Mountain Man Makes First Court Appearance
The so-called "Utah Mountain Man" -- Troy Knapp -- made his first court appearance today, in Manti.
The suspect, 45, is accused of breaking into dozens of cabins, across several Utah counties. Some crimes date back as far as six years.
The most serious, anticipated charge against him is attempted murder -- for shooting at law enforcement personnel, in a helicopter, during his capture.
That charge has not yet been filed.

Eight of Australia's 10 best agents will reveal their proven sales strategies in a high-impact event that will also feature John McGrath and Tom Panos.
The Secrets of the Top 100 will include the four highest-ranked agents from this year's Top 100 Agents ranking – James Tostevin, Alexander Phillips, Marcus Chiminello and Ric Serrao.
The two events will also include Glen Coutinho who placed sixth, Michael Clarke who placed seventh, Jason Boon who placed eighth and Adrian Bo who placed ninth.
They will also be joined by number 12 Piers van Hamburg, number 19 Tim Heavyside and number 20 Nick Renna.
Attendees will discover how to deliver outstanding client service, how to use social media to maximise brand exposure and how to win more listings.
Mr McGrath will explain why Top 100 members are significantly more productive than other agents, while Mr Panos will reveal the habits that Australia's most successful agents share.
REB editor Nick Bendel said the Secrets of the Top 100 would show agents exactly what steps to follow to become million-dollar performers.
"The tips that agents pick up could literally translate into dozens of sales and tens of thousands of dollars over the course of a career," he said.
"Australia's very best real estate agents will offer clear, practical advice on what agents need to do if they want to qualify for future Top 100 Agents rankings."
The Melbourne leg will be held on October 13 at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre, while the Sydney leg will be held on October 20 at Le Montage.

About Smooth Fitness Ellipticals
If you have ever heard of the #1 online retailer of exercise equipment and the 255th largest e-commerce site in the whole United States, then perhaps you are very familiar with the name Smooth Fitness. Smooth Fitness is the leading manufacturer of workout machines that sell its products direct from its warehouse, providing buyers with the highest standards but at the same time a cheaper bargain for your workout needs.
Smooth Fitness is concerned with the goals that their buyers have to achieve so they provide them with fitness equipments that will allow them to focus more on achieving such goals. It has been established since 1984 and was the first retailer to sell online fitness equipments in 1996. Yes, Smooth Fitness has made a long way of helping people lose weight and stay fit. Their long-list of awards will speak of how Smooth Fitness is the brand when it comes to workout equipments.
Smooth Fitness offers different lines of workout equipments like treadmills, elliptical trainers and exercise bikes. Its elliptical trainers (Smooth CE 7.4 Elliptical, Smooth CE 3.2 Elliptical, etc.) are equipped with an ergonomic, pivoting foot pedal which supports the heel while allowing the ankle to assume its most functional position thus protecting the ankle, knee and hip from impact caused by workout. The Smooth Fitness elliptical trainers have long stride select ranging from 18" to 21" , a heavy duty flywheel and an electronic braking system which allows comfort but at the same time ensuring you a total-body workout.
Smooth Fitness will always look for ways to achieve 100% customer satisfaction. With that, they revolutionized the Agile DMT Elliptical Trainers (Smooth Agile DMT X1 Elliptical, Smooth Agile DMT, Smooth CE 2.7 Elliptical, Smooth Agile DMT X2 Elliptical) which is popularized by three distinct features. First, the Agile Muscle Performance which provides 12 levels of adjustable motion to recruit more muscle groups to workout. Second, the Fluid Motion System. The Agile is constructed to produce a fluid bi-concave motion that creates a natural walking movement which guides the knee and shin around an elliptical path thus reducing the stress on joints and bones. Third, the Surefit Pedal Motion that moves with the natural rotation of the ankle eliminating the excess pressure on the ball of the foot.
Smooth Fitness with all its achievements and machine equipments built with the highest of standards, working out will never be this effective and efficient. Nothing works you smooth than the Smooth Fitness' machines.

Micro tech creates big hopes for manufacturers
Manufacturing Reporter
Page Tools
Dr Peter Binks says car makers, such as Mercedes-Benz, are already
conducting extensive research into nanotechnology.
Photo: James Davies
NANOTECHNOLOGY will offer many manufacturers the opportunity to seize a competitive advantage, but people worried that millions or billions of "nanobots" will end up ruling the world can rest easy.
Nanotechnology is the creation of tiny machines, electrical circuits or biosensors built with individual atoms and molecules.
The ability to manipulate materials at the atomic level has already opened up new markets or allowed companies to seize established markets, according to Peter Binks, chief executive of Nanotechnology Victoria.
Nanotechnology covers broad areas of science including nanoecology (wastewater recycling, altering toxic pollutants), materials engineering, nanomedicine (biosensors detecting disease, miniature robots delivering drugs) and small-scale computing.
The manufacturers that can benefit most from nanotechnology are those with products heavily dependent on their constituent materials for their function.
"Automotive and aerospace are going to be significant areas where lightweight materials and tensile strength are important to the performance of the product," Dr Binks said ahead of today's nanotechnology conference in Melbourne.
Interestingly, the struggling textile industry could be a significant beneficiary.
"The textile industry has had real problems as manufacturing has moved offshore," Dr Binks said. "Now we are seeing a number of companies focusing on having superior textiles that have functional properties. They are the ones taking up nanotech."
Dr Binks said the catalogue for New Zealand's Kathmandu outdoor wear company included many technical textiles that have special attributes, such as being water repellent or stain repellent.
"We think the textile companies are almost the leaders in nanotechnology at present."
Dr Binks was quick to point out that nanotechnology will not be suitable for all manufacturers, and he also wanted to dispel some of the "hype" that had built up around the new discipline.
"There was a lot of excitement generated by Eric Drexler 15 years ago. He put forward a vision that there would be molecular manufacturing and you would have tiny "nanobots" self assembling themselves and fundamentally changing our approach to manufacturing.
"The theory has effectively been disproved. There are physical and biological laws that put real constraints on what you can do down there."
The potential of nanotechnology can be seen in a couple of startling projects being pursued in the automotive industry. Dr Binks said Mercedes-Benz was working on a paint that can automatically repair a small chip.
"In the paste, a chip would propagate. Now they are working on materials that will self-correct."
Another project is trying to perfect glass to which dust and water cannot adhere. If that comes off, car makers will be able to do away with wipers and motors and other electrical parts.

