We think it's a resounding affirmation of the rights of Muslim women who wear the niqab and people who wear religious symbols generally to bring those symbols and those articles of their faith into the courtroom. The court made it very clear that people are not required to park their religion at the door, so to speak.
Faisal Bhabha, A lawyer for the Canadian Council on American-Islamic Relations
Basically we are satisfied because we know that there is no way anyone can prove that this is a religious requirement. So it's a step in the right direction and we hope that the niqab will never be allowed.
Salma Siddiqui, President of the Muslim Canadian Congress
The Supreme Court has only stated the test. What lawyers like is a test, but lawyers also like a few examples of how the test has been applied. This will be the first one, it'll be a big one and it will help other women going forward. … Sometimes being a legal pioneer means cutting through a lot of forest that other people can just walk through afterward.
David Butt, The lawyer for N.S., the woman at the centre of the case
To me, the litmus test really is does the judgment ultimately come down on the side of protecting against wrongful convictions? And here the court has given trial judges the tools to say, look, if credibility is important, we need to see the witness's face.
Frank Addario, A lawyer for the Criminal Lawyers' Association of Ontario
I'm concerned about making it open season that women have to choose between availing themselves of their right to the protection of the law versus their religious right. … With a religious woman who considers it a violation of her religious rights to have to remove the niqab if she goes to court, she simply may decide not to report it or not to participate as a witness if the purchase price for justice is that she has to disregard her religion.
Susan Chapman, A lawyer for the Women's Legal Education and Action Fund
We see it as a thoughtful decision setting out the issues. I think the fact that the court split in three ways – not that usual – shows the complexity of the issues and the fact really that each case is different and those differences always need to be explored.
Barbara Hall, Chief commissioner of the Ontario Human Rights Commission
Nothing short of an absolute decision that would send a clear message to the public that women in sexual-assault cases wearing niqab would be able to keep their niqabs on would be a comfort to our clientele. But we knew that that was an unlikely outcome. So we're comforted by the strong language that allows the judge to at least make some determinations in a case-by-case basis that might consider the facts of a woman's situation and her likelihood to testify.
Amanda Dale, Executive director of the Barbra Schlifer Commemorative Clinic, which helps female victims of violence

GripStrip Extended Line
First evaluated in 2012, the original medium grit GripStrip was rated as a 'Best Product' by Dental Product Shopper evaluators. Now, Centrix introduces 2 new grits to augment the GripStrip line: fine and coarse. These additional grits offer a newfound versatility to this innovative instrument line.
GripStrip Proximal Finishing and Polishing Strips have a diamond-coated design to provide precision finishing and polishing for restorations in proximal areas. Because the strips contain 2 working areas of different grit sizes'a coarser grit for stripping and removing material, and a finer grit for polishing'the clinician can finish and polish with a single tool.
GripStrip can be used to contour and bevel, or to remove excess material and overhangs in filling surfaces and crown borders. Strong yet flexible, GripStrip reaches curved surfaces without breaking. A 'free middle zone,' which is uncoated and contains no grit, helps to get between spaces to the designated contact point on the restoration. Wide, perforated ends allow for a secure, ergonomic grip. GripStrip is also autoclavable to help minimize costs.

Dr. A.Celestine Raj Manohar M.D.,
A Nightingale Sings… - Poem by Dr. A.Celestine Raj Manohar M.D.,
I yearned to be a special bird
That sings a human song!
The nightingale was my first choice,
My dream and wish for long.
I read there lived a Nightingale
– 'The lady with the lamp! '
She took care of the maimed soldiers,
And sick who reached her camp.
I heard she was a noble soul,
Who toiled for ill brethren;
She was the founder of Nursing,
And turned the hell, heaven!
I joined a School of Nursing and
Learnt art of care of sick;
I donned the white cap, nurses wear,
And learnt to dress and prick.
I took the 'Oath of Nightingale',
To serve the sick with love;
It was my life's happiest moment
– God gave me from above!
My life was one of sacrifice,
Reducing pain and ills;
I've joined a noble profession
That satisfaction fills.
I have to be always patient,
And learn to wear a smile;
I say kind words, explaining things,
And hear to woes awhile!
I come across all types of men,
Women, children diseased;
I see a lot of suffering souls,
Some till they get deceased!
I'm glad God chose me for this work,
That's noble to the core;
It fills my heart with joy to see
All healthier, people more!
Though nurses, doctors help to heal,
God is the healer prime;
He hears the pleas of stricken souls,
And cures them in His time.
The Potter God made us clay-pots,
With love and equal care;
We ought to fill up to the brim
– Be His best earthen-ware!
God will reward my work on earth
With health, wealth, happiness;
I thank God for this glorious birth
To serve Him in excess!

Male struck and killed by freight train in Kelso
Updated 8:23 pm, Monday, September 11, 2017

Official statistics show that the United Arab Emirates (UAE) imports 800,000 tons of serrate iron annually, mainly used by local construction industries, which have undergone significant growth in the past years, although they are presently facing a slowdown. The construction sector in the UAE is expected to achieve higher growth levels, as of the beginning of next year, reported Al-Hayat .
The UAE imports iron from Turkey and the Gulf states. Turkish serrate iron is being used in the construction of major private and public projects including the new Borjman Center, Dubai International Airport, Emirates Aviation Hotel and others. — (Mena Report)

MUMBAI: Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has said the economic "gloom and doom" clouding the country in recent years has been dispelled and that he is determined to push ahead with further reforms.
In a speech on Saturday evening in Mumbai, Singh said that in 2006, 10 per cent annual growth looked "eminently achievable" and "the sense of optimism was all pervading".
But he admitted that since then, Indian exports have shrunk and the fiscal deficit has gone up.
"Growth decelerated to 6.5 per cent last year and may be only around six per cent in the current year," he said. "This has dampened investor sentiment.
"Doubts are being raised in some quarters about the India growth story going astray," he said at a corporate function organised by the Economic Times.
Singh vowed that a raft of reforms announced in September would revive the economy and attract foreign investment, with more policy changes in the pipeline.
"We have dispelled gloom and doom, improved the climate for foreign investment (and) are working hard to restore investor confidence and the growth environment," Singh told business leaders in Mumbai, India's financial capital.
In a strongly-worded speech, Singh said that his government "bit the bullet" when introducing recent reforms, including to the retail sector that will allow global chains such as Walmart and Tesco to open branches for the first time.
The move has attracted fierce opposition, and many Indian states may still act to keep out giant supermarkets to protect small shop owners.
"Some of the steps were considered by many of our critics as politically impossible. We bit the bullet and did what we felt was the right thing to do,"Singh said. "Undoubtedly, more needs to be done."
The reforms have already cost the ruling coalition its parliamentary majority with the exit of an allied party that has threatened to bring a no-confidence motion against the government when parliament reopens later this month.
The Congress-led government has suffered a difficult second term in power amid policy paralysis, worsening economic data and corruption allegations, and is looking to revive its fortunes with the next general elections due in 2014.

