It's a popular place in Baton Rouge, so it can get crowded, usually the typical older college crowd, yuppies, bros, drunk barbie queens, hipsters...everything you'd expect. It is a bar in a college town, so, there you have it. The patio is the better environment. The late night menu munchies selection is exceptional - get the loaded nachos! The beer selection has any and everything. Not sure about the tap count, but its substantial. Pet friendly.

I'm in this place pretty often. In Baton Rouge, it's the Bulldog or the Chimes for draft beer, and they are about the same in terms of quality and selection.
The atmosphere varies greatly. All the Bulldog locations I have been to seem to be the spot for middle-aged Bud Light or Abita drinkers; but being in Baton Rouge, you get a good number of college aged Bud Light Mich Ultra drinkers, and it can get very, very crowded and smokey on a busy night. It can get to the point that you can't taste your beer and have trouble seeing to the other end of the building. But on a slow night or if you go early enough it's a very enjoyable experience and the outside area with the tap fountain is nice and the decor inside, while cheap when you look at the detail, is nice as well.
Quality is OK. I wonder about cleanliness of lines but I haven't had any experiences that were too bad. Frozen glasses, but you can ask for a room temp glass, and they will offer one if you order a stout or porter. "Belgian style" glass will be offered if you order Delirium or something like that but they are smaller than a pint and not really the ideal style for said beers.
Service is pretty good for a bar like this and they are good at what they do. Rapid service, you don't get ignored and as long as you can find your way to the bar you will be helped in both a friendly and timely fashion. I have had issues with bartenders being too hasty and mishearing me and I watch them pour the wrong beer, but they can't really hear you to be corrected, so, it's not really their fault.
As mentioned in earlier reviews, there are a good number of macro lager imports that are always on and few rotating taps, but there are rotating Sam Adams, Brooklyn, Abita and St. Arnold seasonals and Select/Brewmaster's Reserve taps. Bottle selection is quite pricey but pretty good. Decent number of Belgians and imports as well as SN, Sam Adams, Mikkeller, Rogue, Unibroue and Anchor regulars and seasonals.
Food is typical bar food. Quality isn't anything to be concerned about but isn't fresh made stuff that you would rave about. If I'm feeling like a fat ass I'll get the Porter fries. Burgers are pretty good too.
Food is definitely overpriced, $10 w/ tax for cheese fries? No thank you. Beer is pricey as well especially the bottles.
I will continue to go to the Bulldog as long as Im stuck in Baton Rouge, and although it isn't great compared to other areas of the country it is tops for Baton Rouge.

I'm just impressed that Baton Rouge has a beer bar! Not as many rotating taps as I would like but each time I've been there the selection has been pretty solid. Glassware, well I hope you like everything in a pint glass (better value I suppose). Wednesday nights are pint night and it gets CRAZY busy!! Probably my favorite place to go out in Baton Rouge. The bottle selection is not impressive but made up for it in taps. There is a large outdoor seating area with a bad ass fountain which is really nice in Southern Louisiana spring time. I've only eaten there once but the food was fantastic!

The Bulldog is a decent beer bar for Baton Rouge, which isn't really saying a lot.
They've got 81 taps, but unfortunately they don't have near enough rotating taps, so if you go there often you're stuck picking from the same beers every time.
It's got a nice feel to it with the seating areas and outdoor patio and fountain, but it just gets way too crowded sometimes, which affects the service.
Don't expect to get proper glassware here and get used to having imperial stouts being served in frozen pint glasses. I really wish they would do a better job of educating the bartenders.
The food is pretty good pub fare, but food and drinks can get a little on the expensive side.
Not bad for Baton Rouge, but it's nothing special.

The Bulldog is fairly new in Baton Rouge. It happens to be very close to where I live -- walking distance with my dog; they encourage dogs to visit in their patio area. That makes it pretty cool at times, to have the pup around while drinking good beer.
The Chimes is the old standby here in town, with quite a good beerlist, so The Bulldog starts out with some good competition. But The Bulldog seems to have more beers on tap. And, the beers they pour are really good. It's easy to notice the qualitative difference in the beers at The Bulldog compared to other places around town. They claim they clean their lines regularly and use a blend of nitrogen and CO2. I can't atest to all of that, but I know that doppelbocks and IPAs and stouts really taste wonderful here.
I'm glad they've opened and I hope they'll stick around. It gets too smokey inside when there's a crowd. But it's also fairly easy to get there when it's a bit quieter and get a really good draft beer.
And, my dog is taking to the bar life. I'll keep going back (and bringing her with me)!

I have heard nothing but great things about this bar especially for students around college age. One of the main attractions to this bar is pint night which is every Wednesday night. If you buy a pint you get to keep the glassware that it comes with. This would be an awesome concept aside from the fact they absolutely murder with the prices of the beer. I bought a SA Octoberfest the other night for $8. I realize this is a bar but come on. I can buy 6 of that same thing for $7.99 from Walmart or Albertsons. It is always packed to the max and filled with tools. If you wear affliction this probably is your place.

