San Leandro voters two years ago approved a seven-year, quarter-cent sales tax increase to help preserve city services. Today, the tax brings in about $3.8 million annually.
Now the City Council must do its part. Soaring city pension costs have reached about $10 million a year, in part because most employees contribute nothing toward their retirement fund.
On top of that, the city's pension plan and health program for retirees are more than $70 million short of where they should be today — an unconscionable debt that will be passed on to future taxpayers.
With three council seats on the Nov. 6 ballot, and with all city labor contracts expiring at year's end, the city sits at a financial crossroads. It needs leaders willing to protect taxpayers and future city services.
For that reason, we strongly endorse two school board members running for seats on the council: Morgan Mack-Rose in District 2 and Hermy Almonte in District 6. They say fixing San Leandro's serious financial problems should be the city's top priority. They're right.
We also tepidly back Chris Crow, a former planning commissioner who, in a weak field of four District 4 candidates, was the only one who demonstrated some understanding of the problems.
The city, suffering under the weight of the economic downturn, has undergone five years of financial pain. The annual budget has been trimmed about 7 percent, and it would have been more had the city not dipped into reserves. The size of the workforce has been cut about 20 percent, although far less for sworn police officers.
Meanwhile, pension costs continue to rise. For every payroll dollar spent on police, pension costs now add more than 50 cents. For other city employees, the pension payment is 23 cents for every payroll dollar.
Most employees don't contribute a dime toward those costs. We understand they have gone without expected raises and experienced furloughs to help control salary costs. But so have most of the taxpayers who fund their paychecks.
Meanwhile, they're getting a free ride on very generous pensions. The city even pays what is supposed to be the employees' share. Clearly, that must end. Otherwise, the city will face an annual shortfall of about $7 million starting in 2018-19, the first year the sales tax expires. That will mean even more job cuts.
To make matters worse, even those high city retirement contributions haven't been enough to properly fund the pension and retiree health care programs. The $70 million unfunded liability for past labor costs must now be paid by future generations. City leaders should explain that to their children.
Unfortunately, District 2 incumbent Ursula Reed had no understanding of the problems. And District 6 incumbent Jim Prola couldn't find the time in his busy schedule to discuss them.
It's time for change. San Leandro needs leaders who understand the problems and are willing to fix them.

Yeah that is what I think as well, I hope we make a bowl game this year but it is a true long shot... hopefully things will turn around for us soon.
Why so SERIOUS
Not a chance in hell a bowl happens.
vs Minn
@ Penn St
vs Ill
@ Mich
@ Wisconsin
vs OSU
vs Iowa
Anyone see 4 wins there? Minnesota's at home so should win that, IU's probably a tossup. 4 wins is a best case scenario at this point.
Unlikely but the best case scenario that I could see would be Minn, IU, OSU, and possibly Iowa or Penn St.
Stretch yes, but anything can happen. I say Ill, Mich, and Wisconson are a 0 percent chance of winning but I think we have atleast a 30% chance of winning against OSU, Iowa, and Penn maybe bout 15-20 for Penn only reason being is because it is an away game. Big Ten teams have decent records but their play has been pretty bad, Penn St barely squeaked by in a lot of its games.
I know it is unlikely but for a fan you have to set your hopes high, atleast that what I think.
Why so SERIOUS
Don't think there will be any bowling this year, unless the players head to the Union.
I just want to see a win today. Thinking about going to the Illinois game in a couple weeks
I think Penn St is a winnable game.
Man, and I thought Purdue was bad...
2011 Minnesota is probably the worst Big Ten team I've ever seen
OK Hope, it's Bade time
Purdue needs to stop dancing and play defense.
1st place, Indy here we come!
Painter looked pretty good I thought.
It's not even a race. Minnesota is abysmal. IU would beat them by 2+ touchdowns.
"I had to take her down like Chris Brown."
-Lance Stephenson
Not too sure of the rationale for their rankings, but Rivals has us at #4 in the conference for football.
It's not total commits (2nd), and it's not average * rating (8th). So...number of 3 stars? I dunno. I'll take any good news right now.
I think they add up the totals of where they rank the players, atleast that is their starting point, I think after that they may go in and due some tweaking depending on individual star players.
Why so SERIOUS
Haven't had a chance to see the link, but rivals does a great job from everything I've read.
I think Purdue can win this game this week boys.
What on Earth makes you think that?
"I had to take her down like Chris Brown."
-Lance Stephenson
I was under the impression that Derek Willis was a ship that had sailed, but apparently not
Why so SERIOUS
If Harris doesn't commit to Purdue or IU after Hoosier hysteria this weekend, then he is pretty much 100% MSU or UK bound. Our 2012 recruits have already said they are going to be doing everything they can to get him to commit this weekend and he's already visited Purdue.
I think he will probably go to IU, possibly Michigan State, for his game I think that MSU or PU will fit the best though, they will really develop his game and expand his defensive strengths.
Not to be a "butt hole" but I can not really think of one singer person that Crean has developed in his time here.
I think UK will use his athletic ability but all the depth there might not be as good for him.
I think he will decide with in the next few weeks.
Also one extra thing I wonder who will end up transferring I could see Howell possibly Patterson transferring if Harris comes after the first year or so.
Why so SERIOUS
By the same token, who has Crean really had to develop while at IU? At Marquette Crean was viewed as an average recruiter who landed a ton of 3 stars and still competed in the Big East.
I agree with you on Crean not developing players at IU. I haven't seen nearly as much development out of our guys as I'd like. Same problems persist year after year.
When you say Howell, do you mean Hollowell? If IU did get Harris, I think the most likely transfer would be Patterson. Hollowell is more of a SF, whereas Patterson is a pure, slightly undersized SG.
Patterson would be the first wing off the bench behind Harris and Hollowell most likely. I don't see why he'd transfer, but that's probably a convo best carried out in the IU thread.

