SAN FRANCISCO—Federal authorities say a Northern California company is recalling 1,650 pounds of fresh and frozen calzones that contain egg but don't say so on the label.
The US Department of Agriculture said Friday that the calzones from Galant Food Company in San Leandro are made with an egg wash glaze.
Egg is a known allergen.
ENZO'S Italian Combo Calzones and ENZO'S Chicken Fajita Calzones were produced between July 16 and Sept. 4 and shipped to distributors, retail locations and possibly restaurants in the San Francisco Bay area.
The USDA says the problem occurred because the wrong computer was connected to the label printer.

Microloans are a sustainable way to help hard-working entrepreneurs lift themselves and others out of crushing poverty. By giving a Micro gift card this Christmas season, you can honor a loved one and provide a resource that has the potential to empower an unlimited number of people in need.
This year, you can give a meaningful gift to a loved one — and offer a helping hand to an entrepreneur in need.
World Vision Micro gift cards can be purchased at a value that you select and can be personalized for the occasion with a message and delivery method of your choice.
The recipient of the gift card can then specify the purpose of the loan and track its progress — receiving updates on the entrepreneur's advancement toward his or her business goal.
Once the loan is repaid, it will be recycled to help other hardworking entrepreneurs in the same country.
This is how World Vision Micro works. Small loans are issued to men and women who have sound business plans but lack the capital, collateral, or credit history to secure a traditional loan.
With their microloans, the entrepreneurs can start or expand their businesses — providing valuable services and employment opportunities in their communities, while generating income to care for their families.
As their businesses grow and thrive, the entrepreneurs are able to repay the loan, which is then reissued to other hardworking individuals, who can use the loan for the same purpose. Microloans are repaid at a rate of 97 percent — which means they have the potential to help an unlimited number of people.
Please pray for entrepreneurs around the world who are affected by poverty and lack the resources to start businesses, despite their talents and passions. Pray that small loans will help them to overcome the obstacles they face to achieving their dreams and caring for their families.
Give a Micro gift card to a loved one this holiday season. Choose the amount of the card, as well as the recipient, and customize it with a special message and method of delivery!
You can also fund a loan yourself for an entrepreneur of your choice. He or she can start or expand a business, and when the load is repaid, it will be recycled to help even more hardworking people in need.

Spice up a snowy day with this delicious variation on the traditional drink. A chocolate bar, real vanilla bean, and cinnamon sticks make this hot cocoa recipe extra special.
Weekdays on Nick Jr.
To get started, break the chocolate bar into small pieces. (Parents should do this part because a sharp knife may be needed.) Let your child add the chocolate bar to a pan.
Help your child measure out the milk and cup of sugar. Add to the pan.
Use a plastic spoon to scrape the sticky seeds from the vanilla bean. Add to the pan, along with the cinnamon stick.
Add a pinch of salt and place the pan on the stove. Heat the ingredients under low heat, stirring constantly with a whisk to avoid burning, until chocolate is melted. Be careful not to burn the milk. (Parents should do this part.)
While you're stirring, have your child add a cinnamon stick to each mug.
Carefully pour the chocolate mixture into each mug. Your child can add three or four miniature marshmallows to each mug before serving.

To Be Used in Conjunction With: Strength / Muscle Building / Power / Endurance Programs*
Pump-HD is our premier Pre-Workout, formulated with researched, trialed and tested ingredients designed to feed your muscles and fuel exercise performance. Combine this with an ultra strong Pre-Workout Energy System -- the end result can be explosive workouts unlike anything you may have experienced.
Pump-HD contains the tested form of Beta-Alanine, CarnoSyn, which has been shown in groundbreaking research to be the gold standard form of this compound. CarnoSyn is shown to work as a lactic acid buffer, which can help to reduce fatigue and increase exercise capacity. In short, CarnoSyn may help you to train harder and longer. In fact, research shows that a clinical dose (3.2g daily) of CarnoSyn literally builds on the dose before, and that performance can continue to increase with ongoing use. For maximum benefit from Beta-Alanine, supplement with additional CarnoSyn to the clinical dose level of 3.2g daily.
Pump-HD also includes the most researched form of Creatine and the key branched chain amino acid Leucine. To complete this Advanced Pre-Workout formula, we've added an Electrolyte matrix to help rehydrate and refresh.*