The Bulldog in Baton Rouge is a worthy establishment. Being in Baton Rouge on business, and knowing about the reputation of the Bulldog in New Orleans, I stopped in to check out the place. I was well rewarded.
This place aims to be "a beer tavern that really [takes] draft beer seriously". With 81 taps, I'd say "YES". It's true that many, MANY of these taps deliver beer that is BMC or nothing all that special. But remember that this is Louisiana, and the Bulldog entertains a crowd with widely varying tastes and levels of sophistication. I'd say they deserve to be taken seriously, and they'll probably succeed admirably.
The Bulldog is located in a strip-mall shopping center not far from the LSU campus. The place looks newish from the outside, rather traditional and pub-like. On the inside it's large and rather dark (also pretty noisy). The bar seats 15-20, there are high, narrow-table stand-up or stool areas, and perhaps 25 tables. Food is available at a "Grub" window, and you go to the bar to get your drinks, British-style.
I sat at the bar, right where everybody came to get their pints, pitchers, etc. My server was efficient and knowledgeable, and the behind-the-bar staff all seemed likewise, very helpful and attuned to quick service. It was about 6 pm on a Thursday, and the place was pretty full. This Bulldog establishment only opened in early January 2009, so it looks like they're dong very well.
The selection - quite impressive. There were about 6 Belgian brews, including Delirium Tremens, Grimbergen dubbel (both of which I got tastes of), 2 lambics, Hoegaarden, and Stella. All 7 offerings from Abita were available, plus a wide array of German brews (several types of Spaten, Pauliner, Warsteiner). Also Carlsberg, Pilsner Urquell, and Kronenberg 1664 (French). Among the more commonly available brews were all of the Anheuser Busch offerings, Blue Moon, SNPA, 2 types of Redhook, Dos Equis, Harp, Guinness, Bass, Newcastle, Heineken, Amstel. There were 6 Flying Dog offerings, Anchor Steam and Anchor Liberty Ale, about 4 Rogue brews (including Dead Guy). There really was something for almost everybody, although the offerings for a hophead like me were limited. Prices were moderate, $4-6 for most, more for the high-test Belgians and rarer beers. Happy hour pricing 4-7 pm was 0.50 cents off for pints.
I didn't sample the food - it was too noisy and crowded (but there is a great Mediterranean/Lebanese restaurant in the same shopping center). The crowd in this place was all over - locals coming in for pitchers of Bud Lite and many people enjoying a great many different beers.
This establishment probably has a bright future. Overall it's a good place to visit, and even if you don't find your favorite or most exotic craft beer, there will be something you like. I was happy for a chance to sample the Anchor Liberty Ale on tap, and the Abita Jockomo was a good find as well - it was much better than the bottled version I have tried back home. This place really is doing what they aim to do, providing LOTS of draft beer to satisfy the many different tastes of this city and region.

WALTERS: California vote bolstered status quo
Published: Sunday, November 11, 2012 at 5:42 p.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, November 11, 2012 at 5:42 p.m.
The mood is so sour, in fact, that even when the state's politicians sponsor ballot measures, they seek to exploit it. One example: Ads for Gov. Jerry Brown's tax measure, Proposition 30, assured voters
In these and other respects
There are tactical reasons for that somewhat strange outcome. For instance, those in power had a lot of money to spend because they are those in power, while those who wanted change could muster only a fraction of their foes
The defeat of Proposition 31 was particularly odd.
Proposition 31, on its merits, was pretty thin gruel, far short of the major overhaul that a dysfunctional state government almost certainly needs to deal with the myriad issues facing this complex and fractious state.
It was the brainchild of a bipartisan array of political centrists called California Forward, many of whom had backed two previous reforms, a top-two primary system and independent redistricting. It spent millions of dollars of foundation money and a bequest from billionaire Nicolas Berggruen through a cross-pollinated group called Think Long California, to formulate a set of incremental reforms, mostly relating to the chronically out-of-balance state budget.
Predictably, those on the left and right disliked what became Proposition 31, the former seeing it as a de facto spending limit and the latter seeing it as a barrier to tax cuts. So it was apparent that the measure's sponsors would have to spend millions, or perhaps tens of millions, of dollars to make it happen.
There was not much of a campaign against Proposition 31 because its well-heeled Democratic and union opponents were preoccupied elsewhere. But there was virtually no campaign for it, which makes one wonder why those who wrote it bothered to spend millions to put it on the ballot.
It's doubtful that one-party rule in the Capitol, locking in the status quo, will materially improve that governance. But rejection of Proposition 31 means that much-needed structural reform

Danvers police arrested a 63-year-old Andover man staying at the on Route 1 early Monday morning for indecent exposure.
Police said the man, Charles Parry, of 6 Random Lane, Andover, was walking around the motel fully nude around 6 a.m. when a female manager spotted him entering the lobby.
The manager confronted Parry and he explained that he was locked out of his room, the woman told police. But just a few minutes later, she spotted Parry again in an upstairs hallway as she was bringing towels to another guest's room, police said.
This time, Parry was wearing a shirt, but no pants, according to reports.
Police Sgt. Robert Bettencourt said that's when the manager called police to report the incident. Bettencourt said officers arrived and spoke with Parry in his room, after which he was taken into custody and charged with indecent exposure.
"He [Parry] didn't deny it," Bettencourt said.
Parry was arraigned in Salem District Court on Tuesday.