Valerie Adams gets her groove on
Hundreds of Auckland school kids had the chance to compete and dance alongside Valerie Adams today.
The Olympic gold medal winner was the guest of honour at Get Set Go, a programme run by Athletics New Zealand at Eden Park.
She led more than 400 primary school students in a dance aerobic warm up, which included testing her Gangnam Style dance skills, before participants had two hours of games and activities.
Schools were invited to send a team of Active Achievers, all from years one to three, to take part in the event.
The students had all achieved something special through being active, such as increases in confidence, making new friends and learning new skills.
"The whole idea is to get the kids going, moving and keeping healthy and exercising, and this is a great initiative," said Adams.
"I'm just happy to be part of it, happy to be in the country when it's on."
As well as the chance to have their photo taken with Adams, the students were also able to learn how to shot put from the best.
But every time she meets kids, Adams says the questions are often the same.
"They all go 'oh you're tall' and then they get freaked out about the medal.
"But I actually want people to touch it, hold it, feel it - just enjoy it. It's just here on the grass, hanging out."

The council is set to review the proposal for 777-821 Hamilton Ave. at its Tuesday, Nov. 13, meeting. According to the staff report, the $8 million purchase price will be forwarded to San Mateo County for redistribution to Menlo Park and other agencies as part of the city's disposal of assets formerly owned by the redevelopment agency.
Housing would likely be built on the 2.1 acres, the staff report said. Six owners of properties bordering the lots are also ready to sell to Greenheart to expand the project to 7.1 acres, with the possible exception of a seventh, Jim Calhoun, who owns Calhoun's Country Corner, a woodworking shop at 771 Hamilton Ave.
Go to tinyurl.com/d6y2r7l to review the staff report and rest of the council's Tuesday agenda. The meeting starts at 7 p.m. in council chambers at the Civic Center at 701 Laurel St.
Menlo Park grants
for performing arts
Calling all performing arts groups. Menlo Park has officially launched its new grant program, and the Dec. 1 deadline is right around the corner.
In an effort to boost the city's use of the Menlo-Atherton Performing Arts Center, five community groups will be awarded $500 to $1,000 to subsidize rental of the theater.
The city chipped in $2.6 million to build the performing arts center, sharing the cost with Menlo-Atherton High School. In exchange Menlo Park is supposed to get 55 days of rent-free use during the school year, and unlimited access during school vacations.
But as the Almanac reported in June, it hasn't worked out that way. So far the city use has averaged between 11 and 36 days each year since the theater opened in 2009.
Scheduling presents one obstacle, as school events take priority over community use. Another factor is cost. Community groups failed to flock to the theater because of the rental expense.
That's where the new grant program comes in. No applications will be accepted after Dec. 1, according to the city's announcement. The grants expire after one year. Organizations are welcome to reapply during the next cycle.
Contact the Community Services Department at 330-2223 for more information about the grants.
Two Menlo Park
homes hit by gunfire
Police followed the echoes of gunfire to two bullet-pocked houses in Menlo Park early Monday morning, Nov. 12.
Menlo Park and East Palo Alto officers searched the residences, both located in the 1200 block of Madera Avenue, around 4:30 a.m. They did not come away empty-handed. Inside: two high-capacity assault rifles, a 9mm semi-automatic handgun, and about 10 ounces of marijuana.
They arrested Kennetha Hahn, 28; Deangelo Williams, 22; Jerry Coneal, 18; and Chariece Chew, 19, all of Menlo Park. The quartet was booked for weapons-related charges, drug possession, marijuana sales, negligent discharge of firearms, and conspiracy, with criminal street gang enhancements.
vehicles recovered
Two stolen vehicles adapted for wheelchairs vanished from a Menlo Park woman's home on Nov. 7, but returned three days later, thanks to the police.
Annette "Nettie" Wijsman, a 55-year-old ergonomics consultant, has been confined to a wheelchair since 2007 and relies on the vehicles for work. Theft insurance covered a 2000 black Honda CRV, but not a 1999 gold Dodge van.
Ms. Wijsman told the Almanac she forgot that she left her keys in one vehicle after unloading it. When she realized the keys were missing the next day, she went to get them and found both vehicles had disappeared from her home near Flood Park.

Midway through Avery's recent beer dinner at Encinitas' Union Kitchen & Tap, I texted my best friend:
"These are some craaaaazy beers."
Might not sound like it, but that was meant as a compliment. The eight beers Adam Avery brought from his Colorado brewery were "craaaaazy" as in "creaaaaative." I didn't embrace every one, but each of these barrel-aged specialities served as a fascinating challenge to how we think about beer.
Take the first one that was brought to the table: Recolte Sauvage. This ale had been brewed with cabernet sauvignon grapes and aged in cabernet sauvignon barrels. The end product is, no surprise, winelike from its tannins and oakiness to its 10 percent alcohol content. Nothing I'd order (when I want a cabernet, I don't order a beer) but indicative of Avery barrel-herder Andy Parker's try-anything approach.
The Depuceleuse was similarly reckless, but here Parker's gamble paid off with awe-inspiring results. Brewed with sour cherries, fermented with brettanomyces, aged in Zinfandel barrels, it is a terrific sour ale that -- despite the oak and an undeniably vinous character -- hasn't forgotten its origins.
I enjoyed the Oud Floris, modeled on the Flemish oud bruin style, yet given a twist by aging varying portions of the brew in cab barrels (67 percent), bourbon barrels (17 percent), and rum and chardonnay barrels (8 percent each).
The last two brews, served with dessert, were monsters. I fled from one beast and embraced the other. Rumpkin (18.1 percent) was not my cup of ale. And while I could taste the cinnamon, nutmeg and -- shudder! -- pumpkin, the concoction was overwhelmed by the alcoholic fumes it acquired from almost three years in rum barrels.
Uncle Jacob's Stout was only slightly less boozy (17.4) but I was smitten by the dark-roasted coffee, bitter chocolate, cream and molasses flavors that shone through the bourbon notes imparted by Maker's Mark barrels.
"A lot of people overdo the bourbon," Avery said, "but this is just right."
Amen to that.
Union's food, like Avery's beers, sometimes suffered from a case of the too-toos. But when the kitchen crew relaxed and delivered something simple -- the charred wild boar loin, say -- the flavors were bold, rich and well-defined.
One tricky dish that really worked: the Julian apple risotto, a rice pudding served with toffee crumbles, dried apple, pumpkin bread crouton and a mystery dollop quivering in the middle of the plate. Poked with your fork, the membrane surrounding this bit of molecular gastronomy dissolved and red eye gravy spilled forth. Fun and, more important, delicious.

