TRENTON, N.J. (January 18, 2013)--New Jersey Republican Gov. Chris Christie says it is "reprehensible" for the National Rifle Association to run an ad that pulls President Barack Obama's daughters into the gun-control debate.
Christie on Thursday criticized the ad, which accused the president of being a hypocrite for allowing Secret Service agents to protect his two daughters, but not embracing the NRA's call for armed guards at all schools.
Christie said children of public figures should be off-limits to political attacks.
The Republican governor also sided with the Democratic president when Mr. Obama went to New Jersey to tour storm damaged areas in October.
Christie's praise of the president six days before the election drew sharp criticism from some Republicans members, who accused Christie of helping to tip a close election to Mr. Obama.

Knitter's Review
November 11, 2010
My, what a clean bunch you are! According to last week's poll, nearly half of you wash your handknitted socks after just one wearing—and another 37 percent of you wash those socks after no more than three wearings.
Which means there's a lot of washing going on. This week we revisit four perennial woolwash favorites: Eucalan, Kookaburra, Soak, and Unicorn Fibre Wash. What are you using?

Semis against Djokovic
Roger reached his eighth consecutive US Open semi-final by beating Frenchman Jo-Wilfried Tsonga 6-4, 6-3, 6-3 last night in a match delayed about 90 minutes by rain in the first set. He will now meet world number one, Novak Djokovic, in Saturday's semi-final.
Roger's main two weapons in the night session were his serve (72 percent of first serves in) and his game at the net. "I played great," he said. "I'm very happy with the way I'm playing, the way I'm moving and I'm enjoying myself on the court."
Roger showed a terrific match, even thoug at 2-2 in the third set, Tsonga got a chance to break. But Roger saved that when Tsonga sent a lob wide. From there, Roger was at his best, broking in the next-to-last game when Tsonga double-faulted.
Now our champ faces top-seeded Novak Djokovic in the US Open semi-finals, the fourth straight year they will face off in New York. Roger holds a 3-1 edge. In their most recent head-to-head meeting, in this year's French Open semi-finals, Roger ended Djokovic's 43-match winning streak.

Good morning and welcome to Summit Up, the world's only daily column that's thinking of new ways to get the kiddos to gobble up their veggies.
MILLIONS OF SUMMIT UP READERS: But, our kids will only eat chicken nuggets. We've tried the whole hiding-vegetables-in-other-things, like cauliflower in the mashed potatoes, but somehow they always know. We swear, they've got hidden cameras in the kitchen.
SUMMIT UP: Trust us, our tried-and-true plan will work.
Through numerous, grueling months of testing, we've found that all you have to do is switch out normal dinners for bizarre foods for a while, like those that Andrew Zimmern eats on the Travel Channel. No chicken tonight honey, instead, it's fermented shrimp paste with fruit bat. How about a lunch of mangrove worms alongside some steamed sheep's head. Or, if that's not to your liking, you can wait for supper: Cow heel's soup followed by iguana curry with dumplings.
After a few weeks of mantis prawn and ship worms, kids will be begging for a plate of organic kale and wild-caught salmon.
Speaking of things people don't want, we've got a Scum Alert!! Scum Alert!! from the folks over at High Country Conservation Center in Frisco:
"While we really appreciate the efforts to compost leaves instead of landfilling them, the Conservation Center is not a dumping ground for leaves. We received 15 bags of leaves over the weekend, effectively taking up our entire backyard. And now we have to ask Summit County government to make a special trip to pick up all the leaves and pay for them to be composted. If you have recycling or composting questions, call us at 668-5703, but please don't dump your unwanted stuff in our backyard!"
And there you have it. We out.

Serving Cooper and southern Howard Counties, the Neighbors Helping Neighbors food pantry continues to help local families in need. According to the pantry, over 100 community families are struggling to feed their children as summer vacation enters its midway point.
Though the Concerned Citizens for the Black Community does have a generous feeding program during this time of year – when schools are retired from normal sessions – many local children, along with their families, are unable to afford a nutritious meal. The traditional school-year provides breakfast and lunch programs, but during the summer, those meals become the responsibility of parents and guardians.
"We get food from the Central Missouri Food Bank and from personal donations that come in," said Dianna Singer, NHN Board Secretary.
The pantry, privately funded, depends on community assistance and generosity.
"We're always looking for volunteers," said Singer.
A recent United States Postal Service's Stamp Out Hunger drive took in almost 6,500 pounds of food and staples and more than $700 in cash. The drive is an annual event and was the USPS' 20th thus far.
A typical school-year sees NHN serve more than 200 families – approximately 600 people – per month. Of that count, over 150 of those are children. A ministerial alliance of area churches routinely participates in the stocking of supplies and the raising of funds.
"In our NHN group, we have about 70 people that we can call on to help. Of those 70, about 25 or 30 are consistent. This is volunteer-oriented, and we'll take any help we can get," said Singer.
If a work schedule will not allow you to volunteer, NHN reminds readers that monetary and staple donations are all tax-deductible. Donations of money can be mailed directly to the pantry's distribution center, or funds can be directly withdrawn from a donor's checking account, if they wish.
Canned goods, along with other non-perishables are sought. Diapers, multivitamins and soap are examples of other non-food items that are needed.
Neighbors Helping Neighbors is located at 412 East High Street in Boonville.
The distribution center will be open to qualified families starting the first full week of the month on the 1st Tuesday 7:30 – 10:30 a.m., 2nd Thursday 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. & 3rd Saturday 1:30 – 3:30 p.m. of each month. For more information call 660-537-9750 or visit NHN website www.NHNFP.com.

STOCKTON - A 42-year-old woman who volunteered at Stockton Christian Academy has been charged with having sexual contact with a 15-year-old student.
Lisa Ayala, a volunteer in the school kitchen, was charged with a lewd and lascivious act with a child after the incident was reported by an anonymous source to the school principal.
The teenage boy, whose identity remains confidential, has known Ayala for about three years, according to a Stockton police search warrant.
The teen told investigators the inappropriate contact began with text messages last year, court documents say. He said Ayala later took him to a cemetery, where Ayala had sexual contact with the boy in her car.
Ayala denied the phone conversations but did admit to kissing the minor and inappropriate touching in the car, investigators said. Ayala is scheduled for further arraignment Monday in Stockton.

