Wake school board swears in new member, holds budget hearing
Posted March 19, 2013
Cary, N.C. — The Wake County Board of Education welcomed its newest member Tuesday evening, shortly before kicking off a public hearing about next year's budget.
Bill Fletcher fills the school board vacancy left by the departure of Debra Goldman. The Cary resident will represent District 9, which covers western Wake County.
"I want to help our district move forward," Fletcher said after a brief swearing in ceremony. "We are among the best in the nation and we can be the singular best in the nation."
Fletcher, a registered Republican, earned the support of six of the eight sitting board members, all of them Democrats. He was among six candidates to interview and previously served three terms on the board, from 1993 to 2005, and was involved in the last major bond issue advanced by the school system.
Fletcher said he does not support a move by the Wake County Board of Commissioners to take over ownership of school buildings.
"This school district has done an amazing job building schools on time (and) under budget," he said.
Chairman Keith Sutton said he is glad to have the board back at full strength with nine members and that he sees less animosity flying around the board table.
"I think we are a more focused board," he said.
But board member John Tedesco predicts battles ahead, especially as political tensions heat up between the school board, county commissioners and state lawmakers.
"We are going to have a long road ahead," Tedesco said.
The board has other big issues on its plate as well, including choosing a new superintendent and stabilizing student assignment after three years of shifting policy.
Fletcher was optimistic.
Budget talks continue as Wake board swears in new member
"This board is made of people, and people, when they listen to each other and share ideas, can make amazing things happen," he said.
Also during Tuesday's meeting, the school board heard from the public on a $1.4 billion proposed budget for the upcoming school year, which interim Superintendent Stephen Gainey calls conservative.
The proposal calls for the expansion of magnet programs and the opening of a new high school in the near future, but the goal is similar to last year – no reductions in staff and no significant cuts. To do so, it's asking for more money – $8.3 million – from the county.
The Wake County Public School System has projected 2 percent annual enrollment growth for the next decade and needs up to 16 new elementary schools, five middle schools and six high schools to keep up with the new students. Also, many older schools need extensive renovations.
Officials have estimated that construction and renovation needs could reach $2 billion by 2020. A bond for that amount could add as much as 16 cents to the property tax rate for Wake County residents.
While both school board and county commissioners recognize the need for a bond, they have butted heads over how school construction should be funded. In a joint meeting last month, the boards demonstrated the tension that exists between the Republican-led county commissioners and the Democratic-majority school board.
The commissioners maintain that they would be more fiscally responsible in operating the assets and that the move would allow the school board to concentrate on policy and curriculum.
Sutton likened the commissioners' effort to a "hostile takeover" of a business, and board member Susan Evans said it was a sign of disrespect.
Members of both boards said the acrimony between to the two elected bodies puts any appeal to voters for money at risk.

Starting at the junction of U.S. Route 93 and Nevada State Route 318, the Schofield Cemetery can be found by traveling north on Nevada State Route 318 (which traverses the farming community of Hiko, Nevada) for two miles. The cemetery is located on the hillside about 1/16 of a mile west of Nevada State Route 318, midway between two small natural lakes called: Nesbit Lake on the north and Frenchie Lake on the south.
This land was first used as a cemetery in 1916. It is well fenced and cared for even though there is no grass. All but 2 of the graves are extended family of the Schofields who originally settled the land between the two lakes mentioned above. There were 41 graves on March 30, 2007.

Johnson recounts wild week on social media
April 12, 2013, Holly Cain, NASCAR.com
FORT WORTH, Texas -- It was a big week on social media for last week's big NASCAR Sprint Cup Series winner Jimmie Johnson. He announced on Twitter that he and wife Chandra are expecting their second child in September.
And he had a little fun with Junior Nation, too.
Johnson addressed both subjects Friday morning in the Texas Motor Speedway garage. And he was still smiling.
"I saw a theme developing and I just felt like having a little fun with it and kind of stirring the pot."
-- Jimmie Johnson
When Johnson -- as the race leader -- drove by Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s hobbled car during a late caution in Sunday's race at Martinsville Speedway, he drew the ire of Earnhardt's massively loyal and loud legions. They took to Twitter and questioned -- many angrily -- why the five-time champ would put his Hendrick Motorsports teammate down a lap instead of stopping on track and waiting for Earnhardt to get his car moving again. Earnhardt filed in line just behind Johnson.
"The car is stopped in the middle of the road and now it backs up and I know that I am the head of 42 cars,'' Johnson explained. "I assume he's (Earnhardt Jr.) backing up to let me by and I've been in that position where I've got to get turned around in front of the field and can't, and my goal is to get the hell out of the way. I just assumed he was backing up to let me go through.
"After talking to him and Stevie (Letarte, Earnhardt's crew chief), really the situation was I was just trying to get going and would liked to have not put him down a lap. But there is no fault held there by what I did. Again, I thought he was backing up to get out of the way."
Instead of passionately defending himself to the Twitter universe earlier in the week, the good-natured Johnson chose to poke back.
"You haters have it right,'' Johnson tweeted on Monday. "I'm a bad teammate, I have a cheated up car, I'm lucky and the race was fixed. Gotta love twitter.''
On Friday, he was still grinning about the situation.
"I just honestly wanted to have fun with it,'' Johnson said. "I saw a theme developing and I just felt like having a little fun with it and kind of stirring the pot. It's funny, after that tweet I haven't had much negative coming in.
"Again, I even said this in interviews earlier in the week, there is a small but loud fan base. I think all of us that work in the sport can sense that through the social channels. … I think there is a large chunk that are pro No. 48, then the majority are respectful of No. 48 (and) then there is a small portion that (isn't). I will take those numbers. That is fine by me."
Earnhardt said Thursday he wasn't upset with Johnson and would have done the same thing himself.
"He did actually try to slow down and I think that he saw that I had two left-side flat tires and it was pretty pointless for him to wait,'' Earnhardt said. "If he stopped at all, the guys behind him would have been able to pass him for that position. He couldn't give up that opportunity or take that chance or that risk.
"I would have done the same thing Jimmie did. I'm leading the race. I've got to think about my team and my car and what I'm trying to do. I don't think he did it out of spite or anything like that. He just was driving his race.''
The resulting victory put Johnson back atop the Sprint Cup Series standings by six points over Brad Keselowski, and Johnson's good news of his wife's pregnancy capped off a good week.
Fittingly, Johnson made the announcement on Twitter that daughter Genevieve "is so excited to be a big sister", considering that's how the couple announced her birth in July 2010.
With the upcoming birth expected to come as the 10-race Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup begins in earnest, Johnson said Friday he hasn't arranged for a back-up driver yet.
"We know that we need to, but we still have some time,'' Johnson said. "We are not sure who will be available come that time.
"I was joking with Aric Almirola last weekend if he wanted to be my back-up driver again, but he clearly has a full-time gig and can't do it. We will just have to see, but we will definitely have a plan like always.
"Our doctor has told me that a father has never missed a birth. That gives me a lot of confidence that I will be able to do my weekend job and then be around during the week to meet number two."
Comments are currently unavailable. We're working on the development of a NASCAR fan forum – please stay tuned.

