Born and raised in a city renowned for its love of food and wine, Stephanie Dutton discovered her passion for fine wine, whilst working in some of Melbourne's signature restaurants.
In particular, it was whilst opening a bottle of Barolo that Stephanie began to consider a career in wine and after completing a Bachelor of Science degree at the University of Melbourne, she relocated to Adelaide to embark on a Masters of Oenology.
Whilst completing her studies, Stephanie first joined Penfolds in 2007, working at Magill Estate Restaurant and the Penfolds cellar door. In the same year, Stephanie had the unique opportunity to attend the extensive tasting for The Rewards of Patience – the ultimate Penfolds form guide. It was here that she experienced a complete vertical tasting of Grange, a highlight that further fuelled her fascination for the history and depth of fine wine.
In 2010, Stephanie joined the Penfolds red winemaking team, based at the Nuriootpa Winery in the Barossa Valley and is now responsible for crafting Penfolds Koonunga Hill wines. Embracing the cyclical nature of winemaking, Stephanie looks forward to the opportunities and challenges that each vintage brings, noting advice given to her by former red winemaker, John Bird that 'no two vintages are the same' and that is what keeps the fascination for winemaking alive.
Alongside her fellow winemakers, Stephanie enjoys the opportunity to help guide Penfolds signature expressions through the winemaking process and relishes the prospect that the wines she helps craft are now being opened and enjoyed at restaurants and cellars the world over.
In the winery's 170th year, Penfolds is proud to release the 2014 Bin Series. Featuring 12 expressions, the Bin Series displays the benefits of the multi-regional blending and stylised winemaking philosophy, which Penfolds has upheld since 1844.
Even very young wines benefit from decanting as the oxygen contact 'opens' the wine up allowing it to show at its best. For bottles sealed under cork, there are many kinds of openers to choose from. However, a simple 'waiters' friend' corkscrew will do the job most of the time on younger wines.

When not keeping scheming ensign Frank Thurlowe Pulver out of trouble, Lieutenant Doug Roberts attempts to mediate between the crew of the USS Reluctant and their captain, who resolutely refuses to engage in wartime action. But only the ship's doctor appreciates the pressure he's under.
Henry Fonda spent seven years as Mister Roberts. In all, he gave over 1000 performances on Broadway and some 600 more on tour. However, he was 50 by the time Warner Bros. came to adapt Thomas Heggen and Joshua Logan's play (making him 20 years too old for the role) and concerns were expressed that the camera would expose the years that could be disguised on stage. William Holden refused the part, insisting that it belonged to Fonda. But Marlon Brando had no such scruples and accepted, only for John Ford to threaten to quit unless Fonda was cast.
Unfortunately, this act of magnanimity was to backfire on both men, as Warners demanded a broadening of the humour and Ford and Fonda soon fell out over this roughhouse approach. Moreover, Fonda resented Ford's attempts to rework his interpretation of a role that had become second nature and, refusing to recognise the different demands of stage and screen, he confronted the director and was socked on the jaw for his trouble. Although Ford apologised, the rift with his favoured Man of Principle never healed and it was, perhaps, a mercy that the regretful drinking bout which poisoned the on-set atmosphere induced a gallbladder rupture that caused `Pappy' to be replaced by Mervyn Le Roy, who consented to a shared credit, but refused to acknowledge the fact that Joshua Logan was brought in to reshoot a couple of crucial sequences.
Much had changed in Hollywood since Fonda had last starred in a movie. Consequently, his performance retained a stubborn theatricality, which occasionally sat uncomfortably alongside James Cagney and William Powell's old school restraint and Jack Lemmon's new kid bravura. Roberts's courage, decency and integrity remained affecting. But Fonda's familiarity with the character deprived Roberts of life and he was overlooked completely by the Academy, while Lemmon won Best Supporting Actor. It was the final frustration in a dream project that had turned into something of a nightmare.
Still an expert mix of sentiment, comedy, patriotism and anarchy

Oerbier means original, from the spring. This beer has been brewed in small scale (5 gallons). Oerbier is brewed from no less than 6 malts. Poperinge Golding hops in flowers and a special yeast which makes it a little tart, especially with aging. At the brewery we have excellent cellars which have a constant temperature of 8°C and allow Oerbier to age at its best. After a couple of years Oerbier tastes like it should have been blended with wine … Oerbier has been refermented in the bottle and contains a layer of yeast, having vitamins B. NAT en STRAF on the glasses means WET and STRONG, a warning for the 7.5 vol. alcohol content. The little person on the glasses is the Oerbier man, a simple creature who holds a brewers fork in his right hand, symbolizing the work and science, but looking to the other side, the result of all this, the glass of (Oer)beer. The artwork on the poster is a wallpainting found in Spain, (Altamira) and is considered by art lovers as being the best prehistoric art work (30,000 years BC). On the other hand we have Oerbier started in 1980, going on with the tradition. For more information on Oerbier's recent recipe history, see the following article: http://www.bunitedint.com/Products/de_dolle/oerbier-re_evolution.html