A toddler was injured after being backed over by a car Thursday night, the Ukiah Valley Fire Authority reported.
According to the UVFA, firefighters responded to the 2200 block of South State Street around 11:20 p.m. July 17 when it was reported that a car had backed over a 1-year-old girl and drove away.
When firefighters arrived, they found the child suffering from what appeared to be minor injuries. Witnesses said some of the child's body had been run over, though they were not sure of the extent of her injuries.
The child was then airlifted to U.C. Davis Medical Center in Sacramento.
According to the California Highway Patrol, the driver, identified as Luis Valdez Bardo, 24, of Ukiah, was driving a 1997 Ford Thunderbird when he backed over the girl and left the scene. Bardo then returned and a short time later and said he did not realize he had hit the girl.
CHP Officer Kylar Adams said the child was being watched by a caregiver in a grassy courtyard area that is surrounded by a u-shaped parking lot at the complex, and Bardo was backing out of a parking space when he reportedly struck the child and drove away. Adams said while firefighters were treating the child, Bardo was seen driving by the complex and officers then stopped his vehicle.
He was then arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence and causing injury, and booked into Mendocino County Jail.

In the summer of 2008, Nipissing University announced their intent to launch a men's varsity hockey team. Since that time, excitement had been mounting throughout the halls of Nipissing University and within the local community of North Bay, Ontario. It had been a long and at times, challenging journey to bring this team to fruition but with the help of a private group of investors, the Nipissing University Lakers men's varsity hockey team would finally hit the ice in September 2009 and kick-off a much anticipated inaugural season. In January 2009 the Lakers Hockey marketing committee gathered to discuss how best to promote this new team. The Lakers would be playing in North Bay's largest recreational facility - Memorial Gardens, which had a total building capacity of 4,048. Their objectives were clear - the coveted Lakers varsity hockey team would have to garner widespread support and maximize fan attendance. With approximately nine months until the opening game, the marketing team focused on developing the most effective marketing plan to realize these objectives. On March 2nd, they would present their recommendations to the Lakers ownership group for final approval and implementation.
After analyzing this case, students should be able to: 1) Follow a sound marketing strategy planning process (including situational assessment, market segmentation and targeting, differentiation and positioning, and marketing mix plans); 2) Exhibit creativity in addressing practical business issues; 3) Prioritize spending and manage a promotional budget.

In its 15th year, THE LION KING recently became the highest-grossing Broadway show in history. Since its Broadway premiere on November 13, 1997, 19 productions around the globe have been seen by more than 64 million people, grossed over $4.8 billion and, cumulatively, run a staggering 91 years. Produced by Disney Theatrical Productions (under the direction of Thomas Schumacher),
THE LION KING is the sixth longest-running musical in Broadway history and only the second show to produce five productions running 10 or more years. Translated into seven different languages (Japanese, German, Korean, French, Dutch, Mandarin, Spanish), the show has been performed in 15 different countries on five continents.

On stage, Taymor's creative vision blends elements of African art and Broadway artisanship to depict anthropomorphic animal characters. Taymor, along with designer Michael Curry, has created hundreds of masks and puppets for THE LION KING. The book has been adapted by Roger Allers, who co-directed The Lion King animated feature, and Irene Mecchi, who co-wrote the film's screenplay.
The Broadway score features Elton John and Tim Rice's music from The Lion King animated film along with three new songs by John and Rice; additional musical material by South African Lebo M, Mark Mancina, Jay Rifkin, Julie Taymor and Hans Zimmer; and music from "Rhythm of the Pride Lands," an album inspired by the original music in the film, written by Lebo M, Mark Mancina and Hans Zimmer. The resulting sound of THE LION KING is a fusion of Western popular music and the distinctive sounds and rhythms of Africa, ranging from the Academy Award®-winning song "Can You Feel The Love Tonight" to the haunting ballad "Shadowland."
Other members of the creative team include: Steve Canyon Kennedy (sound design), Michael Ward (hair and makeup design), John Stefaniuk (associate director), Marey Griffith (associate choreographer), Clement Ishmael (music supervisor) and Doc Zorthian (Production Supervisor). Anne Quart serves as associate producer.

