The most important, acclaimed, and galvanizing political biography of our era--which began with The Path to Power--continues in this national bestseller. In Means of Ascent Lyndon Johnson's almost mythic personality is seen at its most nakedly ambitious. The culminating drama--the explosive heart of the book--is Caro's illumination of one of the great political mysteries of the century, the "87 votes that changed history."

Author information
For his biographies of Robert Moses and Lyndon Johnson, Robert A. Caro has twice won the Pulitzer Prize for Biography, twice won the National Book Critics Circle Award for Best Nonfiction Book of the Year, and has also won virtually every other major literary honor, including the National Book Award, the Gold Medal in Biography from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, and the Francis Parkman Prize, awarded by the Society of American Historians to the book that best "exemplifies the union of the historian and the artist." To create his first book, "The Power Broker: Robert Moses and the Fall of New York, "Caro spent seven years tracing and talking with hundreds of men and women who worked with, for, or against Robert Moses, including a score of his top aides. He examined mountains of files never open to the public. Everywhere acclaimed as a modern classic, "The Power Broker "was chosen by the Modern Library as one of the hundred greatest non-fiction books of the twentieth century. It is, according to David Halberstam, "Surely the greatest book ever written about a city." And "The New York times Book Review" said: "In the future, the scholar who writes the history of American cities in the twentieth century will doubtless begin with this extraordinary effort." To research "The Years of Lyndon Johnson, " Caro and his wife, Ina, moved from his native New York City to the Texas Hill Country and then to Washington, D.C., to live in the locales in which Johnson grew up and in which he built, while he was still young, his first political machine. He has spent years examining documents at the Johnson Library in Austin and interviewing men and women connected with Johnson's life, many of whom had never before been interviewed. The first volume of "The Years of Lyndon Johnson, The Path to Power, "was cited by "The Washington Post "as "proof that we live in a great age of biography... [a book] of radiant excellence... Caro's evocation of the Texas Hill Country, his elaboration of Johnson's unsleeping ambition, his understanding of how politics actually work, are--let it be said flat out--at the summit of American historical writing." Professor Henry F. Graff of Columbia University called the second volume, "Means of Ascent, ""brilliant. No review does justice to the drama of the story Caro is telling, which is nothing less than how present-day politics was born." And the London "Times "hailed volume three, "Masters of the Senate, " as "a masterpiece... Robert Caro has written on of the truly great political biographies of the modern age." "Caro has a unique place among American political biographers," according to "The Boston Globe." "He has become, in many ways, the standard by which his fellows are measured." And Nicholas von Hoffman wrote: "Caro has changed the art of political biography." Caro graduated from Princeton University and later became a Nieman Fellow at Harvard University. He lives in New York City with his wife, Ina, an historian and writer.
Review quote
" Thrilling. Caro burns into the reader's imagination the story of the [1948 Senate] election. Never has it been told so dramatically, with breathtaking detail piled on incredible development . . .In "The Path to Power, "Volume I of his monumental biography, Robert A. Caro ignited a blowtorch whose bright flame illuminated Johnson's early career. In "Means of Ascent" he intensifies the flame to a brilliant blue point." --Christopher Lehmann-Haupt, "New York Times" " Brilliant. No brief review does justice to the drama of the story Caro is telling, which is nothing less than how present-day politics was born." --Henry F. Graff, Professor of History, Columbia University " Riveting . . . Explosive . . . Readers are in for a white-knuckle, hair-raising tale that could have ended in any of a dozen ways, with L.B.J. in the White House the longest shot of all. This is good history. Caro's treatment achieves poetic intensity." --Paul Gray, "Time" " Caro has a unique place among American political biographers. He has become, in many ways, the standard by which his fellows are measured. Caro's diligence [and] ambition are phenomenal . . . A remarkable story . . . Epic." --Mark Feeney, "Boston Sunday Globe" " Immensely engaging . . . Caro is an indefatigable investigative reporter and a skillful historian who can make the most abstract material come vibrantly to life. [He has a] marvelous ability to tell a story . . . His analysis of how power is used---to build highways and dams, to win elections, to get rich---is masterly." --Ronald Steel, "New York Times Book Review" " Caro has changed the art of politicalbiography." --Nicholas von Hoffman " A spellbinding, hypnotic journey into the political life and times of Lyndon Johnson. Riveting drama." --Jim Finley," Los Angeles Times "" The most compelling study of American political power and corruption since Robert Penn Warren's "All the King's Men,.".. It is nothing less than a political epic, the definitive account of a watershed election, rich with all of the intrigue and drama that have become the stuff of legend. [It has] the suspense of a political thriller." --Steve Neal, "Fort Worth Star Telegram "" His research is dazzlingly exhaustive, his gripping story is enhanced by excellent writing, and his findings [seem] largely irrefutable. No one has done a better job of researching [the 1948 race] than Mr. Caro. He has produced a portrait not only of Lyndon Johnson, but also of the politics and values of mid-century America." --Philip Seib, "Dallas Morning News "" A great book, and I believe the completed biography will be" the "great book about American politics in the twentieth century. The story of the '48 election is remarkable, unique. If it weren't a cliche, I'd say it has Tolstoyan epic grandeur." --Robert K. Massie " A spellbinding political thriller...riveting." --Arthur Salm, "San Diego Tribune "" No one understands Lyndon Baines Johnson without reading Robert A. Caro." --James F. Vesely, "Sacramento Union "" We who are alive today are privileged to be present at the creation of what, when it is completed, may rank as the most riveting and disturbing American political biography of this century . . . Magnificently written." --Theodore M. O'Leary, "Kansas City Star "
Flap copy
Robert A. Caro's life of Lyndon Johnson, which began with the greatly acclaimed The Path to Power, also winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award, continues -- one of the richest, most intensive and most revealing examinations ever undertaken of an American President. In Means of Ascent the Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer/historian, chronicler also of Robert Moses in The Power Broker, carries Johnson through his service in World War II and the foundation of his long-concealed fortune and the facts behind the myths he created about it. But the explosive heart of the book is Caro's revelation of the true story of the fiercely contested 1948 senatorial election, for forty years shrouded in rumor, which Johnson had to win or face certain political death, and which he did win -- by "the 87 votes that changed history." Caro makes us witness to a momentous turning point in American politics: the tragic last stand of the old politics versus the new -- the politics of issue versus the politics of image, mass manipulation, money and electronic dazzle.

