Cornerstone CellarsRead MoreCornerstone Cellars piles oenophiles' palates with tastings of wine and cheese in an elegant tasting room adorned with eclectic artwork and TVs. Drinking duos will imbibe the winemakers' vintage Stepping Stone Rocks! red and white nectars, carefully comparing the French-inspired amalgamations of varietals, aromas, and Parisian mime tears. A smattering of cheeses complements each wine's unique flavors, allowing guests to experiment with pairings until they find the combination that unlocks wine's hidden notes of bacon. After emptying glasses and polishing off plates, pairs receive bottles of Stepping Stone Rocks! red and white to sip at home or use to strengthen core muscles by balancing them on their heads.6505 Washington StYountville, CA US
Somerston Wine Co.Read MoreSomerston Wine Co. stocks its modern, ranch-style tasting room with casks reflecting the diverse yield of local vineyard blocks. Set taste buds to ?sommelier? with a Highflyer wine tasting, which features 2-ounce samples of eclectic vintages including the fruity and floral grenache blanc 2009, the chocolate-toned Centerline 2007 red blend, and the cherry-laden pinot noir 2008.

Trinitas CellarsRead MoreGenerally, sipping wine in a cave is frowned upon. But at Trinitas Cellars, it's encouraged. Inside Trinitas Cellars' 40-foot-deep estate cave, guests sip custom wine flights and learn about flavor notes while surrounded by beautiful natural stone, extravagant furnishings, and Batman's surplus gadgets. Across the street at The Trinitas Library, they take education a step further. There, patrons learn about the life cycle of the grape, the different vineyard seasons, the trinity of elements that make up Trinitas Cellars's philosophy of sun, soil, and humanity, and the lives of the growers who cultivate it all. The library also offers the opportunity to taste a handful of Trinitas's library vintages, alongside their Reserve and Family Collection wines not poured in the Estate Cave, including an Amarone, which the winery produces in Italy. The Estate tasting cave, the Trinitas library, and vineyards?as well as remote wine bars throughout the Meritage Collection of properties?are the product of one single family: Garrett and Betsy Busch own and operate Trinitas. The family harnesses Napa's grapes and climate to handcraft full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignons, bright Chardonnays, and other varietals under the Trinitas label.875 Bordeaux WayNapa, CA US
Ceja VineyardsRead MoreThe history of Ceja Vineyards dates back the 1950s, when Pablo Ceja, then working in St. Helena vineyards, dreamed of owning his own land where his ever-expanding family could grow their own grapes and make their own wine. Fueled by this dream for a better life for his children, Pablo moved his family from Mexico to the Napa Valley in 1967. Fortunately, 2 of his 10 children, Pedro and Armando, inherited his passion for wine and belief in hard work. When they were old enough, Pedro and Armando planted their first pinot-noir grapes in 1986 and, 13 years later, officially founded Ceja Vineyards with their wives and children. Today, the Cejas' operation boasts 113 producing acres and a chic wine-tasting salon where guests can enjoy sips of the vineyard's red and white varietals, artisan cheeses, gourmet food items, and featured works from local artists. In good Ceja tradition, Pedro and Armando's kids are now beginning to purple their feet in the family business as well. Pablo's family has undoubtedly made him proud; they've done much since their humble beginnings in St. Helena. The family hopes their story of hope and determination surfaces in every sip of their lovingly cultivated wines.1248 1st St.Napa, CA US
Judd's Hill WineryRead MoreMusic, ceramics, architecture, and grapes: Art Finkelstein worked with a wide range of creative media over the years. But nothing spoke to him quite like winemaking?not even running his first successful vineyard, Whitehall Lane Winery. Seeking to return to a more hands-on role in the winemaking process, he opened Judd's Hill Winery on 14 sprawling acres of Napa Valley countryside. Here, his family devotes their attention to keeping the quantities of their wine small, but the quality of those batches high. The resulting bottles tempt palates of every persuasion and astrological sign, with selections ranging from crisp, refreshing whites to complex and balanced reds. And the Finkelsteins freely share their viticultural knowledge?the winery offers microcrush services to aspiring vinters, and hosts educational courses on blending wines and pairing quaffs with cuisine.2332 Silverado TrlNapa, CA US

