Its cuisine includes polenta, carbonade and chamois, served with Gamey and Chambave raisin wines.
PIEDMONT - Mountains and plains, rivers, cities, farming and industry all live together in harmony in this region. The round hilly area of Monferrato, the rolling terrain of the Langhe, the misty Po river, Lakes Maggiore and Orta. Its mountain resorts along with its wonderful castles, its history, and museums, abbeys and cathedrals, everywhere. But Turin also has its 18th C. architecture, its bronze equestrian statues, its Mole Antonelliana, Egyptian Museum, and Superga.

A must is a visit to the Langhe area and you can check the latest news with this link!
LOMBARDY - Outstanding for its monumental romantic waterways, rich art galleries and quality cuisine.ĀOf course there is also heavy industry, and business. The whole region is identified with Milan, the capital, one of the world's leading commercial centers and the home of famed La Scala Opera House.ĀFor the tourist there is the countryside, valleys, the Alps, and the "lake district": Como, with Griante and Cadenabbia, Bellagio, Tremezzo, etc.; lseo; the shores of Lake Maggiore with Luino and Laveno; the shores of Garda with Salo, Desenzano, Sirmione and Gardone; the Italian shores of Lake Lugano.ĀThe Valtellina and Valcamonica mountain resorts need no introduction: Ponte di Legno, Madesimo, Bormio, and Chiesa Valmalenco, etc.ĀIn addition to Milan, Pavia, Brescia, Cremona, Bergamo and Mantua are rich in art treasures.ĀTypical dishes are risotto, ossobuco and zuppa pavese.

FRIULI VENEZIA GIULIA - Art, landscapes and ancient traditions are the jealously guarded treasures of this region between the Venetian plain, the Alps and the sea. Just think of Udine, Piazza Contarena, with its works by Tiepolo and Giorgione, and the Renaissance splendors grafted onto the Lombard city; Trieste, with the all-pervading presence of Rome in the heart of the city, the Cathedral of St. Giusto, the Romanesque churches and the castles on the coast; and Gorizia, with the Lion of St. Mark on the castle set amid grape-vines and cypresses. Rome is the true mother of this region. Cividale, Tarvisio, Monfalcone and the two jewels of Grado and Aquileia, the glorious city of ancient Rome, and the See of the patriarchate of Byzantium for 13 centuries still preserve her remains. Eat their brodetto, luganighe, and San Daniele prosciutto, with a glass of Pinot, Tocai or Riesling.
VENETO - A welcoming land of a great civilization. Veneto means Venice, above all, the most imaginative city in the world with its Lion of Saint Mark, the Doges, Marco Polo, gondolas, cut glass, Grand Canal, Goldoni, 400 bridges and 118 islands. But it also means much more: for example, the 20 km long open-air museum of the Brenta Canal, lined with Palladio's splendid villas, the spa resort of Abano and Montegrotto, and the whole of the magnificent northern Venetian border with the 'queen' of the Dolomites, Cortina, and the Asiago plateau, and the Cadore Valley; the beaches of Caorle and Jesolo; Verona and Padua with the Arena and the Basilica of St. Anthony. Rice and peas, fish, Venetian-style liver, Vicenza-style dried cod can be enjoyed with the Valpolicella, Soave and Bianco di Conegliano wines.
LIGURIA - Imagine an endless balcony with a seaview from the front, and a compact wall of mountains behind. It is the mildest region in northern Italy; its two rivieras have an exceptional climate all year round. Liguria is the largest producer of flowers although its economic resources come from the sea, and depend on the sea. Genoa, La Spezia, Savona are leading shipyards. Then there is the steel industry at Cornigliano, and the food industry at lmperia. Handicrafts include ivory and filigree work, lace, damasks and velvet. "Pesto" is the Ligurian sauce par excellence. Famous wines from the Cinque Terre need no introduction.
EMILIA ROMAGNA - The region runs from the Apennines to the Adriatic and nearly every town and village has a medieval cathedral, castle and a couple of towers reaching up to the sky. Cathedrals rich in masterpieces, and castles frescoed by the greatest masters. The Farnese family in Piacenza and Parma, the Este family in Reggio Emilia, Modena and Ferrara, the Malatesta family in Rimini, the Bentivoglios in Bologna have left behind priceless works of art. Ravenna, the last capital of the Western Roman Empire, is resplendent in her Byzantine monument, embellished with mosaics.

