Juror Tweets in $12.6M Case Teach Lawyer a Lesson: Ask About Web Use
Posted Apr 8, 2009 6:20 PM CDT
By Martha Neil
"Juror Johnathan" may have been a bit of a twit, as the N.Y. Daily News said in a headline, for posting tweets on Twitter.com while awarding a $12.6 million verdict in an Arkansas case.
But his real-time brief posts to the Internet social networking site about his work as a juror don't require a mistrial, a judge in the Washington County Circuit Court case decided Friday, the Associated Press reported.
Upholding the late February verdict in a case brought by investors against Russell Wright and his Stoam Holdings building materials company, Judge Mark Lindsay said the tweets by Johtnathan Powell, 29, were in bad taste but didn't rise to the level of improper conduct, according to the news agency.
Although his client's verdict stands, attorney Greg Brown, who represented one of the plaintiff investors, says he has learned an important lesson from the case, the AP recounts. In the future, Brown says, he will ask potential jurors about cell phone and Internet use.
Powell, for his part, says the judge's ruling vindicates his conduct. "He said I didn't break any of the jury instructions, and that's kind of what I've been telling everybody all along," he told the AP on Friday.
Powell, who made his most inflammatory posts after the jury had already reached its verdict, made the at-trial Twitter posts during breaks. At that point, he focused primarily on his understandable excitement about serving as a juror, the judge found, rather than the case itself, reports the Northwest Arkansas Times.
"The courts are just going to have to catch up with the technology," Powell tells the newspaper.

A former University of Alabama football player is facing charges after being arrested on Sunday. Alabama running back Dee Hart was charged with one count of giving false information and second degree possession of marijuana.
According to the Tuscaloosa Police Department, officers responded on Sunday night to the Texaco gas station on Greensboro Avenue around 5:50 p.m. The cashier told officers a customer had given him counterfeit money.
The customer, later identified as Demetrius Damar Hart, was still in the store and officers approached him about the possibility of the money being counterfeit. According to Tuscaloosa police, Hart was taken into custody at the store for giving a false name.
Hart was transported to the Tuscaloosa Police Department for processing. Officers say they smelled a strong odor of marijuana when they opened the door to let Hart out of the patrol car.
A bag containing 8 grams of marijuana was found near Hart's feet. Tuscaloosa PD says the car had been searched before Hart was placed in the vehicle, per Tuscaloosa PD policy.
Hart was booked into the Tuscaloosa County Jail on a $1,300 bond.
A University of Alabama sports spokesperson confirmed that Dee Hart has not been a part of the UA football team since after the Sugar Bowl game.

A Rogers Park man is accused of shaking and assaulting his pregnant live-in girlfriend because he was hungry and wanted her to come home.
Lucas Campuzano, 22, of the 1600 block of W. Sherwin, was arrested Saturday and charged with domestic battery and assault, court records show. Cook County Judge Adam Bourgeois Jr. set his bail at $50,000.
Campuzano's alleged victim, who is nine months pregnant, told police he grabbed her aggressively in the 7200 block of N. Ashland and shook her multiple times trying to get her to come home, according to court records.
She also said he pulled her closer and, using a closed fist, wedged his hand into her pregnant stomach. She said he used a lot of pressure and caused a lot of pain while threatening to injure their unborn child if she didn't go with him.

YORBA LINDA - Bishop Amat goalkeeper Evelyn Fierros learned just a few minutes before kick-off she was being replaced in the semifinals by Ruby Nichols after giving up three goals in the second round and quarterfinals of the CIF-SS Division 3 playoffs, both 4-3 victories.
Fierros cheered on her team, but the disappointment was evident on her face.
But after Bishop Amat thoroughly dominated top-seeded Yorba Linda during Tuesday's division semifinal but had nothing to show for it, Lancers coach Ruben Gonzalez brought in Fierros for the penalty shootout after a 0-0 regulation and two scoreless overtimes.
It turned out to be a brilliant move. Fierros came up a with a big, opening save in the shootout and was an intimidating presence the rest of the way in allowing Bishop Amat to pull out a 5-4 victory on penalty kicks to advance to its third consecutive championship game.
Bishop Amat (18-4-5) will shoot for its second championship in three years against Pasadena Poly on either Friday or Saturday.
"We've been practicing since before the playoffs, so we know our strengths and we know Evelyn moves around well when it comes to PKs," Gonzalez said.
"We decided to make the switch."
Fierros first denied Yorba Linda's Kristin Kleinow, then danced on the line and watched the Mustangs' next shooter, Marissa Rivas, hit the crossbar, giving Amat a 2-1 lead after three rounds.
After Amat's Cassandra Reyes missed on the Lancers' fourth attempt it suddenly was 2-2.
But Amat was clutch the rest of the way. Katy Zamora and Demi Lomeli each made penalty kicks to keep Amat alive and, after Yorba Linda missed, seldom-used sophomore Denise Rodriguez stepped up and fired home the game-winner to give Amat the victory.
And fittingly enough, the person everyone piled on top of in the end was Fierros, who set the tone from the outset.
"I knew I owed my team a big one. The last game wasn't the best game of my my life, I made some mistakes," Fierros said. "But I knew coming into PKs that I love PKs. They're my thing and I knew I had to come in confident and be clutch for my team."
It was a well-deserved victory, considering Bishop Amat controlled the action for most of the game and had many more scoring opportunities.
"They had a great keeper, she made some great plays," Gonzalez said. "We talked about shutting it down in the back and we were hoping we could get a goal and win the game, but unfortunately it didn't happen for us and we had to win in penalty kicks."
Amat's defense was particularly impressive after allowing six goals combined in the two previous games.
Central defender Kelly Velasquez played a big part in Tuesday's win. If anyone got by the first line of defense, Velasquez was there to sweep up the mess.
And that also meant shutting down Yorba Linda's dangerous and slippery forward Ashlee Webb.
"They didn't have many opportunities and we had to shut (Webb) down," Velasquez said. "We knew she was a good player, I give her props.
"We knew if we shut her down, they would have to rely on someone else to beat us."

