uhhh yeah old. ive known this since how many weeks ago?
still havn't unlocked him yet but o well
Super Mario Galaxy.....all I have to say is WHAT AN AMAZING GAME. It was so much fun. The best Mario game up to date! The ending was awesome! It made my wife cry when she saw it. I just finished getting the 120th star last night. To be honest, I wasn't really expecting much from obtaining the last star. Maybe a new galaxy with only 3 or 4 new stages. Or even the option to play around Peach's Castle and explore around there. But, then after I saw the credits the second time, not only was there an extended ending I also hear this--> Super Luigi Galaxy! At first I thought, "Ok, that's pretty cool to play as Luigi. Maybe you get to use him in the "new world" Rosalina was talking about." Nope! Come to find out you travel all the galaxies that mario did while collecting yet another set of 120 stars!
Seems like Nintendo might be hiding something within Galaxy seeing as they want you to collect 240 stars instead of 120. Luigi runs faster and jumps a hell of a lot higher. Looks like I will have more nights without sleep. This is will continue to be fun!!

I'm impressed you managed to avoid hearing about that before playing or beating the game. So many people post it as common knowledge instead of a spoiler.
I try to avoid hearing anything "secret" about a game until I beat it. To me that gives me more enjoyment of playing the game instead of making the game like a chore and trying to complete it before anyone else just to obtain a secret. As for my previous post, I was just sharing my opinion on how great of a game it was and for others to share their opinion on that. The reason that *spoiler* is within the title is because you still have some out there who have not completed nor have played this title yet and I would not want to spoil the secret for them. If they want to know the secrets before playing the game, that's fine. If not, that's cool too. There are people that like spoilers and there are others that don't, but as I have said, I'm just sharing my opinion of the game. Nothing more.

i hate how the ending is. i mean its so epic seeing bowser "die" and you get your hopes up that he comes back but doesnt... but hey i finished the luigi quest with the wii zapper! arent i great
I knew about luigi and I still stopped at only 61 stars and beat bowser. I didn't keep going because honestly it was pretty boring. It was too easy for me. IS it just me? Or does everyone think its extremely easy?

Been playing alot of WarCraft III lately, anyone up for game? Just message me, my account is the same as here and GT.
extremely easy... it kinda bored me out too
I just need 12 purple comets with Luigi... but... purple coins are so hard and more with Luigi... and... that bugs me too much.
I've seen all the game as Luigi is just a repetition (and I collected all with Luigi except 12 purple comets) Ana purchased me the DBZ BT3 and I will play it on Christmas. She will be playing another game I have for her too.
For now I have FFIII for the DS and I do not get bored with DBZ BT3 but, I will be playing dual DBZ BT3 and SSBB when is released... so the purple coments will be waiting too long... it's good for my TV's health... I got so bugged in the Dreadnought galaxy purple coins with Mario, and on an easier one I got mad with Luigi (a lot harder) I dunno wanna imagine that one with Luigi... so the star collection is over for me.
I loved the game 10/10
First 60 starts are so easy... go ahead for the purple comets...some are hard, and some starts are hard too (dark Luigi runs as hell)Originally Posted by T3kNi9e
It's so sad to say you did the basics and say that the game is easy.

Standalone courses in ethics are common in medicine, psychology, and other related disciplines, and practitioners in many fields are required to obtain continuing education in ethics annually. What about midwifery? What do midwives need? What should be required?
Tuesday, May 18, 2010
Midwifery Education and Ethics
How should ethics be incorporated into midwifery training? What are the basic competencies for ethical practice? Some midwifery training programs offer a course in ethics/law/professional standards, whereas other require a short workshop or independent study. We'd like to hear from midwifery students, educators, and practicing midwives about this subject.

Admit It: Women Are Smarter Than Men
Multiple studies reveal that female leaders are more effective than their male counterparts. The question is, what are you going to do with this information?
Multiple studies reveal that female leaders are more effective than their male counterparts. The question is, what are you going to do with this information?
We're not doomed. But balanced gender representation is going to take some serious work.
Why a lack of women in tech hurts the industry, and what is already being done to help close the gender gap.
Slaughter commended having ambition and drive, but cautioned women to be realistic about the fact that children take time to raise and that the preferences women have as they grow older will change over time.
By Grace Nasri (Managing Editor, FindTheBest)
The WIE Symposium in New York featured a range of high-profile speakers including Prof. Anne-Marie Slaughter of Princeton, who was the former director of policy planning for the US State Department. One of the highlights of the event was Saturday's spotlight on Slaughter, who spoke largely about her now famous article "Why Women Still Can't Have it All" published by The Atlantic.
I don't see images of the women happily combining motherhood and career on magazine covers, but I do see her in my own life.
By Tara Sophia Mohr (Founder & Principal, Wise Living)
In this month's Atlantic cover story, Anne-Marie Slaughter writes about stepping down from her "dream job" in order to be more available to her teenage sons, and concludes that "women still can't have it all."
Many of us remember a similar cover story from about 10 years ago — Lisa Belkin's New York Times Magazine article on the "Opt Out Revolution."
Here's the problem: stories like Belkin's and Slaughter's about women dropping out, ramping down or finding
Know what you want and start doing it with an infectious leadership style.
The term "having it all" makes women seems "piggy" and elitist.
By Anne-Marie Slaughter (Contributor, The Atlantic)
For everyone out there who cares about gender equality, work-family balance, or however else we choose to frame the complex debate that my article "Why Women Still Can't Have It All" has (re)ignited, let's start by agreeing on one thing: Let's ban the term "mommy wars" forever. A more patronizing, trivializing label would be hard to find. So let us all commit to never, ever use "mommy" as an adjective. No "mommy wars" and no "mommy track". And while we're at it, let's also abandon "catfight" in favor of "debate, conversation, engagement with an important issue."
Rebecca Traister has convinced me to stop
"…the best advice, given the sorry state of the work world, is to work really, really hard before you have children so that you have the skills – and the bargaining power – to continue your career on your own terms after you have children."
By Joan C. Williams & Rachel Dempsey (Authors, The New Girls' Network)
First, thanks to Anne-Marie Slaughter for peeling the band-aid off an open wound of American womanhood. It's our dirty little secret: Balancing work and family is still impossible for elite American women because of the way we structure work, family, love, marriage, careers, masculinity and dignity.
Yes. It's that bad. Fifteen years ago, when I began to write Unbending Gender: Why Family and Work Conflicts and What To Do About It, I thought that all we needed to do was to reshape work and careers. The key problem for women, I pointed out, is that workplaces still are
By Richard Florida (Senior Editor, The Atlantic)
"What if the modern, post-industrial economy is simply more congenial to women than to men?" asks Hanna Rosin in her widely-discussed Atlantic essay, "The End of Men."
"The attributes that are most valuable today — social intelligence, open communication, the ability to sit still and focus — are, at a minimum, not predominantly male." Rosin argues that the post-industrial playing field has been tilting toward attributes associated with women (such as their superior social and communication skills) and away from physical skills essential in industrial

