Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene

With this indecisive fall weather, sunglasses can easily become a forgotten mishap. That is, unless you're sporting a pair from Bulgari's new Le Gemme line. The jewelry company threw a fête at the Soho branch of Ilori to celebrate the haute joaillerie sunglasses, and considering the price tags—styles reached upward to $44,000 with rose gold, colored gems, and diamonds—the collection wasn't the kind to be carelessly misplaced."I've worn one of the black sunglasses with the little flowers on the side out in Cannes," Kirsten Dunst said. The Melancholia actress pulled off the retro fifties- and sixties-inspired cat-eye shape with aplomb, encased for the evening in polished glass cases with walls of real foliage and climbing roses as backdrop. She had more trouble on the Pasadena, California, shoot for the fragrance Bulgari Jasmin Noir. "It was a stuffed lion, so not the easiest co-star," Dunst said. "There was a real lion, but he was kept separate. It was the same lion as the Narnia film The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe." Notable felines seemed to be a theme for the night. Hannah Bronfman, Jessica Joffe, and Ten lingerie's Daphne Javitch were among the admirers of the blinged accessories. Bronfman, though, had clothing in mind. "I've just been working on the upcoming collection," she said of her collaboration with Organic by John Patrick, due out next spring.

Recap | Final Stats | Notes | Photo Gallery
Utah Head Coach Kyle Whittingham
Opening statement:
"This was a good start to the season. There was some good and some bad but mostly good. It did take us four possessions to score and that's a negative and we turned the ball over on the first possession, but once the offense got into a rhythm, they played a clean ball game, and that's a positive. There were no drops and very few penalties."
On players who stood out:
Jordan [Wynn] threw the ball efficiently, near a 70 percent completion percentage. John White did his thing. That was about what we want out of him, about 24 or 25 carries. That's about what we thought heading into the season that his workload should be and that's exactly what it was tonight. Jake Murphy has unbelievable ball skills for a tight end. He'll be a factor for us all season. Dres Anderson started to show up this afternoon. I was pleased with the offense after the slow start. Travis Wilson gave us a few things when he came into the game in the fourth quarter and threw a couple completions. He looked like he was pretty poised in there.
On the defense and special teams:
The defense did exactly what it was supposed to do. They played tough against the run, won third downs, got a couple of takeaways, and got a shutout. You don't always do what you're supposed to do so [when you do] that's a positive. Obviously, we have some issues with the placekicking game. We missed a chip-shot field goal and a PAT. That's an area we have to improve in because there will come a time this season when we'll have to rely on placekicking to win a game for us. Other than that, special teams were pretty good. With the new rule, in kickoff coverage our theory is to place the ball on the goal line and most of the time tonight, our coverage stopped them before the 25 yard line. Punt game was good even though we didn't punt a lot. We never really got the punt return game going. We had a couple blocked up a couple times, but couldn't get to the wall soon enough.
On playing Utah State next week:
Overall, it was a decent start. Obviously, the degree of difficulty gets much higher next week. We're going to have to play good football up in Logan. They're going to be well-coached. I think Gary [Anderson] has done a lot of great things with that program."
Junior quarterback Jordan Wynn
On his performance:
"It was a good win. Obviously, we'd like to start a little faster on offense. A lot of that has to do with me. If I don't throw that pick in the first series, it sets up the rest of that series and the rest of the game. We responded well and had a good second and third quarter to put them away."
On the interception in the first drive:
"I just put a little too much air on the throw. The wind took it, but that's no excuse. I have to put it out there. I just under-threw it. It wasn't one of my better throws."
On the offense:
"We were pretty good in the red zone and on third down. We did some good things. We ran the ball well and threw the ball effectively. We have didn't have too many penalties and played a clean game. We have to continue to do that."
On the record drive:
"It was just one of those drives where we grinded out some third and fourth-down conversions. The whole offense just did a good job of realizing situations. We were bring up in the huddle what the down and distance was and the receivers were making plays along with John [White] was running the ball well. It was a collective great job with all of us being very focused and in tune to finish that drive."
Utah quarterback Travis Wilson
On rushing for two touchdowns in first three carries:
"I was really excited that I got my name called to go out there and run a little bit. I got some good blocks and was able to get into the end zone."
Utah running back John White
On what was going through his mind after first quarter:
"[I was just thinking] put points on the board. It was frustrating but I knew we would get it together and that showed at the end."
Utah tight end Jake Murphy
On his performance:
"It was awesome to get the opportunity. [Offensive coordinator Brian Johnson] calls the plays and was pretty confident in me coming into the game. I was just happy that he called them. We just executed well and I'm happy with it."
Northern Colorado Head Coach Earnest Collins Jr.
Thoughts on team's performance -
"The thing that was great for me is that our kids played extremely hard. They kept battling and kept fighting. We had some miscues on offense and defense, and couldn't get it going in the return game, but I was proud of our kids."
How encouraging was it to hold Utah scoreless in the first quarter -
"You can shut them out one quarter, but you have to sustain it for four quarters. That's what it's all about; football is played in four quarters. That's the deal with playing a game up a level. You can hang with them in the beginning, but then their depth outweighs your depth and a few key guys go down--we have three starters that went down in this game--that part sucks. Now you've got to go 10 more games and you're without--I don't know how long--without our All-American. It sucks in that sense."
Update on tonight's injuries -
"Devontae Chapple didn't finish the game. (Rick) Aversano didn't finish the game, neither did Robert Holland. I don't know what the extent is."
On how Utah scored twice and almost a third time late in the first half -
"The third one was the coach being a dumb-dumb. With 34 seconds left, I told our offensive coordinator to work on the two-minute offense, and you've got a 7-foot-2 guy bat the ball down and you can't get it over his head. That put us behind right away. Thanks to our defense we were able to hold them to what shouldn't have even been a field goal."
Where's the confidence level of the team now -
"Our team is fine. You're down because, like I said, one of our key people didn't finish the game. He's a well-liked guy and one of the leaders on our team. But our kids aren't down. They're pissed off they didn't win the game, and we didn't score any points. But it's one game. Even if we'd won it, it's just one game. We'll regroup and get back to practice on Sunday, watch the film tomorrow and be ready to go."

AA has a near perfect game
Arron Afflalo, arguably the hardest working Ben Ball Warrior and a true bruin, had the game of his pro career thus far. In 36 minutes he had 24 pts on 9-11 shooting (6-7 on threes), 2 rebounds, 1 steal, 7 assists, 0 turnovers. His +/- was +12 as Denver beat Charlotte 104-93 (though the nuggets were without Carmelo)

I can't figure out why and I want to improve my technique cuz it's difficult to keep the rythm on the bass when screaming... :S
i would assume its because when you scream, you are holding the note which makes it hard to play cuz you cant look down and your bass.

