Cellar/Tasting Notes "The estate's 2011 Dogliani Vigna dei Prey takes things up a notch from the San Martino. Here the fruit is darker and more explosive. Menthol, violets, licorice and tar all flesh out in a large-scaled, voluptuous wine endowed with stunning depth and purity. All I can say is wow!"
Cellar/Tasting Notes "A fresh, juicy cherry note is enlivened by spice and savory mineral elements in this lean yet firm red. Remains harmonious and persistent, featuring a long, spice-tinged aftertaste. Shows excellent potential."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2012 Kerner captures the essence of what makes Alto Adige and the Valle Isarco in particular, so compelling. A deeply mineral, intense wine, the 2012 saturates the palate with slate, wet rocks, lime, grapefruit and hints of petrol. Magnificent and layered, but also tightly inward, the 2012 is..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Lots of plum and berry character, with hints of toasted oak and chocolate. Full body, with soft and velvety tannins and a long flavorful finish."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2009 Barolo shows the powerful side of the vintage with a brooding, dark color and lively aromas of cassis, forest fruit, anise, fennel, licorice and tar. A dark, inky appearance is followed by smooth richness and long lasting flavors of black fruit and spice."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2006 Ghemme is a little firmer and fresher than the 2007 tasted alongside it. Rose petals, flowers, mint and sweet red cherries all take shape in a striking wine loaded with personality and pure class. The slightly more classic style will appeal to traditionalists, but the truth is both the..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "This structured red exhibits the elegant side of the appellation, with fresh-crushed cherry and wild currant notes backed by a firm, minerally spine. The fine finish reveals mineral and fruit."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Molettieri's 2005 Taurasi Cinque Querce is one of the more youthful, extroverted Taurasis in this vintage. This dense, textured wine reveals plenty of dark red fruit in a full-bodied style that gains volume and depth in the glass. Hints of cured meats, tobacco tar smoke, ash and earthiness appear..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2007 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is an immediate, juicy wine with good depth and fine overall balance. Dark fruit, smoke, tobacco and herbs all add complexity on a finish supported by firm yet well-integrated tannins."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2010 Barbaresco offers a classic portrait of a beautiful wine in a celebrated vintage. There's not much to criticize here: The fruit is fleshy and lively, the aromas are intense and well-defined, and the finish is long and juicy. There's a playful dusting of white pepper that works..

Keeping Greens Fresh
Cold-chain management is the key.
Greg Longstreet, VP of foodservice sales for Dole, says cold-chain management is the key factor in getting the freshest, tastiest greens to restaurant customers. The distributor is also essential. "The temperature of a salad product must be consistently controlled at the field, warehouse, refrigerated truck and restaurant kitchen," Longstreet says. "Otherwise it breaks down at different points and loses quality." He advises operators ask about a distributor's cold-chain management techniques and equipment. Most important is finding out the checkpoints they have in place for monitoring consistent temperature and arranging a delivery schedule that guarantees freshness.
Packaging technology has also advanced to the point where it's practically foolproof. Bags are made of a special plastic film that improves airflow and lowers the oxygen transmission rate. This controls the sweating and excess moisture buildup that speeds up wilting and leaf discoloration. With these modified atmosphere bags, most cut salad greens have a life span of 16 days from the shipping point to operator.
Proper packaging and handling of pre-cut salad greens is key to maintaining freshness and quality. "Bagged mixes are not more perishable if they're kept at an optimal temperature," says Robert Schueller of Melissa's World Variety Produce in Los Angeles. "In fact, they don't go through as many hands at the field and they're double cleaned before packing, eliminating further handling and possible deterioration in the restaurant kitchen."
Once the package is open, keep greens loosely packed, dry and chilled at 33 to 38°F.

Does magic in MRQ and Legend differ? And if it does, does it differ substantially?
Does magic in MRQ and Legend differ? And if it does, does it differ substantially?
"Foolish is the king who does not have a personal wizard, and lamentable is the ruler who trusts the wrong mage"
Legend is MRQII with the Glorantha stuff removed. It is different from MRQI though.
Right off the top of my head, I don't believe that there is any major structural difference in how magic works between MRQ and Legend.
From MRQ1 to MRQ2 (Legend) the major changes were:
--Combat styles rather than choosing individual weapon skills.
--Maneuvers triggered by special successes.
--The movement scale is different: ie., a MRQ1 human has a movement rate of 4 meters/round; which is doubled for MRQ2.
MRQI has a lot of magic using runes though so it's different to MRQII/Legend.
Oops. No rune of Mastery for me!
Yeah, instead of common magic there's runic magic, which requires that the caster be 'integrated' to the rune in question.
Also, for the divine magic, Legend/MRQ 2 requires the use of the Pact skill, to recover divine magic.

