Asked directly whether the Washington Redskins should change their name, Roger Goodell said the NFL needs to "make sure we're doing what's right."
Speaking at the conclusion of the league's fall meetings Tuesday, the commissioner noted that he grew up in the Washington area rooting for the city's football team and "by no means ... have I ever considered it derogatory as a fan, and I think that's how Redskins fans would look at it."
The topic was not part of the formal agenda for the meetings — Goodell said "there may have been discussions between some of the owners, but not on the floor" — and yet it was the subject of four of the first five questions posed at his news conference at a Washington hotel.
"Whenever you have a situation like this, you have to listen and recognize that some other people may have different perspectives, and clearly there are cases where that's true here," Goodell said. "And that's what I've suggested and I've been open about — that we need to listen, carefully listen, and make sure we're doing what's right."
Asked whether Redskins owner Dan Snyder, who has vowed that he'll never change the club's name, has been listening, Goodell said: "I am confident that the Redskins are listening and I'm confident that they're sensitive to their fans — to the views of people that are not only their fans but are not their fans."
Snyder did not speak to reporters on his way out of the daylong meetings. General manager Bruce Allen deflected a question about the team's name before walking away, saying, "We're focused on the Cowboy game this week. Big rivalry."
President Barack Obama said in an interview with The Associated Press last week that he would "think about changing" the name if he were the team's owner.
"When the President speaks, it's going to raise attention to any issue," Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay said Tuesday, "but really I, at this point, don't really have anything, any comment, on it right now."
Asked his opinion on the Redskins name, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said: "I don't have any thoughts on it."
The NFL has said it will meet with an Indian tribe pushing for the Redskins to drop the nickname, although Goodell said he did not know if he or Snyder would attend.
That group, the Oneida Indian Nation, held a symposium on the topic in Washington on Monday, timed to coincide with the league meetings.
At Monday's session, a member of Congress, Minnesota Democrat Betty McCollum, said the league and team are "promoting a racial slur" and "this issue is not going away."
After Goodell's news conference Tuesday, a spokesman for the Oneida Indian Nation, Joel Barkin, issued a statement that read, in part: "The fact is that the league will not truly be listening to critics of this racial slur unless its commissioner gets personally involved."

Oneida Indian Nation VP for Communications released the following statement after it was reported that Roger Goodell did not call for a meeting with the organizers of the "Change the Mascot" campaign:
Oneida Indian Nation VP for Communications released the following statement after it was reported that Roger Goodell did not call for a meeting with the organizers of the "Change the Mascot" campaign:
"When the Oneida Indian Nation received the letter from the NFL, we were heartened to hear that Commissioner Goodell was getting personally involved in this issue after he publicly declared that the league needs to be listening to critics of the Washington team name," said Oneida Indian Nation Vice President for Communications Joel Barkin. "The fact is that the league will not truly be listening to critics of this racial slur unless its commissioner gets personally involved. Mr. Goodell clearly knows this because he understands the unique value of his involvement in these kinds of issues. He was right to personally intervene when a Philadelphia Eagles player used a racial slur. With the Washington team using a racial slur, it is now time for him to once again personally intervene."
After he had defended the Washington team name in a letter to Congress earlier this year, Goodell appeared to soften his stance last month in a radio interview: "If we are offending one person, we need to be listening and making sure that we're doing the right things to try to address that," he said to 106.7 FM The Fan in Washington, D.C.
Goodell told USA Today team owners did not discuss the subject of changing the Washington team name in any formal way during Tuesday's league meetings.

Manfrotto Launches Revamped 190 Tripod Series
Manfrotto updated its 190 Tripod Series with a range of additional features. One of the most innovative aspects of the new 190 is the mechanism to operate the new 90° column. It is accessed only when needed and with a quick 'one finger' operation at the bottom of the centre column, the mechanism appears from the main casting of the tripod allowing the column to tilt. Both the new column mechanism and four-leg section models have a more compact closed dimension which allows for easier portability. The also-new Rotating Levelling Bubble is quick to set up and allows the tripod to be positioned more precisely. It is easy to use, whatever the shape of the head or however the tripod is set up. The revamped 190 is available in aluminium and carbon-fibre versions, at prices ranging from £184.95-£359.95.
Zeiss Otus 1.4/55
Zeiss has officially announced the upcoming launch of its new 55mm f/1.4 lens, the Zeiss Otus 1.4/55. Otus is the Latin name for a type of owl known for its excellent vision in darkness, so the product name hints at the remarkable low-light capabilities of the new lens. Indeed, Zeiss claims that the Otus 1.4/55 "creates the highest-possible image quality, even with an open aperture." Other unique features of the Otus 1.4/55 are its high image contrast all the way to the edges (even for low f-numbers) and the consistent high-resolution performance across the entire image field. The optical formula incorporates a floating elements design with 12 elements in 10 groups, including a double-sided aspheric lens element and six elements made of special glass with anomalous partial dispersion. The Zeiss Otus 1.4/55 will be available for Nikon (ZF.2) and Canon (ZE) mounts, starting at the end of October in all global markets. The recommended retail price will be €2,940 or US$3,999.

