ANDERSON, Ind. —
Madison County Schools showed mostly positive gains in the number of high school graduates in 2012, according to the Indiana Department of Education.
Anderson Community Schools led the way with a nearly 15 percentage point increases in graduation rates from 2011 to 2012.
In the four years covered in the Department's rankings released on Monday, Anderson's graduation rate increased from a low of 59.6 percent in 2010 (2009 was slightly higher) to 85.4 percent last year.
Superintendent Felix Chow declined Monday to talk about the marked increase in graduation rates for the reporting period because he had not yet seen the data.
Other Madison County were eager to tout their success, however.
Elwood Community High School posted a graduation rate of 92.9 percent in 2012, up from 89.4 percent in 2011.
"I think it's good positive news, but anything short of 100 percent is not what you hope for," said Principal David Retherford. "We certainly want that number to go up every year."
When told of numbers reported at other schools, Retherford said it seems as though Madison County schools as a whole are doing a better job of helping students successfully complete high schools.
Alexandria-Monroe High School graduated 94.4 percent of its students in 2012, the highest rate of all schools in the county.
"I would say that with all the variables that exist, at Alexandria we continue to look at what sliver of this education piece we can tackle each year ... and get it to a masterful level," said Superintendent Alice Johnson.
She said educators are doing everything they can do to keep students in school, whether it's through alternative education programs for students who might be troubled, or doing a better job of engaging highly able students with advanced class offerings.
"We're trying to go from good to great, and that takes a real effort," Johnson said.
At Frankton-Lapel Community Schools, an unaccountable drop in the graduation rate at Frankton Junior-Senior High school brought down the district's graduation rate as a whole, said Superintendent Bobby Fields.
"There are always those kids that are difficult to reach," Fields said. "You just have to try and make sure that kids are staying on track from day one."
Sometimes students leave the system but don't enroll elsewhere, which counts against the school corporation, Fields said.
Other students graduate with a certificate instead of a standard diploma, which can also count against a school corporation's overall graduation rate, he added.

Marvel vs. Capcom 3 Final Boss RevealedWith Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds due to launch for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 next week, developer and publisher Capcom has unveiled the final boss.
Which Marvel or Capcom figure could cap off a cross-over of such epic proportions? Could it be Ramon Salazar from Resident Evil 4, or perhaps The Red Ghost and his Super-Apes? While Capcom has no qualms about blurting this information out, we'll at least do you the courtesy of concealing it below.
If you hadn't already seen the leaked footage, then surprise! It's the Devourer of Worlds himself, Marvel's planet-eating Galactus. It would seem that once again, Earth is on his dinner menu.
As well as pummeling you with his own fabulous gauntlets and zapping space-beams, Galactus will transform MvC 3 characters into gleaming, Silver Surfer-style heralds to slap you around a bit too. Have a gander at the boss battle in this new trailer:

Remembering Where You Were Sept 11, 2001
Each of us have memories of where we were ten years ago today. Andy and I were doing the Tuesday morning radio show on WTRV FM. I remember glancing at the television in the corner and the first shots of one of the World Trade Center towers on fire. Like everyone, we wondered how in the world could a commercial jet strike a building so visible on such a clear September day. There rest, well...you know.
The events of September 11th, 2001 are still firmly etched in the minds of most Americans, even ten years later. Ninety-five-percent of those taking part in a new Harris Poll say they "clearly" remember and 84-percent "very clearly" remember where they were and what they were doing when they first learned about the terrorist attacks against the nation.

New action to combat traffic congestion in Colne
1:00pm Thursday 6th February 2014 in News
THE next stages to tackle traffic congestion in Colne have been outlined by Lancashire County Council chiefs after public concern over their plans to bypass the town and Foulridge with a £38million link road.
The authority's transport boss John Fillis promised action to cut jams on the Vivary Way/North Valley Road corridor would be taken and assessed before any final decision on the controversial new highway.
He spoke following a visit to the affected area after he last week added an alternative of no bypass to the six routes originally proposed.
The move came after a public consultation on the draft East Lancashire Transport Masterplan failed to give clear backing to any of the options.
It showed widespread opposition to its preferred 'Brown route'.
The new consideration has been welcomed by Earby Tory councillor Chris Tennant, who said it should look at extending any bypass beyond his village to avoid 'just moving the problem'.
Coun Fillis revealed a new three-stage strategy for the Vivary Way/North Valley Road corridor in Colne.
It includes: l Delivering a works programme including junction improvements, modernising pedestrian facilities and making sure street furniture and signs are effective; l Closely examining the effects new development will have on traffic volumes and movements along North Valley Road; l Updating the county council's information on volumes and destinations of traffic using North Valley Road, through traffic counts and road side interviews.
Coun Fillis said: "The consultation told us that people want us to carry out more detailed appraisals of the options for a bypass.
"We need to improve the transport network around Colne and our view is that a bypass is likely to be the best long-term solution.
"In the short-term, however, there is serious congestion in the area and we will carry out a range of work during this financial year to try to improve that congestion now.
"At the same time we will gather information to help us confirm whether a bypass is the best option and, if so, to build a business case for investment."
Coun Tennant said: "This careful consideration is the best way forward."

