Freak out!
Sources tell me the Falcons have reached out to the agent of Georgia defensive coordinator Todd Grantham. bit.ly/sbcB2K—
Pete Roussel (@coachingsearch) January 11, 2012
(h/t Bryant Denny)
UPDATE: Somewhat remarkably, Grantham (more likely the school in response to panicked inquiries) felt the need to issue a formal response to the rumors.
"This time of year there are a lot of rumors involving coaching openings. Because of the terrific recruiting class we are assembling and the juniors that have communicated to me their desire to come back to Georgia I felt it important to address some of these current and any future rumors. I've had discussions with Coach Richt and (AD) Greg McGarity and we are on track to finalizing details on a contract extension. My family enjoys Athens very much. I love the passion and excitement of our fans. We have the program headed in the right direction and I want to be a part of bringing Georgia a championship. My desire is to be at UGA for a very long time. Go Dawgs!"

The Georgia Department of Transportation in Cartersville is gearing up for possible winter weather in northwest Georgia. Here's a press release from District 6, which covers Bartow, Cherokee and Paulding counties:
The first batch of the 2013 winter weather is expected to hit Northwest Georgia late this afternoon and evening with the mountains getting some snow accumulation. This fast approaching winter weather episode is a reminder for the state that despite the relative warm weather of the last two weeks, Old Man Winter is here and may stay for some time. For crews with the Georgia Department of Transportation in Northwest Georgia, that means the potential for long days and even longer nights keeping the roads clear and safe for the traveling public.
Georgia DOT workers in Northwest Georgia are busy this afternoon gearing up for this potential winter weather event. They are getting their trucks mounted and ready to respond if and when the time comes for clearing the roads from snow and/or ice. "Our road clearing crews always hope for the best, but train and prepare for the worst," said Ken Howard, maintenance engineer at the DOT office in Cartersville. "These crews will be happy if winter weather never hits Northwest Georgia. That way they can continue to work on the roads, instead of clearing them. But when inclement weather comes, our main concern becomes road conditions. Keeping the roads safe and open for emergency vehicles is our first priority. We monitor changing weather conditions and treat roads as needed. Interstates are cleared first, and then state routes from the most heavily traveled to the least traveled," Howard explained
The state Department of Transportation in northwest Georgia has the following resources to deal with any winter weather event:
- 270 employees on call, covering 5,117 lane miles;
- 4,885 tons of salt;
- 6,370 tons of gravel; and
- 120 pieces of snow-removal equipment
GDOT is currently monitoring the weather forecasts and road conditions and will respond accordingly and specifically target areas vulnerable to freezing, like hills, ramps, bridges and interchanges.
However, motorists are urged to:
Slow down and stay behind the snowplows. The road behind the plow will be the safest place to drive. Allow at least ten car lengths between your vehicle and snowplows or hopper spreaders.
Do not pass. The plows are wide, and sometimes a group of trucks will work in tandem to clear snow quickly, especially on major highways.
Be particularly aware of black ice conditions on surfaces such as bridge decks and entrance and exit ramps late tonight and the early hours of tomorrow morning.
Remember that technology helps, but only to a point. Four-wheel drive, anti-lock brakes and traction control are beneficial advancements in today's cars, trucks and SUVs, but they can't take the place of good driving habits and the need to reduce speed on snowy or icy roads.
Call 511 or visit www.georgia-navigator.com to get current information on road conditions. Georgia 511 is a free phone service that provides real-time traffic and travel information statewide, such as traffic conditions, incidents, lane closures, and delays due to inclement weather. Callers also can transfer to operators to request assistance or report incidents 24 hours a day, seven days a week. More information is available at www.511ga.org
Motorists can access real-time, statewide, route-specific information on accidents, road work, traffic and weather conditions through Georgia 511—a free phone service—or online at 511ga.org.
On its Facebook page, GDOT urges motorists to be especially aware of potential hazardous situations, including:
- Bridges, as black ice forms there first and can reform quickly;
- Fallen trees, with root systems weakened by drought and saturated by recent heavy rains, the potential exists for strong winds to cause trees to fall onto or adjacent to roadways;
- Traffic signals not operating because of power outages; and
- High-profile vehicles, as they can be difficult to control in high winds.

Reviewed from notes. Served on draught in Glasgow. Coming from Ireland, I found myself a bit embarrassed to order a 'Black and Tan'. Quite a reprehensible title.
A: Nice bubble show as tan bleeds into black. Black colour with a creamy tan head after the bubble show ends.
Sm: Roasted barley, coffee.
T: Very coffee-laden. Roast comes through. Missing the complexity of Guinness: no toffee or chocolate. Balances its few notes and features a nice balanced finish as the coffee carries through.
Mf: Almost dry enough but not quite. Adequately coarse, but too smooth from the body through the finish.
Dr: It's grand-like, but hard to reach for when Guinness is a couple taps over. Stout fanatics like me would do well to give it a go.

