JERUSALEM — Israel's premier says his military is prepared to "broaden operations" if Palestinians continue to fire rockets from Gaza.
Benjamin Netanyahu spoke as violence between Gaza militants and Israel continued for the fourth day.
The military "is ready to broaden its operations and will continue to act as necessary," Netanyahu said Monday, without elaborating.
The current violence erupted Friday, when Israel killed the leader of a Palestinian militant group in an airstrike.
Gaza militants have since fired more than 100 rockets at cities in southern Israel, where 1 million Israelis live, disrupting life there.
Israeli airstrikes have killed 23 Gazans, most of them militants, five on Monday. Two Israelis civilians have been seriously wounded by rocket fire.
Cease-fire efforts by Egypt have so far been unsuccessful.

State of Maine Waiver Request Waiver from the Requirement to Prohibit the Use of Individual Training Accounts for Older and Out-of-School Youth Posted for Public Comment
October 4, 2013
State of Maine Waiver Request
Waiver from the Requirement to Prohibit the Use of Individual Training Accounts for Older and Out-of-School Youth
The Maine Department of Labor, Bureau of Employment Services (MDOL/BES) is requesting a waiver for the Federal Regulations (20 CFR) Section 664.510 under the provisions established in Section 189(i)(4)(B) of WIA. Section 664 prohibits the use of Individual Training Accounts (ITAs) for Youth participants except if they are determined eligible and are co-enrolled as either an Adult or Dislocated Worker. This waiver is to be retroactive for PY12 and to continue through PY13.
The intent of this request is to allow Local Workforce Investment Boards (LWIBs) to use ITAs for Older Youth participants based on a valid assessment of their interests, skills, aptitudes and goals. Under the current regulations, expenditures for ITAs are only to be charged to the Adult and Dislocated Worker funding streams. The co-enrollment requirement is a duplicative and unnecessary process which does not allow LWIBs to charge the cost of the ITA back to the Youth account but draws down on "limited" Adult program funds. The current regulation also does not allow expenditure to be appropriately counted towards the 30 % out-of-school expenditure requirement.
Date: September 26, 2013
State: Maine
Agency: Maine Department of Labor/Bureau of Employment Services
Provide narrative for the following elements:
Statutory and/or regulatory requirements to be waived
The Maine Department of Labor's Bureau of Employment Services (MDOL/BES) is requesting a waiver of the requirements of 20 CFR, Section 664.510 under the provisions established in Section 189(i)(4)(B) of WIA statute. Section 664 prohibits the use of Individual Training Accounts (ITAs) for Youth participation except in the case they are determined eligible for and are co-enrolled in either the Adult or Dislocated Worker program.
Actions Undertaken to Remove State or Local Barriers
There are no state or local statutory or regulatory barriers to implementing the proposed waiver.
Goals and Expected Programmatic Outcomes of the Waiver
The goals of the waiver are to expand service options for youth, increase program flexibility, enhance customer choice, improve staff efficiency, and decrease paperwork associated with dual enrolment and related tracking (older youth). A waiver will maximize the service delivery capacity of the WIA Youth program within the CareerCenter delivery system by allowing youth who are employment-focused, rather than academically inclined, to have the same access as adults and dislocated workers to the advantages of ITAs. This waiver is to be retroactive for PY12 and to continue through PY13.
The Waiver will allow older out-of-school youth to select approved ITA programs from the Maine Consumer Report System, while retaining their youth classification. Training costs can be charged as out-of-school Youth expenditures; thereby, eliminating the need to track such expenditures across funding streams as is done presently.
Individuals Impacted by the Waiver
This waiver will directly impact older WIA eligible Youth allowing them to benefit from an ITA without the necessity of requiring co-enrollment. This waiver will positively affect the efficiency of the Youth case manager issuing the ITA and will enable older Youth participants to directly receive the types of services afforded adult and dislocated workers that most closely and efficiently meet their training and employment needs.
Process for Monitoring Progress in Implementation
MDOL/BES will monitor progress and ensure accountability of federal funds in connection with this waiver. MDOL/BES current program monitoring policy and procedures will be modified to ensure compliance with the intent of this waiver.
Notice to Affected Local Boards
Local Boards will be sent a draft copy of this waiver before it is submitted in its final format for public comment. Their collective feedback and suggestions for improvement will be considered by MDOL/BES before the waiver goes out for public comment and then submitted to ETA for the approval review.
Upon approval of the waiver, the local boards will create a local policy to communicate guidance based on the content of this waiver for the Youth service providers in their local areas.
Public Comment
The completed waiver will be posted to the home page of the State Workforce Investment Board and the Maine Department of Labor/ Bureau of Employment Services for public comment for a 15 day comment period prior to the formal submission to USDOL-ETA. http://www.maine.gov/labor/ and http://www.maine.gov/swib/

on December 21, 2011This just in, from the Holy Crap, They're Out There, Run Away! department:
Hatfield says he believes the United States' founders intended not only for presidents to be born in the U.S. but for their parents to also have been U.S. citizens. Obama was born to an American mother and Kenyan father.
I would like to pause in this festive holiday season to point out to lawyer Hatfield that not a single one of the Founders had parents who were U.S. citizens.
And, because I have no idea what this goober is talking about, and neither does he, apparently, I would like to offer him, in the interest of bipartisan amity and in the spirit of the season, this lovely photo of a bunny with a pancake on his head.

Hybrid Model
The Hybrid concept is to reduce the complexity and risks associated with remoteness between customer and provider in "traditional" offshore model and to leverage proximity of the Nearshore destinations with fewer language and cultural barriers and no time zone differences.
Onsite/Offshore Model
Xybion has mastered the onsite/offshore or virtual extension model of engaging our offshore resources.

