Harper's is a monster brew pub in the heart of East Lansing. Inside the atmosphere is somewhat in-between upscale and college with the brewing equipment on display next to the huge bar and copious seating.
In terms of quality, I rate them average in terms of brewpubs. I find that most brewpubs "brew down" to their expected clientele, and this is the case here, which negatively impacts the selection...they have 6 taps of their own beer, but the selection is heavily tilted toward quaffers. Usually there will be a seasonal beer that is decent, but the normal offerings are, frankly, dull. Basically, there might be one interesting beer here, thus, bad rating on selection.
Service is erratic here, ranging from average at best to really, really bad. The most entertaining example (in hindsight) is one time where I went there while the place was completely empty to get a growler fill. I stood at the bar, staring at the bartender and the various servers who wandered past, and none of them said a word to me for several minutes. At other times, I've received what I would call "normal" service in similar circumstances, but nothing exceptional. It averages out to 2.0 I guess, I've never had anything beyond what I would call average service here and on the wrong night it's as bad as you can get without an openly abrasive server.
The bottom line: Harper's is big and flashy, but the overall place is only so-so. It's one of the only places (the only place?) in Lansing to get growler fills, so I occasionally stop by, but the place is clearly brewing for a non-beer geek audience, and I prefer to spend my "quality bar time" down the street at Crunchy's.

We were looking for a place to meet up with an old college friend and picked this as the only brewpub in town. I was surprised to find out it was in the old Dooley's building that I spent a lot of time in a a student long ago.
We were there Friday around 5:00 Pm and while I know it's summer in a college town, it was really dead. I tried the maibock and the wheat and both were decent, but nothing I'd seek out. My wife tried the pale ale it was okay. I had a tuna sub and it was nicely spiced and tasty. My wife ordered the burger with the pickled hops but just got a regular cheeseburger. Service was a bit slow, especially considering how dead it was.
While I wouldn't avoid the place I probably wouldn't suggest it either.

I find myself surprised with the other reviews that I see here. My guess is that people don't understand that if you go into the downtown of a college town you will find college bars, even if they are brewpubs. I find the atmosphere great for a college bar and loved how it was smoke-free before the rest of Michigan. Their brews are usually pretty good, though some are not the greatest, but you can never go wrong with the Grove Street or Spartan Wheat. Wednesday is definitely the day to go with half off basically everything. I find the food pretty good for a bar also, though didn't rate it as I have not had enough of it to know well.
The one negative thing I can say about Harper's is that the service is terrible any time that they are somewhat busy, but that just means to buy pitchers instead of pints or just go straight to the bar, same as most college bars.
So to conclude if you want a college bar that is a brewpub, Harper's is perfect, but don't go if you arn't ready for a bar with lots of college kids, drinking, and a DJ or live music that is often loud.

Walking up to Harper's I feel a swell of hope rising in my chest despite the awful reviews I have read from fellow beer connoisseurs. A wide stairway of stone steps leads to two gigantic wooden doors below a large, colorful sign on a gorgeous brick building featuring gigantic half-moon windows. Unfortunately, the reviews would prove to be correct.
This place has so much potential, but it wastes it catering to the college party crowd.
As I open the door and step into Harper's I'm immediately blasted by the sound of a DJ pumping up a small crowed of drunk co-eds. Putting this setback aside, I survey the place. It's dimly lit with two sets of brewing equipment shining proudly; one towards the back and one off to the right behind glass walls. Most of the place features beautiful, light woodwork and dark bricks. There are plenty of tables, televisions and space. An oddly-shaped yet gorgeous circular bar sits in the center and is lit by Christmas lights hanging overhead. A giant semi-private room sits to the right. It looks like a great party room. Picture frames hang from the ceilings and wall with objects inside rather than pictures.
Overall, I love the feel and décor of the place. I hate the loudness, dirtiness, stickiness and the feeling of low class it exudes.
Believe it or not, the food is damn good. It was half-price pizza night so I ordered what sounded like a delicious combination of spinach, goat cheese, pine nuts, red onion and feta cheese on top of a pesto sauce. It comes out not quite sliced all the way through, but absolutely delicious. The crust is crispy on the bottom and chewy in the middle, and quite flavorful on its own. Some of the best bar pizza I've ever had.
The beer, however, greatly disappoints. I order a sampler of their six beers which comes out in a weird assortment of misshapen PLASTIC glasses of roughly four ounces each. These are like small wine or champagne glasses. Weird.
Harpers ale looks like Bud. Dry. It is not sweet, which is surprising. Low hops with no citrus notes. It is very close to a German pilsner but seems to be missing German malts or maybe German hops, which give good pilsners that distinctive taste.
Spartan Wheat has but one note - sweet. It lacks any true citrus flavor and is low on hops. Okay fine, on a second taste, it has a single orange note as well. But it's terrible.
Raspberry Wheat takes the original terrible Spartan Wheat and adds way too much fruit concentrate, serving only to make a bad beer undrinkable.
The Pale Ale is actually not too bad. Though the board says it is malty, it really isn't, though compared to the rest of their beers I guess it is. It is again a little low on hops. There is not much bitterness though it does have some floral notes. So far, it is the only beer I'd order a pint of.
The Brown starts promising, full of nutty goodness, but soon fades as the brew is thin and without depth. It is the best so far, but still not up to par.
The Stout is the best of the bunch simply because it is nearly impossible to make a non-malty, flavorless stout. There is enough of dark, malty goodness here to qualify it as drinkable, though it still does not linger on the palette for any respectable period of time.
The service wasn't bad. I was often checked on even though it was late and the kitchen was nearly closed.
All in all, this place could be so much more if it would just aim higher. The location is prime. The building is beautiful. Even the décor is great. But it tries to be a club. It produces cheap, thin beer so that college kids can drink plenty of it without filling their belly or emptying their wallet. The one saving grace - besides the building - is the food. It is definitely worth a stop for some top-notch bar grub.

