A word from Tabella at Clear Creek
Tabella at Clear Creek is the culinary brainchild of entrepreneur David Skinner and Creative Director Coco Hogue. David and Coco wanted to create a beautiful and intimate restaurant to compliment Clear Creek Winery and Resort. What transpired from a simple idea has guests raving about the modern
food, intimate atmosphere, and of course the award-winning wines.
Tabella features an ever-changing thematic menu drawing inspiration from the bounty of the seasons. Tabella's own gardens and farm provide the restaurant with a seasonal harvest of fruits, vegetables, herbs, and eggs. Working with personally selected farmers, ranchers, cheesemakers, and fishermen. Coco creates three to seven course dinners using only the freshest and finest local ingredients. In addition to the chef's tasting menu guests can enjoy an inventive selection of small and large plates featuring organic local meats and seafood as well as vegetarian and gluten free dishes.

Diner Reviews
The staff at Tabella was great
Marie filled my husbands water glass every time it was 1/2 full. The food was served in a timely manner, very attentive wait staff. i am not a wine drinker so i was given the opportunity to sample some different wines until i found the one i liked this gesture was greatly appreciated. the chef and sous chef billy were awesome and very informative about the restaurant and also gave my husband tips on cooking the perfect lamb. the portion size was small which is what i expected after reading other reviews online, however if you're a person who watches master chef, hells kitchen and all the other "gourmet cooking" shows on TV you know that the fancier the restaurant the smaller the portions.

Dined here several times before
and all the courses every time were home runs. No complaints about any of them. Was disappointed when we got there and found out Chef Hogue was no longer there. Went downhill from there. The salad was very good. The bacon wrapped asparagus was charred, a polite way of saying burnt. The seafood course, one scallop, was good. The chicken course just okay. There was a choice of two desserts and both were foul balls. The zucchini "muffin" was dry and the chocolate tart was bland, left most of it. There was another course in there somewhere but can't remember what it was. Even with a Groupon, the prices are too high for mediocre."

Don't do it, don't do it! Don't
waste your time or your money. This was not our first visit but it will be the last. The Ex Chef Coco is gone & you can tell the difference with the food. It was very deceitful how they did things with the dining menu. We were asked to select our food courses but were brought other items b/c they did not have everything on the menu which was not stated to us. Poor business practice b/c that should be stated when you take the order. It took forever to get served 4 tiny courses (1.5 hrs) & the food didn't taste the same. The previous tastings we did were always great which is why we went back but never again! "

Tabella had construction outside
with a new road being installed but it did not deter the staff from providing a wonderful evening. We enjoyed the six-course meal created by their new chef. "

They tried, but missed it. Service
was not good. Food was marginal. The wine was ok. Stop in for a glass of wine, but skip dinner at Tabella."

The food was excellent and the
service was great! We will definitely be back."

Cozy place, great and entertaining
conversation with the Mgr (Blake), and great food. Enjoyed the bottle of wine (Chardonnay)."

