Brooklyn Brewery opened their doors in 1988, and over the years they have established a reputation of creating excellent beers, including Brooklyn Lager and Brooklyn Brown Ale. To celebrate their 25th anniversary, Brooklyn Brewery has crafted an amazing beer that is a twist on an old favorite. Brooklyn Silver Anniversary Lager essentially takes the well-known and loved Brooklyn Lager and brews it to Dopplebock intensity, then re-ferments the beer in the bottle. The end result is a stunning, high-quality brew. And, since this blog is dedicated to beer and music, I decided I would enjoy this beer whilst listening to the number one song on the pop charts in March, 1988; Never Gonna Give You Up by Rick Astly.
Brooklyn Anniversary Lager is bottled in an elegant 750ml bottle with awesome artwork and reflective silver script on the label. After a quick pop of the cork, the beer pours a rich, dark amber color, with bursts of brown and red. Because this beer is bottle conditioned, it is also very hazy. The head on the beer is huge and retention and lacing are both excellent.
"We're no strangers to love," or in this case, dopplebocks, and the nose on this beer is very true to style. The first thing that hits the nose is the malt aroma which smells rather toasty There is also some sweetness in the aroma, as well as some dark fruits, like dates or figs. Yeast is prominent in the aroma, and this is surely a result of the beer being bottle conditioned. Finally, there is a nice tickle in the nostrils from the hops. I love the complexity in this beer's aroma.
As one might expect from a dopplebock, this beer is very heavy on the malt flavor. Up front, it's sweet with maybe a hint of honey, and the toasty, caramel malts are very prominent. I can taste some those dark fruits I picked up in the nose, and the yeast makes its presence know as well. On the back end, there's a nice kick from the hops, followed by a dry finish with medium alcohol warmth. This lager is very full-bodied, creamy, and exceedingly smooth. "A full commitment's what I'm thinking of; you wouldn't get this from any other" brewery. This is an amazing dopplebock, and Brooklyn's commitment to the style is evident throughout.
I was lucky enough to hit my local bottle shop just as they received their shipment of this beauty; my bottle came straight out of the case and hadn't even hit the shelf yet. If you want a great beer you'll never want to give up, and one that will definitely never let you down, go to your local bottle shop and ask for Brooklyn Silver Anniversary Lager. Trust me on this one; just like Rick Astly, I'm "never gonna tell a lie and hurt you." Cheers!

DOVER, Del. (AP) - The state Senate has approved Democratic Gov. Jack Markell's proposals to make several recession-era tax increases permanent.
The Senate passed all four bills Thursday on party-line votes, with no Republicans voting for them. The measures needed the approval of all 13 Democrats to achieve the required three-fifths majority.
The bills passed the House last week on similar party-line votes, with only one Democrat voting against them. They now go to Markell for his signature.
Republicans say the bills are premature and renege on assurances made in 2009 that the tax increases would expire after four years.
The bills keep corporate franchise, personal income, and gross receipts taxes on most businesses at higher levels than four years ago. The estate tax revived in 2009 also would be made permanent.

Reviews for Mediterranean Fettuccine
Sort By :
I'm rating this as a good recipe. It probably is better then my rating because of the ingredients I used. I didn't have fresh basil so I used dried and I used whole wheat fettuccine which the taste is certainly not the same as white pasta but it's healthier.
This was a very tasty, not too difficult meal to make. I don't care for Greek olives or sun-dried tomatoes, so I used regular black olives and cherry tomatoes (halved). I also forgot to get fresh basil, so I substituted 1 Tbsp dried basil. I added the tomatoes right at the end, so as not to make them too mushy. I loved the result and so did my guest! This will definitely become one of my regulars!!

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
A good possibly great route with fun moves and multiple cruxes. This route was done entirely from the ground and was never top-roped by Geir which makes it a proud first ascent. Geir figured out all the moves and protection by starting from the ground and climbing until he fell off. Tons of falls including a couple of 20 footers make his efforts noteworthy. Add to that the fact he has only ever done a handful of 5.12 sport routes and I have to tip my hat to him.
This route starts up Crime and Punishment and moves left at the horizontal then follows the thin crack. It stays right of the anchors for Yard Boss until you are too high to use them. The anchors for this route are above the horn you see on the skyline.

DETROIT -- Yankees catcher Russell Martin says he doesn't regret any of the postage comments he made about his interactions with umpire Laz Diaz on Wednesday, but hopes to put the issue to rest.
Martin said MLB executive vice president Joe Torre spoke to Martin to get his side of the story, and both Martin and Yankees manager Joe Girardi said the issue rests in the hands of the league.
"He just wanted to know what happened," Martin said of his conversation with Torre. "I guess he spoke to Laz and he wanted to speak to me, just to get both sides of the story. That's it."
As for what Diaz had to say, Martin said: "I don't know. I didn't ask. I didn't ask."
Martin said he doesn't want anybody to be fined.
"That day is over," Martin said. "I feel like it's already old news to me."
The Yankees catcher said after Wednesday's game against the Angels that he was "mystified" by Diaz's behavior, and that the umpire would not let Martin throw new baseballs back to the pitcher. Martin said Diaz told him it was "a privilege that I have to earn."
Diaz was not available for comment after the game.
"I know Russell was frustrated by it," Girardi said. "As players and umpires, you put things behind you and you just move on. You try to learn from everything that you go through."
Yanks know about facing MLB first-timers
DETROIT -- The Yankees' propensity for drawing pitchers making their Major League debuts added another chapter on Friday, as the club faced Detroit left-hander Casey Crosby.
It was the 15th time since 2000 that New York has faced a pitcher making his MLB debut, and third time this season (Kansas City's Will Smith and Baltimore's Wei-Yin Chen). The Yankees won both games this year.
"The challenges are you have no idea what he's gonna try to do to you," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said of facing a rookie for the first time. "You know he throws a certain velocity, but does it get on you quicker? Does his curveball? What's the break? What's his changeup?"
The Yankees went 6-8 in the previous 14 such contests, winning their last three after dropping six in a row. Entering Friday, only three left-handed starters have won their Major League debut against the Yankees over the last 30 years: Toronto's Gustavo Chacin (Sept. 20, 2004, at Yankee Stadium); Boston's Vaughn Eshelman (May 2, 1995, at Yankee Stadium) and Seattle's Matt Young (April 6, 1983, at the Kingdome).
"The thing you try to do is put some pressure on him early, because, for any player that's ever been through it the first time, there's some butterflies," Girardi said.
Gardner swings; Robertson slowed by rain
DETROIT -- Yankees manager Joe Girardi said rehabbing reliever David Robertson's scheduled bullpen session on Saturday may be moved back because of a rainout on Friday, and that outfielder Brett Gardner did well in his rehab on Friday.
Robertson is on the 15-day disabled list with a strained left oblique, while Gardner is on the DL with a right elbow injury.
"Gardy did well in his stuff today," Girardi said. "Eventually we'll get him on the field, we'll get him hitting pretty soon, then we'll get him in some games."
Girardi said Gardner took some batting practice in the cage on Friday, and the Yankees are eyeing a possible return in a week or so.
"I think it's possible we could have him next weekend, or the series after that," Girardi said.
As for Robertson, it's more likely to be about two weeks, since his timetable for recovery is not as accelerated.
"You've got to get him a [batting practice] and got to get him in some games -- more than one game -- and the problem with a reliever is you can't go three days in a row or four days in a row, like a position player," Girardi said.