text: Actions of Terribly Concerned concerning By John McCoy October 19, 2013 Story Share CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- IN THE mixed-up world of animal-rights activism, logic sometimes takes a back seat. The latest example comes from California, where activists have been thwarting wildlife officers' attempts to trap and relocate nuisance bears.According to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, activists have staked out culvert-style traps to frighten away bears attracted to the bait inside. They've also smeared the traps' entrances with Pine-Sol cleanser, which has a scent bears don't like.All this is taking place in and around the resort community of Lake Tahoe, where bears have been raiding residents' cabins in search of food.The activists say they don't think it's necessary to trap and relocate nuisance bears, or to euthanize those that have become habitual offenders.That's right. The activists are completely discounting the knowledge and experience of trained wildlife officers whose job it is to assess whether nuisance animals should be trapped or destroyed. Clearly the activists believe that they, with their degrees in art appreciation or theater history, and their vast experience as pizza delivery drivers, somehow are better qualified to make that call.So they choose to help nuisance bears roam free, even if it means risking Tahoe residents' lives.With any luck, no one will end up getting hurt or killed. After all, the bears in question are black bears, not grizzlies. Attacks by black bears on humans are relatively rare.But they do happen. Do any of those activists truly think that a 400-pound black bear, stuffing its face with groceries from someone's pantry, wouldn't take a swipe at the groceries' owner if confronted? And don't they realize that a single blow from the paw of a large black bear can easily snap a human's neck?Truth is, they probably don't know those things.What they think they know about bears came from television or movies, where animals are almost always the heroes and humans are almost always the villains. They believe animals are capable of human-like thoughts and emotions.And they believe the world would be a better place if humans would simply leave animals alone. No hunting. No livestock. No pets. It doesn't seem to occur to them that we live in a world inhabited by 6 billion people. Humans' presence has altered the landscape - altered the balance of nature - in ways too numerous to count.If animals were left completely alone, there would be unintended consequences.Within a few generations, most of the animals' fear of humans would disappear. Herbivores would come to view humans' farms and gardens - remember, humans wouldn't be eating meat anymore - as easy food sources. Large carnivores such as bears, wolves and mountain lions would come to view weak, slow-footed humans as prey.In other words, the same conditions that spurred humans to exert dominance over animals would have recurred. Humans - the smart ones, at least - wouldn't allow themselves to starve simply to feed Bambi, or allow themselves to be torn apart to feed Yogi.They'd start killing animals again.And chances are they'd start eating the animals they killed. After that, they'd start hunting and domesticating animals for livestock and pets. The late, great newspaperman L.T. Anderson had a term for the Tahoe activists and others like them - "the Terribly Concerned."Only in the minds of the Terribly Concerned is the welfare of cabin-raiding bears more important than the welfare of the people whose cabins are being raided. It's a mentality I simply cannot fathom.

Never before has menswear been so developed or diverse as it is today. Traditionally conservative and slow to change, international menswear design has grown exponentially in the last 15 years, rivaling its women's counterpart in conviction if not in creativity. This has not gone unnoticed in New York City as a new crop of designers submit their own take on contemporary men's dress.
In an effort to open a dialogue about what these new paradigms might be Garmento zine presents "Coversations in American Menswear," a radio-style interview series held at the Museum of Arts and Design. For four nights Garmento founder and editor Jeremy Lewis will engage four of New York's most intriguing and compelling designers to find out what it is that makes them tick. While each of the designers live, design, and have shown their work in New York, none of them are American-born. As the series investigates new discourses in American menswear, it will also attempt to find out who the new "American man" actually is.
Siki Im – April 11, 7:00 pm
Antonio Azzuolo – April 25, 7:00 om
Tim Coppens – May 9, 7:30 pm

All talks will be held in the second floor galleries of the museum and are free to the public. The Museum of Arts and Design is located at 2 Columbus Circle New York, New York, NY 10019

U.S. corn futures are expected to start lower Monday as weekend rains and forecasts for milder temperatures ease concerns about heat stressing crops.
Traders predict corn for December delivery, the most actively traded contract, will open down 5 cents to 7 cents a bushel at the Chicago Board of Trade. In overnight electronic trading, the contract dropped 7 3/4 cents, or 1.1%, to $6.77 3/4 a bushel.
Futures prices are pulling back after climbing Friday on concerns hot weather was reducing the size of the corn crop. Heavier-than-expected weekend rains in parts of Iowa, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio sparked the overnight setback, and weather conditions look less threatening this week, analysts said.
"Weather forecasts have a good chance of rains for stressed areas this week, with some of the extreme heat looking to moderate in the deferred forecasts," said Taylor Smalley, analyst for Country Hedging, a brokerage in Minnesota.
Traders are paying close attention to the weather because farmers need favorable conditions to grow a large crop to replenish low inventories. Corn prices have pulled back nearly 15% since reaching an all-time high in early June on supply concerns. Yet, users of the grain remain uncertain about the outcome of the crop, which will be harvested in the autumn.
Crops will benefit from weekend rains and cooler temperatures through the northern and eastern Midwest region, according to private weather firm Telvent DTN. Yet, drier and somewhat hotter weather is still a concern through southern and some central areas of the Midwest, where rains were much less and the cooling trend was somewhat slower to develop during the weekend, the firm said in a forecast.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture will issue an update on crop conditions in a weekly report due at 4 p.m. EDT. Traders expect the government to lower its good-to-excellent rating for the corn crop by two to four percentage points due to the stressful heat last week.
In other news, the USDA said private exporters struck deals to sell 105,156 tons of corn to Japan in the 2011-12 marketing year, which starts in September. Japan is the top buyer of U.S. corn.

