Trucks based in the one of the nation's smallest states are soon going to have to comply with a law requiring them to make a big noise.
Legislation signed by Gov. Jack Markell requires commercial vehicles registered in Delaware that have a gross vehicle weight rating of 26,001 or more to have an audible backup signal. Those that have a backup camera are exempt from the law, which takes effect the first of 2014. Farm vehicles are exempt from the law.
First time violators face a fine of $75 while repeat ones are subject to a $175 fine.
Supporters pushed for the law following the 2009 death of woman who was struck and killed by a delivery truck.

Full Bio & Programs
For everyone.
The Reconnective Healing principle is simple, yet the outcome is revolutionary. There are healing frequencies that transcend the limitations of human ability and imagination. By opening to that healing power without preconceived agendas, we're able to restore balance and harmony in our lives and transform our bodies, hearts, minds, and souls in ways that otherwise might seem impossible.
In this workshop, Reconnective Healing founder Eric Pearl invites everyone to become more aware of the universal intelligence that created all life forms, access the healing frequencies of this intelligence, and learn to interact with it at a more comprehensive and evolved level. The Reconnection has taught this new level of healing to more than 75,000 people in 70 countries. Reconnective Healing has been documented in six books to date, including the international best-seller The Reconnection: Heal Others, Heal Yourself.
Join Eric as he shares his remarkable story, gives demonstrations, and teaches you to use these frequencies to heal yourself and others.
Recommended reading Eric Pearl, The Reconnection: Heal Others, Heal Yourself (Hay House).

To watch Sky 3D entertainment, you'll need a Sky+HD box with Sky Entertainment Extra+, a 3D TV and 3D glasses.
To watch Sky 3D movies or sports, you'll also need Sky Movies and/or Sky Sports with the HD Pack.
You can buy your passive 3D glasses on our accessories page.
Sky 3D is Europe's first dedicated 3D TV channel, bringing you an incredible 3D experience in the comfort or your own home.
Depending on your Sky TV package, you'll get a fantastic range of live sport, blockbuster movies, unmissable entertainment and ground-breaking documentaries, bursting out of the screen and into your living room.
There are two ways to watch 3D TV - Active and Passive. Active and Passive 3D refers to both the type of glasses you have to wear to watch 3D, and the 3D ready TV you are using.
Active glasses contain LCD lenses that alternately 'block out' each eye depending on whether the left or right image is being displayed on the screen. They are referred to as active because they require a battery to operate the LCD lenses.
Passive glasses do not require any power to operate them. They use polarisation to separate out the left and right image, then work with polarised TVs that deliver two images to the viewer. The TVs have a filter integrated into the screen, and when switched into 3D mode, the filter orientates the light emitting from the screen differently for the left and right image. Passive is the type of technology you may have seen in the cinema.
If you are an existing HD customer with a 3D TV you can activate Sky 3D now.
If you are not an HD customer you can upgrade your viewing package so that you are eligible to receive Sky 3D.
If you are not a Sky TV customer, join Sky with Sky Entertainment Extra+ to activate Sky 3D.

For every outraged indigence about "trampling" on the second amendment, with every word and breath, I am that young woman again, sitting in her truck in a parking lot, alone except for a 911 operator.
OKAY, so I liked the pink guns. I have become everything I despise.
"First time?" Not sure what gave it away. I assume that I am acting like a terrified deer, jumpy, my eyes wide, my pulse racing. Or maybe it's that I keep putting at least 5 feet between myself and the gun, heavy in its basket.
The United States has a very complex and tormented relationship with guns, and a debate format is just really not the best place to be exploring gun policy, gun violence and gun ownership. So I braced myself for a wild ride, and I got one.
In the wake of the deaths of six- and seven-year-olds in Newtown, CT, giving my kid a toy gun just doesn't seem right. And I am not at all comfortable with the violence marketed to kids through video games and movies.
Somehow we just keep drifting back to the case with the compact Ruger 9mm, like it's calling my name.
You ever read about something that makes you despair for the human race? That's going to happen right now.
On my only visit to a gun range, I mostly learned that the Second Amendment is super important to ensure that douchebags can fire many bullets at racist gun range targets. AMERICA!
Sean and another dad simultaneously yelled, "Someone's shooting in the mall!" at the same time that I literally leapt out of my seat, pulled my child out of a tunnel by his feet, and ran.
As an armed security police officer, I carried a side arm and a semi-automatic rifle everyday while I was on shift. People with mental illness can be responsible with a firearm, and like me, they can even be kick-ass first responders that are ready to serve their communities.
If you are a babe who owns a gun, you might need one of these.

