Filipinos as money 'experts': Clueless on bonds, stocks, loans
popular .
MANILA, Philippines—One out of every five Filipinos from the middle to upper income groups claims to be an "expert" in money matters. But a global insurance giant recently found that members of these classes perform poorly in a basic financial literacy quiz.
Sun Life of Canada's latest annual study of lifestyles, attitudes and relationships (Solar) showed that Filipinos were typically confident about how they manage their finances, with 20 percent considering themselves an "expert" and sometimes even a "specialist."
However, test scores from the financial literacy quiz given to a group of respondents showed that only 8 percent got a score of more than 80 percent.
The median score was 50 percent, nowhere near the "passing" mark.
Nobody among the respondents scored more than 90 percent, said the research report that Mylene Lopa, Sun Life Financial Philippines chief marketing officer, presented to the media on Thursday.
The study was based on a sample of 1,100 respondents from the Classes A, B and C across the country with a monthly household income of P30,000 and above.
The respondents were between 23 and 55 years of age and were interviewed face to face in the first quarter of the year.
A 16-question financial literacy quiz was introduced this year to measure the level of awareness and knowledge of basic financial concepts and products, and the capacity to apply such concepts.
The wide gap between Filipinos' self-perception and actual financial literacy level is cited by Sun Life as the paradox of financial literacy.
When respondents were asked how they defined financial security, the top answer was "having enough bank savings." Eight out of 10 Filipinos were relying on bank savings, overlooking other options such as life insurance and investments, the research report said.
"Putting one's savings in a bank account remains prevalent and such an approach reveals how Filipinos prepare or underprepare for tomorrow. One's money is intact in a bank account but with so little growth, or even negative real growth, there is doubt if it can ensure one's financial security," the report said.
Since the Solar study was launched five years ago, it has been an "eye-opener" for Sun Life on designing its financial literacy program, said Sun Life Financial Philippines president Riza Mantaring at a briefing that presented 2013 results.
"The report showed us many interesting insights. For instance, Filipinos seem confident in their knowledge of money matters but in fact, lack knowledge of basic financial concepts and how to properly prepare for their future needs. These findings strengthened Sun Life's resolve to continue, expand and enhance its financial literacy campaign," Mantaring said.
Optimistic people
The study found that Filipinos were an optimistic people. Asked how they expected their financial situation to change in the next three to five years, 87 percent expressed a positive outlook.
The report said this optimistic outlook was a probable outcome of the robust macroeconomic backdrop. "The Philippines is moving up, at a time when other countries are reeling from weak economies, political backlash and widespread unemployment," it said.
While the study revealed a lack of knowledge of some financial concepts, Mantaring said it did indicate an improving attitude toward life insurance. "Life insurance is now considered by a third of the respondents a priority purchase for the next two years," she said.
Asked about their priorities in the next two years, the respondents gave the following answers: opening a business (51 percent); purchasing a parcel of land (45 percent); and getting life insurance (39 percent).
Other priorities were an education plan (39 percent), a car/vehicle (37 percent), gadgets (37 percent), health insurance (37 percent), house/condominium (37 percent), house renovation (35 percent) and durables/appliances (27 percent).
While 80 percent prepared for the future by putting savings in
a bank, 30 percent were planning to put up a business. Only 20 percent were planning to get a life insurance and 10 percent were planning to invest.
"Filipinos must be encouraged to learn the basics of proper financial planning and explore a wider array of financial instruments to help them achieve their goals and aspirations," the research said.
Quiz coverage
In the quiz, Filipinos were mostly knowledgeable about topics relating to investment, annual interest rate, credit card, asset, life insurance, real estate, debt, savings accounts and current account. A majority answered questions on these topics correctly.
They typically scored poorly in questions relating to preneed plans, stocks, loans, mutual funds, inflation, a healthy budget and bonds.
Multiple choices were given for each question.
The Quiz included questions such as the following:
1. Which of the following statements about inflation is false ?
a. Higher inflation means higher prices of consumer goods
b. Purchasing power is lower if inflation is high
c. As inflation rises, every peso will buy a fewer amount of goods.
d. None of the above
e. All of the above
2. The formula for a healthy budget should be …
a. Expense + income = Savings
b. Income – savings = Expenses
c. Income – expenses = Savings
d. None of the above
3. If a savings account has an annual interest rate of 2 percent, how much will a P100,000 deposit earn after a year?
a. P2
b. P20
c. P2,000
d. P20,000
4. Which of the following can be considered an asset?
a. Cash
b. Credit
c. Utility bills
d. All of the above
e. None of the above
5. Which of the following can be considered a debt?
a. Insurance
b. Loan
c. Real estate
d. All of the above
e. None of the above
6. Which of the following can be considered an investment?
a. Stocks
b. Taxes
c. Revenue
d. All of the above
e. None of the above
Answers: 1) d; 2) b; 3)c; 4)a; 5)b; and 6)a

You should get out more.
The military dropped the security facade sometime last year, and as of last February ... still no stopping required. You just ride through. No more tacky Rent-A-Cops checking ID/Insurance/registration.
But the advice to GO SLOW through the base still counts. They will nail you for 5 mph over the ultra low limit.
And be SURE to go see Mission San Antonio at the North end of the base.
One of our best and uncrowded California Missions. Perfect stop for a picnic.

Head to towns like Albufeira and Lagos to explore historic Portugese streets and stop a while in one of the region's many restaurants to sample the mouth-watering local cuisine; Faro is not a place to head to if you're on a strict diet. Venture along the beach-lined Atlantic coast to find resorts to suit every need, from the activity-filled child-friendly Lagos, Albufeira and Praia da Falesia to the luxurious marina at Vilamoura, and the historic towns of Silves, Tavira or Sagres.
For a dose of local tradition, seek out the Festa da Mãe Soberana, with its colourful procession welcoming the statue of a saint to the town of Loulé on Easter Sunday. louleuncovered.com
There are several carnival processions in the Algarve, the best being held in the market town of Loulé, with the main avenue hosting three days, on 14-17 February, of live music, stalls, dancing and a grand parade on the Saturday.
Top golfers descend for the Portugal Masters at Oceanico Victoria Golf Club (oceanicogolf.com) in Vilamoura (9-12 October). Faro's Feira de Santa Iria (during the last two weeks of October) is the city's main festival, when the area around the Old Town is taken over by craft and food stalls and exhibitions, with nightly entertainment.
One of Europe's best beachside festivals, Sudoeste takes place just north of the Algarve in Zambujeira do Mar on 6-10 August and this year's event features the likes of John Newman and Jamie Cullum (sudoeste.meo.pt). Also, throughout the summer, check out the amazing creations at the FIESA Sand Sculpture Festival, with whole cityscapes created from over 30,000 tons of sand at Pêra (fiesa.org).
The border village of Castro Marim has two impressive castles facing Spain across the River Guadiana. In August, the Medieval Festival recreates the town's heyday, with crafts, medieval games and entertainment. cm-castromarim.algarvedigital.pt
Spring and early summer are the best times to visit the tiny mountain resort of Caldas de Monchique, set in a tranquil, vivid green valley dotted with chestnut trees. It's long been a famous thermal spa, with a cluster of attractive restaurants and with great local walks into the hills. monchiqueuncovered.com
It might not quite be swimming weather but with sea temperatures rarely below 10ºc, this time of year can be perfect for surfing. Head to the Algarve's surf capital of Sagres: its position means there's always one local beach that catches the best breaks.

