Benefits & Consequences: Having a Child without Getting Married
May 12th, 2014 at 9:05 am
Women of today have more options than women of earlier generations. It used to be that women who became pregnant out of wedlock had no choice but to marry, or else confront lives of poverty and social isolation. While that unfortunate scenario is the reality for some women, others have found that single motherhood affords more stability than marriage.
Lily's story is one example. She broke up with her boyfriend Carl while pregnant because she feared he would make caring for their child more difficult. Carl had trouble holding down a job, and Lily decided she could not depend on him. Furthermore, because Lily and Carl were not married when she gave birth, and because his name is not on the birth certificate, he has no legal parenting rights. For Lily, that was the desired outcome. But is that what Carl wanted? What if Carl decides he wants to claim paternity? What rights would Carl, or any putative father, have under Illinois law?
Presuming or Establishing Paternity
Illinois law presumes paternity if:
- The man was married to the child's biological mother when the child was conceived;
- The man marries the child's mother after conception and gives written consent to be listed on the birth certificate as the father;
- The man and woman sign an acknowledgement of paternity; or
- The man and woman sign an acknowledgment of parentage or if they sign an acknowledgment of parentage with a denial of paternity (if the presumed father is not actually the natural father).
A man who is not the presumed father must establish paternity before he can seek custody or visitation rights. Ideally, he would do so immediately. One consequence of not establishing paternity is the mother may put the child up for adoption without the putative father's consent. To avoid this, the father should register with the Putative Father Registry within 30 days of the child's birth. Then he should begin legal proceedings to officially establish paternity within another 30 days.
Once paternity is established, the father can petition for sole or joint custody. The court will make a custody determination based on what is in the best interest of the child. Illinois, unlike some states, does not presume that joint custody is best. The court will consider various factors, including each parent's financial situation and health.
If awarded joint custody, the parents will make major decisions about the child together. It is important to understand, however, that joint custody does not mean joint parenting time. One parent will have residential custody, meaning that the child will live with that parent. The other parent will have visitation rights.
Custody battles can be contentious, especially if you first need to establish paternity. We understand the stress involved in proving that you are your child's father, and we can explain your rights and responsibilities under the law. We also understand that not all families are the same. We will work with you and put your child's interests first. Contact one of our experienced Illinois family law attorneys today.

Questions about Paternity in Illinois
February 22nd, 2014 at 12:06 pm
Regardless of whether you are a man or a woman, there may come a time in your life when you are forced to question the paternity of your son or daughter. This is never an easy question to confront because there is so much depending on the outcome. Paternity cases, like any family law cases, are difficult for all involved, and understanding your rights is essential.
The Law
The Illinois Parentage Act of 1984, promulgated at 750 ILCS 45, sets forth the rules which establish a parent-child relationship. Pursuant to the Illinois Parentage Act, the parent-child relationship is established if there is proof that the natural mother has given birth to the child. Adoptive parents can establish the parent-child relationship by proof of adoption or through the "Vital Records Act." The natural father of the child or children can be shown through DNA Typing.
Under the law, the following statements are true:
- A man is presumed to be the father if the child is conceived or born while he and the mother are or have been married;
- A man is presumed to be the father if he and the mother marry after the child's birth, and he has given written consent to be named on the child's birth certificate;
- It is presumed that the man is the father if he and the mother have signed an acknowledgement of paternity;
- If the man is not the natural father though, he may deny paternity, but acknowledge parentage to establish the parent-child relationship.
Paternity Concerns
Various reasons can compel the mother, father, or both to want to verify the true paternity of the child or children. Most often, the question of paternity arises in connection with custody and visitation, but the issue of paternity also concerns child support. The Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, found at 750 ILCS 5/505, sets forth the rules concerning child support.
Regardless of the reason that drives you to determine the paternity of the child in question, know that you have rights and responsibilities that coincide with that determination, and seeking legal help should be a priority.

