Locked-out union workers vote no for the 4th timeFargo, ND (WDAY TV) -- Voting just ended for locked out American Crystal Sugar workers.
By: Becky Parker, WDAY
Fargo, ND (WDAY TV) -- Voting just ended for locked out American Crystal Sugar workers.
They're voting again today on the company's contract. And it's anyone's guess if this will end the 16 month lockout.
This is the fourth time the union has voted on this contract, and little has changed since the last time they rejected it in June. This time, they either accept it anyway, or continue the financial hardships of a lockout.
Several Moorhead workers heading in to vote at the Howard Johnson said they would once again vote, "No..." frustrated with the lack of change from the company.
But nothing is certain until the votes are counted.
Ross Perrin/Unit 266 Vice President: "If it's rejected, then we'll proceed, and if it's ratified, we'll go back to work and start making the company profitable again, like we had been."
Since 1300 workers were locked out more than a year ago, the union has picketed at factories, and in October pushed for a national boycott of American Crystal Sugar products.
They first voted in July 2011, and though they continue to reject the contract, the margins have gotten closer with each vote.
Dennis Gerlach/voter: "It's one of them things, it's so personal. It's 16 months, so people have to look at it from their own bank account and everything."
Perrin: "Just the hardships it's put on the local community has strained the relationships. So, people are taking that all into consideration."
Crystal Vice President for Administration Brian Ingulsrud said the company had record profits in 2011 and though recent profits were lower, last year was still a very good year.

Julian Assange loses extradition battle, but he still looks like Bill Maher, so there's thatBy Alisa MackayMay 30th, 2012, 1:00 pmComments (10)
Wikileaks founder, notable Australian, and super-hacker Julian Assange has lost his appeal against extradition to Sweden, and will now have to face the Swedish court over allegations of sexual assault and rape. The celebrated/vilified/creepy Assange garnered international fame in 2010 when Wikileaks made thousands of classified documents public, becoming a hero to anti-censorship champions.
But then he went and (allegedly) had sort-of-to-not-really-at-all consensual sex with a couple of ladies in Sweden and got in trouble for it. Since then, he's been living under strict bail conditions in what The Christian Science Monitor calls "the country mansion of a wealthy supporter in eastern England," which has all sorts of Downton Abbey connotations and seems completely fitting. He also made an appearance on The Simpsons. And had a talk show on Russia Today. He's been keeping busy.
According to the Chicago Tribune, Britian's highest court rejected Assange's argument that the European arrest warrant was invalid. However, Assange's lawyers still have two weeks to contest the ruling. He has a couple of legal options, but his lawyers are confident that if extradition does happen, he will eventually be cleared of all charges. Which kind of makes you wonder why he's trying so hard to not be extradited.
Don't worry, hackers: it ain't over yet! Personally, I can't wait until Matthew Lillard is tapped to play Assange in a gritty biopic.
Commentarium (10 Comments)
he doesn't want to get extradited to Sweden because then the USA can get him for bullshit treason charges/make him disappear.
Because Sweden is such a close ally of the U.S. compared to Sweden. Strong argument, andrea. He's being extradited in accordance with UK law, plain and simple.
"...compared to the UK."
the poor guy has obviously been framed.
Assange admitted to bukkake-ing on one of those young Swedish chicks.
best comment of the day. argument winner.
Gee, what happen to all the outrage over outing CIA agents ala Valerie Plame?
Oh, that's right, he's not an Evil Republican so he can do it!
So it would appear that not only does he look like Bill Maher but he treats women the same way.
"The celebrated/vilified/creepy Assange"
Thanks Alisa, for helping the United States in their smear of Assange. I wonder how "creepy" he'll be if a SOCOM team drags him into a delivery van, and nobody ever sees or hears from him again. Maybe then, he'll be "creepy" like the Phantom of the Opera.
He's not an American citizen. Obama will authorize a drone strike.

2522 S Shirlington Rd, Arlington, VA | Directions 2220638.846652 -77.083683
just wanted to share my great experience with Blossoms florist. We were looking for a specific type of stuffed animal and specific flowers at Flowers From the Heart for our grand son's birth and they made my day with the right arrangement in great time. Awesome Arlington florist
oh this is awesome florist..I receive weekly flowers from my boy friend and Flowers From Heart does an incredible job..every week is different flowers, style and unique design and they almost always last 2 weeks if I prep them and change water regularly..they are incredible, not making a mistake on my order since almost 2 yrs is really awesome.
I have been a customer since 3.5 yrs in Arlington and must say, my best florist in Arlington. their flowers, design and service always number one..
Way to use the Internet to help people solve problems!
The young lady who received the flowers was absolutely thrilled with them. Many thanks. Will be sure to use your company again. Tried many florists in Arlington but found yours to be best so far.
I found this florist online the day before I needed flowers delivered. I got a very unusual arrangement in a nice container for the same cost as a much more ordinary arrangement at other florists. There was no rush fee, and the arrangement was gorgeous. Extremely happy with my experience!
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful! My flowers were wondeful, they were exactly the way I wanted them and the colors were perfect.
Terrible Experience – Dishonest shopkeeper. My order was 2 days late. When I called for a refund, they laughed at me. Then they said they would oblige. But, of course, no refund.
The flowers that did come 2 days late were terrible, and definately not what I had paid for. Ugly, wilted flowers, with 1 or 2 bulbs broken over.
I would love for one of these people to be honest, but they are crooks. At this point, I'm ready to call immigration to see if they are even running a legit shop.

