Updated August 16, 2012 by Jordan Aubey: A documentary producer makes a return trip to Joplin. He's working on a film called "Undroppable" that focuses on students who considered dropping out of school.
The director returned to record more interviews with students.
The director also keeps in touch with the students on Facebook and Twitter.
One student who thought of dropping out of school last year after the tornado says she hopes others going through a hard time realize the experience only makes them stronger and to stick with their education.
"With 'Undroppable' around, and all the crew, and everybody talking to me and being my support system, my life has been impacted so much," says Jade Roeder. "I know I can have someone to turn to anytime I need something. Anytime I need something, they will always be there and that's something I've never had before. I've always had to depend on myself."
Clips from the "Undroppable" film are available online at http://www.undroppable.com. You can view the clips from the Joplin High students at http://joplinhighschool.undroppable.com/.
Reported July 12, 2012 by Lisa Olliges: Seven recent graduates of Joplin High School are part of a documentary and social media campaign called "Undroppable".
The students share life stories that reveal why they were close to dropping out of high school. They talk about parents who abused drugs, teen pregnancy and losing homes to the tornado.
Some students were part of the FLEX program and give it credit for their success. But they all hope the honesty of the "Undroppable" campaign has an impact.
"Finish school - I know they hear that a thousand times a day every day but they really should listen - I wish I would have," says Braden Showers.
"I certainly wasn't the worst story in that bunch," says Aaron Harper. "If all those other kids are graduating, and I graduated, I'm hoping every kid's going to see that and graduate."
Filmmaker Jason Pollock interviewed more than 60 students. Those clips are already online at http://www.undroppable.com. You can view the clips from the Joplin High students at http://joplinhighschool.undroppable.com/.
The full length documentary is expected in mid 2013.

Following their upset win over the Wisconsin Badgers on an improbable Hail Mary, the Michigan State Spartans now control their own destiny in the race to the Big Ten Championship and ultimately, the Rose Bowl. They're the only undefeated side in the Legends Division (I laugh every time I type this) with a pack of one-loss teams behind them. One of those teams is their opponent on Saturday, the Nebraska Cornhuskers (noon ET, ESPN; march here for Nebraska-Michigan State score updates and here for game stories from around the country).
Nebraska blog Corn Nation believes that the game is going to come down to a battle in the trenches, which can be said for a lot of Big Ten matchups. Nebraska's offensive line is performing well, but Michigan State's defensive front provides a tough matchup.
On offense, it'll come down to a battle in the trenches between Nebraska's improved offensive line and Michigan State's powerful defensive line. Nebraska's strategy of fast-paced play worked out, in the end, against Ohio State and might be a blueprint against Michigan State. Early on against the Buckeyes, it didn't appear that way. Up until the middle of the third quarter, the Nebraska rushing attack was stuck in neutral, but something was happening at the time that wasn't immediately apparent. While the yardage wasn't coming, the Buckeyes were wearing down with Nebraska's fast tempo. As the game wore on, the Buckeyes became tired, and the rushing game opened up like a dam breaking.
Michigan State blog The Only Colors is confident in their run-stopping ability, but just to be safe, they would like to bait Taylor Martinez into actually throwing the ball, instead of just running it.
Martinez is extremely effective when he keeps the ball in his hands; he averages 5.78 yards per carry - coincidentally, the same amount as Burkhead. This rushing prowess is starkly contrasted with his passing game, as he ranks 68th in the FBS in pass efficiency. His completion percentage is even worse, as he is 89th in the FBS at 55.0%. The defensive game plan for Nebraska will hopefully be much the same as it was for Michigan - stack many defenders in the box, force third and longs, and make Martinez beat MSU through the air, where Robinson, Lewis, Adams, Dennard et al. will be waiting.
Game date, time: Saturday, October 29, 12:00 P.M. ET
Location: Memorial Stadium, Lincoln, NE
TV channel: ESPN/ESPN3
Spread: Nebraska favored by four points
Series history: Nebraska leads 5-0

The final meals of condemned prisoners are an enduring, if morbid, source of fascination.
Cornell University researchers studied 193 last meal requests in the United States. Take a look at some of the most requested items.
French fries made the list.
Soda was a common request.
Some inmates requested pints of ice cream.
On death row, last meals tend to be high in calories and heavy on meat.
Requests vary greatly, but Cornell researchers found some general trends in a quirky bit of research analyzing last meal orders.
There were a lot of requests for steak.
More than two-thirds of the condemned ordered fried foods and they ordered dessert at about the same rate.
Inmates were five times more likely to request soda than milk.
The average meal request came in at an estimated 2,756 calories.
One inmate requested 12 pieces of fried chicken, two buttered rolls, mashed potatoes with brown gravy, two sodas and a pint each of strawberry and vanilla ice cream.
Four percent requested fast-food takeout from chains like McDonald's, Wendy's or KFC.
Researchers said the popularity of comfort foods could reflect people trying to deal with extremely high stress by surrounding themselves with familiar food.
Fruits and vegetables were much less popular.
However, more than a quarter requested a salad.
One prisoner requested a single pitted olive.
Researchers noted that meal requests usually must fall within a budget, and no alcohol is allowed.
Texas, one of the states included in the study, stopped the practice of giving special final meals last year after an extensive request from a man being executed for his role in a notorious hate-crime dragging death.