Amid protests and a worsening ownership situation, Liverpool fell further behind in the league standings on Monday, drawing 2-2 at home to Aston Villa. The fifth-place Reds needed a late equalizer from Peter Crouch to salvage a point; Liverpool has now drawn its last four games and sits 14 points behind leaders Manchester United and Arsenal.
Meanwhile, reports in England claim that
time is running out for Tom Hicks and George Gillett, the club's American owners, to secure a refinancing plan for the massive $700 million debt the pair incurred after taking the reins at Anfield
last February. Should the deal collapse -- and we will know by the end of the week -- the Americans could be forced to sell out to Dubai International Capital, an Arab investment firm.
the match, Liverpool supporters protested the American owners and voiced their support for Manager Rafael Benitez. Afterwards, a visibly frustrated Steven Gerrard suggested the off-field turmoil has
been affecting the players' performance. "It is not just this week, it has been going on for some time and it is certainly not helping the players," Gerrard told Setanta Sports.

Today Electric Rain, Inc.® announced the release of Swift 3D MAX Version 2.0, the next generation plug-in allowing Discreet 3ds max™ and Autodesk® Viz™ users to render scenes to the SWF file format as both vector and raster output. Swift 3D MAX enables 3D content developers working with 3ds max to create Web-optimized output in the SWF file format, as well as AI, EPS, SVG and Toon Boom's PNT format.
"Discreet 3ds max is the premier 3D modeling and animation software application of choice for 3D artists in large part because of its versatile and open technology that supports a vast selection of internal and third-party applications," said Dan Prochazka, 3ds max Product Manager at Discreet. "Swift 3D MAX 2.0 further extends the power of 3ds max—allowing designers to more effectively harness the Web as an accessible medium for 3D design."
New Vector Rendering Capabilities
Swift 3D MAX 2.0 features the industry-leading RAViX III rendering engine with features including:
Patent-Pending SmartLayer™ Technology

WORCESTER City are out to end a run of three consecutive home defeats tomorrow when they take on Workington at St George's Lane (3pm).
Carl Heeley's team made a fine start to the season at headquarters, winning five and drawing one of their opening six league and cup fixtures.
In recent weeks that form has taken a dip with Stalybridge Celtic and Brackley Town both winning at the Lane in Blue Square Bet North and Altrincham triumphing in the FA Trophy last Saturday.
But City are still in fourth position, having won at Boston United and Hinckley United during the same period, and can keep themselves in the play-off picture by returning to winning ways tomorrow.
Heeley is not expecting a walk in the park against the 10th-placed Reds but knows a victory would boost his side heading into a tough run of fixtures against fellow promotion hopefuls.
The Worcester manager said: "I have always been impressed by Workington, they are a good side and tough opponents.
"We have found it tough against them since we have come back into Conference North and I don't foresee that being any different tomorrow."
He added: "At the moment we are not playing catch-up, we are in the mix and have to keep the points tally ticking over.
"We have got some tough fixtures coming up and that starts with Workington tomorrow."
Workington, who have triumphed on their last two visits to the Lane, also come into the match having lost in the FA Trophy.
Darren Edmondson's team were beaten 2-1 at lower-ranked Ossett Town last Saturday but, prior to that, had gone four unbeaten in Blue Square Bet North, including a 2-1 win at Altrincham.
City will be forced into at least one change at the weekend, with Danny Edwards expected to come in for the suspended Ellis Deeney at left-back.
The former Aston Villa youth captain has picked up five yellow cards this season and, with Shabir Khan on international duty with Pakistan in Singapore, Edwards is the only naturally left-sided player available to fill the void.
There are also doubts over Michael Taylor after the striker tweaked his hamstring during training earlier this week.
In addition, Heeley warned after the Altrincham defeat further changes could be on the cards and players should not be surprised if they were dropped.
Former Barrow midfielder Robin Hulbert is continuing to train with City but no deal has yet been agreed.

David Pearce realizes we must do everything within our power as a state to STOP illegal immigration. That is why he supported and helped pass one of the nation's most sweeping illegal immigration reform laws. Because of David's leadership; hard working Missourian's jobs will be protected, tax dollars will no longer be spent on illegal aliens; law enforcement has been given the tools to actually enforce our laws when dealing with illegal aliens; strict penalties will be imposed on businesses who knowingly hire illegal aliens; and so called "sanctuary cities" will be prohibited in the state of Missouri

