Keith Combs Wins Toyota Texas Bass Classic in Dramatic Fashion
Combs Outlasts Mike Iaconelli in Sudden Death Fish-Off
CONROE—The Toyota Texas Bass Classic (TTBC), the world championship of professional bass fishing, had to go into overtime to crown a champion. Keith Combs of Huntington, Texas, outlasted Mike Iaconelli of Pittsgrove, New Jersey, in an unprecedented sudden death fish-off.
Both anglers caught record-setting three-day totals of 76 lbs. 12 oz. before finding out on stage at the final weigh-in that they were tied. The anglers were forced to go back onto the water where the first one to catch a legal 14-inch bass, verified by their on-the-water judge and tournament officials listening via cell phone, would be declared the winner.
During sudden death it took Combs 45 minutes to reel in the first catch, a 15-inch bass that was good enough for the title.
"I put everything into this, it's all I wanted to do," said Combs. "If it gets any better than this I will fall down and pass out."
Combs led the tournament wire-to-wire to earn $100,000 and a brand-new Legend boat powered by Evinrude. His day one five-bass limit total of 28 lbs. 8 oz. set a new tournament single-day record and he followed that with a 27 lb. 4 oz. bag on day two, which was the second-largest one-day total of the tournament.
For the second consecutive year Mike Iaconelli finished the runner-up. The excitable fan-favorite overcame a 4 lb. deficit going into the final day to bag a 25 lb. limit on Sunday that earned him a tie with Combs, but an eventual second-place finish.
Todd Auten of Lake Wylie, SC, the 2011 Bass Pro Shops PAA Tournament Series Angler of the Year, earned a third-place finish with a three-day total of 50 lbs., which was over 26 lbs. behind the leaders.
Combs also earned the ATX Wheels Big Bass Award for his 10 lb. 2 oz. catch on Friday. Combs will receive a set of four ATX Series wheels for his efforts.
The unique professional angling tournament focuses on conservation and features a catch and release program that highlights the efforts of Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. A generous donation of $250,000 was given to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department on behalf of the Toyota Texas Bass Classic to fund youth education and outreach programs. Over the past five years, $1.25 million has been donated to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department through the TTBC.
The TTBC featured an elite field of 50 anglers from around the world, including the best from the Walmart FLW Tour, Bassmaster Elite Series and Bass Pro Shops PAA Tournament Series. It is the only event in the sport of bass fishing that brings the top anglers together regardless of tour affiliation for a unifying world championship.
Fans at the Lone Star Convention & Expo Center in Conroe were treated to three days of first-class entertainment. In addition to daily weigh-ins, fans enjoyed three days of country music concerts and exhibits from over 70 local and national companies.
The Toyota Texas Bass Classic tournament functions are operated by the Professional Anglers Association with technical assistance and support from Texas Parks and Wildlife Department's Inland Fisheries Division. Title sponsor for the event is Toyota. Additional sponsors include Evinrude, IKON, Oakley, Carrot Stix, US Reel and Mustang CAT.

Mexican sentenced in plot to fly immigrants to S.A.
Updated 2:53 pm, Thursday, November 29, 2012
BROWNSVILLE — A Mexican man was sentenced to 16 months in federal prison for his role in a scheme to fly five Mexican immigrants — who authorities say were in the country illegally — to San Antonio on a charter plane.
Federal officials at the McAllen-Miller International Airport spotted Jorge Luis Gallegos-Avila, 39, of Tampico, Mexico, dropping the immigrants off at the airport on June 20, and officials then boarded the plane and detained the immigrants.
The immigrants identified Gallegos as one of the men who picked them up after they crossed the Rio Grande. They said he maintained them in stash houses before driving them to the airport with instructions to say they were U.S. citizens if questioned.
News Channel
Chief U.S. District Judge Ricardo Hinojosa sentenced Gallegos-Avila on Wednesday.

DETROIT - The Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute (KCI) has announced its new app to help physicians and healthcare professionals become aware of cutting-edge cancer clinical trials, often available only at Karmanos. The KCI Trials App is free and available on the App Store? for the iPhone® and iPad®.
"It is important that physicians are familiar with new treatment options available through our Clinical Trials Program at the Karmanos Cancer Institute," said Connie Claybaker, associate center director, Research Administration, Karmanos Cancer Institute.
According to Claybaker, Karmanos' clinical trials portfolio includes some of the most exciting new investigational agents for cancer patients. The scientific advances Karmanos researchers make every day bring safe and ground breaking treatments from the laboratory bench to the patient's bedside, defining the new standards of cancer care.
"The ultimate goal is to make it as easy as possible for referring physicians and other healthcare professionals to find a clinical trial that may benefit their patients," said Karmanos' Anthony Shields, M.D., Ph.D., associate center director, Clinical Sciences. "With this app, a physician could be meeting with the patient and quickly identify a clinical trial that offers a possible new treatment for consideration."
The new app allows users to search for cancer clinical trials by disease site, keyword, protocol number, phase, or principal investigator. The information displayed for each trial includes the title, objective, principal investigator, disease sites, drugs involved, and eligibility criteria. Plus, users have the option to save protocol information to their 'favorites' and email protocol information to a colleague or patient directly from the app.
Additional features include buttons to call and email Karmanos Cancer Institute directly, information about Phase I studies offered and links to National Cancer Instituteresources about cancer.
The KCI Trials app is now available on the App Store? and users may search KCI Trials to download the app. An Android version is expected to be available by early 2014. For more information, please visit www.karmanos.org/KCITrials or call 1-800-526-6266.