Paternity Testing
September 21st, 2013 at 1:58 pm
As time progresses on, society continues to change, and today, it is more likely than ever that people will have more than one sexual partner in their lifetime. This is also becoming more socially acceptable, although some people do still frown upon physical intimacy before marriage. For those people that do participate in the act, however, legal issues can arise and become exceedingly more complicated.
If a child is conceived out of wedlock, there is a chance that the mother will not know who the real father is. Even if the mother thinks that she knows, she cannot be certain unless she only had one partner around the time of conception.
Some men are thrilled to assume that the child is theirs and take on fatherhood responsibilities, but others do not want to be tricked into fatherhood of a child that is not theirs. To know for certain, a paternity test can determine the child's biological father.
Testing to determine a child's biological father is important, not only for the parents, but also for the child for many reasons such as:
- Having accurate family medical history available for the child, which is especially helpful in the event of a genetic disease or disorder that may arise as the child grows
- Having access to certain social and legal benefits like veteran's and inheritance benefits and social security
Most states require hospitals to have an Acknowledgment of Paternity (AOP), which states who the father is, signed by unmarried parents when the child is born. If a couple has been unmarried for at least 300 days, then there will simply be no father listed on the birth certificate until the legal document is filled out, at which point the father will be added to the birth certificate.
Once the AOP is signed, the father listed, even if he is not truly the biological father, will be held legally accountable for the child. This is, unless the couple requests a DNA test to be done and they change the AOP. The DNA test and AOP is especially important to fathers if the mother is married to someone else, because the husband will be assumed to be the father of the child and he will be listed on the birth certificate as the legal father.
The biological father can, then, still request an AOP and be listed as the child's father on the birth certificate if the husband and man currently listed as the father signs a denial of paternity, stating that he is not truly the father. If he refuses to sign the denial, the biological father can take further action in court.
If you are a biological father to a child who has someone else, or maybe no one, listed as his or her father on their birth certificate, contact a family law attorney for assistance. Shaw Jacobs Goosetree & Associates are located in Kane County, Ill. and are available to help you claim fatherhood today.
Paternity & Fathers Rights | Illinois Family Lawyer
March 8th, 2013 at 4:21 pm
Pick up any tabloid magazine and you're sure to find at least one article about celebrity couple Kim Kardashian and Kanye West and the new baby they have on the way. But a recent article in The Examiner raises the question as to who legally under California law, where the couple reside, could be considered the baby's father.
Kardashian is still legally married to pro-basketball player Kris Humphries. And although highly unlikely Humphries would attempt to lay claim to paternity of the baby, under California law, he could legally be entitled to do just that. In California, the husband of a pregnant woman is legally presumed to be the baby's father. Although the presumption of the law is that the married couple must be residing together, something that Kardashian and Humphries have not done in quite some time, Humphries could possibly use that law to his advantage in any divorce financial settlement negotiations.
However the Kardashian/West baby situation plays out, it emphasizes the importance of establishing paternity. When relationships are working and everyone is happy, there usually aren't any issues such as financial responsibility for a child. But when relationships end, the fighting may begin. Child support and other financial obligations need to be determined.
Children are also entitled to certain paternal benefits, including inheritance rights and Social Security and veteran's benefits. If you have a child whose biological father is refusing to pay child support, contact an experienced Illinois family lawyer today to legally fight for your child and obtain what they are entitled to.
The Importance of a Court Order for Child Support
January 15th, 2013 at 12:47 pm
When determining child custody, it can be a long and difficult road to walk, especially if the divorce is less than amiable. Despite the difficulties in ceasing to trust the co-parent of your child, there are some important things to keep in mind when determining child custody, according to the Huffington Post. The first is that child custody needs to be determined by court order—not just by words and a friendly agreement—before the child is sent to visit the other parent. Obtaining a court order is the first step to enforcing child support payments, and is best done with the assistance of a qualified and experienced divorce attorney.
To enforce a child support order in Illinois you first need to be aware of the state laws. According to a publication from Southern Illinois University, "the law which governs most of the area of child support in Illinois is the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act." The amount of child support that a non-custodial parent should pay is determined by statute. One child is 20%, two children: 25%; 3 children: 32%; four children: 40%; 5 children: 45% and 6 or more children 50%. Most of the time child support is paid by deducting the amount from the supporting parent's salary at the time he or she is paid.
Keep in mind that if the supporting parent has never lived in Illinois, the state of Illinois cannot enforce any ruling to that parent if only determined in Illinois.
The first step to enforcing a child support order is to prepare all necessary forms to start the process. The next is to file your petition, affidavit, and data sheet. Step three is to notify the other party of the Order, and step four is to wait and see if the supporting parent is served. The final steps are to go to the hearing, and to file the Certificate of Mailing with your County Clerk.
Even when you know the steps, obtaining a court order for child support and then enforcing it isn't an easy task. Don't go through it alone. Contact a Kane County divorce attorney today.