We all fall prey to bad habits in various facets of our life. Money is no different. Bad money habits developed from myths and perceptions could hold you back from being rich. Take a look at the habits and see if you have been guilty of any, or all :( , of these:
1. I like to time the market
Investment returns are never equal to investor returns. Confused? Consider this: Dalbar Inc., a US based research company discovered that from 1985 to 2005 the S&P 500 averaged an annual return of 11.9% but the average investor during the same period made a paltry 3.7%. That's because the poor investor tries to time the market. No wonder, at 21,000 sensex we all are aggressive and at 8,000 sensex we all are conservative. Rather than TIMING the market 'TIME in the market´ is important.
2. I have 10 LIC policies. So, I'm insured
Most people believe this and that's the reason why the average sum assured of a person buying insurance in India is a mere Rs.90,000. That's because we mix investment with insurance. You should never INVEST in insurance, you should BUY insurance. By that I mean, Term Insurance (a pure risk insurance policy). But we never buy them. Why? Nobody sells them! What sells is junk insurance policies which gives the sales agent high commissions.
Got the following SMS from a pesky insurance agent the other day - The SMS reads: "PAY 15YRS GET DOUBLE OF UR PREMIUM FOR LIFE TIME Tax Free By LIC of India FOR DETAILS PLS CALL XYZ". Sounds like an awesome deal? Complete bull. For those who like number crunching, a quick excel workout will reveal the returns at a measly 7.3%.
3. Gold and Real Estate. The perfect mix, na?
You buy gold as a fear asset or a hedge asset. Fear? Fear that something may go wrong & so gold will be the safe haven. Hedge? A hedge against inflation. Real Estate is an asset with too much sensationalism. I keep hearing stories like this: "My father bought this property in Bandra for just 5,00,000. We were lucky, yaar". Whoever, thinks this is fantastic, please use an excel sheet to calculate the returns. You'll be surprised. I am not against Gold and Real Estate as part of your portfolio. Have them, but do not consider them as growth assets. No. They're not. They are saving assets. They will give you real return (post-inflation) of 1-2%. Of course there will be spikes in between but over longer periods (more than 10 years) they will never give equity kind of returns. Never.
4. Investments? I'm too young to start
This is the most common reason that we overhear when we ask someone about saving for their future. People feel their limited income will not spare anything to save. But believe me even a small amount kept aside every month can go a long way. So, even if the amount is petty what's more important is that you are saving. If you need 50 Lacs after 20 years then you need to start saving Rs.5,500 per month from today. But wait for 10 years and the saving requirement grows to Rs.22,500. Need we say more?
5 Tax Planning = Financial Planning
"Saar, this is the last week for making this investment" says the insurance agent (more on this later). It works amazingly well especially if your HR is behind you to give the 80C documents else your tax will be deducted.
Result? You end up buying a junk product without really getting the big picture. Apparently, for a majority of us, Tax Planning (forced saving) = Financial Planning.
6.FD's, PPF, NSC are the best and safest
No doubt all these are safe but they are best in terms of savings and not investment. Remember, Savings is linear; investing increases your wealth. That's because the post-tax return that you earn on these products will hardly beat inflation. As Warren Buffet puts it in his latest letter to shareholders "Bonds promoted as offering risk-free returns are now priced to deliver return-free risk."
The accompanied chart shows the amount you would end up accumulating after investing Rs.20,000 per annum in various investment products for 10 years starting 2002
Let's decode this: Assuming average inflation was 7% in this period (in reality it was much higher) your savings should have grown to Rs.2,95,000 to just beat inflation. Just check yourself if you have actually become richer or poorer.
7. I am too young to plan for retirement
If you feel you are too young to think about retirement you are wrong. One good thing about you being young is that compound interest and time is on your side. The earlier you start the better it is to benefit from the power of compounding. More than the stock or mutual fund, the age at which you start investing determines how much wealth you build.
BONUS. You know you are wasting your time (& money) if you hear this from a sales agent:
If you have been on the receiving end of all this $*&*^$# you are not alone. Rich, Poor, Educated, Illiterate, Men, Women, Doctors, Engineers etc. have been all duped in the past at least once. After all mis-selling is only half the story. The bitter pill, the other half, the un-said story is MIS-BUYING!

Thanks Jyoti. Regarding "bonus" points, we keep hearing them from clients and personal experience. They may sound funny, but believe me, its dreadful sometimes how you end up making costly mistakes with your hard earned money.

Maisani's New West Village Watering Hole // ElevenEleven Goes Weekly // A Very Catty V Day
(Will Benjamin Maisani giving Bedlam a West Village brother?)
Overheard At A Party
Rumor has it that Eastern Bloc co-owner Benjamin Maisani is working on opening another gay bar, this time in the West Village. We hear he's hit some roadblocks, with progress dragging in ways it never did with his East Village establishments, Eastern Bloc and Bedlam. Things are starting to progress, however, and Maisani expects to open the new gay watering hole sometime this spring. Meanwhile, Ladyfag tells us that her monthly party ElevenEleven goes weekly starting this Friday night. Start getting your looks together now!
The Cat's Out of the Bag
Lonely hearts, take comfort: One of the most anticipated new parties of the season is making its big debut on Valentine's Day. Susanne Bartsch is teaming up with Patricia Field to launch Catwalk at the newly redesigned and re-opened Marquee with a special Valentine's Day Ball. This should be a love-in of cosmic proportions!
The Gay Bar Re-Shuffle
Oh, the ever-shifting sands of New York gay nightlife! Someone's always moving on or moving out, while something else is launching. This week, we hear that Will Clark's long-running Porno Bingo is on the move again after The Ritz gave it the axe. Clark tells us he's confident he'll have a new venue sorted out soon after his final show at the HK bar on Feb 7. Meanwhile, Mocha Lite and Misty Meaner are launching their latest collaboration, Mermaids Only, at Bartini on Feb 6. Across the river, Steven McEnrue, one of the masterminds behind Metropolitan and This 'N That (don't call it TNT!) is planning to expand North Brooklyn's gay offerings this spring with a new venue he's calling Spanky's as well as a year-round café in The Met's backyard.