I am currently taking my masters in social work, but cooking is my passion. I just would not be able to stand the hours working in a restaurant. I would never see my husband. So I am an amateur chef. I judge cooking contests like the Canadian national BBQ tournament etc. and love cooking for friends and family. I have a cookbook in process. Who knows if I will ever try to publish it but I will definitely give it as gifts to friends and family. My favourite parties to host are theme parties eg. I Okboberfest, Mexican and Thai etc. I generally do the research and each person can either choose from the recipes I have found or bring one of their own. I like to give the option since a lot of people don't necessarily have any recipes for that particular theme party.
Anyway its fun. I nice break from University and a really good excuse to get together with friends and family.
My other favourite things are gardening, knitting, sports and fitness. I also volunteer for a nursing home working with altzheimers and senile dementia patients, and for big sisters and I work part time for Planned Family Networks matching young adults with mental and / or physical challenges with a network of people they can count on when their parents can no longer take care of them.
FYI This was the only day I've ever had straight hair. It was great while it lasted but I'm not spending an hour staightening it whan I can shower and do practically nothing by leaving it curly.
My favourite foods:
Chicken, stirfried, grilled, stuffed, roasted.
Pasta, Pasta, and more pasta!, Salmon and anything spicey.
Almost all vegetables except turnip and parsnips and I'm not in to the bitter lettuces .
All fruit except the bitter ones eg grapefruit (unless loaded with sugar) and blood oranges.
I love ethnic foods. Thai is my favourite but I love italian, greek, mexican, asian (pretty much anything really spicy. But I still also cook from my grandmothers 1938 cookbook too (the old favourites.)
My favourite restaurant meal was from the red devil. It was called Wood Roasted chicken with angel hair pasta. It had chicken, mushrooms, sundried tomatoes, zuchini, garlic onion, and olive oil favoured with oregano, and dried chilies (I think). Anyway they are not around anymore but my friend and I spent 5 years trying to replicate and we believe we have (Thats how much we liked it.
"Favourite Quotes:
A twist on the football quote winning isn't the only thing it is everything ( I believe it was Lombardi)......Food is not the only thing it everything.
We may find in the long run that tinned food is a deadlier weapon than the machine-gun.
George Orwell (1903-1950) British novelist, essayist, and critic.

We're in Staunton, VA in the Shenandoah Valley and a newer homebrewer, but very eager and have a half dozen or more brews already under our belt. We are doing extract atm, but are going to move into all-grain shortly. We are curious if there are any homebrewers around us who may be interested in getting together and doing some brews and hopefully learning some new things. We don't have any clubs nearby, so getting some activity in the area would be great.
Just throwing this out there again to anyone in the Staunton/Augusta County area of Virginia who may be interested in meeting up to get involved in meeting new ppl and wanting a group and who may not be able or want to go to Harrisonburg. If you are interested, we can meet up downtown, maybe at The Bistro.
If it wasn't such a haul for me I'd be in.
Just an FYI to anyone in the area who may not yet have found a homebrew club. The new homebrew store Shenandoah Valley Brewing Company in Staunton, VA just initiated the first homebrew club tonight. I'm labeling it the SVBC Homebrew Club. We had our first meeting tonight and it was a very successful meeting with about a dozen members. We are planning on meeting in 2 weeks to continue to get to know each other and to get the group up and running. Anyone and everyone who is interested in meeting up should either get in contact with the SVBC or let me know and I will keep you informed. You can also find them on facebook. We hope to see you there at the next meeting.
Just another FYI. We are meeting again at the SVBC in Staunton, VA on Thursday the 30th at 630pm. This will be the second meeting as a followup to the successful first meeting a few weeks ago. Possible topics of note are of a communal yeast bank. If interesetd in joining us, contact SVBC directly or PM myself.
I want to make some of these but I have a 3 & 1/2 week old daughter so I'll probably hold off for a little bit still. Please keep posting upcoming meetings on here.
I'll def keep ppl updated on HBT about our meetings and high points. As far as I know, its still a go for Thursday at 630pm.
A new group has been formed by chutracheese under the groups tab. It is called Staunton Homebrewers Club. This could be a good place for those who use HBT to be able to communicate and more. I was also thinking of creating a facebook page for the club to be able to communicate and bounce ideas off each other. If there is any interest, let me know.

Please check your camera manual before using any new flash on your DSLR.
While it's possible that the Colorsplash Flash, Ringflash, and Diana+ Flash may be able to fire on your DSLR, the voltage of these flashes may damage the inner workings of your camera. We do not recommend the use of Lomography flashes with DSLR cameras.
However, if you're the experimental type, you can work around the voltage issue by attaching an extra adaptor that will lower the trigger voltage to a safe 6 volts. Please ask your local camera shop for such an adaptor, or search the Internet for a "safe sync" connector.
Please note that the SLR adaptor mentioned in some pressings of the Ringflash booklet was never produced.