When they do have questions, they tend to ask each other first before asking me. I handle the questions they can't figure out from the text and clarify things that are fuzzy.
It's really amazing. I hope they'll leave the training confident that they can learn whatever else they need to - considering they learned Perl nearly on their own! Because I'm more into getting lots of people do Perl, I'm not worried about long-term profitability. After all, what training center would do well if they kept encouraging students to learn independently?
That said, it was a lot of work preparing the exercises, and I can't count the number of times quick thinking and familiarity with UNIX made things easier. For example,
wget -r -nc --no-parent --proxy-user=secret --proxy-pass=secret http://www.perldoc.com/perl5.6/pod/perl.html
and judicious use of ncftp's mput command (skipping the already-uploaded files) allowed me to easily make Perl's documentation available even though the server didn't have anything but perl(1). Better than manpages, actually, as these were hyperlinked! =)
tar zcvf day2.tar.gz /usr/local/training/home/
will allow me to pack up all their work so that I can use my Emacs keyboard macro to send it to their listed e-mail addresses. (I should get around to making that a defun...)
2. Proxy problems : 08:34
1. Thoughts on training : 08:34
The trainees are remarkably independent, preferring to work on the exercises on their own or in small, informal groups instead of listening to me explain the solution. My role is more of a facilitator. I point them to the documentation. I also walk back and forth looking for people who are stuck at a problem or are faced with a trivial bug they can't find and fix, and I give them small hints.
For this group, it seems very important to gain mastery of the basics first - so we'll stick with the promised coverage and we'll have plenty of exercises. That works out for them because they'll have time to gain confidence. That works out for the training company as well because they'll have an opportunity to do Advanced Perl Scripting.
It was a very good thing that I'm used to this style of teaching - embedding lessons in exercises that build on each other and involve several concepts. If I expected to lecture, I'd have been dead on the first day! With that in mind, I had a lot of fun preparing more exercises for them. I worked until one in the morning. A phonebook at my side, I came up with all sorts of phone-related exercises. I hope they take it well; they might just be sick and tired of anything that looks like work after all!
I met Dominique yesterday and we swapped notes on training. From what little I know of it, I rather like corporate training. It gives me a chance to spread the good news of UNIX. ;) That said, I like school teaching, too. Maybe I can do part-time teaching and part-time training in the future.
I'd love to hear about any questions, comments, suggestions or links that you might have. Your comments will not be posted on this website immediately, but will be e-mailed to me first. You can use this form to get in touch with me, or e-mail me at [email protected] .

HOUSTON — The A's appear to be closer to getting starting shortstop Jed Lowrie back from the disabled list than they are utility infielder Nick Punto, although neither is all that far away.
Manager Bob Melvin said that Lowrie, who has started throwing, taking batting practice and otherwise testing the broken right index finger that sidelined him, could go out on an injury rehabilitation assignment.
``We don't know when,'' Melvin said when talking about the timing of any injury rehabilitation assignment for Lowrie. ``We're not quite there yet.''
As of Tuesday, Punto was said to be the closer of the two to be heading out on a rehab assignment. But Punto still has yet to test his injured hamstring in a full-out sprint, so his rehab assignment isn't as close at hand.
``I think this is my fourth hamstring injury,'' the 36-year-old Punto said. ``I know how to handle them. You can't push them too far; they'll tell you when they're ready. The other three hammys came when I was younger, too, and that makes a difference.''
Hammel and Soto had never worked together before Tuesday, and Hammel allowed just one run in seven innings.
``He set a good, low target and tried to keep Hammel down in the zone,'' Melvin, himself a catcher in his playing days, said. ``After three innings it looked like they'd worked together before.
``It's what you'd expect of a veteran catcher.''

Hello all,
Im new on the forums, but i've been using PS3 media server for a while. I just built a new computer and I seem to be having an interesting issue with MKV videos on the PS3. As you can read from the title, my video is pulsating when played through the PS3. I'm not having any issues with buffering the video, or playing the subtitles though. The videos are between 150-500 mbs in size. I didnt have this issue before I built my new computer. I definetely have enough power in my machine and bandwidth over my network for playback.
I'm wondering if anyone else has ever had this issue, or has any idea how to fix it. I have tried rolling back versions all the way to 1.53, but that doesnt seem to have any effect ont he problem.
So here is the issue in a nutshell:
-Pixelated picture (seems to be showing at a lower quality than it should be)
-Pixels seem to be pulsing
Any suggestions or help would be great. Let me know if you need additional information!

Trail blazin'
Phase three of Marietta's River Trail bike path opened
October 5, 2013
With the snip of a ribbon, Marietta's River Trail officially grew by another mile Friday....
I would like to of attended this ceremony, must of missed seeing it mentioned in the MT. I will be talking a walk this weekend to spec it out.

Yes , good news ,now send it the other way to Devola!
6 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
exofDevola:Apparently you need to read Sept 10 MT, "Crowd for Devola trail meeting" County Commissioner David White made it clear that, if the trail project moves ahead, it would not be a county project. "Our only involvement would be if and only if the trustees would ask the county engineer for assistance," he said. And Muskingum Township Trustee Carolyn Dempsey added that no township money would be expended on the project. "We have no extra money to put toward a bike path, so no one has to worry that any of our money would go to the trail," she said. "But if we can help to locate outside grant funding or in some other way, we would be willing to do so." Kalter said it's totally up to the Devola community if they want to pursue a trail project.

Yes , click here, don't worry I can read, and I know the devola people now have other concerns now / ie drinking water than a bike trail. But someday it would be nice to have the trail extended to Devola. It is perfectly okay to wish and hope for a grant .

exofDevola.....I wasn't insinuating you were not able to read. Just merely stating the fact that an article had appeared in Sept that it would not be a county project. You put more words into my post than I wrote. But that's perfectly ok to point fingers and put words in my mouth. Sure glad you know what I thinking.

The trail is a wonderful asset to Marietta. Mr. Broughton has done quite a bit to bring the trail as near to the river as possible without costing anyone anything, except for himself.
I wish more people knew about common courtesy expected on trails. If you're rapidly coming up behind someone to pass them, it's courteous to give a shout-out of "passing on the left" just as skiers do. Especially if there's more than one person, children, people with dogs, who you're passing. And likewise if you're walking the trail (or sidewalk for that matter) two or three abreast and come upon a person traveling the opposite direction, don't force them off the trail. Try being courteous enough to stay on your own side of the trail or sidewalk. I imagine the offenders don't read these comments, but I wanted to say it anyway.

