STILLWATER -- A steady and unseasonably cold rain did not hinder the resolve of hundreds of volunteers who raised thousands of American flags Saturday -- one for each of the veterans buried at Gerald B.H. Solomon-Saratoga National Cemetery.
"We have a lot of dedicated people here we can always count on," said Cliff Seguin, chairman and founder of Operation Adopt-a-Soldier, which sponsored the ceremony and flag-placing this year.
Volunteers used donated tools to ensure each flag was straight and centered on the grave, while others read each name aloud. A past or present service member saluted each grave down the line.
"It's about remembering each one of these graves was an individual who fought for our nation," Seguin said.
His organization sends care packages to soldiers serving overseas and cards and letters to those lying in hospital beds, provides services to soldiers returning home and organizes support for families of military members. Operation Adopt-a-Soldier has sent more than 200,000 care packages since Seguin founded the nonprofit a decade ago.
Saturday, he directed volunteers up and down the rows of gravesites, unfazed by the rain.
Even the sites designated for recently deceased soldiers who have not yet been laid to rest were honored with flags and salutes.
"It's a really somber sight," Seguin said, standing near the exposed vaults awaiting soldiers. "They're not here yet, but they're coming."
"We honor them rain, snow, sleet or whatever," said Joe Spodnick of the Patriot Guard Riders, who stood in the cold rain with approximately 50 of his fellow Guard members. Around half of them rode their motorcycles to the event wearing leather vests decorated with American flags and military emblems, many coming from Albany or farther.
"It's an honor and a privilege to be here. All of these people deserve to be honored," Guardsman Bob Smith said.
They were among the 300 to 400 volunteers who went grave-to-grave to salute and honor each of the more than 10,000 veterans and their family members buried in the cemetery.
Barbara Burrows, a Blue Star Mother from the organization's Albany chapter, placed carnations on the graves of soldiers' spouses. She was there in honor of her son-in-law, Daniel Friebe, a 22-year retired Army veteran who died earlier this year.
"It's important for people to take a second or a minute to remember (service members) for what they do for us," she said.
"They are courageous patriots, so many of whom have given the ultimate sacrifice," State Sen. Kathy Marchione said during the ceremony. "We honor their memories, we honor their service and we honor their families."
She urged everyone in attendance to observe the National Moment of Remembrance at 3 p.m. Memorial Day.
"During that moment of silence, we will remember and honor those who have died for our nation and anyone who has ever worn an American uniform," Marchione said. "Every day should and can be Memorial Day when we pause to remember our nation's heroes and say a much- deserved 'Thank you.' "

2012 Visitor Impact for New Hanover County
- Details
- Published on Wednesday, 14 August 2013 15:43
- Written by Super User
Tourism Spending by Domestic Visitors Increases in New Hanover County and Statewide; New Hanover County Has 2nd Largest Increase at 8%; Ranks #9 in Tourism Expenditures
WILMINGTON, N.C. - August 12, 2013 - Kim Hufham, President/CEO of the New Hanover County Tourism Development Authority, announced today that the North Carolina Division of Tourism, Film and Sports Development released the estimated county-by-county tourism economic impact statistics for 2012.
North Carolina Governor Pat McCrory and Department of Commerce Secretary Sharon Decker announced earlier today that visitor spending rose in all 100 North Carolina Counties during 2012. The "2012 Economic Impact of Travel on North Carolina Counties" annual study was prepared for the North Carolina Division of Tourism, Film and Sports Development by the U.S Travel Association. The study reveals that in the year 2012 the economic impact from domestic travel in New Hanover County was estimated at $460.05 million, representing an 8.0% increase over revised 2011 revenues. This visitor spending increase was among the top two highest in the state. New Hanover maintains its ranks as number 9 among North Carolina's 100 counties in tourism expenditures.
According to the study, in 2012 Travel and Tourism in New Hanover County also experienced one of the largest increases in direct tourism employment from 2011 to 2012, with more than 5,360 jobs (a 5% increase) that supported a payroll of $100.77 million.
Travel and Tourism in New Hanover County also generated $40.43 million in state and local tax receipts. Travel-generated state and local tax revenues saved each New Hanover County resident approximately $192.56.
"We are pleased to report that tourism spending and direct tourism employment for New Hanover County during 2012 were among the top percentage increases in the state," states Kim Hufham. "We are further encouraged that New Hanover County Room Occupancy Tax [ROT] collections for fiscal year 2012/2013 are expected to confirm record growth. Based on ROT reports July 2012 through May 2013, collections were up 4.35% over prior year. We are hopeful that June 2013 figures will prove that fiscal year 2012/2013 sets a new benchmark for ROT collections. When tourism revenues are up it means more jobs and a better quality of life for our local citizens."
Travel and Tourism is an important economic generator that infuses millions of new dollars into our local economy each year.
Travel and Tourism is also among the state's fastest growing industries. In May Governor Pat McCrory announced that domestic and international visitors to and within North Carolina spent a record $19.4 billion in 2012, an increase of 5% percent from 2011.
The study also reveals that state tax receipts, as a result of visitor spending, neared $1 billion in 2012 and have increased 42% over the last 10 years.
The New Hanover County Tourism Development Authority d/b/a Wilmington and Beaches Convention & Visitors Bureau is the official destination marketing organization that stimulates economic development through the promotion of travel and tourism.

