Q: Where can a scholar go on an OLF Award?
A: Scholars must go to a college or university in the United States and its territories, including Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and Guam. OLF may not be used to attend conferences. Scholars can go to any institution including large research institutes; however scholars must supplement those visits with a second visit to a targeted institution. These include Minority Serving Institutions, Community Colleges, Small Liberal Arts Institutes or Geographically underrepresented regions. For a complete list of targeted institutions, please click here.
Q: What documentation is needed for the approval process?
A: Institutions must submit the OLF application form together with an invitation letter on behalf of the scholar. Fulbright Visiting Scholars being requested must submit a copy of their Social Security Number (SSN) or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN).
Q: How many OLF awards can a scholar receive?
A: Preference will be given to scholars who have not yet completed an OLF, however CIES/IIE will review application requests for scholars who have already completed an OLF.

A: The scholar is responsible for making her/his travel arrangements and purchasing the travel tickets.
Q: Can scholars go to more than one institution during an OLF award?

Q: How is the OLF travel award amount determined?
A: The award amount is based on a fare available for travel on the date the application is approved, rounded up to the nearest $50. The CIES OLF contact will email the scholar an approval letter and a copy of a travel itinerary, including fare, for reference. For example, if a fare of $321 is available, the OLF award amount will be $350. The scholar may choose to use the route in the sample itinerary or not. The scholar is encouraged to purchase tickets for the OLF travel promptly upon receiving the approval letter. Waiting until closer to the travel date to purchase tickets may result in higher travel costs. The award amount is set the date the trip is approved and is not changed based on actual costs.

Recipe by JUDY/AZ
"A coating of garlic butter, soft white bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese and parsley makes this simple oven chicken dish sassy as well!"
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1 clove
crushed garlic
1/4 pound
butter, melted
1 cup
dried bread crumbs
1/3 cup
grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons
chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon
1/8 teaspoon
ground black pepper
1 (4 pound)
chicken, cut into pieces
This was really terrific. I altered it to four boneless, skinless breasts. I cut all the coating ingredients in half except for the garlic and the parmesan cheese (I grate mine fresh, and recommend that!). Since I had cut down the butter, I brushed the garlic butter onto the chicken with a pastry brush rather than dipping the chicken into the butter. There was a ton of coating mix leftover, so after I drizzled the leftover garlic butter onto the chicken as recommended, I then dumped some of the remaining coating on top of the chicken when it was already in the pan. I baked it for about 40 minutes. It was really fantastic - made the whole house smell delicious - it was moist and really flavorful. My kids both loved it. I will definitely make this again. I can only imagine that if it is made with the skin on the chicken, it is probably incredible. But it worked extremely well prepared as above.
It was good but nothing like regular fried chicken. Used the leftovers the next day in a huge green salad with homemade ranch. tasted better in that than as an entree.

Wonderful recipe! I used boneless chicken breasts that I pounded down thin. For the bread crumbs I used Italian style and added a mxiture of spices (Italian seasoning, crushed rosemary, oregano, basil) along with the Parmesan cheese, parsley, salt and pepper basically eyeballing everything. 1/4 pound of butter is 1/2 cup and I added a bit more garlic than called for to that as I love garlic. I baked my chicken at 375 for 35 minutes and it was done perfectly - moist and juicy, not dry at all with a wonderful crispy coating.
My family loved this chicken. The only thing I did differently from the recipe is I set the oven to 375 degrees, I put the breasts in about 15 minutes before the other pieces so the smaller pieces didn't get overdone and I used a jelly roll pan instead of a 13 X 9 pan to promote crispiness. The chicken was VERY crispy and juicy. Loved it!!
This was the best oven fried chicken I have ever had. Usaually I don't eat oven fried anything, but WOW!!!. I could not help but think while I was eating this, (this sure beats all the oil and fat that I would be eating if this was my normal deep fried chicken and on top of that this is really crunchy and Gooood!!!). I used Italian bread crumbs and I used chicken wings. If you do not like or can not have a lot of salt cut the amount in half, then sprinkle a little bit on after dipping into the butter, I used seasoning salt. I double dipped my chicken because I had so much breading left over and hate to waste. Then poured
remaining butter mixture over chicken then baked. What ever you do try this recipe, IT'S THE BOMB!!!!!.
VERY good recipe! I despise frying chicken, so have been in search of the best oven-fried recipe for a while. I can stop searching. This recipe is easy and very flavorful! The coating comes out nice and crispy, and stays that way when reheated as leftovers.
Very good, you could omit the bread crumbs, add extra parm and stick to a no carb diet if you prefer, very tasty either way.
Fantastic recipe. Thanks, Judy! I have made this several times. Family and guests really love it!I normally make my own bread crumbs, but I was out and no bread in the house. I substituted crushed cornflakes.I eliminated the melted butter and instead, spread the chicken with a mixture of dijon and mayo. Then carefully patted on the cornflake, cheese and parsley mixture.Place in the greased pan then dropped small bits of butter onto each breast. Wow! The dijon/mayo really zipped up this recipe! Now everyone asks for seconds!

