The restaurant group that runs The Prado in Balboa Park and Corvette Diner in Liberty Station may operate the new Pier South hotel's restaurant, it was learned this week.
Pacifica Companies made the announcement of the possible involvement of the Cohn Restaurant Group at a City Council meeting Wednesday.
Cohn operates 15 restaurants around Southern California, including the Gaslamp Strip Club and 100 Wines. Pacifica hopes to wrap up a contract by the end of the week, said Director of Planning Allison Rolfe.
Plans for the new restaurant and hotel were discussed with a crowd of about 60 members of the community and business owners Thursday morning at an Imperial Beach Chamber of Commerce networking breakfast.
The hotel is now scheduled to open in late spring, possibly May, but the public can expect to see major portions of the hotel begin to come to life in the coming weeks and months, said Project Manager Vikram Sood.
The hotel will open gradually with 20 or 30 rooms at first, Sood said.
A job line has been established for people interested in working at the hotel. Call 619-296-9000 ext. 247 for more information.
Pacifica will start to take applications in April for about 55 available positions. A job fair will be held but has not yet been scheduled. Hourly positions will be hired 30 days prior to opening, Rolfe said.
A website for the hotel, which will include a list of jobs and job descriptions, is scheduled to launch next month.
A sales manager and interim general manager have been hired. A general manager will be hired in March.
Reservations can be made 30 days prior to opening.
A model room will be open for private tours in March.
Room rates will be fixed in March, and are expected to start at $189 a room.
"We're not going to charge $79 a room," Sood said. "That's not going to work."
The general manager position is not being advertised, but is important to the hotel's overall success, Sood said. The manager will be an ambassador to the hotel and Imperial Beach, he said, and should be someone who wants to help create vibrant life at the hotel.
"We're looking for someone with a cruise director type of personality, not just someone who is going to sit in their office and count beans," he said.
Formal events like quinceañeras and particularly weddings may be a big part of hotel business, Sood said.
"Weddings for us, we feel that's going to be a strong, strong business," he said, but the hotel is not currently taking any wedding bookings.
To market the hotel, Pacifica will target ecotourists, bicyclists and other groups known for an active lifestyle. A partnership with the Navy is currently being explored, Sood said. Pacifica will look for clientele from San Diego but also Orange County, the San Francisco Bay area, Arizona and Mexico.
To match that clientele, people should expect an upscale but approachable environment.
"Luxury's a bad term. It's upscale, it's unique, it's relevant, and it's genuine. Those are our four pillars right now," he said. "Any partner we have has to represent those four pillars. We don't want a fancy experience. We want people in their shorts going to the estuary. We want people ready to go for a bike ride on the [Bayshore] Bikeway."
Music festivals in Pier Plaza, triathlon camps, nature walks, events that partner with the Farmers Market or have a Baja cuisine or Baja wine region focus are all possibilities, Sood said.
Judy Sisson, owner of IB Trophies and Awards, said she wants to know some members of the community are able to give insight on the real Imperial Beach before a marketing campaign begins.
"We just want to know that we're respected as citizens and that we have a say in maybe a few things," Sisson told Sood during a Q&A session following his presentation.
"So it would really be nice to know that not just a couple of people have an input on how you portray our city to be. And there may be a few things that we know as locals that you guys haven't seen yet that may be a pretty place to go."
For example, she said, good places to take a walk, or little local secrets like old historic photos on the wall at Ye Olde Plank Inn.
Sood said he wants the community to be a part of the hotel.
"Please know that if we need something, we're going to look to you. And if we need a resource, we're going to look local. That's not even a question at all," he said.
Rolfe told the City Council on Wednesday that Pacifica will look for local employees for several reasons but in part to satisfy requirements of a tax credit.
Angela Frank of Advance Realty moved to Imperial Beach from San Francisco's Mission District. She thinks Imperial Beach is "a hidden gem" that most people don't know all too well.
Those who do know IB may still have a bad perception of the area, but things have changed a lot for the better since she came here two decades ago, she said.
She has heard people speculate the hotel could fail, but she thinks it can succeed and even benefit waterfront property value, especially if Pacifica can develop a partnership with the Navy.
"I think it's good they're going to be partnering with the Navy cause I was concerned with them being able to keep those rooms full," she said.
Economic turmoil delayed construction of Pier South after approval was granted in 2008, Rolfe said. After the Imperial Beach Redevelopment Agency purchased the hotel property for $7 million and sold it back to Pacifica for $1, the project started to move forward again. Seacoast Inn was demolished in fall 2010.
Since the hotel's foundation was poured and construction started in 2011, building a parking structure below sea level has been like construction "in a big, giant bath tub" caused delay. A Marriott Autograph Collection partnership has also caused delay.

