I would say Black Books, but the third season featured a definite drop in quality that would probably carry over.

If you are looking for free premium wordpress themes, this article is for you. If you run a WordPress blog then you will have noticed that the default themes that come with it are not really that spectacular. If you are running a blog for fun, then that is fine, how it looks is not really important. However, if you are looking to sell products or services, or make money from advertising then you really need to use some of the free premium WordPress themes available on the internet.
These days, the free premium WordPress themes look very professional, and with so many available, they may not be widely used, especially if the theme is niche specific. Making your site look professional is very important, as first impressions last. How many times do you land on a page looking to buy something and you instantly think, this site doesn't look very good? Probably a few times a year based on research. So you want a theme that has that professional wow factor, and really impresses potential customers. There are plenty of free premium WordPress themes at http://www.wparchive.com
Giving customers confidence, also instills a certain amount of trust in people, and this makes them more likely to buy from your site, or click one of your ads, and if you are using Adsense, then that is revenue.
Installing free premium WordPress themes is easy. All you need to do is find the theme that you like on the internet, and download it. The theme should be in Zip format, so all you need to do then is upload it directly into WordPress, and it will automatically install itself. You may want to install a few themes to see which one looks the best, but once you have selected one, then remove the others as they can take up quite a lot of disk space. Once you have the theme installed, then you can start adding widgets, and making any changes that make it unique.

You can help alert USDA about crop progress and unusual crop conditions DURING the growing seasons. Instead of waiting until the crop is in, you can give us an early warning of crop situations that may need our attention for possible assistance.
How much time is expected of me?
How can I become a weekly crop reporter?
How do I report each week?
When does this program begin and end?
Can I see an example of the Internet reporting system?
How am I notified of when the Internet system is available for my report?
When is my weekly report expected?
How about crops that I don't know anything about?
How often should I respond during the growing season?
I am responsible for a few counties. Are you asking for a separate report for each one?
Do I get any credit for doing this?
What are the publications that come from this effort?
I know of people in other organizations
who are already reporting for my county. Why should I report too?
How much time is expected of me?
Ten – fifteen minutes each week. We recruit reporters who already
have crop knowledge as a result of their normal work routines; therefore,
the time involved to help with this project should be very minimal.
How can I become a weekly crop reporter?
If you can help New England agriculture with this popular weekly crop
update, you will be given your own Username and Password to our Crop
Reporting website. To become a Crop reporter or to receive more information,
call us at 1-800-642-9571 or send an Email message to
firstname.lastname@example.com with the subject as "Crop Progress."
How do I report each week?
If you are knowledgeable about crops across your county AND have
Internet/Fax access, you qualify to be a weekly crop reporter. It only
takes about 10-15 minutes each week to alert USDA of the crop situation
in your county using the Internet/Fax report form.
When does this program begin and end?
In New England, this USDA report is issued weekly during the growing
season from the first week in May to the last week in November. It contains
the six-state averages of crop progress and conditions for field crops,
fruits, and vegetables in New England. Comments from reporters add a
local flavor to the publication.
Can I see an example of the Internet reporting system?
Yes. See http://cpcsweb.nass.usda.gov/.
(We are using New Hampshire for demonstration.)
Use State = NH, Username = user1111, Password = pass1111, Survey = Crop
[The username and password are case sensitive; you must use all small
How am I notified of when the Internet system is available for my report?
Reporters will be sent an Email notice every Thursday or Friday
when the system is available. A reminder Email is also sent first thing
Monday morning.
When is my weekly report expected?
We ask that reports be completed by 10 am on Monday. A Monday report
is preferred to include any significant weekend weather events, but
an earlier report will gladly be used if Monday is not practical for
you that week.
How about crops that I don't know anything about?
Reporters can skip crops or other items for which they have no opinion.
How often should I respond during the growing season?
This is a voluntary survey to collect information on crop progress
and conditions. For reliable survey results across the growing season,
we ask that reporters submit responses nearly every week so changes
can be measured from week to week.
I am responsible for a few counties. Are you asking for a separate report
for each one?
At the beginning of the season, reporters can choose to report for
one county or a group of counties, depending on the geographical area
for which you are knowledgeable. Only one report is needed to cover
a group of counties unless you prefer to submit a separate report for
each county.
Do I get any credit for doing this?
Comments from reporters are published in the New England release
describing special situations in your county. This provides visibility
for your organization because your name and organization will be seen,
along with your comments, by about 500 subscribers across New England.
As a reporter, you will also receive the weekly summary via Email.
What are the publications that come from this effort?
The New England report is issued Monday evening after 4 pm. An Email
is sent at that time as a PDF file. In addition, the report is loaded
to the Internet click

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WZZM) - Since 1964, Michigan Instruments has been making the LifeStat. Founder Clare Barcalow called it the CPR of the future.
"The idea came around that a machine could do it much more accurately and over a longer period of time and be able to perform CPR in instances where manual CPR can't be done very effectively."
Joe Baldwin of Michigan Instruments enjoys telling the history of how this Grand Rapids company evolved over the past 45 years. The Lifestat is sold to hospitals and ambulance services in 24 states and over 20 countries.
According to the American Heart Association, there is an 8% survival rate for manual CPR. Michigan Instruments has seen as high as 38% for the Lifestat. The reason is because it has the ability to sustain CPR indefinitely and consistently without getting fatigued.
"Typically the average human or manual CPR rescuer can not do quality CPR for a long period of time, maybe one or two minutes effectively," said Baldwin.
The record for the Lifstat is 17 hours and the patient lived.
Michigan Instruments also manufactures the Test Lung which is a human lung simulation device used in teaching respiratory therapy and the testing of ventilators.

