Observer goes daily
Date: April 30, 2009
by: The Observer Staff
Nope, this is not an April Fools' joke … just a May Day launch of The Sarasota Observer's newly updated Web site, YourObserver.com.
Starting Friday, the new
YourObserver.com will offer viewers daily news and information on our redesigned Web site. We think you'll find it clean, attractive and easy to navigate.
Of course, The Sarasota Observer will still produce its print edition each week, but we are moving into daily and breaking news reporting on our Web site. Readers will have immediate access to news from all three
Observer coverage areas — Longboat Key, Sarasota and East County.
Readers essentially get three Web sites in one, because each newspaper is represented with its own distinct "front page" and features unique to each publication. In addition to daily and breaking news, viewers will have access to daily and weekly blogs, expanded information and many more photos of your favorite neighborhood events.
You'll still be able to keep up with what's going on in society circles with the expanded Black Tie section on the Web site. Photos of your friends at these social events will still be available for viewing, sharing and for purchase. Plus, keep your calendar up to date with the Black Tie Social Calendar — submit your own event and upload dates to your Outlook calendar.
YourObserver.com has also entered the social-media world with new Facebook pages. Each Observer newspaper has its own Facebook page, so be sure to add us as your friend. You can also follow us on Twitter to get up-to-the-minute news coverage and links to breaking stories.
As we move into providing daily content to our Web-site viewers, our objectives remain the same — to provide our readers in print and online with news and information that is local, trustworthy and relevant — for and about you, your neighbors and your neighborhood.
Spearheading The Observers' ventures into multimedia are Emily Walsh Parry as associate publisher/multimedia (email@example.com) and Tim Epperson as Web editor (email@example.com). If you have comments or suggestions, please give them your feedback.
They'd love to hear from you.
Check out the new YourObserver.com May 1. For tips on navigating and accessing the Web site, please turn to pages 14 and 15.
We hope you enjoy your new source for local, daily news.

The start of March means spring weather is not too far away, but with the warmer temperatures often comes severe thunderstorms. Severe Weather Awareness Week, which kicked off March 2, is an opportunity for Ohioans to go over their disaster plan and prepare an emergency kit.
On Wednesday, a statewide drill was conducted to test all Ohio emergency sirens at 9:50 a.m. Schools also took the test as an opportunity to practice tornado drills.
Two Lucas County outdoor warning sirens failed the test. According to emergency management officials, sirens in Swanton Township and south Toledo along the Anthony Wayne Trail failed.
EMA Director Matthew Heyrman said the siren in south Toledo seems to be functioning and it could have been a communication failure.
Now, officials will follow up on the report in Swanton with a test to determine what may have caused the siren to fail.

Coalition bid to cut childcare bill
7:47am Tuesday 29th January 2013 in Lewisham © Press Association
NURSERIES and childminders will be allowed to look after more children as part of coalition efforts to cut childcare costs.
Staff are to be able to take charge of six two-year-olds rather than four while the ratio for under-ones will go up from three to four.
Education minister Liz Truss is to outline the changes, which have been criticised as lowering standards, as part of reforms that will see higher qualifications required of those caring for pre-schoolers.
However, ministers have still not finalised a much heralded wider shake-up of childcare funding and tax breaks.
Britain has some of the highest childcare costs in the world, meaning many mothers with two or more children find it does not make financial sense to work.
Ms Truss will tell an event at the Policy Exchange think-tank that the Government wants to introduce graduate-level Early Years teachers.
An Early Years Educator qualification will also be created, requiring practical experience and at least a C grade in English and maths GCSE.
But she is to insist that better wages are needed to improve the system in England, pointing out that nursery staff only earn £6.60 per hour on average.
Hailing the example of France, Ms Truss will say that easing rules on ratios can give nurseries the "headroom to pay higher salaries". "We have learned from other countries that deliver better-value and better-quality childcare," she will say.
Ofsted's director of early childhood, Sue Gregory, said: "Ofsted welcomes the Government's proposals to drive up further the quality of early education and childcare.
"We particularly welcome plans to introduce more rigorous training and qualifications for those working with young children.
"Sir Michael Wilshaw will be making an announcement in the spring about how Ofsted plans to drive up standards in the early years sector through its inspection and improvement activity, particularly in the most deprived areas."

Presumably in more sensible countries they don't send mothers out to call centres, when they could be looking after their kids at home.
I certainly remember that when I lived in the Netherlands that mothers with children were hit with a quite severe tax (not that I approve of taxes, even if they are derogated).
It had the desired effect though, and mothers spent those few short years at home... Whilst working women, had no such problem, they were in the market-place just like the men.

text: The Saints open the season Sunday at the Superdome and fans are unveiling the latest in Black and Gold fashion. The Who Dat Nation has broken out their gear today at work, at school and everywhere else around the Crescent City, and women especially continue to be even more creative as local retailers offer every way imaginable to display your Saints pride. As I spoke to fans in the CBD, a woman told me about a store that makes Saints bikinis which is now getting into blinging out clear purses to comply with new NFL stadium rules. "They they have a gold chain on them with a fleur de lis and another has black fringe." These women are getting more and more creative with their outfits, whether they're going to the game or not. "I have earrings, I have pins, I fleur de lis sunglasses of course, anything Saints related," as one fan explained. Even though they're starting to flaunt some of the fashions today, many save the really extraordinary items for game day, like flashy headbands featuring lots of bling, feathers and fleurs de lis. Another woman says, "I have about 20 T-shirts to choose from and jerseys and hats and jewelry and shoes. Those are homemade shoes painted up with fleur dis lis everywhere and all they're numbers. They're ridiculous!" Guys on the other hand tend to stick with the same old T-shirts, jerseys and jackets to display their Saints pride.