Another thing to consider is the Harmar Railroad Bridge. It either has to be a "walkway" or a bikeway. There is not enough room for both. I have encountered many bikers while walking across the bridge. Many expect you to turn sideway or lean over the railing to let them pass so they don't have to dismount from their bikes. About 50% of the bikers do dismount and walk but other rude ones can cause an accident. I have been poked in the side more that once by handlebars of a bikers who thought "there was enough" room for both of us when passing.

Click I did not mean to input you or put words in your mouth. What I should have mentioned was that I was aware there were no plans for trail to be extended , I really have hopes someday it would be. I enjoyed being able to have grown up there and it seems like an extension of the trail there would be a good thing,as there are many bike riders and walkers who might feel safer riding on a trail away from that heavily traveled road. If I offended you , that was not the intent.

That was insult not infer,, click. I'm afraid it the word apparently that irritated me.So again, mea culpa.

These trails are a waste of tax money when there are real needs that are going unfunded. Our roads and sidewalks are falling apart and we are spending MILLIONS on bike trails.
Anyone that lives in Devola that wants to ride into Marietta can do it now. There is a wide berm and a sidewalk that is hardy used that will take you anywhere you want to go.
The same can be said for the trail that already exists - it doesn't take you anywhere you couldn't have riden your bike to in the first place.

Yes stone cold you can rude your bike walk and run anywhere ,but having trails is much easier because you do not have to stop for stop signs . Stop lights , or worry too much about cars. running biking and walking trails just not something that Marietta came up with There are trails like this in several towns and states. It makes Marietta a town that is into fitness and health and hugging by some of the portly people I see. They need every chance to get out and move. I don't know about the roads and sidewalks, I thought that was taken care of by another fund budgeted specifically for that. This trail is not brand new, it has been in construction for years. I think if there was such an outcry about it , it would never have been built. I think it is an asset to the area, and promotes heart healthy activity.

Stonecold, the trail system is more about the process of traveling along the river and through natural surroundings, rather than going from point A to point B. It's the journey, not the end result.
2 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
exofDevola - you are just that - an EX of Devola. Please stop telling those that still live there what they need!
And you theory, "I think if there was such an outcry about it , it would never have been built" is shattered by the Armory project. It had all kinds of outcry against it, yet it is still being done, not finished and has no business plan.

asknot - perhaps we could build some Motorcycle paths so that riders of them don't have to be in traffic and get killed by cars cutting them off at intersections too!

Stone cold I am not a full time Devola resident but I still own property there and I use the trails whenever I am in town. I do think they are an asset to our area. I would not ride with a child on the berm to route 60, and I hope a trail is built someday in my lifetime. Since I am a part time resident I read the paper often and I do express opinions which do not have to agree with yours.

The second of three design meetings for the Montlake Playfield play area renovation is tonight from 6:30-8:30 at the Community Center.
Via Seattle Parks:
In September, Parks conducted a workshop to help gather input about this neighborhood park play area and the equipment that will be installed. At this second meeting, Parks will present the schematic designs that were developed from input and will gather additional public comments. The third and final meeting to be held in December is an opportunity for the community to see the final design, and to learn about the next steps in the project.
Parks encourages the community to come and provide input on the play equipment and design features that work best for your neighborhood.
Information and drawings from the first meeting held in September can be reviewed here.

Visual alternative to the crowded Finder windows.
Liquifile is a new file browser for Mac OS X. It replaces the file size and date columns with different size dots. Larger dots positioned more to the right in the window represent larger files sizes with a newer date. It makes it really easy to scan a window and select files in that window visually.
It also has an extremely quick file search/filter in the window that is much easier to use than Apple's slower Spotlight search. It grabs results by the file information and displays it in a tree structure that is flat and easy to scan.

Seems dead: "Unfortunately Stanza is dead. Marc Prud'hommeaux (the original and last Stanza developer at Amazon) quit in May. There will be no updates (and Amazon has not responded to requests to make Stanza open-source). "

No, it doesn't look discontinued, but the desktop version is rather hidden, it seems they have put a large emphasis on their iPhone app. Here is the link to the mac download
Seems the OS X version has been discontinued. All they offer now is an iPhone/iPad app.
While the iphone app is excellent, I find the os x app rather disappointing; its rather slow and lacking polish. Stanza does have multiple view styles, but I much prefer Tofu, which is also free. The only thing I use Stanza for is sending books to the iphone app. I hope once it goes out of beta you can still use the demo to transfer books, as I can't justify spending the $15 for that.
This is not the right program to get if you want a speedreading interface.
$15 seems very reasonable, considering the (spectacular) iPhone app is free.
It's free for now, but likely $15 when it's out of beta:
Is this really freeware?
MacUpdate says that the price is $15.

