2008 Schug Carneros Estate Carneros Pinot Noir
Mission Codename: Leading With Experience
Operative: Agent White
Objective: Secure an allocation of a delicious Carneros Estate Pinot Noir.
Mission Status: Accomplished!
Current Winery: Schug Carneros Estate
Wine Subject: 2008 Carneros Pinot Noir
Winemaker: Michael Cox
Some of our favorite California Pinot Noir comes from the Carneros viticultural area, a winegrowing region which straddles the Napa Valley and Sonoma Valley. The Carneros region ranks as one of the Wine Spies' top choices for California Pinot Noir. So, too, does Schug Winery. The cool Carneros region provides ideal growing conditions for Pinot Noir and Pinot thriveshere. Schug Winery is a Wine Spies favorite and we are proud to bring you today's very special wine.
Wine Spies Tasting Profile:
Look – Bright ruby red with a slightly darker but clear core that shows ruby streaks when held to the light. Along the edges the color pales slightly into a ruby-pink tint and when swirled, thin legs of varying speeds ring the glass.
Smell – Bright aromas of red fruit including red cherry, raspberry and a touch of strawberry blend with both hot and exotic spice, vanilla as well toasted and slightly smokey oak notes. A touch of black tea, soft earth, cola and hints of green herbs also emerge.
Feel – Initially smooth and cool on the palate, this medium-bodied dry wine has medium firm and youthful tannins blend with its racy acidity and textured minerality to create a crisp and fresh mouthfeel.
Taste – Bright flavors of red cherry, raspberry and other tangy and ripe red berries blend with the spice and toasted oak notes found on the nose. A healthy dose of exotic and hot spice along with other complex flavors including subtle earthy and forest notes keeps things interesting on the palate.
Finish – Medium to long in length with the tangy red fruit fading first while the spice, oak and other flavors linger on. Slightly lighter in body as it lingers, this wine's lively acidity keeps the palate crisp and dry and invites another sip.
Conclusion – The 2008 Schug Carneros Estate Carneros Pinot Noir once again impresses us with a wine that is both complex and approachable. Very pleasant on the nose and an easy to enjoy palate lead the way as the bright, fresh and tangy flavors last into the finish. A lovely wine to enjoy at the start of a meal or with hors d'oeuvres. Enjoy this wine tonight or cellar for the next several years.
Mission Report:
Winemaker, Michael Cox, was too busybarrelling to spend time with us for an interview, this time round. What follows is our previous interview with Michael,in which he refers to a different wine than the fantastic wine we are showing, today.
SUBJECT: Michael Cox
WINE EDUCATION: Started working in Sonoma wineries out of high school. Graduated form UC Davis in 1991
CALIFORNIA WINE JOB BRIEF: Winemaker for Schug Winery since 1995
Don't get to fancy, let the vines and the yeast do their stuff. Just don't mess up what mother nature intended.
WINEMAKER QUOTE: From Tao Te Ching: "The hard and stiff will be broken, the soft and supple will prevail."
FIRST COMMERCIAL WINE RELEASE: 1993 Napa Valley Chardonnay from DeMoor (Napa Cellars)
AGENT RED: Greetings, Mike. We are thrilled to be showing your fantastic 2007 Carneros Chardonnay, Heritage Reserve today. The wine is really wonderful. Thanks so much for the wine, and for taking some time to answer questions for our Operatives today.
MICHAEL: Thanks Red, we are so happy that you continue to love our wines. We always enjoy your detailed reviews – and these sit-downs!
RED: The pleasure is all ours, I assure you. How long have you been making wine?
MICHAEL: My first job in a wine cellar was when I was 19. I got a summer job working at Hacienda Wine Cellars (pre Bronco – then family owned by the Cooleys).
RED: Was there a specific experience in your life that inspired your love of wine?
MICHAEL: Not sure if it is specific, but that summer of 1987, working on the bottling line, cleaning barrels, driving all over Sonoma County sampling vineyards, long wide ranging conversations on music and farming with the winemaker, Eric Laumann all combined to sell me on the idea that growing and making wine would afford me the ability to continue to live in Sonoma Valley.
RED: And where did you learn the most about winemaking?
MICHAEL: Hmmmm. Tough one. I spent my formative years from 1987 -1991 at Hacienda, a year at Dry Creek Vineyards, got my first'Winemaker' job at Napa Cellars/DeMoor, and have spent coming on 14 years here at Schug with Walter. I'd probably have to say my time at Napa Cellars. I was 25 and they gave me the keys and said 'drive'. I learned to get things done, not to waste time or money, and how to pull together a wine from vineyard to bottle. For all the talk of art, it is also a big logistics game.
RED: What is your winemaking style or philosophy?
MICHAEL: I'll happily steal from Robert Mondavi here:'The first glass of wine should invite the second.' I don't like flabby, heavy, ponderous wines. I want brightness and zip. Elegance is foremost.
RED: Walter Schug is a legend in the wine business. How has he influenced you?
MICHAEL: Walter has been, and continues to be a mentor. I am very fortunate that Walter saw in me someone with the kernel of his own winemaking style that he could nurture and develop. He is a font of knowledge that I can tap into at any time. With just about any situation he's seen it in his own experience here, at Gallo, or as consultant, at least twice.
RED: What wine or winemaker has most influenced your winemaking style?
MICHAEL: We already talked about Walter being a mentor, but Eric Laumann, who gave me my first job was also very important. He certainly instilled a confidence in myself and the wines that make. He also is a reminder to not
take yourself too seriously, just the wine.
RED: Who do you make wine for?
MICHAEL: Myself foremost. Plan D is always to just drink it all ourselves, so it better be good.
AGENT RED: Please tell me a little bit about the wine we are featuring today.
MICHAEL: This is the 2007 Carneros Pinot Noir, Heritage Reserve. Every spring I go through the cellar and taste all the individual barrels of pinot we have and the ones that I feel have a special charm get a chalk mark. I then spend a few weeks trying different blends with the owner and his father, massaging the blend until we come up with something that, we think, best represents the vintage and the Schug style. In our case "Reserve" is a small, handcrafted selection of our very best barrels we have to offer.
RED: What is your favorite pairing with today's wine?
MICHAEL: Mushroom ragout, Thanksgiving/Christmas Dinner (I know it is not the season). Fresh caught salmon, grilled.
RED: Whoa… Umm, YUM! Tell me, what makes the Carneros region so special?
MICHAEL: It is a small region, so within our borders there is a lot of consistency. Appellations like Sonoma Coast and Russian River just don't have the same climate conditions throughout the appellation. We have two main dominating features: the wind and the water. Wind is where the cool ocean air forces it's way though the Petaluma Gap into the bay and interior valley. It cools us in summer and brings the fog. The water is the San Pablo Bay and the wetlands that surround it. In winter, it buys us a few extra degrees and gets the vines going early. Between the wind and the water, the growing season in Carneros can be up to two weeks longer than our neighbors. At the same time, we don't have to push the growing season into late September/early October, so rain is not normally an issue. On top of that Carneros is pretty dry as far as Northern California goes, though this year it has been downright silly. 1" of rain in June? The record in the past 20 years was less than a quarter of an inch…