It was a morning of delays and frustration for Masters travelers as Augusta Regional Airport was evacuated for nearly two and a half hours Monday.
A bomb scare over an abandoned box shut down the airport for hours, creating a traveling headache.
Watching planes fly away was like torture to the dozens of people stuck on Doug Barnard Parkway, most of them Masters visitors trying to get home.
"I'm frustrated," said Hallie Gibbs of Jefferson City, Missouri. "I'd like to be able to get in there and get going."
The fire department and bomb squad were the only ones allowed inside the airport for nearly two and a half hours.
Around 8:00 Monday morning, U.S. Marshal Steve Smith found a black box with a padlock on it just outside the front doors.
When no one claimed it, he took action.
"By protocol we evacuated the airport, isolated that part of the terminal and called the bomb squad," Smith said.
In just a few minutes going down the line of people waiting to get into the airport, News 12 met people from New Mexico, Missouri, and even Australia. They weren't worried about missing a flight in Augusta, but they were worried about connecting flights.
"The other option we have is driving to Atlanta, which is a direct flight," said Richard Buerrieri of Bristol, Connecticut.
The mystery box turned out to be safe.
It was simply luggage one man wasn't allowed to check...so he left it outside.
"You just never know anymore, so better safe than sorry," airport marketing director Diane Johnston said.
At 10:30, travelers were allowed into the airport, but they had to put up with unusually long lines.
"They're being very, very accommodating here," said Nita Beach of West Palm Beach, Florida. "They're doing the best they can."
And despite it all, it seems that Augusta's welcome left many in a good mood.
"I'd rather have been at the Masters and have a delay, then not be at the Masters at all," Buerrieri said.
About 5 flights out of Augusta were delayed because of the scare.
As for the traveler who left the box, he flew to Charlotte, where the Transportation Safety Administration met him for some questioning.
At the most, he faces a possible civil federal fine.
Airport officials say that this incident never affected general aviation.
Private planes were able to take off and land the entire time.

January is National Radon Action Month. Residents are encouraged to take a stand to protect their families by testing their homes for an odorless, colorless, tasteless pollutant that can cause lung cancer. That pollutant, radon gas, is the second-leading cause of lung cancer in the United States and the first leading cause of lung cancer in individuals who have never smoked. EPA estimates 21,000 lung cancer deaths each year are radon-related.
Radon is a natural, tasteless, odorless, colorless, radioactive gas produced from the decay of uranium found in nearly all soils. Radon gas moves from the ground under and around your home through cracks and other holes in the foundation. Nearly one out of every 15 homes in the U.S. is estimated to have elevated radon levels. The only way to know the radon level in your home is to test.
Radon testing results in Kansas show there is a need for more testing. Present indicators are one in four houses in Kansas may have elevated levels. In some counties this rate may be higher.
Radon is the leading cause of lung cancer among nonsmokers. Given the increased potential for lung cancer the radon hazard brings, Kansans should be asking themselves, "Have we tested our home yet?" The risk of developing lung cancer increases as the concentration and length of exposure to radon increases. Many scientists believe children may run an even greater risk from radon exposure than adults, and smokers are definitely at greater risk than nonsmokers.
The Surgeon General's Office, the American Lung Association, the American Medical Association, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recognize that indoor radon constitutes a substantial health risk. They have publicly advised all homes be tested.
Simple test kits can reveal the amount of radon in any building. Those with high levels can be fixed with simple and affordable venting techniques. Some cities and counties' building codes require new homes to be built using radon-resistant techniques. Cities, such as Topeka and Manhattan, and additional cities in Kansas, are considering this modification to their building codes. Testing is critical, because it is the only way to know if a building has significant concentrations of radon.
The McPherson County Extension Office has test kits available throughout the year for $7.50 a kit. The test results from the kits are very accurate, provided the included instructions are followed properly. Test kits also can be purchased at many local hardware and builder's supply stores.
More information on Radon is available at www.kansasradonprogram.org, including a list of certified testers and radon mitigation contractors or you can call the Kansas Radon Hotline: 1-800-693-KDHE (693-5343).

Note: This appeared in the print-only TV Guide of the Marshall Independent.
According to Entertainment Weekly, �42� made Hollywood history with the highest-grossing premier of any baseball-themed movie. Which is true but almost beside the point. It�s not just about baseball, it�s about honor.
It�s about men doing the right thing at a time when it was unpopular and dangerous to do so.
It�s good for people dissatisfied with current progress towards universal equality to remember things were once a lot worse. And it�s good for those so proud of conspicuously having all the correct attitudes to remember there was a time when wearing those convictions on your sleeve carried a price.
�42� is the story of Jackie Robinson�s first season with the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1946-47, that broke the color line in baseball. The number was Robinson�s, and the only number to be retired by all of baseball.
The movie, like baseball, has a star but it�s about a team.
Branch Rickey (Harrison Ford) president and general manager of the Dodgers, wants to break the color line. Because he�s deeply offended by the stain of racism on the game he loves passionately. Because he�s been carrying the humiliation for years of not having done enough for a black man who was his friend.
And because he sees a tremendous opportunity in the huge number of black baseball fans and the chance to have first pick from an untapped reservoir of talent.
There�s an important point there. It�s good when people start to realize something is wrong, better when people realize it�s not only wrong but unprofitable.
Rickey needs just the right player, an extraordinary athlete but one who can keep his temper under the worst provocation.
He finds him in Jackie Robinson (Chadwick Boseman). Robinson plays baseball, football, basketball, and even tennis well. He�s intelligent, articulate, and high-spirited. That last characteristic having gotten him a court-martial in the Army when he refused to move to the back of a bus.
Rickey tells him he�s going to have to watch that.
"Are you looking for a Negro who is afraid to fight back?" Robinson asks.
�No,� Rickey replies, "I�m looking for a negro with guts enough not to fight back."
And it takes guts for sure. The film does a great job through a series of scenes showing the daily casual humilitation Robinson and his new bride Rachel (Nicole Beharie) have to put up with. And for a while it only gets worse, mounting in viciousness as Robinson goes through training and then takes the field with the Dodgers.
But they also have a lot of support from friends like African-American sports reporter Wendell Smith (Andre Holland) and a redneck-looking workman who approaches them, initially terrifying Rachel.
�I want to tell you something,� he says. �I want to tell you I�m behind you, a lot of us are. I figure if a man�s got the goods he ought to have a chance.�
And that�s what �42� is all about. There is no affirmative action in sports. A player has the goods or he doesn�t, and there�s no excuse for failure and no hiding ability.
Robinson had it, and once he got on the field there was no denying it.
�I do not care if the guy is yellow or black, or if he has stripes like a ****n' zebra. I'm the manager of this team, and I say he plays. What's more, I say he can make us all rich. And if any of you cannot use the money, I will see that you are all traded," says Leo �Nice guys finish last� Durocher (Christopher Meloni).
And therein lies the point about discrimination, and honor.
Any man of honor will be offended by discrimination. Because if you don�t give a man a chance, you�re never going to be sure you�ve deserved your accomplishments, or got them because somebody else was denied the chance.
�If he can take my job, he�s entitled to it,� says shortstop Pee Wee Reese (Lucas Black).
Reese has something to prove by standing up for Robinson publicly in front of his Southern relatives. This is brilliant shown in a scene where a young boy who is starting to pick up on the detestable behavior of the grownups around him – until Reese walks over to Robinson and puts his arm around him before a game.
Many who stood up for Robinson were Southerners, and some of the worst bigots were Yankees, and thank y�all most kindly for making that point.
�42� makes all these points and more, but doesn�t hit you over the head with them. If there�s anything at all to be regretted it�s that you don�t see more about some extraordinary people, but it might just inspire you to learn more about Rachel Isum Robinson, Reese, and how people like Dixie Walker (Ryan Merriman) eventually changed and grew.
Highly recommended.

