The attorney for UMD fitness instructor and prominent business owner, Rod Raymond, says he'll consider going to federal court, after the University of Minnesota's Board of Regents denied him a hearing.
Last month Raymond's attorney asked the Board of Regents for a name clearing hearing. In a written statement attorney Lindsay R.M. Jones said he asked the board for "a fair and impartial examination of the allegations made against him (Raymond)."
Jones says Raymond believes it would clear his name at UMD and in the broader community. However, Jones says the board has declined to look into Raymond's situation. Jones says he shares Raymond's disappointment in the board's decision not to investigate Raymond's grievances about how the investigations against him were conducted.
On Tuesday, the University of Minnesota's Office of the General Counsel responded to the hearing request saying the Board of Regents does not convene hearings regarding individual university personnel. The counsel said the Board of regents also plays no role in individual employment disputes, except in rare cases.
The counsel said, as a civil service employee, Raymond is subject to university civil service rules, which provide that the disciplinary actions may be challenged through the filing of a petition with the office of conflict resolution.
The counsel added that Raymond had previously received a written reprimand and suspension. In both cases, they said, he chose not to challenge the discipline.
They said this discipline is final, and no further internal process is due.

The Serbia international was being touted for a comeback in United's Champions League clash against Cluj on Wednesday evening after more than two months on the sidelines following knee surgery.
However, Ferguson says the 31-year-old is still short of full fitness and will not be considered for this weekend's derby clash against Manchester City either.
"I do not think he will play," said Ferguson. "He feels he needs another few days' training.
"He will not play in the derby if he doesn't play on Wednesday, although I wasn't considering him for Sunday anyway."
Ferguson also confirmed that Japan midfielder Shinji Kagawa has an outside chance of being involved in the derby after returning from a knee injury of his own.
"He's showing good promise now. It is much better and I don't think he is far away," said Ferguson.

It marks the first win over a ranked team for NM State (4-3) this season in four attempts. The last Aggie victory over a ranked team occurred last April 30 when NM State beat No. 51 Idaho 4-2 in the 2011 Western Athletic Conference (WAC) semifinals. Meanwhile, UNLV (3-3) suffered its first loss at home this year.
"We had big wins today," said head coach Carlos Vargas. "Luis Ramirez got us started in singles after a great doubles point victory. Marc Westgate followed with a win and Matej Stakne clinched the team match point. Felipe Frattini solidified our day with a come-from-behind win to make it 5-2.
"Germain Degardin and Eduardo Cabrita lost hard-fought matches today. It was a great overall effort. We continue to improve and show great character on the court."
Ramirez finished the weekend undefeated at 3-0 in both doubles and singles this weekend. He and Stakne teamed up to win at No. 1 doubles 8-5. Degardin and Cabrita posted an 8-4 win on doubles court three. Westgate and Frattini finished just short at No. 2 doubles, falling 8-6.
With the doubles point in hand, Ramirez was the first off the court by winning his No. 4 singles match in straight sets 6-1, 6-4. On singles court two, Westgate followed that up with a 6-3, 6-4 victory to put NM State up 3-0 early in the match.
The other four singles matches went three sets and NM State won two of them.
Stakne secured the match at the top spot. After dropping the first set 6-3, Stakne bounced back to win the final two sets by the same 6-3 set score to give the Aggies the clinching match point.
Frattini was the final Aggie victor on the day. The sophomore lost 6-4 in the first stanza at No.5 singles but completed the comeback with a 6-3 win in set two and a tough 7-5 victory in the deciding set.
Degardin and Cabrita each lost in three sets; nevertheless the Aggies claimed a huge victory over a ranked team on the road.
After their perfect 3-0 weekend, the Aggies return home to begin a three-match home stand starting with rival New Mexico on Wednesday, Feb. 8, at 1 p.m. at the NM State Tennis Center.
The match will be another battle of ranked teams as the Lobos currently sit two spots ahead of NM State in the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) rankings at No. 57.

Here's a look back at Rita Moran's recent restaurant reviews, in chronological order. Moran visits restaurants unannounced and pays for her meals.
Red Fish, Simi Valley Town Center, 1555 Simi Town Center Way, Suite 595. 823-4756. The newly opened high-end seafood-and-more restaurant brings together a contemporary, elegant look and emphasis on freshness and flavor. Red Fish comes from the entrepreneurs who established Spark Woodfire Grills in Studio City, Huntington Beach and Beverly Hills. Service is swift and smooth and there are seasonal fish "dailies" as well as traditional and innovative preparations for all the "fins" and "shells" on the menu. For those seeking non-fish entrees, there's a select "land and air" section on the menu — that's meat and chicken. Among the highlights: seared seven-spice ahi tuna appetizer, crab and shrimp stack "salad," seared Alaskan black cod with fava beans and lemongrass, and beignets served in a brown-paper sack.
Prime Steak House and Wine Bar, 2009 E. Thompson Blvd., Ventura. 652-1055. Handsomely transformed from its previous life as Tony's Steak & Seafood, Prime offers a basic steakhouse menu and an extensive wine list along with fresh ideas for mixed drinks. There are seven starters, four salads, a soup, seven entrees and nine sides, most in the steakhouse tradition. Tuna tartare is a zesty starter. Prime rib is served in 12-, 16- and 24-ounce cuts; filet mignon completes the beef bonanza. Also offered are double-bone pork chops, stuffed chicken breast and a seafood entree du jour. Service is energetic, helpful and shows signs of good training despite the overall youth of the staff.
My Florist Winecafe & Bakery, 76 S. Oak St., Ventura. 653-0003. The cafe-and-bakery combo brings a bright new look to what used to be a Goodwill thrift store. The approach to food preparation is new, too, with ovens used even for dishes that traditionally are grilled or fried. Breakfast offers delicious baked-egg dishes, frittatas, smoked salmon, French toast and sausage patties. From noon on, the menu switches to salads, soups and sandwiches. The cafe is open until midnight, and in addition to a good wine selection, will soon offer a full bar and entertainment. The bakery is in full operation, with artisanal breads and pastries sold from a display case accessed via a separate entrance at the back of the building.
Snapper Jack's Taco Shack, 4850 Verdugo Way, Camarillo, 384-0334. Also at 5100 Telegraph Road, Ventura, 642-5111, across from Ventura College. The year-old Snapper Jack's in Camarillo matches its lively decor, including bicycles and surfing images, with tasty, fresh Mexican food that has an American tilt. Red snapper is a staple on the menu, in grilled or battered fish tacos, big burritos, nachos, quesadillas and taco salads. The shrimp taco salad, if available, has great shrimp and grilled flavors, plus yummy mushrooms and luscious slices of avocado. The tacos are fine, as is the albondigas soup. Distinctive sauces and salsas can enliven any dish. A snack or dessert treat are the sugar-and-cinnamon chips, which might remind tasters of traditional buñuelos.
Mediterraneo, 32037 Agoura Road, Westlake Village, 818-889-9105; http://www.med-rest.com. Mediterraneo, on the grounds of the Westlake Village Inn, has a sophisticated look and serves contemporary Mediterranean cuisine with an infusion of California style and seasonal foods. The burratta salad is especially appealing, with creamy mozzarella wrapped in prosciutto resting on spicy arugula and thin pear slices. An exceptional entree is Ahi Three Ways, and a dessert to die for, Florentine Art, is a combination of white chocolate mousse in a caramelized almond bowl with seasonal berries.
Thai Corner, 2131 N. Oxnard Blvd., Oxnard. 983-8885. This Thai restaurant is the real deal, with its sauces and curries made in-house, along with exceptional peanut and creamy-sweet dressings. Appetizers include such finds as Thai Corner egg rolls, made from fresh cucumber, bean sprouts and baked tofu in an eggy wrap accented with tamarind sauce. A big Thai Corner salad comes with the peanut dressing, or samples of that and another mild and creamy dressing. Stir-fry for Ginger Lovers is a lively dish, and California Curry, with chicken, shrimp, pineapple and sweet basil, is a delight. There are very reasonable lunch specials and a full menu that includes rice, noodle and barbecue dishes, plus soups and other appetizers.
Ruth's Chris Steak House, 3815 State St., Suite 131, La Cumbre Plaza, Santa Barbara. 563-5674. The 130-restaurant chain founded in 1965 by Ruth Fertel sets a high standard, and it's honored by the latest site in Santa Barbara, where steaks are superior, along with the service. And it doesn't stop there. Appetizers like seared ahi tuna and shrimp remoulade are delicious; side dishes like asparagus with hollandaise and sauteed mushrooms are prepared exactly right. Even a dessert of fresh berries and cream is excellent. Not surprisingly, prices match the quality and service, and then some, for both food and wine.
Jetty Surf Cafe, 2323 Roosevelt Blvd., Silver Strand Beach, Oxnard. 984-0550. An outpost of casual camaraderie, the cafe has a distinctive Hawaiian tilt to its menu, a nod to its surfing compatibility. The Hawaiian sweet bread French toast is a treat, and good quality bacon is used in the tasty grilled chicken wrap and, of course, BLTs. Grilled yellowfin tuna over rice with teriyaki sauce is another sign of island cuisine. The building itself is small and rugged, with limited seating inside and out, but the atmosphere is convivial. It's open for breakfast and lunch.