Kevin, Colne says...
I gather from this article that the four-point action plan is
A works programme including junction improvements;
Modernising pedestrian facilities and making sure street furniture and signs are effective;
Closely examining the effects new development will have on traffic volumes and movements along North Valley Road;
Updating the county council's information on volumes and destinations of traffic using North Valley Road, through traffic counts and road side interviews.
I'm sorry, but I think that this is wholly and utterly inadequate. It's verging on the laughable.
Junction improvements will not deliver much, if anything, in the way of additional capacity.
Most pedestrian facilities on the North Valley are fairly modern, and quite how attending to traffic signage and counting cars, buses and trucks will alleviate congestion is lost on me.
The impact of new developments should already be examined closely, so I'm not sure how this can assist unless the county starts objecting to proposed housing developments in and around the northern and eastern side of the town.
The policy tools available to the County are very, very limited. They have no lever to moderate traffic demand and therefore they must address road supply.
Extending the M65, building the Villages by-pass and re-opening the Colne to Skipton link, however well justified, are decades away.
The County should, in my view, investigate as a matter of urgency the possibility of co-ordinating the pelican crossings with the phasing of the light controlled junctions. In addition they should investigate the feasibility of providing additional traffic lanes – it may be possible to squeeze these in, but it won't be easy.

I use that route a great deal and what always puzzles me is how all those vehicles that were crawling along nose to tail literally from the end of the M65, all disappear when you have got passed Langroyd Road. I know from my journeys that they don't all go up Langroyd , so where have they gone? And another thing, why aren't the planners looking at South valley?

It's a spade! says...
Cllr James Keith Starkie wrote:You are being deliberately misleading The Jacobs traffic study shows that only 30% of the total traffic goes on to the A56. 50% of the traffic is not "through" traffic at all so how will a bypass help?
I may be wrong but isn't the onward split of traffic going beyond Colne, roughly 2/3 for the A56, 1/3 for the A6068?
So, spend Millions and 70% of the traffic will still be there by which time you will have approved a "garden centre" for Boundary Mill and another retail outlet for Lidl. That are already on the cards let alone anything that may come along.
All the while you will have spoilt a beautiful area with no benefit. you also fail to mention that to make this viable there will have to be "employment areas" at each end. Even more green belt being taken. You will trot out the old line of attracting employment. If there is such a demand for new land why can't Peels fill the site they have in Barrowford and have applied to turn into housing? Why has Lomeshaye extension been approved ONCE the current site is filled. There is no demand for this extra land.
How about another route that leaves the M65 at Brierfield and heads up through Roughlee past Barley and join the A59 towards Gisburn? Too close to home James?
You also fail to make it clear that all of the proposed routes will take away some of the existing railway track bed. If this happens then it will never be re-opened no matter what you might say. The cost of adding bridges would be astronomical and prohibitive.
If the traffic congestion is so bad due to all that that goes through to Foulridge, then how come there are never any traffic problems there or in Kelbrook or in Earby?
Have people really understood how big a flyover will have to be (because of the ground levels) at Foulridge and the potential impact on a fantastic piece of history and Victorian engineering (the Mile Tunnel).
Why has the council year after year approved various developments on North Valley which has consistently added to the traffic yet in granting permission has stated that the existing traffic infrastructure is adequate to support the proposed developments and now is saying that it isn't, which is it? If it isn't then the two proposed developments should be refused out of hand, surely?
Have any of the people who really think this is gridlock ever driven outside of Pendle? I regularly drive all over this country and abroad and a five minute delay is hardly gridlock. This morning I spent half an hour to get from the junction on the M60 to Old Trafford Cricket Ground. That's life you just live with it. I don't feel that the cost of this project is in any way worth it, and of course the cost won't be the cost but will end up being substantially more, they always are.
LCC has tried and failed to convince North Yorkshire to "link" to this road. they have stated categorically that they have no inclination to do so. will not commit any funds as they see no point to it whatsoever. The A59 is not the road to be linking to the most direct and quickest route would be into the Aire Valley and the modern road that exists there.
Here's an idea. Write to every person in Pendle and ask whether or not they support this road. With the proviso that if, once built, this has no effect on "congestion" then the cost of building it will be added back to their council tax for the next 20 years. See how keen people really are!
1:16pm Fri 7 Feb 14
Cllr James Keith Starkie says...
*There's nothing misleading about my 2/3 v 1/3 comment - you failed to pick up on the word 'onward'.
*Pendle's input into the LCC Masterplan was the long term desire to support both a bypass and preserve the track bed.
*Colne is one of Lancashire's (not GM's) traffic hotspots. Building the bypass will help the economy and be particularly useful to West Craven, whilst at the same time ease Colne's problems.
*In my view, a single carriageway from Barrowford locks to Foulridge is not the end of the world. I grew up watching the HIgham bypass being constructed and look how important that road is.
*Mr Spade, please continue this debate but send me a private email first so that I know who I'm talking to.

DeBray "Fly Benzo" Carpenter. He was busted on Oct. 18, 2011, by two of SFPD's finest, John Norment and Joshua Fry, for (gasp!) participating in a community organized rally while playing a boom box in Mendell Plaza in the heart of Bayview Hunters Point. For speaking out against police brutality, especially the SFPD murder of Kenneth Harding last July, he was brutally arrested, tried and now is barred from Mendell Plaza by order of Judge Jerome T. Benson.
March 7, 2012
DeBray "Fly Benzo" Carpenter was put on trial for allegedly obstructing and assaulting a police officer and resisting arrest. Mendell Plaza, located at Third Street and Palou Avenue, is an important public gathering place in the heart of Bayview Hunters Point. "People have been plugging in that boombox right there for years," said Benzo's lawyer, Severa Keith. "That corner is used for everything."

