Rated 1 out of 5 by Mike V from Not Durable I bought one of these for my daughter who used it sparingly for a year or so. The cleaver broke in half at the handle recently. Not a very useful cleaver and Shun makes other products that are better for light duty work.Date published: 2018-03-10Rated 1 out of 5 by Wanderer from Not happy! Well I purchased this Shun meat cleaver so that my set of knifes would all be Shun. I haven't used it until today when I made standing Rib roast. The meat was very tender and I cut it with my Shun Slicing knife with no problem but I didn't want to take on chance with it tackling the bone so I used my meat cleaver to chop/cut through the bones which it did very easily. Problem is when I went to wash it only moments later I noticed a big chip/ bend in the blade. Thank God I didn't use this cleaver on a really tuff job the results might have been mich worse! I was a meat cutter for a few years in my youth and I can tell you the cleavers we used did not chip like this expensive cleaver did on it's Maiden Voyage! Those cleavers where worked day in and day out without issues. I will be returning this item ASAP and purchasing a professional meat cleaver. Shun makes great knifes but I think this cleaver is more for Veggies. Maybe they best go back to the drawing board on a real meat cleaver.Date published: 2012-01-09

Meet Our Students: Samuel Moore
A monthly series to help you get to know the students of NLU, where they've come from and the things they've experienced on the journey toward their degree.
Pursuing B.A. in Business Administration
What brought you to NLU?
I am the older of two children born to a teenage mother. My grandmother suffered from Alzheimer's and my mother needed to care for her and my sister; consequently, I was unable to afford college after I graduated from high school. I moved to Chicago because I felt opportunities were limited in the southern United States for me.
My grandmother was a sharecropper until she was 12, and she expressed to me her want for all of her grandchildren to receive a college education. I have a lasting memory of my mother graduating from a job-training program after she received her GED when I was seven years old. She was able to complete two years of college, which enabled her to provide a home for my sister and me. This is one of the best illustrations of self-determination through education I can remember.
Equally, I want to be an example for my children and nephew of how to overcome adversity. I did not have marketable skills for this new economy; meaning, I did not have any computer skills, and I needed computer skills for school and a job. I applied to AmeriCorps Project MORE.
AmeriCorps is a volunteer national service organization. Project MORE serves parents of Head Start-age children in economically depressed areas of Chicago. Through Project MORE I received a certificate in Adult Basic Education (ABE) and computer training while tutoring adults attempting to attain their GED certificates.
Finally, I enrolled at Malcolm X College, and one of my service co-members found information about the Harrison Fellows scholarship and suggested that I apply.
What are you currently studying?
I major in business administration. A majority of the classes in my major are preparing me to develop business enterprises for my community. Specifically, I really enjoy the principles of finance class this spring quarter. We cover how to determine risk and return, short- and long-term financing, as well as understanding cash flow. I find all of these topics fascinating.
Are you involved in any school clubs or off-campus activities in your community?
I am an AmeriCorps alumnus, and every year since 2010 I have participated in the Martin Luther King National Service Day with Project MORE. Project MORE and volunteers collect donations of food and clothing to distribute to shelters in the Chicago area. The AmeriCorps members, alumni, and volunteers facilitate reading and financial literacy workshops to the patrons of the shelters we serve on Martin Luther King's birthday.
How have you grown in your time here?
I was tapped in the summer of 2012 to help develop a series of professional development workshops. The workshops are designed to help residents of economically depressed areas in Chicago overcome barriers to employment and secondary education. I developed my research and communication skills here at NLU. Now I have clearer short- and long-term goals.
What do you hope to do after college and how is NLU preparing you for that?
I am preparing to become an owner-operator of a distribution company. Logistics companies have thrived in the recent downturn in the economy. I will provide a service that is critical to the economy and provide needed jobs in my community.
What have you liked most about your experience at NLU so far?
I had the opportunity to lead a team on a business development project facilitated by the Undergraduate Initiatives Manager, Traci Dennard. The project was open to the Harrison Fellows majoring in business administration. Similarly, the professors here bring real-world experiences to the classroom. I can focus clearly on what I want to learn from each class I take and how I may apply it in a business environment.
If you know of an NLU student at any level - bachelor's, master's, doctoral - who has an inspiring story to tell, nominate them for our monthly series by emailing Susan Barnett, Director of Communications, at email@example.com.

1. He has died.The present perfect expresses an indefinite past.
2. He has arrived.
'The Indefinite Past does not tell you exactly when [something happened; e.g.,] at six o'clock this morning / three hours ago. [Those are] Incompatible with Present Perfect.'_______________________________
Adverbials occuring with the Past Simple but precluding the Present Perfect: A WEEK AGO, EARLIER THIS YEAR, LAST MONDAY, THE OTHER DAY, YESTERDAY EVENING.
Adverbials which are most likely found in the Past Simple but can occur in an indefinite or iterative sense in the Present Perfect: AT FOUR O'CLOCK, IN THE MORNING, ON TUESDAY, THEN, SOON, NEXT, AFTER BREAKFAST. I've always done my HW in the evenings.
Adverbials which may accompany the Present Perfect but not the Past Simple include FOR THE PRESENT, FOR NOW, FOR THE TIME BEING.
Adverbials which are normally associated with the Present Perfect as opposed to the Past Simple, are SO FAR, UP TO NOW, HITHERTO, SINCE THURSDAY, SINCE I MET HER and LATELY & LATTERLY (recent indefinite past)
The group of adverbials which combine with either Present Perfect or Past Simple is interesting in so far as it indicates cases where the two tenses are interchangeable as well as instances where the actual meaning depends on the tense.
ALWAYS, EVER and NEVER can be used either with the Present Perfect or Past Simple: I've always said / I always said. He's always been a liar / He always was a liar.
NOW & ONCE: Now I've nearly finished my tea. Now it was nearly dark (for "then). I've visited Toledo once / Once I was innocent (at one time). Meaning change.
ALREADY, STILL, YET & BEFORE relate to point of orientation "now" when used with the Present Perfect and "then" when used with the Past Simple.
I've already finished it (as early as now) / I was already very tired (as early as then).
Syntax and semantics - English verb tenses and their uses
The adverb yet is compatible with the present perfect:
1. He hasn't died yet, has he?
2. Has he died yet?
3. He hasn't arrived yet.
4. Has he arrived yet?