|Waterside Dining in Vermont
One of the new Vermont travel blogs I've been reading for the past few months is called Love Vermont. It's written by Katherine Kerrigan who describes herself as a "girl who fell in love with a state and a state of mind" which is actually a common situation in Vermont and one that applies to me and many others who find their way here as well.
Her blog yesterday is especially helpful for Vermont travelers looking to find unique dining experiences. "top ten tuesdays - waterfront dining" is a great little article with quick reviews of the best dining next to lakes, ponds, and rivers throughout the state.
I've only eaten at four of the ten restaurants so I have some work to do. But in a state awash in great dining, it takes more than the decade I've been here to get to a large number of them let alone all of them. But that's part of the charm I suppose - the never ending discovery of new places to enjoy Vermont.
One word of advice about one of the restaurants, Hen of the Wood located near me in Waterbury: it is a small restaurant that is highly popular so reservations well in advance are always a good idea. The waterside here is a nice waterfall and river immediately behind the old brick mill building which houses the restaurant. See my January 11, 2009 blog post which has a winter photo (ice and snow) of the falls but will give you and idea of the setting during more hospitable weather.
Love Vermont is one of several fine Vermont blogs I have included in the right hand column of Vermont Travel Notes under the heading Travel Friends. I recommend going through it for ideas of things to see and do while traveling Vermont. There are a lot of good ideas there written by people who love Vermont and love to share their knowledge.

|Round Barn Inn on YouTube
The Inn at the Round Barn is one of my favorite places in Vermont. It's in a beautiful valley a few minutes drive from the village of Waitsfield. It's not only a great place to stay but also the perfect venue for a Vermont country wedding if you're in the market for such a dream event.
Dave Hartshorn, shown in the video, owns a farm and farm stand nearby on Route 100 - - about half way between my inn and the Inn at the Round Barn. He has vegetables, maple syrup, honey, and other goodies on hand most of the summer and early fall. It's worth a stop just to see rural Vermont at work.
I have had the good fortune to sample some of chef Charlie Menard's creations and I am happy to confirm that his work is outstanding.

|Tour Vermont With an Expert Photographer
Here's a great way to get a personalized tour of the most picturesque parts of Vermont and also get some help in photographing it all. It's like getting two for the price of one!
Steve Mermelstein is a professional photographer who
makes a living doing commercial, fine art, and wedding photography. He also operates VT Photo Tours, a company in South Burlington Vermont that escorts small groups of people to photograph some of the most picturesque scenery around this beautiful state. You can see some client samples here.
Not only does Steve know where to go, he knows what time of day to be there to get the best light. As someone who has found a great scene but was unable to get a good photo because I was facing straight into the sun, I know the value of being at the right place at the right time.
As Steve says on his website, "Youll have opportunities to take photographs of breathtaking landscapes, lakes, ponds, classic and historic architecture in small villages, covered bridges, barns and farm scenes, and/or visit locations where wildlife is often observed."
Plus, he's very willing to modify the tour to meet client requests.
Prices vary from $299 for a half day tour to $399.99 for a full day (up to 3 persons) and usually concentrates on northern VT but he is happy to accommodate southern VT tours for a small additional gas fee. Groups larger than three are welcome too.
Steve even has a money back guarantee! See the website for more details and contact information.
Right now he is booking both Spring and Fall foliage foliage tours.
Steve is on Facebook and Twitter.

|Vermont Travel Videos on MSN
MSN has an online video series hosted by Andrew Zimmern in which he travels around the country recording interesting places to visit, usually focused on food. Zimmern was host of the Travel Channel show, "Bizarre Foods" and now hosts Travel Channel's "Bizarre World" in addition to being a chef, writer, and teacher.
Zimmern was recently in my area of Vermont to visit Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream, Little River Hotglass Studio, and Cold Hollow Cider Mill. He doesn't just visit though - he gets right into production, creating his own Ben & Jerry's flavor in the test room, blowing a glass jar at Little River Hotglass, and making cider doughnuts at Cold Hollow.
These Appetite for Life. episodes are a good way to get some behind-the-scenes views of popular attractions in Vermont and elsewhere.