While attending MSU I frequented Harpers for their half-off Wednesdays which were quite handy for a poor college student. This was my first trip back since I graduated.
The exterior is interesting with a nice view into the brewhouse as well as several outdoor seating options. The sign could use some updating as well as the paint. Upon entering there is an evident stench of old beer (and broken morals), undoubtedly spilled by the countless drunks the night before. There is a crowded feel to the main room with as many tables packed around a circular bar in the center as possible. They've even installed a second tap-area in the back corner since the last time I visited. Given the nice weather and foul stench, my group opted to sit outside.
The servers were friendly and mostly attentive, although my water glass was not refilled throughout the course of drinks and my meal. I purchased a flight and their so-called "Peppered burger," a burger topped with bleu cheese and pickled hops, the key to my selection. The flight, annoyingly brought in large white wine glasses, consisted of an American adjunct ale (Harpers Ale) clearly designed for the BMC crowd as it resembled Budweiser, their infamous Spartan Wheat, a Raspberry Wheat, a pale ale which had little balance and no maltiness as advertised, a seasonal Maibock, and what was claimed to be a milk stout. Not sure who was wrong, the brewer or the server, but that was no milk stout. Roasted malt bitterness was the prime character with little to no sweetness. The Maibock was honestly the only respectable beer had.
As for the food, my burger arrived topped with blue cheese but no pickled hops. After informing the server, I was told "Oh, I'm sorry we don't have anymore," and she quickly scurried off as if I was supposed to know this. I begrudgingly finished the burger sans hops, which all-in-all was fine but not what I ordered. I requested to speak to a manager as we left and after waiting for 3-4 minutes before he emerged I simply stated why I had ordered the burger, the waitresses indifference to my complaint, and that it should not be advertised as such if still being served. I was given a quick "Thank you for bringing this to my attention" as I walked out the door. Where's Gordon Ramsay when you need him? Some places just don't get it.
Harper's has great potential but all in all, they're out to make money and exploit the mind-less mass of students who don't care what goes in them, just as long as it get's 'em drunk. The beer is lack-luster as is the food. With a little more attention to detail Harper's could be a great local spot to be proud of. Instead, it's a place increasingly known for its mediocrity and a place I will never go again.

Definitely a college bar first and brewpub second. The beer that I have had here is decent, nothing really has ever stood out. It seems to be made for the college kids. It is a nice place with ok service. I can't ever remember getting food here, but the times I have come, it was toward the end of the night, after drinking for quite awhile. This is not my type of bar, as I like laid back places, with real good selections. But if you like the college scene and decent beer, it is not a bad choice. I would go to Crunchy's or Dusty's first if I had to choose.

I've lived in the relative area of this place for a long time but never realized it was a brewpub (not just a bar/restaurant) until now so I finally checked it out.
Place looked very nice outside and in--very new, clean, with brewing equipment on display inside. Very spacious inside also. I went when it wasn't busy at all so it was no problem finding a seat.
I only came to check out their homebrew selection and to catch up with some old friends. The selection seemed interesting but less dark beers than I had hoped for. I tried their Pale ale and was pretty pleased with it.
However, the service was horrible--especially for not even being busy at all. It took a long time for my party to place an order and then to actually receive the drinks. When mine came, it wasn't even what I ordered (it was some fruity beer that I had no interest in whatsoever). So once I finally got the beverage I wanted it was quite good.
The prices were really good, I had happened to come (unknowingly) on a day where all drinks were half off. So my pint of the good stuff was only $1.50. What a night to be the DD, right? So the cheap prices may have been partly to blame for the bad service, but not from what I've heard from others.
The atmosphere was nice, however it quickly go way too loud inside. Now, this place is a Restaurant and pub, so I was expecting to be able to converse and actually hear the other people that I came with, but no. A band started to play and they were so loud that I couldn't continue a conversation with my friend next to me. So we decided to then exit.
So all in all, Harper's has definite potential with their nice facility, seemingly quality brews (if there's a next time I'll have to try the food), and low prices. However, the service and volume made it unpleasant enough that I may take my time revisiting.

Harper's is a different brewpub than any other I've patronized. The atmosphere changes on a nightly basis. I've been there when it's been dead and when it's been packed to the gills with a long line out the door.
The beer there is so-so. I wasn't too impressed with anything they have to offer, but I can see where their clientele of college kids would be blown away.
Their service is lackluster - waitstaff just doesn't seem into what they are doing. If you go to the bar you can end up waiting 15 minutes before you get service.
Food wasn't bad. Better than typical bar fare.
If you go on a Wednesday night, everything (food and drinks) is half-off. You can get lots for little money, but you are there with all kinds of MSU students.

Hi - I just wanted to feedback that I really, really struggle to find the forums when I login the the RSPB website. I only find it by accident each time. I wonder if that is why there are so few people who login to the forums. There are only 8 people logged in right now and normally around 10-20 in the evening. That seems really low for the number of people that must use this website.
If there was a link from the home page that would really help access.
Hi Steve
Navigation has always been a major problem with this forum until you get used to it. To help people I did a forum map which is the first thread on the Home page.
It contains a file which if you open it will show a diagram of the forum structure in Adobe Reader. All the links displayed are clickable and will take you to the relevant page.
I hope this helps.
Hi Steve your not the only one to have made the same comment quite a few of us cannot work out why the link for the community is tucked away right down the bottom of the RSPB main page.
What i've done is bookmarked the community homepage and use it for my homepage in Firefox so i don't have to go to the main RSPB website.
Good idea Alan. Should have thought of bookmarking.
Thanks TJ, I actually saw your forum map after I posted and it has helped me navigate now within the Community section. I've now got my head around how the site works but it's a bit complicated as it is difficult to get to the Community section. Bookmarking will solve that. I do think it will hinder people getting involved though. Hopefully someone who maintains the site picks up on that
FuchsiaKing I do think it will hinder people getting involved though. Hopefully someone who maintains the site picks up on that
Don't hold your breath lol
Hi Steve,
TJ and Doggie have each given you the secret to using the forums. You will soon get used to it. We all had the same problems at one time. This website is very illogical and hard to navigate, but once you suss it out, it's the best Community there is!
I have a shortcut on my desktop that takes me straight to the Community Home Page (not the main RSPB home page).
As for the numbers logged in, you can ignore that. The list of those logged in at any one time isn't a complete list. You will often see people posting whose names don't appear. We used to think it only shows those members who are logged in on the same server as yourself, and that whichever server you are logged into is random. However, we were told this isn't the case and that the problem would be sorted. We still await this happening!
EDIT posts crossed. LOL Doggie! As it happens, Steve is showing in my list of those logged on, but Doggie isn't.
Yeah but rememeber i'm always in when i'm out so maybe i'm now out when i'm in.
Thanks for your feedback FuschiaKing, it is important to us. Once you get used to where everything is, it will hopefully be second nature for you, and as you can see if you get lost, there are plenty of people here to help, myself and the other mods included.
Hiya MrsT do you think that is a valid point that Steve makes about the Community link on the main RSPB webpage being tucked away down at the bottom like that.
This is where i would put the link lol
Whilst Communities is important to us, our home page, our shop window if you like, needs to represent the breadth of all of the work that we do. As a conservation organisation it is the ideal place for us to promote all the work that we are involved in, in a balanced and informative way. Do bookmark the Communities page as has been suggested, but do remember to look back at our home page to keep up to date with our work.
I never log out so that when I reach the home page I go to the top right where my name appears and click there which takes me straight to my own page. I have the forums I like listed in my "favourites" and start there.
Hi only just to say i also have problems finding the comments etc and also find them by accident. I have bookmarked website but even this does not take me to where i want to go. Regards
Hi shadylady , if you are still here , click the Community Home tab at the top of this page , then create a new bookmark for that page.
The first post on that page has a link to a map of forums.
Hi Shadylady,
Have you looked at the forum map? If you scroll up this thread and read TeeJay's post, it tells you how to find it. If you use this, you can't go wrong.
EDIT - posts crossed.