Memoto Renamed as Narrative
The Swedish company that introduced the wearable Memoto camera has announced the closing of $3 million of funding, led by San Francisco-based VC, True Ventures, and a new name for the company brand, now "Narrative" and its debut product, "Narrative Clip." The name change comes after Memoto was notified that its former name could not be used on a global scale, specifically because it conflicts with a similar name in the market. "Our company has come a long way under the name Memoto and we are all sad to give it up," said Oskar Kalmaru, VP of Marketing "however, we've quickly grown to love the new name, Narrative, and it is one that describes what we've been trying to do all along – help users tell the stories of their lives. We called the camera 'Narrative Clip' to reflect its attributes of being wearable, quick and tiny." The Narrative Clip will be available from 1 November 2013.

Hackers Crack Adobe's Servers, Steal Users' Data

Tucked away in a quiet corner of the splendid Herefordshire countryside is the dinky Orles Barn, an AA graded five star stopover that's unforgettably quaint and distinctly, well, English; the kind of place a wellie-donning Guy Ritchie-era Madonna would go wild for (sorry, with the new album we've a need to relate everything back to her at the moment).
A stone's throw from the charming riverside market town of Ross-on-Wye and but a short drive from the cobbled streets of Monmouth (which is IN A DIFFERENT COUNTRY ALTOGETHER - it's ok to be excited by that right?), this modestly sized and intimate build exudes personality and charm. Parts of it date back to the 14th and 17th centuries – think random oak beams and open log fireplaces.
Under its most recent ownership Orles underwent a dramatic face lift that capitalised on its existing warmth – now the ambiance is tasteful but not extravagant, erring on the right side of luxury while retaining a sense of homeliness, thanks in part to a small but dedicated staff-force. Personable and cheerful, it's immediately apparent how much they enjoy working there, and that's not an observation we make frequently on our travels. Good service is good service, and service with a smile is better still; but service with a smile that's genuine? That makes all the difference.
Orles Barn is a bit of a West Country gem and everyone who works there knows it. There's no arrogance to speak of, but perhaps a more than deserved sense of pride. The amount of care and effort that's gone into its appearance and upkeep is obvious. Of its five fully kitted-out rooms (sans iPod dock), we stayed in the roomy Pixie Apple bridal suite, popular with newlyweds of ALL gender equations (speaking of which, Orles Barn would make a great setting for a civil partnership ceremony - more about that later). It's the jewel in the Barn's crown, coming complete with a separate bathroom and dressing room, and a gigantic standalone tub that on the upside is positioned beneath a ceiling of switch-operated stars, but on the downside takes an age to fill.
Between the deliciously camp floral wallpaper and the fantastic quality of the bed linen, plus the romantically stunning views of the rolling countryside from the suite's windows, you'll feel like a newlywed should you stay here, regardless of your marital status. It's sweetly decadent in an understated fashion – as welcoming and unpretentious as a particularly excellent B&B but boating a quality competitive with any number of high-profile inner-city stopovers.
For all the gorgeousness of its rooms, it's the barn's award-winning culinary prowess that is its secret weapon. You'll be hard pressed to find better quality meals within a ten mile radius. Seating up to 50 guests at 14 tables, both the flower-filled restaurant and its next-door bar are laid back and relaxing spaces. The latter is best enjoyed of an evening after a long and potentially muddy afternoon walk among the surrounding terrain, next to an open fire with a good book; the former over a breakfast of beautifully tender, lightly sweet and locally sourced pears, rays of sun filtering through its many windows over an acre of grass outside.
Although traditionally rooted and making use of seasonal produce, its dinner menu features some incredibly inventive and forward-thinking embellishments courtesy of Chef Director Dan Wall, who, since joining the Barn has been awarded two rosettes by the AA. A typical meal might comprise of roast woodland pork belly, devilled kidneys, dauphinoise potatoes, brawn and sautéed greens followed by the why-not? combination of dark chocolate tart and milk chocolate mousse, accompanied by salted caramel.
We've all heard tales of Christian hoteliers from the deepest, darkest regions of the country turning away gay couples from the inn; well, there's none of that here. The fact that there aren't any local dedicated gay spaces to speak of does not reflect the entirely hospitable and 21st-century attitudes of the owners and their staff. Undoubtedly Orles Barn would be a dream space to host a civil partnership. And by the sounds they'd cater to your every whim and help tailor-make the celebration of your dreams too, with the wedding brochure claiming "If you want kissing hippos helicopter'd in, the waiting staff to burst into song or silk butterflies adorning every hedge we will move heaven and earth to get this done."
"In fact we've implemented two of the above and wouldn't mind having a go at the third!"
Orles Barn,