Today's letters: N.C. Legislature
Published: Sunday, June 30, 2013 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, June 28, 2013 at 6:08 p.m.
To the editor: There is one good thing that will come from the N.C. Legislatures education budget. It is going to make Mississippi look good. We have joined the race to the bottom.
Judith Johnson
Too many patients
To the editor: Dr. Roachs Monday column defined pseudologia fantastica as a personality disorder in which the patient essentially lies continuously in a self-aggrandizing fashion, often with small amounts of truth.
Also Monday, Mike Tower wrote an excellent column profiling a true patriot, and the Other Voices editorial regarding the Iranian voters described their hope for some sort of change.
In my opinion, there are too many elected patients and too few patriots, if any, running the country. Its encouraging to know there are Iranians who dont like their leadership and are willing to admit it. They are probably under surveillance, too.
Eileen Sheehan
Any backup plan?
To the editor: Your editorial Water need is bigger than boondoggle (June 19 edition) was certainly on the mark, but perhaps did not go far enough. Yes, the need of a $300,000 grant to extend city water lines to the folks saddled with poisoned wells is obvious. And yes, Raleighs apparent present attitude toward the plight of individual citizens is not helpful.
So if Raleigh does not come through, does that mean the individual homeowners will have to shell $300,000 out of already stretched pockets? They are the victims here.
One hopes our county leaders have developed a backup plan in case Raleigh turns its attention elsewhere. After all, they are the ones who routinely approve development in agricultural areas without requiring well water sampling. It is common knowledge that pesticide contamination of well water is always a possibility in such areas.
One would think the concept of leadership accountability would require the county to immediately pay for water line extensions to the residents without begging Raleigh to pay for our mistakes. Remember, our leaders have been quick to bail out developers who have started building without determining if there is enough available groundwater.

Oprah Waiting for Lohan to Get Out of Rehab
Published: Saturday, July 13, 2013 at 9:06 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, July 13, 2013 at 9:06 a.m.
LOS ANGELES | When Lindsay Lohan gets out of rehab this summer, Oprah Winfrey will be waiting to talk to her.
Winfrey's cable channel, OWN, said Friday that Winfrey is getting an "exclusive" interview with Lohan that will tape and air in August.
In May, Lohan checked into a Southern California rehab center for a 90-day stay, part of a plea deal in a misdemeanor case filed after a car accident. She's expected to finish rehab around the end of July.
OWN says it also plans an eight-part documentary series with Lohan, to air in 2014.
The 27-year-old Lohan, whose credits include "The Parent Trap" and "Liz & Dick," has struggled with legal and other woes. OWN and Winfrey have scored ratings with other newsworthy celebrity interviews, including Lance Armstrong and Rihanna.

Protestors took to the streets in Augusta Tuesday morning on the 40th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision. (WRDW-TV)
News 12 This Morning / Tuesday, Jan. 22, 2013
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- Tuesday marks the 40th anniversary of the Rove v. Wade Supreme Court decision, and some groups are still not happy with the case and what they say it means.
Protesters began gathering outside of the Planned Parenthood in downtown Augusta just after 5 a.m.
"We have understood that abortion needs a presence from people of God," said Bob Garrett, overall coordinator of Alleluia Community.
Signs and songs lined the sidewalk of Broad Street before the sun came up.
"The laws of our land permit this right now," Garrett said.
In fact, it's been permitted ever since the Supreme Court ruling in 1973.
But some still won't give up the fight that they've been fighting for decades.
"We've been doing this for over 30 years. We have people down here every week," Garrett said.
And with the law in place and no end in sight, the fight takes on a different tone.
"Right now, our only primary response is to make a spiritual response," Garrett said.
Protesters say they will continue to fight Roe v. Wade and abortions for as long as the decision stands.

Philogen cancels IPO after Bayer terminates partnership
Milan/Berlin – Swiss-Italian biotech Philogen SpA has revoked its plan to sell a 23% stake worth EUR65.3m and go public on the Milan stock exchange this Friday. The move came after German Bayer HealthCare unexpectedly terminated an exclusive licence agreement with Philogen involving the firm's immunocytokine darleukin (L19-IL2). At the time of Bayer's announcement, the dimeric fusion protein of a fully human scFv which targets the Fibronectin EBD domain which almost exclusively occurs in tumour vasculature and the proinflammatory cytokine IL-2, was tested in two Phase II studies in malignant melanoma. In both, a primary endpoint was objective response rate. A spokesman for Bayer confirmed that it had informed Philogen about its decision to terminate the licensing agreement, but he declined to give any further details.

Many critics believed Guy Charron was simply not big enough to play hockey in the NHL, which could explain why he was never drafted. But, like many other small forwards, Charron was determined to make it. By his own admission, he was a late bloomer, playing just one full season of major junior hockey with the Montreal Junior Canadiens, 1968-69, and being overshadowed by the likes of stars Rejean Houle and Marc Tardif, who were constantly in the sports pages for their on-ice heroics. In 50 games with the Juniors, Charron scored 27 goals and 54 points, decent numbers, but certainly not the kind of statistics that make scouts swoon with amazement.
In 1969-70, Charron played 65 games with the Montreal Voltigeurs of the AHL, scoring 37 goals and 82 points. It was that impressive production which caught the attention of the Montreal brass, who called him up to the big team for five games. In 1970-71, Charron was in the lineup for 15 games, where he scored the first two goals of his NHL career. The Canadiens were showcasing his talent, to see if there was any interest amongst other teams for his services. The Detroit Red Wings acquired him midway through the year and in 24 games, scored eight goals and 12 points.
In his first full NHL season with the Red Wings in 1971-72, Charron tallied nine goals and 25 assists, playing primarily a defensive role with the club. During the following two years he was afforded more freedom to play a more wide-open style, resulting in seasons of 18 and 25 goals, respectively.
Charron remained with the Wings until 1974-75, when he was picked by the Kansas City Scouts in the Expansion Draft. He played two years there, scoring 71 points in the 1975-76 season. In 1976-77, Charron joined the Washington Capitals where he posted some of the best offensive numbers of his career. During that first year he scored a career-high 38 goals and 46 assists for 82 points in 80 games, marking the one and only year he averaged better than a point per game. Charron was also a consistent, reliable performer, who did not miss a Capitals' game during his first three years with the team. His last season with the Capitals, and in the NHL, was 1980-81, when he played 47 games. He returned for another two games during a brief comeback with the New haven Nighthawks of the AHL in 1982-83, before retiring as a player. Charron retired having played in 734 games, scoring 221 goals and 530 pointsPlayed in NHL All-Star Game (1977)