Rapper DMX Bankrupt; Owes $1.24 Million in Child Support
From WSJ's Bankruptcy Beat, one-time star rapper DMX, has filed for a personal bankruptcy, listing about $1.24 million on back child support among his $1 million to $10 million in debt.
The rapper DMX filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, court records show, days after his arrest on suspicion of driving under the influence.
Filed Monday in the Manhattan bankruptcy court, the Chapter 11 petition of Earl Simmons, aka DMX, lists less than $50,000 in assets and $1 million to $10 million in debt. The rapper said in court papers that he filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, which is available to both businesses and consumers, "to enable me to reorganize my financial affairs."
The New York native and current South Carolina resident owes $1.24 million in child support and more than $21,000 on an auto lease, among other obligations. His principal asset is a 50% stake in property in Mount Kisco, N.Y.

"Ordered these for our 10 year anniversary dinner. The orange is perfect & look the same as it does in the photo. Love it & so did our guests."
"very please with the finished product! customer support was very helpful! would definatly use this site again for future needs!"
"These cards arrived before the estimated date of delivery and were secured along with the envelopes in shrink wrap. All of the invites and envelops were in perfect condition. I was impressed with the paper quality. These invites have the look and feel of being "green" as they appear to almost be from recycled stock (with out the random color strands you would find in other stock) My only complaint would be that I could not get these printed without the company's logo on the back. I felt having the logo and contact info was a bit cheap looking. Overall I love them and have already placed my 2nd order for another party I am throwing!"
"I ordered this invitation for my parents' anniversary party and could not be more pleased with it. It turned out fantastic, and we've already gotten quite a few compliments on them!"
"I was looking for an anniversary invite for my parents and the choices were limited, but I loved this card. It turned out to be just perfect for what I wanted. The paper quality was great and I was very happy with the end result."

pretty happy with all that! really glad we got
dempsey at the end. was saying all day that 7m for him is a bargin! shocked liverpool wouldnt pay more than 4m. glad we nipped in & got him for 6m.
he can play a few position too.
lloris comes highly rated. to be honest iv rarely seen him play. looks a good shot stopper but dodgy at crosses.
dembele is highly rated too. great technically, can dribble foward, skillful & good on the ball.
vertoghan is a solid CB who can play at LB too.
not bad going foward either! good on the ball.
adebayor. well id expect similar to last season.
hard working, good hold up play, creates assists, scores a few but not the best of finishers.
id settle for him.
sigurdson- good on the ball, good movement & a great long shot. good signing.
so as i said, all good signings if not great.
shame we didnt get moutinho. but who knows, maybe we will be back in for him in january.
sales- well pretty pleased with all the players we got rid of apart from-
king- legend! world class CB! but retiring is the right thing.
niko- not that upset he has gone but is a handy squad player.
dos santos-still feel he is hugely under rated & was never given a fair crack!
modric-world class! but too good for us. left us with good memories & 17m+ profit!
even thou i rate vdv, im pleased we sold him for 10m. thats a good price for him considering he is in late 20s. he is a good player who did well for us.
but he is not fit enough for the prem, is knackered after 60mins, comes far too deep, regularly does his hamstring, is akward to fit in the team & upsets the balance of the team.
good luck rafa.
not a signing but really pleased dawson is still here! well worth keeping!
so apart from missing out on moutinho, we had a good transfer window. im a bit more optimistic than i was after the wba game.
oh & shame we didnt get rid of jenas,gomes,hudd & bentley!Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
Not quite sure to make of it all.
I don't see that Modric/VdV have been replaced in way of quality - but I suppose it's now down to what AVB can get out of their replacements and the system he plays.
Dempsey seems an odd one. Where will he fit? I would assume that Ade/Daffy start as the lone striker, with Bale/Sig/Lemon as the support, with Dembele and a.n. other (Parker/Sandro) and then the back four. So is he just to be an alternative for who - Sigurdsson? An odd buy - especially at 29 as where is Levy's re-sale value in that? He doesn't look to have been bought as a 'striker' as AVB said he didn't want any more.
Which leads to Kane - I hope that Daffy/Ade stay fit across all the competitions - or maybe AVB did think after all that Dempsey could play their role in some competitions - I wonder what the policy will be for the youngsters? Obviously Kane won't feature.
The homegrown 8 look ok - and most will still 'feature' - Bale, Lemon, Naughton(?),Walker, Livermore(?), Daffy, Caulker(?) and Parker (did I read that Sigurdsson is also classed as homegrown?) - leaving Daws, T'Hudd, Jenas, Bentley as players who seem 'out of favour'?
Odd that AVB didn't even appear to look at Two Saints before he sold him.
The other slight oddity to me was that we bought Lloris, but didn't move on any 'aged' keeper, but did sell Button (and had already go rid of Alnwick). I thought Button was quite 'fancied' - obviously not.
Sit back and see time I suppose. If AVB is serious in his comment about challenging for the title, then we need to start piling on the points. That hopefully starts today.

i am really annoyed we look like a weaker team yet again we have a bloated midfield we let kane out on loan i hope to god he has a recall in the loan agreement otherwise if Daffy or Ade get injured we are stuffed.
I would have liked to see a CB come in even on loan just as cover now Kaboul is injured.
Now the worse part is selling Modders and VDV two playmaking game changers and who replaces them? Clint Dempsey for a an absurd fee of 6 mill i actually found myself screaming at sky sports yesterday so annoyed.
We let the big one get away in Moutinho BIG mistake and short sighted by Levy not the first time he has done that i cant remember who it was we were on the verge of signing last window and he wouldn't pay the money.
Lets hope AVB has a master plan or Levy will blame him for failure and AVB will be down the job centre.
On a lighter note anyone agree that deadline day just wasn't the same without old Arry hanging out his car window.