The cuisine is famous for its meat dishes, sausages, Comacchio eels, tortellini and lasagna. Wines: Lambrusco, Sangiovese, Albana, Bianco di Scandiano.
TUSCANY - The magical evocative landscape of Tuscany, dotted with flickering vines and the darker green of cypresses embodies the classic Italian ideal and is, for many people the very essence of Italy. Old, isolated towns sometimes just little groups of stone houses, fortified Romanesque churches, Renaissance "castelli" and palaces all confront each other in the splendid isolation of the hilltops. A perfect land, and certainly the most privileged. Every town and city has splendid monuments of art, but Florence stands head and shoulders above all. At its center is Florence; to the West is a chain of cities, Prato, Pistoia, Lucca, Pisa. To the East are the ancient Etruscan cities of Cortona and Arezzo. To the South lies Siena, rich in art works. Tuscany is nearly the quintessence of Renaissance, with Florence its shining capital. These are the great cities of the Italian Renaissance, centers of art, architecture, culture, finance, and banking and yet Tuscany remains essentially rural in character, especially when it comes to gastronomy. Inhabitants display a quiet pride and transformed the produce of the land by them into products of world-class quality. Italy's finest extra-virgin olive oil comes from Tuscany, as well as a wave of wines. The visitor has the whole of Italian art at his fingertips from the 13th to the 16th centuries in Florence, Siena, Pistoia, Lucca and Pisa. Artists include Cimabue, Giotto, Piero della Francesca, Simone Martini, Leonardo, Michelangelo. Literature boasts Dante, Petrarch and Boccaccio. Seaside resorts include Viareggio, Punta Ala, the Argentario with Porto Santo Stefano, the Isle of Elba, the Isle of Giglio, and Giannutri. The most important spas are at Montecatini and Chianciano. The festivals are the Palio in Siena , the Jousting Tournament (Giostra del Saracino) at Arezzo and the Gioco del Ponte in Pisa. For handicrafts: ceramics, wrought iron, leather goods, and raffia work. The typical dishes include the T-bone steak (alla Fiorentina), while Chianti And Brunello da Maontalcino wines are known the world over.
UMBRIA - The gentle green land of the Saints: this is the native country of Saint Francis and Saint Clare (Assisi), Saint Benedict (Norcia), Saint Rita (Cascia), The mystical land that inspired Jacopone da Todi, Perugino, Pinturicchio. At Perugia see the Palazzo dei Priori, Fontana Maggiore, the University for Foreigners. In the province, visit Gubbio, Spoleto (famed for the Festival of Two Worlds), Foligno, Todi, Citta di Castello, the Springs of Clitumnus, and the sacred towns of Assisi, Norcia and Cascia. In Terni province, visit Orvieto, perhaps the most beautiful cathedral of Italy, and the Marmore Falls, Natural mineral waters at Sangemini. Handicrafts include Deruta pottery and ceramics, embroidery and wrought iron. In recent years the Jazz Festival in Perugia is among the best known in Europe. The Umbrian school of art occupies a prominent place in the history of Italian art. Norcia's black truffles and Perugia's confectionery are a delight to the palate, while the classic wine of the region is Orvieto.
MARCHE - A miracle of harmony, built up slowly across the ages. An unknown region, that may be defined as summing up all the beauties of Italy. Ancona, the capital, is the great Adriatic commercial port, where you can visit the Basilica of St. Ciriaco, Palazzo degii Anziani, and Trajan's Triumphal Arch. In Pesaro, where Rossini was born, are the Oliveriani Museums, and the Rocca Costanza. Urbino, with the Ducal Palace, the Collegio degii Scolopi, and the University, is Raphael's birthplace. Ascoli Piceno has Roman and medieval remains. In Macerate there is the ancient university, and the Sferisterio, where the Summer Opera Festival is held.

Montesilvano, Silvi, Roseto, Pineto, Giulianova, Alba, Tortoreto, Pescara, Francavilla, Ortona, Vasto. The most important towns are L'Aquila with its fountain with 99 spouts, its beautiful churches.

A region rich in folklore, with so many traditions and the remnants of ancient rites. Local dishes include maccheroni alla chitarra, sgrippelle, and lamb, to be eaten with the typical Cerasuolo and Trebbiano wines.
MOLISE - Molise's past history is largely linked to the history of the Samnites. The most popular areas for the visitor are the seaside resorts along the Adriatic, Termoli and Campomarino, and the mountainous zone of Piano Campitello and Capracotta. The modern town of Campobasso lies in the plain, while the ancient part is up on a hill dominated by Monforte Castle. The craftsmen of this region all work metal, wood, clay and lace with consummate skill. The city of lsernia has the 15th c. 6-arched Fontana Fraterna, and an antiquarium museum, with Greek, Samnite and Roman remains on show.

Typical dishes are maccheroni alla chitarra, polenta and cavatelli, to be eaten with Montepulciano wine.
LAZIO - Lazio is like an oyster shell with a pearl inside. The region contains Rome, but is not identified with the capital from which it often differs considerably for historical and natural reasons. The capital has remains that bear witness to millennia of history, and yet everywhere in Lazio there is something to recall. Viterbo, Tarquinia, Tuscania and Cerveteri speak of the Etruscan civilization. And art is everywhere, too: the treasures in Montecassino Abbey, the Villas of Tivoli, and Ostia Antica. But particularly in Rome, universally known for its monuments of every age: from the Roman Forum to its Renaissance and Baroque palaces, is museums and piazzas, its obelisks and fountains. There is much to see in the environs of the city: the Alban Hills, known as the "Castelli Romani", and the Lakes of Bolsena, Vico, Bracciano and Albano; seaside resorts include Anzio and the Pontine Isles. Typical dishes include lamb, artichokes and spaghetti alla carbonara. Apart from the famous "Castelli" wines, there is also Montefiascone's Est! Est! Est!
CAMPANIA - Settled by the Greeks, Romans, Normans, Swabians, Angevins, Aragonese and the Bourbons - all of whom have left something behind in this region. In Naples the Royal Palace of Capodimonte and Castel dell'Ovo, at Benevento the Arch of Trajan, at Caserta the 18th century Royal Palace built by Vanvitelli, at Avellino the Shrine of Montevergine and at Salerno the Cathedral.