Elizabeth Drennen tells the story of how she became addicted to prescription pain medication and then heroin to Addiction Prevention Coalition student leaders
More than a thousand people gathered Thrusday afternoon at Lawson State Community College in Birmingham to hear a speech by President Barack Obama. He used the visit to promote ideas he says will help working families and to tout proposed new rules on payday lenders. While the remarks were about policy, for many people, the fact they heard a sitting president speak in Birmingham represented a once in a lifetime opportunity.
Though the Alabama Legislature was on Spring Break this week a ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court has state lawmakers concerned. On Wednesday a divided Supreme Court said a lower court must review whether Alabama's Republican-led legislature relied too heavily on race when it redrew the state's voting districts in 2012.
Heroin related deaths more than doubled last year in Jefferson county. All this week, WBHM has explored Alabama's heroin problem. With a rise in use of the drug, police report more heroin arrests, and judges say their dockets are filling up with cases. According to Birmingham's drug court, eight out of ten cases are for heroin. We conclude our series with a look at the courts. Ashley Cleek followed one addict into the criminal justice system to see what works and what doesn't.
ArcLight Stories features live storytelling from right here in Birmingham. No notes, no outlines. Just great storytellers sharing great (true) stories. In partnership with WBHM, ArcLight Stories is a now an ongoing radio show! The next broadcast is today at 2pm and 7pm. Listen to previous episodes by clicking above.
With heroin use increasing in Alabama the last few years, public health leaders are looking for ways to reduce heroin overdose deaths. Naloxone could be part of it. The drug, more commonly known as Narcan, can reverse the effects of a heroin overdose if administered to a user in time. It's not addictive nor does it produce a high. State Representative Allen Treadaway (R-Morris) refers to it as a miracle drug. Treadaway is also a Birmingham police captain and he's introduced HB 208 in the Alabama legislature to expand access to Naloxone.
UAB President Ray Watts faces calls for his resignation after documents released this week suggest university leaders considered announcing the end of the school's football, bowling and rifle programs months earlier than they did. The documents come from a public relations firm that was devising a strategy for handling the controversial decision and mentions a task list for an announcement in September. But Watts has said the decision to kill the football program was not made until shortly before the announcement was actually made in December. We talk about the situation with Alabama Media Group columnist John Archibald.
As heroin use increases in North Central Alabama, law enforcement is taking a hard look at how to stop the supply, and handle heroin dealers and users. But beyond arresting dealers, they're also often the first on the scene of heroin overdoses. Les Lovoy reports on how law enforcement officials are juggling drug enforcement and saving lives.
President Barack Obama visits Birmingham Thursday. He'll speak at Lawson State Community College about payday lending. It's a big business in Alabama -- one of the states with the most payday lenders per capita.
Thursday night, the band Wye Oak, Brooklyn composer William Brittelle, and the Alabama Symphony Orchestra collaborate on innovative orchestral re-imaginings of Wye Oak songs. WBHM's Michael Krall spoke with band member Andy Stack about the concert and the band's sound...
In Part One of WBHM's five-part series, we heard about how and why heroin use is on the rise in Alabama. Now in Part Two, education reporter Dan Carsen looks at how some young people are trying to slow its spread in their schools. The story starts with a confession in a small office just outside downtown Birmingham.
Heroin use has exploded in Alabama, with heroin-related deaths more than doubling in Jefferson County last year. All this week, WBHM explores the heroin problem in our series Heroin in Alabama. We'll hear what schools, law enforcement, the courts, and others are doing to fight heroin abuse and curb overdose deaths. To start, a look at the scope of the problem and how we got to here.

The United States Social Security Death Index (SSDI) is often one of the main starting points for online free genealogy research. The SSDI is used by the Social Security Administration for coordinating benefits. The Social Security Act was signed in 1935, and the Social Security Board started building the infrastructure for distributing benefits. Registration began in 1936 and 30 million individuals were registered and cards distributed by 1937. These cards were distributed through employers, who had employees fill out the information, and then returned the cards to the government. The SSDI provides the names of over 70 million individuals whose deaths have been reported to the Social Security Administration. The information that you will find in the SSDI includes: an individual's Social Security Number, birth date, death date, where the last benefit was sent, and the original application state. The SSDI can be a great starting point for your ancestry search.

CANTON St. Lawrence County legislators are increasing this years budget for the correctional division of the Sheriffs Department by $160,000 to pay for unanticipated costs, including the boarding out of prisoners because of a crowded jail.
This is the projection to try to get us through the rest of the year, Sheriff Kevin M. Wells said. Im not seeing relief in sight. The relief would come from the criminal justice system picking up pace.
The jails capacity is 186 inmates, but not every bed may be used on any given day because of classifications and gender. Some inmates are not appropriate for general housing and are in a special unit. Some do not get along with each other. Some have to be separated from others for their own safety.
We have numerous co-defendants in jail that have to be separated, Mr. Wells said. Its a complicated place to run.
This years budget was based on inmate numbers averaging around 145 on any one day, but they have instead been about 175 for the last month and a half, Mr. Wells said.
County officials last year also included in the budget $175,000 in revenue that has been gained in the past by housing prisoners from other counties whose own jails were overcrowded.
If were full, we cant board prisoners in, County Administrator Karen M. St. Hilaire said.
On Tuesday, the jail had 182 inmates, including six that were boarded out, said Daniel L. Dominie, jail administrator.
In addition to paying boarding costs for inmates sent to other facilities, the additional money approved in committee by legislators will go toward increased costs for food and medical bills.
Due to fiscal problems, the county budgeted only $500,000 in its contingency account for this year. Before Sheriff Wellss request, the county had spent $100,000 of the contingency. It could spend much of the rest on additional costs for indigent defense, Ms. St. Hilaire said.
Were close, she said. We have to watch that very carefully.
The county might consider alternatives to incarceration, Public Defender Stephen D. Button said.
Mr. Button hopes to dovetail a recent $13,700 Aid to Defense grant from the state Division of Criminal Justice Services that defrays the cost of mandated representation for indigent defendants into a larger application that could resurrect electronic home monitoring. That could reduce the strain on an already overcrowded jail and offer a more lenient approach for appropriate candidates, Mr. Button said.
Electronic home monitoring does not, however, have the support of Probation Director Edward G. Gauthier.
My opposition is pretty well known. My staff isnt interested, he said. The reality is, I believe we get people out of jail who should be out of jail.
People on electronic home monitoring still need to be supervised, and no one gains when defendants on the program do not cooperate and are taken back to jail, Mr. Gauthier said.
Mr. Gauthier suggested grant money might be found to reimburse certified alcohol counselors who do assessments of defendants in the jail rather than in county clinics, where payment generally comes from the clients themselves or from Medicaid.
It has the potential to start the evaluation quicker, he said.

