The teacher supports children's learning by preparing materials and a classroom climate of trust and support between the teacher and each child as well each child toward his or her peers. The teacher determines when to introduce new materials by observing each child's progress, taking notes, and presenting new ideas to individual children or small groups of children as indicated by their development.

Literacy Skills
Literacy is essential to most aspects of school curriculum. It also presents opportunities for children to avail themselves to the knowledge and creativity of others. Hence, literacy is a critical part of the DMMS curriculum. Children learn the sounds of letters and ways that letters combine to form words. They engage in innovative activities in inventive writing. They see words in context not only in books but around the classroom as well. Children learn that reading and writing are avenues to wonderful and exciting adventures.
Math Curriculum
Math is far more than symbols and words on paper. Children learn to add and subtract by combining and taking away objects. They learn place value by seeing bead bundles that represent ones, tens, hundreds, and thousands. They hold wooden spindles that can be divided into parts of a whole. Conceptual understanding of math is a natural outcome of activities that allow children to manipulate objects and see relationships. The symbolic representation on paper always follows a solid understanding of concepts derived from concrete objects.
Science Curriculum
Science is truly exciting when it is about physical properties that are learned through the experimentation of observing and testing, such as seeing the change in a stalk of celery when it is placed in a glass of red-colored water. Science allows children to label, define, and explain the processes and elements of life around them. It expands a child's vocabulary and vision of the world, indicating how the child can impact his or her environment. Children learn to articulate a question, derive theories, and then examine evidence to test their theories. The science experiments focus on impacting phenomena such as gravity, friction, motion, color and light. Experiments extend to other disciplines such as art, writing, and reading.
Respect & Order
Central to Montessori learning is the ethic of respect for self and others and respect for one's environment. Children learn the importance of approaching others politely and asking to join others in activities. These skills support a critical balance between autonomy and a cooperative community.
Choice and spontaneity, core principles of a Montessori education, are achieved in an orderly environment. Children exercise freedom within limits to facilitate a productive working environment for everyone.
Autonomy & Creativity
Children's creativity is free flowing in this prepared environment. Children can try new activities without fear of reprimand or competition from others. This sense of safety facilitates intellectual development derived from choosing activities that capture and maintain children's interest, and self esteem that comes from accomplishing self-designated learning tasks. Joy is the pervasive emotion that governs children's work.

(Reuters) - US Airways Group
The carrier said unit revenue, a measure of pricing power and how full planes are, was flat in the month compared with a year earlier. US Airways added that result was lower than expected for March, and cited "reduced close-in demand believed to be driven largely by the sequester."
On Tuesday, Delta Air Lines
Delta had also said March unit revenue fell short of its expectations, citing lower-than-expected bookings due to automatic budget cuts mandated by sequestration and reduced demand as a result of attempts to raise prices.

Tell Us What You're Reading!
Published on Thursday, May 24, 2012 - 3:03pm
As librarians, we are accustomed to hearing that crucial question: "What should I read next?"
To prepare, we do our best to keep up with bestsellers and have a mini arsenal of suggestions stashed in our pocket at all times. However, it is always a wonderful surprise when you share your great book suggestions.
About two weeks ago, I was discussing the merits of Kathryn Stockett's The Help and how it compared to the film adaptation. When I expressed that I found the book a little underwhelming, a woman readily suggested that I check out Lalita Tademy's book, Cane River.
Born from a labor of love as Tademy began to research her own family history, the novel is a wonderful work of fiction interlaced with the personal facts she discovered in her quest.
Beginning in the pre-Civil War era, Cane River follows the lives of one slave family as they strive to carve a life from the farmlands tucked away in Louisiana's river landscape. As told by the family's matriarchs, Tademy allows you to see through the eyes of three generations of strong women as they fight to keep their family together through the trials of slavery, during the Civil War and in the aftermath of emancipation. At times lighthearted, and others heartbreaking, this book is consistently powerful and a beautiful testament to the difficult road Tademy's ancestors had to travel on their way to freedom.
While I cannot remember the woman's name who suggested this book to me, I am extremely grateful she chose to share and I look forward to hearing from more of you as to what I should read next!

Managing your money, dealing with your debt, acting responsibly, preparing for your future, living below your means…these are 100%, absolutely vital!
But here's the truth: It's not about the money!
None of this is about the number of dollars in your account, the amount of debt you have or how tight your budget is.
The journey to financial freedom is all about asking one question:
"Who do I want to be."
Who do you want to be for your spouse? Who do you want to be for your children? Who do you want to be for your present self and your future self? Who do you want to be in Gods eyes?

The electronics titans square off in a tangled tale of mobile technology, centered on Apple's iPhone
The LG Flatron E2290 looks beautiful and includes basic monitor features; however, for its price we expected something more than a pretty face.
Pricing not available
The Memorex Travel Speaker offers a compact, foldable design and some handy extras, but the so-so sound quality and cheap plastic construction will likely be a turnoff for some potential buyers.
The HP Pavilion X2 comes in both 11- and 13-inch screen sizes, but at $599.99 is it too expensive to compete with other cheaper hybrids also hitting the market this year?
The LG Flatron E2350V is a low-priced LED monitor with great performance and useful features.
The LG Flatron E2260's price is too high and its performance too lacking compared to other similar monitors.
Pricing not available
The Linksys E4200 v2 makes a great upgrade to the original version and an excellent investment for those who need a fast, feature-rich, advanced, yet easy-to-use router for the home or even a small business.
Despite a sensor and LCD upgrade, this doesn't seem like a major change from its predecessor.
While there are some other enhancements to the camera, a grip may be the most notable.
While it's not the best in any particular aspect, and you probably don't want to use it for video, the Olympus PEN E-PL3 offers an excellent balance of size, features, performance, and photo quality for the money.
While Bluetooth proximity unlocking and the GPS locator features of Viper SmartStart and SmartKey come in handy, it is a fairly big installation and will apply to limited scenarios and vehicles.

