On tap at Sugar Maple in Milwaukee.
Light, smoked aroma is pleasant and reminiscent of a campfire. White head. Radiant, clear, golden color. Wonderful, rich smoked biscuit flavor starts off immediately and is stunning. Amazing depth to the smoked oak; you can just taste the complexity of the oak, and that sits atop a base of smoke. Finish is floral hops behind lingering oak and smoke.
Absolutely amazing. One of the best smoked biers I've had yet. Just wonderful.

I've had this beer on tap several times and most recently at the Potosi Brewfest. Thanks Brian for a generous pour!!
Thick, dense, frothy head. Brilliant white with turbid light pale color in body. Clean malty smoke nose. Light and thin taste but very bready and nice smoke malt backbone. Refreshing with a touch of sourness. Highly quaffable. Very enjoyable.

Grätzer is labelled as a "Polish-style hoppy oak-smoked wheat ale"
Yeah, that's right. A smoked wheat ale. I may just be sheltered, but that's the first time I've ever come across that particular combo. As a lover of strange and unusual beers, I felt compelled to purchase a growler for "further study" back home once I had heard about it. And here are the results:
Grätzer pours out with a very Hefeweizen-like appearance, it has a clouded straw-golden appearance with a soap-bubble foam head that dies back to about a cm thick and stays that way for the duration of the glass. Some light concentric rings of lace are left behind on the inner surface of the glass. It feels so strange to be looking at a light-colored smoked beer! The aroma is a heavy slap of ham smoke mixed with a payload of musty earthen / boiled bitter hopping, the wheat malt's sweetness comes across as an accent tone that is probably responsible for the perception of 'ham'.
Although the oak wood is difficult to find in the nose, it outright dominates the flavor with heavy amounts of tannic / wooden bitterness double-teamed with some straightforward boiled hop pithiness. All of this is supplemented by sharp carbonation and a lighter, crisp body. VERY dry for an ale, only the slightest of wheat twang pops up in the aftertaste.
My only criticism is that the smoke and wood payload could stand to be reduced by about 15% to allow the wheat malt a bit more breathing room. Other than that, I enjoyed this beer.

We also have a soft spot for movies that showcase and triumph the underdog, and a good documentary allows us to see, despite different times or cultures, a little bit of ourselves in each subject.
10. 'The Most Dangerous Man in America: Daniel Ellsberg and the Pentagon Papers'
When military analyst Daniel Ellsberg leaked confidential Department of Defense documents concerning the Vietnam War to the New York Times in 1971, he was both derided as a traitor and celebrated as a hero. "The Pentagon Papers" sparked a nationwide debate over how much information should be divulged during wartime and what responsibility the media has, if any, if the government feels its citizens are at risk should the info become public. This incisive documentary takes a look back at the incident and, given America's current climate, still holds particular relevancy today.
9. 'Burma VJ: Reporting From a Closed Country'
A trenchant look into both the power of collective protest and increasing use of technology to further social causes, 'Burma VJ' refers to a group of Burmese video journalists that took part in and documented governmental protests, smuggling the footage to Thai colleagues. The most guerrilla film on this list, the movie stands as a powerful reminder of the lengths and risks some people will go in an attempt to earn their freedom.
8. 'Capitalism: A Love Story'
Arguably the most polarizing documentarian working today, Michael Moore's films inspire equal amounts of admiration and vitriol depending on your political views. 'Capitalism: A Love Story,' naturally, is no different, but it does expose and foment the growing realization that for most people without Wall Street bonuses in the seven figures (or more!), the game is rigged and control of your own money seems more and more like a pipe dream every day.
7. 'Outrage'
Four years ago filmmaker Kirby Dick exposed the MPAA's arbitrary ratings dissemination with 'This Film is Not Yet Rated,' an unique exposé on the nebulous backdoor dealings of the cinematic cabal. In 'Outrage,' Dick turns his attention to gay politicians, both closeted and out, and allegations of hypocrisy when it comes to legislating gay rights. Dick's decision to "out" certain people has come under fire, but regardless, the film serves as a microcosm of the overall hypocrisy sadly found in many of our elected leaders.
6. 'The Beaches of Agnès'
That 'The Beaches of Agnès,' a film about the life and work of French director Agnès Varda directed by the filmmaker herself, doesn't devolve into pretentiousness or self-adulation is a testament to both Varda's storytelling ability and humility. Using footage from Varda's past films as well as re-enactments of her life's key moments, 'Beaches' shows the summation of a life's work from a visionary filmmaker.
5. 'Tyson'
With someone as outspoken and charismatic as Mike Tyson, director James Toback ('Fingers,' 'Black and White') doesn't really have to do anything more than turn on the camera and start asking questions. Even non-boxing fans have marveled over 'Tyson,' equally repelled and enraptured by a man capable of both biting the ear off another fighter and becoming a loving, even playful, father.
While Chernobyl is a household word, far fewer people are aware of the plight of 30,000 Ecuadorians that staged a class action lawsuit against Chevron, claiming the company's oil spills led to countless deaths, illnesses and destruction of the Amazonian rainforest. Director Joe Berlinger uses multiple perspectives to indict not just Chevron, but the Ecuadorian government and other oil companies for their neglect and complacency. One of the year's most powerful films.
3. 'Anvil! The Story of Anvil'
Admired by legendary bands such as Metallica and Megadeth, Anvil was a Canadian heavy metal group that, despite their best efforts, never made it past the minor leagues during the genre's 1980s heyday. Twenty-five years later, singer Steve "Lips" Kudlow and drummer Robb Reiner are still logging the miles waiting for their big break. Ostensibly a film about the virtually insurmountable obstacles it takes to make it as a professional musician, the year's most inspiring movie applies to anyone who is determined enough to not let anything interfere with achieving their goals. The film's snubbing by the Academy Awards is a cinematic travesty.
2. 'The Cove'
Taiji, Japan is a small town on the Japanese coastline whose economy thrives on the hunting, killing and selling of dolphins. When former animal trainer turned activist Richard O'Barry and his team try to infiltrate the town to expose the dangers inherent in the practice -- not to mention the high toxicity levels in much of the meat unbeknownst to Japanese consumers -- they are not exactly welcome with open arms. Described by Rolling Stone as 'Flipper' meets 'The Bourne Identity,' this is the epitome of fearless, courageous filmmaking.
1. 'Food, Inc.'
Forget 'Paranormal Activity.' Robert Kenner made the scariest film of the year by showing us what we're really putting in our bodies every day. A broad, scathing indictment of the major food-producing companies and the governmental agencies complicit in contributing to widespread obesity and over 70,000 E. Coli-related illnesses annually, it's never pretty to watch, but it may be the most important movie of the year.

