Sneak Peek: Inside Mistral Kitchen's New Digs
On Wednesday morning, I sat down with chef William Belickis (of Belltown's Mistral, which closed March of 2008) in a 5,000-square-foot concrete space at the intersection of 8th Avenue and Westlake in South Lake Union that, in the span of four months will inevitably be one of the most expensive restaurant openings of the year. (Full disclosure: I've noted in former articles that my husband and I were patrons of Mistral, and that Belickis cooked at our wedding.) Though firm decisions on furniture, light fixtures, and draperies haven't been made, Mistral Kitchen will be clean, sleek, and slightly industrial, with the look of a real restaurant kitchen, down to the polished concrete floors in the main dining area.
At our meeting, Belickis had the architectural plans for me to look at, and walked me through the vision of the restaurant. The entrance to Mistral Kitchen itself will be showpiece, with a sculpturally designed ramp by renowned architect Tom Kundig of Olson Sundberg Kundig Allen. Taking inspiration from the famous apple-lined archway at starred New York restaurant Bouley (Belickis cut his teeth working with Michelin-starred chef David Bouley at the original Bouley) the ramp will be lined with crates filled with fresh, seasonal fruit—think citrus and rosemary in the late fall/early winter, when the restaurant is slated to open. "I decided on the crates of fruit because it's something you'd find in any restaurant kitchen, and I want to give diners that sensory experience, that aroma of fresh fruit, as soon as they walk in," says Belickis.
From the entrance, diners will find themselves at the bar, and further along, one of the three open kitchens with bar seating. The first kitchen will feature a wood-burning oven, and a tandoori oven (expect items like roasted shellfish, and tandoori ribeyes). The next kitchen will be what Belickis calls a "technical" kitchen, responsible for turning out all the canapés and lighter first courses for the restaurant (think tomato spheres with mozzarella and liquid globe basil and other such trademark inventive culinary treats from Belickis.) The last kitchen is the pastry kitchen, outfitted with a blast freezer. Here, Belickis plans on debuting "a frozen cloud of carrot cake, with white chocolate yogurt frosting" which he explains will be much lighter than frozen foam—this dessert will literally disappear when it reaches the ambient temperature on the diner's tongue, leaving only the essential oils and flavors of the dessert. (Though a pastry chef has not signed on board yet, rumor has it that Belickis is in talks with one of the very best in the city.)
Much has been made of the Mistral Kitchen "Jewel Box", a private dining area that seats up to 24 individual diners. Belickis claims it will be a recreation of the old Mistral, though the room will certainly be more intimate and elegant, with white linen, crystal glassware, and all the trimmings you'd expect from a fine-dining restaurant. There'll also be more interaction between the chefs and the guests, given that the main kitchen (situated at the "tip" of the restaurant) is in close proximity. The architectural team has ensured that the Jewel Box is insulated from the Happy Hour crowd, with woven insulation through the studs, a double wall that cuts down on the inevitable ever-so-slight vibration from the dishwasher, carpeting, and a cantilevered ceiling for noise absorption that extends out into the main dining ar

FHA (Federal Housing Authority) has announced sweeping changes to the fees they will charge for monthly PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance)
in Mortgagee Letter 2013-04, dated January 31, 2013.
Historically, FHA loans have been geared towards helping potential homeowners who have not so good credit or a lower down payment the opportunity to obtain financing to purchase or refinance a home.
But in recent years FHA has felt thebneed to increase both the Up Front and monthly PMI premiums, which has seen an increase in a borrower's loan amount and monthly mortgage payments.
In April, 2012, FHA increased the UFMIP ( Up Front Mortgage
Insurance Premium)from 1.10% to 1.75%.
What this meant was for every $100,000 borrowed, FHA charged a 1 time fee of $1,100 that increased to $1,750. FHA does not required the borrower to bring this fee to closing, but rather allows them to finance it as part of the loan. So the $100,000 loan with the old premium became a $101,100 loan. Under the revised UFMIP the $100,000 loan now becomes a $101,750 loan. FHA does give the borrower the option to pay this premium at closing and not roll it in to the mortgage.
NOW FHA is going to increase the monthly PMI associated with an FHA loan, as well as increase the duration of time the PMI stays on the loan.
Here are a few example for a FHA loan with less than 10% down.
MONTHLY CHANGES on loans assigned after April 1, 2013
FHA loans with 15 and 30 years fixed interest rate will see an increase of 1/10th of 1%, or $10 per $100,000 borrowed.
So a $100,000 loan with see an increasein monthly PMI from $125 a month to $135 a month.
TERM OF MONTHLY PMI on loans assigned after June 3, 2013
Previously on FHA loans with less than 10% down the FHA premium would go away after approximately 5 years as long as the borrower had at least 22% equity in the home.
Now a FHA loan assigned a case # on or after June 3, 2013 will have monthly PMI for the duration of the mortgage, no matter what the equity is on the home.
So how do these changes affect you? The new homeowner?
Although the changes are not earth shattering, they are an increase to a borrower's monthly mortgage payment as well as the overall cost through the years to obtain an FHA loan.
If you are on the fence when it comes to refinancing your home with an FHA loan, I suggest you speak with a professional loan officer as soon as possible before the fees go in to effect.
If you are in the process of looking for a new home, note that an FHA case number can only be assigned when a borrowers has an accepted contract on a home. The case number goes with the address of the home, not the borrower, so any pre-approval you may have prior to the above referenced dates does not mean you fall under the old fees.
Other fees are changing as well to FHA mortgages with different down payments and loan terms.

