Favorite restaurants to suggest for our leaf-peeping tour along the St. Croix and Missippi?
doobee is spreading some misinformation. they have lunch hours and are open midays on sunday
re: zfwp
Sorry. You're right. I haven't been there for a couple of years.
If you are going for dinner though, it's wise to get in line about an hour earlier. They have a lot of benches and lawn chairs.
Here is a link to the Villa Bellezza vineyard I said I would find:
+1 Harbor View Cafe. They don't open until 5 pm. No reservations. You have to get in line. Best to get there about an hour before. It's always busy.
I just read about a vineyard there that looked interesting and beautiful. I don't remember the name. I tore something out of Mpls/St. Paul magazine. I'll look for more specific information tomorrow or you can google it, if interested.
Stockholm is a lovely place to explore with some nice cafes.
Last summer my husband and I ate lunch at the Harbor View Cafe in Pepin, WI a few times and loved it. I can't recall a whole lot of detail, just that I had a chicken dish with preserved lemons and olives that was swoontastic. The service was out of this world, too, in a casual sort of way.

Salisbury City leaders are looking to mix it up a bit in the downtown area with some revitalization efforts that include selling off some of the city's parking lots.
Delmarva Public Radio's Kyle Bean has the story.
SALISBURY, Md. (AP) - Maryland State Police are identifying a Delaware man fatally shot during a traffic stop.
Police say Wilmington police contacted Maryland authorities for help finding 25-year-old James Norris, who was wanted on handgun charges. Police say Norris was fatally shot Monday in Salisbury after troopers tracking him stopped the car he was traveling in.
When a trooper spoke to Norris, he put both hands in his jacket pockets. When the trooper told Norris not to, police say Norris said one of them would die, prompting the trooper to pull his gun.
Salisbury ended up in a little better financial shape in the just ended 2013 budget year than in 2012.
Auditor Pam Baker found that the city was benefiting from a modest rebound in construction activity pulling in $364-thousand in permits compared to $185-thosuand the year before.
But the Salisbury Daily Times reports that declining real estate values caused a drop of nearly $500-thousand in property tax revenue.
Baker also said that overall spending was $2.8 million below what was budgeted.
SALISBURY, Md. (AP) - Many city employees in Salisbury haven't had a raise in six years, but a new analysis shows the cost of benefits is substantially increasing city spending.
An analysis by The Daily Times shows spending on salaries, benefits and employee costs have jumped 52 percent in the past decade, from $17.4 million in 2004 to $26.6 million.
There hasn't been a hiring spree, though. The city added just 45 staff members over the past 10 years, an increase of 13 percent.
Former Assistant City Administrator Dr. Lore' Chambers has filed suit for $750-thousand against the city of Salisbury and Mayor Jim Ireton after being fired from her job in July.
The lawsuit alleges that Ireton verbally berated her when she expressed interest the city administrator job.
WBOC reports that Chambers claims that the Mayor would not let up physically stalking her, yelling at her and otherwise trying to intimidate her in a public setting.
There's a new report out that says the city employees of Salisbury are underpaid and should get an average 8.5 percent hike in their salaries.
Evergreen Solutions LLC found that 80 percent the 381 employees earn are compensated well below the market rate.
It recommended that overall employee compensation should be raised over no more than a 3 year period.
In addition, the $44-thousand report said that nine job titles should be revised with the creation of a position of lead zookeeper.
The Maryland Board of Public Works has authorized $1.2 million for wastewater treatment plant upgrades for the towns of Salisbury and Fruitland.
The funding is part of the 2000 Chesapeake Bay Agreement signed by five states including Maryland to clean up the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries such as the Wicomico River.
Salisbury got $1 million for designing improvements to fix an earlier upgrade that did not meet pollution control standards.
After 18 years as city administrator John Pick is leaving the city of Salisbury to become city manager in Northglenn, Colorado.
The 62-year old city official has overseen dramatic changes during those years with the population growing from 20-thousand to 30-thosuand since 1990.
Wi-Fi is coming to downtown Salisbury.
At least, that's the plans of Bill Garrett who was hired last July to be director of the city's information technology.
He told the Salisbury Daily Time, "It's time to step up the game a little."
On the table are plans to provide free WiFi for patrons on or near the Downtown Plaza.
He noted that other municipalities do this and bring in more business, especially in college towns.
The connection would be relayed by 10 antennas atop the surrounding buildings with the consent of their owners.
The Salisbury City Council last night unanimously approved a $53 million budget that will raise property taxes for the first time in years.
The rate will go from $8.19 to $8.84 per $1000 of assessed property value.
The increase represents the revenue problem faced by Salisbury in the face of an 8 percent drop in the town's property tax base due to the Great Recession.
There is a 2 percent pay raise for city employees and as well as money to maintain the pay increases for the police department.
Tom Stevenson will be taking over the city administrator's job in Salisbury on an interim basis but he told a news conference that he does plan to apply for the position.
He is head of the Neighborhood Services and code Compliance Department and has worked with just about every department over the last quarter century.
Stevenson will be replacing John Pick who announced his retirement this week and will depart June 28th.
Mayor Jim Ireton said that the city will hire a consultant in the national search for Pick's replacement.
Salisbury gained around 500 jobs in February but it's unemployment rate was still the highest for Maryland metropolitan areas in Maryland.
A new report by the Bureau of Labor Statistics found that the rate ticked down from 9.9 percent to 9.5 percent.
That's the lowest for February in Salisbury since 2009 when it stood at 9.4 percent.
The Salisbury metropolitan area includes Wicomico and Somerset Counties.
The Salisbury Daily Times reports that the total for those with jobs or looking for jobs rose from just over 61,700 to 62-thousand.
There will be an Arts Roundtable meeting this Wednesday in Salisbury to build and develop a new visual and performing arts center.
Executive Director Therese Hamilton told the Salisbury Daily Times that such a center could be located in the downtown area as part of a revitalization effort in that part of the city.
She noted that many nonprofit arts groups are now competing for space at high school auditoriums with all their logistical and financial challenges.
Police are looking for 19 year old Myles David Lyons in connection with an early morning shooting and stabbing that has left one person dead and two others injured