PORTLAND, Maine (News Center) -- May is Lyme DiseaseAwareness Month. The timing is no concidence. The disease is transmitted to humans through ticks, and this is the start of ticks' most active season.
In most cases, if caught early, Lyme can be successfully treated with antibiotics. But some patients experience lingering symptoms that can last for months, years, even a lifetime. So the best defense against the disease is prevention.
There are many things you can do to prevent tick bites. For a detailed list: http://www.cdc.gov/features/lymedisease/

(NEWS CENTER) -- In what has to be a record for the current members of the legislature, both the House and Senate voted on and sent to governor -- and he signed -- a bill to temporarily block any person or entity from getting their hands on the names of people in Maine who have permits to carry a concealed weapon.
It all happened in a matter of hours.
We talk with NEWS CENTER analysts Phil Harriman and Ethan Strimling about the politics involved and why this vote happened as quickly as it did.

FORT DRUM Before the 10th Combat Aviation Brigade can begin its mission in Afghanistan, it has to leave the north country from Wheeler-Sack Army Airfield, with help from the airfields ground crews.
The airfield has supported deployment flights for about 343,000 soldiers since the expansion of a runway from 5,000 feet to 10,000 feet in August 1998 and the opening of the rapid deployment center in February 1999. Before the expansion, deploying soldiers had to travel to Griffiss Air Force Base, Rome.
Build me two miles of highway and I can drive two miles, said A. Joe White, chief of the airfields aviation division. Build me two miles of runway, and I can go anywhere in the world.
The wind swept the tarmac near the center Friday morning as a Boeing 767 operated by North American Airlines touched down on a nearby runway. At the time of the landing, about 60 brigade soldiers could be seen lounging in the center, with hundreds more expected to be bused in within the next few hours to catch the flight.
In addition to the flight, the brigades deployment could be noted by the transfer of its Black Hawk, Apache and Chinook helicopters to installations such as Fort Campbell, Ky., and Fort Bragg, N.C.
Back on the runway, a stair truck and a pair of 10,000-gallon fuel trucks lined up to perform work on the plane. However, a scan of the plane indicated the temperature near its back left wheels was too high, prompting a quick call to the posts Fire Department.
Firefighters arriving a few minutes later found no safety issues during an inspection with the pilot, and allowed the planes passengers to get off. The flight had a few hundred Army, Air Force and Navy members arriving from Norfolk, Va., who would get back on the flight that would be heading to Afghanistan with the brigades soldiers.
With the scene cleared, the fuel truck pulled up and crew members Jim Cassoni and Dennis McIlroy started loading fuel onto the plane, a process that took about half an hour. Mr. White said all but one of his 53-person staff were retired military personnel.
The plane was scheduled to sit for a few hours before continuing its journey overseas.
Each year, the airfield handles about 190 flights moving large groups of soldiers overseas and to domestic training areas such as the Joint Readiness Training Center, Fort Polk, La., or the National Training Center, Fort Irwin, Calif. Friday morning marked the airfields 113th such flight for the year.
With the airfield moving about 24,500 passengers a year, Mr. White said, it has processed about 15,000 passengers thus far in 2013.
Sometimes its just back to back, Mr. White said. It ebbs and flows.
One facet of the airfields training resources used by the outgoing brigade was its simulator room. The $250,000 system features several monitors that showed a re-creation of the airfields vehicles and layout, down to the painted lines near the hangars.
For brigade soldiers responsible for air traffic work, the simulator is a way to get training time even when the airfields tower has reduced traffic load.
This will be harder work in most cases than when they deploy, Mr. White said. By shifting weather and lighting, the simulator can be programmed to create a full range of scenarios.
Your heart rate will go up; your blood pressure will go up, Mr. White said. You will get immersed as if you are out there.
The deployment flight preparation work is but one part of the airfields mission. Other abilities of the airfield include monitoring air and range traffic, both for the post and for much of the north country, and serving as a holding area for aircraft during emergencies.
Mr. White said the airfield benefited from its resources and lack of outside encroachment.
We still have the ability to expand where others dont, he said.
The resources of the airfield will be expanded this year, with $95 million in funding to build a new aircraft maintenance hangar and control tower and expand a few standing hangars.
In discussion for the fiscal year 2014 defense budget is a $4.7 million expansion of the hangar used for unmanned MQ-9 Predator drones used by the 174th Attack Wing, Syracuse.

AECOM, winning the project as EDAW, architect César Pelli and Italian landscape designers Land have together provided a stunning new gateway to one of Europe's most stylish cities. Linked to Milan's main public transport hub (Garibaldi Railway station), the square is a key part of one of Italy's largest regeneration projects.

