Create a photo booklet
It was a few weeks before Christmas 2007 and I was preparing for my first family reunion held in the summer of 2008. I sorted through my Sort Your Story Kapke photo file (1800 and early 1900s) and found a few photos of my fathers family, many without names or dates. I created three "simple" photo booklets from scanned photos. In these booklets I included as much information as possible and sent the photo booklets to my father for Christmas.
Interview family members
When I prepared to interview my father at our 2008 Reunion, he pulled out his set of photo booklets and spoke for over an hour! I never had to ask one question! Arriving home, I created many short family videos from "one" interview and updated those "simple" photo booklets to a self-published book our family can enjoy many years to come.
A few of these video's can be found on my Sort Your Story YouTube and Vimeo page.
Two videos in particular are of my fathers WWII experiences. My project for this holiday season 2012 is to create a book of my fathers WWII experience; easy to complete as my fathers military photos and records are stored within my Sort Your Story photo and military folders.

The stories are available on my fathers Sort Your Story Profiler database. Organized all in one place!
Are you using Sort Your Story to record your family's history? Have you created a photo booklet for your family members? If not, what's stopping you? Organizing made easy, Sort Your Story.

Singapore Airlines A380 makes emergency landing
SINGAPORE (AP) — A Singapore Airlines Airbus A380 superjumbo jet flying from London to Singapore was forced to make an emergency landing in Baku, Azerbaijan, after cabin pressure dropped, the airline said Monday.
It said oxygen masks were deployed and none of the 467 passengers and 27 crew members on board was injured.
The airline said in a statement that it was seeking clearance from local authorities to transfer the passengers to a hotel until a replacement aircraft arrived from Singapore. It didn't say what caused the loss of cabin pressure. Airline officials couldn't immediately be reached for comment.
The airline said on its Facebook page that a noise was reported from one of the main deck doors on the plane's earlier flight to London. The door was inspected by engineers on the ground in London but nothing unusual was found and the plane was cleared for continued operation, it said.
Airbus said in a statement that "We confirm that the flight was diverted to Baku. We are following up on this issue and providing technical assistance to the airline."
Singapore Airlines has 19 A380 superjumbo planes in its fleet, with five more on order.

