Asset Protection Lawyer: The New Asset Protection Strategy in Divorce Cases
An asset protection trust offers a perfect solution for holding certain assets (life insurance policies, cash investments, real property, etc) for a specific beneficiary, which can be a group or a single person. There are several different advantages to transferring the personal belongings into a trust. Here are several of the key advantages that might be worth considering:
Protection from fees related to care homes - If an elderly relative needs to go into a long-term residential home, it is often the case that the associated costs will need to be personally met. A common way for the local authorities to receive funds for the long-term care is to essentially inherit the assets, with your main asset relating to the home.
By taking the action at an early stage that is well ahead of requiring any potential care assistant, you are able to protect the home and make certain the full benefit of the property is passed on to the chosen family members.
A highly effective solution for solving matters relating to inheritance - An asset protection trust can make it easier to transfer the belongings in the event of death (due to no transfer of ownership), and makes sure the assets are given to the persons identified at the time of writing the will. If the family circumstances are quiet involved where step-children might feature or where a marriage has broken down, you will likely find that using a trust can make the process go that much smoothly.
Helps to protect the inheritance from creditors - In a situation where a beneficiary of a Will is expensive financial difficulties with debts, any money that is automatically transfer via the information given in a Will could be seized from them by the creditors seeking to recover outstanding debts. But, since any assets transferred to a trust will remain part of the trust even after death, they aren't collectible by the creditors and will remain the full property of the beneficiaries.
Making certain those in need are given the right help - A further quality aspect to relying on the asset protection trust companies is to help those beneficiaries that might not be able to manage on their own. Whether this might relate to someone who often makes poor decisions or physically impaired, a trust is able to give specific guidance on how the benefit is passed to an individual to make certain they are cared for and provided long-term security.

Fuji Bikes is proud to sponsor 4-time U.S. National Cyclocross Champion Jonathan Page, so we got in touch for a few quick questions before he represents the United States once again at the UCI Cyclo-cross World Championships in Hoogerheide, the Netherlands. Jonathan Page has had an illustrious 'cross racing career, including a 2007 CX Worlds silver medal, in addition to his 4 U.S. titles and numerous top placings in Europe – last year he raced on the Altamira CX 1.0 cyclocross bike, and this year he's upgraded to the top end 1.1 model. The 37-year-old is based in Belgium – he's the only American man to race full time in the rough and tumble of European cyclocross, battling for respect every week. He writes a great blog on CyclingNews that details his ongoing adventures, but read on below for 9 quick questions from this American cyclocross superstar:
How did you get started racing cyclocross?
I started racing because my best friend growing up raced 'cross.
Why do you race cyclocross in Europe full time?
I wanted to race against the best in the world, so I came to Belgium.
What's the best part and the hardest part of being a pro cyclist?
Best part is getting to be outside. Worst part is that it is 24 hours a day.
What was your favorite or best race this season and why?
Bredene, because I was able to battle for 6th place even with broken ribs.
Who's the most important person on your race support team?
Everyone on my support team is really important to me. Without my family, friend and mechanic Franky, sponsors, and supporters, I wouldn't be doing this.
Does your family travel with you during the season?
This year, much less than I would have liked. But they are with me now, on my way to the Nommay World Cup in France, so that's great!
What's the biggest mistake that you see amateur cyclists make when they train and what's your best advice for them?
I don't think there is a cover-all answer for the mistake part of this question. My best advice is just to have fun!
If you could ride your bike anywhere in the world, where would you go?
Right now, anywhere sunny would be great, as it hasn't stopped raining since I got back from the USA. But I think my favorite place to ride is in the Swiss Alps, with cows bells ringing all around me.
What do you have in your pocket when you go for a training ride?
I keep it simple – only my phone and a Clif Mojo Bar or 2.