Product description
NATIONAL BESTSELLER A "Christian Science Monitor" Best Book of the Year Julia Glass, the bestselling, National Book Award-winning author of Three Junes, returns with a tender, riveting book of two sisters and their complicated relationship. Louisa Jardine is the older one, the conscientious student, precise and careful: the one who yearns for a good marriage, an artistic career, a family. Clem, the archetypal youngest, is the rebel: committed to her work saving animals, but not to the men who fall for her. In this vivid, heartrending story of what we can and cannot do for those we love, the sisters grow closer as they move further apart. All told with sensual detail and deft characterization, I See You Everywhere is a candid story of life and death, companionship and sorrow, and the nature of sisterhood itself.

Review quote
"Rich, intricate and alive with emotion.... An honest portrait of sister-love and sister-hate-interlocking, brave and forgiving-made whole through art." --"The New York Times Book Review ""Glass writes the sort of novels that you wish would go on forever.... I See You Everywhere is a lovely and heartbreaking book, and it ends far too soon." --"The Miami Herald ""Nowhere are the ebbs and flows, the complex and often ugly nuances, the bonds and the breaks between sisters more achingly or more piercingly explored." --"USA Today" "So heartbreakingly luminous that you'd swear Glass had access to your own most secret thoughts." --"Redbook" "Extraordinarily good.... Unusually rich and complex." --"The Boston Globe" "One doesn't read so much as sink into a Julia Glass novel.... A haunting dissection of human fragility." --"People" "Glass is Edith Wharton for the twenty-first century.... Wharton wrote more than forty-eight books in her lifetime. American literature could use a few more from Glass." --"Pittsburgh Post-Gazette" "Sheer pleasure for readers who love stories about complicated family relationships." --"San Francisco Chronicle"