Three moms, all employees of the NorthBay Healthcare system, are pleading for the public's help in donating blood, as the precious liquid helped wrest their children from the clutches of a rare condition.
At a recent meeting of Soroptimist International of Vacaville, Beth Gladney, Dana Aleman and Leticia DeGracia shared their experiences of dealing with children suffering from Kawasaki Disease. The condition, according to the Kawasaki Disease Foundation, primarily affects young children under the age of 5, is more common in boys, is not contagious and is more prevalent in those of Asian and Pacific Island descent.
An estimated 4,200 children are diagnosed each year.
The disease is characterized by an inflammation of blood vessels throughout the body. According to the Foundation, the condition can cause abnormalities in the coronary arteries and other parts of the heart. It is also believed to be the leading cause of heart disease in children.
"The consequences are so real if our kids go undiagnosed," said Aleman, a Fairfield resident and phlebotomy tech at NorthBay Medical Center in that city. She is also the mom of Levi, who was 4 when he was diagnosed two years ago.
Levi presented with flu-like symptoms, she said, his tongue resembling a strawberry, a high fever for five days, a rash on his little body. Eventually diagnosed with Kawasaki Disease, he went into heart failure at the University of California, Davis, Medical Center in Sacramento. Aleman was advised to call loved ones, and officials called a pastor to be with the family.
"I thought I was going to lose my son that night," she said tearfully.
But he bounced back, thanks to treatment by way of an IV of immunoglobulin (IVIG). It's created from 1,000 blood units, which means it takes 1,000 people to create one treatment. Levi needed two infusions.
"It took 2,000 blood donors to save my son's life," she confirmed.
DeGracia, a Sacramento resident and a phlebotomy tech at VacaValley Hospital, shared a similar experience. Her daughter, Jacqueline, was almost 15 months old when diagnosed with the disease four months ago.
Baby Jacqueline's fever refused to break, she vomited continuously, developed a rash on her tiny body and her lips were red, swollen with blisters.
"You could just see how sick she was by looking into her eyes," DeGracia remembered.
The infant received similar treatment and eventually was nursed back to health.
"It took 2,000 blood donors to save my daughter's life and her precious little heart," emphasized DeGracia. "If not treated within 10 days it can affect the heart. ... Our goal is to promote awareness."
Vacaville resident Gladney, an ICU nurse and clinical practice manager at NorthBay, said her son's situation was the same as those of the other youths. On Labor Day about a year ago, Eric, then 7, had a sore stomach, eventually stopped eating and drinking and his multi-day fever spiked to 103 degrees. He developed a rash, joint pain and other symptoms. Once in the hospital at Travis Air Force Base, tests revealed Levi's heart rate was high, his blood pressure a low 70/40.
"I'm a nurse and I missed this," she said, pausing for breath.
At Children's Hospital in Oakland, it was discovered that the child's liver and kidneys were enlarged , his blood pressure had bottomed out. Finally diagnosed with Kawasaki, Eric received one IVIG treatment and was revived.
"My son, he only needed one dose of IVIG but between us, it took 5,000 units to save our kids' lives," Gladney pointed out.
"We want to give back and be there for other mothers," DeGracia chimed in.
Gladney agreed.
"It feels good to be able to help somebody else because when you're in the moment and you're experiencing it, you don't think of how many people it took to help your kids," she added.
The women hope to promote awareness, raise money for research and rally donors to provide enough blood for any child who needs an IVIG treatment. There's also the potential for starting up a support group, they said.
The moms ask anyone who is able to participate in blood drives on Monday (Oct. 28) and Tuesday.
NorthBay is sponsoring the events in partnership with BloodSource.
On Monday, participants can give blood from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. at the Bloodmobile in the Solano Town Center parking lot in Fairfield across from NorthBay Medical Center. Appointments can be made online at www.bloodsource.org/drives. The location code is H101.
For information, call Rowena Vince Cruz at 646-5197 or Katie Lydon at 646-5484.
On Tuesday, participants can give blood from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. at the VacaValley Hospital Campus, VacaValley Health Plaza, Suite 240m 1000 Nut Tree Rd. in Vacaville. Appointments can be made online at www.bloodsource.org/drives. The location code is H100.
For more information, call Rowena Vince Cruz at 646-5197.
All participants are asked to eat and drink before donating and to bring a picture ID. All will also receive a special "Pay It Forward" T-shirt.
For more information on Kawasaki Disease, go to the Kawasaki Disease Foundation site at http://www.kdfoundation.org/.

Sheriff padlocks North Huntingdon lounge
Three people were arrested in a raid at a North Huntingdon lounge, which was padlocked Friday and it was declared a public nuisance.
About 30 officers were involved in executing a search warrant leading to the arrest of three people for alleged drug dealing and prostitution at Gloria's Cantina Lounge, 14289 Route 30, Thursday night.
Westmoreland County Judge Gary Caruso signed a temporary injunction Friday declaring the lounge a "public nuisance which threatens the peace, safety and public welfare and morals of the commonwealth."
Judge Richard McCormick Jr. will hold a hearing Tuesday to determine if the lounge should remain closed.
Sheriff Jonathan Held padlocked the lounge Friday afternoon and a sheriff's deputy posted the court order on the door.
Arrested Thursday night were Nathan Edward Moore, 34, of 484 Third St., Apt. 5, Pitcairn, who is charged with six counts of drug possession with intent to deliver; Ashlee Nicole Campbell, 30, of 143 North Ave., Apt. 1, East Pittsburgh, who is charged with one count of drug possession with intent to deliver; and Selene Amber Vicini, 35, of 531 Case St., Apt. 8, Rochester, Beaver County, who is charged with one count of prostitution.
The charges resulted after a three-month investigation at the gentlemen's club by undercover officers, state police said.
Police executed a search warrant at the lounge about 10:30 p.m. Thursday, when the three suspects were arrested. Police said they seized video recording equipment and address books.
At a news conference, North Huntingdon Detective Sgt. Jeffrey Bouldin said investigators acquired the warrant to investigate allegations of prostitution, which subsequently spawned a drug investigation.
The court order cited the current arrests as well as an incident in 2011 when one man shot another in the men's bathroom at Gloria's with a 9mm handgun.
"We've had numerous incidents and actually numerous complaints about activity that takes place out there," Bouldin said. "With the prostitution suspected, drug activity, gun activity, it is a concern for us as a police department and a concern for the welfare of the people that live in North Huntingdon Township."
On Aug. 22, an undercover trooper spoke with Campbell, also known as "Arial," who later offered Vicodin or Percocet to the officer for $5 each, according to court documents. A few minutes later, Campbell gave the trooper seven pills in exchange for $25.
During an arraignment before North Huntingdon District Judge Doug Weimer, Campbell said she takes Percocet for back pain because five years ago she was struck by a bus.
On Sept. 5, an undercover officer was approached by dancers at Gloria's and they "talked very explicitly about sex," according to an affidavit of probable cause.
Two dancers asked if the trooper was interested in getting a private room where "there were no cameras and 'anything goes,'" it said.
Vicini, a dancer who introduced herself as "Samantha Rose," talked with the officer and offered a private room, police said.
Vicini told the officer to pay the bartender $60, then the officer was taken by the hand upstairs to a private room, the affidavit said. The woman tried to initiate a sex act, it said. She asked for a tip for her "dance" and the officer gave her $30, according to police.
Between Sept. 20 and Oct. 11, undercover officers bought suspected cocaine six times from Moore at Gloria's Cantina, police alleged.
Each time, Moore was paid $100 and officers received varying amounts of what was purported to be cocaine, police said. On one occasion, however, the suspected cocaine was counterfeit.
On Oct. 10, they were greeted by Moore, also known as "Bam," who waved for an officer to follow him into the bathroom at Gloria's, according to an affidavit. Moore walked behind a bathroom partition and said "You're gonna like this, I just got it. It's fire," then handed over a bag of cocaine, police said.
Vicini is free on $5,000 bond. Moore and Campbell are being held in the county prison. Moore's bail was set at $150,000; Campbell's at $25,000.
Weimer has scheduled preliminary hearings for the three suspects on Nov. 19.
In addition to the state police vice unit, assisting township police were the state attorney general's Drug Task Force and Liquor Control Enforcement officers.
District Attorney John Peck said this is the 12th nuisance bar in Westmoreland County he has sought to close in his 16 years in office and the first in North Huntingdon. Most of the others were in the Monessen and New Ken-sington areas , he said.