It was meant to set a new benchmark for Melbourne's property market. Instead, Toorak's most expensive home is still on the market a year after listing, the $30 million price tag and lack of consumer confidence keeping buyers at bay.
The property, at 1 Towers Road, is listed with Kay & Burton, which has a proven record of selling some of Melbourne's best homes. While there has been interest in the property, owned by former JPMorgan Australia chairman Brian Watson, the talks have not translated to a sale.
Melbourne's top-end market has been flat this year, with few deals in the $5 million-plus bracket. But top-end homes are starting to trickle onto the market in the blue-ribbon suburbs.
The British consul-general's home, set on more than 2000 square metres in Irving Road, Toorak, has been listed with CBRE and marketing is expected to begin in coming weeks.
SEEK chairman Bob Watson is selling his waterfront property in Brighton through Marshall White and hopes to fetch more than $8 million at auction on November 1.
Mario Schwarz, owner of Mezai furniture, is selling his Canterbury home on 2800 sq m. Kay & Burton has the listing by expressions of interest and expects offers above $8 million. Kay & Burton also recently listed 19 Linlithgow Road in Toorak which is expected to sell for about $8 million.
Andrew Harlock of Abercrombys said while there was no flood of new stock coming onto the market, there were plenty of buyers holding out for the right property. Abercrombys recently had two off-market sales in Malvern and Toorak for $4.25 million and $5 million.
Mr Harlock recently listed "Talana", a six-bedroom Hawthorn East property, for $10.5 million.
By architect John Beswicke, who designed Hawthorn Town Hall, it is on 4122 sq m and dates from circa 1900. It is considered Melbourne's most elaborate Federation Queen Anne home.

SkyTrain workers ratify three-year contract
Unionized SkyTrain workers have ratified a new contract with the B.C. Rapid Transit Company, a TransLink subsidiary.
The three-year deal includes wage hikes of two percent in each of the first two years and 1.75 percent in the third year.
According to a CUPE news release, Local 7000 members voted 72 percent in favour of the contract.
"The contract also includes improvements to maternity benefits and the employees' extended health plan. Employer-proposed changes to retirement benefits and the employee sick plan were dropped," the release states.
The two sides had reached a tentative deal in nonbinding mediation at the B.C. Labour Relations Board, after talks broke off and workers voted to strike.
CUPE Local 7000 represents 537 SkyTrain operators, attendants, trades and maintenance workers, office staff, and dispatchers who work on the Expo and Millennium SkyTrain lines.