What are the side effects of the flu jab? Lucy Karsten finds out…
Fresh from researching the merits of different jelly flavours, Lucy Karsten finds herself facing a flu jab dilemma. What are the side effects, and should she get it?
Iâve been thinking a little bit about the flu jab. Normally, it occupies very little of my attention â much like the irritating letters from my bank asking why I donât have any money and the bewildering requests from my cleaner for ânew cleaning productsâ. (I would very much like someone to explain what these ânew cleaning productsâ actually are. Iâve already bought litres of Fairy liquid. The woman is clearly insatiable). I have many other, more important things to consider. For instance, Iâve spent this week conducting a highly controlled experiment into the merits of different jelly flavours. I will report on my findings next week.
This year, however, the flu jab has rudely pricked its way into my consciousness. It started with my therapist. âHello, itâs me,â I emailed her last week. âI donât feel well. I think you have made me sick.â She emailed back: âHi. Iâm sorry that youâre not feeling well. I have actually had the flu jab so it is unlikely I have given you your illness.â
I must admit, I was taken aback. My therapist is odd but sheâs not usually delusional. I knew this might be a sensitive issue, so I emailed her back politely: âWhat? Are you 80 years old? Why have you had the flu jab? Do you want to talk about it?â she didnât reply. I pottered around in my room, pretending I didnât care. Then I began to research the flu jab. âThe flu jab is recommended for vulnerable and high-risk individuals, such as the over 60s, pregnant women and carers.â I wondered if I should get the flu jab. I am an extremely caring person.
I stopped to make myself a sandwich. (Brown bread, cream cheese, ham, pickle, mango chutney and tomato. It was very nice. Though it is possible the bread was originally white. Best not to dwell on these kinds of things, I always think. And best not to tell my dinner guests). While I was in the kitchen eating said sandwich (off a plate, Iâm not an animal), I noticed my neighbour outside with her little girl, so I popped out to talk about my sandwich to them. (I would have offered to share it but Iâm still not sure what the rules are on giving food to children. I think itâs OK if youâre not in a van but I will have to double check. I have a lot of leftover jelly).
I most likely would have forgotten all about my flu jab research if it hadnât been for my friend. âIâm feeling very ropeyâ he texted me. âWhy?â I asked. (It is imperative not to give sympathy to people until you have determined if their illness is self-inflicted or not. I once wasted valuable minutes consoling a friend who was simply hungover. From a brilliant party. A party I hadnât been invited to). âIâve had a bad reaction to the flu jab,â he replied. âWhat are your symptoms?â I asked.
It is also imperative to try to convince others you hold several professional qualifications you might not have sat exams for. I regularly give medical, legal and actuarial advice. What can I say? Iâm a generous person. I mean, I would like to charge for this advice but that is against the law. Which obviously, as a qualified lawyer, I already knew.
âShivery, aching limbs, tired, headache, sore throat.â My friend texted back. I considered his symptoms with all my medical expertise (90 per cent of which was gleaned from reading the back of the Calpol bottle. Iâm donât know why Calpol isnât relied upon more by the medical profession. Itâs the closest thing we have to a panacea). âUm,â I texted. âSounds like flu.â He didnât reply.
I donât know what it is about the flu jab but I would like to see the government insist on more research into its negative side effects, which currently seem to include both ârudenessâ and âfluâ. I would also like to see more clearly defined guidelines on what constitutes a âcarerâ.

However, he will serve out the remainder of his term as the city's MP.
At a midday media conference, Mr Owen said evidence given to the ICAC makes it appear highly likely that prohibited donors did contribute in some way to his election campaign.
Mr Owen said he was extremely angry about the situation and had a "very heavy heart".
He said he'd been shocked and dismayed by the revelations in recent weeks regarding political donations from banned donors to the Liberal Party of NSW.
"Public admissions that have been made at ICAC regarding the Newcastle 2011 State election campaign have made me feel undermined and very sad," Mr Owen said.
"I want to say this clearly to the people of Newcastle, I had no knowledge whatsoever of any funding irregularities whatsoever in my campaign.
"However, it appears highly likely that prohibited donors did contribute in some way to my election campaign."
The MP said the past week had been very difficult for his family and himself.
But he said his vision for Newcastle had never wavered, and he had given his heart and soul to the city.
Mr Owen said due to the events of the past couple of weeks, as well as recurring health issues, he would not contest the State election next year.
"I have worked honestly and without fear or favour for the people of this great city and will continue to do so to the best of my ability for the remainder of my term," he said.
Tim Owen said he would not be making any further public comment on the matter.

The Humanities, Done Digitally
A few months back, I gave a lunchtime talk called "Digital Humanities: Singular or Plural?" My title was in part a weak joke driven primarily by brain exhaustion. As I sat at the computer putting together my remarks, which were intended to introduce the field, I'd initially decided to title them "What Is Digital Humanities?" But then I thought "What Is the Digital Humanities?" sounded better, and then I stared at the screen for a minute trying to decide if it should be "What Are the Digital Humanities?" And in my pre-coffee, underslept haze, I honestly couldn't tell which one was correct.
At first this was just a grammatical mixup, but at some point it occurred to me that it was actually a useful metaphor for something that's been going on in the field of late. Digital humanities has gained prominence in the last couple of years, in part because of the visibility given the field by the use of social media, particularly Twitter, at the Modern Language Association convention and other large scholarly meetings. But that prominence and visibility have also produced a fair bit of tension within the field—every "What is Digital Humanities?" panel aimed at explaining the field to other scholars winds up uncovering more differences of opinion among its practitioners. Sometimes those differences develop into tense debates about the borders of the field, and about who's in and who's out.

