The South's largest gourmet specialty food store is coming to Coleman Boulevard late this summer.
This is no grocery store, this is a specialty food store, complete with a restaurant, a cooking school and a gift store.
It's the first of its kind in Mount Pleasant, and with the opening of this concept store, comes a new resident - Marilyn Markel who is a James Beard Cookbook judge. She will head the cooking school.
In an interview with the Moultrie News last week, she said that she will be running the culinary school for Southern Season. She will create and host two hour classes geared toward the home cook.
Southern Season has in-house teachers, and Markel will recruit local restaurants, caterers and chefs who want to teach. Markel will also bring in national culinary teachers.
Every Thursday Southern Season will host a casual wine tasting with a fixed price that pairs cheeses. Attendees can try five to six wines for just $15. And also the store's gourmet restaurant will show this town that they know local by hosting oyster roasts on the huge new patio being built out back.
"The space can accommodate big roasts and it's a beautiful spot with lots of natural trees and broad shade," Markel said.
And as far as the store itself is concerned, "anyone semi interested in cooking will be interested in this store," said Markel.
The store carries sables and luxury chartreuse as well as fresh meat offerings like trout. Southern Season is not just a daily place to shop but a great gift shop or a place to stop and buy lunch for a day at the beach,
In addition, this 44,000 square foot culinary mecca of the South will house more than 70,000 local and international gourmet food and food related products including: hard to find food products from around the world, including a large number from South Carolina; cooking equipment and gadgets of all varieties; over 3,000 upscale wines and more than 300 craft beer selections; over 380 varietals of artisanal and farmstead cheeses; an impressive floral department with flowers from all over the world; an extensive gourmet chocolate selection complete with house-made chocolates and truffles; the finest candy and confectioners collection; over 200 hand-selected quality coffee and rare loose tea varietals; and a complimentary concierge service of knowledgeable professionals that can help facilitate any shopping needs as well as assemble gourmet gift baskets for any occasion. Additionally, a new bridal registry service is available in the store and online.
Markel has extensive experience with culinary instruction, having begun her career at Central Market eventually moving to Chapel Hill where Southern Season was located to run their cooking school.
Markel will run all of the chain's culinary schools, but since Charleston is a food destination, she'll call the Lowcountry home.
"We will have hands-on and demonstration classes. From learning basic knife skills to a girls night out where you learn to make tacos, the classes are educational and fun.
"The subject matter for each class will vary and a lot of different ethnic classes will be held," she explained.
Markel said that demonstration classes are for watching only but the audio visual is so great that attendees can see everything that is being done and they can eat each course paired with the appropriate wine. "You get dinner and a show," she said. "And you get to take home the recipe."
Other specific classes that have been extremely success at other stores are sushi making classes and biscuit making classes.
And in staying with the local theme, chefs from the area's favorite restaurants will be invited in for demonstration classes, she added.
Dining options at Southern Season include a gourmet marketplace, bakery and deli offering a wide variety of prepared foods ideal for lunch or dinner that can be picked-up, eaten at the café or delivered. Guests looking to experience full service can dine at Southerly Restaurant and Patio – a fine-dining restaurant and bar adjacent to the store.
With seating capacity for 350 guests and the option to eat in the open-air patio, Southerly serves breakfast, lunch and dinner menus that highlight locally sourced products and produce. Additionally, Southerly offers full catering services, on- or off-site, for all occasions. Southerly's space can be utilized for private events such as corporate functions, family celebrations and rehearsal dinners.
The flagship Southern Season, located in Chapel Hill, N.C., has been in operation since 1975 and has won more than 50 awards including Outstanding Retailer of the Year from the National Association for Specialty Food and the Retail Achievement Award from Gourmet News for its success in the area of food education.
In addition to Markel, the Mount Pleasant team will be comprised of manager Britt Johnson, a Mount Pleasant resident, who has more than 20 years retail management experience at Williams Sonoma and executive chef Chad Billings who will lead the Southerly team.
Southern Season's Share the Food non-profit foundation, a program that fights hunger and poverty in local areas, will be a forefront of the Mount Pleasant store.
Through annual grants to local organizations from the money raised by special sales, events and in-store donations throughout the year, Share the Food provides food, education and nutrition to help promote a healthy lifestyle for the underprivileged.