Buildings sell-off plan full of 'assumptions', says fire service
11:00am Saturday 5th April 2014 in News By Tom Edwards, Political Reporter
PLANS of a mass sell-off of public sector buildings in Worcestershire have been criticised by fire chiefs - who say the savings appear to be based on "significant assumptions".
A new report by Hereford and Worcester Fire and Rescue Service has revealed a raft of concerns on the multi-million pound plan.
As your Worcester News revealed last month, Worcestershire County Council wants to team up with several other taxpayer-funded bodies to share buildings and flog as many as possible.
The council says it would raise £118 million in sales by 2024 and save £110 million in maintenance costs, but the report says: - The continued savings forecast "appear very optimistic"
- A business case detailing how it would work is "based on some significant assumptions"
- There is no explanation around how buildings will be better used by sharing them
- The fire authority, as the smallest body within the partnership, could be "marginalised" and lose influence over its assets
Under the deal West Mercia Police, the NHS Trust, Worcester City Council, County Hall, Redditch Council and Warwickshire Police will all team together.
The fire service has also agreed in principle to be a part of it, ahead of the publication of a final business case later this year despite the worries.
The report is aimed at highlighting concerns around the project before it goes any further.
Chief fire officer Mark Yates said: "We do have concerns and are asking relevant questions about this as we go along to make sure our interests are protected.
"The principle behind it is sound but it needs more investigation."
The council says the fire authority could save £600,000 a year in building cots by going ahead.
Councillor Adrian Hardman, county council leader, said: "It's not about selling off the family silver, but getting away from this obsession with owning your own property and making sure we work in a collaborative way.
"I'm quite confident any governance issues can be resolved and the key to this will be that all the partners will retain sovereignty over their own buildings.
"We should be embracing reform and change."

This is a body so worried about finances it spends over £292,000 a year on PR staff.
PR is so important to this Trust that it pays a 'communications and engagement officer' £24,312 and a qualified Midwife only £21,478.
Leaving aside the fact that there is a shortage of midwives working in the Trust, sharing a building is not going to educate this organisation on getting it's priorities in the correct order.

Just leave that sort of thing to Mothercare guys and concentrate on putting out fires instead.

On the pages of art history textbooks, traditional and contemporary Chinese work can seem worlds apart from the American experience. Sometimes, the culture's essence and vitality get lost in translation.
But Laurie Hicks, a professor of art at the University of Maine, is part of a team of researchers working to make these art forms more accessible to an English-speaking audience. This past summer, Hicks worked as a documentary photographer for ChinaVine.org, a collective that aims to bring Chinese culture to life through narrative, video and photography. During her travels to Beijing and Shanghai, Hicks documented a range of art forms — from traditional gourd engraving and puppet theater to contemporary sound art and zines.
"We're trying to present this from the perspective of the artists, using their narratives as the basis for understanding their work," says Hicks, who became involved with the project as a result of previous collaborations with principal investigators Kristin Congdon of the University of Central Florida and Doug Blandy of the University of Oregon. "We want this to represent as closely as possible the experience of the artists and the people who engage with these art forms."
In the following slideshow, Hicks presents a selection of her photographs from Beijing and Shanghai.

Christine Kushner was elected chair of the Wake County school board Tuesday, ending the tenure as chair of Keith Sutton and continuing the monumental changes that have marked the ruling body of Wake County schools.
Kushner won by a 7-2 vote in the first meeting of the new board, which is now dominated by Democrats.
"It's not about one person, and I don't see it that way. And I think it was a lot of discussion about leadership," Kushner said. "I've talked to Mr. Sutton about leadership in the last weeks and he did discuss things and I think we're moving forward."
Kushner represents District 6, which is in central Raleigh. The district includes Broughton High School and extends north into the Sanderson district, and also west toward Brentwood and Capital Boulevard.
When asked about being replaced, Sutton said he wanted to keep his position as chair but hoped he made the community proud with his work.
Kushner takes over as Wake is in its first year with Jim Merrill as superintendent. Merrill, a former Wake schools employee who attended the University of North Carolina, was hired after the previous board, with a 5-4 Democratic majority, fired Superintendent Tony Tata.
Kushner will lead a board that is solidly Democratic, although officially nonpartisan.
The board has significant new faces. Bill Fletcher, Zora Felton and Monika Johnson-Hostetler join the board, and Tom Benton is now in a full term after joining the board in February.
No longer on the board are former board leaders like John Tedesco and Debra Goldman.

