The New Jersey legislature has finally recognized the obvious: their proposed merger bill is plain unconstitutional without the approval of Rutgers University governing boards, which up to this point have largely been a bystander in the process, as the Newark and Camden delegations demanded unfair concession after unfair concession. Not only were those self-serving changes largely unacceptable to Rutgers, but the backroom politicians making those deals did not have authority to negotiate for Rutgers! Now the question becomes who blinks with Christie's July 30th deadline fast approaching. There's the old car salesman trick, where terms of a deal change at the last minute, and you go along with it anyway because you are already far too invested in negotiations. That's the pratfall that has to be avoided. Rutgers needs to be ready to walk away, because they only get one thing they want in this deal, at too high a cost. (While the original, simple Camden for UMDNJ-NB trade was unfair, it still would have been a net boon for the university.) It's time to tell Norcross off. The only part of this merger that makes any sense at all is the New Brunswick part, and that should be the only change that happens.
New Jersey politicians are no friends of Rutgers
The gist of the statement is essentially that the current proposal is insane and a horrible deal for Rutgers, but let's talk. Obviously, you have lots of different factions at play here. Ralph Izzo on the BoG is very close to Chris Christie, but he also has to recognize how bad this deal is; but on the other hand, his loyalty is to Rutgers, not Rutgers Camden, and Izzo won't hesitate to negotiate for a better deal. On the other hand, you have Camden professors and students who are opposed to a deal under any circumstances. To them, all I can say is that if the Rutgers BoT/BoG releases a statement that does not outright dismiss the proposal, like it or not, it's time to make preparations that your campus is going to be traded for a medical school. If the deal is right, that always has been and always will be a very easy choice for Rutgers. Of course, this deal is not right, not even close. Rutgers needs to torpedo all of the Newark proposals, refuse to take on UMDNJ's debt, stop George Norcross from using the Rutgers name, extract additional financial concessions, and maybe even consolidate the law schools in New Brunswick. The Sweeney proposal could not possibly be a worse piece of legislation, which is why Loretta Weinberg's statement of praise, and support from other Senate Democrats like Paul Sarlo and Joe Vitale (a traitor to Middlesex County if there ever was one) are enough to induce vomit. As for Farmer's article, the points are correct with respect to Sweeney's awful proposal. However, as to the broader idea of separating Rutgers-Camden, I don't really agree. It's clear that Norcross U would be a clown college with no academic prestige, and it would be completely devoid of funding as all resources are shifted into debt-ridden Cooper Medical School. Therefore, there is no chance that it would pose a genuine threat to Rutgers. The thing is though that this so-called university cannot be allowed to use the Rutgers name, and that Sweeney's idea to designate Rowan as the research university for South Jersey, and Rutgers as the research university for North Jersey must be eviscerated, never to return. Now and forever, Rutgers must retain its status and sole designation the state university for all of New Jersey - regardless of whether it keeps its satellite campuses in Newark and Camden or not.
As expected, the proposal includes provisions for new governing boards in Newark and Camden, which is anathema and unacceptable to the Rutgers boards. George Norcross is still free to loot the Camden campus. Other changes include: 1. As an apparent end-run around Newark's excessive desire for political bribes, Sweeney proposes that Rutgers absorb EVERY UMDNJ asset except for University Hospital. Actually, Rutgers would not want to do this, because UMDNJ is a political patronage mill more than a medical school. It does create the super-patronage mill that Essex County politicians want though, and NJIT has to feel nervous tonight that they will be next in the crosshairs to be gobbled up. 2. In an effort to further curb RU's political independence, Stephen Sweeney's proposal would increase the size of the university's board of governors from 11 to 15 members. Sweeney does concede that the proposal will change, and Newark is definitely gearing for a fight. Now it's up to Rutgers to pit these two groups of fools against each other, and somehow get out of this mess by regaining its stolen medical school.
"If the board of governors doesn't support this, it's in trouble. I don't know how you supersede the board of governors," said State Sen. Robert Singer (R., Ocean), who sits on the Senate Higher Education Committee and supports the governor's proposal. "It's one week away. We have to see." ... "If we don't get the whole thing, maybe do the Rutgers-UMDNJ thing now and we have to wait on Rowan and Rutgers," he said. "It's important to get this moving the right way. Half a pie is better than no pie."The Rutgers boards are set to vote on a statement of principles opposing any union between Rutgers-Camden and Rowan. All eyes ultimately fall on the Board of Governors, as the Board of Trustees are certain to oppose the so-called compromise. It's doubtful the BoG would support it though, as they have a fiduciary to do what is in the best interest of the university, and the proposals to have Newark and Camden politicians gut Rutgers of assets while still having rights to the university's name are too much of a price to pay. Now the question becomes as to whether the original proposal will be revived, which probably was worth the trade. Obviously you'd prefer for UMDNJ-NB to just be returned to Rutgers, but we cannot get out of this situation without a medical school. It is absolutely vital for the future of Rutgers. Sen. Singer does deserve a lot of credit for being responsible and respecting the rule of law, as opposed to Sen. Sweeney, who has a callous disregard for the Rutgers Act of 1956. The second bit of comments from Singer are pretty good, a best of all worlds scenario. As the merger in New Brunswick is absolutely vital to the future of New Jersey's economy, New Jersey legislators ultimately can't be dumb enough to cut off their noses to spite their faces, could they? Not approving the main merger would cost the state millions in research funds. At the end of the day, they have to approve that no matter what, as failing to do that would represent a dereliction of duty and responsibility to the taxpayers of New Jersey.