But if you listen carefully, you will discover the myths and the echoes of her history. Potenza dominates the Basento Valley. In Potenza is the Museo Provinciale Lucano, with prehistoric ornaments and other archaeological finds from the region. , Matera is hewn out of the rock with its picturesque "sassi" dwellings. In Matera, the Museum contains many prehistoric exhibits unearthed in Southern Italy. Metaponto is the most interesting archaeological zone of Magna Graecia, Melfi is worth a visit; Miglionico for its Shrine and Castle; Venosa, Horace's birthplace, for its Cathedral. The cuisine is based on vegetables; the Garagusa sausages are excellent. Wines include Aglianico, and Moscato del Vulture

CALABRIA - See the Tyrrhenian with your right eye and the Ionian with your left: a great deal of Greece, a great deal of Rome, a great deal of Byzantium. Calabria had periods of great splendor as a part of Magna Graecia, as one can see from the ruins of the settlements at Locri, Sibari, Eraclea, Crotone. In Rossano Cathedral is the Codice Purpureo, a 6th century Greek manuscript. Citrus fruit is the region's leading crop, and forms the basis of many industrial enterprises. Sila, with Camigliatello Silano, Villaggio Mancuso and the artificial lakes Arvo, Ampollino and Cecita, has become an important center for holidaymakers.

It is Italy's second largest island, and has been inhabited since prehistoric times, as one can see from the timeless nuraghi cone-shaped fortifications/dwellings. In Cagliari, visit the Cathedral, the Church of San Saturnino, the towers of San Pancrazio and Elefante; don't miss Tharros, Oristano and Barumini (nuraghi).

"I train 8 months for this fight, very very hard. I only training jiu-jitsu. I have very big surprise for everybody." - Fabricio WerdumWerdum Pre-fight interview for his fight against Alistair Overeem in HWGP
Scott Coker, on Sherdog's "The Savage Dog Show," joked about which changes not to expect from him after the sale of Strikeforce: "I'm not going to change just because I work for Zuffa now. People say I'm going to start dropping F bombs and yelling at people. That's not going to change. I'm still the same guy and I love what I do. It's been a great thing for me too."http://espn.go.com/blog/mma/post/_/id/1474/classy-coker-keeping-it-clean
Alistair Overeem: "I agree that Cain Velasquez holds the number one position; he had a very good year and beat the champion in very impressive fashion."Overeem talks Cain, Grand Prix, Rankings, M-1, K-1, Fedor http://www.bjpenn.com/profiles/blogs/the-5-oclock-spotlight
"We have been in contact with [Josh] - very loose contact, not serious contact, but he is something that would be interesting for sure." "I think the California State Athletic Commission and Josh Barnett will work their issues out and once he has done that then maybe we will be a little more interested in Josh."Strikeforce president Scott Coker tells heavy.com in the wake of last Saturday's Fedor vs. Rogers event, that he may be interested in signing Josh Barnett if he can clear up his legal troubles.
"Okay - and I want all of you to write this down - I want to fight Fedor. Alistair Overeem wants to fight Fedor in April 2010. So write that down... I don't care [where]. Maybe in DREAM, maybe in Strikeforce. I don't care. I'd rather in DREAM, but Strikeforce is also okay."Alistair Overeem, speaking to reporters after DREAM.12
Strikeforce Press Conf at MSG: Strikeforce announced Wednesday that they will be holding a press conference at the WaMu Theatre inside New York City's Madison Square Garden on July 14 to hype the August 15 fight between Gina Carano and Cristiane Santos. The event is also open to the public. Call me crazy, but I think that this is a historic moment for Strikeforce, mixed martial arts and, more specifically, women's MMA. Think about it: did you ever think that a promotion not named the UFC would hold a press conference at MSG with the main participants being two female fighters? I sure didn't.Strikeforce to Hold Press Conference at MSG For Gina Versus Cyborg
"He's obviously entitled to his opinion, but we're disappointed that Benji is trying to take away from what was such a great fight," said Smith's manager, Mike Roberts of MMA Inc. "At this point, we're moving on and are completely focused on Scott's June 6 fight with Nick Diaz." The Smith camp on Radach's decision to appeal.MMAweekly
Strikeforce/Showtime Adds WAMMA VP Of Fighter Relations As Announcer: Hershman also confirmed a revised announce team for Strikeforce events, reuniting several familiar faces (and voices) from EliteXC and ShoXC. CBS and Showtime play-by-play veteran Gus Johnson leads a team that includes EliteXC/ShoXC commentator Mauro Ranallo, "The Fight Professor" Stephen Quadros, Frank Shamrock, and decorated MMA veteran "The Croatian Sensation," Pat Miletich. For April 11, the team will consist of Johnson, Ranallo, and Miletich, who has done commentary on Fox Sports Net and HDNet. Will BE Staff Freak Out When WAMMA Top Member Announces for Strikeforce? Is WAMMA Slowly Taking Over?
No Overeem In UFC Anytime Soon: I called Strikeforce promoter Scott Coker and asked him. He said Overeem is under contract to DREAM for several more fights and Strikeforce uses him as part of regular fighter swaps the companies do. As a result, I don't expect to see Overeem in the UFC soon.Kevin Iole