29177 Northwestern Hwy, Southfield, MI | Directions 4803442.501670 -83.310380
Soup just like mom makes (if she had more than 200 recipes). – In Short
A rather austere interior is the backdrop for high traffic during the lunchtime rush. The majority of the people who populate this hangout zip out of nearby office buildings for a quick lunch. The dozen soup choices available daily are taken from a 200-recipe inventory that satisfies even the most fickle tastes. A customer favorite is the chicken potpie, a spicy cream-based soup with a flaky crust.
Too Salty – Each of the several soups I tried was overly salted to the point of being inedible. High blood pressure in a bowl. If I ever made anything like this at home it would be tossed immediately into the garbage. Anything is better than this.
GREAT CHOICE! – Zoup! offers healty choices, great service from an fun staff and the best variety of soup. This is a great place for lunch or dinner.
Warm – You can sample as many as you want. They even have lowfat soups.
you got to be kidding – would you pay $5 for a cup of soup, not a bowl.... a cup! It's not even made fresh appears to be reheated soup made in a commissary.
warm & fuzzy – Can't loose with the freindly service and sampling of soup's this restaurant offers. The menu offers a great variety wether I want to watch my waist or just indulge in some really, really great "feel good" soups. I can also do a "quick carry-out" and take it home.
Great soup!!! – Fast food that's good for you, served in a clean, pleasant atmosphere -- what more could you want!!! Samples availabe so even the very cautious can broaden their horizons and find new favorites!!
Duped by Zoup – I have enjoyed some of the soups that have got at Zoup but the varity all have fat grams in common. There is not "low fat" variety to try. The rolls offered do not compare in quality & tastiness to what I have had at other soup places. I think that by itself Zoup is an average eating weigh station. I feel biased for this as there is another establishment chain that has excellent homemade soup that tastes better, with better variety. It just can't suffer a comparison.
yummy! – As a soon to be lifetime member of Weight Watchers, I'm always looking for places I can eat out at and not go overboard. A few co-workers (also another WW member) were ordering from Zoup! and told me how easily many of Zoup!'s soups fit into the WW plan. I couldn't believe it when I had the Chicken Pot Pie. Yummy! It's great & it "fit" into my WW points. I'll be going back the next time I want great soup away from home!
The small details did matter! – I loved it! I have never had soup this good. The crew that works there is awesome they are so much fun!

