It appears that school vouchers are dead for this year as we head into the final week of the legislative session. That's a good thing. But the school voucher movement stalled for the wrong reasons.
Gov. Bill Haslam's voucher plan, developed by his education department task force, was focused on failing schools in poor neighborhoods and limited to 5,000. It was in danger of being amended to allow vouchers pretty much everywhere and middle-class parents would have been able to get them. Citing the likelihood of the program being amended away from the administration's careful structuring, Haslam pulled the bill for this year.
When the voucher plan comes back, and it will, we need to understand why it's a bad idea.
Here we go again. The lottery income comes disproportionately from low-income people buying tickets. The merit-based Hope Scholarships often go to the children of middle-class parents who could likely figure out how to handle their child's tuition. But the poor subsidize the more affluent.
If you allow vouchers everywhere, you are setting up a system where parents can take taxpayer-funded vouchers and subsidize the tuition they are paying at places like Battleground Academy, Webb, or Catholic High. The vouchers wouldn't cover the whole cost, just as the Hope scholarship doesn't cover all the cost of higher education, but it's a nice subsidy.
Meanwhile, where are the elite private schools located in poor neighborhoods, who would take poor kids with vouchers and turn them into scholars? If there aren't excellent schools, then why take the children and the taxpayer's money from the local school?
The inequities of geography and income are major flaws in the school voucher movement.
But aside from Haslam's fight with senators over the expansion, votes were beginning to melt away in the House for another reason. It finally occurred to the legislators that if you give parents in inner-city Memphis or Nashville a voucher, they may spend it at a Muslim school. They have so far been stumped: How do you allow tax money to flow to a Catholic school, yet keep it from going to a Muslim school?
The prospect of county school funds being diverted to subsidize expensive-private-school parents flies in the face of Haslam's initiatives to rescue failing schools, most of them in Memphis.
Haslam has taken control of the Memphis school system. He has been joined by Bill Gates and other well-to-do business people to spend money and try and raise standards. It has become obvious over the years that Memphis schools were not going to get better without drastic action.
The problem is that when you create programs, special schools, or change tenure requirements, it is hard to attack the problems in Memphis without affecting school systems across the state.
There is a proposal, still being debated at this writing, to set up a state board that can authorize charter schools. The board could override a local school board that has turned one down. It is true that school boards have been reluctant to authorize charter schools, and the state proposes an end-run around a local veto.
You have some control over your local school board and you can make your feelings known at a meeting or at the ballot box. You will have no say in a state board of people appointed by the governor and legislative leaders who can approve as many charter schools as they like.
What I have never understood is why a charter school can help children in a poor neighborhood better than the local school system. Why can't whatever special rules, programs, or methods used by a charter school simply be implemented in the local public school? Is there some secret magic that charter schools possess unknown to the rest of us?
Memphis and Nashville have big problems in their schools. Knox County has a wonderful school system with a couple of problem areas. Let the state take over in Memphis or Nashville if they must. But let's let Knox County runs its own business.

A civilisation is measured not by the rights it grants its majority but the privileges it allows its minorities.
Muslim community not only needs Mosques but also state funded Muslim schools for their bilingual children. They need to learn and be well versed in standard English to follow the national Curriculum and go for higher studies and research to serve humanity. They also need to learn and be well versed in Arabic, Urdu and other community languages to keep in touch with their cultural heritage and enjoy the beauty of their literature and poetry. A Muslim is a citizen of this tiny global village. He/she does not want to become notoriously monolingual Brit.
Muslim families are as entitled as any other religious group to schools that nurture their children's faith. Muslim pupils should be educated in Muslim schools because the current system is marginalising them. Teaching Muslim children in a Muslim school would remove the "problem of them being exposed" to values that conflict with Islamic faith. Muslim pupils are disadvantaged and marginalised in the city's state schools because the cultural heritage of the curriculum is "European and Christian".
A growing number of young Pakistanis feel they are 'second class citizens and will remain so. They are addressed as outsiders – as 'immigrant, Paki or Muslim' and increasingly shut out or discriminated against. The hardening of attitudes towards Muslims in British society is also having an effect.
I set up the first Muslim school in London in 1981 and now there are about
188 Muslim schools and only 12 are state funded. I would like to see each
and every Muslim child in a state funded Muslim school with bilingual Muslim teachers as role model. There is no place for a non-Muslim child or a
teacher in a Muslim school.
The demand for state funded Muslim schools is in accordance with the law of the land. Muslim community is not asking for any favour. Muslim community
pays all sorts of taxes and is less burden on social services.
Church leaders say it is no longer "appropriate" for them to run Sacred Heart RC Primary School which has just six Christian pupils. The school in Blackburn, Lancs, could be handed to the nearby Masjid-e-Tauheedul mosque.
There are hundreds of state and church schools where Muslim children are in
majority. In my opinion, all such schools may be opted out as Muslim
Academies. Bilingual Muslim children need bilingual Muslim teachers as role
models during their developmental periods. There is no place for a
non-Muslim child or a teacher in a Muslim school.

