AKRON, Ohio (AP) -- Lawyers for a former political power broker on trial for public corruption in northeast Ohio have rested their case without having their client take the stand.
Jimmy Dimora is a former commissioner and Democratic chairman from Cuyahoga (ky-uh-HOH'-guh) County. He was accused of bribery and racketeering and has pleaded not guilty.
The Plain Dealer newspaper in Cleveland (http://bit.ly/ygaLvC ) reports Dimora did not testify before his attorneys wrapped up their defense Friday in federal court in Akron. A former county worker who is a co-defendant in the case also did not testify.
It brought an end to seven weeks of testimony from a total of more than 70 people.
Lawyers for both sides are expected to present closing arguments in the case this week.

Overview and History
Belgrade is the capital of Serbia and has a population of just under two million. It's in the middle of the Balkan Peninsula in southeast Europe where the Danube and Sava rivers meet.
Belgrade is one of the oldest cities in Europe with a history that goes back seven thousand years! Of course, with two rivers meeting you can expect that there will be a lot of human activity across the ages. Caves with Neanderthal skulls and bones from the early Stone Age show the time frame we're talking about here.
Due to its strategically valuable position between East and West, Belgrade has been at the center of battles throughout most of its history. Our history begins with the Roman colonization (of course) at the end of the first Century AD, when it was called Singidunum. The Huns destroyed the city in 441AD and began a period of squabbling between Sarmatians, Goths, Gepidaes and more Goths. During this time the name of the city changed to Taurunum and Malevilla.
The Slavs permanently settled here in the seventh century then immediately fought the Bulgarians. The Slavic name "Beligarad" was first recorded around 878AD, then Hungary attacked and the Byzantine Empire took over, remaining in control until 1284. The first, second and third armies of the Crusades came through in the early middle ages, seeing Belgrade in ruins.
For the first time, Belgrade became part of Serbian rule when King Dragutin was given the city from the Hungarian Crown. More fighting ensued, Hungary repossessed the city and by the fifteenth century they were battling the Turkish Ottoman invasion.
Between 1440 and 1867 the Turkish controlled Belgrade except when they were temporarily defeated by armies from Bavaria, Savoy, and Austria. Under Turkish control Belgrade was the second largest city of the Ottoman Empire, surpassed only by Constantinople. Being stuck between the Ottoman and Hapsburg Empires was not the best place to be.
Several centuries of internal rebellions and periods of occupation by the Holy Roman Empire prevented industrial development as was seen in other European countries. Finally in 1878 Serbia was recognized as an independent state and kingdom with Belgrade as its capital.
The World Wars of the twentieth century were not kind to Serbia. In WWI it was heavily bombed and occupied by Austrian and German troops. The city was then liberated by Serbian troops only to dissolve into a dictatorship as of 1926.
In WWII Belgrade was bombed by the Allies and occupied by Germans, who massacred one hundred Serbs for every German killed. It was liberated by the Russian Red Army, ending up as the Federal People's Republic of Yugoslavia in 1945.
Recent history: Belgrade was the center of the last outbreak of smallpox in Europe during its Communist period, in 1972. Massive demonstrations took place in 1991 and protests over election fraud continued until 1997. Serbia has the highest hyperinflation in the history of mankind in the year 1993. The first non-Communist government was installed in 1997, the Kosovo War saw NATO bombing Belgrade (again) in 1999, and finally the dictatorship of Slobodan Milosevic ended in 2000AD.
Serbia got its first democratic government in 2001. Yugoslavia was formally brought to an end in 2003. Serbia and Montenegro declared independence in 2006 and Kosovo followed in 2008 under continuing dispute.
Getting There
Nikola Tesla Airport is where you'll be flying in if you come by plane.
Do you know Tesla? He was one of the geniuses of the modern world, who invented radar and alternating current by drawing the pictures which appeared to him in visions. He came from Serbia and would have given the world FREE ELECTRICITY if the leaders of the industrial revolution had actually wanted what was best for humanity instead of what would make them personally rich. They took control of his inventions and he died a broken man.
Anyway, the airport connects to Belgrade by bus, taxi and car rental. It's 18km from downtown.
From what I hear, unlicensed taxi drivers try to shove you into their car outside the bus station. You should probably go a few blocks and catch a licensed taxi which has two number plates on the roof for proof. If you take a taxi, make sure it's got a blue city taxi sign on the roof, pay what's on the meter and don't pay any extra for your baggage.
You can get around the city by bus, trolleybus and trams. Night buses and trams operate on slightly different routes than daytime, and don't forget to get your ticket punched when you climb on board.
People and Culture
The official currency of Serbia is the dinar (RSD), which was 95 dinar to the Euro at the time of this writing.
Due to the many kinds of invasion in the history of Serbia, the people of Belgrade reflect Jewish, Asian, Muslim, Catholic, Protestant and Orthodox influences in their heritage. A friend of mine from Serbia said that people listen to the tallest guy in the room who shouts the loudest. (He said it in a funny way, it's not meant as an insult.)
Serbian food is hearty and nutritious. Think of Greek cooking combined with Croatian recipes -- minced meat grilled and seasoned spicy. Lots of lamb, pork and veal. Stuffed cabbage similar to Moussaka. Home made apricot brandy, man!
Try Loki for a bite at night. You will feel like you never had a hamburger before!
Things to do, Recommendations
If you're visiting Belgrade in early March, check out the annual International Film Festival. It goes up in the same month as the Belgrade Documentary and Short Film Festival, a competition.
For nightlife in Belgrade, you have a lot of options. There are clubs build on rafts in the river, called Splavovi. For regular clubs on land, start with Anderground, a famous club located underneath the Kalemegdan fortress. The list continues here. There are about a gazillion pubs and bars to choose from when your night is getting started, as well as casinos and jazz clubs.
Have fun!