5 Cover Songs That Stole the Show from the Originals
No, not Monopoly: I'm talking about the Stolen Cover Songs Game. The point is to think of a cover song that just completely stole the show from the original artist, not necessarily because of its quality, or arrangement, or performance, but because the cover has an intangible something that more fully embodies what the song should have been. To see if you're on the right track, just pick a cover song and look up its YouTube video: Do the comments consist solely of arguments about which is the better version, interspersed with the most hateful, vitriolic bile human beings have ever spewed at one other?
If so, congratulations! You're on the right track.
#5. "Common People": Ben Folds and William Shatner Stole It From Pulp
The original version by British rock band Pulp is catchy, biting and satirical, but it's also kind of hiply aloof. And it really shouldn't be. The soft, airy instrumentals and Cocker's soothing, effete vocals still make the song seem like a condemnation, sure; but it's a half-hearted, almost fond one. That's not in line with the soul of the piece: "Common People" is about lower class rage at the poverty-tourism of hip young rich kids, and yet the wry, clever delivery and synth-pop sensibilities make the original come off more like a pretentious hipster damning the new scenesters who just don't know that Dante's is so over now, rather than the jaded diatribe of a working stiff finally sticking one to a rich girl.
I know this is going to sound ridiculous, impossible, and insane -- this sounds like somebody accidentally transcribed a drunken bet on the back of a sheet of Mad Libs and the ink bled through -- but Ben Folds and William Shatner made a fantastic album together, called Has Been. It's a bizarre orgy of conflicting priorities, equal parts beat poetry, punk rock and midlife crisis. And there is a fucking amazing cover of "Common People" on there. William Shatner delivers the vocals in every way Cocker didn't: He's artless, forthright and furious. The cover is all driving guitars and Cockney screaming while Shatner whiskey-slurs a devastating tirade to an inappropriately young girl whom he wants to bang almost as much as he wants to murder and leave in a river.
You play Pulp's version of "Common People" for that rich girl who keeps coming to your punk house, and she'll take it as kind of a backhanded compliment. She'll think it's cool "that you thought of her at all, you know?" Play Shatner's version for her, and she'll kick you in the nuts and run sobbing back out to her Jetta.
They always have Jettas.
#4. "No One's Gonna Love You": Cee Lo Green Stole It From Band of Horses
I don't want to talk smack about any band; that's not what this game is about. These cover songs aren't objectively better than the originals, and the artists are not superior musicians for having stolen them. It's all just a matter of finding the secret intent in a piece and who can best bring it out.
But that being said: Fuck Band of Horses.
To me, their music sounds like anemic, lifeless heroin wraiths who wake sporadically to strum a guitar for 30 seconds before falling back into a nod. I've never actually made it all the way through this song; I always switch it off after a minute because it's like listening to Paul Simon doing ads for The Gap.
Remember the '80s? The best parts of that decade, admittedly scattered few and far between the neon plastic skateboards and cocaine hair, were the moments when we realized, as a culture, that it was OK to be earnest. To just believe in a thing wholly, without reserve, and put everything you have into it. Steve Perry may have looked like somebody molested a Pee Wee hockey game, got it pregnant and inexplicably decided to keep the baby, but he sung the holy shit out of whatever he performed, and that was kind of awesome.
That's what's happening in this cover: It's so shamelessly, cheesily, ridiculously overdramatic that it circumnavigates all the way around Lame and lands back on the border of Amazing. Cee Lo absolutely killed this song, and I don't mean that in the sense that he "nailed it." No, he somehow reached into the air and wrapped his hands around the intangible concept of "song" and strangled until it stopped kicking.
#3. "The Man Who Sold the World": Nirvana Stole It From David Bowie
Bowie's "The Man Who Sold the World" is like literally everything else Bowie does -- from albums to bowel movements -- equal parts technically impressive and strangely magical. Musically, it's a warped space calypso where somebody has the balls to use a guiro -- a motherfuckin' guiro! -- and actually pulls it off. Lyrically, it's a vignette about a man meeting either his future self or some kind of pod person and trying to reconcile the man he's become with the man he is. Or else it's about aliens. That's always a safe Bowie-bet: If you don't understand something, aliens did it.
Possibly because they were on alien drugs.
Oh, god, unclench. I can feel your sphincters tightening with indignant rage through the Internet. It's practically audible. Gross.
But remember: This isn't necessarily "cover songs that did it better than the original" or "cover bands that were better performers." This is just "covers that more fully embody the spirit of the song." In this case, it's not that Nirvana did a better job than Bowie at ... well, at pretty much anything in their lives. Nirvana had a huge impact on my teenage years, and I still like them to this day, but they're no Bowie, because ain't nobody is no motherfucking Bowie. You play the Goblin King, you stay the Goblin King. Nobody can step to that.
But you have to admit that Kurt Cobain's sulking, weary acoustic performance of "Man who Sold The World" more perfectly embodied the apathetic, depressed and beaten soul of the piece. It was a song about being a sell-out; about this crushed, jaded man-thing who's probably going to throw himself down that stairway when he reaches the top. Bowie's version has a weird but ultimately refined, very British kind of sadness to it. When the song finished, you got the feeling Bowie was going to shed one single, repressed tear into his goblet of Rare Tibetan Eagle Wine. In Nirvana's version, it sounds like bookies are taking odds on which verse suicide is going to knock Cobain out during -- and Kurt's up there trying to throw the fight.
Besides, if the contest is all about embodying the soul of the song -- and the soul of this song is disillusionment, self-hatred and despair -- maybe you should just cede this one to the guy who actually committed suicide and go back to dick-painting supermodels with goldleaf, David Bowie.

