Where to Smoke: Super Bowl Edition
the New York Giants and New England Patriots meet on Sunday for their
second Super Bowl battle in four years, cigar enthusiasts across the
country will be watching together, eating, drinking and, of course,
And while many cigar-heads will puff and party within the confines of the living room, plenty of men and women will also be venturing to their local cigar bar for Super Bowl blow outs that include big-screen televisions, cigar specials, cigar accessory raffles, food, drinks and most importantly, camaraderie.
We checked in with some of the cigar bars in and around New York and Boston to see what they had planned as their local teams duke it out in Super Bowl XLVI.
New York
Cigar Inn (Two locations)
1016 2nd Ave between East 53rd & 54th Streets
and 1314 1st Ave. between East 70th & 71st Streets, Manhattan
Phone: 877-724-4277
The Fakih brothers of Cigar Inn are hosting parties at both of their Manhattan stores, including the location on 2nd Avenue that houses the world's only Cigar Aficionado smoking lounge and humidor. The parties are set to start at 6 p.m. and cost $20 to get in. This gets you food, drinks and two fine cigars: a 6 inch long by 54 ring gauge limited-edition La Aurora Toro maduro and a Guillermo León Corona Gorda.
Five screens situated around the store coupled with a surround sound system means you won't miss any of the sights and sounds of Sunday's game. Add in American food, served buffet-style, libations such as wine and beer (plus you can B.Y.O.B.) and an excellent selection of smokes, and you have yourself a great deal.
Club Macanudo
26 East 63rd Street, Manhattan
Phone: 212-752-8200
Cigar Co.'s upscale cigar bar will be hosting its version of a Super
Bowl party complete with cigar specials, raffles, an open bar and fine
Mauricio Cordoba, general manager of the club, says the Club Mac the party begins at 6. Inside will be two big-screen plasma televisions and a buffet stocked with American cuisine. The open bar will be well-stocked with premium spirits and wine, and each guest will receive three sticks when they arrive: a Macanudo Crü Royale, a C.A.O. OSA Sol and a Dominican Cohiba.
The price of admission may seem a bit steep ($135 a head), but Cordoba plans to raffle off cigar accessories such as lighters, cigars and portable humidors (in addition to fedoras), which means the ticket could very well end up paying for itself in the end. And remember these two words: open bar.
Fair warning: Club Macanudo requires gentlemen to wear collared shirts. In other words, you'll have to check in your lucky Giants t-shirt at the door.
Tobacco Plaza
218 Lakeville Road, Great Neck, Long Island
While Long Islanders typically associate themselves with the New York Jets, rest assured Tobacco Plaza is a Giants cigar bar through and through. Owned by Danny Ditkowich, this Great Neck smoke shop offers three lounge areas with comfy chairs and five televisions for viewing the game.
The all-day party is free and will feature catered barbecue chicken wings, lamb and adult beverages. The shop will also offer a cigar special of some kind, which could go a long way considering the large, inviting humidor is stocked with some great sticks.
Cigar Masters (Two locations)
745 Boylston Street, Boston
Phone: 617-266-4400
and One West Exchange Street, Providence
Phone: 401-383-9002
Located in the fashionable and trendy Back Bay neighborhood, Cigar Masters' Super Bowl shindig starts at 5 p.m. While the general public will be able to enjoy the game in the front of the lounge, a $50 ticket will grant you access to a private seating area in the back.
Both areas offer plush seating and large televisions where the game will be played as well as food, but ticket holders will get a few perks for ponying up the extra dough.
in the price will be six drink tickets that are good for beers on draft
(Sam Adams Lager, Bass, Ommegang Belgium Style Pale Ale, Urquell
Pilsner, and Guinness.) These six tickets will also be used for
post-game raffles, including a Rocky Patel lighter with a five-cigar
gift pack, Savoy Humidor with humidification accessories and a box of El
Tiante Cigars Signed by Red Sox legend Luis Tiante.
Ticket holders also will get three cigars: two Rocky Patel Edges and a house-blend smoke.
There will also be an on-site cigar roller selling fresh cigars, and the chance to purchase a cigar-rolling lesson.
The Providence location, just steps away from the city's train station, will also be participating in the Super Bowl fun.
All weekend the shop will be running a cigar special on the Rocky Patel Edge and will offer a fully stocked bar with beer and premium spirits, including the ultra-rare Louis XIII Cognac.
Shop manager Jessica Levine says a lot of private parties have been booked and that there is also space for the public to gather and watch the game.
The bar isn't catering the event, but Levine said Fleming's Steak House is located right next door and ordering food into the shop is highly encouraged (i.e., it's a great steak.)
Castro's Back Room (three locations)
119 Main Street, Nashua
Phone: 603-881-7703
972 Elm Street, Manchester
Phone: 603-606-7854
5 Depot Street, Concord
Tucked into the White Mountain state are a trio of cigar shops hosting Super Bowl parties called Castro's Back Room. Owned by Eric Kilbane (a dedicated Boston sports fan with a wicked accent to prove it), the stores are located in Concord, Nashua and Manchester.
Each of the three locations offers a great selection of smokes as well as large-screen televisions that will be tuned into the game. The Concord location also has a pool table and a poker table in case you are the leisure sport type.
The shops' regulars plan to supply the food pot-luck style, so if you plan to attend expect some hearty New England cuisine.
"It's going to be a big chowdown like last year," said Kilbane.
Kilbane said people will probably begin gathering around noon at each of the stores.
Check in tomorrow to read about the best cigar-smoking events happening this weekend in Indianapolis.

