Murray rolls past Djokovic for Wimbledon title
LONDON (AP) — Andy Murray needed one more point, one solitary point, to win Wimbledon — a title he yearned to earn for himself, of course, and also for his country.
Britain had endured 77 years since one of its own claimed the men's trophy at the revered tournament referred to simply as The Championships, and now here was Murray, on the brink of triumph after 3 hours of grueling tennis against top-seeded Novak Djokovic under a vibrant sun at Centre Court.
Up 40-love, Murray failed to convert his first match point. And his second. And then, yes, his third, too. On and on the contest, and accompanying tension, stretched, Murray unable to close it, Djokovic unwilling to yield, the minutes certainly feeling like hours to those playing and those watching. Along came three break points for Djokovic, all erased. Finally, on Murray's fourth chance to end it, Djokovic dumped a backhand into the net.
The final was over.
The wait was over.
A year after coming oh-so-close by losing in the title match at the All England Club, the No. 2-ranked Murray beat No. 1 Djokovic of Serbia 6-4, 7-5, 6-4 Sunday to become Wimbledon's champion in a test of will and skill between a pair of men with mirror-image defensive styles that created lengthy points brimming with superb shots.
"That last game will be the toughest game I'll play in my career. Ever," said Murray, who was born in Dunblane, Scotland, and is the first British man to win the grass-court Grand Slam tournament since Fred Perry in 1936. "Winning Wimbledon — I still can't believe it. Can't get my head around that. I can't believe it."
For several seasons, Murray was the outsider looking in, while Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Djokovic collected 29 out of 30 Grand Slam titles. But now Murray has clearly and completely turned the Big 3 into a Big 4, having reached the finals at the last four major tournaments he entered (he withdrew from the French Open in May because of a bad back). And he's now a two-time Slam champion, having defeated Djokovic in five sets at the U.S. Open in September.
All this from a guy who lost his first four major finals, including against Federer at Wimbledon in 2012. After that defeat, Murray's voice cracked and tears rolled as he told the crowd, "I'm getting closer."
How prescient. Four weeks later, on the same court, he beat Federer for a gold medal at the London Olympics, a transformative victory if ever there was one. And 52 weeks later, on the same court, he beat Djokovic for the Wimbledon championship.
"You need that self-belief in the important moments," observed Djokovic, a six-time major champion, "and he's got it now."
Murray's mother, Judy, who is Britain's Fed Cup captain, agreed that the setback 12 months ago "was a turning point in some ways."
"Every time you have a really tough loss, a loss that really hurts you," she said, "I think you learn a lot about how to handle the occasions better going forward."
Murray trailed 4-1 in the second set Sunday, and 4-2 in the third, before wiggling his way back in front each time.
He won the last four games, breaking for a 5-4 lead when Djokovic flubbed a forehand, setting off a standing ovation and applause that lasted more than a full minute. When he got out of his changeover chair, preparing to serve for the title, an earsplitting roar accompanied his trek to the baseline.
Djokovic missed a backhand, Murray smacked a backhand winner and added a 131 mph (211 kph) service winner, and suddenly one point was all that remained between him and history. That's where things got a tad complicated.
On match point No. 1, Djokovic capped a 12-stroke exchange with a forehand volley winner. On No. 2, Djokovic hit a backhand return winner off an 84 mph (135 kph) second serve. On No. 3, Murray sailed a backhand long on the ninth shot.
Now it was deuce.
"I started to feel nervous and started thinking about what just happened," Murray said. "There's a lot of things you're thinking of at that moment."
The match continued for eight additional points.
Seemed to take an eternity.
"Just how that last game went, my head was kind of everywhere. I mean, some of the shots he came up with were unbelievable," Murray said. "At the end of the match, I didn't quite know what was going on. Just a lot of different emotions."
Any of Djokovic's break points in that game would have made it 5-all, and who knows what toll that would have taken on Murray's mind? But Murray erased the first two chances with a 116 mph service winner, then a forehand winner on the 21st stroke.
At deuce for a third time, Djokovic conjured up a forehand passing winner to get his third break point. Murray dropped his head and placed his hands on his knees. The crowd clapped rhythmically and shouted, "Andy! Andy!" They couldn't know it, but their man wouldn't lose another point.
On a 16-shot exchange, Djokovic delivered an overhead that was retrieved, then tried a drop shot that Murray got back. Djokovic put the ball in the net, and Murray was at match point No. 4. When that one went Murray's way, the ball on Djokovic's side of the court, Murray dropped his neon-red racket, yanked his white hat off and pumped both fists overhead, screaming, "Yes! Yes!"
He was looking directly at the corner of the stadium with benches for members of the press, a group that he used to worry helped fuel the intense pressure and only-one-way-to-satisfy-them expectations on Murray's shoulders.
"It's hard. It's really hard. You know, for the last four or five years, it's been very, very tough, very stressful," Murray said. "It's just kind of everywhere you go. It's so hard to avoid everything because of how big this event is, but also because of the history and no Brit having won."
When a Brit did win, 15,000 or so spectators around the arena rose and yelled right back at him, some waving Union Jacks or blue-and-white Scottish flags. Soon, Murray was climbing into the guest box for hugs with his girlfriend, his mother and his coach, Ivan Lendl, who won eight major titles as a player but never fared better than the runner-up at Wimbledon.
"I didn't always feel it was going to happen," said Murray, who fumbled with his gold trophy after the ceremony, dropping the lid. "It's incredibly difficult to win these events. I don't think that's that well-understood sometimes. It takes so much hard work, mental toughness, to win these sort of tournaments."
At the end, across the grounds, thousands responded with cheers while watching on a giant videoboard at the picnic lawn known as Murray Mount. And, surely, millions more following along on TV across Britain stood up from their sofas. British Prime Minister David Cameron was in the Royal Box, a sign of the day's significance, and Buckingham Palace confirmed that Queen Elizabeth II sent Murray a private message afterward.
"The end of the match, that was incredibly loud, very noisy," Murray said. "It does make a difference. It really helps when the crowd's like that, the atmosphere is like that. Especially in a match as tough as that one, where it's extremely hot, brutal, long rallies, tough games — they help you get through it."
Said Djokovic, who famously ate blades of grass after winning Wimbledon in 2011: "The atmosphere was incredible for him. For me, not so much. But that's what I expected."
The fans were active participants throughout, lamenting "awwww" when Murray missed a serve; cheering rowdily when he hit one of his 36 winners, five more than Djokovic; shushing in unison when someone called out in premature agony or delight while a point was in progress.
That was understandable. Points rarely are over when they appear to be if Murray and Djokovic are involved. The elastic Djokovic's sliding carries him to so many shots, while Murray is more of a powerful scrambler. It took a half-hour to get through the opening five games, in part because 10 of 32 points lasted at least 10 strokes apiece. And this all happened with the temperature above 80 degrees (27 Celsius), with only the occasional puff of cloud interrupting the blue sky.
Born a week apart in May 1987, Murray and Djokovic have known each other since they were 11, and they grasp the ins and outs of each other's games so well.
"You've got to fight so hard to get past Novak, because he's such an incredible competitor, an amazing athlete, and it's never over 'til it's over," Judy Murray said.
This was their 19th meeting on tour (Djokovic leads 11-8), and their fourth in a Grand Slam final, including three in the past year. Both are fantastic returners, and Murray broke seven times Sunday, once more than Djokovic lost his serve in the preceding six matches combined.
In the late going, Djokovic was taking some shortcuts, repeatedly trying drop shots or rushing to the net to shorten points, but neither strategy tended to work.
"He was getting some incredible shots on the stretch and running down the drop shots," Djokovic said. "He was all over the court."
Admittedly feeling the effects of his five-setter Friday against Juan Martin del Potro — at 4 hours, 43 minutes, it's the longest semifinal in Wimbledon history — Djokovic was far more erratic than Murray, with particular problems on the backhand side. Djokovic wound up with 40 unforced errors, nearly double Murray's 21.
"I wasn't patient enough," Djokovic said.
Ah, patience. The British needed plenty when it comes to their precious, prestigious tennis tournament.
Thanks to Murray, the wait is over.

