Person familiar with talks: Buffalo Bills have reached deal to sign rookie wide receiver Woods
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. – A person familiar with negotiations says the Buffalo Bills have reached an agreement to sign receiver Robert Woods, their second-round draft.
The person spoke on the condition of anonymity Monday morning because the team has not announced the move.
Buffalo selected Woods 41st overall out of Southern California last month. He was regarded as the most polished among the draft-eligible receiver prospects following a solid three-year college career.
Woods set a school record with 252 career catches in 38 games. He also finished with 2,930 yards receiving and 32 touchdowns.
He will be given an opportunity to compete for a starting job opposite Stevie Johnson.

The bridge that Community Service-Learning built
SUMMARY: Since its inception, Community Service-Learning has become a special part of the Madison Experience, an avenue of learning with dynamic impact.
A commitment to involvement
Twenty years ago two visionary educators seized a chance to launch a program at James Madison University that would entwine the institution with its community, transform its students into enlightened citizens and put world-changing opportunities within the grasp of scores of young people. Since its inception, Community Service-Learning has become a special part of the Madison Experience, an avenue of learning with dynamic impact.
In 1985 as the university reviewed its general education program, "there was an emphasis on innovation, doing new things," says Ann Myers, head of JMU's Department of Social Work. While Madison students had long had a history of volunteer service in the local community, Myers, a social work professor at the time, and sociology professor Cecil Bradfield saw an opportunity to develop a program that had at its core a value near and dear to their hearts. "Both of us had a very strong commitment to the idea that a university needed to have involvement in the community," she says.
in the spring of 1988, JMU's pilot service-learning program began. "There were about six agencies and 75 students in the program, and we just continued to grow," says Myers.
Service with learning objectives
The early growth was a reflection of hard work on the part of Bradfield and Myers. Although each professor had worked with community agencies in volunteer efforts, they now faced a new challenge — introducing a formal program that established and integrated course and learning objectives into community service. "The difference with service learning is the connection that is made with very specific courses and concepts. While volunteer and community service are highly valued, there is little benefit to students in terms of their academic application of concepts to courses unless someone is helping them make that connection," says Myers.
Over the ensuing years, service learning became increasingly engrained in the Madison culture. There is no doubt of its critical value in the education of students according to current Community Service-Learning Director Rich Harris ('77). "Community service-learning can be key to the metamorphosis of a student into a community member who will make life in his or her neighborhood and, maybe on a larger scale, better for everybody.
A bridge to a better world
Today, scores of community programs reflect the power of JMU's service-learning equation. Madison students assist the elderly in retirement homes and engage them in meaningful activities at community centers. Other students work with children and adults with disabilities in a variety of settings and activities. Public health and environmental efforts are fueled by JMU students who provide support in widely varied arenas, from technological assistance to help with small-scale sustainable farming operations. Madison students work at homeless shelters, thrift stores and food banks. They tutor neighborhood children. They mentor immigrant workers with the difficult task of assimilating into a new culture.
Last year, Community Service-Learning helped nearly 1,900 students participate in service experiences, facilitated 34 Alternative Break Program trips and partnered with 117 organizations directly and many more in auxiliary capacities. Extrapolating the total numbers from its 20-year history, however, is not what is important. In many ways, numbers are inadequate when measuring the impact of service learning. What is important is that the bridge that Community Service-Learning built is certain to carry many more Madison students into lives where they will be the change, making their communities and the world better for everyone.

Smart911 Lets People Register their Cell Phones so that Emergency Personnel Can Find Them Even If the Person is Non-Verbal or Unconscious
LAYTON, UT – Eighty-five percent of people today use cell phones exclusively.
That can make it difficult for first responders to send help if a 911 caller is unable to give them information as to their location or the nature of the emergency.
But Layton residents now have an advantage. They can register their cell phones through the new Smart911 program and anytime they have an emergency in Layton, dispatchers will be able to send help, even if they can't speak or can't identify their location.
Layton dispatch is the first police communication center in the state to have the Smart911 program.
It's a free service to those who register, and is paid for by the communication center, according to Karl Kuehn, communications manager for the city.
It allows Layton residents, and others who may spend enough time in the city to register their cell phone. Those who register create a safety profile for their household that includes any information they may want 911 to have in the event of an emergency.
Information residents can provide ranges from the expected С allergies, medical conditions, if there are pets in the house, to the less expected С if a family member has a mental illness or is autistic, conditions that may affect how the family member may react to first responders. Families may even post pictures of their children, in case the children become lost or is kidnapped.
That's an aspect of the program dispatchers especially appreciate, because they can immediately get that child's photo out to emergency personnel.
Leslie Richards with the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill, (NAMI) sees a real benefit in the program for those with mental illness.
Because the registration form allows virtually anything the registrant wants to be included, families of mentally ill individuals may stipulate something like that a psychiatrist be informed in case of emergency with a mentally ill person.
"If a mentally ill person is in the midst of a breakdown or a psychotic episode, they may not be in a position to explain what's going on (to first responders)," Richards said. "It may appear to be something else."
In such a situation, if police or paramedics know they're responding to someone with a mental illness, the person may wind up in the hospital rather than jail, Richards said.
Dispatchers can also alert first responders to situations like Penny Bell's. Bell is confined to a wheelchair. Her service dog, Twxt, goes everywhere with her.
"Federal regulations say we move as one entity," Bell said. If something happens to her and she has to be taken from her home, first responders know Twxt has to go with her.
"This way we're not separated," she said.
Bell, who also has a heart condition, has a medical directive on a hook by her bedroom closet. The location of that directive is also included on her Smart911 information.
"You can include as much or as little (information) as you like," she said.
Layton Police Lt. Shawn Horton particularly likes the feature that allows him to register the cell phone of his family members, even though they don't live in Layton.
"We spend a lot of time in Layton doing things like shopping and eating in restaurants and it's nice to know we're covered while we're here," he said.
Police, health advocates and dispatchers would all like to see the program expand into other Utah dispatch centers.
To sign up for the service, visit the Smart911 website at www.Smart911.com.