I asked this question on another topic/thread but it got off topic on that thread so I wanted to ask it here and dedicate a specific thread topic about how important is the reciever if the amp and pre/pro are doing all the powering of all the speakers?
I was told on here to just let the amp power all the speakers and let the reciever do the decoding of latest sound formats. But if I spent so much on a reciever to just let it decode the latest from Dolby True HD and DTS MA and let the amp power the speakers then is it safe to say I over spent on that reciever (Pioneer Elite SC-05) and could have gotten the samething from a $299 recievere that decodes all the latest sounds as well? What difference in sound and power would I get if the amp is doing all the work on all 7 speakers if the reciever isn't doing any of the powering? So the recievers role is to just decode if you have a good seperate amp and pre/pro?

A handful of teens were indicted this week after being within multiple area hamlets, including one on Shady Tree Lane in Port Jefferson.
Suffolk County Police announced on May 3 that they had arrested four individuals after pulling them over on Black Locust Avenue in Setauket. An indictment unsealed this week added a fifth teen - the twin brother of one defendant.
According to the office of District Attorney Thomas Spota, the Shady Tree Lane home was burglarized on April 19, the fourth of five homes to be broken into by the group - the last of four houses burglarized over an eight-day stretch. Two of the teens reportedly attempted to burglarize one more home in Selden in February.
Colleen Elam, 18, of Selden, was charged with four counts of second-degree burglary, a class C felony. According to the indictment, Elam was involved in a Setauket burglary on May 2, and burglaries in Port Jefferson and Miller Place on April 19, and another in Miller Place on April 11.
She pleaded not guilty and was released on $25,000 bond, according to court records. She is due back in court May 19.
Maurice Jones, 18, of Centereach, was charged with four counts of second-degree burglary, and reportedly was involved in the same four incidents as Elam.
Court records show Jones was arrested exactly one year before he was arrested on May 3. In 2011, he was charged with criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree for allegedly possessing a loaded firearm, other than a handgun.
He had been released on his own recognizance on Sept. 30, 2011 and had a court conference as recent as April 18 - the day before cops said he burglarized a Miller Place home. Jones pleaded not guilty and remains in custody, held on $100,000 cash bail or $200,000 bond. He is due back in court May 22.
Darnell Loften, 19, of Middle Island, was charged with five counts of second-degree burglary and one count of attempted burglary in the second degree, a class D felony. In addition to the four group burglaries, the District Attorney's Office accuses Loften of burglarizing a Centereach home on his own on April 13, and attempting to burglarize a Selden home on Feb. 21.
Loften remains in custody on $250,000 bond or $125,000 cash after pleading not guilty. He is due back in court on May 21.
Sion Sosa, 17, of Centereach, stands charged with one count of second-degree burglary, for his alleged involvement in the Setauket burglary.
Court records show that Sosa was arrested on Feb. 29 in a separate incident and stands charged with two counts of criminal possession of stolen property in the fourth degree, a class E felony. He had posted $15,000 bond on March 2, and according to the Suffolk County Sheriff's office he remains held in custody. His next court date is June 15.
Sosa's twin brother, James, is charged attempted burglary in the second degree, a class C felony. According to the District Attorney's Office, he acted with Loften when he attempted to burglarize a Selden home on Feb. 21. He is due back in court on June 13.

Psychiatric patient accused of attack at Elliot Hospital
Ornelas, 54, of 54 Lancaster Ave., was to be arraigned Friday in 9th Circuit District Court on one misdemeanor charge of simple assault.
"Although there was an altercation with this patient last evening in the emergency department, for the safety of staff and the patient, the Manchester Police Department took custody of him," Whitcher added in a three-sentence statement.
The hospital's waiting list reached its highest number ever on Sept. 3 with 49 adults and three children logged, Willgoose said.
Elliot Hospital recently began hiring Manchester police officers to occasionally supplement its security staff in the emergency room, Tessier said.
Bolduc retired from the New Hampshire State Police as a sergeant in 2011. He received an award in 2010 for saving a girl's life in Weare.

When you play the San Antonio Spurs, you have to pay attention to the guys who don't have the ball as much as you pay attention to the guys who do have the ball. Randy Foye doesn't seem to understand that. He keeps letting Danny Green get free, both from beyond the three-point line and by cutting backdoor.
Also, the Clippers might want to guard some of the shooters in transition. Kawhi Leonard had all century to shoot his last open three.

Here I present three methods which, when used consistently, will help you spend less time in the gym while getting better results at the same time.
Only applied knowledge is power, so don't just read, but apply!

