A word from Mockingbird Bistro
Mockingbird Bistro Wine Bar combines Sheely's Texas roots with a style of cooking that he knows well, that of the Riviera, specifically the French Riviera. At Mockingbird, the feel of the menu is "country-French-meets-American-market." Sheely updates the menu seasonally to take advantage of the ingredients available at-market, as well as to give him the freedom to exercise his creativity.Continued

- OpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 11/16/2014Our group of four dined on a Sunday....a fact that contributed to our enjoyment. The place was quiet, with few tables occupied. Thus, the wait staff and kitchen were far from stressed. We each had a different entrée: bouillabaisse, steak, duck and lamb shank. All were perfectly prepared and delicious. One reason we return here is that we have always had excellently-prepared food. The fact that it was quiet helped us enjoy the time with our out-of-town guests.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Lovely dining bistroDocTurkVIPDined on 11/16/2014While the menu is somewhat limited, the quality, presentation and taste of the food are excellent. Also, the service was great, without being intrusive. We will definitely plan to dine there again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fab brunchAllieDined on 11/9/2014Great brunch at the Mocking Bird Bistro. 1st visit and would definitely be trying it again for lunch or dinner.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great FindcawineoVIPDined on 11/8/2014Wanted a nice quiet meal with a great bottle of wine and found it here. Will be back...Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Chef John SheelyRoncommentsDined on 11/8/2014he continually puts out a terrific product- the atmosphere is inviting and his staff is helpful and attentiveSpecial Features:
- Perfect Second DatePerfectFirstDateDined on 11/8/2014Mockingbird Bistro is a huge surprise to me. I didn't realize how beautiful this restaurant is. My date was very impressed not only with the ambiance of the restaurant but also the location which is tucked away in a nice neighborhood. Everything was perfect from the parking attendants to the hostess and the wait staff. The food was delightful. The Manager even came to pour our first glass of champagne and welcome us to the restaurant. The night couldn't have been any better for a second date.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Poor service by wine sommelierOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 11/1/2014When two men are out at dinner to celebrate their anniversary it should not be assumed that the white guy is paying or ordering the wine. My husband chose and ordered the wine from the waitress. The wine sommelier came up to our table looking only at me and not at my partner and informed me that our selection was not available i directed him to my partner who chose another suitable wine. I found the actions of the sommelier very unprofessional, RUDE, and somewhat bigoted. The waitress and other staff were outstanding as was the foodSpecial Features:
- Terrible experienceOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 11/1/2014Service was unbelievably slow. Took an hour and 45 minutes to receive entres. Three people came by the table to tell us the meal was on the way out, each 10 minutes apart. There was obviously a problem in the kitchen and it would have been better if they had told us upfront. Will never return.
- Taken by surprise, or just taken?!CarolDined on 10/31/2014This is a lovely restaurant no doubt about it. After looking over the menu and the price ranges, our waiter informed us of the specials that evening. I ended up ordering the "special" seafood entree which consisted of 3 scallops, 3 shrimp, a small mound of risotto and some peas and carrots on the plate. I was shocked to learn later that my entree cost $55.00! Guess I should have asked beforehand however suppose I made the assumption that the price would be somewhat in line with the other menu items listed. My meal was good, but I would not say it was worth $55.00 good. So buyer beware. This place can be more pricey than you may think. My husband ordered the "kobe" beef burger and wasn't too impressed with it.Special Features:
- Great French BistroKonacallahansVIPDined on 10/27/2014Wonderful food, great selection from the wine list, pleasant and efficient staff, and a comfortable atmoshere. The food was very good, I'm lookin gforward to going back.Special Features:
- Relaxing Sunday BrunchWCR75Dined on 10/26/2014Enjoyed a relaxing Sunday afternoon brunch. Really appreciated the restaurant's decor. The wait staff members were efficient and professional. The starters and the entrees we ordered were delicious. Always appreciate those restaurants that manage their parking with valets rather than leaving their customers to search for parking. We will definitely visit the Mockingbird again.Special Features:
- Good but pricey for what u getJohnSFVIPDined on 10/22/2014Great they have foie gras which is why I went. But prep as not as skilled as other fine restaurants. No fruit/wine reductions with it. Kobe burger for $32 was not that great for the priceSpecial Features:
- Awesome Business Dinner!TexasEx91VIPDined on 10/22/2014Could not have been a better venue or meal for a serious business discussion. Thanks!!!Special Features:
