The Wayland
- Price band: 2/4
- Critics choice
Drink slinger and owner Jason Mendenhall (Madam Geneva) and chef-partner Robert Ceraso (Beppe) add DIY flourishes to the menu at this Alphabet City barroom, crafting proprietary bitters and jams from a pantry of seasonal ingredients. The selection includes accessible, affordable cocktails (such as the refreshing Barton Hollow, a blend of vodka, fresh lemon juice, pimentón, honey and basil; $11), tall boys of Narragansett lager ($5) and pours of San Fran Spout ($7)—a citrusy concoction of homemade cola and Fernet Branca. Solicitous staff, a young and attractive crowd, and the likelihood of a spontaneous sing-along around an upright piano all contribute to a convivial vibe that makes you want to call for another round.
- 700 E 9th St, (at Ave C), 10009
Jacob's Pickles
There's plenty for uptown brew geeks to get excited about at this spacious bar, which features 25 taps offering an all-domestic lineup. The list is broken down by state, with a stable of Northeast breweries (Pretty Things, Sixpoint) complemented by a constantly rotating roster of cross-country favorites, such as Founders Centennial IPA from Michigan ($8). Adventurous drinkers, meanwhile, can take advantage of cocktails like spicy brine margaritas ($12) served in mason jars. Supplement your selection with edibles like beer mussels ($17) made with Allagash white and paired with fresh-cut fries.
- Jacob's Pickles, 509 Amsterdam Ave between 84th and 85th Sts (212-470-5566)
Bourgeois Pig Brooklyn
- Price band: 2/4
- Critics choice
Those who enjoy the fin de siècle decadence of the East Village wine-and-beer bar Bourgeois Pig will find welcome upgrades at its new Brooklyn offshoot—notably, a full liquor license that is put to fine use in one of the city's most exciting new cocktail programs. Partner Frank Cisneros (Dram) has created an impressionistic drinks menu packed with smart touches, including a section that hijacks tiki and takes it on a tour of the Mediterranean. Served over ice pellets with a tuft of fresh mint, the Zombie Amaro ($14) gives the deceptively boozy classic an Italian makeover, incorporating bitter liqueurs such as Amaro Montenegro and Fernet Branca.
- 387 Court St, (between 1st and 2nd Pls)
Vin Sur Vingt
This charming West Village spot evokes the feeling of a Parisian bistro à vins—the type of humble, cafélike watering hole where you might while away an afternoon sipping beaujolais. The name is a pun referencing the phrase vingt sur vingt—"20 over 20," or a perfect score—and the fact that the bar pours 20 reds and 20 white wines by the glass ($9 and up). The rotating list is broken down by region, repping the familiar players—Bordeaux, Côtes du Rhône—while also dipping into less exposed areas like Corsica and Jura. If you're in the mood to experiment, opt for one of the flights of three-ounce pours (three for $18, five for $28) written on a chalkboard above the bar.
- 201 W 11th St between Seventh Ave South and Waverly Pl (212-924-4442)
As the weather warms, this casual 40-seat spot nearly doubles in capacity, thanks to its outdoor garden space. Snag a seat and sample a quirky cocktail menu, the handiwork of owner Jay Zimmerman. We liked the Love Makes You Feel Ten Feet Tall ($10), made from gin, pisco, Aperol, sweet vermouth and a bit of salt. Quell hunger pangs with small plates such as the ba'sik dog ($4), which is garnished with half-sour relish, poppy seeds and celery salt, or deviled duck eggs ($4) laced with chervil and black pepper. Should April showers spoil the party, you can cozy up at one of the indoor reclaimed-oak tables.
- 323 Graham Ave, (between Devoe St and Metropolitan Ave), 11211
Kaia Wine Bar
- Price band: 2/4
The excellent wine program at this rustic Yorkville spot—filled with dark wood and jars of fresh flowers—highlights varietals from up-and-coming and newly prominent regions, including New Zealand and Argentina. Guests can choose from 15 whites, 19 reds, and a smattering of sparkling, draft and dessert wines carefully curated by partner and Babbo vet Josh Levin. Try a glass of the crisp Sir Lambert sauvignon blanc ($11) from the owner and chefs' home country, South Africa; or stick a bit closer to home with the fruit-forward Shooting Star Blaufrankisch ($10) from Washington State. Don't miss the menu of exotic small plates: Ostrich sliders are enhanced with apricot compote and Kaia Perinaise (mayonnaise mixed with piri-piri sauce, a hot sauce made with African bird's-eye chilies; $7), and curry-spiced bobotie, a traditional South African baked meat dish, is topped with egg custard.
- 1614 Third Ave, (between 90th and 91st Sts), 10128
The Wren
- Price band: 2/4
The team behind Wilfie & Nell recently debuted its newest project—this rustic, high-ceilinged gastropub. Indecisive boozers will have a lot to mull over: There are ten domestic and European draft beers, five bottled brews and ciders, more than 20 international wines (two on tap) and a tidy list of seven uncomplicated house cocktails. Among the latter, we like the easy-sipping 7th ($12), a bright, springy blend of Tito's vodka, grapefruit and lime juices, and St. Germain elderflower liqueur. A small but hearty food menu features jarred spreads, including oxtail marmalade ($7), plus British pub favorites like fish-and-chips ($16). Do your best to grab one of the two cozy leather chairs in the miniature living room area up front; it's an ideal vantage point to watch the world go by through one of the Wren's enormous windows.
- 344 Bowery St, (between Bond and Great Jones Sts)
Booker and Dax
- Price band: 3/4
- Critics choice