Alaska is twice the size of Texas, one fifth the size of the entire
contiguous United States, and has more than 31,383 miles of coastline. Off shore
of Alaska's coastline are some of the richest fishing grounds in the world. The
Department of Public Safety, Division of Alaska Wildlife Troopers is responsible
for protecting this resource from the shore out to 3 miles. The State is also
responsible for the preservation of the migratory fish resource, such as salmon,
up to 200 miles off shore of Alaska. The Bering Sea alone encompasses 886,000
square miles of fishing grounds. The Department of Public Safety's effort in the
patrol and enforcement of these waters is entrusted to the Marine Enforcement
Section (MES) with the Alaska Wildlife Troopers. Assigned to MES, as well as
other posts from Ketchikan to Kotzebue, are 17 vessels that range in size from
25 to 156 feet. Numerous other smaller skiffs augment patrol and boarding
operations either independently or in support of the MES.
During Bristol Bay's Red Salmon six week fishery
alone, there are over 1900 fishing vessels and 1000 set net sites registered to
participate in the harvesting of Alaska's salmon. These types of fisheries not
only produce a tremendous amount of enforcement responsibilities for the MES,
but also result in numerous Search and Rescues yearly for unfortunate mariners.
The Patrol Vessels are manned by commissioned State Troopers from the Division
of Alaska Wildlife Troopers. The MES's larger vessels are manned with U.S.C.G.
licensed Masters and First Mates (Troopers holding U.S.C.G. 100 ton or greater
licenses). The Patrol Vessels WOLDSTAD,
STIMSON and ENFORCER are also manned with civilian Boat Officers (Deck
Hands) and Vessel Technicians (Engineers). For the crews of these Patrol
Vessels, family life comes in small doses. Patrols routinely last 30 to 45 days
and account for as many as 240 days per year away from home. Patrols just to
arrive on the fishing grounds, such as the Bering Sea, can take four days of navigating due to some of the most challenging weather in the world. Storms with gale and hurricane force winds 50
to 80 mph and seas in excess of 30 feet are not uncommon. There are few hiding
places in the Bering Sea and Bristol Bay, which, subsequently, leaves the Patrol
Vessels to ride out the storms in the unprotected waters.
Kodiak, Alaska is Home Port to Patrol Vessels
WOLDSTAD, AND CAMAI. For Kodiak Island Marine Weather, visit
"MARINE FORECAST". For general Kodiak information,
"Kodiak General Info".
Kodiak, Alaska is also Home Port to the Division's largest Patrol Vessel,
Home Port for the Patrol Vessel ENFORCER is in Ketchikan, Alaska. For
information on Ketchikan visit "Ketchikan City's Home Page". For some of Alaska's Official State Agencies and
FAQ, "State of Alaska's Home Page".
Mariners concerned with the correct official time should compare their clocks
to the "US Naval Master Clock".

As a native Calgarian who was actively involved in Canadian Jewish life in both Calgary and Toronto for more than 30 years before making aliyah in 1991, I am writing to you as a concerned Israeli mindful of the love, the work and support that the Canadian Jewish community has always had for Israel.
Last week, students at Tel Aviv University marked Nakba (catastrophe) Day – the date on the Gregorian calendar when Israel achieved statehood in 1948 – with an approved campus ceremony. Like many of us here, I hope that Canadians who support Tel Aviv U will make it known, as have members of Israel's Knesset, that it is disgraceful that such an event was held. This was an offence to Israel and its sovereignty. The university management should have cancelled the event. I hope that Canadians who financially support Tel Aviv U will voice their lack of support for such an event.

Parents sacrifice for day school (1)
As a 15-year-old Jewish day school student, I see the sacrifices parents make in order to provide their children with Jewish day school education ("Day school parents feel the tuition pinch," Live and Learn, March 8). A Jewish day school allows its students to develop their Jewish values and identity while still integrating a general studies curriculum. In addition, it maintains and gives a sense of community. Sadly, many parents turn to public schools due to the financial weight that a Jewish day school comes with. Parents are feeling burdened by the expensive Jewish day school tuition and are aggravated that nothing is being done by the leaders of our community.
It is completely unjust that the Ontario government is funding private Catholic schools, but still provides no funding for Jewish day schools. The lack of government funds forces parents to pay expensive tuitions, while at the same time paying for public schools through taxes. If funding for Jewish day school is not provided, then funding of all private schools should be cancelled. The situation is leaving parents with a hard choice – go into debt to send your children to Jewish day school or risk weakening an already threatened community.

Parents sacrifice for day school (2)
I was assigned to write a letter to the editor for my Grade 10 civics class, and while searching for an article to reply to, I stumbled across "Day school parents feel the tuition pinch" (Live and Learn, March 8). As a Jewish high school student whose parents make great sacrifices to send me to a day school, I find it very upsetting that the Ontario government has been paying full tuition for the education of Catholic religious students but not for Jewish schools. Many Jewish parents are struggling to keep their children in the Jewish day school system because of the rising tuition costs. Day school students benefit from positive influences that guarantee the next generation will grow up with strong, religious values. In a world with growing distractions, this is vital.
If the government refuses to fund the full cost of a private, religious school, then the least they can do is fund the general Ministry of Education courses within the private school curriculum. As it stands now, Jewish parents' hard-earned money is going toward the education of other religious students. If the government was to begin funding other religious schools, then many Jewish students whose families cannot afford the outrageous tuition prices would finally be able to receive a Jewish education

Jonathan Pollard
Jonathan Pollard has been in jail for 27 years for passing classified information to an ally during peacetime, an offence that has historically garnered an average sentence of two to four years. Jews and non-Jews alike must not rest until Pollard is free. Let us not forget that Pollard's actions, although illegal, were guided solely by a genuine concern for Israeli security. He has expressed remorse and overpaid his debt to society.

