Phoenix office worker: 'We have a shooter'
Originally published: Jan 31, 2013 - 12:10 am
PHOENIX -- Workers at a Phoenix office building where gunfire rang out Wednesday say the scene was one of scared colleagues locking doors and others seeing the victims lying on the ground.
Vanessa Brogan, who works in sales support at an insurance business in the three-story complex, says she heard a loud bang that she thought at first was from somebody working in or near the building.
She says others at the business thought they heard multiple loud noises. Brogan says people locked themselves in offices until authorities evacuated the complex that houses insurance, medical and law offices.
Becky Neher, who works for a title company in the building, says the two gunshots she heard sounded like two pieces of metal banging against each other.
But then, Neher says "Someone yelled, 'We have a shooter.'"
She soon saw two victims lying on the ground outside the back of the building.

Fixing a major but unacknowledged bug in the operating system, last week's iPhone OS 3.1 update has rendered most iPhones and all iPod Touches incompatible with Exchange 2007 servers that require on-device data be encrypted, a standard safeguard used by businesses.
In other words, Apple has fundamentally betrayed its iPhone users and the businesses that have either explicitly or implicitly supported the device.
[ Find business-oriented iPhone apps the easy way with InfoWorld's online app finder. | See the 21 apps Apple doesn't want on your iPhone. ]
If you're like me, you probably ran the iPhone OS 3.1 update late Friday along with all the other Mac OS X updates. And perhaps, like me, you found your device no longer syncing to your company's Exchange 2007 Server. I, for one, assumed something had changed on the back end. After all, a dot-one update is a bug fix, so there shouldn't have been anything major to watch out for. But I learned Monday it was the update itself that was to blame.
My first reaction was, "Damn. Now I can't check e-mail or schedules when not at my desk. I wonder how long it will take for Apple to fix the issue." Our IT department is not about to relax its encryption requirement to deal with a change in Apple's OS. Why should it?
Then it sunk in. The iPhone has been falsely reporting to Exchange servers since July 2008 that it supports on-device encryption.
The lie the iPhone has been telling
That's right. Thousands of users have been accessing e-mail, calendars, and contacts over Exchange connections through their iPhones or iPod Touches, not knowing they were compromising their corporate security. During that entire time, Apple has extolled its support of Exchange and convinced many businesses that the iPhone was a corporate-class device they should embrace or, at least, tolerate.
It also turns out that Apple had a similar issue -- with a similarly stealthy fix -- in its iPhone OS 3.0 update, which corrected misreporting about its VPN policy support.
How many businesses will revisit their iPhone support now that they know Apple shipped and promoted a product as fit for business only to later find that the device had a major security flaw? Apple clearly knew of the flaw at some point; otherwise, it would not have fixed it in the iPhone OS 3.1 update. Worse, how many users or businesses will trust Apple, now that they know it not only hid a major flaw from their attention but also slipstreamed a fix that broke compatibility with most of its devices?
Consider the implications on Mac OS X Snow Leopard, which now boasts the same Exchange support as the iPhone. As of the Mac OS X 10.6.1 update of last week, it still works with our encryption-requiring Exchange 2007 Server. But how does anyone know Snow Leopard won 't have a similar breakdown in the future, if not for encryption then for something else?
I suspect that Apple has set back its enterprise cause several years, if not permanently.

Renishaw offers youngsters an insight into engineering (From Gazette Series)

Wotton firm Renishaw and Young Engineers offer youngsters an insight into engineering
9:00am Sunday 3rd February 2013 in News By Lucy Fulford
WOTTON firm Renishaw has launched an initiative to encourage young people to consider careers in engineering.
The engineering technologies company has teamed up with organisation Young Engineers to give six young people an insight into their industry.
The Renishaw Engineering Experience, which is open to full-time UK students aged 16 to 18, will run annually for an initial three years. The first experience will take place this June.
It is hoped the competition will stimulate interest in an industry which is suffering from a major shortfall of skilled workers.
Renishaw currently has over 100 vacancies in the UK, the majority for engineers with specialist knowledge, some of which have been open for more than a year.
The company's group human resources manager Peter Bowler said: "As a nation we simply have to attract high quality people into engineering.
"The Renishaw Engineering Experience promises to be an inspiring and potentially life changing experience for six lucky students."
Winning students will spend five days visiting engineering organisations and meeting the people behind their success, as well as seeing the products which impact our daily lives.
Rod Edwards, chief executive of Young Engineers, said: "Engineers are involved in cutting edge technology in amazingly diverse products and have a major role in helping to tackle global challenges including climate change, health and energy security.
"Today, engineers are in great demand in the UK, and with a shortage of engineers forecast for many years, there has arguably never been a better time to consider a career in engineering."
Entry is open until Sunday, March 31, with selection taking place in April. Full details can be found online at Youngeng.org/index.asp?page=1405

Defying expectations, the current regime in Egypt has acted more harshly against Hamas than the previous one, Vice Premier Silvan Shalom told Israel Radio on Thursday.
"It's good for the public to know that the current leadership is acting against Hamas in a very tough way," Shalom said, specifying that it is destroying tunnels "one after the other," limiting movement and blocking it from carrying out terrorist activity from Egyptian territory.
"I can tell you that Egypt's actions against Hamas are much harsher than it was under the previous regime," Shalom said.
Egypt brokered an informal ceasefire between Israel and Hamas Wednesday night, after two days of intense violence that saw some eighty rockets and mortar shells fired from the Gaza Strip into the western Negev.
Late Wednesday night, a Palestinian official said Egypt was mediating a truce which he said went into effect at midnight. No rocket fire or Israeli Air Force strikes on Gaza were reported overnight.
"The contacts Cairo made resulted in a verbal promise by Hamas to calm the situation down, and Israel said it was monitoring calm on the ground and would refrain from attacks unless it was subject to rocket fire from Gaza," said the official, who is close to the talks.
Taking a somewhat different tack, Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi on Wednesday said Egypt will "never accept any assault on the Palestinian people" and will stand by them in their struggle, Palestinian news agency Paltoday reported.
Speaking on state television to mark the Islamic Eid Al-Adha festival, Morsi said: "We will never accept any assault or siege on the Palestinian people. Egypt provides Palestine with all its needs such as food and clothing."
Morsi added: "We do not declare war on anyone. Palestinian rights will not be lost, we are in the same trench with our kin [Palestinians] against any aggression toward them," he said.
Morsi commented: "The blood of Palestinians is our blood, their life is our life and their pains are our pains."
According to Shalom, Hamas thought it would have more freedom to operate from Egypt under the leadership of President Mohamed Morsi, a member of the Muslim Brotherhood movement that spawned Hamas. Instead, Shalom said, Hamas "finds itself exactly in the opposite situation."
"The security cooperation between us and Egypt is excellent, and is continuing as normal," he concluded.

