Sourced from the 60-year-old vines off Bret Lopez's JJ Cohn Vineyard in Rutherford, and made by Celia Welch, this wine became a legend in just three short years. The vines were planted in 1945 by JJ Cohn (Lopez's Grandfather) in response to neighbor and Inglenook Manager John Daniel's post-war behest to plant vines to service the coming demand.

In two days, the East Stroudsburg Men's basketball team gets to do something its never done before. Host a regional in the NCAA Tournament. The Warriors are the top seed and ranked number two nationally after a season in which they've only lost one time. The Warriors have already made plenty of history on the road to the NCAA Tournament, now they're hoping to make some history in the NCAA Tournament. They open up Saturday evening against Livingstone, as part of the 8 team regional that will all be played in their gym, something that makes even the most stoic of Warrior players smile ear to ear.

Pet Peeves
People who intentionally and/or irresponsibly misrepresent facts to make their arguments. See Rush Limbaugh, Michael Moore, and anyone who has criticised the legal justice system based on the McDonald's case.
Queries that begin with a rhetorical question. Or queries that misspell my name, for that matter.
The 4-5-1 formation for soccer, unless you're Barcelona.
Editors who take six months and more to respond to your submission, and then don't have the dignity to apologize. And before you say turnaround is fair play, I always apologize in advance to authors when I've taken a long time in responding to a project.
Small people who use really big umbrellas. You know who you are.

One of mine is overweight people who wear tight, low rise jeans and have muffin tops.
As for the editors taking their time...I've been an unagented writer for fifteen years. I'm used to it. What I don't like are 90 day clauses in contracts, which means I don't get paid until 90 days after the book is released.

How about people who forward e-mails without checking first to see if it's just an urban legend? Very irritating.

Pet peeves?
1- The people who park in the drop off lane at the school halting traffic for two blocks.
2- People who flick cigarettes at you or swing cigarettes around in public, especially when they do it at thigh level for an adult/eye level for a child.
3- Forwarded e-mails in general.
4- People who don't get fantasy or sci-fi and insist on telling my book doesn't work because the goddess Diana is a myth and so I can't use her in a historical fantasy piece. Or any other random fictional character or event for that matter.
Oh! One more! My biggest pet peeve:
5- People who ask me when I'm going to get a "real" job or offer to take me to the mall to apply to work there because I'm suffering at home being a writer and Stay-at-Home Mom. Really, parenting is a full time job, the writing is freelance, and until I need more money than my husband earns I don't have a single reason to give up either.

I don't know. I like 4-3-3 a lot less than 4-5-1. I get more peeved about keepers who hold the ball for a week and a half before their goal kicks.
- February 28, 2008 at 11:11 AM
Great list of pet peeves, Jonathan.
Quick question for you based on the pet peeve of editors who take 6months to respond to your submission...
What do you think is a normal response time in a situation where an established agent (but not in the Binky Urban-Andrew Wylie stratosphere) submits a nonfiction book proposal for a first time author?
I know there are tons of specifics that can influence turn-around time. But at the most general level, what kind of time frames would be considered "normal" for the editor to respond.
- February 28, 2008 at 11:54 AM
- Jonathan Lyons said...
There are a ton of factors that can influence this, so I'm not sure if there is a "normal" situation and response time. I'll give it my best guess though - two to five weeks for your typical non-fiction proposal.
- February 28, 2008 at 12:06 PM

i love lists of pet peeves -- mike royko used to get readers to send them in, and he'd publish them. brilliant.
"editors who take six months and more to respond to your submission, and then don't have the dignity to apologize" amen to that.why is it so hard to reject something within a month?
in the spirit of sharing, my pet peeve are people who use umbrellas when it's snowing. feh.

Barcelona stole Henry from Arsenal. You wound me. People are still sore about that Mr. Lyons! Not suprising that they are a pretty good team since they have got one of the best strikers in the league.
Do you get nasty replys to e-jections or snail-jections often?

Not recently (fingers crossed)

You need a REALLY good sweeper back for the 4-5-1. I find formation in soccer to be highly dependant on the quality of your players.
I tend to start a new team with the 5-3-2 and adjust from there.
MY big pet peeve is the people that stop to chat or look around right at the top or bottom of the escaltor.