- Lovely, as AlwaysHM215VIPDined on 10/15/2014Extremely tough to beat MB for the overall experience. It's just a really, really nice, low-key, unpretentious place to have a great dinner. The food and service are invariably excellent, but it's really the overall atmosphere and vibe that keeps us coming back and gushing over it every time we go. Lotta restaurants provide great food and service (and a lot don't), but very few can do what MB does. Dying to try to his new Italian Osteria. We loved our swordfish/crabcake special and scallops, and the completely BA bread pudding/cinnamon ice cream for dessert.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Great for a romantic dinnerThePanamanianDined on 10/10/2014Me and my girlfriend at the Mockingjay Bistro for our five year anniversary, and everything from the ambiance to the food was excellent. My girlfriend had an off-menu dinner recommended by the chef (which I must admit was the better plate), and I had the "Bouillabaisse", which was amazing. Dinner came out to around $140 with tip- but this was mostly because of the off-menu dinner. Will definitively come back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Great Place!CareBearDined on 10/3/2014Our food was delicious, the wine was excellent and our server, Caitlin, was outstanding and fun!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Mediocre Food n service qualityKritikfoodieDined on 10/3/2014They only had one bottle left of the wine and also one bottle left of the champagne we wanted that we have to make do with whatever that was similar. Reason was its end of the month but we were there early October. We wEre informed of the dinner special and ordered them but the service staff came back later informing us that they ran out of one of the special. Further to that the sides were salty n a wrong order were made-they seem to ignore our comment about the extra order and the salt content. The food was not as good. In fact many of us didn't finish our food and none of the service staff seemed to care. We've been here a couple of times and remembered good service and food. But this time we are definitely not coming back.
- Had a great time.AwesomeNightDined on 9/29/2014Took my wife out for a romantic night in the city, we had a great time. Loved the place, the food was amazing and the service was even better. I will definately be going back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful food and service.dtabtxDined on 9/27/2014This was our first time (5 diners) at Mockingbird Bistro, and the evening couldn't have been better. Service and food were both excellent. Everyone's food was excellent - flavors, style, and presentation. The wait-staff worked together to ensure every request was met. Absolutely a top-notch dining experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice, but overpriced!JJRJVIPDined on 9/27/2014This has been a favorite of ours for years, but paying $56 for a dry veal chop is ridiculous. And their infamous hamburger is now $32! With so many other restaurants in Houston, we won't be back for a while. Too bad.Special Features:
- Delicious DiningBeckyDMcVIPDined on 9/26/2014We had the pleasure for dining at Mockingbird Bistro prior to attending the theatre. We were seated quickly. Our server was informative and professional. I ordered one of the specialty cocktails and it was inventive and tasty. Our whole meal was delicious, we each had different entrees and all of our group of 4 enjoyed our choices. Desserts were perfect to finish off a fabulous meal. We were never rushed but we also finished with plenty of time prior to the theatre. We will be returning very soon.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great for my birthday dinner!OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 9/25/2014My wife took me to the Mockingbird Bistro for my birthday. My wife had the scallops and I had the lamb shank special. Both of them were excellent. Couple of good zinfandels on the "by the glass" wine list...making an already good meal even better. Chocolate cake and coffee topped off a delicious meal. With great service and a nice atmosphere Mockingbird is becoming one of our favorites.Special Features:

- Mockingbirds sang for my baby boy!2clinkORnot2clinkDined on 9/14/2014Nestled between what looks like just a beautiful neighborhood is an amazing little find Mockingbirds Restaurant. Was fantastic for brunch as my 24yr old sons birthday. Best choice was the French toast, WOW! The fresh fruit on top of it was perfect and the strawberry butter that is served with it was a paring out of this world. The eggs were the only disappointing part of our meal. As I ordered over medium and scramble was also ordered for another in our party. Both plates of eggs came out over hard. Oh well. They were still enjoyable and they brought my son the most beautiful chocolate truffles, with fresh mint and hand written happy birthday scrolls across the plate. Clink on & enjoy the mimosas too!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Jeffersonville, IN
Jeffersonville locals love spending a relaxing afternoon by the Ohio River at Charlestown State Park. Once a part of the Indiana Army Ammunition Plant, the park is now given over for locals to enjoy. Deep valleys and stony hills provide excellent hiking for all who want to get some exercise while viewing nature's beauty. You can explore the park's 15,000 acres via a dozen miles of trails that traverse the park, ranging from moderate to quite rugged. There is plenty of other fun to be had in the park, camping and fishing being two of the most popular activities.