I came out with a case of big bottles of domestic craft beers I'd never encountered. More exotic 22 oz selection than in sixes, but plenty of those too. What surprised me were the dozens and dozens of Belgians, plus French and Dutch beers I have never even heard of. More of the wacky Norwegians and New Zealanders than you could possibly want.
Beer piled up everywhere. Vast stacked display of every current Stone beer, for instance. I didn't think prices were high, in fact I noticed Allagash Curieux was a couple dollars cheaper than I've seen elsewhere. And it still has the most Unibroue beers ever seen in one place.
Seems an unlikely place for such a world-class beer selection (with apologies to people who live in the area.) I particularly like the "No bums" signs. "Help us keep the bums out -- don't give them money." At the tasting room: "No bums or anyone who dresses like a bum." If only Best Damn in San Diego would do this-- but they'd lose 3/4 of their customers.

Not in the best part of town (so I'm told by relatives that live there), but no issues or problems to report. The selection was overwhelming to say the least! Since I was visiting and didn't have time, I didn't look through the rows & rows of brews and went straight to the wall of coolers that lined the back wall! Wow! There were offerings from breweries I'd never heard of, as well as a few Stone Verticals 10-10-10 (hope it's been "cellared"???). Picked up a few Saint Archer's, a Bleaching Beaver, and an Ironfire DIPA...decent prices, on par with a BevMo, Total Wine! Like another poster stated, "if you find yourself in Hemet, for whatever reason", this is the place to go for a good selection.

(Went back and re-reviewed this on Jan. 31, 2011, due to recent price increses there)
The following paragraph was added Jan. 31, 2011:
Yeah there selection is second to none and for the most part the beers were always within date there, but the their prices have got to go. I know beer prices are rising a little, but I'm also very up on all the beer prices elsewhere in SoCal stores. Considering that their selection is SO BIG, I'm guessing they get some pretty sweet deals from their distributors just from the sheer volume that they ordered. Even ignoring that aspect, their prices are getting ridiculous. Of the ten beers or so that I price-checked there, they averaged at least a 20% mark-up from current prices at other stores.
TO TOP IT ALL OFF, they had some Pliny the Elder on the shelf bottled in AUGUST OF LAST YEAR. This place is really beginning to disappoint me on a few levels. Their prices are almost insulting anymore.
(previous, original post):
As stated already, this is quite literally one of the few places in Riverside county (that I know of, and it's a big county) where you can get a very large selection of microbrews and foreign beers. The 50 foot wall is no joke and the 10 to 15 (?) coolers, maybe more, isn't either. There are a lot of beers here.
As for freshness, I can think of very few times I had a bad/skunky beer from here, and I can't even begin to count the $ I have spent here. The only time I wasn't impressed was when I spent over $20 on a sour/aged ale. I thought it was bad until I tried another from another store. Sour just ain't my thing.
Service. Nothing special, but there are a few around there with some beer knowledge if you ask.
Price. I can only compare it to some of the prices at two stores in nearby Temecula that I also frequent, and Mega liquor is close to the same until you start to look for some of the more obscure names (and they have many). Some of the more obscure beers are a bit pricey, but I will take it over nothing at all.
Overall it is great to have this store right in Hemet, or for that matter even within a 50 mile radius from my house.

Terrible place to spend your money. The owner is just a flat out bad businessman. Spent $35 on a beer that was bad and was refused a replacement. Wouldn't even call the brewery to see if they would make right. All this after I spent $500 in his store in the past month. Is that the kind of jerk you want to do business with? Not me. Worst service I've received in Southern California and I've been to the top beer shops. Very overpriced charging 4-7$ more per 22oz beer than the competition. Many ales and IPA's are outdated, some by almost a year. Would you like a Ruination that is 7 months pat the "best by" date? If so this is your place. Still lacking in some of the better brews other stores make a point to carry.
My advice...AVOID!

This store is probably one of the bigger overall liquor stores in Riverside County, including a fairly impressive beer assortment.
Once you walk in, you turn tight...right into a 50ft long wall of beer. Again, for the area, great selection. Full lines of Unibroue, Anderson Valley, Ayinger, Lost Coast, and several more. They also have a great cold box selection to choose from as well. They usually have seasonal brews, and if asked, could probably get close to anything that's available in CA. They have been remodeling the store as of late, so I'm sure the shelves will be that much more stocked, not that it's really a problem now, but I'm sure more brands will pop up in the near future...Good Drinking

If you ever find yourself, for whatever Godforsaken reason, stuck in the Hemet area, this is the only place to get good beer. This is a huge store, for local liquor store standards, and features a massive beer section. Last time I was there they had dozens of American micros that I've only seen a few times, and almost the full-line of your typical West Coast breweries (Stone, Lagunitas, Sierra Nevada, etc.). They also had a large selection of German and Canadian imports (most Unibroue's I've seen in one place outside of BevMo). The only disappointment in their selection for me was their lack of Belgians. Don't go there expecting to find anything beyond Stella, Duvel, Hoegaarden, or Chimay.
Their service is very average. I've never had any good nor any particularly bad experiences with them, it just seemed a little impersonal. There is a relatively large staff, since I've never seen the same person there more than two times, and they don't seem to cater as much towards the beer crowd.
Overall, if you're in or going through Hemet, it's worth a visit, but it's nothing worth going out of your way for.