Getting ready for a job search used to be simple. You'd rewrite your resume to reflect your latest accomplishments and current objectives. If you were a guy, you'd be sure your wardrobe included a presentable suit, and perhaps pick up a new shirt and tie for good luck. Then, you could actually start your search via networking, ad responses, and recruiters.
Today, all of those elements are approaching irrelevancy. Employers will know so much about you before you walk in the door that your spiffy power tie (or designer jeans) won't count for much. In fact, you will probably have missed out on many opportunities that you never applied for – employers are increasingly proactive in identifying candidates, and rely far less on advertising than they did in the past.
Today, preparing for a job search means thoroughly grooming your online reputation. Employers may glance at your resume, but they'll be scrutinizing your social media activity, checking your visible work products, and seeing what other people are saying about you.
While editing your LinkedIn LinkedIn profile is easy enough, getting rid of an unflattering comment or slightly embarrassing photo on a third-party site may seem impossible. And as you dig deeper into your Google Google results, the task of crafting your image to fit your employment objectives may seem impossible.
Today, both individuals and businesses of all sizes face the same problem: you are what people find about you on the Web.
Reputation management expert Andy Beal has the solution. His new book, Repped: 30 Days To A Better Online Reputation, is a 30-step action plan to examine and improve your online reputation.
Repped isn't specifically aimed at job searchers – it's written both for individuals and businesses of all sizes. But almost all of the "business" items are highly relevant to individuals. As Beal puts it,
Individuals have customers, too… While you may think you don't have customers, you're wrong. They just look different. For individuals, a "customer" is a potential employer…
Beal lays out 30 actions to take, nominally in 30 days. The reality may vary – some steps may be accomplished quickly or even skipped, while others may be initiated in a day but take far longer to complete. Indeed, one of the first steps is to establish three separate reputation goals – one each for 30 days, 30 weeks, and 30 months.
The 30 steps include goal setting, taking stock of where your online reputation stands, establishing monitoring to watch for reputation-affecting events, and, of course, a whole series of steps to ensure that any employer who Googles your name finds content that reflects the real you.
Here are just a few of the highlights:
- Your Google Audit – Beal shows you how to audit your Google reputation and organize the results into an action plan. Some items you might prefer higher, while others you'd like to push out of view.
- SEO Tips – Beal spent years in search engine optimization, and even in this short book works in a few snippets of good advice. For example, be sure if you have an "About" page on your website that it's not titled a generic "About Us" but rather "About Your Name."
- Image Search – When a prospective employer searches your name, they may look beyond Web results. Be sure to manage your image search reputation, too.
- The 80/10/10 Rule – Beal suggests that you spend most of your time – 80% – on content that you own, i.e. where you have full control over the website. The remaining time should be divided between content that you control (but don't own), like social media profiles, and content you influence (like paid listings).
For individuals, some of the reputation management process maybe more straightforward to implement than for businesses. As an individual, you probably won't have a dozen sketchy review sites with posts about you, or have competitors actively posting negative information. (If you do, Beal tells you how to deal with them.) But, as an individual or a business, there's a lot you can do to spiff up your online persona. Expect results to take a bit longer than 30 days, but the time to begin the process is now.
Andy Beal's Repped is short, results-oriented, and a great overall introduction to online reputation management.

Remember Nick Burns, the IT computer guy SNL skit?
His issue was that computer users in his company were beneath him and he was the only one who knew how to get anything done.
Worked great for the IT help desk guy back in the day (90's?) but today things evolve and grow much faster and it gets harder and harder to keep up.
A seismic shift is underway in the IT operations profession. Yesterday, companies viewed IT operations only as a cost center. The scope of IT operations was narrowly defined as managing components. As a back-office function, IT was reactive to business needs, not proactive or innovative.
Today, IT operations have moved to the forefront. Applications are used to run nearly every aspect of the business, from supply chain to sales. Forward-thinking IT executives have shifted to running IT as a business: do more with less, instantly respond to business demands, and ramp capacity up or down at a moment's notice.
Their focus is on meeting operational service levels and accelerating performance – not simply managing IT components.
Traditional IT operations software struggles to keep up with today's IT environments, which are increasingly hybrid, heterogeneous, and high volume. These tools often rely on workarounds to manage multiple OS and apps, can't handle spikes in demand, and are slow to scale.
As a result, IT operations face over-provisioning, unmet SLAs, and catastrophic failures costing thousands if not millions. IT executives are no longer willing to be locked into contracts for outdated, complex tools in sprawling product suites.
They want best-in-class solutions for IT automation, performance and analytics.