In Detail
MySQL has introduced a Plugin API with its latest version – a robust, powerful, and easy way of extending the server functionality with loadable modules on the fly. But until now anyone wishing to develop a plugin would almost certainly need to dig into the MySQL source code and search the Web for missing bits of the information.
This is the first book on the MySQL Plugin API. Written together with one of the Plugin API primary architects, it contains all the details you need to build a plugin. It shows what a plugin should contain and how to compile, install, and package it. Every chapter illustrates the material with thoroughly explained source code examples.
Starting from the basic features, common to all plugin types, and the structure of the plugin framework, this book will guide you through the different plugin types, from simple examples to advanced ones. Server monitoring, full-text search in JPEG comments, typo-tolerant searches, getting the list of all user variables, system usage statistics, or a complete storage engine with indexes – these and other plugins are developed in different chapters of this book, demonstrating the power and versatility of the MySQL Plugin API and explaining the intricate details of MySQL Plugin programming.
A hands-on guide for MySQL application developers to creating feature-rich plug-ins
This book is written in a hands-on style that actively involves you while you read through its chapters. In every chapter you, along with the author, will be implementing one or more fully working example plugins. The process is accompanied with a detailed step-by-step explanation of the code, at the same time providing you with resources to create your own plugins.
Who this book is for
If you are a MySQL application developer or a programmer who wants to interface with MySQL server, this book is for you. Basic knowledge of C/C++, SQL, and MySQL in particular is assumed in the book, but no deep familiarity with any of the topics is required.

I found out about this through
From the Washington Post
: New US Federal Government guidelines urge all women who could potentially get pregnant-- that is, any woman between menarche and menopause-- should modify their behaviour in preparation for pregnancy.
I don't think that much the advice given to women is bad in and of itself-- it's basically general health advice that applies well to anyone (refrain from smoking, limit alcohol, get exercise, take folic acid etc), but in the current US climate in which attempts to limit reproductive control are rife, this smacks of wanting to make a woman's body public property not only when she is pregnant, but for her entire reproductive life. I'm particularly concerned about the suggestions that women should avoid certain workplaces simply because they could potentially get pregnant at any time.
I think the idea of doctors asking women about their use of birth control at any visit is pretty good, however, so long as she is actually offerred the option of going onto birth control (preferably covered by health insurance), rather than simply being told to put her
fetus before any other aspect of her life.
I wonder why this doesn't also recommend that men stop smoking to protect all those potential and actual fetuses around-- after all, second-hand smoke is more dangerous than smoking yourself, and any man having a cigarette could unwittinginly blow their smoke into the nostrils of a potential baby vessel. This couldn't possibly be about just controlling women's behaviour, could it?

...or, heck: suggesting that men always use condoms when NOT seeking to procreate to prevent transmitting STIs to potential mothers which can create very serious, known harms to fetuses and infants.
Or to halt their drinking, or to be monogamous when attempting conception, or to get annual sexual healthcare screenings, or....
... yeah.
Member # 27901
What I find really offensive is that this seems to imply, to me, that women who can't or (like me) don't ever WANT to carry a pregnancy to term are not as deserving of healthcare as a woman who may someday become a mother.

'At Montefiore Medical Center in Bronx, N.Y., a form that's filled out when checking a patient's height, weight and blood pressure prompts nurses to ask women, "Do you smoke, and do you plan to become pregnant in the next year? And if not, what birth control are you using?" '
That line makes it sound more like opening women up about what kind of birth control they're using, rather than trying to make them into baby factories. Adding questions about pregnancies and birth control to standard doctor-patient questionnaires can't be harmful, and may be helpful in encouraging women to ask more questions about their options.
Reading the rest of the article, the new guidelines are apparently in place to try and lower the infant mortality rate by making women more aware of the risks of unplanned pregnancies.
Member # 20094
I'm all for encouraging people (people, meaning women AND men) to try and lead healthier lives, but the article just gives the impression that women are only "baby vessels" and nothing else. What about the men who contribute to those pregnancies? Their overall health will have an effect on the health of the baby as well, as has already been pointed out.
This just sounds like one more way to try and control women's bodies and behaviour. Grrr.
Miss Lauren
Member # 25983
"All women should consider themselves pre-pregnant.", says the article. All women between their first menstrual period and menopause should take the same precautions that women trying to concieve should?
Are they out of their minds?! There is no way in
I am going to consider myself "pre-pregnant". I'm 18 friggin years old! Take folic acid supplements, avoid workplace hazards. Oh, seethe. Let's not even take into account the people they might have offended who, say, have fertility problems, or women who are childfree by choice.
Pre-pregnant. Whoa. The fact that such a concept exists frightens me.
Member # 28185
I don't know, I got a completely different impression from the article. My doctor always asks if I'm pregnant, then asks if I'm using birth control, or if I've done anything that could cause me to become pregnant. When I answer no to all of the above questions, they double-check.
Really, the guidelines are badly phrased, but the higher rate of infant mortality is worrying, and women should be made more aware of what they can do to prevent unplanned pregnancies, and how to take care of their bodies if they think pregnancy is possible. From the last lines of the article, it sounded like the guidelines are mostly asking health care professionals to really ask questions about what women are planning to do to prevent getting pregnant, as opposed to just shrugging it off.
No doubt, the guidelines were written by the same federal commitees who take the legal precaution of translating everything into Martian before they release it to the public, and are apparently studying the culture of the Planet Zoog rather than the actual human race, but odds are, the effects of said guidelines are going to be slightly more careful questioning by doctors, and an increase in folic acid in women's formula supplements.
Member # 94
This is what part of the article says-- and I don't think you'll find anyone here disagreeing with the idea that offerring birth control to women is a bad thing.
However, there is MUCH more to this than that. This basically says that there are a bunch of behaviours that are widely socially accepted, from which women should refrain between menarche and menopause.
Infant mortality is in fact highest amongst lower income women who cannot afford health care. If these people were serious about the health of women and their unborn babies, they would implement universal health care, rather than telling all women that they should modify their behaviour just in case.
Member # 28071
Here's my take on this....does anyone else notice that the people who have the highest infant mortality percentage due to socioeconomic class are the very same people who will be completely
by this whole movement?
If you don't have health insurance coverage, health care in general is going to slack, not just prenatal care. The same women who are "putting off or forgoing care" are forgoing care of any kind, including but not restricted to keeping up to date on vaccinations, keeping chronic conditions under control, and taking folic acid supplements. Having a doctor try to prepare these women for pregnency before they become so is a null point...since the doctor won't see them anyway
as they have no health care
. The whole system is a huge catch 22, and will solve little of the problem.
A better approach would be to offer basic helthcare to those who can't afford insurance so these women can receive the care they need...and to promote awareness to everyone regardless of gender on safe sex practices. But no...that might get in the way of the pro-abstinance adgenda where abstinance is somehow synonomous with pro family...so lets just make all women follow a different standard of living.

