'Lois Ehlert's Mole Hill Stories' casts a spell on theatergoers of all ages
In the beginning, there was a nearly blind mole in the dark woods. Less than one hour later, that same mole could see all the way to the moon, inspired by a fellow creature making the seemingly impossible journey there.
These bookends hold "Lois Ehlert's Mole Hill Stories," Alvaro Saar Rios' adaptation of three of Ehlert's children's books. A collaboration between First Stage Children's Theater and Danceworks Performance Company that's designed to expose young children to theater, it opened Saturday morning under Desiree Rosas' direction. »Read Full Article

Outlook for 2008 unchanged
Said Wijers: "After a major transformation process which streamlined and refocused the company, it's now time for us to deliver on what we promised and, in today's very different economic landscape, significantly improve our performance. The initiatives we are announcing today mark the start of a far-reaching operational excellence process designed to make us even stronger by building on what we have created – a solid foundation for sustainable, profitable growth."
He added: "We operate from strong positions in diverse, highly attractive sectors with good growth potential. This is particularly evident in emerging markets, which now represent 35 percent of total revenue and 40 percent of total EBIT. Our positions of strength are underpinned by our widespread market-leadership and the fact that up to 75 percent of the new AkzoNobel operates in markets with low to very low cyclicality.
"The world economy has now clearly entered a phase of lower growth, particularly in the mature markets," continued Wijers. "In these challenging markets, only lean companies succeed. We have therefore started a rigorous drive to further reduce our cost base."
Improving operational performance
AkzoNobel has today announced an EBITDA margin target of at least 14 percent by the end of 2011. This will be achieved by:
Added Wijers: "AkzoNobel has a strong restructuring track record and, as always, we will work closely with our social partners in this process."
To reach the company's ambitious targets, the even stronger focus on operational effectiveness will be supported by organic growth, which differs per business area.
Decorative Paints – raising targets in emerging markets
AkzoNobel has an excellent geographic spread, holding leading positions with strong brands such as Dulux®, Sikkens® and Glidden®. Dulux® represents more than 25 percent of our total Decorative Paints revenue. In 2007, emerging markets accounted for 25 percent of total Decorative Paints revenue. By 2012, that number will have increased to 35 percent. The company has adopted a new brand strategy – driving towards fewer, stronger brands in the medium term – with an even stronger focus on our global approach to innovation.
Performance Coatings – strong position in a broad range of segments
Growth potential is high – notably in the emerging markets – with further opportunities being targeted through organic growth and active participation in industry consolidation. Close to 50 percent of the business is conducted in emerging markets, which provides a strong platform for organic growth.
Specialty Chemicals – investing in emerging markets
Investing in emerging markets such as Brazil and China will help to drive further growth – current projects account for more than €300 million. Moving forward, the main focus will be on margin management through procurement, value pricing and further energy efficiency.
Share buy back program & dividends
Since 2007, AkzoNobel has embarked on share buy back programs totaling €4.6 billion. By the end of September 2008, €3.0 billion had been completed. With €1.8 billion of our net debt due to mature in the next eight months – and given the current volatile situation in the global financial markets – the company has decided to defer the remaining €1.6 billion of the current program until the refinancing of the bonds has been completed. The company remains committed to maintaining its dividend and its A-minus credit rating.
Outlook 2008 reconfirmed
AkzoNobel has today repeated that it expects 2008 EBITDA before incidentals, in constant currencies, to be close to the 2007 pro forma level of €1,870 million.
AkzoNobel fact file – Looking closer, seeing further
Published today, the AkzoNobel fact file gives a comprehensive overview of the company's business and will provide the investment community with details of AkzoNobel's leadership positions; market and business characteristics; operational excellence; key raw materials and innovations.

From housemate to humanitarian: Australian Big Brother's Tim Brunero
18 May 2006
by Belle Hann
"You have to give up a lot of stuff that you take for granted. It's another world. It really is another world – even just having a shower is a trial." But "Big Brother's" Tim Brunero isn't describing his time in the "Big Brother" house last year, he's talking about volunteering in East Timor with Union Aid Abroad - APHEDA or the Australian People for Health, Education and Development Abroad.
A much-loved contestant on the reality tv show "Big Brother" in 2005, Tim became known in the house for his wit, intelligence and commitment to social justice – attributes rare in a reality television contestant. Although he didn't win "Big Brother," he did win his episode of Celebrity Ready, Steady, Cook and he donated his prize money to Union Aid Abroad - APHEDA which is the overseas humanitarian aid agency of the Australian Council of Trade Unions (ACTU).
Tim took things a step further and donated his time to this organization. He has long admired their progressive approach to community development, particularly in East Timor. "They don't just drop sacks of rice. They go to a community, they consult heavily, and then they integrate themselves through local partners."
The newest country in the world, East Timor is recovering from decades of internal conflict. Union Aid Abroad - APHEDA is helping to rebuild a peaceful, democratic and independent East Timor by donating over AUS$3 million dollars worth of aid including setting up trade unions, vocational education and community development.
"It is so tangible and so exciting," Tim said. "Because things in East Timor are just so basic, so bare bones, you feel the contribution you can make is greater and you can see the fruits of your contribution much more readily."
During his time in East Timor, Tim visited the trade cooperatives set up by Union Aid Abroad - APHEDA that empower local people with practical skills such as carpentry, blacksmithing and media production. Tim witnessed firsthand how these 'little functioning organisms' are building a healthy economy and infrastructure in East Timor. "There's not dependence cycle and there's no loop. It's this fantastic idea that everything you do helps the community build itself."
Post-Big Brother, Tim has been writing a book about reality TV and working on a documentary about East Timor. The documentary chronicles Tim's experiences with the East Timorese people including an interview with 1996 Nobel Peace Prize winner José Ramos Horta.
During a break in filming, Tim and his film crew made friends with local children in a remote East Timorese village. "The most beautiful thing was, when walking with the kids, I felt this little hand coming up in my hand–they are just holding your hand as you walk along."
Both Tim's parents are active volunteers who have influenced Tim's commitment to hands-on activism. "I don't just want to give $10 a week for such-and-such organisation to go out and do good work. I actually want to devote my time and my life to doing good work."
If you're interested in volunteering in East Timor, Union Aid Abroad - APHEDA recommends contacting Australian Volunteers International. Union Aid Abroad - APHEDA is not a volunteer-sending agency per se and only sends volunteers when specific skills are requested by overseas partners. They run annual study tours as part of their global education program and let visitors experience their development projects in diverse countries and cultures.