If you can't be at the Derby this weekend, Ellis Park might be the next best thing. They saw a big crowd on Friday and expect an even bigger one on Saturday.
Director of Operations Robert Jackson says he expects attendance to reach around 1,500. He says that people have been betting on between 12-14 different races including the Kentucky Oaks.
Jackson says Ellis Park opened at 9 A.M. on Friday morning. All their TVs, including their jumbotron screen on the track is focused on Churchill Downs. Many people 14 News talked with say the festivities are a great way to celebrate Derby weekend close to home.
"You can come today, get your programs and racing forms, you can advance wager, you can bet the Derby, and the Oaks Derby double," says Jackson. "It's like being at the Derby without being at the Derby, especially tomorrow. It's a big, carefree, happy-go-lucky atmosphere."
Ellis Park opens to celebrate the Kentucky Derby on Saturday at 8:30 A.M..

If you have been looking at used cars for sale, you know that there are tons…TONS…of options out there. There are used cars for sale on car lots, in people's front lawns, on car sites or in classified ads like you'll find here on recycler.com. Options…and lots of them.
So if you are trying to pick just one with so many options, how do you dwindle down the choices until you can narrow it down to that one vehicle that is right for you? It can be a tough and sometimes frustrating process.
However, a little hard work, some research and a bit of perseverance can help you target the perfect one out of all the used cars for sale…and hopefully, still have some money left over to celebrate your new ride!
Step One: Think
Oh that makes sense, right? Yet, we make snap decisions all the time when we are shopping. So this time, actually stop and think about your needs and your wants (and definitely weigh the former more heavily).
What you need is a solid idea of the type of used car that you want and will fit your lifestyle. If you rush into a buying a used car, you might end up with an impractical sports car, a gas guzzler, or even worse, a lemon!
Think before you buy! But first…research!
Step Two: Research
You might have your idea of the type of car you need. It's right there in the front of your brain as the perfect ride for you, but is it really? It's time to read up and find out for sure. Before making any purchases, do your research. You need to know exactly what you are getting into.
Find out if the vehicle typically has a longer running life. If you do have to repair the car, is it an expensive model to do routine work on or can you possibly do the work on your own? What kind of gas mileage does it get?
Make sure you made the right choice and that the car you want is in an appropriate price range. If you happen to learn deep into the research that the car might not be right, go back to Step One…rather than having wasted a ton of money, you've only spent some of your time.
If everything is good and you know you've made the right decision, it's time to search.
Step Three: Play the Field
Think of this like being single before high school prom. You are looking to ask a beautiful girl or handsome boy. Ask the first thing that almost-kinda-sorta fits the bill? Hell no. You want to wait and try to find the most attractive and most durable date that won't cost too much and won't break down on you after a year or two…are we still talking about prom dates?
Whether you are buying from a dealer or private seller, you're going to want to make sure to get the best deal and, more importantly, the best quality car you can afford.
Even if the price is right and the car looks great, you want to test the car out before buying it!
Step Four: Take it for a Spin
The used car you are eying looks great. It appears to be in great condition. It has smooth lines and beautiful curves. It even smells great!
But does it drive? And does it drive well?
DO NOT make the mistake of not driving a used car before purchasing it. The test drive is everything. And don't be afraid to ask a lot of questions. In fact, it's nearly imperative that you ask a lot of questions. Let the seller do the talking and who knows what he/she might reveal while you're on the open road.
Take note of any things you think might just be small blips. Is there any kind of vibration? How does it handle small bumps? Is the car pulling to a particular side? How does it feel when you try to accelerate? How does it handle inclines?
You should also try to schedule the car for an inspection with a mechanic you trust. All those small notes you collected on the test drive should be passed on. The mechanic can then inform you of any issues or potential future troubles. This will help save you from wasting a bunch of money in the future on used car parts.
If you like how it rides, and your mechanic approves it, it's time to negotiate.
Step Five: Making An Offer
Here's your chance to show your bargaining skills. Don't go "The Price is Right" and offer $1, but shoot a little low and have a firm top-end number. Don't waver on your top end. Remember there are thousands of used cars for sale out there. If the seller can't meet your high-end number, then stick firmly to your guns and walk away.
More than likely, you will be able to slowly go back-and-forth with offers and counteroffers and then come to a common ground somewhere in the middle. But again, stick to your budget so you aren't regretting your used car purchase as soon as you get your first bank statement.
But after you've agreed to a deal and the paperwork has been signed, sealed and delivered, grab those keys and drive into the sunset!

Im experiencing problem focusing a close object like a pen. sometimes when I try to focus the same area on an object it will show red cursor always instead of green cursor with a beep sound.
I hope there is an manual focus options for us because its quite frustrating when im unable to focus the things I wanted.
Hope there is a firmware upgrade for manual focus functions.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi zlebronjames,
I don't know if you want to take a photo or a video. Nevertheless, go to Scenes -> Close up, or go to Creative Mode, then tap and hold your finger anywhere on the screen. A focus mode menu appears. Choose "Close-up". Done!
27-03-2013 22:52
I get poor focus on my 808 too, sometimes.
I think it is caused by its focus being always "spot focus" - a single point.
All expensive modern cameras have multi-point focusing, which makes it highly likely that the camera will find at least one spot on which it can get good contrast or texture to focus on.
The 808 does it on just one point.
Let's say you are photographing a person, front-on, standing up. The focus rectangle will probably be on the middle of their body, and if they are wearing a plain-colour coat or dress, with no texture, the camera won't focus on it. No camera can autofocus on a plain sheet of paper for example.
I have been photographing "everything" since the 1970s and it does suprise me that the 808 often fails to focus, but when I take care to let the camera find a decent focus point, it works great. The 808 is just not a great "point and shoot and not use your brain at all" camera, unless you are shooting landscapes.
An entirely separate issue is its shallow depth of field, caused by the wide aperture of 2.something and the large sensor. A lot of people like that, of course.

From the article: Five Simple Rules for Dating with IBS
Dating with IBS presents some unique challenges. IBS bodies often choose the most inconvenient time to act up, adding an interesting twist to a budding romance. In order to reduce the sense of isolation that IBS sufferers often experience, I offer you a place to share your tales of dating disasters or heartwarming stories of true love. What has your experience been in terms of dating with IBS? Share your story here - the good, the bad and the embarrassing. Tell Your Tale!
Boyfriend has IBS
- When his IBS starts acting up, he turns into the meanest person I've ever met in my life. He takes it all out on me, and says the absolute meanest things a person could possibly say to another person. I truly don't deserve it. I put up with it because I love him and I know it's not his fault he has IBS, but why won't he just stop being an a**hole? I know he can still use his brain when his stomach hurts. I can't lie, I do feel like giving up sometimes, but I can't/won't.

Years of loneliness
- My life seemed unstoppable and fearless until this dreaded ibs-d has taken complete control of my life in my mid twenties. Its ruined my marriage my social life and any relationship. Not everybody is supportive about the condition. I've dated girls that have made me feel so small and embarrassed when I would have bad flare-ups. Yeah its true. I wish just once to meet a woman that is supportive like these stories Ive read. I've come to realize that their are more mean people than compassionate in life. I've given up on relationships. I've chosen to just live a lonely life because its easier, safer. Years have passed, now 40yrs old and so depressed. The anxiety I have because of the fear of a flare-up around company keeps me locked up in my house. I can't believe how something so stupid (diarrhea) has turned the light off in my life. I hate this life god has given me.
- —Guest Mr Lonely
Used to Try to avoid dinner dates
- When i was on the get-to-know phase stage with my bf, i try to avoid the topic of eating out or going out with him. He would drop hints of nice restaurants or so but i would casually say the food they serve are not my type. One day on a weekend work i was surprised that he was waiting for outside the office. I felt comfortable with him, chatting and all and he invited me to go to a nearby mall to get dinner. Everything was fine until i felt this bad attack on my tummy. Good thing my phone rang and i've got on-call work and have to rush back to the office (blessing in disguise). By then i thought work will be a good excuse to exit from date.. But telling him the truth was better. He was supportive about it and understands if i have to go to toilet during a date meal.
- —Guest Ria
- been dating on and off. i think every date is self improvement, especially having ibs. life is good. we gotta find some way of living like normal people.