The goal was Laine's 16th of the season and moved him into a tie for the NHL lead with Pittsburgh's Sidney Crosby.
Analysis: Laine has tallied four goals in his last three games after scoring once in his previous 10 contests. Laine's 16 goals are the most by a teenage rookie in his team's first 27 games of the season since Joe Sakic scored 16 for the Quebec Nordiques in the 1988-1989 season.
|Dec. 2 6:40 AM PT7:40 AM MT8:40 AM CT9:40 AM ET14:40 GMT22:40 7:40 AM MST9:40 AM EST18:40 UAE9:40 ETNaN:� BRT - Laine had two goals in the Jets' 6-3 loss to the Oilers on Thursday.
Analysis: That's goals in back-to-back games - and 15 on the season - for Laine, who had a six-game drought before Tuesday.
|Nov. 30 6:41 AM PT7:41 AM MT8:41 AM CT9:41 AM ET14:41 GMT22:41 7:41 AM MST9:41 AM EST18:41 UAE9:41 ETNaN:� BRT - Laine took his teammates' advice and it paid off with an end to his six-game goal drought. The rookie scored his 13th of the season with a high wrist shot past New Jersey Devils goalie Cory Schneider, helping the Winnipeg Jets to a 3-2 victory Tuesday night.
Analysis: ''People told me in the second intermission that I should try blocker (side),'' Laine said. ''It was the first shot, blocker, and it goes in."

Analysis: Half of those goals have come during a seven-game tear in which the 18-year-old has added three assists. Though it's likely Laine will hit a wall at some point, he should be locked into daily lineups until he does.

Analysis: The 18-year-old Finnish phenom has 11 goals through 14 games. He has five goals and two assists over his last three contests. One of those assists came Tuesday along with his fifth power-play goal and two penalty minutes.
|Nov. 7 6:26 AM PT7:26 AM MT8:26 AM CT9:26 AM ET14:26 GMT22:26 7:26 AM MST9:26 AM EST18:26 UAE9:26 ETNaN:� BRT - Laine found the back of the net once again, delivering his eighth goal of the young season in Sunday's loss to the Rangers.
Analysis: Auston Matthews has been receiving most of the hype among this season's rookie class, but Laine - picked right behind the Toronto star at No. 2 in this past draft - has been just as good with 11 points over his first 13 NHL games. The 18-year-old is a player fantasy owners must hold onto in keeper leagues.
|Oct. 28 6:06 AM PT7:06 AM MT8:06 AM CT9:06 AM ET13:06 GMT21:06 6:06 AM MST8:06 AM EST17:06 UAE9:06 ETNaN:� BRT - Laine scored twice on the power play to help the Jets beat the Dallas Stars 4-1 on Thursday night.
Analysis: Laine has four of Winnipeg's five power-play goals through seven games. He has six goals overall - tying him for the league lead with a number of players, including fellow rookie Auston Matthews of the Toronto Maple Leafs.
|Oct. 19 8:12 PM PT9:12 PM MT10:12 PM CT11:12 PM ET3:12 GMT11:12 8:12 PM MST10:12 PM EST7:12 UAE (+1)23:12 ETNaN:� BRT - Laine completed a hat trick 2:40 into overtime, helping the Winnipeg Jets overcome a four-goal deficit to beat the Toronto Maple Leafs 5-4 on Wednesday night.
Analysis: The confident Finn got the better of his first head-to-head matchup against fellow rookie Auston Matthews, tying the game with 55 seconds left in the third before winning it in overtime. Laine went second overall in the 2016 draft behind Matthews, despite Laine's insistence he should have gone first. Laine has four goals on the season, tying Matthews and three others for the NHL lead.
|Oct. 14 8:53 AM PT9:53 AM MT10:53 AM CT11:53 AM ET15:53 GMT23:53 8:53 AM MST10:53 AM EST19:53 UAE11:53 ET12:53 BRT - Laine shined in his NHL regular-season debut Thursday, scoring on the power play and assisting on Mathieu Perreault's tying goal during the Jets' three-goal rally in the third period of an overtime win over Carolina.
Analysis: The No. 2 overall pick in this year's draft whipped a wrist shot into the top corner of the net at 13:33 of the third for his first NHL goal. The 18-year-old Finnish phenom has drawn comparisons to legendary countryman Teemu Selanne.