Outraged at sequester
Sequester is a term heard across the country, and it has become part of the daily conversation for federal workers across our great nation. Agencies and federal employees have had their salaries and budgets cut for an undisclosed amount of time. Even our airport tower in Martin County is in jeopardy of closure. This maneuver by the federal government has caused outrage among officials and citizens across our country.
A community plagued
Why is it that this community is plagued by such crime and violence? I see people coming to the city and publicly asking for help, which is fine; however, one question that hasn't been asked what is the root cause of this? The gangs (replacement family), drug dealings, young kids staying out late, the language that they use -- they all learned this from some source.
Some of this is a byproduct of welfare, for those that have had no real family foundation or education. There are generations of people having kids just to be on the ever-so-loving government poverty control of subsidized living, and through this action the rest of the community at large has to pay the price for those who didn't take responsibility for their lives or the children they produced.
What a shame. But hey, as long as they're getting their free government handouts that's what matters to them. Yes, it all points to the politicians who promise them a better life. Yeah, right. Then perhaps the politicians need to fund special education for these people so they can produce an income and be free of the handouts.
I write this not bashing all those individuals but the ones who knowingly are working the system. Yeah, another reason our country is going into the toilet. Yeah, the democrats are really taking care of you. They are earning great benefits while feeding you a line. Talk about being hustled.
Says who?
Public school teachers repeatedly state that pupils learn more when teachers receive higher salaries. There is no evidence to verify that claim.
Teachers also argue that smaller class size leads to better achievement. There is precious little data to prove that argument has any merit, either.
Try Miami first
As a pre-condition for public school teachers being hired, they should first take a job in Miami. Maybe then they would appreciate more the wonderful wages, benefits and working conditions here.
Stop complaining
The way public school teachers cry about their wages, benefits and working conditions, they might prefer jobs in the coal mines. There they would work miles below the surface, skip breaks and meals, get paid pennies a ton, and then when they finally see the sun, they are blind as moles and riddled with black lung.
Laws to protect?
The most practical way to protect us is not to enact laws which make it difficult and costly for law-abiding citizens to buy, own and shoot guns.
This will not prevent crimes. It's hard to believe that emotional people believe this nonsense. Criminals will always find ways to get guns.
The proposed gun bans will make us much more vulnerable.
Obama and guns
Our government does not hate guns. President Obama loves guns, but he doesn't want to allow us to own them. That way, his government monopoly is in control, total control. Peaceful American gun owners do not threaten others. Challenge the IRS if you want to see who is in control.
Stop overspending
Government spending is out of control. The GOP had its chance and was guilty of overspending. Now the democrats are in charge, and it has gotten worse. The big spenders are in total control. No wonder people are fed up and turning to the tea parties.
Legalize the illegal immigrants?
Has anyone thought that by legalizing the illegal immigrants we could fix the Social Security and Medicare problems?
As I understand it, there are not enough workers to support the social benefit systems, so why not let anyone who wants to immigrate, become a citizen and pay taxes?
To support this idea, I propose shutting the borders down and reorganizing the immigration system. Let's welcome everyone in that does not have a felony background. Kick the foreign gangs and criminals out.
To support this system, I propose reducing the size of government by half or more. By cutting agency funds, they will get down to basics and do what they were created to do and there will not be any monies for pork projects.
First on the chopping block should be the IRS. Let it be replaced by a sales tax on everything, even on exports. This way, everyone contributes and we do not tax earnings.
Healthcare should be handled by the states and employers.
Welfare needs to be handled by the state and local levels. There nothing's wrong with helping your neighbor.
Next, deregulate business and drop the too big to fail mantra. Encourage businesses to set up firewalls in case one part of their business fails, it does not take the whole business and others down with it. By deregulation and by a fairer tax, more jobs will be produced.
With the extra population, we will need more land to build on, more food, more energy and more water. I propose that we sell the federal lands to Americans, except for the wonderful national parks. The monies from the sales should go toward the debt.
Desalination plants could be built by private monies to handle the water problem, more farms need to be planted by the private sector for our food and of course, drill baby drill.
Meanwhile, the private sector can continue to build cheaper renewable energies and produce renewable energy products. We need to be self-sufficient for our basics. So, I say, let's welcome everyone. We can accommodate everyone and we will be the better for it.
Just learn English and obey our laws, please. You cannot succeed here without these two things. After all, we are the world's melting pot. Let's embrace it and make it work. Stop dividing us, dear leaders, we are Americans. Maybe the next census will ask our age, sex and income only.

Precocious beyond her years
From Vince Vaughan's immature man child, to Dakota Fanning's precocious personality, this little lady has had to grow up fast in her roles as the overly mature kid in tough-life situations. Her characters will usually lack some sort of structured parenting, leaving her to fend for herself by developing an uncanny wisdom and intelligence beyond her years. As the most level-headed child actor in Hollywood, it's true that Fanning's just as advanced and sophisticated in real life, making her roles in 'I am Sam', 'Uptown Girls', 'Man on Fire', and the TV series 'Taken' mere child's play for the seasoned performer. Now that she's stepping forward into adulthood, we can only wonder what Fanning will do next, however, she's currently following the Jodie Foster Protocol (in which child stars attend top-tier East Coast universities. See also: Natalie Portman, Emma Watson).