Upcoming Weekends
New to Pine Cove?
Do not create an account if you have come to camp before. You already have one.
The Timbers, one of our newest camps, has more to offer than just tall trees. Your 8th and 9th grader can enjoy the great outdoors by going out on Lake Palestine for some boat sports, blobbing on our very own Lake Lackawanna, wakeboarding on our brand new wake park, trying a hand at 3D archery, and completing our ropes challenge courses. Our lighted sports field even makes it possible to enjoy cool night games! In our comfortable cabins, huge dining hall, the Okanogan game room, and gym you can always find a way to cool off from the Texas heat. With days packed full of awesome activities, hilarious skits, crazy dances, and intentional time with some of the coolest counselors around, time at the Timbers is guaranteed to be the best 6 days of your 365!
We recognize that these two grades are very similar, and by pairing them together, we are able to offer very intentional programming. It is our hope that this will make for a more fun and potentially life-changing camp experience.

Hat-trick for Alan Howard at FN awards
It was Alan Howard's night at the second annual Financial News Awards for Excellence in Institutional Hedge Fund Management, Europe, at London's One Mayfair last night, with the founder of Brevan Howard Asset Management taking home a trio of prizes.
Over 200 senior executives from the hedge fund industry turned out to see Howard scoop the awards for Outstanding Individual Contribution (Editorial Choice), Best Hedge Fund Manager Overall and, for the second consecutive year, the Best Hedge Fund Manager in Global Macro.
In his acceptance speech, Howard thanked his colleagues and investors and expressed strong views on the role that hedge funds play in the economy.
BlueCrest's Leda Braga, last year's winner of the editorial choice award, was voted the Most Influential Woman in the European Hedge Fund Industry for the second year in a row, a prize she won by the biggest margin of any of the categories, with the highest individual score of any single nominee.
BlueCrest also won the Best Hedge Fund Manager in Multi-Strategy category, beating Michael Hintze's CQS. But CQS did not go home empty-handed, clinching the Best Hedge Fund Manager in Credit award.
In the evening's closest race, York Capital won the Best Hedge Fund Manager in Event-Driven category, just ahead of Omni Partners. In another tightly-contested category, Cantab Capital Partners saw off competition from older rivals CFM and Winton Capital Management to win the award for the Best Hedge Fund Manager in Managed Futures by just 0.01 points out of five.
The remaining strategy categories went to Marshall Wace (Long/Short Equities) and Prologue Capital (Fixed Income).
In the investor categories, Stenham Asset Management won Best Fund of Hedge Funds Manager, while Dutch pension fund giant PGGM Investments tied with The Wellcome Trust to win Most Pioneering European Institutional Investor in Hedge Funds.
Paul Findley's Bramshott Capital, which was backed by his former employer Moore Capital, won New Hedge Fund Management Firm of the Year, while the GSA Quantitative Futures fund picked up the award for the New Hedge Fund of the Year.
The event also featured the second annual FN 40 Under 40 of the Hedge Fund Industry, Financial News' editorial pick of the brightest up-and-coming men and women in the industry.
The complete list of winners:
1) Best Hedge Fund Manager in Long/Short Equities - Marshall Wace 2) Best Hedge Fund Manager in Event Driven - York Capital 3) Best Hedge Fund Manager in Managed Futures - Cantab Capital 4) Best Hedge Fund Manager in Fixed Income - Prologue Capital 5) Best Hedge Fund Manager in Credit - CQS 6) Best Hedge Fund Manager in Global Macro - Brevan Howard Asset Management 7) Best Multi-Hedge Fund Manager - BlueCrest Capital Management 8) Most Pioneering European Institutional Investor in Hedge Funds - PGGM Investments and The Wellcome Trust 9) New Hedge Fund Management Firm of the Year - Bramshott Capital 10) New Hedge Fund of the Year - GSA Quantitative Futures 11) Best Fund of Hedge Funds Manager - Stenham Asset Management 12) Most Influential Woman in the European Hedge Fund Industry - Leda Braga, BlueCrest Capital Management 13) Best Hedge Fund Manager Overall - Brevan Howard Asset Management 14) Award for Outstanding Individual Contribution (Editorial Choice) - Alan Howard, Brevan Howard Asset Management
For the full list of rising stars, click here http://bit.ly/wNslPy.
Determining the winners was a two-stage process. First, Financial News compiled shortlists of five nominations for each of the 13 categories, considering, where available: recent investment performance, risk-adjusted investment performance over three years, fund flows, reputation amongst peers, significant hires, innovations and business developments, and any other considerations it deemed pertinent. Negative factors, such as a flagship fund being underwater, a bad loss, a regulatory or legal investigation or exposure to a fraud, could result in the exclusion of a potential nominee. Financial News tested its views confidentially with selected contacts in the market, and used this feedback to refine the shortlists.
Then, the shortlists were sent to over 40 judges, comprising senior hedge fund managers, funds-of-funds managers, prime brokers, investment consultants, and other advisers to the hedge fund industry.
Each judge, acting independently of the others, gave a mark out of five to each nominee where they felt their knowledge allowed: one for good, five for excellent, based purely on their opinion. Judges could give the same mark to more than one nominee, or give no mark at all if they wished. The judges were barred from voting for themselves.
Once all the judges had returned their scores, the marks were automatically collated to protect anonymity. The average score for each nominee was calculated. The winner in each category was the nominee with the highest average.

The Role of Economics in Eating Choices and Weight Outcomes
Stay Connected
Agriculture Information Bulletin No. (AIB-791) 24 pp, October 2004
This report uses data from the USDA's 1994-96 Continuing Survey of Food Intakes by Individuals and the 1994-96 Diet and Health Knowledge Survey to ascertain whether economic factors help explain weight differences among adults. Weight differs among demographic subgroups, and differences in specific behaviors, health awareness, and eating patterns can be linked to weight outcomes. An economic framework helps explain how socioeconomic factors affect an individual's ability to achieve good health. Our results suggest that income, household composition, and formal education help explain variation in behaviors and attitudes that are significantly associated with weight outcomes.

Is there anything better on a Saturday afternoon than a spicy Bloody Mary and some simple — but delicious — bacon and eggs? Didn't think so. Brunch is the weekend's saving grace. It doesn't happen too early; it's a social event almost everyone enjoys; and it offers just the right amount of indulgence. And, there's no one ...

CHAMPION -- The Champion Local School District made the pages of Forbes Magazine.
A personal finance article ``Midwest Dominates 2013 Best Schools For Your Housing Buck'' in the latest Forbes mentions Champion schools as one of the winners in its latest survey of the ``Best Schools For Your Housing Buck.''
The survey found that the best high-performing public school districts with affordable housing are in Ohio, Minnesota and Wisconsin, according to the magazine.
Board of Education President David Mahan said the article states that Champion ``combines high-ranking schools with an almost unbelievable Zillow Home Value Index of $40,300.''
``As a resident in Champion, I was very happy to see this,'' Mahan said. ``For our small community to be mentioned in a national magazine is quite an honor. We couldn't be happier.''
The article indicates the ``Bang for the Buck'' index involves dividing quality score into home price to come up with the intersection of price and quality.
Mahan said the district has received many ``Excellent'' ratings on state report cards over the years.
School officials noted at their recent meeting that Champion schools had the highest district report card in the Trumbull County with all A's an B's, and ranked well with ``sister'' school districts in the state on overall progress.