"It's tough to digest. It's still kind of sinking in. You know? A police officer was shot at my house. Not very fun," said homeowner Sean Davis.
Davis returned home to find everything inside his house turned upside down. On Monday, crews worked to replace a shattered sliding glass door.
"All that's finger print dust. I don't know if it was forced entry or if the window was left ajar. But, that's where he entered the first time," said Davis.
The burglar was scared off by police. They searched the area but couldn't find him. Several hours later they got called back out.
"He came back and put a cobblestone through my sliding glass door," said Davis.
Officers checked but couldn't find anyone. Ten minutes later they were standing outside his house when Sergeant Robert Carpenter was shot in the head with a high caliber gun.
"Everything else is just material. As for the officer who got shot in the head. That's tragic. Horrible. Terrible. Senseless," said Carpenter.
Here's a look at the crime scene yesterday. Officers swarmed the neighborhood. A swat team went door to door. Today the streets were back open and neighbors appeared to be back to their same old routine.
Whitney Nichols said, "I'm obviously not afraid I feel if he robbed someone and committed a crime maybe he would be as far away as possible from this neighborhood with lots of cop cars looking for him. I think he would be pretty stupid to hang around."
"It certainly makes you think about being aware of your presence at all times," said Bob Marek, who is visiting his son down the street.

I'm so glad that I live in Mountain View which is NOT "suing or threatening to sue." Though there is a huge range of diversity in opinions, education, and income here, my general feeling is that Mountain View is both progressive and practical when it comes to planning for change.
I wish the tech visionaries who have created so many jobs, products and wealth in Silicon Valley would get more involved in local political discussions to balance the yelps of those who want everything to stay just as it was the day they moved to town.
The routes for the High Speed Rail were debated extensively and publicly for 2+ years. Let's figure out how to do the best we can as we move forward in the process, not backwards.
on Mar 20, 2009 at 3:55 pm
Yes, the routes for the High Speed Rail were definately debated for a long time. And the local newspapers/internet showed the different routes possible coming into the Bay Area. And the route was decided on; The Cal Train corridor. The population at large should know this already so no one should really be surprised.
Mountain View would make a great HSR stop as Cal Train, Light Rail, and the busses all stop at Castro St. at Central Expressway.
So stop the bickering along the peninsula and lets move forward WITH HIGH SPEED RAIL. It is coming.
on Mar 20, 2009 at 9:02 pm
Amen. Mountain View makes way more sense than PA or RWC. Downtown MV is just better connected to the transportation grid...the one exception being the San Mateo buses that terminate at Palo Alto. Couple this with a modification to the light rail, perhaps extending it to the Shoreline area businesses. Remember the debate maybe a year ago about a shuttle to downtown from that area? Do that with light rail and downtown MV makes even more sense.

PEORIA, Ill. -- A 16-year-old is dead and six others were taken to the hospital after a two-vehicle crash Sunday morning.
Illinois State Police said a pick-up was going to fast for the icy conditions near I-74 and I-474 just after 10 a.m. when the driver lost control and crashed into a car.
Brooklyn Armstrong of Carlinville was killed in the accident. Her autopsy is scheduled Monday. None of the five people in the truck were wearing seatbelts.
The two people in the car were also taken to the hospital.
The driver of the vehicle, Kevin Kiehna was cited for driving too fast for conditions, failure to secure a 15 year-old in a seatbelt and failure to wear a seatbelt. In addition, Dylan Kiehna and Tiffany Kiehna, both 22, were cited for failure to wear a seatbelt.
A 15 year old juvenile male was also injured in the accident. He is in fair condition.
Icy conditions also played a role in another accident on Interstate 74; this time going East.
The Brimfield fire department responded to a crash involving two SUV's.
It happened just east of the Edwards- Kickapoo exit. The road was shut down until firefighters cleared the scene.
The extent of any injuries is not yet known.

If a story arrises, does it reflect the comunity as a whole? Not all the time. I know many stories that dont go into media and it hides the reality to the rest. I think its good to be aware and to educate and at the same time to also display the good in the community as much as the negative.
I dont agree with the Boston bomber on Time magazine for next months issue but the reason its being displayed is its educational. I see both spectrums here so its a double sided sword to me.