Krystal moved back into the starting lineup based on her productivity
against Georgia Tech but was back to her passive self for the first thirty or
so minutes of the game. Interestingly, that roughly corresponds to the length
of time that she struggled against the Jackets as well. After that, she hit 2
key stickbacks, sank 2 free throws and finished the Terps off with a transition
bucket. More importantly, she was the only Duke player who came close to
slowing down Lynetta Kizer. Kizer had 13 and 13, but Krystal bodied her up
down the stretch and forced some misses & turnovers from her long-time foe.
Kizer and Thomas played against each other in AAU ball. Krystal's 4 blocks
helped force Maryland take a few more jumpers than perhaps they would have
A brilliant performance from the senior, who limited her mistakes and
played with great confidence. She sagely noted "You can't play minutes and not
do anything" and she took that spur to productivity to heart as she was both
careful in the shots she took and aggressive in how she called for the ball.
Cheek displayed her entire skill set in this game: shooting, attacking off the
dribble, using her size to back down opponents, passing, playing aggressive
defense off the ball and getting to the foul line. All of the things that she
had only shown in flashes were on full display for most of her 38 (!) minutes.
Even her missed shots were good ones, as some great half-hooks simply didn't
drop for her. Her passing was especially impressive, as she found Mitchell and
Christmas for threes and later hit K.Thomas in transition. Joy simply seemed
more alert and focused than I've seen her all year, as the play where she
adroitly took a pass from Christmas that popped out of a double-team and
converted it into a three point play. Joy may be feeling a sense of urgency as
her career at Duke winds down, but if she continues to play like this the rest
of the year, that career may well be extended by a few games.
Bridgette nailed a three early in the game and then put up some
painfully awkward shots that once again seemed to be designed to get near the basket
rather than into the basket. She did have a couple of assists for threes and
some relentless work on the boards in the second half (she had a team-high 5
offensive boards), but her biggest play came in the form of the charge she took
with just seconds left in the first half. That gave Duke another possession,
which they took full advantage of.
KJ looked worn out at times in this contest, after playing 38 minutes
against Georgia Tech. She had early assists to Cheek and Christmas but threw
it away a couple of times after that. Jackson did hit an early three to break
a tie and drained 2 foul shots at the end of the half after Duke had gone over
six minutes with no points. In the second half, her main contributions came in
the form of relentless defense on Bjork (who was 1-5 in the half with 2
turnovers) and 3 rebounds. Duke will need her at her peak when they go up
against Monica Wright and Virginia.
Jasmine is under the weather, and it showed in the way she took some
shots and turned the ball over without thinking. Jasmine also seemed a step
slow on defense at times in the first half, but she sure made up for that in
the second. Her only field goals came on 2 steals & runouts and a first-half
tip-in. That second steal proved to be a game-changing play, deflating the
Terps and giving Duke all the energy they needed down the stretch. Jasmine
also climbed the ladder for 6 rebounds to go along with her eventual 5 steals
and 8 points. Certainly not a vintage game, but her teammates helped pick up
the slack. After the way she carried them in Atlanta, they owed her one.
Allison struggled off the bench for much of the game. She was no
match physically for Kizer, who took advantage of her one-on-one. Alli did
miss some great looks at the basket that just rimmed out. She'll have an
advantage to work her way back up the rotation against a Virginia team that is
fairly small and a UNC team against whom she had some success.
Simply a magnificent game for Karima, who shot noticeably better now
that the tape is off her hand. The pain in her hand clearly had an effect
both on her shot and her thinking about her shot, and it was obvious that she
was able to get into the flow of this game very quickly. Taking what the
defense was leaving open for her, she drained 3 first half treys. Her dash
down the floor with seconds left at the end of the half, complete with a
reverse layup and the foul, was a spectacular play that gave Duke a boost going
into the second half. In the second half, she drained an early three to break a
tie and then broke a Duke scoring drought with a drive and put them ahead after
a steal with 2 free throws. Her three point play after a stickback and 2 foul
shots with 1:16 left and Duke up by 6 were also crucial plays. An even more
impressive play was her heads-up pass to Cheek under the basket when she was
trapped after snagging an offensive rebound. While Maryland kept Jasmine under
control, Karima was one player they couldn't match up with.
Shay was once again curiously passive on the offensive end. Not so
defensively--she took two charges (and currently boasts a team-leading 8),
including the charge that resulted in the "five point play".
Kathleen got some minutes late in the first half when Duke was battling
foul trouble. She battled for a rebound and missed a good-looking turnaround