Tough sledding for the Detroit Lions offense through two quarters today. Quarterback Matt Stafford has completed just five of 11 pass attempts for 47 yards.
Matthew Stafford has proven himself to be a matchup-proof starting fantasy quarterback. Despite facing one of the league's stingiest defenses in the 49ers in Week 6, Stafford still managed to throw for almost 300 yards and two touchdowns.
Against the Falcons in Week 6, Stafford faced on the worst pass defenses in the league, giving up the fifth most passing yards and the 10th most points overall. Though the Lions, on paper, look like they should be ahead early in this game, they really don't have a grind-it-out and run the clock section of their playbook. Stafford is averaging 39.5 pass attempts per game, and he's done plenty with them. He should be starting ahead of almost every quarterback in the game this week.
For more on Stafford and his matchup with the Falcons, check out Lions blog, Pride of Detroit, and our Falcons blog, The Falcoholic. Also be sure to check out all of our fantasy football news and video highlights of the best Week 7 action.

Oxford United still 'in good nick'
9:30am Saturday 7th April 2012 in Oxford Utd By David Pritchard , Chief Sports Reporter covering Oxford United. Follow us on twitter: @oxfordmailoufc. Call me on 01865 425458
CHRIS Wilder was encouraged with Oxford United's performance despite the agony of seeing his side go down to a last-gasp defeat at Northampton Town last night.
Brett Williams's 91st-minute strike gave the Cobblers a 2-1 win at the end of a high- octane nPower League Two game at Sixfields.
It was tough to take for the U's, who had looked set to go on and win the game after Cristian Montano's strike early in the second half, with Adam Chapman having a penalty saved.
Despite suffering back-to-back defeats for the first time since November, Wilder was upbeat over the display, which was a vast improvement on last weekend's home defeat to Morecambe.
He said: "We're really disappointed with the result, but I've got to say I'm pretty pleased with the way we played.
"They really came at us and to concede after 50 seconds was disappointing.
But the reaction from the players after that, I thought there was only going to be one winner but we've been done on the break by a sucker-punch.
"We lose a game, but we're in decent nick."
The defeat came at a heavier cost to United, with Michael Duberry sent off late on and Peter Leven sent to hospital with a leg injury following a fair but firm tackle in the first half.
It was too early to tell last night, but the Scot's reaction after the challenge indicated a serious problem, which could rule him out for the rest of the season.
Wilder thought the performance from his side deserved maximum points.
But he felt the main lesson was the value in seeing out a game to claim a point – as play-off rivals Crewe Alexandra and Gillingham had done earlier in the day.
He said: "Going into the last five minutes, if we can't win then we need to take something from the game and that's been the message to the players.
"That's what has disappointed me, we should have had three points with the quality of the play, but we'd have taken one.
"The other teams have played away from home with tough games, like this one, and taken a point.
"If we had taken a point out of it we'd have moved on and we have to learn that when these situations happen we don't switch off – which we've done."

We're just a little more than a week away from the North Dakota State Fair, and for many fair goers that means finding a place to stay.
And, with more hotels in the area, are there any rooms left?
From North Hill to South Hill, hotels are going up everywhere. And, with the North Dakota State Fair quickly approaching, there's a great need for rooms.
"We've filled numerous rooms," says Staybridge Suites general manager David Bussard. "We have some availability later in the week, but the first weekend looks to be a banner weekend."
With all of the new hotels in the area that means more rooms. But, as Howe explains, most of the vacancies should be filled by the start of the State Fair.
Visit Minot executive director Wendy Howe says, "We are encouraging people to make reservations now. We are getting closer and closer to the event, and the number we have available are going to get less and less."
And, while there may be a few more rooms this year than last at this time, it may be a better market for last minute travelers.
"You know with over 30 hotels that are open in Minot, there's just so many more rooms that more people are more confident that they are going to get a room," says Bussard.
But, what about the rates?
Howe says, "We are finding hotel rates have definitely dropped a little bit in comparison to what they were last year and the year before. During busy times like the North Dakota State Fair and other major events, like any other community that has a major event, hotel rooms do increase a little bit."
For a complete list of available hotel rooms, visit www.visitminot.org.
The list is updated several times a week, but during the fair, the list will be updated on a daily basis.

Kick Ass Towels!!! Really cool little towels. I bought…
Source: bought it new
Price Paid: $5
Kick Ass Towels!!!
- Light weight
- Small pack in
- Cheap
- Don't count on getting them back that small once you open em
Really cool little towels. I bought a two pack on Amazon for under $5. The have the texture of a cross between a shamwow and a guitar rag. They come with a little list of what all you can do with them. Kinda like a multi use bandana you can dry up with. You can wash them too for when they get funky. I will keep a few on hand at all times. Two in the pack, two in the truck. I love these little things.
Lightload Towels www.ultralighttowels.com is a one…
Price Paid: $6.95
Lightload Towels www.ultralighttowels.com is a one of kind towel. Looking at the package you wonder how can this be a towel because it is so small and compact but once you open it the lightload expands to a 12 by 24 towel. It's a little rough at first opening but getting wet softens it up.
I have used it to start fires, clean pots, dry myself, generate insulation, treat cuts, treat blisters, and clean lenses. It is an all and one survival tool. Its great for high altitudes and winter weather because of it's insulation and breathability and it's good in a pinch in spring summer and fall weather. The packaging is waterproof so you'll always have a clean
dry towel in the outdoors.
One drawback is it doesn't last forever. However it is biodegradable and the manufacturer pointed out that in the package it will last 2000 miles or more in your backpack(forever). Out of the package it can last two to three months or as the manufacturer says "about as long as a good pair of boots on an Appalachian Trail thru hike".
The key to preserving it is to dry it when not in use. if you always wear it around your sweaty neck while hiking then it will quickly degrade so save a bandanna for that. The price is right at $2 a piece and they also have a beach towel that fits in your pocket.
Other towels like the MSR towels do not burn as firestarters are more bulky and less versatile. The feel of the microfiber texture is not good on the skin and they are not great for drying.
Where to Buy
Retailers' Descriptions