Ahead of his firm's fourth-quarter earnings release on Oct. 24, Raymond James Financial (RJF) Chief Operating Officer Dennis Zank said Thursday that the firm's year-end results should be "pretty good," and he reiterated that the numbers should serve as an indicator of its traditionally conservative business model.
Zank (left) positioned Raymond James as the antidote to out-of-control Wall Street growth for growth's sake before an audience of several hundred at the 2012 Raymond James Women's Symposium in St. Pete Beach, Fla.
"We're down here in little old St. Pete, the financial hub of the universe. We're not smart like those big guys on Wall Street," Zank quipped – before listing the reasons why Raymond James has outlasted much bigger firms. "If you don't want to work for a wirehouse today, Raymond James has to be on your list."
The reasons for his stance, Zank said, include the company's focus on sustainable and organic growth. While many financial services firms went out of business after the 2008 crash, Zank noted, Raymond James earned $1.29 per share in 2009. As for 2012, he characterized the as-yet-to-be-released fiscal year-end results as "pretty darned good," while acknowledging that the last five years of volatility have been tough on the financial industry.
Zank expressed frustration with stock analysts covering RJF who "get upset if we don't generate $50 million in pre-tax profits in a single month."
Noting that Thursday was his 34th anniversary of working at Raymond James, he put those high expectations into perspective by recalling that the company's revenues totaled only $15 million in 1978. (Raymond James was founded in 1962 and went public in 1983.) Morningstar's performance report on RJF shows that the firm's market cap has grown to $5.06 billion year to date from $2.06 billion in 2008.
The integration of Morgan Keegan, which Raymond James acquired earlier this year, represents what would normally take RJF 10 years to achieve through recruiting, Zank said.
RJF's earnings dropped in the fiscal second quarter of 2012 due to the acquisition of Morgan Keegan. However, Raymond James Financial has more cash on hand than it did before it bought Morgan Keegan, Zank said, asserting that its conservative balance sheet reflects the firm's organic growth.
"We do not grow this firm through acquisitions," he said. "If we have a really great year, we hire 150 advisors from competitor firms," for example, in the employee channel, Raymond James & Associates.
Zank said Raymond James intends to maintain a pace that keeps the company's culture in line with its mission, which is to put clients first, whether those clients are end clients or advisors themselves.
"At the end of the day, it's not about how big Raymond James is going to be," he said. "We are not a firm of chest thumpers, out there beating the drum about how if we can't get to 15,000 advisors we're not going to be happy. We want to grow at a pace where people still find it attractive to stay with us."
As long as Raymond James continues to turn in a solid performance, he said, "there's no pressure on us to hear the siren song of being part of a big organization."
Pointing to top executives including Raymond James Financial Chief Executive Paul Reilly and President Scott Curtis along with Global Private Client Group CEO Chet Helck, Zank said: "Do you think any of us want to work for one of these big firms? Not a chance."
Raymond James has more than 6,000 advisors in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom.

Intel and AMD continued their tit-for-tat exchange of market share during Q3, with the chip giant making a small gain at the expense of its arch-rival.
According to market watcher iSuppli, Intel took 80.4 per cent of world "general-purpose" processor sales, up a third of a percentage point on the previous quarter and 1.7 points up on Q3 2007.
AMD's share of the revenue dropped from 13.9 per cent in the year-ago quarter to 12.1 per cent in Q3 2008. It experienced a tenth-of-a-percentage-point gain sequentially, though.
Other processor players - x86 chip makers, Risc purveyors and so on - together accounted for 7.5 per cent of sales, down from 7.9 per cent in the previous quarter.
Intel's growth arose from its strong notebook product portfolio - Centrino 2 was launched during Q3 - but increase amounting to a mere fraction of one percentage point is nothing for it to shout about.

It's funny, we got so used to seeing DS games for so long that it started to feel like all Nintendo handheld games for all time would look like N64 games. That's certainly not the case.
This off-screen footage, taken over the weekend at the Nintendo World event in Tokyo, shows three of the 3DS' biggest games in action. Mario Kart is looking like the portable Double Dash many were hoping for (at least in terms of visuals), Star Fox looks fine and Paper Mario looks amazing.
Sadly, none of these will be making the 3DS' Japanese launch in February. Patience is a virtue, Nintendo fans.

2013 Citroen C5 review
* New Citroen C5 driven in UK * Available as saloon and estate * Saloon priced from 19,895; Tourer from 20,995...
The Citroen C5 has been updated for 2013. The Ford Mondeo rival gets subtly refreshed styling, more kit and a new 2.2-litre diesel engine.
The big update for the C5 is a new Techno Pack. When added to base VTR models, this 700 option brings sat-nav, alloys, Bluetooth, a USB connection, rear parking sensors and front foglights.
When bought in combination with VTR+ trim where Bluetooth and USB are standard anyway you get all of the above plus larger alloys.
Range-topping 2.2 HDi Exclusive models get the Techno Pack as standard, along with bigger wheels and front parking sensors.
What's the 2013 Citroen C5 like to drive?
The new 2.2-litre diesel engine is available only with a six-speed automatic 'box and comes with hydropneumatic suspension as standard (lower-spec cars have steel springs and manual transmission).
As gearboxes go, this one isn't particularly high-tech or quick-shifting, but it does suit the C5's laid-back character and it changes gears smoothly, making the most of the flexible and punchy new diesel engine.
We'd recommend ignoring the 'Sport' button it serves only to hold on to gears longer than is necessary and reveals the harsh higher rev ranges of this otherwise smooth and quiet engine.
Ride quality is a mixed bag, especially on Exclusive versions with 18-inch alloys. At low speeds, the suspension thumps harshly over potholes and speed humps, and the ride is jittery over patchy surfaces.
Things settle down at higher speeds, though, where the C5 wafts along serenely in exactly the way you'd expect a big Citroen to. Unfortunately, the loose body control can make you feel queasy rather than comfortable on twisty or undulating roads.
The 'Sport' setting makes the ride even more jarring at low speeds and doesn't improve body control much at all, which is another reason for leaving it switched off.
Responsive-but-numb steering finishes off this range-topping C5's hit-and-miss driving characteristics.
What's the 2013 Citroen C5 like inside?
The driving position is good, the cabin is light and spacious, and there are some interesting details that help to alleviate the bland atmosphere that often characterises family cars. These fail to disguise some cheap-feeling materials around the cabin, however.
You still get a button-heavy centre console and (where fitted) a sat-nav system that's hopelessly tricky to use, despite upgrades to the software. The display for the sat-nav is at least bright and clear.
The saloon version of the C5 isn't as versatile as some hatchback rivals. However, its unusual concave rear screen gives you a good-sized boot opening, and the rear seats fold down flat for added practicality.
The Tourer (estate) has a big boot, but it's not as big as the class leaders', and it could be more practical; the rear screen is quite steeply raked, so it eats into the loadspace, and you have to pop up the rear seat bases before the backrests will lie flat.
The new 2.2 diesel engine is available only with range-topping Exclusive trim, which means you get loads of equipment, including electric, part-leather seats, laminated side windows and cruise control along with all the Techno Pack goodies we've already mentioned.
However, even with base VTR trim (available with other engines) you still get a reasonable amount of kit, including air-conditioning, front and rear electric windows, laminated side windows and rear parking sensors.
Should I buy one?
The C5 is a likeable thing, and the new range-topping diesel version plays to all of the car's strengths. As a company car it makes little sense because of its relatively high CO2 emissions, but as a private buy this is a refined car that's packed with technology.
It's not cheap and won't hold its value well, but big discounts are available if you're prepared to haggle.
All things considered, the smaller diesel engines make more sense, but even then there are better all-rounders to choose from, such as the Ford Mondeo, VW Passat and Skoda Superb.