RED: What is one piece of advice that you would give to someone that is considering a career as a winemaker?
MICHAEL: Trust yourself and your palette. Don't chase a style or someone else's opinion. Be ready to work and get down and dirty. Don't expect a lot other than the reward of the wine itself.
RED: What is occupying your time at the winery these days?
MICHAEL: Thinking about the 2011 vintage, planning meetings for the vineyard, evaluating barrels, tasting the 2010's, planning bottlings, catching up on paperwork, walking the vineyard to keep an eye on the current crop, getting ready for a wine club event….
RED: Please share one thing about yourself that few people know
MICHAEL: Considering how much I enjoyed NASCAR, I may well be a closet redneck.
RED: Nice. What is your favorite 'everyday' or table wine?
MICHAEL: Well until recently it had been Laurenz V.'s Gruener Veltliner, either the Singing or the Charming, but I have been drinking a lot of our dry Rose of Pinot Noir of late.
RED: How would you recommend that people approach your wines, or wine in general?
MICHAEL: Well wine is for sharing with friends so have some people you like around and start opening bottles. Schug wines always get better of the course of a meal as the layers start to unveil themselves. Don't rush into it. Relax and enjoy.
RED: If you could choose any one wine to drink (regardless of price or availability), what would it be?
MICHAEL: The Holy Trinity from E. Guigal – La Turque, La Mouline, La Landonne. Odd for a Pinot maker, but I could drink those all night.
RED: What is the one question that I should have asked you, and what is your answer to that question?
MICHAEL: Hmmmm. How about: 'If you couldn't make wine, what would you do?' And to be honest, I am not sure of the answer… I always say that my retirement plan is to move to Hawaii (Kauai – westside) and make rum, but that's a bit close to winemaking… So perhaps a historian and author. 18th and 19th century European to be a bit more precise.
RED: Very cool. Thank you so much for your time. We learned a lot about you – and about your wine. Keep up the great work, we are big fans!
MICHAEL: No problem. Thanks again for having me. I hope I covered what you wanted to know. Glad you like the wine, I hope your Operatives do, too.
And here is a recap of Agent Red's original interview with Walter Schug:
I had the incredible great fortune to meet with one of the wine industry's most respected and renowned wine craftsmen in California wine history.
Walter Schug, owner and winemaster at Schug Carneros Estate, was born into wine in Germany in 1936, where his father was winemaker for one of Germany's top Pinot Noir Producers.
As a young man, Walter worked throughout Europe, honing his craft. In 1966 Julio Gallo asked Walter to oversee all grapegrowing and quality control for the company. Seven years later, after Walter's reputation had grown, Joseph Phelps asked Walter to become Phelps' winemaker at his new Napa Valley winery.
Walter helped to create the Insignia label and some of the finest and most sought after Bordeaux-style blends in the country. Walter crafted wines that set the high water mark for excellence in winemaking.
To this day, Walter Schug's early influence on the industry lives on, with wineries across California and around the world emulating his winemaking style.
With Phelps, Walter Schug's goal was to make the best Bordeaux-style blend possible. Today, Walter Schug's philosophy remains largely unchanged. There is one big difference, however; Where a bottle of Insignia may cost you $200 or more, a Schug wine of comparable quality with cost you less than $60.
On arriving at the Schug winery last week, I am greeted by Axel Schug, Director of Marketing for the winery and the son of Walter Schug. Axel, with whom I had met previously, introduces me to his father, and then escorts me through the bowels of the winery, to a tasting room buried in a wine cave. The long table the stretches down the tunnel is surrounded on both sides by seemingly every vintage from Schug's history.
As I am escorted to my seat, I notice several magnums of Insignia wine and I spot one bottle in a special wooden display. Walter Schug sees me looking at it and he takes it from the display and shows it to me. The bottle is from Joseph Phelps himself, and a touching tribute to Walter Schug, from Phelps, is engraved on the back.
What follows is a partial transcript of our conversation:
AGENT RED: Mr. Schug, thank you so much for making yourself available today. It is an honor to meet you!
WALTER SCHUG: Welcome, Agent Red.
AGENT RED: Let me first say that your wines blow me away. The winery is beautiful as well. I love Carneros and wines from the region. You are really a pioneer of the region. When it came time to build your own winery, how did you come to settle here?
WALTER SCHUG: When I was with Gallo, I sourced fruit from Carneros. I recognized the region as having great potential for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Given my passion for Pinot, settling in Carneros was a natural.
AGENT RED: And, when you did settle, you produced a fair amount of Chardonnay, did you not?
WALTER SCHUG: Yes, and it was excellent, too. It still is. Back then, Chardonnay subsidized my passion for Pinot Noir! It allowed me to perfect Pinot here.
AGENT RED: This Cabernet Sauvignon we are drinking [today's 2003 Heritage CS] is incredible. How has your philosophy changed from your Insignia days?
WALTER SCHUG: Very little. The goal now, as it was with Phelps back then, is to create the very best wine that we possibly can. And, to do so without recipe orformula.
AGENT RED: Ahh. Whereas I have heard that Insignia is more formulaic in its approach to winemaking today. Instead, your proportions or even fruit sources may change a good deal – if it means making wines that are that much better. Am I correct?
WALTER SCHUG: Yes, this is true. This Cabernet isstreamlined and far more European in character. This is a wine that has elegance, delicacy, finesse – this is what I strive for in all of my wines!
AGENT RED: Again, this is a great wine and I am sure that our Operatives will love it. I also look forward to bringing them your Pinot Noir, during a future mission.
WALTER SCHUG: If they appreciate wines that are made for the best enjoyment, they will love this wine. In the end this wine is not made by going to the vineyard and knowing what you are going to get. Rather, it is the result of meticulous blending of wines made from the best fruit. Again, it is my mission to create wines that are the best expressions of place. It is my mission to make wines that are to be enjoyed.
AGENT RED: Mission accomplished, Mr. Schug, Mission accomplished!
WALTER SCHUG: Thank you, Agent Red.
We talked a great deal about Walter Schug's history and his influence and impact on the wine industry. While I was certainly impressed by his incredible history, I must say that what impressed me the most – what seemed to matter to me the most – was what the Schug Carneros Estate winery was doing today. Today, Schug is crafting remarkably beautiful wines that are a true delight to drink and enjoy!

