White Sox great Carlton Fisk's lawyer is trying to fight the suspension of his driver's license and suppress evidence in his drunken driving case.
Attorney Stephen White filed some routine motions in Fisk's case and appeared in court Thursday on Fisk's behalf.
The Secretary of State's office will suspend Fisk's license for 12 months starting Dec. 7 because he refused to take tests to confirm his blood alcohol level at the time of his arrest.
The Baseball Hall of Famer did not appear in court, and White said he would keep Fisk away from the courthouse as much as possible.
On Oct. 22, several passing motorists told New Lenox police about a Ford pickup that had left the road and gone into a field at Gougar and Spencer roads.
Fisk, 64, who was a catcher for the Sox and the Boston Red Sox, was behind the wheel and unconscious when a New Lenox police officer found him and recognized him, police said. There was an open bottle of vodka in the truck, police said.
He was taken to Silver Cross Hospital in New Lenox for an examination, police said.
After he was discharged from the hospital, Fisk was charged with drunken driving, transportation of open alcohol and improper lane use.
After posting a $300 bond at the police station, he was released from custody and was scheduled to appear in court Nov. 29, though White had asked that the court date be moved up to Thursday.
Records indicate that Fisk lives in Bradenton, Fla., but has also owned residences in New Lenox and Lockport.

For immediate release -- Friday, May 11, 2001. Contact Bob Brammer, 515-281-6699
Statement of the Attorney General's Office:
Ida County District Court Judge John P. Duffy has issued a permanent injunction ordering Wunschel Oil Co. and Vernus and Jacquelyn Wunschel to allow DNR and its representatives access to the Wunschel Oil property at the corner of Highways 59 and 175 in Ida Grove, and not to "harass, obstruct, or otherwise interfere in any way" with representatives of the DNR who seek access to the site for sampling or corrective action. (The order was filed in Ida County District Court on Wed., May 9; the Attorney General's Office received a copy Thursday afternoon, May 10.)
The Court had issued a temporary injunction on November 7 in response to a lawsuit filed in September by Iowa Attorney General Tom Miller that sought to remove significant amounts of petroleum contamination of the land and groundwater at the site. In February, the Attorney General's Office asked the Court to grant summary judgment and make the injunction permanent, which the Court did this week.
The DNR (Dept. of Natural Resources) was able to resume cleanup activities on the property on March 26, almost one year after it had been denied access. Tests taken in March show significant amounts of petroleum contamination remain on the land and groundwater. Cleanup has been underway since then and is expected to be a long process.
At a hearing seeking the injunction last fall, the State presented evidence that since 1998 it has removed thousands of gallons of gasoline from the ground at the Wunschel property, which is within 200 feet of the primary drinking water well for the City of Ida Grove. The State lawsuit alleged that the petroleum contamination potentially endangers the nearby Ida Grove city drinking water well. If the petroleum product were to migrate and break through a clay soil layer under the site, the State alleged, the product could be drawn into one of the city's wells.

The issue is that there are a lot of companies such as "Emotiva" mentioned earlier that are doing a damn good job with the products they make. Is it fair to pass over them or "cheap" PSB products in these "best of" comparisons because someone else is making a marginally better amp or speaker for 80 to 100 times the price?
No, it wouldn't be fair to "pass over" affordable products, which is why we haven't. Yes, several of our winners are very expensive, but the magazine also awarded some very high-value products, such as the Rega RP3 ($1095), which happened to beat out some extremely expensive competition, including the $15,0000 Clearaudio Goldfinger Statement phono cartridge and the $45,000 Wave Kinetics NVS Reference turntable. Our very most affordable winner of the year was the $250 AudioQuest DragonFly, which itself beat out some very worthy competition, including the $7000 Weiss DAC202.
And we've awarded many affordable products over the years, including the "cheap PSB products" you mention—the PSB Alpha B1 ($299/pair) was our 2007 Budget Product of the Year and made a very fine showing in our overall Loudspeakers category. It also happens to be my reference loudspeaker.
And I agree that Emotiva deserves attention. We've reviewed their products favorably, and I'll be visiting the company's Nashville headquarters next week.