Practical route to careers is given priority in skills drive (From Bicester Advertiser)

Practical route to careers is given priority in skills drive
6:00am Tuesday 10th June 2014 in News By Damian Fantato, Council Reporter, also covering Oxford city centre. Call me on 01865 425429
A BID to create 1,150 extra apprenticeships for young people across the county has been launched.
It comes as part of a new strategy and aims to plug the county's skills gaps, mainly in technical manufacturing.
The first Skills Strategy for Oxfordshire sets out some of the priorities the local enterprise partnership (LEP) – a body made up of Oxfordshire business chiefs and council leaders – wants to tackle.
Nick Bracey, 22, is an apprentice at web designers Oxford e-Books in Kennington.
He said: "I think apprenticeships should be given more coverage. It has worked for me and I think the more people that get involved the better.
"I did a year at university and I found the experience lacking. It is all well and good getting taught in the classroom but without putting that into practice it wavers.
"I believe the experience of an apprenticeship is more valuable. There is oversaturation in the market because everyone has got a degree but not many people have got the experience to back it up."
The Skills Strategy for Ox-fordshire is part of a bid to turn the county into a "knowledge economy," together with the recently-signed City Deal and the LEP's submission to the Growth Fund, which will kick-start the county's economy.
Adrian Lockwood, chairman of the Oxfordshire Skills Board and a LEP board member, said it will start a programme next academic year working with local schools.
It will provide them with information about career opportunities in areas where jobs exist in the county.
He added: "The skills gap we struggle with most is technical manufacturing, often more hands-on people who have done it through a vocational route.
"Young people, when they are given careers guidance, need to understand that an apprenticeship is every bit as good a career route, and sometimes a better one, than going to university."
The creation of the skills strategy has been supported by the Oxford and Oxfordshire City Deal, which was signed by Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg in January. It involves central government investing £55m in the county and giving it more powers.
The LEP has also submitted a bid for a share of the £2bn Growth Fund pot, which could see government money coming into the county to grow the economy.
It is hoped this investment will create 85,600 new jobs by 2031.
One of the objectives of the LEP is to increase the proportion of Oxfordshire's working age population with a level two qualification and above – meaning GCSEs at A* to C or equivalent – to 90 per cent.
Ian Hudspeth, leader of Oxfordshire County Council, said the education authority is "pushing" schools to ensure pupils leave with the right skills.
He added: "We are working with the schools to make sure we get standards raised because if people have got the basics right they are able to use those skills later on."

1.98/5 rDev -51.1%
Writing from ~3-week-old notes. Tried on tap at The Hopyard in San Ramon. Honestly, I may have had a bad keg (or the tap was dirty... something like that - who knows).
A: Hazy golden. Medium white head.
S: Sweet (lots of caramel), grassy, but also soapy.
T: Everything I dislike about heavier IPA's, without the redeeming qualities. Very malty, bready, with a hint of hot alcohol. Bitter off-flavor (cardboard) that completely kills the beer. There may be some nice fruitiness hidden behind it, but I'll never know. No citrus or pineapple is apparent. On the plus side, only a subtle breadiness remains as the aftertaste.
M: "Thick" (syrupy) and heavy. Medium carbonation. I don't like the smell or taste, but the mouthfeel is enjoyable for a slow-sipping beer.
O: You can do better, BR.

On Tap
2012 Firestone Walker Invitational Beer Fest
Paso Robles, CA
Clear golden and light amber with a moderately sized off-white head that leaves spots of lacing down the glass.
Sweet and malty aroma, especially for the style, with some cedar wood complements, and good amounts of caramel, toffee, and alcohol.
The flavor is sweet, slightly boozy, and has distinct wood notes. This isn't what I look for in a DIPA, though I don't think it's a complete failure.
Medium to heavy bodied with moderate carbonation as well as a bit oily. Somewhat heavy and lifeless, especially for the style.
I didn't care for this offering.

Served in a tasting glass at the Bear Republic brewery. From notes. Reviewed 28 April 2012.
A: Heavy lacing, good head. Clear copper color.
S: Molasses and undeniable gingerbread. Nice, but the toasted oak may be the kicker.
T: Tasty caramel and, again, strong gingerbread. Bizarre DIPA. It tastes like candy. Barely any hops or citrus noticeable at all.
M: Not very carbonated; flat and smooth.
O: Interesting and worthwhile. That said, I don't know if I'd have another. 85+ IBU? Psh, I don't know where they are.

Had a 10oz offering at the brew pub. pours a hazy, dark orange. Tastes very sweet with a malty finish. Some slight hop notes with oak lingering there too. My girlfriend who doesn't like beer, thought it tasted like dessert. You can feel the big booze in the taste however. Would say this is drifting towards the American barleywine style.

Growler pour sampled at mrbubbler's tasting courtesy of brwilson.
Pours a clear honey orange with an off-white head that settles to a film on top of the beer. Small dots of lace form around the glass on the drink down. Smell is awesome with honey, citrus fruit, citrus zest, and wood aromas. Taste is the same with a medium level of bitterness after each sip. This beer has a lower level of carbonation with a slightly crisp mouthfeel. Overall, this is a good wood aged DIPA with a fantastic smell.