My husband and I arrived for 7:00
reservations and were promptly sat. We then waited 30 minutes for someone to come take our order. At least we had gotten water so we weren't left to be parched in a desert waste land. We placed our order and were told that they were out of the dishes we wanted. Yes, they had sold out of two of the four main courses by 7:30. So we decided to leave. The manger approached and asked why we were leaving, we explained why and he was completely unapologetic and blasé. And he had the temerity to say that we were the last seating - what did we expect? A 7:00 last seating on Saturday? Really? We won't be going back and if you decide go there, go at your peril. Do not expect the food you want or decent service."
Dined on 4/5/2014
We completely enjoyed our dining
experience and our six course meal. While this restaurant is expensive we felt we got our monies worth. This is a very small establishment with very personalized service. My wife and I were able to talk and enjoy our evening out and have a true date night. There are not many restaurants anymore in my opinion that have this relaxed romantic setting. We will be going back. The blackberry wine was incredible. FYI, my understanding is there is a coupon on Groupon that will save you substantial money."
Dined on 3/29/2014
Chef Coco and the Manager were
great. The presentations and wine pairings were perfect. The desert was fun! My wife and I had a wonderful experience and a memorable romantic little getaway."
Dined on 3/22/2014
We used a groupon for a six course
tasting menu and even though each course's serving portion was small, by the end we were stuffed. Our server, Alex, was very attentive and knowledgeable without being overly solicitous. The food and wine pairings were really wonderful and it was fun to try to guess which wine it was based on the flavor. If you are a foodie or like wine, this is a great place. We also stayed at the Clipper House and we really loved the "eat, stay, play" options."
Dined on 3/21/2014
We have been to Tabella for
several occasions now and have enjoyed everything every time. Menu items, service, ambiance - it's all good."
Dined on 3/21/2014
The food was great, but the prices
and the portion sizes left us wondering if we'll go back. The menus on the various websites aren't what we received when we arrived, our only choices were the 3 and 5 course traditional menu, for $59 and $79 each. We chose the 3 course, primarily because my wife and I don't eat a lot and always take home food from restaurants. Not this time, we actually left hungry - that's the first time that has ever happened to me. It's one thing to leave hungry, but it's another thing to realize you are still hungry after dessert..Not like you can order another 3 or 5 courses at that point. Ended up spending $200 including tip with 3 glasses of wine, and had to pick up some ice cream on the way home!"
Dined on 3/15/2014
Found this place a few months back
with a Groupon. We've been back 3 times since and it's always good. They're fresh ideas and tasty recipes are always good. Coco is a genius with food."
Dined on 3/12/2014
The food was very good. The chef
was super nice and professional. Unfortunately we were ignored half the time. I think they were short one server, as there was no server assigned to our table. All the other tables around us got a lot of attention. Even though we arrived first even one around us received their food and drinks first. The Chef, manager, and both servers assisted at times, but we often waited at least 20 minutes or flag someone down between courses. It took 2 1/2 hrs to complete the meal."
Dined on 3/1/2014
Upon being seated we were
disappointed to learn only the 2 & 4 course meals were being offered. Other Menu items show on the OpenTable website were not available. We left and opted for a nice evening/meal at Opus Bistro. I'm sharing this info so hopefully no one else runs into this same problem. Since we didn't actually dine here, please disregard my "Food" and "Service" ratings which are required to post a review."
Dined on 3/1/2014
We made reservations based on the
Traditional Menu offerings of the "Today's Menu" on the restaurant's web page only to find that none of the items I was interested in ordering were available that night. I wont comment too much on the 1st three courses since they were not items I would have chosen from a larger menu. My wife enjoyed all her dishes. We both had potatoes that accompanied our fish but they were just cut rectangles without any real flavor. Now I was surprised how good the house Pinot Grigio and the Chocolate Raspberry Port were. They were excellent and will probably go by the winery to buy some to take home. The only course I liked was the desert; especially when combined with the port."
Dined on 2/28/2014
This place was great I liked it a
lot so did my boyfriend we had lamb and duck it was wonderful and he have to try the blackberry wine they make there we don't even drink and it was so good we bought a bottle"
Dined on 2/27/2014
It may have been an off night for
the kitchen, but the food did not merit the premium price charged. We had the four course meal for two with one wine pairing and the tab was $200 with tip. Be aware that the prices are higher and the choices fewer than the menu posted on their web site. The highlight of the meal were both of the salads. My lamb with pineapple entrée tasted as if it were cooked ahead and sat in the kitchen awhile before being served just barely warm. My partner's fish was simply grilled, but like the lamb, the preparation uninspiring. The wines were decent but at the equivalent of $60 per bottle you would expect as much. Service was friendly but very little else at Tabella lived up to expectations."
Dined on 2/22/2014
The restaurant only has a few
tables, so reservations are critical. The food is farm to table and the freshness is evident. I had the pear maple salad, and blackberry chicken. Both were excellent. The cake for dessert was also outstanding. My only comment is the service was slow, particularly for a restaurant of its size. There were times our server seemed to be actively avoiding our table of 4. I am a native English speaker but my 3 friends were visiting from another country and were not native speakers. Perhaps that made our server uncomfortable? In any case, I left slightly embarrassed because I had hoped for top notch service and instead we had to try very hard to get our server's attention."
Dined on 2/8/2014
We went to Tabella Saturday night.
Overall, the dishes were delicious and simple. The Kale Caesar Salad, Tomato Basil Soup, Bacon Asparagus Bundles, Shrimp Diablo, flourless dark chocolate cake and creme brulee cheesecake were absolutely delectable. Our main courses were good, but not as good as the 1st, 2nd and 4th courses. We had the Mahi Mahi and Lamb dishes and I think that perhaps we just chose incorrectly. The wine pairings were good, but after speaking with the women upstairs in the tasting room, it appears that we weren't necessarily given the correct wine for each dish. That is something that needs improvement. Overall, our server, the food, the wine and the atmosphere were terrific and the tasting room was great. Highly recommend."
Dined on 2/8/2014
I took my wife here for dinner for
a special night out. The food was great 5 course with small to medium portions it was just right. The staff was great and the manager came to our table and let us know if we needed anything to ask. There is somthing special in the womens restroom it apparently has been remodeled and all the women came out smiling."
Dined on 2/8/2014
Food was very good, especially the
crème brulee cheesecake. Alex was a wonderful waiter."
Dined on 2/8/2014
Super experience. Love the 3
course and wine pairings option. Very pretty dining room and even awesome ladies' powder room !"
Dined on 2/7/2014
Everything was as great as the
previous weekends 5 course with the exception of the 4 totally burned shrimp diablos. When that amount of money is spent on food everything should be quality checked before served. Error on chef and error on server who new the presentation wasn't correct. Provided an extra cheese cake for the error, but, again that shouldn't of happened anyway."
Dined on 2/7/2014
The head chef was away in
California. The food was good but fell short of fine dining. The kale salad lacked some ingredient(s) to make it special. The pickled squash (?) side dish was too sour. The single crab cake were nice but very small for a main course. I don't need 'Texas-sized' courses but the cake was small. The cheese cake was good. I had a glass of pinot noir which was very good. The staff were nice, the ambience was pleasant and the setting was romantic but that was perhaps because there were not many diners. The restaurant has great potential and I will give it another try. A fine dining venue is the vicinity of Seabrook/Kemah is desperately needed. I hope the best for Tabella."
Dined on 1/31/2014
The small size gave a very cozy
feel. The service was excellent (Alex) and the manager was attentive. The food very flavorful and cooked perfectly. The small portions were excellent, allowing you to comfortably make it through each course."
Dined on 1/25/2014
We had dinner reservations at
5:00pm on a Wednesday night. We did use our Groupon coupon for a 4 course meal. When the waiter was notified that we would be using a Groupon coupon (per the Groupon instructions) our menu was traded out for a different, very simple menu. The selections were okay, but the serving sizes were small. My first course, a kale salad, was fresh, but very simple. The appetizer (asparagus) was very good (could have made a meal of it.) I choose fish as my main course and it was too dry (other reviewers said the same.) The dessert I had was cheesecake and was very good. As I said, the serving sizes were small but perhaps if bread was offered while we waited for our meal this would have filled us up a tad."
Dined on 1/22/2014
The crab cake had no texture, the
mahi mahi tasted fishy and was overwhelmed by pineapple. Disappointing. The only good thing was the Shiraz."
Dined on 1/17/2014
Very interesting and delicious
tasting menu. Have some wine before you go, restaurant is associate with local winery and wines are mediocre at best."
Dined on 1/11/2014
We went early. If you go later in
the evening, it can be noisier since it is small and tables tend to be a bit close. Still a great place with excellent food and wine."
Dined on 1/3/2014
My husband and I really enjoyed
the food, ambiance, and service! The wines we had were excellent! We will definitely be back."
Dined on 1/2/2014
Just after New Year's - restaurant
was icy cold. Had the Groupon 4 course. We eat a lot of upscale and a decent amount of farm to table. I felt like the prices were reasonable, but the menu was uninspired. Lamb was a highlight. The sides needed serious attention. I doubt we'll be back unless we see reviews that indicate they have picked up their game a bit. (Or perhaps dead of winter is the wrong time to explore a Farm to Table place??)"
Dined on 1/2/2014
We had eaten here before and loved
it. Unfortunately, our experience this time was not so good. The restaurant was cold and the music was hit and miss. The service was slow and inattentive, the main courses were not up to par and the dessert was extremely disappointing. The wine, however, was excellent."
Dined on 12/28/2013
We treated some family there for
their anniversary. My husband and I hadn't eaten there before but as soon as we walked in we knew it was a great place. we will be going back."
Dined on 12/21/2013
It was a nice meal. Food was good
some courses were great! Small place so if a patron was loud you could hear every word of their Amway spiel. Had a wonderful romantic evening with good service. The wine pairing was a little odd for my palate, but the wait staff was more than willing to accommodate. Will go back. The whole operation brings back a taste of the old Kemah before the corporate take over of the waterfront."
Dined on 12/21/2013
This was the second time we went
to Tabela's and are looking forward to our next trip. The food is so incredible and the portions are excellent. It's such a treat having the distinctive courses come out one by one and they don't rush you to get through them. An excellent dining experience!"
Dined on 12/18/2013
Quiet, cozy and intimate. The food
was just incredible, and the wine pairing only enhanced each dish. Great for a romantic dinner for two or a nice evening for friends."
Dined on 12/17/2013
I greatly enjoyed the tasting menu
and I will be going back again. The food was great (hopefully pumpkin ravioli will still be there, although it's probably a seasonal thing) and I really like the decor in this small restaurant."

