Errazuriz Max Reserva Sauvignon Blanc 2012
Sauvignon Blanc from Aconcagua Valley, Chile
Winemaker's Notes
Light yellow in color, this Sauvignon Blanc presents tremendous aromatic intensity and features citrusy lime and grapefruit notes along edged with an herbaceous side that recalls green chilli pepper, all framed by a veil of minerality that is characteristic of the vineyard terroir. The palate has body and softness with refreshing acidity and a fresh, juicy sensation on the long finish.
Critical Acclaim
Wine & Spirits - "From a recently planted vineyard in Aconcagua, about eight miles from the sea, this is a cool sauvignon, electric with scents of citrus and herbs. The wine is rich with alcohol, held in check by a firm edge of acidity. A classic coastal Chilean white for oysters."
Errazuriz Winery
Don Maximiano Errazuriz founded Viña Errazuriz in 1870 in the Aconcagua Valley, north of Santiago. This valley has cool, rainy winters, hot, dry summers and moist Pacific Ocean breezes--ideal for growing grapes. Don Maximiano sent for the finest clones from France and with tenacity and perseverance transformed this barren land into a world-class vineyard. Today, the tradition of quality lives on with Don Maximiano's descendant, Eduardo Chadwick--the fifth generation of his family to be involved in the wine business. Eduardo has overseen the modernization of the winemaking technology at this historic estate while maintaining a distinct identity for its wines, dedicated to producing estate grown wines of superior quality.

About ChileView a map of Chile wineries (CHEE-lay)Long and thin, Chile has a lot of land north to south. The wine region here is a series of districts based near Santiago. The vineyards are protected by the Pacific on the west and the Andes mountains on the east. This could help explain why the climate changes more from east to west than north to south – also why the country has remained phylloxera free. Quite a few wineries in Chile were founded by large French wine companies. Seeing the potential of the country, vineyards were bought and planted by these French folks and the results tell of a smart investment. Some of these wineries include: Los Vascos, Casa Lapostolle and Cousino Macul. And while the inspiration may have been French, but the wines here are quite Chilean.

Notable FactsThe main regions of Chile include Maipo (pronounced MY-poh), known for reds like Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Carmenere; Casablanca Valley, a region producing delicious Sauvignon Blanc, as well as other whites & some reds; Colchaugua, an inland district creating amazing red wines from Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon, particularly in the Apalta sub-region; and Rapel Valley, settled right under Maipo and producing the same red varietals. A couple of smaller regions to watch include Limari and Elqui, two valleys further north, producing some delicious cool-climate Chardonnay and Bio Bio, an area further south, which is also focused on cool-climate varieties. Chilean wines are growing in exports and more consumers are enjoying the delicious values coming from the country. Red wines of the region, though they cannot be generalized, make the whole gamut of wine quality – quaffable to collectible. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot & Carmenere are the main players, though Syrah is also making a splash. Some of the best reds are blends of the above varieties. As for whites, Sauvignon Blanc is typically crisp, herbal and racy, while Chardonnay is richer in style with full-bodied texture and tropical fruit flavors.

We just had one of the worst movie experiences ever. We went to see Sherlock Holmes, and FROZE. When we complained to the manager about how cold the room was, he couldn't have cared less. If you can't afford to pay for heat, you should just shut down. We will go to the AMC theather in Broomfield from now on.

MADISON, Wis. — A year ago, the only mention of a secret John Doe investigation in Wisconsin was mostly from disgruntled liberals grumbling that fellow Democrat, Milwaukee County District Attorney John Chisholm, hadn't been able to indict Republican Gov. Scott Walker.
In early March 2013, Chisholm had officially shut down a nearly three-year probe into former aides and associates of Walker that began when Walker was Milwaukee County executive. That investigation ended with relatively little to show for its exhaustive, meandering efforts. The court-administered dragnet picked up six convictions, only two that had anything to do with the original scope of the John Doe — the pilfering of cash from a county veterans' fund. And those allegations were brought to the DA by Walker's staff.
But little did anybody know, save the Milwaukee County prosecutors and perhaps some of the conservatives they were targeting, that Chisholm had never really stopped looking at Walker. He had, in fact, opened a second John Doe in August 2012.

