And the gourmet goods section hosts fine, finger-friendly apps and pairables, such as imported French Saint-André cheese ($14.99 per lb.), Cacciatore artisan salami ($18.99), chocolates, and dips, making customers want to hold back a few shillings in their satchels.

During the summer, diners can venture to the patio to soak up Mediterranean-style heat and embrace Hippocrates's famed practice of using greek yogurt as sunscreen.
Fresh Farms International Market showers its shoppers in grocered greatness, including organic produce, fresh meats and seafood, imported cheeses, and international breads. Tread toward the counter of fresh-caught seafood and reel in one of the market's aquatic edibles, such as wild octopus ($2.99/lb.), fresh flounder fillets ($9.99/lb.), or live lobster ($7.99/lb.).

Cheerful cheesemongers cater to customers' fancies for foreign fromage, including selections from cheese-making nations such as Bulgaria, Finland, Hungary, and Russia. Sink lactose-longing teeth into a Bulgarian feta ($2.99/lb.) or a block of Mountain Brand Swiss cheese ($3.99/lb.) whose neutrality is betrayed by its clear preference for deliciousness. The market's fresh produce includes California broccoli ($0.79/lb.) and Wisconsin dry yellow onions ($0.19/lb.), and its bustling bakery churns out French baguettes and Italian ciabatta rolls ready to be transformed into sandwiches or whittled into Earl of Sandwich action figures.
With more than 50 years under its belt, Minelli Meat and Deli constructs hearty sandwiches and complements savory bites with traditional Italian pastries for dessert. The deli counter flaunts large helpings of italian sausage ($3.79/lb.) and italian roast beef ($8.99/lb.) for patrons to take home and share with their families and displaced sasquatches. A fresh meatball sandwich ($5.50) harmonizes well with homemade soup ($2.99). Sub sandwiches can be stuffed with specialty prosciutto, genoa salami, corned beef, and various sliced cheeses (5" for $4). Homespun sweets such as cannoli, cream puffs, and cookies adequately prep sugar testers for midnight chess battles with the Sugar Plum Fairy ($1.50+).
The Burhop family keeps their fish markets stocked with just-caught, never-frozen goods. They do this by going right to the source?wholesale distributors in Alaska, Hawaii, New England, and as far away as Australia. Their connections with these distributors stretch over the course of Burhop's 88-year history, which started when Albert "Pops" Burhop founded a wholesale-seafood business in downtown Chicago. When locals started offering him money and moon rocks in exchange for the prized cuts of fish, Pops decided to cut out the middleman.
Today, they proudly report that many of their loyal customers are transplants from the East and West Coasts, where fresh seafood is easier to come by. Ironically, Burhop's gets fresher stuff than many stores on the coasts do, thanks to Chicago's central location, which enables quick shipping from all of America's shores. In the shop, customers can watch as the filleters skillfully ply their craft. Get to know your Burhop?s fish mongers! A series of online video tutorialss teach home chefs to prep mouthwatering lobster tails, soft shell crabs, tuna burgers, and more.

Goodby Welcomes Back NBA with 'Countdown'
Ah yes, the 2012-13 NBA regular season is almost upon us and to get things warmed up, Goodby Silverstein & Partners has unveiled the spot above called "Countdown," which is part of the agency's larger, ongoing campaign for the Association dubbed "BIG." The tick-tock syncs up well with the rituals of several players including Kevin Garnett, Kobe Bryant and Andre Iguodala, leaving us hyped enough for the Kia tip-off next week. Still, it remains to be seen if every hoopster in this cast will be healthy enough for opening night. Credits after the jump.

What I will be remembered for are the Foundation Trilogy and the Three Laws of Robotics. What I want to be remembered for is no one book, or no dozen books. Any single thing I have written can be paralleled or even surpassed by something someone else has done. However, my total corpus for quantity, quality and variety can be duplicated by no one else. That is what I want to be remembered for.Isaac Asimov
When it comes to the FCC, the Bush administration helped lay the foundation. But now, that foundation is being turned on. And I fear an event. I fear a Reichstag moment. God forbid, another 9/11. Something that will turn this machine on, and power will be seized and voices will be silenced. God help us all.Glenn Beck
The French philosopher Charron was one of the men least demoralised by party spirit, and least blinded by zeal for a cause. In a passage almost literally taken from St. Thomas, he describes our subordination under the law of nature, to which all legislation must conform; and he ascertains it not by the light of revealed religion, but by the voice of universal reason, through which God enlightens the consciences of men. Upon this foundation Grotius drew the lines of real political science. In gathering the materials of International law, he had to go beyond national treaties and denominational interests, for a principle embracing all mankind. The principles of law must stand, he said, even if we suppose that there is no God. By these inaccurate terms he meant that they must be found independently of Revelation. From that time it became possible to make politics a matter of principle and of conscience, so that men and nations differing in all other things could live in peace together, under the sanctions of a common law.John Dalberg-Acton, Lord Acton
The development of a country has to start at the foundation of the society, the "family".Begum Aga Khan
Our peasant music, naturally, is invariably tonal, if not always in the sense that the inflexible major and minor system is tonal. (An "atonal" folk-music, in my opinion, is unthinkable.) Since we depend upon a tonal basis of this kind in our creative work, it is quite self-evident that our works are quite pronouncedly tonal in type. I must admit, however, that there was a time when I thought I was approaching a species of twelve-tone music. Yet even in works of that period the absolute tonal foundation is unmistakable.Bla Bartk
If you search the scientific literature on evolution, and if you focus your search on the question of how molecular machinesthe basis of lifedeveloped, you find an eerie and complete silence. The complexity of lifes foundation has paralyzed sciences attempt to account for it; molecular machines raise an as-yet-impenetrable barrier to Darwinisms universal reach.Michael J. Behe
As part of the spring ritual of National Poetry Month, poets are symbolically dragged into the public square in order to be humiliated with the claim that their product has not achieved sufficient market penetration and must be revived by the Artificial Resuscitation Foundation (ARF) lest the art form collapse from its own incompetence, irrelevance, and as a result of the general disinterest among the broad masses of the American People. The motto of ARF's National Poetry Month is: "Poetry's not so bad, really."Charles Bernstein
Priestley was the first (unless it was Beccaria) who taught my lips to pronounce this sacred truth that the greatest happiness of the greatest number is the foundation of morals and legislation.Jeremy Bentham
The scientific world is to be less threatening than was feared. It is to made safe for human beings. And the way to make it safe is to reflect on the foundation of knowledge.Simon Blackburn
I started about five years ago when I did a hospital visit and was shocked at what a huge difference the [Starlight Children's Foundation] makes for not only these children but also their families, who are also affected. I consider family one of the most important aspects of life, because at the end of the day your family is who is always going to be there for you. When it comes to these children, their family is all they have because some of them never get to leave the hospital.Corbin Bleu Reivers
The great extension of our experience in recent years has brought light to the insufficiency of our simple mechanical conceptions and, as a consequence, has shaken the foundation on which the customary interpretation of observation was based.Niels Henrik David Bohr
Verbitsky is a servant of the United States. He receives a salary form the Ford Foundation, and in addition to being a Jew, is totally pro-North American.Hebe de Bonafini
because we're a Christian nation, because our foundation and our roots are Judeo-Christian ... and the enemy is a guy named Satan.William G. Boykin
At the foundation of our civil liberty lies the principle which denies to government officials an exceptional position before the law and which subjects them to the same rules of conduct that are commands to the citizen.Louis Dembitz Brandeis
Doubt fucks everything. Take a foundation, no matter how strong, sprinkle generously with doubt, and watch it crumble. Me? I'm unfuckwithable. Not this knee, not bad weather, and certainly not the many men that wish bad intentions on me can stop me. I rise up, not like a phoenix, but like the zombie corpse of Dick Murdoch. This brainbuster is for you.Phil Brooks