John Thomas remembers standing stage-side at Red Rocks, staring at a sea of bodies gyrating to the music of Tycho as he warmed up the crowd for Sound Tribe Sector Nine and marveling at the surrealism of the whole experience. "I'm at Red Rocks talking to Gold Panda and Dave Murphy, drinking free booze backstage," he recalls. "What the fuck just happened?"
What the fuck just happened, indeed. Thomas, who performs under the name RUMTUM, is the newest addition to the roster of 1320 Records, STS9's highly regarded imprint. It had barely been a year since he'd moved from Seattle to Denver. And although he wasn't on the bill, that night at Red Rocks stands out as one of the best musical moments of the year for him. It was the culmination of several years of hard work making a name for himself in the increasingly crowded world of electronic beats.
And while it took years to reach that point, the album that gave him the biggest push of his career so far, Mystic Wonders, didn't take much time to cut. "I wrote Mystic in two weeks," notes Thomas. "I wrote a song a day for two weeks straight, and then at the end of it, I cut one song off and ended up with thirteen. The tracks are literally in the order [that] I made them." Within a few days of the album's completion, copies were circulating in the 1320 office, and the tunes quickly caught the attention of STS9's Murphy and others. Getting picked up by the label happened so quickly ("Three days later I got a call," he says), Thomas is still sort of in shock about the whole thing.
The album, which received its official release in mid-September, is a mélange of funky, dusty-fingered grooves that nods to everything from mid-'70s fusion to traditional African music. The result is effortlessly tasteful, a blend of golden-era hip-hop, Blue Note jazz, indie rock and electronic influences. There are moments that sound like RZA and Ennio Morricone huffing nitrous oxide together, and others in which bluesy guitar solos and crisp, snapping drum breaks foster understated, classical elegance.
"Since I've experimented so much," he explains, "I realize all the things I can do now. The sound is new because of that, but it's also going back to my roots of really liking J Dilla, Teebs, Flying Lotus and Madlib, and liking funk and jazz."
Each of Mystic's tracks is infused with a warm, organic quality. It would be easy to assume that the heart and soul of each cut was composed of impeccably excavated samples that he looped and took credit for after adding a synth flourish or two, but that's not the case. "I pretty much played everything," says Thomas. "I'll EQ it in ways where it sounds like a shitty recording. I'll put fuzz and distortion into it so it almost sounds like it's off a record. I like the idea that maybe I'm using this sample over here that sounds like something I recorded, and what I actually recorded sounds like it's off a record. People can't tell what I'm doing."
After arriving in town, there was a stretch during which Thomas gave up sampling entirely and shifted toward a more experimental, psychedelic sound. Working in this style, he'd nearly completed a fourteen-track album that he then scrapped because he "ended up hating it." Starting from scratch, he went back to his earliest loves but incorporated more of what he had learned along the way. The result speaks for itself, according to Thomas. "I've never written a record that's been so cohesive," he notes. "All the songs are different, but it flows really nicely."
And while there are still a few cleverly disguised samples within the tunes, there are far fewer than figured in some of his previous material. "If I like an organ sound, I'll take a little stab," he reveals. "I'll rarely sample a whole phrase or something. Now that I'm getting a few more followers, I've got to start watching out for that. It's good, though. It challenges me to play more."
While getting signed to a label is admittedly a huge step forward for RUMTUM, it also isn't the sea-change moment it's sometimes built up to be. "It doesn't really change anything," he says, "but it changes a lot at the same time." While there are definite perks, such as the show at Red Rocks, things are markedly less glamorous on a day-to-day basis. Thomas is still working a day job at the same time that he's working on new music. He dreams of continuing to challenge his fans' expectations, hoping to hit the road with live jazz-funk one year and then a set of club beats the next. Right now, though, he's just hungry to pay his dues and live through music.
"Right now it's a struggle to keep working and putting out records and waiting for that to happen," he admits. "You just have to be patient. It's like waiting for your dreams to really come together. I have to work hard and will it to happen." It was this dream of seriously pursuing music — of turning it from a passion into a career — that led him from Ohio to Seattle, then on to Denver, where he feels like he's found a real home, both as an artist and a person. "As soon as I got here," he says, "I had a good family of friends and the support of musicians I respected."