Historical Traveler Reviews Limerick City Hotel
What a dive!
Ugh! If I had known how horrible the hotel was going to be I would have happily slept on the street, it would have been an improvement.
I don't know why but apparently the staff at Jurys see it as perfectly ok to not clean the rooms properly after each stay.
I found a condom wrapper(!!) in behind the toilet which was in plain sight, the bedspread smelled like a wet dog and the amount of hairs in the bathroom was incredible. Jurys need to start retraining staff ASAP because they have lost one customer here already.
The bar leaves a lot to be desired but breakfast, although served in a glorified canteen, was lovely.
The receptionist on check in as wonderful a different receptionist who was on duty when I checked actually let out a really snotty sigh when I asked for change of a 5 euro note.
The location is wonderful. I found it to be quite quiet at night but I am a very heavy sleeper.
All in all I won't be returning to the run down and dirty hotel but if youre young and just don't care about cleanliness or service then Jurys Inn is the place for you.
Surprising find
I am surprised by the negative feedback about this hotel. I only stayed one night, but I was pleased with it. The rates were reasonable, 90E on a Saturday night. There's nice restaurants and pubs w/in walking distance. The rooms weren't fancy, but they were clean & comfortable. Our room had a nice view of the river. All in all, I was pleasantly surprised.
Very mediocore
I stayed at Jury's Inn for 3 nights in May of last year.
I found it to be below average -- the rooms were shoddy and lacking in a lot of basic amenities. (e.g. there was no alarm clock/clock-radio in my room!) The bar and restaurant downstairs were very uninspired. Fortunately, the hotel location is fairly central, and there are more interesting options nearby.
And, to summarize my experience -- I accidentally left my camera behind in the bar at closing time. When I asked the staff about the camera the following day, I found them to be unhelpful and uninterested, and (needless to say) the camera did not show up.
In conclusion, I'd be reluctant to stay at Jury's again, despite the reasonable rates & location.
Such a shame
I stayed in this hotel for 1 night only.... the hotel itself looks nice on the outside, the rooms are basic but clean (they advertise that all rooms have sky...this is not true- all that is extra is sky one!).. generally ok but a very run-of-the mill hotel. My colleague and I each had our own room, she was allocated a room twice the size of mine although we had paid the same rate?? a bit odd I thought!
My main gripe about this hotel is that although the location is quite good (not the best by far) it is impossible to sleep... after all, isn't that why you ultimately check-in to a hotel?? I woke up the next day (as I had all throughout the night) feeling that my head had not so much as touched the pillow!!!
It started with the sirens (to be expected in any city) but they were almost constant throughout the night, followed by drunks kicking rubbish carts at the back of the hotel (where my room was located) and to top it off they had a brewery delivery at 6:40 sunday morning!!!!
If the hotels location was different it could be sooo much better (not likely though eh?) it is a "stag and hen" hotel...so be warned!! :-(
Tired Hotel, but OK
Stayed in a few Jury Inn's and I must rank this as not one of it's better ones, the hotel has a very worn feel about it, the standard of cleaning isn't great, but OK. This was my first visit to Limerick and won't hurry back, the most unfriendly city in Ireland, if you have to stay in Limerick make it short, and this hotel will fit the bill, don't expect a great hotel, most of the view will be blocked by a new building next door that's being built which wil block out everything. It is a good value short stay hotel.
Good Value
Jury's Inn was a good value (75 Euro for 3 people per night). It is one of the few chains that offers sleeping accommodations for 3 in real beds, not cots. The room is of ample size, with a nice closet and shelving space giving plenty of room for all of our clothes and luggage. Other than that, it's nothing fancy, but it was clean and comfortable. Breakfast at 9 Euro a piece is expensive, but across the street there is a great place called Londis which has excellent pastries and even a full Irish breakfast at much less cost which you can eat at the tables outside the store. Bottled water and other necessities can be found here as well.
What a view!!
Whoa! Hold on !!! I just flew home from Shannon last weekend and I spent 5 nights at the Jurys Inn in Limerick. First of all - it's an Inn bang smack in the middle of the City and we had superb view of the river (on the top floor) but you have to ask for it. Secondly - You get what you pay for and for my husband and our daughter for only $90 a night!!!!!! It was great value and our rooms were spotless. They got direct dials, tv and a shower like no other. If your looking for 4-5 star then expect to pay over the odds in other places. But the Jury Inn definately got our vote.
What a horrible little hotel. We had booked to stay here for 4 nights but checked out after the first night and went to a fantastic hotel around the corner.
Unbelievably there was a funny smell in our room too. The carpet hadnt seen a vacuum for days and the room was just dirty. I dont know how old Jurys is but they need to update their rooms.
The staff were friendly but when we asked to speak to a manager we were told there was none there just some girl who looked like she was only on the job about 2 days.
The best thing Jurys has going for it is location, but there are other hotels in the same area with much much higher standards.
Cheap but not so cheerful
have stayed in Jurys Inn a number of times, it is very cheap and central but it getting a bit rough around the edges, the furnishing is getting worn and there was an awful smell in our room the last time we stayed there.
Great value for money!!
The Jurys Inn Limerick offers excellent value for money. Prices start from 49 Euro. I booked on the day of arrival and was quoted 75 Euro over the phone, however, when I checked their Internet site I got a price of 59 Euro, saved a nice 16 Euro for a few extra minutes work.
You might need this for the parking, between 5 to 10 Euro for overnight parkiing in an adjacent car park. The rooms are spacious and great value for the price. Try and get a room to the front of the building with fantastic views of the river Shannon. Although if its a good night sleep you want then this side of the hotel not for you, it is quite noisy with not too much soundproofing on the windows. So, if you are on a tight budget this is the place to stay!!!