Improved Rural Health Care Through Low-Cost Telecommunication in Waslala, Nicaragua
Accessing quality health care in rugged, mountainous areas like the communities surrounding Waslala, Nicaragua is a difficult challenge. About 10,000 people live in the town of Waslala itself, while 35,000 live in the 85 isolated rural communities surrounding it. While the town has a small hospital with full-time staff, residents of the rural areas can obtain health care only at clinic outposts from lay health workers with minimal experience and few supplies. If there is an emergency, the hospital is hours away on poor roads.
In order to make quality health care more accessible in the Waslala region, this team of students and faculty is developing cell phone-based technology for transmitting basic patient data in the form of coded text messaging from a rural health care worker to a central clinic for a trained health care provider to review. The doctor or nurse can then text back treatment suggestions for the health care worker to implement.

Lessors report that where there is activity, it involves lessees moving out of the older 4,750 cubic foot cars with a flight to quality as they move up to larger capacity 286 jumbo covered hoppers.
Overall market slackness seems to have a variety underlying causes. Chicago Freight Car's Paul Deasy says that despite talk of the potential for record harvests, he is seeing limited shipper activity seeking to execute new grain car leases. He indicates that railroads are reporting that they can supply the cars that shippers will need for the coming harvest season.
Paul observes that most of the grain that moves by rail is corn, and that more corn has been moving by truck than had originally been expected. Paul also points out that railroad velocity has continued to improve and that increasing velocity and reduced transit times also reduces the total number of railcars needed to move any commodity.
What about exports?
There are reports that exports may increase to destinations like China, but that these moves may be met by railroad (particularly BNSF) supplied cars in unit trains moving grain to ports.

Lawyer sues over bad Google Plus review
Posted Sep 20, 2013 7:56 AM CDT
By Debra Cassens Weiss
A suburban Chicago lawyer and his law firm have filed a lawsuit because of a bad review on Google Plus.
Naperville, Ill., lawyer Paul Nordini and his firm sued the writer, Joseph LaBarre, who wrote that Nordini worked for an "ethically shaky law firm" and an "exceptionally unethical law firm," report CBS News and the Naperville Patch.
LaBarre wasn't a client of the firm. He is the former spouse of Nordini's divorce client.
The suit claims the review has cost Nordini's firm, Nordini & Thompson, $10,000 a month in lost business. Nordini seeks $110,000 and an injunction to force LaBarre to take down the review.
CBS Chicago reached LaBarre for comment. "What do I think about him filing a lawsuit? I think he's out of his mind," LaBarre said. He added that Nordini wants him to take down the review and "if he wanted to have an honest conversation, I would talk to him about it."

The Research Design Service for the West Midlands (RDS WM) is part of the infrastructure of the National Institute for Health Research. It is one of ten services in England making up the national RDS.
Our primary aim is to help NHS researchers, and others working in partnership with the NHS, in the West Midlands area who have a 'good idea' and want to turn that into a research proposal for submission to peer-reviewed funding programmes in applied health and social care.
Watch the national RDS video here. View or download different formats here.
Advice and practical support is provided free of charge and is available through research clinics, face-to-face, by telephone and email. We also offer a Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) Pre-Protocol Bursary Scheme that can provide up to £500 per project. Click here for more information.
The RDS WM has three 'hubs' based in the Universities of Birmingham, Keele and Warwick. Each Hub has a team of staff with expertise in statistics, quantitative and qualitative research techniques, clinical trials, evidence synthesis, health economics, epidemiology, public and patient involvement, and ethics and governance.
Each Hub can advise on all aspects of preparing grant applications including:
Please note that whilst the WMRDS has a team of advisors that can provide advice on all matters relating to developing funding applications, this service does not mean that the advisors will automatically have the capacity to be co-applicants. The decision to be a co-applicant will depend on whether the advisor has the specific expertise that you are looking for, whether the clinical application falls within their research interests and whether they have the capacity to undertake the research. Where it is not possible to find a co-applicant within the WMRDS, we will as far as possible suggest potential co-applicants from elsewhere in the UK if this would help you.
Please also note that the development of an appropriate methodology can take a considerable amount of time. We advise you to contact us as early as poosible if you would like assistance with developing your proposal.

The state is shutting down the Moretown Landfill.
Despite a flurry of activity by the new owners to answer odor concerns, state regulators will not issue a permit for continued operation.
The landfill has drawn complaints from neighbors for years. The Vt. Agency of Natural Resources finally had enough in December, giving the owners three months warning that they would be forced to close.
Advanced Disposal responded with a $1 million plan for a new piping system and 2-acre plastic lining to try to alleviate the odors. Regulators applauded those efforts, but said they didn't go far enough to assure the agency there would not be future odor problems.
Thursday, regulators denied Advanced Disposal's application to keep operating the facility, citing the company's failure to control the stench and gas emissions, and violations of groundwater quality standards.
The landfill must begin shutting down in 30 days. Once it's closed, the landfill will still be obligated to control odors and reduce impacts to groundwater, and will be required to develop long term plans to ensure these issues are addressed during the post-closure period.
That will leave Vermont with just a single operating landfill in Coventry.
Advanced Disposal says it expects to appeal the decision.