TOLEDO, OH (WTOL Editorial) - For most people, dying is an uncomfortable topic, especially when it is your own death that you are discussing. But talking about your eventual demise is exactly what the 78 million Baby Boomers should do. I attended a lecture this week by Dr. Ira Byock. He is an expert in hospice and palliative care. His book, "The Best Care Possible" is filled with common sense advice for helping you plan for a dignified death.
Dying well, he says, is hard but it is not impossible. Since many of us have dealt firsthand with the disappointment, anger and shame related to caring for aging and dying parents we know the health care world can become a confusing, disorganized place. When we seek clarity, and comfort for our loved ones, we are confronted with just the opposite. The lessons learned by you and your friends should not go to waste.
Baby Boomers have proven to be self-reliant and have always carried through life with high expectations. We should take that same attitude toward our mortality. There are simple, legal documents that help take the uncertainty out of this process. When you combine these documents with earnest discussions with your spouse and children, you will create a template for an end-of-life process that preserves your dignity and eases some of the pain for your loved ones.
This is a WTOL11 Editorial. We want to know what you think. Send your comments to email@example.com.

The Future of Wetlands
As a Nordic contribution to the celebration of 40 years of global wetland conservation, Finland organised an international conference on 25 October 2011 in Helsinki on "The Future of Wetlands". With support from the Nordic Council of Ministers, the Ministry of the Environment and the Metsähallitus Natural Heritage Service invited experts from Estonia, Finland, Iceland, Latvia, Norway, the Russian Federation, Sweden, the Europarc Federation and the Ramsar Secretariat to reflect on the current (deteriorating) state of wetlands, the failure to reach the 2010 biodiversity target, and to explore why wetlands are relevant, how we should interact in order to find more efficient and sustainable solutions, and how to increase the political commitment for the future.The 60 or so participants first listened to presentations about the achievements and future challenges for the Ramsar Convention (by Nick Davidson, the Ramsar Deputy Secretary General), how to put the "green" into green wetland economy (by Marianne Kettunen of the Institute for European Environmental Policy) and the state of wetlands in Finland (by Kaisu Aapala of the Finnish Environment Institute and Jorma Pessa of the Centre for Economic Development, Transport and the Environment). PDF files of these presentations and the programme of the conference can be found on Metsähallitus's website.
Environment State Secretary Katariina Poskiparta opens
A panel, representing different stakeholders, continued the discussion on the above themes: Lennart Gladh (WWF Sweden), Petri Heinonen (United Paper Mills), Stig Johannson (IUCN World Commission on Protected Areas), Liisa Pietola (Central Union of Agricultural Producers and Forest Owners), Jaakko Silpola (International Peat Society) and Heikki Toivonen (Finnish Environmental Institute) explained what wetland ecosystems meant to them and their respective constituency. They clarified that wetlands are much more than important bird areas, that wetland ecosystems include marine and estuarine areas, lakes, rivers, wet grasslands and forests, peatlands and man-made wetlands, covering the largest part of the Nordic countries.
The discussion then focused on the ecosystem services that this wetland infrastructure provides to our societies. The need was mentioned to identify and to demonstrate specific ecosystem values prior to taking development decisions, such as looking at wetland ecosystems as investment opportunities to restore the green infrastructure, and by doing so to assure a lasting provision of ecological services. With the analysis that wetland services underpin green and sustainable economies, the panellists showed that wetlands are key components of environment-based economies, such as forestry, agriculture, hunting, tourism and energy production. They convincingly argued that land-owners, public and private, large and small, are best suited to recognize the importance of their own "natural wetland capital", and should be acknowledged as a category of resource users with a genuine interest and a significant potential to develop sustainable use patterns in the long term. This is a promising start indeed to increase the political wetland commitment for the future.
Tiina Nikkonen (of Metsähallitus) and Jussi Soramäki (of the Environment Ministry), Ramsar's focal points in Finland, are to be congratulated and thanked for their efforts to organise this highly inspirational Ramsar 40th anniversary event.

While eating oranges, we usually just peel them and throw the skin away. Although kids squeeze them in each other's eyes to make one cry as a prank, but that's wastage too! Orange peel and apple skin are similar since most of the nutrients and benefits are in the skin of these fruits. According to Rebecca Wood, author of The New Whole Foods Encyclopedia, "One medium orange contains over 60 flavonoids and 170 different phytonutrients." They are good for your skin, your system and your home too. Dr. Jaishree Bhattacharjee, Ayurvedic consultant with Satvikshop helps us find out it's different uses.