Most anyone who was alive 50 years ago when President John F. Kennedy was assassinated can tell you exactly where they were when they heard the news.
For Jim McClellan of Kingsport, the news meant a somber duty assignment. McClellan and 19 other men would stand guard over the body of one of the nation's most beloved leaders once it returned to the nation's capitol.
McClellan was 26 years old, stationed at Bolling Air Force Base in Washington, D.C., and a member of the Air Force Honor Guard.
He was washing his car when he heard the news come across the radio.
"After a few minutes it came across the loud speaker on the base," says McClellan, "all of us were to report back."
He was at the White House when JFK's family arrived with his casket.
"When Jackie and Robert came in with the casket, Jackie still had blood on her dress," he recalls, "I heard Jackie say something to Robert, then Robert said the casket will stay closed."
For the next three days, McClellan got very little sleep, as the guards worked 15 to 30 minute shifts, at the footsteps of history.
"You couldn't blink... if you blinked, you didn't have another shift," McClellan says, "you could let the tears fall down, but you couldn't wipe them... I had tears all the time."
He was on duty for perhaps the most poignant moment of that somber week, when 3-year-old John F. Kennedy, Jr. saluted his slain father's casket.
"It was probably the saddest part of that funeral," McClellan recalls, "the Navy guy that stood across from me, the tears coming out of his eyes looked like a water faucet, and all of us had tears in our eyes."
McClellan left the Honor Guard shortly afterward, and later served a tour of duty in Vietnam.
He returned to the Honor Guard a few years later, but said it was never the same for him.
"I didn't enjoy it," he says, "It was different, everything had changed."Copyright 2013 WJHL. All rights reserved.

Originally posted Oct. 22, 2011 @ 11 a.m. ET
Vikings CB Chris Cook was arrested early Saturday morning on a pair of misdemeanor charges. Vikings spokesman Bob Hagan said the team had ruled Cook out of Sunday's game.
Cook, a second-year corner, was charged with domestic assault and intentional attempts to inflict bodily harm on another. He was booked at 4:06 a.m. CT, according to Hennepin County (Minn.) police records. He is being held without bail at the county jail, and a court date was set for Monday, Oct. 24 at 8:15 a.m.
Cook was arrested after someone called 911 at about 2 a.m. to report hearing people across the street yelling and screaming, Eden Prairie police spokeswoman Katie Beal said.
In March, Cook was accused of brandishing a weapon during a verbal confrontation near the home of Cook's mother in Lynchburg, Va., but a judge found him not guilty during a bench trial in May.
The way we see it
Regardless of the outcome of the charges against Cook, which are serious enough, the timing of his arrest couldn't have come at a worse time for the Vikings. Facing the potent passing attack of Aaron Rodgers and the Packers, who use a lot of four- and five-WR formations, his absence leaves an already-thin Vikings secondary nearly threadbare. Starting CB Antoine Winfield, in whose spot Cook had started the past two games, is doubtful for Sunday's game with a neck injury, and starting S Jamarca Sanford is doubtful with a concussion. If Winfield is unable to play, Asher Allen will likely start in his place. If Sanford is unable to go, Tyrell Johnson would likely fill in for him.

An emotional vigil was held at 4:20 a.m. Friday on the Las Vegas Strip for 62-year-old Michael Boldon who was killed in Thursday's wreck. Boldon worked for Desert Cab Company.
Dozens of cab drivers including complete strangers paid their respects at the spot Boldon was killed on the Strip.
"We are not going to see him today," said Boldon's friend Jennifer Gonzales. "It doesn't feel right. It's hard. Like I said earlier, my job is different today."
Gonzales said Boldon's last stop was at the Rio but it's unclear if his fare was the passenger killed in Thursday's wreck. Gonzales said she passed the shooter's getaway car and the driver ran several red lights.
"I heard, 'Oh my gosh, cab 144 is on fire,'" said Gonzales. "There's been a really bad accident. I had just passed that intersection. I didn't even get to the Venetian yet and the Range Rover was right behind me coming into the Venetian. I made a U-turn and the Range Rover almost hit me."
Gonzales said the Range Rover was driving so fast, she couldn't get a look at the suspects. On Friday, Boldon's friends said the accident could have happened to any of them.
"It's scary," said Boldon's friend Farrah Faber. "Earlier it could have been any of us. All of us have a family."
They want Boldon's family to know they're not alone.
"It's sad," said Faber. "Just knowing that you aren't going to see that person anymore. He's gone forever."
The company is accepting donations to help the family pay for funeral costs. The family has set up a fund through any Wells Fargo branch under "Michael Boldon Memorial Fund."

RALEIGH — Carolina Hurricanes president and general manager Jim Rutherford and N.C. State chancellor Randy Woodson met Friday to discuss scheduling issues at PNC Arena.
"It was a good meeting and we'll continue to communicate and work on it," Rutherford said. "I don't want to characterize the meeting other than to say it was a good meeting. I'll leave it at that until we get to the point where both sides have an understanding that makes sense."
Gale Force Holdings, the company that owns the Hurricanes, operates the arena and is responsible for scheduling the team's NHL games as well as other events. N.C. State, the arena's prime tenant, has priority on scheduling its men's basketball games and fall commencement in PNC Arena.
Gale Force claimed NCSU put a hold on an excessive number of dates for football and basketball. N.C. State uses the parking areas around the arena for football games.
The Hurricanes had a June 1 deadline for submitting available home dates to the NHL for the 2013-2014 season. N.C. State said it would not receive its ACC conference schedule for next season until August or early September and needed to hold dates open for added scheduling flexibility.
The Centennial Authority, which oversees the operation of the arena, voted June 6 to request that Rutherford and Woodson meet to try and resolve the scheduling issues. Their meeting Friday was held at the authority's offices in PNC Arena.
Rutherford said a second meeting would be held within the next month.