The network aims to enable practitioners and agencies who support the wellbeing of military personnel and veterans in Lincolnshire, to come together to share knowledge, exchange information, explore opportunities and where appropriate to work collaboratively. Contact details can be found in the attached document

Ordering of Repeat Prescriptions
We are having to make some significant changes to the way repeat prescriptions are ordered. These changes are for safety reasons. Please click here to further details
It is that time of year again when we look to provide the seasonal flu vaccination to all eligible patients. We aim to provide the maximum service available over 3 weekends in September and October and these clinics are now open for patients to make there appointments. Please contact reception to make your appointment
Patients aged 65 and over and those in clinical 'at risk' groups are eligible including children in the 'at risk' groups. Please see the following leaflet for further guidance.
Attending Appointments
Appointment availability is something we monitor regularly and is always an area of interest to patients and we would like to thank all of our patients who turn up for their appointments on time. To help patients remember appointments, we offer an sms reminder service - please ask at reception for details
We have previously agreed with the patient participation group that minimising the number of appointments lost through patients who 'did not attend' (DNA) prebooked appointments is a priority. 'DNA' appointments are expensive and effectively lost instead of being offered to someone else with a more urgent problem. By letting us know in good time that appointments are no longer required helps us to: offer these to someone else; improve access to the GPs and nurses, and helps to reduce appointment waiting time.
Please be courteous to our staff and to your fellow patients and let us know in advance if you no longer need your prebooked appointment. Please help us to help ALL of our patients. Thank you
Appointments outside of normal working hours
Particularly helpful to working patients, your GPs provide a limited number of appointments outside of normal opening hours. However, we prefer not to disappoint so it's important to stress that this time is for pre-booked appointments only. We are not open for normal service at these times. Although available to all, we would respectfully encourage our non-working patients to avoid these times where possible. Our extended surgery hours are held on Saturday mornings.
Neil Hewson
Practice Manager
The doctors and staff at Boultham Park Medical Practice are proud to offer the highest standard of patient-centred healthcare; this was recognised back in 2011 when the surgery was awarded the Quality Practice Award by the Royal College of Practitioners. The quality of the service we provide was further confirmed following an Inspection by the Care Quality Commission in May 2016 when we were graded good overall and in each individual area of the inspection.
We provide a wide range of primary care service, typical of what you should expect from all GP surgeries, and run many clinics for the management of chronic diseases such as asthma and diabetes. We have other local services such as the midwife working out of the surgery and we work closely with our health colleagues across the city.
We are part of the Optimus Group of GP practices. These are other GP surgeries in our locality with whom we work closely across a number of areas; in particular in offering improved access for appointments outside of our normal core hours.
We are also a Training Practice. This involves training the doctors and nurses who have chosen to specialise in primary care and who we all will need to look after us in the future!
We hope that you find our website easy to use and that it contains a wealth of easily understood information.

Sep-23-2009 DCA, HMFA Announce Winners of 2009 Excellence in Housing Awards
DCA, HMFA Announce Winners of 2009 Excellence in Housing Awards
ATLANTIC CITY - The New Jersey Department of Community Affairs (DCA) and New Jersey Housing and Mortgage Finance Agency (HMFA) today honored eight organizations and two individuals with the Excellence in Housing Awards in recognition of their outstanding work in housing development. The award ceremony took place at the 2009 Governor's Conference on Housing and Community Development at the Atlantic City Convention Center.
"Governor Corzine joins me in congratulating the winners of this year's Excellence in Housing Awards and commending them for their innovation in the field of affordable housing," said DCA Acting Commissioner Charles A. Richman. "New Jersey is making progress in providing homes and apartments that people can afford, in large part, because of the efforts of these award recipients and others like them."
Every year, the Excellence in Housing Awards recognize individuals and organizations who meet state needs and current housing goals. This year's award recipients were honored for outstanding housing development in the areas of affordable housing, green/sustainable development and urban in-fill.
Five award categories were selected that best reflect New Jersey's current housing needs:
Outstanding Green/Sustainable Development - "Green" affordable housing project that demonstrates sustainable design with innovative material.
Providing Opportunities through Supportive Housing - A housing project that promotes opportunities for tenants with special needs.
Outstanding Affordable Housing Development - A housing development that uses innovative concepts and design to meet the needs of the targeted population.
Outstanding Urban In-fill Project - New urban construction sites that maximize the use of limited interior and exterior space while maintaining the integrity of surrounding buildings.
Outstanding Personal Achievement - Congratulates an individual committed to improving the lives of families and the well being of communities through affordable housing.
The project awardees included Kent Avenue Apartments (Pennsville); Brimmer House (Trenton); Abbett Avenue Apartments (Morristown); Heritage Village at Lawrence (Lawrence); Sharp Road Family Housing (Evesham); Harriet Tubman Homes (Jersey City); Father Michael J. Doyle, founder of the non-profit organization "Heart of Camden," and Robert A. DiVincent, CEO of West New York Housing Corporation.
The award for Outstanding Green/Sustainable Development was presented to Ron Rukenstein and Associates for Kent Avenue Apartments. Located in Pennsville, Salem County, the 101-unit development underwent a green reconstruction. The roof was equipped with a 100-kilowatt solar rooftop system expected to meet 70 percent of the development's common area electricity demand.
The Providing Opportunities through Supportive Housing Award was presented to Rescue Mission of Trenton for Brimmer House. Opened in March of 2009, Brimmer House welcomed five single, low-income, homeless men. Rescue Mission of Trenton gave the men an opportunity to rebuild their lives despite their history of substance abuse.
There were three awards for Outstanding Affordable Housing Development. The first award was presented to Homeless Solutions, Inc (HSI) for Abbett Avenue Apartments in Morristown. HSI took an unsightly, non-conforming mixed use building and created a 12-unit development that enhances the neighborhood.
The second award for Outstanding Affordable Housing Development was presented to Community Investment Strategies Inc. for Heritage Village at Lawrence. Located off Route 1, Heritage Village provides affordable senior and special needs units. Once a site for serious environmental issues, Heritage Village now helps the environment by using the HMFA Sunlit Program, incorporating solar panels to increase energy efficiency.
The final award for Outstanding Affordable Housing Development was presented to a partnership of public and private collaborators that included Moorestown Ecumenical Neighborhood Development, Inc. and Conifer Realty, Inc., which came together to create Sharp Road Family Housing. Located in Evesham Township, the 104-unit provides affordable housing to families in Burlington County.
The award for Outstanding Urban Infill Project went to Jersey City Redevelopment Agency and Franklin Development Group for Harriet Tubman Homes. Located in Jersey City, this development is the first venture into workforce housing for teachers, fire fighters, and municipal employees. Harriet Tubman Homes bring a new and different architectural style contributing to the City's economic revitalization.
The Outstanding Personal Achievement Award was presented to both Michael J. Doyle and Robert A. DiVincent. Monsignor Doyle founded the non-profit organization known as "Heart of Camden," which he has led for 25 years. Today, Heart of Camden is one of the most effective community development organizations in the state.
Robert A. DiVincent is CEO of the West New York Housing Corporation. Since its creation in 2000, Mr. DiVincent has initiated four new affordable housing developments resulting in nearly 250 units for the area's low income families, seniors and disabled citizens.
The annual Governor's Conference on Housing and Community Development is sponsored by the Department of Community Affairs and the New Jersey Housing and Mortgage Finance Agency, a DCA affiliate.