Victim named after New Milton car crash fireball as postmaster Vasta Odedra
Updated 12:29pm Thursday 5th June 2014 in News
Police have named the man who died when his car exploded following a crash.
Lymington postmaster Vasta Odedra, 29, was pronounced dead at the scene following the crash on A337 at Everton, near New Milton, a week ago today.
He had spent the day with friends in London was returning home when the accident happened near the entrance to Otter Nurseries.
His widow Shanti paid tribute to her late husband, describing him as a "kind and friendly man who made friends wherever he went".
She added: "The postmaster at Lymington Post Office had only recently moved into the area with his loving wife and had lived in the area for less than two months with big aspirations of setting up his own business.
"His dream had been to run his own Post Office and he had finally managed to realise his dream, however in the early hours of May 29, when was taken away from us on his trip back home after meeting friends in London.
"He was a kind a friendly person and made friends wherever he went. He was loved by family and friends and he will be sorely missed after having only been with us so briefly."
Officers from Totton Roads Policing Unit are still keen to hear from anyone who may have stopped at the scene or drove past following the collision.
Anyone with any information is asked to contact Sgt Glen Barham at Totton Police Station on 101, quoting Operation Ascella.

At UFC 129: St. Pierre vs. Shields the first round of Georges St. Pierre vs. Jake Shields was slow but dominant for the champion. Shields attempted two takedowns, but could get nothing. GSP shows crisp, but reserved striking.
ROUND 2 - Shields is nearly there every time for the right hand. Both fighters still not landing much of anything significant. Another right hand over the top that glances Shields' chin. And another, but this one staggers Shields a little. Again, double jab to overhand right for GSP just slightly off target. Turning side kick pushes Shields back. Crowd getting a little restless from the lack of activity. And again, the overhand right just glances from the Canadian. 45 seconds left and Shields has not shot in on GSP one time throughout the course of two rounds. GSP switches to southpaw and stalks Shields, throws an outside leg kick that sends Shields to the mat.
SBNation.com scores this round 10-9 GSP.

Five years ago, the Boston Red Sox "won" the right to negotiate with Seibu Lions pitcher Daisuke Matsuzaka, by submitting a $51.1 million posting fee.
Monday, we learned the Texas Rangers had won the right to negotiate with Nippon Ham Fighters pitcher Yu Darvish, by submitting a $51.7 million posting fee.*
* It's popularly believed that the Red Sox and Rangers paid those figures to the Japanese teams merely for the right to negotiate, regardless of the ultimate disposition of those negotiations. No. The funds are transferred only if the player does eventually sign a contract with the North American club. Which almost always does happen.
Like Matsuzaka was in 2006, Darvish is still a young man; he won't turn 26 until next August.
Other than the posting fees, though, the differences between Darvish and Daisuke are stark.
Hell, they're not even both fully Japanese; Darvish's father is a native of Iran: Farsad Darvishsefad. Oh, and his parents met in Florida. So he's a Japanese-Iranian (or vice versa) by way of St. Petersburg.
Of course, both did exhibit outstanding stuff in Japan.
Their actual performances, though? Quite different.
Matsuzaka graduated from high school directly to the Japanese major leagues. As an 18-year-old rookie he started the All-Star Game. He finished that season 16-5 with a 2.60 ERA. He also threw 180 innings.
As a 19-year-old, Dice-K threw only 168 innings ... and then came 20. When he was 20, Dice-K somehow threw 240 innings despite starting only 20 games, 12 of which he completed; he relieved in 13 more.
That's an immense number of innings for a 20-year-old pitcher. Also, he struck out 214 hitters and walked 117, so he must have thrown an immense number of pitches.
To the surprise of nobody in Japan who had read Craig Wright's work, Matsuzaka didn't throw anything like 214 innings the next season. He couldn't, because he spent most of the next season on the disabled list.
I'll not belabor this point much further. Matsuzaka threw 348 innings when he was 18 and 19, then from 20 through 24 his innings went 240, 73, 194, 143, 215.
Darvish also reached the Japanese majors at 18, and threw 244 innings at 18 and 19. From 20 through 24, his innings went 208, 201, 182, 202, 232.
Darvish has obviously thrown more innings than Dice-K from Ages 20 through 24, but that's actually a positive marker for Darish; he's thrown a ton of innings, but not as tonnish as Dice from 18 through 20. Also, because he's always kept his walks exceptionally low, Darvish probably hasn't thrown nearly as many pitches per start as Matsuzaka did.
There's no such thing as a sure thing. Matsuzaka wasn't a sure thing. Darvish isn't a sure thing. But on scale of non-surety, and based solely on the numbers at hand, Darvish seems significantly less risky than Matsuzaka. He's been absolutely healthy throughout his professional career, and he's got better numbers to boot.
Both pitchers struck out nearly nine per nine innings in Japan. But where Matsuzaka walke roughly three batters every nine innings, Darvish's walk rate is roughly 25 percent lower. Matsuzaka's strikeout-to-walk ratio in Japan was 2.7; Darvish's was 3.8.
Now, I must mention that Dice's strikeouts and walks were outstanding in his last two seasons in Japan, which I'm sure is what made him so bloody attractive to the Red Sox. But again, this is sort of the point; what Matsuzaka did for those last two seasons, Darvish has done for the last five seasons. He's been excellent and he's been consistent.
Of course, $51.7 million is a great deal of money. And that's not even the half of it.
The Red Sox paid the Seibu Lions $51.1 million, and they paid Daisuke Matsuzaka $41.7 million. Considering that Dice-K won only 49 games in his five seasons with the Sox, they didn't really get their $92.8 million worth.
It's going to take more to get Yu Darvish. There's been some loose talk about a five-year, $75 million contract. Which would mean a total outlay of roughly $125 million, or $25 million per season. Darvish would essentially replace C.J. Wilson, a really good pitcher, in the Rangers' rotation. Wilson has to be replaced because he's left to pitch for the Angels, who are going to pay him $15 million per season.
That's how much the Rangers seem to like Yu Darvish.