Falcons QB Matt Ryan's season has had some tremendous peaks and valleys.
He was a model of consistency, holding the top spot on the MVP Meter for about two months from September to November, but his stock took a big hit in Week 11 with a five-interception performance against the Cardinals. A loss at Carolina a few weeks later certainly didn't help matters.
While he has not reestablished himself as our front-runner, Ryan has bounced back into the MVP conversation over the past couple weeks, throwing seven touchdown passes and zero interceptions in back-to-back lopsided wins over the Giants and Lions, helping the Falcons clinch the No. 1 seed in the NFC.
Ryan is one of only four quarterbacks with more than nine starts (the Alex Smith-excluding qualifier) and a passer rating of better than 100 (Ryan's is 100.2). His completion percentage (again, excluding Smith from the conversation) is a league-best 69.0.
The Falcons have relied on Ryan in a season in which their running game has rarely been very effective, and he has proven to be up to the challenge. The few blemishes on his track record this season stand out when placed next to those of Aaron Rodgers and Peyton Manning, and that will cost Ryan when it comes time for MVP voters to make their decision. He has earned their consideration, though.
(Last week's ranking in parentheses)
1. Packers QB Aaron Rodgers (No. 1) — Rodgers is staying put on the Meter after matching a season-high with 342 yards passing in Green Bay's rout of the Titans at Lambeau Field. He threw three TDs and ran in another — his second rushing TD in the past three games. Rodgers is the league's highest-rated passer (106.2). He is only ninth in the league in passing yards (3,930), but don't forget about the plays he has made with his legs (54 rushes for 259 yards) and his ability to overcome injuries to his supporting cast.
2. Broncos QB Peyton Manning (No. 2) — Manning is the leader for the MVP award in the minds of many keen NFL observers, but aside from passing yards, Manning has not built a significant edge over Rodgers in any of the major statistical categories, and Manning has had his tremendous season with a mostly healthy group of targets, a Pro Bowl left tackle and a better group of backs than Green Bay's. Rodgers has had to do a little bit more with a little bit less, and that's why Manning is firmly second on the Meter.
3. Falcons QB Matt Ryan (No. 6) — Another example of just how hot Ryan has been recently — Saturday against the Lions he came close to breaking the record for consecutive completions. Ryan completed his first 12 passes at Detroit after completing his last 10 vs. the Giants in Week 15, but the streak ended at 22, just two short of matching the record that Donovan McNabb set in 2004 (24).
4. Texans DE J.J. Watt (No. 3) — The Texans' offense disappeared in Week 16, but Watt led a decent defensive effort by Houston in a loss to the Vikings. Watt, the league's most dominant defensive player, recorded one sack, retaking the league lead with 20½, and helped keep RB Adrian Peterson relatively quiet. He also forced a fumble for the fourth consecutive game.
5. Vikings RB Adrian Peterson (No. 4) — Peterson finally cooled off in Week 16, but the Vikings didn't in a win over the Texans. His streak of games with 100-plus yards ended at eight at Houston. Note that the Vikings have defeated playoff teams (the Texans and 49ers) in games where Peterson was not hugely productive, rushing 25-86-0 in both contests.
6. Patriots QB Tom Brady (No. 5) — He has squandered the bump he received after his stellar showing vs. the Texans in Week 14 with un-Brady-like games in the past two weeks, throwing two picks in each game. Brady appeared primed to be a top contender along with Manning and Rodgers a little more than a week ago, but he has had a passer rating of 74.8 or worse in three of the past four games.
7. Seahawks QB Russell Wilson (No. 7) — Though only one spot separates Wilson from Brady on the meter, there is a big drop-off from the decorated veteran to the impressive rookie. Brady has thrown for 1,700 more yards and seven more TDs with two fewer interceptions. We know Wilson is a much more productive rusher, but that still doesn't make up the difference between these two.
8. Redskins QB Robert Griffin III (Cusp) — After missing Week 15 with a knee injury, RG3 returned and threw two TD passes and a pick in Washington's win over the Eagles. The fact that the Redskins won comfortably without him in Week 15 hurt his MVP stock, but there is a reason the team was itching to get him back on the field.
9. Seahawks RB Marshawn Lynch (No. 9) — Lynch remained in Beast Mode vs. San Francisco, rushing for 100-plus yards for the third consecutive game. After scoring two TDs against the 49ers, Lynch has scored seven times in the past four games (all Seattle wins).
10. Broncos LB Von Miller (Cusp) — Miller recorded 1½ sacks in Denver's win over Cleveland, so he might still have an outside shot at the 2012 sack title if Watt does not go off vs. the Colts earlier in the day. Miller trails Watt by three and 49ers OLB Aldon Smith by two.
On the cusp (in alphabetical order): Bengals DT Geno Atkins, Texans RB Arian Foster, Bengals WR A.J. Green, Lions WR Calvin Johnson, Colts QB Andrew Luck, Bears WR Brandon Marshall, 49ers OLB Aldon Smith, Colts WR Reggie Wayne.