What a loser. Why some men think ppl want to c their ugly parts is amazing. Ladies, carry some visible scissors with you.

Dear Ann, you sound like a MAN hater. "Their ugly parts" What an awful thing to say.
And then you add more abusive things like "Carry some visible scissors with you" I'm surprised you didn't suggest carrying hedge cutters or a battery operated chain saw.
My, My, My Ann, you are missing the beauty of the male body.

KUSA - Evacuation orders were lifted in a Morrison-area neighborhood after a strong gas odor was detected by deputies responding to a despondent resident.
The unidentified resident was placed into custody without incident in the 12000 block of West Temple Drive Wednesday night.
Jefferson County deputies were called to the suspect's home earlier in the day. Deputies said the suspect was alone but posed a threat to self and others.
No injuries or fires were reported. The person's name wasn't released.
The number of people evacuated wasn't known.
The sheriff's department first reported the incident on Twitter at about 4:30 p.m. and said evacuations were underway moments later. Natural gas was switched off and an evacuation center was opened at a high school amid sub-freezing temperatures.
The evacuations were lifted shortly after 9 p.m.

- Interesting Menu / ValueOpenTable Diner Since 2002VIPDined on 8/29/2014Great portuguese menu. Terrific price fixe value. The soups were outstanding.Special Features:
- A hidden gemJM758VIPDined on 8/26/2014Not in a great location but don't judge Tavira by the outside. Inside, it is a beautiful little restaurant with amazing food, quality service, and romantic ambience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Quiet, good mealoliveDined on 8/22/2014We like Tavira for spur-of-the-moment quiet dinners out. It's a crystal & linen venue without being pretentious; Business casual attire is suitable. We're not wine 'connoisseurs' but have always liked what we tried. The menu is creative, well-prepared and dishes attractively presented;we are frequently attracted to one of the evening's specials. Offerings range from veggie to fish, fowl and meats; We are frequently attracted to one of the evening's specials. Unlike some nice restaurants it is also adequately lit (neither glaring fluorescents, nor shadowy candlelight), a personal preference. It's small and most of the tables are for 2 or 4, but they have a couple private rooms which will accommodate small groups of, maybe, 10.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great European dining experiencePaulDined on 8/15/2014Portuguese cuisine. Outstanding food, service, and atmosphere. Easy parking. The four of us talked for about an hour after we had finished eating, but the restaurant staff didn't even hint we needed to leave.Special Features:
- Excellent food, 2-b-desired locatnOHBoyVIPDined on 8/14/2014The clam appetizer, veal & seafood pasta entree are some of the best tasting - very flavorful not too salty. The warm, chewy w crunchy crust bread, OMG can feed up on those! Be aware! So good. The lower level windowless location in an office building is less ideal for a restaurant/chef with such great caliber.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always greatgapakeDined on 8/9/2014We have been going to Tavira for over 20 years and the food is always good. There are not too many Portugese restaurants in the area so it is always a treat. They have a great menu but we seem to always get something off the Specials for the Day. The fish dishes cannot be beat.Special Features:
- Outstandingfoodlover123Dined on 8/9/2014We enjoyed every minute. It is a beautiful restaurant to dine in and the atmosphere is wonderful. We loved the food and will definitely return.Special Features:
- Nothing much to write aboutMabelDodgeDined on 8/7/2014The service was excellent, but then we were one of three tables that night. The gazpacho was wonderful; the rest of the meal just OK. I think maybe the cook has too heavy a hand with the fish or else would benefit from fresh rather than frozen fish.
- 40th wedding anni. with familyterryDined on 8/2/2014Wonderful relaxing evening the food was excellant and we always love the sherry at the end of the mealSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/28/2014We went early on a Monday evening, purposely. Asked to be seated in a quiet spot because of hearing problems and were cheerfully accommodated. I'd describe the ambience as comfortable and warm. My daughter was disappointed that the several cod dishes were unavailable because a party of twenty at the lunch hour had consumed it all. I happily enjoyed the liver and onions that I was after. Service was fine. We had a good time and would go back again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Chevy Chase SecretsbmcreatDined on 7/27/2014Tavira is not visible from the street but it is a hidden gem in the BF Saul building on Connecticut Ave in Chevy Chase, MD. It is a very nice place for a special visit. Food was very good and you can easily converse with anyone at your table. It is a worthwhile outing.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Table for 6DivesDiningAdventuresDined on 7/26/2014Went out for dinner Saturday. Originally a party of 4... had to make last minute additions to our reservation. Open Table made that very simple. Some members of our party started with glasses of wine along with a couple of orders of the grilled calamari appetizer special, which was really delicious (a nice char/grilled flavor) and the Caldo Verde (a potato-based, green soup). The wine list is extensive and by the glass/bottle. 3 members of our dinner party had the Piri piri cornish hen, they expressed that ,though spicy, it was really good. 2 members had the monk fish, DELICIOUS!! I had the veal, also very good. For dessert we shared 5 of their desserts: the flan, chocolate mousse, bread pudding, fried milk and creme brulee. Great dinner!Special Features:
- Even better nowsequoiaVIPDined on 7/26/2014This is my second dinner at Tavira. The first was 7-8 years ago. It was good then. It was very good now. The octopus appetizer was excellent. The artichoke and squid appetizers were good. The lamb shank was very good but the Piri Piri chicken was not tender and not very good. Service was excellent.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great as alwaysJessicaDined on 7/25/2014I don't understand why Taviea isn't packed every day. The food is excellent and accurately reflects Portuguese cuisine. They do right by seafood, and the device is attentive but not overwhelming. The place is pretty in a slightly old-fashioned way. Ok, so it is in the basement of a nondescript office building far from the culinary centers and hot spots. That shouldn't stop you unless you're more interested in scene than food.Special Features:
- Wonderful find!friendofGusDined on 7/20/2014We've lived near Taviar for many years but never thought to go there. Finally went on a whim and were pleasantly surprised. The Portugese food was delicious, the waiters attentive, and the ambience delightful - considering that it is a restaurant in a basement.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- I'm impressed every time.melillobmDined on 7/18/2014Every time I eat at Tavira I ask myself why I don't come there more often. The food is amazing. I haven't been disappointed, ever. I highly recommend the beef medallions. Friends I take there rave about the food as well.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great experienceOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 7/13/2014My dinner experience was excellent. We certainly plan to come back :)Special Features:
- Great Service and Great FoodJojoDined on 7/11/2014We had an excellent dinner at Tavira last Friday night. Both the food and the service went well beyond even our high expectations. It is a Portuguese restaurant and the menu is delightful. I have rarely had more attentive service. And to cap it all, there was a great 3 member music ensemble that provided lively instrumental and vocal talent. We will be sure to eat there again soon.Special Features:
- Disappointing Main CoursesOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/8/2014Good bread, tasty desserts, a pleasant ambience, and very good service, but the main courses were disappointing. The fish (cod) was bony. And the chicken in hot sauce, though tasty, was scrawny and bony as well.Special Features:
- Food was okaylsawVIPDined on 6/21/2014We were looking for a spot close to Rockville because we were going to a play up that way. We chose this because it was Portuguese, which isn't something we get often. It's in a strange location. Not close to anything else and in a bank building that isn't very attractive. The inside is better. The service was excellent. Our waiter, very friendly and helpful. The food was good, but not amazing. One of the steaks we got (the ribeye) was very charred. I liked it, but everyone else at the table said it tasted burned. The NY Strip was much better, said they. I got the Hen Piri Piri, which was good (not really that spicy) - but again, nothing to go back for really. The duck special was the same - good, but not amazing.