Curbing Childhood Obesity
How can parents halt the creeping epidemic that threatens our kids' futures? The solution: Change the environment so they can move more and eat well.
In our push-button, remote-control, car-oriented culture—where pizza makes house calls and kids between the ages of 2 and 17 spend more than three years of their waking lives watching TV— we've created the fattest generation in history.
Waistlines are widening in people of all ages, but "our children, in particular, are gaining weight to a dangerous degree and at an alarming rate," warns the Institute of Medicine of Washington, DC, in a new action plan ("Preventing Childhood Obesity: Health in the Balance") commissioned by Congress to address this growing public health threat. In just 30 years, the prevalence of childhood obesity has soared, with nearly one in three American kids now tipping the scales past healthy weight.
Once dismissed as harmless "baby fat," childhood obesity is increasingly recognized as a serious health threat that can lead to numerous physical ailments such as type 2 diabetes. In fact, one-fourth of obese kids ages 5 to 10 already have at least two components of what is called metabolic syndrome, a cluster of health problems (including insulin resistance, high blood pressure and high cholesterol) that increases the risk of coronary heart disease and diabetes. Overweight kids also are more likely to be ostracized and bullied—or to bully others.
The grim reality is that obesity exerts a life-shortening effect, which threatens to reverse the steady rise in life expectancy observed in the modern era, contends a recent study published in The New England Journal of Medicine. Today's children are on track to be the first generation in U.S. history to live less healthy, and even shorter, lives than their parents.
How did we get this way? Increasingly, experts point to our "obesogenic" environment, which encourages people to eat too much and move too little.
"We live in a world where the energy demands of daily living are at a historic low and the availability of high-calorie, easily obtainable, inexpensive food is at a historic high," notes Harold Kohl, an epidemiologist with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta. "We've created the 'perfect storm' for obesity—particularly for children."
Numerous societal changes have dramatically reduced the amount of energy children burn, while expanding the number of calories they consume. Budget-crunched schools have cut back or eliminated physical education classes—and sometimes even recess. Working parents concerned about safety would rather their kids play video games or watch TV indoors than run around outside. Computers have revolutionized the classroom, entertainment, shopping and communication. Fast food, in "super size" portions, is everywhere—even in some schools—as are vending machines stocked with sodas and chips.
"Our willpower hasn't changed" in just 30 short years, notes Yale University obesity expe...

Colts QB Peyton Manning (neck) is going to dominate the news cycle as he's no longer practicing and is doubtful for Week One. This is a dual week in fantasy football with drafts and Week One preparations. Manning brings a slew of problems: How much does he affect the players around him? On draft day how far do you let him drop? If he's out, how valuable are the skill positions — running back, wide receiver and tight end?
You can still draft Manning for value in the middle rounds, but you better back that pick up with someone like Joe Flacco, Matthew Stafford or a Jay Cutler type. As far as the other positions, why risk a high pick to grab WR Reggie Wayne or TE Dallas Clark? Let someone else risk it. Both players are top-tier but not irreplaceable.
If you've already drafted and are laying out your starting lineup, you can't bench Wayne or Clark, but you sure can temper expectations. View Wayne as a No. 3 fantasy receiver and hope Clark becomes QB Kerry Collins' safety valve and his targets don't dwindle. On the flip side, if you love a value, try to buy low from an owner who feels desperate enough to deal his Colts.
Jennings' season over before it starts
When Jaguars' head coach Jack Del Rio refused to talk about Rashad Jennings' knee injury and whether placing him on injured reserve was a possibility, we figured something bad was up. It felt like the player was already done and the team was keeping us in the dark for no reason. Jennings was entering his third season, a year when the transition to the NFL begins to click and the player goes from a young stud to a mature veteran who lives up to his potential. Instead, with Jennings being placed on I.R., we now turn to RB Deji Karim as the handcuff to Maurice Jones-Drew. The irony is that if you look at the Jags' roster, you'll see they have two running backs in M.J.D. and Karim yet three fullbacks. I would imagine they'll sign a tailback — at least for depth — this week. Karim's only value is as a handcuff.
Cassel gets crushed; Moeaki never got it going
Chiefs head coach Todd Haley is catching heat over keeping QB Matt Cassel and TE Tony Moeaki in the final preseason game well into the second quarter. Packers NT Howard Green and his 340-pound frame flattened Cassel. Reports stated he had the wind knocked out of him, with Haley showing no concern. Now he may miss Week One with a rib injury, which also kills the value of WR Dwayne Bowe. If Cassel can't go, his replacement would be Tyler Palko, a journeyman who's never started a regular-season game. Obviously, this would mean lower expectations for all the skill-position players — Jamaal Charles is now a No. 2 fantasy back and Bowe a No. 3 fantasy receiver. The good news is that Cassel is practicing.
The Chiefs lost Moeaki with a knee injury after he missed most of camp recovering from an injury to the other knee. Right or left knee, he's still going on injured reserve, but Moeaki was already dropping in drafts. He couldn't get on the field, and the Chiefs were having a horrible preseason, forcing owners to look elsewhere. There are other tight ends with greater value and upside like Fred Davis, Evan Moore, Todd Heap and Visanthe Shiancoe. Tight ends are deep, so don't think otherwise.
Is it time to go after Foster?
Right now, fantasy owners are doing their best to try to either trade for or trade away Arian Foster (hamstring). Foster for Jamaal Charles, Foster for Tom Brady and Jermichael Finley, Foster for Andre Johnson. The offers are flying, but realize this: The team and Foster believe the injury is just an aggravation and, with rest, he'll be good to go. You have to take advantage of owners who panic. Foster is still day-to-day but the way his owners are panicking behooves us to begin trade talks.
Running backs ...
Seahawks RB Marshawn Lynch (ankle) is probable and will be ready for Week One. ... Titans RB Javon Ringer (hip) is probable and will be available, but Chris Johnson is back and Ringer's not in game shape. ... Bears RB Marion Barber's calf injury is not serious, but don't play him until we see what his role with the team is, but there's upside here. ... The Browns put RB Brandon Jackson (turf toe) on I.R., ending his season. Look for Peyton Hillis and Montario Hardesty to take his third-down duties.
Receivers ...
We don't know if 49ers WR Michael Crabtree (foot) will be ready for Week One, but we know he's not 100 percent, so sit him until he is. ... Ravens WR Lee Evans (foot) has not practiced with the team since Aug. 27, but head coach John Harbaugh is showing no concern and not filling us in. The Wednesday injury report will tell us where he stands. ... Colts WRs Austin Collie (foot) and Anthony Gonzalez (hamstring) may not be ready for Week One, but keep Collie on your bench until Peyton Manning returns. He has minimal value until then. ... Patriots WR Wes Welker (neck) should be good to go for Week One after dressing and warming up for the final preseason game. He did not play, but all signs point toward him being ready.
Tight ends ...
Redskins TE Chris Cooley (knee) insists he'll be ready to go in Week One, but he has yet to practice and a healthy Fred Davis can get the job done. Dump him and go with a player with more upside, such as Davis, Evan Moore, Visanthe Shiancoe or even Todd Heap (deep sleeper). ... Raiders TE Kevin Boss (knee) may not be ready to play in Week One, so look for alternatives if he's your No. 1, which I hope he's not.
Saints PK Garrett Hartley (hip) is out either 6-8 or 8-10 weeks, depending on which reports you believe. Either way, he's gone, but you do have an alternative in John Kasay, his temporary replacement.