Creatinine Increase in Elderly Means Increased Renal Disease, MortalityPosted: Wednesday, April 23, 2008
Even small increases in serum creatinine levels during hospitalization raise the risk of end stage renal disease and mortality of elderly patients over the long term in a 10-year study of 87,094 patients according to a University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) study.
The key points discovered were that small creatinine changes increase long term mortality and kidney failure. And that mortality and kidney failure are the greatest with larger creatinine changes.
The 10-year retrospective study, led by UAB nephrologist Britt Newsome, M.D, is the first systematic description of creatinine increase and longer-term end stage renal disease and mortality risk. Previous studies showed a relationship between reductions in kidney function during hospitalization and higher mortality rates.
"Previous studies have shown that a rise in serum creatinine level of 0.3 milligrams per deciliter or more during hospitalization is associated with higher in-hospital mortality, longer stays and higher costs," Newsome said. "However, little was known about the long-term risks of subsequent end-stage renal disease and mortality in this population. The long-term risks we observed suggest that even the least severe category of kidney injury may indicate a worse prognosis."
The study looked at 87,094 Medicare beneficiaries admitted to 4,473 hospitals across the country suffering from a heart attack, or acute myocardial infarction. They studied changes in creatinine levels of those patients from 0.1 to 3.0 milligrams per deciliter. The mean age of the patients was 77.1 years old.
Incidences of end stage renal disease and death were greatest among patients with larger changes in creatinine level, and all levels of serum creatinine increase were associated with a greater risk of end stage renal disease and death.
"We chose to examine a population of Medicare beneficiaries because the incidence of acute kidney injury has been increasing in this population for the past 10 years," Newsome said. "Further, patients with cardiovascular disease are at a particularly high risk of chronic kidney disease as well as acute kidney injury. In future studies we will want to determine if this relationship exists in patients admitted to the hospital for other conditions."
With these findings, the study calls for clinicians to closely monitor and aggressively treat patients experiencing increases in creatinine levels.
Newsome said, "The study also shows that giving patients beta blockers and aspirin can help treat these patients and possibly prevent death in the long term, regardless of creatinine change during hospitalization."

Partisan attacks claim that President Obama's budget does not create jobs…
In fact, President Obama's budget invests in initiatives that will grow the economy by creating jobs, putting money in the pockets of Americans, and improving opportunities for future generations.
The President's budget:
- Continues to make critical investments in the modernization our nation's infrastructure, including our highways, bridges, waterways, mass transit, and aviation system, creating hundreds of thousands of new jobs.
- Helps small businesses and innovative companies grow by eliminating the capital gains tax on small businesses and making the Research and Experimentation Tax Credit permanent.
- Puts money in the pockets of America's workers and their families:
- Makes permanent the $800 "Making Work Pay" tax cut for 95 percent of working families, increasing consumer demand and stimulating job creation.
- Expands and extends unemployment insurance benefits for jobless Americans seeking work in this troubled economy, with every dollar in expanded unemployment benefits creating at least $1.63 in economic activity.
- Expands the Child Tax Credit and the Earned Income Tax Credit to help millions of families with children.
- Permanently protects 26 million middle-class families from being hit by the alternative minimum tax, which would have increased their taxes substantially.
- Funds weatherization for low-income family homes to save working families an average of $350 per year.
- Improves opportunities for future generations:
- Makes the $2,500 American Opportunity Tax Credit permanent to make college more affordable.
- Triples the number of graduate fellowships in the sciences to help foster innovation here at home.
- Expands Pell Grants to account for inflation.
- Modernizes the electric grid for the integration and use of greater amounts of renewable energy and increased utilization of innovative efficiency technologies.
The Obama Budget:
- Cuts taxes (for 95 percent of American workers)
- Cuts spending (non-defense discretionary - over 10 years - to its lowest level as a percent of the economy in nearly half a century)
- Grows nothing but jobs
- Cuts the deficit (in half over four years)
- Ends an era of irresponsibility and gimmicks
Creating American Jobs means:
- Making quality health care affordable
- Powering our economy with clean American energy
- Modernizing our education system
We can't afford to wait. Failure to reform and invest produced eight years of the slowest job growth in three quarters of a century.

Free Film Series at the Clark Ends with the Documentaries Brother's Keeper and Capturing the Friedmans on August 27
For Immediate Release
August 17, 2006
Escape the August heat and relax in the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute's air-conditioned auditorium for a free screening of films with the theme of brotherhood. "Brother to Brother: Sunday Afternoon Double Features at the Clark," related to this summer's special exhibition The Clark Brothers Collect: Impressionist and Early Modern Paintings, explores the tangled fraternal relationship in films that range from the comic to the tragic, from classic to contemporary, from fiction to fact. The series concludes on Sunday, August 27 with the theme of "Brothers Documented" featuring Brother's Keeper at 1:30 pm and Capturing the Friedmans at 4 pm. Both films are unrated but may not be appropriate for children.
The award-winning documentary Brother's Keeper (1992, 104 minutes), directed by Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky, follows the 1990 trial of the Ward brothers of upstate New York. The semi-literate, isolated farming brothers, who were termed "outcasts" by the townspeople of Munnsville, NY, are thrown into the spotlight when Delbert Ward is accused of murdering his ailing brother William. The townspeople, fearing the elderly brothers are being taken advantage of by police and investigators, rally around them in support in a heroic display of the power of community.
Capturing the Friedmans (2003, 108 minutes) follows the Friedman family of Great Neck, NY, a seemingly normal household turned upside-down when the father and one of the sons are accused of child abuse. Through extensive home movies and footage shot by director Andrew Jarecki, the community's reaction, family disintegration, police investigation, and ultimately the outcome of the trial, create a captivating, provocative film.
Featuring over 70 paintings, The Clark Brothers Collect: Impressionist and Early Modern Paintings is the first exhibition to unite the masterpieces collected by Sterling – works by Renoir, Monet, Degas, Homer and Sargent, and more – with those collected by his brother Stephen, including paintings by Cézanne, Hopper, Van Gogh, Matisse and Picasso. The exhibition examines the brothers' collecting and how they helped to define the changing taste for Impressionist and Early Modern art in the first half of the 20th century. The Clark Brothers Collect is on view through Monday, September 4.
The Clark is located at 225 South Street in Williamstown, Massachusetts. The galleries are open daily from 10 am to 5 pm (closed Mondays September 5 through June). Admission June 1 through October 31 is $10 for adults, free for children 18 and younger, members, and students with valid ID. Admission is free November through May. For more information, call 413-458-2303 or visit www.clarkart.edu.