I hope this is the right forum for this question.
I'm curious as to whether there are any modern analyses or stats that have been applied to teams from the past. For example, comparing the 1967 Cowboys vs Rams defense.
Thanks for any pointers!

I'll try a variant of my previous question: Are there any 'team strength' metrics? That is, are there any metrics of a teams overall strengths that are more sophisticated than 'points differential'?
To answer my own question, I found a metric: SRS .

After Her Breakout Role in Grease, the Aussie Star Proves to Hollywood That She's Here to Stay
It's 12 months later, and the Versailles Room of the Riviera Hotel in Las Vegas is in pandemonium. Anglo-Australian Olivia Newton-John is winding up her cabaret act when, suddenly, right there onstage, jiving like some kind of tourist gone ape, is—yipes!—John Travolta! Olivia and J.T. boogey through their No. 1 Grease single, You're the One that I Want, and then harmonize on the movie's libidinous Summer Nights. "The audience went wild," exults Livvy, "and we remembered all the dance steps. It was the kind of show you wish all your friends had seen."
Well, if they haven't seen it, they've undoubtedly screened it. Olivia had not only plucked Carr's plummy role but also extracted equal billing with Travolta (to compensate for a fire-sale $125,000 fee). Grease has grossed $58 million in its first month and has so far successfully repelled nibbles from Jaws 2 to become the box office leviathan of the summer. Also, the double-LP sound track of Grease has gone quadruple platinum and is selling at a faster rate than Saturday Night Fever. Now if matchmaker Reddy were smart she'd pair Gov. Jerry Brown with her other best single pal, Olivia, who might well win over any of the conservative Proposition 13 crowd still feeling queasy about Linda Ronstadt.
So much for the old crack that if white bread could sing it would sound like Olivia Newton-John. Grease marks the metamorphosis of Olivia from the ingenue category, both on screen and in life, into a tough-minded, 29-year-old career woman. No less than the man from the New York Times pronounced her performance in Grease as "very funny and utterly charming." Which is not to say that Liv aims to be this generation's Gidget. She'll build on the movie-record parlay from Grease, while the music kingdom has long since been at her 7½-B feet.
In the five years since Newton-John arrived in the States, she's collected six platinum albums (two double platinum), seven gold singles (I Honestly Love You, Have You Never Been Mellow, etc.), three Grammys and a closet full of lesser tributes. The most contentious, though, was her 1974 Country Music Association Award, which triggered a xenophobic Nashville backlash from those then traditionalists Dolly Parton and Johnny Paycheck. Now, ironically, Parton and Paycheck have pranced over to the pop side of the pasture while Olivia shrewdly went out of her way to cut her Don't Stop Believing LP in Nashville. Last year Dolly touchingly accepted Olivia's eighth American Music Award for her new (and absent) buddy. Attests Newton-John: "Country fans are the most loyal of all." The cashbox in her head is now clicking again, and what Olivia is wary of is TV overexposure. She's had two successful ABC specials, but is mindful that television didn't exactly boost the recording careers of names she is too polite to say out loud, like Cher and Tennille. Newton-John may still be white bread, but there's a new element of fiber that's emerged with Grease.
"It's always been in the back of my mind to do films," says Olivia, but she insisted on a screen test with Travolta and wasn't bashful about demanding rewrites of the script. "I didn't want to go into something I couldn't handle or have something to say about," she observes. Travolta supported Livvy's insistence that her goody-goody character be toughened. "I was playing a naive girl, but I didn't want her to be sickly. I kept trying to give her a little strength. John," she goes on, "gave me a lot of confidence. We became good friends and spent a lot of time together." Travolta, a decent man who has a way of coming off stiff in quotes, says, "I admire her as a talent and person."
Without proof, tongues tattled during production that their friendship caused Olivia to split with her off-again British manager-boyfriend, Lee Kramer, 26. "That had nothing to do with Travolta," Liv protests. "Lee and I had broken up before I started on the film. We had arguments like every couple. We were both new to this country and he was new to being a manager. He was criticized and I was vulnerable to it." Kramer, who had already made his own bundle importing cowboy boots to Europe, left the family business to take over Liv's career. "It was my own insecurity that undid me more than anything anybody said," admits Lee. "Olivia and I tried to split professionally, and that didn't work. So we split personally." That wasn't the answer either, they found. "Now our relationship is good again," he insists. "Fine. Terrific."
Olivia's own caution about lasting ties—she and Kramer keep separate homes—dates to a lonely childhood scarred by her own parents' divorce. Born in Cambridge to a university don (her grandfather was Nobel Prize-winning physicist Max Born), she moved to Australia at 5 when her father became a master at the University of Melbourne. Her parents traumatically separated when Liv was 11 (breaking up is the subject of Changes, one of the few songs she's written). Then Olivia dismayed her scholarly father by dropping out of high school and by 16 was back in London's music scene and soon engaged to English rocker Bruce Welch of the Shadows. Later, with Kramer in tow (he'd glommed onto her on a Monaco vacation), she made the move to the U.S. at the urging of Reddy, godmother to Hollywood's Aussie colony. "England remains very dear to both of us," Lee says now. "But the sun shines here."
That means specifically on the five-acre, ocean-view ranch in the Malibu hills that Newton-John shares with seven horses, three Great Danes, a bulldog, an Irish setter and two cats. "I was a typical girl who loved horses but couldn't afford them," she says. During her last Vegas gig Olivia leased jets back home for daily afternoon rides before returning to perform twice each night. If she hadn't made it in showbiz, she says she would have been a veterinarian, and, outraged by accounts of Japanese fishermen slaughtering dolphins, she and Reddy recently threatened to cancel their upcoming tours—even though Olivia is the No. 1 singing star in Japan, male or female. "I'm not a vegetarian, and I've worn fur coats," she explains. "But I can't condone senseless killing." The Japanese government, as does almost everyone else, finally saw it Olivia's way. The tour's back on.
She has a gardener-handyman, but has been unable to find a permanent housekeeper. So Olivia cooks stolid English fare for visitors like her twice-married older sister, Rona, whose boyfriend, Jeff Conaway, played Travolta's buddy "Kenickie" in Grease. She and Lee give maybe three big parties a year and are regulars on the circuit. If Liv is photographed in a dress she never wears it again—"which gives me quite an extensive wardrobe," she confesses.
One mark of Newton-John's new assurance—not to mention ambition—is that she has laid a $10 million suit on MCA to get out of what she considers a dead-end contract. (The label is countersuing for $1 million.) Marriage is only a distant possibility, though Olivia says, "I would like children before I'm 35." There's talk about her starring in the Leslie Caron role in Allan Carr's remake of Lili. "We are not going out to prove that Olivia's the world's greatest dramatic actress," says Kramer. But Newton-John herself notes confidently, "There's a big upsurge in films that are funny and entertaining and romantic. So my timing is pretty good."

