"Gone with the Wind at 75: A Diamond Jubilee" opened at the Mary G. Hardin Center for Cultural Arts in Gadsden on June 30 and ends Friday, Dec. 23. The exhibit, which took more than two years to plan, celebrates the publication of Margaret Mitchell's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel in 1936.
The Hardin Center previously hosted "GWTW" exhibits in 1991 and 2001. Executive director Bobby Welch said the third is the biggest and best yet.
"This includes 17 different lenders and more than 900 individual artifacts that have been loaned," Welch said.
One of the highlights is a wall of books that features a copy of the novel in every language and from every country in which it has been published, including almost 100 different editions from China alone.
The display also includes a complete set of the "running totals" jackets printed in 1936. The publisher promoted "GWTW"'s ever-increasing sales figures by listing the number of printings and the number of copies in a line on the bottom of the book's dust jacket
Although the print version of "GWTW" is given its due, the bulk of the exhibit is dedicated to the Academy Award-winning film, which was released in 1939.
Original costume pieces, furniture and props are on display along with rare promotional pieces created for the movie's world premiere in Atlanta.
Whimsical memorabilia, such as "GWTW" toiletries and undergarments and Scarlett O'Hara sock monkeys, are also featured.
"It ('GWTW') is a marketing wonder. It was the first non-children's movie to be heavily merchandised," Welch said.
Many of the items in the exhibit have never been seen by the general public and will likely never be under the same roof again.
A cell phone tour is available to visitors. Most of the cases also include placards containing little-known facts.
A sign in the "Alabama Connections" display notes that actress Tallulah Bankhead was often mentioned as a potential Scarlett.
Producer David O. Selznick suggested that she audition for the role of prostitute Belle Watling. Bankhead was reportedly so insulted that she refused to have anything to do with the film.
An inter-office communication from Selznick Studios concerning Bankhead's teenage cousins is also on display. Original "GWTW" director George Cukor wrote to Selznick, "They are the daughters of Walter Will Bankhead, Jasper, Alabama. Tallulah said they are very pretty and vivacious. She knows nothing else besides this."
Birmingham native Mary "Bebe" Anderson was the only Alabamian in the movie. She raised a Confederate flag over Selznick Studios to signal the start of filming.
Gov. Frank Dixon and his wife represented the state at the Atlanta premiere on Dec. 15, 1939.
Gadsden will be celebrating the 72nd anniversary of the premiere on Thursday by showing the film in two area theaters.
Welch said the Center has hosted a special event each month since the exhibit opened.
The first was an evening with Mickey Kuhn, who played Beau Wilkes and is the last surviving man listed in the movie credits.
Kuhn also bears the distinction of being the only actor to star with Vivien Leigh in both films for which she won Best Actress Oscars, "Gone With The Wind" and "A Streetcar Named Desire."
Fellow child actor Cammie King, who played Bonnie Blue Butler, announced in her 2009 memoir that she planned to attend the exhibit. Unfortunately, she passed away from a cancer occurrence in September 2010.
"She was never really in anything else, so she was not a star except when she came to 'Gone With The Wind' events," Welch said.
In October, four authors of "GWTW" books came to Gadsden to sign autographs and participate in a panel session.
More than 17,000 visitors from 42 states and half a dozen countries have passed through the Center in the past six months.
Welch said the Center has hosted exhibits on the Dead Sea Scrolls and robotic dinosaurs, but nothing has drawn crowds like a 75-year-old love story.
"It just has mass appeal," he said.

OXFORD, MS (RNN) - Mississippi rallied late in the second half but fell short, losing to Mercer 79-76 at home on Sunday.
The Rebels (8-3) played catch-up for almost the entire first half, only tying the Bears (8-4) once in the first three minutes. Mercer led 41-29 at halftime and increased their lead to as many as 16 points in the second. Ole Miss closed the deficit and grabbed a seven-point lead with six minutes left but lost it two minutes later. A 3-pointer by Mercer's Langston Hall in the final seconds helped the Bears escape with the win.
Jarvis Summers led Ole Miss with 21 points. Marshall Henderson added 18.
This was the Rebels' second home loss of the season, previously falling to No. 13 Oregon in overtime on Dec 8.
Ole Miss gets more than a week off before hitting the road to play Western Kentucky on Dec. 30.

This is the new poster for Sex and the City 2, and while I always assumed all posters for this movie would be airbrushed beyond all recognition, I didn't expect them to make Sarah Jessica Parker look so much like a middle-eastern dictator. …That's not the actual plot, is it? Why do her sunglasses reflect the desert? And why are they gold? They have gold aviator shades now? Maybe they're actually blinders, to keep her from getting spooked and kicking one of the grips. Haha, good one, Jay.

The usual scenario involves suspicious glances, inattentive clerks or rude service - not handcuffs.
Yet when a black teen said he was wrongly jailed after buying a $350 belt at a Manhattan luxury store, it struck a nerve in African-Americans accustomed to finding that their money is not necessarily as good as everyone else's. Shopping while black, they say, can be a humiliating experience.
Much attention has been paid to the issue over the years - Oprah Winfrey complained that a Swiss clerk did not think she could afford a $38,000 handbag, and even President Barack Obama has said he was once followed in stores. But according to shoppers interviewed Monday, many people don't recognize how prevalent retail discrimination is, and that small insults add up to a large problem.