It was easier for me to get my hands on a gun than it was to get help from any adult at school.
And sadly, nope, that's not a headline from "The Onion" -- we only wish it were.

I went to the Vice world premiere of Erin Lee Carr's "Click. Print. Gun." last night having no idea what I was in for.
mental health
I take mental illness very seriously. So I've never regretted having my second husband committed to a psychiatric ward -- and would do it all over again, if need be.
For me, the Senate's actions yesterday are personal because the weaknesses of our laws made it possible for three criminals to acquire the assault weapon that killed my sister.
I was unnerved that some people didn't just disagree with me: they wanted my very existence, my very humanity, erased, as painfully as possible, starting with my vagina.
My day of espionage, and how learning poker made me feel like a better woman.
What's happened to our society that people now shoot each other at football games?

X/Motif Programming
This article will introduce the basic concepts in building a graphical user interface in X and Motif. I'll go into a quick introduction to the X Window System and its programming model, then introduce Motif and illustrate some concepts with a sample program. Finally, we'll go through the basic Motif programming principles.
The X Window System, or simply X, was originally developed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology with support from Digital Equipment Corporation. X was developed for Project Athena to fulfill the project's need for a distributed, hardware-independent user interface platform.
X is a graphics system used primarily on UNIX systems. It provides an inherently client/server-oriented framework for displaying windowed graphics. It provides a way of writing device-independent graphical and windowing software that can be ported easily from one machine to another.
X provides functionality via a vast set of subroutine libraries. These may be called from a variety of high-level languages. However, they are most easily called from C programs.
Since X is network-oriented, the applications developed for it do not need to run on the same system as the one supporting the display. The programmer doesn't need to worry much about the practicality of this, as X normally makes this transparent to the user.
The server is the program that controls the display. It acts as a bridge between user programs (i.e., clients or applications) and the resources of the local system. These run on either local or remote systems. The server performs the following duties:
Allows access by multiple clients.
Interprets network messages from clients.
Allows two-dimensional graphics display.
Maintains local resources such as windows, cursors, fonts and graphics.
The client in X usually consists of two parts. One, the graphical user interface, which is written in one or more of Xlib, Xt or Motif. Two, the algorithmic or functional part of the application where the input is received from the interface and processing tasks are defined.
In this section, I will briefly describe the main tasks of the three levels of the X/Motif programming model. The X/Motif programming model consists of Xlib, Xt Intrinsics and Motif.
Xlib handles the interface between the client application and the network. It is part of the X software architecture. The main task of Xlib is to translate C data structures and procedures into the special form of X protocol messages, which are then sent off. The converse, receiving messages and converting them to C structures, is performed by Xlib as well.
X Toolkit Intrinsics (Xt Intrinsics) is a toolkit that allows programmers to create and use widgets. Toolkits, such as the Xt Intrinsics, implement a set of user interface features or application environments such as menus, buttons or scroll bars (referred to as widgets). Since Motif is built upon Xt, we'll need to call some Xt functions. However, we do not need to understand the workings of Xt, as Motif takes care of most things for us.
The client and server are connected by a communication path called the connector. This is performed by a low-level C language interface known as Xlib. It is true that many applications can be written solely using Xlib, but in general, it will be difficult and time-consuming to write complex GUI programs only in Xlib. Many higher-level subroutine libraries, called toolkits, have been developed to remedy this problem. One of these toolkits is Motif.
Motif is a widely accepted set of user interface guidelines developed by the Open Software Foundation and its member companies around 1989, and supported since. These rules specify how an X Window System application should "look and feel". Motif includes the Motif Toolkit (Xm), which enforces a policy on top of the X Toolkit Intrinsics (Xt). Xt is really a "mechanism, not policy" layer, and Xm provides the specific look and feel. For example, Xt does not insist that windows have titlebars or menus, but it provides hooks for developers of specific toolkits (Motif, OpenLook, Athena widgets) to take advantage of. Motif also includes the Motif Style Guide document which details how a Motif user interface should look and behave to be "Motif compliant".