Experts React to Rhode Island Pension Reform Agreement
Monday, February 17, 2014
"This proposal should not be perceived as a victory by one side over another, rather it is a positive first step forward providing for the continued stability and predictability of the retirement system for decades to come. Crucially, this proposal does more than end the risks associated with a costly and protracted litigation. This settlement proposal would resolve six pending lawsuits contesting changes made in 2009, 2010 and 2011. It also demonstrates that our small state can lead the rest of the nation and come together to solve big problems," said Chafee and Raimondo.
See full details of proposed changes -- and timeline -- here.
Initial Reactions from Rhode Island Leaders
Gary Sasse, former Director of Administration and head of the Rhode Island Public Expenditure Council, said, "Labor's ability to negotiate give-back is a victory for public employees. There are no free lunches so the settlement will add to the future cost of state and local government. Increasing the unfunded liability is in marked contrast to the policy goals of pension reform."
Executive Director of the Rhode Island League of Cities and Towns Dan Beardsley took issue with the not just the settlement but with Govenor Chafee's statements at the press conference.
"First of all, I guess the Governor made a comment at the presser that "the lone dissenting vote by Dan Beardsley was probably coming from [Mayor] Fung's opposition" -- not only am I appalled that the Governor would stoop to such petty politics, as a former president of the League, he should be ashamed of himself for making such a comment," said Beardsley. "I've never cast a vote on the whims or wishes of one of my members -- I represent all the cities and towns, I'm not at the whim of one employee, those I've worked with have trusted me for over 40 years."
Beardsley continued, "As a member of retirement board, I cast a vote in opposition because the local share of teacher contributions will increase $7.9M in FY16, the MERS will increase 2.6 M in 2016, police and fire MERS units will increase by $600K in FY16. In all, the total unfunded accrued liability will increase by $109M.
"For what it's worth, the total cost increase may seem inconsequentially small to the administration overseeing an $8B budget, but tell that to the distressed communities, rubbing pennies together, like Pawtucket, and Woonsocket -- try to explain to those communities that this is inconsequential," said Beardsley.
Mayor Fung was vocal in his opposition following the settlement announcement. "I'm going to reach out to GA members not to approve this -- the increased costs will be passed down to taxpayers in FY16, as well as an increased unfunded liability. That's a concern of mine. I think once the taxpayers of Rhode Island start finding out what this bill could mean to them, they're doing to be concerned as well."
Taxpayers on Record
"My initial reaction, setting aside the details financially, it's a difficult pill to swallow," said Lisa Blais with Rhode Island taxpayer advocacy group OSTPA. "And to hear the Governor and Treasurer to talk about certainty, and financial stability and the right thing to do for taxpayers and pensioners -- and this is exactly what were heard in [2011] when the reform was advocated for, and was passed."
Blais continued, "The bottom line is that they completely avoided dealing with the big question of that lawsuits were brought based on the constitutionally of the [General Assembly] passing the statute, changing the detail of how the pension law would work -- and yet in secret mediation, labor isn't crying foul over constitutionally issue, because they've now bargained increased benefits."
"From a taxpayer perspective, it leaves many people with the feeling we're at the whim unions and politicians, that we're their ATM," said Blais. "We've got cities and towns teetering on the brink of bankruptcy, programs being cut, taxpayers who just recently had to deal with net property tax increases up until 20%, we're supposed to say, this isn't so bad? It's a hard pill to swallow to watch the Governor and General Treasurer ignore separation of powers -- they left the General Assembly out of the room altogether.'
Former Congressional candidate and financial analyst Michael Riley added, "I have concerns on the added cost to the many vulnerable cities and towns as well as the extended nature of the process. We really need to address the cities before its too late."

Let the courts do their job and decide the constitutional question first. Then, if any change is necessary, make it.
My city can't afford to add any more to our burdens we've been forced to put on our taxpayers. This will be another obstacle, imposed by the state,delaying our recovery from the economic collapse of 2008 and the abandonment of necessary support by the General Assembly.
Throw this settlement out.

Comment #4 by Christopher Lee on 2014 02 17
While adding to the pension liability is a legitimate concern, it seems this is a reasonable balance between competing legitimate interests to help low-pension retirees a bit and avoid the risks (to ALL sides) and certan high legal fees if this proposed deal is rejected.
Comment #5 by barry schiller on 2014 02 17
Comment #6 by Fruma Efreom on 2014 02 17
Does it seem they're getting ready for Broadway, so to speak? Things worked so well, the COLA-grab, the hedge fund follies, the 'return' of a few crumbs to retirees, that with this latest vote gag, they're moving on to bigger 'n' better takings?
And what a brilliant fall-guy choice, the most important 'first step' in any Constructed Fraud: 'Those bad, bad, eviw retirees and their lavish unsustainable lifestyles' are all at fault for this.
And for everything else, one might add.
At some point, expect them to blame the 38 Studios mess on 'bad, bad, eviw retirees' as well. And why not? It worked so well in this protracted instance, why not pull the same gag again? It works.
Awful. Expect more of it. Plan accordingly.

Theme: Identity?
Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
February 7th, 2013
About this event
Time will pass anyway, indeed we might just as well put that passing time to the best possible use.
Actually, We ,last year, were successful in consuming our time by organizing the first TED licensed by High School's teenagers under the theme of Altering our notions...Inspiring our society.
Hence, We are more determined to organize the event this year under our Identity's theme.
We do believe that every man must define his Identity; If he does not, he just falls back. Identity belongs to everything that we inherit, the rain, the skies, the speech, the knowledge,& the family and friends. So, by immersing ourselves in what we love and own, we FIND ourselves. And humans finding themselves, are perhaps the most successful.
In a nutshell, we can proudly declare that one of the most wonderful things in nature is a glance of the eye; it transcends speech; it is the bodily symbol of identity.
Let's speak out in TEDxOrubaSchool with our REAL IDENTITIES TO REGAIN OUR PREVIOUS LEADERSHIP!