CHOP Celebrates 16th CFDT Family Reunion
Published on in CHOP News
Skip to content
Published on in CHOP News
June 24, 2012 — More than 1,300 people, from 18 states across the country, gathered today to celebrate the 16th Annual Center for Fetal Diagnosis and Treatment Fetal Family Reunion at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP).
The reunion brings together families who have shared similar health challenges; nearly all of the children in attendance were prenatally diagnosed with a birth defect, like spina bifida, congenital heart disease or twin-twin transfusion syndrome, that can often have potentially devastating outcomes. In the cases represented by the families at the reunion, those diagnosed with these birth defects either underwent fetal surgery to treat the condition before birth or needed immediate specialized care after birth.
"The families gathered here today are just a small portion of the more than 12,000 expectant mothers from around the world that we've been able to help and support over the last 16 years," said N. Scott Adzick, MD, surgeon-In-chief at CHOP and director of the Center for Fetal Diagnosis and Treatment. "It is truly inspiring to see so many children, who as babies likely could have died, now running around and growing up healthy and strong."
Birth defects like the types treated at the Center are common; one in 33 babies in the U.S. is born with a birth defect each year. Since 1995, CHOP's Center for Fetal Diagnosis and Treatment has been able to provide care for many families who had been previously told that their baby had little chance for survival. This annual reunion is an opportunity for staff and patient families to reunite and celebrate. Attendance at these reunions has grown from 10 families at the first reunion to more than 250 families today.
"The fetal family reunion is our team's favorite day of the year," said Adzick. "As the field of fetal surgery and therapy continues to advance, specifically in light of our recent developments in fetal surgery for spina bifida, we look forward to treating more and more babies before they are born."
To meet some children treated by CHOP's Center for Fetal Diagnosis and Treatment and Fetal Heart Program, and to view photos from the 16th annual Reunion, visit the Center's Facebook page.

Family Time: Tips and advice to tackle parenthood's messes and stresses
Tip of the Week
Actor and comedian David Koechner - who appears in "Anchorman" and "The Office" - is the father of five children with the youngest, Eve, still in diapers. Over the past 13 years of raising children, David and his wife, Leigh, have experienced countless moments and mishaps - and have some great tips on how to tackle busy adventures in parenthood with honesty and humor.
"Find something your family enjoys doing together and make it a weekly activity," Koechner says. "We have Friday night family night where we make a big dinner and play games. We purposely make a huge mess that takes all of our Koechner army to clean up - but it is fun and something we look forward to and do together every week."
Here are more of David's tips and advice for navigating messes and stresses with little ones throughout the whole day.
- Morning: With multiple children - getting everyone up and out the door can be a challenge. Even our youngest Eve is on the go and wants to join her brothers and sisters on the school bus. She tries to toddle off after them, usually in just her diaper. But that's why we like Huggies Little Movers Diapers - because she likes to "move it, move it" - and with the SnugFit waistband her diaper stays in place and keeps her dry no matter what she's trying to get into.
- Noon: By midday, it's usually time to take a deep breath. Your schedule might have been thrown off course thanks to the messes that have popped up - but take a beat and try to laugh about it. Make a funny video on your phone and show it to your kids when they get home; you can make some pretty hilarious memories at the same time.
- Night: Ah, finally you can try to relax after getting up three times for glasses of water, tucks into bed and picking blankies up off the floor. Thankfully, Eve has stopped trying to climb out of her crib - we still keep a close eye on her, but know she's safe and won't be waking up with a leaky diaper. Huggies Overnites Diapers help her stay dry for up to 12 hours between her twists and turns so we're able to actually get some sleep ourselves.

