À La Carte Excursions | General Information
Add To Plan
Accompanied by your chef from the Bon Appétit Culinary Center, you'll tour a traditional winery in the Tuscan countryside and then retire to the estate's kitchen, where you'll learn to cook two regional snacks in a wood oven: focaccia and cantucci, and sample Tuscan wines.
Meet your Bon Appétit Culinary Center chef and then join a local guide for the short ride to Livorno's central town market. The market features many colorful stalls, brimming with seasonal vegetables, fresh fish, cured meats and fragrant cheeses. You'll stroll amongst family farmers and merchants, soak in market's vibrant atmosphere and perhaps take some photos of this genuine Tuscan experience. Your chef will purchase local bread, ham and cheese for you to taste.
Continuing on, it's a picturesque drive through the Tuscan countryside en route to the pristine Torre a Cenaia winery, approached via a stunning cyprus-lined lane, so classic in the fertile farmlands of Tuscany. Owned by the Pitti family, this quintessential property has been maintained to retain the look and feel of a traditional Tuscan winery. As you drive along, you may see pheasant flushed from the fields or a wild hare scampering into the brush.
Once at the winery, you'll first visit the estate's cellars and discover how the wines are now produced. The Sangiovese grape thrives here, producing a fruity red varietal that's one of the favorites throughout Tuscany. The equally robust, amber-yellow Vermentino grape produces a fine, dry white wine that's often paired with fish dishes and vegetable stews of Tuscany.
For a real treat and a closer look at how the grapes are grown, you'll ride in a horse -drawn trolley into the vineyards and wind along past the estate's ponds and horse paddocks to the outdoor kitchen and ovens. You'll be greeted by the winery's friendly chef, from whom you'll learn how to prepare two traditional Tuscan snacks in a wood-fired oven. First, focaccia , the salty fluffy bread drizzled with Tuscan olive oil and second, cantucci, the almond-flavored biscuit known as biscotti. If time permits, you'll also make fresh pizza in the wood-fuelled brick and stone ovens. Hot from the oven, these Tuscan snacks taste even better when accompanied by a glass of wine.
Following your time at Torre a Cenaia, you'll transfer back to the ship.
Please note: This tour includes approximately 2-hours of easy to moderate walking/standing and participants must be able to enter and exit the horse cart with limited assistance. The tour is not available for wheelchair guests and those with mobility concerns are cautioned to carefully evaluate their personal level of stamina and ability. Weather appropriate clothing; sun cap; sunglasses; and flat, comfortable walking shoes are recommended.

Bond was set Thursday morning for two suspects accused of killing a 19-year-old man.
Dashawn Wheeler, 19, showed up at Children's Hospital Medical Center on Jan. 30 suffering from a gunshot wound. He was pronounced dead upon arrival.
Early Wednesday morning, the Cincinnati Police Fugitive Apprehension Team arrested Lavon Oden, 25, and Curtis Boston, 18. Both are charged with aggravated murder. According to Hamilton County court documents, Boston took Wheeler's car keys while Oden held him at gunpoint.
Police determined that Wheeler was shot while he was sitting in a car in the 900 block of Burton Avenue. Cincinnati Police Chief James Craig says he believes Wheeler was not involved in any criminal activity.
Oden and Boston are being held at the Hamilton County Detention Center. Their bonds were set at $1 million during an arraignment on Thursday.

From the mat to the office, it's beatiful and peaceful anywhere Review by JinxMax
Overall Rating
What sets this piece apart is it picks up other colors and reflects them back with a blueish hue. I wanted a simple mala but one that I could wear everyday. Other's are too loud, too long, and not substantial. This mala is gorgeous, easy to wear with anything, and because it looks like it's constantly changing colors, I can't keep my eyes off of it and often find that focusing on it can help me meditate. It's gorgeous -- I had been looking at it for awhile and finally decided that it would be my new years gift to myself. Worth every penny!!! And the customer service from Buddha Groove cannot be beat!

She claims that she was drinking with friends at a River North nightclub on the night of Sept. 29 when she met Castro.
Sources say she and a friend left the bar at 3 a.m. and went to the 21-year-old Castro's apartment on State Street nearby.
According to the police report, the alleged victim said she blacked out.
She told police she came to, and found the alleged offender – Castro, according to our sources – sexually assaulting her.
The heavily redacted police report offers little information.
It says that when she woke up she screamed and yelled at her alleged attacker, and left the apartment at about 5:30 a.m. getting a ride home from her friend.
The article goes on to say that police were contacted, but by that time, Castro had left the USA for his offseason home in the Dominican Republic.
There are no other details at this time. The report says that neither Castro's agent Paul Kinzer, the Cubs, nor Chicago police will make any further comment. At this time, no charges have been filed.