Lifeguards along the 42-mile coastline in Orange County were busy throughout the holiday weekend, as big waves, strong rip currents, and end-of-summer crowds flocked to the beach.
Thousands were rescued at the major beaches along the coastline, with everything from dislocated shoulders to cervical injuries – but most of the rescues came from strong rip currents that pulled people into dangerous situations.
Rescuers on Monday afternoon called off their search for a swimmer who went missing off Salt Creek Beach on Sunday. Efforts were being made Tuesday to find the body of the 34-year-old man, identified as Frank Daniel Austin, 34, of Rowland Heights. Read the full story here.
One of the more dramatic rescues happened about 11 a.m. on Sunday at Huntington City Beach. A fisherman jumped off the pier – fully clothed down to his tennis shoes – and clung to the barnacle-covered pier piling before an off-duty lifeguard surfing out in the area saw him.
The lifeguard, Tony Morelli, reached the man and put him on his surfboard while the rescue boat was on its way.
On the lifeguard boat, Marine Safety Officer Mike Bartlett arrived with rescuers, and just as they were pulling the man into the boat, Tower 0 on the pier called in with a warning that a big set was on its way.
"The sets were feathering, probably one of the biggest sets of the day, over 10 foot," Bartlett said. "There's no question in my mind that that fisherman would not have survived that set."
Bartlett also credited Morelli, the rookie lifeguard, for acting fast, and said there's no question that he saved the man's life.
The fisherman told lifeguards that he jumped off the pier because he got too hot. When Huntington Beach police officers greeted him on the sand to give him a citation for jumping off the pier, they ran his records – which showed an arrest warrant – and he was taken into custody.
"We were very fortunate. We have so many people who come here who aren't good swimmers to begin with, or don't know how to swim at all," Bartlett said. "We do so much prevention, and try to go early and be preventive. We did a lot of really big mass rescues, we got really lucky."
In Newport Beach, one of the big rescues came when a teenage boy was stuck in 10-foot waves and a rescue boat had to pull him out and get him to safety on the pier. There was also a big rescue with a rip current on Sunday at about 6 p.m., with several victims being pulled out to sea. That rescue lasted 22 minutes, compared to most rescues that only take three to four minutes, said Newport lifeguard chief Jim Turner.
Each agency tallies their stats a bit different, but here are figures on rescues and preventive actions from the three-day Labor Day holiday weekend from the major beaches along the O.C. coastline:

Three Women, One Tournament: WSOPC Makes Poker History In Palm Beach
Event #2 at this year's World Series of Poker Circuit stop at the Palm Beach Kennel Club may well have made poker history. It wasn't even the biggest event held that day, but it did feature a poker first: women took the top three spots in a non-gender-exclusive World Series Of Poker event. New Yorker poker pro Loni Harwood finished first, followed by Anne Amato and Amanda Musumeci. What's even more unusual is the fact as they were sliding making their way into poker history, the final stages of the $1,000,000 Guaranteed event that kicked off the tournament were going down a few feet away.
Reports say that the evening was a real corker, with an atmosphere that was miles away from the usual casino reserve. Players were buying each other drinks, observers were cheering and everyone was having a great time, proving that even with money on the line, poker players remember that the game is all about fun.
Harwood, who graduated from State University of New York at Albany last year with a degree in finance is 22. The aspiring poker pro was in Florida visiting her father, who lives in Hallandale. She discovered the WSOP Circuit was being played in West Palm Beach and decided to pay a visit. The rest, as the cliché goes, is history. Third-palcer Amanda Musumeci, who hails from Philadelphia is best known for finishing 62nd in least year's WSOP Main Event. Runner-up Anne Amato is also an accomplished tournament chess player.
With the gender imbalance in the game, the odds of this happening again anytime soon are pretty, pretty grim, but who knows? Maybe more women will be inspired to hit the tables when they see they can do just what the guys do.
Gender doesn't matter at Bovada's online poker tables!