To open a different can of worms, universal health care is universally harmful. Do you really want the same government in charge of taking care of our roads (which are in such marvelous condition) in charge of taking care of your body? Do you really want medical thlb and their are no rewards for hard work? Federal health care is the reason my boyfriend lives his life with constant knee pain, and will probably have to get surgery on his knees in his 30's, and the reason he can no longer serve in the military.
That being said, I'm all for cutting government pork and policing welfare better so there's money to open more free health clinics, and using some of that pork-saved money to pay real doctors to take care of these people. The goal of social spending should be to provide a helping hand so that the poor can better their situation, but the way it is now, it's a crutch that supports poverty, rather than the people living in poverty.
Member # 1386
Canada has universal health care. Our infant mortality rate is far below the U.S. which rivals some third world contries. Universal hearth care means middle and low income Canadians not facing bankruptcy or denial of medical services due to a major health crisis. It also means people can schedule regular check ups and doctors can practice more preventative medicine rather than cleaning up after the fact. The fact is universal health care works in most civilized countries on this planet. When you hear the Canadian health care system being disparaged, you are hearing lies with malice of forthought spread by vested interests in the U.S. bent on reducing the average U.S. standard of living.

Sir, do you smoke? Do you have a pregnant partner? Do you plan on being around a pregnant partner anytime in the coming year? What method of birth control are you using? Are you taking responsibility for that birth control, or is your partner? Do you have a fund set aside for child support payments, just incase? Are you up to date on your reproductive health? Have you been screened? Are you seeing a psychiatrist?

Sithney, I don't know of any data which supports what you're saying about socialized medicine. None. Anyone who even took a cursory glance at global poverty rates and the general state of health of those living in countries with socialized medicine and of those living with privatized systems --
here in the states -- could see that pretty readily. And how hard someone works often has very little to do with whether or not they can access healthcare in a privatized system. As well, your ideas about poverty and living in poverty in this country (and why you think we don't have enough clinics, which is certainly an interesting approach, given where most of the debt in this country lies has nada to do with welfare) are something I'd suggest you do a bit more research on.
That said, opening a "different can of worms" is hijacking a thread. Let's stay on topic.

Member # 25425
I don't intend on ever having children. I wonder if that means there is no need for me to be in optimal health.
I find the assumption that a woman's value to society and personal identity is hinged on the ability to bear children only pretty offensive. Not only does this leave us looking like we have no purpose besides being the vessels of future children, but it is also hugely discriminating to every woman who has either not the option or simply not the desire to become a mother.
On a side note regarding the universal health care, I can't help but find it pretty short-sighted to think that it would solve the problem of lower-income people going without insurance. The system in Germany, for example, is meant to provide healthcare for everyone in theory, but in practice the system is so bankrupt that doctors now have to charge every patient an extra 10 Euro every three months, regardless of the type of insurance, simply because there is no money. Which, of course, leads to people not going to the doctor at all, even if they are in dire need of medical attention, because they just do not have that cash.

(If y'all want to have a big discussion about public and privatized medicine, why don't you start a new thread, eh? Just good netiquette, as that's really not what Beppie's post was about.)
Member # 25425
Sorry 'bout that. Didn't want to derail the topic. Though I think that the reason some of us felt compelled to veer into that direction is the fact that the article is trying to propose a solution to infant mortality, but is attacking the problem from the wrong end. People who can afford health care are already seeking it out, whether or not they are planning on a pregnancy. It's the people who can't afford to see a doctor to begin with who end up with less than perfect health conditions, and their situation won't be helped by this proposal.
Anyway. If anyone is up for a real discussion on this topic-though I really don't know if anywhere on this board is even the right place for this- let's take it elsewhere.

