McClatchy reporters around the country interviewed Democratic Party superdelegates about how they see the race between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama now. This is what they said:
ED ESPINOSA, Democratic National Committee member, Long Beach, Calif., political and public relations consultant; worked on Bill Richardsons campaign, undeclared. I havent really had a chance to clear my mind and think about this since watching the election returns. Mathematically, it doesnt look good for Hillary Clinton. But its not over yet and there are still states to vote. Espinosa said he believes many undeclared super delegates actually have made up their minds but want to see the process play out. Hes getting lots of calls. Im a pretty popular guy these days, he said.
STEVEN YBARRA, professor at Sacramento City College, undeclared, said hes angry neither Clinton nor Obama has spent much on Spanish-language advertising. Here is the real deal: Unless somebody comes up with a plan to deal with Mexican-American voters, theyre going to lose in November, Ybarra said. Would you be happy if they ignored your constituency? Im not budging. Ive got no reason to move. Clinton should stay in the race because this is a campaign that deserves to go to the end.
CRYSTAL STRAIT, 28, one of three appointees to the Democratic National Committee by the Young Democrats of America, undeclared, said she is holding out to pressure both Obama and Clinton to prove they can get young voters to the polls in November. She thinks the continuation of the race is good for the party. I was just on a phone with a superdelegate from Puerto Rico. They are so excited and that just speaks to the energy of this campaign. At this point, I think this has been great for the party.
BOB MULHOLLAND, Democratic National Committee member and political consultant, undeclared. As a DNC member we voted on a primary schedule though June 3 and Im sticking to that plan. I think its appalling that the next six elections shouldnt matter. And Im loving the voter registration and turnout records on the Democratic side. Its good for the fall campaign. Clintons continuing is good for Obama. A person runs faster when somebody is on their heels. You dont break records by having no opponent. These candidates are going way beyond what either of them felt they were capable of. Thats what we will need for the general election. John Kerry went windsurfing and took vacations as the Iraq war continued. I want to see some sweat on my candidates.
STEVEN ALARI, Los Angeles, president of a Service Employees International Union district council, endorsed Obama. Senator Obama will get the nomination and Im looking forward to that day. Should Clinton quit? Its up to Senator Clinton. But the sooner we consolidate our Democratic Party to beat John McCain the better.
CHRISTOPHER STAMPOLIS, Santa Clara, Calif. community college trustee, endorsed Clinton in January. Said he wants to study the voting patterns. As a super, I have the responsibility and the luxury to assess these results academically. If either candidate shows significant weaknesses among any segments of voters, were at a disadvantage.After the final primaries are done, I really believe all the superdelegates have to take a deep breath and everybody should push the reset button. I think we need to take a look at who really is the most viable.
HELEN KNETZER, Wichita superdelegate, president of the National Federation of Democratic Women, undeclared. I will not make a commitment until the last primary is over. Im trying to keep an open mind and really trying to be alert because a lot of things are going to happen in the next month. She said repesentatives of the two camps have contacted her as recently as three days ago.
JERRY MEEK, North Carolina Democratic Party chairman, endorsed Obama on Wednesday.
Over the past year, I've watched as Barack Obama has drawn countless new people to the political process," he said in a statement. "Although my position as State Chair has led me to remain neutral through the primary, I've quietly celebrated as Barack Obama offered new hope to millions of Americans who have lost faith in the American dream after years of disastrous Republican policies."
JEANETTE COUNCIL, Cumberland County commissioner, endorsed Obama Wednesday.
I would have no problem voting for either of the two," she told the Fayetteville Observer. "But of the two, I think Barack Obama is the better candidate."
REP. JOHN SPRATT, chairman of the House Budget Committee, undeclared, but moving towards Obama. Chuck Fant, a Spratt spokesman, noted that Obama carried all 14 counties in the congressmans district Jan. 26. While he wants to keep his options open, Fant said, he also thinks Obamas popularity in the 5th District cannot be ignored.
REP. JIM CLYBURN, House Majority Whip, highest-ranking black lawmaker in Congress, undeclared, but increasingly critical of the Clintons for their approach toward African-American voters.
REP. GILDA COBB HUNTER, member of the Democratic National Committee, undeclared. Cobb said she found Tuesdays surprisingly close primary in Indiana interesting but stopped short of calling for Clinton to bow out of the race. That has to be a personal decision made by that candidate. Im in no position to suggest that anyone do that. She's concerned about the tone, however. "Please stop the personal attacks. Lets keep it positive. Lets not do the Republicans work for them. If the tone does not improve, Cobb-Hunter said she may soon endorse a candidate in coming days instead of waiting until after her House primary in June.
WILBER LEE JEFFCOAT, first vice president of the S.C. Democratic party, retired trucker, undeclared. He's waiting on party leaders. Im waiting to see what theyre going to do, if theyre going to call us together and give us some direction. I dont know if theyre going to do something now or let this thing play out until the end.
RUTH RUDY, Centre County, endorsed Clinton.
Of Tuesdays results: Well, it certainly was a bump in the road, but it hasnt changed my mind as far as a superdelegate. II committed (to Hillary) very early on as soon as she announced. Im waiting to see the process play out. There are only three more weeks. I think all the voters should have their say. There are six contests yet. Im not telling the other voters what to do.
LINDA CHAVEZ-THOMPSON, of San Antonio, member of the Democratic National Committee, undeclared. Said she's unlikely to reveal her choice until the national convention in August and because the AFL-CIO, of which she's an officer, hasn't endorsed. I dont think were any closer to getting it sealed unless the superdelegates weigh in on it. Please, lets get it over with. Lets get on with it. The thing that troubles me is that ... a lot of people are not paying attention to the other nominee — John McCain. Hes not getting the questions. His record isnt out there.
JOHN PATRICK, an official of the United Steelworkers union and a resident of Friendswood, Texas, declared for Obama last week. "Its apparent to me that theres no clear path for Sen. Clinton to get the nomination. Im absolutely convinced after (Tuesday) night that we have a nominee now.
JIM WRIGHT, former speaker of the U.S. House, declared for Clinton. Said each candidate has a right to continue the battle, but that he doesn't see foresee a change in the current situation. "I dont think that does anything except prolong the process.
MOSES MERCADO, of Hidalgo County, Texas, declared for Obama. After (Tuesday) night, were having a wonderful day in Obama world. This thing is done. The only one who doesnt think so is Sen. Clinton. Mathematically, its not there for her. But I guess she can stay in as long as she wants.
REP. GENE GREEN, of Houston, declared for Clinton. Sen. Clinton carried our district and it is difficult to vote against your constituents. I want a Democratic nominee who can win nationally and well wait and see what happens in the next few primaries.
ROY LAVERNE BROOKS, vice-chair of the Texas Democratic Party, of Fort Worth, declared for Obama. It looks like it will have to go to the convention and well have to deal with that. This race has not been a normal race and anything can happen. I am just so excited and delighted that the average voter is taking an active role. It makes my heart feel so proud to see Americans come out and do what they should have been doing a long, long time ago. It took two candidates to do that and I give credit to both of them.
DAVID T. MCDONALD, Seattle, member of the Democratic National Committees rules and bylaws committee, said he wont declare until after the committee meets May 31 to decide what to do with the Florida and Michigan delegations. Clinton, however, faces a tough road, and Obama must help find a way to resolve the Florida/Michigan problem.
She has a really uphill battle and she really needs Michigan and Florida to somehow be added to the mix. At the end of the day I think Hillarys supporters have to decide for her and with her whether she should go forward with the campaign or come up with an exit strategy. Its not for somebody else to tell them the race is over. Because the race is not over.
If you assume for the moment that Obama is the nominee, and the press today was making that assumption, it seems to me it is his problem to come forward with a solution that works. If he is planning on being the leader of the party of the free world, he needs to be able to come up with a solution to problems like this.

