Wario Ware: Smooth Moves (Nintendo Selects) Nintendo Wii
Product Details
|Main Language:
The WarioWare team took an idea so wacky, it could only be made with the latest technology... the Wii Remote.
WarioWare is back with a whole new set of moves. When Wario stumbles upon a strange device called a Form Baton, he and his friends use it to learn new moves that are as fun as they are wacky. With hundreds of microgames, this game is just as wild as you'd expect from the name WarioWare, but the game play has been revolutionised. Under Wario's tutelage, and with the help of the Wii Remote, players will swing, spin and squat their way to victory.
With about 200 lightning-quick microgames and controls that range from scribbling to flailing, WarioWare: Smooth Moves takes interactive gaming to a whole new level. All players need is a Wii Remote and their best moves to be the champ.
With games that are as much fun to play as they are to WATCH people play, WarioWare: Smooth Moves brings the party to its feet. It's hilarious for players and audiences alike.
- Game storyline: Wario and his pals learn fun, wacky moves after discovering a strange book and a mystical device called the Form Baton.
- Characters: Familiar characters from the WarioWare universe will return to this installment and some new ones will appear.
- How to progress through the game: Players must clear fast-paced sets of microgames, changing the way they hold the Wii Remote each time. As they do, they'll unlock more microgames and souvenirs.
- Special powers/weapons/moves/features: The game's full-body controls add a whole new level of insanity to an already frenetic experience.

In warm weather, the threat of Lyme disease might make you think that your kids would be safer in your living room than in the great outdoors.
Though a child's risk of getting Lyme disease after being bitten by a tick is only about 1-3%, it's important to consider the factors that affect Lyme disease risk.
It's true that Lyme disease is the leading tick-borne disease in the United States, with 20,000 to 25,000 cases reported to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) each year. Most cases of Lyme disease occur in the Northeast, upper Midwest, and Pacific coast areas of the United States.
Lyme disease incidence has been reported in other states (and even in Asia, Europe, and Canada), but those hardest hit are:
Most Lyme disease cases occur between April and October, particularly in June and July.
Besides living in one of these areas, other factors that might increase a child's tick risk include:
So your teen got a job as a landscaper this summer and you're planning a family camping trip — does that mean Lyme disease is in your family's future? No, but it does mean that you should take some precautions to protect your family — such as using insect repellent and wearing light-colored clothing when outdoors to make spotting ticks easier — and know how to remove a tick, just in case.
If you find a tick:
One note of caution: Don't use petroleum jelly or a lit match to kill a tick — they're not effective. These methods won't get the tick off your skin and might just cause the insect to burrow deeper and release more saliva (which increases the chances of disease transmission).
It's important to remove the tick as soon as possible. The longer the tick is attached, the greater the chance that Lyme disease will be transmitted. Usually, bacteria from a tick bite will enter the bloodstream only if the tick stays attached to the skin for 36-48 hours or longer. If the tick is removed within 1-2 days, it is less likely to have transmitted Lyme disease.

Over the last two years, whenever our state, county, city and school district leaders have sat down to crunch numbers and put their annual budgets together, we hear about millions in lost revenues and how those entities will have to cut services or jobs. Essentially, how they'll have to do more with less.
They wouldn't have to do more with less if they could increase productivity. Most government leaders would say it's tough to work with a bare bones staff, but let us explain further what we mean.
In private business, if an employee is not pulling his or her weight, they get their pink slip pretty quickly. Your mom or dad better be signing the checks if you expect to show up for work and just go through the motions in a private-sector job. Especially in this sluggish economy, there are too many other folks looking for a gig to keep someone around who is not meeting expectations.
That's not necessarily the case in the public sector. Hiring for any job is a crapshoot. You're lucky if 50 percent of your hires are ones you're happy with. Furthermore, in the public sector, it's not easy to rectify hiring mistakes. It's pretty hard to fire a teacher, police officer, city planner or county secretary, for example.
If the public agencies could fire the employees not doing their jobs in a satisfactory manner, they'd be in a much more powerful position.
It's no secret that payroll makes up the biggest chunk of Washoe County's nearly $313 million 2009-10 budget and the school district's $508.6 million 2009-10 budget. When it comes to layoffs, public entities almost always cut entry-level positions and employees with little experience, regardless of work quality. Then agencies are still stuck with the same inefficient employees who have been skating along because they can.
With 6,200 and 2,700 employees respectively — the first and third largest employers in northern Nevada — it's not a stretch to say the county and school district have a few employees who are not all they can be.
Under any economic conditions, but specifically in a budget crisis, wouldn't it be nice if agencies could actually eliminate the employees not doing their jobs well? Agencies could keep their employees who are most productive and cut the dead weight. They could in turn see a large cost savings from those salary cuts or see a smaller savings by refilling the positions with a starting salary.
Either way, money is saved while productivity is maximized.
It's no secret there are ambitious, hard-working teachers and lazy, bitter ones — although hopefully, a much smaller number in the latter category. And it's certainly not just an issue in classrooms. You see that dynamic on police forces, in accounting offices, in administrative board rooms and countless other places.
You can cite all kinds of reasons that lackluster public workers skate by. Critics would say unions have become too strong. It really doesn't matter. The bottom line is: Why should taxpayers keep footing the bill for public employees who don't take pride in their jobs and aren't appreciative that they have a job that can pay the bills?
When funding for public agencies is tight, it would be nice if our public leaders could make the cuts where they most need to be made.

