I believe this was poured from a 12oz bottle into a pint glass at Taco Asylum in Costa Mesa, Calif. Reviewed from notes.
A- Two finger width creamy white head. Soapy and wispy with a copper body underneath. Some clarity.
S- Caramel malt body, citrusy hops, caramel, brown sugar, deeper bodied malts.
T- Bitter, metallic hops, lighter malt body, bitter and malty. Not great.
M- Light, creamy and dry finish.
O- Decent beer, tastes bitter and strong.

Hazy medium amber color in the New Belgium snifter with a nice head and swirls of lacing. Then I notice the swarms of floaties-- ack! Aroma is woodsy, leaf mold, and cereal. Watery body with some malty texture.
This is not really terrible in flavor, but it's an odd murky flavor. The beer is rather bitter, but with a dank taste that is more wintergreen than hops. Grainy taste with carrot notes and a bitter vegetable tang. Rather sweet and bready with a fruity off-flavor. It has that peculiar sweet and bitter sensation that is not so pleasant.
From the 22 oz bottle. This stuff wasn't meant to be aged, and I must have bought it last year somewhere in Denver.

pours a nice amber color pour with an initial finger of head which diminished completely. the aroma is mostly of caramel malt, plums, raisins. the flavor is mainly caramel malt as well, with a light bitterness on the back of the palate. mostly malty sweetness and caramel in this beer.. nothing too special, but perfect for malt lovers!
medium body with a low amount of carbonation.. very easy to drink.
overall, this is not an impressive beer - there's honestly nothing that stands out from this one. as far as a pale ale it lacks the hoppy bite i look forward to. as far as a beer on its own, this is pretty damn tasty - loaded with sweetness from the malt.
the abv on BA says this is 6%, the abv on the 22oz bomber i have says 7%. not sure which one is right.

bottle into a pint glass
crazy amount of off white head that overtakes the glass. I could only fit about 1/2 the bottle into the glass. clear copper color with a bunch of carbonation.
smell is faint, grassy hops
taste is bitter hops with a touch of tequila flavors and a bit of smoke at the end
mouthfeel is thin and slightly off balance
overall, not bad, but it doesn't make me crave another one

This is a pretty good pale ale but has insufficient character and sweetness to support the relatively strong, sharp bitterness.
It looks beautiful, being copper with a big pale tan head steadily shrinking to a thin but solid foamy top and some lace.
Aroma is pretty good, fairly standard west coast APA, but solid, with strong caramelised candied orange and barley with some grapefruit and pine as well as old rusty pipes.
Taste is similar, with some bitter orange, grapefruit and vaguely peppery sharpness up front and some vaguely raisiny sweetness then joining, followed by light toastiness, but with some vaguely pine-flavoured bark bitterness throughout as well. It is somewhat juicy and has some good flavour, but it is somewhat too spicy-sharply bitter throughout and the character is too light and inadequately sweet to carry that bitterness.

My neighbor found a mixed pack down state and let me sample a Tahoe Blue. This was a solid apa with a nice hop bite. Was a bit bitter, strong grapefruit tones...perhaps some better balance with the malt. The mouthfeel to me was a little thinner than I expected for a APA but it did have nice flavor good maltyness and a somewhat agressive hoppiness for the style....this is a good beer and worth a try.

Random new arrival in downstate Illinois. Possible julian code printed on the bottom of the bottle: "290 A-1 1122". First NV beer.
Bright reddish orange with plankton-like particles floating in suspension. Thin layer of white foam that fades down to an unbroken skim after a few sips, leaving behind some irregular lace.
Grassy, floral nose, dried herbs, fruity yeast esters. Lightly bitter resiny herbal flavors mingle with bready caramel malt in the middle. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Nice hoppy aftertaste that lingers. Herbal pine character seems to dominate. Nice enough, if not a fairly typical APA.

Bought in a 12oz bottle at the Village Market in Incline Village thinking we should try a local brew...
Pours a dark red-gold color with a nice thick head that lasts through the end of the brew. Lacing is intense, almost sticky looking.
The first hit is the scent of unripe pears and dried grass, a bit different for a basic American pale ale. As the temperature comes up the grassiness becomes more prevalent.
The first sip hits you with a finish that's hard to ignore, something off, like a beer that's been heat destroyed or not properly transported. I want to think it was all part of the brewer's plan but as you continue all you sense the overbearing off finish. The wet chestnut flavors work well in the front, especially once warmed up.
The mouthfeel is the only winner, super rounded with a great carb level that asks you to take another sip.
Not impressive, but not terrible, for this price ($9.99 / 6-pack) i expected more.

Me thinks this is my first beer from Nevada, so here goes...
Pours nothing but head (cream colored) not a good sign, amber color hiding underneath. Murks up as the bottle is emptied, good head retention & lacing
S: Grassy, some caramel
T" Bready notes mix with grassy & lemony hops, no obvious hints of infection up front. Astringent & woody hops dominate as this warms, some apricot, grapefruit bitterness as well once warm. Finishes a little stronger than it started, grapefruit really comes om strong, along with a touch of biscuit malt to balance this out
Medium bodied, firm carbonation & alright balance
This got better as it warmed, an alright APA. No freshness dating on the bottle, would try again if assured of freshness

Golden colo, slight haze to it, not the most impressive pale I've laid eyes on. Almost nothing in the aroma department. Just like a macro beer, but at least it doesn't have corn going on for it.
Taste, mild, non offensive, dare I say bland. No discernable hop character. No real caramel quotient, prolly hits it up w/ chrystal or whatnot. Smooth mouthfeel, but seriously, what's the deal with the hops? Isn't even sweet or chewy. Its total filler beer, but the problem is, who wants to pay $10 a 6er for filler beer?
Extremely simplistic beer. Would not recommend to someone who really likes beer that is bold.