"Me! I want to be the first to have it back to back, buddy," Jackman, 41, told PEOPLE's reporter on Friday in New York, while attending the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Concert (set to air on HBO Nov. 29). "That would be fantastic!"
Though he would like to reclaim the title, the Steady Rain star (who costars in the Broadway drama with Daniel Craig, certainly another SMA possibility) says it's been quite an exciting year as the Sexiest Man Alive, but also one that's been a little demanding.
"I thought there were thousands of other guys that deserved it, but it's been a great year. But now the pressures off," he said good-naturedly. "I can be a slob again."

Is Originalism Too Conservative?
Keith E. Whittington
Princeton University - Department of Political Science
June 1, 2012
Harvard Journal of Law and Public Policy, 34 (2011): 29
Originalism as an approach to constitutional theory and constitutional interpretation is often associated with conservative politics. Is originalism a principled theory of constitutional interpretation, or is it merely a cover for reaching politically conservative results in court? Is originalism theoretically interesting independent of its connection to conservative politics? This essay argues that originalism is a principled theory of constitutional interpretation and not merely a rationalization for conservatism. The association of conservative politics with originalism is not accidental, however, and conservatives are often likely to find originalism to be a more normatively attractive approach to constitutional interpretation than liberals generally will. Focusing on originalist theory rather than judicial decision-making, this essay considers the ways in which originalism intersects with conservatism and the ways in which originalism might diverge from conservatism.

The kidneys filter toxins from the bloodstream, creating urine in the process. Often, and for no apparent reason, kidney function will gradually decline as cats age. Eventually, the kidneys reach a point where they can no longer maintain their normal function, and toxins accumulate in the bloodstream. Cats then show a variety of clinical signs, including excessive urination and thirst, poor appetite, weight loss and occasional vomiting.
Diagnosing kidney failure is relatively straightforward, and the prognosis for cats with renal failure depends on many factors. The degree of elevation of the toxins in the bloodstream is important, however, it doesn't tell the entire story. There have been cats with frighteningly high toxin levels that show few clinical signs. This indicates that the deterioration of kidney function has occurred slowly, over many months, giving the body time to adapt. In general, however, the more elevated the toxin levels, the more guarded the prognosis.
Mitchell Crystal, DVM, chief of Medicine at North Florida Veterinary Specialists in Jacksonville, Fla., treats many cats with renal failure at his specialty practice. While chronic renal failure is a progressive and eventually fatal disease, with early detection and appropriate monitoring and management, many cats can live a good quality life for several years, Crystal said.
Veterinary CareTreatment for CRF can run the gamut, from a simple dietary change to a hospital stay of several days, depending on the severity and how early the disease is detected. For hospitalized cats, fluid therapy is an important part of the treatment.
The ability to establish and maintain normal hydration is crucial to CRF management, Crystal said. If hydration is compromised, then fluid therapy is needed. For moderate to severe dehydration, hospitalization and intravenous fluids are necessary. For mild to moderate dehydration, subcutaneous fluids can be given at home intermittently or as often as every day.

good article thank you
Carol Salem, OR
I had a cat that died within a 27 hour period, where he showed no appetite, but was wanting to drink, but didn't. The other problems seen were, extreme weakness and his two backlegs were stiff and apart when he would walk. Does that sound like it was kidney failure?

Registration will be revoked for dentists who register in any category other than dentist, and the dentist will be charged the appropriate registration fee or asked to leave the meeting. Spouses who are dentists are considered dentists and therefore are expected to register as dentists. This is particularly true if you are seeking CE credits from CDS or the Academy of General Dentistry. Dentists registering as media, must be registered as dentists first.
Domestic/International Dental Trade may register at McCormick Place West, Feb. 25 - 27, during normal registration hours.
Domestic and International registrants who pre-register before the mail/fax deadline of Jan. 18, or the online deadline of Jan. 31, will receive materials by mail. If you register online in February you will receive an email confirmation within 24 hours. February registration materials can be picked up on site at the E-ticket locations.
Free admittance to the Midwinter Meeting is a member benefit available to those CDS dentists who have paid their dues in full on or before Jan. 1 for the year of this Midwinter Meeting. Those who have not paid their dues in full may be required to pay the appropriate registration fee. The registration company receives lists of current members from CDS frequently throughout the registration season to be sure all current CDS members can take advantage of this benefit.

