August 30, 2014
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) -- A judge is weighing whether to order more specific testing on evidence in a 1979 murder case in a move defense attorneys say could either implicate or clear their client.
Jefferson Circuit Judge James Shake told attorneys on Monday he would have a ruling in the case of death row inmate Brian Keith Moore as soon as possible.
Moore was convicted of killing Virgil Harris in August 1979. Preliminary tests on a shirt, jacket and a check that were in evidence showed DNA from multiple people and could not definitively include or exclude Moore.
Moore's lawyer, David Harshaw, asked Shake for a more specific kind of test that could tell whether the genetic material came from their client.
Assistant Attorney General David Barr told the judge Moore isn't entitled to any more testing.

The Handcuffing of Sheriff Joe ArpaioAugust 2, 2014
Washington's gridlock over fixing the nation's immigration system enabled Arizona's rogue laws, and Sheriff Joe Arpaio's enforcement of them. The courts had the last say.
Here's the story for The National Journal Magazine.
DISPATCH FROM TERRY GREENE STERLINGJuly 31, 2014
Dear Friends,
My 2014 New Year's resolution was to get a website that archived the best of 30 years of ongoing reporting and writing on Arizona and the changing American West.
Well, that hasn't exactly happened yet, largely because I've been reporting and writing.
But slowly, we'll get some of the memorable stories on immigration, crime, politics and environment up on this website.
Thank you for your patience.
Feel free to contact me on the contact form.

Good Riddance to Routine Pelvic Examinations

So much in medicine and in life is done out of habit. We do stuff simply because that's the way we always did it. Repetition leads to the belief that we are doing the right thing.

Massive Data Breach: Time for Sports Analogies?

***Help Save the Colorado River: Pledge Now to the Change the Course Campaign!***
The freshwater team at National Geographic believes the principle of motivated individual action can help to restore the flow of the Colorado River. Together with the Bonneville Environment Foundation and Participant Media, National Geographic has created the "Change the Course" campaign.
August 30, 2014--Five myths about California's drought (Washington Post)
California is experiencing its third-worst drought in 106 years, resulting in idled cropland and soaring water prices. Since the state produces almost 70 percent of the nation's top 25 fruit, nut and vegetable crops, California's pain could soon hit the rest of the country through higher food prices.
August 28, 2014--Residents weigh in on water (Durango Herald)
Nine river sub-basins. More than 10,000 square miles of drainage. Six water compacts and agreements. About 130 identified projects and processes ranging from repairing the spillway at Vallecito Reservoir to improving riparian habitat for three sensitive native fish, including the flannelmouth sucker. Differing, sometimes competing, uses for water, a scarce resource in the arid Southwest.
August 26, 2014--In Colorado, conversation about lawn water use begins (KUNC)
As Colorado plans for a future with more people and less water, some in the world of water are turning to the problem of lawns. In the 2014 legislative session, state senator Ellen Roberts (R-Durango) introduced a bill that would limit lawns in new developments if they took water from farms.
August 25, 2014--How the West was sunk? (Pueblo Chieftain)
Drought is nothing new to the arid West. Vast swatches of Colorado burned in 2012-13, and California, Oregon and Washington are experiencing one of the worst fire seasons in history this year. In the Colorado River basin, Lake Mead is at the lowest levels since it first filled, while Lake Powell is approaching levels too low to generate power.
August 22, 2014--'No more diversions' key message to legislative panel (Post Independent)
Protection of the river ecology and preservation of recreation and agricultural interests was the consistent message heard by a panel of Colorado legislators who convened here Thursday to gather public comments on the new state water plan.
August 22, 2014--Governor thinks new major dam project 'unlikely' (Aspen Times)
Gov. John Hickenlooper told members of the Colorado Water Congress on Thursday that he thinks it's "unlikely" that public opinion in the state has shifted in favor of a new major dam project being built in the state, even in the face of population growth and drought.
August 21, 2014--Sen. Udall speaks on water conservation in Snowmass (Aspen Times)
Climate change is globally impacting natural resources, particularly water supplies, and that can't go unchecked, U.S. Sen. Mark Udall said Wednesday in Snowmass Village.
August 18, 2014--Only bold action will save the Colorado River (Arizona Central)
Reservoirs once filled to the brim from the Colorado and its tributaries are at historic lows due to an unprecedented drought and growing human demands. Shrunken stream flows now pose serious challenges for wildlife and recreation, as well as cities, farms and others who rely upon the river.
August 14, 2014--'Game-changing' initiative could drastically cut water usage for farming (UALR Radio)
Delta Plastics has launched a new water conservation software initiative that leaders say could reduce water usage by 20 percent by the year 2020. "This initiative is the most important conservation effort we have ever launched," said Dhu Thompson, Delta Plastics Chairman. "'Preserving our farmland' has been our company slogan for nearly 20 years.