Actor Raj Kumar Yadav, who has portrayed the character of Govind in "Kai Po Che!", says he was earlier rejected for the same role.
He admits he was only chosen once casting director Mukesh Chhabra came on board.
"Many people wouldn't know that earlier when it (the film) was with Excel Entertainment, there was another casting director and I had auditioned for the role of Govind and I was rejected.
"After that when Mukesh bhai came on board, a list was given to him that these people have auditioned and they are not to be called, my name was also there in it," Raj Kumar said here Friday at the Andheri Wassup fest.
"But hats off to him, he believed that I could play Govind and he called me and told me, 'You are my Govind, you will play it.' That really helped me, that boosted my confidence," he added.
Chhabra was also present here with another "Kai Po Che!" actor Amit Sadh for an interaction with the students on the importance of casting.
Amit is also all praise for the process of casting.
"The best thing about films today, other than the fact that we are giving great cinema, is that a (proper) process of casting has started. For outsiders who come from different cities, it is tough as they don't know where to go, whom to meet. So I think these are great times," he said.

North Spencer schools facing budget crunch
SPENCER COUNTY, Ind. - Declining enrollment and state funding are forcing the North Spencer School Corp. to think about reconfiguring or even closing schools sometime in the next few years.
North Spencer has 1,936 students. Enrollment over the next 10 years is expected to slide to about 1,700.
The school district's state support was $11.7 million in 2010. Next year, it will be $10.9 million. Indiana's funding formula for K-12 education is enrollment-driven.
North Spencer operates Chrisney, David Turnham, Lincoln Trail and Nancy Hanks elementary schools; Heritage Hills Middle School; and Heritage Hills High School. It's one of two public school districts in Spencer County.
Superintendent Dan Scherry said that over the last three years, North Spencer has managed to "tread water" by eliminating 13 teaching positions (all but one through attrition), not filling an administrative slot and relinquishing an adult education center now being run by Vincennes University.
"We have been able to do those cuts without really effecting programs," Scherry said. "When you compare our class sizes to those around us, we're not out of whack."
The district this year will be using about $300,000 of its $1.7 million rainy day fund to make budget.
Scherry said strategies to achieve cost savings through attrition, consolidation of classes and energy systems management are ongoing, but in the future, the district will have to dig deeper.
A 25-member task force of community members and North Spencer employes has spent the last few months exploring possible solutions.
Short term, the district is considering selling $1.7 million worth of general obligations bonds to offset some capital projects costs, and free up funding for other needs.
Another short-term cost saving option would be reconfiguring of Nancy Hanks and Lincoln Trail — one of which would house preschool through third grade and the other grades 4-6. That would save about $400,000 annually, according to the school district.
Scherry said longer-term cost-saving possibilities include closing one or two elementary buildings, or even closing Heritage Hills Middle School. That would make Heritage Hills High School into a 7-12 building.
The task force considered closing the middle school the "least desirable" option, Scherry said.
Yet another possibility would be closing all four elementary schools and building one large new elementary school for the whole district. It would house grades K-5, and it would be adjacent to the current middle and high school.
The task force also 'explored the possibility of a tax-increase referendum, which if passed by voters would bring in a higher rate of revenue for seven years; and raising money for the school district through interest on a community foundation.
Scherry said the task force's role is to present alternatives for the School Board to consider.
He said that although it will be at least two or three years before any major changes take effect, "I think the board's plans are to chart a path during the summer, start getting things prepared."

NPR Falsely Claims GOP Invented Sequestration
Ahead of the President's State of the Union speech, taxpayer funded National Public Radio (NPR) tried to help the White House push the false notion that the sequestration budget cut policy was conceived by the Republicans. In truth, it was initiated by Obama and pushed by the Democrat Party.
In order to advertise its coverage, NPR tweeted that sequestration was a "Republican invention."
"Though A Republican Invention, Obama Could Get Blamed For Sequester… With the deadline approaching for automatic spending cuts, Republicans in Congress are pushing hard to rebrand the cuts that were agreed to as part of the debt-ceiling agreement of 2011," NPR claimed.
But, the truth is something other than what NPR promulgated. The fact is, sequestration was invented by President Obama and pushed by Harry Reid and House Democrats, not Republicans. It is certainly true that the GOP agreed to the plan, but they did not "invent" sequestration.
Even often left-leaning "fact checker" PolitiFact noted that Obama was the one that invented the sequestration budget conceit and rated "mostly false" any claim to the contrary.
"Obama can't rightly say the sequester isn't his," PolitiFact concluded.
Fortunately, many good folks on Twitter didn't let NPR get away with its less than factual reportage.

Peru's doctors strike in demand for higher pay
More News from Agence France-Presse
LIMA – About 15,000 Peruvian doctors employed by the health ministry went on strike Friday, demanding salary increases and secure government funding, the Medical Federation announced.
The health ministry downplayed the risk to patients from the 24-hour strike.
But Medical Federation president Cesar Palomino hailed the "overwhelming" action.
A march by the protesting doctors ended at Peru's Congress, where they presented a document to government officials with their demands.
Palomino said Peruvian President Ollanta Humala has not fulfilled his election campaign promise to raise salaries for doctors who work for the Health Ministry.
"In Peru, there still are doctors employed by the ministry who earn just 530 soles a month [about $200], while a secretary employed by the ministry after only three years of study receives a salary between 4,000 and 8,000 soles [$1,500-3,000] a month," he said.
The government has increased the pay for the military, judges and teachers, "but for doctors there is no money for salaries," Palomino said.
Meanwhile, Health Ministry spokesman Manuel Larrea said 95 percent of doctors nationwide continued working, indicating the strike caused minimal disruption.