I used this card to help me root the Nook. Then, I erased the card so I could use it a straight memory. I found the the card somehow got partioned into 3 partions.
I tried formatting the disk, from Disk Management, and as you probably guessed, it didn't remove the 3 partitions that are on there. 1 for 39MB, 1 for 78MB and 1 for 3.58GB, and this last partition doesn't show up at all.
How can I wipe the card, get rid of partions and have just one big 4G partion to store my pdf files?

| Published: January 2013
Patch and vulnerability management is a core component of your risk mitigation strategy. It is the first and last line of defense against existing and new exploits - laying the foundation from which your AV and other security technologies work. As the sophistication and sheer volume of exploits targeting operating systems and major applications increases, the speed of assessment and deployment of security patches is key to mitigating risks and remediating vulnerabilities - and reducing costs.
In this best practice guide, we are going to take a deep dive into a best practice process for patch and vulnerability management, developed by Lumension over thousands of customer engagements.
This process - which is flexible and simple enough to be adapted into your environment - revolves around the well-known monthly release of security updates from Microsoft known as Patch Tuesday.
With the sophistication and sheer volume of exploits targeting major applications and operating systems, the speed of assessment and deployment of security patches across your complex IT infrastructure is key to mitigating risks and remediating vulnerabilities. Here are the Lumension-recommended steps to cure your patch management headache.

OPINION: Five bailout lessons from Katrina
The U.S. has committed nearly $3 trillion to the financial bailout so far. The Federal Reserve has made more than $2 trillion in emergency loans and another $700 billion has been pledged through congressional action. Much more money is coming. Things better for your community? I didn't think so.
OPINION: Guns, butter, and Obama
Over the next several months there will be a battle for hearts and minds, but not in Iraq or Afghanistan. The war will be here at home, waged mostly in the halls of Congress, where grim lobbyists for one of the top 15 economies in the world are digging in to preserve their stake in the massive U.S. military budget.

For too many years now the American people have been pushed around by the nation's corporations, the banks, the insurance companies and their right-wing backers in government.

Opening up the possibility of a powerful new class of antibiotics just when doctors need them most, scientists created a molecule that delivers a knockout punch to deadly, drug-resistant strains of bacteria.
Drug-resistant bacteria are a growing threat around the world. Germs are becoming impervious to just about anything doctors throw at them, a phenomenon blamed on overuse of antibiotics.
In Thursday's issue of the journal Nature, researchers at the University of Wisconsin at Madison reported that they created a molecule modeled on peptides, the natural proteins that organisms use to kill bacteria.
Up to now, attempts to harness peptides have met with problems because they are rapidly disarmed within living tissues and often harm human cells along with the germs.
But the researchers said their synthetic version, called a beta-peptide, appears not to harm blood cells or break down within the body.
In the lab, it proved active against several drug-resistant bacteria, including strains of vancomycin-resistant enterococcus and methicillin-resistant staphylococcus.
Vancomycin is an antibiotic that is considered the last line of defense against enterococcus bacteria, which cause deadly infections in the abdomen, urinary tract, post-surgical wounds and even heart valves. Methicillin targets staphylococcus, which is repsonsible for serious infections of the skin, tissue, bones and joints.
The beta-peptide seems to work by the same mechanism as the natural peptide, by punching holes in the bacteria's membrane, said Samuel Gellman, a chemistry professor at Wisconsin.
"It points to a whole new class of potential antibiotics that people haven't thought about before. It's a sort of new dimension in design," Gellman said.
Because the molecule works differently than traditional antibiotics, it would probably be harder for bacteria to evolve resistance to it, said Marissa Miller of the National Institute of Allergies and Infectious Diseases.
"What's interesting is that this is an entirely new approach, and we need every new idea we can get to combat antibiotic resistance," she said.
Drugs already in advanced stages of development could be altered to incorporate the type of potent beta-peptide created by Gellman's team, said Robert Hancock, a professor of microbiology at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver.
"This points to a way of making these molecules less toxic and longer-lasting in the body," he said.
Last month, a government panel urged the Food and Drug Administration to approve Zyvox, a synthetic compound made by Pharmacia & Upjohn that has shown promise attacking drug-resistant bacteria. If approved, it would be the first entirely new antibiotic in 35 years.

9/22/16 - Again this month, twelve of Illinois' metropolitan (metro) areas experienced decreases in their over-the-year unemployment rate and eight of the metro areas had increases in nonfarm jobs, according to preliminary data released today by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) and IDES.
This agenda conforms to the requirements of Section 2.02 of the Illinois Open Meetings Act (5 ILCS 120/02), for the meeting held on 9/26/16. Any individual planning to attend who will need an accommodation under the Americans with Disabilities Act should notify Caroline Alamillo at (312) 793-9290 or (888) 340-1007 (TTY/NextTalk).
9/15/16 - IDES announced today that the unemployment rate in August decreased -0.3 percentage points to 5.5 percent and nonfarm payrolls decreased, based on preliminary data released by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) and IDES. The decrease in Illinois' unemployment rate is largely due to a decline in the labor force. Job growth is still below the national average, with Illinois -46,400 jobs short of its peak employment level reached in September 2000.
"In this 30-day snapshot, manufacturing losses were heavy, which contributed to more than half of the month's decrease in nonfarm payroll jobs," said IDES Director Jeff Mays.
7/29/16 - Director Mays discussed the employment service registration requirement at a
press conference in Springfield on July 12 to help get the word out about IDES'
enhanced efforts to help jobseekers find work more quickly.

text: This track is very modern feeling and has a broad mix of instruments. At times it feels a bit trippy like a dance routine but yet put together in a nicely flowing way. Intense stereo imaging on a sharp synth line towards the mid way point of the track seems to take it into a downward slope while building momentum until you can't wait for the big finish, hence the name "Momentum."