Ratliff, 28, played nine games for Pittsburgh last season. The Steelers released him in November. He signed with the Bengals on Jan. 4 and was on their roster for the wild-card game vs. the Jets, but he did not play.
Ratliff, who's in his seventh NFL season, was a second-round pick of the Bengals in 2004 and played for Cincinnati from 2004-07.
The Bengals also released RB Walter Mendenhall, CB DeAngelo Willingham, S Bryan Evans and P Jake Richardson.

Last night I installed 13 framed night photographs at the cafe/lounge adjoining the Cerrito Speakeasy Theater in El Cerrito, CA. The art opening is next Monday, August 6th, from 7-9pm. Yes, you can go to an art show, drink beer, and then eat pizza while you watch a movie — all in the same building.
The art show is free, and it's $6 to see a movie. Tell me what your favorite image is in the show, and if I like your answer I'll buy you a beer. Art critics can buy their own beer. And there's pizza and lots of other great stuff on the menu.
If you want to see a movie, Ocean's 13 is playing at 9:15pm, right after the art opening. Or linger awhile longer and see Hairspray at 9:45pm. Or see Live Free or Die Hard at 6:30pm, and catch the end of the art opening.
The Cerrito Theater is located at 10070 San Pablo Avenue [Google Map]. One block North of El Cerrito Plaza, and 4 blocks West of El Cerrito Plaza BART.
When was the last time you went to a party on a school night? Be a part of what will surely be an elite cadre of night photography connoisseurs next Monday. Thank you.

It was so successful last year Avera McKennan is doing it again. More than 1800 people on 371 teams lost 8,895 pounds in the 2008 Avera McKennan Community Weight Loss Challenge last summer. We were at the kickoff Saturday May 2 in Sioux Falls and talked to the woman who prides herself on being the biggest loser.
Ali Vincent became the first female "Biggest Loser" when she won Season 5 of the popular TV show by dropping 112 pounds. The 5' 5" Mesa, Arizona hair stylist started out at 234 pounds. She says she barely squeezed into a size 20. Now the super fit petite power house is a perfect Size 4.
April 15th was her one year anniversary of the dramatic weight loss and she has maintained every single inch. She provided just the right inspiration for the 2009 Avera McKennan Community Wide Weight Loss Challenge kickoff outside the Avera Living Well Center.
Vincent says, "I knew for the first time I was choosing me. I finally told the truth about where I was and I wanted more. I want to tell people you are gonna have pain and there are days when you are sore and you say I don't want to go to the gym and that's why you need friends to remind you of why you are doing this."
The kickoff brought out a variety of cleverly named teams, like the "Chunky Dunkers", "Operation Weight Loss: Unjunk My Trunk" and the "Weight Loss Warriors".
Darcie Schmidt is part of the Weight Loss Warriors team. She says, "Every month we meet for our weight loss support group and we wanted to kick start that a little. What better way than to do than by doing this."
Stacey Kant and Stephen Kraul formed a team at the last minute. The back of their red T-shirts reads:KANT KRAUL! YOU GOTTA SWEAT TO LOSE WEIGHT. Their wedding party teamed up and plans to lose as much weight as little Stephen Kraul II weighs which is 60 pounds. The wedding is in September.
Ali Vincent says, "Thinking of losing more than 100 pounds seemed impossible and I didn't know how to get started. You get started by saying I want something different."
Ali's theme during the show and now: Dream it. Believe it. Be it. If seeing is believing, I believe you can do anything you set your mind to. Here's hoping you all become successful losers too! And I mean that in the nicest possible way.