|Alchemist Brewpub Update
The Alchemist Brewery and Pub is one of the most popular spots in this area for tourists and residents alike. Anyone who is a beer lover should put The Alchemist on your must-do list (bucket list?). It's located on South Main Street in Waterbury VT.
To keep up with what brewer John Kimmich is preparing, you can subscribe to the blog RSS feed. A recent entry talks about the gluten free offerings as well as other Summer Time Beers. John started preparing gluten free beer and food offerings after his wife and co-owner Jennifer discovered she needs to consume gluten-free products.
The food there is excellent so be sure to give it a try too. Executive Chef Jeff Lang uses a lot of locally grown fresh produce in his imaginative menu which you can look over on the website before you arrive.

|Vermont Moose
Mad River Glen moose population has grown by two this year.
One of the most frequent questions we get here at the inn is "where can we go to see a moose?" There are several areas nearby where the possibility is greater but sighting a moose is a rare occurrence even for people who live and work in the forests.
The moose photo at the top of this Vermont Travel Notes blog is a good example. It was taken by a guest in early November several years ago while he was driving on Route 100 between Warren and Granville VT, a popular place to spot moose because of the swampy areas alongside the road. It's not a particularly good photo because he quickly took the shot through the car windshield. He got some better quality photos after he stopped the car and got out but by then the moose was into the woods and walking away so the angle of the photo does not work well. But he was lucky to see it at all. If he had left here a minute earlier or a minute later he would have missed the moose entirely. That's moose spotting for you (or seeing any unusual wildlife for that matter).
I have seen two moose this year but that is very unusual. Most years I don't see any. We have one walking through our property about once a month but we never see it. He or she comes through late at night and all we see are the footprints the next day.
Last winter, we had a few skier guests tell us of seeing a moose near the trails at Mad River Glen. One of them even hit the moose after coming around a corner and seeing it standing right in front of him. He reacted fast enough to squat down so he only bumped the moose a little bit. It must not have bothered the moose too much because it merely looked at the skier for a moment and then walked slowly into the woods.
The moose above may be the same one and, as you can see, it's a female with two calves it had this year. This moose photo and other Mad River Glen photos can be seen on the Gallery page at the Mad River Glen web site.
So, if you want to go moose spotting, the best area is the most remote part of Vermont, the Northeast Kingdom as it's known. Just try the roads around the town of Island Pond. Even if you don't see a moose, it's a beautiful area to do some sight seeing. Stop in some of the local country stores and ask around about where people have seen moose lately.

Comments On Jul 31, 2015:This rotor looks great, performs great and takes a hit! Had a 4 inch tree branch jam into my rotor, swing arm and axle, it was in there good. The rotor had cut half way through the branch. After removing it the rotor didn't even have a scratch (Lonestar swing arm and Durablue axle didn't fair so well) checked it for a warping and it still spun true. Tusk products are top of the line, should have paid double the price for this quality rotor

Comments On May 08, 2015:I bought one of these rotors for an old 400ex I had years ago. I replaced it with a set of closeout sintered brake pads at the same time. That quad had a rough life and through all the abuse the rotor (and pads) always worked great and never warped or worn out. better than an OEM rotor in my opinion. The wave style rotor looks good as well on any sport quad, and it is less expensive than other bigger brands while retaining quality.

Comments On Apr 28, 2015:For the price, I was just expecting a replacement stock rotor, but it seems to be a stronger rotor than the original one I had! Very happy with tusk on this one!

Commodore charger Shane Van Gisbergen has blitzed the field to win the third MSS Security-backed V8 Supercars Challenge race at the 2013 Formula 1 Rolex Australian Grand Prix.
On a wet track, the 23-year-old old delivered a master class, vaulting through from ninth on the grid to win the 12-lap race by a massive 12.6072 seconds from Craig Lowndes, with Jonathan Webb in third to make it a Commodore clean sweep of the top spots.
Van Gisbergen also set the fastest lap of the race with a 2:11.6281, nearly a second ahead of Webb's best.
"It was so slippery out there, but also great fun at the start with plenty of passing," said Van Gisbergen.
"When it started raining, a lot of people were saying that it would be great for me because I like the wet – but like most drivers I actually hate it, as your boots get wet!
"I really can't tell you why I go so fast in the wet, but it was pretty cool to win."
The majority of the drivers started on grooved tyres, but the race still produced the full staple of wet-weather antics, including spins, braking lock-ups and eye-catching tail action – with Lowndes one of the 'worst' offenders.
Early race leader and already a two-time winner at Albert Park this campaign, Fabian Coulthard (Commodore), finished in a lonely fourth, ahead of David Reynolds (Falcon) and Jason Bright (Commodore).
A number of big names finished outside the top 10, including Mark Winterbottom (Falcon) and Jamie Whincup (Commodore) – although the latter did start from the tail of the field after copping a sanction in race two for spinning his tyres while it was still jacked up in the pits.
There was no pit stop action in race three, however, as the rules allow them to be waived when the drivers are on wet tyres.
Meanwhile, Garth Tander's miserable weekend continued when he broke a steering arm on his factory Commodore, while German Maro Engel (Mercedes) was the only other DNF.
The fourth and final race is at 1:20pm tomorrow, where grid positions will be decided on the cumulative points score across the first three races – which will leave Coulthard starting from top spot.