If a leftist expressed new-age spirituality and uttered the Zen idea that he was one with the Universe, I'd certainly believe him. What else could explain liberals' seeming inability to know where their body ends and someone else's begins?
For instance, while abortion is justified with the battle cry "My body, my choice!" it is in reality a matter of what will happen to a body within the chooser's body. Yet another example of this leftist tendency to confuse bodies as much as choices is the ObamaCare contraception mandate.
Liberals will often justify the mandate by saying that employers have no right to tell an employee what to do with his body. Of course, this is ridiculous on the face of it because it confuses the right to do a certain thing with one's body with the non-existent right to have someone else pay for it. Why, we might as well say that in states where marijuana is legal, an employer is dictating what people must do with their bodies if he doesn't buy a toking hire a bong. (If the rationale can be applied to recreational sex, why not recreational drugs?) Yet the contraception controversy does involve the matter of telling people what to do with their bodies. But those put-upon citizens aren't employees. They're employers.
After all, a business is built through work; money derived from a business is made through work. And work is something you do with your body. Thus, if the government tells a business owner what he must provide through his business and money, isn't it, in a sense, telling him what he must do with his body?

Mario Lopez to Host the 2013 North American Hairstyling Awards (NAHA)
The Professional Beauty Association (PBA), producer of the North American Hairstyling Awards (NAHA), just announced that Mario Lopez—renowned actor, author, entertainment journalist, producer and father—will host of the 2013 NAHA Awards Ceremony.
In addition, Lopez will receive the 2013 PBA Beautiful Humanitarian Award during the Ceremony. The award will honor his work with a variety of charitable initiatives. Lopez actively raises awareness and funds for many causes that support the positive and healthy development of children and young adults. For instance, his work as an Alumni Ambassador of Fitness with the Boys & Girls Clubs of America (BGCA), and also with the organization's BE GREAT campaign, has continually helped shed light on the major issues affecting today's young people, including the importance of graduating from high school and that of maintaining a healthy lifestyle. In addition to his work with BGCA, Lopez is a passionate supporter of other organizations, including Children's Hospital Los Angeles, Community Youth Athletic Center of Chula Vista, Jameson's Army, and Padres Contra el Cancer.
"It is my honor to be able to host the 2013 North American Hairstyling Awards, and I am very humbled to receive the Professional Beauty Association's Beautiful Humanitarian Award," states Lopex. "Beauty professionals help others to look and feel their best, and I applaud their work and talents."
A man of many trades, Lopez is passionate about staying active and engaged with his fans and followers. He is the host of the nationally syndicated daily show EXTRA. Concurrently, Lopez continues his hosting duties on Fox's hit music series The X Factor. He is also the host of the soon-to-be nationwide Clear Channel radio show On with Mario Lopez. Lopez has also taken his love for sports, specifically boxing, to the next level as a recurring commentator on HBO Boxing, and recently produced a documentary based on the sport.
Lopez is also a New York Times bestselling author, thanks to the success of his healthy eating guides, Extra Lean and Extra Lean Family. Additionally, Lopez penned Mario Lopez's Knockout Fitness, a bestseller offering readers a look into his impressive workout regime, and Mud Tacos, a children's book he co-authored with his sister Marissa. As a follow-up to Mud Tacos, Lopez released Mario & Baby Gia, a children's book he wrote for his daughter, Gia.
Lopez, who is a part of most every red carpet, mega-event in the entertainment industry and has co-hosted such high-profile affairs as the Miss America pageant, will no doubt lend his experience, charm and wit to this year's pinnacle PBA event.

Although FITC reagents have been more often used to prepare fluoresceinated bioconjugates, the low stability of FITC bioconjugates makes some researchers use amine-reactive succinimidyl esters of carboxyfluorescein (commonly called FAM) in bioconjugations. FAM reagents give carboxamides that are more resistant to hydrolysis. We have shown that FAM reagents require less stringent reaction conditions and give better conjugation yields, and the resulted conjugates have superior stability. We noted that FITC labeled peptides tend to deteriorate more quickly than the corresponding FAM conjugates.

Why do you think it will be better this time?
It seems to be a good release this time...wait and see
Why do you think it will be better this time?
My sites: Linux Home Networking - Linux Quick Fix Notebook
answer is easy: IT can't be worse than the 2009.0 was .
installed it yesterday : only two major failures:
VLC in full screen under KDE leaves the task bar visible all the time.
My brother multifunction is not working due to either incompatibility of brother drivers with cups 1.4.1 or mandriva fault in tcsh...of course at brother nobody gives an answer apart from go and follow drivers page instructions, and in Mandriva it doesn't seem to move too much...
wait & see.
but system is faster , and works pretty well!
lets see what happends when the first flow of corrections come.

I havent tried mandriva since it was called mandrake (lol). How is it all going?
My Website: http://ttgale.com

My Server Specs: AMD Athlon X2 3800+, 2gb DDR2 RAM, 1.5TB HDD, Ubuntu 9.10
My Gaming PC: Intel Core 2 Duo 2.93ghz, 4gb DDR2 RAM, 9800GTX+
well I must say that for me, this time, it is all good, first update corrected my printer problem and there is left my vlc display to solve, apparently a known problem that is going to be solved in next VLC release.
System is still very responsive, the free release doesn't need much to add on, once it is installed: select all package source and then you can install flash, proprietary nvidia driversand much ore, direct from control center, skype has to be forced to be installed but work with no problems here. A loooong looong road has been done since mandrake
Virtualbox works nicely as well (I need windows to update regularly my tomtom gps )
For me it seems that 2010.0 is as good as 2009.0 was bad, as simple as that!
I can easily see this as the perfect beginer distro...If you want to try it you can go with the ONE version that is running live from CD:
all available here: http://www2.mandriva.com/downloads/
really worth having a look at!
Yeah I might definitely have a look. I have really been hooked on Debian based OS's for a few years now (particularly with Ubuntu) but would love to see how the old Mandriva is. I have a spare PC i might boot with it.
Does anyone actually use the paid version?