I bought 2 bottels of Tahoe Blue while vacationing in Nevada. $1.50 each.
Pours a massive foamy head, even on the most gingerly poured pint. The massive head is very resilient, and take a while to break down. The beer is a hazy gold color.
Smell is a sweet floral and citrus aroma, with some of the acrebic smell of the foam mixed in.
Taste is a bitter sweet bread flavor up front, with a grapefruit flavor on the finish, and a wet bitter aftertaste.
Mouthfeel is fairly full bodied and chewy for the style.
Overall a good cross between and American IPA and a pale ale. The foaming is a real issue. I like a heady brew, but I don't like to fight it. Unless I am doing something wrong this would be a regular in my beer fridge.

Thanks to my old man for this one.
A: Upon opening the bottle, I was greeted with a volcano of frothy foam that left me running for the sink (to be fair, I was warned to pour it gently beforehand, but I didn't expect it to jettison out of the bottle). After the foam subsided a bit, this was one good-looking brew. Ample amount of frothy, white foam (obviously) and a lovely hazy, golden apple color. Carbonation is obviously a bit on the crazily high side.
S: Very interesting aroma for a pale ale. Citrus hops are there along with a very subtle sweet malt backbone, but what surprised me was a fair amount of spice. I can't pinpoint it, but maybe coriander?
T: Bitter up front; this brew is powerfully hopped. Mostly grapefruit and lemon citrus, but also a bit of pine resin. There is a definite malt presence that chases away the hops for a bit, and then there is that spice again. The beer finishes dry and bitter with an astringent, hoppy aftertaste.
M: This is a light bodied brew that is without a doubt overly carbonated, but after all the foam subsides the carbonation levels weren't too bad, maybe it was bottled badly? I found the overall substance of the brew to be a bit on the thin side, not much chewiness to speak of, probably due to all of the carbonation coming out on the opening of the bottle.
O: Overall, this was a tasty and very good-looking beer with an ample amount of hops, but also a bit of balance (though this is a hoppy beast at heart). Once they get their bottling down, I will happily bump my average up a bit, assuming it brings with it a bit more substance. Not too shabby from a brewery I have never heard of. Cheers!

At this time two years ago, Alabama could not boast of a single Heisman Trophy winner in the illustrious history of the program, but Mark Ingram was very talented. Although only a freshman at the time, Trent Richardson was more special.
After lighting up Auburn for a career-high 203 rushing yards and brandishing his trademark wicked stiff-arm twice on a powerful, reverse-field run that has defined his college career, Richardson could give the Tide their second Heisman Trophy in three years, and allow that 2010 national championship backfield to go down in the college football annals as the most talented ever to share time.
Week after week, Richardson has faced stacked boxes designed to shut him down. Yet, the bowlegged, bruising back has ripped through the best in the Southeastern Conference, which figures to boast a rematch between LSU and Alabama in this year's BCS championship game, and creased the best defenses in the country.
He doesn't have exceptional long speed, as evidenced when he was tracked down from behind against the Tigers after a 57-yard run, but there are few college or NFL backs with his combination of run strength, hip power, balance and vision. He is seldom knocked off his feet, and it takes a small army to bring him down.
For one half, the game was reminiscent of last year's Iron Bowl, when Cam Newton rallied the Tigers back from a three-TD deficit after a horrendous first half on the road, showing competitiveness in that contest that largely convinced Panthers' brass to take a chance on his immense talent.
This year, there was no Newton and no let-up from Alabama, thanks to the nation's most stingy defense, led by savvy defensive coordinator Kirby Smart and captained by two first-round LB talents — Dont'a Hightower and Courtney Upshaw. Both players have come on strong late in the season with the help of a suffocating D-line.
Hightower is the most stout, run-stuffing inside 'backer in this year's draft, and Upshaw, who notched a sack and was an energetic force behind the line against Auburn, might prove to be the best power-leverage rusher.
It was Richardson, however, who took over the second half, wearing down the clock and powering the Tide to a 42-14 victory. He deserves to keep the Heisman in the state of Alabama for the third consecutive year.
• Boston College junior MLB Luke Kuechly picked off Miami (Fla.) QB Jacory Harris and returned it 45 yards for a TD in the Eagles' 24-17 victory on Friday. Kuechly became Boston College's all-time leading tackler in the first half when he notched his 525th stop in only his third season. His three-year production is off the charts and indicative of the best instincts of any linebacker in college football. He might not test through the roof to guarantee a place in the first round, should he declare early, but he will prove to be a tackling machine in the pros.
• Baylor junior QB Robert Griffin III went down with a head injury before the half after taking an impactful hit from Texas Tech's Cornelius Douglas while sliding feet first. Douglas was given a personal-foul penalty and Griffin returned for a few snaps but remained out in the second half. The Bears turned to senior RB Terrance Ganaway in the second half, allowing him to rush for a career-high 246 yards on a school-record 42 carries with two TDs in the 66-42 victory. Ganaway is a thick, bruising back who has worked his way into a draftable standing with a strong senior showing.
• As a converted tight end, evaluators have reason to be intrigued by Auburn senior ORT Brandon Mosley, but he was overmatched vs. Alabama, getting beaten by Courtney Upshaw and mammoth junior DL Jesse Williams and struggling to handle the strength of the Tide's aggressive rush pressure.
• Illinois and Arizona feature two of the most physically talented rosters in college football, and they both started the season superbly before falling apart. A six-game skid after a 6-0 start cost Ron Zook his job, and Dennis Erickson's seat was hot after losing for the fifth time in six games. Coaching changes tend to push young talent, such as Illini DE Whitney Mercilus and Sun Devils LB Vontaze Burfict, out of school early, and could lead to more departures.
• Oregon junior RB LaMichael James did not return after awkwardly bending his left elbow while putting down his hand to brace himself from a fall midway through third quarter. He missed two other games with a dislocated right elbow earlier this season and is proving to be a china doll.
• A week before Wisconsin and Michigan State meet in the inaugural Big Ten Conference championship game, their offensive stars entered the record books. Spartans senior QB Kirk Cousins set the school mark for career TD passes (62) in a 31-17 win over Northwestern with a 29-yard toss to B.J. Cunningham in the fourth quarter. Wisconsin junior RB Montee Ball notched four TDs in a 45-7 rout of Penn State to give him 34 on the season, only five short of Barry Sanders' single-season NCAA record.