The New York Jets have been searching far and wide for an explosive force on special teams and they may have found their missing ingredient in kick return extraordinaire Josh Cribbs. The former Cleveland Brown was released this past March and drew interest from several teams including the Jets who worked him out earlier this season. The 30-year-old had the partially torn meniscus in his knee repaired this summer and Gang Green waited until the three-time Pro Bowler was completely healthy to officially sign him.
The Jets are in dire need of returner to replace Clyde Gates and Mike Goodson who were both placed on season-ending injured reserving following the team's Week 6 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
In just his first week with the team, Cribbs is chomping at the bit to make a splash in the Big Apple.
"I think that's one of the big reasons why they brought me in, to make a run for it," he said. "I can be a little lightning in here. ... I'm going to try to electrify this team and add that oomph, that 'it' factor."
The Jets currently rank No.26 in the NFL in field position and now with Cribbs in the fold they're hoping he can provide a shot in the arm to an otherwise pedestrian special teams return unit.
"That's one thing, and I've picked up some weight through the years, muscle-muscle mass," admitted Cribbs. "So, if somebody's fast enough to catch up to me, they're not going to be strong enough to bring me down. That's kind of been my motto. I'm going to run through a kicker. I'm going to run through tackles, arm tackles. You have to put a body on me to bring me down."
Cribbs is tied with former Jet and current New England Patriots running back Leon Washington with eight career kickoff returns for touchdowns. During his time in Cleveland, Cribbs was both a Jet and Patriot Killer and Rex Ryan admitted "We've all been scorched by him in the past."
As New York's pivotal divisional matchup with New England draws near, Cribbs couldn't be more elated to be a part of this fierce AFC East rivalry.
I'll be ready to chase some balls, and if they say, "Hey, he doesn't have it anymore," I have to show them," declared Cribbs. "I want them to kick it out of bounds or try me."
"But I know Bill (Belichick), I know he's seen me play a lot. They'll be ready and I'll be too."

When one thinks of Mexico City, startup companies would not normally be at the top of anyone's mind. But, I had the chance to spend a few hours with some of the local entrepreneurial organizers there last week and was very impressed with what I saw.
1 Million Cups launched in Provo, Utah at the end of January, just the latest program added to a vibrant and well-connected community. Provo has a rich technology history, outstanding education and a bright and supportive entrepreneurial future. This mountain city of 120,000 residents in the Utah Valley lives its vision of creating jobs and building a culture of growth through four distinct areas.
"No business plan survives first contact with customers," Steve Blank says. What? Isn't the point of planning that you maximize the likelihood of success in the marketplace? Well yes, but perhaps not the kind of planning you might be thinking about. A business plan conceived on paper, powered by a great idea or invention, enhanced by research on the size of the market and a customer profile, has great potential. But it also has a crucial flaw.
Robert Sutton, Co-Director of the Center for Work, Technology, and Organization at Stanford University focuses on what it takes to stimulate innovation and creativity in the workplace and relates the key points from his book "Weird Ideas that Work."
Pairing with charities enables entrepreneurial companies to offer a morale-boosting perk to employees while enhancing traditional marketing strategies, says the founder of a consultancy that facilitates such sponsorships.
For entrepreneurial companies and their established counterparts, joint ventures and strategic alliances bring mutual benefits that each would otherwise be unable to achieve independently.
Jack Stack gives back to entrepreneurship in a variety of ways, but one of his main contributions has been through delivering a consistent message: employees at all levels of a company should think and act like they own it.
Serial entrepreneur Bernee Strom started her career as a math professor and still considers teaching and mentoring important ways to give back.
Stanford University professor, Tom Byers, discusses ten enduring success factors of high-technology entrepreneurship, including planning, teamwork, venture financing, leadership, cash flow, market positioning, partnerships, and identifying business opportunities.
Stanford Technology Ventures Program's Executive Director Tina Seelig shares rich insights in creative thinking and the entrepreneurial mindset. Her talk, based on her 2009 book, What I Wish I Knew When I Was 20, cites numerous classroom successes of applied problem-solving and the lessons of failure.

West Side Stories
A Tosa resident for almost 20 years, Karen is a mom and freelance writer, addicted to playing tennis. When not on the tennis court, she spends the fall and winter in the stands at Green Bay Packer and Marquette basketball games.
Karen is the author of "Grab a Bite," a dining out column and the former community columnist for the Wauwatosa NOW newspaper.
I've finally resigned myself to the fact that the "aught" generation is also the "passive communication" generation. They prefer to interact with each other via digital devices – cell phones, computers, etc. I'm finally getting used to my kids texting their friends to get answers to questions instead of calling them. And I'll admit, I get more information and less attitude and eye rolling from my kids via text messages. Sigh.
But I'd like to suggest that we add another moniker: The "non-responsive" generation. Kids today (said in a cranky "get off my lawn" voice) neither give nor receive responses. It's usually noticeable during the holidays – when gifts or cash are sent to out-of-state young relatives and they're rarely acknowledged. Thank you notes or phone calls are, apparently, extremely painful. Too bad we're not around to hear the exclamation "COOL!" when our packages/cards are opened. Sigh.
The DSHA Theatre Department in collaboration with The Angelaires will perform Dan Goggin's hilarious and zany musical, NUNSENSE. When the Little Sisters of Hoboken discover that their cook, Sister Julia, Child of God, accidentally killed fifty-two residents of the convent by way of botulism, the 19 remaining sisters are forced to put on a variety show to help raise money for the burials. Add in a health inspector, a singing puppet, and a tap dance number and you've got full serving of side-splitting jokes with a side of toe-tapping tunes. (The show also features several students from Wauwatosa!)