The incident occurred in the Jersey Road and Burnt Branch Drive area of Salisbury around 3 . am.
The murder victim is described as a 39 year old woman.
An 17 and 18 year injured in the incident have been taken to Peninsula Regional Medical Center.
It's National Night Out.
And cities across the county are celebrating the event that marks the fight against crime.
It's sponsored by the National Association of Town Watch.
On the Lower Eastern Shore there are a number of cities participating this year ranging from Salisbury and Crisfield to Pocomoke, Snow Hill and Ocean City.
Col. Ivan Barkley with the Salisbury Police Department says this is a way for the community and law enforcement to get together.
SALISBURY, Md. (AP) - A Pennsylvania woman has been charged in the death of her 11-year-old daughter after police say she ran her vehicle off the Salisbury bypass while impaired by drugs.
State police tell The Daily Times of Salisbury that the girl was not wearing a seat belt and was ejected from the vehicle, which overturned on the southbound Route 13 Bypass Sunday afternoon.
The unemployment rates for Salisbury and Dover were up in June.
Salisbury's jobless rate was 9 percent up from 8.4 percent in May.
That's still below 9.5 percent a year ago.
Statewide, Maryland's unemployment rate was 7.2 percent up from 6.6 percent a month earlier.
But that was still below the 7.7 percent a year ago.
For Dover June saw an unemployment rate of 7.4 percent up from 6.5 percent in May.
Again the June rate was lower than the 7.8 percent a year ago.
The United States Specialty Association says it will return to Salisbury to host the 2013 Softball World Series.
WBOC-TV reports that the association made the announcement Monday. The group's vice president, Bill Dowell, says the decision was based on Salisbury's infrastructure, as well as support from hotels, restaurants, businesses and sponsorships.
It will be the seventh year that Salisbury has hosted the event.
The Salisbury City Council is set to take up today a new plan by Mayor Jim Ireton for a redevelopment district for the downtown area that would eliminate several parking lots.
Ireton says that a recent study found there would still be plenty of parking in the downtown area with the plan.
The Salisbury Daily Times reports that over a month and a half's time the city actually counted the spaces used in the downtown area by the parking garage and five nearby lots.
Ireton says that no single politician or blog can argue there is a problem with parking in downtown.
There's a seven hour work session set for today during which the Salisbury City Council will take up the controversial charter amendment that would increase minority representation on the council.
By a 3-to-2 vote the Council told the City Attorney Mark Tilghman to draw up a measure that would expand the majority-minority district to two at-large council members while leaving a second at-large district with 3-members.
In addition, the proposal would eliminate the staggered elections for the council members and the Mayor.
All of the redistricting plans for Salisbury's City Council elections are now off the table.
In their stead there two new plans.
One would create three council districts.
Two would be majority-minority districts while the third would be an at large district with three council members.
A second proposal would create a two-district map that combines the two minority-majority districts but with two representatives.
The controversy over Salisbury's legal budget for the remainder of the current fiscal year will come up for scrutiny at night's City Council meeting.
The Council is set to take a second and final vote on a measure that would add $30,000 for the City Attorney.
However, at an April 16, meeting, Council members Laura Mitchell and Shanie Shields received a spread sheet showing that an additional $100,000 is needed to cover legal bills for the rest of the fiscal year.
Salisbury residents could be hit with a 1.5 percent hike in their property taxes after four years of holding the line on such an increase.
That's the issue facing the city as Mayor Jim Ireton rolled out his 2013 budget plan this week.
The Mayor says the increase is needed in light of the decline of $1.7 million in property tax revenues since 2010 because of a $221 million drop in property assessments.
The Salisbury City Council has agreed to end staggered municipal elections.
Council President Terry Cohen said that while the practice provided for continuity many voters felt it was just a form of – what she called -- re-election.
The Salisbury Daly Times reports that eliminating the staggered voting would provide…elections for the Mayor's office and all 5 Council seats every four years.
The next municipal election is set for April of next year.
Local landlord Stuart Leer of L&M Rentals has filed a lawsuit against Salisbury after the city's Historic District Commission denied his request to modify a historic Camden Avenue home.
He charges that the Commission did so after the 45 day window allowed for such a denial had passed.
The Salisbury Daily Times reports that the law says the failure by the Commission to act within that time frame constitutes automatic approval unless the two parties reach a mutual agreement for an extension.
The Salisbury City Council is set to hear from the public tonight and take an initial vote on a special assessment district that would pay for the cost of a sidewalk in the Harbor Pointe neighborhood.
The local home owners have come to the city several times before asking that the municipality put in a sidewalk on Harbor Pointe Drive from Pemberton Drive to Anchors Way.
During its work session tonight the Salisbury City Council is expected to take up a measure that would impose fines on problem properties.
The legislation is the Three Strikes provision of Mayor Jim Ireton's rental legislation.
The nuisance law would allow the city to recover a portion of the costs connected with repeated calls for service to either the Salisbury Police Department or the Department of Neighborhood Services and Code Compliance.
Mayor Jim Ireton says he wants the Salisbury City Council to consider at-will status for the city administrator and department heads, giving him sole hiring and firing power.
Ireton argued that because the council had changed the city charter to give them sole authority over the city Attorney his office should be given that same power over the city administrator and department heads.
The Council also has sole oversight of the City Clerk's office.
If you're going to Orlando, Florida, you can take a direct flight out the Salisbury-Ocean City: Wicomico Regional Airport.
Allegiant Airlines began looking at Salisbury as another hub for their service…after the runway extension and upgrades were completed last year.
Airport officials say Orlando is already the most popular destination for passengers…flying out of Salisbury.
But they note that in the past they have had to take connecting flights…to get there.
Wicomico County has become a big hit for businesses settling in the local enterprise zones.
The program rewards employers with property tax breaks in exchange for investment and job growth.
Program manager Mark Vulcan told the Salisbury Daily Times that the city has seen $25.3 million in new investment with 704 additional jobs.

