How to make the Autumn Piper cocktail from Levant in Portland, OR/
We checked back in to see what cocktails Levant was shaking up, and fell for the Autumn Piper which mixes Indonesian Long Pepper Infused Cachaça the popular Brazilian liquor made from fresh sugarcane juice, earthy Fernet Vallet, and rich sweetness of Cherry Heering, and orange juice.
Autumn Piper
3/4 oz Indonesian long pepper infused cachaça (Novo Fogo Silver)
3/4 oz Fernet Vallet
3/4 oz Cherry Heering
3/4 oz Fresh Orange Juice
Served up in a coup with a flamed orange peel
Their other cocktails are equally inventive, so we'll be sure to be posting more cocktails soon, and while I don't normally review food here, you are seriously missing out if you go just for the drinks. Make a night of it and you won't regret it.

BOSTON (AP) - The lawyer overseeing the Boston Marathon bombings victims' fund says the families of 3 people who died could each receive more than $1 million.
Kenneth Feinberg says he plans to unveil a tentative compensation proposal on Monday in advance of meetings with victims.
Feinberg, the Massachusetts native who oversaw the 9/11 compensation fund, tells The Boston Globe (http://bo.st/123KzGs ) victims who lost more than one limb in the April 15 attack would receive a similar amount, while those who lost a single limb would probably receive close to $1 million each.
People who suffered other physical injuries would receive smaller amounts based on the extent of their injuries and the length of their hospital stay.
The One Fund had more than $28 million as of Friday.

Overview: Located in Red Bank's Marine Park, Boondocks is a small taste of Key West on the Navesink with an incredible view. Boondocks is only open in the summer, so you only have a couple of months to try this fresh Fishery on the Navesink.
Decor: Boondocks is set up to look like one of those fish shacks you would see down south. It is a small red building that houses the kitchen with a tent. Under the tent are tables with an "Order Here" sign linking the two. The building itself has old-fashioned fishing signs modestly advertising "Lobster" and "Crabs," but the beautiful view of the Navesink River is what makes the décor!
The Drinks: Boondocks is B.Y.O.B. and also serves a variety of soft drinks.
Appetizers: Appetizers are plentiful here at Boondocks with "fresh catch" items such as Steamers (market price) and Grilled Tuna Bites ($8.95) as well as traditional Mozzarella Sticks ($6.95). We ordered the Cajun Grilled Tuna Bites. The Bites were large seared pieces of tuna seasoned with a hint of Cajun spice. Even though we shared the appetizer, Boondocks' Tuna Bites were large enough to feed one person for an entrée!
Entrees: Boondocks entrée menu was filled with fresh fish specialties like a Fresh Grouper Sandwich ($12.95) and fresh Fish Burrito ($11.95). The Lobster Roll ($14.95) is the specialty of the house and came with large pieces of fresh lobster made into a lobster salad on a roll. And the Shrimp Roll ($12.95) was a delicious mix of shrimp, avocado, and fresh tomato mixed with vinaigrette on a roll. Both came with chips, pickle and cole slaw.
Desserts: Boondocks does not offer dessert, but if you still have room after your meal, you could easily walk into Red Bank for a cupcake or another sweet treat.
Service: Boondocks is self order – the waitress hands you the menu, then you go to the window and order your meal. Once ordered, they hand you a large hand painted number to place on your table. When your order is up, a waitress brings you your food. This method really lends itself to the casual atmosphere of Boondocks.
Signature Dish: Tuesday is Lobster Night at Boondocks. You get two 1-pound lobsters for $24.95. Get there early, because I hear the lobsters go fast!

The idea that Linux is free and companies can save a lot of money by switching is a myth, he adds, one of many myths surrounding Linux deployment. "This has been a typical understanding, but a lot of organizations that have explored that have found that there's more to it," he says.
As a result, Gartner hasn't been seeing much interest in switching to Linux on the desktop, he says. "We get a lot more questions about switching to Macs than switching to Linux at this point, even though Macs are more expensive."
There has been more interest in open source software and operating systems in Europe and Latin America, Silver says. "But even that has been tapering off."
But the single biggest disadvantage Linux has on the desktop is in applications, says Patrick Gray, president of business strategy consultancy Prevoyance Group.
"Traditionally, Linux has been a bit more difficult to install, use, and manage, but much of that has been assuaged with variants like Ubuntu," he says. "But despite narrowing the usability gap, Linux still lacks many commercial-grade applications."
Where substitutes are available, he adds, most are not supported, or don't have the full feature sets of the commercial variants.
Plus, most professionals tend to be familiar with the leading commercial software products for the work that they do -- the open source alternatives may require additional training, or cause productivity problems.
"While Linux is free, the cost of a large company to train users, and support these applications, will likely offset the software licensing expense [of Windows]," Gray says.
The oddest places to find Linux
"The reason isn't security, usability or any other technology shortcoming," confirmed Mark Hinkle, director of the cloud computing community at Citrix Systems. "The inhibitor for adoption is applications."
Under Linux, he says, users can check their email, browse the Web, and use an office suite. "The problem is that things like custom billing apps, SAP, desktop productivity apps from Adobe and industry-specific apps are developed solely for the Windows desktop," he says.
Many applications are already moving to a cloud-based or browser-based delivery model, he adds. Those apps can run on any operating system with a browser, or on any smart mobile device. At that point, companies can start looking at Linux more seriously.
"Until then, Linux adoption on the desktop will be stifled."
According to Gartner's Silver, a typical organization will have one application for every 10 users, and, today, about half of those applications require the Windows operating system.
"That percentage has been declining, but still, it's pretty high," Silver says. "So if I have 10,000 users, and 1,000 applications, 500 of those applications will need Windows to run."
One intermediary solution, says Citrix' Hinkle, is to run a virtualized version of Windows on top of Linux, such as with Citrix XenClient or VMware, or use remote desktops such as Citrix XenDesktop, for those users who need specific Windows applications. "For example, the Google Chrome Netbooks complemented with apps redisplayed from a Citrix XenApp installation could be a very interesting solution for a number of users."
Virtual desktops can also be used to provide access to legacy apps for users of smart mobile devices, as well.