Ten wealthy Pennsylvanians, including a husband supporting his wife for political office and a gay man seeking equality, contributed nearly $9 million to their favorite candidates and issues since 2011.
PublicSource, working with the Investigative News Network, identified the 10 biggest campaign contributors in the state using state and federal campaign databases.
In Pennsylvania, those numbers can lag by months because they are received as written reports and entered by hand. Most states receive reports of campaign contributions electronically.
For national campaigns, several of the political patrons still contribute the maximum-allowable $5,000 directly to candidates for the presidency, U.S. Senate and Congress. But now they can also write checks for as much as $1 million to Super PACs, the political action committees that can spend unlimited funds for political campaigns, as long as they don�t coordinate the spending with the candidates.
Pennsylvania campaign finance laws are even less restrictive. Unlike residents of most states, individuals here may contribute as much as they like directly to state candidates. That might explain why the top 10 spent more on state politics than national, by 55 percent to 45 percent.
So who are these people and what are they trying to accomplish?
The majority support Republican or conservative candidates and causes. Several founded their own businesses. Two inherited great wealth. Some are philanthropists.
Beyond that, one must examine their particular contributions to glimpse their motivation.
The state�s most generous contributor, for example, is Christopher Kane, 49, of Clarks Summit. The trucking, warehouse and logistics executive spent $2.25 million supporting the political ambitions of his wife, Kathleen Kane, who is running as a Democrat for State Attorney General.
Real estate investor Mel Heifetz of Philadelphia had one issue in mind, gay rights. He gave $1 million to Priorities USA Action, a Super PAC that backs President Obama�s re-election.
�I�m a gay man and I support gay causes. This election is very important to my community,� Heifetz, 77, said in a phone interview from his vacation home in Miami Beach.
All 10 of the top political contributors are men.
But just outside of the top tier are three power couples � husbands and wives whose contributions, if combined, would have moved them into the top 10 list.
Donald and Susan Simms of Gibsonia donated to Republicans, Joseph and Marie Field of Bala Cynwyd, and David and Rhonda Cohen of Philadelphia gave primarily to Democrats. All three couples focused on national Senate and Congressional races.
The top 10 givers and the power couples gave $5.5 million to Republicans and $4.2 million to Democrats, for a total of $9.7 million.
Most are from the eastern part of the state. Only one, Richard Mellon Scaife, is from Pittsburgh.
Scaife, the owner of Trib Total Media, is an heir to the Mellon banking and industrial fortune, with an estimated net worth of $1.3 billion, according to Forbes magazine, which lists the richest Americans each year. He is known for supporting conservative and libertarian causes, and this year he is funding pro-Mitt Romney committees.
�Mr. Scaife�s political contributions are made out of a sense of patriotism and to exercise his influence over the democratic process,� his lawyer, Yale Gutnick said. �Those ideals are primarily less government intrusion into private lives, a vigorous protection of the First Amendment, the separation of church and state, and a woman�s right to control her own health and destiny.�
Republican and conservative causes received 55 percent of the donations from the top 10 givers and were backed by seven of them. Democrat and liberal donations totaled 41 percent. Nonpartisan or uncategorized donations were 3 percent.
For instance, healthcare executive Rocco Ortenzio, 79, expressed his presidential preference by giving $750,000 to Restore Our Future, a Super PAC that spent $40 million working against Romney rivals Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich and at least $43 million against President Obama.
Easy state campaign financing laws may have helped state and local party organizations and single-issue causes.
Christian conservative Dr. Jack Templeton Jr., head of the John Templeton Foundation, gave $780,000 to the Republican State Committee of Pennsylvania. Charter school management executive Vahan Gureghian gave $132,035 to the Montgomery County Republican Committee and $110,000 to the Republic Committee of Lower Merion and Narberth.
Joel Greenberg and Arthur Dantchik are partners in Susquehanna International Group, which has used lessons from poker to build a successful broker-dealer firm. The two men spent $446,000 on groups that support vouchers for private schools such as charter schools. In 2010 their Students First political action committee contributed $4.9 million to pro-voucher gubernatorial candidate Anthony Williams, who lost in the Democratic primary election.
The megaphone
Barry Kauffman is executive director of Common Cause Pennsylvania, an organization that supports limits on campaign contributions.
�The people who make those kinds of investments in politics and government do so with anticipated outcomes in mind,� Kauffman said.
Those large donations are like a blasting megaphone that drowns out �the voices of many other people,� he said. �When you are drowning out voices, you are harming public discourse and, at the end of the day, biasing the decision-making process.�
He was speaking in general about large contributors and not about any particular donor.
Public officials will deny that they are influenced by campaign contributions, he said, but they readily admit that money means access. At the crucial moments in the political process, when votes are being considered and regulations are being written, Kauffman said, access wins the day.
Public officials also must spend free time currying favor with potential contributors rather than on research or talking with people about the issues they will have to vote on one day. �That diminishes the role of regular citizens,� he said.
Public debate also is inhibited by antiquated state practices, said Terry Madonna, director of the Center for Politics and Public Affairs at Franklin and Marshall College. Most states require political committees to file reports electronically. Not Pennsylvania. As a result, reports are compiled manually and the source of a candidate�s financing is often unknown until after the elections.
He called for a comprehensive review of campaign finance laws and procedures to ensure more accurate and more timely reporting of campaign finances.
�If you know who is giving what, you can have a debate over what it means.�
The case for the free flow of funds to campaigns was made by the U.S. Supreme Court in its landmark Citizens United ruling in 2010. Previously, corporations and unions were prohibited from using their funds for �electioneering communications� for several weeks before elections. The court ruled that corporations and unions are associations of individuals, therefore they have the right to free speech under the First Amendment.
The Citizens United decision led to the creation of Super PACs.

Striking journalists, intellectuals' petitioning, and street protest pose major headache for Xi
[Tuesday, January 08, 2013 12:53]

DHARAMSHALA, January 8: A rare confluence of striking journalists against overbearing governmental censorship, petitioning by intellectuals, and street protests by commoners in support of free media threatens to snowball into the first full-blown political crisis for China's new set of leaders.
On Monday, hundreds of people in Guangzhou , capital of Guangdong province, gathered outside the offices of Southern Weekend, a popular reform-minded newspaper and staged a peaceful demonstration against media censorship.
Protesters, including middle school students and white-collar workers, laid flowers at the gate, held signs and shout slogans calling for freedom of speech, political reform, constitutional governance and democracy.
This after about 100 editorial staff members of the Southern Weekend went on strike protesting governmental censorship, saying the newspaper is under pressure from authorities. Several reporters and editors at the newspaper said they would not return to work until the issue was resolved.
The row was sparked last week when the southern province's top censor changed the paper's New Year's editorial calling for political reform and for guaranteed constitutional rights into a floral tribute praising the ruling Communist Party.
In response, the newspaper's staff wrote two letters calling for the resignation of Guangdong propaganda chief Tuo Zhen, accusing him of being "dictatorial" in an era of "growing openness".
All Chinese media are supervised by so-called propaganda departments that often change content to align it with party thinking.
The newspaper also received support from a group of Chinese academics, who signed an open letter calling for Tuo's dismissal. The scholars included legal professors, liberal economists, historians and writers.
Within China's strictly guarded propaganda apparatus, Southern Weekly, with 1.6m circulation, is seen as "influential and daring" and known for its "unrivalled pursuit of top-level investigative journalism." The newspaper has been in trouble with government censors in the past as well.
Following the row, posts deemed to contain sensitive words such as the name of the paper or Tuo Zhen have been actively deleted.
A Chinese foreign ministry spokeswoman when asked about the Southern Weekly issue last week at a regular press briefing said that there is "no so-called news censorship in China."
However, observes see this case as a major political challenge to China's Communist Party's newly elected leaders.
BBC argues that if the Southern Weekly strike continues for any length of time, this scandal will "create a major headache for China's new leader, Xi Jinping."
"Since he took the reins of power in Beijing, Mr Xi has generated kudos for his seemingly laid-back, open style of leadership. But the Southern Weekly uproar will force him to reveal his hand when it comes to censorship," BBC notes. "If Mr Xi allows Southern Weekly's special status to be wiped away, he risks tarnishing his carefully cultivated reputation as a humble man of the people."
Exile Tibetan spiritual leader His Holiness the Dalai Lama, in a recent interview with a major Indian news channel had called censorship in China "immoral."
"Now these days, I always keep mentioning when I meet some Chinese people that 1.3 billion Chinese people have every right to know the reality and once they know the reality they also have the ability to judge what is right and what is wrong," the Dalai Lama said. "Therefore, censorship is immoral - fooling their own people - let them know whether it is good or bad, let them judge. That's very important."

Occupation Manager of special events at the Institute of Contemporary Art
Residence Somerville
Do you feel like the ICA has helped define the landscape of the neighborhood?
Definitely. This area is young and up-and-coming. I think that people who come to our parties dress really well. It's Boston, so people dress very classically, with a twist. It's not too out there. It's never too out there, but it's always fashion forward. That's how I see myself as well.
Where does your style come from?
I'm a cross between my grandmother and my mom. I love to go shopping with my mom, and I do a lot of shopping out of her closet. My grandmother was a dressmaker and a seamstress. She taught my mom everything there is about the importance of tailoring and how a great fit makes everything look the best it can be. My mom dresses very classically; she likes everything very contemporary with clean lines. My grandmother always liked things a little bit wilder. I'm definitely a combination of the two of them. — C.M.Interview has been condensed and edited. E-mail comments to firstname.lastname@example.com.

