For + Against: Instagram's LINK IN BIO
Generally speaking at Tamar the youngsters are on Snapchat and treat Facebook very casually, whereas the older (ahem) people are on Facebook, but don't feel the need to add to their social repertoire with Snapchat. This seems to be a pretty common theme amongst how the generations use social, but there is one platform we all use and that's Instagram. …Continue Reading

Deputies responded to a burglary alarm at an Eagle-Vail business on U.S. Highway 6 Aug. 3.
Officers saw T-shirts still on hangers lying on the ground as they approached the back door. A window in the back door had been broken with a rock.
Inside, it appeared the burglar(s) tried to steal a display case but only made off with about $300 worth of T-shirts.
Deputies stopped a driver for not wearing a seat belt on Miller Ranch Road in Edwards on Aug. 5.
There was also a passenger holding a baby that should have been in a car seat. The 24-year-old driver said he knew the baby should be in a car seat but there was no room in the truck.
It turned out the man's driver license was suspended. He was cited for driving without a license.
Deputies were called on Aug. 5 after an intoxicated man crashed a golf cart into a tree along the Eagle-Vail Golf Course.
The tree was on private property. The property owner saw the incident and provided a description of the suspect. He said the tree had about $300 worth of damage.
Officers found the 33-year-old suspect and asked him if he had been drinking. The man said he had three beers. Officers asked him if he crashed into a tree. The man said he had. It happened while he was looking at his score card.
The deputies found eight empty beer cans in the golf cart and arrested the man for further investigation of driving under the influence of alcohol. He submitted to a breath test and was cited for DUI.
A deputy stopped a car in Edwards on Aug. 6 after it rolled through a stop sign.
The 53-year-old driver said she knew why she'd been stopped. She also exhibited signs of intoxication, however, and said she had a couple glasses of wine earlier that evening.
She was polite and cooperative, even joking, but her husband in the passenger seat was belligerent. He repeatedly threatened deputies, saying they had no idea who they were arresting and they would be sorry.
The woman agreed to perform voluntary roadside tests, which she failed. She was arrested for further investigation of DUI and submitted to a blood test. She was cited for DUI and failing to stop at stop sign.
An 18-year-old man called deputies on Aug. 12, saying he had been beat up by a 19-year-old man while camping and partying outside Wolcott the previous night.
The 18-year-old said the 19-year-old had been threatening him all evening on Aug. 11. The 18-year-old went to sleep in his car. He thought he locked all the doors but the back hatch was open.
In the morning, the 19-year-old had a pipe in his hands and continued threatening the 18-year-old. He tried to get into the car, discovered the open hatch and pulled the 18-year-old out.
The 18-year-old said he didn't try to fight. He curled himself into a fetal position to shield himself. He was punched once in the face. Officers noted there was swelling to his nose and dried blood on his lips and face.
No witnesses were available by that time and the suspect was gone. The pipe he had been holding was found nearby.
Deputies discovered the 19-year-old was being held at the jail for violating probation. They asked him about the incident. There weren't any marks on him that suggested he had been in a fight. The man refused to say anything and requested a lawyer. He was issued an arrest warrant at the jail.
Deputies and other police officers stopped a car that was driving east on the westbound lanes of Interstate 70 on Aug. 8.
The 25-year-old driver smelled of alcohol and admitted that he had two beers earlier. He gave deputies permission to search the car. Deputies found two bags of marijuana and two beers.
The man agreed to perform voluntary roadside tests, which he failed. He submitted to a breath test.
The car was towed and the man was cited for DUI, possession of less than 2 ounces of marijuana and driving on the wrong side of a divided highway. He was released into the custody of his sober roommate.
A 62-year-old woman was working in her garden on Rule Road in Eagle on Aug. 10 when her 42-year-old neighbor started shooting guns at targets in his backyard.
The woman called deputies and said she felt like ricochet bullets were zinging by her. She sounded very frightened.
Officers contacted the neighbor, who said he had been shooting. He insisted the targets were set up safely and that there was no way any bullets were going onto his neighbor's property.
A friend of the man was shooting with him and was a firearms instructor. He backed up the claim that there was no possibility of bullets going onto the woman's property.
Both neighbors acknowledged past conflicts over the man's dogs.
The man was cited for reckless endangerment.

As others have reported. This is not the best drug but after seeing different doctors including Encronologists, we all get the same answer. Stay on it but as we know; the best numbers we can get is around 240. It appears to be a physician pay off to me.

I take 80 units 3 X per day and still wake up with blood sugars above 220. It is so hard to find a doctor that actually treats you for your concern instead preach about losing weight when the medicine they prescribe causes you to gain the weight in the first place.

The 2013 Linn County Budget recently approved and released indicates that the County is projected to finish well into the 'black' for the current fiscal year that began January 1, 2013. With total estimated revenues of $7,550,014.87 and total estimated expenditures of $6,330,738.32, the 2013 County Budget finishes with a balance of $1,219,276.55 to the good. Total anticipated 2013 revenues are $1,627,524 higher than they actually were in 2012 when total revenues were $5,922,491. Total anticipated 2013 expenditures are $6,330,738, which is $2,887,210 more than actual expenditures for 2012 ($3,443,528).
Although 2013 property tax revenues ($165,000) are projected to decline by $26,069 from actual 2012 property tax revenues ($191,069), 2013 sales tax revenues ($1,779,832) are expected to increase by $507,433 over what they were in 2012 ($1,272,399). Sales tax revenue has decreased by $10,255, but that loss has been offset by an increase in Use Tax revenues of $11,823.
The majority of this fiscal year's revenue increase is in 'Intergovernmental Revenues' ($2,372,980), which includes 'Reimbursements of Board Bills/Jury Fees' ($35,000), 'Election Cost Refunds and Transfer' ($50,880), and 'Department of Revenue Use Tax' ($98,231). Budgeted Intergovernmental Revenues in 2013 ($2,372,980) are $616,734 more than Intergovernmental Revenues actually received as revenue in 2012 ($1,756,246). When those 2013 Intergovernmental Revenues are distributed to various funds, the largest distribution goes to the Special Road and Bridge Fund ($1,517,160), followed by the distribution to the General Revenue Fund ($305,972).