December 2012 Commencement
UNC Asheville Bestows 243 Diplomas at Kimmel Arena Ceremony
Some 2,000 family and friends gathered in UNC Asheville's Kimmel Arena on Saturday, Dec. 15, to celebrate the university's newest graduates. Included among the 243 who earned diplomas in December are 12 graduates of UNC Asheville's growing Master of Liberal Arts program.
UNC Asheville Chancellor Anne Ponder, after welcoming and congratulating the graduates and their families, paused to reflect upon the tragic killings the prior day at a school in Connecticut. Echoing words spoken by President Obama, Chancellor Ponder said, "Our hearts are broken today ... We've endured too many of these tragedies in the past few years, and each time I learn the news, I react ... as anyone else, as a parent, and that is especially true today. I know that there is not a parent in America who does not feel the same overwhelming grief that I do." She then asked everyone to rise for a moment of silence.
The national anthem was then performed by graduating senior David Waters, a member of the UNC Asheville Singers who had just yesterday performed at the White House and met President Obama. Waters was accompanied by Jacqueline Lowe.
The commencement address was delivered by Thomas "Ted" Meigs, GlaxoismithKline Professor of Molecular Biology, who this year became the first faculty member to receive two of UNC Asheville's most prestigious awards in the same year – the UNC Asheville Distinguished Teaching Award and the UNC Asheville Alumni Distinguished Faculty Award. Meigs, who joined the faculty in 2003, involves his students in research on specialized molecular interactions within and among cells, which could ultimately lead to development of new drugs that inhibit cancer growth.
Meigs advised the graduates to enjoy the accolades and feeling of accomplishment that come with graduation, but just for a short while. "Do not stay comfortable," said Meigs. "Allow yourself to be uncomfortable. Embrace the fact that you are uncomfortable and use this feeling to propel yourself forward ... the trick is to be uncomfortable but always confident."
"I have never seen a university more invested than UNC Asheville in equipping its undergraduate students to go forth into the workforce and graduate programs and professional schools," said Meigs. "I assure you of this: you have the right to feel a level of confidence that allows you to never sit comfortably for very long, because your education at this institution has provided you the analytical tools, the mental acuity, the communication skills, the ability to look at a problem from multiple angles, that will allow you to meet challenges and continually push yourself to new goals."
Profiles of some noteworthy December 2012 UNC Asheville graduates:
- Avery Artman earned her Bachelor of Science degree in only 3-1/2 years, and expects to enter a master's in public health program in the fall. While competition for those graduate school positions is fierce, Artman has a leg up – she was part of a UNC Asheville faculty/student research team and presented the group's findings this fall at the American Public Health Association conference. There, she met faculty at universities where she is applying. One professor who heard Artman's presentation expressed interest in implementing those ideas in her own courses.
Artman embodies the participatory and interdisciplinary nature of UNC Asheville's academic approach. She came to the university expecting to major in art, but started to focus on health and wellness after readings in a language and literature course. That interest solidified through an internship with ASAP, involvement with the Asheville-Buncombe Food Policy Council, and research through the university's health and wellness department. Artman's goal is to promote health policies that increase access to healthy foods through health communications.
- Amarra Ghani, a New York City native who earned a bachelor's degree in mass communication with a concentration in journalism, is already working in her field as a media specialist for the U.S. Forest Service. Ghani's involvement at the Forest Service began with an internship and turned into a job writing articles, doing community outreach, and fielding calls from the news media.
Ghani hopes eventually to become a broadcast journalist on the national or international level. She has already attracted media attention for her role in founding and leading UNC Asheville's Muslim Student Association. She also received the 2011 N.C. Campus Compact Community Impact Student Award, and last spring received UNC Asheville's Carolyn Briggs Diversity Award, while the Muslim Student Association, under Ghani's leadership, was named the university's Outstanding Student Organization.
- Phil Kwarta, a graduate in mass communication from Buffalo, N.Y., who selected UNC Asheville for its film program, has already launched his own business, First Roll Productions, specializing in video production, graphic design and website work. As an undergraduate, Kwarta completed projects for Outback Steak House and the U.K.-based Hardy Fly Fishing, as well as local bands.
"Every job changes you a little bit," said Kwarta reflecting upon his growth as a videographer. "It's awesome to look back at your entire reel of work and see how you've evolved ... You have to work your way up and gain technical skills. It's all about becoming comfortable with yourself, your style and the equipment." Kwarta expects to remain in Asheville at least through the spring, while seeking to build his client base and pursue professional opportunities.
- Andrea McClure, who has lived in Asheville all her life, was able to earn a master's as well as a bachelor's degree without leaving home. After earning a B.A. in sociology at UNC Asheville in 2009, she joined the university's Master of Liberal Arts program, and will be one of 12 students receiving MLA degrees at the December commencement.
During a class in environmental consumerism, McClure became interested in the idea of "green burials" and for her master's thesis, researched the environmental impact of the funeral industry. "There's no need to put a $7,000 box into the ground and use embalming fluid," said McClure, who is now training to be a doula for death care, through the Center for End of Life Transitions. "In learning about life cycles, birth and death are really similar," she said. McClure is hoping to help develop awareness of green burial alternatives in Asheville and nationally.
- Jesse Rice-Evans, a creative writer who transferred to UNC Asheville from UNC-Chapel Hill, has carved a place for herself in Asheville's literary community both on and off-campus. A Wilmington native who earned a bachelor's degree in literature with a minor in Africana studies, Rice-Evans has edited Metabolism, UNC Asheville's student art magazine, served as a consultant to other students in the university's Writing Center, and co-taught an upper-level literature course with a member of the faculty. She also produces Downtown Books & News' reading series, Juniper Bends.
After graduation, Rice-Evans plans to continue her work with Juniper Bends, her involvement with other local writers, and her "day job" at Greenlife, while working on her portfolio. If you encounter her poetry, you'll find narrative elements and strong images, and a call to your own imagination – "I like to create a 'feel' for the poem, rather than directly telling you where the poem is set or what is happening," says Rice-Evans, "so the reader can respond to it by creating a vision for themselves through the words."
- Sara Russell of Asheville, like many December graduates, will be applying to graduate programs this spring. Russell, who earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in mathematics, has her sights set on either N.C. State University or UNC-Chapel Hill. "I'm interested in genomics and bio-statistics, but I haven't quite settled on a specific field," said Russell. "I do want to go into statistics." Russell got a head start in that direction through two different undergraduate research projects, and with her leadership in campus honors societies and the UNC Asheville math club, her prospects are bright. Russell will spend the spring tutoring high school students while preparing her graduate school applications.
- Drew Sovilla, a post-baccalaureate student from Cincinnati who earned a Bachelor of Science degree in environmental studies, will leave Asheville and his job as a Blue Ridge Parkway ranger after commencement. "I've done a lot of environmental education geared toward the general public, and I'm hoping to use this degree, perhaps getting a master's as well, to get into hard science – the research side of environmental work," said Sovilla.
He now has research experience to show prospective employers, having worked at UNC Asheville's National Environmental Modeling and Analysis Center analyzing the changing balance of native and invasive plant species on islands around the world. Sovilla is headed west, optimistic about finding work with one of the environmental organizations working to preserve the northern Rockies.
- Kelsey Viscount, a religious studies major who is passionate about the connection between faith and food, won the award for best undergraduate paper, "Produce and Provision: Agrarian Revivalism among Protestants in the South," at the recent meeting of the N.C. Religious Studies Association. Her analysis and research – she spent nine months traveling the state to interview pastors, farmers and congregants – is also gaining attention beyond North Carolina. She has been invited to present the paper next spring at the Southeast Commission for Study of Religion conference.