Jews Lose Nobel Prize
Literature award goes to Herta Mueller, not Oz or Roth
So it turns out the Nobel Prize for Literature has gone not to the Israeli novelist Amos Oz, as some people were predicting, or to Philip Roth, who others (though fewer others, it seemed) thought was a leading contender. Instead, the winner of this year's Nobel Prize for Literature is Herta Mueller, a Romanian-born German novelist whom none of us had heard of until this morning. She is 56 years old, and she immigrated to Germany in 1987, after years of persecution and censorship in her native country, according to The New York Times. The Swedish Academy, in announcing the award, praised Mueller, "who, with the concentration of poetry and the frankness of prose, depicts the landscape of the dispossessed." This year is the 20th anniversary of the fall of European communism, and Mueller opposed the Ceausescu regime and was a member of Aktionsgruppe Banat, which the Times describes as "a group of dissident writers who sought freedom of speech." Also intriguing: the Times notes that her father served in the SS during World War II.

|NCAA approves Howard transfer to USC
|Written by Admin
|Monday, 26 August 2013 15:11
Point guard Pe'Shon Howard received a legislative relief waiver from the NCAA that allowed him to return home to be closer to his ailing grandmother.
The 6-foot-3, 190-pounder started 44 of 83 games in three seasons at Maryland. He averaged 3.3 points, 2.4 rebounds and 3.6 assists last season while helping lead the Terrapins to the NIT semifinals.
As a senior, Howard will be eligible for the upcoming season.
Enfield says Howard's grandmother helped raise him in Los Angeles. He attended Oak Hill Academy in Virginia.
Last week, center D.J. Haley joined the Trojans after graduating from VCU this summer. He will have one year of eligibility at USC.

Bringing Japan games to US hard/expensive?

So amazing.
What I wanted to know was what does the coding of a game look like?
What I was thinking is, let's say the in game script looks something like this:
{Subtitle}:[insert photograph:Cecil]I don't feel right about this, Kain.{End Subtitle}
{Subtitle}:[insert photograph Kain]I know, but it's the king's orders.{End Subtitle}
Where every time it says {Subtitle} it is adding a blue dialog box in the game, with whatever is written after that is showing up in the blue box. I was thinking couldn't you just find every instance of {Subtitle}, copy the text following it into a translation program, convert to a different language, and then copy/paste back? So basically I am leaving everything else in the code the same, except I am changing "I don't feel right about this, Kain" into a different language. So all that is happening is something different appears in the blue box.
I'm sure there's a bunch of other crap I simply do not understand. They have to code it to load movies, play music, all that stuff, but I am not touching any of that.
I'm probably way oversimplifying it though.

If relying on machine translation were as simple as you think it is, we would have been getting Japanese games much sooner.
Running Japanese text though google translate will mostly result in gibberish except maybe for single words, such as menus. While languages closer to English (such as German, Italian, French) are understandable if a bit awkward when run through a translating machine, Japanese grammar and syntax are so different a human's understanding is required to make a decent, accurate translation. My first job was as a Japanese translator and while Google translate would have made my job easier, I NEVER used it beyond a couple of times as the resulting translation CAN NOT BE TRUSTED.

Workers discover remains of ancient temple in Bali
More News from Associated Press
BALI, Indonesia—An archaeologist says a structure that is believed to be the remains of an ancient Hindu temple has been unearthed on Indonesia's resort island of Bali.
Wayan Swantika of the local archaeology agency says workers digging a drainage basin last week in eastern Denpasar, Bali's capital, at first discovered a large stone about 1 meter (3 feet) underground.
Excavation teams have since uncovered a 57-meter (62-yard) structure that is believed to be the temple's foundation.
The find is still being analyzed, but given the shape and characteristics of the materials used, Swantika says he believes it was built sometime between the 13th and 15th centuries. He added that it is also thought to be the largest ancient temple ever discovered in Bali.

