County Commissioner Paul Coble has set a slow pace over the past three years for public discussion about bus and rail transit improvements in Wake County, but he might be ready now to ease his foot off the brake pedal.
At a July 21 work session, Wake commissioners will be asked to endorse what are largely Cobles ideas for developing a new transit investment strategy.
Coble was board chairman in 2011 when former County Manager David Cooke outlined the Wake Transit Plan which was never discussed at a commissioners meeting again. He has served as the boards point person on transit since then.
Now Coble wants to see updated information about existing bus service and ridership, key employment hubs and transportation corridors that might pose heavy demand for transit service in the future, and the transportation needs of Wakes 12 municipalities and rural areas.
There needs to be equity, Coble said. We would not veto a plan because Wendell didnt get the exact thing Raleigh did. But youve got to get everybody to the table, and youve got to get them to agree that the plan really helps everybody.
Coble, a Republican, will be challenged in his bid for re-election this fall by John D. Burns, a Democrat. Burns says commissioners should let voters decide next year whether to approve a Wake transit plan and a half-cent sales tax to help pay for it.
In the past, what theyve done is talk about it and not really do anything about it, Burns said. And Mr. Coble has used it as an opportunity to express his belief that we dont need the transit plan that is currently languishing in his top desk drawer. I hope this (work session) is a discussion that leads to action.
Coble said he wouldnt rule out a decision by Wake commissioners in time to get transit on the October 2015 referendum ballot.
We need to make sure we get the best data and it doesnt just sit on a shelf and become outdated because too much time passes by, he said. Once we kick it off, we need to be engaged.
Baldwin calls for school planning
Speaking of transit, Raleigh City Councilwoman Mary-Ann Baldwin wants the city to work more closely with Wake County schools as it plots new locations to serve a growing population.
Baldwin pointed to a recent debate over whether to build new elementary schools near the countys borders or closer to downtown Raleigh. She told fellow council members this month that shed like to see new schools built along current and future transit lines.
This gives children and parents additional options for getting to school and may relieve stress on the (school system) budget for transportation and bus services, Baldwin wrote in an email to the council. It would also help us drive ridership and create walkable centers.
Real estate, however, is cheaper in far-flung suburban areas, so Baldwin thinks the city can help make urban sites more affordable. Shes calling for more partnerships where parks and community centers can be built next to new schools the sort of land sharing thats already taking place at Brier Creek Elementary School.
To explore further cooperation, Baldwin is proposing a new task force with representatives from the city council, school board and Wake County commissioners.
Would Wake tax increase hurt?
Members of the Wake County Board of Commissioners have a difference of opinion about whether a proposed quarter-cent increase in the sales tax rate that could be used to pay for raises for teachers would have a major impact on taxpayers.
Shoppers in Wake County now pay a 6.75 percent sales tax; 4.75 percent goes to the state and 2 percent goes to the county. Democratic commissioners want to put on the Nov. 4 ballot a referendum asking voters to support raising the sales tax rate by a quarter-cent.
The extra quarter-cent would generate an estimated $27 million a year . A Wake County household with the median income of $65,826 with an assumed 24 percent taxable spending would see an average impact of $40 per year.
Its not asking anyone to pay anything terribly different than they already pay for taxes, Democratic Commissioner Betty Lou Ward said this week.
But Republican Commissioner Joe Bryan, the vice chairman of the board, said the sales tax increase has to be considered in light of how the county is raising property taxes by 8.25 percent this year to repay last falls $810 million school construction bond issue.
Again we are looking at a regressive tax on 120,000 people that are living in poverty who can least afford it, Bryan said.
Commissioners will vote Aug. 4 on whether to put the referendum on the November ballot.

TDF has said that the new deal with Psychopathic and the acceptance and love they have received from Juggalos around the world so far has fully boosted their karma tanks like never before. They are totally charged and amped up about the new album, the family, and hittin' the stage under the Hatchet banner.
They have been just about living in the studio together and they feel like this is their debut album all over again. They also have a new track with rap superstar Gucci Mane called "Poppin Pills". Right now they are trying to decide if that's the song they will be posting for free download on their new website or if they're going to use a banger called "Psycho".
Find out which they decide on Devils Night, October 30th, when thedaytonfamily.net opens its gates. And yo, check out The Dayton Family from Dope Dayton Ave in Flint on W Fuckoff radio with their brand new show called F.uck B.eing I.ndicted. The show debuts on October 12th on wfuckoffradio.com!
Rock and Shock Madness
This show is fuckin' incredible! Every year they feature a Psychopathic artist on the final night of the three day festival. ICP and Twiztid have headlined many times in the past and each and every time was crazy dope and historical. This year is extra fuckin fat as they feature Twiztid and Anybody Killa. Straight up silly sickness. That shit right there is gonna set the roof on fire of The Palladium!
In addition to ABK and Twiztid performing on Sunday, October 17th, you can also look forward to an autograph signing earlier in the day at 2:30pm! This is the chance to meet your homies face to face!
New Videos In The HAUUUGH!
Their shit keeps getting better and better. Just check out the quality of Boondox's video for "We All Fall". You Tube that bitch up. Check out Twiztid's awesome ass terrifying video for "Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha HA". All that shit. The quality's only going up.
Also shooting a video in October is Anybody Killa. His video is for his brand new anthem off the new Medicine Bag album called "Last Chance". And lastly the video already in production as your corneas peep this, is your boys ICP! They're in the process of making a unique video for the song "Fonz Pond".
October is a busy month for the video department ninjas, but you can damn sure expect to see all three of these dope ass brand new videos in November! Know that!
To make it even easier for you to find the Psychopathic YouTube videos they have also given their channel a new URL. Update your bookmarks, Juggalos! Just head to hatchetmantv.com and that will take you directly to the Psychopathic Records YouTube Channel where you can see music videos, spots, and more!
ICP and JCW Notes
December 23rd is the date. The place? St Andrew's Hall. The event? Something special, something different, and something refreshing featuring ICP live. Because Psychopathic keeps its way to fresh to ever be stale. More news on this event soon!
Long time Juggalo and JCW superstar Sabu wore his fresh Hatchet Man pants while wrestling in the main event on TNA IMPACT on Spike TV the other day. It was nothing but fresh.
ICP and manager Billy Bill are currently putting together plans and routing for ICP's return to Europe. They will also be going back to Australia for four big shows hopefully in March of next year if everything plays out well with the Faygo issues.
VH1 Program directors met with ICP in Manhattan about 5 weeks ago to discuss their interest in possibly doing a reality show on ICP featuring them at home and work, Hogan Knows Best style. After the meeting VH1 never called Psychopathic back. What went on in that room? Maybe J and Shaggy weren't what they expected? Too bad. ICP would have kicked anus with a reality show.
Nothing is more awesome that the famous tradition of waving Hatchet Man signs on wrestling broadcast. Some of the best most incredible shots have been captured over the years. Even at Wrestlemanias. I wish there was a way of seeing a highlight reel of all the fresh Hatchet signs seen over the years on TV. Nothing is doper than that.
ICP's Miracles is now deep into 4 Million views on You Tube. Craziness!
There are some big JCW matches taking place October 30th in Noblesville, Indiana and the 31st in Detroit. In Noblesville JCW Champ Corporal Robinson faces Southern Tracy Smothers. The Weedman challenges Bull Pain. The current JCW Tag champs The Kings of Wrestling take on Juggalo heroes the Ring Rydas.
And in Detroit at the Hallowicked After Party the main event sees 2 Tuff Tony and Corp Robinson team up in Tag Team action. And check this out, Necro Butcher and Mad Man Pondo take on The Weed Man and Sabu! It's truly going to be fresh.
Expect a new awesome 3 CD collection from ICP to be dropping early next year. A collection of what you ask? We can't say anything more about it at this time. Damn!
And that's all we've got for you, Juggalos! Keep your eyes peeled for more news flavor dropping in the next Hatchet Herlad!