(WJBK) -- This is a great starter when you have your grill fired up. Weather not permitting, this flavorful tomato topping is also great scooped up with artisanal crackers or on crostini.Makes about 6 - 12 appetizer servings, or 12 pieces1 lb SUNSET® Campari® Tomatoes1 small loaf rustic artisanal bread or baguetteOlive oil for brushingKosher salt for sprinkling1/4 cup chopped fresh basil2 Tbsp finely diced red onion2 - 3 tsp minced fresh garlic3 Tbsp high-quality Caesar dressingGarnish: freshly grated Parmesan cheese and small fresh basil leavesPreheat the grill to a medium-high heat.Dice the tomatoes into 1/4 - 1/2″ pieces and set in a strainer to drain off excess juice while you continue with recipe.Cut the bread with a serrated knife. If using a "fat" bread loaf, cut six 1/2″ slices, then cut each piece in half crosswise, making 12 pieces. If using a baguette, cut twelve 1/2″ diagonal slices from the loaf. (Use any remaining bread for another purpose.)Lightly brush both sides of bread with oil and grill on each side until lightly marked or toasted. Sprinkle bread lightly with salt. Place on a platter.In a medium bowl, toss together the drained tomatoes, basil, onion, garlic, and Caesar dressing. Divide the tomato mixture between the grilled bread slices. Sprinkle with Parmesan and garnish with basil leaves if desired.Chef's Notes: If you want to make this "bread-free," you can serve the tomato mixture in small romaine-heart leaves.

It was on March 21, 1864 that President Abraham Lincoln signed legislation enabling Nevada to become a state. Nevada Territory went on to join the union later that year, on October 31, 1864.
Along with the public, those in the community whose birthday falls on Oct. 31 are invited to attend the event, grab a piece of cake and take a photo at 3:30 p.m. with all other shared birthday attendees at the historic event.

From Nevada 150
On Friday, Senator Dean Heller (R-NV) made remarks recognizing Nevada's statehood on the Senate floor:
Mr./Madam President, I rise today to recognize the great state of Nevada as we celebrate 150 years of statehood.
It is a remarkable opportunity to speak on the floor of this Chamber about this milestone, given the role that Congress played in the formation of the Silver State. The movement to make the Nevada Territory a state began within the territory, but the first attempt to formulate a Constitution failed.
Shortly after, the 38th Congress passed an "enabling act" for Nevada statehood. Signed by President Abraham Lincoln on March 21, 1864, this bill made it possible for Nevada to eventually adopt a state Constitution. Lincoln proclaimed Nevada a state on October 31, 1864.
The guarantee of statehood was given to us by President Lincoln who, with our assistance, would go on to pass the 13th amendment, win the civil war, and heal our broken nation.
Marking the 150th year of Nevada's statehood takes me back to Carson City when I was four years old. It was Nevada's centennial celebration. The date was October 31st, 1964. I remember being with my family, listening to the Carson City Municipal Band lead the festivities.
During that same year - in 1964 - President Lyndon B. Johnson was re-elected over Barry Goldwater, and would go on to declare a "war on poverty."
Race riots broke out in Harlem and across the nation, and President Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 into law. The 24th amendment to abolish the use of poll taxes was ratified.
In 1964, the Summer Olympics were held in Tokyo. Congress passed the Gulf of Tonkin resolution, which ultimately allowed for increased military action in Vietnam.
The James Bond film Goldfinger began its run in the United States. Bewitched premiered on television.
Much has changed in these past 50 years, but the character of Nevada has not. From its first birthday, to its 100th to its 150th, Nevada continues to be shaped by its people - people who are entrepreneurial, fiercely independent, and as diverse as our terrain. We are molded by the grit, hard work and pioneering spirit of individuals determined to succeed.
The list of the men and women who have molded our state is long.
Where some saw impossibility, a Nevada Senator by the name of Newlands saw opportunity. To this day his legacy lives on in the hay, the cattle, and the very fields that were made possible by water he brought to the desert.
Standing among our nation's great, frozen in bronze, greeting visitors to the nation's Capital is another Nevadan, Sarah Winnemucca. She, like many Nevadans, challenged the status quo. She refused to accept the injustices brought on her Native American brothers and sisters. So, instead of fighting with a weapon, she fought with her pen. Through her words the plight of our fellow Americans living on reservations were heard.
And of course, in Nevada, Mark Twain was born. Samuel Clemens adopted the famous pen name while covering the news for the Enterprise in Virginia City. Twain wrote eloquently about Nevada, from the rough-and-tumble attitude of the Wild West to the beauty of Lake Tahoe, dubbing it "surely the fairest picture that the whole earth affords." Any visitor to this pristine landscape would agree.
More recently, I think of Paul Laxalt, the former Lieutenant Governor, Governor and U.S. Senator for Nevada, who, among other things, was instrumental in preserving Lake Tahoe and establishing our state's first community colleges and medical school.
Or former Representative Barbara Vucanovich, who will be recorded in the history books as the first woman to represent Nevada in the United States House of Representatives. This alone is a remarkable achievement, but the integrity and determination with which she fulfilled her duties makes her achievement even grander.
Former state Senator Bill Raggio also comes to mind. He was a true statesman and the longest-serving member in the history of the State Senate.
These individuals have left their mark, but it's the people of Nevada who have forged the Silver State.
During the formation of our State's Constitution, Nevadans demanded that our state's mothers and sisters be heard. The women of Nevada were granted the voice of a vote before the 19th Amendment was ratified by our nation. We helped pioneer the vote for all.
During World War II, when our brave soldiers fought for peace and prosperity, Nevadans who were not able to fight abroad brought forth minerals like Magnesium from the ground. Magnesium, harvested near the township of Henderson, was considered a miracle metal for the munitions and airplane parts which would help lead us to victory.
The residents of Boulder City built the Hoover Dam, a government infrastructure project which holds back 26 million acre feet of water, and was delivered early and under budget. With an expected 2,000 year lifespan, the Hoover Dam supplies clean energy to the grid, water to thirsty cities across the southwest, and protection to downstream communities.
Ever since we were born into the battle to mend our broken nation, Nevadans have been willing and able. Though our population is small, our caliber is high. From all walks of life, brave Nevadans have heard and responded to the call to arms. At Naval Air Station Fallon, we host the Navy's Top Gun School. The elite men and women of our armed forces who train here push the limit, compete, and set the tone for global air superiority.
Welcoming tourists from across the globe, farming mining, engineering, ranching, serving in the Armed Forces. These are just a few of the things we Nevadans do. And as our state motto goes, we do all of these things "all for our country."
Recent times have been tough in Nevada, but our pioneer spirit lives on. We continue to move forward. We have seen the booms and now, more than most, we continue to feel this most recent bust. Like many in our great nation, Nevadans have lost homes, livelihoods, and the promise of a steady paycheck, but this will not deter us. Our state is battle born. We will continue to fill our 150 year old promise of being willing and able to give all for our country. I am a proud Nevadan, and as the son of an auto-mechanic from Carson City, it is a privilege to stand on this Senate floor today to recognize our state's 150 years of statehood.
Mr./Madam President, before I close, I would like to thank Lieutenant Governor Brian Krolicki, Chair of the Nevada Sesquicentennial Commission, for the hard work he has put into recognizing this important milestone. Over the course of this year, the Commission has planned and overseen many events and activities, providing Nevadans an opportunity to reflect on where we have been and where we are going.
Thank you, Mr./Madam President, I yield the floor.