Height: 5'10" Weight: 197 Age: 25 Experience: 3rd season College: Cincinnati Drafted: n/a
Posted: 10/28/2013 10:26pm et
Despite the fact St. Louis Rams RB Benny Cunningham (ankle) is inactive for the Week 8 game against the Seattle Seahawks Monday, Oct. 28, RB Isaiah Pead is still a healthy scratch. RB Zac Stacy will start, with RB Daryl Richardson as the backup. RB Chase Reynolds will serve as the third tailback.
Huddle Up: Pead, who only has 7 carries for 21 yards this season and none since Week 3, clearly has taken a tumble down the St. Louis depth chart and there's not much chance of a recovery barring injuries to Stacy and/or Richardson.
Posted: 9/26/2013 8:26pm et
St. Louis Rams RB Isaiah Pead has been declared inactive for Week 4.
Huddle Up: Pead, somewhat surprisingly, has been declared a healthy scratch, but whatever the reason, it's good fantasy news for fellow RB Daryl Richardson, who's been dealing with a foot issue for the past week.
Posted: 9/11/2013 9:56am et
Updating a previous report, St. Louis Rams RB Isaiah Pead is back form his one-game suspension, and he is listed as the team's primary backup to starting RB Daryl Richardson heading into the Week 2 game. Benny Cunningham and Chase Reynolds are in a 'tie' for the fourth spot on the depth chart behind Richardson, Pead and Zac Stacy. Cunningham was third while Pead was serving a one-game suspension.
Huddle Up: Richardson looked just fine as the starter, so there's no reason to expect Pead to walk into anything more than a handful of touches despite being reinstated as the Rams' RB2.
Posted: 9/10/2013 6:50pm et
St. Louis Rams RB Isaiah Pead will return to practice Wednesday, Sept. 11, after serving a one game suspension. It is not clear if Pead will play in the team's Week 2 game.
Huddle Up: Starter Daryl Richardson received 25 of the team's 26 RB touches in Week 1, including 20 of the 21 rushing attempts, but didn't do much with them, averaging 3.2 yards per rush and 6.6 per reception. In any case, Pead should be the No. 2 back this week and could see 5-10 touches depending what he does early.
Posted: 8/20/2013 11:35pm et
St. Louis Rams RBs Zac Stacy and Benny Cunningham have been impressive during the preseason, and head coach Jeff Fisher refused to indicate who would be the immediate backup behind RB Daryl Richardson. Both Cunningham and Stacy are more physical than RB Isaiah Pead, and Cunningham is effective as a punt protector and potential kick returner. Cunningham and Stacy have also shown they can catch the ball out of the backfield. Pead has already fumbled once in the preseason and will miss Week 1 for a drug suspension. Not helping his cause is the fact that he didn't gain much yardage in two games and also was indecisive as a kick returner. However, he's improved in pass protection, and the Rams are unlikely to move on from him after one season.
Huddle Up: While Richardson is the clear No. 1, don't be surprised if Stacy gets the call as the change-up back in Week 1 during Pead's suspension and sticks in that role the remainder of the season as long as the rookie's pass protection is serviceable.
Posted: 6/12/2013 11:38pm et
St. Louis Rams offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer said the team is expected to use a committee approach in the backfield this year between Daryl Richardson, Isaiah Pead and Zac Stacy. The overall youth in the backfield is a concern in terms of pass protection. Stacy caught the ball well during a practice session Tuesday, June 11.
Huddle Up: Stacy is a popular sleeper pick as the favorite to head up the Rams' backfield committee, but even the Rams won't know how the rotation will shake out until their young backs get some quality reps in training camp and the preseason.
Posted: 6/1/2013 11:28am et
St. Louis Rams RB Isaiah Pead was suspended for the first game of the 2013 season for violating the NFL program on substance abuse.
Huddle Up: With Pead out of the mix, at least initially, Darryl Richardson and rookie Zac Stacy move to the front of the Rams' backfield mess.
Posted: 5/26/2013 1:00pm et
St. Louis Rams RBs Isaiah Pead, Daryl Richardson, Terrance Ganaway and Zac Stacy will all be competing for playing time during offseason workouts and training camp.
Huddle Up: After featuring the likes the Marshall Faulk and Steven Jackson for the past decade and half, it's a whole new fantasy ballgame in the Rams' backfield. Pead, the team's 2nd-round pick in 2012, was drafted to be Jackson's successor, but he was outperformed by fellow rookie Richardson, a 7th-round pick, (475-54 rushing yards) last season. Ganaway, a 6th-round selection of the Jets last season, and Stacy, a 5th-round pick of the Rams in April, have yet to log an NFL carry.