Strawberry pots have a bad reputation in the gardening world. They have poor water distribution and tend to dry out quickly. Sometimes they're ugly. Or the pockets are too small. Or the pockets don't have a lip, making holding soil in at planting time nearly impossible. The good ones are expensive to buy, if you can find one. I once spent an inordinate amount of money taxiing around the city in search of the right pot for a workshop. Three inferior pots and more money than I care to think about later and I was eventually forced to call a friend and beg to borrow hers. Is it borrowing if you never give it back? And four years have passed?
Despite their faults, I'll be the first to stand up for strawberry pots. When they're good, they're really good. A good strawberry pot is an excellent way to grow food in vertical space. It's especially useful when all you've got in the way of good light is a tiny patch on the balcony. Growing vertically allows you to get as much as you can out of that tiny patch. And they look pretty darn nice too. I like to fill mine with drapey plants that cascade over the sides. The trick to using them is in choosing the right kind of pot, and the right plants for that pot.
So what features qualify a strawberry pot as good?
- Large Pockets: Big pockets make planting the pots up a whole lot easier. Anything under 3″ is impossible to work with. How do they expect us to shove roots through a tiny hole? And why do I feel so dirty typing that? The lip also supports the roots while the plant gets itself established and provides more root space between plants. Lipped pots are also easier to water since the water has time to soak in rather than running straight out of the holes. When watering these pots I often direct the flow to the top of the pot and then to each pocket individually. That way I know that the plants aren't sitting there in dry soil while only the top and middle of the pot gets wet.
- Pockets with Lips: Lipped pockets have a slightly raised side that keeps soil in while the roots grow. Eventually the roots will develop and hold everything in. My trick for pots with lips is to shove a bit of coir liner in there to stabilize the soil. I've also covered the hole with landscape fabric or newspaper before adding soil. Then I just cut an X and poke the roots through. It's a bit of a juggle but it works.
- Ceramic Pots: Ceramic pots are the best of the bunch. They're also the most expensive, but worth it. They hold water better than terra cotta and look a whole lot classier than plastic.
- Staggered Pockets: Most pots have pockets that are staggered around the pot at different levels so that plants are equally distributed around the pot and not sharing space. But I have one pot that is shallow with pockets that are all at the same level. When I pot it up, which is basically never, the plants grow crowded and compete for space. Bad design.
- Big Pots: Bigger strawberry pots stay wet longer and provide more root space for plants. This is especially important if you're trying to grow something edible. Don't bother messing with those little pots they've got in the impulse buy section of the garden centre unless you plan to use them for drought tolerant succulents or some small thyme plants. That said, I have been hunting for a simple, small pot for years with no luck. But I plan to grow thyme in it.
What plants work best in strawberry pots?
Well, strawberries for one. I grow a strawberry-filled strawberry pot every year. The roots are small and fit easily into just about any sized pot. If you're interested in trying something new, look for varieties with colourful flowers (pink is common) or variegated leaves.
Herbs are another good option. Stick to drought tolerant herbs such as thyme, oregano, or marjoram if you're growing in a smaller pot. Big pots can support a wide assortment of herbs. I grow a different mix every year, starting with cool season plants early in the spring and then switching them out for tougher, heat-loving plants that can take a bit of neglect once the summer kicks in. One of my favourite pots stick to one type of herb with a different variety in each pocket. I grew a mint mix last year that was stunning once the plants started to trail and produce flowers. It was nice to have so many different varieties of mint on hand to pinch off for tea.
Lettuce and other assorted greens will grow well if you start your pot early in the spring while the temperatures are cool. Create visual interest by growing varieties with different shapes, colours, and textures in each pocket. The pot show at the top of this page is filled with strawberries with a dark, frilly 'Red Oak Leaf' lettuce in the top.
I've included a printable list that will help you get started in choosing the right plant for your conditions as well as herbal mixes that will grow well together.
The Famous Watering Trick, Modified
As mentioned above, strawberry pots are known for having water distribution problems. One trick many gardeners have turned to is to insert a piece of PVC pipe with tiny holes drilled throughout, down into the centre of the pot at planting time. When you pour water into the pipe, the water flows down and trickles through the holes, allowing water to reach all nooks and crannies in the pot.
It's a good idea, but it does not come without problems:
- PVC pipes cost money.
- PVC isn't a particularly safe plastic to have around food.
To avoid these problems, I've been utilizing my own modified version that has served me well for several years:
- Scour recycling bins for plastic water bottles that are long, tall, and thin. Look for a bottle that is nearly as tall as your pot.
- Using the tiniest drill bit you can find, make lots of holes all around the bottle.
- At planting time, bury the bottle in the centre of the pot, with the top just sticking up above the soil line. Try to hide it behind some foliage.
- When watering, direct the flow into the bottle and fill. Now, cap it off. Capping the bottle seems to restrict the flow, giving the entire pot the chance to soak up the water, instead of sending it straight down to the bottom of the pot.