542bhp Brit brawls with 631bhp of American muscle. But which will come out on top?
Posted: 03 Apr 2014
Having done that, a suitable ending would be to chase back to Los Angeles through the moonlit canyons before spending the evening debating, mostly without physical violence, which one was the best and why.
Which is exactly what we had planned. We just hadn't bargained on The Law getting in the way. But, as irritating as it was, especially as we hadn't done anything wrong at that point, it also reminded us why we'd got these two cars together in the first place.

Treasure Coast Chorale celebrates 'Beauty' on Mothers' Day
VERO BEACH - The 80-voice Treasure Coast Chorale will honor all Mothers with "Everything is Beautiful" a concert of music about beauty. This performance will take place at 7 p.m. on Sunday, May 12 at the First Baptist Church in Vero Beach.
"There are so many lovely compositions that concern themselves with beauty that it was difficult to choose among them," said Dr. Michael Carter, Music Director of the Chorale. "I have elected to include a wonderful medley from "Beauty and the Beast," an old favorite song, "Everything is Beautiful," and a new song from Christine Aguilera."
The talented special guests who have been invited to perform this musical tribute include guitarist Dave Mundy, drummer Richie Mola, flutists Emilio Rutllant and "the Dolls." Piano accompaniment will be provided by Judy Carter and the audience will be asked to provide its own beautiful music during the popular sing-along.
The church is located at 2206 16th Avenue and doors will open for seating at 6 p.m. There is no admission charge or tickets but the audience will be asked to give a generous donation to help offset the costs of this musical gift to the community.
For information, call 772-231-3498 or www.treasurecoastchorale.org.

Memphians use technology to express their opinions -- and break news -- on a new medium
It is a world where political correctness and propriety don't always stand a chance. "How long until Cordova turns into Hickory Hill?" asks the cyber host.
Or, how about soliciting votes for Rear End of the Month, though it's worded more harshly. For May, the winner was police director Larry Godwin's son, Anthony, according to the Web site mpdenforcer20.blogspot.com and its anonymous blogger, Dirk Diggler.
The Diggler pseudonym is borrowed from a porn-star character played by Mark Wahlberg in the movie "Boogie Nights," but the Web site is one of millions searching for an audience in a very real 21st Century in which blogs and bloggers have become an often messy alternative to actual talk.
Instead of a lively dinner conversation or a discussion over drinks, Memphians can turn to the Internet for the equivalent of a food fight or barroom brawl in the safety of their own homes. Take the most widely read blog in the city, thaddeusmatthews.com, where the repo man and radio talk show host has become like a guilty pleasure among blog readers.
Matthews bills himself on the site as "Mr. Controversy," digging up dirt on what he calls the city's "poli-trickans." He once led a campaign to dethrone Memphis Mayor Willie Herenton through a recall petition drive. His latest campaign is to track millions of dollars in public money that Matthews claims developer John Elkington has purloined through his management contract with the Beale Street Development Corp.
Matthews is unapologetic about a tabloid approach that, unlike the mainstream media, relies on anonymous sources and thrives on a Jack-the-Ripper approach to journalism. "Having a radio background, I thrive on controversy. That's what people look for," he says.
It is a philosophy that has turned Matthews' blog into one of the few profit-making ventures among local blogs. While most local bloggers are happy to get 300 to 500 readers or "hits" a day, Matthews says he routinely gets 10,000 to 15,000. He has become a lukewarm supporter of Herenton since Herenton spent $2,500 to buy an ad on Matthews' blog, and Matthews says he charges $200 for smaller ads on the site. He sometimes offers package deals with ad spots on his raucous 4-7 p.m. radio show, Express Yourself, on KWAM-AM 990.
His blog is living proof that to communicate effectively, the English language can be spelled any way one chooses. Subjects and verbs don't have to agree, and prepositions are fine to end sentences with. None of that mattered when Matthews generated his biggest audience after the Lester Street massacre in March. With the city still in shock over one of the grisliest mass murders in the nation's history, Matthews posted post-mortem photographs of one victim, a woman, with bullet holes clearly visible. Stories in The Commercial Appeal and on radio and TV about the bizarre Internet postings created a huge spike in his audience that shows up on the Internet blog measurement site compete.com.
"Thanks to you all I got 100,000 hits in two days," says Matthews. As for his own tastes, he says one of his favorite sites is mpdenforcer20. Its author is anonymous, but Matthews says it is run by a Memphis Police Department insider with an anti-administration approach.
Comments to postings on the site are mostly unprintable exchanges with police patrolmen skewering each other and, especially, police brass. Director Larry Godwin's photo is posted on the site, but identified as the Dirk Diggler character. His son, Anthony, received 35 percent of votes cast to win the May vote for posterior of the month. Another poll on the site, asked readers to vote how long it would take for Cordova to become the next Hickory Hill. More than half the voters chose the option: "It already has."
Not all local blogs thrive on blood and guts controversy. Tom Jones' smartcitymemphis .blogspot.com was named "one of the most intriguing blogs" of 2007 by the Pew Partnership for Civic Change. It is one of the few blogs cited by local politicians as one they admit to reading. Jones, a former reporter for the old Memphis Press-Scimitar, worked as senior adviser to three Shelby County mayors before going to work as a public policy consultant for Smart City.
In his blog, he minces no words about issues facing Memphis. Smart City "can't fathom" the idea of Bass Pro Shops taking over the city's signature building, The Pyramid. It warns that Memphis schools have been reduced to a culture based heavily on "race and patronage." It wants the Downtown pedestrian mall and its blocks of empty storefronts opened to cars.
Unlike most bloggers, Jones says he makes no effort to track how many people visit his Web site each day and that he doesn't care. "Early on, we decided that since it's sort of a corporate blog, we were going to care more about attracting the right people who could influence policy rather than worrying about how many people are reading it."
County Commissioner Mike Carpenter is among fans of Smart City: "It makes you think or consider a perspective you might not have thought about before. I might not make a change of position based on what I read, but I would think about what they say and how that meshes with my own thoughts."
One local blog that did affect policy is Paul Ryburn's Downtown blog, paulryburn .com/blog. Ryburn, a former computer literacy and math instructor at the University of Memphis, began the blog in 2004.
"I just started posting about my life in Downtown Memphis. I don't have any kids. I'm not married, so I'd go out a lot at night. It was my personal blog, but a lot of people saw it as a Downtown blog." It has become a popular spot with up to 500 hits a day to learn about events Downtown including club openings and such menu items as sweet potato fries and "Big Muddy" chicken at actor Morgan Freeman's new Ground Zero Blues Club. The site may simply tell you how many beers Ryburn drank the night before at the Flying Saucer, but it also has been a forum to address the problem of aggressive panhandling Downtown.
"Panhandling has always been a sore point with me. I got tired of it. If people are not homeless, they're hustling, scamming and pretending to be homeless. Last summer a friend left her trolley stop at Main and Beale and on her way home she was panhandled six times," he says. Ryburn began posting photos of aggressive panhandlers on a link to his blog, warning that some panhandlers are dangerous.
The site drew the attention of the Center City Commission. Larry Bloom, its public safety coordinator, says he hired private security officers who received 28 hours of training from the Sheriff's Department to deal with panhandlers. Ryburn estimates the patrols have reduced panhandling as much as 90 percent.
Midtown blogger Ryan Jones (at mymidtownmemphis.blog spot.com) gets about 300 hits a day for his roundup of information about art exhibits, club and restaurant events, bands and other Midtown happenings. Jones says he was looking for a "one-stop shop" for information about events in his neighborhood.
"I thought if I was looking for stuff like that then other people might be as well. It took off, and I've had a really positive response."
A former literature and creative writing instructor, Jones now works part-time as a server at two restaurants and uses his blog for a dual purpose, telling readers in a biographical note: "I'm trying my best to put my public relations and journalism degree to work and get out of the restaurant business but it's hard to do."
Special-interest blogger Joe Larkins, a former reporter for WREG-TV Channel 3, began a TV and media blog in 2005 after leaving WREG to run his own video production company, Lead Dog Video. Larkins says a former co-worker who also left the business had started blogging because he missed the newsroom. "I wanted to share some of the behind-the-scenes things that go on in television stations, to give people some insight into what goes on in a newsroom." Some of his biggest traffic is on days when he posts ratings numbers after Nielsen sweeps months.
Larkins gets up to 450 hits a day, occasionally breaking a news story with insider information. He was the first to report that longtime WHBQ-TV anchor Claudia Barr would become co-anchor at WREG-TV and that consumer reporter Andy Wise was moving from WREG to WMC-TV.
He sometimes thinks of blogging as "just another form of citizens band radio. Eventually people got tired of that." To keep it fresh, he compares it to tending a garden: "If you don't go in there, nothing is going to continue to grow. If you've got a nice garden, people will drop by to look at it."
Blogger Steve Steffens represents another realm of blogging, the pervasive political blogs that have sprung up like his leftwingcracker.blogspot .com. A former assistant secretary of the Shelby County Democratic Party, Steffens, a customer correspondent for FedEx, says his goal is "to try and give honest opinion and have some reasonable basis for that to help the people I'm supporting who are running for office and to support liberalism in general."
Steffens says the satisfaction for bloggers is to have some voice. "I know the people who read it make decisions. I'm hoping I can shape the discourse somehow. Like anybody else, I have a bit of an ego. You have to have an ego and be able to take the heat to be able to get anything accomplished."
The blog search engine Technorati estimates there are now 112.8 million blogs on the planet. Among the biggest in the United States are blogs that began as political blogs then morphed into heavily used Web sites. For liberals there is The Huffington Post, for conservatives the Drudge Report. Another rated among the top blogs in the country is the Manhattan site Gawker.com, a celebrity-heavy site. In a recent New York Times Magazine story, former Gawker blogger Emily Gould pondered why she had blogged and sometimes "overshared" her personal life.
She also asked why others blog: "After all, online, you're not even competing for 10 grand and a Kia. I think most people who maintain blogs are doing it for some of the same reasons I do: they like the idea that there's a place where a record of their existence is kept -- a house with an always-open door where people who are looking for you can check on you, compare notes with you and tell you what they think of you. Sometimes that house is messy, sometimes horrifyingly so. In real life, we wouldn't invite any passing stranger into these situations, but the remove of the Internet makes it seem OK."