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Dobbs (KSU) | 5 | 2 | 3 | 1 | 0 | 0 |
DeLAND, Fla. – Behind a six-run sixth inning that broke a 3-3 tie, the fourth-seeded FGCU baseball team opened its second-ever appearance in the Atlantic Sun Tournament with a 12-4 win over third-seeded Kennesaw State on a steamy Wednesday afternoon on Melching Field at Conrad Park.
The Eagles' fourth straight win sets up a meeting with fifth-seeded Mercer (38-19) on Thursday at 7 p.m. The Bears defeated second-seeded USC Upstate, 11-2, in the first game of the day. FGCU now stands at 25-29 on the season and has taken five straight meetings against Kennesaw State (31-24).
"It's great to get a win in our first game for several reasons, but it's really important for our young club so we can continue to build our confidence," said head coach Dave Tollett. "Hopefully we can keep this momentum going because this league is full of good teams and it's a long tournament."
In a game that pitted a pair of A-Sun All-Conference first team pitchers against each other, it was the FGCU bats that proved to the difference, helping the Eagles plate a season-high 12 runs. The Green and Blue finished with 12 hits, marking the fifth time in the last six contests it has come up with double-digit base knocks. FGCU accomplished the feat just nine times over the team's first 47 games.
Despite having his most brief outing of the year, sophomore right-hander Ricky Knapp (Port Charlotte, Fla./Port Charlotte HS) picked up his ninth win of the season (9-4), going five innings with six hits, four runs, three walks and three strikeouts over 95 pitches. The A-Sun Pitcher of the Year, Knapp hadn't gone less than 6.1 innings in his previous 13 starts this year, owning the program single-season record for innings pitched with 111.1.
On the flipside, KSU senior right-hander Josh Carr (9-3), who was bidding for his 10th win, was roughed up for six runs over 5.1 innings on seven hits and four walks.
Sophomore Brandon Bednar (Stuart, Fla./South Fork HS) led the 12-hit charge with a 3-for-5 night that included a pair of RBI singles. Senior Ryan Gebhart (Waco, Texas/Midway HS/Missouri), who hit in the 9-hole, reached base all five times, scoring three runs and had an RBI single. Sophomore Sean Dwyer (Tavares, Fla./Tavares HS) continued to build on his .323 batting average since April 1, going 2-for-5, highlighted by a two-run double, which was his team-high 16th double of the season.
Batting leadoff for the first time this season, A-Sun All-Freshmen team choice Kirby Retzer (Boca Raton, Fla./Boca Raton HS) went 2-for-5 with two runs scored, an RBI and a walk. During FGCU's current run of six games, in which it has 68 hits, Retzer is 10-for-24 at the dish with a .517 on-base percentage. Sophomore Andrew Valencia (Miami, Fla./Gulliver Prep) was the fourth Eagle with a multi-hit night, thanks to a 2-for-5 performance that included an RBI.
With the score tied 3-3 through four innings, an FGCU groundout to first base started the frame before nine straight batters were able to reach base as the Green and Blue took a 9-3 lead following the game-changing six-run sixth inning. Junior Tito Mendoza (Miramar, Fla./Cooper City HS/Cowley CC) was hit by a 1-2 delivery and was followed by a single to centerfield from Dwyer and a walk to Gebhart to load the bases. Retzer then connected for an RBI single through the right side and was followed by an RBI walk issued to freshman Brady Anderson (Arcadia, Fla./DeSoto County HS) to make it a 5-3 game. Dwyer came back to the dish and laced a two-RBI double to the warning track in right field to extend the lead to 7-3, and the Eagles' eighth run crossed the plate when All-Freshmen team selection Zack Tillery (Naples, Fla./Barron Collier HS) sent a towering fly ball to left field which was lost in the sun. With the bases still full, Reeves, who led off the inning for the Green and Blue, trotted 90-feet to first base with another RBI walk. This proved to be the final damage in the inning, as the Eagles headed back out to the field with a 9-3 advantage.
Knapp was replaced by junior lefty R.J. Brown (Brandon, Fla./Bloomingdale HS) with two runners and no outs in the fifth, but the left-hander worked out of the jam with just one run charged to Knapp and went on to toss a scoreless seventh. Sophomore right-hander Harrison Cooney (Vero Beach, Fla./Vero Beach HS) finished off the final two innings, striking out two while allowing just one base runner.
FGCU is now 2-2 all-time in the A-Sun Tournament … the Eagles have defeated Kennesaw State five straight times and own a 12-4 advantage in the all-time series … the 12 runs were not only a season-high, but FGCU's most in the last 68 games … FGCU has double figure hits in five of last six games … Knapp's 9th win puts him in a tie for second in single-season history … Gebhart's three runs scored are tied for the most by an FGCU player in the A-Sun Tournament, while Dwyer's three hits are also tied the record … Gebhart's three runs scored put his team-high total at 41 for the year.