City I Love: Yogyakarta, I'm in Love
Posted on : 20 November 2012
Categories : Travelings - Culture and Heritage
Yogyakarta is a popular destination for both domestic and international tourists. It's a special region located in the island of Java. The city is full of five stars hotels to comfort your sleep, top notch services to ease your travel, a haven for the shopping fanatics and fancy restaurants to satisfy your tongue.
Stop right there.
Yes all those mouth-watering offers might let you enjoy Yogyakarta, but the best way to embrace the city is to do what the locals do. So, leave your five stars hotel slippers and abandon the fancy taxi, get on a becak instead and I'll show you why I fell in love with this city in the first place.
It was love at first sight. I was born here, back when bikes used to rule the city and the streets were not so crowded as today. At the age of 2, I left the city and then came back there to continue my study in senior high school and university. Of course, by the time I came back, things have changed. Bikes were replaced by motorbikes and the streets were more crowded. Nevertheless, there was a familiarity in the city that wouldn't let me hate it.
The Tradition
Yogyakarta's official name is Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta which is literally translated to "The Special Region of Yogyakarta". Why is it special, you might ask? It is special because it is governed by a Sultan who is equivalent to a king and lives in a palace. It has the splendor of active volcano called the Merapi as well as the legendary famous beach Parangtritis and myths about it. Hundreds of rituals and traditions which are relatively normal to the locals but excitingly fascinating for travelers or tourists also make this city special.
Getting to know the people of Yogyakarta by knowing and get closer to their traditions. You can start your journey by visiting the palace of the Sultan called Keraton. By visiting the beautiful palace, you will hear myths and rituals being told or perhaps performed if you're lucky enough. If you spot people wearing traditional clothes, these are the helpers of the Keraton. It is said that they work for free as they see it as a service to the Sultan. Though they don't ask for anything in return, the palace usually gives them support, for example food and also education for their children. Say hello or ask them anything when you meet them.
Bakso stall by the Bethesda hospital is a favourite of mine
There are still plenty of food stalls which sell the locals' favorite foods and snacks. Try sate babi (pork satay); you can find it in front of Kranggan street – it opens only at evening. Besides, there is also restaurant, Jejamuran, which offers menus with mushrooms as main ingredient. Try also the famous Thai food Phuket which can be found around the city, the sambal specialist Pondok Cabe and delicious mendoan, the meatball (bakso) which can be found by the side of Bethesda hospital. Those are a few of my favourites.
The People
Last but not least, one more special thing about Yogyakarta is the friendliness of the people of Yogyakarta. As this city is a popular tourism destination and visited by many locals and international tourists, most sellers and people in the transportation systems understand basic English. Having a random conversation with a food seller or with a becak driver is another thing which makes this city so loveable. The flow of the conversation and the cheery responses create a sense of connection to everyone.
You can have a random conversation with almost everyone. I was once in a taxi ride where the driver started speaking Javanese, but then we both laughed because I couldn't understand him. We then started talking about school and traffic.

That you have the confidence that the Steelers could beat. Only team I can think of is the jags without MjD.
That you have the confidence that the Steelers could beat. Only team I can think of is the jags without MjD.
The Vikings 2 days from now.
I don't get it. I thought message boards became more popular and new people signed up if the Steelers were a good team in contention. It's been just the opposite. Trolls galore.
Steelers over Vikings. This is the first one, and there will be others.
My vibe says Steelers by 37-13. Hope my vibe is not broken down.
Narcissistic injury is the term used for any threat to a narcissist's outsized ego or self-esteem.
If the Offense keeps giving the ball away at the same rate as previous games, the Steelers will struggle to beat ANY teams on the remaining schedule. Unfortunately, this defense is not good enough to keep the opponent from scoring on a short field. And it all starts with Roethlisberger.
First of all I am not trolling, let's put it a different way what team would you be willingly to put money on straight up no points.

