Texas suspect rammed cruiser, punched officer
A man suspected of dealing methamphetamine resisted arrest, punching an officer before he was subdued
By Guillermo Contreras
San Antonio Express-News
SAN ANTONIO — A San Antonio police officer reportedly was punched in the face by a drug suspect who is also accused of ramming an undercover squad car.
Court records do not give the officer's full name but said he suffered a bloody nose when Dionicio Trevino, age unavailable, punched him during a bust early Tuesday. Trevino and another man with him, Nicholas Arevalos, were arrested on a federal charge of possessing methamphetamine.
Trevino had been under investigation, suspected of dealing meth. Officers watched as he drove a 2010 Chrysler 300, and with Arevalos, meet with another person at an unspecified restaurant and then return to a hotel where Trevino was staying, a Marriott Courtyard on Northeast Loop 410, a criminal complaint affidavit said.
They were carrying Whataburger bags, went inside and returned to the car with a white bag, the affidavit said.
Officers pulled the car over for a traffic infraction on Perrin Beitel Road, north of Loop 410, the affidavit said. Trevino stopped the car, but then drove off, and the Chrysler hit the driver's side of an undercover police car in the process, the affidavit said.
After again being stopped, Trevino would not put his hands in the air as ordered. Officers broke the Chrysler's driver's side window, and tried to arrest Trevino. During the struggle, he punched an officer and had to be subdued on the ground, the affidavit said.
Officers searched the car and found 218 grams, or about half a pound, of meth, along with a loaded .380-caliber pistol and $850 in cash. They also found $1,200 and a drug ledger on Trevino and $2,000 on Arevalos, the affidavit said.
Both appeared in federal court Wednesday and were ordered held without bail pending hearings.

Have put a lot of effort into identifying this JM myself with no success.. Got it last November from a lot that was being razed, where it was was growing in full shade under canopy of mature trees. Now it's in my front yard. Stands 16' tall, has green bark, leaves are small palmate. Has not gone red yet this year but we have only have 2 frosts so far. The fall color last year was an extremely vivid, striking fire engine red. I have posted spring, summer and late fall pictures along with leaves. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts! |

As one major grower of JM's states on their website: "There are things that are absolute in life such as death and taxes. Unfortunately being able to visually identify a specific Japanese maple cultivar with 100% certainty isn't one of them!" There are more than a 1000 registered cultivars of JM's which contributes to the complication of this process, not to mention some of them offer such subtle differences as to be virtually impossible to differentiate unless an expert.......and even they have a very hard time. Chances are very good that this is just a species JM and if you are unable to discern any sign of a graft, that chance escalates to near 100%. All named forms/cultivars of Japanese maples must be grafted or otherwise propagated asexually - any seed grown JM will just be a form of the species. No cultivar name. |

Mediating a Custody Crisis Can Be Better than Going Back to Court
Absent substantiated claims of abuse by the father or some other significant shortcoming in fulfilling his role as father, the court would not likely approve a substantial reduction in his time based upon his children expressing a preference for their mom. At least not for kids under 15, which is when the court begins to defer to the wishes of the child.
Read ArticleDivorce Presents Many with the Opportunity for Fresh Start
Divorce is, quite literally, a termination point. A union of two lives, whether over several years or just a few months, comes to an end with the strike of a judge's gavel. At that moment, one road travelled together ends and two new roads must be built and navigated separately.
Read ArticleDivorcing Couples Can Save a Lot of Money with Mediation
One of the hardest things about divorce is its cost, not just emotionally and psychologically, but in cold hard cash. A typical scenario is a husband, wife and two attorneys. Add the expense of outside experts if there are disputes over who can better parent their children or the valuation of an asset such as a business that one or both owns, and the bottom line is fees well into five figures for each party.

Involving the police usually solves the problem, if the police will intervene on your behalf. Sometimes, though, they are reluctant to step into what they see as a squabble between private parties, not realizing that their reluctance emboldens the recalcitrant spouse to push the envelope further.

A wage assignment is a great first step for anyone with a delinquent "ex", particularly one that's steadily employed for someone else.

Stepparents, grandparents, siblings and others parenting children not their own were especially vulnerable should the child's natural parent(s) decide to end that relationship.

With the way human reproduction works, there is rarely controversy about the mother's identity. The birth certificate states who is the mother.

When that question arises, the only conclusive determination is through testing matching up the DNA characteristics of child, mother and father.

Read Article"Bad" Spouses Are Rarely Punished. Getting on with Your Life Is the Prize in Most Divorces
Family Court judges spend much of their day hearing the awful things warring spouses say and do to each other.

Read ArticleDating while Divorcing
The reason divorce lawyers counsel against dating while the divorce is pending, even if separated, is that it has the potential to increase both the cost and the stress of the divorce trial. You are not supposed to date if you are married. Judges, however, rarely punish someone who begins dating—sexually or otherwise—once they have physically separated from their spouse.

Discussing the need for both the US Senate and the Russian Duma to ratify the nuclear disarmament treaty Presidents Obama and Medvedev agree to earlier today, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said that the US has offered the Russians some special help.
"Just as we have to go to our Congress, President Medvedev has to go to the Duma," Clinton said. "And I think President Obama has said that he would, you know, send Rahm Emanuel to Moscow."
With reporters laughing at Clinton's joke about sending the famously acid-tongued White House chief of staff to Moscow, Clinton added, "and we all immediately endorsed that offer. If President Medvedev wants to take us up on it, we're ready."
Before he left journalism to become the communications director for Vice President Biden, former TIME magazine bureau chief Jay Carney wrote about the Emanuel-Clinton relationship: "Emanuel started out with Clinton in the 1992 campaign as a fundraiser. He was relentless and successful. By January 1993, he'd moved up the ladder in Clinton's world to the point at which he was named White House political director. In that job, he offended enough people — in particular Hillary Clinton — that he was demoted and almost fired. But he stuck around, worked hard and ended up being the primary force behind some of the biggest legislative successes of Clinton's presidency: the North American Free Trade Agreement, the so-called crime bill and welfare reform."