Ok. So Jenny and Carrie are good people. They didn't want to start a foodie cult or an addictive phenomenon in Carrie's mother's kitchen all those years ago. They just had a simple idea to create a simple nut confection with 100% flavor and zero pretention. In the face of "exotic" gourmet nut snacks, Jenny and Carrie went back to basics and began using real ingredients to infuse their now famous blends. And honesty paid off with a full line of Award Winning, Nutorious nut confections and Top-it-Off nut toppings.
Every batch of nuts is lovingly handmade by our favorite duo and is tested to their high standards for flavor, crunch and their big question. "Can you try one without finishing the bag?" If the answer is yes, then we admire your self-control. If it's no, then view our products to find your next big flavor.

Related Stories
The Chargers announced Friday that they have agreed to four-year contracts with two 2010 draft picks, ILB Donald Butler and DT Cam Thomas.
Butler, the team's third-round selection (79th overall), earned second-team All-Pac-10 honors as a senior at Washington. He made 91 tackles, one sack, forced three fumbles and intercepted two passes. Butler led all linebackers at the NFL Combine by bench-pressing 225 pounds 35 times. He's expected to be part of the Chargers' rotation at inside linebacker.
In PFW's 2010 Draft Preview, personnel analyst Nolan Nawrocki wrote that the 6-1, 248-pound Butler "reacts quickly to what he sees and beats blockers to the point" but is "not strong at the point of attack and can be eliminated by the lead blocker."
Thomas, one of the Bolts' two fifth-rounders (146th overall), made 23 tackles last season at North Carolina. He also blocked a kick and was credited with three quarterback pressures. He will compete for the starting nose tackle job during training camp and looks to be the team's future at the position.
In PFW's 2010 Draft Preview, personnel analyst Nolan Nawrocki wrote that the 6-4, 335-pound Thomas is "an immovable object inside and has a strong bull rush" but "does not consistently play hard."
The Chargers now have agreed to deals with five of their six draft picks, with only first-round RB Ryan Mathews remaining unsigned.

3.7/5 rDev -7.7%
Aged 3.5 months in highland barrels. Served in a tulip.
Pours a little thin, but opaque and black in color. One finger of cinnamon stick colored bubbles recedes slowly.
High booze aroma. Lots of vanilla, ethanol, mill chocolate. Almost bourbony. Not much coffee.
Better here. Great integration -- the highland scotch has a nice sweet caramel note that blends well with the coffee. Vanilla, toffee, alcohol, green oak.
Very low carbonation, just a soft tingle. Medium light body a little watery. Big bitterness at the swallow.
I prefer the islay edition -- think it works better with the coffee flavors, and this is a little too boozy.

Pours a deep, dark brown, almost black. Head is bubbly, ochre colour but quite pale, almost beige. Doesn't hang around in any serious way. Lace is good, not great. Overall though, pretty damn good.
Smells very pleasant. Slightly funky, with lots of roast behind it. Quite a nutty character, with caramel toffee, peanuts and a good belt of barnyard underlying the roastiness. Pleasant aroma.
Taste is rich and nutty mostly, lots of roast to it and quite spicy as well. Yeah, starts off quite sweet with caramel nuttiness and toffee as well. Develops roasty espresso notes heading towards a pretty damn smooth finish. Slight booziness, but it's all well-balanced with a quite spicy character coming through late, and it's quite well meshed in with the rest of the flavours. Nice, balanced, good and impressive stout.
Full, but smooth. Maybe gets a bit hot on the back, but otherwise goes down very nicely.
Nice stout - really rather mellow for how big it is, with nice roasty and spicy notes to most of it. Booze is there, but doesn't overpower any part of it. Very nice.

Been hanging on to this one for a while and should have got to it sooner. Bottled 09/03/09, bb 09/03/12, oops!
Appearance. Pours a thick dark brown, zero head or signs of carbonation. Crap.
Smell. Woody whisky, smooth but strong. Traces of chocolate and coffee, but mainly that decent smelling whiskey.
Taste. Woody, peaty and a bit smokey whiskey, some light coffee and roasted malt with a big, unsweetened bitter chocolate finish. Interesting.
Mouthfeel. Full body with very low carbonation. Happy there is some carbonation left, there's nothing I hate more than a flat beer.
Overall. I tried to be generous here considering I'm a year over the BB date, but I don't think this beer was much better a year ago. Just too much whiskey, not enough beer.