LANSING, Mich. (AP) - State officials say this year's sturgeon harvest on Black Lake in northern Michigan ended almost as soon as it began.
The Department of Natural Resources says it took less than 90 minutes Feb. 1 for anglers to fill the quota of six sturgeon, using spears or hooks and lines. The season had been scheduled to run for five days if it took that long to reach the limit.
There were 228 registered anglers on the frozen Cheboygan County lake suface. DNR fisheries biologist Tim Cwalinski says the fish had been on the move, giving fishermen a better chance to see them.
The largest caught fish was a female that weighed 90 pounds and measured 66 inches.
Cannons and sirens were sounded when the quota was reached to avoid overharvesting.

Schoolchildren rock out with Professor Green and Conor Maynard at Rock Assembly 2014
Updated 10:26am Tuesday 15th July 2014 in News By Natalie O'Neill
Pop stars Professor Green and Conor Maynard had schoolchildren jumping out of their seats and rocking out at an end of term gig today.
Ten-thousand excited pupils were treated to performances from their favourite acts at this year's Rock Assembly, which was organised by education charity The Transformation Trust.
Rock Assembly host, Radio 1 DJ Nihal, gave a shout out to all the schools which had been invited to rock out at Wembley Arena after signing up to the BT Digital Champions programme.
The programme encourages young people to share their digital skills with family members, friends or elderly members of their community.
Pupils took part in one-on-one sessions teaching the basics including how to switch a computer on, how to connect to the internet, how to find a website and how to send an email.
And as a thank you for all the pupils' massive support, The Transformation Trust put on the Rock Assembly as a special end of term celebration.
Among the crowd was Harrow's Sacred Heart Language College who were getting into the party spirit dancing and singing along to performances from Ella Eyre, Misha B and Kiss FM's Dixon Brothers.