I've been using Windows Vista for a while now, and have become increasingly attached to the Windows Sidebar (it sits on the right hand side of the screen, and contains little tools and basic applications). Until yesterday, my Sidebar consisted of the following things:
On Wednesday, when I visited Long Eaton school, Alan Richards mentioned the "Say It" gadget, which converts text to speech. And he talked about a teacher who'd simply typed in "Come on. Settle down class" into the gadget, and just kept hitting Enter until they did. Okay, it's a whimsical way to solve the historical issue of teachers and sore throats, but it made me smile. So now I've got the gadget sitting on my Sidebar. I think I'm going to annoy some colleagues....
Get the gadget here
I have been lucky enough to visit lots of schools in my time working in education ICT. And I have often found that within a few minutes of walking in the door, you can quickly decide whether it is a "good" school or not. The benchmark for me has always been "Would I like my children to go here?"
Yesterday, I went to visit a school in Nottingham (for those reading this outside of our sunny UK shores, that's in the middle of England, and coincidentally my birthplace) called Long Eaton School. The visit was to hear about, and discuss, how they were using technology in the school, and what drives them to prioritise the use of ICT across the school. I already knew that their development plan was to invest something like five times the national secondary school average on ICT, in order to provide widespread provision for all of their pupils. But as I arrived, it was the small things that started to make an immediate impression. And also supporting the environmental agenda by becoming the first school in the East Midlands to get "eco school" status.
When we drove into the car park, there was a parking space (normally you end up on a verge, because there are always more cars than spaces, and the visitor spots have always gone). There was a special parking area for students (and clearly some of the students had shinier cars than staff & visitors!). The bike racks were the biggest and fullest I'd ever seen (turned out that they had the highest % of students cycling to school in the country). And the school reception had two comfortable sofas for visitors. It turns out that the school was newly built, and opened last year, but it was not simply a case of pouring an old school into new buildings. Everybody we met had a positive persona, and a very "can do" attitude.
Technologically, what they have is amazing - over 400 computers, with every single desktop and most laptops running Windows Vista and Office 2007. A SharePoint 2007 server, which they will use to deliver e-learning, provide links pupils to access resources from outside of school, and for parents to be able to see information on their children (like checking the portal to see that they've turned up at school this morning). All made possible by Alan Richards, the network manager, and his team.
Richard Vasey, the head teacher, was passionate about his school, and like most heads was enthusiastic about the future that they were going to make for their students. We talked about achievement, examinations and learning. For a school in a disadvantaged area, their 'value added' achievement is great - ensuring that the improvement in pupils' abilities is in the top 100 secondary schools in the country. And so, all of those reasons made me think that if I lived in the area, this would be the school where my children would go. But what I remembered really clearly was Richard's statement that no matter what the student's ability "if they will come to school, I'll guarantee that they'll get 5 A-G grades at GCSE". I've never heard other heads talking about an education guarantee before, but it made me realise that they have high expectations of all of their students - and therefore of their staff.
I'll write more about their technology in the future, but for now, maybe take a look at their website for a flavour of the school.
When I read this BBC News story a week ago, I didn't really think about it much. Entitled "Windows XP to be retired in 2008" the first five lines said:
"Windows XP will stop being available on new PCs from the end of January 2008. Microsoft is keeping to a plan to stop selling the operating system..."
And the reason I didn't think about it was that I understood the underlying message - from January next year new PCs could only be shipped with Windows Vista.
But since then, I've had a few queries about what's going on, and people thinking that from next year, you can't install or run Windows XP on a PC, and that we are stopping supporting it.
But since then, I've had a few queries about what's going on, and people thinking that from next year, you can't install or run Windows XP on a PC, and that we are stopping supporting it.
So back to the original story - I knew that this wouldn't be an issue for education customers, many of whom buy Windows Upgrade licences under one of the Academic Volume Licensing (VL) Schemes. This means that they (a) pay less for their software and (b) have more flexibility with their licensing. For example, they can buy a PC with Windows Vista Home Basic, and upgrade the licence using the VL schemes to, for example, Windows Vista Business or Windows Vista Ultimate. This often saves them money, and also gives them "downgrade rights" - the ability to use a previous version of the software (like Windows XP).
The benefit is that they can buy the latest licences, and then run an older version of the software until they want to move across to the latest (a typical scenario when you have a classroom/school full of Windows XP machines, and you want to move them all together, rather than have a mix of operating system). The alternative to this is buying old versions of software, and then having to upgrade the licences later (which overall costs more...).
If you are worried that from next year you'll not be able to run PCs on Windows XP, then that's not the case. If you've got hundreds of lesson plans that you don't want to change just yet, panic not. You can still run any version, and we'll keep on providing support for Windows XP for quite a few years yet. But if you buy a new PC next year, then it will have WIndows Vista on it, and if you want to run Windows XP, you'll need to have a downgradeable licence for it.
Licensing is complicated - and I admit to not fully, fully understanding it - so take a look at our licensing pages for education, and if you have any questions, then email our licensing team (the email address is on the website)
Hey, it says it in the case study. And what's more, the school Head Teacher, John Gibson says: "The Office 2007 system will revolutionise teaching. It's as simple as that."
David Moss, the ICT Co-ordinator at the school, goes on to say "I've been involved with beta testing computer software since the early 1990s, and try to keep the school at the forefront of technology. I don't like change for change's sake, but I do like change that is productive. And I believe the 2007 Office System offers the ease of use that makes it a wonderful tool for schools."
ps There are two views on the Office 2007 System - the view from people in education, like John & David above, and the views of the Government's agency for ICT in Education, Becta. They seem to think that there are no new things in it for education. Perhaps they should talk to some of the teachers I meet!
Yesterday I wrote about using Moodle on SharePoint, and today I feel the need to share another option for running a Virtual Learning Environment on SharePoint.
This is the SharePoint Learning Kit, which is a SCORM 2004-conformant e-learning delivery and tracking application (that sounds good doesn't it!). It works on Microsoft Office SharePoint server (the one you buy...), or Windows SharePoint services (the one that's free...). Basically, it's a kit for you to build your own VLE, and like Moodle it's free...
The blurb says that it supports SCORM 1.2, SCORM 2004, and Class Server content and allows assignment, tracking and grading of both e-learning and non-e-learning content
You can download it from the Codeplex website too
A recent survey, by Becta, showed that around 40% of colleges are using Moodle for their virtual learning environment (VLE).I don't know of published figures for schools, but believe that the use is significantly lower - single digit percentages. If you are one of those who use it, are you aware that there are a bunch of webparts available that integrate it into SharePoint? What's the point of that, you may ask? Well, for the same reason that lots of other VLE providers are building web parts for SharePoint. It means that a school can choose a single portal architecture (ie SharePoint) and integrate their different systems into it - email, management information system (MIS), VLE etc. And if at some point they want to change one of those systems, they can do that by changing their webparts, not their whole portal.
You can find the Moodle webparts on Codeplex, a 'community source' initiative.