Buying a DVD recorder is actually a rarity now. For TV, most people have moved on to DVRs. When it comes to storing personal memories, many use their phones or other digital recording devices and keep everything on their PCs. While consumer DVD recorders aren't used very often, they do serve several purposes. Depending on what you're looking to save or record, there are several considerations you should make before purchasing a DVD recorder. Let's take a look at each of these considerations and hopefully help decide the best device for you.
Every DVD recorder will use different DVD recordable formats. Most cover all of them but for whatever reason, some manufacturers have chosen not to support all of them. DVD recordable media comes in several flavors:
You can read about each type here. Again, the majority of of recorders will accept all formats be be sure before you buy the recorder or the disks you'll be using.
Internal Hard Drive
Many of today's players come with internal hard drive space. This can be used for capturing TV, VHS content or content from your digital recording devices and allowing you to make simple edits before burning a disk.
Whether you need hard drive space will be determined on your usage of your DVD recorder. If you know you'll want to capture several videos and edit them together before burning then you'll probably want to make sure the recorder you buy has several hundred gigabytes of space. As well, if you think you'll be capturing television programming the same rule applies. More than likely you'll want to record the entire show before burning and possibly even edit out the commercials. In this case, an internal hard drive is absolutely necessary.
TV Tuner
Several of today's DVD recorders come with built-in TV tuners. Usually, these are either ATSC (ClearQAM) or NTSC tuners. There's yet to be a DVD recorder made with a built in CableCARD tuner. While that doesn't preclude recording premium cable content, it's a more involved process.
If you intend to regularly record either standard-definition cable content or over-the-air (OTA) signals, buying a DVD recorder with a built-in tuner might be your best option. These devices typically also ship with a small hard drive to store the recorded shows to until burning. Many also simply burn each show you record directly to disk much like a VCR writes directly to the tape. Either way, buying a unit with a built-in tuner means that you won't have to connect another device to your recorder. You can simply run your cable or antenna wire directly to the unit and start programming your recordings.
DVD recorders have become relatively cheap at this point, of course, depending on the options you want. If you're looking for a device that will simply capture family memories quickly and easily, you should be able to find one for under $100. If recording TV is your goal, you may pay upwards of $250 to get all the bells and whistles such as a hard drive and TV tuner. This is one of those cases where while price can indicate more quality, as long as the player performs the task you're looking to accomplish, you can save money by not getting features you don't need.
While not many companies are still producing consumer DVD recorders, if you take your time you can find the recorder that will do the job you need completed at a decent price. Be sure and look for a recorder that will record in the format you want, has the features you need and will create disks playable in other players and you should be all set. The next step will be learning how to connect your new player to your TV or set-top-box!

President's Message
Pakistan is a party to hundreds of multilateral and bilateral treaties. If one accounts for the numerous resolutions of multilateral organizations, Pakistan's international obligations and commitments under treaties are exponentially greater-in effect Pakistan has over 10,000 treaty-based commitments. Pakistan has around 8000 Federal Statutes and over 1,50,000 legal practitioners dealing with these set of legislations.

Good Dog
I am not sure when Sage's birthday is but I reckon she was about 5 months old when I found her so we celebrate it on the 4th of July. She is zonked out on the floor at my feet as I type and I cannot imagine life without her.
Discouraging news
Good luck Kit and good shooting.
Follow Up
Yeah, some Obama people read my blog. They haven't reached out to me the way the GOP has, which is too bad as I'd be very happy to talk with them.
Which is pretty darn cool for a couple of reasons.
1. He stopped by my blog to leave a comment - I have averaged 4500 visits a year over 6 years - he averages 200,000 + a day. Very cool that he took the time to swing by my little place on the web.
2. It is a relief to hear that the GOP folks are reading his blog but it would warm the cockles of my heart to hear Senator McCain say someday "This morning I was reading InstaPundit and and ..." Obama folks, ehh, not so much...
In this day and age, if politicians are not paying attention to folks like Glenn Reynolds and the other voices of informed, educated and knowledgeable bloggers of all colors, creeds and backgrounds, (yes, even the lefties), we are in deep trouble.
I still don't know how he does it though and it has always amazed me - holding down a full time position as a law professor and leading the way in providing timely, insightful links and blow-by-blow commentary, day-in and day-out. It is pretty amazing and it is all I can do to keep up with his posts every day!
Thanks again Professor!
(side note - when do you think Google is going to add "Obama" and "bloggers" to their spell checking dictionary? sheesh.)
The Big Dog
Just wondering - you always mention that you hope (and recommend) that someone from the RNC or McCain's campaign reads your site and follows your links - do they? How about Obama's folks? Would be interesting (and uplifting) to know that someone was paying attention!!
I doubt if I will hear anything back but it would be interesting to know. His SiteMeter is accessible but it only shows the most recent 100 visitors out of the 200k - 300k he gets a day. Mine is easy, I get 12 a day. (Hi Mom!)
BTW, didn't get out to the range today as I had hoped (had the day off). Had lunch with the Bro in Centralia and was under the weather all afternoon, wondering if it was something I ate. Feeling much better now though - doing laundry and watching House, getting ready for tomorrow.