Big things are happening at Universal Studios Florida in Orlando. The original movie-based theme park has been eclipsed by the addition of Islands of Adventure, five mega-themed playlands that debut this spring. Universal's City Walk just opened there as well, with a lineup of clubs and restaurants ranging from Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville to the Motown Cafe. Smack in the middle of all this is the Hard Rock Cafe, now installed in a new, larger location and flanked by Hard Rock Live, a sophisticated performance venue that soft-opened in January, and where a house band and touring acts share center stage.
"The design of the building resembles a vintage coliseum with Roman arches and columns, and rock work that is actually crumbling," says Jim Pope, project manager for Morris Architects in Orlando. He points out that the Hard Rock Cafe design is more traditional, with two copper domes (the "copper" is thanks to scenic paint) atop the private dining rooms. The two buildings are interconnected with small kitchens located between the cafe and the club, which also serves as a corporate function hall.
The exterior lighting includes dramatic uplights that accent the architectural features. The interior lobby of the theatre is complete with items from Hard Rock's collection of rock and roll memorabilia. Brick display cases (built with bricks from the original Cavern Club, where the Beatles first played in Liverpool), a brass chandelier made of saxophones, and a Harley-Davidson motorcycle behind the bar continue the theming.
"The goal for the performance space was to provide a flexible, intimate environment in which to see and hear the best rock acts in the country," says Steve Friedlander of Auerbach + Associates, theatre consultant for the project, which was brought on board to provide stage rigging and lighting systems design and to assist Morris Architects and Design Development Inc. with the design of the performance room. Auerbach came to the job via Island Systems, an Orlando-based company that has provided the audiovisual systems for many Hard Rock Cafes.
The main level of Hard Rock Live is a large flat floor that can be left open for dancing or arranged with seating in rows or at tables, while the balcony has fixed theatre seats and a special VIP section with large easy chairs and direct access to a private bar and lounge. The balcony wraps around the sides of the room to maintain the intimate feeling of the club, and forms a side tier with tables and chairs. "The club can accommodate 1,700 people in a theatre seating arrangement," Friedlander notes. "The sightlines are excellent and virtually no one is more than 100' (33m) from the stage."
The complex lighting systems were designed to meet a variety of requirements, and according to everybody involved with the project, flexibility was the operational buzzword. Other concerns were voiced by Pope. "We had some code concerns, and had to meet certain light levels," he says. "The lighting had to be powerful yet not obtrusive. We didn't want it to overpower the interior design intent, but rather enhance it and bring it to life."
To achieve all this, a team of lighting specialists worked on various aspects of the project. The circuitry and basic lighting systems were designed by Auerbach + Associates, with Friedlander (from its New York City office) as project manager. Systems integration, engineering, and installation was done by Production Arts with support from Vanco. The light plot for the house band was designed by Norm Schwab and John Featherstone of Lightswitch, and programmed by Rick Locklin and Warren Flynn, also from Lightswitch. Steve Cox, the general manager of Hard Rock Live, also played a role in this process.
By all accounts, this pentagonal collaboration was unusually successful. "This was our first job for Hard Rock, but we have done two others that started after this one and have already been completed," says Friedlander, who worked on the update of the Hard Rock Cafe in Manhattan and on another in Memphis. "Once the design for Orlando was underway, Hard Rock decided to install more sophisticated performance lighting in other venues, so they brought in the Orlando systems designers for these projects. With construction underway, close coordination between the systems contractors and the designers was essential," he says.
"The Orlando facility was a major move from a typical Hard Rock system to a professional performance system in terms of the lighting, rigging, and audio," says Friedlander. "We worked on the system design as they developed their vision for what the room would be. That vision came into focus when Steve Cox came on board as general manager. He came up with the concept for a high-end house band." In a room that serves as a roadhouse and a room for corporate functions, Auerbach's goal was to design a lighting system that would support a business luncheon, a band with a large touring rig, and everything in between.
The lighting system uses two control consoles as well as an architectural front end. A Wholehog II from Flying Pig Systems is provided for moving-light control and more complex shows, while an ETC Insight 3 provides a more theatrical front end for touring groups who may not be familiar with or have time to set up the Wholehog. An ETC Unison system handles the architectural lighting. There are more than 700 ETC Sensor dimmers divided into theatrical (including non-dim modules with chokes) and architectural racks. The system design required that each of the three control devices have the ability to drive all the dimmers in the system for maximum flexibility. This allows sophisticated cues and presets utilizing architectural lighting, fixed theatrical lights, and automated fixtures to be programmed and played back on either console and/or recorded and played back with a simple push of a button on the Unison architectural system.
Three sets of DMX data, generated simultaneously by the two consoles and the Unison system, are distributed throughout the venue and merged at the Production Arts custom control racks. Console ethernet data, which provides the capability to interface standard DMX consoles, scrollers, and fixtures as well as use new ethernet distribution systems, is also distributed throughout the space. A Gray Interfaces Pathfinder system, programmable from the front-of-house control position, provides the DMX distribution.
Production Arts collaborated closely with Auerbach + Associates to ensure that the finished product met the full intent of the design and was properly installed on-site. Besides engineering the Unison system and the various DMX interfaces, Production Arts coordinated and engineered the interface of the consoles and architectural systems with the Square-D PowerLink automated circuit breakers that control work lighting and non-dim circuits for 208V automated fixtures.
"The challenge was that any of the control consoles needs to address any of the lights in the space from the lobby to the stage," says Ben Saltzman, project manager for Production Arts. "We designed a custom control network with devices from AMX, Gray Interfaces, and Production Arts custom control modules to route all the data in a way that makes the network work."
"The rigging is an installed version of what rock bands usually travel with," says Friedlander, pointing out that the stage rigging uses Columbus McKinnon Lodestar motors and Tomcat truss, with 32 chain hoist points divided into smaller control groups of eight each. The chain motors and their control system (with custom software) were installed by Secoa, of Champlin, MN. The final look for the stage rigging was the providence of Lightswitch as part of their design of the plot for the house band, and includes joints that allow "V" or "W" formations, with angled pieces to accommodate the hanging of lower lighting instruments.
"We came onto this project via Mike Esmond at Universal," says Norm Schwab, the Los Angeles-based partner of Lightswitch. "They wanted someone with rock experience to design the lighting rig for the house band and a utility plot for smaller touring acts or Hard Rock Live television broadcasts. The whole thing has to fly out to allow a bigger touring rig to fit," he notes.
The house band, which includes rock and roll veterans who have come in from the road, performs five nights a week. Their show is a history of the evolution of rock and roll, with different looks as the songs progress from the 50s through the 90s. The lighting is based on a traditional PAR can-heavy rock-style rig, with more than 200 Tomcat PAR-64s and 24 ETC Source Four PARs, plus 14 High End Systems Cyberlights(R), 18 High End Studio Colors(R), four Strong Super Trouper II 1,600W xenon followspots, 70 ETC Source Fours with a variety of City Theatrical accessories (such as color frames, template holders, drop-in irises, and EFX2 Effects Projectors), and 26 Wybron Coloram color changers. Cyclights are by Lighting & Electronics, star strobes by Diversitronics, and DF-50 Diffusion(TM) hazers and Little Giant wind machines from Reel EFX to add atmosphere.
Some of the more unusual items on the fixture schedule are Altman 8" fresnels and Altman 360Q ellipsoidals listed as "shopworn." "For the 1950s we hid the rig so you see just the bare bones of the lighting. It has the look of followspots on stage," says Schwab. For the 60s portion of the show, two ladders fly in with old-fashioned scoops and striplights as might have been used for bands on The Ed Sullivan Show.
"This is a simple, early-rock-in-the-high-school-gym look, that moves on to liquid psychedelic patterns," Schwab says. "By the time the 70s roll around, the rig is visible, and in the 80s you see the moving lights and the entire rig turns into a really big look."
The Tomcat truss that supports the stage lighting is hung using CM Lodestar chain motors. "We asked for an unusual size truss that measures 30"x12" to be wide with a low profile," says John Featherstone, the Chicago member of the Lightswitch team. "This is more compact and gave us a lot of hanging space in very little room. Using corner blocks, the trussing arches around the stage and wraps in a vertical manner, rather than the traditional horizontal way."
Secoa also installed decorative truss formations and stage machinery including an orchestra lift in front of the stage that descends to the basement level. Also from Secoa is the plum-colored variable-speed stage curtain that can move from 0 to 300' (91m) per minute, using custom PC-based software, and black masking curtains. "The time frame was short and we had to keep pace with the train ahead and behind us," says Steve Hagen, the project manager for Secoa, who provided controls and motors for the "Braille" or contour curtain that is dead hung at the top and picks up from the bottom.
The decorative truss was manufactured by Universal Manufacturing in Clinton, MI, and features a 90' (27m) box truss that spans the space between two columns and can be used for additional lighting positions. Universal also provided a custom-configured 38' (12m) curved aluminum box truss (201/2" square) that hangs right in front of the proscenium and is held up by three chain motors above the proscenium catwalk and hidden by a plaster facade.
Dave Pavilitz, technical director for Hard Rock Live, reports that the bands who play there find that the venue has everything they need in terms of lighting. He also notes that in order to keep the history of rock as authentic as possible, they added set pieces from actual rock tours. A blue-and-purple tie-dyed backdrop was rescued from Jimmy Page and Robert Plant's No Quarter tour, and the metal risers used for the house band were used on the last Backstreet Boys tour, who in turn had acquired them from Kiss.
"The lighting onstage is a concert-style rig with lots of backlight," says Featherstone. "We wanted to provide a good generic rig with typical looks that are mainstream in terms of the music. It's not too extreme in any direction. The lighting goes along with that, but it becomes a high-energy show when the moving lights kick in." The lighting system also kicks in when stars take center stage. Freelance programmer Vickie Claiborne worked with the Wholehog II for performances by Mike Pinera of Iron Butterfly fame and for the official grand opening on March 12 with the one and only Elton John. The Hard Rock rocks on.