NPR Ombudsman Slams NewsBusters, National Review: 'Certainly No Liberal Bias' on Murdoch
The ombudsman at a media outlet is supposed to be an advocate for the audience, a watchdog to keep the media outlet honest. But several new ombudsmen are following a more comfortable rut: kissing the hand that feeds them, and defending the media outlet from "baseless" public criticism. Patrick Pexton is doing that at The Washington Post, and Edward Schumacher-Matos is doing the same at NPR.
Late Monday, the NPR ombudsman slammed NewsBusters and National Review Online. The pull quote summarized: "I want to learn from the advocacy groups. But not much of their criticism holds up." He even suggested there was "certainly no liberal bias" as NPR flooded the zone of the London phone-hacking story that leftists thought could be Rupert Murdoch's undoing:
NPR has rightly given a lot of coverage to the scandal, but not more so than other major news organizations or even The Wall Street Journal itself. With the glaring exception of one online headline, NPR's coverage has been professional, sound and calm. There has been no underlying tone of smacking lips, and certainly no liberal bias.
At the height of the coverage, the 15 days between July 7 and July 22, when new revelations and events rolled out almost daily, NPR aired 49 stories, not counting hourly Newscast briefs.
Is that just on All Things Considered and Morning Edition, or on other NPR shows? And compared to what? A peek at the Nexis data-retrieval system shows NPR – on all the shows it has loaded into the transcripts, not just their morning and evening shows, mustered only 16 items in the first weeks of scandal in 2004 on Dan Rather disgracing himself with phony documents alleging George Bush was dodging military service. That was a big American media scandal, not a British one. (Obviously, a British Murdoch scandal is much more exciting to liberals than a British press scandal involving socialist scribes.)
Even then, as NPR noted Rather's painfully slow decision to confess he didn't have the goods, those stories were loaded with the establishment media – Howard Kurtz of The Washington Post, Poynter Institute experts, and old CBS hands like Marvin Kalb and Daniel Schorr. Bush defenders? Not so much, although Glenn Reynolds of InstaPundit appeared in one.
More importantly, NPR didn't exactly give its own Juan Williams or Schiller-sting-video fiascoes 49 stories in two weeks. They covered them, but obviously with a lot of wagon-circling defensiveness. The pull-quote writer even seemed to go beyond the ombudsman's claims with this bizarre summary: "Juan Williams failed to make his case that NPR is muzzling conservative dissent." The man got summarily fired for appearing on O'Reilly, but there's no muzzling?
Schumacher-Matos pulled the Sgt. Schultz "I know nothing" line: "Williams had been whittled back to a part-time NPR contributor and his firing was a long time coming because of tensions between him and management. Who was right or wrong in those tensions is not for me to say."
It's strange that Schumacher-Matos would categorically find "certainly no liberal bias," and then concede that there certainly was, at least at the NPR website:
Usually this column responds to listeners' views, but I follow the professional advocates, too, out of respect for their influence and in search for what they may see in NPR's reporting that I don't. I also hope that we might forge a reasonable dialogue.
I agree with NewsBuster's Graham that the July 16 headline, "News Corp. Dynasty Crumbles From The Top Down," was badly off. He neglected to mention, however, that the headline was for the online version of an interview on Weekend Edition Saturday and never appeared on air.
But can't the NewsBusters reader assume that if I write about a "headline" on NPR, I can't mean on the radio?? The ombudsman conceded: "Still, while the radio programs have by far the larger audience with roughly 27 million listeners each week. NPR.org is visited each month by 18 million unique users. Its quality standards are equal to radio's. The web producer who wrote the headline is on vacation and could not be reached for comment, but NPR.org editors agreed the headline was poorly written. It has not been changed or corrected, however, and should be."
But then he added: "I must say, however, that not much of the rest of Graham's criticism holds up."
He cites the story underneath the offending headline as further proof that NPR is "liberal" and "relishing" Murdoch's predicament. The story was a July 16 interview by Scott Simon with Financial Times columnist Clive Crook. Neither Simon nor Crook ever said anything about crumbling dynasties, and Crook is hardly leftist. His British-based paper is a conservative business paper (and also a competitor to Murdoch's Journal). In the interview, Crook noted that liberal British Labor Party leaders enjoyed close relationships with Murdoch as much as conservative Tory ones did.
Schumacher-Matos claims nobody "said anything about crumbling dynasties," when it's quite clear I quoted Scott Simon talking about Murdoch having to unload properties: "How big a dent that they represent in his holdings and his influence?...Can you foresee them having to make incisions in their holdings?" Crook said it was quite a "catalog of disasters" with closing down News of the World and now accepting resignations from top News Corp./NOTW executives like Les Hinton and Rebekah Brooks.
The point of my (brief) article was not to describe Crook as a leftist, but to notice that Crook said the passage of "campaign finance reform" in Britain led to a too-cozy relationship between the press and politicians. Then there was this charge of inadequate evidence:
Graham also saw the dispatch of reporter Folkenflik to cover the story in London as evidence that NPR was out to skewer Murdoch. I found it normal; Folkenflik covers the media, and this was the year's biggest story on his beat. Moreover, the regular London reporter, Reeves, was in the Arctic Circle on assignment. "Philip was in Greenland, which is just about as far away as you can get really," said Foreign Desk editor Kevin Beesley. Folkenflik's stories have remained solid and correct.
The point of my questioning about NPR and Folkenflik aggressively covering Murdoch is to point out the clear conflict of interest in the "public" network's acceptance of funding from leftist George Soros, whose desire to get Murdoch is quite clear. Folkenflik rarely crosses oceans on the journalism beat. The trip to London was unusual. The trip itself doesn't mean the coverage was flawed, it just demonstrates a passion to cover this story. Also, in the wake of the Juan Williams firing, which came in part because NPR listeners have made it clear they hate NPR appearances on Fox, NPR's interest in Murdoch can also be seen as "serving its base" among liberal pledge-drive donors.
Schumacher-Matos somehow found it entirely above his pay grade to evaluate the Soros grant as a political appearance problem: "According to Dianne Grace, NPR's director of institutional giving, the gift amounts to roughly 1 percent of NPR's revenues this fiscal year. Whether NPR should have accepted the money is a management issue outside my purview. My concern is whether any Soros influence comes through in the reporting, in this case on Murdoch, and I find none."
He also brought up a different NewsBusters post:
Graham further criticized a Diane Rehm show as uncivil and leaning left. The show is not produced or controlled by NPR, as Graham mistakenly seems to think. Still, NPR distributes it, making it fair game. But Graham misfires. The very quotes he cites indicate that Rehm, her guests and listener emails presented conservative viewpoints as much as liberal ones. Fox's imitators on the left were as criticized as was Fox for lack of civility.
If you actually reread this post, this is the weirdest passage in the ombudsman's response. Public broadcasters love to play this game of "It aired across the country on our network, but we don't produce it" stuff. They wouldn't distribute it nationwide if it made liberal NPR listeners scream. Rehm's show is produced at D.C. NPR station WAMU at American University and airs on more than a hundred NPR stations, and is further endorsed on NPR by being listed among "Programs" at NPR.org. The "seems to think" crack is an insult.
But how do the "very quotes he cites" demonstrate NPR "presented conservative viewpoints as much as liberal ones"? There were no conservatives on the Rehm panel. What I quoted was meant to demonstrate that Rehm wanted to bring the scandal home to Fox News, and note that Limbaugh-loathing Diane Rehm thinks Fox and the conservatives are the civility problem in American politics. The answers of Rem Rieder, editor of the American Journalism Review, were what Rehm wanted. News was "straight down the middle" until Fox came along and turned everything "partisan." As if Dan Rather and Peter Jennings were centrists for decades.
Schumacher-Matos claimed "Graham minimized Fox's responsibility for the trend toward opinionated cable news, which is his right, but Fox's own executives don't agree. They see themselves as having been on the cutting edge of a trend." That's certainly building a straw man. Fox News executives wouldn't say "We were proud to create a new trend of incivility in American politics." They might say they tried to present a news channel that didn't parrot the same liberal line as every other national media outlet. NPR types sound as if the arrival of aggressive conservative opinion hosts like Sean Hannity equals incivility, never considering -- as Schumacher-Matos clearly skipped -- that liberals can smear conservatives, wish them dead, or want their "empires" to collapse.
The callers I quoted referring to Murdoch as a monster and akin to a killer were hardly demonstrating a balanced program. That's the NPR audience, and Murdoch-bashing is what they deeply desire. Rehm could have interviewed a Bozell or a Breitbart, but clearly she would rather dye her bouffant purple than "foul" the NPR airwaves with their incivility. I know: I appeared on her show one time in 2000 and she left the room in a huff when the show ended.
The other point was that Rehm gave the Murdoch scandal a whole hour as part of David Folkenflik's ongoing Murdoch campaign. It may not be produced by NPR, but it certainly displayed the NPR reporter on the story making his point that Murdoch has too much influence with the politicians in the UK. Rehm asked Folkenflik "Could this bring Murdoch down?" All that was missing was the "Could this please bring Murdoch down?"