Company: Capitol Clothing Corp.
Location: 2106 NW 22nd Ct., Miami
Service: Children's clothing manufacturer
Years in Business: 25
Management: Richard Behar, owner and president
Revenues: 2010: $2.4 million; 2011: $2.8 million; 2012: $3.2 million; 2013: $3.75 million.
Employees: seven
Brands: Little Baron (infants and boys sizes 2-8); Capitol Boys (sizes 8-10-12).
Milestones: In 2013, Capitol Clothing Corp. opened its first cruise line account, with Windstar Cruises, and is looking to expand by opening more accounts with other cruise lines. The company also increased its business 50 percent with a national park concessionaire that has 110 locations across the U.S.
Impact: All of the company's clothing is made in the United States. Fabric is cut at the Miami headquarters and is sent out to their various sewing contractors in South Florida. The clothing is then sent back, coordinated as complete sets and shipped out.
Keys to success: According to Behar:
1. The company offers a high quality product that is very competitively priced, and the "Made In USA" aspect adds perceived value.
2. The company is well structured for quick response. "Since we are a domestic manufacturer, an account like Busch Gardens or National Geographic can place a custom order for safari outfits with their logo. We can produce and ship it in a matter of weeks," Behar said. "We are getting more and more known in the industry as a very important source for better quality children's outfits. We have an amazing customer loyalty. Many companies lose customers due to a lack of good customer service. We make all our customers feel important, large or small."
3. Discipline and dedication to the work. "My father had incredible work ethics and was a very big role model and a mentor to me and taught me everything I know about the production part of the business," Behar said.
4. "Many celebrities' children have been seen in the media wearing our outfits, which has given us very valuable exposure. Cruz Beckham, son of David Beckham, was pictured in many magazines wearing our Zookeeper outfit. Mason, son of Kourtney Kardashian, loves our outfits and wears them on the 'Keeping Up With The Kardashians' shows. Kourtney's grandmother (Kris Jenner's mom, who has a store in La Jolla, Calif.), happens to be one of our customers," Behar said. "We also received a personal "thank you" card from John Travolta and his wife [Kelly Preston] after they received our outfits for their son Benjamin from a celebrity gifting group that selected us."
Strategy for next step: "Our growth throughout the years has been very gradual. For 2014, it's time to take the company to the next level," he said. "We make a niche product with very big potential growth and want to grow our distribution."
Behar said that because the collection is diverse, each style has its own market. The company is in talks with a distributor in Europe to distribute its products there, especially since U.S.-made clothing in Europe is in very high demand, he said.
"My son, who is 14 years old, plans on being more involved in the company as he gets older. Right now, he is helping around on some of his off days from school, but I tell him his focus is to be on school to prepare him for college after that," Behar said. "My 10-year-old daughter insists she'll work with daddy when she's older. Will I retire someday? Maybe, but it won't be before I'm 100. I love my work. It's my passion."
Small Company Spotlight highlights recent business milestones such as major contracts, mergers or acquisitions by established South Florida companies with 300 employees or fewer.