JPPS known for warmth, academic achievement
As a teacher, parent and sister of graduates of Jewish People's and Peretz Schools, it warms my heart to read Leslie Solomon's letter "Children thrive at JPPS" (May 17). Our school has always been known for its warmth and concern for the whole child and its continual excellence in academic achievement. Despite the unfortunate unfavourable PR that has been circulating lately, I am witness to the fact that our school remains successful in its goals whatever the circumstances. Our teachers are not depressed. Our teachers are not discouraged. Our teachers are ready and eager and enthusiastic to continue the joy we take in educating our students.

Donate blacksmith's tongs to Yad Vashem
I read the article "Warsaw museum to document Polish Jewry" (May 3) about the tongs that Stanley Diamond acquired in the late 1990s from the elderly blacksmith Czeslaw Szymanski from Poreba, Poland, an apprentice to Moszek Widelec (1908-1941), a blacksmith who was shot by the Germans while trying to smuggle food into the Warsaw Ghetto. Widelec was Diamond's father's first cousin. Diamond wanted to give the tongs to the Montreal Holocaust Memorial Museum, but their space is limited, so he will give them to Museum of the History of Polish Jews in Warsaw, which will use them to illustrate the story of the vanished Jewish life of Poreba. Why not give them to Yad Vashem in Jerusalem, where so many tourists come from everywhere? The information about the tongs should include the following: "Before World War II, there were many Jewish blacksmiths in Poland." I think Yad Vashem is more important than the museum in Poland.

Dismantle Jewish settlements?
Tamara Micner invokes the golden rule in listing her menu of what constitutes all that is fair and equitable in a just society ("Leave vengeance to a higher power," Letters, April 19). Among the platitudes and generalities, she makes reference to one very specific injustice that appears on her moral compass. She wants a discussion on "dismantling the Jewish settlements in the West Bank" to take place. Although she lectures us on treating one another as we want to be treated, dismantling the homes of 300,000 people and the effect it would have on these families does not disturb her.
Possibly, she would do well to read the article "Arab who sold property to Jews sentenced to death," which happens to appear in the same issue as her letter. No place on earth should be declared Judenrein, least of all the West Bank.

*Recent ruminations from LUPEC Boston, in case you missed 'em in this week's Dig.
by Pink Lady + Bourbon Belle
Look at you, relaxing on the veranda or at the café in the early evening with a glass of something lightly sweet and lightly alcoholic. Stimulating your appetite with an aperitif? How civilized.
Aperitifs, or 'aperitivos' as Italians call them, were once a de rigeur start to a meal in France and Italy. These tipples were chosen for their appetite enhancing effects. As the members of LUPEC recently learned at the "Art of the Aperitif" seminar at Tales of the Cocktail (an annual convention for drink enthusiasts), many of the herbs and botanicals used in classic aperitif wines got their start in the pharmacy. Wormwood, the ingredient that gave vermouth its name ('vermut' in German), was once prescribed to cure stomach ailments; Gentian has similar medicinal purposes. Steeped in wine and fortified as vermouth, the bitter botanicals were believed to stimulate the palate, because the acid in the dry wine base kick-started salivation and, in turn, hunger.
Classic aperitif tipples include vermouth, Dubonnet, Kina Lillet (Lillet's quinine-flavored, slightly bitter antecedent) and pastis or Absinthe. As it happens, all of these have potent and delicious application in cocktails. If it weren't for vermouth, there would be no martini or Manhattan, of course. Without Absinthe or other anise liqueurs, how would you make a Sazerac? Aperitif-style beverages date back centuries in many cultures, but the practice of imbibing before gorging was particularly fashionable in Europe during the late 19th century, just as the cocktail was coming into its own.
As the cocktail enjoys a renaissance today, we think it's only fair to give the aperitif another go. That's why we're planning to attend Brix by Night's "Art of the Aperitif" class this Thursday. Tom Schlesinger-Guidelli will shake up cocktails made with modern classic liqueur St-Germain. Until then, we'll conjure our appetites with one of these.
The Bohemian Cooler
1.5 oz. St. Germain
.75 oz. Old Overholt Rye
.75 oz. Lemon Juice.
Mount in a high ball, shake, add 2 oz. spicy ginger beer, add back ingredients and top with ice. No garnish.
The Art of the Aperitif will take place at Brix on Broad Thursday, August 12, 7 – 9 p.m. Tickets are $35 per person and include 5 cocktail tastes and traditional bar snacks. Space is limited. Call 617.542.2749, ext. 2 to make a reservation.