An Ass-tronomy Adventure
- I was invited by my boyfriend to go with him on a hilltop astronomy viewing as part of his college astronomy class. The site was 15 miles up into the hills with no bathrooms. We carpooled with his classmate, who drove us the 45 minutes up the windy road. Half way up, I began feeling that deep "drop" feeling in my midsection, followed by intense cramps. I knew I wouldn't be able to suffer through this one, as we would be there for at least a few hours. I held it in and we got to the top of the hill, where I had started sweating because of the pain of trying to hold in the most ferocious diarrhea ever. But when the teacher began his lecture, I knew I was doomed. I interrupted the class, panicking, to ask for a bathroom, and was directed to the dark woods. I ran, and barely made it to a big tree, using my underwear as makeshift TP. Later I found out the tree was covered in poison oak. I sat out the rest of the class, exhausted. I asked my boyfriend never to speak of it again.

A Nightmare in Aspen
- I went to pick up a woman for a first date. I was dressed to the nines, her firey red hair looked amazing. She needed a few more minutes to get ready, so I waited patiently. All of the sudden.......montezumas revenge.......I used her powder room, only to discover the toilet was broken! How embarrassing. Fortunately, things went well. Until she left me for my friend Lloyd.......Ugh.
- —Guest HarryDunne
- I have had ibs for 12 yrs and with lots of embarrassments from job interviews to dating, till i had to hold it down with dating. i miss having a girlfriend.vvi need some help to get back my confidence.
- —klien256
Meeting Hell
- I was in a meeting at work, and I was sitting next to my crush. Then I let out one of those silent vapor farts that cannot be suppressed because there is no warning. Well, the guy backed up quickly into the wall and stayed there the rest of the meeting. I felt humiliated and I'm sure my face was flaming. That stopped any sort of flirting between us! But I can laugh about it now with my friends! :)
- —Guest Cecilia
Coastal Trip
- I was on at the coast with my girlfriend. I had eaten some clam chowder and fish & chips before we were to head to the beach about four miles down the road. Before I left I felt a slight gurgling, but since I had been constipated the entire trip I didn't think much of it and did not want my stomach to interfere. We were about a mile from the beach when I started getting really bad cramping and the urgency to go right away. I was in no-man's land because I was about four miles from our hotel and four miles from the next city where there was a Wal-Mart with a bathroom I could use. So I had to grit my teeth and and just keep going to straight. We finally get into the Wal-Mart parking, I turn the car off and hop out, only to see it start to roll with my girlfriend in it, because I didn't put it in park. Luckily I hopped back in and got it in park and then did a run-waddle into the Wal-Mart. Luckily I found the bathroom and we laugh about this story quite a bit now.
- —DigestionBlog
Trip with my guy...
- My boyfriend of 7 months and I were going on our first trip as a couple to my brothers house 3 hours away. I had told him about my having ibs, but had never had problems around him miraculously and hadn't gone into details of my condition. Always fearful of an ibs flare up, I ate very healthy for the day of and days before the trip. Then 45 minutes into the drive, my ibs d flared up. I told him I was having problems and needed a bathroom much to my embarrassment. We ended up stopping 4 times due to my diarrhea, but he was very sweet and understanding about it. After that, I have been very comfortable talking with him about my ibs and he has been really supportive and understanding. That embarrassing trip wasn't as bad as my fears.

- I just started seeing this guy that i worked with after a serious breakup. We planned the perfect date: dinner and a movie afterwards. We had just finished eating at a pub with alot of greasy food and were on our way to the movies. Riding along in his car with the windows rolled down i started to feel anxious. I didn't know why but i felt something in my stomach. All of the sudden i felt it hit and i was racing to the bathroom at the nearest K-Mart. I literally ran in the doors and asked the first person i saw where the restroom (at the back of the store) was because it was urgent. I made it to the restroom a little late but luckily i was wearing a pad for my period. I was in there for what seemed like hours. Meanwhile my date was shopping K-Mart. I felt so bad but i popped some imodium and was able to make it home. Now we are happily married and he never makes me feel embarrased when i have symptoms flare up.

Never Trust a Fart
- I was in a new relationship, the first after my divorce and I suffer from terrible gas and bloating from IBS. I was trying to be "slick" and let out some wind (as I knew it would not smell) and I would relieve some of my pressure BUT the "wind" was accompanied by a "mudslide". I had to excuse myself, freshen up and remove my soiled underoos. I threw them in the trash and went commando for the rest of the night. Thankfully, he was none the wiser...we are getting married in October 2010 - and I have finally told him the truth! With IBS, if you can't laugh at yourself, you'll cry!
Under pressure
- I remember my first date with my now wife. I was so nervous and felt she was way out of my league. She decided to make me dinner and lo and behold my ulcerative colitis flaired. OMG was I in pain and to make matters worse she had a very small place….the bathroom had paper thin walls and a very bad exhaust system if you know what I mean. I had to suffer until the date was over….it went well but it may be the most uncomfortable night of my life. I got home and thought I was dying…..but I just couldn't have used her bathroom….I could have blown the whole thing…after all in my mind she was way out of my league. Fifteen years later we are fine and she has been my savior when my UC has been bad.

Bad Barbecue
- I had just started dating this new guy. He took me to a backyard barbecue at his friend's house. I had the runs so badly that I spent what seemed like hours in the bathroom. Unfortunately, there was only one bathroom and the guys were drinking so much beer that they kept knocking on the door. A little while later, there was no more knocking. I found out my new guy told his friends to pee behind some trees, since I was sick. He eventually just took me home. In spite of that bad experience, he turned out to be a great boyfriend who is really supportive of my IBS.

Loud Gas
- As I was meeting my boyfriend's family for the first time, I was so nervous that I dropped my pocketbook. As I bent down to pick it up, out came the loudest fart! I was so embarrassed, but my boyfriend's mother immediately told me a story about farting on a job interview and I felt so much better!

A Bismarck couple is busted on meth delivery charges after leaving a significant amount of methamphetamine at the Elbow Room bar Sunday afternoon.
32-year-old Mark Myers and 18 year old Addie White Eagle are both charged with conspiracy to deliver methamphetamine.
A bar employee called police after a person found a pouch with baggies of white substance and syringes in the men's bathroom.
Officers found the couple matching the suspects description coming out of an apartment a few blocks away.
Authorities say they also found meth in the White Eagle's backpack.
Police say 7 baggies of meth totaling 37 grams was found at the Elbow Room. The meth in the White Eagle's backpack totaled 15 grams.