Simple greed
Published: Sunday, October 14, 2012 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, October 12, 2012 at 5:26 p.m.
To the editor: Our political parties again are having us focus our wrath on tax rates being either too high or too low. They never specify tax loopholes, which lead to tax avoidance, nor the lobbyists who buy congressional votes to create those loopholes.
Consider the following 30 major companies:
GE, PG&E, Verizon, Wells Fargo, AEP, Pepco Holdings, Computer Sciences, CenterPoint Energy, NiSource, Duke Energy, Boeing, NextEra Energy, Consolidated Energy, Paccar, Integrys Energy Group, Wisconsin Energy, DuPont, Baxter International, Tenet Healthcare, Ryder System, El Paso, Honeywell International, CMS Energy, Con-way, Navistar International, DTE Energy, Interpublic Group, Mattel, Corning and FedEx. In the years 2008-2010, they reported combined profits of $163.6 billion, lobbying expenses of $475.6 million and federal campaign contributions of $22.4 million, according to watchdog group Public Campaign.
Guess how much they paid in federal income tax? Were not talking accrued taxes, deferred taxes, property taxes, withholding taxes, etc. Were talking Uncle Sams income tax paid.
They paid no taxes. They actually received tax rebates from our generous uncle totaling $10.6 billion.
Its pretty obvious that our elected leaders are bought and paid for. Party makes no difference. Its also obvious that both political parties have forsaken the United States for simple greed.

Defining socialism
To the editor: A recent letter to the editor said that calling Barack Obama a socialist was name-calling and silly. Honestly, what is the definition of a socialist? According to Random House, it is an advocate or supporter of socialism.
Socialism, according to Random House, is a theory or system of social organization that advocates the vesting of the ownership and control of the means of production and distribution of capital, land, etc., in the community as a whole.
As Obama himself proudly declares, he wants to redistribute the wealth. He is a socialist!
If you want to keep our republic, vote Republican in November!
Francie Harrill
Wrong Romney
To the editor: Oughtnt we give three rousing cheers for Mitt Romney? No! Not the quintessential empty suit Willard but his estimable father George who possessed so many positive qualities sorely lacking, alas, in his devious son the most significant being integrity.
Raised in relative poverty, George Romney rose to great affluence, not by shuffling money (generally other peoples) around but by actually producing something automobiles. He treated his workers fairly (not anti-union) and was pro-civil rights early on. He then became a successful governor.
One major difference involves tax returns. To Mitts paltry two, George offered 19 willingly. Mitt rationalizes this by saying John McCain gave only two. McCain is quite wealthy (by his wife), literally, not knowing how many houses he owns, but nobody believes he plays Mitts game.
He never comprehended why George was excoriated for claiming hed been brainwashed regarding Vietnam.
When asked what quality is most desirable in a leader, citizens invariably choose adherence to principle. Originally believing the war was winnable, George realized hed been conned and bravely changed his mind. Instead of praise, he received scorn. Go figure! We have the wrong Romney. Hurrah for George!
Joseph D. Haley
More of the same
To the editor: We know that government persists in doing the same things over and over again while expecting different results.
And government seems to believe that is somehow more brilliant, more educated and more capable than millions of Americans. Definitely not the worldview of our Founders.
Throughout California, public-sector unions sell votes for fat pensions (Aug. 13 National Review article, Penniless in Paradise), but there is no money in San Bernardino to fund them. Yet in D.C. (District of Corruption), bureaucrats contemplate another quantitative easing, doublespeak for taxing our savings away through inflation.
Barack Obamas Marxist-socialist solutions neither have nor ever will improve economic conditions. Hope can only come from real change (in government). Instead, Obama promises more of the same old top-down Orwellian management style that pits elitist, self-serving government against a bottom-up, wildly distributed government style crafted for us by our forefathers (refer to Matt Kibbes Hostile Takeover, Resisting Centralized Governments Stranglehold on America).
Millions of Americans hoping for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness trump by far Obamas tyrannical, socialist, collectivist vision for us and our posterity.

News 12 This Morning / Friday, June 1, 2012
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Hurricane season started on Friday, but two named tropical storms have already swept through the Southeast. As area county emergency personnel prepare for the season ahead, the county wants you to be prepared at home as well.
At a moment's notice, Sam Booher is ready to hit the road.
"We are then available to help in emergencies, primarily in our own subdivisions," Booher said.
He's certified through the community emergency response team in Columbia County, also known as CERT. Booher is equipped with radios, a first aid kit and other tools necessary during a disaster.
"The county emergency people can't get here right away, let's say roads are blocked, pine trees all over the road, vehicles can't get in, we are your first line of defense," Booher explained.
Pam Tucker, the director of emergency management agency, added, "When you have a catastrophic disaster, you have a lot of people who want to show up and help."
This year, emergency management in Columbia County has more than 400 people ready to help save lives and bring people to safety, volunteers like Booher.
"Our county is probably better prepared for these situations then a lot of other counties in Georgia," Booher said.
This storm-ready community wants you to be ready, too.
"The power outages always seem to throw people for a loop and they need to have a plan for that -- be prepared, look at generators," Tucker said.
Tucker recommends building your own emergency supply kit packed with batteries, a flash light, food and water. A gallon of water will last one person three days during a disaster. You can do the math to see how much water you need to store.
Homeowners should also review their insurance policies and look into whether they need flood insurance.
"Down bursts or tornado or straight-line winds blowing a tree over, your homeowners insurance will cover that," Tucker said.
That's why he is ready to step in if a storm hits. You can find more tips on how to prepare yourself here.