New data on antiepileptic drugs.
The first-generation AEDs known to cause birth defects and other developmental toxicities include the hydantoins (ethotoin [Peganone], fosphenytoin [Cerebyx], mephenytoin [Mesantoin], and phenytoin [Dilantin]), phenobarbital, primidone (Mysoline), carbamazepine (Tegretol), and valproic acid derivatives (Depakene, Depakote). In a 2001 study, the incidence of embryopathy (major and minor anomalies, microcephaly, and IUGR) after first-trimester monotherapy was 21% (phenytoin), 27% (phenobarbital), 14% (carbamazepine), 21% any monotherapy, and 28% (polytherapy) (N. Engl. J. Med. 2001;344:1132-8).
Phenytoin causes a pattern of defects called fetal hydantoin syndrome (FHS) as well as other defects, such as those involving the heart and growth. Carbamazepine can cause a syndrome of minor craniofacial defects, fingernail hypoplasia, and developmental delay as well as neural-tube defects (NTDs).
The defects observed with primidone are similar to those in FHS. Phenobarbital has been associated with an increase in congenital defects when used for epilepsy, but not when used for other indications. Use of valproic acid derivatives between the 17th and 30th day after fertilization is associated with a 1%-2% risk of NTDs. Other defects are those of the head and face, digits, urogenital tract, and mental and physical growth.
Carbamazepine, phenytoin, primidone, and phenobarbital affect folate metabolism or absorption, and this may increase the risk of birth defects, including NTDs. Women taking these agents should take folic acid 4-5 mg/day, preferably starting before conception. Anticonvulsants, particularly the hydantoins and barbiturates, are related to hemorrhagic disease of the newborn, so adequate doses of vitamin K should be administered to newborns exposed to AEDs in utero.
In contrast, first-generation AEDs that do not appear to be associated with a significant risk of birth defects include the benzodiazepines (clonazepam [Klonopin], clorazepate [Tranxene], diazepam [Valium], and lorazepam [Ativan]) and succinimides (ethosuximide [Zarontin] and methsuximide [Celontin]). However, some of these drugs have very little human data, and the benzodiazepines are known to cause toxicity in the newborn, most notably, floppy infant syndrome and withdrawal syndrome.
Until recently, second-generation AEDs had not been linked to congenital defects. But new data from the North American AED Pregnancy Registry and five other pregnancy registries have shown a very significant risk of isolated, nonsyndromic oral clefts after first-trimester exposure to lamotrigine (Lamictal) monotherapy (Birth Defects Res. A Clin. Mol. Teratol. 2006;76:313-428).
The human pregnancy experience is too limited to assess the embryo/fetal risk for the other second-generation agents: felbamate (Felbatol), gabapentin (Neurontin), pregabalin (Lyrica), levetiracetam (Keppra), tiagabine (Gabitril), and topiramate (Topamax). Although the data also are limited for zonisamide (Zonegran), the drug is teratogenic in three animal species and embryo lethal in a fourth and therefore is best avoided in the first trimester. Oxcarbazepine (Trileptal), a drug closely related to carbamazepine, has been associated with minor facial defects, but the data are too limited to assess the risk in humans.
In summary, women with epilepsy should not be denied treatment with the most effective agents for their condition because of pregnancy or nursing. They should be treated with the lowest dose and the fewest drugs possible to control their seizures. They should take folic acid (4-5 mg/day), and vitamin K should be given to the newborns.
AEDs that appear to have the lowest risk for major birth defects are the benzodiazepines, the succinimides, and the second-generation agents. However, the human pregnancy data are very limited for many of these agents.
Carbamazepine and phenytoin are considered compatible with breastfeeding, and gabapentin, levetiracetam, oxcarbazepine, and tiagabine are probably compatible. Two AEDs (primidone and phenobarbital) are known to cause toxicity in the nursing infant and should not be given during breast-feeding. There are no data for the remaining AEDs, but they have the potential to cause toxicity and, if used during breast-feeding, the infants should be closely monitored.

Yet Another Yummy Burgoo...Gale Style
Fashioned after a recipe Gale discovered, called Kentucky Burgoo, which listed specific ingredients--especially the meat--as I recall, wild boar, squirrel and venison...soup stock and Guiness beer. Gale's Burgoo is concocted from whatever meats are handy. As with the original she always starts with at least three meats--this one has four, chicken, venison, ham and sage grouse. She then adds veggies and a bunch of other stuff. Into this one I watched her toss carrots, sweet and white potatoes, onion, celery, peas, string beans (?), mushrooms, beef (or chicken?) stock, a pint or so porter beer (couldn't come up with Guiness this time around in Dillon) canned tomatoes, tomato paste and a variety of spices (ask her). Instead of outside in the dutch oven as we often do, this one went into the oven at, I think, 350 degrees for about 4 hours...Anyway, served over fresh baked cornbread, trust me, this is one you do not want to miss...

Ice Out Fishing Montana Reservoirs...
|Ice Out at Clark Canyon Reservoir and the fishing is hot...
Most days the best strategy is to cast out and let it sit...the longer it sits out there the better your chances of a cruising trout finding your flies. If the lake is dead calm try creating small waves with your foot just enough to move the bobber. Should all else fail, ditch the bobber; cast, count down (vary the count until you strike paydirt); strip in ever so slo-o-wly; water and trout are still cold...Right.

Did you know June is Black Music Month? It is. And you've got Dyana Williams to thank. Williams, ex-wife of Kenny Gamble of the legendary Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Famers Gamble and Huff, co-wrote House Concurrent Bill 509 with Chaka Fattah to get the month on the books, which was made official in '02 by then-president George W. Bush (take that, Kanye!). Next Wednesday, June 30, Williams will be honored with a lifetime- achievement award at an event held in the Bonnell Auditorium (Community College of Philadelphia) called "The Comeback—Philly Style," which will feature performances of music by Philly artists you've heard of (Jill Scott, Boys II Men, Eve, Bilal) by Philly artists you haven't (J-Mal, Alexis Joi, Rosie Bonds). Musiq Soulchild, Jill Scott, Jazmine Sullivan, Beanie Siegel and others will also be on hand to honor Williams. Admission is $20, event starts at 7pm.
For the last few weeks we've been playing Houston's Young Mammals new LP Carrots on constant rotation (really). The fearsome foursome lay down their blissfully catchy pop tunes at Danger Danger Gallery (5013 Baltimore Ave.) this Thursday, June 24, at 8 p.m. We're told they'll be playing a special set inspired by Black Music Month (not really.)