Thanks to mrmiles for sharing this one at NoSignsOfPain's birthday bottleshare hosted by mrbubbler.
Pours an opaque black with a foamy dark khaki head that settles to a film on top of the beer. Small dots of lace form around the glass on the drink down. Smell is of dark roasted malt, wood, smoke, peat, and scotch. Taste is the same with a woody aftertaste. There is a medium roasty bitterness on the palate after each sip. This beer has a lower level of carbonation with a slightly crisp and medium bodied mouthfeel. Overall, this is a good beer that has a nice barrel aged presence in the aroma and taste.

Appearance: Beer Geek Brunch Weasel (Highland Edition) pours an ink black, utterly opaque, with perhaps the tiniest imaginable hint of mahogany. The little head has a boysenberry shade, and that dissipates quickly, leaving behind just a ring with no lacing.
Smell: The beer smells of whiskey and booze, lots coffee and a solid load of chocolate, dark fruits, and a bit of vanilla.
Taste: Loads of whiskey and booze, as in the nose, but the flavour is sweet too. The chocolate is very strong.
Mouthfeel: Highland Edition feels surprisingly light given the boldness of the ingredients. I'd say this is a medium body, and the carbonation is on a medium level too.
Overall: The label on the bottle says "Oatmeal Stout", but I agree with the listing here that the beer is in fact an imperial stout. It may be an imperial oatmeal stout, if you insist, since the beer does feel big and bold, but there's the distinct sweetness of an oatmeal stout too. Aside from the nomenclature, I love how bold the whiskey is in this beer. I'm reminded of the boldness of the bourbon in Driftwood's Singularity, for instance. The flavours here are big and blunt, just like Mikkeller, and just how I like beer.

Pours a lovely deep dark black-brown colour with a fine, but filmy head of crema-coloured foam. Very pleasant static carbonation to it, forming as rivulets up the side of the glass as it's tilted. Overall, it's a really lovely look. Classic Impy stout look.
Nose is a little sharper than expected, with a banana leaf crispness, and perhaps just a touch of oxidation. It's a little disappointing, but this is several years old. There's a touch of whisky to it, giving it a hazy, slightly smoky character, but it's subdued and in some ways restrained from the true characters of the beer.
Taste is empty, and, I'm afraid exceptionally oxidised, giving a wet cardboard flatness. There's still the roasted stoutiness, but everything is squished and missing its depth and complexity. There is again a hint of whisky, but it's subtle, subdued and pushed out of the main even. Feel has held up well, with a lovely smoothness, and a clear balance on the palate. Unfortunately, it doesn't have a lot to work with.
If you have a bottle of this left, I hope it's survived better than this one. If not, drink it soon, because it's not getting any better. It's still a good beer from a good series. I just wish I'd drunk my bottle earlier.

Brewed 090309
50 cl bottle split two ways poured into a bailey's taproom tulip.
A- pours jet black with a very minimal coffee and cream head that recieded to a light ring of bubbles around the edge of the glass.
S- alcohol, smoke, dark fruit, vanilla and, surprisingly, coffee, I would have assumed the coffee would have faded by now.
T- booze, black coffee, bakers chocolate, barrel, this beer is still quite hot.
M- medium mouthfeel, light carbonation. Smooth and creamy. Nice.
O- at a little over two years old this beer is drinking well, although not, I suspect, at peak. Still a little boozy and hot but tasty all the same.

4.15/5 rDev +3.5%
Bottle courtesy of bosse shared by me at the Mikkeller Sour Bitch release.
A - pours jet black with a tiny smattering of head
S - Sort of a weird muted nose. Some coffee, as well as some sherry notes and smoke. A hint of iodine before it dissipated quickly
T - Tastes much much better than the smell. Sort of strange at first with some possible oxidation. Great rich cherry coffee and a big scotch backing that's not overpowering. Tons of fruit, smoke and coffee. Gets better with every sip to the point that I just finished the last like 6 oz. myself. Really enjoyed this brew
M - Bit thin, but appropriate giving the -bal aging. Not hot at all.
O - Very strange beer, but it's pretty fantastic after a few sips. Well worth trying and possibly the best variation of any of the geek beers I've had.

3.9/5 rDev -2.7%
Inky black colour with a small but relatively persistent tan head. No lacing.
Sharply alcoholic with plenty of sweet malt. Lots of roast and smooth coffee. Somewhat earthy but again lots of alcohol.
Big alcoholic stout, some roast and phenolic character are present along with plenty of sweetness. This is certainly a big stout and the coffee flavour adds depth but the phenolic takes away a little bit here.
Medium-full body with moderate carbonation. Good.
A solid stout but not spectacular. The phenolic is inappropriate and the alcohol is just a touch too strong.

Brewed March '09, Reviewed Dec '11.
Pours syrup-like pitch black with no head until encouraged (eg a 20cm high pour), at which point a thin layer of dark, dark tan is noticeable.
Nose shows coffee liqueur, musty notes, chocolate truffles, soft whisky notes and lots of vanilla essence. Pretty interesting. After a while the vanilla is the real dominant aroma. Seems to only improve as time wears on.
Flavours are just as intense, lots of booze, whisky, roasted malt and chocolate syrup. Not as much coffee as I expected but definitely noticeable. Unfortunately the booze is pretty obvious and a little harsh.
Very syrupy body, almost no carbonation; could use more.
Overall a bit harsh and full-on but otherwise quite an experience.

Batch 415
Bottled 090309
Best by 090312
A- Pours solid black with 1 finger of fluffy light brown head that doesn't stick around. Splotchy lacing with some really nice alcohol feet.
S- Strong burnt coffee up front that is quickly followed by an intense whiskey aroma and musty wood that gives off an ashtray/cigarette's in water kind of note. Definitely some smoke/ peat and a good amount of alcohol in the background.
T- Was a little skeptical by the aroma but the taste is very impressive. The regular Brunch Weasel comes through up front with strong artisan coffee, roastiness,smoke, peat and creamy bittersweet chocolate. But it gets way more complex once the whiskey shows up with nice caramel, musty oak, and a nice booziness that is very tolerable and fills out the body.
M- Full bodied that's cloying and sticky with moderate carbonation and a nice bitter mouth coating finish.