So Dad just bought a new 42" plasma for the den and has to use headphones to watch it quite frequently. He has a pair (or three) of the Bose QuietComfort headphones, so he's been using those with a long cord, plugged into the analog audio out using an adapter. However, he doesn't want to have to keep stringing his cord ~18' across the den, and I think Mom's interested in some wireless headphones, too.
I did a quick search on the forum and basically found that they're all crap. Which is rather disappointing. Neither Mom nor Dad are looking for great audio quality, but decent range and reception is important. Are there any wireless headphones out there today that won't totally break the bank and actually function fairly well? I'm also assuming here that the wireless headphones will have a volume control on them. With Dad's current setup he doesn't have any volume control.
Any input would be very much appreciated! Thanks!!

Pirelli Login
Institutions and NGOs
After six years of Pirelli presidency, which led to ETRMA becoming the leading partner of EU agencies for the development of new industry regulations and instructions for implementing them, the association, with the help of the Pirelli Group, has worked extremely hard throughout 2012 to fine-tune the instructions for implementing the European Commission regulations on the general safety of vehicles and tyres and on energy efficiency.
In parallel, ETRMA stimulates EU countries to develop policies for monitoring the compliance of tyres in the EU market with EU regulations. ETRMA plays an active role in developing the new "Europe 2020" strategy, aimed at establishing the work of the Community in the business and social fields in the coming decade and continuing its activity in raising awareness of road safety and sustainable transport. Lastly, ETRMA is successfully promoting sustainable practices for the management of endof- life tyres, which has enabled Europe to recycle more than 95% of its tyres.
Pirelli is a member of the Industry Advisory Panel of the International Rubber Study Group (IRSG), an intergovernmental organisation that brings together rubber producers and consumers, acting as a valuable platform for discussion on issues regarding the supply and demand for natural and synthetic rubber.
In the context of IRSG, since 2012 Pirelli has also been involved in the "Sustainability Rubber Project", with the aim of creating a global standard for Sustainable Management in the rubber industry.
Again in 2012 Pirelli actively participated in the WBCSD - World Business Council for Sustainable Development, a Geneva-based association grouping about 200 multinational companies based in over 30 countries that have made a voluntary commitment to link economic growth to sustainable development.
In particular Pirelli Tyre is part of the Tyre Industry Project Group, launched in 2005 to take up but above all anticipate the challenges involved in sustainable development by assessing the potential impact on health and the environment of materials associated with the production and use of tyres. The project, which initially focussed solely on raw materials and tyre debris, with the aim of developing new knowledge and formulating a new approach in the industry, has extended its scope to nanomaterials, with a view to developing specific guidelines for the industry that can act as best practices for the research, development and production of new nanomaterials, ensuring that the use of any nanomaterial is safe for both people and the environment.
The members of the group continued promoting best practices for end-of-life tyre management in emerging countries, to encourage their recovery and reuse as a resource (secondary raw material). This will make it possible to reduce the use of raw materials and environmental impact that this involves.
With a view to helping orient technological choices, management systems and policies for sustainable transport, Pirelli Tyre is also actively involved in developing and launching the new project Sustainable Mobility 2.0. This three year project (2013-2015) aims to speed up the implementation of solutions for sustainable transport in terms of access to safe, reliable and comfortable transport for all, aiming for a zero road accident rate, low environmental impact, reduced energy demands and time saving.
In 2012, for the fourth consecutive year, Pirelli continued to be an official partner of the European Occupational Safety and Health Agency (EU-OSHA). Every two years the Agency tackles a different issue. The campaign for 2012-2013 is entitled "Working together for Risk Prevention", and focuses on fostering leadership in the context of health and safety at work, fundamental when it comes to involving all members of personnel in reducing the number of accidents in the workplace. Pirelli strongly believes that leaders play a strategic role in risk prevention. Management must therefore make a clear, visible commitment to safety culture and exhibit behaviours that are an example for all workers.
The targets of this campaign were presented and shared with the Group's HSE managers during the global meeting held in October at the site in Settimo Torinese.
In 2012 Pirelli continued to be a part of CSR Europe, in the role of Deputy President with responsibility for governance and finance. CSR Europe is a network of leading European companies that addresses corporate responsibility issues. Its members include more than 70 multinational companies and 36 national partner organisations in 30 European countries. CSR Europe functions as the European platform for the more than 5,000 businesses and interested parties, enabling them to cooperate and exchange experiences to become global leaders with Europe in the areas of sustainable competitiveness and social well-being. The network was founded in 1995 by European business leaders, in response to an appeal by European Commission President Jacques Delors.
Among the initiatives of CSR Europe, Enterprise 2020 is certainly one of the most important initiatives of CSR Europe. Enterprise 2020 is part of the Europe 2020 strategy adopted by the EU Council. It consists of an alliance between companies that strategically guides businesses towards responsibility and transparency by developing new business models, innovative solutions for the planet and collaborating with stakeholders, in view of making material contributions to the construction of a sustainable and inclusive society.
With Enterprise 2020, CSR Europe is committed to:
- supporting businesses in the creation of sustainable competitiveness, by offering a platform for innovation and the exchange of experiences;
- encouraging close collaboration between businesses and stakeholders, by exploring new forms of cooperation to create a sustainable future;
- reinforcing the global leadership of Europe in CSR, by engaging European institutions and a wider range of international players.
The activity illustrated above is focused on four fronts: market transformation, inclusive societies, health and transparency.
In European Commission Communication 2011/681, which outlines the new EU strategy for CSR, the European Commission recognises the Enterprise 2020 initiative promoted by CSR Europe as an example of business leadership that is particularly relevant to the political objectives in question. Pirelli has also participated in the European Alliance for CSR since 2007, fully sharing its approach to sustainability as a strategic and competitive business management technique. So far, Pirelli's participation in the initiative - promoted by the European Commission in Brussels to encourage the spread and exchange of the best sustainability practices amongst businesses - has been expressed through its active participation in the Alliance's European Laboratories, coordinated in Italy by the Sodalitas Foundation and throughout Europe by CSR Europe.< br/> Since 2010 Pirelli has been on the Board of CSR Europe, with the company's Director for Sustainability and Risk Management occupying the role of Deputy President, with responsibility for governance and finance.
In 2012 Pirelli contributed to developing the CSR Europe Enterprise 2020 programme for the 2013-2015 period, which was presented on occasion of the Enterprise 2020 Summit - "Strengthening Europe through Collaboration on Sustainability" held in Brussels on 29 November 2012 in the presence of the President of the European Parliament Herman Van Rompuy and the President of the European Commission José Manuel Barroso. On that occasion Pirelli, as Deputy President of the CSR, illustrated the new platform designed by CSR Europe for Enterprise 2020 and the two key projects "New Skills for Jobs" and "Sustainable Living in Cities".
Once again in 2012, Pirelli renewed its commitment to combating climate change on 23 November by signing The Carbon PricingCommuniqué, the new document drawn up by the Corporate Leaders' Group on Climate Change, that promotes the adoption of energy policies aimed at reducing CO2 emissions. This programmatic document was formulated by the University of Cambridge with the input of the Prince of Wales and aims to bring together the corporate leaders of Britain, Europe and the world with the belief that new long-term policies are needed to tackle climate change
In 2011 Pirelli signed the 2nd Challenge Communiqué, while in 2010 it signed the Cancun Communiqué, just as in 2009 it signed the Copenhagen Communiqué and in 2007 that of Bali, the first document aimed at developing concrete strategies through the concerted efforts of the various governments to forge an exhaustive global agreement on climate change.