Dave Arnold, the former culinary technology director of the French Culinary Institute, applies his wizardry to cocktails at this high-tech bar from the Momofuku crew. Although his red-hot poker—an electric rod used to heat up drinks—may not get as much use during the warmer months, there are plenty of other pyrotechnics to behold: Arnold uses a rotovap to distill liquids, and liquid nitrogen to chill glasses for quaffs like the bubbly, house-carbonated Hatchback (Campari, tequila, lime and grapefruit juice; $14). Luddites can opt for simpler concoctions, such as the Bloody Mary–esque Lady of the Night ($14), which blends reposado tequila, clarified sriracha and Worcestershire sauce, tomato water and distilled horseradish. Supplement your drinks with snacks such as the signature pork buns ($10).
- 207 Second Ave, (at 13th St (entrance on 13th St)), 10003
- Price band: 2/4
Oenophiles convene at this outpost of the popular San Francisco–based French bistro and wine bar, where the red decor meshes with plush, 1980s lounge chairs originally from the San Francisco Symphony Theater. The solid selection spans 80-plus bottles, with emphasis on natural and small-production vineyards. Several springy options hover in the $7-to-$16 range, including the Saint-Péray, a full-bodied white from the Rhône Valley ($12), and the Buzet, an earthy red from southwestern France ($14). Complementing the pours is a menu of Gallic bites, including oven-gratinéed escargots ($8) and a house-made foie gras torchon served with red-wine–poached pear and a port-wine reduction, pear jam and brioche ($12).
- 22 W 8th St, (between Fifth Ave and Macdougal Pl), 10011
Noorman's Kil
- Price band: 2/4
Tomato soup might be the traditional accompaniment to a grilled cheese, but at this Billyburg bar, whiskey is favored; so much, in fact, that there are more than 325 varieties to choose from. Go the savory route and pair the Maefred (double-cream Brie, local mushrooms and rosemary on ciabatta; $6) with the Bowmore 15-year single-malt Scotch ($12); or nibble on the Vernice (Connecticut ricotta, Nutella and seasonal fruit preserves on sourdough; $6) while sipping a dram of spicy Elmer T. Lee bourbon ($8). On the weekend you might have to elbow through a lively crowd—and perhaps a skateboard or two—for a seat at one of the wooden booths; but once you're settled in, the staff is available to help you navigate the extensive selection. If whiskey's not your thing, choose from a dozen domestic beers on tap or a selection of six wines.
- 609 Grand St, (between Leonard and Lorimer Sts), 11211
Añejo Tequileria y Restaurante
- Price band: 2/4
Former Top Chef competitor Angelo Sosa lends his talents to this Hell's Kitchen agave den. Grab a stool near the front floor-to-ceiling windows and try one of the tequila tasting flights ($15–$75) to compare and contrast the terroir of different regions of Mexico. You can also sip on a single variety served with a traditional sangrita (a chaser that complements the spirit's flavor), or go for one of the tequila- or mescal-based cocktails: The Piña Oaxaca ($10) is a spicy-smoky blend of Sombra Joven mescal, fresh pineapple and lime juices, chipotle and nutmeg. Sosa's take on Mexican small plates is worth a look as well—the braised queso fresco with ancho chilies and achiote ($11) and short rib tacos with mole and charred pico de gallo ($14) are both winners.
- 668 Tenth Ave, (at 47th St)
The Saint Austere
- Price band: 1/4
Gather your friends and claim one of the wood-topped communal tables at this laid-back bar. Herald the warm weather with European beer—a globe-trotting mix of drafts and bottles—and Old World wines available by the glass, half-bottle and bottle. Split the Bodegas Castro Martin Albariño ($36) if you're seeking a white with minerality, or share the Château Fonréaud merlot ($40) if you fancy something smoky. Once you're a few rounds in, you'll want some sustenance. We're fans of the delicate fried artichokes with garlic, herbs, lemon and aioli ($9) and creamy polenta with sausage and cipollini onions ($10). If you're stopping by for some day drinking during brunch hours, opt for the French toast made with panettone, crispy prosciutto and cayenne pecan butter ($10).
- 613 Grand St, (between Lorimer and Leonard Sts), 11211
- Price band: 2/4
- Critics choice
Michael Cesari, Alexis Kahn and Noah Shannon are following up the success of Cesari's first two joints (Earl's, Vinyl Wine Shop) with this casual wine bar, whose moniker is short for Alcohol by Volume. If your approach to vino goes beyond red versus white, you're in luck: The list here is also divvied up by more specific flavor profiles, such as "floral, spicy, exotic whites" and "soft, fresh, smooth reds," so you can find one that suits your palate. Rounding out the beverage selections are low-proof cocktails made with fortified wines, and a selection of inventive nonalcoholic creations, including the lightly tart Hibiscus Lemonade Cooler ($3.50), which merges a hibiscus cordial, lemon and simple syrup. Snag a seat right next to the floor-to-ceiling front windows if you can, and bask in the ample sunlight as you nibble on fried pickles with miso mayo ($5) and other small bites from chef Corey Cova.
- 1504 Lexington Ave, (at 97th St)
Earl's Beer and Cheese
- Price band: 1/4
- Critics choice
Despite its minimalist offerings—four drafts, a few wines and about eight canned beers—Earl's keeps regulars interested with frequent turnover and fair prices (most beers go for $3 to $7; growler fills $17 to $22). Recent craft pours have included Founders Red Rye, a hoppy amber ale, though on a balmy night, you might just cool down with blue-collar classics like Schaefer. Bar owners (and childhood friends) Michael Cesari and Adam Clark gave their tiny sliver of real estate a backwoods feel, covering one wall with a hunting mural, transforming the bathroom into a woodsy outhouse and installing a tiny bar that's as makeshift as any you'd find in a friend's basement.
- 1259 Park Ave, (between 97th and 98th Sts), 10029