Paterson Council agrees to garnish four top managers' wages to recoup improper overtime payments
The state Department of Community Affairs found evidence of the payments in the fall of 2011 during its investigation into overtime paid to high-ranking officials, including Jones, for their work during the Hurricane Irene flooding disaster.
Paterson obtained reimbursement of the flood overtime last year, but it has ignored a state deadline of March 2012 to reclaim the $28,000 in pre-flood overtime.
Last month, a Community Affairs spokeswoman said the agency would withhold an amount of aid equal to the amount of uncollected overtime.
Jones has accused the agency of having "nerve and audacity" to fault the city when it monitors city finances. The mayor also said he isn't defending the ability of city officials to collect overtime so much as challenging what he has described as the state's inconsistency in applying rules.
The resolution designates the council's finance committee and administration officials to lead the collection effort. The group would have a deadline of October 2014.

The fictional movie tells of disaster from bad plumbing (and corruption). But everyday in Sydney the "something really wrong about water" goes on and on. Sydney Water doesn't want to reduce usage - it keeps encouraging more water use by charging fixed fees for pipes in and pipes out (over 80% of my bill) and barely charging (like 18%) for the actual water people use. If I reduce my water use by 50% I'll reduce my bill by 9%. If you reduce your water use by 50% how much do you reduce your bill? With the future desalination plant there'll be a slight increase in usage charge but not much. Cheap water will keep being wasted. People get bugger all incentive to become water wise and to let Warragamba Dam build up to record levels and let the river system also be flushed out for the river's health.
Sydney Water could easily change its billing practice without reducing overall income by gradually reducing fixed fees and increasing its per kilolitre usage charge. This would reduce water use per head of population because the benefit would be tangible. As long as it announced such a gradual change and stuck to it people and businesses could adapt, install equipment and learn to save more water. The NSW Government and Sydney Water have had years to do this but they don't want to. They want more water use & more electricity use. They would rather spend money on advertising campaigns and water police in cars than actually solve the problem. This is what's really wrong about water in Sydney, not personal corruption, but the system that wants perpetual growth and doesn't want to change.
Since the days of Alexander the Great, binge drinking has been a very popular past time - leading to him apparently killing a friend and burning down Persepolis while drunk.
Those are some Great shoes to fill.
Yet, governments, schools and the media have repeatedly tried to teach us of binge drinking's dangers.
Dartmouth University has taken the lead, instigating a new nationwide policy to curb heavy drinking by their students.
Pour me another glass.
Binge drinking is defined as "the consumption of five or more drinks in a row by men — or four or more drinks in a row by women — at least once in the previous 2 weeks. Heavy binge drinking includes three or more such episodes in 2 weeks."
Seems I don't know anyone who isn't a heavy binge drinker.
Do you think this definition should be changed or should we change people's attitudes? Or should you follow HPD's no fools guide to drinking a lot but not dying?
Without a single day of talks, the vast majority of pundits have already set the bar of expectations so low that it seems we should be popping the champagne if the most anodyne of political agreements is reached.
Not to fall into the trap of optimism, but shouldn't we be a little bit hopeful and a little bit proud of the victories this fight has already won?
For instance, there cannot be a single sane leader on this planet who can realistically ignore this issue.
Yes, so far most of the world's responses have bordered on the tokenistic, but the sheer awareness and the fear of backlash, is a sign that the movers and shakers are getting scared.
Not to exaggerate but there could also be a dangerous connotation to this wide-spread cynicism-that connotation being that the most modest of successes will cause surprise and a spark of hope amongst a grey and apathetic public.
Sort of takes the heat off government leaders who thought they'd have to thrash it out in debates and eventually return to their countries exhausted, treaty in hand proclaiming that the problem was finally solved.
Instead, with the contour-less global media poised with their fingers quivering over keyboards (and the letters that spell 'failure'), an undue amount of column inches will be written for the promised funds for developing nations, as renewable technolgies are extolled and the great demon coal is exorcised.
My point?
Well we really have to keep our collective critical thinking cap on, because this about to become a no-holds barred grudge match where everything will be too little, too late, too much, too weak etc.
Just don't be too pessimistic because fatalism never fixed anything.
Tomorrow I'm heading to Cop 16 in Cancun with the hope that something can be achieved against climate change. Although the world media has shown almost complete indifference (as opposed to Copenhagen), it isn't unreasonable to think that with lowered expectations and a meeting outside the media's glare, something might be achieved.
Let's just hope that the world of diplomacy which has been unearthed by WikiLeaks is less self-centered and duplicitous than they currently appear.
With one major exception, can anyone argue that the basic needs of everyone in the rich nations cannot now be met? The exception is housing, and in this case the growth in value is one of the reasons for exclusion. A new analysis by Goldman Sachs shows that current house prices are not just the result of a shortage of supply: if they were, then the rise in prices should have been matched by the rise in rents.