Acid Atom Reviews
write your own review
This cigar gave me a new appreciation for Maduro cigars !!! I usually do not like Maduros, because they tend to be harsh and leave my throat sore the next day. These are so smooth !!!!!!!! And a MAJOR plus ........ the women like the way they smell !!! Great draw and even burning all the way through !!! One of my favorites in the Acid line, and I've had just about every one !!!
it was by far the worst cigar i ever tried lucky for me a friend gave it to me to try. i would have to say it was 10 time sweeter than a swisher sweet and i don't like them either. i had to quit after the third drag on it i could not stomach more than that
I could not get a consistent burn out of this cigar, and it was a chore to keep it lit. The burn was not very sharp, and I found myself having to do double, even triple puffs to keep it lit. Flavorwise, it was nothing special. I didn t get any unique flavors out of this, just your standard tobacco flavor. Of the Acid s I ve tried, it is not my favorite.
After reading reviews on here, I decided to pick one of these up. Most of my recent smoking experience is with macanudo cafes and I really like them, but wanted to branch out. Prelight, this cigar smelled great, but the pleasure ended as soon as I touched it to my lips and was over taken by what tasted like saccharin or some other artificial sweeteners. I smoked it anyway because of the money I dropped. The smoke flavor was good and construction very good, but the artificial sweetener taste on my lips and tongue persisted throughout.I don t believe I will be buying another acid cigar for this reason.
My first Acid cigar was an Atom, and for my money, it's the best of the bunch. Additives are noticeable, but kept to a minimum. Almost immediately after lighting, there are rich flavors of leather, dark cherry and pepper. Hey, if you don't like flavored cigars, you probably won't like this one either. But it's a nice alternative to Acid's other overly-flavored cigars.
Great tasting cigar, slightly sweet wrapper and creamy, mellow smoke. Wasn't overwhelmingly botanical like some Acids. Mine burned pretty unevenly, though.
it was by far the worst cigar i ever tried lucky for me a friend gave it to me to try. i would have to say it was 10 time sweeter than a swisher sweet and i don't like them either. i had to quit after the third drag on it i could not stomach more than that
All I can say is Wow!! This Cigar, with a nice single malt scotch and some Al Green playing is like a day off with pay... A little spicy towards the end, but the aroma and the taste can't be beat. Only bad part was I only bought 2, and almost smoked both. Worth every Cent!! Acid Atom Maduro is a must have...
I bought one after i took a wiff of my friends Acid Atom at a New Years party, the sweet syrupy flavor and and pleasant smell is great, especially if you are smoking around people who don't like cigars. The only complaint i can think of is that the ash wasn't solid and often flaked off before i got it to the ash tray, to some it up this is my new go-to smoke for any occasion, especially paired with an after dinner cup of coffee
As a new cigar smoker, I find these absolutely wonderful. If you like sweet tasting smokes, this should be your #1 pick. Sure, cigar snobs may not like them, but these offer a great start and will help build the transition.
got one in a sampler pack, was a terrable stick burn was bad ash was very flakey, wraper flamed like a torch when lit very uneaven burn, from the other reviews I must have goten a bad stick however will not purchase another,
I do like the taste of this cigar, but once you hit the middle you will need to slow way down. This cigar also smokes like a chimney. It is very annoying and even my girlfriend was looking at it oddly because of how much smoke was just pouring off this cigar. I did like it but I don't think I will be buying These again any time soon.

Stories that mess with your head are all the rage these days. Inception, Looper, Cloud Atlas — all these movies seem to require advanced degrees in philosophy and quantum physics to understand fully, but we're sucked in anyway. And when a complete mindf— of a story also has compelling characters and hot romance, we're lost. So we're super excited that young adult novels and teen-targeted TV shows are getting in on the game too. Elizabeth Norris' debut novel Unraveling, which came out this May, does what very few books can, blending the kind of high school angst we love with a metaphysical mystery and a touch of sci-fi that doesn't turn off those who aren't naturally fans of the genre. No wonder MTV just snatched it up as the basis of its next scripted series.
The novel begins when high school junior Janelle Tenner is hit by a truck and, she's pretty sure, dies. But Ben Michaels, whom she's always thought of as a weird stoner kid, somehow brought her back to life. Not only is she intrigued by him (way more than she is by her jock boyfriend), but she's also compelled to investigate some mysterious (and super gruesome) deaths in a case her FBI agent father is in charge of. Of course, the two are related. And it turns out, the fate of her world depends on her figuring out this puzzle. I'm not going to spoil any more for you. Just know that the chemistry between Ben and Janelle is palpable, and the countdown running through the book is enough to make you break a sweat. If you haven't yet read it, you have time to catch up and become a fan before the sequel, Unbreakable, comes out on April 23, 2013. We've got the exclusive premiere of the cover above, and in a version you can study at length below.
Can't wait!

PRESTONSBURG — Community members gathered Tuesday in Prestonsburg for Communities Against Drug Addictions regularly month meeting.
Tim Robinson was this month's guest speaker. Robinson, president of Addiction Recovery Centers of America, told those in attendance of trends in the current state of the war on drugs, and his organizations plans to help in the battle against addiction.
Robinson said that his company wasn't looking to try to compete with other established agencies, but was hoping to provide more opportunities for counseling to those struggling with addictions.
"Finally give people a place to turn. Give them a bed and get them help," said Robinson. "We're up to the challenge, and this (drug addiction) isn't going to lick the people of the mountains."
Robinson said his company is planning to open counseling centers in Prestonsburg at the Archer Clinic, as well as Inez and Hazard among others.
The next regularly scheduled meeting of Communities Against Drug Addiction will be held Tuesday, Sept. 17, at noon.

Participant Eligibility
1.) Age 18-80 years
2.) NYHA class III-IV heart failure for 45 days of the last 60 days
3.) Left ventricular ejection fraction <= 35%
4.) Heart failure diagnosis or typical symptoms for 12 months
5.) Use of evidence based oral medications (beta-blockers, ACE-inhibitors/ARBs, aldosterone antagonist) for at least 3 months prior to enrollment or documented medication contraindication or intolerance.
6.) Hospitalization for heart failure within the previous 12 months (other than for elective procedure)
7.) Informed consent given
In addition, they must have at least one of the following:

September 28, 2009 - Grand Rapids, Michigan (September 25, 2009) - The Hall of Fame Gala, athletic contests, music, midway games and the renewal of old friendships are all part of this year's Aquinas College Homecoming Weekend October 2-4. The campus grounds will be bustling with activities for returning alumni and their families, with something for everyone to enjoy.The weekend of activities kicks off Friday, Oct. 2, with the College's annual Hall of Fame Gala to be held in the Wege Center Ballroom. Tickets for the evening, which begins with cocktails at 5:30 p.m. and dinner at 6:30 p.m., are $65/person. Recipients to be honored during the Gala include two individuals who will receive Alumni Association Awards. James L. Farris '96, Deputy Chief of Police for the Grand Rapids Police Department will be receiving the Outstanding Alumnus Award. Farris pioneered the community policing program on Grand Rapids' south side and is active with community outreach agencies. Receiving the Distinguished Service Award will be Father Mark C. Przybysz '83. The Pastor of St. Anthony of Padua Catholic Church and Director of the Continuing Formation of Priests for the Diocese of Grand Rapids, Father Przybysz is strongly involved in community activities and organizations. A proponent of lifelong learning, Fr. Przybysz has used his influence in the Catholic community to raise funds for Aquinas College and has made generous donations of his own to the school.The College Hall of Fame will induct three new members. The late Bruce Early, Ph.D., was a member of the Aquinas College faculty in the department of music from 1971 until his death in 1998. Considered the premier influence on the local jazz scene for a quarter century, he organized annual Jazz Festivals that brought thousands to the campus. Richard Sedlecky '51 was active in a variety of organizations while attending Aquinas and supervised the construction of the Marian shrine on campus. He and his wife Barbara `77 were among the founders of Capitol Lunch, now known as God's Kitchen, which serves free meals to those in need. Founder and first director of the Emeritus program at Aquinas, Sr. Agnes Thiel, O.P. '62 was an advocate for senior citizens in Grand Rapids, Kent County and Lansing for 30 years. She helped older adults receive better health care, transportation and home-delivered meals.Five individuals will be inducted into the Aquinas Athletic Hall of Fame. Ottawa Hills High school graduate and Jenison resident Mark Hendrickson '81 earned first team All-American honors for baseball in 1981 when he batted .421, drove in 81 runs, and set the Michigan collegiate home run record with 19. Rick Heuvelman '79 of Wyoming (Mi.) attended Wyoming Rogers High School and was a leading power hitter from 1977 to 1979. Heuvelman was captain of the 1979 State Championship baseball squad and earned All-American honors that season. Two time All-State and All-American performer Tim Matchinsky '77, a lifelong resident of Holland, was an outstanding hitter during the mid-1970's. He batted over .400 on two separate occasions. Mary Takas '84 of Grand Rapids was a four-year starter on the Aquinas softball team and a four-year letter winner in basketball. A two time All-State performer, Mary also coached the softball and basketball teams and led both to national tournaments. A star for the Aquinas College women's tennis team, Grand Rapids native Pat Williams '68 was a city champion at the age of 16. She has coached Grand Rapids Catholic Central's boys and girls tennis teams for more than two decades.On Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 3 & 4, Aquinas will host numerous activities for alumni and their families as part of Homecoming Weekend. Included will be the AQ Run Thru which takes place Saturday morning (Oct. 3) and offers a 5k run or two-mile walk option for participants.

Investors are always looking at the bottom line to gauge the health of a company and a new report paints a positive picture for the Korean phone maker, Samsung Electronics. The report, which was published by the Yonhap News Agency and cites the analysis that was performed by the investment bank UBS shows that Samsung has the potential of seeing 60 million smartphones being shipped during the fourth quarter.
UBS was able to come to this figure by looking at the strengths of the company's flagship Android phone, the Galaxy S3 and their Galaxy Note 2. If this estimate for the period ending December 2012 is correct, it would mean that quarter over quarter, Samsung saw shipments increase by approximately 5 million. In addition, depending upon the actual sales figures and the sell through rate, Q4 shipments could go up by another 3 million to 63 million. We all know of the popularity of the Galaxy S3, but UBS analyst Nicolas Gaudios states that the Galaxy Note 2 will play an integral role for the company. In the first five weeks that the device was on sale, Samsung had 3 million devices sold and the Q4 projection calls for 7 million sales which is now above the original estimate of 5 million. All of this should allow Samsung to extend their 2013 mobile phone market share to 37%.

A new study commissioned by CNN's "Anderson Cooper 360°" found that the stereotype of the schoolyard bully preying on the weak doesn't reflect reality in schools.
Instead, the research shows that many students are involved in "social combat" -- a constant verbal, physical and cyber fight to the top of the school social hierarchy.
"Kids are caught up in patterns of cruelty and aggression that have to do with jockeying for status," explains Robert Faris, a sociologist who "Anderson Cooper 360°" partnered with for the pilot study. "It's really not the kids that are psychologically troubled who are on the margins or the fringes of the school's social life. It's the kids right in the middle, at the heart of things ... often, typically highly, well-liked popular kids who are engaging in these behaviors."

We recently had a friend from Canada visiting and took her to the Tadich for lunch. I had raved about it and told her it was a must to go to. In a nutshell it has become to well known they now hove the big head. The prices were outrageous for the amount and the quality of food. My veal was overcooked to the point it was dry, it came with 3 brussels sprouts, and I believe french fries. I only ate the veal, left the rest. I ordered a coke and got about 5 ounces with a lot of ice. $3.25 and NO refills. The waiter gave us service, period. No pleasant attitude at all. So, After 45 years, we will not return.
Posted by Jeff on 12/23/2013
A cousin came to visit a decade or so ago. My first time to Tadich's. I returned a few yrs later to have the Rainbow Trout which they were out of on my 1st visit. It came w/ a variety of vegetables and super hot and great tasting fries, ea fry about the size of my thumb. The trout and the sour dough bread were also very good. The vegs thou were cool, they couldn't melt my butter. The server did offer to replace them but I was already packed to go. I returned a few days ago again for the trout and instead of a variety of vegs I got two Brussels sprouts and the thumb sized piping hot FFs had more of a potato interior than a FF interior- under cooked. The fish and bread were as good as always.

We had Tadich Grill recommended to us from a friend while we were on a vacation to S.F. Hands down, that was the best place we have ever been. It was a light hearted, buzzing and the quinessential old school restaurant. We ordered a bottle of the Chardonnay-more on the buttery side- it was the best wine I have ever had. I want to order some from a supplier. You wont be disappointed making this your go-to stop while in San Francisco. Absolutley wonderful.

delicious foods!
Posted by Stan on 01/28/2012
I frequented Tadich years ago, and looked forward to dining there again. Alas, today I was disappointed. I make better sole at home,. Very dry, and what passes for tartar sauce, I would not serve. My dinner date enjoyed her meal, I did not mine.
Posted by Stew from TX on 09/27/2011
Three of us got there around 615pm and got a booth right away. Oysters rockefeller verry good. Tomato quartet salad delightful with lots of crab and shrimp. Cioppono unBELIEVEable, very flavorful base and a ton of seafood. A real highlight.
Locals that we met at the ball park recommended this place. If you like Shaws crab house in Chicago and Docks in Atlantic city,you will love this place. Crowded, noisy, vintage,great service, delicious food. We had oysters Rockefeller, salmon, scallops, filet as entrees. All were wonderful, as were the sides they were served with. Great sf experience and cable car stop is right outside.