The Airedale would have followed him, but with the menace of an upraised fist he sent it back.
Looking wisely and suspiciously at Trent as he sauntered by was an Airedale.
The Airedale grasped it at once, and nodded understandingly.
It was the soul of his Airedale father, telling him the other thing was running away!
The district specially known as Airedale is the valley of the Aire above Leeds.
The Airedale that does not carry a gay tail is a delight to no eye.
Mr. Airedale, Mr. Dobermann-Pinscher, and several other prominent members of the Church burst into threatening growls.
Had the Airedale not filled this bill, he would never have persisted.
He was again beginning to distrust Riley, who undoubtedly resembled an Airedale.
The city at best is no place for any dog; no place for terriers of all dogs, and of all terriers, the Airedale!
type of terrier, 1880, named for Airedale, a district in West Riding, Yorkshire.
Name registered by Kennel Club (1886), for earlier Bingley (where first bred), or broken-haired terrier. [Weekley]

An integrated and multiple-scale approach to fractured-rock aquifer characterization has been undertaken at the Bucknell University Hydrogeophysics Test Site. The research site is on the north limb of a west-plunging, second-order anticline in the Valley and Ridge province of central Pennsylvania, and consists of five 175-ft deep, open-hole wells in the carbonate rock and shale of the Silurian Wills Creek Formation. Data collected at the well field include water-level responses during drilling operations, acoustic- and optical-televiewer logs, caliper logs, slug tests, borehole flowmeter surveys, straddle-packer injection tests, and multiple-well pumping tests. To place the site-scale characterization within the context of the regional geology, two nearby Wills Creek outcrops in similar structural position to the well field were studied.
Three major fracture sets were identified at the Wills Creek outcrops: (1) bedding-sub-parallel fractures, (2) cleavage, and (3) joints. The same three sets were identified in borehole acoustic- and optical-televiewer logs from the well field. In addition, carbonate-solution features were apparent in outcrop and borehole-televiewer images. Although the angle between average bedding planes varies up to 20 degrees between sites, orientation analyses of outcrop and borehole data indicate that the angles between the fracture sets and bedding are similar.
Hydraulic, geophysical, and structural observations were combined to identify transmissive fracture zones in the well field. Several transmissive zones were penetrated by each of the wells, and these zones provide hydraulic connections between the wells at multiple depths. Observed fractures within the transmissive zones include the three fracture sets, although bedding-sub-parallel fractures are most prominent and show the most oxidation. The strong correlation between borehole and outcrop observations should facilitate the extension of the site-scale hydrogeophysical results to other similar geologic settings in the Valley and Ridge.

I think I've answered this before, but I haven't picked the testers yet. It really depends on how small my "good" pool is once I assemble a list of apprentices and excellent testers in the past. If we have a shitload, you're out of luck. If we don't, I'll certainly look to people who volunteered in the past and missed out. But yeah, it all depends on how long that list ends up being.

And thanks for the well wishes from others. I'm working slowly, but not forcing myself to finish things up. Just kind of going at my own pace  The beta will be ready soon. How soon? I don't know  Not gonna jinx/rush it at this point.

While most states do not oversee housecleaning as a regulated profession, there are many ways you can demonstrate your professionalism and commitment to quality service. Becoming licensed and bonded as an independent housecleaner or housecleaning company is one method of instilling customer confidence. Being licensed shows customers that you're following the law and have received appropriate government permissions to provide housecleaning services. Bonding protects customers by guaranteeing the job will be completed or they will receive adequate compensation. While it's not usually very difficult or expensive to obtain the proper licensing and bonding, it may require time for approval of applications, so start early.
1. Contact your local city, county and state governments to obtain information about licensing laws in your area, license requirements and licensing procedures. Some locations license housecleaners as service contractors, while others require only a general business license to operate in the specified area. Additionally, some locations may require you to hold a certain amount of insurance coverage or file a surety bond prior to being licensed.
2. Purchase a professional bond from your insurance agent. The amount of the bond will depend on the size and scope of your housecleaning business, or on local regulations, but usually bonds cover about $2,000 to $10,000 of customer reimbursement for an independent housecleaning contractor or small service business.
3. Ensure all advertisements, business cards, contracts, invoices or any other correspondence includes your license number so customers may verify your license with the appropriate governing body. Additionally, note in your service agreements or contracts that you're bonded as a housecleaner and provide customers with information about who to contact in the event a job is not completed and how to seek reimbursement.