Finding the Right Way to Trade
Tools are obviously an important part of our society and culture, as they helped bring us out of the days of the caveman to today's technologically advanced society. It is rare that any job or profession cannot benefit from the use of tools, but it is often a matter of finding the perfect tool. Each job has different requirements and each person has different expectations, so ultimately finding the right tools in each scenario is a huge deal. For many people the perfect tool to trade with can be found among the best binary options brokers.
This tool can be a real lifesaver, whether you are someone that knows a lot about trading already or a newcomer that needs some help getting started. Ultimately this tool is going to provide anyone with the information that is needed to make great decisions when it comes to trading. Best of all, it is capable of showing everything from date analysis and indices to videos and guides. This means that it is basically the only place you ever need to look to get all of the latest details and best strategies.
Of course by doing this you are certainly placing a level of trust in the company behind it. Regardless of anyone's intentions or plans, at the end of the day you are investing your own money. Investments are risky because the only way to really make big profits is to find the right stock that has potential. This potential often works out really well, and certainly has in the past for people using this tool, but sometimes it does not always end so well. When the dust settles after your latest batch of trades, everyone will hope that the tool has provided the right suggestions, but if the trades go bad then you are the one who faces the worst consequences.Take A Look
Where is the Cheapest Price?
My mom knew that I could find a good deal on almost anything and she told me that she wanted to find out where to buy xanax online for the best price on the market. I told her that I would be able to help her with no problem but I wanted to make sure that I could go online and shop around if she was not in a rush. I did not see over night shipping from a lot of different web sites so I was hoping that she had some time. She told me that she was not in a rush but that she would like the medication within two weeks. I told her that most of the places with the lowest prices could get it in within two weeks and I was happy with that. She told me it was great and she wanted me to order for her as soon as she could.
I had to get her credit card information and I told her that I did not want to chance my own credit card information on there as they may think that the prescription was not for me, I could see how they might think that it was a fake one and I was so glad to be able to know that she was going to give me her credit card number with expiration date. She normally did not want to buy online as she is older and does not trust anybody, especially the web sites and the internet but she wanted to be able to get her drugs at such a discounted rate that she made sure that she was going to be able to get a great deal. I was proud of her and she got her medications about five days later in the mail.Take A Look
Snow Patrol – Open Your Eyes
A Little Extra Help with My Business
When I found the woodlands business center I knew that I had found just what I was looking for. I needed an office space that would provide me with all of the amenities of having my very own office building and workforce. I just did not have the budget to do all of that on my own.
I have been doing what I can to find a place that would give that to me. I have been working out of my home office for the past three years and have expanded to the point in which I need the extra room and help.
When I first started my business, everyone told me that I was making a mistake and that I was going to lose everything that I have invested in it. I knew that I could do it if I just put in some hard work and dedicated my life to making it a success.
After reading through some books about opening your own business, I learned that if you make it through the first year in the black that there is a great chance in succeeding. I figured that if I have made it through what I have in the type of economy that we have had that I will be able to do just fine once things pick up a bit.
I know that there are many people that have stood beside me as I worked to make my home business into one that is showing a great deal of potential to be something great. I think that my life will be just as I picture it to be in the next few years. This will especially be true if I get the little bit of help that this virtual office space will give me for the next couple of years.Take A Look

Spencer Fisher, Superstar
Spencer Fisher was arrested on Tuesday in his hometown of Bettendorf, Iowa for interfering with an official's duties. He paid $300 bail and was released on his own recognizance. MMA Junkie spoke with his management: "Spencer went to pick up his daughters from school, and he doubled parked because there were no other parking spaces available," Dubberly stated in an email to MMAjunkie.com. "The police asked Spencer to move his car, and Spencer stated he would only be a second. The police asked him again to move his car, and Spencer kept proceeding to pick up his daughters from school."

FIU greeted Manhattan, playing its first game of the season, with the first appearance by the Panthers' offense since FIU's season opener last week.
A 14-4 rout of the Jaspers broke the Panthers' 28-inning silence. After scoring 10 runs in the first seven innings against Stony Brook last week, the Panthers managed only four runs in two wins against Stony Brook and a Wednesday loss to Bethune-Cookman.
"If you're going to go anywhere as a team, you have to be able to beat the Friday night type of [pitcher]," FIU coach Turtle Thomas said. "Stony Brook had two Friday type of guys. Bethune-Cookman, on Wednesday, threw their Friday guy. You've got to be able to beat the good pitchers or find a way to get it done. We did a little bit better job swinging the bat. We swung at too many bad pitches early and later started swinging at better pitches and started making them get the ball over the plate."
Mike Ellis got the victory despite giving up four runs in 5 2/3 innings. Mitchell Davis pitched 2 1/3 innings, striking out three, to set up freshman Jason Morozowski's ninth.
Everybody got into the act. Eight Panthers had hits, seven Panthers managed an RBI. Second baseman T.J. Shantz came into the game 0 for 13 this season and went 2 for 5 with two RBI.
"I was starting to worry I wouldn't get a hit all season," Shantz joked. "We were more selective [Friday]. For those couple of games, we were swinging out of [the] strike zone, doing things that weren't our kind of baseball."
Manhattan actually led 3-1 — with the only Panthers run coming on Zach Sweety's first career home run — until the bottom of the fourth. With one out, Manhattan's John Soldinger walked Josh Anderson and Aramis Garcia. Shantz's first hit of the season, a single to left, brought in Anderson. Edwin Rios cracked a grass-hugging double through the middle of the infield and almost to the wall for a 4-3 FIU lead. Oscar Aguirre's single and Tyler Hibbert's sacrifice fly pushed Rios home.
Two innings later, Manhattan pitcher Michael Martin came in with runners on first and second and FIU ahead 5-4. Martin left three batters later after the Panthers' lead grew to 8-4.
Martin fielded a Rios bunt and fired the ball over third base, allowing one run to score and leaving second and third occupied. Freshman Mandy Alvarez singled to bring in one run: 7-4. Hibbert slapped a chopper to second, and Alvarez occupied the second baseman long enough to prevent the double play. Meanwhile, another run scored.
Martin left the game after his pickoff throw wound up near the Jaspers' bullpen, and Hibbert went to third.

Aaaaand Thiago Silva is now out of his #UFCFightNight bout against Ovince St-Preux. New co-main event for Atlanta TBD.— UFC News (@UFCNews) November 21, 2013
23-hours following the announcement that Thiago Silva would face Ovince St-Preux at UFC Fight Night 25 (details here) in Atlanta, Georgia, UFC officials have announced that Silva has been forced to withdraw. No further information is available at this time, stay tuned to MMAmania.com for the latest.