Rhapsody has just released v2.1.1 for Android and it's a BIG one. They're being surprisingly quiet about it so far, but I assume they'll make a bigger deal about it soon.
The biggest news: Higher bit rate streaming to the Android client!!!. This is significant because one advantage the newer services like Mog and Rdio have had over the old guard like Rhapsody and Napster is better bit rates.
Well, now Rhapsody can stream 192 kbps AAC on lots of songs in its library. It's still not 100%, but the bump in quality is noticeable with a good pair of headphones or speakers. (The songs will be marked 'HQ' when you listen to them)
A full list of changes from the Android Market release notes:
What's in this version:
A couple other more notable-than-usual features include the ability to place shortcuts directly to specific playlists as well as better Album and Artist screens.
All Rhapsody Android users should get this immediately!

Update: Real Madrid 1-1 Barcelona, Final Score
Real Madrid had the first chance of the half after Michael Essien dispossed Xavi to start a counter attack break. Cristiano Ronaldo found Karim Benzema at the top of the 18-yard-box with a celver backheel and Benzema worked laterally before placing a shot that curled just over the bar.
Minutes later Barcelona finally struck.
Lionel Messi took the ball right off Xabi Alonso's foot and tapped it forward to Cesc Fàbregas who was sitting onside in a ton of space behind the majority of the Madrid back line. Fabregas was in alone and took his time, drawing Diego López off his line before beating him with a shot towards the far post as López committed to his right.
Madrid really have been the better side overall through the first half and at the start of th second half, so giving up a goal like that will sting. It also won't help that this is a home-and-home tie and away goals count as a tiebreaker after 180 minutes. An away goal for Barca who return home for the second leg could be huge.

In the period beginning in roughly the late 1970s, the economic situation for much of the former colonial world, generally called the Global South, worsened. The massive Debt Crisis and the demands by international funders, e.g., the International Monetary Fund and World Bank, for what was called "structural adjustment" resulted in resources being shifted in the various nation-states of the global South to pay off debts and to gain much needed financial aid. Across the global South, this resulted in privatization, specifically the selling off of the infrastructure and resources of countries, piece by piece. Nation-states had fewer resources for healthcare, housing, education, and all-round economic development. They had to spend what funds they had following the dictates of the funders in

3.5/5 rDev +1.4%
Pours a slightly hazy caramel brown color with a frothy one inch cream head that dissipates fairly quickly, leaving no lacing.
Aroma is fairly fruity, apricot, wheat, then sweet bready caramel. There's a bit of lactic funk and coriander.
Flavor has a citrus twang, with a strong wheat presence and a very bready, caramel, toasted malt backbone. Coriander and pepper add a subtle complexity. There's a bit of a mineral taste that lingers. Subtle herbal hops are reminiscent of tea.
Body is moderate, with fairly high carbonation.
Overall, an interesting experimental brew. Never had an example of this style, so comparisons are not possible. Pretty simple flavors, though.

Only the second Gose I have had to date...that I can remember.Poured into a weizen glass a deep golden with a large sticky white crown that settles ever so slowly leaving multiple "globs" of lace behind.Aromas are very clean with lightly toasted wheat malt and some mineral,that's about it.Flavors are also somewhat clean with mild toastiness and mineral notes,the finish has a real shot of briney saltiness and gives the beer some character.It's not bad it is refreshing but not anything to really write home about,I would not seek it out again but would not turn it down if offered either.