My first stab at trying to define digital humanities came in a post I wrote in July 2010 for The Chronicle's ProfHacker blog. In that post, I wrote that the digital humanities could be understood as "a nexus of fields within which scholars use computing technologies to investigate the kinds of questions that are traditional to the humanities, or, as is more true of my own work, ask traditional kinds of humanities-oriented questions about computing technologies."
There is, however, a specific history to the term "digital humanities," detailed by my friend (and scholar of English) Matthew Kirschenbaum in a 2010 article in the Association of Departments of English Bulletin. In 2001 the field was known as "humanities computing," and had been around for some decades, when Susan Schreibman, Ray Siemens, and John Unsworth, three of its key practitioners, entered into discussions with Blackwell Publishing about editing a volume prospectively entitled "A Companion to Humanities Computing." Blackwell wanted a title that might appeal to a wider range of readers, and so proposed "A Companion to Digitized Humanities." Unsworth countered with "Digital Humanities," to keep the field from appearing to be about mere digitization. And the name has stuck, helping to characterize a robust area of research and teaching supported by a number of prestigious conferences, well-received journals, scholarly societies, and even a dedicated office within the National Endowment for the Humanities.
Digital humanities thus grows specifically out of an attempt to make "humanities computing," which sounded as though the emphasis lay on the technology, more palatable to humanists in general. The field's background in humanities computing typically, but far from exclusively, results in projects that focus on computing methods applicable to textual materials. Some of these projects have been editorial and archival in nature, producing large-scale digital text collections for scholarly study. One such project is the William Blake Archive, which presents carefully annotated scholarly editions of both the writing and visual art of the Romantic-era British poet. It is sponsored by the Library of Congress and supported by the Universities of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Rochester, and a division of the NEH.
Tools and technical standards to support the production of such archives have been another key source of digital-humanities work, including projects like the Text Encoding Initiative or the Text-Image Linking Environment. There are projects that focus on processing those large collections through a statistical analysis of a text's linguistic features, for example, or author-attribution studies or studies that rely on data mining. And there are initiatives that are designed to help digital-humanities archives and projects become interoperable and to facilitate the peer review of these projects.
Digital humanities as it is currently practiced isn't just located in literary-studies departments; the field is broadly humanities-based, and includes scholars in history, musicology, performance studies, media studies, and other fields that can benefit from bringing computing technologies to bear on traditional humanities materials.
However, when many of us hear the term "digital humanities" today, we take the referent to be not the specific subfield that grew out of humanities computing but rather the changes that digital technologies are producing across the many fields of humanist inquiry. Disciplines such as rhetoric and composition, for instance, have long been interested in the difference that the computer makes in contemporary writing and communication, as has digital-media studies.
It's clear that there's an overlap between these fields and that which has been called "digital humanities"—between scholars who use digital technologies in studying traditional humanities objects and those who use the methods of the contemporary humanities in studying digital objects—but clear differences lie between them. Those differences often produce significant tension, particularly between those who suggest that digital humanities should always be about making (whether making archives, tools, or new digital methods) and those who argue that it must expand to include interpreting.
The terms of this tension should begin to sound a bit familiar: It's an updated version of the theory-practice divide that has long existed in other quarters of the humanities. There has long been a separation, for instance, between studio artists and art historians, or between literary scholars and creative writers, and that separation can often lead to profound misunderstandings and miscommunications. In media studies, however, we've been reckoning with the theory-practice divide for some time. After much tension between media makers and media scholars, an increasing number of programs are bringing the two modes together in a rigorously theorized praxis, recognizing that the boundaries between the critical and the creative are arbitrary. In fact, the best scholarship is always creative, and the best production is always critically aware. The digital humanities seems another space within the academy where the divide between making and interpreting might be bridged in productive ways.
Does that mean we should throw open the floodgates and declare all forms of humanities scholarship that come into contact with the digital to be "digital humanities"? Should we expand the definition of the field to include, as I've heard it said several times, "every medievalist with a Web site"? Undoubtedly not: Just as there are scholars who write about film from perspectives that don't take into account the intellectual history of film studies, and thus are not considered part of the field, there are scholars who work with digital materials but who remain outside the traditions and assumptions of the digital humanities.
That fact doesn't diminish the usefulness of the debates about the borders of the digital humanities as a discipline, however. As Neil Fraistat, director of the Maryland Institute for Technology in the Humanities, pointed out in a recent talk at the University of Texas at Austin, these debates can be most productive if we understand them as a means of opening ourselves to the kinds of conversations that true interdisciplinarity can support. While disciplinarity is often institutionally useful, after all—allowing for the development of centers, departments, and tenure lines—it can also be turned against its adherents, restricting their movement and disciplining, literally, the knowledge they produce.
The state of things in digital humanities today rests in that creative tension, between those who've been in the field for a long time and those who are coming to it today, between disciplinarity and interdisciplinarity, between making and interpreting, between the field's history and its future. Scholarly work across the humanities, as in all academic fields, is increasingly being done digitally. The particular contribution of the digital humanities, however, lies in its exploration of the difference that the digital can make to the kinds of work that we do, as well as to the ways that we communicate with one another. These new modes of scholarship and communication will best flourish if they, like the digital humanities, are allowed to remain plural.

Cocktail of the Week: The Y.O. Ranch Front Porch Fizz Is Patio-Perfect
Pop pop, fizz fizz ... oh, what a great drink this is.
Susie Oszustowicz
Patio season is upon us ... blah blah blah. That line's been the intro for every article/blog post/Instagram caption for the last month and a half, but in Dallas, patio season is fleeting; great cocktails are not.
I stopped into Y.O. Ranch Steakhouse in the West End for a quick post-9 to 5 cool down on their patio and ordered their most popular drink, the Front Porch Fizz, which can actually be enjoyed on their front porch ... kind of. It's a simple, light and delicious patio-perfect cocktail by Justin Berry, but watch out — it's so easy to drink that it may get you in trouble.
Y.O. Ranch recently turned 20 — no small feat in a dining market like Dallas. Stop in and wish them a happy birthday and have a drink to celebrate, or tackle this one at home.
1.5 oz. Fords gin
0.5 oz. St. Germain
Fresh lemon juice
Muddled strawberry
Sparkling wine (Y.O uses Gruet)
Shake all ingredients except the sparkling wine together. Pour in a Collins glass and top with sparkling wine. Garnish with a strawberry slice and lemon twist or slice.