And I was so looking forward to seeing it happen live! But nonetheless, Lance Armstrong's leaked confession on the Oprah Winfrey show to be shown on Thursday is expected but shocking. That the pretty much vindicated case against Armstrong is still shocking – a few months after the case become truth rather than conspiracy – shows the extent of the cheating he committed. While the exact extent is not yet known – how high up in the organisation that seemed to be involved in this great cheating scandal – that he conned the world into thinking him as one of the great heroes in modern sport is itself quite incredible.
The US Anti-Doping Agency accused him of "the most sophisticated, professionalised and successful doping programme" cycling had ever seen – you could pretty much say that for sport in general. Armstrong for long professed his innocence but is now considering whether to testify against sport officials. Unnamed sources have leaked to leading US papers the news that he admits to doping but he denied being the "kingpin" of the programme. It is thought that he is hoping to clean up his name so that he can appeal against the lifetime band given to him.
Betsy Andreu, one of Armstrong's first accusers and wife of former Armstrong teammate Frankie, said that Armstrong's confession was "very emotional and very sad".
"He used to be one of my husband's best friends and because he wouldn't go along with the doping, he got kicked to the side" she said. "Lance could have a positive impact if he tells the truth on everything. He's got to be completely honest."
Unsurprisingly Armstrong got stripped of all his titles and lost most of his sponsorships – he was even forced to leave Livestrong. The backlash may not be over as it is thought that he will be sued by the US Postal Service and is already being sued by the UK Sunday Times for a $1.6m libel payment they had to pay after alleging he was a cheat in 2004. Armstrong may even have to face perjury as he denied using performance-enhancing drugs in court in 2005.
People finding out the news of his confession today may miss out on the television experience of finding out live on TV, but the news is still vindictive of one of the great scandals in modern sport.

Seffner, Fl - The Armwood Hawks made it look easy with a 40-6 home win over Strawberry Crest at Lyle Flagg Stadium.
Junior quarter Noah Johnson lead a balanced attack for Armwood (10-0), with five different players scoring a first half touchdown for the Hawks.
Armwood's defense, which allowed a 4th quarter touchdown, has only given up 40 points for the entire season.
For Strawberry Crest (6-4), it's already been a disappointing and short week. The Chargers lost Monday night in a three-way playoff for a chance to make the postseason, and just four days later, playing their season finale against one of the top teams in the bay area.
Next Friday, Armwood opens the postseason at home against the Venice Indians.

|Anaheim Public Utilities
ANAHEIM, CA - (May 17, 2011) -
Anaheim Public Utilities is celebrating Water Awareness Month in May, participating in a number of activities for all ages. The events are designed to help educate the Anaheim community on how to use water efficiently to help ensure there is adequate water supply in the future.
This past weekend Anaheim Public Utilities sponsored Anaheim, Canyon, and Savannah High Schools at the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California's 2011 Solar Cup Boat Races. Out of the 40 teams competing, Savannah High earned the First Place award in the Veteran Teams category and Anaheim High was awarded the Bart Beziak Memorial Spirit of Solar Cup trophy for their spirit and overall positive attitude. The three-day event was held at Metropolitan's Lake Skinner reservoir in southwestern Riverside County.
"These types of hands-on experiences help to educate our youth on how renewable resources can help preserve our precious resources. More importantly, they have fun learning." said Marcie Edwards, Anaheim Public Utilities General Manager.
Anaheim Public Utilities also sponsored the 2011 Water Conservation Poster Contest, and Angels Baseball is teaming up with them to recognize the winners. All 18 winning artists (first, second, and third-place winners in each grade level) will receive trophies during a pre-game ceremony at Angel Stadium of Anaheim on May 25. The winning posters are on display this month in the Anaheim West Tower lobby (located at 201 S. Anaheim Blvd.), or you can also view them by clicking here. Anaheim received more than two hundred entries from first- through sixth-grade students enrolled in Anaheim public and private elementary schools.
To officially kick off the events, the Mayor and City Council proclaimed May as Water Awareness Month at their May 3rd meeting. To further encourage Anaheim residents to use water efficiently, the City is hosting California Friendly Landscape Workshops at the Downtown Community Center each Saturday from April 23rd to May 21st. Workshops are free for residential gardening enthusiasts interested in learning to design and maintain beautiful water-efficient California-friendly and native gardens and landscapes.
To learn more, visit the Anaheim Public Utilities booth at the Downtown Anaheim Farmers Market this Thursday from noon to 3 p.m. Staff will be available to distribute free water conservation literature and giveaways.

I have been to many sushi restaurants, particularly in the UES, and this is by far the most disappointing. The restaurant does have a nice atmosphere and you can sit outside, which is nice, but the food is nothing spectacular. The overall value is not good - since the food is relatively expensive, one would expect it to be better than average. It is definitely lacking. I would not recommend this place to anyone.
Posted by Chic on 05/13/2007
I absolutely love this place. It is one of the last untouched asian-fusion restaurants left in this city - and by that, I mean no tourists, no long lines, but at the same time, a very cool ambience with stylish decor. It doesn't try too hard, and the food is DELICIOUS (and presented beautifully without too many bells and whistles). Try the coconut seafood chowder. It's served in a coconut and is wonderful (with many REAL chunks of seafood). The sushi is wonderful, and the rolls are unique, fresh, and plentiful. Try the Upper East Side roll, it's absolutely delicious. I can't say enough good things about this place, and I've been to tons of sushi restaurants in the city. An awesome place for a date or just to go out with a friends, plus a great little outdoor area that, in the nice, low-key residential UES, is perfect in the summer.
Posted by Anonymous on 04/08/2007
Amber is certainly one of my favorite places to go to if I'm looking for a great time with friends! The decor is hip plus some romance, and the music is one of the reasons why we keep on going back! Food and drinks are always consistent, which's hard to do when the restaurant is always packed (the grilled sea bass and flirtini are must trys!). The friendly service can be a bit rushed, but don't let it affect the good times that you're going to have! Ask to sit in the back, the darker, cozier room will make your evening more pleasant!
Posted by Anonymous on 03/24/2007
If you like to be rushed then this is the place for you. All the waitress and hosts/hostess did was look at our table to see when we would be finished. The place was so dark that the only way to read the menu was by a candle . As a matter of fact this must have been a problem as my menu was charred from people trying to do the same. Aside from that, the basil beef was fatty, the wasabi shumai was gummy and the chicken terriaki was dry. and the chocolate dessert was a frozen mousse. I must say though the sashimi was tasty. A bit over priced for what it was.
Posted by Anonymous on 03/17/2007
I was so surprised by the negative reviews - my boyfriend and I love this place! Their sushi is great as is everything else we have tried. Their calamari is great with a coconut breading as are all the fun cocktails - try the keylime martini or green tea margarita. It is more expensive than the other UES sushi places but I think its the best by far either from carryout or dine in. Don't let the negative reviews deter you!
Posted by Shala S. on 02/20/2007
This place looks like nothing special from the outside, but once you step in, it's wonderfully surprising! The atmosphere is very "cool and relaxing"... a great place for a casual date. An attractive bar and an awesome stone wall leading to the back is impressive! The food here is delicious! Citrus Salmon Carpaccio is a must have, as is the spicy Roti Kaya (which I know as Roti Canai). The kitchen entrees are as tasty as the sushi bar entrees, so you can even dine with someone that doesn't like sushi! If you ARE a sushi lover, try the Haku Zushi... simply divine. They have a wide range of chilled sake, but only 1 choice for hot sake. The prices are reasonable. You really can't go wrong here! ENJOY!!!
Posted by Anonymous on 02/17/2007
This place is great, consistent sushi. Is it a little pricey, sure, but what the hell isnt these days. Ask to sit in the back, a little bit more quiet. The service is kind of ok but they do the job. If you are looking for an extensive explaination of the menu forget it. But to the person who wrote the kitchen dish was poor, what are you doing going to a sushi restaurant and ordering from the kitchen. It's like going to a steakhouse and asking how the burger is -- how do you think it is....come on.