Personally, I'm tired of Fast Freddie and his big mouth. Are we supposed to like him because he has an illness? That's pretty patronizing.

You're not supposed to like him technicaly. But he is quite possibly the best trainer on the planet and one of the most well-known people in boxing. That's why your supposed to respect him.

The Racket Squad: Freddie As Freddie
Freddie is about devout caring in a miserable, often heartless business.
As a fighter, he gave all that his skills allowed. As a trainer, he gives much more.
His illness provides an insight into the end zone that some pugilists land in.
His gifts offer another saga.
Roach has lived the tough life of a boxer and teacher in all of it's glory as well as indignation. He is the best in the world at what he now does and is reaping rewards.
The HBO series is a well deserved tribute to complicated and fortunate gentleman.

British human rights lawyer Gordon Bennett has issued a damning legal analysis of the negative impacts of wildlife law enforcement on tribal peoples.
Tribal people have been forcibly and illegally evicted from India's Kanha Tiger Reserve in the name of conservation. Across India, many face a similar threat.
A group of Baka tribespeople in southeast Cameroon have begged the WWF to stop funding the anti-poaching squads responsible for persecution of the Baka.
Tribespeople living inside a tiger reserve in India are being "threatened" and "cheated" into leaving their ancestral land in the name of tiger 'conservation'.
A diamond mine has opened in the Central Kalahari Game Reserve, the lands of Africa's last hunting Bushmen, despite the Botswana government's denials of such a plan.
Africa's last huntiing Bushmen have given formal notice of their intention to sue the Botswana government over its "unlawful and unconstitutional" attempts to starve them off their ancestral land.
Loud protests at an anti-poaching conference in London today highlighted the devastating impact of a hunting ban on Africa's last hunting Bushmen in Botswana.
Marking the International Day for Biological Diversity(22 May), UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon highlighted the fragile state of the world's oceans.
Indigenous peoples are key to preserving the world's forests and conservation reserves, according to a new study from the World Bank.
The Indian government has scrapped its controversial policy of expelling tribal people from wildlife-rich areas to turn them into national parks.

Third Thursday: On-a-Stick prepares to render a Picasso in butter
Categories: Art
|Siona Karen
|Gift of funds from the John Cowles Foundation, ©Estate of Pablo Picasso / Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York
|Baboon and Young by Pablo Picasso, 1951
Hill knew she couldn't do a fair-themed Third Thursday without incorporating butter sculptures in some way. Luckily, one of the MIA's corporate sponsors is Land O'Lakes. The company donated 50 pound of butter for the project, and museum staffer Bill Skodje, who is also a sculptor in his own right, agreed to take on the task.
Skodje, exhibition designer and senior preparer for the museum, has previously done live-sculpture making at Third Thursday events, though this is the first time he's delved into the dairy medium. He's always thought sculpting in butter would be fun, though. "It's got such a unique translucent surface when you see a person's face in it," he says.
After talking it over with Hill, Skodje decided Picasso's Baboon and Young sculpture would be a good fit for a replication. "It just seemed like the iconic image of the museum," he says. "It's on all the tours." Another plus is that if the butter starts to melt, the abstract nature of the piece will be more forgiving.
Skodje thought about practicing before Thursday, but he changed his mind when he opened the refrigerator and saw two quarter sticks of butter. "Every time I make a sandwich, I cut into butter. I probably have more experience working with butter than clay. I'm hoping it's not going to surprise me -- I'm going in cold," he says.
In some ways, butter sculpting is part of the trajectory Skodje's career has been following, as he creates work out of nontraditional materials. For example, at his MFA show at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, he created a replica of a Roman sculpture of Apollo out of blue Styrofoam. He's built a guitar out of cardboard, and he made a relief sculpture for a show in Chicago where he cast it in plaster and had it sit on the floor leaning against the wall. "People don't value plaster very much," he says, though the amount of work to create a bronze cast and a plaster cast is exactly the same.
|Revelers at a previous Third Thursday
Besides butter sculpting, which takes place in the Wells Fargo Room, the evening will include a "masterpiece-on-a-stick" activity where people can create works of art on a popsicle stick outside. There will also be stops from Andrew Zimmern's AZ Canteen and Lulu's Street Food, plus music by Sean Anonymous with Dream Crusher. Folks will be able to enjoy a State Fair-style photobooth, complete with jams and preserves in the background, and the Warby Parker Class Trip school bus, which will be showing off their showroom of eyeglasses.