MADISON (WKOW)--Most of us could probably use some extra money these days.
But finding the right opportunity and the time to earn extra income can be tough.
"We were taught at a young age to work our way, hard work is respectable," says Shelia Robertson of Blanchardville.
Shelia and her husband, Dan, are still sticking those principles. She recently agreed to work more hours at her job and he has been picking up side work from his landscaping job to bring in extra income.
And the Robertsons aren't the only ones. In fact, three of the four Project Money teams have regular side jobs in addition to their full-time jobs. Jennifer Jones works at a local outdoor store.
The Browns have a busy day... everyday. They have an early morning newspaper delivery route.

When discussing possible replacements, four names were mentioned: 1) Jon Gruden 2) Mike Leach 3) Tim Brewster 4) Lane Kiffen (because it is legally required that he be mentioned in every search) I found it interesting that Brewster is already getting that kind of rub after his quick turn-around.

SEATTLE, WA - State officials will use minors in marijuana-buying stings next year when Washington's new legal pot stores open.
Charged with implementing the new law that allows adults over age 21 to possess an ounce of pot, the state Liquor Control Board already uses minors in "controlled buys" of alcohol at retail stores. The board's enforcement chief said using the same strategy with marijuana makes sense, especially because federal officials want to make sure Washington restricts minors' access to the drug.
The agency also will ask the Legislature to set penalties for minors who attempt to purchase legal pot and those who use or manufacture fake ID cards for that purpose.

Robert Griffin III was hit hard by the Colts defense when he was under center and the Redskins defense is returning the favor to Andrew Luck, who was sacked twice in three plays FedEx Field Saturday afternoon.
The first is a complete break down by the Colts offensive line. Ryan Kerrigan and London Fletcher both got there, splitting the sack. There were a few different Redskins players who could have had the sack.
On the next sack -- two plays later -- Luck tried to step up into the pocket but Redskins defensive end Stephen Bowen was bursting through the line at the same time and Bowen was able to get a hold of Luck and pull him down.
At least through one quarter the Colts and Redskins defenses are the ones making headlines. Just like everyone thought, right?

I'm pleased to share with you the Microsoft 2011 Citizenship Report. The report provides an overview and assessment of our work over the past fiscal year (July 2010 to June 2011) to serve communities and work responsibly.
We release our Citizenship Report at the same time as our Annual Financial Report to give our broad base of stakeholders a full view of Microsoft's financial and non-financial performance. Corporate responsibility means more than returning value to shareholders – it means engaging with stakeholders to address our responsibilities in the areas of environmental, social and governance issues. We believe all corporations have, as part of their license to operate, a responsibility to contribute positively to society on a global scale. To quote our company's founder, Bill Gates: "It takes more than great products to make a great company."
Our Citizenship Report details our efforts to increase business value while also benefitting society. Our goal is to provide continued transparency and accountability across our business operations. To support this, we have evolved our reporting to candidly and thoughtfully discuss our social and environmental performance, our progress against goals and our focus going forward. We clearly share where we are on track, where we are falling short and how we intend to close the gaps.
Throughout the report you will find examples of how our Citizenship efforts are influencing how we conduct our business, engage with partners and stakeholders, and fulfill our commitment to strengthening communities and providing opportunities for individuals around the world.
I'm proud of the progress we made this past fiscal year. The following are just a few examples:
The report also discusses areas where we have opportunities for improvement, such as continuing to diversify our workforce and reducing our carbon footprint. The data and analysis in the report and the conversations they inspire will inform continued improvement in our business and Citizenship performance.
I hope you can take a few moments to review the report online, and I also encourage you to visit the Microsoft Local Impact Map to find stories of individuals and communities that have been impacted by our programs. For more on our strategies, areas of focus, and latest news, visit www.microsoft.com/citizenship.
Finally, I hope you will share your thoughts with us and provide feedback on our report, please e-mail us at: email@example.com.