Actually, I played Twitch and stacked phantom dancers, and it was pretty intense, I could kill towers faster than anyone else on my team and could easily escape when I was attacked in return (480+ base movement speed with stealth and ghost will do that for you). Of course the catch to this was that any battle that involved more than one person on the opposing team managed to kill me in seconds, but hey, thats what you get for playing twitch. I wouldn't say that he is too unbalanced, the only part that I am opposed to is ranged stealthy heroes, because that is kinda cheap, but it isn't that bad. My Breakdown on Twitch: One on one Twitch will give you surprise buttsecks. In a team fight he just keels over and dies. He is pretty good at killing towers, especially while there is a team fight going on somewhere else.
Twitch's ult is ****, and eventually I hope they rework it. He is only good for taking out towers and backdooring.
My thoughts on this, no champ should have an ability that can destroy a tower from full hp and not risk anything while doing it. Its all reward with no risk. Honestly, how hard would it be to make his range that of the turrents...
Twitch is a ****ing MONSTER! Yes he is complete squish and susceptible to stun + focus fire (most non-tanks are btw) but a good twitch is going to present little opportunity for that. If he is coupled with someone that has an aoe disable like Amumu or Malphite, he can spray your whole team damn team down. I thought he was fairly balanced before they buffed the **** out of his ult. Its just too crazy now in team fights. Even if your team has oracle pots he is still a threat and a good twitch is going to know whether or not you have them. If you haven't seen a twitch dominate a game, you should play more (assuming you are trying to get good at this game). And to Truhls, the main guy in this thread swearing up and down that he owns twitch...he has only won 3 games so lets not take anything he says to heart.

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. – Florida Memorial is advancing to the NAIA Men's Soccer National Championships after a big win over top-seeded St. Thomas (STU) this weekend that resulted in them winning the Sun Conference Men's Soccer Championships at Bobcat Field.
"We just beat a top 25 nationally ranked team. What our boys have done is remarkable and cannot be overstated," said FMU Head Men's Soccer Coach Fernando Valenzuela. "We do not have any seniors in our starting lineup. These kids have made their mark on FMU history with this victory. The example they have set for years to come is huge."
St. Thomas (12-4-1), the three-time Sun Conference champions, was no match for the seventh-seeded Florida Memorial (8-10). The Lions blanked the Bobcats and finished with a 2-0 victory. FMU's Jose Bazterrica scored the game-winning goal in the first minute of the game on a header off a cross by Martin Scapparone. The score remained 1-0 until "an own goal" by St. Thomas gave the Lions a 2-0 lead with 15 minutes to play in regulation.
"I commend Coach Valenzuela for building a highly-skilled and competitive team. Our kids play to win," said Robert Smith, FMU athletic director. "We believe in our team, so, it was no surprise that they won the conference."
FMU goalkeeper Pablo Terminiello recorded the shutout. St. Thomas had 13 shots on goal, yet only two required saves by Terminiello. St. Thomas goalkeeper Lyle Howe made nine saves and allowed one goal on 11 shots on goal by the Lions. The university's athletic chief has a stern warning for competitors.
"We are the most dangerous team in the tournament. If I were coaching another team, I would be afraid to coach against FMU. I would not want to play us," Smith said.
Florida Memorial beat the odds en route to the conference championship. The championship run began with a win at No. 2-seeded SCAD Savannah on Nov. 3 in the tournament quarterfinals. The Lions defeated the Bees on 5-4 on penalty kicks in a game that ended in a 1-1 tie. The Lions moved on to the Sun Conference final four hosted by regular season champion St. Thomas. The eventual champions defeated Embry-Riddle 2-0 on Friday, setting up Saturday's championship game vs. the top-seeded Bobcats.
"I am very proud of our team. We have scaled a higher mountain," Valenzuela added.
The Lions are now headed to play Auburn University at Montgomery (Ala.) in the NAIA Men's National Championship. The tournament comprises 32 teams and the competition continues until there is one winner.

iPads flying high with Qantas pilots
PUBLISHED: 13 Jul 2012 09:53:02 | UPDATED: 14 Jul 2012 02:36:05PUBLISHED: 14 Jul 2012 PRINT EDITION: 14 Jul 2012Brian Corrigan
Qantas pilots are to be issued with iPads after the airline struck a deal with Telstra. Apple's popular tablet will eventually be handed out to more than 2200 pilots, with those flying its 737 fleet to get the first batch in September.
The gadgets will be used on the flight deck to access charts, flight plans, manuals and other operational information. The deal is still subject to regulatory approval.
It is also expected to massively reduce the airline's use of paper. Qantas currently prints 18,000 pages of flight operations every day but expects this will be reduced to 3000 pages once all of the iPads have been issued.
Each of the devices will have two apps installed that have been custom-built for the cockpit – one for charts designed by Boeing subsidiary Jeppesen, the other developed internally by Qantas for all other information its pilots need to have at hand.
Alex Passerini, a Qantas technical pilot, said replacing cumbersome hard copies would save time, reduce costs and improve the airline's use of resources.
"This initiative is a response to strong demand from our pilots for a simpler, more efficient system, and follows extensive testing and development work, including close consultation with the Civil Aviation Safety Authority," Captain Passerini said in a statement.
Telstra's group managing director for enterprise and government, Paul Geason, said the iPad program was a perfect example of how technology could improve productivity and efficiency.
It is expected to take about three or four weeks to get iPads into the hands of pilots on each Qantas fleet. Pilots will still carry some paperwork to the flight deck as they get to know the new systems.
Qantas has previously used Apple equipment as part of attempts to differentiate itself from rival airline Virgin Australia. It installed Mac computers in members' lounges across the country in late 2010.