There may be a thousand things in this life that delight you, but there is one thing only that demands your attention over the coming 12 months. You know what it is and you know why it is so important, so make a start on it today, and then just keep going.
ARIES (March 21 - April 20):
You may not agree with what you hear today, but you must let others have their say. Free speech is worth fighting for, so if someone tries to shout down a dissenting opinion, make it your business to defend their right to be different.
TAURUS (April 21 - May 21):
If there is something you have been trying to do but every time you get started something forces you to stop, it could be a sign you should be doing something else. Maybe the planets are trying to push you in a more rewarding direction.
GEMINI (May 22 - June 21):
Certain people may be feeling down, but they have no right to bring you down with them, so go somewhere there is music playing and people dancing and not a sad face to be seen. Do whatever it takes to keep your mood light.
CANCER (June 22 - July 23):
Someone older and wiser will give you some excellent advice today, and if you are smart you will listen and learn. Don't forget that there are more important things in life than material success, not the least of which is doing the right thing.
LEO (July 24 - Aug. 23):
Someone's negative attitudes are getting you down more than you care to admit, so if you have been thinking of bringing a partnership to an end, now is the time to be decisive. Don't feel sorry for them – it's your peace of mind that matters.
VIRGO (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23):
You will get more done over the next 24 hours than you managed to get done in the past 24 days. But don't think that means you have to work harder. On the contrary, you should cut back on your workload. Achieve more by doing less.
LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23):
First appearances can be deceptive, so don't be put off if someone you meet today seems a bit too serious for your tastes. The planets suggest the two of you will be working with each other a lot, so do what you can to put them at ease.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22):
You may be reserved by nature, but every now and again you go right the other way and say things that shock those around you – and this is one of those days. Put simply, you've had enough of complaints and criticisms. It's time to hit back.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21):
Be honest. Let others know what they are doing is wrong and what they must do to put it right. Most importantly, don't allow yourself to worry that you might bruise their sensitive egos. Honesty is the best policy even if it hurts.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20):
You are trying hard to deny your feelings for someone because you fear it might damage your reputation and maybe even harm you financially. Who knows, maybe it will, but is that really a good enough excuse to turn your back on affection?
AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19):
Although this is your time of year, what happens today may take the gloss off things a bit. In a way, that's good, because you need days like this to remind you that all those other days are special and must not be taken for granted.
PISCES (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20):
Don't worry if the party spirit seems to have passed you by, because it is the inner spirit, the real you, that matters. The planets indicate that the deeper you think about your life and its meaning today the more you will enjoy it tomorrow.

text: I know the answer to this is somewhere already posted but for the life of me I cannot find it. Do the Cascades and Lakes only sleep 6? Is it the older units that sleep 8? I looked at my reservation thorough Skyauction and it says that max is 6 or is it the other way around.

There is a timeless quality to El Paseo, the Mill Valley steakhouse with the Food Network star chef and rock star investor. Established in 1936, El Paseo has operated in one form or anther as a restaurant for all of its 77 years. The current owners, chef Tyler Florence and musician Sammy Hagar, relaunched it as an American chophouse in 2011. This spring, after the departure of opening chef Preston Clark, Mike Ward was named executive chef.
Ward brings his own star power to the kitchen. After stints on the East Coast at Cambridge's Craigie Street Bistro and New York City's WD-50 and 11 Madison Park, Ward returned to Sacramento and the well-regarded new American restaurant, the Kitchen, before arriving in Mill Valley. With a new chef minding the burners, the menu maintains its classic, meaty heart, but has shifted somewhat from Southern flavors to a more refined California approach.
Take, for example, the beets and goat cheese salad ($13). Presented on the plate with halved strawberries and grapefruit segments, the dish was a riot of summer color with dainty petals of a lavender-tinted flower, dots of beet puree and pistachio "dust." It was an elegant garden designed with a modernist eye.
"Mike's ability to craft a scene on the plate is unsurpassed," says Florence, who works with Ward to develop new menu items. The new patio and bar menu includes crispy duck wings ($14), confited in grape seed oil and dressed with plum butter and Calabrian chili oil, and devils on horseback ($7), a playful name for California dates wrapped in local bacon.
Entrees, too, benefit from Ward's blend of exacting technique and flavor combinations. The 18-ounce California grass-fed veal chop ($32) was cooked to a chef's choice of medium rare, an ideal showcase for the delicate flavor of the meat. Topped with porcini butter and fried sage, crisp and soft textures mingled well with verdant and umami flavors. The béarnaise burger ($17), layered with fats from bacon, sauce and brioche bun, was more humdrum, the rich flavor of the meat hidden under its weighty mates.
Florence, perhaps reading my mind, is at work on a new burger. "It is a one-to-one of short rib and chuck," he says. Look for it on the menu sometime this month at around $17.
Another miss was a side of roasted asparagus with béarnaise ($8), which was seared well past tender, the sauce becoming a mask, not a foil.
On the busy Saturday night we visited, service was crisply efficient. Though our server was not a chatty sort, the dishes arrived when they should and our wine glasses never made it to empty. The wine list features mostly American and European bottlings such as a Mauritson Cabernet Sauvignon from Sonoma County ($65). A nice-sized glass of Lioco chardonnay ($14) and a Rosso di Montepulciano ($12) transitioned easily from drinks at the bar to poised salad and burger companions. The wine list is extensive and features many from Hagar's personal collection, such as a $450 bottle of 1987 Robert Mondavi Reserve.
El Paseo's charm lies in its storied ambiance. Walk into the passageway ("paseo" translates as "passage," "stroll" or "entrance") from either street-side entrance and your sense of the time-space continuum shifts. The serpentine space opens onto numerous patios, nooks and crannies, charmingly lit with candles and strings of warmly glowing bulbs.
The interior rooms are universally warm and inviting, with lots of exposed brick, dark leather and classic white table settings. Split into two rooms by the compact kitchen, the west side of the building is warmly lit with flickering retro gas lamps. The front room is clubbier with tall dark banquettes while the back room is anchored by a gorgeous copper chimney over the large fireplace. The bar, gruff bartender included, opens onto one of the patios. There is an enveloping intimacy to the setting. Laughter is plentiful here.
After 2½ years in operation, El Paseo and its chefs, Florence and Ward, seem to have found their stride. The American menu stretches a bit further, incorporating American classic flavors and developing new classics. In this beautiful setting with these accomplished chefs, every day can be a special experience.