Made entirely of leather, the first rod belts strapped around the waist with an ordinary belt buckle. Ideal for tangling with fish on line up to 30-pound test, these small belts functioned merely as rod holders worn on the waist but provided the much-needed protection from gut-wrenching "gimbal-itis." John Imbesi, a 30-year veteran on the tournament circuit from Hatteras to New Jersey, remembers that surf fishermen used belts first, but it didn't take long for offshore fishermen to make the jump. Using them "... was better than letting the rod butt hang in your pants," Imbesi says.
You can still buy leather belts today - they're lightweight and comfortable - but if they're not rinsed after exposure to salt water, the straps deteriorate and can break under pressure. Leather models usually feature internal metal backing plates and molded-plastic cups - with or without gimbal pins. Izorline gets around the leather-belt breaking problem by offering quality leather butt rests with nylon belts. The company also offers a unique "apron style" rod belt that doubles as a utility belt with pockets for a knife, pair of pliers, etc.
A new breed of light-tackle gimbal belts similar in size to the first leather models but made entirely of nylon, plastic and other rot-resistant materials has emerged in recent years. And since a lot of novice anglers end up using these smaller belts, most manufacturers design light-tackle belts to be extremely user friendly. Braid Products' Sailfish Belt features a patented V-shape design with ridges on its plastic face that angle toward the gimbal pin to help anglers guide the rod butt into place without looking. Play Action's Model 350 uses a design similar to Braid's, but its Model 20 features a gimbal cup that holds the rod more securely. It's a little harder for first-timers to get the butt into a cup rather than on a gimbal pin, but once it's in, it stays there, and this helps novices who may lack the dexterity necessary to keep rod pressure centered on a gimbal pin.
Bill White, president of Play Action, conducted an informal test of pressure exerted on an angler's groin while pulling line against 16 pounds of drag on a 50-pound-class stand-up rod. A flat scale placed against the body between the rod butt and abdomen indicated pressure readings of 40 to 50 pounds in a 1-inch-square area.
Belts designed to tackle fish on 30-pound tackle and up are no longer used merely for protection from the gimbal - they've become tools to help anglers subdue fish quickly and comfortably. They're larger than light-tackle belts and worn lower on the abdomen, so rod-butt pressure is transferred to a wider area, giving anglers better leverage on tough fighters such as tuna and small billfish.
The largest gimbal belts on the market can handle 50- to 130-pound-class tackle and are designed to be worn across the thighs. According to Dennis Braid of Braid Products, this position allows the angler to lean back, bend his knees and reach higher up on the rod's foregrip for better leverage. "Once you start fishing with 15 pounds of drag and up, positioning the gimbal halfway between your knees and stomach will allow you to apply the most pressure on the fish with the least amount of effort," Braid says.
For long battles on light tackle, a small-diameter kidney harness may be all that's needed to relieve arm fatigue. Constructed of a padded, plastic-coated material, Braid's 6-inch-wide Marlin Harness provides plenty of support for light-tackle game fish, but its Pro Manta Kidney Harness distributes pulling pressure over a larger area with wider plastic stays. Canyon Product's model H60 kidney belt features a similar design.
Big-game harnesses, made for fighting larger fish on heavier tackle, cover a greater area of the midsection, extending down to and including the buttocks. With these harnesses, the angler can lean back, putting more of his weight into the fight. These big-game harnesses can also be used from a chair. Most have hard plastic stays sewn in to distribute pressure and are used with drop straps, which integrate the gimbal belt to the harness.
The drawback to these bulky harness-and-belt combinations is the many time-consuming adjustments necessary to custom-fit the outfit to each individual angler. A small fish will most likely be in the boat by the time someone helps the angler adjust the gear. Ideally, each angler should have his own harness and belt. Failing this, keep at least one on board that can be called to action when a brawny beast settles in for a long battle.
Some veteran captains who grew up fighting fish in the chair were initially reluctant to give stand-up fishing a try, and many still have reservations about their limits. "It's suicide!" That's what New England tuna captain Bob Pisano says about battling giant tuna with stand-up gear. Pisano has landed more than 1,000 giants in his career and has great respect for their raw power and the accidents that can result.
"If something goes wrong with one of these fish, you're going in the water. I once watched a guy next to us get yanked out of his boat," Pisano explains. "The reel locked up and he cleared the boat without ever touching the outboards." A safety line and pocket knife saved that angler, but Pisano warns that others may not be so lucky.
With this in mind, several harness manufacturers are now incorporating quick-release safety straps into their equipment. Adjustable straps on Play Action's new K-5 Kidney Belt come loose by pulling up and back on the forward edge of the buckles. Braid Products has developed a new quick-release system for their harnesses which, they say, can also be purchased separately to retrofit any make of harness on the market.