In the past year, in connection with the overall growth in production, new ranks of women workers have flowed into the Bolshevik factory. At the present time, women make up 26.2 percent of all workers at the factory.
A large share of the newly entered women workers are the wives of workers who had already been working at the plant. As a result, the status of mass cultural and political educational work among these workers has clear significance.
At the Bolshevik factory, 79 percent of women workers are shock workers. But the Party stratum among women workers is only 9.2 percent, whereas it has reached 30 percent among all workers at the factory. This clearly indicates that recruitment among women workers is insufficient.
The promotion of women into more qualified jobs and the training of women to take the place of mens labor within certain limits has been unsatisfactory within this factory. Many older women workers, who have worked for a long time at the factory, have been assigned to work not requiring qualifications and thus have not progressed any further. For example, at jobs near the presses, near the finishing machines, or involving work as planers, the number of women workers can be counted on a single hand. Yet a large share of women workers are assigned to unskilled labor not requiring any qualifications.
It is sufficient to note that not a single woman worker can be found among the staff of master workers, despite the presence of a number of women workers who have already worked many years in factory, have sufficient qualifications, and could be assigned to this work.
Because of the shortage of master workers, it happens that when the master worker of a particular section or workshop has to be away for several days, no one is available to take his place. Yet if the desire were there, it would not be difficult to train a couple of women to become master workers. It would also be possible to train a large number of women workers for other kinds of qualified positions.
The situation is no better regarding the development of mass work among women workers. It is true that 14 percent of women workers received various kinds of awards for their shock work. A group made up of activist women workers is coming together. But inadequate efforts among women workers has meant that only 2 percent participating in rationalization measures. The percent of women workers in all kinds of public organizations is lower than the percent of men workers.
The weakness of work among women workers is explained by the absence of personal responsibility in this area. Womens organizers change frequently, and as a result this work is quite unsatisfactory.

Source-Route Bridging
From DocWiki
The source-route bridging (SRB) algorithm was developed by IBM and was proposed to the IEEE 802.5 committee as the means to bridge between all LANs. Since its initial proposal, IBM has offered a new bridging standard to the IEEE 802 committee: the source-route transparent (SRT) bridging solution. SRT bridging eliminates pure SRBs, proposing that the two types of LAN bridges be transparent bridges and SRT bridges. Although SRT bridging has achieved support, SRBs are still widely deployed. This article summarizes the basic SRB frame-forwarding algorithm and describes SRB frame fields.
SRB Algorithm
SRBs are so named because they assume that the complete source-to-destination route is placed in all inter-LAN frames sent by the source. SRBs store and forward the frames as indicated by the route appearing in the appropriate frame field.
In the following figure, assume that Host X wants to send a frame to Host Y. Initially, Host X does not know whether Host Y resides on the same LAN or a different LAN. To determine this, Host X sends out a test frame. If that frame returns to Host X without a positive indication that Host Y has seen it, Host X assumes that Host Y is on a remote segment.
Figure: An SRB Network Contains LANs and Bridges illustrates a sample SRB network.
Figure: An SRB Network Contains LANs and Bridges
To determine the exact remote location of Host Y, Host X sends an explorer frame. Each bridge receiving the explorer frame (Bridges 1 and 2, in this example) copies the frame onto all outbound ports. Route information is added to the explorer frames as they travel through the internetwork. When Host X's explorer frames reach Host Y, Host Y replies to each individually, using the accumulated route information. Upon receipt of all response frames, Host X chooses a path based on some predetermined criteria.
In the example in Figure 25-1, this process will yield two routes:
- LAN 1 to Bridge 1 to LAN 3 to Bridge 3 to LAN 2
- LAN 1 to Bridge 2 to LAN 4 to Bridge 4 to LAN 2
Host X must select one of these two routes. The IEEE 802.5 specification does not mandate the criteria that Host X should use in choosing a route, but it does make several suggestions, including the following:
- First frame received
- Response with the minimum number of hops
- Response with the largest allowed frame size
- Various combinations of the preceding criteria
In most cases, the path contained in the first frame received is used.
After a route is selected, it is inserted into frames destined for Host Y in the form of a routing information field (RIF). A RIF is included only in those frames destined for other LANs. The presence of routing information within the frame is indicated by setting the most significant bit within the Source Address field, called the routing information indicator (RII) bit.
Frame Format
The IEEE 802.5 RIF is structured as shown in Figure: An IEEE 802.5 RIF Is Present in Frames Destined for Other LANs.
The RIF illustrated in the following figure consists of two main fields: Routing Control and Routing Designator. These fields are described in the summaries that follow.
Figure: An IEEE 802.5 RIF Is Present in Frames Destined for Other LANs
Routing Control Field
The Routing Control field consists of four subfields: Type, Length, D Bit, and Largest Frame. The fields are summarized in the following list:
- Type - Consists of three possible types of routing controls:
- Specifically routed - Used when the source node supplies the route in the RIF header. The bridges route the frame by using the route designator field(s).
- All paths explorer - Used to find a remote node. The route is collected as the frame traverses the network. Bridges add to the frame their bridge number and the ring number onto which the frame is forwarded. (The first bridge also adds the ring number of the first ring.) The target destination will receive as many frames as routes to that destination.
- Spanning-tree explorer - Used to find a remote node. Only bridges in the spanning tree forward the frame, adding their bridge number and attached ring number as it is forwarded. The spanning-tree explorer reduces the number of frames sent during the discovery process.
- Length - Indicates the total length (in bytes) of the RIF. The value can range from 2 to 30 bytes.
- D Bit - Indicates and controls the direction (forward or reverse) that the frame traverses. The D bit affects whether bridges read the ring number/bridge number combinations in the route designators from right to left (forward) or from left to right (reverse).
- Largest Frame - Indicates the largest frame size that can be handled along a designated route. The source initially sets the largest frame size, but bridges can lower it if they cannot accommodate the requested size.
Routing Designator Fields
Each routing designator field consists of two subfields:
- Ring Number (12 bits) - Assigns a value that must be unique within the bridged network.
- Bridge Number (4 bits) - Assigns a value that follows the ring number. This number does not have to be unique unless it is parallel with another bridge connecting two rings.
Bridges add to the frame their bridge number and the ring number onto which the frame is forwarded. (The first bridge also adds the ring number of the first ring.)
Routes are alternating sequences of ring and bridge numbers that start and end with ring numbers. A single RIF can contain more than one routing designator field. The IEEE specifies a maximum of 14 routing designator fields (a maximum of 13 bridges or hops because the last bridge number always equals zero).
Until recently, IBM specified a maximum of eight routing designator fields (a maximum of seven bridges or hops), and most bridge manufacturers followed IBM's implementation. Newer IBM bridge software programs combined with new LAN adapters support 13 hops.
Review Questions
Q - Describe a basic difference between transparent bridges and source-route bridges relative to the forwarding processes.
A - In a transparent bridged environment, bridges determine whether a frame needs to be forwarded, and through what path based upon local bridge tables. In an SRB network, the source device prescribes the route to the destination and indicates the desired path in the RIF.
Q - Recall that the SRB standards do not specify how a source selects a path to the destination whenever multiple choices exist. The article listed four methods that a source could use to make the decision and said that the first received frame (path) was the most commonly used method. What assumptions might the source make about the network when using this method?
A - The source may assume that the frame arrived first because of more bandwidth on the links, less congestion in the system, and less latency in the bridge equipment. Therefore, this may be a preferred route over the other choices.
Q - How do stations and bridges know if there is a source route defined in the frame?
A - By the value of the RII bit. The RII is set if there is a RIF included in the frame.
Q - What problems might you anticipate in a large SRB network with many alternate paths?
A - With this network topology, many explorer frames may propagate throughout the network. Because explorers are broadcast frames, they consume bandwidth throughout the entire broadcast domain and consume CPU cycles within end stations.
Q - Because only 4 bits are used to define bridge numbers, does this mean that there can be only 16 bridges (24=16)? Why or why not?
A - No. This means only that there can be no more than 16 bridges in parallel between the same two adjacent rings.
Q - Can you have a large number of bridges attached to a central ring, all with the same bridge value?
A - Yes, as long as none of the bridges directly interconnects the same two rings.
Q - A 12-bit value defines ring numbers. Can you have more than 4096 rings in the network (212=4096)? Why or why not?
A - No, you cannot, because this value defines the total number of rings. Each ring number must be unique in the network.