Healthy & Delicious: Carrot and Sweet Potato Mash Recipe
Healthy and delicious recipes from Serious Eats
Editor's note: On Mondays, Kristen Swensson Sturt of Cheap, Healthy, Good swings by these parts to share healthy and delicious recipes with us. Take it away, Kristen!
This? Is nothing special to look at. It is, in two words, very orange.
But, for those of you A) looking for a healthier alternative to mashed potatoes, B) feeding picky children and/or adults, or C), who like orange, this is the motherlode.
Adapted from a popular side dish from All Recipes, Carrot and Sweet Potato Mash is a powerhouse of solid nutrition and appealing flavor. For one thing, you will never find a recipe with more Vitamin A, though the allotments of fiber and Vitamin C aren't too shabby, either. For another thing, well, it's just really, really good.
Despite a slight textural difference, the carrots and sweet potatoes mesh (or is it mash?) unexpectedly well. The addition of unsweetened applesauce and brown sugar make the dish moist and ever-so-slightly sweet, while the raisins, quite literally, give you something to chew on.
Oh, and while adults will appreciate this recipe, kids will go absolutely nutso bonkers insane for this. Try it on your family today, especially if they're into the color orange.
- Yield:4 to 6
- Active time: 10 to 15 minutes
- Total time:35 to 45 minutes
- 16 ounces carrots (about 4 medium)peeled and cut into 1/2-inch rounds
- 12 ounces sweet potato (about 2 medium), peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- Kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1/3 cup unpacked light brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice or allspice
- 1/2 cup raisins
Place carrots in medium pot and just cover with salted water. Over high heat, bring to a boil. Add sweet potatoes. Once boiling again, reduce heat to a rolling simmer and cook until carrots and sweet potatoes are tender, 20 to 30 minutes. Drain.
When carrots and sweet potatoes have 3 minutes left to cook, melt butter in a small pan over medium heat. Add brown sugar and applesauce and quickly stir to combine. Once brown sugar is dissolved, about 30 to 60 seconds, pour butter mixture into serving bowl.
Add drained carrots and sweet potatoes to butter mixture. Add spice and salt to taste. Mash with potato masher to preferred consistency. Stir in raisins. Let sit 2 minutes until raising plump. Serve.

Looks like a new-fangled contraption, right? Truth is, the cookie press has been around for almost fifty years. Want to turn out buttery spritz cookies? How about homemade Milanos? Then you're going to want to invest in one of these, and you will never have to reach for store-bought versions again.
The science behind the cookie press is pretty simple: fill the tube with cookie dough, and fit one of the metal disks at the bottom. Then, press the bottom of the tube right on to the cookie sheet, and press. When the dough comes out, it forms shapes corresponding to the disks. Flowers, hearts, squiggles, snowflakes – the designs that are available will vary depending on the brand you buy.
You can't use just any cookie dough recipe here, since the dough has to be the right consistency to fit through the disks. I provide my recipe below, and most cookie presses come with a recipe in the box. For the press to work, your dough cannot be refrigerated. If you do need to make your dough in advance, make sure it comes to room temperature before filling the tube.
So what can you use your new contraption to make? How about a homemade version of those classic swiss fudge cookies from Stella D'Oro? Make the flower shape and then fill the centers with a little chocolate ganache.
What about your own version of Milanos? Two oval shaped cookies, sandwiched together with a little melted chocolate – voila! The opportunities for your new gadget are endless, and any of the varieties would be great to slip in to your Mishloach Manot for Purim. You can top your designs with sprinkles, colored sanding sugars or even pieces of fruit. You'll get 10 phone calls asking how you made that cool design!
Buy here: Norpro Cookie Press
Recipe: Makes about 40 cookies
1 cup (2 sticks) butter or margarine, softened
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 tablespoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 cups flour
Beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
Add in the egg, vanilla and salt and beat until combined.
Stir in the flour.
Fill the cookie press with the dough and fit the disk on.
Press the cookies out onto ungreased baking sheets, 1 inch apart.
Bake on 375 F for about 10 minutes, until just lightly golden.
Transfer to wire racks until cool.
Decorate as desired!