Sunday's game between the Baltimore Ravens and San Diego Chargers in San Diego will be blacked out on television in California. Aaron Wilson of Ravens Insider reported on Twitter on Thursday that roughly 9,000 tickets were still available.
The game will still be shown in Maryland and other local markets on CBS. The NFL reserves the right to black out markets that don't sell out home games 72 hours prior to the game's kickoff.
It would seem fans in San Diego have grown disenchanted with a team that perpetually performs below expectations. The Chargers currently rank 25th in the NFL in attendance per game, drawing an average of 61,634 fans per game, or about 86.5 percent capacity. That ranking will likely go down should the Chargers continue to play poorly and miss the playoffs once again.
The Baltimore Ravens (8-2) and San Diego Chargers (4-6) are set to kick off at 4:05 p.m. ET on Sunday.

A bilingual officer ordered the man, in both English and Spanish, to drop his knife and surrender to police. He didn't do it and eventually lunged at one of the officers.
Police said two officers fired at the suspect, who was hit at least once in the abdomen. He was rushed to the hospital and his condition is unknown at this hour.

HELLAM—It's not the other shoe, there's just one.
And it took 20 pounds of flour, a lot of paint and paper mache to make Hellam's New Year's Eve shoe that it will drop at midnight on New Year's Eve.
Volunteers have been working on this labor of love for over two and a half weeks. Organizers say they wanted to drop something that represents what Hellam is known for. They modeled the shoe after Hellam's famous Shoe House that sits just off of Route 30.
The shoe is 8 feet long, 9 1/2 feet high adn is about 4 feet wide.
Steve Dellinger came up with the idea when he and his wife wanted to stay local for New Years and realized Hellam didn't have anything to drop.
"It's a good feeling to know that we can hopefully start what I hope will be a tradition that will carry on for many years," says Dellinger.
The shoe will drop at midnight at Trinity United Church of Christ on East Market Street in Hellam.

PARIS (AP) -- Eden Hazard scored his 12th league goal of the season and set up two more from corners as Lille thrashed Valenciennes 4-0 on Sunday to strengthen its hold on third place in the French league.
Hazard, who is expected to play in the Premier League next season, was in fine form in a one-sided game that could have finished with an even heavier defeat for Valenciennes.
"The way we played was shameful. We didn't manage to put three passes together," Valenciennes captain David Ducourtioux said. "We were rubbish, that's all. You have to be honest."
Dimitri Payet gathered the ball in midfield and passed to Hazard, who let the ball run through his legs to Tulio De Melo.
The Brazilian forward did brilliantly to flick it back into Hazard's path, and Hazard controlled the ball with his left before pushing it onto his right and curling the ball under goalkeeper Nicolas Penneteau.
Florent Balmont could have made it 2-0 but his shot was kicked away by Penneteau, and De Melo poked his shot wide after running onto a looping pass over the defense as Lille totally dominated the first half.
Lille made it 2-0 in the 57th when 18-year-old left back Lucas Digne's cross, destined for De Melo, was turned into his own net by defender Benjamin Angoua.
Aurelien Chedjou headed in his fifth goal of the season from Hazard's corner in the 69th, and De Melo nodded in from another identical corner from Hazard with seven minutes to go.
Lille is seven points behind second-place Montpellier and nine adrift of French leader Paris Saint-Germain, but has a three-point cushion over fourth-place Toulouse.
"We've dropped a lot of points in recent weeks, and we really needed to win tonight," De Melo said.
Toulouse earlier beat Rennes 1-0 with an own goal from defender Romain Danze to climb to fourth place, while Sochaux moved off the bottom of the table after beating fellow strugglers Nice 2-0.
Toulouse scored just before the break when striker Emmanuel Riviere's shot hit Danze's leg and looped over stranded goalkeeper Benoit Costil. Rennes striker Jires Kembo-Ekoko missed two good chances to equalize for the home side and Toulouse held on for the win.
"You dream about third place, but we're not going to think about it," Toulouse captain Daniel Congre said after his team's third straight away win. "We just have to keep going the way we are without putting ourselves under pressure."
Rennes is in seventh place, two points behind Saint-Etienne and Lyon.
"You can't fall behind against this kind of team. Our teamwork wasn't there and we lost the midfield battle," Antonetti said. "They were stronger than us. Toulouse deserved to win."
Striker Edouard Butin gave Sochaux the lead on the stroke of halftime with his sixth goal of the season, and midfielder Marvin Martin scored midway through the second half as Sochaux leapfrogged over Auxerre.
Auxerre, which sacked manager Laurent Fournier on Sunday morning, is now in last place. Former Lens coach Jean-Guy Wallemme was chosen to replace Fournier.
On Saturday, PSG scraped a 2-2 draw away to Caen thanks to an injury-time equalizer, but still moved two points clear at the top of the standings after second-place Montpellier lost 1-0 at Nancy.
Rennes could have taken fourth place with a win, but coach Frederic Antonetti's side labored against the well-organized Toulouse.
Winger Jonathan Pitroipa caused most of the problems for Toulouse's defense in a better second half. He twice set up Kembo-Ekoko, but the striker poked his first effort wide and goalkeeper Ali Ahamada smothered his next effort.
As Rennes pushed forward, Kembo-Ekoko missed another chance, and Toulouse almost added a second through midfielder Etienne Didot.
Sochaux, winning for the second straight match since former coach Mehmed Bazdarevic was sacked, took the lead with a well-worked goal.
David Sauget's raking cross-field pass was expertly taken down by right back Sebastien Corchia and he passed neatly to Vincent Nogueira, whose cross to the near post was turned in by Butin before goalkeeper David Ospina could react.
Martin made it 2-0 in the 68th with his first goal since the opening game of the season.
Martin, who scored twice on his France debut at Ukraine last June, skipped past right back Francois Clerc and curled a shot past Ospina.

