Editor's Note: We have fixed our technical glitch. The link to the list is hotlinked now and ready to read!!
Many parents will tell you that they very rarely get to go out for a good dinner alone and when they do they want it to be perfect. They are spending money to hire a babysitter, money on the dinner and know they won't get to try again anytime soon if they make a bad choice.
Michael and I get out maybe once every two to three months for a nice dinner alone. We've had a multitude of bad date night experiences over the last few years including:
After a depressing run of choosing poorly, I sent an email to the AJC's restaurant reviewer Meridith Ford Goldman and begged her to choose some no-fail, can't-screw-it-up restaurant choices for parents for date nights! And she did!
Not only did she choose some fantastic places for parents to go (not all inside the perimeter), she also divided them into helpful categories such as "Fun Dive Dates" (when you cash is low), "Worth the splurge" (to celebrate with your tax refund), or "Want to dress up? These places won't break your piggy bank."
Here is the link to the full list!
Also John Kessler, our roaming food columnist and a dad, has come up with tips for picking other great restaurants and for making your dining experience more fun.
So I can't wait to hire a babysitter and check out these recommendations. See what you think. Tell us if you've been to any of them. Tell us your favorite no-fail, date night restaurants. Also tell us about your date night horror stories where things just didn't come together!

T, do not feel bad about your minivan being judged. Years ago, we drove to Buckhead to meet some friends for dinner. My husband had a nice king cab truck. The valet really gave us an eye roll, as apparently our vehicle was not suitable for the restaurant. No problem, we have now decided to eat dinner where we do not need to valet park….LOL.
After my comment on trampolines yesterday ( that was substantiated by the American Pediatric Association) I will keep my Atlanta restaurant choices to myself. I am interested to see what the recommended places are.
Exception…if anyone ever gets to Nampa, Idaho…be sure to visit Copper Canyon, The food, wait staff, atmosphere and prices were all super! I ate there 2 nights in a row and loved it. Too bad I was by myself for business.
Have a sunny day all!

We've had a plethora (oh yes, I went there) of issues with restaurants on date night. Yeah the ITP valets sure are a snooty bunch. It's gotten to the point that in the rare occasions we get date night, we just go to our tried and true neighborhood sushi place.
But I will be looking for this list!

We don't have family around. We do have one lady we can pay to watch the child for a few hours, but its a hassle, so I don't remember going to dinner with my wife alone in 7 years. On the other hand, our child is very well mannered in restaurants, so we can take him with us without worry of problems.
Also, we prefer pizza joints and taco huts to expensive fancy places.
I would much prefer to spend that kind of money by taking the whole family to a Hawks game or on a mini vacation.

I cannot believe you are upset over some idiot valet rolling his eyes at your vehicle choice. Some people get so upset at the smallest things. I'm not going to let some 20 year old make me feel bad about the car I drive……seriously!!!!
I cannot believe you are upset about nasty hostesses. Next time, don't bother to call and cancel a reservation. They'll figure it out eventually……

We don't normally go to places with valet or reservations. Last week for our anniversary we got a babysitter and went to a Hibatchi place and a movie. Had a great time. Like someone said earlier,I'd rather spend the money on something else. You can get good food for reasonable prices without having to spend a fortune, especially in a big city/great suburbs like Atlanta offers. Then again, I'm not a food snob. If it's good, I'm eating it!! And the more inexpensive it is, the better!!

I don't like Valet parking in any situation. I mean, I'm young. I can walk to my car.
I always laugh at the folks who circle the mall or grocery store parking lot three times to get that premium parking spot. I drive to the back of the lot, walk the 200 yards into the store while you are still circling.
The funniest thing though is to see someone circling a parking lot at the gym.

I encourage my niece and her husband to go out often. I babysit with the kiddies for free so that they can spend the money on places to eat. They love to try new places. I am not sure if they have ever been to the same place twice.
April 28th, 2010
9:08 am
I don't get why there needs to be a list (which isn't up yet!) of date night restaurants. If you're without your kids, you can go anywhere you want. I guess it's a big deal since many of us don't get out a whole lot just with the significant other and we want a good experience, but really just pick any good place in the ATL area and have fun!
April 28th, 2010
9:12 am
And I'm clearly in a cynical mood this morning, but Theresa, when you have had to call and cancel a reservation, why are you telling them that it's because your sitter couldn't make it or whatever? You don't have to offer an explanation; just say something's come up or be similarly vague and say sorry we can't make it. Also, I really can't stand the term "date night." Just say you and your spouse/SO are going out, having an evening to yourselves, etc. It's one of those terms I wish would just go away!
April 28th, 2010
9:15 am
I don't ever do expensive dinners. I just can't see spending that much money on a meal. My husband and I really don't like what I call Froo-Froo Food. I'd rather just go to Carrabba's and have dinner. Even on our anniversary ever year, we think about where we'd like to go, but when it comes down to it, we like to stick with our favorites. My son is 6, so he likes to go to restaurants (like Carrabba's) where he can watch them cook. That usually gets him interested enough to sit still for dinner.
April 28th, 2010
9:36 am
Theresa–agree you do need to cancel a restaurant reservation same as you would cancel at the hair salon or a doctor/dentist's office as a courtesy so someone else could possibly take your spot, but there's no need to tell a snooty hostess why you're canceling. Now that the list is up, I'm a bit disappointed that there are so few places listed. I can vouch for Bistro VG as a great adult restaurant. We have an incredibly well-behaved child who goes pretty much everywhere we do, but after having gone to VG with just the spouse, I can definitely recommend you'd want to leave the kiddies at home for that one!