(Try the general health forum!)
Infant mortality is such a complex issue, especially in the states.
There are SO many things we can look to as to why we have the worst infant mortality rate in the western world. Poverty is the obvious biggie, and lack of access to both healthcare, sound nutrition and the like as a result is an obvious major cause.
But there are loads of other factors, too. For instance, a big reason that teen pregnancies often result in less healthy babies is because of young women -- including those who DO have available healthcare -- not seeking out pre-natal care. Sometimes, that''s because (for those who can get and afford it) teens just don't know that they need it or when, but many times, it's because the teens are trying to hide a pregnancy as long as possible, or are sustaining a pregnency they didn't want and don't really want to sustain in the first place. So, so, SO many reasons this is all the case.
But I do think the above guidelines send a pretty clear message about both the state of women's rights per autonomy over their bodies in the U.S., and how the U.S. prioritizes women's health in general.
I'm not going to prepare my body for pregnancy if I have no interest in becoming pregnant. Sure, rape stats given what they are, the state of abortion services and birth control services and access being what they are (much of which COULD be made far better by the feds, but they've little interest in such, and obviously, have a strong interest against such in some regards), I may well become pregnant whether I like it or not; I (or any woman) may well find myself in a position at some point where I don't get a choice about staying pregnant or not.
But HELL if I'm going to use my energy to "prepare" my body for something I'm not interested in rather than to do what I can to make sure I get to choose that in the first place, get the very care they're talking about whether I want to breed or not, et cetera.
And it's a nice red herring, anyway, courtesy of our administration: let's send a message that shifts the blame for infant mortality and health rates off of us, and , per usual, unto women.
Member # 94
A pretty important update:
here is the CDC report
that the Washington Post article is based on.
It turns out (and I'm sorry for not researching this thoroughly to begin with) that the actual report does not mention treating all women as "pre-pregnant" beings-- that is simply the idea that the Washington Post wants to promote.
This is still bad-- clearly a very prominent newspaper has deliberately misinterpreted the policy in order to promote the idea that women's bodies should be reduced to baby-making machines, and that women have sole responsibility for any problem their fetus/baby might have. Like me, a lot of people are just going to read the Washington Post article (I only found out about the actual report through a blog), and that is going to influence their views about women and pregnancy.
However, the original report does not suggest that-- in fact, in keeping with what we've been saying here, it notes that one of the big problems is indeed women not having viable access to health care and contraception.

Well, that's a nice relief then.
And The Post... it's unsurprising that was their presentation of it. It's a very conservative paper.

Disability Etiquette Guide
Use Person-First Terms
Disability etiquette begins with using terms that communicate
For example:
Why? Sue's personhood is not disabled. She happens to have a disability.
Why? The wheelchair does not control John. John controls the wheelchair.
Reference a person's disability only if it is relevant to his situation.
More person-first
More on Disability Etiquette
- Don't ask "What's wrong with you?" or "How long have you been like that?"
Speak directly and respectfully to a person with a disability rather than to their interpreter, attendant, companion, friend or family member.
Greet a person with a service animal first, and only approach the animal if invited to do so. Service animals are not pets.
Ask before taking any sort of action to help someone. If you offer assistance, wait until the offer is accepted. Then listen or ask for instructions.
Use "accessible parking" or "accessible stall" instead of "handicapped parking" and "handicapped stall."
Do not portray people with disabilities as overly courageous, brave, special, or superhuman. This sounds as if it is unusual for them to have talents and skills or to live life like everyone else.
Listen attentively to people whose disability affects their speech. Wait for them to finish. If necessary, ask short questions that require short answers, or that can be answered with a nod of the head. Never pretend to understand; instead repeat what you have understood and allow the person to respond. Never talk down or shout at a person. Speak in a normal tone of voice.
- Do not pat a person who uses a wheelchair on the head or shoulder or lean against or place your hand on their wheelchair. People with disabilities think of their mobility devices as extensions of their bodies.
Identify yourself and others who may be with you when meeting a person with a visual disability. When conversing in a group, remember to identify the person to whom you are speaking.
Do not feel uncomfortable about using expressions such as "taking a walk" with a person who uses a wheelchair or "see you later" with a person who is blind. The meaning is understood.

Two of the strongest traits EJ Manuel brings to the Buffalo Bills are intelligence and a quarterback's charisma that makes his teammates want to play with him and for him.
So did Ryan Fitzpatrick.
Bills legend Jim Kelly is aware of this. But when it comes to finally finding a franchise quarterback to replace him, Kelly sees potential in Manuel's arrival.
The Bills' opening-day quarterback will be the 11th starter since Kelly retired, and the list is ugly.
"I think I'm as hopeful as every fan in Buffalo," Kelly said today at One Bills Drive. "I live here. This is my home now. I said it earlier: You get tired of people always referring back to when I played. I don't want to do that. I want to refer somebody that is taking us to the next level now."
Manuel became the first quarterback the Bills have taken with their first pick -- in club history. Prior to Thursday night, they'd drafted three of the 191 quarterbacks taken league-wide since Kelly retired.
"I'm not only a former player, but I'm a fan, too," Kelly said. "I can feel what the fans feel. And to have somebody to come in and hopefully he can grasp not only the offense, but this city.
"And just the type of player he is, you can tell he's a good kid, but good kids always don't take you to the top. Ryan Fitzpatrick -- great friend of mine -- just couldn't get it done.
"I just hope EJ's the guy that we hope that he is."