"Thanks to the Rutgers Act of 1956, our two governing boards are free from the influence peddling and secret back-room deal-making that politicians in both the north and south are rushing to bring to both Rutgers-Newark and Rutgers-Camden," said Shankman. "When I have to consider who I have more confidence in: independent Rutgers boards who uphold a 246-year tradition of nonpartisan excellence or politicians seeking to control as much as they can whenever and wherever they can, to me the choice of who to trust is very clear."Quotes don't really get much better than that. The fact that corrupt Newark politicians are railing about "wasteful" spending in a plot to give them a giant patronage slush fund to reward cronies with really takes the cake. Investment in Rutgers-New Brunswick has been cut to the bone because of budget cuts that these politicians largely voted for, and they still have to gall to spout these blatant lies. The fiction about only 55% of tuition being spend on satellite campuses owes a great deal to the central administration fees that would largely increase if the campuses were governed centrally. The rest, of course, owes to the fact that no one would value an education from the Newark or Camden campuses if they were not associated with Rutgers-New Brunswick, so they fairly must pay what is essentially a licensing fee for the privilege of association. The independence of the Rutgers Governing Board is not a bug, it's a feature.
The trustees said many of their colleagues wanted to emphasize their opposition to the Christie/Norcross plan after The Star-Ledger published details of a so-called "compromise" worked out behind closed doors. The details "infuriated" the trustees, said one member of the board, because they played no part in what appeared to be a done deal. In a confidential email, one trustee wrote of the plan, ``Not just 'no,' but 'HELL NO!'"This is from Bob Braun in the Ledger. Rutgers is prepared to offer increased autonomy to the Newark and Camden campuses, but is not willing to let political hacks in Newark and Camden take over those campuses and raid their treasuries. Simply put, it is not acceptable for a campus to bear the Rutgers name but not be under the direct and sole authority of the Rutgers Board of Governors. Update: as you would expect, Rutgers sources insist they have no interest in having George Norcross run the Camden campus by fiat.
New Jersey Senate President Stephen Sweeney, who holds nothing resembling a college or university degree, now has it in mind that the state of New Jersey should circumvent and gut the Rutgers Act of 1956. This is no less than an open declaration of warfare by Sweeney and his puppet master George Norcross against Rutgers, and therefore, Rutgers should respond in kind. The most disgusting part? Middlesex County legislator Joe Vitale, who should be screaming at the top of his lungs defending Rutgers, is supposedly abetting Sweeney and Norcross in their dirty dealings. As that Ledger article points out, patronage-minded politicians in Newark and Camden are treating this merger proposal as an opportunity to loot the state university of its prestige and treasure, and this cannot be allowed. Both are still stuck in the moronic, simplistic view of this issue as a zero sum game of local politics, rather than the correct view of an opportunity to strengthen the state university of New Jersey while enhancing the state's life sciences industry. Rutgers should not stand for it, New Jersey voters should not stand for it, and New Jersey economic heavyweights such as Johnson & Johnson and Merck should not stand for it either. We stand at the precipice of an opportunity to do an enormous, practically unbound level of good for the state economy by returning the illegally, immorally stolen Robert Wood Johnson School of Medicine to its rightful owner in Rutgers University. Yet, all these clowns care about is greasing their palms and looking out for number one. It's downright pathetic. There is little wonder why New Jersey's higher education is suffering. With politicians like these, how could it not? That's why New Jerseyans need to stand against this horrific attempt to broach the sacred Rutgers Act of 1956, and demand that Governor Christie stand up to George Norcross, do what's right, and only move forward with the New Brunswick portions of the merger while tabling every other proposal. Update: let's be clear on this - Newark's politicians are just as craven, reprehensible, and opportunistic as Camden's. I guess it's a point of pride that we don't stand for that kind of garbage in Central Jersey, but this is just absurd. This isn't about regional parochialism. It's about the general welfare of the entire state. Someone has to step up and be an advocate for all of New Jersey against these thieves and criminals. Frankly, Gov. Christie is abdicating his role and responsibility if he does not take a stand against these demands. Update2: some more on Newark's excessive, outrageous demands.
Bob Braun has a column today where he notes that, given the choice, Richard McCormick would choose the UMDNJ campus in New Brunswick/Piscataway over Rutgers-Camden. Of course he would, because even with the downsides and problems with the Rowan deal, Rutgers still ends up far ahead in any trade. The odd thing about Braun's column though is his concern over UMDNJ's debt. Isn't most of the debt with UMDNJ's Newark campus, especially with University Hospital? There is always the possibility that UMDNJ would try to sandbag Rutgers in trying to force it to take on debt as a condition of the merger, but otherwise, I am not sure about the premises of Braun's larger article. It might take a while to unravel UMDNJ's finances, but Rutgers should stand firm on the point that it should not have to absorb any Newark-related debt. In other news, Rowan University has released its plan for a hypothetical merger with Rutgers-Camden, and it is predictably bad. (Down to the opening graphic on the front page of the report. Ocean County isn't South Jersey!) The plan demands "equal" funding at the same level as Rutgers and NJIT, which makes no sense given that Rutgers is a world-class research university. Given the legislature's lack of inclination to higher ed, that means money coming out of RU's pocket. The report also assumes that there won't be a mass exodus out of the Camden campus after a merger, which is certainly being threatened by existing faculty and students. This all seems awfully ambitious given that the Rutgers board is threatening to block any merger, though that is basic negotiating 101. Even the likes of Greg Brown, the Rutgers alumnus and Motorola CEO who is very close to Christie, are objecting. Maybe Brown can be a useful counterbalance to the influence of George Norcross with Christie. Update: the Philadelphia Inquirer today has a lengthy feature on Norcross.
If you were waiting for the other shoe to drop, it just did. Unfortunately, this may be why Rutgers has to give up the Camden campus. With Republicans and South Jersey Democrats voting as a bloc with Central Jersey Democrats already on board, then there's no way to gum up the UMDNJ merger in Ne Brunswick. It simply has to happen, and it's sad to see Cory Booker descending into regional parochialism over the state's collective welfare. In that respect, he's just as bad as all of the worst Essex County politicians throughout history.