FIFA 'reevaluating' Brazilian version of vuvuzela
SAO PAULO (AP) — The days of the caxirola, Brazil's version of the vuvuzela, may be over even before the Confederations Cup begins in June.
FIFA and the local 2014 World Cup organizing committee said Friday they are reconsidering whether to allow fans to use the maraca-like instrument during the warm-up tournament. The decision came after police in northeastern Brazil banned the instruments from football stadiums because of security concerns.
It is the second World Cup in a row there has been a controversy involving local instruments used by fan.
Throughout the 2010 event in South Africa there was debate about the use of vuvuzelas — plastic horns which created a din that drowned out all other crowd noise.
The caxirolas will not be allowed at the Arena Fonte Nova this weekend in the final of the Bahia state final because fans upset about their team's loss last month threw the green-and-yellow objects onto the pitch, forcing the match to be briefly interrupted.

Full disclosure: my wife and I agreed that our son's first name would be Thomas before we agreed on what his middle name would be, due in part to the fact that I wanted to name the boy "Thomas Jonathan Jackson King," after the Confederate general. (I also thought "Thomas J.J. King" would sound a lot like "Thomas R.R. Cobb," the son-in-law of Joseph Henry Lumpkin and the author of the Georgia Code.) Accordingly, I threw up in my mouth a little when Dr. Saturday referred to Stonewall Jackson as "a West Virginia native." He may have been born in what is now West Virginia, but General Jackson was born in 1824, and West Virginia was created in 1863, when Abraham Lincoln (who claimed the express reservation of all non-delegated powers to the states and to the people contained in the Tenth Amendment did not authorize the states to secede) quite inconsistently recognized a collection of Virginia counties as a new state, in clear violation of Article IV, Section 3, Clause 1, of the U.S. Constitution ("New States may be admitted by the Congress into this Union; but no new States shall be formed or erected within the Jurisdiction of any other State; nor any State be formed by the Junction of two or more States, or parts of States, without the Consent of the Legislatures of the States concerned as well as of the Congress"). Had any man suggested in General Jackson's presence that he was anything other than a Virginian, Old Blue Light would have been quite clear in correcting the misinformed offender. I don't mean to get political, but, dadgum, there are some errors a Southerner just ought not to make! Go 'Dawgs!
I have to admit, though, that "burned my hometown to the ground" would have been a big strike against certain chief executives. Go 'Dawgs!

Oklahoma State University is now a contender for the "South's Best Tailgate," according to the popular Southern Living magazine.
This is the second time the publication is hosting the competition and they have just released their top 15 schools.

Also on the list -- the University of Texas, University of Alabama, Texas A&M and more.
Schools were chosen on the basis of spirit, game-day rituals, win history and other factors.
People can vote once a day online or on their smartphones until Sept. 30th.