|Friday, November 09, 2012 12:53 PM
St. John's involvement with the program began with eighth-grade Lego Robotics and now has expanded to include fifth-, sixth- and seventh-grade and even high school students. It also includes other activities that help develop STEM skills.
"This year I'm teaching an actual STEM class for seventh and eighth grade every day," Closson said. "The projects we've done using the design process and only limited materials include creating a package to ship a potato chip, the tallest free-standing tower, a display tower and a rescue device. We want them to be exposed to the design process and to have a chance to discover different STEM-related career paths at an early age. We want them to develop an appreciation for these areas."
For Neidert, STEM is part of her fifth- and sixth-grade math classes.
"With my sixth-grade class, we did an activity called 'Tinkering With Tops'," she said. "We started by reading the history on tops and then talked about modern-day applications. In small groups, they drew a top design that they thought would work best and were given everyday, limited supplies to build them. If they needed more of something, they needed to trade with other groups. They would then test and refine their designs and then test them to see whose would spin the longest.
"STEM is an inquiry-based program, it starts with a question. It teaches them about refining a design when it doesn't work, going back to the drawing board. It's also a great way to teach teamwork and communication. They have to communicate their results, what worked and what didn't. They need to help each other. It's great to get them started in fifth and sixth grade, so that when they get to seventh and eighth, they already have some experience."
Neidert is no longer a coach for Lego Robotics but Closson, Rode, MacLennan and Teman are expanding to include two teams.
"We started Lego Robotics last year with one team and did quite well in our first competition," Closson said. "This year, we received a grant for another robotics program called VEX. We've even gone on to include some high school students, too."
STEM isn't your typical learning program. It takes a hands-on approach and allows the students to create their own strategies, which is something they have come to be excited about.
"I had a mom come up to me and tell me that her daughter would never talk about school and now all she can talk about it STEM," Closson said. "I think it's a very different program for them. They don't need to be book smart, they just need to have ideas. When planning for a future career, it's best to start as early as possible. I don't want to say high school is too late but the earlier the better. These areas are often considered tough, engineering especially seems lofty. They need to explore it now, so they can ask 'Am I interested in this? Can I do it'?"

Viktor & Rolf Select The New Class At ITS9-------
Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren—better known simply as Viktor & Rolf—chaired the jury of ITS9, the annual launching-pad competition for young designers in their final year of school, held this weekend in Trieste on Italy's Adriatic Coast. That made good sense: The designers were themselves launched by a young talent competition back in 1992, at France's Festival d'Hyères. They were only 23, and their line, such as it was, was young enough that it didn't even have a name. "I remember when it was announced we had won," Snoeren recalled. "We were asked to come on stage, but we had no name yet, so they just said: 'Viktor & Rolf.' " And the rest, as they say, is history.
The duo and their fellow jurors settled on Takashi Nishiyama, 23, of Japan's Coconogacco design school for the Fashion Collection of the Year prize and its €15,000 award. Nishiyama's collection, with its voluminous layers, was inspired by Monster Hunter, the console video and online game that's become immensely popular in Japan (above left). South Korea's Yong Kyun Shin, 28, a student at Central Saint Martins, won the Fashion Special Collection Creativity award (and €5,000) for his complex women's collection made from tens of thousands of hair pins, some covered with leather (above right.). And Michael Kampe, 23, a student at Belgium's Hogeschool in Antwerp, took the ITS9 Diesel award, which comes with a six-month internship in design at the company and €25,000. His menswear—perhaps more theoretical than wearable—was inspired by the exploded-view drawings and blueprints used by engineers and the artwork of Naoya Hatakeyama, E.V. Day, Lucy McRae, Florian Baudrexel, and Lebbeus Woods. If you get all of those references, an application to ITS10 should probably be in your future.
Finalist Niels Peeraer, 21, from Antwerp's Hogeschool, didn't take an official prize, but he got a pretty nice consolation one: Romain Brau and Anna Kushnerova of Antwerp's new concept store Ra were so taken with his furs, draped silk jersey minidresses, and men in heels that they've promised him an in-store installation and party when Ra hits its first anniversary next fall. "All my friends at school are Japanese, and for as long as I can remember I've thought of myself as a geisha," explains the designer, who has been teaching himself to read and write Japanese. In September, Peeraer will begin his postgraduate studies for a master's in fashion, but this August he's taking his dream trip to Japan, crashing with newfound friends picked up on the cheap—at Couchsurfing.org.

Texas fugitives appear in court
Two armed Texas fugitives arrested after a two-state vehicle and foot pursuit had a first appearance in Scotts Bluff County Court Monday.
26 year old Joshua Carver and 21 year old Alexandrea Pryor appeared before Judge James Worden, who explained that Carver was being held on a charge of being a fugitive from justice for a parole violation and burglary out of Ellis, County, Texas and Pryor on a charge of being a fugitive from justice on a burglary charge out of the same Texas county.
Identity hearings have been scheduled for the pair on Tuesday, February 12th to confirm they are the individuals named in the Texas warrants.
Officers from multiple Nebraska and Wyoming agencies arrested the pair following a pursuit that started near Mitchell Saturday afternoon.
The chase started after a Mitchell Police officer stopped a vehicle just west of Mitchell on Highway 26 and the license plate showed the vehicle belonged to two fugitives wanted for a burglary in Texas. The two were to be considered dangerous, and were accused of stealing one or more assault rifles.
The suspects fled west on Highway 26, and speeds reached 90 miles per hour as the vehicle entered Wyoming and came back into Nebraska north of Henry where a number of officers from both states were converging when the vehicle encountered engine trouble about 3:20 p.m.
At that time, the occupants abandoned the vehicle in a field in Sioux County, about 5 miles north of Henry, and fled on foot.
Carver, the driver, was armed with a loaded 9mm handgun, while Prior was unarmed. The suspects were arrested after a foot pursuit.
A search of the vehicle revealed a scoped AR-15 rifle, a partially loaded magazine, ammunition, and a large number of knives.
No shots were fired, no law enforcement vehicles were damaged, and no one was injured.
Specific local charges are expected to be filed Wednesday following reports from all agencies involved.