High Performance Car Insurance
Finding high performance car insurance can be difficult. These vehicles require a unique and specific type of cover because of their high specifications, power and values. As a result of this, the number of insurance companies that offer high performance car insurance is thin on the ground. Because they are beautiful, desirable cars, they are perceived as higher risk and therefore the insurance premiums are higher.
That's why Sky Insurance has developed a specialist performance car insurance scheme with our underwriters. This means we can offer very competitive rates on performance car insurance.
These policies are 'tailor-made' to reflect the requirements of owners of performance cars. We also have a knowledgeable team of staff who are experienced in insuring performance cars. This makes us the performance car insurance experts.
Key Points of Performance Car Insurance Policies
- 'Like for Like' Modifications Covered
- Young Driver Friendly (aged 19 or over with 2 years driving exp.)
- Limited Mileage Discounts
- 2nd Car Discounts
- Specialist Performance Car Insurance Team
- UK based company - no call centres
- Modified Vehicles covered
- Breakdown Cover available
Get a Quote with Sky Insurance
At Sky Insurance we are proud to be able to cover the gap in the market and offer you performance car insurance at a competitive rate. Whether you're looking for modified car insurance, imported insurance or simply standard cover, such as BMW insurance, Sky Insurance will be able to design the policy perfect for you. To get in contact, whether you have questions about our cover or you would like a quote, then call us on 03303 331 250 or click "request a call back".
EVO Magazine & Sky Insurance Affiliation
Sky Insurance are proud to announce that we are now affiliated with Evo Magazine 'the world's premier performance car magazine'. We welcome enquiries from Evo readers and have High Performance Car Insurance and High Value Car Insurance Schemes in place to offer very competitive rates and tailored cover to meet the needs of these customers.
Evo Magazine & Forum
Sky Insurance are now proudly sponsoring the Insurance Section on Evo Magazine Community Forum. Also, a Sky Insurance featured advertisement in this month's edition of Evo magazine 'It Takes One To Know One' highlights our commitment to the Specialist & Performance Car Insurance market. See the full article below.
Car insurance can be a nightmare. Particularly if you own a high-performance or modified car, or a Japanese import. Suddenly the 'wonder' of online insurance comparison sites turns to frustration: your car isn't listed, there's no facility to detail its modifications, and the quote you're given isn't the bargain you'd been expecting. And as for talking to a clued-up human being on the end of a phone line, forget it...
Wouldn't it be nice to find a car insurer who's actually on your wavelength, who genuinely understands what it is you're looking to insure and can generate the right policy for it? That's what David Watson and Jae Pearse set out to create when they refocused the direction of their company, Sky Insurance, ten years ago, having previously run it as a chain of high street insurance brokers.
As Jae explains: "Sky took the decision not to use the fashionable methods of price comparison sites and call centres.
"We wanted to remain true to our roots and continue to offer our services to drivers who were not looking for the 'stack it high, sell it cheap' approach, and preferred brokers who were focused as much on service as they are on price. Our policies appeal to drivers with more complex insurance needs – whether their vehicle has lots of modifications or is a high-performance car, or whether they just want to speak to an insurance professional who could add value to the process of buying insurance."
The key to Sky's empathetic approach is that the whole team are car enthusiasts – between the team members Ollie Frost, Chris Mann, Luke Tillbrook and Alex Kinrade, they own or have owned everything from a Lancia Delta HF Integrale, Mitsubishi Lancer Evo IV and Nissan 350Z to a Toyota Celica GT4 WrC, Subaru Impreza Turbo, Nissan Skyline and even a Turbo Technics Peugeot 205 GTI, amongst many others. And all the team are regular attendees at trackdays and car club meets and events, sharing the same passions as their customers and proving that Sky doesn't just talk the talk.
Further evidence of Sky's zeal for all things quick and automotive is the company's five- year sponsorship of Driftworks – the UK and Europe's number one drifting team. And right now, Sky are also running a competition to win an Ariel Atom Driving Experience. This is your chance to hurtle around sideways in a car with the power-to-weight ratio of a Bugatti Veyron – simply visit www.skyinsurance. co.uk/blog/2013/01/ariel-atom-experience- competition/ to enter.
Thanks to their intimate knowledge of the market, the Sky team are able to produce tailor- made policies, not just for individual cars, but for fleets, too, whether they're company cars or your private collection. And the company can provide trackday cover, like for like modification cover and agreed valuations.
Sky does good business with UK car clubs, too, and has a dedicated car club team – car club members receive discounts on their premiums because, as Ollie explains, "members of car clubs are generally car enthusiasts who take pride and care with their cars, which when it comes to car insurance, is music to our ears".
As tends to be the way with companies that offer great customer service, 85 per cent of Sky's business comes from word of mouth. "Best policy, best price, best service (Sky's strapline) is not a boast," reveals Ollie Frost. "It's the benchmark that we set ourselves. We believed that if we were to grow the business based on customer recommendations alone, then this was the benchmark we had to strive to reach."
So, has Sky Insurance achieved that self- imposed benchmark? There's only one sure-fire way to find out...

Burnt Out Porsche
Sky Insurance would like to thank Ferdinand Magazine reader Ciaran Challis for granting his permission to reproduce this image. The car pictured is a 1971 2.2T which was Ciaran's pride and joy before he took an overseas job and stored the car to await his return. Unfortunately disaster struck and the factory building in which it was stored burnt down. In Ciaran's own words:
"I'd owned the car for about four years when I took a job in Australia. I had no intention of selling the car but had no idea how long I would be away, so I stored the car. Unfortunately the building where it was stored burnt down. I learnt the hard way that even when you are not using your pride and joy regularly it still pays to have it properly insured."
We have been insuring cars for many years and our knowledge and experience could be very beneficial in placing your vehicle under the right cover at the right price. If you are only at the stage of considering buying a high performance vehicle, it is a very good idea to find out about the insurance prior to purchasing the car. Due to the high values involved, it can be difficult or very expensive to place certain risks with an insurance company - fortunately our specialist insurance scheme tries to cover this gap in the market. Feel free to call us for any advice on this matter.
Performance Car Insurance - The Main Insurance Issues
Due to the high specifications, high values and the power of most performance cars, even the smallest of accidents can spirral into a very expensive claim. The fact that the cars are very highly rated and admired, also makes them a higher risk where theft is concerned. There are several things that could have a positive effect on your performance car insurance premium and are often recommended or required by the insurer;
- Adding a tracker device
- Keep the car secure overnight in a garage
- Limit mileage policy
- Increased Excess
Why does Sky Insurance like Performance Cars when other insurers do not? Generally speaking we find that Performance Cars are owned by car enthusiasts who are passionate about and take care of their car, more so than the average driver. From experience, we find that genuine car enthusiasts are less likely to have an insurance claim as they tend to be more careful with their cars. With this research and evidence, we have been able to negotiated a specialist insurance scheme for Performance Car Insurance with excellent rates and cover. Contact us for a quotation today.

