Home Remodeling Spending to Grow 20% in 2013
The Leading Indicator of Remodeling Activity released by Harvard's Joint Center for Housing Studies points towards a strong rebound in home improvement activity during 2013.
The remodeling market continued to record steady gains – and good opportunities for custom installers/integrators – during 2012, even as the recovery in new home construction proceeded at a disappointingly slow pace.
Now with momentum in starts finally starting to build, there's news that remodeling growth is picking up steam as well.
The Leading Indicator of Remodeling Activity (LIRA), released by Harvard's Joint Center for Housing Studies (JCHS), points towards a strong rebound in home improvement activity during 2013. The JCHS report documented robust spending throughout the second half of 2012, and the LIRA projects annual homeowner improvement spending will see accelerating double-digit growth through at least the third quarter of 2013.
The LIRA is compiled by analyzing recent trends in eight specific indicators of market activity (e.g., housing starts, pending home sales, retail sales at building supply stores, etc.) which together have historically had strong correlations to remodeling spending. After weighting the components to reflect their relative correlation and lead times with respect to historical remodeling spending trends, the factors are applied to develop a forecast of near-term changes in the market.
Related: Housing Starts Strong in Dec. 2012
Summarizing the latest LIRA report, Kermit Baker, director of the Remodeling Futures Program at the JCHS, says that "… the solid momentum behind home building activity, existing home sales, low financing costs and remodeling contractor sentiment all point to a solid start to the new year for home improvement spending."
By the third quarter of 2013, spending for home improvement projects is expected to be growing at an annualized rate of 19.7 percent, with the dollar value of activity projected to reach an annualized total of $145.5 billion.

On June 30, 2014, the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission's Divisions of Investment Management and Corporation Finance issued guidance on the responsibilities of investment advisers in voting proxies and using proxy advisory firms and on the availability of two exemptions from the proxy rules frequently relied upon by proxy advisory firms. The guidance, which is in question-and-answer format, falls well short of the comprehensive rulemaking desired by those in the issuer community concerned with the influential proxy advisory industry, but it addresses (albeit timidly) some often-expressed concerns, including lack of accountability and conflicts of interest. Here is a link to the Staff Legal Bulletin containing the guidance.
Investment Adviser Proxy Voting Responsibilities and Use of Proxy Advisory Firms
The Bulletin confirms that it is a fraudulent, deceptive, or manipulative act, practice or course of business for a registered investment adviser to exercise voting authority unless, among other things, the adviser implements written policies and procedures that are reasonably designed to ensure that the adviser votes proxies in the best interests of the client. This is confirmation that uninformed, unmonitored reliance on proxy advisory firm voting recommendations for all voting decisions is not consistent with an adviser's fiduciary duties to its clients.
Specifically, the Bulletin:
Proxy Advisory Firms and Federal Proxy Rule Exemptions
The Bulletin focuses on the applicability of two exemptions from the federal proxy rules commonly relied upon by proxy advisory firms. Proxy firms are subject to the proxy rules if they engage in a "solicitation," which is defined in Rule 14a-1(l) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") to include "the furnishing of a form of proxy or other communication to security holders under circumstances reasonably calculated to result in the procurement, withholding or revocation of a proxy." The Bulletin confirms that, as a general matter, the SEC views furnishing proxy voting advice as a "solicitation."
Exchange Act Rule 14a-2(b)(1), however, exempts "any solicitation by or on behalf of a person who does not, at any time during such solicitation, seek directly or indirectly, either on its own or another's behalf, the power to act as a proxy for a security holder and does not furnish or otherwise request, or act on behalf of a person who furnishes or requests, a form of revocation, abstention, consent or authorization." The Staff's position is that this exemption is not available to a proxy advisory firm offering a service that allows the client to establish, in advance of receiving proxy materials, general guidelines or policies that the proxy advisory firm will apply to vote on behalf of the client. In that instance, the advisory firm would be viewed as having solicited the "power to act as a proxy" for the client. Alternatively, proxy firms may rely on the Rule 14a-2(b)(1) exemption if they limit their proxy voting activities to distributing recommendation reports.
If the 14a-2(b)(1) exemption is not available, proxy firms may look to Exchange Act Rule 14a-2(b)(3), which provides an exemption for the provision of proxy voting advice to a person with whom a business relationship exists if the advising person (1) "gives financial advice in the ordinary course of business," (2) "discloses to the recipient... any significant relationship with the [issuer] or any of its affiliates, or a security holder proponent of the matter on which advice is given, as well as any material interests of the person in such matter," (3) "receives no special commission or remuneration for furnishing the advice from any person other than the recipient of the advice and others who receive similar advice" and (4) "does not furnish advice on behalf of any person soliciting proxies or on behalf of a participant in a contested election." The Bulletin's guidance focuses primarily on the second prong of the exemption – evaluation and disclosure of conflicts of interest. The Staff highlights the following principles:
The interpretive guidance does not address several of the common complaints about proxy advisory firms, including the inability of most companies to obtain draft reports from ISS, the quality of proxy advisory firm analyses and the refusal to make public the underlying methodologies on which the proxy advisory firms rely. Still, the Bulletin should promote more robust disclosure by proxy advisory firms and greater diligence by and autonomy of investment advisers relying on proxy advisory services. In the Bulletin, the Staff recognizes that investment advisers and proxy advisory firms may need to modify their current policies and practices, and states that the Staff expects necessary changes will be made "promptly, but in any event in advance of next year's proxy season." As a result, the impact of the Bulletin should be seen in the 2015 proxy season.