A: a medium amber with good clarity. The head is off-white made of fine bubbles with decent retention.
S: A moderate spicy and slightly lemony hops aroma with a medium amount of peach and orange fruity esters. There is some low malt sweetness aroma.
T: There is a medium malt sweetness with a bit of caramel like character. A medium-strong fruit flavor that seems yeast derived being mostly oranges and a bit pithy with a medium-low hops bitterness. The balance is somewhat bitter. The finish is off-dry with an aftertaste of hops bitterness and orange peel.
M: A medium-full bodied beer with a lot of weight on the palate from the salt. There is a medium strong level of carbonation.
O: A fruit and somewhat malty beer like oranges mixed with a bit of the peel some caramel and light bit of spice. Not a bad beer at all defiantly off the beaten path and worth the try.

In my pint glass this beer was a bright copper color with a small white head.
It had a grassy, outdoorsy aroma. There was a bit of spice in the aroma. It was rather bland.
A heavy dose of coriander in the taste. Some wheat. The spice was way too heavy.
Not too pleasant mouthfeel. I thought it had a very metallic aftertaste.
This gose was for the birds.

A - Pours a mostly clear orange/ brown liquid with one finger of off-white head. Head fades pretty quickly and leaves only scant lacing.
S - Huge whiff of coriander, followed by wheat bread, a touch of lemon and some mineral aroma.
T - Has elements of a witbier, mostly the coriander and wheat, but then clearly goes in a different direction with the subtle mineral flavor, and a slughtly soapy flavor. Also a touch of lemon throughout. Pretty good and interesting, but not a style I would want very often.
M - Medium mouthfeel with a spicy dry finish.
O - My first gose. Has some good things going on, but at the same time doesn't make me want to seek out others in the style.

22oz brown bottle with no freshness date but suggests that the beer is cellar worthy.
LOOK: Massive head that does not want to move, hazed over orange amber
SMELL: Coriander, lemon pith, mineral, earthy, bready, slightly toasted grain, hop oil, spicy
TASTE: Coriander, star fruit, margarine, slightly soapy, bitter, citric zest, grainy, earthy, semi-dry finish
Flavors seem a bit lost / muddled. Does get a bit soapy which makes it more difficult to drink. Glad they tried this style but this one needs some work IMO.

Poured into a Sam Adams perfect pint glass
Appearance: 1/3 inch head, high carbonation, orange-gold yellow in color, clear
Smell: orange, wheat, and citrus
Taste: orange, wheat, citrus, and salt at the end
Mouthfeel: medium-light body, sweet with a salty aftertaste, medium-high carbonation
Overall: I really appreciate Sam Adams or anyone tackling this style. That said this tastes like a Leinie's Sunset Wheat with a salty aftertaste. The salt I find to be the most interesting thing about this beer and wish it was more present. Not a bad beer, but I think this could use a bit more refining. There have been more complex and better beers in the small batch series.

The beer pours an orange-amber color with a large white head. The aroma has a lot of wheat and lemons in it, as well as some salt. The flavor has some toffee and biscuit malt. There is also a bit of saltiness and some very light tartness. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation. I haven't had a lot of goses, but this one was as good or better than the other ones I have tried.

poured from bottle into a Sam Adams glass.
Appearance: Golden amber color with a slight haze, not quite clear. About three fingers of white head that lasted sveral minutes leaving some mild lacing on the glass.
Smell: Light smelling, sweet smells. Citrus and maybe pineapple?? Smell was hard to detect, it was not a overpowering smell.
Mouthfeel/Taste: I would say it is a medium bodied, heading towards a full bodied. It is smooth but thicker feeling, almost sticky. Taste was good, sweet with maybe some wheat in the backround. Slaty, but not too bad.
Overall: Glad I tried this beer, it was worth the experiance and was quite enjoyable. How ever I would like to try a few more Gose before saying too much. This was my second one, and I hear this style is making a comeback.

3.7/5 rDev +7.2%
Serving glass: Poured from bottle into Weizen glass.
Appearance: Slightly hazy orangish-amber with dense, frothy white head, and very bubbly lacing.
Smell: Lots of wheat, with some mild coriander. Sharply acidic and salty, with some light tartness.
Taste: Huge wheat taste, with a strong acidity and mild tartness. A touch of coriander and salt on the finish, which makes me want to keep drinking.
Feel: Medium body that is fuller than expected. Carbonation is lower than a Hefeweizen would be. Finish is dry, crisp and refreshing.
Overall: Never had a Gose, so can't really comment on how well it fits the style. However, this mainly just seems like an American Wheat with some coriander and salt. Ultimately, this means that it is very refreshing, but not very memorable.

1 pt. 6 fl. oz. poured into a globe. Can't find a bottle date.
A: Cloudy golden with a fairly quick dissipating one finger white head. Above average lacing.
S: Very interesting. Heavy coriander. Some fruity Belgian qualities. A little buttery caramel (diacetyl?). Beyond that, the aromas are familiar but really difficult for me to put a finger on.
T: Nothing too sharp. Some butteriness. Lots of fresh coriander and orange peel. Pretty smooth overall. I guess there's a small amount of saltiness, but nothing more than I might normally notice.
M: Full flavored and interesting. Body is medium to full. Much fuller bodied than most other coriander "summer beers" that I'm used to. Carb is minimal.
O: Assuming this is an accurate example, I can see why this style hasn't taken off. It has the summer flavor that appeals to many (not me), but is fairly heavy to drink and lacks the scrubbing bubbles that people ordinarily associate with warm weather refreshment.