A total of 30 acres of property located between Jeep Parkway and the Ottawa River cannot be reused for industrial purposes as part of the Overland Industrial Park redevelopment project, so the plan is to return that land to nature.
For nearly 40 years, Ron Tollison worked at the former Jeep Parkway facility and used the parking lot, which is now an asphalt wasteland.
"39 years I parked in that parking lot. Some of my family retired from there, along with myself. Best place I ever worked at," said Tollison.
A measure before Toledo City Council calls for the city to commit $113,000 for designing a plan with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to remove the asphalt and convert the vacant lot into a storm water park, a new wetland area right next to the Ottawa River.
"That will basically accept the storm water drainage from the Overland Industrial Park site - once it's developed - and create a nice wetland feature," said Tim Murphy, Toledo Environmental Services commissioner.
Murphy says the project is part of city efforts to no longer be considered a responsible party for damage to the Ottawa River watershed.
"The remediation of the Ottawa River, the clean-up of contaminated sediment is done now. The goal is to basically restore the river to its natural state," said Murphy.
With work expected to begin next year, Tollison says any change will be a good thing.
"At least they'll be doing something with it, rather than letting it sit there like it has been. That'll be alright turning it back to nature," said Tollison.

NFL Championships : 1927 1934 1938 1956 Super Bowl Champions: XXI XXV XLII XLVI
Sounds interesting. SMH.
2014 Our Picks "Don't you just love this draft?! "#Sexy
Round, Player, Position
1) Pick- Odell Beckham Jr.! /WR
2) Pick- Weston Richburg /C
3) Pick- Jay Bromley /DT
4) Pick- Andre Williams! /RB
5) Pick- Nat Berhe! /SS
5) Pick- Devon Kennard /LB (Comp.)
6) Pick- Bennett Jackson /CB
looks like we're finally going to get some snow up here
they say NYC going to get whalloped, good luck all there
this draft I am hoping and praying that the O-Line gets addressed primarily, followed by the DBs.
But with Canty gone, Linval Joseph and Rocky are going to have to be major. I am afraid that Marvelous Marvin Austin may be a bust and who knows if Shaun Rodgers even sees the field?
I also think Tyler Sash gets released along with Keith "Owie" Rivers.
I think Tracy and Ojomo will get the nod and hopefully Kiwanuka goes back to his natural DE position along with Tuck.
At this point our D is gashed open and we have needs at all levels. All levels.
Plus we got to figure out a way to keep Bennett at TE...
this will be a very different looking Team in 2013-14, God willing...
NFL Championships : 1927 1934 1938 1956 Super Bowl Champions: XXI XXV XLII XLVI
shame to hear Bradshaw was let go.
i think Bautista thinks he'll be good. the Jays have had their share of good hitters turn crap after wrist injuries though (V Wells L Overbay )

Aspen reviews 14 mph speed limit to alert drivers
ASPEN, Colo. (AP) - Aspen city council members are considering a 14 mph speed limit in a residential area of the Colorado mountain town in attempt to get the attention of drivers and have them slow down.
Residents say few drivers are obeying the current 25 mph speed limit and are ignoring other efforts to protect people.
The Aspen Times ( http://tinyurl.com/9wlktaz) reports Mayor Mick Ireland suggested an 18 mph limit because the number is out of the ordinary for a speed limit. After further discussion, council members decided to drop the proposed limit down to 14 mph.

It's the training season for the 2010 wint er Olympics. World-class snowboarder Kevin Pearce swings up the half pipe and launches into the air. He spins into a double cork 1080. It's one of t he toughest moves in his – or any – repertoire\, and he comes back down\, hard and fast\, towards the ramp. The tail end of his board catches the ic e. He falls forward with no time to put out his arms. His full weight land s on his head and neck. Academy Award-winning documentarian Lucy Walker's film seamlessly combines twenty years of stunning action footage with vérité footage and interviews as it follows Kevin and exposes the irr esistible but potentially fatal appeal of extreme sports. An escalating ri valry between Kevin and his nemesis Shaun White in the run-up to the 2010 Olympics leaves Shaun on top of the Olympic podium and Kevin in a coma fol lowing his accident. Kevin's tight-knit Vermont family flies to his side a nd helps him rebuild his life as a brain injury survivor. But when he insi sts he wants to return to the sport he still loves\, his family intervenes with his eloquent brother David speaking for all of them when he says\, " I just don't want you to die." Kevin's doctors caution him that even a sma ll blow to the head could be enough to kill him. Will Kevin defy them and insist on pursuing his passion? With his now impaired skills\, what other options does he have? How much risk is too much?\n\n