Le père est un grand home maigre, habillé du noir, avec un col dur. Il a le milieu du crâne chauve et deux touffes de cheveuc gris, à droite et à gauche. Des petits yeux ronds et durs, un nez mince, une bouche horizontale, lui donnent l'air d'une chouette bien élevée. Il arrive toujours le premier à la porte du restaurant, s'efface, laisse passer sa femme, menue comme une souris noire, et entre alors avec, sur les talons, un petit garçon et une petite fille habillés comme des chiens savants. Arrivé à sa table, il attend que sa femme ait pris place, s'assied, et les deux caniches peuvent enfin se percher sur leurs chaises. Il dit > à sa femme et a ses entants, débite des méchancetes polies à la première et des paroles définitives aux héritiers: > Et la petite fille est prête à plaurer. C'est ce qu'il faut.

Les deux caniches on piqué le nez dans leur pâtée et la chouette a remercié d'un signe de tête qui n'en disait pas long. Le Peste, page 25 I enjoyed reading The Plague by Camus. A short story in a style I found similar to Kafka in many ways. I enjoyed the suspense and good start of the story and the characters we were introduced to were all believable and real. Having travelled quite a bit in my life and being away from family/friends, I could relate well to how Camus wrote about longing and being separated from family for long periods. Another meaning I gather from the story is also the purpose of striving for good and benefit of society, despite conditions that may seem pointless or overwhelming. Human beings tend to cling to convenient obliviousness - 'I haven't seen it, so it can't really exist!' - in spite of embarrassing, burgeoning bodies of evidence to the contrary. In order for this comfortable bliss of ignorance to be maintained, it follows that any flagging up of the problem will be met with denial: so naturally you get accusations of lying, or exaggeration. These aren't always intentionally unkind - I think they're often motivated by a horrified inability to accept the severity of the problem as by a deliberate attempt at dismissal. - Laura Bates, Everyday Sexism
This quote explains perfectly the ignoring of all the warning signs in The Plague, especially by Dr. Rieux and his colleagues. A stampeding immigration of thousands of infected, dying rats doesn't raise an alarm, really?! A riveting 100-page opener filled with realistic personal, medical, social, and legal observations and their emotional repercussions was followed by an increasingly introspective and philosophical narrative and dialogue. Unfortunately I wasn't as enamoured with the slower paced latter than I was the action-packed former. However, it does perfectly reflect the tiresome nature of the plague: being imprisoned in the town under quarantined conditions, unable to leave or communicate with the outside world, separating friends and family. The stifling heat of summer, the inescapable smell of burning bodies and the only news of note being the number of dead that day, becomes insufferable, but the people must endure for they have no choice. All emotions are heightened in the face of the apocalyptic nature of the plague, randomly killing everyone around you - fear, depression, desperation. One could've even take solace in their pets as they're exterminated in case they spread the disease, which deprives one old man of his favourite pastime - spitting on cats. (Haha! Sorry, I'm a dog-person.) This story of triumph and tragedy covers 8 months (Apr 16 to Jan 25) and is set in 1940s Algeria, and by the end I was just as exhausted and tired of the plague as Oran's residents, Dr. Rieux especially. *Read the translation by Robin Buss. **Read as part of The Dead Writers Society's Around the World challenge. (review originally written for bookslut) To be perfectly honest, I was more that prepared to dislike The Plague -- I was actually relishing the idea of hating it. Let's just say that my first encounter with Camus, The Stranger, did not go well. That book was one of the most annoying and frustrating reading experiences of my young life, second only to Ethan Frome, the book I love most to hate. But based on the amount of respect given to Camus by friends whose opinions in books I usually trust, I knew I had to give him a second chance. It was indeed possible that The Stranger was an incredibly interesting book, and that there was only something about my state of mind at the time that kept me from appreciating its subtle nuances. As much as I wanted to believe that, the thought of picking up and reading it again filled me with a sick sense of dread. So I chose an alternate route: I read The Plague, instead. From the beginning, I sat in a state of anticipatory judgement of the book. I didn't want to like Camus. And the beginning of the book just did not win me over. Having both seen and read Stephen King's The Stand, and read entirely too many brutal and thorough books on the AIDS epidemic, it was highly unlikely that any description Camus might give of the plague would shock or move me much in comparison. As his book is set in relatively modern times, there was also not the shock of general filth and sewage running in the streets that might have been present in other accounts of plague. If shock or horror would not draw me into the book, I didn't anticipate compassion to do so either. As in The Stranger, the characters of The Plague are not an emotive bunch. The doctor, Rieux, watches hundreds die every day and is separated from his wife for the duration of the plague -- he grinds on. His closest friend, Tarrou, keeps a detailed journal comprised entirely of observations of other people, the only personal details he records come very near the end of the plague, when he is presumably too exhausted to censor himself. "Well," one might say, "those are men, those were different times, you can't expect men to express their emotions, what about the women?" What about the women? What an excellent question! The only women in the book are the exiled wives from whom, conveniently, nothing can be heard, and Rieux's mother, who is even less emotive than Rieux himself. I might have set the book aside entirely had it not been assigned for me to read for the 100 books list, and for that I am grateful. Because after plowing doggedly through the first three parts of the novel, it was in the fourth that the book finally set its hooks into my chest. In a brief moment of respite, Tarrou and Rieux sit on a terrace overlooking the town, and Tarrou tells Rieux how he came to be the man that he is. I don't want to spoil anything for anyone, so I will just say that Tarrou finally gave me something to identify with and a reason to be involved in the book. His struggle as an athiest pacifist riveted me, and from that point on I could hardly bear to put the book down. Unfortunately, there was little left to the book after that point, but it was enough. I was converted. I could finally agree with all of those who consider Camus to be a great author. But will I ever give The Stranger another try? Perhaps in a few more years.... My first (and, so far, only) Camus novel. It's a dark, sad journey down from the very first illness. There are no twists; every plot twist, every spoiler, is well-foreshadowed and (if you're paying attention) evident long before they're revealed. I do not speak or read French (much to my own chagrin), so I read Gilbert's English translation. I'm not sure how true this version stays to the original, but I must commend Mr. Gilbert as there are passages which are poetry, pure and simple. no reviews | add a review Is contained inThe Plague / The Trial by Albert Camus Obras completas by Albert Camus " Postoronnii".