Here I present three methods which, when used consistently, will help you spend less time in the gym while getting better results at the same time.
Only applied knowledge is power, so don't just read, but apply!
I know, I know, I've written about this a lot. But the subject is deserving of ongoing discussion. After all, periodization is frustrating- on the face of it, the premise is both compelling and logical. Dig a little deeper though, and the problems become evident.
To illustrate, I'm sharing a question that was recently sent to me from a trainer in Australia- I'll keep his identity private since it's not germane to the subject at hand:
Fundamentally, there are two ways you can approach physical activity. You can "exercise," which is the term normally used when your goal is oriented toward improving your appearance. "Exercisers" tend to view the terrain through the prism of energy balance: if the exerciser wants to be leaner, she'll restrict calories and increase energy expenditure, with the goal of a net calorie deficit.
Your mental climate during workouts is one of the most significant factors (if not the most significant factor) that will determine the level of success you'll experience from that workout. What follows are my favorite tricks and tactics for more productive gym sessions:
Considering the incredible and constant strain that it's subjected to, the elbow is a stoic joint indeed. The elbow is a ginglymus or hinge type joint formed by the humerus bone of the upper arm and the radius and ulna bones of the lower arm. Although only flexion and extension occur around the elbow itself, the joint also permits rotation of the radius around the ulna.
As my colleague Will Brink likes to say, "From Mentzer's 'one set to failure' to Poliquin's 'German volume training,' there is no program which recommends using progressively lighter weightloads from week to week." Brink is of course, alluding to the universal requirement of all successful strength and mass gaining programs: progressive overload.
"Injuries are not caused by methods per se, but by the inappropriate, premature, and/or excessive application of methods."
– Charles Staley
In all the years I've been involved in sports conditioning, I've never seen an issue with as much longevity and potential for heated debate as the question of whether or not it is necessary, safe, and or effective to perform "explosive" or "ballistic" movements in the weight room.
As each new year looms near, most of us feel energized with a sense of renewed possiblities for the new annual cycle. And while the energy generated from this optimism can be of enormous value, it's equally important that your overall plan is sound. Here then, are 7 questions that you can use as you inventory your progress in 2009, and also for engineering an even better plan for 2K10. These 7 questions were culled from my own training inventor for this past year, and I'm certain that you'll find them as valuable as I did.
Knee problems of varying descriptions are as common as five pound plates in gyms and health clubs throughout the world. Anyone who has recently experienced knee surgery will attest to their awareness of this fact, as they quickly begin to notice legions of zipper-like knee scars among their gymgoing peers.
* Paraphrased from Wikipedia:
Occam's razor (sometimes spelled Ockham's razor) is a principle attributed to the 14th-century English logician and Franciscan friar, William of Ockham. The principle states that the explanation of any phenomenon should make as few assumptions as possible, eliminating those that make no difference in the observable predictions of the explanatory hypothesis or theory. This is often paraphrased as "All other things being equal, the simplest solution is the best." In other words, when multiple competing theories are equal in other respects, the principle recommends selecting the theory that introduces the fewest assumptions and postulates the fewest entities. It is in this sense that Occam's razor is usually understood.
What's that? You're confused? Here's a little news-flash: I'm confused too! The only difference between you and I is:
I take action in the face of confusion, and you don't.

I have been taking my Beagle, Sheev, to Ouse Valley Vets St. Ives since 2011 and I could not be happier with the care my dog receives from the vet team. As an example, Sheev had to have surgery to remove several rapidly growning benign tumors, and due to the size, location and number of tumors as well as the age of my dog (he is 13!), the surgery was very risky. Both Evgeni and Chris walked me through every step pre- and post-surgery, and were very helpful at explaining the situation as it evolved.
Sheev experienced unforseen complications with the surgery which quickly became very, very expensive (at Sheev's age, he is not eligible for pet insurance). The practice put my dog's health and safety first, then worked with me to make sure I could pay the fees in a schedule that was comfortable to me. The practice did not have to extend this courtesy to me, but wanted to make sure that Sheev got the best care even if I struggled with the cost. Both Evgeni and Chris were with Sheev and I through all the many post-surgery complications...Chris even allowed me to call him on the weekend so that he could make sure Sheev was doing okay.
My dog is a member of my family and is both very cherished and loved - I would not hesitate to recommend anyone putting the health and care of their family pets in the hands of Ouse Valley Vets St. Ives.

I switched to the StIves practice when I had a chronically ill cat and was getting very poor care from my existing vets, which was making the trauma for me worse. However, switching vets was the best thing I ever did. Merlin got fantastic, professional care and when the awful end came, he got a very compassionate response - as did I.
I have since registered four animals here, and I simply cannot fault the care. Compared to many vets I have known, St. Ives really provide the best service. The reception staff are incredibly helpful and professional and the vets and nurses can not be faulted for their care. In summary, you are always treated as an individual and both you and your pet will appreciate this.