Dancers from Shen Wei's company dancing in the Tea Garden (2006).

Across the road, Nanette Glushak, director of the Ballet de Toulouse, teaches ballet-program women a fiendishly tricky passage from Balanchine's Theme and Variations, telling tales of Mr. B. (in whose company she danced), and offering such useful advice as "When you don't squeeze your ass on these things, you have no feet at the bottom." Waiting to rehearse the male solo from the Corsaire pas de deux, the men in the program (some of them already professionals) rehash an unexpected challenge of another sort: On the previous day, several of them had swum out into Laurel Lake and rescued a drowning boy.
In another studio, Ananiashvili and her Georgians finish an arduous company class, then go straight into an onstage rehearsal and blast through a "Grand Divertissement" drawn from Marius Petipa's Don Quixote. During one pause, Ananiashvili demonstrates a point to a female soloist. In an instant, the great ballerina turns into a happy, impetuous girl, and the movement comes miraculously alive. It's not just the other dancer who learns something important. Behind me in the nearly empty barn theater, Shawn's ghost whispers, "This is what it's all about."

Steve Kimock & Friends @ Mexicali Blues Cafe 10.03.08
I got to check out Steve Kimock on Friday night at Mexicali Blues Cafe in Teaneck, NJ. I've been to the venue a number of times but not since they made changes to the layout of the venue. Personally I think the changes are great for the audience that likes to keep drinking throughout the show. For those who have never been, there used to be a staircase right in front of the middle of the bar that went up to the small upper level containing tables and a very poor view of the stage. Now the stairs have been moved to the right, giving the audience at the bar a clear line of site to the stage. I also believe this creates more room for tables during more intimate settings like the show I had attended.
Steve Kimock performed an acoustic set with Billy Goodman. It was a nice relaxing set but I'm not one who gets overly excited over acoustic sets. I like it loud, electric and with drumming. The most notable songs for me were the ones I knew, Friend of the Devil, a good rendition of the Rolling Stone's "Send Me Dead Flowers." The good thing about the acoustic set was that I still had my mind in my hands at the time. Then the beers started going down too easily. I love Victory Hop Devil!
The second set took some time for the set up. They were trying to get the right sound out of the electric guitars and drums. Wish it had been quicker because I might remember more but whatever. The crowd lacked excitement. The chairs were still set up from the acoustic set so nobody got out of their seats to get some groove on. There was an ol' drunk lady at the end of the seating area near the bar that got up, but was a little keen on me and my Allman Brothers Tye Dye T-Shirt. Her old man didn't look very happy with her either, but whatever IT WAS FRIDAY!!!! Kimock ripped through a couple nice songs with his very talented guitar play. I'm very happy to have discovered another great guitarist. He is being added to my jambase.com account as a new favorite artist. If anybody reads this, and likes to see live shows I highly suggest signing up for an account. You can add any band not just jam bands and it'll tell you where they are playing within a certain radius (mine is 115 miles). Then find me I'm ihob420.
My ride ended up leaving the show a little early, which was a shame, but we were all loaded (barring the driver). I was happy to finally see some live music, it had been about two weeks from my last live show - TEMPERATURE HOT MUPPET & THE RENDEZVOUS! I went home scarfed down some pizza and passed out on my couch until 7 AM where I promptly accessed Excedrin and Gatorade to start my next day of insane drinking.
All and all I'll rate the first set with a C, only because I'm just not into the acoustic stuff as much. If you are one who is into the acoustic sets then I'd say at least a B. Kimock can rip on guitar and I would definitely love to see him again. I am going to have to pay more attention to the music than how full my glass is. I will get better.
Here is the setlist:
Set 1:
Willin', Walk The Street Alone, On The Run, Kind Hearted Woman, You Are With Me, Friend Of The Devil, Slow Down, Dead Flowers, The Road Must Surely Bend, Good Shepherd
Set 2:
It's Up To You, Best Friend, Night Train, Ship At Sea, Thing One, Cowboy, Many Rivers To Cross,
Me And My Uncle