Did you know that your shopping personality could be costing you money at the grocery store? It's true! But whatever "type" of shopper you are, our Coupon Mom has some easy tips you can use to save money on your next trip to the supermarket.
Stephanie Nelson is the founder of CouponMom.com and says people have different approaches to shopping for groceries."There are really three types of shopping personalities," says Stephanie. "But regardless of what your personality is, you can save money at the grocery store."
The first type of shopper is the "busy shopper," and that's the person who really doesn't have any time to spend planning the shopping trip and using coupons. That's okay. Your first step when you walk in the store is to stop and get the store ad and make a list on the fly. Start by looking at the front page, because generally speaking, the very best sales are on the front page.Once you've made your list, Stephanie says stick to the perimeter of the store -- the dairy, meat and produce departments."You want to stay away from the expensive areas like the gourmet department, or the deli, or the bakery, where they have enticing displays of full-priced items," says Stephanie.If you're a busy shopper, Stephanie says follow her "perimeter shopping only" advice and you could save 30 to 35 percent on your next grocery bill. "Now the second kind of shopper is the 'rookie shopper,' and that's the shopper who's willing to spend maybe half an hour planning their shopping before they leave home," says Stephanie.In addition to carefully choosing the sales from the circular, she suggests checking your fridge and pantry to make sure you don't buy items you already have, clipping coupons from the newspaper and printing additional coupons off the web."And by doing that you'll be able to save 50 percent on your groceries by only spending half an hour planning before you left home," says Stephanie.Stephanie calls the third type of shopper the "varsity shopper.""And that's the person who thinks this is a fun game. It's a sport, and they're willing to spend a lot of time if it means they can save a lot of money," says Stephanie.She says the varsity shopper dissects multiple store sales flyers to cherry-pick the best deals, then adds their coupons on top of those, and brings extra coupons to the store in case of any unadvertised deals."You may spend a total of one to two hours a week as a varsity shopper, but you may save 80 percent on your grocery bill," says Stephanie.So whatever your shopping personality is, remember what the Coupon Mom says … you can always find ways to save money at the grocery store!

Soft Tissue Injuries - Bruises, Cuts, and Punctures
Emergency Room Horror Stories
Readers share their emergency room horror stories. How long did you wait? Were you the emergency that was missed? Tell your story.
Pictures of Injuries
It's hard to know what some injuries look like just from their descriptions. As the saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words. These pictures submitted by About.com First Aid readers help illustrate different injuries.See submissions
Road Rash
Road rash treatment is similar to caring for burns. Road rash is the common term for rubbing off part or all of the skin. The medical term is skin abrasion.
Should I Use Neosporin on My Cut?
Neosporin, also known as triple antibiotic ointment, is a cream containing three antibiotics: neomycin, bacitracin, and polymyxin. Triple antibiotic ointment is used on minor cuts and abrasions to prevent infection and encourage healing. Some folks are big believers of triple antibiotic ointments while others feel they are unnecessary. So, you...
Stop Drop and Roll
Burning clothes create a serious emergency. Learn how to respond when your clothes are on fire.
Topical Medications for Itchy and Painful Skin
Even if you've largely outgrown skinned knees and banged-up elbows, you might get scratches and scrapes, along with the occasional itchy spot. Although these conditions might not be serious enough for a doctor's care, you shouldn't ignore them because they could get infected. There are many over-the-counter (OTC) skin medications available.
Treat a Blister
How to treat a blister from friction on foot or elsewhere. Follow these steps to drain and dress blisters.
Stages of Frostbite Video
Frostbite occurs when freezing temperatures damage body tissue. Learn about the different stages of frostbite and how to check for frostbite on yourself or someone else.
Determining the Severity of a Burn
There are several factors used to determine if a burn is critical enough to necessitate a specialty burn center. Any burn that matches the criteria warrants a call to 911.
Acute Low Back Pain
Most people will experience acute low back pain sometime in their lives. Recognizing the symptoms of low back pain and knowing what to expect from treatment can help to avoid a prolonged episode.
Burned Surface Area
Measuring the size of a burn is difficult because every person is different in size, shape and weight. A square foot of burned surface area is much worse to a person who weighs 130 pounds than it is to someone who weighs 200 pounds.
Degrees of Burns
Determining the severity of a burn includes establishing how deep the damage goes into or through the skin. Burn thickness in most burn units is classified by degree -- the higher the number, the worse the burn.
Layers of the Skin
The layers of the skin are a lot like the layers of soil in a flowerbed. Each has its use and all the skin layers (or soil) work together to provide nutrients and protection for the stuff growing in it.
Treat a Gunshot Wound
Gunshot wounds are unpredictable puncture wounds that cause major tissue damage. Three factors work together to determine the severity of a gunshot wound: location, mass and velocity of the projectile.
Treat an Avulsion
Avulsions can be difficult to look at because of the amount of damage they cause. They are common in animal bites and motorcycle accidents. Learn to treat an avulsion.
Treat a Puncture Wound
Puncture wounds can be serious if deep enough. The most important considerations are bleeding control and infection.
Treat a Laceration
A laceration is a cut in the skin from a sharp object. Control bleeding and clean a laceration before anything else.
Give First Aid for a Black Eye
Black eyes are fairly common and the first aid for a black eye is very simple. However, black eyes can indicate serious injury, especially if there are two black eyes appearing at the same time.
Do I Need Stitches?
Some open wounds will benefit from stitches while others may not. Learn the difference before you head to the emergency room.
Treat an Impaled Object
Impaled objects are items that have punctured the skin and body tissue and are left in place. Impaled objects are difficult to treat because they are akward and dangerous to remove. Learn about impaled objects.

Testicular Torsion
Caused by a twisted spermatic cord, testicular torsion is a real emergency. If not surgically repaired within a few hours, the patient could lose a nut.