Wikipedia in EnglishNone Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0679720219, Paperback)The Nobel prize-winning Albert Camus, who died in 1960, could not have known how grimly current his existentialist novel of epidemic and death would remain. Set in Algeria, in northern Africa, The Plague is a powerful study of human life and its meaning in the face of a deadly virus that sweeps dispassionately through the city, taking a vast percentage of the population with it.(retrieved from Amazon Mon, 30 Sep 2013 14:04:44 -0400) Chaos prevails when the bubonic plague strikes the Algerian coastal city of Oran. A haunting tale of human resilience in the face of unrelieved horror, Camus' novel about a bubonic plague ravaging the people of a North African coastal town is a classic of twentieth-century literature.… (more) |

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.

What's the status of this?

FYI I am taking f/c on this, and am going to add in the point about
political legitimacy and the support of the Arab League.
Imo it doesn't matter if the AL as an institution has flip flopped so
long as the US and other members of the coalition can point to continued
support from some Arab countries moving ahead. I have yet to see UAE or
Qatar renege. As long as they're sending planes, even if it's just a
symbolic show of force, that qualifies as "Arab support."
I think Amr Moussa as an individual is trying to play to the Egyptian
masses by showing that he "stood up" to the West when it started doing
things that went beyond the establishment of a NFZ. Remember that the
Egyptian youth are not fans of the US, as evidenced by the fact that
their leaders refused to meet with Hillary when she came to town last
week. Good way for him to score political points. But I am not sold
enough on this to include in the piece besides a passing mention that
he's running for president.
Read this excerpt from a recent FT piece below:
But in weighing its first new military undertaking, the Obama
administration has insisted that the U.N. and the Arab League be at the
center of the military effort. U.N. Security Council Resolution 1973 --
which establishes a no-fly zone over Libya and grants sweeping authority
to foreign militaries to protect civilians in Libya -- requires that
states intending to use force consult with Secretary General Ban Ki moon
and the Arab League chief, Amr Moussa on their operations. Susan E.
Rice, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, further insisted in a
closed door meeting of the Security Council that the U.S. would only
participate in enforcing a no-fly zone over Libya if Arab governments
also participated.

The Arab League's secretary general Amr Moussa called an
emergency meeting Mar. 20 after criticizing the bombing campaign
against Libya, saying that it went beyond the more limited no
fly zone endorsed by his organization earlier in the month.

The League, which includes Arab states from the Persian Gulf to
Northwest Africa, includes many countries that have been wracked
by internal unrest in recent months. And this plays a
significant part in the whole idea of the Arab League calling
for the establishment and enforcement of a NFZ in the first
place. While many in the Arab League have their own records of
brutality against civilians and aggressive management of
internal dissent, there is an incentive to differentiate and
distinguish themselves from Ghaddafi. By coming out against him,
they can attempt to appear to be coming down on the 'right'
But there is also deep concern about being seen to support
another western war in the Arab world. As the full scope of
bombing and airstrikes that a comprehensive suppression of enemy
air defenses campaign, destruction of command, control and
communications capabilities and the targeting of military forces
outside Benghazi entails has become more apparent, the fear of
the latter may be rapidly eclipsing the former, especially since
there was merely lukewarm support for a NFZ in the first place.
Countries like Syria, Yemen and Algeria, in particular, were
worried not only about setting a precedent for foreign-led
military ousters of unpopular Arab leaders. Moreover, Syria and
Algeria are nervous about the prospect of Egypt benefiting from
the Libyan crisis and expanding its influence over the
energy-rich Libyan east.
Ultimately, the Arab League has one voice, but it encompasses an
enormous spectrum of countries with widely divergent and at
times contradictory interests. Qatar and UAE appear set to
continue to contribute combat aircraft, symbolic though it may
be, as they are less vulnerable to the unrest that has wracked
the region. Saudi, Bahrain and other Gulf States are far more
concerned about the impact of perceptions on their internal
crisis and struggle with Iran than anything that happens in
Libya itself. Egypt on the other hand, has the most at stake

the current Libyan crisis and thus has reportedly been heavily
involved in the arming and training of anti-Ghadafi rebels in
the east. Even if the ousting of Ghadafi cannot be achieved and
east-west split in the country endures, Egypt wants to position
itself to reclaim influence in the eastern Libyan region of