Perhaps the Campolindo High girls volleyball team should be used to playing for state titles, but the Cougars didn't act like it Tuesday night.
After an attempt by Valley Christian-San Jose to keep the match alive sailed wide, the host Cougars broke into wild celebration as they won yet another CIF Northern California championship with 20-25, 25-22, 25-23, 27-25 victory.
Campolindo will be seeking its third Division III state championship Saturday at 3 p.m. when it faces Cathedral Catholic-San Diego in the state title match at Concordia University in Irvine.
"These girls work hard and take nothing for granted," Campolindo coach John Vuong said. "I knew at the beginning of the year, we had a good team, but these girls didn't expect anything, took it one game at a time and worked hard for it."
They needed to do that to win the Northern California Division III title, facing a Valley Christian (35-9) team loaded with talent, including one of the more heavily recruited juniors in the nation in Madeleine Dilfer.
And despite 30 assists and 14 kills from Dilfer, Campolindo (30-4) rallied after losing game one and after trailing in games three and four.
"They believed they could do it," Campolindo assistant coach Dave Chen said. "If you look on paper, we're undersized and inexperienced, but the postseason is about the confidence you have and they believed."
Annie Doyle's eight straight points in the second game got the Cougars even, then another 8-0 run turned a 16-11 game-three deficit into an eventual 2-1 lead.
The nip-and-tuck fourth game saw Campolindo down 21-18 after five straight points from Grace Chang, but Gaby Gryko's biggest block of the season made it 21-21 as Campolindo used the momentum of the home crown from that point
Campolindo entered Tuesday on an eight-match win streak, which included a five-game victory over Bishop O'Dowd in the North Coast Section Division III championship on Nov. 17 and a four-game win over Sacred Heart Cathedral in the second round of the Northern California playoffs Saturday.
The Cougars were seeking their third trip to the state final in seven years, as they also won the Division III state championships in 2006 and 2010.
Valley Christian, which is making its first appearance in the NorCal playoffs in three years, had won five in a row since its loss to Archbishop Mitty-San Jose in the West Catholic Athletic League semifinals.
Girls basketball
Head-Royce 51, St. Joseph Notre Dame 50: Sierra Ng hit a short jump shot as time expired to give the host Jayhawks a nonleague win over the Pilots, the defending North Coast Section Division V champions, in the season opener for both teams.
Ng finished with 23 points to lead Head-Royce, which finished second in the Bay Counties League-East last season and made the NCS Division V playoffs.
Courtney Ng added 10 points, including two 3-pointers, in the win.
For St. Joseph, Desiree Harris had 16 points and five assists and Fiona Kanady had seven points and five assists.

Girls soccer
San Ramon Valley 4, Antioch 0: The host Wolves (1-0) scored three goals in the first 30 minutes to help beat the Panthers (1-2) in a nonleague game.
MaKenna Kummer, Katie Tao and Melissa Lewis all scored first-half goals for San Ramon Valley, the defending East Bay Athletic League champion, and Morgan Idso capped the scoring with a goal in the 60th minute.
— Staff
California 2, Irvington 1: Malissa Shadle scored two goals, including the game winner in the 64th minute, as the host Grizzlies beat the Vikings in the season opener for both teams. Shadle scored in the 29th minute before Yvette Cuellar tied the game in the 39th minute. Lauren Holden made three saves in the win for California.

Laney College punter Jed Barnett made an oral commitment to play for Oklahoma, according to multiple reports.
Barnett, who attended high school in Washington state, visited Oklahoma this past weekend for the rivalry game against Oklahoma State.
He averaged 40.2 yards per punt with four touchbacks, and 14 of his 65 punts this season were downed inside the 20.

Marcu Butnaru
Born: May 12, 1886
Husi, Romania
Marcu was born to Jewish parents in a small, ethnically diverse city in east central Moldavia [in Romania], a region known for its wine. He married at the age of 23, and had a son and a daughter with his wife, Anna. After World War I, Marcu followed in his father's footsteps by going into the wine making business.
1933-39: The price of wine was low due to the worldwide economic depression. Because the quality of my wine was excellent, however, it still fetched a good price. I spent much of my time cultivating my vineyards and then transforming the grapes into wine. In November 1939 my 20-year-old son Ion was drafted into the Romanian army.
1940-44: In 1941 Romania went to war with the USSR as Germany's ally [Axis]. A Yiddish-speaking stranger came to my door saying that the Soviets were coming to liberate Jews. This was a ploy to catch traitors, and I refused to fall for it. That day I was arrested by Romanian fascists [Iron Guard], who accused me of being a communist just because I was Jewish. I was badly beaten, tried by a military court and acquitted. But then I was held hostage to prevent acts of sabotage. When I was finally released, my vineyards and home had been confiscated.
Marcu was liberated by the Soviet army in August 1944. He continued to live in Romania after the war.