The cruise was fun.
We did the usual hot tub and bingo. We ate in the Elation every nite. We did the my time dining. I liked it because we didnt have to schedule dinner but one nite we arrived at 8;30. It was a scheduled dinner time and very crowded as the people had 8:30 seating. So they asked us to wait about 10 minutes. No big deal we just made sure we arrived a little later than 8:30 and wre seated right away. The dinner was delicious. I had frog legs, duck liver, quail, and that was just appetizers. For the main course we had lobster tail and steak on New Years Day. Also chateaubriand, veal, pasta, meatloaf all very good. Of course I hit the sushi bar every nite. Desert was great but I would have liked creme brule.For breakfast and lunch I was a little disappointed as the menu was the same the whole trip.
The entertainment was good. There was 2 comedians who were funny but they played for 2 nites. I like to see a variety of acts. The dance shows were great.
It was quiet bumpy for two nites. I found it hard to sleep because that is when I fely the bumpiness the most.
We went to Grand Caymans and went to Hell. Corny I know but we went.
We were going to have a drink at Margaritaville but for us to split a burger and have a drink each it would have been over 50.00 so we made our way back to the ship.
We went to Cozumel and because of the weather any boat excursion was cancelled. I told you it was a bit bumpy. We got a cab and for 20.00 x 4 people we had a tour of the island. We stopped at the beach. I put my toes in the water and we went to the tequilla factory where we tasted and bought tequilla YUMMY.
When we arrived on the boat on New Years Eve we tried to sneak on booze. There was us and another couple. Our booze was in our case but the other couple got caught. I am thinking maybe because our suitcase was locked.When we came back to the boat our tequilla was confiscated but our friends wasnt. Luck of the draw I guess.
I would reccomend this cruise wholeheartedly

ZANESVILLE, Ohio (AP) -- A jury has found an Ohio couple guilty of involuntary manslaughter in the drowning of the woman's 3-year-old son and disappearance of his 2-year-old brother during a camping trip.
Twenty-five-year-old Kasey Klein and 38-year-old Richard Klein Jr. of Zanesville were convicted Thursday in Muskingum County.
Authorities have said the boys wandered away from a family campsite near the Muskingum River in June. The older boy's body was found in the water within hours; the younger boy has not been found.
The Zanesville Times Recorder reports that Kasey Klein's attorney had pointed the finger at her husband. But Richard Klein's attorney, William Mooney, had argued "the boys died as a result of life happening, not because someone did something wrong."
A prosecutor had argued the couple's irresponsibility led to the deaths.

Cooperstown Crier
The Canadarago Lake Partnership will hold its first public meeting at 7 p.m. Friday in the Richfield Springs Public Library.
The partnership consists of the Canadarago Lake Improvement Association (CLIA) and the municipalities with borders on the lake — the village of Richfield Springs and the towns of Richfield, Exeter, Otsego and Columbia.
Other partners include the Soil and Water Conservation Districts (SWCD) of Otsego and Herkimer Counties as well as the SUNY Oneonta Biological Field Station.
"The partnership is coming together to develop a plan to protect and enhance the enjoyment of Canadarago Lake," said Carter Bailey, a graduate student enrolled in the State University College of Oneonta's Lake Management Program. "We want the process to come from the bottom up, to hear from the residents who live in the watershed and use the lake, we want to understand their concerns and try to address them."
The meeting comes as survey results from a direct mailing to all watershed area residents have been tabulated. Among the top concerns were: Sanitary waste, invasive species, flooding and algae blooms.
"We want to give the public every chance possible to comment" said CLIA president Jane Feisthamel. "The survey results tell us a lot, but we want to make sure we've heard from everybody with an interest in the Lake."
The Canadarago Lake Watershed Protection Plan will be drafted by the partnership members in the months to come.
"The plan opens the door for potential funding to do the things we would like to do" added CLIA board member Ryan Fagan. "For example, if we decide to renovate the Bakers Beach facility and it's in the plan, it will be eligible for grant funding."
"Our office has been assisting the local community since before the big 2006 flood" said Scott Fickbohm of the Otsego County Soil and Water Conservation District. "We've done a lot of work to raise the funds necessary to complete a State of the Lake Report, which was completed last year by the field station, and a study that looked at replacing the Panther Mountain Dam."

I'm kidding- I know she won't because it is just so cute and she has moved past so cute even if I haven't! Hawthorne Threads has this great feature where people can upload photos of things they have made out of a particular fabric so shoppers can see what the fabric would look like all made up. I was perusing the site the other day and found this unbelievably cute set made out of my Lady Dot print from the Soiree colorway. I tracked down Tina the maker of these darling pieces and told her I had to show you. Super cute and so nicely sewn.
I have so enjoyed seeing the things going up on the Party Dress flickr group. If you have anything to share I would love to see it! The kids return to school next week- that was fast! I feel like we have hardly had a summer. I will say that I will get back to more regular posting and will be showing a sneak peek of the new collection sometime very soon. Just fine tuning a few things here and there.
Happy sewing!

E-Cigarettes: Do They Create New Young Smokers?
Since electronic cigs made a huge splash this year, researchers have been fighting about whether they will encourage younger folks to take the leap to traditional cigs. The jury is still out, though. While the CDC swears it will, some studies have found that just isn't true.