Jeffersonville kids can spend an exciting summer learning about science at the Discovery Science Camp, a science summer camp for young children. As part of a collaboration between the county 4H program and the Purdue University Science, Engineering, and Technology Program the science camp provides multi-day classes on a variety of topics like robotics, general chemistry, and basic rocket building. Campers get to work as a team to perform science experiments and do creative science projects together. With new science topics every week you could come to camp again and again and always learn something new.

Starbucks snaps up Teavana tea brand for $620m
Starbucks has added to its tea portfolio by snapping up the Teavana brand, which sells high-end loose leaf teas in 300 shopping malls across the US.
Teavana: Starbucks buys tea brand
Starbucks has paid $620m in cash to buy Teavana, which it will add to the Tazo tea brand it already owns.
The Seattle-based coffee chains plans to expand the Teavana brand beyond the shopping mall with standalone shops, adding tea bars to its portfolio.
Starbucks opened its first Tazo tea shop earlier this year, where customers can buy speciality drinks and blend loose leaf teas with the help of employees.
It is thought that Starbucks is now planning similar type shops for Teavana, which will include the opening of overseas outlets. According to Starbucks, the global tea market is now valued at $40bn.
Starbucks, which has been hit by criticisms over its use of tax loopholes, has looked to broaden its appeal and shift away from its core offering of selling take-away coffee.
These include launching a chilled coffee product called Refresha, acquiring juice brand Evolution Freshin and making its first foray into the low-calorie fruit juice market with the purchase of Starbucks Refresher beverages.
Howard Schultz, Starbucks chairman and chief executive, commenting on the deal, said: "We believe the tea category is ripe for reinvention and rapid growth. The Teavana acquisition not positions us to disrupt and lead, just as did with espresso starting three decades ago.
"Teavana's world-class tea authority, coupled with the romance and theatre of the retail experience that is the heart and soul of Starbucks, will create a differentiated customer experience and business opportunity that delivers immediate value to shareholders."Follow @johnreynolds10

"Part of the inhumanity of the computer is that, once it is competently programmed and working smoothly, it is completely honest."
"University President: Why is it that you physicists always require so much expensive equipment? Now the Department of Mathematics requires nothing but money for paper, pencils, and erasers...and the Department of Philosophy is better still. It doesn't even ask for erasers."
"Jokes of the proper kind, properly told, can do more to enlighten questions of politics, philosophy, and literature than any number of dull arguments."
"Suppose that we are wise enough to learn and know - and yet not wise enough to control our learning and knowledge, so that we use it to destroy ourselves? Even if that is so, knowledge remains better than ignorance."
"I prefer rationalism to atheism. The question of God and other objects-of-faith are outside reason and play no part in rationalism, thus you don't have to waste your time in either attacking or defending."
"To insult someone we call him "bestial." For deliberate cruelty and nature, "human" might be the greater insult."
"No sensible decision can be made any longer without taking into account not only the world as it is, but the world as it will be. . .."

It is a terrific idea for executive-development professionals to
play a role in the strategic-planning process, the formation of
high-level goals and execution plans. Why? Strategy formulation is
the process of choosing the best path for an organization, based on
customer needs, competitive realities, and internal capabilities.