yes lots of people use the powerpack.
it is the free + proprietary/comercial drivers and softwares added so it is even easier for a beginer: all is inside since first minute.
but for a test i'd go either for free or one (the one includes some proprietary drivers).
Mandriva is like most distro's, there are slight improvements in most cases, but sometimes there is more, sometimes there is more skipped. So it feels broken.
Just depends on the window manager, kde4 fails quite frequently, because of daily updates, but openbox works really well, and requires next to nothing, depending on what you prefer.
I would emphasise a secondary wm that you get familiar with.
As this is an ongoing concern, it's always getting better.
Regards Glenn
Wish somebody would convert the many linux progs for floppies into something easily usable on a usb floppy or a memory stick.

The Common Core program has been under harsh criticism since its implementation in New York state. Most recently, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo acknowledged the concerns about the program, and blamed its rough start on the state Board of Regents.
The governor has promised to form an independent coalition to review how the Common Core can be harnessed so students can reap all the benefits from higher standards of learning. On Thursday, Assemblyman Kenneth D. Blankenbush and other assembly members unveiled the Achieving Pupil Preparedness and Launching Excellence plan, which is aimed at reforming the implementation of Common Core in the state.
We are in the very beginning stages of putting everything weve learned together, Mr. Blankenbush said. The governor said he will be appointing his own committee. When he does we want to be prepared to present our ideas to them.
The plan was developed using testimony and comments provided by educators, school administrators, parents and students at 11 public hearings held across the state, one of which was hosted by Mr. Blankenbush in Lowville.
There were mixed tones at the Lowville event. Some people called for the complete elimination of the Common Core, but the majority of people said they understood the idea to raise the standards of learning, but it needs to be done in a better way, Mr. Blankenbush said.
The plan offers measures to help with funding and help educators prepare for the new standards in a way that wont negatively affect students.
The plan is organized to extend participation in the Common Core implementation to educators, parents and students, instead of dictating how the program should be run. Eight recommendations for Common Core in the plan include: evaluate state assessments and curriculum; provide funding equity; prepare teachers with career development and training for common core; allow teacher involvement in approving age and developmentally appropriate material; restrict the use of student data; place priority on a students individual needs, especially in the case of special needs students, requiring that their individualized education plan supersedes any Common Core standards; create a vocational and technical high school diploma; and revamp the state Education Department with checks and balances from the Legislature and the governor.
A lot of people would agree that there should have been a way to implement this where kids who hadnt been educated since the first grade in Common Core curriculum wouldnt be shocked with this new program, Mr. Blankenbush said. We should really put a freeze on this till it can be straightened out and properly put in place.
In addition to addressing the problems of Common Core, many of the policy initiatives target other areas of concern in the states educational system.
Mr. Blankenbush proposed that though the blame shouldnt rest entirely with the Board of Regents, the board itself should be evaluated.
We ought to take a look at the state Education Department and how the Board of Regents is appointed. Shouldnt we be concerned that out of 20 members, there are only three that have experience in the classroom? Mr. Blankenbush said.
A copy of the recommendations is available online at http://wdt.me/b38msc.
Mr. Blankenbush said he will announce within the next weeks when the full report will be presented to area school superintendents and educators.

Finally, Obama said something I agree with. President Barack Obama was roundly criticized for his long, disjointed and uninspiring speech on the economy two weeks ago. But he said something in his conclusion that I'm sure most conservatives would agree with: "Your vote will finally determine the path that we take as a nation — not just tomorrow, but for years to come."
Food stamp use explodes. Remember when Bill Clinton bragged that his welfare reform was taking Americans off the dole? The Administration of Barack Obama sure has reversed that. At the end of fiscal 2008, the food stamp program cost taxpayers $34.6 billion. Today, the tab has more than doubled, to $78 billion, with one in seven Americans on the dole. And believe it or not, the Department of Agriculture is spending millions of dollars on an advertising program to get even more people signed up. They've even got a $500 million bounty to reward States for finding more participants.
Meanwhile, families' net worth plummets. A report by the Federal Reserve says that the average American family's net worth dropped almost 40 percent between 2007 and 2010. It went from a high of $126,400 in 2007 to just $77,300 in 2010 — a level last seen in 1992. Most of the decline was attributed to the sharp drop in housing values. Family income is also falling, from an average of $49,600 in 2007 to just $45,800 in 2010. Does anyone want to bet that things have gotten better in the past 18 months?
How much will this matter in November? What do Colorado, Florida, Michigan, Missouri, Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio, Virginia and Wisconsin have in common? First, they're all considered toss-up States in the Presidential election. Whoever wins most of these electoral votes will undoubtedly win the White House. But second, they are all States where voters approved an amendment to the Constitution declaring that marriage is the union of one man and one woman.