|Stephenson Smashes CAA 100 Back Record
COLLEGE PARK, Maryland – Junior Hannah Stephenson set a Colonial Athletic Association championship record with a time of 54.13 seconds in the 100 Backstroke to lead a contingent of 16 UNCW swimmers into Friday's championship session at the Eppley Recreation Center.
Stephenson, who also broke her own UNCW record in the event, topped the previous record of 54.35 set just last season with her NCAA B cut qualifying time.
Joining Stephenson with B cut times for UNCW were Valtteri Halonen (100 Butterfly, 100 Backstroke), Jenson Engen (100 Breaststroke) and Michael Baric (100 Backstroke).
In the 400 IM, Casie Boyle advanced to the finals with a time of 4:26.05, which is now fifth best on UNCW's records list.
Catherine Gargula's time of 54.67 was a career best for her and moved her into second all-time at UNCW in the 100 Butterfly.
The Seahawk men advanced three in the 100 Fly with Zach Sowers and Ned Tyler joining Valtteri Halonen. Sowers' time of 48.70 and Tyler's 49.19 rank them sixth and seventh, respectively.
Gabe Thran swam 1:38.64 and Alex Labonge posted a time of 1:39.25 in the 200 Freestyle to gain spots in the finals. Labonge's time was the third fastest in UNCW history.
Behind the effort of Jenson Engen in the 100 Breaststroke, UNCW landed three in the finals with Kathryn Ostrum and Christine Souther joining Engen in the finals. Ostrum touched the wall in a time of 1:02.87 and moved into third all-time while Souther is now fourth 1:02.96. Engen's time of 1:01.15 gives her the second fastest time at UNCW.
Daniel Dozier will be UNCW's lone representative in the men's 100 Breaststroke after swimming UNCW's eighth fastest time of 56.96.
In the 100 Backstroke, Chelsea Tomko swam 55.40, second all-time, advanced to the finals alongside Stephenson.
Michael Baric used the second fastest time in UNCW history (48.19) to advance. He'll be joined by Halonen and Eric Conrad, who swam the third fastest time, in the finals Friday.
Friday's finals session begins at 6 p.m. and can be watched on CAA.tv.

SANTA FE (AP) — Pojoaque Pueblo has proposed a gambling compact to the federal government that would lower the gambling age to 18 from 21 and allow the tribe to stop revenue sharing payments to the state.
Pojoaque also proposes serving alcohol in casino gambling areas, which is currently prohibited.
The Interior Department has asked Gov. Susana Martinez and Attorney General Gary King to comment on Pojoaque's proposals for casino gambling on tribal lands north of Santa Fe.
The pueblo's compact with the state expires in mid-2015.

On Wednesday, New Mexico senators and representatives traveled to Los Alamos to hold a public hearing on the Radioactive & Hazardous Materials Committee. Rep. Stephanie Garcia Richard (D-Los Alamos, Santa Fe, Sandoval and Rio Arriba) chaired the hearing that focused on recent developments at LANL and WIPP surrounding waste management, disposal and the impacts our current policies and practices have on New Mexico. "Since being elected to office, I have worked to bring other legislators to Los Alamos and LANL, to ensure one of our area's greatest resources is protected, said Garcia Richard. "Today's meeting was a critical one because safety issues around recent events at WIPP and the temporary loss of the nation's only functioning waste repository, highlight how important it is for the State to find additional ways to address these growing concerns.
Trails opened last year at TA-70 and TA-71 south of White Rock for recreational purposes may be closed if users continue to stray off of the official trails.
"We want people to use and enjoy these areas, but it's important to stay on the designated trails to protect wildlife, archaeological sites and other trail users," said Environmental Planner Dan Pava, chair of the Trails Working Group.
Designated trails are shown on 11 large kiosks at official trailheads and are patrolled regularly by rangers from Bandelier National Monument, who have full authority to issue tickets for use violations.

City Slang
Destroy This Place: Symphony of mayhem
Self-proclaimed as Detroit's least cool, and primed to rip it up at Blowout 15
Published: February 22, 2012
The members of Destroy This Place — guitarist and vocalist Ryan Allen, bassist Monday Busque, guitarist and vocalist John Nelson, and drummer Sean Sommer — are pissed at me. They're valiantly attempting to disguise it as humor, but they're irked.
The reason?
When we reviewed their debut album Resurrect the Mammoth, released on Bellyache Records in June last year, we referred to the band as "Ryan Allen's Destroy This Place." The band, Allen included, took exception. We were using Allen as a point of reference because he had some local (and a bit of national) success with Thunderbirds Are Now! and the Friendly Foes.
So let it be said DTP is very much a sum of its four equal parts. This band's a collaboration, a collection of skilled musicians and it includes two songwriters in Allen and Nelson.
Got it?
One thing the band can't be upset about is the praise we heaped upon the record. In fact, it's an album that, to these ears, has gotten better in the seven months since its release. Destroy This Place obviously digs Fugazi, and says as much, but the overt melodies combined with the attitude and aggression actually bring to mind Irish rockers Therapy? The band says that the agro-pop-rock that they produce is simply the sound that they make when they're all in a room together, au natural.
Some backstory: Allen and Sommer were playing together in the Friendly Foes while Nelson and Busque were indie rockers in New Grenada when the quartet met and immediately dug each other's tunes. It took a few years but, when those two bands began to wind down, and with friendships solid, a new project bloomed.
"When New Grenada and Cloud Car [the indie band Nelson formed when he was 19] were happening, and Thunderbirds too, the whole Detroit garage scene was happening," Nelson says. "We didn't fit in. Monday was in a band called the Trembling, and they didn't fit in. We were our own little scene."
"Thunderbirds opened for Von Bondies," adds Allen. "I just feel that, friendship-wise, that's where the divisions started. Nothing against those dudes, but they just weren't the type of people I wanted to be friends with. They wouldn't care about me anyway."
Allen says, though, that a connection with Nelson was instantaneous. "When I met John, I felt that here was a dude I wanted to pay attention to," he says. "When I met Monday, it was the same thing. This guy is super fun to watch play live, and the Trembling was a super fun band. Then I met Sean and it was the same. This motherfucker is an amazing drummer. I think the fact that we all like each other as people so much really helped the cause. I can't think of anything about these dudes that I don't like."
The dynamic of these four makes for a fascinating spectator sport as we sit in a Ferndale bar. Allen and Sommer are the talkers, and at one point, Allen's band mates have to stop him midway through an extended rant in which he was comparing his band to quality food items. Every time he thought of one ("Boar's Head meat"), he'd think of one that he considered to be more apt ("Havarti with dill"). In contrast, Nelson and Busque are a bit reserved, interjecting only when they've something to add. But that shouldn't be mistaken for apathy; both have a fire: It's in their eyes on stage and it comes out with the music.
"There's a chip on our shoulders, and there always has been," Nelson says. "That comes from people not taking us seriously or not understanding where we're coming from. I've always felt this underdog mentality. When we play shows, I want to be good every time. I don't want to phone it in, whether there are four people and the sound guy there, or a couple of hundred, nobody can deny that we put on a high-energy show."
"The one thing we came to an agreement on early is that we wanted it to be aggressive, in-your-face and we wanted it to be a band that you wouldn't want to play after," Allen adds. "Every time we play, that's the goal. If you're gonna play after us, you'd better fucking bring it because we definitely will. We're four proud guys, and sometimes that's mistaken for cockiness."
Sommer thinks that the band's name can sometimes be misleading. "People have described us as, rather than 'Destroy This Place,' 'Go into your living room and rearrange your furniture,'" he says. "That is just based on preconceptions of the band because of the name. If you see us though, we play louder and harder than everybody else."
Busque says that, out of all of that aggression, attitude, and desire to be great, came a great album. "It's a beautiful collaboration," the bassist says. "When we first got together, John and Ryan both had a collection of songs already written, then we had three or four songs that we wrote together. The new record will be more collaborative. We sound aggressive but there's a purpose to the aggression, and you can see that on the new record more. It was recorded in four days in Indiana. It was nice to remove ourselves from Detroit and focus solely on the record. It probably helped us move quickly through everything."