4 Paws Rescue Bargain Boutique - Youngtown, AZ - Phone: (623) 876-8778
A Resale Shop in Youngtown, also termed as charity shop, is an establishment that mostly deals with selling of used or second hand products, either received in charity or collected by their staff. The main attraction of these shops is the low cost of the products available. Since, the products on sale are mostly obtained for free, whatever price the shop-keeper gets for the item, is a profit. The only cost that they need to incur would be the building rent and electricity.
Few of these also specialize in a particular kind of merchandise which could range from 'Junk', 'Books', 'Clothing' to 'Furniture' etc, all consisting of products that are not new.
Charity shops have now become quite popular in many parts of the world, for the simple reason that one can afford them at extremely low prices and the government also support them as they promote re-cycling.�

Webcast Summary
The proposed Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and International Account Standards Board (IASB) lease accounting changes are likely to take effect sometime in 2017, and this has some finance executives thinking. Many are concerned about the impacts of moving operating leases onto their balance sheets, but, according to a CFO Research study, sponsored by IBM, most large companies indicate that they are not ready yet to deal with the change.
The boards, and very few survey respondents, say the lease accounting change will provide more financial transparency, but more respondents think there will not be a positive change on anything except EBITDA. Asset leasing and real estate are central components of many companies' financing strategies: they are used to optimize cash flow, maximize liquidity, reduce costs, and improve ROI. So this would lead an observer to think that CFOs and their teams are starting to prepare.
Yet of the 179 finance executives surveyed from companies with at least $1 billion in annual revenues, fewer than 10% said they were adequately prepared to deal with the change.
Finance chiefs say the proposed rule will effect far-reaching changes at their organizations. From training staff to altering processes to buying new technology, finance organizations should start thinking—now—about what they need to do, before the FASB/IASB rule takes effect.
During this Webcast presentation, David Owens, Editorial Director at CFO Research, and IBM will review survey findings and share with attendees:

Allen Hischke 3 years, 5 months ago
There is only one law that will help stop gun violence and gun crime. That law should read as follows: If any person, adult or child, uses any gun, be it BB gun or machine gun, to commit any crime, either stealing a stick of gum or murder. Then upon conviction, that person will recieve a mandatory death sentence to be carried out within a week of conviction, no appeals. When that law is in place nationwide, the the honest people in this country will begin to see a drop in both gun crimes and gun violence.
William Ronis 3 years, 5 months ago
I think we should recall Jantz for saying the Moffat County Sherriff Dept. will not enforce any gun control laws.
Allen Hischke 3 years, 5 months ago
I think we should give Jantz a medal for not enforcing any new gun control laws. He is a hero!

Jarryd Hayne's prophet predicts top season
- From: The Daily Telegraph
- February 22, 2013
HE'S long been considered a prophet by Parramatta fans and yesterday star fullback Jarryd Hayne got the chance to live up to his moniker.
With the aid of a body painter, the Eels favourite was adorned with full body armour and transformed into the character, Prophet, from the video game Crysis 3. Set in New York, the latest instalment in the Crysis franchise sees the hero fight to save mankind in a post-apocalyptic America.
A self-described gaming nut, Hayne told The Daily Telegraph he was expecting to cop some flak from his teammates over the body painting session.
"This is the first time I've been body painted," he said.
"It was a really unique and fun opportunity to replicate Prophet from Crysis 3.
"The boys are going to have a good laugh when they see me as Prophet tomorrow."
Hayne and teammate Reni Maitua were this week named Parramatta co-captains for the 2013 season. Tim Mannah has been named club captain.

And another tempting reason to jet to Scotland ASAP: This UNESCO City of Music will be opening the Riverside Museum on June 21, a dazzling building by Pritzker prize-winning architect Zaha Hadid. Sprawling along the River Clyde, the museum is dedicated to transport and travel, paying homage to Glasgow's history as a shipbuilding capital. The inside is just as dazzling as the outside, showcasing every type of transportation imaginable. (Trust us- we had a peak inside before the official opening date.)

An Oktoberfest Hotel in Munich: Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten Kempinski
February 15, 2011
By: Daniel L. Moses
"In München steht ein Hofbräuhaus: Eins, zwei, g'suffa…" Every now and again, I can't get this song out of my head. I can't predict when the words come flooding in, usually when I take a drink of a fine German lager. My taste buds trigger an emotion that is pure happiness. Oktoberfest! Oh how I miss thee!
This year, I'm going back, and I hope you'll join me. Munich, the beautiful Bavarian city in southern Germany, has more than just the annual beer drinking festival, but there isn't honestly a better time to visit. The season is just changing, with the weather pleasant and calm, and the warmth of the German people never more evident. This is what makes Oktoberfest so enchanting!
I've stayed at many places in Germany, from home stays to hostels to ski chalets, but nothing compares to the Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten Kempinski. Can't pronounce it? Don't worry, I can't either. But you won't need to, because the world class staff at the Hotel Vier will do everything for you, including the speaking!
I do recommend doing one thing on your own though, and that's drinking a liter of Hofbräu, and singing that famous old song… Prost!