Moet embarks on major expansion
- Wednesday 7 March 2012
Moët: 'anticipate capacity'
The company has been focusing on the construction of a new winery at its existing press facility in Oiry since April 2011.
The 100,000 hectolitre expansion project, with 137 new stainless steel fermentation tanks, which Moët has called Mont Aigu, was initiated because the company felt that the current site in Epernay could no longer meet its needs.
'By 2014 our sales forecasts are set to reach their highest level yet, exceeding even those of 2007. We can only increase sales if we have sufficient storage capacity', said CEO Daniel Lalonde.
While the company's headquarters on the Avenue De Champagne in Epernay will continue to be used for wine production, Moët expects the bulk of its Champagne to be produced and stored at the upgraded Oiry site.
The new facility is expected to be operational in time for the 2012 harvest.
'The Mont Aigu project is the first stage of a plan to anticipate now what production facilities will be needed in the future to ensure and maintain this growth in the long term', Lalonde said.
Champagne's governing body the CIVC recently unveiled sales figures which show that Champagne sales increased significantly in volume in 2011, with emerging markets like Russia and China fuelling growth.

The Oneonta School District approved a budget Wednesday that calls for a tax levy increase of 2.7 percent. The spending plan still has to be approved by voters. State voting on school budgets is scheduled for May 21.
The district was able to close a budget gap that was at $1.5 million at the start of the season through a number of measures. This included cutting 15.3 positions, including two math teachers, two English teachers, two elementary teachers and two licensed teaching assistants. Seven employees will be laid off, and sixth-grade classes will be moved to the middle school as part of the effort.
Several people express concerns at the meeting over losing talented staff.
Interim Superintendent David Rowley said everyone on the board agrees, but to close such a large gap, "unfortunately, you end up looking at personnel cost."
There is still about $26,000 in cuts to sports and extracurricular activities that have to be resolved. The board is looking at scenarios to bridge that gap, which will be resolved before the vote, he said.
Bill Grau and Darren Gaisford voted against the budget. Both said they wanted the tax increase to be 0.2 percent higher to allow for some additional spending.
But Grau said while they disagreed with the majority: "I appreciate our ability to discuss it. We are in agreement. We want what is best for the kids."