Biotech Stocks: A Year in Review
TheStreet) -- Known for its above-average risk and steel-nerved investors, the biotech sector has piled up year-to-date gains of close to 52% -- one of 2013's best-performing areas of the market. That's even with a slight pullback since the summer.
Let's review the year in biotech.
My first takeaway from 2013 is this industry didn't see many merger and acquisition announcements, at least not relative to the past two years. Amgen (AMGN) completed a $10.4 billion deal for Onyx Pharmaceuticals, a disappointing move that was pretty much it for biotech M&A this year. This was despite the fact that many experts noted how primed Teva Pharmaceuticals (TEVA) was for a takeover.
It's possible most mergers are being postponed for 2014, including the much-rumored deal between AstraZeneca
(AZN) and Forest Laboratories
(FRX). It's also possible that management of these companies are beginning to alter their prescriptions for growth. We shall see.
This year, 2013, will go down as the year when the biotech sector -- with around 220 new publicly traded companies -- emerged from relative obscurity to raising almost $50 billion in investment capital.
The market hasn't been flooded with this much interest in biotech IPOs since 2004.
Now I'm not going to venture into the so-called "doom-and-gloom" territory. But the Renaissance IPO (IPO) exchange-traded fund, which tracks several biotech stocks, has posted a roughly 50% gain. I have to ask: What reasonable level of outperformance will there be in 2014? All the stocks can't be winners.
I'm not suggesting these companies are doomed to fail. But I would caution investors about riding the wave of all of this IPO enthusiasm. Many lockup expirations have yet to arrive, so insiders might still flood the market with shares when they are finally allowed to sell. You don't want to be the one caught holding the bag.
Another way to play the demand would be to diversify some capital into, say, Novo Nordisk (NVO), the largest biotech name on the market according to market cap. With gains of (only) 8% on the year, I believe Novo can be a relative outperformer in 2014. While Novo may not be cheap relative to Amgen, you would be hard pressed to find a safer bet from a margin and profitability perspective.

A Thief By Any Other Name
Whenever there's a high-profile crime it's only a matter of time before someone belittles the victim. That's what seems to be shaping up in the Justice Department's indictment of file-sharing behemoth Megaupload on charges of massive copyright infringement. Stuart P. Green, a Rutgers Law School Professor blogging in the New York Times, writes "Whatever wrongs Megaupload has committed, it's doubtful that theft is among them."
Unless Green has a better word for it, I'm sticking with theft.
He argues that the complexities of modern intellectual property law have obscured the simplistic legal standards by which theft is measured. Those standards were set in 1962 when the American Law Institute issued the Model Penal Code defining property as "anything of value." "Henceforth," says Green, "it would no longer matter whether the property misappropriated was tangible or intangible, real or personal, a good or a service. All of these things were now to be treated uniformly."
Green's beef with the Institute's definition is that contemporary media and services like the Internet blur moral and legal principles. "We should stop trying to shoehorn the 21st-century problem of illegal downloading into a moral and legal regime that was developed with a pre- or mid-20th-century economy in mind. His authority? "Lay observers draw a sharp moral distinction between file sharing and genuine theft, even when the value of the property is the same."
We don't know who these "lay observers" are, but they don't seem to have spent much time speaking to victims. If they had, they might have heard something like this from an author: "If I was in a bookstore, would I just drop this book in my purse and walk out of the store? Because that is exactly what you are doing when you download a book without buying it." (See Are Downloaders Better Than Muggers?)
The subtle intricacies of modern life make it easy to rationalize crimes like stealing and call them something else. But calling theft a non-crime doesn't make it a non-crime. Green may have many other words for the deed (the book that he and a social psychologist are writing is called 13 Ways to Steal a Bicycle: Theft Law in the Information Age). But for victims there's only one way to say it: "I've been robbed."
Judge for yourself: When Stealing Isn't Stealing by Stuart P. Green.

How about taking a few moments to consider exactly what the "sellers" of ebooks are doing. They charge prices that are simply unjustified in light of distribution costs and pay the author far less than what would be reasonable for the only participant in the process who has made a worthwhile contribution. In return the buyer only receives a very limited right of access to what they pay a very high price for. They don't "own" the e-book since they cannot resell it, they can't give it away, they typically can't read it on another device, they can't make a backup copy, they typically can't recover it if lost. Hell, I'm surprised we're actually allowed to read the damn things without accruing daily usage fees…Dave

Okay. We know you don't need $12 million to retire, but how much do you need?
Have you ever wondered about this but don't know how to go about it? Here is some help that the folks at GoBankingRates help put together. The first chart assumes that you will be withdrawing $100,000 every year in today's dollars, and that inflation will be 2.5% (that's why the later you retire, the more you actually need because if you wait till next year to start withdrawing, you will need $102,500 to have the same purchasing power).
To keep things simple, there's an assumption that you will be withdrawing the same amount every year. It's not the most accurate assumption since this changes as your needs change but if you've never calculated how much you need to retire, this is a good number to start off with.
Note that in reality, inflation will likely be higher than the assumption of 2.5% a year, so view these numbers as the bare minimum. The chart also assumes a 6.5% return on your investments, and an average depletion of all your money at age 105, so if you believe your situation is different, then make adjustments from there.
Let me stop typing, because the charts and graphs below are much more interesting. Find out how much you know about retirement planning and see if your plan is ready for prime time.

When I was waiting for the book to come out and going through the course I was was thinking that is would be almost a repeat of information. I must say this book was a thousand times beyond my expectations. Your persistent acknowledgment of specific scripture along with other resources and connections to satan's agenda are crystal clear. I'm excited about this book and the eyes it will open, the souls it will bring to our Heavenly Father through knowing and accepting Jesus, and the victims that will be saved. I have been inspired to pray more along the lines of eye opening in the church and unveiling of these dark things. I was never taught anything concerning spiritual warfare and I'm just know scratching the surface. I don't remember how I stumbled on your website, but I do know that is was by the hand of God. I wish more of us could be soldiers for Him. I'm trying." ANOTHER FRIEND WRITES:... More > "Hi Russ, I just finished your book this afternoon. Tremedous!!