The Herald Bulletin
---- — MIDDLETOWN — The current senior class at Shenandoah never has experienced a football season that ended before the sectional championship round.
On Friday, the Raiders (9-2) will make their fourth consecutive Class 2A sectional title game appearance by hosting Indianapolis Scecina (9-2). Shenandoah is 1-2 in its previous championship tries, with the victory coming in thrilling fashion last season against Heritage Christian at Dale Green Field.
John Harrell's highly respected high school football website anticipates another close game, predicting the visiting Crusaders will pull out a 35-28 victory. Scott Widner has won 56 games in his six seasons as head coach of the Raiders, and he's not making any predictions.
He's just happy to have another big game coming up.
"Most of our kids are still excited about playing football," Widner said. "We're excited to play another game this week."
After a slow start last week, Shenandoah rolled past rival Knightstown 40-20 to set up the showdown with Scecina. The Crusaders, who finished as Class A state runners-up in each of the past two seasons before moving up a class because of the IHSAA's new success factor, advanced with a 48-8 victory against Winchester last week.
The Raiders played a pair of Indianapolis-area teams recently, losing to Cardinal Ritter 63-35 in the regular season finale and trouncing Broad Ripple 49-6 in the sectional opener. Those teams both are led by their quarterbacks, with Jake Purichia chasing state passing records at Ritter and C.J. Shittu providing a dual threat as a passer and rusher at Broad Ripple.
Scecina has a more balanced squad with weapons all over the field. The Crusaders average 34.9 points per game and allow just 11.7. They've scored at least 48 points in each of the past three games and have allowed 20 or more points just three times all year.
"It's definitely to our advantage that we've played a couple of really good football teams this year," Widner said. "In the past, when we've played in the sectional title game, we've been kind of shocked by the speed and physicality of the game."
Shenandoah lost its first two sectional championship appearances under Widner, falling 28-25 at Speedway in 2010 and 36-20 against Guerin Catholic in 2011. Last season, the Raiders rushed for 500 yards and rallied in the fourth quarter to beat Heritage Christian 41-35 and claim their first postseason title in eight years.
Lane Young scored the winning touchdown in that contest, and the senior power back has 1,092 yards and a team-high 21 touchdowns on 149 rushing attempts this season. Fellow senior Chandler Hale leads Shenandoah with 1,252 rushing yards on 125 carries. He's scored 15 touchdowns.
They're part of a core group that has played in several championship games and will lead the youngsters Friday.
"Experience helps quite a bit," Widner said. "(These seniors) had good leaders before them. They're good kids, and they do things the right way."
Widner doesn't expect the same type of offensive shootout against Scecina that last year's title game turned into against Heritage Christian. But the level of athletes on the opposing sideline is similar, and the atmosphere should remain consistent with another large home crowd.
Shenandoah's proud of pushing its program to the point where playing for a sectional title is an expectation. Now, the Raiders are hoping to start another tradition.
"Hopefully, we can make it to another level where we're used to playing for regional championships as well," Widner said. "We'd like to raise our expectations to even playing a week longer."

ZIONSVILLE — Like they have done throughout the IHSAA girls' soccer tournament, the Brownsburg Bulldogs made it memorable Wednesday night.
But the storybook run ended in the regional opener at Zionsville as Brebeuf Jesuit beat the Bulldogs 4-3.
"We played well, we just got a couple bad bounces," Brownsburg coach Phil Slavens said.
The loss ends Brownsburg's undefeated streak of eight games (four wins, four ties) and follows their postseason wins of 9-0 against Mooresville and 1-0 overtime sectional championship versus Avon.
Wednesday's defeat also marks the beginning Slavens' retirement after a 15-year career at Brownsburg.
"It's sad, it really is. I just love this team," he said. "I've had a great run, I've had a lot of great teams, I've had a ton of tremendous players and none better than this team here. They showed so much heart the last eight games and I could not be more proud of them. It's a little sad but there again, I've been so blessed to have such good teams and to be at such a great school."
The Braves (9-7-3) scored two goals in the last 12 minutes and withstood a furious rally from Brownsburg (5-10-4). With less than two minutes remaining in the game, the Bulldogs attempted back-to-back corner kicks and had multiple chances for a goal but came up just short.
"I thought a ball was in. I really did," Slavens said. "But the linesman is on the line so I guess it wasn't. But we had chances."
Brebeuf's Courtney Burks scored the only goal of the first half with 2:22 remaining and 1-0 at the break.
But after halftime, offense exploded from both teams.
Brownsburg needed only 25 seconds to tie the score when Sophie McFarland placed a perfect cross from the right side of the box on the head of Masey Brunn.
"I was really watching the ball and I didn't see Masey come in there," Slavens said. "She made just a great play."
Two and a half minutes later, Hannah Mummert found Sydney Marette for the Bulldogs goal and to take the 2-1 lead.
But the Braves answered back six minutes later for the second tie of the game.
Brownsburg wasn't ready to sit back yet either as two minutes after Brebeuf scored the 2-2 tying goal, Victoria Edwards blasted a free kick from 25' out to give the Bulldogs the lead with 29:46 remaining.
The Braves were able to score the 3-3 tying goal with 11:40 left and the game-winning goal with 9:46 remaining.
Nine seniors will graduate from the Brownsburg squad in Alex Gotkowski, Taylor Carter, Leah Thompson, Lindsay Miller, Samantha Peery, Alexa Stegemoller, Rachal Sperka, Edwards and Taylor Stivers, who returned from a severe right ankle injury to play in the Bulldogs' final game of the season.
"I'm especially proud of these seniors, they really emptied the tank," Slavens said.
Through the past nine games and sectional championship, the season drastically turned around for the Bulldogs who opened the season 1-9.
"It's been phenomenal, it really has," Slavens said. "About halfway through the season I was thinking, 'Man, can this get over quick enough' because we were horrible. But the last half of the season they have played so very, very well. It's been a delight to be here."
The gracious coach also wanted to show appreciation for his time at the helm of the Bulldogs.
"I just want to thank Brownsburg High School for giving me the opportunity they gave me 15 years ago to do this," Slavens said. "I know I'm not the best coach around but I've had players who have just absolutely kept me young."
Instead of riding off into the sunset, Slavens said he's going to stay busy.
"I'm going to take a year off and grow a garden," he said. Sit on the front porch a little bit and I may go back to coach little kids. I'm sure I'll be around."