Growth is a political sedative, snuffing out protest, permitting governments to avoid confrontation with the rich, preventing the construction of a just and sustainable economy... The rich are having to spend more and more to distinguish themselves from the herd: to ensure that you cannot be mistaken for a lesser being, you can now buy gold and diamond saucepans from Harrods... Sacrificing your health and happiness to earn the money to buy this junk looks like a sign of advanced mental illness.
Is it not time to recognise that we have reached the promised land, and should seek to stay there? Why would we want to leave this place in order to explore the blackened wastes of consumer frenzy followed by ecological collapse? Surely the rational policy for the governments of the rich world is now to keep growth rates as close to zero as possible? But because political discourse is controlled by people who put the accumulation of money above all other ends, this policy appears to be impossible. Unpleasant as it will be, it is hard to see what except an accidental recession could prevent economic growth from blowing us through Canaan and into the desert on the other side.
Everything now hinges on stopping coal. Whether we prevent runaway climate change largely depends on whether we keep using the most carbon-intensive fossil fuel. Unless we either leave it - or the carbon dioxide it produces - in the ground, human development will start spiralling backwards. The more coal is burnt, the smaller are our chances of future comfort and prosperity. The industrial revolution has gone into reverse.
It is not because of polar bears that I will be joining the climate camp outside the coal plant at Kingsnorth. It is not because of butterflies or frogs or penguins or rainforests, much as I love them all. It is because everything I have fought for and that all campaigners for social justice have ever fought for - food, clean water, shelter, security - is jeopardised by climate change. Those who claim to identify a conflict between environmentalism and humanitarianism have either failed to read the science or have refused to understand it. [More]
The low low base can be heard miles away, and the ominous but inviting beat is a beacon to all that hear it. People are dancing, drugged out but cerebral. They rub up against each other, it's sweaty, it's loud, it's dirty. And it's fun.
A sure fire sign that the party killing police will be coming soon.
They do turn up, a few times, but instead of the intolerance and impatience we've come to expect from Sydney's finest; they're orderly and patient. They make sure everyone is okay, and keep their distance. Then at the almost ungodly hour of 4am they decide it's time to go, music off, everyone leaves and a fantastic night ends without violence or anger.
A lesson to police worldwide that the Golden Rule still has currency.
There are few people in this world who would defend Gaddafi as a sane and viable leader of Libya; but I think there would be even less that would see the logic in the U.S selling guns to someone as psychotic as him and then parading about as world police.
It's the equivalent of a sheriff giving an outlaw a six-shooter and then acting surprised when he starts popping off the town folk.
The second one U.S plane gets shot down by one U.S surface-to-air missile, all the military big wigs should get together and make a decision once and for all - "we have to stop shooting at tyrants we've given guns to".
What do you think about Libya? What do you think about the obvious contradictions in U.S foreign policy and how do you think they should be addressed? Tell us and remember...Disqus!
In this provocative new book, The Climate Change Challenge and the Failure of Democracy, David Shearman and Joseph Wayne Smith present evidence that the fundamental problem causing environmental destruction - and climate change in particular - is the operation of liberal democracy. Its flaws and contradictions bestow upon government - and its institutions, laws, and the markets and corporations that provide its sustenance - an inability to make decisions that could provide a sustainable society.
(The Climate Change Challenge and the Failure of Democracy by David Shearman and Joseph Wayne Smith, Published by Praeger)
I recognise that recession causes hardship. Like everyone I am aware that it would cause some people to lose their jobs and homes. I do not dismiss these impacts or the harm they inflict, though I would argue that they are the avoidable results of an economy designed to maximise growth rather than welfare. What I would like you to recognise is something much less discussed: that, beyond a certain point, hardship is also caused by economic growth...
The most obvious way in which further growth will hurt us: Climate change does not lead only to a decline in welfare, beyond a certain point it causes its termination. In other words, it threatens the lives of hundreds of millions of people. However hard governments might work to reduce carbon emissions, they are battling the tide of economic growth. While the rate of growth in the use of energy declines as an economy matures, no country has yet managed to reduce energy use while raising gross domestic product. [For more]
The laying of the groundwork must begin today, so that the American people will be prepared for the day when the mirage the Fed has created evaporates completely.
People's Liberation Army (PLA) Major General Luo Yuan, in a commentary published by state-owned website china.org.cn, said China has not abandoned the idea of "war at all costs" to protect its interests.
"'Peaceful rise and 'period of strategic opportunity' preclude war," said Luo, who has been described by Western media as "hawkish" for his ultranationalist views.
"It is incorrect to assume that China will completely rule out military action in any event during this 'period of strategic opportunity,'" he said, referring to Beijing's dispute with Manila.
The novelty? To drive this revolution in an economic framework that will attract investors and governments in entrepreneurial partnerships that feed self-interest while revolutionising outcomes – particularly in relation to carbon.
The blue economy was initially a report to the Club of Rome recommending innovations inspired by science and biometrics. This is a truly cool equation. Science + Economics = A Better Future.