The entire list
Hilal TV, December 27-2008
Adnan Oktar: If the Islamic-Union does not settle down right away,it seems that there will be great adversities and difficulties. What I mean is that; the Turkish-Islamic Union is the only salvation of both Turkey and the Turkish World. The delay about this issue may bring great responsibilities. It is such a kind of a situation that requires great conscientious responsibility - they separated us from our siblings – why we are separated from Azerbaijan, why we are separated from Turkmenistan, why we are separated from Kazakhistan. I mean; is it possible to be separated from Konya and Izmir? That is as irrational as this. Passports and visas have to be lifted, border gates must be opened. These are valid for Armenia, Georgia, Lithuania and Israel as well. All of those are like Great Ottoman Union InshaAllah; within a nice union, composing a Turkish-Islamic Union but composing a modern Turkish-Islamic Union; we will characterize with a happy, a comfortable and a rich structure.
Denge TV, December 9-2008
Adnan Oktar: I haven't seen any Islamic Country which doesn't accept the leadership of Turkey. Also, I haven't seen any Turkish state which doesn't accept the leadership of Turkey until now. Kazakhistan has recently said that; they want the leadership of Turkey. All the Turkish States want the leadership of Turkey. Azerbaijan is willing to see this; even Armenia wants to unite with Turkey. They say that; we should remove the borders. Obviously, they are encouraged and they have this idea after reading our notes and comments. Armeni, Georgia, Lithuania and even Russia will be in the Turkish Union - in the Turkish –Islamic Union InshaAllah.

Tracking the Lynx
Keeping up with SiriusXM's go-everywhere satellite radio
Zak Billmeier grew up in southern Vermont and coastal Maine. After graduating from Mary Washington College with a Geography degree he still isn't sure quite what to do with, he eventually settled in the mountains of Central Virginia. He spends his free time chasing his daughter around, taking pictures, gardening and cooking. He joined Crutchfield's car A/V writing team in 2007 and is now a lead producer on our video team.
More from Zak Billmeier
Heads up!Welcome to this article from the Crutchfield archives. Have fun reading it, but be aware that the information may be outdated and links may be broken.
A fun, portable, practical touchscreen satellite radio
The SiriusXM Lynx is one cool cat. It lets you take SiriusXM with you everywhere you go, whether you're relaxing at home, out for a jog, or driving your car. It's small, easy to carry, and fun to use. And it's also very versatile — you can listen to live satellite radio while it's docked, listen to SiriusXM Internet Radio over Wi-Fi®, and play your MP3s.
We gave J.R., a Supervisor in Crutchfield's Advisor group and long-time satellite radio fan, a Lynx to check out recently. He took it with him everywhere he went, and let us know what he thought. One of his favorite features: "I really like that it has built-in Wi-Fi, because it gives me access to all the SiriusXM channels I can only get on the Internet."
SiriusXM Lynx
The Lynx features a beautiful touchscreen and an intuitive interface. You can listen live over the air with an optional kit, or over a Wi-Fi® network. And you can stream audio to the home dock or compatible headphones with the built-in Bluetooth® connectivity.
The Lynx records your favorite channels automatically while you're receiving a live satellite radio signal, storing up to 200 hours of entertainment.
J.R.'s verdict: this one's one-of-a-kind
J.R. has been a satellite radio subscriber for a long, long time, and he's owned his share of radios. For him, the Lynx fits in its own category. "No other satellite radio can do what the Lynx does — especially Wi-Fi capability. For me, that's what really sets it apart." He's also been using it in the home dock. "I'm teaching a training class, and I set up the Lynx so the class could listen to SiriusXM. I even ran an antenna up on the roof to get a live signal. It'll be tough to give up the Lynx when my trial period is over."

Everything you need to know before you upgrade your jeans game for the new seasonMore
Shopping for jeans used to be easy. They were blue or black (mostly). They had five pockets (always). And they fit the way jeans were supposed to fit (which is to say they either fit or they didn't, and that was more or less that). Now, today, in 2012, it is not easy to shop for jeans. At all. There are so many choices involved (color, cuts, finishes, etc.) that anyone who just wants to buy a pair of jeans — a normal pair of jeans — can be driven to confusion or, worse, track pants. J. Crew men's-wear designer Frank Muytjens knows the frustration, and for spring, he's partnered with Lee, a pioneer of American denim, to reimagine Lee's classic 101 B's. The new 101 B's are straight leg, medium rise, and made from rinsed Japanese selvage denim, and they have the same no-frills details as Lee's original 101 B's from 1924. If you're looking for something more specific in the way of fit, finishing, or wash, we've got you covered on the following pages. But if you're only after a pair of classic, well-cut jeans, look no further.
Cotton jeans ($220) by Lee for J. Crew; leather jacket ($580) by G-Star Raw Denim; cotton T-shirt ($45) by Life/After/Denim; suede shoes ($135) by Johnston & Murphy; leather belt ($385) by Brunello Cucinelli.
Because the fit determines how they feel. How they feel determines how you look. And how you look is what good jeans are all about. Choose the fit accordingly.
Slim Fit
Slim. Not skinny. Anything skinny and you're in jeggings territory. Instead, slim-fit jeans should slightly hug the thighs, knees, and calves while loosening up around your ankles. The presence of fabric against your calf might take getting used to, but how they look — crisp, sharp, clean — makes it worth it.

One win down.

