASA: Spacewalk planned to fix space station leak
WASHINGTON — Two astronauts will make a hastily planned spacewalk Saturday to try to fix an ammonia leak in the power system of the International Space Station. The leak in a cooling system was discovered Thursday when "snowflakes" of ammonia were seen flying away from the station. Engineers on Earth were up overnight plotting an impromptu spacewalk. Spacewalks are rarely done on such short notice, but the space agency wanted to check out the leak before all the ammonia escaped and also to take advantage of a spacewalking crew member who is about to return home. Officials emphasized that the six-member crew is not in danger and the outpost has plenty of power, even though the leak forced NASA to shut off the power channel from one of eight solar panels that supply electricity to the station.It can operate fine with only seven electrical channels, space station program manager Michael Suffredini said Friday. Power from the affected panel was re-routed to the other seven systems. Suffredini said the chief suspect for the leak is space junk hitting a cooling tube, but he said the area had a slow small leak for many years that suddenly accelerated on Thursday. "You're talking a very, very, very small hole," Suffredini said at a NASA news conference. NASA hopes the leak is in a small pump box. During the six-hour spacewalk on Saturday morning, U.S. astronauts Chris Cassidy and Tom Marshburn will replace the 260-pound box with a nearby spare. While NASA has had to do impromptu spacewalks before, they haven't been done on the space station since it was completely built and operating as a finished lab, said chief flight director Norm Knight, who called the move "precedent-setting." Station Commander Chris Hadfield of Canada told NASA flight controllers Friday that the crew is completely ready for the spacewalk. "It's the right thing to do," he radioed down to Earth. Hadfield tweeted that the crew was working "like clockwork" and said the two spacewalkers were already getting their spacesuits ready. While he also described it as a "serious situation," Suffredini characterized it more as annoyance. If the cooling system can't be fixed in Saturday's spacewalk, it can be fixed in later spacewalks, he said. And if it isn't fixed, NASA can and has operated the station fully on seven power channels, he said. But that would leave the station little margin for error. If there are more problems, some experiments on board may have to be shut down to conserve power. But, he said, "it's not critical from a safety standpoint." NASA also just wants to figure out what happened. If it was space junk, that leaves a tell-tale signature, Suffredini said. "What's causing the leak is unknown because there's a lot of plumbing underneath the box itself," NASA spokesman Rob Navias said. "We've had lots of experience in installing and replacing coolant loop hardware." He said the repair is what NASA calls one of the "Big 12" types of emergency repair work that all spacewalking astronauts train for in advance, Navias said. In 2009, Cassidy and Marshburn flew to the space station on the shuttle Endeavour and walked in space together to swap out a battery in the same location, so "they know this worksite inside and out," Navias said. Marshburn, Hadfield and Russia's Roman Romanenko are set to return to Earth on Monday. NASA Administrator Charles Bolden told reporters in Virginia on Friday that their return will go ahead as planned, leaving three astronauts on board. Another reason to do the repair quickly: There may be some ammonia left which will help the spacewalkers find the leak because of the white flakes, Suffredini said. Last fall, station instruments revealed a leak that was so small that it wasn't visible. In November, two other spacewalking astronauts tried to reroute coolant lines to bypass the tiny leak but it wasn't successful.

Recipe: Spaghetti Scented with Orange
Poschiavo, one of our favorite pastas, is perfect for the recipe that was featured this week in our weekly dinner email: Spaghetti Scented with Orange. To sign up to receive more recipes like this along with our weekly takeout dinner menu, email us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
2 oranges
1 ½ tablespoons unsalted butter
Coarse sea salt
1 pound spaghetti
1 ¼ cups heavy cream
1/3 cup of finely chopped fresh chervil (plus more for serving)
1/2 cup freshly Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese (plus more for serving)
3 large egg yolks
Freshly ground black pepper
Bring a large pot of water to boil. Warm serving plates in a low oven (200°F).
Using a vegetable peeler or a paring knife cut zest from the orange into long strips, avoiding the white pith. Very thinly slice the strips lengthwise.