I drive a 2004 Dodge Caravan that has scratches on the side and Grateful Dead stickers on the back. Usually there are lots of Goldfish and cereal bits spilled in the floor. I've NEVER had snootiness from a valet, and I live intown and luckily get to go out to dinner a lot more than many parents. The valets at the Ritz Carlton always act like I drove up in a Bentley! Is it possible that you feel self-concious about your mini van, so you think they're being snotty? Honestly, if one is TRULY snotty to you, don't tip and you may want to say -as you're getting your car back -"It may not be a mercedes, but at least I don't park cars for a living…" (I'm not saying there's anything wrong with doing that for a living -unless your'e going to be an a** to people about their cars.)
We usually have the best date nights when we go to a good gastropub -above average food and it's fun to have some drinks like we used to do all the time before kids. The Glenwood in East Atlanta is great for this type of thing. It's also fun, adventurous and CHEAP to try something on Buford Highway and pair that with a movie at the Regal 24 I-85 theaters. The Vortex in L5P and Midtown are great cheap date nights -especially if you like a bar-like atmosphere -and on one under 18 is ever allowed in there, plus all of their food is fantastic -burgers, sandwiches, and appetizers.
If you want to go more upscale -we like Watershed in Decatur. Good, honest food in a nice atmosphere with a good wine list. Also, Wisteria in Inman Park/L5P is great. When we really want to get fancy, we hit Nikolai's Roof at the top of the Hilton downtown. If you want a REALLY fancy, fun, old-school treat -you have to try this! The food is impeccable and the service is on par with what kings, queens and presidents receive. The decor is a delight of kitchy-ness -actually very pretty with great views, but kind of 70s/80s. You'll drop $200-300 here, but it's worth it! We've had some phenomenally special meals there.
A big disappointment for us was Bacchanalia. We keep feeling that we should give it another try, but we don't really want a repeat for that kind of money. B**chy server; food not cooked properly, and LOUD. Ahhhh -we STILL miss Iris in East Atlanta. That was our favorite date night place. Great food, intimate but comfortable atmosphere, and the WINE -oh -the wine list was spectacular! It also wasn't break-the-bank expensive.

Well, I guess some of you would refer to us as "snobs" since we like to go to "froo-froo" places on special occasions, and sometimes on "not special" occasions. Our kids are now much older than most of these readers' kids (out of college, and almost out of college-graduation is next week) and we have always made a big deal of birthdays for them. We have always included them at the "froo'froo" places even as youngsters – that was a learning experience for them, and, fortunately, they were always very well behaved (I am a stickler for at least my kids behaving in public – many a time I have had to take one out of a place when they acted up).
At the same time, my spouse and I like to celebrate out birthdays at the restaurants that give free dinners to the "birthday" person – it means we have to "prove" our age, but that is OK to get a free meal at a place like Provino's!
The only drawback is that the kids really LOVE the fancy stuff – but as long as we can still afford it AND food on the table the other days, we shall keep the tradition alive.

If you have a problem with the service of a restaraunt or its employees you need to be vocal and say WHY you do not wish to do business with them.
If you do not make clear, in no uncertain terms, what stupid, rude, or lame thing they did, you're just enabling it happening more and more.
Get mad! Do something about it! Speak out!
…also I find it fascinating in kind of a sad way that a valet would give you attitude. Considering most of them are probably driving high-mileage rice-out Honda Civics. >:/

April 28th, 2010

A bit off topic; before my last trip to Atlanta, I had heard about a store called the Junkman's Daughter. Is that still around?
As for a night out with my wife, it doesn't happen often. Last time we did so, it was Valentine's Day (I got lucky… Not what you think!). Our sitter was able to take the boys for a few hours and we had a nice meal. Sat right in front of a combo (guitar player and singer) and it was a great time. It was just nice to have some adult time!
April 28th, 2010
9:57 am
I am honestly curious: what's wrong with the term "date night"?
April 28th, 2010
9:58 am
My idea of a great date night……take the kids to a sitter/family friend/relative. Hit the grocery store and find something there you really like, but don't buy often (maybe the kids don't like fish, or get a big ole steak, some salad, etc). Get a nice bottle of wine. Go home, by yourselves, cook together, light some candles, dim the lights, put on some music, have a few glasses of wine, eat and get nekkid.
Then have the sitter bring the kids home later….
April 28th, 2010
10:00 am
Even better, don't have kids. Then do what you want most of the time. :^)
April 28th, 2010
10:00 am
If you're married or living with someone and raising kids together, date night just seems like such a strange term. I mean dates are what you have when you're single; why use that term after you've settled down? Just call it a night out without the kids, or be specific about where you are going rather than calling it a date night.
April 28th, 2010
10:01 am
Yeah, but whaddya do after you get nekkid?
April 28th, 2010
10:02 am
Just hopefully you don't fall asleep, nekkid, then have the sitter AND the kids come home!
April 28th, 2010
10:02 am
We typically (sp?) don't go to a lot of fancy places to eat, but I'm not totally against them..If it were left up to me 100%, we would try a lot of more upscale restaurants, but my husband is not as adventrious (sp?) with food as I am..As for the kids, we take them anywhere that we go..They have been going to nicer places with us for 6 years, so they know how to behave when we are out..
Theresa, I'm with any of the others that said it, yes you do call and cancel..I hate for someone to tell me they are going to be somewhere, then just not show up without calling me..As for your vehicle, I wouldn't let it bother me one bit what the kid at valet parking thinks of it..One day, he'll either be driving the same kind of car, something much nicer or riding the bus..

When I went down to Atlanta, I wanted to visit because of the vintage clothing and it sounded like a pretty neat place. I didn't make it as I was heading to the airport. I thought I left early enough until I got on the highway and got caught in LOTS of traffic. I found out later that it was always like that.
Back to food. I did eat at Varsity!