Doctoral Mentor Award Winners Lauded by Students and Colleagues Alike
Old Dominion University's first Doctoral Mentor Awards were presented at the faculty awards night Tuesday, May 6, to John Ford, professor of marketing; Stacey Plichta, chair of the College of Community and Environmental Health; Ravindra Joshi, University Professor of electrical and computer engineering; and Lepsha Vuskovic, professor of physics. Each received a plaque and a $3,000 prize.
Philip Langlais, the vice provost for graduate studies and research, and who was responsible for establishing the award, said students and faculty members submitted 31 nominations. A committee composed of the university's associate deans selected 12 finalists and then narrowed the list down to the four winners, who represented the four eligibility categories: social and behavioral sciences, business and public administration; humanities and fine arts, education and health sciences; engineering and life and physical sciences.
Essays about mentoring submitted by the nominees will be published on the Office of Graduate Studies Web site, Langlais said.
Here is more about the winners:
John Ford, a faculty member since 1985, was described by a student: "He has been my role model in terms of having extremely high ethical standards of honesty and integrity in teaching and researching, and clear and honest communications with others. I aspire to be as thoughtful of a mentor to my students as he has been to me and my fellow ODU alumni and current students as well as to others in the field." Added a colleague, "He is always available to his students and I frequently see him discussing research projects with them. He is a demanding professor who has high expectations and pushes his students to reach their full potentials as scholars."
Stacey Plichta, a faculty member since 1995, got high marks from students and former students. One wrote: "In many aspects, Dr. Plichta served as my role model. I aspire to emulate her professionalism, character, and the rapport she had with her students." Plichta wrote in her essay: "Mentorship, at its heart, is about forming a strong, trusting and on-going relationship with those we seek to teach. In part, it is to ground them in the fundamental values and skills of our discipline, but there is also an inherent value in the relationship itself. Mentorship is about focusing on the whole student, not just their academic progress, and about letting the student know that we truly care about their professional and personal development."
Ravindra Joshi, a faculty member since 1995, was praised by a student: "I have been with the electrical and computer engineering department for the last six years, and there is no other faculty member that has influenced me with their positive attributes as much as Dr. Joshi. Mentoring awards, apart from honoring the pedagogical excellence, also recognize the ability of a faculty to step above and beyond the official obligations and do his/her utmost in guiding and nurturing the students to new levels. There is no one else in this university who to my knowledge embodies these qualities so completely." A colleague wrote: "He expects much from his students, mentoring and educating them within the classroom and beyond, and displays a spirit of genuine eagerness to help students grasp difficult concepts."
Lepsha Vuscovic, a faculty member since 1993, was praised by a student: "Because of her professional achievements and great care for her students, her research group has always been able to attract the top students to her Ph.D. program. I still remember how proud I was to be in her program and how disappointed some other students were since they couldn't get in due to the limited openings for research assistants." A colleague wrote: "She has dedicated herself to her students, far beyond what is required, and stands out as an exceptional mentor, not just for her own students, but for all the students in the Physics Department."
Other finalists were: Frank Day and Mark Butler, biological sciences; Vijayan Asari, electrical and computer engineering; Chuh Mei, aerospace engineering; Luisa Igloria, English; Linda Bol, curriculum and instruction; Debra Major, psychology; and Berhanu Mengistu, urban studies and public administration.