Solar-Powered Flag Light
Solar light illuminates your flag to display it 24 hours a day.
This ultra-bright flag light is solar-powered--no cords or batteries are needed.
The United States Flag Code tells us that you can display the flag during the hours of darkness, as long as it is properly illuminated. Now you can display your flag proudly 24 hours a day with a wireless, flexible gooseneck solar light. It mounts easily on any flagpole up to 3" diameter. Water-resistant aluminum and stainless-steel light also comes with hardware that allows you to attach it to a porch, deck, wall or front door.
The easiest way to keep your flag clearly visible around the clock.
Light has a unique gooseneck design that makes it easy to set up and adjust to keep your flag well lit. Saves energy, too, as solar panels charge three rechargeable Ni-MH batteries, which are included. Light turns on at dusk and off at dawn, and shines for up to 12 hours per charge. Solar panels are recharged by sunlight and on cloudy days. Two bright LEDs are long-lasting.
Celebrate your country at any time of day with a solar-powered flag light. Order yours from Brookstone® now!

Comments about Solar-Powered Flag Light:
Firstly, I should note that I ordered the product as shown; however, I received a different item from Liberty Light via Brookstone. As it seemed to be of good quality when I received it, I did not return it and opted to keep the one at hand.
With that being said, the light that I received was easy to install and came with simple operating instructions as well as a thorough trouble-shooting guide. The problem that I had with this product is that, after 4 months, the light no longer worked. At first I thought that the batteries had lost their ability to hold a charge, but found that this was not the case. The problem was with the solar collector, which cracked due to customary New England weather conditions.
I attempted to return the product to Brookstone for a new one, but was refused as I no longer had the receipt and it had been more than 2 months since I made the purchase. Fair enough.
As I found the life expectancy of this rather expensive product to be far less than what it was claimed to be, I would not recommend this product to others.

Comments about Solar-Powered Flag Light:
I always thought that the flag had to be lowered at sunset and raised at dawn. It turns out that the United States Flag Code says otherwise. It says that "when a patriotic effect is desired, the flag may be displayed twenty-four hours a day if properly illuminated during the hours of darkness." This solar-powered light does just that. And it needs no wiring. Just attach it to the flagpole and you're all set. It turns on and off automatically to keep your flag lit 24/7.

A woman was receiving medical treatment Friday, police report, for injuries suffered the night before at a Hollywood residence, where they suspect her husband shot and wounded her before he took his own life.
James Daniel Dean, 48, was pronounced dead at the scene of the Thursday night incident at the couple's home on Johnson Road, located off Route 245 near the St. Mary's community's crossroads, according to Maryland State Police. A helicopter crew flew 43-year-old Angela Dean from the scene to the Prince George's Hospital Center.
Angela Dean was in a critical care ward on Friday afternoon, according to an employee at the hospital.
Shortly before midnight on Thursday night, police report, Angela Dean called 911 dispatchers to report that she was having an argument with her husband and that he was loading a gun. During the phone call, which lasted less than one minute, police report, noises that sounded like gunshots were heard in the background.
State police report that their troopers and St. Mary's sheriff's deputies responded to the scene, forced their way into the residence and found James Dean on the living room floor with an apparently self-inflicted gunshot wound. Angela Dean was found nearby, and she was given initial treatment at the scene for her gunshot injuries before she was flown to the hospital.
"She was able to make a brief statement to those [troopers] who were there with her, at the scene," Elena Russo, a state police spokesperson, said on Friday afternoon, adding that the Deans had only lived at that address for a short while. "They had just moved in," Russo said, "in the late fall."