I've said it before on S & A more than once, and I'll say it again. It ain't easy starting a TV network. It takes lots of time, patience and money. Lots and lots and lots and lots of money, as Oprah Winfrey is no doubt learning.
Even she herself was recently quoted as saying that if she'd known before what she was getting into starting up OWN, she wouldn't have done it.
Well she must be thinking about that even harder now, as it was reported just recently in Business Week magazine that OWN has lost as much as $330 million, and that industry insiders are quoted as saying that the network won't last unless it can find some hit shows and make a "dramatic turnaround."
The article even quotes one Wall Street media analyst calling OWN: "the most successful failure in television today."
Though, in fairness, it's still too early to say that.
Since 2008, the Discovery Channel, which has been underwriting all the costs of the OWN, has sunk almost $600 million in the venture, but has seen little in return; and according to the article, David Zaslav, the CEO of Discovery Communications, is getting fed up.
Another insider was quoted as saying: "I can't really see Zaslav losing this kind of money for much longer."
But is this really the end of OWN? Like I just said, it's too soon to tell, and I predict that both Oprah and Discovery are going to be in it for the long haul.
Though exactly what kind of time period constitutes a "long haul" is anybody's guess.
Ava | May 9, 2012 8:24 AM
It's not too late to forge that agreement with Google to bring OWN online, Oprah. The overall trend in broadcast/terrestrial TV has been downward. Most/all shows (save a few) are pulling in lower ratings numbers, especially now.
I myself have cut the cable cord, so unless OWN becomes available as a streaming channel (e.g. through Roku, etc), I won't be able to watch. I refuse to pay a monthly cable bill for dozens of channels I don't watch. And as I understand, OWN is often placed on the highest (i.e. most expensive) digital tier.
I respect what Oprah has done over the course of her career. I just wish she had gone a more innovative route with OWN and just gone online or made it available through streaming. Think of what further innovation she could've spurred toward improvement of the Internet! I wish Oprah well, though, she's probably only one or two good ideas away from recovering her mantle of 'where Oprah leads, people will follow'. I don't like that in various parts of the Internet (not here, of course) people with schadenfreude are gleefully attacking her as if she were Kony or something. How quickly people forget...

Phil | May 8, 2012 1:07 PM
Unfortunately, Oprah's mistake lies in thinking that people are positive creatures and want to see the best of themselves reflected on television. No one wants to see 24 hours of positive messaging and success stories. It's boring. People want to see drama-filled catfights, crash-and-burn stories, and backstabbing. Here's the turnaround recipe, Oprah. A mediatakeout daily program in a similar format as that of TMZ's and 2-3 reality tv programs a la VH1...'Baddest Bitches of NYC' or a reality show around strippers from popular strip clubs (hmm, I need to pitch that one). Yeah, Oprah's going to have to completely abandon her values to turn this ship around.
Ernest Paul Jones | May 8, 2012 11:25 AM
Actuarially speaking, this is not as bad as it looks!
If Oprah had good investment advisors...which I doubt...that did not rely on Oprah making a profit...which they do...they would be selling her losses to major corporations. It coud be suggested as an investment in their Diversity Mission to aid the minority business man, or woman.
Losses against profits always benefit the rich in lowering their profits. Since it was Oprah that has gotten Barrack Obama into office her losses could help the rich with great profits protect themselves against the Obama Tax Rules...But, ahm just sayin'
Rodney | May 8, 2012 11:13 AM
Things will get better. Starting next year, hefty increases in affiliate fees from cable and satellite operators that carry the channel will start kicking in...to the tune of $150 million annually. I don't think Discovery will give up on its investment just yet. It does take time and money for a new channel to find its groove.
I find it interesting that Forbes believes Diddy will become a billionnaire on account of his Revolt network. I don't see any of those Comcast channels getting anywhere near the financial support of OWN or the distribution. While Comcast is the largest cable oeprator, you need much more than their subs. to make a channel a success.

NORTH ANDOVER — Construction of a new Dunkin' Donuts on Route 125 may begin by next month, according to an engineer for the project.
Mark Gross, of MHF Design Consultants, presented a revised stormwater management plan to the Conservation Commission Wednesday night. The system will include a sand filter, which will remove sediments and other pollutants from the water that runs off the site, Gross said.
The commission voted to continue the hearing until April 24, pending a review of the system by a consultant. Gross told The Eagle-Tribune he is confident the commission will approve the plan, which calls for a 2,250-square-foot coffee shop with a drive-through window.
The Planning Board has already approved the Dunkin' Donuts, Gross said. The shop will be on a hill at 1018 Osgood St. The dilapidated house and garage that now occupy the site will be demolished, Gross said.
The house was owned for many years by the late William Chepulis, who served on both the Planning Board and Conservation Commission. Cafua Realty Trust, a Methuen firm that owns and operates numerous Dunkin' Donuts franchises, bought the property from the Chepulis family in January 2012 for $400,000.
The commission approved TBI's application to build a ramp from the company's plant at 120 Holt Road to an adjacent site the firm recently purchased. TBI is a major recycler of construction debris.
The commission continued until April 24 Flight Landata's request to enlarge its facility at the Lawrence Municipal Airport. The company provides aerial mapping services.
Commission members asked for more information on snow removal plans. Commissioner Albert Manzi Jr. said he wants to know how the company intends to handle the deicing of its aircraft.
Glycol, the chemical used for deicing planes, poses a danger if it seeps into ground water, he said.
Both the commission and the trustees of the Stevens Estate accepted a forest management plan for Osgood Hill. The details of carrying out the plan have yet to be worked out, according to Conservation Administrator Jennifer Hughes.