MOUNT PLEASANT — The town's mayor-elect probably would be someone else if it weren't for an outdated bridge a half century ago.
In 1959, Linda Page was 6 weeks old when her parents and older brothers were moving their mobile home south from Virginia on U.S. Highway 17.
They stopped for gas here when someone questioned whether their vehicle could make it across the old, narrow Grace Bridge.
"My dad said, infamously, 'What bridge?'"
Unable to cross the Cooper River there, the family instead found a trailer park and settled in. They eventually made friends, opened a business, bought a house and sank roots deep into the Lowcountry's sand and pluff mud.
"I suppose we're gypsies in some other life," Page said. "How lucky to get stuck in Mount Pleasant."
Page, 54, who will be sworn in as mayor Tuesday, said she is determined to make her hometown an even better place to live and do business, starting by continuing the collegial and largely noncontroversial way the mayor and eight-member Town Council decide things.
"I think that's the first key — to unify my council and understand their visions and give them the opportunity to serve in their highest capacity," she said. "I want to prove myself in the next four years."
A change of plans
Page describes her late father as a "great wheeler-dealer," a true bargain hunter who paid only $5,000 for her first childhood home on the front beach of Sullivan's Island. The only catch: It was a former concrete water treatment building with no windows.
"It was godforsaken," she said. It seemed that way, at least until she stepped outside. "Literally, my front yard was the beach, the ocean and the tidal pools."
In 1964 her family founded Page's Thieves Market, a name her father Carl stole from an Alexandria, Va., antiques store, and one that conjured up an image of the fictional Ali Baba. The store sold old furniture, appliances and mattresses inside an unheated former lumber warehouse and sawmill on Ben Sawyer Boulevard.
The family eventually moved to a larger home in Mount Pleasant. Page went to Whitesides Elementary and Wando High School. She then left for the University of South Carolina with plans to become a lawyer, but returned home when her parents got sick. Carl and Maxine Page both died in 1981.
"It's hard to lose your parents young," she said, "but it makes you strong."
Page settled in and helped grow the family business. Fifteen years ago she went to Indiana University and studied to become an auctioneer, which is now a big part of her business. Her oldest brother Mike branched out to run the Hungryneck Antique Mall, while her other brother Tony runs Page's Okra Grill.
Her profile also would rise as she dabbled in talk radio, hosting "The Linda Page Auction and Adventure Hour" on WTMA-AM. She said she tried to be a serious journalist — the "voice of reason" compared to her brother Mike — but she jokes that her success on that front was mixed.
"I ended up talking a lot about pimento cheese," she said.
Testing political waters
Page said women often run for office for a specific reason, to fix something or deal with some issue.
She ran for Town Council in 2009 because she was concerned about how the town's government would fare after the resignation of longtime town administrator Mac Burdette.
"He had been there for 20 years. I love Mac Burdette. I never had any problem dealing with the town."
She wrote herself a check for $500 and didn't spend that much, or the single $50 unsolicited contribution she received from former Gov. James Edwards' wife Ann. Instead, she worked on preparing a few good speeches that she would deliver to anyone who asked for them.
She still remembers when The Post and Courier called her on election night in 2009 and told her she had received the most votes of the 19 council candidates.
"I said, 'You're kidding me! That's awesome!'"
"I'm very competitive," she added. "Sometimes, I cheat at board games. I need to win. My family won't play with me."
In her four years on council she developed a reputation for doing her homework and having an open mind. She served on the Charleston Area Regional Transportation Authority and also pushed to eliminate the need to pay to park at the town's new Waterfront Memorial Park.
"I love research. I love to study. I love learning things that are new," she said. "I've learned about planning and zoning and the bid process and municipal financing and more about public transportation than I ever thought I'd know."
Aiming for mayor
Page figured she would try to run for mayor in 2017, when Billy Swails originally was expected to step down.
So she spent part of this summer competing in an international auctioneer competition in Indianapolis, where she was judged on her poise, speed, accuracy and appearance. As part of her preparation, the businesswoman who feels most comfortable in blue jeans went online to buy two business suits, one gray and one black.
Weeks later, Swails called her and a few others to surprise them with the news that he wouldn't seek a second term this year.
"When Billy said he wasn't going to run, I said, 'At least I've got two suits!'" Page said. "That was in the back of my mind — they're really nice suits."
Mark Hartley, a former Charleston County GOP chairman and College of Charleston professor, was not surprised that Page was the first to announce — or that she won by a such a large margin — 57 percent in a five-way race.
Hartley ran Swails' 2009 campaign and helped the late Mayor Harry Hallman before that, and he conducted a poll this summer showing Swails had smooth sailing to a second term.
But that poll also measured the popularity of other potential candidates, and it showed Page had a 44 percent favorable rating, compared to only 4 percent negative.
"It's just impossible to get numbers that high," he said, adding that they dwarfed those of her other competitors. That poll was circulated among political insiders and was one reason many of them expected her to cruise to victory Tuesday.
Leigh Ford has worked at Page's Thieves Market for about 10 years and has seen her boss give away items to those in need, a quiet form of philanthropy that Page didn't mention much, if at all, on the campaign trail.
"She's given and given," Ford said. "I knew she'd win this election."
Page's triumph came even as she's been dealing with a family crisis. On Sept. 26, when her son Andy suffered a spinal cord injury while cutting down a tree. He remains partially paralyzed and is being cared for at Atlanta's Shepherd Center hospital.
Hartley, who had known Page for years because of his interest in auctions, said another key to Page's success was how she brings people together. For instance, Mount Pleasant lawyer and transit advocate William Hamilton, who has a reputation as one of the Lowcountry's most liberal figures, worked with Hartley, a former county Republican chairman, to get Page elected.
"We've never been on the same team, and all of a sudden we were on the same team," Hartley said. "You had folks from everybody under the sun helping her."
What's next
Page said her election victory was a sign that Mount Pleasant voters are pleased with their town, and an exit poll seemed to back her up.
Asked about the town's quality of life on a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being the best, those polled Tuesday ranked the town at 8.8. They also were more satisfied with their town's government than with their county, state or federal governments.
The exit poll, done by students from the University School of the Lowcountry in Mount Pleasant, accurately predicted the town's election results within just a few percentage points.
"We knew at the beginning of the race that the majority of the people who live here are happy," Page said. "We have such a great quality of life and a wonderful community. ... I think the people who came out today to vote for me want it to be even greater."
And that survey also showed seven of 10 town voters would like to see Mount Pleasant's mayor be a full-time job, like in Charleston and North Charleston. If Columbia voters also decide to switch to a strong-mayor form of government next month, that would leave Mount Pleasant as South Carolina's largest municipality without that form.
Page called Eric DeMoura "the best town administrator in the state of South Carolina," yet she said she would favor asking town voters in 2015 if they want to change to a strong-mayor form of government.
"That's a voter issue, not mine," she said. "It will become a conversation with the new council, not myself. I like the form of government we have now. We'll see."
Swails said Page will succeed because she's well prepared, well read and works hard.