Angels owner Arte Moreno gave his first major interview since the team raised the white flag in late July.
Bottom Line: Just like you, he ain't happy. Unlike you, though, he has no answers. He even blames himself a little.
Here is a LINK TO THE INTERVIEW with El Jefe and what follows is a blow-by-blow of the talk he had with Barry Bloom, MLB's National (i.e. "stationed in New York") Reporter.
Here are the cliff notes of the piece:
The team was great on paper.
He quotes Richard Pryor of all people. No, he didn't drop a freebase pipe and scream "I'm on fire!" He brings up an old line... Pryor is at the Doctor's and the physician asks what are the symptoms - Pryor answers "You're looking at the symptoms." What this means is Arte feels it should be painfully obvious that the corpus angelicus - the whole body of the team, is ailing.
Mentioning the lousy April starts the Angels have been getting puts Arte into a mild "no-comment" and then he hints that this will be addressed on D-Day ...when the season ends. Since Scioscia can be somewhat blamed for lousy starts and not Dipoto, my money is on a Scioscia firing and a Jedi retention.
He then deflects two questions about Scioscia, offering only that Mike is patient - sounds casual but maybe that is a backhanded slap at Scioscia. Maybe being patient is what has ruined this team.
When Dipoto is brought up he states that everyone will be evaluated but he talks about the organization as a group... Scioscia gets singled out in Arte's comments but Jerry seems to still be "one of us".
When it is pointed out that Arte seems to be evaluating everyone and not waiting until D-Day, Arte says he is always evaluating and insists there is not going to be a five-year rebuilding plan.
He implies that D-Day will be soon after the end of the season.
He is upbeat about Albert Pujols but is not so certain about whether he will be back this year. As this interview was published, the team announced that Pujols will be held out for the rest of the season. Pujols did not want it this way but has accepted the team's decision.
On Josh Hamilton being terrible he seems miffed "Your guess is as good as mine". When a billionaire says those words he has stared into the abyss.
When the pitching is addressed he blames injuries and announces that he likes C.J. Wilson, calling him a bulldog. So that is what you call a nibbler when you are paying him to nibble!
On the bullpen being terrible he reminds us all of lost gambles on Ryan Madson and Sean Burnett. Smells like a forgiving tone on a DiPoto move.
The talk of a new stadium is brought up and instead of hassling Anaheim as a negotiating ploy he talks about improving the stadium infrastructure. He's staying put. You can confidently request that your ashes be scattered at Angel Stadium knowing they will be there for a long time. Of course, you will be there with my ashes so take a bath on your death bed please.
And, finally, he says he is happy for the Dodgers and that their success does not impact his bottom line. See he is delusional about more than just aging outfield sluggers!!!

Whether you like the pick or not, you have to like the way Justin Pugh reacted to the news he had been selected by the New York Giants in the first round of the 2013 NFL Draft.
What attracted the Giants to Justin Pugh? In addition to talent, the fact that they believe they could play him anywhere on the offensive line.
Some analysts can see the logic of the Giants selection of Justin Pugh, others don't understand why the Giants went against what they usually do in the NFL Draft.
Are you as surprised as I was with this pick, one that might be a little bit off the reservation?
Syracuse offensive lineman Justin Pugh was a surprise selection for the Giants on Thursday night.
Here is a new open thread for you to carry you the rest of the way through Round 1. The old one, which you can find here, is now closed for comment. ROUND 1 # Team Player Pos. College 1...
Discuss what happens leading up to the Giants pick with this open thread.
A player I think the Giants take in the second round if available, but consider at 19, and especially if they move back any.
The real draft is almost here. Let's take one last look at some final mocks.

The "Wall Street Journal" has obtained a confidential document sent from European Union (EU) antitrust regulators to Microsoft last month, warning the software giant that a release of its Windows source code would not meet the EU's requirements. Last week, you may recall, Microsoft announced with great fanfare that it would release portions of its Windows source code in a bid to meet its overdue EU antitrust requirements. Microsoft general console called the move "a bold stroke" when it was announced.
The Windows "source code was never asked for nor indeed welcomed," a British computer scientist wrote in a report describing Microsoft's botched attempt to meet European antitrust demands. You may recall that EU antitrust commissioner Neelie Kroes said she was "surprised" that Microsoft made the source code offer last week. Given this revelation, her comments can be put in perspective: She's surprised because the EU specifically told the company that a source code release would not meet its requirements.