IT-telecom convergence driven by customers, competition and new technology models
DOWNERS GROVE, Ill., May 13, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Information technology (IT) channel companies are increasing their involvement in telecom by offering customers new services and expanding their engagement with partners, according to a study by CompTIA, the ICT Industry Trade Association, and Channel Partners, a leader in news and analysis for the telecommunications industry.
The IT VAR Telecom Services Trends study suggests several factors are responsible for IT channel firms' growing involvement in telecom.
"Cloud computing, new routes to market, increasing customer leverage and the adoption of managed services are all impacting the industry, forcing players to take a look at where they fit in the market and more importantly, with whom to partner and compete," said Carolyn April, director, industry analysis, CompTIA.
A majority of survey respondents (59 percent) believe a significant degree of IT-telecom convergence is happening. Another 34 percent see convergence to some degree.
The ongoing convergence of the information and communications sectors was a significant factor in CompTIA's acquisition this week of Tech America. (See "CompTIA Acquires TechAmerica" for details.) The acquisition unites complementary segments of information technology and communications (ICT) under one umbrella to enhance voice, reach and influence.
Telecom a 'Natural Fit'
Much of the zest among channel companies in exploring telecom is driven by customers' needs and preferences, as well as their own aim to win new business and grow revenue. They view telecom services as a competitive play and a way to differentiate their brand. Four in 10 companies cited the desire to add a new line of business and to win new business as their main reasons for entering the telecom market.
Among channel firms that resell, implement and manage traditional IT products and services, a majority consider telecom services to be a natural fit to their current portfolios. Topping the list of services and solutions they're offering directly to customers are conferencing and collaboration (video and audio), broadband, Wi-Fi access, and IP/PBX and WAN services.
Manpower, Skills, Competition Top List of Challenges
Entering the telecom market is not without its challenges for IT channel companies. Three of the top four challenges they identified relate to staffing and skills:
There's also concern about large telcos moving into traditional IT services, such as cloud computing, managed services and security. A net 68 percent of respondents cited this as a concern.
The IT VAR Telecom Services Trends study is the result of separate online surveys of executives at 200 U.S. IT channel firms and 47 telecom agents, carriers and cable firms. Surveys were conducted in January and February. The full report is available at no cost to CompTIA premier members. Visit www.comptia.org or contact firstname.lastname@example.com for details.