In a move that may tip the Panthers draft hand in a couple of respects, the Panthers spent the weekend getting a closer look at former at University of South Carolina Quarterback Stephen Garcia.
The team's prolonged visit with the former Columbia party animal may indicate a willingness to part with a late round pick to acquire his talents, as well as an intention of bringing in Garcia's former teammate and favorite connection Wide Receiver Alshon Jeffrey, who has spent the offseason slimming down and speeding up.
Garcia's infamous career at USC included (count 'em) five suspensions from the team due to marijuana- and alchol-related issues, yet he is a tantalizing enough talent to have kept the Ole Ball Coach finding it in his heart to let him back in the locker room.
Apparently the upside of Garcia's game is what Panther GM Marty Hurney sees in the much maligned athlete, after commenting to local reporters, "(Garcia) is an excellent arm talent with the potential to really carry a franchise ... (In college) he was really on when he was on."
When asked for comment, Head Coach Ron Rivera added the young Garcia bears a striking resemblance to former Pro Bowler Jeff Garcia, but would have to further evaluate his game before he could reach a verdict.
Garcia's 2010 junior season was the highlight of his college career, when he posted 3,000 passing yards and led his team to the SEC East Title before being routed by Cam and Auburn in the SEC Championship Game.
He was finally let go from the team before the 2011 season after testing positive for alcohol while under a zero-tolerance policy from the coaching staff. His absence forced the inexperienced QB Connor Shaw into action as the starter.
Happy April Fool's Day to everyone but Saints fans out there on the worldwide web! This one's at you, B-Dub.

BLOOMINGTON, Ill. -- McLean County Republicans are focusing on what they need to do to improve their party's success in future elections.
Tuesday night was the annual Lincoln-Reagan Dinner. The co-chairman of the Republican National Committee, Sharon Day, was the Keynote speaker.
She emphasized the party's need to move from a nine state campaign to covering all 50 states more thoroughly. She also explained the importance of reaching minority voters.
"Things that they stand for like freedom, equal opportunity, these are our values, these are our party's values. When we talk about those things in those communities, it resonates and that is how we are going to make additions and that's how we are going to work within these communities," Day said.
"I think what we have to do is find room for all in the party. Everyone can play a roll," State Representative Dan Brady said. "That doesn't mean we have to give up what are our core values to us."
Several potential gubernatorial candidates were at the event, looking to gain exposure for 2014 races.
"When you run for governor, you do a number of Lincoln Day activities. We're in McLean County tonight. A great Republican County. It's a great way to show yourself to the Republican faithful," said State Senator Kirk Dillard.
Dillard is currently the only declared candidate for the 2014 election.

Conditions at Brooke House to be discussed
7:00pm Tuesday 4th February 2014 in News By Chloe Chapman
COUNCILLORS are set to discuss ways of improving the living conditions of a notorious tower block.
A six-month review carried out by Basildon Council found the Grade II-listed Brooke House, in the town centre, was not suitable for children and should not be marketed as family accommodation.
Recommendations to manage concerns about antisocial behaviour and the cleanliness of the building will be discussed by the Tory administration when cabinet members meet next week.
It comes after ten Brooke House residents, including eight council tenants and two leaseholders, attended a witness session to talk about their experiences, while others submitted their views in writing.
They agreed the majority of problems were down to a small number of residents or visitors causing deliberate damage or misusing the facilities.
There are now plans in place to introduce an overnight security guard and have cleaners working at weekends.
The cabinet meeting will take place at the Basildon Centre from 7pm on Thursday.

Jo Walton's Among Others is one of those rare novels about adolescence that will appeal both to teen and adult readers. It won both the Nebula and Hugo awards for best novel. The narrator, Morwenna "Mor" Phelps, is a teenager who's sent off to boarding school after a devastating occurrence near her home in South Wales (the details of which Walton slowly reveals over the course of the novel) left her in almost constant pain, both physically and emotionally. What saves her is reading

Police in northern Michigan say a man dressed as Batman got in the way of their investigation into a personal injury accident.Mark Wayne Williams is charged in Emmet County with one count of resisting and obstructing police. Michigan State Police Sgt. Jeff Gorno says Williams showed up at the accident scene Saturday night "in his Batman outfit" and "wouldn't clear the scene." Gorno tells the Petoskey News-Review police "had a canine out there," and Williams "kept screwing up the scent." The sergeant says authorities "didn't want the dog to track Batman instead of the accident scene." A telephone call to a listing for Williams rang unanswered on Wednesday.The 33-year-old Petoskey resident is facing a two-year felony. He's due back in court on Oct. 18.Last October, Williams was sentenced to six months probation and ordered not to wear costumes after he pleaded guilty to attempted resisting/obstructing an officer. Williams was arrested in May 2011 after being spotted atop a building while wearing a Batman costume.