I am wondering why there was a committee appointed to select a new county solicitor.
That was uncalled-for; that is why we elect county commissioners — to make decisions about employees.
That was strictly the commissioners' job to do all involved with making the appointment. There should have been no committee.
If others are making such decisions, we don't need commissioners.
Why didn't the Butler Eagle question this? In my opinion, the appointment of the panel was just a sham to make it appear that there was no partiality in naming the person who the two Republican commissioners wanted from the start.

(AP) – J.C. Penney Co. says Michael Francis, the former Target Corp. executive brought in to redefine the brand, is leaving the company.
The department store operator gave no reason for his immediate departure.
J.C. Penney hired Francis in October as president to redefine the Plano, Texas, company's brand and boost its sagging sales.
Francis was responsible for merchandising, marketing and product development.
J.C. Penney has hired a number of big-name executives to help transform everything about the retailer. The riskiest move was the elimination of hundreds of sales events in favor of more predictable low prices, but shoppers have not embraced the change.
Shares of J.C. Penney fell nearly 6 percent in after-hours trading Monday on the news.

Box Score - Game 1
Box Score - Game 2
Courtesy Clark Sports Information
WORCESTER, Mass. - With postseason seed implications on the line, The Clark University baseball team split with MIT by identical 8-4 scores in a New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) doubleheader on Clark Senior Day, Saturday, at Granger Field. The Engineers won the opener in dramatic fashion, while Clark rallied to win the nightcap.
With the split, the Cougars (12-19, 3-8 NEWMAC) earned the sixth seed in the upcoming conference tournament and will play at top-seed WPI in a first round game on Wednesday. MIT (17-9, 7-5) secured the third seed and will host a first-round game that same day (opponent and time TBD).
In the second game, Clark overcame an early 3-0 deficit to pull out the win. Sophomore Scott Hollingsworth's two-out double to left center started the rally in the bottom of the third. After a hit batsman put two runners on, junior Phil DiMarco singled Hollingsworth in to get Clark on the board. Freshman Mitch DeLorenzo followed with a two-run double to tie it up.
Sophomore Andrew Agostini led off the bottom of the fourth with his first career homerun to give the Cougars a one-run lead. The Engineers tied the game again in the seventh when senior Thomas Phillips walked, stole second and came around to score on David Nole's RBI hit.
Clark took the lead for good in the bottom of the frame after a bases-loaded fielder's choice hit by DiMarco and a run-producing single by DeLorenzo gave the Cougars a 6-4 advantage. Shawn Lamothe and Hollingsworth both had RBI hits in the eighth to cap the scoring. Sophomore Rob Lopez retired the side in order in the ninth to end the game. Freshman James Wilson earned the win on the mound, while DeLorenzo went 3-for-4 with three RBI to lead Clark's offense. Senior Stephen Toth took the loss for MIT.
Nole had two hits, including a grand-slam homerun in the top of the seventh, in MIT's 8-4 opening game victory. With the score knotted at 4-4, the Engineers manufactured a four-run seventh to grab the lead. Freshman Creed Mangrum reached on a one-out ground-rule double to start the attack. After Clark senior pitcher Dave Gagnon, who came on in relief, induced a pop-up out by Dan Hyatt, Phillips was intentionally walked and Steven Nunez was hit by a pitch to load the bases. That set the stage for Nole's eventual game-winning bomb. The senior outfielder belted a 3-2 pitch just over the left field fence for his third round-tripper of the year.
The Cougars threatened in the bottom of the inning, but stranded two runners on base to end the game. Mangrum picked up the win to improve to 2-0 for MIT.

Saturday was the last day of the FGS 2011 conference. The first session I attended was "The Parish" with Audrey Collins. Usually questions during sessions annoy me, but not with Audrey. The questions answered were just as good as the presentation. Maybe it was just the accent.
Next I went to "Porkopolis to Bonanza Farms: Midwest Historical Geography for Genealogists" presented by J. H. Fonkert. This session looked at lots of maps to show how agriculture, weather and technology affected how the Midwest was settled.
The sessions before and after lunch were a workshop by J. Mark Lowe entitled "Developing a Basic Research Plan." These two hours went so fast. It was nice to get some hands on work and start thinking through research plans. Of course I think that I'll use Evernote instead of Mark's index card strategy to keep my research plans organized.
During lunch, I sat at the Indiana Genealogical Society's table. Lunch on Saturday was the most traffic that the exhibit hall received except for right after it opened. All the Ancestry Day attendees were there and it was a good time to be manning the table.
I skipped the last two sessions and when the exhibit hall closed we headed back to Fort Wayne. I made sure to thank Paula Stuart-Warren and Josh Taylor on my way out for an awesome conference. Paula's already thinking of ways to put me to work for the FGS 2013 conference in Fort Wayne.