In My Dreams is a song cycle for mezzo-soprano, narrator, and piano, based on the poetry of survivors of childhood sex trafficking. It was created to raise awareness of trafficking through music and poetry through the expression of individual dreams and voices. In My Dreams recounts the devastating loss of childhood and celebrates empowering words of survival. The poetry was collected in poetry workshops held in Calcutta and Delhi India in January 2009. After the poems were selected, translated, and edited, composer Dr. Gerard Yun set them to music. This document outlines the process of creating and performing this unique …

After its dizzying climb, Wall Street is looking at the economy more skeptically.
Stocks retreated more than 2 percent and bond prices rose after two reports showed that the economy is not bouncing back as quickly as investors hoped. The Commerce Department said retail sales fell 0.4 percent in April, while RealtyTrac Inc. reported a troubling rise in home foreclosures.
According to preliminary calculations, the Dow Jones industrial average fell 184.22, or 2.2 percent, to 8,284.89.
Investors are mindful that the Dow Jones industrial average spiked 31 percent from its March 9 lows -- the biggest jump in such a short span since the 1930s. After Tuesday's decline the index is still up 26.5 percent since then, but investors are now wondering if the market will see a sharper pullback.
Analysts say a drop of 10 percent from the market's recent peak would be hardly surprising, especially since recent economic readings have failed to beat expectations.
"Overall, it's just a market that's due for a pause, due for a pullback, due for consolidation," said Quincy Krosby, chief investment strategist for The Hartford. "You don't want markets to skyrocket. The higher you go, the deeper you fall."
Few analysts, however, expect the stock market to sink lower than it did in March.
"What we've done over the past month-and-a-half is remove this idea of Armageddon," said Charlie Smith, chief investment officer at Fort Pitt Capital.
Broader stock indicators sank even more sharply. The Standard & Poor's 500 index fell 24.43, or 2.7 percent, to 883.92, while the Nasdaq composite index declined 51.73, or 3 percent, to 1,664.19.

The Hague Transavia Grand Slam | 15 - 20 July 2014
The Hague, The Netherlands, July 20, 2014 - The names of Grzegorz Fijalek and Mariusz Prudel are now in the FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour record book as the Polish pair became the first men's or women's from the European country to win a gold medal after upsetting Americans Phil Dalhausser and Sean Rosenthal of the United States in the men's finale of the US$1-million Transavia Grand Slam presented by Bas Van de Goor Foundation.
Seeded sixth in the event, Fijalek and Prudel won seven-straight matches in the ninth men's event on the 2014 FIVB World Tour calendar by posting a 2-1 (21-18, 13-21, 15-13) win in 59 minutes over the top-seeded Americans. With the win, Fijalek and Prudel share the $72,000 first-place prize while Dalhausser and Rosenthal split $52,000.
It was the second win this season for the Poles over Dalhausser and Rosenthal, who were seeking to become the first team since the 2011 FIVB World Tour season to win three-straight tournaments. The Americans had won the last two Grand Slam stops in Norway and Switzerland and entered Sunday's finale with a 20-match winning streak that ended when the Poles commanded the third and deciding set by scores of 7-4 and 12-8. Behind Dalhausser, the Americans rallied to 12-11, but Fijalek and Prudel sided out the rest of the way to win their first gold medal match in four attempts.
"This is historical win for Poland," said Fijalek. "Through the years, in The Hague, we got better and finished higher and higher. It's a great step to the world championship next year. There are a lot of fans from Poland, I'm really happy about it and it's a good motivation for us."
When the Americans pulled within a point at 12-11 in the third set, Fijalek said "we called a time out and said to each other: concentrate. It helped and we did it! I can't tell you about our tactics, but we defeated the Americans for the second time this year so we knew how to beat them. In the first set, we had a couple of lucky serves. In the second set the situation was changed and they made two or three aces. But if you have three points up you can win. In the tie-break, we played point by point and in the end we got it. We're going to drink the champagne on our flight to Los Angeles because we don't have time to celebrate in The Netherlands with our Polish fans."
Prudel was also "happy to win today, it's our first golden medal. We won by only two numbers, but it's the best way. Our level in this tournament is very high and constant. We stayed concentrated until the end. There are very many people from Poland, some friends as well, who live and work here. On the court today, I felt like I was in Poland!"
Dalhausser said the Poles "played very well and had some big points in the third set. They also had three net point serves. Rosenthal also lauded Fijalek and Prudel by saying "they're a great team and we got close a lot of times. They had a few more games than we did. I had a lot of shaky passes and a couple of serves coming over. They played great and they deserved to win today."
In the All-Brazilian men's bronze medal match, the eighth-seeded Emanuel and Salgado posted a 2-1 (12-21, 21-16, 15-11) win in 51 minutes over third-seeded Alison Cerutti and Bruno Oscar Schmidt at The Hague Beach Stadium on Scheveningen beach. With the victory, Emanuel and Salgado shared the $40,000 third-place prize while their compatriots split $30,000.
Earlier Sunday, Brazilians Fernanda Alves and Taiana Lima defeated Katrin Holtwick and Ilka Semmler of Germany 2-1 to win the women's Transavia Grand Slam title. Maria Antonelli and Juliana Felisberta of Brazil captured the bronze medal and with a 2-0 (21-13, 21-14) in 35 minutes over the third-seeded Kristyna Kolocova and Marketa Slukova of the Czech Republic.
This coming week, the FIVB World Tour returns to the United States for the second-straight year as Long Beach in southern California hosts another $1-million event. The international circuit returns to Europe in August for stops in Austria (Klagenfurt, July 29-August 3) and Poland (Stare Jablonki, August 19-24).