Watch and Pray Behold, I come quickly
It is words and scripture that we used to hear frequently. The importance of these words are fading. Let me assure you, Scripture is plain and no one has been able to erase or delete God's Holy word.
Surely when given the opportunity we would want to tell others, especially our families. And noting the severity of the outcome, we would pray for a way to enlighten others.

Hector Luna skied one to center field that plopped into Tony Gwynn Jr.'s glove, and that was enough for many Phillies fans at Citizens Bank Park.
Never mind that the Phillies trailed by one run with six more outs to make something happen. They were 0-21 before Wednesday when trailing after seven innings, and a ballpark that has contained so much positive energy in recent years was simply funereal.
The patrons filled the aisles and headed to the exits, a bolder statement than any heckle or boo. This brand of baseball is unwatchable. The Phillies have lost a season-high five games in a row, the latest a 6-5 defeat to Los Angeles on Wednesday night.

Hints from Heloise: Stay healthy by stopping spread of germs
Dear Heloise: Working in a pediatric practice, one of the most common questions is: "How did I catch my child's cold, pink eye, sore throat, diarrhea, etc.?"
Most people do not realize how easy it is to catch an illness or how easy it is to not catch the same illness.
Liberally using bleach or disinfectant wipes or spray can reduce germ transmission tremendously. Wiping down doorknobs, refrigerator and microwave door handles, the toilet handle -- anything children touch after they cough, sneeze, vomit or wipe their noses will help reduce transmission of germs.
The same goes for older kids in college. Their immune systems are developed, but they forget what they learned in kindergarten.
Wash hands, and do not share drinking cups. The older kids pass around strep throat like you would not believe, not to mention other serious illnesses.
Since you have a large audience, you can help in prevention of colds. Thanks.
-- A Reader, Austin, Texas
Dear Reader: I'm "spreading" your words of wisdom against germs. Cold weather is coming up, so please wash your hands and don't spread germs! -- Heloise
Dear Heloise: I read in your column about raising the water level in the washing machine to help clean it. Just slowly reverse the water-level selector, and the water will start to run again. With the lid up, it is easy to view the level. -- Mel in Winston-Salem, N.C.
Dear Mel: It depends on the washer, but this will work with some machines. This is one way to keep the washer clean.
Do you have stubborn laundry stains to deal with? Well, I have a lot of answers in my eight-page Heloise's Handy Stain Guide for Clothing pamphlet.
A few of the stains covered are lipstick, chewing gum and pet stains. For a copy, just send $5 and a long, self-addressed, stamped (65 cents) envelope to: Heloise, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001.
Some old wives' tales of treating stains don't work today, but here's one that still does: Rinse black clothing and stockings in clear water to which a couple of glugs of vinegar have been added. The vinegar removes soap residue that can cause dullness. -- Heloise
Send a great hint to: Heloise, P.O. Box 795000, San Antonio, TX 78279-5000. Fax: (210) 435-6473. E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com.

BRUSSELS, Belgium - NATO is expected to approve in the coming days a last-minute Greek request for extra counterterrorism help at next month's Olympic Games, alliance officials said Thursday.
The new plea - coming weeks after the alliance agreed to send air and sea patrols and experts in biochemical weapons - underscores fears that the Aug. 13-29 games in Athens could provide a high-profile target for terrorists.
NATO ambassadors meeting Thursday were supportive of the request for assistance with "counterterrorism aspects" of security, but no decision was made while technical and procedural details are worked out, officials said.
"NATO is responding to a specific request from Greece," said U.S. Ambassador to NATO Nicholas Burns. "The U.S. fully supports and expects a positive response from NATO to assist our ally Greece."
A NATO official said on condition of anonymity that the alliance was expected to agree as early as next Wednesday to support Greece.
A U.S. official in Washington said this week that the United States has committed 400 special forces soldiers to help protect the Olympics.
The United States is discussing with the Greek government whether the soldiers will be positioned inside or outside the country, the official told The Associated Press, also speaking on condition of anonymity.
NATO headquarters refused to elaborate on the new request, but officials said issues of basing and command and control had yet to be worked out.
In Athens, the top Greek law enforcement official insisted foreign troops will not be deployed inside the country.
"There will not be any American, Portuguese or French army in the streets, the venues or as snipers on rooftops or in any other Olympic-related facilities," Public Order Minister Giorgos Voulgarakis told a parliamentary committee on the Olympics.
"The planning calls for (the NATO force) to be ready within a matter of hours," Voulgarakis told a private television station. "It has not been decided yet where the force will be based, but most likely it will be in a neighboring country of Greece," he said.

Associated Press Writer
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) -- Tropicana Casinos and Resorts is close to a deal with its lenders that would prevent it from having to file for bankruptcy.
The deal, which could be approved by debt holders on Thursday, is designed to avoid harming Tropicana's casinos in other states, including Nevada. That's where regulators said this week they would more closely examine the company's operations in light of its having lost a license to operate the Tropicana Casino and Resort in Atlantic City.
New Jersey's Casino Control Commission on Wednesday extended the authority of a former state Supreme Court Judge, Gary S. Stein, who had been overseeing the Tropicana as a trustee since the license denial a week ago.
Stein will now serve in the dual role of trustee and conservator, and will recommend a buyer for the Tropicana to the commission, which must approve it.
He said commission staff met Wednesday morning with Tropicana lawyers, as well as agents for the holders of the Tropicana's main debt, and worked out a deal under which the lenders will not demand immediate repayment of the loans -- a move that Tropicana said could force it into bankruptcy.
"They've put in place proposals that they hope will be accepted (Thursday)," Stein said. "Everyone is interested in having this casino operate profitably and be attractive to potential buyers."
Paul O'Gara, a Tropicana lawyer, also said he was optimistic a deal with lenders would be approved soon.
The company has announced plans to sell its casinos in Atlantic City, Evansville, Ind., and Vicksburg, Miss., to pay off its debt.
Stein and commission chairwoman Linda Kassekert said at least a half-dozen prospective buyers have called to express interest in acquiring the Tropicana.
A ruling the commission made Wednesday will prevent Tropicana Casino and Resorts, and its parent company, Kentucky-based Columbia Sussex Corp., from realizing a windfall profit from the sale of the Atlantic City property.
The company will receive the lesser amount of the actual cost of the casino when it originally bought it, or the value of the property on the day it lost its license. Any excess funds will go to the state Casino Revenue Fund.
Wachovia Capital markets LLC downgraded Tropicana Entertainment on Wednesday to "underperform" due to its continuing troubles.