Saturday's letters: Excess funds
Published: Saturday, April 6, 2013 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, April 5, 2013 at 4:34 p.m.
To the editor: Since Flat Rock is so flush, may I suggest that instead of buying a park some people may visit once out of curiosity and a few people, if any, on a regular basis, the city reduce our taxes accordingly so that we may use the proceeds to better advantage as we see fit?
Since reducing taxes is out of vogue these days, the excess city funds might be used to enhance funds for the preservation of the Flat Rock Playhouse.

Poor enforcement
To the editor: Thank you for publishing Bruce Bensons heartfelt column about dogs and the duty we owe them as our companions (March 23 edition). Also, the recent article about chained dogs is well-timed because election season for our local government officials will be here before we know it.
Despite what the article stated, I know from personal experience that our officers dont always do what they should when they come across violations of the cruelty ordinance. I once called the city police to make a welfare check on a starving dog whose people had been out of town for more than a week, leaving him chained. He had no water or food. I watched the officer drive up, put water and food in the dogs bowls and drive away, all so that he wouldnt have to enforce the ordinance, take the dog and charge the owners.
Some of these chained dogs are being used in illegal dogfights; you can tell this from their scars. But we never hear about any dogfights getting busted. Henderson County and the city need some serious laws and some serious enforcement.
Guri Andermann
A stellar cast
To the editor: I just read about the cast for The Odd Couple, the opening show this year at the Flat Rock Playhouse, and I was thrilled. Its a whos who of many of my favorite actors from many past years.
Scott Treadway and Charles Flynn-McIver, playing Felix Unger and Oscar Madison, are teaming up as they have many times over the past 10 years, and they simply never miss.
There are also several players in other roles that always make the FRP stage light up, such as Michael MacCauley, Ralph Redpath and Peter Thomasson. If there is a group that can make a Neil Simon comedy funnier than the script, this is it!
Susan King
Big Brother?
To the editor: I noticed while driving on Upward Road that at each stoplight, there are cameras. Look up, and you will see them.
Why are they there? What information, and to whom, are they reporting? Can anyone answer this question? Is this disturbing to others as well as to me? Answers would be appreciated.
Patricia Mendock

Ones neighbor
To the editor: How can one Love your neighbor as yourself? If one is contemptuous of oneself, loving the neighbor is highly unlikely. This contempt for ones neighbor is likened to the contempt one has for oneself.
Many of us have come to believe that we are all one with nature, the universe and each other. We develop this sense of oneness, first, by accepting, appreciating and loving oneself. One problem with this is seeing ourselves as separate from the neighbor. This separation is developed by our own infantile sense of mine!
I remember being scolded once by my daughter when I was playing the little mine! game with her little daughter. I was surprised that she took offense at that, but later I saw the wisdom in her objection.
If we live in a safe, inclusive environment, it may not be so difficult to love your neighbor as yourself. We can let the walls of separation down and feel the same toward everyone, including the self.
If we arent so lucky, it will take a high degree of maturity that most of us have to work at to develop. It helps immensely if we have someone to love and who loves us in return.

ANAHEIM -- Kiss those hopes for a late surge to the top of the Pacific Division goodbye.
The Sharks came up short Wednesday night, dropping a 5-2 decision to an Anaheim Ducks team they had hoped to leapfrog into first place in the final week of the regular season. With second place guaranteed, San Jose knows it will face the Los Angeles Kings in the first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs -- the third time in four years that the California rivals will go head-to-head in the postseason.
"It would have been great," Joe Thornton said of a division title. "But we're in the playoffs, we know who we're going to play, and it's going to be a heck of a first round. Can't wait."
In a game where the Sharks needed strong goaltending, they didn't get it as Antti Niemi gave up three goals on 19 shots before being yanked midway through the game.
And afterward, coach Todd McLellan stopped short of backing Niemi as his top netminder in the postseason when asked if the veteran was "his guy" going into the playoffs.
"Nemo's one of our guys," he responded.
Forward Patrick Maroon scored twice for the Ducks, who got single goals from Corey Perry, Matt Beleskey and Jakob Silfverberg, the latter into an empty net. Jason Demers and Logan Couture were the Sharks to beat Anaheim rookie John Gibson, who made 36 saves in earning his second NHL win in two starts.
Both sides talked of this game having a near-playoff atmosphere, and neither team showed up tentative. There were close calls and hard hits at both ends of the ice early on, but the game was scoreless until the final two minutes of the first period.
The Sharks took advantage of the fact Anaheim was expecting an icing call after Gibson raised his glove to signal a whistle was coming. But officials didn't see it the same way, and Joe Pavelski quickly got the puck to Demers, who beat the Ducks netminder on the far side.
Niemi's first questionable goal came in the final seconds of the first period, as Perry took the puck along the left sideboards, drove past Justin Braun and managed to slide the puck through Niemi's pads at 19:57 to tie it at 1-1.
The Ducks took a 2-1 lead at 3:32 of the second period when Maroon retrieved the puck for a wraparound before Niemi could move laterally from post to post. The Sharks were able to tie the game a little less than four minutes later, however, when Couture took advantage of a turnover and fired a perfectly placed shot that beat Gibson on the short side.
Maroon's second goal at 9:35 was the one that drove Niemi from the game. The Sharks netminder had a clear view of the 22-foot shot from just inside the left faceoff circle, but the puck hit his glove and trickled across the line to make it a 3-2 game. Exit Niemi, enter backup Alex Stalock.
"The first one, he would love to have back, I'm sure," McLellan said. "I was concerned coming out in the second that that would put us back on our heels, but we responded well. Then they got the second one, and we still responded."
The team's reaction was different after Anaheim regained the lead.
"You could feel the bench getting a little deflated, so we needed to do something at that point," McLellan said. "We made the change, and I thought we responded well again. Just not enough."
Stalock had little chance on a shot by Beleskey after he toe-dragged the puck around Brent Burns, who had dropped to the ice hoping to block a shot.
The Sharks weren't ready to hang their failed attempt to win the Pacific on one game, however.
"You can look at it tonight, you can look at something we did three, four, five games ago or you can go back as far as you want to," Dan Boyle said. "We still like our team. We like our chances going into these playoffs."