Popovers are insanely easy to make and are magically delightful; your kids might like to break them apart and use the halves as soup scoopers. Disclosure: Every now and then mine don't puff, and I'm never sure why.
Hands-On Time: 8 minutes
Ready In: 25 minutes
Yield: 12 popovers
2 eggs at room temperature
1 cup milk at room temperature
3/4 cup flour
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt (or half as much table salt)
3 tablespoons salted butter
- Heat oven to 450. Whisk together the eggs, milk, flour, and salt until they're mostly mixed (a few lumps are fine).
- Cut the butter into 12 slivers, pop one piece into each well of a 12-well nonstick muffin tin, and put the tin in the oven until the butter is melted and foamy, about 2 minutes.
- Fill each cup half full with batter (use all the batter), then bake until the popovers are puffed and brown, about 15 minutes. (Don't open the oven door to peek before then.) Serve immediately.

text: Ravens DT Haloti Ngata believes NT Terrence Cody has shown improvement in his first year as a starter in the interior of the Ravens' line. "I think he started off a little slow just because he was a starter and wasn't used to playing a full football game," Ngata said of the 6-4, 349-pound Cody, who backed up Kelly Gregg as a rookie. "But seeing him now, he knows how to use his strength, when to use it. Now he's better with staying on his feet and not getting cut off on the back side. He's not overshooting the gap and making sure he's doing his job right. He's grown so much totally as a football player, and he's going to be a force to reckon with in years to come." Cody, 23, notched 34 tackles and started all 16 games in the regular season. The Ravens have been stout vs. the run, allowing just 3.5 yards a carry (No. 2 in NFL), and opponents have not had much success rushing up the middle this season.

CHATTANOOGA (WRCB) - It was a crowded day at the Chattanooga Market, as hundreds of people took advantage of salon and spa treatments, for a good cause.
"Chattanooga Cares" hosted its "Cut Up for Life" event to raise money for local HIV patients.
Several Chattanooga salons volunteered to set up shop at the Pavilion, giving out hair cuts, nail services and massages for $20.
All the money will help HIV patients with living expenses and support services.
Last year, they raised $10,000 but hoped to beat that Sunday.
The total isn't in yet, but organizers say it was a great turnout.
They also offered HIV tests on site, raising awareness that 1 in 4 people don't know they have the disease.

Thanks to a bit of cultural synchronicity, French LD Jean Kalman designed the lighting for Il Ritorno d'Ulisse in Patria and L'Incoronazione di Poppea, two of the three operas presented in Brooklyn Academy of Music's (BAM) Monteverdi Cycle this spring. It was a wonderful opportunity to see these early-17th-century pieces, as well as two very different instances of Kalman's lighting techniques.
Ulisse (center and bottom right) was a scrumptious production directed by Adrian Noble of Britain's Royal Shakespeare Company, in conjunction with musical director William Christie and the France-based Les Arts Florissants. Originally performed in the 17th-century jewel-box-sized Théâtre du Jeu-de-Paume in Aix-en-Provence, as part of the summer opera festival there, this Ulisse was designed by London-based Anthony Ward to fit into a small space, so the transfer to BAM's Harvey Theatre was rather easy.
"In Aix, I had no choice," says Kalman. "The side walls of the set were just inches from the walls of the theatre, which has 400 seats and was just restored." His solution: the use of Svoboda light curtains for crosslight; these were replaced in Brooklyn with aircraft landing lights in banks of eight on either side of the stage.
There are also a few 5kW fresnels with scrollers used for backlight. "In Aix you could hear every sound, so when I asked for scrollers they were worried," Kalman explains. "But we put the fans on dimmers so we could run them at the right temperature for the gels and reflect the intensity of the music. We could cut the fans completely when the 5ks were not on."
The lighting is very warm and sparkling as well, adding texture to Ward's simple, sand-colored set. "It reflects a conversation I had with Adrian," notes Kalman. "We wanted the audience to have great pleasure in being there with us, and to say 'how delicious.' I guess it was a success," he says with an impish grin. One of the reviews even called it "transcendental lighting."
One of the things that gives the lighting this quality is Kalman's color mixtures. He likes to make gel sandwiches, layering Lee 201 (full CT blue) with Rosco 54 (special lavender) to "pale" it down. "This is a good mix for the HMIs." he says. "I could play with minus green, but the lavender makes it a little more blue." Another favorite is L205 (half CT orange) with L151 (gold tint) for warmth.
Poppea (top and left) had a rather harsh, abstract set meant to echo the emptiness at the heart of Rome under Emperor Nero's rule: large black walls, hard-edged rocks, and an expansive backdrop of crumpled metallic fabric. "I used more HMIs here, as well as 1kW low-voltage beam lights we brought from Amsterdam," says Kalman, who likes the power and quality of these lights. "It's like there's something there," he says, rubbing his fingers together as if touching the light.
Oddly, some of the beam lights were on stands in the far side aisles of the BAM opera house. "This is due to the size of the stage in Amsterdam, which is very wide," Kalman notes. "There was no room on the stage in Brooklyn, but these diagonal positions are part of the dynamic of the staging." This dynamic also called for the singers to move in and out of the light. At one moment they can be in a harsh, blasting light, and the next be in warm tungsten light.
"I am interested in 'bad lighting' with the singers always on the edge of being out of the light," says Kalman. "They might have a hot spot on their chests and very little light on their faces. In this case, it works with their movement and the abrupt changes in the music."
In being "bad," Kalman is interested in seeing just how far he can go. "Lighting normally shouldn't be like that," he says. "It's a complex question of what is dark and what is lit. But it works because it's action and adds tension to the show."

Pro Clinton door to door canvassing diaries please
by thewholeofthemoon, Sat Apr 05, 2008 at 08:29:50 PM EDT
I find these very personal, door to door, "clipboard gripped in my sweaty palm" diaries amazingly powerful. DKos has a few every week (pro Obama) and they are great reading. I think I have read a few on MyDD (1 or 2 about the Texas caususes?) that were pro Clinton but I haven't seen many recently.
I think they are a great insight into the campaigns and they usually don't get bogged down with the he said/she said crap. Please more pro Clinton canvassing diaries! I want to find out more! It gives us sad types a sense of a life beyond goodnight moon

About 50 FAU students staged a sit-in outside school president Mary Jane Saunders' office to protest the sale of the school's stadium naming rights to GEO Group -- a protest that caused Saunders to say she doesn't know everything about the for-profit company that paid the school $6 million and prompted her to question the validity of accusations against them.
Read More: GEO Group tries to wipe alleged human rights violations from Wikipedia | A look at college football stadium naming | Stephen Colbert talks Owlcatraz
According to the Chronicle of Higher Education, students -- calling themselves members of a group entitled the "Stop Owlcatraz Coalition," utilizing the name the stadium has picked up since GEO Group bought naming rights -- waited outside her office for two hours, at which point Saunders briefly addressed them and agreed to meet with them on Friday.
Saunders' speech to the students is the first time she's really spoken publicly about the school's decision. At first, she had declined to answer questions about the naming decision when a reporter brought up GEO Group's allegedly rampant mistreatment of prisoners at an immigration detention center. Here's video of her talk with students, via Deadspin:
"I don't know all the answers, I don't know everything about this company. I do know that there are some things that have been discussed that may not be true," Saunders said, a statement that prompted one student to audibly ask if she was being serious.
Saunders also said the naming deal provides "a wonderful opportunity for us to think about the impact of privatizing prisons," and that she looks forward to having an open dialogue session about it.