Those organizations that can integrate all three perspectives
effectively into strategic planning will have more robust
strategies and will perform better. The planning process also
benefits an executive's personal development; the process stretches
thinking, builds new skills, and provides an opportunity for top
management to see up and coming talent in action.
While some organizations actively link executive development to
strategic planning, it is more the exception than the rule. Why?
There are three reasons. First, executive managers are not
motivated to integrate executive development and strategic
planning. They simply haven't seen or experienced good examples of
how the integration can be done. Second, there often is limited
ability to integrate the two processes. The integration involves
art and science. The organization needs individuals who
understand the development processes and who have expertise in
management evaluation and development, balanced with long-term
strategic planning. Third, there often are not great opportunities
to do so. The planning process can happen relatively quickly,
usually with a small group of insiders, not affording ample
opportunity to flesh out the management development discussions.
Of course, a big problem with this disconnect is the creation of
strategies that simply don't work because they are not grounded in
reality. In other situations, the planning process gets too far
ahead of the management-development process, and the talent
pipeline is not delivering the quantity or quality that the
organization needs.
How To Get Executive Development Professionals
Executive-development professionals can adopt the following five
guidelines to play a significant role in the strategic-planning
process, which will result in better strategic plans and provide
great developmental opportunities.
1. Acquaint yourself with the process.
Executive-development professionals often are left out of the
planning loop. They have a difficult time knowing the answer to
such key questions as: How is strategy at your organization
created? Has the organization retained a strategy consulting firm
to help craft a new set of organizational plans? Which executives
are charged with driving new strategies?
Development professionals need to have the answer to these
questions, because once a strategy is agreed to, the executive team
is going to start thinking about execution, and that is where the
development professional comes in.
2. Integrate business plans and executive development
Executive development professionals need to ensure that business
plans and people plans are in synch. To do so, they need to make
the case for their involvement in the strategic-planning process in
part based on the unique perspective that only they can provide.
Other management insiders may see aspects of the organization that
the development expert has not experienced, but the development
professional is best suited to determine how much development
activity is needed.
3. Inject objectivity and facts.
There needs to be a ruthless pursuit of having the right leaders in
the right roles at the right time, which means casting aside
politics, something that is sometimes easier for development
professionals who typically are removed from the business units and
its politics. They need to bring the facts to the table in the same
way that other business areas do. As a development professional,
they need to bring information on what level of senior talent the
organization has today, and who is in the pipeline in the context
of strategic plans and organizational needs. Consider using a
succession database to track your management assets. Have the facts
on what it takes (time, money, and so forth) to develop executives
vs. hire outsiders.
4. Ensure development activities support corporate
For executives, the last thing any organization wants to do is take
them offline for a training session. Development needs to occur on
the job, and help each executive achieve their specific business
challenges. Action Learning is perfect for this. Action learning
takes current business imperatives and challenges and uses them as
a basis for the developmental experience. Coaching and reflection
are embedded into the project life cycle to ensure that individual
development occurs alongside "real work."
5. Involve the board of directors and top
Development professionals should get their board of directors and
top executives involved in executive development. Have them mentor
and coach other high-potential managers and use them as presenters
in development sessions. This is beneficial for the up and coming
managers as they get great exposure to the senior team in the
organization. You likely will notice that eventually development
discussions that involve the most senior executives will inevitably
include strategic issues; this is great. Similarly, you want
strategic-planning discussions to include a bit about development.
Ideally, you will achieve a blurring between the strategic-planning
process and the executive-development process by having the top
executives involved in key executive-development activities.
Executive development has a very different role than in the past,
and this role will continue to evolve. By actively supporting the
strategic-planning process, development professionals can manage
executive development as a much more strategic fashion than just
building competencies in the upper ranks, helping build better
plans and executives at the same time.