"We're not at that point," Lock said.
Walling said Monday that the number of assaults during the past month is higher than the same period last year and called every violent death in the city a tragedy. There have been 21 homicides in Flint so far this year. In all of 2009, there were 35 homicides, according to preliminary numbers issued by the FBI this week.
Much of that violence has come since 46 Flint police officers were laid off from their jobs in late March because of budget cuts at the city.
Lock said the city has it's own police force, mayor and city council and said county officials like Clack shouldn't offer extreme advise without communicating with Flint officials.
But Clack, a longtime city resident, said violence is rising to "unbelievable" levels.
"For the first time in my lifetime in Flint, I'm concerned (for people's safety)," Clack said during a county commissioners meeting this morning.
Clack asked Pickell to help the city in whatever way he can and asked about circumstances under which Granholm might issue an executive order, calling the National Guard to help keep peace in Flint.
Clack said she doesn't like the thought of seeing guardsman on street corners, but prefers it to seeing victims gunned down in the street and families living in fear.
Pickell said the National Guard was called into Flint during civil disturbances in the late 1960s and said said the governor would likely not make such a move unless there was "civil disorder" in the streets.

Charles Edgar "Chuck" Knotts, 43, a resident of Harman, departed this life Sunday morning, April 14, 2013, at his home. He had been in declining health although death was unexpected.
He was born Wednesday, Oct. 29, 1969, at Kingwood, a son of the late Bernard Haven "Bill" Knotts and Mary Burgoyne Knotts, who survives at Masontown.
On May 13, 2000, at Harman, he was married to the former Candy Diane Cook, who survives.
Article Photos
Also surviving are one son, Clayson David Knotts; one daughter, Collette Diane Knotts, both at home; one brother, "Bernie" Knotts and wife, Julie, of Morgantown; one sister, "Missy" Mouser and husband, Tim, of Gladesville; his mother-in-law and father-in-law, Dave and Cindy Cook; one brother-in-law, Dustin Cook and fiancee, Tabitha, all of Harman; and seven nieces and five nephews.
Preceding him in death were one infant son, Collin Edgar Knotts; his maternal grandparents, Robert and Mildred Cain Burgoyne; and his paternal grandparents, Charles Edgar and Julia Haskiell Knotts.
He was a graduate of West Kingwood High School in Preston County with the class of 1987, where he was a member of the football squad and was presently employed as a supervisor by the Leer Complex, a division of Arch Coal Co. He loved to hunt, fish, go four-wheeling and spend time with his children. He was a loving and caring husband and father.
The family will receive friends at Lohr & Barb Funeral Home of Elkins from 6 to 9 p.m. Thursday. Final rites will be conducted at the funeral home chapel, Friday, April 19, at 1:30 p.m. The Rev.

NEW YORK — The NBA owners' advisory and finance committee will hold a meeting Thursday to discuss the next steps in the removal of Donald Sterling as owner of the Los Angeles Clippers.
The 10-member committee will have a conference call two days after commissioner Adam Silver banned Sterling for life from the league and fined him $2.5 million for making racist comments. Silver also said he would urge owners to use their power to force Sterling to sell the team.
That would require the support of three-fourths of the league's owners in a vote. Silver said Tuesday during a news conference that he was confident he had the votes, which appears true given the numerous statements of support that were released by teams.
Minnesota Timberwolves owner Glen Taylor chairs the committee, which also includes:
Micky Arison, Miami Heat
Jeanie Buss, Los Angeles Lakers
Clay Bennett, Oklahoma City Thunder
James Dolan, New York Knicks
Wyc Grousbeck, Boston Celtics
Peter Holt, San Antonio Spurs
Robert Sarver, Phoenix Suns

The W.D. Packard Concert Band will wrap its outdoor concert season Sunday with guest vocalist Liz Rubino and a fireworks display.
Rubino, who first performed with the Packard Band last summer, is an Austintown High School graduate who has worked extensively as a cabaret artist, stage performer, teaching artist and drama therapist.
She will sing Stephen Sondheim's "Send in the Clowns" from the musical "Company," "I Dreamed a Dream" from "Les Miserables" and "Put on a Happy Face" from "Bye Bye Birdie."
Those songs are part of a program, conducted by Stephen L. Gage, that will be filled with Broadway favorites, including Leonard Bernstein's overture from "Candide," symphonic dances from "Fiddler on the Roof," Meredith Wilson's "76 Trombones" from "The Music Man" and selections from "Annie," "Barnum" and "West Side Story."
The concert starts at 7:30 p.m. Sunday, a half hour later than normal, because it will be followed by a fireworks display produced by Zambelli Fireworks Internationale.
It will be at the south lawn band shell at Packard Music Hall, 1703 Mahoning Ave. N.W., Warren. Admission is free and funding is provided by the W.D. Packard trust.
For more information, call 330-841-2931.

Mark and Sue Heyting with son David and daughter Keri.
by Lisa Allen
Valley View Editor
A campaign to raise funds for a blood stem cell transplant for longtime Duvall resident Mark Heyting, ill with a rare form of bone marrow cancer, is close to meeting its goal of $20,000, organizer Deanne Haas said last week.
"It's been a community effort," she said. "The Valley has really turned out to support this family. We want to thank everyone who helped."
Mark was diagnosed with the disease last November while he was in the process of switching insurance companies. The new company said the illness wouldn't be covered until this coming November, but his doctor told him he couldn't wait.
Haas and Kathy Nelson, who have children at Stillwater Elementary School where Mark's wife Sue is a secretary, learned of the family's plight.
The pair, with help from Linda Williams who wrote flyers, went to work setting up a bank account and passed out donation jars in businesses. They then organized a community rummage sale that generated over $12,000.
By last week they had raised $15,217.
Last week was also a milestone for Mark, who began treatment with a 14-hour procedure at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. He has been too ill to work at his job as a hardwood floor layer since his diagnosis.
"We hope to reach our goal with another $5,000 by July 4th," said Haas. Raffles for a weekend getaway at Lake Cle Elum and a new bicycle will be held at the Carnation 4th of July Celebration.
"Craig Crother, a Stillwater Elementary student, gave us a bicycle he won at a walk-a-thon," said Haas.
Three Beanie Babies donated by Kallander's in Duvall will be raffled off at 6 p.m on July 19, she added.
The Beanie Babies-Erin, Fortune and Wise-are on display at the store on Main Street. Tickets are $1 and may be purchased at the store.
Also, the Mark Heyting Benevolent Fund at Seafirst Bank is still open for donations.
"This has been such a positive experience," said Haas. "Over 100 people donated to the rummage sale...26 people spent hours working at the sale. So many have helped. It has made me feel so proud to be part of this community."