His name is Vernon Wells.
Although, if things don't go well, he will be known as Not Carl Crawford.
The Angels tried to get Crawford last fall and wound up with Wells on Friday night. The two outfielders share almost nothing, except a Texas birthplace and a tax bracket.
Wells cost the Angels a couple of players, and free agent Crawford wouldn't have.
Wells has tried to play through shoulder and wrist injuries in Toronto, with predictable damage to his numbers, and Crawford is three years younger and thus more kinetic.
Wells has more power and is fine defensively, at least in comparison to the bowling pins Mike Scioscia has been forced to position.
For devotees of OPS, which adds on-base percentage to slugging percentage and thus expands the importance of home runs, Wells is at .804 for his career and Crawford .781, although Crawford's 2010 figure was .851, edging Wells by four points.
If you like Runs Created, which combines runs and runs batted in, subtracts the home runs and thus provides a much clearer picture, Crawford had 181 and Wells 136 last season.
The Angels know Wells is not Crawford. They tried to get Crawford first, remember.
But if Wells is just Wells, circa 2010, and if fans can clear the dollar marks from their brains every time he comes to bat, then all of us can sit together peaceably and watch, like Democrats and Republicans.
The money figure shouldn't mean a thing. It's Arte Moreno's money, not ours.
If he were to bring together a playoff team with a $60 million payroll, that would be swell.
If he has to spend upwards of $140 million to get the Angels back into October, that is nobody's problem but his.
If baseball had a salary cap as hockey and football do, the fans could justifiably scream. How can they possibly afford to pay Wells $23, $21, $21 and $21 million the next four years when they have to fund eight other lineup slots and a pitching staff?
But that was Moreno's choice. Such an expenditure will not be passed on to the customer because, in truth, it already has been.

In an attempt to improve the Wild's depth up the middle and perhaps sign an eventual bargain the Wild will bring veteran center David Steckel into training camp on a professional tryout agreement. Steckel who has played 419 games for four teams over eight NHL seasons was one of the out-of-work victims of the shrinking salary cap this summer. "It was a difficult summer" said Steckel 31 a faceoff specialist who played 21 games for the Anaheim Ducks last season. "I'd like to still think that I can play in the NHL. I'm thankful Minnesota gave me an opportunity so in the end hopefully I can make an impression and stick with the team." Steckel who led the NHL in 2010-11 by winning 62.3 percent of his faceoffs for Washington and New Jersey and has the second-best career faceoff winning percentage among active NHLers (.583 since 2005-06) has a strong identity as a player coach Mike Yeo said. Knowing that he is not a scorer (79 career points) Steckel is a big body at 6-6 who is responsib...

Regulators have approved a deal for Chugach Electric Association to buy Fire Island wind power, a move that should allow Cook Inlet Region Inc. to go ahead and build a windmill farm on the island.
There's been talk of building wind turbines on Fire Island, about three miles offshore from Kincaid Park on Anchorage's western tip, since the early 1990s. Now it looks like it's finally going to happen.
"We expect that as soon as the ice is off the inlet in April we'll start mobilizing construction equipment out there. We expect first power sometime in September 2012," CIRI spokesman Jim Jager said Tuesday.
Chugach Electric, Alaska's biggest electric power utility, figures Fire Island wind power will replace about 4 percent of its total electric energy needs.
Chugach estimates the deal will initially result in a 1.7 percent increase in a typical residential bill. The utility forecasts the 25-year wind power agreement will save customers money over the longer term, though, with expected increases in the price of natural gas.
The utility's contention of a cost savings came under dispute as the Regulatory Commission of Alaska weighed whether to approve the deal. But the RCA also heavily considered the Legislature's statements that Alaska needs more renewable energy.
"We find that this wind project is an opportunity to facilitate important public policy initiatives at a minimal cost to Chugach's member-owners," said the commission's order issued late Monday night approving the deal.
