Voted Best Bar-Bar 2009 By The Fort Worth Weekly
Critic's choice: Malone's Pub, 1303 Calhoun St, FW
Tucked away on the outskirts of downtown, Malone's is like a beacon for grown-ups who don't want to share bar space with fratboys or popped-collared hipsters. There's nothing flashy about the place: The jukebox isn't digital, and there are just a couple of pool tables and a big-screen television. But the bartenders know your name and remember your drink, and the prices are more than reasonable.

Malones Has Gardetto's!
Voted Best Jukebox By The Fort Worth Weekly
Critic's choice: Malone's Pub, 1303 Calhoun St, FW
For those old souls who still judge a place by what's on the jukebox, and hate those touch-screen internet jobs that allow anyone to come in and spoil the vibe, Malone's Pub downtown is like a beacon in the fog. They've got it all: classic funk, hard rock, prog rock, old school hip-hop, and plenty of local stuff. More importantly, they have an old-style box, brimming with taste and a song for every mood.

This Old House: An Oral History
Thirty years ago, the cultural landscape for fix-it television was barren. This was before HGTV offered round-the-clock advice on installing ceiling fans; before Extreme Makeover: Home Edition began mass-producing mansions; before viewers were left to puzzle over the subtle difference between A&E's Flip This House and TLC's Flip That House.
Then, on the evening of February 20, 1979, WGBH introduced Bostonians to This Old House, a show that would invent a new TV genre. "The words 'do it yourself' hadn't been put together in those days," says Russell Morash, the program's creator. "People did not have power tools, did not do their own repairs. They hired people." Morash, together with WGBH's Henry Becton, had a knack for distilling latent cultural interests into wildly popular television shows, including The French Chef and The Victory Garden. Premiering just as the country was sliding into a major housing crisis, This Old House (which WGBH spent a mere $50,000 to launch) would show viewers that they didn't need to buy new homes to be happy. All they needed was a little Yankee ingenuity.
The real estate crunch that had cemented the show's relevance eventually passed. But viewers' appetite for DIY tips, not to mention their fascination with other people's homes, has proved enduring. With nearly 4 million viewers per episode, This Old House has become one of the highest-rated shows of its kind and has won 16 Emmys to date. It spawned a magazine (which now boasts a readership of 5.7 million), a website (that generates 16 million page views a month), and two spinoffs, Ask This Old House and The New Yankee Workshop. Today the various arms of the This Old House brand reach 52 million Americans every month.
As originally conceived, though, the half-hour program that would grow into that multimedia empire promised to be little more than a quaint, televised equivalent of a Realtor's open house. Initially titled House Calls, each episode would show off a completed home renovation (think MTV Cribs for the PBS set). Morash recruited a Globe journalist named Estelle Bond Guralnick to star in the pilot, which was filmed at a Brookline Victorian she had recently written about. The pilot never aired, though, and the whole experiment might have been shelved had it not been for a certain star quality the producers saw in the Victorian's young builder, who had escorted Guralnick around his project. His name was Bob Vila.
Henry Becton (former WGBH president): I sat down and reviewed the pilot with Russ. I thought it was okay; I didn't think it was great.
Russell Morash (series creator): I said, "I think you have to show the process." It's too easy to say, "And then I put down this blue tile." When I see something like what Vila had done with his place, I think, How can I put down my own blue tile? Because I'll never have the money to do it unless I do it myself.
Becton: Boy, when Vila looked at you through that camera, there was something that really connected. Russ and I thought, Maybe we should try to convince him.
Estelle Bond Guralnick (home design contributor, Boston Globe): Russ just felt awful. He called me and said, "They like Bob Vila." I was very busy, and life went on.
Bob Vila (former host, pictured right): They called me up and said, "Come over and take a look at this house in Dorchester. We've got everything ready to go." They had gotten underwriting—I think it was Montgomery Ward—and they had gotten Norm [Abram], who was Morash's carpenter. This just seemed like a lark.
Morash: Norm had built my barn, and I was so impressed with him I asked if he would be interested in helping out. He was a young unmarried guy, and he said sure.
Norm Abram (master carpenter, pictured right): I just took the job for some work in a winter of no work. I thought I'd be in the background of a couple of scenes carrying around ladders.
Morash: We had to do extensive work on the gas mains, and I said, "I don't know anybody who plumbs in the city of Boston." I mean, I was a suburban guy. I knew as much about Boston as I knew about Marrakesh. The gas company said, "Well, we have this firm over in Roslindale called the Trethewey Brothers." I said, "The what?"
Richard Trethewey (heating and plumbing specialist, pictured right): It's a British name.
Morash: My father came to me and said, "I can't believe you're going to put a carpenter or a plumber in front of the camera. What do you expect to learn from these people?" I said, "Dad, I'm not asking them to quote Shakespeare. I want them to tell me, in their own way, how to lay an oak floor, what tools to use, what goes on in their mind."