Making Work Pay Tax Credit: What You Need to Know
Some key highlights of the tax credit that many workers will begin getting today.
Starting in April, workers will be getting small additions to their paychecks, thanks to the stimulus package "Making Work Pay" tax credit. The fatter paychecks will continue through 2010--totalling up to $400 a year for working individuals, and $800 a year for married joint filers.
Here are a few things to know:
Look out if you have two jobs: If both of your employers pay you the full tax credit, you may owe money when tax season rolls around next year. To avoid the situation, make sure your employer is witholding the proper amount. (In fact, the IRS says there's a good chance you're not withholding enough if you have multiple jobs; a working spouse; income that isn't subject to withholding, such as capital gains or rental income; or you owe other taxes like self-employment tax.)
Rich folks won't get much: The tax credit is smaller for those earning $75,000 and above (or $150,000 as a married couple filing jointly) and its zero for those earning more than $95,000 (or $190,000 for couples filing jointly).
This isn't for retirees: If you received social security payments or pension benefits, then you'll get a $250 payment this spring, not the yearlong tax credit.

Daniel Giurini of Medfield, a senior at Boston College High School, together with 8 other BC High students and accompanied by Margaret Scanlon of the BC High Religious Education department and Father Ron Perry, SJ., Rector of BC High, joined more than 1,000 other attendees at the 16th annual Ignatian Family Teach-In for Justice in Washington, DC, from November 16-18, 2013.
The Teach-In, a three day learning and prayer experience, is designed to connect students and faculty from Jesuit institutions around the U.S. to fight for and advocate on behalf of important social justice issues. This year, the conference focused on immigration reform. They met with Senators Markey and Warren, Congressman Kennedy, Representative McGovern, protesting immigration policies that often split up families. The students also advocated for fair wages, and access to food for low-income families through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).
Started in 1997, the Teach-in takes place in mid-November to commemorate the Jesuit martyrs of El Salvador. The six Jesuit priests and two companions were murdered on November 16, 1989, in El Salvador for their work advocating on behalf of the economically poor in that country.
Giurini and the group gathered this year in the spirit of these Jesuit martyrs using their lives and ministry as inspiration for discovering the injustices of today and how to engage in them. The Teach-In is a place where people are empowered, re-energized, inspired, challenged, and supported by a community that sees faith and justice integrally linked.
Boston College High School is a Jesuit, Catholic, college-preparatory school for young men founded in 1863. The school enrolls approximately 1600 students from more than 100 communities in eastern Massachusetts. For more http://www.bchigh.edu

Argentina Travel Information
- Worst Spanish School in Buenos Aires EXPANISH SPANISH AND TEFL
- Is Argentina safe for tourists?
- Got a question or comment about Argentina? Ask a Travel Expert!
The Basics
Electrical current in Argentina is 220 volts, 50Hz. Most hotels and offices use the three-pin flat type plug, however most older buildings use the two-pin round plug.
Spanish is the official language of Argentina but English is understood in the tourist areas.
Travel Health
There is a low risk of yellow fever, cholera and malaria in some northern provinces, so it is wise to seek your doctor's advice when travelling to these areas. However since the outbreak of yellow fever in neighbouring Brazil and Paraguay in January/February 2008, it is recommended that all visitors to regions bordering these countries, including Iguazu Falls, be inoculated against yellow fever. Outbreaks of dengue fever are on the increase, and visitors are advised to avoid getting mosquito bites as there is no effective treatment for it. A hepatitis A vaccination is recommended before travel to Argentina as well as a typhoid vaccination for those who might eat or drink outside major restaurants and hotels. Water is safe to drink in major towns and cities. Medical facilities are good in the major cities. Treatment is expensive, however, and medical insurance is advised. Asthma, sinus and bronchial ailments can be aggravated by pollution in Buenos Aires. Those with specific conditions should bring a sufficient quantity of medical supplies and medicines for the trip.
A 10% tip is expected at restaurants in Argentina. Porters expect some small change per bag.
Safety Information
Although the political and economic crisis is over, there are still periodic outbreaks of social unrest and demonstrations. Visitors are advised to avoid such public gatherings and keep abreast with news to know whether any political disturbances are expected. However, there is no specific threat to foreigners and travellers should not be discouraged from travelling throughout the country. Be alert for bag-snatchers, pickpockets and con-men, particularly in crowded areas in Buenos Aires, on public transport and in popular tourist haunts, such as San Telmo.
Local Customs
Argentineans are warm and unreserved people.
Business people dress well in Argentina and visitors are expected to wear a smart suit. Handshaking is normal. Argentineans are great conversationalists and are interested and knowledgeable about world events, politics and sporting. Meetings usually begin with small talk. Use titles when addressing people: Señor (Mr), Señora (Mrs) and Señorita (Miss) followed by their surname. Business culture in Argentina can be bureaucratic and as with most South American countries negotiation and decision making can take a long time and is best done face to face. Make sure you see the right people, as only those in high positions are likely to be able to make a final decision. Business hours are 9am to 5pm in Buenos Aires, with an hour for lunch. Outside the capital it is normal to take a siesta between 1pm and 4pm. Many business people are away on holiday during January and February.
The international access code for Argentina is +54. The outgoing code is 00 followed by the relevant country code (e.g. 0044 for the United Kingdom). The area code for Buenos Aires is (0)11. Mobile phones work on the GSM network, and therefore some USA and Canadian SIM cards will not work in Argentina. Mobile roaming charges can be very expensive, so a good option is to buy an Argentine SIM on arrival. Internet cafes are widely available and many hotels also offer Internet access.
Duty Free
Travellers to Argentina over the age of 18 years can bring in the following items to the value of US$300 without incurring customs duty: 2 litres of alcohol, 400 cigarettes or 50 cigars, and 5kg of food items. Restrictions apply to fresh foodstuffs such as meat and dairy products. Prohibited items include explosives, inflammable items, narcotics and pornographic material. Firearms and ammunition for sporting purposes are allowed if accompanied by a license/certificate.