Schloss Saareck is located directly on the banks of the River Saar at the heart of an expansive, idyllic park with trees that have witnessed centuries. Luitwin von Boch – Director of Villeroy & Boch in Mettlach from 1917 to 1932 – decided to erect this building shortly after his marriage to Adeline Baroness von Liebieg, and the foundation stone for this architectural gem was laid exactly 110 years ago on July 5, 1902. Von Boch's decision may have been prompted by the increasing number of his social commitments, for which adequate premises were distinctly lacking, or also, perhaps, by his desire to help his young wife – who had lived with her family in a fortress on the River Moselle – come to terms with her homesickness. The architect, Ludwig Arntz, designed Schloss Saareck in the style of 19th century historicism, by combining late gothic and renaissance elements to form an elegant unity.
The von Bochs were able to move into Schloss Saareck as early as 1903. In 1911 and 1912 the property was modified and expanded when an extension, planned by the architect Eugen Schmohl, was added to comply with the wishes of the lady of the house, who wanted a large dining room and a family chapel. The Schloss suffered severe damage during World War I but nevertheless remained the von Boch family residence until the outbreak of World War II. During the war it was used as a military hospital and thereafter by the occupying troops as an administrative building.
In 1954, owing to the increasing number of company visitors, particularly as a consequence of growing internationalisation within the Villeroy & Boch Group, Schloss Saareck was converted into a guest house. To this day these premises continue to accommodate customers, business partners and employees who come to Mettlach on visits or to attend events.
High-ranking guests have also stayed at Schloss Saareck. In December 2006, for example, Federal Chancellor Angela Merkel invited the then French President Jacques Chirac to European talks at Schloss Saareck.
A unique belle époque atmosphere can still be felt in the Schloss rooms today, whether in the spacious entrance hall adorned with paintings and hunting trophies, a fireside room with Steinway grand piano, the Anna Boch room displaying impressionist paintings or in the Japanese Conservatory with paintings by her brother, the artist and patron of the arts, Eugène Boch.
Renovated extensively in the year 2001, Schloss Saareck has become a popular venue for events. It offers an excellent setting for a great variety of occasions, not only, for example, for family celebrations, weddings and anniversaries, but also for meetings or business luncheons/dinners after seminars which are held in the perfectly equipped rooms of the Global Academy located in the Old Abbey on the opposite bank of the River Saar. Here in Schloss Saareck, beyond the hectic and stress of everyday life, there's a world of peace, relaxation and sheer bliss.
The team at Schloss Saareck advises each potential guest individually, being responsive and catering to the wishes and ideas of every one. An appropriate programme is compiled for every occasion – from the order of courses and table decoration, to wine-tasting and cigar evenings, to musical accompaniment – all part of a full professional service that will make your celebration unforgettable and your event exceptional.
The finest of culinary delicacies at their finest are created in the kitchen at Schloss Saareck. Needless to say, only the freshest of local and regional produce is used – even in the establishment's own patisserie, which is constantly creating delightful new gateaux and confectionery. Everything is served, of course, on the finest premium-brand tableware from Villeroy & Boch.
Guests are also welcome to stay overnight in one of the 22 guest rooms in the Schloss. Each of the rooms has been furnished with great attention to detail displaying its own unique style and distinctive charm. Varying from room to room, the bathrooms were, naturally, all manufactured by Villeroy & Boch. The bathroom designs chosen represent important stages in a bathroom culture which dates from the 1980s to present day.

FORTUNE -- Some analysts were concerned last Friday -- with holiday buying in full swing and just one month left in the year -- when Apple (AAPL) announced that the iPhone was available for sale in only 47 countries. That was 53 countries short of the company's self-imposed target of 100 countries by December.
Would Tim Cook -- Apple's master logistician -- manage to pull it off?
Wall Street didn't have to wait long for an answer. On Monday, Apple issued another press release announcing that the iPhone 5 will be available in South Korea on Dec. 7 and more than 50 additional countries by Dec. 21. That puts Apple right on target -- or one over, depending on how you count Antigua and Barbuda.
But it also means that potential buyers who have to wait until Dec. 14 or Dec. 21, according to Apple's new schedule (below), to order the iPhone 5 may not actually get the thing until after Christmas.
The list of new countries from Apple's Monday press release:
iPhone 5 will be available in South Korea on Friday, December 7 and on Friday, December 14 in Albania, Antigua and Barbuda, Armenia, Bahamas, Bahrain, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, China, Costa Rica, Cyprus, Ecuador, Grenada, Indonesia, Israel, Jamaica, Jordan, Kuwait, Macedonia, Malaysia, Moldova, Montenegro, Panama, Paraguay, Philippines, Qatar, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Taiwan, Turkey, United Arab Emirates and Venezuela. iPhone 5 will also be available on Friday, December 21 in Barbados, Botswana, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Egypt, Guinea, Ivory Coast, Kenya, Madagascar, Mali, Mauritius, Morocco, Niger, Senegal, St. Kitts, St. Lucia, St.Vincent & the Grenadines, Tunisia, Uganda and Vietnam.