PSU president says school can help abuse survivors
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) — Penn State president Rodney Erickson says the university can help in the recovery process for child sex abuse survivors through teaching, research and service.
He has outlined ways Monday of how the school is reaching out at the school's inaugural conference on child sexual abuse.
Erickson says the origins of the conference go back a year, after the arrest of retired assistant coach Jerry Sandusky on abuse charges plunged Penn State into scandal.
Erickson says the conference is one way the school is moving forward, and that it's time to tackle what he calls an "insidious" epidemic issue.
Experts say cases of abuse are underreported.
Retired boxing great Sugar Ray Leonard is the featured speaker later Monday, the first full day of the conference. Leonard is an abuse survivor.

Predators reduce state deer population
SALISBURY—The prints in the snow told the story when state biologists went looking for a radio-collared fawn that had stopped moving in November in Cornwall. The lack of movement was an indication that it had died.
Indeed, it proved to be the most recent of 19 fawns tracked since birth in the towns of Cornwall and Canaan this year to be eaten by a predator. The villain this time was a bobcat.

To sell to restaurants and over kill just for the heads. Please get the story right. There is not enough game wardens to watch or reach the poachers in time to catch them. Also count the turkeys in this area who are also poached to be stuffed not for holidays but to sit in there homes. The poachers killed our buck and it took eight Years before I ever saw any fawns again including seeing baby turkeys. Find the real reason not what is thought to be the reason. "

ULM Celebrates Black History Month | Southern Education Desk
3:34 minutes (6.53 MB) Download
February is Black History Month, and universities across the South are marking it with lessons and events.
Faculty and students at the University of Louisiana at Monroe are contributing to the nationwide observance. And those connected with the events say there is no better time than the present to learn about Black History.
|Louis Nabors tunes up for a Black History Month performance; LaDonald Ensley accompanies on piano.
Associate professor of music, Louis Nabors, practices a song with historical significance for African-Americans.Nabors says Black History month serves as a valuable educational tool.
"I am a child of the South. And, so of course, I have lived through a lot of the things that Black History tries to make us recognize and appreciate – maybe not enjoy, but understand from where we came from slavery to this point where we are now."
Nabors says Black History Month offers powerful lessons, as well as a lens into the not very distant past.
"White only bathrooms to where you couldn't go into the front door in my hometown and eat in the café. They had a little back room that the blacks went into to eat."
Nabors will perform at ULM as part of Black History Month Celebrations.
Pulitzer Prize winning photo-journalist, Irwin Thompson graduated from ULM in 1984.
He will also participate in the historical marker, speaking to students about his work.
Thompson emphasizes education as the key component of Black History Month.
"I'm an African-American and I'm proud and I'm extremely blessed to be where I am. I think that any race can be all they can be if they have great parents and they educate them at the beginning of their lives and you basically stay out of trouble."
ULM professor, Jeffrey Anderson, teaches African-American history.
He says a new generation of students now has an opportunity to delve into a complex component of the nation's past.
"The African-American community of the past is a full, rounded community that did go through a great deal of hardships. But it wasn't defined solely by the hardships, whether it's slavery or Jim Crow laws, that instead the community survived – in certain ways, perhaps even thrived and continued to develop a unique culture."
ULM's Vice President for Student Affairs, Dr. Wayne Brumfield, calls the celebration of Black History Month a continually unfolding process.
"People who don't remember their history are condemned to repeat it. And so I think that state of history – the evolution of African-Americans in the United States is great and I think it's going to continue to blossom as historians find and write more books about these contributions and those tidbits that have been lost.
Professor Anderson says Black History Month offers a chance for people to gain a new respect for the African-American struggle for equality.
"I really hope that people will take away from it the value of the history of a group of people, and that even though the history you might see focused on the Civil Rights movement might not be something that you would identify with, that even if you don't have the direct personal connection to it, you can still appreciate what it means for those who did have that personal connection – that you can really identify with it, even if it's not your history."
A government website lists a series of National Black History Month celebrations at the National Gallery of Art, the Smithsonian Institution and the Library of Congress.
The events will recognize African-American contributions in poetry, art and military service.

Vacuum Filters
Did you know that filters that are clogged may severely impact your vacuum cleaner's performance? They help maintain strong suction and also help pick up dirt effectively. It is important to replace your filter every six to 12 months depending on the brand and you cleaning frequency. The various types of filters include exhaust filters, air inlet filters, motor filters and HEPA filters. You need to follow the recommendations for filter replacement based on the cleaning system brand. HEPA filters are the best option for allergy sufferers because they are designed to remove fine particles from the air including mold spores, smoke, dust and mites. It is recommended that you change the filter of your cleaning system outside your home to prevent re-release of spores and dust to the air in your home.

Fred Stein, German American photographer represented by Lebrecht Music & Arts, has his first major German retrospective exhibition opening in Berlin at the Jewish Museum on 22nd November. He fled Germany in 1933 and became an outstanding photographer of street scenes and famous people in Paris of the 1930s and New York from the 1940s onwards.
Fred Stein was born in Dresden in 1909, and had intended to become a lawyer after studying law in Leipzig. He only became a professional photographer after fleeing the Nazis. Luckily his hobby was photography, and during his legal traineeship he used a 35 mm Leica camera, which he and his wife had bought themselves as a wedding gift.
As the Nazis became more powerful, Stein became an outcast in two senses: as a Jew and as a politically active socialist. In October 1933, he and his wife, Liselotte, managed to reach Paris under the pretext of a honeymoon trip. They had no plans to return to Germany.
Fountain, Paris, 1935. CLICK HERE for more Paris images.
Once in France, Stein found himself in an unknown land with a strange language. Since he couldn't find work as a lawyer he was compelled to find another career. His choice: photography. Although he was really little more than a dedicated amateur, it wasn't long before he started a business and opened Studio Fred Stein in a small apartment whose bathroom doubled as a darkroom.
Stein discovered Paris through the camera lens. The same thing would happen later in New York, where he, his wife and their young daughter fled in 1941, and where he died in 1967. In both places, he captured everyday scenes full of odd and subtly melancholy moments.
Parade, New York, 1946. CLICK HERE for more New York images.
In New York, he also worked with a medium-format Rolleiflex camera. He photographed politicians and writers, musicians, thinkers and artists, including Salvador Dalí, Marc Chagall, Willem de Kooning, Hannah Arendt, Andre Kertesz, Otto Dix, Hermann Hesse, Albert Einstein, Indira Ghandi, Arthur Koestler, S J Perelman, Langston Hughes, David Ben-Gurion, André Gide, Anais Nin, Dr Benjamin Spock, Moss Hart, Fidel Castro, Dorothy Parker, Adlai Stevenson, Georgia O'Keefe and Walter Gropius.