they went to some left wing minded school of journalism and contracted a disease, i.e. liberalism. Now we've heard stories about this and I think we should be more sensitive to their needs, i.e. bashing conservatives. See, no bias here... just mental problems? If the liberals will concede they are mental I will concede that those particular liberals are not biased but in need of some serious help. Once they get that assistance everything will be all better and they will upstanding, truthful individuals, otherwise known as conservatives. It's all about acceptance and getting past the denial;)

Submitted by jmcenanly on Tue, 10/18/2011 - 9:01am.
Fox News and The National Review manage to make enough money to stand on their own. NPR, on the other hand, not only requires money from the Federal and state governments, but also has increasingly frequent fund drives, and relies on the charity of others to survive. In short, where The National Review and Fox are merchants, NPR, for all its elite pretensions, is a beggar.

So the criticism offered to NPR--to help these sad sacks correct their on-air lefty slant--doesn't please them? Their feathers got a little ruffled when their obvious lousy reporting and commentary was pointed out to them? Hang on there, NPR, there's lots more of this stuff coming your way. Put your helmets on. And keep them on.

I want to learn from advocacy groups, but much of their criticism doesn't hold up. Now of course, if you are biased to begin with the lilklihood of anything critical won't be given fair consideration and thereby, "not hold up". Isn't it astounding with all the criticism of NPR and its purchased shows that there is a charge of bias but never, never, is it held up as real. If that's the case, why not conservative or whatever spokespeople on the shows as a counterbalance to the non excistent liberal bias?

31. He was just against gay fellas. Senator Scott Brown opposes the repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell."
32. He left his liberal principles in his other yacht. Senator John Kerry is accused of trying to avoid $500,000 in Massachusetts taxes by docking his new $7 million yacht in Rhode Island, which does not tax boats.
33. Butt injections imply something else entirely where he's likely headed. Roger Clemens is indicted for making false statements to Congress regarding steroids.
34. Putting the W in WTF. Six months after its splashy October 2009 opening, the W Boston sells fewer than 12 of its 122 luxury condos, declares bankruptcy, and leaves its $10.5 million loan from the city dangling — alongside an impending foreclosure.
35. Yeah, because Alaska voters would never put up with an attractive but inexperienced and sometimes fumbling candidate. Criticizing our new senator for voting on occasion with Democrats, Sarah Palin says that Alaska voters wouldn't put up with "Scott Brown and some of the antics there."
36. Wanna get away? Brookline police catch an alleged bank robber after they find him hiding in his car's trunk.
37. To celebrate, school officials made it rain. The $200 million Newton North High School finally opens.
38. New plan: Drop all the other drugs, keep the Ritalin. Steven Tyler's year: He refuses to join Aerosmith on tour. Then when bandmates threaten to replace him, he rejoins the band. At one tour stop, he falls off the stage (again). When he recovers, he says he'd like to make a new album. But first, he signs on as an American Idol judge.
39. Apparently that "New Boston" he talked so much about is in Virginia. Sam Yoon, the 2009 candidate for mayor of Boston, flees south, saying he's had trouble finding a job here.
40. So this explains why he kept asking the caterer if he had any chicken fingers and Cherry Garcia. A Brockton wedding photographer is pinched by cops, who say he was attempting to pick up 700 pounds of pot. He pleaded not guilty, dude.

Thanks to the resurgence of the New Jersey Devils' offense (and no small amount of spectacular goaltending from Martin Brodeur), the threat of a sweep was avoided, but their chances of survival Friday are slim.
Each side is looking for a hero to step up, particularly the Kings, who look to repeat history from the first and third rounds and close out the series in five games.
Each team's goals are practically identical: disrupt a goaltender who has been putting on exceptional performances this postseason, engage special teams and lock down their opponent's often problematic offense. The keys within the keys? Some of the major contributors for each team that have gone silent in the Stanley Cup Finals need to make a measurable impact.
So, who can we look at on each club to become an impact player?
Perhaps it's odd to call out the man tied for the overall playoff scoring and goals lead as needing to raise his game, but until Kovalchuk's empty-net goal on Wednesday night, his impact against the Kings was minimal. Skating more than 20 minutes a night but unable to really create separation from the Kings' forecheck, and concerns about possible injuries have followed the Russian star for the past several weeks.
It's entirely likely that Kovalchuk (or almost any player in the Finals) is not at 100 percent, but the Devils need their $7 million man to bring pressure against Los Angeles, particularly on home ice -- even if he just opens up the ice for some of his teammates.
One of the Kings' biggest sparks in the first two rounds of the playoffs, Brown hasn't scored a goal since Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals and has just one assist against New Jersey. As their captain, he's continued to play hard minutes and contribute some key faceoff wins. Delivering a key goal -- particularly if he can break through on special teams, where he harried the Blues and Canucks -- would go a long way for his club.
The big power forward has been a major part of the Devils' secondary scoring for the past three seasons, but his performance in the postseason hasn't been quite as strong as his club might have hoped. Clarkson has produced a fair amount of assists (including setting up Adam Henrique's game-winning goal in Game 4), but has just three goals in the playoffs, the last coming almost a month ago against the Rangers. With a game keyed by going to the net and disrupting the defense around the crease, his style of play should be perfect for getting an edge on Kings goaltender Jonathan Quick, but he has yet to really change the course of a game.
One of the players expected to put the Kings over the top this season, Richards was huge in the first few rounds, but his play has trailed off as L.A. went deeper into the playoffs. Since reaching the Finals, he's stumbled both offensively and defensively, and hasn't managed faceoffs with his normal skill. On the other hand, Richards has been regarded as a "clutch" guy going all the way back to his junior hockey career. What better time than now to show that once again?
If the Devils can keep their hopes alive, there's a good chance that Henrique will be one of the guys driving the bus. The rookie forward has hammered home some of the most important goals for New Jersey in this postseason, including the series winners vs. Florida and New York. Already a dark horse candidate for the Conn Smythe Trophy, another big game would push him into the forefront.