Jimmie Johnson cruises to 2nd Daytona 500 win on day Danica Patrick becomes 1st woman to lead
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) -- Jimmie Johnson has won his second Daytona 500, racing past defending NASCAR champion Brad Keselowski on the final restart, while Danica Patrick finished eighth.
Johnson wasn't challenged over the final six laps Sunday, adding another 500 title to go with his 2006 victory.
This time crew chief Chad Knaus can enjoy it -- he was suspended by NASCAR for the first victory.
Dale Earnhardt Jr. made a late move to finish second, but didn't challenge his Hendrick Motorsports teammate for the victory. Mark Martin was third.
Patrick was third on the final lap, but faded in the flurry of late action. She became the first woman in history to lead laps in the Daytona 500, though, with her three laps out front.
Governors, lawmakers, Cabinet officials condemn budget cuts, spread blame as deadline nears
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The automatic budget cuts set to take hold this week were roundly condemned Sunday as governors, lawmakers and administration officials hoped for a deal to stave off the $85 billion reduction in government services.
But as leaders rushed past each other to decry the potentially devastating cuts, they also criticized their counterparts for their roles in introducing, implementing and obstructing the budget mechanism that could affect everything from commercial flights to classrooms to meat inspections. The GOP's leading line of criticism hinged on blaming Obama's aides for introducing the budget trigger in the first place, while the administration's allies were determined to illustrate the consequences of the cuts as the product of Republican stubbornness.
Former Republican National Committee chairman Haley Barbour, aware the political outcome may be predicated on who is to blame, half-jokingly said Sunday: "Well, if it was a bad idea, it was the president's idea."
Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., said there was little hope to dodge the cuts "unless the Republicans are willing to compromise and do a balanced approach."
No so fast, Republicans interjected.
Syrian rebels attempt to storm government complex, police academy near northern city of Aleppo
BEIRUT (AP) -- Rebels backed by captured tanks launched a fresh offensive on a government complex housing a police academy near the northern city of Aleppo on Sunday, while the government hit back with airstrikes to try to protect the strategic installation, activists said.
If rebels capture the complex on the outskirts of Aleppo, it would mark another setback for President Bashar Assad. In recent weeks, his regime has lost control of key infrastructure in the northeast including a hydroelectric dam, a major oil field and two army bases along the road linking Aleppo with the airport to its east.
Rebels also have been hitting the heart of Damascus with occasional mortars shells or bombings, posing a stiff challenge to the regime in its seat of power.
On Saturday, opposition fighters in the eastern province of Deir el-Zour overran a military post believed to have once been the site of a partly built nuclear reactor that Israeli warplanes bombed in 2007.
A year after the strike, the U.N. nuclear watchdog determined that the destroyed building's size and structure fit specifications of a nuclear reactor. Syria never stated the purpose of the site known as Al-Kibar.
Death of Palestinian in Israeli custody stokes West Bank protests, fears of a third uprising
RAMALLAH, West Bank (AP) -- The mysterious death of a 30-year-old Palestinian gas station attendant in Israeli custody stoked new West Bank clashes Sunday, along with Israeli fears of a third Palestinian uprising.
A senior Palestinian official alleged that Arafat Jaradat was tortured by Israel's Shin Bet security service, citing an autopsy he said revealed bruising and two broken ribs.
Israel's Health Ministry said the autopsy did not conclusively determine the cause of death, but that the bruising and broken ribs were likely the result of attempts to revive the detainee.
Jaradat's death came at a time of rising West Bank tensions, including several days of Palestinian marches in support of four hunger-striking prisoners in Israeli lockups. In all, Israel holds nearly 4,600 Palestinians, including dozens who have never been formally charged or tried.
Frozen Israeli-Palestinian peace talks, the recent re-election of Israeli hard-line Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, a Palestinian cash crisis and the Palestinians' sense of being abandoned by the Arab world seem to have created fertile ground for a third Palestinian revolt.
Oscars set to roll with clear favorites, wild-card MacFarlane, Broadway-style theatrics
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Some firsts and other rarities are possible at Sunday night's Academy Awards. But if the Oscars could be just a little less predictable, the show might really be one for the record books.
Ben Affleck's "Argo" looks like it will uniquely claim best picture without a directing nomination, while "Lincoln" filmmaker Steven Spielberg and star Daniel Day-Lewis are favored to join exclusive lists of three-time Oscar winners.
If some longshots came in, the night could produce two more three-time acting winners -- Sally Field from "Lincoln" and Robert De Niro for "Silver Linings Playbook."
We could also have the oldest or youngest acting winner ever -- 86-year-old "Amour" star Emmanuelle Riva and 9-year-old Quvenzhane (Kwa-VEHN-ja-nay) Wallis of "Beasts of the Southern Wild."
The ABC television broadcast itself could set some fresh highs or lows. Oscar overseers keep talking about pacing and trimming fat from a ceremony that's dragged on interminably, approaching four and a half hours one year. Can they keep it tight and lively enough that viewers don't think about gouging out their eyes around the three-hour mark?
AP PHOTOS: World's oldest marathon runner Fauja Singh finishes his last race at age 101
With a saffron turban and a flowing white beard, 101-year-old Fauja Singh finished a 10-kilometer (6.25 mile) race in Hong Kong. Nicknamed the Turbaned Torpedo, the Indian-born runner finished the race in 1 hour, 32 minutes and 28 seconds. Singh says he will now hang up his sneakers. "I will remember this day. I will miss it," Singh said minutes after crossing the finish line.
Singh became the oldest man to run a full marathon at Toronto in 2011. Here are some photos of his final race.
Cuba parliament gathers, expected to name President Raul Castro to another 5-year term
HAVANA (AP) -- Cuba's parliament reconvened Sunday with new membership and was expected to name Raul Castro to a new five-year-term as president. All were watching whether younger politicians might be tapped for other top leadership posts, providing hints of a possible future successor.
Castro fueled speculation on Friday when he talked of his possible retirement and suggested he has plans to resign at some point. It was unclear whether the 81-year-old leader was joking, but he promised his speech Sunday would be "interesting."
If a fresh face is named as one of his top deputies, it could indicate that his administration is settling on who might carry the country forward when those who fought in the 1959 revolution can no longer do so.
Raul Castro turns 82 this year and would be 86 when a new term ends. His top two lieutenants are also in their 80s.
"This National Assembly is important because it formally is going to govern the fate of the country for the next five years, which will be decisive for changing personnel -- what I call the intergenerational transition," said Arturo Lopez-Levy, a Cuban economist and analyst who lectures at the University of Denver. "The intergenerational transition cannot be put off any longer."
Pope Benedict XVI's last Sunday blessing from window on St. Peter's Square draws large crowds
VATICAN CITY (AP) -- Pope Benedict XVI bestowed his final Sunday blessing of his pontificate on a cheering crowd in St. Peter's Square, explaining that his waning years and energy made him better suited to the life of private prayer he soon will spend in a secluded monastery than as leader of the Roman Catholic Church.
On Thursday evening, the 85-year-old German-born theologian will become the first pope to have resigned from the papacy in 600 years.
Sunday's noon appearance from his studio window overlooking the vast square was his next-to-last appointment with the public of his nearly eight-year papacy. Tens of thousands of faithful and other admirers have already asked the Vatican for a seat in the square for his last general audience Wednesday.
Perhaps emotionally buoyed by the warm welcome, thunderous applause and the many banners reading "Grazie" (Thanks) held up in the crowd estimated by police to number 100,000, Benedict looked relaxed and sounded energized, in sharp contrast to his apparent frailty and weariness of recent months.
In a strong and clear voice, Benedict told the pilgrims, tourists and Romans in the square that God had called him to dedicate himself "even more to prayer and meditation," which he will do in a monastery being renovated for him on the grounds behind Vatican City's ancient walls.
US moves to salvage Syrian opposition talks during Kerry's first trip as secretary of state
LONDON (AP) -- The U.S. is frantically trying to salvage a Syrian opposition conference that John Kerry plans to attend this week during his first official overseas trip as U.S. secretary of state.
A senior Obama administration official said Sunday that Kerry has sent his top Syrian envoy to Cairo in hopes of convincing opposition leaders that their participation in the conference in Rome is critical to addressing questions from potential donors and securing additional aid from the United States and Europe.
Some members of the sharply divided Syrian Opposition Council are threatening to boycott Wednesday's meeting, which is the centerpiece of Kerry's nine-nation tour of Europe and the Middle East.
According to the official, U.S. envoy Robert Ford will say that the conference is a chance for foes of Syrian President Bashar Assad to make their case for new and enhanced aid -- and get to know America's new chief diplomat, who has said he wants to propose new ideas to pressure Assad into leave power.
The official was not authorized to discuss sensitive diplomatic matters publicly and spoke only on condition of anonymity.
Brother of Oscar Pistorius faces serious charge in 2008 traffic accident death
JOHANNESBURG (AP) -- The murder case involving Olympic star Oscar Pistorius took another unexpected turn Sunday with the news that his older brother, Carl, is himself facing charges for the death of a woman in a traffic accident.
Carl Pistorius faces a charge of unlawful, negligent killing for a 2008 road death, "in which a woman motorcyclist sadly lost her life," Kenneth Oldwage, the Pistorius family lawyer said on Sunday. The accident happened in Vanderbijlpark, south of Johannesburg. The charge of "culpable homicide" was dropped and then reinstated and will be challenged in court, the lawyer told The Associated Press.
It is the second time someone associated with the Pistorius case has been found to face a serious charge that has been dropped and then reinstated. It was revealed that the chief police investigator in the case is facing charges of seven counts of attempted murder for shooting at a vehicle with seven passengers. Following the revelations, Hilton Botha was removed from the Pistorius investigation and a new chief detective was appointed on Thursday.
To drop and then reinstate charges is "not uncommon in South African criminal law. The law specifically makes provision to allow charges to be dropped and then to be reinstated as a result of further investigations," said Jacob van Garderen, director of Lawyers for Human Rights. "It is a practical procedure, a process that is there to assist both sides."
In another twist this weekend, model Reeva Steenkamp, who was shot to death by Oscar Pistorius on Valentine's Day was on television again in a new episode of the reality show "Tropika Island of Treasure 5" even though she was buried last Tuesday.