Celebrate Virginia Wine Month at Keswick Hall, Charlottesville
September 22, 2010
By: Mary Winston Nicklin
October could be the best time to visit the Commonwealth of Virginia; the peaking fall foliage draws plenty of leaf-peepers, and Virginia Wine Month means festivities and celebrations galore. From concerts to barrel tastings, hay-rides to artist displays, the month will be jam-packed with fun events. It all kicks off at Monticello (how fitting!) when The Governor's Cup for White Wines will be presented to one lucky Virginia winery as the opening event for October Virginia Wine Month. Looking to stay in the area? Check into Keswick Hall, the gorgeous 600-acre estate managed by Orient-Express, and you might just find yourself joining in the grape harvest (or stomping the resort's own grapes!) Plus, Keswick hosts a wine tasting every Thursday in Fossett's Bar with Keswick's Richard Hewitt, one of the few Master Sommeliers in Virginia.

Next week brings you our double issue covering the year's best and worst. So this week, a little early, we'll look at a few of the few hundred Christmas specials in December (and then at some normal shows).
In James Gal way's Christmas Carol on PBS (Wed., Dec. 10, 9:35 p.m. ET), that Irish imp of a flutist and showman puts on a light, lilting concert in an English cathedral with an orchestra, a chorus, a boys' choir and a singing congregation. They start with tunes unfamiliar to us Yanks but then play the golden goodies: Silent Night, I Wonder As I Wander, We Wish You a Merry Christmas.
You have to say one thing for Christmas With the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and Shirley Verretton PBS (Fri., Dec. 12, 10 p.m. ET): It's big. As big as its title. As big as the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. The problem with 325 voices is that it's hard for them to show much subtlety or close harmony. They're best at belting melodies. But melody belting is perfect for familiar carols, and that's why this choir has made its name with favorites like O Come, All Ye Faithful; Angels We Have Heardon High and Joy to the World/It's beginning to sound a lot like Christmas.
It would take one grouchy Grinch to complain about a kids' show like Christmas at Radio City Music Hall on HBO (Sat., Dec. 13, 8 p.m. ET). I am, of course, a grouchy Grinch, and I could grump about dancing Christmas trees, tap-dancing Santas, Rockettes as toy soldiers, Joel Grey's recitation of the "Yes, Virginia" story for Santa's elves, an off-key musical rendition of Dickens' A Christmas Carol, a live camel and some heavy, hokey harp playing. But, hey, it's Christmas. So I won't complain.
The Christmas Star on ABC's Disney Movie (Sun., Dec. 14, 7 p.m. ET) is no Christmas Carol or Miracle on 34th Street. A classic it won't be. It's just a new, nice Santa story. Ed Asner plays a mean crook and convict who escapes from prison dressed as a Santa so he can claim robbery profits hidden in some old department store reindeer. When Ed discovers that his getup gives him magical powers with kids, he enlists an army of young ones to help get the loot. "It's brownie points with Santa," Ed promises them. As you might guess, prolonged contact with wide-eyed children softens up cranky old Ed and then he softens up a greedy landlord, the neighborhood bully and other assorted Scrooges. The movie tries to do a bit too much and gets confused. But it's sweet.
And here is the season's one seasonal show to watch: a rerun of George C. Scott in A Christmas Carol on CBS (Tues, Dec. 23, 9 p.m. ET). Now that it's three years old, it's time we declared this magnificent rendition of A Christmas Carol a classic. Exquisite all around.

Oregon's fourth Health System Transformation report indicates the "coordinated care" model is continuing to improve key areas of care for Oregon's Medicaid population, while keeping costs down, officials said Tuesday.
The new report shows coordinated care organization progress for the first nine months of 2013 on key performance and cost measurements.
"Emergency department visits and spending are decreasing under the coordinated care model," said Tina Edlund, acting OHA director. "Measurements indicate Oregon's CCOs are lowering unnecessary hospitalizations for conditions that can better be treated elsewhere. "
"There are also reductions in hospital readmissions, largely due to community efforts to achieve the highest quality care and to keep people at their healthiest," she said.
At the same time emergency department use is decreasing, primary care use is increasing. As hospitalizations are decreasing in key areas, Oregon Health Plan members are receiving better and more appropriate care in the right place, at the right time, the report said.
Patient-centered primary care enrollment, a key element of coordinated care, is also showing continued improvement.
This report also points to improvements in early developmental screenings. The percentage of children 36 months of age or younger who were screened for the risk of developmental, behavioral and social delays increased from a 2011 baseline of 21 percent, up to 32 percent in the first nine months of 2013.
By identifying and addressing a child's needs early, this transformational work leads to better health outcomes, reduced costs, and improved learning in these critical early years.
Highlighted findings
* Decreased emergency department visits: Nine full months of reporting shows that emergency department visits by people served by CCOs has decreased 13 percent from 2011 baseline data.
* Decreased hospitalization for chronic conditions: Coordinated care organizations reduced hospital admissions for congestive heart failure by 32 percent, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease by 36 percent, and adult asthma by 18 percent.
* Increased primary care: Spending for primary care is up more than 18 percent. Enrollment in patient-centered primary care homes has also increased by 51 percent since 2012, the baseline year for that program. More than two-thirds of CCO members are now enrolled in patient-centered primary care homes.
* Increased adoption of electronic health records: Electronic health record adoption among measured providers has doubled. In 2011, 28 percent of eligible providers had adopted electronic health records. By September of 2013, 58 percent of eligible providers were using them.
* All-cause readmission: The percentage of adults who had a hospital stay and were readmitted for any reason within 30 days of discharge dropped from a baseline of 12.3 percent to 11.3 percent in the first nine months of 2011, a reduction of 8 percent.
"Each quarterly report shows us more than we knew before and more than has ever before been gathered and reported publicly in Oregon's Medicaid program," the announcement said. "We can use the metrics as a tool for improvement, CCO members learn more about what to expect from care, and we can use it as a standard to guide other types of health plans."
More than 600,000 Oregonians were enrolled in OHP in 2013. More than 180,000 Oregonians became new OHP members so far in 2014. Over the next several years, more Oregonians will continue to join OHP. By using the coordinated care model, focused on improved quality and lower costs, we can ensure a more sustainable system.