Cranley to Talk Long-Term Unemployment at White House
Mayor explains initiatives as he prepares for meeting with president
Mayor John Cranley plans to address the city's long-term unemployment problems with a set of new initiatives, some of which could get support from the White House, he told CityBeat Thursday.One of the initiatives is in direct response to President Barack Obama's call, heard by millions during the State of the Union Tuesday, to get private companies on board with ending discrimination against the long-term unemployed.Specifically, Cranley says he helped get Procter & Gamble and other local companies to agree to join the president's initiative."It wasn't that hard to sell them on it, but they've got a lot of things going on," Cranley says. "Getting their attention and focus on these things is one of the great powers that I have. I can help ask people to give back in ways they just haven't thought of before."With a visit to the White House planned for Friday, Cranley hopes his quick response to Obama's call could help the city land future federal grants for programs that address long-term unemployment.As an example, Cranley points to a new White House initiative that asks cities to develop innovative pilot programs that help the long-term unemployed. The initiative will award federal grants, which Cranley estimates at a couple million dollars per city, to the 10 best proposals.In preparation, the city is partnering with several local organizations, including the Workforce Investment Board and United Way of Greater Cincinnati, to develop a unique plan. How the city's proposal looks ultimately depends on the constraints set by the application requirements, but Cranley cited more educational opportunities and subsidies for companies that hire the long-term unemployed as two examples cities might undertake.The proposal, however it looks, would come in addition to Cranley's Hand Up Initiative, which he plans to fund through this year's city budget. As part of the initiative, the city will first partner with Cincinnati Cooks, Cincinnati Works and Solid Opportunities for Advancement and Retention (SOAR) to provide more job training opportunities. Participants who graduate from those programs can then apply to the Transitional Jobs Program, which provides short-term, part-time work opportunities to people as they look for long-term, full-time jobs.The initiative will begin as a pilot program for the first two years, but it could eventually expand with more partnerships and job training opportunities, according to Cranley.If successfully carried out, Cranley's proposals could help break the long-term unemployment trends that keep so many Americans jobless in the first place.In one study, Rand Ghayad of Northeastern University sent out 4,800 fake resumes for 600 job openings. Ghayad found people who had been out of work for six months or more very rarely got called back, even in comparison to applicants without work experience who were unemployed for shorter periods of time.In other words, diminishing the discrimination on the employer's side or ongoing joblessness on the potential employee's side could be enough to land more people in jobs.A proper solution to the issue could also go a long way to picking up the nation's sluggish job market. By the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities' estimate, nearly 38 percent of the unemployed in December had been unemployed for 27 weeks or longer — the highest rate in six decades. In comparison, the rate was below 20 percent prior to the recession.For Cranley, the initiatives also present an opportunity to address Cincinnati's abhorrent poverty rates by giving people a chance to obtain better-paying jobs."In the end, we want a city that isn't just good for future residents," Cranley says, referencing the economic momentum in Over-the-Rhine, downtown and uptown that might benefit future Cincinnatians. "We need a city solution that grows the capacity and builds the opportunities for residents who are already here and families that are already dealing with poverty."