There are many different aspects to Fraser Island, but the awe-inspiring beauty of Lake McKenzie makes it probably the most visited natural site on the island. It is a 'perched' lake, which means it contains only rainwater, no groundwater, is not fed by streams and does not flow to the ocean. The sand and organic matter at the base of the lake form an impervious layer, preventing rainwater from draining away.
... moreThe sand here is pure, white silica and is not only beautiful to look at but feels beautifully soft to walk on. The sand acts as a filter, giving the water its clarity and helping to make the water so pure it can support very little life. The blues and greens of the lake are endlessly fascinating and it's well worth getting up early to look across it in the soft light of dawn.
There are great camping facilities here, each site having its own camp fire with wood provided. Toilets and cold showers are nearby.

Spotted at: Teens for Wishes' "Silver Lining Ball"
What are you wearing? A black-and-white floral dress with black satin ribbon at the waist from White House/Black Market, strappy black sandals by Nina, a Prada clutch, and pearls. I was going for something classic, sort of Audrey Hepburn-inspired. And I thought all black or all white wouldn't stand out at a black-and-white party, so I was looking for a print.
Who is your fashion idol? Lindsey Lohan. I'm in love with her style: a little modern, a little rock 'n' roll, but mostly she looks like she's not trying too hard.
What's the biggest fashion mistake girls make? Thinking something is sexy and going trashy. Sexy can be about color and shape, not just skin.
What are your favorite beauty products? Aveda makes your hair the softest. For make-up, I love Smashbox: very sheer and great colors.
What wouldn't you be caught dead in? Anything taffeta. I hate that look.
You go to Cardinal Mooney, so what do think about wearing a uniform? Ours are not too bad. You have different colored shirts according to grade and you have to wear khaki pants or skirts, but you can still find a cut that flatters. You have some choices in belts and shoes and jewelry so you can make it yours, but you don't have to spend a ton of time figuring out what to wear 'cause it's a uniform.
What do you like best about
? I love how small it is. I love knowing the same people forever. You go to other places and you realize how clean it is here.—Patty Larsen
Crime novelist Leslie Glass infiltrates the Sarasota Reading Festival.
Shakespeare said, "The play's the thing." For
The Sarasota Reading Festival is a free day of books and author talks on Nov. 4. Its only fund raiser is a cocktail party at Selby Library called "A Novel Affair," Nov. 3. The festival traditionally follows the
In any case, the idea is to cajole publishers to pay for sending the crème de la crème our way, but sometimes they have their own ideas of who should come—and never mind if we've never heard of them, or if they're not really suitable for our audience. Last year we got the author of French Women Don't Get Fat, and she cheated by reading from her book. Authors aren't supposed to read; they're supposed to speak cleverly off the cuff. She might have been thin and French, but no one could understand a word she read. And then there were the authors who were charming but no one really cared about, and only nine people bought their books. Publishers don't like that.
In the past the method for procuring authors was pretty much catch as catch can, and board members' wish lists for their own favorites were like vapors, lost in the thunderheads of summer. Susan Rife of the Herald-Tribune, who coordinates the special festival tabloid that the H-T runs, and writes all the author features, had no idea until the very last minute who was coming and sometimes wondered if she was chopped liver. Programming was also a secret rite performed in the dead of night, and executive directors didn't tend to stay very long.
This year the Reading Festival was like a Dr. Seuss book in which changes really happened at the zoo. There was an actual programming committee with actual member participation, and oh, the e-mail was abuzz with author chatter all summer long. Jane Summerville of the New College Library Association would not stop going on about Dan Brown. No one would oblige her by inviting him. Renee kept asking if anyone knew Stephen King. He doesn't take phone calls, and no one is totally sure he even exists anymore. And Carl Hiaasen seemed to be hanging his head over the failure of Hoot, the movie. He wouldn't take phone calls, either, and his publicist was like the devil in The Devil Wears Prada. Don't try calling her.
Dear Michael Connelly, the newest New York Times serial novelist in the Sunday magazine section, was a leader in the "yes" department. He came in right at the start. His book
Foodies can debate carbs or no carbs all day long in the cooking pavilion, which features cookbook authors, while history/heritage buffs can learn more about World War II, the first female television correspondent, Nancy Dickerson, and the shot heard 'round the world. (In case you didn't know, it has something to do with baseball.) There will be comic novels about—what else?—
We also got a lot of serious stuff, too serious for me to talk about here: Ecology, swamps, everglades, trees, stem cell wars and a panel titled "The Politics of Science" moderated by Mike Michalson, president of
When I arrived at the first scheduling meeting in the history of the festival, which is celebrating its ninth birthday this year, Julie Taylor was up at the bulletin board ready to slate the authors in their slots, and Renee was hyperventilating into a paper bag. Whatever was the matter, I worried? I'd brought the cookies and was eager to get at the table full of food. There was a whole dinner waiting, but everybody was too glum to eat.
"Haven't you heard?" Terri Weldon of Comcast asked. Terri is responsible for bringing CSPAN and the Discovery Channel to the Festival. And thousands of free books to children in the children's tent. And Sponge Bob Square Pants, whatever they are. "Jim Lehrer dropped out."
"Why?" Shock traveled around the room as a dozen people panicked. "Something about the elections; he didn't want to miss them," Renee said. Dan Hoffe wondered why it took Lehrer so long to realize they were coming. Betty Morris, who is head of operations—oh, the tents and vendors—said she'll never listen to him again.
Former mayor Richard Martin, in charge of history/heritage (or is it science/environment? One of those serious non-fiction pavilions) begged for calm. More beseeching calls were made to Al Gore. Please, pretty please with sugar on top, come to our festival. No, Al couldn't come, either. He was up to his ears in elections, too. He said he'd come later, after he'd finished raising money for candidates. Lisa Endriss, the new festival director, got all excited about that. She wants to have reading festival projects all year around, and so does everyone else.
How about
He promised to look into it, and everybody cheered up. Julie started slotting in authors. People filled their plates with food and then went back for more. The environmental committee had a private pow-wow while Renee moped just a second longer. Her first cancellation felt so personal. But we all moved on, and now the festival is finally here. Enjoy.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