Sometimes I stumble upon an amazing dinner…. and today's recipe is one of those.
My local farmers' market has stand that sells vegetables by the bag. You can fill a pretty large bag with all of your favorite veggies, for just $10. Pretty cool, right?
I ended up having a little room left and added two poblano peppers as a last minute addition. I'm a big fan of Chile Relleno (a la Trader Joe's), so I thought I would try to make my own version… but healthier with these peppers.
I also leveraged a few other recipes that I had made recently to create this dish. Click the images below for the full recipes…
I can't believe how delicious these peppers came out! Poblanos have a much milder flavor than a bell pepper, and I really prefer them to traditional stuffed peppers. I seriously wish I would have bought about 5 of those peppers! Next time, I will!
Stuffed Poblano Peppers
Serves 1
1/3 cup shredded chicken (I used Salsa Chicken)
1 poblano pepper
1 roma tomato, diced and seeded
1 wedge Laughing Cow Cheese – Chipotle and Queso Fresco flavor
2 Tbsp. diced onion
1 tsp. minced garlic
2 cups fresh spinach
cooking spray
salt and pepper
1 1/2 Tbsp. reduced fat 4-Cheese Mexican cheese, shredded
Salsa (I used Restaurant Style Salsa)
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
2. Saute onions and garlic in a large skillet sprayed with cooking spray for 1-2 minutes over medium heat. Add spinach and sauté until wilted, about 1-2 more minutes.
3. Add chicken and tomatoes to the pan, and stir to combine.
4. Add one wedge of Laughing Cow Cheese. Stir to combine.
5. Remove the top of the pepper where the stem is. Cut the pepper vertically to allow for it to be filled. Remove the seeds as best you can, and fill it with the chicken mixture.
6. Place in a cooking sheet, sprayed with non-stick spray. Top with shredded cheese. Bake for 20-25 minutes until cheese is melted and pepper is cooked.
7. Remove to a plate to serve. Top with fresh salsa.

JOHOR BARU: An alleged notorious gang leader was shot at eight times outside an entertainment outlet in Permas Jaya here, yet he survived.
M. Sasitharen, 33, was shot by two men outside the Century Bell Entertainment Centre at around 6.30am yesterday.
Sasitharen was seated inside a car parked outside the outlet when the two men approached him.
Although eight shots were fired at him from the front of the car, the victim only injured his hand and abdomen and is currently being treated at a local hospital.
Sasitharen has at least five criminal records, including for robbery and assault, and is linked to the 04 gang here.
Johor Baru South OCPD Asst Comm Sulaiman Salleh said police were looking for the two male suspects.
"We urge those who may have witnessed the shooting to contact the Johor police hotline at 07-2212999 or visit the nearest police station to provide details," he added.
ACP Sulaiman added that police were investigating the case under Section 307 of the Penal Code for attempted murder.
He said police were investigating the motive behind the incident and would investigate the shooting from all angles.
"It is too early for us to comment further on the case."

Circus, a six-hour documentary (from the same talented folks who brought us Carrier), premieres tonight at 9 on PBS and follows the performers of the Big Apple Circus, including twin acrobatic duo Jake and Marty LaSalle, one of whom recently gave an interview to AfterElton.
I had a chance to see portions of the accomplished doc at a preview the other night, and am looking forward to following their story, as well as those of the rest of the act.

On tap in The Porterhouse
Pours with a lemony yellow body, patchy white head with good retention, some lacing down the glass
Smell, fresh hops, lavender, some noticable floral notes. Little bit of biscuity malt lingering in the background
Taste, crisp floral hops, smooth mouthfeel, some malt in the background. Some sweetness, little bit of dry hop character on the finish
A refreshing and flavourful lager

By bottle spelt the 'Hell' without the e-s on the end. Gloing blonde appearance, looks beautiful. Honeyed, floral aroma, some grassyness and bread dough. Nicely herbal, floral, honeyed flavour, nice full mouthfeel and satisfying bitterness. really love the subtlety of the Andechser beers, so soft aswell, lovely.

Pours gold with a fading head.
Nose shows soft hay, bready malt, wheat, honey, spicy hops and faint vegetal notes. Restrained.
Similarly light flavours, but mainly focussing on hay and honey. Some very faint spicy hops. Low bitterness.
Body could use more carbonation.

Poured on tap at Churchkey into a snifter.
Super creamy white head, two fingers tall and not going anywhere. Body is clear with a very pale straw lemon body. Light and bright and big impressive.
Nose is of classic pilsner malt and muted grass hop. Mellow and dense, bready almost thick.
Palate is quite interesting for a Helles. Lots of thick malt, bread dough, and crackers strangely to round out the thicknesses. Baked white bread on the finish and mild hop herbality. Potato chip and thick crunch in the palate with a wheat like chewy quality to mouthfeel is strangely a lot lighter than anticipated and borderline wet.
Overall though the palate makes up for it for a very unique tasting helles.

Poured into a Schaumburger pilsner glass. Pours a light golden amber with a half finger white head with good retention due to active carbonation, no lacing. Aroma of bready with hints of biscuit malt, grassy hops and lemon. Flavor is slightly sweet bready malt, grassy, slightly peppery hops, light citrus and a touch of wheat. A nice, lingering light lemon, hop and malt aftertaste to the finish. Light to medium bodied with good carbonation. A light, pleasant helles lager that hits all the right notes. Flavor is not intense, but appropriate for the style. A very nice beer for drinking with a meal for non intrusive malt and hops. Addendum: the subtle, but well balanced flavors in this really grew on me as I drank the glass.

Brown 0.5 litre bottle obtained in Berlin (Ambrosetti beer store) and flown home with another 9 different beers. Six months life left according to the label.
Poured into a 0.5 litre 'Schultheiss' glass, my third German beer during a German tasting evening.
Bright and light (a typical Helles attribute), a pale golden, straw yellow colour. The white head soon fell away to leave a thin collar and scummy wisp.
Aromaless, couldn't even find a hop or hint of yeast, no floral wiff, no wheaty undertones or overtones, not even some malt esters, just 'nowt'. My normal lager/pilsner score of 3 then!
Fresh and crisp, but no body or depth of flavours, easy to drink but nothing to grasp and say 'Wow' about. There is a little feel of yeast, hops and malts within the taste, sadly not enough to make this beer stand out from the crowd.
A bog standard Helles, I was expecting more from such a well thought of brewery.

Pours a very pale straw color, very crystal looking, not much head and what there is of fades very quickly, no lacing on the glass.
Smell starts with a sweet malt kick and then follows up with a bit of an herbal grassy note.
Taste is quite straight forward and very much in the vein of a lager, simple sweet malt front with a mild hop balance, picking up a bit of a lemony zest flavor as well, quite crisp with a semi-dry finish.
Glad to have Andechs finally in the states but it's their doppelbock I've been waiting for!

Drank from my Erdinger weizen glass.
A - Pours a classic lager colour with a frothy white head that retains reasonably well but no lacing.
S - Plenty of grainy malts present and some floral aromas, a little yeast as well.
T - Plenty of grain up front followed by some light citrus and hop, a little bread as well, nice residual sugars that allow a crisp finish.
M - Light to medium body and carbonation.
O - A very good sessionable beer.