text: Drumcomplex - The Mass Movement Phenomenon Work-sharing is not uncommon with Techno duos. On the contrary, it is the rule rather than the exception. On the Techno scene this is only natural. One of the counterparts, with the right training, focuses on the professional record production output, while the extroverted one faces the raised fists of cheering fans on weekends and tries to relax with some quiet time on weekdays. Arnd Reichow, part of the duo Drumcomplex, has been an example of the second type all his life. Daniel, who holds a degree in sound engineering and who is also Arnd's brother, is an important support - privately as well as professionally.

Berwick will conclude season against E.D. White
Berwick's Tre' Matthews returns an interception for a touchdown during the Panthers' 57-7 loss to Patterson last week. Berwick will close its season at home Friday against E.D. White.
By CORWIN MURRAY
Berwick ends a brutal district schedule Friday when it hosts E.D. White Catholic at Geisler Stadium.
The Panthers (2-7, 0-3 District 9-3A) lost to powerhouse Patterson 57-7 last week.
In last week's loss, the Panthers started strong, surprising Patterson with an onside kick on the game's opening kickoff and linebacker Tre Matthews intercepted a pass and raced 50 yards for a touchdown early in the first quarter.
But things went downhill from there.
"We were so overmatched," Berwick head coach Craig Brodie said after the game. "We tried to jump on them with the onside kick, and Tre made a great play on the interception, but they had just too much fire power."
Matthews played an outstanding game on both sides of the ball. The junior was all over the field on defense, and he also played running back, carrying 14 times for 46 yards to lead the team.
"He played really well," Brodie said. "He has been one of our hardest workers, and he worked himself from a lineman type to a skill player this offseason. He put the time in the weight room, and he got better. He's an example of what we are trying to teach as we rebuild this program."
Berwick came into the game last week shorthanded on offense with starting quarterback Bobby Boudreaux sitting out with an injury. The senior was the team's leading passer and rusher.
Junior Jeremy Boudreaux got the start at quarterback but was knocked out of the game in the second quarter, forcing Drew Landry into action as the Panthers' signal caller.
Landry had the team's only completion, a 28-yarder to Audwin Williams.
"We had several players get hurt, but the kids played hard and I was happy with the effort," Brodie said. "Drew played well considering he didn't practice all week at quarterback."
Bobby Boudreaux will be out again this week, but Jeremy Boudreaux will return under center.
However, key contributor Justin Morvant, a junior running back and defensive back, also will miss the team's final game Friday.
"We told the seniors that it's their last opportunity to play and to make the best of it," Brodie said. "If they have worked as hard as they could, then they should have no regrets. Maybe they didn't have the wins they might have wanted, but they have been a big part of the rebuilding program here and they can be proud of that."
E.D. White (4-5, 1-2 in district) defeated Assumption last week 30-7. The Cardinals, according to the Louisiana High School Athletic Association's unofficial Division II power ratings, would be the No. 11 seed if the playoffs started today.
In last week's win, E.D. White forced four turnovers (two fumbles and two interceptions) against Assumption, which they turned into 17 points.
Standout running back Darius Charles has rushed for 787 yards and scored 12 touchdowns this season.
Kickoff is 7 p.m.

|1⁄4 Cup (4 tbs), softened
|Firmly packed brown sugar
|1⁄2 Cup (8 tbs)
|1⁄4 Cup (4 tbs), finley chopped
|All purpose flour
|2 Tablespoon
|1⁄4 Teaspoon
1. Cream butter or margarine with sugar until fluffy in a bowl. Beat in egg; stir in pecans, flour, salt.
2. Drop half-teaspoonfuls, about 5 inches apart, on a lightly greased cookie sheet; spread each into a very thin, 2 1/2-inch round. (Make only two at a time for easy handling. Use two cookie sheets; bake one batch while shaping the other.)
3. Bake in slow oven (300°) 10 minutes, or until golden-brown. Cool on cookie sheet 1 minute, or just till firm enough to hold shape.
4. Cut in half with a sharp knife, then loosen with spatula. Quickly roll each half into a tiny cone; place on rack to crisp. (If cookies become too brittle to shape, return to oven for 30 seconds.)