Kalamazoo Lab Debuts Prenatal Paternity Test
December 24th, 2012 at 5:26 am
With the increasing number of children born outside of marriage in the United States today, paternity testing has become a relatively common part of paternity proceedings. However, DNA testing typically occurs only after a child is born, leaving potential fathers to question their paternity throughout nine long months of pregnancy. Similarly, legal determinations involving child support are delayed until paternity can be established after a child's birth.
In a recent Michigan Live article, ARCLabs Kalamazoo announced that it performed the first noninvasive prenatal DNA test in the area on November 28, 2012. Using new technology, the lab performed a procedure that utilizes fragments of a fetus's DNA, which are found in a pregnant woman's blood as early as the first trimester of pregnancy, along with a cheek swab from the prospective father.
Prior to this type of testing, the only type of prenatal paternity testing was amniocentesis, which carries a risk of miscarriage; due to these risks, amniocentesis is used primarily as a prenatal tool to diagnose chromosomal abnormalities such as Down's Syndrome.
The test does come with a much higher price tag, however. Whereas ARCPoint charges $350 for a regular postnatal DNA test, the new test costs three times as much, running from $1,100 to $1,300.
Proponents of the new technology state that the finding out paternity test results early on in a pregnancy can be beneficial to all parties involved. The prospective father and paternal grandparents can have peace of mind, and may be more likely to emotionally and financially support the woman during her pregnancy.
If you are facing the host of legal issues that come along with a child who is born outside of marriage, it is best to get the legal assistance of a knowledgeable family law attorney as early as possible in the paternity establishment process. Call our office today to speak with a skilled and experienced Kane County paternity lawyer who can help explain your options and guide you down the path that is best for your situation.

Saturday, October 20, 2012
Did you know that one of the first people to pioneer celebrity endorsement was Josiah Wedgewood way back in the 1760s?
He actively promoted the fact that his pottery was used by Royalty to add to the perceived value of the products he sold.
Once Queen Charlotte started using his wares he immediately called himself "Potter to Her Majesty" and increased his prices for the nobility. He then lowered his prices for the middle class but the Royal stamp of approval on certain ranges meant he could charge a premium.
From that simple but brilliant piece of marketing insight we can fast forward over 250 years to a world where celebrity endorsement is now the norm.
Today Hollywood film stars promote luxury goods for millions and often low cost goods in the Far East so long as they are paid enough and also given a guarantee that the ads will not appear in the West to tarnish their reputation.
Today a new breed of television "celebrities" such as those from The Only Way Is Essex are paid "low" wages and told they can expect to gain large on photo deals and product endorsements.
I suspect Josiah would probably be caught between pride and shame at how far his initial concept has gone.
However history also teaches us that although we tend to put celebrities on a pedestal they can often fall off and, if closely associated with a product or service, can damage that as well.
High profile celebrities can make lots of money from brands wanting to be associated with them. David Beckham has made far more money from his product endorsements than he has ever made from actually kicking a ball.
However for every Beckham there is also an OJ Simpson or a Tiger Woods.
High profile celebrities with big product endorsements whose sponsors disassociated themselves as quickly as possible when things turned in their private lives.
In the last week we have seen sponsors finally start to desert Lance Armstrong.
Even Nike, whom he has worked with since 1996, cancelled agreements and even using the strongly worded press release stating he: "…has misled Nike for over a decade".
This shows the scale of the issue with Armstrong as they stood by Tiger Woods when his personal life exploded in 2009 when other brands left him. Within hours of the Nike announcement, the cycle company Trek and brewers Anheuser-Busch also cancelled with more following.
To put a sense of value to this, Nike alone was worth an estimated £4.6m a year to Armstrong.
Unfortunately there are no hard and fast lessons here.
Our fascination with celebrities means that their endorsement will continue to sell products and services.
So while that is the case, brand and service owners will continue to pay them in the hope it will help them grow their bottom line.
However, even those who once seemed beyond reproach can have hidden issues that can bite those who closely associate with them.
Lance Armstrong is not the first example and he will not be the last.