Death penalty questioned, county advances crime lab, Anna Louise Inn to break ground
For some, Dennis McGuire's 26-minute, seemingly painful execution raises constitutional and ethical questions about Ohio's use of the death penalty. In particular, the convicted killer's family and medical experts say the state's use of a new cocktail of drugs presented problems even before McGuire was killed, with one Harvard professor of anesthesia warning the state prior to the execution that its dosage was too low for McGuire's size and the drugs inadequate. Jonathan Groner, a professor of clinical surgery at Ohio State University, told CityBeat, "I wouldn't want what he got to have my appendix out. … I would be concerned that I would feel something."Hamilton County commissioners yesterday accepted a Mount Airy facility offered to the county as a gift by Catholic Health Partners, with plans to use the former hospital as the campus for a new crime lab. The acceptance came despite previous warnings that the Mount Airy facility could not be taken in by the county if the Board of Elections didn't also move its office and early voting to the Mount Airy location, where only one bus line runs, from its current downtown office. A party-line tie vote left the Board of Elections move in limbo, with a tie-breaking decision expected from the Republican secretary of state in the next few weeks. Democrats oppose the move because it would limit voting access for people who rely on public transportation, while Republicans argue free parking at the new facility would outweigh the loss of bus access.Officials plan to break ground today on the Anna Louise Inn's new location at Mount Auburn. The start of construction marks the beginning of the next chapter for the Inn afters its owner, Cincinnati Union Bethel (CUB), lost a contentious legal battle against financial giant Western & Southern. CUB sought to keep the Inn at the location it has been at since 1909, while Western & Southern aimed to claim the property to invoke its full development vision on the Lytle Park neighborhood. After two years of litigation, both sides reached a settlement in which CUB agreed to move.Commentary: Media Should End Reliance on "He Says, She Says."A local abortion clinic asked a Hamilton County judge to suspend a state order that would shut down the facility. The Sharonville clinic would close down by Feb. 4 if courts don't step in.With bipartisan support, the Ohio House cleared a bill that reduces the costs and speeds up the process of adoptions. But some Democrats worry the bill goes too far by shortening the period a putative father must register with the state if he wants to be able to consent to an adoption.The tea party failed to put forward a Republican primary challenger to Gov. John Kasich.Meanwhile, Hamilton County Commissioner Todd Portune says he's talking to former Toledo Mayor Jack Ford as a potential running mate in a Democratic primary challenge against gubernatorial candidate Ed FitzGerald. With less than one week left, Portune needs to name a running mate and gather 1,000 valid petition signatures to actually run — a prospect that's looking dimmer by the day.A federal judge sentenced an Ohio man who threatened to kill President Barack Obama to 16 months in prison.Cincinnati-based Kroger might test an online ordering system.Gladys, the Cincinnati Zoo's newest gorilla, celebrated her first birthday party with cake.Scientists developed hair-growing cells from ordinary skin cells, potentially providing a new option for curing baldness.Follow CityBeat on Twitter:• Main: @CityBeatCincy • News: @CityBeat_News • Music: @CityBeatMusic • German Lopez: @germanrlopez

County Accepts Mount Airy Facility for Crime Lab
New crime lab moves forward, but Board of Elections decision remains in limbo
Hamilton County commissioners on Wednesday announced they will accept a Mount Airy facility offered to the county as a gift by Catholic Health Partners, opening the door to a new county crime lab at the location. The acceptance comes despite lingering uncertainties about whether the Board of Elections will also move to the former hospital in Mount Airy. County commissioners previously warned the Board of Elections must move with the crime lab to provide the occupancy necessary to financially justify renovations at the 500,000-square-foot facility. The decision also comes despite remaining questions about how exactly the cash-strapped county government will fund the move and the renovations it entails. Hamilton County Coroner Lakshmi Sammarco and Sheriff Jim Neil both lobbied for the new crime lab. Citing expert opinions, they argue the current crime lab lacks space and needs to be modernized, which could put criminal evidence and trials at risk. Board of Commissioners President Chris Monzel called the gift a "once-in-a-lifetime opportunity" — a sentiment both other commissioners seemed to follow. "This is a home run for law enforcement in Hamilton County," Commissioner Greg Hartmann said. Commissioners explained they will seek various opportunities to fill out remaining space in the facility. Mayor John Cranley on Jan. 23 offered to move some city police services to the facility, but Hartmann told CityBeat the offer wouldn't be enough to replace the Board of Elections. "Without the Board of Elections coming with the crime lab, that's not enough occupancy," Hartmann said. "There would be some good potential co-location opportunities with the city (at the Mount Airy facility), but not enough to take up 400,000 square feet." But with Wednesday's development, county commissioners appear ready to take up the Mount Airy facility and new county crime lab even if the Board of Elections doesn't move. On Monday, the Board of Elections split along party lines over whether the board should move its offices and early voting from downtown to Mount Airy, where only one bus line runs. Democrats say the move would reduce voting access for people who rely on public transportation to make it to the ballot box. Republicans argue the potential of free parking at the facility outweighs the lack of public transportation. Of course, part of the issue is political: Democrats benefit from a downtown voting location that's easily accessible to Democrat-leaning urban voters, and Republicans benefit from a location closer to Republican-leaning suburban voters. With the board's tie vote, the issue now goes to the secretary of state — Republican Jon Husted — to potentially decide. The secretary of state's office says Husted will make a decision after he reviews documents from the Board of Elections explaining both sides of the tie vote, but spokesperson Matt McClellan says Husted would like to see the issue resolved locally before he is forced to intervene.