The stripes on the helmet and pants, ACC marking on the helmet, Oakley visor inside that specific facemask, Nike swoosh on the jersey, sleeve and wristband on left arm and wristband on the right bare striking resemblance to Boyd's prior game day attire.
Then, there's the skin color of the player. And the player is throwing a football with the right hand.
Just put the promotion's slightly doctored image next to the one of Boyd from this picture with this story.
The ice chest at the Kangaroo Express on College Avenue.
Granted, Boyd's name isn't on the ice chest, you can't tell if that is actually a No. 10 and there is no Clemson logo or insignia on the player. And we do have to assume that the player is a male, not a female.
Do we have all of our bases covered?
Is it now safe to assume that is supposed to be Boyd?
That's the first thought that came to mind as it probably has for everyone else who's seen the ice chest and has watched Boyd play football at Clemson.
Boyd, who's entering his fifth and final season as a college athlete, won't see a dime of the money that Bud Light and Kangaroo Express will generate because of the promotion. No offense to the thirst quenching beer that's less filling and to the service station that's supplied me with a Bud Light six-pack, but let's be real here.
This ain't right.
At its fundamental core, college football is in dire need of change. It certainly helps that momentum for it continues to grow, but when companies market like this, it's hard to take sides with the folks who think major college athletes are getting enough by receiving a free education.
Boyd is at Clemson to play football. He just happens to get an education along the way. The same can be said about just about every other former five-star prospect that is playing at a school in the ACC, SEC, Big 10, Big 12, Pac 12 and whatever they're calling the Big East these days.
He was recruited to Clemson to play on a football scholarship. In return for his services on the field, he gets a free education. Thirty years ago, before college football money reached the ridiculous level it's at right now, that was good enough.
The guy's played a major part in generating millions of dollars, countless hours of promotion and helped reinvigorate a football program that went through quite dry spell before he took over as the starting quarterback.
Now, thanks to a couple of loopholes, Bud Light and Kangaroo Express are capitalizing on that, too.
They could have at least placed a more up-to-date picture on the ice chest.