Shoulder feeling good, Wong thriving in No. 2 spot
All-Star break gives young Cardinals second baseman more time to heal
ST. LOUIS -- The four-day All-Star break came at an opportune time for Cardinals second baseman Kolten Wong, who said the time away from the field gave his left shoulder additional opportunity to heal.
After spending 15 days on the disabled list with a left shoulder contusion, Wong returned to the team and played in eight games to close out the first half. He went 9-for-28 with five homers upon coming back, but did admit to feeling some minor discomfort if he stretched or jolted his shoulder too much.
On Friday, Wong felt none of it.
"My shoulder is feeling really good now," he said. "I just basically did nothing the entire break. I tried to get my body to 100 percent. It's never going to be 100 percent, but my shoulder is back to normal."
Wong opened the second half with a two-hit game in which he scored two of the Cardinals' three runs. He has hit safely in eight of nine games since returning from the DL, and his five home runs are the most by a Cardinals second baseman in July since 1977, when Mike Tyson also had five.
Wong's instant impact since coming off the DL has led manager Mike Matheny to deploy the second baseman as his No. 2 hitter for five straight games. Matheny has used 11 players in that spot, but has been hopeful that one of them would seize the opportunity to become a long-term fit, as Carlos Beltran was for much of the past two seasons.
Wong, who also brings an element of speed to the top of the lineup, is emerging as that guy.
"I'm not really thinking about hitting second. I'm just going up there and putting a good at-bat together and getting on base," Wong said. "When I was hitting eighth, it was more thinking about how I could get runs in or how I could get into scoring position. ... Hitting second, you have some stuff to think about. You want to get on base. Or if [Matt Carpenter] is on, I have to figure out how to get him over. You're definitely thinking out there of how you can execute."

WHEN Mass Observation chose Bolton for its study of life in the north of England it hoped to discover how ordinary people lived in an industrial town.
Its choice of 'Worktown' as a pseudonym for Bolton reflected the fact that work, in the form of the cotton industry, was the reason for the town's existence.
Seventy five years after the Worktown project, the archive produced by the mass observers constitutes a unique historical record of everyday life in inter-war Britain.
It includes not only Humphrey Spender's photographs but 65 boxes of written records detailing every aspect of life, including work, leisure, shopping, holidays, funerals, religion and politics.
Several boxes in the archive describe work in the cotton industry.
Visiting Swan Lane Spinning Mills, the largest cotton factory in the world, on July 7, 1938, an observer noted the predominance of women and girls, all wearing cotton dresses and sandals and looking after several machines.
An account from Cobden Mill, Draycott Street, describes how four employees had been chosen to attend the Coronation, while fellow workers were collecting for a "footing", an unofficial celebration held in the weaving shed in work time.
There are also boxes of essays by Bolton schoolchildren, some written by the pupils of Pikes Lane school, describing what they did on their holidays — all include the names of their writers who could doubtless be recognised by their descendants.
Other boxes contain records of household savings, patterns of drinking in pubs, dance halls, church rituals and shopping habits.
A further unique aspect of the archive is Bolton Museums' Humphrey Spender "Worktown" collection of photographs which provides visual records of places, buildings, streets and people.
It is unsurprising that the Worktown archive attracts international interest amongst historians and photographers and the Centre for Worktown Studies was jointly established in 2009 by the University of Bolton and Bolton Museum to support research based on Worktown.
It has received visitors from as far afield as Australia and North America, and provides help and guidance to anyone wishing to know more about Worktown.
The centre is a meeting place for researchers from differing backgrounds and the Happiness survey is an outcome of this.
All our events are open to the public and you can keep in tabs on forthcoming events at bolton.ac.uk/worktown.
Our next event, "Worktown to Cottonopolis", is a family event on March 29 — why not join us and become a mass observer for the day?"

BAYTOWN, Texas - The families of two Baytown teens have filed a lawsuit against the city for the way officers handled a police chase.
The chase happened in October. The Sterling High students were waiting for a red light to turn green at the intersection of Garth Road and Rollingbrook Drive, when a chase ensued.
Attorneys representing their families claim that Baytown police used a spike strip, which they said caused Shannon Chauncey, the man who was being chased, to lose control and crash into a pickup truck carrying the students.
Shawn Williams, 16, died and Shay Hollingshead, 17, is now in a wheelchair.
The father of one of those teens said all he wants is answers.
"I want to know exactly how it happened, why this happened and why they don't follow precise procedure," said Joe Hollingshead.
Chauncey is also named in the suit filed Tuesday morning at the Harris County Civil Courthouse.
Police said Chauncey and his girlfriend stole from Sears and Academy Sports on the night they were being pursued by police.