HA. Man oh man... I figured people have learned why not to do this by now.
Ask Tennessees' and Cincinnatis' players and fans...
Best part is the Raiders fan desecrating the Towel in Baltimore. :)
It's gotta be hard being a Baltimore fan. First the Colts took your team. Then you took the Browns. So you're either an Indy fan or a Cleveland fan. Or you switched teams to the Redskins. Or you're a Raider fan????
What's that saying do unto Cleveland, what you'd want Indy to do unto you? I don't get it. There's no way to live in Baltimore and be a man of principle. You got Modell's sloppy seconds. Unfortunately for you, you've got about as much claim on these Raven's Lombardi as you do on Peyton's Colt's Lombardi.
I was a bit concerned knowing that Ben was injured right before the Ravens were coming to town.
I'm not concerned anymore. The Terrible Towel is poised to strike!
.....and BOY, did it STRIKE!
:tt2:tt2:tt2:tt2:tt2:tt2:tt2:tt2:tt2:tt2:tt2:tt2:t t2:tt2:tt2:tt2:tt2:tt2:tt2:tt2:tt2:tt2:tt2:tt2:tt2
After their third consecutive win against the Steelers, safety Ed Reedhttp://www.baltimoreravens.com/asset...ticle-link.gif and several Ravens players were reportedly walking toward the visiting locker room singing "Renegade," the Steelers' adopted anthem by Styx, used to pump up their home crowd in crucial game moments.
Others, including running back Ray Ricehttp://www.baltimoreravens.com/asset...ticle-link.gif, could be seen with the Steelers Terrible Towel draped over their heads.
Several media took note and one thought it provided the imagery of something bigger happening between the bitter rivals.
The singing, the towels, Sundays slugfest victory and the recent Ravens winning streak are all signs that the rivalry scales are tipping in Baltimores direction, says ESPNs Ashley Fox.
Renegade? Perfect, Fox wrote. What the Ravens did to the Steelers on Sunday was part vengeance, part message: We're not going anywhere. You're getting older. Now is our time.

But first, this Buffalo Chex Mix. The holidays wouldn't be complete without a big batch of Chex Mix sitting on the counter to munch on. It's the only time of year that I make it and I'd venture a bet that more Chex cereal is sold during the month of December than the other eleven months combined. And while I really love traditional Chex Mix, this year I wanted to try something different so I decided to go a little bold and make this Buffalo Chex Mix. Frank's Red Hot adds a little zip and heat to this crispy, crunchy snack but it doesn't take it over the top to hot and spicy. Feel free to add a little more than is called for if you want additional heat.
Buffalo Chex Mix (adapted from Chex.com)
4 cups Rice Chex cereal
4 cups Wheat Chex cereal
2 cups Parmesan-flavored tiny fish-shaped crackers
2 cups pretzel twists
6 tablespoons butter
2 1/2 tablespoons hot sauce
1 packet ranch dressing mix
2 teaspoons celery seed
Preheat oven to 250 degrees.
In microwavable dish melt butter in the microwave for 30-60 seconds. Add the hot sauce, ranch dressing mix and celery seed. Stir to combine.
Place cereals, fish crackers and pretzels in a large roasting pan. Pour butter mixture on top and stir well to coat pieces. Bake in oven for one hour, stirring every fifteen minutes. Remove from oven and cool mixture on paper towels. Store in air tight container when completely cooled.
Now onto Jerry the elf, Jockstrap Barney and el Matador. (this is where'd I'd click the "x" in the upper right hand corner if you're not a family member because it's going to be a bit like watching other peoples' home movies. By the time I'm through, you're going to want to go home and eat your young.)
Meet Jockstrap Barney and el Matador. (I don't even know where to begin.)
The el Matador mug is actually an award given to a male family member who best displays the qualities of (this is where it becomes difficult to explain) whatever it is they want to be qualified for. Some years the winner is chosen because of his lifetime achievements related to bizarre behavior and other years the chosen one is voted in because of hardship or best display of family values. It just really all depends on the year but regardless of reason, the tradition itself has grown to the point of craziness.
The presentation starts with a past winners' processional down the stairs. My nephew, clad in a blue terry cloth robe, then unveils el Matador while everyone sings "Oh Holy Night." Have you figured out that there are copious amounts of alcohol involved?

Should the state of New Hampshire make public the home addresses of and other information about convicted murderers and other criminals now out on parole in much the same way it publicizes the whereabouts of sex offenders?

Here are your weekend best bets for the 2014 Noise Pop festival:
Throwing Muses -- It's one of the most underrated acts in music history. The Throwing Muses helped write the rule book for alt-rock with such excellent offerings as 1988's "House Tornado" and 1989's "Hunkpapa," yet the group has rarely received the same respect shown to the Pixies, the Replacements and the genre's other early architects. It's time to give the Muses their due, so come on out to see the band during the Noise Pop festival.
8 p.m. Feb. 28; Jewish Community Center of San Francisco; $25
Real Estate -- This New Jersey indie-pop troupe can jangle with the best of them. Real Estate should appeal to fans of such "Paisley Underground" movement bands as Dream Syndicate and The Three O'Clock, as well as to those who adore early R.E.M. records.
8 p.m. Feb. 28-March 1; The Independent, S.F.; $20
Mark Kozelek-- He's a legendary figure on the Bay Area music scene, who first came to fame while leading the Red House Painters in the '90s and then went on to further acclaim with Sun Kil Moon. He's playing solo at Noise Pop, set to delight fans with his signature blend of folk and indie styles.
8 p.m. March 1; Great American Music Hall; $25-$28