An arrest has been made following a gunfire incident amidst celebration of the Oklahoma City Thunder's series clinching victory over the Los Angeles Lakers.
Police say they have arrested 19-year-old Rodney Hill on complaints of shooting with intent to kill after eight people were injured in the city's Bricktown neighborhood, according to the Associated Press.
One of the eight victims remains in critical condition Tuesday night.
The incident occurred as thousands of fans marched from and around the Chesapeake Energy Arena after Monday night's game. While police say the shootings were probably not related to the playoff game, the damage was more severe due to the high volume of people in the area.
Police say additional arrests stemming from the shootings are likely.
Today a spokesman for the Thunder released a statement announcing that the franchise would work with the city to review the current security and crowd-control measures in place, and make any necessary changes to better ensure a safe environment for everyone.

- 3-3/4 cups all-purpose flour

Newsom ignores voters: $2.7 million poverty court opens on Polk Street
by Lisa Gray-Garcia and Tony Robles, Poor News Network
The CJC or, more accurately, the poverty court, with a price tag of $2.7 million to serve the Tenderloin, South of Market, Civic Center, and Union Square neighborhoods, was soundly defeated by voters when it was on the ballot as Proposition L. Strong opposition came from the Board of Supervisors as well. Mayor Newsom vetoed the board's rejection, and the center opened for business on March 4.
"The poverty court model formally merges the prison industrial complex with the non-profit industrial complex to become 'the complex' – a new form of criminalized service provision brought to a neighborhood near you," said Lisa Gray-Garcia, executive director of POOR Magazine and author of "Criminal of Poverty: Growing Up Homeless in America."
The CJC, borrowed from a model delivered originally by former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani and his push to rid Manhattan of its "peddlers, panhandlers and prostitutes," creates a courtroom – equipped with holding cells and a space allocated for administrative, health, social and community services for the defendant – designated specifically for misdemeanors or, as Mayor Newsom puts it – as did Giuliani – "quality of life" crimes.
Many if not most of these infractions – loitering, shoplifting, panhandling, urban camping etc. – are crimes of poverty, crimes committed out of circumstance. Rather than addressing the circumstance, the community court addresses the action, sentencing the defendant to community service hours and providing vague links to social services, such as drug or alcohol counseling.
After a lengthy and heated debate by the Board of Supervisors, Newsom managed to garner full funding for the court in July, allocating approximately $1,980,000 for start-up costs, lease and personnel. Newsom requested an additional $771,885 to keep operations going for a full year.
All this comes in the face of a $350 million city deficit with a proposed budget that devastatingly slashes funds from life-saving social and health services citywide. It's a good thing the Board of Supervisors and voters saw right through the gimmick. Too bad their opinions did not matter.
Newsom, with the support of District Attorney Kamala Harris, went ahead with the court, siphoning a grand total of $2.7 million for the project, some in federal grants and some from the city budget. It's now open to the public on 575 Polk St. None of the first five offenders summoned showed on opening day.
Contrary to the misleading messages used to fund the CJC, San Francisco's poverty crisis is not being perpetuated by the houseless people who will be sentenced in the poverty court. It is perpetuated by a lack of affordable housing, budget cuts in life-saving services and the social stigma surrounding the poor.
San Francisco's poverty crisis is perpetuated by a lack of affordable housing, budget cuts in life-saving services and the social stigma surrounding the poor.
Spending vital funds on the CJC, a system that does nothing to address the systemic roots of poverty and homelessness, that does not offer any new solution other than to temporarily busy worn-out hands with free labor and anger management classes – precious time spent away from earning enough money for food – is a criminal act in and of itself, ESPECIALLY since it is against the will of the voters.

3 thoughts on "Newsom ignores voters: $2.7 million poverty court opens on Polk Street"
Ann Garrison
Shouldn't the mayor be recalled for this royal decree, overruling the will of the voters of San Francisco?
I have to ask, who is the apparatus of force behind here? What is the law? The voters resoundingly defeated Prop L, making Prop L the law, no?
Isn't the apparatus of force, the San Francisco Police and the San Francisco Sheriff's Department, supposed to enforce the law in San Francisco?
And, should they not therefore shut down Mayor Gavin Newsom's unlawful Community Justice Center?
Is there any law on the books that allows the Mayor to overrule San Francisco voters like this?
Did Gavin Newsom create the Community Justice Center simply with his "earmark" authority over the City budget, and the voters be damned? Money talks, so if Mayor Newsom earmarked funds, San Francisco taxpayers' funds, for this Community Justice Center, I suppose that may be what happened.
But, can someone better versed in the San Francisco City Charter than I, please tell me whether Mayor Newsom can lawfully disregard the will of the voters, and the Board of Supervisors, here?
And, if he cannot, why District Attorney Kamala Harris, and the San Francisco Police Department, and Sheriff's Department have not intervened to close this Community Justice Court?
Isn't this against the law? Or, perhaps, I should say, isn't this martial law?↓
look up prop 36 and Drug Courts.
The CJC aims to do what both of these programs do while simultaneously trying to get the "minor" infraction cases, misdemeanors, out of the superior court.
Although controversial, the goal is not to implement a police state or martial law.↓
Ann Garrison
This seems to be a case where Newsom put it to the voters, hoping to get their blessing, but said so what, I'm going to do it anyway when he didn't. I very much hope this comes out during his gubernatorial race.↓

On the West Coast, it's not often you see a square pizza. But at Paulie's Pizza in Franktown Corners, they're introducing all of us to real Western New York pizza. "A lot of my ingredients are shipped in from Buffalo, New York. My mother still lives there so we all call her the east coast distributor over there."
When Paulie Archie and his wife, Jennifer, moved to Reno 8 years ago, they had no experience in the restaurant business. But what they did know is Reno didn't offer the same type of pizza they grew up with in Buffalo. So two months ago, they opened Paulie's. And while pizza is king here, Paulie is also king of chicken wings. "I was four-time chicken wing champ of Buffalo, New York. I've eaten a lot of wings in my time. So if anyone knows what buffalo wings are, I do."
They even have a mamma mia wing option that's so hot you have to sign a waiver to order them.
Fortunately, they have other options! They also have sandwiches like the chicken parmesan. And then there's the famous one they call "beef on a weck." "I didn't know there are that many transients out here from Western New York until I started putting the beef on weck on the window and people come in almost every day asking for it and I tell them on Wednesdays."
While Paulie has the pizza, Jen has the bar. And she's offering some unique options on this side of the restaurant as well. "I also do Jell-O shots all the time. Which a lot of bars don't do. $1.50 Jell-O shots all day long.
So for an authentic taste of Western New York, just head to Franktown Corners in Reno.