Sounds like yall could use some better ideas for dates than dinner or a movie. I can relate, been there. It makes me glad my kids are grown and out of the house, as far as that goes.
April 28th, 2010
10:17 am
@Becky, I think it's great bringing kids to "nicer" restaurants. We've been doing just that for years, except for those few months around the terrible 2s stage. My son is 7, and the restaurant would have to be pretty "froo froo" for us to not bring him along, and while I would love to go to Bacchanalia since I'm a foodie, I don't anticipate going anytime soon, so in the meantime we do go as a family to places I consider nice. And many nicer places do have kids menus, which is a huge plus!
April 28th, 2010
10:24 am
Well, for a while there I was really into the old bowling shirts – still wear them on Wayne's Wacky Shirt day (which is typically Fridays).
What's that saying? What'll ya have?
April 28th, 2010
10:31 am
@Wayne -Junkman's Daughter is still in Little Five Points and a very cool place. Not really vintage clothing though -but around the corner is Stefan's Vintage, which just got recognized by some publication as one of the top 5 vintage stores in the nation -and I heartily agree. LOVELY items! Also, there are other stores in Little Five catering to used and vintage clothing -Clothing Wearhouse and a few more.
@JJ -that is STILL my favorite date night -and half the time it doesn't even require sending the kids away. Mine are still the age that after 8 or 8:30 PM -we can retire to our screened deck and pop open the wine, have some really good food and do whatever we want….;-)
One other GREAT thing we do for "date nights" is go see live music. If you enjoy it, it's such a good spirit lifter to see a band you really enjoy. We are very fortunate to have great smaller music venues in this town like Variety Playhouse, The Five Spot, Northside Tavern, Blind Willies, Fatt Matt's, etc. You don't have to fork over $100 a ticket for a "BIG" show! Also -investigate the theater. We also have a wealth of great theater and improv places -Shakespeare Tavern is awesome, Alliance, Horizon, Actor's Express, Seven Stages -great performances by some really talented people. A fabulous date night is to go to Theater Sports at Dad's Garage in Inman Park. HILARIOUS! Break out of the mold -that will enliven your relationship more than you thought possible! Heck, even the Center for Puppetry Arts had "adult" productions from time to time. That ought to give you something to talk about!
April 28th, 2010
10:32 am
Has anyone tried Prime Park at the Mall of Georgia? I hear that's an EXCELLENT steakhouse. Rather pricey, but well worth is is what I am told. I will probably never go there, as I much prefer to cook a steak at home on my charcol grill with friends and/or family. I'm not a big fan of spending four times more money for the same thing. I can buy two beautiful ribeye steaks at Publix for $15.00, and at a steakhouse, one alone is $25.00.
I understand the need for some to go out to a nice restaurant. I just don't have that kind of money…..and it kills me to spend that much for a steak dinner, when I know I can get the same thing at home for MUCH LESS…..but that's just me and my frugality…LOL thats a new word by the way…..
April 28th, 2010
10:33 am
Theresa, I get to bond with my sister's grandkids who are almost as much mine. I love them so much it hurts. I never had children, but I have always been involved in the lives of my nieces and nephews. It makes life worth living.
April 28th, 2010
11:06 am
I'm with you, JJ, sort of. I love going to nice restaurants, but not for something I can cook at home. I want to go places, usually upper medium-priced, that have interesting menus and new recipes constantly being created by the chef.
And thanks a lot, JATL, for mentioning Watershed. Now I'm going to crave chocolate cake all day! ;)
A, I promise not to use "date night", if you'll drop "foodie".
April 28th, 2010
11:09 am
JATL – there's also A TON of free concerts at local parks. Just a few weeks ago, The Return (Beatles band) was at Suwanee Town Park. Very family oriented.
Mother's Finest is playing in Snellville this weekend, for Snellville Days. Although it's supposed to rain, a bunch of friends are meeting there, and we are bringing KFC and all kinds of picnic stuff, and hanging out and watching the concert. Like I said, it's free and good music and fun with friends.
April 28th, 2010
11:28 am
Wow, I must be a hard-core bitch. It never occurred to me to give the hostess an explanation when cancelling a reservation — she's not my mother. And if she's snotty, then the manager will hear about it, politely but firmly. If I went for the "early-bird" special, it's going to take a Mack truck to move me from my seat before I am good and ready — it's not as if they can jerk the chair out from under you. And if a valet has the bad manners to sneer at my van (that my son "christened" with a guardrail before I had had it for 10 days!), then they are going to find their tip rather small.
Doormats, rise up! Don't take this nonsense from service people! It's supposed to be SERVICE, not INTIMIDATION. I am polite and reasonable until they forget just who in the hell it is that is signing that check, and at that point, I remind them. Politely. And never come back.
Our anniversary is this Saturday, and we are going to spend it down at Calloway, weather permitting. If not this weekend, then next weekend — after all these years, the exact day isn't a big deal. :-)
April 28th, 2010
11:44 am
@HB, Deal! I'll stop using "foodie." The ironic thing is I don't particularly like that term either, but I guess in a blog posting I got lazy and used it. And I also agree with other posters about not ordering items at restaurant that I can cook as well at home. If we're spending $$ on a meal out, I want it to be something I either don't have the skills to make myself or just don't have the inclination to make at home.