The Yomiuri Shimbun
Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda has instructed concerned ministries and
agencies to begin preparing to join negotiations for the Trans-Pacific
Partnership trade agreement, indicating his intention to announce Japan's
participation when he attends a November summit meeting of the
Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum in Hawaii, government sources
The United States and eight other APEC countries are holding talks to
reach a basic agreement about the TPP. Noda apparently judged it necessary
for Japan to join in the process of compiling rules for the TPP, the
sources said.
Agricultural and some other organizations oppose joining the TPP, out of
concern that lowering tariffs under the free trade pact could bring a
flood of imported products into the domestic market.
Within the ruling parties, lawmakers with ties to farming industries have
formed a league and are collecting signatures of TPP opponents.
In the government, Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Minister Michihiko
Kano has also opposed joining the TPP talks.
Attention will be focused on how the prime minister will persuade
opponents. Azuma Koshiishi, secretary general of the Democratic Party of
Japan, said Saturday on a TV Tokyo program, "After discussions [within the
DPJ], I want the prime minister to be able to send a firm message on
Japan's behalf at the APEC meeting."
Koshiishi expressed his intention to coordinate opinions within the DPJ by
the APEC meeting, which will be held Nov. 12 and 13.
Noda planned to visit farming households in Gunma Prefecture on Monday, to
express his intention to implement measures to improve productivity and
thereby strengthen the nation's agriculture.
Noda is considering actions similar to those after Japan liberalized rice
imports in the 1993 Uruguay Round trade agreement. At that time, the
government implemented measures worth about 6 trillion yen to support
Among the measures the government is considering are large-scale fiscal
Noda aides have also suggested telling opponents that Japan can leave the
TPP negotiations if it decides at some point there would be a negative
impact on the nation.
At a summit meeting in September with U.S. President Barack Obama, Noda
told Obama Japan would decide as soon as possible whether to join the TPP
Noda's leadership to be tested
The lawmakers' league opposing the TPP, led by former Agriculture,
Forestry and Fisheries Minister Masahiko Yamada, had collected signatures
from 180 Diet members as of Saturday.
Yamada said most of the signatories are DPJ members, and he will submit
the list to the government when the number exceeds 200.
The league plans to organize a large rally soon to urge opposition to
joining the TPP.
"We'll fight with firm determination," a senior member of the league said.
The member also emphasized the group's intention not to be persuaded by
pro-TPP lawmakers.
Former DPJ President Ichiro Ozawa is said to be cautious about Japan
joining the TPP.
A Diet member in the Ozawa group said, "Economic partnerships comprising a
limited number of countries will divide the world economy into blocs and
may cause confrontations among blocs, like those around the time of World
War II."
The government wishes to draw on demand in other Asian markets to fuel
Japan's economic growth, and believes joining the TPP would aid in that
DPJ Policy Research Committee Chairman Seiji Maehara and former Secretary
General Katsuya Okada are pro-TPP.
Noda will have the DPJ's project team on economic partnership start
working this week to reach an intraparty conclusion about the TPP talks
before the APEC summit meeting. The team is chaired by former Economy,
Trade and Industry Minister Yoshio Hachiro.
But the team will likely comprise both pro- and anti-TPP members, such as
Okada and Yamada. Thus, bridging the opinion gaps will be difficult and
the debates will be a race with time.
To persuade anti-TPP party members, some in the government are considering
large-scale fiscal spending to revitalize agriculture. However, some DPJ
members have voiced doubt whether the government can find the funding for
such measures.