The menu is impressive; the
execution, not so much. Why is it that the slower the restaurant, the more inattentive the service? Might the two be connected?"
Dined on 6/24/2014
Our waiter was very patient to
wait for our party to decide our choices. We hadn't seen each other in a while, so food decisions took a little while. The food was excellent. Highly recommend the spinach and also the beet salads. Will be back again."

Much better restaurants in the area. Average at best."

Really lovely food, especially the
pasta and sand dabs. Feels like a Parisian sidewalk cafe."

Located on El Paseo. From the
patio you can watch the people go by on the desert version of Rodeo Drive. The restuarant offers a full bar, good wine list and patio dining. They do pour a good sized drink. It is French cuisine and a very reasonable three course menu. The Coq a Vin is wonderful. There is a also a light cuisine, which works very well in the desert in the summer months. The food was great, and the service wonderful. "
Dined on 6/5/2014
We were sitted at the window and
the customers next to us were too load. The sitting should be properly located in a friendly surrounding. The foods were okay but should have been presented in a nice serving. Specially, when it comes to Restaurant Week. This is our second time in this restaurant. "

We enjoyed our dining experience
at Cafe Des Beaux-Arts very much. The Coq au Vin was excellent as were the other dishes we tried. We will be back again before we leave Palm Desert!"

I recently went there for
restaurant week and chose one of their entree choices, however, their summer special was a much better choice. My sand dabs were fine, but came with very sparse side dishes and the strawberry dessert was only okay. I wouldn't go back."
Dined on 6/2/2014
Very good menu, several
interesting specials, nicely priced, excellent, friendly service. and the benefit of having a covered patio. all around excellent restaurant and one I will revisit during each visit to Palm Springs."
Dined on 5/26/2014
Bad service, bad food and dirty
restaurant. Horrible service - rude waiter / inattentive wait-staff - no butter for hard / stale bread - no water refill unless we asked 3 times. Arrived at noon for lunch and were given breakfast menu, so we asked for the lunch menu (12 noon is lunch - right) and got an attitude from the rude waiter about wanting lunch and he told us that we would have to wait. Food is just boring / lacks flavor / and cheap portions. When you order a salad, you would think that it would come with more than a 1/4 cup of old shredded lettuce. 2nd time dining there for lunch. I will not go back."
Dined on 5/25/2014
I am really sorry to have give any
restaurant a poor review, however all three times I have eaten here I have had the "runs" immediately after the meal. And it happened to my dining partner, too. My suggestion is that the kitchen should do a thorough analysis of food handling."

The server was great! He was

the night because the French eat late and we weren't disappointed. Waiter (Jose) was very attentive and helpful, coming to the table at just the right times. Ambience was perfectly romantic and on a very warm evening the misters on the breeze were wonderful. The food was excellent, with generous portions, and just what we wanted. We'll definitely return!"

We enjoyed a tasty albeit
throwback dinner. Looking at the menu one cannot tell if it was 1974 or 2014. All of the classic dishes one would expect at a French restaurant were available. Perhaps a little more inventiveness would bring more people to this solid restaurant. Friday night at 7:00 and only 1/3 of the tables were full. Our server were painfully slow in taking our orders. Yellow and red beet salad with caramelized walnuts and goat cheese on spinach was the freshest and best dish of the night. Onion soup gratinee was classic - it could have more onions. Chicken ravioli (7) with a creamy marinara sauce was great. Coq Au Vin with pasta was good but felt like leftovers - the sauce was so thick and the skin on the chicken was flabby."

Took my mother here for an early
Mothers Day. Upon arrival, there was little parking (which is to be expected in this area) walked in through the patio entrance & was hit by a very strange chemical odor (smelled like a pesticide) once you got into the building itself, the smell was no longer present. The atmosphere itself was nice, not as classy as I would have thought for the prices on the menu but, nice. The wait staff was pleasant, not as attentive as I would have preferred but better then other locations I have dined at. (Checked on us very little, waited a long while for drinks & refills) Food was overcooked and dry, some of it tasteless. Prices were pretty steep for such poor quality. Seemed to have a lot of regulars at the bar."

Enjoy a wonderful dining
experience while people watching on El Paseo. Those little French rolls are really crisp and tasty. Tradition says you must try the Onion Soup [ ooh la la ]. My BW went for the Beet Salad - outstanding. Excellent entrees include the Rack of Lamb and the Shrimp Provencale. Service with a smile always. Try them for Breakfast and Lunch as well. "

Enjoyed all of our favorites-
escargot, spinach salad, veal special & seafood feuillette (sp?). Very good, as usual, along with prompt, friendly service & best view to people-watch."

As seasonal residents, this is one
of the first restaurants for us when we return to the Desert and one of the last before we leave. We like the patio and my wife likes to watch the people on El Pasao. "

delicious French meal. Great location with outdoor seating on El Paseo"

The food was not very good. The
service was perfunctory. We felt we were being rushed. Of all the restaurants where we have eaten in Palm Desert this is the last one we would go back to."

A nice spot for a lady's
get-together too. We shared the beet salad - delish. We all had the sand dibs for our entrees and they were wonderful. Wish I could go back and have more. Lovely to be on the semi-outdoor terrace and street-watch too."