|Heart disease claims a life every 39 seconds
|Friday, February 07, 2014 9:36 PM
Staff Writer
DELPHOS — Heart disease is the No. 1 cause of death in the U. S. for both men and women. The American Heart Association (AHA) reports 2,200 Americans die of cardiovascular disease each day, an average of one death every 39 seconds. February marks American Heart Month and health professionals are encouraging each and every person to do a little something more for themselves to improve their heart health.
Allen County Department of Health's Director of Nursing Becky Dershem said American Heart Month is a great way to raise awareness and it's really important for people to exercise the changes they make now 365 days a year.
"The key is, people may feel like they can't do it all," Dershem explained. "The changes can be made in baby steps and they don't have to do everything in one week. They can work toward a goal."
The most common type of heart disease in the United States is coronary artery disease (CAD), which results from a process known as atherosclerosis or hardening of the arteries. The condition is caused by fatty deposits (plaques) of cholesterol building up in the inner linings of the heart's arteries. The plaque blocks arteries, prevents oxygen-rich blood from reaching the heart and can cause heart attacks, angina, heart failure and arrhythmias.
A heart attack or myocardial infarction (MI) occurs when the blood flow that brings oxygen to the heart is severely reduced or cut off completely by a buildup of plaque. When a plaque in a heart artery breaks, a blood clot forms around the plaque and can block the blood flow through the heart muscle, which starves the heart for oxygen and causes damage or death to parts of the heart. The AHA reports that almost every 34 seconds, someone in the United States has a myocardial infarction.
The five major symptoms of a heart attack include; pain or discomfort in the jaw, neck or back; feeling weak, light-headed or faint; chest pain or discomfort; pain or discomfort in arms or shoulder; and shortness of breath.
Some health conditions and lifestyle factors can put people at a higher risk for developing heart disease. People can prevent heart disease by making healthy choices and managing any medical conditions they may have.
Start by eating a heart-healthy diet rich in vegetables, fruits, fiber-rich whole grains, lean meats and poultry, fish at least twice a week and fat-free or 1 percent dairy products — low in saturated and trans fats, cholesterol, sodium and added sugars — is a way to help cholesterol levels. Get moving for at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic physical activity for a total of at least 150 minutes per week. Avoid tobacco smoke.
"People can walk a few more steps each day and add more fruits and vegetables to their diets," Dershem explained. "Just adding a few more fruits to the diet and making small changes which people continue with, will make a difference."
By adopting a heart-healthy lifestyle, people can prevent and/or manage High Blood Pressure (HBP) — the "silent killer — which is a misunderstood medical condition. Of all people with high blood pressure, over 20 percent are unaware of their condition. The AHA recommendation for healthy blood pressure is a systolic measure of 120 or less and a diastolic reading of 80 or less. By keeping blood pressures in the healthy range, people are:
• Reducing the risk of the walls of blood vessels walls becoming overstretched and injured;
• Reducing the risk of having a heart attack or stroke; and developing heart failure, kidney failure and peripheral vascular disease; and
• Protecting the entire body so that tissues receive regular supplies of blood rich in the oxygen it needs.
Cholesterol, another factor in heart health, is created and used by the human body to keep people healthy. Seventy-five percent of cholesterol in the human body is produced by the liver and the remaining 25 percent comes from the foods — animal products — humans ingest.
There are two types of cholesterol; High-density lipoproteins (HDL), which are "good"; and low-density lipoproteins (LDL), which are "bad." HDL cholesterol helps keep the LDL cholesterol from lodging in the artery walls. A healthy level of HDL may also protect against heart attack and stroke, while low levels of HDL (less than 40 mg/dL for men and less than 50 mg/dL for women) have been shown to increase the risk of heart disease. The lower the LDL cholesterol number, the lower the risk and experts recommend an optimal level of 100 mg/dL.
"People need to get enough rest and activity," Dershem explained. "All of us have improvements we can make and we should be able to encourage each other through groups and work together to accomplish the same things instead of drifting alone."
Weight management is an additional element to consider in the realm of heart disease. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that more than one-third of U.S. adults (35.7 percent) are obese. Better nutrition, controlling calorie intake and an increase in physical activity are the only way to maintain a healthy weight. Obesity places people at risk for high cholesterol, high blood pressure and insulin resistance, a precursor of type 2 diabetes — the very factors that heighten the risk of cardiovascular disease.
Scientists have noted a relationship between coronary heart disease risk and stress in a person's life, which may affect the risk factors for heart disease and stroke. Stress is a response to change and a person's body reacts to stress by releasing adrenaline which causes their breathing and heart rate to speed up and blood pressure to rise. When stress is constant and the body remains in high gear, off and on for days or weeks at a time, that is when it becomes a problem and may cause an increase in heart rate and blood pressure.
The key is to manage stress properly, which affects people in a variety of ways. Stress can cause physical and emotional signs and includes: feelings of anger, fear, excitement or helplessness; make it hard to sleep; cause aches in the head, neck, jaw and back; and can lead to habits like smoking, drinking, overeating or drug abuse. In addition, people may not even feel it at all, even though their bodies suffer from it.

All About the Dude in First Trailer and Poster for 'Seventh Son'
- Written by Jeremy Shane on Thursday, July 11 2013 and posted in News with Benefits
Source: YouTube
Proving you don't need a scottish accent to make talking like you have a mouth full of cotton balls popular, Jeff Bridges takes the lead in the movie adaptation of Jospeh Delaney's novel The Spook's Apprentice. Unlike many of the teen novels being turned into movies today, the 'apprentice,' Tom Ward, was aged up into a more mature role with Ben Barnes cast.
As CGI heavy as this trailer is, the movie still looks pretty good and Julianne Moore never hurts a movie either. Plus, I think putting Jeff Bridges in a role like this makes the movie much more interesting. If you don't...