City to Break Ground on New Anna Louise Inn Location
New facility follows Inn's intense legal battle with Western & Southern
City leaders will break ground Thursday for the Anna Louise Inn's new location at Mount Auburn. The start of construction begins the next phase for the Anna Louise Inn and owner Cincinnati Union Bethel (CUB) after a failed legal battle against financial giant Western & Southern forced the Inn to move. CUB sought to keep the Inn at the Lytle Park location that has housed struggling women since 1909. Western & Southern demanded the property so it could round out its development vision for the Lytle Park neighborhood. (CityBeat covered the issue in greater detail here.)After nearly two years of litigation held up CUB's renovations at the Lytle Park location, both sides abruptly reached a settlement and announced the Anna Louise Inn would move. Many supporters of the Anna Louise Inn saw the settlement and decision to move as a huge loss.The $14 million project comes through the collaboration of various organizations, according to the city. It's expected construction will finish in the spring of 2015.The facility will consist of four stories with 85 studio apartments, the Off-the-Streets program's residential dormitory-style units, community space and CUB's office.The city's attendee list for the groundbreaking includes CUB, Mayor John Cranley, City Council, Mount Auburn Community Council, Over-the-Rhine Community Housing, U.S. Bank, Model Group and various other officials and organizations from the city and state.But there is one notable omission: Western & Southern.

Obama lays out agenda, Ky. governor defends bridge tolls, reading ability falls with income
President Barack Obama delivered the State of the Union speech yesterday, outlining an ambitious progressive agenda that will be largely ignored and rebuked by Congress. But Obama promised at least seven major policies that he can pursue without legislators, including a $10.10-per-hour minimum wage for federal contractors and some action on global warming. Obama's full speech is viewable here, and the Republican response is available here. The Associated Press fact checked the speech here.Ky. Gov. Steve Beshear says tolls are necessary to fund the $2.6 billion Brent Spence Bridge project. Officials and executives claim the bridge replacement is necessary to improve safety, traffic and economic development through a key connector between Kentucky and Ohio, but many Kentucky officials refuse to accept tolls to fund the new bridge. But without federal funding to pay for the entire project, leading Ohio and Kentucky officials say they have no other option.There is a 32-point achievement gap in reading between Ohio's lower-income and higher-income fourth-graders, with higher-income students coming out on top. The massive gap speaks to some of the challenges brought on by income inequality as Ohio officials implement the Third-Grade Reading Guarantee, which requires most Ohio third-graders to test as "proficient" before they advance to the fourth grade. Previous studies also found Ohio's urban schools might be unfairly evaluated and under-funded because the state doesn't properly account for poverty levels.Attempting to move the Hamilton County Board of Elections offices from downtown to Mount Airy, where only one bus line runs, could provoke a lawsuit from the NAACP, Board Chairman Tim Burke, a Democrat who opposes the move, warned in an email to county commissioners. With the Board of Elections split along party lines on the issue, the final decision to move or not to move could come down to county commissioners or Republican Secretary of State Jon Husted.

This is the time of year we look forward to all winter.
The unseasonably warm weather of last week melted the frost out of the ground and dried up the muddy surface. The grasses have started to green up and the coming April showers will give a quick boost to grow tall.
For most folks, that means mowing the lawn, a tedious weekly chore that must get done. For those of us with grazing animals, it means the end of feeding hay! You may be dreading start of lawn-mowing season, but believe me, there are many of us who love to watch the grass grow.
The early warm up offers livestock grazers a great opportunity to assess the pastures, fences and opportunities for this season. Often taken for granted, pasture is an important agricultural resource that many livestock farmers depend on for summer feed.
While many of our larger dairies no longer depend on grazing pasture for a significant part of their feeding program, pastures play a much more important role in raising livestock such as dairy heifers, beef cattle, sheep and goats.
A well-managed pasture can in fact provide excellent feed to growing livestock with little supplementation. But what is well-managed pasture?
Unfortunately, non-tillable, swampy, brushy or rocky fields that are poor in condition or fertility often end up as pasture. While they are probably not suitable for growing other crops, these types of lands also make very poor pastures. All too often, livestock are turned out into one big pasture for the summer and left to their own devices.
If a livestock owner's goal is to grow his animals in the quickest, most efficient way possible, this is unlikely to provide the nutrition needed.
A more modern view that has developed is that pasture should be seen as a perennial crop that deserves the same care and management as other crops on the farm. Pasture management can be complicated. Few other farming activities involve growing a crop, growing livestock and harvesting the crop all at the same time.