Campus Climate Challenge Underway
October 20, 2005
Colleges and universities across North America have begun to make significant commitments to reduce campus greenhouse gas emissions. Some institutions have been spurred by cost-saving opportunities, others by principles, and others because of the encouragement of student groups.
The Campus Climate Challenge, launched on October 19, is a student-led initiative to engage students, faculty, and administrators at 500 campuses in the United States and Canada in a long-term contest to eliminate global warming pollution. Thirty student organizations have joined together to support this initiative. The challenge will help create an online community of campus climate experts to share ideas and resources and strengthen the positive outcomes on each campus. Students will be available to help college staff with the analyses of greenhouse gas emissions and implementation of solutions. So far, 93 campus groups have joined the challenge.
To launch the challenge, Energy Action and the Apollo Alliance are co-releasing a report "New Energy for Campuses" outlining strategies for reducing greenhouse gas emissions on campuses while saving money at the same time. The report includes case studies of 37 university policies and initiatives.
NACUBO has joined forces with four national higher education associations, covering the areas of student life, facilities directors, business officers, educational buyers, and university planners (ACUI, APPA, NAEB, and SCUP) in the co-sponsoring of a the Higher Education Climate Action Project (HECAP). This project is an outgrowth of the work at the U.S. Partnership for the Decade of Education for Sustainable Development and complements the Campus Climate Challenge. The HECAP Web site will be available soon and will include tools and calculators for assessing and reducing greenhouse gases; answers to your questions; resource links; expert voices; and successful campus case studies to help you move forward in your institution's commitment to reduce emissions.
Additional HECAP information will be made available soon to help you take advantage of the students' enthusiasm, commitment, and skills to help with this important issue.

How crucial is anonymity for sexual exploration and promoting sexual rights activism
While the debate around anonymity rarely gets seen from a feminist angle, women go through this feeling of being watched online and offline every day of their lives. It happens so often and so persistently that it has increasingly become synonymous to the experience of being a woman.
(Re)govern and (Re)imagine a feminist internet: Sex, rights and internet governance at the IGF 2014
As a pre-event of the IGF 2014 APC convened a meeting of sexual rights activists, women's human rights defenders and gender equality advocates to discuss the intersections between sex

Hands off my internet! Abortion stigmas - accessing and controlling information on reproductive rights
Accessing information on the internet about abortion services and reproductive health empowers women and girls! In many situations, the internet is the only means to access critical information on fundamental rights and freedoms and the right to health.
Emma Watson, trolls and a feminist internet
Within days of her highly visible and publicised speech, Emma Watson became the subject and target of violence. The threat and reality of using women's sexualised bodies as weapons to humiliate them, shut them up or blackmail them into submission are increasingly prevalent expressions of violence against women online. Jac sm Kee, APC´s Women´s Rights Programme manager, shares her insights on the emerging reactions, and also criticises the framing of the UN #HeForShe campaign, as it seems to position women as passive subjects needing to be rescued.

The 2009 Riesling Vandenberg is a gorgeous, well-delineated wine graced with lychee, apples, quince and pears. There is a slight element of botrytis that adds wonderful sweetness, weight and texture. The finish is striking for its beauty and understated elegance. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2015.
(8/ 2011)
Bright yellow. Expressive aromas of peach, honeydew and pineapple. Becomes spicier and smokier with air, offering juicy tropical and pit fruit flavors and a kick of bracing acidity. Finishes smooth, sappy and persistent, with subtle lingering florality. This would be fantastic with pungent cheeses or spicy food.
(10/ 2011)
Graham Tatomer is a rising star winemaker in Santa Barbara County, specializing in the unexpected: Riesling! Graham's wines are dead-ringers for the rich yet chiseled styles of the Wachau, thanks to his incredible talent combined with three years working under respected Austrian winemaker Emmerich Knoll. Our domstic team loved the wines so much on their Central Coast buy trip earlier this year they brought them in immediately for us to try, and we're hooked! These are wines for serious Riesing lovers, and Graham Tatomer is a winemaker to watch. (Chiara Shannon, K&L Personal Sommelier Service) Additional notes from Wine Advocate: "The Vandenberg is aged in steel and neutral oak, while the Kick-on Ranch is aged exclusively in neutral oak. This is a young operation. It will be interesting to see where things go from here." (08/11)
Below is a listing of the wine review scores we frequently reference in our notes. While these sources remain an excellent source of information, we always recommend that you trust your own palate.