---- — We have long thought there is much about life over which one might wish to puzzle. But of late, if what comes through our email and what people tell us in person and what we experience firsthand is any indication, those things over which one might wish to puzzle are on the rise. For example, we recently received an e-mail which stated "...I'm more convinced than ever that local governments are the last bastion of democracy..." Yikes! If this is true we have to wonder why we are going to bother to vote in November as there are only state and federal candidates on the ballot where democracy evidently no longer exists.
Nonetheless, the November election is proceeding as evidenced by any number of postings we have encountered on Facebook. In fact, the political rantings of many of the Facebook postings have led us to hide a number of friends until after the election, including the one who had the following comment posted to her Facebook page: "Yeah we're having a sign war on our block. Right wing (expletive) have signs now!" It was not exactly news we needed to know.
Of course, we were also perplexed when someone mentioned to us, what he saw as rather ironic, that fact that the boardwalk in Lakefront Park is made of what was perceived to be some sort of composition building material as opposed to real wood. And while we would think using 21st century technology to extend the life of the boardwalk while at the same time reducing maintenance to a minimum would make sense, we do think it flies in the face of the seeming goals of the village's Architectural Review and Historic Preservation Board. Of course, we hasten to point out that the boardwalk is in no way historic and thus no doubt does not have to try and preserve any history whatsoever.
We are also puzzling over an aspect of our recent annual check-up at Bassett. The added attraction this year to such a visit is that we were told in no uncertain terms that we had to choose a healthy lifestyle goal which could be duly entered into our electronic medical record. To aid in choosing such a goal we were presented with a list of options, all of which we decided we either already did or were not inclined to do. Of course, we suppose we could have chosen to eliminate sugary drinks if it were not for the fact that we were not completely certain what might fall into that particular category. If it referred to soda, we would have taken that goal in a heartbeat as we try to avoid soda as much as possible. But if it referred to our pineapple juice, which we note has more sugar than soda, we were not interested.
In fact, we weren't interested in the whole thing. But, when we were told we had to do it, we elected to make our healthy lifestyle goal to live to be one hundred because each year when we return for our annual check-up, it will be easy to see that we are still working on our goal. We must say that at the time of our visit to Bassett we thought this new requirement of a healthy lifestyle goal was probably related to some governmental directive. And sure enough, it took very little investigation to discover it is part of some government wellness program which evidently increases the government's reimbursement rates for providers that participate. Democracy may be local, but it seems that health care isn't.
We have also been puzzling of late by what we think is the current pipeline hysteria which produces comments such as "People don't travel to see a pipeline," thus noting the devastating effect the proposed Constitution pipeline might have on the area. And while we would agree that people don't travel to see a pipeline, we have to think that a pipeline will not deter tourists either because if it did we tend to think the country would be pretty much devoid of tourism.
According to our quick online research, the proposed Constitution pipeline would add another 120 miles or so to the already existing 2.4 million miles of pipelines in the country. Of these, 160,868 miles of pipelines carry hazardous liquids while 298,133 miles of pipeline gather natural gas from wells and another 1,848,980 miles of pipelines distribute the natural gas to consumers.
Additionally there are about 55,000 miles of oil pipelines which connect regional markets and another 30,000-40,000 miles of oil pipelines which gather oil from the oil fields.
Thus, we really rather doubt that the construction of a new pipeline is goingto substantially alter the fact that the country is criss-crossed many, many times with existing pipelines. In fact, given what we know about pipelines, we should be much more concerned about the fact that we need to replace aging pipelines, which are the most likely to cause problems, with new pipelines. Thus we find opposition to replacing existing pipelines even more egregious than opposing completely new pipelines.
And finally, perhaps our most puzzling communication of all, was the email we received which informed us that: "Bolivia is to become the first country in the world to give comprehensive legal rights to Earth. It was developed by grassroots social groups and agreed to by politicians in an effort to halt climate change and the exploitation of the natural world, and to improve quality of life for the Bolivian people. Once fully approved, The Law of Mother Earth will provide the Earth with rights to: life and regeneration; biodiversity and freedom from genetic modification; pure water; clean air; naturally balanced systems; restoration from the effects of human activity; and freedom from contamination."
And since we think to accomplish these goals it will be necessary to eliminate the entire population of the world, this undertaking by Bolivia has the potential to interfere severely with our stated healthy lifestyle goal.