I like fast cars and can now know the super fast cars by rating.
you got the pagani zondas top speed a bit wrong cos it says 251mph and its actually 215mph still nice cars.
It's a nice list but I can't believe they always leave out the McLaren F1. That was the original high-dollar car, priced between 900k and 1M.
It should have been on this list.
Speed limit optional: the Fast Lane prank .
If u Need Speed u have to pay but if speed is u r passion speed wants BLOOD.
Expensive cars need expensive shoes & if $ is no object,
Try those LEXANI million dollar wheels on for size.
So expensive and sooo ugly..
RE: This is not only beautiful but also fastest car of the world.

Tricky one this!
beautify: add beauty to.
you beautify
he (who) beautifies
1-It's you who beautify the clothes, not the clothes which beautify (they beautify) you!
*2-It's you who beautifies the clothes, not the clothes which beautify you! Not good: you beautify, not 'Who beautifies?' nor '*you beautifies' The relative pronoun 'who' represents 'you', second person singular or plural. Cf Who is this damsel, who beautifies my house so?
3-It's you who beautify the clothes, not the clothes that beautify you!
If you put on a pirate accent, I suppose you could say: "You beautifies them there clothes baay-u-ti-fully, darlin'" Best not in an ESL exam though!

When you think of Maine, usually lobster or moose come to mind. Elephants are probably a little more unlikely.
But the New England state is now home to two retired and injured circus elephants, which are being cared for at Hope Elephants, a newly built rehab facility.
The non-profit is run in part by veterinarian Jim Laurita, who was a handler for Opal and Rosie years ago, when he worked with a traveling circus. The Asian elephants, which are now in their 40s, are being treated for nerve damage, leg and foot problems.
"Our goal is rehabilitation for the elephants, education for the local school kids, with the kind of greater goal of bringing the conservation message to the kids," Laurita said.

I may not be ordering the event, but that doesn't mean I can't bet on it right? UFC 159 looks like it has a few opportunities to make some coin, and I desperately need to make money since I'm way down this year (and this vacation wasn't cheap!). Normally the undercard is where the most value sits for UFC events in my eyes but I like the main card here too. Here's a look at the whole list of lines (via BestFightOdds):.
First off, Michael Bisping is criminally underrated in terms of odds here. Like our own Fraser Coffeen said in the staff predictions, people always seem to underrate Bisping and overrate Alan Belcher. I believe Bisping has him everywhere and should take a comfortable win, and getting him at anything under -200 is good business. -165? Yes please.
Also on the main card, I like Roy Nelson around -230. Big Country's not going to get knocked out or outwrestled, and what else can Cheick Kongo to win? Win a technical striking decision? Maybe, but I don't see it.
As for the undercard, there are a few tasty morsels there too. Leonard Garcia at -175 isn't too bad, considering this is the most winnable fight he's had in about 11 years. Nick Catone as a dog is worth the price to me. And I think Steven Siler has what takes to finish Kurt Holobaugh, and basically even money is something I'm jumping on.
Recommended plays
1.25 unit on Bisping at -165
1 unit on Nelson at -233
.75 on Garcia at -175
.5 on Siler at --115
Last event:: UFC on Fox 7 - 1-3, -.65 unit
2013 standings: 10-22, -8.01 units

Former ALS building focus of Council, County Board meetings
The former Aurora Loan Service property will be a focal point for both the Scottsbluff city council and the Scotts Bluff County Commissioners Tuesday evening.
The Scottsbluff council will go into executive session to discuss two offers from local businessmen for the former ALS office building that faces Fifth Avenue. City Manager Rick Kuckkahn says the offers, $70,000 from Arlo Construction and $100,000 from 21st Century Equipment, take into account that a lot of rehabilitation will be needed, including asbestos abatement in and around the heating ducts. The building is valued at much more than the offers but Kuckkahn says the council will need to consider the benefits of having the building back on the tax rolls.
District 12 Probation Executive Director Linda Buehler will be back before the commissioners to discuss a proposed Probation Reporting Center. Buelher has recommended the metal building on the former ALS property as the location for the Reporting Center.
The county by statute is responsible for providing space for the local probation employees and the Reporting Center would do that and provide rehabilitative services that might keep low risk offenders out of jail. County Board Chair Mark Masterton says the project makes sense but the county has issues funding it, especially in a tight budget that required the laying off of correction employees and severe cuts by department heads.

FORT COVINGTON — Four Bombay residents were taken to the hospital after a one-car accident April 17.
Quinton M. Wilson, 17, was traveling westbound on County Route 4 in the Town of Fort Covington when he reached down to the center console of the vehicle to pick up a drink and exited the north shoulder of the roadway, striking a tree head-on, Malone-based State Police said.
Wilson was taken to Alice Hyde Medical Center for treatment of minor cuts and bruising, police said. Also taken to Alice Hyde were Jordan W. Oliveira, 15 ; Christian B. Oliveira, 17; Christian Duncan, 17; and Devlin M. Laughing, 16.
Everyone was released from Alice Hyde, except for Jordan Oliveira, who was taken to Fletcher Allen Medical Center for treatment of a broken pelvis and an injured leg, police said.
Wilson was ticketed for driving with a junior license with passengers younger than 21, a violation.

PHOENIX (AP) - The Arizona Senate has passed a bill that would make it easier to fire some low-performing teachers. House Bill 2500 would allow experienced teachers to be placed on probationary status if they received the lowest rating on one yearly performance review. That status allows a school board to fire a teacher with little notice. The Senate voted 19-11 to pass the bill on Tuesday, nearly two works after rejecting the legislation. The Senate voted 14-15 against the measure on April 4, with two Republicans joining all 13 Senate Democrats in rejecting the bill. The Republican-led House passed the bill in a 50-7 vote in February. Critics say an overhaul of evaluations passed last year still isn't fully implemented and lawmakers should allow that to happen before passing additional changes.
For more information on HB 2500: www.azleg.gov/DocumentsForBill.asp?Bill_Number=HB2500&Session_ID=110

JMM vs Mayweather 2, How well would Marquez fair now against him?