And then there were nine! Yushin Okami, the No. 6-ranked Middleweight fighter on UFC's roster up until this past weekend, is no longer featured on the promotion's
Top 9 Top 10 list (view it here). Okami was recently cut after getting knocked out by Ronaldo Souza earlier this month. UFC President Dana White claimed his role of divisional "gatekeeper" forced his surprise exit, even though "Thunder" compiled a record of 13-5 in the Octagon during a seven-year tenure. With Okami removed from the rankings, Luke Rockhold, Francis Carmont, Costa Philippou and Chael Sonnen are suddenly better than they were yesterday. Meanwhile, Alessio Sakara (6-7-1 in UFC) prepares to battle Magnus Cedenblad at UFC Fight Night 30 later this month. Makes imperfect sense.
Former Strikeforce, Dream and K-1 Heavyweight Champion Alistair Overeem was one of the many fans who picked up a release-day copy of Grand Theft Auto V this week. "The Reem" contributed to the ridiculous $800 million sales on the first day. Hopefully he can stop battling police officers long enough to get some solid training in for his upcoming pivotal UFC 167 bout against former champion Frank Mir later this year. Did any of you join Overeem in buying GTA V?
UFC Fight Night 27 was an incredible night which featured a wide array of violent finishes, slick submissions and spectacular brawls, but no one was more violent than "The Natural Born Killer" Carlos Condit once he smelled blood against Martin Kampmann in the third and fourth rounds. Condit poured it on, battering and lacerating "The Hitman's" face, resulting in this spectacular Frankenstein-esque image from the post-fight press conference (via Will Fox of Fightland). For a recap of Condit's main event victory, click here.

Pours a medium brown, sits in the glass dark like root beer. thin head that leave a good coat on the sides of the glass.
I just looked up the style..there is no mention of addition of coffee.
Smells like really good coffee. Some hints of chocolate, cola, and spice.
Taste is coffee. The coffie is strong flavored. The coffie flavor is clean but maybe just a little stale. Some bittering , alcohol, asperin present.
Thin wattery beer...maybe even a little dry.
I would buy this one again when I need a coffee beer fix or would want beer with breakfast.

Poured into a standard pint glass a medium to dark brown with a nicely formed almost 1/2 finger off white head head,naturally the coffee aromas hit ya along with some woody tones and unsweetened chocolate.Coffee is domanant on the palate but is not the only thing worth mentioning its quite arthy with some noticeable wood,a bit of sweetness comesthru but to me its unsweetened dark roast coffee that dominates.A very nice coffee infused porter just well rounded and solid.

2.8/5 rDev -26.1%
This was my first time buying a bottle of Meantime and I'd heard good things. I picked it up from City Beer along with a mixed pack of various coffee stouts figuring, meh, coffee porter, why not?
Especially at five bucks for 11.2 oz, I wanted this to be phenomenal. I love dark porters and dark-roasted black coffee. This, however, looks too thin and watery to be either porter or coffee. Poured into an Irish Coffee glass, it is completely transparent.
Having purchased the bottle only a week ago, it immediately opened with off scents that not even the coffee overpowered.
The brewed coffee is obvious in the taste, but flavor and mouthfeel-wise, it's just too watery.
While I am able to finish the bottle, I won't be buying this one again and remain optimistic about the rest of the coffee stouts I procured (before attempting to brew that style).

3.9/5 rDev +2.9%
Serving date: 2009-03-23. Served in snifter.
A: Dark brown but paler than expected and certainly paler than a lot of other porters. The liquid is very clear. A small beige head that settled very quickly and leaves a minimal ring of lacings around the edges.
S: Lightly roasted coffee, sweet chocolate, some vanilla. The coffee aromas dominate, as expected, but they are not as deep and powerful as I would have wanted.
T: A pretty sweet taste. Light roasted coffee beans and freshly ground coffee dominate. Pleasant flavors of light chocolate. The taste is very similar to chocolate covered coffee beans. Some vanilla. A decent backbone of roasted malts and a milk-like smooth flavor. Hops are very restrained throughout the experience. The finish has a minimal bitterness and some sweet malts, woody flavors and chocolate syrup.
M: Semi-full body, slightly creamy texture. Plenty of carbonation, but this probably prevents the beer from being too sweet and sickly.
D: Initially, I thought this was a very good beer with great coffee flavors. However, it's somewhat to sweet and the coffee flavors lack some depth. Would have liked a richer, not as, sweet coffee profile. The sweetness and taste of chocolate covered coffee beans become a little overpowering after a while. One bottle of this is almost too much. Would probably be a great dessert beer or a digestif, though.

This beer's strength is it's smell. It smells like a fresh, strong-brewed pot of coffee. Makes me want to pair it with a hearty stew or a plate of bacon. But the taste doesn't come through. It's not terrible by any means, but there's a sparkling mouthfeel that's almost reminiscent of champagne. There's a slight sour taste, and I'm missing the bitterness prevalent in most coffee beers. It lacks body, which is disappointing. A shame - this beer had so much promise from that wonderful aroma.