Complaint 2011-11-003 Cararthron
Meeting held 2 February 2012
Complaint summary
Dr Ken Harvey
Chalmers Dale and Co Pty Ltd
Subject matter of complaint
Website advertisement
Type of determination
Sections of the Code, Regulations or Act found to have been breached*
Code sections 4(1)(b), 4(2)(a), 4(2)(c)
Sections of the Code, Regulations or Act found not to have been breached*
Withdrawal of representations
Withdrawal of advertisement
Publication of a retraction
* only sections of the Code, Act, or Regulations that were part of the complaint or were raised by the Panel are listedThe advertisement(s)
1. The complaint concerned an internet advertisement published at the website www.cararthron.com.au.
2. The advertisement included representations such as "helps provide relief of pain and stiffness associated with rheumatoid and osteoarthritis, and may help improve overall joint function", "the new natural alternative is Cararthron for helping to alleviate symptoms of arthritis", "Cararthron also helps to maintain healthy cardiovascular function", "new improved formula of a clinically tested natural product for arthritis relief", "Cararthron has been clinically tested", "regular intake over 4-12 weeks results in an improvement of mobility and a reduction in stiffness", and many others.
3. An excerpt of the advertisement can be viewed in the relevant Appendix to this determination.
The product(s)
4. The advertisement promoted the product Cararthron.
The advertiser(s)
5. The advertiser was Chalmers Dale and Co Pty Ltd.
The complaint
6. The complainant was Dr Ken Harvey.
7. The complainant alleged that the advertisement breached sections 4(1)(b), 4(2)(a), and 4(2)(c) of the Code.
8. The complainant referred to research material regarding ingredients of the advertised product, noting that the evidence was limited and that the researchers explicitly stated that further research was required.
9. The complainant directed the Panel's attention to a previous complaint, 2010-09-015 Cararthron.
The advertiser's response to the complaint
10. The advertiser stated that the representations questioned by the complainant had been "extracted from an approved advertisement" and that "the specific indications for Cararthron have been approved by the TGA."
11. The advertiser provided copies of "relevant papers" from a "library of scientific published papers" said to support the representations made in the advertisement.
Findings of the Panel
12. Section 4(1)(b) of the Code requires that advertisements for therapeutic goods "contain correct and balanced statements only and claims which the sponsor has already verified." Section 4(2)(a) of the Code prohibits representations that are "likely to arouse unwarranted and unrealistic expectations of product effectiveness". Section 4(2)(c) of the Code prohibits representations that "mislead directly or by implication or through emphasis, comparisons, contrasts or omissions".
13. The Panel reviewed the evidence material provided by the parties. The Panel formed a view of the evidence that was consistent with its view in relation to a previous complaint referred to by the complainant, 2010-09-015 Cararthron. In relation to that complaint, the Panel found that:
it was clear that the material fell very far short of supporting the claims made in the advertisement. The study upon which the advertiser primarily relied, the Levy et al study, was expressly stated by its authors to be a short-term pilot study. It could not plausibly be advanced in support of any more than modest claims of modest potential benefits in relation to symptoms of osteoarthritis in the knee. The other material provided by the advertiser was of very limited relevance and persuasive value, and could not generally be described as clinical evidence in relation to the advertised product. It was also unclear, in many instances, whether the evidence material provided by the advertiser could be regarded as directly relevant to the advertised product.
14. In relation to the present complaint, while noting that the complaint and the advertiser's response were somewhat different to those in the previous complaint, the Panel reached essentially the same conclusion. The Panel was satisfied that the evidence material provided by the advertiser was not of a type or quality that could support strong claims made in advertising to consumers, and that the majority of it was of doubtful or undemonstrated relevance to the advertisement and the complaint. In particular, the material was not capable of supporting claims that the product had been "clinically tested" in a context where claims of therapeutic benefits were made. The Panel also noted that support for the claim that "regular intake over 4-12 weeks results in an improvement of mobility and a reduction in stiffness" appeared to be based on particularly limited evidence.
15. The Panel was therefore satisfied that the advertisement contained representations that had not been verified, were likely to arouse unwarranted expectations, and were misleading, in breach of sections 4(1)(b), 4(2)(a), and 4(2)(c) of the Code. These included the representations that the advertised product could provide benefits in relation to rheumatoid arthritis or its symptoms or maintain or help maintain healthy cardiovascular function, together with the representations that it was clinically tested or clinically demonstrated to have any therapeutic benefits when taken by ordinary, healthy consumers.
16. The complaint was therefore justified.
17. The Panel requests Chalmers Dale and Co Pty Ltd, in accordance with subregulation 42ZCAI(1) of the Therapeutic Goods Regulations 1990:
a) to withdraw the advertisement from further publication;
b) to withdraw any representations that the advertised product can provide benefits in relation to rheumatoid arthritis or its symptoms or maintain or help maintain healthy cardiovascular function, or that it has been clinically tested or clinically demonstrated to have any therapeutic benefits when taken by ordinary, healthy consumers, together with the representations that it is offers benefits in relation to arthritis other than modest possible benefits in relation to osteoarthritis symptoms in a context where the provisional and limited nature of the supporting evidence is made clear and explicit;
c) not to use the representations in (b) above in any other advertisement*;
d) where the representation has been provided to other parties such as retailers or website publishers, and where there is a reasonable likelihood that the representation has been published or is intended to be published by such parties, to advise those parties that the representation(s) should be withdrawn;
e) to arrange for publication on the website www.cararthron.com.au of a retraction in the form of, and in accordance with, the conditions set out in the attachment to this determination; and,
f) within 14 days of being notified of this request, to provide evidence to the Panel of its compliance, including a response in writing that they will comply with the Panel's sanctions, and where appropriate, supporting material such as copies of instructions to advertising agents or publishers, or correspondence with retailers and other third party advertisers.
18. The advertiser's attention is drawn to the provisions of sub-regulations 42ZCAI(3) and (4) which permit the Panel to make recommendations to the Secretary in the event of non-compliance with this request, including a recommendation that the inclusion of the goods on the Register be cancelled.
Dated 6 March 2012
For the Panel
Jason Korke
Appendix A: Definitions and footnotes
In this determination, unless otherwise specified:
a) "the Act" means the Therapeutic Goods Act 1989;
b) "the Regulations" means the Therapeutic Goods Regulations 1990;
c) "the Code" means the Therapeutic Goods Advertising Code;
d) "the Register" means the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods;
e) "any other advertisement" appearing in sub-regulation 42ZCA1(1)(d) is not confined to advertisements in specified or broadcast media (in relation to which complaints may be made to the Panel under Regulation 42ZCAB). It should be noted that HTML metatags and other information which can be retrieved by internet search engines, whether or not it is ordinarily viewed directly by consumers, constitutes advertisement material.
*Under regulation 42ZCAI of the Regulations, the Panel may request that a representation not be used in any other advertisement unless the advertiser satisfies the Panel that the use of the representation would not result in a contravention of the Therapeutic Goods Act 1989, the Therapeutic Goods Regulations 1990 or the Therapeutic Goods Advertising Code. Under the Panel's procedures, the Panel will not ordinarily give additional consideration to such a matter unless significant new material that was not available at the time of the Panel's determination has become available, or until at least 12 months have passed since the Panel's request was made.
Appendix B: Retraction
An advertisement is to appear on the homepage of the website www.cararthron.com.au at the earliest booking opportunity.
A copy of the retraction advertisement, and the page on which it will be published, is to be provided to the Complaints Resolution Panel for approval before publication.
An advertisement for Cararthron, which we published on this website, should not have been published.
In the advertisement we unlawfully made claims that Cararthron could have benefits in relation to rheumatoid arthritis and cardiovascular health. We also claimed that Cararthron was clinically tested and had been shown to be effective in relieving arthritis symptoms and aiding joint function.
A complaint about the advertisement was recently upheld by the Complaints Resolution Panel. The evidence we provided was very limited in relevance and quality, and was not capable of supporting the strong claims we made in the advertisement. At best, the evidence we provided suggested that Cararthron may offer possible modest benefits in relation to osteoarthritis, but that further research is required before such a claim could be made with certainty. The Panel found that the claims in the advertisement were unlawful, misleading, and unverified and breached the Therapeutic Goods Advertising Code.
The Panel therefore requested that we publish this retraction.
The full text of the Panel's determination can be found at: www.tgacrp.com.au/complaints
No other copy should be included in the advertisement.