The Packers have signed free agent tight end Matthew Mulligan to a one year contract, believed to be around the veteran minimum. The 28 year old Mulligan played for the St. Louis Rams in 2012, appearing in all 16 games. He spent most of the prior three years with the New York Jets. Mulligan is 6-4, 265 pounds who played collegiately at the University of Maine. He was an undrafted free agent signed by Miami in 2008 and also spent time on the Tennessee Titans practice squad. Mulligan is more an in line tight end than a receiving threat and will essentially replace Tom Crabtree who signed a restricted free agent deal with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Teaching ideas based on New York Times content.
Sept. 17 is Constitution Day, the day when the writers at the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia signed the United States Constitution in 1787.
Dust is far from gathering on this 225-year-old document, however (not least because it is preserved in the highly protected, temperature-regulated National Archives case): The Constitution influences our lives, schools and government every single day.
Each school day is an opportunity to make the Constitution relevant in your classroom by empowering students to research big questions, think critically, defend their arguments with evidence and speak their opinions with the protections that the Constitution entitles us. And each news day offers new opportunities to have them do this by wrestling with real-life issues.
For instance, witness last week's biggest news story — the protests in the Middle East against an American-made online video mocking the Prophet Muhammad — and think about the constitutional questions involved.

Detecting Danger: Applying a Novel Immunological Concept to Intrusion Detection Systems'
Greensmith, Julie and Aickelin, Uwe and Twycross, Jamie (2004) Detecting Danger: Applying a Novel Immunological Concept to Intrusion Detection Systems'. In: 6th International Conference in Adaptive Computing in Design and Manufacture, 2004, Bristol, UK.
INTRODUCTION In recent years computer systems have become increasingly complex and consequently the challenge of protecting these systems has become increasingly difficult. Various techniques have been implemented to counteract the misuse of computer systems in the form of firewalls, antivirus software and intrusion detection systems. The complexity of networks and dynamic nature of computer systems leaves current methods with significant room for improvement. Computer scientists have recently drawn inspiration from mechanisms found in biological systems and, in the context of computer security, have focused on the human immune system (HIS). The human immune system provides an example of a robust, distributed system that provides a high level of protection from constant attacks. By examining the precise mechanisms of the human immune system, it is hoped the paradigm will improve the performance of real intrusion detection systems. This paper presents an introduction to recent developments in the field of immunology. It discusses the incorporation of a novel immunological paradigm, Danger Theory, and how this concept is inspiring artificial immune systems (AIS). Applications within the context of computer security are outlined drawing direct reference to the underlying principles of Danger Theory and finally, the current state of intrusion detection systems is discussed and improvements suggested.

GBI Investigators are asking for your help to solve a Coffee County murder mystery. They say not much time elapsed between when Edith Sheffield was last seen alive and when she was killed in her home Friday night.
A fire destroyed that home, and her body was found the next day. The last person to have any contact with the 49-year-old grandmother was her killer.
Agents are hopeful someone passing by her home Friday night before it burned down with her body inside might yield some clues they're looking for. Broxton massive fire last Friday night that destroyed the Broxton home of 49-year-old Edith Sheffield.
But at the time her whereabouts were unknown. "We were assisted by the Georgia State Patrol. Their aviation unit came in and we flew around the area to see if we could see anything. While that was going on the house was also being searched," GBI Agent Russell Mansfield said.
It wasn't until late the following afternoon after sifting through the debris of the 2,800 square foot house that investigators found Sheffield's remains. An autopsy revealed yesterday it wasn't the fire that claimed her life. "At which time it revealed she had been murdered," Mansfield said. "That's correct. At the point of the autopsy we knew that it was a homicide."
Agents won't reveal how Sheffield was murdered. They do know she left work at First National Bank of Coffee County around 6:00 Friday night. About 30 minutes later, the first call came in about the fire at her home at 10817 Bowens Mill Road.
"There's a really tight time window there and if anyone saw anything prior to her arrival at the residence or shortly after her arrival at the residence, we would certainly like to talk to them and could definitely use that information."
Still, many wonder why anyone would want to take the life of this mother and grandmother whose death remains a mystery. The family did not wish to appear on camera but says Edith was a good, Christian woman.
Fire investigators though still not saying the cause of the fire. GBI Agents would not tell us is they believe the killer set the fire. If you have any information call the GBI in Douglas at 912-389-4103.

Brenan Keller delights in playing the role of guinea pig. As one of a handful of Tulane University students who are in the School of Science and Engineering's fledgling coordinate computer science major, he can't think of a better, more practical way to prepare for his future.
"My goal is to be covered on the business and technology front," says Keller, a senior business major. "My ideal job would be product development or project management for a technology company like Google or an entrepreneurial venture."
Tulane University is building a new computer science program that provides outstanding curricular offerings taught by faculty who are internationally recognized for their research on applications of computer science to related disciplines.
The Tulane Computer Science Program began offering introductory courses in Fall 2011. In June, 2012, the Department was re-established and three new regular faculty were hired: Ram Mettu, Brent Venable and Carola Wenk. During the 2012–2013 academic year we established an undergraduate coordinate major in computer science. Over the next few years, we will expand the faculty to achieve a critical mass of 8–10 regular faculty who will establish a Ph.D. program. Eventually we also will establish a stand alone major in computer science. Our goal is a program that features innovative approaches to computer science that focuses on the application of computer science to related disciplines.
Our approach to building the program is to establish research groups in a number of areas, each of which will have a senior faculty member leading the group. We currently have a group in algorithms comprised of Professors Mettu and Wenk. Professor Venable, who has a joint appointment with the Institute for Human and Machine Cognition in Ocala, Florida, works in computational social choice, an area within Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. Professor Michael Mislove, the chair of the department, has a joint appointment in mathematics, and he works in computational models and the mathematical and logical foundations of the discipline.
This year we are targeting hires in machine learning and in systems, and we'll also consider applicants from other areas of computer science. Each of our regular positions has the possibility of a joint appointment with IHMC. Our goal is to continue to develop a distinguished faculty representing a broad range of areas of computer science. We anticipate starting our own Ph.D. program within the next three years. In the interim, our coordinate major for undergraduates has already attracted a number of students from across the campus, including students from the Business School. Even though this is its first year, we anticipate some students graduating next spring with the coordinate major.
We are keenly interested in attracting graduate students working in related areas who want to introduce a computer science component to their graduate work. One possibility is for students to pursue an Interdisciplinary Ph.D., which involves work in more than one department. Students interested in this option should contact any of our faculty about the possibilities.
The guiding principle in all of our efforts — hiring, undergraduate and graduate education and research — is to focus on applications of computer science to related areas of science and engineering already present at Tulane, as well as to develop a strong group of faculty in core computer science. Our goal is to be a leading program with an innovative curriculum that is known for education and research at the interface between computer science and other disciplines.