From BeerAdvocate magazine Issue #61 (Feb 2012):
LOOK: Dark mahogany brown
SMELL: Cowboy coffee, charcoal, burnt currants, bready, earthy, yeast, tree bark, herbal
TASTE: Creamy, smooth, roasted grain, coffee, milky, warming alcohol, burnt toast, herbal, chicory, black tea; semisweet, roasty finish
Obviously brewed with coffee, Meantime states that one bottle is equal to one cup of coffee. They also add lactose, which drops in nice layer of depth; creamy and more inviting with each sip. Coffee flavor could be dialed up a smidgen more, but it works.

11.2 oz bottle poured into a pint glass. Pretty beer: dark brown with red highlights, thick tan head. Coffee/roasted malt aroma, with a hint of sweet chocolate. Taste was more coffee/espresso, little bit of chocolate, some bitterness. I enjoyed the bitterness, thought it rounded things out quite well.

3.93/5 rDev +3.7%
11.2 oz bottle. Pours brown with red highlights and has a large fizzy, rocky off white head that retains well and laces the glass.
The aroma is sweet chocolate, grains, lactose and lots of coffee.
The flavor is sweet chocolate malts with lots of roasted, slightly acidic (more so as it warms), coffee. It has a dry, slightly bitter finish. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with sharp carbonation.
Overall, a pleasant surprise. This is a nice coffee beer. Initially it's a nice blend of sweet chocolate and coffee. As it warms, it becomes a little too acidic.

Pours a very dark brown with burgundy hues poking through when held to light. Great, frothy, tan head that lingers awhile, leaving lacing behind in it's wake. Smells of coffee of course, sweet malts, milk chocolate. Taste is also of sweet coffee. Like an extra/extra at Dunkin Donuts. This stuff is dangerously smooth. A little light on the body but the addictiveness more than makes up for it. So damn tasty. I could drink these all evening. Before I know it, my pint is empty every time. Sweet bottle to boot.

Picked this up as I am a huge fan or Porters. Carbonation heavy on the pour, but quickly dissapated and left just a light ring around the edge of the glass. Not as dark as many of the American style coffee porters. A nice dark amber hue when held up to the light. Strong coffee notes on the nose and the palate. A clean aroma -- no noticeable hops coming through. Maybe just a hint of hot cocao powder-like chocolate. Very smooth in flavor and drinkability. Good bitterness that balances the acrid black patent flavors. A kiss of sweetness in line with the English Porter style. Overall, a really nice porter.

Cool looking 11.2 oz bottle. Pours a clear mahogany body with a small, but lasting, beige head. Some curtains of lace drape around the glass. Aroma is freshly ground coffee beans and milk chocolate graced by toasted almonds. Medium body is well carbonated. Taste is dark chocolate and coffee grounds accented by notes of cream and almonds. Nicely executed.

Poured from cool 11.2 oz bottle into standard glass.
Appearance - Pours thin dark brown, the little bit of tan head quickly fizzles out. Slight ring is left over, but nothing too impressive.
Smell - Roasty, malty, coffee and chocolate. Sweet smelling, but not very forward.
Taste - Easily the high point of this beer with no shortness of coffee right up front. Malt and roasted flavors follow. After the weak nose I was very pleased with this.
Mouthfeel - A little thin but overall not terrible. A good bit of carbonation add some character to compensate. Overall, just above average.
Drinkability - With such a bold flavor in a thin body this is very drinkable. Dry finish leaves you wanting that next sip, and it is very easy to take.
Overall, I will buy this beer again. I think it will be one worth enjoying after dinner, and one I'd introduce to a coffee lover who is not completely sold on the craft beer scene.

Thanks to my brother for sending me this beer.
The beer pours a medium brown color with an off-white head. The beer was lighter colored than I expected. The aroma is chocolate, coffee and roasted malt. The flavor is heavy on the milk chocolate with some coffee, roasted malt and cream mixed in. The mouthfeel is very creamy and the carbonation is low.

Pours dark brown with a tan head and havy lacing. Aroma is stale coffee, almonds, licorice, and baker's chocolate. Thin mouthfeel. Tastes like coffee and roasted malt, without anything more. Cream? Nuts? Anything? Expected something more, especially for the price tag.

Great Choice...
Pours a midnight black with hints of dark brown.
Slight cream head, dissipates.
Roast on the nose, coffee, toasted malt grains, and also a subtle caramel flavor.
The flavor is rich and full flavored, almost like a full roast blend of arabica/robusta...very tasty. Love this beer.
This is a damn good brew for those special occasions, and lazy sit downs on a cold winter evening. Cigars any one?

(Served in a nonic)
A- This beer has a clear but dense reddish-brown body with a strong carbonation of tiny bubbles and a rocky light tan head that last for most of the beer.
S- There is soft notes cold stale coffee and brown malt with a dark nougat note. The finish is a fresh brown malt and plastic smell.
T- The taste of cold stale coffee has some notes of brown malt followed by a finish of coffee grounds.
M- This beer has a light mouthfeel with a watery texture.
D- The coffee is big and stale and the malt taste reminds me of a weak American bock. The flavor is not that impressive but the head last and last. I'm not sure I want to commit to the big bottles of Meantime but I'm glad they only sell this in a small bottle. That is enough.