- Apple vs. Samsung: Hundreds of millions at stake in smartphone patent retrial
SAN JOSE -- From a pharmacist to a therapist, an eclectic band of Silicon Valley jurors was chosen Tuesday to decide whether Samsung owes Apple hundreds of millions of dollars more for violating the patents on the iPhone and iPad.
The eight-person federal court jury Wednesday will hear opening statements in the latest patent showdown between Apple and Samsung, which continue their global legal feud over the rights to smartphone and tablet technology.
The jury will hear a six-day retrial of the damages phase of the case, with the stakes as high as $500 million or more. U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh earlier this year slashed about that amount from last year's $1 billion verdict against Samsung, concluding that a jury did not properly calculate damages on 13 Samsung devices deemed to have violated Apple's patent rights.
The older line of Samsung products involved in the damages retrial, such as the Nexus 4G smartphone and original Galaxy tablet, have largely been replaced on the U.S. market by newer Samsung smartphones and tablets, but the trial is considered another key test of Apple's claims that its South Korean rival profited from copying original iPhone and iPad technology.
As with the first trial, the jury is highly educated, including a Stanford medical researcher, an emergency room nurse, engineers and a medical lab technician, many of them with homes full of Apple smartphones and tablets, Samsung televisions and phones and a mix of both companies' popular products.
But one juror holds a unique modern distinction: Her family does not have a cellphone of any kind in the house.

2.4-3 Impeachment -- Inconsistent Statements
Revised to November 1, 2008
Evidence has been presented that a witness, <insert name of witness>, made [a] statement[s] outside of court that (is/are) inconsistent with (his/her) trial testimony. You should consider this evidence only as it relates to the credibility of the witness's testimony, not as substantive evidence. In other words, consider such evidence as you would any other evidence of inconsistent conduct in determining the weight to be given to the testimony of the witness in court.
[<Include if appropriate:> The law treats an omission in a prior statement as an inconsistent statement.]
Inconsistencies are not limited to diametrically opposed statements, but include omissions and denials of recollection. State v. Simpson, 286 Conn. 634, 649 (2008).
The court is not required to give a specific instruction concerning inconsistent statements when the inconsistencies are not substantial and do not relate to a material matter. State v. Herring, 55 Conn. App. 522, 526 (1999), cert. denied, 252 Conn. 941 (2000).
If the attorneys have not laid the proper foundation prior to introducing the inconsistent statement, the court may decline to limit the use of the inconsistent statement to impeachment. "Absent a limiting instruction, the jury was free to take the [witness'] prior inconsistent statement as true." (Internal quotation marks omitted.) State v. Stevenson, 53 Conn. App. 551, 560 n.8, cert. denied, 250 Conn. 917 (1999); State v. Correia, 33 Conn. App. 457, 462, cert. denied, 229 Conn. 911, cert. denied, 513 U.S. 898, 115 S.Ct. 253, 130 L.Ed.2d 174 (1994). See Tait's Handbook of Connecticut Evidence § 6.35 (3rd ed. 2001) for a discussion of the foundation necessary to admit inconsistent statements for impeachment purposes.
This instruction should be tailored
to the evidence of the case. See State v. Ramirez, 94 Conn. App. 812,
823-25 (2006) (the court did not improperly marshal the evidence by pointing out
inconsistencies in testimony because it reminded the jury that credibility was
up to them).

All Beans Aren't the Same in Gassy Side Effects
Nov. 23, 2011 -- You might not know a line of Shakespeare, and you might even forget the words to "The Star-Spangled Banner," but this chestnut is a classic to all: "Beans, beans are good for the heart ... the more you eat, the more you ... "
You can finish the rest of the verse yourself, no doubt, but new research suggests that all beans are not created equal when it comes to your risk of flatulence. And even the worst offenders are not as bad as many might think.
Despite the known health benefits of beans and legumes, many people tend to shy away from them because of fears of excessive and embarrassing gas.
The new report analyzed flatulence and stomach distress, including stool changes and bloating, among people in three studies that looked at beans and heart disease risk.
The findings appear in Nutrition Journal.
The people in two of these studies ate either a half cup of pinto beans, black-eyed peas, or baked beans daily for eight weeks. People in the comparison groups of the studies ate canned carrots daily.
In the third study, participants ate either 1/2 cup of pinto beans or a serving of soup in the comparison group for 12 weeks.
Less than half of participants reported increased gas with pinto or baked beans during the first week, and 19% had increased flatulence with black-eyed peas during the first week. About 3% to 11% of participants reported increased flatulence throughout the study period, even if they were eating carrots, not beans.
"People can be made aware that increasing beans in the diet may result in more flatulence initially," writes study researcher Donna M. Winham, DrPH. She is an assistant professor of nutrition at Arizona State University in Phoenix. But "people's concerns about excessive flatulence from eating beans may be exaggerated."
Benefits of Beans
The 2010 U.S. dietary guidelines stress eating legumes several times per week, as they are rich in protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals.
In all three of these studies, there was a significant drop in total cholesterol and LDL "bad" cholesterol. High cholesterol is a significant risk factor for heart disease and stroke.