Secure America Now (SAN) is a hawkish advocacy group founded in 2011 by pollsters John McLaughlin and Pat Caddell. The group produces political ads and policy analyses in an effort to "inject national security issues into the public dialogue."[1] A high-profile "member" of the group is Devon Cross, a longstanding neoconservative activist who has supported a number of militarist advocacy initiatives, including the Project for the New American Century.[2]
Describing its origins, Secure America Now's website states, "Since the attacks on 9-11, Americans have frequently questioned their government's response to domestic and international challenges to our security. We are Democrats, Republicans, Independents, conservatives and liberals who share a common concern about our security and liberty. Our concerns have led us to create an organization that allows the American people to influence American security and foreign policy."[3]
SAN functions as a 501(c)4 organization, which is a special tax-exempt status for "social welfare" groups that allows an organization's donors to remain anonymous—thereby "leaving voters unable to evaluate which interests might be funding ads or what their motives are," as one observer noted.[4] Because of the growing role played by 501(c)4s like Secure America Now in the 2012 election, these groups were at the center of a debate between Republican and Democratic leaders. Democrats, who viewed 501(c)4s as disproportionately benefiting the Romney/Ryan campaign, claimed that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) should apply a "bright-line" assessment of these groups that imposes "a strict, percentage-based cap on the amount of a nonprofit group's spending that can go towards political activities." Republicans responded that such an assessment would be lead to the subversion of the IRS for "partisan political gains."[5]
Secure America Now also claims to operate a 501(c)3 foundation that conducts "research into security issues that the media is not covering."[6] As of mid-2012, there was very little available information about this foundation. Various sources at the time, however, indicated that an organization called the "Secure American Now Foundation" was based at the Washington law firm of Whiteford, Taylor, and Preston under the leadership of firm partner Jeffrey P. Altman.[7]
SAN's claims to bipartisanship are belied by its advocacy efforts, which during the 2012 presidential campaign included producing numerous misleading ads targeting the Obama administration's foreign policy. A key focus of these ads was Iran, with several ads making the unproven claim that the country is developing nuclear weapons. (The U.S. intelligence community has repeatedly argued that there is little evidence showing that an Iranian nuclear bomb program exists.)
In one such ad, a suburban mother complains that President Obama has made the United States less secure because of a litany of purportedly irresponsible actions, including shutting down the "black sites"—the secret foreign detention facilities that were used by the CIA to interrogate terror suspects—ceasing the use of "enhanced interrogation" techniques, "all but abandoning Israel," "apologizing for America," failing to stop Iran from allegedly trying to develop a nuclear weapon, and "making clear the era of American exceptionalism is over." Commented one writer for the Huffington Post: The ad complains "that the Obama administration hasn't been Dick Cheney enough in their pursuit of terrorists. This comes despite the fact that by many accounts, the Obama administration has exceeded Cheneyism in ways that even trouble writers at the National Review."[8]
Another Secure American Now ad from 2012 claimed that in his first interview as president, "Obama chose Arab TV for an apology," referring to the president's first interview in the White House, during which he said to a reporter from the Dubai-based Al Arabiya that "all too often the United States starts by dictating." The ad also shows Obama saying that it is "important for us to be willing to talk to Iran," with a voiceover in the ad then claiming that "Iran answered with terror, attacks on our troops and nuclear weapons development. … Tell President Obama: no apologies, no weakness. It's time to stop Iran."
In its assessment of this ad, Politifact.com concluded: "Obama's first television interview after taking office was with the Al Arabiya network at the White House. But the ad gets nothing right beyond that. By saying 'all too often the United States starts by dictating,' Obama was not apologizing but being diplomatic about past strategies that failed to yield results. What's more, the ad criticizes Obama's approach to Iran, but his quote actually referred to the Israelis and the Palestinians."[9]
Push Polling
Secure America Now has been criticized for attempting to mask a right-wing, "pro-Israel" agenda with misleading claims about bipartisanship. For instance, in a report about a poll it released in July 2011 that purported to demonstrate that Jewish Americans were abandoning the Democratic Party, the Washington Post's Plum Line reported, "Republicans are touting yet another poll that purports to predict the end of the Jewish allegiance to the Democratic Party. Citing a new poll by Republican John McLaughlin and Pat Caddell, the GOP's favorite 'Democrat,' they have convinced themselves that this time, Obama really is in trouble among Jewish voters."[10]
The heavily criticized poll claimed to show that large numbers of Jewish Americans were disillusioned with President Barack Obama over his handling of the U.S.-Israel relationship.[11] But according to the Post, the poll was "laughably bogus" because of its flawed sampling techniques and misleading questions.[12] According to Think Progress, "the Post's polling manager slammed McLaughlin and Caddell's poll—an uncommon move for a major news organization's pollster—as 'a clear example of advocacy polling.'"[13]
In a report about the poll, Think Progress's Eli Clifton wrote that although it was officially released by McLaughlin and Caddell, it had been commissioned by Secure America Now, with whom the two pollsters appeared to hide their connections.
Reported Clifton: "Think Progress asked John McLaughlin about Secure America Now and he told us: 'Pat [Caddell] and I worked with [Secure America Now] to do the survey. [...] They paid for it.' When asked yesterday if he could provide a contact name for the organization, he responded that he would have to get back to us since 'I don't want to give you the wrong information.' A little research revealed an article on the conservative Big Peace website from February, discussing how Secure America Now was founded by John McLaughlin and Pat Caddell to 'inject national security issues into the public dialogue.' McLaughlin acknowledged his leadership role at Secure America Now in a phone conversation today, and explaining to Think Progress why he didn't provide a contact name yesterday because: 'We don't have any staff yet so that's what I was looking for. You know, we're just putting [Secure America Now] together.' The poll makes no mention of the fact that an organization Caddell described as 'a grassroots place where people can join up and begin to do things to force [national security and foreign policy] issues into the debate,' commissioned its own founders to conduct the poll.'"[14]
The pollster John Zogby commented: "Frankly, I don't understand why two names like John McLaughlin and Pat Caddell can't just say 'Hey, we did a poll.' So it's the old watergate question, who actually paid for it? [...] It is odd. These are two experienced, credible pollsters. Let's lay that out and that's accepted. This is clumsy. They should know better than to do something this way."[15]
In September 2011, Secure America Now released another controversial poll, this one claiming to show that Americans view Iran as the top U.S. security threat. In a press release about the poll, Devon Cross stated: "Though both the Bush and Obama administrations have been reticent to consider military options to address the threat posed by Iranian nukes, the American people are prepared to support such action should sanctions fail. Americans across the political spectrum are focused on security, even though these issues get far less attention from politicians than these polling numbers indicate they should."[16]
Discussing the poll, Ben Smith of Politico wrote: "The group has been accused in the past of running leading questions, and elsewhere in the poll there do seem to be some of those. For instance: 'Do you think that if the Palestinians are given their own state in the West Bank and Gaza they would live peacefully with Israel or continue their campaign of terror to destroy Israel?'"[17]
In its review of the poll, Salon.com pointed out that it was based on a highly skewed sample of respondents, 52 percent of whom claimed to be evangelical or born-again Christians. "So 52% of the respondents are self-identified evangelicals. If that strikes you as high, that's because it probably is. Authoritative polls on Americans' religious identification diverge significantly from the Secure America Now poll on this point. An ABC/BeliefNet poll in 2001, for example, found that just 31% of Americans (or 37% of Christians) identified as evangelical or born-again. On the higher end, Gallup found that in 2005 that same number was 43%. And in a massive survey in 2009, Pew found that just 26% of Americans belong to evangelical Protestant churches. So it looks like the Secure America Now poll over-sampled evangelicals, who naturally are more likely to be hawkish on the questions of Israel and Iran that the poll focuses on."[18]