If you have attributes increase automatically with practice, rather than having to buy points in them, then I feel like [attack (ranged)] and [aim] are a bit redundant, since shooting things would increase both.
What, exactly, does [overall level] increase. You've said it increases HP slightly, but what else?
Now that I've been mulling it over, here's what I've come up with (roughly) for how this system could work:
1) Main levels are the times when the things you've done are totaled and a certain number of EXP Attribute points (the total is derived from the main level you just reached) and are scattered about your attributes, depending on what work you did to reach that overall level. So if you spent all your time mining, all the points go to mining. If you do 60% mining, 30% fighting, and 10% cooking, then the points are distributed like that.
2) Something else I've been thinking about is maybe categorizing the attributes. Not into classes exactly, but to let the player choose what he might want to work on. So if you get 10 points towards utility (which might hold things like cooking, blacksmith, logging, farming, etc.) you can choose what you might want to level up. This idea, I feel, needs to be thought out quite a bit more, as you don't want someone cooking all the time to raise their blacksmith-ing all the way up.
EDIT: maybe this #2 part would be good for special attacks or such? So you can categorize special attacks for different melee or ranged weapons, and then when you get EXP Attribute points to spend on special attacks, you can choose which special attacks you want to upgrade that particular time.
'studentTeacher', on 10 Sept 2013 - 4:48 PM, said:
Maybe even tackling a really difficult (read: much higher than challenging) dungeon might open up research on new, harder and durable metals, or certain chemical recipes for medicine.
Would it be possible to hire soldiers a ways into the game, and off-load the combat onto them? Because, if it is, I just know someone (probably me) is going to try to just become a scientist/alchemist/philosopher and live off the benefits. But if I have to personally fight my way to the bottom of a nigh-impossible dungeon in order to get any of the higher level tech, and I haven't been putting any points into fighting skills, it'll feel less like an adventure and more like punishment.
Actually, come to think of it, if I go down the path of building an empire, how much control do I get over my subjects?
That part was more for research skipping -- if you are in the stone age, and you take and complete a dungeon that's at a diamond age, then you can gain early access to diamond, as long as you can get the materials. It's like a sort of shortcut, but not an easy one. So to address making it "near-impossible" to get to the next research/age, what I meant to say is that is more for shortcuts.
As for hiring NPC's, I feel that it might be more like until you are at some type of kingdom or empire level, you need to go into battle with your troops, if you have troops at all. And depending on where you are in the game (different areas = different levels) and where your levels are, the NPC's will play off that as well, to make sure you don't do none of the work, while not having to grind, either. Again, I think that's a balance thing. Another thing that could happen is NPC's can have a chance to keep some of the profit. Depending on their trust of you, and you not being there during the battle, they might keep some of the good stuff and give you most of the average stuff. Heck, they could even revolt, if you are truly that despicable!! But I'm getting ahead of myself ;)
As for full control in the end-game, I need to figure out the beginnings first. That's something i'll tackle after this system is set up. For now, I'm going to focus on the player, and then hire-able NPC's later.
Does this mean that getting a lucky streak makes it more likely that the player will be lucky in the future?
To use minecraft for lack of a better example coming to mind, think of level 1 in [luck] as a regular pickaxe, and level 100 as a full-fledged fortune 3 effect on the pick for the ores that need it.

"Have had several versions of the Cherokee over the years. Always wanted a "real" Jeep, but with a family of 4, needed the luggage/grocery room from a bigger vehicle. I was way excited when they came out with the 4-door Rubicons and ordered one immediately. Moab, UT and Ouray, CO can't hold it back, it is so awsome on the trails. Went places I never thought it would go. Comfortable, easy to drive. No complaints on the city driving either. Is a bit skittish on ice. My one and only complaint about it is after going from my Grand Cherokee with the V-8 to this thing - I call it my gutless wonder. If I want to pass anybody on the hightway I'd better be going down hill with a tail wind and have 2 miles to get around them in. Absolutely no power once you leave 3rd gear. It would seem to me that something with this lack of "get up and go" should also get better milage than 16 mpg. If they ever offer a bigger engine for this thing it would be THE perfect vehicle and I will be first in line for a new one."

"I've owned my 2007 Jeep Wrangler since August 2008. This is my first jeep and I absolutely love it. I bought my jeep predominantly for the northern Indiana winters and I couldn't have picked a better vehicle for the snow and ice that we get here. I've had it off road once and it outperformed even some modified jeeps in the mud. Having said that, the gas mileage is what you'd expect for a jeep. I average about 15 around town and 19-20 on the highway. The noise factor isn't a problem since I keep my hard top on year round. The sound system is excellent and I love having the onboard navigation system. I wish Jeep would put some more power in its engines. With the A/C running, it does seem a bit sluggish. Overall, I'm very pleased with my jeep and would own another in a heart beat."

"If you're looking for a trail limo, you can have one in the Unlimited 4-door that will go places a Hummer could only dream of, while enjoying top-down, doors off fun in the sun! My fiancee and I got (her) a 2009 Wrangler X, B-package (base). The stock 29" tires are GARBAGE, but we had no intention of keeping them. Swapped in 33" Firestone Destination A/T's, and it made all the difference. Lifted 2.5" via RC coils, and now with an E-locker out back, this truck goes anywhere. For anyone who hasn't driven one, the coil-sprung (TJ, JK) Wranglers are NOTHING like the old leaf-sprung (CJ/YJ) Wranglers! They ride much better, handle better, and take a lot more stupidity to roll. The new JK has good ride/handling characteristics, and the electronic nannies are nice for less able drivers, while being defeatable for off-road. I HIGHLY recommend getting the anti-spin rear differential, or upping to the Rubicon if you plan on going off-road. With a decent set of tires and even just a rear locker, this Jeep goes anywhere with ease. I'd also recommend the 3.73 gears (available separately or in the Trailer Tow Group) for 32" tires that come with all but the base package- otherwise, it's fairly sluggish. In terms of comfort, it's a darn nice Wrangler. But it's still a Wrangler, not an Escalade. If you want leather, heated seats (a dealer-installed option, however), and to be able to hear your cell phone calls at over 20 MPH, get something else. The Wrangler is, as always, about top-down fun, be it on-road or off. The headrests are rock solid, and the seating position isn't great, but it's still a lot better than my old YJ's! I love it so much I'm in the process of trading in my Subaru for another one! Enjoy!"