Montville man sentenced for social security theft
NEW HAVEN (AP) -- A federal judge in New Haven has ordered a Montville man to pay more than $42,100 in restitution and serve three years of probation for stealing the identity of someone else to secure social security benefits.
Prosecutors say the 58-year-old man was born Russell Fithian. He obtained the social security card and birth certificate of John Francis William sometime before 1993 and began using the name that year.
The man applied for social security retirement income in August 2009 under the name of John Francis William, who would have turned 62 that year and had reached eligible retirement age. The defendant was 54 at the time and not eligible for retirement.
He legally changed his name to John Francis William last year.
He pleaded guilty to stealing government property last October.

Seat recline fight diverts another flight
By Katia Hetter, CNN • Updated 3rd September 2014
View Gallery
21 Pictures
Another day, another fight about reclining seats on a U.S. airline flight.
In the third serious airline legroom incident in two weeks, an angry passenger caused yet another flight to divert Monday night.
Delta Air Lines Flight 2370 from New York's LaGuardia Airport to West Palm Beach, Florida, was rerouted to Jacksonville, Florida. A passenger became irate about the traveler in front of her trying to recline her seat, a fellow passenger told
CNN affiliate WPTV
"This woman who was sitting next to me knitting actually just tried reclining her seat back," passenger Aaron Klipin said. "The woman behind her started screaming and swearing and then a flight attendant came over and that just exacerbated what was going on and then she demanded that the flight land."
Delta confirmed the diversion.
"Delta flight 2370 from New York-LaGuardia to West Palm Beach was re-routed to Jacksonville International Airport due to a passenger disruption," Delta said in a statement. "Out of an abundance of caution, the Captain elected to divert to the closest airport."
Local law enforcement removed the passenger and the flight continued to West Palm Beach, Delta said.
It's been a tense couple of weeks for passengers on both sides of the right-to-recline debate.
CNN's Christine Romans details two U.S. domestic flights that had emergency landings, causing passengers to panic.
Another reportedly irate passenger caused a flight from Miami to Paris to divert to Boston on August 27 after someone allegedly tried to recline in front of him.
Paris resident Edmund Alexandre, 60, was charged in U.S. federal court August 28 with interfering with an airline flight crew. Interfering with flight crew members is a violation of federal law and carries a sentence of up to 20 years in prison. (The passenger's name has also been spelled "Edmond" Alexandre in court documents.)
A United Airlines flight from Newark, New Jersey, to Denver was diverted on August 24
after two passengers argued over one passenger's use of a "Knee Defender," a device that blocks reclining.
Should the Knee Defender be banned?
Water was thrown and the passengers, both 48, were removed from the flight in Chicago, according to a federal law enforcement source, speaking on background. The passengers were not arrested.
It seems at least one of the passengers was not completely satisfied with the extra space in the Economy Plus section where they were seated, which provides United passengers up to 5 inches of extra legroom compared with standard coach seats.
Aviation blogger Benet Wilson
is surprised there haven't been more incidents in the air as travelers face long security checkpoint lines at more crowded airports as well as less space and fewer amenities on planes.
"As airlines try and squeeze as many seats into economy as possible, that decreases seat pitch which can be uncomfortable for someone like me, who is 5'3"," wrote Wilson via e-mail.
"But imagine being a foot taller squeezed into that same space. It doesn't help that the (Federal Aviation Administration) doesn't have an official rule on using (seat-blocking devices), instead deferring to passengers and airlines. So I feel the situation will get worse before it gets better."
The core problem is definitely the airlines packing too many seats too close together into a tight space, said veteran flight attendant Heather Poole, author of "Cruising Attitude: Tales of Crashpads, Crew Drama, and Crazy Passengers at 35,000 Feet."
"That said, this doesn't give anyone the right to act childish," Poole wrote via e-mail. "To react in such a way that the crew feels the need to divert a flight to have a passenger removed is a really big deal."
What do you think of this recent spate of airline seat recline incidents? Please share in the comments section below.

Hundreds of imperiled species around the world — from a tiny opossum to a radiant blue bird — lack protection from human encroachment despite the vast amount of land set aside for conservation, according to a study published in the journal Nature this week.
Researchers said the findings are a wake-up call pointing to the need for new strategies to ensure that protected lands and the ranges of threatened species overlap.
At present, the largest protected areas are in desert or cold climates where the biodiversity is far lower than in tropical areas teeming with life, said Stuart Pimm, a professor of ecology at Duke University.
"The protected areas tend to be in the wrong places. We have huge national parks in Alaska, but few protected areas in biologically rich places like Florida or Hawaii," said Pimm, who was not involved in the research.
Species and parks
In the study, researchers from nine nations compared maps of more than 100,000 protected areas around the globe to maps of the ranges of 11,633 animal species — mostly tropical and many threatened or endangered.
They found that for about 12 percent of the species, their ranges did not include parks or nature preserves that would protect them from human activities such as logging, hunting or mining operations.
And among 3,896 species deemed threatened, no protection was found for 20 percent: 149 threatened mammal species, 411 types of amphibians, 232 bird species and 12 turtle and tortoise species. About 300 of those animals are on the verge of extinction.
They include a tiny Colombian marsupial called Handley's slender mouse opossum and Indonesia's Cerulean Paradise-flycatcher, a bright blue bird with 100 or so survivors confined to a single forest-topped extinct volcano. Other critically endangered species are the Comoro black flying fox, a fruit bat found only on the Indian Ocean's Comoros islands, and Myanmar's Burmese star tortoise.
Smaller studies have shown "gaps" between protected areas and threatened species, but the new work offers the first global view of that situation by evaluating the predicament of some of the best documented animal species, said Ana Rodrigues, a research fellow at Conservation International in Washington, D.C.
"Even for these species that we know well, we're finding these levels of unprotection, of gaps. It's alarming," said Rodrigues, who was the study's lead author.
Goal met on paper
The 1992 World Parks Congress set a target that 10 percent of Earth's land habitat be protected by 2000. The goal was actually met, the figure is now 11.5 percent, but conservationists believe the analysis provided evidence that more protected areas are needed in areas with the most biodiversity.
"Protecting more than 10 percent of the planet's land surface is a major conservation achievement," said Gustavo Fonseca, Conservation International's executive vice president. "But this study proves that no matter how appealing arbitrary percentage targets might be from a political standpoint, we should focus on those places with the greatest concentrations of threatened and endemic species."
Rodrigues noted that many developing nations simply lack the resources to protect their national parks. Conflicts over conservation are common, she said, because areas highly attractive to humans such as fertile lowlands and forests are also the richest in species.
Craig Hilton-Taylor, a Cambridge, England-based conservation biologist with the World Conservation Union, called the research "scary" because it did not even look at thousands of little-known species such as small mammals, freshwater fish, plants and invertebrates that have very tiny ranges.
"We have a long way to go before we can say, 'Yes, we are truly conserving the world's biodiversity,"' he said.