Vila: Shortly after the first show aired I went out to supper with my wife and two other couples at the old Ritz hotel. There was some buzz in the room, and one of the guys at our table was ribbing me about people recognizing me. You don't wrap yourself around the concept of fame very easily early on.
Morash: It cost us about $30,000 to do all the repairs on the first house. When you think about it, you can't buy half a car for that these days. The house eventually sold and everybody got paid, but 'GBH never got its $50,000 back. They never asked for it back, because the show had taken off.
The first season of This Old House, which followed the renovation of the Dorchester home for 13 episodes, was a massive hit that set a new ratings record for WGBH. Its popularity only grew when PBS snatched up the show for national distribution the next season. Viewers found getting advice from real experts—as opposed to actors—uniquely helpful. The format, however, was less popular with contractors.
Trethewey: At first we were nervous that we were giving away trade secrets, like a magician.
Morash: Richard has had to carry an important message back to the plumbing industry: More information on the part of the public is a good thing, not a bad thing. And I think he's right.
Abram: Contractors would say, "Why are you doing this?" I used to hear that a lot. I felt it was people being insecure. There are going to be do-it-yourselfers no matter what. For those who aren't going to do it themselves, isn't it better that they understand your skill and how much work it actually takes? I think contractors finally got that.
For the first several seasons, WGBH bought the properties the show worked on, then sold them after renovations were complete. But the slumping real estate market of the early '80s convinced the producers to change their modus operandi: From then on, homeowners would pay for all the construction work while enjoying the perks (and occasional headaches) of having a lot of the materials donated by eager sponsors.
Becton: Selling those houses was always sort of nail-biting. We thought, We're not real estate developers. Meanwhile, Russ's realization was that real homeowners might make a more interesting story line.
Dean Gallant (Belmont home-owner, 1993 season): We had the common misconception that if the show selected you, they would pay for everything.
Terry Maitland (Acton home-owner, 1994 season): There are two huge benefits to working with the show. One is that it's going to be done in six months, which is extraordinary. The other good thing is all the goodies. All the donations.
Christian Nolen (Watertown homeowner, 1998 season): At the time, Kohler was the plumbing supplier of choice. They said, "You don't have to, but if you use Kohler, it's going to get donated." I said, "You know, I think I can find a toilet in the Kohler line."
Janice Levine Igoe (Lexington homeowner, 1992 season): You get what they call a bigger bang for the buck.
Lynn Wickwire (Concord homeowner, 1989 season): We got a letter from the IRS saying, "You owe taxes on all these donated items." It was a ton of money—the taxes were going to be something like $70,000. We said, "We can't do that—we'll have to sell the [house]." We ended up hiring a very good tax lawyer. It eventually settled, but we were a week away from going to court.
As This Old House became a sensation, homeowners were increasingly eager to pitch their own projects to the producers. Starting in 1986, the show began filming two renovations a year: one somewhere in Massachusetts (always), and another, less-intensive job in a warmer locale like New Orleans or Bermuda. Finding options has never been difficult.
Bruce Irving (former executive producer): We got boxes and boxes of proposals. We got everything from handwritten notes to full-on bound quasi-PowerPoints. A homeowner named Mills Fleming really was memorable in his high-quality pursuit. It was something along the lines of a phone call, a follow-up presentation with photographs, and then—after my resounding silence—another phone call. He pursued me like a stalker.
Mills Fleming (Savannah, Georgia, homeowner, 1996 season): I would say I was "appropriately diligent."
Chris Wolfe (producer, Ask This Old House): We once got a letter from a man that said something like "I'm writing to you because I need some help with a project. I'm trying to make a hole in a wall, and I have a pair of tweezers, a toothbrush, and a spoon." He went on to say that he was in a federal prison.
Builder Tom Silva (pictured right) joined the show full time in 1986, followed by landscaper Roger Cook two years later. Silva Brothers Construction, which Silva co-owns with his brother Dick and nephew Charlie, has been the general contractor on every Massachusetts-based This Old House project since.
Morash: Tommy's father was a carpenter, and Tommy and his wife, Virginia, and their children lived next to us in our old house in Lexington. Tommy helped me fix up my house. Isn't that interesting? It's all a family.
Roger Cook (landscape contractor, pictured right): It does feel like a family. We're all fishermen, and we'll get together in the summer and go boating. Tommy and Rich [Trethewey] like to be on the water, but I'm the best fisherman.
Igoe: The Silva brothers are known for some of their antics, their practical jokes.
David Vos (director): They're all wiseguys. They could have been great standup comedians or phenomenal builders. They went with both.
Maitland: Charlie Silva has a dummy that he keeps in his truck. It was a filming day, and this new [production assistant] from 'GBH was walking around kind of starry-eyed. So Charlie had this dummy up on the roof, and he let out a huge scream and dropped it. Everyone was in on it, they started running over, Oh my God, oh my God.