Noda eyes early decision on whether to join Pacific free trade talks
KAWABA, Japan, Oct. 10, Kyodo
Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda said Monday the government will come up with
a conclusion on whether to join the trans-Pacific free trade talks at an
early date after discussions within the government and the governing
''Drawing a conclusion at an early date is the government's basic policy.
I have instructed the government and the (ruling) Democratic Party of
Japan to begin discussions,'' Noda told reporters during a visit to a
farming village in Gunma Prefecture.
Noda is believed to want to speed up talks on reaching a decision before
the summit of Asia-Pacific-rim countries scheduled in mid-November, a task
that could pose challenges given the opposition to free trade within his
Cabinet and the governing party because of the potential adverse impact it
would have on the protected farming sector.

Oregon state parks may curb smokers by 2014
Jan 15, 2013 | 5 Comments
By The Associated Press
SALEM — The Oregon Parks and Recreation Department is drawing up rules that could limit smokers to their personal and recreational vehicles.
The department's staff is working on proposals in expectation of getting them adopted by early 2014, the Salem Statesman Journal reported Tuesday.
The general recommendation from the staff is to permit smoking only in personal vehicles and RVs, said Chris Havel, a state parks spokesman.
An order from Gov. John Kitzhaber went into effect this month banning smoking and chewing tobacco along the perimeter of most state offices.
The governor's order gives some agencies, such as the parks department, until next year to write rules. The state Parks and Recreation Commission has to approve rule changes suggested by staffers. To follow the spirit of the governor's order, however, new restrictions on tobacco use at parks are almost a given.
"People can expect that something is going to come of this," Havel said.
The rules would apply to a T-shaped area around the Capitol that the department manages, he said.
"We'd handle that area the same way we handle any other state park," Havel said.
They also would apply to the state fairgrounds, year round and not just during the Oregon State Fair, he said.
Park rangers have the authority to cite visitors who violate the rules, but it's more common for them simply to ask for compliance, Havel said.
Local jurisdictions have also been working to curb smoking in parks. Around Salem, Stayton and Independence have approved smoke-free rules in city parks. In Dallas, the town's largest park has a designated smoking area, and other parks officially are smoke free.
In Salem itself, City Council member Diana Dickey proposed two years ago to make it unlawful to "smoke or carry any burning smoking instrument while in any park." Councilors voted down the ordinance.
"Some of the councilors felt it was a freedom issue," Dickey said. Concerns also were raised about the ability to enforce no-smoking rules.