Sent stateside by bosse.
A - Black beer with a bit of a tan head that left some minor spots and lace on the sides.
S - Hard not to like the Brunch Weasel, but the time in the barrel kind of killed what was good about the original beer. It smells good, with peat, smoke, malt, leather, a nice scotch smell. I like it a lot, but unfortunately have to knock it down because it's lose what made it the Brunch Weasel.
T - Taste is a nice peaty, earthy, and leathery scotch with some soke and malt character. The coffee has been destroyed by the barrel though. Decent oak and tannic notes.
M - Soft carbonation, medium bodied.
O - I liked this beer as a nice scotch/barrel aged stout. I don't like it as a version of Beer Geek Brunch Weasel. If you're expecting the Weasel, you'll be let down. If you like scotch and stout, this might be the beer for you.

I recently received this in a trade from crosamich and decided to open it up.
It pours a deep black color with absolutely no chance of light getting through. It also pours with about a finger size foam which dissipates after a minute or two. The aroma that can be picked up off this is a spicy chili, smooth scotch, dark roasted coffee, and a slight vanilla. When it comes to taste I was pleasantly surprised, it had some spicy wood notes from the barrel, rich dark, roasted, coffee, some dark chocolate, and slight vanilla. The coffee and spicy wood notes linger on the tongue for a couple minutes after each sip. The mouthfeel was great, it coated the tongue and had a rich smoothness as it went down. Overall, I am really impressed with this beer; nothing was too overpowering and everything went together nicely. I am really looking forward to the Bourbon and Islay, and also the HR Fredericksen/Weasel Blend. This beer was very well done.

Got this one at De Molen in Bodegraven.
From a bottle into a snifter
Brewed 9 March 2009. Blue wax.
Drank the regular Brunch, Bourbon and Highland Editions, in that order.
APPEARNACE: A thick black pour yields a one finger, medium looking, tan head with good retention. Head slowly fades to a ring and wisp. Pitch black, viscous body with zero carbonation evident. A ring remains with touches of wisp and leaves some dots of lacing down the glass. Exactly the same as the other two versions.
SMELL: A much milder nose than the others. Some roasted malt and mild barrel notes. Some vanilla, whisky and hints of smoked malts. A bit of chocolate from the base beer as well. Nice enough, just not big enough really.
TASTE: Roasted malts and some vanilla and whisky notes. Lots of booze here too. Alcohol in the finish and a milder yet lingering boozy aftertaste with hints of vanilla and dark chocolate. The base beer is still there, but it's a little muddled under the highland barrel compared to the bourbon edition. Tasty to be sure, but not quite as bold and impressive as the other versions.
PALATE: Exactly the same as the bourbon edition. Really good. Full body, medium carbonation, and syrupy smooth on the palate. Very creamy, goes down smooth and finishes slightly mouth-coating. A touch of well measured heat at the swallow. Same as the base beer, but not quite as heavy and menacing. Like the base, however, some time in the cellar has smoothened this out perfectly.
OVERALL: A good barrel aged brew for sure, but just not quite as big, impressive, and well integrated as the bourbon edition. The age on this bottle has done its job, smoothening out the body and blending the flavors somewhat, but it's just not as big and impressive as its two relatives. One I'd have again, but given a choice, I'd take the Bourbon Edition ten times out of ten.

500ml bottle thanks to Mike vs Bosee.
A perfect example of messing with beer and barrel aging gone wrong. First of all I'm not a scotch fan which at first thought might cloud my judgment but since this was a universal disappointment I'm comfortable in my objectivity...The aroma is sweet, gone is all the really nice coffee, instead it is replacedd with sweet alcohol, a little coffee, and black sharpie, its nice at first then distracting...The taste is right on the nose, lot of scotch, pretty sweet, none of the roasted coffee again.
Another rare mikkeller but not worth trying.

Thanks to the main man, Mike, aka AgentZero, for brining this over for our little random tasting. 500ml bottle poured into New Belgium snifter/tulip.
A - Black, tan head, some lacing and a thin cap on top.
S - Roasted malts, chocolate, caramel, whiskey, barrel.
T - Some chocolate, malts, roasted nuts, oak, slight whiskey.
M - Medium, rich, smooth, light carbonation.
D - Average, at best. During our tasting, this would be one of the lesser stouts that we tried during that time.

Thanks to AgentZero for sharing this rarity on New Beer Sunday. Served in a Cigar City snifter.
A - Pours with a crusty thin foam that settles to a thin ring and light filmy hazy, leaving behind spotty lace. The body is a very, very, dark brown with notes of brown-red at the fringes.
S - This is intensely smokey and whisky-infused. Notes of saltwater, wood, peat, burnt malt, and anise. The original already had a smoke and leather element to it, but this has gone too far in my opinion. Not getting much of the wonderful coffee that graced the original.
T - Taste is again heavy with burnt, ashy, malt, oak, and peat, and not a lot of the original beer. This is unfortunate, as I don't find the Highland whisky to be an improvement.
M - Smooth, low carbonation. Seems to have thinned out a little. Finishes tannic and oaky. I appreciate the slight reduction in carbonation, but the body is a little wimpy now.
D - Don't get me wrong - this was a solid barrel-aged stout. Unfortunately I loved the coffee, nut, and malt goodness of the original beer, and this type of single malt cask has amped up all the smoke, char, and leather character instead.
I had high hopes for this considering how much I enjoyed the original, but this was a bit of a letdown. Here's proof that -bals don't always make things better (just rarer).

Nearly black with a dense, two-finger head that is a rich khaki colour. Mild Irish coffee smell, though not as sugary. Hints of dark chocolate filled with whisky.
Definite Highland whisky taste, with suggestions of chocolate, cream, coffee. The whisky predominates. No noticeable hops. I venture this is akin to Brew Dog's Paradox, but with a bigger whisky kick.
Nice, very moderate carbonation. Goes down quite smoothly. Very drinkable, even at 10.9%.