Synopsis: Jamie Grimm is a middle schooler on a mission: he wants to become the world's greatest standup comedian — even if he doesn't have a lot to laugh about these days. He's new in town and stuck living with his aunt, uncle, and their evil son Stevie, a bully who doesn't let Jamie's wheelchair stop him from messing with Jamie as much as possible. But Jamie doesn't let his situation get him down. He practices the craft of stand-up every day on friends, family, and the willing customers at his Uncle Frankie's diner. When Uncle Frankie mentions a contest called The Planet's Funniest Kid Comic, Jamie knows he has to enter. But are the judges only rewarding him out of pity because of his wheelchair, like Stevie suggests?

No Child Left Behind
On January 8, 2002, President George W. Bush signed into law the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB). This new law represents his education reform plan and contains the most sweeping changes to the Elementary and Secondary Education Act since it was enacted in 1965. It changes the federal role in education by asking America's schools to describe their success in terms of what each student accomplishes. The act contains the president's four basic education reform principles.
- Stronger accountability for results
- Local control and flexibility
- Expanded options for parents
- An emphasis on effective and proven teaching methods
In sum, this lawin partnership with parents, communities, school leadership and classroom teacherswill ensure that every child in America receives a great education and that no child is left behind.

What is Ubuntu GTK1.2 Remix?
Ubuntu GTK1.2 Remix is a revision of an Ubuntu 8.04 live CD that is intended to run on old, outdated hardware, with a target in the sub-300Mhz range.
It relies almost entirely on GTK1.2-based software, which means it should prove both fast and ugly in equal measures, on almost any computer that can run the i386 version of an Ubuntu command-line system.
This version is free to download and modify by any user.
Future development
There are no plans to update Ubuntu GTK1.2 Remix in the future. The current ISO is "final," and aside from core updates to the Ubuntu 8.04 system software, don't look for improvements or rereleases. This is mostly because my own philosophy toward very-low-end hardware has changed somewhat, and the project is no longer appealing to me.
Please feel free to modify and rerelease the ISO if you like, or to use parts of it in your own creations.
What is a remix?
A remix is a 'respun' version of Ubuntu built for a specific purpose. Ubuntu GTK1.2 Remix is a variation on the standard command-line installation, with additional packages available, and others removed entirely. You may have some compatibility issues, depending on your hardware profile. For now Ubuntu GTK1.2 Remix is recommended only for intermediate or advanced Linux users.
Technical specifications
Minimum hardware requirements:
- Processor: Any machine that can handle the i386 command-line version of Ubuntu should suffice; pre-Pentium Pro systems may suffer
- RAM: Between 32-128Mb should suffice
- Optical: Booting from CD is, of course, a requirement; if you're using a machine that does not naturally boot from CD, look into Smart Boot Manager, as Mikko suggests below. 😉
Major open source applications included:
Additional packages include alsa-utils, readahead, preload, localepurge, debfoster, scrot and now feh.
The ISO is available from Filefront here, or from this mirror, graciously provided by chris4585. A torrent is available on LinuxTracker.org. The ISO also includes packages of Beaver 0.2.7, as well as a recompiled version of Dillo that removes antialiasing, and a copy of the Hardy rebuild of XMMS available from Launchpad.
How do I find out more?
Add a comment here and I will entertain your thoughts. However, I probably will not acquiesce to
- Complaints about the appearance. If you don't like it, change it.
- Suggestions about alternative software. If you want to use Firefox, install it.
- Insults against my person. 😆
Bug reports or difficulties with configuration, etc., should be handled through the usual channels, such as the Ubuntu Forums or Launchpad.net. If you have problems with the two packages that were recompiled specifically for this remix — dillo-0.8.6-i18n-misc or beaver-0.2.7 — post a reply here or send me an e-mail.
If you prefer a discussion thread, one is underway here, in the Other OS Talk area of the Ubuntu Forums.
Additional notes
- An enormous amount of software has been yanked out, including most of ubuntu-standard and ubuntu-minimal. Video drivers for xorg have been left in, but things like the Wacom package have been removed.
- Most of the internationalization packages have been removed, including low-level packages like util-linux-locales.
- Locales have been set to en_US and ja_JP, and everything else has been purged out. The sources.list file points at the University of Toyama repositories, which are probably inconvenient for you. All source repositories have been disabled.
- The sysctl.conf file has been hotwired for performance. vm_swappiness is set to 0, kernel.threads_max is 512, and vm.vfs_cache_pressure is at 50. In /etc/init.d/rc, CONCURRENCY is set to "shell." Networking settings are adjusted for high-end broadband access, and ipv6 is blacklisted. Unnecessary references in the /etc/rc.? directories have been removed.
- ~/.profile has been adjusted to automatically start X after logging in at the terminal prompt on tty1. You have only two active console screens — tty1 and tty2.
- The X desktop uses IceWM-lite as the window manager, has the GTK1.2 theme set to Mist, and sets the /etc/gtk/gtkrc.utf-8 file to use a slightly smaller font than a default Ubuntu system. The window manager theme is IceSimple, from box-look.org.
- If you want to install this system, run "sudo ./install.sh" from the command line. Please be aware that the installer is intended only for a single-drive system, and creates only one kind of partition scheme. There is no allowance for multiple drives or unusual system arrangements.
- Post-installation, I suggest reprofiling your boot, adjusting the /boot/grub/menu.lst file and optimizing the directory trees, since the filesystem allows it.
Known Issues
- The right-click reboot and shutdown commands don't work; it's possible that the sudoers file is somehow changed between the live environment and the installed system.
- The hosts file still makes reference to 127.0.1.1 as ubuntu, which I don't think should be there. That should be easy to clip out.
- Text-mode boot doesn't work; it still jumps to the graphical environment. I think this might be in part due to the addition of the startx command to the default .profile, so no matter what "mode" is started, it goes graphical. I'll think about this one, but I'm tempted to leave it as it is. It's not meant to be a command-line live CD, so text-mode boots are tertiary, in my mind.