Pours a dark copper tinted amber, big plume of off-white froth, sticky lacing and sticky liquid. Scent brings resinous hops, orange and grapefruit, medicinal and herbal quality, big malted grain, brown sugar and caramel, oak, notes of vanilla and coconut. I would swear this is a barelywine based on nose alone - great stuff. Mouth feel noticeable immediately on first pour, riach and dense, sticky and oily, big resinous and citrus hop notes, wood edges out the bitterness a bit and brings coconut, malt profile is fresh, caramel and toast. Dry, dry finnish. Really good stuff here, big and bold.

Been trying to get up to the brewery to try this for quite a long. Finally made it!
A: dark orange to copper brown, slightly hazy but still decent clarity. Great head and lacing all the way down the 3 in tall 10oz glass :)
S: Not very big smell, some citrus, malty, kinda of boozy
T: WOW, Right off the bat this beer is just a plain good ol double IPA then upon swallowing it goes to a whole new level! The oak aged aspect it amazing. buttery, nutty and sweet finish on a hop bomb! Amazing. Complex but not overpowering. This beer needs to be bottled!
M: Smooth, extremely drinkable, great carbonation
O: This needs to be bottled right away, if more people tried this and reviewed it, this beer would be up there right away. Its unique and well crafted, creative and kind of daring. LOVE IT! Worth the trip!

Altered Beast! Growler filled at Pony Bar, NYC.
Appearance: Pours a beautiful deep-orange-amber color, with a sizable head but not a lot of retention or lacing.
Smell: Deep and delicious, dust and wood, barrel for sure. Nice sweetness and bourbon. Firewood, spice and dry hops. Malt, some floral notes and stickiness.
Taste: Sweetness upfront, nice booze. Lotsa honey, wood and barrel. I feel like I'm drinking carbonated bourbon and I love it! Great oak flavor, plus brown butter and caramel. Sweet and spicy, very well balanced, damn great beer.
Mouthfeel: Full flavor, body, medium carbonation. Spicy, get those hops? Dry finish, but not overtly so, very manageable. Reminds me of Burton Baton, only better. YES!
Overall: An exceptional brew! One of the best DIPA's I have ever tried... it seriously feel like a major barrel-aged beer without the fanfare, you know what I mean? It drinks damn nice for the ABV and it tastes just so good! I am a fan.

A 8oz pour at the Pony Bar for BA infi's birthday pub adventure! Totally got this on a whim because it's named after one of our favorite games to play on the Sega Genesis.
Pours an unfiltered golden hue into the glass. Clarity is translucent. Frothy white head has a good amount of staying power before receding, leaving a morass of lacing clinging to the inside of the glass. Stuff absolutely cakes itself there. Ridiculous. The smell is sweet and floral, with the Cascade and Sonnet hops melding together to create a wholly enticing nose. There's a bit of sugary bubblegum to be detected, along with a faint hint of vanilla, ostensibly from the American Oak. Tiny shake of bourbon-y booziness at the end. Just a fantastic-smelling beer all around.
Taste is out of this world. I know this is an IPA, but there's nary a trace of bitterness to be had. Instead, there's a ton of floral and hoppy essences that pervade the senses, washing over the palate and treating your taste buds to a wondrous cacophony of flavor. The taste starts on a sweet note which carries throughout the entire sip, never once becoming cloying, but instead melding harmoniously with the rest of the flavors. Some earthy oakiness, followed swiftly by a pleasant tinge of alcoholic warmth. I know the booze is there, it's just nearly impossible to detect. Rounds off with a silky smooth buttery kick that accentuates the hops to a degree I didn't think possible. Just phenomenal all around. Mouthfeel is medium-bodied and easy on the tongue with a nice, easy-to-drink feel. The carbonation is just right.
Just everything about this beer is right on. My cousin and I have fond memories of trying to get through Altered Beast on the Sega, but now that we're old enough to appreciate craft beer, this Beast has altered us. Bear Republic has an absolute gem of a brew on its hands and this needs to be bottled and/or distributed regularly. It is a fantastic and extremely well-done example of an Imperial IPA. I would honestly drink this every day if I could, it's that good.