Listening for the Coqui's ko-KEE Call
To quiet the coqui population that has leapt out of control in recent years, the state turned to the public for help; or rather, the public's ears to listen for those distinctive "ko-KEE" calls. The "Go Out and Listen Night!" on Wednesday resulted in at least 12 reports of coqui frogs across O'ahu. My family phoned into the hotline as well, after hearing a quick "ko-KEE" sound near our home on Round Top.
That's the first time we heard a coqui; ironically, we weren't even aware of the island-wide exercise until the day after we made the report. According to the Honolulu Star-Advertiser, about 133 O'ahu residents took part in the event, which required residents to go outdoors between 7:30 and 8 p.m. and to listen for the invasive frogs. There were five reports in urban Honolulu, one each from East Honolulu and Windward O'ahu, two from Central O'ahu and three from Leeward.
Some people don't mind the sound and think it's rather peaceful; others, however, can't wait till something is done about the aural annoyance. These include tourists, who prefer renting accommodations in a quieter setting. Despite their sound, coqui frogs have infested about 60,000 acres on the Big Island and are a threat to native species.
If you hear or see a coqui frog while you are staying in the islands, please file a report at the coqui311.blogspot.com website or call the hotline number 643-PEST (643-7378).

During the presidential primary, in the spring of 2008, Obama ran a campaign ad aimed directly at Tauzin, chief executive officer of the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America. In the ad, titled "Billy," Obama tells a small gathering of seniors:"The pharmaceutical industry wrote into the prescription drug plan that Medicare could not negotiate with drug companies. And you know what, the chairman of the committee who pushed the law through went to work for the pharmaceutical industry making $2 million a year. Imagine that. That's an example of the same old game-playing in Washington. I don't want to learn how to play the game better. I want to put an end to the game-playing."
But Obama has played the game, and Tauzin was one of the first players he picked for his team. White House visitor logs show that between Feb. 4 and July 22, Tauzin visited his office an average of once every 15 days ? about as frequently as Tauzin probably collects that generous paycheck candidate Obama derided. We don't know how often Tauzin visited after July, because of the ad hoc nature of White House visitor log releases.
via Once Obama's target, lobbyist Tauzin now his pet | Washington Examiner.
Is there anyone out there who relied on Obama's promises on health care as a key reason for voting for him, whether during the primary season or during the general election campaign? If so, I'm interested in hearing what you think now.

Will Activision's New Subscription Service be Worth it?
May 31st, 2011 | Written by Andrew Giese | Topic: Industry NewsThe Wall Street Journal reports that Activision will be introducing a subscription-based online service for their Call of Duty franchise. Pricing in less than $8/month, the service—named Call of Duty Elite—will supposedly offer subscribers exclusive extra content as well as advanced gameplay tracking tools they can't get anywhere else. But the question is: will it be worth it?
Activision CEO Bobby Kotick has come under fire in the past for being perceived as a bit of a money-grubber. Keep in mind, not only does Activision make the Call of Duty franchise, but they own the Guitar Hero franchise and are partners with Blizzard who made World of Warcraft. They're not exactly eating out of the garbage cans yet. Could this just be a scam to turn a quick buck off the players?
On top of that, the whole toolset to analyze in-game performance, tracking stats such as which weapons allow players to get the most kills has already been done before. Bungie did, and still does this with their Halo franchise. They do it for free, and they do it very well. How can Activision justify to players something that is already being offered by another game franchise? Add this redundancy to Kotick's complaints about getting gouged, and there's a good case to cast doubt on this whole subscription plan.
On the other hand… it just might be worth it.
For those gamers who are buying expansion packs, new maps, and other extras associated with their favorite franchise anyway, this service will undoubtedly streamline things for them and possibly offer them a bargain. Instead of going through the hassle of buying Microsoft Points, before booting up the game and finding the DLC they want to download, subscribers could be automatically notified of new DLC to their game on startup, or even have it automatically download the new content as soon as it's up.
Integrated seamlessly, the subscription service can be hassle-free for those who opt out, and potentially enriching for those who opt-in. This writer remains skeptical of the service, but until we get some more info at this year's E3, it's impossible to know for certain.