For those of you on Google+, there are several useful extensions you can install the Google Chrome browser to make your Google+ experience easier and more effective.
If you don't have Chrome, I suggest you download and use it. It does seem better and quicker to me, and it generally integrates better with all of Google's services.
I've had a go on many of the available extensions, and have seen that some are useful, and others aren't really worth it. Here are my top 8 in no order that are worth installing, especially for freelancers using Google+ professionally.
For each of the following, click the name of the extension to be taken to a page where you can click '+ Add to Chrome' to install it.
1. SG Plus
This is useful for being able to see your Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and RSS streams inside your Google+ stream. The extension also provides options so that you can share your Google+ updates in Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn. Very useful.
2. Surplus
This is handy for displaying your notifications 'red square' in your browser from any web page, not just Google+.
It also allows you to create and respond to posts from within its popup, and read your notifications.
3. Replies and more for Google+
A nice tool that adds a 'reply to author' button underneath posts. This basically means it will tag the author of the post so that your comment goes directly to them.
4. Helper
With the ability to re-share posts to Twitter (as well as translate text, see desktop notifications, and bookmark to Delicious) this can be used as a handy 'retweet' tool.
This installs a '+1′ button next to the address bar in your Chrome browser, and means you can +1 any website (your seal of approval that can be seen by friends and contacts), even those whose webmaster hasn't added one.
6. Photo Zoom
Take the strain out of your eyes by using this extension to enlarge photos just by hovering over them.
This one improves the readability of posts and other sections in Google+ by defining edges more, as well as allowing you to star posts to read later. It just makes Google+ a little easier to use.
Here is a useful search directory for other Google+ users that you can add to your own circles, right from within your browser. You can specify quite focused search terms in finding people to network with, and be found by others.
As Google+ expands, and more people create more extensions, this list will be added to, and some extensions will probably fall off this list. I'd love you, the keen reader, to add any others you think help enhance your Google+ experience.
Thank you!

Snakebite (drink)
Served |
Commonly used ingredients |
Preparation | Mix in equal volumes in a standard pint glass. |
A snakebite is an alcoholic drink made with equal parts of lager and cider.
Snakebite in the United Kingdom may be served with a dash of blackcurrant squash, referred to as a snakebite and black.[1] Originally the 'black' would have been Cassis liqueur making the drink more potent and alcoholic. Stout may be used instead of lager in the United States.[2]
Snakebite and black is also known by the name diesel.[1][3] A stronger variant involves the addition of a shot of vodka, known as a turbo diesel.[4][5]
Availability in the UK[edit]
Snakebite is typically served in pints. In 2001, former US President Bill Clinton was refused a snakebite when he ordered one at the Old Bell Tavern in Harrogate, North Yorkshire.[6] A manager of the pub, Jamie Allen, stated: "It's illegal to serve it here in the UK, you see."[7]
Serving a snakebite from separate cider and lager taps or bottles is not illegal in the UK, despite sources that suggest otherwise.[8] It is however, served entirely at the publican's discretion.

Junior Competition Committee
Eligibility Requirements
USTA Membership
In order to credit player match results for Standings/Rankings purposes, players must possess a current USTA membership before registering for any tournament. Where TDM does not confirm that a player possesses a current, valid membership, Tournament Directors shall demand that a valid USTA membership card be presented at tournament check-in. USTA membership can be purchased by credit card on-line or by calling 1-800-990-USTA (8782). Information about membership benefits is available from the Mid-Atlantic Section office.
Age Eligibility
The USTA/Mid-Atlantic Section uses the same age-eligibility rule as USTA National. Junior players are able to play in an age division until the month of birth in the year in which they "age out" of their current age division. This means that players who are 10, 12, 14, 16, or 18 years old may continue to play in their age division until the last day of the month preceding the month in which they turn 11, 13, 15, 17, or 19, respectively. NOTE: The start date of a tournament determines the player's eligibility for that tournament.
Birth Certificate
The Section reserves the right to require players to submit a copy of their birth certificate or other proof of age that is acceptable to the Section.
Residency Requirements
Only players holding a current USTA membership card assigned to one of the Districts within Mid-Atlantic Section and who have established legal residency within USTA/MAS may play in a USTA/MAS Championship SUPER SIX SERIES (Levels 3 and 4+) or Challenger (Level 4) event. A player's legal residence shall be the domicile of that player's parents, or in the absence of a parent the player's legal guardian. Domicile is defined as the bona fide, true and permanent home of the player's parents or guardian. The USTA/Mid-Atlantic Section reserves the right to require proof of residency.
II. USTA/Mid-Atlantic Section Junior Tournaments
These events are open to all juniors in the Mid-Atlantic Section meeting the Residency Requirements set forth in Section I-D above.
Selection and seeding of USTA/MAS Section Junior tournaments is completed by the Mid-Atlantic Section office.
Selection and seeding of singles players and alternates into Junior tournaments will be determined strictly by a player's position on the most current USTA/MAS Standings List.
All singles matches are 2 out of 3 tie-break sets.
In singles events hosting a doubles draw, the seeding for the doubles will be based on the partners' combined Singles Standing.
Selection and seeding of doubles teams for
doubles only events
will be based on the sum of the partners' position on the Doubles Standings List (individual). Doubles are 8-game pro-sets, except for Championship #4 (see below). Please check the website regularly for the most current schedule information.
USTA/MAS Standings are based on a rolling 12-month calendar of tournament results and once published, will supersede the previous List. It is important to note that "available results" are tournament results that are published online and thus available to the USTA-MAS Standings program. Accurate weekly Standing lists are dependent on many conditions, including timely completion of tournament events (e.g., no weather delays) and how quickly the Tournament Director publishes results. The Districts of the Mid-Atlantic Section (VA, MD, WV and DC) make every effort to see that the results are published promptly but cannot guarantee that all results are available in time to meet Standings List publication deadlines every week.