The Chestnut Hill Community Association board heard a presentation from community manager Celeste Hardester at its Sept. 26 meeting about the steps necessary to acquire 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status for the association.
The board began exploring official nonprofit status in earnest earlier this year.
Two options were suggested to the board, although no formal action was taken at Thursday's meeting. Instead, the board decided to have a committee explore those possibilities and suggest a course of action.
There are two basic choices. The main difference between the two would be how the CHCA would handle the Chestnut Hill Local, which it owns.
The first option would Be to make the CHCA, now a Delaware not-for-profit corporation, a Pennsylvania, 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation and the Local would continue to be run as a non-profit it would continue to own.
The second option would also involve the CHCA becoming a 501(c)(3) corporation, but the Local would be set up as a limited liability corporation (LLC). If the CHCA chose to spin the Local into an LLC, it would also have the option to continue to manage the paper or to set up a managing entity that would do so on it's behalf. This arrangement could be similar to the way the Chestnut Hill Community Fund is managed by its own board, which serves at the pleaseure of the CHCA.
Board member Richard Snowden summarized the issue by saying it was a matter of weighing the benefits of how to pay fewer taxes versus how to maintain control of the Local once it's broken off. Snowden felt the board should focus on keeping the structure as close to its present shape as possible while still qualifying for 501(c)(3) status.
Snowden was also concerned that if the Local operated as a nonprofit entity, there could be limits on what it might be able to say.
"I don't think anyone around the table wants to put a muzzle on the Local," he said.
"The Local is the central issue here," said board member Art Howe.
Howe described the newspaper as "a declining asset that we're barely managing," adding that there are plenty of examples of publications that became nonprofit entities.
He offered his expertise in managing media properties to the board in helping to make that transition.
The board approved a motion to set up a formal committee to further explore the options presented.
"It's probably a good idea to let the public see this process," said board member Bob Rossman.
Top of the Hill dental practice
The board voted unanimously to support a special exception needed from the city's Zoning Board of Adjustment by Drs. Jacob Orozco and Abbey Sullivan-Orozco, an orthodontist and pediatric dentist respectively, who are planning to open a dental practice at 8705 Germantown Ave.
Zoning for the Top of the Hill plaza requires a special exception for medical practices comprised of two or more practitioners.
After a brief introduction from the Orozco's lawyer, Michael Gumbel, Joyce Lenhardt, vice president of the CHCA's Physical Division, reviewed the review process for the board, explaining that Orozco and Sullivan-Orozco attended meetings with the Land Use Planning and Zoning Committee, the Streetscape Committee and the Development Review Committee. She also explained that in the course of those meetings, a question as to the ownership and usage rights of the parking lot behind the Top of the Hill plaza has, in the past, come into question and that there remains some concern.
That discussion continued after a unanimous vote by the board to write a letter of support to ZBA in favor of granting the special exception to the dental practice.
Lenhardt said she had spoken with the attorney for Spa Elysium at 55 Bethlehem Pike, saying it might be open to joining the Chestnut Hill Parking Foundation. Spa Elysium has laid claim to 80 percent of the parking spaces in the lot.
A representative for the Chestnut Hill branch of the Free Library said that it "desperately needed" a handicapped parking space, and discussions with the lot owners have made no progress for a year.
Chestnut Hill Friends Meeting
The board welcomed new institutional member Nell Kahil from the Chestnut Hill Friends Meeting and voted unanimously to congratulate her on the new meetinghouse at 100 E. Mermaid Lane.
"We're thrilled to death," Kahil said. "After 40 years we've finally come to fruition."
The new meetinghouse, which features an open roof called a Skyspace designed by internationally renowned artist James Turrell, has been the focus of attention for some time. Lenhardt asked whether non-members of the Friends Meeting could see the Skyspace.
"There will be two mornings at dawn and two evenings at dusk," Kahil said. "We're ready to have people come and visit."
Chestnut Hill fire station
Physical Division vice president Joyce Lenhardt gave a brief update on the status of the Chestnut Hill Fire Station at 101 W. Highland Ave. While she stressed that no formal decisions have been made, she told the board that the city is now leaning toward replacing the trucks kept at Station 37 with smaller trucks the existing station can accommodate.
More than a year ago, the Philadelphia Fire Department approached the community association seeking its input and support for a plan to deal with the problem of increasingly wide fire trucks and the inability of the current station house to accommodate them.
Community members did not want the city to widen the existing doors on the historic fire station building to accommodate wider fire trucks. The Philadelphia Fire Department investigated the possibility of relocating its trucks to another, newer station elsewhere in Chestnut Hill.
It appears the city is now moving toward remaining in the current station and finding smaller trucks that can be accommodated by the existing doors. Additional updates will follow.

Today Show visits campus to record Brandeis spirit
Students crowd Shapiro Campus Center to prove they've got what it takes
For a few hours today, it seemed more like the day after finals than an ordinary September afternoon. With a "Today" show van parked at the Shapiro Campus Center, and Pit Bull pounding through enormous speakers, hundreds of students danced and cheered in front of rolling cameras to show their love for Brandeis.
Thanks to the efforts of student events chair Rachel Nelson '13, Reed Zukerman '13 and many others, Brandeis has emerged as one of six finalists in Kathie Lee and Hoda's College Challenge, a contest created to see which college or university has the most school spirit. The "Today" show is conducting an online vote all week and the school that receives the most votes [vote here] will host Kathie Lee and Hoda, and their "Today" show crew for a one-hour campus broadcast on Oct. 1.
Sept. 21, 2012:
A party and viewing of the filming will take place on Friday in Ridgewood Commons. The party will start at 10:30 a.m. and viewing will begin at 11 a.m. Student Activities will supply donuts and coffee and encourage students to vote more.
"I'm so excited," said Nelson, as she stood watching the students dance and toss blue rubber balls high in the air. "There are so many people here — we couldn't have asked for a better crowd. Everyone is pumped up. We have face paint, T-shirts and signs. It's awesome."
Andrew Darnell '13, who also works as a D.J. on campus, said he was really impressed that Brandeis is one of the six finalists.
"I guess it's just a testament to our spirit," said Darnell. "I think we have way more than people give us credit for, and I think a win would bring Brandeis national recognition and make other kids realize what a great university we have here."
Jamele Adams, associate dean of student life, said, "Brandeis being recognized is not only good, but a glimpse into the beauty and brilliance that feeds positive energy, justice, enjoyment and love to the bright future of the human family. Recognizing Brandeis brings people together."
Harry Kaufer '13 said he definitely thinks Brandeis has the most school spirit among the six finalists.
"I just hope we can properly convey that," Kaufer said. "One of the things that makes Brandeis so special is that everyone is truly committed to making the school a better place. With only 3,500 undergrads, at the end of the day, it's the quality of the students that counts more than the number of them."