I think I might be ready to call it a night and accept Harry Kane was the last minute shocker story. If another one comes out now I'll be really mad with the sleep fairy...
- 1 Reply to not_blonde_really
I don't rate Kane...too lightweight for a centre-forward...we need a true big man up front...de'll do for now, but he's not the answer.
Dempsey? Well at least this side of the water will know our team exists (they [ the US based pundits] still refer to the top 4 as being Arse, Man U, 'pool and the chavs (City will get a mention because they are champions)...other than that they love to big up the Yank players...and now we have two!
My hope now is that the new gel quickly with the old and we get on with a cracking campaign this season...my fear is...

For the past 36 years, Max Johnson, 56, has assembled Arctic travel packages for the Great Canadian Travel Co. (www.greatcanadiantravel.com), including one for viewing the Northern Lights -- aurora borealis. Here's an edited chat with him.
Where are you?
I'm looking out the window at Blachford Lake Lodge, in the Northwest Territories.
And you have the Northern Lights.
Exactly. The peak season is mid-January to mid-April. It's possibly the most spectacular sight you can imagine. "Awe-inspiring" is overrated as a phrase, but there's a feeling when you stand outside and the entire night sky is dancing with greens and purples, and there's a sort of hiss that comes across the landscape. This is quite extraordinary.
I'm not a physicist, but I guess it's static electricity jumping and bouncing in the sky. The Northern Lights are static electricity -- solar flares create these light spectacles as they hit Earth's atmosphere.
How long are the nights right now?
About 20 hours. It starts getting dark at 3 p.m.; the Northern Lights normally come out around 9.
What do people do the rest of the day?
There's snowshoeing, snowmobiling, fishing, reading, talking to others ... complete relaxation. When Prince William and Kate toured Canada and California, they stopped at Blachford. They wanted a day away from everything. The lodge accommodates 15 to 20 people. Fifty percent of the people who come for the lights are from the U.S.; of the rest, half are Canadian, half are European.
-- John Bordsen, Charlotte (N.C.) Observer

The shuffling won't stop until school is back in sesson.
"We have an unusually large number of retirements so we're trying not to overstaff and yet have the right number of staff to match the students that arrive," said Jerry Swartz, the president of the Lansing Schools Education Association.
74 teachers and 19 administrators in the Lansing School District took the state-offered retirement package. This has left a hold that the district says won't get filled.
"Those will be replaced based on student need. If we lose a projected 500 students like we expect then we won't need to replace all 74," said Stephen Serkaian, the spokesman for the Lansing School District.
The teacher shuffle will continue until all the students who plan on attending are enrolled. The district set up its mobile enrollment center again this year. But, the fluidity within the district doesn't help.
"Sometimes you find families catching up at the last minute and they may still be in the transition period right now, trying to figure out do I start at school A and move to school B or do I go ahead and make the leap to school B," said Swartz.
One change happening with fewer anticipated students and a greater number of retirees --- three principals will be doing double duty.
"Three of our principals will be doubling up and assigned two building to save roughly $300,000. We'll see how it goes," said Serkaian. "They understand every dollar is necessary in order to teach our kids and keep the money in the classroom where it belongs."
The six schools that will be a part of the of the shared school system are: Lyons, Attwood, Forest View, Dwight Rich, Wexford and Woodcreek.
Serkaian said the principals are excited and ready for the challenge and the next phase is to create a strong support system for these principals.
Staffing is still being hammered out and parents won't know exactly how many students will be in class with their children but these are adjustments the district says will happen within week one. Meanwhile, it says there is sufficient staffing for the start of school.
The Lansing School District has a mobile enrollment center making its rounds this week.
Wednesday, September 1 --
8 a.m. - 12 p.m., Gier Community Center, 2400 Hall Street;
1 p.m. - 5 p.m., Lansing Police Department South Precinct, 3400 S. Cedar St.,
Thursday, September 2 --
8 a.m. - 5 p.m. Ingham County Health Department, 5303 S. Cedar St.
(Vaccinations will also be available)