The Everblades have been on quite a roll lately and last night was no exception.
I'm not going to pretend that my ongoing dislike of the Gladiators isn't part of why I enjoyed the three game sweep of our least favorite divisional rival. Of course, most of my enjoyment comes from the Blades within striking distance of the divisional lead.
Overall, I'd call last night's affair a pretty great game. Aside from some terrible officiating (which I'm beginning to accept is part and parcel with watching an ECHL game) and some terrible sportsmanship (something I've come to accept about the Gladiators), it was a pretty spectacular effort from the boys.
My favorite part of last night was Blades captain Mathieu Roy moving into second place in league wide scoring with his second hat trick in a week. Do you think you can find a more well rounded captain in the ECHL? Because I don't really think that's possible.
Of course, I could have lived without that extended 5 on 3 penalty kill in the first. I'm pretty sure it took at least a year off my life. Of course, my regular consumption of Germain arena concessions over the last couple of season could be more to blame.
Astoundingly, this is the first time I can't say I'm not happy with every players effort. Honestly, I can't recall the last time I made it through a game without thinking somebody was half-assing it. All the players are doing little thing that make a big difference too. Like shot blocking (did you see Merrifield drop Roy style in front of that shot last night? Pretty sure I stopped breathing for a minute) and back checking. It's amazing to see such a huge change.
And since all that effort should be rewarded I'm unveiling my new favorite idea… The Swamp Hockey Three Stars of the Game!
This will be rewarded to the guys who played an amazing game, but didn't score enough to get the medias attention. This is completely subjective and I'm not going to pretend that I won't play favorites (I guess everyone should be glad Bobby Raymond was signed by the Checkers, huh?).
So anyway, here we go:
3. Mike Merrifield: I agree with a lot of other fans that he's made a total 360 and become a hell of a forward.
2. Dan Milan: The new gritty, no-nonsense defenceman thing? Me gusta.
1. Rob Madore: Still not sure how the performance he put in yesterday (or the entire series) wasn't recognized. Some of those saves last night were insane and facing 123 shots (a little less than double what the Gladiators goalie faced) throughout a three game series is even more insane.
I'm also going to award Mike Ratchuk an honary star for continuing to make opposing team defences look like they're mini mites who haven't really figured out the whole skating thing (also, it's his birthday, and people are supposed to give you nice things on your birthday).
Last, but not least, a little roster news. The Blades acquired a defenceman from the Komets today. I think his stats speak for themselves.

Is anyone else having trouble transcoding OGG with version 1.04? I had no problems whatsoever with 1.03. I completely uninstalled 1.03 before installing 1.04. All I get now is "unsupported data type". I have tried all three audio engines. The PS3 reports it as a PCM file and looking at a file's details reports metadata (artist, album, title, etc). It's only when I try to actually play it that it stops working. Nothing has changed in my PC, Network, or PS3 setup. I will try and track down relevant information from the debug.log when I get home from work later today. Thanks.

Fairfield police have released more information after a home invasion in which a 19-year-old was killed.
Police identified the victim as Julian Slaven. They said two men, one armed, entered the home, at 5825 Judy Drive, just before 10:30 p.m. Saturday night demanding cash.
Police said one man shot Slaven before fleeing in a white vehicle. A coroner pronounced Slaven dead at the scene. No one else was hurt.
Police do not know much about the perpetrators at this time. One was white and one was black. Both had their faces covered.
The victim's mother called 911.
The men are still at large. Anyone with information on this deadly shooting is asked to call Crimestoppers at 513-352-3040. Callers can gain cash for clues leading to an arrest.

Taxpayer subsidies to colleges on decline nationwide, with NH leading the way
The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, based in Washington, D.C., released its report Tuesday on a study of the challenge of reinvesting in public higher education systems after years of cuts. In New Hampshire, those cuts were among the deepest in the nation, according to Phil Oliff, a policy analyst and primary author of the report. Oliff held a conference call with reporters from around the nation to explain the findings and the effects of the "severe and very widespread" cuts to higher education funding.

1949 and James Cagney's independent movie production company wasn't faring so well. �Warner Brothers came calling, and he agreed to let them help produce and distribute a movie that they had the rights for and wanted him to star in, White Heat, a film noir and one of my favorites of this kind of film: gangsters, criminals, cops, untrustworthy women, and justice for all at the end.
Cagney plays Cody Jarrett, a criminal leader of a gang. �Cody is married to Verna( Virginia Mayo), his gorgeous and �younger wife. �Also in Cody's life is his �Ma( Margaret Wycherly). �She is the most important person in Cody's life, the one woman he always turns to when he has problems as she can usually come up with good solutions. �She is fully supportive of her son's criminal ways, and when he is hit with those terrible headaches, only Ma can help him through them.
Cody and his gang, living in California, �rob a train, killing the engineer and 3 other railroad employees. � The police eventually close in and track Cody and his gang. �Cody wounds Philip Evans(John Archer) a US �Treasury agent �on the chase to bring down Cody Jarrett. � Cody is tricky and smart, despite his ruthless ways and his psychotic antics, and he knows that an acquaintance has committed a robbery in Chicago �the same day as the train robbery in California. �Cody is able to use the robbery in Chicago as his alibi, claiming he did that crime. �He pleads guilty to that crime and gets 1-3 years in an Illinois state �prison. � Evans knows Cody is lying, so he sends in federal agent Hank Fallon(Edmund O'Brien) to pretend to be a criminal newly arriving at the prison and to be Cody's cellmate. �Fallon is �to try and find out who the "fence" is on the outside, who is Cody sending money to for Ma and Verna and the gang.
Meanwhile, Verna is tolerating Ma, barely, and �spending time with Big Ed(Steve Cochran), one of Cody's gang members. �Big Ed tells Verna that he will one day run the gang and to do that, he has someone on the inside at that Illinois prison who will kill Cody for them. �Then they can be together, and get rid of Ma, too. �Unfortunately Big Ed's plan goes awry, and Fallon sees Cody about to be killed by a prison workplace "accident" and saves Cody in the nick of time!
This film has several memorable scenes and in the prison is one of the best: Cody's complete psychotic �breakdown when he gets the news that Ma has died. �Cagney didn't tell the actors in the scene that his big breakdown was coming and the look on Edmund O'Brien's face is priceless-he is truly shocked and astounded at Cagney's going berserk in the prison cafeteria.
After Cody is hauled off to the prison's infirmary because of �his breakdown, �he sneakily manages a prison breakout, taking Fallon with him. �Cody utterly trusts Fallon, not knowing that Fallon is really a federal agent with the US Treasury Department. �Big Ed learns that Cody is alive and has broken out of jail, and he is very afraid as is Verna. �They try to plan what to do if and when Cody reappears. �It is a great scene when Cody does reappear and confronts Verna, who lies to him about Ma's death. �Big Ed gets his ultimate reward from Cody and then it is off to the next caper, robbing the payroll of a petroleum plant in Long Beach, California.
Cody gets a criminal pal to steal a tanker truck that picks up products from the petroleum plant. �He tells the gang that they will all hide in the truck, like a Trojan Horse, and be driven into the plant. �From there, they'll rob the payroll office, and escape in the truck. �Fallon manages to get a message to Evans and a police ambush is set up at the plant, awaiting Cody and the gang's arrival. �But darn the luck, the driver of the truck recognizes Fallon as an agent who arrested him several years ago!
Fallon manages to escape to the cop side of the oncoming battle at the petroleum plant and �Verna is immediately arrested. �It is now down to a shootout with Cody and his remaining gang members. �The last scene is memorable and Cody's final line, "Made it Ma! �Top of the World!", �is a tribute to great screenwriting, direction, cinematography, special effects, �and acting.
I just can't praise this movie enough. �Yes, some of the characters are horrible people, and you are glad when they get punished. �The acting is so good in this film, and James Cagney is just magnificent as Cody, an �evil criminal with a deep love for his Ma, and those terrible headaches!
White Heat was directed by Raoul Walsh, one of Hollywood's best, and the screenplay was written by Ivan Goff and Ben Roberts. �The story came from Virginia Kellogg. �Max Steiner created the fantastic music that accompanies the action on the screen. �Kellogg, Goff, and Roberts were nominated for Best Screenplay at the 1950 Academy Awards. �In 2003, White Heat was admitted to the National Film Registry and it is in the top 100 of one of those AFI lists.
White Heat isn't available on Netflix, but is available to buy or watch instantly on Amazon. �Tuesday, May 21, at 11:45 a.m. (CST) it will be shown on Turner Classic Movies, so set that dvr!