Five-star Shrubsole floors South Africa
Follow England women's progress on ecb.co.uk - click here for exclusive interviews and videos, latest news, match reports and more
Anya Shrubsole continued her supreme form in the Women's World Cup, delivering a career-best effort as England cruised past South Africa in their must-win Super Sixes clash.
Needing to emerge victorious by impressive margins in their last two matches to have hope of reaching the final, the defending champions were carried by the 21-year-old seamer initially today.
Shrubsole, the tournament's leading wicket-taker with 13 scalps, was in irresistible form, claiming the first five wickets - for figures of 5-17 - before Holly Colvin and Katherine Brunt took one apiece.
The seamer trapped Yolandi Potgieter, Mignon du Preez and Cri-zelda Brits leg before, bowled Marizanne Kapp and had Trisha Chetty taken at short midwicket.
Danni Wyatt then mopped up South Africa's tail, finishing with 3-7 to leave England requiring 78 for victory.
Attention quickly turned to how quickly England, desperate to boost their net run-rate, could chase that total.
Picking up where she left off with the ball, Wyatt quickly flayed three fours through the off side to get the ball rolling.
Yet Charlotte Edwards then picked out third-man off Marizanne Kapp and Chloe Tyron had Wyatt caught at mid-on prior to bowling Sarah Taylor, who departed for a third successive duck.
Lydia Greenway and Arran Brindle did not panic, though, finding boundaries all round the wicket in easing England to victory in just 9.3 overs.
Edwards' side are fourth in the Super Six table, level on four points with New Zealand and West Indies who play tomorrow. Australia's nine-wicket defeat of Sri Lanka today took them to eight points and put them into Sunday's final.
England Innings
6:23am - END OF MATCH; ENGLAND WIN BY SEVEN WICKETS - Lovely stuff from Greenway, who pulls Marcia Letsoalo for back-to-back boundaries before her partner drives and cuts two of her own. The former then finishes things off with successive one-bounce fours off Sunette Loubser! That's a brilliant win, in just 9.3 overs, that keeps England alive. Greenway is unbeaten on 25 from 19 balls and Brindle 28 from 16.
6:16am - Brindle adds a couple more boundaries to her tally and England move on to 56 after just eight overs. Good stuff.
6:12am - More runs for Brindle, who edges through third man for a boundary before adding another via a delicious drive.
6:07am - Good response from Lydia Greenway, who drives Kapp powerfully through cover-point for four before Arran Brindle takes three in the same area off Tryon in the next over.
5:57am - WICKET! Taylor b Tryon 0; Eng 26/3 - A third successive duck for Sarah Taylor, who is bowled trying to turn Tryon to leg.
5:54am - WICKET! Wyatt c Ismail b Tryon 14; Eng 24/1 - Chloe Tryon gets her first breakthrough, having Wyatt caught at mid-on. Wickets do not affect net run-rate, so England will continue to attack here.
5:50am - WICKET! Edwards c Tryon b Kapp 6; Eng 23/1 - Edwards departs looking to continue the good tempo as she is caught at deep third-man off Kapp.
5:46am - More excellent stuff from England; Wyatt is freeing her arms and peppering the cover region, with two further fours adding to Edwards' first.
5:40am - Danni Wyatt gives England a fine start, hitting Marizanne Kapp for four as seven come from the opening set of six. Charlotte Edwards' troops will be looking to wrap this up within 10 overs, I would imagine.
South Africa Innings
5:24am - END OF INNINGS; SOUTH AFRICA 77 ALL OUT - And that's that. Marcia Letsoalo is caught and bowled by Wyatt and South Africa are dismissed for 77. Edwards et al will be hoping to knock these off quickly.
5:19am - WICKET! Loubser c Edwards b Wyatt; SA 70/9 - Sunette Loubser does not last long, hitting to Charlotte Edwards at mid-on for a duck. England are on the brink of dismissing South Africa.
5:15am - WICKET! Ismail c Taylor b Wyatt 16; SA 69/8 - Ismail appears to have heeded my advice, striking Brunt for back-to-back boundaries. However, the fun does not last as she is caught behind off Danni Wyatt soon after.
5:07am - Dane van Niekerk and Shabnim Ismail are opting for a defensive approach. I cannot help but think they would be better just having a go in these conditions.
4:54am - WICKET! Tryon lbw Brunt 0; SA 47/7 - Brunt returns for a second spell and grabs her first wicket, rapping Chloe Tryon on the pad and gaining a positive lbw verdict.
4:45am - Shrubsole finishes with career-best figures of 5-17 from her 10 overs. That's an outstanding contribution. And that's an understatement.
4:42am - WICKET! Fritz c Greenway b Colvin 10; SA 42/6 - And we have another wicket-taker! Holly Colvin gets the sixth as Lydia Greenway holds the catch to remove Fritz.
4:29am - WICKET! Kapp b Shrubsole 13; SA 42/5 - And that's exactly what they will do if Shrubsole has her way. A deserved fifth wicket for the 21-year-old, who castles Kapp.
4:20am - Against Australia, England allowed a good middle-order partnership following a similar start. They'll be hoping to keep up the pressure here.
4:12am - Shandre Fritz gets under way with a four first ball before Kapp adds boundaries in successive overs, off Brunt and Shrubsole.
4:02am - WICKET! Brits lbw Shrubsole 4; SA 18/4 - Do I need to tell you who's got it? Shrubsole has a fourth, pinning Cri-zelda Brits in front. Sizzling stuff.
3:55am - WICKET! Chetty c Gunn b Shrubsole 9; SA 12/3 - And there's another one. Brilliant stuff from Shrubsole, who continues to look threatening. Chetty goes this time, caught smartly at short midwicket by Jenny Gunn.
3:52am - Chetty eases the pressure somewhat with a boundary and will be looking to build a partnership with Marizanne Kapp.
3:43am - WICKET! du Preez lbw Shrubsole 0; SA 5/2 - Brilliant from Shrubsole, who makes it two in an over by ousting skipper Mignon du Preez in the same fashion. England are causing problems aplenty.
3:38am - WICKET! Potgetier lbw Shrubsole 1; SA 5/1 - There is simply no stopping Shrubsole at the moment. She has opener Potgetier trapped in front in her opening over and England are off to the perfect start.
3:37am - South Africa make a solid start as Trisha Chetty finds a boundary in the opening over, sent down by Katherine Brunt, after Yolandi Potgieter gets off the mark with a single.
Pre-Play News
3:21am - England, who may well need to win their last two games by large margins to reach the final, have named an unchanged side to the one that suffered an agonising two-run defeat versus Australia just a couple of days ago.
Here is the XI: Edwards (captain), Danni Wyatt, Sarah Taylor (wicketkeeper), Lydia Greenway, Arran Brindle, Heather Knight, Jenny Gunn, Laura Marsh, Katherine Brunt, Holly Colvin, Anya Shrubsole.
3:07am - ENGLAND WIN TOSS & BOWL - The news from the middle is Charlotte Edwards has won the toss and asked South Africa to bat first.
3am - Hello and welcome to ecb.co.uk's live coverage of England's must-win Women's World Cup clash versus South Africa at Cuttack.