Jim Nordlund, a member of the Chugach Electric board, called it "a great decision that allows us to be less dependent on diminishing Cook Inlet gas reserves."
The commission said if it didn't approve the deal by Monday then the $90-million project was going to fall through. CIRI has said it needs to get going on the project in order to qualify for nearly $19 million in federal stimulus grant money available to developers of renewable energy.
The Legislature has also appropriated a $25 million grant available to be used to build the underwater transmission line to get the electricity from Fire Island to Anchorage.
CIRI officials described the commission's approval as the last big hurdle for the project to become a reality. The next step is for CIRI to close its commercial financing arrangements. That couldn't happen until the RCA ruled.
The agreement calls for CIRI to deliver electricity to Chugach from 11 wind turbines that are capable of producing up to 17.6 megawatts of power. That's enough to provide electricity to power more than 6,000 homes, according to CIRI.
The 11-turbine wind farm is one-third of the size that CIRI had hoped to build. Chugach is the only utility that has signed on to buy Fire Island power, so CIRI created a scaled-back first phase, with the possibility of expanding the wind farm in the future.
Alaska Democratic Sen. Mark Begich on Tuesday praised the approval of the deal, sending out a statement saying "this is good news for creating jobs in Alaska and good news for our ongoing efforts to diversify the energy mix for Southcentral Alaska."
Wind power advocates also cheered. "This is a huge step toward energy diversification and price stability in the Railbelt," said Steve Cleary, who advocates for renewable energy with the Alaska Public Interest Research Group. "Whereas other proposed energy sources are many years away, Chugach customers can now expect to be using renewable wind power as early as 2012."
The commission said it received more than 150 comments from the public, for and against approval.
Alex Gimarc, a former member of the Chugach Electric board of directors, argued that wind energy is notoriously variable and unreliable, and that it was a bad deal for ratepayers "It will increase overall costs to all railbelt electric consumers, not result in any decrease in reliance on natural gas, and is based upon flawed economic models for costs of future natural gas," Gimarc wrote.
The state attorney general's office and Municipal Light and Power disputed Chugach's assertion that the deal will save ratepayers $3 million over the 25-year term of the contract as natural gas prices rise. The attorney general's office and ML&P suggested it could instead cost the utility $12.9 million over the 25-year contract.
But the Regulatory Commission of Alaska decided in its ruling that Chugach's estimate of the cost benefit was "reasonable."
"We have no crystal ball, nor does Chugach, ML&P, or the AG. With the benefit of hindsight, Chugach's cost-benefit analysis may prove perspicacious or it may make Chugach appear quite foolish. Based on the record we have, we think it most likely that, over the term... this deal will neither significantly harm nor greatly benefit Chugach's member-owners financially because the (Fire Island) Project contributes only four percent of the power Chugach sells," the commission said.
The commission didn't come to its conclusions on Fire Island easily. Commissioner Robert Pickett wrote "this is one of the most challenging and frustrating dockets I've been involved with during my tenure as an RCA Commissioner."
The commission's approval included the condition that Chugach reimburse other Railbelt utilities for any costs that might come from integrating the fluctuations of wind power into the grid. Chugach says that won't be an issue with this project but that it's willing to have a compensation agreement with the other utilities in order to ease the concerns.
The RCA ruling emphasized that the Alaska Legislature passed a bill last year saying the state intends to obtain 50 percent of its electric generation from renewable and alternative sources by 2025 Anchorage Republican Sen. Lesil McGuire, who has been active in energy legislation, put out a statement Tuesday saying "this is a great day for Alaska and marks an important step in our efforts to diversify our energy supplies and bring private capital to Alaska's electric grid."