The future has arrived at Roskilde Festival. It is called Apparatjik.
With an until now unseen coupling of pop music, quantum theory and rocket science, the four man super group has ventured into the same regions of the galaxy found in the dreams of only the most daring science fiction authors.
A group containing super producer Martin Terefe and members of Mew, Coldplay and a-ha ensures that the music holds a dream-like, floating sensation as well as highly catchy synth melodies. At the same time it is evident that Apparatjik has put on the space suits and severed the connection to our blue-green world.
Expect yet another unique experiment with the concept of concert at Roskilde Festival – equal parts electronic pop party and revolutionary art installation.

SALISBURY, Md. - It's December and that means holiday parades are marching to a town near you.
Salisbury celebrated with its 66th annual Jaycees Christmas Parade and nearly 75 community groups from across the area marched down the streets of Salisbury. It began at Civic Avenue and Mount Hermon Road.
Brian Stiegler with his daughter Amy Claire said, "We're looking to seeing her [Amy Claire's] big sister, who will be carrying the sign for the Bennett High School marching band and her big brother, who will be playing the trumpet for the Bennett Middle School."
The parade ended at 4 p.m. This year's theme was "Superhero Christmas."

D'RAY, I have read your posts before, and although I don't always agree with them, I don't repsond negatively. If you don't like my dislike for our coach, great! But that doesn't make me any less of a fan, nor does it lower my I.Q.
Mr.D'Ray, what you aren't comprehending is that going from head coach to whatever will be out of his control. In this league, you win or go home; period. The guy is not getting it done, and ownership will take notice. I don't "hate" the guy for goodness sakes! But, I do know this; he isn't the same coach he was the first year he came here for whatever reason and he had better turn this sinking ship around or he simply will not be coaching the Bucs next season. If that isn't acceptable, you may just want to stick with watching hockey, okay!?
Game on!!!!!!!
It keeps you responding though....and a hall of famer at that...
Caradoc, you are up to 461 posts! Wow, I hear that when you reach 500 they send you a t-shirt with you post name on it! Keep up the good work, troll?

Today, Girl Gloss features a guest post from Samantha Radakovitz, who I asked to try out some items from Milani Cosmetics. Samantha is studying journalism, with the hope to be a fashion journalist. Here is Samantha's review, with swatches:
I love the Milani Glitzy Glamour Gloss Collection. I have tried four out of the ten shades they have: first class, glow girl, lady like and struck by beauty. They're definitely the type of gloss you would be more likely to wear out at night. They're extremely shinny and moisturizing.
The nice thing is that unlike most lip glosses, it doesn't get sticky. It feels more like you are wearing lip balm. My favorite was struck by beauty, it is the lightest shade of the four I tried. It's close to a bubblegum pink with lots of shimmer. All the colors are extremely bold no matter how dark or light.
Here are a few swabs of the colors I tried. It is hard to show the exact color through my camera, but you can see the basic idea of how much the colors stand out.

We just finished a pretty good 7 day Caribbean cruise on the Nieuw Amsterdam. Grand Turk was cancelled, which was fine with us since we've been there and were just planning on a day at the beach. The cancellation meant an extra sea day, and 12 hours in San Juan, both major plusses. We did hiking excursions in both San Juan and St. Marten. Both EXCELLENT tours but EXHAUSTING (HAL should really stress the physical nature of these hiking trips because some of the older folks had a very difficult time.) Half Moon Cay was beautiful.
The Nieuw Amsterdam is still beautiful and sparkling, even with a dry dock coming up in three weeks. The food was excellent all around, and our outside 'spa' cabin was HUGE with a HUGE window overlooking the ship's bow. The only drawback, albeit a major one, was that this ship was CROWDED! The 200 additional passengers compared to our cruise on the Vista Class Westerdam were felt more often than not.
We picked the Nieuw because it was HAL's newest and we wanted to experience all the new Signature Class bells and whistles. What we found were those bells and whistles are not worth the 200 extra passengers packed into the exact same amount of public space as the Vista class (Tamarind and Silk Den were always empty so they don't count.) Embarkation and Disembarkation were slow and disorganized, our beloved Thalasso pool and Thermal Suite were always crowded, there were actually chair hogs in the Cabana Club since the Cabanas were booked by many families and there weren't enough lounge chairs to go around! The Cabana Club stewards were excellent, and it was very convenient to have a place to drop our things. But it was open from 9 AM to 5 PM and the hours were enforced, which limited the daily amount of time we could use it, especially when in port. There was no 'light breakfast' as advertised, and the 'daily setup' of fruit and water got pretty sad as they day warmed up.
In general it seemed like there were people everywhere on this ship, with no quiet places to get away from it all (i.e. combining a library and the Crow's Nest lounge with a nightly guitarist is a bad idea), which is why our overall rating is a 3. From now on we'll stick to HAL's smaller ships