Kodak's New Battle Plan: Cheap Printer Ink
from the ah,-finally! dept
Kodak is supposedly announcing new photo printers today, with the explicit focus on the fact that their ink is a hell of a lot cheaper than anyone else's. In fact, they're also promoting that the ink cartridges hold a lot more ink, so you won't have to refill as often either. In other words, they're doing what any competitor in the space should do: beating the competition by offering what customers want, rather than trying to squeeze extra money out of them at the expense of reputation. The reports suggest that Kodak will still make plenty of margin on the ink sales, but that it might finally force some of the other printer companies to lower their prices a bit. Sometimes it takes a while, but it looks like the market is finally doing what it's supposed to.

still from 'Observance', 2002
video installation, colour high-definition video on plasma display mounted on wall
Photo: Kira Perov
Accession No: WAG 2004.24
December 18, 2004 - April 17, 2005
Exhibition now finished
The American artist Bill Viola was born in 1951. He is a pioneer and leader in the field of video art, perhaps best known for his large-scale projected room installations. More recently he has made more intimate small-screen artworks, including those shown here. Viola has greatly expanded the potential of his chosen medium, bringing it to wider public attention.
This exhibition celebrated the purchase by Walker Art Gallery of Viola's major work, 'Observance'. Two additional pieces, 'Mater' and 'Witness', loaned from private collections, were included to complement 'Observance'.
In 1998 Viola was one of several scholars invited to the Getty Research Institute in California to study 'The Representation of the Passions.' The participants examined how artists in the past dealt with the challenge of arousing and depicting extremes of emotion through their work. They also considered how contemporary artists could learn from this.
As a result, Viola created a series of new videos, collectively called 'The Passions'. In these, inspired by historical religious paintings, he explores the intensity of the human spirit. His method is to use extreme slow motion concentrated on the faces and body movements of his performers. The three works shown were part of 'The Passions'.

Celebrity Law Breakers -- Why They Get Off
Celebrity Law Breakers -- Why They Get Off
Sometimes when celebs break the law, they're forced to face the music. But other times, well ... not so much. Some of our favorite stars have been caught recently, apparently bending the law -- on camera!!! -- yet they they seem to get off scot-free.
From underage drinking to alleged hit and run, here are some of the most intriguing recent incidents caught on tape!
Incident: Last week, Paris Hilton backs her Range Rover into a Honda Civic and appears to drive away without leaving a note. (Read the article: Driving While Paris)
Stakes: In California, it's a crime to damage a parked car and drive off without leaving a note. The misdemeanor is punishable by a maximum of six months in jail and a $1,000 fine.
Disposition: So far Paris is in the clear, but it's not over yet. A source in the L.A. City Attorney's office tells TMZ that lawyers have been talking about what they can do, but so far no action has been taken. Paris' rep, Elliot Mintz, told TMZ that Miss Hilton did indeed leave her contact information with a "parking attendant at the parking garage."
The owner of the Honda has not filed an accident report.
And you surely remember the infamous hit and run in Paris' Bentley last November with then-boyfriend, Stavros Niarchos, at the wheel. No one was cited in that incident, either.
Incident: In December 2004, Paris saw her sex tape, 'One Night in Paris,' on sale at a newsstand in West Hollywood, Calif. She decided to take a copy without paying -- and it was all caught on tape thanks to a security camera.
Stakes: Petty theft. The first offense is punishable by a maximum of six months in jail and a $1,000 fine.
Dispo: Security tapes be damned! The L.A. County D.A. rejected the case, citing "a lack of sufficient evidence." Huh?
Incident: Steve-O, star of MTV's "Jackass" and "Wild Boys," flaunted what appeared to be a bag of pot in front our TMZ camera last November.
Stakes: Possessing less than an ounce of marijuana is a misdemeanor in California, punishable by a maximum fine of $100. Possession of more than an ounce of marijuana is punishable by up to six months in jail and a $500 fine.
Dispo: Steve-0 was not cited and he can't be, because he left with the evidence. Interestingly, a few weeks after the incident, Steve-O told TMZ, "I didn't want to get the LAPD in trouble. But it's like if you take me to jail right now, I don't give a f**k. I smoke weed."
After TMZ showed our video to the LAPD, the department initiated an "administrative investigation" to determine if officers acted properly. Six months later, we're told the investigation is ongoing. (Read the article: LAPD Internal Affairs Requests TMZ Exclusive Video)