5 Things They Never Told Us
Given the opportunity, there are probably a lot of tiny, superficial things you say to your fourteen-year-old self, (Get a haircut; Stop being a smartass; Maybe try not masturbating for, like, a night, and see what that does to the amount of free time you have). Small things you wish you'd known, because they would've made middle school, high school and whatever comes after slightly easier.
There are also much bigger things, things about life and growing up that someone damn sure should've told you about.
You Don't Become An Adult, You Just Suddenly Are One
When I was younger and looked that I considered to be adults, I had a number of various feelings, depending on who I was looking at. Respect and awe, for those who seemed to know everything. Contempt, for some authority figures with whom I had a whole lot of pointless, adolescent trouble. Pity, for the few who, to me, "just didn't get it and never would, man." Even though my specific opinions changed from person to person, they all fell under the same umbrella of characterization: this person is an Adult. Some are worse than others, but they're all in the same general class of Adulthood, they all know how the world works, they've all undergone whatever fundamental change one eventually undergoes when one becomes an Adult, and they're all operating on a much different level from me and everyone I knew. They've taken the test, or they've seen the light or whatever it is you do when you get promoted from being just a dude to being a Man.
Certainly you're not an adult, because you're just wandering around, still trying to figure out how life works as you go along.
The Reality
There's no test, there's no light, and there's no tangible event that signifies the transition into adulthood. You don't enter an organization of adulthood. There's not, like, a guy hanging around at your college graduation who comes up to you and says "Now that you're an adult, here's all of our secret knowledge about existence, and how to live as a functioning human outside of the school system."
"Since you've graduated I can legally give you this box, which is just FULL of all of the rules that govern life and existence."
There's no class or test or paperwork to sign. One day you just realize you're a person who pays bills. You're a person who signs up for a club card at your local grocery store because, "Oh, I might as well, I'm there so often." You're a person who gradually is getting less and less familiar with whatever's going on in pop music. You can vote and rent a car and get married and have kids, and it's not weird, it's normal.
You're an adult, and no one told you.
And you don't fundamentally change as a result of this realization. You don't gain new knowledge. You don't feel like an adult, you don't have everything under control. You're still dumb. You're still the guy who, a few years ago, was probably sleeping in a full bathtub in college, because you were out of blankets in your dorm room and it seemed like the only logical way to stay warm through the night and, yes, that is a thing that I did. You're the exact same person, except suddenly society has thrust you into the Adult category.
You wear and look awful in suits.
Remember when you were a kid and you saw adults as all-knowing authority figures who had shit figured out? As the people who were allowed to tell you what to do and make rules, because they were the ones who were running the world? That's what kids think when they see you, even though you're an idiot.
Getting married doesn't mean you change as a person and instantly gain a bunch of previously concealed knowledge about life. You get more responsibilities when you have a kid but, really, you're still the exact same person you always were. Because, here's the thing, no one makes you take a test or fill out a form to have a baby, you just have one. You can do that right now, and then you'd be a parent. Your parents never went to parenting school or passed a series of complex physical challenges, they just had you.
The state will just let you have a baby tomorrow, no questions asked. Hell, if you want a gun in California, you have to fill out an application, take a safety test, sign three forms, and then wait ten days, and after all that they might not even GIVE you one if you've got a history of mental instability. Meanwhile, you are legally free to make your own baby army, this second, because that is a thing adults do, and adult is a thing that you are. You don't have to take a test or sign any paperwork to have a baby, you can just make one.
As great as your parents were/are, and as much as they seemed to have it all figured out, you might be shocked to discover that they were making it up as they went along. Just like you.
Almost Everything You're Doing is Absolutely Meaningless
Middle School's important. High School's important. You need to do well in High School to get into a good College, and then you need to do well in College or... or something something something, your life will be terrible. I was never clear on the specifics, I just knew that there was a direct correlation between my GPA and my total cumulative happiness for the rest of my life. A higher GPA means the best people will hire you, having "Summa Cum Laude" written on your diploma will make women more attracted to you, getting a 1500 on your SATs will make you less fat, etc. The Dean's List must be important to your future, or why would it exist? Surely someone down the line will be impressed to know that you made it all four years, right?
The Reality
The only skills you really need to learn in high school and college are how to socialize and be a functioning human in society, because that's the only thing you'll be consistently doing for the rest of your life. It's a really strange system, because when you graduate college, no matter what you studied, the only thing you're really good at is being a student, because that's the only thing you've been doing regularly for 22 years. Studying, memorizing stuff, being able to eloquently bullshit about literary theory- You've got that shit down. The weird thing is that every skill you've mastered as a student? No one will ever ask you to use them again.
"Okay, the new clients are going to be here in an hour, I need one of you to write a five page report on Beowulf through the lens of Feminist Theory."
College is important, but what you study? Not so much. Focus on learning how to be a human, and focus on networking and meeting the right people, because they are much better at hiring you than your GPA is. Professors and Deans and your parents will stress that your grades are important, but I guarantee you that, as long as they were good at their job, no one in the history of time has ever been fired because of their GPA.
I'm slowly starting to realize that there's very little connection between whatever people majored in and what they end up doing, (apart from obvious specialized fields like medicine and engineering and so forth). And I might be wrong, because I'm an idiot, (see entry: 1), but I'm only going on personal experience. There are five full-time Editors at Cracked.com. At one point in all of our time here, we've all had basically the same job, (writing, editing, managing writers, maintaining a stable of sexually daring women, counting our giant money piles, etc). Of this group of Editors, there is not one instance of overlap in terms of what was studied in college. Same site, same job, but no two people graduated with the same major. We all ended up here not because we studied [X] while we were in college, but because writing and editing articles for a comedy website appealed to all of us, even though that particular class wasn't offered in school.
We've also never compared GPAs. Why the hell would we?
You'll Never Have as Much Time, Energy, Or Excuses For Doing Dumb Shit Than When You're 14
"Being in high school sucks, you're stuck in a classroom all day, and things are boring and everyone smells bad and puberty's uncomfortable and boners all the time and this is the worst thing ever."
The Reality
If there is one thing I could tell myself at 14, it would be the title of this entry. Because it's true. At 14, you're not legally allowed to work in most states, school is a pointless breeze and you have nothing to be stressed about because you're not paying bills or fighting in a war and no one depends on you for anything. You just have boundless energy, and a stupid amount of free time and no accountability whatsoever. Please don't waste it sleeping in class or dicking around because, in a few years, you won't have time, and a few years after that you'll have even less time, and a few years after that you'll have no time, no energy, and almost everything will hurt in uniquely humiliating ways. You'll stop thinking "Do I feel like doing this fun, stupid thing," and you'll start thinking "I want to do this fun, stupid thing, but I'm also worried about what kind of impact staying up so late is going to have on my delicate sleep schedule."
I don't mean this to be one of those whiny, "Youth is wasted on the young" articles. Don't get me wrong- growing up is the best. Last Tuesday at midnight, I drove to a grocery store and purchased and ate an entire family-sized bag of those Twizzler Bites that I like because I fucking dare you to stop me. No one's arguing that life, in general, gets more awesome the older you get, (and, while you have more time for fun at 14, you're certainly much better at fun when you're 24). I just feel like instead of trying to prepare our 14-year-olds for high school and college and life, we should feel obligated as humans to let them know they have a window in which to do ridiculously stupid things for a year, and that window will never reopen again. Teachers know that 14 is the last age of socially acceptable stupidity, so why are we even trying to give kids any kind of structure?
Look, I know being a teen is the most difficult and misunderstood thing in the world, but for fuck's sake steal a car or climb a mountain or something.
Sure, you'll trade youthful energy for money, the ability to drive a car, and experienced, thoughtful boning, but at 14, you can go for days without sleeping and you can eat McDonalds burgers by the fistful because human metabolisms develops in a karmically unjust way, and soon that'll go away forever.
Oh, that reminds me.