There is no second hand danger to others that I am aware of. No transference of carcinogens nor nuisance offensive odor's to complain about. Why exactly are smokeless tobacco products being banned from use on park grounds ..or.. within public buildings?
If they allow the use of those things, they are basically saying "it is okay to use that product". By banning it, they are taking a stand that they believe it to be harmful to someone (including one's self) and that is not okay.
They have anti tobacco campaigns and they also realize that several people who smoke or have tobacco "issues"b end up with some form of medical cost that often the state picks up at some time through their life.
That said, it seems a little annoying that you can't smoke many places. Bars that use to allow it and was perfect for a cigar (no more) and now they are saying "not around this campfire".. so.. I'm not to happy about it.. yet I rarely smoke (once or twice a year).

Perhaps if tobacco products could only be obtained by way of pharmaceutical prescription from a doctor, and Pharmacist's being the only source of the product there might not be so much illness and death. Wouldn't you agree?
This is already done with firearms, why not tobacco products?

I just wanted to drop a short note to let you know how much I've loved discovering your magazine! Having been an art director for trade publications for nearly 15 years, I have a pretty critical eye for print media and yours is really great. The photography is engaging and I think you really pull the reader into every subject you cover. I found myself interested in articles I normally wouldn't be, and I think that says a lot for your design and format.
– Kippy Spilker
The winter issue is beautiful...so many good things to eat!
– Marnie McArthur
I am so impressed with the spring issue of edible! There are so many great resources and articles in this edition. It always kicks a** but you gals continue to ramp it up to the next level! Thank you for highlighting women in ag and working with the food co-op, too! So, after you dropped off the magazine, they were all gone in about two hours.
– Nicole Sallaberry
Valerie Marquis
I was at Nothing To It the evening you were talking about the launch of this new read. I thought, 'a fresh, forward publication for Reno. Sounds appealing.' When it arrived, I fell in love. The pages were crisp with the new food mindset, chock full of inspiration to eat and shop locally.

CONGRATS on your year plus in business! Edible Reno-Tahoe is such a great addition to the growing foodie scene. I love your magazine!

I just picked up the latest edition at Whole Foods. Wow! You have done an amazing job. I am going to hang onto this magazine and consult it frequently. I imagine my copy will be dog-eared and tattered by the time your next edition comes out. You have a real dynamic going and I hope to see the magazine for years to come. I can't wait to tell my friends and family about it.
– Yvonne Reese
Your magazine just keeps getting better and better! Loved this issue! My 12-year-old son picked it up and was fascinated by the solar cookers. He wants to build one.

Several years ago, I needed to have a difficult conversation with a new friend. I guess we could have spoken in person, but it was one of those situations that I needed to state my version of the story, uninterrupted. So, I decided to script a short note to her. I wanted to take my time and really think about not only what I wanted to say, but most importantly what I wanted her to hear. So I grabbed my yellow legal pad and began to write my heart out. I went to town maybe filling two or three sheets. When finished, I found a business envelope in the drawer, addressed and stamped it and dropped it in the mail.
Well, time passed and I never heard back. She never responded to the note; not in a phone call nor return note in the mail. I often wondered if I was too strong, or maybe it just didn't matter as much to her. On occasion I question if I even dropped it in the mail. Or maybe I used an enveloped from the cable company and they laughed and threw it out. How embarrassing! But then, she could have just gotten really, really…really busy. Her name is Michele, and she went on to become the First Lady of the United States of America.
Oh now how I wish I'd written her note on beautiful, personal stationery! I've only had the opportunity to write her one note and, well, yeah, that was it. I selected my yellow legal pad. I used a disposable piece of paper to pour my heart out. She probably thought, "Really, a legal pad?" It was probably lost on her desk of other notes scribbled on yellow legal paper. Maybe she tossed it after she read it. Oh Lord, today I sure hope she didn't keep my note!
Do you appreciate taking care to package your words in something special, as you do with other precious items.
What do you reach for when you need to write a note to someone?
If you don't have elegant stationery, then reach for your keys and head over toTT Patton, a boutique stationer in downtown Barrington. In this cosy, comfortable space at 123 East Station Street, proprietor Theresa Patton will help you create a stationery suite that is worthy of your words.