Now THAT'S a hole
At least 142 killed by storm Agatha
A giant sinkhole caused by the rains of the storm in Guatemala City
June 1, 2010 - 1:18PM
Flooding and landslides from the season's first tropical storm have killed at least 142 people and left thousands homeless in Central America, officials said on Monday.
Dozens of people are still missing and emergency crews are struggling to reach isolated communities cut off by washed-out roads and collapsed bridges caused by Tropical Storm Agatha.
The sun emerged on Monday in hardest-hit Guatemala, where officials reported 118 dead and 53 missing. In the department of Chimaltenango - a province west of Guatemala City - landslides buried dozens of rural Indian communities and killed at least 60 people, Governmor Erick de Leon said.
"The department has collapsed," de Leon said. "There are a lot of dead people. The roads are blocked. The shelters are overflowing. We need water, food, clothes, blankets - but above all, money."
In the tiny village of Parajbei, a slide smothered three homes and killed 11 people.
"It was raining really hard and there was a huge noise," said Vicente Azcaj, 56, who ran outside and saw that a hill had crumbled. "Now everyone is afraid that the same will happen to their homes."
Volunteers from nearby villages worked non-stop since Sunday to recover the bodies in Parajbei, and on Monday they found the last two: brothers, aged four and eight, who were buried under tonnes of dirt, rocks and trees.
As a thank-you, rescuers got a plate of rice and beans from the mayor of nearby Santa Apolonia.
"It's a small thing, but it comes from the heart," Tulio Nunez told them through a translator.
Nunez said he worried about the well-being of survivors in the area because the landslides blocked roads and burst water pipes.
"They don't have anything to drink," he said.
In all some 110,000 people were evacuated in Guatemala.
Thousands more have fled their homes in neighbouring Honduras, where the death toll rose to 15 even as meteorologists predicted three more days of rain.
Two dams near the capital of Tegucigalpa overflowed into a nearby river, and officials warned people to stay away from swollen waterways.
"The risk is enormous," Mayor Ricardo Alvarez said.
In El Salvador, at least 179 landslides have been reported and 11,000 people were evacuated. The death toll was nine, President Mauricio Funes said.
About 95 per cent of the country's roads were affected by landslides, but most remain open, Transportation Minister Gerson Martinez said.
The Lempa River, which flows to the Pacific, topped its banks and flooded at least 20 villages, affecting some 6,000 people, said Jorge Melendez, director of the Civil Protection Agency.
Officials warned that the Acelhuate River, which cuts through San Salvador, was running at dangerously high levels and threatened to spill over into the capital's streets.
Agatha made landfall near the Guatemala-Mexico border Saturday as a tropical storm with winds up to 75k/ph. It dissipated the following day over the mountains of western Guatemala.
The rising death toll is reminding nervous residents of Hurricane Mitch, which hovered over Central America for days in 1998, causing flooding and mudslides that killed nearly 11,000 people and left more than 8,000 missing and unaccounted for.
Rescue efforts in Guatemala have been complicated by a volcanic eruption Thursday near the capital that blanketed parts of the area with ash and closed the country's main airport. Officials are now allowing helicopters and propeller planes to take off, but commercial flights remain grounded.
Sinkhole | Video, Picture, Photo | Sinkhole In Guatemala City
dear god! :eek:
Wow, just amazing. I wonder how deep that thing is.
It will make a hell of a backyard swimming pool......
Mother nature can be powerful & dangerous.
The sinkhole reminded me of the holes in that Fantastic Four movie with the Silver Surfer.
*not much width, only depth
Flooding opens up sinkholes in Guatemala City!
From sky view that thing looks endless! :eek:

Flooding opens up sinkholes in Guatemala City - Yahoo! News Photos
As Guatemala emerged from the downpours of Tropical Storm Agatha, it was struck by another natural disaster - a massive sinkhold that swallowed an entire building.
The hole, which formed at a street intersection Guatemala City, looks like a near-perfect circle and according to reports, it spread beneath a three-story structure, which fell into it. A private security guard is believed to have been killed.
The storm's rain is being blamed for creating the sinkhole, which form suddenly without warning and can range in size. Sinkholes are found throughout the world.
Flooding and landslides from the season's first tropical storm have killed at least 150 people and left thousands homeless in Central America, officials said. Guatemala was the hardest hit, with officials putting the death toll at 123, with another 90 still missing.
Sinkhole in Guatemala: Giant Could Get Even Bigger
A huge sinkhole in Guatemala City (map), Guatemala, crashed into being on Sunday, reportedly swallowing a three-story building—and echoing a similar, 2007 sinkhole in Guatemala.
The sinkhole has likely been weeks or even years in the making—floodwaters from tropical storm Agatha caused the sinkhole to finally collapse, scientists say.
The sinkhole appears to be about 60 feet (18 meters) wide and about 30 stories deep, said James Currens, a hydrogeologist at the University of Kentucky.
(See a Texas sinkhole picture.)
Sinkholes are natural depressions that can form when water-saturated soil and other particles become too heavy and cause the roofs of existing voids in the soil to collapse.
Another way sinkholes can form is if water enlarges a natural fracture in a limestone bedrock layer. As the crack gets bigger, the topsoil gently slumps, eventually leaving behind a sinkhole.
It's unclear which mechanism is behind the 2010 Guatemala sinkhole, but in either case the final collapse can be sudden, Currens said.
(Related: "Sinkhole Holds 12,000-Year-Old Clues to Early Americans.")
2010 Guatemala Sinkhole Could Grow
A ruptured sewer line is thought to have caused the sinkhole that appeared in Guatemala City in 2007.
The 2010 Guatemala sinkhole could have formed in a similar fashion, Currens said. A burst sanitary or storm sewer may have been slowly saturating the surrounding soil for a long time before tropical storm Agatha added to the inundation.
"The tropical storm came along and would have dumped even more water in there, and that could have been the final trigger that precipitated the collapse," Currens said.
(See Guatemala pictures from National Geographic Traveler magazine.)
Depending on the makeup of the subsurface layer, the Guatemala sinkhole "could eventually enlarge and take in more buildings," he said.
Typically, officials fill in sinkholes with large rocks and other debris. But the 2010 Guatemala sinkhole "is so huge that it's going to take a lot of fill material to fill it," Currens said.
"I don't know what they're going to do."