Many visits to this very enjoyable
restaurnant, both for lunch and for dinner. A wide selection of items on the menu so you can always find something appealing to eat. Outstanding salads and soups. Great fish and deserts. The semi-open air dining is delightful. Enjoy!"

We have had dinner at BA many
times Have always enjoyed the food and the restaurant every time. Nothing negative to say."

We've been to Cafe des Beaux-Arts
many time but never on Saturday night. It was too crowded and noisy for our tastes. Service was slow, and my creme brulee was burnt. However, on every other occasion, the Cafe was perfect! Great food, great service, and nice covered seating right on the Paseo. Our favorite place in Palm Desert, at least for lunch and weekday nights."
Dined on 3/29/2014
If you are like me and grow weary
of shiny, new, glitzy, chain affiliated fine dining...then you will enjoy the independent feel , the not perfect but cozy charm, and the older but well maintained facility. Great covered patio. Attentive and gracious service. Don't expect health food. This menu is steeped in old Europe where sauce and puff pastry are king. Cafe des beaux-arts is steeped in Palm Dessert's tradition but is still relevant."

or anything else youre doing on El
Paseo strip . Nice corner restaurant across from the weeks events. Had a nice country pate offering which you dont find on the pizza bar menus. Poured a hefty glass too! This is about my 5th time here. most meals better than average for sure but not the best i've ever had. it was the convenience that brought me herer this last week and it was a good choice for what we were doing that evening and the meal we were looking for so pleased that we chose it. They did inquire if we werer headed off to the fashion show so seemed happy to get us served in good time with out us having to ask. All in all good experience and will return."

Waiter lacked personality and was
not attentive. Bread was sub-par, like a soft stale effect. Salad was good but Salmon entree lacked taste. My date's fish dish was salty. The dessert was terrible. It was an ice cream filled doughy puff. Ice cream normal but dough was tasteless and texture was just awful. Will never go back although the location is great. Perhaps if I had a few drinks I would not have cared."
Dined on 3/21/2014
This is a tremendously popular
place due to its location, food quality, ambiance and great service. Always busy and vibrant,with its large open windows, it makes the interior part of the outdoors. We returned with another couple after quite a long absence and found it to be just as delightful as we werere remembered."

For the past three years we have

One of my favorite places to
return to year after year! With wonderful options, delicious food and great service you can't go wrong! My only problem this time, and it's happened twice, is my vegetables and mashed potatoes have been cold upon being served. Now I didn't bring it up and it wasn't only my plate either. Just wondering, hmmm."

The food was OK. The bar service
was very bad. My wife ordered a Saffire Bombay Martini. The bartender ran out of Saffire & used regular gin to complete the cocktail. She didn't tell us or even offer a discount for the drink. Wait service was nice& pleasant."

This was second time at this

Nestled in the heart of El Paseo
Drive in Palm Desert, the receiving staff were excellent. We chose the restaurant based on a recommendation for a Valentine's Day dinner and queried via the online reservation to confirm they were also serving ala carte. Upon arrival there was only the overpriced Valentine's Day dinners $42.50-$55.00 pp, and we found our meal choices were VERY ordinary. Overall, a barely adequate experience not to be repeated."
Dined on 2/14/2014
We attended your restaurant on
Valentines evening and first off were offered a different menu than shown online, which was OK, except much pricier than the normal menu. Two of us ordered the "Surf & Turf" which consisted of filet mignon and prawn @ $57.00. Both steak & prawn were extremely dry with no juice left in the steak. Also, the steak was about the diameter size of a normal filet, but was about a 1/4 thick, which was not consistent with the normal 1 inch standard and no where near the thickness of any filet that I've ever had, thus the restaurant gave 4 customers one steak divided. Adding to the poor meal was a waiter that appeared to be in a hurry and had little time for us. Please realize that I'm normally not a demanding person."
Dined on 2/14/2014
Seated shortly after our
reservation time. Booked. Service considering the number of dinners at the restaurant was very good. Food considering that it was Valentine's Day and was a limited menu was acceptable. Let the host and the waiter know we had a theater event at 8 pm and were out with plenty of time to make it - were not rushed."

They highlighted LGBT discrimination in the military, refusal for Ang Ladlad's (an LGBT political party) participation in the 2010 election, and the discriminatory enforcement of "grave scandal" and vagrancy laws to unfairly target LGBT people and sex workers. The State responded to several questions regarding LGBT-rights from the Committee during the interactive session.

Including one fatal crash Monday at the intersection of James Street. A man was killed when he was speeding and hit the side of a semi-truck.City leaders said that intersection is one of the more dangerous spots."Between the intersection and the interchange it's very short so with the high speed it is very hard to maneuver. So that's one thing we want to make sure we can address with that study and improvements," said Pasco Public Works Director Ahmad Qayoumi.WSDOT estimates 9,000-15,000 vehicles travel along the Oregon Avenue corridor every day. 15% of the traffic is semi-trucks which carry 7.7 million tons of cargo through there every year.