South Kingstown is the newest location opening in 2013 of Rock Spot Climbing's multiple locations, where colorful footholds and route markers sprawl along artificial rocks create diverse climbing surfaces for every major discipline. Dozens of top-rope stations challenge climbers to scale the wall in safety, whether belayed by a human companion or hooked up to an auto-belay unit that reduces the risk of conversation. Meanwhile, others eschew ropes in order to tackle bouldering routes—low-altitude obstacles littered with arches, steep faces, and caves—and lead climbers set their own anchors as they scale the wall. The climbing courses vary for all skill levels, ranging from sheer faces with ample handholds to cliffs for expert climbers and lemmings. Cardio machines let athletes warm up or cool down between climbs, and instructors lead afterschool classes to teach kids the art of competitive climbing.
The land surrounding the Narrow River is a prime example of Rhode Island's varied natural splendor, which includes sandy beaches, lush forests, green fields, marshland, and sand banks. Narrow River Kayaks puts it all within reach, equipping locals and visitors with a variety of vessels, including canoes, kayaks, and stand-up paddleboards.
Once boated up, you can paddle your way across the Pettaquamscutt Watershed area for a relaxed day of fishing, picnicking, spotting wildlife, or making kissy faces at your own reflection in the river. With outdoor showers, changing tents, and portable restrooms onsite, Narrow River Kayaks assures aquatic adventurers a comfortable time in the great outdoors. The shop also sells new and used kayaks, and can set up all boaters with items such as dry bags, waterproof containers, and personal flotation devices for jaunts past the John H. Chafee Wildlife Refuge and the Kettle Ponds.
Before helming Paddle Board RI, John Andel was working as an IT consultant, itching to hop onto his board as the hours crept by each day. An erstwhile surfer, scuba diver, and spear fisher, John had encountered standup paddleboarding while visiting Costa Rica and fell in love with the aquatic pastime faster than two cupids in an archer's duel. "You get a whole different perspective," he says of standing up on the board. "Sometimes you can see 20 feet down into the water."
Drawn to the sport's flexibility, John has engineered a diverse selection of tours, including the full-moon paddle, the business's most popular tour, which takes groups out on quiet waters to gaze up at the glowing orb and stake out real estate for the moon colonies of the future. Another tour, the Tuckered Dog, invites pooches to hop on board with their owners at a dog-friendly pond. Paddle Board RI also offers classes from introductory lessons to less traditional options, such as paddleboard yoga taught by a certified yoga instructor, meditative sunrise sessions, and muscle-sculpting workout classes.
Although his business has taken off, Andel still leads the vast majority of the tours: at the heart of the venture still beats his own passion for being out on the water and sharing his love of paddleboarding with others. "We're not just a rental company," he says. "We're about enjoying the water."
The Rhode Island Duckpin Bowlers Association strives to keep its namesake sport alive by hosting duckpin-bowling tournaments at six local alleys. The game cropped up in a Baltimore bowling alley in the summer of 1900, when most ten-pin alleys were closed for warm months to avoid excessive sweating in rental shoes. But at Diamond Alleys, athletes hurled balls through the heat but opted for 6-inch spheres and pins of a diminutive stature. After observing pins that scattered like a flock of ducks, the owners of the lanes dubbed the modified game duckpin bowling. Besides granting players three rolls per turn, duckpin bowling adhered to all traditional rules and grew in popularity until it peaked in 1967, the year inertia was exposed as a myth. Today, the Rhode Island Duckpin Bowlers Association keeps the pastime alive at spots including the Bowling Academy, a historical gem in its own right as the test site of the first automatic duckpin pinsetters.
Snappa Charters specializes in giving people the thrill of their lives. This boat charter team runs shark-cage-diving tours, where patrons can swim with blue, mako, and basking sharks from the safety of an anodized-aluminum cage in the water or from a snorkeling platform above the water. To be the hunter instead of the hunted, attend a sports-fishing excursion and seek out sea bass, cod, and fluke. Those wanting more time on the water can also go on whale-watching, lighthouse-spotting, and birding tours. Snappa also happily organizes private boating excursions for fun corporate events or bachelor parties for bachelors wondering exactly how many fish are in the sea.
Accredited by the National Surf Schools & Instructors Association, Peter Pan Surfing Academy helps beachgoers wade into the world of surfing and standup paddleboarding. Seven days a week throughout the year, instructors equip both children and adults with wetsuit rentals and a wide selection of hard, soft, epoxy, fiberglass surfboards. The company also holds surf and skimboard camps for intensive study.

Lake Erie College Receives $300,000 Challenge Grant From Alumna
(PAINESVILLE, OHIO) – Last year, Lake Erie College was able to meet a $150,000 challenge grant initiated by alumna Carol Lewis Morris '67 in honor of the College's sesquicentennial. Morris now pledges an additional $300,000 to the College to encourage increased or new gifts to the annual fund.
The Morris Challenge will match any new contribution to the Lake Erie College Fund on a two-to-one basis. The total grant will be a maximum of $300,000 and will cover contributions made between October 1, 2006 and June 30, 2007 or until the challenge value has been met.
"The College is appreciative of Carol's ongoing generosity and commitment to inspire others to support the College," said President Michael Victor. "We are fortunate to have Carol and other alumni who care so deeply about their alma mater."
Morris, who was recently named a Sesquicentennial Fellow award winner during recent Alumni Weekend festivities, has been extremely generous in supporting her alma mater since graduation. In addition to giving regularly to the annual fund, she was instrumental in initiating the Skinner organ preservation project with a generous lead gift. She resides in New York, N.Y. with her husband Robert.
Founded in 1856, Lake Erie College is a dynamic and progressive institution of higher education, offering 26 undergraduate majors and master's degrees in business administration and education. This coeducational college, grounded in the liberal arts, enrolls just over 1,000 students of all ages and is nationally recognized for its equine studies programs and international learning opportunities for students.

Chaucer's Pub / Marienbad Restaurant
Ratings: 9 | Reviews: 9 | Display Reviews Only:
Ontario (Canada)
3.45/5 rDev -15%
EDIT - JUNE 2011: on a recent visit with mrmanning, they had Triple Karmeliet and Lindemans Cassis in bottles and Delirium Tremens and Pilsner Urquell on tap. I'm glad that they're keeping things going despite lacking knowledgeable management and staff.
Chaucer's has declined ever since the departure of Milos Kral to Gambrinus, and it has yet to find an adequate replacement. Granted, some of the bar's better attributes remain, but it's now a mere shadow of what it used to be.
Atmosphere is the main attraction with an inviting sit-down bar, plenty of wooden tables and chairs, a cozy fireplace, and strange, Old World memorabilia on the walls. Crowd is mostly academics, single malt drinkers, and beer geeks.
Service is acceptable in that the waitresses are friendly and relatively quick, but they don't know much about beer. The servers also tend to close the bar long before its purported closing hours, one of the drawbacks of employees running the show.
Chaucer's beer selection is mostly solid LCBO offerings with a few hard-to-find imports. American beers are Brooklyn Lager, DFH 60 Minute, Southern Tier Porter, and Victory Prima Pils. Good taps include Hacker Pschorr Munchner Gold, Palm Amber Ale, Mill Street Tankhouse, and Caledonian 80. The Belgians are Maredsous 6/8/10, Chimay Blue, Floreffe Dubbel, St. Bernardus 12, Tripel, and Wit, and the Rochefort line. They also carry regular and seasonal beers from Railway City Brewing, the region's local micro brewery.
Marienbad is the restaurant next door to Chaucer's and, luckily, pub patrons can enjoy its stellar food. The menu is Central European dishes like schnitzel, goulash, and chicken paprikash, all of which are delicious. These items certainly give Chaucer's a leg-up in the food department. In terms of value, I would say everything is 'reasonably' priced.
Overall, it remains the case that Chaucer's is a lovely place to enjoy an appetizing meal and quality beer. The bar is probably the 6th best beer spot in the London area, but the Marienbad owners could do a lot more to differentiate their bar from other places in the city. Hopefully some new management can restore this place to its former greatness.

