Cary, N.C. — Please rise for the Honorable Judge and Burgiatrist in Residence Carolyn McLain.
Carolyn: We are here today to hear the arguments of Senior Burgiatrist Michael Marino and Burger Evangelist The Reverend Donald Corey. Before we started, we flipped a patty and Dr. Marino has the honor of presenting his case first. Dr. Marino?
Michael: Thank you, your honor. May it please the court. I present to the court that a burger must be made from the ground meat of a formerly living, breathing cow. Now, there are those that will say that chicken, turkey, or even bison are suitable substitutes for a cow burger.
Bison are described as more aggressive than the cow. They are wild shaggy creatures. The dirty, hulking hippies, if you will, of the bovine world. Is this the type of animal we want to feed our children? What kind of world is it we live in that we can grind up any meat or vegetable matter and call it a hamburger? I fear for our great nation if we hold the bison burger to the same ethereal level as the glorious cow burger. First it's bison burgers. Before you know it, it's Birkenstocks and patchouli.
Your honor, I cannot in good conscience call a ground bison sandwich a burger. It is your right as an American to eat whatever you wish. However, never call such a creation a hamburger.
Don: Your honor, allow me to present my rebuttal. My esteemed colleague is afraid to admit that the Bison is the noble elegant brother of the cow and, thus, a valid expression of the hamburger. This fear only lessens the chance for you and the world as a whole to experience the heavenly taste of blue skies and undulating fields of natural grasses. Dare I say, the taste of America.
Do they not both eat grass? Do they not both have four chambered stomachs? Do they not both chew their own cud? Do they not both travel in herds? And, most importantly, do they not both make great burgers?
Your honor, tear down this wall of prejudice and taste freedom. Recognize Bison as the equal to the cow.
Carolyn: I am going to retire to West Park Tavern to deliberate over this matter and enjoy an outstanding burger. A beast of a burger. Ten ounces of bison or moo-cow on a brioche bun. Whether is was mooing or grunting in its former life, the results are the same: taste buds getting trampled with flavor. A thick burger cooked to a perfect medium. Crispy bacon, pimento cheese that doesn't overwhelm or cause structural build issues, a bun that is firm yet yielding.
I am still undecided whether a burger made of bison meat should be considered a burger. What I am sure of, though, is that I give the West Park Tavern burger a 4.5 out of 5.
Court adjourned.

