$50,000 Raised at 3rd Annual IMEF Auction
Date Posted: May 22, 2013
Winning bids added up to $50,000 at the International Milling Education Foundation's largest fundraising event of the year.
The fundraiser – a silent and centerpiece auction – was held during the annual IAOM Conference & Expo in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada.
"We are impressed by the great results, especially considering we had decided not to hold a live auction this year," Joel Hoffa, IMEF president stated.
"The industry continues to provide outstanding support for this annual event.
"Because of the generosity of companies and individuals across the industry, we're able to continue to deliver outstanding numbers for the good of the Foundation."
In addition to the money raised during the auction activities, several companies pledged and presented checks to the Foundation while in Niagara Falls.
The donations ensure that IMEF will be able to continue to inspire leadership and achievement within the milling community as the Foundation supports learning and knowledge resources.
One of the projects funded by the IMEF endowment is a scholarship program for milling science students at Kansas State University.
For the second consecutive year, two students will receive an IMEF scholarship for the coming academic year.
The recipients, Karl Janke and Bradley Schultz, will each receive $2,500 from IMEF.
Donations to the auction were made by milling companies, individuals, partner organizations, equipment and service suppliers, and others.

Legal Insurrection was able to get a comment from David Corn, the reporter at Mother Jones peddling the videos, regarding the missing footage. Corn admits there are, in fact, about one to two minutes that are unaccounted for. The Blaze
The MSM knocked themselves out yesterday, going into full Romney attack mode. They were huffing 'n puffing all day trying to blow the Romney wants to be Prez house down. A new tape (on YouTube since May) had just been "discovered" that caught Mitt Romney in an unguarded moment talking to a group of wealthy people at a private fundraiser.
Mitt's alleged crime was he was caught on tape discussing the 47% of citizens who don't pay any taxes. The media narrative/shiny object of the day…Mitt was clearly inferring these people were all freeloaders and he didn't care about them or their votes.
(Actually the figure tossed around on all the networks and morning shows, Fox & Friends and Morning Joe included for the past 2 years, is 49%, but I digress.)
That's what all the talking heads on the Obama Media Group networks were saying, so it must be true. It's not actually what he said, but who cares, it's not like anyone would think to check this out, right?
Well, not exactly. Seems more than one source did some checking because the so-called complete tapes were not so complete after all. Turns out that the tapes presented to Mother Jones by Jimmy Carter's weasel grandson (self described oppo researcher who was looking for a job) were less than full and unedited tapes. In fact they share something in common with the Nixon/Rosemary Woods tapes…stuffs missing!
According to the source, the recording device inadvertently turned off. The source noticed this quickly and turned it back on. (This is believable, right?) The source estimates that one to two minutes, maybe less, of recording was missed.
I'm beginning to experience Obama lapdog whiplash or MLW. You know what that is right? It happens every time the MSM plants a false or slanted story and then has to recant it the next day!

Human Resources Manager Resume
Free Human Resources Manager Resume Example
Compare the best resume writing services for HR professionals
Hopefully, you can make good use of this free HR manager sample resume, and we are happy to provide it.
It may seem like it's relatively easy to get a job in the field of human resources management, but it's probably harder than you imagine. HR offices are taking in hundreds, even thousands, of resumes for each job announcement. In such a competitive job market, it's important that your application stands out among all the other resumes.
Going to various resume web sites and copying from good HR manager resume samples is easy, but it's hardly original or inspiring. It doesn't really help your job search to copy and paste the content of an online sample resume. Only a popular resume example could be easily found in an online search for a specific type of sample resume. If you don't already know, search engines list HR manager resume examples that get the most traffic on the top for popular search requests. So, logically, if you are copying / pasting from the great resume example, then many others are as well. Employers see these generic resume examples, templates, text, and formats every day, and are extremely familiar with them.
Seeing the quality of HR manager resume examples are the best way to review and judge resume writing talents. You can easily tell if the resume writing service knows their way around the human resources management industry by viewing their sample resumes. Do the resume experts know the relevant keywords that need to be present throughout HR manager resumes? How effectively did they promote the client's skills? Is the career objective clear from the very first line? Do they only use boring templates or do they develop more personalized formats? Did they present exceptional HR manager cover letter examples? If not, did they demonstrate exemplary cover letter writing for other industries?
If you are a competitive HR manager, and you are going to compose resume to compete in a troublesome economy, then be very careful when trying to work with resume examples. If you can't resist the urge to duplicate content, then at least take small bits and pieces from several resume examples and add your own special touches. The last thing you should do is use the same sentence from a popular resume sample that most HR reps are very familiar with. And you need to add your own special (yet tasteful) touches to the resume format to ensure that your document is impressive and distinctive. Otherwise, strictly use HR manager resume examples to measure the talents of various resume writing services. If you research a writer service that claims to have outstanding expertise in writing human resources management resumes, then you need to look into their claims.
Scrutinize the web site to see if the service offers articles / tips for HR managers. Did they provide plenty of human resources management keywords? What other resources do they have for human resources management professionals? Can they write impressive cover letters? Do they use cover letter templates? Are their "expert" resume writers certified? Were the writers who developed the resume examples credentialed through a respected organization? Do the writers have the industry-specific experience necessary to assist HR managers? Is the writer able to be as objective and critical of their own work as employers will be? Do the writers avoid standardized templates and show examples that would clearly succeed in the current human resources management job market? If the resume service highlights honest facts on their web site, as well as expertise through their HR manager resume examples, then call them with any questions you may have.
Notable Keywords: HR manager cover letter examples, CV examples, curricula vitae examples, curriculum vitaes, HR manager CVs.

Require U.S. environmental standards everywhere
Every year, Chinese emissions growth adds another country the size of Japan. It is hard to imagine that one year of China's growth, which comes to about $600 billion, could replace the emissions of Japan's $5 trillion economy. Yet, that is the kind of economic accounting cap and trade requires.
Having failed to persuade Congress to implement European-style regime, President Obama has implemented other policies that are reducing U.S. CO2 emissions by about 2 percent each year. These include higher mileage standards for cars and moving electric utilities from coal to natural gas.
If the President and Congress choose to go further, they should embrace policies that encourage participation and sacrifice by all nations, and strengthen, not weaken the U.S. economy.
For example, the United States should require that foreign products sold in the United States meet the same emission standards as those made here. This would require that developing countries like China not exploit the cost advantages from dirty production, and these requirements could meet World Trade Organization requirements by treating domestic and foreign producers equally. That would reduce U.S. CO2 emissions without encouraging energy-intensive industries to migrate to China and other developing countries where they make the problem worse not better.