AUSTIN (January 17, 2013)—State Sen. Brian Birdwell, R-Granbury, filed a bill Thursday that would allow students, faculty and staff members with concealed handgun licenses to carry firearms on campus for personal protection.
The bill would bar colleges or universities from circumventing the act by imposing bans or penalties on students or employees who are carrying firearms legally, Birdwell said.
The legislation ensures that private schools may establish rules regarding concealed handgun license holders on campus, Birdwell said.
A section of the bill says private or independent institutions may establish rules prohibiting CHL holders from carrying handguns on campus premises owned or leased and operated by the institution.
"For me, this isn't just about the firearm," Birdwell said. "It's about trusting citizens with their God-given, constitutional rights."
"I'm proud to be filing this bill with the support of so many of my colleagues, as well as the full backing of the National Rifle Association and the Texas State Rifle Association," Birdwell said. "
"This is a piece of legislation I have consistently heard about from the citizens I was elected to serve, and I look forward to seeing it enacted."
A similar measure was defeated in 2011 in the Texas House.

Nick Cave sang of love, murder and Miley Cyrus.
He told gruesome morbid tales and gorgeous love stories. The 55-year-old Australian vocalist conjured the ghosts of Robert Johnson, Jack the Ripper and Stagger Lee.
He did so with menace and warmth, style and charisma, pain and anguish, pride and poignancy. He was as punk as Iggy Pop and as poetic as Leonard Cohen.
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds' show on Tuesday at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco was pure stark raving genius -- a deeply moving and encompassing performance that was a rare joy to behold.
The band performed 18 songs, each of which was an arresting experience.
Cave, of course, is usually great in concert. This time around, however, he was even better than usual. And the reason why is that he's even touring in support of his finest album in many years -- "Push the Sky Away," the Bad Seeds' 15th studio effort.
"Push the Sky Away" is an early favorite for best album of 2013, and this show underscored the strength of the new material. Cave sang six of the album's nine songs on Tuesday, each of which was as good, if not better, than any of the longtime fan favorites performed. Yes, that includes such career highlights as "Stagger Lee" and, even, "Mercy Seat."
Cave opened the concert with four straight "Push the Sky Away" tracks, kicking things off with the strikingly somber "We No Who U R" and moving through the volcanic "Jubilee Street," the gorgeous "Wide Lovely Eyes" and the far-reaching "Higgs Boson Blues."
He was a magnetic presence, drawing all eyes with his highly theatrical motions, which fall somewhere between Shakespearean and the Harlem Shake. Sometimes he looks like he's riding an invisible surfboard, working hard to balance his weight on top of a wave that only he can see, or perhaps limbering himself up for a limbo contest.
The singer certainly had plenty of competition for our attention. The stage was loaded with people. Besides Cave and his Bad Seeds, there were backup singers, a string section and a youth choir. With the dim lights, it was nearly impossible to get an exact count of how many there were onstage — but it seemed like dozens. Even Cave seemed a bit perplexed by the number, joking that "there are 100s of (singers)" in the youth choir.
The battalion of voices and musicians added greatly to the musical mix. The live version of "Jubilee Street," in particular, hit like a force of nature, one that grew more powerful as the song progressed. It also added might to the epic "Higgs Boson Blues," a song that has to rank among the most unusual in Cave's songbook — and that's really saying something. The lyrics start with Robert Johnson and end with Miley Cyrus, thus, in effect, encompassing the entirety of popular music of the 20th century and beyond. Think that statement's off? Then, go right ahead and try to name some popular musician who doesn't fall between those two distant bookends.
The best new song performed -- and, indeed, the overall finest song of the night -- was "Wide Lovely Eyes." It's an absolutely mesmerizing love ballad, which Cave wrote for his wife (and muse) Susie Bick, who appears nude (in a tasteful fashion) on the cover of "Push the Sky Away." It's stripped-down (no pun intended), with Cave basically singing over a simple, ticking-clock-like rhythm. It's nervous, a bit twitchy, driven by the fear that Cave feels whenever he must say goodbye to his wife, yet it's also charmingly honest and open. It is, to be frank, one of the very best things Cave has ever written.
Moving away from the new album, Cave flipped through the many moods to be found in his impressive songbook. The version of "From Her to Eternity" (the title track to Cave and the Bad Seeds' 1984 debut) was wildly chaotic, crashing like a drawer full of kitchen utensils hitting the kitchen floor, while "Red Right Hand" (from 1994's "Let Love In") was slinky and seductive.
Cave closed the main set with arguably his best-known murder ballad, the freaky, gruesome tale of "Stagger Lee," then returned for a three-song encore of "Tupelo," "The Ship Song" and the title track to "Push the Sky Away." Then the crowd was left to try and catch its breath.
Good luck with that.