The Daily Star
---- — Police confirmed Friday that deaths of two people in the Village of Franklin early Wednesday were a murder-suicide.
A preliminary autopsy showed that Willis Brown shot his wife, Wendy, with a 9mm rifle and then turned the rifle on himself, Delaware County Undersheriff Craig DuMond said.
DuMond said Willis Brown, 58 and an assistant professor of applied sciences and building technologies at SUNY Delhi, called 911 about 6:40 a.m. Wednesday, told a dispatcher that he had just killed his wife and said he was going to kill himself.
A local, off-duty deputy was sent to the scene, according to a press release from the sheriff's office. DuMond said that the deputy arrived within five minutes, and that Willis Brown was dead by then.
"She found two deceased bodies and immediately relayed that information to us and established a crime scene," he said.
The undersheriff declined to say where in the house the deputy found the bodies.
It also remained unclear when Wendy Brown, a financial adviser who worked in Oneonta, had been slain.
"We're still awaiting the final autopsy report," DuMond said. "That'll probably have that information."
The full autopsy report from Lourdes Hospital in Binghamton may not be filed for two or more weeks, he said.
Willis Brown gave no hint about why he killed his 58-year-old wife, either in the 911 call or in any other manner, DuMond said.
"We're completely baffled by it," he said. "We do not have any motive whatsoever."
The undersheriff said no note had been found. Other than the 911 call, the only communication from Willis Brown that morning was a cryptic message posted at 6:34 a.m. Wednesday on the "What's New" section of a canoeing and camping website he administered. It read, "I' am Sorry Good by'' and contained a link to www.thedailystar.com.
"We'll track down any developments that might present themselves, but as of right now, it's a mystery as to what might have motivated Mr. Brown," DuMond said.
Asked about the murder weapon, he agreed that a 9mm rifle was unusual, but said that it was long rifle, not an assault weapon, some of which use 9mm ammunition — as do many handguns. Willis Brown was an outsdoorsman in addition to being a college professor, so it wasn't unusual that he would have a rifle, DuMond said.
The sheriff's Criminal Investigation Division carried out the investigation, assisted by the Forensic Identification Unit from Troop C of the New York State Police based in Sidney.

Now, those who do live near it are left wondering if this growing crime, called "squatting" can get any lower.
"Seems like anyone can just go into a house and live there," said one neighbor. "Something has got to be done."

Need I say more about Government Giveaway Abuse?
Analysis: The management of Angeli's Country Market in Menominee, Michigan has confirmed the authenticity of a customer receipt showing that $141.78 worth of lobster, porterhouse steak, and Diet Mountain Dew were purchased by an individual using a Bridge Card (the electronic benefits card issued to food stamp recipients in Michigan) on February 8, 2011.
Since Michigan law defines "eligible food" for the government assistance program as "Any food or food product intended for human consumption except alcoholic beverages, tobacco, and foods prepared for immediate consumption," the purchase itself was not illegal. But because steak and lobster are generally regarded as luxury foods, the transaction has been condemned in some quarters as an instance of welfare abuse.
Indeed, it's such a stereotypical example of welfare abuse — "Everyone knows of someone (or knows someone who knows someone) who was in line behind a welfare person using food stamps, and observed him or her purchasing frozen dinners or steaks or lobster or some such," complained author Michael L. Murray in 1997 — that skeptics initially wondered if the Menominee incident actually took place. It did.
Items were illegally purchased for resale
Still, on the face of it the case does seem too flagrant and over the top to be true, and now we know why. According to the Menominee County Sheriff's Department, local and state investigators have discovered that the reason the cardholder bought such large quantities of lobster, steak, and soda was not to "dine like a king," as some have characterized it, but to resell them for profit. And that is illegal.
The accused, one Louis Cuff, has been charged with welfare fraud and faces up to five years in prison if convicted.