James Fallows Reveals Inner Moonbat: '5 Signs the United States Is Undergoing a Coup'
James Fallows, national correspondent for The Atlantic, usually presents an image of himself as a "reasonable" liberal. However yesterday he revealed his inner moonbat with an article title worthy of a thread name in the sanity challenged Democratic Underground: "5 Signs the United States is Undergoing a Coup." After a few hours of reflection, Fallows realized he allowed too much of his moonbat side to be displayed to the public so he altered the title with this explanation:
Midnight update: This item went up three hours ago with a more blunt-instrument headline than it should ever have had: "5 Signs the United States is Undergoing a Coup." I used the word "coup" in a particular way in the longer item this was drawn from. Using it in the headline implies things I don't mean.
Actually, James, reading your article shows you do mean it. Namely that the United States Supreme court has somehow brought about a "coup."
First, a presidential election is decided by five people, who don't even try to explain their choice in normal legal terms.
Then the beneficiary of that decision appoints the next two members of the court, who present themselves for consideration as restrained, humble figures who care only about law rather than ideology.
Once on the bench, for life, those two actively second-guess and re-do existing law, to advance the interests of the party that appointed them.
Meanwhile their party's representatives in the Senate abuse procedural rules to an extent never previously seen to block legislation -- and appointments, especially to the courts.
And, when a major piece of legislation gets through, the party's majority on the Supreme Court prepares to negate it -- even though the details of the plan were originally Republican proposals and even though the party's presidential nominee endorsed these concepts only a few years ago.
Fallows offbase whining would be slightly more believable if he had criticized Obama's constitutional abuses such as his belated invocation of executive privilege in the Fast & Furious scandal or his bypassing of Congress with his unilateral decision to grant amnesty to millions of illegals. However, Fallows is completely in error by recycling that stale shibboleth frequently recited by liberals that the Supreme Court somehow "decided" the 2000 election. Here is a fact pill that Fallows might want to swallow to counter his current moonbat condition although at this point it might be terminal. It comes in the form of a NewsBusters reminder by Brent Baker:
...a reminder that both recounts conducted by major media outlets in 2001 determined George W. Bush would have won anyway.
...The lead of an April 4, 2001 USA Today story headlined, "Newspapers' recount shows Bush prevailed," by reporter Dennis Cauchon:
George W. Bush would have won a hand count of Florida's disputed ballots if the standard advocated by Al Gore had been used, the first full study of the ballots reveals. Bush would have won by 1,665 votes -- more than triple his official 537-vote margin -- if every dimple, hanging chad and mark on the ballots had been counted as votes, a USA TODAY/Miami Herald/Knight Ridder study shows. The study is the first comprehensive review of the 61,195 "undervote" ballots that were at the center of Florida's disputed presidential election....
The New York Times led its November 12, 2001 front page article, "Study of Disputed Florida Ballots Finds Justices Did Not Cast the Deciding Vote," by reporters Ford Fessenden and John M. Broder:
A comprehensive review of the uncounted Florida ballots from last year's presidential election reveals that George W. Bush would have won even if the United States Supreme Court had allowed the statewide manual recount of the votes that the Florida Supreme Court had ordered to go forward.
Contrary to what many partisans of former Vice President Al Gore have charged, the United States Supreme Court did not award an election to Mr. Bush that otherwise would have been won by Mr. Gore. A close examination of the ballots found that Mr. Bush would have retained a slender margin over Mr. Gore if the Florida court's order to recount more than 43,000 ballots had not been reversed by the United States Supreme Court.
So will this fact pill be enough to cure Fallows of his moonbat affliction? Probably not but Fallows shouldn't feel alone. Your humble correspondent is predicting that many of Fallows' fellow liberals will go or have already gone full moonbat this year. In fact, you could call 2012 the Year of the Moonbat.
UPDATE: Did I write that the original title of Fallow's article was worth of a thread name at the Democratic Underground? Well it IS a thread by that same name at DU. Moonbat James, meet your fellow moonbats.

It seems to me, Putz, that this passage of yours disproves your whole point. How can ruling it unconstitutional be partisan when, as you say, it's full of republican ideas.
"And, when a major piece of legislation gets through, the party's majority on the Supreme Court prepares to negate it -- even though the details of the plan were originally Republican proposals and even though the party's presidential nominee endorsed these concepts only a few years ago."

Complete and utter partisan dogma
Submitted by c5then on Mon, 06/25/2012 - 11:19am.
This is the beginning of the "attack the court" strategy that some predicted would occur if the narcissist-in-chief didn't get his way.
The Constitutionality of a law has absolutely nothing to do with which party passed it or by what majority in what house or if it was bipartisan or anything else. This is the concept that most liberals cannot seem to grasp. There being an absolute authority over what the government is allowed to do, whether a "good idea" or not is completely foreign to their way of thinking.
SCOTUS in 2000, simply ruled that the democrats could not pick certain districts in certain counties to perform "recounts" in and use different criteria in each case as they saw fit. Before that, they ruled that the democrats could not challange an election result, before it was certified to the Secretary of the State. Simply stated, before the certification there is no official result to challange.
I await the Obama 2012 version of the FDR plan to expand the SCOTUS because they are "so over-worked and have too much to do".

What interested me even more
Submitted by tcm14 on Mon, 06/25/2012 - 1:10pm.
What interested me even more in this article is the part where he says 19 of 21 constitutional scholars agree Obamacare is constitutional, but only 8 of them think it will pass the SCOTUS, and then he used this to say that conservative justices are activist extremists.
But are the 21 constitutional scholars non-partisan? Academia is dominated by the left, and Obama himself is a constitutional scholar. This just seems like another attempt to paint leftist narratives as non-partisan while anything that disagrees with them is radical.
I am rapidly learning that this is the greatest weapon in the ideological wars: the appearance of non-partisanship and objectivity. Otherwise smart people I know will fall for anything based not on how accurate it is, but whether they think it is non-partisan.