James Franco had apparently tried to hook up with a 17-year-old Scottish teen via Instagram after she saw him appearing on Broadway in Of Mice and Men.
According to the New York Post, Lucy Clode has claimed that the 35-year-old actor struck up a conversation over the photo-sharing site, enquiring about her age, whereabouts and whether she had a boyfriend.
After replying to his queries and giving him her number, the blonde asked him to give her some proof of his identity, at which the star clicked and sent her a photo of himself holding a piece of paper with her name on it.
Clode also shared that the star had started texting her, and even asked if he should book a room at the hotel where she was staying.
After the controversial news spread, Franco shared on Instagram warning parents to keep their teens away.
Coincidently, the '127 Hours' actor portrays a pervert soccer coach in his upcoming film 'Palo Alto', and is seen seducing his 14-year-old babysitter, played by Emma Roberts.

During their latest financial earnings call – the same one that revealed a Division delay – Ubisoft explained a little about the direction it was headed in, and gave a glimpse of what we might expect from the company in the future. And what can you expect? The same sort of open world experiences that you already get from them.
AMD has a reputation among gamers for delivering the best price to performance. They're the go-to-guys to eke the best performance out of the tightest budget. In short, when it comes to building a PC, they're the cost-effective solution. It's also often meant that the company doesn't have a competitive enthusiast level part when compared to Intel. That's changing.
Both the PlayStation 4 and the Xbox One are doing rather well. The Ps4 has sold over 20 million units, and while the Xbox One seems to be doing a little more poorly, the console is selling better than its predecessor was at this point in the lifecycle. The future, for consoles, is bright. Or is it? According to Twitch's boss, these are the last consoles we'll see.
Every couple of years, we get all hyped up about the future. And the future, we're led to believe, will be delivered right to our eyeballs thanks to Virtual Reality. I lived through the Virtual Boy and those large, bulky VR experiences in the arcades of yore, so I have a healthy scepticism when it comes to Virtual Reality – but with advances in the technology, thanks to the Rift and subsequent headsets like Vale's Vive and Sony's Morpheus, that incredulity is slowly waning. Microsoft? They're still not convinced.
Those who've moved on from this physical media nonsense and who've got bandwidth to burn can, as of this weekend, pre-load the digital version of GTA V on the PlayStation 4. Unfortunately, as many noticed, there seems to be a few problems with the pre-load.
Right now, thanks to the new consoles and the games that accompany them, video games as an industry are on an upswing. They're not the only thing contributing to the gaming market's revenue incline though; free-to-play games are generating more income than most of us core gamers would like. Still, they're not enough to keep things swimming; according to a report we can expect a sharp drop in PC and console gaming in 2019.
When Microsoft first announced its Xbox One, the console was a DRM nightmare. The thing would required a persistent internet connection , and would phone home to Microsoft every 24 hours to make sure your digital game licences were valid. One of the benefits of this cumbersome DRM was that it would enable Xbox one users to share their digital libraries. The entire idea was hailed as idiotic..right until Steam announced something similar. The axed feature could make a return.
I was in the Steam in-home streaming beta, and it was like a glimpse in to the future. Naturally, it had mixed results and is entirely dependent on your home network, but i was able to stream my steam games from my desktop, to my underpowered laptop connected to my TV, and have it all be rather playable. It's now out of beta, so you all get to try it too!
I'm cautiously optimistic about the new virtual reality revolution. I've had some eyeballs-on time with the Rift, and while it wasn't quite there it was an interesting experience. With Sony set to introduce its own virtual reality headset targeted at its consoles, maybe this time the fad will actually catch on. Oculus rift founder Palmer Luckey believes it'll do more than just catch on. In the future, he posits, it will replace TV's entirely.
I have such mixed feelings about the Kinect. I honestly do think it's the closest thing to "future tech" that we have right now - voice and gesture commands are pretty cool. However, the big brother concern is always prevalent. If I had a theme song, that might just make it all better.
Back before Epic first showed off their fancy new Unreal Engine 4, they did a demo of version 3.5 of their Engine at GDC 2011, via a rather impressive Samaritan demo. At GDC this year, the engine purveyor confirmed that it's working on yet another new IP – and indications point to it being based, at least in part, on that Samaritan demo.
Love it or hate it, but Microsoft's DirectX API is what makes most of your PC games run. It's also the reason most PC gamers are still sticking with windows, despite pushes from companies like Valve to get them to embrace the penguin. that battle rages on, as Microsoft plans to unveil its latest iteration of DirectX at this year's GDC.
Right now, the Xbox One's system software isn't quite as fluid and functional as it should be. Its friends, party and chat system is effectively broken, and the standalone apps that replace basic, intrinsic functionality that users were accustomed to on the Xbox 360 make things slower and more cumbersome than they should rightly be. It's going to get better.
The Xbox One is out in the US tomorrow, and one of its central pillars is that fact that you can talk to it, pretending its HAL 9000. While your Xbox One won't ultimately try and kill you, it will respond to a number of voice commands, removing that herculean nuisance of actually having to press buttons. Here's a list of all the things you can ask your Xbox to do.
Speaking about the future of gaming at a recent Nvidia event, tech guru John Carmack has predicted that PC gaming technology will grow in leaps and bounds over the next five years, leaving consoles eating dust. This, of course, is not really news – and is really just Moore's Law. Carmack's predictions are interesting nonetheless.

South America: Colombia to Ushuaia - A 'realistic' timeline

Filthy, poor KLR dweeb

Hey bananaman, I'm sorry I didn't go to your ancestral home and eat guinea pig with your locals around Yaviza.
But I'm going to get a chance to do something else crazy. Just got word that I'm being sent down to Palmer station, Antarctic peninsula. I've had this thought for the last 5 years since I left the South Pole that if I can get to Palmer I can ship my KLR down. I'll be coming off the ice close to November, in Punta Arenas. I'm guessing Ushuaia may be cold & gnarly. Though there's 3 feet of snow and it is still dumping in Crested Butte right now.
Any suggestions for who I can call to ship the KLR down to Punta Arenas?
I'm thinking 6 to 9 months travel if I ride all the way back up. Perhaps I will even pay to see Tikal, this time. ;-D

This month, the FT interviewed a senior executive at Uber in India about the US taxi-hailing company's plans for rapid expansion in the country. But later that week, a 25 year-old woman said she had been raped by her Uber driver in New Delhi. The government banned the service from operating in the capital and asked state governments to ban all unregistered web-based taxi services.
Swept away by its bold ambitions, it seems Uber has fallen foul of local circumstances in its rush to recruit new drivers. The company declined to discuss this and related issues followed the alleged rape. But are Indian taxi services any more cautious in selecting their drivers? And assuming Uber gets past the rape case, can it go on to succeed in India? Read more