It took the village of Dagsboro to help save Clayton Theater
DAGSBORO—Through an outpouring of community support—and a little Hollywood-styled luck—the Clayton Theater managed to upgrade its movie projection systems by converting to digital technology on March 7, allowing the 65-year-old movie house to continue to show first-run films, like its current showing of "Son of God."
On many levels Joanne Howe had a horrible 2013. When we last we checked in on Howe it was February 2013 and she seemed optimistic, but a little shaky, and why wouldn't she? She had lost the love of her life, her husband Ed, late September in 2012 and had found herself facing an industry upgrade-or-lose edict in January 2013.
When the Howes moved to the Eastern Shore they landed in Berlin, but moved to Dagsboro when an opportunity arose to buy the Clayton in 2000. Ed was a developer and the couple thought running a neighborhood movie theater "would be a fun venture," she said. Besides, Howe noted, since her dad's name was Clayton, "I thought that was pretty cool."
It is obvious to see that the Howes tried to retain much of the building's original elements. The art deco design embellishments of the theater are evident from the outside marque to the interior wall covering, lighting and paneling features of the 350-seat theater.
There have been some essential modern conveniences added. The seating includes comfortable chairs, complete with cup holders; the lobby is decorated with vintage movie posters, which are also for sale; speakers were added; and the concession stand is stocked full of the usual popcorn and movie munchies. It is also very clean.
The theater showed movies in 35 millimeter celluloid film on the original MotioGraph projector that came with the building, which was built in 1948, but the new era of cinema was going digital. Film manufacturer Kodak was in bankruptcy and Fuji was no longer making 35 mm film stock.
So the major studios last year alerted their affiliated theaters they would no longer be printing film in the 35 mm format and that a conversion to the new digital technology would be necessary. The news hit the nation's 2,000 to 3,000 small town theaters like Howe's hard because it meant making an $85,000 investment to update equipment. It was clear some venues would not survive the conversion.
Howe began a "Save the Place" campaign to try to raise the funding needed for the upgrade at the Clayton.
Then a series of miraculous events occurred.
Howe announced she would be showing movie classics to save her theater, which she said received widespread coverage by the local media. As a result, on the first night of the campaign 200 people showed up. Sandie Hancock Gerken, a daughter of the family that originally owned the theater compiled a commemorative book, "Memories of the Clayton Theatre: A Look Back," and printed 350 copies so the proceeds could benefit the effort.
Two local bands, the Buddy Holly tribute band "Oh Boy!", and the blues, and rock and roll band Skinny Leg Pet, held benefit concerts from the theater's stage that Howe said had audiences "literally dancing in the aisles."
The Dagsboro Volunteer Fire Department sponsored an event that raised $10,000 for the theater. In addition, Howe sold t-shirts, held special events, literally pulling out all the stops to try to raise the funds necessary to purchase the needed equipment. "By the end of the summer we were halfway there," Howe said.
Many of the studios have helped the small movie houses too. As the end of 2013 neared they announced they would continue to print on 35 mm until they expended their inventories. "The decision to continue to use the film stock remaining gives small theaters a little more time," Howe said. "They were making the elimination at a slower pace to hopefully get people like us in," she added.
By November, Howe said, "I could see we were getting really close to our goal." Close, but not exactly.
Then in February the digital projector manufacturer made an astounding announcement. It had managed to streamline its production process, creating a smaller and significantly less expensive digital projection system. The price of the new projector, according to Howe—$6,500.
"We didn't need a full-blown system," she said. She did not need the add-on to show 3-D features either, since the patrons she asked did not express much interest in 3-D movies. "They don't like wearing the glasses," she said. But what she did add was a feature that would allow hearing impaired movie-goers to hear, as well as see, all the action with special headsets.
"I know Ed would be thrilled to hear this new system," Howe sad. He had developed a problem with his hearing. "He liked sitting in the back, but was forced to sit in the middle" of the rows of seats so he could hear what was going on, she added. She paused when she was reminded that the new system might be viewed as a tribute of sorts to her late husband, because it would allow him to sit wherever he wanted without missing a thing.
Now the new equipment is installed and the conversion is complete.
With the new technology Howe said she can offer special screenings, including DVDs and PowerPoint presentations for corporate meetings or selected reserved movie events for organizations and church groups. She can reserve sections of the theater for groups or party events, including the 75 seats in the upstairs balcony. She said she can even show simulcast broadcasts, which she is considering doing for the next Super Bowl.
Howe said this summer she wants to show Warner Bros.'s remake of the sci-fi classic "Godzilla," which is scheduled to premiere in May.
Howe became emotional as she reflected over the challenges, uncertainties, and ultimately triumphs that occurred in less than a one-year span of time. "We've been so blessed," she said. "I always had faith," she said as she lightly dabbed at her eyes. She stopped for a moment and then also admitted there were times "I had my doubts throughout." She credited Gerken and her family for helping keep her spirits up when the goal seemed too formidable. "They really inspired me and helped me have a more positive outlook," Howe said.
"I can't thank everyone enough for their support and encouragement over the past year," she said. To show her gratitude she held a special screening of "Saving Mr. Banks," as a thank you gesture for her supporters. The community effort will now allow her to "Continue to give people the best entertainment for the best price," she said.
On Monday evenings the doors open at 6:15 p.m. and the movie begins at 7 p.m., for the "Clayton Classics" series, which cost $4. The theater is closed all day on Tuesdays. Regular-priced tickets for adults are $8.50 and $6.50 for children, senior citizens and matinees. Matinees are shown at 2:30 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday. The theater can also be rented for special events.
The theater is located at 33246 Main St., in Dagsboro, Del. The theater telephone number is 302-732-9606, and the box office telephone number is 302-732-3744.

Bucs release Dexter Jackson
Admitting one of the worst decisions in the team's draft history, the Bucs confirmed they have released receiver Dexter Jackson, their second-round pick in 2008.
By releasing Jackson, the Bucs reached the league-mandated 75-man roster limit before Tuesday's deadline.
The Bucs reached for Jackson because Jon Gruden wanted a speedy kick return speciliast. Unfortunately, it's not a role that Jackson had even excelled at during his career at Appalachian State.
Jackson played in just seven regular season games and averaged 23.4 yards per kickoff and only 4.9 yards per punt return.
Jackson was replaced in that role by Clifton Smith, an undrafted free agent from Fresno State who parlayed the opportunity into a trip to the Pro Bowl after returning a punt and a kickoff for touchdowns. He averaged 27.6 yards per kickoff and 14.1 yards per punt return.
Jackson had not played since suffering an ankle injury in the preseason opener at Tennessee.

Tumor invasion and metastasis are the major causes of cancer-related death. Some studies have found that histone methyltransferases, such as EZH2, specifically affect metastasis in breast, gastric and prostate cancer. The functional roles of other members of the HMT family such as G9a in cancer remain obscure. Therefore, the investigators will investigate whether G9a have a role in recurrence/metastasis of endometrial cancer.