The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill said a data breach could impact up to 6,000 people.
In a release, the university said some electronic files in the Division of Finance and Administration became accessible on the Internet. The files contained information such as names and Social Security or Employee Tax Identification numbers, and in some cases, addresses and dates of birth.
The files involved personal information about some current and former employees, vendors and students.
"Other than Google's activities described above, we have not been able to determine whether individual personal information was accessed by others or was misused as a result of this incident," Kevin Seitz, interim vice chancellor for finance and administration, said in the notification letter sent to the affected people's last known addresses.
As of Nov. 23, the records were no longer accessible on the Internet after Google complied with a request from the university.
Recent UNC graduates had mixed opinions on the breach.
Sagi Gillera said, "If it was through the school, that's kind of hard to believe because we have to change our password to sign in for stuff at school, grades, for assignments every three months."
Omar Alsai said, "I didn't think it was too big a deal because I keep up with all my stuff. You hear about it all the time so it wasn't that big of a surprise."
Meanwhile Andrea Hamersky said, "I think it is horrible. I don't think it's right for students and faculty to have to go through that."
The investigation into how the data was make accessible started last month and the university started notifying those affected Dec. 10.
People also can contact the toll-free call center assisting the University at 1-866-458-3184 from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. weekdays until Feb. 10. People at the call center are able to assist in English or Spanish, and anyone needing translation assistance in Burmese or Karen can call the Facilities Services human resources office at 919-962-9060 or visit the office in Room 110 of the Giles Horney Building on Airport Drive.

Waste Reduction, Recycling & Composting at Arlington State Fair (VA)
The Arlington County Fair partnered with Keep America Beautiful (KAB) and Alcoa Foundation to increase waste reduction, recycling and composting through the strategic placement of recycling bins across the property. KAB also provided an accompanying educational booth, designed to raise awareness about the environmental and economic impact of recycling. The initiative in Arlington included the placement of 30 new, well-marked recycling bins located throughout the expo hall and midway. Twenty-five new wheeled bins were used in the picnic and vendor area. Compost stations were also set-up for both prep-waste from vendors and post-consumer waste from fair-goers.

Suns Strokes: Suns suffer third-worst defeat in franchise history
Sure, you could read the box score and know who won, but we all know that won't tell you everything that happened in a basketball game. So, we will give you Suns Strokes, providing you with the analysis, quotes and notes from the Suns' 117-77 loss to the Pistons on November 28.
The Good:
The Suns didn't have much go their way Wednesday night.
Luis Scola led the team with 11 points and six rebounds in the loss, which shows just how poorly Phoenix performed.
The Bad:
Detroit handed Phoenix its third-worst loss in franchise history.
The Suns didn't notch an assist for the entire second and most of the third quarters. According to STATS, the last team to go a whole quarter without an assist was the Toronto Raptors on Nov. 13.
Phoenix suffered a complete meltdown in the third quarter, in which the starters made just one shot. The Suns were also called for four technical fouls in the period.
They also totaled 19 turnovers in the loss.
The Suns were behind by as many as 44 points in the fourth quarter.
The loss wasn't the worst in the NBA this season -- that distinction belongs to the Charlotte Bobcats, who lost to the Oklahoma City Thunder 114-69 Monday night.
He Said It:
"There was nothing that we did that you could say was even NCAA quality," head coach Alvin Gentry said. "It was an absolutely horrendous game, and we'll have to do much, much better."
Up Next:
The Suns will continue their six-game road trip on Friday night against the Toronto Raptors. Tip-off is scheduled for 5:00 p.m.

Felony charge dismissed against Mount Holly manMay 02,2013Deadly weapon
charge dropped
Rutland County prosecutors have dismissed a Mount Holly mans charge of assault with a deadly weapon.
Months after Nathan M. Turco, 35, was charged with the felony offense, prosecutors dropped the charge as part of a plea deal in which Turco pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of simple assault.
Turco also admitted to violating his probation for a prior offense and was sentenced in March to serve 111 days in jail with credit for time served, according to court records.
Vermont State Police arrested Turco in November after an incident at a home on Shunpike Road in Mount Holly, where a 17-year-old told police that Turco held a knife to his throat and threatened him.
Prosecutors did not explain in court filings why the felony assault charge was dropped.MORE IN This Just InTOWNSHEND — A 26-year-old Townshend man shot his off-again, on-again girlfriend late...

LA JOLLA (CBS 8) - Divers who frequently swim in the waters off La Jolla Cove are reporting an increase in the number of sharks in the area.
One veteran diver captured video of a sevengill shark on Friday.
He tells News 8, he has never seen as many sharks as he has in the past few weeks.
"I have seen more sharks this year than any year in my 45 years of diving here," said Rod Watkins, owner of Scuba San Diego.
His last sighting was Friday, about a quarter of a mile from the La Jolla Cove.
Watkins was guiding a family of four when they spotted not one, but nearly 15 sharks.
"One of them almost hit me in the face with his tail as he was turning to go away from me," he said.
Underwater footage shows just how close Watkins got.
According to him, the most common species he's been seeing over the past few weeks have been sevengill and soup fins.
"They have all the serious equipment to hurt any human being," he says.
But given his 40 plus years of experience, Watkins says he's not scared of sharks. He just sees them as big fish.
"No. Well, we tell them to briefly tie up and use the buddy system and enjoy the view cause you can dive a lot of places and not see sharks like you see them here," Watkins said.
That advice he gave to that family of four on Friday, who surprisingly loved every minute of their diving experience.
"They got out of the water, and all they could say is awesome," he said.