Greece's $6.5 billion Crisis Plan
In order to fight the financial crisis, Greece will take new austerity measures ranging from cutting civil salaries to increasing consumer taxes. A summary of some of these key fiscal measures can be found here [1].
According to the Associated Press article [2], Prime Minister George Papandreou explained that the country must get back on its own feet with the help of the market and the EU: "Now, it is the time of Europe."
Greece will however turn to the International Monetary Fund [3] (IMF) as a last resort if the cost of borrowing for the country is not brought down with the collaboration of European counterparts such as France and Germany.
Already high unemployment rates in Greece might further be affected by these measures that are also likely to cut back on consumer spending.

The Accounting Historians Journal Vol. 14, No. 1 Spring 1987 Richard. K. Fleischman JOHN CARROLL UNIVERSITY and R. Penny Marquette UNIVERSITY OF AKRON MUNICIPAL ACCOUNTING REFORM c. 1900: OHIO'S PROGRESSIVE ACCOUNTANTS Abstract: Despite the fact that municipal accounting was a signifi-cant and permanent reform of the Progressive era, historians have failed to accord accountants proper credit for their leadership roles. Ohio was an important Progressive state and is particularly suited to an investigation of the contribution made by accountants. Ohio was the first state to require uniform municipal accounting and one of the first to inaugurate budgeting. Municipal research bureaus in major Ohio cities were among the most dynamic in the nation, inspiring important steps forward in cost accounting, budgeting, and the installation of accounting systems. Progressive municipal administrations came to depend increasingly on expert accountants to devise new systems and to audit the results. INTRODUCTION Municipal accounting was chaotic in the late nineteenth century. "Inaccurate," "unintelligible," "defective," and "un-fathomable" were only a few of the pejoratives used in account-ing literature to describe municipal books and systems. There was a singular lack of uniformity — different departments of the same government frequently used totally dissimilar systems. Accrual accounting was virtually unknown; budgeting was infrequent at best; auditing of the city books was rare; and cost accounting methods as basic as central purchasing and stores control were still a quarter-century in the future [Chase, 1902; Goodnow, 1904; Hamman, 1914; Hartwell, 1899]. This lack of accounting system and control was superimposed on an alarm-ing landscape of urban corruption. Cities, growing rapidly as a result of industrialization and immigration, were barely able to provide basic public services with honest administration. In the The authors would like to thank the Editor and several anonymous reviewers for their helpful comments on earlier versions of this paper.

Performing at the Hippodrome Theater in Baltimore is an opportunity that many artists dream of.
For nine Lansdowne High School students, that dream will come true this week.
The Guitar II/III class at the high school has been working with renowned guitarist Kevin Jackson as part of the Hippodrome Foundation's educational outreach program and will perform at 7 p.m. in the lobby at the theater before the 8 p.m. showing of "Green Day's American Idiot" May 10.
"We're the non-profit arm of the Hippodrome," said Oliver Waxter, director of the foundation.
She said the group is dedicated to increasing access to both the theater and the artists who work and perform there.
The foundation began an educational outreach program with Lansdowne in 2011 after music teacher Rebecca Welker contacted the foundation about a possible partnership.
"Right away, we recognized she was someone we were going to be able to count on," Waxter said.
After spending the 2011-2012 school year partnering the school's vocal group with the theater's group Soulful Symphony, in January 2013 the program expanded to include the guitar program.
"Having these professional artists integrate into the class is extremely effective and that's something we want to invest in," Waxter said.
She said the extra attention from a music professional such as Jackson benefits students and teachers.
Lansdowne guitar teacher Rob Tracy has to try to equally distribute his attention to all nine students in the class, which can be difficult, Waxter said.
"He (Jackson) can give the individual attention that is needed," she said.
Junior guitar player and Arbutus resident Josh Stine said he enjoyed having the opportunity to work with Jackson throughout the spring.
"If Mr. Tracy is my man, Mr. Jackson is my main man," he said. "He's a pleasure to be around. He gives us a hands-on experience.
He said he is excited to show off the skills he's learned at the group's performance at the Hippodrome.
"It's kind of a new experience, especially (playing) for a large group of people that I don't know," he said.
"I have a feeling it will be a lot of fun," Stine said.
Tracy, in his first year teaching at Lansdowne, said the program has been great for motivating students who might not be as thrilled about school as others.
"That seems like a gold mine for kids who might otherwise have difficulty coming to school," Tracy said.
"The guitar kids are a different breed," Tracy said.
He said Jackson has served as a role model for the class as well as providing encouragement to the students.
"I think he gave them the opportunity to make mistakes and be OK with it and work through it," Tracy said.
"He's a real laid-back guy and a very go with the flow kind of character, but he's a virtuoso on his instrument," Tracy said.
"A lot of what he imparted to the kids was some of his style," he said.
"I think he inspired some confidence in them," he said.
Tracy said that, prior to this year, the Hippodrome partnership did not extend past the vocal program and he was glad to get the guitar program involved.
"One of the reasons that I came to Lansdowne is because I thought this partnership with the Hippodrome was really great," he said.
Per Jackson and Tracy's combined ideas, the students will perform a variety of pieces ranging from George Washington Carver Jr.'s "Mr. Magic" to The Eagles' "Hotel California."
"I try to give them a good diet of different types of music," Tracy said. "They would probably have never turned on or listened to a jazz piece."
He is also looking forward to performing at the Hippodrome and sees a bright future for the program.
"I feel like this is the beginning of something really good," Tracy said.