Mobile home decorating presents challenges regarding space. The rooms in mobile homes are small and will require ideas and tips about decorating small spaces. If you have plans for decorating your mobile home, they may need to be compromised somewhat because of the space. However, there are ways to achieve your ideal theme in mobile home decorating.
The first step in mobile home decorating or decorating any small space is to get rid of the clutter. Sort through your things and get rid of any unnecessary or unwanted articles. This will automatically make your space look bigger. Find places to hide things like under table skirts or behind closed doors. Making sure everything is neatly stored and out of view will open up the space. While moving things and clearing away, you may want to rearrange your furniture. Make sure large pieces of furniture are not blocking walkways or entrances. Also place tall pieces of furniture on a wall and not in an open space. Mobile home decorating is about creating space in an area that doesn't have much space.
Choosing color is important in mobile home decorating. In order to create an open, larger atmosphere, you should use light, cool colors. Painting your walls in soft tones of blue or green will provide an open, airy feel. You should also choose colors within the same color family in mobile home decorating. Not only when picking paint colors but also when choosing fabric for curtains or upholstery. (more…)

The bobber sat in the water quietly for only a couple of seconds. The there was a tiny twitch that sent out small rings of waves. Then it happened a second time. There was no subtle third time as the bobber was pulled below the surface.
The bobber sat in the water quietly for only a couple of seconds. The there was a tiny twitch that sent out small rings of waves. Then it happened a second time. There was no subtle third time as the bobber was pulled below the surface.
"Start reeling," I told my 4-year-old grand-daughter Lila. She responded with an awkward but fast reeling of her tiny spincasting rig. The rod tip bent as the line danced back and forth in the water. The grin on her face was wide as she finally got the sunfish to the shore. To say the least, she was very proud of that fish. It was the largest bluegill caught that day. Catching the biggest fish that day was also a big deal for bragging rights because her two older cousins were also fishing. Amanda, my 12-year-old ballerina that has danced for several seasons with Festival Ballet's production of the Nutcracker, and Scott, my 11-year-old football player, were enjoying catching bluegills with their grandfather.
We had a nice morning of fishing with a total of 20 fish caught and released. No one, however, wanted to go home. They all had things to do that afternoon so the only way I could get them away from the pond was to tell them were we out of worms. Members of the sunfish family are the ultimate training fish for kids. They hit a baited hook like they've never seen a decent meal. They fight with plenty of furry for something that only weighs a few ounces. Best of all, they are easy to find in ponds and lakes all over the country. You can't really say they hook themselves but it's close. Although they are in the same family as large- and smallmouth bass they look nothing like each other. Sunfish from the side have an oval appearance but looking straight at they are very flat. This gives them the ability to swim in deep cover like reeds and heavy vegetation to forage for food and also hide from the big bass that look at sunfish as a great meal.
Taking a kid fishing for sunfish is a simple thing. A spincasting rig is the center of the gear you need. A spincasting reel like the famous Zebco 33 has started plenty of young anglers into the sport. They are easy to use and need a minimum of maintenance. They are basically a spinning reel with a cover. The cover prevents the line from unwrapping off the spool in the hands of an inexperience angler. To cast, the back of the reel has a button. The button is pressed down just as the cast begins. Once the rod is pointing forward during the cast. the button is released. That in turn unlocks the line and it sails out. A matching lightweight rod completes that rig.
For kids. I like using a bobber as the weight to cast and also as a strike indicator on the water. It takes a little experience to know what you are feeling when a fish takes the bait on the bottom of a pond. With a bobber you don't need any experience at all. If the bobber goes under the surface, you have a fish on and the fight begins.
One of the problem of catching sunfish is they tend to swallow the hook deep. Kids get upset if they think the fish is going to die because of the hook. Many times you see a bit of blood in the mouth or near the gills. One of the things I point out is if you cut your finger and it bleeds, you don't die. I tell them it's just because of the hook sticking them. Using a pair of hemostats. deeply set hooks can be removed. Once they release the fish and it swims away they understand it's no big deal.
To help making the release easier, I use circle hooks. These hooks have been used for years in big game fishing. Most hooks are usually J shaped. Circle hooks are more C shaped. If a fish swallows the entire bait and you set the hook too fast the bait comes flying out of the mouth. The reason is the shape of the hook. The very tip of the hook curves in and that prevents it from setting as it comes straight out of a fishes mouth. With a circle hook, you just pull lightly and as the hook comes out and makes a turn away from the mouth it sets in the corner of the jaw because of that curved in tip. This makes unhooking and releasing the fish easy. It also prevents gut-hooking a fish which happens all the time with J shaped hooks.
Another thing about taking kids fishing is they usually don't have a lot a patience to cast the bobber and let it sit for a long time waiting for a fish to come for it's meal. I don't have that kind of patience either. What I tell them is to cast the bobber and baited hook out into the pond and wait for all the ripples to go away. That's usually only 30 or 40 seconds. After the ripples disappear I tell them to very, very slowly reel the bobber back. This does three things. It gives the kids something to do, it makes sure that the bait at some point may drift into a fish's view and it also gets them into the mindset for using artificial lures when they are ready.
Many times with sunfish, as the bobber and bait get near the shore there is a hit. If they had just left the rig out in the pond then reeled in fast for another cast, they wouldn't have caught anything. They are also a fun fish for adults. I've had seasons when the bass are just not biting and I'll grab my 4- or 6-weight fly rod, and using a streamer or a tiny surface popper, have a ball catching fish after fish. By downsizing the gear, a sunfish gives a great fight.
Sunfish are the perfect starter fish for kids. They are also plenty of fun for adults.