Letterman to Retire, Ending Longest Run as Late-Night TV Host
NEW YORK – David Letterman is retiring next year as host of "Late Show."
During a taping of Thursday's show, Letterman said he has informed CBS that he will step down in 2015, when his current contract expires.
He specified no end date, telling his audience he expects his exit will be in "at least a year or so, but sometime in the not too distant future — 2015, for the love of God — (band leader) Paul (Shaffer) and I will be wrapping things up."
Referring to CBS chairman Leslie Moonves as "the man who owns this network," Letterman said: "I phoned him just before the program, and I said 'Leslie, it's been great, you've been great, and the network has been great, but I'm retiring.'"
Along with his network, Letterman thanked "all of the people who have worked here, all of the people in the theater, all the people on the staff, everybody at home, thank you very much.
"What this means now," he cracked, "is that Paul and I can be married."
Letterman, who turns 67 next week, has the longest tenure of any late-night talk show host in U.S. television history, already marking 32 years since he created "Late Night" at NBC in 1982.
After losing the "Tonight Show" throne to rival candidate Jay Leno in 1993, he jumped to CBS to start "Late Show."
"For 21 years, David Letterman has graced our network's air in late night with wit, gravitas and brilliance unique in the history of our medium," said Moonves. "It's going to be tough to say goodbye. Fortunately, we won't have to do that for another year or so. Until then, we look forward to celebrating Dave's remarkable show and incredible talents."
Leno retired from "The Tonight Show" earlier this year, making way for "Late Night" host Jimmy Fallon to take over the NBC institution.
But in an interview with Howard Stern in January, Letterman said that Leno's departure would have no impact on how much longer he might stay as host of "Late Show."
"I would do it forever if it were up to me," said Letterman, before adding a wry aside: "Sometimes, it isn't up to me."
With the late-night landscape now settling at NBC, Who Replaces Letterman becomes the new guessing game. In the wings as a likely heir: Craig Ferguson, host of "The Late Late Show," which follows Letterman.

Not giving in to seasonal creep
Sometimes I feel like I'm banging my head against the wall because no one seems to care and nothing changes, but I will not stop.
I will not accept seasonal beer creep without complaining. I was going to ignore it this time. But I can't.
We had a foot of snow here in Massachusetts last week. On the same day, I saw a photo posted on Facebook of Samuel Adams Summer Ale 12 packs sitting in the snow, waiting to be brought into a store. At the time, it was still winter and summer beers were in stores.
This is not an attack on Samuel Adams. I've seen many summer beers in stores already from several breweries.
The original idea behind seasonal beers was you would use the ingredients that were available to you at the time due to what season it was. That is not really necessary anymore, because you can pretty much get any ingredient you want from somewhere else, even if it's not available to you locally.
But, it's the tradition of the seasonal beers. I remember when I couldn't wait until the end of November and early December before I could get the Samuel Smith's Winter Welcome, or wait until September to get my hands on a good pumpkin ale.
Now, if I want a pumpkin ale, I'll just start looking around the Fourth of July.
I wish breweries would respect "the rhythm of the seasons," instead of rushing to make sure they have the first seasonal on the shelf.

Business update: Government lets banks, marijuana sellers perform transactions
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The Obama administration on Friday gave banks a road map for conducting transactions with legal marijuana sellers so these new businesses can stash away savings, make payroll and pay taxes like any other enterprise. It's not clear banks will get on board.
Guidance issued by the Justice and Treasury departments is the latest step by the federal government toward enabling a legalized marijuana industry to operate in states that approve it. The intent is to make banks feel more comfortable working with marijuana businesses that are licensed and regulated.
Others have a keen interest, too, in a regulated financial pipeline for an industry that is just emerging from the underground. Marijuana businesses that can't use banks may have too much cash they can't safely put away, leaving them vulnerable to criminals. And governments that allow marijuana sales want a channel to receive taxes.
"After a series of red lights, we expected this guidance to be a yellow one," said Don Childears, president and CEO of the Colorado Bankers Association. "This isn't close to that. At best, this amounts to 'serve these customers at your own risk' and it emphasizes all of the risks. This light is red."
Washington and Colorado in 2012 became the first states to approve recreational use of marijuana. A group is hoping to make Alaska the third state in the nation to do so.
Currently, processing money from marijuana sales puts federally insured banks at risk of drug racketeering charges, so they've refused to open accounts for marijuana-related businesses.
Friday's move was designed to let financial institutions serve such businesses while ensuring that they know their customers' legitimacy and remain obligated to report possible criminal activity, said the Treasury Department's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, or FinCEN.
But in response, the American Bankers Association said "guidance or regulation doesn't alter the underlying challenge for banks. As it stands, possession or distribution of marijuana violates federal law, and banks that provide support for those activities face the risk of prosecution and assorted sanctions."
The group says banks will only be comfortable serving marijuana businesses if federal prohibitions on the drug are changed in law.
Denny Eliason, a lobbyist for the Washington Bankers Association, said it will take some time before banks decide whether to take advantage of the guidance. He called it a good first step, but said it sets forth a complicated process for the banks to follow — for example, by filing suspicious activity reports designated "marijuana limited" in the case of business that seem to be complying with the rules, and "marijuana priority" for those acting questionably.
"They'll have to have a real awareness of the activities of their customers," he said.