What is Professionalism?
Professionalism can best be defined through a collection of attitudes and behaviors that are expected of health professionals. The adaptation of a widely-regarded definition of medical professionalism provides a broad set of attitudes and behaviors of a health professional. (Adopted from: Swick, H.M. (2000). Toward a Normative Definition of Medical Professionalism, Academic Medicine, 75(6), 612-616).
Health and medical professionals subordinate their own interests to the interests of others.
- Professionalism reflects the health and medical professional's open willingness to subordinate his or her interests to best meet the needs of individuals.
- The expectation that a professional will subordinate self-interest has long been a hallmark of professions, and hence is the sine qua non of professionalism.
Health and medical professionals adhere to high ethical and moral standards.
- The concept that professional work has a moral value compels the health professional to behave ethically in his or her personal and professional life.
- Health and medical professionals have a duty to do right and to avoid doing wrong. Patients have a right to expect no less.
Health and medical professionals respond to societal needs, and their behaviors reflect a social contract with the communities served.
- Any profession – not just the health and medical profession – best meets its obligations when it attends actively to its duty to address community and societal needs.
- The Association of American Medical Colleges' Medical School Objectives Project report objectives state that a physician will demonstrate "knowledge of the important non-biological determinants of poor health and the economic, psychological, social, and cultural factors that contribute to the development and/or continuation of maladies," as well as "a commitment to provide care to patients who are unable to pay and to be advocates for access to health care for members of traditionally under-served populations."
Health and medical professionals demonstrate core humanistic values, including honesty and integrity, caring and compassion, altruism and empathy, respect for others, and trustworthiness.
- Values such as compassion, altruism, integrity, and trustworthiness are so central to the nature of the physician's work, no matter what form that work takes, that no health and medical professional can truly be effective without holding deeply such values.
- The practice of medicine is a human endeavor. To address the needs of their patients, physicians and other health care providers must ensure that humanistic values remain central to their professional work.
Health and medical professionals exercise accountability for themselves and for their colleagues.
- Collegial interactions have traditionally typified a profession, but such collegiality should be used neither to mask ineffective or inappropriate practice nor to protect incompetent health and medical professionals.
- Meaningful peer evaluation becomes one mechanism to enforce standards of practice and hence to exercise accountability.
Health and medical professionals demonstrate a continuing commitment to excellence.
- The demands of intellectual work require that health and medical professionals maintain the highest standards of excellence through the continuing acquisition of knowledge and the development of new skills.
- The exponential growth in biomedical knowledge makes it imperative that health and medical professionals be able to retrieve and use information efficiently, whether to make clinical decisions about individual patients or to address questions of a community's health.
Health and medical professionals exhibit a commitment to scholarship and to advancing their field.
- If commitment to excellence has an internal focus, then a commitment to scholarship has an external focus.
- The nature and the goals of health and medicine should commit professionals to advance the body of knowledge in their discipline, whether from cutting-edge research or from assuring that a practice setting is most conducive to cost-effective and efficient patient care.
Health and medical professionals deal with high levels of complexity and uncertainty.
- Uncertainty and ambiguity have long characterized the practice of health and medicine and they will continue to do so despite advance in technology and in biomedical knowledge.
- Work that is simple and repetitive, or that does not involve a great deal of judgment, does not require the independent decision making that is a hallmark of the health and medical professions.
Health and medical professionals reflect upon their actions and decisions.
- Professionals must be able to reflect dispassionately upon decisions made and actions taken, not only to improve their knowledge and skills, but also to bring balance to the professional and personal lives.
- The ability to think reflectively and critically is important to deductive reasoning, and health and medical professionals must demonstrate "the ability to reason deductively in solving clinical problems."
Professional Organizations
Membership and participation in professional organizations is an essential step in becoming a recognized expert. Professional organizations exist at the local, regional, state, national and international levels and there is typically many organizations serving a single health profession. Most US health professions do have a single national organization representing their profession. Below is a list of leading professional organizations in nursing, health and kinesiology.
Health Services and Promotion
Professional Events
Attendance and participation in professional events is required in some health professions and is strongly recommended to students for continuing professional development. Professional events are scheduled weekly across the country, as well as internationally, providing many opportunities for individuals to advance their professional knowledge and skills as they seek to become professional experts. Below is a calendar of some upcoming professional events over the next 12 months.

SHINGLE SPRINGS — Dave Mosbacher and the Foothill Throwers will host a clinic Saturday, Dec. 11, for shot putters and discus throwers at the Ponderosa High track facility.
The clinic is limited to 50 boys and girls from El Dorado County, ages 12-18, who are interested in throwing.
Five collegiate level throwing coaches will be on hand for the clinic, including 2008 Olympic gold medalist Stephanie Trafton and Sac State head throwing coach Jeff Magley.
"I'm just a parent who wants to introduce teens to some of the opportunities they have to help finance their college educations," Mosbacher said. "The sport has many scholarships available for kids who are interested in throwing."
The clinic will run from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. Saturday. Participants who own their own equipment should bring their discus and put.
The fee of $20 includes a T-shirt and lunch. For more information or to sign up call Mosbacher at (530) 417-4211.

IRIS Toxicological Review and Summary Documents for Chloroethane (External Review Draft)

Chloroethane (CE) is a gaseous halohydrocarbon under ambient conditions. Its uses include: a topical analgesic, an anesthetic when mixed with nitrous dioxide or trichloroethane, a degreasing agent, and an agent to blow styrene in foaming operations. Anecdotal human reports indicate that recreational CE sniffing causes neurological disturbances. Nothing is known about chronic oral toxicology in animals or humans. The lowest dose effect by chronic inhalation in CF-1 mice suggests a weak fetotoxic effect, a delayed skull foramina closure, at 13,057 mg/m3, while the dams were unremarkable. Using this effect an RfC was derived. CE caused uterine cancer in B6C3F1 female mice at chronic exposures of 39,600 mg/m3 with 90% incidence.
Many females showed metastasis at a number of organ sites and died early due to tumor load. Uterine carcinogenesis is uncommon in rodents, but is more common in humans. The mode of action is suggested by positive genotoxicity and structural similarity to bromoethane which also causes uterine cancers in the B6C3F1 mouse. Metabolic studies show that either chloromethane (CM) or CE can deplete cellular GSH pools by excessive reductive conjugation. CM and CE, when in excess, can be oxidized to formaldehyde and acetaldehyde, respectively, and both intermediates are regarded as posing a hazard to humans. For hazard identification purposes CE is judged to be a likely human carcinogen. An estimate of cancer potency was also derived using a linearized multistage model, though uncertainty exists because of bioassay limitations.

Hill's Launches Disaster Relief Network For Pets
In response to Hurricane Isaac in 2012, Hill's worked with the SPCA of Texas to deliver Science Diet food to dogs and cats.
Pet food maker Hill's Pet Nutrition of Topeka, Kan., aims to do more to meet the crushing needs of animal victims of natural disasters, announcing Wednesday that it established the Disaster Relief Network through its Food, Shelter & Love program.
The purpose is to more quickly and efficiently distribute pet food to disaster-affected animals through a network of 100 shelters nationwide.
"I saw firsthand the tremendous work that Hill's does when they supported my shelter during the wildfires in Colorado last year," said Jan McHugh-Smith, president and CEO of the Humane Society of the Pikes Peak Region, located in Colorado Springs, Colo.
The shelter network, which Hill's called the first of its kind, will coordinate emergency pet food deliveries during times of disaster.
"Hill's has a long-standing history of helping pets in need by assisting communities during natural disasters—partnering with shelters, veterinary hospitals, pet care organizations and communities to ensure that pets and shelter animals are fed and cared for," said Kostas Kontopanos, president of Hill's Pet Nutrition Inc. U.S.
The network, he said, formalizes the work Hill's has done with shelters throughout the United States.
Since 2002, through its Food, Shelter & Love program, Hill's has donated more than $240 million worth of Hill's Science Diet brand foods to nearly 1,000 shelters and helped more than 7 million pets find new homes.
Through the Disaster Relief Network, Hill's will extend its reach by assisting pets and their owners affected by natural disasters and other emergencies.
"It was remarkable how fast they were able to respond and how committed they were to making sure we had enough food for our shelters, including the temporary shelters we set up to accommodate the influx of displaced animals," McHugh-Smith said when recounting 2012's wildfires.
When a disaster strikes, shelters may contact Hill's for assistance at email@example.com.