The winter storm may have brought the skier excitement to a new level while bringing most local ski areas around 2-4 inches of accumulation Saturday, but available terrain remains the same at local ski areas.
Though touting favorable conditions, opening new terrain will require more than what the county has seen from this weather event with Loveland, Arapahoe Basin, Copper, Keystone and Breckenridge holding out on opening additional trails.
"As always, snowmakers are working hard," said Will Bond, marketing and events coordinator for Arapahoe Basin. "This snow should encourage the opening process."
By Saturday afternoon, Arapahoe Basin reported 4 inches of accumulation. The ski area currently offers the High Noon and Ramrod trails and the High Divide terrain park, a total of 20 of the ski area's 960 skiable acres.
Loveland reported 2 inches of accumulation from the storm - the ski area has one lift open with four trails on 79 skiable acres.
Copper Mountain reported 2 inches of accumulation by Saturday afternoon. The ski area has two lifts and four trails open with 55 skiable acres.
Keystone Resort has received 3 inches of snow from Saturday's storm. The ski area has five operating lifts, with four runs and 54 acres of skiable terrain.
"We'll take advantage of the colder temps and make snow around the clock as conditions allow and we'll evaluate additional terrain opening after the conclusion of the storm and weekend," said Laura Parquette, spokeswoman for Keystone Resort. "But it's great to see snow falling!"
Breckenridge, which opened for the season Friday, reported 1 inch of accumulation from the storm. It has two lifts, two runs and 40 acres of skiable terrain open.
According to Dennis Phillips, meteorologist with the National Weather service based in Grand Junction, this weather event is "a pretty strong storm" consisting of two phases with the stronger of the two expected to move through Summit today.
"The first phase passed through Saturday during the day while the main phase was in Utah," Phillips said. "The second phase will bring up to 10 inches of accumulation, depending on elevation."
Cooler temperatures coming with the main phase of the storm will make "snow more efficient, more powdery," Phillips said.
Winds are forecasted to switch from southerly to northerly during the main phase today.
"The winds from the main phase of the storm will favor north-facing slopes, it all depends on where you are but skiing conditions Sunday should be very good," Phillips said.
Though it's possible the storm could continue through Sunday evening, forecasters say the storm will taper off this afternoon.
"The National Weather Service has a Twitter feed set up on this storm and everyone from the Summit County area seems to be pretty excited about getting snow up in the High County," Phillips said.
The weather forecast for Veterans Day calls for a 60 percent chance of snow with cloudy conditions and a high near 24. The wind chill will make the temperatures feel like -5 degrees, with west-northwest wind gusts from 7-22 mph. Snowfall is forecasted to continue through the afternoon, but with less than 3 inches of accumulation possible.
Mostly sunny conditions and highs in the mid-30s are forecasted for early in the week starting Monday and are expected to continue through Wednesday.
Another winter storm is possible Thursday evening - current weather reports forecast a 20 percent chance of snow through Friday.

Apple's Stock Slide Triggers Short-Sale Restrictions
Apple stock drop quickly tripped restrictions on shorting the stock.
Per SEC rules, if a stock tumbles more than 10% during regular trading hours, exchanges must prevent short sales at a price less than or equal to the latest bid to buy the shares. The limits remain in effect the rest of the session and the following day.
The rule is meant to limit the ability of short sellers — who bet a stock will fall — to pile onto a beaten-down security.
But it doesn't prevent all short sales, and "natural" sellers can fire away too.
At Thursday's low, Apple shares were down $63.35, or 12%, to $450.66, the lowest intraday level since Jan. 30, 2012. The stock is on pace for its biggest dollar drop ever, according to WSJ Market Data Group, and its biggest percentage drop since the so-called flash crash on May 6, 2010.
Shares are down 36% from the record high of $702.10 hit on Sept. 19. This year alone, Apple has already declined 15%.