Packed to capacity in the lower level on one side of Gillette Stadium on Sunday, Patriots fans watched replays from the AFC championship victory that put New England in the Super Bowl.
FOXBORO — Packed to capacity in the lower level on one side of Gillette Stadium on Sunday, Patriots fans watched replays from the AFC championship victory that put New England in the Super Bowl.
A few minutes later, those roughly 25,000 fans sent the players off in style.
Before a spirited crowd that filled approximately one-third of Gillette Stadium, the Patriots officially began their short journey to Indianapolis by attending a free send-off rally, addressing the fans and returning the appreciation that's been bestowed upon them.
"This never gets old, huh?" running back Kevin Faulk asked the raucous crowd. "The one question I was asked during the offseason was, 'Why are you coming back, Kevin?'
"This is it, right here."
Following the 13-minute program on a stage constructed at the 50-yard line, the players skirted the lower level of seats on their way out of the stadium, high-fiving fans and filming the celebration along the way before boarding busses bound for the airport.
New England will play the New York Giants next Sunday — a little more than four years after the Giants spoiled the Patriots' perfect season with a stunning 17-14 Super Bowl victory.
"We wish we could take all of you guys to Indy with us," said Tom Brady, who will tie the record for quarterbacks with his fifth Super Bowl start. "Hopefully we'll have a lot more people at our party next weekend."
After re-watching Baltimore kicker Billy Cundiff's botched 32-yard field goal attempt in the closing seconds that gave New England a 23-20 win over the Ravens last Sunday, the fans erupted as players filed into the stadium to their traditional entrance music.
A parade of Patriots, including coach Bill Belichick, then made their way to the podium to thank fans for their support.
"You guys are the reason why we're in the spot we're in, because we had home-field advantage throughout the end, and we were able to take advantage and now we're in the Super Bowl," said receiver Wes Welker. "That's what it's all about.
"I promise you all, all of these guys, with the way we're going to play this next Sunday, we're going to give it everything we've got out there and you're going to be proud to support the New England Patriots."
Linebacker Jerod Mayo touched on the difficult year endured by team owner Robert Kraft, whose wife, Myra, passed away July 20 after a battle with cancer. The team dedicated this season to her, wearing oval patches with the initials "MHK" on their uniforms right above their hearts.
Kraft, the final speaker, took the stage to chants of "MHK."
"At the beginning of the season, (Kraft's son and team president) Jonathan and I met with the team and told them that they would wear an MHK patch over their hearts," Kraft said. "And they really dedicated this season to her and all the volunteers in America who make this country great."
Liam Corbett, a fan clad in a blue Rob Gronkowski jersey, recalled attending his first Patriots Super Bowl send-off rally with his father in 2004, when New England beat the Carolina Panthers for the second of its three championships.
Now, with his father unable to attend due to an injury, he made the 50-mile trek from New Bedford with his wife, sister and two children, marveling at how the celebration morphed from roughly a couple hundred fans eight years ago to more than 20,000 on Sunday.
"It gives you more of a connection," he said. "You're able to be here with the team and they're able to see you off and all that, because not everybody can get to Indianapolis. It's pretty cool."
Corbett's wife, Nicole, was focused on creating memories for her almost 2-year-old son, Maximus, and 5-year-old daughter, Aurora, who was sporting a Brady jersey.
"Someone asked why we were coming down ... he goes, 'I could sit on my couch.' I said, 'Yeah, but I can't afford to go to the stadium for a regular game so I'm going.' We love this," she said. "It's exciting. I just like the energy, getting pumped up for the game, especially the kids, it makes great memories.
"It really gives you a lot of history and connection to the team as you get older. (Liam) did this with his dad when he was little and now we get to do it with our kids."

When Union Township Fire Department Lieutenant Robert Cabral attended the International Association of Arson Investigators (IAAI) Annual Training Conference in Texas in late May, he was there to accept the Guy E. (Sandy) Burnett Outstanding Accomplishment Award on behalf of the Clermont County Fire Investigation Team. Little did he know that he personally would be honored with the highest award presented by this organization, the Life Membership Award, for his involvement with the organization on a chapter level.
Cabral is currently serving his third term as Ohio Chapter president, which is unprecedented in the organization's history. The Ohio Chapter of the IAAI was the first within the organization and was established in the early 1950s.
The IAAI is comprised of 80 chapters that operate in at least 39 countries. It is internationally recognized as the leading organization in fire investigation training and certification to firefighters involved in investigation.
Cabral said that the Union Township Fire Department is " … committed to providing service that exceeds the expectations of the community it serves."
"One aspect of the service is the process of investigating the origin and cause of fires that occur within its jurisdiction," Cabral said. "The results of the investigation can be as serious as fire set in commission of the crime of fraud, to fires of an accidental nature where a consumer product has failed, causing property damage or injury to persons or death."
"The commitment and dedication to this aspect of the service we provide is visible in the quality of the investigation and reputation that Union Township's fire investigators have amongst our peers in the industry," Cabral said.
The Clermont County Fire Investigation Team (CCFIT), under the direction of Team Commander Chief Stan Deimling, serves as a committee of the Fire and EMS Chiefs Alliance of Clermont County. Its current membership numbers about 35, including members of the Union Township Fire Department, and includes representation across most of the fire agencies in the county as well as other agencies such as the Clermont County Sheriff's Office, Clermont County Coroner's Office, and the Ohio State Fire Marshal's Office. In addition, the team maintains close working relationships with multiple law enforcement agencies, including the Clermont County Prosecutor's Office, the Ohio State Arson/Crime Lab, insurance agencies and other public and private cause/origin investigators.
Deimling said that every fire that occurs in Clermont County is investigated initially by the local authority having jurisdiction in an attempt to determine origin and cause. If additional assistance is needed, the CCFIT is asked to respond.
"Since 2008, the team has responded to 355 fires," Deimling said. "Through the careful scientific analysis of a fire scene, in addition to establishing intentional acts, it is possible to detect trends in accidental fires, such as product defects, improper installation, improper use or equipment failures, which, when coupled with fire prevention and education efforts, can lead to the prevention of future similar fire-related events."
CCFIT meets every other month to conduct case reviews on every incident, get updates on open cases, and conducts trainings on current standards, equipment and operating guidelines. Since 2010, it has hosted an annual regional fire investigation conference, bringing together fire investigators (both public and private), law enforcement and insurance representatives from throughout the region.
Currently, CCFIT has three team leaders and is supported by two fire investigation vehicles, one support/command trailer, and an ignitable liquid detection K-9, handled by Deimling.
CCFIT was recognized in August, 2016, by the Ohio Chapter of the IAAI, with a Certificate of Merit Award for " … continually providing significant contributions in support of all types of fire or explosion investigations including the suppression of arson in the State of Ohio," and honored with the Guy E. (Sandy) Burnett Outstanding Accomplishment Award in May, 2018.