The Obama administration is laying out three broad options for overhauling the mortgage lending system, but will let Congress make the final decision.

Increases observed in whites, blacks, and Hispanics; notable increase among black girls
MONDAY, Jan. 21 (HealthDay News) -- The rate of diagnosis of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) increased by about a quarter in the last decade, with increases across racial groups and a notable increase among black girls, according to a study published online Jan. 21 in JAMA Pediatrics.
Darios Getahun, M.D., Ph.D., from Kaiser Permanente Southern California Medical Group in Pasadena, and colleagues examined the medical records of 842,830 children who received care with Kaiser Permanente Southern California between 2001 and 2010. The authors sought to assess trends in the diagnosis of ADHD among 5- to 11-year-old children.
The researchers found that, overall, 4.9 percent of children had a diagnosis of ADHD. The rate of ADHD diagnosis increased 24 percent, from 2.5 percent in 2001 to 3.1 percent in 2010. The risk of diagnosis increased among whites (4.7 to 5.6 percent; relative risk, 1.3), blacks (2.6 to 4.1 percent; relative risk, 1.7), and Hispanics (1.7 to 2.5 percent; relative risk, 1.6), but remained unchanged for other racial groups. Among blacks, the increase was largely due to greater diagnosis in girls (relative risk, 1.9), and the sex gap appeared to be closing over time. The risk of diagnosis also increased for children from high-income households.
"The findings suggest that the rate of ADHD diagnosis among children in the health plan notably has increased over time," Getahun and colleagues conclude. "We observed disproportionately high ADHD diagnosis rates among white children and notable increases among black girls."

The U.S. Army is now in the process of transforming itself to meet security interests and the need for land power that span the globe, now and in the future. The following essays are representative of current thinking at the U.S. Army War College by students considering the nature and direction of this transformation. Dr. Williamson Murray s introduction sets the historical context for military transformation, comparing the modern European example with recent U.S. efforts in military innovation. The remaining essays address four themes: the nature of the transformed Army, building irreversible momentum for transformation, improving strategic responsiveness, and how to achieve transformation in key areas.

(assuming they are installed.) if you need more complexty, perl has LWP::Simple and LWP::UserAgent to begin with. (there are a host of spaghetti others) Both of these needs to be installed extra. Perhaps consult your sys admin. The last time i used them was some 2 years ago, so the following code is untested, but should be it. I don't recall which one can't do what.