The Casey County Coroner said a man died after a collision last night.
State Police said it happened two miles north of Liberty on US 127 around 6:30 p.m.
According to troopers, Marvin Lee, 49, was heading south on US 127 when he crossed into the northbound lane and hit an oncoming car.
The coroner said the driver of that car, Michael Beal, 26, was dead at the scene.
Lee was flown to UK Hospital where he is in critical condition.
Police said neither driver was wearing a seatbelt.
They believe alcohol is a factor in the collision.

It was a nice run to be able to be outdoors… Do you like to jog/run outdoors or inside on a treadmill? May 13, 2007 at 1:02 am #380038 tmorParticipant i want to running outside and running inside May 13, 2007 at 2:11 am #380045 crazymonkParticipant HOnestly i hate the treadmill, i keep thinking im gonna forget im on a treadmill and trip and fall off. Treadmill is a lot easier. I like running outside a lot better. Much more fun imo. Even if it's running outside your company parking lot. May 13, 2007 at 8:29 am #380052 pR3nCessParticipant you guys are so discipline!!! i'm envious!!! i can't run anywhere but i do walk sometimes on the treadmill, does that count? LOL. May 13, 2007 at 4:34 pm #380058 crazymonkParticipant WEll some people like to excercise.. some don't. You know it depends on the person. May 13, 2007 at 5:02 pm #380067 MysteryManParticipant treadmill are so lame Darina. Outside is so much better because your environment changes constantly. Fresh air also adds to the experience. May 14, 2007 at 9:22 am #380075 MsCambodia2002Participant I haven't been on a treadmill in awhile… I like outdoors because you can't just press the STOP button and you have to eventually get back to Point A so you push yourself more. May 14, 2007 at 10:11 am #380083 naH_binCHiParticipant i like outdoors because i dont feel like a hamster on a wheel. but i like indoors because its convenient to run, then lift right after. I prefer running on the sand so its easire on your joints May 14, 2007 at 11:04 am #380091 MsCambodia2002Participant ^ so hard to run on sand! May 14, 2007 at 1:25 pm #380098 MissDarinaParticipant I run at a very large community park so I get to see the soccer games, children playing, baseball games, tennis matches etc. I like seeing new things but the only disadvantage is the fact that my allergies kill me (esp the pollen). Anyway, running indoors has its perks too…like watching the tv and not having to worry about the allergies… I guess it depends on how I feel. If my friend runs w/ me, she and I enjoy running around the neighborhood.

This week's snow storm is set to make a mess all over Virginia, prompting Governor Terry McAuliffe to declare a state of emergency - his first statewide state of emergency since taking office a month ago.
Declaring a state of emergency puts more resources on the ground across Virginia to help respond to power outages, and prepare roads before icy conditions hit. NBC29 got a special look inside the nerve center of emergency operations Wednesday afternoon.
Located just steps from the governor's office there is a fully equipped command post that helps McAuliffe and his cabinet monitor conditions across the commonwealth.
One month into office, McAuliffe says this might be the most important part of his new job.
"We've been fully mobilized, our emergency services. I've talked to Dominion Power today," said McAuliffe. "This is the most important thing that you can do to make sure that we are keeping our Virginians safe at home and on the road."
McAuliffe says 12,000 pieces of storm equipment have been deployed across the state since Tuesday afternoon preparing for this storm. McAuliffe says he'll work into the night monitoring the storm.The snow and ice won't stop state lawmakers either, who say they'll keep working through the conditions this week in Capitol Square.
In declaring a state of emergency, the governor authorizes state agencies to identify and position resources for quick response anywhere they are needed in Virginia.
"Now is the time for Virginia to get ready for this storm," said Governor McAuliffe. "This state of emergency declaration will empower the Virginia Department of Emergency Management, the Department of Transportation, the Virginia National Guard, and our electric and cable utilities to prepare for a storm that is predicted to create power outages and significant travel challenges across the Commonwealth over the next few days.
"Just as state government is preparing for this storm, I urge every Virginian to take proper preparations. Prepare to limit unnecessary travel during the storm, have emergency supplies on hand and be ready in the event that power in your area goes out."
To prepare for the storm:

Well, what can you say about French Polynesia?? The most beautiful azure/turquoise waters in the world. Bora Bora was exceptionally beautiful. Our trip started in Honolulu the day before departure. We stayed at the Ilikai Hotel, Waikiki beach. Gorgeous hotel with an inside/outside restaurant. People were extremely friendly and it was in a great location with a small lagoon out back. They were also filming Hawaii 5-0 behind the hotel.
Next day at noon, we boarded the luxurious M/S Celebrity Solstice. Breathtaking ship, to say the least. Check-in was a breeze due to the on-line check-in feature on Celebrity's website. Within 15 minutes we were on our way to our cabin. Due to us being there so early, our cabin was not ready. Since we didn't have our luggage with us, we headed to the top deck to the sunset bar for some "refreshments". LOL! It was all uphill from there. Since we had a drink package(classic), the drinks came and went very fast. Free pour is the way to go. Had to ask the bartenders to lighten up on the rum...can you believe it??? The food on board is to die for. The specialty restaurants are worth every penny...buy the 5 dinner package!!
The amenities are quite impressive; the décor is stunning; staff are wonderful. Shouts out to Martin in the Grand Eperney and to Martin, the F & B manager. Also to my poker buddies Howard, Stefan(Austria), Greg(bayley), Bob, Paul and MJ(Patel)...it's Patrick. All in all, a spectacular cruise and I hated to leave. I highly recommend this cruise line and this cruise in particular. We have already booked a 14 nite exotic Caribbean cruise for December 2014 and can't wait to go.

RUF has produced some of the world's finest modified Porsche variants for as long as we can remember. Their newest rendition was on display at the Geneva Motor Show and showed just how proficient RUF has become with modifying Porsches to perfection. The RUF Rt 12 R is based on the 911 Turbo, but instead of the factory 500-hp and 516 ft-lbs of torque, RUF takes it to new heights with 730-hp and 693 ft-lbs of torque.
RUF doesn't just focus on the performance of the 911 Turbo however, the Rt 12 R has also been overhauled with carbon fiber fenders, hood, luggage cover, seats and optional roof. To further shed some unwanted pounds, the side and rear windows have been swapped in with plastic counterparts to the factory glass. RUF has already claimed an impressive 230-mph top speed in the Rt 12 R.
Located on all four corners are lightweight, forged aluminum center-locking wheels sporting a staggered 19-inch setup.
Official press release available after the break.

City to close Daggett Road on April 26
The City of Kansas City, Mo., Public Works Department is advising residents and motorists that Daggett Road, between NW 64th Street and NW 67th Street in the City's Northland, is to be permanently closed on April 26. Recent street improvements in the area have made it unnecessary to keep this narrow unimproved street with a failing low-water crossing open to the public.
Once closed, the pavement on Daggett Road will be removed and the road bed will be allowed to return to natural conditions.
Media inquiries about this matter should be directed to Dennis Gagnon, public information officer for the Public Works Department, 816-513-2659.

Parking: Since this was my first time going our of Fort Lauderdale and reading the horror stories on parking/shuttles, I decided to book parking at an off site agency-parked at the Embassy Suites- lots of people waiting in line- but overall it was a breeze. (HINT- go early- if you park before 10 a.m. you will not have to wait in a line of 50 people to get to the port)
Embarkment: Easy!! Since I am Platinum, I was able to go through an express line and was onboard within 15 minutes.
The Ship: the moment you board- you will be amazed!! The promenade is amazing- wide open spaces, bright and airy, entertainment galore and something to do around every corner. As you walk down the main promenade, you will see bars, shopping, eateries and plenty of places to sit. The bars were more than just the normal sit and drink bars- they all had a theme- from Vintages (wine bar) to the Dog & Badger specializing in specialty drinks. Each store front was decorated and reflected the theme of the individual establishments.
The shops were plentiful, the food options were varied. You could get ice cream from Ben & Jerry's or a quick slice of pizza at Sorrento's. The Royal Promenade was lined with specialty shops, food venues and drinking options.
The Room: We had a Promenade room- very nice- bed was ultra comfortable and the view would have been better with clean windows. It was cozy to sit in the window seat and read a book. Not enough drawer space for 6 nights, but we made it work.
The Food: Overall the food was great. Once in a while something was a bit overcooked- but so what! We sent it back and they brought us a better steak!! The negative was the Windjammer at lunch- it was the same food everyday. A variety would have been better- but that is just an opinion. Chops Grille-wonderful and very filling! The service in every food venue was outstanding. Great service is what you will appreciate more than anything.
Entertainment: Best ever- casino- slots were very tight- most people complained about the slots.
My hubby did the Rock climbing wall- he is 54 and loved it! The staff was very helpful and encouraging. Flow rider was awesome to watch and the ice skating show was great.
Service: Wonderful, Wonderful, Wonderful!!!!
Leaving the ship- this was the worst experience since traveling out of San Juan 20 years ago. The actual getting off the ship was fine- the problem was finding your luggage. The lines were long and confusing. You had to snake through the line of people trying to get through customs to get to your luggage which was piled on the floor under your number- it was just awful and confusing. Some people were in line for over an hour just to snake through customs. It is a shame that the terminal for the Allure/Oasis is state of the art and the other terminals are so primitive.
Overall- best vacation ever- best ship ever!!

Skitliv Biography - Skitliv Discography - All Heavy Metal Bands
The brainchild of enigmatic ex-MAYHEM vocalist Maniac whose often erratic and self-mutilating performances helped the Norwegian Black Metal founders become that of legend. Having spent months in the dark throes of mystery and solitude brooding over his next musical movement, Maniac has assembled an impressive cast to help materialize his morbid visions. SKITLIV "Skandinavisk Misantropi" is a bleak soundtrack to his personal apocalypse which is full of loathing, hatred and spite. Featuring Attila Csihar (MAYHEM, SUN O))), Gaahl (ex-GORGOROTH), Niklas Kvarforth (SHINING) and David Tibet & Andrew Liles (CURRENT 93), this debut is a miasma of brilliant desperation and hopelessness. Many will drop in awe at the stunning vocal range, guitar playing and bevy of emotions pouring out of Maniac's open veins! The careful, organic mastering of Andrew Liles (NURSE WITH WOUND / CURRENT 93) has given this black diamond it glorious, multi-faceted finish. A new epic sub-realm to extreme audio art has been created with this keystone debut.