Smack in the middle of Cedar Lane stands Noah's Ark (493 Cedar Lane; Teaneck, NJ 07666; Telephone: 201.692.1200) this roomy180 ft long eatery sits 190 people comfortably. Established in 1988 by a young Noam Sokolow (who started in the food industry at the tender age of 14), it has grown from a neighborhood deli style place to the largest family Glatt Kosher restaurant in all of Jersey – boasting over 140 different items on its extensive menu.
Get this- 20 different types of burgers!! So many mouthwatering choices, ranging from their Lower East Side Burger ( topped with their succulent chulent and kishka), to their Ginormous Burger (a Super-Deluxe 36ozs. mouthwatering grilled burger, topped with LTO – lettuce, tomato and onions – and a side of crispy french fries). CS and I shared their BBQ Brisket Burger, topped with slow-roasted brisket, caramelized onions and their Chef's Special BBQ Sauce, with a side of sweet potato fries and Chipottle sauce. A glorious, perfectly cooked, fat, juicy, oversized burger topped with melt-in-your-mouth sauce. It was thoroughly decadent and delicious!
Noah's Ark likes to do things up 'big'. Their portion sizes are huuuuge!. Last year, as a kick-off event for the Big Apple Games – featuring an Israeli team – they entered the Guinness Book of World records with the world's largest matzo ball – weighing in at a hefty 267 pounds.
What Noam served up for us, was comparably massive, we couldn't begin to do it justice! We started with their X-treme Combo Appetizer of onion rings, chicken wings and chicken fingers. All three were great. My family happens to love chicken nuggets and these tenders rivaled any of our favorites in Brooklyn.
We followed with a Nacho Appetizer of chopped salad mixed with Mexican spiced chopped meat, sitting on tortilla chips topped with guacamole and pareve sour cream. I found it far above similar dishes I've eaten at other establishments billing themselves as Mexican…
We sampled their deli favorites of Corned Beef and Pastrami on rye. Both were reminiscent of the old Shmulke Bernstein's on Essex – hot, fresh, tender, great quality and well seasoned. All we missed was the side of cole slaw and Guss's sour pickles.
I chose their popular Large Tossed Salad with Grilled Chicken, one of the many healthy additions made to the menu as their customer base became more health conscientious.
Noam's got a really simple modus operandi – Give the customers what they want! Though he runs a tight ship with loyal long tenured staff, he claims not to be the boss, "the customers really own the restaurant." Noam's totally customer driven; "If the customers walk out happy, I'm happy!" Noah's Ark has evolved with its customers. They, like their consumers, are more sophisticated and health savvy. Their landmark establishment is like a gastronomic family retrospective. Entire families have grown up on this delicious comfort food; sustaining folks from Bris to nuptials. Their Dove Room, celebrating simchas/private parties holds anywhere from 40-100 people at affordable rates of $35-$45 per person.
Whether for corporate or simcha events, Noah's Ark will deliver platters and meals right to your doorstep. And if you're on the road, not to worry, Noah's Ark has full portion travel meals that can be Fed Ex'ed next day to your destination anywhere in the U.S. Hours of operation are M-Th 10-10 fri- 8-4 and Sunday 9:30-10. A great place to take the family; in fact, make it a tradition!

Total sales of annuity products reached $219 billion in 2012—the lowest level since 2005— according to LIMRA, which released its top 20 list of annuity sellers Thursday.
Variable annuity sales hit $147 billion, and fixed annuity sales weighed in at $73 billion, LIMRA reported.
"Unlike historical trends, VA sales (down 7% in 2012) did not follow equity market growth, which increased 13%" in 2012, Joseph Montminy, assistant vice president and director of LIMRA Annuity Research, told AdvisorOne. "VA sales performance in 2012 was clearly influenced by companies' strategic management of their books of business—removing some products from the market, limiting additional contributions into existing contracts and revising features/pricing on GLB riders."
The record indexed annuity sales of $33.9 billion in 2012, Montminy added, "could not overcome the sharp decline in traditional fixed-rate products sales (MVA and book-value), causing an overall decline in fixed annuity sales (down 11% in 2012).
"As a result, total annuity sales fell 8% in 2012 to reach $219.4 billion."
Cathy Weatherford, president of the Insured Retirement Institute, said recently that innovations and new offerings in deferred income annuities (DIAs), a form of fixed annuity, would become "the fastest growing product in 2013" on a percentage basis. A DIA, sometimes referred to as longevity insurance, allows the owner to defer the start of the guaranteed income stream.
IRI also reported that within the variable annuity market, while living benefit elections during the past few years have reached about 90%, many companies are aggressively developing new products without a living benefit to cater to consumers interested only in tax deferral or diversifying into different asset classes. This is expected to continue into 2013.
Here are the Top 20 companies in fixed and variable annuity sales in 2012, followed by the Top 20 in total annuity sales:

PRESIDENT APOLOGIZES–In this Feb. 16, 2012 photo President Barack Obama walks with California Attorney General Kamala Harris, center, after arriving at San Francisco International Airport in San Francisco. (AP Photo/Eric Risberg, File)
by Darlene Superville
Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama has apologized to California Attorney General Kamala Harris for causing a stir when he called her "the best-looking attorney general" at a Democratic fundraiser they attended together this week.
A spokesman for Harris said she had a great conversation with Obama and strongly supports him but would not say whether she had accepted the president's apology.
Obama apologized to Harris by telephone Thursday night after returning from two days of fundraising in California, White House press secretary Jay Carney said.
At a fundraiser in Silicon Valley earlier that day, Obama raised eyebrows when he said Harris "happens to be, by far, the best-looking attorney general in the country. It's true! C'mon." He prefaced the remark by saying she is "brilliant and she is dedicated and she is tough, and she is exactly what you'd want in anybody who is administering the law."
Harris was present and had addressed the crowd before the president spoke.
The "best-looking" comment instantly lit up news blogs and websites, with some highlighting it as an example of the hurdles working women still face.
Carney and Harris' spokesman, Gil Duran, both noted that Obama and Harris are longtime friends.
"He called her to apologize for the distraction created by his comments," Carney told reporters Friday. "He did not want in any way to diminish the attorney general's professional accomplishments and her capabilities."
He noted that Obama also commented on Harris' smarts.
Carney went on to say that Obama "fully recognizes the challenge women continue to face in the workplace and that they should not be judged based on appearance."
In an emailed statement, Duran noted the longstanding ties between Obama and Harris.
"They had a great conversation yesterday, and she strongly supports him," he said.
Duran later said he would not comment beyond the statement. He declined to say whether Harris had accepted the president's apology or whether she was offended by his comment.
Harris had scheduled no public appearances Friday and was not expected to comment herself.
Harris and Obama have campaigned for each other in prior elections. Some pundits also have described her as a female version of Obama because of her stage presence and because, like the president, she is of mixed race.
Associated Press writer Don Thompson in Sacramento, Calif., contributed to this report.