CFP-Deadline Extended-Peace through Faith-based Grassroots Organization? Exploring the Gülen Movement
United States
Conference Date:
Date Submitted:
Announcement ID:
-Application Deadline is extended to January 29, 2010-
University of Texas – Pan American College of Arts and Humanities, in cooperation with the Institute of Interfaith Dialog, is hosting a conference on the ideas of Fethullah Gülen and the faith-based civil society movement inspired by his discourse: the Hizmet or Gülen Movement. The main goal of this conference is to examine the Gülen Movement from a multi-disciplinary and comparative perspective in an attempt to understand in what ways the participants of the Gülen Movement promote global peace through educational activities and interfaith dialogue. At the heart of this lies the question of whether such dialogue can overcome or avert the "clash of civilizations," predicted by such scholars as Samuel P. Huntington, which has become a rallying cry for many on both sides of the perceived East/West ideological divide. The activities of the Gülen Movement vary from education to health services to disaster relief work. The chief concern for this conference is to determine how the interfaith dialogue that occurs within these activities may serve to ease the pressures of globalization.
Possible themes and questions for the conference may include but are not limited to:
• Would Gülen's thought contribute to the advancement of the modern society that would embrace a peaceful coexistence of multi-ethnic, multi-religious groups in a democratic state structure?
• Was it the pragmatic needs of the social mobilization or a modern interpretation of Islam that shaped the ideas of Gülen?
• How does Gülen view the compatibility of democracy and Islam in modern society?
• How does pluralism emerge in Gülen's thought?
• How do the interfaith dialog activities of the Gülen Movement bring Gülen's thought from theory into practice?
• Do the educational activities of the Gülen Movement contribute to global peace?
• Gülen's ideas in the practice of the Gülen Movement: Educational, healthcare and financial institutions and NGOs,
• Financial resources of the Gülen Movement,
• Gülen's thought on capitalism,
• A comparative analysis of Gülen and other philosophers,
• A comparative analysis of the Gülen Movement and other faith-based groups,
• Pluralism and democracy in Gülen's thought and in the Gülen Movement's practice,
• Interfaith dialog activities of the Gülen Movement,
• Gülen's thought on different versions of secularism
All abstracts must be submitted electronically to email@example.com by January 29, 2010. Abstracts should be no more than 300 words and written in MS Word or similar rich text format.
Please include (GM 2010-last name, first name) on the subject line of your email.
All submitted abstracts will be reviewed on a double-blind review basis. All applicants will be notified by February 5, 2010. The organization committee will select the best papers with the intention of seeking publication with an academic press.
Full papers are due by Friday, March 12, 2010. Papers should be between 5,000 and 10,000 words including a 300 word abstract and notes. Chicago manual of style should be followed.
Travel Grant:
A limited number of travel grants are available for no more than $500.00 for presenters only.
Applicants for the travel grant should include a 500 word summary explaining the reason for their request.

Message from the Dean
Science and mathematics help us understand the world. We use science—the scientific method, observation, experiment, interpretation, argument, and proposing hypotheses—to explain what happens around us, in the environment or in our own bodies. We use mathematics—symbols, equations, modeling, and theoretical analysis—to concisely describe what happens around us. When we understand something at a deep level, we use science and mathematics to make predictions about what will happen, if we do this, or if we do that. We modify our hypotheses and our models and our equations as we observe what actually happens. Because science and mathematics are so fundamental, the College of Science and Mathematics takes our mission very seriously, to impart what science and mathematics can do, and to push the envelope of knowledge further out through research.
It is my goal that in every science class, students are doing science, and in mathematics class, they are doing mathematics. No one expects to become a great painter by watching someone else apply watercolors to paper, and we do not expect students to attain expertise in science and mathematics by watching an authority deliver a lecture or solve a computational problem. Students should also have opportunities to express their creativity and entrepreneurial spirit.
It is my goal that every faculty member has the tools and resources to carry out their research. Faculty need state of the art core facilities, and networks of colleagues to discuss results, provide feedback on research proposals, and celebrate having articles published.
The highest achievers in our society did not get there alone. They received help, in the form of a mentor, an advocate, someone who "knew the ropes." The college is dedicated to creating an environment where everyone pays it forward. Faculty mentor other faculty, students mentor other students, alumni are tapped for their expertise, and the college provides the resources, processes and policies that facilitate these interactions.
Dr. Kathrin Engisch
Interim Dean, College of Science and Mathematics
The Wright State University College of Science and Mathematics (CoSM) was founded in 1964 as one of the first two colleges of the new Dayton Campus of Miami University and Ohio State University. In 1964, CoSM was known as the College of Science and Engineering. In 1985, Wright State University established the College of Engineering and Computer Science and the College of Science and Mathematics. CoSM remains one of the largest colleges on campus.
The CoSM Interim Dean is Dr. Kathrin Engisch. She became Interim Dean in July 2015. Dr. Engisch is an associate professor of neuroscience, cell biology and physiology, and served as associate dean for undergraduate education and outreach since 2012.
Past Deans of CoSM include, Yi Li(2011-2015), Dan Voss (2010-2011, Interim), Michele Wheatly (2002-2009), Robert Weisman (2001-2002, Interim), Roger Gilpin (1996-2001), Marc Low (1991-1996), Richard Millman (1986-1991), John Rossmiller (1984-1986, Interim), Brian Hutchings (1974-1984), and Robert Conley.
Currently, CoSM offers eight undergraduate programs (including 9 majors and 8 minors), 15 masters programs, and 4 Ph.D. programs. There are approximately 165 faculty within the college. In the Fall of 2014, there were 1866 registered students in the college (1442 undergraduate). The largest departments in the college in the Fall of 2014 were Biological Sciences and Psychology.
CoSM reaches every student at Wright State University with one of more of its classes whether or not they are a science or mathematics major through core education requirements.