AboutKeira Rathbone's unique art explores the often forgotten creative tool the typewriter. Her works involve using a typewriter as a drawing and mark making instrument, a discipline that has evolved over a ten year period to create works as stunningly complex as they are beautiful and absorbing. Works and performances are developed from many sources; live events, people and architecture prove that the typewriter is a valid and provocative medium that challenges our perceptions of technology and the creative process. The Brink features new typewriter artworks by Keira Rathbone alongside multi-disciplinary collaborations with Camilla Barnard, Andy Ellis, Verity Flute, Robin the Fog, LaToyah Gill, Nick Johnson, Lolita Laguna, Sean Meacher, mORGANICo and Johanna Parkin.

Getting survey calls is one thing, but receiving one after dialing 911 can be a little unnerving.
I don't call 911 so they can take my information to do a survey, said Julia Sheriden.
The call actually came from a survey company asking how the Seattle Police Department performed during her recent 911 call.
Sgt. Sean Whitcomb says the Seattle Police Department is paying aUniversity of Washington professor to do a study on its officer s responses to 911 calls.
This is an easy way for people to help us out. It s not compulsory, no one has to participate. The person who got the call could have hung up, said Whitcomb.
See, Ms. Sheriden fully understands public service. She served in the Marines and runs the group OARS - Outreach and Resource Services for Women Veterans. That work earned her the 2013 Jefferson Award for community and public volunteerism.
Julia gets that the police may need the information, but she never agreed to have it given to a third party.
If you are willing to put yourself out there for your community to do a job, so you do that. But that doesn't mean the police department that you call for an emergency can turn around and give some contracted company permission to find out about you, she said.
Whitcomb says participants personal information is not releasable. He also adds that calls for domestic abuse, sexual abuse and crimes involving children are excluded from the survey.
After my interview with Whitcomb, I received a call from Jerry Carter from Consumer Opinion Services. It's the company that makes the calls for the study. Carter told me it doesn't perform background checks for its workers in this study, and it hasn't for years.
Sgt.Whitcomb from Seattle Policesaid those conducting the survey only have names and phone numbers of the people they call.He added that it is industry standard that those workers are not subject tobackgound checks.
In the meantime, if you are contacted for the survey, you can participate if you wish. If not, just say no and they won't call you back.

The '90s have not made a comeback with the awkward grunge look and the super matte brown lipstick but a convenient mini trend from the '90s has come back for good. Yes, we are talking about ear cuffs, which were simpler back in the day but are here now in a blingier, brand new avatar.
While the trend seems to have originated with Rodarte showcasing their dragon ear wraps last year, Indian tastes seemed to have been piqued only this year. With stars like Miley Cyrus, Jennifer Connelly, Emma Watson, Jennifer Lawrence, Rita Ora and the current reigning queens of the runway, Miranda Kerr and Cara Delevigne sporting these magical ear wraps, could we be far behind? On the home turf, Vidya Balan, Sonam Kapoor and Jacqueline Fernandes have embraced this bold yet chic piece of adornment.
Slow on the uptake
While the high street has been quick to cash in on the burgeoning trend, jewellers in India are taking a cautious approach. But what we have seen brewing on the work desks of some of India's leading jewellers is promising. "Recent trends have seen a splurge in demand for ear cuffs. It's considered to be very trendy and chic, giving the wearer a classy and elegant look," says Bhavin Jakhia, MD, Om Jewellers, "Ear cuffs with jhumkas and studded uncut diamonds are the latest addition, which I feel will attract both unconventional and conventional buyers."
A new take on tradition
Traditionally, women in India used to wear ear cuffs that were connected with their earrings, or even pinned to their hair. "Off late, trends with different inspirations and motifs have proved that ear cuffs don't have to extend all the way up the ear to add some drama to your outfit," says Prerna Makhariaa, Manager Product Development at Tara Jewels, "Ear cuffs can also be worn if one doesn't want or like to get their ears pierced."
The sky is the limit
Ear cuffs have seen an entire gamut of experimentation, whether they be tiny, fragile hoops with dainty, dangling pearls, which many of us remember wearing in our childhood, or a full-on statement piece. But for starters, focus on an ear cuff that aims for middle ground. "This avant-garde ear cuff from Gehna is breaking new ground in jewellery design. The design is such that it will carry an everyday outfit with élan and at the same time add a classic edge to evening wear," explains xxxxxx. Ear cuffs look best with hair pulled back, thereby framing the face with an ornament. Slender designs with universal motifs like flowers and petals are a much safer bet, if you're not going for the edgy look.