The Boxer from Shantung (Ma yong zhen, 1972)
Chang Cheh & Pao Hsieh Li
Hong Kong
126 min, color, Mandarin (English subtitles)
Review © 2003 Branislav L. SlantchevThis is the film that turned Chen Kuan Tai into a credible dramatic actor and introduced his incredible fighting skills to the general audience. The film also marked the first collaboration of director Chang Cheh with this charismatic actor. While often first steps are only of historic interest (having been supplanted by later and far better films), The Boxer from Shantung stands up quite well to the test of time on its own. It is a somewhat typical story for I Kuang and Chang Cheh but it is laden with symbolism and metaphor that is missing from the later renditions. Pretty satisfying performances all around make this film a must-see not just for the expertly staged fighting scenes but for its drama as well.
|Down and out in Shanghai
|David Chiang as the captivating Boss Tan
Chen Kuan Tai is Ma Yongzhen, a poor guy from Shantung who arrives in Shanghai with his buddy Jiangbei (Cheng Hong Yip) in search of fame and fortune. The big city would swallow a lesser man, chew him up, and spit him out as a disillusioned and failed never-been, much like it does to the hordes of aspiring actors arriving in L.A. But Ma is an excellent fighter with indomitable spirit. He stays in squalor at a hostel, unable to afford a proper room, but he walks proud, sure of his future success.
|Vive la revolucion!
|Gratuitous shot of Ching Li
He accepts any challenge, knowing that the way to climb the heights of the mean streets hierarchy is to be the top dog. This leads him to the encounter with Boss Tan (David Chiang), the suave and perpetually smiling gangster who appreciates Ma's skill and teaches him a lesson to fight for his means of sustenance instead of living off charity. Ma takes the lesson to heart and becomes an instant admirer of Tan's. Very quickly, however, Ma finds himself in the midst of a turf war, in which he unwittingly takes the side of Tan against Boss Yang and his four blood-thirsty henchmen.
|Lingzi harassed by Agen
|The good life
Ma's fighting skills ensure his victory in this brawl and Tan rewards him with the territory around the restaurant where it occurred. This marks the first step upwards and it is notable that it is also the occasion of Ma's first encounter with the beautiful singer Lingzi (Ching Li). It is love at first sight, and it appears that things are looking up for Ma. In a somewhat heavy-handed symbolic scene, Chang Cheh pictures Ma making it to the second floor of the hostel, to the rooms which he previously could not afford. For those who miss the reference of his climbing the stairs, there's the helpful hint by Jiangbei explaining it.
|Symbolic ascent to up the stairs
|Typical gweilo brutishness
What follows is a series of encounters between Ma and various opponents, all of whom turn out to be associated with Boss Yang's (Chiang Nan) gang. Ku Feng, Tien Ching, and Fung Ngai repeatedly get themselves mauled by Chen Kuan Tai after failing to recruit him. There's also a fight between a white Russian muscleman (played by Italian wrestler Mario Milano) and Ma. Besides portraying the white dude in a typical anti-Western way (complete with huge physique, uncouth growling, and propensity to humiliate Chinese men by sheer brute strength instead of martial art skill), the scene occasions yet another confrontation with the Yang gang.
|Ma defeats the Russian
|Kuan Tai as the quintessential Chang Cheh hero
This finally makes Ma top dog, albeit in a rather small territory. However, it also causes the abrupt rupture in his budding relationship with Lingzi who cannot accept his rise to thugdom. The brief unfulfilled love is quite inconsequential in terms of Ma's future but it is essential to understanding the story of Ma's rise and fall. Lingzi sees that he will be nothing more than the next racketeer, and, more importantly, there soon will be a "next" racketeer --- "Whoever's in charge next, we must pay his protection fees." In other words, not only does she disprove of Ma's vocational choice, but she also foretells his inevitable demise. In fact, every top dog in this film ends up dying.
|Very nice choreography
|Lingzi realizes Ma is just another thug
Lingzi is devastated and disappears from the story even though Ma attempts to behave according to his own code of morality. He does not force himself on Lingzi, he does not punish her refusal to abide by his command (despite urging by his underlings), and he tries to be just to the people he is racketeering (citing his remembrance of poverty as the reason). All this seems nice but cannot conceal the fact that he is a thug and people are not paying him because they like him. They are paying him to protect them from himself.
|Gratuitous shot of devastated Ching Li
|Ma as the "nice" thug
Having forfeited forever Lingzi's love, Ma tries to enjoy the good life, but a brothel is not exactly the same even in the haze of his drunken stupor. Ma's fighting skill earn him control of a larger territory, but he soon finds himself outwitted by the scheming Boss Yang who manages to assassinate Tan Si. The death of his idol finally awakens Ma to the reality of his choices. The one powerful man he regarded as friend and an example has perished, and there is little Ma can do except seek revenge, aware that it will probably cost him his life. He orders his faithful sidekick Jiangbei to leave town before he gets corrupted (and killed should Ma fail to eliminate the Yang), and then accepts an invitation to an obvious trap.
|The good life is not that fulfilling
|An aesthetic death for David Chiang
The epic confrontation between Ma and Boss Yang is a protracted fight scene laced with metaphor in a way that few Chang Cheh films are. Ma arrives at the restaurant for his meeting with Yang. The ambush setup is almost an exact replica of Ti Lung's death in Vengeance, down to the ax in the stomach, plus David Chiang's climb to the top of the staircase at the end. He is mortally wounded and, in typical Chang Cheh fashion, strips to the waist, and battles his armed enemies with bare hands. The raw energy of this fight is stunning. Ma repeatedly tries to climb the stairs where Boss Yang is standing and enjoying the spectacle, but every time he is pulled back into the fray by some underling.
|Tien Ching argues metaphysics with Shum Lo
|Apocalyptic final battle, mortally wounded hero
Having realized the futility of his attempts, Ma brings down the staircase and kills Yang. He emerges the victor but he is doomed. When one surviving Yang gang member slashes him from the back, he can scarcely bring himself to fight. Instead, he laughs and laughs, underscoring the irony of achieving his dream by destroying the very hierarchical structure that he was trying to climb. He has sacrificed everything for nothing and his only consolation would perhaps be that Tan's death was properly avenged.
|Still attempting to climb the stairs...
|...and trying to drag himself up to the end
The film is pretty entertaining and although perhaps not as good as some of the later collaborations still delivers. The fights are exceptionally well done, and Chen Kuan Tai gets to display his martial arts skills in addition to some good acrobatics. The fights are not flashy, and are quite bloody instead of being stylized.
The Celestial Pictures DVD is very nice, with an anamorphic 2.35:1 transfer. Only the Mandarin dub is included (DD 2.0), and I have heard that it has been "enhanced" by things like chirping birds. I am not a purist in the extreme sense so I don't object to small meddling with the original. The English subtitles are generally free of errors and are easy to read. The extras are few: photo gallery, trailers, and talent bios. A recommended buy for fans of the genre, the lead actors, and the director.