3 Doors Down bassist Robert Todd Harrell on Wednesday lost an appeal of a DUI conviction stemming from a 2012 accident in D'Iberville, Mississippi.
Harrell, 41, was fined one thousand dollars and was given a suspended two-day jail sentence, according to Mississippi's The Sun Herald . He also was ordered to enroll in impairment and victim impact programs within a month.
Police had said Harrell failed to stop at an intersection and crashed his Cadillac into a pickup truck in D'Iberville in July of 2012. An officer testified during a hearing that Harrell told police following the crash that he had five different prescription pills in his system.
Last April, Harrell was arrested on a charge of vehicular homicide following a fatal car accident in the Nashville area that took the life of a 47-year-old man. That case is pending.

PROVIDENCE ŌĆō If General Treasurer Gina RaimondoŌĆÖs pension reform proposal does not pass, Woonsocket Mayor Leo Fontaine told a joint House and Senate Finance Committee hearing Thursday, his already hard-hit city would face a 12 percent tax increase just to fund the cityŌĆÖs pension plans.
WOONSOCKET ŌĆō A former textile manufacturing complex that helped put the city on the map is entering its final days before a demolition crew erases it from the Hamlet Avenue and Davison Street landscape.
City Economic Development Director Matthew Wojcik reported this week that plans are moving forward for the razing of the former French Worsted mill complex at 153 Hamlet Ave., the last buildings of a textile manufacturing operation that once filled both sides of Hamlet Avenue.
NORTH PROVIDENCE --- For a team that hasnŌĆÖt experienced many close contests this year, North Smithfield handled the pressure of Friday nightŌĆÖs Division IV nailbiter on the road with North Providence quite well.
The Northmen picked up a huge victory before a large crowd, a 27-21 overtime triumph, that not only spoiled the CougarsŌĆÖ ŌĆśSenior NightŌĆÖ festivities, but also saw one of N.S.ŌĆÖs youngest players, sophomore receiver Peter Keenan, score the game-winning touchdown on a reverse handoff.
CUMBERLAND -ŌĆō The pressure is off.
Cumberland High secured its first playoff berth in three years on Friday night, shocking previously-unbeaten Central, 19-6, at Tucker Field. Senior running back Ryan Gaumond scored twice for the Clippers, who improved to 4-2 in Division II-A and fourth place in the division. The Knights dropped to 5-1.
Bernardette Plasse
BLACKSTONE- Bernardette Plasse, 94, of Blackstone, MA, passed away peacefully on Thursday, October 27, 2011 at Landmark Medical Center with family by her side. Born in Woonsocket, RI on May 1, 1917, she was the beloved daughter of the late Napoleon and Lea (Girard) Plasse and the loving sister of Rita E. Menard of Blackstone and the late Aldor, Theodore, Roland, Leonard, Napoleon, Joseph and Mary Jane Plasse, Florence Guilmette and Violet Hogue. She also leaves many nieces and nephews.
Normand G.
Gagnon Jr.
BURRILLVILLE- Normand G. Gagnon Jr. 42, resident of Harrisville, died October 22, 2011 at Landmark Medical Center in Woonsocket.
Born in Woonsocket, a son of Normand G. Gagnon Sr. of Harrisville and the late Jane (McFadden) Gagnon.
Normand was a life long resident of Burrillville, he worked for the CVS Co. He loved and enjoyed spending time with his niece and nephew.
Besides his father he is survived his brother Jamie Gagnon and his wife Suzette, nephew, Evan Gagnon and niece Halie Gagnon all of Foster.
WOONSOCKET ŌĆö Perfect regular season. Three more wins and it will be the perfect ending.
Mount St. Charles Academy finished up the league portion of its Division I-North slate unbeaten on Thursday night, courtesy of a 3-1 victory over visiting La Salle Academy on Senior Night with scores of 25-20, 25-12, 21-25, 25-20.
Mount concludes it second straight 14-0 league season and now prepares for the quarterfinals as the No. 1 seed in the state tournament next weekend, tentatively scheduled for Friday, Nov. 4, on its home court.
Before Tolman can set its sights on a repeat Division II-B regular-season title, the Tigers are going to have to overcome a tall order tonight -- namely one of the biggest and best defensive teams in all of Division II in West Warwick.
The Wizards, who are 4-1 and a game behind Tolman (5-0) in the standings, boast plenty of size in their front seven with veteran linemen Aaron Koehler and Cesar Jimenez and two defensive ends that clearly have the attention of Tolman head coach Dave Caito.
LINCOLN ŌĆö Holding his finger and thumb less than an inch apart, Gov. Lincoln Chafee told the Northern Rhode Island Chamber of Commerce Thursday that the state is ŌĆ£this closeŌĆØ to intervening in the financial affairs of East Providence, at least in part due to pension obligations.
ŌĆ£Nobody wants to hear the word Central Falls, but ŌĆö trust me, itŌĆÖs not just in Rhode Island, all across the country ŌĆö municipalities are really under stress. And here in Rhode Island, this is our time to help these municipalities.
WOONSOCKET ŌĆō What is an appropriate slogan for the 2011 Mount St. Charles girlsŌĆÖ volleyball teams?
ŌĆ£Keep the good times rollingŌĆØ seems applicable, given that the Mounties under the careful watch and observation of head coach Josh DŌĆÖAbate have blossomed into a perennial championship contender. Standing at 13-0 in Division I-North with one regular season game remaining ŌĆō tonight at home vs. La Salle ŌĆō this Mount team is following in the footsteps of its decorated predecessors (MSC has posted a whopping 65-10 regular-season record since 2007, winning the Div. II championship in 2009).