"This is the most exciting four wheeler you'll ever find in this world ! Have been everywhere with it and never been stucked ! Mud over my 18 inches wheels without any problem... and completely stock! I can't even imagine how capable this thing must be with a minimum of aftermarket work. It is a SUV, a convertible, a winter truck, a family car (kids love to ride it topless) and most important an incredible off-road machine! If you want comfort, performance, fuel economy and fancy interior, get yourself something else... and I will be glad to tow you out when you'll be stuck in the snow this next winter! I will be the one with the smile and a Wrangler!!!"

Something to Remember
(Ivanhoe Newswire) — According to a Johns Hopkins neuroscientist the trouble with our aging brains is that they're unable to process new information, such was where the keys are or new names, as "new" because the brain pathways leading to the hippocampus — the area of the brain that stores memories — become degraded over time. As a result, our brains cannot accurately "file" new information, and confusion results.
"Our research uses brain imaging techniques that investigate both the brain's functional and structural integrity to demonstrate that age is associated with a reduction in the hippocampus's ability to do its job, and this is related to the reduced input it is getting from the rest of the brain," Michael Yassa, assistant professor of psychological and brain sciences in Johns Hopkins' Krieger School of Arts and Sciences, was quoted as saying. "As we get older, we are much more susceptible to 'interference' from older memories than we are when we are younger."
"Maybe this is also why we tend to reminisce so much more as we get older: because it is easier to recall old memories than make new ones," Yassa speculated.
Yassa and his team used MRI scans to observe the brains of 40 healthy young college students and older adults, ages 60 to 80, while these participants viewed pictures of everyday objects such as pineapples, test tubes and tractors and classified each — by pressing a button– as either "indoor" or "outdoor."
The team used functional MRI to watch the hippocampus when participants saw items that were exactly the same or slightly different to ascertain how this region of the brain classified that item: as familiar or not.
"Pictures had to be very distinct from each other for an older person's hippocampus to correctly classify them as new. The more similar the pictures were, the more the older person's hippocampus struggled to do this. A young person's hippocampus, on the other hand, treated all of these similar pictures as new," Yassa explained.
Later, the participants viewed a series of completely new pictures (all different) and again were asked to classify them as either "indoor" or "outdoor." A few minutes later, the researchers presented the participants with the new set of pictures and asked whether each item was "old," "new" or "similar."
Yassa said. "We found that older adults tended to have fewer 'similar' responses and more 'old' responses instead, indicating that they could not distinguish between similar items."
Yassa said that this inability among older adults to recognize information as "similar" to something they had seen recently is linked to what is known as the "perforant pathway," which directs input from the rest of the brain into the hippocampus. The more degraded the pathway, the less likely the hippocampus is to store similar memories as distinct from old memories.
"We are now closer to understanding some of the mechanisms that underlie memory loss with increasing age," Yassa said. "These results have possible practical ramifications in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease, because the hippocampus is one of the places that deteriorate very early in the course of that disease."

Jim Barry The Lodge Hill Shiraz 2005
Syrah/Shiraz from Clare Valley, Australia
Winemaker's Notes
In 1977, when Jim Barry first purchased the Lodge Hill property, his intention was to devote the entire area to Riesling. However, there was a small area which had a gentle slope facing north, capturing the warmer conditions of the elevated site and he decided that it was an ideal place to grow a premium Shiraz.
This wine is inky, deep red in color, with aromas of black cherry, dark plums, vanilla and dark chocolate. The palate shows medium to full bodied ripe black cherry and plum fruit, subtle integrated vanillin oak with mocha richness. The fine grained talc-like soft tannins support a lingering finish.
Can be enjoyed now or will improve with careful cellaring over the next 5-7 years. Suited to robust red meat dishes such as beef or lamb.
Critical Acclaim
Australian Wine Companion - "Strong colour; blackberry, spice plus touches of prune and mint; a typical Jim Barry shiraz: big, dense, chewy and ripe. "
Wine Spectator - "Smooth and ripe, with hints of eucalyptus and caramel sneaking into the blackberry and tar flavor profile. Finishes with an open texture and refined tannins. Best from 2008 through 2015. 3,000 cases imported. "
The Wine Advocate - "The 2005 Shiraz "The Lodge Hill" contains 5% Malbec. It was aged for 13 months in 80% American and 20% French oak. It delivers a pleasant perfume of cedar, black pepper, pencil lead, game, and blueberry. Full-bodied and structured, it has tons of ripe fruit, excellent balance, and a lengthy finish. It will evolve for 2-3 years and drink well through 2015. It is an excellent value."
International Wine Cellar - "Inky violet. Ripe blackberry and plum on the nose, with sweet mocha and vanilla building with air. Lush, creamy and very smooth, with fleshy cassis and kirsch flavors firmed by dusty tannins. Finishes on a sweet note, with very good persistence."

Jim Barry Winery
From the heart of South Australia, Jim Barry was a legendary and beloved Clare Valley identity. Since 1959, Jim Barry Wines reflect the Barry family's commitment to making table wines with an emphasis on quality and enjoyment. Jim Barry's philosophy of winemaking was very simple: own the vineyards to develop the best fruit flavors possible and retain these flavors during winemaking. The rich, full-bodied Jim Barry wines distinctly embody this simple winemaking philosophy. View all Jim Barry Wines
About Clare ValleyView a map of Clare Valley wineries
Known for its Rieslings, the wines of Clare Valley are distinctive. The Riesling here is dry, dry, dry. Delicate yet firm, these wines won't remind you of Germany or Alsace - they have a character all their own. The lime and mineral flavors, paired with zesty acidity, make the wine perfect for summer sipping or pairing with seafood.
Notable FactsSince this is still Australia, let's not leave out Shiraz... Clare Valley does produce red wines and they are well made and tasty. Despite the fairly warm temperatures, the acidity in Clare Valley red wines are typically higher than wines produced further south. Good structure is a key characteristic, making Clare Valley wines ideal for pairing with food.
About AustraliaLike the United States, which is about the same size, Australia's winemaking regions are huddled into one or two pockets of the country. The state of South Australia, which produces about 60% of the country's wine, also has the most wineries and sub-regions, including McLaren Vale, Clare Valley, Coonawarra and Barossa Valley. New South Wales is home to the Hunter Valley, while the smaller, southern state of Victoria is best known for theYarra Valley. Head way west to the very large state of Western Australia and you'll find the tiny region of Margaret River at the southern tip.