Have you seen "Quartet" yet? Dustin Hoffman's debut as a film director is a charming and poignant love letter to the performing arts, specifically music.
Set in a palatial retirement home for elder professional British musicians, the film features the magnificent talents of Maggie Smith, Tom Courtenay, Michael Gambon, Billy Connolly, Pauline Collins and others.
The quartet in question is the glorious foursome from Verdi's opera "Rigoletto." The plot of the film hinges on a late-in-life reprise of this powerful aria by four retired singers who made a famous recording of the opera in their heyday.
As residents, their famed "Rigoletto" brilliance is needed for a fundraiser for the financially strapped home. Maggie Smith's character — a legendary diva — displays prickly reluctance to appear in the benefit.
Splendid performances in this tender and delightful story, written by Ronald Harwood, showcase theatrical artistry as well as musical. If you haven't seen it yet, you might want to head over to Osio Cinemas in downtown Monterey while it is still playing.
Opera lovers, read this!
This week, opera singers are appearing around the Peninsula. Heading the list is the Carmel Music Society presentation of Opera San Jose's "Two Operas in Two Acts" at Carmel's Sunset Center at 3 p.m. Sunday.
The performance showcases these fine young professional artists in semi-staged, costumed adaptations of Verdi's "Il Trovatore" and Johann Strauss Jr.'s Viennese operetta "Die Fledermaus."
Popular Carmel Bach Festival lecturer David Gordon will give a pre-concert talk at 2 p.m. in Studio 105.
Opera San José was founded in 1984 with the mission of showcasing and training emerging opera singers who are being groomed for international performing careers.
As artists in resident of the company, they build substantial professional repertoires as they are prepared to meet the demands of a successful operatic career.
For tickets and information about this special Sunday afternoon opera concert, call the Carmel Music Society at 625-9938 or go to www.carmelmusic.org.
'Night in Old Napoli'
On Saturday at 8 p.m., Ensemble Monterey presents a gala concert of Italian opera and popular song at the Golden State Theatre. Opera favorites sung by popular local Sicilian tenor Erasmo "Orazio" Aiello and critically acclaimed soprano Laura Anderson will highlight this benefit evening for the popular chamber ensemble.
Intermission boasts its own party entertainment with Mike "Pops" Marotta Sr., Dennis Murphy and Joe Wedlake. Then Marotta Jr. and Dave Dally lead Monterey International and the Monterey String Quartet in a festive performance of Italian folk favorites, pop tunes and Andrea Bocelli songs.
The Italian benefit will help raise funds for Ensemble Monterey's season finale in April: Benjamin Britten's monumental "War Requiem," conducted by John Anderson. It will be presented in collaboration the ensemble's artistic partners: Cantiamo, the Cabrillo Chorus and the Children's Chorus.
For tickets to "A Night in Old Napoli," call 333-1283 or go to www.EnsembleMonterey.org.
'Bach & Forth'
On Friday, Saturday and Sunday, the Camerata Singers will present "Bach & Forth." Music by J.S. Bach and John Corigliano will be sung along with "Kyrie Passamezzo Antico" by Peninsula composer Jefferson DeMarco, and a work by Latvian composer Peteris Vasks. Mezzo-soprano Linda Purdy will appear as soloist in Corigliano's "Fern Hill."
This program includes participation from the Camerata Futures students. Performances take place in Salinas, Monterey and Pacific Grove. For tickets and more information see www.Camerata-singers.org or call 642-2701.
Bach on sale
Tickets for the Carmel Bach Festival's season of "The French Connection" went on sale to the general public today March 1. The internationally acclaimed festival takes place July 13-27 with conductor Paul Goodwin leading the ensemble in a series of main series concerts, chamber recitals and more that key on Bach's love of French music and style.

Stockmarket turmoil in Wall Street has helped Apple pip oil group Exxon to become the world's most valuable company.
The tech company has been closing in on Exxon for some time and was "just" $US50 billion away from taking the lead when it reported yet another quarter of record-breaking earnings on 19 July.
As the US stockmarkets bounced back from last week's crash the tech firm overtook Exxon with a market value of $US337 billion compared to ExxonMobil's $US334 billion. Exxon could easily take back the lead if the recent fears for the global economy subside but the gap is so close that the two look certain to be battling it out for some time.
Exxon's value has been hit by the economic slowdown and depressed oil prices brought about by the financial turmoil. Its shares were as high as $US87.98 in April but were trading at just under $US70 last night.
Apple has shown gravity-defying growth and delivered record results after record results. Last month it produced another stellar quarter. It sold 20.34 million iPhones – more than double the number in the same period last year – and 9.25m iPads, almost triple the number sold during its debut quarter in 2010.
"We're thrilled to deliver our best quarter ever," said Apple's chief executive, Steve Jobs, announcing that revenues were $US28.57bn, up 90 per cent year-on-year, and profits $US7.31 billion, a rise of 124 per cent. Exxon's second-quarter earnings were up a more pedestrian 41 per cent from the second quarter of 2010.
Jobs was fired from Apple in 1985 as the company lost its way and Microsoft-powered PCs seemed destined to dominate the market. When he returned to the company in 1997, the troubled firm was worth just $US2 billion.
Starting with the brightly coloured iMac, Apple redefined the consumer electronics market at a time when the internet was just going mainstream. The iMac was followed by the iPod, which revolutionised the music industry. Then came the iPhone and the iPad.
One of Jobs's early goals was to surpass Dell. When Jobs returned to Apple Michael Dell was asked what he would do in Jobs's position: "I'd shut it down and give the money back to the shareholders," he said.
In January 2006, with a value of $US72.1 billion, Apple surpassed Dell. In May last year, Apple achieved a huge milestone, passing Microsoft in market capitalisation.
Microsoft (presently valued at $US205 billion) was the largest company in the world by market capitalisation for two years in the late 1990s. Now Apple has left all its tech peers behind and is jostling for position with the oil industry's biggest beast.