Cleanliness and good location. Breakfast was good. A rather formal atmostphere which I found to be off putting. How unusual for a botel to not make it easy to be able to leave your bags there if you're not travelling straight away after leaving your room at 10h.
the hotel is at a practical location for a stop on your way to a more southern destination. nice brasserie and vfriendly staff.
The location and the village were stunning. The staff were very friendly and attentive to our needs. The family rooms were in desperate need of updating and although linen on beds was clean the whole impression made the room look shabby. The photos of the rooms on the website are misleading.
nice efficient people, location the socalled gastronomic restaurant. not much choice, appetizersize portions, robotlike personnel, expensive, no value for money at all
The location was good for our family. It was easy to find, and fairly clean. The price was rather high, considering the basics were all that was met. We ate in the restaurant, and found that the food was not very exceptional for the price. We would have been happier had we visited a local restaurant.
This is not a complaint but needs attention. The booking confirmation received shows check in time from 1400hrs. When we arrived the hotel was closed and check in time was not until 1700hrs. Other travellers also arrived for the earlier time.
Great restaurant, heater in room, no secure parking. no facility to make tea or coffe in room
The easy location and only ten minutes walk to the town, lovely old town with a lot of history. Good choice of breakfast and good restaurant with very resaonable prices. Free parking. Was excellent as a stop over on our way back from our tour of France.
Slightly out of town but not an issue, parking safe, welcome brilliant this hotel and the chain have soemthing different to offer if they are the newer ones in the group. Amazing value and comfort for a chain and the for a stopover brilliant. Lively restaurant so a good atmosphere not stuffy or abandoned. The owner was on the case - would recommend and stay again selectively as the Montpellier one close to the airport a bit of a mess!!!
Thr price was fine for a budget hotel. There were no English speaking channels on the TV
Staff were friendly and available - dealing with people rather than a card machine! Restaurant available on site. Good sized room and en-suite. Access to reception via steps could prove a problem for some guests.
Location and parking Poor wifi coverage
Be fare about the rooms and amount of beds in the rooms. In our case we made a reservation for 5 persons and max amount of beds was only four, while on the resevation page stand extra bed possible
We had a ground floor room, which had a door opening onto a decking area, with deckchair. Nice to be able to let the sun shine into the room. A seating area nearby would have been good to use, had the weather been a bit warmer. We had a very good meal in the restaurant. Be warned that on a Tuesday evening the restaurants in town close, so it's good that you can eat at the hotel.
The castel and the out side The inside and the Restaurant
The food and the location The room was somewhat shabby; broken light switch, noisy fridge, 2 light- bulbs not working. The bed was very uncomfortable and noisy (loose joints), this was reported to the hotel the following morning.
Very clean and comfortable rooms, pleasant and helpful staff and the option of hot drinks facility in the room.
Only the location which was breathtaking for views of the countryside. The meal we were served on the first evening was awful, very poor in quality and cooking to ones liking. The menu is a set price, either €32 or €42 each with three choices of main course. The second night we went to a Restaurant Grill, across the road from the Chateau entrance and had a really super meal much cheaper than at the Chateau.
Clean comfortable room in beautiful surroundings and at the right place for an overnight stop on our way to Spain Plain Walls in the room. Dinner menu is poor value for money. Breakfast should be in a light room not in a darkened space.
The location and the food Difficult to find the entrance and no tea or coffee facilities in room.
wifi very exp.
The Chateau, grounds and surrounding area were beautiful, we found it a welcome break from our journey from the UK to Spain. Unfortunately the rooms were going through a refurbishment and were lacking in some facilities.
Nice setting. Easy to find. Checked in late (2145). No English spoke & my French is so so. Asked if we could get a coffee, but wasn't interested. Mini bar in room, only 1 beer, some soft drinks and crisps. No tea/coffee facilities. When you arrive in darkness, very badly lit from where car is parked.
The hotel is in a stunning setting and has been fully restored to an historic French Chateau. Quality french cuisine is served in the restaurant but is quite costly; A two course meal for two people was €120 and breakfast €16 per person. This would be a fantastic, idyllic location for a wedding.
Neither the hotel nor the staff had much personality. Restaurant very disorganised and not as good as they think it is. But not much alternative in the town
Large room and spacious bathroom. Outlook from room with good views of river and town Excellent dining room and terrace in traditional style. Very helpful staff. Difficult entry into car park if you have a larger than average size vehicle.
Very good location, near to the motorway in a pleasant rural village. Great rural views. Very clean and comfortable. Restaurant rather pretentious, but v good food for dinner. Fight hard for the house wine if you want it at dinner, and they will very reluctantly let you have it! Breakfast poor for the price.
The staff at Le Rocher Blanc were really friendly and helpful. The decor was quirky and fascinating. The rooms were individually detailed and the beds were very comfortable. The dinner menu was excellent and we thought good value for money. Great advice on wine choice too. We were travelling through France and the proximity to the motorway was very convenient - easy to find.
Good access to motorway, unfortunatly arrival was after dinner,(11pm) and there was no oppotunity to experince the restaurant facilities The buffet breakfast was the same as continental, but cost more
We chose this hotel as a stop off en-route to the South of France, we didn't want an F1 or similar but didn't want to pay a fortune. It is only half a mile form the A75 but in lovely countryside. It has a comfortable, friendly bar with a few locals in. Good relaxed atmosphere, after a long drive on a hot day you can have cold beer at the bar or out on the terrace. Welcome was friendly but efficient, room was very comfortable with an excellent bed best I have had for some years. Be aware the restaurant menu is not cheap but the food is very good. The cheapest was €20p/p for 2 courses With the room @ only €58 for 2 you soon spend more than the room. It is a great stop-off and we would use it again. Hope this helps.
We have used this hotel several times as a one night autoroute stop and the owner always remembers us. The general atmosphere is friendly,the rooms are comfortable and the food is excellent. NO !!!!
The very nice indoor swimming pool in the neighbouring barn. The overall decoration of the hotel and rooms.
The hotel was nice and clean and the staff were friendly The location of the hotel was quite remote, also the restaurant was expensive.
Swimming pool
Staff were very helpfull, Room was Clean & comfortable; The¨"Le Rocher Blanc Experience" was one to be repeated when I am next in the area, preferably for more than 1 night Unavailability of Wi-Fi in my room (Due to location I think)
the food and the swimmingpool christmas decorations in the summertime