Cheap parts
I think the reason we are seeing this is that it is getting easier to get radio modules that have both CDMA and GSM. If the part is the same size as older versions and cheap enough, why not have a iPad/iPhone that can do it all.
Apple is rumored to be readying a next-generation "World iPad" that works on both GSM and CDMA networks, presumably in the hope of blanketing the world with a new version of its magical and revolutionary device. "Apple is going to be ratcheting down production of the existing 3G iPad over the next two months in anticipation of …
It says much about Jobs and Apple that they have, technically, abandoned the Lemon 4 obviously not intending to do anything about the outstanding problems.
CDMA, whilst a good technology at it's inception, is dieing. Many S.E. Asian cell systems are junking their CDMA systems and replacing it with GSM.
China is a marketing challenge: Apple products are really too expensive for the mass of the population and only a few places like BeiJing or ShangHai have citizens with sufficient disposable income.
In most of the country, where the farmers hang out, they have different priorities like running water in the houses, sewage systems. In many places they still live in houses made from grass sod - hardly places you would find a market for a smartphone.
Here we go again: "It says much about Jobs and Apple that they have, technically, abandoned the Lemon 4 obviously not intending to do anything about the outstanding problems."
A potential signal problem if held in a certain way? Which is fixed if device is put in case/cover/held a different way.
Argh!!! The world is ending!!! Noooo!!! Argh!!!!
Grow up you turd-brain.
CDMA might be dead end but it works really good, better in my experience than any version of GSM including HSDPA.
I live on a boat and we have used cellular connections for the Internet since 1996, in Mexico when we used the earliest AMPS systems and a Motorola brick there. It worked,
I have recently, in the last three years, used GSM and CDMA 3G systems with a variety of USB modems to connect to the internet with my laptop in at least 6 countries. I get much faster and consistent download speed with my CDMA devices than with any of my GSM devices. With CDMA evdo rev A I can usually watch TV episodes without video buffering. With HSDPA this is very rare.
The biggest difference for me however is the much longer range of the CDMA signals. I can get CDMA connections miles further from towers than with any GSM. In my situation speed and range are critical.
So I will be very sad to see CDMA die out.
"perhaps i'm wrong - but HSDPA is a type of CDMA? (W-CDMA at least)"
Yep. And to paraphrase the article, I hasten to add that HSDPA is *also* a dead-end 3G tech, they are also going to LTE as an upgrade path. LTE is not really related to either CDMA/EVDO or GSMUMTS/HSDPA technologies, so in reality they are both ultimately a dead end.
wingssail hits it on the head though as to why AT&T would bother with a CDMA+GSM device, along with paulej72. I don't think it's actually cheaper or easier to get a CDMA+GSM chip compared to one that supports only one or the other. But it's not hard either, and I think it's essentially drop-in compatible between Qualcomm's CDMA-only, GSM-only, and CDMA+GSM MSM (Mobile System Modem) chips.
And expanding on what wingssail says, the CDMA networks here in the US absolutely kill the GSM networks both in network quality and coverage area. There's two big factors why. First, Qualcomm designed CDMA to minimize costs -- they rolled it out with as high of capacity as they could, and have more than doubled the capacity since then through incremental improvements. They also designed it so it was an easy upgrade from AMPS (analog) so initially the companies wouldn't have the pressure to roll it out all at once. EVDO was also designed to keep costs down. CDMA + EVDO deployments cost quite a bit less to deploy than GSM + WCDMA. This meant the $$$ spent could be spent more on increasing coverage and less on increasing capacity in existing coverage areas. The second factor is simply that AT&T & T-Mobile (the two predominant GSM carriers) have seriously skimped on $$$ invested in their networks, and the CDMA carriers have spent a lot to improve service and coverage area. The result, Verizon's got almost 100% of their network upgraded to EVDO, you could literally ride in a car coast-to-coast (about 3000 miles) and get EVDO the whole way. While AT&T (who has the largest WCDMA network in the US) has a much smaller network than Verizon, and have only about 20% of it upgraded to 3G.. result, they have about 10% the 3G that Verizon has... basically splotches of 3G surrounded by seas of EDGE and even some GPRS roaming.
I've heard it's similar in some high-population-density countries like South Korea and India -- basically, due to so many phone users and such heavy usage, CDMA +EVDO's higher capacity was a big deal.
Ultimately, going to LTE makes sense for both though -- for the CDMA guys, Qualcomm had an upgrade path up to UMB (Ultra Mobile Broadband), but the tech in UMB was very similar to Wimax and LTE anyway, so Verizon figured why not go LTE since it's going to be the standard among the GSM world anyway. And since they are the 1000 pound gorilla of GSM carriers here in the states, the other CDMA carriers are following along.