Wetumpka hotel, casino will be Alabama's largest
Poarch Band's 20-story Wind Creek project surpasses 17-story complex in Atmore
Published: Friday, October 25, 2013 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, October 25, 2013 at 1:07 a.m.
MONTGOMERY | Alabama's largest casino project, the 17-story Wind Creek Atmore, will soon be eclipsed by the 20-story Wind Creek Wetumpka.
Photo Galleries
Both are owned by the Poarch Band of Creek Indians, and the tribe's gambling operations have thrived as the attorney general has put non-tribal casinos out of business.
Property manager Cody Williamson said Thursday the casino will open Dec. 17 and the hotel in late January or early February, which is five years after Wind Creek Atmore. The Wetumpka casino has 2,520 electronic games compared to 1,800 in Atmore. The Wetumpka hotel has 283 rooms compared to 236 in Atmore.
The $250 million project will replace a 1,182-game casino next door.
Project director Rob Lee of the Hnedak Bobo Group of Memphis, Tenn., said the curving designs throughout the hotel and casino represent the flow of wind and water. All hotel rooms are facing the Coosa River, which flows alongside the hotel and casino. "The views are pretty incredible," he said.
The centerpiece of the casino is a 16,000-gallon shark tank designed by the crew from the Animal Planet show "Tank."
The casino only has electronic games that Williamson describes as electronic bingo. There are no table games like the Mississippi casinos have.
Williamson said the entire project cost $250 million. It will replace a smaller casino the Creeks have operated next door with 1,182 games.
Williamson said the old casino attracted people mostly within a 75-mile radius, but the tribe expects the new casino and hotel to draw from a much wider area. He said the tribe has begun advertising in Atlanta, Birmingham and Huntsville.
Wetumpka, with more than 7,100 people, is 12 miles northeast of Montgomery. The hotel and casino won't pay sales, lodging and property taxes because they are on traditional tribal land. A $25 million parking deck is not on tribal land and will pay property taxes, Williamson said.
Wetumpka Mayor Jerry Willis declined comment on the impact of the hotel and casino because he is trying to negotiate an agreement with the tribe concerning services. But a downtown merchant, Donald Carey, owner of We-2 Gifts and Awards, isn't optimistic because the hotel offers five restaurants from fast food to white table cloth and has other amenities designed to keep people on site.
"Other than more traffic, I don't expect to see anything. People coming there are going to have anything they want there," he said.
Williamson said the Wind Creek Atmore led to the construction of two chain motels and some fast-food restaurants nearby. He said the existing Wetumpka operation employs 435 and will employ about 1,000 when the hotel and casino open. "When this place opens, everybody will know somebody who works here," he said.
The Poarch Creek Indians' casinos, including a 2,300-game casino in Montgomery that doesn't have a hotel, have grown since the state began shutting down non-tribal casinos, including VictoryLand casino in Shorter, 20 miles southeast of Wetumpka.
State Attorney General Luther Strange Luther Strange filed suit against the tribe's gambling operations in state court in February, contending the games are actually slot machines, which are illegal in Alabama. The tribe got the suit move to federal court on grounds that the state courts lacked jurisdiction. U.S. District Judge Keith Watkins is considering a request from the tribe to dismiss the suit.

SANTA CLARA -- Coach Jim Harbaugh said Tuesday that he has "great respect" for backup quarterback Alex Smith but indicated that the 49ers owes him no special favors when it comes to where he's playing in 2013.
Smith, who has a year remaining on his 49ers contract, wants to return to a starting role next season. The team could give him a fresh start by trading or releasing him. But Harbaugh said that would be a business decision, not a personal one.
"I don't think any player has those wishes granted when they're under contract," Harbaugh said when asked whether Smith had earned additional consideration. "And everything's different and every scenario is unique. Certainly something that we're not going to delve into and get into specifics at this point."
Smith sustained a concussion and lost his job to Colin Kaepernick at mid-season. If he is still on the roster beyond April 1, the 49ers will owe him about $8.5 million.
"We feel good, great, about our quarterback situation,'' Harbaugh said. "You can't have enough good quarterbacks."
Smith, who has played eight seasons in San Francisco, completed 70.2 percent of his passes this season, with 13 touchdowns and five interceptions. He could be an attractive trade target for teams looking for someone with starting experience.
Asked if this might be the end for Smith's tenure in San Francisco, safety Donte Whitner said:
"I wish Alex the best. He was a great teammate. If this is his last time ... I know he'll go and use the situation this year and what he's been through to fuel him to go get wins and push his team to the playoffs.
"I truly believe that, I truly believe there's something out for Alex."