The Bichot family history in Burgundy stretches back as far a 1350. Their iconic symbol of a deer will be familiar to fine wine lovers around the world. It wasn't until the 19th Century when the family began to both act as negociants and to produce wine. In 1831 Bernard Bichot began a wine brokerage in Monthèlie, not far from Beaune. Wine production began shortly after, with their first shipment to the UK, Belgium and Switzerland arriving in 1840. The family heritage has been passed down from father to son until the present day. Since 1996 Albert Bichot has represented the 6th generation to run the house. They now own 100ha (245 acres) of vineyards across the most famous Crus of Burgundy.
For Albert Bichot, Wine is a singular product: a symbol of culture, pleasure and humanity. The producers' most recent accolades include; (more…)

Yorkshire Life magazine recently joined us at Chapters for our "fun" lunch menu.
"A culinary adventure – Yorkshire Life Lunch
An innovative chef creates a meal with a difference.
There was more than a hint of fun about the menu at this month's Yorkshire Life lunch. No one expected sausage roll, chips and beans or even boiled egg and soldiers at an award winning fine dining restaurant such as the one at Chapters Hotel in the market town of Stokesley, North Yorkshire. The welcome was traditional enough, and was made special with a glass of sparkling wine before guests sat down for what turned out to be a delicious six-course adventure. (more…)

It is no secret that Randall Terry is an attention-seeking right-wing zealot, always on the lookout for ways to get his name in the press. From burning effigies of Nancy Pelosi or Lindsey Graham to destroying Korans and protesting outside the school attended by President Obama's daughters, Terry is constantly working to draw attention to his cause ... mainly as a means to draw attention to himself. And all of that self-aggrandizement occasionally pays of, as it helps Terry to secure meetings with incoming Speaker of the House John Boehner's Chief of Staff, as he revealed when he included this...

So, for me, visiting the White Sands Missile Range in south-central New Mexico on Friday was a bit of a challenge: how could I come face to face with some of the very instruments of the Cold War without being overcome by the fear of my childhood?
It turns out adulthood goes a long way toward muting such worries. Visiting White Sands was more an exercise in nostalgia than anything else. And that's partly because while the facility is very much operational and in fact home to some of the world's most advanced military technology, I wasn't allowed anywhere near it.
Rather, I was given a tour of the range's museum and missile park--the only parts of the facility open to the public, though I required an escort so that, as a reporter, I didn't sneak off and reveal any secrets--as well as an old, decommissioned gantry that used to be used to launch rockets.
Don't get me wrong: What I saw of the facility (which covers 100 miles by 40 miles) was pretty impressive. Even the parts of the range's headquarters I wasn't allowed to visit looked high-tech and cutting edge, while also appearing incredibly mundane.
One example was the Cox Range Control Center, a super highly classified building that's the "single point of control for all missions conducted on the range," according to the facility's Web site. Among the things that happen at the control center are real-time data processing, air space surveillance, control of telemetry for drone formations, and computing that generates "state-of-the-art graphics for display of mission scenarios that will depict airborne targets, interceptor missiles, the virtual range land mass and instrumentation location and coverage."
I didn't get to visit the control center, but I did drive by it on the way to the gantry, and it was very interesting: a normal-looking office building with a parking lot full of normal cars and trucks. The only difference was that it was surrounded by concrete barriers and had an array of electronics on the roof that looked capable of running a full-scale war. I don't know what I was expecting out of such a facility: some super modern, sleek black, all-glass compound?
Anyway, that's neither here nor there. For some background, White Sands Missile Range is an unusual military base in that it employs only about 400 active-duty military personnel, with about 3,200 contractors and 2,700 Army civilians contributing to the work, according to Camilla Montoya, the public relations representative who took me on a tour.
Montoya explained that the range, which is in the shape of a long rectangle oriented south to north, is still very much active in missile testing. In fact, she said, there's a live test almost every other day, usually shooting south to north. Since the range's inception in 1945, she said, there have been more than 45,000 tests of missiles and rockets.
So why is the range where it is?
It's the terrain, she explained. The site is tucked neatly into New Mexico's Tularosa Basin, with perfect boundaries on both sides: the Sacramento mountains to the east and the San Andreas mountains to the west. In other words: it's in a giant bowl with no possibility for encroachment.
But since there are live missile tests happening all the time, and a fairly major road, U.S. Highway 70, passing through the range, it is often necessary to shut down the road for an hour or two to accommodate live explosive weapons passing overhead. You wouldn't want to be driving down the highway with your family and have a missile explode alongside your minivan, now, would you?
Montoya told me that because the missile range is entirely on land, it's possible to recover all debris from the tests by flying helicopters out to do retrieval. Still, on the way into the headquarters, you are warned by friendly roadside signs that there may be live munitions still lying around and that you'd do better to keep to the roads. I think I may have gulped on reading that.
Among its other notable features, White Sands Missile Range is one of only two facilities in the country that owns its airspace into infinity. The other is the White House. That means there is no commercial traffic flying overhead. Montoya said the range can, at its discretion, hand over some high-altitude space to the Federal Aviation Administration, but she couldn't remember that ever happening.
Another thing I thought curious was how Montoya--and the facility's Web site--refer to the organizations that use the range (the Army, Navy, Air Force and NASA) as "customers." An odd term, it seemed to me, given that the facility is a U.S. military base. But it turns out it's operated by the Department of Defense, and the Army, Air Force, et al., contract for its services, along with a small number of defense contractors, such as Raytheon.