This Croation Beer (they have several others, but these are the most popular).. You can't find it any place but Croatia; maybe in Serbia or Solvenia. We are leaving in the morning going back to Germany so I"ll be off the air after tomorrow until I get back to the US.;)
Well, well what did find today at Publix but a plethora of fine beers all on sale. Using my wife's logic against her, how could I not buy it because it is on sale.:blabla:
Got one twelve pack of bottles that I know I love and one that I have not tried before.
Blue Moon is brewed in Golden, CO is marketed as Belgian White just like the Hoegaarden. In my opinion they taste nothing alike. This may be wheat beer those that did not like the Hoegaarden could enjoy. It is a good lighter tasting and refreshing beer for hotter weather. I really don't see myself drinking any wheat beer in the cooler/colder times of year. It just doesn't feel right to me for some reason. Another plus, is the cost compared to Hoegaarden which is $9-11 a six pack. This twelve pack of bottles was on sale for $12.36 normally $14.99 granted Publix is higher when things are not on sale.
Now for a professional review:
Blue Moon Belgian White - Craft Beer Reviews and Pictures
Written by Team
Yes, I know this is one of Americas trendiest craft beers you know, with the slice of orange hanging onto to the side of the glass. Actually that orange is supposed to accentuate the flavor of this beer because orange peel is one of its unique ingredients. Anyway, I dont care what anybody says, this beer is damn good! I enjoy this brew a bit more than I should and love to use this one to accompany my greasy wings when I am out for happy hour. This is a simple wheat beer that boasts great flavor and hits the palate well during many joyous occasions. Am I telling you to pick up a twelver of this stuff today? well of course!
At first pour, this cloudy straw colored wheat beer makes me lick my chops every time I watch that thick white 2 finger head expand to the rim of the glass. Oh, the beauty of a wheat beer! Now, it is OK to salivate over your chunk of orange, I do, however, do not throw that sucker in the brew until you have gotten a real taste of the beer itself. Then after a swig or two do what you wish with that hunk of vitamin C. The smell of this brew is of citrus and wheat. The taste is much of the same, orange and citrus come to mind with a great wheat flavor that mixes and follows well. The beer is smooth with a common wheat-like fullness on your palate. In addition, the carbonation bites gently on the tongue and remnants of hops remain faintly between sips. The drinkability is above average for this wheat beer. They seem to just keep sliding down. Maybe I am just dehydrated all the time or not.
I dont know what it is about this stuff?!?!? Maybe Im caught up in the hype but Ill tell you what, Coors has done a great job with this brew. They taste even better when you drink em right after you get done with the Coors brewery tour! Thanks again Cigs By the way, I know this brews packaging claims it is made at the Blue Moon Brewing Co. Not true, it is actually made at Coors, Molson-Coors, Miller-Coors, whatever it is these days. They use the Blue Moon Brewing Co as a marketing ploy to keep people thinking they are drinking a true craft beer.
I love Blue Moon.....and almost always with the orange slice. :thumb:
Time to up the ante folks:
BEER! I'll tell you why it's awesome!: Kasteel Tripel
I have a new favorite. At $16 a four pack it will be for only special occasions too.
We were given a case of this.

It actually tastes ok. :D
Does anyone make their own beer on a regular basis?
"Well you see, Norm, it's like this . . . A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members.
In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Now, as we know, excessive intake of alcohol kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine.
And that, Norm, is why you always feel smarter after a few beers."
had these for supper i mean with supper last night they went well with the ribeyes
a full body with a nice head
a little thin but with a smooth finish
My grocery store manager son in law just brought me something called "A Little Sumpin" SP is correct. It is 18% by volume and still considered a beer. A 6 pack would kill me.....was pretty good too.
Car 4:D
strong beer flavor which went well with spicy food. the only thing was it had marital head that is to say that it had almost no head
i tried the bud light platinum. well it is 6% and almost tasted like beer

Reviews for the new beers to follow.
I have found my Beer Mecca. If you are in AL, or even driving through this place is worth the stop:
Wine store and gift baskets - Birmingham, AL - City Vineyard
Vineyard you say? More than just wine and Champagne, trust me. They have a whole back room with all sorts of great beers from all over the place. With the new legislation in AL that selection is sure to expand too. The best part is they sell 1/2 Gallon Growlers that you can take home and reuse. The selections on tap are always changing, but updated on the page above. Plenty of live music in the evenings, but not your typical drunkfest. For my first Growler I selected a local brew, Avondale Vanilla Porter or as it is officially known Vanillaphant Porter. This link will tell you why: Avondale Brewing Company | Our Brews | Vanillaphant Porter.
The Growler and the porter poured up on my counter after the day's bout with ChrisFit.
If you are thinking heavy, you would be wrong. For such a dark porter it is lighter than you would expect. Almost tastes like a vanilla coffee, but mans up with a hint of hops and a very smooth finish. The official rating is below:
Avondale Vanillaphant Porter
Whiskey Barrel-Aged Vanillaphant Porter - Avondale Brewing Company - Birmingham, AL - BeerAdvocate
served on-tap into a pint glass @ Suds of the South beerfest
*This is Avondale's already-existing Vanilla Porter (that doesn't have a Beer Advocate listing for some reason) that has been aged in Jack Daniels barrels. This might be a festival-only beer for Avondale or they might make more of it. They should make more it.*
Pours a pretty dark brown. It's close to black, but more of a dark cola kind of color. Maybe one finger of head the color of lion's pelt, but I don't expect a lot of head from barrel-aged beers.
This beer smells and tastes like Southern Tier Creme Brulee would if Creme Brulee weren't a garish cartoon of a beer. Make no mistake, this is a sweet dessert beer. But it still tastes like a beer. There's a base porter here that's mostly brown malts and a touch of chocolate. That base porter has vanilla also, but it isn't a synthetic, chemical vanilla (like in beers such as Breckenridge Vanilla Porter). What the barrel does, as you might have guessed, is to heighten and enhance that vanilla flavor/aroma. Vanilla is a common characteristic of barrel aging, so the whole enterprise becomes real sweet real fast. The finish is literally reminiscent of ice cream.
Silky mouthfeel. Lowish carbonation but that's not much of a concern considering that silkiness and how it plays well with the sweet flavors.
But, again unlike Southern Tier Creme Brulee or similar vanilla-forward dessert beers, Avondale still has a beer here. There's maltiness that doesn't crumble in the face of vanilla adversity. It's a beer that works. I just wouldn't want to have that much of it at a single time.
Serving type: on-tap