Irving: The hallmark of that particular joke was that the PA was standing there with her little clipboard. Over the edge falls this dummy, and she looks up, sees it all happen, and makes a note. We were just like, there's an unflappable PA.
As the most authoritative home-improvement show on television, This Old House provides the kind of platform that's an advertiser's dream. Of course, as a public broadcasting production, it can't accept traditional advertising and instead must walk a fine line with its underwriters. The show confines short promotional spots to the beginning and end of an episode—a procedure that savvy manufacturers are keen to circumvent whenever possible.
Michael Burton (vice president of television operations, This Old House Productions): I think all [the cast members] could have made vast fortunes endorsing a product or two.
Abram: I look at Julia Child. There's a woman who never endorsed anything. The last thing I ever want to be is a pitch-man. I don't want to be running around the country pitching tools or doing infomercials. That's for somebody else.
Dan Beliveau (Charlestown home-owner, 2000 season): You can't name any of the products [on camera]. I kept making mistakes. I might say "Toto toilets" or the brand name of the bamboo flooring. They'd say, "Cut, cut. Can you just not do that?"
Morash: Owens Corning prints its logo on its rolls of fiberglass, and I told our crew to always install it upside down so when you come into a room we're not seeing it. The Owens Corning guys said, "How come you always turn it around?" I said, "Because, you know, we're not supposed to show labels. It's public television—I'll go to Leavenworth if I get caught doing this." It took them about three years to figure it out, but they started printing it in such a way that no matter how it was hung you were going to be able to read the name.
In 1989 the issue of endorsements became a major problem for This Old House. Bob Vila had begun appearing in ads for a small chain called Rickel Home Centers, a competitor with Home Depot, which was an underwriter. Home Depot complained to the producers, and Vila soon left the show. "I am at heart a capitalist," he later told the Wall Street Journal. "The years I hosted on PBS I compare to the years I volunteered for the Peace Corps."
Morash: [Vila] was getting in the face of our efforts to underwrite the show. I said, "Bob, you've got to lay off that." He said, "I can't do that."
Vila: In the beginning, they paid me 200 bucks an episode. After 10 years, I think they'd gotten up to $800. There wasn't any money there. There was money to be had in terms of endorsements and stuff.
Becton: There was no question that we were going to part ways [with Vila], but I don't remember being worried about that.
Morash: In the early days of the show, as I said again and again, the host asks the questions that the homeowner has. If the host appears to know the answer, it changes the chemistry completely. As Vila matured, he became the expert. What kind of cuckoo land was that?
Tom Silva (general contractor): With Bob, you were more just saying yes or no. He liked to control the scene.
Vila: I didn't appreciate the way I was being dealt with, so we just kind of went our separate ways. It was the best thing for me, because within a year I was back on the air with the syndicated show Bob Vila's Home Again and became spokesman for Sears Craftsman tools and did lots of things in the ensuing years that never would have happened.
The show found its new host in Steve Thomas, a shipbuilder and sailor who had recently appeared in a well-received PBS miniseries. Vila's departure eased the tension on-set, but subsequent seasons were not without drama—an unavoidable byproduct when the stress of a home renovation is coupled with the frenzy of television production. The show has always asked its homeowners to contribute sweat equity to help get their jobs done, but few realize just how busy they'll be.
Igoe: The good news is that you actually get your house done on time. The bad news, I have to tell you, is that it was crazy from the get-go, and it just increased exponentially. It was a madhouse. It was pure chaos.
Vos: Our timeline's pretty compressed.
Silva: One of the projects recently grew almost double in size, and the last two months I had 30, 35 people working six days a week to try and bring it in on time. I did it, but it's a tough process.
Gallant: My wife and I had a fair amount of vacation time before the project, and we used it all. Occasionally, we'd hear from Bruce [Irving], "The plaster guys are coming on Monday, so you've got to pull down these three ceilings over the weekend." We enlisted as many strong people as we could.
Wickwire: One night we came home from work, and inside the house were all these boxes of shingles. The pile must have been 10, 12 feet high. They said, "Well, you're going to have to stain every single one of these." I said, "You got to be kidding me." They told us we're taping Tuesday and they gotta be done. They don't care when you get it done, but it's gotta be done by Tuesday, if you have to stay all night.
Nolen: It's renovation at warp speed.
Silva: Outlets are being hung, trim is being made, and the walls aren't even completed. You can't actually finish something until the camera has seen it. That's the hardest part of the whole deal for me.
As if a televised renovation isn't challenging enough, over the course of most projects the homeowners come to realize that being on the show is their one chance to take advantage of the cast's expert craftsmanship—which can tempt them to stretch their ambitions, no matter the cost.
Beliveau: We increased our budget about 20 percent to get on the show, and then we went over that as well. We had talked to other homeowners, and they said, "You just need to keep an eye on the budget—it goes haywire."