Foster's Group says it will split its beer and wine assets into new listed companies, as it signalled a $1.3 billion impairment in its fiscal 2010 results against the wine business.
Foster's said it expected earnings in fiscal 2010 to come in at $1.05 billion-$1.08 billion, in line with consensus estimates, the company said in a statement on Wednesday.
It warned the impairment against the carrying value of the wine assets would "change... the timing and payment of dividends over the next 12 months".
The brewer said the structural separation would create separate stock exchange listings for its Beer and Wine business.
The demerger was subject to a "detailed evaluation of the issues, costs and benefits to Fosters shareholders and ongoing assessment of prevailing economic and capital market conditions", the company said in its statement.
Foster's is being advised by Gresham Advisory Partners and Corrs Chambers Westgarth.
Foster's chief executive
"While the beer and wine businesses are market leaders, they operate in separate market segments with different strategic and operating characteristics, Mr Johnston said in a statement.
"We will proceed as quickly as possible, but priority will be given to ensuring that all relevant matters are carefully and rigorously examined with the intention of continuing to grow our businesses and minimising disruption to our customers, employees, suppliers and other stakeholders."
Foster's said no decision had been made on the structure of timing of the demerger, which would depend upon "among other things, prevailing economic and capital market conditions".
But the brewer said it was unlikely to be implemented until the first half of calendar 2011 at the earliest.
Foster's said potential benefits of the demerger included increased transparency, allowing investors to more appropriately value each business over time.
It also would provide greater investment choice and flexibility for separate boards and management of Beer and Wine to develop their own corporate strategies and implement capital structures and financial policies appropriate to their businesses.
Potential issues associated with the demerger may include financing costs, corporate and other costs and one-off implementation costs, the brewer said.

UMKC Students Keeping Close Watch on Debt Ceiling DebateFrustrations in the Nation's capital and across the nation are growing as lawmakers appear no closer to breaking a stalemate over the country's debt ceiling.

Advocates Worry Vt.'s Renewable Energy Fund Is Nearly Depleted
04/19/12 7:30AM By John Dillon
| Download MP3
The Vermont Clean Energy Development Fund has provided grants, loans, and tax credits for renewable energy projects and customers. Renewable energy developers say the fund has jump-started their industry.
Sunward Solar in Vergennes makes solar hot water systems systems. CEO Tom Hughes says the Vermont Clean Energy Development Fund helped boost sales by lowering the price of the hot water systems. Thanks to the fund, Hughes says, solar hot water is no longer a luxury item for the rich.
"The CEDF makes the benefits of solar hot water available to all Vermonters regardless of their current income of their ability to come up with the up-front cost of a solar system," Hughes said. "It doesn't matter if you have a $1 million income a year or $10,000 income a year. If you put a solar hot water system on, it can start paying you back right away."
Hughes says energy companies like Sunward usually handle the fund application process and paperwork for customers. His company installed about 250 hot water heaters last year. Hughes says the fund helped cut the price of the systems by about 11 percent.
"It definitely boosted our sales. And that in turn led to us hiring more installers to complete all the installations that we had to do," he said.
But the Clean Energy Development Fund is running short of money. The main source was Entergy Vermont Yankee, which agreed to pay into the fund when it won permission seven years to store nuclear waste in dry casks along the Connecticut River in Vernon.
Since 2005, Entergy has kicked in up to $7 million a year. But those payments were scheduled to phase out this year, when Yankee's original operating license expired.
Yankee's future is now tied up in the federal courts and the state Public Service Board. The board has said the company has to follow its previous commitments, but did not specifically order Yankee to continue paying into the fund. Entergy Vermont Yankee has said it will put the money into an escrow account.
The legal uncertainty left the Shumlin Administration scrambling for alternative sources of money. In the end, Gov. Peter Shumlin went back to the same source.
"What you'll see us recommending is a fair generation tax that is in line with what other states charge and in line with what other generators in Vermont pay at this time," said Shumlin.
Now, Shumlin says the plan is to levy a generation tax on the electricity Yankee sells, but leave it up to the Legislature on how to spend the money.
"I'm a big supporter of the Energy Fund," the governor said. "I will advocate strongly in the Appropriations Committee that the Clean Energy Fund continues to be funded through the appropriations of the state of Vermont."
The new generation tax is likely to be included in the miscellaneous tax bill that's now in the Senate. Renewable energy advocates are cautiously optimistic.
"It is an advancement for how to keep these jobs going, and how to keep the clean energy going," said Gabrielle Stebbins, executive director of Renewable Energy Vermont, which is the industry's trade association. "I have to say the devil is always in the details. Since 2005 this has been a dedicated funding pot. And we will certainly be mindful and watching how the appropriations committee ends up treating this funding source as it has been treated in the past, which is as a dedicated funding source."
An earlier version of this story failed to clarify that Vermont's Public Service Board has not specifically ordered Vermont Yankee to pay into the Clean Energy Development Fund.

Kristen Stewart Gets Two New 'On the Road' Co-Stars
Kristen Stewart will be traveling On the Road with some high-profile company. The Twilight beauty, who's currently filming the movie adaptation of Jack Kerouac's classic novel in Canada, has just been joined by two new co-stars. (Sadly, no, neither of them are named Robert Pattinson—though her Twilight co-star did pay Stewart a sexy visit on set yesterday.)
The Lord of the Rings star Viggo Mortensen and Enchanted actress Amy Adams have both signed on for the Walter Salles-directed adaptation, which is slated for release next year. Mortensen will portray Old Bull Lee, a character inspired by Naked Lunch author William S. Burroughs, while Adams will play Jane, based on Burroughs' wife, Joan Vollmer. (Vollmer died in 1951 at the age of 28 when Burroughs accidentally shot her in the head. Apparently Adams, who has also signed on to play rock legend/drug casualty Janis Joplin, has acquired a taste for playing ill-fated historical figures.)
Stewart is portraying Marylou, based on LuAnne Henderson, the first wife of Neal Cassady (dubbed Dean Moriarty in the book/movie, and portrayed by Garrett Hedlund).