This vegetarian stalwart has hardly changed in 40 years. Is that a good thing? Students, artists, tourists and faithful vegetarians head down the narrow stairs to the basement to be greeted by the same 1970s pine furniture, cramped seating and probably almost the same menu: a vegetable curry or similar, quiche, soup and salad. That's precisely what keeps devotees returning: guaranteed cheap, hearty food in a convivial setting (you'll almost certainly be sharing your space with a total stranger). The meal-deals of soup and a salad for £7.20 or a hot dish and salad for £8.40 aren't, however, quite the bargain they once were. Desserts are of the gut-busting variety yet nonetheless very good – leave plenty of room for the apple and plum crumble. Small gripes: the food isn't always piping hot; the flavours aren't especially exciting; and this is not a place to hang around and chat. That said, if it ain't broke… Takeaway is available on the ground floor.

I have been to this place many times but I am not going back to it. I have been too many times let down by the quality of food and the service. Plus it is not so pleasant to sit in the basement with no windows for lunch.
Fabulous and convenient, fast food at a fast, more affordable price in a hot area. Recommended. Bring cash.
I love the food and I love the place. Generous portions, good value for money and you get a table faster than at a normal restaurant. I have visited many times in the last 10-15 years and always had good food. Great puddings as well.
I love this place - its not fancy, but it has good, hearty food, lovely free water with lemone, wonderful soup and home-made bread, salads selection and always a choice of tasty main course. There is even a hefty desert available, juice/ coffee/ tea. It is very small, but people are always ready to make room for you. It is a god send after a day of shopping in covent garden.
bland food and poorly presented. Also, no real room for eating-in comfortably. Very poor!!
The staff are just the most ignorant people I've come across in London. Customer Service is none-existent. The older bloke just kind of grunts and is not the least bit bothered about being even slightly helpful. I bought a takeaway but decided to throw it away after the bad vibe I got from the staff.
this place is beautiful - downstairs into basement, queue, order, grab a table or squeeze in on one, eat super tasty healthy good food, help yourself to water on the table. Not for lingering lunches, unless you do a late lunch and it's quietened down.
So yummy... The permanent queue speaks for it. One of the best vegetarian places in London. Not good if you want a calm environment to sit down for a meal, but if you want a quick, cheap and extremely tasty meal in Central London, it is unbeatable.

FBX Done Easy, FBX Done Right
"Data Driven Thinking" is written by members of the media community and contains fresh ideas on the digital revolution in media.
Today's column is by Gurman Hundal, cofounder of Media iQ Digital, a performance trading specialists.
I have always thought when something becomes too easy or too difficult, it will soon change and evolve in one way or another. It's how we work as humans; We simplify the complex, and evolve the simple to better fit our personal or business objectives. Facebook Exchange is a great example of Facebook taking the "far too easy'" and evolving it to better suit both its own objectives and those of its clients. This now begs the question: How do we maximize on the strengths of FBX to optimize performance?
Back in the days of traditional ad networks, I remember the exceptional results campaigns could achieve through Facebook's standard display media. Within a few weeks across a number of campaigns, it was clear to the entire sector that the best performing placements were Facebook display. Then a few years later Facebook shook the industry out of its relaxed, reclining position by stopping the standard display units. As you can imagine there were some unhappy faces, mine included. Why did Facebook do this? Because it was far too easy to deliver performance on a high-reach site based on a standardized Attribution and Measurement model (i.e. last view/click wins). As with all "easy" scenarios, it evolved.
Now we have moved into an era of immense technology innovation; the market is presented with a genuine opportunity to position digital as the lead execution and marketing channel for clients. With this advanced technology in hand, the easiest mistake we can make is to not leverage these tools to also innovate in the field of Trading and Analysis; the other pillar of digital display.
FBX presents a real opportunity to combine the benefits of programmatic buying through first and third party audience data, with social targeting to enhance brand awareness and grow consumer bases for clients.
The market still uses the same attribution and measurement model that emerged over a decade ago, a somewhat shocking fact, but this shouldn't mean clients have to use Facebook in the same way. If you run on FBX with an image-and-text ad unit, incorporating last view with no measurement strategy, it is likely to outperform other media channels by a considerable margin. Add into the mix retargeting and post-view, and you can expect more than 40% of conversion attribution falling on Facebook. But this is not a smart approach to trading, nor to analysis, on FBX. It's taking the easy route to justify budgets. It will pay off in the short term, but in the long run will become a barrier to innovation and growth in our sector. Therefore when you hear "FBX is killing it," ask the question what is the attribution and measurement model behind this, and what trading tactics were deployed to deliver this success?
I would advise running FBX as a separate display/social channel and plugging this into a broader attribution model, which has a sophisticated statistical score, customized to the client. With the substantial data you can overlay (for both buying and analytics purposes), the breadth of data you can dive into can create actionable Insights for clients. Looking at click-based conversion data further up the conversion path, and audience insights off the back of this, is also an area I recommend exploring. The measurement piece is challenging and is still a gap I look forward to seeing many companies building differentials from. I can see in the very near future sophisticated trading tactics being deployed on FBX and effectively helping it make the impact required on client campaigns.
Just as Facebook standard display went through a rapid evolution, Facebook Exchange will undergo continuous change. We are seeing a shift towards Innovation in trading and analysis -- one that I look forward to seeing further explored as a refining layer to this important marketplace.

Well said! Attribution methodology is where the smoke and mirrors would most likely be located in conversations about FBX performance. If attribution needs fixing (and it does!) it is ironic that FB is probably in the best position to do so: their user base is large, cookieless tracking and tracking across devices. it seems though that the more they move towards becoming a media-seller, the weaker their position as an attribution solution becomes...in theory, you don't want the person selling you media also telling you how its performing.
Why not just set a shorter view-through attribution window (2-4 days), that way you aren't attributing 40% of your conversions to FBX?
I don't think that shortening your attribution window would necessarily solve the problem:
- your purchase cycle may be longer than 2 - 4 days
- it's likely that users will log into FB at least once every 2 - 4 days. it's possible that you'll win a bid against the user at least once per session. the view through window would renew every time a new ad was shown
I agree with you completely on that point. Currently I am testing only firing a view-through pixel upon someone coming in from direct type-in or branded search term traffic. Of course there may be a lift in conversions across other mediums because of my display ads and I can look at that lift separately. However the thought process is that view-through in the direct sense should be able to be isolated to direct type-in and branded search traffic.