Law Firms
Locke Lord's Computers Kept Running While Ike Destroyed 65 Offices
Posted Sep 17, 2008 2:18 PM CDT
By Debra Cassens Weiss
Lawyers at Locke Lord Bissell & Liddell finally got a chance to survey the damage first-hand when their offices reopened this morning at JPMorgan Chase Tower in Houston.
About 65 offices at the firm were so severely damaged from Hurricane Ike that they can't be used, managing partner Jerry Clements told ABAJournal.com. But the firm's computer network kept on humming throughout the storm.
"Some offices, although the windows were blown out, everything is still sitting in place," she said. "I understand that other offices did have things stripped off the walls and pictures that had been blown away."
Despite the office damage, the computer network was never down because computer and telephone lines at the office are all buried underground. Clements says the firm's computer networks are all backed up on a Dallas server, so there was never any risk of lost data.
The Chase tower is making office space available in other parts of the building, and lawyers will be relocating there. Locke Lord's information technology department is making sure that lawyers will have Internet and phone access in their temporary digs.
"On Saturday morning, as soon as the storm passed, we ordered 50 new laptops with satellite Internet cards, and our IT department has been working nonstop to get those laptops up and running" for lawyers who need them, Clements said.
Clements expects the damaged Houston offices will be repaired in less time than it took the firm's New Orleans office to reopen after Hurricane Katrina. Clements says about 20 people who worked in New Orleans had to work in the firm's Dallas and Houston offices for two or three months before they were able to return.

Here is my second mock draft.
To start, the Steelers are going to face severe cap hits this year from many veterans. This is going to force them to make some tough decisions. First and foremost, I think they should cut Ike Taylor. He's done at this point in his career and has been torched by many receivers. If the Steelers cut him, they have to look in the draft for a ball-hawk corner, and they should address this position in the second round. In addition, we need a true 3-4 technique nose tackle. McClendon has done an admirable job, but shifting him to his more natural position of DE would be a better fit. Instead of looking in the draft, the Steelers can find somebody in free agency. I like Paul Soliai out of Miami. He still has some years left in the tank and can make a big impact on the defense. Furthermore, at tackle, the Steelers have Marcus Gilbert, who is actually quite impressive this year (just needs to improve on run blocking), and Beachum and Adams. They also acquired Levi Brown, who may work out at left tackle next year. Lastly, I think the Steelers should cut Ryan Clark. He has been awful this year and has obviously lost a step. It's time for new blood in the Steeler's secondary.
Round 1- Ha'Ha Clinton-Dix, FS, Alabama
Round 2- Louchiez Purifoy, CB, Florida
Round 3 (Comp Pick for Wallace)- Gabe Jackson, OG, Mississippi State
Round 4- De'Anthony Thomas, RB/OW, Oregon
Round 5- Defensive Line Depth

Health care reform is working
President Obama's health care reform legislation takes real steps to rein in waste and fraud in the system and put us on a more sustainable path while reforming the insurance industry and providing access to coverage for the uninsured.
Weeding out waste, fraud, and abuse from our health care system is one of the best ways to improve efficiency and stop the meteoric rise of cost. Many fraudulent claims go undetected and Medicare fraud is considered to be so widespread that it is estimated to cost taxpayers more than $60 billion dollars each year. The health care reform law contained several provisions to crack down on fraud and abuse, including the creation of the Health Care Fraud Prevention & Enforcement Action Team (HEAT), a joint effort by the Departments of Health and Human Services (HHS) and Justice (DOJ) to identify, investigate, and prosecute health care fraud.
The HEAT recovered more than $4 billion in fraudulent claims last year, bringing its overall recovery total to nearly $15 billion in four years. The HEAT's return on investment is startlingly impressive – for every dollar spent investigating and prosecuting criminals, it claims $7.90 in benefits. These recovered funds get reinvested into the Medicare Trust Fund and the U.S. Treasury.
The success of HEAT is just one of the ways the President's health care reform legislation is chipping away at the burdens Americans face when finding the care they need. One of the most debilitating health care costs – the price of prescription drugs – sits disproportionately on the shoulders of senior citizens.
A hallmark victory of the health care reform bill is that it closes what's known as the prescription drug "donut hole" that affects millions of Medicare beneficiaries. In 2010, the first year of implementation of the new health care law, Medicare beneficiaries in the "donut hole" received a one-time $250 rebate. In 2011, these beneficiaries began receiving a 50 percent discount on covered brand name drugs and coverage for 7 percent of the cost of generic drugs in the coverage gap. Last year, coverage of these generic drugs rose to 14 percent and will continue to rise until 2020 when the hole is fully closed.
This means that more than 6.1 million seniors and people with disabilities have saved over $5.7 billion on prescription drugs since we began implementation of the reform measure. In 2012 alone, Medicare beneficiaries in the "donut hole" saved $2.5 billion, or an average of $706 per beneficiary. This is fantastic progress.
I am committing to our continued effort to improve health care in America. We've already had many successes, but I will continue working hard to strengthen our system and ensure that every person has access to the care they need.

Eleventh Hour, hailing from Kettering Fairmont High School in Ohio, first made its national debut on Season 2 of NBC's The Sing-Off, wowing judges with high-energy interpretations of hit songs by Justin Bieber and Bruno Mars. Their performances put them on par with their collegiate and professional competitors, and showed them to be a group with both talent and maturity beyond their years.
Since then, they have shared the stage with acts such as Delilah, Committed and Street Corner Symphony, graced the small screen again on "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" and have garnered accolades in choral competitions throughout their home state.
Their 2010 album, "Electrify," was referred to as a recording that "should make collegiate and even some post-collegiate groups scared of the talent creeping up behind them." And Eleventh Hour continues to contribute to the world of high-quality high school a cappella on their new album, "Turn the Beat Around!"
Late last year, A Cappella Records released a single of the recording's title song, which exemplifies the feel of the entire album. Creative arranging, gifted soloists, and a sense of fun wrapped up in a professionally produced product – every tune delivers on this Kickstarter-funded, 14-track opus, from Sara Bareilles' "Come Round Soon" and Rascall Flatts' "What Hurts the Most" to Stevie Wonder's "Uptight" and Cee-Lo Green's "Forget You."
Founded as an experimental gathering of eight young and passionate singers at FKHS under the supervision of director Brody McDonald, Eleventh Hour has grown into a nationally renowned ensemble that continues to impress both on the stage and in the studio. And you won't want to miss on enjoying the latest chapter in their continuing tale of musical success.
Check out "Turn the Beat Around" today!