There are many high quality surgical specialists...
right here in Harford County.

here on how to prepare for it.
University of Maryland Harford Memorial Hospital and University of Maryland Upper Chesapeake Medical Center are ranked among the top hospitals in Maryland for General Surgery.

Minimally Invasive Surgery, General Surgery
The evolution of minimally invasive surgery over the
last ten years has resulted in quicker recovery and better outcomes for
patients. Harford County has kept pace with the latest technology. The
Division of General Surgery at University of Maryland Upper Chesapeake Health (UM UCH) offers state-of-the-art
procedures performed in a caring environment by surgeons who have the
expertise and the most current equipment at their fingertips.
Major advances
include the incorporation of new technology into traditional treatment
of both benign and malignant colon disease and new minimally invasive
abdominal surgical procedures. "UM UCH surgeons
are performing single site laparoscopic surgery for gallbladder and appendix
removal," says Scott A. Steinmetz, M.D., FACS, Division Head of
General Surgery at University of Maryland Upper Chesapeake Medical Center (UM UCMC). "Instead of
the four 1/2-inch or smaller incisions associated with traditional laparoscopic
surgery that may leave visible scars, the SILS™ (single incision
laparoscopic surgery) procedure is accomplished with a single 2-cm incision
through the belly button, often resulting in less pain and scarring,"
added Sung Kim, M.D., FACS, a board certified general surgeon with fellowship
training in minimally invasive techniques.
Dr. Steinmetz points out that
smaller is not always better and "just because we can" is
never a good reason to use a new procedure. Minimally invasive surgery
is not right for everyone. "We exercise good judgment as to which
patients are good candidates for these newer technologies," he
UM UCH surgeons offer a full range of general surgery options with
specialization in the areas of thoracic surgery, surgical oncology and
minimally invasive techniques.
What factors should a patient consider
when choosing a surgeon? "Experience is vital," says Dr.
Kim, "but patients also want a surgeon who is compassionate, respectful
and understanding." Individuals considering weight loss surgery
are pleased to learn that UM UCH's Division of
Bariatric Surgery has been designated a Level I Center of Excellence
by the American College of Surgeons. In addition to the most common laparoscopic
gastric bypass procedure, gastric banding and sleeve gastrectomy are
two other minimally invasive options offered at University of Maryland Harford Memorial Hospital (UM HMH).
"Obese patients are at risk for developing blood clots and other complications
with any type of surgery," Dr. Kim says, "so
we take measures to reduce risks—more so than in general surgical
The cancer programs at UM UCH have
received accreditation from the American College of Surgeons' Commission
on Cancer. "Our surgeons are university trained and board certified
in surgery and are all well versed in the changing technology," Dr.
Steinmetz says. In the case of breast cancer, patients receive a full
range of services, including core biopsy, surgery, the latest chemotherapy
treatments and expert reconstruction—all without leaving Harford
still hear people say, 'I didn't know that was offered here,'" Dr.
Steinmetz says. "Significant advances in clinical care and technology
have taken place in Harford County over the past ten years. They will
be pleasantly surprised to learn that they can save a drive up or down
95 and get state-of-the-art care right in their own backyard!"

The Daily Star
---- — Gun-control hypocrites, gun-free zones and the children of regular Americans are vulnerable. The Sidwell Friends school in Washington, D.C., has 11 armed security guards. The Obamas chose to send their daughters to Sidwell.
These 11 armed guards are not Secret Service employees. They are school employees who have been there ages before Obama was elected president.
Elitists like NBC's David Gregory have children who attend Sidwell. Deceivers against school vouchers for the less-fortunate, a pestiferous environment exists! Bulletproof backpacks for your children, armed security guards for their children! Politicizing school shootings; and "Fast and Furious" remains Obama's bloodiest gun scandal.
Chinese parents were also horrified on Friday, Dec. 14, 2012. Twenty-two school children and an elderly woman were critically wounded in a knife attack at the Chenpeng Village Primary School.
Within 10 minutes, a man armed with a kitchen knife terrorized a Japanese elementary school in a stabbing spree that left eight schoolchildren dead and injured 21 other people.
There are more than 22,000 gun laws already on the books. Rapid-fire automatic weapons were banned in 1934. Semi-automatic guns fire one round at a time. Established case law holds that the police are neither obligated nor liable for failing to protect.
Victims have no recourse if the police fail to respond or fail to protect citizens from harm. Calling 911 is no substitute for a gun. More children drown each year in bathtubs and swimming pools than by gun violence. Should bathtubs and swimming pools be banned? Should schools remain gun-free zones, except Sidwell?

