Just as the passing game was starting to look good again, Nova gets injured in the first quarter and never returns for the entire game. Chas Dodd filled in admirably, yet the offense never found a consistent rhythm without its entrenched starter. How serious is the injury? Can't say yet. The school is keeping mum on the matter, so we'll have to wait for Flood's press conference. In the meantime, here are some key points to take away from the game:
- Paul James. 3 more touchdowns. That is all.
- Quron Pratt had an amazing day on special teams. The senior wideout broke open a kickoff return for a touchdown, as well as had a few other great returns. He came pretty close to a blocked punt as well.
- Brandon Coleman continues to have his weekly quintessential drop-that-shouldn't-have-been. Looking at some early mock drafts, Coleman isn't even listed in the top 5 for wide receivers, and his hands could be the reason. He has all the measurables, but he'll have to make those tough catches to be a lock for the first round. Chas Dodd threw a good-looking ball to him in the second half, dropping it right over his shoulder. The defender made a good play, but that was a very catchable ball.
- Speaking of Dodd, the offense just doesn't move as well with him under center. It's most likely due to Nova getting all of the first-team reps, but unfortunately you can't split those reps between two quarterbacks. Nova was moving the ball really well on his only drive, hitting all of his receivers on the money. Dodd definitely struggled with some placement, and even had a ball batted down at the line (only because he stared down his receiver on the throw, not due to his height).
- The defense hasn't made the progress you wanted to see from the first game, getting gashed through the air by EMU quarterback Tyler Benz. Benz threw for 355 yards on 24 or 40 passing. Not exactly the numbers you want to see from a mediocre MAC QB. Outside of a trick play, the EMU offense consisted mostly of short range passes to the outside. Honestly, without Tyreese Russell, the Eagles would have been in serious trouble. Unfortunately, RU had no answer for him in this game.
- Tackling is a serious issue. They really need to go back to the fundamentals of the wrap, considering how many times Benz was able to escape the initial tackle for loss.
- In other injury news, Dallas Hendrikson did a sufficient job filling in for Betim Bujari. Jeremy Deering played for a couple of series, but Tejay Johnson played virtually the entire game for him. Jamil Merrell also got some fourth quarter reps.

GARLAND -- At Kimberlin Academy of Excellence in Garland, several dozen elementary students are training in the school parking lot for the ING KiDS ROCK Dallas marathon.
"We call it our 'fire lane laps,'" said PE teacher Marcie Adame. "It takes six laps to do an entire mile, and they collect popsicle sticks as they go around to keep track of their mileage.
"We look to not focusing on the mileage," Adame continued, "but on the amount of time they're on their feet."
The students have been training weekly for two months. By the end of the week, Marcie Adame's students will have each run 25.2 miles cumulatively at their own pace at school.
The last mile of the marathon is finished at the actual ING KiDS ROCK event at Fair Park Saturday. The Dallas Rock 'n' Roll half-marathon takes place Sunday.
"It feels really good, because I know I'm really young to be doing that," said third grader Athena Gonzales. "It makes me feel really proud."
"It doesn't matter if you win or lose; if you're first place or not," said first grader Angus Pray. "You'll still get that medal, even if you participate. That's the only rule if you want to get the medal. But the medal comes in this drinking bottle that you also get."
The challenge is in line with the First Lady's "Let's Move" initiative to fight childhood obesity. Adame is an avid runner and an advocate of fighting childhood obesity. This is her second year to have her physical education students train and run in the ING KiDS ROCK.
Adame said what her students learn running, they take home to their families and incorporate into healthier living. But, the obesity epidemic is not why the children choose to run.
"I like to run because it feels like I'm free," said Anna Hocket, a second grader, "And I really like to be free."
Hocket and her classmates agree that it's not the type of shoes that make a good runner. Heart (and finishing) are what matters.