SINGING sewermen at Thames Water have released a comedy music video urging people not to wash drain-blocking grease from turkey dinners down their sinks this Christmas.
The latest low-budget reheat of Korean artist Psy's global hit, Gangnam Style, includes the line: "People put wet wipes and food fat down the drain, blocking up sewers and for us that's a pain."
The comedy YouTube video, entitled "Sewerman Style", stars the company's burly sewer "flushers," whose job it is to keep the bowels of London running. Thames Water also supplies water in the Swindon area and has staff based in the town, who have given a thumbs up to the performance.
The music group, led by chief flusher and rapper Rob Smith, is seen singing and dancing above and below the streets of London.
Thames Water spends £12m a year clearing 80,000 sewer blockages across its 109,000km of sewers. In some cases these blockages cause sewage to back up into people's homes.
Rob said: "This Christmas, before you pour your turkey fat down the sink, ask yourself if you'd like to see it again in a week later swimming around your lounge with a load of excrement – because that's a very real possibility.
"Our video is a bit of festive fun with a very serious message. Sewer flooding results in people literally getting their own back. It's horrific.
"It's got to stop. That's why we're hell-bent on getting people to take heed of the Sewermen's war cry: 'Bin it – don't block it'. Got it?"
Helen Bailey, Thames Water's Swindon-based head of customer insight and resolution, said: "We might not be the first organisation to do one of these Gangnam Style videos, but we're the first to do it this badly.
"The tunelessness of our singing is inversely proportional to our determination to put an end to sewer abuse – putting anything other than human waste or loo roll down drains."

A man with gray hair should never be called Scooter. You're supposed to
leave that crap behind on the playing fields of Groton or Choate or
wherever. That was his first mistake. The second was cooperating with
the investigation of a special prosecutor. As the Martha Stewart case
demonstrated, there is no longer any fifth amendment protection against
self incrimination when the feds are involved. If you refuse to
incriminate yourself, you are indicted for perjury. Never mind that the
crime for which you failed to incriminate yourself was not a crime at
all, which is why, of course, a nonpartisan special prosecutor who has
wasted two years chasing a wisp of political gossip is absolutely
compelled to indict somebody for lying about whatever he said or did
after not committing a crime.
This would all be mildly amusing if it weren't so laughably ludicrous. Now the libs have what they want (or part of it), and just watch them salivate and slobber and stammer with indignation about the vileness of a crime that used to be committed on a daily basis by the President they revere so much they're determined to put his perjurer wife in the Oval Office.
We'll stand by what we've already said about this fictitious outrage: it's not even plausible enough to make a bad TV series (NSFW).

BOZEMAN – In addition to nitrogen and sulfur, several soil nutrients can be applied in-season to help improve crop yields. Early-to-midseason application of nutrients such as phosphorus and potassium, or metal micronutrients such as iron, can benefit yields when crops are stressed by cold, dry or very wet conditions.
The best bet for ensuring optimal yields is balanced soil fertility going into the growing season. However, "if soil nutrients are marginal and root growth is slow due to cold or very wet conditions, then roots might not come into contact with a sufficient amount of nutrients," said Clain Jones, Extension soil fertility specialist in the Department of Land Resources and Environmental Sciences at Montana State University.
It is important to determine whether poor crop health is really due to nutrient deficiency. Water-logged soils may actually have increased phosphorus availability and disease tends to be a bigger issue in wet conditions.
Application to plant leaves to supply micronutrients and immobile macronutrients such as phosphorus is most beneficial if applied when there is enough leaf area to catch the liquid fertilizer. If immobile nutrients land on the soil surface, they will likely not be readily available to the roots.
More detailed information is available in a full length press release on Jones' website http://landresources.montana.edu/soilfertility.

At Watts's printing-house I contracted an acquaintance with an ingenious young man, one Wygate, who, having wealthy relations, had been better educated than most printers; was a tolerable Latinist, spoke French, and loved reading. I taught him and a friend of his to swim at twice going into the river, and they soon became good swimmers. They introduced me to some gentlemen from the country, who went to Chelsea by water to see the College and Don Saltero's curiosities. In our return, at the request of the company, whose curiosity Wygate had excited, I stripped and leaped into the river, and swam from near Chelsea to Blackfriars, performing on the way many feats of activity, both upon and under water, that surprised and pleased those to whom they were novelties.
I had from a child been ever delighted with this exercise, had studied and practised all Thevenot's motions and positions, added some of my own, aiming at the graceful and easy as well as the useful. All these I took this occasion of exhibiting to the company, and was much flattered by their admiration; and Wygate, who was desirous of becoming a master, grew more and more attached to me on that account, as well as from the similarity of our studies. He at length proposed to me traveling all over Europe together, supporting ourselves everywhere by working at our business. I was once inclined to it; but, mentioning it to my good friend Mr. Denham, with whom I often spent an hour when I had leisure, he dissuaded me from it, advising me to think only of returning to Pennsylvania, which he was now about to do.
I must record one trait of this good man's character. He had formerly been in business at Bristol, but failed in debt to a number of people , compounded, and went to America. There, by a close application to business as a merchant, he acquired a plentiful fortune in a few years. Returning to England in the ship with me, he invited his old creditors to an entertainment, at which he thanked them for the easy composition they had favored him with, and, when they expected nothing but the treat, every man at the first remove found under his plate an order on a banker for the full amount of the unpaid remainder with interest.
He now told me he was about to return to Philadelphia, and should carry over a great quantity of goods in order to open a store there. He proposed to take me over as his clerk, to keep his books, in which he would instruct me, copy his letters, and attend the store. He added that, as soon as I should be acquainted with mercantile business, he would promote me by sending me with a cargo of flour and bread, etc., to the West Indies, and procure me commissions from others which would be profitable, and, if I managed well, would establish me handsomely. The thing pleased me, for I was grown tired of London, remembered with pleasure the happy months I had spent in Pennsylvania, and wished again to see it; therefore I immediately agreed on the terms of fifty pounds a year, Pennsylvania money-less, indeed, than my present gettings as a compositor, but affording a better prospect.
I now took leave of printing, as I thought, forever, and was daily employed in my new business, going about with Mr. Denham among the tradesmen to purchase various articles, and seeing them packed up, doing errands, calling upon workmen to despatch, etc., and, when all was on board, I had a few days' leisure. On one of these days, I was, to my surprise, sent for by a great man I knew only by name, a Sir William Wyndham, and I waited upon him. He had heard by some means or other of my swimming from Chelsea to Blackfriars, and of my teaching Wygate and another young man to swim in a few hours. He had two sons, about to set out on their travels; he wished to have them first taught swimming, and proposed to gratify me handsomely if I would teach them. They were not yet come to town, and my stay was uncertain, so I could not undertake it; but, from this incident, I thought it likely that, if I were to remain in England and open a swimming-school, I might get a good deal of money; and it struck me so strongly that, had the overture been sooner made me, probably I should not so soon have returned to America. After many years, you and I had something of more importance to do with one of these sons of Sir William Wyndham, become Earl of Egremont, which I shall mention in its place.