I will say this about this porter. If you are weary of dark beers, this is a good one to ease you into them. Ladies I'm looking at you.
Five-0, I may need to go the extra distance to try that one. It sounds fantastic.
One of my favorites is Four Peaks Brewery Kiltlifter Scottish Ale!
From their website:
It's time for another installment of "What The Hell Am I Tasting".* This time it's our flagship beer, Kilt Lifter.* And, again, in the spirit of not completely demystifying the beer we're going to keep it simple and touch on the obvious aroma and flavor high points.* You really can overanalyze things to the point of not enjoying them, "worts" and all.* Sometimes, we too, just like to have a beer.First, a style note.* Kilt Lifter is technically a Scottish-Style Ale and specifically a Scottish-style Export Ale.* The style is marked by a distinct malty sweetness with some burnt or smoky flavors with a strong but not lip-numbing alcohol content of around 6%.* The high malt content is due to the abundance of barley in Scotland but also in part to a high tax rate on hops, which were not so prevalent in the north but abundant in England.* And if it comes from England it will be taxed.* The Scottish said, "Fine, we'll do it our way", as they are genetically pre-disposed to do, and there you have it, Scottish-Style Ale.See it. Kilt Lifter has a beautiful dark copper, almost bronze color which comes not just from the addition of caramel malt (which gives more redness) but also the use of a small amount of roasted barley.* At this low level you get hints of brown, at high levels you get porter and eventually stout inkiness.* Again, the beer should be brilliantly clear (bright, in brewer's parlance).* Also notice the foam (if there is no foam on your beer please have the bartender either re-pour it or top it off.* Beer must have a head).* It should be an eggshell, off-white color and consist of tight, tiny bubbles.Sniff it. A quick note on smelling, most of what we perceive as flavor is actually derived from our olfactory bulb in our sinus.* On the one hand, we can actually only perceive four tastes on our tongue; sweet, sour, bitter, and salty (some say there is a fifth flavor; umami (savory), including us). On the other hand, the nose can perceive thousands of compounds. Doubt it?* Hold your nose then drink a beer, or better yet, hold an onion under your nose and eat an apple, you'll swear you're eating an onion.* The nose is so effective that it even works in reverse.* After we swallow we often breathe out through our nose and, subsequently, over our olfactory bulb, gaining more insight into favor.* A good example is that burps don't have any flavor, yet, to us, they do.The first impression should be of lightly toasted malt.* There are no late additions of hops in Kilt Lifter, stylistically hop aroma should be minimal to none at all.* This is a good beer to show malt's distinct aroma. *It's grainy and toasty and a little sweet, not unlike fresh bread.* If you're curious as to malt's aroma you can buy malt powder in the store.* You will get a little burnt toast aroma from the roasted barley as well.* Roasted barley is just that; it's barley that has been put into a drum roaster and cooked at 500 degrees until a rich, black color is achieved.* If you're thinking that this sounds a lot like coffee then you get a gold star; same process, same chemical reactions, and, not surprisingly, some of the same flavors.* Next, we get fruit, specifically apricots or dried apricots.* This is an ester that is unique to our proprietary strain of ale yeast and you'll get this aroma in all of our more malty beers.* Fruity aromas are really a signature of ales that you won't find in most lagers.* Remember, there are thousands of aromatic compounds in beer, these are just the obvious ones in this beer.Sip it. Actually, take a good pull (we just needed an "s" word for continuity), nobody sips beer, it's meant to be taken by the mouthful.* Notice the same flavors that we anticipated from our nose; toasty, malty, a little sweet, some light coffee or tea and maybe some smoky burnt flavors.* You'll also notice the bitterness is there but not overpowering. *Remember, good ales are always balanced.* You may also notice some heat once you swallow.* That's the alcohol which has a distinct flavor but in most beers it's perceived in a tactile way.* That is, as heat or as body (higher alcohol contents will give greater mouthfeel).* You should notice, as well, the carbonation which lends some acidity.
Repeat.* Repeat.* Re-order.
I prefer stouts, so I won't be much use to the majority of you guys, but I'll review a few of my favorites.
#1 - North Coast Old Rasputin Imperial Stout
I literally get mad when I can't find this beer at the local Publix. It is my absolute favorite when it comes to beer. If I could buy it by the keg I would not hesitate for a second.
First off, the bottle is awesome because it has 'ol evil mystic himself, Rasputin on the label. It just gets better from there.
This is the darkest beer I have ever personally seen ( and I won't drink a beer unless it is a redhead or darker ). It is as black as night, with a brown head that takes a while to come down. It has a starting flavor of coffee, burnt wood, caramel, chocolate. The mouthfeel is heavy, yet smooth at the same time. It is very pleasant to drink. There is a mild bitter aftertaste, but if you're used to dark beers, it's mild.
It's probably too pleasant to drink, since the 9% ABV will quickly sneak up on you. Needless to say, if I go out to our favorite restaurant and drink a few of these, my wife is going to be driving home.
Not too heavy on the pocketbook either, only $9 for 4 12oz bottles at this time.
All in all, a great sipping and relaxing beer. Goes GREAT with a steak or ribs.
#2 Spaten Optimator
This Doppelbock is my second choice at my favorite restaurant when they're out of Ol' Raspy.
A little more on the mild side than the stouts that I'm used to. This beer is more sweet, very bready/grainy at the start with a bit of spice and hops at the finish. Very drinkable, with a medium body and smooth mouthfeel. It's actually closer to light than medium. Very approachable for most people not used to "real" beers. The head on this when you pour it improperly is crazy, and you'll have half a glass of suds if you aren't careful.
At 7.6 ABV, it's got a decent kick as well. I can usually find this at my local Publix.
I like to drink this beer when grilling burgers or chicken. Great "real" beer for a summer cookout. Not near as heavy as you'd think it'd be.
#3 Ommegang Three Philosphers
This is a Quadrupel, and is a very, very complex brew.
Out of the 3 beers that I've reviewed so far, it's the lightest complexion, but don't let that fool you. It's the one with the highest ABV, with a whopping 9.8.
This beer SMELLS amazing, with hints of chocolate, cherries, and caramel. When I get it, it's usually served to me in a wine glass, and I enjoy the aroma in the same way.
The taste is very complex. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with a good amount of carbonation. You taste different fruits in the mix, with cherries being dominant. I always get a good hint of bananas, raisins, toffee, and sometimes cloves. This beer does not hide it's alcohol well like the previous two that I reviewed, but it does not take away from the experience. This beer is pleasant to drink, and is best enjoyed by sipping it after a good hearty meal.
It isn't cheap. The lowest I've found it for is around $8.50 a bottle, but it is well worth it. This beer is better compared to a fine wine than any other beer.