The Transition to Marriage
Legal Aspects of Marriage
Not only is marriage a set of intimate and personal promises, it is a legal entity. The state has a stake in marriage and family. The selection of one's mate, the rearing of one's children, the protection of and distribution of personal property, and the decision to end a marriage are NOT strictly personal issues.
Legal Requirements Once Married:
The Meaning of Marriage - To legitimize children is key function.
Marriage makes institutional provisions for a preferred method of producing and nurturing children. NOTE: Legitimating sexual activity and living together is a Latent function of marriage.
Marriage as a Permanent Commitment
Marriage has always been viewed as long term, more or less permanent.
At the turn of the century, when the divorce rate was very low, individuals usually married later in life, when the financial means to fund a family was established. People were older and more established. Now, as we marry earlier each decade, individuals are increasingly less prepared for marriage - both emotionally and financially.
Marriage as a sacrament - God's Holy Ordinance" Sacrament - Civil - Personal.
Stages of Marriage
III. Styles of Marriage - refers to the way marriage partners perceive and treat each other.
Thinking in terms of Scripts:
A less simplistic view comes from Cuber & Haroff's study of 400 couples, who had been married at least 10 years. They were attempting to identify "types" of marital styles that have developed in American Culture:
Conflict-Habituated marriages are characterized by constant disagreement and quarreling. Such couples thrive on conflict and verbal skirmishes. The Stimulation provided by fighting holds the marriage together. Few Marriages were found to be of this type.
Devitalized marriages - by far the largest part of the sample and most common type of marriage after 10 years. The once close and loving relationship has drifted into an emotional divorce and empty marriage. The couple is indifferent to each other, but manage to stay together. Few disagreements due to few actual conversations. Many may feel that it is natural for marriages to become dull. Others feel that the relationship is better than none at all, while still others feel a need to remain married to fulfill some social or personal responsibility. It is possible that these folks are just in a mid-life slump.
Passive-Congeneal marriages may have been dull from the start. There is no sense of loss of an exciting and satisfying relationship because there never was the feeling of possession of one. These are marriages of convenience, the couple remaining together because of inertia.
Vital Marriages are the ideal type of warm, loving relationships where the partners are interested in each other and committed to each other and the marriage. There is room for autonomy and personal growth for each partner, as well as a fair amount of consideration of the other person in making personal decisions. Conflicts are rare and low key when present. Such a couple has common goals and are willing to work to maintain a high sense of the partnership.
Total marriages are MORE vital than vital ones. These people cannot think of anything but the other person. They may work together, as in a family business, and are more integrated.
It is quite possible that marriages move back and forth between these "types" - especially since the study in which the types were discovered only looked at marriage from one point of time for each couple. It is also quite possible that the marriage partners may have different conceptions of the relationship.
Marital Happiness and Enrichment
Most people marry with the hope and expectation of being happy - more or less - forever.
Is eternal marital bliss possible?
There are some clues to the secret of marital happiness over the lifecourse
Terms such as marital happiness, marital satisfaction, and marital adjustment are used interchangeably. Most couples find that marital satisfaction tends to sag a little during the period from the birth of the first child to the launching of the last one. Measurement of marital happiness and satisfaction section is skipped here, except to note that there are problems here. One must be very cautious in interpreting findings from this research.
The Importance of communication cannot be overemphasized.
Metacommunication refers to the style in which partners communicate.
Certain elements of the Style of Communication between partners affords a higher level of satisfaction.
Marriage Enrichment is a Program (there are several) usually brought to the public through churches or other public institutions. Marriage Enrichment is primarily for untroubled, relatively happy couples who want to increase the net satisfaction they experience from their marriage. Communication exercises are performed, eye gazing, and awareness heightening factoids are presented. M.E. provides a preventative and growth producing function to already well-functioned marriages.
Alternative Marriage Patterns
A Note About Normality: The only way to talk about "normal" behavior or "normal" activities that makes sense is to refer to Statistical Normality - What "most" people" do, What Most think.
Of course it is possible to think of moral and ethical belief systems that guide our behavior and thinking; however, these are very private and very personal and do not necessarily include anyone but ourselves. In the sense of statistics - most people - 96% - find themselves in a long term, heterosexual, one man, one woman relationship.
There have always been-since the time we have been taking notice- Those in our society who find ALTERNATIVE LIFESTYLES more appealing than the normal way of living.
There have always been those who choose homosexual relationships, group or communal relationships, or some other approach. Recently, given the global transition we seem to be going through, such "fringe" relationships seem to get more print space, or headlines, than in the past. So they seem more prevalent. They are probably more accepted today, just as cohabitating couples are more accepted than in the past.
So the first "alternative" to heterosexual marriage is the one we have already discussed - Cohabitation.
Open Marriages - the O'Neills wrote a book in 1972 - based on their experiences living an open marriage. By this they meant that their personal relationship could be treasured and special even though they shared their lives with others - married or not. In their view, one person could be better able to meet the other's emotional, social, economic, and sexual needs if they were free to explore these same aspects of life with others. Quickly, Open Marriage came to be known as a "sexually open one".
The O'Neills divorced in 1975 - and wrote book about the failure of the open marriage concept in their case.
Gay Marriage - Among homosexual males and females, long term relationships lately have become just as stable and committed as heterosexual ones. That is - gays are just a little more likely to have relationships that fail as are the "normal" crowd of heterosexual marrieds.
There was a time prior to the Eighties - that male homosexuals appeared to be quite promiscuous, with sex partners running into double digits. However, it is a statistical fact that today - homosexuals who are interested in long term relationships are just as likely to make such a relationship as are heterosexuals with the same interests.
Just as likely - promiscuous heterosexuals are just as likely as homosexuals who are promiscuous to fail at relationships over time.
Communal Marriages - another alternative form is the commune. Communal living arrangements come in a variety of forms. There are no organized group marriages in the U.S. - where the male group "marries" the female group. Almost all communes are heterosexual in nature and monogamous.
In the 1960's and 70's some "family groups" were formed - such as the Merry Pranksters and the Family Dog in San Francisco. These arrangements lasted only a few years and were organized around the drugs and psychedelic music subculture.
Today most communes share in the joined labor and economic efforts of the members. Childcare is shared, each person works outside the group and contributes paychecks to the "family income". Many of these groups have a religious orientation as well, ranging from fundamentalist Christians to Bhuddist and Hindu oriented faiths. There are group sings and prayer sessions as well.
Acitelli, A.K., Douvan, E., Veroff, J. (1993). Perceptions of Conflict in the first year of marriage. Journal of Social and Personal Relationships, 10, 5-19. Perceived similarity between spouses is greater than actual similarity of responses. Perceptual congruence contributed more to the marital well-being for wives than for husbands. Destructive behaviors were found more accurately perceived than were constructive ones.
Kurdek, L.A. 91991). Predictors of incrases in marital distress in newlywed couples: A 3 year prospective longitudinal study. Developmental Psychology, 27, 627-636. Husbands who showed an increase in marital distress over 3 years had less education, lived with their future spose prior to marriage, and did not pool their finances during the first year. For wives, increases in marital distress were realted to less education, lower income, having stepchildren, anticipating rewards and few costs, failure to pool financies, and high emotional investment.
Lye, D., & Biblarz, T. (1993). The effects of attitudes toward family life and gender roles on marital satisfaction. J. Family Issues, 14(2), 157-188. Husbands who endorse an egalitarian division of household labor report higher levels of marital satisfaction than do those who reject egalitarianism. Wives who favor an egalitarian division of housework report lower satisfaction than do traditionally oriented wives. When men are less traditional than their wives, disagreements are reduced. When wives are less traditional than their husbands, disagreements are increased.
Orbuch, T.L., Veroff, J., & Holmberg, D. (1993). Becoming a married couple: The emergence of meaning in the first years of marriage. JMF, (Nov), 815-826. Most courtship stories are collaborative in nature, lack conflict, and somewhat dramatic. Husbands are presented as initiating courtship 47% of the time. The marriage proposal is commonly presented as a combined endeavor.
Wallerstein, J.S. (1994). The early psychological tasks of marriage. J. Orthopsychiatry, 64, 640- 650. Women find the task of successfully leaving the family of origin and set up a new family the most difficult. Other tasks found to be important: -ability to refer to marriage as a'we-ness', establishment of sexual life, establishment of a zone of safety and nurturance, making psychological room for children while safeguarding the privacy of the couple, building a fun and interesting relationship, maintaining a vision of the other that combines idealizations with reality.