Peerless Pietersen takes Lancashire apart
Click here for all the latest news from the domestic cricket scene, including exclusive interviews, team news, match reports and photo galleries
Kevin Pietersen exhibited outstanding form en route to the highest score in this year's LV= County Championship as Surrey fought back against Lancashire on day three at Guildford.
In his only four-day appearance prior to next week's first Investec Test between England and South Africa, Pietersen showed no sign of rustiness as he clobbered eight sixes and 30 fours to reach 234 not out from 190 balls.
That helped Surrey to 430 for five in reply to Lancashire's 485 for seven declared, with Pietersen and Zander de Bruyn, who made 94, putting on 181 in 34 overs for the third wicket.
"It was great to spend time in the middle ahead of next week's Test. That must be my best innings in county cricket," said Pietersen.
"I've felt good for a while now, and it's a huge Test series coming up against South Africa."
Pietersen, who had played just five Twenty20 matches since the third Test against West Indies a month ago, took just 170 balls to reach his double hundred as he pulverised the champions' attack.
The 32-year-old reached his first hundred from 93 balls, the fastest in domestic first-class cricket this season, by pulling Simon Kerrigan for six.
Lancashire's slow left-armer came in from some fearful punishment as the England batsman marked a rare county appearance with a truly masterful performance.
Six of Pietersen's maximums came off Kerrigan, the first two driven over the sightscreen, and also a fair number of his fours. Kerrigan's toil was at least rewarded with the scalp of De Bruyn, who was leg before just before tea sweeping, but at the end of the day he was nursing figures of 1-152 from 23 overs.
The Red Rose opted to add to their overnight 425 for seven this morning and Steven Croft finished on a career-best 154 not out, with 19 fours and a six, after scoring 50 of the 60 runs added in 37 minutes of batting.
Surrey lost Rory Burns to the first ball of their reply, the left-hander losing his off stump when shouldering arms to Glen Chapple.
De Bruyn then helped Zafar Ansari add 49 for the second wicket, in careful fashion, before the latter edged Ajmal Shahzad to second slip just before lunch.
Pietersen was off the mark third ball, with a three guided to third man off Shahzad, and was unbeaten on four at lunch, which Surrey took at 53 for two.
Afterwards, however, he was soon on the attack - with Shahzad and Kerrigan his initial targets.
Shahzad was driven straight for four and twice whipped through midwicket for further boundaries, and when Kerrigan was switched to the Railway End his first ball was driven for six by Pietersen in an over costing 15.
Pietersen brought up his half-century from 42 balls and was soon pulling Chapple and paddle-sweeping Kerrigan for fours of contrasting style.
Power and deftness were combined as Pietersen, surging past his previous best for Surrey of 69, showed he is in the mood to take on South Africa in England's keenly-anticipated three-Test series.
Once he had registered a fifty of his own from 89 balls, de Bruyn also opened up to play some memorable strokes.
Pietersen was joined by Steven Davies after tea in a stand of 72, before the wicketkeeper-batsman was caught behind slashing at Tom Smith.
Further support was then provided by Jason Roy, who hit 38 before skying an attempted hook at Shahzad to long leg.
Pietersen motored on, reaching his double-hundred with a pulled single to deep midwicket off Shahzad, and the crowd stood to applaud him again when he walked off at the close.

David Perry, Plano's first black city council member, has died
David Perry Sr., a community volunteer and Plano's first black city councilman, died this week at the age of 75.
Perry served on the council from 1990 to 1996 and rose to the rank of mayor pro-tem. He also worked as president and vice chairman of the Maurine F. Bailey Cultural Foundation, which raised college scholarship money for underprivileged students in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
He died on Monday. The cause of death has not been released. City flags will be flown at half mast in his honor on Friday.
Perry ran unsuccessfully for office three times before his election in 1990. At a 2011 council meeting in which he was honored, he described facing resistance due to his race. His friends and campaign volunteers had to patrol the city at night to make sure his signs weren't stolen or vandalized, he said.
"We had to battle to get in," he said in 2011. "When I got in, I wasn't always accepted. I didn't have the delight of having camaraderie right off the bat."
But, he said, the city changed over the years. Some city leaders credited Perry with playing a role in that. Perry was honored with a plaque on a bridge in Chisolm Trail Park near his home in 2011.
"We have a different Plano now than we had then," he said. "We have come a long way. Plano is what it set out to be. That is an all-American city."
In fact, the city elected its first black mayor, Harry LaRosiliere, this year. Perry was at the city council chambers this summer to celebrate when LaRosiliere was sworn in.
But Perry prided himself in working with everyone in the community. During his term, he worked with local business leaders to organize a youth summit to address the city's east-west divide. And he supported Plano using Community Development Block Grants for low-income housing.
In 2011, described being interviewed by a reporter after his first city council meeting. The reporter said that Perry's election would be a good thing for Plano's black community.
"I said, no, this is going to be good for Plano. I have just been elected to an at-large seat and I am going to represent every citizen that Plano has," he said. "And that is what I tried to do."

Cigarette Starts House Fire
A cigarette tossed in the trash is blamed for starting a garage fire. Madison crews called to Kropf Avenue late Sunday afternoon and found heavy smoke rolling from the building but the blaze was already out. Firefighters say the owner was able to douse the flames and admitted he'd put a cigarette in the garbage. The garage isn't attached to the house so only it is damaged.

L.I.: Will Genarlow Wilson's case be a reason that people who would otherwise vote for you won't?
BAKER: "I think everything's going to be an issue in this campaign. ... I think what you do in all of these cases is you're straight forward. You tell people" why you took a position. As governor you don't have the luxury of focusing on just one issue. "I'm concerned about every issue."Why not investigate the whole Oaky Woods / Florida land deal thing? That seemed like it would be on a platter for a Democratic attorney general.
"We don't make a decision to investigate a matter based on political party affiliation." We look for state violations, not federal. "I'm not commenting that we've had an investigation. I'm just commenting that any matter that comes before us receives the same analysis."My bad on the second question. I blew it by bringing in the parties.

Mission Statement
The Sheridan Research and Extension Center (ShREC) is one of four University of Wyoming R&E sites in Wyoming, it is in the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Plant Hardiness Zone 4 with an average growing season of 120 days and average annual precipitation of 15 inches.
ShREC now has two active sites within Sheridan County.
First the Wyarno station site, originally established in 1915, is located nearly seven miles east of Sheridan near Wyarno. This site consists of approximately 300 acres of dry land with an elevation of approx. 3,800 feet.
The second and main office site located just south of Sheridan. In 2013 the University of Wyoming purchased and renovated the Watt Regional Agriculture Center on Sheridan College (SC) campus. It then subleases the Adams Ranch located directly south of the new office location. The Adams Ranch consists of approx. 400 acres, to be utilized for research and educational activities. Since most of the Adams Ranch is under irrigation, the scope of ShREC has expanded even further.
At ShREC we are able to provide dry land and irrigated land for studies to facilitate research and education on agriculture, forage management, horticulture, and viticulture (the science, study and production of grapes), along with various other possibilities.