I'm allowed to dream, right? As a Hoyas fan, a Mets fan and a Redskins fan, I'm not often in this position. You know, the position of rooting for a team that's very good.
One win down.
Only 15 more to go.
I'm allowed to dream, right? As a Hoyas fan, a Mets fan and a Redskins fan, I'm not often in this position. You know, the position of rooting for a team that's very good.
That's what it is to be a fan of the Knicks, New York's team that's found a way to break hearts in every season since 1973. I mean, we're still holding on to the image of Willis Reed limping out of the tunnel of Madison Square Garden.
My Knicks destroyed the Boston Celtics on Saturday to start the NBA playoffs. Actually, 85-78 was the final. But what's a little exaggeration for a fan of the Knicks? We finally have a shot at making at least the Eastern Conference finals. We finally have a team capable of making a run. We finally have a superstar in Carmelo Anthony, a defensive stalwart in Tyson Chandler, a wily old veteran in Jason Kidd, a coach who isn't comatose on the sidelines in Mike Woodson.
Our front office isn't paying Stephon Marbury, or Clarence Weatherspoon, or Luc Longley millions of undeserved dollars. Isaiah Thomas isn't sullying our good name with scandal and terrible moves. We finally aren't a laughingstock. Heck, it only took 15 years to transition from the 1990s Knicks to now. It's been a long road.
Of course, I brought all of this up in the office of The Salt Lake Tribune and found myself being laughed at, my optimism mocked. I take this time to remind everyone that they mocked Noah too, all before begging for a spot on the ark before the skies opened.
I know the Miami Heat loom, LeBron James a gigantic roadblock to championship glory. But the Knicks have handled the Heat in the regular season. No need to believe it can't be done in the playoffs.
People will scoff at this prediction, this I know. But fan interest has taken a tough road lately. Georgetown was embarrassed in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. The Redskins were bounced early by the Seattle Seahawks, and have a gimpy Robert Griffin III. My New York Mets only traded away the best pitcher in baseball last season.
As a result? I'm due. The sporting higher beings have to reward me, and it starts with the Knicks. So, one down and only 15 more to go. The goal is the NBA title. I'm giving everyone the chance to hop on the bandwagon now.
There's plenty of room.

Question about using multiple processors in Gui mode for "form union" operation

Question about using multiple processors in Gui mode for "form union" operation
I am currently working in the RF module on a cluster. Right now, I'm working with a very large geometry (large in that it contains many domains). It is so large that it takes a very long time for the "form union" operation to be performed. I've tried simplifying the final union operation by first doing several ordinary union operations with "keep interior boundaries" checked, the idea being to split up the process into several steps. That helped to an extent. Each one of these operations would run in a day or so, but now, it seems to have stopped working.
My question is, is there any way to use multiple processors for things like "form union" or other geometrical operations, or can that only be done for meshing and solving? I've tried it in batch mode and it only seemed to use one processor, even though I assigned it many. I'm currently using one node of the cluster with 48 processors. In earlier models, multiple processors were being used, but that was apparently for solving and meshing.
Now, I'm using the Gui mode in a torque shell on the cluster, but it's the same story. I assigned all of the 48 processors to the shell and then opened Comsol in it with the switches " -nn 1 -np 48". When I look at the usage stats, its using one processor to 100% capacity and not using the others at all. Its also using only about 11 gigs of RAM while 256 gigs are available.
Is there anything I can do to take advantage of the resources, or is that not possible for geometrical or other pre-processing operations?
Thank you in advance for any input,
A. J. Thomas

Re: Question about using multiple processors in Gui mode for "form union" operation
from my knowledge COMSOL uses multiple processors when available, so corollary, if only 1 is running for the geometry processing then its programmed that way. Not all algorithm might be parallelised either. But I know from the COMSOL conference presentations that they are working on the aspect to parallelised more of their code.
When I work with huge models (>800 domains) I tend to turn off the auto-update of the plots, and off the model tree auto-update, which means I must regularly perform a manual refresh, that can indeed take 5-10 minutes
Good luck

Did you know?
Prince Albert's original 1912 village cinema is now the village theatre.
When Queen Victoria agreed in 1845 that a tiny village in the Karoo should be named after her consort – his Royal Highness, Prince Albert – she could never have guessed that one day he would also give his name to the Prince Albert Ghost Walk.
The Prince Albert Ghost Walk is one of South Africa's loveliest, because not only are the ghosts all amiable and approachable, but you'll also walk through little streets unchanged over the centuries, past buildings full of history, amid the beauty of this Karoo village.
Ailsa Thudhope, your guide, is an expert on the friendly phantoms, and will introduce you to the doomed bride, killed in a cart accident on the eve of her wedding, who flits happily around the parlour of the house that is now the Fransie Pienaar Museum.
Be sure to wave back if you see the elderly gentleman who greets pretty ladies from the veranda of a house in Mark Street. When new owners took over the house and filled the veranda with bookshelves, our ghostly geriatric threw books on the floor in disapproval. When the owners politely remonstrated with him, he politely desisted.
Another sociable spirit haunts the house of Dr Mearns, who in 1901 treated Boer Commando Gideon Scheepers, after he was wounded by a British bullet during the Anglo-Boer War. No one is quite sure why, but a young lady in a white nightie, with lace at her throat and tiny buttons down her front, bounces on the bed of Mearns House, the former home of the distinguished doctor.
Was it a ghost or UFO that was sighted northeast of the village between 1940 and 1960? There are still some folk alive in Prince Albert who saw that mysterious 'eye' and tell tales of the ghostly encounter.

About This Performance
German Romanticism in the 19th century was based on an almost mystical conception of art as a path to transcendent worlds of the imagination, created by the artist's authentic expression of personal experience and emotion. Music became the quintessential Romantic art, and even Brahms' classicizing take on the concerto – itself a prime Romantic vehicle in its opposition of individual and social efforts – is an exemplar of the indefinable range of the period and style.
Come for:
Two good friends, both musical dynamos, in one of the greatest violin concertos ever written.

Jim Bernhard, chairman and chief executive officer of The Shaw Group Inc., has purchased the downtown property on River Road that Richard Preis had long planned for his residential tower, One River Place.
Bernhard would not comment on the purchase, which he made through New Investments LLC for $3.3 million, other than to say the 55,000 square feet of riverfront property between Lafayette and Main streets represents a chance for him to invest in the future of Baton Rouge and Louisiana.
Other properties on the block are a residence on Main Street and Azteca's Mexican Cuisine at Lafayette and Main. Architect Trey Trahan owns the undeveloped southern portion of the block and is reported to be involved in plans for the development of the site, though Trahan did not return a call for comment Wednesday.
Preis, who recently completed his involvement in the nearby Hampton Inn and Suites across Lafayette Street, said the offer to buy the property at market rate came last month. He and business partner Joe Traigle agreed they'd be willing to sell if a cash deal could close by the end of the year, for tax purposes.
"It was the right price and the right person, who has a high energy level for downtown, as I do," Preis said. "It was a good buy and a good sell. And I come from an old school, where that's how it should happen."
Preis said he still believes in riverfront development downtown, noting when he announced One River Place a decade ago it was because Baton Rouge was one of the largest cities on the Mississippi River that didn't have residential development along the waterfront.
As he has noted in the past, Preis said Hurricane Katrina and the financial crisis hamstrung his efforts to get his 17-story office and condo tower developed.
Davis Rhorer, executive director of the Downtown Development District, said the DDD welcomes the purchase and any development that might come from it.
"Obviously, we are excited about this investment in downtown Baton Rouge," Rhorer said. "This piece of property is a prime piece of real estate on the river and is primed for future development. We're happy to work with developers as the project might move forward."