In the past few weeks I have been noticing that some of our strongest automotive clients are taking full advantage of step pricing plans to buy up large lots of popular cars from their manufacturers.
The strategy seems to lock in thousands of dollars of dealer discounts that other competing dealers can't match because they purchase in smaller quantities.
2009 Infiniti G37 Sedans
The 2009 Infiniti G37 Sedan is a very popular car and in 2009 this replaced the award winning G35 Sedan. This week we got the green light to promote Infiniti of Norword's special allocation of G37 Sedans.
The dealership purchased over 150 Infiniti G37 sedans which gives them pricing power over most dealers in the greater Boston area. Aside from pricing power, Infiniti of Norwood may well have have the largest selection of 2009 G37 Sedans in New England.
I love dealers who can take advantage of market pricing opportunities to deliver great deals for consumers looking for new cars at competitive prices. In this economy only the strong will survive and that includes being strong enough to take some risks. View 2009 G37 Inventory
2009 Ford F-150 Trucks
Infiniti of Norwood is not the only strong market player. Preston Ford in Maryland has stocked up America's #1 truck for the past 32 years. David Wilson, President of Preston Motors is counting on attracting Ford truck buyers from Delaware, Maryland and Virginia with amazing Ford F-150 truck prices.
Preston Fordtook advantage of special Ford pricing and purchased over 150 Ford F-150 trucks and has started a special promotion. Since the Ford F-Series has been the 31 truck for the past 32 years, Preston Ford is offering a large selection of F-150's for only $32 over dealer invoice price.
To see the all the Ford F-Series trucks in stock visit: http://www.prestonford.com/ford-fseries
Automotive Marketing in a Recession
These two examples show that car dealers who want to survive need to throw away their bunker mentality and get out and sell cars. Today, price is so important so taking advantage of step pricing is one way to go. Now critics may say that they are crazy to take such a large position in any one model. Time will tell who is right.
Best Wishes to Infiniti of Norwood and Preston Ford

I think the point is that the name should be associated only with the positive relationships (ie. explicitly what the named entity should be entrusted with), and that all other relationships are thus denied by default. This coincides with Tyler's assertion that the name should be treated as an index into a capability list.

To our knowledge, large prospective studies with a high degree of evidence on antiplatelet regimens during noncardiac surgery are lacking. Recently, Chernoguz et al1 reported a significantly increased risk of postoperative bleeding in patients who received clopidogrel bisulfate before major abdominal surgery. An invited comment2 on their study1 pointed out that cessation of antiplatelet therapy can result in an increased risk of major adverse cardiac events due to stent thrombosis (eg, myocardial infarction and its possible fatal outcome). Current guidelines3 recommend that elective, noncardiac surgery be postponed for at least 6 weeks after the placement of bare-metal stents and for at least 1 year after the placement of drug-eluting stents. The question remains whether to continue or discontinue antiplatelet therapy and face the risk of either perioperative bleeding or adverse cardiac events, especially in urgent situations. With this question in mind, and in contrast to the study by Chernoguz et al,1 we report a small case series of 7 consecutive patients who underwent major abdominal surgery while receiving dual antiplatelet therapy in our hospital between October 2009 and July 2010.