New Orleans, La. - With roughly 1,200 sworn NOPD Officers, there are only a little more than 700 of them actually patrolling the streets. That's a number that is causing concern at City Hall.
In front of the Council's Criminal Justice Committee this week, NOPD Superintendent Ronal Serpas pointed out that he too would like to have more officers, but says it's a balancing act.
"Mayor Landrieu says we need about 300 more officers, but you as a council aren't going to shut down government to give me 300 more people tomorrow. We have to work with what we have," says Chief Serpas.
The NOPD launched an aggressive recruitment campaign this year, but some say the city's residency requirement has become a roadblock to adding manpower.
"By having a domicile requirement that requires new officers to live within the parish of Orleans, we are extremely limiting our pool of applicants to the department," says Raymond Burkhart, attorney for the Fraternal Order of Police.
Council members decided now is the time to act.
"We're going to try for a year to drop the domicile requirement in order to not impede recruiting," says Council President Jackie Clarkson
Clarkson and Councilwoman Susan Guidry authored a proposal that would temporarily suspend the residency requirement for first responders.
"I mean, we can't recruit someone into Orleans Parish to uproot their family and buy property that costs more. Maybe they'll have to use a private school and not pay them more money. That's an equation to fail," says Clarkson.
Burkhart commends the council members for their proposal. "The fact is that this couldn't have happened at a better time. I mean, people are really interested in joining the New Orleans Police Department but that domicile requirement is usually the first wall and hurdle that keeps people from applying," says Burkhart
Clarkson says she doesn't know if she'll have the council's full support moving forward.
The proposed ordinance will first have to pass the Criminal Justice Committee on October 18. After that, it will go before the full Council for approval.

The Manchester United central defenders are going down like flies. Nemanja Vidic has already been replaced with an injury after he signaled to come off and limped his way to the bench. Now Rio Ferdinand has done the same. The defender limped around as West Brom attacked and as soon as the ball was out of touch he limped his way to the bench, while Phil Jones came running in. What was a Vidic and Ferdinand pairing to start the match is now a Jonny Evans and Jones pairing.
This is especially concerning for Sir Alex Ferguson after it was confirmed that Rafael would miss 10 weeks because of a dislocating shoulder suffered during training. If Ferdinand and Vidic are out for any time at all, United will be without three of their four first choice defenders. Of course, we have no idea about the length Ferdinand and Vidic will be out yet. All we know is they asked out then limped off, but it has to be a concern right now.

It is, Ted Chapin says, the Rodgers and Hammerstein show "nobody knows."
Chapin, president and executive director of the Rodgers and Hammerstein Organization, is talking about Pipe Dream, which is being presented as part of the City Center Encores! concert series March 28-April 1. It was the composing team's seventh musical, coming after major hits — Oklahoma!, Carousel, South Pacific, The King and I — but also immediately after a relative failure, Me and Juliet. Pipe Dream opened in November 1955, and with 246 performances is the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical that had the shortest run on Broadway.
The much starrier Encores! cast features Will Chase (Michael Swift/Joe DiMaggio of TV's "Smash") as Doc; Laura Osnes (Bonnie and Clyde, Anything Goes, South Pacific) as Suzy; Tony Award winner Leslie Uggams (Hallelujah, Baby!) as madam Fauna; and Tom Wopat as Doc's friend Mac. David Ives, an Encores! regular, has adapted Hammerstein's libretto. Marc Bruni, who directed Fanny at Encores!, directs.
From the very beginning, he says, "Encores! has always felt that shows by great musical theatre writers that may not have succeeded originally were always worth taking a look at, were always worth revisiting. It underscores the notion, which some people find hard to take on, that Encores! is not about pre-Broadway possibilities but really about giving an audience in New York that likes musical theatre a sense of what shows from another era were like, hopefully accentuating the positives and minimizing the aspects of the shows that weren't that great."Continued...

A Roseville woman's scheme to collect insurance by reporting a phony home invasion robbery backfired and has resulted in a two-month jail sentence for her.
See Yang, 25, was also placed on three years probation and fined $270 during her sentencing Oct. 7 in Placer County Superior Court by a visiting judge.
Yang pleaded no contest on July 29 to a felony charge of grand theft by false pretenses in a case that stretched back to Feb. 9, 2008, when she reported to Roseville police that she had just been robbed in her home by two masked suspects, one of whom carried a gun.
She told police that the robbers made off with money and jewelry, and she presented a claim to her insurance company. She received an insurance payment the following month.
But the scheme eventually went awry when she took some of the missing items from the bogus robbery to a pawn shop in an effort to collect cash.