White Collar Crime
Fired lawyer charged with stealing client fees from former firm
Posted Jul 11, 2013 4:02 PM CDT
By Mark Hansen
A New Jersey lawyer has been charged with misappropriating client fees intended for his former firm.
Darren P. Leotti, 48, is facing a theft charge for allegedly diverting client payments meant for the Somerset, N.J., firm Mauro, Savo, Camerino, Grant & Schalk to himself, the Newark Star-Ledger reports.
Leotti, who has been fired by the firm and temporarily suspended from practice, did not return the Star-Ledger's call for comment. The firm declined comment.
According to a complaint filed Wednesday in Superior Court, Leotti allegedly stole the money over a 17-month period in 2011 and 2012 by having client fees deposited into his personal bank account rather than into the firm's trust accounts. The complaint says that more than $500 were stolen; documents from an investigation by the state Office of Attorney Ethics claim that the amount was about $30,000.
Other claims of misconduct from that investigation are that Leotti also falsified several court documents and presented them to a client to mislead the client into believing a case was progressing; and lied to another client that their case had been dismissed, later removing documents from the firm's files to conceal what he had done.
The ethics office's petition to temporarily suspend him from practice was approved in April by the state supreme court.

The candidate who was defeated by John House for the Republican nomination for Georgia's Second Congressional District race has endorsed House.
House is running against Democrat Sanford Bishop, who has not faced a serious challenge to his seat in recent elections.
Allen was endorsed by Albany area state legislators, but failed to edge House in the July primary.
Bishop, a Columbus native, has served in the congress since 1992, having turned back every challenger.
Here is Rick Allen's news release-
I would like to congratulate US Congressional Candidate John House for running a strong, and well laid out campaign that has led to his being the republican nominee in Georgia's Second Congressional District race. John is a well qualified, pro-constitution conservative who has a deep understanding of the importance of restoring the foundational principles that have made our country prosperous and free, and he believes our individual rights must be preserved. I had the unique opportunity to be in John's presence on many occasions while running against him in the recent republican primary and I can verify that he promoted many values and issues that I similarly espouse. A strong military, the restoration of morality and accountability in government, fiscal responsibility, American energy independence, lower taxes, common sense small business solutions for increased job growth, and a strong belief in American Exceptionalism are core issues I believe we both share. John believes that all the citizens of the second district do want and deserve a better future, and believe as I do, that a true conservative who will represent all constituents equally, and will fight against excessive regulations, while breaking down barriers that are blocking job creation, will be able to turn this district around and set the course for a bright economic future. Lives and dreams have been put on hold because of poor representation that has advanced the negative policies of the Democratic Party, which have failed miserably, and have led the district in the wrong and declining direction of poverty, hopelessness, and increased dependence.
From traveling through SW Georgia I know there is much uncertainty and despair about what the future holds among voters, but I want to assure them that I have extreme confidence that John House is the right candidate, at the right time, who can make a positive difference in fairly and effectively representing their lives and aspirations in Washington, and will fight for positive change and a better future for all the citizens of SW Georgia. For these reasons I would like to heartily endorse the candidacy of John House, who I feel is eminently qualified, and will do a great job serving as the next US Representative for the Second District of Georgia. Rick Allen, Columbus Former 2012 Candidate for US Congress Georgia District 2

Evolution has its limits, study finds
A recent scientific study investigating how quickly species evolve when they spread to new geographical areas reveals that some invading species hit evolutionary boundaries, halting their ability to adapt to new environments. Findings from the study could be used to discover the evolutionary limits of invasive species.
"Our results show that evolution can happen quickly when plant and animal species are colonizing new parts of the globe, and humans are causing this to happen at a phenomenal rate," says Biology professor Chris Eckert. "Every species has geographical range limits, but we don't know why."
The researchers studied purple loosestrife, an invasive plant species brought to Canada from Eurasia in the early 1800s on ship ballasts and as garden plants. Since then, the plant has spread up and down the eastern seaboard, as far north as Timmins Ontario, and across North America. It has become one of the most high-profile invaders in North America, where it is reputed to radically change wetlands, push out native plants, and reduce biodiversity.
In the case of purple loosestrife it seems that strong natural selection acting on populations as they spread northward has exhausted genetic variation for important traits. These results provide some hint as to what causes that evolutionary process to stop.
By studying a large number of North American populations from south to north, both in natural populations and in experimental garden environments, the researchers showed that purple loosestrife has undergone striking evolutionary change as it has spread into northern Ontario.
Plants grown from Timmins seeds, even when grown in Virginia near the southern end of the study area, flowered much earlier than their made-in-America counterparts. This is reflective of an evolutionary adaptation in the plant that allows it to survive, flower and produce seeds in colder, less hospitable climates with shorter growing seasons. But the purple loosestrife has paid a price when adapting to a northern climate -- seeds from the northern populations grew smaller, producing less fertile offspring, no matter where they were planted.
Northern populations also exhibited the tell-tale signs of running out of the genetic variation for flowering time that is so essential for natural selection to produce plants adapted to even more northerly climes.
Robert Colautti from the University of Toronto is lead author on the paper, which was recently published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B.
The next step will be to bring these plant populations into the lab and try to make them evolve artificially.