Unseen work by Tolkien to be published
9:30am Monday 8th October 2012 in News
A work by JRR Tolkien that has remained untouched for 80 years will be published for the first time next year.
The Fall of Arthur recounts in verse the last days of King Arthur, when, on the threshold of Mirkwood he was summoned to return to Britain by the news of Mordred's treachery.
Tolkien, below, put the work aside to focus on The Hobbit and The Lord of The Rings in the 1930s, but Harper Collins will now publish it for the first time along with three essays by Tolkien's son Christopher on the literary world of King Arthur.
A Harper Collins spokesman said: "Powerful, passionate and filled with vivid imagery, The Fall of Arthur reveals Tolkien's gift for storytelling at its brilliant best. Originally composed by JRR Tolkien in the 1930s, this work was set aside for The Hobbit and has lain untouched for 80 years.
"Now it has been edited for publication by Tolkien's son, Christopher, who contributes three illuminating essays that explore the literary world of King Arthur, reveal the deeper meaning of the verses and the painstaking work that his father applied to bring it to a finished form, and the intriguing links between The Fall of Arthur and his greatest creation, Middle Earth."
The news comes as fans around the world celebrate the 75th anniversary of the publication of The Hobbit, which is also due to be released as a series of films by Lord of the Rings director Peter Jackson later this year.
The new book is set for release in May 2013.
Tolkien was Rawlinson and Bosworth Professor of Anglo-Saxon at Pembroke College, Oxford, from 1925 to 1945 and Merton Professor of English Language and Literature there from 1945 to 1959. He passed away in 1973, aged 81.