Milan's a busy metropolis, full of cars, fashionistas and industry events. Whether you arrive by sky, track or on wheels, it's easy to get right into the heart of things and begin sightseeing. Here's a primer for getting into the city center.
Getting Into Milan
By plane
Milan has three airports: Linate, Malpensa and Orio al Serio. Linate is substantially closer to the city center, at only 7 km (roughly 4 miles) away, while Malpensa and Orio al Serio are both around 50 km (about 31 miles) from Milan's city center .
From Linate to Milan's City Center
City bus #73 runs from Linate Airport to Milan's Piazza San Babila. The journey takes about 30 minutes, and buses depart every 10 minutes between 6:05 a.m. and 12:41 a.m. daily. Bus #X73 is an express bus that runs the same route in 20 minutes. It departs every 20 minutes between 7:10 a.m. and 7:50 p.m. Tickets for both buses cost €1.50. Note that there is a €1.50 charge for each piece of luggage transported on the ATM network.
There is also an airport shuttle bus, which connects travelers from Linate to Stazione Centrale (Central Station) every 30 minutes from 6:30 a.m. until 11:30 p.m. Tickets cost €5 one-way or €9 round-trip and the journey takes about 25 minutes. For more information, visit the official site of ATM, Milan's transit authority.
A taxi from Linate will cost you around €18. As usual, we advise against it—especially with bus options so cheap and easy.
From Malpensa to Milan's City Center
Malpensa is connected to Milan by both bus and train service.
The Malpensa Express shuttle train runs between the airport and Cadorna Station (near Castello Sforzesco) every 30 minutes between 5:30 a.m. and 11:45 p.m. The journey takes around 30 minutes. There is also a Malpensa Express shuttle connecting the airport to Stazione Centrale. The journey takes around 45 minutes and trains depart every hour between 5:45 a.m. and 11:20 p.m. Tickets for both trains cost €11, or €7 if you purchase from the Malpensa Web site.
A taxi from Malpensa central Milan will cost you around €90. Don't do it. (We beg you!)
From Orio al Serio to Milan's City Center
The Autostradale bus departs Orio al Serio about every 30 minutes between 4:30 a.m. and 1 a.m. daily and goes to Milan's Central Station. The journey takes about an hour and tickets cost €9.90 one-way or €18.50 round-trip.
A second bus, the Orio Shuttle, also travels to Stazione Centrale, every 20-40 minutes between 4:10 a.m. and 12:15 a.m. The journey takes about 50 minutes and tickets cost €10 one-way (€7 if you purchase online.
Avoid taking a pricey taxi from the airport. It will set you back around €90.
By bus
All Milan buses arrive and depart from Piazza Castello, the square at the foot of Castello Sforzesco, a major tourist sight in the city center.
In addition, city buses and trams are available everywhere in Milan's city center to take travelers from Piazza Castello to nearby accommodations. Look for the large "MM" signs that designate Metro stops.
By train
The wonder that is Milan's Stazione Central (Central Station), located just northeast of the Duomo, hosts the majority of train arrivals and departures. Once here, the metro lines MM2 and MM3 offer service to area hotels or sights.
For more train information visit the TrenIitalia site, and for bus and Metro information, visit the official site of ATM, Milan's transit authority.

Who are we? EuroCheapo is a guide to budget hotels in Milan and throughout Europe. Our editors have been reviewing cheap hotels all over Europe since 2001, always with an eye on recommending only hotels that are clean, central and cheap.
Milan can get pricey quickly, especially if you happen to be visiting during fashion shows or other expo dates. During the rest of the year, however, the city can be a welcoming place for Cheapos, especially given the number of small, family-run hotels and pensions in town.

You will grow in your faith as you discover the importance of these sacred acts and understand why Jesus commanded his followers to practice them.
The D-Series provides basic, easy-to-apply small group studies on six essential topics for spiritual growth. Together, these six studies will form a ladder leading the believer from the point of conversion to involvement in ministry. Each four-session study is Bible based and follows the learning pattern of addressing head (mind), heart (emotions or affective reasoning), hands (action), and habits (spiritual practices).