Source of Haiti cholera bug goes under microscope
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti The death rate from the Haiti cholera epidemic that has killed more than 7,000 people over the past two years has finally ebbed, but the debate about the source of the disease has only grown more heated.
That renewed controversy came into sharp focus following the recent release of a study led by a University of Maryland cholera expert renowned in the scientific community.
Challenging prevailing wisdom, the study found that Haiti had not just one cholera strain but a second one that may have been lurking undetected prior to the arrival of a United Nations peacekeeping battalion from Nepal. Many finger the battalion as the chief culprit for a disease that has sickened more than half a million people. The study fell short of explicitly blaming the epidemic on the newly discovered strain but said it was a factor.
It was enough to reignite discussion about the disease and heighten political tensions between two camps who have argued over whether it was humans or the environment that could've introduced cholera to Haiti.
"Those are the two groups duking it out," said Judith Johnson, a professor of pathology and clinical microbiology at the University of Florida. Johnson described the episode as a "clash of the titans."
Report author Rita Colwell, a former director of the U.S. National Science Foundation, said she wasn't taking sides in the debate: "I'm not attacking anyone; I'm a scientist."
Regardless, her paper, published in the respected journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, challenged the view that the U.N. was responsible for the deadly disease. Instead, it argued, a "definitive statement of source attribution cannot yet be made" as it called for the creation of a public database to study cholera strains.
The report added that a "perfect storm" of environmental circumstances in 2010 enabled the bacteria to surface, as the impoverished country was hit by a massive earthquake, a hurricane and a "very hot summer season."
Only a few months after a massive earthquake hit the country, cholera had popped out of seemingly nowhere even though there had been no previously documented cases of cholera, according to researchers at Duke University.
Following the outbreak in Haiti's biggest river, the Artibonite, the disease raged through the country's waterways and appeared in all 10 administrative departments a month later.
It seemed inevitable that the disease would circulate so easily. Cholera, whose symptoms consist of rapid dehydration and vomiting, is spread through water or food contaminated by the bacterium, easily so in Haiti because the country lacks a proper sewage and sanitation system.
The scene turned ghastly. People fell dead in the streets. Government employees scooped up bodies and buried them. Aid workers stretched thin by the earthquake set up makeshift rehydration units, handed out soap and clean water and tried to save lives.
"If you have cholera, you and death are so close together," recalled 59-year-old Pierre Antoine, who was holed up at a treatment center with the illness for two weeks. "I don't wish this upon anyone."

continued "We have guaranteed annual income for the life of the agreement," said Mahan, who argued the deal was one example of her "outside of the box" approach to governance.
The agreement set off fierce debate, with some questioning whether it would be that lucrative for the town, but Mahan stands behind the numbers now that the transition is well underway.
Denise Sheehan, who made a run for Mahan's supervisor seat in a contested and close election race, was vocal in her opinion that the town should have "held out" for a better deal and ended up settling for one that "underestimated" the landfill's true value, claiming it could be worth as much as $600 million after reviewing a study by Clough Harbor and Associates engineering firm.
"You're not putting this thing on eBay," said Sheehan in August. "You have to ask, 'Are you getting what it's worth?'"
Sheehan also criticized Mahan and the town for transferring landfill employees to town positions, saying taxpayers would be forced to fund salaries for 21 new employees.
Department of Public Works Commissioner Jack Cunningham maintained the town had gone with the most lucrative bidder for the landfill and that no additional revenue needed to be built into the budget to accommodate the transferred positions.
A hard-fought road to reelection
From Mahan's point of view there was much to boast about in 2011. But, there was at least one part of the year Mahan didn't enjoy.
"It's difficult to go through the process of a campaign and election every two years, so I find that challenging," said Mahan.
Mahan's run against Sheehan ended in victory but the road wasn't always smooth.
"I'm certainly pleased with the results of the election but I was disappointed in some of the campaign tactics that were used throughout the campaign," said Mahan, who previously called the race one of the dirtiest she'd been involved in. "It differed from other campaigns I've seen in the town and gone through."