Verloren opens with a very witbier-like nose in many aspects, being full of bananas and bread, but with far more spice notes than found in most witbiers. The coriander adds a peppery note, and the fruit esters include orange, pear, apple, and melon. Hops add a touch of citrus, mainly lemon, with small additions of grapefruit. Brown sugars rest beneath, along with hints of vanilla. There's also a touch of sourdough bread here. As a whole, the nose is certainly one of the more intriguing in Sam Adams' lineup, bringing together a mélange of aromas that very nicely play off of each other. The banana and sourdough (though the latter is quite faint) are particularly nice.
On the tongue, the beer opens sweet and fruity, with huge fruit esters such as berry, orange, banana, and melon immediately present. A nice spice backing, including pepper and coriander, adds pizzazz and nuance. The salt that was used in brewing does bring a slight saltiness to the beer, but I can't honestly say I would have been able to figure out what was causing it had I not known of the ingredient—in other words, the beer is by no means salty, but instead, the salt acts as a subtle amplifier of other flavors. There are also touches of toast crust and very light sourdough, as well as lemon and faint grapefruit from the hops. The aftertaste is more bitter and plant-like than the main mouthful, many of the sugars having died off, but enough remain to not make this overwhelming. Mouthfeel is medium, and carbonation is medium.
Overall, this is good beer, and certainly intriguing. The witbier and coriander notes, when combined with lovely fruit esters and breads, strike a nice balance and work well together. I did find the flavors ever-so-slightly watery, which was especially present after several sips were taken in a row and the flavors diminished somewhat. But this is a still a very nice addition to Adams' Limited Release series.

Poured from 650 ml bottle into a Sam Adams perfect pint glass. Batch No. 1.
Appearance: Pours a bright and hazy golden orange with lots of rising bubbles. Huge five finger off white head with good retention. Leaves a lot of lacing around the glass.
Smell: Aroma upfront is wheat and pale malts with a big presence of coriander that leaps out of the glass. Some pepper spice and some hints of citrus fruits including orange and apricot. Also some spicy European Noble and Saaz hops. The salt is pretty noticeable too giving it an interesting kick.
Taste: A pretty interesting and nice taste. A good amount of bready wheat and pale malt. Big taste of coriander spice with some pepper. Very good notes of citrus fruit with some orange, apricot, and peach. Some Saaz and Noble hops add to the spice. Salt really comes in strong towards the finish and leaves a zinging spice on the tongue.
Mouthfeel: Light to medium bodied with a moderate level of carbonation. Crisp and spicy. Salt leaves a spicy, almost burning feel on the tongue.
Overall: A pretty decent brew here. I don't have any other experience with this style, but this is pretty interesting and comes off well.

4.09/5 rDev +18.6%
Appearance: hazy, golden with reddish-orange hues when held to natural light, a white head that borders between creamy and fizzy, however lacking in size.
Aroma: Definite hints of coriander with a pervasive and biting salty whiff, an exotic aroma that is reminiscent of banana, green apple, and lemon/lime zest.
Taste: Both refreshing and spicy with a fruity finish reminiscent of baked apples and pears with peppery coriander kick and salinic, rather than hoppy or bitter, finish. Delightfully dry finish.
Mouthfeel: Smooth and soft on the palate from the unmalted wheat and quite refreshing. Medium bodied, slight carbonation prickle on the finish.
Overall Impression: A nice balance of salt, sweet (fruit), and dryness. This ale is noticeably different from most other weizens or wheat beers because of the salt added, and lack of hop bitterness. The smooth mouthfeel and refreshing fruitiness makes this a great thirst quencher, but the dryness keeps you coming back for swig after swig.

22 oz undated bottle served in a Trois Pistoles snifter.
Pours a hazy apricot-amber color with a small eggshell head that soon settles to a partial coat. Plenty of visible and felt carbonation.
S: Delicate fruity, biscuity aroma.
T: Dried apricots, salt, coriander, white pepper, light yeast, biscuits and a hint of orange marmalade in tasting. Nice mix of sour, sweet, bitter and salty.
M: medium-light body with medium high carbonation.
O: Refreshing and easy drinking beer with well hidden alcohol.

After violent clashes between two communities in the Maharashtra town of Dhule caused police firing and ended with five deaths, police have now started investigating the role of hate speeches made by Muslim politicians ahead of Municipal elections in the town.
"We have inputs of a few Muslim politicians inciting a crowd in Dhule and allegedly telling them to attack policemen and officers at the next opportunity. We do not know the reason behind this, but this will be probed," an Indian Express report quotes Director General of Police Sanjeev Dayal as saying.
Abu Azmi, Mumbai unit president of the Samajwadi Party, who is said to have been leading the politicians told Indian Express, "I don't remember the context of the speech made. I would not use words like these. I said the police are being unfair to Muslims. Innocent men are being put behind bars. The Government should do something. Police should get punished. This is what I say everywhere and I am sure I said the same in Dhule in October 2012."
Dayal said, "Over 113 policemen were attacked, with 48 seriously injured and admitted. The superintendent has incurred four stitches on his cheek. ASP and deputy SP were attacked by a mob in a narrow alley with stones and all sorts of things."
According to police, four persons, including a teenager, were killed while 200 others were injured in the violence that happened on Sunday. Seven of the injured were reported to be in a critical condition. Machhi Bazaar, which was the epicentre of the violence was placed under curfew on Monday. Violence erupted after a minor tiff over non-payment of a hotel bill.
News of hate speeches having triggered the violence in Dhule comes close on the heels of the uproar over Akbaruddin Owaisi's hate speeches made in Hyderabad. Owaisi, who has been making insulting speeches and inciting violence for a long time in his Constituency Chandrayangutta, has been under the scanner since last week after a video clip of one of his recent speeches went viral on the web.