The strange death of Labour Scotland
Working class and young voters need to be inspired again. Somebody should grab the Labour leadership by the lapels and tell them to be more radical
After Britain's once-mighty Liberal Party had been obliterated into a marginal rump by the 1930s, the journalist George Dangerfield penned The Strange Death of Liberal England to find out why. It remains a classic study of how an apparently unassailable party could be reduced to ruin in a terrifyingly short period of time. This famous tome has generated many spin-offs, but the most recent is The Strange Death of Labour Scotland. The title is only a slight exaggeration: with Alex Salmond remaining the most formidable front-line politician on these Isles, Scottish Labour remains a mess – and the consequences have seismic implications for the future of Britain as a whole.
It is certainly true that the explosive rise of the SNP and, more broadly, Scottish nationalism, cannot be put on the heads of the Scottish Labour leadership alone. It has much to do with the trauma of Thatcherism and the subsequent disappointments and betrayals of the New Labour era. Few remember that, in 1955, more than half of Scots voted for the Conservatives' Scottish sister party; at the last general election, the fringe status of the Scottish Tories was confirmed when they won less than 17 per cent of the vote. I spent two years of my childhood in Falkirk. My parents took me to march against the Poll Tax – cruelly introduced in Scotland by Thatcher before anywhere else – in 1990, and I still remember the bitterness and passion of those who demonstrated.
Hatred of Toryism runs in the blood in much of Scotland, just as it does in working-class Northern England and elsewhere.
But if Scotland does indeed break with the Union in 2014, the fall of the House of Scottish Labour will be partly responsible. The party has apparently willingly sacrificed its role as Scotland's standard-bearer of social justice to the SNP, ensuring that progressive politics and the cause of independence have become welded together. Last week, Scottish Labour leader Johann Lamont called for the abolition of free university education, arguing it was "not sustainable".
Her argument that Scottish colleges were being hammered by SNP cuts had merit, but a progressive Labour leader would have called for devolved income tax to raise new revenues. Instead, she delighted SNP spin-doctors. There was a "Labour-Tory alliance" on the issue, said Alex Salmond, who gleefully claimed that Lamont had capitulated to Cameron's position.
Flanking on the wrong side
It is not Lamont's first disastrous public intervention. In September, she echoed the language of the right by announcing that Scotland could not be "the only something-for-nothing country in the world", suggesting that universal benefits could be scrapped.
"Good to see Johann warming to Tory ideas," tweeted a jubilant Scottish Tory deputy leader, Murdo Fraser.
The rights and wrongs aside, it is a baffling political strategy to outflank the SNP from the right. In last year's Scottish election, Labour was reduced to a pathetic 15 constituency seats, down from 53 in its 1999 landslide. Salmond retains much better personal ratings than Lamont. That Labour celebrated winning the same level of popular support as the SNP in this year's local elections shows how far it has scaled back its ambitions: after all, Salmond has been in power for five and a half years. The party membership is hollowed out, leaving many local parties as battered husks. "It's not even contempt any more – we're laughed at on the doorstep," one senior party source told me. Speeches from party leaders lack any central themes or vision for the future. Labour's flagship policy at the last election was the automatic locking up of anyone caught with a knife in public, an unworkable, reactionary policy. Disgusted middle-class progressives and working-class Scots fled into the arms of the SNP. Instead of youth unemployment, the shortage of social homes or investment in colleges, the party leadership instead obsesses with often petulant attacks on Salmond.
Part of the problem is that Scottish Labour has long been a feudal-style centralised party based around huge personalities. In the 1940s it was Tom Johnston, who served in Churchill's wartime coalition and had practically dictatorial powers in Scotland; then Willie Ross in the 1960s and 1970s, a dour Presbyterian who famously denounced the then-rising Scottish Nationalists as "Tartan Tories"; then, of course, the likes of Gordon Brown, Donald Dewar and Robin Cook. Today there is an insular triumvirate – Lamont, her deputy, Anas Sarwar, and Margaret Curran in Westminster – who are obsessed with the 2011 electoral slaughter but doggedly refuse to listen to the advice of others.
Missing voters
Polls show that those most attracted by independence are exactly those Labour should naturally champion: those in deprived areas, council tenants, private renters, the unemployed and the young. Here are those who anticipate a bleak future in modern Scotland. A vibrant left is growing outside of the Labour party, with more than 800 Scots flocking to the Radical Independence Conference in November to debate what a progressive independent Scotland might look like.
If anyone was to grab the Scottish Labour leadership by the lapels, this is what they should tell them. That the SNP has positioned itself to the left gives Labour political space to be radical. Working-class and young voters who have deserted the party need to be inspired again. Opposition to independence should not be about Union Jack flag-waving or economic blackmail, but rather about the shared interests of call-centre workers, supermarket assistants and nurses north and south of the Border. Working people in Scotland, England and Wales built the welfare state together and they should unite to defend it again, particularly as it is savaged (again) by ideologically warped Tories. Instead of warbling on about the Union, Labour could champion a new federal Britain run in the interests of working people.
If Scottish Labour continues as it is – devoid of any coherent vision and unable to inspire those who have deserted it – then Salmond has little to fear. Scottish nationalism will not want for recruits. This will not be the Strange Death of Scottish Labour: it will be its Entirely Explainable Suicide. But it is not just the party's future at stake. Its failures could lead to Britain as we know it being dismantled.