- Classic and deliciousNikkigeeDined on 5/31/2014The food, wine, and service here is fantastic. Authentic and delicious Portuguese food in a quiet and classic/old-fashioned atmosphere. Tavira is also one of my favorite places for seafood in this area, as well, as they have a great selection between the standard menu and specials. Haven't found many restaurants like this in the DC area, and it's a welcome change! The location might seem odd, but the food and service make me a repeat customer.Special Features:
- Excellent for lunchgoodeatsDined on 5/30/2014Extensive menu, great food and good service. It never seems to be crowded so is quiet enough you can carry on a conversation with your tablemates.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good vibesSophieDined on 5/28/2014I have dined at Tavira on several occasions and have always enjoyed it. The menu is ample and whatever I have chosen has been well-prepared. The restaurant is very attractive and the service good. I shall return!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Disappointing experienceOpenTable Diner Since 2007VIPDined on 5/27/2014Lunch on a weekday. 11.45. The place was completely empty. At noon two more people arrived. Our server was condescending to the elderly lady who was with us. He rushed us by picking up all le the silverware while some of us were finishing our main dishes. All in all, a very negative experience. If nothing else, the waiters need to be properly trained.
- outstandingljbarDined on 5/22/2014Came here for a graduation dinner. Food was excellent. Grilled calamari was a favorite. Loved the pimento salad and the steak. Our waiter Pepe was informative and professional. We will return if we are in the area.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Lost in TranslationOpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 5/17/2014I must note that our previous experience at Tavira was EXCELLENT. This trip however left something to be desired. Part of that was my error in ordering the cornish hen in a piri piri sauce. It is impossible to maintain good table etiquette while eating those suckers. Therefore, I requested that the remains on my plate be wrapped up so that I might take it home and consume it like a wild beast in private. The busboy did not speak a speck of English and he threw it out. Husband had the swordfish and says it was excellent. I however left hungry. They did re-fire another 1/2 hen that I took home...kuddos to the restaurant for that.Special Features:
- First visitOctDinerDined on 5/13/2014I don't know how we didn't know about Tavira before but we'll be back. Superb Portuguese food, well prepared, well seasoned and delicious. The location is pretty obscure but it's worth seeking out - just inside the Beltway on Connecticut Ave, in the lower level of a generic office building. Highly recommended.Special Features:
- better than 4 starsstoveovenVIPDined on 5/13/2014Ok, this place was a little difficult to find but worth it. There were four in our party and 3 out of the 4 thought the food was fantastic. Unfortunately the last member of our group was not a fan. That is why I cant give it a five star rating. I had two specials the calamari and the dorado. Both were excellent, well prepared flavorful and healthy. The relatively decent prices for wine made the experience that more special as we could easily afford to choose a very nice selection to accompany our meal without breaking the bank. I would definitely recommend this place and will be back soon on my own.Special Features:
- Mixed ReveiwsOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 5/11/2014The waist staff was very attentive, although it seemed our table busser was new and did not know the best times to step in. In our party of 5 two of us loved our dishes (the beef medallions were spectacular), two thought it was ok, and one did not like theirs. Overall we had a good time and enjoyed the atmosphere.Special Features:
- Authentic Portuguese RestaurantJBKROOSTERDined on 5/11/2014This is a great restaurant with fine Portuguese dishes. The service is top notch. I recommend the fish dishes and the duck. As good as it gets!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great All AroundDCFabGirlDined on 5/11/2014I took my family (group of six) for Mother's Day after reviewing all the review on OpenTable. Our experience was very similar to all the positive reviews here. Our overall experience was very pleasant with the staff (very attentive and knowledgeable) and especially food. I ordered the Brozini fish, day's special which was amazingly delicious with a well balanced taste! Plus dish ingredients was superb and fresh. We were surprised by its freshness for a restaurant which is tucked in a basement of an office building! I highly recommend Tavira as you will be pleased by your experience.Special Features:

The food was well prepared, with fresh ingredients, and just the right amount of seasoning. The wait staff were knowledgeable and helpful,attentive but without making you feel rushed in any way. Ww definitely plan to return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Awesome placeSlavDined on 5/2/2014THis is a great out of the way place that I highly recommend. The food, especially the fish is awesome and authentic Portuguese. We have been here several times and always been pleased. THe staff and service is fantastic, the place is quiet enough so you can talk and it is always full of people enjoying themselves.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent and uniqueBaltimoretimDined on 5/2/2014If you get tired of the same Mediterranean fare, Tavira could be the perfect place for you. Incredible food, and a very affordable, but excellent, wine list. One of the best meals I've had in the DC area.Special Features:

Ricky Stanzi and his roommates — teammates on the Iowa football team — have had a lot to celebrate already this young season. The Hawkeyes started 2010 2-0, have a top 10 national ranking, and easily handled in-state rival Iowa State last week.
Monday night, they were celebrating for an entirely different reason.
Former teammate Tony Moeaki, taken in the third round of the NFL draft, was playing his first game with the Kansas City Chiefs. And not only was the tight end playing, he started the game. And, in the second quarter, caught a two-yard touchdown pass that put the Chiefs ahead 14-7 on the San Diego Chargers.
Stanzi and his teammates were tuned in to the game that began at 9:15 p.m.
"We were going nuts inside the house. It was awesome," said Stanzi, Iowa's starting quarterback. "It was great to see him get out there and play. He got the start. It was tremendous.
"I thought that was pretty cool (Moeaki spiking the ball after his touchdown). He looked like he didn't know what he wanted to do. He was pretty excited."
Moeaki — who finished his Iowa career with 85 yards in the Orange Bowl against Georgia Tech — was the Chiefs' leading receiver in a game played in pouring rain. The Illinois native caught three passes for 21 yards, including a 16-yard reception.
After the game, Stanzi and his roommates sent a text to their former teammate.
"He actually got back to us so he hasn't big-timed us yet. He hasn't deleted us from his phone. That might be coming up here pretty shortly," Stanzi joked.

A word from Terra Mia
At Terra Mia Restaurant ("my land" in Italian) we carefully prepare our dishes using only the freshest ingredients. Our food is made from scratch, like the trattorias and ristorantes in the South of Italy. We make all efforts to purchase organic and locally grown produce and meats, to preserve the flavor and quality of our dishes. We strongly support the SLOW FOOD movement organization, which began in Italy in 1986. The nature of this group is to protect cultural identities linked to food and traditions. Also, for our customers to "slow down" and learn to enjoy meals while spending quality time with family and loved ones. We are located in the Chardonnay Shopping Center near downtown Livermore and popular wineries. Owned and operated by first generation Italians.Continued