Inside the Gouffre de Padirac (#1)
The Padirac Chasm or Gouffre de Padirac is a cave located near Gramat, in the Lot département, in France.
The chasm itself is approximately 99 m (325 ft) around its rim with a diameter of approximately 35 metres (115 ft). Visitors descend 75 m via a lift or a staircase before entering the cave system. The cave, at a depth of 103 metres (338 ft), contains a subterranean river system that is partly negotiable by boat. This cave system is regarded as "one of the most extraordinary natural phenomena of the Massif Central".
The chasm was created at an undetermined point in time when the roof collapsed into a large internal cavern. It is known that the cavern existed in the 3rd century, and was inhabited during the 15th and 16th centuries during which time Potassium nitrate was excavated from the area.
The cave was first explored, in 1889, by Édouard-Alfred Martel. Much of the credit for opening the cave system is owed to Guy de Lavaur (1903–1986), who came to Padirac in 1938 and managed to penetrate 15 km (9.3 mi) of the passages.
The shot was taken in august 2012, in the beginning of the evening. Panorama made in HDR version (enfuse).

France is affectionately referred to as "the Hexagon" for its overall shape.
French history goes back to the Gauls, a Celtic tribe which inhabited the area circa 300BC until being conquered by Julius Caesar.
The Franks were the first tribe to adopt Catholic Christianity after the Roman Empire collapsed. France became an independent location in the Treaty of Verdun in (843 AD), which divided up Charlemagne's Carolingian Empire into several portions.
The French monarchy reached its zenith during the reign of Louis XIV, the Sun King, who stood for seventy-two years as the Monarch of all Monarchs. His palace of Versailles and its Hall of Mirrors are a splendid treasure-trove of Baroque art.
The French Revolution ended the rule of the monarchy with the motto "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity!" On July 14th, 1789 angry mobs stormed La Bastille prison and began the Revolution in which Louis XVI, his wife Marie-Antoinette and thousands of others met the guillotine.
One decade after the revolution, Napolean Bonaparte seized control of the Republic and named himself Emperor. His armies conquered most of Europe and his Napoleonic Code became a lasting legal foundation for concepts of personal status and property.
During the period of colonization France controlled the largest empire in the world, second only to Britain.
France is one of the founding members of the European Union and the United Nations, as well as one of the nuclear armed nations of the world.

His research interests are in individual decision-making -- how decisions are made and how they can be aided. Of particular interest is the role of uncertainty in decision-making -- how we can capture individuals' judgments of uncertainty, how we can evaluate the quality of such judgments, and how uncertainty does and should impact our decisions. His teaching interests include the use of desktop technology to support decision-making, and the application of psychological and decision theory to the practice of management.

Let's be realistic. Does your graduate really need another electronic toy? A newer edition will likely be available in a few months anyway. To help young adults prepare for a future of financial stability, I suggest you forgo traditional graduation gifts and buy them a present that will give back -- a portfolio of stocks that offer dividend reinvestment plans (DRIPs). With this gift, the graduate can start off with a long-term investment strategy that costs little to start, but will result in real wealth over the long term. Here are five DRIP stocks that make up a well-diversified portfolio perfect for long term accumulation.
First. . . What is a DRIP exactly?
A dividend reinvestment plan, more commonly known as a DRIP, is an investment vehicle that allows a shareholder to invest directly in a company - without going through a broker. There are more than 1,000 different companies that offer DRIPs, including 3M, Foot Locker, Dr Pepper Snapple, General Mills, and Johnson & Johnson - to name just a few that your child may know and use. Plans are easily opened with a single share of the company stock. After that, investments can be as little as $25 or as much as $10,000 or more. Read More
These DRIP companies met our screens for certain attributes (described within) and our standards for long-term accumulation.
Patient long-term investors will amass wealth by following the simple strategy that direct investment plans (DRIPs) make accessible to almost everyone.
Assuming a 10% average return over the long term, see how much your assets can grow over the years.

As you begin your journey into investing directly through DRIPs, you'll want to refer to this site for the latest information about the operations of the plans as well as for assistance to help you get started.
We are constantly updating the site with new information, so you may want to make it one of your "favorites."
Search for DRIPs gives you basic information about every company that offers direct investing. Subscribers can screen based on industry, dividend yields, fees, and many other important criteria.
You can read capsule reviews of companies that offer plans. And you can use the investing strategies we've uncovered to maximize the advantages of DRIP investing.
Print form (or online at Order DRIP)
You can use this site to enter orders for DRIP enrollments.
The enrollment service provided here transfers shares in the customer's name (which is a requirement to join a DRIP).
In general, traditional brokers will buy shares for customers and hold them in "street name" (the broker's name).
The results of making regular investments into a diversified group of companies through the company DRIP have proved to be superior over every time period for the past 25 years.
With the ability to diversify and invest periodically (without fees), small individual investors can have a better chance of success than large institutional investors.
We've discovered that, in general, the uncertainty of markets makes it more rewarding to

I hadn't had a beer from New Holland in quite some time but all of the ones that I enjoyed previously were well worth the money I spent on them, and this was no exception. The balance was great, the mouthfeel addictive, and the alcohol was well-hidden. The hardest part of reviewing this was pacing myself to ensure that I had some left by the time I finished writing this!

A: The beer is hazy yellow in color. It poured with a short white head that died down, leaving wispy lacing on the surface and a partial collar around the edge of the glass.
S: Sweet aromas of candi sugars are present in the nose along with hints of Belgian yeast and bananas.
T: Like the smell, the taste is relatively sweet from the strong body of candi sugars and also has notes of bananas. Hints of bubble gum are noticeable in the finish.
M: It feels medium-bodied on the palate and has a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This beer seems to be rather sweet for the style but hides its alcohol a rather well from the taste.