How One Hospital Zapped Infection Rates
This article appears in the January/February 2013 issue of HealthLeaders magazine.
It isn't every day top health officials in the Obama administration and two national professional societies host an hour-long national webinar to praise your hospital for reducing central line-associated bloodstream infections in its intensive care units, and even send a U.S. Department of Health and Human Services video team in for two days to chronicle the steps you took to achieve success. It's also not every day all this happens after embarrassing data showed your hospital had among the worst CLABSI rates in the state, and that the committee you had charged to deal with all of this had failed.
With changes in your culture and practice, even while facing financial instability, your hospital manages to reverse this surprising and humiliating distinction and becomes a national hero all hospitals are advised to emulate.
It sounds too good to be true. But that's what happened to 511-licensed-bed Hospital of Saint Raphael in New Haven, Conn., which at about the same time in September 2012 merged to become the Saint Raphael campus of 1,519-licensed-bed Yale New Haven Hospital.
"I said, 'We are going to blow up the committee and put a stick of dynamite under this. We are going to start again,' " recalls Alan Kliger, MD, vice president and chief medical officer for the former hospital and now Yale New Haven Health System's vice president and chief quality officer. After he realized how comparatively poor Saint Raphael's rates really were, "we pledged that we would do whatever is necessary to get to zero infections," he says.
HHS, the Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology, and the Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of America heard about the success and lauded YNHH Saint Raphael Campus with a first-of-its kind Partnership in Prevention award for "the greatest sustainable improvement in eliminating healthcare-associated infections." Kliger's teams had bested 40 other applicants across the country.
During a public webinar Oct. 15, Howard Koh, MD, HHS assistant secretary for health, called the award "historic" because "reducing healthcare-associated infections is so critically important. We know that HAIs affect not only one in 20 hospitalized patients, but also many more in ambulatory and long-term care settings."
"We must broaden our healthcare system from one focused on treatment, sometimes delivered late, to a system that also is focused on prevention, delivered as early as possible," Koh said, adding that reaching the goal, "involves changing entrenched behaviors for busy professionals and large complex institutions such as hospitals."
Three other hospitals received an honorable mention for their efforts: Denver Health Medical Center; Mayo Clinic Florida in Jacksonville, Fla.; and Shore Health System in Easton, Md.

Mavericks opened up their home season last night against Westhope/Newburg/GlenburnWesthope/Newburg/Glenburn on Tuesday, August 26th
By LaVonne Erickson
The Mohall Lansford Sherwood (MLS) Mavericks opened up their 2014 season last night, Tuesday, August 26th, when they hosted the Westhope/Newburg/Glenburn Sioux in Mohall. Result of that game was not known by press time. On Saturday, August 30th, MLS will travel to New Town to play the Eagles in a Region 3 match-up.
MLS hopes to improve on their 1-8 season from last year, and will again be coached by Cale Peterson. Coach Peterson played at the University of Mary from 2004 to 2007 and was named Academic All Conference in 2007. From 2008 to 2009 he coached MSUM and from 2009 to 2011 he coached at the University of Mary. He became the Mavericks' assistant coach in 2011 and co-head coach in 2012, before taking over the head coaching position in 2013. Coach Peterson will be assisted by Boyd Southam, Travis Fritel, Cody Beck, and Scott Erickson.
The Mavericks are again going to be a very young football team. However, many of the players have gained valuable experience on last year's team. MLS returns eight players that either started or received valuable playing time last season. Coach Peterson stated, "The kids have worked very hard in the off season with almost 90% of the team participating in strength training year round. The team is physically ready to win games. Now it becomes a mental task."
Players out for this year's team include: Seniors - Connor Brackenbury, Trevor Evanger, Cole Feland, and Randy Kelly; Juniors - Trey Holsten, Tyler Schrupp, Jesse Mott, Tanner Driscoll, Mason Nehring, Jacob Smith, Matthew Lafferty, Zach Urfer, and Seth Southam; Sophomores: Statler Olson, Zavure Frech, Cabe Radzwill, Berkley Santos, and Talon Thompson; and Freshmen - Erik McIntyre, Will Smith, Cole Southam, Trevor Savelkoul, Tanner Lembke, Aaron Voigt, Beau Driscoll, Levi Feland, and Kody Wagonhoffer.
Coach Peterson feels that the Mavericks' offensive line should be one of the team's strengths if they stay healthy. MLS should be deep at the running back position, as well as the defensive line. However, a concern for the Mavericks is the depth on the offensive line.
The Mavericks return two All Region players from last year. Trevor Evanger was named All Region and Cole Feland received honorable mention status on the All Region Team. As for leadership, MLS looks for Trevor Evanger to be a team leader, as well as many of the other players.
When asked who the Mavericks feel will be favorites in the Region they named Westhope/Newburg/Glenburn, Towner/Granville/Upham, and Divide County. "W/N/G should be very good, as they return a lot of players with a lot of experience. TGU has a strong program and should have very talented skill positions. Divide County has a large senior class and should be competitive again," commented Coach Peterson.
Each year the team sets a goal for their season, and this year was no different. When asked what their goal was and some of the things they would have to do to realize those goals, the players decided it was to make the playoffs. Coach Peterson said that in order for the team to ... (To read this article and many more, see this week's edition of the Renville County Farmer.)
This past week, the MLS Maverick football team received the ALS Ice Bucket challenge from the Westhope/Newburg/Glenburn Sioux football team. They conquered that challenge, as the Mohall Fire Department brought out the fire trucks and the team lined up to be hosed down with ice cold water. It wasn't a very warm day for the challenge either, as you will notice the clouds, along with a rainbow in the right of the photo.
Before completing the challenge, the Mavericks announced that they were now challenging the Mavericks' Volleyball Team, the Towner/Granville/ Upham Titan football team; and Grant County/Flasher team coached by Jamie Krenz.
The ALS ice bucket challenge is becoming very popular in this area, as well as in North Dakota and around the United States.