RICHMOND, Va. (WTVR) — A South Richmond homeowner says thieves snuck into the crawl space beneath her home and ripped out all of the copper pipes.
Howard Spurlock, the homeowner's father, said the brazen crooks hit his daughter's home on Powell Road on Monday.
Spurlock said his daughter first realized there was a problem when the water wouldn't come on in her home. She called a plumbing company to figure out what was the matter.
"The two plumbers went under the home and they came out with a disgusted look on their faces," Spurlock said. "They said someone went in and ripped out all of the copper from under the house. Somebody knew what they were doing because the guy explained they broke it because they were in a hurry."
Local scrap metal yards said copper thefts are very prevalent. To sell copper, a person would likely bring in between $1.80 and $3 per pound.
Spurlock said those few dollars a thief might get are hardly worth the headache left behind for his daughter.
"She is a hardworking woman. She is a single parent and if they have the nerve to go under your house, they have the nerve to go in your house. It's sickening, very sickening," Spurlock said.

For the uninitiated, BABIP — pronounced "baa-bip" — stands for Batting Average on Balls in Play. It is a simple measure of how often a player reaches base safely when he makes contact into the field of play — i.e. where defenders have the opportunity to make an out. Essentially, it is regular batting average with strikeouts and home runs omitted.
BABIP tends to be a very fickle thing, which is why most people use it primarily as a measure of who's having "lucky" or "unlucky" seasons at the plate (or on the mound). The league average in the current hitting environment hovers around .290, but 100 point swings year-to-year are not uncommon. Michael Cuddyer, for instance, had a .287 BABIP in 2012 and a .382 BABIP in 2013.
The reason for the huge variation is not because BABIP is a "bad" stat, but rather because it takes a long time (about two years) to stabilize. (It's almost as though 162 games is an arbitrary endpoint!) For this reason, many are hesitant to attribute skill to a player's BABIP if it falls outside the norm.
Mike Trout may be an exception.
Two types* of hitters have demonstrated a general ability to best the BABIP dragons on a yearly basis: 1) high line-drive/no pop-up guys like Joey Votto and Joe Mauer; and 2) ground-ball speedsters like Michael Bourn and Austin Jackson.
So, then. Which group does Trout fall into? Uhh … well, BOTH.
Trout's career line-drive (22.6%) and pop-up (4.1%) percentages haven't quite reached Vottoan levels of mastery, but both figures are still among the league's best — and they're improving. Since his debut in 2011, Trout's line drives have increased by 2.3 percentage points, while his pop-ups have gone down by 1.7.
In the ground-ball speedster category, Trout is already unrivaled. His 53 infield hits the last two years may not be the most in baseball, but counting numbers alone give an incomplete picture. Yes, guys like Norichika Aoki and Dustin Pedroia have more infield knocks than Trout, but they also hit many more ground balls overall.
In terms of ground balls per infield hit, no one can touch Trout. His infield-hit percentage of 16.2 this season not only led the league by nearly three points, it's also the third-best mark since 1901. And, once again, it's improving with time — jumping up from 8.3 percent in 2011.
I don't want to raise expectations too high, but if those figures continue to get better, there's a real chance that Trout could finish a season with a BABIP over .400. In the past 36 years, that's been done just twice — Jose Hernandez ('02), Manny Ramirez ('00) — and just 26 times since 1901. It would be all-too-fitting if Trout were the 27th player to accomplish the feat.
Oh yeah, did I mention that his current career BABIP of .366 is second all-time to Ty Cobb? That seems kind of important. #FISHTALES
*For now, I'm just going to ignore the high pop-up/low line-drive guys like Wilson Betemit, Carlos Gonzalez and Reed Johnson, who somehow have career BABIPs over .330. They make no sense to me.

BLUFFTON — After having to postpone the match twice due to rain, Columbia City's golf team was finally able to travel to play conference foe Norwell at Timber Ridge Golf Course.
The Eagles came out victorious winning 178-189.
"In the end, we are happy to get a win in these tough conditions here," Columbia City Head Coach Andrew Thompson said. "I'm proud of these guys for getting through."
The Eagles were led by freshman Tyler Green who fired a 40 for the night. Green was one stroke behind the match medalist, Ked Milholland, who shot a 39.
Spencer Klimek was four strokes behind Green, shooting a 44.

Nvidia 1.0-6111 don't boot to Xserver
Hi there,
I'm out of action.Need a little help.I tried "search" but nothing that can help me.The distro is MDK 10.1.I installed the Nvidia 1.0-6111, and now every new boot i need to do a modprobe nvidia to load Xserver.Modprobe.preload already has nvidia-agp.I tried alias char-major-195 nvidia in modules.conf, but no go.
any thoughts?
Thanks in advance.
Re: Nvidia 1.0-6111 don't boot to Xserver
Ok, i made i little change in modprobe.preload to use only nvidia, and it is working now.Is there any difference between nvidia-agp and nvidia only there?Am i missing something doing that?
Re: Nvidia 1.0-6111 don't boot to Xserver
nvidia-agp is a module built from your kernel sources to support agp mode on nforce chipsets, it is not part of the nvidia driver you installed. nvidia is the kernel module built as part of the driver. You must have both loaded if you are using the kernel's agp support (agpgart) and have an nforce chipset (nvidia-agp is chipset specific part of agpgart, for instance there is also an intel-agp).