Editor's note: This is the third and final installment of a three-part series. Visit www.vaildaily.com to read the first two. Have you ever spent weeks of planning, days of prepping and hours of actually cooking Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner, only to see your work product consumed in a meal measured in minutes? Even a simple weekday dinner involves a disproportionate amount of time to prepare versus time to eat. Now imagine the time required for guest chef John Besh and Allie's Cabin Executive Chef Kirk Weems' teams of chefs and cooks to design, procure product, prep, cook and plate their four-course dinner plus hors d'oeuvres for 74. Don't forget that Besh's food had to be shipped from New Orleans! Weems and I put on our thinking toques and came up with a conservative estimate of 140 man hours, or 8,400 minutes. To dine? Approximately 160 minutes, and that's from tasting the first hors d'oeuvre to departing the table. If you figure each course is actually consumed within 10 minutes, diners spend only 40 minutes eating the dinner. Eight thousand four hundred minutes of work, 40 minutes of eating. Think of that next time you go to a big event, including those your loved ones cook for the holidays!
Two teams became one as Weems' potato-leek soup amuse-bouche was plated. Across from me, I watched three pairs of hands expertly working in tight quarters, each plating an element. Weems' finishing touch was a generous spoonful of osetra caviar on top of each small dollop of creamed leeks. Pale green leeks, creamy white soup and shiny black caviar blended beautifully. The sight, smell and taste of the amuse-bouche were certain to prime diners' palates for what was to follow. Allie's last contribution was a four-element salad of seared scallops, heirloom spinach, Pommery mustard-bacon vinaigrette and crispy shallots. Like a Las Vegas card dealer, Besh dealt plates until every available inch of counter and shelf space was covered. Additional space was made on tray stands. My nerves were a little on edge, since the thought of knocking over a tray full of plated food is a recurring nightmare of mine.Chefs Besh, Brian Landry and Erick Loos and Patrick Berrigan worked side by side with the Allie's team building the salad. Earlier, Weems fried the shallots. The smell had been intoxicating. Now with the aromas of the seared scallops filling the air, it was all I could do not to taste a handful of crispy shallots as I walked around topping each plate. My willpower saw me through!
The responsibility for the courses now shifted to Besh and his team. Duckling cassoulet was their opening act. Nothing shouts wintertime country French dining like cassoulet! Small, 6-ounce French copper pots on loan from Beano's Cabin made perfect rustic bowls for the dish. With the rondo of cassoulet at one end of the line and all of the other elements neatly laid out, the chefs were at the ready. Fine-dining banquets predate Henry Ford's automobile assembly line invention. Perhaps he got his idea from observing the plating assembly line in a restaurant kitchen, where fast and precise work is required. Chefs passed the small pots of cassoulet down the line, each placing an element of the dish - preserved garlic, heirloom vegetables and three slices of seared Chappapeela Farms Louisiana duck breasts (Besh insists the ducks go "quack, y'all"). There also was a foam, but I know you'll forgive me that I can't tell you what it was. No one seems to remember! The cassoulet was a meal in itself. Weems placed the pots on the shelves running down the center of the counter. I stood with Landry to garnish the pots with a sprinkling of green, place them on plates with Besh-autographed underliners and check that each pot handle was perfectly positioned at the server's 2 o'clock. As expediter (expo), Landry's eyes were the last ones in the kitchen to pass over the dishes before the servers whisked them away. Experienced servers, particularly career European wait staff, are keenly aware of the importance of presenting a dish according to the expo's directions. Sight is usually the first sense engaged and helps the olfactory system prepare for that first bite. So it has to look good to do justice to those who toiled hours for the few minutes the dish is enjoyed. Each moment counts. Hence, positioning of plated food - meat on the left or right or pot handle just so - is important.As with each course, the moment the last plate disappeared from one end of the counter the other end was a hotbed of preparation for the next course: slow-cooked Wagyu beef with Perigord truffle jus and lobster mac and cheese. By now, the chefs were feeling comfortable with my still-nascent skills, or else they just desperately needed an extra hand. I like to think it's the former. A bowl of black Perigord truffles sat on the counter next to several tray stands set up for garnishing the meat with thin truffle slices. Besh stood beside me with a lemon-size truffle in one hand and truffle shaver in the other. "Ok, Suzanne, here's what you have to do." Expertly, he rapidly shaved half the truffle onto a paper-lined plate, generously garnished the beef, handed the truffle and shaver to me and disappeared. I was alone but for this precious fungus in my hand and impatient servers waiting for me. Really? A bowl of truffles, a shaver and no direct supervision? Heaven! For most of the 74 plates that swept past me, I rarely had time to look up as I quickly shaved truffles, garnished the meat and positioned the plates such that the beef was on the left and lobster mac and cheese on the right. Good. I don't think knowing that I was on my own for most of the time would have helped much. Landry joined me to shave truffles. In what seemed like an instant, the main course had been plated and served.
By this time, I would have been happy with plating gelato. Simple enough: ice cream scoop, bowl and gelato. But Besh's dark chocolate hazelnut pot de creme required nearly every available hand to assemble the dessert. Besh made quick work of swiping a spoonful of caramel sauce across each plate. Another dime-sized spot of caramel served as "glue" to hold in place the pots de creme. Clever idea, and I'm certain it made the servers happy! With a container of tiny meringue drops in hand, I carefully positioned three on each caramel "swipe." Tedious work. Others placed hazelnut chocolate pieces and roasted hazelnuts onto the caramel swipes and into the pots de creme, creating a beautiful visual effect. By the time the last dessert was served, sleighs were arriving, Besh's team was packing and Allie's staff was cleaning the kitchen. It was as though it had never happened. My dream of cooking with Besh had come true, and it was time to wake up. It would have been nice to interview him over a glass of wine after dinner, but diners were demanding his presence. More than once that weekend, Besh said to me in his kind manner, "Bless you (for helping)." Yes, John, I am blessed. Thank you for the experience.

Starting in school year 2014-15, all foods sold at school during the school day will need to meet nutrition standards. The Smart Snacks in School regulation applies to foods sold a la carte, in the school store, and vending machines. Prior to the publishing of the Smart Snacks rule, 39 States already had nutrition standards in place.
A number of tools and resources are available to help schools identify food items that meet Smart Snacks criteria. See the resources below for information about the Smart Snacks requirement, helpful tools, and ways to encourage children to make healthier snack choices that give them the nutrition they need to grow and learn.

Back in the ring Saturday night for the first time in more than 14 months, Andre Ward thought he was going to be defending his WBA super middleweight title against Edwin Rodriguez.
But in a shocking development Friday, Rodriguez did not make weight. He tipped the scales at 170 pounds -- 2 over the 168-pound limit -- meaning a title is off the table for Rodriguez even if he wins the fight.
Ward, on the other hand, will be credited with successfully defending his title if he wins and will remain champion if he loses. The 12-round bout at Citizens Business Bank Arena in Ontario (HBO) pits two unbeaten fighters -- Ward is 26-0 with 13 knockouts and Rodriguez is 24-0 with 16 KOs.
Ward also gets an extra $100,000 added to what was supposed to be a $1.9 million purse. Rodriguez, who was to be paid $1 million, is being fined $200,000 for being overweight. Half goes to Ward, the other half to the California State Athletic Commission.
Until this latest development, most of the talk about this fight was about Ward's 14-month layoff.
"They think they're catching me at the right time. They think the layoff, the injury, I'm ripe for the picking," the 29-year-old Oakland-based fighter said. "But they're going to have a rude awakening."
Ward will be coming off the longest break of his boxing career, which was triggered by Jan. 4 surgery on his right shoulder to repair a muscle that he originally tore as a 12-year-old amateur, then reinjured while training to face Kelly Pavlik.
In the meantime, Ward lost an arbitration case to free himself of promoter Dan Goossen, was stripped of his WBC title and fought off doubts about regaining the form he showed in a 10th-round TKO of Chad Dawson on Sept. 8, 2012.
The shoulder is now as strong as ever, Ward said, but there were days during rehab when he felt alone and vulnerable.
"There were no cameras, no lights, no fans around these last 14 months," he said. "It was me and my family. Grinding away, just hoping I could get back to where I was."
Along the way, he acknowledged, "You've got to be honest, there are days when things don't feel right. I've definitely had days where I wondered if I'm going to be the same."
Ward said his faith and the confidence of his long-time trainer Virgil Hunter sustained him.
"Virg always told me the shoulder is going to get healed," Ward said. "He was right."
Despite a resume that includes a 2004 Olympic gold medal and the No. 2 pound-for-pound world ranking by Ring Magazine, Ward finds himself staging "The Return" in Ontario rather than under the brighter lights of Las Vegas.
Mike Tyson told HBO that Ward's squeaky-clean "Son of God" image makes him a tougher sell to the boxing crowd.
"Andre Ward is an awesome fighter. You have to be a real fight enthusiast to appreciate him," Tyson said. "When you hear him talk he's always talking about a higher power. He believes in being a good guy.
"In order to be a good guy and be really successful, you have to beat a lot of bad guys. We live in that era ... where we always remember the bad guy. So if anybody beats these guys, he's big, too. But we still remember the bad guy."
Despite what happened on the scales, no one calls Rodriguez a bad guy. The 28-year-old from New England hoped to fight at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, but put his career on hold when his fiancee gave birth to twins that were 16 weeks premature.
Rodriguez turned pro and in 2010, according to Yahoo Sports, found himself in the gym one day sparring with Tamerlan Tsarnaev, the Boston Marathon bombing suspect who died following a shootout with police in April.
Rodriguez has fought three times since Ward last stepped into the ring.
As for Ward, he said, "It has been forever. I'm extremely hungry. When something you love is taken away from you, it does something to you."