Our Science – Wiltrout Website
Robert H. Wiltrout, Ph.D.
Dr. Wiltrout is the holder of six patents in the area of immune response and hematopoietic regulation. He has been an organizer and/or plenary speaker at numerous national and international symposia in the areas of biological therapy of cancer, the regulation of immune responses in the tumor microenvironment, and mouse models of liver cancer. He is the author of more than 200 scientific publications in the areas of innate immunity, inflammation and cancer immunotherapy.
Inflammation and Experimental Immunotherapy for Kidney and Liver Cancers in the Mouse Models
The mechanisms by which the immune system can contribute to promotion or inhibition of cancers in vivo are complex and incompletely understood. Successful induction of cytokine-induced tumor regression depends on a complex interplay between critical elements of the innate immune system (dendritic cells and NK or NKT cells) and classical elements of the adaptive immune response such as CD4+ or CD8+ T cells, and the ability to mitigate the immunosuppressive effects of T regulatory (Tregs), myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC), and their active mediators. In particular, successfully engaged innate mechanisms may trigger inflammatory events in the tumor microenvironment that, in turn, minimize the effects of Tregs and MDSC, resulting in overall instructive signals for the development of beneficial adaptive responses. In this regard, we have focused our efforts on 1) the immune-regulating and cancer therapeutic potential of IL-12 and IL-18, and the role of IFN-gamma in the innate and adaptive immune response; 2) approaches for coordinating the beneficial effects of innate and adaptive responses with a mitigation of Treg and MDSC-mediated inhibitory effects via stimulation of the CD40 receptor on antigen presenting cells in concert with IL-2 or IL-15 treatment; and 3) understanding unique microenvironmental dynamics and influences in the lungs and liver as models for organ-specific immunotherapy.
We have also used Sleeping Beauty-mediated, in vivo genetic modification of hepatocytes with dysregulated AKT, MET, and beta-catenin genes to develop several reproducible, clinically-relevant, subtype-specific models of oncogene-initiated liver cancers and are using them to explore the intersection between oncogenesis and pathways of inflammation. Our current effort is focused on the role of TNF-family members in the development and progression of oncogene-initiated liver cancers. In particular, we are investigating the role of activation through the lymphotoxin beta receptor (LTbetaR) on the biology of both hepatocellular adenomas and carcinomas, as well as the development of cholangiocarcinomas. Our current studies are focused on the downstream molecular signaling pathways and immune perturbations associated with the LTbetaR-dependent events and possible ways to modify liver tumor outcome through targeting of the LTbetaR.
The overall goal of our studies is to provide new insights into complex immune interactions in vivo and develop preclinical approaches for the use of immunotherapy, alone and in combination with other molecularly targeted strategies, for translation to clinical trials in cancer patients.

The Pacificus–Helvidius Debates of 1793–1794 matched Hamilton and Madison in the first chapter of an enduring discussion about the proper roles of the executive and legislative branches in the conduct of American foreign policy. Ignited by President Washington's Neutrality Proclamation of 1793, the debate addressed whether Washington had the authority to declare America neutral, despite an early alliance treaty with France. Hamilton argued that Washington's actions were constitutional and that friction between the two branches was an unavoidable, but not harmful, consequence of the separation of powers. Madison countered that Washington's proclamation would introduce "new principles and new constructions" into the Constitution. While the Pacificus-Helvidius debates did not resolve this ongoing constitutional controversy, they did define the grounds upon which this question was to be examined, to this very day.

TUCSON, AZ (TNN) – Blocked streets, helicopters, and SWAT teams all made up the scene of the search for a gunman near 29th Street and Alvernon. Residents were turned away from the neighborhood Wednesday evening.
"My daughter and mother are back there and I thought they would let me through," said resident Nanci Orris.
"Absolutely, I'd like to get home and just make sure everything's okay," said James Jacques, who said that his wife called Tucson Police. "Everything's good. (But it's) never a good call to hear that there's gunshots at your house, not towards your house."
Jacques said that she had been keeping their two pit bulls from running into the house before she went outside to change some laundry in the machine. That's when he said that she heard shots and brought their girls inside.
"The police officer told me that when they came to my house to respond that they actually heard gunshots toward them and that's what brought the whole fleet here," he said. "She's seen the guys in army fatigues with riot shields walking down the alleys and her father-in-law lives behind us and they searched his house, so they're doing door to door searches on people's houses."
Police responded to the shots about 4 p.m. and re-opened the neighborhood about 8 p.m. No arrests had been made.

By Valerie firstname.lastname@example.com Henry County leaders have scheduled five town hall meetings in March on property tax assessments. Because of the economic downturn, homeowners who received tax bills may have questions about those bills, said Henry County Board of Assessors Chief Appraiser Kenneth Voss. "This office is sensitive to the needs and concerns of the citizens during these difficult economic times, and we want to take a more proactive approach," Voss said in a prepared statement. The meetings will begin with an update by Henry commissioners on county projects in their districts. Following the commissioners' updates, the chief appraiser will give a presentation on property assessments in Henry County. During his presentation, he will explain the property assessment process and the laws guiding the process. "We want citizens to know who we are, and ensure that they understand the process," Voss said. Each meeting will include a question-and-answer period to address residents' concerns. The district-specific projects will be updates on various Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax projects, said District I Commissioner Warren Holder. Some of the projects in Holder's district include paving South Bethany Road, Collins Way, Collins Drive, and Mackey and Stallsworth roads, which are currently dirt roads. Another project in his district is intersection improvement work at King Mill Road and Ga. Highway 42. The intersection improvements for Keys Ferry Street and Ga. Highway 81, and for Ga. 81 and Bethany Road, are joint projects between Districts I and III, Holder said. Holder is not sure what to expect from the meetings, because no one has contacted him with specific concerns. "I'm going to be prepared to answer anything I can," he said. "I don't know what the real concerns are at this point. I'll try to field any questions I can." The District I meeting will be March 9 at 7 p.m., in the community room of the Henry County Administration Building, 140 Henry Parkway, McDonough. The meeting will be aired live on Henry TV14. It will be rebroadcast on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays at 11 a.m., 4 p.m., and 9 p.m., through March 31. It will also be available for viewing on demand on the county web site during the same time period The District IV meeting will be March 10 at 7: 30 p.m., at the Merle Manders Conference Center, 111 Davis Road in Stockbridge. The District V meeting is March 12 at 7 p.m., at the Fairview Public Library, 28 Austin Road, Stockbridge. The District II meeting is March 19 at 7 p.m., at the Hampton Depot on East Main Street in Hampton. The District III meeting is March 23 at 6:30 p.m., at McDonough Elementary School, 330 Tomlinson Street in McDonough. - On the net: Henry County Board of Commissioners: www.co.henry.ga.us