When you are mailing in your payment on April 15th don't forget, the guy Obama named as head of the Internal Revenue Service (the one whose name is on your dollar bills) admitted he was a tax cheater but only paid some of the back taxes he owed. Do you think you can do the same? You, would have # 3?65?92 printed on the back of your prison shirt.

Lady Godiva…What Sign?
This is an artist's depiction of Lady Godiva, and I am guessing she is portrayed right at the MOMENT she is thinking 'fuq it' and deciding to ride naked around the streets of her city, to protest hubby's harsh taxation laws.
His name is Leofric. History does not reveal either of their birthdates. But I am thinking that Godiva is a Saggo – given to public displays of protest, love of nudity and ability to ride. And Leofric – look at him – is a Taurus.
Thoughts? Come on, you KNOW Lady Godiva just HAD to be a Saggo? Aquarius also likes to protest things but would recoil at public nudity I fear. A Pisces who has just hit upon the perfect excuse to ride past nude past the house of the knight she fancies? Whatever, from this picture, it looks like he is thinking he wishes he'd listened to his haruspex and married the Capricorn armour couterier down the road.

Fun in the Snow
12/15/2013 (Updated 10:46:37 PM)We had our first big snow fall here in the southern tier Saturday night and got tons of snow! And when you get snow you can always expect to see children and families enjoying it.
Dozens of little ones and their parents headed to the big hill at Maine-Endwell High School. There they went sleigh riding, snow boarding and tubing.
Fox 40 caught up with some of them and asked what their favorite part of the day was.
"Hanging out with my friends and having a good time," one boy said.
"Sledding!" a little girl told us.
"Going down the big hill and having fun," another boy said.
Families have been going to the high school for years to play in the snow. It's become a winter tradition for many.

North Carolina introduced Larry Fedora its new head football coach on Friday.
The new coach spoke to media alongside North Carolina athletic director Bubba Cunningham and chancellor Holden Thorp.
"I am honored and privileged to be the head football coach at the University of North Carolina. Let me say that again, I am honored and privileged to be the head football coach at the University of North Carolina. I've got to say that over and over again so that it'll sink in."
Thorp felt as though Fedora was a great fit for the university, which is looking to move past the allegations and investigations of the Butch Davis era.
"Larry Fedora is going to be a great fit for North Carolina. When I met with him it was clear that he understands that we are committed to being competitive in football and to building a program that exemplifies Carolina's values."
Fedora said that he was undaunted to be the person coming in to clean up the house, so to speak.
"To be honest with you, it didn't scare me. I've got a saying that adversity, it's going to happen and it brings out the best in all of us. But when it does, you look it in the eye, you grab it by the throat and you choke it. ... That's what we're going to do with whatever adversity comes up, now or in the future."
Fedora will receive annual retention bonuses ranging from $100,000 to $350,000 beginning in 2015, as well as a one-time payment of $400,000 in the first year and an annual expense allowance of $30,000.
Before taking over at UNC, Fedora will guide Southern Miss in the Hawaii Bowl against Nevada on December 24.
Fedora's first team at Southern Miss broke 36 school records. He had previously been an assistant on the collegiate level at Oklahoma State, Florida, Middle Tennessee, Air Force and Baylor.
North Carolina finished 7-5 this season under interim coach Everett Withers, who will lead the Tar Heels in the Independence Bowl against Missouri on December 26.

After decades on the political sidelines, liberalism is making a comeback. Polls show plunging support for Republicans and their brand of conservatism among young, independent voters and Latinos. But what kind of liberalism is emerging as the dominant voice in the Democratic Party?

Several sites in Alabama were in contention for the Remington Outdoor Company's expansion, which announced Monday it would be coming to Huntsville.
DeKalb County has approximately a dozen old sock mills available for business and industry. Fort Payne's economic development director said the city got an initial look for the Remington plant.
Several mills remain vacant, but none were submitted as a possibility for luring the gun manufacturer to the county. Jimmy Durham said they just didn't have a building large enough, and low ceilings in many of the mills made them a hard sell.
Durham said they did put in a proposal for the Jacoway property, but that would have required the company to build from scratch. He said it was also hard to lure the company to the area due to the availability of an appropriate workforce.
Having an existing building to show prospective tenants is a plus; Durham said sometimes just having one entices a business to come look. If they don't like the building, they may love the area and consider building fresh.
Durham said they also have to work to get clients to come to town. "We go to trade shows, talk to people that might be looking at relocating somewhere else and let them know about the buildings that we have available," he said.
Durham reported some recent success, saying that they plan to make an announcement regarding one of the buildings in the next few weeks.