Science Shots, 27 March 2006. (whole item quoted) "Lefties unite! It's the rare marine snail whose shell coils to the left rather than the right. It's even rarer for these lefties to find a similarly whorled mate. But they do have one advantage over their dextral (righty) counterparts: Analyses of shell scars (dark line) on several fossilized snail species—telltale evidence of crab attacks—indicate that left-coiling morphs are better at cheating death. According to a report published online 21 March in Biology Letters, predatory crabs tend to be right-handed too, making it tough for them to open a left-coiling shell."
Editorial Comment: This study does seem to indicate that left handed snails have a survival advantage over right handed ones, therefore, if survival of the fittest is supposed to explain why animals have particular characteristics, we wonder why most snails are not left handed. (Ref. evolution, fossils)

Question for the Money Doctors
Question submitted on Aug 22, 2013.
QuestionI have to rollover an old 403b in the amount of approximately $5,000. I want to roll it over into my ROTH IRA. I am 51 years old. What are the pros and cons of this move?
It depends on your tax bracket. If you are in a lower tax bracket, you will pay a small amount of tax. If you are in a higher bracket, you will incur greater taxation. The benefit over the long run is that your account will grow tax free.
It is good to consider the benefits of having a mixture of tax deferred and tax free retirement accounts. How one selects how to fund each will depend on personal facts and ircumstances and amounts accumulated in the various accounts to date. Decisions should be made within the context of Your personal financial plan.

Avian influenza is a strain of
influenza virus
that primarily infects birds. It is often called the bird flu.
In Asia and Africa, there have been cases of avian influenza that have the ability to infect humans.
The most significant of these avian influenza strains is called H5N1. This strain can cause serious illness and death.
Avian influenza is caused by a specific influenza type A virus. The virus is common among wild and domestic birds, but rarely infects humans. Occasionally, the virus can mutate which allows it to infect humans.
The virus is passed through contact with an infected bird's:
Avian influenza is not contracted through eating well-cooked poultry or eggs. The virus rarely passes from one human to another. When it does, it is usually a weakened version of the virus. Infections are being monitored to see if the virus mutates in a way that allows it to easily pass between humans.
Close contact with infected poultry increases your chance of avian influenza. This may include domestic or wild ducks, geese, chickens, or turkeys.
Your chance of infection is also increased with
recent travel to an area known to have avian influenza. Avian influenza outbreaks are most common in Asia, the Middle East, and northeast Africa.
Symptoms of avian influenza may include:
More severe infections can lead to
pneumonia or serious organ failure.
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. You will be asked if you have had close contact with infected poultry or have recently traveled to an area known to have avian influenza.
Nasal or respiratory secretions or blood can be tested for the presence of the virus.
Antiviral medications can help decrease your symptoms and the length of time you are sick. They do not cure the flu. The sooner the medication is started the more effective it can be. Ideally, the medication should be started within 48 hours of the first symptoms.
The overall risk of getting avian flu is small.
Steps to help you reduce your risk include:
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has a vaccine to protect against H5N1 in adults aged 18-64. It will be made available in the event of an outbreak. Vaccinations can protect the individual and may control the spread of the infection.

Boss Kim Harris may have missed Corinthian Casuals' crucial midweek win
at bottom-club Three Bridges, but it turned out he was not needed as his team drew inspiration from an unlikely source.
Casuals, minus their manager due to health reasons, came from 1-0 down to triumph 2-1 last Tuesday thanks to goals from James Cottee and Joe Hicks.
The late cancellation of Sussex-based League One side Crawley Town's home clash with Preston North End meant more than 40 frustrated Lancastrians took the chance to cheer Harris's men on to the points.
The win was even more significant given Saturday's 1-0 home defeat to Walton & Hersham four days later and the former Kingstonian boss, who was absent from the dugout in Sussex having been in hospital for an operation earlier in the day, could not have been more appreciative.
"I wasn't there, but apparently there was quite a big crowd because the Crawley game was called off at the last minute," he said.
"Tony Davies, Luke Garrard, Paul Stewart and Bryan Adamson – who looked after the team for me brilliantly – said there were loads of Preston fans cheering us on.
"And with the Crawley fans cheering for Three Bridges it was a great atmosphere, which helped us. I don't worry about the League, but it was a big win for us."
Harris may yet need a more serious operation, but until then he is looking forward to his side's perennial battle against the Ryman Division One South drop with relish.
"I'm really looking forward to the second half of the season," he added.
"We've got kids at the back. The average age is 21 and with so little experience they are doing a fantastic job.
"Young James Cottee is only 19 years old, but he is top draw. He went off to Met Police for a contract, but has come back to us because he wasn't getting a game."

LAMB FC entertained Semington Magpies at Whaddon Lane in midweek and it was Tony Stevens' hosts who came out on top as they edged a seven-goal thriller to keep their slim hopes of finishing as Division One runners up alive.
Lamb who just a few years ago were the whipping boys in Division Three, have made giant strides and after back-to-back promotions, they have a real chance of beating both North Bradley and Westbury United Reserves to second spot.
Tom Blackman gave Lamb the perfect start when he put them one-up but they saw their early advantage wiped out when Dan Rimmer restored parity for Magpies.
Bradley King-Taylor restored the Lamb's lead and a second for Blackman that took his tally for the season to 20 gave the home team a 3-1 interval lead.
After the break Lamb picked up where they left off from and a second from Bradley King-Taylor should have put the game to bed and the points should have be secured.
However, a battling Magpies side fought their way back into the game and reduced the deficit when Andy Harrison scored from the penalty spot.
Things became slightly nervous for The Lamb when a second from Harrison reduced the gap to the odd goal.
Magpies really should have stolen a point from the game as they missed three good chances in the closing stages.