Derek Jeter has a very simple explanation for deciding to retire at the end of this season.
"It's time," the New York Yankees shortstop said Wednesday. "You do this forever."
Jeter met with the media on Wednesday, the day Yankees position players reported to spring training, and spoke publicly about his decision to retire for the first time since posting the news on his Facebook page a week earlier.
In his typical understated manner, Jeter was not overly revealing about what led him to decide to call a career at age 40 -- all with the Yankees -- and showed no emotion as answered questions for nearly 25 minutes.
"I always felt it would be time to retire when baseball became work," Jeter said. "Playing baseball is fun; not playing baseball is not fun. I didn't play much last season and that wasn't fun. That's when I started thinking that it was time to retire."
Jeter was limited to 17 games last season because of a variety of leg injuries, the biggest being breaking his left ankle for the second time in two seasons. He suffered the same injury in Game 1 of the 2012 American League Championship Series against the Detroit Tigers.
Jeter also holds the franchise record with 3,316 hits, the highest total among active players and ninth in major-league history. Perhaps most impressively, the Yankees have been eliminated from postseason contention in only one of Jeter's 2,602 regular-season games.
---First baseman Brandon Belt and the San Francisco Giants agreed to a one-year, $2.9 million contract on Tuesday night before a scheduled arbitration hearing in Florida.
The 25-year-old Belt was seeking $3.6 million and the Giants had offered $2.05 million in their arbitration filing.
Last season, Belt batted .289 with 17 home runs and 67 RBIs in 150 games. He has a career .273 batting average with 33 homers and 141 RBIs in three years with the Giants.
---The Atlanta Braves gave contract extensions to manager Fredi Gonzalez and general manager Frank Wren.
No contract terms were revealed. Gonzalez and Wren were entering the final year of their contracts.
Gonzalez took over as manager when Bobby Cox retired after the 2010 season.
Wren has served as general manager since John Schuerholz was named team president in 2007.
---Major League Baseball might have a home-plate collision ban in place for spring training games, according to a report.
If umpires approve the proposed rule change, it would be lin the players' hands to ratify it, CBSSports.com reported Wednesday.
The proposed rule would force runners to slide or avoid a head-on collision with the catcher on a close play at the plate. The change was proposed in an effort to avoid serious injuries.
---Major League Baseball dropped its lawsuit in a state court in Miami against a now-defunct Florida anti-aging clinic involved in the performance-enhancing drugs scandal that included New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez.
Matthew Menchel, an MLB attorney, said baseball is no longer pursuing the case against the clinic, Bogenesis of America, owner Anthony Bosch and several others. MLB filed a one-sentence notice of withdrawal, which was expected after Rodriguez's decision last month to accept and serve a 162-game ban for the 2014 season in connection with the case.
---The Cincinnati Reds and right-hander Homer Bailey agreed on a six-year, $110 million contract, according to reports.
The deal includes a mutual option for a seventh year, MLB.com reported, and keeps Bailey from becoming a free agent after the 2014 season. The 27-year-old Bailey has compiled a 49-45 record with a 4.25 ERA in seven seasons with the Reds.
---The Baltimore Orioles finalized a four-year, $50 million contract with right-hander Ubaldo Jimenez.
The 30-year-old Jimenez has an 82-75 career record with a 3.92 ERA in 212 career games, including 211 starts, with the Colorado Rockies and the Cleveland Indians. The deal became official after Jimenez passed a physical.

Beastie Boy Adam Yauch Dies, Had Salivary Cancer
47-Year-Old Yauch Had Battled Salivary Cancer Since 2009
By Daniel J. DeNoon
WebMD Health News
Reviewed by Louise Chang, MD
May 4, 2012 -- Adam Yauch, 47, best known as MCA and a founding member of the Beastie Boys rap group, died today after a three-year battle with salivary gland cancer, Rolling Stone magazine reports.
In 2009, Yauch received surgery and radiation therapy for what was then believed to be an early-stage cancer of the salivary gland. It's not yet clear whether his death was due to the cancer.
The cancer had spread from his parotid gland to a lymph node, but Yauch fully expected to be cured...

Another fun "story". Not especially creative, but fun never the less.
The Liberal Thinker (100 posts) Wed Jul-30-08 07:25 PM
Original message
Holy shit, my neighbors are insane Republicans.
So I was speaking with my neighbors and after telling me that Rush Limbaugh was right 100% of the time and that he's the smartest man they've ever heard of, they told me these things.
- Barack Obama badmouthed and insulted the United States in his speech in Berlin. (I haven't seen the speech yet, I have to only assume this is not at all true?)
- Barack Obama is not a citizen of the United States.
- The Chinese are drilling offshore from Florida.
- The Israelis should attack Iran with nuclear weapons right after our November elections.
- We found weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.
Then they pointed out that there seemed to have been no chaos after the Iowa floods, and that New Orleans was a city of sin... hint hint.
I kept on telling them that these things are simply not true... But they yelled and got infuriated, telling me that I was just a puppet of the liberal media and that I should watch FOX news.
Unfortunately, they're such nice old folks, so I don't want to give them a smackdown but...geez, this is what we're up against, people.
So my question, what is the craziest thing you've ever heard from a Republican?FiveGoodMen (1000+ posts) Wed Jul-30-08 07:29 PM