Silva: Before you know it, the homeowners realize what they're getting. The next thing you know, they're using those four magic words in construction that always extend the project and always raise the budget. Those words are "while you're at it…."
Maitland: Bruce was constantly pulling in on the reins. We really couldn't afford to do air conditioning, but the contractor said, "I'll just put all the stuff in anyway—who's gonna know?" Bruce said, "I'm gonna know, and furthermore, your budget is a national laughingstock." They filmed the air-conditioning equipment being carried back out of the house while we stood there going, "Bring it back!"
Fleming: We had a small bathroom, and we wanted to put in one of these megatubs, you know? Russ said, "When is the last time you took a bath?" I said, "I don't know, five years ago." It was just one of those reality checks.
In 2003 Steve Thomas left the show and was replaced by Kevin O'Connor (pictured right), a mortgage broker who had appeared as a homeowner on a segment of Ask This Old House. He so quickly connected with Tom Silva and the producers that he seemed like a natural choice to join the cast.
Morash: We were stripping wallpaper off Kevin's house—which needed everything and he knew it—and I remember sort of, not helplessness, but his feeling that powerful forces were overtaking his time and finances. That was appealing. That's what it's all about: You take on too big a house, and you do too many things to it all at once, and you sit down at night and have a sip of wine and think, What did I get myself into? Kevin had a lot of that about him.
Silva: So I see Kevin's toolbox and Russ goes, "What can you do with the tools?" I took his paintbrushes and hot-glued them to the inside of his cabinets. You open the cabinet door, all his paintbrushes were hanging neatly.
Kevin O'Connor (host): You've got to understand—it's one thing to pull a gag on somebody, but this is my kitchen. What's with that?
Burton: That's Tommy. When he likes you, he picks on you.
O'Connor: When they first called and spoke to my wife, they didn't say what they wanted. We sat around the table and talked about it that night. My wife said they were going to ask me to host. I was convinced Russ [Morash] needed a loan.
Burton: Kevin has, more than anyone else, built a relationship with these guys. In some ways, they mentor him, which is kind of cool.
In spite of all the budget overruns and the long nights spent pitching in on their renovations, homeowners inevitably develop a genuine sense of camaraderie with the cast and crew by the time that production wraps.
Liz Bagley (East Boston homeowner, 2006 season): I think that what's so surprising is how suddenly it all ends. You get so used to having people here all the time. And then, there's no one. We miss the guys.
Nolen: We had lunch with the guys every day. We would all sit up on the third floor, 8, 10, 12 of us all sitting on five-gallon drywall buckets. It was magnificent.
Trethewey: It's so intense, and all of a sudden we're gone. It's like we leave a silver bullet on the countertop—Who were those guys?
Gallant: You feel very special while this is going on. You've got a bunch of people who are focused on making your house better—that's pretty nice. Not only that, but several million people are watching it every week. If you can take it, it's good for your psyche.
Thirty years on, This Old House has made a cultural impact beyond public television and turned its stars into unlikely icons. In the mid-1990s the ABC sitcom Home Improvement featured Tim Allen as a bumbling version of Bob Vila and Richard Karn as his able, flannel-clad assistant, a thinly veiled Norm Abram. Even the homeowners achieve a surprising level of fame.
Vila: The Disney people contacted me before Home Improvement premiered. I think there was some concern in the legal department about whether I was being ripped off. The fact is, it's a sitcom based on me and Norm, you know?
Carole Freehauf (design correspondent, pictured right): It could be my dentist or the woman who cuts my hair—you find people all over the place who know This Old House.
Silva: You go into a store, you go into a home center, a mall, airport, wherever—it doesn't matter where you go, somebody will always say something about the show.
Morash: There are Norm look-alike contests where guys grow beards, put on glasses, and wear plaid shirts.
Abram: In the early shows you'll see me in solid-color shirts, and I would have plaid shirts when it was really cold. Russ was the one who said, "You know, plaids, they work really well; you should wear the plaids." I said okay, went out and bought myself a bunch of plaid shirts. Now I can't not put one on.
Nolen: We'll be standing at Logan waiting for a cab, and somebody will go, "I really like that kitchen."
Bagley: I was in Paris and some couple came up to me. I didn't know what they said—it was in French—but it ended with "This Old House."
Abram: It's hard to believe 30 years have gone by. A few weeks ago my wife and I went into the Whole Foods in Bedford. This gentleman was there with two children. He's holding one, one is in the shopping cart. As soon as I walked in the door, the boy who was in the shopping cart recognized me. He turned around and looked at his father, and his father said, "It's okay, you can talk to him." So he goes, "Hi, Norm." I say, "Oh, hi." And he said, "How did you get out of the TV?"

Summer is truly here again! With all of the outdoor activities you're sure to take part in, we should review some basic ailments that come with the warmer weather.