I think that with the motion sensing we (them as in developers) should consider uping it a notch. Consider this if we had an action game, say like fighting or even action adventure's (like Zelda) e we could have "bracelets" on the ankles and wrists to detect kicking, running, body spinning etc... wouldn´t that make all so much more interesting???
This can´t be that difficult to implement given the present state of things.
Not to mention the physical benefits. Any thoughts ?! Comments.

I am a proud evangelical Christian Republican and a native of Mississippi. I moved to Iowa and fell in love with the political process here during caucus season.
I love how candidates crisscross the state and make a point to engage with voters. I love that voters can sit down with candidates and ask them the questions that we the voters — not the media — want to present.
2011 was a big year for Republicans. We saw leaders emerge and saw candidates drop out. We saw job creation and education being seriously debated, and I felt that the concerns of the American people were heard — for the most part.
What I didn't hear much of this year was support for marriage equality from the Republican front-runners. I support marriage for gay and lesbian couples and have been vocal about my support, even when it hasn't always been the popular thing to do in my party.
I heard a lot of rhetoric about gay and lesbian Americans that didn't fit with what I know to be true and what many Republicans believe. As an evangelical Christian Republican, I know many people who hold conservative values like equality and freedom, but those voices were lost this year. However, I believe in my heart that things are changing. If it weren't for the loud voices of a few in our party, I do believe more Republicans would stand up in support of marriage equality.
I didn't always feel that way and my journey toward full support has been a long and intensive one. One of the things that changed my mind on this issue was my children. I used to watch my kids and wonder why equality is a non-issue with them. They love and support their friends, regardless of their sexual orientation, race, gender or religion.
Then I realized that I was tired of watching adults judge each other while my children could embrace the differences in their friends. After all, that is what being a Christian is all about.
What I learned from the 2012 Republican Caucus was this: If we don't stand together this year, we will lose. What is our party if not the party of freedom? This is a matter of freedom, and I want people to be free. It's the American thing to do.
Kathy Potts, of Cedar Rapids, is a new member of the Iowa Republicans for Freedom and its advisory board. She is the former Linn County Republican Party chair and most recently served as the Republican committee chair for the Rick Perry for President campaign. In January, Potts was featured in a CNN report looking at "die-hard" Republican volunteers who campaigned for candidates (http://www.cnn.com/2011/12/31/politics/iowa-true-believers/index.html).