The spirits world is buzzing over the announcement from Lost Spirits and resident agitator Bryan Davis that they have created a chemical reactor that can duplicate the aging process of up to 20 years in oak barrels in less than a week. I've been a fan of their spirits for a while, starting with their whiskeys for which they would never tell the age (only saying "less than 1 year") and more recently their potent and complex rums. What I never knew is that I had been drinking the test runs of this reactor process. And enjoying them immensely.
I had scheduled a trip to San Francisco, which is not far from the distillery, and started chatting with Bryan's partner Joanne about visiting while I was there. She was a bit cryptic about not being able to promise to accommodate me, but she said she'd try. Then two weeks before I got there the announcement came out so I thought there was no chance. Until I got a call from her early on a Sunday afternoon asking if I could run down in a few hours. How could I say no?
Their distillery and small house/office are surrounded by artichoke fields in a rural area. The still is outdoors and made up of a few artfully crafted components famously including a steam vent in the shape of an ornate dragon's head. The kiln where they smoked their whiskey malts over peat fires is nearby under a pagoda. From the outside it looks more like the classic eccentric suburban neighbor's place than anything else. Inside the house there is a beautiful tiny bar next to the seemingly unused kitchen and living room set up for discussion and demonstration. Through an unmarked door is their secret laboratory. Or so I guessed. Frankly I have no clue and there was no evidence of the kind of B-movie foundry I was expecting to see.
I have to say that Bryan and Joanne are two of the most genuinely friendly people I've ever met. With virtually no sleep for weeks and insane demands on their time that will only get crazier, they were terrific hosts. Truly enthusiastic to chat, show off their creations and take care of us. I've never felt more welcome visiting a distillery and they made more time for the occasion than I would have expected even if they hadn't just shocked the distilling community.
After a quick tour of the still outside, we went in to the bar where Bryan poured generous glasses of their Colonial Style Rum which is the only one of their commercially produced rums I hadn't tasted yet. It is magnificent, and it's sadly nearly impossible to find (even their own tiny stock is already committed to a conference). Then we took our drinks to the living room where Bryan gave us the presentation he delivered to announce his invention. Not many people can make molecular science entertaining, but Bryan can. The rum helped. And afterwards they encouraged us to taste the other three rums and hang out for a bit. I was far too polite to refuse.
While the presentation was fascinating and the science seemed sound to my untrained mind, the important thing is the results. I thought their series of whiskeys were all amazing, but often more interesting than delicious (although a few of the releases were both). The four rums are all fantastic, with the Colonial Style my favorite by far. They share a depth of flavor that I would have sworn could only come from patient aging in large barrels if I hadn't been told in detail how they all undergo this short, intense process instead.
So what does the future hold for them and their reactor? They already have a long waiting list of small distilleries hoping to purchase reactors. Bigger distilling corporations are already sniffing around. No doubt there will be attempts to knock them off, and/or set up legal hurdles, and/or buy them out. But if they persevere and can reliably produce reactors and train people to use them they might have created the first real innovation in aging spirits since they were first put into wooden barrels. I can't wait to see what's next for them and I'll be rooting for them to succeed.
"To make a barrel, it's not very difficult, but it's so many steps. If you make one mistake, at the end, it's not a barrel. It's a box."
-Francis Durand, Master Cooper for Tonnellerie Radoux
2014 has been a rough year for Bourbon. First we hear that there is an impending Bourbon shortage. Then we hear that the shortage is in large part due to the fact that the vast majority of all Bourbon brands are actually made by very few distilleries and are simply fancy labels on other people's whiskey. All this amid rumblings of American oak barrels disappearing faster than they can be made and a worldwide surge in demand has collectors hoarding their favorite bottles.
These revelations weren't surprising to those of us who work in the industry. And most of us don't necessarily agree with much of the overreaction to them. But it does make me eager to point something out: there are small distilleries popping up all over the USA making good Bourbon from scratch, and as the biggest producers run dry these little guys will be getting better. I've been a big fan of Watershed Bourbon since part-owner Dave Rigo came to New York to help introduce it to this new market. Oola's Waitsburg Bourbon is another new-to-NYC whiskey that I'm thrilled to have in the catalog I oversee. RoughStock's Montana Bourbon is third excellent riff on this classic. None of these brands have the big buzz yet, but they're all excellent and the lack of hype makes them all great value buys. For now…
So it's the perfect time to get out of your brand comfort zone and start exploring the new wave of Bourbons. Find your new favorite while you ween off your old stand-by and you'll weather the storm until the next "crisis".
In light of New York Cider Week which just passed, it's time for me to discuss cider. Not only was it the original everyman's drink of the new world (long forgotten thanks in part to immigration, industrialization and prohibition) but it was also a crucial component of early American exportation trade. And today, it's one of the most misunderstood drinks around. So many people look at hard cider as solely a beer substitute, all too often suggested to women with the demeaning thought that girls can't handle beer. But in truth it's much closer to apple wine than apple beer, especially when made in one of the many traditional styles from around the world. The Basque version is nearly still and has so little residual sugar that it's sharply tart. In Normandy the cider is sparkling like Champagne and has a beautiful sweetness balanced by yeast like the sparkling wine, too. And farmhouses from rural England through their colonies in the New World produced gorgeous ciders from a wide variety of apples which produced a range of flavors and textures that very much suggest the range of wine styles.
In the last several years- and in conjunction with the movements to go back to traditional farming techniques and to revive heirloom produce- cideries have been popping up all over the USA to rekindle the drink that was such an important part of American history. Some have carefully cultivated nearly-extinct varietals to faithfully recreate old recipes. Others have taken to foraging forests and abandoned homesteads to find forgotten fruit that has been allowed to propagate naturally and creates wild flavors once fermented. And like wine, some take a "natural" approach favoring minimal manipulation and native yeasts while others use specific yeast strains and occasional additions of fresh juice to control the texture, carbonation and residual sugar content. With cider lists popping up on menus all over New York City, it's a great time to learn to love this perfect expression of the apple which was at one time even more American than apple pie.
It's always been a thrill for me to "discover" a new drink that blows my mind. Especially when it's in a category that isn't already super saturated with choices. So I have a couple of new obsessions I'm giddy over:
1) Don Ciccio & Figli Finocchietto- Francesco Amodeo (who grew up on the Amalfi Coast of Italy but makes his liqueurs in Washington, DC) makes an entire line of traditional liqueurs. His family made these same liqueurs for well over 100 years and he has the old recipe book (which he couldn't get until the family considered him serious enough). I'm specifically crazy about the Finocchietto, neutral spirits infused with hand-picked wild fennel, fennel seeds, aniseeds, and dill with just enough sugar to raise the viscosity. It has an amazing fennel flavor, closer to the grassy fresh bulbs than the more licorice-like seeds. But fans of anything on the anise scale should love this.
2) Lost Spirits Distillery Navy Strength Rum- Bryan Alexander Davis and Joanne Haruta made some spectacular tiny run whiskeys until a mishap caused them to bulldoze their outdoor still and start over from scratch. Now their focus is rum and this one is a stunner. 68% alcohol by volume and hugely flavorful, but so tasty you can (almost) sip it straight. He takes a page out of ancient rum distilling and uses dunder to start fermentation which creates serious esters that add unusual depth of flavor. I'll sip mine on the rocks but it's a fantastic option for any cocktail calling for dark rum.
Yes I'm selling them at Mouth, but this isn't a sales pitch. It's a nod to a couple of the inspiring new spirits that are suddenly propagating all over the country. Getting to be among the first in New York to taste spirits like these makes me realize how lucky I am to do what I do.
It's been a while since I've posted here thanks to the amount of work I've put into my new job. So it's with great excitement that I announce that the Mouth Indie Spirits + Wine Gallery is open at 192 Water Street in the DUMBO neighborhood in Brooklyn, and you can find our selection of spirits & wine on our website at Mouth.com. We have a terrific range of spirits from small American craft distilleries, plus a small but fun group of wines featuring some amazing natural winemakers and a couple of great versions of more standard wines. I think you'll see that the world of independent production in the United States has reached a point where the quality & flavors are fantastic, while the inventiveness of some of the more maverick producers will entertain as well as delight. And all signs point to more and better things to come.
While the focus of the project I'm working on for Mouth is definitely spirits, we are putting together a terrific small wine selection. And it's been a great excuse for me to focus on American wineries that are pushing the envelope with techniques and flavors rather than playing it safe and making the kinds of wines that make me turn to the old world all too often.
Yountville Sémillon made by Dirty & Rowdy Family Winery is a perfect example. Sémillon is rarely grown in the US. And this one was fermented both on it's skins for 2 weeks before splitting into a steel tank and into a mix of American and French oak casks, and without the skins in a "concrete egg". The wines are blended just before bottling to produce a cloudy and bone-dry white wine with an earthy acidity. It's crisp but fascinating and an amazing display of the kind of wine making going on in select pockets of California today.
While I am the first to admit that the conglomeration of brands into huge distilling corporations hasn't been as disastrous as some people say, I still love when an independent distiller makes a name for itself in the middle of a traditional distilling hub that has all been bought out. For example Town Branch Bourbon from the folks at Kentucky Ales in Lexington, KY. They're the only independent distillery on the famous Kentucky Bourbon Trail & their Bourbon is classically fantastic without being painfully expensive. A very neat trick to pull off in an era when whiskey is going extreme in both flavor & price. I have a feeling I'll be recommending this bottle a lot once Mouth Spirits is fully-operational.
It's only day 3 of my new job and I've already got to sample some very fun spirits. Today's tasting featuring the Leatherbee Distillers line was a nice highlight. Especially their Malort: a craft version of Chicago's infamously challenging dive bar cheap shot of choice. It's spicy, herbal and generally odd good fun. I'd drink it as a digestivo but I could see folks trying it in a bunch of cocktails. And it will definitely be thrown down in shots at some of the decidedly non-divey bars which can their hands on some bottles.