Palermo are looking for their second smash hit, but Genoa plan on making them one hit wonders. Gian Piero Gasperini brings his rejuvenated side back to his former Marassi stomping ground - where he spent four successful years, with fans still buzzing over last week's 4-1 demolition of Chievo Verona.
Genoa will provide more stubborn resistance than the hapless Flying Donkeys, as the Grifone are unbeaten in their last three games. Genoa knocked Lazio off their perch earlier in the season and are more than capable of bringing Palermo back down to earth with a bump.
Despite their morale boosting victory last week, Palermo still hover above the relegation zone and have lost all their away games so far. Cesare Bovo is expected to line up against his former club. The defender, now in his second stint at Genoa has pinpointed Fabrizio Miccoli as the dangerman.
The Pocket Rocket and hat-trick hero was only making his first start under Gasperini last week, but should be a guaranteed starter here.
Recent history definitely favours the home team in this fixture. Genoa have racked up two wins and two clean sheets. Palermo will be hoping they still have some goals in their locker as they look to move up the table.

For nearly two decades Avera McKennan has been giving patients a second chance at life through organ donations and transplants. On Tuesday afternoon the hospital surpassed a major milestone in regards to transplant patient care.
Five years ago Joyce Meland got the worst news from her doctor, a diagnosis of large cell lymphoma. With extensive treatment Joyce was able to hold the cancer off until this recent relapse.
"It numbs you, I usually bring my husband along because he hears what they're saying and I stop on the word cancer." Said Meland.
Joyce's cancer may have come back but she is ready to fight. She's at Avera McKennan for round one, a bone marrow transplant.
"It's the cure, and I have grandchildren I want to see what they do and be with them." Said Meland.
Joyce's transplant is called an autologous stem cell transplantation. This is where doctors collect her own bone marrow stem cells and freeze them, then put Joyce through an intense week of chemotherapy
"I feel good, I haven't had a sick day." Said Meland
After a day of rest Dr. Ahmed Galal, an Avera hematologist, is ready to transplant her healthy stem cells back into Joyce's blood stream.
"The merit here for doing a transplant is to deliver a high dose of chemotherapy to try and treat this lymphoma and cure it and basically rescue the person with their own stem cells so they grow back themselves and have their normal cells back to function." Said Dr. Galal.
By using Joyce's own stem cells there is a higher chance of eliminating her cancer for good.
"I just think this is a blessing from God and it's taught me to look at other things instead of material things." Said Meland.
Even given her age, Dr. Galal says Joyce is a perfect transplant candidate. With her family and friends showering her with support, Dr. Galal is even more optimistic about the procedure's success.
"This is one of the major requirements of transplant for success to have a support system with family or friends even people from the hospital and I have to admit at Avera we do a great job of supporting our patients." Said Dr. Galal.
Not only is this another chance at a cancer-free life, but Joyce's procedure is also a milestone. She is the 1000th transplant patient at Avera McKennan hospital.
"It was a surprise and everyone is excited about it and they do such a great job I can understand why 1000 people have been done already." Said Meland.
The hospital's first transplant was a kidney back in 1993, since then 605 kidneys have been transplanted. 32 pancreatic transplants have been done and Joyce makes the 363rd bone marrow transplant in the hospital's history.
Like any job working in a hospital can become routine. But for Dr. Galal, each one of these procedures is a tremendous gift.
"Every transplant is a special story and special feeling and I don't think you ever get bored living this moment and I enjoy doing this business." Said Dr. Galal.
As technology makes transplants more effective and cancer more curable, doctors and staff at Avera McKennan will continue to offer the best support and care for the next thousand transplants and every one after that.
Dr. Galal says Joyce's prognosis is looking very good, but expects her to be at the hospital for 2-3 more weeks. If all goes well, Joyce will be able to do her follow-ups at the clinic and not have to do more treatment.

ExtGps application on Symbian Belle Nokia C7 and Windows 7 (64 bit and 32 bit starter).
The Serial port service is not discoverable on this device on Windows 7. I connected OK with USB cable and think the idea is good. Anyone that have solved this or know what the problem is in Windows and why this is not supported. (I have another similar developer debug agent installed and this is discoverable in Win 7).
10-05-2012 16:56
Don't think that you will have much success with Windows 7but you might like to look at this thread:/t5/Maps-Navigation-and-GPS/Anyone-got-ExtGPS-work
Happy to have helped forum with a Support Ratio = 42.5
10-05-2012 21:51 - edited 10-05-2012 21:52
ExtGPS has been updated since that thread and is now available in the Nokia Store as a released version and is said to be compatible with the C7. At that time it only supported bluetooth connectivity which was problematical with Windows 7 64 bit on some (maybe all) Nokia phones.
In the released version USB connectivity has been added and that works fine with Windows 7 32 bit and 64 bit on an N8 and I suspect all other Symbian phones as well, but one may find that bluetooth still does not work.
Maybe the OP is using the old beta version or if using the released version from the Store has not tried USB.
11-05-2012 20:00
It works OK on Nokia C7 Belle. (As the application starts). But the service is not discoverable via Bluetooth from the PC. It connects OK with USB, tried Google Earth OK with USB.
It does not show up on PC, the Service on BT, on either 32 or 64 bit Win 7 otherwise I think the application idea is very good and it would be that hard to fix this, but the error might be on the BT stack of couse in Broadcom or Microsoft.
11-05-2012 22:55 - edited 11-05-2012 22:56
I should have read your original post more carefully as I now see you did mention you had used USB - so when I replied I was not sure if you meant the bluetooth service or that which creates the virtual USB COM port.
I have also had a very quick play with an N8 (Anna) trying to get ExtGPS bluetooth working on an XP virtual machine (using VMware Player) on Win 7 64 bit PC as well but again did not work even though it does on an XP PC. But that may just be a limit of Player's support of bluetooth. USB did work on that too though.