The Eastern Question in Europe and Asia
In the late-19th century, European politics were troubled by what had come to be called the "Eastern Question," the fate of the 600-year Ottoman Empire. Once encompassing the Ottoman heartland of Anatolia (present-day Turkey), most of the Arab Middle East, and the Balkan Peninsula, by 1886 the empire had shrunk dramatically as a result of wars with European powers, Russia in particular, and revolts by subject peoples. This 1886 map, published in London, shows the Turkish Empire as comprised mainly of Albania, Thrace, Crete, Anatolia, and parts of the Arab ...

A major Midwest snowstorm is expected to clip parts of southern Michigan as it moves past the state.
The National Weather Service says 1 to 3 inches of snow is expected by Tuesday night in Van Buren and Kalamazoo counties in southwestern Michigan.
Slick roads are expected in places.
Snow is possible in some other southern Michigan counties. Elsewhere in the state, little or no snow accumulation is expected.
As far as Mid-Michigan, TV5 Meteorologist Catherine Bodak says the approaching storm system will slide through portions of the Ohio River Valley Tuesday. Accumulating snow will fall south of the state line.
This will send clouds back into the region as high temperatures climb into the low/mid 30s.
A few flurries are possible this evening but most areas will be dry and cloudy.
Warmer conditions and a bit more sunshine will return later this week.

A woman who was on her way to the World Trade Center when the first plane struck 12-years ago spoke to kids in Tifton Wednesday.
Honey Brown lived in New York at the time and had an appointment in the north tower that morning. Thankfully, she was running a little late. Brown now lives in Tifton and wants children to know her story.
"9-11 is part of history and since they were like one years old, some of them just being born it's important that they know that I survived it. But is something that will be in the history books," said Honey Brown.
Brown's husband was in the National Guard and helped pull people from the rubble after the attack.

A vacation doesn't always require air fare and lodging. All you really need for a vacation is a day off and the words "let's go a little further down this road". Such was our experience on a warm and bright November day. We had planned on a short drive to one of our local hill-cradled reservoirs to get some sun and let our dog run until he was tired. Instead we kept driving up a windy road and found ourselves perched atop a ridge looking down onto the ocean. By this point the town of Bolinas was not to far away and so we decided to keep going a little further.
Bolinas is one of those places that doesn't seem real at first. After all, farm stands don't rely on the honor system for payment and kids don't go to school in well kept schoolhouses. If you're like me you might think you've snuck onto a movie set, possibly another Spielberg film set in a nostalgic portrait of an American town. However the schoolhouse is real, and so is the farm stand, which is owned by Gospel Flat Farms and resides in what is the extended front porch of a small white farmhouse. The farm stand's honor system is simple: every morning local fruits and vegetable are harvested and brought to the stand where they are cleaned up and put out for sale. After that you are left to choose your produce, weigh it, write down what you bought and drop your payment into a slotted box. Inside the farmhouse beautiful light pours in through dormer windows and splashes against plaster walls and a well worn pine floor. This space functions as an art gallery and is currently showing the photography of Ethan Rafal. Like the produce stand, the gallery trusts the public and is left wide open.
After filling up a paper grocery bag with a little bit of everything at the farm stand, we got back into the car and drove down a road flanked by tall poplar trees. All the houses along this road sported white paint, sweeping porches, gingerbread details and like any good farmhouse they were surrounded by manageable plots of farmland. This road soon took us into downtown Bolinas, which consists of maybe three or four blocks. We parked our car when we arrived at a dead end that was defined by the waves of an incoming tide. As the waves pulled out, the beach was revealed long enough for Duke (our dog) to stretch out his stride in pursuit of thrown driftwood. We stayed long enough for Duke to make a mess of himself and decided we should make our way back.
The way we came was more circuitous than it need be so we went back down Highway 1, past Stinson Beach, through the shadow of Mount Tamalpais and met up with The 101 in Mill Valley. Our mission had been fulfilled – Duke was asleep in the back seat. When we got back home, shortly after roasting potatoes and sauteing some of the beet greens we bought, I opened up my web browser. I needed to find out how long the commute from Bolinas to San Francisco would be