A good week of practice might mean another good season opener for Redlands East Valley's football team.
The Wildcats have won nine of their last 10 season openers, including last season's 50-0 victory over Summit.
REV and Summit face off again tonight, and in other games today, Palm Springs is at Redlands, California Military Institute is at Arrowhead Christian and Citrus Valley is at Beaumont.
"We had a great week of practice," REV coach Kurt Bruich said. "That stuff (scrimmages) is good. We're really excited after a good week of practices."
Last week's productive scrimmage with Vista Murrieta, Villa Park and King led into this week's productive practices.
It was physical, and the Wildcats were successful on offense but had some issues on the defensive end.
"It went well," Bruich said. "We scored a lot but gave up a lot of points too. But you are going from the 40 in, so it is hard to judge. We were just running plays."
The scrimmage was as tough as they come.
"Vista Murrieta is very good. Villa Park is very good," Bruich said. "King is in the Big VIII, which is good. We aren't afraid of anyone. It's a good measure of where we are. It's the best thing to do. What do you have to lose? It's a scrimmage."
Last season, REV had its way with Summit, winning in a rout. Bruich doesn't expect that this season.
"Summit has a bit of an advantage because of its zero-week game," Bruich said. "Teams make the biggest improvements from week one and two."
Summit opened the season with a 6-6 tie with Etiwanda last week.
"They're talented," Bruich said of Summit. "They do a lot of things. We will see what happens. They tied with Etiwanda, which is a good team."
Redlands East Valley landed at the No. 3 spot in the season-opening CIF Southern Section Inland Division poll. Citrus Hill was at No. 2 and Rancho Verde topped the rankings.
"We're familiar (with those teams) in a sense," Bruich said.
It's too early for Bruich to study the CIF polls.
"I haven't seen them," Bruich said. "I am sure there are teams ranked higher than us. That's all I know."
Bruich says the Wildcats are focused on today's game, not anything down the road.
"We have to put all of that aside," Bruich said. "All we are concerned about is Friday, Summit. That is my philosophy. We worry about us and about getting better."

Miracle Cure
Milagro Herbs has recently moved to a snazzy new location on Paseo de Peralta (just north of the intersection with Acequia Madre, though the actual address is 419 Orchard Drive, 820-6321), and the herbal shop and apothecary is up and running and ready to help everyone on your list beat the winter doldrums. If you know generally what your giftee needs (does she have dry skin? Does his nose run all day?), you can craft a custom gift bag starting at $15 and going up to…well, however much you feel like spending!
Free to B
Bodhi Bazaar's (in Sanbusco Market Center, 500 Montezuma St., 982-3880) new fragrance, Just B ($42), is a fresh mix of rose, frankincense and other organic ingredients, and is a perfect complement to the shop's awesome and slightly Bohemian fare. As an added bonus, 10 percent of proceeds from the perfume sales benefit Youth Shelters and Family Services, Santa Fe's busy nonprofit dedicated to the care and development of homeless and at-risk kids.
Lay It Down
Saachi Organics (523 W. Cordova Road, 982-3938), the Santa Fe-based company that specializes in great sheet sets and buckwheat hull pillows, doesn't stop at the utilitarian side of things. These beautiful meditation
pillows ($56-$76), available in both cotton and organic silk, are a perfect addition to any sacred space. Handmade in Albuquerque, they're also local as local can be.
Massive Clean
Those paltry little bars of soap your friends put out in the guest bathroom? Feh! We need a serious bar of soap that doesn't screw around. Bobby's Cosmetics (328 S. Guadalupe St., 982-1645) carries Claus Porto soap ($16), 12.4 oz of pure cleaning power—but still with a delicate scent. The company, based in Portugal, also shuns animal testing, which we appreciate.
She's Like a Rainbow
Does your lady change her eyeshadow like some people change their minds? The Glam Box ($27) has her covered. Approximately one billion colors (yes, we counted) of lip gloss, blush and eyeshadows, plus applicators, are all packed into this compact and super-inexpensive little box that fits comfortably into a purse. So if she decides in the middle of a purple night that it's actually a green night, no problem. Hook her up at Wink (in Sanbusco Market Center, 500 Montezuma St., 988-3840).

Discussion in 'The National Football League' started by gg no re, Jan 22, 2013.
I like him and wouldn't have a problem at all with the Texans trying to get him in here.
Won't happen but still...
Damn it, if we hadn't signed Shaub before the year then this would be a fantastic opening. Unfortunately, there isn't any option but to start Shaub because of the money attached to him. A'int gonna happen.
Did San Francisco or Seattle hesitate when they started Kaepernick and Wilson?
Agreed. I don't think Matt's contract makes him the defacto starter. If the Texans didn't think he could play, he wouldn't play.
But, I think the contract says they've got absolute confidence in him.
Separate names with a comma.

My computer is AMD Phenom II X4 64 bit with Windows 7 64 bit and my scanner is ScanJet G4010 (L1956A)
I've installed Windows 7 on my computer. Then i've downloaded and installed new software (setup_full_g4000_3) and driver (setup_basic_g4000_3) for windows 7. Installation seems to be successful but when I open "HP Solution" and click on "scan document", return an error message that tells me is missing 'hpg4000' and to insert the disk with the same name. Also if I try to use "HP Photosmart", the application even starts.
I tried to perform both a custom and default installation and also an install with antivirus disabled.
However, the system sees the scanner properly and everything works if I scan using windows7 tool.
How can I fix this annoying problem?
I hope that everything is clear ..... I apologize for my English .....
Thanks in advance!