Weight loss is a topic that has been preoccupying the world for a long while now. Losing weight is not just a matter of aesthetics in most of the cases and it is also a matter of health since extra-pounds can damage certain parts of your body. If you have decided that it is time to shed all those extra-pounds, then you may be on your way to acquiring as much information as possible – and that is a very good thing because you will avoid potentially harmful things.
However, be prepared to have your "beliefs" shattered when it comes to fat burners and be prepared to find out that you may have been wrong in certain things regarding these weight loss supplements.
The first thing you may have been wrong about when it came to fat burners is related to their effectiveness. Like many of the people out there, you may have believed that these fat burning supplements are just scams and that they are nothing more than pills containing certain vitamins. However, this is not true and you should know that as long as you combine these diet supplements with healthy eating and exercise, you can reap all the benefits they can bring into your life (including faster weight loss).
The second thing you may have been wrong about is related to the fact that you may have believed that what was great for your best friend will be great for you as well. As a matter of fact, each body reacts different to the various ingredients contained by these pills and you should be absolutely certain that your body will work well with them as well. Certain medical conditions, as well as the fact that you may be under medication can lead to different adverse effects when they are combined with the weight loss supplements. Thus, do make sure to check with a medical professional first!
Last, but not least, you may not have understood the difference in the various types of fat burners and in the various types of diet pills. The truth is that there are a lot of manufacturers out there and that you should make sure to buy pills that are high quality, natural and reliable. Furthermore, you should make sure that the fat burners you buy are what you need. Although all the fat burners focus on boosting the metabolism, the truth is that they are not all the same when it comes to their properties and that you should carefully read about how each of the types of fat burners out there can help you with their additional features (such as appetite suppressing qualities, for example).

Celebrating New Zealand Science
The winners of the 2010 round of the Prime Minister's Science Prizes will be announced on the 26th November.
Please refer to this website for further updates.
Nominations for the 2014 Prime Minister's Science Prizes close in early August, giving established and emerging New Zealand research teams and scientists three weeks to complete their entries for the country's most valuable science awards.
Now in their sixth year, the five prizes are designed to raise the profile and prestige of science and to recognise talented scientists who are working on projects that are of real benefit to New Zealand. In total, they award $1 million. Read more…
Dr Rob McKay, recipient of the Prime Minister's MacDiarmid Emerging Scientist Prize in 2011, says winning the prize has added significant momentum to his career. The prize is worth $200,000, with $150,000 to be used for support the researcher's ongoing work, and $50,000 for the recipient to use as they choose. Dr McKay's specialist area is glacial sedimentology, where he uses marine sedimentary records and glacial deposits to reconstruct episodes of melting and cooling in Antarctica over the last 13 million years.

Multiverse Madness
I laughed out loud when I read in Jim Manzi's NRO article "It's very hard to see how ID can do this, but I guess that anything's possible." Well, sure - if multiverses cover all the possibilities, then in one of those possibilities, ID could be true. Hey, it's *possible*. As to science fiction, the stories I read as a young pup were all about taking some element of the known universe, and asking "what if it were not true?" But the really interesting part is where Linde says in the Discover article "Well, I don't know about God, but the universe itself might reproduce itself eternally in all its possible manifestations." This is interesting because God basically dares us to prove that Jesus *didn't* rise from the dead. So Linde *could* know about God. But evidently he has chosen to *not* know. I have heard of no one who took God's dare seriously who did not become a Christian. There are many, like Linde, who will grasp at imaginary straws to avoid the dare, but they show that their interest in the scientific pursuit of truth comes with conditions attached.
I couldn't give an opinion on that. But the phrase "dark energy" sounds cool and thus, might fit well in a sci-fi.
I think dark energy propulsion holds more promise than warp engine technology. http://www.cosmosmagazine.com/news/2141/dark-energy-spacecraft-could-fly-faster-light
Well, as long as warp speed is not clearly defined, it is not impossible simply undiscovered.
The Star Trek spin-offs have survived despite their appeal to theoretical impossibilities like "warp" speed etc. I think sci-fi can cheat a little and survive just fine as long as the characters and stories are good :)
Well if the theory dies of natural causes it will be annoying to sci-fi. Not only are you deprived of parralel universe stories, temporary transuniversal travel is the primary "hand-wave" for faster then light travel. Of course that is a minor problem; an author can do what he wants and is not bound by the laws of nature but only the laws of subcreation. Still it is an interesting quibble.

I read this book poolside while I was on holiday last week, and I laughed outloud at least once every chapter! That makes a good book. Her writing style is honest and funny and easy to relate to. She doesn't gloss over the difficult parts of her relationship with her partner or the farm. As readers, we journey along with her as she figures out how to balance all the parts of her life. This is a great read!