Appearance: 1/4 inch head, hazy, gold in color, moderate carbonation
Smell: peaches and citrus
Taste: sweet apple, pineapple, yeast, and Belgian spices
Mouthfeel: sweet with a funkiness, heavy bodied with medium-low carbonation
Overall: A nice and citrusy tripel. I would not mind trying this one with a bit of aging. Tasty, but I have had better in the style. Certainly worth a try, but I will reach for other favorites first.

$ 2.59/12 oz bottle at Lager Mill
2013 vintage bottle at 50 degrees into snifter
Aroma of spice and some yeast phenolics
Head average (4 cm), off white, creamy with medium rocks, rapidly diminishing to a broken layer 2 – 4 mm thick
Lacing excellent – semi-complete rings up to 1 cm wide consisting primarily of small bubbles
Body golden with slight haze
Flavor begins with yeast-based phenolics and rapidly gives way to an almost peppery spiciness. Was that a hint of banana woven into the slight alcohol taste? No hops, no diacetyl.
Palate light to medium, watery, lively carbonation.

A: Pours a light golden yellow with one finger fluffy white head. Nice lacing.
S: A mix of yeast esters with fruity banana and spices.

M: Medium body with a nice creamy finish.
O: An excellent Tripel. I wish this was in my normal distribution.

A- Dark hazy orange minor effervescent lacing
S- Fruit and more fruit, Smells like apples plums and dark fruit. The smell of this beer is one of the best ive ever had the pleasure to whiff.
T- Much like the smell this beer really shines with lots of great fruit flavors of apples and raisin/plum. Also a strong black pepper that lingers on the tongue. Finishes with a hint of Banana (which I may not have picked up on if the bottle didn't point it out) and a strong boozy after taste.
M - Mouth feel is very solid as well crisp and clean finish spot on for the style.
0 - Really a great beer that exceeded my expectations. A fantastic triple which is closer to a belgian triple than most of the American triples. My only criticism of this beer is that it only does a decent job of hiding the high ABV. I have had beers in the 9 and 10 Percent range that have done a much better job.

I am huge fan of Belgian. I love when American brewers like Ommegang, New Holland, Allagash, Green Flash Rayon Verte - do it. This one does it at a much lower price that Trappiste.
A: Pours a cloudy orange/gold color, with a large foamy white head that fades too fast but leaves a modest lace.
S: Aroma is full of citrus, apples, bananas, Belgian yeast, light malts, late fall orchard, spice and a touch of grassy hops.
T: The taste follows the smell and gets better. It is nicely balanced, starting with sweet flavors of apples and citrus followed by the bready Belgian yeast and a creamy malt character. There's some spice, hops, grass, and a lovely clean long finish. Tingly. The alcohol is subtle. The after taste is complementary to cheese, dessert.
M: Smooth, crisp, medium body & carbonation, slightly tacky finish.
D: Very flavorful, lovely, complex, meditation brew. Must try.
Enjoyed again with Sheeps mile cheese and cheddar, some fruit. Perfect pairing and finale of evening (after Super Moon kayak).

The momentum picked up, and both teams exchanged scores, before tying the game at 14. Down 8-6 in the 4th quarter, the Badgers orchestrated an electric comeback that included 15 points.
Following this Area-Round victory in the 2A Div. I Region I bracket, the Badgers could face a familiar foe in Wall next week. The Hawks (9-1) play Bushland on Saturday in Snyder.

FALL RIVER (AP) - A Fall River soda maker is closing after nearly six decades in business.
Frosty Beverages owner Eddie Abdow said he cried as he typed the New Year's Day announcement on Facebook that he was closing the business founded by his grandfather 59 years ago.
The 49-year-old Abdow tells The Herald News (http://bit.ly/UKzfhE ) that balancing two full-time jobs while also wrangling with expensive machinery repairs and rising production costs led to the decision. He is also a teacher at a city middle school.
Abdow says he expects to close the plant within a month, sell the machinery and then repair the building for rent or lease.
He says customers are welcome to stop by and pick up sodas with flavors including strawberry and pineapple, but he's going to keep some for himself.

PEORIA, Ill. -- Thursday night at the Ballpark, they were aiming to strike out more than just the visiting opponent across the plate.
It was "Strike out Stroke" night at Dozer Park.
With the help of the "MEGA" brain, the event travels to different ball parks to spread awareness about stroke, its risk factors, and symptoms.
Organizer Jan Jahnel says it is important not just for those of old age to be informed about strokes, but those of all ages.
"Targeting youth is very important," said Jahnel. "A lot of times they are the ones that are with their parents or their grandparents, and they see things. And it is important for them to know what the signs and symptoms are, how to do a fast exam, and what to do if those things are positive, and how important it is to call 911."
Also as part of the event, 5th grader DJ Rodgers was flown in by the OSF life flight helicopter to deliver the first pitch.
DJ was the winner of a stroke poster contest that was participated in by more than 30 classes locally.