A - Light clear golden color with about an average sized, light, bubbly, foamy, white head. A little below average retention with no lacing left, but a lot of bubbles coming up.
S - A lot of grainy and bready malt. Fair amount of mineral aroma along with some grassy and floral hops. Very nice grainy/bready lager that is fairly well hopped.
T - Starts out with a grainy/bready malt, typical of the style. Mid sip a good amount of mineral taste along with some light citrus and honey flavors. I found it to provide a nice little tang and contrast to the sweet bready malt. A touch of grassy hops are also present. It finishes with more of that bready malt flavor, but the flavors from mid sip (especially the citrus) linger.
M - Light starting to go toward medium body with a healthy amount of carbonation. A light spritzy refreshing feel.
D - Very drinkable beer. Well balanced flavors with plenty of grain/bread malt flavors and a fair amount of hops and other flavors to give it some balance and add interest. Very refreshing drink.
Notes: Best before 18/10/10. A nice summer time beer that has a fair amount of hops for the style. Also had a somewhat strong mineral taste, which I thought was fine, but it depends on taste. I would gladly drink a couple of these on a nice warm, sunny day. Didn't quite blow me away or strike me as world class, but rather a solid example of the style.

The head is made of big almost transparent bubbles. Lots of bubbles in the glittering golden transparent body. The smell is grainy and reveals lots of lemon.
The taste is very grainy, with hints of citrus, and light hints of dry caramel. Hoppiness is bitter and astringent. The body is pretty light, the mouthfeel is thick and hoppy on the end. Kind of disappointing for Andechs: not much going on, and not a very drinkable beer.

I tasted this 500ml bottle on 19.12.07 (Best by 24.07.08). I brought this back from a recent trip to Munich.
Poured a clear amber brew with good carbonation and modest head.
Smelled very subtle; floral hops and possible a hint of apple.
The taste was also somewhat subdued; I think I still detected a hint of apple here also.
There is nothing in this beer to be offensive to anyone; its flavours are subdued and delicate. A very nice beer to drink.

Growler at home. Don't ask me how (I have no clue), but kegs of this (and other Andechser beers) showed up in Portland for PIB. I missed PIB, but seeing that this went on tap at the Belmont Station, I couldn't say no.
A clear golden/straw yellow with a dense, white head that falls off to a ring, leaving some lacing, this looks decent for a Helles. The nose, OTOH, is excellent. Soft, doughy, limpid and airy, this is delicately hoppy (lemon) with some cotton candy malt character. Ridiculously clean.
The palate opens with a perfect level of hops - mildly pungent and oily with lemon and lingering mint. Malt character is light but flavorful with dough, cotton candy, a touch of straw and hay. Light in body but with a crisp and creamy carbonation, this is great on the palate. Particularly pleasant is the body that the hop oils and the husky/grainy malt character adds. Excellent stuff, highly recommended.

A - Golden lager body, 3 finger head that dissapate quickly to leave a crown. Rubbish lacing. lively beading
S - faint notes of grain, fresh grass, no real hop profile here.
T - grassy, some fresh dry hoppiness in the finish. Nothing exciting though at all. Not enough munich malt.
M - Medium carbonation, a little sticky and flat.
D - The third Of the Andechs beers i have had, and another one to be disappointed in. Pretty lifeless. Will need to try at the source.
Starting to think Andechs isnt the Holy Grail.

BB 28-03-06. Great presentation with wonderfull lasting head and a light golden crystal clear beer. Nose is very clean and veryy nicely hopped with prob best Halletauhops. Good and not overdone maltyness with some alcohol and minimal yeast influence. Good taste also having good malts, litle alcohol and nice hoppiness.Yes one of the better Helles I know. Good carbonisation and mouthfeel. Well drinkable and one you like to have more of after the last.

A - Pours a bright, pale gold, with a frothy white head. This falls to a thin cap. Some small bubbles and a few streamers slowly rise.
S - Floral hops, green vegetables, sourdough bread, honey, light nuttiness.
T - The vegetable flavour and sweet malts are upfront. These fade out and the honey and floral hops move forward towards the finish along with the bread. It ends with a sharp bite of carbonation and a relatively short, sweet aftertaste.
M - Cleansing carbonation throughout. Light-medium crisp body.
D - Whilst not the best offering from this brewery, it's still enjoyable. Worth a try.

Pretty solid helles, but it's easily overshadowed by the other offerings from Andechs.
This review is based on a mug I got at the Am Dom hall in Munich. The monastery alternates this with their spezial, so this may or may not be available depending on the time of year.
Comes straight from a gigantic wooden keg. It has a nice golden yellow color. Although not the darkest or foamiest helles around...it's on par for the style.
Smell is husky grain and hops. Actually more hops that you might expect. It's no pils, but it's more potent than most.
Flavor starts off with a sweet malt hit, turns to a husky grain, and finishes with a sharp hops hit that fades quickly.
It's pretty thin, as you might expect from the style. This is a warm weather quencher even by Munich standards.
Drinkability is high on this one. Stylistically, obviously, but also because of the nice really dry finish. After taking a sip you'll get that hop hit and you'll want more.
It is what it is. It's an excellent helles, but if your trip to Munich is a short one, I'd recommend one of the other Andechs beer instead. It's on par with the better Munich helles brews you'll find in town. There are better and there are worse. The main thing about it that's really unique is the dry, hoppy finish. In an area where you actually have to hunt for a pils, this can fill your hop craving nicely, though.
EDIT: On my visit from 6/11 I found this one wasn't really doing it for me. The hop notes weren't as pronounced and the nose was a hair sulfuric. It was my first beer in Munich, so maybe I was a little off and not the beer? At the same time, it's bigger brother, the Spezial hell turned out to be quite the treat. It's worth trying them both since I know either can be amazing depending on your mood.