Self-Portrait, 1888
Charles Laval (1862-1894)
Charles Laval was Paul Gauguin's travelling companion when the artist went to Martinique in 1887. On their return from this island paradise both artists settled in Pont-Aven in Brittany. Here Laval painted this self-portrait, posing himself in front of a window through which can be seen a garden with a colourful tree. The artist painted the tree, the glass and his face with short, generally vertical brushstrokes. Other parts of the painting, such as the grass and clothing, are more sketchy in treatment, creating an effect reminiscent of a watercolour.

Thanks to portableparty (on the other site) for bringing this to the tasting last night. This bottle is about 3 years old. Bottle number is smudged but out of 500.
A- Pours a slightly hazy amber with a thin head that dissipates quickly, leaving no lacing behind.
S- Lots of cherry tartness upfront follow by musty blackberries and strawberries, vinegar, horse blanket, peppery spice and a hint of green apple and oak.
T- Again, tart fruit notes are prominent with musty cherry, strawberries and green apple followed by vinegar, horse blanket, peppery spice and oak.
M- Medium carbonation and a light body that finishes a bit dry.
O- This has held up incredibly well for a 3 year old Flanders. No oxidation and others at the tasting said that is more tart and overall better then when it was fresh. The surprise beer of the tasting for me.

According to the brewer Jeff, Rode Haring is Dutch for Red Herring. On tap at Autumn Beer Review in Minneapolis, I made plenty of notes since I didn't want to rely on a fuzzy memory. Anyway, appearance is slightly cloudy amber-orange with ruby highlights and a lacy off-white head. Aroma is of wonderfully sweet, bready malt and a hint of tart sour cherries. Not much hop aroma but I did note faint flowery noble hops. Taste is very complex and difficult to pin down any dominating flavors. Again with the sweet bready malts. Just a touch of hop bitterness and flowery hop flavor. There's pronounced tartness but the sweet malt balances, if not dances with the tartness. There's a bit of a wine-like flavor and alchohol in the finish which can only be described as "medium". Neither really too sweet or too dry. Mouthfeel is right in the middle as well which makes this beer very smooth and drinkable and along with the sweet-tart flavors it's also very refreshing. Very complex and layered beer. I think Flat Earth is really on to something special with this one.

On-tap at the Nile (where the heck was Al?), served in a Kasteel goblet. Appears a slightly hazy red-amber, with emphasis on the red, and a short, white head.
Damn, this beer could be straight out of Belgium for all I know upon tasting. Seriously, someone made this in St. Paul? This style-accuracy by American breweries is very hard to come by in sour ales and I think this puts Flat Earth up in the elite class of Jolly Pumpkin and Russian River.
At first it reminds me of Rodenbach Classic for similar sour fruits that don't hit you over the head with funk. As I sip more, I realize these flavors are gentler and more drinkable. It reminds me of the drinkability of Goudenband on-tap. I'm tasting tangy lemon rind and oak with a bit of sweet cherries. Oh man, this is good. I suppose it could be more complex, but I'm very satisfied.

Thanks to brewseum for this bottle, number 365 of 500.
A: The red ale is appropriately a derivation on amber, probably more brown than red though. A tiny head bubbled up on pour then disappeared.
S: The nose is very medicinal, a blast of acetaminophen. A mild tartness lurks behind the medicine. The tartness lacks a vinegary element (which I just happen to dislike).
T: The medicine jumps out again in the first sip. The flavor is strong, dominating the first part of each sip. Graininess follows but doesn't overcome the bite upfront. The tartness is more acidic, lacking the vinegary acetic flavors that come from many Flemish reds. But even that tartness is fleeting, rushing away as quickly as it arrived.
M: The mouthfeel does offer some redeeming berry sweetness but not enough to make it work. A stronger emphasis of that acidity could have overcome the medicinal aspects.
D: This is not my favorite style by any stretch, so it's tough to be objective. I'm glad that I had a number of people to share the bottle with.

184 of 500... Poured by ditmier at his house a long while back... reviewed from notes.. wish I would have done better... Thanks Eric.. This was on my wants for a long time.
Poured into my small La Trappe glass.. hazy deep red/orange brew with a lite head that dies back fairly quick to a pretty descent cap..
Nose is interesting.. sour cherries intermingling with currants.. lite funk and not alot else going on.. light acetic elements are the only thing keeping me going here.
Flavor is not nearly as good as I was hoping for.. just enough of a cherry blast to keep it in style.. the sour is more refined to an acetic note ... lite vinous elements help a bit.. descent body and a good carbonation, but the overall beer leaves me wanting more.. seems to be a little flat overall....
Despite my negatives, I actually think this is a good attempt on an elusive style.. especially for Americans... It's tough to get things dialed in and make them consistent... I will certainly try to score this one again... I dig the attempt.. just not this bottle.

Wonderful hand bottled and delivered to my door. This one I had been waiting for a while for. Served chilled and poured into a snifter, this one was consumed on 06/28/2009.
The pour was nice. Light reddish tint to a mostly brown looking Ale. Small head of off white on top that only barely escaped the glass before settling back down into just a thin crown along the sides and the bottom of the glass. Nice tart aroma was just what I was looking for. Light touches of what seemed to be raspberry, hints of light woody note. Nice clean flavor here. Not the most exploratory thing I have had at first, but letting it warm up did wonders. Brought out a nice mellow and richly tart flavor. Vinegar and apples, hints of dark fruits and a smooth, almost grassy note to it. Really nice stuff I have to admit. Very drinkable as the ABV was hardly noticeable. Overall a very solid ale I would gladly go for again. Very happy to have the chance to try it.