Former Mayor Jill Hardy led all candidates for Huntington Beach City Council as of Wednesday morning, with Jim Katapodis and former Mayor Dave Sullivan close behind and incumbent Devin Dwyer a distant fifth.
The results, which the Orange County Registrar of Voters called unofficial, also showed Measure Z, the controversial effort to repeal a property tax that helps to fund city employees' pensions, losing by a slim margin of 50.4%.
With all the city's 158 precincts having reported, Hardy held 14% of the vote, with 12.9% for Katapodis and 12.6% for Sullivan. Planning Commissioner Barbara Delgleize placed fourth with 12.5%, trailing Sullivan by less than 300 votes, while Dwyer stood with 9.9%.
There are three open seats on the dais this year, including Dwyer's.
Katapodis, a longtime Los Angeles Police Department sergeant and head of Huntington Beach's 9/11 Memorial Committee, ran unsuccessfully in 2010. Along with Hardy and William "Billy" O'Connell, he was endorsed in September by the city's fire and police associations, which have often backed winning candidates in recent years.
O'Connell, as of Wednesday morning, placed seventh with 8.9% of the vote. The Colette's Children's Home founder also ran unsuccessfully two years ago.
Despite Dwyer's weak finish, voters favored council experience with Hardy and Sullivan. The former, a Marina High School math teacher, served on the dais from 2002 to 2010 and ran again this year after being termed out. Sullivan has spent 12 years on the council, from 1992 to 2000 and from 2002 to 2006.
Hardy and Sullivan could not be reached Wednesday morning. Katapodis, the only finisher in the top six never to have served on the City Council or Planning Commission, attributed his victory to key endorsements and also to his many hours meeting voters in person.
"It's all about knocking on doors," he said. "It's all about talking to people."
Rounding out the field were Planning Commissioner Erik Peterson in sixth with 9.3%, Planning Commissioner Tim Ryan in eighth with 7.4%, lawyer Alex Polsky in ninth with 4%, Realtor Bruce Brandt in 10th with 3.6%, door repairman Tony James Carter in 11th with 3% and photographer Bob Wentzel in 12th with 1.9%.
City Clerk Joan Flynn and Treasurer Alisa Cutchen both reclaimed their seats unopposed.
Huntington Beach Downtown Residents Assn. leader Kim Kramer, whose group endorsed the three leading candidates, applauded the results Wednesday.
"The election of HBDRA-endorsed candidates Hardy, Katapodis and Sullivan reflects a positive change in the direction of our city," he wrote in an email. "For too long, our elected council majority has ignored the concerns of the community. The voters responded on Nov. 6 with their support for change and punctuated it with their lack of support for the status quo."
Kramer's group also opposed Measure Z.
Mayor Don Hansen, who helped place the measure on the ballot, said he was still hopeful that subsequent vote counts would favor it.
"I think the margin on Measure Z is too close to call," he said. "If I were on the other side of the equation right now, I'd be saying the same thing."
Congress, Assembly races
Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, who has served more than two decades in Congress, defeated Democrat Ron Varasteh for the newly aligned 48th district, taking 61.6%.
In Assembly races for a pair newly aligned districts, the leaders held significant margins Wednesday: Huntington Beach resident and businessman Travis Allen with 55.7% over Troy Edgar in the 72nd, Allan Mansoor with 57.3% over Bob Rush in the 74th.
Allen, reached Wednesday morning, expressed gratitude to his campaign team.
"It's just an incredible effort," he said. "It was eight months of strong campaigning. It was a lot of work, and that work energized us going forward to represent the district in the next 12 years.
"I just think voters responded to our message. Our No. 1 priority is getting California's economy back on track, and I'm ready to get started."

Alexander Stegmann brauchte ein neues Anderes Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 33 Designs von 6 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
We are a startup company revolutionising the way businesses can issue purchase receipts. Our vision is a world where you never have another receipt in your wallet or purse again. When you make a purchase, say some jeans, and you pay with your credit card, your receipt will automatically be emailed to you, and stored in an online account so you never lose it!
The face of our company are the actual email receipts.
We aim that businesses use these email receipts as a new direct marketing channel by placing ads on them.
In addition we want to change the perceptions consumers have of receipts (paper is boring, annoying, black and white, polluting, old-fashioned) to a completely new paradigm - the email receipt.
The aim is that consumers open the receipt in their email or online account and are so excited by the design and functionality they can't resist clicking on the ad. Above all the most important information (transaction details) need to be clear, well structured and cleanly presented.
We think out of the box, and want our receipts to have personality and functionality.
There are two audiences to consider:
1 The Retailer
They will suddenly have the opportunity to use a innovative new marketing channel - email receipts. They are the person who want to use this to promote their store and goods. They will need to believe that the design will appeal to their customers and are not perceived as SPAM email. The email receipt is the face of the retailer to the customer.
2 Consumers
The people who are receiving and opening the email receipts after purchase. They want to see the receipt as convenience rather than another advertising mechanism in their inbox. We need to make sure they have all the information they were expecting from a receipt in a more convenient format.
The challenge with these designs are that they need to reach the design conscious Apple user as well as the IT illiterate middle aged house wife.
We want these receipts to be modern, funky, bold and effective. They need to help retailers sell more products and services (through the ads), while being a very clear and useful tool for consumers.
The most important bit is that we are after a design frame with colours, fonts, sample graphics, everything you would use to make it awesome. We will then convert this design into a PDF receipt.
Design an A4 sized receipt. This receipt will need to comprise of the following:
- The advertisements - These can take any form, but essentially think about banners / web ad style ads. Rember it is an email receipt not a spam email.
- Logo of the retailer
- Address/contact details of the retailer
- Transaction details
- Price
- Date Time
- Product number
- Product Description
- Total price
- Other information
- Cashier
- Transaction Number
- Possible transaction barcode
- One line sales pitch
- Payment method
Think outside the box on this one if you like
- off the top of my head
- maps
- a video
- an interactive game.
Say you were in the middle ages, and you had to travel 200 miles on your horse but you had to be there in three hours. Everybody would say feed your horses more, and give them more rest.
One designer might say lets build a engine with four wheels - we want you to be that designer.