NR schools plan $429,000 in projects
A portion of New Richmond Middle School's roof needs replacement, but district officials hope to put the project off for another year to catch up on other needs.
"Bob (Parent) will do some patching to keep it another year," Brian Johnston told the school board on Monday night. "We were going to replace it this year but Bob said he'd rather do a lot of the little things he's been putting off and do the roof over the next two years."

Jasdip - your Better Than PAM recipe
It's GREAT! Thanks so much for sharing it. I also sent it to a friend who is a fab cake decorator and she's thrilled too. Says it will save her a TON of $$$.
Here you go Sharon. There's talk about it on page 2 on the homemade non-stick shortening thread. I also mentioned how easy it is to use on the bundt pan thread.
Better Than Pam Coating
1/2 cup corn, canola or vegetable oil
1/2 cup shortening, room temperature
1/2 cup flour
Beat all ingredients with an electric mixer until it has increased in volume slightly and resembles marshmallow cream.
Store in a covered container in the cupboard. If it separates upon sitting, just stir before using. You can spread it with a brush, but I just scoop it up with my fingers.
Beth, it lasts a long time, and since none of the ingredients are found in the refrigerated section of the store, storing in the cupboard is fine. Just make a half-batch if you're worried.
I find that it does separate but a quick mix with my fingers (I use my fingers to spread it anyway), and it's ready to go.

Remember Me
The luck of the Irish, coinciding with the Allman Brothers' yearly March Madness, has inspired a special evening of music at NYC's Bowery Ballroom on St. Patrick's Day, Sunday, March 17th.
With the Allman Brothers Band having a night off from their epic Beacon Theatre run, the ever-busy Oteil Burbridge (ARU, Gov't Mule, Vida Blue, Allmans) will bring his bass over to the Bowery Ballroom to join Jason Crosby & Friends. This gathering will also feature Jeff Sipe (ARU), Richie Cannata (Beach Boys, Billy Joel), Walter King (B.B.'s nephew on flute, saxophone) and, as always, possible guests! Last year's Jason Crosby & Friends show saw the stage quickly immersed with some of the nation's finest musicians — many of whom have since achieved national popularity with their own bands — and this year's Bowery Ballroom show promises to be even better. Not to mention the fact that it's being held in one of the finest music venues in New York, and this beautiful stage is theirs to create an evening of music and magic.
Also on the bill for this special event is the fast-rising David Kolker Band. After turning heads at shows with Robert Randolph, Railroad Earth, Dirty Dozen Brass Band and Next Tribe, this group has subsequently sold out headlining spots at NYC's Mercury Lounge and Knitting Factory. The fountain of sounds and tones that pour from David Kolker's stratocaster, and the overall energy of his fine band, has generated a lot of excitement.
The David Kolker Band will start the evening with a set at 8pm. With all of these players in one room at one time, the possibilities are absolutely endless. But expect a truckload of music!
Jason Crosby & Friends
Sunday, March 17 | Bowery Ballroom
6 Delancey | New York, NY | 212.533.2111
Show 8pm | 18+
Tickets $12 adv/$15 day of show

Canstar Community News - ONLINE EDITION
Funding nearly in place for Sunrise Park renewal
The final domino to Rotary Sunrise Park renewal began to teeter at East Kildonan – Transcona Community Committee on March 19.
The committee approved a $40,000 Community Incentive Grant to help build two new play structures at the park on Shauna Way in Harbour View South. However, the city's Community Services Department recommended the grant be denied, because the $40,000 would push the City of Winnipeg's total contribution to over half of the $183,000 cost. Because of this, the grant will need to be approved by city council. Coun. Russ Wyatt (Transcona) said he expects his fellow councillors to give the grant the thumbs-up at the next meeting April 24.
"I think council will be supportive," he said. "They've been supportive of situations like this elsewhere in the city."
Geoff and Regan Archambault have played a major role in fundraising, putting up $30,000 of their own money while the Rotary Club of Winnipeg East A.M. is putting up $10,000, the Transcona Playground Renewal Association is contributing $7,000, and the local Neighbourhood Association is putting up $9,000. The rest is slated to come through various funding from the city.
Geoff, now the Rotary Club chapter's past president, explained the major plan for renewal involves installing two brand-new play structures in the park— one for two-to-five-year-olds and the other for six-to-12-year-olds.
As well, the group hopes to improve drainage at the park, add an asphalt path, and plant new trees. Construction is expected to take place this fall.
"We're also going to be putting up a bulletin board, so people can put up notices of garage sales, just to try to get the community more involved with everything," he said.
He also hopes to start a sponsor-a-tree program. Those interested in more information can contact Archambault at 204-997-1761.