It is impossible to watch a sporting event on television or listen to an hour of sports talk on the radio now without seeing or hearing an advertisement for testosterone replacement. The ads are certainly appealing. Lose weight, improve energy, melt belly fat, improve sexual function, improve mood … sounds like a wonder drug. It would seem that most, if not all, men would find some value in "boosting" their testosterone levels.
Summer officially began on June 20th, and in South Jersey that means one thing: head for the water! Whether you choose to relax by the pool, on the sand or in a boat, water safety should always be a consideration. According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), drowning is the sixth leading cause of unintentional injury death for people of all ages, and the second leading cause of death for children ages 1 to 14. Here are some tips from your family doctor to help keep you and your loved ones safe this summer.
Migraines headaches are an episodic, often debilitating condition most frequently suffered by women. Unlike other chronic pain conditions, migraines are most prevalent during years of peak productivity, when many women are juggling family responsibilities and their careers. Three times as many women suffer with migraines than men; statistics show that 43 percent of American women will suffer from a migraine headache during their lifetime. About 4% of American children experience migraine headaches, with boys and girls affected equally. During puberty, however, girls begin experiencing migraines much more frequently than do boys, largely due to hormonal fluctuations. The good news is that headaches usually improve or disappear after menopause; the bad news is that they often worsen during the peri-menopausal years, requiring treatment for improved quality-of-life.

Lake County Council advises budget restraint for county taxing units
By Carrie Napoleon Post-Tribune correspondent September 24, 2012 4:58PM
Updated: October 26, 2012 2:13PM
Lake County Council forwarded the proposed 2013 budgets, levies and tax rates for each of the county's 61 taxing units to the state and agreed to attach a copy of a letter it will write advising those taxing units not to spend more than their tax rates generate.
County Council members said they wish state law gave them more budget enforcement power, more than the advisory role the council now plays. The vote to send a letter to the taxing units was 5-0 with council members Christine Cid, D-East Chicago and Michael Repay, D-Hammond, absent.
Past attempts to garner cooperation of the county's many taxing units included a red, yellow and green alert system three years ago and individual meetings with county budget officials last year. The alert system was not well-received and the meetings were ineffective, the council reported.
Council president Jerome Prince, D-Gary, said the letter would let the taxing units to know how the county would like them to cooperate.
"As part of the nonbinding recommendation, we need to submit what we feel are the appropriate action they should take," Prince said.
Those suggestions could mirror the action the county was forced to take three years ago, said Lemuel Perkins, county budget consultant. Perkins said officials could use the letter to make general recommendations. The Indiana Department of Local Government Finance will also receive the letter.
Councilman Ted Bilski, D-Hobart, said the county had to reduce its budget dramatically to match its levy growth and other taxing bodies should do the same. He would like the letter to provide a target budget number for taxing bodies to reach.
Prince said while the letter likely will have no impact, it is important state and local officials see what the county has to say.
"To do nothing is to suggest silent acquiescence to continued increases," Prince said.

text: Her feature film Melissa is opening in the fall, but ex-Baywatch babe Nicole Eggert still has chilly memories of her former employer. ''I'm not an active feminist, but being on Baywatch was against everything I am morally,'' says Eggert, recalling her beach-series days as a never-ending fight to wear a jacket during winter shoots. Eggert is much prouder of her work in the upcoming drama. ''There's much more inside of me,'' she says, ''and I just want to be given a chance to show it.'' Playing a down-and-out dancer who's forced to strip in order to pay the bills certainly gives her a chance to reveal herself. Eggert will go topless, she says, ''for about five seconds.''

Press releases
More Passengers at Dresden International Airport
Traffic Developments at Central German Airports during the First Half of 2012: Significant Growth in Passenger and Freight Traffic at Leipzig/Halle Airport, More Passengers at Dresden International Airport
The two commercial airports operated under the umbrella of Mitteldeutsche Flughafen AG, Leipzig/Halle Airport and Dresden International, both registered growth in traffic levels during the first six months of 2012, but growth of different kinds. Overall, 1,886,262* passengers passed through the two airports during the first six months, which corresponds to an increase of 0.6 percent.
There was a significant rise in the number of passengers starting or finishing their journey at Leipzig/Halle Airport in particular. The number of passengers in this sector rose by 14.8 percent to a figure of 896,023* from January to June in comparison to the previous year. This means that the figures for Leipzig/Halle are significantly above the German national average of about two percent. The main reasons for this are the expansion of services operated by Ryanair and the new Turkish Airlines flight to Istanbul.
Total passenger numbers, including transit passengers, rose by one percent to 1,013,336* during the first half of the year compared to 2011.
The above average increase in passengers starting and finishing their journey at the airport was able to compensate for the ongoing decline in transit traffic, which fell by almost 50 percent in comparison with the previous year. Most of the transit passengers are those travelling on US civil airlines. They fly to Leipzig/Halle for technical stopovers and carry relatives of military personnel.