China pays internet users to flood web forums with pro-government propaganda
- From: AFP
- May 16, 2011
CHINA, which employs an army of censors to police the internet, has also deployed legions of "web commentators" to get the government's message out in a crafty but effective way.
With nearly half a billion people surfing the net in China, more than half of them using microblogs, the internet has quickly become a vital forum for debate in the world's most populous country — and a major sounding board.
That fact has obviously registered with the country's Communist leaders, who pay careful attention to the conversations that unfold online despite heavy restrictions on what can and cannot be discussed in cyberspace.
Enter the "web commentators" who, either anonymously or using pseudonyms, spread politically correct arguments — many of them for money.
So who are these high-tech propaganda wizards, infiltrating blogs, news sites and chat rooms?
"It is very mysterious... these people don't talk to the media. Everyone is just guessing," says Jeremy Goldkorn, editor of the China media website Danwei.org.
For high-profile independent Chinese blogger Li Ming, the army of pro-government web commentators must number "at least in the tens of thousands".
Renaud de Spens, a Beijing-based expert on the Chinese internet, says most of the propaganda bloggers are likely to be students "doing a basic cut-and-paste job" — a mindless task, "just like if they took jobs in telemarketing".
Some of those students are trying to improve their chances of gaining a coveted party membership.
But the group of web spin doctors also includes civil servants and employees of state-owned firms — and even retirees and housewives keen to support the party line.
De Spens notes that the system is far from centralised.
"The provinces, cities, districts and work units all rally their own small armies to infiltrate the internet in a subtle way," he said.
In 2010, the Global Times reported that Gansu province alone was looking to recruit 650 full-time web commentators "to guide public opinion on controversial issues".
Amnesty International secretary-general Salil Shetty in March warned that countries like China and Iran were investing "considerable resources into pro-government blogs" in an effort to cement state power.
About five years ago, when blogs first took off in China, the country saw its first "wu mao" — net commentators paid by the message to spread the official party line.
"Wu mao" is a Chinese slang term for web commenters. It literally means "50 cents" — the term is used to describe people who can be easily paid-off to support the government's agenda.
But according to De Spens, they were progressively replaced by a new breed of online government workers — who are more subtle and more effective.
"It certainly seems that they have gotten more sophisticated," says Bill Bishop, co-founder of the news site MarketWatch who now blogs about the internet in China.
"They have been doing this for years. They have been very good at learning how to use the internet."
Instead of posting simple slogans such as "Long live our leaders" or "Long live the party", the web commentators develop detailed, rational arguments.
On the crisis in Libya, they have published comments slamming the hypocrisy of the West in launching air strikes against the regime of Moamer Kadhafi — a campaign opposed by Beijing — saying they are only interested in oil.
"There is a subliminal effect — the message gets into people's heads, even the dissidents, especially the arguments that make sense," De Spens said.
Other recent hot topics include the US raid that resulted in the killing of Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, China's efforts to build an aircraft carrier, equal opportunity in education, food safety and vegetable prices.
On Sina Weibo — China's answer to Twitter, which is officially blocked on the mainland — the pro-government netizens are working on tainting the reputation of detained artist and activist Ai Weiwei.
Web commentators "are paid based on the number of comments they post, and they can also get a bonus if one of their posts is named one of the most popular on the site," Li explained.
Experts are divided on the overall effectiveness of the massive web operation.
"On the main hot topics, three days into the debate, only the propaganda remains online," creating a "false general opinion" which the great majority of web users will blindly follow, De Spens said.
"That is the major success of Chinese propaganda."
But Goldkorn counters that Chinese web users are "quite savvy, they tend not to trust anyone."
"When there are large numbers of comments that are toeing a government line, it certainly makes it more difficult for people who disagree to have their voice heard above the noise," he nevertheless acknowledged.
The operation does have an unfortunate downside for the leadership — independent pro-government web users are often accused of being "wu mao", a term that has become an insult.

hahahaha. "they develop rational arguments". Well,...everyone knows Libya is being bombed for oil and to kick China out. Chinese trolls dont have to think too hard to work that out. Nor does any intelligent person for that matter.

Israel also does this. Where is their axing too? So does the Pentagon in the U.S. The manipulation of reality - necessary to keep the masses at bay. If they ever realised how they were being taken advantage of, they would be extremely irate.