Located in downtown London, this place is the city's best kept secret. A warm fireplace and old wooden fixtures make you feel at home. The bottle list includes some hard to find belgians for this area, some american micros including dogfish head. Also bottle from Unibroue. On tap are some quebec micros like Unibroue, and lots of belgians like Affligem Blond and Hoegarrden. I was suprised to find the forbidden fruit there too. The food is awesome, and you should try the schnitzel, really. Worth a visit! Feb 09 2011- A new review reveals less beer selection, smaller menu, and a staggering decline overall. Still good, but not what it once was.

This place has had it, but the early reviews inflated its rating. Years ago, Milos (now General manager of Chauncey Smith down the road)established a mostly very good (for Ontario)bottle selection. Some of the bottles remain, but it is a shadow of its former self as time passes and noone is at the helm in the beer department. Decent size, though not huge. Bar is tiny. Only the one Mill Street Tankhouse tap, though a couple of imports including fullers made this a little oasis. Walk over to Chauncey Smith.

Chaucer's is a truly world-class pub nestled in the heart of provincial Canada ... our little, old London. It has been my pub of choice for the past two years, and it has never let me down for quality, service, or selection.
The atmosphere in Chaucer's is rustic and reticent. The walls are decked with Central European paraphernalia ... swords and steins and carved figures. And on bleak winter nights, there is usually a large fire roaring in the hearth. An old piano sits quietly in the corner -- occaisionally played once someone has drunk up enough courage to do so -- but there is otherwise little noise except the friendly conversation (and rapping upon the tables) of other patrons. The crowd at Chaucer's is diverse; pensive university students and jolly old-timers alike seek out its homey comforts. Rarely is the place over-crowded, and just as rarely is it empty. It is a place that inspires attention and devotion from a healthy group of aficionados.
The quality and selection of beer, at least for London, is unparalleled. While the draft selection is fairly pedestrian, though not without a few occaisional delights, the bottle beer list is staggering. The publican has lavished special attention on Belgian beer, and trappist/abbey offerings abound. There are usually a few magnums on hand as well, with names like Chimay and Gouden Carolus on the label ... perfect for a special treat to share with friends. The Canadian and US craft selection is smaller, but of no less quality, and there are often a few surprises from the UK to be found as well. The management here works closely with private importers to ensure you can sample beers unavailable from the Ontario liquor stores.
The servers are friendly and knowledgable, and the food is excellent. Central European fine dining with prices to match -- but considering the quality, there is still good value. A trip to London would not be complete without a stop here. Cheers!
Things have gone downhill here in the last year or so. The decline is a disturbing trend likely brought about by the departure of Milos Kral, the previous manager who is now doing fabulous things in his new digs, Chancey Smith's Steakhouse (see barfly review). Beer selection is dwindling and the list is now, frankly, boring. They still manage to keep a good selection of Trappists, but everything else is lacklustre; every beer here and many more can be had down the road at Chancey's.
Some of the more beer-savvy servers have also moved on, and their replacements have nowhere near the knowledge or interest in the beer as the old guard did. The beer list is never up-to-date, and no one seems to know what is in stock at any given time. This bar is becoming quite obviously less beer-focused.
The place is still notable for its ambiance and the food, and so these ratings remain unchanged. It's still worth visiting from time to time, but I am sorry to say that it is merely a shadow of its former self.

This refers to Chaucer's - Marienbad was having a Murder Mystery Night when I was there.
If you're ever in London, Ontario this is the place to go for craft beer. Tap selection is pretty standard for Canada, although I was surprised to find Brooklyn on-tap. They had a feature of Christmas brews (Gouden Carolus, Wychwood, etc.) and also have a very good selection of Belgian and UK bottles (although they were out of Thomas Hardy's...)
Had a St. Bernardus ABT 12, a Cuvee van de Kaiser, and a Samichlaus - all were resonably priced, especially for Canada, and served in the appropriate glassware.
Food was very good - loved the Stilton chicken, and my family enjoyed the mushroom penne, Schnitzel, and chicken Marsala.
Service was good, although in the afternoon there was only one server and she was a little too busy. Both servers I've experienced have been very friendly and knowledgeable - they clearly like beer too.
Basically, if this were in Chicago it'd be a pretty average place, but in London, Ontario this is top-notch.

This place is a great for a lot of reasons. Very old style, fireplace, no music, reminds me of Cheers. Good cross section of people, some are very classy, old people and a few students too. Beer menu is pretty long and has descriptions. They also way cases of some pretty sick beer that they constantly change. Some is not available at the LCBO. Uh, good glassware, knowledgable staff. Great place to go and have a few pints. I can't really say enough good things about this pub. Its definately what London needs. Has a nice patio in the summer and a fire place for the winter nights when ur downing oatmeal stout. It's on Carling, across from Up

This definitely is the cities best kept secret! As soon as we walked in we were serenaded by violinists, what a great atmosphere. Beers I've never heard of line the shelves, lots of beers on tap including Hacker-pschorr, Caledonian, Leffe, Brooklyn and the best : Tankhouse Ale.
The selection on tap is not huge but it is the best variety in London for sure. The selection of bottles is very extensive, many you cannot get in the LCBO including Westmalle, Southern Tier and many others.
The outdoor patio is nice, the service is great, I will return here sometime to try their food. Very impressive!