Become Your Spouse's Soul Mate
- Monday, February 02, 2009
It's more difficult to look at marriage as we actually experience it, taking note of its deep fantasies, its hidden emotions,
and its place in the life of the soul; not looking for perfection, but asking what the soul is doing when it entices us toward such a demanding form of relationship. —Thomas Moore
There's a wispy goatee on his chin, just a few strands of curly blondish hair, straggly and long. He reaches up every few minutes and plays with the hairs, curling them around his fingers, twisting and twirling and then smoothing them out again. For all I can tell, his goatee is the only thing in the world that truly fascinates him.
He's sitting directly across the desk from me, just a few feet away, but he avoids making eye contact. Instead, he occasionally seems interested in a montage of pictures on the wall behind my desk—photos of Lisa and me traveling through China with our daughter Julie. In one photo we are hiking upward along the Great Wall. Another shows us dining, cross-legged around a common table, in a small rural village. Looking past me Garrett stares at the pictures, clicking the top of his pen.
The young husband rubs his chin, stares at the picture on the wall, clicks his pen. So far he hasn't said much, though he blushed out a shy hello earlier as I welcomed him into my office. He seems to be the strong and silent type—big on staring and clicking.
Click-click. Click-click. Click-click.
The noise must drive his wife crazy, I think to myself. Does he do this at home? As a marriage and family counselor I am familiar with all manners of passive–aggressive behavior, but I've never seen pen-clicking used as a weapon of avoidance or payback.
His wife, seated beside him, seems not to notice. In this couple she is clearly the social one—warm and outgoing. She looks straight across the desk, directly into my eyes, making sure I'm paying attention to her. When she speaks her voice is clear and strong, cutting through the noise of the pen clicks.
"We're not here because of any problems" is Danielle's opening statement to me. "It's not that. We have a good marriage. We love each other and we both love our kids."
She watches me, makes sure I understand this, checks to be quite certain of my agreement before proceeding further. She's dressed in upscale business casual today, a cream-colored oxford shirt tucked in over neatly pressed khakis. Her husband slouches in his chair, absently rubbing his goatee. He's wearing a wrinkled T-shirt over faded jeans. His sandals are old, tattered, wearing out at the straps and heels.
Opposites attract.
Leaning back in my seat I nod at the young wife, silently inviting her to continue with her story. After many years of practice my nod is a way of saying, I'm listening; I'm very receptive to what you're telling me. I halfway agree with you so far, even though you're just beginning to open up. So please tell me more.
Quite a lot of content for one nod. It's taken years to refine it.
The young wife sighs, interprets the nod correctly, and then plunges forward.
"It's just…" Danielle begins. She wrinkles her nose, showing a small dimple in her left cheek, clearly trying to find the just-right phrasing to express her many thoughts. "Well, it's just that both of us feel like we're not really connecting anymore. I mean we live together, and we're raising two children together, but most of the time I feel like we're complete strangers. It's like we don't even know each other.
"We almost never talk about anything meaningful, or go for long walks, or do anything romantic together. All we do is get up every morning and go through the same old motions. We don't scream or fight—I sometimes think it might be better if we did!"
Her husband glances up at me, sees me looking at him, and quickly looks away. He strokes his goatee and clicks his pen.
Click-click. Click-click. Click-click.
I consider telling him to stop. Rethinking it, I decide to ignore the sound as if it couldn't possibly matter. I don't even hear it. I sit quietly and gather my thoughts for a moment—waiting, listening. Then I look patiently at the wife, who is wrinkling her nose again and about to speak.
"We don't really know why we came to see you," she continues. "Except it just feels like there ought to be more than this, you know? I mean, is this what marriage is? You live together, one of you chases kids around all day, and one of you goes off to work and then comes home? You eat together and sleep together, and eventually you get old?"
She's not aware of it, but her voice has gotten louder. She's been leaning forward in her seat, almost making a speech. She is obviously passionate about this topic and is getting herself a little worked up. It's clear she's been thinking about these issues and wondering if there's more to life, or if she should just settle for an "ordinary" marriage—a marriage like the ones she sees all around her, including at church.
They must be about five years in, I think to myself. Two kids, all the normal parental challenges and adjustments going on, not much real intimacy or relational depth. I give them four years minimum, seven years maximum, probably five years.
"How long have you been married?" I ask the wrinkly-nosed wife.
"Almost six years," she sighs. "It will be six years this June."
I say nothing, absorbing her answer, letting the silence congeal for a moment. I give myself imaginary bonus points for guessing the duration of their marriage union, although truly it's not difficult. After a while the patterns emerge clearly and visibly.
Danielle's husband clicks his pen again, staring at the grouping of China photos. He seems to be wondering if there's any point at all to marriage counseling, any point to going through all of this. His body language tells me he thinks he's wasting his time—he'd rather not be here. Has he heard anything his wife has said to me? Was he even listening? It may be impossible to know, but it's definitely time to find out.
I look directly at him, smiling, waiting until he meets my gaze.
"What could be better about your marriage?" I ask him. "What needs improving?"
He gives me a wry, Bart Simpson grin. "More sex would be nice," he says.
His wife elbows him in the stomach, and immediately they start a fake fight.
They're punching and scratching at each other, halfheartedly, giggling. I get a glimpse of the relational glue that's held them together so far. It's encouraging to see. Marriages are a lot like paper airplanes or fragile kites—although they're meant to soar, the world is a windy and sometimes stormy place. A lot of kites crash. Too many planes start out aiming skyward but end up nose-down in the dirt, crumpled and broken.
Garrett and Dani love each other—it shows in their fake-fighting. She's punching him in the left shoulder and he's slapping at her, not really connecting, trying to ward her off and yet keep her fighting back at the same time. Both of them are laughing out loud.
If love is friendship on fire, it's nice to see a few sparks fly.
I let the silly fight play out for a few minutes. It seems to de-stress the husband. And his wife is enjoying the chance to slap him around a little. She scores a few good hits, probably because he allows it. I notice he is fighting carefully, not using much force. They don't seem angry at each other; they seem playful, competitive, and childlike.
They pause in mid-battle, both a little embarrassed but relaxed and happier also. It's good for them to be like this, young and crazy, fake-fighting. Mr. Strong-and-Silent has come alive in this exchange, and now he's trying to tickle his wife into submission.
It isn't working.