As I always end up doing, I made my own cake again this year - though Jeff did help this time... helped to taste test anyway! I've never been very traditional in picking out what to make, so I randomly picked out this Coffee Pecan Meringue Cake to try! What's funny is that I don't enjoy coffee much at all, however, I love desserts and treats that have that pungent brew in them - I don't get it either, but it works for me.
Rather than actual "cake", the layers are made from a flour-less sweet meringue that we spiked with finely chopped pecans. To ensure the layers were roughly the same size, we traced a 10" circle on to a couple pieces of parchment paper, flipped them over and used the outline as a guide to smear on the meringue. We found a dinner plate was just the right size for this - the edges of the meringue will probably be fairly ragged, but don't worry or try to get them perfect as they'll be trimmed off later on. After baking the meringues until they were golden, we set the two discs aside while I got working on a smashing filling.
Instead of a super-sweet buttercream made from loads of confectioners' sugar and butter, we prepared a Swiss Meringue that we infused with two types of coffee. This frosting is a little more work, but extremely worth the effort. We needed to heat egg whites and sugar over boiling water to start out - this first warms up the egg whites so they will whip to a greater volume, but this process also melts the sugar into those whites, making for a stable mixture. They are then whipped until the bowl is no longer warm to the touch on the outside. As soon as that happens, you swap out the whisk attachment and move to the paddle as you've incorporated plenty of air into the eggs at this point.
Butter is added slowly, a tablespoon at a time, until all of it has been tossed in. It may look a odd when the butter goes in - almost curdled and sloppy, but this is just how it works. As you continue mixing, the butter will emulsify into the airy whites and it will gradually transform in front of your eyes into a smooth frosting. To slip the coffee flavor in, we combined strong espresso powder into a few tablespoons of prepared coffee and added that into the frosting a tablespoon at a time. It will look messy again, but it absorbs quickly and you'll see just how shiny and spreadable the frosting becomes. Jeff did plenty of quality control checks at this point - he was surprised with just how light, yet rich, buttery and not tooth-achingly sweet this type of frosting is! The coffee is directly up front, but it was also not bitter or overwhelming.
Assembly of this cake doesn't get any easier - all we had to do was scoop the generous, silky buttercream on top of one crunchy meringue and top it off with the other! If you assemble the cake a day or so ahead of time and let it sit in the refrigerator, the meringue softens ever-so-slightly - this makes slicing this delicate treat easier, yet the meringue retains a satisfying bite. I was wondering if the flavor in the meringue would just disappear into its buttercream center, but those tiny pecan nuggets studded throughout gave the layers enough strength to hold their own. Different, I agree... but what a spectacular way to celebrate with a little decadence minus the guilt!

Newlyweds take vows at hockey rink
The Jackson Sun
MUSKEGON, Mich. (AP) — The bride wore white — and stainless steel.
Ben and Courtney Sikkenga were married Saturday at a western Michigan ice rink where they first met in seventh grade.
Ben is a 23-year-old lifelong hockey player, and 24-year-old Courtney is his biggest fan. The Muskegon Chronicle (http://bit.ly/1tHQli7 ) says groomsmen and bridesmaids got dressed in locker rooms at Lakeshore Sports Centre before skating on the ice.
Guests had the option of sitting in chairs on the ice or on benches behind the protective glass.
The newlyweds left the rink by walking under raised hockey sticks.

Sleeping In on the Weekends Could Actually Ruin Your Work Week
For some people, the weekend is spent trying to catch up on all the sleep they deprived themselves of throughout the course of the last week. Yet, while sleeping in can be somewhat of a godsend, new research finds that it might actually make you more tired throughout the week.
The reason for this? Researchers say that when people attempt to catch up on sleep over the weekend, all they are really doing is disrupting their body's internal clock, making it more difficult for them to climb out of bed when Monday morning finally rolls around.
"A great myth of sleep deprivation is that if we miss sleep over the course of the work week, we need to catch up on an hour-by-hour basis on the weekend," said lead author Dr. Gregory Carter, a sleep medicine specialist at UT Southwestern Medical Center.
Study experts explain that sleeping in on weekends tampers with the daily cycles of the brain's circadian clock, which can result in it being more difficult to get to sleep on Sunday night and excruciating to hear that alarm go off on Monday morning.
Carter advises that going to bed earlier is actually a better way to battle sleep deprivation than trying to do it by sleeping in, maintaining that any amount of sleep deprivation can be relieved by getting a solid eight hours of rest.
He says that keeping the internal clock in check is important. "To maintain our internal clock, we need to go to bed eight hours before our usual time for getting out of bed in the morning," said Carter.
Carter adds that staying up late on Friday and Saturday nights and sleeping in on Saturday and Sunday mornings, mixed liberally with things like alcohol and late night web surfing, has a way of making for one heck of a miserable Monday.