RAY SUAREZ: Now a newsmaker interview with the secretary of education, Margaret Spellings. Today she announced changes to the No Child Left Behind law. Preferential treatment will be given to states that demonstrate a commitment to raising student achievement levels. She joins us now to talk about that, among other issues.
Welcome, Madam Secretary.
MARGARET SPELLINGS: Thank you, Ray.
RAY SUAREZ: What do the changes that you announced today require of the states?
MARGARET SPELLINGS: Well, it basically said three things. It said that we're going to respect the bright line principles of the No Child Left Behind law which require annual assessment and reporting student data by sub group, by student achievement. And we're going to look at results. The first question we're going to ask every state is: how are the kids doing, are you closing the achievement gap. And if they're on track, having met both of those two conditions, then we're going to take a more outcome-oriented approach, a less bureaucratic approach with them, so long as they are reaching the goal of closing the achievement gap.
RAY SUAREZ: You've called these changes in various announcements a common sense approach to No Child Left Behind.
Were these changes in part made in response to things that you were hearing from the states about how the law was working as it rolled out and different parts took effect?
MARGARET SPELLINGS: Well, certainly in part, that is one factor. I have worked at the state level, the federal level, and the local level, and I understand different people's vantage points. This law is now three years old. We've learned some things since that law has passed. And we can refine and learn from our experience; we can learn from the research and inform this law as we move forward in the implementation.
RAY SUAREZ: One interesting passage talked about figuring out whether states were serious about reform, committed to reform. Aren't those sort of subjective analyses? How do you measure whether one state is and decide another one isn't?
MARGARET SPELLINGS: Well, that's what's so important about the core principles. There's nothing objective about whether states have annual assessment of every child in grades 3 through 8 in reading and math in place, either you do or out don't, and whether you're reporting that data to parents and families and policy makers, by student groups so that we can focus on the needs of particular children who have so long been ignored by our system.
So those are very objective standards and are very bright lines, as I call them, that we can evaluate at the Department of Education.
RAY SUAREZ: One of the features of the new reforms is to allow children who have learning problems to be assessed in a different way, or at least a portion of them. And over the years, educational activists have complained loud and long about the clumping of black and brown children especially in learning disabled categories, in special ed categories.
Might this open the door to a kind of gaming of the numbers, putting your weakest students in those categories so they can be tested by a different standard?
MARGARET SPELLINGS: Actually, Ray, quite the contrary. This additional flexibility is based on our sound science, and is based on what practitioners tell us are the number of kids who actually need much more intensive instruction, more, a different kind of assessment, and a different approach in order to meet their needs. For too long, actually, we have either said you're this or that.
This recognizes that not all special education children are created equal, and they're going to need more time, they're going to need different and more intensive and extensive instruction, and they're going to need more and better prepared teachers that can help meet their needs. And this is a more sophisticated approach to meeting those kids' needs that we've ever had.
We at the Department of Education are going to provide technical assistance; I've committed $14 million to show states how they might meet this more sophisticated approach. We have some pioneers, some leaders around the country, in Massachusetts and Kansas to name a couple, that are doing some of the best work. And I want to share that around the country.
RAY SUAREZ: Would it make it easier, would the downstream effect be to make it easier for some districts to attain the targets set up by No Child Left Behind?
MARGARET SPELLINGS: What this new regulation will provide for states who are committed to providing additional instruction, teacher training and much more sophisticated assessments, it's going to make it easier for them to serve kids better.
The requirements that those kids still be included in the accountability system and still be proficient by 2013-14, as I said in the core principles, the bright lines of this law, will still be in place. This just provides a practical way for them to meet those goals.
RAY SUAREZ: States have been complaining throughout the No Child Left Behind time period about the fact that they've had to come up with a lot of tasks and haven't always had all the money from the federal government that they would need to develop those new standards and new tests.
Does this set of regulations announced today carry with it some money to help make those new tests for let's say learning disabled children?
MARGARET SPELLINGS: That's why the Department has pledged $14 million to gather the best practices among the states and to better assess and better measure these kids.
But the General Accountability Office has found that No Child Left Behind and the requirements as it relates to the additional assessments that states must do are very adequately funded and that has been found both within the government and by sources and studies and experts from outside the government as well.
RAY SUAREZ: Well, GAO notwithstanding, Connecticut I think is getting ready to test just that proposition. They want to take your Department to court and are talking about having other states join them. And they gave as an example the fact that you've laid on them about $112 million worth of requirements for which you funded about $70 million. Is that a fair description of what's happened?
MARGARET SPELLINGS: No. I think not.
In Connecticut, my understanding, although I haven't seen the actual litigation, is that they want to measure every other year and not provide annual assessment as is required in the statute.
And that law passed more than three years ago, we have been sending them resources to implement those annual assessment provisions since, and here they are on the eve of implementation telling us that they can't do it. I think it's regrettable, frankly, when the achievement gap between African-American and Anglo kids in Connecticut is quite large. And I think it's unfortunate for those families and those students that they are trying to find a loophole to get out of the law as opposed to attending to the needs of those kids.
RAY SUAREZ: Well, there are gaps, and since we're on Connecticut, I guess we can use it as an example, but there's also very high degrees of residential segregation, places where the schools are 100 percent white and 100 percent black, very high concentrations in certain places of great wealth, very high concentrations of other places of poverty. What are the tests really tell you that you didn't already know about a place like Connecticut?
MARGARET SPELLINGS: They tell us who needs help, they tell us who has been left behind, they tell us precisely and specifically in a good assessment system what kind of help is needed. They tell us what kind of teachers and what kind of teacher training is needed. And you know, I think it's un-American — I would call it — for us to take the attitude that African-American children in Connecticut living in inner cities are not going to be able to compete, are not going to be prepared to compete in this world and are not going to be educated to high levels. That's the notion, the soft bigotry of low expectations, as the president calls it, that No Child Left Behind rejects.
RAY SUAREZ: There have been complaints from some of the biggest metropolitan area school districts that they're not getting enough credit for the progress that they are making that still falls shy of the mark.
The officer in charge of implementing No Child Left Behind in Chicago, for instance complained to a reporter it assumes you're going to hit the same benchmark at the same time as everyone else, regardless of where you started. And we started a lot farther back than most people.
MARGARET SPELLINGS: I recognize the great work that some of our urban districts are doing, in fact I cited them in my remarks today. They are blazing the trail, they're the folks that are not in denial; they are working hard to close the achievement gap and are seeing some of the best progress.
But I would say that no small part of that is due to No Child Left Behind, to this annual measurement, to paying attention to every child, every year, and to prescribing a cure, an instructional cure if you will, so that we can get kids on grade level by 2013-14, as the law requires.
RAY SUAREZ: And yet some of those individual schools that are making the kind of strides our talking about are still classed after two or three years as failing schools, rather than schools that are moving ahead.
MARGARET SPELLINGS: The word "failing" never appears in No Child Left Behind. What the law describes is schools that need improvement.
And I think that we in America need to understand that many schools need improvement, and particularly with respect to how they're serving minority children. And it just, it highlights and puts them on notice that those are the particular needs at that school that must be attended to. And I think that's righteous, I think that's what parents want to know. They want to know what's going right in the school, and what needs improvement, and that's what this law does.
RAY SUAREZ: On quite another topic that we haven't had a chance to talk to you about until now, the contretemps over Buster and the cartoon; this involved you complaining to PBS about an episode of Buster's Postcards that involved a lesbian couple in Vermont.
Looking back on how that all rolled out, are you confident that your Department in asking PBS not to run it handled it the right way?
MARGARET SPELLINGS: I know that what the Congress asked the Department of Education to do was to work on early reading and early numeracy, and developmental skills for young children, in this case six- to eight-year-old children for this programming.
And I believe that public broadcasting has an important trust with the American people, it's an intimate medium of television, and that we can do reading and language development for young children without getting into human sexuality. I think parents — I'm a mother of two school-aged children mysel — want to introduce those concepts in their own time, in their own way. And I think we owe them that opportunity.
RAY SUAREZ: Did you take the risk, of leaving the impression that it's government policy that the hundreds of thousands of children being raised in homes like the one featured in the Buster episode are other than a regular family, other than a desirable family, other than a normal family?
MARGARET SPELLINGS: Well, I regret if that's what's been taken away from this discussion. All I know what is the Congress has asked the Department to do, what federal tax dollars are being supported to develop this programming for young children around early reading and around — for six- to eight-year-old children, and that's what's been asked of this Department and that's what we'll continue to do.
RAY SUAREZ: Secretary Spellings, thanks for being with us.
MARGARET SPELLINGS: Thank you, Ray, great.