Next Week's Tape: A Holiday, and Earnings Onslaught
By Paul Vigna and Kathleen Madigan
The big event next week will occur while the market's not even open, and after that, it'll be another raft of earnings reports (not that anybody seems to care about earnings these days).
The markets are closed on Monday for Martin Luther King Day, but that presents a rare confluence: this year, the holiday happens to fall on the same day as the president's inauguration. While the inauguration isn't necessarily a market mover, it'll signal that D.C.'s really ready to get down to business, and there's a lot of business on the table.
Hopefully, the donkeys and elephants are in a cooperative mood.
Otherwise, the big event next week is the continuation of earnings season, with reports from a slew of companies, including Apple Google IBM, J&J, Netflix McDonald's, 3M Starbucks and Microsoft. It's been another weak quarter for profit growth – expected to come in only about 2% ahead of last year – but the market doesn't seem to care these days about small matters like that, as it marches to ever fresher multi-year highs.
More reports about the housing market, though? The market will want to hear those.
New information on the strength of the housing recovery will be released next week, when reports on sales and prices are announced. They are expected to show the recovery is firming.
The National Association of Realtors will report existing home sales Tuesday, when U.S. financial markets reopen after Monday's observation of Martin Luther King Day.
Economists surveyed by Dow Jones Newswires predict resales increased 2.0% in December to an annual rate of 5.14 million.
On Wednesday the Federal Housing Finance Agency will report its measure of home prices. Economists expect the FHFA home-price index increased 0.8% in November. The FHFA index hasn't fallen since January 2012. Rising prices are a sign of better balance between supply and demand–after years of oversupply in the real-estate markets.
New home sales are on tap Friday. The median forecast is for 391,000 new homes sold in December, up 3.7% from 377,000 homes sold in November.
MarketWatch's Polya Lesova stopped by the Markets Hub this morning to preview the week ahead:

Can the Black community change the face of the music industry?
Jasiri X talks about grassroots activism in the Obama/Tea Party Era at Columbia College in Chicago. (Courtesy Photo Bakari Kitwana/Andrew Bryce Photography) Members of the Black intelligentsia let out a collective victory cry last week when hip-hop artist Lil Wayne lost a multi-million dollar endorsement deal with Mountain Dew as a result of lyrics comparing the beating of murdered teenager Emmett Till in 1955 to female genitalia.

I would be much more likely to do it though if I felt the "Mika" in the story acted at all like Mika is actually likely to do in real life.But then again, I sent around silly photoshopped pictures of Mika being lovey-dovey with a fellow British singer as a joke, so we'll see, I might do that yet.jareth's tights: I suppose the color must have been inspired by PW, but really I just wanted something that wasn't blond that would contrast well with brown."why, instead of semen, couldn't men ejaculate strawberry jam or something?"--jareth's tights"I have had contact with a vagina." --strangeDivine

This Ghost is one of my all-time favorite jams and my favorite Ghost. The band starts it off with a nice, long intro and moves quietly through the verses. The jam begins in a very laid-back manner. Trey doesn't do much during the first segment of the jam, which allows Mike and Page to really lead. Mike quickly locks into a funky groove and Page explores many keyboard effects like a mad scientist and uses them to dramatic effect. These are the type of sounds that crawl into your head through your ear and stay there for a while.
The jam picks up at about 10 minutes when Trey joins in over Mike's continuous groove. Only for about 2 minutes of this 27 minute jam do we hear some of the typical rocking, pentatonic playing from Trey found in many Ghosts. Trey starts playing a simple, pretty progression at about 15:45 and the rest of the band follows suit. Great trill from Page at 16:25. Trey alters the progression slightly and expands it, but keeps the same feel. This uplifting passage chugs along for a while with each band member adding color, but Mike's playing is especially amazing. Around 20 minutes into this jam is one of my favorite performances by Mike ever. Simply beautiful.
The band slowly builds to a brief moment of tension. It's over quickly, but Trey plays an emotive riff here that always gets me. This peak is relatively tame for Phish standards, but it is very effective as it resolves the previous 20 plus minutes of jamming. At 24:30 the band enters a beautiful, ambient outro and Mike further solidifies his claim to MVP of the jam with some more gorgeous work. Trey plays sweetly here as well.
Phenomenal jam.