on January 2, 2013 - 12:18 AM
, updated January 2, 2013 at 1:47 AM
WASHINGTON – The nation averted an economy-crushing combination of tax hikes and spending cuts late Tuesday when the House overwhelmingly approved legislation pushing the nation back from the brink of the "fiscal cliff."
By a 257-167 vote, the House approved legislation that the Senate had approved about 21 hours earlier to repeal tax increases on most American taxpayers that took effect automatically at the turn of the new year.
An unusual coalition consisting of most House Democrats and a few dozen Republicans pushed the measure to passage in the GOP-controlled House – which, for years, had refused to consider legislation that a majority of Republicans did not support.
The vote not only split the Republican caucus, it also split the GOP leadership. House Speaker John A. Boehner, R-Ohio, and Budget Committee Chairman Paul D. Ryan, R-Wis., voted for the measure. House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., and Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., voted against it.
But the measure came as a big victory for President Obama, who campaigned for re-election calling for higher taxes on the wealthy, a key element of the bill.
"Under this law, more than 98 percent of Americans and 97 percent of small businesses will not see their income taxes go up," Obama said in a late-night appearance at the White House after the bill passed.
The House vote came after a dramatic day of waiting and strategizing for the GOP majority, which ended with a simple recognition of reality.
"I was disappointed that the bill doesn't deal with the debt and spending crisis in America, but that will have to wait for another day," said Rep. Tom Reed, R-Corning, who voted for the bill.
"The upside of this is that it cuts taxes for 99 percent of the people in my district."
The measure came to the floor for a vote after the Republican leadership failed to win enough support for an amendment that would have added spending cuts to the legislation.
That amendment was an attempt to satisfy many House Republicans who complained that the Senate bill was yet another tax-and-spend measure.
"We're taking up a bill that will not do anything to cut spending," said Rep. Louis Goehmert, R-Texas.
"I'm embarrassed."
Cantor said he, too, was uncomfortable with the measure.
"I do not support the bill," Cantor told reporters.
"We are looking, though, for the best path forward."
That path at first seemed likely to feature a spending-cut amendment, but enthusiasm for that addition faded amid signs that the Senate would not reconsider the bill if the House were to change it – meaning that the bill would die and that the nation would fall off the fiscal cliff.
What's more, the 112th Congress was running out of time to solve the fiscal cliff problem.
The old Congress ends and the next one begins at noon Thursday.
If no deal had been passed by then, the Senate bill would have died and new fiscal cliff legislation would have to be passed by the new Congress, which will feature a larger Democratic majority in the Senate and a smaller GOP majority in the House.
"I was open to a [spending cut] amendment," said Reed, a member of the tax-writing Ways and Means Committee. "But in the end I just came to the realization that we're out of time, and we need to govern."
For their part, House Democratic leaders voiced their support for the Senate bill.
"I think that we've made gigantic progress and I hope we can have a bipartisan agreement as we move forward," said House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.
The day of dramatic waiting in the House followed a 2 a.m., 89-8 vote Senate vote Tuesday in favor of a fiscal cliff deal hammered out by Vice President Biden and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.
That deal will keep tax rates steady for most Americans, while increasing the rate on individual income of more than $400,000 and household income of more than $450,000.
The tax rate on those incomes will rise to 39.6 percent, from the current 35 percent.
At the same time, though, all taxpayers will have to pay higher payroll taxes under the deal. A two-year, 2-percentage point reduction in the payroll tax was allowed to expire, boosting the rate back up to 6.2 percent.
In addition, the deal boosts the tax rate on dividends and capital gains from 15 percent to 20 percent for upper-income earners, preserves the child tax credit and a credit for college tuition, and fixes the alternative minimum tax so that 30 million Americans won't have to pay it.
The bill also extends unemployment benefits for 2 million Americans, preserves Medicare payments for doctors, and fixes federal dairy policy to prevent a sudden spike in milk prices.
Even though the bill included all those popular measures, it found little love among members of either party.
"Virtually no one believes what we have before us tonight is a long-term solution" to the nation's fiscal problems, said Rep. David Dreier, R-Calif.
Rep. Brian Higgins, D-Buffalo, supported the bill, as did Rep. Kathleen C. Hochul, D-Hamburg, who said it's "disgraceful" that it took Congress until New Year's Day to pass it.
"I'm voting for it to put this behind us and so that we can allow the markets to open tomorrow without the sword of Damocles of a new recession hanging over us," she said.
In addition to saving most Americans from dramatic income tax hikes, the bill also puts off for two months a series of draconian spending cuts that most lawmakers wanted to avoid. Equally split between defense and domestic programs, those cuts add up to $1.2 trillion over 10 years, including $109 billion this year.
But in delaying those cuts, the fiscal cliff legislation sets the stage for Congress to again consider those budget reductions at the same time, as it will have to vote on raising the federal debt ceiling as well as a six-month spending bill for the rest of fiscal 2013.
That being the case, "the legislation before me is no great victory," said Rep. Louise M. Slaughter, D-Fairport, who supported the measure. "It's only a partial answer to a much larger problem, and it sets the nation up for another fiscal showdown in mere months."

Altoona 132-pounder D.J. Hollingshead and 138-pounder T.J. Brandt have been a lethal combination in the Mountain Lions' lineup, and it's been hard for opposing teams to duck them because they both have moved up or down to get the best competition.
Well, now there's no ducking either one of them.
Both enter the District 6 Class AAA Tournament as No. 1 seeds and heavy favorites to leave the Altoona Fieldhouse as district champions. As everybody should know by now, Brandt is looking to become the first Altoona wrestler to win four District 6 titles. Hollingshead, a sophomore, is going after his first after finishing second at 120 last season.