HONG KONG (Reuters) - The European Central Bank's interest rates are "very low" and its monetary policy stance has become more accommodative than at the peak of the financial crisis, ECB policymaker Juergen Stark said on Tuesday.
FRANKFURT — The European Central Bank cut interest rates to record lows on Thursday, imposing negative rates on its overnight depositors to cajole banks into lending more and to fight off the risk of Japan-like deflation.
The cut, the first time the ECB has deployed a negative deposit rate which effectively charges banks to deposit overnight, was a response to a slowdown in inflation far below the ECB's target and to weak eurozone lending.
FRANKFURT (Reuters) - European Central Bank policymaker Juergen Stark dismissed the idea of common euro zone bonds being a solution to the currency bloc's debt crisis and said leaving interest rates too low for too long was risky.
Reuters - European Central Bank policymaker Juergen Stark dismissed the idea of common euro zone bonds being a solution to the currency bloc's debt crisis and said leaving interest rates too low for too long was risky.
OTTAWA — Count on Mario Draghi to set the tone.
The head of the European Central Bank, who not long ago proclaimed he would "do whatever it takes" to right the region's listing economy and support its common currency, is again attempting to aggressively lead the way in global monetary policy.
And that way is down.
Reuters - The European Central Bank's interest rates are very low and a scaling down of its support measures is warranted, a senior ECB policymaker said on Tuesday but another played down the risk from inflation.
Submitted by Detlev Schlichter of DetlevSchlichter.com,
For months, financial market participants have speculated about whether the European Central Bank will implement negative deposit rates or large-scale quantitative easing to counteract persistently low levels of inflation in the euro zone. But at Credit Suisse's 17th Annual Asian Investment Conference this week in Hong Kong, Dr. Jürgen Stark, a former member of the European Central Bank's Executive Board and former Vice President of the Bundesbank, said such extraordinary measures are not warranted. The euro zone is not in danger of deflation, he said.
OTTAWA — While Canada's economy should pick up later this year, there are external and domestic threats that — if unchecked — could make a case for more interest rate cuts, according to the International Monetary Fund.
The IMF said in a report Thursday that Canada's economy will grow by 1.8% in 2013, hobbled by a weak second-half handover from the previous year.
But gross domestic product is expected to speed up "thanks to the strengthening of the U.S. economy from mid-2013," with the IMF pegging Canadian growth at 2.3% for 2014.

Suzy Crofton, 52, Chicago
This is the first [recession in which] I think that people just don't really know exactly what to expect. We started to see some changes in how people are ordering. They are ordering appetizers as the entrée. People are just a lot more conscious of what they're spending their money on. Instead of having a $100 bottle of wine, they're having a $50 bottle. And skipping dessert. Or they skip appetizers and go straight to the entrée. Tips have dropped far from the usual 18% to 20%. The private dining room is no longer booked three nights a week, because corporate expense accounts are down. I cut the staff from 18 to 14. We've eliminated the dining-room manager, the second highest position. I've taken that position. You have fixed costs and your payroll, and the payroll is the one you can adjust the most. I'm now serving as pastry chef too. We're going to have morels, but we're just waiting until the price comes down they're $50 a pound.

What is the Day of the Dead?
El Día de los Muertos is a Mexican tradition that honors the dead and celebrates the lives of those who have gone before. Celebrated on November 1 by people in Mexico, parts of Central and South America, and increasingly throughout the US, the Day of the Dead is not a mournful occasion, but a spirited holiday.
Bringing food and music, families visit the graves of their loved ones, cleaning the headstones and decorating them with flowers. Images of skeletons dancing or doing other comical things are common, part of the philosophy that death is not something to be feared, but a natural part of life.
What is an ofrenda?
People celebrate the Day of the Dead in their homes, creating altars called ofrendas that display portraits, favorite foods, and special possessions of their loved ones. Ofrendas are also decorated with candles and marigolds (cempoalxóchitl), whose light and scent are said to attract the souls of the deceased and draw them back for a short time to take part in the pleasures they enjoyed in life.
About this year's ofrenda (altar)
Notre Dame undergraduates designed and constructed this year's ofrenda to remember and honor the innocent victims of the US-Mexico drug trade. Led by members of campus student organizations La Alianza and MEChA, they aim to capture the social tragedy and complex reality of Mexico's drug war—as well as Mexican society's cultural resilience in the face
of violence.
The result is a traditional three-level ofrenda featuring an image of the Virgin of Guadalupe, candles, flowers, and food and drink.
It is also a modern ofrenda, including bullet casings to signify pervasive violence; money, for the tragedy's underlying engine; the flags of Mexico and the United States to signify co-responsibility; blood-spattered flowers for innocent bystanders; and toys for innocent victims. Images and news stories represent a cross section of the men, women, and children who have been caught in this cycle of violence.
About the lecture
A confusing mix of myths and facts accompanies the recent escalation of drug violence in Mexico. This talk explores political processes, cultural aspects, and the dynamics of violence associated with the Mexican war on drugs.
About this year's speaker
Javier Osorio, a PhD student in political science at the University of Notre Dame, is currently in residence at Yale University as a Program on Order, Conflict and Violence predoctoral fellow. A Mexican native, he aims to understand the causes and consequences of large-scale criminal violence—and to find paths for building safer, more peaceful and democratic countries.
In his dissertation, Osorio is analyzing the onset, escalation, and diffusion of drug-related violence in Mexico, with support from the National Science Foundation, the Social Science Research Council–Open Society Foundation, the United States Institute for Peace, the Kellogg Institute for International Studies, and the Harry Frank Guggenheim Foundation. Before enrolling in graduate school he served as civil society specialist at the World Bank in Mexico and worked for the Federal Electoral Institute and various human rights NGOs.

* Vino cotto is a star among ingredients. It is a main ingredient found in high-quality, condiment-grade balsamic vinegars and in certain Marsala wines. Balsamic vinegar labels list vino cotto as "cooked must" or "mosto cotto." So, if you've ever wished the balsamic vinegar you brought home from the store was sweeter or had a more vinegary taste to it, now it's possible to create your own simply by adding white vinegar to Vino Cotto by Montillo Italian Foods.