Deterrence Of A Criminal Team: How To Rely On Its Members' Short Comings ?
AbstractIn this paper, we assume that a criminal organization is an agency where the Principal and the Agent have different sensibilities towards the risk of arrestation and punishment, and at the same time have different skills with respect to general organization tasks, crime realization or detection avoidance activities (i.e. allowing to reduce the probability of detection). In this set up, we first compare two regimes of exclusive sanctions (either the sanctions are borne by the Principal/beneficiary of the crime, or they are borne by the Agent/perpetrator of the crime), and we analyze the comparative efficiency of the various instruments which are at the disposal of public authorities to prevent corporation in criminal activities (frequency of control and level of monetary penalties). Finally, we study a case with joint liability.

The move would come after a day in which Qadaffi's security forces failed to tame rebel forces throughout the country, who continue to increase their ranks to counter regime attacks.
All the while, U.S. forces are preparing for a humanitarian crisis off the coast, with leadership saying they intend to force Qadaffi's resignation. Talk of a no-fly zone does not yet have full UN Security Council support, but the UK's foreign secretary says it may not be necessary.
Pressure continues to grow on the international community to take further action, with a refugee crisis developing, and The Times of London publishing behind a paywall video of what they allege is a mass grave of Libyans.

On April 13, MGMT will officially release its long awaited sophomore album entitled "Congratulations," which is described by its band members as containing "no singles." After hearing the album, which was made available on the band's website in free streaming format, I would have to say that they certainly didn't lie.
The nine-song album as a whole is artistically a tour de force and a definitive evolution for the band, but many listeners will be disappointed. There is nothing on the album that in any way is like its predecessor "Oracular Spectacular," which was noted for its charming psychedelic pop tunes such as "Time to Pretend," "Electric Feel," and "Kids." The album sounds like a haphazard assemblage of early 60s sounds, dream rock, psychedelic opera, rhapsodic rock and folk. There is no other way to describe the album though without enumerating and musically analyze each song, which I will try to do.
The first song is "It's Working" which is the closest thing they have to a pop song. The opening of the piece is a blend of some of the prototypical jauntiness of the early 1960s music, as seen in bands like Manfred Mann and the Loving Spoonful, and the Beatles post-1967. The structure of the piece, which is similar to rondo form, is fairly innovative for a "pop" piece and has hardly any parallels, with the possible exception of "Every Breath You Take" by the Police.
Their second song, "Song For Dan Treacy," is an odd homage to an obscure member of an even more obscure band called The Television Personalities. The song has the chromaticism and organ sounds of The Doors circa their "Soft Parade" period. The piece is fairly underwhelming though and one of the worst on the album. It does help define the lack of cohesion and the rhapsodic facets that define the later parts of the album.
This is followed by a relatively upbeat "pop" song, called "Someone's Missing," that starts out like something from The Shins' first album "Oh Inverted World." It progresses into an echo-chambered buffet of 1970s sounds that give us the feeling that the piece could be sung on the Midnight Special.
"Flash Delirium," the album's first released single, as it's grudgingly called, is possibly the oddest and least charming piece. It sounds like a blend of a less accessible version of the Doors and a version of Queen without the flamboyance and pomp. The cadence changes of the end are the most rewarding part of the piece but it fails as a rhapsody and as a single.
The song is a distant relative of the next song on the album, "I Found a Whistle," which begins with the all too familiar I-vi-IV-iv chord progression in a warbling electronic form that brings us back to the sound of "Kids" or something off their prior album. The piece works though with its familiar song structure and catchy chorus and is a highlight of the album.
"Siberian Breaks" starts with an acoustic prelude that is blend of Bowie's "Space Oddity," Royksopp, and easy listening music with its melancholic Imaj7-IVmaj7 chord progression. The piece attempts to be folk trance but the latter part of it verges on an echoed amalgam of the band Peter, Paul, and Mary and the Incredible String Band.
Their most critically praised song is another homage piece called "Brian Eno." A notable feature of it is that it fails to establish any modality or tonic until the ending section but this is what makes the piece a success. With all of the prior subtlety that is a staple of the album, they start with a sound like Iron Butterfly and end in a romp that is as psychedelic pop and circus music in its purest blend, without any calliopes.
"Lady Dada's Nightmare," a halfway homage to the Lady Gaga as VanWyngarden states, is the only instrumental piece of the album. Nothing is more 1980s trance than this song – it feels like something out of the film "Xanadu" but without any friendly cadences or consistent key signature. If you gave the "Saucerful of Secrets" version of Pink Floyd some more acid, you would get the kind of sound featured in this song.
Their last song on their eponymous album, "Congratulations," is as close to a psychedelic folk piece as one can get. There are some similarities to the sounds of Donovan and other late 1960s rockers but the piece itself retains a uniqueness that is a hallmark of the MGMT sound. As a conclusion to the album it's rather weak but it is catchy enough to keep the album in our minds, ready for the future listening experience it deserves.
It's safe to say that the band will lose many fans with this next step in their artistic growth, but if the work is as good as I think it is then it will expand the boundaries of contemporary rock and pop and bring those deserters back. Remember when the Beatles released Sgt. Pepper's and ceased touring, many fans thought they had lost them, but their evolution proved to be the best thing for them musically. If you have to know the rating, I'd say "Congratulations" deserves a B+, but the best thing I can say is go out and hear it for yourself.