The litter was calling me, like granulated pieces of my broken past.
But pooping on the floor was all I had left. They'd taken everything else from me, that night my world came crashing down. A knife in the dark, a cold table. My manhood, gone, along with the rest of the garbage.
Her scent is what brought me back. That hint of sex, and cheap perfume, that told me she was out to get laid, and wouldn't be back to feed me until morning.

When a book is turned into a movie, we often hear the same lament: Damn, they ruined it! The novels beautiful prose and careful plot development are reduced to clichés and excuses for explosions. Beloved characters get written out or transformed into caricatures. (Dont get me started on the butchery of J.R.R. Tolkiens work.)
Thankfully, that didnt happen with Americas most widely read and widely viewed BDSM franchise: the Fifty Shades oeuvre. How did they avoid the problem?
Yes, I know: you've been wounded, and wounded again. The urge to hide is so strong that the simple act of stepping out the door, greeting another day, taking another risk, reflects heroic effort.
Welcome, wounded friend, to the company of the shattered.

I was at the grocery today, picking up a few things to help finish off dinner with friends tonight. (My 14-year-old is cooking. Breaths everywhere are bated.) My cashier was a woman in her 30s, of average build, dark burgundy hair and effusive manner. She was wearing two things that stood out: a man's shirt (old, soft, oxford) and a collar. A Turian-style collar: a finely woven brown leather cord formed into a choker. It rode just above her collarbone, close upon her throat. From the front descending
Researchers often start with the conceit my prejudices brilliantly describe reality and design research projects to celebrate their insights. The best of them, when confronted by evidence that theyre wrong, publicly announce the fact. The rest of them hide the confounding evidence away in a locked file cabinet.

I am on the board of a new non-profit organization and we are going about the exercise of creating a mission statement.
I can't tell you how excited I am. It's right up there with watching paint dry.
I have been through dozens of mission statement exercises over the years. Most were painstakingly tedious. Nothing will drive an impatient soul up the wall more than a group of people who wordsmith for hours simple statements that should take a few minutes to complete.
Of all the mission statements I've read and tried to memorize, those I recall with the least amount of aggravation are the ones focused on a fundamental purpose enhanced by simple core values.
It doesn't have to be complicated. First, we'll assume you know the purpose of your organization. Second, you don't need to sweat the values. Just remember the advice your mom taught you long ago. They still work today.
So let's give this a try.
Here's our goal: make more money.
And let's apply the following values that our moms taught us:
--"Mind your manners." The most important person you'll meet today is the one you are talking to right now, doesn't matter who it is. Go out of your way to be nice to everyone.
--"If you don't have anything nice to say…" You know the rest. Nothing is a bigger morale buster than listening to someone gripe about someone else.
--"Do your homework." Before you turn on the TV or log on to the Internet for some mindless dribble, try reading something on your business or your competition or on leadership. Take notes. The more you prepare the more you succeed. And eat your vegetables, too.
--"Don't sell yourself short." Believe in yourself. Whether you are leading or selling or both, self-confidence is your most important asset.
--"Always say thank you." You can do this with a note to a client, to an employee, to a boss or to a friend. People pay attention when you send a hand-written note. Say thank you out loud a lot, too.
So here's our mission statement: We aim to get rich by living life the right way. See? It works.
If your mom is still with you or even if she's not, may you remember all the basic things she taught you long ago. You know mom never even said they were for the future mission statements in your life. That's a sign of a real leader at work.

