"You must do the things you think you cannot do."  

Ingredients:

2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts (about 10 ounces each)  1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 15-ounce can tomato puree
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh basil
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
3 large eggs
1 1/4 cups grated mozzarella cheese (about 6 ounces)

Directions:

1. Slice the chicken breasts in half horizontally to make 4 thin cutlets. Put between 2 pieces of plastic wrap and pound with a meat mallet or heavy skillet until 1/4 inch thick.

2. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium pot over medium heat. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring, until the garlic softens, about 1 minute. Add the tomato puree, then rinse out the can with 1 cup water and add to the pot. Simmer until the sauce just thickens, about 10 minutes. Whisk in 1/4 cup parmesan and the basil. Spread 1/2 cup of the sauce in a 3-quart baking dish. Preheat the broiler.

3. Meanwhile, combine the flour and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a shallow dish. Beat the eggs with 1/4 cup parmesan in another shallow dish. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Dredge 2 chicken cutlets in the flour, tapping off the excess, then dip in the egg mixture. Carefully lay in the skillet and fry until golden brown and just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to the baking dish. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil to the skillet and repeat with the remaining 2 chicken cutlets. Add to the baking dish.

4. Combine the mozzarella and the remaining 2 tablespoons parmesan in a bowl. Sprinkle half of the cheese mixture on the chicken, then top with the remaining sauce and the remaining cheese mixture. Broil until the cheese melts, about 2 minutes.

• If you sell your home at a gain, you may be able to exclude part or all of the profit from your income. This rule generally applies if you've owned and used the property as your main home for at least two out of the five years before the date of sale.
• You normally can exclude up to $250,000 of the gain from your income ($500,000 on a joint return). This excluded gain is also not subject to the new Net Investment Income Tax, which is effective in 2013.
• If you can exclude all of the gain, you probably don't need to report the sale of your home on your tax return.

Analyze Club Trajectory

Each of your 14 clubs is a different tool designed to help you achieve a lower score, but many golfers don't know how high or far each club will send the ball. The next time you're unsure, try this exercise with an iron or wedge:

Step on the clubface to see the angle created by the shaft. If you make solid contact with the ball, it will take off at this trajectory. Compare several of your irons this way and note that the shot that goes higher will go shorter, and the club that sends a ball lower will carry farther. Tip from Golf Digest 

Research has found that playing video games may help older people reverse some of the effects of age-related decline in memory and focus. After four weeks of training, some of the study participants in their 80s beat untrained 20-year-olds! It might be time to borrow that video game and get to work.