Thomas F. Farr's article "A Freedom Deferred" led off America's special issue on religion and international affairs. Prof. Farr makes the persuasive case that the United States must be more vigorous in its promotion of religious liberty abroad: "Social science is confirming what history and common sense suggest: religious freedom is necessary if self-governance is to yield political stability, economic growth, social harmony and peace. It is certainly necessary if nations are to rid themselves of religious extremism and terrorism, including the kinds of terrorism that have been exported to the American homeland."
In the interest of continuing the conversation, we asked Prof. Farr to respond to a few questions sparked by the second article in our special issue, "Christians and Statecraft," by Dennis Hoover. Hoover describes the advent of a new kind evangelical internationalism, which seeks to fight human trafficking, slavery, and the spread of AIDS. Prof. Farr also weighs in on the recent appointment of Suzan Johnson Cook as ambassador for International Religious Freedom. Our thanks to Prof. Farr.
What role can U.S. evangelicals play in promoting religious libery abroad?
Evangelicals can play a major role by reengaging on the issue. I have the impression that evangelical leaders, and the broader evangelical public, were heavily involved during the debate over the International Religious Freedom Act. Once that statute was passed in 1998, however, there seemed to be a "mission accomplished" feeling among some of the leaders, and they simply moved on. But in the ensuing 12 years that statute has not been vigorously enforced by any of the three administrations (Clinton,Bush, Obama) under which it has operated, and Congress has paid very little attention. So we need evangelicals to pay greater heed to an issue which is a "natural" for them. They should write their members of Congress and urge their leaders to get involved.
What role if any has Rick Warren played in defending religious freedom abroad?
I suspect that Rev Warren has done some vigorous personal advocacy abroad, and that he has had some success. During the Saddleback presidential discussion, Rev Warren asked candidate Obama a question on religious persecution in China and elsewhere. Obama indicated that he took this issue very seriously. But 18 months into his presidency, there are reasons to question his commitment. I would hope Rev Warren would press the President privately, and publicly, to live up to his own rhetoric.
Because of their political clout, do pastors of mega churches play too large of a role in advising presidents on these matters?
Absolutely not. America's founders said over and over again that the health of American democracy required a moral citizenry, and that morality, in their view, derived from religion. Madison famously described religion as "the duty we owe the Creator." He wrote that the performance of that duty was prior to any other in civil society, and that, above all, freedom was necessary for carrying it out. That understanding has unraveled a bit over the last two centuries, but this much remains true: religious freedom includes the right of religious actors of all persuasions--Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, and others--to enter into the public square with their religion-based arguments. This is a staple of American democracy, without which the nation would be intellectually and politically impoverished.
How would you try to persuade the new evangelicals that religious liberty is as important as fighting against AIDS, slavery or human trafficking?
I would remind them that their voices--and the voices of their co-religionists abroad--cannot be heard on any subject without religious liberty. I would suggest to them that their fruitful work in the 1990s to pass an international religious freedom law remains unfulfilled, and that they need to get back into that fight.
What concrete steps could Suzan Johnson Cook, the newly appointed ambassador for International Religious Freedom, take to push for greater religious freedom abroad?
She could insist on being given the same status of other ambassadors at large at the State Department, i.e., the ambassadors at large for women's issues, counter terrorism and war crimes, all of whom report directly to the Secretary of State. As presently arranged, Dr. Johnson Cook will report to the Assistant Secretary for Democracy, Human
Rights and Labor, a lower ranking official several layers removed from the Secretary. This placement will signal to foreign governments and American officials alike that U.S. religious freedom policy is not a priority and can safely be ignored.
She can also insist that the IRF staff, which she by law heads, not be taken away from her, with its director reporting to another official rather than to her. That too is part of the administration's current plan.
Such decisions may seem like inside baseball, but in fact they are merely the bureaucratic dimension of what appears to be a policy decision to sideline religious liberty because it is perceived to complicate administration policies with the Muslim world and China. There are also signs that IRF policy is perceived to complicate attempts by the administration to advance gay rights in international law.
If she is to be effective, Dr. Johnson Cook must oppose the sidelining of religious freedom by the Obama administration. Her job will be especially difficult because the obstacles she faces are not simply those posed by foreign governments. Her own administration has stacked the decks against her.

Let's add a Player to the Burrell/Bradley sweepstakes
Blogger's and commenter's both around Tampa Bay and Chicago baseball communities have been writing and speculating about the teams trading their two "bad contracts" some time during this off season. Each squad currently has a current roster member set to make at least $ 9 million for the 2010 season, and both squads want to unload that contract for a variety of reasons.
And with the Winter Meeting set to start in Indianapolis soon, this potential deal seeming to be at a stalemate. Maybe it is time to add another piece into the whole trade scenario. Maybe it is time for one of these teams to buckle down and offer a second piece to the puzzle that makes it appetizing to either squad to complete this deal before the end of 2009.
Last night during a massive lightning show from thunderstorms racing through Florida, the answer struck me like lightning in my wet hammock. What if the Rays added a player from their overflowing catcher position to the mix as an tasty add-on to the trade? This would bring the addition of experience and potential veteran presence to the Cubs currently young catching corps.
With the Rays recently getting veteran catcher Kelly Shoppach as another catching option for the team, the Rays currently have an overflow of catching talent. And this potential problem could be addressed quickly with the addition of one of the Rays rostered catchers being added to the Burrell/Bradley trade. It could be a spicy addition to the deal to entice the Cubs take the deal, as well as remove a catching decision by the Rays.
Flashing into my mind last night was the addition of Rays catcher Dioner Navarro to become a valuable veteran for the Cubs roster. Having Navarro's presence as a back-up behind the plate should take pressure off Cubs starter Geovany Soto in 2010, and help him rebound after a bad 2009 season. Adding to this possible trade equation the fact that the Cubs current back-up catcher is also arbitration eligible, maybe the Rays and Cubs can include the arbitration eligible Navarro as a clear upgrade to the position.
The Cubs currently have Koyie Hill as their back-up catcher, and he did appear in 83 Cubs games in 2009. That is over half of the Cubs 162 games where the back-up catcher was needed by the team to provide offense and stability. With Hill entering his third season with the Cubs in 2010 and a total combined 179 games during his Major League career, he pales in comparison to veteran Navarro.
Navarro has appeared in 490 games during his Major League career and has a career .253 average with 33 HR and 173 RBI over that span. And in the wind-aided confines of Wrigley Field, those numbers are sure to increase dramatically. Hill in comparison has a MLB career .213 average with 5 HR and 49 RBI.
The potential additional piece of Navarro to the trade brings an instant upgrade in power at the catching position, which is currently missing in the Cubs line-up. And considering that Soto did miss 26 games from July to August in 2009 with a left oblique strain,then came back to hit on .128 in August 2009,. His 0198 average in his 32 games since his return from the Disabled List might be of concern for the Cubs heading into 2010. This might be a clear indicator that a veteran offensive back-up catcher is a clear need for the team.
And with the Cubs adding up to a estimated $6 million to the Rays as salary relief in the deal, maybe the Rays can trim that amount to say, $5 million if the Cubs let Navarro's name be added to the deal. It can be a great potential arbitration dowry or money chip for the Cubs to consider Navarro in the deal. With Hill making only $ 475,000 in 2009, it is estimated that he could get close to $1 million in arbitration.
Navarro, who made $ 2.1 million in 2009, is estimated to maybe increasing to $2.5 million for 2010. With a saving of a $1 million salary chip in the Cubs hands after the Bradley trade, the team could add a valuable piece to their 2010 arsenal in catching power and experience.
And with Soto having a sub-par 2009 after a stellar 2008 National League All Star and Rookie of the Year season, Navarro would provide an instant answer for Cubs Manager Lou Piniella if Soto dramatically regresses or begins the year in another slump.
The playoff experience and leadership of Navarro can provide instant credibility to the Cubs catching corps. With the Rays having three potential Major League catchers stuck at the minor league level in Shawn Riggans, John Jaso, and Joe Lobaton, the trading of Navarro would provide a chance for one of them to excel and possibly gain a spot on the Rays 25-man roster in 2010.
There will be a trade of Burrell and Bradley sometime this off season. The trade result might not include both the Rays and Cubs unless something is done to make the deal sweeter for the Cubs. This new trade idea gives relief to both franchises of their potential "bad contracts" while also adding another nice trade piece to the Cubs that will strengthen their roster. For both Burrell and Navarro this trade would/could be a fresh start for both of them.
With the Rays potentially getting Bradley, they will have to make some concessions somewhere down the line to get this deal completed. By adding Navarro, they could bring this trade to a fast conclusion if the Cubs look at the potential of both Soto and Navarro hitting above their 2009 averages and giving no offensive or defensive slack if either is inserted into the lineup.
Bradley currently has a provision in his Cubs contract where he gets a suite for every road series. And Burrell would get a possible $200,000 if he is traded during the duration of his contract. But those are minor pieces with the big picture of this deal getting completed by either team. In the long run,the Rays could get another shot to see if Bradley, the player the Rays pursued hard during the 2009 free agent season is the missing piece to their playoff formula.
If I stand back and look at the possible idea of including Navarro as a trade piece to this puzzle. It really looks like a great solution to this deal happening before the end of the 2009. I know I am not privy to the inter working of the Rays front office, but in my mindset, this addition to the Burrell/Bradley scenario would make the Cubs a potential big winner in the overall scheme of this deal while also helping the Rays subtract a possible problem within their own roster.
And how rare is it for two teams to both come out as winner in a potential trade. In this scenario, both could come away smiling from ear-to-ear.