Before I go on my rant, I want to make it clear that I am very glad that I am a part of this digital humanities seminar, and that it is proving to be a learning experience in all sorts of ways. However, that said, I'm finding myself irritable this week after doing the reading, and not for the usual reasons. I'm irritable because I actually really liked it.
So why, you might be wondering, would that make me irritable? Am I such a contrary person that liking something would make me annoyed?
Sort of. Reading this chapter by Bean (I have resisted making Mr. Bean jokes) about formal writing assignments had a lot of food for thought. It brought up all sorts of possibilities – many which are of no use to me – but a few which are. What was so fantastic, was an actual conversation about teaching techniques. Not something any of us outside of education are taught.
This, this type of content, is what I hope to see at every faculty development day. Presentations for different approaches to generating learning outcomes. This is why I keep grousing about having a faculty lounge. Because it is so rare for faculty to have a chance to sit down and just talk about what approaches work for them, to brainstorm ideas, to share successes and failures, to learn from each other.
It's great that we have the digital humanities seminar. Now I'd like a pedagogy seminar. Every few years. For all faculty that want to participate. This should be a part of the grand revolution in academia. Instead of obsessing over assessment and cookie cutter learning outcomes we should be getting together to discuss the best way to get students thinking critically about content.
Even though this book is clearly dated – Pabst has made a resounding come back thanks to the hipster culture – it provides much food for thought. For me the biggest questions now are how I frame the assignment for my Sociology of Aging course. Do I make a digital component (e.g. a photoshopped image, a home video, or an audio recording) mandatory? Do I have multiple stages starting with a two to three paragraph statement of purpose? How will peer feedback work, and will they get graded on the quality of feedback they give their classmates?
I think I may have to buy this book, or hopefully a more current version of it. And maybe I can turn it into some powerpoints and offer that as a workshop during our faculty development days, because I have a lot of colleagues who could either use the coherency of this or could benefit from a discussion about this content.

These A-listers give us the scoop on what it's really like to be a parent
'Artists raise their kids differently,' says Angelina Jolie, mother of six. 'We communicate to the point where we probably annoy our children. We have art around the house, we have books, we go to plays, we talk. Our focus is art and painting and dress-up and singing. It's what we love. So I think you can see how artists in some way raise other artists.' (Vanity Fair)
(Thibault Camus/AP)
'When you have children, you get to see things all over again,' says Halle Berry, mother of Nahla. 'So I've never laughed as hard, I've never done more silly things. And I go to great lengths to make my daughter laugh.' (Contactmusic.com)
'Violet is the most beautiful thing,' says Jennifer Garner, mother of Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel. 'Just that she exists and I get to hang out with her. I think that I can read her mind because I'm with her all the time. Then she'll do something off the wall and surprising. There's no one who is more fun.' (Just Jared)
(John Shearer/AP)
'Every morning when I wake her up, the end game is, Can I get her to smile?,' says Drew Barrymore, mother of baby, Olive. 'And that puts me in a good mood. It's definitely a different way to live — and a much better one.' (Good Housekeeping)
(Chris Pizzello/AP)
'I think every working mom probably feels the same thing: You go through big chunks of time where you're just thinking, This is impossible — oh, this is impossible,' says Tina Fey, mother of Alice and Penelope. 'And then you just keep going and keep going, and you sort of do the impossible.' (Good Housekeeping)
(Matt Sayles/AP)
'The ultimate satisfaction for me is being with my son,' Megan Fox, mother of Noah, says. 'All I wanted to do my whole, whole life was to have a baby and, now, I've finally done it.' (Marie Claire)
'It is the most powerful creation to have life growing inside of you,' says, Beyoncé, mother of Blue Ivy. 'There is no bigger gift.' (Associated Press)
'I'll probably be a little bit hippie and a little bit Type A,' says Christina Applegate mother of Sadie Grace. 'I'll take from what my mother did, which was way hippie and like, Do what you wanna do, and bring some things that I know from watching my friends raise their kids. An amalgamation of sorts.' (People)
(Chris Pizzello/AP)
'When you first have a baby your life doesn't change,' says Gwen Stefani, mother of Kingston and Zuma. 'I mean, you have a little less sleep and you drag these cuddly things around you and it's just amazing. But you still get to be you. Once they get to, like, five, six and school and it starts to, get, like, Wow, they got real problems. They're my responsibility. Oh my God. That is overwhelming.' (Music-News)
'I've learned so much from being a mom about the kind of person I want to be, the kind of woman I want to be,' said, Gwenyth Paltrow, mother of Apple and Moses. 'Motherhood has taught me mindfulness. If you just parent on instinct, you'll screw your kid up for life. You have to be so mindful.' (Good Housekeeping)
'Working in Hollywood is more of a diversion for me now,' says Reese Witherspoon, mother of Ava, Deacon and Tennessee James. 'I still love acting, but my full-time job is being a mother. I like being home when they wake up, make their breakfast, take them to school, help them with their homework, and enjoying dinner, and putting them to bed. That's my real job!' (Yahoo)
'Children orientate towards examples,' says Kate Winslet, mother of Mia and Joe. 'That's why I talk solely positive about my body in front of my daughter. I say things like Hey, look at my strong arms! Or I shake my butt and say Look at my fabulous butt! I do that deliberately.' (Brigitte)

Prepare the marinade by blending the shoyu, water, malt syrup, garlic, olive oil and lemon juice. Pour into a shallow baking dish. If using bamboo skewers, soak them in water for 20 minutes before using to prevent them from burning on the grill. Place equal portions of all vegetables and seitan chunks on the skewers. Place the skewers in the marinade, turning them periodically, and allow to marinate for 20 minutes. Place kebobs on a grill rack and brush them with remaining marinade. Cook about 5 minutes, turning occasionally. Remove and place on a serving platter. Delicious served with Eden's Minted Quinoa with Crunchy Pine Nuts. Please see recipe.
Tofu, tempeh or seafood may be substituted for the seitan in this recipe. If using tempeh, boil for 15 minutes before grilling.

What are Invasive species or "Invaders"?
Invasive species are plants, animals or other organisms that are growing outside of their country or region of origin and are out-competing or even replacing native organisms. Since they come from ecosystems in other parts of the world,"unwanted invaders" escape their natural enemies. They have a distinct advantage over our native species whose populations are kept in check by native predators, competitors, or disease.
Prevention, early detection and rapid response are critical for saving habitats from invasive species.
You can do your part by reporting any sightings of unwanted invaders to the Invasive Species Council of Manitoba at (204) 232-6021.
Invasive species can result in the loss of unique ecosystems and native species... (more)

A CLUB which assists blind and partially-sighted people in and around Malvern is looking for volunteer drivers.
The club, which has been active since the 1950s, is the local branch of Sight Concern Worcestershire.
It is behind the Talking Newspaper, which provides an audio version of the Malvern Gazette every week to people with sight problems.
It also runs a Wednesday club which meets fortnightly at Christchurch Hall, Avenue road, Malvern, and which is highly popular.
Pauline Cooper of the club said: "Members are collected by volunteers who are then entertained and given a home-made tea before being taken home.
"Many members are regular attendees, enabling them to get out, chat, make new friends and swap their talking books."
The club also organises outings, including theatre trips, regular fish-and-chip lunches and shopping trips.
"Some of our regular drivers have had to give up because of age or health, so we're currently looking for new volunteers to help our blind members get to and from the club."
She said the commitment can be flexible, but typically involves collecting people from their homes and taking them to the club, and taking them home later.
The club has about 220 members and is supported by donations, and fundraising activities include regular collections, coffee mornings, an annual garden party and attendance at Malvern's charity Christmas fair.
Anyone interested should contact Mrs Cooper on 01684 310405.