Public libraries, staff recognized for accreditation efforts
Eight South Dakota libraries were accredited by the South Dakota State Library this year, under a new system of tiered accreditation. In addition, 11 librarians earned their certifications.
Public libraries are accredited at one of three levels: Essential, Enhanced or Exemplary. Accreditation at the Essential level means a library satisfactorily provides the basic services required by state law and federal guidelines. Each subsequent level of accreditation builds on the previous level with additional indicators that libraries must meet. Exemplary is the highest level of service.
Libraries are evaluated in the following areas, as outlined in South Dakota Public Library Standards: governance, administration, access, collections and resources, funding, staffing, technology, and public relations. The three levels of accreditation are based on the number of indicators achieved in each of the standards.
"We commend these libraries and their staffs," said South Dakota State Librarian Dan Siebersma. "Securing accreditation and certification signifies their commitment to excellence and dedication to the communities they serve. We know this is a difficult process, and we are here to support them in their efforts."
Though it is a voluntary process for individual librarians and library staff, South Dakota public librarian certification is a requirement for certain staff members in order for a library, as a whole, to be accredited. More staffing requirements exist at the Enhanced and Exemplary levels.
Library certification is valid for two years.
The following South Dakota public libraries were accredited in 2010 by the South Dakota State Library:
• Freeman Public Library, Freeman (Essential)
• Wall Community Library, Wall (Essential)
• Dorothee Pike Memorial Library, Lake Preston (Essential)
• Edgemont Public Library, Edgemont (Enhanced)
• Elkton Community Library, Elkton (Enhanced)
• Grace Balloch Memorial Library, Spearfish (Enhanced)
• Rapid City Public Library, Rapid City (Exemplary)
• Vermillion Public Library, Vermillion (Exemplary)
In addition, the following librarians received certification from the South Dakota State Library:
• Michelle Koller, Vermillion
• Misi Kayl, Vermillion
• Diane Hedlund, Wall
• Linda Dobrovolny, Yankton
• LeAnn Kaufman, Freeman
• Joyce Moore, Vermillion
• Joyce Brunken, Yankton
• Cynthia Meinen, Mitchell
• Cindy Messenger, Hot Springs
• Ray Caffee, Hand County (Miller)
• Jane Larson, Vermillion
An electronic copy of South Dakota Public Library Standards, including detailed requirements for each level of tiered accreditation, is available on the South Dakota State Library's webpage at www.library.sd.gov

July 20, 2007 - (BRONX, NY) - Researchers at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University and the Montefiore-Einstein Heart Center have received a five-year $2 million grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to conduct pioneering studies in cardiovascular disease management. Robert E. Michler, M.D., the principal investigator for the grant, is professor and chairman of cardiothoracic surgery at Einstein and Montefiore, co-director of the Montefiore-Einstein Heart Center, and the Samuel I. Belkin Professor at Einstein.
Elizabeth G. Nabel, M.D., Director of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute of the National Institutes of Health commented, "By enhancing the ability of research teams to evaluate new techniques, technologies, and devices, the Network promises to improve the scientific basis of care in cardiovascular disease."
"This five-year NIH Network grant has the potential to dramatically improve the treatment of cardiovascular disease, still the leading cause of death in the United States and Canada," said Allen M. Spiegel, M.D., The Marilyn and Stanley M. Katz Dean at Einstein. "We are gratified to be a part of this award and these important studies."
The seven participating institutions will collaborate closely during the five-year research period to improve technologies used in treating cardiovascular disease, and will meet regularly throughout the year to exchange data and compare findings. "Our participation in this innovative collaboration among leading U.S. and Canadian heart centers, places the Montefiore-Einstein Heart Center at the forefront of cutting-edge cardiovascular research. It is our hope and expectation that this study will lead to significant improvements in cardiovascular disease outcomes for patients," said Dr. Michler.
Additional researchers from Albert Einstein College of Medicine and the Montefiore-Einstein Heart Center who will participate in the study include:
Daniel Goldstein, M.D.; David D'Alessandro, M.D.; Ricardo Bello, M.D./Ph.D.; Simon Maybaum, M.D.; V.S. Srinivas, M.D.; Roger Swayze, R.N.; Hillel Cohen, Ph.D.; Richard Kitsis, M.D.; Linda Haramati, M.D.; and Daniel Spevak, M.D.
Only seven heart centers in the United States and Canada were selected to participate in this landmark study of evidence-based medicine in cardiothoracic surgical practice. The others are: the Cleveland Clinic; Duke Medical Center, the University of Virginia; Emory and Columbia Universities; and the Montreal Heart Institute.