These Sections are: Mid-Atlantic, Middle States, Eastern and New England. The Mid-Atlantic Section Quota for this event is eight (8) players per age division. Entry to this event will be determined by a player's Section Standing on the most recent Standing List prior to the deadline. A Singles Draw of 32, FIC and a Doubles draw of 16 teams, SE, will be held. The event will count as a Championship for Section Level L4+ Points, but not for National Points.
Non-Designated Doubles Only
The Section will offer some Championship Doubles Only tournaments that offer Level 4+ points for Section standing but do not offer national points. These will be indicated in the title as L4+ NL0. Draw format for these events is FIC; 8-game pro-sets; Draw limit = 16 teams.
District Events
Each District schedules events throughout the year at 4 levels as follows:
Level 5: District/State Championships; Some District Events – L5 (220 pts)
Level 6: Intermediate Level District Events – L6 (165 pts)
Level 7: Entry / Intermediate Level Events – L7 (110 pts)
In 2014, it is strongly recommended that L7 events in the 12U age division use the Green Ball; In 2015, the use of Green Ball for 12U events will be mandatory.
Level 8: Futures – L8 (Participation points only)

All age-eligible players who have played at least one tournament in an age division and have at least one match win in the division, will receive a Standing.
Bonus Points for wins over players in the top 100 of the Final Ranking List from the previous month will be added according to the point chart.
New Residents: Players whose families have moved to the Mid-Atlantic Section, holding a National Standing in the Top 150 of an age group, will be placed as 'Eligible' on the Mid-Atlantic Standing List, at a position commensurate with the rankings of adjacent players, {For example: A new player whose national standing is 89 will be placed on the MAS Weekly Standing List between 2 players who are ranked 72 and 105 on the National Standing List.} as long as the Parents can show proof of residency to the satisfaction of the Junior Competition Committee, such as (but not limited to):

Player must have at least 1 match win (played)
Player must enter and compete in at least 3* of the USTA/MAS SUPER SIX events in the 12 months preceding the publish date.
Enter and compete means that the player must enter the tournament and play until he or she is eliminated. Withdrawals and/or Defaults DO NOT COUNT as completing the tournament; Results will not be added to a player's Standing and would not qualify the player for inclusion on the Endorsement List.
If a player is unable to complete the tournament, it is recommended that the player retire.
*For 2014 USTA National Clay Court and Hard Court Endorsement Lists, two (2) of the USTA/MAS SUPER SIX events are required.
MAS/JCC Comment: The reason that Withdrawals and Defaults do not count toward a player's participation is to encourage play within the Section. A player shall not enter and then withdraw, expecting the event to count towards participation for Endorsement purposes.
Point Calculations
100 % of a Player's Best Six (6) Tournaments in an age division + 15% of a Player's Best Six Doubles in an age division are used to calculate a player's points.
For all ranking lists, Points count down one (1) age division as long as the player is age eligible for the younger age division and has at least 1 match win (played) in the younger age.
Bonus Points are added to a Player's results for a win over an opponent who is ranked in the Top 100 of the previous month's Final Ranking List -see point chart
Byes do not qualify as wins; Player must win the following match to earn points
Withdrawals qualify as wins for the advancing player and earn Points-Per-Round, but do not earn Bonus Points.
Retirements and Walkovers qualify as wins for the advancing player; earn Points-Per-Round; and if eligible, Bonus Points.
A player who advances because of a default that takes place before the commencement of the first point in the match or because the opponent is disqualified, shall receive Points-Per-Round for advancing, but shall not receive Bonus Points.
A player who is defaulted from a tournament for code violations under the Point Penalty System or misconduct forfeits any points accumulated during the tournament.

Tournament Regulations
Online Entry Acceptance
We urge all players to register online and refer to the tournament home page for pertinent information regarding registration, draws, scoring, hotels, directions and weather updates.
For Section Levels L3, L4+ and L4, LATE ENTRIES WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.
For tournaments with limited draw size, entries will be based on the players' positions on the most current Mid-Atlantic Standing List.
Making the Draw(s)
The making of the draw for all USTA/MAS Junior Tournaments is the responsibility of the Tournament Referee, assisted by at least one but preferably two members of the Tournament Committee.
The Section uses the Computerized List Method of seeding, based on the most currently published Standings List.
The number of seeded players shall be a power of 2 (1, 2, 4, 8, 16); the maximum ratio shall be 1:3, except that any tournament may have 1 seed.
Draws will be published on the Wednesday prior to every Friday/Saturday start date for SUPER SIX and Challenger tournaments, barring extenuating circumstances.
USTA Tournament Regulations as found in the Friend at Court establish formal guidelines for scheduling junior tournament match play. While USTA/MAS requires Tournament Directors to adhere to these Guidelines in planning their events, circumstances can and do arise that require Referees to exercise their authority to revise the schedule in a manner consistent with the Guidelines. Generally, the USTA scheduling guidelines provide:
For Ages 10, 12 & 14 Boys and Girls
No match shall start nor a suspended match be resumed after 8 pm.
No player shall play more than two singles matches or one singles and two doubles matches in any one day in one age division where standard scoring, two out of three sets, and 12-point tiebreaker apply.
(Exception: For all Level 4 and Level 4+ tournaments, to complete the tournament in 3 days, the Referee may schedule up to two (2) singles matches and two (2) doubles matches per day.)
Other match formats are excluded from this rule.
Players should be given a minimum of 12 hours rest between the completion of play of their last match of any day and the start of play of their first match of the following day.
These limitations shall not apply for players entering more than one age group in the same tournament.
For Ages 16 and 18 Boys and Girls
No match should start nor a suspended match be resumed after 10 pm.
No player should play more than three matches per day, no more than two of which shall be singles where standard scoring, two out of three sets, and 12-point tiebreaker apply.
(Exception: For all Level 4 and Level 4+ tournaments, to complete the tournament in 3 days, the Referee may schedule up to two (2) singles matches and two (2) doubles matches per day.)
Other match formats are excluded from this rule.
These limitations shall not apply for players entering more than one age group in the same tournament.
Tournament Withdrawal
A player desiring to withdraw from a tournament after the entry deadline has passed must notify the Tournament Director (TD) in writing. Fax or e-mail is acceptable. Sending a copy of the communication to the MAS office is appreciated, but does not alleviate the player of the responsibility to notify the TD directly.
Refunds are NOT required after the tournament deadline.
Except for Tournament Administration Error
After play has started, a player who does not intend to play the next match (complete the tournament), shall notify the tournament director in writing within one (1) hour of the end of the previous match of his/her intention not to play. Failure to do so will result in a Default/no show code for the match; five (5) penalty points on a player's record; loss of points for the tournament; and the event will not count toward the player's Endorsement List eligibility.
MAS/JCC Comment: In 2013, several situations occurred in which the player failed to notify the tournament director and the opponent, resulting in additional hotel bills and loss of time for the opponent. The Committee considers this action extremely unsportsmanlike. If the player is unable to complete or participate in the next match, it is strongly recommended that the player retires.
USTA National Junior Events
Endorsement and Selection to National Events
The MID-ATLANTIC ENDORSEMENT LIST will be used to determine which players are in the Mid-Atlantic QUOTA.
FOR NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS , Players who are on the weekly Standing List will be included in the Endorsement List as long as:
The player must enter and compete in at least THREE (3) Mid-Atlantic Section Designated Level 3 or 4+
Tournaments, known as SUPER 700 or SUPER 660, before the deadline for publishing the Endorsement List. (Except that, in 2014, you must complete TWO (2) before the Summer Endorsement Lists and complete the third before the Winter Nationals Endorsement List.)
Enter and compete' means that a player must enter the tournament and play until he/she is eliminated.
Withdrawals or Defaults DO NOT COUNT as completing the tournament. Results would not be added to a player's Standing and would not qualify the player for inclusion on the Endorsement List. Per USTA Regulation IV.C.12-17., a player shall not enter a tournament intending to withdraw.
If the Endorsement List Deadline falls during a designated tournament in which a player is competing and using as a qualifying tournament, the Section shall consider that the player has met the Endorsement List requirement.
An Endorsement List will be published on the Tuesday immediately prior to the National Regional Tournament Deadline; or as requested by National Player Development.
The most current Standing List will be published as the Endorsement List, minus players who will age out prior to the event.
Various Sections and private organizations coordinate "Invitational" events and offer Sections the opportunity to enter players or a team. Where USTA/MAS agrees to participate in such events, players are selected based on their position on the current Standings List after considering any specific selection criteria stipulated by the event organizers and the need for time-certain commitments. For example, if an invitational event is available for boys and girls with national Standings greater than 100, then the first boy (or girl) offered a place on the USTA/MAS team is the player whose current Standing is #101. That child is contacted regarding the opportunity and given a set period of time in which to commit to participate. If the child accepts, his/her place on the team is guaranteed. If the child declines or fails to commit by the stated deadline, then the next player in the Standings (#102) is contacted. This procedure is repeated until all positions have been filled.
Note: The Junior Competition Committee (JCC) has final approval on all players selected to National and or Team events. The JCC may decline to endorse a player's participation in any National or Team event where that player (or related party) has exhibited unacceptable personal behavior, poor sportsmanship, withdrawal after selection of players has been determined, or any acts determined detrimental to the game.