Utahns who own an IRA, or individual retirement arrangement, have only a limited time left to make tax-free transfers to eligible charities and make them count for tax-year 2012, according to the Internal Revenue Service.
IRA owners age 70½ or older have until Thursday, Jan. 31, to make a direct transfer, or alternatively, if they received IRA distributions during December 2012, to contribute, in cash, part or all of the amounts they received to an eligible charity.
The American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, enacted Jan. 2, extended for 2012 and 2013 the provision that allowed IRA owners to exclude from their gross income up to $100,000 of "qualified charitable distributions," or QCDs. First available in 2006, this provision had expired at the end of 2011.
For tax-year 2012 only, IRA owners can choose to report QCDs made in January 2013 as if they occurred in 2012. In addition, IRA owners who received IRA distributions during December 2012 can contribute, in cash, part or all of the amounts distributed to eligible charities during January 2013 and have them count as 2012 QCDs.
The QCD option is available regardless of whether an eligible IRA owner itemizes deductions on Schedule A, the IRS said.
They are reported on Form 1040. Transferred amounts are not taxable and no deduction is available for the transfer. QCDs are counted in determining whether the IRA owner has met his or her IRA required minimum distributions for the year.
QCDs are reported on Form 1040 on Line 15. The full amount of the QCD is shown on Line 15a. Do not enter any of these amounts on Line 15b but write "QCD" next to that line. Further details can be found at http://1.usa.gov/W5HJwE.