The two started their raised-bed garden in 2011 and shortly after began a program called The Garden Box Club. For a fee, the club delivers fresh, organically-grown vegetables to customers' homes in Jacksonville and Piedmont each week, as well as to a central spot in Anniston. Orders jumped from 11 that first month to more than 40 this summer, demand which forced the couple to begin buying organic produce from other local farmers. Their current farming plot is on James Street.
When Roxanna spotted the nearly two acres next to the Piedmont museum, complete with a store on one end and a two-story home on the other, she thought it would make the perfect location for the learning farm.
"There is not a downtown project like this until you get much farther north," Roxanna said. "This will be, to my knowledge, the only working garden in a downtown district in the state."
Plans call for 22 raised garden beds and 6,000 square feet of in-earth planted row crops. Two greenhouses would serve as models to teach visitors other gardening methods like vertical and hydroponic farming. As is the case in their current operations, no pesticides or other chemicals will be used, Dave said.
Dave has drawn in plans for a packing shed so that local farmers can bring in produce, wash it and sell it to the store, or to the garden box program. A walk-in cooler will allow them to grow and store more vegetables than currently possible, Dave said.
They would also give tours, much like they do at their farm now, Dave said, where they often host students from The University of Alabama's Osher Lifelong Learning Institute and others curious to see what a real organic farm looks like.
Classes would be offered to teach people how to grow their own gardens and cook what they've grown, Roxanna said, while the store will sell fresh and preserved organic produce, flowers and grains.
It's a big project, they admit, but after receiving support for the project from the Piedmont City Council in August, Roxanna said things have been falling into place.
They are currently completing the paperwork necessary to become a 501(c)(3), tax-exempt organization, and they've found an accountant to help them through the process.
Possibly the most promising news is that a local organization — which Roxanna declined to name as talks are in the early stage — has expressed interest in awarding a grant to help fund the project, Roxanna said.
Currently they have an agreement with the landowner to lease or purchase the land, Roxanna said, and they may open up the store to start, which would help bring in funds for the remainder of the project.
The desire for organically-grown fruits and vegetables is growing, Roxanna said, and having a farm located in Piedmont could only increase the numbers of visitors already coming for the Chief Ladiga Trail and to paddle down the Terrapin creek.
The White House released a report in June prepared by the Council of Economic Advisers, the White House Rural Council, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture that showed U.S. organic industry grew by 9.5 percent overall in 2011, reaching $31.4 billion in sales.
Ultimately, it may come down to how the community responds to the project, Dave said. He would like to see the people of Piedmont become as enthused about the learning farm as he and Roxanna are, he said.
"I'd be so happy. I really would," Dave said. "By the grace of God we'll have Piedmont eating organic."

I think the bipartisan group's plan is a great place to start. However, I'd suggest four changes:

My principal response to the debate in the May 12 Maine Sunday Telegram ("Two sides of reforming Maine taxes") was disappointment.
I was hoping to see a presentation of substantive data supporting the opposing views. What we got instead was a bunch of "spin," feel-good selling points with little monetary backup.
Albert DiMillo's Con presentation was a tad better than the Pro presentation, but neither side gave the kind of in-depth data needed to allow an intelligent understanding of the issues.
Or maybe that's what they want?
Steve Collins
I have read articles and letters and opinions on the proposed tax overhaul designed by the Gang of 11. I do not pretend to be able to discuss most of the proposals.
I am retired, my income is fixed. I do not file income taxes. But I do pay excise taxes, licensing fees, tolls, gasoline tax and, of course, sales tax.
I meet often with others like myself who live on fixed incomes. Our options are limited.
When I was working, coffee break talk would often be centered on new stores, great sales and good restaurants. Now the conversations are about Senior Day at Goodwill and new secondhand shops. New clothes are rare.
An estimated 200,000 Mainers don't have access to adequate food. What does that say to us? Many seniors are in that group, and many more are close to the line. A sales tax on food will push more people into that group.
I have heard the argument that there will be a potential rebate if you file taxes at the end of the year. Really? Do you honestly think that is going to help?
Most of us who live from paycheck to paycheck are running low by the third week of the month. A few dollars in sales tax paid on food will make a difference as the month goes on.
I cannot see how this can be of benefit to the state. It will just force seniors and others to cut back or force more people over the state line into New Hampshire or to Massachusetts. Neither charge sales tax on food or clothing.
I agree much needs to be done to fix our budget needs. A fair tax system just doesn't attack those least able to pay.
And let's not even talk about a sales tax on heating oil!

When members of the Legislature talk of tax reform, it usually means a redistribution for higher and new taxes. For example, Social Security benefits now exempt, will be taxed under a recent tax reform plan being presented in Augusta.

The California Democrat added that she expects the energy bill that Congress sends to President Bush will include the higher mileage standards adopted by the Senate last June, despite the failure of House supporters to get them into their version.
'I believe we have to act within the next few years, that is to say have major agreements reached, protocols in place, standards established,' Pelosi said in a telephone interview before flying out of Washington, D.C., to take part in a global warming round-table in Portland.
Pelosi said she had just met with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, and felt that Senate conferees over the energy bill would insist on including new mileage standards, just as House conferees will insist on new energy efficiency standards for buildings and appliances.
Pelosi added that the public overwhelmingly supports increased gasoline mileage standards, and she hoped the president would sign a bill containing them.
The Senate last June adopted energy legislation calling for a 40 percent increase in auto mileage to 35 mpg by 2020.
Congress has not changed the federal auto fuel economy standard since it was imposed in 1975. It has been at 27.5 mpg fleet average for cars since 1989. The truck requirements, which include SUVs and passenger vans, recently were raised to 22.2 mpg.
'Conservation is a major asset in this fight against global warming,' Pelosi said. 'It makes a tremendous difference how people husband their energy resources.'
Pelosi was to be at the
'I'm very proud of the work Congress has been doing on global warming and energy independence. I see those issues as connected,' Pelosi said. 'I think the impact (of global warming) is very serious if we don't act soon.'