Product Information
- Find It from Find It Games
- We recommend this product for ages 8 and up
What It Is
What It Is
Find It is an interactive game where players try to find objects that are hidden among thousands of small plastic pieces in a transparent tube. On your turn, twist the tube, shake it up, and spin it to find an object. If you find something, mark it off of your checklist. The main goal is to be the first player to find the hidden penny. There are a variety of Find It games, such as On a Hunt, At the Beach, Sports, At the Zoo, and Bird Watch, each with its own themed hidden objects.
Why It's Fun
Find It is a great game to keep kids occupied in the car or in waiting rooms, but it's also a lot of fun for the family to play together around the dining room table. The game changes every time you play, so you might find a hidden object during one game that you hadn't found before.
Who It's For
Find It is for ages 8 and up.
What to Be Aware of
There is also a deluxe version of Find It that retails for about $32. Deluxe Find It comes with 70 hidden items, a deck of cards, a spinner, a timer, a check pad, and instructions for multiple ways to play.
This game is intriguing, and we found people had a hard time putting it down. You can easily get into the challenge of looking for stuff in the ever-changing tube.

This is so sad. This is confusing? How did 5 young ladies die? A fire starts, they must have banged on the "glass" that separates them and the driver and let him know? not trying to put blame, but something doesn't add up here. A fire starts, why didn't he pull over immediately and they get out? God bless the famlies of all...

Electrical fire . electric doors/windows . electrical intercom = deathtrap!
on May 6, 2013 at 9:39 am
Such a tragic story. Sincerest sympathies to the women involved and all of their families. Rest in peace.
on May 6, 2013 at 9:40 am
Agree, something doesn't add up and suspicious. I suppose the fire could have cut the power to the electric door locks and windows. This would prevent people from inside getting out and people outside from being able to open the door as well. If this was the case, the only other option would have been to break the windows. So why couldn't the driver or escapees break the windows? Don't know. I never tried to break a car window with bare hands and/or feet so I can't say if it's even possible. The escapees being all women probably did not help matters...their high heels would have rendered them trying to kick in the windows with their bare feet...then there's hysteria. Ok, then how about the driver? He would have had shoes on. Shame on him if he did not try to kick in the windows. If he did try and failured, then he is off the hook. Being on the bridge also did not help matters. One would probably not be able to find a rock or some tool to break the window. So sad.
on May 6, 2013 at 11:43 am
yes to last post... kicking out windows, etc. surely they were in a panick, poor girls, but just feels more could have been done here...? I guess no it doesn't matter now...it just seems off.
on May 6, 2013 at 1:47 pm
I hate to be a cynic here, but could drugs be involved somehow - something along the lines of the Richard Pryor incident of long ago? How very, very tragic.

Ryedale MP seeks Commons bus cuts debate
Updated 3:27pm Sunday 26th January 2014 in News By Mike Laycock, Chief reporter
THE MP for Thirsk and Malton is pressing for a change in the law which bans pensioners from contributing towards bus services.
Tory Anne McIntosh has applied for a House of Commons debate over the Concessionary Bus Travel Act.
North Yorkshire County Council leader Councillor John Weighell has estimated that tens of thousands of pensioners in the county want to contribute towards fares to make 150 threatened services financially viable for bus operators.
The authority, which is mid-way through cutting its budget by £168 million, decided to cut its bus subsidies by £2 million last week, despite warnings over the loss of services to sheltered housing estates and doctors' surgeries.
A Department for Transport spokeswoman said the Government was focusing its efforts in making the bus concession more efficient, rather than by cutting back on the entitlement offered to older and disabled people.

Use of COMSOL Multiphysics in the Modeling of Ion Source Extraction
M. Cavenago
Laboratori Nazionali di Legnaro
A two dimensional description of plasma charged sheath and ion extraction, including the complete plasma sheath equation, is proposed and reduced to a system of coupled fields, implemented with use of COMSOL Multiphysics. A separate application of the weak form to the Hamilton-Jacobi and Poisson equations is also described, using five coupled fields.

Embarkation was comparable for all of our cruises. The staff on all three cruise lines was friendly but our Celebrity staff was definitely better than our other cruises. The food on Celebrity was better across the board. Specifically, when we did eat at the buffet, the food tasted better and was much fresher than our previous cruises. The common areas were very nice and much less gaudy than other cruise lines. Also, our cabin 7144 was bigger, cleaner, and more updated than previous cruises (all three have been with the same type of room, balcony).
I don't like to get hounded to stop constantly to get my picture taken. I know this happens on pretty much all cruises, but it was much less often and irritating with Celebrity. I also felt like I was nickel and dimed for everything with Celebrity. Finally, my wife and I are not what I would describe as "party people". The atmosphere on Celebrity is much more subdued which suits us much better. Others might like something different. For example, a Carnival ship left just before us. As they pulled past, there was music blaring and the cruise director was yelling over the PA system. Our departure was much quieter. :)

A packed house at Yankee Stadium Saturday afternoon was on its feet from the moment the late Bob Sheppard's voice announced "Derek Jeter… Number Two" was leading off the bottom of the first inning for the Yankees against the Rays, under sunny skies.
Jeter took a called strike from Rays lefthander David Price, then ball one. Then followed a swing and miss, and Price then missed with a pair of fastballs to run the count to 3-2.
Jeter fouled off two more fastballs, and then bounced the eighth pitch of the at-bat between Rays third baseman Evan Longoria and shortstop Reid Brignac into left field for a clean single, the 2,999th hit of his major league career.
After Curtis Granderson popped up, the inning ended with Mark Teixeira hitting into a double play, and the game went scoreless into the second inning.
We'll update this StoryStream™ further as Jeter has more at-bats in this afternoon's contest.