Mulling Arena Pharma's Future With Obesity Drug on Approval Path
The biggest concern expressed by the experts on Thursday's FDA panel was the risk that long-term use of lorcaserin could cause heart-valve damage, or valvulopathy. Arena presented data Thursday showing, mechanistically, lorcaserin doesn't hit receptors that cause heart valve problems; and FDA concurred.
Experts on the panel were less convinced, particularly since the clinical data collected to date on lorcaserin could not rule out an increased risk of valvulopathy. Importantly, none of the panel experts, including the cardiologists, demanded that Arena be required to rule out a lorcaserin-valvulopathy link prior to the drug being approved.
Dr. Bill Hiatt, a cardiologist from the University of Colorado School of Medicine, was notable during panel deliberations advocating strongly for the conduct of a post approval cardiovascular outcomes trial of lorcaserin. Hiatt's argument seemed to blunt a more cautious stance taken by Dr. Sanjay Kaul of Cedar-Sinai Heart Institute, who voted against lorcaserin although eventually conceding, too, that a post-approval heart safety study was appropriate.
Setting parameters for a lorcaserin post-approval safety study could be another item that delays the drug's approval. [Vivus will be running a similar study.] So too, might negotiations over whether or not patients treated with lorcaserin should receive echocardiograms in order to more closely monitor any risk of heart valve damage. Many of the panel's experts supported echocardiograms for patients, some more frequently than others.Echocardiograms, if required, do have the potential to be an impediment to lorcaserin's commercial uptake. Arena did an excellent job Thursday presenting data showing that tumors in rats, particularly mammary tumors, caused by lorcaserin were not relevant to humans and therefore caused no potential safety concern once the drug is approved. The FDA largely agreed with Arena's conclusions. Panel members were somewhat less convinced, although again, not enough to warrant a negative vote that would keep lorcaserin from being approved. This was the biggest reversal from the September 2010 FDA advisory panel in which the lorcaserin-rat tumor concerns were chiefly responsible for the vote against approval. It is interesting to note, however, that FDA invited four panel members with toxicology and animal pathology expertise to review lorcaserin this time around. Two of these experts voted against lorcaserin on Thursday and a third, Dr. Ernest McConnell, the veterinary pathologist, was the lone abstention. Arena shares have performed very well since Thursday's positive panel vote, but keep in mind that with expectations for lorcaserin's approval baked in and investors thinking about the drug's peak sales potential, the company's market valuation starts to matter. In this regard, note that Arena has approximately 220 million shares outstanding when you include warrants from completed financings that are currently in the money. At Friday's close of $6.36, Arena's market cap was north of $1.4 billion already. Remember, too, that Arena shares lorcaserin sales and profits with Eisai. Vivus owns Qnexa outright and as of Friday, sported a market value of $2.5 billion. Assuming FDA approves both lorcaserin and Qnexa within weeks or months of each other, it will be fun to watch which drug doctors turn to first and which garners higher sales. Each drug has its advantages and disadvantages -- lorcaserin's efficacy is marginal but may be more tolerable and easier for doctors to prescribe. Qnexa helps patients lose more weight but side effects and restricted access to drug could be an impediment. Two things we sort of know: Obese patients have a hard time remaining compliant with medications and weight lost is easily regained. That likely means whichever drug is tried first -- lorcaserin or Qnexa -- the other is likely to be used in quick succession once the first stops working. You've heard of yo-yo diets, well, the approval of two weight-loss drugs will likely lead to yo-yo prescriptions. One more thing we know: No obesity drug has ever generated more than $1 billion in annual sales. It remains to be seen if Arena or Vivus can break that mark. --Written by Adam Feuerstein in Boston.