If you think saving account interest rates are too low, you may be looking for high interest savings accounts. These accounts are perfect for people who want to build an emergency fund or who want a safer place to put some of their money. High interest savings accounts are also a great place to save for a down payment on a house or for a new car.
1. Money Market Accounts
A money market savings account should not be confused with a money market fund. A money market savings account is insured by the FDIC and offers a higher interest rate than a traditional savings account. It generally has a higher minimum balance requirement and may limit the number of withdrawals that you can make a month. A money market fund is not guaranteed by the FDIC and is usually offered by a brokerage firm. If you want to set up a money amarket account, you can do it at your current bank or credit union.
2. Online Savings Accounts
Many online banks are able to offer a higher interest rate than a traditional bank or credit union. It is important to make sure that the bank is still guaranteed by the FDIC. You should check to make sure that each site is legitimate before you sign up for an account. Additionally, you should be prepared to allow a few days to transfer money to your traditional checking or savings account. You can transfer funds to our online savings account electronically, and easily monitor the account. An added benefit is that an online savings account can help defer impulse purchases, since it does take a few days to get the money.
3. Certificates of Deposit
Certificates of Deposit can offer a higher interest rate than a traditional savings account. However, you lock in the rate for a set amount of time. If interest rates go up, you will be stuck with a lower interest rate and you will lose accumulated interest if you withdraw the money early. However, this is a legitimate account to consider for an emergency fund or other short-term savings goals. You can open a CD at your bank or credit union. YOu may be able to find a higher rate at an online bank though.
4. Consider Investing Your Money
If you are interested in growing your wealth, you should consider investing your money. You should have an emergency fund of three to six months in a savings account. Additionally, you should save for your large purchases or sinking funds in a savings account. After you have reached those goals, you should consider investing the rest of your money in order to build wealth. If investing your money is overwhelming or scary to you, then you should speak to a financial advisor and learn about investments that feel safe to you. Mutual funds are a fairly safe way to begin investing. Mutual funds already spread the risk since they invest in several different stocks. You should look for a mutual fund that has been open for at least five years with a good track record.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: My doctor says that my testosterone levels are "normal". Do you think my low normal testosterone could be causing some of my health problems?
A: Yes. We have seen patients have low normal testosterone and benefit from testosterone therapies. Symptoms like low energy, low mood, "brain fog", difficulty with maintaining erections, and even premature ejaculation are all linked to lower testosterone levels. In fact, some studies show that higher testosterone and growth hormone levels decrease your risk of death for ALL causes.
Q: What does a "guaranteed visit" mean?
A: We guarantee that after your first visit you will be satisfied or we will refund your $99.
Q: How much does testosterone therapy cost?
A: Patients who qualify for testosterone therapy can expect to pay between $125 – $250 per month. This cost typically includes all necessary medications, comprehensive lab testing, and unlimited office visits. This cost is based on a one year commitment with credit approval by a third party. We have other more short-term trial options available as well. Please call (425) 455-1700 for a full review of our pricing and how our treatment programs work for you.
Q: How long does the first visit usually last?
A: Typically, the first visit lasts about 30 minutes to an hour. Depending on your particular concern, your visit length may vary. Certainly, if time is an issue we can always start with some treatments and then meet again later to discuss additional options when you have more time available.
Q: Do you use FDA approved medications?
A: Yes. We only use FDA approved medications. If commercially made medications are unavailable we may use a compounding pharmacy to provide your medication and only FDA approved components are used.

Ronnie Earle
Ronald Dale "Ronnie" Earle (born February 23, 1942) was, until January 2009, the District Attorney for Travis County, Texas. He became nationally known for filing charges against House majority leader Tom DeLay in September 2005 for conspiring to violate Texas' election law and/or to launder money. Earle has also prosecuted other politicians, including Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison and State Representative Mike Martin. On one occasion, he prosecuted himself for an election law violation after missing a campaign finance filing deadline by one day; he was fined $212.[1]