1 rating, 1 with review410/26/2008Mr. Barry made a very good decision when he chose to plant for Shiraz as well. This wine has wonderful aromas and the palate brings both fruity and spicy tastes to it that begin subtly, but blossom into a wonderfully full, rich finish. While the suggestion is to pair with beef or lamb, I have paired with both steak pasta with great success. A wonderful wine, especially at the price!
Alcohol By Volume GuideMost wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.
Wine Style Guide
Light & Crisp
- Light to medium bodied wines that are high in acid and light to medium fruit. Typically no oak.
Fruity & Smooth
- Light to medium bodied wines with lots of juicy fruit, typically medium acid and medium oak.
Rich & Creamy
- Full bodied wines that have typically undergone malo-lactic fermentation and/or spent time in oak.

Some people think that the top in the graphics part is the uber HDR , the mega lighting system and the mega efects in the textures . But NO , we have before a basic feature . No anisotropic filtering = no image of the textures of the world, no realistic image .
Well we have the gameplay part ... but Crysis is sold like the totem of the graphics , the mega ultra uber graphics , and seriously without AF for my is a B serie game in the graphics part . No look better than other games . For example, for my , is worse than COD4 without AF , have better textures , paralax etc, but the textures and effects disappear under the AF lack cloak
Im with ya. COD4 looks soooo much better. I'm uber disappointed with the crap-ass performance that was seen in the demo... it's not any better with retail. I lost interest after the betas. I'm sure the fanboys like Nekrosoft and Jakup will be in soon to post about what a phenomenal game it is, blah blah. The fact of the matter is that this is supposed to be the game of games and its not. Its all hype.

I would now like to edit the contents stored on the 320Gb hd but when trying to connect the usb caddy with 320GB hard drive to my Windows7 pc the hard drive is seen in the connected 'Devices and Printers' window but the actual hard drive is not visible, selecting properties on the disk drive displays 'ST332031 1CS USB Device'. I used to edit recorded video off the Humax prior to the hard drive upgrade by transfering it to a FAT32 formatted USB stick and editing on the PC using 'VideoReDo' very easily. I presume the reason the Humax hard drive is not recognised by my pc is because it is formatted to .ext3. Is there any way you can get a Windows7 pc to recognise an .ext3 formatted hard drive? Any help would be much appreciated.

"I was expecting 800 people and now there are 1,200," Levin said. "It [was] a hugely successful Bitcoin conference."
Conference goers attended workshops held by Bitcoin-accepting and facilitating merchant vendors, like bitpay and 3DCart.
Hundreds of Bitcoin users flocked to Miami Beach this weekend for the North American Bitcoin Conference.
Bitcoin is a form of digital currency that Florida Atlantic University finance professor Charles Evans says will change the way international business is conducted.

The true precursor to Dior Homme is likely Hanae Mori's HM, a monstrous, hissy cassis and vanilla. DH, while retaining HM's fruity core, thankfully scales everything down to a tolerable level and adds a touch of iris up top and cake batter below. The result? Another delicious, slightly boring gourmand that will appease generations of clubbers to come, and maybe even draw in a few parents.

ABSTRACT: To identify prognostic factors affecting Thrombosis-free survival (TFS) and Overall Survival (OS), we report the experience of a Regional cooperative group in a real-life cohort of 1144 patients with ET diagnosed from January 1979 to December 2010. There were 107 thrombotic events (9.4%) during follow-up [60 (5.3%) arterial and 47 (4.1 %) venous thromboses]. At univariate analysis, risk factors for a shorter TFS were: age > 60 yrs (p < 0,0054, CI95% 1.18 - 2.6), previous thrombosis (p< 0.0001, CI95% 1.58 - 4.52) and the presence of at least 1 cardiovascular risk factor (p= 0,036, CI95% 1.15 - 3.13). Patients with a previous thrombosis occurred ≥ 24 months before ET diagnosis had a shorter TFS compared to patients with a previous thrombosis occurred < 24 months (p=0.0029, CI95% 1.5 - 6-1); furthermore, patients with previous thrombosis occurred < 24 months did not show a shorter TFS compared with patients without previous thrombosis (p=0.303, CI95% 0.64 - 3.21). At multivariate analysis for TFS, only the occurrence of a previous thrombosis maintained its prognostic impact (p=0.0004, CI95% 1.48 - 3.79, RR 2.36). The 10-year OS was 89.9% (CI95% 87.3 - 92.5): at multivariate analysis for OS, age > 60 years (p<0.0001), anemia (p<0.0001), male gender (p=0.0019), previous thromboses (p=0.0344) and WBC > 15 x 10(9) /l (p=0.0370) were independent risk factors. Previous thrombotic events in ET patients are crucial for TFS but their importance seems related not to the occurrence per se but mainly to the interval between the event and the diagnosis.American Journal of Hematology 05/2014; 89(5).