The major studios and the Writers Guild of America are putting the finishing touches on a deal that could bring an end to the costly walkout. Today the two sides are expected to finalize a three-year contract that guild leaders plan to present to thousands of writers in Los Angeles and New York on Saturday. The guild board could approve the contract Sunday and encourage writers to return to work the next day, according to people close to the negotiations.
Writers strike: An article in Section A on Friday about Hollywood writers' possible return to work next week said the FX cable channel "decided not to pull the plug" on its series "Dirt" and "The Riches." FX has decided not to produce the second halves of the seasons of the two shows. Each will have a season of seven rather than 13 episodes.
Studio executives and TV producers have been preparing for that day for the last two weeks, hoping to salvage the remainder of the television season by quickly revving up production to bring back some popular TV shows that have been languishing in repeats or were taken off the air.
"Everyone is motivated to get back to work as quickly as possible," said Jonathan Littman, president of Jerry Bruckheimer Television, which produces "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation" and "Amazing Race," among other shows, for CBS. "They want to begin producing as many original episodes as they can."
Movies that were derailed by the strike also could lurch back, including high-profile projects such as Columbia Pictures' "Da Vinci Code" prequel "Angels & Demons" and Warner Bros.' "Shantaram," starring Johnny Depp.
Films are blessed with long lead times, and last summer studio executives accelerated development and production schedules in anticipation of a strike. As a result, the movie industry was not as hard hit by the Nov. 5 work stoppage as broadcast TV.
Production shut down in December and January, after the supply of TV scripts had been depleted. That compromised the season, which officially ends May 21.
It will take four to six weeks and tens of millions of dollars to ramp up TV production in dozens of cavernous soundstages in Los Angeles, Burbank and New York, and not every prime-time series will immediately return to the air.
FOR THE RECORD: This article incorrectly states that FX "decided not to pull the plug" on its television series "Dirt" and "The Riches." FX has decided not to produce the second halves of the upcoming seasons of the two shows: each will have seven-episode seasons rather than 13.
"It's not just flipping a switch and having everything come right back on," said Barry Jossen, executive vice president of production for ABC Studios. "There are a lot of factors and considerations that go into these decisions. We are trying to determine the amount of material that was finished before the strike started, the creative status of the show and the broadcast schedule needs."
Only about 10 to 20 prime-time network programs are likely to return this spring with fresh episodes, including some of TV's biggest hits, such as "Grey's Anatomy" on ABC and "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation" on CBS. Some viewers might not see new episodes of their favorites until fall -- at the earliest. Shows with complex plots, large casts and complicated production elements, such as NBC's "Heroes" and Fox's "24," are expected to roll over to next season.
Studio executives say they can't justify the increased costs of ramping up production for every program halted by the strike. It would cost the studios millions of dollars extra -- an average $200,000 more an episode, according to one estimate -- to produce an abbreviated run for each series. Crews must be rehired, sets need to be rebuilt, and the costs of production would be spread over a smaller number of episodes.
Some struggling shows might not be worth saving. Shelling out millions more for marketing campaigns to try to relaunch an iffy drama could spell sudden death for such programs as NBC's "Bionic Woman" and CBS' "Cane," industry executives predicted.
Television executives are vowing to use the disrupted TV season as an opportunity to do what they have talked about for years: change their decades-old rituals in an effort to contain costs in an era when audiences have declined and technologies such as the Internet and digital video recorders have changed the way people consume media.
"TV executives haven't been sitting around thumbing their fingers during the strike; they have been giving a lot of thought to how they run their business," Littman said. "We're seeing some industrial Darwinism as the business changes."
For decades, broadcast television has operated on a rigid schedule. In the fall, writers submit hundreds of scripts to the networks, which place orders for their top prospects in January and February; producers hire staffs and shoot pilot episodes from February through April in what's typically known as pilot season.
Networks are running out of time for a full-blown development season for next fall, which could give shows such as "Cashmere Mafia" on ABC and "Reaper" on the CW a new lease on life.
Networks plan to scale back the number of pilots they order this year. In recent years, as many as 120 comedy and drama pilots were produced for ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox and the CW, all competing for the vacant slots on their prime-time schedules. Last year the networks ordered about 40 of the pilots to series.
"Broadcast networks can no longer spend tens of millions of dollars every year creating dozens of pilots that never see the light of day," NBC Universal Chief Executive Jeff Zucker said.
Of all the pilots produced last year, only one, "Samantha Who?" on ABC, became a bona fide hit. That's a lousy batting average in an industry that can spend $8 million for an hourlong pilot.
TV executives hope to usher in year-round development and adopt more of a cable-TV programming schedule, where the focus is on ordering fewer shows and introducing them throughout the year.
"We are looking at the long-term health and stability of the business for multiple seasons," ABC Studios' Jossen said.
TV comedies will be the first to go back into production. Multi-camera shows such as "Two and a Half Men" on CBS and "Back to You" on Fox are likely to resume production within the next two weeks. Single-camera comedies, such as NBC's "The Office" and "My Name Is Earl" and CBS' "How I Met Your Mother" also are expected to quickly shift back into gear.
The creator of "My Name Is Earl," Greg Garcia, said he would like to get his writing staff back together Monday. Production should begin within two weeks after the strike ends, Garcia said, because the writers had left two completed scripts that were not shot and had outlined several other episodes.
"We're kind of ahead of the game, so we can mobilize quickly," Garcia said. "But it all remains to be seen."
Established dramas could begin production in March.
Howard Gordon, the show runner for "24" on Fox, said he has been busy contacting his writing staff.
He said production could feasibly resume six weeks after the writers boot up their laptops. But the drama's unique storytelling device, with each of the 24 one-hour episodes equaling a day in the life of terrorist-fighter Jack Bauer, has complicated matters.
"24" typically runs from January to May, but Fox delayed the premiere indefinitely rather than airing an incomplete season consisting of eight episodes that were on hand.
Fox has not decided when the show will return, Gordon said, but is considering three scenarios: airing 12 episodes as soon as possible and returning in the fall for the last 12, running all 24 episodes in the fall or waiting to premiere in January 2009.
There won't be room for every show on the schedule. Some scripted programs lost their time periods to replacement reality shows, as "Chuck" did on NBC to "American Gladiators."
At the FX cable channel, two shows felt the immediate brunt of the strike. Executives decided this week not to pull the plug on the second half of the season for "Dirt" and "The Riches." Both shows had completed seven episodes of what would have been 13-episode seasons when the labor stoppage forced production to halt in December.
Even if the writers could go back to work next week, the network concluded they would not have enough time to complete the second halves of the seasons before May, when a slew of scripted programming is expected to return to the air, making the landscape that much more competitive. FX has not decided whether to pick either program up for a third season.
Dmitry Lipkin, creator of "The Riches," said he was disappointed but understood his sacrifice: "My issues don't hold a candle to what the guild is trying to achieve," he said.
Will Scheffer, co-creator of HBO's "Big Love," said he and the other writers were in the midst of drafting the first six episodes of the show's third season when the strike was called.
"The forced downtime changes your creative mandate in a way that never would have happened had there not been a strike," Scheffer said. "In the shower, you get new ideas. We'll revisit all the scripts. There will be some minor changes and maybe a few major changes that we didn't expect that presented themselves."
As for the strike itself, Scheffer declared it a success.
"It's going to establish the writers' position in Hollywood as being a little bit more substantial," he said. "I think we showed there is an importance to the work, to scripts. That's a huge aspirational thing."
In the short term, he said:
"No one came out of the strike completely victorious. We all came out limping and bleeding."

Many times genealogists have to read between the lines in a document in order to "squeeze out" as many details as possible. Be careful when you do this, making certain you have a valid reason and justification for thinking a record "says more than it does." Always include your line of reasoning and your rationale for going beyond what the document actually says in your research notes.
There are several reasons for doing this: 1) You may forget why you thought the record said more than it did; 2) Someone else may ask "where you got that--I don't see that;" and 3) you may be wrong.
The last reason rarely happens, but is a theoretical possibility <grin>.