Hollidaysburg's Matt Barton (left) and Altoona's Austin Rosenberry will compete this weekend at the District 6 Class AAA championships with a trip to the regional round on the line at the Altoona Fieldhouse.
Mirror photo by Gary M. Baranec
Altoona's Markief Knode wrestles Richland's Nico Pecora during the Sheetz Wrestling Classic in?December. Knode is seeded second this weekend.
Hollingshead (28-3) and Brandt (23-3) are a combined 51-6, and they're undefeated within the district. In fact, some of their best competition comes when they wrestle each other.
"They both push each other when they live wrestle," Altoona coach Joel Gilbert said. "They're phenomenal matches. It's great for the boys to watch them wrestle. That's the way it's supposed to be.
"I believe both of them have a great opportunity to win. As long as they go out and wrestle their style, I think they should win their weight class."
For Altoona, Hollidaysburg, Philipsburg-Osceola and the rest of the nine-team field, the tournament begins at 5:30 p.m. Friday. The preliminaries, quarterfinals and a consolation round will be wrestled on the first day. Wrestling resumes at 11 a.m. Saturday with the semifinals. The third and fifth-place consolation finals are scheduled for 5 p.m., and the championship finals will follow at 7.
The top four at every weight class advance to the Northwest Regional Tournament next week at the Fieldhouse.
For Brandt, this will be his crowning glory. Okay, he has his sights set on further down the postseason road, but his chance to become the first Altoona four-timer and 19th wrestler in the 75-year history of the district tournament to win four is pretty compelling.
"I just hope that the community and the students come out and support our kids, and hopefully they're there to see history being made this weekend," Gilbert said.
Hollidaysburg 106-pounder Damian Huff (18-2) is the other area No. 1 seed. Huff, who finished fourth at the same weight last year, could be opposite Bellefonte's Luke Leathers (20-5) in the finals, and it would be the first time they've wrestled this season.
"Huff's ready," Hollidaysburg coach Mike Moore said. "He's chomping at the bit. He can't wait for this weekend to get here."
Moore's other likely finalist, second-seeded 285-pounder Matt Barton (22-3), will probably have to tangle with Altoona's Austin Rosenberry in the semifinals. Barton has beaten Rosenberry twice this season, and he earned a 6-2 win over him the consolation finals last season. If the pattern continues, Barton would get Bellefonte's top-seeded and returning runner-up Garrett Poorman (26-4).
"We've got to change some things up with him," Moore said of a potential Poorman bout. "He's wrestled him 10 times or so in their career, and it's been the same outcome. As far as I'm concerned, Matt is just as good as him."
P-O has three No. 2 seeds in Brian Evans (126), Caleb Shively (138) and Jay Prentice (170), and it would had a fourth had Andrew Greenawalt not suffered a meniscus tear in his knee joint in phys-ed class last Friday. He wrestled against Hollidaysburg that night, but his knee locked up later.
Evans, Shively, Prentice and Nick Gray, who is seeded fourth at 220, are also returning fourth-placers and Northwest Regional qualifiers.
"It's tough to be optimistic going into the districts when you've got five starters out of the lineup injured," P-O coach Tim McCamley said glumly. "But, we've still got 12 kids going to districts, and we've got to focus on the positives. It's tough when a couple of those kids are senior leaders."
Altoona's No. 2 seeds, Markief Knode (160) and Mante Barnes (195),will look to join Hollingshead and Brandt in the finals. Knode is a returning fourth-placer.
"I think we're ready to go," Gilbert said. "I've got a lot of seniors. It's their last time around. Everybody is healthy and ready to go. We've had a few weeks to prepare, and I'm looking forward to them going out and showing what they're all about. I believe we have a lot of guys who have an opportunity to win this tournament, so hopefully it comes true for them."
"I think the kids are excited," Moore said. "We had a great week of practice. We wrestled Friday night [against P-O] and Saturday night [against Shikellamy], and we had a lot of energy in those matches. We'll see how it all shakes out."
Notes: Bald Eagle Area's Jake Taylor is going for his third district title. ... Bellefonte's Trevor Corl, Nick Shawley are returning champs, and Shawley was the Outstanding Wrestler last season, and BEA's Travis Giedroc was a 2011 champ.

The effort moved Caudill to 7-0, gave him 94 strikeouts and lowered his ERA from 0.19 to 0.16. More importantly to the Tigers, he helped Seneca East improve to 19-1 overall and 8-0 in the MAL.
All other league teams have at least two MAL losses, so the Tigers can wrap up the outright title by beating either St. Wendelin at home Monday or Hopewell-Loudon on the road May 16.
Lakota (7-10, 3-4) nearly made the final MAL title a battle to the end between Calvert, New Riegel and Hopewell-Loudon, who each have two league losses, and Seneca East.
Alex Scheiber and Caudill singled in the top of the third for Lakota, with Mason McWilliams doubling in Scheiber and Caudill scoring on an error.
The Raiders cut the deficit to 2-1 when Casey Monroe singled and came home in the bottom of the frame on an error.
Neither team scored again.
Seneca East had just three more baserunners, none of whom got past first. Meanwhile, Lakota's Josh Mason singled and was left stranded at second in the fourth and Dakota Gilbert singled in the sixth and eventually reached third before being left there.
Braden Nagel also singled for Seneca East.
Monroe took the loss for the Raiders.
Warriors get around Senecas
Derrick Sowers knocked in the go-ahead runs in the top of the seventh and Calvert left runners stranded at first and second in the bottom of the frame Wednesday as Mohawk pulled out a come-from-behind 3-1 Midland Athletic League win.
Calvert snapped a scoreless tie in the sixth. Austin Prenzlin led off with a single, went to second on a walk and stole third before scoring on Jacob Vera's sac fly.
The Senecas might have had more that inning, but Sam Shelt-Palm, whose walk put Prenzlin on second, was gunned down at first after Prenzlin's steal.
A pop up ended the inning, and then the Warriors (8-11, 4-3 MAL) went to work.
Jacob Jeffrey singled, went to second on Jacob McMillion's sac bunt and scored when David Dietrich reached on an error.
Austin Shock followed with a walk, and he and Dietrich both scored on Sowers' hit.
Drew Ritzler led off the bottom of the seventh with a single and Peyton Deats drew a two-out walk, but Mohawk pitcher Austin Harper got Bailey Hickman to fly out to left to end the game.
Devon Fredritz and Grant Gucker each added a single for Mohawk.
Deats (5-2) fanned eight, but took the loss.
Bucks jump on miscue
NEW WASHINGTON - Mike Blackford scored the game-winner in the bottom of the eighth when Austin Lutz reached on an error Wednesday as Buckeye Central upended Riverdale 7-6.
Buckeye Central (11-13, 6-6 North Central Conference) led 3-0 after the fourth, but the Falcons countered with five runs in the top of the fifth.
The Bucks retook the lead with a three-run burst in the bottom of the fifth, but Riverdale knotted the game at 6 in the seventh.
Seth Parsons drove in two runs with a double and single for the Bucks, Jordan Herrnstein doubled and singled, Cole Stacklin doubled and Seth Ollis lined two singles.
Tanner Zaebst (1-1) got the win.
Gabriel leads the way for Rams.
NORTH ROBINSON - Talk about helping your own cause.
Cody Gabriel homered, doubled, scored three times and knocked in three runs Wednesday as Upper Sandusky hammered North Central Conference foe Colonel Crawford 15-3.
Gabriel also surrendered just four hits and two walks while striking out six and allowing two earned runs.
While his offense effort would have been enough for the Rams, he got plenty of help.
Cameron Binau homered and drove in a pair, Alex Kenner tripled and scored and Carson Mittermaier went 3 for 3 with four RBIs, a double and two runs.
Sam Plott added a 4-for-4 day with four runs, Ross Dible scored twice and singled, Andre Myers drove in three runs with two singles and Kolin Johnson singled twice.
Chieftains hammer Tigers
BASCOM - Hopewell-Loudon used an eight-run first inning Wednesday as the springboard to an 18-2 Midland Athletic League whipping of North Baltimore.
Bryan Scherger went 3 for 4 with three runs, three RBIs and two doubles for the Chieftains (13-8, 6-2 MAL), while winning pitcher Tyler Imes (4-2) struck out eight while scoring twice, doubling, singling and drive in a run.
Jordan Stewart added three runs and four RBIs off two singles, Ryan Depinet went 3 for 3 with two runs and two RBIs, Jared Gelinas ended 3 for 4 with two runs and two RBIs and Garret Sendelbach scored twice, singled twice, doubled and knocked in a run.
Weston Hill chased in three runs with two singles and Jackson Sebetto had a single, two runs and two RBIs against the Tigers.
Eagles clips Redmen
PEMBERVILLE - Eastwood held off Northern Buckeye Conference foe Fostoria long enough in the seventh inning Wednesday to claim a 5-4 win.
Eastwood scored twice in the bottom of the fourth to extend its lead to 5-2, but the Redmen (12-8, 3-5 NBC) scored once in the sixth and once in the seventh before the Eagles secured the win.
Kaleb Bemis (1-4) took the loss.
Rob Crotty hit three singles for FHS and Trey Yates added two.
Carey drops Old Fort, 11-1
CAREY- Satchel Strahm fanned four batters and allowed only six hits throughout Carey's 11-1 romp over Old Fort Wednesday.
The Blue Devils put up three runs in the second inning, added five more in the fourth, while holding the Stockaders scoreless until the fifth.
In the top of the fifth, Maison Steyer drove home Brad Heilman for Old Fort's lone run.
Carey answered the run in the bottom of the frame.
Matt Holsinger continued the Blue Devils' onslaught with a solo home run in the sixth inning.
Chase Wagner singled to bring in Steve Yonts to close out the scoring.