Buzz: Could The Next Charity Hockey Game Be In NY…..Central Park?
At USA Today, Randy Miller writes that there is already talk of a sequel to the Operation Hat Trick game from Saturday in Atlantic City and that game would take place in New York City.
Todd Fedoruk, who helped organize the game in AC, said that he liked the idea of putting the game on in Central Park.
There are two rinks in Central Park, Wollman Rink near 59th street and Lasker Rink by Central Park North. Lasker has two rinks and one that is dedicated to hockey.
The Flyers and Penguins have both practiced at Lasker Rink which would likely be the site of the game.
Lasker Rink is also the home to Ice Hockey In Harlem, the program that the Rangers are very involved with. The NHL and their law firm Proskauer Rose are also sponsors of Ice Hockey in Harlem.

Whenever my toddler gets very upset or throws a fit, he has a tendency to rake his fingernails very hard across his face, often drawing blood. Currently one side of his face is covered with scratches and scabs from this behavior. How can we encourage him to stop?
The first, most obvious idea is to simply trim his nails very short, but I'm worried that might just displace his frustration and cause him to start pulling out hair or something similar.

UBS announces successful completion of public tender offer
UBS has repurchased certain outstanding tier 2 and senior bonds for approximately CHF 1.9 billion.
UBS has repurchased certain outstanding tier 2 and senior bonds for approximately CHF 1.9
Zurich/Basel, 18 December 2013 – UBS announces the successful completion of the cash tender offer, announced on 2 December 2013, to repurchase certain Swiss franc, euro, pound sterling or Italian lira securities. The aggregate principal amount of repurchased securities is EUR 1.6 billion, equivalent to CHF 1.9 billion. This is in line with the announced maximum offer amount of up to EUR 1.75 billion, equivalent to approximately CHF 2.15 billion. Securities with an aggregate principal amount equivalent to approximately CHF 2.2 billion were tendered.
This transaction is consistent with our proactive approach to reducing our balance sheet and future interest expense while maintaining our strong liquidity, funding and capital position.
As per our 2 December 2013 announcement, the transaction will reduce our BIS Basel III phase-in total capital ratio by approximately 0.4%. UBS incurred a small loss of around CHF 75 million on this transaction, which we expect to recover within approximately one year through the reduction in future interest expense. The repurchase of the tier 2 bonds does not affect our industry-leading Common Equity Tier 1 ratio, and the small loss from the transaction has an insignificant effect on it.
UBS Investment Bank acted as Lead Dealer Manager.