One final issue that we delved into at TechCon 2012 last month was discipline of students for off-campus, online misconduct. Stories of schools wrangling with the issue of whether they can discipline students for such misconduct are common, such the recent issue in Granite City, Illinois, in which a school reportedly suspended 21 students, including honor roll students and the homecoming king, for Tweeting, re-Tweeting, or "favoriting" Tweets including one making sexual comments about a female teacher. At TechCon, we discussed a couple of other interesting examples: students taking unflattering photographs of teachers and posting them online and students doing the same with videos of off-campus fights between other students. I made a shameless self-promotion at the presentation and suggested that participants read my recent blog post, Eighth Circuit: School Discipline of Missouri Students For Inflammatory Website Constitutionally Sound, to get some background on the issue. And we discussed that these questions are very fact-specific and must be considered individually as they arise. But we also discussed that school leaders generally need to ask themselves the following three questions with respect to discipline of off-campus, online misconduct.
In all cases where discipline is imposed, including for off-campus, online misconduct, it is essential that the district have a clear policy allowing for discipline of the type of activity in question. Even if a school district may discipline a student without infringing on his First Amendment rights, the district still may face challenges if its policy does not allow—or does not clearly allow—for that discipline.
A sufficient connection, or "nexus," exists between the off-campus, online speech and the school where it is reasonably foreseeable that the speech would reach and impact the school community. This is a very fact-specific analysis, but here are a few examples of questions that can help you determine whether a sufficient connection exists:
Once it is established that the speech can be disciplined under school board policy and that there is a sufficient nexus with the school, the question becomes: Can the speech be disciplined under the First Amendment?
If the speech is "unprotected" speech under the First Amendment it can be disciplined, period. But there are only a few categories of speech that are unprotected, and they are quite rare. One example is speech encouraging illegal drug use, which the Supreme Court in a 2007 case (Morse v. Frederick) held could be disciplined in the school context.
Even if the speech is protected by the First Amendment, it can also be disciplined in the school context if it causes a substantial disruption or invasion of the rights of others, or causes a reasonable risk of a substantial disruption or invasion of the rights of others.
What does that mean? Like the connection/nexus inquiry, the issue is very fact-specific and should be dealt with on a case-by-case basis. The list of questions to ask is long, and the best person to guide you through the process is your school attorney. But here are a few questions that could suggest a substantial disruption if the answer is "yes":
After discussing these standards for discipline, we also discussed what can (and should) be done if students cannot be disciplined for off-campus, online misconduct. School districts may still be required to respond to the misconduct, particularly if it is pervasive or relates to a protected characteristic such as race, sex, or disability. I suggested that participants review a recent Franczek Radelet Alert (and an OCR letter cited therein) that talks about responses that school districts can (and in some cases must) take in response to bullying and harassment, including online bullying and harassment. Notably, OCR made clear that these responses are available, and may even be required, even if the students who are responsible for the bullying and harassment cannot be disciplined.

Pink Is Jewish
How an unusually tribal concern was made everyone's
The word "Jewish" does not appear in Sunday's mammoth New York Times profile of Nancy Brinker, the founder and CEO of Susan G. Komen for the Cure, which is one of the country's top groups for any disease. October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, in observance of which NFL players and coaches wear pink. (Two years ago, the Times story on this concerned Tanya Snyder, the wife of Washington Redskins owner Daniel and a breast cancer survivor.) The article depicts Brinker's relentless, unapologetic advocacy. "It's a democratization of a disease," Brinker says.
"Democratization," because breast cancer itself is not democratic. Though of course not even close to an exclusively Jewish issue, it is a disproportionately Jewish one. One in 40 women of Ashkenazic descent has a genetic mutation that greatly increases her chance of getting breast cancer, as a result of which Ashkenazic women are subject to stricter screening standards and are disproportionately afflicted with the illness. Susan G. Komen, Brinker's sister, certainly did not die of breast cancer because she was Jewish, and nor did Brinker get it, too (her sister inspired the foundation but, according to Wikipedia, she herself is a survivor, a fact you don't find in her official biographies). However, it isn't pure chance that by far the nation's leading breast cancer foundation was inspired and founded by two sisters in Illinois born to the name Goodman. (Interestingly, one of the foundation's most controversial stances is its emphasis on screenings, which many say are unnecessary for much of the population but are more frequently recommended, again, for women of Ashkenazic descent.)
I remember, before my bar mitzvah, our rabbi telling my Hebrew School class that we should not only consider donating a portion of the gifts we would receive to charities, but that we should especially emphasize Jewish charities—because, he said, nobody other than Jews is going to give to them. Brinker, it seems, has happened upon the corollary to this: where a cause affects Jews more than other groups, you can "democratize" the cause and leverage a much larger constituency to help your comparatively small group. It's a useful lesson, I imagine, for other ethnic groups, and an interesting paradigm through which to view the ways Jews have made other issues of special importance to them—like the Jewish state—relevant to other communities.

Transport Secretary backs bid for North-East engineering college (From The Advertiser Series)

Department for Transport puts Aycliffe engineering college back on track
Updated 5:09pm Friday 17th January 2014 in Business Exclusive By Andy Richardson
TRANSPORT ministers have thrown their support behind a bid to set up a new North-East engineering centre of excellence for vital skills training.
The Northern Echo has seen a letter sent by Transport Minister Stephen Hammond urging Lord Nash, the Schools Minister to approve an ambitious bid for a university technical college (UTC) in Newton Aycliffe, County Durham.
The letter says that Patrick McLoughlin, the Transport Secretary, also supports the scheme, which aims to train up to 600 engineers a year for Hitachi's new train factory and other local employers.
The college, which would be the first of its type in the North-East, is being proposed by the University of Sunderland with endorsement from Hitachi Rail Europe and car parts manufacturer Gestamp Tallent.
In March last year, the Government approved 13 new UTCs, nine of them in the South, and the Coalition has backed 45 in total, though the Aycliffe centre would be the first in this region.
Hitachi wants skilled workers for its 730 jobs plant, while car chassis maker Gestamp plans to create 320 jobs.
On a visit yesterday to Darlington, Lord Nash declined to say if he agreed with his Government colleagues and said his decision would be announced in the coming weeks.
The team behind the bid had hoped to get the go ahead before Christmas, but it is understood that Lord Nash wanted more time to consider the proposal.
The delay prompted fears that the scheme would be rejected.
However, pressure from Mr McLoughlin, who recently visited the Aycliffe site where Hitachi will open its train plant in spring 2016, heaps pressure on Lord Nash to show support for North-East engineering and approve the college.
The letter says that the DFT believes the Aycliffe UTC represents "an excellent example of essential investment in the UK rail supply chain and the technical training of young people to support the industry.
It continues: "The success of the new college will ensure that the new factory is able to attract the right employees and that they have the right skills to deliver the impressive, ambitious and exciting things Hitachi want to realise at the site.
"I hope that the Department for Education will continue to work with Hitachi to develop the proposal for the new college and in turn secure the future of the rail supply chain in the UK, as well as support the significant investment in rail the IEP (Inter City Express Programme) represents," Mr Hammond concludes.