4.2/5 rDev +8%
Appearance: Poured with 1cm off white bubbly head that dissipated leaving no lacing. The beer is a clear orangish-reddish brown.
Smell: Tangy raspberry, slight charcoal smell, and some sourness.
Taste: Sour tangy up front, leading to a tangy sweet, followed by a roasted malt, and the after taste is similar to a pretzel.
Mouthfeel: Light bodied, tart feeling in the beginning, leaves mouth dry, low carbonation
Overall: Fairly drinkable, begins sour then leads to a roasted malt. First of this style for me, and I enjoyed it! Alcohol not noticeable.

A- Pours a 1 finger white head, over a semi-chill hazed copper orange color. No sediment is present.
S- Big on funk. Definitely some Brett here. Big notes of sour apples, vinegar, wet hay, tart cherries, as well as some buttery notes.
T- Starts out with notes of sour apple, some wet hay, nice funk from the brett, a nice dry tartness blankets the palette on the finish. Tart cherry notes also come into play on the extremely long finish.
M- Nice acidity, and low-med carbonation.
D- This is listed on the bottle as 5.7% and not the 7% listed on BA. Overall this is a pretty good Flanders but not quite a buttery as most. Definitely one of the best in the lineup, however. Definitely give this a shot if you can find the limited bottling, or catch it on tap.

It seems fitting to drink a Flanders Red Ale brewed here in Minnesota to say goodbye to one year, and hello to another. Bottle number 483 of 500. This beer pours a clear deep ruby color. The head is an inch in height, and recedes very slowly into thick chunky lacing which sticks to the sides of the glass. The aroma is of cherry, nuts, green apples, some nice sourness and tartness, and lots of bretta. The taste is of a little less sour than the aroma. There is more nuttiness, more cherry, and a hint of caramel. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with sharp carbonation. Overall, this is a wonderful beer that I would love to have the opportunity to drink again. Even if it doesn't get brewed again I would still like to tip my hat to the people at Flat Earth for taking a big risk in making this beer.

Bottle number 365 /500. Looking forward to giving this one a go,
A-Copper with a medium, light tan head that reduced to a thin veil and left spotty lace.
S-Musty tartness and a touch of residual sweetness. Nothing overly complex but pleasant.
T-Earthy tartness with a kick of spicy hops and a touch of light sweetness in the background. Not very deep complexity wise.
M-Medium-light bodied, fairly crisp with light lingering tartness and a dry finish.
D-Not "bad" but....IMO the tartness needs bumped up to be a true Flanders Red. A decent effort but needs some tweaking.

Bottle #226 of 500. Thanks Tyler!!! Shared with friends. Poured into a tasting glass. Pours a rich, murky red with a thin white head that fades quickly. SMells of vinegar, sour dark fruits and barnyard, but not overcooked. Softer aromas, not BAM in your face. Taste is similar. Lots of tartness up front, but it mellows and softens. The cherries, sour apple and vinegar flavors ar not mouth puckering, but certainly are there. That is why this vbeer is extremely drinkable. Nice smooth mouthfeel. Would love to have more!

A- lightly hazed red/orange colored beer. Small bubbly head that dissipates quickly, No lacing.
S- Good sweet caramel and lots of sour yeasty aromas. Hint of nuttiness and some alcohol present.
T- Lots of Sour bite up front with a nice nuttiness and hint of sweet caramel. Biscuity dry roasted malt aftertaste.
M- Medium bodied beer with puckering sour mouth feel and good carbonation. Pretty dry in the end.
Overall- This is an interesting beer. It is the first Flanders Red I have had so it is hard do judge. I am not sure I would buy it again.

This is bottle #69 of 500. Lucky 69....
Poured from a 750ml brown bottle into an oversized snifter. A semi-rigerous pour reveals a 1 inch white head. Receeding quickly to a small colar. Lace is thin and slippery leaving little sign of its presence.
The color is a brilliant pale amber with a bit of unfiltered hazyness.
Aroma is very nice with cherries dark fruits, almost fig newton like with its dark fruity figs and buttery bread, not a cookie but a fruited cake. Cherries, a little snap of hop spicieness, cherries are more tart in aroma with a hint strawberrie citrus aroma.
The taste is sharp and tart up front, carbonation all the way through. A good amount of fermented fruitieness and somthing like strawberries. Carbonation zings my toungue. Becoming increasingly dry at the swallow with a citric acid like snap and down the esaphagus.
I'm not a huge sour fan, but this is close in resemblence and I do enjoy it.
The citric acid burn is minimal, but that aspect is not so enjoyable.
Interesting brew, recommend if you can find it.

The brew appears a hazed reddish color with a white cap about a finger strong that retains well. Around the edges, some orange coloration is seen when held to the light.
The smell is earthy with a little fruit and citrus component. There is some cheese funk elements and more earthy almost grassy hop inclusion also present that integrates fairly well into the fruity alcohol esters.
The flavor is quite minerally. There is a carbonic aspect almost like chlorine present which was a bit off in the flavor profile. Some faint fruity notes were present but the carbonic/mineral aspect was modt prominent in the brew and that distracted from what one would expect in the style.
This is a light bodied brew with a modest amount carbonation. It is quite a unique take on the style and wasnt bad by any means, I think the carbonation got away on them and unfortunately it subsequently imparted some unpleasant notes.

Light tan 1 finger head with good retention. Hazy brown/copper beer.
Smells of sweet malts, spices, dark fruits, raisins and plums.
Tastes like green apples! Tart, some malts, but not as much as in the smell. Spices come in at the end of the drink.
Mouthfeel has light/fine carbonation. Clean to drink, clean finish.
Drinks decently. Splitting a bomber of this was the way to go.

A steady pour into my 25cl tulip glass produces an almost three-finger thick, amber tinged, light tan colored head. The beer has a dark cherry color to it that shows a brilliantly clear, copper tinged, red stained hue when held up to the light. The aroma smells of fruit, musty earth, toasty malt and a touch of sourness. The sourness seems to accentuate a cherry like aromatic as well as a touch of cranberry and some other tart berry notes. This has a bit of a malt backbone to it, though perhaps not quite as much as one migh expect in the style, that reminds me of a touch of biscuit notes, a hint of caramelized malt and perhaps even a hint of walnuts. The tartness here is fairly light, but does seem to have a hint of acetic character to it along with the slightly more noticeable lactic character. A touch of musty, earthy aromas hint at a Brettanomyces presence, but this doesn't have a full on barnyard funkiness to it. Not a bad aroma, though it does seem a touch tame.
Pretty light bodied with a fairly high level of carbonation, the combination produces a fizzy, watered down effect after the first sip. Releasing some of the carbonation helps a bit, but this remains fairly light bodied; it is not quite watery though as it does have a touch of heft to it as it rolls across the tongue. This has a light, but persistent tartness to it that tastes of lactic acidity; there is a touch of a grapefruit effect here as well as some flavors similar to tart pomegranate and perhaps a touch of other berry like notes. There is a touch of astringency in the finish that mixes with the tartness, but tastes a little plastic like.
Not bad, but somehow not all that interesting either. This has a hint of complexity to it in the aroma, but the flavor is fairly bland for a beer of this style. It definitely needs more acidity, and more, even some, funkiness would be a welcome addition.