5 Relationship Zones Worse than 'the Friend Zone'
#2. The "Staying in Contact Forever" Zone
This might be a new zone, invented in the past decade or so, which makes it all the more terrifying: the "staying in contact" zone, which has been made all the worse by Facebook, Twitter, cellphones, and the rest of the secretly evil marvels of technology.
Winston Rowntree
But to understand this zone of the future, we, paradoxically, must first look backward, into the zones of the past. So come with me, Internet friends, on a journey to the time of Dracula.
When Jonathan Harker (Keanu Reeves) went to Dracula's castle, he left behind the beautiful Mina Murray (Winona Ryder), but they stayed in contact with letters. But letters take time to travel, so this relationship was tempered with patience and love, and then Harker boned a bunch of vampire babes in Dracula (Gary Oldman)'s basement (careful with that link, there are boobs). These days, that relationship could never have happened that way because Mina would've texted Jonathan "goodnight, sweetheart!" right before that girl ... bit his dick off, or whatever the hell it is she's doing. And then he would've felt embarrassed and called the whole thing off.
When you're in a fucked up relationship, the hardest part is pulling yourself out, or never texting that person again when you're drunk or just lonely. But with modern social media, that's gotten even harder. It's not enough to simply stop calling them; you have to unfriend them on Facebook (a proactive step), and even then you're going to see them in your feed if you have any mutual friends, and your cellphone might autocorrect weird words to their name, or you may have interactions on something called Snapchat, because what the hell is that. Oh, it's a social media app with a constantly changing TOS and interface, just like every other social media app. Keeping up with the latest trends on the Internet isn't just about keeping in touch with your friends -- it's about not keeping in touch with them, too. And sometimes that's a whole lot harder.
#1. The "I Don't Want to Ruin the Friendship" Zone
Surprise, bitches! This is what the actual friend zone is! Also sorry for saying "bitches," I know using that term like that is sexist. I just really like the comedic shock value of the phrase "Surprise, bitches!" Do you think it would work as a T-shirt? I'm getting off topic.
If you've ever been in "the friend zone," remember that you weren't put there by anyone but yourself, and for evidence you need look no further than the episode of Friends that popularized the term (according to Wikipedia).
Ross wants to sleep with Rachel, and Rachel doesn't know, and Ross is trying to work up the courage to tell her, and Friends lasted 10 seasons on that joke. You might be thinking that Rachel is a bitch for forcing Ross into that situation by not just sleeping with him, if you're the kind of sociopath who thinks that women are responsible for every problem that befalls a man. The real problem there is that Ross doesn't respect himself enough to act on his feelings and doesn't respect Rachel enough to be honest. He's kind of a dick, because secretly wanting to fuck someone but not telling anyone because you want to manipulate them into fucking you without being honest about your intentions means that you're kind of a dick.
Winston Rowntree
Friendship and romance are different. You can't trade one for the other. If you're in love with one of your friends, then you've already ruined the friendship through the simple involuntary act of wanting to fuck them. If you wanna wait it out and try to be friends again, do that. If you wanna act on it, do that. If you wanna sit on the sidelines and try to puppeteer a person into sleeping with you without letting them know that's what you're trying to do, then you're only technically not a rapist. And I wouldn't put that on a T-shirt, either.