Cast: Strallen & Grace Sign for Drowsy Chaperone
Editorial Staff • West End • 16 Feb 2007
A parody of 1920s romantic musicals, The Drowsy Chaperone begins with a modern-day musical theatre addict (Martin) who, to chase his blues away, drops the needle on his favourite LP, the 1928 musical comedy The Drowsy Chaperone. From the crackle of his hi-fi, the musical bursts to life on stage, telling the tale of a pampered Broadway starlet who wants to give up show business to get married, her producer who sets out to sabotage the nuptials, her chaperone (Paige), the debonair groom, the dizzy chorine, the Latin lover and a pair of gangsters who double as pastry chefs.
Strallen, who plays Janet van de Graaff, has been Laurence Olivier and Whatsonstage.com Award nominated (Best Supporting Performance in a Musical and Best Supporting Actress in a Musical, respectively) for her role as Maisie in last summer's revival of another 1920s pastiche, Sandy Wilson's The Boy Friend (pictured), at the Open Air Theatre. Her other West End musical credits include Guys and Dolls, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Cats and Scrooge.
Grace, who will be the Underling, has been seen in the West End in The Guardsman, Life Support and Swell Party. His screen credits include Confetti, An Ideal Husband and Heat and Dust on film; and Robin or Sherwood, Casanova, Daniel Deronda, House of Cards and Brideshead Revisited, for which he was BAFTA nominated, on television.
Others so far confirmed for the West End cast of The Drowsy Chaperone are: John Partridge (Robert Martin), Selina Chilton (Kitty), Enyoman Gbesmete, Cameron Jack and Adam Stafford, as well as Nina French, Mark Goldthorp, Paul Iveson, Sherrie Pennington, Christopher Bennett, Vivienne Carlyle, Mark Dickinson and Lincoln Stone.
The Drowsy Chaperone has music and lyrics by Lisa Lambert and Greg Morrison and a book by Don McKellar and Bob Martin. Broadway's Casey Nicholaw, who made his West End debut with his choreography on Spamalot, both choreographs and directs. The production is designed by David Gallo, with costumes by Gregg Barnes, and lighting by Ken Billington and Brian Monahan, sound design by Acme Sound Partners, orchestrations by Larry Blank and dance and incidental music arrangements by Glen Kelly.
The show, which started life in 1998 as a sketch for a stag do in Toronto, opened at the Marquis Theatre in New York in May last year and won five 2006 Tony Awards, including Best Book and Best Score, seven Drama Desk Awards including Best Musical, four Outer Critics' Circle Awards including Outstanding Score and the Drama Critics' Circle Award for Best Musical. It's produced in the West End by Kevin McCollum, Roy Miller, Boyett Ostar, Stephanie McClelland and Barbara Freitag and Jill Furman.

Police: State security guards stole gas, items
WATERBURY Vermont State Police say two former security guards at state buildings misused state fuel cards and stole items.
Kevin Stevens, 31, of Marshfield, and Scott Whitaker, 28, of Waterbury Center, were cited on a charge of grand larceny. State police say the two were security guards for the Department of Buildings and General Services.
The two men were working at buildings in Montpelier and Waterbury during the times when electronic equipment was stolen, according to police. State police said the value of the gas and items believed stolen is more than $2,000.

Tiger's wife gives birth to son _ Charlie Axel
The uncertainty facing Tiger Woods at the start of the year is almost cleared up.
He is practicing at full strength with no restrictions, and playing golf at his home course in Florida. He became a father again when his wife gave birth to a boy on Sunday – Charlie Axel Woods.
The only thing left is when he returns to the PGA Tour.
The first possibility is the Accenture Match Play Championship, where he is the defending champion, which starts Feb. 25.
"I don't know what this affects," tournament director Wade Dunagan said Monday afternoon. "We're hopeful he'll make the Accenture Match Play Championship his first event back. The truth is, I don't know where we stand with that. It's one less obstacle, but he may want to stay home for another week now that the baby is born."
The CA Championship held its media day Monday across the country at Doral, where Woods is a three-time winner. That World Golf Championship starts two weeks after the Accenture, on March 12. Tournament director Eddie Carbone had answers to every question, except whether his All-Star field would include the biggest star in golf.
The tournament showed some of its public service announcements that will run in the Miami area, featuring the likes of Phil Mickelson, Sergio Garcia and Camilo Villegas. Woods was not in any of them.
For the moment, Woods has other priorities.
"Elin and I are thrilled to announce the birth of our son, Charlie Axel Woods," Woods wrote in a short statement on his Web site. "Both Charlie and Elin are doing great and we want to thank everyone for their sincere best wishes and kind thoughts. Sam is very excited to be a big sister and we feel truly blessed to have such a wonderful family."
Sam Alexis was born on the Monday after the 2007 U.S. Open, and Woods did not play for three weeks, even skipping a title defense the week before he returned at the Buick Open.
But he is not new to fatherhood any more. And even with a son, if Woods follows his own father's routine, it still will be another six months before he puts Charlie in a high chair to watch him swing a golf club.
"We look forward to introducing Charlie to you at the appropriate time," Woods wrote.
Woods likely won't be available to comment until he shows up at a tournament, so the significance of his son's name was not clear. His daughter's name – Sam – was the pet name that Earl Woods called a young Tiger.
Woods has great respect for Charlie Sifford, the first black to become a PGA Tour member; Sifford playfully refers to Woods as "my grandson." Axel is a Swedish name that means "father of peace," according to the Web site birthcare.com (his wife is Swedish).
But the big question remains the left knee.
"I'm full-bore with my practice sessions and have no restrictions," Woods said in a newsletter last week. "It's just a matter of getting my golf endurance up. I don't have my golf stamina back yet."

Wherever I travel, the second I step off a plane I am thinking about sparkling rosé. So it was with great pleasure that the first wine I encountered in Santiago (while on a trip sponsored by Wines of Chile) just happened to be that exact wine. Serendipity! Fate! Stars aligning! But this was no typical sparkling rosé. Miguel Torres, of the Torres winery in Spain, has also been involved in the Chilean wine industry since 1979. At the namesake winery in Chile, they have crafted a bottle of pink bubbles from a grape whose existence was unbeknownst to me: País. It is a grape with a long history in Chile, unfortunately toiling in obscurity to produce bulk wine. But fear not! The aforementioned sparkling rosé made from País, which you'll find under the name of Santa Digna Estelado Rosé, is no tutti-frutti concoction. It is seriously dry and savory, which you will realize as you savor every sip.
And while certainly pleasurable on its own, know that sparkling rosé is a fantastic partner with cured meats and sausages. Those bubbles cut through the fat, and some sparkling rosés have a nice herbal element to them that reminds me of fennel and other sausage-friendly, aromatic spices. If you want to have the two together, you can get a glass of Santa Digna Estelado Rosé at the Miguel Torres restaurant in Santiago. At this tapas-style spot, enjoy this Chilean sparkling rosé with the spicy chorizo that will most likely be set down beside your glass. And feat not the spice of the chorizo; this wine can handle the heat.
For your further País edification, below is a photo of some very old vines at J. Bouchon. Funny how something so gnarly-looking can become something so elegant. The Santa Digna Estelado rosé is definitely a liquid silk purse.
For another take on this Chilean sparkling rosé from a fellow blogger at the table, please peruse Gabe's View. And if you want to see how grapevine roots grow below the ground, check out another dispatch from Chile on jamesonfink.com.