LANDOVER, Md. (AP) -- Geno Smith completed 34 of 39 passes for 411 yards and five touchdowns Saturday, and No. 9 West Virginia rolled to a 42-12 win over James Madison.
Smith set the school's career passing yardage record, topping Marc Bulger.
Stedman Bailey and Tavon Austin both had 100 yards receiving before halftime for the Mountaineers, who improved to 2-0 and are 13-0 all time against FCS schools.
Bailey finished with 173 yards on 13 catches and three touchdowns. Austin had 113 yards on 11 receptions and one score.
The Dukes upset then-No. 13 Virginia Tech two years ago, but they never challenged the Mountaineers. They fell to 2-1.
The Mountaineers hosted the game at the Washington Redskins stadium to help maintain an East Coast profile now that they've moved to the Big 12.

Let us see what it has brought us.
Hmm, a Giant demolishing a Patriot in the Super Bowl. That was fun.
Kansas defeated Memphis in a hell of a run through the tourney. My UCLA friends were not very happy, but then, who was.
The Lakers shook off a bad knee with a Pau, only to get slapped around by the Green Monster from Boston, not much of NBA Finals after all.
I don't even remember who played in the NHL finals. Guess I'm gonna have to look that up.
Baseball came and went with some interesting stories. So interesting, in fact, that at times I didn't know if we were talking Baseball or Football. But in the end Boston said no to Manny while LA said yes. The Yankees were again the richest of the "lets take the postseason off and start vacation early" teams. The Cubs made a run that even had me excited, only to get swept by the Dodgers. Really? Poor Chicago, 100 years and counting. The Angels looked like they could take their second World Series, until the Red Sox sent them home. Chicago's South side was looking good till Tampa Bay stepped in. Did I just say Tampa Bay? Uh, yeah, who knew. Anyway, Philly took it to Milwaukee and when it ended up being Philly and Tampa, well, who didn't lose interest. The only good thing about this years World Series, was that Football and Basketball were here.
Basketballs looking like a rematch between LA and Boston. That Christmas game was one of the best I've ever seen. And yes, I am biased. And I'm not afraid to say it. Can't wait to see where it leads.
Football really turned out some cool things. In College, how many teams where ranked #1 this year? And I am one of those who would like to see a College Football postseason. C'mon, someone come up with a good solution. Please.
The NFL watched two teams start from opposite sides and end up in with different postseason. The Chargers where looking like a Super Bowl pick gone bad and the Cowboys seemed to be ready to take it all the way. Now look where they are. Chargers hosting Indy. The cowboys hosting Super Bowl viewing parties. Hehehe, yeah, that did make me laugh.
Anyway, here's to 2009, I can hardly wait.

Vietnam Veterans Against the War/Operation RAW
During the Labor Day weekend of September 4-7, 1970, Operation RAW ("Rapid American Withdrawal") took place. It was a three day protest march from Morristown, NJ, to Valley Forge State Park by over 200 veterans. It was sponsored by Vietnam Veterans Against the War. They were joined by members of Nurses for Peace and other peace groups. Dressed in combat fatigues and carrying toy weapons, the march was designed to dramatize a Vietnam-type search and destroy mission to the Middle America they passed through. Upon entering each town along the march, sweeps were made, prisoners taken and interrogated, property seized and homes cleared with the assistance of previously planted "guerrilla theater" actors portraying civilians. The 86 mile long march culminated in a four hour rally at Valley Forge that over 1,500 people attended. The honorary commander during this event was retired Army Brigadier General Hugh B. Hester. Sponsors included Senators George McGovern and Edmund Muskie, Rep. John Conyers, Paul O'Dwyer, Mark Lane, and Donald Sutherland. Scheduled speakers were John Kerry, Joe Kennedy, Rev. James Bevel, Mark Lane, Jane Fonda, and Sutherland. Congressman Allard Lowenstein, Mike Lerner, and Army First Lt. Louis Font also spoke.[1]
"Hanoi Jane"
In July-August 1972 Fonda made her infamous trip to North Vietnam. By this time, over 50,000 Americans had been killed in the war. While there, she posed for pictures on an anti-aircraft gun that had been used to shoot down American planes, and she volunteered to do a radio broadcast from Hanoi. She made approximately eight radio addresses, during which she told American pilots in the area:
- "Use of these bombs or condoning the use of these bombs makes one a war criminal. Examine the reasons given to justify the murder you are being paid to commit. I don't know what your officers tell you, but [your] weapons are illegal and that's not just rhetoric. The men who are ordering you to use these weapons are war criminals according to international law, and in the past, in Germany and Japan, men who committed these kinds of crimes were tried and executed."
Fonda also quoted Ho Chi Minh during some of these broadcasts. She referred to President Richard Nixon as a "new-type Hitler," and advised South Vietnamese soldiers to desert: "You are being used as cannon fodder for U.S. imperialism."
These radio addresses were aired repeatedly by the North Vietnamese communists.
Fonda and the Flacks'
Jane Fonda has a close relationship with former Students for a Democratic Society activists and Democratic Socialists of America supporters Richard Flacks and Mickey Flacks.

In 2009 Jane Fonda was listed as a signer of the Progressives for Obama website.[2]

Inzaghi starts Milan tenure with crucial win
With the new Serie A season finally getting underway this weekend, Milan kicked off their campaign with a crucial 3-1 win over Lazio at San Siro.
Goals from Keisuke Honda, Sulley Muntari and a Jeremy Menez penalty were enough to secure all three points, and it was vital for the club as a whole that Pippo Inzaghi got off to a winning start.
While it wasn't an entirely convincing display, the Rossoneri showed the type of spirit and determination that will be required this season. An attacking trid...