Nova Scotia
Posted By Good Sam On January 31, 2012 @ 4:14 am In RV Destinations,RV News | 1 Comment
Jutting out into the Atlantic Ocean and just a stone's throw from Maine, Nova Scotia is widely known for its remarkable scenery and abounding maritime culture. This is a land filled with seaside inns, vineyards that dot the countryside and an incredible amount of annual festivals.
On Cape Breton Island, breath-taking views surround you, from highland hills to the amazing waters of the Bras d'Or Lakes. For foodies, we recommend you take time out to eat at one of the fine dining restaurants on the island which overlook Atlantic Ocean.
Cape Breton Island is also home to the Cabot Trail [4], one of the best driving destinations in the world. The trail starts in quaint village of Baddeck, winds through glacier valleys, then places you in the Cape Breton Highlands National Park [5] where you are sure to see majestic waterfalls, lush green hills, and amazing wildlife.
Once done with the Cabot Trail, head over to the city in the center of Cape Breton Island [6]—Sydney—and play a round of gold, visit the local casino or take a short drive to the local beaches to soak up some sun. If you come at the right time, don't miss the annual Celtic Colors Festival, where the town's Gaelic heritage is celebrated.

Just a great lens
By Regman
from Lancashire
It's just a great lens - have been considering this purchase for some time and really glad I eventually decided to buy. It's expensive but you do get value for money. Great quality pics with excellent detail. It is rather heavy though and after several hours use you do feel the need to put it down!
Nikon 80-400 afs vr. Worth every penny
By Owlsender
from West midlands
I use this lens for birds, wildlife, and insects, for dragonflies and butterflies it is fantastic. Top image quality,I can use it wide open at 5.6 no problem at all, better than any previous telephoto I have owned. Used on dx and fx, it's an expensive purchase but you get what you pay for. I waited 3 years for Nikon to bring this out and bought one as soon as they hit the shelves. Current pricing makes it a really exellent purchase, very highly recommended.

good quality lens
By Whitts
from Northumberland
Good quality robust lens with a good distance range that does allow hand holding, but better to use a tripod. Gets heavy afer lugging it around for a time which is to be expected, and not a criticism. Images are good quality, focusing quick and easy, no 'hunting' noticed.Foot is not as robust as I would have liked, but all in all very pleased with the product.

Beyond excellent
By malcolmrmcintyre
from London
Bought this lens for shooting wildlife, and for larger animals it is simply brilliant; fast, sharp and good VR. Focal length without a teleconverter is a little short for birds, but with the high resolution of a full frame D800, cropping the image works fine.Feels a bit heavy after a full day in the field, but still lighter than many long teles.

My best photographic buy in a long time.
By KennyM
from Scotland
For many years I have used the Nikon 200-400 lens for wildlife photography, both in the UK and abroad. It is a great lens but it is heavy and bulky. Add the 70-200 (my standard wildlife kit) and you have a very heavy and bulky outfit.The new Nikon 80-400G looked interesting and I decided to go for it as an alternative for the 70-200 / 200-400 combination when traveling. Having used it for some weeks now, I am absolutely amazed at the performance of this lens. It is incredibly sharp and comes VERY close to the 200-400 in every way (other than maximum aperture), and is not far behind the 70-200 - two highly regarded professional lenses. I can happily live with the poorer maximum aperture and minimal drop in picture quality in exchange for the weight saving and convenience of only having to carry a single lens. Far from using the 80-400G as an alternative when travelling it has become my regular wildlife lens. Focus is fast and accurate on my D800. It is compact and lightweight (in comparison with my 70-200 / 200-400 kit) and it can be hand held for long periods - something I certainly couldn't do with the 200-400!At a fraction of the cost of a 70-200 f/2.8 plus a 200-400 f/4.0 this is a great option and one that I can wholeheartedly recommend.