The environmental advocacy group Oceana has urged the federal courts to force the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to plug what the organization contends are gaping holes in the groundfish management regimen that includes the "catch shares" format now being used in New England.
But, unlike legal challenges filed by the cities of Gloucester, New Bedford and other fishing interests, Oceana is charging the NOAA system is too lax, allowing bycatch to go unrecorded and overfishing unpenalized.
Bycatch, a byproduct of commercial fishing in a mixed stock system such as the groundfishery of the Northwest Atlantic, represents fish accidentally brought up by fishermen targeting another species, and is one of Oceana's hot button issues; another is trawling.
In a complaint filed with the U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., Oceana alleges that NOAA has failed to meet the requirements of the Magnuson-Stevens Act's 2006 reauthorization which, for the first time, required hard catch limits and "accountability measures" when limits are exceeded.
The complaint was filed soon after the NOAA and its New England Fishery Management Council completed work on Amendment 16, the polarizing management scheme that has merged the catch share system with tight catch limits.
Under the new system, which began May 1, fishermen are allocated "shares" of a total allowable catch for each stock, but are encouraged to buy, sell of trade their shares among themselves or with larger corporations or outside investment interests.
The system has a track record of shifting economic clout into the most powerful hands, while driving out many of the smaller boat businesses. And that system, coupled with many catch limits set well below last year's landings, triggered calls for the Obama administration to acknowledge the crisis and provide additional fish to catch as a form of relief.
Two industry suits unrelated to the Oceana suit, have challenged the government's motives in approving Amendment 16, arguing the system was designed to provide windfalls for the biggest businesses, while converting the fishery into a commodities market that benefits favored and politically influential groups. One of those lawsuits is the one that includes Gloucester and New Bedford as plaintiffs and challenges the legality and constitutionality of Amendment 16
Oceana has remained outside the fight over catch shares and focused on what Dave Allison, its senior campaign director, described as the essential need to "count, cap and control" harvesting of still recovering stocks.
Oceana's complaint contends, "the flawed management plan fails to establish a bycatch monitoring system adequate to track catch for the purpose of complying with catch limits during the fishing season, and fails to impose accountability measures on certain fishing vessels ... so that fishing enterprises have no incentive to stay within the catch limits set for her stocks."
The suit alleges that the bycatch reporting methodology was "not designed for use in a system with enforceable catch limits and accountability measures."
Oceana's complaint focuses on the problems with bycatch of yellowtail flounder in the scallop fishery; the flatfish and the scallops live together, so fishery management plans for scallop assume some degree of bycatch.
The suit notes that the three separate stocks of yellowtail are "seriously depleted" with none of the three — Georges Bank, Southern New England/Massachusetts and Cape Cod/Gulf of Maine — showing a biomass greater than 25 percent of what government science believes is needed to achieve "maximum sustainable yield."
Industry backers have countered that the maximum sustainable yield biomass is unknowable. But Oceana then contends that Amendment 16 fails to even attempt achieving the required control of overfishing by deferring the creation of "accountability measures" for yellowtail flounder bycatch in the scallop fishery "until 2011 and possibly later."
The suit was assigned to Judge Henry H. Kennedy Jr. in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C. A government motion to shift the case to Boston was opposed by Oceana and rejected by the judge.
The two suits from the industry side have been consolidated in the court of Boston U.S. District Judge Rya Zobel, and are scheduled for a hearing in March.
Oceana's celebrity face — on its Web site — is that of the actor Ted Danson, who is a director of the group, along with fellow actor/director Sam Waterston, The organization has been around for less than 10 years, and according to the Form 990 public filing that all 501 (c) 3 non-profits must submit and make public, had assets and liabilities of $23 million in 2008, the most recent year for which its financial information is available.
Oceana was gained visibility via its association and co-sponsorship of the documentary film, "The End of the Line." The film conveys the challenge of sustaining fisheries in apocalyptic terms, with extensive fish blood and slaughter and a dark perspective on commercial interests. Much of the focus was outside the U.S., which has been a leader in effective fisheries management for many years.
"We looked at issues the other enviros weren't focused on," said Allison. "Bycatch and habitat damage are not very sexy but are essential for longterm sustainability."
Although originally launched with money from the Pew Charitable Trusts among other non-profit funders, including the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, Allison said Oceana, which has 24,000 members around the world and 6,000 in the states along the Atlantic coast, no longer receives Pew financial support.
"It's good to become less dependent," Allison said.
Oceana also objected publically last fall to the business practices of the Cape Cod Commercial Hook Fishermen's Association, a small group that argued against trawling, yet in a transactions report on the start of the Amendment 16 regimen based on commodity market principles, was shown to have been leasing quota to big trawlers, largely based in Maine.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. – May 25, 2007 – Jaclyn Alessi and Ashley Martell of Springfield College have been named to the 2007 Intercollegiate Women's Lacrosse Association All-Berkshire Regional 2nd Team.
Alessi and Martell were both senior captains for the Pride. Alessi, a defender, hails from Branford, Conn. Martell, an attacker, is a native of Billerica, Mass. Both helped lead Springfield to an overall record of 10-8. The Pride finished in a tie for third in the New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference regular season with a 3-3 mark, and ultimately lost in the semifinals of the conference tournament to eventual champion Babson.
Martell led Springfield College in all three scoring categories with 44 goals and 28 assists for 72 points. Ashley finished first in the league in assists, second in points, and ninth in goals. She was also first in the league in assists per game (1.56), and third in points per game (4.00). Ashley also had very good totals in three other categories with 26 ground balls, 23 draw controls, and 16 caused turnovers.
As a defender, Alessi had no goals or assists, but she made herself known in other ways. Jaclyn was the only defender to make First Team All-NEWMAC. Alessi's statistics included 42 ground balls (fifth in the league) and 21 caused turnovers (tied for ninth in the league). Her 2.47 ground balls per game were eighth best in the conference.

What It's Made Of: This REAL.BIG. Fathead Wall Graphic is a high definition image made of tough high-grade vinyl that's tear and fade resistant, so you can be assured your eye catching Fathead will stay strong. And if the thought of taking down your Fathead makes you want to cry, don't worry, because it uses a low-tack adhesive that can be moved and reused without any damage to your wall.

Suggested Uses: We know once you've got your brand new, authentic Fathead, you'll be so excited that you'll want to stick it to the first wall you see. But stop for a just a few minutes and make sure you apply it to a clean, smooth, interior surface, because your Fathead loves them and you'll love the way it sticks. We recommend putting it somewhere where everyone can see it since there's no better way to tell everyone you're a fan. Real.Big.

Where Not To Stick It: So we've told you where to put your Fathead but we haven't told you where not to. For those curious folks who may want to try to stick their Real.Big. Fathead in clever places like on the sidewalk or on your Dad's car, you may want to rethink your decorating because to be honest, it won't stick or stay for very long. Fatheads do not like textured or bumpy surfaces. When we say you should put it on an interior surface, we don't recommend putting it in your garage unless you have one of those fancy, finished, heated garages. Fatheads don't like the cold, but who would want to leave their poor Fathead in the cold anyway? Lastly, you don't want your Fathead to stick to itself, let's just put it this way, your Fathead will not let go without a fight. The best way to prevent this is to grab a friend or two and have them help you put up your Fathead. Then you get to show it off that much sooner.