BATON ROUGE- The St. Tammany Parish coroner has lost two battles in the war he's waged against a new law stripping him of financial control over his office.
In June, Dr. Peter Galvan filed a lawsuit in Baton Rouge against the state and parish government after House Bill 561 was passed by the legislature and signed into law by the governor.
Tuesday was the second time Galvan has sent attorneys into the courthouse in Baton Rouge only to end up defeated. This loss stemmed from Galvan's lawsuit against the state and the parish claiming a new law limiting his power is unconstitutional. The judge not only ruled that the state didn't have to be a defendant. He also said the case didn't belong in Baton Rouge.
"The state seems to think they can just be heard when they want to and not when they're sued," said Galvan's attorney, Phil Wittmann. "So that was a decision the court made today and we'll live with it."
"The decision by Judge Fields, I believe, just validates what I've said all along, that the case needs to be in St. Tammany Parish where all the entities reside," said St. Tammany Parish President Pat Brister.
Attorney General Buddy Caldwell's office, who represented the state at Tuesday's hearing, said in a statement, "The Attorney General is satisfied that the judge sided with us on this procedural matter, sending the case back to St. Tammany Parish. We will be actively watching the case and will become active if or when needed."
Now, a St. Tammany judge will decide whether the law, which gives the parish control over coroner's office finances, property and approval of spending, will stand. The coroner says it shouldn't for several reasons, including that the law changes the purpose of tax money approved by voters in 2004. Galvan's attorney says despite court losses already, he still believes that they have a good chance.
"We've got a level playing field, a great shot at declaring the statute unconstitutional," Wittmann said.
The parish says it's ready to pick up the fight.
"We're now eager to have the constitutionality issue finally resolved so we can move forward and do what we're supposed to do," said Brister.
A decision on whether the two lawsuits will be combined has not been issued, and neither has a hearing date for when the case will pick back up in Covington.
The last visit to the Baton Rouge courthouse by the St. Tammany Coroner's Office was to fight legislative auditor investigators, who were requesting thousands of emails while probing claims of misspending and mismanagement by Galvan. A judge ruled Galvan had to turn over all but 2,000 emails, which the judge would determine whether they are protected. That ruling is still pending.

MILWAUKEE (AP) -- Vander Blue scored 13 points and played suffocating defense on the Big East's leading scorer to lead Marquette to an 81-71 victory over Providence Saturday in a game delayed several times because of a dive-bombing bat.
Junior Cadougan led Marquette (14-4, 5-1 Big East) with 15 points, and Trent Lockett and Davante Gardner added 13 each as part of a balanced Marquette attack.
Bryce Cotton, who came in averaging 21.9 points per game, led Providence (10-10, 2-6) with 19 hard-earned points. He attempted just nine shots and made five.
The game included several delays in the second half due to a bat circling the arena -- and occasionally swooping to the floor, sending coaches, players and referees scrambling.
Marquette was coming off a 63-61 overtime loss to Cincinnati last Saturday, and four of its first five conference games went to overtime or came down to the last possession.

President Obama spoke to workers at the Argonne National Factory in Illinois today in an effort to encourage Congress to authorize money for clean energy research.
The Commander-in-Chief toured the non-profit research laboratory run by the University of Chicago for the Department of Energy, addressing the effects of the sequester's forced federal budget cuts on research and development.
"I want the next job-creating breakthroughs, whether it's in energy or non-technology or bioengineering," Obama said. "I want those breakthroughs to be right here in the United States of America, creating American jobs and maintaining our technological lead."
Argonne employs more than 1,200 scientists and engineers, who focus in vehicle technology research.