Gauge Goals, Dreams to Find the Right U.S. College
Prospective international students should keep their goals in mind to find a good fit at a U.S. college.
For many international students who wish to study in the U.S., now is the time you need to begin thinking about where you are going to apply.
If you are going to the U.S. for a semester or for a year of study, then you should expect to receive guidance from the people organizing your exchange. If, however, you are going into this experience solo, it can be overwhelming to know where to begin researching the vast array of American colleges, and find out what is the right place for you.
Start by asking people in the know. If your home university works on exchange programs with American colleges and you're hoping to make an exchange, it's always useful to network with older students who have previously been out there. If there are students from your hometown who have studied in the U.S., get in touch to find out about their experiences.
[See an infographic about international students in the U.S.]
If you're planning an exchange program, speak with exchange program alumni and with any American students who might have visited your home university. They'll be able to offer you advice and information about their experiences that might be useful to you.
When applying to schools, think about what you want to get out of the experience. The school system can be very different from the system in your home country. Some people claim to find American study easier than other international forms, but this is not necessarily the case.
Some schools will have a very strong academic drive, while others will have a more relaxed atmosphere, so you should take this into account as you research colleges and universities. Many colleges excel in specific areas, whether it is research, arts or sciences, so you should start thinking about what you want to major in and look into schools that specialize in your interests to find the right college fit.
Remember that just because a college doesn't have a big name, it doesn't mean it's a bad institution. You may find a good fit at a place you'd never heard of. There are online resources and college guides you can tap into that rank and provide information about colleges around America.
[Learn where international students get the most financial aid.]
Make sure you're researching the whole package, not just the college. Know yourself and what you are looking to get out of your time in America when you are applying to your college.
Every school is going to be unique in what it offers its students, so it's worth asking yourselves some questions like: Do you want to attend a school with a very large community of international students, or immerse yourself in American culture by being one of a select few?
[Avoid these common U.S. college admissions mistakes.]
Of course everyone wants a valuable learning experience. But beyond that, do you want to be part of a fast-paced city experience with a lively nightlife, somewhere secluded in the country or some middle ground in between the two?
You may think that it's the school itself that's the most important factor, and to some degree that's true. But the environment you're living in will have a big effect on your experience in America, so make sure you take it into account. I've known several international students who had their experiences in America ruined by being in a place they didn't enjoy.
It seems daunting but sometimes beginning this important research process can be as simple as asking yourself: Is there anywhere in America you've always really wanted to visit? What piqued my interest in Berkeley was a dream of living in San Francisco. If you're feeling unsure about the school itself, start with a place you've always wanted to visit and work from there.
Emily Burt, from the United Kingdom, studied at the University of California—Berkeley on an exchange program. She will graduate from the University of East Anglia in 2014 with a bachelor's in American literature and creative writing.

The appraisal team was blown away by the improv techniques used by this team in the preparation phase of the challenge. The team immediately broke into three groups to brainstorm the beginning, middle, and end of the performance. The team then reformed to integrate the pieces. It was an incredibly efficient approach to brainstorming using improv techniques.