Probiotics and Gluten Intolerance/Celiac Disease
Posted By Alison On Apr 14, 2011 @ In Celiac Disease,Gluten Intolerance,Healthy Living,News & Research | 2 Comments
Bacteria – your gut is full of it! But wait, before you call the doctor for antibiotics, you need to know that not all bacteria are bad. In fact, the "friendly" bacteria that reside in your gut are vital to maintaining a healthy digestive system, and amazingly and perhaps most importantly, a healthy immune system.
Unfortunately, the intestinal flora in many people's digestive tracts are out of balance, with not enough of the good bacteria. Why the decrease in beneficial gut bacteria? It seems the way we live in our modern society is contributing to the imbalance. Consider some of the following theories as to why:
Given the pace of our society today, it is unlikely that any of the above behaviors will change, so people are going to continue to have this bacterial imbalance.
If you have gluten intolerance or celiac disease like me, your gut flora may especially be out of whack. WANT TO READ THE REST? Go over to Attune Foods, where you will read some research on probiotics and celiac disease, and also get some advice on probiotics from Certified Nutritionist Sheila Wagner.

College presidents hold gun safety conference
Today in Washington D.C., 25 college presidents gathered for a conference to discuss possible solutions for recent increases in gun violence.
The meetings comes in the wake of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Newtown, Conn. in which 26 members of the school community were killed including 20 children.
Since the shooting, 350 college presidents have signed the College Presidents for Gun Safety letter. The Association of American Universities — has also written a letter addressing the issue. University President Mary Sue Coleman is on the executive committee of the AAU.
"As leaders of public and private universities, we strongly urge the president and the Congress to seek effective means of mitigating this scourge of American life," the letter reads.
U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan said Congress needs outside pressure in order to enact legislation to prevent more gun violence, the AP reported. He feels that only the police force should be allowed to carry guns on school campuses — a response to the National Rifle Association's call for an armed guard in every school.
Obama spoke earlier in the day recognizing importance of overcoming the political challenges that face increased gun control measures.

There is an Australia that we all know and love. But too often the story of our nation does not look at our history with honesty.
Learning more about Australia's Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples is important for moving forward and for all Australians to share in our national identity. It means understanding the past and looking to the future.
Building a nation for us all
45,000 years ago | Longest living culture
Rock engravings in South Australia suggest evidence of land inhabitancy making Aboriginal Australians the longest living culture in the world
1869-1897 | Protection
'Protection' laws in Victoria, NSW and Queensland oversee the lives of Aboriginal people.
1901 | Not counted
Australia becomes a 'Federation' under the Australian Constitution. Under the Constitution, Aboriginal people will not be counted in the census and the Australian Government can make laws about people of any race except Aboriginal people. This means that state laws continue to apply to Aboriginal people.
1905-1915 | Laws removing children and moving people
Laws in Western Australia, New South Wales, South Australia and the Northern Territory enable the forced removal of children and moving Indigenous people to and from reserves.
1937 | Assimilation is the goal
Assimilation is adopted as the national policy: the destiny of the natives of aboriginal origin, but not of the full blood, lies in ultimate absorption … with a view to their taking their place in the white community on an equal footing with the whites.
In 1951, the third government conference on 'native welfare' confirmed assimilation as the aim of 'native welfare' measures.
1940 | NSW begins to undo damage
The NSW Aborigines Protection Board loses its power to remove Indigenous children. The Board is renamed the Aborigines Welfare Board and is finally abolished in 1969.
1967 | Vote yes for Aborigines
A national referendum is held to amend the Constitution. Over 90% of voters say yes. Legally this means that Australians give power to the Australian Government to make laws for Aboriginal people and Aborigines are included in the census for the first time.
But the 1967 referendum is more than legal changes; it is about all Australians coming together to recognise past wrongs and to move forward together.
1969 | No more removal for 'protection'
All states repeal legislation allowing for the removal of Aboriginal children under the policy of 'protection'. In the following years, Aboriginal and Islander Child Care Agencies are set up to challenge removal applications and provide alternatives to the removal of Indigenous children from their families.
1972 | Tent Embassy
The Aboriginal Tent Embassy is pitched outside Parliament House in Canberra to demonstrate for land rights.
1975 | Race discrimination is illegal
The Australian Government passes the Racial Discrimination Act 1975.
1976 | Land rights begins
The Australian Government passes the Aboriginal Land Rights (Northern Territory) Act 1976. This law provides for recognition of Aboriginal land ownership, granting land rights to 11,000 Aboriginal people and enabling other Aboriginal people to lodge a claim for recognition of traditional ownership of their lands.
1980 | Link-Up
The Link-Up (NSW) Aboriginal Corporation is established. Link-Up provides family tracing, reunion and support for forcibly removed children and their families.
It is followed by Link-Up (Brisbane) in 1984, Link-Up (Darwin) in 1989, Link-Up (Tas) in 1991, Link-Up (Vic) in 1992, Link-Up (SA) in 1999, Link-Up (Alice Springs) in 2000, and Link-Up (WA) in 2001.
1992 | The terra nullius lie
The High Court of Australia makes its landmark Mabo v Queensland decision that Australia was never terra nullius, or empty land and that native title exists over some land.
1993 | Native Title
The High Court of Australia makes its landmark Mabo v Queensland decision that Australia was never terra nullius, or empty land and that native title exists over some land.
1997 | Sorry
The parliaments and governments of Victoria, Tasmania, ACT, New South Wales, South Australia and Western Australia all issue statements recognising and publicly apologising to the Stolen Generations.
2000 | People's walk for reconciliation
Hundreds of thousands of Australians walk for Reconciliation on 28 May in state and territory capital cities.
2004 | Reconciliation
The Australian Government establishes a memorial to the Stolen Generations at Reconciliation Place in Canberra.
2008 | The Apology
On 13 February 2008 Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, on behalf of the Australian Parliament, makes a historic national Apology to the Stolen Generations. The Apology acknowledges the past mistreatment of Indigenous peoples and recognises the grief, suffering and loss inflicted on the Stolen Generations.
2009 | International declaration
The Australian Government formally endorses the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. The Declaration specifically recognises that even though everyone is equally entitled to human rights, Indigenous people have not always enjoyed those rights.
2010-Now | Recognising Indigenous Australians
The Expert Panel on Constitutional Recognition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples is established. The Panel's job is to hear from Australians about the best way to recognise indigenous people in our Constitution.
You can learn more about the best way that our most important legal document can be a source of pride and recongnise our rich Indigenous culture. Click here to learn more.