Heaven forbid that any governement pays experts to come up with rational detailed arguments to back up their policies and explain it to the public. Clearly if they need experts to construct these arguments they must be wrong; because as we know from the Labor government, all the best polices are the ones that aren't thought through, consulted or explained to anyone and fueled by pure self-interested ulterior motives. I means what type of country would we live in, if our public was present with rational detailed arguments? people might actually realise that Labor are morons and we can't have that can we?

The Chinese government has been lying to its people since time immemorable. Paying people to do it is yet another example of how far behind the developed world they are. Spreading crap about the US like they want Libya's oil doesn't wash with anyone. If the US wanted to take it, they'd already have done so. There must be a lot of dumb Chinese.

ok, from the article- "Instead of posting simple slogans such as "Long live our leaders" or "Long live the party", the web commentators develop detailed, rational arguments." detailed rational arguments is what governments are supposed to be founded on.HOW IS THIS A BAD THING? also, how is this not exactly what happens everywhere else? rational, detailed arguments WOULD BE WELCOME HERE, and a step up from what both sides of politics do here.

No Kidding of Darwin Posted at 3:33 PM May 16, 2011
It's easy to pick here too. Whenever you read a political editorial or opinion post, just watch for the 'single name of capital city' ie: John of Brisbane, who post the a-typical lines like "Tony Abott and his political muck-raking..." or "Julia Gillard didn't lie about a carbon tax, she merely avoided telling the truth." In China, at least the subversive posts are somewhat more subtle like: 'Taiwan is out friend' or 'Yay Tibet, you're a great little buddy...' closely followed by a post like "Remember, we have over a million people in our Army alone..."

To be honest I dont think that Chinese stories/news are any less "impartial" than ours. That is a bad reflection on us BTW. Agree with Tracker of China - lot of talk about human rights abuse but haven't seen any evidence. USA probably don a lot worse than they would ever do but we dont get up in arms about them.

Tracker of China ex Sydney Posted at 3:06 PM May 16, 2011
How strange, I usually comment on Chinese blogs (both English and Chinese language) and I don't get paid by the Chinese Government yet I am usually supportive of topics discussed. I am also still trying to find all these human rights abuses after more than 20 years traveling around China and I have been to some pretty remote places. It is true that most blogs and chat rooms have mediators to keep the place clean very much like the old days of IRC but I don't see any difference from here or Australia with the exception the Aussie media tends to BS more.

I've lived in China for 6 months and from experience my colleagues are very pro government. They would happily support government agenda. Its just the western countries protocol to bring up democracy. Its funny how democratic they are torturing and murder terrorists. Where are their human rights ? Its all bollocks !

me of behind you Posted at 2:23 PM May 16, 2011
Its easy to spot such Chinese government propaganda stooges posting on Internet forums. Their ridiculous and unsophisticated arguments in favour of Chinese policy make them stand out like sore thumbs. This attempt at influcencing public opinion by stealth more often than not makes a mockery of Chinese policy rather than selling it to the rest of the world.

Finally the Chinese Communist party have taken a leaf from the Conservative little blue handbook and are now following the methods of the Fudster in Chief and his army of mindless minions.

John of Sydney Posted at 2:18 PM May 16, 2011
It happens everything there is poll and a new article. They always make it sound balanced. The 49% to 51% method, the people would never know. Lets say they want to bring in Carbon tax, they can just say 51% support it and 49% don't. The mass's of people will see this well! 51% support it, so it's democratic and we must support it. You would have to conduct your own poll to verifie the data. You have Military propagandists, who most likely blog and comment for propaganda purpose's then you have legions of under miners that try to destroy dangerous conspiracy theories that are destroying the creditability of the government and the media. Then you have paided shills, so called leaders talking 90% truth, then adding 10% of nonsense to discredit the 90% of truth.

Gee i cant wait until China is our new world leader. The west are so stupid and greedy. So we make a little money from China, but have to spend the rest of our lives in green uniforms toiling in the rice fields.

Not a bad idea, considering western media dominated by Foxnews, BBC, CNN are all controlled by the same party. Not even mentioning from classic movie such as Rambo to Battlefield 3, they are all pro-american proganda. If those strategy can be executed effective and easily, why not copy from them.

This article is preposterous. We, uhhh, I mean, they would never do such a thing! Also the Chinese government is always completely honest and in no way tries to shape the thoughts or opinions of its citizens...