Imitation Morphine Tablets in the Illicit Traffic
A series of examples of the ingenuity of the illicit trafficker in breaking the law.
The nature, supply, and distribution of drugs used for narcotic addiction have undergone many changes. One of the most evil was the change from the crude drugs, of which the worst was opium, to the purified, active principles and derivatives, such as morphine, heroin, and cocaine. Beneficent in medicine when used for the relief of pain and surcease from suffering, these same drugs, in their use by addicts, have brought misery, degradation, and crime, beyond telling.
A landmark in the struggle against narcotic addiction was the adoption of the "Convention for Limiting the Manufacture and Regulating the Distribution of Narcotic Drugs", also known as the 1931 Convention. Prior to that time, huge quantities of narcotic drugs, manufactured ostensibly for medical purposes, were escaping from control and were being used for the purpose of addiction.
The 1931 Convention has been very successful, but illicit dealers in narcotics have not ceased their activities. For a time, some factories shifted from country to country, setting themselves up where the laws were most lax and trying to maintain a semblance of legality while still pouring out a flood of narcotics into illicit channels. As successive countries adopted more stringent controls, these activities became more and more concealed. Broadly speaking, the manufacture of narcotic drugs in known factories is now limited to the legitimate medical and scientific needs of the world. There is some diversion to illicit purposes, of course, but this is no longer the main source of the narcotic "white drugs" of addiction, and is of minor importance compared to their manufacture in concealed, illicit laboratories.
The drying up of many sources of supply and the tightening of controls all the way along the line, resulted in enormous increases in the price paid by addicts for drugs. Still the demand exceeds the supply, so that adulteration and dilution of the drug is quite general. In the United States, the principal drug of addiction is heroin but the pure salt of heroin is almost unknown in the illicit traffic. The most common adulterants are quinine, which is present more often than not, and procaine; in addition virtually every dealer who handles the drug illicitly takes his turn in diluting it with lactose (milk sugar), sucrose (ordinary powdered sugar), mannitol, or some other inert substance.
Many addicts in the United States think that heroin is a weaker narcotic than morphine, though in reality it is much stronger. The manufacture of heroin has been prohibited in this country for many years, and the addicts know only the illegal, adulterated, diluted drug. On the other hand, they can sometimes get legal morphine on prescription-this often involving forgery or some other crime, at which the confirmed addict does not hesitate. Also morphine can sometimes be stolen from a drugstore. The addict's acquaintance with legal morphine leads him to believe that it is the stronger drug.
In such circumstances, diverted or stolen drugs in their original packages command especially high prices in the illicit traffic. The racketeers and other criminals who prey on the addicts while supplying them with narcotics know this, of course. They do not actually have stolen narcotics for sale very often, but much more often they counterfeit labels, containers, and revenue stamps, in order to enhance the price of the narcotics.
An interesting case of this kind occurred in the United States, during 1948-1950. In fact, any number of cases of law-breaking were involved, as the counterfeit "morphine pills" were spread over almost the entire country. Indeed the first discovery was made in the Philippines. The "Philippine angle" was never entirely cleared up as to its connexion, if any, with later developments.
In May 1948, a seizure was made in the Philippines of 1,222 vials labelled:
"20 soluble Hypodermic Tablets No. 3,
"Morphine Sulfate U.S.P.
"1/4 grain (0.0016 grm). Poison.
Warning-May be habit forming. Caution. To be used only by or on the prescription of a physician.
"Property of the United States 1334139.
"John Wyeth & Brother, Inc. Philadelphia, Pa."
The label was a good imitation. The tax stamp was counterfeit. No narcotic at all was found in the tablets; in this case the tablets were simply a fraud on any purchaser.
In September 1948, a passenger from Manila was picked up as he arrived at the airport of Honolulu, Hawaii, and found in possession of a large supply of counterfeit labels.
In the early part of December 1948 narcotics investigators in Kansas City, Missouri, found that tubes containing what purported to be morphine hypodermic tablets were being sold in Kansas City. Two peddlers there were buying them, about $700 worth at a time, at $20 per tube of 20 tablets labelled as 1/4 grain tablets of morphine sulphate or $4 per grain. Legitimately such tablets-if they had been genuine-would have been worth about 70 cents per tube, or 14 cents per grain. They were being sold to other addicts by the two peddlers at $7 per grain.
These tablets were found to contain poorly acetylated heroin as the narcotic.
At about the same time, a similar tube and tablets were found in South Carolina, in the possession of a doctor who had been supplying addicts. He admitted having obtained it from a man and wife running a gasoline service station in North Carolina, a pair believed to have dealt in counterfeit ration coupons for gasoline, during the war. This tube had the label-counterfeit of course-of Merck & Co.
The Kansas City tubes bore the Wyeth label, like those seized in the Philippines. But some peculiarities were noted. The narcotic stamp was overprinted with "E R S & S", presumably standing for E. R. Squibb & Sons. Doubtless this had been copied from a genuine stamp on a Squibb tube, then used with the counterfeit Wyeth label. One tube was found on which "hypodermic" was spelled "hyopdermic". Also on some tubes the cancellation date of the narcotic tax stamp appeared to be 8 December 1949, although the tubes were obtained in December 1948.
In 1949, the tubes and tablets began to be found in many parts of the United States. Seizures were made especially in New York City, Chicago, Philadelphia, and in the Carolinas. Some tubes bore an E. R. Squibb label and some a Parke-Davis label, counterfeit of course. Another Wyeth label was also found, which had "Philadelphia" abbreviated as "Philada". On the same label the decimal comma was used for the gramme equivalent, instead of the decimal point which is customary in the United States.
Although there were so many different labels it seemed likely that the tubes were coming, probably not exactly from a single source, but from some kind of loose association of racketeers, counterfeiters, and dealers in illicit narcotics. Strenuous efforts were made to trace the glass tubes or vials, but without any definite result. There was only one glass manufacturer in this country making a similar tube at the time, but an exact match for the tubes illegally used could not be found in the legal trade.
The tablets themselves were counterfeit. They varied considerably in composition but there was a general similarity. Nearly all of them purported to contain 1/4 grain morphine sulphate but instead contained heroin hydrochloride which, when hydrolyzed to morphine, amounted to about 1/12 to 1/24 grain. Since heroin is considerably stronger than morphine the users may not have felt too badly cheated. All the tablets also contained another alkaloid, brucine. This was unquestionably put in to imitate the morphine reaction with nitric acid, in case anyone got suspicious and applied this generally known test, in which morphine differs from heroin. The "heroin" was sometimes straight diacetyl-morphine and in other cases was rather poorly acetylated (or possibly, had been partly hydrolyzed in making the pills), so that the pills contained some morphine and monoacetyl-morphine as well as diacetylmorphine. All contained corn starch and lactose also. In the earlier analyses benzoic acid was generally found; later, benzocaine was found instead of benzoic acid. In a few cases quinine was present. Some of the pills became more or less brown with age while others remained white.
It is possible that some of the adulterants were already present in the "heroin" used, and were not intentionally added in making the pills. In one New York case both bulk "heroin" and "morphine" tablets were seized. This "heroin" contained heroin (diacetylmorphine) hydrochloride, benzoic acid, quinine, and small amounts of lactose and starch. The "morphine" tablets contained heroin hydrochloride, brucine, quinine, lactose, and starch, and some of the tablets also contained morphine hydrochloride.
The tablets had a considerable distribution in the Carolinas. There are certain regions in these states where morphine addiction is almost endemic, dating back to the time before there were any laws controlling narcotics, and it has been impossible so far to stamp it out completely.
A case was made against a dealer, X. Y., who was also an addict himself. When arrested, he told the narcotic agents the full story of his recent activities in dealing in narcotics.
He began his account with 1947. In the early part of this year, and previously, he had dealt in "Spanish type" morphine labelled "Medical Depot, Madras" and "English type" morphine labelled "Burroughs and Wellcome". 100 grains of the "English" morphine cost $275. An ex-convict, W. Z., who had served about three years in prison on a black-market charge, was employed by X. Y. in running liquor from Baltimore into "dry" territory, and later in his narcotic transactions. About the middle of the year X. Y. was offered 200 bottles of "good stolen morphine" with 60 grains to the bottle at $2.50 a grain. He took four bottles, paying $600. In September 1947 he was offered the tubes of "morphine", which in this case had the Merck label and were claimed to have been stolen by a night watchman from Merck and Co. X. Y. bought 1,500 grains (according to the label) in tubes and paid $2,250 for the 300 tubes. He got suspicious of the genuineness because all the tubes had the same number. On 2 October 1947 he bought ? kilo of heroin for $2,550 and 500 grains of the tube morphine-"Merck"-at $1.50 a grain. On 1 November 1947 he bought 1,200 grains of the "phony morphine" as he was now calling it, at $1.40 a grain, a total of $1,680. With continued dealing, X. Y. got the price at which he bought down to $1.15 and finally down to 90 cents a grain (the value of real morphine tablets sold legally being only about 14 cents per grain). He got the price of heroin down to as "low" as $1,200 per ? kilo. He sold the phony morphine at up to $2.50 per grain. His principal customers were themselves dealers and peddlers; some were users of the drugs themselves and some were not. They paid around $300 to $500 at a time, or even more.
A few of the other transactions of X. Y. may be mentioned. June 1948, ? kilo of heroin bought for $1,800; 15 September 1949, ? kilo of heroin for $1,400; 22 October 1949, $1,200 paid for ? kilo of heroin and $900 for 1,000 grains of the phony morphine; 28 November 1949, 4 ounces of heroin and 1,000 grains of phony morphine for $1,700.
As a result of intensive work by the narcotic agents, and partly from information supplied by X. Y., a number of dealers in illicit narcotics in the Carolinas were arrested, tried, and convicted. Some sentences were: Henry Gainey, ten years; Paul Sadler, seven years; Willie Dudley, three years; Howard Overman, four years; Ned Welch, three and a half years; Nathan Cheek, five years; John Muse, eighteen months plus a two-year sentence suspended for five years probation;
M. G. Batson, two years; Fred Green, three years. One narcotic dealer was also a bootlegger and on conviction of bootlegging was sentenced to two years in prison and a $35,000 fine.
At Chicago, Michael Filishio and Frank Tovar were each sentenced to five years for a heroin case and counterfeiting.
The pills only began appearing on the Pacific Coast-to the knowledge of the narcotic agents, at least-in 1950. On 17 February 1950 there was a seizure in California of six bottles each containing 100 of the ? grain "morphine" tablets. In general, however, during 1950 these pills began to disappear from the traffic in illicit narcotics.
Most of the illicit narcotics of the United States are distributed from New York City, and these pills were no exception. One important source, Peter Locascio, was arrested in New York in possession of 5? pounds of heroin and 3,048 vials of "morphine", each containing 20 tablets and bearing counterfeit labels and stamps.
An attempt to order a plate from an engraver revealed a method of obtaining plates for the counterfeit tax stamps. The plate asked for was to read:
1? All States
Inter Revenue 1?
Evidently it was to be cut in two, the right half to be joined to another half-plate which would have on it,
Inter Revenue 1?
In fact some of the counterfeit stamps on morphine tubes showed printing from two plates joined together.
It is not possible to give anything approaching a full account of the cases arising out of the investigations of these morphine tablets. In fact many are still pending in the courts and it will be years before the story can be completed.
The special dangers of such pills in the illicit traffic are obvious. For example, a criminal pharmacist could stock them for sale to addicts, and still not appear to have anything but legal narcotic supplies if his store were given a superficial inspection or even raided by the police. In general in the United States this was not done; the sale of the pills was usually through completely illegal channels, and the labels were rather a fraud on the miserable addicts than an attempt to disguise the traffic with any semblance of legality. The backbone of this particular traffic in the United States has been broken. Narcotic authorities in other countries should be alert to see that it does not establish itself anywhere else.

Easter is fast approaching and a group of pensioners who are part of a coffee group called The Beehive have come together to knit chicks, all for the sake of charity.
It seems their name is appropriate, as the OAPs have been as busy as bees producing more than 400 fledglings for Christian organisation - the Boaz project, the Hampshire Chronicle reports.
The charity helps adults who have learning difficulties and teaches them skills such as cooking, gardening and craftwork.
Each of the pieces produced will have a chocolate egg inside and will be sold for £1 in a bid to raise money for the worthy cause. If the group manages to sell all of its work, it will have managed to raise a considerable amount.
Although it may be a bit late to embark on a project of this scale, there is still enough time to try your hand at knitting one or two chicks and giving them as presents for your young one or grandchild. After all, gifts are not traditionally given until Easter Sunday, which doesn't fall until April 20th this year.
If you are fairly new to this type of knitting, then the Crochet Chick designed by Lisa Richardson could be the perfect present for little ones. It makes use of beautiful yellow yarn by Baby Merino Silk SD.
Designed with double crochet, this bird should hopefully stand the test of time and may become a favourite fixture at future Easter celebrations.
It can be used as either an egg cosy or a small toy for young children. You may want to take inspiration from The Beehive as well and buy a small Easter egg to pop inside. After all, it's probably fair to say that most children associate this time of year with chocolate treats.
You could also consider hiding the chick in the garden and do an Easter egg hunt to keep little ones amused for a while.