I've always wanted to start one of these, so here we go!
Today in Baseball History November 12th |
1923 | Giant manager John McGraw trades outfielders Casey Stengel and Bill Cunningham along with shortstop Dave Bancroft to the Braves for pitchers Joe Oeschger and Bill Southworth. |
1940 | Unwilling to yield to the players' demands during the season, Alva Bradley finally fires Indian manager Oscar Vitt and replaces him with Roger Peckinpaugh. It is Peckinpaugh's second time as Cleveland's field boss. |
1952 | Philadelphia A's hurler Bobby Shantz (24-7, 2.48) is named as American League MVP by the baseball writers. The 27-year old southpaw, who is named first on 16 of the 20 writers' ballots, easily outdistances runner-ups Allie Reynolds and Mickey Mantle. |
1955 | Fred Hutchinson replaces Harry Walker as the Cardinal manager. With the departure of 'the Hat', the National League for the first time in its history will not have a player-manager in the circuit. |
1958 | Yankees right-hander Bob Turley, the World Series Most Valuable Player, wins the Cy Young Award edging out runner-up Warren Spahn of Milwaukee by one vote. 'Bullet Bob' posted a 2.97 ERA while compiling a 21-7 record and won another two games for New York in the Fall Classic. |
1986 | Red Sox right-hander Roger Clemens (24-4, 2.48) becomes only the second American League pitcher to unanimously win the Cy Young Award. Denny McLain was the first to accomplish the feat in 1968. |
1996 | Blue Jays right-hander Pat Hentgen (20-10) edges New York's Andy Pettitte (20-8) for the American League Cy Young Award by the narrow margin of 110-104. Mariano Rivera, the Yankee southpaw's teammate, finishes third in the ballot, getting one first-place vote. |
2001 | One year after playing Class-A ball, Albert Pujols (.329, 37, 130) is named the National League Rookie of the Year by the BBWAA. The Cardinal freshman set NL rookie marks RBIs for (130), total bases (360) and extra-base hits (88) and falls one home run shy of tying the National League rookie record of 38 established by Frank Robinson in 1956 as a member of the Reds. |
2001 | Although disappointed in not winning the award unanimously, Mariners outfielder Ichiro, who led the circuit in hitting, is named the American League Rookie of the Year by the Baseball Writers Association of America. Chris Assenheimer of the Elyria (Ohio) Chronicle-Telegram voted for C.C. Sabathia (17-4) as his top choice citing the nine years of professional experience in Japan made Ichiro less of a rookie than 21-year old Indian hurler. |
2002 | Miguel Tejada, who receives 356 points from the Baseball Writers' Association, including 21 first-place votes of the 28 cast, is selected as the American League's Most Valuable Player. The A's shortstop joins countrymen Sammy Sosa and George Bell as Dominican Republic natives to win the award. |
2007 | In the closest election since the current method was initiated in 1980 - 5 points for 1st; 3 points for second; 1 point for third, the Baseball Writers Association of America selects Ryan Braun as the National League Rookie of the Year. By a margin of just two points, the Brewers' third baseman edges Rockies shortstop Troy Tulowitzki, who was listed first on more than half of the BBWAA ballots. |
2007 | Dustin Pedroia (.317, 8, 50) becomes the sixth Red Sox player and the first to win the American League Rookie of the Year since Nomar Garciaparra was selected in 1997. The 5'9" second baseman, who is listed first on 24 of the 28 BBWAA ballots, easily outdistances Rays outfielder Delmon Young (.288, 13, 93). |
2008 | Receiving 27 of the 28 first-place votes cast by the Baseball Writers' Association of America, Joe Maddon easily wins the American League Manager of the Year award. The Rays skipper, who succeeded Lou Piniella in 2006, this year's NL's choice for the honor, led Tampa Bay to a pennant after the team posted the worst record (66-96) in baseball last season. |
2008 | Lou Piniella wins the National League Manager of the Year award after leading the Cubs to the postseason for the second consecutive season. The fiery skipper also won the AL honor in 1995 and 2001 while managing in Seattle. |
2008 |
The A's acquire Matt Holliday (.321, 25, 88) from the Rockies in exchange for former Rookie-of-the Year reliever Huston Street, southpaw starter Greg Smith and highly touted outfield prospect Carlos Gonzalez. The 28 year-old All-Star left fielder, who can become a free agent at the end of the season, was unable to come to terms with Colorado on a long term contract. |
Also, talk about Yu Darvish...a lot.

And the beautiful owner of a chain of luxury hotels persuades him to quietly investigate a string of murders at her high-class establishments. With Jack and his team stretched to breaking point, one of his most trusted colleagues threatens to leave Private, and Jack realises he is facing his biggest challenge yet. With more action, more intrigue, and more twists than ever before, "Private: No. 1 Suspect" is James Patterson at his unstoppable best.

Guest post: Sexist driver for Greyhound in Roanoke
Note from Dan: Ralph Cox lives in Northern Virginia, following a 20-year career in the Navy. He wrote this to the newspaper Thursday and it landed on my desk.
By Ralph Cox
I am a 47-year-old father with a daughter in college. My daughter and I live in Northern Virginia. On a family trip through Virginia last weekend with my visiting mother and sisters we spent the evening just outside Roanoke.
My mothers and sisters and I were traveling to see Natural Bridge and Monticello on Sunday, but my daughter had to get back home to study and go to work in the late afternoon.
I dropped her at the Greyhound terminal at 5:00 a.m. to catch a 6 a.m. bus back home. By the way, your downtown area is wonderful, and I hope to be able to pay a proper visit in the near future.
My daughter hadn't been able to print the ticket she purchased online, so she had to be at the terminal one hour early to get a printed ticket. The terminal was closed. We waited.
The bus arrived at 5:30. As I waited in the car across the street my daughter approached the bus to ask the driver if someone would be there before the bus departed or if she would be able to ride by showing the e-mail confirming her purchase that was on her smart phone.
The driver laughed and said "it depends on how cute the next driver thinks you are. This will be a test of your womanhood." The others waiting for the bus also laughed.
My daughter came back to the car and discussed it with me. I wanted to confront the driver, but my daughter was afraid the driver might react violently. And, she was afraid she wouldn't be allowed on the bus and decided to put up with it.
I sent an e-mail to Greyhound and called them last Monday. I spoke with a Ms. Paige at their customer service center. She was polite and sympathetic. She assured me a supervisor would contact me within 24 hours. It's Thursday now. I haven't heard from anyone.
I can't seem to get through to Greyhound on my own. I hope you can use your newspaper to draw attention to the problems young women can face, even in nice places like Roanoke.