A measure to extend the U.S. debt limit for nearly four months moved closer on Tuesday to a vote and the White House said the president would sign the bill if it cleared Congress, easing uncertainty that could have threatened the U.S. economy.
Continue Reading Below
The debt limit "suspension," which would allow the government to borrow money until May 19, is due to come to a vote in the Republican-controlled House of Representatives on Wednesday without amendments.
House Rules Committee Chairman Pete Sessions of Texas said he believed the measure would achieve "near unanimous support" from the House Republican caucus, which would guarantee its passage.
President Barack Obama "would not stand in the way of the bill becoming law," White House spokesman Jay Carney said earlier at a briefing. Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has similarly expressed approval.
The administration and some Democrats made clear on Tuesday they would prefer a longer-term reprieve from having again to seek an expansion of the nation's borrowing capacity. But the White House welcomed movement on the contentious issue, which has financial markets worried about a self-engineered U.S. debt default.
"What happened ... was a very significant development in terms of de-escalating the sense of conflict over this," Carney said.
Even a sermon delivered at a traditional prayer service at Washington's National Cathedral a day after Obama's inauguration cited the clash over the debt limit as a strain on the nation's spirit.
Reverend Adam Hamilton, a Methodist pastor from Leawood, Kansas, told the attendees, which included Obama, that "to many Americans we seem like a house divided that cannot stand" because of political bickering and discord over issues like the national debt ceiling and healthcare.
Hamilton likened the partisan rancor in Washington to the Old Testament friction between Moses and his people as he led them out of Egypt.
The United States is on track to run out of room under its congressionally-imposed borrowing limit of $16.4 trillion sometime between mid-February and early March, and a vote to suspend the debt ceiling would take the prospect of default off the table at least temporarily.
"I'm glad we are not facing a crisis here in a matter of a few days," Reid of Nevada said.
As the debt limit bill moved through Congress on Tuesday, some lawmakers expressed concern the short-term nature of the measure would not calm jittery financial markets. The conservative group FreedomWorks urged lawmakers to oppose it, saying it failed to cut spending.
But another conservative group, Club for Growth, said it would not oppose the measure but instead save its energy to push for spending cuts and limits to government growth in the remaining budget debates.
Congressional Republicans have in the past balked at raising the debt cap without securing matching or greater spending cuts in exchange, and have raised the specter of default as a bargaining chip.
But they backed down from that stance at a policy retreat last week, preferring to shift the focus of budget battles with the White House to a March 1 date for automatic deep spending cuts and a March 27 expiration of funding for government agencies and programs.
Instead of making budget cuts a precondition for expanding U.S. borrowing authority, the Republican bill would require both the House and Senate to pass budgets by April 15, on pain of having members' paychecks withheld should they fail to do so.
The White House cautioned that an extension only would push a debt ceiling crisis into the not-too-distant future.
"A temporary solution is not enough to remove the threat of default that Republicans in the Congress have held over the economy," the White House's budget office said in a statement.
Republicans, even those who have chafed under the leadership of Speaker John Boehner, fell in line behind the debt ceiling extension.
"I am actually okay with what leadership is doing right now," said Idaho Representative Raul Labrador, who was one of the 12 conservative House members who tried to oust Boehner as the House leader in early January.