Video designer/director Richard Stembridge discusses video design for Arcade Fire's The Suburbs tour
Besides working directly with Arcade Fire on the design for The Suburbs tour, production designer/LD Susanne Sasic also collaborated with video director Richard Stembridge, who had previously worked with the band, so they could ensure the lighting and video work together in support of the production design and the band's music. "Rich was solely responsible for content creation and camera placement," says Sasic. "However, he and I had many conversations prior to the tour about how to approach it. We worked together to coordinate our respective looks for each song at rehearsals in Montreal and continue to develop them further as the tour is progressing."
Stembridge's video design consists of layers of custom content mixed with live cameras and a combination of front-of-house projection and LED video screen. "The texture of much of the projection content is painterly and gives the washed out, faded look the band was looking for," notes Sasic. Stembridge chose the Pixled F-11 11mm LED video screen for the billboard, hanging as a single unit with the billboard surround slightly in front of it. Using XL touring frames, it all only weighs 700lbs and measures 20'x11'.
"I used the F-11 on a Deadmau5 tour and it is, by far, the best LED product I have ever worked with," Stembridge says. "It's very affordable for what it is. In terms of configuring it, it is very easy to deal with—very easy to cable it, and there is barely any control to it. Also, the F-11 is a high-quality screen with very high color depth, which means that it will work well at low levels like when I am going into songs or fading cameras. When I fade out of black, it's a very smooth fade."
Stembridge came up with a unique way of making the LED screen work with the band's concept of faded imagery. "In keeping with the album, they wanted something that wasn't crisp and digital-looking," he says. "They wanted something that was softer, had kind of, not necessarily 'old film feel,' but certainly not a big, bright LED screen right in the middle of the stage. I covered the screen with 4mm-thick 4'x8' Polycarbonate sheets which then has Lee Filters L225 Neutral Density Frost, a medium frost and .6 neutral density built into it, attached to the front of the plastic panels. It sits on the front of the screen and makes the screen look really, really soft, so it doesn't look like an LED screen. It is mounted about 4mm in front of the LED panels, which have a pixel pitch of 11mm. This distance in front of the screen is just enough for the pixels to actually bloom for a slightly softer image."
Stembridge's video design also includes front-projection onto the backdrop, printed with an image of a freeway overpass with streetlights and sky in the background. He has come up with a solution for projecting on the backdrop without hitting the band and all scenery between the FOH projectors and the drop. "At the load-in, I put the projectors up and take a photo from the projector lenses of the stage from front-of-house," he says. "I take that photo and use [Adobe] Photoshop to create a mask that cuts around the billboard and stadium lights. It does a soft blend over the backline and where the band members are, so it's not hitting them in the eyes too badly. That sits permanently on top of everything that I project. From the front, it appears that all of the projection on the backdrop is all rear-projection, because none of it hits anything onstage that's in front of it. It can be very time-consuming, and it's quite hard for festival situations trying to get it all aligned during the changeover, but when it works, it works incredibly well. There are several different masks that I use; one is the actual image of the overpass itself with the background completely cut out. That allows me to project the image on the backdrop but then have the sky moving and so on. I deal with really fine detail, so even the streetlights are cut around. When you see the sky moving behind it, it really appears to be behind it because the lights in the foreground stay perfect."
Like Sasic, Stembridge operates all of the video live. "I am running this all off two Catalyst V4 systems, one controlling the LED screen, the other controlling projection," he explains. "They are both the highest possible spec, with solid-state drives, and each has three Active Silicon LFG-4 cards. That gives me 12 composite camera inputs into each media server. I run it all with Hog PC running in Hog II mode with a couple of playback wings. I am running 60 layers of video across the two machines, and there are multiple layers of content playing back merged with video inputs at the same time. I honestly believe that it's the only system that's capable of doing what we're doing seamlessly. The projection itself is all HD; it's all 1,920x1,080. The end result that you see onstage looks quite simple, but the machines themselves are really working incredibly hard."
Stembridge takes all the cameras right into the Catalyst media servers, which controls all of the routing and switching. "This tour, I have tried to get away as much as possible from static cameras," he says. "I am now using a total of seven robotic cameras, which are the Sony BRC300s. I have my two video technicians operate those for me during the show, and I call the camera shots to them. I have gotten the static cameras down to six: two on each of the two drum kits, one on the lead mic stand, and one for the area with the organs and synthesizers." All of the video gear for the tour is from XL Video.
Both Stembridge and Sasic went into the XL Video LED Lab in New York City to prepare for the tour. "When we first started talking, I sent Susanne over to the Lab to see the Pixled F-11 for herself," says Stembridge. "It made our conversations much easier. At the time, I was on another tour, and we weren't able to meet each other until the actual design process got started. This is the first time that I worked with Susanne, and it has been great. We both work on the same plane."
Sasic and Stembridge will continue with the tour as Arcade Fire starts playing European and Canadian dates through December.

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) was signed into law by President Barack Obama on Feb. 17 -- providing unprecedented federal education aid to the states. Governor Deval Patrick worked with other governors, the president and congressional leadership to ensure that there would be targeted investments for public education at all levels, from pre-kindergarten through higher education.
Many MTA members weighed in with the president and the Massachusetts congressional delegation to support their efforts, as did members of NEA affiliates across the country. As a result, in the next two years, over $100 billion will go to education to preserve the progress we have made and to help students succeed.
The Commonwealth will receive more than $1.7 billion for public schools and public higher education over two years. The funds are targeted for different programs and will be available on different timelines. The areas that will see an infusion of funds include:
These funds will be distributed through established federal funding formulas. There are also tax credits for school and college construction and for college tuition. The largest amount of money, however, will come through the State Fiscal Stabilization Fund.
From this $59 billion fund, Massachusetts will receive approximately $994 million over two years. Roughly 82 percent of this money -- $813 million -- must go to public education. It can be used for Chapter 70 funding -- state aid to school districts based on a formula that depends on student enrollment and the wealth of the district – and for public higher education operating budgets.
The other 18 percent -- $181 million -- is designated for "public safety and other services," which may include education. How Can These Funds Be Used?
Who Decides How the Money Is Distributed?
Further explanation on distribution of these funds is available on the Web site of the Massachusetts Budget and Policy Center .
Please Note: The distribution of this money may change as the Legislature considers its version of the FY10 budget in the next two months.
What Will Happen to the Rest of the Money?
On March 20, Governor Patrick announced the distribution of $281 million of IDEA funds to Massachusetts school districts. These figures are set, and the money will be distributed over the next two years.
There is more flexibility in the use of these funds than in the use of other education funding. Fifty percent of the IDEA money must be used for special education programs. However, there are provisions in the ARRA that permit the other 50 percent to be used by school districts for other education activities. Every school district in the state will receive funds under IDEA.
The ARRA designates $10 billion to go to schools that have high concentrations of students who live in poverty. The state will receive $163 million in Title I funds over two years. These funds will be distributed based on eligibility criteria set by federal statute.
Many districts, but not all, will receive this money. Before long, the state is expected to explain how the funds will be distributed.
Have All Decisions Been Made?
No. The Federal Department of Education is still working on guidelines and applications that are required for some of the funds, so there are a lot of unanswered questions. The NEA is keeping the MTA and other state affiliates informed as information is received.

Canada Place by Night
The World > North America > Canada
Canada Place is one of the most recognized spots in Vancouver and is located next to the new Convention Center which was completed in 2009 at a cost of CDN900,000,000 - twice the original projected cost.
The 10 'sails' on the roof, 5 on the East side and 5 on the West side, represent the 10 provinces of Canada.