Almond Joy
I took a slightly different route on my walk today and found this beautiful almond tree. It doesn't appear to be on private property…
I helped a family harvest almonds in Mallorca one summer during college. Large nets are laid at the foot of the trees and then each tree limb is beaten with a long cane until it drops all of its fruit. The fruits, which look like green apricots, have to be peeled, and the the nut is dried in the sun. My host said that she used the almonds to make marzipan, though I never got to taste it.

Lorenzo Dow Turner (1890-1972) was an African American academic and linguist who did seminal research on the Gullah language of the Low Country of coastal South Carolina and Georgia. His studies included recordings of Gullah speakers in the 1930s. He taught at Howard University and Fisk University, created the African Studies curriculum at Fisk, served as chair of the African Studies Program at Roosevelt University in Chicago, and co-founded a training program for Peace Corps volunteers going to Africa.
|Lorenzo Dow Turner
Writings include typescripts on Gullah texts and the Sea-Island dialect of South Carolina, writings on African culture, and notebooks and gathered pages with an envelope marked "original of stories and proverbs in the Yoruba." Also present is the text of an address given by Ambassador S.O. Adeba, Permanent Representative of Nigeria to the United Nations, at Roosevelt University in April 1966 and a copy of Turner's dissertation on "Anti-Slavery Sentiment in American Literature Prior to 1865." Additional papers include an invitation to a series of lectures given by Turner at Roosevelt University, news clippings, a draft of a Turner's report on his research conducted on a Fulbright Scholarship in 1951, a hand script chart listing the importation of Africans into South Carolina for 1733-1807 by region of origin, and worksheets used for the Linguistic Atlas of the United States and Canada, compiled by Hans Kurath.

Knoxville, TN (WVLT) - The US Postal Service has announced new plans to consolidate or close 223 mail processing plants.
There are 35,000 jobs at stake starting in late May or June.
The processing plant consolidations would save 2.1 billion dollars and are part of the agency's broader effort to save 20 billion dollars in the next three years.
The postal service is in debt due to declining first class mail volumes and a congressional mandate to refund retirement health care benefits.
In Tennessee, the processing centers in Chattanooga, Jackson, and Johnson City will all close. The Johnson city work will move to Knoxville.

Wausau Man Arrested After Roll Over Crash
Submitted: 10/04/2012
- A 22-year-old Wausau man was arrested Thursday after police found a stolen gun and drug paraphernalia in his car.
According to Wausau police, Pao G. Vang was driving down S. 3rd Avenue when he crashed a parked car, causing him to flip over.
No one was hurt.
Police found two 9mm handguns inside Vang's car along with a meth pipe, said Wausau Deputy Police Chief Bryan Hilts. One of the guns had been reported stolen.
"It's unusual to have a roll over type accident in the city because the speed limit in the city and the speeds vehicles tend to travel," Hilts said.
The speed limit is 25 miles per hour where Vang crashed.
He was likely speeding and may have been under the influence of drugs.
Vang is a convicted felon.
He is currently being held in the Marathon County Jail.

The most practiced students at YogAsylum are not the ones who can touch their toes—they're the ones who know how far they can safely reach. Fueled by the belief that yoga is an individual experience, the instructors prioritize personal exploration of physical limits over competition. They put this principle into action while leading classes that accommodate guests of any experience level and cover styles such as Ashtanga, Vinyasa, and Hatha. Using provided props, bolsters, and blankets, they help students ease their bodies into more challenging poses. Because they advocate a holistic approach to spiritual health, they offer more than drop-in classes—they provide energy healing and spiritual counseling in addition to therapeutic massage in their wellness center. They also hold musical events, special workshops, and a registered Yoga Alliance teacher training program that has been approved by the Wisconsin Educational Approval Board.
YogAsylum is one of the largest studios in Wisconsin, and was built from scratch to incorporate eco-friendly principles and elements of feng shui. Its cork floors diminish joint discomfort in students stretching beneath energy-efficient bulbs, and movable walls can easily resize the space to accommodate bigger groups and alter the difficulty of life-size games of Pong.
With its half-timber historical façade, Arriba Mexican Restaurant & Lounge wouldn't be out of place in an Alpine ski village. But step inside and the space practically glows with south-of-the-border charm: walls are swathed in warm magenta and yellow hues, and the original tin ceilings are gilded in gold.
The pleasant incongruity extends to Arriba's menu, which landed the eatery the No. 10 spot on CityVoter's 2011 list of best Mexican restaurants. Traditional Mexican cuisine, such as shrimp fajitas and deep-fried chimichangas stuffed with housemade chorizo, takes center stage, but the restaurant also hosts Friday fish fries and serves thick burgers piled with southwestern toppings such as chorizo and guacamole.
Arriba's adjacent lounge hosts live music, potlucks, and open mics. Here, guests can sip libations from a vast drink menu that features 18 varieties of tequila, seven flavored martinis, and precisely one flavor of water.
In 1947, on New York City's Park Avenue, the first Fred Astaire Dance Studio—cofounded by the eponymous toe tapper himself—opened its doors to the public. More than six decades later, now boasting schools across North America, the dancing institution still adheres to the legendary Mr. Astaire's curriculum and instruction techniques.
Specializing in social ballroom and competitive dances, the schools' current consortium of professional instructors shepherds students of all ages and skill levels through dance lessons that span from classic ballroom and foxtrot romps to the modern steps of salsa, swing, or mambo. In addition to classes, the studio hosts social practice parties where up to 40 students hone newly acquired rug-cutting capabilities. As foot-charming music blares from the speakers, instructors work to cultivate a lively social setting where each guest can dance, mingle, and surgically correct their second left foot without fear of embarrassment.
At Axiom Health & Fitness, wellness experts fortify everyday routines with exercise, house-made health foods, and relaxation. The scent of house-made granola fills the 5,500-square-foot facility, where calories melt faster than a snowman at a chili cook-off. Treadmills and elliptical machines dare visitors to sprint, glide, and climb toward fitness goals, and plate-loaded weight machines replaces fat with lean muscle. For a more intense, focused regimen, boot camps throw guests into the ring with functional-training tools such as sandbags, kettlebells, and weighted chains, and personal and group training helps with everyday obstacles so that clients can lift a child without pain, or outrun a rollerblading cheetah. The gym's fitness experts also work hand-in-hand with clients who want to lose weight, offering tips on how to eat healthier and increase energy levels.
Runners embarking on the Honky Tonk Marathon, Half Marathon, and 5K won't need headphones to hear twangy country tunes. That's because the hilly Wisconsin Dells course features live bands and DJs along the route to keep participants energized as they race toward the finish line. The party-like atmosphere doesn't end with the race, as a full-blown celebration complete with food, beer, and line dancing awaits runners and their family and friends. Aside from age-group awards for the top three males and females in each race, finish-line gifts include a Honky Tonk cowboy hat and goodie bag for all participants, a finisher-medal buckle for marathoners and half marathoners, and an ice bath for those who decided to pogo stick the entire 26.2 miles. The Honky Tonk marathon and half-marathon course is USA Track & Field certified and is also a Boston Marathon qualifier.
Aside from being a premier venue for watching sports, Saloon on Calhoun is a bacon utopia with a daily all-you-can-eat bacon happy hour, bacon-infused vodka, and a menu of bacon-accented pub classics. Widescreen TVs speckle the wooden walls throughout, allowing patrons to catch game replays and Martha Stewart knitting segments from the bar, pool tables, or Internet jukebox. As darts bust cork, thin-crust pizzas present guests with slatherings of homemade sauces and bacon burgers, wraps, and beer-battered fish emit puffs of steam in solidarity with the ears of infuriated cartoon characters. In addition to weekly trivia, karaoke, and live blues events, a fully stocked bar with 15 craft beers tests the limits of patrons' tolerance for fun.