Love the double oven
By Reg300
from Loveland, OH
Comments about Whirlpool Stainless Double Oven Gas Range:
I love the looks of the oven. I really like the douple ovens. However, I don't like the burners, they are different sizes. I can only cook on high on one burner. I would prefer all of the burner be one size, and if I want to cook on low I would turn the burner down
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

This range is the bomb!
By Kiminc1234
from Eastern, NC
Even though my old range of 18 years burners cooked ok, they were not as efficient as this one's burmers. I love the entire top being grate covered. The smaller upper oven suits my needs and is highly efficient. Haven't burned anything even using broiler! Have not used the lower oven yet.
The oven should be a little deeper
By Mushroom1
from Crawfordsville, In.
I have always wanted a double oven althourh I only do big bakine a couple times a year it makes it so much nicer. the only problem I have come across is the depth of the oven I need to turn my cookie sheets side ways as the will not fit correctly otherwise. Thngs bake very well though. So I LIKE IT!!!!!!!!!!!
This oven has all the features I was looking for.
By Lbens
from Pittsburgh, PA
I'm very happy with this purchase. This oven has many features I was looking for. Absolutely love the double oven. I'm so glad someone thought of this & did away with the unnecessary drawer at the bottom. Also love the warming feature (who needs the expense of a warming drawer? Plus they take up too much room!) I do wish all the burners had the same high capacity btu feature or at least not have the one smaller btu burner, but this would not dissuade me from buying again.
Awesome, use it more than I thought!!
By Deb3616
from Lake in the hills, il
We love it! Cooks efficiently. We use the double oven feature more often than not. Can't imagine not having it now. Had to be pulled away from the wall due to position of gas line would be my only complaint. The top of the oven always looks clean due to the grills and it's easier to clean because of this design.

I like this Refrigerator!
By Britheguy
from Wilmington, Ohio
It is big compared to my old one. I can put everything in it!! The Stainless Steel is a pain to clean all the time!
Great product. Glad I purchased it.

Totally satisfied!
By MugsysMom
from Maine
I love this stove. Everything has worked perfectly so far. I wasn't sure I was going to like the electronic controls, since I wasn't used to them, but now that I've been using the stove for several months, I find them very easy to use. For the most part, I use the small oven, but I have had occasions to use the large oven and both work beautifully. I love knowing that I can bake different foods at the same time at different temperatures. Giving up having a bottom drawer is a very small sacrifice to make. I've found the cook-top very easy to clean. It's just a beautiful stove in every way.
By GRETCHS
from Chicago, IL
I love being able to cook 2 different dishes at the same time, especially when cooking for the holidays or a large amount of people.
Perfect for our growing family
By BigMal27
from Detroit, MI
When our old stove just plain quit, and with a third child coming we needed good performance, simple controls and anything to save time cooking. This range has all that! And style, too.

4.53/5 rDev +14.7%
Drunk from a Riedel Vinum Burgundy glass.
In the bottle there is a relatively intense brown sugary quality with just a whiff of the ol' sour. In the glass it is headless though there is swirling flat one dimensional lacing dots on the surface which creates delicate swirling patterns. Dark chestnut brown with soe rusty red highlights. Considering it has no head it still looks pretty inviting.
There's a slight vinuous quality here too and more intense brown sugary sweetness along with cherries surrounded by a glowing hue. Some overly ripe apple in there too.
No carbonation but smooth, sleek and caressing in the mouth with some wafer like acidity on the way down. There's an gentle elegence here considering that 8% ABV.
Beautifully molded together to create a complete whole for the poet in all of us.
The nose from few drops left at the bottom of the empty glass just go on and on an on. Gorgeous.

4.97/5 rDev +25.8%
I had the good fortune to try one of these recently, and was just overwhelmed. This might be the best beer I've ever had; wish I could get my hands on some more. It was served in a wine glass, and had a hazy red/brown color. The thin head was a light brown. Incredible aroma. An extremely earthy, barnyard aroma, intense but pleasant. Somewhat vinous nose also. It had a sour, dark fruit taste. The earthiness translated into a yeast taste. The flavors intensified as the beer warmed. This was a deep, richly rewarding beer.

Thanks to iowaherkeye. Murky brown color with a white head; interesting retention to it. Smell was mostly sour, but some sweet caramel and cherry seemed to come in as well. Sourness and oak in the taste, but unfortunately there was also some metallic flavors too. Maybe I'm missing the big deal with this one, but it just wasn't that great to me.

Thanks to Exiled for sharing this bottle. I have been waiting to try this one for a while.
The beer pours a brownish-color with red highlights and a very small white head.
The aroma is classic Oud Bruin. I get a lot of caramel and toffee, as well as some brown sugar and tart cherry notes.
The flavor is more of the same. There is a lot of brown sugar and tart cherry notes to give the beer a nice sweet and sour taste profile. I also get some oak and a little bit of vinegar in the flavor.
Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation. Very nice overall.