|September 28, 2011
Tell-Tale Hearts is the second episode of the twelfth season of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.
As the CSI's investigate a mass murder in a sustainable living community, three people admit to committing the murders.
The Chambliss family is found murdered in their home. There is a lot of blood. Catherine and D.B. follow a blood trial to John Lee's house, Fiona's lover. He confesses to the murders. However, a woman named Leslie Gitig says she did it. She says to Ecklie and Brass that she and Calvin Chambliss were having an affair. He eventually stopped seeing her. She says how she killed each member of the Chambliss family.
The team retrieves a gun found in a water pond at a golf course. The bullet they find does not match a bullet at the crime scene. Catherine and Russell show Leslie's picture to John, and he says she drives a Three Series Red BMW and would park outside the house and sit there. He says she's an awful woman.
Sanders, Morgan, and Sara find drugs in a fake electric panel in Fiona's bedroom. They find prints on the cash and drugs that has a match to Lonny Gallows, who has been arrested for drug possession. They go arrest Lonny, but his father, Maurice Gallows, says he killed the Chambliss family himself. He says to Brass and Nick at the Lab that his son had gotten clean in rehab, and he tried to keep him clean by putting him on his construction crew, building greenhouses in the Chambliss's neighborhood. He met Cal and got him interested in drugs again.
Brass then reports that due to Mr. Gallows's confession, Leslie is out of jail and John Lee is out on bail. Russell says that the three confessions were all the same. Each of those people had motive to do harm to someone in the Chambliss family. Maurice hated Cal for getting his son into drugs again. Leslie hated Susan Chambliss for taking Cal away from her. John wanted Fiona.
Catherine then finds out that John had repaired Leslie's car after a car accident. The driver of the truck she hit turns to be Maurice Gallow's truck. Nick saw some $1,000 worth of damage to Gallows' truck. Nick takes the truck while Catherine and Sanders look at Leslie's car, and Greg sees left-side damage to it. They hear gunshots. They see Leslie Giting has been shot twice. Catherine finds John. He tells her that Leslie made him go there that night. She said that John could have Fiona, but she did not tell John that they had to kill her. John heard the screaming start, he heard the shooting, and it was so loud and there was so much blood.
John says that Leslie said that Fiona had to die. She gave John her gun. John just couldn't do it. Leslie took her gun and shot Fiona in the head. John then came back and redressed her and tucked in her bed. John then shoots himself. The team finds the real knife and gun at Leslie's place. Maurice then says he did everything he could to get Lonny to stay out of drugs and it was working. Then, he met Cal,and Maurice was losing Lonny again. Leslie swore to Maurice that Cal would die. She lied. She began to stab Grandma. He had no choice but to kill Cal. Leslie then stabbed Susan and pushed her into the shower and hit her with the towel bar. John then went for Fiona. Leslie then shot Fiona while Maurice watched it happen.
- The title of the episode comes from an Edgar Allen Poe short story entitled "The Tell-Tale Heart".

of Freedom of Speech
Does the First Amendment mean anyone can
say anything at any time? No.
The Supreme Court has rejected an interpretation
of speech without limits.
the First Amendment has such strong language, we begin with the
presumption that speech is protected. Over the years, the courts
have decided that a few other public interests for example, national
security, justice or personal safety override freedom of speech.
There are no simple rules for determining when speech should be
limited, but there are some general tests that help.
and Present Danger
this act of speech create a dangerous situation? The First Amendment
does not protect statements that are uttered to provoke violence
or incite illegal action.
Holmes, speaking for the unanimous Supreme Court, stated, The question
in every case is whether the words used are used in such circumstances
and are of such a nature as to create a clear and present danger
that they will bring about the substantive evils that Congress has
a right to prevent.
something said face-to-face that would incite immediate violence?
Chaplinsky v. New Hampshire, the Supreme Court stated that
the English language has a number of words and expressions which
by general consent [are] fighting words when said without a disarming
Such words, as ordinary men know, are likely to cause a
fight. The court determined that the New Hampshire statute in question
did no more than prohibit the face-to-face words plainly likely
to cause a breach of the peace by the addressee, words whose speaking
constitute a breach of the peace by the speaker including classical
fighting words, words in current use less classical but equally
likely to cause violence, and other disorderly words, including
profanity, obscenity and threats. Jurisdictions may write statutes
to punish verbal acts if the statutes are carefully drawn so as
not unduly to impair liberty of expression.
see What
is the Fighting Words Doctrine?
and Slander
the statement false, or put in a context that makes true statements
misleading? You do not have a constitutional right to tell lies
that damage or defame the reputation of a person or organization.
June 1973 in Miller v. California, the Supreme Court held
in a 5-to-4 decision that obscene materials do not enjoy First Amendment
Miller v. California (1973), the court refined the definition
of obscenity established in Roth v. United States (1957).
It also rejected the utterly without redeeming social value test
of Memoirs v. Massachusetts.
the three-part Miller test, three questions must receive affirmative
responses for material to be considered obscene:
One must distinguish
obscene material, speech not protected by the First Amendment,
from indecent material, speech protected for adults but not for
children. The Supreme Court also ruled that higher standards may
be established to protect minors from exposure to indecent material
over the airwaves. In FCC
v. Pacifica Foundation the court recognized an interest
in protecting minors from exposure to vulgar and offensive spoken
with Other Legitimate Social or Governmental Interests
the speech conflict with other compelling interests? For example,
in times of war, there may be reasons to restrict First Amendment
rights because of conflicts with national security.
ensure a fair trial without disclosure of prejudicial information
before or during a trial, a judge may place a gag order on participants
in the trial, including attorneys. Placing prior restraint upon
the media usually is unconstitutional. In Nebraska
Press Association v. Stuart (1976), the
Supreme Court established three criteria that must be met before
a judge can issue a gag order and restrain the media during a trial.
Place, and Manner
regulations of expression are content-neutral. A question to ask:
Did the expression occur at a time or place, or did the speaker
use a method of communicating, that interferes with a legitimate
government interest? For example, distribution of information should
not impede the flow of traffic or create excessive noise levels
at certain times and in certain places.