The school community acknowledges and embraces all experiences, beliefs, and ways of knowing mathematics.
All students have access to and engage in challenging, rigorous, and meaningful mathematical experiences.
Such practices empower all students to build a relationship with mathematics that is positive and grounded in their own cultural roots and history.
If I'm remembering correctly, when we were discussing mathematically-gifted but language-impaired kids, you told me that the curriculum allows strategies to be demonstrated in words, numbers, OR, pictures. Is that right? I'm now wondering about problems that use the word "explain", as in "explain [how you got] your answer" rather than "show" ("show how you got your answer"). Is it still the case that the child could answer in numbers (e.g. a series of number sentences) or pictures (e.g. a geometric representation of fractions?)? I'd like to get a better handle on just how well the curriculum accommodates, in particular, the mathematically-gifted but language impaired children that comprise so many of the children on the autistic spectrum, who often literally see the answer, pictographically or numerically, with no accompanying words in their heads.
I don't have a simple answer to your question, as it depends somewhat on the problem, concept, grade level & teacher. Most problems do ask the students to show how they got an answer using pictures, numbers, and/or words. There is no set rule as to what is meant by "explain" but the idea would be that someone else should be able to look at the work and know exactly what the student did--often a combination of pictures, numbers and words is necessary to communicate clearly in mathematics. As far as the curriculum is concerned, a central goal is for students to learn to express mathematical thinking through drawing, writing and talking. A teacher would therefore work to develop students' skills in all three areas. Also keep in mind that instruction is also driven by state tests, and on the PSSA students need to explain their thinking in writing on some of the open-ended questions. Therefore teachers need to have students practice this skill throughout the year...
Well no, the idea is not just for the teacher to know exactly what the student did, but rather for the student to learn to communicate his or her thinking in a clear way. So "mental math" would not be an adequate explanation. I would certainly think the child would be marked off on the PSSA for that response, given the guidelines that are put out (unless there is some special accommodation in place.) Communication has been a goal of reform mathematics programs since the publication of the standards in 1989.
So if a child doesn't know what his/her thinking was in solving the problem (because it was all subconscious and/or nonverbal thinking), how could this child possibly explain his/her thinking in words? Except to say "I solved it pictographically with the following pictures in my head..." or "it just came to me."
The only alternative I can think of is that such a child would have to imagine how a more verbal person would have solved the problem, and then explain how this hypothetical person would have solved it.
I can certainly appreciate the fact that it would be much more of a challenge for a mathematically gifted but language impaired child, but your question is beyond the realm of my expertise. Perhaps your research will shed some light in this area? I hope I have answered your question about the goals of the curriculum.
Yes, you have.
Unfortunately, these goals, with their narrow notion of what math is about, shortchange the mathematically gifted (ALL those who see the answers nonverbally, including many mathematicians I know). This is, as you know, one big problem I have with the curriculum.
It is too bad that those who have chosen these goals and this curriculum don't seem to know much (or care much?) about how nonverbal children and mathematically inclined curriculum solve math problems.

Kate Hudson Names Late Heath Ledger As Favorite On-Screen Kiss
Stepping out to promote her new film "Wish I Was Here," Kate Hudson dropped by "Watch What Happens Live" along with costar/writer/director Zach Braff last night (July 30).
The "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days" dame was happy to answer questions from viewers, and one watcher phoned in to ask, "Who's been your best kisser from all your movie stars, or your costars? Excluding Zach, cause I'm sure Zach is a good kisser."
A clearly relieved Zach chimed in, "Thank you, darling! Thank you for saying, 'present company excluded.'"
Then Kate gave her thoughtful answer- "I would say my favorite one was ['The Four Feathers costar] Heath [Ledger]. That was pretty excellent. He was just so beautiful and sweet and gentle. I would say that, I look back at all of the… and that was really… he was lovely. That's a tough one to answer. An amazing [memory]."

Abstract:This paper embodies the authors' suggestive, hypothetical and sometimes speculative attempts to answer questions related to the interplay between consciousness and AI. We explore the theoretical foundations of consciousness in AI systems. We provide examples that demonstrate the potential utility of incorporating functional consciousness in cognitive AI systems. We also explore the possible contributions to the scientific study of consciousness from insights obtained by building and experimenting with conscious AI systems. Finally, we evaluate the possibility of phenomenally conscious machines.