Lowry and Vizquel anticipate return
Starters both making speedy recoveries following surgery
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Good news burst into the Giants clubhouse on Monday morning in the form of left-handed pitcher Noah Lowry and shortstop Omar Vizquel.The Giants' two key players are beginning their rehabs from surgeries and were bouncing around in good spirits. "I'm going dancing tonight," Vizquel declared, a little less than three weeks after undergoing arthroscopic surgery to repair a torn meniscus from his left knee. The Giants' starting shortstop is expected to miss 4-6 weeks. Lowry was practically glowing as he talked about surgery that eased the exertional compartmental syndrome in his left forearm. He could be throwing off flat ground in a little more than a week. "I pray to God this has taken care of the problem I've had," Lowry said. "I'll have an answer to that in April when I'm back throwing off a mound." Because Lowry's surgery did not involve cutting into muscle, he will be able to return to action relatively soon. "I'm keeping my lower half in shape and doing some basic arm movements," said Lowry, who went 14-8 with a 3.92 ERA with the Giants last season. "Hopefully I haven't lost much strength. I worked hard in the offseason to get my body in shape. Right now I've had four or five days off. That's going to set you back a little, but not [back] a month." If everything goes according to plan, Lowry and Vizquel could be making their season debuts at just about the same time. Vizquel's current regimen has him riding a bike and going through balancing drills, dodging balls and testing his lateral movement. He won't put any more pressure on his knee for awhile. "Everything is going all right," he said. "I'm about a week from running." The future Hall of Fame shortstop is coming off a season in which he hit .246, his lowest full-year average since batting .230 with the Seattle Mariners in 1991. The 11-time Gold Glove winner needs to play 14 games to become the all-time leader at shortstop, ahead of Luis Aparicio's 2,583. Vizquel is already the all-time leader with 1,657 double plays as a shortstop.

Greensburg Daily News
Greensburg —
The Greensburg football team advanced to the sectional championship game for a second straight year after a 14-0 shutout of Batesville Friday night at Shriver Field in Greensburg. The Pirates, who led the entire game of the Class 3A Sectional 22 Semifinal, will host Indian Creek Friday at 7 p.m. for the crown.
The final score did not indicate how much control the Pirates exerted over the Bulldogs. The Pirates ran more than twice as many plays and took the wind out of their sails with drive-stopping defense and frequent takeaways.
The home team improved to 9-2 and has tallied the most wins in a season under head coach Scott Moore.
Greensburg kicked off to start the action. Following a Bulldog fumble on the first play from scrimmage, senior Ryan Martin and the offense set the tempo for the rest of the game. After the teams exchanged first-quarter fumbles, the Pirates missed two straight chances to take a lead. A botched field-goal attempt and a turnover on downs at the Bulldog 5 kept the game scoreless. However, the defense was up to the task with an interception and a takeaway on downs.
Junior quarterback Andy Meadows capped a late first-half drive with a 3-yard dive over the goal line, making it 7-0 with senior Riley Billieu's point-after touchdown.
Pirate senior Derek Chambers ended another sustained drive with a 16-yard touchdown. The extra point made it 14-0 with 10:19 left in the fourth. The Pirates went for it on fourth-and-6 from the 23, with Meadows hitting senior Elliott Green for Green's second catch of the night.
The defense ensured its fifth shutout of the season with a fumble recovery by senior Brice Emsweller and an interception by senior Shane Ploeger.
Unofficially, the Pirates ran 63 plays to Batesville's 31. Greensburg gained close to 250 yards on the ground. Martin tallied 161 of those, while Meadows completed three passes for 47 yards, unofficially.
Greensburg has yet to allow a point in the postseason, but the Pirates' offense will pose a challenge for Indian Creek next week. The Braves (9-2) advanced in the other semifinal game, 28-8 over Beech Grove (5-6) to set up a second straight winner-take-all clash with the Pirates. The Braves held off a late Pirate rally for a 20-13 win in the sectional final last season.

taste like all the other pumpkin ales I've had...at least the ones I didn't drain pour....
has the same aroma and taste as your typical pumpkin beer, nothing different or special. I'm starting to think these for the most part all taste the same with the exception of the really gross ones which I pour.
a: perfect, dark brown, cant see threw unless held to the light. has an excellent light khaki brown foamy head
s: burnt malts or barley and some typical nutmeggy/cinnamoness.not getting the vanilla or marshmellowness...? smells the same as a half dozen others I've had except a little more burnt.
taste: meh. same boring pumpkin ale.
o.a. nothing special.

8%ABV. per bottle label.Poured a deep roasted chesnut brown with a thinner light tan colored had atop.Aromas were on the lighter side with some vanilla and mild roast mainly.The flavor of this beer makes it with its complexity and how good it is,lightly roasted with some pie spice but the pumpkin flavor really stands out,a lingering vanilla flavor over top of roast in the finish.I think this beer is vastly underrated,it's complex and flavorful.I think Epic makes some top notch beer,this is top notch for the fall season.Got get some.

22 oz bottle. Pours brown with a medium creamy tan head that quickly diminishes to a thin collar that leaves some lacing.
The aroma is a bit subdued - sweet chocolate malts and some pumpkin and pumpkin spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, all spice).
The flavor is sweet chocolate malts with a little roast and a lot of pumpkin spice (cinnamon, nutmeg, all spice). The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with smooth carbonation.
Overall, a nice pumpkin porter.