Hughleys Child Star Charged with Murder
Former child star of the Hughleys DeeJay Daniels (real name Dorjan Lyndell Daniels) was recently arrested in California for marijuana possession, premeditated murder and gang activity charges in connection with a fatal stabbing. Daniels played little Michael Hughley on the ABC and UPN television show The Hughleys. The 23-year-old was taken into custody along with two others for allegedly stabbing to death 26-year-old John Joseph outside the Chivitas nightclub in Stockton, California, in August.
Daniels has undergone a total transformation since his television days. He now has visible face tattoos (one of a kiss and one that appears to be gang-related) and a menacing scowl, as seen in his mugshot. Apparently the funds accrued during his stint as an actor have run out.
The defense will seek to dismiss the case on Friday. If the case is not dismissed the three alleged accomplices will face charges of street terrorism, premeditated murder, and premeditated attempted murder. If convicted, Daniels could face a life sentence.
In addition to The Hughleys, which ran from 1998 to 2002, Daniels also had a few small roles in "Coach," "ER," "The Wayans Bros," "Family Matters," and the Disney movie "Sky High."His last known role was a "Cold Case" episode which he starred in as a teenager. He is currently being held without bail.

I completely agree with a Facebook post attributed to Morgan Freeman (although apparently he did not/not write it; see below) in which he attacks the media for focusing attention on the shooters in cases like the Sandy Hook atrocity, de facto giving them the fame they probably craved but never deserved. Here's what Freeman wrote about the motive of such killers:
"You want to know why. This may sound cynical, but here's why.
It's because of the way the media reports it. Flip on the news and watch how we treat the Batman theater shooter and the Oregon mall shooter like celebrities. Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris are household names, but do you know the name of a single *victim* of Columbine?
Disturbed people who would otherwise just off themselves in their basements see the news and want to top it by doing something worse, and going out in a memorable way. Why a grade school? Why children? Because he'll be remembered as a horrible monster, instead of a sad nobody. CNN's article says that if the body count "holds up", this will rank as the second deadliest shooting behind Virginia Tech, as if statistics somehow make one shooting worse than another. Then they post a video interview of third-graders for all the details of what they saw and heard while the shootings were happening. Fox News has plastered the killer's face on all their reports for hours. Any articles or news stories yet that focus on the victims and ignore the killer's identity? None that I've seen yet. Because they don't sell. So congratulations, sensationalist media, you've just lit the fire for someone to top this and knock off a day care center or a maternity ward next.
You can help by forgetting you ever read this man's name, and remembering the name of at least one victim. You can help by donating to mental health research instead of pointing to gun control as the problem. You can help by turning off the news."
So let's imagine…an individual alleged to have committed such a crime is named once, but only once, and subsequently referred to only as "the cowardly shooter" or some other epithet that describes his true character and action.
Maybe it wouldn't change anything – but isn't it worth at least a try?
Update: It turns out that Mark in Vancouver, not Morgan Freeman, wrote the post cited above; thanks to Dustin for bringing that to my attention. I decided to leave my post up, however, because its point remains valid.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"We sent these cards as announcements following our wedding. The paperstock was excellent and we have received many compliments. The design help to fit our long names and delivery time were also first rate."
"I absolutely love these invitations! They are the perfect mix of traditional, but adding a subtle touch of fun with the palm tree, raised border, and glittery ink. The only thing I wish was different was the paper. It is good quality paper but kind of boring and plain. I would have liked to pick a thicker paper if the option was available. However, the other features make the invitation very classy. I am so excited to send them out to my guests!"
"loved the way my wedding invitations came out. I was surprised how beautiful the gold ink looked. also the paper was perfect and the design truly is elegant and soooo much better in person than on the screen."
"We were delighted with the quality of both the paper and the printing - we got the standard weight paper, after seeing a sample, and felt like it was just the right weight. We did have several insert cards for most of our invitations. The font as shown in the example looked just right for us too. I was going for a simpler look and was very happy with using inner envelopes only and not bothering with any envelope lining. I did get the rounded corner option, and loved it on this design. I thought these invitations were an excellent value for money and set just the tone I was looking for - chic and semi-formal for an "encore bride"."
"Can't say enough about the quality and "class" of this traditional heavyweight William Arthur invitation! Simply stunning and we received so many compliments! WPD was so easy to work with - spacing and wording was exactly as I wanted it to be. The online chat is great and so helpful. It was so nice to have William Arthur include a few extra invitations at no charge."