Skatepark a success story for local youth
April 19, 2013
"If you build it, they will come" was the famous line from the movie "Field of Dreams....
If you contact Buckhannon city officials, you might get a different prospective on "skate parks" based on their experience providing one.

Helping create a drug pick up spot is more than likely what it will become. Other counties have given property before for kids to skate and the generation of degenerates ABUSED it. They don't deserve anything nice because they can't act like humans and show consideration and a little gratitude. What a useless generation this one is.

FORT COLLINS — Fire containment lines are holding around a wildfire in the foothills west of Fort Collins, despite gusty winds.
Firefighters said the 1,300-acre Galena Fire was 85 percent contained Monday evening.
About 130 people are fighting the fire, which broke out Friday. Two helicopters were at the fire Monday, but one has left and the other was grounded by afternoon winds.
Hundreds of residents evacuated by the fire were allowed to return Saturday. Pre-evacuation notices also have been canceled, but residents are being urged to remain alert for changing conditions.
The fire has damaged numerous pedestrian bridges in Lory State Park. That park and Horsetooth Mountain Park were closed Monday due to the fire.
Investigators believe it was human-caused but isn't due to a campfire, controlled burn or prescribed burn.

Lately I have been feeling melancholy and it feels like perhaps maybe a part of my life is ending. It feels that my work and my style - a big part of my heart and soul - is about to become really really played out. Perhaps it already has. This is hurting my heart and making me feel a bit parinoid, as it seems as though I can't even go on the internet without seeing yet another person inspired by my work (i.e. ripping me off)
I'm not totally naive. I mean, I am sure when you see someone who is obviously copying your work for their own profit it feels crap to you too. I am sure it happens to everybody with talent. And really, if you put things out there what do you expect? I have never contacted anyone and accused them of stealing, or asked them to stop, or anything like that. I think that, even in the most blatant cases, I would only end up looking bitchy...
I realise that the only solution to copycats is to keep on doing new work, to keep on making things, to keep on being inspired, and to keep on creating simply for the love of creating. To me, the act of creating must come from a pure place. I have to always try and forget about those things, and keep on doing what I have always done. Keep on making things because that is just who I am.
However, I can't really dedicate too much time these days to my work - as being a new mama doesn't really allow completely for this. Often I get so inspired to do new things, but then I begin to start out and I soon I realise that doing my work to the level that I want to takes so much time and love from me, that it is not at all fair to my new little daughter at all.
There are so many things that I want to to do, but I find myself spreading myself too thin. Being a mom is really important to me, and even more important than doing my work. I went into this with my eyes wide open, knowing in my heart and mind what I wanted. In the overall scheme of things, what's a few years away so I can be the mama that I really want to be? I guess. I wish... that i wasn't being overwhelmed with copy-cats in the meantime. Maybe people think that I've just gone away and so my work is fair game. Maybe they're just so excited to be making that they don't realise that they are stealing and hurting someone else. Will I ever really know?
And all the while pondering these things I also think "oh, get over yourself!!!" These days have been the happiest of my entire life so what do I even have to complain about... Boohoo!

Can you define these popular missing words?
Creezer is a derivative of the word "creez" meaning " being creative or on a forefront of a trend", and the one who does that can be called as creezer.