Marine kills two at Quantico base, takes own life
The shootings took place late on Thursday in the vicinity of the Marine Corps Base at Quantico's Officer Candidate School, and all three people who died were identified as Marines, Marines spokesman Sergeant Christopher Zahn said.
"An isolated shooting incident has occurred at Officer Candidate School, Quantico," the base said on its Facebook page. "The suspect has been barricaded by law enforcement personnel."
The Facebook message told base residents to remain in their homes with their doors locked, until the lockdown was lifted before dawn on Friday. No other injuries were reported, and Zahn could give no details as to a motive for the shootings.
"The investigation is in the very early stages," he said.
The shootings came days after seven U.S. Marines were killed in a mortar explosion at an Army munitions depot in Nevada during a live-fire training exercise.
In that incident on Monday, a lightweight mortar exploded prematurely in its firing tube, killing the Marines from Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, who had been undergoing mountain warfare training, and wounding eight other service members.
It prompted the Marines to order a blanket suspension of the use of 60mm mortars pending a review.

Score distribution:
Positive: 34 out of 35
Mixed: 1 out of 35
Negative: 0 out of 35
Sep 10, 2013The Swapper is a unique experience that will charm any fan of science fiction as well as fans of games like Braid, Metroid and Castlevania. The game looks and sounds beautiful and the cloning mechanics are both novel, creative and challenging.
Jun 1, 2013Very few puzzle games have ever managed to marry impeccable challenges with a mature storytelling quite like this – there's no fluff or extraneous content here, only a prime example of how to create a tight, unforgettable gaming experience.
May 31, 2013All in all, the setting is perfect for a puzzle game built around existential despair...Its clever, creepy and macabre.
Score distribution:
Positive: 64 out of 69
Mixed: 4 out of 69
Negative: 1 out of 69
May 31, 2013Thank you so much for such a masterpiece! The swapper is a game for your ears, your eyes, oh and even for your brain too. If you´re going to play The Swapper, you really have to turn off the lights and put on your Headphones now you´re ready to dip into one of the most atmospheric Games in this Genre!… Expand
Nov 14, 2013This game is definitely worth the money, even at just 5 hours of gameplay. The atmosphere is great and the puzzles are interesting and diverse. They could have chosen to drag it out to 10 hours, but it would probably grow stale without more mechanics, so I approve of the decision to keep it short and fun.… Expand
Mar 25, 2014The Swapper is a relatively-short puzzle game (~5 hours) that features a basic game mechanic: You can create clones of yourself and teleport to them to move around the map. The game features a variety of well thought-out puzzles. Certain environmental elements can prevent you from creating clones and others can prevent you from teleporting them.
The story is bleak and melancholy in an enchanting way. The artwork/music is beautiful and atmospheric. The puzzles get a tiny bit repetitive by the end. However, the game finished quickly enough that I never felt bored during the playthrough. In general, it was a hauntingly-beautiful short game.… Expand
Nov 3, 2013If you liked Braid or Limbo, you'll like this game also, and should get it for that reason alone, it is of the same high quality. It has the engine/art ambience novelty value that makes it fun to play, and quite addictive once you start. Puzzles are easy bar about 3, which jump vastly in difficulty. It is short enough, and may have no replay value also, so keep to the $10 or less price range. It gets an 8 because though the sound is great, the music is almost indiscernible. And whilst I like obtuse story lines, I'm not sure this one needed it. For me, it would have worked better as a more realistic escape+rescue storyline, with each room to rescue a survivor. But those minor quibbles aside, recommended still.… Expand

Mourinho hails resilient Real Madrid
Jose Mourinho praised Real Madrid's battling qualities after they booked their place in the Copa del Rey quarter-finals with a 1-0 win over Malaga on Tuesday.
Karim Benzema struck the only goal of the game in the 72nd minute to hand Los Blancos a 4-2 aggregate win, but while it is normally Real's deadly attack that gets most of the attention, Mourinho feels it was at the back that his team did their best work against Malaga.
"We've scored eight goals in our previous two games and people accused us of not defending well," Mourinho told the club's official website.
"We gave a serious, pragmatic and practical performance tonight [Tuesday].
"We defended very well and our opponents hardly had any chance to score."
While Mourinho admits their overall performance over Malaga over two legs probably was not Real at their best, he did give credit to their opponents whom he believes were clever in their approach.
"We didn't give a brilliant performance with the ball, but we nevertheless reached the next round against a solid side that played intelligently in both legs.
"It would have been even harder if we hadn't scored the goal. We made a great effort to win.
"My objective was for us to score in the first half to force Malaga to take risks, but we didn't manage to.
"We were too comfortable in the first half and played a slower game than we're used to. We tried to speed things up later on."
One of Mourinho's few problems this season has been to choose between Marcelo and Fabio Coentrao, who both play best when deployed at left-back.
However, both played together in the second half and combined well, leading Mourinho to suggest they both have different qualities they bring to the side.
"Marcelo started the second half as a left-back, but when [Salomon] Rondon took to the pitch he forced my full-back to defend inside.
"Fabio defends well there and Marcelo moved further up to favour our counterattack."
Real are next in action on Saturday when they travel to play Real Mallorca.

Correspondence between the sexes
I am a girl who believes in Allaah and His Messenger. Is it permissible for me to correspond with a young man through what is known as the "Pen pal corner"?.
Praise be to Allaah.
It is not permissible for you to correspond with a young man who is not a mahram for you through what is known as the "Pen pal corner", because that is something that leads to fitnah (temptation) and to evil and corruption.
And Allaah is the Source of strength.

Sourced from around the world, we offer Vanilla pods from 7 origins and are perfect for use in cakes, desserts and other culinary applications. Aromatic seeds inside the pod can be scraped out to add a unique flavour to custards, ice creams, creams and other sauces. So why not enhance the flavour of a variety of foods and buy online today!
Madagascan vanilla is known for its floral and fruity flavours. Produced in Madagascar and the neighbouring islands located in the Indian ocean, these pure pods are derived from the vanilla planifolia plant – a species of vanilla orchid. Our range of Madagascan vanilla beans are sourced from the Sambava region and are approximately 11–20 cm long. These pods have a rich, full-bodied creamy flavour for use in a number of culinary applications. As well as supplying vanilla for home cooking, we also offer retail packages and wholesale quantities– ideal for food stores, market stalls and delis.
The quality of India's vanilla pods has led them to become a major grower in the industry. Considered to be on par with Madagascan varieties, Indian vanilla beans are cured for 5–6 months for a distinct aroma and flavour and characterised by a full-bodied woody flavour with chocolate overtones. They are also grown organically and their large size means they contain an abundance of seeds, perfect for whipping up some marshmallows or cupcakes.
Grown and cured to perfection in French Polynesia, Tahitian vanilla features deep brown, oily pods with fruity and floral overtones. As Tahitian vanilla is so delicate, their liquorice style flavour is perfect for use in culinary applications where heating is not required such as fruit based desserts and ice creams. The subtle aroma also makes Tahitian beans great for use in body products, including lotions and soaps.