NBC Broadcasts Second Annual American Giving Awards, 12/8
NBC will broadcast the second annual American Giving Awards, presented by Chase, on Saturday, December 8 from 8-10pm ET, from the Pasadena Civic Auditorium.
Produced by Dick Clark productions and Intersport, the AGAs are the first-ever televised celebrity tribute to recognize community heroes. The AGAs will grant a total of $2 million to five featured charitable organizations, which are voted on from a list of 25 previous Chase Community Giving (CCG) grant recipients. The organization with the most votes from Chase customers and Facebook users will receive a $1 million grant, the runner-up will be granted $500,000, a third organization will receive a $250,000 grant and two will be given $125,000 grants.
"We are proud to once again present this entertaining and important telecast," said Doug Vaughan, Senior Vice President, Special Programs and Late Night for NBC. "We hope that this event will bring national recognition and support to all of the causes being celebrated."
Each charity organization will represent one of five pre-determined categories recognizing the "building blocks" of our communities:
· Educators & Mentors Award: For empowering our communities through education
· Heroes & Leaders Award: For outstanding community contributions to human rights and social services
· Champions of Health & Wellness: For improving health and wellbeing in our communities
· Community Builders Award: For excellence in serving our communities
· Youth Developers Award: For inspiring and nurturing our youth that will help build stronger communities.
"Coming off the success of last year's American Giving Awards, we are delighted to once again shine a spotlight on some incredible local charities who are changing lives and making a real impact in their communities every day," said Kimberly Davis, President of the JPMorgan Chase Foundation. "We know viewers will be entertained, but we hope they will also be inspired to get involved."
Chase Community Giving was introduced in 2009 as a new way forward for giving. It's a program that lets fans of CCG, and now Chase customers, vote to help determine where Chase donates millions of dollars. Since the program's inception, nearly 3.5 million Facebook users have "liked" Chase Community Giving. In total, millions of people have helped Chase donate over $20 million to over 500 charities in 41 states, Washington D.C. and Puerto Rico. Chase Community Giving is part of JPMorgan Chase's annual giving, which totals more than $150 million each year.
Voting for the American Giving Awards will take place on Facebook and Chase.com. For more information on the program and how to vote, visit www.facebook.com/chasecommunitygiving.
NBC Entertainment develops and schedules programming for the network's primetime, late-night, and daytime schedules.

|Weaver strikes out 15
|From Staff Reports
April 17, 2004 -- CUMBY -- Miller Grove's Frank Weaver struck out 15 Cumby batters on Friday, just three days after pitching a no-hitter, and his brother James Weaver hit a solo homerun to help lead the Hornets to a 6-5 victory.
Miller Grove improved to 4-4 in District 14-1A play behind the Weaver brothers. Frank went all seven innings, walking four and giving up six hits. Combined with his Tuesday outing, he struck out 31 batters this week.
James went 2-for-3 with a solo homerun in the first and a two-run double in the Hornets' three-run sixth inning that turned a 4-3 deficit into a 6-4 advantage. Lee Roy Stracener also went 2-for-3 with a pair of doubles and two runs scored.
Miller Grove had six extra-base hits as Randy Rainey doubled and Brandon Stunkard tripled and drove in a run. Michael Simpson and Billy Giles also singled.

UPEI graduate Hailey Lambe took this picture in May 2013 of two red foxes just outside their den on the Experimental Farm property in Charlottetown. Lambe also observed three kits, also known as baby foxes, around the den. The P.E.I. Urban Red Fox Research Project wants Islanders to keep reporting their sightings of red foxes to the website www.upei.ca/redfox.
©Photo special to The Guardian.
People in Charlottetown are being asked to be on the lookout for foxes.
The P.E.I. Urban Red Fox Research Project says it needs Islanders to keep reporting their sightings of red foxes to the website www.upei.ca/redfox.
Marina Silva-Opps, a terrestrial ecologist and associate professor of biology at UPEI told The Guardian that each reported sighting helps them better understand the local red fox population, how it interacts with humans on P.E.I. and will help it issue recommendations to the public.
Since the launch of the project in 2012, Islanders have reported more than 1,600 sightings of red foxes. That has helped the research team discover areas of high red fox activity in urban areas and identify possible den sites for further research. More data would allow the team to find out more, including possible health concerns.
When the team initially put the word out in October 2012 that they wanted Islanders to report sightings they received approximately 600 reported sightings that month alone.
However, things soon cooled off. Silva-Opps said reports dropped off 80 per cent and they're hoping stories like this one help things pick back up again.
"We know very little of which habitats they use in the city during winter time or if they are still using it in the same way or the same habitats that they use in other seasons. We know little about the breeding and mating of urban foxes and we certainly don't know much here on P.E.I.,'' Silva-Opps said. "We would love to have more reports this season to try and document what is happening during the winter and spring.''
The research team would like to provide the public with information that educates them on why there is no need to feed foxes, even though they often display a scrawny appearance.
Hailey Lambe, one of the researchers, said sightings helped them discover fox dens at the Experimental Farm.
"That was an interesting den because it was dug right into the ground in a field that was already plowed,'' Lambe said. "They were there almost all spring while the crop was growing. I think I saw three kits (young foxes) at that den.''
They've also been collecting fecal samples which will be used to identify the presence of canid parasites, some of which affect dogs, including lungworm and runny nose.
Silva-Opps said another graduate is collecting fox stomachs to explore what foxes eat while another is looking into peoples' opinions on foxes, including questions about feeding them.
Silva-Opps is also supervising 10 undergraduate students who are conducting small research projects on a very specific aspect of the ecology and/or behavior of foxes and coyotes.
To report a sighting by mail, request a form by calling (902) 566-0602.