It is a well known fact that obesity has become a serious health problem allover the world. So world over health conscious people are trying to shed their unnecessary body fat and get back to shape with a flat stomach. But individuals have a very tough time to control the accumulation of body fat and also to shed the already accumulated fat. Especially people are finding it quiet impossible to get rid of the stomach fat. Indeed it is very difficult to lose belly fat and so the most often questions which comes from the persons who are interested in losing fat and getting into a perfect shape are – How to get rid of stomach fat fast Or, How to lose belly fat Or, How to burn stomach fat Or, How to reduce belly fat and etc.
In fact our stomach is the first place where fat starts accumulating and our belly is also the last place to lose fat. So it requires a very careful and calculated approach when one wants to lose belly fat. In fact you require a very well designed, tried and tested plan to burn the stubborn stomach fat.
One thing is to be stated here very clearly – that is research has proved beyond doubt that to get rid of belly fat requires the same fat burning approach as is required to reduce or burn fat from any other part of our body. In fact you do not require a separate plan to lose belly fat but rather following one single program will help you lose fat from your stomach as well as reduce your whole body fat.
There are many fat lose programs or plans available in the market but a genuine and effective fat lose program is that which is prepared with the combination of ways to reduce calorie intake by selecting a diet which consists of low calorie but high protein and fiber content and to increase physical activity to boost our metabolic process to burn off more calories.
But before we go into the details let us have a quick overview of some of the myths about losing belly fat or rather fat lose in general, so that you can take a more informed and confident approach towards losing your body fat or specifically to loose belly or stomach fat. In fact there are many foolish or rather funny myths around in the fitness industry on "how to lose belly or stomach fat". Rather the myths regarding ways to get rid of stomach or belly fat are quiet deep seated in our minds, so there is a need to clear those myths before we can adopt a program to get rid of our belly fat.
Given below are two of the greatest myths regarding losing belly fat that must be cleared at first :-
1. Abdominal or so called Stomach Flattening Exercises like crunches are best to Lose or Burn Belly Fat and get rid of the love handles – In fact this is the greatest myth that has resulted in the failure of most individuals in their endeavor to reduce their stomach fat and get a flat toned stomach. People seem to do hundreds of crunches or sit-ups, leg raises and various other abdominal exercises as often as possible in a hope to burn the accumulated belly or stomach fat by directly targeting the stomach fat. But the fact is that there is no spot reduction of fat.
Let me explain – we do crunches or other abs exercises in a hope that stomach exercises will help to burn or melt our abdominal fat directly but what happens in reality is that whenever we do any exercise our body burns fat from all over the body and same is the case with abdominal exercises too – this has been proved scientifically. So whenever we do abs workouts we actually burn fat from all round our body rather than only our stomach. What abs exercises does is that it helps in toning our abdominal muscles making them more firm, well built and developed rather than helping us getting rid of or burning our abdominal fat.
2. Skipping Meals will help Lose or Reduce Stomach Fat faster – This is the second most fatal misconception present in many peoples mind. Especially the dieting enthusiasts consider skipping meals as the Holy Grail to getting rid of stomach fat fast. But extensive scientific research has shown that skipping meals instead of helping us to burn our body fat faster on the contrary lowers our metabolic rate. Thus our body burns fewer calories for the same usual activities. Skipping meals mostly results in decreasing the calorie intake and more often is seen to deprive our body of vital nutrients and therefore results in weight loss instead of fat loss.
So what does a person need to do to lose belly fat or reduce body fat in general? Its a fact that any individual who in interested in losing stomach fat must first and foremost know what works and what does not work that is he must know what type of foods he must eat, what type of physical activities or rather exercises he must be doing in order to be able to melt off the piled up fat around his stomach and also his whole body. What is needed for an effective stomach fat loss program is a proper combination of both – healthy eating habits and proper exercises that helps you get rid of stomach fat fast. In short he must know what type of life style he must adopt to be successful in getting rid of the stubborn tummy fat and thereby get a flat and toned stomach.
This post has been specifically written to give answers to your questions like – How to lose belly or stomach fat? So now let me show you what you need to do to get rid of your accumulated abdominal fat. Mentioned below are two of the main things you need to do to burn your stubborn belly fat faster and get a flat toned six pack stomach :-
1. Increase Physical Activity to Lose Belly Fat Quickly – In our modern life style physical activity is often ignored or in other words we do not have time for physical activities but if you are really interested in losing stomach fat fast you need to adjust your life style and include physical activities in it. Regular exercise or at least working out 3 days in a week is advisable. Do intensive aerobics training combined with weight or resistance training to develop the larger muscles like legs, back and chest. Intensive aerobics training burns instant calories whereas weight training builds bigger muscles and boosts our metabolism. Bigger muscles need more energy to function so you will not only burn more calories working out but also burn more calories throughout the day doing the same regular activities.
If possible try to do exercises in the morning rather than in the late evening so that your metabolism is boosted right from the time you get up in the morning and your body keeps on burning more calories all through the day – thus helping you to lose more of your stomach fat. But never skip exercises, if for any reason whatsoever you are unable to do exercises in the morning then better do it in the evening. Obviously, exercising any time in a day is certainly better than not doing exercises at all. Exercises definitely help in reaching your stomach fat loss goals much quicker and not only helps you to lose tummy fat faster but also helps you to maintain a perfect physique all through your life.
2. Healthy Eating to Get Rid Of Stomach Fat Fast – Eat healthy foods that contain more of proteins and fiber but less calories (fat and carbohydrates). Proteins will help build your muscles but gives less calories. It is also seen that a high protein diet keeps you full for a longer time. Fiber is indigestible by our system so does not contribute any calories but definitely helps in filling up our stomach.
Eat 5 to 6 small meals a day rather than 3 or 4 large meals to keep your metabolic rate high. Never skip meals because it slows down our metabolism and results in weight loss rather than fat loss – remember there is a difference between weight loss and fat loss. Drink a lot of water as it helps in keeping your system clean, helps in the absorption of vital nutrients and most importantly do not contribute any calories.
3. Choose a Genuine and Effective Fat Loss Program to Lose Stomach Fat Permanently – The above two points were just a rough overview of what you need to do to get rid of your stomach fat or rather reduce your body fat. But if you are genuinely serious about getting rid of your belly fat fast then you need a complete and detailed fat loss plan where everything is written in details. That is you can know from the fat loss program exactly which foods will help you in reducing or burning your belly fat faster and which foods will hinder the process. You will be able to know exactly which, when, how and what type of exercises and workouts will help you to burn your stubborn tummy fat faster as you definitely desire and thus help you to get back to a perfect physique in a month or two.
Remember, today Fat Loss is no more an abstract thing or process. In fact extensive scientific research all over the world has made Losing Fat a Science. So, to be able to lose fat faster and effectively you need to know the exact laws and rules of the science of fat loss. And this is what only an expert or professional of this field can tell you. So you need to choose a guide or program written by an expert in this field who can give you an effective plan based upon the laws so that you can achieve your stomach fat loss goals quick and without failure or trial.
It is frequently seen that persons who attempt to lose belly fat without proper guidance of an expert, tries a few days or months and then quits frustrated not seeing any positive results. This is because they do not know the scientific rules that govern our metabolism and fat loss, thus wasting a lot of their precious time doing trial with different ways that they have heard or seen here and there at different times – only to be disheartened and leave. So if you really want to lose your stomach fat fast without going through any frustration and wastage of your valuable time then start on the right note – choose a good Fat Loss Guide. Enjoy your journey to lose stomach fat and get back to perfect shape!

Burglar walks free after judge gives him one last chance
5:13pm Thursday 22nd November 2012 in News By Joe Willis, Regional Chief Reporter
A BURGLAR who climbed through a house window while the occupants slept has walked free from court after a judge gave him one last chance.
Daniel Drury stole vodka, £35 from a purse, a pot of £1 coins, credit cards and chocolate after breaking into a house in High Street West, Redcar, on August 26.
The burglary happened in the middle of the night when the couple living in the property were asleep upstairs.
The 24-year-old, of Lingdale Grove, Redcar, was arrested after his fingerprints were found at the scene.
He admitted the crime when interviewed by police, saying he had earlier drunk more than five litres of cider and taken sleeping pills.
After the burglary, he fell asleep in a bush on a golf course and had little recollection of the incident, Teesside Crown Court heard today (Thursday).
Julian Gaskin, mitigating, said his client wanted to apologise for the moment of "absolute stupidity".
He added: "This is a young man who can do things. He tells me he wants to get an education and he's quite clearly motivated to change."
The court heard Drury, who pleaded guilty at an earlier hearing, had eight previous convictions for 11 offences, including criminal damage, theft and causing racially aggravated alarm and distress.
Sentencing him to ten months, suspended for two years, Judge Peter Armstrong told the defendant: "This is your first dwelling burglary - it better be your last because otherwise you will be placed in prison for a considerable time."
Drury was made subject to an 18-month supervision order, a six-month alcohol treatment order and a four-month curfew.