Michelle Obama kicks off her Let's Move third anniversary tour next week, and she started the celebration a little early with a visit from Big Bird from "Sesame Street." They teamed up to promote healthy eating and exercise in a couple of videos filmed at the White House.
On the Let's Move blog, there is an impressive list of Let's Move's milestones and collaborations. The long list includes the MyPlate food icon that replaced the outdated food pyramid, the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act and the Kid's State Dinner.
Mrs. Obama is in New York City today to promote Let's Move, and she'll have her first sit-down tonight on the "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" show.

Re: Google play store crashing
Hello, whenever you have apps crashing most likely you have a corrupt app, the lack of storage, or either your gmail account has been changed.
1. uninstall then reinstall the app
2. if option 1 doesnt work, clear some cache or date by going into your setting then app manager. Sort the apps in order by file size (press menu key) then choose an app that you personally installed to ensure that preloaded apps are not tampered with. Check to see if app crashes
3. If option 2 doesnt work, go to play.google.com to log in mainly to make sure you know the username and password. Once this is verified, go ahead and remove the gmail account. This may require a factory reset so make sure you have contacts, calenders, and photos backed up somewhere. Go to privacy in setting and factory reset the device. Once the device has been reset, sync everything back most importantly gmail then try downloading app.
This will work 99% of the time or else the device needs to be replaced

After bug 620931, $gre/defaults/pref/*.js files are supposed to only be loaded when the application directory and the GRE directory are the same. That was the intent, but the code actually doesn't do that because of the semantics change that happened late in bug 620931. What the code currently does is that it will load $gre/defaults/pref/*.js unless there's an the application directory and the GRE directory are different and the application uses an omni.jar.
This means it works in all cases for plain Firefox but doesn't with xulrunner when the app is omnijar'ed. But xulrunner has its own prefs in $gre/defaults/pref/*.js, most notably when xulrunner itself is not omnijar'ed (like, when running it from the dist/bin directory).
This means we actually have a need to unconditionally load these prefs instead of skipping in some cases.