Leicester 18-22 Saracens, Aviva Premiership Final, May 28
Gutsy Saracens secure Premiership glory
ESPNscrum Staff
May 28, 2011
Gutsy Saracens secure Premiership glory%]
Saracens completed their march to the summit of English rugby with a dramatic 22-18 victory over Leicester Tigers in the Aviva Premiership Final at Twickenham on Saturday.
Twelve months on from their heartbreaking defeat in last year's showpiece, Mark McCall's side produced a performance replete with heart, skill and perserverance to see off the champions, whose recent free-flowing style was masked on this occasion by a conservative gameplan and breathless defence from their opponents.
Saracens winger James Short scored the only try of the game in the first-half, with 19-year-old Owen Farrell kicking 17 points in a display that underlined his admirable nerve and fighting spirit. England fly-half Toby Flood slotted a record-equalling 18 points in response but his side's efforts with ball in hand were continually blunted by Sarries, who put in a mesmerising shift in defence late on, seeing off 31 phases of Leicester attack to win their first ever English title.
Farrell opened the scoring with a fifth-minute penalty, one given extra significance by the sin-binning of Leicester scrum-half Ben Youngs. Sarries had found a midfield gap thanks to some dancing feet from Brad Barritt, with scrum-half Neil De Kock - in the side thanks to a coin-toss - arriving at full tilt to take his side within inches of the opening try only for Youngs to meddle with the ball on the floor.
A superb take by Matt Smith put the Tigers on the front-foot immediately after and the centre's good work was rewarded by Flood, who slotted the resulting penalty to level the scores after Schalk Brits had been pinged for not releasing. Youngs returned with the game still all square, his side having survived a hairy moment when stand-in scrum-half Anthony Allen fired a pass over the head of Flood in-goal.
Flood grabbed a three-point lead for Leicester with his second penalty on 17 minutes but it was short-lived as George Chuter had 30 seconds to forget. The Tigers hooker was flattened by a charging Brits and then lunged for De Kock at a ruck, conceding three points to the boot of Farrell just before the 20-minute mark.

Goode missed with an ugly drop-goal as Sarries turned the screw, but thankfully for the challengers, Brits and Short were far more clinical in their execution to conjure the opening try. The ebullient hooker set off on another surge just outside the Leicester 22, haring across the face of Marcos Ayerza before unleashing Short - one of 10 players to re-sign with the club this week - for the corner.
The TMO confirmed a superb finish from the youngster and Farrell added the extras from the touchline, making it 13-6 after half an hour. Leicester continued to struggle with Saracens' pace and verve, with another penalty, this time for offside, coughed up after De Kock and David Strettle had combined to set hearts racing among the Tigers defence.
Farrell kicked his third penalty but Leicester went back-to-basics and secured a much-needed three points after Martin Castrogiovanni had worked over Matt Stevens at the scrum, making it 16-9 at the break.
Three minutes into the second-half Saracens were back out to 10 points in front, with their scrum on top in the first set-piece. Farrell's nerveless kick was reward for a stronger effort by Stevens but Leicester responded with a 50th minute penalty by Flood, which had been won by some aggressive counter-rucking.
The Leicester playmaker missed the first shot of the final moments later following changes in the front-row, where Rhys Gill suffered at the hands of Castrogiovanni, and fluffed his lines again with 25 minutes remaining as both sides attempted to turn up the heat with a raucous five minutes of ambitious rugby littered with its fair share of mistakes.
Leicester struggled to find any fluency in the face of Saracens' aggressive defence but caught a break when Hugh Vyvyan - who became the Premiership's most-capped player by coming off the bench - could not resist diving through a ruck for the ball. This time Flood found the target and narrowed the gap to four points as the clock ticked towards 70 minutes.
Farrell and Flood traded penalties as the decibel level inside Twickenham rose ever higher, with a knock-on by Leicester replacement Billy Twelvetrees puncturing the mood after Alesana Tuilagi had been hauled in by the peerless Brits - the giant Samoan winger having briefly threatened a carbon copy of his semi-final try against Northampton.
Leicester's scrum had one more tale to spin however and after Flood had kicked a penalty to the corner, the Tigers set about their task. Wave after wave of pick and drive forced Saracens to put their bodies on the line, but the men in black were more than equal to the task, with a shrill blast of the referee's whistle deciding the game in their favour.

The Bush Inn
Standing tall on the corner of William and Malvern roads since 1849, the Bush Inn was once the place to meet your friends and family as you returned from the city on your horse and cart. With a refurbished dining room and a new menu devoted to the art of steak, this old world, family friendly restaurant is busy looking to reaffirm itself as the place to eat in Toorak. Dark wood, leather and maroon carpet give the place a cosy but sophisticated air. Although steaks are their bread and butter, they do offer a variety of other pub favourites like a parma, a chicken pot pie and fish and chips. Delivered to us by some very friendly staff we ordered the Beef Burger that came on a brioche bun with a beef pattie, bacon, egg, cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickles and a side of chips and onion rings.