- Terra Mia Tucked AwaySidWDined on 8/15/2014In a little strip mall sits this lovely restaurant. Had a great dinner sitting outside on the patio. (I'm glad we were able to sit outside because it was MUCH quieter outside than inside the restaurant. Keep that in mind.) Great service from our waiter but I can't remember his name. The food was excellent and the four of us in our party would like to return again. Once again TripAdvisor came through for me. I chose Terra Mia because of its high ranking on its site.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Food!BeanDined on 8/13/2014It is a little loud esp. when busy but well worth it. We have never been disappointed and we have been going here for years.Special Features:
- Always Great tastesDaveDined on 8/9/2014The quality of the food and the service are always great. This visit I brought my own wine and was a bit surprised that the corkage was doubled for a Magnum, There were still only one cork and 4 glasses. although they will waive one fee if you buy a bottle we had a very special Magnum and another bottle would probably be too much to drink.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Food Good, Service Not GoodatlcalDined on 8/9/2014Noisy place. A bit difficult to carry on a conversation but not a big hindrance. The food is very good and usually in generous quantities. The real issue on this visit was the service. I can only assume they were understaffed. Our waiter took over 10 minutes to greet us. We then had to flag him down to take our order. When the food arrived, he had no idea who had what entree. At a diner I expect to have to tell who had what entree but not at a place like this. Had to ask to see the dessert menu and had to flag him down to get refills. In one case, he refilled the drink with the wrong item. And we had to flag him down to get the bill. Just took what could have been a nice experience based on the food and ruined it.
- What happened?BlondiejDined on 8/7/2014Terra Mia used to be a hidden gem for wonderful, fresh, tasty Italian food. It has always been noisy but that was overlooked with the great food. Eaten here many times and never been disappointed. I took a friend last night and was sorely disappointed. Tasteless, soggy salad. Overcooked, bland fish special for me and my friend ordered the Petrale sole which was so salty it was rendered inedible. A big, sloppy, inedible mess. Our waitress was sweet but not attentive. Even the wine tasted horrible. I MAY give Terra Mia another chance as I've had so many good meals there previously. Maybe they are under new management? Very disappointed. I used to recommend Terra Mia to everyone. Now, I would not be able to do so.
- okChattieDined on 8/3/2014Wine list quite expensive for a neighborhood. Help not to helpful, food was ok but not real, real, good. I probably would go back because it is conveinent to the neighborhood, and I don't like to cook.Special Features:
- very good food - waitress ngJoprixDined on 8/1/2014Our meal was very good as always. However, our waitress was wanting to be some place else. We had to ask for bread and water after a long wait at the table. She did not know what they had for Specials that night. Others had to bring our meal.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Tera Mia amoremeal1guyDined on 7/18/2014Terra Mia is a great restaurant that is near the wineries, and has a great neighborhood feel. The restaurant sticks with the Italian fare and execute well. The menu is varied and reasonably priced. It is away from the downtown, but is worth the drive.Special Features:

- Real Italian DiningMissingRomaDined on 7/12/2014Come here for an authentic Italian dining experience. This is the best Italian food in Livermore with dishes you won't find elsewhere. Good list of local wines. Reasonable prices. Fun bar. Not the place for a quick meal, but that is not the intent of Italian dining. We need an authentic Italian deli in town for that.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good food but noisyLove2eatDined on 7/12/2014This was our second visit to Terra Mia & although most of the food was good, the noise level made conversing even with the person sitting next to you nearly impossible.A large party came in a little after us, sat clear on the other side of the room & managed to complete the misery. It doesn't help that the restaurant is all tile and stone either. The pizza, pasta with salmon and sea bass special were all very good.The pork was overdone and very salty, I would NEVER order it again. When we arrived we were greeted by a very friendly waitress, but as the evening wore on we saw less and less of her.We had to ask someone to find her so we could order dessert!The wines by the glass were extremely overpriced, tho cocktails were a bargain.Go figureSpecial Features:
- Always good food and staffbhiggy14Dined on 7/11/2014They always seem to have good food and very attentive staff members. I have never been disappointed when dining here.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Andrew HortonTransporterDined on 7/3/2014Me and my Mrs. eat at this place quite allot. The food, service, etc.., is VERY good. I HIGHLY recommend the salmon. Little pricy, but GREAT authentic Italian restaurant. The location is ultimate. Try it I think that everyone who eats here will be satisfied.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good food with good companySugarBearDined on 7/2/2014This restaurant is an easy walk from our house and qualifies easily as a neighborhood find. The food is very good. We both liked everything we had (salad, entree, dessert, wine) and it was served with a smile. The tables are pretty closely packed and the place is popular, so on a busy night, it can get pretty noisy. We will definitely be back.Special Features:
- DeliciousPenguinLuverVIPDined on 6/28/2014Difficult to carry on conversations due to the noise level, but the food is so good you just want to eat. Excellent service.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Lovely Italian EateryTracySVIPDined on 6/27/2014We went here on a weekend night and had an additional person to our original reservation, but they accommodated us with no problem. Our server was very attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. Nice atmosphere inside, so don't let the strip mall location put you off. Appetizers included calamari, anti pasti, and my favorite, the bruschetta. Entrees ranged from pizza to salmon to shrimp and everyone was pleased with their meals. I had the pesto gnocchi which was quite delicious. We topped of dinner with desserts of Italian gelato, tiramisu and bignes, all of which were yummy. They also have a very reasonable kids menu, and a nice outdoor patio.Special Features:
- Lovely EveningDine4usDined on 6/26/2014We ate outdoors. Noise was not a problem except when one very noisy vehicle drove by. The service was perfect and the food delicious. I highly recommend Terra Mia.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 6/26/2014Good food, superb service, charming environment, though I'm not used to the Livermore heat and at lunchtime it was a little warm for me. Should not be a problem for dinner.Special Features:
- LeftoversAnonym0usDined on 6/15/2014Asked server to box up whatever was left on my plate. We ordered dessert shortly after & I had still not recieved my leftovers. The server had forgot even as she was bringing our check. Needless to say, I was furiated that she had thrown them away. I had over half of my entree left, hoping to bring it to work with me the next day for lunch. $16 for a damn pasta down the toilet, thanks.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Decent food but not outstandingBoopDined on 6/14/2014Noisy restaurant unless you can get a table in the back. Service was okay but our waiter didn't take the time to explain the specials. I love Bruschetta but found it to be bland here. Just tomatoes on toast. Needed more basil and olive oil. Sea Bass special was very tasty yet the portion was very small.Special Features:
- always deliciousdsptDined on 6/14/2014I've never had a bad or mediocre dish at Terra Mia, which is why we keep going back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Where are the people?LivermorefoodieDined on 6/9/2014We had a delicious dinner of pasta w/ eggplant, and the pesto linguine. The service was attentive, and though the space is larger, the atmosphere is intimate.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- PeterOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 5/29/2014Terra Mia claims to be run be real Italians from the south of Italy. That for sure has to be a lie.Terra Mia managed to serve us the worst Italian food we have ever had. None of the four dishes we had were decent. In fact they were poorly made and the flavors were all wrong. Our two main pasta entrees even came with the same tomato sauce even though they were supposed to be different. Cannot recommend this place to anyone.
- Nice local restaurantOneToThreeDined on 5/17/2014I wanted a quiet and quaint restaurant for my anniversary dinner with my husband.I looked at availability on Open Table and the menu looked lovely. Overall, the meal was good. My lower star rating is mostly for the appetizer we ordered which was the prosciutto with seasonal fruit; the meat was okay but the season fruit consisted of four thin sliced hard pears, two halved cherry tomatoes, and two olives. My husband had the lamb which they did prepare very rare to his request,I had the veal picatta which was flavorful.Both dinners had garlic mashed potatoes and broccoli, the broccoli was oddly delicious!We hoped for a more private table like I requested on my Open Table reservation, but it was fine.Good for a family, maybe not a special date.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 5/17/2014Terra Mia is an overall fantastic place to spend with both family, and a loved one. The food is fantastic and authentic, the abience is to die for, and the service is beyond amazing. I had to leave them a big tip.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great experienceGrandpacakeDined on 5/11/2014Fantastic service serving delicious food on mother's day. We had reservations and we were seated when we arrived.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DisappointingWineNdineDined on 5/11/2014Being Italian I was looking forward to a luscious and wonderfully indulgent meal. Spaghetti alla Carbonara boasts a silky sauce created when beaten eggs are tossed with the hot pasta and a little fat from pancetta or bacon. The secret is quite simple, the eggs are essentially cooked by tossing with the hot spaghetti. The only challenge, the eggs must not cook to the point of being scrambled, but just enough to thicken the eggs into a sauce. Needless to say, what I got was Spaghetti with scrambled eggs. It was awful and when I politely pointed this out to our server, his answer was "that's how we always make it" and then walked away leaving my Spaghetti behind.
- Real Italian; honest slice of ItalyChaserDined on 5/10/2014This is without doubt our favorite resturant for Italian food in all of the Bay Area. After livining in Italy for three years, when we step foot inside this resturant; everything reminds me of why I love Italy so much. You must try this place...and practice a little Italian while you are there!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Go For The Lamb ChopsChrisTDined on 5/8/2014My go to place when I want prepared to perfection lamb chops. Luca our waiter was a delight. Very professional and friendly. Our meal was perfect. Staff is attentive enough without being invasive so you can enjoy your meal together. Calamari steak is also delicious. Don't be afraid of the pickles! The sauce is light and full of flavor.Special Features:
- Consistent QualityFedsdinerVIPDined on 5/1/2014This is our "Go-To" restaurant, no matter the Occassion. While all the wait staff are impressive, Luca is our favorite. I will say that all of them make you feel like you are their favorite customer. The food is always a dining experience. In my opinion , it all comes down to the person in charge, and that would be Francesco. Once you've met him, it's easy to see why Terra Mia is such a great place to eat!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Terra Mia - Reservations??1LivermoreDined on 4/12/2014I have dined at this restaurant before with better experience. We had reservations, but had to wait for 20 minutes before being seated. The waitress was polite, but did not announce the evening's dining specials, but, we did have a written description of them at our table. I asked for a salad with dressing on the side.... it came fully dressed. B y the time I saw our waitress again, she was bringing our entree. I politely asked if she would bring me a salad with no dressing, which she did bring with a sincere apology about the mistake... Food was fine, but I just felt maybe the restaurant, had been understaffed, they were not on the ball with anything. Not really a pleasant dining experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Family nightHoneybearDined on 4/11/2014We have never been disappointed with our visits to this restaurant. Great food and friendly service. I love to come in the cooler months with a big fire going in the fireplace.Special Features:
- DisappointingOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 4/5/2014Although recommended by friends, this meal was disappointing. The chicken dish was overcooked. The red sauce was very bland, lacking flavor. The tortellini was clearly not drained properly, giving the white sauce a watery taste. The Rollini was not bad, although a small serving and a very plain presentation. Having eaten great Italian in cities such as Montreal, New York, and Boston, unfortunately we can say this meal was sub par. Also, the olive oil was cloudy and extremely bitter. Table next to us gave us theirs. We were told our oil was not their usual brand. Well please check the quality before serving. Service: Wow. Two of the four meals ordered were totally incorrect. Inexcusable, especially considering the orders were written down.
- an enjoyable eveningniteoutDined on 3/29/2014Friendly staff and waiter, plus continuous watch over our table to keep the water glasses and bread basket filled. Tasty food! Cozy atmosphere. Enjoyed the night.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great authentic food.sharkfoodDined on 3/29/2014First time in the area, passing through to go see a show in Modesto and saw this restaurant on Yelp.. ..and it lived up to it's hype. We had a glass of wine at the bar since we got there a bit early. The bartender was an older gentleman, very courteous and quite hilarious I might add. We were promptly seated as soon as they opened, it helped that we had our OpenTable reservation, because the place got packed in less than 10 minutes of opening. The scene was vibrant and seductively lit with an open fireplace as well but the temperature never got uncomfortable during our visit. We had the gnocchi and the ziti al salmone, both delectable and in great portion that my girl had to take hers to go. Thanks for the wonderful experience!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always a Favorite!tatko19Dined on 3/27/2014The is our favorite place to dine! We've been coming for years. The food is excellent, quality is high, consistent, with great portions.