Whether seated or standing, the view out is well designed and thought through. The WSB team take a look into the new upgrades for the 2014 Princess 60.
It's a Brit award for the new Princess 43February 18, 2014
Princess Yachts International announced the launch of an exciting new addition to the range, the Princess 43 at the end of 2013.

Benefiting from the latest technology and contemporary design, the 2014 model 43 is set to become the new icon in her class. The WSB team takes a unique opportunity to check out this new addition to the Princess Fly range.
Its an Oscar winning performance from the new Princess 88February 26, 2013
Launching in Spring 2013, the new Princess 88 Motor Yacht epitomises everything that is Princess. Powerful, agile and gracefully elegant she has been designed for long range cruising and her deep-V hull utilises the very latest resin infusion technology and so her performance and seakeeping are both impeccable and efficient. We at WSB take a closer look at this new addition from UK boat builder.

So to replace this model is no small feat but the new Princess 52 promises to be a craft that is definitely up to the challenge. WSB takes a closer look at 52 and checks out if the credentials measure up.

The voluntary retirement of 12 senators at the end of this term, including the exceptionally able Sam Nunn of Georgia, Bill Bradley of New Jersey, Nancy Kassebaum of Kansas, Alan Simpson of Wyoming and David Pryor of Arkansas, has caused speculation and distress.
These are people at the top of their game -- people who were likely to be re-elected. How could they walk away from the power and prestige of a Senate seat? Consider a typical day for a typical senator, based on my experience and that of colleagues.
6 A.M. You head to Capitol Hill for breakfast with constituents. You find they have been shocked by an editorial that morning in the largest paper in your state. It accuses you of driving the children of America into the arms of atheism. Why? Because your view of the Constitution obliged you to vote against a bill to require prayer in the public schools.
8 A.M. You discuss the day's agenda with the staff. An aide brings in hundreds of letters that arrived yesterday. You read as many as time permits, then dictate the message you want conveyed to constituents' various concerns.
9 A.M. You have three committee hearings going on simultaneously, and you attend parts of all three, knowing you are spread too thin. Your press secretary slips you a note: 20 reporters have called about your criticism of the President last night. You return some of the calls between hearings.
12 P.M. Your state party chairman calls to say that a handsome golf pro who recently married a very rich woman has decided he wants to be a senator. You think you can defeat him, but will have to raise $10 million in the next two years, instead of $5 million for a normal race.
12:15 P.M. You take prominent businessmen from your state to lunch in the Senate dining room. They agree on the urgency of a balanced budget -- of course, only if it does not mean higher taxes or reduced benefits for them. You pick up the tab.
1 P.M. to 6 P.M. Bells start calling you to votes on the Senate floor. They ring all afternoon. Many are on amendments relating to abortion, flag-burning, pornography and school prayer. None will pass, but their sponsors are eager to make statements for the papers back home. New senators, the ones obsessed with protecting the flag, don't seem equally concerned about protecting the economy. The number of votes, in committee and on the floor, has nearly doubled since 1980, when I entered the Senate.
You go to your party's campaign office (on the Hill) and get a list of people to ask for money. You have to call from there: it's illegal to call from your office. You hate asking strangers for money, but you have the golf pro to worry about.
6 P.M. You attend fund-raisers for two colleagues. Several people call you Gramm because you co-sponsored the Gramm-Rudman Balanced Budget Act. One fellow says, "Gramm, are you really in favor of atheism?" You choke down peanuts and two small sausages for dinner.
8 P.M. You are back on the Senate floor for debate on major budget amendments. The mood is angry, people are bitter, ideologues on both sides reject compromise. Some people won't speak to each other.
1 A.M. The majority leader gives up and adjourns. Late nights have become the rule. You wonder if you'll be able to leave the next afternoon to spend the weekend in your home state. It will be filled with meetings with constituents, fund-raising, town meetings and press conferences.
1:30 A.M. You're home. The family is sleeping. You ask yourself, "Who needs this?"
I have long opposed term limits. For one thing, life in the Senate will increasingly result in self-imposed term limits. When you look at life there, the rush for the exits isn't surprising. I left in 1992. I am 65 years old. I felt 75 in the Senate. I feel 35 now.