Chhattisgarh Turns Back on Mining Industry
Chhattisgarh – one of India's three largest mineral-producing states – has had enough of industries like mining, power, metals and cement.
The local government says it doesn't want any more such projects, although the state has long relied on these industries for growth.
Instead, Chhattisgarh is keen on reinventing itself as a hub for making auto-parts, processed food, electronics and software, says Raman Singh, the state's chief minister. "I have been telling investors in one-to-one meetings … that we are not interested in new projects in the core sectors," Mr. Singh told the Wall Street Journal. Over the weekend, Mr. Singh hosted a two-day investors' meet aimed at persuading companies, mostly domestic, to invest as much as $22 billion in the state.
The "core sector" is shorthand for mining, metals, cement and power generation businesses. The state's large reserves of bauxite, coal and iron ore have attracted significant investment from state-run and private companies, including Coal India Vedanta Resources and Jindal Steel & Power
"A power project takes 10,000 crore rupees ($2 billion) to build but employs 700 people, while an IT company would invest just 10 crore rupees and employ 600. We want to bring in industries that create jobs," said Mr. Singh, a senior politician with the Bharatiya Janata Party, the main opposition to the Congress-led central government.
Unemployment is a major problem in Chhattisgarh, a state that, despite its mineral wealth, is one of India's poorest.
Endemic poverty is one of the reasons many locals support left-wing rebels, known as Maoists, who operate in the state and inhabit its densely forested areas. Chhattisgarh is a hotbed of rebels who claim they are upholding the land rights of local tribes and rural poor against the government and industrial interests.
Maoist rebels have opposed industrial and mining projects, which typically require large swathes of land, making it difficult for companies located in areas with strong Maoist presence to operate. Apart from Maoists, local villagers and tribals have also become increasingly vocal opponents of mining and power projects in mineral-rich states like Chhattisgarh.
As a result, Mr. Singh says that for the state to guarantee land and water to large mining or power projects "is not that easy."
"Water and land are limited. How many projects can the state support?" said Mr. Singh. "The government has enough land for industries that don't require much land, be it agriculture-based companies, auto or technology companies, so we are encouraging such investments," he added.
Mr. Singh said that while the Maoist insurgency remains a problem, the government has been able to contain it. "The problem is being fought on two fronts. We are educating children in tribal villages so they don't pick up guns later in life, but when insurgents kill people, the police can't just stand and watch. So we fight back too."
The inside of Mr. Singh's modest bungalow in Raipur, the capital of Chhattisgarh, is crowded with security. Cameras and cell phones are not allowed inside the premises, which are patrolled by officials armed with walkie talkies.
It's unclear how successful Chhattisgarh's investment pitch will be. While Indian states like Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Gujarat and the Delhi have seen a steady flow of investment in recent years, security issues mean that states like Chhattisgarh are a tougher sell. Large Indian and global companies in technology and automobiles sectors stayed away from the investors' meet over the weekend.
There is scope for investment in other sectors, like agriculture. Investors said that the state's large production of fruits and vegetables is likely to be attractive for companies looking to make juices and other processed foods.
But can this really replace industries like mining in the state's economy?