Deep Sea Cabernet Sauvignon Paso Robles 2011

The year 2011 was an interesting year for many northern and central European countries, as the weather was more than unpredictable in the spring and summer. However, in most countries, the climatic conditions thankfully settled down in the late summer and fall. The result of this slightly difficult year of weather in France was a set of surprisingly small yields, but overall, these yields were of a higher quality than those harvested in certain previous years. A fantastic set of wines was also made in Italy and Spain, and the Rioja wines - when released - are set to be very good indeed. Austria also had superb year in 2011, with almost fifty percent more grapes being grown and used for their distinctive Gruner Veltliner wines than in the year before. Possibly the European country which had the finest 2011, though, was Portugal, with wineries in the Douro region claiming this year to be one of the best in decades for the production of Port wine, and the bright, young Vinho Verdes wines. In the New World, the Pacific Northwest saw some of the best weather of 2011, and Washington State and Oregon reportedly had a highly successful year, especially for the cultivation of high quality red wine grapes. Chile and Argentina had a relatively cool year, which certainly helped retain the character of many of their key grape varietals, and should make for some exciting drinking. South Africa had especially good weather for their white wine grape varietals, particularly Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc, and many South African wineries are reporting 2011 as one of their best years in recent memory.
There is little doubt about the fact that the most familiar red wine grape varietal in the world is the Cabernet Sauvignon grape, seen listed on bottles from more or less every single wine producing country across the globe. Part of the reason for this is the fact that Cabernet Sauvignon is a particularly hardy grape, resistant to both frost and rot, and can grow well in a number of climatic conditions so long as it receives enough sunlight and water. Of course, this is only half the story we cannot ignore the fact that wines made from the Cabernet Sauvignon varietal are prized not only for their strong acidic fruit flavors, spicy and earthy notes and high tannin content, but also for the fact that they age beautifully in oak, resulting in wines which are on another level from those made from lesser grapes. Aged wines made using primarily Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are widely recognized to be the finest in the world. The aging process rounds out the tannins, softens the acidity and allows a wide range of fascinating and complex flavors and aromas to come through, making them an unquestioned highlight of the red wine world.
Since the 18th century, California has been a hugely important and influential wine region, acting as a trailblazer for other New World wine regions and utilizing an important blend of traditional and contemporary practices, methods and techniques relating to their wine production. Split into four key areas the North Coast, the Central Coast, the South Coast and the Central Valley Californian wineries make the most of their ideal climate and rich variety of terrains in order to produce a fascinating range of wines made with a long list of different fine grape varietals. Today, the state has almost half a million acres under vine, and is one of the world's largest wine exporters, with Californian wines being drunk and enjoyed all across the globe.
Of all the New World wine countries, perhaps the one which has demonstrated the most flair for producing high quality wines - using a combination of traditional and forward-thinking contemporary methods - has been the United States of America. For the past couple of centuries, the United States has set about transforming much of its suitable land into vast vineyards, capable of supporting a wide variety of world-class grape varietals which thrive on both the Atlantic and the Pacific coastlines. Of course, we immediately think of sun-drenched California in regards to American wines, with its enormous vineyards responsible for the New World's finest examples of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot based wines, but many other states have taken to viticulture in a big way, with impressive results. Oregon, Washington State and New York have all developed sophisticated and technologically advanced wine cultures of their own, and the output of U.S wineries is increasing each year as more and more people are converted to their produce.

Difference between name and id attributes
Hello again
I was wondering if some one could clearly explain the difference between ID and NAME attributes in html tags. And which one is used with scripting language such as JavaScript and PHP to refer to.
Thanks a lot

The name attribute is used to mark an anchor or a bookmark in a page. It's used with <A> and <map> tags, but it my be on it's way out (??) The ID is a css selector use to id a unique html element.
That's probably not an official definition, but that's how I see it.

The name attribute is actually deprecated for all elements other than form controls (input, select, textarea) and should therefore not be used anymore (except for the aforementioned ones). Technically, ID and name have the same purpose, they uniquely designate an element. However, unlike the ID attribute, the name attribute can't be referenced in CSS (except with more complicated attribute selectors). PHP is using the name attribute of form controls (not the form element itself, however). With JS there are designated ways to address form controls so no need to use the name attribute. Above all, you can also address the ID with JS. For internal page anchors the ID attribute should be used, as name is deprecated.

yep, agree with vipstephan.
A lot of people still use the name attribute in a form tag which is deprecated in (x)html.
For example, this html will not pass the w3c validator.
Code:<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/1998/REC-html40-19980424/strict.dtd"> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8" > <title></title> </head> <body> <form name="myform" action="qwert.php" method="post"> <div> <input type="text" name="txtUsername" > </div> </form> </body> </html>

Cresson lives on since prison closing
CRESSON, Pa.
The state prison officially closed just weeks ago on June 30, but many employees had started working at other prisons by then.
6 News visited the town and talked to people the transition.
The lives of many workers at S.C.I. Cresson have been greatly impacted. Many worried that the Cresson community would go into a downward spiral, but a local real estate agency said the community is still standing strong.
The prison was one of the largest employers in town and workers feared for their future.
"We have not seen a panic, said Louann Hoffman, broker and owner of Lang Real Estate in Cresson. Not seen clients panic selling."
She said once they heard the news of the prison closing her company prepared for the worst.
"Actually we were, we were prepared for a lot of people to call and put their houses on the market. But actually that didnt happen."
Workers transferred to Benner state prison in Centre County were faced with the decision to either stay in Cresson and carpool or move to spare themselves the long commute.
"Many decided to stay in the area and do the commute, Hoffman said.