26 September 2016
More than 1,200 hectares of surplus public sector land is being released across sites which stretch right across the UK. The sites are expected to provide land for up to 17,000 new homes, contributing to the government's target of building 160,000 new homes by 2020 and all of the money generated from land sales will be invested back into meeting the needs of the Armed Forces.
The land will include two golf courses at RAF Henlow and Southwick Park after Defence Secretary Michael Fallon questioned the need for them during a speech on defence reform, where he confirmed the estate optimisation strategy would aim to reduce the size of the defence estate by 30% over 25 years. The announcement – which is the third tranche of sites to be released - means the MOD has now freed up enough brownfield and surplus public sector land for up to 39,000 new homes, expected to generate around £930 million.
The optimisation strategy aims to reduce the size of the MOD estate which totals just under half a million hectares by selling off sites for which there is no longer a long-term Defence requirement. This will reduce unnecessary estate running costs for Defence and result in a smaller, but better, Defence estate which caters for the future Armed Forces and delivers upon the commitments made in Strategic Defence & Security Review 2015 (SDSR15). The MOD expects to make further announcements as part of the strategy later in 2016.
The list of sites includes,
RAF Henlow (Bedfordshire)
Middlewick Ranges (Essex)
Amport House (Andover)
Land at Harley Hill (Catterick)
Chalgrove Airfield (Oxford) Transferred to the Homes and Communities Agency
Colerne Airfield (Chippenham)
Azimghur Barracks (Chippenham)
Prince William of Gloucester Barracks (Grantham)
Old Dalby (Melton Mowbray)
Venning Barracks (Telford)
Parsons Barracks (Donnington)
Southwick Park (Fareham)
Royal Marines Stonehouse (Plymouth)

Coile's spot in the finals did not come as easily. In a game that went down to the wire, Coile edged Hilsman 29-28. Hilsman's Janitha Mattox was the only player to score in double figures with 11.
Clarke and Coile will play for the championship Saturday at noon. Hilsman and Burney-Harris-Lyons will battle for third place at 9:30 a.m.

A Great Wine Night
Posted: Apr 8, 2008 4:15pm ET
Wine dinners. How many of you have been to them? I assume quite a few of you are passionate about wine. If you love the connoisseurship side of cigars, there's plenty of good reason to feel the same way about wine. It's a handcrafted product that comes out of the earth, and is brought to you by people with a passion for taste and flavor, and there is a foundation of knowledge that you need to acquire to fully enjoy it. But how many of these dinners have you attended in which the wine or the food or both are disappointments? Sometimes it is the execution of the evening, sometimes it is the selection of wines, sometimes it is the choice of food. Whatever the problem, the successful wine dinner is harder to pull off than you might imagine.
I attended one last Friday night where there were no problems. Now, I must give full disclosure because I'm a member of the wine committee that helped organize the evening, but really, other than choose the night, we did nothing except show up and bring our friends. The committee has been charged with improving the wine program at my country club, and we're now into our first full season.
The best thing we did was hire the right consultant. Glen Vogt, the former general manager of Windows on the World before it was destroyed in the 9/11 attacks and a walking encyclopedia of wine, has been putting new selections on the club's list. For the dinner, he worked with the spring menu in our casual dining room, and decided to focus on Italian wines. The wines were not just your standard well-known Italian brands but a selection of interesting and unusual wines; they'll all be on the club's list this summer. There was a Prosecco to start, white wines from Alto Adige and Veneto, more white wines including an Arneis from Piedmont, and a spectacular Roscetto from Lazio that tasted like a great white Burgundy. The red wines included a Dolcetto d'Alba, a Chianti Classic Riserva, a super-Tuscan and a Barolo. It was all finished off by a wonderful sweet wine from the Veneto region.
The food started off with a cold mussel dish (the least successful one of the night), and then grilled salmon, shrimp and sweet pea risotto, spring lamb with a tomato and bacon gratin and a symphony of different chocolate treats for desert.
Glen Vogt presented each wine, and talked about not only the region where it came from, but the specific wineries and winemakers of each bottle. It was informative, and given the intimate size of the room (there were about 60 of us there), there was a lively exchange of questions and answers, and a lot of fun.
By the end of the night, we all felt like not only had we gotten a mini-education in Italian wines, but we all walked away with a favorite wine to order off the spring wine list.
I only had one parting thought. The next dinner in June will introduce the summer menu, and by then, it will be warm enough that we can walk outside and have cigars. That will turn a great evening into a perfect one.

Gordon: I also just recently attended a wine party at my best friend's house in Yonkers, New York. He has a wonderful apartment that has a huge balcony overlooking the Hudson River with great views of the city and George Washington Bridge. He had quite a selection of Italian wines with the likes of reds: Chianti Reserva and whites: Pinot Grigio, also an Australian Shiraz, California Chardonnay and French Syrah. It turned out to be a beautiful evening where we smoked Cuban cigars and drank single-malt scotch in the balcony. I actually met a friend of his wife that owns a cigar bar and lounge named Havana House of Cigars in Middletown, NY. He also brought some of his own cigars that he makes and sells. If you are ever in the mood for great Italian and Florentine cuisine, then stop by Trattoria Toscana in the West Village, downtown Manhattan. I invite you, Dave, Jack, Marvin and James to have lunch or dinner at your leisure. When you call, just mention my name to Franco Fazzuoli, my father's partner. I am always there most nights' bartending as well after leaving the office.