Editorial: At last, a smart move from House Republicans
On Wednesday the GOP-led House voted 285-144, with all but 33 Republicans on board, to extend the debt ceiling another three months without spending concessions, postponing their confrontation with a president itching for a fight to May. They've wised up.
It buys time for House Republicans to try to reclaim the momentum lost from President Barack Obama's re-election and inauguration and come up with a more winning strategy to coax some desperately needed spending discipline out of Democrats. You had to figure that the rational Republicans would prevail, though they will forgive those Americans who wondered if they were a suicidal lot, willing to toss in the towel on the 2014 midterm elections right now.
Indeed, risking default and the full faith and credit of the United States, another recession and the ire of unpaid Social Security recipients and soldiers, to give themselves political leverage in a budget battle was the very definition of a self-defeating situation, for which Republicans would have taken the brunt of the blame. They pushed the envelope on that last summer, earning Uncle Sam a credit rating downgrade from Standard & Poor's and nearly a 6 percent drop in the Dow Jones in a single day.
Business leaders and the Wall Street Journal editorial page alike recognized the folly of repeating that mistake, urging the GOP to come to its senses, in some cases even encouraging Congress to get rid of its uncommon debt ceiling provision altogether. It only provided the ammunition for Obama to go on the offensive and paint the party as a bunch of blackmailing extremists, as he did earlier this month in saying "they will not collect a ransom in exchange for not crashing the American economy."
In short, the nation has an obligation to pay its bills. It is neither fiscally responsible nor fiscally conservative to suggest otherwise. The American people recognized that, and finally, so did Capitol Hill Republicans.
Oh, Republicans are not wrong to be alarmed by a $16.4 trillion debt, particulary its growth as a percentage of GDP. Nor are they wrong to call out Senate Democrats for not passing a formal budget for three consecutive years, which is both unprecedented and practically scandalous in its dereliction of duty. Indeed, one part of this debt ceiling extension bill would withhold lawmaker paychecks if there's no budget adopted by April 15, which may not be constitutional but is bound to be popular.
Ultimately there are just better ways, better tools, for the GOP to get its message across than messing with the debt ceiling, which has been raised more than 90 times since 1940 - 18 times under Ronald Reagan, seven times under George W. Bush, with only President Harry Truman not going along - with nary a peep of protest from them. Until recently it had never been tied, like a millstone, to budget deliberations. That said, Republicans are not the only hypocrites here. In fact Obama, as a U.S. senator in 2006, joined every other Democrat in that chamber in voting no on what he now proposes, saying at the time that "the fact that we are here today to debate raising America's debt limit is a sign of leadership failure." What's he see when he looks in the mirror now?
Ultimately, the Democrats' advocacy for unchecked spending is not fiscally responsible, either. Obama is being contradictory and disingenuous when he says, as he did in his inaugural address, that "we must make the hard choices to reduce the cost of health care and the size of our deficit. But we reject the belief that America must choose between caring for the generation that built this country and investing in the generation that will build its future."
In fact governing is all about choosing. The president also sets up a false dichotomy in arguing that the only way to address the deficits is to effectively kill the likes of Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. To the contrary, reining in the excessive red ink, even if it means tightening some belts in the present, is the best way to ensure those programs will still be around for the long term. From this vantage the White House would be far savvier to take this weapon out of the Republican arsenal by proposing spending cuts of its own. To leave that duty to some other president and administration down the road, which is what Obama seems to be proposing ... well, that's not leadership.
By the same token, House Republicans serious about sparing future generations should remove the words "debt ceiling" from their vocabularies once and for all and act quickly instead to pass bills that attempt to do what they talk about - reduce spending, going not just after the Democrats' pet programs but their own, defense among them. That would put pressure on the Senate and ostensibly force its members, specifically in its Democratic majority, to defend their ongoing disregard for their own children and grandchildren.
Wednesday's House vote doesn't actually buy anyone three months, of course, with budget confrontations and deadlines in March over automatic cuts to defense and discretionary domestic programs and a halt to continued financing of government operations. Wouldn't it be something if all involved came down with a sudden bout of maturity and fiscal sanity? Don't hold your breath.

I like the casual nature of the custom maps in Star Craft 2 . Perfect to fit in before/after raid times.
The Nexus War is one of my favorites, a 4v4 Map, 4 people on each end of the map, and a Nexus base to protect. The map is also divided into two 'roads' and depending on what side of the Nexus you build on, your units will run down that side of the 'road.' The idea is to have two on each road so the forces are even.
You start with 100 minerals and limited build choices between Terran, Zerg, and Proton, you can build 2 x Zerglings or 2 x Marines or 1 times a better unit. You have to build quick. Get your units on the ground and in the build cycle as soon as you can.
There is a tech progression you must follow, eg build Halions, before you can build a thor or a medivac, and so on. The units you build earn you an income which gets paid to you in minerals every 2o secs , and kills get you minerals too. It is slow going in the beginning but you can be over run rather quickly.
Once you build the units you cannot control them. They run in a straight line down the path. Their aim is to kill the Nexus which is found at the opposite side of the map, the idea is to overwhelm the 'enemy' side with units, and your mindless drones will eventually start hitting the nexus.
Each player gets one nuke to use. This is best used defending your base, or your side of the map if they are getting over run. Don't bother nuking the enemy base. You can also build proton stationary cannons to protect your base, but they are 150 minerals each – so only build if you them if you have the spare minerals and are in need. They get targeted before your Bases though so it could be a complete waste.
You don't need to build all Terran, all Zerg and so on, you can mix your units up, and I traditionally build about 4 or 5 marines, a suicide bug one ( can't remember the name) because they splash acid and clean up pesky marines quite easily if they get to touch them) a proton force field flying unit to buy my marines some time, one Halion (because I have to to get to my Medivacs and Tanks) one Medivac, then tank, tank, tank tank, and some air units if the game goes on long enough and a thor if I have the spare minerals.
In early games I made the mistake of sending my units one at a time as they were built – this is bad. Some players will build 10 x marines only, and that strat is only affective if you can get your 10 in sync.
If you delay the building cycle too long, you miss out on kills, thus resources, but delaying all builds so all your 10 marines come out at once. Your going to smash the single units that your opponents are dribbling out – if you can get your 1st two in Synch by building them at the same time when you start. It's quite easy to get any further ones you build in Sync by delaying the build on your new unit until the other ones have spewed out their units. That way they start their build rotation together, and your not losing valuable time.
You can also synch them by double clicking on the units of the same type, and canceling the builds until they all start the cycle together.
I don't like the 10 x marines, you have the option to upgrade them by 15 health points, but that costs 150 minerals and I can make a tank for that. They are good foot soldiers, but heavier artillery will help you win.
The biggest weakness, is like most of these custom games, is you are relying on people to do their job, and there is little explanation on how to play offered at the start, and 30 secs to game start( which is a little too long – as we lose people every now and then. )
If one side is weak, or doesn't know what they are doing, there is only so much covering you can do and instruction to offer. I tried with one player over two games to help him, but he kept saving up his minerals to make one higher unit, and therefore missed out on kills, and more resources, and made one of our roads weak. A fair, and a exciting game is 4v4. However when one goes Afk – and stops building more units/leaves game. Then the units can become unbalanced, and it becomes harder. Not saying a 3 people team can't win – but it means you need to start helping out the other side more by building units on their road side.
You can tell how bad/good the other side of your team is going by the tide of unit dots making their way. You can see if they are getting pushed back, and might need you to use your nuke, or build some units to help them out.
I love it. It's usually the top game/2nd top game on the Custom map list. I got a little frustrated in the beginning that I couldn't control them. They are mindless minions, but that's part of the challenge, and the design of the game.
When it gets out of hand..