The capital of Canada is Ottawa, in the province of Ontario. There are offically ten provinces and three territories in Canada, which is the second largest country in the world in terms of land area.
While politically and legally an independant nation, the titular head of state for Canada is still Queen Elizabeth.
On the east end of Canada, you have Montreal as the bastion of activity. Montreal is famous for two things, VICE magazine and the Montreal Jazz Festival. One is the bible of hipster life (disposable, of course) and the other is a world-famous event that draws more than two million people every summer. Quebec is a French speaking province that has almost seceded from Canada on several occasions, by the way..
When you think of Canada, you think of . . . snow, right?
But not on the West Coast. In Vancouver, it rains. And you'll find more of the population speaking Mandarin than French (but also Punjabi, Tagalog, Korean, Farsi, German, and much more).
Like the other big cities in Canada, Vancouver is vividly multicultural and Vancouverites are very, very serious about their coffee.
Your standard Vancouverite can be found attired head-to-toe in Lululemon gear, mainlining Cafe Artigiano Americanos (spot the irony for ten points).
But here's a Vancouver secret only the coolest kids know: the best sandwiches in the city aren't found downtown. Actually, they're hidden in Edgemont Village at the foot of Grouse Mountain on the North Shore.
"It's actually worth coming to Canada for these sandwiches alone." -- Michelle Superle, Vancouver

Conferencing and Collaboration
Web- and phone-based conferencing and collaboration tools offer small business owners the ability to stay in touch with customers, prospects and colleagues while reducing travel costs, improving productivity and saving time.
In addition, the regular use of online or phone meetings allow companies to work with staff or contractors in different locations (offering additional potential savings on office space), or to assemble virtual teams for specific projects.
A growing number of small businesses are also enjoying the advantages of virtual face-to-face meetings through web-based and videoconferences. Online meetings allow companies to share information and ideas quickly and efficiently, with more personal interaction than would be possible through a long series of email messages.
Although video conferencing once required dedicated equipment that only large enterprises could afford, a growing range of laptop, smartphone and tablet based conferencing tools are making virtual meetings affordable to small businesses.
Meeting Online
Small business owners have a variety of options for online meetings, starting with basic collaboration apps such as Skype or instant messaging programs (most of which also support group voice and, increasingly, video chats). Most are free or inexpensive, easy to set up and use, and provide an effective way for companies to meet basic communication and collaboration needs.
Most instant messaging apps allow team members to indicate their availability for online chats or meetings, and also offer smartphone apps that allow people to remain available for impromptu chat sessions as they travel or work in different locations.
Adding video capabilities to a conference or group text chat improves the overall effectiveness of a meeting by allowing participants to see each other and to establish a closer connection than a voice call.
Moving up the technology scale, dedicated online meeting platforms such as WebEx, GoToMeeting and others provide the ability for meeting participants to gather in a virtual, web-based meeting space to view slides, share files and collaborate on documents during the meeting.
Online meetings are offered through a variety of subscription or per-use plans.
Because web conferencing services are delivered through each user's browser, it's easy for attendees to log on from a variety of devices. As long as you can get a web connection, you'll probably be able to join an online conference.
Many online conferencing vendors also offer the ability to record your conference so team members who missed the live event can download it later, or to capture ideas generated during the meeting.
Smartphone Conferencing
The latest generation of smart phones offers basic web conferencing capabilities through built- in front-and-back cameras and conferencing apps. Video calls allow participants to see each other, but smartphones don't offer the file sharing and collaboration tools available from dedicated web meeting platforms.
In addition, the small screens on handsets can make it difficult for attendees to see more than one other participant.
Despite those shortcomings, however, smartphone conferencing can be a powerful way to hold a meeting without having to travel, or even leave (or go to) the office.
Dial-In Remains Effective
Traditional dial-in phone conferencing remains a powerful tool for companies of all sizes, with many communications providers offering either unlimited subscriptions for frequent users or per-use rates for companies that only hold phone conferences occasionally.
In most cases, a meeting organizer will distribute a dial-in number and access code, along with a meeting agenda and any support documents, to meeting participants.

3.6/5 rDev -0.8%
A twist off 500 ml green bottle, found at Angossi. The aroma of a sourish wheat beer. Initially sizeable white head on finely carbonated golden yellow. Active and fizzy carbonation. Cloves. A decent amount of wheat and yeast and dry mildly astringent aftertaste. Serviceable German style beer.

3.95/5 rDev +8.8%
Single finger head on a murky golden with slight crimson hues body. Thick lacing.
S: wheat and citrus. Mild overall.
T: nice solid orange peel and lemon throughout the tasting. Solid wheat flavor.
M: full body for the genre. Moderate carbonation. Refreshing.
Overall this is very drinkable and more flavorful than others in the genre.

2.98/5 rDev -17.9%
I felt that this beer wasn't as cloudy as I thought it'd be. It was kind of a clear looking wheat beer. Massive head on it, big foamy and white. The aroma was a bit on the sweet side with some nice soft fruits in there. The taste was light, wheat and other grains were present. The Mouthfeel was light and highly drinkable, Could have been a much better beer to have in the summer time with perhaps an orange slice with it.

3.75/5 rDev +3.3%
Very cloudy yellow color. Mild head for the style; no lace.
Strong wheat smells; in the background, oddly, is the aroma of green olives
Given the aroma and the appearance, this beer has less wheat flavors than expected. It is well balanced with a creamy body. There is a touch of lemon-lime sourness. No notable hop.
Despite the green bottle, there were no signs of skunking. This would be a good introduction to wheat beers for the uninitiated--good wheat flavor but nothing extreme about it.

On-tap at JP McGrady's in Bethlehem, PA.
Probably not the best place to have this one, but I'll take it. Overall, this beer showed a lot of great yeast flavors, but couldn't pull together a great, singular taste. The mouthfeel was flat, that might be the bar's fault, but the drinkablity was pretty good.