Autour de Minuit
Autour de Minuit is one of the most dynamic animation and production houses in Europe. Their modest, cramped Parisian office is home to an eclectic stable of animators, including Edouard Salier, BIF and H5 – the crew who put together this year's Academy Award-winner Logorama. Autour de Minuit also acts as a distribution hub for an outstanding roster of European animators. Adept at balancing the tasks of harnessing resources and unharnessing the explosive creative potential of those around him, Autour de Minuit's creative producer, Nicolas Schmerkin, has created an alternative universe and put his company right at the centre of it. The tools are digital, the brief is to push technical and creative boundaries, and sky is the limit. From this incredible treasure trove we have sourced a collection of some of the most interesting, uncompromisingly indie animation in Europe today. — MT

text: Put Conservation to Work for You USDA releases over $2.7 billion in voluntary conservation funds. Compiled by staff Published on: Dec 7, 2005 Tweet Post to Your Wall. Email Story RSS Permalink Print Demonstrate environmental stewardship by participating in conservation programs on your farm. Recently, the USDA announced the release of nearly $2.7 billion in fiscal year 2006 for voluntary conservation programs on working lands. "These funds give growers the assistance needed to continue to address the vital issues of protecting the environment and water quality, while also continuing to protect our farm lands," says Bill Chase, National Corn Growers Association Production and Stewardship Action Team chairman. "Conservation is always a top priority for corn growers. Ultimately, by being good stewards of our land, our end crop benefits."Secretary of Agriculture Mike Johanns says the USDA considers conservation programs a priority and is responding to the needs of agricultural producers by providing more funds for "more certainty and predictability in their environmental stewardship decisions before planting season begins." "The early release of these funds will give producers time to develop effective conservation plans and help them to improve their land," states Johanns. The funds, according to USDA, will be issued early, which will ensure farmers and ranchers will have more time to make sound decisions regarding their conservation practices. Fiscal year 2006 allocations include nearly $1.3 billion in technical assistance and about $1.4 billion in financial assistance for Natural Resources Conservation Service voluntary conservation programs and other activities. Key voluntary conservation programs and their allocations include: Conservation Security Program--$259,000,000 Environmental Quality Incentives Program--$994,705 Ground and Surface Water Conservation--$70,093,458 Klamath Basin--$11,319,018 Wetlands Reserve Program--$245,795,302 Farm and Ranch Lands Protection Program--$73,500,000 Grassland Reserve Program--$915,259 Wildlife Habitat Incentives Program--$43,000,000 For addition information and to identify the specific states involved, please visit www.nrcs.usda.gov/programs. Landowners who want specific information regarding program participation should contact their local USDA Service Center or NRCS office located at http://offices.usda.gov or in the telephone book under Federal Government, U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Neighborhoods: Lower Queen Anne, Magnolia - Queen Anne, Magnolia / Queen Anne
great sushi happy hour and great pre-theatre location – currently their happy hour goes until 6:30 - great $1 nigiri pieces - huge cuts - i particularly like the salmon and unagi.
Their New York roll is out of control! huge slices of salmon inside the roll AND on top - lots of avocado too.
The waitress that I get everytime I go there is a delight and I love this place. I'm so glad it's here in lower Queen Anne.
AWESOME food NOT AWESOME customer relations – I have been going to Obasan at least once a week since it opened. It was a treasure when it opened: the prices were great, the help was fantastic, and the food was INCREDIBLE. Lately the service has been very slow, the food just as amazing but the level of customer care is very low. The prices have been raised twice in the last two months making the food rather expensive, they've taken away the secret $1 spicy tuna hand-rolls that made up for the price raises for me, I considered it a reward for being loyal and knowing about them. Here's the bit that really ticked me off: They signed up with livingsocial for a daily deal. I was so excited I bought my limit and referred everyone I knew to the sight to get in on the good deal. I got an email from livingsocial saying that obasan wouldn't honor the coupons and I was getting a refund. It is just one small thing after another at obasan and so I'm heading one short bus trip away to Umi or Wann now when the sushi craving hits. Sorry Obasan but your customer relations suck.