Remember Me
By Susan CarsonVirginia Happenings Don't forget that the Virginia Public Library's Summer Reading Program is underway. Each Wednesday afternoon from 2 to 3:30 p.m. they are hosting a good time full of reading, crafts, games, treats and prizes. The first week is June 18, "Frolicking in the Forest" and week 2, June 25 is Down on the Farm; Moo! Oink! Neigh! Let's Pin the Tail on the Donkey and have fun making sheep.
It's only January 2nd, but how many of your New Year resolutions are already broken? Well, cheer up! Here are more good rules for life from Charles J. Sykes, "50 Rules Kids Won't Learn in School." Rule 26: A moral compass does not come as standard equipment. People do not always naturally know right from wrong, and your feelings are not a reliable guide to moral and ethical conduct. H. L. Mencken once described conscience as "the-mother-law whose visit never ends."
With New Year resolutions fast approaching, I've finished reading a most useful book, Charles J. Sykes, "50 Rules Kids Won't Learn in School." These rules aren't entirely for school kids as yours truly falls short on a number of "rules." On January 31, 1986, Ronald Reagan spoke to the nation at the memorial service after the space shuttle Challenger disaster. He reminded us that: "All human progress is a struggle against the odds. We learned again that this America, which Abraham Lincoln called the last best hope of man on Earth, was built on heroism and noble sacrifice…. We think back to the pioneers of an earlier century, and the sturdy souls who took their families and their belongings and set out into the frontier of the American West. Often, they met with terrible hardship. Along the Oregon Trail you can still see the grave markers of those who fell on the way. But grief only steeled them to the journey ahead."
The United States has led negotiations since 2003 to stop Iran from building nuclear weapons. A nuclear Iran, whose Muslim theocratic leaders have advocated an anti-Western concept of world order for 35 years, would have profound consequences for global nonproliferation policy and the stability of the Middle East. In 2003 came the revelation Iran had been secretly constructing a uranium-enrichment facility at Natanz and a heavy-water reactor at Arak. As former secretaries of state Henry A. Kissinger and George P. Schultz state in a December 8 Wall Street Journal opinion piece, "The heart of the problem is Iran's construction of a massive nuclear infrastructure and stockpile of enriched uranium far out of proportion to any plausible civilian energy production rationale."
Pensions are on the way out. Over a half-century of workers receiving adequate wages, cost effective health care, and pensions is nearing its end. It appears the vast majority of Americans have no voice, as unions decline, supplanted by corporate wealth and power, as state and federal government have become minions to corporate hegemony. Illinois Senate president John Cullerton, whose caucus is dependent on union dollars, must have downed a mickey of truth serum when he told WGN radio on October 20 that the state's massive public employee pension debt ($100B) and nation's lowest credit rating is not a "crisis," but instead "an issue being pushed by business backed groups seeking lower income taxes at the expense of retiree benefits." For example, see tax cuts/incentives for corporations to remain in Illinois – ADM, OfficeMax, Univar….
We are honoring the 50th anniversary of the death of a president – the fourth assassinated. Most age six or above remember where they were shortly after 12:30 p.m. central time on November 22, 1963. I was in fifth grade at Chandlerville Grade School, that magnificent old three-story red brick building straight out of Norman Rockwell. We had returned to our seats after lunch and recess when our substitute teacher, Arlene Stone, entered crying. Being the class clown, I remarked that lunch wasn't that bad. She paid no attention. After composing herself, she said the president had been shot. The superintendent, T.O. McCullough, soon sent all students home.
Hispanics serving on both sides participated in some of the bitterest fighting of the Civil War as Texas, critical to the Confederacy as its primary source of food supplies and ports for cotton export, represented a civil war within a civil war. Tejano (Hispanic Texans) fought Tejano and they faced particularly complex choices as to where to place their loyalties. Slavery, being relatively scarce, played less of a role in these decisions. Many from the northern frontier of Mexico were proponents of Mexican Federalism, a belief in regional autonomy that coincided with the states' rights policies of the Confederacy. Others, having engaged in frequent clashes with U.S. troops stationed on the post-Mexican War border, welcomed the removal of those forces from the region. Wealthy Tejano ranchers mirrored their Creole counterparts in Louisiana and were linked to the Confederate leaders of Texas by marriage, politics, and shared economic interests. Santos Benavides, a member of a wealthy Laredo family, represented these Tejanos. He served as a colonel in the Confederate army.
Hispanics in the western states and territories faced difficult choices in choosing sides when the Civil War broke out. The Mexican government had banned slavery and only "a few enslaved African Americans lived in the arid lands of west Texas and New Mexico. Many Hispanics opposed the idea of bringing the institution into their homeland and endorsed Union efforts to prevent it. Nevertheless, owners of crop lands in New Mexico – a group that included some wealthy Hispanics and Anglo Americans – often relied on the coerced labor of American Indians and shared some of the views of their slave-holding counterparts in the South. Other Hispanics harbored bitter feelings toward the U.S. government as a result of the Mexican War and demonstrated their disapproval by supporting the Confederacy. The political influence, trade connections, and geographic proximity of the South also drew many Hispanic ranchers and farmers closer to the movement to secede from the Union.
Sailors: North and South Hispanics fought with valor in the navies of both sides as some of the most dramatic fighting of the Civil War occurred on the high seas. Dozens of Hispanic sailors served on Confederate ships attempting to "run" the Union blockade of southern ports. Capt. Michael Usina was one of the of the most daring Confederate Navy officers. Born to Spanish parents in St. Augustine, Florida, Usina began the war as a private in the 8th Georgia Volunteer Infantry. He joined the Confederate Navy after suffering serious wounds in the war's first battle at Manassas. As "captain of a blockade runner, Usina made several harrowing escapes, always managing to avoid capture on his many successful missions" to supply the southern cause with food and war material.
"Damn the torpedoes! Full speed ahead!" So the Civil War's most famous Hispanic, Rear Admiral and fleet commander David Farragut, shouted through a trumpet from his flagship after one of his ships struck a tethered naval mine, known as torpedoes, and sank during his greatest victory – the Battle of Mobile Bay on August 5, 1864. The son of a Spanish father, a Minorcan immigrant from the Balearic Islands in the Mediterranean, and an American mother, Farragut, raised in Tennessee and New Orleans, began his naval career at the age of nine. He served in the War of 1812 and the Mexican War and was 60 when the Civil War erupted in April 1861. Though he lived in Virginia at the time, he remained loyal to the Union. Farragut won fame for commanding the successful naval expedition against New Orleans, which reestablished Union access to the Mississippi River Valley. The U.S. Navy rewarded Farragut with the newly established rank of vice admiral. His success in taking Mobile Bay, the Confederacy's last major port open on the Gulf of Mexico, led to his being promoted to full admiral on July 25, 1866, a rank the Navy again created especially for this national hero.