I am sure most of us know the story of Malala Yousefzai who was shot by the Taliban for advocating education for girls. News.
Malala has dedicated her childhood to championing education for girls like her in Pakistan. As she lies in a hospital bed, a tragic victim of Taliban gunmen, let's help make her dream come true.
One part of Pakistan has already started a successful programme of paying families which send their girls to school regularly. But in Malala's province the government is dragging its feet. Senior politicians have offered Malala help, and if we act now we can get them to commit to rolling this out nationwide.
Before the media spotlight moves on, let's raise our voices to demand that the government announces funding for all Pakistani girls who attend school. In days the UN Education Envoy will meet Pakistan's President Zardari and he says hand delivering 1 million signatures will strengthen his case. So let's help make Malala's dream come true and sign this.
797,373! They're even coming in from Israel! The courage of this little girl has certainly touched a lot of lives.
A few short of 800K. This is one of the better things about the Internet. People live in a borderless world. Education is a human right. Those afraid of it are scared because education will ultimately be the death of religions.
Malala's father, a schoolteacher, has arrived in the UK to visit her. The latest news is that she will make a full recovery. She even asked for her school books so that she could prepare for her exams when she gets back to Pakistan.
BIRMINGHAM, England (Reuters) - The father of a Pakistani girl who was shot in the head by the Taliban for advocating girls' education said on Friday his daughter was strong and would "rise again" to pursue her dreams after receiving treatment in a British hospital.
Malala Yousufzai, 15, was flown from Pakistan to the British city of Birmingham to receive specialist treatment after the October 9 attack which drew widespread international condemnation.
She has become a powerful symbol of resistance to the radical Islamist group's effort to deny women an education.
Her father, Ziauddin Yousufzai, and other family members flew to Britain on Thursday to help their daughter's recovery.
"They wanted to kill her. But she fell temporarily. She will rise again. She will stand again," he said, his voice wavering and breaking with emotion as he spoke.
"It's a miracle for us ... She was in a very bad condition," he told reporters, sitting alongside his son.
"She is improving with encouraging speed."
Latest result on the UN Petition to take one million world-wide signatures to Pakistani President Zandari, to press him to create an environment in which girls may safely get an education: 827,864! If anyone knows ANYone who empathizes, but has not signed the petition, please urge them to do so - http://www.avaaz.org/en/malalahopenew/?byEradb&v=18768
"Miracle," my ass! This kid's got guts! Zandari could learn from her --
Did we get the million signatures for the original cause, Reg? I can't seem to find it on the link.

Solve the Money Puzzle: Responsible Sports $2,500 Grants
Brought to you by the
Liberty Mutual Insurance Responsible Sports
It's that time of the year again.
Spring – and spring sports – are in the air.
Now more than maybe ever before, YOU are a key piece of the increasingly colorful youth sports puzzle. Without parents, coaches, and volunteers like you, the picture of a positive, responsible sports environment for our kids could never come together.
Now you can be an even more vital piece of that puzzle!
As you and your young athletes eagerly practice and prepare for another spring sports season full of action, excitement, learning, and growing – as all the pieces of the puzzle begin to spring into place – wouldn't it be nice to do so with the added incentive of $2,500 to fund your youth sports organization or school sports program?
Register Your Organization Today
This spring, teams and clubs around the country are competing to earn the most Responsible Sports points. With just a little bit of work, and a good bit of networking and teamwork, your youth sports organization or school sports program could score enough points to finish as one of our 15
Responsible Sports Community Grant winners
this season.
It's easy to apply! Just visit
and register your organization or school program, then reach out to rally parents, coaches, and team supporters to go online and review either the
Responsible Sport Parenting
Responsible Coaching
Then, simply complete the corresponding online quiz, and showcase your mastery of the Responsible Sports concepts.
Score Points by Demonstrating Smarts
Each time someone within your organization successfully passes an online quiz, it's worth a point to your group. Connect with friends, family and neighbors to rally even more support and put more points on the board. The top five groups in each of the Small Organization, Large Organization and School categories with the most points at the end of the grant period (May 31) earn the 15 grant prizes of $2,500 each. It's that simple.
Remember…the more online quizzes your group successfully passes, the more points are earned on your behalf. It takes parents like you, along with your friends and family, to bring the pieces together. So take the quiz and earn a point, assign that point to your favorite team and watch all the points add up!