A Long Island lesbian is causing a controversy after winning an election to become homecoming king.
Faith Shepherd thought it would be a long shot to run for the honorary title at Central Islip High School.
"I made it very clear I wanted to run for king not queen," Shepherd said.
Classmates and teachers supported her not-so-traditional run, and she won the crown by a landslide.
"It felt like everyone was on my side we were united," Shepherd said.
The election took place in October but is still creating fallout.
Superintendent Craig Carr says the district doesn't have a policy in place that dictates gender roles for homecoming nominees.
"This young woman who won the king's post overwhelming was voted in by the student body," Carr says.
But Pastor Donald Hudson from Common Ground Christian Life church questioned Shepherd's crowning at a school board meeting.
Hudson argues crossing gender lines creates confusion.
"The advisors allowed it, assistant principal allowed it, (and the) principal allowed it by changing the order without going the proper channels," Hudson says. "There has to be consequences for them."
But under the New York State Dignity for All Students Act, students cannot be subject to discrimination based on gender identity or expression.
This isn't the first time this has happened in the district.
Back in 2010, a female student was elected homecoming king at the same school.
"It speaks to the student body that they are so progressive here in Central Islip," Carr says.
In February the Board of Education will discuss the issue again and the school board will decide if any policy changes need to be made in choosing future homecoming nominees.

Statements from the Ohio: 2012 U.S. Senate's race
"Our race was the closest U.S. Senate race in Ohio in 36 years -- when Howard Metzenbaum defeated Robert Taft in 1976."
Says that Sherrod Brown is an "Obama rubber stamp" for "supporting the job-killing cap and trade plan."
"There is no war on coal. Period. There are more coal jobs and more coal produced in Ohio than there were five years ago, in spite of the talking points and the yard signs."
Says that Josh Mandel voted to let insurance companies deny coverage for autism
"While Mandel's been busy traveling the country raising campaign money, he hasn't shown up for work."
Josh Mandel "is lying about his own record. The rating of Ohio's investment fund has NOT improved."
Says Sherrod Brown's campaign attacked Josh Mandel's military service
Says Sherrod Brown voted "for the $1.17 trillion health care law that adds a new tax on Ohio manufacturers."
Says Josh Mandel bet against Ohio families
"When Josh Mandel claims to have accepted three debates with Sen. Sherrod Brown, he is lying. He has accepted ZERO proposed debates."
"Sherrod Brown and his special interest allies in Washington are plotting to spend over $13 million" to defeat Josh Mandel.
Sherrod Brown's approval rating "has plummeted to 38 percent among Ohio voters" in a poll by a Democratic pollster.
Says Josh Mandel's campaign is under FBI investigation
Sherrod Brown "gave huge bonuses to executives."
Says he "cut the budget."
Says he "earned the highest possible credit ratings as state treasurer."
Says Sen. Sherrod Brown "cast the deciding vote on the government takeover of health care."
Says Josh Mandel opposed federal loans to the auto industry.
Sen. Sherrod Brown's vote helped pass "Barack Obama's job-killing health care law, which slapped small businesses throughout Ohio with a $500 billion tax increase."
Sherrod Brown opposed blocking a new EPA emissions rule, "despite acknowledging that the EPA's cap-and-trade regulations are 'burdensome' and could harm economic growth in Ohio."

---- — NEWBURY — Building commissioner and Facilities manager Sam Joslin was recently selected to serve as board director for the Massachusetts Federation of Building Officials.
The MFBO is considered an "umbrella organization" that represents the state's city and town building commissioners and local inspectors, all of whom belong to one or more of the three regional professional associations: the Massachusetts Building Commissioners and Inspectors Association, the Southeastern Massachusetts Building Official Association and the Building Officials of Western Massachusetts.
According to its mission statement, the role of the MFBO is to increase public awareness of the critical role building officials play in ensuring public safety and to advocate for responsible and reasonable building code development. The organization also participates in the legislative process from time to time as it pertains to the profession or to public safety.
"The federation is the collective voice of building officials," said Joslin. He notes that although technically part of the Department of Public Safety — along with police and fire personnel — building officials are seldom viewed in that role.
"Our job is to be preventers of public safety hazards in buildings and because we are proactive rather than reactive as a group, we tend to be invisible to the public," he said.
"The general public has an expectation that the buildings they enter — schools, restaurants, theaters, etc. — are safe for them and their children to occupy. So if the building is safe and nothing happens, we have done our jobs."
As board director, Joslin's goals will be to "continue to advocate for a consistent and reasonable building code that protects the public and to promote awareness of the Inspector's role as a needed public safety official."
In other news from Town Hall, Newbury assessor Michelle Branciforte recently received the designation of Massachusetts Association of Assessing Officer. Her certification will be officially presented at the MAAO Fall Conference held at the Publick House in Sturbridge in October.
"I'm very proud of what our team has been able to accomplish as of late," said Town Administrator Tracy Blais.