Help support your MeetupChip in
Come meet new people or old friends. You might meet someone! Or you might meet a new friend or simply have some fun.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-mi0r0LpXo
So get off the screen. Stop being a Facebook personality. TV is not real. You are not living it. Stop watching other people acting out life and live your own. :)
After you attend a few Reston Social Scene events, you'll start to know people in the group. This is a very friendly group. Everyone is welcome to join us, as long as you are friendly, too! Adults of all ages are welcome to join. The group is open to everyone: singles, couples, married, divorced, in a relationship, looking, not looking, don't care--JUST WANT TO HAVE FUN!!
A few suggestions:
When you go to your first few Meetups, please take the initiative to introduce yourself to a few people who you recognize from the photos who rsvp'ed for the event. Tell them you are new and ask them to introduce you to other folks. Don't be shy. We have all been there and were nervous when we first joined the group! You can also post that you are a newbie on the event page for the first Meetup that you attend with our group. The event hosts and others in the group will look for you at the Meetup.
If you can't find the group when you arrive then please post it on the event page. Someone will reply back to you and tell you where the group is. You can also ask the staff at the venue. Many times the doorman will know where the group is located.
When you first join the group, keep in mind that it can be difficult to talk to people at the live music events. You may wish to start out by going to a few Happy Hours so you can have the chance to have talk to some new people without competing with loud music in the background.
We often take photos at events. If a photo of you is posted and you don't like the photo then please un-tag yourself and/or contact one of the organizers and we will take the photo down.
Speaking of photos, you must have a recognizable photo of yourself posted on your profile so that we can recognize you at events.
Feel free to suggest and host a Meetup. All you have to do is post it as a "Suggested Meetup." After 3 people sign up an invite is sent to the more than 3,400+ RSS members. (Don't worry, they won't all rsvp for the same event! ;) ) Be sure that you set up a location and date, because otherwise it is just an "idea." Just make sure it isn't "self promotion" or marketing for your business--or it will be deleted.
If you have an idea for a Meetup but don't want to organize and host it then please email Boris or one of the other organizers. We organize happy hours, dinners, concerts, movies, picnics--or whatever you want. Just tell us the event, date/time, and a short description.
Also this site costs $140 a year to operate through meetup.com. PLEASE BUY THE ORGANIZER A DRINK!
See you all at future Reston Social Scene events!! :-)

Consumer Federation Warns Against Weakening in Conference with House
Contact Information:
Barbara Roper, (719) 543-9468
Travis Plunkett, (202) 387-6121
July 15, 2002
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- As the Senate neared passage of landmark corporate reform legislation Monday (S. 2673), the Consumer Federation of America (CFA) hailed the legislation as a significant advance over companion legislation in the House. However, CFA warned that the bill had been already been weakened before moving to the Senate floor and represented the bare minimum that was needed to help restore investor confidence.
"Investor confidence has been badly shaken in recent months by the realization that our system of corporate governance, long heralded as the best in the world, is not adequate to ensure that investors receive reliable information about the companies in which they invest," said Barbara Roper, CFA's director of investor protection. "The Senate bill takes the comprehensive approach that is needed to reform the system and restore investor trust. As such, it stands in stark contrast to both the House bill and the administration agenda, as outlined in the president's recent speech."
CFA praised the bill for: creating a strong new regulator to oversee the audits of public companies; including measures to enhance auditor independence and strengthen corporate board oversight of the audit; reducing the incentives for corporate executives to make misleading disclosures; providing greater accountability, including strong criminal sanctions, when they do; lengthening the statute of limitations for securities fraud; enhancing the independence of the Financial Accounting Standards Board; and authorizing a significant funding increase for the Securities and Exchange Commission.
"While we are concerned that the bill does not go as far as it should to ensure the independence of the new oversight board or to enhance the independence of the audit, it is still by far the best proposal on the table," Roper said. She noted that the public process of a floor debate had discouraged those intent on weakening the bill but unwilling to do so in public. "Unfortunately, the behind-closed-doors negotiations of a conference committee offer a more congenial environment for the opponents of real reform," she said.
That is of particular concern, Roper said, because the House bill offers "sham reform," and the administration continues to express its support for the House bill. She criticized the House bill, in particular, for doing nothing to enhance auditor independence beyond what the major firms have said they wouldn't oppose and creating a weak new regulator "custom-designed for domination by the very accounting profession it is supposed to regulate."

Crunch Time...
I realized yesterday morning that I have a busy couple of weeks ahead of me. As the semester is coming to an end, I have an intense line up of exams, essays and project presentations ahead of me. I am currently taking four classes, and although I have had an overall easy semester, it seems that all of my classes are demanding something in the next couple of weeks.
In Chemistry II, I have the third exam next Monday. The final exam will be the week afterwards on Wednesday. Thats already two exams in three weeks. In order to do well on these exams, I will need to ensure that I am able to do all of the assigned homework problems. I will probably have to study chemistry every day from now until the final exam.
In Intro to Philosophy, I have to submit a 5 page essay. This will be our third essay of the semester, so it will be graded the hardest. It is also worth more points. This is due the first day of finals, which is the same Wednesday as my Chem II final. Luckily, there is no final exam in this class.
In General Psychology, I have a group project to present next Wednesday. This will require a few hours of work over the next week. The final exam for this class will be on Saturday the 19th. Hopefully the exam will not be too difficult, and the professor will give a good outline for it.
My last class is Computer Aided Engineering. For this class I have a term paper due next Wednesday. Along with the term paper I must give a short presentation of my topic. This is due the same day as my group presentation. I also need to catch up on some homework assignments in this class.
As you can see there is a lot of overlap in my schedule. I am confident that a lot of you have pretty busy schedules in front of you. I suggest you lay everything out like I did, so that you can better prepare for your assignments. It is very important to finish the semester strong, to ensure you get the grades you deserve.