As noted previously, the city's best kept secret. Crowd is generally either university students and 40+. Awesome selection with a focus on providing the best of many countries and lots of styles. Small but cozy patio, nice wood paneled interior with a large warming hearth. Specializes in Belgians (my favourite) and has some real gems in that category especially as an Ontario bar (selection generally around 52).
Examples unavailable at the LCBO include aged (04,06) Chimay Blue (yes!) (and unaged Blue), various magnums, St Bernadus, Rochefort (8 & 10), Maredsous(6, 8, 10), Achel, and other awesome picks including Koenigshoeven, Dogfish Head, and Southern Tier.
However they are picked on a rolling basis so don't go in expecting all of the above. Consistent selection of generally available Belgians (Chimay Red and White, Duvel, Unibroue) and some handpicked Canadian craft and microbrews. Also rolling local selection.
There is also a decent scotch selection and a stellar menu including lots of savoury Czech dishes. I recommend the red cabbage, fish and chips, Wenceslas cheese, and steak tartare. Although the value on the food isn't spectacular, every food I've had I've been very happy with.
Service is good and reasonably prompt, waiters are very friendly. They don't know a ton about the beer they serve but make decent recommendations and understand and are patient with the beer geek segment. They have a 'Beer Passport' event in which you try one beer from each country they offer (not in one night).
They lost their Czech bartender a few weeks ago, so its future is uncertain. I will update if changes occur.
In short if you are a beer fan (especially Belgians) who happens to be in the area Chaucer's is a necessary visit.
Edit May 08: Had many imported Belgians available... Gouden Carolus, St. Bernardus, Chimay Blue, and a bunch of Southern Tier's lineup. Always something new in bottles.
In my opinion one of the best bars west of Toronto, and although it lacks the superb Ontario selection of some of Toronto's finest, it has a great atmosphere, friendly staff, and most importantly, a carefully chosen bottle selection.

They have 12 taps. Ten of them are fairly standard, but two the specialty taps get some nice stuff rotated through. They had Hacker-Pschorr Dunkle Weisse in the spring.
By the bottle they have more than 20 Belgians and an assortment of other brews from around the world.
The service as the Marienbad is exceptional, Chaucer's is a little more average.
This Czech restaurant has some really nice continental cuisine (portions are a little smaller than what you find in Europe). Last night I had Jager Schnitzel and finished it off with Amoretto palačinky for dessert.

Tobolsk is a small Siberian town sited on a high bank of the Irtysh river down from confluence with Tobol river. Founded in 1587 by Cossacks leader Yermak it was the capital of Siberia in the olden days and one of first Russian towns here. Being prosperous town on the route from East to West with active economical and cultural life Tobolsk began to decline when the general railroad bypassed it in 1890s.
It is the only town in Siberia and one of the few in Russia which has a stone kremlin. It was built at the turn of 17th and 18th centuries. Lots of famous people passed these walls and left or didn't a trace here. The last Russian Emperor Nicholas II and his family were exiled there before being executed in 1918. By the way, the Tobolsk prison has a good reputation -- nobody has escaped it ever for all years the prison exists.

Index series A-Z
In May 2005, FTSE Group enhanced its coverage of the Alternative Investment Market (AIM) by updating and renaming the existing index, and launching two new tradable indices for the market. The series has been renamed as the FTSE AIM Index Series, and comprises two new large cap indices, and the re-launched FTSE AIM Index. In May 2006, FTSE Group together with the London Stock Exchange added the FTSE AIM All-Share Supersector Indices to the existing series:
This is the first time the AIM market has had a set of indices constructed using FTSE's world-class liquidity and free float methodologies. The enhanced methodology for the benchmark FTSE AIM All-Share will ensure that it provides an accurate representation of the investment opportunity.
The new tradable indices segment the market in a new way and have been designed to be used as the basis for a wide variety of index-linked products. The new sector indices can be used for identifying macroeconomic opportunities for investment and trading decisions.
It is the first time that the AIM market has ever benefited from sector-based provision making it easy to differentiate between the performance of official list and AIM companies in a given supersector.

In the end, the first-round NHL playoff series between the New York Rangers and Ottawa Senators broke according to seed: The top-seeded Rangers advanced past the eighth-seeded Senators after a 2-1 victory in Game 7.
But the close-as-can-be manner -- the Rangers outscoring the Senators just 14-13 over seven games -- made for an entertaining series that has both franchises excited about the direction of their respective clubs.
For the Rangers, being stretched to Game 7 with the Senators just one shot away from forcing overtime may have looked too close for comfort, but it was the kind of closeness the Rangers are, well, quite comfortable with.
"They ramped it up on us there [in the] second half of the third [period]," minimalist Rangers coach John Tortorella managed to say in the post-game press conference. "But that's the true identity of our team there: Everyone blocking shots ... Hank [Henrik Lundqvist] made some key saves at key times."
Tortorella also praised the Rangers' kids like Chris Kreider, the rookie fresh from college who forced a turnover to create Marc Staal's opening goal and earned Tortorella's trust to be on the ice in the waning minutes of a one-goal game in Game 7.
For the Senators, they were never supposed to be here -- not this soon, not taking the conference's top seed this far. A team that entered the 2011-12 season in a rebuild mode and had an October marked by ugly losses befitting that description, the Senators took off under rookie coach Paul MacLean and into a playoff position most of the season.
"A great series," MacLean said after the series. "But we're really excited about our team and the steps we took season [after] how we started. We talked all season about building blocks and building blocks and building a foundation. The last month we really grew as a team. ... We're really pleased with our group going hoe."
With a blossoming star like Erik Karlsson and a team concept that evolved over the season, the Senators have bright signs to give them hope even in defeat.
With rookies like Carl Hagelin and Kreider quickly adapting and adding to the cause, the Rangers advance to the second round with reason to believe they're even better than they were at the start of this first-place season.

Lynchburg, VA – After a nice long winter break, you may have had a tough morning getting everyone out the door and back to school after winter break.
The education experts at Successful Innovations in Lynchburg have a few ideas to get back on track.
"I think parents need to kind of review and reinforce the school rules as well as home rules for when school starts up again. Just to kind of remind them of the expectations and what they are to do as they get ready for school," said Stefanie Prokity from Successful Innovations.
That includes sticking to bedtimes and schedules.