At first glance, Gopi Kallayil's life appears to be consumed by technology. A Google marketing manager, Kallayil has a high-pressure, 60-hour-a-week job in the heart of Silicon Valley, which means: video conference meetings with co-workers all over the world; tactics sessions in HQ war rooms; upwards of 500 emails a day to manage via computer and smartphone; a blog; and Twitter and Google + accounts. He is a prime candidate for a distressing case of info-overload, but the soft-spoken Kallayil seems happy and unruffled. On the phone and in person, he's energetic and engaged, and shows nary a sign of distraction.
Kallayil's data-saturated worklife might be extreme, but it's not unusual in today's always-connected world. What's surprising is his response to the crush of data that threatens to take up his every waking moment. He shuns multitasking and gives his full attention to one thing at a time. He even looks forward to long stoplights—not for the opportunity to glance at his latest text messages, but for giving him a moment to be mindful and present and to remind himself that there's more to life than the Web and Wall Street."I perform a gratitude practice on my drive to work every day," he says. "I count 10 things that I'm grateful for."
On the surface, the 24/7 pace and digital distractions of high-tech living appear antithetical to inner wisdom practices like meditation. Our myriad devices tempt us with endless stimuli that invite our attention to go off in a million scattered directions at once, while meditation narrows our focus to a single subject—the in-depth study of our own mind.
You might not think of the digerati—the people who populate the upper echelons of the high-tech world and whose very jobs often exist to stoke your compulsive need for silicon-infused connectivity—as contemplative types. But what's perhaps most intriguing about Kallayil, a graduate of both the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School of Business and a Sivananda Yoga teacher training program, is that he's not alone. Kallayil is one of a small yet growing number of elite technology executives that make practices like yoga, meditation, and self-inquiry a significant part of their lives. Indeed, decision makers at Internet companies ranging from the software start-up asana to the gaming juggernaut Zynga are showing their commitment to actively advancing our possibilities in an externally wired world, even as they strive to better understand their own internal wiring.
The Cost of Roaming
You could argue that our pervasive relationship with technology is in deep opposition to the fundamentals of meditation and spiritual life. The compulsive checking of messages, staying connected because you're afraid of missing out, or answering a late-night work email because it makes you feel needed can all be powerful distractions from knowing your true self. Wisdom practices, on the other hand, invite you to set worldly matters aside for a few moments, to cut yourself loose from the ego, and to experience yourself free from external affirmations and influences. Is it even possible to enjoy a quiet mind or pursue an experience of your true nature if you're caught up in rapid-fire tweets or are busy measuring your popularity via Facebook "likes"? Soren Gordhamer believes it is and feels technology itself may prove an ally in the quest for mindfulness. Certainly, he dismisses the idea that we need to leave our smartphones behind to discover nirvana.
"There must be some middle ground where we're not just shunning technology," he says. "A place where we can still take advantage of all the amazing things technology provides—like search services and real contact with family and friends."
Gordhamer, 43, is the de facto spokesperson for the intersection of the mindfulness movement and the technology industry. He believes that we should em-brace and champion technology as long as we bring the same quality of attention to our relationship with our iPhones and iPads that we bring to our meditation and yoga practices.
"When my cell phone rings and I notice anticipation and nervousness inside me about what the call might represent, I bring consciousness to the moment. I'll ask myself where I'm looking for something to satisfy," he says. "Suddenly the phone is a teacher."
In other words, Gordhamer thinks we can avoid a different kind of "roaming charge"—the emotional or psychic cost connected with the distraction and expectation associated with that phone, wherever and whenever it might be ringing—by remaining as attuned to our inner technologies as we are to our outer ones.
Gordhamer, who divides his time between Dixon, New Mexico, and the San Francisco Bay Area, didn't always have such an integrated approach. In 2003, while attempting to create a new Internet company, he worked all day and surfed and networked all night. The computer screen was his constant companion. And while Gordhamer welcomed the virtual interactions, he knew that the seductiveness of data streams and technology kept him from going outside, spending time with his son, and practicing asana. Gordhamer, whose father is a psychologist with a passion for meditation, had grown up listening to his dad quote the words of mindfulness-community icons like Ram Dass. But the more time Gordhamer spent at the computer, the more his asana and meditation practices suffered.
"I came to believe that technology was having an increasingly negative impact on my life," he says. "And I thought, 'Wow, if I'm struggling with this, I bet thousands of other people are struggling, too.' "
Wisdom in Real Time
In 2008, Gordhamer wrote a snippet-filled how-to book aimed at techies that suggests, among other things, that yogic philosophy can help readers stay in touch with themselves despite the many distractions that exist in their 21st-century lives. In Wisdom 2.0: Ancient Secrets for the Creative & Constantly Connected, Gordhamer proposes that anyone—whether or not you're a titan of tech—can reduce stress and increase dynamic thinking by embracing practices like nonjudgment, doing deep breathing, and taking in less information. He quotes such disparate cultural heroes as Mahatma Gandhi and Steve Jobs, and he gives sections of the book slightly geeky but empowering titles like "The Search Engine: Go for Truth."
Building on his book, with one foot in each of two seemingly un-related worlds, Gordhamer decided to bring the tech and spiritual communities together in real time. "I met a few people at Google and Twitter," he recalls. "I kept saying to them, 'How do we live mindfully in a constantly connected age? Wisdom traditions have some piece of that answer. Technology has some piece of that answer. Those two worlds need to come together for us to find a full answer.' "
The result was an annual conference called Wisdom 2.0, which for the past two years has taken place at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California—the very heart of Silicon Valley. The conference has drawn an impressive collection of leaders from the worlds of technology and spirituality—a who's who of speakers including Tony Hsieh, the CEO of billion-dollar online shoe company Zappos; Greg Pass, former chief technology officer of Twitter; Stuart Crabb, the head of learning and development at Facebook; U.S. Representative Tim Ryan; Zen Buddhist Roshi Joan Halifax; yoga instructor Seane Corn; meditation teachers Jack Kornfield and Sharon Salzberg; and Yoga Journal editor in chief Kaitlin Quistgaard.
In this town built on the trappings of ego—IPOs, wealth, and the desire for success,—the sold-out conference (whose live webcast last year logged 284,000 views) offers participants a chance for an unprecedented multilayered conversation about having a meaningful inner life while maintaining a connected outer one.
Last year, the Buddhist meditation teacher Jon Kabat-Zinn led a conference-wide meditation intended to push some members of the audience where they had perhaps never gone before: to be fully present with themselves, to notice how fast their minds race, to feel where they hold tension in their bodies, and to focus on what is arguably the single most important ingredient of any person's existence—not the Internet, not the latest app, but the breath. Kabat-Zinn instructed everyone to rest in his and her awareness, "as if your very life depended on it, which it does, in more ways than you can possibly think." And for the next few moments, there wasn't a peep or tweet out of the inward-looking crowd.!--page-->