Religious tension hangs heavy in sacred Hindu city
In the Indian city of Mathura, Hindus and Muslims hold on to a shaky peace at a holy site.
Sharafat Khan's husky baritone, well-tuned for bartering in this noisy Indian marketplace, lowers to a whisper when he discusses Gujarat, a violence-torn region far from his hometown.
"Yes, we are watching the murder of our Muslim brothers there, and we are worrying. Maybe we are next," says the burly iron fabricator, as he huddles close to his son. "I was born in Mathura. I have friends here who are both Hindu and Muslim, but I know that could change, if only someone decides to play more political games."
Gujarat and its communal violence may be hundreds of miles away, but many in Mathura, such as Mr. Khan, are nervously watching the region's rising death count, now close to one thousand.
Violence in the northern Indian town of Ayodhya escalated Feb. 27 after a Muslim mob firebombed a train carrying Hindus who wanted a temple re-built on a mosque site there. The incident sparked India's worst religious violence in a decade.
Residents of Mathura worry that a similar scenario awaits them, because their city, like Ayodhya, is home to a highly significant religious site being fought over by Hindus and Muslims.
Some 3,000 holy places are scattered across India, where hundreds of years ago Muslim rulers are said to have destroyed sacred Hindu temples to build mosques. But Mathura, Ayodhya, and Varanasi are three that were singled out for dispute in the early 1990s by Hindu extremists because of their religious importance.
At Mathura, citizens are trying to stay calm. But around the corner from Khan's sidewalk stall, sweets shop owner Laxmandass Maheshwori admits he is concerned.
"We are Hindu, but we live in a Muslim area and are very happy together. And now my business is just six months old, and it is good...," says Mr. Maheshwori before adding in a hushed tone: "If something happens here, then everything will be lost."

Your skin-care goal should never include causing needless irritation, but that's exactly what you'll get from almost all of the Noxzema products, and that seems to have been their theme for decades. Noxzema is proud of its history, but that pride is hollow because these products are a problem for any skin type. Also, what we know today about how to take the best possible care of skin is vastly different from what we knew when Noxzema first launched, and yet their formulas haven't changed. Think of it like using a typewriter rather than a computer, why would you do that? Many of you may have nostalgic memories of Noxzema's recognizable scent, but that is the only way we'd recommend experiencing these products. With the exception of one standard clay mask and a couple of questionable cleansers, this line is one of the few that deserves complete avoidance.
For more information about Noxzema, call (800) 436-4361 or visit www.noxzema.com. As of late 2008, Noxzema is under the ownership of Alberto-Culver; it was formely owned by Procter & Gamble (Source: The Rose Sheet, September 15, 2008, page12).
This Second part of the first review But i saw noxzema triple clean antibacterial cleaner on the shelf at dollar general and i said lets try it. And i tell you it saved my life. I mean you have no idea. And people i also realized that when i stopped drying my face off with papertowel instead of a wash cloth or face towel it made a bigger difference. It cleared up even more. So i hope this repackaging and rebranding doesn't change the way the product was made before because it just fine.

I use this on my hair when its wet, I have long hair that is halfway down my back and this does a great job in keeping it smooth and shiny. I only need a quarter size amount for all of my hair. I am on my third bottle and I have been using this over two years now. The smell is strong at first but I find that it fades considerably once I blowdry my hair.
I use this product every time I wash my hair. It is great at detangling and removing flyaway strands leaving a silky texture and shine. It only takes a dime size amount of the product per use so equates the price. One vial lasts a LONG time. Even with blowdrying, my hair feels naturally soft. I would recommend to anyone with color treated hair.
More reviews by Pocketfulofsunshine
Great product. I have very dry, damaged hair, and it looks awful. This product completely changed it. You notice a difference right after using it! It helps hair to be silky and shiny. The only thing is, you mustn't use too much otherwise it will make your hair look oily and greasy.
I like this product and have been using it for a while.
It's good for dry hair and i use it a lot on my ends. It provides good shine as well.
The issue i have with it is it is quite heavy and makes your hair quite greasy and causes build up.

Great find you can often get a winners.
- nozzle sometimes gets plugged
- can cause build up (silicone product)
- adds great shine if you're using heat products
- not great frizz control
- finishes and defines a look
Over all it does what it says it will and smells pretty
First of all, this stuff smells awesome! I can't describe it accurately, but I feel like it'd be one of those scents where you'd either love it or hate it. I use this product any time really; any time I feel that my hair needs a bit more moisture. So after the shower, when my hair is dry, or when I just want some extra shine. I really enjoy this.
EDIT: This smells okay now, not like how I used to view it. And it's fine for how it works on my skin, but it doesn't have long lasting effects.
This isn't really a holy grail for me, but it does soften my cholrine-damaged-over-dyed-hair. After I shampoo and condition, I let my hair dry a bit, and once it is at the point where it is semi wet, semi dry, I apply it and when my hair fully dries, it gets really soft ( plus it smells wonderful!) Would repurchase just cause it works, but by no means is it a miracle worker.
a little goes a long way. i used to straighten my hair way too often and noticed that on the days when i rubbed a dab of this in i would get compliments up the wazoo! don't use too much though or you'll look like a greasy bum. this will last a long time. i'm almost half way through the smallest bottle of this and i've owned it for over half a year. awesome stuff to give that natural shine and a nice soft finish.
The smell kind of throws me off when I'm using it but the effects of it are way awesome! My hair instantly feels so smooth after it. I don't have color-damaged hair or anything but it's really long so the ends are pretty dry and this helps with it a lot!
It works best when your hair is kind of damp!
Ohhh man!! This stuff works! I use it when i plan to let my hair air dry, i just pour a little in my hand (maybe like a quarter size, i have long hair) and massage it my hair, from midshaft to ends, and when its dry my hair feels and looks amazing! Its super shiny and soft i love it. The smell is great too. I hear its a little expensive, but my mom got it somewhere for 4 bucks! Im gettin some backups lol