Updated 3:30pm Tuesday 31st December 2013 in Sport By Andrew Penman
NEWPORT County AFC have announced that loan star Tom Naylor will remain at Rodney Parade until the end of the season.
The midfielder's initial loan deal from Derby County was due to end on January 6.
A statement on the club's official website reads: "Newport County AFC and Derby County FC have reached an agreement to extend the Standard Loan for Tom Naylor from 7th January through to the end of the season.
"This is great news for all concerned and Tom has been an integral part of the County squad since the beginning of the season.
"Only Adam Chapman, Conor Washington and Robbie Willmott have made more league appearances for Newport County AFC this season.

"Tom's initial loan was due to end on 6th January 2014 making the player eligible for the forthcoming home matches against Oxford United and Northampton Town before the loan extension kicks in."
Naylor posted an update on his Twitter account, which read: "Delighted to sign till the end of the season. Love to finish what we have here and that's promotion."

Brayden Scott would like to go back in time, but he knows he can't.
Scott came to that conclusion on Tuesday after the Oklahoma Supreme Court ruled on Sequoyah's nearly year-long dispute with the Oklahoma Secondary School Activities Association. The state's high court ruled that the OSSAA acted in an "arbitrary and capricious manner" by determining that Sequoyah players violated Rule 9 of the organization's policies.
"Wish they could have done this like a year ago," Scott told the Tahlequah Daily Press on Tuesday night.
In November of 2012, the OSSAA ruled that Sequoyah had to forfeit all nine of its victories during the regular season, because of the Indians breaking several rules in the OSSAA's policy manual. The governing body of high school sports in Oklahoma temporarily suspended more than a dozen Sequoyah football players, permanently suspended Scott and eliminated Sequoyah from any participation in postseason play in football.
It was reversed nearly a year later. The only OSSAA ruling that wasn't overturned was the ban placed on former Sequoyah head coach Brent Scott coaching in Oklahoma. At the OSSAA's monthly board meeting in November of 2012, the OSSAA's board of directors ruled that Scott must sit out a year before coaching again in the state.
Chad Smith, former principal chief of the Cherokee Nation and Brayden Scott's attorney, said the decision on Brent Scott should soon be discarded.
"Brent Scott coaching wasn't addressed," Smith said. "But that's the next step. The whole case should be thrown out, including the ruling on Brent."
Brent Scott opted to remain quiet when reached by the Tahlequah Daily Press on Tuesday.
"I've got a whole lot to say, but I've other things going on," he said. "I don't want to say the wrong thing."
The state's Supreme Court ruled in a 7-2 decision in Sequoyah's favor against the OSSAA, which presented a case against Scott — a former standout quarterback at Sequoyah — in the fall of last year. The OSSAA stated that Scott and other Sequoyah players violated a policy that the OSSAA didn't institute until 2011-2012.
"Retroactive application of policies that did not exist for the majority of the alleged violations is inherently arbitrary and capricious because it has no basis in reason and is in complete disregard of the facts and circumstances," the court wrote.
The OSSAA concluded that Sequoyah was involved in paying for players to attend summer camps, which, according to the OSSAA, is a violation of Rule 9. The OSSAA also discerned that Sequoyah was involved in the recruitment of players — another organization violation.
The Oklahoma Supreme Court countered the OSSAA's claim of Sequoyah paying for summer camps with by saying, "at no point did the OSSAA allege or attempt to prove that the payment of individual camp fees by Sequoyah for its football players, including Scott."
Ultimately, the state's Supreme Court addressed a need for more oversight on the OSSAA. Allowing the OSSAA to operate with "near impunity" as a voluntary organization, the Supreme Court stated that in the future the OSSAA would be handled as a state agency because it is basic fabric of the public school system.
After hearing of the Supreme Court's determination, OSSAA executive director Ed Sheakley told the Associated Press, "we're still digesting it and seeing what all the implications are. Obviously this is something we'll discuss with our membership and our board."

The Norman Transcript
NORMAN — Business knows no boundaries. That's why stretching Norman to its limits can fill in gaps of service and attract outside dollars from visitors and tourists. Entertainment and dining venues at Indian Hills Road west of Interstate 35 sit on the Norman side of the city's border. Andy Alligator's Fun Park and Water Park, Hey Day Family Fun with Double Dave's Pizza Works, 405 Bicycles and Alpha Gymnastics provide a family-friendly atmosphere and create a regional draw.
Bob Moore Cadillac is the farthest north Norman business, sitting adjacent to Moore city limits.
These businesses link the Cleveland County communities of Norman, Moore and south Oklahoma City.
"I think they're well suited in an area that's going to see exceptional growth," said Norman Chamber President John Woods.
Woods pointed to the easy interstate access. Brad Little, co-owner and manager of Hey Day, said customers come from Yukon, Guthrie and even Woodward to visit the family fun center.
"What I think they've created is the starting point of what is going to be an expanding retail, entertainment and housing area in the next decade," Woods said. "You have the future widening of 36th Avenue in that area, which was on the last bond issue."
In January, Norman and the Oklahoma Department of Transportation completed major improvements to 60th Avenue Northwest from Tecumseh Road to Indian Hills Road at a cost of approximately $7 million.
"These improvements included widening of the rural roadway from two lanes to four lanes with turning lanes at Tecumseh, Franklin and Indian Hills Road," said Norman Public Works Director Shawn O'Leary. "A new traffic signal was installed at 60th Avenue Northwest and Indian Hills Road. Major storm water improvements were included in the project because this area is particularly flood prone due to the 10-mile Flat Creek and the Canadian River."
The city also paved 10-foot shoulders on both sides of the roadway, which serve as bike lanes.
While Norman was planning the 60th Avenue project with ODOT, Oklahoma City was planning a companion project on Western Avenue — the same roadway alignment as 60th Avenue, but a different name — from Indian Hills Road to 134th Avenue (SH-37).
"It is my understanding that Oklahoma City is now ready to begin their portion of the highway improvement on Western Avenue," O'Leary said. "A few years ago, ODOT had planned to designate this five miles of roadway as State Highway 77H, which is why ODOT has collaborated with both Norman and Oklahoma City on the improvements.
"In 2008, ODOT opted not to establish the state highway designation and instead to allow Norman and Oklahoma City to continue to own and maintain the roadway in exchange for the funding to make these improvements," he said.
O'Leary said the importance of these companion projects is that they provide a 5-mile improved highway connection between Norman and Oklahoma City.
With I-35 construction projects planned for the future, the 60th Avenue/Western Avenue connection will provide an important alternate route. That link between the cities could grow in importance as the area develops.
"You've got several housing plats planned out there as well. There's no doubt its a growth area," Woods said. "That square-mile area offers us one of the best opportunities to bring those retail dollars into Norman."
The addition of the Andy Alligator's water park has made the location a destination for longer stays.
"People come from as far down as north Texas and play for the day," said Andy Alligator's general manager, Kyle Allison. "They may even stay in a Norman hotel and come back the next day."
Andy Alligator, Hey Day, 405 Bicycles and Alpha Gynmnastics are locally owned.