Article: Evolution of bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw in patients with multiple myeloma and Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia: a retrospective multicentric study[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Bisphosphonates (BPs) are used intravenously to treat cancer-related conditions for the prevention of pathological fractures. Osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) is a rare complication reported in 4-15% of patients. We studied, retrospectively, 55 patients with multiple myeloma or Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia followed up from different haematological departments who developed BRONJ. All patients were treated with BPs for bone lesions and/or fractures. The most common trigger for BRONJ was dental alveolar surgery. After a median observation of 26 months, no death caused by BRONJ complication was reported. In all, 51 patients were treated with antibiotic therapy, and in 6 patients, this was performed in association with surgical debridement of necrotic bone, in 16 with hyperbaric O(2) therapy/ozonotherapy and curettage and in 12 with sequestrectomy and O(2)/hyperbaric therapy. Complete response was observed in 20 cases, partial response in 21, unchanged in 9 and worsening in 3. The association of surgical treatment with antibiotic therapy seems to be more effective in eradicating the necrotic bone than antibiotic treatment alone. O(2) hyperbaric/ozonotherapy is a very effective treatment. The cumulative dosage of BPs is important for the evolution of BRONJ. Because the most common trigger for BRONJ was dental extractions, all patients, before BP treatment, must achieve an optimal periodontal health.Blood Cancer Journal 03/2012; 2(3):e62.

Article: Symptomatic mucocutaneous toxicity of hydroxyurea in Philadelphia chromosome-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms: the Mister Hyde face of a safe drug.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The current study was conducted to evaluate severe mucocutaneous toxicity during treatment with hydroxyurea (HU) in a large cohort of patients with Philadelphia chromosome-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN). Among 993 consecutive patients newly diagnosed with MPN at 4 centers in Rome between January 1980 and December 2009, 614 patients (277 men and 337 women with a median age of 64.4 years [interquartile range (IR), 54.4 years-72.7 years]) received HU. HU was administered as first-line treatment in 523 patients (85.2%) and as ≥ second-line treatment in 91 patients (14.8%). Mucocutaneous toxicity was reported in 51 patients (8.3%) after a median period from the initiation of HU treatment of 32.1 months (IR, 10.5 months-74.6 months) and a mean HU dose of 1085 mg (± 390 mg); 30 patients (58.8%) developed a painful ulcerative skin toxicity, mainly located in the perimalleolar area; 11 patients (21.6%) had oral aphthous ulcers; and 10 patients (19.6%) developed a nonulcerative skin toxicity with erythema and skin infiltration. After the mucocutaneous toxicity occurred, HU treatment was continued at the same dose in 5 patients (9.8%), reduced in 12 patients (23.5%), and temporarily discontinued in 7 patients (13.7%); the remaining 27 patients (52.9%) required a permanent drug discontinuation. After a median period of 4.3 months (IR, 2.4 months-9.0 months) from the onset of the skin toxicity, 39 patients (76.5%) had a complete resolution and 12 patients (23.5%) had improvement without complete resolution. Mucocutaneous toxicity during HU treatment is more common than expected and may present with different clinical features. Moreover, it often requires a permanent drug discontinuation and only a partial resolution is reported to occur in approximately 25% of patients.Cancer 01/2012; 118(2):404-9.

Article: Lenalidomide can induce long-term responses in patients with multiple myeloma relapsing after multiple chemotherapy lines, in particular after allogeneic transplant[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Evidence of long-term response to lenalidomide in heavily pretreated patients with multiple myeloma is lacking. This study sought to assess whether long-term responders exist, long-term responders' characteristics, and predictive factors of a long-term response. One hundred and four patients with multiple myeloma treated with lenalidomide and dexamethasone after ≥2 therapy lines (median, 3) were analyzed. Long-term response was defined as at least a partial response (≥PR) lasting ≥12 months. The overall response rate was 73%, and 80.3% of the responses were achieved within 5 months. The median response was 14.3 months. Patients evaluable for long-term response numbered 87, and a total of 47% were long-term responders. Compared to non-long-term responders, long-term responders had better overall survival, less light-chain multiple myeloma, and higher incidence of t(11;14). Previous allogeneic transplant (alloSCT) and the response quality predicted a long-term response. In conclusion, patients treated with lenalidomide can become long-term responders; alloSCT and response quality predict long-term response.Leukemia & lymphoma 07/2011; 52(7):1262-70.

ABSTRACT: Epidemiological and clinical information on primary plasma cell leukemia (pPCL) are rarely reported. The aims are to evaluate the clinical features, prognostic factors, and efficacy of treatments in pPCL. A multicenter retrospective cohort study was carried out from January 2000 to December 2008 in 26 Italian hematology divisions. A total of 128 cases of plasma cell leukemia were collected, and 73 of them (57%) were classified as primary (male/female 43/30). Sixty-four patients had at least 1 sign of end-organ damage and 10 had extramedullary localization. One patient died early; of the remaining patients, 36 (50%) received anthracycline-based regimens as first-line therapy, 17 (24%) single alkylating agents, and 30 (42%) bortezomib or thalidomide as additional (n = 11) or unique treatments (n = 19). Twenty-three patients (31%) underwent autologous and/or allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). The median overall survival (OS) was 12.6 months; complete or partial response was achieved in 22 (30%) and 18 patients (25%), respectively; the median duration of response (DOR) was 16.4 months. HSCT patients had a longer OS and DOR (median 38.1 and 25.8 months, respectively) compared with nontransplanted patients (9.1 and 7.3 months, respectively, P < 0.001). OS was influenced by nonresponse to treatment, hypoalbuminemia, and HSCT. DOR was favorably influenced only by HSCT. pPCL is an aggressive disease with a poor prognosis and a low response rate to conventional therapy. HSCT is effective, increasing OS and DOR by 69% and 88%, respectively. The use of bortezomib and thalidomide may improve outcomes.Annals of Oncology 06/2011; 22(7):1628-35.