The sites for Super Bowl 50 and 51 will be decided on Tuesday and San Francisco and Houston are likely to be chosen as the host cities, according to Jason La Canfora of CBSSports.com.
The NFL owners will vote to decide the host cities on Tuesday, with Miami as the other serious contender for a spot. The owners will choose either Miami or San Francisco to host Super Bowl 50 in 2016 with the loser going up against Houston in a vote for the host city of Super Bowl 51 in 2017. While Miami has hosted 10 Super Bowls, the city's bid for another game took a hit when the Dolphins were denied public money for stadium improvements.
San Francisco is considered to be a strong favorite for Super Bowl 50 thanks to its new $1.2 billion Levi's Stadium, The 49ers' new stadium is scheduled to open in 2014. A number of other cities, including New York, Indianapolis and Dallas have hosted Super Bowls shortly after opening new stadiums.
If San Francisco receives the bid, it will be the second time a Bay Area city has hosted a Super Bowl. Super Bowl 19 in 1985 was played at Stanford Stadium in Palo Alto, Ca. Houston was the host city for Super Bowl 38 in 2004. Owners will first vote on the host for Super Bowl 50 with a three-quarters majority required to decide a winner. If neither Miami or San Francisco receive enough votes, a second vote will be conducted with the majority winner landing the bid. The same process will be completed for the Super Bowl 51 bid.

Lonely Graves - an Introduction
For over a year I have been working on a book about three early murder cases in the Texas Panhandle. Many of you have asked what the book was about and when it would be out. Well the time is almost here, I will be going to the press very soon and the book will be out shortly after that. So…at this time I would like to provide an introduction to all my Panhandle Tidbits friends:
LONELY GRAVES- A Texas Murder Trilogy
October 1897: a Panhandle, Texas Methodist minister decides to slip his faithful wife of seventeen years a lethal dose of strychnine the day after their 17th wedding anniversary.
Christmas Eve 1926: authorities in Parmer County discover the worst case of family annihilation this country has ever recorded after unearthing the remains of eight children and their mother.
June 1930: an Amarillo, Texas peaceful summer morning is turned into pandemonium when a blonde-colored Durant automobile drives through the gates of the quaint Country Club Addition and suddenly explodes, hurling metal and body parts all over the neighborhood.
In each case, the husband is arrested. How does a person who has no doubt loved an individual, taken wedding vows, shared a bed and a life, decide to murder that loved one?
Octave Mirbeau, French journalist, novelist and playwright said, "Murder is born of love, and love attains the greatest intensity in murder."
Interesting concept, but, after going over vast amounts of research, I have come to the conclusion that although each case and each individual is miles apart, the common denominator is an inability to feel compassion. Whether this deficiency is something a person is born with, learned behavior or attributed to environment, is a matter for the professionals.
In so many murder cases, the perpetrator is from a "good family," with responsible and successful parents and siblings. This is true in each of the cases in this book. Each came from hardworking families, they were well respected in their communities, attended church, and two of the subjects had college degrees. All three descended to the lowest depths of society by murdering the person who loved and trusted them the most.
If this looks like a book you'd be interested in reading, check the right side bar to order a copy. The cost is $22.00, plus tax per book (if sold to a Texas address) and postage is $4.00 shipping & handling to anywhere in the continental U.S.
Please let me know if you want a copy by leaving a comment, or by e-mail.
I'd also like to invite all my Panhandle Tidbits friends to follow this blog! Your support and encouragement are very much appreciated.

Campaign Insider
Campaign pioneer Harry Walter dies in Canada
by C&E Staff / Jan 03 2014
Harry Walter, whose ads were credited with helping Willy Brandt remain chancellor of West Germany in a 1972 snap federal election, passed away in his sleep Dec. 31 at his ranch in Canada.
He was considered one of the pioneers of European political consulting and one of the first to bring American campaign techniques across the Atlantic.
A longtime member of the International Association of Political Consultants, he served as the organization's president from 1983
Fundraisers eye FEC after Rep. Stockman accepts Bitcoins
by Sean J. Miller / Jan 03 2014
Despite a lack of clarity from the FEC, at least one prominent Senate candidate is now accepting donations via Bitcoin.
The move has some fundraising experts wondering how the FEC will react. When the commission heard a proposal to allow candidates to accept Bitcoins last November, commissioners were concerned about campaigns collecting the personal data of the donors.
During transactions involving the currency, only the parties' bitcoin addresses are public. The hearing ended
New Year's resolutions for every campaign
by Jason McDonald / Jan 01 2014
Over the last year, I had the opportunity to interview operatives from around the country as host of the "Getting Elected" podcast. At the end of each interview I like to ask my guest, "What's the biggest mistake you see campaigns and candidates making over and over?" Based on their answers, here are the four common mistakes that every campaign should resolve to avoid in 2014.