The Outlook on Local Real Estate
Optimism and confidence are up but a few concerns linger
(page 2 of 3)
The Real Deals
But for now, there are genuine values to be found. "If you can qualify for credit, building prices are low—a bargain compared to three to five years ago," says George.
Interestingly, rates are historically low and regulations are less stringent for Small Business Administration (SBA) loans. "It seems they're almost the same as standard commercial loans, with lots of documents and questions to answer," George says. "If you can't afford 20 percent down, you can qualify for 10 percent down on SBA loans. It's a good thing that government is funding more money through the SBA."
In terms of leasing, people can find deals in commitment, says Schwartz. "We can do a lot more for a client who will sign a five-year lease than someone who will sign on for 12 months."
And Cresa has seen a flight to Class A office space at competitive rates, reports TJ Blitz, managing principal. "There's also a surplus of office furniture that allows for plug-and-play opportunities where a tenant can move into a space with very little out of pocket expenses.
"The Class B and C office space market is still very soft, with significant vacancies, allowing for very aggressive rental terms," he continues. "In all office product types we've been able to help our clients obtain aggressive rental concessions of free rent, generous tenant improvement packages and low escalation rates."
Hagen is seeing a slight disconnect between buyers and sellers on the commercial side. "There aren't as many transactions among existing properties as we'd expect," he says. "People are holding on to apartment buildings, for instance. A lot of buyers think everything is on sale right now, but sellers may not be willing to bring the price down to what the buyer is looking for."
Many home buyers and real estate investors have found bank-owned property, short sales, foreclosures and auctions to be good places to find distressed properties. "And they're selling for well-below-market prices, Machotka says.
Lakefront homes have been particularly hard hit by the bargain bonanza. "It's a lifestyle choice many people are choosing not to pay for," Sprinkman says. "The price points and property taxes are higher and it's more expensive to live there. But for people who appreciate the lifestyle there are some phenomenal values."
There are distressed owners and properties in financial difficulties across both the commercial and residential markets," says Jesse. "There are real values if you're a buyer with access to credit."
Sara Investment, with more liquidity than good deals in the pipeline, invests in bank-owned properties. "Sellers of commercial investment properties are a lot less motivated for a variety of reasons," says Schwartz. "People want to hold on to cash-flowing properties. Or they may be waiting for property values to rebound to avoid selling at a loss. Or they may be using cash flows from a performing property to offset struggling properties.
"For these reasons, banks are offering the best deals out there," he continues. "They're motivated to get foreclosed properties off their books, and the favorable interest rates help the cash flows on investment properties. Four out of the last five purchases we've made have been from banks and they're all providing solid returns to investors."
Although, notes Cegelski, compared to other regions there aren't a lot of distressed property sales in Dane County. "We came through the recession better than most of the country," he says.
At Your Service
Our experts have each honed their unique strategies for assisting consumers and businesses with their real estate needs. First Business Bank is actively looking for new clients.
"We're open for business," says Hagen. "We work with a lot of existing businesses and also lend to new commercial real estate clients. As projects come in and go through underwriting, we may see things we have questions about, and we sit down with the businesspeople and talk through it, so they can see how we underwrite projects and structure their plans accordingly. Relationships are key."
Johnson Bank has recently provided acquisition, construction and expansion financing to customers. "We help people take advantage of market opportunities and our lending continues to surpass expectations," Cegelski marvels. "In 2011 we surpassed $1 billion-plus in closed mortgage loans for the second year in a row. About 70 percent of them were refinances that helped customers reduce their interest rates and monthly payments."
He's glad to see new home construction and purchase activity in 2012. "Johnson Bank is a privately held Wisconsin business," he says. "We understand owning and running a family business and we make decisions with customers' best interests in mind. We want to see the city grow and support customers through growth and business succession."
Inland Companies is working with several banks on foreclosed properties. "Our level of tenant representation has never been higher," says Herl. "They're looking at properties they never thought they'd have access to. Landlords have to make serious concessions to get people to stay and sales of troubled properties are still high. Rather than investment sales, we're assisting mainly cash buyers waiting for troubled properties."
Murphy Desmond is involved in all aspects of real estate markets. "We represent buyers, sellers, landlords, tenants and banks. Our attorneys also work with debtors and creditors on bankruptcy and workout scenarios," Jesse explains. "Many transactions these days involve either a distressed seller or bank-owned property, and there are fewer 'typical' transactions with just a buyer and a seller involved."
Lee & Associates, too, spans the market spectrum. "We do our best to match qualified buyers with lending sources, whether it's an SBA or a traditional loan, along with tax credits and other sources of funds that can help facilitate purchases," says George. "On the leasing side we use the benefit of the market to represent tenants—where three places might have fit your needs in past years now there are six or seven. Tenants have the luxury of being more aggressive in negotiations.
"In working with landlords, we help them understand where their properties fit in the market," he adds. "We do enough leasing and sales that we can educate tenants, landlords, sellers and buyers. Some prospective tenants want to go out and ask for the moon, and we can help them reach good, realistic deals. Our strength is that we can provide a tremendous amount of data so people can make very educated decisions."
Cresa takes a different approach, representing only tenants. "We're conflict-free," declares Rikkers. "Much like an attorney only represents one party in a transaction, we believe representing both sides is a conflict of interest."
Cresa strives to remind clients that their tenancy is a valuable commodity, one that can be leveraged to their advantage. "To be sure, there's an art to this process, but a good real estate professional—provided they're operating from a conflict-free position—can create an environment where landlords
compete for a tenant's business and where, ultimately, the tenant can make a fully informed, fully quantifiable business decision regarding their space needs," Apter adds.
Sara Investment prides itself on being accommodating when it comes to getting people into its space. "If they're willing to pay market rent and sign on for a few years, we can offer some very attractive incentives in terms of tenant improvement allowance, build-out, signage and even free rent," says Schwartz. "We can also provide loans to clients unable to obtain financing from a bank. Then we amortize the loan over the initial term of the lease so they pay it along with their rent every month. I encourage my brokerage department to get really creative with leasing because each deal is different."
Dines Inc. demonstrates the strength of the downtown market to potential customers. "We spend a lot of time working through analysis and statistics to better inform our buyers and sellers," Dines says. "We hope 2012 is as good as 2011—our dollar sales were up 86 percent last year versus the prior year—and though it's early, we're seeing very positive momentum again this year."
The Sprinkman Real Estate Team knows it's vitally important, especially for relocating buyers, to evaluate their lifestyles. The team specializes in helping them do so. "We listen to what they enjoy and find the right community for them," says Sprinkman.
"Also, our website is very community oriented. You can visit it and find out about neighborhoods as well as houses," she continues. "It's important to learn about a community before selecting a house. We've worked very hard to make our marketing and our website great resources for buyers, or for homeowners looking for a roofer or another service provider. It's a one- stop-shop."
Spancrete's customers are mostly general contractors and Krell serves the area west of Waukesha, including greater Madison. "We design and manufacture our product to ensure we're using materials in the most efficient way possible," he says. "We're seeing efficiency play more of a role in decisions to move forward with projects. Owners want reassurance that they're getting the most value for their investment, so we assemble the right resources in the infancy of projects to give owners the confidence to move forward. We've also driven out waste in our internal processes to benefit owners."
This year has started similarly to 2011, Krell indicates. "Things have improved, but we're seeing more optimism and expect an uptick toward the second half of the year. There's more confidence and less uncertainty in the market."