Judge says "there u go son,pat on the back,see u again soon".
The innocent are the people who's homes they rob,not the person commiting the (can I say)crime!
The justice system need to learn from mistakes by not being so soft,can't they see why there's so many re-offenders?
Make prison a hateful strict place.

If the prisons we're a lot harsher in the uk like they are in america then less people would want to re-offend.

Was just having an opinion.
From what u say then prison should be tougher everywhere.
If people are going to re-offend then its worth while for them as they know they'l just get a slap on wrist

RobAycliffe says...
Well no actually, that doesn't follow at all. The US has one of the harshest prison systems in the 'Western' world. A quarter of the world's prisoners are in US jails. Overcrowding and brutal conditions are the norm. But that doesn't prevent re-offending, as the numbers show.
If you want to stop re-offending then you have to rehabilitate.

East Chapel Hill historically a dominant program in boys lacrosse expects nothing different this year as the Wildcats already have a commanding lead in NCHSAA Conference V.
East returns 12 seniors, including captains Ian Levin, whos already committed to Hampden-Sydney, midfielder Kelley Scroggs and four-year starter Daniel Wittekind.
Thursday night in Durham County Memorial Stadium, Easts physical play proved to be too much for Northern Durham as the Wildcats (6-3, 4-0) dominated in an 18-1 victory. It was the Wildcats sixth straight win against NCHSAA public school teams. (After a season-opening loss to No. 1 Cardinal Gibbons, East has lost only to two out-of-state prep teams.)
Easts intense defensive pressure gave no breathing room for the Knights (1-5, 0-3), while its offense had no issue finding the back of the net.
East has the top two scorers in the Triangle, led by Levin (31 goals and 26 assists) and Drew Monroe (26 goals, 9 assists). Chris Cox (20 goals) gives East a third player among the Triangles top 10 scorers.
After losing in the third round of the 2013 state playoffs last year, early by Easts standards, the Wildcats want to break the mold on what lacrosse is supposed to be and move towards what they think it should be, Wittekind said.
Senior Skylar Nicole believes a change in coaching staff led by first-year head coach Dominic Koplar, a history teacher at East has strengthened the Wildcats collective drive, and that the staffs extreme investment in the team creates a competitive environment.
So far thats paid off handsomely for East. It already has a lead in Conference V on Riverside (2-4, 1-2) and Jordan (3-4, 2-1) both of whom East has beaten head-to-head. While Jordan remains within striking distance with six conference games to go, the team with the best chance to catch the Cats would be Carrboro (4-2, 2-2).
East plays at Carrboro on April 8 and hosts the Jaguars May 2 for what would be the last regular-season game for both teams. Jordan, which defeated Carrboro 12-5 on March 21, hosts East on April 29.

Right Kind of Wrong: Actor Ryan Kwanten Charms at Toronto Film Festival, New Romantic Comedy Film Premieres
You know him best as that sexually charged heartthrob in HBO's True Blood. Yes, Ryan Kwanten – armed with his physique, sun-kissed hair, Aussie charm and Oakley sunglasses – is almost always cast in films, TV shows and other projects as that prototypical ladies man. A bad boy, if you will. Well he's at it again. Taking the starring role in romantic comedy, The Right Kind of Wrong, Oakley's star actor graced the grand premiere of the film at the prestigious Toronto Film Festival in September. Going down at the spectacular stadium-style venue, Roy Thomson Hall in Downtown Toronto, the premiere was a super packed affair, with film aficionados, the cast, crew and associated companies in attendance to make for a truly world-class event.

More guns, murders
In the Sept. 14 news article "Police review state's new 'save the gun' law," Sen. Andrew Brock said, "Critics who think it safer if there are fewer guns on the streets are misinformed. The data shows more guns means a better behaved society. Gun bans don't work. Bad guys aren't going to pay attention to gun bans."
Actually, Brock is the one who is misinformed. A massive peer-reviewed study, published this month in the American Journal of Public Health, found that the greater the number of gun owners in the United States, the higher the gun murder rate. Researchers examined 29 years of gun ownership and concluded that more gun owners correlates to more gun murder and suicide.
Just who is trying to ban guns?

Panettiere was born Aug. 21, 1989, just outside of New York City. Her mother, a former actress and model, thought she would score some nice baby pictures out of seeing her only daughter in commercials, so she began bringing her on auditions. Thus an 11-month-old Panettiere began her career in a commercial for Playskool. At four years old, she landed a regular role as Sarah Roberts on the daytime soap opera "One Life to Live" (ABC, 1968-2012), where she stayed until 1996 when she moved over to CBS to play Lizzie Spaulding on "Guiding Light" (CBS, 1952-2009).