What is the Office of the Public Fiduciary?
The Office of the Public Fiduciary was established by the 1974 legislature to serve as a "fiduciary of last resort" for individuals and decedents' estates in need of guardianship, conservatorship or public administration where there is no person or corporation qualified and willing to act in such capacity. Most of the clients of the Public Fiduciary's Office are indigent or have limited assets.
What steps should be taken before considering a referral to the Office of the Public Fiduciary?
All other possibilities for solution of the client's problems should be exhausted. This includes referral to other agencies for appropriate services.
Counseling with the client personally to mobilize resources or to help the client accept the services that are available. Often this step is sufficient; a client may accept difficult changes in his or her life if someone takes the time and effort to show that they care.
If the client appears genuinely unable to manage his/her affairs, encourage the family or close friends to accept responsibility for the client and become guardian and/or conservator if warranted.
What is expected of a person or agency after making the initial referral?
The referring person or agency must completely fill out the referral form and obtain a properly written report signed by a physician, certifying that guardianship or conservatorship is necessary. This information is required for assessment of the case and for appropriate follow-up should the Public Fiduciary be appointed. The Public Fiduciary will petition for appointment of a guardian or conservator only in those cases where there is a demonstrated need as defined by Arizona Statutes. Because one may meet the criteria for a guardianship or conservatorship does not necessarily mean that there is a demonstrated need for the creation of a guardianship or conservatorship or that a guardianship and/or conservatorship is the least restrictive measure that might be taken to meet the individual's demonstrated needs and protect the person's assets.
Is there a cost for service from the Office of the Public Fiduciary?
Yes, the Public Fiduciary has a claim against the estate of the ward, protected person, or decedent for reasonable expenses and fees incurred in the administration of the guardianship, conservatorship or decedent estate. A copy of the Court-approved Fee Schedule is attached hereto – please provide a link.
How is a referral made to the Office of the Public Fiduciary?
The Office of the Public Fiduciary offers a referral packet for those agencies and individuals who believe that the person proposed for guardianship/conservatorship meets the criteria. The referral packet is available on this website – please provide a link. An incomplete referral will be returned to the referring party.
Is a durable power of attorney for medical decisions the same as a guardian?
No; a guardian usually has more authority than an agent under a durable power of attorney. However, the proper use of a Durable Power of Attorney may prevent or delay the need for a guardian/conservator.
Can a relative or friend serve as guardian/conservator instead of the public fiduciary?
Yes, it is normative for family and/or friends to serve in this capacity. The Public Fiduciary is appointed only when there is no one else willing and capable of serving. There are also private fiduciaries that perform these services. Family and/or friends can obtain more information on how to apply as guardian/conservator by contacting the
Clerk of Superior Court, Self-Service Center
Can the Office of the Public Fiduciary be appointed if there are other family members?
The Office of the Public Fiduciary should be considered only as a last resort. When a person becomes physically or mentally incapacitated and needs a guardian or conservator, the responsibility of guardianship or conservatorship is most appropriately addressed by the family.
Does the referral of a client to the Office of the Public Fiduciary mean that the client now becomes the Office of the Public Fiduciary's responsibility?
No, the first task of the Office of the Public Fiduciary is to investigate whether a guardianship or conservatorship is necessary and whether legal standards for appointment can be met in Court. The Office of the Public Fiduciary is responsible only after appointment by a Court of competent jurisdiction.
Are Fiduciaries licensed?
Effective April 1, 1999, professional fiduciaries are not permitted to serve as a Fiduciary in the state of Arizona unless they are licensed by the Supreme Court. Licensure requirements include posting a bond, furnishing a full set of fingerprints and passing a criminal background check, taking 12 hours of initial training and passing an examination. Professional fiduciaries are required to maintain continuing education requirements. A list of professional fiduciaries that are currently registered with the Arizona Supreme Court may be obtained by writing: Private Fiduciary Program, Arizona Supreme Court, 1501 West Washington, Suite 410, Phoenix, AZ 85007-3231. All guardian and estate administrators in the Office of the Maricopa County Public Fiduciary are licensed or in training for licensure. Family members are not required to be registered with the Supreme Court in order to serve as a fiduciary for a family member.
How do I find out more about guardianships/conservatorships?
Guardianships/Conservatorships are legal creations. You may want to consult an attorney familiar with guardianships/conservatorships. Attorneys who practice in the probate area are particularly able to assist. To find an attorney suitable for consultation, contact Lawyer Referral Services at the Maricopa County Bar Association, http://maricopalawyers.org – please provide a link/ (602) 257 4434.
How do I find out more about the Indigent Burial Program?
The County Indigent Burial (CIB) Program is a creature of statute. It is designed to provide burial services for those individuals and their families who are truly indigent. For information on qualifying, contact the main office number, (602)506-5801 and ask for the Indigent Burial Department.