MLS has long been the Mexican Primera Division's punching bag. In fact, all of CONCACAF has been six, seven and eight steps behind the Primera Division for years. That gap between the Primera teams and MLS teams has begun to close in recent years though. On Wednesday night, FC Dallas took MLS' first Primera scalp of the new year and maybe the biggest one to date, becoming the first MLS team to win in Mexico as that impenetrable wall Primera teams had built up continues to crumble.
For a while, there wasn't any way of measuring exactly how much better the Mexican clubs were than those from north of the border, but anyone who watched a MLS match and then tuned into a Primera Division match knew that the Mexicans were far superior. International stars were playing in the Primera, with hardly any in MLS. The American clubs could have trouble stringing passes together some weeks, while Primera clubs were playing some of the most fluid soccer in the hemisphere. While there was no doubt that the Primera was CONCACAF's top league, it wasn't hard to argue that the Costa Rican Primera was superior to MLS.
Then in 2008, CONCACAF dumped the sham of a Champions Cup and instituted the Champions League. There, Primera clubs got to finally prove that they were better and that is exactly what they did. The first year of the league format saw one Mexican team beat another Mexican team in the final and Primera clubs go 4-0-2 against MLS teams and outscore their American counterparts, 10-5. The next year was worse with Primera clubs going 6-0-2 by a combined score of 19-6. Mexico was still the dominant side.
Last year things because to change though. The third year of the Champions League saw MLS clubs prioritize it a bit more and the growing league saw better results. MLS clubs picked up their first two wins over Primera teams, even if the Mexican teams went 5-2-1 against MLS clubs. Real Salt Lake topped their group, finishing ahead of Cruz Azul. That was the beginning of Salt Lake's road to the final, where they battled one of Mexico's top sides, Monterrey, to the very end and almost beat them before falling 3-2 on aggregate. Primera teams were still the class of CONCACAF, but they were no longer unbeatable.
One thing that MLS clubs could never do was defeat a Primera team on Mexican soil in a competitive match. They failed on 24 attempts, coming closest last year when Salt Lake fell to Cruz Azul in Mexico City despite holding a lead in the 86th minute. No matter what MLS clubs did, Primera clubs were untouchable at home. That is until Wednesday night, when FC Dallas went to Mexico City and knocked of Pumas, Mexico's Clausura champions. Even if Pumas didn't start near a full team, Primera clubs never had issue winning with reserve teams before and that was home or away. Dallas got them in their own backyard. The door that was seemingly dead bolted shut was finally knocked down by a MLS club.
Even with the recent success nobody is going to argue that MLS is as good as the Primera. MLS is taking pride in single victories right now, while Mexican clubs are taking home Champions League titles. Primera clubs are going down to Copa Libertadores and acquitting themselves well. By any measure, the Primera is still the best league in CONCACAF, but they are not six steps better like they used to.
MLS has long passed up the Costa Rica Primera for the title of second best league in CONCACAF and they are staring the Mexican Primera down the barrel of their gun. The Designated Player rule has allowed the MLS clubs to add bonafide stars to their clubs. The LA Galaxy look to be the strongest team in Group A of the Champions League with Landon Donovan, David Beckham and, soon, Robbie Keane leading the way. Dallas will get David Ferreira healthy for the knockout stages, if not the end of the group stage. Fredy Montero and Alvaro Fernandez are essential to the Seattle Sounders' success and Toronto FC is a very different team than the one that qualified for the tournament now that they have added Torsten Frings and Danny Koevermans.
The scouting and Generation adidas program has boosted MLS even further. If Donovan wasn't the Galaxy's best player in their group stage opening win then it was Omar Gonzalez, who joined the team as a Generation adidas signing. That is the same way that league MVP candidate Brek Shea joined Dallas and how Marvell Wynne, who helped the Colorado Rapids top Metapan, came into the league. Stefan Frei will stand between the sticks for Toronto as a Generation adidas signing and Generation adidas signing Steve Zakuani could be a gigantic boost to Seattle in the knockout stages when he is healthy again.
One place where the Primera has always had an advantage over MLS and continues to have an advantage is in youth development. Mexico youth teams, filled with products of Primera academies, have been wildly successful this summer in winning the U-17 World Cup and advancing to the semifinals of the U-20 World Cup. The current youth movement in Mexican soccer is because of an investment in youth development that is paying off, but it may not result in their continued dominance over MLS because those players aren't all sticking in Mexico anymore.
European clubs ignored Mexican players for a very long time. Deemed to be inferior or a difficult sign, Mexicans would develop in Primera academies and stay there for their entire careers. That isn't the case anymore as Javier 'Chicharito' Hernandez heads to Manchester United, Pablo Barrera goes to West Ham, Guillermo Ochoa goes to Ajaccio and Hector Moreno goes to Espanyol, among others. Even the younger players like 18-year-old Erick Torres has drawn interest from abroad. Primera clubs can develop player after player, but that is no longer a sign of continued Primera strength as some of those players head overseas.
MLS is the only league in CONCACAF that has the resources to compete with Mexico. The Primera continues to spend far more money than any other league in CONCACAF and, unsurprisingly, attracts many of the best players in the region. If MLS is to really chase down the Primera Division and compete for the crown of CONCACAF's best league then they will have to raise their salary cap, but that is still a little ways off. What isn't any ways off is MLS closing that gap and FC Dallas closed that gap even further on Wednesday.