In a medium sized skillet melt the butter over medium heat until the foam subsides. Add the zest and a pinch of salt. Turn heat down to medium-low and cook stirring occasionally until soft and lightly golden, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
Add pasta to the boiling water and cook until al-dente. Meanwhile, in a medium heavy saucepan, bring cream, chervil and a pinch of salt to a gentle simmer and cook for about 4 minutes.
Just before pasta is ready, spoon 3 tablespoons of cream onto warmed serving plates. Using the back of a spoon, spread cream to cover plates. Cover to keep warm. Drain pasta, transfer to a large bowl and immediately toss with the remaining cream mixture, cheese and egg yolks. Continuing tossing until cream and yolks are fully incorporated and the strands of pasta are nicely coated. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer pasta to prepared serving plates; sprinkle with zest, remaining chervil and extra cheese. Serve immediately.

WTH is PBRWCC?
Well, that's very easy. Pbrwcc stands for Peanut Butter Rosemary White Chocolate Chunks, how come you didn't guess that?
When I was at Pastry School I was presented to strange combo flavours that I had never tried before. Combos like white chocolate and black olives (very good by the way) became normal to me. Not only I've became very open minded to new flavours but I can imagine them in my head before I actually taste them.
I knew (or I hoped) before tasting these cookies that they would be good. When searching for a flavour to add to the leftover rosemary powder in a cookie, somehow peanut butter just seamed so right. And white chocolate too. Problem solved, I've used both.
To create these cookies I've started with my go-to peanut butter cookie recipe (found months ago at Cookiemadness), but I'm sure you can use your own favourite pb cookie recipe.
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 cup peanut butter butter
- 1 egg
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 1/2 cups (170 gr/ 6oz) flour
- 1 cup white chocolate chunks
- 3 1/2 tsp rosemary powder
- sugar, for rolling
Preheat oven to 180ºC (350ºF). Cream the butter and both sugars. Beat in the peanut butter and egg. Scrape sides of bowl and beat in the salt, baking soda, rosemary powder and vanilla. When well blended, add flour and stir until it is blended. Finally stir in the chocolate chunks. Shape dough into 1-inch balls, roll each ball into sugar and place on cookie sheets about 5 cm (2 inchs) apart. Flatten balls with the bottom of a flat glass and bake for 10-12 minutes or until slightly browned around the edges.
Would you look at those crunchy sugary edges?! Everybody loved them and I'm sure you will too!
And don't worry, I'm not going to use rosemary for a while!

Durangoans were eager to give on Thanksgiving.
More than 200 volunteers signed up to wash pots, slice pie, stir gravy and carry dinner trays for the mobility-impaired at the Community Thanksgiving Dinner at the La Plata County Fairgrounds.
Into its 27th year, the event is so well-organized that name tags were waiting for volunteers at the reception area of the dining hall. Their names were divided by hourly shift.
Many volunteers had signed up in early October, said Mary Ralph, the coordinator of the meal and a pastoral associate at St. Columba Catholic Church.
Volunteering is a family tradition for many, who will offer the services of their out-of-town guests, too. A grandmother from Atlanta and an uncle from Los Angeles were among the helpers.
Volunteers will call me at St. Columba: I want to sign up my family of 5, Ralph said.
If theyre families with young children, she and Gordon Clouser, the volunteer coordinator, will give them less hazardous tasks, keeping them away from the boiling water and coffee machines.
On Thursday, volunteers also wandered in off the street, wanting to be useful on the holiday.
Family is all out of town. I came here to do something, said a man in a baseball cap.
A woman with three young children took a break from their bicycle ride to see if they could pitch in, but organizers were running out of jobs by 11:30 a.m.
Maybe the thing to do is to clean off some turkey bones, like eat, said Kim Skinner, a greeter.
Skinner understands that Durango can feel like a lonely place, especially for new arrivals.
I dont have family here, she said. We all run here to escape from something.
Skinner, who moved here about a year ago from Tucson, Ariz., is grateful for Durangos slower, small-town pace.
I like to read the Blotter in the newspaper somebody yelling in the street, dog on the loose thats crime here, she said.
For Thanksgiving, an ecumenical group of local churches organizes the holiday celebration. Local businesses such as Bread, Blimpies and Jean-Pierre donate the rolls and baked goods. McDonalds supplies the orange drink.