Donate to Disaster Relief--USA Disasters & Emergencies
Your faithful giving is deeply appreciated.
Severe storms and tornadoes move across the Midwest, Southeast
A powerful storm system spawning multiple tornadoes moved through the Midwest down to the southern parts of the United States from February 28 to March 3, 2012, causing the destruction of hundreds of homes, numerous injuries, and at least 50 deaths.
Some of the areas most impacted
Alabama had at least 16 tornadoes. Five injuries were reported. As many as 40 homes were destroyed and several hundred more were damaged. Some of the houses damaged were just recently rebuilt from damage incurred by tornadoes in April 2011.
In Illinois, at least six people died from the EF4 tornado that struck the city of Harrisburg on February 28 and destroyed 200 homes.
Indiana reported 16 tornadoes. There were 13 fatalities, and the cities of Henryville and Marysville were heavily damaged.
Kentucky reported 32 tornadoes, with 12 fatalities. Flash flooding was also reported in Bell County, Kentucky.
Ohio had nine tornadoes, with three people dead and eight injured.
Tennessee had 11 tornadoes, with three fatalities and 40 people injured. At least five counties were impacted.
A report from the Presbytery of Ohio Valley (Henryville) states "the church building in Henryville is "gutted". The community of 2,000 is terribly damaged. Schools are destroyed and public buildings are gone." Louisville news reports describe the community of Marysville, Indiana (a town about 10 miles from Henryville with a population of approximately 2,000 people) as "gone".
Presbytery of Ohio Valley reports that the communities and Presbyterian churches of other nearby towns also suffered damage, but the churches are working to feed those in need while assisting the workers from the Red Cross and other relief agencies.
Presbyterian Disaster Assistance (PDA) has been actively following reports of the tornado damage. One Great Hour of Sharing funds are on their way to several mid-councils, and we anticipate requests from others as details and needs are assessed. Members of the National Response Team (NRT) have been sent to work with several mid-councils (presbyteries) as they determine how to respond within their communities. NRT members will also be assessing ways that volunteers may be able to contribute to long-term recovery in the affected communities.
What you can do
Give. You can help in this response through your financial gifts to DR000015 — U.S.A. Disasters and Emergencies; or give to the PDA General Account – DR000148.
- Contact the PDA Call Center by email or call (866) 732-6121 to let them know of your teams' interest in volunteering to help with recovery and rebuilding efforts. Eden Carroll will take your information and let you know when volunteer opportunities arise.
- Prepare Gift of the Heart Kits. When widespread disasters occur, there is usually a need to replenish the supply to ensure a sufficient quantity for future disaster situations. Learn more about hygiene kits, baby kits, school kits and clean up buckets.
- Sign up to receive PDA RIN (Rapid Information Network) emails to be aware of current responses and urgent needs you can share with your congregation.
Pray: Our best response is prayer. Please pray for those in the storm-stricken communities including congregations, families, and those seeking to salvage what little the storms left behind. Also pray for strength for those offering assistance, and for those who will participate in the recovery efforts in the upcoming days and months.

The trail is steadily being extended. Before you visit, check the Conemaugh Valley Conservancy website for current route information.Since the first trail section opened, the West Penn Trail has been extended to cover 17 miles. It is made up of five sections: 1) Conemaugh River Lake, near the Conemaugh Dam; passes over four stone arch bridges dating back to the early 1900s; 2) Bow Ridge Switchback to Conemaugh Dam Section passes two tunnels and a hydroelectric plant; challenging and great for extreme bikers; 3) Dick Mayer, follows a former railroad bed and is challenging; 4) Saltsburg, hugs the banks of the Conemaugh River for more than 4 miles, passing through beautiful woodlands filled with lush green vegetation during warmer months; horseback riding permitted; 5) Kiski Extension, continues along the east riverbank for 1.5 miles, where it comes to an open field. Past this point the trail becomes private property and has two washouts that are not passable by bicycle.Two main events are held in Saltsburg each year: an annual Native American Festival and a 3-day Canal Day Festival with live music, crafts, food, games and fireworks.

Dorante, a charming young man, has but a single flaw: he cannot tell the truth. Newly arrived in Paris, he quickly befriends and hires Cliton, a uniquely trusty manservant who cannot tell a lie. In a chance encounter, Dorante falls in love with Clarice, a young woman whose name he unfortunately mistakes for that of her friend Lucrece. What our hero regrettably does not know is that his father is trying to get him married to this selfsame Clarice-a point complicated even further by the fact that she is already secretly engaged to Dorante's best friend Alcippe. Nor is he aware that the real Lucrece has fallen madly in love with him! >From all these misunderstandings and breathtakingly intricate lies, springs one of the Western world's greatest comedies. Full of intrigue, bravado, and laughs, The Liar is a delightful urban romance as fresh as the day Pierre Corneille wrote it.
The Liar stars Austin Playhouse Acting Company members Hildreth Enland (Clarice), Claire Grasso (Isabelle/Sabine), Huck Huckaby (Geronte), Benjamin Summers (Dorante), Lara Toner (Lucrece), and Ben Wolfe (Cliton), with Samuel Knowlton (Alcippe), and Stephen Mercantel (Philiste).
The play is directed by Don Toner, with set design by Patrick Crowley, lighting design by Don Day, costume design by Buffy Manners, and sound design by Joel Mercado-See.
This new adaptation of The Liar was commissioned by The Shakespeare Theatre Company in Washington, D.C. in 2010 as part of their Rediscovery Series. Austin Playhouse is proud to be presenting its Austin premiere.
The season continues with the world premiere of Roaring by Cyndi Williams, April 4 - May 4, 2014, and a soon-to-be-announced comedy, May 23 - June 22, 2014.
Austin Playhouse is a professional theatre currently performing its 14th season. Under the leadership of Producing Artistic Director Don Toner and Artistic Director Lara Toner Haddock, Austin Playhouse has grown from a three-play season on the campus of Concordia University, to a year-round operation producing an average of eight plays a year. Austin Playhouse is currently planning to build its own two-performance venue space in the heart of the new Mueller Redevelopment Town Center, adjacent to the new Austin Children's Museum.