Pico-Hydropower Franchising: A Test Bed in Rural Honduras
Baylor University, 2007 - $50,000
Many poor villages in developing countries are located in isolated mountainous areas without access to grid-based electric power. Without electricity, villagers burn a variety of fuels for energy, which can lead to respiratory disease and environmental degradation. At the same time, a number of these villages have nearby streams that represent a considerable untapped natural resource for energy creation. This team aims to take advantage of those stream, creating village-level pico-hydro systems that harness the small mountain streams to produce enough energy to serve the villages. This team has already developed and installed one pico-hydro systems sustainable by building them into community-owned businesses. Specifically, they will develop business plans for two types of companies: franchised power-producing operations in rural villages (villagers running the pico-hydro systems), and system design companies located in nearby urban centers. The team expects to create three to six more prototype systems in Honduran villages similar to Pueblo Nuevo.

A contemporary floor lamp with hints of classic Mission style.
A dark bronze finish and graceful arcs give this Tiffany style floor lamp a contemporary twist. Three honey and amber colored glass shades adorn the arms. The secure round base is made of genuine black marble.
Customers most agreed on the following attributes:
In the box there is an odd looking piece of plastic. I figured out that it was to help assemble the glass part of the lamp. It's hard to explain but at least you will know more then I did. LOL Enjoy the lamp it is big and beautiful I love it. It looks great behind my sectional. I ordered the very small 40 watt spot light bulbs. They are perfect.
Love this floor lamp! The colors are gorgeous and having the option to turn on 1, 2 or all 3 lights is wonderful.
This lamp looks great behind my sectional. It is big and tall. Make sure your room can handle it. A little hard to put together. I am trying to find the perfect bulb because they show.

- Man Unaware of Partying Teens' Apparent Trespass Until He Spotted Facebook Photos Taken in His House
Man Unaware of Partying Teens' Apparent Trespass Until He Spotted Facebook Photos Taken in His House
Posted Oct 2, 2012 3:04 PM CDT
By Martha Neil
News of criminal suspects being identified by posts on Facebook and other social media sites isn't all that unusual.
But a homeowner in Tega Cay, S.C., didn't even know his house had been the site of an apparent trespass by partying teens, at a time when the entire family was away on vacation, until he spotted some photos online, NBC Charlotte reports.
After he came across the photos on Facebook, said the unidentified 39-year-old man, "I'm looking at them like, 'Wait, this is my house!'" Although he said the seeming teenagers were "running around doing lewd things with funnels, throwing up in the sink, passed out on the kitchen floor," they also apparently cleaned up afterward, so the family saw no sign of damage to alert them when then arrived home after their trip.
The man said he recognized the teens as classmates of his children. His children were subsequently able to get some details about what had happened at their home around the time of the July 4 holiday by talking to some of their acquaintances, according to the article.
Using photo tagging information, Tega Cay police officers have made a list of suspects and are trying to reach their families.

Rush Limbaugh, vacationing in Hawaii, has been taken to a hospital with chest pains. His condition is described as serious. Liberals on the web are already rejoicing.

Here's the rundown.....traded for the cub & it had a slight miss, kind of what I'd call a tick. Nothing steady and didn't affect RPM's or power. Put seafoam and Marvel mystery oil in the gas, ran it for 3 minutes and the miss went away and it ran smooth. About 1/2 way through the tank, the miss, or tick, returned. Annoying, but no problem.
Now the engine is missing badly and won't get up to full RPM's. Had a set of new plugs for another Cub I've got to go pick up so I changed the plugs. Same thing. Got out the voltmeter and started checking spark. Everything was ok. Went to pull the boot back on #2 spark plug and the plug wire pulled off by accident, but lo and behold, no change in the engine. Ran exactly the same. Replaced the plug, no change. Pulled each of the other 3, and the engine ran worseout after pulling each of the other 3. Pulled the #2 plug and it had a light oily film, but didn't appear to have been combusting. Ground the plug and turned over the engine and it had good spark. Is this a stuck valve or what? Please let it be something simple! Lol

Our outdoor Patio furniture is maintenance free and built to last.
Our "all weather cushions" are made with either a spun polyester or acrylic
fabric and a outdoor polyester or outdoor foam fill. We have done our home
work, you can be confident all our "all weather wicker" is not only beautiful but it is built to last. Outdoor wicker
Patio furniture can be made with a variety of
materials. The most common type is constructed
with either a steel or aluminum frame wrapped
with all
weather high density polyethylene synthetic wicker. If you live near the ocean we recommend you do not
buy the steel frame type because salt air might cause it to rust,
whereas, aluminum frames will not rust. The
steel frame type
will probably last a very long time but if you damage the outer shell of
paint it could rust.
At Kozy Kingdom we have decided to sell both aluminum frames
and steel frames types. You could save money on
the steel frame type and because of improvements in "powder coating" paint
techniques this option is often a good choice. We have indicated
which items are aluminum and which items are steel
Whether you need furniture for a pool area, deck, gazebo, patio, porch
are any other outside
area you will find our furniture to be as comfortable as it
is durable and beautiful.
You can also use our "all weather
wicker" in an enclosed area such as a sunroom, living room, den, family
room, or great room. Just because our outdoor furniture
is tough enough for the outdoors, doesn't mean it's not comfortable and
great looking enough to be used indoors as well.
Maintenance tips
outdoor furniture is constructed with an aluminum or
steel frame wrapped with resin/vinyl. You can clean this
type of furniture by using a mild detergent and washing with a
garden hose. Unlike natural wicker you can do this several time
during the season because this type of furniture is made to
withstand constant moisture.