SHELTON — Ralph Kinne walked into the Shelton High School auditorium Wednesday morning, and up onto the stage where his white Washington Huskies hat sat on the table. He couldn't contain his excitement. His face was beaming as he slapped hands with the school's other three NCAA Division I-bound athletes.
Kinne labeled it the best day of his young life.
"Second is my (official) visit," he said.
The foursome – Kinne, David Ajamu, Jake Lindley and Jared Welander – were sharply dressed in black head to toe as the school held its signing day ceremony honoring what athletic director Jim Judson called a rarity at Shelton: four future Division I athletes in one class.
"We are ecstatic to have that opportunity," Judson said. "It speaks to all the work that happens leading up to this day."
Ajamu, a tight end, honored his commitment to the University of Washington's football program by signing his national letter of intent. Kinne, his teammate and best friend, also is headed to UW as a preferred walk-on with a partial scholarship that will kick in at the start of camp, he said.
The school also recognized lineman Lindley, who will walk-on at national powerhouse Oregon, and Welander, the Highclimbers' quarterback who will sign his letter of intent to play baseball at Washington State during April's spring signing period.
The recruiting process started late for Ajamu, who attracted attention after tellar performances at camps and scouting combines last summer. He originally committed to Oregon State, the first Pacific-12 Conference school to offer him a scholarship. As his senior season progressed, the Huskies became more interested.
The thought of being an understudy to Austin Seferian-Jenkins, labeled as one of the top college tight ends in the country, is partly what lured the 6-foot-5 Ajamu to Washington.
"That used to be the tight end school," Ajamu said. "It's getting back to that with Austin there. I'll be able to go there and learn from him and be able to hopefully do what he does and fill his shoes when he leaves."
He's the only tight end in the Huskies' recruiting class, and one of 22 signees. He's also Shelton's first Division I signee in football since Caleb Schlauderaff, now an offensive guard with the New York Jets, signed with Utah in 2006.
After a record-setting senior season that include school marks for rushing yards in a season (2,389) and a single game (359), the 5-foot-10 Kinne said his recent official visit to Washington was "the best weekend of my life." He said going alongside Ajamu is a big bonus, too.
"Going with him is another add on," Kinne said. "We're like brothers."
Tumwater's Jaimie Bryant will be taking a different path to UW football.
After giving a verbal commitment in April, he will greyshirt at UW, meaning he will enroll at the university in January 2014, which is when he will sign a letter of intent and his scholarship will be honored.
Why? Development.
Bryant, the 2A Evergreen Conference's defensive MVP who helped guide the T-Birds to the 2A state title game in December, said the UW coaching staff wants him to add 40 to 50 pounds to his current 6-foot-5, 245-pound frame.
On the defensive line last fall, he dropped 30 pounds. UW's two defensive tackle signees for 2013 – Elijah Qualls and Andrew Basham – weigh 285 and 305 pounds, respectively.
"I need to mature (physically) a little more before I start playing," said Bryant, who will enter a rigorous workout plan.
The decision to greyshirt came a few weeks ago after Bryant took his official visit to the Washington campus. Bryant said plans to take college courses at the UW-Tacoma campus or South Puget Sound Community College next fall and winter quarters.
Andrew Brown, Bryant's Tumwater teammate, was both nervous and excited before he signed his UW track and field letter of intent.
"I'm finally committing to where I've wanted to go," said Brown, the two-time defending 2A state champion in the 400 meters.
Brown, a running back and all-state football player for Tumwater, also had offers from various schools to play football, but he wanted to run track in the Pac-12. With the renovation of Husky Stadium, the longtimeg track is gone, and the newly constructed track near the stadium is all-purple.
"I see myself more doing track," Brown said.

Gloucester Daily Times
---- —
Pairing food and wine is not only an art, it is also a science. Kathleen Erickson, the Wine PhD. and owner of Savour Wine and Cheese in Gloucester, shows us that, although the up and coming field of molecular gastronomy can be complex, it is very rewarding.
To explore the rewards of molecular gastronomy, Erickson prepares a simple chicken dish. The chicken is seasoned with salt and pepper and then covered with a creamy béchamel sauce.
Béchamel sauce is a white sauce that originates from France. It is most commonly a blend of milk, flour, and butter, along with some seasoning. It is an incredibly flavorful sauce that enhances any dish to which it is added.
An important step to optimizing all of the flavors found in this dish comes after the chicken is sautéed. Erickson deglazes the pan used to sauté the chicken with a ½ cup of vermouth. More known for it's spotlight in martinis, vermouth is essentially white wine infused with herbs and spices such as coriander, juniper, and cinnamon, making it a very versatile addition to this dish.
Since both the vermouth and the tarragon found in the béchamel share the same flavor profiles of anise and mint, both blend beautifully on the palate. The most important step, by far for this dish, is to find a wine pairing this that will complement every flavor component.
Kathleen chooses a vernaccia, a white wine from Italy, because it too is known for its anise and mint flavoring. This crisp wine mirrors the tarragon in the béchamel sauce and as Erickson says,"elevates your Wednesday night supper to something really special."
Tarragon Chicken
2 whole chicken breasts, skinned, boned, and halved
2 tablespoons butter
2 teaspoons flour
1 tablespoon fresh tarragon
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 cup Noilly Prat dry vermouth
1/2 cup half and half (or 2% milk, for a lighter sauce)
1. Sauté chicken in butter about 3 minutes on each side. Remove from skillet and set aside.
2. Add flour to pan drippings and cook for about 2 minutes.
3. Stir mustard and tarragon into the flour mixture in the pan.
4. Gradually stir in wine.
5. Cook for several minutes, scrapping up brown bits in skillet.
6. Add half and half or milk and stir until thickened.
7. Place chicken in casserole dish and bake in 350 degree oven for about 15-20 minutes or until a meat thermometer reaches 161 degrees.