I think the combination of brains, passion and a sense of humor are very appealing. I love stimulating conversation, music, laughter (I'm not afraid to laugh at myself), movies/theatre, the beach, travel, healthy cooking and most important, spending time with the one I love. I don't need someone to complete me but together we are complete.
About you....You are kind, caring, fun-loving, health-conscious and have a great sense of humor. If you are intellectually stimulating, spontaneous and can keep me laughing, you've got my attention.

The federal opposition yesterday seized on job cuts at
Marking the anniversary of Prime Minister
But Ms Gillard accused Mr Abbott of exploiting job losses unrelated to the carbon price scheme.
Qantas had made it "abundantly clear" the job losses were about decisions and competition in the international aviation sector, she said.
"What's not appropriate is to try and spin decisions that have been made by companies today about Australian jobs and pretend that they are somehow related to the government's plan to price carbon," she said.
"To do so is completely disrespectful to those companies but more importantly to the workers in those companies, many of whom have got bad news today. What a dreadful thing to do when those people are under pressure."
Separately, Climate Change Minister
"He's essentially acknowledging that the Minerals Council and its involvement in this advertising campaign through the Trade and Industry Alliance . . . that they're not having any regard to real policy discussion, facts or rational debate or considered opinion on the policy," Mr Combet told ABC Radio.
Earlier in the day, Mr Abbott and a number of his shadow cabinet attended an anti-carbon-tax rally of around 4000 mostly elderly people in front of Parliament House.
Stung by criticism of his appearance at a rally earlier in the year featuring offensive placards, Mr Abbott yesterday sought to distance himself from the more extreme elements at the protest.
"I can see a lot of signs. Some signs I agree with, some signs I don't necessarily agree with," Mr Abbott said.
"But . . . there are two things we all want to say today. First, we don't want a carbon tax, and second, we do want an election."
Former rock star Angry Anderson told the rally people needed to "maintain the rage" – a reference to Gough Whitlam's plea to supporters after he was dismissed in 1975.
Meanwhile, a report by the Climate Commission estimated that up to 28,900 coastal homes in Perth and WA's south-west will be flooded by the end of the century due to rising sea levels. It said a sharp fall in Perth's rainfall since 1975 was threatening the city's drinking supplies, and that sea levels along WA's coast have risen at double the global rate since the 1990s.
"We are more certain of the climate change risks for water resources for south-western WA than any other part of Australia," climate commissioner and report author Will Steffen said.
Despite expected fireworks at a mining function ahead of the launch of the report in Perth, commission chair Tim Flannery and other commissioners did not face any sceptical questions about the link between industrial emissions and climate change.
But afterwards WA Chamber of Minerals and Energy chief executive
"We have grave concerns not just that Australia appears to be leading the race in many respects, but our major competitors are often not the major economies of the world," he said.

Paul Krugman Warns: 'We Are Crippling Our Future'
from HuffPost:
Paul Krugman is worried about our future.
The Nobel Prize-winning economist told a meeting of other prominent economists that we're not doing enough in the short term to ensure that country's long-term economic health is taken care of.
"We are crippling our future as well as our present by falling to do what is needed to deal with the short run," the Nobel Prize-winning economist said at the American Economic Association's 2013 annual meeting on Sunday, according to a new transcript by Brad DeLong, an economics professor at the University of California at Berkeley. "A failure to deal with the short run is inflicting very large long-run costs."
Though Krugman did not give examples, there are several signs that the prolonged economic downturn is inflicting long-term damage on the economy. For one, the unemployment rate averaged 4.6 percent in 2007, but Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said in December that the economy's long-run unemployment rate is now somewhere between 5 and 6 percent. ..................(more)

But not trying to kill the economy, that would just be collateral damage to their greed. They are fighting to get the last of the eggs from the golden goose. They dont purposefully want the goose dead, but capitalism doesnt have safeguards.
We are in the endgame of capitalism. The big fish will soon be after each other.

so now there will be a turn around. The corps have new customers in the Middle East and Far East. So they'll develop them and down grade us. It's the switcharoo. We'll be the new cheap labor and China and India and DuBai will be the elite countries.

11. I dont believe that will work with unregulated capitalism.
Capitalism worked for about 50 years in the USofA from about 1935 until Reagan because it was heavily regulated. These strict regulations allowed the middle class to prosper. This situation does not exist in India, China, etc. Without regulations capitalism will eat itself. Cheap labor is wonderful for capitalism but if everyone is poor, who will buy the products? Henry Ford wasnt an altruistic person. He gave his workers a good wage because it made him money. Wal-fucking-mart hasnt figured that out, and I dont expect them too. The greed of the capitalist will kill the goose and most likely destroy the planet for human habitation.

Then, with the current debt ceiling of $16 trillion, and current levels of federal spending and taxation, we could go for about 15 years before we get back up to the debt ceiling and have to deal with this BS again.

Think about it..the debt would be gone, spending can be increased to stimulate the economy, and deficits won't matter for at least 30 years. If QE1, QE2, etc are not devaluing the currency or causing inflation, then why would this?