Willie Sugarcapps, a Sweet Combination of Pure, Authentic Talent
Like an old live oak tree, the numerous roots of Willie Sugarcapps run far, deep and wide, yet are all connected to one source, coastal Alabama.Edited August 21, 2013
Be sure to check out the brilliant confectionary combination live at  92ZEW's special CD Release FREE SHOW, Live Simulcast, Tues. August 20 at the Soul Kitchen. Â
August 20 is the official release date for the highly anticipated debut CD of Willie Sugarcapps, a group of stellar players individually, who've come together during a sort of homecoming and created a piece of work worthy of longevity with authentic slices of life and sounds from their respective hometowns on coastal Alabama.
The band consists of some southern Alabama favorites, former Mobilian, now Nashvillian Will Kimbrough (who's collaborated with Jimmy Buffett and Emylou Harris among others), Grayson Capps (full music credit in the John Travolta film 'Love Song for Bobby Long'), Sugarcane Jane's Anthony Crawford (Neil Young guitarist and well-known songwriter), and his partner Savannah Crawford, with that sweet magnolia voice and the highly sought after jazz/blues/rock guitarist Corky Hughes.
They came together at the rural haven, the Frog Pond at Blue Moon Farm (inspired by Levon Helm's Midnight Ramble, where musicians of different backgrounds and genres are invited to perform together, noodle with new sounds, and just jam for music's sake).  Each member takes on more than one role, leadsinger, songwriter, mandolin, violin, and guitar players that create a delicious pot of gumbo any chef would be proud of (or a box of chocolates). The fine production skills of Grammy Award winner Trina Shoemaker (whose credits include Queens of the Stone Age and Sheryl Crow) along with Willy Sugarcapps impeccably make the album come alive with spicy undertones and baritones complimenting the lyrics, creating a vivid imagery that pulls the listener in. . with , letting the stories and their emotions shine through.
 Each one carries their weight in songwriting and playing, yet the combined talent and experience form an instant pinnacle that soars higher than the simple stacking of their parts.
Americana Rock with some footstomping sing-a-longs and gentle tales of family, love. and life on the road, their debut record intertwines the deep south with the ebbs and flows, we all know, sometimes somber, other times gloriously happy, just like life. From the jigging sounds of Mr. Lee, who turns 93 today, to the pending doom of trouble rolling around the bend like a long passenger train screaming into the station. Southern places and southern troubles come to life as you feel the slow unending current of the river flow over you in "Mud Bottom" or drink the poison of the BP oil spill in "Poison" (Capps re-worked his NOLA romper with tongue in cheek reflections of the after-effects of the spill.)  On stage the energy of this quintet is not to be denied.
Definitely a must-see and a must-listen. Many congratulatory props to those who brought this brilliant project together.

A Sandwich A Day: Veninnis at Venissimo Cheese in San Diego, CA
A different sandwich profiled every single day.
In this great nation of ours, one could eat a different sandwich every day of the year—so that's what we'll do. Here's A Sandwich a Day, our daily look at sandwiches around the country. Got a sandwich we should check out? Let us know. —The Mgmt.
If your favorite element of a sandwich is the cheese, it makes sense to get one from a place whose primary focus is cheese. In San Diego, that's Venissimo, a cheese boutique where you can get a fresh-pressed "Veninni", with Bread and Cie bread and any cheese in the display case for $6.50. For an extra buck, you can add some charcuterie like sopressata salami or prosciutto. A piece of fruit (pear or grapes), comes complimentary.
Choosing a cheese is the tough part. There are approximately 100 options, and so many of them are worthy. Free samples can either make things easier, or much, much harder. I immediately struck gold with a rich and creamy gouda-like vlaskaas, but had to try several samples of charcuterie before I landed on the imported Italian porchetta (oh, darn). The best thing about these sandwiches is that, compared to most, the ratio of cheese to meat is reversed; thin slices of porchetta are completely dwarfed by the thick slab of cheese. The vlaskaas is rightfully the star; the meat, its +1.

It's important for your daughter to learn about western culture & food from her father. Why not just spend quality time with your daughter at a thanksgiving buffet. Leave the wife at home (that day means nothing to her). It can be the start of a nice father-daughter tradition. If you do that you'll have only 2 tickets to buy (still expensive i'll grant you that, but cheaper than 3 tickets). Just a suggestion, don't take offence at me suggesting to leave your wife at home. Seriously, i just want you to have a nice dinner (and your wife being 100% korean won't appreciate the foreign food as much as you will). If that's not pallatable, then maybe someone else knows about a cheaper option like you requested. Enjoy your meal whatever decision you make.

Time is almost up for Ratchet and Clank in their latest interstellar adventure on PS3. The Great Clock is ticking down as Ratchet discovers that his old enemy Dr Nefarious is behind Clank's kidnapping.
With help from a mysterious Lombax, Ratchet must embark on a new mission to save his robotic buddy before Dr Nefarious gains control of the most powerful weapon in the universe... time itself.
Check out the Ratchet and Clank: Time Travellers space in PlayStation Home*, play a cool mini-game and explore the duo's action-packed universe
*Please note that PlayStation Home is only available in the following languages: English, French, Spanish, German and Italian.
Bending time with Ratchet and Clank
Robot rescue
After being kidnapped by the mysterious Zoni at the end of Ratchet & Clank: Tools of Destruction, Clank finds himself on board The Great Clock - a giant mechanical space station that regulates the flow of time in the universe.
With The Great Clock under attack from Dr Nefarious, Clank works his way to the top with the help of a mystery voice. He soon discovers that this colossal timepiece at the centre of the universe (give or take 50 feet) means more to him than he could ever have imagined.
Meanwhile, Ratchet continues the search for his robotic buddy in the spaceship Aphelion, this time with Captain Qwark at his side. When they are shot down by mercenaries and crash-land on planet Quantos, our plucky Lombax learns that all is not well with the space-time continuum and that Dr. Nefarious is once again at the centre of it all.
Ratchet and Clank, inseparable for so long, must go it alone if they are to foil Dr Nefarious and discover the truths behind their respective origins. But as fate and time have pulled them apart, the same forces draw them to the same destination - the centre of the universe.
Meet the cast
Once a simple Lombax mechanic yearning for adventure, Ratchet's life has been transformed into one galaxy-saving quest after another since he met a little robot fugitive called Clank. Ratchet is an expert at fixing things and upgrading weapons and gadgets using his Omniwrench, and thanks to his exploits over the years, he's able to wield a full arsenal of outlandish firearms.
XJ-0461 - or as we know him, Clank - is the yin to Ratchet's yang; the wingnut to his threaded coach bolt. His size comes in handy, allowing him to manoeuvre into tight spaces, and gadgets such as the Helipack, Thrusterpack and Hydropack make him an adaptable sidekick. However, when kidnapped by the Zoni and transported to The Great Clock, he learns of his own personal responsibilities and must face up to life outside of Ratchet's shadow.
Years stranded on an asteroid with only a sarcastic butler for company would send anyone insane, and Dr. Nefarious had a few screws loose to begin with. The archetypical mad robotic scientist, he detests organic life - or squishies, as he calls them - and is forever plotting to obliterate his nemesis, Ratchet. He is believed to be involved in Clank's kidnap, although why he is interested in The Great Clock is unknown...
The softest fur in the galaxy
Ratchet & Clank: A Crack in Time features the bright, colourful graphics, high quality animation and cheeky humour for which the series is renowned. The cutscenes driving the story are laugh-out-loud funny, particularly those involving Captain Qwark.
The bombastic orchestral soundtrack works well with the epic adventure and quirky sound effects are in keeping with the humour that runs throughout. Similarly, the voice acting is superb and gives real personality to the Dickensian cast of weird and wonderful beings.
Recording your every move
The game's twin narrative, with Ratchet and Clank separated from the outset, allows for two very different styles of play. Clank's sections on-board The Great Clock focus less on combat and more on the innovative time puzzles that are new to the series.
As you enter each room you are faced with big red switches connected to locked doors, lifts and moving platforms. You'll also find up to four Time Pads, and by standing on one of these, you can start a recording of your movements lasting up to a minute. When you stop the recording and move onto the next Time Pad, the previous version of yourself springs to life and carries out which ever actions you recorded - much like a ghost replay in a racing game. The idea is to have all of these replays doing the right things at the right times to open the door at the opposite end of the room.
Ratchet's stages will be more familiar to fans of the series and there are many gameplay additions to keep things fresh. Each stage presents you with a mix of platforming and blasting with an outlandish arsenal of upgradeable weapons at your disposal, such as the Groovitron Glove which, when deployed, prompts uncontrollable disco dancing from all enemies in the area.
Space exploration is another major gameplay addition, with Ratchet now able to explore the galaxy at the player's own pace and stop off to answer distress calls and hunt down secret items. You can also engage in space battles and upgrade your ship's on-board arsenal.