Perhaps you've tried gardening in the past and were disappointed with the results. If that's the case, you might be skeptical—could Tower Garden really be any different? Well, yes, actually.
Listen, here's what you need to grow a Tower Garden: sunlight (or grow lights), electricity, water, roughly 30 minutes a week and about three square feet. Notice, we didn't list "previous gardening experience."
Seriously. It's that simple. And should it ever seem more complicated, you'll have access to an extensive library of growing resources and support from a dedicated customer care team.
We're in this together.
Growing a traditional soil garden isn't cheap. To do things right, you may need to invest in compost, fertilizers, pest control solutions, irrigation systems and premium soil. (Who knew dirt could cost so much?)
Then there are all the tools—gloves, shovels, hoses and so on. Oh, and raised beds? Don't even get us started.
Granted, Tower Garden isn't inexpensive either. But you should think of it as an investment in your health—one that will pay for itself quickly. In fact, an independent study found that a Tower Garden can grow food quickly enough to cover the expense of purchase in just six months. (Of course, your mileage may vary slightly depending on what you grow, seasonality, cost of produce and other factors.) And because we built Tower Garden to last—and you'll likely use it season-after-season—your return on investment just keeps getting better with time.
So Tower Garden is a smarter choice economically. But it's also a smarter choice environmentally, requiring only 10% the space and as little as 2% the water as traditional growing methods to grow 30% more three times as fast. (You can learn more about the advantages of aeroponics here.) And Tower Garden recycles! Water and nutrients recirculate the closed-loop system over and over again.
Remember what we said earlier about grocery store produce being shipped? Well, that (in addition to produce packaging) leaves a pretty big carbon footprint—one that you don't contribute to as much when you grow your own produce with Tower Garden.
Long story short, with Tower Garden, you can feel good about your investment.

SAM Simmons, you are my hero. It is rare that a television personality has the courage to spawn something that is likely to have just as many people blinking in confusion as there are aching with laughter. It is even rarer that television networks let television personalities do this. And it is especially rare for Australian comedy to take a full-blooded plunge into the realms of outright surrealism. British comedy, sure: The Mighty Boosh, The Young Ones etc. But Australian comedy has always tended more towards observation, character, send-up and traditionally, of course, complete crap.
This is not so much so these days, of course: this year has brought a diverse array of high-class new comedy, including The Strange Calls, Woodley, Mad As Hell and A Moody Christmas. It's actually looking like quite a purple patch for Aussie comedy. But Simmons' new one, Problems, has taken it all in a completely different, and completely demented, direction. And it's exciting.
Of course, comedy fans had known for years Simmons was a unique voice on the stand-up scene, but it's quite another thing to see that voice translate to the screen. TV history is littered with talented comedians who struggle to hit the spot when exposed to the camera. And Simmons is such an idiosyncratic talent, that was a real possibility. But on the evidence so far, there was no need for such worries. Problems is brilliant.
It's a sketch show - sort of. And a sitcom - sort of. It's hard to describe. Basically, Sam struggles with the minor, yet momentous, problems besetting his life. Accompanied by his anthropomorphic talking cat, and interspersed with his surreal life adventures, proceedings flit wildly around a surreal sketch world in which the ongoing relationship drama of the moths living behind the couch is perhaps the most grounded in reality.
It defies genre, being in essence a tour through the beautifully fractured landscape of Simmons' mind. What a wonderful place that must be. A place where molehills are mountains, and mountains are molehills, and both are probably made out of jelly. A place where the sky's the limit, and it's also purple, and you can get there by strapping a kite to a unicorn. Basically, it's an odd place, and Sam Simmons is an odd man, and that's the whole point.
Now, when you're dealing with sketch comedy, you're never going to get a 100 per cent hit rate. But it's a lot easier to ride the fluctuations when the comedy is original, interesting and filled with ideas. And Problems is as idea-rich a comedy as you're likely to see: they tumble and cascade over each other, fighting for the prime spot in the front of your mind, bubbling and sizzling and rushing madly to an illogical conclusion. It's not so much a stream of consciousness as a waterfall. But, importantly, it's smart.
Simmons was clever enough to surround himself with stellar talent from among his brother and sister comedians, and clever enough to give them their own moments in the spotlight.
But most of all, he is clever enough to have stepped up and let his twisted comedic psyche roar forth among the masses. Whether Problems will be a hit, I have no idea, but it's a cool, refreshing drink of crazy in the comedy desert, and whenever something so uproariously different crashes our living rooms, it's worth applauding.
■ Problems screens on ABC1 on Wednesdays at 9pm.

Kingston AC & Polytechnic Harrier Dominique Blaize may have had a sleepless night, but she did not let it show at the British Athletics Glasgow International Match last weekend Saturday.
The 25-year-old heptathlon specialist from New Malden posted a season's best 6.22m leap to finish third behind winner current European indoor champion from Russia Darya Klishina (6.44m) and USA's Funmi Jimoh (6.34m) in a high-quality long jump competition.
The former Holy Cross School student only discovered the strength of the field the night before the meeting at the new state-of-the-art Emirates Arena.
And she admitted it didn't make for comfortable bedtime reading.
"I was looking at the field in my bedroom last night and said 'Oh my god, this is quite daunting'," she said at the weekend.
"I didn't do as bad as I thought I would do.
"I would have liked to have done a bit better but at the same time it was all about getting better and getting more experience."
And Blaize, who works as a coaching manager for Tolworth-based Sports For Schools, added: "I'm looking forward to going back to the drawing board and doing lots of work.
"Then we'll go to the UK trials and see what happens there."