- My carnivorous favorite.DrMMVIPDined on 9/20/2014Prototypical steakhouse with excellent steaks, knowledgeable waitstaff and impeccable service. The baked potato side order is best shared. I didn't care for the cauliflower purée The sorbet desert was shared by four. On my recent visit I discovered the upstairs bar and dining room. A lot quieter with the same food and service.
- luvbstnDined on 9/20/2014Incredible dining experience. The food was delicious and our steaks were cooked perfectly. The servers were very attentive.Special Features:
- Anniversary 22OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/19/2014I brought my wife, Claire, for our 22nd anniversary. What a romantic evening and the food was delicious. I am glad we came back, and it certainly won't be our last time!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Best Filet Oscar!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/19/2014My first time at Abe & Louis and I was not disappointed. I've been wanting to go for some time and it lived up to my expectations. The Filet Oscar was on special and it was devine! If you like creamed spinach I recommend you add that as a side. The sirloin was another order at our table and it was cooked to perfection as well. Service was wonderful, our reservation was right on time. Couldn't have asked for a better first experience. Will go back again.Special Features:
- A&LPaulVIPDined on 9/16/2014Love this place. My go to when I'm in town. The people, the vide great steak and some wine.Special Features:
- DeliciousBostonEEDined on 9/14/2014I've only been here a few times, but each time has been great. The only reasons I gave 4 stars instead of 5 were: 1)My drink was not made to order and 2) They are not suited to large groups. That said, the service was Excellent, as was the food.Special Features:
- MehKalfireDined on 9/14/2014Considering this is a Boston "institution" we expected more. Service was terrible, between the waiter forgetting what we ordered, then spilling coffee on my friend. Also the food was just so so. We had the crab cake Benedict, and they served it less than 5 minutes after we ordered which can only make you question it's freshness. So overall a blah experience that cost us $70 for a very basic brunch.
- Sadly DisappointedGrams6Dined on 9/13/2014From our non- greeting at the door to our very noisy table near the bar to our requested new table we were very disappointed. Our meat was over cooked - medium instead of medium rare, my filet was tough to cut and chew and the baked potato very undercooked. My husband 's Delmonico steak was tasty but overdone. We did enjoy the scallop appetizer and our waiter was excellent and I am sorry I don't remember his name . We tried this restaurant instead of our "go to" favorite steak house and wine bar and so wished we had stayed with our former tradition. It was our anniversary and I felt like we wasted our time and money trying this restaurant.
- Abe & Louie's Exceeds Expectations!miloVIPDined on 9/13/2014Saturday lunch for a group of six was absolutely divine. Excellent service, outstanding food, lively ambiance...what more could we ask for? I am a tough critic when it comes to my food and drink. A&L won me over with the first sip of their specialty cocktail, the Judy Garland. Clams Casino was ever so slightly over salted, but delicious nonetheless. The Lobster Salad is not to be missed, and the halibut filet was cooked to perfection. Everyone in our party raved about their food, and we were very happy hosts indeed. Will definitely be back next time we travel to Boston!Special Features:
- Great steaksbackbayfoodieVIPDined on 9/12/2014Probably overall our favorite steak restaurant in Boston. Try the bone-in filet, as good as any steak in town. Very loud, so don't go for a quiet dinner for two, but if you want something which is rocking until late in the evening, it's the place to go. Get reservations or prepare to wait a while.Special Features:
- It was a perfect eveningRomantic2DineDined on 9/12/2014The fiood was great. The waiter was great and and company I was in was perfect! It was the best place for a romantic night!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- exceptional food and servicemayihavesecondsDined on 9/11/2014The food is amazing. Not a bad thing on the menu and it is always cooked perfectly when we'very gone. It was where we had our first date and love to go back as often as we can.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- SandyWeberDined on 9/11/2014Wonderful place for a special occasion. The food was wonderful the service was fantastic and the ambience really needed a special evening. It was my daughter's birthday and I believe she'll always remember that special time at Abe and Louie's. We will certainly go back again when another special occasion is upon usSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- AbesfansDined on 9/10/2014My family and I find Abe & Louie's a step above other high end restaurants such as Capital Grill and Mortons as it has a more personal feeling it's not as stuffy and we feel that the food is superior in quality. We rave about it after each time we visit them. Thanks for making us feel so comfortableSpecial Features:
- Twenty fifth anniversary dinnerJustJackDined on 9/9/2014Due to recent surgery, my wife and I decided to postpone our twenty fifth anniversary trip until next spring and decided to celebrate our actual anniversary with dinner at Abe & Louie's. We scheduled the dinner at 6:15, which worked out really well. We had great service, were alone for most of the meal and it was quiet. Both our steaks were cooked to the proper temperature, thave a great wine list and we were easily able to find something in our price range. Our waiter brought us dessert and champagne compliments of Abe & Louie's to celebrate our anniversary. It was a great meal and a great experience. I recommend Abe &Louie's to anyone looking for a great meal at a local Boston steakhouse instead of one of the big chains.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent ServiceTexasDinerDined on 9/8/2014The service is very organized and efficient. The staff definitely take an interest in the customer and have a high level if knowledge of the food and restaurant. Loved the atmosphere.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A Boston Institutionleo3Dined on 9/7/2014Boston at its finest, Abe & Louie's stands the test of time in providing choice meals including seafood selections but let's cut to the chase; this establishment is a carnivore's delight. Aged steaks prepared so masterfully they may bring a tear to your eye.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Solid entrées, bread not so greatbostonchopsDined on 9/7/2014Party of 3 -- we had the Prime Rib, the Bone-In Aged Prime Ribeye, and the Halibut (non-menu special). All fantastic, but the quality of the bread served before the entrées was really ordinary compared to the wonderful bread served just down the street at the Atlantic Fish Company.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DDDDVIPDined on 9/7/2014Very good food and service. Very attractive option for brunch.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 9/7/2014always a reliable restaurant. Food & service always exceed my expectations.Special Features:
- Good food. Nice atmosphereOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/6/2014Good food and top shelf waiter. Three of the four entrees were fabulous. The petit filet was not great, although I did not send it back. Our waiter was very attentive and I'm sure would have rectified the situation had I said something. We attempted a drink at the bar when we arrived at the restaurant and were disappointed with the bartender. He was rude and condescending when we asked for a particular Cabernet.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always a good bet but LoudEastWestCoastGirlDined on 9/6/2014We're a table of four on a Saturday night. It was busy busy-busy of course. The food is always consistently great but having to scream your conversation takes a lot away from an evening out. Without much for soft surfaces, the place is extremely loud when its packed. The waiter left me without my glass of wine while the rest of the table sat there with drinks not wanting to be impolite by taking a sip. I had to flag him down and he had attitude when I asked about it. I dig A&L for refreshment after shopping in the area but I would avoid it on the busy weekend nights.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Should have been betterNewportRegularDined on 9/6/2014Overall experience was fair - 3 out of the 4 steaks that we ordered were served not as we ordered! My son and I both ordered our filets medium - both were served medium rare! My other son ordered his medium well - was served well done! The waiter asked him if he wanted his filet butterflied - That should never be an option! If a restaurant that prides itself on serving top quality steaks can not cook a steak properly - it has no business charging the prices they charge. Our bill came to $450. For that amount of money EVERYTHING should have been cooked to perfection. Very disappointing!Special Features:
- Always great food and ServiceCarlyDined on 9/6/2014Having my wedding reception there so went in to see the Louie Louie room and had some Oysters (Bleu Point). Staff and food always amazing. I go back every chance I get!Special Features:
- My second time.BogiDined on 9/5/2014The Aged Prime Ribey is awesome. I can't have that good beefsteak in Iceland. So I am always looking forward to come here. Thanks.Special Features:
- Always goodDiningExpertDined on 9/5/2014My experiences, 11-13 times a year, at Abe and Louie's is always GOOD! Good to great service all the time, great steaks, good mix to decide if you want to sit outside or in dining room or at bar. Good stuff all the time!Special Features:
- Great steaksLovetoeatVIPDined on 9/4/2014Started off with a great martini with stuffed blue cheese olives. Paul was our waiter and was friendly and very thorough. New England clam chowder was excellent and the Caesar salad was very good. We ordered the filet mignon and the prime rib. When they came out both were undercooked. I was worried because usually its never good after they come back out. Well this time the food came back and was terrific. They also bought desert for us which was quite nice. The manager stopped by and was really sociable and caring. A+ will come backI would recommend this to a friend.
- Great restaurantHealthyMomDined on 9/3/2014We had a wonderful dinner here. The rolls come out in a cast iron skillet and are piping hot. The steaks are great and the sides are amazing and big enough for sharing. We had a salad with goat cheese and dried cherries which was wonderful. They have tables outside if you want and the tables upstairs are more private. Great place for a special dinner.Special Features:
- Great food, good service, all good!HurstdocVIPDined on 8/31/2014From the minute you are greeted you know that you have found a restaurant that takes care of its customers. The martinis were perfect and generous. The hot and salty rolls are outstanding. The service was genial and lovely and all of the food was very good. The sweet potato fries are outstanding.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- This was my 6th visitSteveDined on 8/31/2014to A and L. I had never been disappointed and maybe that's the problem. Standards were always so high when they weren't met, it was a bit disappointing. The biggest let down was the steak. It was good but not off the charts. Frankly, I had a steak last week at Bone Fish that was better. Service was good if a bit mechanical. I bought the house label wine pinot and it was ok. Settle for two glasses of Caymus and you'll save money and get a great wine. The place was lively. We were seated quickly. All in all, the experience was good just not great. However, I'll be back.Special Features:
- JSullVIPDined on 8/31/2014Great dining experience was had by all. Things have improved since last couple of visits.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- keep the babies at homeeatoutalotVIPDined on 8/30/2014except for the fact that the hostess wanted to seat us next to a table with a stroller and a very noisy toddler, once we were seated at a better location, our meal was very good. We sat upstairs, which was incredible they made these people drag the stroller up the steps. Unfortunately we were still within ear shot, as were everyone else on the floor. It was very annoying, and yes I have kids. I just never inconvenienced an entire dining room with them. Either leave them home, go earlier, or take them outside when they are screaming. It's not CUTE ! Yes I would come back to this restaurant. However, you may want to think about an age policy for kids. A lot of nice restaurants restrict kids under 6 after 6pm.
- Overpriced unremarkable foodChristineDined on 8/30/2014We have dined at this restaurant 3 times. The first time was 4 years ago and we were pleased with our meals and service. The last two were very average. We were a party of 5 and 4 respectively. The restaurant is incredibly loud making it almost impossible to carry on a conversation. The ceasar salad was bland and risotto overcooked. Steaks were fine and the chicken was good. The wine list is average but the pricing rivals The Spanish Bay Inn, CA. That would be fine if the wines justified the high price.Special Features:
- Perfect nightJMCBostonDined on 8/30/2014We had a delicious meal at Abe and Louie's. It was a great way to celebrate my husband's 40th birthday. It is pricey but perfect for a special occasion, and in this case, you get what you pay for. Service is impeccable and our food was perfect.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Awesome staffLucky1313Dined on 8/29/2014My wife and I hadn't been out for a date night in a long time so I made reservations for 9pm. We got lucky and got a seat at the bar where two of the best bartenders I've come across in a long time friendly Dillon and Sean. We actually canceled our 9pm and stayed at the bar and had a great dinner and drinks per there suggestions. The night couldn't of been any better.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Kind of a "churn nand burn"OpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 8/29/2014This restaurant was recommended to us by some friends and we make reservations there while in Boston for our 10 year anniversary. We felt that it was a place for tourists and the goal was to get you in and out. Needless to say we were disappointed in the food......way too many people and not that service we expected for the price. I feel like Capitol Grille or Ruth Chris has better service!Special Features:
- Wonderful steakhouse!TastySunshineDined on 8/29/2014Great service, amazing steakhouse, and large side order portions. This place was a great recommendation from a friend and I am so glad we tried it. I highly recommend the bone-in Filet Mignon, the spinach and mushroom side, and the butterscotch bread pudding for dessert. But everything was amazing and well worth the price. They also have great cocktails and I heard women in the washroom raving about the oysters too.Special Features:
- Not so good restaurant week lunchYoungjiDined on 8/29/2014Everything that they sell as regulat menu seemed really delicious. However, restaurant menu was a little week ; small portion of entree. I would go back to try the lobster sandwich tho.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- THE Place to go on Boylston StreetNewatBUDined on 8/28/2014The best wine list dollar for dollar in that part of Boston! The carpaccio is not as described on the menu, it is a meal in itself, and finely prepared. Probably the best I have ever had; crab cake was not far behind. Portions are generous, so one needs not to over order!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Exceptional experienceOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 8/28/2014If you're looking for a five-star experience, this is it! Abe and Louie's made an exquisite sirloin steak and backed it up with great sides and phenomenal service. I really appreciate that the waiter went out of his way to accommodate the allergies of two people in our party. This was the best steak I've had in Boston so far!Special Features:

pumpkin muffins
See, now I'm a girl who keeps my promises, eh? About everything but picking up the dry-cleaning, at least. As I expected, these pumpkin muffins were a cinch, which is good, because I expect that from my muffins. They should max out at two bowls for prep, you should be able to mix them by hand and there shouldn't be any excessively difficult steps. It's not rocket science.
This recipe was all of that, plus, I discovered something – you know how they always say not to over-mix muffins? A large wire whisk, when mixing by hand, really allows you to incorporate all of the drying ingredients quickly without mashing them up too much. It's made it much harder to overdo it, despite my better efforts.
And now, the part where I am a moron, because what entry would be complete without a little self-deprecation? Evidence the first: the recipe calls for a solid-pack pumpkin puree. What did I buy? Pumpkin pie filling; you know, the stuff doctored up with sugar and spices and some crap with a lot of letters. In my first attempt at the batter, I had already mixed the sugar with the eggs and oil when I realized the pumpkin already had enough sugar. So, I dumped it (please don't ask where, because the state of our kitchen drain is unappetizing at best). But, then it turned out that maybe the pumpkin pie filling didn't have enough sugar, but at this point (evidence the second) I had run out. Of sugar. It baffled me too. The muffins could use some more, both sugar and spice, which was by the way the other thing that I skipped, assuming the pie filling had enough. Well, meh, not enough for my tastes.