The Tap Pre-Show: See the Last Bison perform 'Switzerland' in our studio
The Last Bison is a family affair. Actually two families. Frontman Ben Hardesty's father Dan does the banjo and mandolin, with Ben's sis Annah on bells and percussion. Andrew Benfante handles reed organ and the melodica, and brother Jay is on drums and percussion. Then "honorary relatives" Teresa Totheroh (Annah's best friend) plays violin, with Annah's boyfriend Amos Housworth on cello.
With their talents combined the Virginia folk revival act has made one of my favorite songs so far this year "Switzerland," appearing on its debut album "Inheritance" for Republic Records (home of the Avett Brothers and Of Monsters and Men). The combination of whimsical xylophone and banjo, the beauty of violin and cello, and the gruff passion of Ben Hardesty's voice really gets under my skin. »Read Full Blog Post
John Legend woos audience with smooth and sexy demeanor
Fellas, are you striking out in the ladies' department? Then take a few tips from the John Legend playbook, as displayed at the R&B star's capacity Riverside Theater show Monday night.
When you take off your blazer (or, if one's not in your possession, your Packers jacket), pacing is key. Slip it off the left arm...sloowwwwly. Pop that shoulder. Take a pause (one Mississippi, two Mississippi), then smoothly slide it all off. »Read Full Article(3)
Mark Rylance storms Broadway with 'Richard III,' 'Twelfth Night'
New York — Thirty-odd years ago, Mark Rylance was a University School of Milwaukee high school student performing as Hamlet under director Dale Gutzman, whom Rylance continues to credit for kindling a love of Shakespeare and theater.
Cut to the present, in which the London-based Rylance is taking Broadway by storm — in repertory performances at the Belasco Theatre as Olivia in "Twelfth Night" and the title role in "Richard III" — that could add a third Tony to his trophy case. Having recently caught both performances, it's easy to see why. »Read Full Article

Alisa Solomon takes look at rich history of 'Fiddler on the Roof'
Following Broadway's opening night performance of "Fiddler on the Roof," an old man who had fled a Russian shtetl — later abandoning his religion and Americanizing his name — came backstage to see his son, the show's director and choreographer. Throwing his arms around Jerome Robbins and weeping, he asked, "How did you know all that?"

Upon his appointment as Everton manager in June, Roberto Martinez acknowledged the "incredible platform" left for him to build on by departing boss David Moyes.
At that press conference unveiling, which can be found at Everton's official website, the Spaniard was (unsurprisingly) genuinely optimistic about the potential of his new club.
"There are six clubs working on a different financial level to us, but I do believe that with our tools and our genetic order within the club we can find a way to compete with those teams," Martinez stated.
This summer has seen those clubs (who were around Everton at the top of last season's Premier League table) undergoing substantial change themselves. In comparison, the first rumblings of the Toffees' new era have gone largely unheard outside of Merseyside.
The start of the season will change that.
Just what Martinez has in mind to "compete with those teams" will translate from preseason planning into a realized strategy over the campaign's opening months.
Based on his own past as Wigan Athletic manager and Everton's recent history, here are a few first steps the Spaniard will be looking to take at Goodison Park.

The following information is based on satellite imagery, weather observations, radar, and meteorological analysis. Based on 1200 UTC surface analysis and satellite imagery through 1500 UTC. ...INTERTROPICAL CONVERGENCE ZONE/MONSOON TROUGH... The monsoon trough extends from 08.5N78W TO 07N77W TO 12N94.5W TO 12.5N106WTO 09N123W TO LOW PRES NEAR 11.5N135W. SCATTERED STRONG WITHIN180 NM S OF TROUGH E OF 88W. SCATTERED MODERATE TO STRONG WITHIN330 NM N AND 360 NM S OF TROUGH BETWEEN 90W AND 110W. ...DISCUSSION... OFFSHORE WATERS WITHIN 250 NM OF MEXICO... Post-tropical remnant low of Roslyn is centered near 24N117W and is a low level clouds swirl drifting WSW. Wind have diminished to 20 kt or less and associated seas have subsided to 5 to 7 ft surrounding this feature. The low is forecast to dissipate during the next 12 hours. A weak pressure gradient over the forecast waters is supporting mainly light to gentle winds across the area. The exception to this is in the Gulf of Tehuantepec where gap winds reached around 30 kt earlier this morning, and seas built to 7-10 ft. Seas are in the 4-6 ft range north of 20N outside the Gulf of California, 6-7 ft south of 20N, and 2 ft or less through all but the southern entrance to the Gulf of California. High pressure will build across the region from the NW through the weekend and strengthen the pressure gradient W of 110W to produce a modest increase in winds across the Pacific waters of the Baja California Peninsula. Associated N to NW swell moving into the area will raise seas to 6-8 ft across the northern waters and 4-6 ft N of 20N by late Sun. A surface trough is noted from 22N113W to low pres near 17.5N113.5W to 13N113W. Isolated to scattered moderate to strong convection is occurring within 75 nm either side of the trough and low. active convection will continue near and to the east of this trough through Sat. By that time, the remnant low of Roslynwill have dissipated, and allow the NE Pacific high pressure to build back across the northern waters as mentioned. OFFSHORE WATERS WITHIN 250 NM OF CENTRAL AMERICA, COLOMBIA, AND WITHIN 750 NM OF ECUADOR... Light and variable winds are expected north of the monsoon trough, while gentle to locally moderate south to southwesterly winds are expected south of the monsoon trough through the upcoming weekend. Combined seas of 4 to 7 ft, primarily in long- period southwesterly swell is expected across the offshore waters through the upcoming weekend. REMAINDER OF THE AREA... Tropical Storm Ulika has moved west of 140W and its influence on the forecast waters will continue to decrease, with winds and seas falling below 20 kt and 8 ft this afternoon. High pressure will build over the northern waters which will increase the pressure gradient, freshening winds north of the monsoon trough this weekend. The long fetch of these fresh trades will help build seas to the 7-9 ft range early next week. $$ Stripling