Tonawanda News —
A Lockport man was operating a boat without its navigation lights on when he struck his vessel into another boat Saturday night on the Niagara River.
The boat was traveling westbound at about 10:30 p.m. when it struck the second, eastbound-moving vessel.
"It wasn't a head-on collision, more of a T-bone," Lt. Fredric Foels said.
The Lockport man hit the boat's windshield and was knocked unconscious. No other passengers were on the boat, and it erratically coasted in circles before crashing into the Grand Island shore.
The man suffered severe facial injuries and was transported to Erie County Medical Center, where he was put in a medically induced coma Saturday night.
The second boat, which was occupied by a male and a female, was also cracked open in the crash and took on water. The pair was able to nurse the boat to the City of Tonawanda shore near Niawanda Park.
The woman on the second boat had minor injuries, police said.
The large boat was towed from the Tonawanda side at 12:30 a.m. with vegetation stuck into a gash on its port side.
City of Tonawanda police, the U.S. Coast Guard and the Erie County Sheriff's Department helicopter were involved in the rescue.
The Tonawanda police boat was on the river for Canal Fest and was able to assist the Lockport man whose boat crashed into Grand Island, while officers on land assisted the victims who had made their way to the city's shore.
"We were lucky the police boat was still on the water. It got there very quickly," Foels said.
Foels said the investigation of the crash is continuing, but witnesses have told police that the striking boat did not have navigation lights on.
The names of the three boaters are not being released.

Not Everyone Can Breastfeed
A small percentage of new mothers are unable to breastfeed despite all efforts due to
Insufficient Glandular Tissue. This website's purpose
is to call attention to this condition, provide resources,
and help mothers in this situation to make connections with others through their
stories.What is Insufficient Glandular Tissue?
In the breast, the glandular cells are responsible for milk production.
Normally there is an increase in glandular tissue growth during both puberty and pregnancy,
especially the first eight weeks of pregnancy.
This growth is in response to stimulation by progesterone.
In some women the amount of glandular tissue is not enough to produce the milk required to nourish a child. Women with INSUFFICIENT Glandular Tissue may
have experienced a lack of breast changes during puberty and/or pregnancy, no engorgement, and a
low milk supply requiring donor milk or formula supplementation for their child to survive. Do you think you have IGT? Please read our
self-diagnosis page for help.

Your boss won't care if you're a few minutes late to work tomorrow morning. Set your alarms, grab your breakfast and tune in to the big event beginning at 8 a.m. PT on ESPN 2/ Univision. Not by a TV? Follow the conversation on Twitter using #atDraw.
Who knew Sam Cronin and Ty Harden were master chefs?
The duo along with some members of the Earthquakes' front office made lunch for families staying at the Ronald McDonald House at Stanford on Wednesday.
Okay - so maybe they should stick to their day jobs, but we have to give it to them: they do dish out some mean quesadillas and BBQ chicken sandwiches.

While the Quakes won't be in Kansas City this year for MLS Cup, you can still watch the marquee event with other Quakes fans.
Join Street Soccer USA at McTeague's Saloon in San Francisco on Saturday for their viewing party, beginning at 12:30 p.m. The Quakes' Street Team will be there raffling off autographed jerseys and more.
Not enough Quakes in your life? Don't worry, only 94 days until we're all back together on March 9.
Thankgiving is tomorrow, and there is nothing we are more thankful for than you.
We decided to take the Earthquakes twist on Turkey Day this year and reenact the classic Norman Rockwell painting.
We need your help though. Caption our turkey dinner in comments below with your own witty responses. We'll choose our favorite to receive seven autographed player cards.
So, get your creative juices going before you sink into that Turkey coma. We can't wait to see what you come up with. I mean, you do have Muma's stink-face to work with...
We'll announce the winner on Tuesday, December 3. Happy Quakesgiving!
Congratulations to our winner Carlos Ferreira! His caption and play on words "It's not a fowl, it's a turkey " had us cracking up. Thanks to all who participated in our Thanksgiving Caption Contest. We sure do have some creative fans!
The San Jose Earthquakes are a proud local sponsor of this year's St. Jude's Give thanks. Walk at the San Francisco Zoo on Saturday, November 23, at 8 a.m. The walk, which benefits the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, is completely free for participants to register. However, people are encouraged to donate to raise money to help save kids battling cancer and other deadly diseases.
Join our team and make sure check out our Quakes Lace Up station at the event. We'll be passing out green shoelaces in honor of local patient Jeremy Kong.
Earlier this year, Major League Soccer announced the addition of the 20th team to the league - New York City FC.
Most thought that 20 would be the magic number for 2015. The 2013 USL Pro champions Orlando City SC had a different idea in mind.
Fighting to build a world-class stadium in downtown Orlando was just another goal on their list. Their main priority was to join the other 20 teams in the top league in the United States and Canada. They wanted to become an MLS team by 2015.
And today, they accomplished that goal.
Congratulations to Orlando City SC. It's a big day for Major League Soccer, and we're excited to be a part of it.
Mark it down. #MLS21 #OrlandoIsReady https://t.co/jkVajeVaxa