HIGHLAND | Redevelopment and revitalization are common threads woven through Highland's immediate past, present and future.
Michael Griffin has a unique feel for the fabric of progress in Highland as the town's longtime clerk-treasurer.
The most significant revitalization was the retrofit and reconstruction of the Lincoln Center, said Griffin, who recently received the Russell J. Lloyd Distinguished Service Award.
The two-year renovation concluded last year with an almost completely rebuilt center, which sports the old field house and new facilities, including a fitness center, banquet hall, dance room, meeting rooms, classrooms, offices and a day care center.
Last year also saw work begin on a new Culver's restaurant to replace a vacant gas station at Ridge Road and Cline Avenue.
Griffin also noted that Team Toyota left for Schererville — but Volkswagen of Orland Park is becoming Volkswagen of Highland as it moves into the same spot on Indianapolis Boulevard.
"We're especially proud that Strack & Van Til decided to invest here" by building their corporate headquarters in town, said Griffin, who has been Highland's clerk-treasurer for 21 years.
He noted that Strack's positive impact will be even bigger since it recently acquired Ultra Foods, Town & Country Food Market, Wise Way Foods and Pay Low Foods.
Griffin said Highland also is committed to existing businesses as the downtown facade program continues to grow. Traditions Restaurant and Apex Construction have beautiful new exteriors and Les Brothers Restaurant & Pancake House hopes to renovate its facade this year.
"I believe the (Town) Council is committed to continuing their record of public improvement" this year, Griffin said.
The council is talking about building a new public safety center, which would mean a new home for the Police and possibly the Fire Department, Griffin said.
"I expect they will continue the work of improving the stormwater and wastewater systems through the sanitary district."
Looking beyond the new year, Griffin said the Redevelopment Commission will continue revitalizing and improving the town.
It will work to ensure that businesses stay in Highland by nurturing a favorable business climate, Griffin said.
A natural complement to this is recruiting new businesses for Highland, he said.
Griffin noted that Highland is 102 years old, which means that redevelopment is needed to keep the town fresh and vital.
Areas that are underdeveloped need to be developed — and already developed areas need help to "make them new."
Further into the future, residents might see a retrofitting or reconstruction of the existing Town Hall, Griffin said.
Recreation may also get royal treatment in the coming years, Griffin said, as the town's bike trail might be connected to Wicker Park, which connects to Hammond. This would help create an unbroken bike path stretching from Crown Point to Chicago, Griffin said. It will be made possible by the demolition of the old Community Bridge on the boulevard north of Ridge Road.
New businesses might sprout along the lowered road that is replacing the bridge, Griffin said.

Our strategy
Improve life in the country's most isolated, vulnerable regions by supporting economic development, youth development and environmental sustainability.
The context
India's northern regions are home to some of the poorest and neglected communities in the country. India's tea-growing region and Kashmir have long struggled with conflict and are fragmented by social and political unrest that leave the economy faltering. Millions of people are also extremely vulnerable to disasters and the effects of climate change, which increasingly threaten their safety and livelihoods.
Our work
- Women & Gender: Support the literacy of female tea workers and improve graduation rates for their children
- Agriculture & Food: Providing training and links to markets so spice farmers can make more from their crops
- Health: Building new latrines and sanitation facilities in Darjeeling to limit the spread of waterborne disease
- Economic opportunity: Connecting youth in Kashmir with technical training and incentives to start business ventures
- Children & Youth: Fostering conflict resolution skills and community engagement among young people in Kashmir

M&A and layoffs at Electronic Arts
Companies are laying off and buying new businesses at the same time
Electronic Arts (ERTS) did something today that is almost never seen in the corporate world. It made a big acquisition and fired 1,500 of its workers, or 17% of the total staff, on the same day.
EA bought online social media game company Playfish, which makes the popular "Pet Society" for $275 million in cash (plus bonuses if the company performs well after the transaction).
Playfish is only two years old. It is not likely that the small firm is making money, at least not enough to financially justify EA's large offer. EA trades for 1.5 times annual revenue, so Playfish would have to have revenue of nearly $200 million to have a similar a valuation similar to its new parent. Playfish isn't that large.
EA's revenue for the quarter ending September 30 was $778 million, down from $894 in the same period a year ago. The company had a net loss of $391 million compared to $310 million last year.
The 1,500 layoffs at EA will save about $100 million and cause a restructuring charge of $130 million to $150 million.
The firm could have decided against buying Playfish and paid for the workers that it fired for two years. But, big businesses are forever chasing rainbows, social media has become essential to the life of the Internet, at least in the minds of many, due to the rise of MySpace, Facebook, and Twitter.
The fact that none of those three companies does well financially does not seem to matter to EA. It is a company that has to show Wall Street that it can diversify beyond the normal video game console and internet gaming worlds.
Perhaps the universe of social networking will bring it a newfound prosperity, even though there are no indications that social networks are a real business yet. EA is a company that is running out of options to improve business, and it shows in the firm's financial results.
Sprint (S) was cutting 2,500 people at about the same time that EA was making its announcement. Sprint said that it would put $1.5 billion, along with Intel (INTC) and Time Warner Cable (TWC), into Clearwire (CLWR), its partner in building wireless WiMax technology. Sprint will save about $350 million from its cost-cutting. That should nearly cover the money it will invest in Clearwire.
The Sprint and EA news is all about leaving the past behind and hoping that managements' best guesses about what will make future profits turn out to be true.
Sprint believes that if it can get to market with super-fast wireless service that it can take customers from AT&T (T) and Verizon Wireless (VZ), something it has not been able to do up until now. EA believes that the video game business is moving online faster and faster and that marketing games through social networks will bring in new revenue.
Playfish and WiMax may never be money-makers, but EA and Sprint are both struggling to find ways to make themselves successful again. The temptation to find the success in technology that is new and untried is tremendous.
Defending the future is easier that defending the past, especially at companies that have not done well.