ABSTRACT: Anemia is defined as a reduction of hemoglobin (Hb) levels of <13 g/dL for a man and <12 g/dL for a woman. It is very frequent among hospitalized patients and can be a serious problem in patients who undergo cervical spine surgery. Anemia can be classified as: • Mild (Hb: >10 g/dL) • Moderate (Hb: 8–10 g/dL) • Severe (Hb: 6–8 g/dL) • Very severe (Hb: <6 g/dL) To identify the causes of anemia, we can use functional and morphologic criteria. However, from a practical point of view, the morphologic criteria are preferred and require the reticulocytes absolute number and the mean corpuscular volume (MCV), respectively. The flowchart for identifying the causes of anemia using morphologic criteria is reported in Fig. 2.1.12/2009: pages 13-27;
Article: Proposal and Validation of Prognostic Scoring Systems for IgG and IgA Monoclonal Gammopathies of Undetermined Significance[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The presenting clinico-hematologic features of 1,283 patients with IgG and IgA monoclonal gammopathies of undetermined significance (MGUS) were correlated with the frequency of evolution into multiple myeloma (MM). Two IgG MGUS populations were evaluated: a training sample (553 patients) and a test sample (378 patients); the IgA MGUS population consisted of 352 patients. Forty-seven of the 553 training group patients and 22 of 378 test group IgG patients developed MM after a median follow-up of 6.7 and 3.6 years, respectively. Multivariate analysis showed that serum monoclonal component (MC) levels of < or =1.5 g/dL, the absence of light-chain proteinuria and normal serum polyclonal immunoglobulin levels defined a prognostically favorable subset of patients, and could be used to stratify the patients into three groups at different 10-year risk of evolution (hazard ratio, 1.0, 5.04, 11.2; P < 0.001). This scoring system was validated in the test sample. Thirty of the 352 IgA patients developed MM after a median follow-up of 4.8 years, and multivariate analysis showed that hemoglobin levels of <12.5 g/dL and reduced serum polyclonal immunoglobulin correlated with progression. A pooled statistical analysis of all of the patients confirmed the validity of Mayo Clinic risk model showing that IgA class, serum MC levels, and light-chain proteinuria are the most important variables correlated with disease progression. Using simple variables, we validated a prognostic model for IgG MGUS. Among the IgA cases, the possible prognostic role of hemoglobin emerged in addition to a decrease in normal immunoglobulin levels.Clinical Cancer Research 06/2009; 15(13):4439-45.

BEAVERTON - Beaverton Police say they put several illegal moving operations out of commission through hefty fines and at least one arrest.
Four out of the five vehicles that did show up were put out of service for vehicle issues that made it not safe after the inspection, police spokesperson Mike Rowe said.
Officers set up a home in Beaverton where they made phone calls to five moving companies advertising through Craigslist.
We knew ahead of time they were not licensed through state records, said Rowe. One driver was suspended, another did not have an Oregon drivers license and one of the ones that was most concerning for me is one of the drivers was in possession of methamphetamine.
DMV officials say they don t keep record of moving company complaints because the business is so competitive that many times moving companies are making complaints against their competition.
If they're not properly licensed through the state, it's really hard for a consumers recourse if items are lost damaged or say if your house is damaged, because they probably don't have the right coverage or bond to cover that and then you're out (money) Rowe said.

Friends, Romans,Countrymen, lend me your ear. Well both ears actually as we take a look, and a listen to the Silverstone EB01 USB digital to analog converter.
The SilverStone Ensemble EB01 is a convenient device that can instantly translate your PC's digital signals into lifelike analog sound suitable for personal high end stereo setups. EB01's advanced internal circuitry will ensure that any sound effect or music from your CD, DVD, MP3 files, or games will be reproduced in quality as the artist and content creator originally envisioned.
Let me say that when I first saw this product I remember thinking that this looks like another gadget that no one needs. What? Convert digital to analog. What's the point? A good question to ask. If you are an audiophile like myself, you will appreciate what this little box can do. I hooked this up to my PC and my home audio system using the auxiliary channel. The results were immediate.
I used both Media Player and WinAmp and I heard sounds in songs you can only hear through your home system. The richness and fullness of the music was as intended by the artist. Subtle things like the way a guitar riff ends or background vocals that can barely be heard in analog that can't be heard at all in digital.
I have a 200 disc cd player in my home system but I have much more music than that. This device allows me to play the music I have on my hard drive through my audio system with the same high quality. Who needs a 200 disc cd player when you have this mighty, little box. The brushed aluminum case, blue LEDs and component like feet are a nice touch. It is also available in black.

Editor's note: The ribbon cutting ceremony is scheduled for 10 a.m. May 20. This corrects the date originally included in this article.
New London - Pharmacist/owner Joseph Thibeault wants his new Quality Care Drug to be the kind of place like the bar in the 1980s sitcom "Cheers."
"We will know customers' names. We will be part of the neighborhood," said Thibeault, who has been a pharmacist almost 30 years and opened the independent pharmacy at 467 Ocean Ave., in a portion of the old Falvey's auto dealership, this month.
It's the fourth Quality Care Drug for Thibeault and his partner, Greg McKenna, who looked for a residential area to locate their latest pharmacy. Their other locations are in Higganum, Centerbrook and Portland.
"We just thought the area was conducive for an independent pharmacy," said Thibeault. "It's a neighborhood, and I feel we are part of the neighborhood. People can walk by, they can stop in."
Last week, Thibeault, his wife, Lee Ann, and a pharmacy technician were busy stocking the store and greeting people who came in to welcome them to the neighborhood. Monday was a soft opening, with a ribbon-cutting set for May 20 and the grand opening May 31.
The couple emphasized that their niche is personal attention and customer service.
"As the manager/owner, I'll be here a lot of the time," said Thibeault, who has hired one other pharmacist and two technicians for a total staff of four.
An independent pharmacy is not affiliated with a chain store but can offer the same pricing and accepts all the same insurance plans and co-pays, said Thibeault.
Transferring prescriptions will be easy and there will be free, local delivery seven days a week, he said.
Last weekend, Thibeault and his staff went door-to-door through a wide swath of the south end of the city, hanging bright yellow paper tags with information about the pharmacy on door knobs, including an offer for a $5 Dunkin Donuts gift card to neighbors who returned the tag to Quality Care Drug.
While small, the store, which is newly painted and carpeted, includes a full line of typical drug store products, as well as a small selection of gifts and a large array of greeting cards. There are over-the-counter products, medical supplies, candies and crackers, sunglasses, batteries, and most everything else a customer would find in a larger store, including durable medical equipment, diabetes supplies and incontinence care.
Thibeault, who has worked in other pharmacies, including a chain drug store, said the biggest question customers typically have with an independent pharmacy is whether it will cost more. The answer, he said, is no because insurance companies dictate pricing and co-pays are the same everywhere.
He also touted Quality Care's medication management and specialty packaging, where a patient's drugs for a month are pre-organized in weekly planners, vials or blister packs with easy-to-follow instructions. The pharmacy will also offer prescription compounding of medicines not available commercially, with the exception of sterile compounds.
Last winter, the pharmacy owners sought a special permit to open the 1,570-square-foot store in about a quarter of the 5,900-square-foot former Falvey's dealership. The property is located within a neighborhood business zone, and the permit was granted.
While the pharmacy is a business opportunity for Thibeault, it is also a bonus for the neighborhood, the owner said, because it will provide easy and convenient access to health care products.
He's already met with representatives from nearby physician's offices and Lawrence + Memorial Hospital. And he and his staff have patronized the nearby restaurants and coffee shops.
"We like it here," said Thibeault, who added the business will employ the latest technology and offer old-fashioned service.