book club southern-ish picnic
- c
- charlesbois Feb 26, 2011 04:30 PM
It's my turn for book club, and I have the challenge of bringing food that can be served cold or at room temperature. In addition, it all has to be cooked in the 2 nights prior to the meeting, and most of it has to be kept in a cooler (there will be room in the fridge to refrigerate 1 dish).
The book is by Fannie Flagg, so I was going to do southern-inspired picnic food. I'd like to keep it a mostly vegetarian meal, with one dish being meat. I was thinking the following:
black eyed pea salad
spinach salad with sweet potatoes and pecan
cold fried chicken
(the two salads are inspired by chow recipes)
I need something to round it out. I was thinking a cream cheese-based dip? Not necessarily southern, but that's ok. I'm not a big fan of cream cheese, but I was thinking artichoke and cream cheese...or peach chutney and cream cheese?
What about dessert? Icebox cake? Any ideas are appreciated!
re: Jeri L
or cream cheese with hot pepper jelly.
I think Jeri L and Mrs.Cheese are on the money but for dessert ice box cakes are messy to serve, I would do a bar cookie of some sort maybe pecan squares, or gooey butter cakes in any flavor. Sounds like fun good luck Juli
Deviled eggs were my first thought. Potato salad would be good. If you want to do a cream cheese spread go with pepper jelly rather than chutney. Something pickled is always good.
Since you have to cook 2 days prior, perhaps a pound cake or cookies for dessert.
Thanks everyone for the suggestions. Pimento cheese is a good idea, but I don't know if I could carry it off. I love the pepper jelly and cream cheese idea. And deviled eggs are a good idea too, but I think they're just too labor intensive with everything else I'm making.
I totally agree with the icebox cake being too messy, and will probably go with a bar cookie or the lemon tassies.
I think I'll add some biscuits to the menu too. I'll serve with beer, iced tea and probably a white wine (there's a lot of wine drinkers in the club).
re: charlesbois
How about some shaved ham inside those small biscuits?
re: charlesbois
For transporting deviled eggs I find it easiest to make the filling ahead of time and fill the egg whites just before serving. If the filling is in a ziplock it's a breeze to just cut a corner off and pipe the deviled yolks quickly into the whites!
Cheese straws are another traditional nibble which can be made ahead of time.
re: charlesbois
charlesbois, pimento cheese sandwiches are the ultimate Southern picnic food. I am wondering why you don't know if you could carry it off?
re: jmcarthur8
Well, I've never had it, and probably would not like it, because I'm not a big mayo, cheese or pimento fan! I tend to make things I can taste and judge accurately, and I don't think I'd be able to do it justice.
Just as a background, I'm up in Michigan, and I work right near Zingerman's (famous deli and food ordering service) and I know they make some pimento cheese, so I might wimp out and buy it instead of making it.
re: charlesbois
Oh, that explains it! No point in making something when you don't like any of the ingredients, I understand!
Though I live in the South now, I grew up in Columbus, Ohio, and my grandmother (back in the 60's) used to get pimento cheese from the deli at the big Lazarus dept store downtown. I didn't know it was a southern thing till I moved here in 2002.
Buying it from the deli may be a good compromise for you. The way it's served here is on soft white bread cut diagonally. No rye, whole wheat or any other type of bread if you want it authentic.
re: charlesbois
Is there a Fresh Market grocery in your area? They are out of NC and make very good pimento cheese. I especially like their version with jalapenos!
for dessert how about red velvet cupcakes. And pimento cheese is easy, easy, easy-cheddar cheese, mayo and pimentos wiht the juice.
This thread has lots of ideas on Southern dishes meant not to be served hot. It may help.
you've gotta have potato salad! deviled eggs are great, but they are tricky to transport.
corn muffins with whipped butter and red pepper jelly (jalapeño) jelly would be very nice.
by the way, cream cheese was NOT a ubiquitous spread when i was growing up in the south. butter would be used on muffins or cornbread, not cream cheese.
biscuits would be good to have to sandwich some of that cold fried chicken. <by the way, we'd find a way to keep some mayo dressing cold long enough to make little sandwiches>. ham is a classic, too, and it doesn't need to be the ultra-salty country ham.
i'm not thrilled with the spinach salad idea. it's not very "picknicky" in my opinion. plus, you can only dress it at the last minute, which may not be a problem.
i love the idea of the black eyed pea salad -- especially one that has the red bell pepper diced it it.
and meatn3 is right -- pound cake would be perfect!
don't forget the iced tea! ;-).
re: alkapal
You are right - never would have the cream cheese/pepper jelly on corn muffins or even biscuits!