The huge fiscal and monetary stimulus dispensed in recent years has staved off the onset of chronic deflation. For now.
|Scooped by VACHEL STANLEY
Epsilon Capital Management Economy Reviews
The huge fiscal and monetary stimulus dispensed in recent years has staved off the onset of chronic deflation. For now.
The deficits created by this spending would be inflationary only if the measures occurred in a period of full employment and created excess demand. That isn't the case in the US, where the large budget shortfalls are a response to private-sector weakness that has depleted tax revenue.
Indeed, even with persistent trillion-dollar deficits and huge monetary-easing programs, the slack we see in the economy reflects the huge size and scope of the offsetting deleveraging in the private sector that I noted in yesterday's column.
Monetary Stimulus: The Federal Reserve and other central banks have been extremely aggressive. First, the Fed pushed the short-term rates they control to almost zero - with little effect. Then it turned to quantitative easing, the enormous purchases of government bonds and other securities that have been tried by the Bank of Japan for years without notable success. The Fed, with its dual mandate to promote full employment as well as price stability, is using a very blunt instrument to try to create jobs.
The central bank can raise or lower short-term interest rates, and buy or sell securities. Those actions have little to do with creating more jobs. In contrast, fiscal policy can be surgically precise, aiding the jobless by extending and expanding unemployment benefits.
Mortgage Rates
The Fed is now buying residential mortgage-related securities as a way to push down mortgage rates and spur housing. But the effect of these measures has been largely neutralised by a number of negative forces, including tight lending standards, low credit scores, "underwater" mortgages, uncertain job security or unemployment and the awareness of consumers that for the first time since the 1930s on a nationwide basis, house prices have dropped substantially and could do so again.
Nevertheless, the Fed is relying on five interlocking steps to increase job creation: First, the central bank buys Treasuries or mortgage-related securities. Second, the sellers reinvest the proceeds in assets such as stocks, commodities and real estate, pushing up prices. Third, higher asset prices have a real wealth effect by making investors feel richer. This, in turn, leads people to spend on consumer goods and services, as well as capital equipment. And last, that spending spurs production and demand for labour.
So far, it hasn't worked as planned. Despite recent improvements, the US unemployment rate, at 7.7 per cent, remains very high by historical standards, particularly more than 3 1/2 years after the trough of a recession. And cautious employers have turned to temporary workers who generally are paid less and are easier to dismiss than full-time ones.
Temporary, Limited Effects: Every round of easing by the Fed has been accompanied by a jump in stocks that lasted only until the next crisis in Europe or the US In addition, the gross-domestic-product bang per buck of new debt isn't what it used to be.

U.S. Consumer Borrowing Up $17.1-Billion in May
Americans stepped up their borrowing in May, helped by the largest monthly gain in credit card debt in more than four years. But overall credit card use is still well below where it was just before the Great Recession began.
The Federal Reserve says consumer borrowing rose $17.1 billion in May from April.
A category that includes credit card debt increase $8 billion.
The brought the level for that measure to $870 billion, below the more than $1 trillion in debt that Americans took on before and shortly after the recession began.
Consumers cut back sharply on their credit card borrowing during the recession and have only been posting modest gains over the past year.

Life goes from bad to worse for former Wallabies playmaker.
Dumped Wallaby Quade Cooper has been involved in an incident at a Brisbane hotel in which he had beer thrown over him.
Cooper, 25, was drenched in beer by a patron at the Normanby Hotel on Sunday, shortly after he was told he would not be part of the Wallabies squad for this month's three-Test series against the touring British and Irish Lions, News Ltd newspapers reported.
A witness said the patron goaded Cooper, provoking an argument, and threw a plastic cup of beer over him.
"Quade did nothing and, to be honest, I was surprised he didn't retaliate because I would have," the witness said.
"He was hit with a full cup of beer. He was soaked in it.
"There was an argument and Quade stood up to him, but he was never going to throw the first punch."
Cooper has a suspended fine hanging over him after he was sanctioned by the Australian Rugby Union last October for bringing the game into disrepute by criticising the Wallabies and coach Robbie Deans.
Cooper was fined $60,000 and banned for three games by the ARU after he lashed out on social media at the "toxic" environment within the national squad and the defensive style of Deans.
The three-match ban was suspended, as was $20,000 of the fine, on the proviso that Cooper is of good behaviour for the next two years.

Geocaching – More than Just Fancy Footwork
Here's some (fairly) simple math. Geocaching = Hiking. Right? Well, the answer is yes and no. Welcome to the "new geocaching math."
Besides foot travel there's a few other modes of transportation that invite geocaching adventure; kayaking, hot air ballooning, off roading, and space travel aboard a Russian Soyuz rocket.
All these means of transportation have been exploited to take geocaching to a new level – or out of the atmosphere. But how about caching by train? It's how the savvy wild west pioneers would have geocached. Now one of the finest examples of powering caching by train takes place, not in the wild west, but in Merry Old England.
Geocacher "Steve-e-b" brought his interests and talents to bare on the task. He launched a website detailing geocaches around 94 stations around Birmingham, England. You can use a drop down menu to access nearby caches for each of the stations. Train + Geocaching = Adventure on a time table. How about that for using simple math to plan your next geocaching adventure?
Steve-e-b and I exchanged a couple of emails. He says he never set out to merge train travel and geocaching, it's just something that happened. "… so many of our first caches were found during shopping trips (or, as my wife would say, during "craftily planned trips designed to avoid shopping"). We always traveled into the city by train or bus, and so geocaching by train evolved from there."
He says he hopes the map inspires those visiting or living in the West Midlands to plan a geocaching journey.
But what have I missed? What other forms of travel combine so well with geocaching and possibly the shopping experience?