Success outside the Beltway
by Anne Hathaway / Dec 27 2013
If you're asking yourself whether it makes sense to base your operations outside of the Beltway or set up a regional satellite office, the answer is definitely yes.
Whereas the media power centers are still based in New York and Washington, D.C., the political power centers are rapidly relocating to state capitals.
I saw this firsthand in the spring of 2011 when then-Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels (R) weighed a potential campaign for president. Reporters
The collectible yard sign
by Ben Donahower / Dec 26 2013
What was on my Christmas list? Yard signs, of course. And this season didn't disappoint. But for those politicos whose cravings went unfulfilled by this year's gift haul, don't fret. There's always next year when your Ralphie-esque wish for collectible campaign paraphernalia can come true.
There are two types of yard signs that make for an interesting collection. The first are historically or personally significant yard signs: The candidates that you have worked for and
A consultant's guide to down-ballot fundraising
by Brandon Lewis / Dec 23 2013
If you're a consultant who works for candidates seeking state or local offices, you have your own set of unique fundraising challenges to overcome. Unlike larger federal races or statewide efforts where a full-time finance director is at the helm, your candidate is likely running while holding down a full-time job with part-time campaign staffers or a motley crew of volunteers.
From your perspective, fundraising serves two purposes: It increases the probability that your candidate
Why red state Democrats keep getting left behind
by David Rosen / Dec 19 2013
Will putting the Christ back in Christmas help embattled Democrats? That's a question circulating in the wake of Sen. Mark Pryor's (D-Ark.) latest campaign ad, which begins: "I'm not ashamed to say that I believe in God, and I believe in His word." The ad is a tender, if blunt, assertion that faith should trump partisanship. It defines Pryor in explicitly religious terms, but why is he doing it, and what does he hope
Will USPS follow Canada's delivery cut?
by Sean J. Miller / Dec 13 2013
It's rare for consultants to look north of the border to read the tea leaves in Washington but when it comes to the future of mail delivery that's exactly what happened this week.
After Canada Post announced it plans to phase out urban home delivery over the next six years and increase stamp prices, mail consultants wondered if the U.S. Postal Service could make a similar move to stop its $5 billion-annual net
Purple Strategies hires ex-Bush, Obama advisors for New England office
by C&E Staff / Dec 12 2013
Purple Strategies is expanding into New England and bringing on two New Hampshire consultants. True to the firm's bi-partisan focus, they've hired a strategist from each party.
Former Bush family advisor Patrick Griffin, who is the CEO of GY&K Marketing, the largest advertising, strategic communications, and integrated marketing firm in Northern New England, will join the firm together with 2008 Obama campaign advisor Jim Demers, who's a former state lawmaker and president and CEO of
GOP tech startup finds home in Austin
by Sean J. Miller / Dec 11 2013
The words "Republican consulting firm" and "tech startup" aren't exactly synonymous, particularly in Austin, the liberal bastion of Texas. Justin Gargiulo, a campaign veteran from Connecticut, hopes to change that.
VoterTrove, the firm Gargiulo founded in March 2012, recently joined the Capital Factory, Austin's prestigious business incubator program, which even President Obama has taken note of. Gargiulo's firm is the first political startup accepted into the program. Both sides noticed.
"Their only concern was,
Lessons from McAuliffe '13: Go digital early and often
by C&E Staff / Dec 10 2013
The McAuliffe campaign is being held up as a paragon of digital advocacy.
Since defeating Republican Ken Cuccinelli in November, the Virginia governor-elect's campaign has been widely recognized as one of the best-run efforts of 2013 and part of the reason for that was its use of digital advertising -- at least according to the consultants who helped the Democrat to a narrow victory.
"A clear pattern has been developing for years now. Campaigns
Did Rep. Barrow show Sen. Pryor how to advertise?
by Sean J. Miller / Dec 05 2013
God and guns are the new stars of Democratic TV advertising in the South.
The combo are veteran cast members of the GOP's regional spots, but endangered Democrats and their consultants increasingly see touting faith and firearms as the best way to distinguish their candidates from the national party.
"The key to succeeding in an ad is being authentic and meeting the voters where they are, but it has to be true to you as