Saint Clare's Foundation to Hold Annual Spring Gala on May 4
Event honors Emergency Physicians of Saint Clare's, LLC, Dr. Alma Ratcliffe and Dr. Robert and Mary Mulholland for their contributions to Saint Clare's and the community
April 3, 2012
Saint Clare's Annual Spring Gala, the Foundation's largest and most important fundraiser – raising unrestricted funds that enable Saint Clare's to provide area residents the highest quality healthcare possible – will be held on Friday, May 4, 2012 at the Westmount Country Club in Woodland Park, New Jersey.
This year, Saint Clare's Foundation will be awarding Emergency Physicians of Saint Clare's, LLC with the 2012 Leadership Award, Dr. Alma S. Ratcliffe with the 2012 Physician Humanitarian Award and Dr. Robert and Mary Mulholland with the Lifetime Achievement Award for their outstanding dedication and support to Saint Clare's.
"The Gala is an opportunity for Saint Clare's to recognize the commitment that our honorees have made to Saint Clare's," said Leslie D. Hirsch, president and CEO of Saint Clare's Health System. "Saint Clare's provides high quality and advanced care, and through the support of our Gala we are able to further our mission to the communities we serve."
2012 Leadership Award
Saint Clare's Foundation will present the 2012 Leadership Award to the Emergency Physicians of Saint Clare's, LLC, which is led by Rohan Somar, MD, FACEP, FAAEM, Chairman / Medical Director of Emergency Department. The group was founded in 2002 with a mission to provide the highest quality emergency care to the community. With 24 doctors and 10 physician assistants, they provide 24-hour clinical coverage to Saint Clare's emergency departments in Denville, Dover and Sussex. The 2012 Leadership Award is a statement of their outstanding philanthropic support and commitment to the mission and spirit of Saint Clare's Health System.
2012 Physician Humanitarian Award
The 2012 Physician Humanitarian Award will be presented to Alma S. Ratcliffe, MD, Executive Vice President, Medical Affairs at Saint Clare's Health System. With more than 20 years at Saint Clare's Health System, Dr. Ratcliffe exemplifies the principles and values of a humanitarian. She has worked tirelessly in quality, patient safety, medical staff affairs, and made many improvements that have recognized Saint Clare's as a leader in healthcare in the community. Saint Clare's recognizes Dr. Ratcliffe with the 2012 Physician Humanitarian Award for her outstanding volunteer service, charity, compassion for patients and her devotion to Saint Clare's Health System.
Lifetime Achievement Award
Saint Clare's will recognize Dr. Robert and Mary Mulholland with this special Lifetime Achievement Award for their dedication to Saint Clare's Health System. Mary Mulholland has worked passionately for the community for more than 50 years through her work at Saint Clare's Health System and the Auxiliary, and by leading the crusade against drug and alcohol abuse. Her work honors Robert, her late husband of 38 years, and has inspired her six children and 17 grandchildren. This special Lifetime Achievement Award is in recognition of Mary's accomplishments, her tenacity in raising awareness for those in need, her impact as a role model for younger generations, and as a special tribute to Dr. Mulholland, who gave his time and love to those in need.
Also featured at the 2012 Annual Spring Gala will be live entertainment by The Infernos, known as "America's #1 Show Band," whose lineup includes Kenny Simmons, former member of Motown Records three-time Grammy Award-winning group, The Commodores.
The event is organized by the Gala committee, which is led by Gala Co-Chairs Gale Bott and Ann McManus, Saint Clare's Foundation Board Members, who volunteer their time to benefit Saint Clare's Health System. "The event is a fun and exciting way to support Saint Clare's Health System with an evening of music, dancing and bidding with a variety of items from exotic vacations to the latest electronic devices," said Ann McManus.
Gale Bott added, "In addition to recognizing our award recipients for their contributions to Saint Clare's, the funds earned from this event benefit Saint Clare's and their commitment to extraordinary family-centered care and the health of our community."
In advance of the event, the online auction will be live on April 4, and the community may preview and place bids by visiting www.saintclaresfoundation.org/auction through May 3 – bidding will continue at the event on May 4. Additionally, the Saint Clare's Foundation is sponsoring a 50/50 Cash Raffle for this year's event with proceeds to benefit Saint Clare's Health System.

Firefighters in Oklahoma City made an unusual rescue after a woman got herself stuck in a donation bin.
The woman dropped off several bags of clothing at a thrift store. When she got home, she realized she had dropped a tennis bracelet inside the bin, so she went back the next day to try and get it, leading to her awkward situation.
She was able to call 911 from inside the container.
"I came down here and was kind of was looking around, looking around, looking around and I got inside it. And I have MS [Multiple Sclerosis] so it doesn't take much before I start really cramping up and hurting, you know. And I can't get out," the woman said.
The woman was stuck in the bin for about 2 1/2 hours until she was rescued. She never did find the bracelet she was looking for.