A - Murky apricot, white head slow to leave... lots of cling.
S - Spicy, somewhat malty.
T - Yep. Spice. Coriander, mulling to a degree, a little citrus and malt.
M - Medium body, good carb, a little overly spicy at end.
D - Fun to try. One is enough per session.

Pours out a heavier golden color with plenty of haze and a nice white head on it. Aroma was largely dry and neutral.
Taste is dry as well, a slight bitterness to it, not much if anything in the way of sourness. A tiny spicy finish to it. Coriander and mild lemon citrus flavor. Hid the alcohol nicely. one of the better beers I've had from these guys, their other 1 door down was terrible.
A slight bump for being relatively cheap given its almost de facto Bevmo contract brew status.

Standard bomber poured into a large wine glass. Shows a hazed golden in color with a half inch of pourous white foam. Decent retention and some artsy lacing follow.
Yeast notes dominate the nose with a bit of citric spice coming in to play with some warming. Nice and interestingly similar to a classic Saison Dupont in aroma. Touch of funky yeast ebbs and flows.
Flavor isn't quite as sophisticated however. Pale malt dominates with a bit of lemon bread, and with a fairly course texture initially, thinning a bit as the carbonation reduces. Somewhat sweet and simple in flavor overall and with a moderate finish. Spice and fruit notes don't convey that well from the aroma to the flavor leaving a bit of a void. Decent nonetheless and priced attractively at $3.69 at BevMo.
Edit 03/01/2012 Pour is solid and offers a resilient cap. Nose is, well odd of sour yeast and bubblegum with a touch of fruit. Dropped from 4.0 to 2.5.
Flavor adds a sweet and citrusy component and the coarse texture is gone. Obviously a different beer, and not in a good way.

Served in a Pyramid Breweries pint glass.
A: Slightly hazy straw color.
S: Very floral. Pilsner malt emanates.
T: Mild taste despite the considerable amount of alcohol and a refreshing finish.
M: Unimpressive light fizzy feel.
O: Strong but drinkable and very unique.
An interesting rendition of a Belgian farmer's ale.
I would drink this beer again.

Chill hazed gold colored ale with a tall white colored head.
Smells spicy with a little coriander and what I detect as ginseng. No real hop aroma but there is a honeysuckle malt aroma.
Starts off sweet with a taste of flowers and Belgian Candi Sugar. Mildly soapy taste it tastes pretty much like flowery candy.
Mouthfeel is OK.
Overall it is OK, but I would spend my money on the Hennepin.

It's Hermitage night here for me, apparently. Nothing of theirs has ever really blown me away, but neither have I ever been really offended. Can they keep the streak going.
Pours a very clear and very light bodied pale golden. Exceptionally light for the ABV, and exceptionally clear for the style. Head is full enough—a solid fine mesh on the top of the glass. Lacing is good, falling in sheets down the glass. There's some serious things wrong with it, but it looks ok, as a beer in general.
Nose is skunky, funky and rank. Big whiffy aroma of semi-curdled cheese, rubber, ass, seaweed mixed with a predominantly sweet, and rather adjuncty base. It's raw and rustic and definitely pongy, but this is offensive to all the Saisons that do it right.
Taste is even more cheese-like, with a big spicy cheddar bite on the front palate, and a peppered aftertaste that drops out lazily about halfway along the palate. Absolutely nothing on the finish, again suggestion some adjunct. It's extremely savoury, almost like eating cheese and water crackers, and it's not terribly appealing.
Probably the only impressive thing about this beer is the fact that despite the lightness of body and flavour, you can't really taste or feel the 7% ABV (again, probably a touch too high for a saison anyway). But apart from that, this has very little going for it. If anything, instead of accentuating what a good job good saison-brewers do, this one drags them down with it.