It used to be a "fancy" appetizer. Mold the softened cream cheese into a bowl (lined with plastic wrap) or a small spring-form pan. Chill. Just before serving unmold the cream cheese onto a platter. Pour/spread pepper jelly over the top, artfully dripping it over the edges. Serve with Captain Wafers!
There was a variation on the molded cream cheese where it was covered with cocktail sauce then a (gasp) drained/rinsed can of baby shrimp was the final layer. Grab a Captains Wafer and dig in...
The spinach salad isn't working for me either...
re: alkapal
Yes my (Jewish) husband cannot believe that I didn't eat cream cheese growing up in NC. My mom would buy it in blocks once or twice a year to make a mashed potato casserole. I thought that and cheesecake was its only use!
I don't think this picnic would be southern without biscuits or devilled eggs!! And for dessert I would agree that red velvet cupcakes and maybe a pecan pie bar would be great choices.
re: hazelhurst
you're joking, right?
even if you were serious, aspic would be a ladies' *luncheon" dish -- not a picnic dish.
re: alkapal
I must have seen aspic at fifty picnics in my childhood..it was as ubiquitous as potato salad. In very hot weather it was usually replaced by, of all things, a ghastly salad with jello cubes. I concur with the devilled eggs, too...I don;' think I have ever been at a southern picnic or tailgate that did not have them.
re: hazelhurst
Have to agree...The only kind of picnic I've ever been to is Southern ~~ Deviled Eggs, and Minner & Cheese is a must!! If it's not there?....Somebody is in a heap of trouble! ~~~ Scratch made chocolate brownies loaded down with pecans was/is always a favorite too!

Chopard Returns to Bal Harbor
April 23, 2012 | by —MARIA TETTAMANTI | Homepage
White-Gold Chopard Imperiale
When Chopard reopens at Bal Harbor Shops this Wednesday, it will do so with this stunning new Chopard Imperiale timepiece ($26,430) as its latest gem. The Swiss watchmaker's new yellow-gold watch is understated luxury at its best. Note the amethyst lug, mother of pearl dial, and chic dagger-shaped hands.
Also new to the boutique is its design: architect Thierry W. Despont modeled the new store as an eco-friendly spectacular where the drama of diamonds and the fine art of watch-making merge with state-of-the-art technology. To properly reintroduce the boutique to Bal Harbor, Chopard president and CEO Marc Hruschka will host a private cocktail reception benefiting the Bass Museum of Art later this week. 9700 Collins Avenue, Bal Harbour

text: Pat Caddell Exposes Anti-Fox News Author's 'Lazy,' 'Clueless' Reporting Print article Send a Tip by Celia Bigelow 1 Apr 2013 post a comment Fox News Contributor and Democratic pollster Pat Caddell wrote a scathing editorial over the weekend exposing Gabriel Sherman, author of a forthcoming hatchet-job biography smearing Roger Ailes and Fox News, for "lazy" and "inaccurate" reporting. At one point, Caddell even accuses Sherman of being too "obtuse" to use a Google search for basic research. What has Caddell fired up, and why does he care about the little-known author? Sherman has been awarded a well-paid fellowship from New America Foundation (a George Soros-backed organization) to write his anti-Ailes biography; as a part of the research, he's reportedy been calling, emailing, tweeting, and emailing numerous employees and associates of Fox News. Thus far, Sherman has been denied access to Fox News employees and Ailes--leaving him few sources for his book. Instead, Sherman has been allegedly "stalking" Beth Ailes (Roger Ailes' wife) and tweeting random Fox employees. Here's where Caddell comes in. After a seemly uncontroversial and unrelated editorial from Caddell about a speech from President Jimmy Carter, Sherman accused Caddell of misquoting Gordon Stewart, a news executive and former speechwriter for President Carter. Caddell's editorial pointed out that Stewart was publicly taking credit for writing Carter's "Crisis of Confidence" speech (also known as the "malaise" speech), a point Caddell contests. Sherman challenged