Chinese celery with pressed tofu and homemade spice oil might take a little extra shopping, but trust me, it's well worth the trip.
Some Answers
Readers' comments to my "waiter there's plastic in my soup" piece, were varied and interesting. (I wonder if most people are quite as bold and polite as they say they are. After the fact, everything is easy.)
My feelings remain mixed. But a) I did tell the server immediately, and I didn't think it was my responsibility to then go tell the manager; b) I was the guest of someone else, who didn't care about the charge, so arguing about that seemed far more trouble than it was worth (and anyway, the right thing for the restaurant to do was to comp the meal, for anyone); c) no, I won't go there again; and d) yes, I've told my friends the name of the place.
Ravioli Del Plin
by Edward Schneider
Could filled pasta be the best thing in the world? No: there's music that has it beat, and some would argue that Leonardo's Ginevra de'Benci is better than pierogi. But come dinnertime, I'll take cappelletti over Mozart almost any day.
Jackie and I always yearn for filled pasta, and we sometimes take the time to make it ourselves. A little while ago, during our dill craze, we made some big ol' tortelloni with this filling: a leek and a bunch of Swiss chard thoroughly cooked in olive oil, squeezed dry and finely chopped; a cup of fluffy, dry ricotta from Tonjes at the Union Square Greenmarket; a great deal of chopped dill; grated long-aged parmesan; one egg yolk; and salt and pepper. There was filling left over, and we froze it in a disposable plastic piping bag so that it would be ready for use.
Politics of the Plate
by Barry Estabrook
Jim Crow is Alive and Well in California
SB 1121 was hardly a radical-sounding piece of legislation. Among other things, it would have given California's 700,000 farm workers the right to take one day off out of every seven. Hourly paid agricultural employees would have received overtime pay after eight hours per day or 40 hours per week.
But when the bill landed on Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's desk, he vetoed it, saying that the new provisions would put farmers out of business.
A Comfy Bed For Lobsters
by Daniel Meyer
[Why didn't I think of this? – mb]
If you can get fresh lobsters, chances are that you can also get fresh seaweed. A nice fishmonger should be able to order some for you, or an enterprising mother can just wade into the ocean and bring it home in a bucket. This is exactly the project that my mom decided take on for the 4th of July (I'm only writing about this now because I just had some pretty tasteless lobster and it reminded me how good my mom's was).
I got a phone call from my mom (Anne) at 8:00 on a Friday morning while I was working at the farmers' market. She was calling from the Atlantic Ocean, wading just off the coast of Cape Cod, where she was gathering seaweed for cooking lobsters. She brought it home in a plastic trashcan, and kept it soaking in water for a few days until it was time for her to cook 4th of July dinner.
Some Questions for You
At a midtown restaurant last week, I ordered corn soup.
It was pretty good, except for the pieces of plastic in it. These had the texture of drinking straws, or perhaps shattered plastic fork, or even squid quills – thin, not too sharp, not especially dangerous. They wouldn't have broken a tooth, but they wouldn't have been pleasant to swallow; they certainly were not pleasant to find in my mouth. There were two of them. In about four, maybe five ounces of soup. Which means there were probably quite a few of them in the pot.
I handed them to the server: "You might want to show these to the chef," I said. "They were in the soup." She barely flinched, then proceeded to ignore us for the rest of the meal. (Quite literally: A runner brought our second courses, and she only asked if we wanted coffee after I'd asked for the check.)
Sunday Supper: Fennel and Orange Salad
This week on the Today Show I didn't cook anything (none of the dishes involved any heat, which makes them perfect for Summer). Here's one of the all-time great salads to get you through the dog days. Serve it with some crusty bread and you've got a light meal. Adapted from How to Cook Everything.
Fennel and Orange Salad
Makes: 4 servings
Time: 15 minutes
Among the most underrated vegetables, fennel has celery-like crunch and a widely appealing anise flavor. Combined with orange, it really shines.
1 pound fennel (1 large or two small bulbs)
3 small sweet oranges or tangerines
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime or lemon juice
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro, basil, or chervil leaves
1. Trim and core the fennel and cut it into small cubes, 1/4inch or so, or into thin slices (or shave it super thinly on a mandoline).
2. Squeeze the juice from one of the oranges, pour it over the fennel, add salt and lime juice, and let it sit (for up to several hours) while you prepare the other oranges.
3. Peel the remaining oranges and slice into wheels; then slice in half again, removing any pits and tough, fibrous material. Add the oranges and cilantro to the fennel, toss, taste and adjust the seasoning, and serve.
Cilantro Growers Unite!
by Kerri Conan
Maybe all summer long, gentle costal breezes caress the lush foliage on your cilantro plant. Perhaps you've never seen the stalk suddenly shoot up a tuft of flowers and spindly leaves, signaling it's decided to go to seed. If so, congratulations. For the rest of us—who cuss this natural phenomena and the so-called "slow-bolt" varieties it rode in on—the shock of having a carefully cultivated plant rendered useless literally overnight is enough to make you put parsley in your salsa.
But I say: Embrace the bolt. Grow as much cilantro as the garden will accommodate, savor the leaves for the five minutes they appear in June, and when the flowers bud out, start eating those. When they turn to green seeds, eat those, too. (Their flavor is a perfect blend of the soapy notes from the leaves and the sharp citrus flavors in the seeds; I crush them a bit with the side of a knife then use them the same way I'd use both.) Then at the end of summer, after the plant has been ravaged by heat, insects, disease, and your renaissance appetite, pick through and pluck (or thresh) off the dried, brown coriander seeds to sustain you through winter.
There. Problem solved. Now who's with me?
Beets Not Radishes
by Clotilde Hryshko
The picture is of a bunch of Chioggia beets, destined for Rachel and Shale's house. They are my favorite beet for summertime beets, though not for winter storage. You slice thinly – no peeling! – sauté with garlic, and add a dash of plum vinegar. Serve warm or cold.
But this isn't about beets, except they made a great picture the day my elder daughter, Marya, was helping me with CSA prep. People seeing them for the first time easily mistake them for radishes – unless they look at the leaves.