When the mood suits, Emmanuel Adebayor can be an incredible striker. Two goals for Tottenham in last weekend's 3-1 Premier League victory over Swansea at White Hart Lane took the Togolese star's tally to 14 goals in 30 appearances this season.
The 28-year-old is enjoying an impressive season-long loan spell in north London, scoring and creating goals, and playing the sort of target man role that Spurs boss Harry Redknapp has for so long been searching for.
A brief stint at Real Madrid between January and May 2011 also went some way to recovering Adebayor's damaged reputation as one of Europe's most predatory forwards, with a return of eight goals in 22 appearances.
He signed off with a hat-trick on the final day of the 2010-11 La Liga season, leading to calls for Los Blancos manager Jose Mourinho to make the African's temporary move to the Santiago Bernabeu permanent.
A transfer to Spain failed to materialise, and Adebayor was allowed to join Tottenham on loan at the start of the 2011-12 campaign, after failing to build bridges with Citizens boss Roberto Mancini following their falling out last year.
The Italian axed Adebayor from City's pre-season tour of America and made him train with the reserves, opting instead to keep faith in Carlos Tevez, Mario Balotelli and Edin Dzeko, whilst also completing the £38million signing of Sergio Aguero.
But, with Tevez missing for most of the campaign, and looking off the pace as the crucial end of season run-in approaches, and Dzeko having failed to score for the past seven games, Mancini's attacking woes have been added to with Aguero sidelined due to a freak injury, and Balotelli becoming a liability.
Now there are concerns that the decision to axe Adebayor could cost Manchester City the title. A popular character in the dressing room, his teammates were genuinely sad to see him loaned out, and have been impressed by his all-round contribution at Spurs.
When things are good, it's true that Adebayor brings a lot to whichever team he is turning out for. Saying and doing the right things. But, a word of caution. When things are bad, there are few more frustrating players, who have proven equally difficult to handle.
Just ask fans of Arsenal, the club where Adebayor first arrived on the Premier League scene. After Arsene Wenger paid £7million to bring him to England from Monaco, "Baby Kanu" as he was affectionately nicknamed due to his resemblance to former Gunners star Nwankwo Kanu, set about establishing himself as a long-term replacement for a player he used to idolise as a youth.
Three-and-a-half years on the red side of north London ended on a sour note, after the African ace forced through a £26million move to Manchester, signing a lucrative five-year deal with the newly-rich Arab-owned club.
If his lack of loyalty wasn't enough, Adebayor further angered Arsenal fans when he famously ran the length of the City pitch to celebrate his goal in front of the visiting supporters in a 4-2 Premier League victory, just one month after completing his controversial exit.
Earlier this week, Rafael van der Vaart urged the Tottenham board to tie up a permanent deal for the former Gunners frontman, but a potential sticking point is Adebayor's astronomical wage demands; he earns around £170,000-a-week at the Etihad Stadium, and has hinted he would be unwilling to take a significant pay-cut to fall in line with Spurs' current wage structure.
Redknapp is good at managing egos, and has got the best out of Adebayor thus far. But what happens if there is increased competition for places, and he is no longer guaranteed his place in the team?
Daniel Levy hasn't established a reputation as one of the most shrewd Premier League chairman in the business for nothing, and surely he will be cautious of sending Tottenham spiraling into financial despair by agreeing a deal of anything close to what Adebayor wants.
It would lift the club's salary ceiling by nearly double, and risk creating a queue of players demanding to double their own salaries. As reliable as he's been in his first nine months at White Hart Lane, is Adebayor really worth the gamble?

• Please visit the city's website for a "first 72 Hour" checklist for information on stocking up for this storm:
Emergency Operation Command Center
-Residents are advised that the city's EOC is open. Those with non-emergency storm-related questions or concerns should call 468-4048 for assistance.
Sewer Authority
In anticipation of the potential for power outages during the upcoming storm, the Warwick Sewer Authority is reminding its customers with grinder pumps that, if power is lost, the pumps will have limited capacity and those customers should therefore limit water usage; without power, the grinder pumps will be unable to discharge into the main sewer line.
WSA suggests that grinder pump owners prepare for a power outage by running an inside faucet for about 10 minutes or until the pump starts up. This will evacuate any wastewater stored in the pump and maximize storage capacity. Continued reduced water usage will allow for use of the plumbing facilities for a longer period of time, hopefully until power can be restored. If there is an extended power outage, WSA will issue additional information and guidance.

options for a primitive data viewer for old data
Is there a way to have a nanoHUB application that just looks at old data files and loads them in? Could there be a rappture tool that just looks at the user's directory – and just lets them load in old data?
I know rappture 2.0 will do that. I wonder if there is an opportunity to have a data browser like this?