Holmes Beach in Anna Maria Island is a favorite secret near Clearwater, St. Petersburg and Tampa. Seven miles of sugar-white beaches, sparkling green-blue waters, award-winning restaurants and an enjoyable high end shopping venture. Anna Maria is a barrier island between the Gulf of Mexico and Tampa Bay, actually comprised of three cities: Anna Maria City, Holmes Beach, and Bradenton Beach. A trolley traverses the island and many people enjoy strolling their way around the island. In its relaxed, laid-back style, Anna Maria Island offers an amazing variety of restaurants and shops. Gulf Beach Place is a 4 condo building and you can rent 3 out of the 4. With 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms in each of the 3 units this property is affordable, right by the beach and offers a big pool for your next family vacation. Rent one or all three if you have a larger group. Each unit has it's own washer and dyer, kitchen and access to the rooftop patio. By booking this listing, you are getting a discount and blocking all 3 units at the same time. Each of the 3 units in the building of 4 has a dining table big enough to seat 8, private laundry and full kitchen. The kitchen is large with all amenities and appliances. Located only 20 minutes from downtown Sarasota and only 90 minutes to the Disney theme parks this hideaway is very quiet and casual. Downtown Tampa is less than an hour away. Room to park two vehicles under each unit 80 inches high and then space for a boat and trailer ajacent to the building. So a total of 6 vehicles, 14 guests and a nearly private pool make this complex the perfect place for a large family or group.

Phoenix, AZ (Sports Network) - The Phoenix Suns have signed free agent Dionte Christmas.
Christmas, 26, spent the first four years of his professional career overseas after going undrafted in 2009. The 6'5 wing averaged 10.1 points and 2.7 rebounds per game off the bench for the Suns' Las Vegas Summer League squad this summer.
"We're excited to add Dionte to our roster," said General Manager Ryan McDonough. "His scoring ability, leadership and toughness will help us this season."
Christmas spent last season with Montepaschi Siena of the Italian Serie-A, averaging 5.1 points in nine games.

The Browns signed RB Chris Ogbonnaya off Houston's practice squad Tuesday and waived third-string RB Armond Smith, the team announced.
Ogbonnaya, 25, appeared in two games for the Texans this season, rushing three times for six yards. He played in two games for the Rams in 2009, rushing for 50 yards on 11 carries and catching one pass for 19 yards. Ogbonnaya (6-0, 225) played collegiately at Texas.
Smith, a rookie from Union College (Ky.), appeared in three games for Cleveland, rushing three times for two yards.
The way we see it
The Browns' starting running back, Peyton Hillis, suffered a hamstring injury on Sunday, and his status for Sunday's game vs. Seattle is uncertain. If Hillis can't go, Montario Hardesty will start, with Ogbonnaya the likely backup if the Browns don't make any other roster moves. Cleveland has three backs on the active roster, and another running back (Xavier Omon) on its practice squad.

A mother was arrested Thursday afternoon after police say she left her 1-year-old child alone in the car while she went shopping in northeast Atlanta.FOX 5 cameras were at the shopping center near Moreland Avenue and Caroline Street. Several alert shoppers noticed the child sleeping in the back of the white BMW that had a "Baby on Board" signs. The shoppers became concerned and called police.Witnesses say the woman spent about 30 minutes in the Ross before heading over to the Target store. She then returned later to check on the 1-year-old boy, but by that time, police were at the scene.Police say they arrested 28-year-old Megan Nieves and charged her with Reckless Conduct. The child's father came to get the boy, the woman's personal belongings and the car, Atlanta Police officers took her to the DeKalb County Jail.
A fifth arrest has been made in connection with the murder of a 13-year-old in his own bedroom on Sunday.

The Cole Hamels/Bryce Harper rumpus just got escalated; Nationals GM Mike Rizzo commented on the incident and did not hold back. Adam Kilgore of the Washington Post quotes Rizzo:
"Players take care of themselves," Rizzo said after I called him this morning. "I've never seen a more classless, gutless chicken [bleep] act in my 30 years in baseball.
"Cole Hamels says he's old school? He's the polar opposite of old school. He's fake tough. He thinks he's going to intimidate us after hitting our 19-year rookie who's eight games into the big leagues? He doesn't know who he's dealing with."
Rizzo went on, according to Kilgore, to comparing Hamels' comments to the current bounty scandal in the NFL and continued:
"This goes beyond rivalry and all that stuff," Rizzo said. "This points to, you take the youngest guy in baseball. He's never done a thing. And then Hamels patted himself on the back. Harper's old school. Hitting him on the back, that ain't old school. That's [bleeping] chicken [bleep]."
You think Rizzo's a little upset? I'd think so. MLB doesn't often act swiftly, but it would appear that after these comments and the ones Hamels made, a suspension for Hamels might be in order, and fairly quickly.