Education is considered the most important part ofa young person's life. Education leads to a good job and countless luxuries. Theschool systems of the United States have curricula students must"learn" in order to be promoted to higher grades. Academic success is amust to become productive in the economy and in life. Students today face muchlarger problems than were faced by our teachers, most of whom are over the age of50 and have been living in the suburbs all their lives.
I am black andlive in the most crime-infested section of my city. On my block, crackheads roamthe streets attempting to sell telephones, TVs and VCRs in order to buy some"rocks." The most frequently asked question is, "Yo, you gottrees?" which is asking if you have marijuana to sell. I have cornrows anddress "urban," so the stereotype is automatically set. People assumeI'm a drug dealer, and when a police car drives by, the cop watches me like ahawk with his eyes on his prey.
When I go to school I feel like I'm in asafe environment; there are no real rivalries or "beefs" between blacksand whites. But the gap of social acceptance is much greater than we might think.My peers and I are not taught how to live in unity or not to stereotype others.
The school doesn't teach the white kids that every black kid you seewith cornrows and baggy clothing is not a drug dealer. It doesn't teach thatevery person is equal in our society.
The school doesn't teach the blackkids that you can make something of yourself by being something other than a drugdealer, being on TV or doing something that involves sports. They don't teach usto see ourselves not as a minority but as equals.
Most of my life I wastaught that if you do not dress, talk or act a certain way, you cannot maintain anormal status in society. The ironic thing is that the way people expect you toact, talk and dress is similar to that of white people, which is something Idon't understand. Sometimes I wonder why my intelligence is judged based on myclothing, hairstyle and skin color. Most people say this is not true, butevidently it is.
We as teens have succumbed to these stereotypes becausewe are not taught differently. America thinks that teaching us the periodic tableof elements and how to bisect angles and other information that we will probablynever use is more important. Probably 20 years from now things will not havechanged, but I'm hoping this one opinion of a 16-year-old high school student canchange the lives of future children going through this school system.
Mydream is similar to Martin Luther King, Jr.'s, but is the modern version whereall people would be judged by intelligence and not looks, skin color or otherridiculous stereotypes. Education should be more than just books, homework andtests.

A Park Ridge man who threw his frail, elderly mother over a stair railing in a dispute over his inheritance was sentenced to 40 years in prison Thursday, the Chicago Sun-Times is reporting.
Cook County Judge William Lacy noted that even as 77-year-old Gloria Weinke lay on the floor, crying for help after the fall, Wayne Weinke Jr. did nothing to help her. She died nearly three months later, partly because Wayne Weinke went "ballistic" believing he'd been cheated out of the wealth he felt he deserved, prosecutors said at trial.
In hopes of getting a shorter sentence, defense attorneys submitted letters portraying Wayne Weinke as a good friend and husband, the kind of guy who could watch Blackhawks games with.
"These are admirable qualities, but they are not a defense of murder," Lacy said.
Wayne Weinke did not speak at the hearing.
Last May, Lacy rejected Wayne Weinke's claim that he had nothing to do with his mother's death — that he hadn't even visited her Arlington Heights duplex on July 18, 2006, the day he is accused of pushing her down the stairs.
Most damning, Lacy said, was the videotape deposition Gloria Weinke made, in which she fingered her son.
Weinke not only threw his mother over the railing, but then left her to suffer alone. It would be another 14 hours before officials at the Moorings retirement home found her.
It was a case that bitterly divided a family. Dozens of family members crammed into Lacy's courtroom each day, supporting the accused — a middle-aged businessman, father of two grown children and a devout Lutheran. During three hours of testimony last year, Weinke denied murdering his mother. He admitted on the stand, though, that he had argued with her about the family's assets.
But when Wayne Weinke was found guilty, his sister, Gail Deadwyler, said he'd got what he deserved. Deadwyler is the same woman her brother described as "freeloading." Weinke has accused his sister of helping brainwash the late Weinke patriarch into changing his trust and leaving the $1 million plus Chicago-based property to the family's construction supply company to Deadwyler instead of splitting it between the three siblings as he had originally intended.
As Lacy handed down his sentence Thursday, Deadwyler pressed her lips together and nodded.

After struggling through the first two episodes of Marvel's "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.," I made it to the third and was hoping for something better than the first two episodes.
Didn't happen. And how the show started off didn't set a great tone.
Not as bad as episode 2, but not as good as the pilot, "The Asset" left me underwhelmed. But I'm not here to talk about how disappointing "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." is so far, this is about sweat stains.
Moving, disappearing, and re-appearing sweat stains. This isn't a new phenomenon in film or TV. There are many takes to a scene, and sometimes getting continuity right between shots doesn't always happen, and it doesn't happen here.
An early scene in "The Asset" is the newest example of a continuity fail. In the scene where S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Grant (Brett Dalton) is playfully sparring with Skye (Chloe Bennet), showing her the ropes, there are multiple cuts throughout the conversation.
Watch Grant's shirt. These are in sequence.

And in motion ...
The immediate next shot Grant is back to his original sweating ways.
Not even 10 minutes into the show, I'm completely taken out of it.