Part D
Medicare Part D helps everyone, Elizabeth Tracey reports
Everyone benefits from Medicare Part D, a recent study in the Journal of the American Medical Association demonstrates. People who had previously had poor or non-existent prescription drug coverage were examined in comparison to those with generous coverage. Redonda Miller, vice president of medical affairs at Johns Hopkins, explains the findings.
MILLER: Lo and behold, they found that the total non-drug medical spending significantly declined after January 1, 2006, implementation of Part D. So not medication spending, all spending. And it was roughly $1200 a year, 11% decline. The folks who had a generous coverage, stayed roughly the same. It was an 11% decline relative to the group who had good coverage prior to the implementation of Part D. :30
As we examine our national budget closely, clearly Medicare part D should remain. At Johns Hopkins, I'm Elizabeth Tracey.

An area of the brain gradually wastes away as the disease progresses, including part of the basal ganglia. This seems to cause a loss of control of movements: muscles normally held in check start contracting randomly.

"No regularisation, no new plans"
NEW DELHI: Opposition Bharatiya Janata Party councillors on Monday accused the Congress-ruled Municipal Corporation of Delhi of harassing the Capital's citizens by neither regularising their unauthorised constructions nor passing the new building plans as per the Centre's new notification pertaining to new building by-laws.
Raising the issue at the MCD House meeting, Leader of the Opposition Subhash Arya said changes were made in the building by-laws by the Centre through its September 22 notification. It not only relaxed the building by-laws but also allowed regularisation of unauthorised constructions as per new norms, he said.
However, more than two months had passed since the notification was issued but not a single building plan had been sanctioned by the civic body, stalling all construction activities in the city and forcing people to run from pillar to post to get their building plans sanctioned, Mr. Arya alleged. Through its September 22 notification the Centre has relaxed building by-laws allowing more floors and additional floor area ratio besides fixing regularisation charges for unauthorised constructions.
Similarly, senior BJP Councillor Vijender Gupta lambasted the Congress for its failure to give relief to people. "While the Congress-ruled Centre is claiming that it has relaxed the building by-laws, the reality is that not a single building plan has been sanctioned for over two months since the notification was issued. Similarly, people are still awaiting to regularise additional constructions in their properties," he added.
BJP Councillors also shouted anti-Congress slogans in the House forcing adjournment of the meeting.
However, Municipal Commissioner A. K. Nigam stated that there were certain issues regarding the new building by-laws that needed to be clarified with the Centre. There was delay in receiving the reply that led to problems in passing new building plans.

Denny - Don't deflect; take the argument head on. Have Rob and Ape not taught you to stand up for yourself? :confused:

I'm fairly convinced that Stone mainly got the job in Gangster Squad because the role caused for her to wear lots of make-up, and she's the spokeswoman for REVLON. Her involvement would theoretically bring the female demos in, and then have them heading to Macy's post-movie. Or some other such marketing nonsense.
Is this conversation still going on? :rolleyes:
I'm going back to the FOOTBALL thread (the real kind)
But how is praising Emma Stone an unpopular opinion? Yes, around here it might be, but in the general public, it seems to be the consensus. My point wasn't that you should agree with him, but justify your stance on Emma being a solid actress. Give examples of her performances in which she could have never been interchangeable with the Hollywood Flavor of the Month.
Also as I said in the next post I posted I agree with what you said about Hollywood... I wasn't deflecting I just didn't need to say, good point robstar. I think Emma Stone like every other actor and actress might fall to that same trap at some point or another. I'm not going to defend her on that point because I'm a fan of her work, I'm not a weird EMMA STONE IS A GODDESS type of guy.

The Bees' top scorer is suspended against his former club after being sent off during the bad-tempered 1-0 Boxing Day win at Gillingham.
Experienced striker Carl Cort could earn a recall alongside Ben Strevens, or winger Myles Weston could move forward into attack with Tottenham loanee John Bostock returning to the starting line-up.
On-loan Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny missed out at the Priestfield Stadium with a knock and will be checked over.
Regular keeper Nikki Bull is still recovering from a shoulder operation so Lewis Price, who deputised impressively on Saturday, is on stand-by again.
Defenders Ryan Dickson, James Wilson and Mark Phillips remain injury doubts.
Meanwhile, Bees boss Andy Scott bemoaned the dismissal of MacDonald despite his side's win in Kent on Saturday.
Strevens scored the winner for Brentford in the 42nd minute.
The game became increasingly fractious in the second half with home defender Josh Gowling and MacDonald both seeing red.
MacDonald had picked up his first booking for a dive in the first period and Scott, who was blanked by Gills boss Mark Stimson at the final whistle, said: "There was always going to be another sending-off and that was another chance for the ref to give out a yellow card.
"Charlie's caught the player with a late tackle but the first yellow card should never have been a booking. He didn't even appeal for the penalty. But when you've got a lot of fans jumping out of their seats and shouting at each other because their team isn't playing well, the referee got affected by it.
"It was disappointing what happened at the final whistle. I don't really like Mark Stimson and I'm not going to lower myself to that level."