RoVerGeNe: A tool for the Robust Verification of Gene Networks
Grégory Batt and Calin Belta
Center for BioDynamics
Center for Information and Systems Engineering
Boston University
Rovergene is a tool for the analysis of genetic regulatory networks under parameter uncertainty.
Genetic regulatory networks are described by a class of piecewise multiaffine differential equation models, dynamical properties are expressed in linear temporal logic and uncertain parameters are specified by intervals.
The tool addresses two problems:
Rovergene can be used for the analysis of the robustness of dynamical properties of gene networks with respect to parameter variations and for the tuning of synthetic gene networks.
Rovergene is an implementation of the approach presented in:
Implementation and installation notes:
Rovergene is written in Matlab and uses the toolbox MPT for polyhedral operations, the library matlabBGL for graph operations and the CTL/LTL model checker NuSMV. Rovergene has been developed with Matlab 7.0.1, NuSMV 2.2.4 and Cygwin 184.108.40.206-4. Note that it may not work with previous versions of these tools. It works on Linux and Windows operating systems.
For Linux systems, NuSMV must be installed and the path sets such that NuSMV can be called from the working directory. MPT and matlabBGL are thirdparty packages send with the distribution. Finally, we assume that the folder rovergene_folder/exports is writable. For Windows, in addition to the above requirements, Cygwin must be installed, since NuSMV runs on top of Cygwin. Note that Matlab should then be started from Cygwin, in order that system calls work properly.
Download (latest version 3.0)
Download Rovergene (tgz, zip). If you need any help, please feel free to contact us by email (contact: {batt,email@example.com).
Using the tool:
We illustrate the use of the tool by means of the two-gene network represented below. Note that we assume here a familiarity with the concepts and notations presented in the above-mentioned technical report.
The network is represented by the following pair of piecewise multiaffine differential equations. Note that the production rate parameter of gene a, κa, is an uncertain parameter.
An expected property of this cross-inhibition network is that the protein concentrations can not remain both high nor both low. This property can be expressed in temporal logic by the following formula
When running Rovergene, the user should specify the type of analysis (0 for robustness analysis or 1 for parameter constraint synthesis) and the name of the model file. The models are described in text files that are assumed to be stored as rovergene_folder/models/model_name.txt. A typical execution is represented here with some comments. For robustness analysis, the result of the analysis is a message saying that the property is satisfied by all parameters in the set or that no conclusions were obtained. For parameter constraint synthesis, the (possibly empty) list of polytopes corresponding to valid sets is displayed (see here again).
Model specifications:
Models are given as text files. The model corresponding to the two gene network is given here. They consists in three parts: description of the state space (number of variable, and for each variable, values that define the partition), description of the differential equations of the variables (specification of production and degradation functions), and description of the dynamical properties (atomic propositions and LTL formula).
In the following, the values that define the partition in the direction of the ith variable xi are called λij. To facilitate parsing, the regulation functions should be given using a prefix notation (ie "+ 2 2" instead of "2 + 2"). The terms are the constant 1, the binary operator * for multiplication ("* a b" means "a*b"), the unary operator - for negation ("- a" means "1-a") and the ternary operator r used for representing ramp functions. More specifically, with i a variable index, k an array of λ-indices and y an array of reals comprised between 0 and 1, the term r i k y represents the ramp function having xi as a variable and evaluating to yj at point λij, for all j in k. For example, one can check that "r 1 [1 4 5 6] [0 0 1 1]" represents r+(xa,θa3,θa4). Atomic propositions corresponding to xi > λij or xi < λij are represented as {i '>' j} or {i '<' j}. The LTL formula is expressed using the NuSMV syntax and using prop1, prop2, etc. for atomic propositions. Finally the flag "compute liveness of SCCs" should be set to 1 for a correct evaluation of the liveness properties. In special cases, notably in absence of feedback loops, tighter results may be obtained by turning this flag off.
Application to the tuning and robustness analysis of a synthetic transcriptional cascade:We have studied the synthetic transcriptional cascade built by Hooshangi et al. (PNAS, 2005). You can download the models corresponding to our analysis of the possibilities to tune the system in which three parameter vary in large intervals, or corresponding to our analyses of the robustness of a modified (i.e. tuned) version of the network, where all uncertain parameters range in intervals corresponding to variations of ±10% or ±20% with respect to their reference values.
We would like to thank Michal Kvasnica (ETHZ, Switzerland) for his help in solving compatibility issues between MPT and Matlab.