Many people hear Livermore Valley and think of the usual California suspects: chardonnay, zinfandel and cabernet sauvignon. Those varietals are certainly grown in Livermore, and some expressions are quite good.
But if you're looking for something different, unique or inspiring, you may want to keep an eye on these five winemakers. From a valley veteran with an illustrious portfolio and a young environmental trailblazer to a female winemaker crafting incredible white wines, these five have very interesting projects on the table or in the works -- and are worth watching.
Collin Cranor
Most winemakers and wine experts in Livermore will tell you that they have high hopes for Collin Cranor. At just 26, the winemaker for Nottingham Cellars already has made a name for himself with high-scoring, award-winning cabernet sauvignons and a sold-out, small-production grenache-syrah-mourvedre blend, Awakening. But even at his age, he is considered a trailblazer in the Livermore Valley for embracing and advocating wine in kegs. Nottingham currently owns 80 kegs, which they fill for clients all over the Bay Area, from Vino Vino in San Jose to Walnut Creek's Residual Sugar.
Chris Graves
You may know him for his role at Ruby Hill Winery, a mainstay in the Livermore Valley. But earlier this month, Graves opened Rubino Estates, the newest and most anticipated winery in years. With an 8,000-square-foot tasting room, it may be the area's largest and most lavish spot to sip wine. Last year, to match the winery's Italian theme, Graves grafted a few acres over to nebbiolo and trebbiano (the only trebbiano in the Livermore Valley, I believe).
Steven Mirassou
The Steven Kent portfolio, particularly the Bordeaux blends, are often recognized as among the best in California. That's Mirassou's mission: to be uttered in the same list as Opus One. But it is Mirassou's management of the 55-acre Ghielmetti Vineyard that also is getting a lot of buzz. The vineyard, which was planted in 2001 with Bordeaux varietals, will come into its own in the next decade with Mirassou adding more clones of cabernet sauvignon and possibly carmenere, the "sixth" Bordeaux varietal, of which there is none in Livermore.
In addition to the reds, the Ghielmetti sauvignon blanc grapes are so good that winemakers are pining for them. It's understandable. The wines they create are so stunning, it makes me realize how and why a Livermore sauvignon blanc-semillon took home America's first wine medal at the 1889 Paris Exposition. Mirassou is all about returning the Livermore Valley to its legacy as a world-class wine region.
Larry Dino
The winemaker at Cuda Ridge is making some of the best single-varietal petit verdot in California. At $34, it is dark and inky in color with bold berry fruit, tobacco and chocolate, and it has a soft feel in the mouth without sacrificing on tannin structure. The grapes come from the Smith Ranch Vineyard on the west side of Livermore. Hopefully if he continues winning those medals, he will increase production to more than the current 168 cases.
Darcie Kent
I love that Darcie Kent bottled what I believe to be the first gruner veltliner (at least the first for commercial sale) in California. The fruit doesn't come from Livermore, but rather the sloping Rava's Blackjack Vineyard in Monterey County, where brisk coastal breezes and abundant fog help this Austrian varietal express its bright flavors and whopping acidity. Her sauvignon blanc, made from grapes grown in the same vineyard, is ravishing as well. So is her double-gold Livermore Valley chardonnay. Is she the valley's white wine goddess? Stay tuned.

Who wants to remember those moments? We'd much rather remember the moments that end with, "... and then I hit the jackpot!"
After that, inspiring stories emerged. These stories each had a journey -- just like the people who lived them. My students realized the connection between the things that happen to them every day, and a personal message based on their lives.
An IT tech found her expertise to help others find solutions was driven from the chaos in her childhood. A financial advisory realized how his own loses motivated him to help protect and guide others to security.
Every story has a beginning, middle, and an end. Sometimes, the hard part is to admit the beginning.
I hope to see you at "The Message of You" conference. There, you'll find the story that motivates your life.

Camdenton high school students returned to class on Tuesday afternoon after an eventful morning. The high school was evacuated after an alleged parent notified school officials that their student said a bomb was supposed to go off at noon.
After speaking to law enforcement, school officials decided to bus students to Camdenton Middle School and Oak Ridge Elementary.
Camdenton Police, Camden County Sheriff's Department and Missouri Highway Patrol accompanied school officials and a bomb dog with a sweep of the entire building. Officials found nothing suspicious.
Law enforcement is currently looking for a source of the alleged threat. The phone number given with the tip appeared to not be a valid number. School officials checked records and found no such student enrolled and no such parent in the system. According to Camdenton Police, an investigation will continue in order to attempt to identify the source.
If a source is identified and it is confirmed that the call was nothing more than a prank, the person responsible could be facing formal charges. Camdenton Police Chief Laura Wright said that if someone is found, the police department will contact the prosecutor in order to file any and all charges that apply including Class C Felony Terroristic Threatening and False Bomb Reports.
Lake Sun will update readers as more information becomes available.

About Jeff Masters
Dr. Masters co-founded wunderground in 1995. He flew with the NOAA Hurricane Hunters 1986-1990. Co-blogging with him: Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 1:35 PM GMT on November 09, 2007
A massive fall storm over Europe's North Sea generated winds near hurricane force last night that pushed a dangerous storm surge near 1.5 meters (4.65 feet) in height to the southeastern English coast this morning. The storm surge was much lower than originally feared, due in part to the fact it did not hit at high tide. The surge did breach sea defenses and caused some minor coastal flooding in England. It was feared that the storm might rival the great North Sea Flood of 1953 that breached the dikes in the Netherlands. Over 2,000 people died in northern Europe in that storm, mostly in the Netherlands. While today's storm did not approach the 1953 storm in severity, it did bring the highest storm surge seen in the past 20 years to the North Sea. The massive flood gates that protect the Dutch port of Rotterdam were closed for the first time since they were constructed in the 1990s. From early media accounts, the gates did their job admirably, protecting the Netherlands from inundation. Water levels reached 3.16 meters above mean sea level in the southern Netherlands, and 3.40 meters above sea level in the northern Netherlands, with no flooding reported. The floods of 1953 saw Dutch waters rise to 3.85 meters (12.6 ft) above sea level. Today's storm was not the remains of Hurricane Noel, which is currently over northern Canada.

Tropical update
An area of disturbed weather over the extreme southern Caribbean, near Panama, is under about 20 knots of wind shear. The computer forecast models are predicting that some development of this region may occur by Sunday, when wind shear is expected to fall below 20 knots. However, the models are less keen on this prospect than yesterday. Any system that might form is expected to move westward and affect Costa Rica and Nicaragua.
I'll have an update Monday morning, unless there's some new development this weekend.