London, Jan. 13 (ANI): English rugby player Paul Wood- who lost a testicle last year after being kicked during a match - has been accused by a porn star of lying to her and his wife.
Holly Henderson, 34, claimed that the Warrington Wolves player had "engaged in sexual activity" with her 24 hours before he said that they were no longer "romantically involved," the Sun reported.
Henderson - who previously dated Mario Balotelli - said that Wood had assured her of splitting with his wife Shelley, which were lies.
She added that Wood needed to grow some balls and stop lying.
Wood, 31, left his family on December 27 after meeting Henderson on Twitter. (ANI)

Washington Nationals: Strasburg drops to 1-5 as Cubs beat Nats 8-2
WASHINGTON (AP) - Dominant early, Stephen Strasburg fell apart after one of Ryan Zimmerman's two errors and wound up dropping his fifth consecutive decision, an 8-2 loss Saturday to the Chicago Cubs, whose starting pitcher, Edwin Jackson, worked into the sixth inning and hit a two-run double for good measure.
Jackson (1-5) retired 12 of Washington's first 13 batters and allowed two runs and four hits in 5 1-3 innings. He earned his first win under a $52 million, four-year contract he signed after leaving Washington as a free agent, ended the Nationals' five-game winning streak.
Strasburg (1-5) set down Chicago's first 11 hitters, six via strikeout. But with two outs in the fifth, third baseman Zimmerman's off-target throw put a runner on. Turned out to be Strasburg's last inning, making for his shortest outing of 2013.
The NL All-Star's only win this season came April 1 on opening day against the lowly Miami Marlins, but he entered Saturday with a 3.45 ERA and was averaging 6 1-3 innings per start. This time, Strasburg needed 42 pitches in the fifth alone - and, to think, he actually got some defensive help before the problems arrived.
With one out in a scoreless game, Luis Valbuena laced a shot into the right-field corner for what should have been a stand-up double. Valbuena tried to stretch it into a triple and was thrown out at third, with right fielder Roger Bernadina hitting cutoff man Danny Espinosa, whose relay got there in time. Strasburg, backing up third base on the play, pumped his right fist to celebrate.
Moments later, his body language was rather negative, all slumped shoulders and bowed head.
The next batter, Welington Castillo, hit a grounder to Zimmerman, whose throw pulled first baseman Adam LaRoche off the bag (Zimmerman also made a fielding error in the seventh).
Strasburg followed with his first walk, to No. 8 hitter Darwin Barney, before serving up Jackson's two-out, full-count double to right-center that made it 2-0. That accounted for Jackson's first hit and RBIs of the season; he'd been 0 for 10.
Unraveling, Strasburg walked another batter and gave up Starlin Castro's single to load the bases. Anthony Rizzo grounded a single up the middle, the ball bounding into center to score two more runs. Instead of backing up home plate on the play, Strasburg ambled around on the infield grass and looked into the dugout.
All four runs were unearned, and Strasburg's ERA actually dipped to 3.10.
David DeJesus' two-run single was the highlight as Chicago scored four more in the sixth against reliever Zach Duke. Washington's lone lefty in the bullpen got only two outs and gave up four hits and a wild pitch. He also hit a batter.
Ian Desmond drove in both of Washington's runs off Jackson and had three hits - a homer, double and single - for the second game in a row. But it wasn't nearly enough to prevent Chicago from prolonging Strasburg's woes.
NOTES: In the eighth, Cubs 1B Rizzo made a juggling catch of Zimmerman's popup to shallow right, tumbling head-over-heels and barely avoiding a collision with a teammate. ... Before the game, the Nationals put RF Jayson Werth on the DL and recalled OF Eury Perez from Triple-A Syracuse. They also were without LF Bryce Harper (ingrown toenail) for a second straight game. ... Zimmerman has seven errors this season. ... Desmond's homer was his sixth. ... RHP Matt Garza, rehabbing in the minors from a strained back muscle, was scheduled to throw 65 to 70 pitches at Double-A Tennessee on Saturday night, Cubs manager Dale Sveum said. ... In Sunday's series finale, Nationals LHP Gio Gonzalez (3-2, 4.97 ERA) will start on six days' rest against Cubs RHP Scott Feldman (3-3, 2.70).