As we go deeper into the 2008 election season, I continue to be struck by the politics of symbolism that surround the race for the Democratic Party nomination. Perhaps if I were not as fearful as I am about both the situation in
Much too much has gone into the symbolism of the potential for a woman or an African American receiving the nomination and ultimately being elected President of the USA. Clearly, the election of a woman or African American would be historic, yet this symbolism seems to have blinded or muted, depending on one's point of view, too many people to real issues of substance.
The other day, I ran into an African American man I had not seen in some years. We started talking about the Presidential race and he indicated that he was an Obama supporter. I indicated that I remain undecided but that I was concerned that Obama was the equivalent of an inspirational speaker in this race, yet on the issues he seemed too concerned about not making waves. The eyes of this man looked quickly to the floor and he acknowledged that what I had to say was correct, but it was also clear that the discussion was over. He had made up his mind and there was nothing more to be said.
In listening to many of our own leaders and opinion- makers, I am startled by the lack of substance that is brought to the table when it comes to a conversation about the possible nominees. Particularly in connection with discussions of Senators Clinton and Obama, the sound bites are all too similar. They focus on the historic significance of a victory of a woman or a Black person. They suggest that these individuals are outsiders – depending on how one defines "outsiders" – from the mainstream political process. Most importantly, they suggest that we will be witnessing the introduction of new politics.
With all due respect to both Senators Clinton and Obama, I do not see it. With Senator Clinton there is nothing that indicates that she is an outsider driven by a concern and linkage with those traditionally dispossessed by the politics and economics of the contemporary

May Day rally to advocate for the working classBy PETER HIRSCHFELD
Vermont Press Bureau | April 29,2013MONTPELIER In 2009, the Vermont Workers Center convened the first-ever May Day rally as a way of demonstrating political support for single-payer health care.
Four years later, this annual day of action will include a call for increased government spending on programs to improve the lot of poor and working-class Vermonters. James Haslam, director of the Vermont Workers Center, said he expects thousands to show up for a daylong event Wednesday that will include a rally on the Statehouse lawn.
Haslam said the event comes as lawmakers consider a slew of fiscal policies that threaten to undermine living conditions for low-income, elderly, and disabled Vermonters.
We seem to be moving backward in some areas, Haslam said. And what were trying to do is show legislators that the priorities of Vermonters are for policies that meet the needs of our communities. And to show them that if that means we need to raise revenue, then theres a tremendous amount of support for that.
Gov. Peter Shumlin has said hes also dedicated to lifting low-income Vermonters out of poverty, and building jobs and incomes for the middle class. Shumlin has called for $17 million in new child care subsidies for low-income parents, and is pushing for universal access to pre-kindergarten.
Haslam and Sen. Anthony Pollina said those programs would be welcome additions to the slate of government services. But they said Shumlins method of funding the new initiatives budgetary cuts to other human services programs violates the principles of a peoples budget.
Inside the Statehouse, we hear a lot about how tough the economy is, Pollina said. But the proposals you see coming from the Legislature and governor are only going to make life more difficult for people outside the building.
Pollina said proposed cuts to the earned-income tax credit, reduced health care subsidies for lower-income Vermonters, and the imposition of time limits on welfare benefits are symptomatic of a legislative environment that tries to balance the budget on the backs of the poor.
Shumlin last week reiterated his opposition to tax increases, saying Vermonts fragile economic recovery cant withstand increases in taxes on sales, rooms and meals, or income. Pollina, however, said that not only can the rich well afford a tax increase, but that assessing one on them would stimulate the economy, not depress it.
The economy isnt going to get better until middle- and low-income people have money to spend, Pollina said. We cant talk about fairness and equity taxes unless were willing to talk about growing inequality in incomes, and thats not a conversation people in Montpelier seem very eager to have right now.
Haslam said the Wednesday rally will include residents representing organized labor, environmental organizations, migrant justice groups and more.
A march through Montpelier will depart from the Statehouse lawn at noon. The event will continue throughout the afternoon, with speakers, exhibits and live music.
Haslam said he hopes the event will compel legislators to consider their votes carefully as the session nears its end.
The way things typically get done in Montpelier, and in politics in general, is with professional lobbying, and usually with lots of money spent by corporations and special interests, Haslam said. What we are all about, and what May 1 is all about, is the power of people the power of people acting together to create change.