Double digit growth in freight traffic at Leipzig/Halle Airport, Germany's second largest cargo hub, is continuing. The airport handled approx. 422,315 tonnes from January to June. This represents an increase of 15 percent compared to the previous year. This development also contrasts markedly with the general German trend, which registered a decline in air freight traffic of approx. five percent.
The number of passengers passing through Dresden International Airport during the first six months of 2012 rose by 0.1 percent to a figure of 872,926*. Any further growth was particularly hampered by the halting of flights to Zurich, Vienna and Hamburg for the time being as a result of the insolvency of Cirrus Airlines. The flights to Zurich and Hamburg have been taken over by OLT Express with an expanded timetable and have been operating since February and April respectively.
*commercial passengers
"Despite the ongoing difficult general conditions for air traffic, both our airports, Leipzig/Halle and Dresden International, have registered notable growth in traffic. Based on the ongoing growth in the freight sector, particularly as a result of DHL's commitment to the airport, Leipzig/Halle is continuing to expand its position as Germany's second largest cargo hub. Passenger levels are also growing much faster than the German average thanks to the low-cost flights, and this is also being spurred on by the successful new scheduled service operated by Turkish Airlines from Leipzig/Halle.
A new airline partner was quickly found to replace the inevitable cessation of flights as a result of the insolvency of Cirrus Airlines – and OLT Express has even expanded the services previously available. We are confident about the second half of the year as we look at the situation at the two airports and the holiday travel season that is just around the corner," says Markus Kopp, CEO of Mitteldeutsche Flughafen AG.
Flughafen Leipzig/Halle GmbH is a subsidiary of Mitteldeutsche Airport Holding. In 2011, more than 2.27 million passengers and 760,345 tonnes of cargo were handled, thus making Leipzig/Halle Airport the second largest cargo airport in Germany.
Mitteldeutsche Airport Holding is the parent brand of Mitteldeutsche Flughafen AG, a company operated by the public sector. The Group currently has three subsidiaries: Leipzig/Halle Airport, Dresden International Airport and PortGround.
The Group handled 99,184 aircraft movements, 4.2 million passengers and 760,737 tonnes of cargo during 2011. The Group directly employs 1,027 members of staff. In all, 8,802 people work at the Mitteldeutsche Flughafen AG airport sites for various companies and public authorities.
Mitteldeutsche Airport Holding has had a cooperation arrangement with the Shenzhen Airport Group since October 2010.

Document Type Master's Dissertation Author Du Preez, Chrisna Barbara firstname.lastname@example.com URN etd-02092007-093317 Document Title A mesoscale investigation of the sea breeze in the Stellenbosch winegrowing district Degree MSc Department Geography, Geo-Informatics and Meteorology Supervisor
Advisor Name Title Ms. Liesl Dyson Keywords
- South Africa
- wine growing area
- relative humidity
- synoptic conditions
- wind speed
- sea breeze
- atmospheric modelling system
- temperature
Date 2007-04-24 Availability unrestricted AbstractThis study investigates how well the Regional Atmospheric Modelling System (RAMS) simulates the sea breeze from False Bay (False Bay sea breeze) at a small resolution of 200m. It describes the influence of the sea breeze in the Stellenbosch wine growing district focusing on temperature, relative humidity and wind speed and direction through three case studies, using three different synoptic conditions. The RAMS simulations are verified against measurements done by automatic weather stations in the study area for all three case studies. The first synoptic condition investigated is when light onshore flow occurred over the south-western Cape. The RAMS model simulated the vertical and horizontal structure of the sea breeze from False Bay very well. However RAMS predicted the onset of the sea breeze 3 hours earlier than the AWS data predicted. The flow was off-shore in the second case study. The RAMS simulations as well as the observed data from the automatic weather stations, showed the two sea breezes influencing the study area, one from Table Bay, west of Stellenbosch, and one from False Bay. In this case study the model simulated the flatter head and stronger False Bay sea breeze. The third case study investigated the influence of strong onshore synoptic conditions, in which the model and observed values showed that no sea breeze developed from False Bay. From the three case studies it was found that the sea breeze is influenced by the synoptic flow and that the sea breeze causes cooling of between 3°C and 16°C and relative humidity (RH) increase of between 16 – 57% depending on the synoptic flow. RAMS was able to simulate the sea breeze theoretically correct and has the potential to be used to identify climatological areas in the wine growing areas of the Western Cape. Files