3.13/5 rDev -18.3%
Appearance- As brown as a beer can get without being black. Great lacing throughout.
Smell- This is the weak link in the beer. coffee and butterscotch, which is to be expected from a porter. None of the pumpkin or spice comes out.
Taste- The smallest amount of fall spices, but if you didn't know it was a pumpkin porter, you would never tell. Mostly stout-like tastes.
Mouthfeel- Great mouthfeel! A thick and creamy beer that stays on the tongue for about 15 seconds.
Overall- A great tasting beer, but a big let down for being an imperial pumpkin porter. Its worth trying, but don't rush for this one.

Poured cold from the bottle. This beer had a very dark brown/orange colour with minimal head. There smell is that of a subtle pumpkin pie: pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg, and spices. The smell was not as strong as many of the other pumpkin beers. The taste is similar to the smell as a subtle, but not overwhelming, pumpkin flavour hits right away. It then moves to a bitter/smokey aftertaste.
Would I buy it again? Yes.

A nice big glass of Pumpkin Porter, not really the season but damn it's interesting and a collaboration with DC Brau and Epic no less. Pours pitch black maybe light ruby highlights as it pours, dark tan head foaming thick. Aroma bright spice, big fleshy pumpkin gourds, with dark caramelized sugars coating the malts and vegetable additions. Beautiful beer I'm really enjoying the blend of flavors as it warms, fruity/gourd flesh...sugar coated dark roasts mix into a unique and wonderful beer along with light pumpkin spice enjoying every sip. Mouthfeel is a bit thin with even carbonation strong spices left behind between sips. Wonderful roasted malt pumpkin spice blended nicely with a moderate alcohol level, so interesting...I've never had anything else like this quite nice, something I will seek out again in the future.

Release # 4.
This beer is dark brown with a big, rocky medium-brown head that's creamy and frothy yet very dense. Big, sticky lacing is left in pretty heavy deposits on the glass.
The aroma is light but not lacking. It's a good aroma diplaying great balance between the pumpkin and the spices without going too far or stopping too short on either. Spices seem to include the typical nutmeg and cinnamon with something a little leafier and gentler as well as something gently hot but not peppery.
The taste follows suit. It's a very nice, well-balanced and potent flavor, even adding a bit of hoppiness, until a strange thing happens: within just a short time, the pumpkin and spices fade out and I find I'm just drinking a regular porter. I like porters, and it's a good one, but this is not supposed to happen.
The mouthfeel is good, an appropriate medium body with moderate carbonation setting the stage for a fairly thick and creamy brew.

Poured into a pilsner glass, dark roasted amber color with just a bit of head but persistent lacing.
Smell was a bit underwhelming, expected more character here, just a bit of toasted malt and grain and nothing given away to the squash itself.
Taste is malty, subtle peppery but PUMPKIN comes through rich and well balanced with hop. Feels a bit thin in the middle, but left with a wonderful pumpkin aftertaste.
Finishes well, aside from a bit thin mid-mouth taste this beer just hit me right on a fall night with a real chill in the brisk wind. Seemed just about perfect for the occasion and the best pumpkin styled porter I have had.

Poured from the bomber into a snifter. 2012 offering.
The beer pours pitch black and glugs out healthily, leaving a moderate, creamy, khaki colored head. The head appears chewy and persists for quite a while.
The smell is roasted malt, toffee, and hints of bourbon. There is also a strong sweetness, somewhat like molasses or black licorice. The taste is an extension of these aromas, as the sweetness persists, as do the deep roasty malts and toffee. The pumpkin is entirely subtle and only emerges at the end of the palate.
Finally, the beer drinks smoothly with a creamy quality and the alcohol is pretty well masked. A good beer, yet something seems to be missing. I can't place my finger on it, but this beer certainly doesn't quite compete with the best in the business. Good but not great.

DATE TASTED: October 26, 2013... GLASSWARE: HopDevil nonick... OCCASION: offering PSU some comeback inspiration... APPEARANCE: jet black body; oatmeal-thick brown head; lacing is uneven but thick as well... AROMA: crisp, candied flavor; toasted nut and oat undergird thee spiciness that is as much holiday as mischief night...PALATE: slightly warming, medium-bodied and drinkable--the IMPERIAL aspect is so subtle one quickly/nervously sips...TASTE: pumpkin, apple, peat and an odd funk of medicinal/plastic bottle vodka that takes the rating down a click--still big and old...OVERALL: of the handful of fall bombers I bought, this dares to blend the fall and winter seasons, and it does so deftly; a powerful punch of alcohol by the bottle's end only endears the drink more...more the Galloping Hessian than the Great Pumpkin, in terms of its substance and strength...