It is now available online at: http://www.fws.gov/southeast/alabama/economicimpact-al.html.
The survey, conducted every five years by the USFWS and the U.S. Census Bureau, has become one of the most important sources of information on fish and wildlife recreation in the United States. Federal, state, and private organizations use the information in managing wildlife and wildlife-related recreation programs, and in forecasting trends in participation and economic impacts.
Highlighted in the state report is the following:
Nationally, here are some highlights:
Complete survey results are available at: http://wsfrprograms.fws.gov/Subpages/NationalSurvey/NatSurveyIndex.htm

(NBC15) Check your pockets because you could have a quarter worth hundreds of dollars.
The U.S. mint printed 453-million Wisconsin quarters last year between October and December that may have a mistake on them.
Coin dealers say a rare few have an extra cornstalk leaf on the tail side.
It is uncertain whether the mistake was intentional, or just a flaw in the press.
So the question is, if you find one of these quarters, what do you do with it?
Len, a coin dealer, says, "Usually on U.S. mint stuff, to me if it goes up immediately and I have something to sell, I'd sell it because generally speaking when you get everybody looking they'll be more and then the price goes down."
According to some coin dealers, the flawed coins are selling for up to $600 apiece.
A U.S. mint spokesman says they are looking into how the extra leaf may have gotten there.

Any farm that's designed TB-positive is a concern, but it becomes extraordinary when it's outside of what's considered the TB core area of northeast Lower Michigan.

I wound up returning the helmet due to fit. runs a little small. but other then that, for the cost, seems all around nice helment.Read All Reviews
Daniel in NY
Fits well and not too heavy. A little noisy at highway speeds but nothing bad. Today was the first day I got it and like it so far. After 30 days I'll check back and update. EDIT: 7/13/14 - THe helmet broke in nicely. It's a little "loud" at highway speeds but feels great. The shield does not seal well during rain and does leak a little. Goggles fit with the helmet but are not comfortable and seem to pinch my nose. But for the price I cant complain too much. I still like the helmet.Read All Reviews
JONATHAN in CO
This helmet is great, I use it in everything from daily commuting, ADV Riding in Moab, UT, and Single track technical riding. It has done great in all types of conditions. My only gripe is that it is a really loud helmet. Field of vision is great and the fact you can close the visor over goggles is one of my favorite features. I would definitely recommend this to a friend.Read All Reviews
Ken in Utah
I came in the the store to try on this helmet, as the other reviews had been positive. I could barely close the faceplate, my chin and nose were being crushed against it. the wraparound cheekbone protection is so tight as to be highly claustrophobic. Do not buy without a try on, and size it 2 above your other brand helmet.Read All Reviews
Gene in PA
I have had this helmet now for a few years. Its light weight the vents give good air flow in hot weather and the quick release chin strap is great you can work it with your gloves on. The shield has held up well as well.Read All Reviews

I don't visit other forums much to be honest, but I ended up looking up some systems on another site. The setups are atrocious and everyone seems to love them, offering no positive feedback on how to get better sound out of their gear. This isn't a complaint about the gear they use, just how they set it all up. I've seen a setup that everyone loved with coffins stuffed in a corner and a bookcase 4' in front of them blocking half the speaker from sight, multiple setups with larger vintage bookies stuffed in corners way above listening height, speakers at different distances from the rear wall, and many more setups where the listening seat is well off-center for no apparent reason. I just.... don't get it. Yeah, everyone does what suits them, but positive criticism can go a long way in educating others.
I appreciate this community much more the deeper I get into 2 channel. Everyone seems to have their head on straight as far as fidelity goes and is not scared to offer strong suggestions even when it might not be requested. I'm curious now: have any of you guys ran into other forums that have a strong and well-educated community of 2 channelers?