I know everyone saw the first fight and has already made up in their minds that JMM wouldn't stand much of a chance but you have to consider all of these factors before rushing to judgment based on their previous bout:
1. Floyd moved around using his legs throughout most of the fight and is now older and tends to stay in the pocket and take more punches as a result of it.
2. Floyd is older, yeah, I know so is Marquez but inactivity by Mayweather could affect his timing and it appears to me that he is missing a lot of punches that he used to land with ease before he started taking longer breaks in between fights since getting older, plus with JMM's effective counterpunching, increased speed and power it probably wouldn't take as much to at least knock Floyd down.
3. JMM has trained correctly and it showed in his last fight and he will not be grossly outweighed like he was in their first bout.
4. I think JMM has proven now that he has the power to KO anyone at WW so he may have a slight punching power advantage over FMJr even at his advanced age.
5. Confidence (not Overconfidence), well we know who's confidence is riding higher now. JMM can go into the rematch thinking to himself "I faced the man some people said that you've been ducking for years", so with this it runs in his favor but wait, Floyd does have the win over him and is undefeated, younger, taller and the P4P Champion.
Now, I'm not saying that JMM wins in a rematch but I think he fairs far better than the first bout so don't shoot me too full of holes for suggesting this idea that he does fair better. lol
Your thoughts???

Marquez DID just come off of the BIGGEST win of his career. Hmm....
When everybody thought Cotto was done, he beat Margarito and got a big fight.
When everybody thought Mosley was, he beat Margarito and got a big fight.
When everybody thought Ortiz was done, he beat Berto and got a big fight.
Wasn't this JMM/Pac 4, the biggest knockout and upset of the year?
Hasn't Marquez always complained about how he made weight for the first Mayweather fight? Didn't be look better in the 3rd and 4th Pacquiao fight because he put on the weight properly this time around? Didn't he weigh 144 when Floyd weighed 146 for the first fight? What would be wrong with Juan making that SAME 144 lbs comfortably this time? Didn't Juan just prove that he's comfortable fighting at WW?
Hmmm....me thinks that Marquez just ruined Guerrero's plans.

Product Information
Most binocular straps either have no lens protection at all or have a large, unwieldy storage container that offers no attachment or tether while optics are in use. The LockDown provides the best of both worlds using a pliable cover for a low profile fit and ShockCord Security Straps that fasten your optics for maximum security.
- Anti-Bounce Technology safely secures binoculars to your chest without permitting the movement or bounce associated with traditional harness designs. You can crawl, climb a treestand, even run without the fear of your binoculars moving around or making unnecessary noise.
- Tension Free Glassing allows you to draw your binoculars to your face with a single motion. The 50-50 pre-load design utilizes the ShockCord Security strap for maximum protection during storage while being completely free of load during use.
- Moldable Security Cover protects a wide variety of optics. The laminated design features scratch resistant materials inside, an aluminum core for memory and a durable noise resistant fabric for the exterior.
- Multiple Adjustments for personalized sizing and comfort. Whether it's your waist size, optics size, optic cover position, optics tension or harness positioning, you can accommodate an array of adjustments with a single model.
- ShockCord Security Straps fasten tightly to your optics for maximum security while still maintaining tension free glassing.
- Streamlined Straps are lightweight, silent and designed to be compatible with backpacks
- For optics 6" to 7.5" in length

The food was excellent and the evenings were memorable with the staff putting on fantastic shows.
The tours I had organised privately for our group of six and they all went off very well. Our highlight would have been the 1 hour trishaw ride around Saigon, that was fabulous.
In Sihanoukville, we just got the free transfer bus into the city and then we got a trishaw to take us for a ride along the beaches and we went to the market. At the supermarkets you can get the cheapest liquor we have ever seen. We took some pencils etc to hand out to the children, some guests took clothes and food to the orphanages.
In Thailand we managed to get an hours ride on the Chao Phraya River which was lovely, plus we went to the Grand Palace and the weekend markets.
We always enjoy Kuala Lumpur and Singapore, This time in Singapore we had breakfast with the animals, before we went shopping.
A great holiday and can thoroughly recommend it.

Vancouver Canucks center Ryan Kesler recently underwent successful shoulder surgery to repair a torn labrum, team president and general manager Mike Gillis announced Tuesday. Kesler is expected to make a full recovery in six months.
"After consultation with our team physicians following the playoffs, it was deemed that Ryan would require a procedure on his shoulder," Gillis said. "We expect a full recovery and determined this procedure would best serve both Ryan and the team's long term goals."
Kesler played in 77 regular season games this year, notching 22 goals and 27 assists. He ended the season on a 17-game scoreless streak, however. He had three assists during the Canucks' five-game exit to the Los Angeles Kings in the first round of the 2012 NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs.