But this has not been the company's best couple of weeks for public relations.
Schnucks announced Sept. 5 it was closing three stores, including two predominantly serving blacks on the city's North Side. Then, to a make a bad situation far worse, it candidly stated it was not willing to lease the store it was closing at Delmar and Kingshighway to a supermarket competitor because it didn't want to hurt business at its store a mile away, at 4171 Lindell Blvd.
This didn't play well, and with good reason. Schnucks is a $1.8 billion-plus enterprise, ranked in 1998 by Forbes magazine as the 89th-largest private company in America. Just five years ago, it ruffled more than a few feathers by buying out chief competitor National -- after skirmishing with the Justice Department -- and risked getting a tad too large for its old homegrown "friendliest stores in town" slogan.
The closings, initially described as "irreversible" by CEO Craig Schnuck, were not greeted with much friendliness. Pointed criticism came forth from Mayor Clarence Harmon, hardly known as an angry black activist, as well as African-American clergy and other leaders.
When the ever-accessible Schnuck tried to explain the company's stance in the Post-Dispatch, things got worse. Maybe you get honesty points for talking about how inner-city shoppers buy cheaper items, fewer at a time; or how customer take home shopping carts; or the extra employees you need to handle security and food-stamp payments, but on the PR-friendliness scale, we're talking near-Firestone here.
Even Harmon went ballistic, calling Schnuck's comments "sort of a blanket indictment of the city" with "a connotation that was unpleasant, whether it was intended or not." He added that "the implications of it are racial, (although) I'm not accusing them of being racist," according to the Post.
And that wasn't all. Attorney General Jay Nixon jumped into the fray with the threat of a lawsuit, saying the company had signed an antitrust agreement in 1995 barring it from refusing to sell or lease closed stores to competitors.
Whether in response to those threats or in response to the outcry from the city, or both, Schnucks gingerly agreed to keep the Delmar location open for six months while a coalition of black clergy drums up (ironically enough) Schnucks shoppers. Meanwhile, the company closed its downtown location at 1030 Cass Ave. and is voluntarily shuttling customers to another city location from its parking lot.
If you throw in the fact that Schnucks received $2 million in city community-development block-grant funds to help it open a now-thriving supercenter at Union and Natural Bridge, none of this feels so good. In fact, on the face of it, there seems to be no decent public-relations defense.
Well, at the risk of much political incorrectness, I think there is. To be sure, there seems no justification for even an appearance of resisting competition at the Delmar location, but that aside, some of the emotional attacks on the company -- such as those at a protest at the Natural Bridge store over the weekend -- are a bit over the top.
The main reason Schnucks is a target in the city is that -- unlike chief competitors Dierbergs (no stores) and Shop 'N Save (one store) -- it does indeed do business within the city limits. Admittedly, most of that presence before the National buyout was on the South Side, but it must be a little galling to get hammered for abandoning the city when you've got 10 stores and none of your competitors, who go unscathed, has one. Isn't it?
"It's not a little galling, it galls me greatly," CEO Craig Schnuck told me Tuesday. "We're the ones being criticized, whereas it's the other stores who have done nothing in the city."
As for the racial thing, Schnuck snapped, "I think anybody who knows me would know that's the furthest thing from the truth. I resent the implication by anyone who is making that claim."
Schnuck said the closings were the only way to keep the other Schnucks stores in the city viable. He said that in the past five years, the company has lost $4.6 million at its now-closed Cass location and $2.8 million at the Delmar location.
"I think that's an extraordinary contribution to North City over the past five years, but we just could not continue to absorb those kind of losses," Schnuck said. "With the city's declining population base, there will be fewer and fewer stores that will be able to operate profitably.
"The key thing we have to do is find ways to turn around the population decline. There's three major things that are needed: good jobs, a good education system and good housing.
"I'm trying to work on the good-jobs piece," Schnuck says, referring to his role as co-chairman of the St. Louis Inner City Competitive Alliance, a position that does seem a bit ironic at the moment.
Schnuck noted that the community-development grant at Natural Bridge was negotiated in 1993 -- well before the National buyout -- and also claimed that minutes of National board meetings to which Schnucks become privy after the buyout show that National planned to close the Delmar store in any event.

Legislative Clerkships and Their Implications for Legal Education, Politics, and the Law
April 5, 2011 8:00am - 1:30pm
A bipartisan bill to create a congressional law clerk program analogous to the judicial law clerk program was passed overwhelmingly by the U.S. House in 2008 and 2009, and will be reintroduced in the current Congress. Meanwhile, state and local legislatures are considering similar programs. Understanding of the importance of legislation, the legislative process, and legislative work is growing within the legal community.

Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) will keynote the breakfast program, which starts at 8:30. Rep. Dan Lungren (R-CA), Chairman of the House Administration Committee, will keynote the luncheon program, which begins at 12:30. The full agenda is listed below.

text: Since Charlie is taking such a hard line. Should we as pool fans take the hard line and boycott all of his tournaments and also boycott his tournament sponsors. I am so dam tired of 1 person trying to rule the pool world. The "either you do it my way or no way" is getting pretty sickening. It appears that Charlie Williams and his loyal band of followers do not care about us as fans. If Charlie wants to rule the pool world as it appears he does. Then let him put up his own money for all the tournaments he wants. Then he can rule them as he see's fit. Otherwise leave the other independent promotors alone. As i said before. Don Mackey tried it with the PBT. And where is the PBT today? Dead and buried. If Charlie keeps it up that is where the UPA is headed for. The players boycotting the OPEN should be ashamed of themselves. I am so sad to see Tony Robles dissapoint all of his fans of which there are many. Alot of people went out of their way and supported him when they tried to get him to the big tournament awhile back. He is playing so good right now. It is a real shame that he is not playing. I feel that he would have done so well this year. Do not get me wrong about my feelings on Tony not playing. I consider him a good friend and acquaintance. So if everybody gets together and boycotts Charlie's tournaments he might get the hint.. Just some more of my inane ramblings......mike

My name is Lora Jean Campbell My Dad, was the inspiration; now it has taken on a life of it's own. Usually, I have tried to document only the direct lines, so not all children are shown. I thought this would limit the complexity of the tree, so I put all four of my grandparents on one tree. The joke is on me. I did not expect to find so many generations, and I certainly did not expect them to inter connect. I am at a loss as to how to separate the trees without undue time and violence.
I am gratified and grateful that so many of you have sent matches and I take them all seriously. Because of the sheer number I often get behind.
Help and corrections welcome.

"When you get into the larger aircraft it becomes like a hotel, with dozens of staff supporting the plane based in a galley area down below. You have very comprehensive cooking facilities, and on larger aircraft we have looked at theatres, with spiral staircases and a Steinway grand piano. The limitations for what you can put inside a plane are pretty much the limits of physics, and even money cannot always overcome that. Even so, people are still always trying to push [the limits]. "
AAA Five Diamonds for Nemacolin Falling Rock
Nemacolin Falling Rock, a woodlands resort in the Laurel Mountains south of Pittsburgh, has been awarded AAA Five Diamond status, a designation held by fewer than 90 North American hotels and resorts.
We featured Nemacolin in our Getaways department in February/ March 2005 and, more recently, BJT contributor Nigel Moll drove a BMW M6 convertible to the resort (see page 58 of our June/July issue). "The food at Nemacolin remains excellent, and the service and surroundings are flawless," reported Moll. "It's a great place for recharging and refreshing."
The resort features an 18-hole golf course that hosts the PGA Tour 84 Lumber Classic as well as a 3,900-foot-long hard runway (but no fuel).