I was raised a Catholic. My parents were not zealots, but you could find accessories like a rosary, Bible, crucifix, and prayer candle from the Good Catholic Starter Kit around the house just in case a friend was in need of a prayer or an emergency exorcism. Being Catholic meant going to church, so every Sunday I'd be forcibly removed from bed, restrained in Polly Flinders, and I'd thrash and wail as my father tried to strap patent leather Mary Janes onto my kicking feet. I hated church, and secretly my parents hated it too, but we came from a long line who every Sunday (and again every third Wednesday for confession) felt obliged to perch on rickety wooden pews that could splinter your ass at any moment if you didn't sit very still. Even when we moved hours from our closest judging relatives we still went to church.
"Why do we have to go if Grandma won't know we didn't go?" I'd ask my father.
"Because Jesus will know, and he'll find a way of telling her," he'd reply. It's unclear whether or not he actually believed that, but we continued to devote an hour a week to prayer and praise until I was a teenager. That tradition ended with this generation, however; I've realized that a cup of coffee and a crossword puzzle after a restful night of sleep certainly trumps holding hands with strangers and the smell of incense. Of course, if Grandma finds out, I will spend eternity kneeling on a thin plank of wood that has been stingily shrouded by a strap of leather and cushioned by a squishy chicken cutlet praying for forgiveness.
I don't retain a lot of knowledge about religion from my churchgoing years, but even as I got older and more cynical, I liked listening to the homily. These anecdotes and allegories are little nuggets of wisdom packed with lessons about friendship, honesty, revenge, and redemption that serve to expose universal truths to the attendees, sort of like an episode of The Cosby Show but with more kneeling. Most of the homilies were geared to the older audience and I'd chuckle along with my parents when they found something humorous even though I didn't fully understand. I don't remember all of them, but the current landscape of the baseball world recalls to mind a homily about ham, or the hamily*, if you will.
* Be warned, this is a bastardized version of the story that the priest told, but my rough memory of the specifics is enough to serve as a guide in the creation of my own allegory.
In the Hamily, the priest told the story of newlyweds named, as most couples in homilies are, Joseph and Mary. Joseph and Mary were hard at work fixing dinner for Mary's parents, who were headed north from Boca to witness the Christmas miracle. Joseph was nervous about seeing his in-laws and wanted to prove he was a capable provider, so he did what any reasonable man would do: he bought a ham.
Of course in church stories, men don't do the cooking, so Mary was tasked with making the ham ... except she had never made a ham before. As she removed the butcher paper, juices leaked all over the floor. She dropped it onto the cutting board --THUD! -- and stared helplessly. She sized up the piece of meat, looking at it from every angle. She considered basting it in butter like a turkey or smothering it in rum before baking it, but Mary and Joseph lived in a time before the Internet so she couldn't go to FoodNetwork.com or ask Jeeves for help. She paused, eyes closed, desperately trying to remember how her mom prepared ham when she was a child. The answer came to her. She reached for a knife, cut off about one-eighth of the ham at one end, put the remainder in a pan, and popped it into the oven. Yes: this was exactly how her mom made it.
Joseph stared in bewilderment. He grew up poor on a farm and not only did he wrestle the hogs, he ate quite a few of them, too. (He isn't described anywhere in the story, but I pictured Joseph as a hybrid of Ron Swanson and the Brawny Paper Towel guy.) He was shocked that his bride put an edible hunk of hock in the garbage can. "Why'd you do that? It's a waste of good meat!" Joseph exclaimed, resisting the urge to eat the ham from the bin. Mary admitted that she wasn't sure why she cut the end off, other than that her mother always did.
I conquered Target today, grabbing just three items: Milk, whey powder, and a copy of Sports Illustrated. Just before I entered a line, however, I impulse-bought two more things: a pack of Wrigley's Doublemint gum and a pack of Topps baseball cards.
I swore off baseball cards earlier this year, but sometimes knowing that they are within my grasp, I cave. Target is smart, putting the cards so close to the door -- I'm more likely to grab a pack when I know I can quickly retreat to my car and thumb through the cards undisturbed than if they were in the toy section and I have to carry them around the store. As for the gum, I chew that particular variety because that's what my father chewed.
One's affinity for baseball is likely acquired in much the same way. Ask someone how they got into baseball and it's usually tied to childhood, be it via father, mother, or the television that raised them. It's the same for all hobbies, really. I've had a thing for nail polish since my aunt painted my nails while we watched cartoons. I suppose if I had grown up with a best friend that liked comic books or Star Wars that probably would have rubbed off on me, too, because like it or not, we become products of our environment. Sure, we can reject things about our upbringings and adopt new perspectives, but for most of us there's an element of perpetuating the status quo in everything we do.
Acceptance, sometimes of things we don't understand, or like but don't understand why we like them, engulfs us. It's easier to keep things they way they are; there aren't many people who embrace chaos and constant reinvention. We are creatures of habit and we create and crave loyalty, even if there is no real motivator beyond familiarity. We have a preferred path for walking home from the train. We have a pizza joint that we favor more out of habit than culinary approval. We have baseball.
The more I think about our dedication to baseball, the crazier it seems. Of course, I don't know how it feels to be inside the heads of other passionate fans, but it's incredible that so many have adopted such a circular framework into their lives. There are slight nuances every year, but the commitment to willingly sit, season after season, on a fiberglass pony on a merry-go-round to nowhere is baffling once you frame it as such. Each year, the players and the events subtly change (Miguel Cabrera may hit 42 home runs instead of 44 next season, and the Orioles might make the playoffs again), but the intrigue and arguments are largely the same. As Craig Calcaterra said to me this week, "It's the cycle. Learn it, live it, love it." Yet, we don't run from the repetition, we sit attentively and argue on cue when the same controversies arise at predictable points in the season.
Mary's parents arrived, but Joseph was still fixated on the ham incident hours earlier. He looked at his hands; his palms were sweating. He couldn't believe that the woman he loved, the woman he had married, had defaced dinner so carelessly, so inexplicably. Before they sat down to dinner, Joseph asked his mother-in-law about the ham. "Why do you cut off the end?" he asked, barely maintaining his composure. He revealed none of the anger and hurt he felt, though in his mind he could see the meat in the Hefty bag, lonely and abandoned and well on its way to a premature putrefaction.
"Well, I'm not really sure," his mother in law replied. "That's just how my mother made it. When she calls tonight, we can ask her."
As baseball fans, we willingly embark on irresolvable arguments about the Hall of Fame. Sure, there is relative newness in these conflicts in that the elder members of the BBWAA would rather label those who apply math and reason as members of a vigilante sabermetrics brigade than engage in meaningful debate, but that doesn't alter the familiarity of the discussions. Disagreeing about the Hall of Fame is nothing new; people have been arguing the worthiness of candidates since the Hall's inception, so while we're preoccupied with Tim Raines and Jeff Bagwell this year, we could just as easily be in [ANY YEAR] debating [ANY PLAYERS]. This is not to diminish the argument as it's one of the most important we will have each year, but rather to observe that it's just another annual tradition in a pastime full of recurring references.
When the Hall voting is over, we rely on articles like this one to spark other debates, such as whether the National League should adopt the designated hitter. It's a debate that's 40 years old, but we keep going. When we've exhausted that for the season, we'll engage in rote arguments about anything -- instant replay, six-man rotations, remote trade scenarios -- these topics that hold us hostage like the slashers in horror movies. We know they're somewhere in the house waiting to jump out as soon as things are still, but nevertheless we allow ourselves to be baited. It's masochistic, but we crave it, as if a few moments of silence might suffocate baseball forever.
It's not just that the same debates reappear, but that every year is largely the same experience whether it's the hot stove, spring training, or the 162-game season. Every April, we'll delight in small sample sizes; every July, we'll debate the merits of the All-Star game and reach the same conclusion. If you went to your calendar now and put an exclamation point on any random day at the end of September, you'd have accurately predicted that day as an exciting day in baseball. It's not because you're clairvoyant, it's because tight division races happen nearly every year. Yet, we spend each season like a goldfish that is continually surprised to see the treasure chest at the bottom of its tank. We forget things knowingly.
Joseph was questioning everything now. How could he have married into a family where not only could the women not make a ham, but they never paused to question their behaviors. If Mary's family was content to recapitulate a nonsensical ham recipe that was handed down from generation to generation without ever attempting to understand or improve it, what else did they do without understanding? Childlike wonder and inquisitiveness? Mary's family had none of it.
At least the ham tasted good. Joseph grudgingly enjoyed it, but there was still something about it that didn't make sense to him. Joylessly, he drank eggnog and trimmed the tree* before opening an ill-fitting sweater his new in-laws had given to him that made him hate them even more than the ham had. Joseph faked a smile and shook a box that contained a butter dish that his in-laws inexplicably thought he would like, but before he could open it, the telephone rang. It was Mary's grandmother, her mother's mom, calling from the nursing home just to wish everyone a Merry Christmas.
*This fantasy of Christmas Eve tree trimming has always puzzled me. Do people actually wait until Christmas Eve to get a tree and its accoutrements, or is that just something happens in movies and stories to underscore that it's the Christmas season for those who might otherwise failed to figure it out?
Now that Grandma was on the phone, it was Joseph's chance for an answer. He mumbled to his beautiful bride, "Ham...ham...ask...ham...ham..." before shouting, "We must know about the ham!" Joseph didn't realize it, but his father-in-law, who has been largely absent from this story, shot him a stern look for acting like such a child. But still, Joseph continued to mumble, "hammy ham hammy ham ham," while Mary swatted at his hand, practice for their unborn child who would be a hounding nuisance as it got older.
Finally, Mary asked, "Grandma, why did you always cut the end of the ham off when you made it?" Joseph wrung his hands in anticipation of the response.
"Because it wouldn't fit in the pan," Grandma said. Because it wouldn't fit in the pan.
That was how the story ended when the priest told it, but I like to imagine that on the following Christmas, even though Mary and her mother had been erroneously wasting meat over the years, they decided to cut the end off anyway as a nostalgic nod to her grandmother -- and to irritate Joseph. As a devotee to baseball, it makes perfect sense for the story to end that way, coming full circle, as we knowingly embark on an endless stream of verbiage about hypothetical Hall of Fame ballots, designated hitters, and trade scenarios before settling in for a season of thinking that we know more than the professionals on the field.
Once you realize and accept that we're forever reenacting and even regurgitating the same experience, as though fandom were yearly trips to Disney World, there's a certain peace in knowing that we are on the road to nowhere. Even though we can no longer be surprised, we choose to keep participating because there is still the possibility of something new, the faint hope of change. We become experts, we learn more and study the nuances of the game as a way of elevating our experience. We don't leave the maze even though we are free to do so at any time, victims of baseball's Stockholm Syndrome, hoping this will be the day that we learn something, or better yet teach someone something, during our 365-day-a-year captivity.
It sounds bleak, but it's not; baseball is a relatively benign pastime, and if it weren't baseball, it would be something else we let possess us as a way to pass the time.