Need for mental health care of indigent Montanans has grown faster than funding.
As a result, the Mental Health Center in Billings has stopped taking on new clients for the Mental Health Services Plan, according to Executive Director Barbara Mettler. That state-funded program was created to help low-income Montanans with serious mental illnesses who don't qualify for Medicaid. The plan has never been an entitlement; it is limited to the amount of money appropriated by the biennial Legislature.
"We are going to have waiting lists," said Yellowstone County Commissioner Bill Kennedy, who chairs the Mental Health Center Board. "We are in dire straits again. We have had growth in the community, but the dollars have not grown with the community."
The Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services makes quarterly block grants to the four regional community health centers for most of the Mental Health Services Plan care they provide. That pool of money has come up short for the Billings center, which serves 11 south-central counties.
There are remedies for this mental health care gap. Unfortunately, none will be fast enough to help needy people this fall.
- The Mental Health Center should assist clients whose income is above poverty level with signing up for federally subsidized private health insurance on the new exchange. Coverage won't start until Jan. 1.
- The Montana Legislature should adopt the Medicaid expansion proposal Gov. Steve Bullock backed in the 2013 session. The Medicaid expansion rejected by the 2013 Legislature would have covered people with incomes up to 138 percent of poverty level, including about 90 percent of those now eligible for the Mental Health Services Plan, according to DPHHS. The Legislature is scheduled to reconvene in January 2015.
- DPHHS is working on a federal Medicaid waiver that would cover a limited number of Montanans who have major depression. If that effort is successful, some people who have been eligible for the Mental Health Services Plan would shift to Medicaid.
- The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs needs to pay up. As of last week, VA was $220,000 in arrears with some bills dating back to January. The center has a contract with VA to provide outpatient services to veterans in the 11-county region. Services to veterans will continue despite the VA's slow payment, said Mettler.
Much of the Mental Health Center cash crunch appears to be a symptom of insufficient communication between community mental health centers and state officials.
We call on Gov. Steve Bullock and DPHHS Director Richard Opper to work collaboratively with the mental health centers based in Billings, Miles City, Missoula and Great Falls.
Mental health access is a taxpayer issue. When the Mental Health Center doesn't have money to see needy outpatients, we all pay. Those who don't get help when needed get worse and are more likely to wind up in the state psychiatric hospital at Warm Springs.
Nearly every week, The Gazette reports on efforts to reduce the state's terribly high suicide rate. One of the reasons why our state has one of the worst suicide rates is lack of timely access to affordable mental health care.
This gap in the mental health safety net is a life-or-death matter for Montanans.