Last August, two groups of scientists announced the discovery of the smallest extrasolar planets found to date. But just what are these Neptune-size worlds? Are they gas giants, ice giants, or oversized Earths? Astronomer Alan Boss examines the possibilities.
In the past decade, more than 130 extrasolar planets have been discovered. Almost all have been found using a technique that measures tiny changes in a star's radial velocity, the speed of its motion relative to Earth. Astronomer Alan Boss tells the story how the first of these discoveries came about.
The existence of extrasolar planets has become common knowledge in the past decade. But in the mid-20th Century, the search for worlds orbiting other stars got off to a rocky start. Alan Boss, an astronomer with the Carnegie Institution of Washington, recounts the early days of extrasolar planet-hunting.

Some of you are sort of missing my point.
To illustrate my point, let's say your mother is a naive, trusting old woman (and you are in a coma so there is no one to advise her.)
And let's say your late father collected vintage cars and had a rare, mint, old car that was worth a small fortune. Your mother has no idea of the car's true worth, to her it is simply an old car. She puts an ad in the paper selling the car for $500 (a fraction of its market value) to help pay your mounting hospital bills. Some flipper guy jumps on it, offers her $400 which she accepts, never mentions to grandma that the car is worth many multiples of what she is asking and eventually sells the car to a collector for $500K. While legal, this process isn't exactly going to win flipper the Citizen of the Year Award.
I think someone took advantage of the seller especially the way this deal evolved. The buyer, who undoubtedly knew what the rackets were worth, could have at least offered her a fair price somewhere in the neighborhood of what the rackets market worth since it was quite obvious she was completely clueless. (If someone else concludes otherwise, so be it. We agree to disagree.) And again, the seller, probably an older woman who sells some things on the auction site to help her scrape by, is at fault for not having any idea of the value of what she was selling. She unwittingly gifted the flipper $300 to $400, maybe somewhat more. I am all for capitalism. However, I have a conscience, too. Some people don't have that problem. A fair deal is just that not taking advantage of some clueless woman's ignorance. Merry Christmas.

Enemy is way crowdier. Squad system's time to shine.
Overcome supremacy with a thunderclap, leap through walls of time, surpass limit and fate, breakthrough future with one chance, and burst with heart in mind.
This is fine. We were able to field almost everybody in the final stage. A far cry from Z2's massive roster where you can't even field all the lead characters.
Personally, they should revive the Ship Support system with some additional new features to it.
I don't think Battle Ships get enough love.

We aren't even to the average title's unit size.
Hell, considering Alpha 3's most likely happening next game, which would probably involve going up against Balmar, I'd actually expect the unit count to jump.
Actually Calico currently has no place in the story unless Cobray comes and wants to relive one of his greatest victories to an unsuspecting Calico.
Calico just wanted to distance himself from being "Just another clone" so with things in in the OG verse as they are what other way could he to distance himself from them, Mass Clone Genocide. Hah give him a R- Gun Rivale Powered for lulz.

No. Didn't see anything that was revolutionary at all about it. Android and iOS do everything I need to do on a phone anyways.

Absolutely not. I saw nothing enticing or worth mentioning. It reminds me of those phones that were specifically made for children to use. Also being web-based doesn't help its cause.

Nope. Ceramic surfaces are, by nature, porous - so even when glazed, a scratch or nick in the countertyop from something dropping on it will look awful after a month or so.
If you're wanting something cut to fit, have you thought of granite? The people who sell stone benchtops will often have 'small offcuts' that they'd be happy to cut and sell. All you need is a thin veneer ('tile') like they use on the outside of buildings and IMHO that would make for a nicer, more durable, finish than ceramic..