The JAMES BOND Happy Funtime Catchup Hour!
We're been a bit behind on our Bond news and there have definitely been some interesting developments regarding the next film.
Click below to catch up!
2013 Oscar Nominations Announced; Ben Affleck Snubbed for Best Director
That's really all I have to say about the nominations, Ben Affleck got snubbed. Argo was one of the best movies of the year and he didn't get nominated for directing (although it's up for Best Picture). Don't take this year's nominations seriously; Flight got a nomination for writing.
The 85th Academy Awards will take place on February 24th, check out the nominations below:
The CoF Weekend Preview: Skyfall? More Like Skyrise, amiright?
Welcome to The CoF Weekend Preview, here is a look at what's opening this weekend. Check out our Fall & Holiday Movie Guide for the rest of the year's releases.
It's just SKYFALL this weekend, so it's going to make a lot of money, I'll predict a $75-$80 million weekend. It's already made $321 million overseas, so Bond is back it seems. It's been four years since we were left with the bitter taste of Quantum of Solace, enter director Sam Mendes and awesome marketing (not to mention Adele's great theme song) and we have return to grace for Bond's 23rd adventure.
The James Bond franchise is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year— (Dr. No kicked things off in May 1963), so enjoy the weekend with some gadgets and womanizing flair that only Bond can deliver.
SKYFALL IMAX Poster and New Trailer
Daniel Craig is back as James Bond 007 in Skyfall, the 23rd adventure in the longest-running film franchise of all time. To say the people around here in the City of Films are excited for this would be an understatement; early reviews are even calling it the best Bond movie ever!
IMAX has an exclusive poster for Skyfall as the film will open one day earlier on IMAX screens than regular theaters. Movie goers will even be given this poster, lucky people. A new trailer has also been released for Skyfall with little new footage but who cares? It's awesome to look at, and you can do so below.
The film also stars Judi Dench, Javier Bardem, Ben Whishaw, Naomie Harris, Berenice Marlohe, Helen McCrory, and Ralph Fiennes.
Skyfall opens internationally on October 26th, in North American IMAX theaters on November 8th, and in regular theaters on November 9th.
Adele's Skyfall Theme Debuts This Friday [UPDATE: Or Listen To It Now]
Since Skyfall was announced, speculation began as to whom could pull of an iconic Bond intro for what is sure to be an iconic Bond film. While somebody like Alex Clare or Lana Del Rey would have fit the mold, Adele is the perfect choice to get this franchise back on track.
Well the wait to hear the new tune is almost over! It was announced that Adele will debut the theme titled 'Skyfall' on her website Friday, October 5th at 7:07pm EST. What is so special about this date you may ask? October 5th is the 50th anniversary of the release of Dr. No.
Happy Birthday 007!
UPDATE: Here it is, and it's awesome! Best theme in years? It's up for debate. Adele co-wrote the song with her Rolling in the Deep producer/collaborator Paul Epworth.
International Trailer for SKYFALL Shows Off The Action
Running around Istanbul can't be easy, but Daniel Craig makes it look that way in this new trailer for Skyfall. The Sam Mendes directed film opens November 9th and stars Judi Dench, Naomie Harris, Ben Whishaw, Helen McCroy, Albert Finney, Ralph Fiennes and a bad blonde Javier Bardem.
Daniel Craig is back as James Bond 007 in Skyfall, the 23rd adventure in the longest-running film franchise of all time. In Skyfall, Bond's loyalty to M (Judi Dench) is tested as her past comes back to haunt her. As MI6 comes under attack, 007 must track down and destroy the threat, no matter how personal the cost.

SKYFALL News: Runtime, Daniel Craig for Two More Films, and a Behind-the-Scenes Video
Well it seems Bond is back in a big way; not only is the longest running franchise celebrating 50 years but the latest installment, Skyfall, is set to go with a runtime of 145 minutes. That would be a bit longer than Casino Royal and a hefty 40 minutes longer than Quantum of Solace.
There is also news that Daniel Craig will return for the next two James Bond films which leaves him slightly behind Sean Connery (6) and Roger Moore (7). Sony Pictures will return to co-finance Bond 24 and 25, so let's hope there isn't another off again on again mess.
Skyfall also stars Javier Bardem, Judi Dench, Ben Whishaw, Ralph Fiennes, Naomie Harris, Berenice Marlohe and Ola Rapace. The movie opens October 26th in the UK and November 9th in North America.
Here is a nice behind-the-scenes look at the filming of the opening of Skyfall with commentary from Mendes, Craig and more.

I'm amazed that, for all the talk about Manning's allegedly poor cold weather record, nobody has actually broken it down and analyzed it game by game to look for other explanations.
First and foremost, the sample size is extremely small. So small, in fact, that it shouldn't be that hard to simply list the games and compare them against the rest of Manning's career. I would like to see, for example, a proper list of those cold weather games, where the list includes several key factors:
- W-L record of each opponent at the time of the game.
- W-L record of each opponent for that respective full season.
- Same for Manning's team (Indy or Denver).
- Manning's W-L record for ROAD games vs cold weather games. Virtually all of the cold weather games were ROAD games ... which will tend to produce a lower than career W-L record in ANY weather.
- A few key QB statistics ... QBR, rating, passing yards, etc, each compared to Manning's career averages.
I'm guessing that the data shown this way will better show that, in fact, Manning's cold weather record is far more attributable to factors other than Manning, especially the road v home adjustment. Of course his record against good teams (especially playoff games) will be worse than his overall career record, because those teams are better than average. Ditto for his cold weather vs road record..
Again, it is a very small sample size ... so we should all be very hesitant to draw firm conclusions without bothering to look for other factors properly.

Hastert on Foley Warnings: 'I Don't Remember…'

House Speaker Dennis Hastert says he doesn't remember Rep. Tom Reynolds warning him about Mark Foley last spring. (via FireDogLake)

Hastert doesn't remember being warned and I bet his constituency doesn't remember why they voted for him.
Tell me, can you get away with sexual affairs during working hours in your place of employment? Isn't anybody accountable for anything?
Instead of warning pages to ignore the pedophile they should have called him out immediately. Imagine a public school teacher sending IMs to students. Then imagine the superintendent of the school system saying: "well they were naughty messages but he never touched them". Un-friggin-believable!

Of course he doesn't remember - he had so many things to worry about like how his property assets jumped to more than $6.0 million. The main thing on this mind at the time though was the "Annual Running of the Hastert" held every spring in the halls of Congress. The interns will miss it! And so will Hastert! Back to Pamplona!

They think it's all a game of Musical Chairs—who is left standing when the music stops? Right now, it's between Hastert and Reynolds, but I think they don't realize—the Musical Chairs game is missing a lot more chairs than they realize.
The funny thing, is the VOTERS may make the decision for them.
That Bill O'Reilly clip was hilarious. When was Bill EVER afraid to over-ride a guest and say they're full of shit? Especially when they aren't? But Nazi-Ann Coulter? He's mild and polite and doesn't say "but Ann, he was asking them to get naked. He was discussing masturbation techniques. He wanted kisses." He kinda tried—but I think it was a Bill O'Reilly look-alike—much too nice.
And Coulter? Defending Foley for being GAY? How outer-space is that? I guess they still think that Dems and most Americans don't know the difference between being Gay, and being a CHILD MOLESTER! Most Gays aren't molesters any more than most Straights. A child molester is a criminal. Period. And a heluva lot more Straights are molesters than Gays (because there are so many more).
Nazi-Ann is just a cunt. And a nasty one at that. Since Matt Drudge is singing the same song it's no wonder he was screwing her.

"... it is so sick that we need to exercise capital punishment to all those found guilty."
Hold on, now. We need someone left to vote!
It's really history repeating itself. Eventually, it seems to me, PROFESSIONAL politicans become corrupted in one way or another. First, a little white lie, then a grey one, then comes one whopper after another. It's clear now that NONE OF THEM CAN TELL A LIE FROM THE TRUTH.
How about we limit ALL political positions from school boards to the Presidency to ONE TERM of a MAXIMUM 3 years… and all will be paid a STIPEND which would ensure they don't lose money for taking on the job, but that they don't MAKE money over above what they were earning before being elected. Perhaps those who run under those conditions might be focussed more on serving the PEOPLE instead of themselves.