Chestnut Hill has finally gone Hollywood. At least it will if NBC's drama pilot "Do No Harm" makes it to television. Film crews were out on Tuesday, March 6, shooting a scene on Bethlehem Pike around the Chestnut Hill East train station, a situation that had curious Hillers calling the Local all day for more information.
"Do No Harm" stars "Rescue Me's" Steven Pasquale as Dr. Jeffery Kohn, a talented neurosurgeon with a violent split personality that threatens to destroy his career and personal life. Kohn has managed to conceal his alter-ego until he becomes resistant to his medication.
The television series is written and produced by David Schulner and directed by Michael Mayer.
The show also stars Phylicia Rashad, a.k.a. Clair Huxtable on NBC's "The Cosby Show," and Alana De La Garza ("Law and Order" and "Law and Order: L.A."). De La Garza plays Dr. Lena Steck, a confident neurosurgeon who is attracted to Kohn. Rashad plays Dr. Vanessa Young, the chief of surgery and Kohn's boss.

Feds Looking for More Wild Horse Holding Lots
RENO, Nev. (AP) — Federal land managers are under fire from animal welfare activists for seeking extra holding space for wild horses removed from Western rangelands.
With current facilities nearing capacity, the U.S. Bureau of Land Management is accepting bids until Aug. 29 from contractors interested in either operating short-term corrals in 31 states in the Midwest and East or long-term pastures.
After removing horses from the range, the bureau places them in short-term facilities until they're either adopted or shipped to pastures in the Midwest where they spend the rest of their lives. The bureau routinely thins what it calls overpopulated herds.
But horse advocates say the agency continues to "stockpile" horses at a growing cost to taxpayers with about as many mustangs now living in holding facilities as on the range.

Let $\mu$ be a function on the complex plane with the property $\mu(z) = \overline{\mu(\bar{z})}$, such that $\mu(z) = \epsilon e^{-2\pi i \bar{z}}$ on the upper-half plane, where $\epsilon$ is a complex number such that $|\epsilon|<1$.
I'm interested in the solution to the following Beltrami equation with this Beltrami coefficient:
\begin{equation} \mu \frac{\partial f}{\partial z} = \frac{\partial f}{\partial \bar{z}} \end{equation}
Now, since $|\mu| = |\epsilon|e^{-2\pi y} < 1$ (since $y >0$), there exists a unique quasiconformal solution $f$, satisfying $f(\bar{z})=\overline{f(z)}$ and fixing the points 0, 1, and infinity.
I'm basically trying to understand how $f_z$ grows.
Now, because $\mu$ is such a simple function, I feel like one should be able to explicitly write a solution in this case. I've tried many different approaches, but I have been very unsuccessful. I tried looking in Ahlfors and a few other references, but I haven't been able to find anything too useful.
Any ideas?

Look to Build on Last Year's Result
NEW HAVEN, Conn. — With two victories in a row under its belt, the Yale men's golf team enters the Apr. 26-28 Ivy League Championship in strong form to contend for the title.
In the past two weekends, the Bulldogs have notched up wins at the Apr. 13-14 Princeton Invitational and the Apr. 20-21 Century Intercollegiate. On both occasions, the Elis were behind after the opening day of play but stormed home during the final round to claim the championship.
Those two victories will give the Yale golfers plenty of confidence as they head to the Caves Valley Golf Club in Owings Mills, Md., for the 54-hole Ivy League Championship. On the par-71 6,942-yard course, the Elis will look to build on their result at last year's Ivy League Championship, when they finished in sixth.
"The players are very excited to keep the momentum going for the conference championship," said Head Coach Colin Sheehan '97.
Based on this season's results, the Bulldogs are shaping up well for this weekend's competition. At the Princeton Invitational, the Elis beat out all seven other Ancient Eight teams, and at the Century Intercollegiate, Yale topped Brown, Cornell, Dartmouth and Princeton.
As a result of the season so far, Princeton is the top-ranked Ivy League team according to GolfStat. The Tigers are ranked No. 129 in Division I, just ahead of Yale, which sits at No. 130. The next highest ranked team is Penn, at No. 169.
All the Yale golfers have been contributing to the team's success. Senior captain Bradley Kushner, juniors Sam Bernstein and Sean Gaudette, sophomore William Davenport and freshman Joe Willis have all notched up strong performances in recent weeks, and will look to take that momentum into the weekend's competition.
"They are working hard to prepare for Caves Valley which is an incredible venue for this event," Sheehan said. "As always, their goal is to play to their highest standards. If that's accomplished, the results can be what they may."
The last time the Elis claimed the Ivy League Championship was in 2011, when they won by 20 strokes to take home their first Ivy League title since 2003.
Players will tee off for their opening round on Friday starting at 8:00 a.m. The second round will commence at noon Saturday, while the final round kicks off at 8:00 a.m. Sunday.