Raising quality replacement heifers is Tim Haines' bread and butter. For this Oklahoma rancher, having as much genetic information as possible for both himself and his customers is important, so he takes advantage of the genetic evaluation profiles offered through DNA testing from Igenity.
He combines that with other selection tools, visual appraisal and EPDs to make breeding decisions. And he shares that information with customers so they can select replacement females with the traits they desire.
But with all the technology, applying DNA testing can seem overwhelming as more traits and profile analyses are offered by various companies. With so many options, producers have been reluctant to jump in.
Dave Korbelik, global marketing manager at Pfizer Animal Genetics, says that many producers are still taking a wait-and-see approach. But now there are more opportunities to look at sire and female selection beyond progeny data and EPDs.
In addition to providing data, some companies offer management software tools to help sort through the data and rank animals.
"We have a couple of management software tools where the DNA results come to customers and they can run custom sorts and rank animals," says Kevin DeHaan of Igenity. "Benchmarking tools also help producers compare themselves to peers in their industry."
Who's your daddy? Probably the most common use for DNA testing is to identify sires. For producers using multiple sire pastures during breeding season, it can be a guessing game to know which sire produced which calf. A simple DNA test can identify the sire.
Haines has collected DNA samples on all of his bulls and used parentage testing for the past five years. With an 800-head cowherd split into spring and fall calving groups on multi-sire pastures during breeding season, parentage testing helps determine which sire produced a potential replacement female. Without that basic information, it would be difficult to provide heifer buyers with good genetic information.
Testing DNA samples is also one way to look "under the hide" and get a sneak peek at how an animal is wired to perform without having to slaughter that animal or gather years of progeny data. With DNA testing, you can find information on carcass traits (tenderness, marbling, quality and yield grades); feedyard performance (average daily gain, feed efficiency); genetic abnormalities; maternal traits; and more.
Dan Layman, a commercial Angus producer from Virginia, just started using DNA testing for his replacement heifers. "The replacement heifer profile from Igenity was attractive because selecting replacement heifers can still be hit-or-miss," he says.
The testing process is simple, he says. At $20 per head, he considers it an inexpensive investment to identify females with genetic potential to be long-term producers in the herd. He keeps only the top heifers for replacements and sells the rest with the steers through a local marketing group.
Special traits. Calvin Sandmeier of Sandmeier Charolais in Bowdle, S.D., says carcass traits are important to his customers. He's been using Pfizer Animal Genetics for the past five years to test for tenderness and feed efficiency. He shares the results with potential customers and uses them for his own bull selection process.
He cautions that DNA tools are not a silver bullet, but just one more tool to help producers.
"We may find a favorite calf one year that is superior in most criteria, but may not have the right genetic road map. Or we'll find bulls that have superior DNA traits, but lack the muscle structure that we like to see in the bulls," he explains. It's a matter of balancing the old-school selection tools with the new-age tools.
This year, Sandmeier plans to start DNA-sampling cows through Pfizer's high-density whole genome scan 50K screening. His goal is to speed up the process of making genetic improvements since half the genetics come from the dam. On the DNA side, the tenderness trait is something he feels will be beneficial for Charolais producers. Since the breed tends to produce lower marbling but higher-yielding carcasses, there may come a time when producers who can prove tenderness will be paid a premium.
Until then, Sandmeier still sees value in genetic screening. "Producers are curious about how this technology can help identify superior genetics, and as the cost comes down, more people will start using it."
On the commercial cattle side, there are a number of DNA tools that can boost production. But what should your priorities be for genetic evaluation? Igenity's Kevin DeHaan suggests that commercial cattle producers start with the following areas.

Governor Nikki Haley has proclaimed that
South Carolina Severe Weather Awareness Week
for 2014 will be observed March 2 – 8.
The South Carolina Emergency Management
Division, the National Weather Service, and
the South Carolina Broadcasters Association
jointly sponsor the week to remind people
that severe storms, tornadoes and flash
floods are significant hazards in South
Carolina and people need to take proper
safety precautions. SCEMD and the
National Weather Service are promoting
awareness of procedures that help keep you
safe during tornadoes.
A highlight of the week will be the
annual statewide tornado drill on Tuesday,
March 4, at 9 a.m. with a backup date of
Thursday, March 6. The
State Superintendent of Education is
encouraging schools statewide to participate
in the drill. South Carolina has
received a waiver from the Federal
Communications Commission to use the Tornado
Warning product on NOAA tone-alert weather
radio when the drill is conducted.
During the drill, the National Weather
Service will use a real-event code, TOR.
The "TOR" code will activate tone-alert
weather radios that are set to receive
tornado warnings, and those radios will
broadcast the exercise message.
Public schools, state and local Emergency
Management, the South Carolina Broadcasters
Association, and others will participate in
this annual event. The purpose of the
drill is to test communication systems,
safety procedures, mitigation processes,
etc. For further information on Severe
Weather Awareness Week, contact your county
emergency management director, the State
Emergency Management Division or your