When I was younger-I can't remember exactly when-my grandmother gave me a gift. It was fairly simple gift, but it had great meaning. It was a tiny gold charm in the shape of a capital "B". It was slightly misshapen- as if it had been attached to something else. In fact, it had. In its original form, there were two "B's" soldered together to make one larger tie tack. The two "B's" were my grandfather's initials: Bernard Bergman. My grandmother, years after my grandfather's death, had divided this tie tack to make a tangible piece of him available to my sister and me. This tiny charm means a lot to me. It is a physical symbol of my grandfather's legacy.
As many of you know, I am named after this man. His full name is Bernard Alfred Bergman, making his initials B.A.B., the same as mine. For all of you who wonder what the "B" in my name stands for, it's Beth. That I carry his name is a spiritual legacy, as I find strength and connection from who he was and what mattered to him.
The legacies that are left to us often take on two forms: spiritual and material. They are often equally as powerful, as in the case of my grandfather. This message is also particularly clear in our Torah portion this evening. We enter the narrative as Jacob enters the last phase of his life. While weak, Jacob musters enough strength to ask Joseph, his son, to bring his grandchildren to him so that he may bless them. In these phrases we see Jacob touching each of his grandsons and sons for the last time. I can only imagine how his poetic last words, and gentle touch might remain with his children for the rest of their lives. I believe these actions are the legacy that he offers his family.
We can learn about Jacob's spiritual and material gifts by studying more closely the first two verses of our portion, which read: "And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt for seventeen years and so the entire age of Jacob was 147 years. And the time drew near for Israel to die." In order to understand these verses, we must first unpack them: Why is that the first verse talks about Jacob's life, and the next Israel's death? Why are two different names used for the same person?
You may remember, a number of chapters earlier, Jacob struggled with a Divine Messenger. At the end of the conflict, he is spiritually reconnected. In fact, for his effort, Jacob was renamed Israel, which means one who struggles with God. Rabbi Bechaye, in his commentary on this portion, believes that the use of the name Jacob in this portion, because it is related to the Hebrew word "ekev ", or heel, refers to the human aspects of his life. Secondly, remembering that the name Israel means one who struggles with God leads us to make a natural connection with the spiritual facet of Jacob. The two names were used, because both sides of Jacob were present as he bestowed the final blessings upon his family.
Both the physical and spiritual aspects of Jacob and Israel are present during this poignant time in the life of Jacob and his family, as Jacob blesses his grandsons, Ephraim and Menashe. Jacob says; "God before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac did walk, the God who has been my shepherd all my life long until this day, the angel who redeemed me from all evil, bless the lads, and let my name be named upon them and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac and let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth." In this blessing, both the spiritual, and material are present in the form of God's protection the promise of progeny.
Jacob had the opportunity to bestow a gift upon his family: his thoughts, desires, and blessings. As Jacob blessed his family, we too can bless our loved ones through careful articulation of our wishes, blessings, and lessons for them.
A number of years ago, Rabbi Jack Riemer published a book called So That Your Values Live On- Ethical Wills and How to Prepare Them. An ethical will is a document that imparts your values, ethics, and life lessons that you'd like to offer to your loved ones; and often discusses the meaning of material possessions. It's a tangible document that testifies to the intangible.
Writing an ethical will reconnects us to our truest selves, and allows us to articulate our hopes, blessings, concerns, and love to our dearest ones. Blu Greenberg, an orthodox feminist writer, writes, " Ethical wills remind us what are the essentials in life; they offer a model of how to live." When we are clear on how we want to live, and we can articulate it to our loved ones, we are truly leaving a gift: a gift for the future. The following is from an ethical will by William Joseph Adelson, included in Jack Riemer's book.
"My Dearest Family: In the busy and often structured pace of our lives there have rarely been times to stand back and reflect upon the big and important things. Our attention has usually been taken by practical details. I want to tell you about what I consider really important.
I have tried to set an example for you in active participation in the Jewish and secular communities. I have always felt the importance of sharing in these dimensions. It would please me if you found some of the same enthusiasm and excitement in the Jewish tradition that I have. (Or if not in that, I hope that you will participate actively in some spiritual tradition.) It is a dimension of spirit that can bring great meaning and intensity to your lives.
When I am gone, all of the things I possess will have no meaning to me. Although I have not left you objects of great value, I hope you will want some of the things I have created and that we have accumulated over the years.
More than material possessions, I hope I will have left each of you;
An optimistic spirit A fervor and enthusiasm for life A sensitivity to nature and esthetics A closeness and regard for one another A sense of responsibility and concern for others
And a sense of worthwhileness about yourselves.
I wish your life may be as good and satisfying as mine has been, and thank each of you for having contributed to it. Lovingly, Dad and Bill.
William Joseph Adelson was not near death. Rather, he was contemplating his life and his goals. This powerful letter was written with the objective of enabling him to reconnect with his larger values.
It is significant that this Torah portion is named ` And Jacob lived Vayechi Yaakov", for through both the spiritual and material blessings and lessons he leaves with his progeny, Jacob lives. In the same way that Jacob leaves a gift for the future by blessing on his grandchildren and children, we too have the power to leave a gift: through an ethical will, thoughtful words and careful articulation of our values and desires. This is a gift we can give ourselves, and a gift we offer to our loved ones.
Tonight, I want to close with a very practical challenge: What are the gifts you want to bestow upon your loved ones? Indeed: What is your legacy?