When young Schwartz Gyorgy was collaborating with the National Socialist German Worker's Party in the 1940's, he viewed his actions as merely utilitarian. As Gyorgy helped the National Socialists, or Nazis for short, confiscate the property of Jews, he said he felt no sense of guilt. Gyorgy, who now goes by the name George Soros, said if he hadn't helped the Nazis purify the country, someone else surely would have. Young Soros took property from the Jews and profited from it because he could, end of story. By his own admission, he doesn't lose a wink of sleep over his actions.
A little later in life, Soros the wealthy hedge fund investor saw that the British pound needed to be devalued, so he bought up billions of dollars of British sterling and made other financial moves to profit from the coming devaluation. Soros became known as The Man Who Broke The Bank Of England for those moves. He helped crash the British economy because he could, end of story. He didn't lose a wink of sleep over his actions.
These days, Soros, who has said he "fancied himself some kind of God" is very interested in American politics. He wants to devalue the American dollar and redistribute American wealth to other countries, among many other things. He donates tens of millions of dollars to left-wing media outlets in this country, such as Moveon.org, ThinkProgress, Center For American Progress, Media Matters, etc. He does that because he can, end of story. A few days ago, Soros gave Media Matters a million bucks to target Fox News. Here's what Soros said about that donation:
Despite repeated assertions to the contrary by various Fox News commentators, I have not to date been a funder of Media Matters. However, in view of recent evidence suggesting that the incendiary rhetoric of Fox News hosts may incite violence, I have now decided to support the organization. Media Matters is one of the few groups that attempts to hold Fox News accountable for the false and misleading information they so often broadcast. I am supporting Media Matters in an effort to more widely publicize the challenge Fox News poses to civil and informed discourse in our democracy.
Soros is being disingenuous when he says he has not donated to Media Matters previously. He has not donated money directly to Media Matters before now, but as Politico notes, Media Matters "has received funding from or formed partnerships with several groups that Soros funds. These include the Tides Foundation, Democracy Alliance, Moveon.org and the Center for American Progress." George Soros is the big money behind the left-wing media in this country. MSNBC is the television outlet for that media. Keith Olbermann, Rachel Maddow, and company air the "news" that the Soros-funded media puts out on the internet.
A few days ago, George Soros, the self-described Fox News hater, donated $1.8 million to National Public Radio (NPR). Yesterday, NPR fired Juan Williams, who had been an NPR news analyst for 10 years, but who, more importantly, is a regular guest on Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor. The lefty Soros-NPR cabal doesn't like their people going on Fox News, so they manufactured a reason to fire him. Soros wants to purify NPR and the rest of the media just as he helped the Nazis purify Germany. NPR's excuse to fire Williams was a comment he made on Fox News about getting nervous when he sees a Muslim dressed in Muslim garb getting on an airplane, a view I imagine is shared by a few hundred million other Americans after 9/11 and subsequent attempts by Muslim jihadists to bring down planes. It isn't bigotry to have such a thought. I've had the same thought myself in airports. It's human nature, the survival instinct. While we don't want to be insensitive, we don't want to die in a fiery airplane crash either. NPR fired Juan Williams for being a human being with an opinion. That's their official line, anyway. Here's NPR President and CEO
NPR chief executive Vivian Schiller is defending the firing of news analyst Juan Williams after his comments on the Fox News Channel, saying his feelings about Muslims are between him and "his psychiatrist or his publicist."
Schiller spoke Thursday at the Atlanta Press Club. She said Williams' firing is not a reflection of his comments that he gets nervous when he sees people in Muslim garb on an airplane.
She says she has no problem with people taking controversial positions, but that such opinions should not come from NPR reporters or news analysts.
So, NPR news analysts should not offer opinions, eh ? Hmmm. Is it even possible to "analyze" the news without offering an opinion ? I'm dubious. The real truth, however, is that NPR's people offer opinions ALL THE TIME. Here are a few examples:
From calling Tea Party members "Tea Baggers," to saying that "the evaporation of 4 million" Christians would leave the world a better place, to suggesting that God could give former Sen. Jesse Helms or his family AIDS from a blood transfusion, NPR's personalities have said some pretty un-PC things in the past. A look at the record reveals no shortage of intolerant statements and unbalanced segments on the publicly sponsored network's airwaves.
- NPR's Terry Gross hosted Princeton professor Sean Wilentz, who has written that President George W. Bush practiced "a radicalized version of Reaganism," Newsbusters' Tom Graham wrote. "Can you think of another time in American history when there have been as many people running for Congress who seem to be on the extreme?" Gross asked, according to Graham. "Not running for Congress, no," Wilentz replied. "I mean even back in the '50s."
NPR is fine with opinions, provided they are left-wing opinions. Why else do you think left-winger George Soros is giving them money ? In order to foster media balance ? Hardly. Soros is giving NPR money so NPR can step up it's efforts to attack conservatives.
Juan Williams knows the real reason he was fired:
Saying that he thinks NPR terminated his contract because "I appear on Fox," news analyst Juan Williams tonight continued to protest the decision by NPR executives to cut the organization's ties with him.
"I don't fit in their box. I'm not a predictable, black liberal," he told Fox News' Bill O'Reilly.
That's the bottom line. While Williams often does take liberal positions, he does not fall into the liberal loon category. He is not a lemming. He is a thoughtful and independent thinker, someone I enjoy hearing, even if I don't always agree with him. I'm not even going to entertain the notion that he is some sort of bigot, which is absurd. He most definitely is not. He has written books on the civil rights movement, not that he needs me to defend him.
Finally, isn't it about time we stop giving NPR, a partisan political group, federal funds ? Why should the taxpayers support that ? If the taxpayers were funding Fox News, I'm certain left-wingers would be protesting in the streets, so why do we tolerate funding liberal partisan groups ? It makes no sense to me.