Four strategies that you can use to make your newsletter and promotional content more relevant to your subscribers.
Back in February, BtoB Magazine reported that more than half of the respondents to its "Email Marketing Benchmarks: Best Practices" survey said "Delivering highly relevant content" was on their "to do" lists for 2011.
Although many marketers have the best of intentions, they don't know where to start to deliver on email's promise of relevancy.
This week we will discuss some strategies that you can use to make your newsletter and promotional content more relevant to your subscribers.
1. Collect preferences regularly. The information your subscriber offered you a year ago or even just a few months ago represents their interests at that specific point in time and could be very different today.
Reach out to your subscribers regularly to encourage them to update their preferences. Include a regular reminder in the header or footer of your newsletter or promotions.
Also, schedule a standalone email or newsletter feature at least every quarter that reminds subscribers to update their preferences and reinforces the benefits they will receive from accurate preferences.
Update your preference center to present categories of the type of email messages you send. This will give you the flexibility to add or subtract programs over time. Examples include promotions, alerts, your newsletter, subscriber account information, etc.
2. Track behavioral data. Consistently categorize the links in your email and website content. Track the kinds of content your subscribers interact with most often.
Email click data and website browse behavior are among the most effective ways to determine what your subscribers are in-market for at the present moment. Below are several examples of these categories:
In the short term, you can use the category to segment the list and follow up with customers who clicked on a specific category of content. This kind of campaign is highly relevant and typically has one of the highest conversion rates.
In the long term, track the kinds of content your subscribers prefer, and use this data to optimize your creative and set your newsletter editorial calendar.
3. Leverage hot content. Build your content around industry news and hot business trends important to your subscribers to boost your credibility and authority in your industry.
Follow important trade magazines. Survey subscribers to determine the month's hot topics. Publish comments from an authoritative employee in your organization on these issues in order to establish your company as a trusted advisor in the industry.
This timely and helpful content will lead to increased email sign-up as the word gets out in the industry that you are a valuable information source.
4. Develop modular content. Making your content more relevant to a specific segment is often as simple as changing one piece of content in your email. To do this effectively, you have to think about the parts of your email promotion or newsletter creative instead of the content as a whole.
Designing your creative with modular content offers you the flexibility to change one piece of content dynamically without having to burn additional creative resources to design, build, and test the content you are not changing over and over again.
Just one new module, created with minimal incremental effort can make your newsletter content become more relevant for a specific segment.
Modular content also gives you the ability to spread the creative workload over a longer period of time, rather than just the typical build time for a campaign.
For example, your header or footer might need to be created only once and used again and again. Other content might need to be updated only quarterly or monthly. This allows your creative team to spend more time creating modules relevant to a specific segment.
The Last Word
Delivering highly relevant content isn't as daunting as many marketers believe. It is often as easy as identifying some key segments through subscriber preferences or behaviors and changing the content in one module to address their specific wants and needs.
Although we are wrapping up the first half of the year this week, it still isn't too late to cross "Deliver more highly relevant content to our subscribers" off your 2011 "to do" list.

On the one hand, we begin YT Sheini, starting with S'firat ho'Omer and we also recite those Maaroviyot that deal with K'tzirat ho'Omer which took place on the 16th of Nissan - See EG Kitzur SA 120:5 for some details.
On the other hand, regarding YT Sheini of Sukkot, we are told NOT to mention the Korban of the 2nd day in Mussaf that should be mentioned due to s'feika d'yoma - because that would be a zilzul of YT Sheini d'Galuyot.
See O"Ch Ba'er Hetev 663:2 quoting a Rashi in Megillah 30
Also Mishnah Brurah 663:3
Sha'ar haTziyun 2
So - why does reciting the Maaraviyot of Ketzirat ho'Omer during YT Sheini of Pesach does not pose the same issue of zilzul YT as does reciting the korban "Uvayom Hasheini" on YT Sheini of Sukkot?

The Grove's Got Some Growing Pains
By Mabel Suen
With all due respect to Nelly, the Bottle Rockets are the St. Louis area's best musical ambassadors and finest portraitists. The band has created a Macondo of the Midwest, populated with radar-crazed cops, dive-bar country queens, friends doing time for possession or DWIs, Tilt-a-Whirl riders, young lovers hanging at the DQ, Confederate-flag-waving hosses, moms on welfare, gearheads kicking $1,000 cars and divorcées contemplating passing trains. It's a real place, never sentimental. But it's magical, too: With guitars cranked to 11 and a rhythm section rumbling like a slant-six stoked on STP, everything seems possible and the Stag goes down like nectar.
You never know when those working-class stiffs and dreamers will get lucky. And you never know when the Bottle Rockets will surprise you. Even the mostly disappointing Brand New Year had the scorching ode to Nancy Sinatra, and the group's latest record, Songs of Sahm (Bloodshot) revives some of Doug Sahm's lesser-known tunes with a whole lot of Festus soul. The Bottle Rockets are as honest and unpretentious with those songs as they are with the Midwest underclass. They don't shy away from Sahm's hippie spirit, and they rock "I'm Not That Kat Anymore" and "You Can't Hide a Redneck (Underneath That Hippie Hair)" like no other band could. Onstage, their magically real Midwest world comes to hell's-bells rock & roll life, and you do not want to miss it.