CLOVER — The Lady Blue Eagles tennis team defeated Mauldin 4-2 in opening-round 4A playoff action.
"It was a big win to start the playoffs," head coach Renee Farris said of the grueling Oct. 29 match at the Clover High School tennis courts.
"We won three of four third-set matches," said Farris.
The Lady Blue Eagles were beaten 6-0 by Irmo in the second round of the playoffs, Farris said, but the CHS girls made their presence felt, playing competitive matches.
In the Mauldin match, Farris said No. 4 singles player, Anna Miszkiewicz, and No. 5, Anna Drechsler, lost the first set and fought back to win.
Miszkiewicz said staying with her style of play as a human retaining wall works to her advantage, especially when back-and-forth volleying extends the game.
The Lady Blue Eagle mainstay pressed Mauldin's Emma Delaby to the limit, losing the first match 4-6 before rallying to capture the second match 6-4 and prevailing 10-3 in the tiebreaker.
"I keep the ball in play and continue to return shots, waiting for my opponent to make a mistake," Miszkiewicz said. "I would say the lob is my best shot."
Several deep Miszkiewicz lobs to the baseline forced Delaby into game-changing, and sometimes set-changing miscues.
The Lady Blue Eagles' No. 1 singles player, Harriet Hall, cruised 6-2 in the first set and 1-0 in the second set by injury default.
Hall said there was no particular emphasis in one phase of the game in the opening playoff match. "I played with confidence in all phases of the game," she said.
In her first year of playing No. 1 singles, Hall has developed the confidence and the mindset that goes with it.
"You have to accept the challenge of competing against our opponent's No. 1 singles player," she said. "You have to keep your focus."
Occupying the No. 2 singles slot, Clover's Corey Brom dominated her opponent in the first set, winning 6-0. Brom lost 7-5 in set No. 2 before losing a 10-8 nail-biter in the tiebreaker.
"It was a hard fought match that could've gone either way," Brom said.
After playing the No. 5 singles last year, the CHS standout elevated her play to reach No. 2. "I worked hard to improve my game and work my way up to No. 2," she said.
In other singles results, Clover's No. 3, Grace Miller, was beaten 6-3, 6-1, while teammate Anna Drechsler survived a marathon match by scores of 3-6, 7-6 (1), 10-7.
Holley Rowland and Ali King were victorious at No. 2 doubles by scores of 6-3, 3-6, 10-7.
Farris lauded the players for laying it on the line throughout the season. "We have a great group of girls," she said. "They've worked hard to improve their game."

By Tim Graham
PHOENIX -- Based on the fan reaction I see on Twitter, Facebook and in my email inbox, the prevailing theme about Tarvaris Jackson is that he must not have the wherewithal to learn the Buffalo Bills' playbook.
That's a totally unfair assessment, a pure guess from those struggling to find a good reason why the quarterback the Bills spent a seventh-round draft pick to acquire and are paying $1.75 million has been deactivated for every game.
For insight, I asked Bills coach Chan Gailey to address this unable-to-learn-the-playbook sentiment specifically. Here is Gailey's response Monday at the team's hotel in Phoenix:
"I don't think that is in any way true. He works every day with David [Lee] and learning the calls and stands back there, doing the mental gymnastics of playing the position. But until you see him take reps with our guys, with our receivers, throwing our routes and doing our reads with our protection calls, you don't know if he's got it. Mentally, it's easy to stand back there, but doing it when you got 3.8 seconds to get it all done, it's a little bit different. It wouldn't be fair to put him in there right now."
Jackson is in a bad spot because he was acquired a week before the regular season. Once the season commences, the starting quarterback gets almost all of the practice snaps, and the primary backup gets a handful.
Fans are curious about Jackson because the Bills obviously identified backup quarterback as an area of concern when they traded for him and cut Vince Young. The timing of the move also saved Tyler Thigpen's job.
With starting quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick playing erratically -- he has five touchdowns and no interceptions with a 112.1 passer rating in two victories, seven touchdowns, eight interceptions and a 68.7 passer rating in three losses -- many fans want him replaced by someone, but not Thigpen.
That makes Jackson's unavailability a warm topic.
"He's learning," Gailey said. "I mean, he can't get reps. That's the problem with being the third quarterback. You can't get reps in practice. There's just no way to get reps. I hate it for him. I hate it for us. There's just no way to get around it right now."

Firefighters from Waterloo, Valley and Omaha all responded to a fire inside a seed manufacturing plant in Waterloo early Friday morning.
Just after midnight, crews found smoke billowing from a back door at Syngenta Seed Research, but couldn't find the fire itself for almost an hour. Investigators say the flames ignited inside a faulty seed drying oven.
The fire was quickly extinguished. No one was injured.

I'm reading "The Big Squeeze: Tough Times for the American Workers," by New York Time labor reporter Steven Greenhouse. I'm only a couple of chapters into the book, but already, the numbers make me wanna holler.
Worker productivity is up 60 percent since 1979. Not that it did the worketing stiff much good.
Wages during that period for 80 percent of U.S. workers -- non-supervisors working in the private sector -- are up 1 percent after being adjusted for inflation. Wages for men are acutally down 5 percent.
Who made out? Stockholders. Corporate profits from 2001-2007 jumped an average of 13 percent a year.
The working poor are getting hit especially hard. And there are lots of them. Almost one-quarter of the work force earns less than $10 a hour. Yeah, some of them are students, but many are a mom or dad trying to support a family. Raise a family of four on those wages and you're below the poverty line. Which is growing, by the way, up 15 percent, or 5.6 million people, from 2000 to 2006.
Greenhouse's findings are summed up by his Times colleague Paul Krugman:
"It's a great economy if you're a high-level corporate executive or someone who owns a lot of stoock. For most other Americans, economic growth is a spectator sport."
Part One of a Greenhouse interview on Democracy Now! is posted above. Part Two is below. They both run about 10 minues each.
Here's a book review from the New York Times. Read it and weep.

HD picture, indescribable quality
What kind of picture do you want? If you answered, "a good one," we're going to have to mark that as incorrect. That's because the picture on Sony's KDL46HX750 goes beyond "good," thank to their X-Reality Engine that analyzes every scene and adjusts the picture so that skin tones, landscapes, plants, buildings, explosions, and… well, you get the idea… all appear true to life. When you add in Sony's MotionFlow XR 480, you get less blurring during fast action -- so everything you're now seeing clearly (from camera movement to car chases), also appears more cleanly than ever on the large, 46" screen. So why is such indescribable picture important on the HX750? Because with built-in Wi-Fi, Bravia Apps, and a web browser built for the TV, there's a lot of content to see.