Thanks for the gift, JealousChalice!
Dark brown and dark ruby in color with very little, practically zero, visible carbonation. This leaves the glass clean on the way down.
Nice aroma, with good amounts of sour cherries and sweet malt, along with earthy toffee, and oak.
The flavor is nice enough, though is significantly hurt by the lack of carbonation. There's decent amount of tart cherry, sour, vinegar, and wood flavor, but the carbonation makes this one tougher to drink than it should be.
Medium bodied with no carbonation.
The lack of carbonation holds this back from being significantly better.

Review no. 700 - time to pull out something special.
A 330ml bottle with a BB of April 2016. 2008 vintage. Acquired some time ago from a Belgian webshop and stored in my garage. I've been looking forward to this one. Love the strange label image...
Poured into a Duvel tulip. A deep reddish-brown hue that appears cherry black in the glass. Virtually no head; just a few flaccid tawny bubbles floating on the surface. I guess the carbonation has gone AWOL. The aroma is rich and intense - a mingling of balsamic vinegar, sherry, wine, cherries, plums, raisins, stone fruits, brown sugar, caramel/molasses and wood. Slightly sweet, with a musty, earthy sourness. There is a whiff of solvent/alcohol in the background (initially hot and reminiscent of acetone), though this mellows out after a while. A fantastically complex olfactory experience!
The taste is fervently sour and fruity, with a lingering dry finish. Notes of balsamic vinegar, sherry, wine, cherries, prunes/plums, dried fruit, brown sugar, caramel/molasses and wood. It possesses an incredible vinous, oxidised quality that puckers the tongue and stimulates the palate. Slightly sweet, with a sharp, piercing tartness. A long fruity finish as the flavours slowly release their hold on your tastebuds. Mouthfeel is smooth and rich, with good body and tingly acidity. However the beer is completely flat and lacking in texture, which spoils the taste and makes it feel thinner than it probably should. Highly astringent - dries the palate. Aftertaste of sweet 'n' sour fruitiness; vinegary and delicious.
Wow - what a beer. The complexity and range of flavours are incredible, even though I find it quite a challenging brew. The sour, vinegar character is nicely balanced by sweetness and fruity notes. The glaring flaw is the lack of carbonation, which detracts from the mouthfeel but also affects the flavour. I'm sure that the experience on the palate would be different with greater CO2 presence. Nonetheless, this is an impressive effort from de Struise and one that I'm happy to have tried. Probably not everyone's cup of tea, but well worth sampling if you have the opportunity.

Bottle shared by Rob – thanks! 2008 vintage.
Pours a slightly hazy deep amber color with a slightly off-white head that leaves decent lacing and good-looking legs.
Smells of medium malts with hints of toastiness and large amounts of lightly tart berry and cherry flavors. As it warms the cherry aromas intensify, similar to cherry cough syrup, in a good way.
Tastes more complex than it smells. Slightly dry medium malts with bready flavors up front are joined quickly by lightly tart cherries. Midway through hints of leather and musty hops come into play, carrying through to a lightly tart ending. Mouthfeel is good, with light carbonation.
Overall I thought the cherry flavors were a bit too heavy for this to be anything more than a good beer. Still, interesting and worth a shot.

I forget who I got this from, but thanks!
11.2oz. Brown bottle, poured into a kbs tulip.
A: Pours a deep murky brown, root beerish. Mild head from mild carbonation, little to no lacing.
S: Pleasant sourness. Nice fruitiness. Not too funky.
T/M: Sour and tartness up front without a ton of funk. Some light fruit in the back. Some odd flavors that I'm having trouble describing... Almost like old fruits or vegetables but I'm probably wrong on that. Some dirty cellar, musty, and woody flavors. Carbonation is very weak and it makes the body feel thin and watery. Not a lot of dryness.
D: Not really digging this one. This was split with beachbun1975 and it was a bit hard to finish my sample.

Lot 10/08/24/03/2011
Purchased through Cracked Kettle, Netherlands
Price - $6.33 U.S/bomber
Aged for 18 months on oak and blended with 30% old and 70% new.
Pours brown with red undertones. A complete lack of bubbles but I think as it continues to mature over time this will change.
A strong aroma of red grapes, cherries and funk from the 70's. A slight presence of vinegar holds it true to the style.
The flavor is tart cherry, brown sugar and oak. An amazing test of balance between sweet and sour.
Mouthfeel is a gentle touch of tart and sticky with a medium body. Fairly smooth as I've moved onto a second bottle. A real treat from start to finish.
Overall I really dig this. It's a sour but not overwhelming. I'm a huge fan of De Struise and this one stands out as a favorite of mine. I first had this several years ago and have been waiting patiently for it's next release.

This beer is actually not retired and is still being made evidenced by the sight of a huge container of cherries floating on top of the fermenting beer I saw at the Struise farm a few weeks back.
This beer was sampled at the Kulminator in Antwerp, in a Struise tulip. Beer poured a deep brown, iced tea like color with a decent head that receeded quickly. Nose had some definite sour cherry notes and a tart character. Taste was wonderful. Cherry taste was fresh but yet there was a wood character from the aging. Nice sour tone all through the beer made this one hard to put down.