For anyone whos a concert blu-ray collector like myself, or just a Doobies fan, Ill try to give my take of their Live At Wolf Trap BD that came out today. Recorded at Wolf Trap Performing Arts in Virginia, 2004. Most of the notable characters are present, but no Michael MacDonald which, on a personal note, was fine with me. Its a 23 song set, the lack of White Sun the only song I really missed. The first song is Rockin Down The Highway with the intro being a motorcycle running through the 5.1 system at random, very cool.
So just a little about the sound and video: both are stellar. Concerts on blu-ray I find to be hit or miss, mostly miss actually, when it comes to the video presentation. Many are set up with the live audience in mind, and sometimes dont come off well to the cameras eye (the dreaded stage bathed in blue light comes to mind). This one is certainly nothing like that, the stage is very well lit and I found the PQ to be excellent on my Panny plasma. One more thing about the video portion; the editing is well done, and you dont have to watch through a stroke inducing camera change every 1.5 seconds.
The sound is also top notch. 11 in the band that night in all, including 3 in the horn section. The guitar work is just phenomenal, and the LFE gets a nice workout with the kick drum and bass guitar. Harmonies on Black Water are as great as I remember and are reproduced here flawlessly. Sound options are a default LPCM stereo track and an awesome DTS-MA 5.1 track.
Rare to find a concert with video AND audio both this good. Lots of interviews as well. Eagle Rock does a good job, mostly, with concert BDs and this is certainly one of their better ones, even though it was delayed a couple of times. Also available in DVD, btw. I paid $14.99 in Canada for it today, I consider it well bought. Hope this might help someone whos interested

Easy steps to improve styleSo a ton of folks have been asking "what programs do you use? I know theres an FAQ on your front page but I still want to comment!" First off, art programs are a tool that helps portray your style. They don't magically make you better, but are something to add on to your drawing. Paint, graphite, pastils, watercolor, cel shading, they're all different to express. So it will vary from different individuals who know how to use the resources efficiently. But here's a list of the key points to improve faster. Know your weak points. Most of us don't like getting critiqued, especially when its something we don't agree on. However, whether it's from someone you don't know, or even yourself, take a moment and figure out the flaws of your drawing. Is the anatomy too exaggerated? Is there too much lighting? All of these things must be decided on your account. And getting advise from a friend or family is never a bad idea, but

Hetalia Theory: Greece is Romano and Italy's DadEveryone knows that that Rome is the Grandfather of Italy and Romano, and everyone knows that Greece has a mother who left artifacts of her existence behind. Now when Rome was becoming an Empire, he conquered Greece's mother. Well let's say after Rome fell apart so did Greece's mother so the Greece we know today exists. By this we can assume that Rome is Greece's father. How does this tie into Italy and Romano? Well if Italy and Romano call Rome their grandfather than perhaps we can assume that Greece is their father being the son of Rome and Greece.Of course this is just a theory until proven canon. Let me know what you think. Do you agree?

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- It is a huge step for the military. Women fighting on the front lines. And for Charlotte's Jr. ROTC members, it is a time to think seriously about what a future in the military may mean.
"First, I was like 'wow,'" said Jr. ROTC member Karen Flores.
Flores is a senior at South Mecklenburg High School and hopes to enlist in the Marines when she graduates. News that women will now be allowed on the front lines, came as a shock, she says.
"I was thinking about all of the family I'm going to leave behind and how it's going to affect everybody," she said as she conducted drills with her platoon.
"I was really happy to hear it because I always wanted to fight on the front lines," she said.
About a third of the Jr. ROTC cadets at South Mecklenburg High School are women. But women have, and do, make up many of the top leadership posts. Flores believes it's time women take the next step.
"I will say it's just fair for women to have the same rights as men. They do the same training and they should do what men can do," said Flores.
James Liles agrees.
"I welcome it," said Liles.
The senior also hopes to enlist after graduating.
"My reaction was 'why hasn't it been done before?'" he said.
For Flores, the new policy could mean a chance to show her gratitude.
"Because I feel this country's done so much for me, I want to pay back," she said.