Pre-School Education and School Performance The Case of Public Schools in Montevideo
AbstractIn this paper we try to explain the academic performance of a sample of children starting their first year at public schools in 1999 in Montevideo, Uruguay. We are mainly interested in the effect of pre-school education on the children's academic results. We found fairly strong empirical evidence to suggest that having pre-school education has a short term positive effect on these children's results in the first year at school, and the long-term effect, after six years, seems to be somewhat weaker but is still positive. We also estimated several other factors connected with schools and with households that might lie behind children's short-term and long-term performance. It is important to note that the results for boys are clearly differentiated from those for girls.

For a month in the Philippines, this and negra were standbys.
Pours a brilliant light golden straw with a half inch white head that dissipates fairly quickly, leaving modest lacing.
Corn, grain, butter, fruity esters, and light floral hops form the aroma.
Flavor reveals more diacetyl, with corn and grain at the backbone, fruity esters throughout, and a slight bitterness at the finish.
Body is moderate, with carbonation a tad high, and slight alcohol warmth.
Much more diacetyl than I recall, and the fruity esters are offputting, as well as the alcohol heat.

Please don't bother with this one if you have an alternative, it's a rather poor strong lager. It is the best beer in the Philippines, but that's not saying much at all. There it comes in 650ml bottles and is far superior to the more dominant San Miguel Pale Pilsener from the same brewery. SMPP is just an insipid pale lager with an unpleasant aftertaste.
In the Philippines, as far as bang for the buck and flavor, this is the one. As in many countries, the one brewery controls most, if not all, of the market. And as in most of southern Asia, all the available brews are sub-par.

Poured from about an inch above the glass give this beer a medium or slightly more white head that quickly dies to about half an inch that slowly settles into a very light bubbly lacing above a clear golden colored light bodied beer.
Aroma of sour grains, lighter lemon citrus, and even lighter hints of yeast.
Watery light sour grain malt taste with even lighter lemon citrus coming through.
A dry aftertaste with some lemony citrus hanging around.
This beer is kind like a sub-par American light beer like Bud Light, boo these guys for pretty a less than beer beer in a cool looking bottle and using up a decent name that an Irish Red would have been proud to carry.

2.53/5 rDev -8%
330ml bottle, 7% ABV. A brew which seems to come and go from Alberta store shelves, and is readily confused with the malt liquor cans. Glad I could snatch a single in Stampede City.
This beer pours a clear medium golden yellow colour, with one finger of loosely foamy, and quite audibly fizzy dirty white head, which leaves the meekest burps of EKG lace around the glass as it very readily settles.
It smells of sweet corn grist and overcooked white rice, a mild sweet alcohol ester 'character', and a weird musty, dusty dryness. The taste is a mite bit drier - thin apple cider, a fickle weak graininess, an indeterminate plastic sourness, and some further musty, dusty, er, hops, I guess.
The carbonation is mopey and average, kind of resigned to its fate (I can sympathize), the body a thin, sugar-buoyed medium weight (just barely, sports fans), and smooth, with a gagging sidebar. It finishes sweet, grainy, slightly boozy, and reserved in its nicely understated skankiness.
A malt liquor, sure - it's got all the trademarks, yet that overused concept of 'drinkability' strangely applies here, dunno why. Oh, right, I've suitably lowered my expectations, a la re-runs of SNL.

Had a bottle with a skillet of sisig at Maharlika in NYC. Overall, it wasn't offensive, but it was also pretty boring. It tasted like a bland, clean export lager, with none of the vegetal off-flavors that usually come with a malt liquor. I guess that's good. Don't feel the need to the try this. San Miguel would have been a slightly more interesting beer.