They have ALSO charged me for my room...I need to know how to reconcile this. I was charged on my AMEX ---- by Priceline AND --- by Marriot... WHAT DO I DO NOW??
Terrific location just a few steps from the Heavenly Valley Gondola. Nice to be able to walk to supermarket, stores, etc. Staff was friendly.
Unhappy they would not extend our checkout time past 10:30 am - refused our request to leave by 11am. Mandatory valet parking charge of $26 per day OR portion of a day seemed abusive. Rooms are small for a 4-star.
Location, right next to the gondola and restaurants/activities.
No daily cleaning.
Beautiful Marriott Vacations property. Ideally situated for skiing at Heavenly. Ski valet off of lobby just steps to the gondola, almost ski-in, ski-out! :-)
No self park, valet parking $26 a day.
This is a family hotel and there are a lot of kids and facilities and activities for them. Didn't bother me in the least but if you are kid-averse, may not be the place for you.Location next to heavenly gondola and village. Hottub, pool.
Valet parking for 26$ with no other options.
Location, kids activities, staff working with the kids
Valets were stoned
Staff is super kind and location is great. I love to stay again.
This hotel has kitchen facilities, but don't have storve.

The Verizon Wireless Motorola Droid cell phone boasts a 3.7 inch, WVGA 480×480 high-resolution touch screen display with 5 megapixel digital camera, Custom Motorola Interface, ARM Cortex 500 MHz processor. Its 3.7 inch display is an excellent capacitive touch screen everybody has ever seen on any phone. It displays text and images beautifully. It can support up to 16 million hues. You can read email, ebooks or comics; browse the Web pages without getting an eye fatigue. Touch taps are registered with very little lag.
The Droid is the first phone to run the Android 2.0 operating system. The OS provides faster Web browsing, multiple access to email accounts which include Gmail, IMAP and POP 3. The Anroid 2.0 also comes with Microsoft Exchange support and calendar which allows the users to synchronize their contacts in a unified list.
Another surprise that the Droid offers is the Google Maps Navigation system. Users usually make use of the GPS or navigator service by subscribing to monthly or pay-as-you-go basis to their network provider. But this time, the Droid offers the navigator absolutely for free. Google Maps Navigation provides voice-activated and guide turn by turn directions!
The Verizon Motorola Droid costs $199.99 and will work with a Smart data plan. It is without any doubt the best Android phone available to date; and also the best device Verizon has to offer; not to mention Verizon as one of the leading network in United States. The Droid's platform has come a long way and its 2.0 update adds more polish to the OS. The phone might not be user friendly as we always wanted it to be, but it's undeniably behind the Apple's iPhone in terms of smart phone experience.

Congratulations to the lieutenant, but it would have been better if he had been told to put his LEFT HAND on the bible while raising his right hand. The two women look pretty silly standing there like that!

Very observant The Flea. Does this mean the oath, while recited, is not official. Anyone know?
May 15, 2011 at 10:37 PM
it is not invalidated. reciting the oath is the only part that matters. the other part is symbolic. having your hand on the bible is not even required, as some peoples religious beliefs prevent them from doing so.

Android and iPhone philosophies worlds apart
The objective of Apple's iPhone and Google's Android operating system may be similar--providing a rich mobile Internet experience--but the philosophy behind the two are just about as far apart as you can get in the technology realm.
That divide was illustrated Tuesday not just by Google's release of the open-source Android software but perhaps even more starkly by its gleeful horn-tooting that even before the day ended, five Android patches from outside programmers had been accepted.

India muse to new age 'land art'
Land art documents the landscape and its symbols through the eye of an artist to convey a specific idea.
Demolished buildings, piles of bricks, an odd tree and colonial style homes arranged in artistic shapes are the symbols of new age "land art" for a handful of contemporary artists from the West who have made India their muse.
Three of them, supported by the Embassy of France and its arms, have captured the everyday heritage of the country, introducing the concept of "land art" to India.
Fashion photographer Sebastian Cortes has documented the quaint Indo-French cultural landscape of Puducherry in his project, "Pondicherry", a series of photographs and a book, which will open April 30.
Cortes, who worked between Milan and New York, settled in Auroville in Puducherry 10 years ago with his yoga instructor wife. The "obscure rituals" at the Aurobindo ashram, the "ordinariness of life and the colonial past" – as Cortes says – acquire a strange rhythm in the carefully planned frames of "French-style villas, an old pier, Aurobindo's shrine, the town's political history sprinkled with French symbols from another era, Hindu icons, people and the sea".
The artist says the mixture of legacies is what India is all about with "plastic chairs being the new art icon".
The urban landscape of India is fast changing. In 10 years' time, Delhi might touch Jaipur crafting new land art symbols like high-rise archaeology and urban ruins, says French land artist and archaeologist Alex Boucher, who manages a design boutique, "Pruriel Design" in the capital.
Boucher has enhanced the canvas of one of his land art projects, "Little Temples to the Road", which he began in France in 1995 to document the disappearing little old landmarks like "small kiosks, streetside garages and the craftspeople" from Paris.
He plays with the theme of demolition, construction and the accumulation of neo-ruins of buildings, which he describes as the "archaeology of time".
Artist Delphine Gibley Ghai of French origin, who unveiled her built art project, "Open" in the capital Thursday, has mapped the land art of India and its South Asian neighbours in striking photographs.
History cites that the land art movement began in October 1968 with the group exhibition, "Earth Works" in New York.
The genre, coined by artist Robert Smithson was practised by leading post-modern artists like Andy Goldsworthy, Hans Haacke, Alan Sonfist and Constantin Brancusi.