Minimal OpenGL Utility Library (MOGUL) is a library similar to GLUT, only with fewer features. It lets you write window-system-independent OpenGL programs with even fewer lines of code than GLUT. It currently supports X11 and Win32. Examples are included in the distribution. It is intended to be easy to learn and simple to use.
The Ecere SDK is a cross-platform toolkit for building software applications. It currently runs on Windows, Linux, Mac OS X (through X11), FreeBSD, and the Android OS. It should run on other Unix platforms with minor testing/tweaking. With the Ecere SDK, you can develop applications once and deploy them on all supported platforms alongside a lightweight runtime environment. It introduces eC, an object oriented language derived from and fully compatible with C, compromising neither runtime performance nor ease of use. A built-in 3D engine supporting both Direct3D and OpenGL is fully integrated.
Vis/Space is a client-server system for visually exploring data structures in 3D virtual space. It allows the placement of various data sources in a three-dimensional environment. Custom search terms can be entered into a query field, or can be navigated to and from an existing object. All objects like images and "text screens" can be moved around. A single click on an image shows the full-resolution version in the foreground. Whole collections of images can be moved. A click to the cube also toggles among several different possible layouts. Data sources include search engines, microblogging, Wikipedia, image/video search, and 4chan.

|Apartment rental scam
|Thursday, 10 January 2013 09:06
Waterloo Police are advising citizens to be suspicious when responding to advertisements on Craig's List and other websites offering apartments for rent at lower than normal rates.
Recently the police department has received reports of these advertisements and when possible renters make contact, the advertiser requests money for a down payment to secure the apartment. It is later found that the advertisement was bogus, and the possible renter lost their money.
Always verify whom you are dealing with before making a payment.
If the rental price is too good, it is probably a scam!

32oz growler from Whole Foods.
A- Bright gold almost coors light gold with a nice bubbly white head, dragging lace.
S- A really nice nose full of citrus and earth with light spice. Small oranges with grain and earthy hops, A spicy background. A great nose.
T- Really digging the simplicity of this while being bold. Getting a nice mix of orange, grapefruit drops and grassy hops, all being extremely light. A grainy middle finishing dry and lightly yeasted with a bready quality.
M- Very Very Very light and refreshing and gulpable. Carbed up to the point that it's known this beer is not dead. Not bitter in the least sense.
D- A drinker for sure, a whole growler would not of been enough. This just went down real easy and Im glad I picked it up.

Victory's Kölsch Ale was on-tap at the brewery on 7/26/2008. Instead of drinking it there, I decided to take this one home with me in one thier growlers.
When poured into a Victory pint glass, this Kölsch is a clear pale lemon yellow. When I say pale, I mean pale! On top of this pale beer was a creamy 3/4 of an inch head of white foam. This head of foam had excellent retention that left behind a spotty white film and an abundance of sticky white streaks of lace around the glass.
The aroma was light and too faint. The only things I got out of the aroma was malted wheat witha splash of lemon zest. That was it. The aroma was the only problem I had with this beer.
The taste was on the malty side with lightly burnt malted wheat, a touch of lemon zest, subtle dried grapefruit, a hint of dried citrus hops, and then finishes up with a taste of wheat bread. Not too many flavors in this beer, but in the end it was nice little malty beer.
This was clearly a light bodied beer with a malty aftertaste of malted wheat, wheat bread, and the slightest touch of bitter citrus hops.
A light beer that's not light in flavor. Session beer all the way! I didn't have any problems drinking a growler of this beer. A great Kölsch!

Victory Brewing Company
Style: Kölsch
LOOK: Clear golden color, with a foam cap and leaving plenty of lacing.
SMELL: Distinct lager yeast smell, grass, cooked veggies, stewed hops, fresh bread and a bit buttery as well.
TASTE: Clean bready malt flavor like a typical German Kolsch. Herbal tea like hopping with mild grassy, leafy flavor and bitterness. Bready, well balanced, very lightly bitter lager.
FEEL: Light bodied, stinging carbonation. Light, easy to drink , very mellow.
OVERALL: A pretty nice kolsch, but does not separate itself from many others in the style. Pretty standard, not that there's anything wrong with that.

On-tap at the brewery. Pours a very clear, very light golden color with a small, quickly settling white head and patchy lacing. Bready, grainy malt aroma with floral, spicy hops.
Taste has floral and somewhat fruity hop notes that give the beer an appealing, assertive bitterness in combination with crackery malt and a nice spicy note. Low overall sweetness. Lightly lingering bitter aftertaste.
Overall an excellent example of the style. Very crisp, clean and dry. Lively carbonation on a light body. Highly quenching and refreshing, probably the best American-made kolsch I've had.

Poured on tap at Pizza Paradiso Dupont, into a shaker pint. Victory tap takeover for DC beer week!
A white hot colored head is presented sittings on a classic fourteen carat gold crystal body. Carbonation rises from the middle, never seen that before .. looks great, but with no lacing while drinking.
Bouquet is crisp sense and light malts but mildly grassy, and mostly closed. Not much of a nose on this.
Taste brings light bread classic taste, even slightly doughy. Mild pronounced hop but noticeable presence. Strange crazy finish with mild sweetness and noticeable white sugar. Interesting mild soda and lime like finish.
Overall, distinct, different easily sessionable, fairly pleasant. A obit odd just wish this was more breadier. The ultimate Kolsch quest continues in earnest...

On tap at Victory. Pours very clear gold with white head. Nose is strange lemon, grass, almost an eggy component, minerals in the vein of wet stone. Mouth is sharp carbonation, fairly sharp grassy hops, very grainy. Some spicy qualities come through, not sure if it's through the hops or something else. Very long bitter finish. Sharp, bright, and a bit unusual.