I had this on tap a couple of times. The fresher the better.
A: Hazy, dark yellow-straw; Fluffy white head, awesome retention and lace.
S: Banana and bread, with a little citrus.
T: Nice fruity banana, a little bready, with some citrus (orange and lemon). Very good.
M: Moderate body is malty and creamy. Carbonation is moderate. Great.
D: Fruity, with a solid malty backbone. It's great.

Pours a hazy orange-ish to yellow color with an off white head. In the aroma, dry wheat and small citrus notes. In the taste, dry wheat, hints of citrus and a bit watery. A small hop bite and medium to lighter bodied mouthfeel, with a small dry citrus in the aftertaste. A but dry and a bit thin, eh!

Poured a cloudy light apricot color with moderate white creamy head. Good retention.
Smell is typical of the style, lemon, cloves, yeast, bananas.
Taste is also very predictable. A bit more dryness that expected, but tasty.
Somewhat thin at the finish with only fair taste retention.
Very drinkable abd refreshing.

Date on green 11.2oz bottle reads (I'm inverting the day and month, Euro-style) 02.10.12. I'm hoping that's a bottle date. Anyways, I'm dumping it into a Penn Weizen glass. Proper swirling to follow.
Pours pretty dark for a hefe, like muddy amber. Cloudy, and with lots of sediment (yeast chunks that didn't break down). The head sits beautifully; crowning the beer in pillows of white. Lacing is very nice.
Yeasty white bread, wheat malts, butter, hints of lemon and banana. The fruity esters falter, but the German yeast presence is exceptional. Dry, a little nutty, and right in the limelight. Very bready weizen.
Liquid wheat bread. Snaggles of light clove, grated lemon zest, and spearmint make jabs at attempting to reveal themselves. Hints of honey and green apple skins. Not as dry as the nose, but far from juicy sweet. Firm-fleshed banana comes out in the finish; you know, the kind with a green-yellow peel. Super-breadth again, whereas, this beer tastes nutritious. Minty-ness tapers the tanginess of the wheat and makes the finish breathy. Some slight tinniness picks up in the end, as it warms.
Drinks with richness and breadiness. Tingles of alcohol follow the sixth-through-last sips. Mellow feel without distractions of piling carbonation. Instead, smoothness carries the beer from the mouth to the gullet.
The more I drink, the more it grows on me. And then, I question the average reviews on this site. This beer is developed. Perhaps less fruity than most are used to, it still offers a wallop of bread flavors without being super-complex or showy, for that matter. I'd love to come across this beer more often, because I'd check it out again and probably again.

Beer review from BA Mag Oct 2007.
Who ever thought the US would see a Hefeweizen come in a green twist off bottle. As long as we don't see plastic we'll be OK.
We gently flipped the bottle upside down to rouse all of the yeast into solution. A steady pour yields two fingers of sticky white foam; the head retention is amazing with patchy lace on the glass after each sip. The color is a bit beige and orange with a dense cloudiness from the yeast. Fresh yeast and soft floral aroma with hints of clove within the bready wheat. Incredibly smooth and crisp with a dreamy medium body. Big mouthful of bready maltiness with the wheat flavor in the forefront. Suggestions of faint lemon and powdered clove come to mind, a little bit of apple skin as well. Hop bitterness is ultra-modest, the yeast character stays as an undertone and the fruitiness is vague with ripe apples, a bit of banana and some papaya also. Clean and semidry finish with a lingering wheat and yeast note.
Drinkability surpasses most, not as flamboyant as others. Amazing comes to mind, a must try for German beer lovers.

A - Pours a cloudy golden pale straw. 3 Finger fluffy head.
T - Honey kissed clove and lots of it. A nice yeasty character, pears, ham....seriously I'm getting strong ham aromas.
T - Nice spicy yeast, a plethora of wheat, apples, clove, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
M - Creamy.
A very fall flavored Hefeweizen. It's a Thanksgiving Hefeweizen! This is on the spice side of this style. A solid drinker.

Bottle from World of Beer, Clearwater, FL.
Poured clear yellow color with an average fizzy white head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Moderate grassy wheat aroma. Light to medium body and a thin texture. Medium sweet flavor with a medium grassy sweet finish of moderate duration.
Average beer.

Pours a nice 1 1/2 finger head. Yellow cloudy color. Nice retention that lasts for a while.
This beer smells like piss and banana. It's awful.
The piss smell overwhelms the beer. There is a lemony citrus twang with some banana. It's ok, but the smell is a little offputting and ruins the taste a little bit.
Crisp mouthfeel that is a little dry and seltzery, still not overly bad.
How do you sell a beer that smells like piss?

Poured from a 12 oz bottle into a goblet.
A - Beer can be poured clear, but if the bottle's dregs are stirred the beer is a cloudy dark golden color with orange highlights. The head is white and made of tiny bubbles.
S - The smell is excellent. It is very clean with grainy wheat and sharp lemon. Not much banana. There is even a hint of hops. This almost smells more like a Belgian wit or saison than a German wheat beer.
T - The taste begins with grainy, sharp wheat followed by noble hops flavor and bitterness. The yeast notes come last, again with mostly lemon and just a hint of bubblegum or banana. The finish is sweet and a bit cloying.
M - Medium body. Creamy carbonation. No alcohol or hops burn.
O - Overall a nice wheat beer that is very clean and citrusy compared to many German examples. I don't find it all that drinkable because of the body and the sweet finish, but that is true of the style as well.

This was poured from the bottle into a weizen glass.
A - cloudy golden color with a nice head initially, but settles into a well retained collar
S - medium banana and clove nose with wheat malt secondary, faint trace of hops
T - smooth wheat malt flavor profile spiced with banana and clove yeastiness, slight hop finish that's slightly dry
M - creamy, medium-light body with moderate carbonation
D - Overall this is a decent German hefeweizen. While it might not be my favorite, it satisfies the criteria well and is refreshing on a warm day like today.