A major company is relocating and adding to the growth of an East Texas city.
The Lindale Economic Development Corporation said FedEx is building a distribution facility in the new "Lindale Industrial Park".
"This project has been over 18 months coming together. It's a huge project for Lindale. It's the first project in our Industrial Park It's going to help put our industrial park on the map," said President of LEDC, John Clary. "It's a great event for Lindale and we are excited about it. It is not just six years in the making our industrial park, but 20 years since we put in our Economic Development Cooperation. This is the kind of thing we were headed for when we started out 20 years ago," said Chairman of LEDC Barham Fulmer. The FedEx Distribution Center will sit on 10 acres of this property, leaving plenty of space for more tenants."So, we own all of this property toward Harvey Road and as far as you see this way, we own that much more going that way," pointed Clary as he stood on a hill overlooking the property. "Right across the road from each other there will be a Target Distribution Center and a FedEx Distribution Center, two nationally known companies that we don't have to explain to anybody who they are," explained Fulmer. The board said FedEx is an anchor tenant that validates their Industrial Park and it always helps to sell real estate when you've got that prime location. "They're just a few hundred yards from Interstate 20 and about a quarter mile from Toll 49, it's a huge intersection and then a mile the other way to U.S. 69. So, people are seeing logistically what a great spot this is," said Fulmer.
The expected completion date of the FedEx Distribution Center is June of 2014.
The board said FedEx is in the process of consolidating two Tyler locations, eventually moving them under one roof in Lindale. They hope other businesses will soon neighbor that distribution center, bringing new jobs to the area.

Three years ago, Minnesota native Joe Stone crashed into a mountain at almost 50 miles per hour speed flying, a form of high performance paragliding. The accident left him an incomplete quadriplegic, meaning he is paralyzed from the chest down, and has physical impairments in both of his hands. But the accident never broke his spirit, and now, Joe looks to become the first known quadriplegic to finish a full Ironman.
Joe isn't your typical triathlete- and for Joe, as a quadriplegic, being tough takes on a whole new meaning.
"I completely broke down one night when I realized this was for life," said Joe. "I mean, lost it. It was me literally seeing my entire life was over. I can't do anything more. That was, that was it."
But Joe refused to let the accident limit him, and he began to set goals, which turned into bigger goals, which turned into finishing a full Ironman- but he knows, it won't be easy.
"My heart right doesn't go as high," Joe said of issues he faces being a quadriplegic. "My diaphragm has been weakened, so my lungs aren't as big. I don't sweat anymore. That's what most people fear in an Ironman. When people stop sweating, that's when things are starting to go wrong."
What most people fear, Joe has conquered, training six days a week for the past seven months, using specialized equipment in his quest to finish this grueling race.
"It's opened my eyes up to what I'm able to accomplish, and that these goals are realistic to set," said Joe
That goal becomes a reality on Saturday, when seven months of training are put to the test as Joe will swim 2.4 miles in the Gulf, spend 112 miles on the bike, and 26.2 miles on the pavement.
"It's going to take me back to three years ago when I was just waking up from a coma and couldn't even feed myself and on a ventilator," he said of finishing the race. "It's going to be an amazing experience no matter what happens on race day. I think no matter what, people will enjoy the story."
A story that for Joe, is really just beginning. Top able bodied athletes finish the triathlon in 9-10 hours. Joe hopes to finish in 15.
Hi-Fly'n Productions is producing an upcoming documentary called An Ironman's Journey, which will reveal the entire story behind Joe's heroic attempt. To find out more about Joe, the documentary, and his foundation, The Joe Stone Foundation, you can check out his website here.

WASHINGTON – The wealth gap between African Americans and whites has expanded in recent years and is not likely to narrow without significant reductions in black unemployment and changes in a system that favors the wealthy over poor and middle class Americans, according the National Urban League's 38th annual State of Black America report titled, "One Nation Underemployed: Jobs Rebuild America."
The report was to be released Thursday (April 3rd) at a news conference at the National Press Club in the nation's capital.
In a statement accompanying the report, Marc H. Morial, president and CEO of the National Urban League, said: "The 2014 State of Black America and corresponding Equality Index indicate that while each state and city has its own economic recovery story to tell, the consistent refrain is that there is an urgent and growing disparity between the few who are reaping the rewards of economic recovery and the majority who are still reeling from aftershocks of the Great Recession."
The Beta Epsilon Omega Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. observed the 80th anniversary of the Memphis graduate chapter's chartering last Saturday (March 29th).
Approximately 200 members wearing the sorority's signature colors of pink and green were on hand for the ceremony, which featured inspirational words from fellow AKA member the Rev. Rosalyn Nichols, the keynote speaker of the program held at Middle Baptist Church-Whitehaven.
Nichols's message centered on the theme of "What Motivates a Woman." She drew parallels to how women of AKA share what is precious to them to help others, much like the woman described in the Gospel of Mark who poured expensive perfumed oil on Jesus from her alabaster jar.
The month of April: Jackie Robinson, born;Paul Robeson, born; Maya Angelou, born; Coretta Scott King, born' Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Murdered!
The month of April is very significant to the discussion of the brutal economic servitude and so-called emancipation of black people in America. For centuries, whites had indulged in directing and controlling the fate of the masses of blacks from birth to death. Then one fateful day, April 11th, 1861, a triggering mechanism was fired that would ultimately prove to be the beginning of the end for America's inhuman practice of enslaving black men, women and children.
The Civil War began. And on April 9th, 1865 – almost four years to the date it began – the "War Between the States ended.
Numerous organized efforts by enslaved blacks and pro emancipation whites (John Brown, etc.) had failed to overcome the tyrannical rule and mass repression of the helpless people. Many of the organized efforts to free themselves failed due to frightened and insecure blacks. Hoping to gain favor with their master, they often revealed the plans.
In the United States, fat-shaming and fat-phobia are as American as apple pie. While the African-American community is more likely to embrace obesity as curvy, that embrace often acts as a defense mechanism against mainstream and European standards of beauty – a standard which excludes anyone who isn't white, thin and blonde, or some acceptable variation.
Yet even as we position full-figured as a body-type to be proud of, the weight loss market continues to be a multi-billion dollar industry.
The "lack of parental involvement" is the biggest issue affecting African-American students' quality of education.
That is one of major findings in a new national survey of African Americans on factors in their quality of life. The survey, sponsored by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation (WKKF) and Ebony magazine, polled 1,005 African Americans on their mood and on issues related to income, housing, health care, relationships, race and education.
Responses to education-related questions made up a large part of the summary of survey findings. When asked to identify the biggest issues in education, about a fifth of respondents said lack of parental involvement, making it the most frequently cited concern. Other concerns included "overcrowded classrooms" (17 percent), "funding differences among school districts" (17 percent), "quality of teachers" (16 percent), and "students with behavioral issues or special needs" (10 percent).