3.46/5 rDev +25.8%
Pours an effervescent gold with 3 fingers of fast falling eggshell colored head. Slightly below average head retention & lacing
S: Pears, white grapes, some perfumy notes, some honey suckle notes
T: Sweet apples, dryness & white grapes up front. More of the same as this warms, big time apple blossom balanced by just a little by mineral & citrussy hops. Finishes cidery & dry
MF: Medium bodied, lively carbonation, skews sweet
Drinks easy for the ABV, doesn't really taste like a malt liquor to me, too fruity & smooth. Not bad, I'm sure if I drank enough, a fierce hangover could be had... Better than its rating, but having had this in past, I would say this beer probably goes down hill quickly if exposed to UV light or to much heat. If given limited choices, this might work, other wise caveat emptor on this

Whoo, Malt Liquor from the Philippines. Let the good times roll...
Crystal clear straw color, thin layer of white foam on the surface. Minimal spotty lacing.
Mealy corn silage, wet grains and wet dishrag notes in the aroma. When cold it's fairly muted, its suggested to keep as ice cold as possible.
Sharp astringent alcohol, apple, dull flavors, light watery carbonation, though it has a fuller feel to the body for an AML. Dull grains, dry finish with some perceptible alcohol in the taste. Plain and rough around the edges... not the most terrible malt liquor out there, but still not worth revisiting.

County considering domestic partner benefits
DOWNTOWN AKRON — Summit County is considering extending health insurance to domestic partners of county employees.
During its Sept. 9 meeting, County Council's Personnel and Intergovernmental Committee recommended Council adopt an ordinance that would amend certain sections of the county's codified ordinances to provide the benefits for domestic partners, as well as more clearly indicate they are available for spouses and dependents.
Jason Dodson, chief of staff for County Executive Russ Pry, said the main reason for the change is that benefits for domestic partners are becoming more commonly available for employees in both the public and private sectors.
He added that 422 of the companies on the Fortune 1000 list offer health benefits to domestic partners, including Wal-Mart.
In the public sector, Dodson said Kent State University, Cuyahoga County, the city of Cleveland and Franklin County offer health coverage to domestic partners.
Dodson also said the county doesn't know how many people might be added to the county's health care rolls if the change is made, but a consultant estimated the county could see anywhere from $40,000 to $80,000 in additional costs. The county's health care costs are at about $31.5 million, Dodson added.
Councilman Bill Roemer (R-at large) confirmed with Dodson that the benefits in Summit County would be available to both same sex and opposite sex domestic partners, while Cuyahoga County offered the benefits to only same-sex partners.
Councilwoman Gloria Rodgers (R-District 3) raised questions about the morality of extending benefits to couples that aren't married.
"I have a problem with us devaluing marriage," she said. "As a government agency, we need to be careful what we do."
Other Council members said they support the idea. Pry and the nine Democrats on Council sponsored the legislation.
"If we're going to talk about moral issues, this is about strengthening families," said Sandra Kurt (D-at large).
Dodson said another reason for the ordinance is consistency, as the county has already allowed employees to use sick leave to care for ill family members, including domestic partners.
Should the benefits be extended, Dodson said couples would be required to sign a legally binding affidavit to prove that they are in a relationship.
Also Monday, Council took the first step toward forming a current Charter Review Commission.
Council's Personnel Committee recommended Council adopt a motion appointing Patrick Darrow, Richard Dobbins, Laraine Duncan, Daniel Flowers, Helen Humphrys, Kyle Kutuchief, Angelina Milo, Carmen Roberto and Cazzell Smith to the commission.
County Council will meet Sept. 16 at 4:30 p.m. for caucus, followed by a regular meeting in Council Chambers on the seventh floor of the Ohio Building, located at 175 S. Main St.