May 18, 2012
A new body — the Groceries Code Adjudicator — is a step nearer to being established as the Groceries Code bill is published in the House of Lords.
The Competition Commission identified a need for an Adjudicator in a 2008 study. It concluded that the market dominance of big supermarkets led to some suppliers being treated unfairly.
An Adjudicator would beef up protection for farmers and suppliers in ensuring that large retailers treat them fairly by lawfully adhering to the Groceries Code. In particular, the Adjudicator would be able to:
Business Minister Norman Lamb said: "The large supermarkets have a lot of buyer power, and with power come responsibilities. Supermarkets will still be able to secure the best deals and to pass the benefits on to consumers, but they should also treat farmers and suppliers fairly and lawfully. This means paying them on time or not being able to scrap arrangements with farmers and suppliers at the drop of a hat.
"Free and fair competition is the key to a healthy market and by preventing retailers from transferring excessive risk to their suppliers we will support investment and innovation in the supply chain. In the long-term, that's in the best interests of everyone, especially the consumer."
Agriculture Minister Jim Paice said: "The Grocery Code Adjudicator will ensure fair play in the food supply chain to make all terms fair and balanced. The food industry is vital to our economy and this Government is committed to ensuring that all sectors of it are able to thrive while providing the best value and quality for consumers."
The bill and accompanying documents can be viewed on the parliament website.

About the Book
The action-packed second book of Tera Lynn Childs's Greek mythology–based Sweet Venom trilogy is perfect for teen fans of Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson series.
Three teenage descendants of Medusa must figure out where their fate will take them. The warring factions among the gods of Olympus are coming for them, the creatures of the abyss are pushing into San Francisco, and the boys in their lives are hiding dangerous secrets.
Gretchen has fought the monsters the longest, but teaching the girls the ropes is hard. Can she rely on Grace and Greer, or even trust herself to keep them safe? Greer has pressing social commitments and little time to train her newfound powers. But her second sight won't leave her alone. Grace is worried about her brother, Thane, who has disappeared. His secrets might have to do with the heritage the triplets share.
How can the girls embrace the shadows of their legacy?
Gretchen may have known she was a descendant of Medusa long before her sisters—after all, she's spent her life fighting the monsters that escape the abyss—but that doesn't mean it will be easy to teach the other girls the ropes. Can she rely on Grace and Greer, or even trust herself to keep them safe?Greer has pressing social commitments on her plate and precious little time to train in her newfound powers. But that wretched second sight won't leave her alone, and her fabled heritage seems to be creeping into her fashionable life.
Grace has worries closer to home—like why her brother, Thane, has disappeared. He's hiding something. Could it possibly be related to the secret heritage the triplets share?
With the warring factions among the gods of Olympus coming for them, the creatures of the abyss pushing into their world, and the boys in their lives keeping secrets at every turn, the three girls must figure out where their fate will take them and how to embrace the shadows of their legacy.

The FUGE Student Leader Apprentice (SLA) program is a two-week experience for students who love camp and want to gain hands-on leadership experience in a camp environment. Students go behind the scenes at FUGE and learn valuable leadership skills within the camp ministry setting. SLA is designed for students who are about to enter or who have just completed their senior year in High School. During the first week of the program students will participate in a variety of experiences including a personality and leadership assessment, ministry sites, recreation, Bible study, development of leadership skills, prayer experiences, worship, etc…
During the second week, students will be apprenticed to a FUGE staffer and will gain hands-on camp experience. Students will serve in a variety of roles, assisting the overall camp program. The apprentice week will give students a first-hand look at camp ministry as well as prepare them for future leadership roles.
For the summer of 2016, FUGE will offer two locations for the SLA program: Belmont University in Nashville, TN and North Greenville University in Greenville, SC. While both locations will offer a similar week one experience that includes ministry sites, recreation, Bible study, worship and leadership training – each location will also offer several unique experiences.
SLA Dates at Belmont University (Nashville, TN):
Cost: $689 – (cost will include everything except for extra spending money and transportation to and from the program – all meals are included in the cost)
Dates: June 6-18, June 13-25, June 20-July 2, June 27-July 9, July 5-16, July 11-23
SLA Dates at North Greenville University (Greenville, SC):
Cost: $639 – (cost will include everything except for extra spending money and transportation to and from the program – all meals are included in the cost)
Dates: June 6-18, June 13-25, June 20-July 2, June 27-July 9, July 5-16, July 11-23
The application, Statement of Commitment, and 3 references are due by February 12th, 2016. Please scan/email them or mail them to: Sean Marie Hart (SLA) // One LifeWay Plaza // Nashville, TN // 37234-0144.
If you are selected to participate in the SLA program, you will be notified no later than March 7th by EMAIL. If selected, there are several important dates you will need to be aware of. Please make note of these dates. If selected, you will receive more specific information about these dates and requirements.
SLA taught me so much about myself, the church, and my walk with Christ. I learned how key intentionality is when it comes to my time. I learned how crucial flexibility is in my ministry. It helped me to see Christ's constant pursuit of me and that he expects the same pursuit in return. The lessons I learned at SLA have given me so many opportunities to serve and love those around me.
Walt, SLA 2012
SLA was the first place I truly understood what being a disciple of Christ meant. Over the two weeks I was shaped into a leader with a heart for growing the kingdom of God and learned what it truly means to die every day for Christ. SLA taught me to be a fully committed leader focused on God's will for my life and discipling others.
Jon, SLA 2012
I learned a lot within my first week as an SLA from how to lean on the people around me to the importance of intentionality in every relationship to what authentic community looks like. When I was paired with my staffer during week two of the program I was able to see what being a servant leader looked like in a very practical way. I was able to put what I learned in week one to action in week two. The way I live is forever different because of my time at SLA.
Payton, SLA 2013 & 2014

A Must Read - Share
The bloody and internal struggle within the GOP was blown wide open this week, with the news that Karl Rove has formed a new super-PAC, an offshoot of American Crossroads that aims to weed out Republican primary candidates it views as unpalatable and unelectable. The news, first reported in the New York Times Sunday, has hardened battle lines between grassroots conservatives and the Republican Establishment, laying bare tensions that have been brewing since Rove led the GOP's tar-and-feathering of Missouri Senate candidate Todd Akin during the 2012 election. Rove's new super-PAC,