IRS official apologizes for singling out 'tea party' and 'patriot' groups
Posted May 10, 2013 10:38 AM CDT
By Debra Cassens Weiss
Updated: An Internal Revenue Service official apologized today for agency workers who flagged groups that used the key words "tea party" or "patriot" in their applications for tax-exempt status.
Lois Lerner, who heads the IRS unit that oversees tax-exempt groups, said the flagged groups were subjected to additional reviews, the Associated Press reports in a story noted by the Atlantic Wire. She said that low-level workers in Cincinnati initiated the practice.
Lerner spoke at a meeting of the ABA Section of Taxation.
Tax-exempt groups can engage in political activity, but it can't be their primary activity, the AP story explains.
Updated of 11:50 a.m. to state that Lerner spoke at a meeting of the ABA Section of Taxation.

For anyone who was feeling sympathetic for Eli Manning and the injury-riddled Giants heading into last night's game in Carolina, don't worry. They're just fine.
Not that Tom Coughlin is worried about the public perception of his team.
Despite missing four starters (RB Ahmad Bradshaw, WR Hakeem Nicks, ORT David Diehl, CB Michael Coe) and another key contributor (WR Domenik Hixon) on a short week, the Giants prepared for the Panthers like they would for any other game and did something only two of nine teams accomplished last season: a road victory on three days of rest.
And this wasn't just a victory. It was a thumping, 37-6 statement from the defending champs, who dominated the Panthers so thoroughly that Giants backup QB David Carr had time to amass a better passer rating than Cam Newton (56.2 to 40.6). Even with the rash of injuries, we should have expected nothing less from an increasingly resilient team with a proven championship pedigree.
Do you really think Manning was worried about missing two of the team's best offensive weapons? The Giants' next men up were brilliant from the start: Fourth-year WR Ramses Barden snagged all seven first-half passes thrown his way for 123 yards — including 94 yards in the second quarter, equaling his 2011 total — while third-year RB Andre Brown eclipsed his entire career rushing total in the first half alone. Just as impressive was the confidence with which Manning targeted the unproven Barden, gunning passes down the middle of the Panthers' zone coverage into tight windows and trusting Barden, just as he would Nicks or Victor Cruz, to keep the ball safe.
The team is even filling holes on the offensive line without skipping a beat. Since Diehl left Week Two's game against the Buccaneers 11 minutes into the first quarter, the Giants' line has allowed just two sacks in 81 drop-backs, one of which came in garbage time Thursday with Carr in the game and Manning on the bench.
The seamlessness with which New York replaced its injured starters to eviscerate a talented Panthers squad showed once again why this team is so dangerous. With injuries in the secondary now piling up — in addition to Coe's absence, top CB Corey Webster broke his right hand and CB Jayron Hosley and S Antrel Rolle left Thursday night with injuries — is there really any reason to doubt the Giants moving forward?
Suddenly, the Giants' receiving weapons (once everyone is healthy) look terrifying. Nicks and Cruz were already among the league's best wide receiver duos, while the emergence of Barden and former Cowboys TE Martellus Bennett (185 yards receiving and three TDs in 2012) has obscured the team's recently drafted talent waiting in the wings in WRs Jerrel Jernigan (third round, 2011) and Rueben Randle (second round, 2012). Likewise, Brown's emergence, paired with the return of Bradshaw, should extend the Giants' tradition of dangerous running back committees, even if rookie first-rounder David Wilson (six carries, eight yards and one fumble) continues to make meager contributions.
The team's depth and consistent approach to each game may very well produce a regular season reminiscent of the last defending-champion Giants' squad, who fired off to an 11-1 start and cruised to the NFC East title in 2008. Sure, they may produce the occasional head-scratcher (remember the 35-14 Monday-night beatdown at the hands of the lowly Browns in 2008?), but nobody will want to see this team in the playoffs.
Lest we forget that the 2008 season was derailed by Plaxico Burress's accidental shooting incident, after which New York limped to a 1-4 finish, including a home playoff defeat to the Eagles. With an even deeper team and more confidence than ever in 2012, it would be foolish to expect such a quiet exit again.

Concern over missing pub landlord
12:52pm Thursday 13th December 2012 in News By Elizabeth Kemble
POLICE are becoming increasingly concerned about the wellbeing of a pub landlord from Shrewton.
Malcolm Levesconte, 59, was last seen at the Royal Oak on Sunday, December 9.
He had been running a thrift club for villagers, and there is no sign of the £29,000 saved by 60 people.
Detectives investigating his disappearance have confirmed that Mr Levesconte booked a return ferry ticket to St Malo in France on Sunday and boarded a ferry at Portsmouth.
Police are working with the relevant agencies in France to try to trace him.
DS Mike Standing from Salisbury CID said: "We are becoming increasingly concerned for Mr Levesconte's safety and continue to treat his disappearance as a missing person inquiry.
"We would strongly urge anyone who thinks that they have information about his whereabouts to come forward and speak to us. "If you have heard from Mr Levesconte or had contact with him near to when he went missing and think that you have information that would assist us, we would like to hear from you."
Police launched an investigation earlier this week after they were informed of the theft of the money by a member of the public.
DS Standing said: "Many of the victims have already contacted us but we have a list of all of the 60 people that have been contributing to the fund and in the next few days they will all receive a letter from us outlining what action they need to take.
"We are making numerous inquiries to try to establish what has happed to this £29,000 Christmas thrift fund, which has left so many people without the cash they need for presents and food this year."
Anyone with information about the whereabouts of Mr Levesconte is asked to contact Salisbury CID on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

text: Ousted DeKalb County School Board Chairman Eugene Walker is trying to get his job back. Dr. Walker took his case before an administrative judge Wednesday.Walker's attorney opened up the hearing by telling the judge that the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Council on Accreditation and School Improvement, known as SACS, is biased and cannot be trusted. The attorney said that SACS misrepresented facts in its report and it was that report that triggered Gov. Nathan Deal's removal of six DeKalb County School Board members. However, SACS first put the entire DeKalb school district on probation. The Attorney General's Office says this is not about discrediting SACS. Attorneys for the State government said that Walker doesn't care about the students in the DeKalb school district; he just wants his old job back.Just before Wednesday's hearing started, a community activist spoke out in Walker's support"We don't have to go to Washington to see where voters have been disenfranchised," said Derrick Bozeman, a Community activist. "The removal of Dr. Walker and the board members from the DeKalb County School Board is a throwback to the 1950's."[When] You can un-elect elected officials -- not by using a ballot box, but by the stroke of a pen -- we are at the very days of Edmund Pettus Bridge."Dr. Walker's attorney claims to have 10 witnesses and the Attorney General's Office says it has two.A judge ordered SACS to turn over hundreds of emails. . The accrediting agency used those emails to create a stinging report on the DeKalb School board that landed the district on probation. The judge asked AdvancEd to turn the documents over to him and he would decide their relevance.