American Metalcraft
American Metalcraft was incorporated in 1947 by Archer Kahn. In 1961, Herbert Kahn succeeded his father as President, and in 1995 David Kahn and Susan Kahn Bank took over the business, marking the transition to a third generation of family leadership. In over 57 years of family ownership, the company has expanded from 6,000 square feet in Chicago to over 120,000 square feet in west suburban Melrose Park, Illinois, and from a handful of employees to almost 100. American Metalcraft began with a limited product line and a local customer base to a company with customers in all 50 states and over 75 countries around the world. The company has evolved from job shop to a company that manufactures over 2000 items in house for its own product line.

Consumer spending probably rose last month as Americans set aside the threat of higher taxes next year while shopping for the holidays, economists said before reports are to be released this week.
Household purchases increased 0.4 percent last month after declining 0.2 percent in October, according to the median estimate from 66 economists surveyed by Bloomberg ahead of the figures from the US Department of Commerce to be released on Friday.
Other reports may show home sales and demand for long-lasting goods climbed.
"The economy is holding in," said Jim O'Sullivan, chief US economist for High Frequency Economics Ltd in Valhalla, New York. "For the household sector, the housing numbers have been quite good. The labor market numbers are OK."
A jump in auto sales last month is among the evidence that the world's largest economy is rebounding from the damage caused by Hurricane Sandy.
Improving property values and falling fuel costs are helping brace consumers against the more than US$600 billion in tax increases and government spending cuts that will take effect next month without action from US Congress.
"There is a lot of nervousness about the 'fiscal cliff,' so I think how that gets resolved will be important to what happens next," O'Sullivan said.
Retail sales rose 0.3 percent last month after a 0.3 percent decrease in October, the Commerce Department reported the week before last. Ten of 13 major categories showed gains, led by a 1.4 percent increase at auto dealerships, a 2.5 percent jump at electronics outlets and a 0.9 percent pickup at clothing stores.
Cars and light trucks sold last month at a 15.5 million annual rate, the fastest pace since February 2008 and up from 14.2 million in October when Sandy kept East Coast shoppers away during dealers' busiest time of the month, data from Ward's Automotive Group show.
Limited Brands Inc, the operator of the Victoria's Secret lingerie chain, reported comparable sales rose 5 percent last year, topping projections for a 3.4 percent gain. The Columbus, Ohio-based Limited Brands said Sandy, which swept ashore on Oct. 29, reduced its comparable store sales growth by as much as 2 percentage points.
From July to September, household purchases contributed 1 percentage point to US economic expansion, which proceeded at a 2.7 percent annual rate.
The rate of economic growth for last quarter will be revised up to 2.8 percent when the Commerce Department issues updated figures on Thursday, according to a median forecast in a Bloomberg survey.
An improving housing market is supporting the economy. Residential construction has contributed to growth for six consecutive quarters, the best showing since 2005, as builders begin to restore the inventory of new homes.
After three consecutive gains, homebuilding took a breather last month, economists surveyed predicted.
Housing starts fell to 873,000 annual rate after reaching a four-year high 894,000 rate in October, economists project a Commerce Department report will show on Wednesday.
Building permits, a proxy for future construction, probably rose to an 875,000 annual pace.
Nonetheless, the US government spending cuts and tax increases that Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke termed the fiscal cliff during congressional testimony in February is starting to show up in some measures of consumer confidence.

Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
Machine (konica C3070) IC417 Rip with ver 2 software
Problem when creating a booklet workflow which has a different media for the cover.
Created imposition in impose and ticked cover, but only selected both sides option. Saved as a preset in impose. Opened preferences for job selected media from paper catalogue (100gsm) Then went to layout and selected impose and my preset template. Then edit and selected cover where i then selected the media (200gsm) from my paper catalogue.
Went back to media. Mixed media settings showed the cover stock.....All is well. I then selected relevant finishing options and saved the whole thing as a server preset so I can access as a workflow.
The job prints correctly the first time I use the workflow, but if I select a different quantity it doesn't print correctly and loses the cover settings.

The Elway Poll found that 70 percent of people were inclined to vote for Initiative 594. The same poll showed that 46 percent of people were inclined to vote for a competing measure, Initiative 591, which would prevent Washington state from adopting background-check laws stricter than the national standard. Thirty-two percent of respondents said they were inclined to vote for both initiatives in November. The poll of 506 registered voters was taken July 8-11. The margin of error was plus or minus 4.5 percentage points. Pollster Stuart Elway says support for the background checks measure, I-594, remained strong compared to a previous poll in April that showed 72 percent inclined to vote for it. Meanwhile, he said voters were cooling to I-591. In April, 55 percent of voters said they were inclined to vote for the initiative that would bar Washington from going beyond the national gun background check standard, which requires checks for sales by licensed dealers but not for purchases from private sellers. Both ballot measures began as initiatives to the Legislature. The House and Senate held public hearings on both earlier this year but did not advance them out of committees, meaning voters will decide the issues in the fall. According the Public Disclosure Commission, the people in favor of new background check requirements for gun purchases — I-594 — have raised nearly $2.7 million. The groups opposing that initiative and supporting one on protecting gun rights — I-591 — have raised about $800,000. RELATED: Video: A debate about gun initiatives I-591 and I-594 Editorial: In competing gun measures — Yes on I-594; No on I-591 Jerry Large: Until we act on gun laws, we can't move on from tragedies Guest opinion: Gun laws and what the Second Amendment intended Poll: Which Washington state gun control initiative do you support?

China Gas Inks Deal After Fending off Sinopec
China Gas Holdings Ltd., better known as the firm that thwarted a $2.15 billion takeover from Chinese state-owned behemoth China Petroleum & Chemical Corp., or Sinopec, has struck a deal of its own.
The Chinese piped gas distributor has signed an agreement to buy U.K.-listed Fortune Oil PLC's gas distribution assets in China for $400 million, according to a statement.
Followers of the long-running saga of China Gas and Sinopec, which started when Sinopec launched an offer for the company in December 2011, may recognize Fortune Oil as an ally which stepped up to aid China Gas founder Liu Minghui in its defense. China Gas said that the offer "failed to reflect its fundamental value."
Sinopec and its partner, ENN Energy Holdings Ltd., another gas supplier, abandoned the hostile bid in October.