At last a rival the Canon 100-400L
By rdspalm
from Northern Ireland
I bought this lens for bird photography on the move. It is very portable and a definate rival to the famous Canon 100-400 L. What took Nikon so long? This lens is perfect for bird photography and with the addition of a Nikon teleconverter can be boosted to around 600mm.I find quality excellent with good detail ald colours. focussing is fast and accurate.

Am looking for DAY LILIES, no reds/yellow/orange "hot" colors, more interested in white, pink, purples "cooler" tones. No stella d'or.
probably have other roses, too. CAN give cuttings if the plant has enough maturity, check my list, but not rooted cuttings.

Here's my list, short as it is.
Can dig/divide:
A few rooted shrimp plants that came from Carrie's house last fall.
Plumaria cuttings, not potted or rooted. No names, one was yellow and one kinda pinkish/red. No idea which is which at this point.
I'll list other things as I find them.
Hi Melvalena,clipped on: 04.27.2012 at 07:22 pm last updated on: 04.27.2012 at 07:32 pm
Is it too late to request:
Would you be interested in ground covers and climbers (english ivy, wintercreeper, honeysuckle, periwinkle)? Some are rooted cuttings in water, some will be just cuttings in water (with root hormone)? I am new to gardening, so I apologize for not having much to swap with you.

Apple has revved iTunes to 11.0.3. According to Apple, it includes a dramatically simplified player, a completely redesigned Store, and "iCloud features you'll love." Per Apple's release notes, this is what you get with iTunes 11.0.3:
° Completely Redesigned. iTunes makes it more fun to explore and enjoy your music, movies, and TV shows. You'll love the beautiful edge-to-edge design, custom designs for each album, movie, or TV show in your library, and getting personal recommendations any time you click In the Store.
° A New Store. The iTunes Store has been completely redesigned and now features a clean look that makes it simpler than ever to see what's hot and discover new favorites.
° Play purchases from iCloud. Your music, movie, and TV show purchases in iCloud now appear inside your library. Just sign-in with your Apple ID to see them. Double-click to play them directly from iCloud or download a copy you can sync to a device or play while offline.
° Up Next. It's now simple to see which songs are playing next, all from a single place. Just click the Up Next icon in the center display and they'll instantly appear. You can even reorder, add, or skip songs whenever you like.
° New MiniPlayer. You can now do a whole lot more with a lot less space. In addition to showing what's playing, MiniPlayer now includes album art, adds Up Next, and makes it easy to search for something new to play—all from a smaller and more elegant design.
° Improved search. It's never been easier to find what you're looking for in iTunes. Just type in the search field and you'll instantly see results from across your entire library. Select any result and iTunes takes you right to it.
° Playback syncing. iCloud now remembers your place in a movie or TV show for you. Whenever you play the same movie or episode from your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Apple TV, it will continue right where you left off.
This update adds a new Composers view for music, improves responsiveness when syncing playlists with a large number of songs, and fixes an issue where purchases may not show up in your iTunes library. This update also includes other stability and performance improvements.
iTunes 11.0.3 is available via the Software Updates component of the Mac OS X Systems Preferences app.