Lewis Hamilton believes he will climb onto the top step of the podium before his debut season with Mercedes is over...
Lewis Hamilton believes he will climb onto the top step of the podium before his debut season with Mercedes is over.
The former McLaren driver had had a stunning start to his Mercedes careering, claiming two podium results in three races.
Added to that, Hamilton has also netted one pole position, proving his W04 has both short and long-run pace.
However, the one issue the car still has is with its tyres. Like its predecessor, the W04 is heavier on its tyres than most of its rivals.
"I am hopeful we can win this year, particularly as we have things coming in the pipeline with upgrades and improvements for the car," Hamilton told Sky Sports F1.
"In some places the degradation isn't going to be as bad as in Bahrain and I'm confident we can stay out front."
Mercedes, though, is not the only outfit having trouble with the Pirelli rubber with Champions Red Bull Racing even calling for the tyres to be altered as the current crop suffer with high degradation.
Weighing in on the tyre debate, Hamilton said: "I love going flat out and getting on it, but that's just not the way it is now."
The 28-year-old was also asked about his move to Mercedes, which brought an end to his 14-year association with McLaren.
"Everyone moves on and tries something new and I'm really enjoying it. But not because it is better - it's just different," Hamilton explained.
"The team is different, there's a different set of people who l am really enjoying working with and it's a new set of challenges, which is what I wanted."
He added: "I feel more comfortable in my own skin. I just feel that each year I am getting better and better and growing.
"I've got a great personal team around me management-wise, things are good with the family, things are good with the girlfriend, things are good with the dog.
"Bit by bit you try to adjust things and make things better and I just feel that my approach, my fitness and my mindset seems to be better than ever."

NFL Kickoff
Keidel: Nothing More American Than Autumn And Football
Football reduces us to our most private and primate impulses. We survive winter through the vicarious thrill we get from our favorite football teams.
Bucs Hoping Michael Johnson Excels This Season
The Bucs took a gamble signing Michael Johnson to a huge contract, and this season, he has to be the guy.
Jake Locker Needs To Become A Leader for Tennessee Titans In 2014
With Chris Johnson gone, the Tennessee Titans look to redesign their offense and that all starts with quarterback Jake Locker. After an injury plagued career, Locker has to stay healthy and become a leader on and off the field if the Titans want to win.
Second Year For Eddie Lacy Could Push Packers To NFL's Most Balanced Offense
Green Bay Packers running back Eddie Lacy had a spectacular year in 2013, but improvement by Lacy and a healthy Aaron Rodgers, the Packers may just end up being the NFL's most balanced offense in 2014.
Pittsburgh's Ryan Shazier Best Bet To Start As Steelers Rookie Since 2001
The last time the Pittsburgh Steelers drafted a rookie who made an immediate impact and started opening day was Kendrell Bell in 2001, but first-round draft pick Ryan Shazier has all the skills of an NFL starter and the backing of defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau.
Richard Sherman Makes Things Go BOOM!
He may be known for his trash-talking, but that doesn't mean Sherman isn't one of the most talented cornerbacks currently in the NFL. As this year's cover athlete for Madden 15, he's out to prove there no such thing as the "Madden Curse".
The Sky Is The Limit For Chargers' Keenan Allen In 2014
If before the 2013 season you would tell Bolt fans that Cal rookie Keenan Allen would become the "go-to" guy for much of last season, many may have scratched their head a time or two. When all was said and done last season, Allen emerged not only as the Chargers' top threat, but one of the top wide receiver stories around the NFL.
The Godzilla Of The NFL: Trent Williams
In December of 2011 the NFL formally announced the suspensions of two Redskins players, tight-end Fred Davis, and left-tackle Trent Williams. Both players received a four game suspension without pay, for testing positive for marijuana three times throughout the course of the season.
Eric Decker Plays Many Roles For The New York Jets
The Jets marquee offseason signing is more than just a number one receiver for Gang Green.
Champ Bailey Looks To Keep Career Going With New Orleans Saints
The New Orleans Saints had a vastly improved defense in the NFL in 2013, but it never hurts to get a bit more veteran leadership and skill onto the roster. That's what they did by adding Champ Bailey during the offseason, and he is looking for a Super Bowl ring before his stories career ends.