Surely we knew deep down that no rookie goes into Tom Brady's house, sits down on his couch, puts his feet up, cracks open a cold one and says, "How ya doin', Tommy?" Surely we knew that Brady, in the role of expert (insert your own Jedi or other cultural analogy here), would remind young Luck that he has much to discover and master in the (deeper voiceover now) National Football League.
But maybe we got fooled just a bit by a 6-3 record and some feel-good vibes of national media attention.
The positive news is that the Colts (6-4) remain in the AFC playoff picture, with some opponents they can beat, starting at home against Buffalo next Sunday.
Here's what else should come out of this mess: Luck will learn from it.
Every step of the way in this season, the rookie quarterback has been three-fourths phenomenon, one-fourth greenhorn.
He makes throws that defy his age and experience, such as his pinpoint perfect, low-enough and away-enough touchdown pass to the sliding T.Y. Hilton when things were going the Colts' way early Sunday. Or he somehow muscles out of a sure sack by Rob Ninkovich and completes a pass.
But then then Luck sails a pass over Reggie Wayne, or forces one too quickly to the sidelines to Wayne and ends up with a couple pick-sixes and mentally beats himself up as he trudges to the sidelines.
Luck still does other things rookies often do. He tries to force a pass between two or three defenders. He scrambles into trouble sometimes when he should throw it away and live for another play. He holds the ball a shade too long and gets hit/stripped from behind.
These are all lessons, painful ones when you end up giving the Patriots 21 points where Brady didn't even touch the ball. Two of those scores were on Luck (the pick-sixes) and the other was a Julian Edelman punt return. Edelman was not a name Colts fans enjoyed hearing Sunday.
Brady, meanwhile, barely felt any pressure from the relatively healthy Dwight Freeney and Robert Mathis. He completed 24 of 35 for 331 yards, three scores and no picks, and realized early that the Colts' defense had no answer for packages big (Rob Gronkowski, seven catches for 137 yards, one broken forearm) or small (Edelman and Wes Welker, a combined 12 catches for 138 yards).
Brady was the cool veteran as we know him. Luck was the hot and cold rookie who isn't helped sometimes when his young targets drop balls.
Playing on the road is a bear, no question. Luck finished 27 of 50 passing for 334 yards (an NFL rookie record fifth game over 300) with two touchdowns and three interceptions.
Luck has 12 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. The splits are clear: He has four TDs and 10 picks on the road. It's tougher with hostile crowds, energized defenses and different, yet-to-be-experienced defensive schemes.
Colts fans have come to expect Luck to be much better than the average rookie, and he has fulfilled those expectations for the most part. That's why those moments where he falters come as such a surprise. If he would have gone into New England and had his way against the Patriots – even a subpar Patriots defense – that would have been the bigger surprise.
The 87-yard interception return touchdown by Alfonzo Dennard was some rookie carelessness. Luck has to get points when the Colts get that deep into the red zone. He must avoid higher-risk or rushed throws.
"You can't throw them that late and he knows it," Colts interim coach Bruce Arians told reporters afterward. "We talked about it and he was mad at himself. And that is the beauty of him."
Luck is learning, but his NFL orientation course continues. More assignments are on the way, and he'll need to continue his homework, review time and self-evaluation.
The Colts lost at New England, lost more thoroughly than most expected. It was a painful lesson in NFL hierarchy. First-year rebuilding teams don't win in New England. Heck, elite teams rarely win in New England.
Luck and the Colts should review, wince and move on. Their primary goal before New England – making the playoffs – hasn't changed. If they can get there, Luck will be able to earn some extra credit, something no other No.1-drafted quarterback has ever done.
It's back to class now.

Jerome Kaino has replaced Kieran Read in New Zealand's starting line-up to face England in the first Test at Auckland's Eden Park on Saturday.
Canterbury loose forward Read has been forced to sit out after suffering a relapse of concussion symptoms, paving the way for the Blues' Kaino to win his 49th cap in the back row alongside captain Richie McCaw.
Highly-rated centre Malakai Fekitoa could make his debut from the bench, with uncapped duo Patrick Tuipulotu and TJ Perenara also named as replacements.
All Blacks head coach Steve Hansen has shown no mercy on England's injury and unavailability plight, selecting from strength for the first of three June Tests.
England are shorn of Aviva Premiership finalist stars from Saracens and Northampton while a clutch of front-line operators have stayed at home to recover from long-term injuries.
New Zealand are taking no chances, though, boasting 968 caps across their squad of 23.
"I would firstly like to congratulate Jerome on his return to the Test side and also the three uncapped players who have been selected in the 23," said head coach Hansen.
"It is the first time in our long history that we are playing a three-match series against England and they are the perfect opponent for us at this time.
"We have a healthy respect for England and what they will bring to the contest.
"Our preparation, though limited by time, has been very good. We have concentrated on getting real clarity of our roles earlier in the week and will be looking to build the intensity levels as we get closer to game time."
Aaron Cruden starts at fly-half with Dan Carter still recovering from Achilles trouble, but England's inexperienced midfield must find a way to subdue centre duo Ma'a Nonu and Conrad Smith.
Bullish 22-year-old centre Fekitoa has impressed in his breakthrough Super Rugby campaign with the Highlanders, earning rapid All Blacks elevation.
New Zealand have lost just once since lifting the World Cup on home soil in 2011 and are gunning to extend their world-record streak of 14 straight victories.
"We will be looking, as always, to improve our game by increasing our accuracy and precision in all our tasks across the park," said Hansen.
"There is a strong desire in the group to keep improving the quality of our performances from the level they have been at. We are fully aware that if we don't, we are vulnerable to those teams that have the same mindset of improvement.
"We see this Test match as one which will be very physical with lots of ball movement that will challenge both sides aerobically and mentally."