The conservative 'powers that be' in Grand Rapids have decided to challenge the will of the people and attempt to defeat democracy once again. They hate democracy so much they are willing to sue, spending taxpayer dollars, if they can't get their way in court.
So lets get this straight. This was an example of the people making a difference in their community, having a say in how their money is spent and what we deem to be priorities from a law enforcement perspective. Enough signatures were gathered and it was voted on. 58% of people in Grand Rapids voted for this law and now Devos' henchmen want to use the people's own money to sue the people for proposing such a law!!!
It's pretty clear who hates freedom and democracy in this country and with all their attempts to deflect their own hatred of freedom by bringing up the constitution and scary words like 'socialism' this is, again, a case of actions speaking louder than rhetoric.
Screw this lil Miss Mish and her boss Bill Forsyth (one of Devos' henchmen) and their attempt to squash democracy in the name of purity and conservative values. This is the exact reason Grand Rapids will never become more than it is. It's destined to be a small town stuck in neutral run by little puppets with a select few pulling the strings behind the scenes. I guess for some people that's OK, they enjoy their little town and the lack of outside influences. Choosing a bubble over reality seems to be a strong conservative trait.

Updated 4:25 p.m. The seven passengers are associated with Liberty Foundation and are not local residents, officials said in a news conference. Check back later for a full article on the news conference.
Updated 4 p.m. Rush-Copley Medical Center spokeswoman Courtney Satlak said the person transported from the scene had been treated at the Aurora hospital and released. All seven people aboard were unharmed in the emergency landing, but one person did receive a minor head injury exiting the aircraft, police said.
Updated 2:50 p.m. Officials from the National Transportation Safety Board will hold a press conference at the scene of the emergency landing at 4 p.m. Monday.
Updated 1:30 p.m. At a second small news conference, Kendall County Sheriff's Office Deputy Craig French said the National Transportation Safety Board officials had arrived on the scene and were joining the Federal Aviation Administration in investigating the emergency landing.
French said someone aboard the plane saw a fire in an engine about five minutes after it took off and the pilot successfully executed an emergency landing. French did not release the names, ages or hometowns of those aboard the plane.
Updated 1 p.m. Roger VanEtten of Oswego said he toured the Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress named Liberty Belle on Sunday when it was on display at the Aurora Municipal Airport. He said he did not see the plane make its emergency landing, but said he heard it overhead on Monday morning. He described it as a beautiful plane.
VanEtten and Mike Gossett of Boulder Hill tromped through the farmer's field to get a closer look at the wreckage Monday morning. He said you could still read the "Miss Liberty Belle" insignia on the fuselage, but the section of plane between the back of the cockpit and the tail was "just gone."
Frank Corney of Oswego said he saw the plane flying on Monday morning, with a smaller plane flying next to it. He said the B-17 made a hard bank to the right, and flew very low over his house.
David DeVos of Oswego heard the bomber flying overhead, and said it sounded to him like a single-engine plane. He said he knows what a B-17 sounds like, having been an airplane mechanic for 20 years. When he saw the helicopters overhead, he said, he knew something big had happened.
The Liberty Foundation offered flights of the restored aircraft Saturday and Sunday at Aurora Municipal Airport in Sugar Grove, according to the foundation's website. The organization was going to offer a similar program this weekend at Indianapolis Regional Airport in Greenfield, IN, according to its website.
Updated 12:25 p.m. Eyewitness John Paravola reported seeing the plane just after takeoff. He said he was driving on Wolf's Crossing Road when he saw the plane lose half its altitude just after taking off.
"[The pilot] banked hard right and you could tell something was wrong," Paravola said. "His wings almost went vertical and I saw him put out his landing gear. ... He looked like he was headed back to the airport."
Paravola, who lives on Tomahawk Trail, said his house is about 300 yards from the crash site. He said he tried to return to his house but by the time he got back to Minkler Road and Route 71 police had it closed off.
He said neighbors had called him to report the plane had just missed his home.