Per the official website of FC Barcelona, winger/forward Alexis Sanchez did not practice with the Barcelona first team on Friday and is "extremely doubtful" for El Clasico against Real Madrid. Sanchez picked up a slight knock in the Champions League match against Chelsea on Wednesday and was expected to be rested even if he did get fit enough to play Saturday's game.
Along with current first-team winger Isaac Cuenca, who was promoted from Barcelona B this season, B-team player Christian Tello trained with Barcelona's first team on Friday. B-team defenders Marc Bartra and Martin Montoya also trained with 18 players from the senior squad. Three of those players will have to be dropped for the matchday squad, assuming Sanchez does not make the bench.
Between Cesc Fabregas, Pedro Rodriguez, Thiago Alcantara, Tello and Cuenca, there should be two spots in Barcelona's starting XI up for grabs.

"We've been in the process of putting together the distillery for about two years now," Chuck Burkins said.
Two years of hard work for the up-and-coming Appalachian Gap Distillery, which was supposed to start production this fall.
"We were really hoping that we were going to get our coffee liquor and coffee whiskey out by the end of the year. I think at this point that's looking really unlikely," Burkins said.
Any products they sell have to have formulas and labels that are approved by the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau. But: "Just as I'm getting ready to put in my coffee liqueur formulation, the website goes down," Burkins said.
No new labels or formulas are being approved during the government shutdown. All Burkins can do is test their coffee liqueur and wait.
"When you're starting up a business, early sales are important," Burkins said.
It isn't just startups that are affected, though. Even seasonal beers from established breweries are on hold while the shutdown continues, meaning that until the government does something, this beer won't leave the barrel.
"We have a beautiful barrel-aged Russian Imperial Stout coming up and that is waiting for both the label and the formula to be approved by the federal government," said Matt Nadeau of Rock Art Brewery.
Rock Art Brewery in Morrisville wanted their winter seasonal beer on the shelves next month. Now, they could be looking at December or January.
There are about 2,500 craft brewers in the U.S. and this shutdown leaves innovation in part of a $1.5 billion industry on hold.
"They're supposed to be approving our labels within a reasonable amount of time, yet they're still open to accept our tax payments and they're expecting our tax payments on time," Nadeau said.
And he says unless their elected officials step up and fix the problem, all they can do is sit and wait and hope their seasonal sales don't go flat.
We spoke with the Vermont Grape & Wine Council; they told us that because bottling at wineries typically doesn't happen until around May, they won't need labels approved until early next year and they aren't being affected yet.

Mourant Ozannes advises on the £924m takeover of Heritage Oil
7 July 2014
Nigel Hewitson, the legal director of English Heritage, joined the organisation in summer 2001 after spending almost 20 years at the London Borough of Harrow, where he trained as a solicitor and eventually headed up the planning and property function.
Hewitson is also a member of the Law Society Planning Panel and a legal associate of the Royal Town Planning Institute. "I know it sounds arrogant, but when I saw the vacancy in The Times I thought they were describing me," he confesses. "They wanted someone who had a specialism in planning and administrative law and who was interested in the historic environment."
English Heritage looks after more than 400 historic properties and monuments, including Stonehenge, parts of Hadrian's Wall, Dover Castle, Osborne House, Kenwood House and Whitby House, maintaining them on behalf of the owners and opening them to the public.
Following its merger with the Royal Commission last December, English Heritage took over the running of the National Monuments Record (NMR). The Swindon-based NMR houses 10 million items of England's architectural and archaeological past, including plans, drawings, surveys and photographs. As a result, Hewitson added Farrer & Co to his legal panel so that the firm could advise the organisation on its extensive intellectual property (IP) portfolio.
English Heritage, a Non-Departmental Government Body sponsored by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport, also has a key role in the planning and listing systems. As the Government's statutory listing adviser, it is consulted in connection with the demolition of any listed buildings and the alteration of Grade I and Grade II* listed buildings. On the planning side, English Heritage is consulted on any planning applications that affect the setting of the most important buildings.
Each year English Heritage advises the Government on around 18,000 planning and listed building applications; and although the organisation aims to use its role to achieve positive improvements to historic buildings and to ensure new buildings are of a high quality, some people perceive its involvement as an extra layer of red tape. "We're wrongly perceived as an obstruction to the planning system," says Hewitson. "We're seen as a group of people who don't have an eye on the real world and who just slap protection orders on buildings."
Consequently, English Heritage is implementing a modernisation programme that sees the organisation split into five groups, each of which refocuses on its role. "Each of the groups, which has a main customer, is looking at the nuts and bolts of what they do, how they do it and how to do it better," says Hewitson.
For example, the planning and development group deals with statutory case work, such as listed buildings' consents and scheduled monuments' consents (ie ancient monuments) that get referred to English Heritage. The group's clients are those people who want to make changes to the historic built environment, for example developers and homeowners. It aims to help those people make changes in an acceptable manner.
"We want to get away from the idea that listing is about saying to clients that they can't make a change. That's not a tenable position," says Hewitson. "All we want is a layer of decision-making that says, 'Let's think very carefully before we demolish this building as to whether we'll be thanked by our children for doing it'. We're trying to protect the historic environment for the next generation."
The resources group of which Hewitson is a member is responsible for IT, legal issues, HR and finance. The properties and outreach group deals with the management of visitor attractions and English Heritage's education programme. Its main client group is tourists. The research and standards group sets standards across the organisation, aimed at preserving properties for future generations. The group also curates collections, such as the paintings displayed in Kenwood House. Finally, the policy and communications group, which incorporates the public affairs department and policy unit, is responsible for influencing the way in which English Heritage is perceived.
Including Hewitson, English Heritage has five lawyers in its legal department. The lawyers advise on a mixture of issues, from planning law to IP law and from personal injury (PI) cases to commercial property deals. Hewitson says that around 50 per cent of the department's work is outsourced to external lawyers.
The legal panel, which was reviewed last December, comprises Burges Salmon, Farrer & Co, Norton Rose, Ward Hadaway and Wragge & Co. Each of the firms advise English Heritage's regional offices, except for Norton Rose, which tends to be instructed on more complicated cases, such as the Stonehenge project, and Farrer & Co, which advises on IP, employment and PI matters.
Hewitson's most exciting project currently relates to Stonehenge. English Heritage, advised by Norton Rose, is working with the National Trust, the Highways Agency and Salisbury District Council on plans to construct a 1.3 mile tunnel under the existing route around Stonehenge to reduce congestion in the area and plans to build a visitor centre. The planning application for the visitor centre is due to be submitted to Salisbury District Council in the spring and will coincide with the publication of the roads order by the Secretary of State for Transport. The visitor centre is scheduled to be completed in 2008.
"The plan is to have a world-class visitor centre, so that instead of being a stop-off on the way to Bath, Stonehenge can be a full or half day out," explains Hewitson. "What people don't appreciate about Salisbury Plain and the stones is that there are actually in excess of 100 separate monuments, such as burial mounds, in the area."
Up until now Hewitson has advised English Heritage on the acquisition of the site on which the visitor centre is to be built. He has also advised on the content of the planning application and will get involved in a public inquiry should one arise. Hewitson has also negotiated an access arrangement between English Heritage and the National Trust, which owns most of the land outside the Stonehenge triangle.
Hewitson is also involved in a judicial review relating to the demolition of one of the wings of the Regent Hotel in Leamington Spa. Local objectors are trying to prevent the demolition of the wing by Warwickshire District Council. English Heritage became a party to the judicial review because it advised the local authority on the matter.