IRVINE, CALIF. — Lexie Malazdrewicz took fourth place in the bonus finals in the 400 individual medley and seventh in the finals of the 200 backstroke last week at the Junior National Championships, held at the William Woolett Jr. Aquatics Complex.
It's football season.
The Evergreen Cougars will hold an intrasquad scrimmage on Aug. 21 at Evergreen High School from 8:30-11:30 a.m. Lunch will follow.
ARVADA — Sam Theil shot a 77 to finish eighth individually, and Evergreen took fifth place in the 11-team field at the second 4A Jeffco League match of the season Aug. 16 at West Woods Golf Club.
Freshman Kyle Peterson fired an 81, while Adam Zuckerman and Taylor Shillingburg each shot an 84. Zach Fellows rounded out the scoring for Evergreen with an 88.
ENGLEWOOD — For one, Taylor Shillingburg, the boys golf season couldn't have started much better. For another, his Evergreen teammate Adam Zuckerman, he's had better days. It was that kind of round for the Cougars on Aug. 12 at Broken Tee Golf Course.
The Tiny Town train is expected to be running again this week after a derailment Aug. 11 left 20 adults and children injured. Operator error is being blamed for the accident.
Before the ride is reopened, all of the park's trains will be checked for mechanical defects, even though mechanical issues are not suspected.
Majestic ponderosas and a mountain backdrop in the heart of Buchanan Park constitute a fitting location for the long-awaited veterans memorial.
Conceived in 2007 by members of American Legion Post 2001 in Evergreen, the Veterans Commemorative Walk is beginning to take shape in the form of a concrete foundation, which was poured on two consecutive days, July 29 and 30.
It's business as usual at Evergreen's public schools, despite budgets that are 25 percent smaller than last year.
Principals, who are able to allocate funds any way they wish, want the community to know three things: The budget cuts were made this year in a way that won't affect classrooms; the schools wouldn't survive the cuts without their PTAs and community involvement; and even though more budget cuts are forecast for next year, the schools will weather those changes, too.
On the heels of its major renovation and expansion, StageDoor Theatre has renovated its model for summer productions — community theater for all ages.

Jefferson County voters responded in record numbers to the first all-mail-in primary election, with the 2010 voter turnout vastly surpassing that of previous years.
An all-time high of 97,447 ballots — 47.41 percent of the 205,539 eligible voters — had been counted by early Wednesday morning, when all precincts had finished tallying votes.
By contrast, the closely watched primary elections of 2004 and 2008 turned out only 32.14 percent and 36.74 percent of qualified voters, respectively.

Ohio State senior guard Aaron Craft is one of the most scrutinized players in the entire country.
People don't like that he plays hard and doesn't get called for as many fouls as he should. They don't like his rosy cheeks, or the fact that he seems like a pretty normal college kid.
Craft's college career will be over in a matter of weeks, and people can't wait to see him depart.
On Saturday his Buckeyes lost a hard fought game against Michigan in the Big Ten tournament semifinals 72-69, and it was Craft who had a chance to send the game into overtime.
Craft took the ball off the dribble and let it fly.
Then this happened:

Aaron Craft's jump shot has been the crux of many an argument, and while this isn't the final shot of his collegiate career, it is the final shot of his Big Ten career, and it does support the doubters who thinks he can't shoot.
Iowa State fans know that Craft can hit a late bucket, but this video won't help his cause.

Hey guys,
This is my first year playing fantasy and the first time I am trying to set my roster. I could really use some expert help in who I should start. I like all my matchups this week so it is a little tricky.
I only need help with the WRs and RBs. Our league scores 1 pt/20yds, 6pts TD, and no PPR or anything else.
WRs - I need to start three of the 5 below:
Steve Smith (NYG) - Playing against Carolina
Hines Ward - Playing against Atl
Knox - Playing against the lions
Maclin - Playing against GB
Breaston - Playing against StL
Which three would you start??
RBs - I need to start 2 of the 3 below:
Mendenhall - Playing against Atl
Forte - Playing against the lions
Ronnie Brown - Playing against Buf
Which two would you start??
Any help you can give is appreciated!!
2 replies , Last at 10 Sep 2010, 2:15pm by Dan
Smith, Ward, Knox
Mendenhall, Brown
For the WRs, you drafted those 3 before the other two (I'm assuming) because they are better. Nothing has changed since then, so use them.
For the RBs, Mendenhall is your horse, so you start him. Forte v Brown is the only tough decision you have, and I'd go with Brown v Buffalo on matchup. They should run all over the Bills, just like last year.
I'd lean towards Forte over Brown, in part because of the matchup vs. the Lions (who the Bears ran all over last year). Other than that I agree with all of this.

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. - Dorothy V. DeNicola, 63, of Westerleigh, a retired legal secretary who was devoted to her family, died Friday in Richmond University Medical Center, West Brighton.
Born Dorothy V. Radu in Brooklyn, she graduated from Bay Ridge High School there. She moved to Westerleigh in 1972.
Mrs. DeNicola had a 40-year career as a legal secretary, retiring in 2011 from Weitz & Niedle in Manhattan, where she had worked for 30 years. Prior to that, she worked for 10 years at Sobel, Ross and Fleigel, also in Manhattan.
She enjoyed traveling, especially to Arizona, and taking trips to Atlantic City. She loved to play bingo and games on the computer. But more than anything else, she enjoyed time with her family, especially her grandchildren.
Mrs. DeNicola was a former parishioner of Our Lady of Mount Carmel-St. Benedicta R.C. Church, West Brighton. While her children were younger and attending the school, she was active in the PTA and other school activities.
"She was a goodhearted mother, she would bend over backwards for anyone whothat needed help and she would give you her last dollar if you told her you needed help. She always cared so much about people and worried more about them than she did about herself. She was just a super, loving person," said her husband, Michael A. DeNicola.
Mrs. DeNicola attended St. Teresa's R.C. Church, Castleton Corners.
Surviving, along with Michael, her husband of 44 years, are her son, Michael E.; her daughters, Patricia DeNicola and Dorothy Longo, and four grandchildren.
The funeral will be Tuesday from the Colonial Funeral Home, New Dorp, with a mass at 9:30 a.m. in St. Teresa's Church. Arrangements include private burial.