It is very well made--absolutely "yummy" to walk on. Even though I wish I'd ordered a color other than brown, I can't imagine anyone being unhappy with it.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.It really lives up to the colored picture on line..... dramatically changes my dining room.......love it.
I just rec'd the rug and the quality is great, the colors are beautiful and it looked even better than it looked online. It's a very plush, high-end looking rug. I love it.
Although a beautiful rug and very attractive I find it to be far too expensive compared to many other zebra rugs that are also made of wool.

Since HoN came out I've had the idea that we'd be seeing Faramir as the new Hero from the Steward's Fear…I know many of you thought so too. Does this change something ?…And if it doesn't…who's gonna be the new Ranger…???
My first guess would be Mablung (assuming we'll have a Gondor hero)

Hello everyone! My name is Chelsea Lubong and I am a sophomore majoring in Biology at UW Bothell. I was born and raised in San Diego, California. At the age of six, I began moving to various places every three years. I've had the opportunity of living in places such as Italy and Japan. Being exposed to a vast amount of different cultures and people with different backgrounds is what really led me to want to be a Diversity Programmer. The thing I love most about my job is the fact that I get to work and interact with a lot of students, faculty and staff from different backgrounds and people in general that have different life experiences. From there, I get to learn how they have become the person they are today. On a day to day basis, I learn something new from so many people. Being a Diversity Programmer truly puts a smile on my face!
Want to volunteer with the Diversity Programmers? Do you have a suggestion for a diversity program? Is there an issue you feel has not been addressed yet? Let us know! E-mail email@example.com with questions, comments, and concerns.

What's better than soup on a cold winter day? I decided to give Nile Spice Soup cups a whirl because each portable, single-serve soup requires only the addition of hot water to cook up to a nice, hot treat. With all the different varieties - Black Bean, Cheddar Broccoli, Country Mushroom, Lentil, Minestrone, Split Pea, and Potato Leek, to name a few - this could be a soup-lover's dream. I found the soup cups for sale at $1.19 each, and picked up the Nile Spice Chicken Flavored Vegetable variety to try it out.
When I whipped up my cup o' soup, I was impressed by how tender the noodles were and how satisfying it was overall (the spiral noodle shape is a cute departure from the norm). This was definitely one of the saltier soups I've had though, both in terms of taste and with regard to the actual sodium content (28% of the daily).
Each prepackaged 1 ounce cup of Nile Spice Chicken Flavored Vegetable Soup has only 110 calories, with 1.5 grams of fat (no saturated or trans fats), 4 grams of protein and 21 grams of carbohydrates which includes 2 grams of fiber (8% of the RDA) and 3 grams of sugars. One thing I didn't like? The sodium count - 670 mg (28% of the RDA) in a single cup.
The ingredients are Semolina From Durum Wheat, Dehydrated Vegetables (Onions, Corn, Carrots, Tomato, Celery, Garlic, Green Beans), Salt, Dried Butter (Cream), Autolyzed Yeast Extract, Molasses, Spices, Nonfat Milk, Chicken Fat, Dried Chicken, Natural Flavors, Honey, Turmeric Spice & Color.
Why or why can't they make packaged soups with less sodium?! I think I would prefer to add salt myself than to see the high daily values of sodium in these soups. Still, this Nile Soup is something I would reach for instead of Nissin Cup of Noodle Soup with it's 60% DV sodium content and 33% of the daily recommended amounts for saturated fat, but not something I would eat regularly because of the extra salty taste.