Lessons in French
Lessons in French
By Hilary Reyl
Simon & Schuster, Hardcover, 9781451655032, 341pp.
Publication Date: March 5, 2013
It's 1989, the Berlin Wall is coming down, and Kate has just graduated from Yale, eager to pursue her dreams as a fledgling painter. When she receives a job offer to work as the assistant to Lydia Schell, a famous American photographer in Paris, she immediately accepts. It's a chance not only to be at the center of it all, but also to return to France for the first time since she was a lonely nine-year-old girl, sent to the outskirts of Paris to live with cousins while her father was dying.
Kate may speak fluent French, but she arrives at the Schell household in the fashionable Sixth Arrondissement both dazzled and wildly impressionable. She finds herself surrounded by a seductive cast of characters, including the bright, pretentious Schells, with whom she boards, and their assortment of famous friends; Kate's own flamboyant cousin; a fellow Yalie who seems to have it all figured out; and a bande of independently wealthy young men with royal lineage. As Kate rediscovers Paris and her roots there, while trying to fit into Lydia's glamorous and complicated family, she begins to question the kindness of the people to whom she is so drawn as well as her own motives for wanting them to love her.
In compelling and sympathetic prose, Hilary Reyl perfectly captures this portrait of a precocious, ambitious young woman struggling to define herself in a vibrant world that spirals out of her control. Lessons in French is at once a love letter to Paris and the story of a young woman finding herself, her moral compass, and, finally, her true family.
"Paris is an irresistible backdrop and a proving ground in Hilary Reyl's emotionally wise first novel. As Kate struggles to find who she truly is amid the ever-brewing storms in Schell household, her lessons are hard-won and often risky—and yet we believe and fully root for her from page one. An affecting and intelligently drawn debut."
-Paula McLain
"Hilary Reyl has crafted the ultimate sophisticated coming-of-age-story. Not since Diane Johnson's Le Divorce have Americans in Paris seemed so compelling. Lessons in French is not only an impossibly romantic and sensual delight, but its characters—witty and surprisingly poignant—stayed with me long after I savored the final page."
-Joanna Hershon
"With its complicated love story, rich cast of accomplished and eccentric characters, and vivid evocation of late 1980's Paris, Lessons in French is a delight from the first page. I got so caught up in the story, I almost believed I was young, living in a Parisian garret, and fluent in French."
-Stephen McCauley
"French literature scholar Reyl's first novel is rich and magnetic, a snapshot of one young woman's life in a city at once ancient and bubbling over with life."
"A bittersweet tale of personal growth and a paean (well deserved!) to Paris. Having lived there, Reyl should light up the City of Light."
"Any ambitious young woman who has ever been out of her depth in a new job, new city or new romance will recognize a bit of herself in Ms. Reyl's heroine."
-Elizabeth Bard

I'm a avid traveller, so I'm pretty down to experience life any way it comes. As far as what makes my life engaging, I like to think it's my natural curiosity about everything. I embrace diversity, no matter how it comes, and I respect the opinions of others. That being said, I like to think we can all learn alot from each other. Even though we might not always agree with each other, a healthy debate goes a long way toward respecting each other as individuals. I know this is all a bit 'zen', but if the question is "what makes my life engaging", I'd say that I don't really see it as the world engaging with my life but as a constant effort on my part to engage the world around me.
My professional life is a bit biased toward business, so I tend to appreciate art and music as they are the traits I find myself most lacking. Specifically, I really like street art and graffiti. I also take deep pride in my iTunes library. Since I travel alot, and have to travel light, I try and "diversify" my music collection whenever possible. Chances are if you're from a different country than i am, and I've known you long enough to hear some of your music, I'll be pestering you to fill a flash drive up for me.

I'm a bit into Docos at the moment, but I'm always up for something I haven't seen.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
I'll spare you my "dinner with the locals" stories, haha.
Honestly, picking just one moment is very hard to do. I've been traveling around fairly regularly over the past 5yrs, so picking just one moment would be disregarding so many other amazing experiences I've been privileged to have.
Every time I had long nights with friends or got to chill out on the beach and go for a swim, I thoroughly enjoyed those moments.

Alzheimer's disease may be linked to flame retardant chemicals
By Jimmy Downs
Thursday Dec 6, 2012 (foodconsumer.org) -- A new study in PLoS One suggests that exposure to flame retardant chemicals like polybrominated bisphenyls and polybrominated diphenyl ethers may increase risk of dementia like Alzheimer's disease.
F. Al-Mousa and F. Michelangeli at School of Biosciences, University Of Birmingham in Edgbaston, Birmingham, United Kingdom tested some of most commonly used brominated flame retardants in SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma cells and found all tested flame retardants toxic to brain cells at low micromolar concentrations.
The flame retardant chemicals tested in the study were hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD), tetrabromobisphenol-A (TBBPA) and decabromodiphenyl ether (DBPE).
Specifically, the researchers found the flame retardant s induced cell death and increased intracellular calcium ion levels and reactive oxygen species within neuronal cells.
These toxic flame retardant chemicals "also caused rapid depolarization of the mitochondria and cytochrome c release in neuronal cells" that were exposed to the flame retardants.
Additionally, tested flame retardant chemicals caused "β-amyloid peptide (Aβ-42) processing and release from these cells with a few hours of exposure."
The researchers conclude "These results therefore shows that these pollutants are both neurotoxic and amyloidogenic in-vitro."
Alzheimer's disease is believed to be caused by β-amyloid plaques. Could flame retardants increase risk of dementia like Alzheimer's disease?
Flame retardants are used all sorts of household products including electronics, furniture, carpets, toys, clothes, goods intended for infants' use. They have been found associated with a range of health conditions including congenital cryptorchidism in newborn boys, altered thyroid hormone levels, diabetes mellitus, reduced fertility, and ovarian cancer among others.