Intriguing idea of adding Burrell to that trade proposal. I see that Burrell did indeed have something of a down year with you last year. It would be expensive to be stuck with that salary for him. I'd be interested to see if the trade does occur. Are you (or are the Rays) concerned about whether Bradley would fit in well with the team?
I at first was a bit concerned, but Bradley has a team option of $12 million for 2011 that can be bought out for $2 million.
I have an odd feeling that if the Cubs do send some cash with him, it will be put to use if he again begins to show his " stupid" side and the Rays will pay him the $ 2 million buyout to get lost.
But that is worse case scenario until anything like a trade can be finalized…….right.

Dude, Cliff, this would be a wonderful trade. It's like John Kerry versus George W. Bush… pick your proverbial poison and die an agonizing death until Prince Obama (your 2012 free agent) comes to save the day .
I know Bradley has a lot of talent, but he's been such a headache in his career. Are you sure you want that for the Rays, even if there are provisions in his contract that give the team an out if he acts up?
You know, in this trade it is more like being a member of the bomb sqaud and trying to figure out if you should cut the blue or the red wrie, then the yellow wire sticks out too you.
Clip the wrong one and all H*** breaks loose. Clips the right one and everyone is perfect in Happy Valley…….or so they say.
Rays Renegade
I kind of look at Bradley like that one cheerleader or dance team member during those National Championships in Orlando who steps with spunk, and shows the gleem off their teeth like no one else.
He/she is that "look at me" kid who has to have the attention to themselves.
With a "game" styled name like Milton Bradley………what else would you truly expect…………..seriously

WASHINGTON Breakfast at Tiffanys, Dirty Harry and A League of Their Own will be preserved for their enduring significance in American culture by the Library of Congress, along with A Christmas Story and some pioneering sports movies.
They are among 25 selections the library inducted this month into the National Film Registry. Congress created the program in 1989 to preserve films for their cultural or historical significance.
The newest movie chosen for preservation is 1999s The Matrix, noted for its state-of-the-art special effects and computer-generated animation, curators said.
The oldest film being preserved, The Corbett-Fitzsimmons Title Fight, dates back 115 years to 1897.
The Librarian of Congress makes the selections each year after conferring with members of the National Film Preservation Board and receiving public nominations.
To be considered, the films must be at least 10 years old.
These films are not selected as the best American films of all time, but rather as works of enduring importance to American culture, said Librarian of Congress James Billington in announcing the selections. They reflect who we are as a people and as a nation.
They also include some unforgettable characters.
Audrey Hepburn landed the lead in 1961s Breakfast at Tiffanys even though writer Truman Capote wanted Marilyn Monroe for the part. Film critics and the audience decided Capote was wrong and hailed Hepburns portrayal.
A League of Their Own from 1992 received many public nominations for the film registry over the years. With a cast that included Geena Davis, Tom Hanks, Madonna and Rosie ODonnell, it told the story of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League.
Numerous public nominations also were received for Born Yesterday from 1950 and A Christmas Story from 1983. Both were chosen this year. Other Hollywood features on the list include Anatomy of a Murder from 1959 and 3:10 to Yuma from 1957.
Each title named to the registry will be preserved in the librarys Packard Campus for Audio Visual Conservation, built partially in a bunker in Culpeper, Va., or through collaborations with other archives or studios.
Documentaries chosen this year include The Times of Harvey Milk, made in 1984 about San Franciscos first openly gay elected official who was assassinated in 1978, and Samsara: Death and Rebirth in Cambodia from 1990 about the struggle to rebuild after Pol Pots rule.
This years selections include some firsts in film history. The 1914 film Uncle Toms Cabin, based on the anti-slavery novel by Harriet Beecher Stowe, had been adapted earlier for movies with white actors in the lead roles. But this version was the first feature-length U.S. film to star a black actor when Sam Lucas was chosen for the part.
The library will also preserve the first Kodachrome Color Motion Picture Tests from 1922. The two-color film features leading actresses posing and miming for the camera to demonstrate the new color film. Before then, to show film in color, black and white images either had to be hand-painted or colored with a stenciling process. Inventors, including scientists at Kodak, began experimenting with ways to create true color film.
The Kodachrome test shown at Paragon Studios in New Jersey was the first publicly demonstrated color film that would attract interest from the American film industry. Later Technicolor would become the industry standard.
Most every major Hollywood film from 1922 through the end of the silent era would have either a Kodachrome color sequence in it or Technicolor color sequence as a way of attracting audience interest, said Pat Loughney, chief of the librarys audio visual preservation campus. Its a technical, historical achievement, but its important to the progress of inventive work that made motion pictures successful.