Drinking this big bottle with ThePeskyDingo
Poured into New Belgium Globe Glass. Bottle 164/500
Pours a 1/2 finger fluffy slightly browned head. Settles down quickly. Doesn't leave a lot of lace. Color is a ruby brown, slight grape fruit color. Very appealing color.
Aroma: Wow I can taste the funk (yeast) in this beast. Very fruity. Dark dried fruits. Raisins. Pretty good.
Taste: Sour green apples. Yeasty funk. Dark dried fruits. Grapes. Wine like taste to it.
Mouthfeel: A little crisp. Very tarty and sweet. Medium bodied and carbonation. Leaves a dry dried fruit aftertaste.
Overall: I am sipping on this beer but it is quite tasty. I am glad I am splitting this bottle with a buddy. Very interesting, I really like the style. I am glad that Flat Earth put out a beer like this and I hope they make more of these interesting types.

Thanks to portableparty (RB) for dredging up this old Flat Earth bottle from who knows when. One of 500, but someone wet-fingered the number at some point in its history. 22 oz. bottle.
Pour looks suspiciously like unfiltered pond scum, brown, red, filmy, clearly with invasive species mixed in. Nose is tart & peppery, which doesn't seem bad.
Rode Haring is a beer I sorta liked when it came out, & it's better now. Make that much better. Tart & dry, it sings of fall berries left out in an oak barrel for a while to ferment in their own juices; the wood is excellent. Really, really dry, but that just invites more sipping. Only three ounces? I find myself strangely downcast.
This is, without a doubt, the best beer I've had from Flat Earth. A solid beer upon release, this one has aged beautifully. For those few who might still be hanging onto a bottle, drink it. It's ready. Excellent brew.

750 mL bottle poured into a Maredsous chalice. Enjoyed in the kitchen downstairs on moving day, on the first full day in my new place. Warm sun, cool breeze, great brew.
A-Pretty clear copper-amber brew, sports an attractive glowing hue. Bubbly tan head quickly recedes, but is easily revived with a small shake, releasing some of this beer's effervescent carbonation.
S-Puckery tart, like concentrated green apple (sans sweetness), with a funky twist. Very fresh.
T-Slight initial malt sensation is immediately overwhelmed by a tart/funky flavor with hints of fruitiness. Finishes clean, very dry, with a slight lingering tartiness.
M-Effervescent carbonation compliments the refreshingly light-medium body. My mouth is not weighed down by this beer at any time, especially in it's clean finish.
D-Pretty darn good! Refreshing, but still complex and out of the ordinary. A good representation of style. Although it sounds like it may be a while before Flat Earth releases this one again, I look forward to enjoying a few more bottles at that time.
Bottle 117/500.

one of the only flander reds from the twin cities... and a wonderful beer with a mild introduction to the style for the area. looks as it should with a reddish murky. a nose of bread and vanilla. soft cherry. not so much tart as expected. the woody nature is yeasty. not so much dry. somewhat sweet and mild with a very nice vanilla that doesn't bring out the alcohol. sort of surprised that its so high in abv and so mild without as much in the nose... or compromising of the vanilla esters for that matter.

750 ml poured into generic pint glass
Appearance: Dark red/orange with half inch white head and nice lacing.
Smell: Biscuit malt, spice, and tart cherry.
Taste: Sourness hits right away with the tart cherry flavor and then has a smokiness to the ending, tobacco flavor maybe. The sour is balanced by a nice sweetness and funky yeast flavors.
Mouthfeel: Smooth going down and the sourness will make your mouth water.
Drinkability: If this was more readily available I'd drink it all the time. Wish I would have bought two bottles.
Overall: Delicious beer from Flat Earth. My hat goes off to them for brewing this. Seek this out.

Momeni Encore Charcoal Rug
Love this rug!
barbara from sevierville, TN– Verified Buyer
I bought this rug for my bathroom and its great. Nice quality, muted softer color, easy to clean. The weight is heavier than most but I would still recommend using a rug pad.
In 1975, father and son moved to NY and formed Momeni, Inc., a fine Oriental rug importer. Momeni, Inc. continues to sell beautiful one-of-a-kind product, but has since expanded into a leading manufacturer and importer of rugs worldwide. Momeni presently has over 50 programmed rug lines, encompassing designs from traditional to contemporary, in qualities of hand-tufted, knotted, hooked, loomed and even machine made.
For thirty years the Momeni name has become synonymous with great quality, cutting-edge designs, and warm, friendly service. The rug industry has changed since Momeni first started, but Haji Momeni's philosophy of "make good quality rugs that people like" has remained the cornerstone of the Momeni success story. This philosophy is now carried on by the next generation of Momeni--Reza, Aria, and Ali, Hajji's other three sons.