I wear a number of hats, so to speak (covers my bald head well). I am an assistant manager at the SF store. I also manage the SF tasting bar and work sales as well. Working the sales floor allows me to explore different vineyards and regions. Luckily, there are opportunities at K&L to bounce around a lot. Ive developed a preference for wines that are drier, more tart and more complex. Fruit bombs are not my thing like they were when I was, ahem, younger. I definitely prefer more terrior and wines that are earthy, particularly with some age on them. My advice? Trust yourself and try to keep track of what you have had that you like. Dont let anyone tell you what you are supposed to like. Everyone has a different palate and thats what makes this business interesting.

Deligeroy Cremant de Loire Brut
Review Date: 8-3-2010
Excellent bubbles for a budget! Lively peach and pear fruit with tiny bubbles and an excellent bead. Well-rounded, delicate, with a fresh, crsipy finish. Excellent as an apertif and with a salad. A price too good to pass up!
Price: $11.99
Urbanite Cellars "Redart" Red Blend
Review Date: 6-4-2010
An excellent blend of cabernet sauvignon, syrah and zinfandel. Fresh, deep red fruit with a nice depth of spice and balanced acidity. So inexpensive that it affordable enough for everyday. Perfect with everything from pizza to barbecue!
Top Value!
Price: $9.99
2004 Dunn Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon
Review Date: 4-9-2010
First of all, I am incredibly biased towards the wines of Dunn. One of my favorite wines ever was the 1987 Howell Mountain. What to say here? These are dense wines full of black fruits, anise, cocoa and cassis. While it is a mouthfull of wine in its youth, it will age magnificently for the next 20 years or more and morph into its trademark elegance. Well worth every penny.
Price: $89.99
Ruinart Brut Rosé Champagne (375ml)
Review Date: 2-12-2010
Okay, I haven't written up a Chamapagne for a long time now, so I'm going to indulge myself. Ruinart has been around since 1729 and makes some of the best Blanc de Blanc and Rosé on the market. The Rosé is a wonderful example of a clean, somewhat delicate, classic style Rosé. Wonderful raspberry, strawberry notes with great depth, acidity and minerality. Well worth the money. Personally, I enjoy it by itself or with a mild, creamy cheese. No need to mask any of the flavors coming from this beauty.
Price: $44.99
Ariston Aspasie "Cepages d'Antan" Brut Champagne
Review Date: 11-10-2009
Wow! I can honestly say that I have never tried a Champagne like this before! I first had it at our Champagne Tent Event in Redwood City and again last week (11/3). A very exotic blend of Pinot Blanc, Meslier and Arbane. White fruits such as pear, lychee and white nectarine. Add toasted pine nuts, some chalk and you have it. One of the most interesting Champagnes in the company. You already love the Rose, now try something very different. Versatile enough to start a meal with or to have with a main course. The Ariston family has done it again!
Price: $99.00
2005 St-Hilaire, Médoc
Review Date: 11-10-2009
A great 2005 vintage Bordeaux for an unbelievable price.A blend of 50% cabernet savignon, 45% merlot and 5% cabernet franc. Only 8000 cases made! A full, rich nose of red and black fruits with a hint of cassis and spice. Rich on the palate, with soft tannins and new oak. A perfect wine to pair with grilled foods!
Top Value!
Price: $24.99
Sorelle Bronca Prosecco DOCG
Review Date: 10-11-2009
Normally, I have mixed feelings about Prosecco and have to be in the mood to drink it. Sometimes, it is a little too fruity for me. However, this Sorelle Bronca is nice and dry and tart! A pretty nose of orange blossoms, mandarin oranges and toasted nuts. Crisp acidity with citrus fruits and minerality on the palate. A great way to start a meal and a great alternative to Blanc de blancs Chamapgne.
Price: $17.99
Baron-Fuenté "Grande Réserve" Brut Champagne
Review Date: 1-29-2009
Surprisingly, for such a blend of dark grapes, this is very light in coloralmost a light straw. On the nose it starts out light and pretty with aspects of fresh-cut flowers and bread dough. In the mouth it has a tight bead with very well-balanced flavors of apples (both green and gold), lemon curd and white cake, in a lighter style that finishes very cleanly. Ten grams of dosage per liter make this a perfect aperitif bubbly.
Price: $23.99
Baron Fuente "Galipettes" Brut Champagne
Review Date: 12-27-2008
Wonderful all-estate fruit with a 1/3 blend of each of Pinot Meunier, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Biodynamic. Rich with cherry fruit, cocoa and bread dough accents. Crisp at the back of the palate. An upcoming feature Champagne for February!
Price: $34.99
Charles Baur Cremant d'Alsace Brut Rosé
Review Date: 10-8-2008
A fantastic buy in bubbles! A delicate nose of raspberries and roses. In the mouth, a very fine bead with a slight hint of minerality, more raspberries, vanilla and tart cherries. A really great bubbly to have by itself or with a light, fruit-based tart.
Price: $19.99
Collard-Picard "Cuvee Selection" Brut Champagne
Review Date: 10-2-2008
A round and full Champagne, with loads of rich fruit. Amazing bubbles, clean and linear. Toasted hazelnuts, sea salt and grapefruit zest on the nose. In the mouth, brown butter, caramel, spice and clean citrus fruit. The finish is where the Chardonnay stands out. Unlike other Pinot Meunier-based Champagnes, this one has the unmistakable minerality of fruit from Mesnil to enhance the zippy finish. I highly recommend this Champagne for those of you who are curious about Meunier-based sparklers. It is also an ideal pairing for fowl and rustic smoked meats where other Champagnes tend to fall flat.
Price: $34.99
Henriot "Souverain" Brut Champagne
Review Date: 10-2-2008
Although the majority of the blend is pinot noir, the crisp chardonnay fruit stands out on the nose. Refreshing citrus, green apples and minerality are the dominant characteristics and they create
refreshing and clean scents that are reminiscent of a fine blanc de blanc. On the palate, there is also a
crispness that makes for a lighter style of sparkling wine. Pears, limes, nectarines and (again) a hint of
minerality are at the forefront. On the finish and at the back of the palate are cream and vanilla from
the pinot noir. This is a very solid Champagne at an excellent price; its a one-time deal, so when we run
out, its finis!
Price: $34.99