We've finally reached the most beautiful score in all of college football: 19-2. What in the world! 19-2! The Arkansas Razorbacks lead the Kansas St. Wildcats thanks to a 45-yard chuck from Tyler Wilson to Jarius Wright, but the real excitement came on the next play, when K-State blocked its fifth kick of the year and ballhawk Nigel Malone ran it back for two.
SI.com: Live Cotton Bowl box score and Cotton Bowl FAQ
Did you know defenses get two points for running back PATs? If you didn't, you should thank the Cotton Bowl for today's football education.
Fun fact: Arkansas now has only four first downs, yet is winning by 17 points. If K-State hadn't just run back an extra point for two points, we'd say Arkansas is still more K-State than K-State is, but nothing's more K-State than that.

ASU ready to tip off season vs. Central Arkansas
The season gets underway Friday for many teams around the country, and Herb Sendek's new-look Arizona State Sun Devils will start Saturday when they host the Central Arkansas Bears at Wells Fargo Arena in Tempe.
Sendek, who is entering his seventh year as the Sun Devils' head coach, is trying to guide his team out of a two-year postseason absence that has seen them go 22-40 over that span.
While talking with the media in Tempe Tuesday, the veteran coach stopped short of projecting a record or mentioning the postseason.
"Our primary goal is to have a program that we all be proud of and it's easy to cheer for," Sendek said. "That pretty much covers a wide canvas of things, and we do. We have a program that's easy to cheer for right now."
One of those "easy-to-cheer" players is fifth-year senior Carrick Felix, who has assumed much of the leadership responsibility for the Sun Devils in the aftermath of Trent Lockett's transfer to Marquette. Felix is ASU's top returning scorer and is working on a Master's Degree.
"If you can't get behind a guy like that, it's hard to imagine," Sendek said. "We have guys that are really easy to cheer for, easy to be proud of."
Felix, a Goodyear Millennium High product, isn't shying away from bold statements about the upcoming season.
"We have a chance to do something that's never been done in ASU's history, and that's to be able to win a Pac-12 championship, which I think we're very capable of doing," he said.
Prognosticators don't see promising things for this year's Sun Devils. The Pac-12 media picked ASU to finish 11th in the conference, which would almost certainly ensure a third-losing season, something Sendek has never experienced in his 19 years as a collegiate head coach.
Sendek isn't concerned about the past.
"We spent a lot of time breaking that down, talking about it and the larger purpose right now is to focus on this team, today," Sendek said. "I think the need to plow ground that we've already gone over several times has lost its purpose, and the larger purpose is this week and our opening game."
ASU's opponent, Central Arkansas, is coached by former NBA standout Corliss Williamson, who enters his third season at the helm. The Bears have gone 13-45 under Williamson's tutelage, but have their top three scorers back from last year's squad.
Sendek wouldn't give too much information about what his starting lineup would look like when the Devils take the floor Saturday.
"I have a pretty good idea in my mind but we'll get through the rest of this week's practice and make that final determination some time later in the week," he said "I learned that from football coaches."

Bill O'Brien's agent has told ESPN that O'Brien will be staying at Penn State coach and not entertaining offers with the NFL. There had been speculation that O'Brien's first year success and the continuing sanctions would mean that the Penn State Coach could be wooed by the NFL with a head coaching job.
O'Brien's agent Joe Linta says he hasn't had any conversations with any team about O'Brien. Along with ending the speculation, O'Brien was also named Big Ten Coach of the Year on Monday night.

Hi everyone
Can I say "I couldn't help laughing at this movie." if I'm talking about a funny comedy.
I am more interested in the use of correct preposition here after "laugh".
Thank you.

Flo Rida likes big butts and he cannot lie.