12oz. green bottle
A: poured into a snifter. The beer pours an orange-ish yellow, that is very cloudy. gorgeous white head on top with good retention and some decent lacing that follows.
S: wonderful aromas that remind me of spring. sweet citrus aromas along with some spices. nice yeasty esters as well.
T: great citrus flavor, some light orange and lemon zest hints. some coriander and clove in the mix as well.
M: very clean and crisp mouthfeel. very warming which was surprising. smooth carbonation level.
D: I am not a fan of hefeweizens, but this one is rather tasty. I have had better, but this is better than the majority.

500ml Srcew capped bottle dated 10-12-04 Found this today at a local liquor store. First time I've ever seen it and I guess I'll be the first to rate it. Beautiful pour in my Franziskaner Weissbier glass, cloudy bright gold with a thick fluffy snow white head looking like the Swiss Alps. Aroma is yeasty, citrusy and spicy with notes of clove. Body is smooth yet carbonation is very soft. Flavor is refreshing, wheat malt, lemon and clove with a slight sweetness. Good retention leaving scattered lacing and retaining a bit of head till the finish. Overall not bad at all for the style.

Maybe the lightest hefe i've had. Quite thin, very subtle flavor. Their pils is also quite light and thin. Nothing off-putting, but compared to the best examples of the style, somewhat bland. A local store got this as a replacement for the Erdinger that they can no longer get. Not in Erdinger's class, IMO.

This beer pours a slightly hazy gold with a huge head and lacing throughout. The aroma lead off with a quick whif of skunkiness followed by normal hefe aromas of banana, lemon, and cake. The flavor was lemony with bananas and a mild hop note. It's mouthfeel is a bit thin for the style but not bad. Bischoff Falkensteiner Ur-Weisse is a good beer, recommended.

12 ounce bottle from the beer of the month club poured into a pint glass.
A: Little bit cloudy, hazy, pale yellow in color. Enormous thick creamy white head. Took several minutes to pour the entire beer into the pint glass due to the amount of head created.
S: Bready, yeasty aroma with some spicy clove notes.
T: A little bit banana flavors and some lemony citrus notes. More cloves flavors along with the earthy yeast notes picked up in the aroma. Lingering floral hop notes in the finish.
M: Medium bodied, very creamy in the mouthfeel. Lots of carbonation.
D: Very smooth drinkable hefeweizen, well balanced from a brewery that BOMC says is 144 years old! I'd have to agree with their recommendation to pair this with grilled chicken and mandarin oranges.

Got this from a roadside gas station on the way home from TAP NY 2009. Poured from bomber into Weizen glass a cloudy golden yellow with a solid inch of thick white foam. Smells of sweet grass and malt, taste is the same with a hint of lemon. Has a clean crisp mouthfeel and a dry finish. I will share the other 2 bottles with my BA buddies.

With three games left, the Carolina RailHawks officially have been eliminated from winning the North American Soccer League's fall season and playing in the Soccer Bowl.
Carolina fell 4-0 Saturday at the league-leading New York Cosmos, which sealed the 'Hawks fate.
The RailHawks have no wins on the road in either the fall or spring seasons.
New York, according to the website sportsclubstats.com, has a 98.1percent chance of winning the fall season. A win this weekend would clinch for New York and send the team to the Soccer Bowl on Nov. 9 at the Atlanta Silverbacks.
In the seventh year of the RailHawks' organization, the team has been one of the most successful franchises in Division 2 soccer but has yet to claim a league title.
The NASL switched to a split-season format this year that pitted the winners of both seasons against each other in a championship game.
Under the old format, the RailHawks would be in third place behind the Silverbacks and Tampa Bay Rowdies. The Cosmos did not play in the spring season.
The RailHawks have just three games left this season. Their final chance at a road win is Saturday at Minnesota United. The team will host Atlanta on Oct. 26 and the San Antonio Scorpions on Nov. 2.

Naugle shares experience with business students
April 14, 2010
When Rodger Naugle came to Bryan in 1962, he probably never imagined that 48 years later he would be back on the hill eating lunch with current Bryan students. But on April 14, at a luncheon with Bryan business majors, that's exactly what Mr. Naugle did. A successful stockbroker in Lawrenceville, Ga., for 25 years, he used his experience to give advice to the students as well as answer their questions about the business world and the economy.
Rodger Naugle, second from left, talks with
business students over lunch.
Mr. Naugle offered three significant points of advice. First he said, "Remain in God's Word every day. I can't think of a better way to go into business than to do so with God at the center." His favorite verses are Proverbs 3:5-6 which remind him of the importance of acknowledging God in all our ways so that He may direct our path. "We should pray for wisdom every day," Mr. Naugle said. He also suggested students read a Proverb a day. "Proverbs is the most practical and blessed book in the Bible. It contains advice for every relationship in life," he said.
Second, Mr. Naugle suggested the students take the time to create a personal mission statement. "Fifteen years ago, someone asked me what my personal mission statement was," Mr. Naugle explained. "I didn't have one at the time but I took the next six months to develop one." He added that having a personal mission statement helps you stay focused on your life's purpose and making the right priorities.
Rodger Naugle
Finally, Mr. Naugle encouraged students to find at least one accountability partner. "There is wisdom in a multitude of counselors," he said. "Don't surround yourself with 'yes people.' Find friends who will mentor and coach you through the big decisions of life."
Mr. Naugle also shared how his work in the business field had allowed him to develop personal relationships with his clientele. "If I spent ten years helping a couple prepare for their retirement, I would encourage them to also take time to plan for their eternal future," he said.
Mr. Naugle concluded by telling students, "You all have exciting things ahead of you but remember, all you will ever accomplish will be through Him."