Draft offering at troegs. The brew pours a clear orange color with white spotty lace that sticks to the glass.
The smell includes a surprising amount of sulfur. Some herbs, cheese and grass also come into play. As it warms up, it gets lightly fruity with some rind element.
The flavor is more focused with bitter and rindy hop charater accented with citrus grass and herbs. A clean toasty malt backing sits underneath.
While the nose suggested this was going to be a trainwreck, the flavor brought it back together. It is a medium bodied brew with a modest amount of carbonation. Quite smooth and easy drinking, just the nose seems out of place on this. Still worth a shot to try if you get the chance...which by now is probably too late considering how fast Scratch beers dissolve.

Poured from a growler into an IPA glass
Light yellow, slightly golden. Completely transparent with bubbles continuously rising from the bottom of the glass. Moderate head with light retention.
Smells strongly of tar. Also notes of blue cheese, grass, and pollen.
The taste is spicy upfront, but with swallow mellows quickly. Flavors of honey grace the tongue initially, followed by strong grassy notes.
Medium bodied overall, with moderate carbonation. I don't think more would have hurt.
Overall not the most exciting beer by any means, or palatable for me due to the tar-like nose. Though it was nice to try this special hop variety in this single hopped beer.

On-tap in the tasting room, enjoyed over 20 minutes.
A slightly hazy copper-amber glows in the bulb of the glass--largely translucent. Sudsy head with rather good retention and patchy lacing. Fine rising carbonation feeds the head for almost an entire glassful.
The scent of tarry pine is strong and embracing. There's a bitter cheesy funk that emerges from underneath mangoes, honeydew, and orange with standing and warmth. It's a little off kilter in the nose as many single-hopped brews can be and is more pleasant cold. The malts don't quite keep in in balance.
The taste begins with a thin, almost acidity bitter edge that washes away fast into rather subdued grass with a malty caramel chew. The taste of pitch is reunited with the forward nose about a third of the way through each gulp and holds on the rest of the way. Caramel sweetness finds its way through in the aftertaste--waiting until the hop abates. All this complexity is actually more enjoyable when kept tight at low temperatures recently poured, as opposed to aerated and warmed.
The mouthfeel is oily-slick all the way as soon as the initial bump of carbonation passes. It's a bit more sharply metallic in the lingual gutters than I'd like, but still quaffable.
This showcase of a hop doesn't earn a rave review, but I have no objections to such a creation with its cahritable inspiration.

Served on-tap at the brewery. First things first, I am sticking with their initial description of this one being a single hop pale ale and not an IPA like the board at the brewery says.
A - Pours slightly hazy copper orange with a soapy one finger tall white head leaving spotty trails of lace down parts of the glass. Quite nice looking.
S - Smells of fresh cut grass, pine, mild caramel and toffee sweetness and some dulled tropical fruitiness. Rather mild initially but it starts to liven up as it warms up, becoming quite nice toward the end of the glass.
T - Starts off with a nice citric hop bite that fades away quickly leaving hints of pine resin, fresh cut grass and the caramel and toffee sweetness from the crystal malt. Finish is still pretty hoppy with a bit of sweetness mixed in, lingering on the palate long after the finish.
M - Medium-Full body with moderate carbonation. Smooth, hoppy feel from start to finish. It has plenty of flavors going on yet it is still easy to consume, very nice.
O - A solid all around single hop beer. I wouldn't say any part of it is remarkable in any way but my glass disappeared rather quickly and I wouldn't hesitate to get another. Cheers to a good cause!!!

Edwin Jackson is one of the better free-agent pitchers remaining on the open market. So it is perhaps no surprise to see this tweet from Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports:
Sources: E. Jackson has multiple three-year offers. Also could take one-year deal, go back on market next off-season.
The tweet doesn't indicate which teams have made these offers, though Jackson has been linked to the Orioles and Red Sox, as well as his former team, the Cardinals. Rosenthal added:
Hamels, Greinke likely at top of 2012-13 FA class if #SFGiants extend Cain. Jackson, 28, could further enhance value with strong year.
Thus, Rosenthal appears to agree with Baseball Nation's Marc Normandin, who suggested just yesterday that Jackson might be better off taking a one-year deal:
Rather than spend the next four years in Baltimore, a team more desperate for Jackson than Jackson is desperate for work, he can afford to sign with the Red Sox or Cardinals on a one-year deal, given the newly-opened rotation spots that will be there for him come 2013. There will be competition for those gigs, but they will also be plentiful. Scott Boras knows what he's doing if Jackson shoots down a larger offer for a one-year stay of free agency.
Spring training begins in less than four weeks; whatever decision Jackson makes, it is likely to come soon.

With the majority of the 2010-11 season completed, we ask just who has proven to be the best off-season pickup by the Tampa Bay Lightning?
The "Summer of Stevie" is over, in Tampa. Here are five questions for writer Mike Corcoran about the Lightning, and where things go from here.
Since the start of fan confidence polling, teh Lighning have scored 53, 59, and 77%. Is Lightning fan confidence really this high, or is this just an aberration?
He's called a lot of things, nickname wise, but Marty St. Louis is the heart and soul of the Lightning. News is St. Louis is growing disgruntled with all the losing, and may seek a trade depending...