Contact Person Quick Synopsis: Hi, I'm Tim Miller. I own & operate a small niche management company specializing in nice vacation rentals on the beach in Cancun Mexico. I would say my knowledge base of Cancun & the hotel zone is very solid. I own vacation rental property in Cancun, I have worked in Cancun, and I take a strong personal interest in each & every unit I manage in Cancun. Almost every picture you see of any one of the rentals or at any one of the resorts was taken by myself personally. I believe that I offer some services & items that currently keep us a head of our competition. These things may appear small on the surface, but I would offer for your consideration the thought that excellence can often be found in the details. For example, if you would like to enjoy your favorite drinks down by the pool or beach we welcome you to use the special cooler you will find in any of our units. It is on wheels, super easy to take with you and is also very handy as a pool or beach side table. The convenience might only be out shined by the savings on drinks! This item has been pre-approved for use by the resort, when you are staying at one of our vacation rentals.
Lastly, it's important to know you are in good hands once you arrive to Cancun. Being a small company, I work with a small, tight knit group of terrific people in Cancun that are there for you, our guests. I can arrange for a trip to the Super Walmart grocery store early on in your stay if you like, which saves you money. (there are no grocery stores in the hotel zone-only convenience stores). The cost for this service is $40 & is paid directly to whomever takes you shopping. Everyone in our group in Cancun speaks terrific English and are among the nicest people I have ever known. If you have a need for babysitting services? If so, we can help. Would you like some real Mexican culture? I can arrange to send a professional chef to cook & clean up for you, & at very reasonable prices. Or, maybe you would like to go snorkeling or fishing. One of our managers in Cancun is a dear friend of mine. His family comes from many generations of fisherman. Now, he offers both snorkeling and fishing services. The tours are private. His boat holds up to 14, and is shaded. He can take you to special areas that the tour operators don't go. I have been out on Mike's boat several times & I highly recommend this experience. If you have 6 or more, the cost is $55 per person cash. The tour is about 5 or 6 hours and it includes lunch on a small island he takes you to.
Most commonly questions: Should we rent a car? You don't need to. Cabs and buses run 24/7 & are quick & easy access from the resort. If you prefer a rental car, parking is available. Please see our site for a link to the lowest Cancun rental car rates we have been able to find.
Are there any special rates available on this property and is it available for my dates? We frequently have special rates available that may apply to your dates. Please call or email for any specials we may have on this property or one of our other properties. Please don't forget to include the dates you might be interested in traveling.
Where is the resort located? Please see my website for a map & precise location.

|Gonzaga is No. 1 in AP Top 25 for 1st time
|Tuesday, March 05, 2013 10:04 AM
By NICHOLAS K. GERANIOS
The Associated Press
SPOKANE, Wash. — The to-do list for the Gonzaga basketball team got shorter Monday: For the first time, the Zags were ranked No. 1 in The Associated Press Top 25 poll.
Sweet but it may get bumpier from there.
Next: Avoiding the potholes that have stopped every other No. 1 this season, then finding a way to the Final Four.
"We don't believe there is any jinx," assistant coach Tommy Lloyd said, subbing for coach Mark Few, who was said to be fly-fishing and unavailable for comment. "Obviously, it's a dream for us, the ultimate accomplishment."
The fact that Few would skip perhaps the biggest day in program history to go fishing says much about the priorities of the coach who helped build and has sustained Gonzaga's success.
Few has repeatedly said he enjoys the balance between work and family time that Gonzaga provides, a major reason he has not left for a bigger program.
Students celebrated the No. 1 ranking on the downtown campus Monday and the food services department wheeled out a 20-foot cake that read "Congratulations Zags."
Staying No. 1 has been tough this season, with Gonzaga the fifth school to hold the spot after replacing Indiana this week. The others were Duke, Louisville and Michigan.
Gonzaga, a small Jesuit school in Spokane, is where crooner Bing Crosby went and where John Stockton threaded pinpoint passes. It has the best record in Division I at 29-2 following weekend wins against BYU and Portland. The Hoosiers, beaten by Minnesota last week, dropped to No. 2.
"We're not necessarily in pursuit of a ranking," Lloyd said. "We're trying to get to the NCAA tournament. When that's over, as coaches we can look back and realize what an accomplishment it is and how difficult it is."
The Zags are the 57th school to be ranked No. 1 since the AP poll began in January 1949. The school is considered a mid-major and reached No. 2 for the first time last week. Now it will play for the first time at No. 1 on Saturday night in the West Coast Conference semifinals.
The school received 51 first-place votes from the 65-member national media panel, 44 more than Indiana. Duke, winners over Miami after a loss to Virginia, remained third with five first-place votes.
Kansas and Georgetown both jumped two spots to fourth and fifth. The Hoyas received the other two first-place votes. Miami, Michigan, Louisville, Kansas State and Michigan State rounded out the top 10. Virginia Commonwealth and UCLA, both ranked earlier in the season, returned to the poll at 21st and 23rd, respectively.
Gonzaga's rise to the top comes 14 years after the school burst onto the national scene with a surprise run to the final eight of the NCAA tournament. Since then, Few has guided the Zags to 12 conference titles, 13 trips to the tournament and four trips to the round of 16.
Along the way, Gonzaga has produced a slew of NBA players, including Dan Dickau, Adam Morrison, Ronny Turiaf, Austin Daye, Robert Sacre and Jeremy Pargo. The team features players from Canada, France, Germany and Poland along with Stockton's son, David.
Kelly Olynyk, the 7-foot Canadian center, leads the team in scoring at nearly 18 points a game and averages seven rebounds. He calls the No. 1 ranking a "great milestone."
Olynyk never dreamed that he would be playing for the No. 1 team in the nation when he chose Gonzaga over other offers.
"It never even crossed my mind," he added.
Spokane is a city of 200,000 near the Idaho and Canadian borders. The Lilac City is a blue-collar town, far from the high-tech wealth of the Seattle area. But basketball is one place where the state's second-largest city outshines Seattle. Gonzaga, in fact, is the first team from the state of Washington to be ranked No. 1.
At the time of Gonzaga's run to the final eight, the school had fewer than 5,000 students and was struggling with enrollment and budget issues.
Today, enrollment is at 7,800 and new buildings are popping up on campus all the time. The 6,000-seat McCarthey Athletic Center, which opened in 2004, has been sold out for all but one game. The Zags have rewarded their fans with a 120-8 home record there.
That success hasn't come easy. Every year, the Zags seem to take on a tougher non-conference schedule to make up for their WCC schedule. This year they own wins over No. 9 Kansas State, No. 13 Oklahoma State, plus Clemson, Oklahoma, Baylor, Washington State and West Virginia. Their only losses are to Illinois and Butler.
For now, the Zags, newly-anointed No. 1, head to the league tournament in Las Vegas. Lloyd knows such honors go only so far.
"I don't think those teams are going to care where we are ranked," he added.
Baylor still No. 1 in AP women's basketball poll: Baylor remained No. 1 in The Associated Press women's basketball poll for a ninth straight week while Toledo entered the Top 25 for the first time since 2001.
The Lady Bears cruised to wins over Oklahoma and West Virginia. Baylor, which received all 40 first place votes for the second straight week, will play in the Big 12 tournament this weekend before hosting the first two rounds of the NCAA tournament.
Next are No. 2 Notre Dame and No. 3 Connecticut. Stanford and California are fourth and fifth. Duke fell one spot to sixth. Kentucky, Penn State, Tennessee and Maryland round out the first 10.
Toledo has won 14 straight and is No. 25. The Rockets were last ranked Nov. 19, 2001 for a week before falling out. LSU also jumped in at No. 22 after beating Kentucky, Alabama and Texas A&M over the past eight days. Iowa State and Purdue dropped out.

Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
Katherine Hooker and the Duchess of Cambridge share more than a first name; the stylish Londoners have mastered the distinction between conservative and commonplace—expert tailoring. Though the designer's following truly exploded after Kate Middleton landed on best-dressed lists wearing the designer's widely popular Buxton and Contrast coats, to her credit, the U.K.-based design veteran had cultivated quite a respectable clientele prior to that (aside from Middleton, she counts Yoko Ono, Meryl Streep, and Zoe Saldana as A-list fans). Luckily for stateside coveteurs of Hooker's line, she's brought her New York pop-up shop back to Soho for its third season (it's her only bricks-and-mortar presence outside of London), where they can buy pieces from her ready-to-wear line (Fall '12 and Spring '13) or make use of her made-to-order services.
"[Kate] is an absolutely lovely person, and she's got great style," Hooker tells Style.com of her royal fan. "She's had a very positive impact and is a fantastic person to have on all sides affecting [our growth]." Growth, indeed. Over a decade ago, Hooker traveled to India in hopes of replicating a beloved vintage jacket; 20 attempts and six silhouettes later, she returned to England with a newfound fashion addiction. Nowadays, her offerings include menswear, waistcoats, and accessories—particularly, a hot-off-the-press Harvey messenger bag. Though Ms. Middleton hasn't placed her requests for next season, we can already see her in numbers like the Cain blazer and matching pencil skirt. We'd suggest you place your order now. The designer is set to expand her U.S. presence in the near future, starting with a New York showroom. Here, a first look at her Spring '13 collection.
The Katherine Hooker pop-up shop, open through October 14, is located at 436 Broadway, NYC.

Language Files…
Hey guys,
Quick question. I followed the directions in the wiki as best I could for the modification of terms on the site (that is, I would like to change "Groups" to "Training Areas" and "Friends" to "Colleagues" etc.
I made the MO and PO files with PoEdit and uploaded them to wp-content/languages but didn't see any change.
I tried adding the old BP support PHP, which of course just caused weirdness. So I'm kind of stuck.
Any ideas as to what I'm missing?
The language files are here: http://wyoln.org/wp-content/-languages
(I added the "-" in front of the folder to complete remove the files, because it was causing some strange display stuff in the group creation process and we had to show inprogress work to clients.)
~ Thanks everyone!

The Pierce County Council has barred big trucks from using a busy bridge connecting River Road to the city of Fife.
The council's action Tuesday extends a restriction that was approved by the Fife City Council in March to reduce traffic congestion on the George Milroy Bridge, which is jointly owned by the city and the county.
The limits prevent semi trucks towing trailers longer than 28 feet from crossing the steel-truss, two-lane bridge that spans the Puyallup River at 66th Avenue East and River Road.
The bridge's narrow lanes make it impossible for long trucks to use without crossing over into the lane of oncoming traffic. The congestion can result in cars having to back off the bridge to let trucks pass.
Built in 1931, the Milroy Bridge already has a height limit. It is considered functionally obsolete and fracture critical, meaning it is far narrower than comparable contemporary bridges and failure of one component could cause failure of the entire span.
The county prohibition will take effect after the ordinance is signed by County Executive Pat McCarthy and restriction signs are put in place.

1st Annual Baggo Tournament by Razorback Baggo - about 4 years ago
"When we decided to have a baggo tournament it was easy to choose the designer for our shirts. We are from south Arkansas and support our Arkansas Razorbacks. CustomInk was the only website that I found that could create the look that fit the event. Everyone loved the shirts and the baggo tournament was a success. I believe it would have been very dull without the help of CustomInk."