Victory Kolsch is a bright, straw yellow with rocky head white head that brings up that cereal grain aroma. The beer is very clean and crisp with just a little barley flavor with woody spicy bitterness that is under control. This is a very refreshing kolsch

On tap @ the VBC on 7/24/10. Served in a Willibecker glass.
Pours a crystal clear gold, with 1 ½ fingers of foamy tight-white head. This retains with a ½ finger of foamy richness that doesn't quit, leaving the walls of the glass coated with thick sticky swathes of lace. The aroma is almost perfume-like in the nose (just as a good Kölsch should be) with a fruity and floral presence that effortlessly breezes up the nostrils. Bright textures of spice, earth, and citrus peel, with a sweet graininess that rises up underneath. I'm also getting that classic smelling egg/bread mix of the flavors here from the yeast as well. Just a nice tightness to the flavors in the nose, which makes this feel spot-on.
The taste is tangy sweet gains intermingled with softer fruity flavors and some lightly earthy and green tones shining through as well. Earthy rind and spice are present, spreading bitterness out into a dry and parching finish. The mouthfeel is medium bodied, with a fantastic crispness to that gives the flavors an assertive crackle on the palate, while some smooth slickness on the edges of the profile really keeps things moving easily. This feels great.
This is one of those Victory beers that I seem to always miss each summer but I must say that this more than met my expectations after finally getting to try it. With tight flavors here in the nose and mouth and a crisp and dry body keeping the drinkibility here VERY high, this is definitley in the top tier of American-brewed Kölschs that I've had. Well done indeed.

Served in a tall cylindrical glass at the brewery. It appeared clear, brilliant gold with a tall white head.
This is the best kolsch I've ever had. No question about it. It's a light, dry, and imminently sessionable beer with all the subtle nuances the style has to offer: fresh-baked biscuits, mineral-rich water, golden bread, peppery hops, and a light fruit punch. The malt taste is clean and the hops provide a delicate but delicious finish. I wish I'd found this early in the summer, it's a fantastic beer for any season, but this would be sublime on a sweaty, sunny day.

Served in a kolsch glass. A glass of cold water on the side to sip from periodically.
Appearance: As served the beer is a clear bright golden yellow color with a ¼" to ½" white finely bubbled white head that lasts for most of the beer as small ring and light layer of foam over the surface of the beer. Throughout most of the beer, sipping leaves lightly speckled scattered lacing.
Smell: The aroma is both hoppy and malty with some light earthy and floral notes and some bready and honey sweetness.
Taste: The clean, refreshing flavor is grassy and herbal with some biscuity sweetness and some light bitterness
Mouthfeel: The mouth feel is light to medium body with some long lasting carbonation. The finish begins with the mix of sweet malt and bitterness from the hops and then fades to a dry finish.
Drinkability: This beer is an easy drinking kolsch and a tasty brew for drinking several with good conversation and friends over dinner. I'd be happy to have another.

Served on tap at Union Jacks Inn on the Manatawny as of this review.
Poured a clear golden yellow color with a nice 1 finger's width of fluffy eggshell colored head, long lasting retention and good lacing. Smells strongly of floral hops, with some honey sweet hints. Taste is a lightly sweet maltiness with lots of grainy notes followed by a big crisp floral hop finish combined with a little extra punch of more bitter hops at the end. Medium light in body wth good carbonation. Very smooth and creamy, yet with a crisp finish. A very sessionable ale with good flavors and a nice balance, looking forward to having more when it is in season this summer.

Served at the restaurant.
A: The ale is a pale yellow, crystal clear brew with a slight ring of head.
S: Earthy noble hops are the dominant aroma in the nose.
T: The ale starts with a grainy malt flavor that soon gives way to a crisp, dirty hop flavor that is intriguing. Those hops definitely have the subtlety of noble hops and add a firm, biting finish to the ale.
M: Very clean on the palate, this is a good pounding beer.
D: Very drinkable, too bad it is not bottled.

Tasted on-tap 9/25/06 at Tria in Philadelphia, PA.
Advertised as "rare" at 5.1% ABV.
Gold colored with a low white head. A nicely balanced malt, fruit, and hop aroma. Similar in flavor with malt dominating, a touch of ale fruitiness, and just enough hops to balance. Light bodied with a fairly clean finish.
A fairly nice Kolsch -- wish I could compare to a true German example.

Enjoyed on tap at the Victory brewery in Downingtown, PA.
A clear pale golden body with a large fluffy marshmellow head. Lots of carbination visable in the glass. Head dissapated into a thin, bubbly trace which laced down the glass a bit.
Aroma is clean and muted. Yeasty bread with sweet malts, some flowery hops, and a hint of citrus.
A nice subtle flavor. Crisp and clean. Full flavors of grainy bread and a dash of spicy hops to accent. Sports a dry finish which I enjoyed.

Clear yellow in color with a white 1/2" head. The head disappeared rather quickly and there was no lacing to be found. The aroma was of sweet malt and grass. The flavor was sweeter than expected, but it worked as there was a nice bitterness to balance it out. Grass tones lingered in the background. Light bodied.
Mouthfeel was clean and refreshingly crisp. No lingering aftertaste. The drinkability is as high as you can get, as this is truely a tasty afternoon session brew.

This is just a top-notch kolsch. Probably the best kolsch I've ever drank. Come a nice golden color with a sizeable head. It has a nice, spicy taste. Similar esters to German wheat beers. It makes for a very tasty beer, since the esters are pleasant but not too overpowering. The mouthfeel is very smooth. Definitely the best and most drinkable kolsch I've ever tasted.