Bomber poured into a large tumbler, "1 door" (the label shows a blue door, but only says "saison style ale") is a hazy dull gold with a pretty large white head that leaves nice lace.
Smell is skunky, earthy, some minerality, pepper. Saison for sure.
Taste is also also distinctly within my expectations for the style, if not my ideal, as it's on the earthy, funky side, a fairly herbal bite to it, a bit metallic, iron, as well. Rather spicy, tempered by sweet cereals, the fruit coming out as it warms.
Mouthfeel is dry, some creaminess, and an appropriately light body.
Drinkability is good, as a whole it's greater then the individual components. This is a well done saison. It's strongly on the earthy/spicy side of the saison spectrum, and while I prefer a fruitier saison, it's a matter of taste, not execution. And it's still good, and an impressive stateside example of my favorite style, especially for the price, IIRC $3.50 @ bevmo. Put this in 6 packs and you've got a great summer brew, with the ABV well hidden, and can be lots of fun and lots of trouble.

A careful pour into my large Tripel Karmeliet tulip produces a fat-two-finger thick, pale-tan, off-white colored head. The beer is a hazy, honey color that shows, more of the same (definitely hazy), but with copper notes to it when held up to the light. The aroma smells of a mix of pale malt and fruit, with noticeable components of cracker like grain, hints of biscuit-like malt, sweeter honey like grain notes as well as some touches of pear, perhaps melon, or soft cider notes, though the fruit character is perhaps more non-descript than anything. There is perhaps a wisp of metallic character to this, as well as a touch of herbal character and lemon zest that speaks to some light hopping here. Touches of musty, earthy spiciness suggest at the yeast character. The malt character is perhaps the most dominant part of the aroma, though the other notes are not so far behind.
Prickly carbonation, and a lighter body than I was expecting help to make this fairly refreshing; it is a bit on the cold side, which also makes it seem lighter than it actually is, but this is right in the sweet spot for a Saison. In the long finish you can tell there is some viscousness to the body, though this is certainly a drinkable beer for its 7%. The finish has some characteristic phenolics that hint oat plastic notes as well as a touch of firmness provided by a hop bitterness. The firm hop bitterness is actually found from beginning to end of each sip; up front it is accentuated by the peppery carbonation. There is quite a bit of integrated spiciness to this beer, from the peppery notes that linger throughout, through to the clove and plastic phenolics in the finish and with the earthy spiciness that adds a huge anchor to the flavor profile. The fruit character plays a supporting role in the flavor, but accentuates notes of pear and perhaps a hint of green apple. There is also a touch of floral character to this beer that adds a bit more to the complexity. As the beer warms up some fruity sweetness becomes a bit more noticeable.
This drinks a whole lot lighter than the alcohol suggests, and I am actually quite impressed that Hermitage got this part of the Saison correct, as this is so often the part that American brewers mess up (though in truth the style is open enough that chewier versions exist even in Belgium). In truth, the whole of this beer was much better than I was expecting it to be. It can perhaps be a bit too plastic like or medicinal at times, but this is par for the course with a traditional Saison yeast. It seems like a touch more, or even a lot more, hops would go really well with this Saison; as in truth, this definitely needs a bit more finesse and complexity, but this is enjoyable as is.

A - Pours an almost clear golden-orange with a finger of frothy white head. The head fades down fairly slowly leaving behind some nice lacing.
S - Aroma is a mix of wheat, Belgian yeast, coriander, and a bit of honey. There is a touch of bubblegum and some rustic funk. It smells a bit off though.
T - Starts off with some Belgian yeast, wheat, rustic farmhouse flavors, and some coriander. Through the middle, some lemon zest comes through with a bit of herbal and floral flavors. The finish is a mix of lemon zest, Belgian yeast, funk, honey, wheat, and a bit of spice.
M - Medium-minus bodied with moderate-plus carbonation. Feels smooth with a funky and spicy finish.
D - Pretty drinkable. The balance is not quite right here and there seem to be a few off flavors going on. There is some good saison elements beneath, but are muddled.

22oz into a tulip. Pours a hazy butterscotch honey straw, minor pure white dense head receded slowly, minor lacing.
Aroma is traditional saison. Decent amount of funk surrounded by early season light skinned fruits against a quiet pepper spice background.
Yeasty taste is low in sweetness, very little tart or bitter. The finish is slightly dry and peppery. Unusual hint of leathery tobacco in the aftertaste which fades pleasantly. No aspects of the flavor standout, fairly well balanced. Medium bodied prickly mouthfeel.

The coming "Internet of Many Different Things" is not a world that is still way out in the future.
According to researchers, somewhere between 2008 and 2009 there were as many "things" connected to the Internet as the number of people on the planet – over 6 billion!
According to GSMA, by 2020 there will be 24 billion "things" connected to the Internet, of which half or 12 billion will be mobile devices.
So what's all this going to be worth? Analyst firm IDC projects that IoT technology and services spending will generate global revenues of $8.9 trillion by 2020. Indeed, with 12 billion mobile devices and 50 billion 'Things' connected via the Internet in the not-too-distant future, new technology that transcends the limitations of the current Web is critical.
Cisco, which has a big stake in infrastructure for a thriving Internet of what Cisco likes to call "Everything" estimates that the IoT will boost global output by $14.4 trillion over nine years, or a comparatively sane $1.6 trillion a year. General Electric, by contrast, goes even bigger than McKinsey, and estimates that what it calls the "Industrial Internet" will boost global GDP by $15.3 trillion in 2030.
Cisco's punditry forecasts that beyond just smartphones and tablets, that number of "Things" that connect to the Internet will only continue to scale as the growing number of connected gizmos, appliances – and even cows – are coded and cataloged to send messages to the Web.
No matter which prognostication or forecast you tend to believe, the opportunity for Internet-connected Things is indeed enormous.
My next blog will explore the factors that are holding back the Internet-connected parts of all those billions of "Things."