Men At Work: How to Dress Well
The editors at Details, the men's style magazine, have a message for men who want to dress well on the job: Know your limits.
"Women's magazines are often addressing the subject of dressing for your body type," says Dan Peres, editor-in-chief. "Men need to understand that also. If you're a little bit more stout or if you're a little bit less tall, know what your limitations are."
That doesn't preclude self-expression and experimentation. Within the Details office itself, bespoke suits and jeans, tattoos and bow-ties happily co-exist. (To be sure, magazine offices are not like most workplaces.)
Business casual attire is the default at many offices, but the editors warn against adopting a personal style that leans more casual than business. "What you have to remember is it goes back to fit. So you find brands that fit you," says Eugene Tong, style director.
Below, the staff's tips for cultivating a look of one's own.
Tuck in Your Shirt
Don't wear your shirt out to hide your gut. If you've got the gut, just own it. You're not going to be any worse off with it tucked in. You'll look more put together. It's kind of like the comb-over. A comb-over tries to hide the fact that you're bald, and nobody's going to believe it for a second. — Jesse Ashlock, deputy editor
Wear Clothes that Fit
People tend to think that if they wear bigger, baggier stuff, it will hide their perceived imperfections. The truth is, in a lot of situations, if you wear something that is appropriately cut for your shape, it can actually be more slimming. –Doak Sergent, associate publisher of marketing
Go Easy on Accessories
The Johnny Depp-ification of accessorizing is dangerous. It looks amazing on him: 30 bracelets on a wrist and a couple of necklaces and scarves and all of that, but let that be his thing. I think a simple bracelet on the same wrist as a watch can be quite chic. It's the over-accessorizing that I take issue with. Scarves are fine. Scarves in a Steven Tyler kind of way: less fine. — Dan Peres, editor-in-chief
Invest in Classics
There are things that every guy should own: a black suit, a crisp, fitted white dress shirt, a great watch, an Oxford or chambray shirt, a pair of suede bucks, penny loafers, a really good pair of weathered jeans. It's very hard for any guy to look bad in those things. — Ashlock
Know Your Tailor
I have a terrific relationship with my tailor. He knows how I like to wear my clothes. I'll say, 'Can we take this a little further?' and he'll say, 'I don't think you'll be happy with that.' So whether you're tall or not as tall as you want to be, a tailor can work with you to make sure you look good in your clothes. And I don't mean the tailor at the place where you have your dry cleaning done. I mean a tailor. – Peres
Avoid a "Thing"
I don't like when people feel like they have a 'thing.' I'm 'bow tie' guy. I'm 'saddle shoe' guy. I'm 'suspender' guy. You know what I mean? I think it's nice to incorporate different flourishes periodically, but if your thing is you wear bow tie every day, that annoys me. It shouldn't, and I should probably work that through with a therapist, but it does. – Peres

How It Works:
Vitamin D, aka "the sunshine vitamin," plays an important role in helping the body absorb calcium and phosphorus, which are essential for strong bones and healthy teeth.* But vitamin D does more than just strengthen bones – new and continuing research suggests that up to 2,000 different genes are targeted by this nutrient.* Vitamin D promotes health and wellness throughout the body, including increasing calcium absorption for stronger bones, and helping support a healthy immune system.* Without enough vitamin D, the body may be working far below its potential.
Many individuals, including people with dark skin and those who get limited exposure to the sun (especially in the winter) may not be getting enough vitamin D. And even for those who do get enough sun exposure, wearing sunscreen that helps to block the sun's harmful rays can reduce the body's ability to produce vitamin D by more than 90%. Other individuals who could benefit from more vitamin D include people with a reduced ability to absorb dietary fats, those who are overweight and older adults, as the body's ability to make vitamin D declines with age.*

ok... so this should be stupid easy, but for some reason it's not going to plan.
i've got the package untarred and unzipped into the /opt/qcad directory... when i try to invoke the program from said directory by typing "qcad" i get a "No such file or directory" error message. a simple "ls" will show the file like it should be there. indeed, "file" shows it as a dynamically linked 32-bit ELF executable.
however, even typing the full path to the program produces the same no file error. if i try to invoke it in the background with an ampersand (&) i get an exit 127 upon typing "jobs". i'm not sure if that's qcad's exit status or something from jobs (no man page or info about jobs on my system).
ideally i'd like to use the (KDE) menu editor and just add an iconic link to the program... regardless, anybody have any ideas why even the full path isn't working here? i'm just not getting it...

6.3-2 Reckless Endangerment in the Second Degree -- § 53a-64
Revised to December 1, 2007
The defendant is charged [in count __] with reckless endangerment in the second degree. The statute defining this offense reads in pertinent part as follows:
a person is guilty of reckless endangerment in the second degree when (he/she) recklessly engages in conduct which creates a risk of physical injury to another person.
For you to find the defendant guilty of this charge, the state must prove the following elements beyond a reasonable doubt:
Element 1 - Acted recklessly
The first element is that the defendant acted recklessly. A person acts "recklessly" with respect to a result or circumstances when (he/she) is aware of and consciously disregards a substantial and unjustifiable risk that such result will occur or that such circumstances exist. <See Recklessness, Instruction 2.3-4>
Element 2 - Created risk of
physical injury
The second element is that the defendant's recklessness created a risk of causing physical injury to another person.1 "Physical injury" means impairment of physical condition or pain.
In summary, the state must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that 1) the defendant acted recklessly, and 2) created a risk of causing physical injury to another person.
If you unanimously find that the state
has proved beyond a reasonable doubt each of the elements of the crime of
reckless endangerment in the second degree, then you shall find the defendant
guilty. On the other hand, if you unanimously find that the state has failed to
prove beyond a reasonable doubt any of the elements, you shall then find the
defendant not guilty.
1 There has to be proof that another person was actually put at risk of physical injury. State v. Thomas, 56 Conn. App. 573, 578, cert. denied, 252 Conn. 953 (2000) (defendant shot a pistol into the ground, but there was no evidence of the presence of other people in the vicinity).
Reckless endangerment in the second degree is not a lesser included offense of assault in the first degree. State v. Fuller, 56 Conn. App. 592, 603-604, cert. denied, 252 Conn. 949, cert. denied, 531 U.S. 911, 121 S. Ct. 262, 148 L. Ed. 2d 190 (2000).
Reckless endangerment in the second
degree, General Statutes § 53a-64, and reckless driving, General Statutes §
14-222 (a), are separate offenses. "Reckless endangerment involves a risk of
physical injury, and reckless driving involves endangering the life of another
person. Reckless driving is limited to conduct solely involving the use of a
motor vehicle. Reckless endangerment is not so limited." State v. Rudd,
62 Conn. App. 702, 710 (2001).

GROHE warrants its products installed in a commercial application to be free from manufacturing defects for a period of one (1) year from the date of acquisition by original owner. Replaced products or parts are warranted only for the period remaining under the initial warranty.
This warranty is limited solely to the above and this warranty and any warranties implied by state law will apply only for the applicable warranty period specified herein. Also, GROHE will not be liable for any loss, damage, expense or incidental or consequential damages of any kind, whether based on warranty, contract or negligence and arising in connection with the sale, use or repair of the product. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of consequential damage or limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state. Unless otherwise contrary to state law governing the purchase, GROHE's liability will not exceed the contract price for the product claimed to be defective or unsuitable.