Ridgefield baseball upsets New Canaan on the road 7-5
Teams that have replaced every starter from a year ago both in the field and on the mound aren't supposed to knock off defending state champions at their home park.
Just don't tell the Ridgefield Tigers.
After graduating 16 seniors last season, Ridgefield (5-5, 5-3 FCIAC) topped reigning Class L champion New Canaan in a see-saw 7-5 affair Monday at Mead Park. The conference foes recorded four lead changes in the middle innings, before Tiger senior Sam Sarath shut the door with a two-frame save. John Boscia plated the game-winning run on a sacrifice fly in the top of the sixth that put Ridgefield ahead 6-5 before the Tigers added an insurance run in the seventh.
"We kept telling the kids we think there's a good team here," Ridgefield coach Paul Fabbri said. "But I really couldn't keep telling them they were a good team. They had to find out for themselves. And I think they did today."
The loss ended a six-game winning streak for the Rams (8-2, 6-2 FCIAC), who outscored opponents by 58 runs over that stretch. A JR Anderson overthrow in the sixth inning set the table for the Tigers' comeback and marked the game's third error on a tough day defensively.
"It was a sloppy game mentally and physically," New Canaan coach Mitch Hoffman said. "And against good teams that's going to come up and bite you."
Down by one run with six outs to go, Ridgefield worked a pair of walks from Ram reliever Alex LaPolice, who was quickly removed in favor or Anderson. After reeling in a ground ball from the first hitter he faced, Anderson fired high to first base, which pushed the game-tying run across and another runner to third. Then, Boscia recorded a deep out to center that put his team on top for good.
"I was proud of that sixth inning," Fabbri said. "We've been fighting all year, but to do that, that was a really good job."
Though he had handed the Rams a one-run lead after five innings, Tigers starter Joe Ammirato picked up his second win, surrendering four earned runs and notching four strikeouts.
In the bottom of the third, a ground ball that caromed off his leg into right field was the only thing to prevent Ammirato from holding the Rams scoreless during the early going. Instead, Matt Toth plated two runs, before the Ridgefield hurler suffered an unearned run in a tricky fourth.
One inning later, Ammirato induced a pair of fly outs to finish his afternoon, one highlighted by his greatly effective breaking ball.
"Joey did a really nice job and then Sammy (Sarath) came in and polished it off," Fabbri said.
The Tigers opened the scoring with an RBI groundout from Craig Burke in the first inning and added to it with an unearned run in the third. When New Canaan tied the game on Toth's fortuitous base hit and took the lead via an error soon afterward, Ridgefield responded with a pair of runs in the top of the fifth.
Following a Burke walk, Wright Lindgren crushed a double to right and Sarath knocked a run-scoring single to left to tie the game. In the next at-bat, Colin Belardinelli sent an Anderson fastball to center for a sacrifice fly that produced a 5-4 Tigers lead.
Ridgefield 7, New Canaan 5
Ridgefield 101 022 1 -- 7 8 2
New Canaan 002 120 0 -- 5 8 2
Records: Ridgefield 5-5, 5-3 FCIAC; New Canaan 8-2, 6-2 FCIAC. Batteries: R--Joseph Ammirato (W, 2-2), Sam Sarath (S, 2) (6) and Ben Peters and Joseph Coyle; NC--Dan Rajkowski, Alex Lapolice (L, 2-1) (5), JR Anderson (6) and Zack Smith.
Highlights: R--Sam Sarath picked up a two-inning save, while going 2-for-4 with an RBI. Ben Peters and Wright Lindgren each reached base three times and combined for three runs. NC--Matt Toth had a two-run single in the third inning with two outs. Kane Curtin had two doubles with an RBI.

Ellen Behrstock-Sherratt and Allison Rizzolo
Reprinted from Catalyst-Chicago.Org 11/1/2012
Chicago Public Schools teachers recently took to the streets for the first time in a quarter-century to protest the new teacher evaluation system alongside more traditional bread-and-butter issues. But amidst the polarizing debate as to whether striking was the right thing to do, we lost sight of the big picture. Now more than ever, it is important to take a step back from the chaos this controversy created and ask the more fundamental question of whether we are doing right for our citys children in providing each and every one the best teachers who can help them succeed in school and beyond.
Strike or no strike, do we have enough excellent teachers? If the new teacher evaluation system that has fueled so much action and so much debate is used as planned to dismiss under-performing teachers, do we have the types of teachers that we want, and that so many Chicago students need, waiting in the wings?
Recent events have shown how questions about fairnessfairness for teachers, fairness for students, and fairness for parentstoo often trump the raw economic question of supply and demand in teacher policies. That is, are the salaries and working conditions (inclusive of performance evaluations) in Chicagos schools sufficiently attractive to talented professional people? Of course they are attractive for some, but are they attracting enough talented teachers to meet our citys needs?
Do CPS teacher salaries and working conditions entice those excellent teachers already committed to the profession to stay in the classroom for the long-haul, and do they make teaching an attractive career option for talented men and women choosing between many career options available to them? Research conducted by McKinsey & Company on our younger generation of college students suggests that in fact, very few college students from the top-third of their class view teaching as offering them as appealing a career as their alternatives.
If teachers were behaving inappropriately by picketing and partying on Chicagos streets, what would it take to recruit a more professional, and more highly effective, teacher workforce?
Taking a step back from the chaos of the strike to reconsider whether Chicago as a city is doing its part to secure enough of the kinds of teachers that can get all students reading, writing, and mathematically literate, while also developing their aspirational capacity, requires a comprehensive, systemic human capital approach that strategically addresses not only teacher evaluation but also teacher preparation, recruitment, hiring, induction and mentoring, professional development, working conditions, and compensation.
Its time to take the birds-eye perspectivecreating a world-class Chicago teaching forcerather than the worms-eye perspective of striking a deal and getting students back in the classroom. At a national convening of state departments of education, Arne Duncans teacher quality advisor, Brad Jupp, called for statewide conversations among citizens about what the teaching profession ought to look like and how teacher evaluation reforms can serve as a launching point to help schools and the public to realize that vision.
Chicago researchers at American Institutes for Research, with colleagues from Public Agenda, have created a model and free online resource to help teachers spark these conversations in their schools (see www.EveryoneAtTheTable.org). Lets start this conversation in Chicagobook clubs, community groups, and most importantly educators, should use this historic strike to spark a renewed conversation to shape the future of our teaching force and the future of our city.
The national wave of teacher evaluation reforms are playing out differently across the country, with the New York Times publishing an article on New York Citys worst teacher, and a Los Angeles teachers suicide even attributed to the outing of his students poor test scores. What mark does Chicago want to have on the nationthe largest strike, or the largest, most collaborative conversation about how to advance this most important of professions?