Early life[edit]
Earle was born in Fort Worth, Texas and raised on a cattle ranch in Birdville, Tarrant County. He achieved the rank of Eagle Scout, earned money working as a lifeguard, played football, and was president of his student council at Birdville High School, Haltom City, Texas.[citation needed] After graduating from the University of Texas School of Law in 1967, Earle served as a municipal judge in Austin from 1969 to 1972. Earle was elected to the Texas Legislature as a Democrat in 1972, serving until 1977. Earle was elected district attorney of Travis County in 1976.[citation needed]
Earle has been married to his second wife, Twila Hugley Earle, for nearly three decades. With his first wife, Barbara, he had two children: Elisabeth and Jason Earle. He also has one stepdaughter, Nikki Rowling, and two grandchildren.
Career as the District Attorney[edit]
|This section of a biography of a living person does not include any references or sources. (April 2010)
The Travis County District Attorney's office investigates and prosecutes crimes related to the operation of the Texas state government. Earle was elected as a Democrat in the city of Austin. He was, and his successor now is, the only Democrat with statewide prosecutorial authority.
In late 2007, Earle announced that he would not seek reelection to his post. His departure precipitated a race to fill his seat. Four Democrats, all employees of his office, ran for the seat. In the primary election held on March 4, 2008, no candidate received 50 percent of the vote. A runoff election was held between the top two finishers, and Rosemary Lehmberg – who Earle had endorsed – won handily. She faced no Republican opponent in the general election. She took office in January 2009 and is the first woman district attorney in Travis County history.[citation needed]
Investigations conducted by Earle[edit]
Investigation and indictment of Kay Bailey Hutchison[edit]
Earle filed charges against Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison, then Texas State Treasurer, for allegedly misusing state telephones and allegedly assaulting a staffer. Earle attempted to drop the charges on the first day in court — in fact, at the pre-trial hearing — after the judge in the case questioned the admissibility of his evidence. The judge refused to allow it, instructing the jury to return a "not guilty" verdict so the charge could not be brought against her again.[1]
Investigation and indictment of Tom DeLay[edit]
For over two years, Earle and eight separate grand juries investigated possible violations of Texas campaign finance law in the 2002 state legislative election. Earle denies that his pursuit of Delay was part of a "fishing expedition." His investigation of two political action committees that spent a combined $3.4 million on 22 Republican Texas House races focused on a political action committee founded by DeLay, (Texans for a Republican Majority PAC). During the investigation, DeLay charged that Earle was a "runaway district attorney" with "a long history of being vindictive and partisan".
On September 28, 2005, a grand jury indicted DeLay for conspiring to violate Texas state election law. Texas prohibits corporate contributions in state legislative races. The indictment charged that Texans for a Republican Majority, DeLay's PAC, accepted corporate contributions, laundered the money through the Republican National Committee, and directed it to favored Republican candidates in Texas. The presiding Democrat judge in the case, Pat Priest, eventually threw out this charge and the Court of Criminals Appeals upheld his decision in 2007.[2]
Earle's second attempt to secure indictments against DeLay failed. That grand jury returned a "no bill" due to insufficient evidence. The jury member questioned stated that Earle appeared visibly angry with the "no bill" decision.[3]
Earle eventually received an indictment against DeLay from a third Austin grand jury that had been seated for a few hours.[4] This indictment was on charges of conspiracy to launder money. DeLay's lawyers asserted the indictment was flawed legally, as laundered money is defined in the Texas Penal Code as money gained in the "proceeds of criminal activity". DeLay's defense stressed that corporate donations to political campaigns are a normal, legal business activity. Due to a House rule requiring a party leader to step down if indicted, the indictment compelled DeLay to resign as Majority Leader.[5]
In a counter complaint, DeLay's attorney, Dick DeGuerin, filed a motion against DA Earle, charging him with prosecutorial misconduct in the DeLay indictment. DeGuerin sought court permission to depose grand jurors.[6]
DeLay filed a motion for a change of venue from the Democrat stronghold of Travis County to Fort Bend County, where he resides. The motion was denied by Judge Pat Priest, and a trial date for October 2010 was set. On November 24, 2010, Delay was convicted of Money Laundering.[7] The conviction was overturned by the Third Court of Appeals for the State of Texas in September 2013. The court found that "there was no evidence that [the PAC] or RNSEC [the Republican National State Elections Committee] treated the corporate funds as anything but what they were, corporate funds with limited uses under campaign finance law."[8] In its opinion, the court decided that "...the evidence shows that the defendants were attempting to comply with the Election Code limitations on corporate contributions." The court not only overturned the verdict, but took the step of entering a full acquittal.[9]
Indictment of State Rep. Mike Martin[edit]
|This section of a biography of a living person does not include any references or sources. (April 2010)
On July 31, 1981 during the First Called Session of the Sixty-seventh Texas Legislature, Republican Representative Mike Martin, then of Longview, was shot in the left arm outside his trailer in Austin with 00-buckshot. Soon after the shooting, unidentified spokespeople from Earle's office released information to the Austin American Statesman that they felt Martin was telling inconsistent stories to the police. They claimed he first said he had no idea who did it; later he said it was a Satanic cult; in the end, he accused his political enemies.
Martin responded to the leaks by saying he was asked to give police all possibilities and said he had no idea why the district attorney's office would be saying such things. Earle personally made a public announcement that Martin was cooperating with police and that no one from his office was releasing information saying otherwise to The Statesman. Earle formed a grand jury to look into the shooting of Martin and invited him to attend without issuing a subpoena. Martin refused to appear by issuing a statement that he had already given officials all the information he knew. Gregg County District Attorney Rob Foster shortly arrested Martin on a three-year-old assault charge. The charge was immediately dismissed due to time limits and lack of evidence. Upon release, Martin appeared before reporters and accused Gregg County officials of using their offices to ruin him politically.
The day after his release on the assault charge, Martin voluntarily appeared before Earle's grand jury. At the time he didn't know that his first cousin, Charles Goff, had previously appeared before the grand jury and admitted he helped Martin stage the event to advance Martin's political career. He claimed Martin offered him a state job as payment, though Texas has strong nepotism laws forbidding the hiring of relatives. Goff had served prison time and had three outstanding felony warrants pending at the time of his testimony; however, the grand jury took his word over Martin's. After Martin's denial of Goff's accusations before the grand jury, Earle filed felony perjury charges against the freshman legislator. Martin pleaded not guilty and, a year later, worked out a plea bargain with Earle by admitting to misdemeanor perjury charges relating to the renting of a car around the time of the shooting. Martin resigned his House seat on April 22, 1982 and withdrew from the upcoming election. Martin filed several suits against Earle, Rob Foster, and his cousin, Charles Goff for civil rights violations. A federal judge dismissed the last case in June 1985 on grounds that prosecutors are immune from civil suits. Martin still claims he is innocent of Earle's charges.[citation needed]
LaCresha Murray case[edit]
In 1996, Earle indicted 11-year-old LaCresha Murray for capital murder involving two-year-old Jayla Belton - the youngest homicide prosecution in Texas history. Earle's evidence rested on an alleged confession by Murray, obtained by interrogation at a children's shelter in the absence of any attorney or family member. Murray's case provoked several public protests of Earle's office and at the Texas State Capitol from her detention in 1996 until her release in 1999, when the case was reviewed.[10]
Murray was again tried and convicted of intentional injury to a child, receiving a 25-year sentence. In 2001, the Texas 3rd Court of Appeals reversed and remanded her sentence after finding that her confession was illegally obtained. Furthermore, a liver tissue examination by a pathologist expert in the field showed that the injury was inflicted hours before and thus not by Murray; and clothes worn by the toddler had no blood traces that were inevitable given the injuries—indicating the clothes were changed after the toddler was beaten.[11] Faced with the evidence Earle eventually dropped all charges against Murray. In 2002, a suit was filed against the Travis County District Attorney's Office and a host of other individuals and various agencies. The lawsuit alleges that the Murray family has been victimized by malicious prosecution, defamation, mental anguish, libel and slander. Charges of racism are also raised in the suit, suggesting that the Murray family would have been treated differently had they been white. Murray's suit was dismissed; on November 28, 2005, the US Supreme Court refused to revive the lawsuit.[citation needed]
Maurice Pierce case[edit]
On December 6, 1991, four teenage girls were murdered inside a local yogurt shop in Austin. In 1999, Earle led the "Yogurt Shop Murders" case against suspect Maurice Pierce, leading to a grand jury indicting him on four counts of first degree murder.[12] Pierce was arrested along with Robert Springsteen IV, Michael Scott, and Forrest Welborn for the murders of four girls.
Springsteen and Scott eventually confessed to the crime. Springsteen was convicted and sentenced to death. Scott was convicted and sentenced to life in prison. Welborn was never indicted for the crime.
Pierce continually maintained his innocence up until his release, occurring three years after his arrest. The state could not use Springsteen's and Scott's confessions against Pierce, so, without a confession, and only circumstantial evidence to connect him to the yogurt shop, the state had to either try Pierce or release him. Earle released him and dropped all charges citing a lack of evidence. The case against Pierce remains open. On December 24, 2010, Pierce was shot dead by Austin police officers in an incident during which Pierce allegedly stabbed a police officer with the officer's knife.[13]
2010 Texas Elections[edit]
Immediately after Earle announced his retirement as District Attorney of Travis County in December 2007, he began being mentioned as a possible statewide candidate.[14] In the spring of 2009, Earle's name began being mentioned specifically in context with a race for either Texas Attorney General or Texas Governor.[15]
Earle has said he is considering a run for one of the two posts.[16] On June 30, 2009, an Internet draft movement, DraftRonnie.com, was launched to urge Earle to run for Texas governor. The Draft Ronnie website and draft movement ended in September 2009, when Democrat Hank Gilbert entered the race for Texas Governor. On December 18, 2009, Earle filed the necessary paperwork to run for Lieutenant Governor of Texas. He was defeated in the Democratic primary by Linda Chavez-Thompson, a union activist.[17] She, in turn, was defeated in the general election by the incumbent Republican David Dewhurst in November 2010.[18]