|Chic Eats: Grilled Haloumi Cheese with Poached Cherries
Chic Eats: Grilled Haloumi Cheese with Poached CherriesTempt your taste buds and treat yourself to this fabulous wine and cheese pairing. Our Chic Chef shows you how to enjoy a little culinary splurge.
Every once in a while, you have to treat yourself to a few indulgences — a weekend spa getaway, a gourmet meal in the comfort of your own home or a good bottle of wine. Well, two out of three isn't bad. Grilled Haloumi Cheese with Poached Cherries paired with Chateauneuf du Pape is a luxurious, but affordable, culinary splurge.
Haloumi (hah-LOO-me) is a unique cheese native to the island of Cyprus. Because haloumi has a higher-than-normal melting point, the cheese is able to be fried or grilled without losing its texture or melting through the grill. Grilling the cheese imparts a smoky flavor and creates a crackly crust around a smooth creamy interior.
With its wonderfully salty flavor, haloumi pairs well with sweeter foods like sweet/savory poached cherries. At around $16 per pound, haloumi may not be an everyday cheese, but it is definitely worth every penny.
The name Chateauneuf du Pape (shah-toh-noof-d≈´-POP) brings back memories of wine studies in my culinary school days. The Wines course was an extensive study of wines of the major regions of the world and naturally included tastings. I tasted many wonderful wines during the intensive course, but Chateauneuf du Papes, from the Southern Rhone region in France, were among the wines we students spoke of with awe in our voices and dreamy looks in our eyes.
Literally translated as "new castle of the pope," the wine is named for the papal home built in the region in the 1300s. Many of the red wines from this region are predominantly made from the Grenache grape but can include upwards of thirteen grape varietals. The 2007 red Chateauneuf du Pape is available in full bottles for around $75 to $100, and half bottles (my choice) can be purchased for around $30 in some specialty or gourmet markets.
This well-balanced red is full-bodied but will not overpower the haloumi, and the fruit notes in the wine balance the smokiness of the grilled cheese while complementing the poached cherries. Serve the haloumi drizzled with the poached cherries and a few slices of crusty French bread.

BAE Systems' digital
electronic warfare system (EW) has successfully completed the first
phase of developmental flight tests on the U.S. Air Force's F -22A
Raptor. The tests of the digital EW system were conducted aboard
Raptor "4009" at Edwards Air Force Base, CA, over the past four
The flight tests are part of BAE Systems' F-22A Product
Improvement Program. In 2004, Lockheed Martin -- the F-22A prime
contractor -- selected BAE Systems' digital receiver technology as
the baseline EW system for future production lots on the new Air
Force fighter.
The digital EW system exploits breakthroughs in commercial
analog-to-digital (ADC) technology and Field-Programmable Gate
Arrays (FPGAs). It replaces older analog receiver technology with
reconfigurable digital receivers - providing cost, power, and
weight savings for the F-22A.
"BAE Systems has met all of the digital EW program commitments
and is delivering enabling technology to help the F-22A meet future
war fighter mission needs," said John Paquet, director of Missions
Systems and Software at Lockheed Martin Aeronautics, to
"This Product Improvement Program will result in production cost
savings in excess of $90 million for near-term production lots,"
said Bill Hill, Digital EW program manager for BAE Systems at
Nashua, NH. "The new programmable digital hardware requires fewer
unique parts, improves reliability, and substantially decreases the
supportability cost."
The flight tests culminate a three-year engineering and
manufacturing development effort. The new digital EW equipment will
be introduced in BAE Systems' Lot 5 production deliveries, that
will be incorporated on the aircraft beginning in 2006.
As was reported in Aero-News last
week, the F-22A Raptor just received its initial
operating capability sign-off, meaning the aircraft is now ready
for operational deployment on the front lines throughout the
BAE's Product Improvement Program began as a company funded
research and development effort, sponsored by the Aeronautical
System Center at Ohio's Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, to build a
wideband, channelized digital receiver. The success of that effort
stimulated Congressional support for the cost-saving opportunity to
fund a Defense Microelectronics Activity (DMEA) project to mature
the implementation of the technology.

CNN — The trial of James Holmes, the gunman in the massacre at a Colorado theater last year, will no longer begin in February.
Judge Carlos Samour vacated the trial date at a hearing Thursday.
A new date was not set immediately.
A hearing is scheduled for December 11.
Holmes' attorneys have acknowledged that he was the shooter. In a court filing, they argued that he was in "the throes of a psychotic episode."
In July 2012, Holmes opened fire at a midnight showing of "The Dark Knight Rises" at the Century Aurora 16 Multiplex Theater, in Aurora, just outside Denver. He killed 12 people and wounded 58 others.
Holmes, now 25, is charged with 152 counts. He pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity.