The world of Howler's sophomore album
By Zach McCormick
First, the bad news about the Umbrella Sequence: The album art for the local quintet's latest CD, Sparkler Cliché, is a con job. Between the tidy simplicity of the front cover and the inner-flap picture of the band brandishing one of those keyboard-with-a-guitar-neck things (a Moog Liberation, according to singer/keyboardist Ryan Rupprecht), one expects to hear something clean, light, and well suited to synchronized dancing in Flock of Seagulls haircuts. But once the disc goes in, it's clear that any new-wave signifiers on the cover are red herrings. Fancy-keyboard choreography wouldn't even be possible: "If I hold it up, I'll die," Rupprecht recently explained of the Liberation. "It's heavy."
Still, perhaps the fact that the cover is perplexing makes it an apt symbol for the music: Sparkler Cliché seems to generate its own sense of confusion. At any given moment, four or five instrumental parts counterbalance each other. The album winds its way from quirky to delicately pretty to ominous to Guitars of Oncoming Doom in the space of the first two songs. Rupprecht's voice, high and thin, swoops around the noise with lyrics that are as much about sounding cool and creating a mood as they are about literal meaning. The keyboards envelop almost every second of the album--sometimes they chirp, sometimes they shimmer, sometimes they erupt into a fury of futuristic space noise, pushing the song toward its boiling point. Guitarists Nick Sander and Jake Swogger contribute a lightly picked texture in the background, stepping forward occasionally to amp up the emotional pressure with massive descending-note riffs. Drummer Aaron Hagebak and bassist Ryan Masterson lead the band through sudden shifts in tempo and mood that echo an array of anxious thoughts. And together, the band creates the sound of a post-collegiate existential crisis compressed into 53 minutes.
Or maybe pre-collegiate. The Umbrella Sequence are clearly a young band: For starters, their chosen area of operations, angst-through-delicate-layering-of-instruments, is hardly new musical turf. (You may have heard of a certain band from Oxford who once had a hit called "Creep"--they had some success with this sort of thing.) And they don't sound like they've decided exactly who they want to be. Meet them in person and you'll find a bunch of affable guys who seem to be the direct opposites of the overwrought souls on the album. But they do match the profile of the somewhat goofy musicians they're known for being in concert: A recent Umbrella Sequence show featured emotional renditions of Cliché's songs, cut with an onstage squid-eating challenge and women volleying their underwear from the audience.
Yet this isn't a group who catch Jockeys and promote tentacle-swallowing just for the sake of breaking new ground. In fact, they don't concern themselves much with being cutting edge. As Kurt Vonnegut once said, the problem with art is that everybody wants to build, while nobody wants to do maintenance. There's an honorable middle ground between the avant-garde and the plagiaristic, and the Umbrella Sequence uses that space as their stage. They may not be taking music to strange new places, but Sparkler Cliché is a sterling piece of maintenance work on a dynamically moody genre. It glides through different sonic rooms, evoking a frustration that builds, but never quite explodes. And when that slight deviation from form is a sort of liberation, who needs a Moog?

Tokyo governor passes on Abe's goodwill message on China visit
Published on Apr 26, 2014 5:58 PM
BEIJING (REUTERS) - Tokyo's governor said on Saturday that he had passed on a message from Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe to Chinese leaders that Mr Abe wants relations to improve, during a rare high-level visit as bilateral ties continue to sour.
Governor Yoichi Masuzoe, who was Mr Abe's favoured candidate during the governor election in February, said he delivered the message on behalf of Mr Abe to China's Vice Premier Wang Yang and former top Chinese diplomat Tang Jiaxuan.
Mr Masuzoe said Mr Wang told him in turn to pass on a message that Japanese leaders needed to both speak and act more cautiously.
The 65-year-old Masuzoe is at the end of a three-day visit to China that analysts have said had the potential to open an alternate channel of dialogue between the countries.

Research Topics
In order to predict the response of ecosystem productivity to increasing concentrations of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) and tropospheric ozone (O3), it is necessary to understand how such changes will affect releases of biologically reactive nitrogen (N) during organic matter decomposition. An important component of decomposition and the associated release of N is the production of fine root and mycorrhizal litter. Elevated atmospheric CO2 and elevated tropospheric O3 are likely to alter total plant allocation to fine roots and mycorrhizal fungal symbionts rich in the nitrogenous-containing compound chitin. The proportion of chitin-derived N that is made available to plants as NH4+ during decomposition depends which organisms (or classes of organisms) are responsible for its breakdown. Actinomycetes and fungi are the two groups most active in chitin degradation. Distinguishing which of these two groups dominate chitin degradation in northern hardwood forests under eCO2 and eO3 is important because actinomycetes and fungi decompose the material with differing efficiencies. If fungi dominate chitin decomposition under eCO2 and/or eO3, a greater proportion of the associated NH4+ released would potentially be available for plant uptake. However, if actinomycetes dominate chitin degradation, microbial decomposers would retain a greater proportion of the N in chitin litter that enters the soil, leaving less available for plant uptake and growth. Therefore, this proposal addresses the following two key questions on the effects of changes in atmospheric chemistry on ecosystem function:
1. How will elevated atmospheric CO2 and tropospheric O3 alter belowground plant litter biochemistry?
2. How does microbial community composition influence ecosystem nitrogen availability?
Because N availability often constrains plant growth in terrestrial ecosystems, understanding the mechanisms by which it is influenced by atmospheric chemistry is needed for better predicting ecosystem response to anthropogenic global change.