PARENTS LOVE TO BOAST THAT THEIR kids know more about computers than they do, but for Robert and Robin Baratz of Newton, Mass., that would be a bit of an understatement. Their son Adam has been working for Borland International, a leading softwaremaker, since last August as one of its more than 3,000 "beta" testers—unpaid computer users, who, often working at home, put prototype programs through their paces to uncover glitches. So capable is Adam that not until the Boston Globe profiled him last February did his immediate supervisers at Borland learn an essential fact about him: He is 9 years old.
The fourth-grader, who may be the youngest beta tester in the country, also works for Microsoft, Brøderbund and other software leaders. "He's a terrific kid," says Borland chairman Philippe Kahn, who met Baratz at a computer users' convention in Boston last June. "He came up to me, very self-assured. I said, 'We'll put you to work.' " Kahn briefed the testing department's manager about Adam's age, but apparently the manager didn't pass it on. Meantime, Baratz was happily conducting his glitch hunts—a calendar program that froze when multiple daily appointments were scheduled, a drawing program that produced pictures pitted with tiny holes. "I'm like a detective investigating a murder," he says. "A bad bug can be murder on your computer."
The son of a physician and an artist, Baratz, who has a 12-year-old sister, started playing with Dad's home computer when he was 2 and was soon uncovering bugs in educational programs. Last year he had Adam's Beta Testers business cards printed—a brainstorm of his father's as a way to cut down on his software expenditures—and began contacting software companies. Introducing himself "as one president to another" to Microsoft chief Bill Gates, he wrote, "Don't let my age fool you. I found my first bug when I was 5."
Baratz can spend three months ferreting out problems. How many hours a day he works on his 486 PC clone is a matter of friendly dispute. He claims it's only an hour—2, tops. And he has other interests: sports, Cub Scouts, composing on the piano. His mother says he spends whole evenings at the computer. "Okay," he admits. "But not before I do my homework."

Stranger in Paradise
Hawaii Five-O's Jack Lord Played Tough and Kept to Himself Until the End
Lord, who appeared on Broadway and in dozens of movies and TV shows, was also an accomplished artist; New York City's Metropolitan Museum of Art acquired two of his prints when he was only 20. But to fans around the world, Lord will always be McGarrett, the stolid bachelor with steely blue eyes, narrow suit and lacquered pompadour that boosted his 6'2" frame.
Under those formidable tresses was an even more formidable man. An intensely private person known on the set as a temperamental perfectionist, Lord wielded an iron hand in the production—and shared in its profits. After Lord walked off the set during a 1974 spat with producer Bill Finnegan, the acting governor of Hawaii pleaded with him to return. Lord came back and Finnegan later left. "Jack was a star," says Doug Mossman, a Five-O actor and now general manager of the Hawaii IMAX Theatre. "And you were aware of it. In the show, Steve McGarrett was in charge. In life, Jack Lord was in charge."
That extended to every facet of the production. Lord liked poetry (e.e. cummings was a favorite), so cast and crew sometimes had to listen to his readings during lunch. Lord despised cigarettes, so Hawaii Five-O was smoke-free long before any legal mandate. Lord would rewrite scripts and expect actors to memorize new lines in minutes. Yet he also drew praise for casting native Hawaiians. Even so, Kam Fong, 79, who played Det. Chin Ho Kelly for 10 years, says Lord "never, ever socialized. I was never invited to Jack's house for coffee or anything."
Lord spent even less time with his own flesh and blood, admitting that he had lost contact in the 1960s with his parents and siblings. Born John Joseph Patrick Ryan in 1920 in New York City, he grew up in middle-class Queens, the second son of steamship-company executive William Lawrence Ryan and homemaker E. Josephine O'Brien. Lord was a serious student with little time for dating at John Adams High School. He won a scholarship to New York University, where he studied to be an art teacher, but quit to enter the Merchant Marines in 1942.
That year, working on a ship in the Mediterranean, Lord fell in love and married a passenger. Apparently they spent only a short time together; Lord told a Motion Picture Magazine reporter in 1964 that he was back at sea when she wrote to tell him she was pregnant. He claimed she didn't want to live with him in the U.S. and demanded a divorce. Lord said he saw his son only once, as an infant, and that the boy died at 13 in an accident.
Returning to the States, Lord buried himself in his work, becoming an illustrator for the U.S. Maritime Service in Washington. He also appeared in training films for the service, which was how he discovered acting. Back home in New York after the war, selling Cadillacs by day and studying acting at night, Lord soon landed parts in the new medium of TV In 1952 he married Marie de Narde, then a clothing designer. According to actress Betsy Palmer, a friend, "Marie was older than Jack. She took care of everything for him. They were very, very close." In 1955 the couple moved to L.A., where Lord was mainly cast in the roles of thugs and cowpokes.
When offered the role of Honolulu cop in 1968, Lord jumped at the chance. "This show will be it for me. I'll never leave the islands. They'll have to carry me out," Lord told TV Guide in 1971. After Five-O ended, he continued to paint and busy himself with such causes as Save the Whales. Driving his Cadillac with Five-O plates or walking on the beach sporting his ascot, Lord was an island fixture until just a few years ago, when illness kept him inside. (For years, Marie denied rumors that he had Alzheimer's disease.) Although Jack and Marie never had children, Kam Fong says Lord loved them: "He was a softy, but he didn't want anybody to know it."

As fears over swine flu continue to rise in Israel, there have been a couple of unusual suggestions as to how to defeat the outbreak.
Top paediatrician Dr Ilan Youngster has warned that there could be a risk of infection from kissing a mezuzah. He recommended that people stop kissing them.
Former Sephardi chief rabbi Shlomo Amar commented that while he was not thrilled by the suggestion, those who wanted to follow the recommendation could put their hand near the mezuzah and kiss it.
Meanwhile, Rabbi Amar has a different strategy for beating the flu. He called on the public to fast last Wednesday, on Rosh Chodesh Ellul, in order to defeat the pandemic.
We always thought that hot drinks were the best strategy.