Spiritual Fashionistas: It's not about the clothes – it's about the body in the clothes
I just returned from a worship service here in Austria on this 2nd Sunday in Advent.

It was beautiful and by beautiful I mean many things, not the least of which is that it was utterly appropriate for the Austrian culture.

And yet, when it comes that thing called "church," we're living in an era when 3,500-4,000 churches are closing their doors in America every year. At the same time, there are roughly the same number of new churches opening their doors each year. As a result, we're in this very strange time when established churches with histories, p … [Read more...]

Canteen Fresh
Canteen Fresh, as part of ACT Health's Fresh Tastes program, is the new look name for healthy canteen services previously known as Healthy Food@School. Fresh Tastes encompasses a whole of school approach to create a healthy food and drink culture, of which canteens play an important part.
In partnership with the ACT Health, Nutrition Australia ACT (NA ACT) is working with school canteens to implement the National Healthy School Canteen Guidelines. All Canteen Fresh services are provided free of charge to all ACT schools.
National Healthy School Canteen Guidelines
The National Healthy School Canteen Guidelines (NHSCG) were launched in March 2011. The guidelines use a traffic light system to categorise foods sold at school canteens into GREEN, AMBER or RED foods according to their nutritional value. Foods and drinks categorised as GREEN or AMBER provide valuable nutrients and are suitable for sale in school canteens.
In 2012, the ACT Government Education and Training Directorate revised the School Canteen Policy. The policy states that "canteen operators are encouraged to become Healthy School Canteen Providers", with the support of the school principal and community. The policy also states that in order to become a Healthy School Canteen Provider, foods and beverages sold must align with the NHSCG.
Menu assessments
NA ACT provides individualised menu assessments for all ACT school canteens. Canteen menus are assessed against the NHSCG with a detailed report of recommendations provided to help GREEN the canteen menu. All canteen menus receive a 12 month review after their initial menu assessment to identify changes and provide ongoing support. Canteens that have successfully implemented the NHSCG (i.e. removed all RED items from the menu) receive a "Canteen Menu Award".
Nutrition advisory service
The nutrition advisory and support service is available free of charge to all schools within the ACT who are in the process of, or considering, implementing the NHSCG. This service includes:
- ongoing phone and email support to address any concerns the school canteen has in making the change to go GREEN
- optional site visit to the school canteen
- product clarification
- marketing and promotion ideas
- practical suggestions for improving the nutrition of food and beverages offered, and much more!
Training for canteens
All ACT registered food businesses are required to have a food safety supervisor by October 1 2013. NAQ Nutrition Training's canteen managers course meets the requirements of Nationally Recognised Training and has been especially developed to meet the needs of staff working in school canteens.
In addition to achieving the Food Safety Supervisor qualification, this course also offers small business management principles and menu planning aligning with the NHSCG.
As an additional bonus to this course, a Chartered Accountant from Duesburys Nexia delivers a component on small business management principles (this component is not accredited training).
Upon successful completion of the course, students will achieve a Statement of Attainment for the following units of competency.
SITXFSA201 Participate in safe food handling practices
SITXFSA101 Use hygienic practices for food safety
Resources for canteens
Newsletters & fact sheets
Canteen Fresh e-newsletter is distributed monthly to ACT school canteens and P&C associations. The e-newsletter contains helpful tips to assist school canteens to implement the NHSCG, including marketing strategies, Q&A section, information about new products and resources, and upcoming training events.

Green Card Challenge
In Term 2, 2013 NA ACT launched the GREEN Card Challenge sales incentive kit for school canteens. The GREEN Card Challenge has been developed to:
- reward students who make healthy food and drink choices at the canteen
- increase the sale of GREEN canteen items
?The GREEN Card Challenge sales incentive kit is available free for all ACT schools. To participate, contact NA ACT.
Canteen Companion
NA ACT developed the Canteen Companion to assist schools in implementing the NHSCG. The Canteen Companion resource kit includes a folder filled with simple recipes, each with a corresponding picture that can be displayed on the accompanying Point of Sale Poster. Each recipe was carefully chosen and developed by Accredited Practising Dietitians and Nutritionists with experience in working with school canteens.
NA ACT recognises that each school canteen is unique in regards to facilities, staff, volunteers and students. Canteen Companion is designed to work within your canteen's capacity. Canteen Companion is available free of charge to schools in the ACT who are actively implementing the NHSCG.