Salon: Pawlenty 'Has His Own Rev. Wright'
Mild-mannered Minnesotan Tim Pawlenty may have his own Rev. Wright, Salon.com's Justin Elliott sensationally alerted readers of the War Room blog Thursday morning.
The reason, Elliott argues: the former Minnesota governor's preacher believes in manmade global warming and wants a liberal immigration reform policy enacted into law:
It's not quite "God damn America!" but this one bears watching. Tim Pawlenty may have his very own pastor problem.
The former Minnesota governor's longtime pastor is a man named Leith Anderson, who, while he is a national leader in evangelical circles, holds views on a few crucial political issues that are anathema to the typical GOP primary voter.
But whereas Wright was busy during Sunday morning worship services spewing anti-American screeds from the pulpit, it appears Anderson's decidedly more civil political activity has occurred outside the worship service in his role as president of the nonpartisan National Association of Evangelicals:
The influential conservative blogger Erick Erickson of RedState.com tweeted this week: "Prediction: Tim Pawlenty's preacher is going to cause him some problems in the primary."
Erickson included a link to a 2006 NPR story , headlined "Evangelical Leaders Urge Action on Climate Change," which leads with an anecdote told by Anderson.
"My wife and I took an excursion to Antarctica, and for a period of a few weeks, we heard some of the things that were related to global warning as we visited sites," he recalls. ...
"Climate changes in terms of famine, in terms of the inability to grow crops, in terms of the flooding of islands, most affects the poor," he says. "So we here in America probably can do many things to exempt ourselves from the immediate consequences, but the front edge of disaster is most going to affect those who have the least."
Anderson, who leads a mega-church of 5,000 worshippers, is one of 86 evangelical leaders who are challenging the Bush administration on global warming. Their "Evangelical Call to Action" argues that there's no real scientific debate about the dangers of climate change -- an assertion that many balk at. The group is calling on the government to act urgently, by, among other things, passing a federal law to reduce carbon dioxide emissions.
The climate change issue is particularly sensitive for Pawlenty, who had to apologize during the first Republican debate for his past support for a cap-and-trade plan to cut emissions. We've also seen Newt Gingrich attacked from the right on climate change.
Perhaps Elliott is just being a bit cheeky with his Rev. Wright comparison. Again, there's no doubt Anderson's views may raise questions about what Pawlenty thinks of his pastor's politics.
But absent Sunday morning sermons dedicated to these topics, the analogy is too far a stretch to credibly make; even if Anderson called for immigration amnesty or cap-and-tax from the pulpit, that's still light years away from condemning America as evil.

There are many people who stood against the Global Warming Hoax at great expense to themselves. To be fair they are just better people than those who sign truce with the forces of Liberalism. Tim Pawlenty sold out the people and has to pay for having done so. It is up to him to prove that he won't sell out now. We have a dozen people who did not surrender and who have expressed an interest in running for President.
Tim Pawlenty has to dig his way out of that hole before he can start to run and I just do not see him doing it. He just is not a serious candidate just a Democrat's shill like Mitt Romney.

If Leith Anderson, slams the opposition like Rev Wright did..
Submitted by Gary Hall on Thu, 05/26/2011 - 6:46pm.
Well, If Leith Anderson, slams the opposition like Rev Wright did.. back during the Democratic primary race in 2008, one should expect that the national MSM and the Democrat Party will play it front and center, rather than spike it as they did for Obama and the Clinton;s.
That clip where Reverend Wright is ranting as he thrusts his pelvic to and fro, suggesting that Hillary would be as Bill Clinton had been; Clinton f---ed the black community just as he did done Monica Lewinski. Wright didn't just hate America - he hated the Clinton's too.
- Rev. Wright: Hillary is married to Bill and Bill have been good to us? No, he ain't! Bill did us just like he did Monica Lewinsky!
Congregation: (cheers)
- Rev. Wright: He was riding dirty!
Oh, just imagine the outrage if a conservative's preacher/pastor/priest dare suggest that Obama did anything of the sort with the white community.. or the rabid support and attention one would get if they suggested that one of the Republican candidates had treated the black community the way Wright suggested that Clinton had.

The Two Are Not the Same
Submitted by Tenebrous on Thu, 05/26/2011 - 10:17pm.
The comparison is crazy. Really, some pastor preaching leftist drivel outside of the pulpit is nothing new or shocking; a church I used to attend featured the pastor preaching that kind of trash as the sermon. In any case, it's nothing like Wright's profane, hate-America tirades. To say that it is just makes the person comparing them look stupid, or perhaps, reveals his stupidity.
Oh, and the NAE has been pushing the global warming lie for a few years now. It's an open secret in evangelical circles and it's one of the reasons why I gave up my membership. They talk all about like they're doing the Lord's work, but the upper echelons get together and push trendy leftism. The NAE is dead to me, and a lot of other Christians feel the same way. They don't have the punch they used to.

"Tim Pawlenty may have his very own pastor problem."
No problem: all Tim has to say to make this problem go away is that he never heard his preacher say anything like that in the 10 (or was it 20?) years he attended that church every Sunday. Even the stuff that was available for sale on CD.
Really, I can see only smooth sailing for Tim on this: it has already been established to be be a perfectly acceptable explanation by nearly every major media outlet in the US.

It didn't seem to hurt his chances when he won the GOP nomination for Governor. Nor did it hurt his chances in the Gubernatorial election here is Minnesota. This is nothing more than a "Tempest in a Teapot," "red meat" for those Republicans who already oppose Pawlenty.

By Brian Messenger
---- — METHUEN — A majority of city councilors say they will look to trim Mayor Stephen Zanni's $145.3 million budget proposal before voting tonight on a spending plan for the fiscal year that begins Monday.
Zanni's budget proposal represents a 5 percent or $6.5 million increase from the current budget. Under the mayor's plan, the average single-family homeowner in the city would likely pay around $100 more in property taxes next year.
One plan for budget cuts now being considered by the Methuen Finance Committee would save $249,758 by targeting five municipal positions. The committee — which is comprised of councilors Jamie Atkinson, Lisa Ferry and Joyce Campagnone — is expected to make a budget recommendation to the full council tonight.
"There are definitely going to be some cuts," said Atkinson, Finance Committee chairman. "We're looking at areas that haven't been in use for a little while. We're looking at positions that haven't been filled."
According to a June 19 report, the Finance Committee is looking to save $62,636 by budgeting just $1 for the position of assistant local inspector. By funding the position at $1, the job would not be eliminated from the budget and the mayor would still have the ability to transfer funds from elsewhere to fund it.
The same $1 strategy could be used for a vacant network administrator job in the Information Technology department, which pays $75,655. The Finance Committee may also look to fund at $1 either the assistant civil engineer or chief civil engineer positions. Currently, the assistant is performing the duties of the chief engineer position, which is vacant.
The committee is also considering a $20,000 reduction in the salary budgeted for the vacant city solicitor position, and may look to save $28,357 by reducing the full-time public health nurse to 20 hours per week, according to the June 19 report.
Ferry said the committee is only looking to make minor changes to the mayor's budget proposal.
"There will not be radical changes, not from where I stand on the Finance Committee," said Ferry. "We are proposing some minor cuts, but it's not going to be a rewrite of the entire budget."
Campagnone said she'd like to see the $100 average tax hike go down while also protecting city services.
"I'd like to see some changes," said Campagnone. "Maybe we can come up with some cuts that will be adequate to save the taxpayers money without impacting the services. ... I just think we have to do some brainstorming."
At least two councilors won't be voting in favor of Zanni's budget. During the 2011 election, Jeanne Pappalardo and Ron Marsan each made a pledge against raising property taxes. It's a promise both said they intend to keep tonight.
"Everybody knows the pledge I took and I stand by my word," said Marsan. "The mayor knows my position. I think he should level-fund the budget completely. I think that's what the taxpayers deserve."
"I told Zanni two weeks ago I wasn't voting for his budget," added Pappalardo.
Zanni has said his budget proposal calls for no layoffs or program cuts. Included in the budget is $1.8 million in municipal employee raises, which the mayor negotiated and the City Council approved last year.
During the current budget year, Zanni's first as mayor, the average single-family homeowner in Methuen was forced to pay $163 more in property taxes. As a result, the average annual tax bill for single-family homeowners rose to $3,666.
The average commercial tax bill in Methuen is $9,326. Business owners on average paid a year-on-year tax increase of $365.
City Auditor Thomas Kelly said yesterday that he is still "targeting" an average single-family homeowner tax increase of $100. But Kelly said he is also still waiting on finalized numbers for state aid and new real estate growth.
"It's difficult," said Kelly. "Those are big factors."