Firm continues rapid growth; expands into Philadelphia, San Francisco Bay Area, and Washington, D.C.
DALLAS, June 18, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Civitas Capital Group ("Civitas"), a specialty asset management and financial services firm with operating divisions focused on Alternative Investments, EB-5 Capital and Wealth Management, today announced that United States Citizen and Immigration Services ("USCIS") has approved the establishment of three new EB-5 Regional Centers covering Northern California, Philadelphia, and Washington, D.C.
These new Regional Centers will facilitate substantial and valuable economic development at essentially no cost to taxpayers in three key economic regions in the country. The Regional Centers will seek foreign investors to fund a variety of investments, including real estate, infrastructure and healthcare.
"We've expanded rapidly outside of Texas this year," said Civitas' Chief Executive Officer Dan Healy. "Civitas has become one of the leading providers of EB-5 investment opportunities offering international investors a strong selection of prospective investments across the U.S."
The new EB-5 Regional Centers will provide economic development opportunities in the following communities:
"Regional Centers take a significant amount of work to manage properly, so we've been extremely selective in the development process," continued Healy. "We seek out markets where our partners have an established track record and where we see opportunity to build on our already close relationships with key project sponsors. At the same time, we look to uncover investment opportunities that are powerful and compelling to the global investors that we serve. This strategy is working and I'm really excited about the momentum we've built during the first half of the year."
A Regional Center is an economic entity, public, private or a hybrid of both, established to promote economic growth, improve regional productivity, create jobs and increase domestic capital investment. Congress created the EB-5 Regional Center Program in 1992, facilitating residency applications for foreign nationals willing to invest significant capital in the United States to create permanent, high-quality jobs.
Through its EB-5 Capital division, Civitas is the manager of 13 Regional Centers throughout the United States, which have funded or are in the process of providing hundreds of millions of dollars of EB-5 capital to a range of projects. The projects have created thousands of jobs in the communities where they are located. Earlier this year, Civitas secured approval to operate Regional Centers in Atlanta, Denver, Miami and New York City. The company is the exclusive EB-5 partner for several Texas cities, including Dallas, Fort Worth, Laredo, and El Paso.

Sixty years ago, pondering the question of an unruly populace, the German playwright Bertolt Brecht mused, "Would it not be easier / In that case, for the government / To dissolve the people / And elect another?"
It was a rare piece of ironic criticism of East Germany's communist regime for Brecht, since he usually supported it. But after the regime's suppression of a workers' revolt in 1953, he spoke out. It's one of his most famed observations, trotted out whenever a populace is ungrateful enough to vote "against their own good."
European Union politicians can sympathize. They've labored for six decades to fashion a union that was supposed to end wars and greatly expand economic markets, not to mention bring former communist states into freedom.
Yet the European people, instead of gratitude, now strain against an institution over which they have little direct say. In one of several recent books that express pessimism over the future of the euro currency, The Fall of the Euro, Jens Nordvig, the head of currency strategy at Nomura Securities, puts it bluntly: "The economic need for further integration is clashing with public sentiment, increasingly opposed to handing over additional functions to European officials." Nordvig's pessimism derives from the view that the politicians cannot ensure the EU's political support, not that the authorities can't manage the mechanics of the euro.
The British economist and commentator David Marsh is marginally less categorical in his new book, Europe's Deadlock. He thinks the euro currency may survive, but shrink in footprint. He saw firsthand how skeptical the Germans had become when he took part in a debate in Hamburg in 2009. The audience believed that the euro was irreversible. But when faced with the question of who'd pay for it, the previous majority who had thought that the euro would last forever melted into a small minority.

Eileen Fisher Cotton & Linen Ribbed Face Cloths 87 87
Love these towels! I absolutely love these towels! They are substantial but not overly thick, which means they are easy to use. I especially love the slightly rough feel of the linen, which is very invigorating when drying off! I have a full set of the oyster grey towels and face clothes, and they go perfectly with the grey tile in my bathroom. August 21, 2014
best towels!! these towels have a wonderful color quality and are the softest, but still absorbant. love them and can't wait to order more! May 31, 2014
Delighted with these I bought the bath sheet and the hand towel in oyster. I like the size of the hand towel to wash and dry my face. It dries more quickly than any I have gotten before. I really do not like thick towels that stay damp on the rack. These are softer than I expected. I am a person who actually likes a rough towel. But I am so happy about their drying quickly that I don't care that they don't feel more linen-y. I would of course prefer the cotton portion to be organic cotton and assume it is not since it isn't specified...This oyster color goes very well with Eileen Fisher organic cotton towels I purchased previously. I like the oyster color. I do not like dark color towels but am enjoying having this medium neutral shade to go with my lighter color ones. May 1, 2014
Eileen Fisher Cotton & Linen Ribbed Towles Beautiful clean look and soft to the touch. The white is simple and looks contemporary. March 31, 2014
Best Ever for Picky User Texture and absorbency and size super superior ... March 22, 2014
My new favorite towels! These towels are both absorbent and quick drying. The ribbed texture and linen content allow for an exfoliating rubdown, but are not too rough on delicate skin. As with most towels, it takes a few washes to get rid of the excess lint. Although pricey, I got them on sale and will be adding to my collection! February 7, 2014