The Madison County Sheriff's Office reported the following incidents:
Arrest: On Jan. 31, the sheriff's office received a telephone call from a man who said he was driving on U.S. Highway 29 near Georgia Highway 174 about 11:50 p.m. when he saw an oncoming vehicle with bright lights that had a blue tint. Someone threw an object that hit and shattered the caller's driver's side window of his 1989 Chevrolet Silverado. About five minutes later, another man called and said he was on U.S. 29 when someone threw an object that hit his side door. He turned around and followed the red GMC Jimmy and obtained the license plate number, which was later traced to a man in Bowman. Another man called the sheriff's office a short time later to report that he was driving near Irvin Kirk Road, when someone threw an object and hit his Mack truck. As the caller followed the vehicle into Franklin County to get the license plate number, the vehicle hit a deer. A Franklin County Sheriff's deputy arrived on the scene, where the two suspects, Richard Toole, 18, of West Hendrix Street, Bowman and Seth Kirkland, 19, of Millwood Road, Cumming, were arrested on charges of terroristic threats and acts. A deputy said he checked the teenagers Jimmy and found that when the bright lights were on there was a blue tint. Deputies said it was later determined the vehicles had been fired upon with a weapon. The two suspects are students at Emmanuel College in Franklin Springs.
Theft: On Jan. 31, a resident of James Spring Road, Danielsville, reported another person in the house asked for keys to warm up the pickup. The woman got the keys and drove off with the pickup. The victim said he did not want to press charges.
Entering auto: On Jan. 29, a resident of Grady Drive, Hull, reported the theft of a wallet from an unlocked vehicle. The wallet had a pink frog design and contained her driver's license and other personal property.
Theft: On Jan. 30, a resident of Tabor Chapel Road, Danielsville, reported the theft of 20 catalytic converters from his yard.
Arrests: On Jan. 29, deputies went to a home on Adam Clarke Road, Danielsville, to serve a search warrant at the Mark C. Woody home. When deputies arrived, Woody, 42, was on the porch. He was patted down for weapons and a pipe with white residue was found in his pocket. Another man, Michael Todd Morgan, 31, of Washington Street, Commerce, came from the backyard. He was searched for weapons and deputies also searched his GMC Yukon, where they found scales, a smoking device and a bag of white crystal substance. Deputies also found a substance in the house identified as methamphetamine. Both men were charged with possession of methamphetamine.
Damage: On Jan. 29, a resident of Allen Road reported that someone had been tampering with mail in his mailbox. He said that he once saw a vehicle pull up to the mailbox. After the pickup left, he looked inside and found a crushed can of root beer.
Arrest: On Jan. 29, a deputy patrolling Georgia Highway 106 clocked a car on his radar going 76 mph. Mary Jordan, 54, of Rocksprings Homes, Athens, was charged with speeding and driving while her license was suspended.
Arrest: On Jan. 28, deputies were dispatched to Lem Edwards Road, Hull, to investigate a car crash. Eugene Hunter, 53, of West Broad Street, Athens, explained that a deer ran in front of him and when he swerved, he ran off the road. The deputy smelled alcohol and noted that Hunter spoke with slurred speech. Hunter said he had drank a beer earlier in the day. He was charged with DUI, driving while his license was suspended and having an expired license plate.
Assault: On Jan. 27, a Madison County man said he had received telephone calls over two days from a man who threatened to beat him up. On this day, he said the man pulled up in a car with two other men. The suspect came toward him and hit him in the face, at which point they began to fight. Then the other men jumped on him and continued the hitting and kicking. The man said one of his friends came over to help and someone said he had a gun. The offenders got back into their car and left. A deputy was dispatched to the area, but could not locate the car. The victim was advised about how to take out a warrant on his assailants.
Theft: On Jan. 26, a resident of Nowhere Road, Hull, reported the theft of a Sears riding lawn mower valued at $1,700.
Theft: On Jan. 27, a resident of East Paoli Road reported that someone entered a barn on her property and stole a chainsaw and some other items.
Damage: On Jan 25, an Eastanolee man reported he was driving on Georgia Highway 106 when something hit his windshield. He couldn't determine what caused the damage.

Former student body president *les lawsuit against college
The former student body president of Moorpark College, who was removed from elected office earlier this year for alleged misconduct, said he is filing a lawsuit against the institution because recent disciplinary actions brought against him violate his civil liberties.
Jonathan Foote, 32, of Camarillo was removed from his post as president of the Moorpark College Associated Students in January after allegedly violating the school's student code of conduct.
He was then suspended from MC and escorted off campus.
But Foote, who is known on campus for being an activist, said the allegations against him are false and that he is being punished for his "outspoken advocacy" for the student body.
"It pains me to no end knowing that I am being forced to take legal action against a school I love and respect so much," Foote told the Moorpark Acorn. "I worked so hard to find ways to lower or eliminate . . . unnecessary expenses and waste, (in hopes of) keeping as many classes open as possible.
"And now I am faced with the reality of costing my campus for conspiring to get rid of me by any means possible."
Last week Foote filed a writ of mandate lawsuit in Ventura County Superior Court to appeal his suspension from the college.
He asserts that the school handed down disciplinary actions without affording him legal due process.
Sequence of events
On Oct. 11, 2011, Foote met with Patricia Ewins, dean of student learning at MC, after noticing the Associated Students general fund was overdrawn by $868.61.
The account, funded by annual student ID fees, is generally used to pay for campus events and other student activities.
According to the account ledger, about $3,500 was billed to the account between July 15 and Aug. 31 in order to pay for more than 300 hours of student worker payroll during the summer semester.
Concerned about the large number of payroll hours—which Foote said were far more than the number of average work hours billed during the fall and spring semesters, when the campus is more active—he decided to bring the account to the attention of Ewins, who is in charge of signing the checks.
"When she realized I uncovered a possible violation and misappropriation of funds, she got very defensive and quite nasty with me," Foote said. "She basically threw me out of her office."
The day after the meeting, Foote said he was harassed by a MC police officer, who accused him of being intoxicated on campus. He told the Acorn he was not intoxicated and had actually been working on calculus homework with one of his professors.
"I was still president of the campus," he said. "So I felt a responsibility to go to the dean and explain what happened. I let her know that this seemed like retribution."
Shortly after the incident, Foote received a "letter of reprimand" from the school.
Then on Nov. 3, he received another warning letter for allegedly inciting a riot, he said
By January, Foote was removed from office.
And a Feb. 29 incident, during which the former student body president allegedly stole items from the school, earned him a suspension for the rest of the spring 2012 semester.
Foote said all the accusations against him are untrue.
Ewins and MC president Pam Eddinger said this week they could not comment on the issue because of federal student privacy laws governing disciplinary actions.
Support from faculty
Clint Harper, chair of the civics department and tenured professor at MC, said the accusations against Foote seem "dubious."
"Jonathan is not a typical student," Harper said. "When he ran for the position of student body president and won, he decided he would make something of the offi ce."
Harper, who received a signed release from Foote to speak with the media concerning the issue, said he is "distressed" about what seems to be happening to his former student.
"The allegation where police said he was inciting a riot, he was out there gathering signatures for a number of different causes, like asking about not increasing (tuition) fees on the students," Harper said. "He's very much an activist. This is something that is kind of unusual these days—someone who is that involved as a student."
Harper said that in his 34 years as a full-time professor at MC, he has never seen a situation get "out of hand" between students and the administration.
In supporting Foote, he also said he thinks the administrators handling the case are "decent, good people who made some mistakes" and are simply unwilling to admit it.
"Here's this amazing young fellow who comes in and really wants to make something," the professor said. "He just ran flat into a buzz saw."