Employees at Mercy Regional Medical Center cooked the turkeys. The hospital also donated 30 gallons of gravy.
Organizers planned to serve at least 700 meals at the fairgrounds and deliver another 100 meals to people in outlying areas. Leftovers are donated to Manna Soup Kitchen.
Schoolchildren created directional signs so people knew where to drop off their turkeys and desserts.
Diners ate on paper plates, but the dinnerware still managed to feel sentimental. Organizers laminated the dinner placemats to preserve the holiday designs made by schoolchildren. The newest place mats are 2 years old, but their messages are enduring.
One child wrote, I am thankful for my cat because he is nice.
Another child wrote on a placemat, I am thankful for the Indians finding the pilgrims and helping them.
In a sign of the times, the community dinner is now offering gluten-free and dairy-free pies.
This is a new tradition that has started spontaneously, Ralph said. The desserts are not donated in bulk but baked at home. Bakers are sensitive to peoples food issues, but Ralph also acknowledged that there was not a lot in the way of plant-based food.
Theres a lot of butter and calories, she said.
Stuffing is the one vegetarian thing, Ralph said. (Plus) we have green beans and raw vegetables carrots, celery sticks and pickles.
Judy Hook was proud that her daughter, Tanya Milchen, made a pumpkin pie without cream or butter.
Its amazing what you can do with coconut milk, Hook said.

The leaves are just starting to turn in the mountainous country consisting of Rappahannock, Va., and soon the first frost will trigger the leaf shedding ritual of autumn. The hillsides and country roads remind Larry (Bud) Meyer of the rural Ralls County, Missouri, farm where he spent his first eight years, and the Virginia setting serves as the next best thing to being back in Hannibal, where his childhood memories still come a calling.
Meyer, who spent his work years associated with newspapers, is now settling into a lifestyle somewhat akin, but vastly different than "all about facts and nailing down quotes" journalism.
Perched in his home office with straggling wildlife just outside his window, his mind is now free to imagine. "What if …" he wonders. And that curiosity has led to a new segment of his work career.
"The first 20 years of my career, I was a journalist," Meyer said via a telephone interview from Virginia. "It was about getting things exactly right, getting stories straight.
"The second part of my career was working for a foundation, a large non profit, and the work was all about their mission and their agenda," he said.
"This is a progression. Now I've moved on to fiction. I make stuff up and it is unbelievably rewarding, fun and risky. The kind of fiction I'm doing is based on contemporary issues, such as fracking, as I go forward with cautionary tales in a place like Rappahannock County, Va., before things go spinning toward a worst-case scenario."
His journalism background is essential to the evolution of his stories. "I have my facts straight about how fracking works, but journalism helps make the fiction work better."
He explains that fracking "is an interesting technology, drilling a mile deep and a mile in each direction. Millions of gallons of water are poured in to force the gas out of the shale and back up the pipe. When water comes up, it is saline water and has to be disposed of in some responsible way."
Meyer incorporates possible risks involved with the technology and paints a "worst case scenario. It really becomes interesting. There are always risks involved in new technology."
He realizes fracking is here to stay, but his concern is about "the long term effects to the environment and our health."
With the publication of his new book, which he titled "Mother Fracker," he hopes to heighten awareness of environmental and health concerns, and promote investment in alternative forms of energy. "It sickens livestock and people; it renders property useless. I would rather see them spend considerable time and effort in improving their practices, so that as fracking goes forward, it is safer."
In his book he creates the perfect storm of problems with fracking. "The characters I've created pull together to save the day. They save the environment."
Meyer has created his own publishing company, "Morningside Press of Miami." Sales begin today via www.motherfrackerbook.com
"It is part a business story and part an arts story. Art as a novel is a new addition to literature. I have a long way to go to match the literature that came out of Hannibal, Missouri."
He is using social media to get the word out about his book. His goal is to "find niches of people who like my environmental message."
To promote his book, "I am going to do a 'tour of the great couches of America,' hanging out with friends and family and using their networks to find new readers and new audiences of people.
"It is a fun new interest of mine; it keeps me busy and active. It's a way to use talents that I have to employ in my working life in a different setting in retirement."
Hannibal native Larry (Bud) Meyer pens novel around oil fracking's worst case scenario