What "open data" means—and what it doesn't | Opensource.com
What "open data" means—and what it doesn't
Last week, an article in the Wall Street Journal talked about the Open Data Partnership, which "will allow consumers to edit the interests, demographics and other profile information collected about them. It also will allow people to choose to not be tracked at all." The article goes on to discuss data mining and privacy issues, which are hot topics in today's digital world, where we all wonder just how much of our personal data is out there and how it's being used. These are valid concerns being talked about in other, more appropriate fora. I, however, would like to address my personal pet peeve about the dilution of the term open data.
The Open Knowledge Definition says it this way, "A piece of content or data is open if you are free to use, reuse, and redistribute it — subject only, at most, to the requirement to attribute and share-alike." Generally, this means that the data should be released in a format that is free of royalties and other IP restrictions. The problem is that an increasing number of people are using the term open data to mean publicly available data.
In the article, the CEO of the startup directing the Open Data Initiative says the goal is to "be more transparent and give consumers more control" of the data that is collected and shared. Providing a mechanism in which consumers can decide what information can be made available to advertisers is a laudable goal. However, this "open data" initiative focuses on what data is made available, when open data is really about how data is made available. This definitional shift is a problem, particularly for governments that are implementing data policies.
Simply put, all open data is publicly available. But not all publicly available data is open.
Open data does not mean that a government or other entity releases all of its data to the public. It would be unconscionable for the government to give out all of your private, personal data to anyone who asks for it. Rather, open data means that whatever data is released is done so in a specific way to allow the public to access it without having to pay fees or be unfairly restricted in its use.
In a previous article, I wrote about how the Massachusetts Bay Transit Authority (MBTA) opened up their transit data to software developers. Within 2 months, six new trip planning applications for bus and train riders had been built at no cost to the MBTA. That's the power of open data. It was data produced by the government which was released to the public in an open format (GTFS) for free, under a license that allowed for use and redistribution.
Why does this matter? If open data is misunderstood as releasing any and all data to the public, people will become opposed to the concept due to their concerns about privacy. What we, as policy advocates, want to encourage is that the data that governments do and should publish is done so in a way to ensure equal public access by all citizens. In other words, you shouldn't have to buy a particular vendor's product in order to be able to open, use, or repurpose the data. You, as a taxpayer, have already paid for the collection of the data. You shouldn't have to pay an additional fee to open it.
We've all seen, from the recent news about Wikileaks, that there are real privacy and/or security concerns with putting all the government's data out there, but that is a separate issue and shouldn't be confused with open data. Whether data should be made publicly available is where privacy concerns come into play. Once it has been determined that government data should be made public, then it should be done so in an open format.
Am I being nitpicky about the term? Maybe. But we've seen from other tech policy battles that good definitions are crucial to framing the debate.

Excellent post Melanie! Any chance we can cross-post this on the Open Knowledge Foundation blog (blog.okfn.org)?
A small correction: 'open data' is defined in the Open Knowledge Definition not the Open Data Commons project:
Open Data Commons is a project to provide legal tools for making data open, such as the PDDL (public domain), ODC-BY (attribution) and the ODbL (sharealike):
I'm glad others are taking up this issue. In July I posted a bit of a rant about the Canadian cities' "open data" license that wasn't: It's not Open Data, so stop calling it that... that some in the Canadian city Open Data community identified me as a pooh-pooh'er of the wonderful things the cities were doing. I tried to explain what the problems were in August What is Open Gov Data? The Sunlight Foundation: Ten Principles for Opening Up Government Information. Then, in November, after Tim Berners-Lee announced his five star system for open government data I repeated the incorrect conflation of publicly available data and Open Data, Canadian "Open Data" Cities: 'No stars' in Tim Berners-Lee Five Star Rating for Open Government Data.
We need to work to get this fixed. It de-values the Open Data movement, but more importantly by not being Open Data, it allows politicians and technocrats to legally block access for applications, companies and people they do not like. If it is not Open, then it is not transparent.
Excellent post Mel.
Your explanation is very clear and helpful, thanks.
I work on linked communities and open data and am currently in correspondence with the Charity Commission about the Open Government Licence.
The Charity Commission registers and regulates charities in England and Wales. They offer advice and provide services and guidance to help charities run as effectively as possible. They keep the online Register of Charities, which provides information about each of the thousands of registered charities in England and Wales.
All the charity data is publicly available (see this example on the Commission's website) but not all publicly available charity data is Open.
In fact, I am not sure if it gets 1-star by Tim Berners-Lee's suggested 5-star deployment scheme for Linked Open Data: you can see their Copyright notice, disclaimer and privacy statement on their website footer.
Looking forward to reading more from your blog soon.
Kindest regards,
Really like this post: nice definition and explanation why a definition is important. Great picture to explain your definition: a good visualization shows explains more than a thousand words. Unluckily the size of the bubbles doesn't yet represent reality: but the size of the green open data bublle is growing!
I like to to stimulate the use of open data in order to create and share insights. Regarding your definition I got two remarks. What is your opinion?
Open data is not limited to government data: business can profit from the open data concept as well. And in many countries government has shifted tasks from government to (semi) private companies. So where is the difference?
Open data means free to access, but doesn't always mean easy to access format: the use of open data just started. As a consequence much open data is (unintentionally) published in hard to reuse format (e.g. data table in pdf instead of csv). Developers should take the challenge to re-use the data anyway, in order to boost the use and proof the power of open data. But of course I encourage all efforts to make open data easy to access!
Keep on the great work!

Remark: read my full comment the site http://DataAlchemist.com
This captures really well the definitions and what open data means in the context of data sharing & re-use.
Would be really great to re-emphasize the Open Gov aspect of the Open Government Data, and that Open Data does not necessarily equal Open Gov Data (i.e. it could be data freely shared by a commercial organization), just like the primary focus of your article that all Gov Data does not mean Open Data. Only the Open Gov Data addresses both the "open" and "gov" attributes of this data. A Venn diagram to illustrate: http://www.port25.ca/?page_id=866

Risk Premia Harvesting Through Dual Momentum

April 1, 2012
Momentum is the premier market anomaly. It is nearly universal in its applicability. This paper examines cross-asset momentum with respect to what can make it most effective for momentum investors. We explore price volatility as a value-adding factor. We show that both absolute and relative momentum can enhance returns, but that absolute momentum does far more to lessen volatility and drawdown. We see that combining absolute and relative momentum gives the best results. Finally, we show how asset modules can serve as diversification building blocks that allow us to easily combine relative with absolute momentum and capture risk premia profits.