GREENSBORO — The best season in the young history of Cleveland girls soccer came to a close Wednesday night in the third round of the class 3A state playoffs amid a flurry of Northern Guilford goals.
The Rams, who had advanced to the playoffs in each of their first three seasons but never made it past the first round, fell behind early against the Nighthawks and never recovered in an 8-0 loss.
Northern Guilford, the East No. 3 seed, scored in the third minute of the game and was ahead 3-0 by the midway point of the first half.
"It's definitely frustrating," second-year Cleveland coach Marissa DiMarco said. "They wanted it more tonight than us and it showed. They were a very good team, very well coached. You could tell they all played club, they played together. They had speed, skill, they were the total package."
Northern Guilford (18-2 and champion of the Mid-State Conference), which had outscored its first two playoffs opponents by a combined 15-0 score, jumped on top on a goal by Nicole Bracey just over two minutes into the game. The Nighthawks went ahead 2-0 in the 13th minute and never looked back.
"After those first two goals, my girls kind of shut down," DiMarco said. "If we wouldn't have had those and maybe scored right off the bat, it might have been a different game. It's frustrating."
Cleveland (15-6-1, East No. 6 seed) rolled through the Two Rivers Conference with a 10-0 record and won its first two playoff games to advance further than any previous Rams squad. That is what senior Courtney Morris will remember.
"We haven't gone past the first round," said Morris, a four-year starter. "This is definitely a step up. I'm very proud to be on this team."
The early goals took a toll on the Rams, Morris said.
"The first goal, we kind of thought, 'It's OK, we'll get it back,' " Morris said. "That's what happened in the second round (in a 4-2 victory over Eastern Alamance). When the second goal came in, it kind of hit us in the face."
Northern Guilford led 5-0 by halftime and never let Cleveland up for air, outshooting the Rams 23-4.
The letdown by the Rams once they fell behind was uncharacteristic of the team, DiMarco said.
"I could tell their heads went down after goal No. 2," the coach said. "Instead of working together and trying to come back from it, we shut down. I hope we remember this feeling next year when it comes to playing (in the playoffs), that we don't want to lose in the third round of the playoffs, that we want to keep going.
"To win a state championship is every high school player's dream. It's the best feeling that hopefully one day they will feel."
Though disappointed in the finish, DiMarco was pleased with the season as a whole and optimistic about the future of the program.
"It's been a wonderful season," she said. "My seniors – Courtney Morris, Alexis McLeod, Shelby Davenport and Blair Witmer – have had a great four years. They have had a great season. I hate the way they had to end their high school careers.
"Each year we have gotten better and better. Last year, we were 18-2 but got knocked out in the first round of the playoffs. Making it to the third round was a big improvement. Hopefully next year, we will build on this and keep on building."
DiMarco said there are plenty of talented players returning to help make that happen.
"We have a lot of young girls," she said. "Cassidy McNierney, a freshman, is our second leading scorer next to (junior) Emily Truelove. We have a lot of promising freshmen and sophomores."

On Saturday, President Barack Obama asked Congress to consider a strike on Syria.
Then on Monday, politicians from across the country, including here in Western Mass, spoke out on what should be the United States' next move.
Rep. Richard Neal and both Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Ed Markey are just a long list of politicians giving their advice on which direction the country should go in dealing with Syria.
The Obama administration says evidence proves Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad's regime killed hundreds with poison gas.
A French intelligence report backs up that claim, stating chemical agents were used last month in Damascus.
Now politicians from both sides of the aisle are coming forward and speaking out on the country's next move.
President Obama called two top Republican senators to the White House to convince them to support his plan to use military force against Syria.
Sen. John McCain agrees with the president, saying something must be done.
"We have to make it clear that a vote against this would be catastrophic in its consequences," said McCain.
Meanwhile in Boston at the Annual Labor Day breakfast, Warren said the U.S. should proceed with caution when it comes to interfering with the conflict in Syria.
"It's a very complicated situation on the ground and if we go in, even with good intentions, there can be unexpected consequences for America. So what we're trying to work through is what would happen and I'm very concerned."
Markey said he backs a U.S. missile strike but also agrees there needs to be a better understanding of the consequences before going through with one.
"I just want to understand what is likely to happen after we strike so we understand what the ramifications are," said Markey.
Neal also reacted to the latest in Syria.
In a statement issued to CBS 3, Neal said, "While the Syrian government needs to be held accountable for its outrageous behavior, I believe that every diplomatic option ought to be exhausted before the United States and its international partners contemplate any military action in the region."
Assad denies his government used chemical weapons and says any Western military action will trigger a regional war.

Last night Jess and I had quite the text conversation, which subsequently led to follow-up via voice. It must be shared.
I received this photo with the caption, "These are the times I wish I had a husband…"
Me, "Ahahahahaha. Want me to do it?"
Her, "I handled two rats at the old house, but this one is covered in placenta."
Me, "Placenta is good for your hair. You should save that part."
Her, "Vomit… in… mouth…"
Me, "You can buy it at Walgreens. I love it. I'll get you some next time. It comes in fancy glass vials. Think PETA would destroy me for this?"
Her, "If you can actually buy placenta at Walgreens I may never shop there again. After having DELIVERED placenta out of my hoo hoo I can honestly say… Bleh!"
My next message that never got sent because I got a phone call from mom informing me that Nick and I were now hosting my sister's birthday party 48 hours later. Had to hop into action. (Not a complaint, just changed focus rapidly.) This is what I intended to send but forgot. "Not just there. All drug stores, Fred Meyer, Target… They all sell this hair care product. I'm sure it's not human baby, but animal baby. Works like a charm."
Post shopping for bday festivity goods I called Jess (hands free) on the way home. We had a nice little chat about said placenta.
Ring, ring, ring…..
Jess, "Hello?"
Me, "You picked up?! What?! You never pick up. Woo hoo!"
Her, "Ha ha."
Me, "I can't believe you don't want to try this stuff. It's great for your hair!"
Her, "Again, I will not use any products that are made of the same thing that came out of my hoo hoo."
Me, "But it has a ton of nutrients and things."
Her, "Yeah, and cats eat their placentas after giving birth, but have you met me? I am not a cat. Cats also lick their own butts. I do neither of these things. I saw that thing after giving birth to the boys, it is gross and full of slime and blood and all sorts of gross things….."
My thought that I didn't say because her statement just got better, "Placenta that I buy is clear. It must go through a thorough cleansing process."
Her continued, "…You know what else? I heard that there are some people having their placentas made into vitamin capsules and taking them as pills. That is so gross!"
Me, "Hmm…. Well, I'm not a cat and don't want to eat my placenta right out of my hooey, and I'm not sure about licking my own butt, but getting all those vitamins and nutrients back in your body can't be a bad thing. I'm going to have to look in to these so-called placenta vitamins. Seriously though. You can get this stuff everywhere, all drug stores and super stores. I like to combine my placenta hair care with cholesterol."
Her, "You can use my cholesterol in your hair whenever you like."
Me, "Thanks! If I could figure out a way to do it without killing you and ripping your veins out of your body I'd take you up on that."
Her, "And you are disgusting. I don't know if we can still be friends."
Me, "That's not true. I've said and done far worse things than this."
Her, "True."
In a conversation with mom this morning she said that someone who shall remain nameless unless they want to reveal themselves planted her baby's placenta under a rose bush. It grew beautifully! I can personally attest to it.
Such a diverse baby bi-product.
Here are some alternative uses for placenta from TheCradle.com.