Homemade Lemon Chiffon Cake Recipe
"My mouth waters just thinking about this sweet, airy cake and its icing laced with the tang of lemon." says Wendy Littman in Bradenton, Florida. "It was my mom's signature cake."
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 eggs, separated
- 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons cold water
- 1/4 cup canola oil
- 1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 2 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 3 tablespoons butter, softened
- 2 tablespoons 2% milk
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 2-1/3 cups confectioners' sugar

This is for mcinque -- I don't do much baking, but I think that 1 cup of flour might be enough. This goes in a 7" tube pan. The other recipes that call for 2 cups of flour go in a 10" tube pan. Also this recipe only has 3 eggs separated compared to the other recipe(s) that call for 7 eggs separated. Hope this is helpful.

I would like to make this recipe because I love all things lemon. However, I am concerned that there is only one cup of flour. Can that be correct?

It is a danger
Tucson's officer pilots face every day they're on the job: patrolling the city
from the skies. Officer pilots work closely with ground units, helping
track suspects, they are the eye in the sky that's helping keep our city
Some on the
ground though, are not concerned about the officers' safety. It is not
just police helicopters, even medical helicopters, commercial jets, and
military plans are increasingly becoming targets of those pointing laser beams
at aircraft.
Jason Winsky,
who is in charge of government affairs for the Tucson Police Officers
Association said it was a serious and growing problem.
year, in the U.S., there were 3,000 documented incidents of aircraft being struck
by lasers."
Winsky said the
Phoenix area was number one in the area for laser strikes, and Tucson was not
far behind. Police pilots reported dealing with at least 50 to 60 laser
strikes in 2013.
Veteran police
officer pilot Chris Potter was manning one of the flights, when a laser pointer
targeted his chopper, leaving him with permanent eye damage.
"About 2.5
years ago I was coming back to the airport when a bright green laser entered my
aircraft through an open window on the right side, it burst into more than a
100 rays of blinding light, and contacted my right eye. It left me with
permanent eye damage in my right eye. It immediately felt like someone
had punched me and left a debris like glass. I had flash blindness
in there to where I could not see,".
Officer Potter
is still flying the Tucson skies, now he has dedicated his life to helping make
laser strikes a felony crime in Arizona. Potter is helping co-author a
bill that would make it a class 5 Felony to point lasers at any aircraft in the
sky. This included medical helicopters, military planes, commercial jets,
Tucson police
Sgt. Jason Winsky was in Phoenix on Thursday for a hearing in the Judiciary House
Committee. Winsky told Tucson News Now the bill unanimously passed, and
was on to the full House and Senate next for a hearing. After that it
would go to the Governor to sign into law.
According to
the FBI, Tucson is number one in the nation for arresting suspects accused of
pointing lasers at aircraft. Once the suspects were caught, police
said there was no punishment. They could charge the suspect with and
"endangering" charge, but it was a slap on the wrist because it was
not a felony.
Ethan Orr's office worked with law enforcement to help craft the bill.
Winsky said
there was no price tag attached to the bill, and there seemed to be no
opposition so far. Winsky stressed this bill was all about safety.