The IACP/Target International Police Officer of the Year Award
By Liza Turner, Contributing Writer
Photographs by Convention Photo by Joe Orlando
he IACP and Target announced and recognized the IACP/Target International Police Officer of the Year winner and honorable mentions at an awards luncheon and ceremony during the 2012 IACP Conference in San Diego, California. IACP Immediate Past President Walter A. McNeil reiterated his gratitude toward the brave award recipients. "One of the greatest honors for me as IACP president is to recognize the men and women who put their lives on the line daily to protect the citizens they serve," he said. "This award can't be overemphasized because it exemplifies some of the very best that law enforcement has to offer."
Brad Brekke, vice president of corporate security at Target, expressed a similar sentiment, commending the caliber of the nominees as well as the general mission the award highlights: "Target's proud partnership with the IACP helps us build strong, healthy, and safe communities. That's why we are honored to jointly present the International Police Officer of the Year awards to these worthy individuals."
Lieutenant Kosheba, who is also a firefighter and a former paramedic, has been with the Pennsylvania State Police for more than 19 years. In a June 2011 raid, Kosheba relied on his extensive medical and law enforcement training when faced with the perfect storm of factors: an armed fugitive, a wounded fellow officer, and extreme terrain. When task force members arrived at the home of Matthew Connor to arrest him on burglary, firearms, and assault charges, the suspect fled. Pursued by officers and a K-9 unit, Connor opened fire with an AK-47 rifle, striking Deputy Kyle Pagerly. When officers rushed to Pagerly's side, they had to contend with a loyal police dog leery of those attempting to assist his devoted handler. As Kosheba stated, this was a concern reciprocal in nature: "It was clear from my very first conversation with Kyle that . . . he truly loved his K-9 partner, Jynx." In the midst of this harrowing scene, Kosheba returned fire, killing Connor. He then immediately focused his attentions on Pagerly, helping to calm Jynx and providing medical assistance. Along with fellow officers, Kosheba then carried the gravely wounded Pagerly to a police vehicle nearly a half mile away. As Pagerly was transported to the medical helicopter landing site, Kosheba continued to administer first aid—efforts that while ultimately unsuccessful, speak to Kosheba's commitment to his team.
When asked whether incidents like this remind him why he became a police officer or make him second-guess the decision, Kosheba remarked, "As altruistic as it sounds, I became a trooper to make our world a little better place. Every little kid dreams of what they want to be when they grow up . . . and while some lose touch with that dream over time, I was lucky to attain exactly what I wanted to be: a Pennsylvania State Trooper."
Sergeant Michael Brown responded to a 9-1-1 call describing an apparent kidnapping in September 2011. A Florida woman's estranged boyfriend had tricked her into getting into his car, assaulted her, and led police on a high-speed chase that ended as the car plunged into the Indian River. Despite the crash, the suspect continued to assault the woman by stabbing her repeatedly—thus provoking Brown to draw his service weapon and fire six times. With the assistance of an off-duty police officer, Brown then rescued the woman from the locked passenger door by breaking the window. The woman, who sustained more than 20 stab wounds and a broken wrist, is alive today in large part because of Brown's efforts.
According to Sheriff Jack Parker, incidents such as this are rare, but Brown's heroic actions were not. "Sergeant Mike Brown has been the example of the type of law enforcement officer who we would all hope to be when the most dangerous and life-threatening situations present themselves," Parker said.
Sergeant Jason Clawson was nominated because of his extraordinary commitment to the Special Enforcement Section of the Pasadena, California, Police Department, a unit that oversees gang, narcotics, and parole enforcement. From 2011 through 2012, Clawson supervised the California Association of Tactical Officer's SWAT Team of the Year; created and supervised the FBI–Pasadena Police Department Safe Streets Gang Task Force; created the Parole Reintegration and Enforcement Program, actively working with nonprofits, clinics, and private companies to help transition parolees; and was an integral voice in the creation of the City Resources Against Slum Housing program.
In describing his reaction to the honorable mention commendation, Clawson said, "This award may be for individual accomplishments, but I only reached to this level working with and alongside the men and women of Pasadena Police Department's Special Enforcement Section."
Deputy Sheriff/Detective Nicole Freeley has been a tireless advocate for children throughout her career. As a member of the Strategic Investigations Division, Freeley is assigned to the South Florida Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force and initiated a multijurisdictional sting operation in May 2011 that recovered eight children from a prostitution ring in Broward County. In addition, Freeley's efforts helped lead to the arrest and the conviction of three of the brothel's organizers.
Freeley was described by the nominating officer, Lieutenant Richard Pisanti, as a "bulldog," proudly stating that "once she gets a tip or a lead, she will uncover every possible clue and put in countless hours of her own time to assure no predator that she investigates will get away."
Sergeant Nate Hutchinson is the supervisor of the Weber Morgan Narcotics Strike Force that executed a January 2012 search warrant at the Utah home of a suspected indoor marijuana operation. The team was ambushed by an armed suspect, who fired at multiple officers and fatally wounded one. Despite being shot in the torso and the arm, Hutchinson was able to fire back and help rescue a fellow wounded officer.
Nominating officer Sergeant Steve Zaccardi said that "Hutchinson saved the life of [fellow] Agent Kasey Burrell. Hutchinson was shot three times at close range while pulling his men to safety; if that is not extraordinary valor, I don't know what is."
Investigator Darrell Moore and Investigator John Munn have a tireless drive for justice. As a result of their efforts, a wrongfully convicted Illinois man sentenced to first 75 years in prison, which was then lowered to 70 years by an appeals court, for a murder he did not commit walked free after serving 10 years. Moore and Munn reinterviewed witnesses, located additional witnesses, and presented a compelling case to the state's attorney's office after new evidence brought the suspect's guilt into question. This appeal ultimately led to a motion vacating the conviction.
Commander Paul Nelson, who nominated Moore and Munn, was quick to point out that these actions reflect both officers' professional standards: "Their work in this case is typical of the exemplary performance of duty they have consistently demonstrated over their years at the Aurora, Illinois, Police Department. They are a credit to themselves, our city, our department, and our profession."
Lieutenant Brian Murphy and Officer Sam Lenda, with more than 50 years' combined experience with the Oak Creek, Wisconsin, Police Department, risked their lives and saved others on the morning of August 5, 2012, when both arrived at the Sikh Temple of Wisconsin after shots were reportedly fired. As the first responder, Murphy quickly realized that two victims already lay deceased in the parking lot. Murphy's attentions then turned to the suspect who had exited the temple and began firing shots and ignoring Murphy's orders to disarm. Gunfire was exchanged, leaving Murphy severely injured. At this point, Lenda arrived on the scene and ordered the suspect to drop his weapon. The suspect refused and continued to fire at both officers until Lenda returned fire, issuing a fatal wound.
The nominating officer, Chief John Edwards, commended not only the extraordinary bravery but also the extraordinary composure of Murphy and Lenda: "Both of these officers are experienced, well-trained officers who exemplify what officers should represent." ♦