Batch #1.
Bomber served cold into a pint glass.
Dark brown color with good clarity seen on the pour. Inch thick head is slow to settle and has nice lacing.
Aroma is rich and roasty like a nice porter should be with mild pumpkin pie spice added.
Flavor is very pleasant with just the right amount of spice. It would be good just as a traditional strong porter but the spice adds an additional layer making it a bit more interesting.
It has a creamy smooth mouthfeel and good balance.
Overall a really good imperial porter and a perfect beer for a chilly Halloween night.

Bottle hand-stamped "Release #8, 7.7% ALC./VOL."
Cola-colored with a frothy beige head. Aroma of spice and roasted malts. Balanced, with hints of spice and pumpkin but also more traditional, roasted porter flavors. Vanilla, nutmeg, allspice, cinnamon, ginger and cloves according to the website, and I think I can pick up most of those (definitely the vanilla, allspice and cinnamon). Overall, though, really balanced -- as much porter as pumpkin, which I respect and appreciate. Spiced to enhance flavor, not overpower it. Just really well done and great for a chilly Saturday afternoon.

Brown coloured body with little head. Just spice, perhaps a touch of pumpkin in the finish. Roasted coffee taste. Decent drinkability. Spiced out, pumpkined out. SOme chocolate malt, even more would be interesting but too odd for the style.
And the spices could have been betterMediumm mouthfeel. Liam's bottle.

22 oz bottle into a couple of tulip glasses.
Pours black with a ½ finger of light mocha head. This maintains some rich edges, with robust lacing that clings to the sides of the glass in sticky swathes. The aroma smells of green pumpkin, vanilla, spices, a bit of brown sugar, and some roasted coffee notes along the back. This is pleasant in the nose, with a nice mix of different characters at work here.
The taste is cocoa, roast, and ripe pumpkin flavor, with sweeter notes of vanilla and dark sugars working their way in as well. Earthy hops give this a green and raw feel at times and while not overly aggressive, it does linger a bit on the tongue along with a dry finish of spices and burnt malt. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with a lively and sharp feel up front that then gets a bit smoother along the back. There is some alcohol present but it mostly adds fullness and intensity to the flavors without interfering with them in any way. This one is definitely more of a sipper.
This was solid, being an Imperial Porter with a nice range of flavors and enough of an ABV to help take the chill off a bit. This was a tasty sipper.

Panama City Police have a new addition to its fleet. Thanks to a Port Security Grant the department has received a brand new police vessel that hasn't even touched the waters of the Gulf.
The 21 foot boat is called the "Justice" model by it's manufacturer, and Panama City Police are hoping to provide justice with it's use.
"It's going to be a tremendous help and assistance to us in our functions and duties on the water," said Sergeant Mark Laramore with the Panama City Police Marine Unit. "This is a 100% upgrade. It's a patrol platform, it's the difference between going from a normal passenger car to one of those chargers you might have seen on T. V.
"It is a true police vessel, and it will give us the opportunity to patrol the port, which it was designed for."
The Boston Whaler is fully equipped with a light bar, GPS system and Mercury engine. It also features a removable side door to help with water rescues and lifting debris from the waters. Officers from the department hauled the boat back from the Daytona Beach area yesterday. The manufacturer of the boat, Brunswick, specializes in making boats for military special operations and fire rescue.
The boat will police the waters surrounding the cities jurisdiction, but also protect the port, which is how Panama City was eligible for the grant. Laramore says from here the boat will be fitted with its gizmos and gadgets and unit members will be trained in house on the new boat.
"This boat will be outfitted with additional equipment," said Laramore. "Some sonar equipment that was purchased with the grant funds, some sea burn equipment, some electronic equipment, and of course it will be painted so that people recognize it as a police vessel.
"And then it will be deployed."
Sergeant Laramore says after the boat is inspected and unit members are trained in house the boat should see the salty water of the Gulf in a few months.

Employment and Training Administration:
Increased Authority and Accountability Could Improve Research Program
GAO-10-243: Published: Jan 29, 2010. Publicly Released: Jan 29, 2010.
Additional Materials:

(202) 512-4800
With current rising unemployment rates and the need for a more skilled workforce, it is important for the Department of Labor's (Labor) Employment and Training Administration (ETA) to invest in sound research that identifies the most effective and efficient ways to train and employ workers for 21st century jobs. While ETA traditionally has played an important role in providing job training, employment assistance, and labor market information for the nation's workers, the current unemployment crisis has made this role more critical. The Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates that jobless rates have increased over the past year in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. In particular, several states have reported unemployment rates well over 10 percent. As ETA's new leadership works to help the nation meet these economic challenges, it must have solid information that is supported by sound research to guide decision-making. Since 2002, GAO and others have criticized ETA for not focusing sufficient attention on its research program, particularly with regard to complying with congressional mandates, conducting policy-relevant research, and disseminating key research findings in a timely way. In this context, we have examined the structure and processes of ETA's research and evaluation center in terms of the elements that leading national research organizations cite as essential to a sound program; that is, research independence, transparency and accountability, and policy relevance. Based on these elements, we addressed the following questions: (1) How does ETA's organizational structure provide for research independence? (2) What steps has ETA taken to promote transparency and accountability in its research program? (3) How does ETA ensure that its research is relevant to workforce development policy and practice?
In summary, we found that ETA's research center lacks independent authority for research, has limitations with regard to transparency and accountability processes, has not routinely involved stakeholders in developing its research agenda, and has been slow to evaluate the programs and activities carried out under the Workforce Investment Act of 1998 (WIA). (1) ETA is currently in the process of revising its organizational structure. Previously, its research and evaluation center, within the Office of Policy Development and Research (OPDR), was several levels removed from the Office of the Assistant Secretary and lacked independent authority for conducting research. Under ETA's revised structure, it is unclear whether OPDR will report directly to the Assistant Secretary or the Deputy Assistant Secretary. Furthermore, unlike the heads of some other research and evaluation centers, the head of ETA's research and evaluation center does not have the authority to set the research agenda, to approve requests for funded projects, or to disseminate research and evaluation reports. (2) While ETA has recently made improvements to its research program, some limitations remain with regard to its accountability processes and timely dissemination of research products. In 2007, ETA documented all stages of its research process from project selection to dissemination. ETA also began coordinating its research process with the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and renewed its practice of sponsoring biennial research conferences to address a range of policy and program issues. Despite these recent changes, ETA's research processes lack specificity, including specific time frames for key milestones and an established criteria for peer review. In addition, ETA's research program lacks an information system to track its research from completion to dissemination and does not have a mechanism to ensure that research findings are disseminated in a timely manner. In 2008, ETA disseminated 34 research products to the public. However, 20 of these products, which had a combined cost of about $28 million, were delayed for between 2 and 5 years. (3) Labor, consistent with recent efforts of OMB, has taken steps to emphasize the value of research and evaluation, but ETA does not have sufficient mechanisms to ensure that its research can inform policy decisions. OMB currently has efforts underway to help agencies to enhance their research and evaluation programs. Labor also announced plans to create a position of chief evaluation officer and a new evaluation center within the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Policy to foster research relevant to policy. However, ETA has been slow to comply with a congressional mandate to evaluate WIA1 and it also lacks a standard process and advisory bodies to consistently involve stakeholders in the development of its research agenda. Similarly, ETA has no formal process in place to ensure that research findings are used to inform strategic planning and policy.
Status Legend:
- Review Pending
- Open
- Closed - implemented
- Closed - not implemented
Recommendations for Executive Action
Recommendation: Concerning the structure and processes of ETA's research and evaluation center, the Secretary of Labor should create an information system to track research projects.
Agency Affected: Department of Labor
Status: Open
Comments: Education and Training Administration (ETA) is planning to implement a centralized tracking system for its research projects. However, the time frames for implementing this system are unclear. In FY2012, ETA reported that it is still determining how to develop the centralized tracking system for its research and evaluation projects. Labor did not provide an update in FY2013. When this system is implemented, GAO will be consider this recommendation implemented.
Recommendation: Concerning the structure and processes of ETA's research and evaluation center, the Secretary of Labor should direct ETA's research and evaluation center to establish more specific processes, including time frames for dissemination of research.
Agency Affected: Department of Labor
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: The Education and Training Administration (ETA) has developed dissemination procedures for reviewing and finalizing reports. In addition, they have added specific timeframes for dissemination to the performance standards for Federal Project Officers who oversee the research. In FY12, ETA provided a copy of these performance standards.
Recommendation: Concerning the structure and processes of ETA's research and evaluation center, the Secretary of Labor should provide sufficient decision-making authority to ETA's research and evaluation center regarding its research.
Agency Affected: Department of Labor
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: In the spring of 2010, the Department of Labor (DOL) established a new Chief Evaluation Officer position within their Office of the Assistant Secretary for Policy. The Chief Evaluation Officer's job is to coordinate department-wide evaluation efforts, however, it is unclear to what extent the Chief Evaluation Officer's position within the department interacts with Education and Training Administration's (ETA) research and evaluation center and to what extent the Chief Evaluation Officer has responsibilities to ETA's research. In FY12, ETA reported that it formally incorporated the routine involvement of the CEO into its research process (this also addresses GAO's recommendation in GAO-11-285). Such routine involvement has included: reviewing select research, demonstration and evaluation statements of work; discussing select research and evaluation methodologies with ETA and OMB; discussing, on a monthly basis, on-going ETA research and evaluation projects; participating in meetings with grantees involved in major research demonstrations to help explain the importance of rigorous evaluations; and providing input on how to best incorporate research in ETA's Solicitations for Grant Applications (SGAs). In the coming year, ETA plans to reflect the existing collaboration in its formal research process documentation. For example, the plan will be updated to document the involvement of the CEO at critical research milestones including the agenda setting phase where research, demonstration and evaluation priorities are determined, the conceptualization and design phase, the procurement phase, the implementation phase, and the review and dissemination phases.
Recommendation: Concerning the structure and processes of ETA's research and evaluation center, the Secretary of Labor should take steps to ensure that ETA clarifies its organizational structure and OPDR reports directly to ETA's Assistant Secretary.
Agency Affected: Department of Labor
Status: Open
Comments: In an organizational chart from August of 2009, the Education and Training Administration's (ETA) Office of Policy Development and Research (OPDR) reported to a Deputy Assistant Secretary who reported to ETA's Assistant Secretary. This was changed in November 2009 to a structure where OPDR reported directly to the Assistant Secretary. However, as of April 2010, OPDR reported to a Deputy Assistant secretary who reports to ETA's Assistant Secretary. In FY12, ETA reported that in its organizational chart, dated May 2011, OPDR still reports to a Deputy Assistant Secretary who reports to ETA's Assistant Secretary (http://www.doleta.gov/pdf/OrgChart.pdf). This structure remains the same in ETA's July 31, 2013 organizational chart. GAO will close this recommendation when clarifies its structure in some way, such as updating the organizational chart. Labor did not provide an update on its actions for FY13.
Recommendation: Concerning the structure and processes of ETA's research and evaluation center, the Secretary of Labor should instruct ETA's research and evaluation center to develop processes to involve outside experts in setting its research agenda.
Agency Affected: Department of Labor
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: In preparing its new research agenda, the Education and Training Administration (ETA) hosted a series of consultations with external stakeholders and has informally engaged in dialogues with outside research and program experts. In FY12, ETA reported that it had taken steps to engage outside experts more fully in setting its research agenda. Specifically, the agency: 1) included outside experts in the development of its five-year research plan (research agenda); 2) formed advisory and peer review groups for major evaluations; 3) developed, with the Coalition for Evidence-Based Policy, the capability to conduct peer reviews on an ad hoc basis; and 4) had the CEO, who is in DOL but independent of ETA, also review reports. In addition, ETA is collecting and synthesizing feedback from a variety of sources for developing its five-year research plan (research agenda) including input received from experts and workforce system practitioners at ETA's conferences, and feedback solicited from stakeholders in the workforce community. ETA also plans to analyze public comments that it will solicit when the draft plan is announced in the Federal Register and posted on the ETA web site. ETA also reported that it strengthened its collaboration with other federal agency experts at the Departments of Education and Health and Human Services in planning and carrying out research and evaluation studies. ETA plans to continue engaging outside experts in developing research policies and processes. Within the coming year, ETA also plans to reflect such engagement in its formal research processes. ETA formally incorporated the routine involvement of outside experts in its research process, as indicated in its response to a related GAO report on its research efforts(GAO-11-285).