Senate in Brief
The meeting began with a moment of silence for Robert Nason, an upper-year student who died on February 15.
Provost's Report
In his report to Senate, Provost and Vice-Principal (Academic) Bob Silverman provided updates on several items including:
• Enrolment planning: Provost Silverman reported that the Enrolment Planning Task Force is working through various enrolment strategies with the goal of producing a long-term plan. The long-term plan will be guided by the principles outlined in the preliminary report while taking into account a number of factors including the academic planning process, residential capacity, student demand and demographics. The Task Force is exploring various on- and off-campus enrolment strategies and will produce a planning document in the coming weeks.
• Tuition fee changes: The Provost also presented proposed changes to the 2011-12 tuition fees structure for professional Master of Engineering programs. Upon review of particular programs in the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science it was determined that in comparison with other Ontario universities Queen's has significantly lower fee levels in select Masters of Engineering professional programs. These changes will be proposed to the Board of Trustees at its March 4 meeting.
• Budget process: The Provost reported that the Provost Advisory Budget Committee is exploring new revenue and innovation ideas in the face of the University's difficult budget situation. He noted that difficult decisions will need to be made this year, and that overall budget planning for the next three years will be a challenge. The Provost encouraged members of Senate to share any ideas they may have in this regard.
• Financial situation: Provost Silverman informed Senate that he and Vice-Principal (Finance and Administration) Caroline Davis have released a financial update that focuses on the impact of philanthropic giving on the University. An update on the pension situation will be released in the coming weeks.
• Queen's University Administrative Systems Replacement (QUASR): The Provost noted that a new student self-service support centre will soon replace QCARD. The Student Online University System (also known as SOLUS) will be launched the week of March 8 and is the next in a series of critical changes to the student information system.
• Graduate student accessibility training: The Provost reported that the Graduate Studies Executive Council recently passed a motion that will require all incoming graduate students to complete an online course in accessibility training, effective September 2011. He noted that the move was made after more than a year of extensive consultation and is an important step in taking responsibility for advancing accessibility at Queen's.
• University planning: Provost Silverman noted that a large part of the Provost's role involves University planning, and that he is the chair of the Enrolment Planning Task Force, the Queen's University Planning Committee, and the Provost Advisory Committee on Budget. He reported that the three groups are converging on a number of ideas related to Queen's future, and that he believes they are having and will continue to have an impact on the University.
Question Period
During Question Period, Academic Planning Task Force chair Peter Taylor responded to questions about the Task Force's progress. A new website provides fundamental information about the group, and that the Task Force is hopeful that a lot of feedback will happen through the discussion threads on the website and through town hall and open meetings.
Reports of Committees
Senate approved the Enrolment Plan 2011-2012, which recommends an increase in first-entry undergraduate enrolment of no more than 100 students in 2011. It also proposes that previously approved graduate growth targets continue in programs that have not yet reached their enrolment aspirations and where faculty capacity exists. Senate approved the enrolment plan.
Senate also approved a request for formal centre status for the Centre for Energy and Power Electronics Research (ePower).
Senate approved the the following people to Senate committees:
Orientation Activities Review Board – D. Johnson – undergraduate student
Dispute Resolution Advisor – M, Singh – Faculty, Department of Physics
Senate Orientation Activities Review Board - L. Boulos – undergraduate student
Informal Session
Senators, observers, visitors and guests broke into informal groups to discuss issues proposed by the Academic Planning Task Force. Topics included:
• Writing – How Queen's can best integrate the teaching and learning of writing with the learning of specific disciplines.
• Inquiry – What is the best way to design a class, curriculum, or program to enhance students' experience with inquiry?
• Interdisciplinarity – What is the best way to design a program that will give our students genuine interdisciplinary experiences?
After the informal discussions, the groups provided brief reports. Task Force members also answered several questions. They will use the information to help guide their discussions on these topics. The team also stressed that these are just some of the pillars the Task Force is focused on, and others will be added.
Communications and reports submitted to Senate for information:
• Research Report
• Extension of review deadlines for the Centre for Health Service and Policy Research (CHSPR) and the Queen's Cancer Research Institute (CRI).
Matters referred to standing committees
• Proposed amendments to the name, terms of reference and composition of the Internal Academic Review Committee (IARC).

text: The death of a 3-year-old girl in Rome is being called foul play. Ella Camp passed away on Thursday from injuries police say she suffered at her home earlier this week.Investigators said that Camp was brought to the Floyd County Medical Center on Tuesday morning by an unnamed family member. Her injuries were so severe that she was transferred to Children's at Scottish Rite Pediatric Hospital. The young girl passed away from head trauma early Thursday.Police in Rome have not commented on who was caring for Camp on Monday night into Tuesday morning, and they are not saying who lived in her house. Neighbors told FOX 5's Chris Shaw that Ella's mother and boyfriend lived in the duplex and that they seemed liked a happy family. "They seemed like a normal household, nothing out of the ordinary. No late nights, nothing like that. You'd see them out playing and everybody seemed to get along," said Chris Cumbie.More than 10,000 have followed Ella's story on a Facebook page, Prayers for Ella.Authorities said they are working on some leads and hope to make an arrest soon.

For those who grapple and spar, do you ever do stuff just to be a dick? I do. Non-technique, nothing that will injure my partners, and nothing that would piss me off if done to me - just little irritating things because I think it's funny. My favorite dick move:
Armbar leg-shake - basically shake your leg when breaking someone's armbar defense grip. You dribble their head like a basketball.

That was actually how it started. My instructor showed us to shake the arm or push/pull to break the grip. I just modified for hilarity.
Edit -wait, you're saying the Machados actually taught the head bounce thing? (sadface)

Edit: You do have to shake the leg in the armbar variation, but that doesn't mean you need to bounce their head off the ground. I use the "shake" technique to break up grip-based choke defenses more that anything else.