- no waiterdeet4evrDined on 3/25/2014I had the brandy salmon, which was good. I was with three friends. They enjoyed their dinners. The big problem was that there was no waiter for the first 20 minutes. We did get water immediately with two refills. No bread. I asked for a waiter from the water server after the second refill. There were at least half a dozen waiters, but none of them were assigned our table.Special Features:

Some organizations are getting ready for the market change that comes with new regulations. Others are getting ready for a change in the climate and want to know how to adapt. Governments and industry are challenged to comply with today's patchwork of existing and emerging regulations designed to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. They also must understand the implications of changes in climatic conditions and develop adaptation strategies.
While the full implications of carbon regulations remain unclear, emission reduction regulations will likely create material financial liabilities for regulated entities. In response, organizations need to strengthen their existing IT systems and business processes – or create new ones – to support reporting requirements and build data integrity. They must also assign enterprise-wide responsibility for carbon management governance and oversight.
Serving companies, federal, provincial and municipal governments, we bring a risk-based approach to developing tailored climate change responses. With a demonstrated track record in risk management, in-depth knowledge of carbon regulations and access to robust planning tools, Deloitte can help you to build carbon management capabilities, whether you are faced with carbon regulations or are participating in voluntary markets. We offer a full range of services to help you tackle the complexities and challenges presented by emerging carbon regulations, and position you to recognize and act on opportunities to build new value:

So instead of using this 8 game span to see what we have in Mike James and Bobby Rainey.....we'll bring back our star RB that should be on IR, and risk turning a minor injury into a severe injury.**CENSORED**ing brilliant. This is why Schiano should have been fired three weeks ago. He's ruining our players.
How's that? All great players want to play when they shouldn't. Good coaches protect players from themselves in these situations.

Pets are strictly prohibited from the Fairgrounds, Parking Lots (including parked cars) and Camping Areas.
Rideshare with GoMaine!
Ride Your Bicycle - Valet Parking on the Fairgrounds, and $2 Off Admission!
Ride the Train!
Suggestions For Efficient Travel Time
In general: Weather providing, the least hectic days to arrive are Friday and Sunday, and the best times are before 10 a.m. and after 1:30 p.m. Traffic on Saturday from mid-morning to mid-afternoon is very heavy. We strongly encourage Fairgoers to arrive early, to carpool or bike to the Fair from one of the nearby park-n-bike locations. Exiting traffic on Saturday afternoon can be very heavy too. Please consider sticking around for a while on Saturday afternoon to enjoy the Fair and avoid rush hour.
Handicapped Accommodations: Both the North and South lots have spaces reserved for handicapped citizens. MOFGA provides shuttle service to the fairgrounds from the South lot, and the handicap parking at the North gate is located adjacent to the gate.
Pleas from our Parking Team: Parking your vehicle nose in takes 10 seconds; backing in can take a minute or more. Insignificant? No. This difference is magnified many times by cars waiting to park and contributes to traffic jams! Please pull straight into your parking spot!
Vendor Parking: Vendors get one pass. All support staff in separate vehicles will be parked in general parking, including paid parking. (Maybe you can carpool!) If you put all your passes on your dash before leaving for the Fair, you'll save time and confusion for the parking staff.

Partnered with director Seth Gordon ("Horrible Bosses") and actors such as Jon Favreau, Amanda Peet, T.I. and more, Bateman and McCarthy's brand of comedy carries the story. I found myself wishing that someone had temporarily stolen my identity and replaced me as I sat in the theater watching this dull comedy that earned not one single bit of laughter from me.
Although Bateman foots the bill as the passive aggressive victim who decides to put the law into his own hands and McCarthy adds a sense of authenticity, "Identity Thief" falls way short and is a predictable, unamusing comedy that teases but lacks anything that resembles good original comedic fun.
Beginning with a rather plausible opening showing just how easy it is for manipulating identity thieves to get information from unsuspecting would-be victims, "Identity Thief" shows the tactics you'd expect to be used by someone who makes their living off of the "generosity" of others.
That scene alone serves as a public safety announcement; the rest of the film serves as dull public entertainment.
"Identity Thief" tries too hard to steal some laughs. That over-the-top comedy worked better in Gordon's "Horrible Bosses." The messy plot confuses viewers with substories of other identity theft victims out for blood, unlikely alliances and the thief's underlying search for her own identity that attempts to force audiences to feel bad for her. Really, the film is a deplorable roadtrip with nothing new to offer. (If you must, just watch the trailer, laugh, and then forget about it.)
My public safety announcement: Avoid losing any money watching this "Identity Thief."