After only being used 10 or 12 times, in a two year period, it would not start. Ignition coil had to be replaced, which would cost more than I paid for the trimmer. Called the 800# number for repairs. Told it was out of warrenty, nothing could be done. Looks like it just came out of the box and it has to be trashed. How does it go, "fool me once, same on you, etc." Never will happen twice to me. Craftsman bad!

I purchased this hedger a couple of weeks ago and first used it to trim a jasmine bush, nothing heavy duty. Within the first ten minutes of use, the hedger jammed and I could not get it to work again.

bought this trimmer to replace one I bought a few years ago. it works like a charm. The power this piece of equipment has really cut the time it normally takes to trim my hedges in half. Now instead of trimming the hedges every two or three weeks, I do it every week now.

I debated on which brand hedge trimmer to purchase for 5 months. When I finally decided, I chose craftsman over stihl due to $100 cheaper. The craftsman literally lasted 15 seconds, big twig/branch got stuck in between teeth and it ceased up. Teeth stopped cutting even after I pulled out the debris. Took it right back to sears the next day and went and bought a stihl like I should have done in the first place.

WILMINGTON, NC (WECT) – A bishop from Raleigh helped a local church celebrate a historic honor Sunday. Last month, St. Mary's Church in Wilmington was deemed a basilica by the Pope. Bishop Michael Burbidge of the Catholic Diocese of Raleigh helped the church celebrate the honor with a special mass Sunday. "What we celebrate today is the past, the present and a future," said Burbidge. "We live in a community and a diocese and a Catholic church that is growing." At the mass, Burbidge also took time to address immigration reform- an issue he feels strongly about.
"Let's do something. We know that this immigration system is broken," said Burbidge. "It's not working and everyone acknowledges that so let's do something even if it's not perfect."
The church is the only the second one in the state to be recognized as a basilica. It is now officially known as The Basilica Shrine of St. Mary.

Backpacker Magazine – June 2008
On your mark, get set ... hike. Inside a 5,600-mile footrace on the country's hardest trail.
Tattoo Joe. Trauma. One Gallon. Nimble Will.They're all top ultra-distance backpackers, and nobody's ever heard of them. Which is pretty much the way they want it. That's because the ultra-distance community–a fraternity of maybe a dozen folks who think of an Appalachian Trail thru-hike as a warm-up–typically prefer to walk 200 days straight, and then reenter civilization only long enough to mastermind a plan to leave again.
"Money is just a means to get to do the next trip," says 27-year-old Justin "Trauma" Lichter, who hiked 10,000 miles in 2006. "As for fame, why would I want that? It just complicates things."
Francis Tapon, on the other hand, hungers for attention. The Bay Area-based Tapon sought to become the first person to yo-yo the Continental Divide Trail–that is, thru-hike it and then double back to the start–for the adventure, but also to raise his profile. Tapon is an entrepreneur who hopes to parlay his hiking and travel into a series of self-help books, equal parts life-coaching and travelogue, and become a successful author.
Tapon, who has engaging hazel eyes and a celebrity's smile, released his first effort, Hike Your Own Hike, in 2006. It's based on his thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail five years earlier. To this reviewer, the writing is uninspired and the advice often clichéd: The author doesn't need to tell us that exercise is good or that smoking is bad, or that we should find a job we love because life is short. But Tapon likes to think of his messages as timeless reminders. To him, backpacking and life should both be distilled to their essences.
Ladridi's comment is understandable given the angle the writer took. Ladridi is correct that I took a job at a startup a few months after finishing the trail; however, it was a part-time, unpaid position, which I did more to help out a friend rather than to make money. If I'm a capitalist, I'm a lousy one.
I encourage those who came away with some negative feelings about the article to read my response to the article here:
I appreciate that Backpacker Magazine was fair and printed my short letter after this article came out. Unfortunately, the letter is not on the web, please view that link if you'd like to hear my take on the article. Thank you!
Happy trails,
Francis Tapon
I finally had time to read this well-written article. I just finished the CDT and it's hard to believe any yo-yoed that trail! An amazing accomplishment and adventure for both of them.
"He had hit the trail for the reasons many of us seek wilderness: to quiet his mind and spirit. He had recently left the Mormon Church and had taken leave from a PhD program; he was troubled by unresolved feelings about God and his future. Magoo, likewise, was motivated by a higher quest: He was a successful MBA who had chucked the corporate world for a dream of turning hiking and adventure into money."
I may be the only one, but I don't think that a dream of turning hiking into money is a "higher quest". When you trade one money-making opportunity (corporate job) for another moneymaking opportunity (hiking/travel books), I fail to see the "higher" status of the latter. He is a capitalist, plain and simple, who simply decided he'd rather be his own boss and figured that notoriety was his currency. (Nevermind that he took a job from a startup after he finished the trip.) Calling that a higher quest is insulting to the people who actually view hiking as its own reward instead of a commodity to be mined and then spent. While I know that there are a number of distance hiking enthusiasts who have turned their passions into profits, I suspect that most if not all of them would view the hiking as the higher quest, not the business.
How do these ppl afford to do this? Don't they have mortgages and bills to pay?
How about that. When I read the article there were two negative comments directed at the writer and one positive which was directed at the hikers. Go the positive guy.
A well written article, very enjoyable.
One question, though. Does Backpacker online really need to simulate the epic journey by spreading this out over 14 pages?
The Onion is a stud! and just because he didn't do it first he did it the quicker and did it for the right reason, himself! Over all the artical was great and kudos on getting the word out and giving praise wear it's due!
Congrats to both hikers. Amazing.
A strong ethos in long distance hiking is "hike your own hike". For Tapon, this meant hike on the trail, and add some extra peak bagging. For the Onion, this meant hike any route in the general area of the Divide, including roads that shaved off elevation and distance. Both valid hikes, just different.
This article would have done better by celebrating both hikers success. "Don't count anyone your friend who tries to clip your wings."