text: 5 Better than the originalEtaxFortis | 23/03/2009 | See all EtaxFortis's reviews (1)Studio Japan really did lots of improvements during just one year. Having played the original Patapon for 40+ hours, I see myself playing this game for even longer. Much has stayed the same, but the several improvements were very welcome.For one thing, reaching Fever mode has been made easier. No longer does one need a perfect timing of four consecutive beats in order to reach Fever. Perfectly timed beats are still needed to charge the meter that determines when Fever starts, but it's a lot less frustrating than in the original.New fighting classes include bird-flying Toripons, structure-destroying Robopons and magic-wielding Mahopons (haven't gotten those yet). Also there is Heropon. A leader of the battle group of sorts, he will resurrect automatically after dying, it takes a moment, but still. If you can beat the rhythm with perfect timing (4 consecutive beats), the Heropon will activate his superpower, which depends on his character class. Personal favourite is a Tatepon Hero which activates invincibility for three rhythm rounds.The patapons' evolution has been totally changed. Now there is an evolution tree, with around 15 different patapon types, all with 10 experience levels and different strengths and weaknesses. Maxing out your soldiers will take eternity. Hoarding level 4 and 5 materials to get the best patapons is still a part of this game, but even the mediocre patapon types will be useful after levelling them up a bit.In the original game, even the worst additional weapons and armour were scarce at times. In case you missed them in the "storyline" missions, you had to start fighting against the bosses, in hopes of them dropping something useful. Actually, once you had finished everything else, you could only hunt and fight bosses. Now there are also fortresses to conquer. You may play certain levels with increasing difficulty, where the main point is to advance in the level, killing enemy soldiers and destroying their fortifications. This will give some new gear. Nice addition.There is also a multiplayer mode, haven't been able to test it with a friend, but it's possible to play this MP mode alone. The goal is to carry an egg with a time limit across different stages. Some stages will have you fighting against bosses, others are the conquered fortresses from the storymode. Killing to boss and destroying the fortress will give you access to the ending minigame, which can net you some nice materials and/or equipment.Also the minigames from the original are back, now with different difficulty levels and increasing cost in money. It's a lot more useful to play them now.At the moment the best game for PSP released in 2009. Highly addictive.

Egnaty Creek Prospect, Aniak District, Bethel Borough, Alaska, USA
Location: This prospect is about 0.5 kilometers upstream the mouth of an unnamed creek that is locally called Egnaty Creek; its mouth is on the the south side of the Kuskokwim River about 1.6 mile east of the mouth of Central Creek . It is at an elevation of about 300 feet near the center of section 34, T. 21 N., R. 47 W., of the Seward Meridian. The location is accurate. The prospect is locality 6 of Miller and others (1989).
Latitude: 61°51'59"N
Longitude: 157°52'26"W
Longitude: 157°52'26"W
Geology: The Egnaty Creek prospect consists of fine-grained cinnabar in shear zones and fractures in sandstone and siltstone of the Upper Cretaceous, Kuskokwim Group (Cady and others, 1955; Maloney, 1968). The rocks strike about S35W and dip 45 to 50S. The mercury is mainly disseminated; a few select samples contained about 1.0 percent mercury (Meyers, 1985). No igneous rocks were recognized at the prospect Maloney (1968) described an exploration program at the prospect; cinnabar was found in 100 of 350 auger holes drilled here. No other information is available.
Workings: The Egnaty Creek prospect was staked by John Murphy and George Willis in 1966, after following up the anomalies from a panned-concentrate sample program on Egnaty Creek (Meyer, 1985). The U.S. Bureau of Mines conducted a soil-auger drill program in 1967 and found found cinnabar in 100 of 350 auger holes (Maloney, 1968). Rock samples collected by the U.S. Bureau of Mines contained up to 1.0 percent mercury (Meyers, 1985). Bulk sampling, trenching, limited diamond drilling, and additional soil sampling were also done (Miller and others, 1989).
Commodities (Major) - Hg
Development Status: None
Deposit Model: Silica-carbonate mercury? (Cox and Singer, 1986; model 27c).

Yosemite, May and October
Ansel Adams' Yosemite: The Art of Seeing
May 5 – 9, 2014
October 7 – 11, 2014
Film or Digital
During his career, Ansel Adams photographed many places, but it was to his beloved Yosemite that he returned year after year and where he made his first expressive images.
Let Alan Ross show you Ansel's Yosemite and help you take your photography to new levels of expression, sharing the knowledge and experience he gained by teaching and working alongside the master.
No matter whether you work with film or digital, large or small format, this workshop will help you advance your own photographic vision and technique. You will learn to isolate and evaluate the elements of a scene, translate the literal to the expressive, and use optics and exposure to best effect.
Visits to many of Ansel's favorite locations in Yosemite will provide inspiration and insight, with demonstrations, practice sessions and critique laying the foundation for individual photographic advancement.
What You'll Learn
Among the important topics covered during each intensive week:
- How equipment choice – digital or film – impacts your final image
- Choosing a lens and using it well
- Optics and exposure
- Filters—when and how to use them
- Evaluating a scene and managing the details
- Tonality
- Translating what's in front of you to what's in your mind's eye
- Preparing the image for printing
- Printing and presentation–bringing your vision to life on paper
Evenings will be spent on group and individual critique sessions, printing demonstrations, and engaging discussions about identifying and expressing personal vision.