The Christie Question | National Review Online
Earlier this week, there was a spring in conservatives' step. That was because Chris Christie was in deep doo-doo. His career seemed to be imploding, over Bridgegate. Conservatives hadn't been so happy since the Obamacare rollout (which wasn't that long ago). The end of Christie's career would not be a good thing — for New Jersey, for the Republican party, for conservatism, or for the country. He is a valuable conservative, one of the most talented politicians in America.
No, he's not.
We are lucky to have him on our side — general side.
No, we aren't. And let me add that Jay Nordlinger, the author of this Krispy Kreme RINO tongue-bath, is a perfect example of why I don't much visit the NRO site any more.

Mountain Hardwear just makes really nice stuff.
- Quick-dry
- Lightweight
- Breathable
I have found that MH pant size 6 consistently fits me well...several different pairs of capris and now these all fit the same around the waist, so I have felt comfortable buying this brand online for some time. I waited for a deal on STP, otherwise they can be pricey.
Like the capris, these have the lining around the waist, making them super comfortable. I even wore them to bed on my last camping trip. There is also lining in the crotch, which should prevent chafing on long hikes.
The nylon material seemed to repel moisture and did well to keep the skeeters at bay. The built-in belt is great in that it has a 'flat' design to fit under a backpack strap, is easy to adjust and secure...wish I could get it for all my other pants!
There is a small open pocket on one side, great for quickly stashing a camera or some Clif bars, plus the hidden zippered pocket is good for keys/valuables.
My old nylon hiking pants were too short, these are just about right...I'm 5'9" so might have sprung for the 34" inseems had it been an option. These are long enough to tuck into my socks to keep the bugs off, so that's what matters.
A superb deal for the price!

The Singapore tax authority has issued guidance which confirms the viability of certain Bitcoin transactions. Like the central bank in China, the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (IRAS) took the position that Bitcoin is not a type of money or currency. This is still an unsettled question in other jurisdictions.
Even if Bitcoin is not currency, transactions in Bitcoins can lead to profits which the Singapore authority is happy to tax, at least in some situations. According to the IRAS guidance, short-term speculative transactions in Bitcoins will be taxed, while capital gains generated from long-term investment will be tax free. The IRAS guidance also distinguishes using Bitcoins in purchase of physical goods (taxable) and of virtual goods (not taxable).
The IRAS guidance has been warmly welcomed within the Bitcoin community in Singapore for being "rational and well thought-out." Some observers believe that, given the embryonic state of the Bitcoin economy, an incremental and pragmatic approach to regulation makes more sense than attempts to impose blanket definitions or characterization, let alone any outright prohibitions, on transactions in this new and emerging unit of value.

Hey theres this girl i know who recently took an interest in me. She started texting me and being very flirtatious when im with her. Telling me how funny i am and trying to touch me whenever she has the opportunity. Also she starting inviting me places and really insisting that i come. The one problem is that she has a boyfriend. I know that she has cheated on him in the past and i know that they fight a lot but i dont know what to do in this situation. There are times when i am with the both of them hanging out...its no problem for me to make myself look much better than him since hes kind of a mellow guy. I like being around her and i know she likes me but im getting sick of not being able to go to the next step. Does anyone know what i should do? thanks in advance.