After undergoing a total makeover, the C-USA is back with a new look featuring several upper-echelon teams that have a serious chance to claim the conference's automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament.
When East Carolina's football team left Conference USA last week, its other sports teams lost their home. Could they end up fighting it out in the Colonial? CAA commissioner Tom Yeager hasn't said no.
There is no doubting the talent on Memphis' roster, but the engine that made them go last season -- Will Barton -- is off in the NBA. Now it is a question of if and when that talent will develop to...
CBS' Jeff Goodman landed the first interview with Central Florida's Keith Clanton to talk about why the senior stayed with the Knights. Clanton talks about the re-recruiting and his decision process during his free agency. As we talked said after his decision, Clanton could help the Knights stay with Memphis at the top of Conference USA, and he has NBA aspirations and a good shot at getting some looks this summer. Sounds like Clanton is on the same page: "We can still win the regular-season title," Clanton said. "And play for pride. That's important, along with my hopes to play at the next level."
Continuing the series of the best 10 players in each conference for the coming season, we turn to Conference USA. With Memphis and Houston leading the way, who has the best players taking the floor?
The decision to keep Old Dominion and Georgia State out of Colonial Championship events is the right one for the conference. Or is it?
early move to #CUSA for #ODU? "I don't see that as a viable option," says AD Wood Selig.— Ed Miller (@edmillervp) June 19, 2012
According to a tweet by Ed Miller of the Virginian-Pilot, Old Dominion's AD Wood Selig has said that an early jump to Conference USA is unlikely. Going to be a long season for a lot of Monarch athletes.

Have you started your online business but feeling a bit overwhelmed trying to do all the daily operating tasks that need to be done as well as marketing your site? It's not easy and certainly not a one-person job, which is why you might consider a virtual executive assistant to help you with all those daily tasks you struggle to carry out. Moreover, many of these assistants are also trained in Internet marketing, so you can make this part of their job duties and get two benefits that can truly help grow your business.
The virtual executive assistant is a relatively new career field that many people have begun to follow because it allows them to work from their home office and not have to fight daily traffic getting to and from a traditional secretarial job. In addition, because the virtual secretary is still being fine-tuned since it is such a new position, it allows people to branch out from secretarial work to marketing and other more interesting ventures that were simply not available working in an office setting.
For companies, hiring a virtual executive assistant or using them as a contractor is an effective way to save money. Many online companies have assistants that work all over the world and often these people never meet face-to-face thanks to the amazing technological tools available today. By having them do marketing, they can help boost traffic to your website and even begin target marketing; getting traffic to your site that was specifically targeted and looking for the product or service you are selling.
A Virtual Executive Assistant can handle newsletters, another great marketing tool, in addition to their other duties. And don't forget about social media, these avenues are an excellent free way to get traffic to your site. Your assistant can set up a Facebook page and of course, have a link back to your website. You can have your assistant update the page daily so that it is always active and professional. Before long, you will see an increased flow of traffic, more sales, and you will wonder how you ever got along without your new Virtual Assistant.
Finally, do your homework when selecting a Virtual Executive Assistant to work with your company. Many experienced virtual assistants will have a standard fee, so keep this in mind when you are hunting for someone who can assist you in growing your online business.

WHITING — The state will perform two courses of aerial pesticide spraying in Whiting in the coming days in a pre-emptive strike to combat Eastern equine encephalitis.
Vermont Health Commissioner Dr. Harry Chen announced the move on Tuesday, saying that mosquito pools in Whiting are continuing to test positive for the EEE virus. The first positive tests were discovered Aug. 9. Since then, health officials have started testing twice a week and the news is not good.
WHITING — Eastern equine encephalitis, the new normal, is back.
For the second consecutive summer, the EEE virus has been detected in area mosquitoes, and health officials are urging vigilance against mosquito bites.
Editor's note: This story has been updated since it was originally posted on Aug. 9 to add information about more West Nile virus found in the county.
ADDISON COUNTY — Eastern equine encephalitis (EEE) virus has been detected in a mosquito pool collected on Aug. 1 from the Whiting area in southern Addison County, the Vermont Department of Health reported on Friday.
BRANDON — The last of three Eastern Equine Encephalitis virus (EEE) research study clinics will be held this Wednesday, May 29, from noon to 7 p.m. at the Whiting Town Hall.
The first two clinics, held in April and early May at the Brandon Senior Center and Sudbury Town Hall, were well attended. A total of 316 volunteers have donated blood samples that will be tested for antibodies to EEE.
BURLINGTON — The Vermont Department of Health is calling for volunteers to participate in a research study that will test blood samples from residents living in Brandon, Sudbury and Whiting for antibodies to the Eastern equine encephalitis (EEE) virus.
The Health Department wants to learn if many people have been infected with EEE virusbut did not get sick. Individual test results will not be shared with participants. All information collected during the study will be confidential.
BURLINGTON — The Vermont Department of Health is calling for volunteers to participate in a research study that will test blood samples from residents living in Brandon, Sudbury and Whiting for antibodies to the Eastern equine encephalitis (EEE) virus.
BRANDON/WHITING/SUDBURY — The Vermont Department of Health late this month and next will hold three clinics locally to collect human blood samples that will be tested in a new study of Eastern equine encephalitis, or EEE.
WHITING — State health officials hope to conduct blood tests on area residents and determine how many people may possess the Eastern equine encephalitis antibodies without ever having gotten sick. That's the message from a series of three public information meetings they held in the area to update residents in the wake of the first two human cases of EEE over the summer.
Depending on funding, there is also a plan to expand mosquito surveillance next year and hire additional field assistants to help gather samples.