Statement by Ambassador Wittig on Sudan in the Security Council's Meeting
(check against delivery)
Mr. President,
This is the first time that Germany is taking the floor in a formal meeting of the Council as one of the new non-permanent members. Allow me to express my country's determination to assume the responsibility associated with membership in the Security Council. Germany will contribute to the work of the Security Council in the interest of the United Nations as a whole.
I would like to express my gratitude to the Special Representative of the Secretary-General, Haile Menkerios and to President Benjamin Mkapa for their informed and encouraging briefings.
Germany welcomes the peaceful voting during the referendum and joins others in congratulating the parties to the CPA and the people of Sudan. Germany also extends her gratitude to the Southern Sudan Referendum Commission in Khartoum and the Southern Sudan Referendum Bureau in Juba. Without their tireless efforts and careful preparations, this success would not have been possible. Germany is also grateful for the invaluable contribution of the United Nations Mission to Sudan under the leadership of Special Representative Menkerios. We commend all domestic and international monitoring teams that followed the process closely.
Germany took part in the observer mission of the European Union. We are proud to have been able to thus contribute to the success of the referendum process. My country also supported voter education and continues to support the Southern Sudanese Police Forces and is engaging in an intense political dialogue with the parties.
All parties in the Sudan now need to continue to co-operate in good faith in the resolution of their differences. Multiple and serious challenges remain: The violence in Abyei during the first days of the referendum demonstrated that a swift and durable solution of the question of Abyei is of utmost importance. We urge all parties in the area to refrain from using violence and to seek peaceful solutions to their conflicts. We urgently call upon the CPA parties to reach an agreement on Abyei as well as on other remaining CPA and post-referendum-issues such as citizenship, the rights of Northerners in the South and of Southerners in the North, wealth sharing, border demarcation, security arrangements. All these issues have the potential to undo the progress realized so far.
We therefore suggest that the Sudan Consultative Forum under the joint chairmanship of Thabo Mbeki as Head of the African Union High Level Implementation Panel on Sudan and the UN meet at the earliest convenience to address these questions.
The parties and the Security Council also need to look beyond the CPA and be prepared to act swiftly to address the challenges ahead and prevent future conflict. In any event, the Security Council and the international community will have to continue and extend their support to institution building in South Sudan.
Furthermore, we must not lose sight of the development in the Northern part of Sudan. It is in the interest of regional stability to provide a perspective there, including an economic perspective to master the upcoming challenges. Debt relief, free trade and economic and development cooperation in the North and the South are necessary to open a path to a peaceful and prosperous future.
Mr. President,
The positive news on the referendum must not divert our attention from the situation in Darfur. We are very concerned about the continuing violence in this region and the displacement of thousands of people. The situation of children in particular should be one of our primary concerns. We call upon all parties to the conflict to fully respect the humanitarian principles, including humanitarian access.
We are especially concerned about the abduction of three Bulgarian Members of the UN Humanitarian Air Service in Darfur by an unidentified armed group. We demand their immediate release.
We also repeat that those responsible for the most serious crimes of concern to the international community as a whole committed in Darfur must be brought to justice. In this context, we recall Security Council Resolution 1593.
We support the Doha peace talks and call upon all parties to participate in the peace process hosted by the Government of Qatar and to co-operate with the joint UN-AU mediator Bassolé. We expect all parties to carefully study the proposals elaborated by the mediation in Qatar and urge all parties to the conflict in Darfur to continue negotiations and to conclude a ceasefire agreement immediately and without preconditions.
We repeat our calls to ensure full and unhindered access for UNAMID throughout the mission area. While we support all efforts of UNAMID, particular attention must be paid to the mission's core mandate, the protection of civilians and humanitarian access.
Mr. President,
For several years now, the Security Council has been assuming responsibility for the situation in Sudan and the implementation of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement that led to the Southern Sudan referendum. The determination and the unity of the Council have been key to the negotiations and the preparations that preceded the referendum. The parties of the CPA were always able to count on the support of the Council. At the same time it was very clear what the Council expected from the parties in Sudan.
By holding this meeting today, three days after the polling has been concluded, the Security Council again sends a strong message of concern and responsibility to the parties and people in Sudan.
The referendum in Sudan shows what the Council can achieve for the maintenance of international peace and security, if it acts timely, united and with clear messages. We all know that huge challenges remain for peace and stability in Sudan. Germany is ready to contribute to the work of the Security Council towards a peaceful and prosperous future of Sudan.
Thank you, Mr. President.

It's more than just alliteration; it's a statement, a proclamation that Thursdays are when the weekend should really start. Kicking it off right is the key, and what better way than with a cocktail that not only takes the edge off, but tastes good too.
Last week we shared Alie and Georgia's quirky Peanut Butter and Jealous Cocktail; this week we're back with a sip suited for winter's chill.
Dulce de leche is not-so-secretly one of our favorite Latin flavors. Coveted for its silky texture, sweet taste and starring role in indulgent desserts (like these cookie sandwiches), it's the perfect remedy for sweet tooths and stress-filled days. But rather than digging into a syrup-topped sundae, get your fix with a dulce de leche-infused drink. Made with rich coffee and espresso liqueur, thickened with half and half and balanced with agave nectar and vanilla citrus liqueur, the Dulce de Leche Coffee Cocktail is exactly the sort of sip you want to savor this time of year.
Bottoms up, folks.
The Dulce de Leche Coffee Cocktail
1 cocktail
1 ounce fair trade coffee liqueur
3/4 ounce vanilla citrus liqueur, such as Tuaca
1/2 ounce agave nectar
1 ounce half-and-half
2 ounces espresso liqueur, heated
Combine the coffee liqueur, vanilla citrus liqueur, agave and half-and-half in a heat resistant container. Add the hot espresso liqueur. Serve in a mug or heat resistant container.

Today in Home Depot I saw "Embers" brand charcoal and I'm not familiar with it. It's a Royal Oak product and made in the USA, but there's no disclaimer about the briquettes being hardwood or "all natural" so I'm wondering if it's a bargain brand...kind of like the Old Milwaukee or Busch of charcoal. It was priced at $6 for a 16.6 lb. bag while the Kingsford double pack was $20.
Has anyone ever used it?

COUNCILLORS have hit out at the delay to the opening of the new Colne Health Centre.
Work on the £4.2million centre in Craddock Road is now complete but the opening has been delayed by legal hold-ups.
But bosses at NHS England said they hoped services would start to move into the centre in the next few weeks.
Coun Tony Greaves said: "It is bureaucracy that is holding it up. It's ridiculous that we haven't got a date for the opening of the health centre."
Coun Joe Cooney, council leader, said: "I believe it all to do with discussions between GPs and solicitors and is getting stuck in red tape.
"Somebody needs to grab hold of it and get it moving forward."
The NHS acquired the former Kwik Save supermarket site in 2008, but the project was hit with delays, with the plans shelved in 2010 due to funding concerns.
But the project was kick-started in 2012 and will now include four GP surgeries, speech and language therapists and a podiatry service.
A spokesman for NHS England, Lancashire, said: "All of the partners involved in the new centre are working hard to ensure that it is ready to open to patients as soon as possible.
"The project has been slightly delayed while all legal contracts required for the move have been finalised but we now anticipate that services will start to move into the building in the next few weeks.
"Our service to patients remains our primary concern and we are working to make sure that the transition of services to the new centre will be achieved with minimum disruption.
"We would also like to reassure patients that they can continue to access the full range of services through the existing health centre site at Market Street until the move is completed."
About 150 staff are set to move into the building, which will also include a pharmacy and outpatient facilities.