Reviews for Peanut Butter Kiss Cookies
Sort By :
"Ive been using this recipe for about a year now and I figured out a way to make them stick with out flour. My mom had this package of caramel from the frozen pie she bought. I added a big glob of that. Oddly enough I can not taste the caramel in the cookies but it makes them crisp instead of soft"
"So good and so easy"
"I have made this recipe numerous times, always with great results!"
"This is a tried and true peanut butter cookie recipe. With the addition of a chocolate kiss they also look amazing! However, in terms of crumbled cookie- I have always removed the cookies about 4 minutes early and set the kiss in place and returned to over. This allows the cookie to bake up around the kiss. Now that kisses come in many flavors, we have tried peanut butter, dark chocolate....all good."
"Eating the batter raw was the better part of the experience. When baked they fell apart and were too fragile, the whole texture wasn't the right combo, and even under baking them didn't keep the edges from getting crispy. Will be looking for another recipe."

12 slices
2/3 cup
2/3 cup
all-purpose flour
7 cups
large baked potatoes, peeled and cubed
green onions, chopped
1 1/4 cups
shredded Cheddar cheese
1 cup
sour cream
1 teaspoon
1 teaspoon
ground black pepper
Tried a healthier version of this soup (down from 60 grams of fat per serv. to 8!!) Cut out the butter completely (we didn't even miss it amazingly) used 6 cups of 2% milk, reduced fat sharp cheddar, reduced fat sour cream. Reserved a 1/4 cup each of sour cream and cheese plus all of the bacon crumbles & used 1tbsp each to top each serving. DELICIOUS - never would have thought it healthy! I also used about 6 potatos and coursley mashed them as opposed to cubed. YUM!
This recipe does have potential, I wish I could omit the star rating, but that feature no longer works. I tried this recipe exactly, but it was bland and had a thick flour taste. My hubby said it reminded him of the paste from when he was in grade school. If this sits for any length of time it becomes similiar to mashed potatos.. For all of you who said it was "bland" or "milky", try omitting 3 cups of milk and instead, cook half of your potatos in 3 cups of chicken broth. Puree those, but bake the other half of the taters and cut them in small cubes. Add you milk to the tater puree and heat to a simmer, you should not need the roux, potatos are a natural thickener. I would recommend adding some salt, garlic powder and maybe even some chopped onion to the broth before you cook the potatoes, for added flavor. Continue with the recipe ingreadiens and enjoy.

I make this soup all the time and my family loves it. To thin it down some I use 3 cups of milk and add chicken broth to our preferred thickness. The chicken broth adds even more flavor too!!!
I read every review only because I believe that even experienced cooks can always learn something. Some people complained that the soup was bland. At first taste, while it was still in the pot, I agreed. It tasted like soupy mashed potatoes. I added garlic and onion powder, parsley and cayenne pepper for some zip. When I initially viewed the recipe I felt that there was way too much butter/flour. I cut both back by half, not only to cut down on the fat, but because other reviewers stated that the soup was too thick. You definitely don't need all that roux to make this soup thick. If you do want it thicker, just add more potato, if you want it thinner, add more milk or chicken broth. This is the kind of recipe that you can put in whatever spices, herbs or meats that suit your own taste. You really can't ruin it. Overall, it was very good.
Fantastic!! Better than any potato soup I've had in a restaurant and definitely my fav soup ever!! I have done a bit of tweaking to suit my own tastes.... sub 2 cups chicken stock for 2 of the cups of milk, instead of green onions I add a finely chopped yellow onion and 2 cloves garlic that I've lightly browned in the bacon grease. I mash the potatoes a little bit with fork as well, cut the sour cream down a bit, save about half of the cheese and all of the crumbled bacon to top the soup with. It's even more flavorful and thick the next day. If it gets too thick I just add a little milk when reheating.
This was great meal. My husband and I loved it. But we did something a little diffrent. It did not have much flavor. So we got a ranch packet out. The one that you make the ranch dressing with and just added some to the soup and it turned out great. We did nto add all of it just enough for taste. Just thought this might help.
I love this recipe! Can I give it more than five stars? I have made it several times now and it is a favorite at our house making a meal in itself. I will throw in about half of the potatoe skins for a little extra texture. The really nice thing about this soup is you can adjust it to taste. I have added everything from the onion, sour cream and bacon they suggest to steak and chives. It is also really easy and quick unlike my potato soup recipe which I have to cook for several hours and usually forget about scorching the milk.
This was exelent. It tasted a little bland the day that I made it. By the second day all of the flavors came out. It was perfect!! I sugest letting it sit over night.