What is it all about?
In case you hadnÆt worked it out, voga is a cross between yoga and voguing ¢ the 1980s New York drag scene dance craze, which was introduced to the mainstream by Madonna. Voga was thought up by Juliet Murrell, a former film industry art director, who wanted to bring a cardiac workout to yoga. According to the website, it combines ōthe expressive moves of a dance class with the breath-synchronised movement of yoga.ö
Tell me more about voga.
Maybe 80s beats are exactly what yoga has been missing these past two millennia, but first thoughts are that it seems like yet another yoga gimmick ¢ like dog yoga (ōdogaö), baby yoga and laughter yoga. Having said that, with their unusual contortions and focus on ōstriking a poseö, yoga and voguing do have marked similarities.
Reading this on mobile? Click here to view the video
WhatÆs so good about it?
A common complaint about yoga is that itÆs boring ¢ voga is many things but boring is not one of them. It is actually really good fun ¢ especially if you embrace the 80s vibe and wear fluorescent pink leggings, leopard-print leotard and leg warmers, which I may or may not have done. The hour felt like 15 minutes, yet left my arms aching as if I had done serious weight training. Despite feeling sweaty, pale and slightly sick, I was smiling throughout.
What are the downsides?
Fans of more traditional types of yoga might object to the lack of deep stretch poses and after such a hard workout, a good stretch would have been helpful. The class also left out everybodyÆs favourite part of yoga, Savasana ¢ or the bit where you lie on the floor at the end ¢ and I could have done with a bit of that too.
Perfect if ģ
You require your exercise to be fun, and are partial to zumba or other dance fitness classes. DJ Alex Gromadzki is responsible for the playlist, which ranges from Diana Ross to Chic, so a love of classic dance tracks is also required.
Best avoided if ģ
You are a hipster-hater or a dedicated yogi. If you take your yoga very seriously, voga may enrage you.
What more do I need to know?
Voga can currently only be enjoyed in London, but Murrell plans to bring it to other lucky parts of the UK and the world. At the time of writing she is introducing voga to South America. Classes are an hour long, cost Ż10 in advance and Ż12 on the door and are held in various East London studios.
The words yoga and voguing fuse together in such a satisfying manner that it was probably only a matter of time before voga became a thing. ItÆs hard to tell how long it will remain ōa thingö, but itÆs fun, so give it a try it before it goes the way of baby yoga and dog yoga.

Ever since my TOMS slippers post from a few weeks ago, I've had a number of people volunteer their TOMS flags for crafting! So thank you to those of you that have! This one was my first volunteered flag, from my good friend Katie.
I decided that I wanted to do something with it, that maybe she could use! Since she is with her husband in England right now, I didn't want to send anything that she would have to deal with coming back this summer. A luggage tag seemed like the perfect solution!
You can make about 3 luggage tags out of a flag, depending on how you make them. I made one where you slide in an information card. And the 2nd one is a tag designed simply to locate your luggage. I also changed it up, where one is made completely from a flag, strap and all. And the other is made with an elastic piece for the strap. So there is flexibility here! This doesn't have to be made out of a toms flag either. I liked the thicker canvas fabric, but its really up to you! I'm sure there are WAY better tutorials out there. But as I've said before...sewing isn't really my thing. So I just make it up as I go!
So you need a couple of pieces.
A think piece of fabric, for a strap (or you can use elastic)
A piece twice as wide as you want the tag to be
And if you want a pocket, a piece for the pocket.
(or you can skip the pocket and just use it as a way to identify your luggage)
Here I am cutting 2 tags. I made it twice as wide by deciding how large I wanted it, and folding it over and then cut it!
Skinny pieces are for straps
I'll try to show each step. (but I' terrible at explaining anything sewing! sorry!)
First the strap- you want to hem this.
Sew it together, just not the top

An organic diet for kids may not be worth the extra money.
A new report from the American Academy of Pediatrics found no evidence that organic foods offer any extra nutritional value over conventionally grown foods.
Pediatricians say both types of food offer the same amount of vitamins, antioxidants, and proteins.
Doctors say what's most important is that parents feed their children a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and low-fat dairy products.

12 oz bottle.
A - Poured into a tulip glass, a dark brownish black with a thin hanging lace.
S - Funk, chocolate, citrus, smoke
T - Nuts, chocolate, smoke, hop bitterness on the finish.
M - Somewhat thin. Viscous.
O - I understand they are trying to stretch boundries, which I respect. The finish and aftertaste is slightly off, but with time I may appreciate it. Draw your own conclusions on this one.

Pours a deep brown with a hint of red showing thru when held up to the light with a creamy head that settles into a soapy-like finish.Big roasted malt hits the nose as well as some nuttiness and just a hint of cocoa,smells big and bold.Taste is also of deep roasted malt and earth,with some sweetness coming on more as I drink the hops dont come into play much u can tell they are there but not overly done.A big robust porter full of complexities very well done from Avery.

Super dark brown body, not quite opaque. Light tan head. Fluffy 3/4" initially but reduced to a thin layer of dense bubbles. Laces beautifully by grabbing all over the glass. Very nice for a porter.
Nice aroma of chocolate with some bittersweet notes a touch of toffee and fainting hints of black coffee. Overall solid, simple and inviting. First off I note the body and carbonation when I taste this first, fairly full bodied and crisp with carbonation. Coats the mouth well and the flavor lingers. Flavor comes on as bittersweet chocolate again and then to a toffee in the end. A little sweetness and a bit of roasted bitterness in the end. Nicely done. Really reminds me of the chocolate coating on those Riesin candies I used to eat.
Overall good drinkability, nicely flavored porter with a good mouthfeel.