Associated Press
The House has voted to cut nearly $4 billion a year from food stamps, a 5 percent reduction to the nation's main feeding program used by more than 1 in 7 Americans.
The 217-210 vote was a win for conservatives after Democrats united in opposition and some GOP moderates said the cut was too high. Fifteen Republicans voted against the measure.
The bill's savings would be achieved by allowing states to put broad new work requirements in place for many food stamp recipients and to test applicants for drugs. The bill also would end government waivers that have allowed able-bodied adults without dependents to receive food stamps indefinitely.
House conservatives, led by Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., have said the almost $80 billion-a-year program has become bloated. More than 47 million Americans are now on food stamps, and the program's cost more than doubled in the last five years as the economy struggled through the Great Recession. Democrats said the rise in the rolls during tough economic times showed the program was doing its job.
Finding a compromise — and the votes — to scale back the feeding program has been difficult. The conservatives have insisted on larger cuts, Democrats opposed any cuts and some moderate Republicans from areas with high food stamp usage have been wary of efforts to slim the program. The White House has threatened to veto the bill.
House leaders were still shoring up votes on the bill just hours before the vote. To make their case, the Republican leaders emphasized that the bill targets able-bodied adults who don't have dependents. And they say the broader work requirements in the bill are similar to the 1996 welfare law that led to a decline in people receiving that government assistance.
"This bill is designed to give people a hand when they need it most," Cantor said on the floor just before the bill passed. "And most people don't choose to be on food stamps. Most people want a job ... They want what we want."
The new work requirements proposed in the bill would allow states to require 20 hours of work activities per week from any able-bodied adult with a child over age 1 if that person has child care available. The requirements would be applicable to all parents whose children are over age 6 and attending school.
The legislation is the House's effort to finish work on a wide-ranging farm bill, which has historically included both farm programs and food stamps.

Eric Clapton, 'Slowhand'
"Slowhand" was the nickname given to Clapton by the Yardbirds' manager. On this quintessential album, he mixes candlelit love songs and guitar-hero riffs; "Cocaine" and "Wonderful Tonight" are the hits, but don't overlook "Next Time You See Her," a gentle melody loaded with a death threat to a lover's suitor.

By Kate Gibson, MarketWatch
NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — U.S. stocks fell on Friday, chalking up a third weekly loss in four, with investors on guard ahead of next week's monetary-policy decision by the Federal Open Market Committee.
"We didn't get the pullback in May when we thought we would, so it looks like June is giving us some of that," said Andrew Fitzpatrick, director of investments at Hinsdale Associates Inc.
A day after Wall Street rallied on thinking the Federal Reserve would continue record-low interest rates, investors took a cautious stance on the final session of a losing week.
The FOMC holds a two-day policy gathering next week, with Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke due to hold a news conference Wednesday, after the FOMC decision.
Wall Street is tracking economic reports for clues as to whether the economy is strong enough to withstand the much-talked of tapering of Fed stimulus, specifically its $85 billion in monthly bond purchases.
"The economy is not where it needs to be for the Fed to cut off stimulus, with inflation coming in under their target and with the jobs report still not being really strong, it still leaves room for the Fed to maintain its policies," said Fitzpatrick.
Next week: All about the FOMC
After this week's global volatility, attention will remain focused on the next FOMC meeting and whether the Federal Reserve will indicate any change to its quantitative-easing policy.
On Friday, the Fed was advised to step carefully in scaling back from its monetary easing by the International Monetary Fund, which also cut its U.S. growth outlook for next year to 2.7% from the 3% projected in April.
After climbing 29 points and falling 131, the Dow Jones Industrial Average /quotes/zigman/627449/realtime DJIA -0.42% lost 105.90 points, or 0.7%, to 15,070.18.
Down 1.2% for the week, the Dow on Friday made its fourth consecutive triple-digit move.
A day after its best session since Jan. 2, the S&P 500 index /quotes/zigman/3870025/realtime SPX -0.29% retreated 9.63 points, or 0.6%, to 1,626.73, with financials pacing the losses that included all but one of its 10 major sectors.
The S&P 500 finished with a 1% weekly drop.
The Nasdaq Composite /quotes/zigman/12633936/realtime COMP -0.39% shed 21.81 points, or 0.6%, to 3,423.56, leaving it off 1.3% from last Friday's close.
Decliners ran ahead of advancers on the New York Stock Exchange, where nearly 626 million shares traded. Composite volume neared 2.9 billion.
Energy prices rose, with crude-oil futures climbing to highs not seen since September, up $1.82 at $97.85 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Gold also gained, with futures rising $9.80 to close at $1,387.60 an ounce.

---- — DANVERS — A Salem judge has rejected Danvers Selectman Keith Lucy's bid to have an assault case sent back to a clerk magistrate for a new hearing.
Lucy, 47, was charged last fall with a single count of assault following an encounter with a Town Meeting member, Jack Fratus, inside Danvers Town Hall on the night of last September's primary election.
Fratus alleged that his wife and another friend were looking at election results on a board when Lucy cut in front of them, and that when Fratus confronted Lucy, a heated exchange ensued.
Fratus says Lucy raised his hand as if he was about to strike him, putting him in fear. He filed a civilian-signed criminal complaint in court, and after a show cause hearing before a Salem District Court assistant clerk magistrate, a criminal charge of assault was filed against Lucy.
Lucy's lawyer says two witnesses will testify that Lucy did not cut in front of the women, but was simply re-joining a woman who had accompanied him to Town Hall that night.
The lawyer, Michael Smerczynski, argued that Lucy did not have a lawyer with him on the day of the hearing, and was not able to present the two witnesses who could have rebutted the account offered by Fratus. He also questioned whether all of the elements of the crime of assault were presented.
"He says 'go ahead and hit me,'" Smerczynski quoted Fratus as saying in his complaint, "and then he says 'I'm afraid.'"
Yesterday, Judge Matthew Machera said he could see no justification for giving Lucy another show cause hearing before a clerk.
"You're asking me to revisit the hearing," Machera told the lawyer. But while the disputed facts "are certainly a great trial issue," he said there is no basis, procedurally, to grant a new hearing.
Prosecutor Lars Trautman cited prior cases and state law, which say that even a procedurally incorrect clerk's hearing does not justify remanding the case to a clerk. Instead, the way to deal with that is through a motion to dismiss on the grounds of insufficient evidence to support the complaint.
Machera suggested to Smerczynski that he consider filing a motion to dismiss the case if he believes there was insufficient evidence to support the charges.
Smerczynski said he would, and a hearing on that motion is now set for May 9.