Gadget titan Apple has hired online retailer Amazon.com's head of search to take charge of its troubled Siri voice software, but AllThingsD suggests it might hint at a broader search play.
According to the Wall Street Journal tech blog, sources have told AllThingsD that William Stasior will leave Amazon, where he headed up its A9 search and search advertising unit, to lead Siri development.
Stasior, who has a Ph.D. from the renowned Massachusetts Institute of Technology, has also put in time at software maker Oracle and web outfits Netcentives and AltaVista.
"While Siri has had a high-profile in the iPhones, Apple has lost some of the talent that created it. Adam Cheyer, who co-founded the voice recognition software company prior to its acquisition by Apple in 2008, left recently. And CEO Dag Kittlaus departed in October of 2011," AllThingsD's Kara Swisher writes.
"What's more intriguing is what else Stasior might find himself working on — presumably, strengthening Apple's search and search advertising technology in the wake of its increasing competition with Google."

I have a good friend back home who occasionally sends me spiritually-uplifting e-mails usually containing inspirational photos, PowerPoint presentations, touching poems, emotionally-moving stories, and the like. For the most part, I think they are nice but rarely am I as touched as I was when I read the one I received this morning titled "Enough."
I think I found this to be as emotionally poignant as I did because it's been almost six years since I've been home and I recently had occasion to communicate with family and friends I haven't seen or spoken to in years, in one case since elementary school. At any rate, I felt this was worth sharing with our readers as I'm sure there are a lot of other "old-timers" in China who also haven't been home in quite some time.
Recently, I overheard a mother and daughter in their last moments together at the airport. They had announced the departure. Standing near the security gate, they hugged, and the mother said, "I love you, and I pray you enough."
The daughter replied, "Mom, our life together has been more than enough. Your love is all I ever needed. I pray you enough, too, Mom."
They kissed and the daughter left. The mother walked over to the window where I was seated. Standing there, I could see she wanted and needed to cry. I tried not to intrude on her privacy, but she welcomed me in by asking, "Did you ever say good-bye to someone knowing it would be forever?"
"Yes, I have," I replied. "Forgive me for asking, but why is this a 'forever' good-bye?"
"Well…I'm not as young as I once was, she lives so far away and has her own busy life. I have some challenges ahead and the reality is… her next trip back will be for my funeral," she said.
"When you were saying good-bye, I heard you say, 'I pray you enough'. May I ask what that means?"
She began to smile. "That's from a prayer that has been handed down from other generations. My parents used to say it to everyone." She paused a moment and looked up as if trying to remember it in detail and she smiled even more. "When we said, 'I pray you enough,' we wanted the other person to have a life filled with just enough good things to sustain them."
Then, turning toward me, she shared the following as if she were reciting it from memory:
I pray you enough sun to keep your attitude bright no matter how gray the day may appear.
I pray you enough rain to appreciate the sun even more.
I pray you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive and everlasting.
I pray you enough pain so that even the smallest of joys in life may appear bigger.
I pray you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.
I pray you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess.
I pray you enough hellos to get you through the final good-bye.
Then, she began to cry and walked away.
They say, it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them, but an entire life to forget them.
Take time to live.
To all my friends and loved ones who may have occasion to read this…
I pray you enough.

Chris Matthews Accused of Sexism by Liberal Women's Advocate, Attacks Bachmann Fifth Day in a Row
The merciless attacks on Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) continued for the fifth day in a row on MSNBC's "Hardball" Monday.
These came despite a liberal women's rights advocate telling Fox New's Megyn Kelly hours earlier that Chris Matthews' treatment of the Congresswoman is sexist and "over the top" (video follows with transcripts and commentary):
MEGYN KELLY, HOST: Well, so much for toning down the rhetoric. Tea Party favorite Minnesota Congresswoman Michele Bachmann targeted and insulted again. Some are calling it now sexist name-calling. Take a listen to some yourself.
(Video clip of MSNBC's Chris Matthews calling Bachmann a balloon head)
KELLY: Well, Jehmu Green is the former president of the Women's Media Center, a former advisor to Hillary Clinton, and a Fox News contributor. Jehmu, thanks so much for being here.
JEHMU GREENE, FORMER PRESIDENT WOMEN'S MEDIA CENTER: Thanks for having me, Megyn.
KELLY: So, Chris Matthews has come under attack by a lot of folks on the Left for that comment and other comments he has made about Michele Bachmann, and the accusations are that his treatment of her is sexist, and so is the treatment of her we've seen by others in the media. And your thoughts on that?
GREENE: Well, one, it's not a surprise that this type of treatment is coming from Chris Matthews. I think if we were in high school, we would call it like it is -- he's a bully and his favorite target is women. It doesn't matter if Congresswoman Bachmann got all of the facts wrong. It doesn't matter if she looks off into the wrong camera. She, Sarah Palin, just like Hillary Clinton and Michelle Obama, should not come under the types of attacks that we see coming particularly from Chris Matthews and, you know, we even saw it with Keith Olbermann when he talked in the 2008 election about someone taking then Senator Clinton out back to handle her. Yeah, this type of language is, is so detrimental, not just to political discourse, but the fact that women are 50 percent less likely to run for office. That's the impact it has. Women don't want to put themselves out there to come under these types of attacks and it doesn't matter if it's coming from the Left or the Right, it's unacceptable.
KELLY: But is it a sexist attack or is it just, you know, an impolite attack? Because, you know, I've heard him and the other one, and they make attacks on men and women. It seems to be more on political partisan stripe than on gender.
GREENE: Actually, you know what? There are times that I have to walk away from my Twitter feed when it comes to Michele Bachmann or Sarah Palin. My peers, my colleagues, who I agree with on the issues, but the type of like really vitriolic attacks that we see addressed at women and, you know, even coming from many women on the Left. We see this because I guess there's an expectation that they would live up to a certain set of standards on issues. And, I think their attacks that these women are facing go over the top, especially with Chris Matthews. We saw when MSNBC decided that he needed to be demoted from the anchor chair for election coverage and that he was strictly going to be a political commentator. It's because he crosses the line.
For those unfamiliar with Greene, she is the former president of the Women's Media Center, a nonprofit women's advocacy group founded in 2005 by writers/activists Jane Fonda, Robin Morgan, and Gloria Steinem. Prior to that, she was an advisor to the Hillary Clinton for President campaign, as well as serving in various functions for the Democratic National Committee.
As such, this is hardly a friend to Republicans, and someone whose opinions the "Hardball" host should care about. Yet despite her accusations made at roughly 2:30 PM Eastern Time Monday, Matthews continued with his attacks on Bachmann hours later:
CHRIS MATTHEWS: When we return -- when I return -- "Let Me Finish" with a history lesson for Michele Bachmann.You're watching HARDBALL -- she could use one here, she ought to be lucky we still don't have literacy tests out there. You're watching HARDBALL, only on MSNBC.
So now Matthews is suggesting Bachmann couldn't pass a literacy test! After a commercial break, he continued with the attack:
MATTHEWS: "Let Me Finish" tonight by putting a cap on that story that was running by us last week. It concerns the evil of slavery.
Congresswoman Michele Bachmann who's making forays into presidential politics these days which will definitely add to the color of the competition told a group in Iowa recently that our country's Founders worked tirelessly until slavery was no more in the United States. I think it was high time she said that we recognize the contribution of our Founders who worked tirelessly who would not rest until slavery was extinguished in our country. Well, to those watching whose forebears know more of the true, sad story of this part of our history, let me confirm what your parents and grandparents told you, perhaps in trying to explain how attitudes about race crept into our American culture.
Did the Founding Fathers work tirelessly to end slavery? Did they not rest until slavery was extinguished in this country? We'll hear the facts. I have a high school history teacher, a close friend of mine to thank for leading me to these details.
George Washington owned more than 200 slaves, some say between 250 and 350.
Thomas Jefferson owned as many as 200, his wife having brought 100 to the marriage as her dowry.
James Madison, who drafted the Constitution, had over 100 slaves, had them all his life, didn't even free them in his will.
James Monroe had about 75 slaves.
Andrew Jackson, about 160. John Tyler, 70. James Polk, 50 to 25. Zachary Taylor, up to 150 slaves.
Other presidents through those years, Martin Van Buren, William Henry Harrison and Andrew Johnson also owned slaves. So, if you want to get your history from the congresswoman from Minnesota, that's, of course, an option. Or you can check it out yourself.
Readers are reminded that this is now the fifth day in a row the "Hardball" host has felt it necessary to address what Bachmann said nine days prior at a Tea Party meeting in Iowa. Talk about beating a dead horse.
Sadder still was how Matthews once again chose to ignore how our Founding Fathers from the Northern colonies - in particular John Adams and Benjamin Franklin - put a no slavery clause in the original Declaration of Independence that was struck down by Southern representatives to the First Continental Congress.
If they hadn't acceded to the South's demands, the Declaration would never have happened.
And, as Bachmann alluded to, John Quincy Adams worked to abolish slavery right up until his death just fifteen years prior to the Emancipation Proclamation.
As such, no matter what Matthews says, there were INDEED Founding Fathers that worked tirelessly concerning this issue just as Bachmann claimed.
Yet Matthews continues his attacks on the Congresswoman.
Will anyone at MSNBC step in and put a stop to this, or are these kinds of sexist, vitriolic attacks acceptable at this cable network as long as they're directed at a conservative?