GRANDISLE, La. - Officials in lower Jefferson Parish prepared for the worst.
But on Sunday night, the evacuation order for Grand Isle ended and thousands were relieved by the storm's eastward shift.
Effects were seen in the winds that kicked up and the surf that rolled in during the weekend.
The water rose to about a foot and half below the road on Highway 1.
There was some minor street and yard flooding in the low-lying outskirts. The town used tractors to transport extra drainage pumps to protect the area.
Grand Isle Mayor David Camardelle worked all day and waited for word of exactly where Tropical Storm Debby was going to land.
Around noon, Camardelle called for a voluntary evacuation with a specific emphasis on RVs.
Camardelle said that the emergency plan officials enacted went smoothly.
The mayor said he has to meet with the Corp of Engineers to make sure all levees are built and completed, so that the town is best prepared the next time a threat arises.

Re: (Need for Speed) Shift 2: Unleashed release date
i am really not enjoying the first ~5-7 races as much as i did in shift 1. what really throws me off is the random times at which the car (i picked Audi RS4) just all of a sudden starts drifting to the left or right whenever i go on the back straights, and this really annoys me because I am so focused on the upcoming corner, i usually don't see it happen.
The voice/driver guy cannot possibly be more annoying. Wish there was a way to make him go away....

When Jair Jurrjens takes the mound Friday night at Cincinnati's Great American Ballpark, he will be looking to bounce back from his worst outing of the season while also attempting to give the Braves back-to-back road victories.
Jurrjens lasted 5 innings against the Nationals last Sunday, giving up 6 runs on 8 hits in 5 innings. While he did not fare in the decision, the Braves (58-41) offense got him off the hook, rallying for a 9-8 victory. He was seen the Reds (48-50) this season, going 8 innings and giving up a run on 6 hits in a Braves 2-1 win.
Facing the Braves in the opener is Bronson Arroyo. The veteran right hander lasted 6 2/3 innings against the Reds in his last outing, giving up 4 runs on 8 hits in a 4-1 defeat. The Braves got the best of Arroyo when they last say him, tagging him for 5 runs on 9 hits in 3 innings in a 7-6 Braves win. Arroyo has been hit hard by the long ball, giving up 26 round-trippers this year.
Offensively, Brian McCann is 8-for-16 against Arroyo with three home runs of his own.
Saturday, Derek Lowe takes the mound opposite Homer Bailey.
Lowe got the win in Monday's start in Colorado, going 6 1/3 innings while giving up 4 runs on 8 hits in a 7-4 Braves win. He saw the Reds earlier this year, the same outing as Arroyo, and got tagged himself, giving up 5 runs on 7 hits in 3 1/3 innings, but as mentioned before, the Braves won, 7-6.
The Braves have not seen the fourth-year pitcher Bailey this season. In his last outing against the Cardinals, he gave up a run on 3 hits over 7 1/3 innings, earning the win as the Reds won, 3-1. Since coming off the disabled list, Bailey has given up a home run in each of his four starts.
Sunday's game, originally scheduled as an afternoon game will now be the ESPN Sunday Night Game of the Week, featuring rookie Brandon Beachy against Dontrelle Willis.
Beachy, who grew up about three hours away from Cincinnati in Kokomo, Ind., has not seen the Reds this season. He did get hit hard in his last outing, giving up 6 runs on 9 hits over 4 2/3 innings. Beachy has not posted a victory since June, taking two no decisions and a loss in his three July starts.
The one-time Marlin, Willis is facing the Braves for the first time since 2007, his last season in Florida. The lefty has only appeared in two games this season, starting both, but has not earned a win in either, taking a no decision against Milwaukee July 10 and earning a loss against the Pirates Monday. In those outings, the pitcher once know as the D-Train has gone 10 2/3 innings, giving up 4 runs on 9 hits while fanning 9.
Offensively, the Reds have scored just 7 runs in their last 5 games while getting blanked twice against the surprising Pirates. They have no won consecutive games since sweeping the Dodgers June 13-15.
Dan Uggla is questionable for the opener with a calf strain after being pulled from Wednesday's game in Colorado and sitting out the finale. He has hit in 12 consecutive games, tying a career high, while Jordan Schafer did not play in the finale in Colorado after jamming his finger in Wednesday's contest sliding into second base.

Minnesota Governor signs disaster relief bill
September 11, 2013
By Greg Janetka
SAINT PAUL, Minnesota: Meeting in a one-day special session, Minnesota legislators quickly approved disaster-relief funds for 20 counties. Within hours Governor Mark Dayton (D) signed the bill, saying "when a disaster strikes we're all Minnesotans - we're not Republicans or Democrats - and the legislature to its credit showed that."[1]
The bill, which passed 59-0 in the Senate and 127-1 in the House, provides over $4.7 million in state assistance to communities that have been hit by strong storms and flooding. Following storms in June, President Obama declared a major disaster for 18 counties, making them eligible for federal public assistance. This federal money will cover 75 percent of the damage to public infrastructure, estimated at a total of $17.8 million, with the newly passed state bill covering the rest.[2]

London, United Kingdom
My Rating
As Canadians who have visited London a number of times over the years, we were looking for a tour that was a little different from others we had also enjoyed in the past. The afternoon was intended as a treat for an English cousin, an octogenarian who lives just north of London, but who has not been in London often in recent years. The three of us loved our tour of London from the top ( at our cousin's insistence) of the double decker bus in November. Our guide was knowledgeable, and we spent a very pleasant four hours in his company. The cruise down the Thames was short but a lovely addition to the tour. Enjoying a champagne tea at Harrods was a delightful way to round out the afternoon. We will recommend this tour to others without hesitation. One small suggestion is that the organizers book reserved tables for the tea, as it would be pleasant to be seated together as a group on arrival.

LONDON,ON - SEPTEMBER 12: Ben Scrivens of the Toronto Maple Leafs waits for a shot in a game against the Pittsburgh Penguins during the NHL Rookie Tournament on September 12,2010 at the John Labatt Centre in London, Ontario. The Penguins defeated the Leafs 2-1. (Photo by Claus Andersen/Getty Images)
Being an NHL goalie isn't without it's problems. Toronto Maple Leafs goalie Ben Scrivens posted a picture of a nasty bruise on his arm on Twitter on Monday and it is impressive. Scrivens was pulled after two periods against the Winnipeg Jets on Saturday when he gave up four goals and the Maple Leafs ended up losing to Winnipeg in a shootout 5-4. It's not clear whether this bruise played a part in Scrivens poor play or if it was the reason he was pulled. His teammates don't seem to feel too badly for him though. "@scrivens_30: twitter.com/scrivens_30/st…" you bruise like a peach!! — James van Riemsdyk (@JVReemer21) March 18, 2013