Boys cross country: Morgan Twp.'s Alec Kostelnik named P-T Runner of the Year
By DAVE MELTON Post-Tribune correspondent November 28, 2012 11:26PM
Alec Kostelnik, a senior running for Morgan Township High School, left, and Ari Coulopoulos, a junior running for Valparaiso High School, leave the stage after receiving their medals for finishing 11th and 15th respectively. The 67th Annual IHSAA Boy's Cross Country State Finals was held at The LaVern Gibson Championship Cross Country Course in Terre Haute Saturday, October 27, 2012. | Doug McSchooler~for the Post-Tribune
Updated: December 30, 2012 3:58PM
VALPARAISO — When a sport acts more like a family trait, it usually doesn't take long for the "bug" to bite into the mind of a growing athlete and spur him into competition.
For Morgan Township senior Alec Kostelnik, however, the running bug remained dormant for the first decade of his life.
"I was a basketball and a baseball player," he recalled. "I was all right, but I wasn't anything special."
Alec's uncle Todd had been an all-state runner at Valparaiso in 1993 and his father, Sean, was an all-state runner at Kankakee Valley in 1988 and continued that career into college at Morehead State. It wasn't until Alec was near middle school that he got into running.
"I didn't know what he was going to do at first," said Sean Kostelnik. "I talked him into running cross country in sixth grade and I don't think he enjoyed it all that much. That next year was a little bit better and in eighth grade he seemed to catch the running bug."
Four years later, Kostelnik had developed into one of the best runners in the state and worthy of the title 2012 Post-Tribune Runner of the Year.
It was during the 2011 season that Kostelnik started turning heads, as he ended his junior season with a 10th-place finish at the state meet. As an encore in his senior season, Kostelnik won his sectional and semistate races and took second at regional. In the 2012 state meet, Kostelnik dropped three seconds off of his 2011 time — down to 15:42 — but finished in 11th place.
The first words from Kostelnik's mouth after the race, when asked how he felt during the final stretch, were: "My legs felt terrible." But a month later, Kostelnik wasn't sulking over the results.
"It's not anything I can hang my head about," he said. "I wish I could've done better but I just did what I could."
One more season awaits Kostelnik, and he said he'll be looking for some redemption when track begins in the spring.
"I didn't have the season I wanted to, so I'm really motivated for track season. I just want to run faster than I did last year."
After track season, Kostelnik will continue his running career at IUPUI, joining five other local runners: Jacob Baranowski (Highland), David Dailey (Michigan City), Ryan Cutter (Chesterton), Dakota Dubbs (LaPorte) and 2011 Post-Tribune Runner of the Year Mitch Hubner (LaPorte).
After coaching his son through middle school and high school, Sean Kostelnik now has a chance to impart more wisdom on his son, as the younger Kostelnik prepares for a new level of competition —and training.
"One of my goals while coaching him was to get him ready for college," said Sean Kostelnik. "Sometimes college can be a big shock. You'll go from running 60-70 miles per week up to 100-plus miles. It was a big deal. If you don't do certain types of training in high school to prepare you for that, then it can get you discouraged real quick and then you give up the sport."
Kostelnik called it a "huge help" to have someone with knowledge of the cross country experience. "I know that if I have any problems, then I have someone that I can relate with."
Another family "bug" has caught the young Kostelnik in high school, as he spends half of his school day at Wheeler High School taking classes on law enforcement. Sean Kostelnik currently serves as a police officer in Valparaiso.
Whether it's been in sports or in careers, for these two Kostelniks, it's been: like father, like son.

Groups are offered on a year-round basis. When one group ends, another group begins a few weeks later. Registration is always open.
A parent or guardian must complete a registration form. This form can be filled out electronically or printed and filled out. The form can be brought to the Outpatient Department, mailed, faxed or sent via email to: email@example.com.
Bradley Hospital Outpatient Department1011 Veterans Memorial ParkwayEast Providence, RI 02915Fax: 401-432-1506
Typically your child will have to wait about three months to start a group from the time the registration form is received. The amount of time depends upon the size of the wait list and could be shorter or longer in some cases.
No. Groups are filled on a first come, first served basis and children are matched according to age, level of need and whether the group is appropriate for the needs of the child or family.
Registration forms will be reviewed carefully by the clinician leading each group. We will confirm receipt of your registration via mail, email or telephone. If your child or family is considered appropriate for the group, you will be contacted to schedule an initial evaluation. If your child or family is not considered appropriate for the group you will also be notified.
This depends on many factors, including the type and severity of your child's difficulties and their current level of functioning. Those with higher severity or who are currently in crisis are typically not appropriate for group. However, if other supports are in place, group therapy might be a viable option. A clinician will talk with you and/or your child to determine if group therapy is appropriate for the level of need.
A "good candidate" for group is a child or parent who is willing to participate in group-based therapy. Children often have some reservations about attending a group. However, those who are willing to participate are generally able to benefit more from this kind of therapy. A clinician will talk with your child about their reservations or concerns during the initial evaluation and help your family determine if group therapy is appropriate for you and your child .
Your insurance will be billed for the initial evaluation. Those who are invited to attend the group will also be billed for each group therapy session. Your usual co-payment, coinsurance and deductibles will apply to all appointments. For those without health insurance, a self-pay fee scheduled is available upon request. All groups require a one-time $25 materials fee.
If you are concerned that your child is currently at risk of harming her/himself or others, please call 911 or contact the Bradley Hospital Access Center at 401-432-1364.

Hi there;
We live in a cabin on a small mountain {approx. 1400' elevation} in the lower Hudson Valley. The bottom of our mountain is pretty much surburbs like...But up here is a different world. We're between a small waterfall...falling into a brook...falling into a pool {Not swimable}on one side of our cabin. There is another brook on the other side of our cabin also. All of our gardens are raised using stone and rock. We grow hugh amount of rocks and boulders each and every year, faster than any other plants in our gardens...and we harvest and use them all. LOL We don't get frost in our hollow due to some pheonomenum of of the moving air between the 2 brooks and falls..But still very cold in winter..about 10 to 15 degrees lower than 5 min to bottom of mountain. sometimes we get a lot of snow when two trails below get rain. BUT..We're also cooler in summer for the same reason..Nice huh? Just really into gardening up here for a few years. Had beautiful gardens years ago in another location, but have not really been able to get back into it until recently. I'm sure you all know that it's somthing in our genes and part of our soul. Gardening is my medication and meditation for everything..The best cure-all. I've been a lurker for a few months now and hope to get to know all of the other gardeners soon...The Greatest, most helpful and knowledgeable group of people on the web.