Include 1x2 sized tiles
Want to be able to have small rectangular tiles on home screen, rather than only tiny/medium squares or huge rectangles.

That is a great suggestion, however that is not a dev platform feature. Please provide feedback via the Windows Feedback tool built into Windows 10 or via http://windows.uservoice.com/

For the sake of discussion let's consider that tiny tiles are 1x1, normal tiles are 2x2, and large tiles are 4x2.
Assuming your preference is for 1x2 (tall) rectangles. What about 2x1 (wide) rectangles?

Ground-ripping rushing attacks by Kahleel Lewin and Curtis Samuel led the Erasmus Hall Dutchmen to a handsome 24–14 victory over Boys and Girls High School at Sid Luckman Field in Midwood on Sunday — giving the previously unbeaten Kangaroos its first loss of the season.
Two fumbles shot down all hopes of the Kangaroos making a comeback against the Dutchmen as Lewin rushed for 156 yards and Samuel scored three touchdowns — carrying two across the field and plucking a touchdown pass out of the air.
"The turnovers just killed us," Boys and Girls coach Clive Harding said. "That's not how you win games."
The Kangaroos didn't make it easy for the Dutchmen: the Bedford Stuyvesant squad (4–1) struck gold on its opening drive when Malik Reid hammered in a two-yard touchdown, plus a two-point conversion run for an 8–0 lead. East Flatbush's Erasmus (5–0) reached the end zone with 7:31 left in the second quarter when Samuel scored from two yards out to cut the deficit to 8–6 after a failed two-point conversion run.
But a Boys and Girls fumble set up Erasmus's second score. Kangaroo running back Najee Champagne lost the handle at the Dutchmen's 19-yard-line. Erasmus quickly recovered the ball and Samuel found the end zone again on a 26-yard scamper with 1:07 left in the half to give Erasmus as 12–8 lead. Erasmus quickly scored again as an 80-yard drive ended with Jonathan Samerson connecting with Samuel for an 11-yard fade in the corner of the end zone.
"It was a battle out there," said Samuel. "We just came out here and played hard."
But Boys and Girls weren't about to give up. The Kangaroos brought the ball down to the Erasmus 3-yard line, but on the fourth down quarterback Keon Marsh fumbled on the sneak attempt. Erasmus' Darin Peart scooped up the ball and returned to midfield.
Erasmus didn't score off the fumble, but Dutchman Jose Mathews added some insurance with an 11-yard touchdown run three minutes before the game ended.
Boys and Girls managed to score with 42 seconds remaining, but it was too late to preserve the team's unblemished record.
The mid-season victory makes Erasmus the favored challenger for the city public-school title.
"We are rolling, but we are only as good as our last game," Dutchmen coach Danny Landberg said. "This is a nice win, but it's no good if we don't win next week."

Special Cell arrests accused 'in touch' with Dawood aide Chhota Shakeel; phone chats intercepted.
Chhota Rajan was recently arrested in Bali, Indonesia
It added that in most of the documents recovered from him, Rajan had used the name of Mohan Kumar.
An SMS was purportedly sent from the cell phone of Chhota Shakeel, a close aide of fugutive mob boss Dawood Ibrahim, to a senior Tihar jail official threatening to eliminate Chhota Rajan.
CBI sources said the first case relates to Bhendi Bazar shoot out allegedly executed by hired shooters of Rajan in February 2010 in which two persons were killed.
The CBI is facing a staff crunch and had written to the state government for assistance.
The court has granted conditional bail, directing the accused not to leave the country without its permission.
Asked by the court about the progress in its investigation, the agency replied that it was yet to appoint a prosecutor.
Dey, a veteran crime reporter, was shot dead in suburban Powai by motorcycle-borne shooters on June 11, 2011 allegedly at the behest of Chhota Rajan.
CBI sources said the agency has charged them with criminal conspiracy, cheating, forgery and under Provisions of Prevention of Corruption Act in the charge sheet.
Judge A L Pansare of the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) court allowed an application filed by the CBI seeking permission to quiz Rajan.
Former Delhi police commissioner says that the former Dawood Ibrahim's aide enjoys a special relationship with the government.
Rajan, who was brought to India in October after being detained in Bali, was produced in the MCOCA court in Arthur Road Jail through video-conferencing from Tihar jail Thursday.
Rajan was arrested at Bali airport in Indonesia on October 25 last year after he arrived there from Australia.
Ramnarayan Gupta alias Lakhan Bhaiya, an alleged Chhota Rajan gang member, was killed in a fake encounter on November 11, 2006 in Versova.