Bath, Banes, United Kingdom, 2012/01/19 - The New Year is only just here, but Future Publishing is already gearing up for another exciting year, having revealed the dates and venues for its 2012 Adrian Flux Auto Event Series - Futureplc.com. LSE: FUTR
The publisher behind magazines such as Fast Car, Fast Ford and Total Vauxhall is set to host another action-packed year, holding six high profile automotive events throughout the summer season.
In 2011 almost 80,000 car enthusiasts from across the world visited Futures Auto Series and some of the biggest names in the industry, from former Stig Ben Collins to stunt driver Terry Grant, were in attendance to entertain the crowds.

Serie A: Big win sends Lazio up to fourth
Lazio moved up to fourth in Serie A after a convincing 3-0 win over third-placed Palermo tonight.
Two goals from Tommaso Rocchi, the first just before the half-time whistle and the second from the penalty spot 12 minutes from time, helped the Bluceleste to their first win in 2007.
Sebastiano Siviglia scored the other goal in a strong performance for Delio Rossi's side at the Renzo Barbera Stadium.
In today's only other game, Torino were beaten by an inspired Paulo Barreto at the Olympic Stadium, going down 3-2 to Udinese despite a late revival.
The Brazilian striker set up the first goal for Christian Obodo after 18 minutes before grabbing the second himself in the 33rd.
He limped off injured just before the break, but his replacement Gyan Asamoah did not disappoint either, putting Udinese three up on the hour mark.
Elvis Abbruscato netted twice in the last 13 minutes, while a second yellow card for Gabriele Cioffi saw Torino finish the match with 10 men.

Have Parenting Questions? Ask a Parenting Counselor for Answers
Hello and Thank You for using Just Answer. I am sorry to hear about the problems that you are experiencing with your daughter. It does sound like you are a very loving and supportive parent and grand parent. You must continue to keep the lines of communication open and honest between you and your daughter. You must also be firm and consistent with her in her decisions as long as she is living under your roof. Tell her that she needs to be a positive role model for her daughter and that you would be willing to watch and care for her daughter while she goes over to her boyfriend's house. If she comes and goes as she pleases with her two year old at all hours, she is simply displaying a lack of maturity. Does she work? Is she employed? You must guide her into making better decisions. Tell her what you expect from her as a mother. Remind her of how she was raised and the sacrifices that you made for her. Hopefully, she is not taking advantage of living with you. As an adult with a child, she must act like an adult. The teen years are behind her. It is unfortunate that she had a child so young but she must aspire to make something more out of her life. Professional counseling is also another option for her if simply talking to her gives no results.
If you need more advice, just ask!!!!

Rhode Islanders recognized as heroes at State House
A group of 15 Rhode Islanders were recognized at the State House on Thursday for saving lives.
All of them received the lifesaving medal from Gov. Lincoln Chafee and Secretary of State Ralph Mollis.
Bruce Quinn was honored for what he did after the circus accident at the Dunkin' Donuts Center in May. Eight acrobats, hanging by their hair, fell more than 25 feet to the ground.
"That event, it was horrific. And it was a complete team effort," he said.
"Quinn, an assistant explosives and flammable liquids technician ran to the performers, who were lying in a pile on the ground with bloody faces," Mollis said.
Quinn was keeping an eye on pyrotechnics when the performers fell. He jumped over a barrier and ran to help them.
"Everybody acted in unison. We hadn't worked together before, really, but when you're in the business and you've had training, you have that practice if you will, you just go into auto," Quinn said.
Quinn accepted the award but made sure to list the names of many others who helped after the accident and said he was grateful no one was killed.
"And I felt uncomfortable receiving, being singled out. I was grateful, but this is for everybody that was there. This is not for me," he said.
Other good deeds ranged from saving people from fires and helping someone who was having a heart attack.
"Today we witness firsthand the inspirational examples of how people can make a dramatic difference," Mollis said.

Have Medical Questions? Ask a Doctor Online!
HI, Thanks for your question. My name is***** and I am here to help you today. I will be happy to help you with your follow-up questions also.
I am going to address your primary concern but later you can ask anything you want. If you were able to walk after that trauma and you were able to put weight on that ankle then fracture is not likely. It is more likely to be a muscular or ligament strain.
I will address your question in two aspects; what you can do yourself and what your doctor can do for you. As far as what you can do yourself is concerned in such situations you should rest your ankle, avoid putting weight on it.
OTC tab aleve twice daily helps too.
Massage of the area with OTC bengay gel and then application of crepe bandage over the area will be helpful.
Make sure that you keep your affected leg elevated specially while sleeping with the help of a pillow.
Hopefully in one to two days you will feel much better.
If symptoms persist then see your doctor but hopefully will not be required.
Any question?
thats what i was thinking but wanted a docs advise before going to the ER. like i said i took a shower and it felt pretty good so muscle is the first thing that came to mind. anything else i should look for. honestly after i rolled it i went right back to work and the pain was almost non existent.
You thought right. It's not fracture because in that case you should have got severe pain immediately.
You just need to follow my advise regarding resting your ankle, elevation massage with bengay, crepe bandage and elevation with a pillow and you will be feel much better soon.
Probably you over exerted and injury got aggravated.
sweet! thanks for the help!
I wish you good luck that you get well soon, please ask if you have any question because our discussion always remains open so you can always ask more till you are satisfied, You can come back here to ask anything. I will be glad to help you always.