Hardware will never be more valuable than on the day it hits your loading dock. Each day new servers are not deployed to production the business is losing money. While Moore's Law is typically cited to explain the exponential density growth of chips, a critical consequence of this is rapid depreciation of servers. The hardware for clustered systems (e.g., Hadoop, OpenStack) tends to be significant capital expenses. In his session at 15th Cloud Expo, Mason Katz, CTO and co-founder of StackIQ, to discuss how infrastructure teams should be aware of the capitalization and depreciation model of these expenses to fully understand when and where automation is critical.

Most of today's hardware manufacturers are building servers with at least one SATA Port, but not every systems engineer utilizes them. This is considered a loss in the game of maximizing potential storage space in a fixed unit. The SATADOM Series was created by Innodisk as a high-performance, small form factor boot drive with low power consumption to be plugged into the unused SATA port on your server board as an alternative to hard drive or USB boot-up. Built for 1U systems, this powerful device is smaller than a one dollar coin, and frees up otherwise dead space on your motherboard. To meet the requirements of tomorrow's cloud hardware, Innodisk invested internal R&D resources to develop our SATA III series of products. The SATA III SATADOM boasts 500/180MBs R/W Speeds respectively, or double R/W Speed of SATA II products.

As more applications and services move "to the cloud" (public or on-premise) cloud environments are increasingly adopting and building out traditional enterprise features. This in turn is enabling and encouraging cloud adoption from enterprise users. In many ways the definition is blurring as features like continuous operation, geo-distribution or on-demand capacity become the norm. NuoDB is involved in both building enterprise software and using enterprise cloud capabilities. In his session at 15th Cloud Expo, Seth Proctor, CTO at NuoDB, Inc., will discuss the experiences from building, deploying and using enterprise services and suggest some ways to approach moving enterprise applications into a cloud model.

In the co-main event of UFC 158, top welterweight contenders Johny Hendricks and Carlos Condit left it all in the cage and engaged in an excellent war that went the distance. Condit was all over Hendricks every chance he got, catching him with huge punches, front kicks, and a plethora of knees. But he couldn't stop the takedown, and that was the difference. Hendricks got a total of 12 takedowns in 15 minutes, and while Condit was able to get up from almost every one, the judges gave the nod to Hendricks with three 29-28 scores.
The win gives Hendricks (15-1, 10-1 UFC) an ironclad case for a title shot against Georges St. Pierre, while Condit (28-7, 5-3 UFC) has now lost two bouts in a row. Each men took home an additional $50,000 for winning the fight of the night bonus.
What was the high point of the fight?
Probably a moment in the second round when Condit landed a huge flying knee that looked brutal, but Hendricks just grabbed Condit as he was going back down and slammed him to the floor. Honestly though, there were a lot of high points.
Where do they go from here?
Hendricks is going straight into a title shot against Georges St. Pierre. When it will go down will depend on the status of Hendricks' injured left hand. Dana White said that GSP's next title defense would probably come in Las Vegas, but Johny said he'd be up for Montreal without a problem.
Unless Condit is matched up with Tarec Saffiedine, it's very likely that the former WEC and interim UFC champ will be in a rematch next. Rory MacDonald is the leading candidate, but Martin Kampmann could definitely be across from him as well.
Watch now, later, or never?
Now. This is is my favorite fight of 2013 so far, and I think it will be yours as well.

Endowment Funds are those funds which ensure the future of the Foundation's programs in support of Clarion University. Endowment funds are created through provisions by the donor that the assets are to be invested. Only a small portion of each fund can be expended annually for the purpose for which the endowment was established. In addition to providing beneficial program support to the University, endowments offer the the opportunity for a donor to provide recognition or memorialize an individual or family.
The Foundation is charged with certain responsibilities for the management and investment of endowment funds. The endowment funds are managed professionally by PNC Advisors, common/fund and Janney, Montgomery, Scott, LLC. The finance committee of the Foundation's board of directors sets investment policy and monitors the fund manager's performance continuously.
As of May 7, 2009, board policy affirmed that spending be authorized at the rate of 3.5% on a three-year-rolling-average of the endowment balance each June 30. Endowment balances at June 30 would include annual earnings as well as any annual capital gains or losses. At 3.5% a three-year-average of $25,000 would generate sufficient resources to provide $875 in support of scholarships, loans, lectures, programming in the fine and performing arts or enrichment of the academic areas.
6/30/2007 Endowment Balance $25,000
6/30/2008 Endowment Balance $20,000
6/30/2009 Endowment Balance $30,000
Three-Year Average $25,000
3.5% of the three-year-average or $875 is available
in 2009/2010 to offer for scholarships, awards, etc.
to be paid in 2010/2011.
Also affirmed in the May 2009 policy is that 1% of the three-year-rolling-average endowment balance will be utilized to cover operating expenses related to managing the fund.
When available, growth and earnings in excess of the established spending rate and management fee shall be reinvested proportionally to the principal of each fund. This provision for growth of the endowment principal assures a future benefit to the university community that is intended through the establishment of endowment funds.
At the present time, endowment funds total over $18 million and comprise approximately 22% of the Foundation's assets. Interest generated by the total endowment for the coming year will provide over $720,000 in support of University programs.
While the Foundation accepts gifts of any size to an already established endowment, there is policy concerning the establishment of a new restricted or named endowment. A named endowment can be created with a gift of $25,000. Gifts may be made in cash or through other vehicles, such as securities, in-kind property, or planned gifts including bequests, trusts, annuities and insurance policies.
For additional information on how to establish a permanent endowment fund, please call us at 814-393-2572 or e-mail the Clarion University Foundation, Inc. at email@example.com.