this fact in a phone call and email to Caddell, and tweeted: "So far I haven't been able to find an example what Caddell is accusing Stewart of... If anyone has seen an interview where Stewart has 'claimed to be the author' of the malaise speech, please send along. Thanks." During his call, Caddell claims Sherman also said, "I know that Roger Ailes put you up to it (writing the article on the "malaise" speech)." Put him up to quoting the New York Times? The source Sherman was looking for was, indeed, the New York Times--one of the most widely published papers in the world. As Caddell points out in this weekend's article, Stewart wrote the following in a July 14, 2009 op-ed in for the Times: Meanwhile, mostly secluded in a cabin, sometimes working day and night shifts, my colleague Hendrik Hertzberg and I wrote and rewrote what we had no idea would still be known 30 years later as "The Malaise Speech." (emphasis added) When you google "Gordon Stewart Jimmy Carter Malaise Speech," the third result is the Stewart op-ed from the Times. Caddell minced no words in his weekend editorial, saying, "The Times might not be nearly as important as it once was, but it's still a pretty big paper, and Sherman, a resident of New York City, ought to be more familiar with it, and what's in it. And if not, there's always Nexis and Google to help out." If Sherman is this "lazy," Caddell writes, maybe we shouldn't trust his upcoming book either: We might ask: What sort of book is Sherman writing? Is he really so unable to do basic research that, instead, he has to "crowdsource" a factual question through Twitter? Indeed, such cluelessness, or laziness--or, perhaps on the side of the equation, purposefulness and relentlessness--ought to make people wonder about every article that Sherman has ever written. What possible reason could he be doing this? Could he be simply ignorant--or intentionally ignorant? Sherman's book will be published by Random House on May 21.

Town Square
Baby and mother hit on El Camino tonight @Ventura/El Camino
Original post made by Mayfield Child, Green Acres, on Jul 18, 2007
I took my grandchildren tonight over to Baskin Robbins Ice Cream store after dinner and on the way back while on Oregon Expressway, we were passed up by a Palo Alto Police car with his lights and siren on....
We turned onto El Camino and proceeded south. Coming up on the very corner of EL CAMINO AND VENTURA, there, under a blanket near the crosswalk was a body of a (?) I think it was a woman. She was being attended to by emergency personnel from the Fire Department. My eyes gazed a little further on and I saw an EMPTY STROLLER...my heart samk. I then noticed a person holding an infant. He took the infant over to the emergency vehicle and the paramedics placed the infant onto a stretcher. The Police were directing traffic down Ventura as a detour as they closed off any through traffic while they also were attending to the injured body being placed into a ambulance.
Well done job by the Palo Alto Fire Dept and the Police. They really have been having their share of emergencies these last few weeks.
BUT>>>>>>>> that is more than what I can say about how Caltrans is snubbing the South side of our town....BEEN OVER SEVEN YEARS....HOW MANY MORE ACCIDENTS CAN WE ENDURE HERE?????????????????

NATCHEZ, Miss. (AP) - Adams County's pilot recycling program starts in April with 500 households.
County Administrator Joe Murray tells The Natchez Democrat that the program will expand in September.
Board of Supervisors President Darryl Grennell says the ideal thing would be for the program to target densely populated areas of the county first.
He says the county is so spread out that it's not feasible to run a truck out to an area to pick up one bin.
Murray says once the program gets going full-time, the county may install convenience stations for people who may not have the ability to have curbside pickup. He says the stations could be installed at the pickup areas in the Kingston and Foster Mound communities.
Natchez and Vidalia, La., already have recycling programs.