Resale Price Maintenance by Japanese Newspapers
In Japan, newspapers enjoy a special exemption from antimonopoly prohibitionsagainst resale price maintenance (suppliers' stipulations that bar downstreamfirms from price discounting), but are each required to set uniform pricesthroughout Japan. In fact, the newspapers have rarely changed their subscriptionprices in recent years, and the three leading national dailies, together accountingfor about half the total industry circulation, and thirteen other papers accountingfor another one eighth of industry circulation, all have set exactly the same price(3,925 yen per month). The remaining local papers all set lower prices. Theauthorized resale price maintenance, and prohibition against prices thatvarygeographically, have allowed collusive price increases that I here estimate to bearound 500 yen per month, entailing economic waste of about 300-billion yen($3-billion) per year but adding only around 16-billion yen per year to newspaperprofit. The increased profit margin on subscriptions is much offset by reducedsale of ads.

Weslaco police chief under fire for conduct during bank robbery
Wed, 05 Oct 2011 03:54:00 GMT —
Juan Sifuentes has been Weslaco's police chief for about a year but he's already coming under fire for alleged neglect of duty and unsatisfactory performance.
At the very least he is required to keep these individuals within his sight at a safe distance and report what he saw to dispatchers and request assistance, said Roberto Garcia That didn't happen.
Roberto Garcia, the Regional Attorney with the Combined Law Enforcement Associations of Texas (CLEAT), sent a five-page letter to Weslaco City Commissioners describing how Sifuentes failed to follow procedure during an armed robbery he witnessed last month.
On September 16th, two armed suspects robbed the La Joya Area Federal Credit Union and supposedly Chief Sifuentes was in the parking lot, watched the suspects drive off, without following them.
CLEAT wants the chief to be removed from his duties while an internal investigation is launched
"We are requesting that the city conduct it's own investigation into these allegations and find out if there's any truth to them and if so to take the appropriate actions, said Garcia.
City Manager Leo Olivares received the union's letter last Friday.
He says he needs to gather more information before deciding what action to take.
"Right now we are in the process of doing a preliminary investigation into the matter, said Olivares. We TMre trying to assess the facts. If we find sufficient concern we will look at options including conducting an internal affairs investigation or bringing in a third party.
Part of that investigation includes listening to audio communications between the chief, officers and dispatch
But Olivares says he's never had any complaints on Sifuentes in the past.
Chief Sifuentes, who took over the position in February, did not answer or return our calls for comment.
It's also unclear whether he was on duty at the time of the incident or if he was inside a police vehicle.RAW VIDEO: WESLACO BANK ROBBERY

Willie Berry in action to for the 2ndXV against BannockburnKirkcaldy 2xv 41 v 8 Bannockburn
The Blues2s got their league campaign back on track with a comfortable, but very scrappy win at home against a determined Bannockburn team. The Blues forwards had the upper hand all day and with a wee bit more composure in the final 10mtrs, the score should have been a bit more one-sided.
Straight from the start pressure was put on the visitors and Brookes took advantage of space on the blindside to score. Walker added another with a strong run from 10 mtrs out crashing over near the posts. Bannockburn gave themselves a small glimmer of hope with a well kicked penalty, before good handling after a clean lineout take created space for Anderson to dot down for the Blues 3rd try. Castle-Smith converting well from the touchline. The backs were also running strong and with Castle-Smith varying his game well, spaces and opportunities were made if not always taken. Walker scored his second with a carbon copy of his first before some slack defence let Bannockburn in for a try to make the half time score 24 v 8.
The second half became an increasingly frustrating affair. An early try should have settled the team and allow the game plan to work and bed in but Bannockburn were sticking to their task and making things really difficult at the breakdown area, slowing the ball down and not allowing the quick clean ball the backs were needing. The Blues2s reverted to a forwards battle, Berry , Graham, Low and Geddes all being held up over the line. After more hard graft by his team mates, Mitchell scored a flop over on his return to rugby. Bannockburn never gave up and their rampaging flanker added another try before their centre crossed again. The home side were to have the final say though, a searing break by Hancock left his would be chasers grasping at air to allow him to score a well deserved try.
Final score Kirkcaldy 2XV 41 v 8 Bannockburn .
There were some good individual performances and a lot of strong running in the game and although 7 tries were scored and the result was never really in doubt, its hard to be too happy when so many opportunities were created but not taken.