I've made potato pretzel rolls before and they came out great. This time I used some fresh milled Durum flour and some fresh ricotta cheese in addition to some rye flour and 00 type flour to make them a little airy. I probably should have cut back the water around 50 grams but overall these came out real tasty.
I used some cheese and some sesame seeds for topping some of the rolls and traditional pretzel salts as well.
Caution: When using the Lye make sure you wear gloves, long sleeves and protective eye gear. Also, never add Lye to hot water or it will bubble over and probably burn you.
Main Dough Ingredients for 14 rolls at about 110 grams each or about 13 at 135 grams each
For the BreadStorm download file press here.
For Lye Bath (3.5% Solution
2 Liters (1836 grams) of Cold water
70 grams Sodium Hydroxide Crystals
Make the Levain
Add your seed starter (20 grams) to the indicated amount of flour and water and mix until incorporated. Cover and let sit out at room temperature of in your proofer until nice and bubbly around 6-10 hours depending on your temperature. Use immediately or refrigerate for a few days until ready to mix the main dough.
Add the diastatic malt powder to the water and stir. Add the flours in your mixing bowl and slowly add the water mixture. Mix for about 1 minute until combined. Cut your starter in pieces and lay on top of the flour mixture and cover and let rest for 30 minutes to 1 hour so the flour can absorb the water.
Next add the salt, ricotta cheese and potatoes and mix for 6 minutes on low. Place the dough in a slightly oiled bowl and do a couple of stretch and folds. Cover the bowl and let it rest for 10-15 minutes. Do another stretch and fold in the bowl and let it rest another 10-15 minutes. Do another stretch and fold and let the dough sit out in the covered bowl for another 1.5 hours. Place the dough in the refrigerator until ready to bake the next day.
When ready to bake take the dough out and leave it covered in your bowl for 2 hours. Next divide the dough into pieces that are 110 grams each or 135 grams for larger rolls . Shape as rolls and place on a baking sheet and cover with either a moist towel or plastic wrap sprayed with cooking spray. Let it rest for around 60 minutes to about 1/2 proof.
While the rolls are proofing, fill a large stock pot with 2 liters of cold water. Measure out the Lye and slowly add it to the cold water. (DO NOT EVER ADD LYE TO HOT WATER). Cover the pot and bring it to a rolling boil and then shut off the heat.
Pre-heat your oven to 500 degrees. When the rolls are proofed sufficiently, prepare to dip them for about 15 seconds in the lye bath upside down. Let them drain on a bakers rack over a cookie tray covered with a towel or parchment paper. After draining for a minute you can transfer them to a cookie/baking sheet that has been sprayed with cooking spray. You want to use a stainless steel cooking sheet as aluminum may react with the lye and peel. Note: do not ever use parchment paper as the rolls will get stuck to the bottom. I know this from experience and I had to cut off the bottoms of half the rolls I made. I actually use my Silpat non-stick sheets which work like a charm.
When ready to bake, score each roll with an "X" on the middle and sprinkle with pretzel salt. Make sure you use pretzel salt if you want authentic rolls. As I said previously I used some fresh Parmesan in place of the salt on a few rolls and they were awesome.
Bake for about 15-20 minutes until they are golden brown and register about 200 F in the middle. Let them cool on a bakers rack until you can't wait any longer!
Note: you cannot store these in a plastic bag or covered really otherwise the salt will react with the moisture in the air and you will end up with soggy tops. I place them in a paper bag and leave it open so the air circulates.

i have no idea how the route of the calculation.
1. 2.6 ml UV-assay buffer add to cuvette
2. 50 ul sample add to curvette and measure absorbance 324 nm (A324 nm of sample)
3. 200 ul DTDP solution add to curvette. If the absorbance is greater than 1, repeat 2 and 3 with less starting sample. Measure the absorbance at 324 nm. Note the absorbance (A324 of reaction)
4. Calculation the protein concentration and cysteine concentration of the samples.
you need to know either extintion coeficient or have some calibration done
You will measure, dilute and measure until you get an absorbance between 1 and 2 (in the Beer's law range). As Jack wrote, you need a molar extinction coefficient. Your path length is likely 1cm for a garden-variety spectrometer. Solve Beer's law for the concentration, then plug in your values for the extinction coefficient, the path length and the absorbance.
Solve Beer's law for concentration and look at the units. Absorbance has no units. The units of the extinction coefficient are typically M^-1 cm^-1; in that case, a 1cm cell path length cancels out the cm^-1 unit and you'll end up with a concentration in moles/liter. Watch the units on your extinction coefficient, sometimes they are different (you could, for instance, have an extinction coefficient calibrated as (pounds/quart)^-1 inches^-1, though anyone reporting an extinction coefficient in those units should be tarred and feathered).
The concentration you get from Beer's law is the concentration in the cell at the time the measurement was made. You need to calculate back to the concentration of the original sample in 50ul. That's a pretty straightforward dilution calculation. You can use V1C1=V2C2.