2. That is the reason the Fairness in Media doctrine needs to make a come back
Ask your neighbors how they feel about sucking up to a drug addled pedophile like Rush. Poor example of wingnut family values.Of course when the "correct answer" is the democrat talking points and/or is based on their "definition" of certain words they will deem Fox viewers ignorant and to have misperceptions.AZDemDist6 (1000+ posts) Wed Jul-30-08 07:35 PM

3. ...
As the researchers explained in their report, The extent of Americans misperceptions vary significantly depending on their source of news. Those who receive most of their news from Fox News are more likely than average to have misperceptions. Those who receive most of their news from NPR or PBS are less likely to have misperceptions. These variations cannot simply be explained as a result of differences in the demographic characteristics of each audience, because these variations can also be found when comparing the demographic subgroups of each audience.
Almost shocking was the extent to which Fox News viewers were mistaken. Those who relied on the conservative network for news, PIPA reported, were three times more likely than the next nearest network to hold all three misperceptions. In the audience for NPR/PBS, however, there was an overwhelming majority who did not have any of the three misperceptions, and hardly any had all three.
Looking at the misperceptions one at a time, people were asked, for example, if the U.S. had discovered the alleged stockpiles of WMD in Iraq since the war began. Just 11% of those who relied on newspapers as their primary news source incorrectly believed that U.S. forces had made such a discovery. Only slightly more 17% of those who relied on NPR and PBS were wrong. Yet 33% of Fox News viewers were wrong, far ahead of those who relied on any other outlet.
Likewise, when people were asked if the U.S. had clear evidence that Saddam Hussein was working closely with al Queda, similar results were found. Only 16% of NPR and PBS listeners/viewers believed that the U.S. has such evidence, while 67% of Fox News viewers were under that mistaken impression.
Overall, 80 percent of those who relied on Fox News as their primary news source believed at least one of the three misperceptions. Viewers/listeners/readers of other news outlets didnt even come close to this total.
Really...this "study" or "survey" results are positive for conservatives.

7. Last Sunday, at Starbucks, one of the kids working there noticed my
Bush Countdown Clock hanging on my purse. He asked me what it was and I showed him.
He said, "You're counting down the days?" I said, "Yep, only 177 days left," with a big smile on my face.
He said, "You don't like George Bush? He's done a lot of great things." That startled me--given his age and kind of sweetly goofy demeanor I assumed he would be high-fiving me.
I blinked a couple times and finally asked, "Such as?"
He replied, "Well, I can't really talk about it at work," which I totally respect, so I just said, "I can't think of a single one," followed with one of these gestures.
I know that most people in this area voted for Bush and expect that they will vote for McCain, but it was such a shock to hear someone still willing to say that GWB has done a lot of great things.I certainly don't agree with everything President Bush has done but I do have to agree with the "Thank God for george bush!" thing. All I have to do is think of Kerry and I think of that sentiment.Straight Shooter (1000+ posts) Wed Jul-30-08 10:48 PM

Wallett named Elgin Township clerk
By Dave Gathman firstname.lastname@example.com December 27, 2012 3:42PM
Laura Wallett of South Elgin, the new Elgin Twp. clerk
Updated: January 29, 2013 6:21AM
ELGIN — Laura Wallett, the Republican candidate for Elgin Township clerk in next April's election, was named to hold that post for the next four months during a special meeting of the township board Wednesday.
Incumbent Kurt Kojzarek had to resign this month as clerk because he had been elected to the Kane County Board in November. That left it up to the township board to appoint a temporary clerk to finish Kojzarek's term.
Board members considered appointing Wallett to the vacancy at their last regular meeting, three weeks ago, but decided to ask for letters of interest from anyone else who might want the job before they made a decision.
After the board members voted unanimously Wednesday in favor of Wallett, Township Supervisor Annette Miller said no other people had indicated an interest in the job.
One other obvious possibility would have been Frank Imhoff, who is running for clerk in April on the Democratic ticket. But perhaps because four of the five current board members are Republicans, Imhoff did not throw his hat into the ring for the temporary appointment.
Trustee Carol Rauschenberger, the lone Democrat on the existing board, has decided not to run again. Running for the four trustee slots on the Republican ticket will be Randy Endean, a South Elgin police officer, plus incumbents Bob Johnson, Pat Hudgens and Vickie Pelock.
Running against them for trustee on the Democratic ticket will be Jonathon Bowles, Susan VanWeelden, Kenneth Spotts and Elvira Ramirez.
Running against Miller, a Republican, for the job of supervisor will be Democrat June Wooten.
Democrat Donna Griffin-Lego is running for highway commissioner against Republican incumbent Rick Burnidge.
The Democratic Party leaders didn't slate anyone to challenge Republican Steve Surnicki for re-election as township assessor.