It takes a While to set up, especially the Correct Picture Settings for personal needs.The Picture is very Bright in the VIVID Mode, but after playing with the Different Settings its GREAT. The biggest Problem for the Above, the TV comes WITHOUT the INSTRUCTION MANUAL, except HOW TO CONNECT THE TV TO ANTENA NETWORK VCRDVD.....Later you learn that its a BUILT IN INFO CENTER, but its to LATE.....You have to call Sony get in touch with a Technician, and Step by Step LEARN WHAT TO DO, to make the TV Work. The Internet Connection is fast, but to see your Email, the Letters are Small, you have to go near the TV to see it, even after Zooming. to connect to Netflix is fast , thanks to the Special Netflix Key on the Remote.... I didn't use the 3DPandora and other Stuff yet, but I assume it works fine too The Technical SUPPORT of SONY is very GOOD, they are very Polite and USEFUL, so in the end you are a WINNER......just have PATIENCE........dont give up......

My girls have Olympic fever. Yes even though my daughters have never really shown much interest (or to be quite honest, aptitude) for gymnastics and have no experience other than participating in a tot-tumbling class back when they were in preschool, they have been inspired by the Fab Five, the US girls gymnastics team's official nickname in case you haven't watched any of the seemingly continuous Olympic coverage or been exposed to the masterful marketing. (My younger daughter mistakenly thought the team's nickname was the "Fat Five" and was enraged that anyone would bestow such a title on such trim and toned girls).
While watching the gymnastics competition my daughters donned leotards, headbands and legwarmers and proceeded to show me their moves (apparently in their minds, 80's disco and gymnastics go well together). It didn't matter that neither of my children can actually do a handstand or a cartwheel, my girls ran around the family room arranging and rearranging the couch cushions and ottoman as "equipment" and taking turns being "Gabby" and "Jordyn" and "Aly." I was enlisted as coach and judge and together we made construction paper numbers that I held in the air after each "routine" was completed.
It was amazing to see how viewing the Olympics inspired my children and their play. I have no idea if my girls will sustain their interest in gymnastics, but I appreciated the upsurge in imagination and activity. I loved how it prompted my children to use all sorts of stuff lying around the house to create their version of a balance beam, a vault, and even a scoreboard. I loved how it motivated my girls to move and left them sweaty and red-faced after running and jumping and somersaulting. I loved that it stirred my daughters to feel empathy as they witnessed what these incredible athletes could achieve and the dejection when they didn't. I loved how mesmerized my girls were by the montages showing the gymnasts as (younger) children and the descriptions of family and friends regarding the sacrifice, discipline, and ultimately the joy of achieving greatness in the form of a gold medal.
And yet even though my daughters watched in awe, they don't fully comprehend how rare and extraordinary Olympic athletes are (nor the focus, ability, and determination required of them). Sure, my girls realize these individuals are exceptionally talented and have to train especially hard, but they also believe that everyone is capable of excellence (case in point, while watching Wimbledon earlier this summer they commentated with certainty that my husband could have defeated Federer...). My children don't see any barriers or borders, they only see potential and possibility. They aren't jaded, they aren't cynical, they aren't even always realistic (they are however sarcastic, as we taught them that trait early….maybe even a little too early). My girls believe anything is possible, they believe in trying your best, they believe in a little magic, they believe in happy endings. And so they believe in going for the gold. And although I doubt either of my daughters will medal in any sport, I have no doubt that they possess the potential for greatness in something….I just don't think it will involve somersaults.

Florida Modern Day Slavery Museum Comes to Central Florida
January 21, 2014 | WMFE--NOTE: THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED.
The Florida Modern Day Slavery Museum is coming to Rollins College Thursday and Friday. It highlights Florida's history of sometimes dismal agricultural labor conditions.
The museum will be at Rollins as part of the school's weeklong celebration of Martin Luther King Jr. Zakiya Brown is the assistant director of Rollins' Office of Multicultural Affairs. She says the museum is in a truck, so it can travel throughout the state. The vehicle also takes visitors inside the transportation – and imprisonment – of some agricultural workers. "They also show you how individuals are trafficked, when they're in this cargo truck, with, actually, the chains and the shackles that you don't think you'll still see, but they're still being utilized," Brown says.
The Coalition of Immokalee Workers created the museum in 2010 after six indictments for labor conditions in Immokalee, Florida. Case files show tomato pickers there suffered beatings, coercion and even outright imprisonment. The government has prosecuted nine such cases in Florida since 1997.
Last week, the CIW persuaded Wal-mart to join a program requiring fair working conditions for Florida tomato pickers. It's the biggest company to take part in the initiative so far.

Nebraskans appear to be making fewer late payments on their vehicle loans, and they tend to owe less than most Americans on their cars.
Two of the nation's top credit reporting bureaus recently issued different reports on trends in auto loans during the second quarter of 2009.
Experian Automotive says the number of auto loans that were delinquent by 30 days rose nearly 15 percent nationwide in the second quarter, so that 3 percent of all auto loans were 30 days past due.
But Experian says in Nebraska, the number of auto loans that were 30-days delinquent actually declined by 3 percent.
TransUnion says Nebraska had the lowest average auto debt in the nation. Nebraskans owe an average of $10,712 on their vehicles.