Unity Debacle Sets Back Ubuntu On The ARM Desktop
Published on 11 September 2012 02:45 PM EDT
Written by
Michael Larabel
17 Comments
Unity 2D being abandoned
only providing Unity + Compiz in Ubuntu 12.10
as the default desktop, the out-of-the-box experience for low-powered ARM hardware on the stock Ubuntu desktop is a mess.
Last month the decision was made by Canonical to do away with Unity 2D now that
is coming into shape as a decent Gallium3D software rasterizer inside Mesa. LLVMpipe has been talked about since its very early days on Phoronix for
running OpenGL on the CPU
. With this being the default software fallback now in order to support Compiz, rather than going with the Qt-based Unity 2D, it's okay for x86 users.
In the x86 world most hardware has open-source 3D drivers that ship "out of the box" in Ubuntu so you always have 3D hardware acceleration and never have to worry about this Compiz/Unity-over-LLVMpipe. If you don't have a hardware driver or have to deal with this software fallback for a few minutes until getting around to installing the proprietary graphics driver, LLVMpipe is okay. LLVMpipe is powerful enough on a modern multi-core x86 CPU to handle the compositing window manager, especially if you're running 64-bit software and your CPU supports modern features like SSE4 and
emerging AVX support
In the ARM world, it isn't quite as smooth. While there's projects materializing like
for ARM Mali graphics,
for Qualcomm hardware, and other emerging open-source reverse-engineering graphics on ARM SoCs, none of the 3D support is yet at a proper stage for end-users. As such, these open-source ARM 3D drivers aren't shipping in Ubuntu so basically there is no out of the box 3D support for Ubuntu on the ARM desktop.
Ubuntu does package like the official OMAP binary blob for 3D support, but it's not enabled by default, just the open-source kernel mode-setting drivers like OMAPDRM and the Samsung Exynos DRM. Therefore if you happen to be manually installing Ubuntu ARM's desktop image with 12.10 Quantal, you will always be hitting this LLVMpipe desktop fallback, at least initially until installing the binary graphics drivers.
Many Phoronix readers have been wondering what the current Unity experience is now like having this Unity 2D support removed, so here's some pictures from running the PandaBoard ES with the official OMAP4
Ubuntu 12.10 Beta
desktop image... It's just outright broken for now:
The PandaBoard ES OMAP4460 boots up, Plymouth appears with the OMAPDRM driver being loaded, and when it comes to loading the Unity desktop, the above pictures show what happens. That's the end of the story for where it's at now.
Gallium3D's LLVMpipe driver on ARM can work: with Fedora 17 on the PandaBoard ES the GNOME Shell with Mutter does work, albeit it's not the fastest desktop when using this software graphics acceleration. LLVMpipe implements OpenGL 2.1 with support for some newer GL3 extensions, although these problems experience here might be related to some fallout from
the recent OpenGL changes in Compiz
. Regardless, be forewarned that if you're using ARM development boards like the PandaBoard and hoping to try out these Ubuntu 12.10 snapshots, it might not be a pleasant "out of the box" experience.
Hopefully this situation will be resolved by Ubuntu 12.10 final in October, but even still the default LLVMpipe experience on ARM will likely be sluggish due to lack of ARM-specific optimizations as well as the current-generation ARMv7 hardware not being too fast for handling this software rasterizer.
My suggestion for those manually playing with the Ubuntu ARM images that care about a desktop would be to use the Ubuntu ARM server pre-installed image. From there you can boot directly to a console, which is nice thanks to the KMS support from OMAPDRM. After that you can install Xfce or LXDE and have a much more pleasant experience rather than dealing with the Unity situation. If you just care about Ubuntu ARM on the server, you have nothing to worry about.
While out of the scope of Ubuntu 12.10, longer-term I hope Ubuntu, Linaro, and/or other developers will tackle ARM optimizations within Gallium3D/LLVMpipe. ARM NEON support within LLVMpipe is a potential area for some speed-ups along with other general optimizations, which are common for this LLVM-based software driver in x86 but there hasn't been much ARM work by Mesa developers.
In talking with some of the Linaro developers recently, it may be tough to sell the idea to Linaro for working on Mesa/Gallium3D improvements since the ARM vendors backing Linaro and deciding where resources are to be allocated are more geared towards Android's advancement.
Mesa does work on Android
, but it's not in any real use in the Android ARM world at this point, so the investment may be hard to justify for the SoC vendors. Though when the LLVMpipe driver is able to handle things like the
Clover state tracker
for OpenCL on the processor or other interesting use-cases, besides OpenGL with the Mesa state tracker, new doors might be opened...
It's a pity though there's now these Ubuntu ARM desktop troubles for 12.10 since overall the ARM support is in great shape:
Ubuntu 12.10 Sets To Make ARM Even Stronger
Ubuntu 12.10 Prepares To Improve Linux Performance
, and
Ubuntu 12.10 Continues Strong On The PandaBoard ES

Agreed, on both points. Especially the last one. Good god I hate Ayn Rand. I always remember that story about how she screamed after a departing lover, "Wait - this isn't REASONABLE."

text: First post from Chargers fan in Atlanta. Anyway what do you guys of doubling up early on the corner position in the upcoming draft? Something like this 1. CB Kyle Fuller (great review already on this site) 2. Edge rusher-Jeremiah Attaochu, with proper coaching could really develop 3. CB Walt Aikens-big athletic corner, reacts well, good ball skills; alot of experience in zone and man-off coverage; like him more than some corners that will go higher Rest of Draft NT/DT Zach Kerr would love to see a write up on him WR- Tevin Reese? round 5 or 6 OG-Trai Turner wold be a good developmental player in the 4th or 5th round Just some thoughts from down South