It is not every day that a prince shows up to play a little baseball in Harlem, but that's exactly what happened Tuesday afternoon as Britain's Prince Harry continued his visit in the United States by playing baseball with kids there.
Jolita Brettler, 9, was definitely thrilled to be one of the lucky kids who played baseball this afternoon with His Royal Highness in Harlem.
Harry spent part of the afternoon at Harlem RBI's Field of Dreams. He came here to help launch a new partnership between Harlem RBI and the Royal Foundation. It will support the local non-profits youth coaching program called Project Coach.
The prince did not speak publicly. He got some baseball tips from Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira and 9-year-old Jeremiah Garcia.
The Prince then hit two balls straight to the outfield. The kids told me he seemed really fun and kind. He absolutely picked up some new royal fans.
Harry then headed to a Royal Foundation Fundraiser. He ends his weeklong U.S. trip with a polo match in Greenwich, Conn., on Wednesday.

Muslims generally strive to be generous and humble in their charitable contributions, but it is getting harder to do so in today's climate of suspicion and fear. Some Islamic charities have been shut down on allegations of re-routing funds to terrorist causes, causing Muslims to become wary of where their money is going. We advise each person to thoroughly research any organization before making a donation.
1. Mercy-USA for Aid and DevelopmentFounded in 1986, Mercy-USA is a non-profit relief and development organization. Their projects focus on improving health and promoting economic and educational growth around the world. Mercy-USA has received a 4-star rating by Charity Navigator.

2. Life for Relief and Development (LIFE)A non-governmental organization founded by Iraqi-American professionals in 1992, now providing humanitarian assistance to people in Iraq, Afghanistan, the Palestinian Territories, Jordan, Pakistan, and Sierra Leone. Charity Navigator rates LIFE as a 4-star charity. The LIFE website provides copies of their credentials with the US government and the United Nations, and registration documents for the countries in which they work.
3. Islamic ReliefIslamic Relief is an international relief and development organization with permanent offices in 35 countries. Islamic Relief's USA office has been given a 3-star rating by Charity Navigator. Islamic Relief works in partnership with other international aid organizations, church groups, and local relief agencies in the areas they serve.
4. Muslim AidMuslim Aid aims to provide emergency, long-term assistance and other charitable work to alleviate the pain of those suffering and in need of relief. Their focus is on sustainable development programs which tackle the root causes of poverty.
5. ICNA ReliefA program of the Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA), ICNA Relief is a humanitarian relief and development organization which responds to emergency and disaster situations at home and abroad. ICNA Relief runs special programs to help the needy in poor neighborhoods within North America.
6. International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent SocietiesThere are 186 National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies around the world, forming a network of volunteers and staff who have provided humanitarian services worldwide since 1919. The Red Crescent is used in place of the Red Cross in many Islamic countries, and all societies provide assistance without discrimination as to nationality, race, religious beliefs, class, or political opinions. Each national society is independent and supports the public authorities in their own country, with local knowledge and expertise, infrastructure, and access.
7. U.S. Treasury Dept. - List of Banned OrganizationsAs the "war on terrorism" continues, some Islamic charitable organizations have been targeted and shut down by the U.S. government under accusations of terrorist ties. The U.S. Treasury Dept. is responsible for administering sanctions against terrorists and other criminals. To ensure that your contribution reaches its intended recipients, steer clear of questionable groups and contribute through reputable, international organizations.

Can't find an Online PDF Reader
I have a newsletter that is made every quarter. It's designed for print and needs to be transfered online.
- should be mobile and ipad friendly and work across browsers (including Firefox, chrome, ie7 and up
- Needs to be HTML5 (We are phasing out flash)
- Must be able to open large in book view (book-like turning, we need the book experience)
- Don't really want outside branding (we would be willing to buy code )
- Needs to be fullscreen. (our users are old)
- Articles can only be read in in spread, because it was designed for print.
Does Adobe have anything?
Will Flexpaper work? http://flexpaper.devaldi.com/
The closest solution was Scribd, but doesn't work well in IE.
Here are other solutions that didn't work:
- 1. Issuu URL: http://issuu.com/
- 2. NxtBook URL: http://www.nxtbookmedia.com/index.php
- 3. Zinio URL: http://www.zinio.com/
- 4. Scribd URL: http://www.scribd.com/
Thanks for looking. Any feedback is appreciated.

Adobe has FlashPaper, which is what Scribd uses, or used to. I know the owner, so I would have to check with him what they use currently. The FlexPaper link you gave seems that they took FlashPaper and translated it from Flash to Flex. The creators of FlexPaper claim that their stuff is open source, but you have to pay for it? I don't know, but when I think of open source, I think of free software.

Question - why do you "need" the page turning experience?
From my own experience of using several sites that include that kind of page-turner, it's been utterly awful to use – slow to load, slow and difficult to navigate, hard to read because of the way the pages move – not to mention that it's going to be really, really tricky to find something that doesn't use Flash, let alone something that works on mobiles (if that's a deal-breaker then you might as well give up now).
What's wrong with good ol' PDF?

Shrum's Paula Jones Memory Loss: If Cain Didn't Do Anything, 'Why In The World Did They Pay?'
Be kind to Bob Shrum. Perhaps the 68-year old is suffering from the not-so-early-onset of some dread memory-loss syndrome.
How else to explain his suggestion on Al Sharpton's MSNBC show this evening that the National Restaurant Association's settlement for a relatively modest sum, in today's litigious world, proves that Herman Cain must have done something wrong? Does the failed presidential campaign consultant's support of Bill Clinton, despite his much larger, $850,000 settlement with Paula Jones while "adamantly denying" her claims, fire any synapses in Shrum's cerebrum? Video after the jump.
Consider Shrum's sad memory lapse. And remember that the reported five-figure settlements by the National Restaurant Association represent no more than a long-week's work for a team of big-time defense attorneys.
BOB SHRUM: I think the only way through this is for a release of those records from the National Restaurant Association. You can redact the women's names. But what was he alleged to have done? What did the investigation show? And if he didn't do anything, why in the world did they pay tens of thousands of dollars to these women?