13. K&R...."We" aren't doing it, though.
The corporatists who have purchased our government are. At this point, the opinions of the American people could not have less to do with what our government is planning.
We have tried to be heard. We speak loudly in polls, with vast numbers of us across party lines crying out against austerity. We have seen more citizen protest recently than in a very long time. Collectively, we voted for the less extreme of the two corporate candidates we were offered, the one who promised to stand for the 99 percent and defend critical safety nets.
Instead, we will get economy-slowing austerity imposed upon us, we will get more protection of the corrupt bankers, and we will see more assaults on the poor and middle class.
Every single poll shows that the American people want to do what would be more healthy for our economy: trash the very notion of austerity, cut the obscene military budget, and focus on stimulating and investing in this country and its people again. But time and time again, we are brazenly ignored by politicians in both parties who serve those who have purchased them.
We don't have representation anymore. We are ruled.

[A man peers through the wreckage in Shawnee, Oklahoma, theUnited States, May 20, 2013. Tornadoes ravaged portions of central Oklahoma on Sunday, according to media reports. (Xinhua/Marcus DiPaola) ]
HOUSTON, (Xinhua): A powerful tornado struck the southern suburbs of Oklahoma City, capital of the U.S. state of Oklahoma, on Monday afternoon, killing at least 51 people and injuring at least 140 others, officials said.
At least 20 of the dead were children, including at least seven from Plaza Towers Elementary School in Moore, which lies directly in the path of the monster storm's wall of wind. Of the wounded, 70 were also children, according to media reports.
The tornado reportedly ripped through Moore in the southern part of the Oklahoma city metropolitan area Monday afternoon, devastating homes and buildings. The monster twister was estimated to be at least two miles (3.2 km) wide at one point as it moved through the area.
Video coverage from CNN affiliates showed a funnel cloud stretching from the sky to the ground, kicking up debris. Areas of metropolitan Oklahoma city appeared to be in ruins after the tornado moved through the region.
Block after block lay in ruins in Moore, a community of 41,000 people. Homes were crushed into piles of broken wood while cars and trucks were left crumpled on the roadside.
Briarwood Elementary School in Moore reportedly received a "direct hit" from the storm and was severely damaged. Plaza Towers Elementary School in Moore was also on the twister's path.
Speaking to reporters Monday night, Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin said officials are doing everything they can to help find people who may be lost or injured.
More than 32,000 electricity users in Oklahoma were left without power early Monday evening, local power providers said.
The tornado followed the path of a killer twister that slammed the region in May 1999. It was the fourth tornado to hit Moore since 1998. A twister also struck in 2003.
Monday afternoon's tornado in Moore came after tornadoes and powerful storms ripped through Oklahoma and the Midwest on Sunday and earlier Monday.
Two people, both in their 70s, were confirmed dead after tornadoes hit Oklahoma on Sunday, officials said Monday.
As many as 28 tornadoes were reported in Oklahoma, Kansas, Illinois and Iowa, according to the U.S. National Weather Service.
A combination of factors, including strong winds and warm, moist air banging against dry air, means severe weather could continue sweeping across a wide swath of the U.S. for days, according to CNN

We may soon discover whether it's possible for a horse to strike the "Tebowing" pose.
The Little Red Feather racing stables in California have changed the name of a filly with an excellent pedigree to Tebowing, in honor of craze started by Tim Tebow kneeling in prayer on the sidelines.
Tebowing is the daughter of the 2000 Kentucky Derby winner, Fusaichi Pegasus, who has sired several stakes winners and whose progeny have earned more than $52 million since 2002.
The horse originally was to be named "Eye Pity Dafu," but that was rejected by the Jockey Club because of phonetic similarity to another horse's name.
Little Red Feather is offering Tebowing for syndication, and its website says that if investors buy a stake before Nov. 30 and send a picture of themselves Tebowing "we will knock 5% off the initial share price."

Hardee's targets Minnesota, but might miss Rochester
Since 2001, when a court order closed three Hardee's restaurants in Rochester, local fans have been asking when the fast-food franchise would be returning.
Some news out of the Twin Cities concerning a major Hardee's push in Minnesota certainly holds some promise for local lovers of bacon cheddar fries.
CKE Restaurants Inc., which owns Hardee's and its southern sibling Carl's Jr., has an ambitious goal of opening more than 59 new Hardee's in the Twin Cities area in the next five years.
Let's put that number in perspective to comprehend what a huge Thickburger invasion this could be.
Right now, there are 25 Hardee's cooking in the entire state. The nearest to Rochester are in Winona, Faribault and Albert Lea.
With such interest in the state, could Rochester have a Hardee's in its future?
"I touched bases with the development team, and the focus right now is on Minneapolis," says Elayne Sommers of Fish Consulting. "With that being said, I couldn't get any more information on expansion in the Rochester area, so there could be interest there."
Hardee's slices the United States into Designated Metro Areas. The DMA that includes Rochester extends into Wisconsin and Iowa and already has five Hardee's in it.
Sommers says that, based on population, the Rochester DMA could handle another five of the restaurants.
So Rochester could be a good candidate for a Hardee's or two, but CKE only has eyes for the Twin Cities right now.
Depending on interest from franchisees, that could change.
For anyone interested, qualified franchisees are required to have a net worth of at least $1 million and a minimum liquidity of $300,000. Initial investment for a franchisee is $1.1 million.