A - Pours dark brown with one finger of light brown head.
S - Subtle roasted malts and chocolate, but a pleasant aroma.
T - Taste is very roasty malts and a decent hop bitterness. Some coffee and chocolate notes, but those are pretty subtle. Actually a little more hoppy that I would prefer, but still tasty.
M - Medium mouthfeel with good carbonation. Finishes earthy and dry.
O - Solid porter. More intense roasted malt than some of my favorite porters, but still quite good.

The New World Porter poured an opaque midnight black. It had a monstrous brown head that had good staying power and laced the glass.
The aroma is chocolate and fruity hops with a touch of fig.
The taste is chocolate malt, with some big bitter hops, and a hint of citrus. Some figs come out as the beer warms. It has a strong burnt, chalky, slightly metallic taste/mouthfeel that mellows some with time. If not for this, this would be a top notch brew.
Overall this is a very different/interesting brew. It's kind of an IPA and porter mix.

I was not hugely impressed with this beer. It looked nice in the glass; uneven head up top, opaque dark brown down below. There were nice coffee flavors up front, with a definite hop taste on the finish. It's a little unusal for a porter and might take some getting used to.

Once again...thanks to Downtown Wine & Spirits for bringing in these.
Pours a dark black w/ a dark tan two finger head...top notch lacing going on as the head settles, but never fades.
For me, the unusual experience of smelling hops first off in a Porter is happily greeted. You just know there will be plenty of other things going on to balance this beer out.
Dark chocolates and butter rum aromas on the surface as well.
The taste is a bitter, yet mellow burst of coffee and malt takes over. Again, a touch of hops, but I would not consider this beer to be overly hoppy by any means. The mouthfeel is decent...maybe a bit thin for its style. The aftertaste is also a bit bitter, but does not linger...very refreshing. Easily a session brew in my opinion...another keeper from Avery.

The beer pours a dark brown color with red highlights and a tan head. The aroma is roasted malt and piney hops. The beer smells very hoppy for a porter.
The flavor is heavy on the pine with some roasted malt and chocolate mixed in. Medium bitterness. This beer may be listed as a porter, but I think it is a Black IPA all the way. Very enjoyable.
Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation.

Aroma has a nice citrusy hop scent with a bit of coffee-like roastedness. Head was nice and foamy tan, not quite beige like some black ales have. Taste is pretty roasted but well balanced with hops. The malts don't tasted debittered so I felt like it tasted more like a porter like the name implies rather than a "pioneer Black IPA" as the label also states... Overall excellent full-bodied black ale with a nice coffee roasted malt flavor with just a hint of citrusy and piney hops, not too heavy which is nice for a black ale.

Pours black with a good tan head. Aroma of chocolate and toffee, with some caramel and malt. Taste is interesting. Loads of coffee and chocolate, but the hops give the finish an earthy, almost peaty character. Kind of like someone dropped a shot of Islay scotch into the keg. Creamy mouthfeel makes this a nice little beer and pushes it up a few notches.

New World Porter opens with a surprisingly hoppy nose, ripe with grapefruit, lemon, and touches of pine resin, and at first blush bears little resemblance to a porter, and much more to an IPA. After a few seconds the initial hop aromas fade slightly, revealing a much darker malt base rich with coffee, cream, baking whole wheat bread, and thick molasses. Touches of ash and pepper add a bit of spark, mixed in with a not-insubstantial dollop of caramel. As a whole, the nose is quite nice, bearing excellent aromas in well-balanced proportions. But even with the darker malt aromas at the most present, this beer still does not smell like a porter. The hops are simply too present in their pink grapefruit goodness, providing a strange introduction. Perhaps much of the problem here lies in the name, for while the beer is labeled a "porter" in its title, a small note on the side of the label denotes it as a "Black IPA"—something I didn't notice until the strong hop aromas made me read the bottle more carefully.
On the tongue, the initial flavors are hops, rushing forward in grapefruit, lemon, mint, and pine resin with somewhat unbalanced strength. I say this because the malts prove a little difficult to locate against the hop onslaught, and only touches of coffee, ash, brown sugar, cream, and caramel make their way through. There is still a good bit of baking bread, however, and apricot fruit esters add a lovely sugary note. The aftertaste is, at first, a continuation of the bright, citrusy grapefruit and lemon hop notes, though after a while a runnel of ash makes it way through, providing for an interesting experience. Mouthfeel is a slightly watery medium-light, and carbonation is medium.
Overall, while I quite liked the hop flavors in here, there simply weren't enough of the darker, malty notes--certainly not enough to satisfy this drinker's craving for a Black IPA. Without this label--i.e. if I were drinking this blind--the beer would actually be quite good, and I would simply assume I was partaking in a good IPA with some light touches of ash. But the contrast confuses my tongue, as does the slightly watery mouthfeel. So while there is much to appreciate in this brew, I think its labeling doesn't work. Drink it as a straight IPA, then, and enjoy.

3oz sample at the Spagio Cellars' October Beer Social. The color nearly opaque very dark brown, with patches of mahogany near the bottom. The head fluffy and off-white.
The nose is filled with chocolate, cocoa, and rich coffee. The taste offers more of the same, along with smoky notes, a touch of caramel, a little coffee bitterness, and a flourish of hops.
It's well balanced, medium-bodied yet creamy, with a dry finish. Drinkable for the style. I dig it.