First biosimilar insulin to receive CHMP positive opinion in the EU
INDIANAPOLIS and RIDGEFIELD, Conn., June 27, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- The Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) today issued a positive opinion recommending approval for the investigational compound LY2963016, a new insulin glargine product, for the treatment of type 1 and type 2 diabetes. The new insulin glargine product from Eli Lilly and Company (NYSE: LLY) and Boehringer Ingelheim is the first biosimilar insulin recommended for approval in the European Union (EU).
Lilly/BI's insulin glargine is a basal insulin, which is intended to provide long-lasting blood sugar control between meals and at night, an integral part of glycemic control.1 It has the same amino acid sequence as Lantus® (insulin glargine) and was filed through the European Medicines Agency's (EMA) biosimilar pathway.
As the term is a regulatory designation, Lilly/BI's insulin glargine is considered a biosimilar in some regions, including Europe, but not in others, including the United States.
"The CHMP's recommendation brings us a step closer to providing an important new option for the millions of patients in the EU who need basal insulin to help manage their diabetes," said Enrique Conterno, president, Lilly Diabetes. "This first-ever biosimilar insulin to receive a positive CHMP recommendation underscores Lilly and Boehringer Ingelheim's commitment to providing physicians and patients high-quality diabetes medicines, along with expertise and support tools they need to help manage the disease."
The CHMP's recommendation is based on the companies' non-clinical and clinical development program, which included pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic studies, as well as Phase III studies in patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes. The European Commission's final decision is expected in approximately two months. If approved for marketing authorisation, Lilly/BI's insulin glargine would be the fourth diabetes product in the Lilly-Boehringer Ingelheim Diabetes Alliance to receive regulatory approval in the EU.
Lilly has been manufacturing insulin since 1923, and remains committed to innovation in insulin therapy, introducing many insulin products and delivery devices in the last nine decades. This history gives Lilly extensive expertise, insights and knowledge in the insulin space, enabling it to provide high quality medicine to diabetes patients worldwide.