Country Thunder 2013 sells out six months early
Hopefully any Wisconsin country music fans who were eager to party with the biggest stars this summer at Country Thunder were thinking way ahead and already purchased their tickets. The annual four-day country music festival in Twin Lakes is already sold out six months in advance of its July 18-21 run, event organizers announced Tuesday. In addition to all multi-day passes already being gobbled up, no single day tickets will be available either.
One of a large number of country festivals across Wisconsin each summer, Country Thunder has grown in recent years to draw fans from across the nation to camp out in Southeastern Wisconsin and see a lineup of some of the genre's biggest stars. Last year's festival attendance topped 33,000. That was also a sell out, but one that only came days before the festival began. »Read Full Blog Post(2)

on December 23, 2013 - 12:01 AM
The Buffalo School District is well-known for the ways it keeps information from the public, but the manner in which important business is brought to School Board meetings at the last minute and without public notice is completely unacceptable.
As News staff reporter Sandra Tan noted in the School Zone blog, a special meeting called for 4 p.m. the other day originally listed two agenda items: One referenced the Cross and Joftus consulting firm and another simply "other items" from the superintendent.
Those "other items" from Superintendent Pamela C. Brown were hugely significant, having to do with the closing and relaunching of three schools – Bennett High School, Harvey Austin School and Martin Luther King Multicultural Institute. Brown did say at an earlier committee meeting that she would bring up recommendations regarding three schools at the next committee meeting, but major proposals like this deserve a thorough airing.
Brown also verbally recommended that Middle Early College be moved to Math Science Technology Prep. Although it was unanimously approved by the board, the move came as a total surprise to the public.
That's a big deal when it comes to changes in Middle Early College. Remember the 2008 recommendation that the program be phased out? That idea generated a fire storm. This time Brown headed off any criticism by devising the plan in secret.
The lengths to which the district has gone to keep the public in the dark is troubling. The district is answerable to the taxpaying public and should never try to manage the news by refusing to release information in a timely manner.
Board members must submit resolutions for consideration 48 hours in advance of a meeting. Jim Kane, chief of operational services for the district, justifies the superintendent's secrecy by saying that she is exempt from the rules board members must follow.
The superintendent may attach resolutions to the agenda at any time, he said, as long as she considers it a "late item." But there are no standards for what is considered a "late item." It's a bad policy that needs fixing.
New board member Carl Paladino beats the drum on the topic of transparency at every meeting. And new board member James Sampson put forth a resolution on the matter. Yet, the problem persists.
Board member information packets posted on the district website are often incomplete. As an earlier blog by Tan indicated, a recent agenda summary listed 15 resolutions, when there were 18.
The insular mind-set that exists within the district often backfires. As an example, the superintendent's failure to involve stakeholders in planning for the three schools has caused upset from leaders of both the Buffalo Teachers Federation and the District Parent Coordinating Council. They say that Brown and her administration did not consult teachers and parents before telling the board that she wants to close the three schools and relaunch them with different academic programs or new management.
The teachers probably never would have gone along with the proposal, but soliciting input from parents and the general public might very well have created momentum for the project.
Instead, the district dismisses the public's stake in education in a way that is nothing short of insulting. This behavior cannot continue.