Intel® Node Manager
Data center power management
Smart server management
Intel® Node Manager is a smart way to optimize and manage power and cooling resources in the data center. This server power management technology extends component instrumentation to the platform level and can be used to make the most of every watt consumed in the data center.
The second generation of Intel® Node Manager delivers two core capabilities that provide key information and control to enable the data center to be run in a more efficient manner—it reports system-level as well as processor and memory subsystem power consumption, and it limits power at the system, processor, and memory levels—utilizing policies defined by IT management.
Console enablement options
To maximize the benefits of Intel® Node Manager, a management console is required to aggregate power data and set policies for physical and logical groups of servers. For more information:
Node Manager Programmers Reference Kit >
Intelligent architecture that supports power management
This dynamic new approach to managing power in the data center is designed to take full advantage of Intel's latest microarchitecture. The Intel® Xeon® processor E5 family, Intel® Xeon® processor E7 family, and Intel® Xeon® processor E3 family improve energy efficiency by up to 50 percent compared to the previous-generation Intel® server processors.1,2
Using intelligent energy management at the platform level helps IT administrators squeeze extra value and performance out of existing rack space while reducing the total cost of ownership by better managing power and cooling operational costs. Administrators can improve business continuity by dynamically capping power to avoid overcooling systems, reducing downtime and allowing critical operations to continue even during power or thermal events. They can also balance resources by dynamically moving power from one part of the data center to another, depending on where the need for power or cooling is greatest.
Improve Power Management with Intel® Node Manager
Dynamically monitor power management at all data center levels, optimizing throughput, load balance.

The price tag for a hip or knee replacement at Baptist Healths Doctors Hospital in Coral Gables is bound to cause sticker shock: $208,602, the highest charge for such a procedure at any South Florida medical facility.
A little farther north, the quoted price drops substantially for the same surgery: $65,120 at Broward General Medical Center in Fort Lauderdale. Thats about $12,000 less than the national average for a joint replacement with major complications, according to new data the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services released this week.
The departments Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services analyzed what 3,337 U.S. hospitals charge for the 100 most-common inpatient procedures covered by Medicare, based on the 2011 fiscal year.
By making public the wildly varying costs of the procedures, the Obama administration said it hoped to increase transparency from healthcare providers and give consumers the power to be smarter shoppers for medical care.
We want to start a dialogue about why, from Florida to Washington state, and even from hospital to hospital in Miami, there are such significant variations in healthcare costs, said Patti Unruh, deputy director of media relations for Health and Human Services.
We dont fully understand the reasons, she said. But we want people to know that, when they go to the hospital for something, there may be another hospital two miles away that charges significantly less. We hope [the new data] gives folks the information they need to do some selective shopping.
Jackson Memorial and the University of Miami Hospital are much less than two miles apart theyre right across from each other along Northwest 12th Avenue but they charge far different prices for the same procedures.
The University of Miami's average cost for a pacemaker implant was $127,000, about twice as much as the $66,000 that Jackson Memorial charged. Treatment for pneumonia cost about $32,000 at Jackson and $60,000 at UM.
Similar cost discrepancies are apparent throughout South Florida and the rest of the country.
In Miami-Dade and Broward counties, inpatient charges to treat heart failure varied from a low of $31,000 at Imperial Point Medical Center in Fort Lauderdale to a high of $110,000 at Coral Gables Hospital. The same treatment in Denver hospitals ranged from a low of $21,000 to a high of $46,000, while the costs ranged from $9,000 to $51,000 in Jackson, Miss. The national average: $34,519.
The price disparities puzzled Jonathan Blum, an administrator with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. He said the charges dont seem to make sense to us from a consumer standpoint. Theres no relationship that we see to charges and the quality of care thats being provided.
The pricing variants revealed in the federally released data have the greatest effect on uninsured Americans, who often are billed for the full, hospital-mandated cost.
South Florida healthcare-industry experts said the price data has less of an effect on privately insured consumers, because their health-insurance companies pay pre-negotiated rates for services. Still, insurance companies set their reimbursement rates based on hospital prices; as hospital prices go up, so do premiums.
Hospitals are loath to reveal their pricing lists out of fear of giving competitors a financial advantage.
But the disparity in prices for the same procedure at different hospitals could put pressure on healthcare executives to explain their cost structures, said Sal Barbera, a former hospital chief executive and now a Florida International University professor of health-services administration.
Some hospitals will claim their patients are sicker, Barbera said. And some hospitals could be dealing with patients who have multiple complications. So somebody with diabetes may also have heart problems and other complications. Those kinds of multiple-complication patients will definitely add up charges.
Hospitals typically dont explain what goes into the cost of care. Teaching hospitals, for example, have to pay medical residents, and those costs may get passed on to patients.
We have got to come up with a simpler way to pay hospitals based on true costs, Barbera said, because we really dont know what the cost structure is the way theyre charging.
Barbera said some hospitals may inflate prices simply because no ones ever paid much attention to them since few insured people actually pay or even see the advertised price.
Medicare has a flat amount it will pay based on a predetermined formula, he said. In fact, thats why Medicare went to that payment method, because of the inconsistencies in all these charges.
Private insurers also do not pay the advertised price.
They all pay on a negotiated fee, Barbera said. So the charges dont mean anything to them either. Theyre going to pay on a per diem amount to a given hospital.
The patients who do see the full prices are typically the uninsured. And unless theyre independently wealthy, Barbera said, many uninsured patients simply dont pay at all.
Low reimbursement rates cause hospitals to jack up the price of medical procedures well above actual costs, said Linda Quick, president of the South Florida Hospital and Healthcare Association, an advocacy and education group.
The charges are always substantially higher than the costs, because the reimbursement usually comes somewhere in between the two or not at all in some cases.
With the release of the price data, consumers now have a greater ability to shop around, and hospitals have a reason to adjust inflated rates, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said.
When consumers can easily compare the prices of goods and services, producers have strong incentives to keep those prices low, Sebelius said. Hospitals that charge two or three times the going rate will rightfully face greater scrutiny. And those that charge lower rates may gain new customers.
Barbera said he thinks the government released the new data to push the healthcare industry to contain or at least provide a better explanation for their costs.
Its probably coming out because right now theres a lot of focus and attention on healthcare reform, and I think that theres a lot at stake, he said. Clearly what healthcare reform has done is its kind of stirred the pot, and now these things are coming out.
Barbera said private insurance companies also could make use of the new Medicare data to examine their negotiated fees with hospitals.
Typically, Humana, Blue Cross are going to pay more than the government pays for a particular service, he said. But theyre also going to use this information as well.
Even though people are not on Medicare, the Medicare process has kind of a halo effect on other payers as well.
Tony Pugh of the McClatchy Washington Bureau, Trevor Aaronson of the Florida Center for Investigative Reporting and Lazaro Gamio of The Miami Herald contributed to this report.
A previous version of this article misstated the costs of pacemaker implants at the University of Miami and Jackson Memorial Hospital.