Eros in Piccadily
The World > Europe > UK > England > London
Eros, Greek god of love; well we all knew that and here he is atop a plinth in Piccadily Circus in the centre of London. Some say the centre of the World. Indeed I've heard it described the 'Hub of The Universe'.
The Greek god of love, yes, but Wikipedia elaborates on this romantic image. God of lust and intercourse too. Back to the romantic view, Eros carries a bow whose arrow if directed at the unsuspecting causes them to instantly fall in love. With whom and why I haven't a clue. You can look it up yourself and let me know if you like, and maybe I will edit this description.

First we need a bridge, in order for it to fall down. The Romans were nice enough to build the first one, probably using a combination of floating platforms and walkways. During Roman times the River Thames was much wider and shallower than it is today, so you could get away with mud hopping. As London has grown it has continually reclaimed the riverbank and funneled the river into a tighter channel, causing no small floods in the lower-laying areas.
Now, London Bridge first fell down and became a song when the English were fighting Viking invaders from Denmark. The English won by pulling down the Danish garrison and the bridge along with it.
Whoops! Wood and clay will wash away, wash away, wash away. Well.. that's part of the story. In 1014 more Viking invaders decided the bridge was in the way of their tall ships, so they tied ropes to it and rowed at full speed to help the bridge wash away.
Verse Three: "Build it up with bricks and mortar, bricks and mortar, bricks and mortar." The first stone construction began in 1176 and took thirty years to finish. This one lasted six centuries, but it still caught on fire and nearly collapsed a few times. This was the famous long-standing bridge bearing not only a church and houses, but also the heads of traitors preserved in tar and mounted on stakes.
Of course, a multi-colored thread of zany events came to pass in the seven-century lifespan of the stone London Bridge -- witch burnings, boating collisions and drownings, the Plague -- it's all part of becoming the world's largest city, a rich title which London achieved in the nineteenth century.
Oops! "Bricks and mortar will not stay, will not stay, will not stay." Build it up with iron and steel. The then-decrepit and chokingly narrow stone bridge was rebuilt by John Rennie in the 1830's. Legend has it that the British custom of driving on the left-hand side of the road was an early attempt to solve the congestion on the bridge.
If you can believe what comes next, Rennie's bridge was SOLD to an American investor who carted it off to Arizona. That was 1968.
The current London Bridge was dedicated in 1973. Its concrete and steel construction was financed by the sale of Rennie's stone bridge. Hmm... was this sale an elaborate financier's gambit, or just clever adaptation of existing circumstances?
Getting There
Heathrow Airport is the main one, although there are eight airports in the greater London area. Heathrow is the world's busiest airport in terms of international flights.
Other main airports are Gatwick and Stansted, all have good transportation links into central London, choose rail or bus.
With the oldest and best underground system in the world, you can literally get anywhere quickly, the 'tubes' do get a little overcrowded, so why not see the sites above the ground and take a bus or river boat.
Like Hong Kong, London uses the Oyster card system to let you pay electronically for all sorts of things, especially moving your body from place to place. Fares go for about two pounds per ride for the underground and £1 for the bus. Travel cards have a cool price cap on the bulk ticket purchases, so you can ride more without being charged more, after a certain point.
Consider avoiding the much loved 'black cabs' for long journeys, as it can be an expensive way to sit in traffic. Traffic can get busy in central London, but is improving alot since the introduction of the now very famous 'congestion charge'.
People and Culture
The British invented marmalade to protect their mighty navy from scurvy, and they drink a lot of tea ! "Thank you very much and have a lovely evening".
Well, those are the stereotypes. British culture can have the reputation of being stuffy and repressively polite, but the warmth and volume of pub life more than make up for it. The people in general are hilarious, sarcastic and quick-witted. They love their pints, their fish and chips and their football.
Like other megalopoliptic international and throbbing cities, London is tricky to congeal into a sliceable pat that one might conceivably be able to spread on one's toast. You'll simply have to come here and see it for yourself.
Things to do & Recommendations
First off, read some Shakespeare so you understand why you need to go to the Globe Theatre. Think about the double and triple meanings built into the text; this will give you a foundation in the British sense of humor you're walking into.
With that under your belt, walk on into The London Dungeons. When you're finished looking at these cages for people, you can look at some cages for animals at the London Zoo!
Science lovers can teleport right over to the Natural History Museum and laugh at the dinosaurs, who couldn't tele-anything.
The British museums are some of the best in the world, possibly even the best, owing to the Empire's history of world exploration. The National Gallery houses some of the greatest Western painting anywhere.
London is basically jam-packed full of history, food, music, theatre, art, banks and people to boggle your brains. I would try to describe it to you, but...
But Samuel Johnson already said it best.