Officials anticipate N. Phila. 'green' development project
- Written by Eric Mayes
- Published in State and Region
City and transit officials broke ground on Paseo Verde this week, a $48 million mixed use "green" development in North Philadelphia.
The project, at the corner of 9th and Berks streets, adjacent to the campus of Temple University, is being hailed as a green development because of its proximity to SEPTA's regional rail station.
The station, which is SEPTA's fourth largest, serves 8,000 people a day.
"Paseo Verde represents another step toward Philadelphia becoming America's greenest city. Once again, Philadelphia and its partners are demonstrating that affordable can be sustainable," said Mayor Michael Nutter, who, along with state Sen. Shirley Kitchen, Council President Darrell Clarke, Joe Casey, general manager of the Southeastern Transportation Authority and a host of others plunged ceremonial shovels in the dirt to officially kick-off the project.
Clarke and Nutter, who once served on Council together, put their past competitiveness behind them for the event.
"I used to sit across from the mayor in City Council, and it could get a little competitive. We always wanted to see who could get more shovels," joked Clarke. "Now, we share shovels."
To highlight the eco-friendly nature of the project, the mayor, Clarke and Casey arrived by regional rail.
"We all came by train and we were on time," Casey quipped, noting that several other dignitaries were late. "They probably drove."
Clarke too, praised the ease with which officials arrived.
"I don't do public transportation," the council president said. "But, it was wonderful."
Construction is expected wrap up in about 18 months.
The project includes 120 residential units, both market price and affordable housing. Officials said 17 units will be handicapped accessible.
In addition, Paseo Verde boasts 30,000 square feet of commercial and community space.
The fact that SEPTA is just steps away is not the only eco-friendly aspect of the project. The buildings will have blue roofs that store run-off water temporarily, green roofs that are planted with grass and trees, permeable paving, water gardens, solar panels and use recycled and renewable materials.
At the center of the project, the feature which gave the development its name, will be a series of green walkways connecting the development to Temple and a park on the west side of the tracks.
The city provided about $5.5 million to fund the project, with the remainder coming from private investors.
"This is now a place of choice," Clarke said.
Kitchen commended the developer, Asociacion Puertorriqauenos en Marcha (APM), for its work in North Philadelphia, and for linking the project to transit.
"Nobody wanted to invest," she said. "But, once urban transit started to take hold, the district came alive."
Casey said that SEPTA plans to plough $1 million into the nearby Temple station upgrading platforms, adding bike racks and other upgrades.
"APM has been working for over 40 years on building better futures for our community," said Nilda Ruiz, president of APM. "Paseo Verde is the culmination of that effort. This project will benefit our residents for generations to come.

Albemarle County is moving ahead with plans to expand an overcrowded elementary school. The nearly $5 million project will create classroom space that's far from the traditional rows of desks and walls of bookshelves.
The Albemarle County School Board has approved designs for the Agnor-Hurt Elementary School expansion. Right now, the school is 44 students over capacity. The limited room is creating a new way of learning that makes the most of the school's space.
Mia Shand sometimes lets her fifth-grade students lead the history lesson in her classroom at Agnor-Hurt.
"You're flipping the classroom. You're taking the learning away from the desk," said Shand.
Shand's classroom creates what the school calls "maker spaces" where students perform plays, engineer mechanics, and edit videos.
"You can do a lot of things. It's fun learning instead of just reading, coming into class and getting a book every day," said Keontae Hearns, a student.
"There's critical thinking going on, the communication between one another. There's a sense of no fears to take risks," said Shand.
Next door to Shand's classroom, students connect with experts around the world through the school's international portal.
"They actually have the opportunity to create and work with others, and it's become part of the natural way we run a classroom," said Michele Castner, principal at Agnor-Hurt.
Albemarle County is designing an expansion to meet the needs of maker spaces. Walls separating classrooms will go away. Grade levels will blend in the new learning pavilions.
"It will be flexible. It will be open. It will create a different dynamic that we've not had before," said Castner.
The project will add space for 132 students.
"When you have an expansion, this is a great opportunity to do that to improve the quality of spaces as well as the quantity," said Steve Koleszar, Albemarle County School Board chairman.
Construction will start the day after this school year ends in June. It will take more than a year but will finish in time for the start of school in 2015.