Comments about Hotpoint 30" Electric Coil Range:
Good product, miss the cooking time feature, but am certain we will be able to survive without it. Cooks more rapidly than stove replacek
Comments about Hotpoint 30" Electric Coil Range:
Cooks great and affords easy clean up it just lacks modern day technologies. ( digital display)
Comments about Hotpoint 30" Electric Coil Range:
I was very happy with this purchase. Very clean sharp look and was very easy to install.
Comments about Hotpoint 30" Electric Coil Range:
Bought the range expecting a bottom drawer that it does not have. Otherwise it works OK but seems a bit pricey for a 24 inch range compared to wider models and prices.
Comments about Hotpoint 30" Electric Coil Range:
We purchased a small appliance due to the size of our kitchen. I am pleased with the overall performance of the stove. I can't help but wish that it had a stove light and glass door. I am a tall woman, I feel that the stove is a little short. Just because it is small doesn't mean it has to be on the short side. Does it? Personally I don't care for where the knobs are but are getting used to it. I would have preferred them to be up top. I find myself turning them on when I bump into the stove or while wiping it down. I realize that there was one more option in the small stove that would have given me the bells and whistles so to speak. But it was quite a bit more expensive.
Comments about Hotpoint 30" Electric Coil Range:
Really, extremely not happy that this did not come in the basic white which force me to go black/stainless all the way around. One rack inside was oversized and scraped the sides going in and out. Ordered one through the warrantee dept. but still a pain on top of the did I say extremely unhappy about not having the white. Lastly, not having the drawer underneath for broiler pans was the epitome of being cheap and cutting corners. Did I mention about being really dissatisfied with GE about your not having white for the model. I assume this review will not get to the top management and will no change will be made but there is an element of getting it off my chest. Does not change the fact that I will be looking at a kitchen that I am not really satisfied with for the life of these appliances. I could have gone with another brand but stuck to the GE name to my regret. Thanks for the opportunity to share my grief. Fyi the refrigerator that I bought has continual condensation around the seal of the freezer dripping down to the lower portion.

Comments about Hotpoint 30" Electric Coil Range:
Pros: Heats up fast and easy nobs. Cons: It was 1 mm bigger than my 24 inch spot, so I had to have my brother saw off parts of the cabinets to make it fit. The bottom does not have a drawer and I wish it would because my old range by Premier had a nice bottom drawer. I also wish there was a temperature screen on the dashboard. But compared to my other oven, at least this broiler is working :)

I hope I am been to naive and trusting. At the same time, I have detailed records so at the end of the day..the truth will be revealed. Just thinking also, guys like you Asaseabean keep me encouraged, so....thank you.
I have a radical idea. Why don't you buy/lease a 2010/2011 F01 from the dealership and sell your F01 to them? You'll probably be making the same payment on the new ride as you are making on the existing ride that you're not enjoying.
If the dealership refuse to buy your F01 because they're aware of the severe vibration/shimmy problem...try another dealership. Buy a new F01 from them so they can buy your F01 and let them deal with the vibration/shimmy problem or they can sell it to someone else who maynot care about the vibration/shimmy problem.
What d'ya think?