For over 40 years, Christopher Hitchens wrote, with passionate commitment, on matters that others feared to broach. This assortment of essays spans his whole career and encompasses his writing on politics, literature, and religion. It is the most comprehensive collection of Hitchens' work, and contains all aspects of his wide repertoire as journalist, polemicist, and critic.
Divided into sections such as "All American", "Eclectic Affinities", and "Foreign Quarrels", it contains his views on subjects ranging from Clinton to Kissinger, Powell to Proust. Hitchens' life was one of defiance, wit, courage, and humility. He was a voice of reason, making his indelible and brilliant mark on politics and literature on both sides of the Atlantic. While his many books exist as a formidable legacy, it is his mastery of short-form journalism and criticism that constitute his lasting claim to greatness - and make Arguably a unique and not-to-be-missed anthology.
©2011 Christopher Hitchens (P)2012 AudioGO Ltd
"Intellectual and noble"
I had a brilliant idea putting this on my swimming ipod - i.e. the waterfi ipod I use when swimming. This meant I got half hour episodes three times a week for about a month. I couldn't have taken it in, in larger doses. The book consists of a wide range of articles (book reviews, political comment, foreign journalism, topical columns) from about 2001-2010. Hitchens is outspoken, honest, articulate, well informed, and noble. Noble is, I guess, a funny word to use. I mean sincere, and with good judgement and intellectual integrity. But those terms don't quite capture it because there is also the question of caring, forever trying to support the weak and dispossessed through the means of journalism.
Narration got 4 stars because it wasn't Christopher reading it himself.
"A great mind"
After having listened to two other titles written and read by Christopher Hitchens this finished off an insatiable desire to hear this mans views on a wide range of topics.Also worth looking up his work on youtube in the defence of atheism. Agreat mind which will be badly missed.
I exist.
"A good collection of essays well read"
"Arguably" is a collection of essays by Christopher Hitchens on a variety of topics including waterboarding, Iraq and literature. The essays are interesting and often right in substance and you might get a few tips on books worth reading from them too. Simon Prebble reads the book clearly and with appropriate emphasis.
"A truly fantastic polemical"
I downloaded this audio book after reading several of Hitchens books. I can unequivocally state that I was not disappointed. He writes with acerbic wit, never shirking in saying what he thinks heedless of those he may anger. More often than not, his analysis is accurate and thought provoking.
Agree with him or not, he is worth listening to!
"A Great Mind"
While I wouldn't say in this collection of essays that there's something for everyone, it's almost the case.
Hitchens is a great writer with a great mind who was taken from us too soon. Even when he expresses an opinion you don't agree with he puts it so well that you can't help but nod your head.
Simple put - this collection of essays has made me smarter, as all of Hitchens works have done.
"Huge collection of work from a huge intellect"
Vivid, provocative, stimulating
An extraordinary collection of essays that could only be the product of their author's extraordinary mind. Hitchens addresses a vast array of subjects, each time demonstrating tremendous knowledge, wit and a flair for the English language with which he sooths, seduces, applauds, provokes, mocks and excoriates like no other writer or journalist I've encountered. It is not a single moment in this collection that makes it so memorable, but the style and verve with which it is written.
There is something to pique almost everyone's interest amongst the titles of the 107 pieces in this volume, but perhaps one of Hitchens' greatest qualities was the way his writing could make those topics with which his audience hasn't the slightest acquaintance equally engaging and stimulating.
The narrator does a fine job, speaking clearly, expressively and at appropriate speed, making him easy to listen to.
If you get through this collection without being moved to anger, amusement, sadness and delight, I'd see a doctor.
"Perfect for the commute"
Hitchens breadth of knowledge is incredible. It is hard to imagine how he found the time to acquire it all, given the endless writing, touring and debating he engaged in. In this collection of essays he mostly covers literature, politics, religion and history. You can listen to one every so often, coming back to the book whenever you have a spare twenty minutes or so and want to immerse yourself in some thought provoking ideas. There can be few ways to get better value out of your Audible credits. The narrator does a good job too. Though it is a pity there is. I longer the option of listening to the man himself.
"A convert"
I wasnt a fan but I was intrigued and then delighted as Hitchens is a much more subtle, various and dogmatic a writer than I had thought. Here is plenty, funny, provoking, and passionate.
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.

This presentation in part of ongoing project by the Sandown Conservation Commission to reduce the population of ticks at the Fremont Road Town Forest field area. Various groups and individuals, utilize the field for activities, camp-outs and passive recreation. The tick problem has become a health issue which has resulted in the cancellation of events as well as discouraged public use. The Town of Sandown purchased this land for its recreational and intrinsic value.
The goal of this project is to educate the Conservation Commission members and those interested, formulate a plan of action based on information learned and build a "Request for Proposal" to mitigate the problem which bridges public health and environmental sensitivity.
All are welcome, both Sandown residents and non-residents alike. This event is free of charge.

Elderly couple from Chorley are victims of sick Facebook hoax
5:22pm Tuesday 6th March 2012 in Chorley By Chris Gee , Reporter
AN ELDERLY couple received death threats after a Facebook group mocking the death of James Bulger was falsely linked to them.
Police said a group was set up featuring sick messages referring to the Merseyside youngster, who was murdered by Jon Venables and Robert Thompson in 1993.
The group named the couple, who are from Chorley, as the administrators.
A statement from police said: "Lancashire Police has been made aware of a social network page about the murdered toddler James Bulger which has falsely identified an elderly couple from the Chorley area as the site administrators.
"We would like to stress that the couple identified have no connection to this site and we are working with them to offer them protection and reassurance after they were subject to a number of direct threats.
"We are now working with Merseyside Police to identify who has set up the site and anyone who has posted malicious comments."
A 26-year-old man from Chorley was arrested on Monday on suspicion of causing a public nuisance and malicious communication.
He was questioned for several hours at a police station after officers seized computer equipment including a laptop.
The suspect has been released on police bail until Wednesday, May 9.

New leadership is needed for new times, but it will not come from finding more wily ways to manipulate the external world. It will come as we who serve and teach and lead find the courage to take an inner journey toward both our shadows and our light—a journey that, faithfully pursued, will take us beyond ourselves to become healers of a wounded world.
There is in us an instinct for newness, for renewal, for a liberation of creative power. We seek to awaken in ourselves a force which really changes our lives from within. And yet the same instinct tells us that this change is a recovery of that which is deepest, most original, most personal in ourselves.