Australia urges Indonesian action on drink
- From: AAP
- January 07, 2013
AUSTRALIA will urge Indonesia to better police and regulate tourist bars following the death of a Perth teenager who drank a methanol-laced cocktail, Foreign Minister Bob Carr says.
Liam Davies, 19, died in a Perth hospital on Sunday after being urgently flown back from the island of Lombok where he was poisoned by the drink at a New Year party.
Today, Senator Carr described the death as a tragedy and noted there had been previous cases of Australian travellers being hospitalised after drinking adulterated alcohol in Indonesia.
"We are going to make representation to the Indonesian authorities about whether more careful policing and better regulation, especially of the lower end of the market, might be a useful thing to do," he told reporters in Sydney.
He said Australia wanted a focus on popular tourist areas like Bali and Lombok to ensure appropriate safety standards were maintained in the preparation and mixing of alcoholic drinks.
"We can't enforce Australian alcohol standards overseas but we can make representations to see that young travellers are better protected from this danger."
Senator Carr said Australian authorities would continue to issue warnings to young Australians to be on their guard against material being added to drinks at bars.
He said he had asked Australia's consul-general in Denpasar to approach Indonesian authorities with Australia's request for action as soon as possible.

Yes, they should police their drinks but that is for them to decide. Australia didn't care when citizens of Bali were dying from these drinks but an Australian dying makes it suddenly important. Of course Governments do these stupid things because people see an article about Bali and get up on their high horses and demand change, 'won't someone think of the children?!?!'

Grand Rapids outplayed Lake Erie for the first two periods, but still lost to the Monsters 2-1 in a shootout Saturday at the Quicken Loans Arena.
The Griffins let a one-goal lead slip away and could manage only one goal in six rounds of the shootout.
The loss means Grand Rapids falls seven points behind Lake Erie for the last guaranteed playoff spot in the North Division with 27 games left. Grand Rapids has 53 points to 60 for Lake Erie.
With 53 games, Grand Rapids does have three games in hand over the Monsters,who have now played 56 games. Lake Erie has won three of the five games between the teams this season.
The Griffins took a 1-0 lead on a goal by Jamie Tardif at 5:48 of the first period. The goal was Tardif's 17th of the season.
MONSTERS 2, GRIFFINS 1Next game: 3 p.m. Sunday at Rochester
Radio: WMAX-FM (96.1)
The Griffins actually dominated the first two periods, but could only manage the tie.
Grand Rapids outshot the Monsters 19-7, with Lake Erie managing just three even-strength shots.
Lake Erie goalie Jason Bacashihua, who always plays well against Grand Rapids, stopped 29 shots to earn the win.
Grand Rapids has a chance to pick up additional ground on the Monsters as well as put distance between itself and seventh-place Rochester with a win over the Americans on the road Sunday.

Head north out of San Francisco and keep driving through the beautiful country of northern California. Your mind begins to relax as you ease your way through the rolling hills. The countryside begins to change to breathtakingly tall Redwood trees. The climate drops noticeably as mist and moss become a part of every view. The bustling towns and cities are nowhere to be found and the occasional roadside stops for fresh mushrooms or cold beer mark the miles. The drive provides a change of scene as you weave along the Eel River and a change of feeling begins internally. Calmness creeps over you like the typical morning fog in Humboldt County. This serene northern California setting is the birthplace one of the world's most recognized cheeses. I do mean the world, not just the US.
Humboldt Fog was literally dreamt up by Mary Keehn and named after the beautiful fog that blankets her home. Mary is a gentle-spirited woman who in the mid-Seventies was raising four children on her own. She was also raising, milking and showing some of the best Alpine breeding goats in the US (four national champions!). It was through raising the goats that she began to consider ways to carve out the time for her children, while making a living and still continuing to work with the goats that she loved so much. Cheese? Mary had always made cheese for herself and the family and there was plenty of milk from the goats, so cheese became a great option. Cypress Grove Chevre was born.
It was during these early years that Mary became great friends with Judy Schad from Capriole Cheese located in Indiana (we love your cheese too!). Encouraged by Chantal Plasse, a renowned French cheesemaker, Judy and Mary decided that they would take a trip to France to learn more about the art of cheesemaking. Chantal exposed them to small multi-generational goat cheese producers. It was by visiting with these cheesemakers and their families, sitting at their tables eating cheese and drinking wine, that both Mary and Judy came away with unique and creative cheese ideas In fact, following this trip to France, Mary had a dream. The dream was a cheese with a line of ash in it. This cheese would eventually be known worldwide as the celebrated Humboldt Fog. That dream was over 20 years ago!
Not everyone liked the cheese at first; it was unlike anything on the market (chevre, or goat cheese, was not a popular cheese at this time) and it had a dark line running through the middle of it. For years the cheese was on the market in key Whole Foods Market® stores in the San Francisco Bay area. I would like to acknowledge the Whole Foods Market Franklin store for providing Mary with great feedback about her cheeses. Our Team Members felt that her cheese was as good as any of the French goat cheeses that were being sold and encouraged her to go after that positioning. But it was not until a 2002 magazine article highlighted the 100 best designs in the world and listed Humboldt Fog amongst art and architecture that she knew she had finally made it.
After all these years Mary is really proud of her new vision for Cypress Grove Chevre. Years ago, as her cheese gained in popularity and renown, she gave up her beloved goat herd to farmers down the road so she could focus on the cheesemaking. But now she is back in the goat business with her own farmstead and a goat herd of three breeds and currently over 150 head. There is great energy around this evolution in the business and from all involved at the cheese facility and the farm. Mary and her team look forward to the educational opportunities that they are now able to provide to the community and the support they can provide to the community of dairy-goat farmers through breeding.
The cheese wheel is a circle and Cypress Grove Humboldt Fog has also come full circle. As we celebrate the 20th year of Humboldt Fog by Cypress Grove Chevre I offer my heartfelt appreciation and congratulations to Mary, her family and her team. I look forward to writing another blog on the 25th anniversary of the cheese!
Have you had Humboldt Fog? How would you describe the cheese?