A solid Kolsch, to be sure. This one has definately seen some improvements since the last time I had the pleasure to try it. The crisp looking brew offered a well carbonated appearance wrapped in its golden color and one-finger head. The aroma was slightly sweet and more hoppy than I expected. Although a wee tad on the stringent side on the palate, still a fine brew to pair with any of Victory's fare.

As the Cubs got worse and worse, and teams in the Central got better and better (the Cardinals and Brewers, sigh, were pretty damn good last year), it became harder and harder to do the job. And, to be quite candid, you start kind of running through the same jokes again and again.
This year, in the interest of (a.) not abandoning the feature, and (b.) having some fun, I thought that we could all do it together.
So, let's pile on the suck here, which I can turn into a post (or posts) on the front page. We should all have a say in why the other teams in the NL Central suck.
We've already roasted Dusty Baker and the Cincinnati Reds.
Up now is the Houston Astros, which should be really tough to skewer.... Worthwhile points of suckitude to discuss include:
- The Baseline for Suckitude (how they were last year)
- Sucky Offseason Moves (who they gained and who they lost)
- Everyone Else Thinks They Suck (articles/conversations out there about how they'll suck)
- The Suckiest Part of Their Suck (the worst part of the team)
- And in the End (overall, why they suck)

Running 101: How To Become A Runner
- By Matt Fitzgerald
- Published Dec. 2, 2013
- Updated Dec. 3, 2013 at 2:58 PM UTC
The key to enjoying the benefits of running is learning to enjoy the activity of running.
Running is probably the world's best form of exercise. It builds fitness, increases health, promotes a healthy body weight, and can be done just about anywhere by anyone. Runners will also tell you that running is highly enjoyable. However, running does not make a great first impression on many beginners, who experience the exertion of running is as unpleasant. In fact, according to the 2011 Runner's Survey conducted by Running USA, the perceived "hardness" of running is the number-one barrier to becoming a runner among non-runners.
There's a Catch-22 here. You have to enjoy running to do it regularly and you have to run regularly to be fit enough to enjoy running. How does a beginner negotiate this paradox to become a runner who enjoys the activity and its many benefits? Learn how over the following pages.

Barring injuries, it's a foregone conclusion among most NBA experts that L.A. and Miami are the clear front-runners for the ring. But even with the last chapter almost written, this promises to be an even more exciting NBA season than the last. Why you ask? Read my nine burning NBA questions — and here's the kicker: They have little to do with L.A. or Miami.
1. Did the Oklahoma City Thunder trade away their NBA title hopes before the season even started?
The Thunder's deal to send James Harden to the Rockets on Saturday night is going to be, arguably, the most discussed trade of the season if the Thunder struggle in his absence. He started in just seven games during his three seasons with OKC, but he shined coming off the bench and offered offensive and defensive relief for the Thunder's dynamic duo of Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook.
2. Is Jeremy Lin"sanity" a temporary or permanent condition?
The Houston Rockets could be the cure for Linsanity, which is bad news for Lin fans. Last season, Lin shook up the NBA nation when he sparked a 6-0 win streak for the listless New York Knicks in place of injured point guard Baron Davis. Turnovers have been an issue for Lin in the preseason, but Harden's presence should take some pressure off Lin.
3. Is the Eastern Conference's Atlantic Division the best entertainment in the NBA?
Expect some primetime competition among the Boston Celtics, New York Knicks, Brooklyn Nets, Philadelphia 76ers and Toronto Raptors. Forget Kobe and LeBron. How about Carmelo and KG? This is by far the most loaded division in the NBA.
4. Will Andrew Bynum emerge as the NBA's best center this season?
This is always a laughable debate considering there are probably just three or four true centers in the league anyway. It's no secret Bynum felt a cold draft in L.A. even after helping the Lakers to two NBA titles with the help of Kobe and Gasol. Now we'll see if he's got what it takes to hoist a team on his painful knees.
5. Are the Knicks too old to be contenders?
Jason Kidd is 39 years old. Rasheed Wallace and Marcus Camby are 38, and New York's Big Three — Anthony (28), Amar'e Stoudemire (29) and Tyson Chandler (30) — aren't spring chickens either. Boston has proven you can get to the promised land even with a little weathering, but the key here will be if the Knicks have endurance and sustainability.
6. Who owns the bragging rights in L.A. and NYC?
Before we can call the Lakers the best team in the NBA, we need to see if they're the best team in their own city first. It's a point guard's league right now, and the Clippers have an edge in that fight with Chris Paul. New York, arguably the basketball Mecca, will compete for bragging rights for the court — literally. Jay-Z's Barclays Center will attempt to rival the historic Madison Square Garden.
7. Will the Orlando Magic become the Eastern Conference's Denver Nuggets?
ESPN analyst Jeff Van Gundy gave the Magic a shot at a playoff spot with the return of a core group of veterans and the addition of the experienced Al Harrington and Arron Afflalo. Folks laugh, but the Magic could have some fight in them yet.
8. Can the New Orleans Hornets become the Eastern Conference's Thunder?
Multiple high draft picks? Check. Small-market team looking for a breakthrough? Check. But that's where the similarities stop. The duo of No. 1 pick Anthony Davis and No. 10 pick Austin Rivers looks good on paper, but we'll have to see if these two actually mesh once Rivers' ankle heals.
9. Will Doc Rivers be the true MVP of the season?
Boston loaded up its aging roster with young talent and according to multiple NBA experts has a legit chance of upsetting Miami for the Eastern Conference title. Should that happen, there's no doubt that Rivers should be the Most Valuable Person in the NBA.

Editor's Note: The following letter, first published last Sunday, is being reprinted because of typographical errors in the original.
Editor, News-Register,
What does a city do without a mayor or a city manager? What does a police department do without a police chief? What does a fire department do without a fire chief? What does a human rights commission do without an executive director?
The answer to all four is they do not function very well!!
Keep Terri Garrett as the director of the Wheeling Human Rights Commission! "Charleston, doesn't want us!" Would you want your case in file 13?