Dolphins head into final weekend of play looking to improve seeding
Even with two losses last weekend, the Jacksonville University women's soccer team clinched a spot in the Atlantic Sun Tournament. JU currently sits in sixth in the conference but has the potential to move two spots to fourth and host a first round game.
The Dolphins will take on ETSU Friday night at the Ashley Sports Complex in a matchup that will go a long way in determining the conference seeding. JU will then return for the regular season finale and senior day on Sunday afternoon when it hosts USC Upstate.
Jacksonville will have its hands full when the Bucs come to town as ETSU junior Ramey Kerns has scored a league leading 15 goals on the season and ranks in the top 10 nationally. Freshman Sarah Zadrazil has hooked up with Kerns on many of those goals as she has posted nine assists so far this season which is also ranked in the top 10 nationally. The Dolphins hold a 5-3-2 all-time series advantage, however ETSU was able to win last season's match 3-0 in Johnson City.
Sunday will not only mark the end of the regular season for the Dolphins, but it will also be the final regular season home game for six of the Dolphin seniors. Marleigh Mlinac, Arianne Heaton, Kelsey Latham, Becca Massip, Emily Culbreth, and Eva Leeper have posted a 38-23-13 record in their four years as Dolphins including a share of the 2011 Atlantic Sun regular season title and a berth in the 2010 conference tournament championship game.
JU will host the Spartans for senior day at 2:00 p.m. USC Upstate has never defeated the Dolphins in five tries. They enter into the weekend with a 1-6-0 conference record and have been eliminated from postseason play but will be looking to play spoiler and keep the Dolphins from having the chance to host a tournament game.
Fans can follow along with live stats at judolphins.com or watch the games at ASun.tv.

Day 1 (Seattle and Mount Rainier National Park) Meet your guides in Seattle this morning and head south for the 80-mile drive to Mt. Rainier National Parks Nisqually entrance. There are some nice trails through old-growth forest in this area, and there might be a chance to walk through the historic buildings of Longmire. Settle in for the night at Ashford, just a mile from the park.
Day 2 (Mount Rainier National Park) Today well get all the way to Paradise, famous for its glorious views and vibrant wildflower meadows (which are blanketed in the winter with an average 680 inches of snow). Rainiers many hiking trails lead to crystalline high-mountain lakes, cascading waterfalls, meandering streams, lush meadows, and scenic vistas of the peaks and glaciers. Whichever trail the guide chooses today will be heaven.
Day 3 (Mount St. Helens National Volcanic Monument) A 2-hour drive takes us to Mount St. Helens and the Johnston Ridge Observatory, with its interpretive center and phenomenal view of the blast zone. During the May 18, 1980 blast, a dark cloud of ash rose thousands of feet in the air and slurries of rock and mud ran down the volcanos slopes.

I bought this writing desk a few days ago. Despite their fast shipping, this writing desk is very easy to put them together. The desk is not that small, it still has space available after I put my laptop there and other paper works. Since I don�t have that much room available in my bedroom, it fits perfectly in my room with limited space. I really recommend it to people who want a comfortable workplace with a little space.
The directions and hardware were some of the worst I have ever dealt with-and I have assembled numerous pieces of furniture. It had some worn places on the finish and the wood is soft and the hardware bubbles the wood when assembling. I needed this table for an office utility closet. It will not be seen by anyone but the computer guy, so I am keeping it because I had the exact square inches where it fit.
I've been working on Step 1 for two hours, and I still haven't gotten it put together. And I'm the handy one in the house. Ugh. Miniscule diagrams with poor labeling of parts. I'm having to take a break, and I thought I would be nearly done by now.
I received the desk a few days after I purchased but when I opened the box (which was badly beat up), some of the wood pieces were damaged. The wood on some of the pieces is flimsy. In addition, the instructions were not clear whatsoever so I can see the frustration other purchasers had. The picture looks like a high-quality sturdy desk, but it's very light weight wood.
Once its assembled it looks great, but the screws that came with it were very poor quality and broke. We ended up using different screws. Also the assembly instructions are awful, Luckily my husband figured it all out by himself. For someone who is not that handy you will definitely have problems putting it together. In our case it would have been more trouble to return it.
When I got it I was very excited until I opened the box and saw that the right side of the desk is damaged along with the right leg. It is not a level desk, when I put it in my room I couldn't open the drawer without stabilizing it first with my hand.... The size is good for a small space but if you can, buy one at a store not online. You might end up with c*** like I got.
When assembling this desk, you cannot screw the cam screws all the way into the pre-drilled holes or they will be too short to fit into the cam locks provided. After about three and a half hours, I had the desk together. Then I put the drawer in and it wouldn't slide all the way into the slot. When I pulled it out, two cam locks fell out of it and it essentially fell apart in my hands. I'm going to simply glue the drawer facing on the front to hide the hole and not use it as a drawer. Since all I really need is a small table for my computer, I won't return it; but, if you want this to function the way it is designed - DO NOT BUY THIS!!!!

decent desk. good sturdy construction- didn't blow me away but is a great size
After ordering, I received the product before the date indicated and there was one piece which was damaged. I emailed them and they immediately sent another. The service with overstock is excellent.