Windows Phone 7 is right around the corner, but that's not stopping manufacturers from releasing Windows Mobile 6.5-equipped devices. Equipped with Windows Mobile 6.5.3, the LG Fathom hits Verizon just in time for the busy summer shopping season. The device joins Verizon's packed lineup of smartphones, and given the price point ($149.99 after mail-in rebate), it could be a tough sell. Should you pick up a Fathom when you could get a Palm Pre Plus, BlackBerry Bold 9650, or Motorola DROID for the same price? Read on to find out!
Design & Features
The Fathom ships with the device, battery, an AC adapter, USB cable, earbuds, a pouch, a 4GB microSD card (installed in phone), and instruction manuals. Coming in at 4.53 inches long by 2.20 inches wide by 0.65 inch thick, the device weighs 5.36 ounces, making it similar in size to the LG enV Touch. The device sports a 3.2-inch LCD with 480 x 800 pixels. It's no competitor to the AMOLED offerings out there, but it's still a decent display for everyday use. The build quality is very good, and after several times of opening and closing the hinge, I was unable to detect any defects.
The Fathom's exterior has quite a few buttons. On the left side, the 3.5mm headphone jack, volume rocker, and microUSB charging port can be found, while the microSD card slot, stylus, shortcut key, and camera button can be found on the right side. The power button is on the top, and the 3.2-megapixel camera is located on the back. Unfortunately, there's no flash with the camera, so pictures will require an adequate amount of light to come out well.
Usability & Performance
With Windows Mobile 6.5.3 Professional, the phone sports a few unique features that distinguish it from Windows Mobile handsets of the past. From the lock screen, users can forego unlocking the device and use the "gesture" pad instead. The gesture area acts as a sort of shortcut springboard, with letters like "i," "e," and "p" jumping directly to individual applications. You can also activate your music from the lock screen by sliding the clock to the left or right.
Under the hood, the Fathom offers a 1 GHz Snapdragon CPU, and from regular tasks to multitasking, everything was mostly snappy with little to no lag. That being said, the recurring issue I had was that the device was occasionally erratic when performing some tasks. Simply put, I can't quite figure out why things open so quickly sometimes and lag at other times. Scrolling itself was often an issue – I found that there were times where one scroll accomplished what I was trying to do, and other times where it required two. I've reviewed several Windows Mobile-powered Snapdragon devices, and I think the OS is causing the slowdown. Combine that with a resistive display (which isn't as consistent as a capacitive display when it comes to gestures), and you have the occasional scrolling issues.
The on-screen keyboard is terrible, in my opinion. Individual keys are tiny, and the auto-correction software isn't that great. I found myself pressing all over the place, and after a week of use, "hi, how are you?" becomes "hi, gig aw you?" when I try to type on it. That being said, the physical QWERTY is very good. Offering four rows, the layout is very good. The keyboard is shifted to the left due to a D-pad located to the right of the keyboard, but unlike the DROID, the Fathom is short enough that it doesn't pose an issue,
The Fathom offers a 3.0-megapixel camera, which as you would expect, isn't the greatest. Images are relatively blurry (despite the autofocus), and colors are slightly washed out. Editing options include image size, scene mode (auto, portrait, landscape, sports, night), color effect (sepia, mono, negative, solarize), white balance (auto, incandescent, sunny, fluorescent, cloudy), self-timer (3-10 seconds), shot mode (normal, continuous, panorama), ISO (100, 200, 400, 800), image quality (super fine, fine, normal), and shutter sounds (five, including the option to turn it off). Video recording is decent for a quick video on the run.
I worked with the Fathom in the Charlotte metropolitan area, and call quality was very good throughout my testing. Callers were able to hear me well, and they reported a static-free experience. I had the occasional cut out on my end, but nothing major. When visiting a known Verizon Wireless trouble spot in Northeast Charlotte, I noticed a bit of static and an increase in audio dropouts, but I was able to maintain the call. Like other Windows Mobile devices, the Fathom often displayed zero "bars" despite coverage being When testing the speakerphone in a noisy department store, I was able to hear my callers without issue. Though they said that they could hear the background noise, we were able to carry on a conversation. I successfully paired my Plantronics Voyager Pro Bluetooth headset to the device without a problem, and callers were pleased with the audio quality. The Fathom is a Verizon Wireless "world phone," so it comes equipped with a SIM card slot for overseas use. Pricing varies depending on the country, but you can use the included Verizon SIM card and keep your number while traveling.
With a 1500 mAh battery, estimated talk time is about 7 hours, and estimated standby time is just under 20 days. With moderate use including calling, text messaging, browsing the internet, and use of several pre-installed applications, I was able to make it to the end of one full day before the unit needed to be charged. It's slightly better than other smartphones on the market, but if you're a power user, I would recommend a microUSB car charger or a spare battery.
The Fathom is an EVDO Rev. A device, so expect to see decent speeds when browsing the web and using data-centric applications. CNN's mobile website loaded in about 10 seconds, and the full PhoneDog homepage loaded in about 23 seconds. Data-heavy apps like Marketplace, VZ Navigator, and Mobile E-Mail worked well. Should you be outside of a 3G coverage area (which is hard, given Verizon's solid 3G map), the device offers 802.11n Wi-Fi connectivity as well.
Though I think Windows Mobile is a bit antiquated when looking at webOS, iPhone OS, and Android, the LG Fathom is a decent mid-range smartphone that should make a lot of people happy. It has a great QWERTY keyboard, world roaming capabilities thanks to a SIM card slot under the battery, and decent battery life.