The right to counsel, badly battered at 50March 14,2013A half-century ago, the Supreme Court ruled that anyone too poor to hire a lawyer must be provided one free in any criminal case involving a felony charge. The holding in Gideon v. Wainwright enlarged the Constitutions safeguards of liberty and equality, finding the right to counsel fundamental. The goal was fair trials before impartial tribunals in which every defendant stands equal before the law.
This principle has been expanded to cover other circumstances as well: misdemeanor cases where the defendant could be jailed, a defendants first appeal from a conviction and proceedings against a juvenile for delinquency.
While the constitutional commitment is generally met in federal courts, it is a different story in state courts, which handle about 95 percent of U.S. criminal cases. This matters because, by well-informed estimates, at least 80 percent of state criminal defendants cannot afford to pay for lawyers and have to depend on court-appointed counsel.
Even the best-run state programs lack enough money to provide competent lawyers for all indigent defendants who need them. Florida set up public defender offices when Gideon was decided, and the Miami office was a standout. But as demand has outpaced financing, caseloads for Miami defenders have grown to 500 felonies a year, though the American Bar Association guidelines say caseloads should not exceed 150 felonies.
Only 24 states have statewide public defender systems. Others flout their constitutional obligations by pushing the problem onto cash-strapped counties or local judicial districts.
Lack of financing isnt the only problem, either. Contempt for poor defendants is too often the norm. In Kentucky, 68 percent of poor people accused of misdemeanors appear in court hearings without lawyers. In 21 counties in Florida in 2010, 70 percent of misdemeanor defendants pleaded guilty or no contest at arraignments that averaged less than three minutes.
The Supreme Court has said that poor people are entitled to counsel within a reasonable time after a case is initiated. But defendants, after their arrest, can spend weeks or even months in jail without a lawyers help. In a Mississippi case, a woman charged with shoplifting sat in jail for 11 months before a lawyer was appointed.
The powerlessness of poor defendants is becoming even more evident under harsh sentencing schemes created in the past few decades. They give prosecutors, who have huge discretion, a strong threat to use, and have led to almost 94 percent of all state criminal cases being settled in plea bargains often because of weak defense lawyers who fail to push back.
The competency of lawyers is, of course, most critical in death penalty cases. In dozens of states, capital cases are routinely handled by poorly paid, inexperienced lawyers. And yet, only very rarely are inmates ever granted a new trial because of incompetent counsel.
In a Georgia death penalty case last year, the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that even though the main defense lawyer drank a quart of vodka each night of the trial, there was no need for a retrial. The lawyer was himself preparing to be criminally prosecuted for stealing client funds, and presented very little evidence about the defendants intellectual disability. But the court said the defendant had a fair trial because proof that he killed a sheriffs deputy outweighed any weakness in his legal representation.
In an infamous 1996 Texas death penalty case, the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals upheld a defendants death sentence even though his lead counsel slept during the trial.
The Supreme Court has made it possible for courts to uphold such indefensible lawyering. In 1984, in Strickland v. Washington, the court said that for a defendant to be entitled to a new trial, he must show both that his lawyers advice was deficient and that the deficiency deprived him of a fair trial a very high hurdle. And the courts majority defined competency as requiring only that the lawyers judgment be reasonable under prevailing professional norms.
Justice Thurgood Marshall, writing in dissent, said the result of this empty standard is covertly to legitimate convictions and sentences obtained on the basis of incompetent conduct by defense counsel. That is exactly what has happened in the past three decades. In fact, incompetent counsel for poor defendants is so widespread that under this standard the prevailing professional norm has been reduced to mediocrity.
After 50 years, the promise of Gideon v. Wainwright is mocked more often than fulfilled. In a forthcoming issue of The Yale Law Journal, Stephen Bright, president of the Southern Center for Human Rights in Georgia, and Sia Sanneh, a lawyer with the Equal Justice Initiative in Alabama, recommend that all states have statewide public defender systems that train and supervise their lawyers, limit their workloads and have specialized teams in, for example, death penalty cases.
There is no shortage of lawyers to do this work. What stands in the way is an undemocratic, deep-seated lack of political will.