Offer Feedback on Future Land Use Near Wiehle Avenue Metro Station
March 10, 2010
News Highlights
More Information
As part of the Reston Master Plan Special Study, the public can offer input about future land use around the Wiehle Avenue Metro station on Saturday, March 20, at 9 a.m. The public workshop will be held at the Langston Hughes Middle School cafeteria, 11401 Ridge Heights Road, Reston. The draft agenda for this workshop is available online.
It is envisioned that future development in this area should take advantage of its proximity to Metro while preserving nearby neighborhoods.
Because this workshop focuses on land use for this entire area, it will
not include discussion about the proposed county-owned, park-and-ride
garage and mixed use development at Wiehle Avenue.
The Reston Master Plan Task Force will develop recommendations for future land use for the Dulles Corridor. This includes the areas around the future Wiehle Avenue, Reston Parkway and Herndon-Monroe Metro stations, as well as Reston Town Center. Community workshops will be conducted for each of these areas, so the public can offer their input. Public hearings also will be held later this year on the overall recommendations for the corridor.
The task force is scheduled to present its recommendations this summer and they will be sent to the Fairfax County Planning Commission for review this fall. The Fairfax County Board of Supervisors will then vote on whether to include the recommendations in the Comprehensive Plan for the corridor.
Materials from previous workshops are available online.

While our educational system in the United States served us well at one time, Sir Ken Robinson says it's not working for us anymore. In this short video, Robinson talks about what's wrong with education, and some possibilities for making it better.
Catholic Education in the West: Roots, Reality, and Revival
Catholic education has played a major role in the development of Western nations, yet it is in many places in crisis. To bring about renewal, it is necessary to revisit the subject with an eye to fundamental questions. What is the purpose of education? What is distinctive about Catholic education? What is the right relationship between schools, parents, Church, and society?

We strive to be the ultimate experience in cosmetic surgery. Our business model is simple, and everyone on our team is empowered to see that we succeed at our mission.
We find that our patients are with us for life, and therefore treating them like family comes naturally. We love what we do in this office, and our staff works hard to be the best in the business. As a patient of our practice, this means you can expect an unparalleled level of personalized customer service. It also means that each of us is happy to do whatever it takes to keep that promise.
Evenings and weekends by appointment only
We specialize in cosmetic surgery for the face, breast, and body. We are likely the fastest growing single surgeon cosmetic practices in the Unites States, and as a result we see quite alot of everything. We do not specialize in any specific area, becuase we pride ourselves on being great at every surgery we offer. Roughly 40% of our cosmetic procedures are breast augmentations, lifts, and reductions; roughly 20% is comprised of facial surguries; 30% is comprised of liposuction and body contouring; and the remaining balance is based in vaginal rejuvenation / labiaplasty surgery.
We specialize in skin cancer, and breast reconstruction only in our reconstructive practice.
Dr. Dana makes a point of being a great listener, and she is commited to giving her patients as much time as they feel is necessary to be informed about their procedure. We do not try to sell our patients on having procedures, and we are happy to assist them no matter where they are in their journey to deciding if plastic surgery is right for them. Our consultations are always free, though we do hold a credit card for a $25.00 no show fee.

It is a combination of things. I am frustrated for sure at my skill level. Before I got hurt I shot around 10 rounds in a row over 980, the few tournaments I played this year I shot around 935ish golf (my rating dropped from 975 to 940 over the past year). I can still throw over 400, but my touch game and control is gone which makes sense as I haven't been playing a lot. I also recently graduated with my undergrad but am now going to grad school full time so not a lot has changed there besides the people around. I used to have 15ish guys in our college club that I could call at any point and go throw a round with, but now there are just the weird old locals around to go out there with. I also used to be able to just go enjoy nature and throw a round by myself, but I don't even think I am capable of that anymore. I think another problem is the local courses. The three closest courses to me all seem to have something going on. The one has been out of the ground the entire summer as they are doing something to the creek and for some reason that means they have to pull all the baskets and cut down a ton of trees. Another course that was closed for half a year to be redone opened back up, but in my opinion they ruined the course and it became pay to play and I do not feel the course is worth paying for. So that leaves me with one course that is really long, wide open, and has 0 elevation and offers no variety or challenge. You can shank your drive 100 feet to a direction of where you were aiming and still get a 3 on every hole.
Sorry for the block of text and poor grammar. Thanks for your input to everyone who has contributed.

So to enjoy something you have to bash something else? Seems a bit silly. I don't particularly enjoy playing darts but I'm not going to bash it to make playing golf (or disc golf) more fun. It is what it is.
If disc golf isn't fun for you right now, perhaps you've changed. Take a break and if it begins to itch again, good. If not, good.

Sorry if this has already been covered, I did a quick search and didn't find much.
Before the board got moved, the view active topics button was awesome, it was the quickest and easiest way to see which topics had something new to read, now it seems to do nothing. Can we get this fixed?

Images in file listings, new preference option for all membersposted by Dark0ne Site NewsThis evening I have updated all the file listing pages (files shown in categories and search results) to now show the primary image thumbnail for the files listed. Clicking the image thumbnail will automatically take you to the image tab on the file page for that particular file. Files without images or with no primary image will show the standard "none yet" placeholder. This change is effective for users who are using both the standard "block" and non-standard "flat" layout modes that are both available to all members via the preferences section.
On that note I am aware that there are people still using dial-up on the site, or people with strict bandwidth caps that might have a reduced experience on the site due to this update. For these members there is a new preference option on the preferences page that allows you to turn off images on file listings, helping to reduce the bandwidth necessary to browse this site at a good speed. By default the setting is set to on for all members.