Airport broke contracts, suit says; Spokane Airways sues over loss of facilities;
The parent company of Spokane Airways, RMA, Inc., has filed suit against the Spokane International Airport and its seven-member board of directors.
The lawsuit, filed in Spokane County Superior Court, accuses the airport of breaking contracts to replace six buildings the privately owned company had occupied for more than 20 years. Those structures must be demolished to clear sight lines for a new air traffic control tower set to open in August.
John Chastek, vice president of operations for Spokane Airways, has said the airport is under contractual obligations to build new facilities or relocate the general aviation company into the same size quarters it had until March, when it was forced to move.
An attorney for the airport said the lawsuit is without basis and that airport officials have gone out of their way to ease Spokane Airway's long-anticipated relocation.
Kevin Roberts, an attorney for the airport, said the sort of new construction that's being asked for would cost the airport between $10 million and $15 million.
Nothing in the leases provides for taxpayer-subsidized new construction, Roberts said. "They're trying to get something not required under Washington law."
In March, Spokane Airways moved into smaller quarters owned by the airport at the south end of the airfield. The company services private, charter and some commercial aircraft and has about 100 employees.
In its complaint, the company said the airport leases promise that "relocation or substitution of other premises ? be at the expense of the (Airport) Board."
Roberts said the airport legally terminated those leases with the general aviation services provider.
Bill Symmes Sr., the attorney for Spokane Airways, declined to comment on the case because it will be the subject of a hearing on Friday, during which a trial date could be set.
Roberts said his firm will try to avert that by asking the court in upcoming days to dismiss the suit. A ruling on that matter would take up to 45 days from the time it's filed, he said.