A Geographic Cline of Skull and Brain Morphology among Individuals of European AncestryBakken T.E.a, c · Dale A.M.d, e · Schork N.J.a, b · for the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative
aThe Scripps Translational Science Institute, bDepartment of Molecular and Experimental Medicine, The Scripps Research Institute, and cNeurosciences Graduate Program and Departments of dNeurosciences and eRadiology, University of California, San Diego, La Jolla, Calif., USA Corresponding Author
Background: Human skull and brain morphology are strongly influenced by genetic factors, and skull size and shape vary worldwide. However, the relationship between specific brain morphology and genetically-determined ancestry is largely unknown. Methods: We used two independent data sets to characterize variation in skull and brain morphology among individuals of European ancestry. The first data set is a historical sample of 1,170 male skulls with 37 shape measurements drawn from 27 European populations. The second data set includes 626 North American individuals of European ancestry participating in the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) with magnetic resonance imaging, height and weight, neurological diagnosis, and genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) data. Results: We found that both skull and brain morphological variation exhibit a population-genetic fingerprint among individuals of European ancestry. This fingerprint shows a Northwest to Southeast gradient, is independent of body size, and involves frontotemporal cortical regions. Conclusion: Our findings are consistent with prior evidence for gene flow in Europe due to historical population movements and indicate that genetic background should be considered in studies seeking to identify genes involved in human cortical development and neuropsychiatric disease.

(WMC-TV) – The former owners of Club Crave can never open a nightclub under the name "Crave" again. This comes under the order of Shelby County authorities.
Mayor A C Wharton called this a huge victory for the city of Memphis.
The Beale St. club has been a source of crime ever since it opened.
In December, someone was shot and killed near the club.

LAS VEGAS -- The family of a 2-year-old child who police said was severely abused in foster care is looking for answers.
Ten days after Alexander Laws was taken from his parents in early November, he was laying in a hospital bed with brain injuries.
Alexander's mom acknowledged she has had her issues, but when the state takes your child, it has a duty at the very least to keep him safe.
In Alexander's case, that didn't happen.
At barely 2-and-a-half-years-old, Alexander is confined to a hospital bed with traumatic and possibly permanent brain injuries.
"He may never walk again, he may never eat again, he has a feeding tube in his stomach," Alexander's mother, Natalie Nelson, said. "He can't swallow his own spit."
Nelson lost custody of him temporarily for the second time in early November when she and the boy's father were arrested on outstanding warrants.
Nelson is accused of jumping out of a cab without paying.
Absent anyone to care for Alexander, Clark County placed him in foster care, where police officers said they believe he was severely abused.
"He was injured by the foster mom's friend or whoever it is," Nelson said. "It shouldn't matter why he was taken, it matters where he is then and he wasn't taken care of."
According to police reports, Alexander's foster mother, Kassondra Martinson, left Alexander and another foster child in the care of family friend Osbaldo Sanchez while she went to work.
Police allege Sanchez told officers the boy fell in the bathroom and that he knew the little boy was hurt "bad."
But police reports suggest both the medical evidence, and the other foster child, contradict his story and that Martinson lied about her whereabouts when Alexander was injured.
"You'd think there'd be some level of protection for this 2-year-old," said Marc Saggese, an attorney who is planning to file a federal lawsuit against Clark County.
Any monies recovered would be put into a trust for Alexander's long-term medical care, he said.
"We're talking about an infant who is in a position (of) being put with strangers and if the state doesn't ensure that these strangers are competent responsible individuals, then you're putting this child in a lion's den that ultimately leads to a lifetime of permanent damage," Saggese said.
In a written statement, the county's Department of Family Services insisted it conducts background checks on all prospective foster parents and that in this case, Martinson knowingly violated its babysitting policies.
According to the department, it is now working to re-educate foster parents.
Alexander's grandfather, Rick, and his mother seemed weary from the ache that comes when your child is hurting.
"I just don't want this to happen to any more children, that's all" said Rick Nelson, Alexander's grandfather.
With her son's hospital bracelet taped to her wrist, she said she worries that her once rambunctious little boy doesn't understand why he now can't get up.
"He smiles at me," she said. "I love his little smile.
"Alex needs help. He needs to be taken care of for the rest of his life because of the fault of the foster care system."
Alexander's family said they were initially told by the county that Alexander had fallen in a bathtub. They said they didn't learn until days later that a police investigation had begun and an arrest had been made.
Repeated calls to the Family Services Department went unanswered, the family said.
According to the department, it kept the family informed about Alexander's injuries.