Gabrielle Bell excerpted a part of Truth is Fragmentary on The Nib! Here's a bit from the introduction:
Gabrielle Bell, indie comics darling and anxious auto-bio queen, has trouble introducing her work.
"I find it difficult," Bell told The Nib, "I usually say they are comics about myself, and then I get really quiet and mysterious and hope it makes people want to learn more about me."
To facilitate learning more about Bell, this week The Nib will be publishing 'The Colombia Diaries' — an excerpt from her new book, Truth is Fragmentary: Travelogues & Diaries.
Unlike her other autobiographical comics, 'Colombia Diaries' was written in third person by a fictional secretary.
"It was an experiment," Bell explained, "I'd done so many diaries and travelogues at this point I felt in danger of repeating myself, and also simply sick of my own voice.
Check out the full post here.
Erik Johnson's Kozmo-Knot; the amazing perpetual comic object is very close to being fully funded! It's only about $600 away from liftoff! He's been thinking about this project for 10 years! Help him out by supporting this Kickstarter campaign.
Gabrielle Bell's Truth Is Fragmentary was reviewed in Timesleader. Here's a little taste of what they had to say:
Hailed as an alternative cartoonist, Bell is best known for her works The Voyeurs and Lucky, which won the Ignatz Award for Most Outstanding Minicomic in 2003. In her recent work, Bell demonstrates a continued maturity and excellence as one of the best young cartoonists of her time. Using her life and travels as a starting point, Bell, in the most appropriate of ways, draws life through comics.
The rest of the review is here.
The Uncivilized Books Lab is proud to announce that we're partnering with cartoonist Erik Johnson to bring to life his infinite loop comic, Kozmo-Knot. He's been working on this unique object for 10 years! We we saw Erik's prototype, we knew we had to help out! Here's a little about the project:
Kozmo-Knot is the story of a spaceman and a caveman, a campfire and a blaster, a rocket ship, asteroid, a rocky off-world landscape. It's a kinetic pantomime that takes a reader on a far away journey, then right back where they started … to begin again.
But really, you should check out the project via it's Kickstarter page, there's loads more info there! Help us bring this unique object to life! For even more Kozmo-Knot related art and sketches check out this Tumblr.
What is Uncivilized Books Lab? It's a new label for something we're already doing: hand made books and comics. Even though we've entered the mass market book world with our Graphic Novels a couple of years ago, we still love making comics by hand. It's how we started out! It allows us to work with different formats, and artist that we might otherwise not be able to work with. We can nurture new ongoing projects like Derek Van Gieson's Eel Mansions, or do a series of idiosyncratic architecture zines like the Structures series. It our research and development laboratory. And, frankly, it's loads of fun to do! Even more soon!
Last week, Canada's The Globe and Mail reviewed Gabrielle Bell's Truth Is Fragmentary. It's short but sweet:
At one point in her latest comic-strip memoir, Gabrielle Bell wonders whether she is "one of those people who are afflicted with too much consciousness." For readers, though, Bell's affliction – evident in her pensive captions, careful lines, and worried-over shading – is rather more of a blessing. Her comics brim with unpredictable, incisive observation, as she records not just the humming details of daily existence, but the fancies that fill life's lulls as well.
Read the whole review here.
Paste Magazine reviewed Gabrielle Bell's Truth is Fragmentary. They have some very nice things to say:
Most of the book's pages are black-and-white, with an uncomplicated panel structure. This approach is characteristic of the genre, but Bell has a great grasp of body language. In addition, her unique aesthetic never veers into sloppiness or overworks the pages. Mostly, though, her work is strong because of its writing — this includes the way she structures a story from panel to panel. The tone is conversational, self-amused, unstressed and assuredly improvisational, like watching an excellent cook throw a meal together from what's already on hand in the kitchen.
Read the whole review here.
Tonight! New York! Brooklyn! Desert Island Comics! 7 to 9 pm! Gabrielle Bell will be present for the NY launch of Truth is Fragmentary! Don't miss it!

Why Johnny Can't Speak: a Cost of Paywalled Research
Open Access (189 comments)
There is a trend to publish on Open Access jurnals, such as PloS One, which charge the authors (about 2K) to cover the publishing costs. Then the access for anyone is free. Even Nature offers the choice to publish as open access.
It may be argued that 2K is too expensive and that if the author pays for the publication costs there is a conflict of interests. But the trend is clear. It's now a matter of adjusting the costs.