Recently, I have received questions from members of the public regarding an upcoming project to make improvements at Ashley Pond Park.
This is a project that has been in the county's capital improvement program for more than two years, however, with so many projects going on inside the county, it's easy to understand that some residents may not have heard about all of the various aspects of the project, or why it is so desperately needed. I'd like to try and explain the project and elaborate a bit on how we got to where we are today.
If you've been to Ashley Pond lately, you've probably noticed the serious issues with water quality that have emerged. The pond is in the early stages of eutrophication, which stated simply means that the pond is dying due to lack of oxygen.
There were likely many contributing factors, including overabundant fish population, inadequate recirculation of water, and pollutants conveyed by the collection of storm water runoff. Regardless of the cause, the only way to fix the problem at this point is to drain, dredge and rebuild the pond.

We said: "The sun's gone, it is dusk, the full moon tops that giant spruce." We said: "Our lips launch clouds, the snow's cold crunch is brittle." "In dusk's rinsed blue and moon's rinsed glacial light this forest hour," we said, "has the vast dream-stillness of our shadows." "That delicate swift stipple of wild paws on snow, the ferns asleep, the moss, the sleeping birch and ash, the sleep of chipmunks and the starlings' sleep!" we said, hushed as the haze of frost. James Daly has had both poetry and prose published in magazines, and has worked in steel mills, taught school, directed and acte
Some time ago Mr. Louis Adamic contributed to The Saturday Review of Literature a curious article called "What the Proletariat Reads"—curious because in spite of its title and subtitle, "Conclusions Based on a Year's Study of Hundreds ofWorkers Throughout the United States," it had nothing whatever to do with what the proletariat reads. In fact, it was all about what the proletariat does not read, and since there are many books the proletariat does not read, has never heard of and does not give a damn about, it is obvious that Mr.
Public opinion, which once upon a time was only a symbolic figure in cartoons, has become a valuable commercial property. The banners and buttons of World War propaganda showed, as one writer has explained, "the possibilities of molding public opinion toward an objective. Its success convinced leaders how vital it is to gauge public reaction to ideas or products; how necessary it is to get public support." And big business, having learned the technique of selling its products, is now trying to sell itself.
Whitehall has just witnessed an unusual meeting between British and German naval officers. With the utmost good nature they have fixed the tonnage with which each of them shall enter the next world war. For every hundred tons that the British launch as targets for German shells and torpedoes, the Germans shall have thirty-five tons, charged with all the instruments of destruction that civilization has devised.
Mr. Upton Sinclair, in his open letter to President Roosevelt published in a recent issue of The New Republic, again raises a question that has received much consideration in various quarters—the possibility of instituting a program of self-help for the unemployed. Dramatized by Mr.
This is a bad season for those who still believe that international agreements, among nations constituted as at present, can prevent war. Let us look for a moment at the Italian-Ethiopian situation as an example. Italy and Ethiopia are both members in good standing of the League of Nations. As such they have made a solemn covenant to settle their disputes peaceably and to join in sanctions against any nation that declines to submit to such peaceable adjustment.
The President took a thorough beating from the House of Representatives when by a large majority it rejected his earnest plea to pass the bill abolishing public-utility holding companies. His only hope in the matter is now that the Senate will favor this clause—though if it does so, the margin can hardly be more than two or three votes—and that while the difference is being adjusted in conference an investigation of utility lobbying will bring to time the recalcitrant Democrats in the House.
Usual crowd was moving up and down the streets. The leafless trees in the city square, with a faith not given to human beings, remembered spring. But spring in Iowa comes and then it doesn't. One day it is warm and the next day it is cold. The trees pay no attention to this. The crowds get used to it. People walked around the square. A small crowd, a sort of overflow, came out of the cigar store across from the square and looked around for the loafer's sun. At one corner of the square was a public toilet and here an uneven stream of farmers and townsfolk came and went.

Braum is what I expect from a support. Has a set role and fulfills it (defensive support). Much like how Blitz is all about hooks/catching people, Janna is a peel support, Leona is heavy engage in teamfights...
CertainlyT sure knows how to make stupidly overloaded champion kits (every one of his champs needed multiple nerfs from release just to make them balanced). But Thresh is going to need adjustments to his kit, not numbers, to balance him (see Darius and Zed ultimate changes, another 2 CertainlyT champs who couldn't be fixed by numbers adjustment alone...)
They're going to need to cut off some of his unneeded CC to make him balanced (seriously, knocking people up/away with Flay isn't enough, you still have to add a SLOW to it?). Lantern is a get out of jail free card for someone out of position, why does it NEED a shield?
Thresh is just really a stupidly overloaded champ. Too many strengths, too few weaknesses~~
Edit: How I'd balance Thresh's lantern? Add counterplay to it. Currently blocking it with champions or wards is unreliable. Make it be able to be attacked by enemies, like wards. Two or three hits and it returns to him. So he can't throw it out and leave it there until his ally finally clicks it. He needs to time it well to make a save, and now his lantern isn't quite as stupidly OP anymore.