Chemotherapy for brain and spinal cord tumors in children
Chemotherapy (chemo) uses anti-cancer drugs that are usually given into a vein (IV) or taken by mouth. These drugs enter the bloodstream and reach almost all areas of the body. However, many chemo drugs are not able to enter the brain and reach tumor cells.
For some brain tumors, the drugs may be given directly into the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the brain or into the spinal canal below the spinal cord. To help with this, a thin tube, known as a ventricular access catheter, may be inserted through a small hole in the skull and into a ventricle during a minor operation (see the "Surgery" section).
In general, chemotherapy is used for faster growing tumors. Some types of brain tumors, such as medulloblastoma, tend to respond well to chemotherapy.
Chemotherapy is most often used along with other types of treatment such as surgery and radiation therapy. It may be used instead of radiation therapy in children 3 years and younger.
Some of the chemo drugs used to treat children with brain tumors include:
- Carboplatin
- Carmustine (BCNU)
- Cisplatin
- Cyclophosphamide
- Etoposide
- Lomustine (CCNU)
- Methotrexate
- Temozolomide
- Thiotepa
- Vincristine
These drugs may be used alone or in various combinations, depending on the type of brain tumor. Chemotherapy is given in cycles. Each cycle generally lasts about 3 to 4 weeks and is followed by a rest period to give the body time to recover.
Possible side effects of chemotherapy
Chemo drugs attack cells that are dividing quickly, which is why they often work against cancer cells. But other cells in the body, such as those in the bone marrow, the lining of the mouth and intestines, and the hair follicles, also divide quickly. These cells are also likely to be affected by chemotherapy, which can lead to side effects.
The side effects of chemotherapy depend on the type of drugs, the amount taken, and how long they are taken. Possible side effects can include:
- Hair loss
- Mouth sores
- Loss of appetite
- Nausea and vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Increased chance of infections (from having too few white blood cells)
- Easy bruising or bleeding (from having too few blood platelets)
- Fatigue (from having too few red blood cells or other factors)
Some of the most effective drugs against brain tumors tend to have fewer of these side effects than other common chemo drugs, but they are still possible. These side effects are usually short-term and go away once treatment is finished. Your child's doctor and treating team will watch closely for any side effects. There are often ways to lessen these side effects. For example, drugs can be given to help prevent or reduce nausea and vomiting.
Along with the risks above, some chemo drugs may have specific side effects (although these are less common). For example, cisplatin and carboplatin can also cause kidney damage and hearing loss. Your doctor will check your child's kidney function and hearing periodically if he or she is given these drugs.
Be sure to ask your child's doctor or nurse about medicines to help reduce side effects, and let them know if your child has side effects so they can be managed effectively. In some cases, the doses of the chemo drugs may need to be reduced or treatment may need to be delayed or stopped to prevent the effects from getting worse.
For more information on chemotherapy, see our separate document, Understanding Chemotherapy: A Guide for Patients and Families.

Reason takes a hard look at the LP
Posted on Aug 21, 2008
Dave Weigel, an associate editor of Reason magazine, has recently penned a fantastic article on the Libertarian Party and the potential it has with nominee Bob Barr at the top of the ticket.
The highlight of the article was the focus on the success of the Libertarian message in transforming Barr, who once was the target of Libertarians, into its presidential nominee. "After hoping for so long to win prominent converts to the cause," writes Weigel, "the Libertarian Party finally had managed to do it."
The article is replete with inner-party politing and an extremely detailed analysis of Barr's rise to the top of the ticket. The article also touches on the failure of the Party to gain more than 500,000 votes with a series of Party stalwarts, and the challenge of reformers to live up to the expectations set this year with Barr's nomination.
The challenge for Barr and the reformers is to deliver on their promises: to score a record vote total, to grow the party's membership, and to force the two big parties to pay attention. They need to prove that libertarians can do more than form a protest bloc in the GOP or think-tank their way into the mainstream of politics and policy. If they pull that off, the Libertarian Party could reach unprecedented heights.
I encourage you to check out the article here.