A specially designed hybrid darkroom will be available for developing film, scanning negatives, and downloading and processing digital files.
By the end of the workshop, you will have the tools and methodology you need to respond to your vision with confidence.
Choosing Your Session
The May session will find the Valley quieter than in the summer months, but with the falls starting to build, the river flowing and the ferns and other flora waking up. You'll spend plenty of time streamside as well as searching for the grand vistas and intimate details of Yosemite Valley.
October is "anything can happen" time in Yosemite. The falls will likely be nearly dry and the Merced River low and quiet, but the opportunities will still abound for everything from details to spectacular vistas. A day trip to the high country of Tioga Pass and over to Lee Vining and Mono Lake is planned to take advantage of the fall color.
These workshops are offered through the Ansel Adams Gallery. Fee is $1,250 for the week and lodging has been reserved in the Park for workshop participants.

Given that 16-year-old Shahaan Engineer was taking part in a series where the average age of the drivers participating was 22 and most had far more racing experience than the Mumbai-born rookie, taking part in the Toyota Racing Series was going to be an uphill task for Engineer.
So it is noteworthy that Engineer finished 13th in the points standing out of 21 drivers and just four positions behind Ferrari young driver Rafaelle Marciello, who has entered over double the 21 races that Engineer has taken part in so far.
Rectifying his lack of race experience was the chief concern of Engineer's manager and uncle Yohann Setna when he signed him up for the series that has produced a German Formula 3 champion and a host of GP3 Series winners.
"Shahaan was confident that he had the speed," Setna told HT. "But he needed experience and he got a lot of racing over the 15 races in a variety of race conditions."
Since it was his first year of racing cars (Engineer had only raced karts prior to late 2011), Setna set modest targets for his nephew. "Our goal was to finish in the top 15 and to finish as many races as possible," said Setna. "We got to 13th and scored points in all but one race so I am happy but Shahaan is not as he wants to win."
Engineer's eagerness to win will be put to the test, but not just yet says Setna who has signed him up to drive in the Formula Renault UK series this year. "First year of Renault is a learning year but the second year is about winning races," said Setna. "If you are not winning races by your second year of Formula Renault, then you need to re-evaluate your career as a single seater driver."
It's not all glamour for the Formula One drivers who endure demanding conditions while in the cockpit. They're subjected to incredible wear-and-tear. HT reveals their fitness regimens.

Love at First Ring
I-phones retail at $499 and up, the opportunity to heckle the Mayor for poor performance –PRICELESS.
He left his spot around 11:30 a.m., soon after a 22-year-old man sporting a mohawk asked him, "How can you sit here with 200 murders in the city already?"
The mayor replied: "I'm doing my job."
Street had planned to stay in line for most of the day, waiting for the cell phones to go on sale, though he said he would to step out to make some appearances. He returned to his spot briefly around 2 p.m., then again at about 4 p.m.

If Hinrich is really traded to Wizards, be afraid of Bulls
The Chicago Bulls have agreed to trade away Kirk Hinrich and the 17th pick in tonight's draft, according to ESPN.
The Chicago Bulls have a deal in place that would move Kirk Hinrich and the 17th pick to the Washington Wizards, freeing up enough cap space to pursue two maximum-salary players on this summer's free-agent market, sources with knowledge of the Bulls' plans said Thursday.
It wasn't immediately clear what Washington would send to Chicago in the trade.
The deal can't be officially consummated until July 8, when the Wizards will have room under the salary cap to absorb Hinrich's $9 million contract without having to send back anything of similar value.
Since it's a good-faith deal for the time being, there remains a chance it could fall apart. But according to one source, the Sacramento Kings are prepared to make a similar deal with the Bulls in the Wizards' stead if that were to happen.
Count me as officially afraid of the Bulls for next season. Take Derrick Rose, Joakim Noah, Luol Deng, Free Agent X, Free Agent Y and whatever the Bulls get from Washington, sprinkle Tom Thibodeau's defense on top of it and you've got yourselves a title contender. It's that easy.
There are also rumors of Chicago sending Deng to Orlando for Pietrus and Gortat, which doesn't seem to make sense for Chicago unless they're pretty sure they can sign a certain free agent small forward. And, for what it's worth, Jalen Rose reported via Twitter that Lebron ain't going back to Cleveland. Just keep in mind, 24 watchers, I'd rather trust David Palmer's wife Sherry than Jalen Rose's word about a rumor.
UPDATE: This deal doesn't quite clear space for two free agents. But the Bulls aren't done dealing, according to John Hollinger. Look for them to have cap space for two max guys when all is said and done.
One Response to "If Hinrich is really traded to Wizards, be afraid of Bulls"
I'm just going to outright say it, if James and Bosh come to Chicago, with a TT defense, they are the favorites to win it all.