No parent is comfortable when a child is under the weather.
But thanks to the Rockers Program at Trinity Health, a child's hospital stay is about to feel a little more like home.
A collaborative effort allowed Trinity Hospital to set up six rocking chairs for the nursery and pediatric units.
Trinity had a volunteer recruitment kick-off this week.
Many of the 23 volunteers that have signed up are retired nursing staff or new nursing students exporting the pediatric field.
Volunteers will have a full day of training to feel comfortable soothing hospitalized infants and young children by rocking them.
(Jamie Hammer, Nurse Manager of NICU & Pediatrics) "Research has shown that by doing a rocker, cuddler program they'll reach their social milestones sooner. It's a shorter hospital stay, there's a lot of good qualities that come out of this program so we're excited to get it going."
To volunteer in the Rocker Program or any of the more than 500 volunteer positions at Trinity, fill out an application at TrinityHealth.org
The rocking chairs were provided by Trinity Auxiliary and I. Keating Furniture World.

Patients with smoldering multiple myeloma have no symptoms but are at risk of having their disease progress to symptomatic multiple myeloma. In this study, researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of an investigational drug called siltuximab to see if it can prevent or delay the progression of the disease to symptomatic multiple myeloma.
Siltuximab is a monoclonal antibody that inhibits interleukin-6, a protein which is normally produced in the body but which, at high levels, can cause myeloma cells to grow and cause symptomatic multiple myeloma. It is given intravenously.
To be eligible for this study, patients must meet several criteria, including but not limited to the following:

Copps: "It's Time To Discuss FM Chips in Cell Phones."
The recent rash of natural disasters highlighted two very important items. The first; Radio stations become the eyes and ears of a community. Through their terrestrial signals local broadcasters stay on the air for many hours giving updates, talking to emergency personnel and provide an outlet for listeners to search for loved ones, report on their own community or just vent. It's business as usual for broadcasters. The second; power goes out, people get stranded and the lines of communication get fuzzy, overloaded and, at times, fail.
Yesterday at a workshop addressing network reliability FCC Commissioner Michael Copps said something the NAB and Emmis CEO Jeff Smulyan have been saying for a very long time. He said it's time to look into putting FM chips in cell phones. "We share a duty to think creatively about how we can arm consumers with additional ways to communicate during disasters. While it may be somewhat beyond the scope of today's meeting, I'd raise just one example. I think the time is here for a thorough, calm and reasoned discussion about FM chips in handsets. We all acknowledge the need for redundancy in communicationsespecially emergency communicationsand last week, during the earthquake, a lot of folks were only able to get information through radio broadcasts when the phone networks got congested. What are the pros and cons of an FM chip? To what extent have other countries had experience with this? There will be a lot of questions to answer, but with the stakes so high, we should be open to discussing any and all reasonable ideas. And we must understand the sense of urgency that this requires, given the passing of a decade between 9/11 and now. Public safety has waited too long. Citizens have waited too long."
Emmis CEO Jeff Smulyan who has been a big proponent of the FM Chip idea was very pleased. "For those of us who have studied this issue for so long, it is clear that in an emergency, radio is the ONLY way to alert the public. Cell systems go down, cable systems and power go out, and even when the cellular system stays up, an emergency guarantees the system will be jammed. Radios in cell phones are ubiquitous all over the world, only in the United States have FM chips been blocked or deactivated. Today, many, if not almost all smart phones sold in the US have FM chips that have been turned OFF by the carriers. It's time to turn those chips on!"
It was also music to the ears of the NAB. "NAB welcomes Commissioner Copps's timely call for a discussion on the merits of radio-enabled smartphones. With the 9/11 anniversary looming, it's notable that broadcasting remains the unchallenged leader in delivering emergency information to the masses faster and more reliably than any other communications platform. While cellphone signals jammed and power was down during Hurricane Irene and the recent East Coast earthquake, it was the robust 'one-to-many' transmission architecture of local broadcasting that kept listeners and viewers in touch and informed. Radio chips in cellphones require no additional spectrum and could be activated immediately in many devices. From a public safety perspective alone, it's time to give citizens access to lifeline information provided by America's hometown radio stations."

Our home recently suffered power outage and all of a sudden we were completely detached from the rest of the world. FM chips on my mobile phone would have been helpful as I was in the dark. More choice the better for the listeners/consumers.

I would love the FM Chip. Local and world news updates are available upon the hour, every hour on public radio. It's more effecient than streaming online all the time. If only there were one little button on the outer shell of the phone that would connect me immediately to the local radio station. The less streaming and/or buttons I have to do, the better. Cell phone + one button + radio = rational and ideal.

Having been through more disasters than I can count the FM radio has been the first place I go for more info. Yes apps are good for some things however they don't reach everyone. September ll disaster was the hardest to get info on because NYC lost most of their broadcast towers so they lost the terrestrial coverage. As well as putting FM on cell phones, FCC needs to mandate that ALL FM and AM stations have at least 2 people at broadcast facilities at all times to pre-emt broadcasts.

I have FM on my MP3 player, never use it. Not one of the FM stations in my area even break programming for weather incidents. What would really be good? Put an NWS All Hazards radio chip into the phone. Then you are guaranteed the information you need for personal safety!