All businesses in the United States operate within the jurisdiction of a municipality, county or state. Almost every municipality and county has an emergency management agency (EMA), and every state does. And that means they all have emergency managers too. Who is yours? Have you met this person? Do you know what she does, or what he can do for you? These are some basic questions that you must answer to fully understand where your organization fits in the emergency management plans for your jurisdiction, or whether you fit in to their plans at all.

Cloud computing is a model for enabling convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction.

A pedestrian bridge in New York has a new sign unveiled this week featuring real-time data about the Hudson River. Officials say the information will provide some useful facts to visitors while scientists monitor the river's changing conditions.
Environmentalists often lament that the things they seek to protect can't speak for themselves. But for the Hudson River, that's not true anymore.
Each year, some half a million visitors explore the Walkway over the Hudson, a steel cantilever bridge that was converted into the nation's largest footbridge in 2009. And now, thanks to a new digital sign, visitors will be able to access real-time information about the river's environmental conditions.
A recent study found antibiotic-resistant bacteria flourishing in Chicago's urban creeks and rivers at more than double the rates of woodland waterways.
Given the 300,000 new cases of Lyme disease a year in the US reported by the CDC, it is understandable that health organizations and local governments in this country are extremely anxious to develop a broader, more effective tick-borne diseases control strategy.
Triclosan – a synthetic antibacterial widely used in personal care products – is fueling the development of resistant bacteria in streams and rivers.
In a converted greenhouse off of Route 82, scientists at the Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies are planning to contaminate streams.Fortunately, those streams are in 20 fiberglass tubs at the institute's new Artificial Stream Facility.
Something peculiar is happening to rivers and streams in large parts of the United States — the water's chemistry is changing. Scientists have found dozens of waterways that are becoming more alkaline.
To meet current U.S. coal demand through surface mining, an area of the Central Appalachians the size of Washington, D.C., would need to be mined every 81 days.
In the 1980s, the dying red spruce trees of New England—many of them taller than eight-story buildings and more than three centuries old—furnished frightening proof of the power of acid rain.
PodcastWAMC reports on the long-term impacts of acid rain.
Millbrook, NY – Human activities are changing the water chemistry of many streams and rivers in the Eastern U.S., with consequences for water supplies and aquatic life, so reports a new study in the journal Environmental Science and Technology.
Some tick-borne diseases are just becoming known and thus are often not recognized by physicians.
PodcastA new study from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention looks at whether spraying yards with pesticides reduces the risk of contracting a tick-borne disease.
Managing fish in human-altered rivers is a challenge because their food webs are sensitive to environmental disturbance. So reports a new study in the journal Ecological Monographs, based on an exhaustive three-year analysis of the Colorado River in Glen and Grand Canyons.

Published June 7, 2013
By Geoff Folsom, Tri-City Herald
The students, some wearing blue jeans under their gowns, walked out of the side door to CBC's gymnasium just before the graduation's scheduled 7 p.m. start time, only to march back in through the main entrance moments later and retake their seats on the gym floor. Getting through the crowd was a tight squeeze, with people packing the bleachers to the rafters.
CBC Board Chairman Duke Mitchell told those assembled that 550 area students completed their GED tests in the past year.
"Many of those students have continued their education and started taking college classes," he said.
One of those was Sarai Corona, who obtained her GED in fall 2012 and now is studying agriculture. After moving between the United States and Mexico, she told the new graduates it was tough completing school. But the GED gave her another opportunity.
"If I wouldn't have got my GED, I wouldn't have got into college, and that was my main goal," she said.
The first GED tests were given to help returning World War II veterans return to civilian life, Mitchell said.
Since then, CBC reports, 15.2 million people have completed the GED program. Some look to qualify for higher education, others vie for job promotions and some just seek personal satisfaction. More than 95 percent of U.S. employers consider a GED the same as a traditional high school diploma when it comes to hiring.
The ceremony also included a thank you to St. Vincent de Paul Society of Richland, which donated $5,200 to help students pay for their GED classes.
"Without this generous funding, many of the students couldn't complete the test and finish their GED in a timely manner," said Daphne Larios, interim assistant dean of basic skills.
Twenty-three students graduated from the CBC High School Academy earlier Friday. The program is part of a collaboration between the community and local school districts to help high school dropouts close to earning a diploma finish their schooling.