This bottle was a gift from the Brabander. Thanks man for sharing.
A - A deep beautiful red beer a delicately hazy. a beige foam ring whit a very big bubbly structure floats on top.
S - Like red wine with cherries added followed by some acidity Terrific fruit presence without being the least bit sweet.
T - A sweet but not to sweet beer that follows the nose: gigantic cherries, some oak, some vanilla on the acetic finish. Lovely.
M - Sticky medium body which could have been thicker to my opinion, practically no carbonation. The beer coats my palate with a cherries, oak and vanilla.
O - This is not my beer, but I am glad that I have tried it once.It is to sour and fruity to my liking. Don't get my wrong I still find it pretty good.

11.2oz bottle poured into Lost Abbey stemware. 2008 vintage.
Head rises slowly to about 1 finger. Fine and cream colored with poor retention. Beer is a semi-cloudy dark, almost opaque mahogany. Lacing is spotty with decent stick. Just about average though the head size and retention are lacking.
Nose is vinegar, oak, sour red fruit, and some slight hints of vanilla. Aromatic and the vinegary sweet fruit characteristics come out nicely.
Opens creamy and tart. Sour red fruit puree mixed with red vinegar and some sweet soy sauce notes. Robust sour vinegar towards the middle with some ethanol poking through. End is more red fruit tartness. Finish is a bit of vinegar spiciness with a lingering hot aftertaste. Enjoyable and the flavors seem to have mellowed and melded together nicely here.
Medium bodied with low carbonation. Smooth and oily in the mouth and goes down silky with some slight bubbles. Finish is messy with a slightly lingering aftertaste. Really drinkable for the style.
Age has really done wonders for this beer. Really smooth with flavors that are well balanced but still distinct and prominent at the same time. A solid representation of the style.

Just came back from another amazing experience at Ebs. Brought friends from Boston, all of whom were expecting the best beer bar in the world and left with nothing saying otherwise. The conversation started with us talking about the Westvleteren 12 and how I had acquired some that I will soon enjoy. He says, I got something you'll like more. After a thrilling 20 minute speech about the different breweries, I will never get tired of listening to him talk about beer, the knowledge he has amazes me, he left us to enjoy our beer and food. A little while later he comes back with a bottle of Earthmonk, and lets everyone at the table have some.
Now I know I am very young, still just 22, but I have had plenty of experience with great beer. This one def topped them all, first of the smell was intoxicating. Infact after the first couple sips, I just sat there smelling this beer, not wanting that smell to leave.
After the first sip, I relized is what unlike any beer I have had before, the different combinations of flavors made a distinct almost earth taste, very odd way to describe it I know.
Either way, this is the best beer I have every had, and most likely will keep that title after I crack my Westlevteren 12, 8 and blonde. Chris is an amazing man, and anyone that has not made it up there is missing an experience that every beer drinker should have.

330ml bottle from Liquid Solutions.
A - Pours a cloudy dark purplish-brown color with no head, only a few bubbles and a ring around the glass. Leaves very slight lacing.
S - Fairly tart with red wine, cherries, wood, and spices.
T - Incredibly vinous, with dry, tart red wine dominating, along with cherry, raisin, brown sugar, vinegar, oak, and spice. This is seriously one of the most wine-like beers I've ever had. Flavor is nice though, tasty and full, and finish is long.
M - Body is medium and the palate is silky smooth. Carbonation is very low, at borderline Lost Abbey levels, but this actually doesn't detract much since this beer is so wine-like.
D - Average to a little better. It's a sipper, sort of like a medium-bodied red wine.

330 mL bottle poured into a De Struise chalice. 2008 on the label, best by 4/27/2016.
Appearance - Pours with no head. A few stray bubbles. A lifeless dirty pondwater brownish red.
Smell - Huge red wine nose to it. I could smell it as I poured it. Balsamic vinegary acidity. Deep malts come through. Molasses? Definitely a chocolate presence to it as well. Oak and some faint greenish herbal notes.
Taste - A multifaceted beer for sure. Lots of brown sugar and molasses with a dose of mild vinegar acidity. Darker malts come through. Slight coffee flavor to it. Adds an interesting dimension. Vinous wine notes and oak. The vinegar sourness comes back with a sharp bite in the finish.
Mouthfeel - Yeah, it's nearly still. It has a tiny bit of carbonation. It doesn't really ruin the beer, but it would be nice to have some carbonation.
Overall - Reminds me of a BFM beer. Incredibly complex with blatant flaws. Not something I could drink regularly, but this was a nice treat this afternoon.

Originally reviewed March 31, 2007. Bottle. Aroma sizzles with excitement in the forum of cherried smoke, glowing peach esters, and fragrant spice stores of Marrakesh. Pours in drawn earth brown. Flavor incredible. Blows me away with sweet and sour cherry vinous complexity. A world of different and indecent cherry characters explode in a room filled with cork, toasted sesame and a lot of blistering sour orange peel and popping coriander seeds. Acidity is sharp, highlighting the drumming complexity of the fruit, earth and spice that dance forth from the glass. More strong cherries before settling to sleep in the grass with kaffir and coconut. Aged balsamic drizzle over a grilled piece of pineapple, cresting the oaken delivery on the smack. Astonishing unique complexity and character. Too be savored for sure.

Poured a flat almost headless dark dirty brown.
This smell is great, big and tart fruit flavors, very classic flemish red.
A nice bit of sweetness mixing in with a touch of cedar. The flavor is very mild, a mixture of light tart dark fruit flavors and a touch of tartness, a little bit of cedar and sourness, but not quite enough to balance out the sweet fruit flavors.
Has a nice medium silky mouthfeel.
A good but not great flemish red.