The buzz about who'll be the next education secretary seems to be picking up a bit. The AP reports that Virginia Governor Tim Kaine says he doesn't want the job. Apparently, he mentioned it during his monthly radio show this morning, restating his intent to remain in Virginia through the end of his term in January 2010....
The AP reports that Arne Duncan, Chicago Public Schools chief, did indeed meet with outgoing Education Secretary Margaret Spellings this morning. In an interview with the AP, Duncan said the visit had nothing to do with the possibility of being chosen to serve as the next education secretary. But, of course, Duncan is among a few names being circulated as likely candidates for the post. He told the AP: "I was just meeting with Secretary Spellings; we're hoping she comes to Chicago next week to talk about some of the work that she supports in Chicago." He said he has "no idea" when the education post will be announced. He also chatted briefly about what needs to be addressed in education and expressed high hopes for Obama's plan. You can read the whole story here....
We know it was tough to be Gadfly-less through Thanksgiving (although we hope our sumptuous video menu helped tide you over). Good news: we're baaaack. This week, the top slot features a guest editorial from Charles Chieppo and Jamie Gass of Massachusetts' Pioneer Institute on the future of the MCAS. Recent recommendations on how to amend this top notch test to include "21st century skills" seem more likely to backtrack the assessment than actually hop it into the 21st century. Then check out some unbelievable stories from Florida (Carvalho's head is still in the clouds), California (Thanksgiving an occasion for violence?), and New York (the clock's run out on those Rubber Room reserve pool teachers).
You'll also find a lively discussion on this week's podcast (featuring not only guest co-host Dave DeSchryver but also Monty Python) and two letters to the editor from Michael Casserly of Council of Great City Schools and Andy Smarick of the U.S. Department of Education. The former loved Eric's op-ed from two weeks ago and the latter wants to clear up some confusion surrounding NCLB's recent four-year graduation rate regulations. Finally, take a...
Arne Duncan loses 7 percentage points today, but it hardly matters given his substantial lead. Caroline Kennedy scoots up the big chart today, inching past Ray Mabus, whose support is increasing ever so slightly. Word on the street is Freeman Hrabowski doesn't want the job . John Deasy's name was mentioned for the first time today, but no one gave him enough votes to get him on the board. Given that he recently accepted a position at the Gates Foundation , it seems unlikely to us that he will be tapped, but stranger things have happened.
Who has retired from the spotlight? These names have had their moment on stage and have been heard from no more: Napolitano, Huckabee, Richardson, Canada, Lomax, Oprah. Powell, who is now at 2% of the vote, falling from 13.5%, may be about to join the group.
I'm not siding with those who fear the red pen, but colors can matter ??? here's a description of a study which found referees in fencing were biased toward those wearing red (rather than blue), and the same writer points to other research showing that hockey and football players wearing black uniforms act more aggressively, and are perceived as being more aggressive. But what I really want to know is, does the color of school uniforms affect test scores?
Jeb Bush must be tiring of the grueling hours and thankless hard work of life in an education think tank, as Politico reports that he may seek a Senate seat. And Florida's outgoing (Republican) House speaker says, "I think Jeb Bush should run and if he does I think he'll win." It would be interesting to see whether education would continue to be a central issue for him there, as it has been in the past.
Over at the AP, Libby Quaid is reporting that Chicago Public Schools Chief Arne Duncan is supposed to have coffee with outgoing education secretary Margaret Spellings tomorrow morning at the Education Department! According to the story, Duncan's camp says he's in town for a dropout prevention meeting and simply wants to stop by and invite Spellings to a Chicago schools event. Hmmmm??????perhaps. But perhaps there's more to chat about?????? Duncan's name, of course, is being floated for the next education secretary, and he is the clear leader in Fordham's daily tracking poll on the matter.