. . to remember enough to understand - to clearly understand - that Shrum's memory lapse is representative of the bulk of the MSM. Even if they did remember - they would - all in unison now - not mention it again. Ever.
They have a difficult time in remembering that the dot.com bubble collapsed in March of 2000 - long before Bush even got his party's nomination; yet - they often offer up that Bush inherited a roaring economy. I recall that once in late 2002, Al Gore had to correct Chris Matthews on that on that one - and it didn't appear that Matthews was buying it.

If I remember the article correctly, at a Restaurant Association meeting, Cain exhibited some "physical gestures" though "not overtly sexual in nature" made these "women feel uncomfortable". Is that how you would describe Clinton's behavior? And I'm not just talking about cigars and blue dresses here, either. How about Brodderick's claim of a 'fat lip' and the sympathetic, "You better put some ice on that, hon."?
You leftards are all alike, people like Murtha,Rangel or Waters can make obviously corrupt deals with tax dollars, neglect to pay their own taxes, engage in all levels of deceit and cronyism, and y'all look the other way, name libraries after them and hang their portrait in the halls of Congress. But let a conservative ignore a parking ticket, or even (gasp!) be broke and in the rears, and it's time to sic the dogs and light the torches.

3. Infuriating a client due to "needless delays"
All untrue. I only "remember" these when I recall the Dept manager at my last job who accused me of #1 & #2, and yelled at me over #3. The arse never bothered apologizing either. And he really thought I'd join his new company when he left there to start his own consultancy. Jer, I recently was updating my resume and was thus reminded of that horrible boss. I do my best to try and forget crxp like that. Its not difficult to imagine Cain doing the same.

Free...re Herman Cain
Submitted by Jer on Tue, 11/01/2011 - 4:41pm.
First, notwithstanding my political and philosophical differences, I am a fan of Herman Cain. Not only are his academic credentials, post-education background, financial acumen and business accomplishments extraordinarily impressive, but also the fresh and somewhat unconventional approach he follows is a welcome and appealing contrast to the typical, formulaic, and more traditional campaigns for public office. [When was the last time a presidential candidate sang a soulful hymn in front of a group of media inquisitors?] Herman's energy, his maverick image, refreshing candor and natural charisma are the same qualities which prompted my early admiration for Sarah Palin [although Sarah's later decision to become a highly partisan sideline critic diminished her in my eyes while boosting her appeal to her conservative supporters].
Now, in light of the recent revelation of sexual harassment claims involving Cain over a decade ago, I find myself reacting with mixed feelings. From what I currently know of the substance of the charges--which isn't much--the 'offense' doesn't appear to be especially egregious nor the settlement particularly significant. And, frankly, I believe the disclosure of the episode, as I posted yesterday, could--and it may still--actually work to his benefit rather than his detriment, particularly so if Herman had responded directly and fully and consistently from the beginning. But, dammit, he answered like, well, like a politician! He initially claimed there was no settlement, or if there were a settlement, he was not aware of it and never told about it or had forgotten about it. And now his account has evolved to parsing and equivocating about it depending on what the meaning of the word "settlement" is. He was aware of an "agreement", but he doesn't necessarily equate that with a "settlement". So instead of standing on firm ground, he unfortunately managed to dig a bit of a hole for himself.
That said, barring some other related or unrelated bombshell, I don't see this as a campaign derailer. But, in my opinion, his shaky explanation and suspect recollection was more damaging than the known circumstances surrounding the original accusation of improper behavior.

Barack Obama Cheating Scandal, Affair With Vera Baker?
Submitted by email@example.com on Mon, 10/31/2011 - 11:01pm.
May 1st, 2010 SMSEO
Barack Obama Cheating Scandal, Affair with Vera Baker? Wow, this news is interesting to say the very least. Last night news was breaking via The National Enquirer that President Barack Obama is having an affair with a woman named Vera Baker. According The National Enquirer, Barack Obama and Vera Baker were caught in a Washington, DC hotel together. The Obama scandal says: ŌĆ£a confidential investigation has learned that Obama first became close to gorgeous 35 year-old VERA BAKER in 2004 when she worked tirelessly to get him elected to the US Senate, raising millions in campaign contributions.ŌĆØ The ENQUIRER has also learned that on-site hotel surveillance video camera footage could provide indisputable evidence. This is news that will definitely start spreading like wildfire this weekend if there is even a remote chance of evidence or truth to it. According to reports, independent anti-Obama agencies are offering more than $1 million dollars to reports and resources that come forward providing substantial evidence to confirm these rumors.
HereŌĆÖs the news that The National Enquirer is breaking:
A confidential investigation has learned that Obama first became close to gorgeous 35 year-old VERA BAKER in 2004 when she worked tirelessly to get him elected to the US Senate, raising millions in campaign contributions. While Baker has insisted in the past that ŌĆ£nothing happenedŌĆØ between them, the ENQUIRER has learned that top anti-Obama operatives are offering more than $1 million to witnesses to reveal what they know about the alleged hush-hush affair. Among those being offered money is a limo driver who says that he took Vera to a secret hotel rendezvous where the President was staying. On the condition of anonymity, the limo driver said he took Baker ŌĆ£from a friendŌĆÖs home in the DC area to the Hotel George where I learned later that Obama would be spending the night.ŌĆØ The driver recalled that he ŌĆ£waited in the lobby while she went to change her outfit. ŌĆ£But to the best of my knowledge she did not have a room at the hotel and she was not staying there so I thought that it was a bit odd.ŌĆØ The driver said he then picked up Obama at the airport and drove both he and Baker to various locations while he was campaigning for funds. Vera accompanied him to each meeting. ŌĆ£About 10:30 PM, I drove them to the hotel and they went in together! My services for the evening were done ŌĆō and there was no indication she was going to leave the hotel that night.ŌĆØ A top DC source told The ENQUIRER exclusively that the driverŌĆÖs account had been independently corroborated by investigators who believe the couple spent the night together at the hotel. The ENQUIRER has also learned that on-site hotel surveillance video camera footage could provide indisputable evidence. ŌĆ£Investigators are attempting to obtain a tape from the hotel (that) shows Vera and Barack together,ŌĆØ the DC insider confided. ŌĆ£If the tape surfaces, it will explode the scandal.ŌĆØ Hat Tip:

Cain's Appearance on Greta Van Sustern
Submitted by definer on Tue, 11/01/2011 - 10:32am.
Cain appeared on Greta van Sustern's show last night. From what he can remember (it's been at least 12 years) the formal complaint was found to be baseless but apparently was alleged after the woman had left the NRA's employment. He said he was told by the General Counsel that the payout amounted to what would have been a routine severance for a person who left the organization under good terms. He said he believed it would have been around three months salary for someone making $40-50K a year. At $50K three months salary would have been a "five figure payout" of $12,500.
Sounds to me like someone got laid off/fired and wanted some cash. If what Cain says is true (and no reason to disbelieve him) then she got what she would have gotten in a friendly parting of the ways and much less than trying to fight a baseless charge.

RightWingNews poll
by Jerome Armstrong, Wed Dec 09, 2009 at 03:59:47 PM EST
Who knows how much of a basis this poll has of being the Republican base, but lets assume it tells us something about who the Republicans nominate in 2012:
Yesterday, I polled RWN's readers on the following question:
If the 2012 Republican primary were today, which of these candidates would you vote for?
The results were a surprise, not because of who came in first, but because of the huge margin and how weak the rest of the field turned out to be in comparison to the front runner:
1) Sarah Palin: 46% (284 votes)
- Dick Cheney: 8% (52 votes)
- Bobby Jindal: 8% (51 votes)
- Mitt Romney: 7% (45 votes)
- Rick Santorum: 4% (25 votes)
- Ron Paul: 3% (24 votes)
- Tim Pawlenty: 3% (24 votes)
- Newt Gingrich: 3% (23 votes)
- Haley Barbour: 2% (17 votes)
- Mike Pence: 2% (14 votes)
- Rudy Guiliani: 2% (14 votes)
- Mike Huckabee: 2% (13 votes)
- Jeb Bush: 1% (12 votes)
- John Thune: 1% (8 votes)
- Lou Dobbs: 0% (0 votes)
And Rick Santorum is running too? Oh my. Lets get there. It's a lot better than reading day in and day out about the '10 trainwreck.
btw, I found out where McCain's "Country First" slogan originated. It's from Republican James Blaine, back during the 1862 midterm, when he was bringing together a pro-Union coalition of Republican and Democratic northerners for the midterm (which proved very unsuccessful), though it's "Unity" coalition was what Lincoln used in 1864 (National Unity) for his re-elect party umbrella. I came across it reading "Reelecting Lincoln: The Battle for the 1864 Presidency" which is a fabulous book. I'm unsure whether McCain's strategy was aware of the previous use of the slogan, though it seems doubtful. I always thought it was precursor to his going to choose Lieberman for the ticket, and instead he gave us Palin.
It seems to me too, that my first instinct at seeing her in action, that she was going to be a strong opponent to progressives for a long time to come, has panned out as to be the case. And, as long as she doesn't run, she will become very popular (approvals in the mid 50's) and have a loud megaphone. If she runs though, it falls apart. She's likable and good looking, and she taken to social media like a pro, but really has no shot at being elected to national office.

Pontypool RFC boss given role with Dragons
10:01am Wednesday 19th February 2014 in Sport
Ben Jeffreys is the Corporate Director of Pontypool RFC and has just started a similar position with the Dragons (4098196)
PONTYPOOL RFC corporate director Ben Jeffreys has been taken on in a marketing capacity by Newport Gwent Dragons to "enhance the Dragons brand".
Widely recognised as one of the driving forces behind Pooler's recent resurgence since his dad, Peter, helped save the club from bankruptcy in 2012, Mr Jeffreys has been taken on by the Dragons as a commercial and marketing consultant with immediate effect.
He will be responsible for reviewing the internal commercial structure of the organisation, initiating a market research campaign to determine the future direction of the Dragons brand.
But the former Duffryn High School student stressed it will not affect his role with Pooler, where he will remain corporate director and continue performing all duties associated with the position.
"I am thrilled and incredibly grateful to be joining the commercial team of Newport Gwent Dragons," he said, while adding that connecting with the Gwent region as a whole would be a key part of his remit.
"I am looking forward to working alongside the management team to further enhance the Dragons brand, particularly by maximising commercial effectiveness and developing platforms that aim to embrace and connect with the wider region on a tangible level," he said.
Mr Jeffreys has played a central role in recent dialogues over a growing disillusionment from grassroots rugby clubs and their fans within the regional set-up in Wales.
He has warned that historic clubs like Pontypool could die out, saying this would have potentially grave implications for regional fan bases and Welsh rugby as a whole.
Newport Gwent Dragons chief executive Gareth Davies said he was "delighted" to welcome him on board. "This appointment will assist us in plotting and planning the further development of our commercial activities, and will enable us to continue to build and strengthen Newport Gwent Dragons as a region," he said.