Nudists Threatened
December 3, 2012 permalink
Nudists engage in marginalized but harmless behavior, along with vegetarians, Amish, smokers, medical marijuana users and the obese. Child protectors treat them as easy targets. Today's story is about the naturist Hardock family in Bowmanville Ontario. The parents ran a nudist bed and breakfast, screening clients to be sure they were not coming for a sexual experience. CAS, without warning, interviewed their daughter at school with lots of sexual questions. When the girl got home she asked her dad to explain some of the questions. Nine-year-old Angelina wanted to know what an erection was.
Naked Truth: Bowmanville nudists angry over how Children's Aid questioned their daughter
Parents say daughter 'interrogated' in principal's office
CLARINGTON -- For three years, Ron and Lan Hardock have quietly run a nudist bed and breakfast in Bowmanville. Then an anonymous complainant, concerned about the welfare of their two young daughters, brought Durham Children's Aid Society to their eight-year-old daughter Angelina's school.
On Thursday, Oct. 25 Angelina was called to the principal's office to speak to two strangers, her mother said. Her parents said she was scared she was in trouble as she was "interrogated" over her lunch hour and asked deeply personal questions by Durham Children's Aid Society workers, who Ms. Hardock said had done insufficient research into the nudist (or naturist) lifestyle.
"If someone goes to the school and asks your kids questions of a sexual nature, any parent would be concerned," said Mr. Hardock.
She said Angelina was uncomfortable with the workers, who reportedly asked her if she was ever naked, if her parents took pictures of naked guests, if she was ever left alone with guests and had ever been touched or been asked to touch another person's genitals. Angelina was asked if her friends knew her parents were nudists and if she ever had anyone over for sleepovers. She was asked about her younger sister Jennifer -- if she was comfortable around naked people and whether she still slept in a crib.
"They just grab your kids and ask them these (questions)," said Ms. Hardock. "I'm the mother. I do not want anybody to bother my kids. It's being violated -- our privacy. We're law-abiding citizens."
Mr. Hardock said his daughter told him she was given no choice about answering the questions or leaving the principal's office.
Durham CAS communications coordinator Andrea Maenza said via e-mail that the organization is unable to comment on any specific cases "that we may or may not be involved in" with anyone other than the family members who are directly involved.
"We do have an established protocol with all local school boards, and we are permitted by law to interview children at school," said Ms. Maenza.
The parents are also upset with school officials -- who they feel broke their trust by letting their daughter be interviewed alone, without phoning the child's parents.
"Student safety is our first priority and we have to follow the instructions of CAS," said Judy Malfara, Communications Officer for the Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board.
The Hardocks say they were told by the CAS they came to the agency's attention through an anonymous complaint. After the school interview, a CAS worker arrived unannounced at their property and looked through the entire house before interviewing the parents. Ms. Hardock says she was asked about still breastfeeding her four-year-old daughter. The case worker also wanted to know about the couple's sex life while their youngest daughter slept in their room for the four months relatives were visiting from China.
After investigating the Hardocks, the CAS closed the case. The Hardocks were relieved but also angry about what their family had been put through.
"They're too powerful. I didn't do anything wrong. Why am I scared? I need to speak out," said Ms. Hardock. "They treat you already like a criminal."
Behind the parents' anger is fear. Ms. Hardock went from not knowing what the CAS was to learning her children could be taken away while at school, because there was a perceived risk of abuse and the onus would be on the parents to fight in court for their children's return.
"You should wait to see if the child has been abused. They try to jump in, in advance, and families could be impacted," said Mr. Hardock.
Mr. and Ms. Hardock wanted to officially complain about how their daughter was interviewed. Complaints against Ontario Children's Aid societies are submitted in writing to the Children's Aid Society in question, or by going to the provincial Child and Family Services Review Board. The couple would like to see CAS complaints handled by the Ontario Ombudsman, which investigates complaints against other provincial government organizations.
The Hardock's Bowmanville bed and breakfast is surrounded by a high wooden fence and gate. The naturists guests are comfortable with their bodies and like to be nude. Guests have to book at least a week in advance, provide ID and are screened by Ms. Hardock before they arrive to make sure they're not expecting a sexual environment.
"Any B and B would have the same concerns...if anything, naturist (bed and breakfasts) are safer. If someone is nude they can't hide," said Mr. Hardock. "Angelina has been around naturists most of her life. After (CAS) left, they asked about erections and I had to explain what it is. In all her years around naturists, she's never seen one."
Ms. Hardock said she doesn't force her children toward nudism. Unless it's quite hot, the little girls like wearing clothes and are dressed.
"This is very natural and they're thinking something evil," said Ms. Hardock of the CAS. "It's possible my kids now feel naturist is wrong. We raise our kids. It's our business."

Apple Settles with SorensonCompanies drop claims
Apple had filed suit against Sorenson back in April over Sorenson's licensing of Spark technology to Macromedia, claiming a breach of a distribution agreement in which Sorenson was supposed to have certain provided compression technologies exclusively for the QuickTime platform. Sorenson followed up in July with a countersuit, claiming that Apple's original suit "chilled sales that Sorenson expected to achieve through co-marketing efforts with Macromedia."
Neither company offered further comment on the settlement.

From what I remember the iRiver Story will accept them.
Yes it will, though the one answer I've received so far from iRiver points out that the Story was never designed to reflow DOC files or most PDFs, so - depending on how they were formatted in the first place - you may not be able to read them very easily.
Their suggestion is to reformat the documents in the first place, and use something like 24pt for the font size to make a new PDF. That's hardly practical, I feel, and not achievable if you have the PDF but not the document it originally came from. Otherwise,
PDFs will reflow when you zoom them - when the PDF is open on the Story, if you hit the Options button, the pop-up menu will have an item saying "Reflow". Not all PDFs reflow, though, and that seems to depend on their contents and how they were generated in the first place, not on the Story's capabilities. As a format, PDF by its nature wasn't intended to be reflowable, and it's one of the formats that fares the least well in conversion to ePub. So I guess points for trying to iRiver for including support for the format, but it's not the solution it sounds like in the advertising material.
With ePubs, I tend to go in (using Sigil) and edit the font size. (You can only do this if the ePub doesn't have DRM applied, obviously.) The font size is usually specified early in the style sheet - and then, of course, you have to check that other attributes aren't applied later in the CSS that also specify a font size - and for the Story, I usually specify about 20 or 24 pt. I find that's about equivalent to a paperback book when the Story opens the file in its default setting. (The alternative is not resetting the font size, and using the middle zoom setting on an ePub, but personally I find that makes the text too big, and you get too little copy to a page. And one advantage of setting the font size in the file itself is that you don't have to alter the zoom setting - if you're reading a book off the SD chip rather than the Story's internal memory, then the Story won't remember the setting anyway on that file.)
Since the Story supports ePub, it's a bit of a pity it doesn't also support HTML, which would have made life a little easier. Ah well. I'm hoping the new firmware might improve the way the Story handles TXT files, but I'm not counting on it.
It's not quite so easy as buy the reader, plug it in, copy files across and sit down with a cup of tea and read, is it?
I was hoping for that. But it seems that's true of pretty much any of the ereaders. (The Kindle might be a bit different, if you're only trying to read books pre-formatted by the publishers. I've never tried the Kindle - ironically, I bought the Story so I wouldn't feel locked into a specific format, but the only one it supports very well is ePub, so I'm effectively locked in anyway. But at least it's not to a specific
Good luck with it all, nohmi2.