Arne Duncan picture from Chicago Public Schools website...
Teachers in Australia are being told to avoid using red pens to mark their students' work, because the color can be seen as aggressive. Huh? I had to re-read that one, just to make sure I understood. Apparently the advice ??? given out to about 29 schools as part of a Queensland Health kit ??? has caused quite the brouhaha. Opposition health spokesman Mark McArdle called it a ???kooky, loony, loopy, Left policy.??? And Queensland Council of Parents and Citizens Associations President Margaret Black made an impassioned plea to scrap it. ???We're calling for our children to grow up normally, including their work being marked with a red pen," she said.
The intensity of it all sounds like a debate over global warming or financial bailouts ??? not the use of a red writing implement.
The Courier-Mail of Brisbane and Queensland actually put together a photo gallery of ???red pens in action,??? warning that ???images may disturb some users.???
Some see the red pen situation as no laughing matter, though. According to the courier mail article:
The daily tracking poll grinds on, as our Washington Insiders* beg for President-Elect Obama to announce his domestic policy team, and in a hurry. The fatigue is clearly setting in, as today's results look strikingly similar to yesterday's. (Though the Big O is gone.)
One surprise (to me at least) is that our gang thinks New York City schools chancellor Joel Klein still has a shot. Really? Maybe Randi wants him out of the Big Apple. Still, by my reckoning, it's going to take some fancy dance moves for Mr. Chancellor to get the nod.
Others mentioned today: Colin Powell, Mike Easley, Hugh Price, Tom Vilsack, Beverly Hall, Jim Hunt, Freeman Hrabowski, Erskine Bowles, Roy Barnes, Ronnie Musgrove, and Jim Shelton.
* As a service to one of our readers who is suffering memory loss (not to mention fading fame and glory), the ten insiders are: me; Joel Packer, NEA; Michelle McLaughlin, TFA (Formerly AFT); Kevin Carey, Education Sector; Fritz Edelstein, Public/Private Action; Brooks Garber, National Alliance of Public School Choice; Nina Rees, Knowledge Universe; Dave DeSchryver,...
In light of the current financial calamity, was this really the best location for this speech? From Education Daily:
Spellings to speak today in Las Vegas
In the wake of several high-profile moves to secure the federal student loan market, Education Secretary Margaret Spellings is scheduled to address the Federal Student Aid Conference today at Bally's Hotel and Ca??sino in Las Vegas.
Spellings is to discuss recent action taken by the Bush administration to promote college accessibility, af??fordability and accountability.

BROOKLET -Southeast Bulloch just ran out of time.
WAYNESBORO - In what was billed as a heavyweight fight, Statesboro came out with an opening flurry, but Burke County delivered the knockout punch.
DUBLIN - Bulloch Academy opened up its playbook in the second half to score 21 unanswered points and take a 28-0 victory over Trinity Christian School on Friday night at Cleve Warnock Field.
BROOKLET – With region tournaments just around the corner, Southeast Bulloch softball is preparing to host its annual Diamond Day tournament today.
SAVANNAH - The Screven County Gamecocks played a GHSA Class AAAAA team for the third time this season, and the Class AA Gamecocks won for the third time.
The Statesboro Blue Devils find themselves in one of the marquee matchups throughout the state tonight as they head to Waynesboro to take on Burke County.
BROOKLET - The Southeast Bulloch Yellow Jackets will look to continue their winning ways tonight at Fred Shaver Field as they host Telfair County.
Normally, it's the quarterback, running backs and wide receivers who are usually praised as an opposing team's star players.
While the 1-4 start isn't what fans of Statesboro baseball were looking for in 2017, they were in for an encouraging surprise Monday night.
Statesboro's season started in a rut, but as of late has been on the highest of highs after the team won their 15th region ...
After recording two consecutive upsets in its region tournament, it didn't seem likely Statesboro would be prime for being upset in its first round ...

Tuesday night served a greater purpose than simply moving on in the region tournament for Bulloch Academy's girls basketball team.

Old School
Age is the enemy of the athlete. In sports — even college sports — youth often equals prowess. That's what makes the University of Miami Hurricanes men's basketball team, veritable old men in college basketball terms, so impressive. Of the team's seven starters this year, all are in their 20s, and only sophomore sensation Shane Larkin isn't yet old enough to drink. This Saturday, the Canes will meet the Clemson Tigers in the final regular-season game of the year at the BankUnited Center (1245 Dauer Dr., Coral Gables). As of this writing, the Canes have just one loss in ACC play and should be a shoo-in for the NCAA tournament. Though a recent loss to Wake Forest shouldn't derail the Canes' bid, it still would be great to go into NCAA tournament play on a nice win streak.