Published in Flagpole Magazine, p. 2 (March 12, 1997).
Author: Donald E. Wilkes, Jr., Professor of Law, University of Georgia School of Law.
Page 12 of the March 5, 1997 Flagpole contained an article mentioning the case of a wealthy Savannah antiques dealer, Jim Williams (now deceased), who in the 1980s was accused of murdering Danny Hansford, tried four times, convicted twice (with both convictions later being reversed), received a hung jury at the third trial, and was acquitted at his fourth trial. The Williams murder case is the focus of the bestselling book Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, by John Berendt.
The article asserts: "While two juries convicted [Williams] of murder, higher courts overturned the rulings on technicalities [emphasis supplied]."
Hansford was killed on May 2, 1981. At the first trial Williams testified that he shot Hansford in self-defense and also told the jury that on April 3, 1981, a month before the killing, Hansford went into a rage, damaged furniture, and fired a shot through the floor of Williams' house. After Williams left the stand, a police officer named Anderson testified that he had been called to the Williams residence on April 3 and had seen the bullet hole in the floor, but that he "could not determine if that was a new type of gunshot or was an old one." (Officer Anderson also was called to the Williams residence on May 2, shortly after Hansford was shot dead.)
During his closing arguments the Savannah district attorney asserted that the bullet hole had been there long before April 3; that it was Williams, not Hansford, who had gone on a rampage and broken furniture on April 3; and that Williams' version of the events of April 3 was not only false but proved that, a month before the slaying, Williams had perpetrated a diabolical hoax for the purpose of setting up Hansford so that Williams could murder him later and buttress a false claim of self-defense.
At a hearing in the judge's chambers after closing arguments, Williams' lawyers asked the district attorney if the written report officer Anderson prepared after the slaying included any information that would in any way not support his trial testimony. The prosecutor responded that it did not.
A few weeks after the first jury convicted Williams, his lawyers received an envelope in the mail from an anonymous source in the district attorney's office. It contained a complete version of officer Anderson's May 2 report and included a line stating that on April 3 he had found "a fresh gunshot on the floor" of Williams' house. According to author Berendt, the district attorney had whited out this line from the edited version of the report previously furnished Williams' lawyers.
It is a violation of the constitutional right to due process of law for a prosecuting attorney to conceal exculpatory evidence. The Georgia Supreme Court therefore unanimously reversed the conviction, finding that ``the state should have done more than it did to protect the defendant's rights,'' and announcing that it would "not approve corruption of the truth-seeking function of the trial process."
After Williams was again convicted, the Georgia Supreme Court again reversed, this time by a 4-3 vote. This time the Court did not find that Williams' constitutional rights had been violated, but did hold that the trial court had committed error when it allowed a police detective to give conclusory testimony that Hansford's alleged attack on Williams on May 2, which Williams cited in claiming self-defense, was staged by Williams. (Knowing that jurors are extremely gullible when policemen take the stand, prosecutors love to have police give conclusory testimony about what "really" happened at an alleged crime scene.)
The Georgia Supreme Court also concluded that error had occurred at the second trial when the district attorney was permitted to introduce new evidence during the closing arguments, so that the defense was given no opportunity to rebut the new evidence. However, the Court did not find it necessary to decide whether this second error was also reversible error.
The three dissenting justices thought that the errors had been harmless.
In these days, when police and prosecutors have so much power, and when they are repeatedly caught abusing those powers, it is terribly unfair to criticize the courts, when they act to curb those abuses and to protect the rights of citizens, as allegedly issuing decisions based on technicalities. Courts affirm far more convictions than they reverse; and when they do reverse, it is almost always because governmental authorities have exceeded or abused their powers in order to obtain a guilty verdict, as the Jim Williams murder case demonstrates.
When the Georgia Supreme Court reversed twice in the Williams case, they were not involved in technicalities. They were doing what they are supposed to do. As the United States Supreme Court observed over a hundred years ago: "It is the duty of courts to be watchful for the constitutional rights of the citizen, and against any stealthy encroachments thereon."

AAJ Statement on House Passage of the REINS Act
Legislation Could Void Safety Regulations, Endanger Public
Washington, DC—The following is a statement from American Association for Justice (AAJ) President Burton LeBlanc in response to the U.S. House passing H.R. 367, "Regulations from the Executive in Need of Scrutiny Act of 2013" (REINS Act.)
"Instead of focusing on legislation to improve public health and safety, Congress voted today to replace a thorough regulatory process that is based on input from multiple industry, consumer, and safety experts with a 'Congress knows best' approach.
"The REINS Act is an extreme departure from current regulatory procedures and is designed only to stymie the development of regulations with which the industry does not want to comply.
"Americans deserve more from Congress than a weakened system of checks and balances that will endanger public health and safety."
- Federal agencies draft regulations to implement specific statutory mandates included in laws passed by Congress.
- Congress adopted this system over a hundred years ago because it recognized the necessity and efficiency of assigning the job of crafting appropriate regulations to the scientific, economic, legal, and other experts in the various agencies.
- The REINS Act would require all economically significant regulations to be approved by Congress, by means of a joint congressional resolution, and signed by the President before taking affect.
- The REINS Act would allow for a few members of Congress to delay or even avoid implementation of significant health and safety regulations, including regulations put forth by the Food and Drug Administration, the Environmental Protection Agency and the Federal Aviation Administration.

One woman is dead, another man is injured and a suspect is arrested following a shooting that led to a multi-county chase.
According to Rockwall Police, around 8pm Saturday, a man and a woman were found shot in a parking lot near The Harbor Rockwall, which is a shopping, dining and entertainment center. Police say the suspect fled the scene but was identified as the females ex-boyfriend.
Less than an hour later, police in Garland, Texas spotted the suspects vehicle and a chase ensued. The suspect who is identified as 47-year-old Anthony Lewis led police on the chase that ended just south of Greenville in Hunt county, about 25 miles away from the shooting location. Lewis then got out of his vehicle and pointed a handgun at officers after his car ran over spikes laid out by police. Lewis was then shot by officers on the scene, apprehended, then taken to a local hospital for treatment. He was later flown to Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas for further treatment.
The two victims in this shooting have not yet been identified.
Authorities in the City of Rockwall and the Texas Rangers are currently investigating this incident.
According to WFAA, Lewis is a former Hunt County Constable.