HUNTSVILLE, Alabama _ Bob Dylan wrote, "The times they are a changing." They have already changed. You'll find more signs of that than you want in the yards of your neighbors all over Alabama. They say, "For Sale." They say, "For Rent."
Sad "Space Available" signs hang crookedly in dusty windows of ghostly halls in dead strip malls. Grasses that can't be coaxed to grow in lawns sprout in asphalt parking lots.
If you will be unemployed again once the holidays are over, note that those who take credit for the small percentage drop in Alabama's unemployment can't be found when the numbers drift upwards. The best politicians money can buy spend more time taking credit and fixing blame than they spend on fixing problems.
Partisanship has reached such feverish heights that the party "out of power" actively obstructs true progress on any problem for fear it will reflect favorably on the party in power.
Stats and numbers are funny - not funny ha-ha, funny weird. They can be made to say whatever you want. If you are one of the many still without a job, here's news for you: If you are no longer eligible for unemployment compensation you are no longer "unemployed." You aren't counted among the legions of the jobless.
The long-term unemployed are invisible, less than statistical zeros; their absence is a plus because it doesn't count negatively. They count "officially" again only when they rejoin the workforce and drive the numbers in the right political direction. The right direction is that which can best be used as a club against the opposition.
Here I go again, being the fool who writes of the emperor's new clothes, offending pet politicians and Kardashian-like Kansas City Stars. There was a time when messengers that bore unwelcome news were shot.
Times have changed just as Dylan predicted. The messenger is no longer shot. He is handcuffed, muzzled, starved, and pecked to death by small ducks with big bills.
On the other side of the music, Ted Nugent, in the delirium of "Cat Scratch Fever" says, "Cut Social Welfare Programs," He says poverty is based on "poor decisions." More to the point, he continues, "We need to punish."
It's hard to argue with some of that, but it would be much easier if all of the guilty were punished; you know, some of those "too big to fail" banks and investment companies the taxpayers bailed out. They took the money and ran. 'Gimme what you got," wasn't enough; it became "gimme all you'll ever have. Gimme your 401K."
Not all who lost their jobs were on the social dole. Many who suffered or will suffer home foreclosures weren't beneficiaries of no-credit-check mortgages.
The screamers about "socialistic transfers of wealth" are so quiet you can hear rats lick lard when faced with the fact that since 2008 the greatest transfer of wealth since the Great Depression has happened -- wealth transferred from poor to rich.
The poorest had little to give. Wealth was transferred from the middle class who had worked hard and weren't asking anyone for anything but a fair shake. They got a shakedown instead.
From my front yard I can see a half-dozen "For Sale" signs. Those people have been punished enough and dropping property values punish the rest, many headed for poverty on go-karts. Don Henley sang, "A man with a briefcase can steal more money than a man with a gun." Your neighbors left their piece of the American Dream. Remember, Don Henley also sang, "I will not go quietly." Like me, he'd rather be shot.

This book should easily prove to be a useful and practical text, and should be welcomed and appreciated by both physician and educator. It fills a real need admirably, and intelligibly covers a field which is quite foreign to all but a few persons. The particular value of the book lies in the fact that it deals exhaustively with the unusual type of case and details methods and forms of treatment suitable to the individual case. This is the type of help really wanted, but only too commonly missed in the average text. All directions are concise and clear, therefore easily understood and applied. The chapters on posture are particularly good. This is fortunate in view of the fact that the subject has received considerable attention in recent pediatric literature, and is considered important. Another excellent chapter is the one on shoes and correct exercises for the feet. The style

BLOEMFONTEIN Celtic on Monday got yet another home quarterfinal against Soweto giants in a cup competition.
Having beaten Orlando Pirates in the Telkom Knockout at the same stage last November, Celtic will be lifted by that emphatic come-from-behind victory when they welcome Kaizer Chiefs for the last eight of the Nedbank Cup in April.
Celtic were eventual winners of the Telkom Knockout and striker Lennox Bacela said although Amakhosi were tough opponents, playing them in front of their Free State crowd in three weeks' time would help Celtic be more daring.
"I think after we won the Telkom Knockout, a lot of people thought the wheels would come off. But we have just kept going," Bacela said after the draw in Johannesburg.
"That has helped us go for even bigger things this season and the way we beat Pirates shows how important our home record is.
"We have to overcome big games to win the cup," said Bacela, pointing out Celtic had to go past neighbours Free State Stars in a derby match to progress to the quarterfinals.
Celtic and Chiefs will have an opportunity to assess each other before the cup game. They meet in a league match on March 31, something that will comfort Amakhosi midfielder Willard Katsande.
"History will tell you that we are not that good against Celtic, but this is a different stage and a different competition," he said.
Katsande said the possibility of winning the league double was tough to ignore. "We really need this cup but we want to take it one game at a time."
Other quarterfinal matches include Mamelodi Sundowns against Platinum Stars and United FC taking on African Warriors.
The PSL said the last 16 fixture between Tembu Royals and Maritzburg United — delayed because of an arbitration process after AmaZulu complained Royals had fielded an illegal player — would be played on Friday. The winner of that game will then face SuperSport United in the quarterfinals.

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama - If the snow comes, authorities in the Birmingham area are ready.
The Jefferson County Emergency Management Agency at 6 a.m. activated its Emergency Operations Center in downtown Birmingham. That means officials with EMA, the Birmingham Police Department, The Jefferson County Sheriff's Office, Birmingham Fire and Rescue and city and county public works employees are huddled around a dozen monitors in the EMA operations room, waiting to spring into action if needed.
"Right now we've got folks here and we are monitoring,'' said EMA Officer Horace Walker. "Going by what the National Weather Service says, it shouldn't be too big of an issue.
The forecast calls for snow to begin about 9 a.m. with up to four inches possible in portions of central Alabama. Wind gusts could be as high as 30 mph, and the chance of precipitation is 100%.
Birmingham patrol officers are being told to fill up their gas tanks before the weather rolls in shortly. "We are monitoring the reports and command staff will decide what actions, if any,we will take,'' said Birmingham police spokesman Sgt. Johnny Williams Jr.
Jefferson County sheriff's Chief Deputy Randy Christian said patrol divisions will have snow chains on hand, and will have four-wheel drive vehicles placed strategically. Should conditions deteriorate, patrol supervisors will monitor conditions and make a determination on non-emergency calls. Sheriff's officials also will provide special transport for any essential medical personnel to hospitals.