Best Of :: Food & Drink
The traditional Spanish regional cuisine at Cafe Seville is cooked to order, which means you may have to sit awhile in the quaint dining room, sipping one of the restaurant's excellent wines, perhaps snacking on tapas or a cold platter of Spanish Serrano ham, manchego cheese, chorizo, and stuffed olives. Soon enough, your patience will be rewarded with mouth-watering dishes like a bright rendition of Andalusia's renowned gazpacho; roasted leg of lamb, leg of pork, and rabbit with rosemary; corvina swimming in a sauce sharked with garlic, parsley, cilantro, lemon juice, and white wine; a bold cazuela de mariscos, duck, veal, chicken, or steaks. Then there's a paella so well-stocked with shellfish, chicken, and pork that it's not quite right to call it a rice dish. The robust cuisine, crisp service, and charming Old World ambiance suggest an extravagant bill, but Seville's prices are moderate, with just about every entrée under $20.
Top Ten Reasons Why Primavera Is Better Than the Italian Restaurant You Go To:
10. You can't fool all of the people all of the time -- Primavera's been around since 1985.
9. Wait staff isn't snobby, nor is it informal to the point of saying things like "Fuhgeddaboudit!"
8. Roasted pepper antipasto comes spiked with curry.
7. Do the owners of your favorite place have cool names like Primavera's husband-wife team of Giacomo and Melody?
6. Innovative culinary combinations like zucchini-crusted rack of lamb with Marsala date sauce; grilled salmon with pink grapefruit and merlot; pasta with fagioli.
5. Romantic ambiance can lead to amorous payoff that makes pricey bill seem a bargain.
4. Extensive wine list reasonably priced.
3. Two words: homemade pasta.
2. Frank Sinatra once ate here.
1. Because we say so, and we're experts.
It's no secret that Louie Louie's pizzas win awards all over the place. Wouldn't it be clever to be come up with someplace new? But that would be like dumping your life partner because you lost ten pounds. The secret of the success of these pies, which don't even headline the menu of this Las Olas classic (now also located across Las Olas and on Delray's Atlantic Avenue), is the way the kitchen makes so much go such a long way. Served piping hot, the homemade mozzarella and tomato sauce blend with the extra virgin olive oil on the delicate margheritas and heartier Neapolitans so authentically that you feel like you'll get smacked in the back of the head if you talk with your mouth full. Not that this is our local version of dinner at the Goombahs. The vegetarian toppings and healthy pies and the grilled rosemary chicken pizzas take the selections into new territory with great style -- much like Garbo tackling laughter in Ninotchka. Perfection on a platter.
The Olive Garden doesn't serve tripe. That's OK, but it also doesn't offer fresh pork or beef braciole, chicken scarparielo with homemade sausage and mushrooms in lemon sauce, pignoli-crusted snapper over spinach, and more than 40 types of pasta dishes -- and that's not OK, which is one reason why those seeking moderately priced, robust Southern Italian food are far better off at Zuccarelli's. Another reason is that the meatballs aren't made en masse but rather in the caring hands of the Zuccarelli family -- papa Ralph, mama Frances, and daughter Olimpia -- and Chef Buddy Kratz. They also make the sausages, mozzarella cheese, pastas, breads, and desserts and have been doing so for 23 years, much to the gratitude of a fiercely loyal clientele -- most of whom the staff here knows by name. This rustically attractive restaurant puts out some outrageously delicious pizzas too, and there's hardly an item on the absurdly extensive menu that costs more than $20.
As you eat your way through this maniacal world, exposing the recesses of your mind, you might condemn the budded tongue as a forgetful little muscle. Not so. It is a passionate appendage that betrays our animal lust for the simple things in life, and once it's introduced to the unfathomably delicious slice ($1.75) at Times Square Pizza, your heretofore complicated life will revolve around the corner of Oakland Park Boulevard and Federal Highway. Gold-chained, strong, silent types slave at the ovens in this 8-year-old New York-style eatery, then deliver your slice right to your table. No frills. No chatter. Just slice. What's their secret? Is it the perfectly heated ovens or the high-quality Grande mozzarella cheese? Don't pluck the mystery; just obey the buds. Oh, by the way: It's a sweet spot to hit on your way home from the beach.
More than 300,000 South Floridians describe their primary ancestry as non-Hispanic Caribbean or West Indian. That's a good thing, because it means there are plenty of places to get really good West Indian food. Heck, you could throw a rock almost anywhere within Broward and Palm Beach counties and it would probably fly through the window of a Caribbean restaurant. Well, wind up, Dontrelle, and cast your stone toward Caribbean Choice Restaurant and Bakery in West Palm Beach. Owner Don Smith brings his island flavor from Jamaica via the Bronx and serves up Caribbean favorites such as beef patties, jerked chicken and pork, and roti. And if you're in the mood for fish, escovitched snapper and steamed kingfish are on the menu as well. Add pigeon peas and rice and you've got good times. Whether dining in for a quick sitdown meal or eating on the run, every wanga gut (big eater) this side of Kingston can get his or her fill.

m0n0 logs the last x events into it's memory all the time. It always
saves those past x ones and you can see it in the system logs page.
As for having it log to syslog, it just sends a copy of the message
via UDP to the syslog server. Since it is a UDP datagram, m0n0wall
doesn't care nor does it make any attempt to figure out whether the
receiving host is alive or not. If the receiving host is up, good.
If it's not, the packet just gets dropped somewhere.

Committee Reports:
Advocacy: Will meet following the board meeting
SCLS Foundation Report: L. Davis-Brown noted Phyllis and Bob have scheduled meetings with Black Earth, Cambridge, Pardeeville, Reedsburg, and Rock Springs library boards to discuss endowments with the Foundation. The Adams County Library has contributed $3,500 toward the Foundation. A private party has promised $10,000 toward the literacy fund and the Foundation Board will be meeting with M&I to discuss the funds performance.
Circulation and ILL Statistics: No report.
System Director's Report:
Phyllis noted she attended a meeting with to discuss the formula for sharing delivery costs among the public library systems in Wisconsin. Everyone agreed the formula is imperfect, but perhaps is the best we can do. The committee will recommend no changes be made to the formula for the next three years.
The delivery staff placed a bid and received a contract for an additional service for the UW, which includes moving items to be digitized from libraries to another loading location and back.
The Governor's budget proposal includes an increase in system funding of 4% the first year and 4% the second year of the biennium, for an increase of slightly over 8% for 2008-2009. This should keep us about even, at about 8% as opposed to the 13% of local effort that should be given according to past agreements. The governor's budget did not include funding for statewide delivery.
Increased funds were included for statewide resource sharing contracts, but, unfortunately, DLTCL has cut off access to the contracts for systems that moved to using OCLC for interlibrary loan. This was clearly not the intent of the legislature so we are working with other systems to ask that this matter be put on the agenda for the May COLAND meeting.
System Celebration has been scheduled for Thursday, September 20, 2007 at Sweet Sophie's in Waunakee. The nomination forms are online.
Stef noted the Library Electronic Resources Support Specialist interviews are scheduled to take place April 16 and 17. Four candidates have been selected to be interviewed.
The LSTA grants funds have finally been released, so we can begin working on projects. There are a number of projects in the technology block grants, literacy, and OverDrive Grants.
A meeting was held with MPL and other LINK members to review the LINK cataloging contract. The contract will be simplified, but the funding formula and basic components of the contract will remain the same. SCLS will be working with MPL to bring in a consultant to look as the workflow in the technical services area.
The annual meeting will be held May 11th at Devil's Lake. The day will be focused around discussion of topics member libraries suggest on a survey that will be distributed.
OverDrive, the service we use for downloadable audio books, now includes video. The new video service was launched last week with a collection of 162 titles, many being youth and instructional titles.
Jean Anderson and Shawn Brommer met with folks from Wisconsin Public Television to discuss public programming, which is an area that our member libraries wanted more help with. WPT is interested in encouraging discussion and programs based on their TV programs. A CE program on this topic is in the works and will be a topic at the WLA conference this fall.
We may be involved with a pilot project with OCLC that would allow patrons to access more of our resources through the WorldCat interface.
A "library value calculator" has been made available to patrons, which will allow them to calculate the retail worth of items they borrow or use from the library and encourage them to submit this information. A new online form is also available for patrons to register for the "Speak Up for Your Library" campaign.
The administration staff had an opportunity to view a PBS documentary, "People Like Us," which focused on class in America. It was a great opportunity for the staff to learn more about the topic, share personal experiences, and consider how we approach things in our services to libraries and individuals.
Report on Act 420 – Cheryl Becker: Because Cheryl was not available to report on this topic (she fell and broke her wrist), it will be placed on the April agenda.
Information Sharing: Phyllis recently spoke to Kristi Williams who traveled to New Zealand and visited the library where Jay Robinson, the former director of Poynette, is now employed. Kristi also wanted the board to know she misses everyone!!