The Herald Bulletin
ANDERSON, Ind. —
There will be a new Nick Muller Memorial Baseball Tournament champion. Again.
No school has repeated as titlist in the event's 13-year history, and there have been four different winners in each of the past four years.
Anderson (2-0) is hoping to extend that streak to five.
The Indians continued their early offensive explosion with two more home runs and 11 total hits in a 16-0 rout of defending champion Alexandria on Friday at Memorial Field.
The Tribe has 33 runs, 24 hits and three homers in two tournament games this year. They'll make their ninth championship game appearance tonight at 7 against Pendleton Heights. Anderson, which played in seven straight title games from 2005 through 2011, hasn't won a Muller championship since 2007.
"I'm just glad to be in the (title) game," Indians coach Terry Turner said. "Last year was the first time in a long time we weren't in the final game. And I didn't like that feeling at all."
Despite the frigid wind chill Friday, Turner is feeling much better this time around.
Anderson got five strong innings from Curtis Wilson, who took a perfect game into the fourth and allowed just three hits while striking out eight. His start followed a solid four-inning outing by Ethan Duncan in a 17-1 opening-round win against Anderson Prep on Tuesday.
Alexandria pounded out 15 hits in a 13-0 first-round win against Lapel but managed just two singles and a double against Wilson.
"He was good," Closser said. "We knew Anderson was going to be good, I'm just disappointed in the way we played. We were tentative at the plate. (Wilson) got behind a lot. We knew a fastball was coming, but we weren't attacking. And our play in the field was just awful."
The Tigers (3-2) committed six errors, including four in the fourth inning as Anderson scored seven runs to break the game wide open.
The Indians, meanwhile, were flawless in the field.
Second baseman Zach Sanderson started the play of the day by ranging far to his left, scooping up the ball and flipping it with his glove to shortstop Eddie Boner all in one motion. Boner then made a quick turn at second base and threw to first baseman Drew Laughlin, who made a terrific scoop to complete the double play.
That erased Alexandria's first base runner and allowed Wilson to face the minimum 12 hitters through four innings.
"That was a pretty play," Turner said. "I was just glad to get the out at second, and they somehow got them both."
Anderson was no less impressive at the plate.
Jerred Quartier got the scoring started with a line drive homer to left field in the first inning, and Jake Fox capped it with a one-out grand slam off the scoreboard in left in the fifth. In all, seven Indians had at least one hit, eight scored at least one run and four drive in at least one run.
Quartier was 3-for-4 with three RBIs and missed hitting for just the second cycle in tournament history by a triple.
"It's pretty surprising," he said of the Indians' early run production after hitting outside for just one practice before the start of the season. "We knew we had the talent. But when you don't have the time hitting outside, it's impressive how fast it's come together."
Fox was 2-for-3, adding an RBI single in the third and a sacrifice fly in the fourth to finish with six RBIs. Designated hitter Jordan Hill — making his first start of the season — was 2-for-3 with two RBIs, and sophomore third baseman Tony Bova — making just his second varsity start — also finished 2-for-3 with two RBIs.
Sanderson was 2-for-2, Wilson went 2-for-3 and Laughlin was 2-for-4, with the trio combining to score four runs.
Anderson and Pendleton Heights will against each other for the sixth time in today's title game. The Indians won the first two meetings in 2001 and 2005, but the Arabians have won the past three — including an 8-4 decision in 2011.
Anderson beat Pendleton Heights last May to win its first sectional championship in 17 years, and the Tribe hopes to end a six-year Muller title drought today.
"It's very important," Fox said of bringing the Muller crown back to AHS. "We haven't been here in awhile. We won the sectional last year, and there's a lot riding on our backs this year."

Navigating anti-abortion online strategy
Updated: 6:15 p.m. EST with a clarified quote*.
In the seemingly endless war over abortion rights in America, battles are waged in legislatures, in courts and, most recently, on the Internet.
Updated: 6:15 p.m. EST with a clarified quote*.
In the seemingly endless war over abortion rights in America, battles are waged in legislatures, in courts and, most recently, on the Internet.
Sangeeta Ghosh, assistant corporate counsel for Kent County, Mich., says should the 51-year-old man charged in two cases of failing to disclose his HIV-positive status to sexual partners make bail, the county is prepared to ask a court to force him to take antiretroviral medications.
With the beginning of session only days away, Florida legislators have been busy filing a slew of anti-abortion bills. Add yet another to the list: a measure outlawing race- and gender-based abortions. The bill was filed by state Rep. Scott Plakon, R-Longwood.
An alleged admission by a 51-year-old Comstock Park, Mich., man that he attempted to infect hundreds of people with HIV through unprotected sexual activity and needle-sharing has sparked a media feeding frenzy, which HIV activists and legal experts have roundly censured as "sensationalist."
The Guttmacher Institute reports that a record-setting "1,100 reproductive health and rights-related provisions" were introduced by state legislators nationwide in 2011. The legislation that was eventually enacted resulted in 92 anti-abortion measures, specifically, in 24 states.
Adding to an ongoing list of controversial statements, American Family Association President Bryan Fischer is now claiming that HIV is not the cause of AIDS or the AIDS epidemic.
Last week, Florida state Rep. Charles Van Zant, R-Palatka, followed through on his announcement that he would bring back a bill that bans abortion in the state of Florida, providing only an exception to save the life of the
Florida state Sen. Mike Fasano, R-New Port Richey, has filed a bill for the upcoming session that would make January 2012 "Pregnancy Resource Center Month."

Kirk, Chris, and Barry,
Thanks for the opportunity to swim with your group. I was really moved by the camaraderie and open arms of your team. I also appreciate the additional instruction provided even though I was visiting. If I lived there, I know I'd enjoy being a part of your great team. I look forward to returning soon and hope that there'll be an open lane for me to join in.

I want to thank you guys for letting me be a part of your team while I was in Miami. I took time off for my foot and then my mom died so I am back in Houston. But the time I spent with you guys was great and made me feel a part of the city. Hopefully i will be back there and I will join you guys again. I am still swimming and using the strokes I learned from you guys. All the clubs I have been a part of swim wise you guys are the best. Thanks so much for letting me be a part of your team. Even though a short time.