Campus Alert System
Ferrum College Community,
Ferrum College utilizes the e2Campus alert system to communicate accurately and effectively to our campus community. E2campus allows us to instantly send notifications through multiple channels including e-mail, cell phone, Twitter and Facebook.
In our continuing effort to ensure our notifications are received the most effective way, the College is converting the current opt-in system (that requires users to sign up to receive e2campus alerts) to an opt-out system, which will allow us to send text message alerts to all students, faculty and staff who have a current cell phone number in our database.
The opt-out system went into effect Friday, February 21, 2014.
Please note: This change will affect all current students, faculty and staff. Current e2campus users who already receive alerts from us will continue to do so as they have in the past. In addition, we will continue our multi-modal approach that includes sending alert emails and posting notifications to our campus web pages, as well as our Facebook and Twitter sites.
- Why are text alerts important to me?
Alerts received at the right time can help keep you safe during an emergency. With our e2Campus alert system, warnings will also be sent to your mobile device, which is often the most effective and immediate method of communication.
- What type of alerts will I receive?
You will receive e2campus alerts regarding extreme weather conditions, schedule changes, campus emergencies, and other important messages.
- What if the College does not have my current cell phone number?
If we do not have your current cell phone number, please update your information by logging into your iAssistant menu via Panther Portal > Applications > iAssistant. Hover over the Self-Service menu and click on Emergency Information Maintenance
- What if I do not want to receive e2campus text alerts?
We strongly encourage everyone in the Ferrum College community to make certain they receive the text message alerts sent through the e2campus system. However, if you do not wish to receive the e2campus alerts on you cell phone, you will receive an initial "You have been registered…" text with an option to opt-out.
- What if I do not have a cell phone?
You will still receive e2campus alerts sent to your ferrum.edu email.
How to Opt-Out
You may opt-out of email alerts only, SMS alerts only, or the entire service, you can simply reply to any text message from us with the word "OPTOUT" and only the word OPTOUT.
If you have any questions, please email us at email@example.com

---- — CHEERS to Dannemora Federal Credit Union for waiving the fee normally imposed on non-members for use of its change-sorting machine in order to help Plattsburgh State students who were raising funds to help Hurricane Sandy relief efforts. The students collected more than $500 in coins during a residence-hall drive, and the Credit Union offered some relief of its own by saving the students from having to count and roll all those pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters. Students are continuing their fundraising with other events throughout the month. Many Plattsburgh State students hail from the storm-struck areas, and it is good to see their efforts to help people in their home communities. It is easy to characterize college-age people as focused only on themselves, but that would be unfair. Many students from area colleges give their time to community service, in this area and at home. We applaud their efforts and that of Dannemora Federal Credit Union for facilitating the fundraising.
JEERS to teachers who gave homework over the Thanksgiving break. It is understandable that teachers would be tempted to do that, what with all the pressure to meet state and federal standards. And now there is this year's added scrutiny that educators face from the new performance evaluations that are being instituted. It is certainly enough to make even veteran teachers feel like they can't skip a day of homework, for fear of a lapse in progress that might come back to haunt the school — or the individual teacher. But teachers have always been advocates for the kids, and it's an important role, just as necessary as helping the class achieve. It was always the teachers who protested against being forced to teach to the test instead of promoting the lesson creativity that gives each child a chance to excel. It was the teachers who tracked down special services for children who needed it. It was the teachers who spent their own money on extra supplies so their classrooms could be lively and stimulating. So we need those same caring teachers to put their foot down to pressure to pack on the homework. A number of parents have told us their children feel overwhelmed by all the tests and homework that they have to deal with. Let's allow the holidays to be a time to rest, to relax, to enjoy time with family. That way, the students can return to school feeling recharged and ready to absorb some more knowledge.
— If you have a Cheers and Jeers suggestion that you want the Editorial Board to consider, email it to Editor Lois Clermont at email@example.com.

WENATCHEE, WA - Investigators say faulty electrical wiring in a cherry grower's irrigation pump house sparked the Colockum Tarps wildfire this summer.
The Washington State Department of Natural Resources says the fire in Kittitas and Chelan Counties covered about 66 square miles or more than 80-thousand acres.
The wildfire, which began July 27th, destroyed four homes and several outbuildings, and forced dozens of people to evacuate their homes.
The state says it will seek to recover the $11 million it took to cover firefighting costs.
The DNR says the irrigation system is owned by a longtime local orchardist.

Select Area...
Settore A (sector A)
Settore B
Settore C
3 sectors, all with bomber limestone. All routes are well-equipped for sport climbing. You're more likely to find them to be over-bolted, rather than run-out. All walls are south-facing, but shade can be found, especially in sector B. Sector A has shorter routes (around 10-15 meters long) and a great little cave with several fun routes. Sector B has routes in the 20-25 meter range and plenty of shade. Sector C has the most difficult routes and sees little action. The trail is somewhat overgrown. None of these areas are ever very crowded, as the route to climber ratio is wonderful!
Getting There
The parking and trailhead are both located between Albisano and Garda.

"Some people online claim that we are not accountable and can just 'censor' anything we want," said Vincent Hanna, a spokesperson for the Spamhaus Project, Wednesday via email. "This is obviously not the case. Not only do we have to operate within the boundaries of the law, we are also accountable to our users."
"If we started advising our users not to accept mail from certain places where they actually do want email from, they would be very quick to stop using our data because it's obviously not working right for them," he said. "We take pride in the quality of our data and the fact that the biggest ISPs and networks all over the world use our data is a big vouch to the quality of our data."
This was the biggest attack ever directed at Spamhaus, Hanna said. However, the organization is constantly under attack and tries to ensure that its users will continue to have access to its data, he said.
The core Internet infrastructure may certainly get overwhelmed by the amount of traffic involved in a large-scale attack, Hanna said. "When this happens other traffic may get impacted too. Compare it to a big highway: If the traffic jam gets big enough the on-ramps will slow down and fill up, and the roads to the on-ramps will fill up too."
The Dutch Public Prosecution Service has launched a criminal investigation into the DDoS attacks targeting Spamhaus after being notified by the Team High Tech Crime (THTC) of the Dutch Police, said spokesman Paul van der Zanden. There is enough cause for an investigation, he said.