SuperJet International, manufacturer of the new Sukhoi Superjet 100 regional airliner, announced here at the NBAA show that Comlux The Aviation Group will be the launch customer for an executive variant of the aircraft. The agreement covers two Sukhoi Business Jets (SBJs) and options for two more. Each aircraft costs $50 million (including interior completion), so the deal is worth $200 million.
"Comlux is a very impressive company," SuperJet CEO Carlo Logli told AIN. He added that the deal "was a logical step to increase our product portfolio and increase our sales forecast."
Comlux president Richard Gaona said his company expects to begin operating the airplanes by 2015 and is buying them "to prepare ourselves for the future." He added that Comlux may well "extend the deal for another six or up to 10" additional aircraft. The company already has 19 business aircraft and has eight more on order or in the completion phase.
SuperJet International expects to sell an additional 80 to 100 SBJs over the next 20 years, according to Logli. The company anticipates much higher sales–about 1,000 aircraft over the same period–for its 100-seat, $32-million regional airliner, which first entered service last April. The company has already taken orders for 168 of these, including 30 each from Russia's Aeroflot, Bermuda-based Pearl Aircraft and Indonesia's Kartika Airlines.
"Of course, we cannot survive with [just the SBJ's sales] volume but it's a profitable segment [of the market], which can increase our brand image," said Logli, who noted two key differences between the executive and regional versions of the aircraft. The executive jet, he said, has a 4,300-nm range–more than double that of the regional airliner version–thanks to its six additional fuel tanks. The other major difference is that the SBJ offers a spacious and "completely fresh" interior designed for VIP passengers. At 4,192 cu ft, it is "the largest [cabin] in its category," claimed Logli.
While Logli said that his company's business model offers a "similar layout" to Boeing's BBJ and Airbus's ACJ, he emphasized that SuperJet International doesn't intend for the SBJ to compete with such aircraft, which have significantly greater range and larger cabins. The executive version of the Superjet, he said, competes more directly with Embraer's Lineage 1000, which has a similar price tag, cabin size and range. "We're talking about 4,300 nautical miles," Logli said. "This is our segment. In our segment, we are definitely very well placed."
SuperJet International is a joint venture by Rome-based Alenis Aeronatica (51 percent) and Russia's Sukhoi Holding (49 percent).

Can you taste organic?
Is the organic wine glass half empty, or is it half full? To some extent, the answer depends on who's looking.
On the one hand, the folks at the Organic Trade Association recently reported, with apparent delight, that U.S. sales of certified organic wines and wines made with organic grapes reached $80 million last year, a 28 percent increase over the previous year and nearly double the sales of organic wines in 2003.
On the other hand, more cynical observers might point out that $80 million in sales barely shows up on the national radar, representing just over 1 percent of the $7 billion that thirsty U.S. consumers spent on wine overall last year.
Even at our local Whole Foods, a temple to all things organic and natural, "earth-friendly" wines fill only one relatively small section of shelving in the wine shop, the lion's share being taken by fine but conventionally produced wines.
Like organic foods, which accounted for about 2.5 percent of the nation's $550 billion in overall food sales in 2004, organic wine is a small but fast-growing industry segment, said to be increasing at the rate of 15 to 20 percent annually.
Under recent regulatory changes in the U.S., the European Union and other countries, most organic foods and beverages are more tightly controlled by regulation than they have been in the past, offering consumers somewhat more assurance that "organic" on the label actually means something.
Under new regulations, wines sold in the U.S. with "organic" on the label must meet the criteria for one of three specific categories:

100 percent organic Everything that goes into or touches the wine, from grapes to yeast to processing ingredients, must come from organic sources.

Organic: Wines bearing this label must be made from certified organic grapes at a winery that has earned organic certification. No sulfites may be added (although these wines will still contain some sulfites as a natural byproduct of fermentation). Non-organic ingredients including tartaric acid and commercial yeast may be used.

Made with organic grapes: These wines also must be made from certified organic grapes at a certified winery. Sulfites may be added in the form of sulfur dioxide, a natural preservative; however, total sulfites must remain below 100 parts per million. (For comparison, all wines containing more than 10 parts per million must bear a warning label. Wines made in the U.S. may contain as much as 350 parts per million, although this high level is rarely seen in practice.)

Does the organic difference show up in the taste of wine in your glass?
As a fairly avid (but far from exclusive) consumer of organic and natural foods and beverages, I've been following organic wines with some interest for years and tend to support the producers who make them because I admire their commitment to a natural approach to farming that avoids the use of industrial pesticides, herbicides and fungicides.
In my experience, many of the producers who choose this more difficult path tend to show the same commitment to quality as they do to treading lightly on the earth with their agricultural practices. But I think it's fair to point out that the fine-wine industry in general - in contrast with some larger agribusiness sectors - tends toward natural agriculture simply because industrial techniques aren't well suited for the production of great wines.
If you're an advocate of organic farming, it makes sense for you to support natural producers. But if the evidence is in the glass, I have yet to be convinced that you can detect an organic wine product by tasting the wine.
For today's tasting, let's review a fine red wine of Provence from Mas de Gourgonnier, a producer whose wines I've been following for years. Owned by brothers Luc and Fred Cartier, Mas de Gourgonnier makes all-organic wines from vineyards that never see chemical fertilizers, weed-killers or artificial insecticides. They make a red, white and rosé as well as somewhat more pricey "reserve" wines. But I keep coming back to the basic red for good value, year in and year out.
No, I can't necessarily taste "organic" in the bottle, but I love the wine, an earthy, rustic, sturdy but well-balanced blend of Grenache, Carignan and Syrah and - only for the U.S. export market - a splash of Cabernet Sauvignon.