Preserved lemons, a staple of Moroccan cooking, are made using the entire lemon, skin and all, cured in its own juices along with salt and sometimes sugar. Like most preserves, the recipe varies from cook to cook, so you might find them brined with the addition of garlic, shallot, bay leaves, coriander seeds, chili flakes or cinnamon sticks.
The pickling is easy to do, although it takes at least three weeks before the lemons are ready to use. Preserved lemons are often the secret ingredient that makes an otherwise ordinary dish sparkle. Just a small amount stirred into a quick sauté or added to a roasting chicken adds a brightness and depth of flavor.
I also love them with any type of seafood. Enhance a sautéed salmon fillet by stirring finely chopped preserved rind into the sauté pan with a little butter and chopped cilantro. Preserved lemons may taste a bit tart, but the skin and pith impart an intensely lemony flavor compared to using just juice and zest.
Making traditional preserved lemons at home is easy and well worth the work if you plan ahead. I use about eight small lemons for a quart-sized jar, with about a cup of kosher salt. I may add a stick or two of cinnamon, a bay leaf and/or some whole peppercorns.
It's important to scrub the lemons very clean before quartering them almost all the way, leaving the quarters still attached at one end. Simply rub the cut surfaces with salt (about 2 tablespoons per lemon), and pack them into the (very clean) jar, pushing them down into the bottom.
Add enough fresh lemon juice to cover the lemons completely, cover the jar, and leave it out on the counter for about a week, turning it upside down every so often. Refrigerate the jarred lemons and let it sit for another month or so, with an occasional turn and shake. They'll keep perfectly, refrigerated, for at least a year.

Lawmakers Agree Program Regarding Farm Workers Must Be Changed
Congress is working on immigration reform. Both sides of the aisle agree farmers should be allowed to hire foreign workers more easily - the problem comes from disagreements on how to do so. So - ag industry representatives offered options to improve and reform the U.S. Workable Agricultural Guestworker program to the U.S. House Subcommittee on Immigration and Border Security's hearing on Tuesday.
Many lawmakers believe the visa program that allows farmers to hire foreign workers accounts for a very small percentage of the hundreds of thousands of workers hired in the U.S. for farm work. They play a critical role to the U.S. economy and food supply - but growers say their productivity and ability to keep operations in the U.S. is threatened by the difficulty of ensuring a stable labor supply.
American Farm Bureau Federation President Bob Stallman presented a market-based labor program - which would be administered by the U.S. Department of agriculture - that would be a substitute for - and eventually replace - the program in place now. AFBF believes the program would provide farmers with access to that legal, stable workforce and also give employers certainty they have access to the necessary workforce at a competitive cost.
Stallman says ag's goal is to develop a program that treats workers fairly and is efficient and economical for employers. In order to provide short-term stability and an orderly, effective transition to a new program - Stallman says it is imperative that any approved legislation by Congress include provisions permitting current ag workers who might not otherwise qualify to obtain work authorization - as any new program will take time to be fully implemented.
Both Republicans and Democrats agree the current system is broken and needs to be fixed - but for now they can't agree on how to improve it. Many Democrats believe any changes should be made in the context of comprehensive changes to U.S. immigration laws that would provide a road to citizenship for illegal immigrants currently in the country - including farm workers.

I am a very beginner with developing Nokia applications with java.
I was looking for very simple code examples, but only find very complicated stuf.
Just starting using simple standard input and output.
The first problem I encounter is, that I can work with standard output (System.out), but the Nokia SDK doesn't recognize things like System.in?
A simple piece of code:
System.out.print("Enter your name: ");
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
doesn't work.
(I did the import: import java.io.*; )
Even BufferedReader is not known...
I wrote already a simple text-based game and wanted to bring it to my Nokia, but not all code can be re-used?
thanks for your help!

FONDA, N.Y. – Animal advocates were in Montgomery County Court Tuesday as a judge heard complaints against a local breeder.
Activists asked the judge to issue a warrant to immediately seize dogs at Flat Creek Border Collies.
New York State Police at Fonda in conjunction with the Montgomery County District Attorney's office began investigating complaints of possible animal neglect at the kennel, located in the Town of Root. According to authorities, several visits to the kennel did not initially reveal any violations of New York State Law or local codes.
As the investigation continued, and based upon the recommendations of a licensed veterinarian and consultation with the New York State Attorney's General Office, the owner of the property, Herbert Weich, was charged with a violation of the Agriculture & Markets Law section 353-B(2), for failure to provide adequate shelter.
On Tuesday, Eric Bellows, said in court that he filed a complaint with State Police when he said, he saw deplorable conditions at the Flat Creek Border Collies operation in Sprakers.
"I went there. There wasn't proper shelter. There wasn't hay in the barrels. There was the plastic barrels as homes for these dogs anybody knows that that's not insulated," said Bellows.
However, some neighbors, like Pat Cardamn, didn't see a problem with the way the nearly 70 dogs were being cared for.
"I mean, they all got the igloos," said Cardamn. "They all got water, plenty of food."
Weich agreed to comply with an agreement between the Attorney General and the Montgomery County SPCA. Forty adult dogs will be removed from the property and placed in the care of the SPCA.
The owner has until January 21 to build 24 new dog houses for shelter at his property -- a neighbor will be constructing them. He must also have adequate food and water for the 30 dogs still on the property. Puppies on the property must be kept inside when it is below freezing, and the owner must fix a heated water system as well as an algae problem.
If he makes the changes, the 40 dogs that were removed will be returned to his property and placed back in his care.
Richard Rosenthal, an Attorney with the Lexus Project said "It was never our intention to take his dogs away."
Weich will answer the Agriculture and Markets Law charge in the Town of Root Justice Court on January 13.