As 1917 dawns, the Emersons are once again in Egypt and planning to stay indefinitely because of German torpedoes prowling the seas. All is well with Amelia and her beloved Emerson, and the marriage of their son Ramses and their foster-daughter Nefret is proving to be a strong one. The only fly in the ointment is Amelia's not-so-subtle hints that she wouldn't mind becoming a grandmother in the near future. Once the Emersons arrive in Luxor, they hear rumors about a magnificent, newly discovered royal tomb that has already been ransacked by thieves. While trying to locate the hidden treasure, they are thwarted by numerous petty but dangerous attacks. Evidence points to the involvement of Jamil, the spoiled, renegade kinsman of the Emersons' foreman Selim. But just as events heat up in Luxor, Ramses is contacted by the British Intelligence, who want him to utilize his espionage skills in the Palestinian city of Gaza.
Ramses has tried to put his days as a spy behind him for Nefret's sake, but the Intelligence officer makes him an offer he can't refuse. His uncle, Emerson's half-brother and one-time arch-nemesis Sethos, has been spotted in Gaza. Although he had been spying for the British as well, Sethos is now suspected of turning traitor and selling secrets to the Turks. Ramses reluctantly agrees to accept the assignment, but Amelia, Emerson and Nefret refuse to let him face this danger by himself, so they embark on their own journey to Gaza. If the trip from Cairo to Palestine in a stolen motorcar doesn't kill them, the Turks probably will.
The first half of the novel did not hold my interest. As Amelia's late friend Abdullah used to say, "Every year, another dead body," and it does seem like we've been here many times before. Only this time, we don't even have the pleasure of watching Amelia match wits with the notorious Sethos. The leader of the tomb robbers is a "miserable coward" (as Emerson points out grumpily), so it's difficult to become engaged in the struggle.
Then after the first 200 pages, the scene shifts abruptly to Ramses' undercover assignment. Here the novel really picks up steam. The suspense of watching Ramses put his life in jeopardy to discover the truth about his uncle is matched only by the humor of watching Emerson revel in his disguise as a wealthy Egyptian merchant with a "borrowed" motorcar and two wives (Amelia and Nefret). It's a welcome change of pace to see the Emersons in a new location, as well as a fascinating glimpse into the Holy Land's role during World War I.
The Golden One is also less compelling than some of its predecessors because there are fewer unresolved relationships. Ramses and Nefret are a well-established couple by now, and of course sexagenarian lovebirds Amelia and Emerson are as affectionate as ever. However, there is now plenty of room for the development of additional characters. Jumana, the young Egyptian girl first introduced in Lord of the Silent, has a major role to play, although it's unclear yet if she will live up to her female mentors, Nefret and Amelia. Sennia, the young girl who lives with the Emersons, is cute without being too cloying. And Amelia's old American friend and colleague, Cyrus Vandergelt, features prominently in a way that allows Emerson to demonstrate his consummate nobility and generosity. Finally, the next villain may pose more of a challenge to our intrepid heroine than the cowardly Jamil did; the novel's final sentences hint that the Emersons are about to face a new adversary with a personal grudge against Amelia.
Frankly, I am starting to worry that the series is in danger of burnout. While the first seven Amelia Peabody novels were released over a 17 year period, the last seven have been released on an annual basis. Surely that has to tax the creative powers of even such a singular talent as Elizabeth Peters. Maybe she owes it to herself to take a break, write a new Vicky Bliss mystery, and then come back to Amelia when the ideas are fresher. Of course I would miss the old broad, but I know that in the interim Amelia, armed with her trusty parasol, can take perfectly good care of herself.

Trevor Boulle
Trevor has traveled quite extensively throughout South and southern Africa, including a year in Namibia and gaining invaluable first- hand knowledge of the African people and their cultures. Further afield, he has spent time in Australasia, Europe and the United States. Trevor worked as a tennis teaching professional in the United States for a number of years and was fortunate to use this time to travel and explore this vast country. In the last five years Trevor's forte has been hiking / walking holidays. Programs are designed to highlight the most scenic parts of South Africa and to allow the guest to explore on foot. How best to satisfy Trevor's personal passion for hiking and exploring than to lead groups on foot through game reserves, into the Drakensberg mountains, along the paths that British and Zulu soldiers walked so long ago, meandering through the streets of Cape Town {surely one of the world's great cities}, boulder-hopping along Indian Ocean beaches, scrambling up Table Mountain and strolling through beautiful wine farming country. Trevor has found his niche in life then. From a young boy obsessed with history, exploration and the outdoors to a professional who has made a career from that which he loves. There is a clear yearning to learn more, not only about his continent, its history and its people but also to facilitate visitors hungry to share in the same experience. Aided by an ability to strike up a solid rapport with his guests and abetted by a wicked and slightly dry sense of humour, the professionalism and success of his programs is evident in the repeat visitors and long-lasting friendships struck up over the years.
Ananda van der Merwe
Ananda obtained a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Psychology and English; Post-Graduate Degree in Translation and completed courses in French and Dutch when she lived in Europe. Also while living in Europe, Ananda spent time backpacking and considers Prague the most beautiful and culturally rich destination which she has visited outside of South Africa. Whilemost of us would get frustrated and flustered at the thought of being lost in a foreign city, Ananda savoured the prospect as it provided great opportunities for meeting the locals and experience the various European cultures in authentic settings. During her four years in Europe, Ananda au-paired in Brussels and taught English to French speaking children. Upon return to South Africa, she moved to the Little Karoo where she secured a job conducting tours at a working ostrich show farm and then went on to manage a guest house in the same area. When she moved to Cape Town, she spent three years as an inbound tours consultant which she combined with guiding once she received her THETA accreditation and qualification. Ananda has been guiding for a total of 9 years now and has very little intention of retiring from this particular career in the very near future; however, she does dream of becoming an editor one day and harnesses her skills with a critical eye when reading the local newspapers. It is difficult for her to state any particular destination in South Africa as her favourite. Her patriotism is not nominal, but is borne out of her first-hand experiences in this beautiful country. There is not a corner of this country which she has not explored. Hard-pressed for an answer though, she lists the Elephant Coast of KwaZulu Natal as one of her favourite spots for its birding opportunities and its beautiful coastline. She then also quickly mentions the Kruger National Park, the Drakensberg Mountains and the Kalahari. Ananda's thirst for knowledge was not quenched through her formal training and studies. She professes to be an information junky and often finds herself in a catatonic trance before her television set, absorbing facts, figures, dates, names and places thrown at her on the History, Discovery or National Geographic channels. This diet on electronic education is supplemented by research on history, culture, nature and anthropology. Currently, she is also broadening her skills in photography and would like to complete a field guiding and/or botany course. Though an avid learner, Ananda is not pretentious in her approach to working or dealing with people. Her sense of humour and gift for telling quirky, if not true, stories to visitors makes her popular with those she meets along the way, often forging friendships with guests which last long after they have returned home. She relies on her female intuition which has been fine-tuned over the years with her experience as a guide. She therefore has a good sense for people and can easily gauge what clients want or expect from their experience in South Africa. When asked how she would approach dealing with various personalities on tour, she flatly replies, "One has to go to their planet… find the constellation they are from."