The corrupting of our youths.
It is not enough that they have plundered TRILLIONS from our national treasury, robbing the next several generations of advances in health care, and educational services that will make our nation strong and competitive for the 21st century. No, it is not enough for them to dumb down our kids and lure them into fighting this immoral war to increase their stature and financial holdings. And it's not even enough that the untold amount of blood of our young is spilt in their name, every single day, as thousands more are severely maimed, and psychologically damaged for the rest of their lives. And it is not enough that they have taken away our civil liberties, one by one, and shaming our nation by legalizing torture, setting our moral compass back 50 years or more. And now… they want the right to molest and rape our kids too? Do they want every man, woman and child to line up and gleefully bend over? It is not enough that they have desecrated our Constitution and Declaration of Independence, now they want to legalize the perversion of our morality and the corruption of our kids too? Is this what is going on? Is it worse then we all think? I hope our houses of congress don't turn out to be nothing more than a front for a grand bordello where unscrupulous parents bring their kids as sexual offerings to those in power. I hope this is not true, and if it is, it is so sick that we need to exercise capital punishment to all those found guilty. We need to be certain and know for sure how long this blatant selling of flesh has been going on? How many more Mark Foley's are out there? How many more pages, males and females, had to whore themselves since childhood, as they move up the ladder? How many of these make it to the top and use their position of power to seduce and coerce other young minds and bodies, taking pleasure in corrupting them, turning them into perverted whores and slavish pimps for generations and generations to come. This is repugnant. It is said that abused kids grow up to be abusers themselves…If this is so, we need to purge our houses, all of them, Dems and Repubs.

I wonder if Hastert would be still be wishy-washy about this if Foley had made "advances" towards his children or grandchildren. I think he'd be singing a different tune.

Sinking deep into the moral quagmire,,,
BW photograph of a truly shameless moment. There's a deep sadness here—layers upon layers upon layers of meaning in this iconic Buffalo News photo that perfectly sums up and symbolizes the whole damn Foleygate scandal, which has rapidly moved beyond the "merely" sleazy, salacious and corrupt. Now it's an utterly surreal, blame-shifting mass abdication of all personal responsibility.
Above all, there's the deep, visible moral rot that anyone can see. Look at the children in the photo. Look at the man (Rep. Reynolds) at the microphone. See the face of a party that uses children to score "family values" points but doesn't give a damn. At all.

If the Speaker of the House is not able to remember this kind of thing then it seems obvious to me that he is also not competent to perform his job. But of course, he probably did remember it, and is just CYA-ing.

India's Guidelines for Ecotourism Can be turned around!
India's Guidelines for Ecotourism Can be turned around!
August 2011: The extremely quixotic text of the official draft Tourism Policy posted on the Ministry of Environment and Forests' (MoEF) website has not thrown too much clarity on the ecotourism canvas. The Drafting Committee Chairman, Sujit Banerjee, former Secretary Tourism, Government of India, wrote to Jairam Ramesh to state that many critical recommendations of the committee had been ignored, while new points that had not even been discussed by the committee had been inserted. Most of India's leading travel operators, environmentalists and wildlifers seemed to agree.In the event, the Chairman corrected the MoEF's official draft and sent it to the National Tiger Conservation Authority (NTCA) after consulting as many of the other members as he could. Hopefully, the new Minister for Environment and Forests, Jayanthi Natarajan, will ensure that practicality and professionalism rule the day.
Sanctuary readers a flavour of the responses generated by the original flawed draft and the rationale for key portions of the reworked draft. In the Committee Chairman's view and that of Sanctuary this would give both wildlife and the communities living around our Protected Area (PA) Network a reasonable chance to end years of conflict, while boosting the chances of a tiger and tiger habitat recovery.
Here is the stated objective of the proposed tourism policy.
Sanctuary intends to engage the MoEF and the NTCA in a constructive manner in the days ahead so that the lost impetus and trust between players is regained.
OFFICIAL MoEF TEXT:
"Any core area in a Tiger Reserve from which relocation has been carried out, will not be used for tourism activities."
Unimplementable! Effectively this would mean preventing people from visiting Kanha, Bandhavgarh, Corbett, Nagarahole, Melghat, Tadoba, Periyar, Keoladeo Ghana (Bharatpur), Gir and virtually every other sanctuary and national park. It would also prevent communities that have moved into the periphery to benefit from tourism revenues on their own lands.
OFFICIAL MoEF TEXT:
Unimplementable! Keoladeo ghana national park, for instance, would be forced to restrict something like one lakh tourists to a tiny fragment of forest, under five square kilometres, thus effectively damaging the park beyond repair. Also, the time frame that the committee had agreed upon for instituting the guidelines was 2020. By deleting this date, the entire effort has been rendered meaningless since it is beyond the capability of either government or private agencies to implement the policy without a phased date plan.
OFFICIAL MoEF TEXT:
"As part of the State-level Ecotourism Strategy, the state government should levy a "local conservation cess" as a percentage of turn-over, on all privately-run tourist facilities within five kilometres of the boundary of a PA."
Unimplementable! The text is vague and unimplementable. In Mumbai, for instance, the 30 per cent cess as recommended by the Tiger Task Force Chaired by Sunita Narain would need to be paid by scores of hotels large and small that have nothing to do with wildlife at all.
The Draft Guidelines fail to recognise the synergy between conservation and tourism - an extraordinary fact given the subject they are dealing with and the definition presented at the outset. I would argue that there is another perspective hidden within this document and that is one that would like to see tourism removed from PAs.
Ecotourism discussions and practise have the potential to forge interactions and relationships between groups of people who at present are at loggerheads with each other. Indeed to some extent some of the tourist lodges around the tiger reserves already play this useful role. As a buffer and mediator between the local communities who are often antagonistic towards the PA and the Forest Department, they can be invaluable. Anyone who has lived or worked in a rural area cannot help but be aware of the extreme (and often understandable) dislike (to put it mildly) the local communities have towards the Forest Department. Unfortunately, this is often taken out against wildlife and their habitats, due to the lack of avenues to address grievances with the government itself. Many members of the tourism industry work hard to reduce this and to bridge this gap, on several direct and indirect fronts. Instead of being the means for drawing people together, these guidelines reflect an antagonism against another section of society and thus could serve to extend the list of those hostile towards the Forest Department!

Are we "freemen," serfs or slaves? In Medieval times the services of a serf were preferred over that of a slave. For you see, a slave's cost included provisions for housing, food and physical wellness. A serf provided for his own needs while paying taxes for access to the vassal lord's land. If offered land ownership by the lord, he must consider if it was sufficient to meet his needs or if it was better to remain "non-free," as a serf.
In recent years many have struggled trying to obtain the necessary provisions for themselves and their families. Being removed from the land leaves many dependent upon employment income or else community and government services.
Traditional 17th- and 18th-century economists realized capital only accumulates if given a surplus labor pool. Labor shortages lead to increased wage costs being passed on in the price of goods, resulting in destructive inflationary pressures. In the past, restrictive fiscal and monetary policies were employed to reduce economic growth whenever such low unemployment rates became evident.
Current economic conditions allow for record profits by some businesses enjoying low wage rates, possibly tax abatements and tax caps. Meanwhile, many families suffer from low incomes, reduced community services and possible loss of self worth.
Our world has limited life-sustaining capacities. What shall we do with those providing the necessary precondition for capital's accumulation or those having insufficient incomes? Shall resources be available for all to be "freemen" or shall more become as Medieval serfs or slaves ... and "non-free?"