Wisconsin residents will be looking for relief from blistering heat over the next couple of days.Forecasters say temperatures could reach the "triple digits".WUWM Environmental Reporter Susan Bence looked into a couple of "non human" ecosystems to see how they might cope with this rough patch of weather.
The latest round of Wisconsin recall elections – including the gubernatorial race - took place three weeks ago today. They're all history now, aside from the recall recount playing out in Racine County for the state senate seat apparently won by Democrat John Lehman.
Many of us are rightfully concerned about the safety of what we eat and what might be added to foods along the processing chain from farm to table. But Lake Effect essayist Judy Steininger says a knowing a little basic chemistry might help ease some of our concerns.
People crowded onto street in Walker's Point Thursday night, to celebrate the official opening of the new Clock Shadow Building.
Attendees dug into freshly scooped ice cream and fresh cheese curds – both produced on site.
WUWM Environmental Reporter Susan Bence stepped into the four-story structure to explore it unique elements.
Half the building that now stands atop a remediated brown field is made of repurposed material.
If you drive directly west from Milwaukee for about three and a half hours, you'll come to the city of Prairie du Chien, one of Wisconsin's oldest cities. Given its age and history, it's no surprise then that Prairie du Chien has some interesting connections to the American Civil War. This Saturday, the Prairie du Chien Historical Society will open a new permanent exhibit at the Fort Crawford Museum about the Swift U.S. Army General Hospital. It was one of only three hospitals in Wisconsin to care for wounded Civil War soldiers.
Land preservation runs deep in the psyche of the Badger State, from Aldo Leopold to Gaylord Nelson.Just north of Milwaukee, Ozaukee County is home to nearly 40 preserved parcels, but a group of volunteers fear these treasures remain "hidden" even to people who live nearby.
Wisconsin recently reported a sharp increase in new HIV infections. They rose nearly 20 percent from 2010 to 2011, with the most new cases in Milwaukee County. While the numbers are alarming and the population sometimes difficult to reach, those who connect early with the AIDS Resource Center of Wisconsin are in good hands. As WUWM's Erin Toner reports, it has become a one-stop-shop for the many services patients may need and is considered a national model.
During the course of a day, most of us use more than one tool to get what we need to get done…done. But what if you had to finish a normal day's work - with just one tool?
For the past week, young pianists have gathered in Milwaukee to vie for the title in the 2012 Piano Arts Competition. Since 1999, the biennial competition has launched the careers of numerous national and international performers. And it is one of the few competitions of its kind in the country.
Last month, we began the series Iron Brigade and Beyond: Wisconsin in the Civil War. In honor of the sesquicentennial of the war between the states, we're commemorating the role and sacrifice of the 91-thousand Wisconsin men and women who fought in some of the biggest battles of the war; yet received marginal attention.

he Glacial Rift of the Frost Giant Jarl was written by Gary Gygax and published in 1978 by TSR, Inc. Part two of a three-part series, it packed a lot of punch into eight pages and presented frost giants as iconic D&D monsters. The tripartite "Giants" series was later collected into a single adventure module titled Against the Giants, published by TSR in 1981.
This adventure is inspired by Gary Gygax's classic module but uses the latest Dungeons & Dragons Roleplaying Game rules. It is designed for characters of levels 16–18.
"Glacial Rift of the Frost Giant Jarl" can be run as a stand-alone adventure, or you can play it as the third part of a four-part series that begins with "Steading of the Hill Giant Chief" (Dungeon 197) and "Warrens of the Stone Giant Thane" (Dungeon 198), and concludes with "Hall of the Fire Giant King" (Dungeon 200).

The projected tax rate increase for residential property owners was lowered Tuesday by the Prince William County Board of Supervisors, and may see sharper cuts before the budget reaches final approval this spring.
In preparing for budget negotiations, Prince William County staff developed a budget that assumed an average tax bill increase of 4 percent for residential property owners.
Tasked Tuesday with determining the maximum increase that residents may expect on their tax bills, the board of supervisors voted 5-3 on an increase of slightly more than 3.5 percent.
Are you willing to pay more on your tax bill for county services? Why? Tell us in the comments section below.
As the advertised rate, that can be reduced over the next two months as the budget heads toward final approval, but it cannot increase.
Prince William County Schools issued a note on its website Wednesday noting the impact the lower rate will have on the school budget. Read more about the school district's response.
Inside Nova provides details on several attempts that the supervisors made in their attempt to find an agreeable rate until Michael May (R-Occoquan) found enough support:
May proposed advertising an average tax rate of $1.196 per $100 of assessed value, which he said is a 3.53 average tax bill increase. That motion passed with a 5-3 vote, with Supervisors Nohe, Jenkins, Caddigan and May voting yes and Candland, Covington and Stewart voting no.
Read more on the budget debate at Inside Nova.
Citizens interested in discussing the advertised tax rate can attend a meeting at the McCoart Building on April 9 at 7:30 p.m.
Correction: This post was update Feb. 22 to note the school district response to the reduced tax rate noted impacts to its proposed budget, but was not "critical" of the BOS decision.