Fast and furious is how I would describe these tasty sandwich alternatives. They're like meal sized salads on the go! I'm not generally a huge fan of tempeh, but I think it works exceptionally well in salad-y dishes such as this one.
For more tender collard or kale leaves, lightly rub each side with a mixture of 1/2 tsp olive oil plus a dash or two of salt and a 1/8 tsp lemon juice until softened.
- 8 ounces soy tempeh, crumbled and lightly browned in olive oil
- 1 large shallot, finely minced
- 1 cup diced English cucumber
- 2/3 cup finely diced crisp apple, such as Honeycrisp
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon curry powder
- 4 drops aromatic bitters (optional)
- 3 tablespoons vegan mayonnaise
- Scant tablespoon peach preserves
- 6 large leaves of collard, dinosaur kale, chard or green leaf lettuce, rinsed and dried
Combine all ingredients but lettuce or chard into a medium sized bowl. Stir well to thoroughly coat the tempeh, apples, cucumber and shallots.
Spoon about 1/2 cup filling into the lettuce or chard leaf and wrap up tight like a taco, burrito or wrap.

This summer, I've committed to learning more about cooking Indian food, a cuisine I seriously love and could not live without. I am using Madhur Jaffrey's iconic cookbook, An Invitation to Indian Cooking, and have been taking my girls on field trips to explore our local Indian market.
One of the flavor combinations I love the most is chicken marinated in yogurt. The yogurt not only tenderizes the chicken, but it lends a mellow, slighty tangy flavor. For this recipe, I combined some easier-to-find Indian spices along with yogurt to add a little spicy-ness to the chicken.
1 whole (preferably organic) chicken, rinsed and patted dry
2 cups of plain yogurt
2-4 cloves of garlic, smashed
a 2-inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled and grated or finely minced
1 teaspoon each: ground turmeric, ground cardamom, ground cumin
1/2 tsp each: ground cloves, ground cinnamon
1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and finely chopped
salt and pepper to taste
Combine yogurt with all the ingredients and rub all over the chicken, inside and out and esp under the skin that covers the breast. Let sit covered on the counter for two hours (minimum) so that chicken comes to room temperature before cooking. Or you can leave it overnight in the fridge but do bring it to room temp before roasting.
Preheat oven to 425º. Truss chicken and place in roasting pan breast side up. Roast at 425º for 20 minutes, then reduce heat to 325º and continue cooking for about an hour until legs move easily in their joints. Remove from oven and let sit 15 minutes tented with foil before carving.
Boil 2 pounds of small new potatoes until just tender. Drain and set aside. You can do this earlier in the day. I used fingerlings so I cut them up, but if your new potatoes are small enough, you can leave them whole.
In a large frying pan place:
2 tbsps of vegetable oil
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1/2 a red onion, sliced
a 1-inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled and grated or finely minced
5 cardamom pods
6 whole mustard seeds
a half-palmful of cumin seeds
1 fresh curry leaf (if you can find them)
1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and finely chopped (optional)
Cook the above over medium heat until fragrant and seeds are popping. Add in potatoes and toss gently. Heat through. Season with salt and pepper and garnish with cilantro leaves (optional) before serving with the roast chicken. Note: do not eat cardamom pods or curry leaf, they are just for flavor.
I also discovered these treasure at the Indian market. They look screaming hot, but surprisingly they weren't. And also surprisingly, I much preferred the mango pickle to the red chili pickle. I love spicy foods, which is why I thought I would go for the chili, but the tart green mango in the mango pickle won me over. My mouth is watering just looking at this photo!

Although special elections can be tricky — especially when there are multiple candidates in the field — Byrne is well ahead of the other four challengers in name recognition. He's also considered the odds-on favorite at this point.
His old nemeses, the Alabama Education Association, will ne pleased no matter what the outcome — defeat and political oblivion or victory and off to Washington — so the AEA is likely to spend its money on other things.
The former Democrat tried to get rid of the baggage that comes with that political indiscretion, and in his announcement Tuesday he laid out a platform that places him squarely in the right-of-center block of the Republican Party. In addition to being critical of President Barack Obama and his health-care reform efforts, he also chided Congress for a bad gun bill, for not putting border security ahead of other immigration reforms, and for energy proposals that would raise costs to consumers. He also called for a simplified tax code, cutting back on government regulations and letting states run their education systems (a crumb to the Common Core opponents without actually addressing the issue).
Because all politics are local, Byrne vowed to get the federal government to spend time and money to build the Interstate 10 bridge between Baldwin and Mobile counties and make it stop spending time and money trying to manage the fishing industry. Waving a copy of the U.S. Constitution, he said, "I can't find anywhere in here the word 'snapper.'" He also promised to make every effort to see that the U.S. Navy and the Corps of Engineers continued to spend money in and around Mobile.
All-in-all it was a campaign kickoff tailor-made for the residents in his district — fiscally conservative, wary of government unless it is building something they want, and solidly Republican. He even praised his old opponent, Gov. Robert Bentley, who still has a strong following down there, and endorsed him for re-election.
Up in Montgomery, Gov. Bentley, hearing that, surely smiled.