President Bush's plan for escalating the war in Iraq has begun and, barring an intervention from Congress, over 20,000 more U.S. troops will soon be in the crossfire of a brutal civil war.
The top generals on the ground are trying to keep expectations low. Yesterday, Gen. George Casey, the outgoing top U.S. military commander in Iraq, warned that it is "going to take time" and no one should evaluate the impact of the plan until "summer or Fall." Watch it:
ANNOUNCER: Meanwhile, the U.S. troop surge ordered by President Bush is underway and for the if the first time, we're hearing about a timeline.
CASEY: I think you will see a gradual evolution over the next two to three months and things get better through the summer and fall. It's going to take time.

[Q:] While a high unemployment rate indicates an economy in distress, is a 0% rate really ideal for a country? I realize that a tiny percentage of unemployed is inevitable but let's say a country could attain a 0% rate. Would it? If not, what are some reasons why a country might want to maintain a small percentage as opposed to a 0%?
[A:] Thanks for the great question!
While on the surface it appears that a 0% unemployment rate would be terrific for the citizens of a country, having a small amount of unemployment is actually desirable. To understand why, we need to look at the three types (or causes) of unemployment:
- Cyclical Unemployment is defined as occuring "when the unemployment rate moves in the opposite direction as the GDP growth rate. So when GDP growth is small (or negative) unemployment is high." When the economy goes into recession and workers are laid off, we have cyclical unemployment.
- Frictional Unemployment: The Economics Glossary defines frictional unemployment as "unemployment that comes from people moving between jobs, careers, and locations." If a person quits his job as an economics researcher to try and find a job in the music industry, we would consider this to be frictional unemployment.
- Structural Unemployment: The glossary defines structural unemployment as "unemployment that comes from there being an absence of demand for the workers that are available". Structural unemployment is often due to technological change. If the introduction of DVD players cause the sales of VCRs to plummet, many of the people who manufacture VCRs will suddenly be out of work.
Most people would argue that since cyclical unemployment is the by-product of a weak economy, it is necessarily a bad thing, though some have argued that recessions are good for the economy. The latter is not a position I hold, so I'm willing to accept that generally speaking, a zero level of cyclical unemployment is likely to be beneficial.
What about frictional unemployment? Let's go back to our friend who quit his job as an economic research to pursue his dreams in the music industry. He quit a job he disliked to attempt a career at the music industry, even though it caused him to be unemployed for a short while. Or consider the case of a person who is tired of living in Flint and decides to make it big in Hollywood and who arrives in Tinseltown without a job. A great deal of frictional unemployment comes from people following their hearts and their dreams. This is certainly a positive type of unemployment, though we would hope for these individuals' sakes that they do not stay unemployed for too long.
Finally, structual unemployment. When the car became commonplace, it cost a lot of buggy manufacturers their jobs. At the same time, most would argue that the automobile, on net, was a positive development. The only we could ever eliminate all structural unemployment is by eliminating all technological advancement.
By breaking down the three types of unemployment into cyclical unemployment, frictional unemployment, and structural unemployment, we see that an unemployment rate of 0% is not a positive thing. A positive rate of unemployment is the price we pay for technological development and for people chasing their dreams.
Thank you for your question.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill -- The free ride for students, or at least part of it, could be over for public schools in Illinois.
The Springfield State Journal Register reports there's a proposal from the Illinois State Board of Education proposal which is being mulled over that would eliminate the state requirement that public school districts transport students.
The State Journal Register reports that under the proposal, school districts could charge a fee for transporting students.
That fee would be the difference between what school districts receive from the state and what it actually costs to bus students to school.
The state has reduced appropriations to schools over the last few years, and Governor Quinn has proposed that local school districts should start paying into the pension fund for their teachers.
Currently, Chicago schools pay into the pension fund for their teachers, but downstate school districts rely on the state of Illinois to pay pension costs, even though teachers are not state employees.
According to the Journal-Register, an Illinois Board of Education spokesman said a bill containing the proposal to allow charging a fee for school bus rides could be introduced this week.

LORDSTOWN, Ohio - The Lordstown police department is asking a federal judge to dismiss a lawsuit filed by a fired fire and police dispatcher who was sleeping on the job.
Lordstown officials fired dispatcher Jim Luonuansuu after he was caught sleeping on the job three different times in 2010. However, after Luonuansuu proved that the incidents were due to a medical condition known as sleep apnea, village officials agreed to bring him back if he signed a "last chance agreement".
In 2011, Luonuansuu was fired again after the village officials say he violated that agreement by filing a claim seeking reimbursement for the cost of a medical fitness examination required by the village.
Luonuansuu filed a federal lawsuit seeking back pay and damages claiming disability discrimination and retaliation by the Lordstown police department.
Last week, the police department filed a motion in U.S. District court stating Luonuansuu failed to submit any claims that would entitle him to relief from the court.
The motion also alleges that it was improper to name the police department as the sole defendant claiming the department is not a legal entity capable of being sued.
21 News left a phone message on the office answering machine of Luonuansuu's attorney, but has not received a response.
In June of last year, Luonuansuu successfully recovered $880 plus interest when a judge in Trumbull County ruled that the village improperly deducted the cost of those medical evaluations.

We have visited the botanical gardens on several occasions and today visted their special mothers day promotion. Half price entry for the good lady, and a food and craft fair to boot! Staff were helpful and friendly, the train driver has sold us another vist later in the year for the kids to go pond dipping and den building. A beautiful spring day, and even though some plants are late budding this year with the weather, the venue has made the visit worthwhile and enjoyable

Feet become cracked and painful from the accumulation of dead skin. Our scientifically formulated product contains all natural extracts which exfoliate and moisturize your feet at the same time. Beautifoot penetrates into the layers of dead skin cells and breaks down the layers which easily peels away from the fresh layer beneath. After the peeling process, your feet are reborn and become softer, giving you healthy, beautiful feet.

Massacre at Barnes Avenue…seven years on
KINGSTON, Jamaica — Residents remember the blood-curdling screams of 10-year-old Sasha Brown as she called out to her neighbours for help as fire ravaged the house she was locked in.
The building had been shot up and firebombed by gunmen who then stood guard and fired a volleys of shots at anyone who dared to try and help her.
Her grandparents and aunt also died in the fire, the result of gang feuds in the troubled Maxfield community.
Randall, Sasha's uncle, told the Jamaica Observer he was next door on that fateful morning seven years ago.
He recalls the gunshots vividly; running from the house and down the street, into another dwelling to find cover. Not knowing he was running away from what would be the scene of horrid and senseless killings.
We're shown the building from which the gunmen observed their gruesome act, firing at would-be Good Samaritans.
"It was the worst thing I've ever seen", said one man who declined to be identified. "Trust me, sometimes I think about it and wonder how people can stay so. Wickedness that", he said looking at the charred remnants of the house which held a once happy family.

Maybe I'm hearing what I want to hear but it sure sounds like he wants to stay in Dallas. He says there are "exciting things" happening in Dallas. He also says he's still a Dallas Star and he wants to keep talking to them leading up to July 1st. What do you think?