But he was just too mellow and too quiet, so after several trips to the vet and my persistence we finally got a diagnosis of Canine Ehrlichiosis, Brown Dog Tick Disease. He wasn't mellow; he was dying! He's still on medication and may be for life, but he now digs up the yard (his nose is constantly dirty) and plays fetch until I drop. And he eats as if he's part pig. That tail of his that never used to wag is now a weapon. It's more of a whip than a tail! My luckiest day ever was the day we found Barney. God bless the rescue groups that take care of these dogs until we find them.

The Story
Diana Goodman (Alice Ripley) is a modern American wife and mother who has struggled for well over a decade with bipolar disorder and delusions. As Diana's symptoms once again push to the forefront of the Goodmans' lives, the strain shows on her devoted husband Dan (Asa Somers) and her high-strung daughter Natalie (Emma Hunton), who is convinced that success in school is her ticket out of the family home. Only Diana's son (Curt Hansen) seems to take his mother's mental illness in stride, keeping up his teenage heartthrob swagger.
Unhappy with a regimen of drugs that leaves her feeling nothing, Diana leaves her current doctor to work with Doctor Madden (both played by Jeremy Kushnier), who Dan believes is a "rock star" of the mental health world. But Diana questions the treatment options offered by Doctor Madden as well.
As Natalie finds new hope (and new fears) for the future in her first boyfriend (Preston Sadleir), her parents struggle to keep the life they've built from falling apart under the strain of both an unstable present and a traumatic past.
The Production
Alice Ripley won a Tony Award for her Broadway portrayal of Diana Goodman, and she also got rave reviews here in Toronto. And certainly Ripley gives an incredible performance of a woman in danger of losing herself, but I thought Emma Hunton was a real stand-out as well. Hunton's solid voice, genuine humour, and rich character moments made Natalie both unique and familiar, and often drew the daughter's story to the forefront. There were excellent performances across the board however, and the entire cast should be commended.
Next to Normal is staged on multilevel platforms which leave the musicians in view and provide the framework for some multimedia screens and allow for much running up and down stairs (this is not really a musical with dance numbers). The set and lighting design work well, and fit the rock musical style of the songs.
In all, a night at Next to Normal is likely to be challenging, rewarding and darkly entertaining... much like an evening spent with some families must be.
A Few Additional Notes on the Subject Matter
In 2009 Marcia Purse, About.com's Guide to Bipolar Disorder, conducted an interview with Next to Normal's writer and lyricist Brian Yorkey about the inspiration, research and development of the show. In it, Yorkey states:
...even if our immediate families haven't experienced these exact issues, we've all struggled with a family dynamic that's...challenging. We recognize ourselves and our family members in the Goodmans. Some of the PR for the show says it's about "a family in crisis," and I always add, "But really, what family isn't?"
The interview offers insights which will be of interest to those who want to know more about how a major musical comes together, and how some people who are dealing with mental illness have responded to the show.
For those who are primarily interested in the mental health issues, it's worth noting that both the Canadian Psychological Association and the Family Association for Mental Health Everywhere (F.A.M.E.) had full page ads in the show program.

KEENE, N.H. — In a dingy meeting room with walls the color of day-old oatmeal, 40 people in plastic chairs formed a ragged circle. Sharing first names, they went around the room: teachers, students, nurses and at least three active-duty service members. They had come to hear about military buildups around the world, but what they really wanted to do was hash out their feelings about the Iraq war.
Fred wanted to know what to tell his 10th-grade grandson, who already worried that he would be sent to Iraq. Catherine questioned whether the high school students she counseled should believe the promises they heard from military recruiters. Army veteran Tom asked if conditions for the troops were as bad as he had heard.