Mas de Gourgonnier 2003 Les Baux de Provence ($12.99)
This is a very dark reddish-purple wine, almost black, shading to clear garnet at the edge. Fresh, ripe cherry-berry aromas, raspberries and black cherries, add an earthy, discreet and not unpleasant whiff of the barnyard that I find typical of Gourgonnier. Flavors are consistent with the nose, juicy and fresh. Full but nicely balanced for a 2003, rustic but not over-the-top, relatively modest alcohol at 12.5%. U.S. importer: Vintner Select, Mason, Ohio, and other regional importers. (Nov. 4, 2006)
FOOD MATCH: Matching earthy with earthy, it was a perfect companion with prosciutto-wrapped bites of dark chicken meat with a tiny dab of duck foie gras mousse; for something a little less outré, try it with fried chicken livers or braunschweiger. Or for that matter, any red meat or sharp cheese.
VALUE: No complaints at this price in the lower teens.
WHEN TO DRINK: Drinking beautifully now, but with its fine balance and good structure, I see no reason it couldn't be cellared for a few years under good storage conditions. Note also that this vintage has been kicking around for a year or so - I sampled the 2002 two years ago this month - so the 2004 should already be in distribution.
Mas de Gourgonnier = "Mahss duh Goor-gone-yay"
Les Baux de Provence = "Lay Bow duh Pro-vawnss"

Southeastern Director of Athletics Keith Baxter has announced the hiring of Ron Hair as the Savage Storm women's cross country coach on Tuesday afternoon.
"We are excited about the addition of coach Hair," said Baxter. "He brings a wealth of experience as well as a passion for the sport that should translate into success while competing."
"It's like going full circle and coming back home," said Hair. "Ever since Southeastern started women's cross country, I've had a desire for the job and it finally came through for me. I am really excited about it and looking forward to it."
Hair makes the transition from high school coaching to the collegiate level and moves to SE after serving as a coach and a teacher at Slidell ISD in Slidell, Texas, since 2007.
He has spent more than 35 years coaching at the high school level with track and cross country.
Over that span he has coached 11 state qualifiers at the high school level, as well as four regional championships at the individual level.
He has also had one regional championship team finish, while adding five team district championships and guiding his squads to five-straight high school division wins at the Cowtown Marathon.
Hair began his career at Dickson ISD in 1975 and has made eight stops since then before landing at Slidell.
Prior to Slidell he spent five seasons at Bowie HS in Bowie, Texas, which followed an 11 year stint at Springtown HS in Springtown, Texas.
He has been recognized throughout his career as a teacher, earning Bowie's Teacher of the Year honor in 2006, and he was named the State of Texas Teacher of the Year by the Council of Humanities in 1999.
Hair is a 1975 graduate of Southeastern Oklahoma State with a Bachelor of Science.

My first reaction was: "Good Lord! They've paved over the lawn and the gerberas". But, of course they had to, in order to provide parking for their guests, and different as the outside of the house looked, I was pleasantly surprised on entering it to discover that, apart from renovations to the interior, I could recognize the house itself. It could so easily have been demolished in order to build a hotel there, but instead the owners had built an extension on the existing house and kept the character of the original building. The extension was built around the property to connect with the original outbuildings and garage and excellent use has been made of them. The rooms are on two levels behind the house with a courtyard in the middle, and if indeed the flowers in front were gone, it was more than made up for with the masses of tropical plants in the courtyard.
Here is a view of the upper level of the guest rooms, built around the original house. I stayed in number 12.
The added building extends to the old outbuildings and the detached garage is now part of the entire structure.
The interior of the house has changed and yet I could still see traces of my old home. Here is a picture I took in 1960 of our dining room.
At the left rear one can see the door to the pantry, and at the rear the entrance to the latticed in back verandah. (I remember a picture that used to hang on the wall to the right of the window looking out on the back verandah. It was a black and white print of Millais's "Princes in the Tower".). The dining room is now the lobby of the hotel and looks like this.As you can see, the entrance to the pantry has been blocked off; the back verandah now forms part of the lobby and office and is no longer latticed in, and the windows have been changed. The floors are still the gleaming mahogany that they were when I was growing up here and it was kept that way with a coconut brush and great amounts of elbow grease.
What were my thoughts on seeing my old home again? I was pleased that it had not been changed out of all recognition, and that in fact the renovations made were appropriate to the character of the house itself. It was, of course, no longer home, but it was welcoming and familiar, and strangely enough, seemed quite a bit smaller to me than it had been when I was growing up there.
One last thing ... occasionally I dream of home and family now gone, and when I do it is 5 Holborn Road that I see in my dreams.

Republican vice presidential candidate Mike Pence said that undocumented immigrants in the United States would be treated "humanely" in a Donald Trump administration, but gave no details on how the GOP nominee would deal with the millions currently living and working peacefully in the country, NBC News reported.
"We're going to enforce the laws of this country. We're going to make sure that we essentially end illegal immigration once and for all," Pence said in an interview on NBC's "Meet The Press."
But the Indiana governor would not say if Trump would deport the more than 10 million people currently in the country illegally — a pledge Trump made during the Republican presidential primary.
Pence also pledged that both he and Trump would soon release their tax returns, though he could not guarantee the Trump's documents would become public before Election Day.

We know all you ladies love hitting the beach or the pool in your luxury designer swimwear to get some sun and we do too! I am sure you have heard it a million times, but don't forget the sunscreen. Besides the obvious risk of skin cancer from too much exposure to the sun, there are other negative effects that the sun can have on your skin. Of course it is all avoidable if you just make sure to lather on some sunscreen and voila!, your skin will remain beautiful and healthy!
You may only think to bring that sunscreen along on a scorching day when the sun is beating down, but even when the temperature drops a little and the cloud cover arrives, the sun can still do a number on your unprotected skin. Our best advice when applying your sunscreen is to apply just a little more to those spots like your face, chest and back that will get the most sun exposure. One of the best reasons to make sure that sunscreen is always in your bag is to prevent premature aging. That's right, too much sun exposure without the use of sunscreen will bring on those wrinkles much earlier than expected. If you want to look like the gorgeous Jennifer Aniston in your forties, then taking care of your skin in the sun should be a top priority. Jennifer never seems to age and that is mostly due to her beautiful skin.
The best thing you can do when hitting the beach or the pool is to be prepared with sunscreen, water, and one of your sexy bandeau bikinis! The bandeau is the best way to avoid those pesky tan lines when laying out and the Gold Digger Bandeau Bikini will have you looking hot while working on your tan. Of course if you are going to be wandering around a pool party and just want to look sexy and stand out, then the Gold Digger Monokini is your best bet. This sexy black monokini is anything but boring and is sure to get some attention!