by EWU Athletics Media Relations
It wasn't easy in 12-degree weather, but Walter Payton Award finalist Vernon Adams and running back Quincy Forte found a way.
Adams had five touchdown passes and 244 yards of total offense, and Forte rushed for 202 yards and a score, as the third-seeded and No. 3 ranked Eastern Washington University football team beat 13th-ranked South Dakota State 41-17 Saturday, Dec. 7, at Roos Field in Cheney, Wash., in the second round of the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision Playoffs.
"I am proud of our players," said Eastern head coach Beau Baldwin. "I thought we stepped up and played some cold weather playoff type of football. A lot of times as a team we get looked at in a certain way because maybe we put up a lot of yards passing. We were able to play some tough grind-it out-football. We won the turnover battle, had great second-half defense and we finished running the ball really well, along with scoring with the ball in the air. I am proud of the guys for their fight. They just have to keep getting tougher as they go."
Eastern will now host a game on Saturday, Dec. 14 at 1:05 p.m. Pacific time versus Jacksonville State, which upset sixth-seeded McNeese State 31-10 Saturday in the second round. The game will be televised live on internet-based ESPN3. A year ago, Eastern advanced to the semifinals and won the title in 2010.
Located in Jacksonville, Ala., the Gamecocks are 11-3 overall and pounced Samford 55-14 in the first round on Nov. 30 after receiving an at-large bid to the playoffs. It will be EWU's first-ever meeting with Jacksonville State, which finished 5-3 in the Ohio Valley Conference under first-year head coach Bill Clark.
Information on tickets for the game at "The Inferno" – where EWU is 23-3 all-time – will be available at: http://goeags.com/ticket/13playoffs. The game will be broadcast live on internet-based ESPN3.
The Eagles, who capped a perfect 8-0 Big Sky Conference season with a 42-41 win over the Vikings on Nov. 23, are now 11-2 on the season with a nine-game winning streak. Eastern finished the regular season ranked third in The Sports Network FCS Top-25 Poll for the sixth-straight week, and entered the playoffs as the No. 3 seed.
Forte had the 25th performance in school history with 200 rushing yards or more, and shattered his previous career high of 123 set earlier this season. His performance was the best by an Eagle since Taiwan Jones had 230 versus North Dakota State in the 2010 FCS Playoffs.
Adams had a season-low 12 completions and his second-fewest attempts with 22, but TD passes of 69 and 40 yards helped him to a 217-yard passing game (also second-lowest), to go along with 27 on the ground. He now has 51 touchdown passes this season to move into a tie with Jimmy Garoppolo of Eastern Illinois for third all-time in FCS history, just five from the record.
Freshman Cooper Kupp had four catches for 90 yards and a pair of touchdowns. He broke the school record with 20 TD catches for the season, (19 shared by Nicholas Edwards, 2011, and Eric Kimble, 2004) and broke the FCS record for most touchdowns by a freshman (Moss with 19 in 1996). He also tied the Big Sky record of 20 TD catches set originally by Ed Bell of Idaho State in 1969.
Now with 81 receptions, Cooper Kupp has tied the FCS record for receptions by a freshman (81, Sean Price, Appalachian State, 2012). He is currently sixth in school history, and is just two from fifth and four from fourth. The school record is 95 set by Nicholas Edwards in 2011.
With a touchdown reception in all 13 of the games he has played in his EWU career, one game earlier he broke the record of 11 consecutive games with a TD catch previously held by Randy Moss from Marshall in 1996 and Cal Poly's Ramses Barden in 2008.
Eastern finished with 504 yards of offense for EWU's seventh performance of 500 or more yards. Eastern had 335 of its yards in the second half alone. Now with 526 points this season, EWU broke the school record of 488 set in 2004.The Big Sky record is 537 points set by Montana in 2009.
Defensively, Eastern held SDSU 2,000-yard rusher Zach Zenner to 71 yards and a single touchdown on 21 carries. Buck Buchanan Award candidate Ronnie Hamlin led the Eagles with 13 tackles for the 15th performance of his career of 10 or more tackles. Safety Todd Raynes added seven tackles, a forced fumble and two passes broken up.
South Dakota State scored the first time they had the ball on a 75-yard drive, while EWU had to punt the first two times it had the ball. But the Eagles scored two touchdowns with 2:16 of each other on drives of 51 and 70 yards. They ended on TD passes of yards to Zack Gehring and 40 to Kupp.
The Jackrabbits tied the score with 1:40 before halftime, and held EWU's offense to just 169 yards of offense in the first half.
Eastern took the lead again for good in the third quarter with an eight-play, 82-yard drive, capped by a 2-yard TD pass from Adams to Zach Wimberly. It was the first TD catch of the season and career for Wimberly, making him the 12th Eagle this season to catch a TD pass.
After SDSU failed on a fake punt inside their own territory, EWU pounced with a quick four-play, 34-yard drive, capped by a 15-yard TD pass to Kupp.
The Jackrabbits converted a fourth-down play that led to a field goal, but EWU countered with a 69-yard TD pass to Cory Mitchell on the first play of the fourth quarter to put the Eagles up 34-17.
Eastern closed out its scoring with a 20-yard TD run by Forte with 3:06 left in the game.
Eastern is now 5-0 this season when it wins the turnover battle, and 7-1 when it wins the battle or is tied. South Dakota State entered the game fourth in FCS in turnover margin, with 32 turnovers forced this season and 16 lost.
Eastern entered the SDSU game ranked fourth in FCS in total offense (531.1 per game) and eighth in scoring (40.4).
The Jackrabbits finished 9-5 on the season after finishing 5-3 in a four-way tie for second in the Missouri Valley Football Conference behind two-time defending FCS Champion North Dakota State (8-0).