One of the highlights in Picturebox's 2013 schedule is the release of So Long, Silver Screen, the first major release by the French artist Blutch, a.k.a. Christian Hincker, in North America. Although he's one of the most important European cartoonists of the past 20 years or so (his work has greatly influenced such artists as Craig Thompson and Jessica Abel, just to name a few), Blutch's work has strangely remained unreleased in the United States until now.
As the title suggests, So Long, Silver Screen is Blutch's ode to the magic of the cinema. I'll let the Picturebox press release take it from there:
What are the movies? What effect do they have on us? Why do we love them so much? Blutch addresses all these questions in a series of interlocking short comics that move between scholarly history, romantic theory and ribald vignettes, featuring a motley cast of actors and topics including Burt Lancaster, Jean-Luc Godard, Luchino Visconti, Claudia Cardinale, Tarzan, and Michel Piccoli. As much a visual essay as it is graphic novel, a daydream and a fantastic meditation on the other art of telling stories with images, So Long, Silver Screen is a new height for an uncontested master of contemporary cartooning.
The highly influential and award-winning French cartoonist Blutch has published over a dozen books since his 1988 comic debut in the legendary avant-garde magazine Fluide Glacial. His titles include Mitchum, Peplum, and Le Petit Christian. His illustrations appear in Libération, The New Yorker and Les Inrockuptibles. So Long, Silver Screen is his first full-length work to be published in English.
Translated by Edward Gauvin and sporting a cover design by David Mazzucchelli, the graphic novel will be available in stores in April. See a 10-page preview below.

BALTIMORE – Both of the 4x100m relay teams took the top spot in the respective events and multiple other Retrievers earned event victories as the UMBC track and field hosted the Big Dawg Invitational, Saturday at a rain-soaked UMBC Stadium.
The day was cut short, however, as the meet was called at 3:10 p.m. due to heavy rains and impending lightning in the Baltimore area.
Sophomore Redatu Semeon (Waldorf, Md./Thomas Stone) opened the day in fine fashion for the Retrievers, winning the 3,000m steeplechase with a time of 9:30.20.
The UMBC women's 4x100 continued the winning as freshman Mercedes Tillman (Waldorf, Md./North Point), junior Mercedes Jackson (Huntingtown, Md./Huntingtown), sophomore D'Nique Phillip (Elkton, Md./North East), and junior Briana Young (Bowie, Elizabeth Seton) combined for an ECAC-qualifying time of 47.46.
Jackson later took the top spot in the prelims of the 100m (12.04) and then earned the win in the finals (12.35). She was not able to compete in the 200m dash due to the weather. Sophomore Marie Yuille (Bowie, Md./Oakland Mills) took second in the 100m dash.
Young, meanwhile, recorded a career-best run in the 400m hurdles, clocking in at 1:05.51, to place second and take the eighth spot in the Retriever record book. In the men's event, junior Charles Bolinger (Bowie, Md./Eleanor Roosevelt) finished second and senior John Rybak (Baltimore, Md./Archbishop Curley) took fourth.
The men's relay team then took to the track with sophomore Afees Abolurin (Baltimore, Md./Milford Mill) working with seniors Dosu Teyibo (Silver Spring, Md./Barrie), Sean Cooper (Waldorf, Md./North Point/Delaware State), and Dennison Long (Greenbelt, Md./Eleanor Roosevelt/FIU) to construct a winning time of 41.89 and meet the IC4A standard.
In the field events, junior Alisha Beeman (Bridgeport, Conn./Bunnell/Hartford) captured the top spot in the high jump for the second straight weekend. After besting the field last week at the FSU Relays, Beeman cleared 1.60m (5'3") to win in Baltimore. Senior Mo Drammeh (Frederick, Md./Thomas Johnson) made it a sweep by tying for the top spot in the men's event by clearing 1.90m (6'2.75").
Junior Thor Serafenas (Olney, Md./Good Counsel/Clemson) also picked up a victory at the home meet, taking top honors in the men's hammer throw with a heave of 54.61m (179'2"), an IC4A-worthy distance. Senior Ray Stinsman III (Mt. Laurel, N.J./Lenape) took third with a throw of 47.91m (157'2").
In the women's event, sophomore Nneoma Edokobi (Rockville, Md./Richard Montgomery) placed second, but set a new personal-best with a toss of 43.03m (141'2") to jump up to sixth all-time in the Retriever record book. Senior Heidi Danielsson (Jonkoping, Sweden/Sanda) also competed, finishing sixth with a top toss of 29.39m (96'5").
Sophomore Vincent Rentzsch (Oranienburg, Germany/Elite Sportschule Potsdam) took the top spot in the javelin once again, topping the field with a throw of 58.49m (191'10"), while senior Sean Kshmetski (Pasadena, Md./Chesapeake) placed third (46.04m; 151'0").
In the discus, senior Yao Adantor (Laurel, Md./Reservoir/Morgan St./Maryland) recorded a toss of 43.63m (143'1") to place second while Serafenas placed fourth (42.52m; 139'6").
Senior Trae Proctor (Brandywine, Md./Thomas Stone) sprinted past the field in the prelims of the 110m hurdles (14.27), and then replicated his feat to take the win in the finals (14.40).
In the 800m run, junior Mary Katherine Kulp (Vestal, N.Y./Vestal) placed second with a career-best time of 2:18.47 to move up to seventh in the all-time records. Classmate Sarah Daly (Lake Orion, Mich./Lake Orion) excelled in the 1,500m, finishing second, but moving up to fourth in the UMBC record book with a time of 4:39.58.
Freshman Abigale Slonski (Griswold, Conn./Griswold) claimed the ninth spot on the UMBC all-time list for the long jump with a leap of 5.05m (16'7").
The Retrievers will head south once again next week (April 4-5) as the team splits up to compete at the Pepsi Florida Relays at the University of Florida and the Colonial Relays at William and Mary.