Prior to UW-Platteville's Homecoming football game against 17th-ranked UW-Eau Claire, sophomore Lee Vlasak had exactly one career carry.
Suffice to say, that total will greatly increase.
Vlasak moved from receiver to running back this week and set a Pioneer record with five rushing touchdowns in UW-Platteville's 35-14 win. He became just the sixth player in Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference history to score that many touchdowns on the ground. (UW-Eau Claire's Cory Sartorelli holds the WIAC mark with six.)
Vlasak, who was a running back at Pecatonica-Argyle, ran for three touchdowns of one yard each and two of two yards. He ran 33 times for 114 rushing yards and caught four passes for 91 more. He scored four times in the first half alone, as the Pioneers ran to a 28-7 halftime lead. He extended the margin to 35-7 on the Pioneers' first possession of the second half, capping a 72-yard drive.
Both teams are now 3-2 overall and 1-1 in WIAC play. Joel Sweeney accounted for both Blugold touchdowns, running in from 19 yards to tie the score at 7-7 and from eight yards out with 5:53 left in the third quarter.
The Pioneers out-gained the Blugolds 376-276, with Nick Anderson throwing for 200 yards on a 15-25 day. Joe Burkeland added 59 receiving yards on six catches.
Sweeney finished with 114 rushing yards, and quarterback Austin Neu threw for 152 but was sacked five times by the Pioneer defense. Corey Marks and Jesse Lindemulder each registered two sacks, and Alex Schaefer had the other.
Notes: Three of UW-Platteville's scoring drives were of at least 10 plays and 72 yards, including the first 17-play, 94-yard match that consumed 7:32 ... the Pioneers were playing their third straight game against a ranked team, having fallen to #18 Wheaton and #1 UW-Whitewater ... UWP improved to 41-37-4 all-time in their Homecoming history ... the Pioneers now lead the season series with the Blugolds 26-22-1 ... the contest will be broadcast on Fox Sports Net Oct. 13 at 7 p.m.

Nefarian down!
On Monday night we had 25 people turn up! So off we went to do Nefarion again (we did have some attempts with 24 people on Sunday) and I wondered how are we ever going to get all these people up on pillars!
A lot of people thought that doing Nefarion with 25 people when we hadn't even downed it yet on 10 was silly, but I disagree. I think that those people who were not included in the 10 man and would like to see it on 25 man got a feel for the fight and actually enjoyed the challenge of it. And most people did try quite hard I thought.
So on Monday we seemed to get Phase 1 down alright (it's good having the same tanks doing the dragon tanking on 25 man as we do on 10 man) and we started our attempts at getting on the pillars. And of course get the interrupts right! There was one very good attempt where the only person who didn't make it onto a pillar was Faithless and everyone else was on the pillar and we managed to get to Phase 3!
Coolidge tanked the adds on Sunday, and Epidemais tanked it on Monday. Coolidge did quite a good job on Sunday, and Epidemais though he didn't quite know what to do at first did quite a reasonable job though with a few hiccups to start (having not tanked it before I think he was a bit anxious about it). He had difficulty seeing the adds at first but after a while I think he got the hang of it (and he may have zoomed out his camera by then!).
So we had 2 tanks tanking adds in Phase 3 but we had difficulty keeping up on heals. I think we just need to focus on keeping everyone topped up as much as possible and hopefully the tanks can kite the adds correctly so they don't get breathed on! Boy is that fire everywhere!
So after that attempt we decided to call it and try to focus on our 10 man. So we had quite a few goes with us dying on getting up on the pillars etc, and we were on our last go for the night. Cym died then Lushnek died and then I was chasing Thraso around... then I died! And then Thraso died and we were like oh crap... and we were on 1%. Cym got rezzed by Hwired but died quickly again :(. We called it and everyone just stood there for about 1 second before they decided to just keep dpsing it see if we could get it... 1500k.... 1300k...1000k... it was amazing we didn't think they could do it, but when they got to 200k it was like.. OMG we can do it! 50k... then BANG! Nefarion is dead!
There was guild spam with our kill as we got Defendor of a Shattered World, Guild Glory of the Cataclysm Raider, Blackwing Descent and Blackwing Descent Guild Run.
So what dropped? Can you believe it - there was 2 items I could use! One was Helm of the Forlorn Vanquisher and Andoros, Fist of the Dragon King! However I didn't have the dkp for either item - there were 5 people in the raid who could use that Tier piece and Cymre got the mace! So I have to shamefully admit that I was upset for a full minute when I knew that the Tier piece was going to elude me - and I was sitting around with my blue helm still! But after sulking for a little I realised I should just be happy that I got the kill! The other item that dropped was Akmin-Kurai, Dominion's Shield, which Thraso took.
Tanks - Hwired, Thraso
Healers - Navimie, Cymre, Shaimster
DPS - Lushnek, Sevros, Moopie, Xynzelle, Roshii
Now I have the title, Navimie, Defender of a Shattered World.

Tonight. My last night. Two weeks away from home. France. Italy. Everyday, somewhere to be. Wine to be tasted. Ten hour days. Driving. Weak eyes. Sore feet. And then finally the last hotel. Near the airport. So close.
One more meal. Near the hotel. 50 feet away. Why not? After a wonderful day in Barolo, with Anna and Emanuela and nine wonderful wines going back to 1990. Dolcetto. Cortese. Barbera. Nebbiolo. Moscato. Great chef. Amazing lunch. Wonderful company.
And then the drive to the last hotel room. And the last meal.
In any other situation, in Rome, in New Orleans, in New York, in Paris, it would be a throwaway restaurant. Not needing to be better than it needed to be. By virtue of it's proximity to the airport, it would only need to feed the people who ventured in. And then. And then.
I walk in. Old bottles of wine going back to the 1950's. Now like the people in the catacombs in Palermo who were laid side by side in the underground rooms, to dry out and display their life in death. The wines weren't why I was here.
Rounding the corner. An older man, he had to be in his mid 70's, bent over, moving fast, penguin-like movements, with a quick hello, and a greeting of "Welcome, sit down, we are glad you are here." At a restaurant near the airport. More than it needed to be.
No, this wasn't a Michelin spot. It was an eatery. The Bologonese was correct. The Branzino was clean. The spinach was perfect. The Grignolino, in half bottle, was fresh, alive, real. Nothing with more than five ingredients. Classic preparations. Quintessential service. With a smile. From two veterans who were still happily serving when most people had long retired.
When the guys with the $100 million payoff have faded into their private island existence, these two fellows are still in the game. Giving it all they have. As they have most likely all their life. With joy, with a smile. With service. Mythical. Gurus. What any of us guys would aspire to be if we had the single purpose these two have.
I am humbled in their presence. They embody hospitality in its perfect sphere of existence. 100+ points. 5+ stars. Exactly what restaurants were invented for. Not for great food with funny names and foams and high prices for only a few. No, these gents were servant leaders. On my last day here in Italy. By the airport. What are the chances? Italy, the wine trail started out this time pretty shaky, but you delivered. The finale this time was text book, the reason why we love you so much. So much. I am speechless.