Profilling JBoss with VisualVMArka Sharma Aug 30, 2011 1:19 AM
Hi All,
I am using jdk1.6 update 12 and JBoss 5.1.I am running JBoss and connecting with VisualVM in order to monitor and profile JBoss.Both JBoss and VisualVM are running on my local machine.I am able to monitor JBoss but when I am trying to profile it the system is getting hanged and after some time VisualVM is asking the application is not responding.And asking to stop profilling.I'm able to profile my sample console application via VisualVM.
This issue is coming with JBoss only.
Thanks & Regards,
1. Re: Profilling JBoss with VisualVMPeter Johnson Aug 30, 2011 10:09 AM (in response to Arka Sharma)
VisualVM is not a good tool to use to monitor JBoss AS. VisualVM places a load on JBoss AS and generates a lot of garbage (causing strain on the garbage collector). You would be better off using either JConsole or jstat, or look into Jopr.
2. Re: Profilling JBoss with VisualVMArka Sharma Sep 2, 2011 2:12 AM (in response to Peter Johnson)
Hi Peter,
As you said I have used JConsole to monitor JBoss but now I need to profile JBoss.JProfiler is a commercial tool.I am using VisualVM because it is free.Is there any other free profiler ?
3. Re: Profilling JBoss with VisualVMWolf-Dieter Fink Sep 2, 2011 4:27 AM (in response to Arka Sharma)
Do you check that your JBoss app is running under the same condition as you monitored without whatching VisualVM?
I agree to Peter that VisualVM will weight the results (but BTW every measurement will do this).
You must have clear expectations what you want.
Are you looking for a bug or a special problem, e.g. concurency problems of threads under heavy load will not happen if you use a profiler.
I start with JConsole or jstat to get a picture of memory consumption.
Use a (AOP) Interceptor or special log statements to log duration of calls.
And, if I suppose locking contention, a thread dump.
Profiling will cost a lot of performance, it will be helpful to get snapshots to compare (e.g. memory leaks).
AFAIK Netbeans IDE will have a free profiling tool, maybe the trial version of JProfiler (I'm not sure whether there one still available) will help.
I use a paid version of JProfiler in my last company and it save more money than it costs
Also I would recomend to use the latest JDK version
If you have more informations and special questions your welcome

Philadelphia passed the landmark Clean Indoor Air Worker Protection Law in 2006, protecting Philadelphians from secondhand smoke exposure in restaurants, bars and workplaces.
According to the US Surgeon General, there is no safe level of secondhand smoke. It can cause cancer, make asthma worse, and lead to heart attacks. Youth are especially vulnerable and, in many cases, powerless in preventing exposure. Outdoor tobacco smoke levels may also be as high as secondhand smoke indoors, especially in close proximity to smokers.

Known to participants as SHAP, or State Health Access Project, the approach features enhanced telemedicine technology to deliver same-day emergency psychiatric evaluations from the University of Nevada School of Medicine psychiatrists to patients in rural clinics.
Before the upgrade, Nevada's Mental Health and Developmental Services (MHDS) Rural Services agency used closed-circuit, telemedicine equipment to communicate between psychiatrists and patients living in rural communities. The equipment often had problems with its signal transmissions, which led to poor picture quality, frozen images, mangled audio and dropped calls. This often caused client appointments to be cancelled or rescheduled. The small computer screen also made it difficult to clearly see the person at the other end. In addition, the previous system could only connect between computers at other MHDS Rural Services clinics, which limited access to psychiatric resources.
In contrast, SHAP's new equipment expands connectivity to include rural hospital emergency rooms (in addition to the MHDS Rural Services clinics) with dedicated psychiatrists at the School Of Medicine. A new scheduling agreement with the university ensures psychiatrists are available for emergency psychiatric needs.
The new SHAP equipment, purchased through the Health Division's State Health Access Project and Access to Healthcare Network, has a state-of-the-art, high-resolution screen and is a dedicated televideo processing system. This vastly improves the psychiatrist's ability to observe the client and watch for subtle movement disorders that might indicate negative side-effects from medications or other influences.
SHAP is the result of a collaborative public-private partnership with MHDS Rural Services, Access to Healthcare Network, UNSOM and the rural community hospitals. In addition to the new equipment, this partnership creates a single entry point into a rural system of care.
A second component to the SHAP project is an educational curriculum developed between UNSOM and MHDS Rural Services that is now offered using the new equipment to health care professionals and provides continuing education credits for primary care providers in rural areas.

"I added one of the photos from our engagement session, and they looked wonderful! I can hardly believe its my actual save the date it looks so well! I am working on addressing them right now but my family that has seen them, comment on how unique and beautiful they are! I love it and I can't wait to look for invitations to go with."

The skin is the largest and one of the most important organs of the body. It forms a barrier to protect the body of your cat from infections, parasites, and the elements. It also maintains the body's internal environment, preventing loss of moisture and other body constituents. Because the skin is on the outside of the body, it is easily exposed to outside elements and susceptible to injury and disease. It is also very visible, so a veterinarian can readily detect problems during an examination.
Skin is made up of layers
The epidermis is composed of older cells that form a tough, almost impervious, protective outer barrier. As the outer cells erode, other cells mature and move up to replace them. The epidermis varies in thickness. The more exposed areas, such as the head and back, are thicker than areas such as the armpits and belly.
Haircoat is part of the skin
The haircoat functions as insulation and protection. Each hair grows from a simple opening within the skin called a "hair follicle." A kitten is born with all of the hair follicles it will ever possess. Any future differences or changes of the haircoat will be due to changes within the follicle. Each hair shaft produced by a hair follicle will eventually die and is removed (shed) and replaced by a new hair shaft produced by that hair follicle. Breeds and individuals within every breed will shed and regrow hair at varying rates.