Why the LOST Finale Was NOT Awful
As you well know, my wife and I are (and have been… and will continue to be…) die-hard fans of LOST on ABC. And, as you well know, last night was the epic conclusion to a beautiful story told over the course of 6 mind-bending seasons.
The backlash to the wrap-up of the story that is LOST has been pretty straight down the middle: people either loved it, or they hated it… and it seems so far to be about a 50/50 split.
Let me offer you 3 reasons why I believe the finale was brilliant, beautiful and fitting.
1.) The "Characters" Have Always Been More Important Than the "Mysteries"
LOST has thrived on it's ability to create a cast of characters that the viewers instantly fell in love with. Over the past 6 years, we have invested ourselves emotionally in the lives (backstory, forwardstory, sidestory) of Jack, Kate, Sawyer, Hurley and others. The writers primary purpose has always seemed to me to create compelling "characters" first, give them a compelling "story" second, and place them in a compelling "context" third. Last night was beautiful because it focused on giving us what was important: the characters. We got to witness the redemption and reunions of our favorite people (How could you NOT enjoy watching Jin and Sun get to see their baby? How could you remain unmoved when Charlie got to touch Claire and hold Aaron? Were you mad at your T.V. when Sawyer and Juliet planned their dutch coffee-date?). Any finale that focused more on the story and the context (the mysteries of the island) instead of the characters would have been infinitely more dissatisfying… I promise you.
2.) It is Better to Have Loved and LOST, then Never to Have Loved at All: The Sideways Reality
Say what you will about the Sideways-reality ending up being some sort of after-life experience (and yes, of course, this is important), but pause and reflect on what we SAW during that reality, and how that story line evolved. You have heard it said, "it is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all," and I think that the Sideways-reality is potentially the best depiction of this maxim. It seems that the Sideways-reality was a picture of what the characters life "would" have been had they not ever gone to the Island (or at least what they "thought" it would have been). And for each character, there seemed a strange tension of this non-island reality being both better and worse than the island-reality. But in the end, as each character had their moment of realization, their epiphanal-moment, it was as though they realized that although the island represented years of struggle, hardship, chaos, and loss, it ALSO represented years of love, beauty, relationships, trust and redemption. Talk to people who have gone through agonizing experiences and often times you'll find that in the end they wouldn't trade that experience for anything. The highest of highs in our life are often accompanied by, or a direct result of, the lowest of lows. And for our LOST characters, the Sideways-reality gave them a gift of seeing that ultimately the time on the Island was and is a better reality than one without it. They thought they would be better off having never been to the Island, but it turns out the exact opposite is true. Also, can I just say that I don't think it was a cop-out or a lame excuse for an ending to have the Sideways-reality be some sort of "after-life" experience? Like I've said before, the whole story was heading in the direction of some sort of sci-fi/fantasy/suspension-of-belief ending. There was going to be no logical or rationale conclusion. In fact, that is sort of one of the main points of the show: science vs faith, reason vs belief. ANY ending that was to merge the Sideways-reality with the Island-reality was going to force you to suspend belief, to just go-with-it.
3.) Answers are Overrated
For those frustrated that their questions weren't answered, let me ask you: how many of your questions would have had to been answered for you to feel satisfied? 3? 5? 17? Seriously, at what point would you have been happy? If you entered the finale thinking "they better answer all my questions," weren't you already setting yourself up to be disappointed? Besides, I think answers are often less fulfilling anyways than mystery, intrigue, and imagination. Chances are, if "answers" were what you had your hopes set on, I'm willing to wager that whatever "answer" was given wouldn't have been good enough. (Also, is it possible that you DID actually get an answer to your question, but you just aren't willing to accept it? Ex. Q) What was that pool of light that supposedly harnessed some strange energy and beauty? A) It was a pool of light, harnessing energy and beauty.) I think we are so used to getting everything figured out for us (i.e. shows like CSI, NCIS, Mentalist, House, etc, give you all the answers you need at the end of 60 minutes) that we forget what it's like to be left still wondering… to be left in that place of curiosity, intrigue, confusion. This is what the Socratic-method is all about: asking questions. That's when we learn best. The writers want US to wrestle with these mysteries. They don't want to just spoon feed us. Sure, we can feel robbed when it feels like major plot points are left untouched, or inconsistencies seem un-resolved. I get it. But it boils down to a our own willingness to be okay with not-knowing. Jesus himself taught in stories that often left his hearers more confused than before. They were forced to wrestle with his coded-sayings, his cryptic stories. He would have been less effective, less compelling, and probably less interesting had he just explained everything in easy to understand ways.
In the end, I feel like the biggest questions, the ones most important to the characters themselves, were answered sufficiently and beautifully. The Finale gave us powerful and meaningful moments with the characters. The Finale gave us memorable quotes (Hurley to Ben: Dude, you were a great #2. Ben to Hurley: And you were a great #1). The Finale gave us proper reunions. The Finale gave us wonderful pictures of sacrifice (Jack resetting the pool of light) and powerful moments of redemption.
I, for one, am proud to have been a part of LOST, and I'm proud of the way Lindelof and Cuse wrapped things up.
What about you?
Were you satisfied? Frustrated? Happy, sad?

One Response to "Why the LOST Finale Was NOT Awful"
Loved it. I that they focused on the characters. I love that I actually dreamt about the finale all night and woke up thinking about it. Does that happen if every question were answered like a teacher's copy of a math test? I think probably not. Afterall, it's the mysteries that drive this show to the following that it had. I think it would have been disingenuous to have just spelled it out or everyone. To take away all mystery would have been an insult to the community built around this show. I say well done, Darlton.