Updated 11:45 a.m. Kendall County Sheriff's Office Public Information Officer Craig French said the plane did not crash but made an emergency landing in a field about 1,150 yards off Minkler Road. All seven people aboard were unharmed in the emergency landing, but one person did receive a minor head injury exiting the aircraft. The injured person, who was not the plane's pilot, was taken to Rush-Copley Medical Center in Aurora.
French said the plane was en route to Indianapolis when a passenger noticed one of the engines on fire. French said as of 11:25 a.m. the plane was still on fire.
Updated 11:15 a.m. Deerpath Creek resident Brenda Zych said she was in her back yard cleaning her grill this morning when the plane flew over her house very low to the ground.
"It was lower than any plane has ever flown over our house before," she said. "It was close enough that you could make out the details of the plane."
Original post
A vintage B-17 bomber caught fire in the air and made an emergency landing in a field near Minkler Road and Route 71 in Oswego Monday morning, officials said.
No one was injured in the blaze, according to Sugar Grove Fire Chief Marty Kunkel. The plane took off from the Aurora Municipal Airport in Sugar Grove around 9:30 a.m., Kunkel said, and soon after reported to the tower that there was a fire on board.
"They tried to come back to the airport but they ended up putting the plane down in a farm field," Kunkel said.
Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Elizabeth Isham Cory said there were seven people on board the aircraft, and all escaped unharmed. The plane, a World War II bomber, was manufactured in 1944, Cory said.
The FAA is investigating the landing, and no cause has been determined. Cory said an investigation may take several weeks to complete.
Police and fire crews from Oswego and Sugar Grove remained on the scene. More information will be posted as it develops.

Lockport Union-Sun & Journal — Construction will begin next week on the Town of Lockport's long-awaited and much-delayed Walmart Supercenter.
That's according to the DiMarco Group, the general contractor of the project. Representatives of the Rochester-based firm met Friday with various community and business leaders for an informational meeting concerning upcoming construction of the supercenter. The meeting was hosted by the Lockport Business Association.
The work will begin with the removal of a giant concrete pad and the erection of a sound barrier. Construction will continue through the winter and is expected to be complete by the end of August, 2014.
Rick Diamond, project executive for DiMarco, said he doesn't believe Transit Road businesses will see a huge impact because of the construction. There will be some hiccups – as some access points will be blocked off at points – but those affected will be notified well in advance.
Construction will also include doing some work on the parcels around the Walmart site, such as Bon Ton and the businesses in front, such as Denny's or Wendy's.
"Those are minor improvements," Diamond said. "There's some work we have to do out there."
The construction entrance will be on Shimer Road. When complete, Walmart will have two entrances, Shimer and the main one on South Transit Road.
A Walmart Supercenter been a long time coming for the Town of Lockport. The project was first proposed in the late 1990s.
Walmart first received planning board approval in 2007 and bought the former Lockport Mall site on South Transit Road in December 2010. The retailer bought the South Transit property for $3.95 million from General Growth Properties of Chicago.
Walmart has been held up by a number of legal challenges, the last one was turned away in October, 2012. And then those infamous seagulls got involved, nesting on the site from March until August for the last two years, causing another delay. Because the seagulls are federally protected, Walmart couldn't move forward until they were safely removed from the site or discouraged from nesting there.

Sony okays mind control project
In a move that may or may not have anything to do with the potentially disastrous Dualshock court ruling, Sony has been granted a patent to examine the potential of beaming sensory information straight into the brain. The US patent was granted to Sony researcher Thomas Dawson and covers a technology which could one day send sounds, sights, smells and tastes directly into people's grey matter. Ultrasonic pulses are aimed at specific areas of the brain which induces the sensory feelings. "The pulsed ultrasonic signal alters the neural timing in the cortex," the patent states. "No invasive surgery is needed to assist a person, such as a blind person, to view live and/or recorded images or hear sounds."
Apparently the technology has been deemed 'plausible' by those who have the faintest idea how it may actually work. Sony has yet to conduct any experiments and the patent was requested in case this line of development could one day become viable. The possibilities for the deaf or blind are obvious, as is the potential for fantastically immersive a rich gameplay experiences.
Just don't expect it to be a launch peripheral for the PS3.