Phyllis Theroux writes about what her father gave her in the essay, "My Father, the Prince" in Peripheral Visions (Morrow, 1982):
"There are some people, and my father is one of them, who carry the flint that lights other people's torches. They get them all excited about the possibilities of an idea, the 'can-do' potential of one's own being.
"That was my father's gift to me, and whatever psychic wounds remain to thrashed out between us are still lying on the floor of my unconscious, waiting for deep therapy to uncover. The fact is I am closer to my mother. But they say that a daughter carries around the infection of her father for life.
"They are right."

Assisted suicide on legal agenda in many states
February 9, 2013
By SUSAN HAIGH
(HARTFORD, Conn., AP) – A push for the legalization of physician-assisted suicide is under way in a half-dozen states where proponents say they see strong support for allowing doctors to prescribe mentally competent, dying individuals with the medications needed to end their own lives.
The large number of baby boomers facing end-of-life issues themselves has made the issue more prominent in recent years. Groups such as Compassion & Choices, a national end-of-life advocacy organization, have been working to advance the cause.
Advocates received a boost from last year's ballot question in Massachusetts on whether to allow physicians to help the terminally ill die. Although the vote failed, it helped to spark a national discussion, said Mickey MacIntyre, chief program officer for Compassion & Choices.
"The Massachusetts initiative lifted the consciousness of the nation and in particular the Northeast region to this issue that there are other alternatives patients and their families should have an opportunity to access," MacIntyre said.
Bills legalizing assisted suicide are being considered in Connecticut, Vermont, New Jersey, Kansas, Hawaii and Massachusetts, where proponents decided to resume their efforts after the public vote. There are also bills related to the issue under consideration in New Hampshire, New York, Arizona and Montana.
In Connecticut, which has banned the practice since 1969, a group of lawmakers said Tuesday that the legislature's first public hearing on the subject would probably be held this month. At least two bills on the issue have so far been proposed in this year's session of the Connecticut legislature.
If the General Assembly votes to legalize the practice, it would be the first state legislature to do so.
Oregon and Washington have passed right-to-die laws, but they did so through voter referendums. Montana's Supreme Court has ruled that the practice of physicians helping terminally ill patients could be considered part of medical treatments. Thirty-four states prohibit assisted suicide outright. Seven others, including Massachusetts, banned it through legal precedent.
Opponents claim the initiatives in Connecticut are being pushed only by outside groups like Compassion & Choices.
"There's no grass-roots cry for assisted suicide in the state of Connecticut," said Peter Wolfgang, executive director of the socially conservative Family Institute. "This is mostly an out-of-state organization that has targeted the state of Connecticut. They look at the Northeast and think this is low-hanging fruit: 'We can conduct our social experiments here in the Northeastern United States.'"
In fact, one bill has been filed in Connecticut this year that would establish a mandatory minimum prison term for someone charged with second-degree manslaughter after assisting another person with committing suicide.
Cathy Ludlum, a disabled-rights activist from Manchester, Conn., who has spinal muscular atrophy, said she worries the issue of doctor-assisted suicide will not go away soon.
"Until people are really educated about the issues, it's going to keep coming up, even if it's defeated this time," she said, adding how she wants lawmakers to focus more on "giving people a good life than giving people a good death."
A measure dubbed "end of life choices" recently sped through the Vermont Senate Health and Welfare Committee but is expected to face a bumpier ride in the Judiciary Committee. In New Jersey, a bill that would allow doctors to prescribe lethal doses of medication for terminally ill patients wishing to take their own lives cleared an Assembly committee Thursday. That legislation would ultimately be subject to voter approval.
Last November, voters in Massachusetts narrowly defeated a measure legalizing physician-assisted suicide for the terminally ill. Supporters of the concept said they hoped the debate would continue and marked the beginning of a conversation to improve end-of-life care.
In Connecticut, Dr. Gary Blick, a Norwalk physician who specializes in treating patients with HIV and AIDS, said he believes the time is right for state lawmakers to push ahead with this issue. In 2009, he and Dr. Ron Levine, of Greenwich, along with end-of-life advocates, sued to seek a clarification of the state's decades-old ban on assisted suicide, citing concerns about Connecticut doctors being prosecuted for giving medications to their dying patients.
A judge ultimately dismissed the suit, saying it was a matter for the legislature to decide.
The 1969 Connecticut law states that a person who "intentionally causes or aids another person, other than by force, duress or deception, to commit suicide" is guilty of second-degree manslaughter.
Blick said not all dying patients will want the ability to take their own life, but he said they should be given the choice.
"This is not for everybody. We do realize there are people that do not believe in this for religious beliefs, and I respect that. There are no issues over that," he said. "But there are those subsets of people that do not want to go through the suffering that they have to go through."