Red Moon Potash Starts Drilling at Captain Cook Salt/Potash Deposit in Western Newfoundland
Red Moon Potash Inc. (TSXV:RMK) has started drilling at its Captain Cook salt/potash deposit in Western Newfoundland. The summer drill program will consist of two holes, CC #4 located approximately 500 metres north of CC #2 which was drilled in 2013. CC #2 encountered 150 metres (303-453 m) of salt including an upper zone of stringer potash beds at 318 m – 329 m. CC #4 is a northeast stepout testing a seismic anomaly interpreted to be a thickened evaporite section (salt – potash bearing interval).
According to the company's press release:
CC #5 is located approximately 1000 metres east of the discovery hole Captain Cook (CC) #1. This is the first hole to stepout in an easterly direction where the evaporite section thickens down dip. These two stepout holes are intended to add substantial tonnage to the salt deposit and further calibrate potash distribution in the basin.

Nimbus PeakTo the East of Surprise and Glacier Lakes in the Alpine Lakes Wilderness stands a high ridge of exposed granite featuring sharp gendarmes that have become renowned climbs in the area. One of the famous fins of rock is Slippery Slab Tower, which is just south of Trap Pass, the low point of this ridge reached by Trail #1060A. South of Slippery Slab is Nimbus, whose name is quite fitting since it sits next to Thunder Mountain and Thor Mountain.
Nimbus peak is a fun, easy little scramble, unless you want to summit the very tippy-top. The summit is actually a large 15x30' boulder("Fin") that involves a short Class 5 move with much exposure. Most people are content to stop just a few feet short of that and come home alive. According to latest reports, some have built little stone stairways to make the final move more palatable. Even so, it still would be an exposed Class 4 move.
Located just North of the Thunder mountain lakes area, Nimbus lies about 1 miles South of Trap Pass, and perhaps 1/3 miles South of Slippery Slab. The views are great from the top! Most folks hit this peak when headed over to Thunder mountain and Thor.
The General AreaWhile the trail to Surprise Lake can be quite crowded, once on the spur trail to Trap Pass, you will likely encounter nobody. This makes the appeal of this area all the more interesting, because it offers a lot of high camping and roaming potential. One of the more renowned climbs is Slippery Slab Tower.
Because this area gives access to many other peaks in the area, there exist many different climbing objectives that can be combined with a climb of Nimbus Peak. Some of these Peaks are Point 6804 (Thor Mountain) and Mac Peak.
Getting ThereFor the shortest approach, use the Surprise Lake Trail. Drive US-2 about 10 miles East of Skykomish just past the tiny hamlet of Scenic to the service area of the Cascade Railroad Tunnel. Pass over the railroad tracks and turn right about 1/4 miles to the parking lot at the end of the road. Find the Surprise Lake Trailhead here for Trail #1060. This approach may be a mile shorter but it is an extra 800' or so gain. It also is in the trees for the entire hike. Take Surprise creek trail (#1060) 4 miles to Surprise Lake. From just before Surprise Lake turn left on Spur Trail #1060A. Ascend this trail of many switchbacks to Trap Pass at 6,200 feet. The trail is poorly maintained, at at last viewing, had a lot of fallen timber cover the lower part of the trail.
Distance: 12 Miles Roundtrip. Elevation gain: About 4,500 feet with ups and downs. Difficulty: Class 2.
Alternatively, a longer approach would be the Tunnel Creek Trail to the PCT.
Take the Tunnel Creek trail (trail # 1061) for 1.6 miles. The trail ends at Hope Lake. From Hope Lake head South on the PCT trail. You hike up switchbacks for about .5+ miles to a saddle and then it levels out a bit. One you cross the ridge you start to traverse the slope on the south side. You come into a meadow and then the trail basically levels out and traverses for a couple of miles (with great views and meadows) till you start the switchbacks up to Trap Pass above Trap Lake.
TH at 3100'
Hope lake at 4400'
Trap pass around 5800'
5.6 miles to Trap pass on easy trail.
RouteFrom Trap Pass head South on a well established climbers path that takes you along the ridge. The path is easy to follow. Ascend to around 6200'. This is when you come into the first open meadow just below Slippery Slab Tower. Before mid-July this basin will likely be filled with snow.
From the base of Slippery Slab traverse your way around the ridge for about 1 mile with many ups and downs and gaining only a couple of hundred feet. You will then come to the ridge that you must cross to drop down to Thunder lakes. Take the right saddle. This will take you to the base of the South ridge of Nimbus.
Once in the saddle turn right and head north up the south ridge. There is a path that kind of fizzles out once into the rock. You can tell folks have been up there though. It will be Class 2 all the way until the summit block.
The North East face looks like it would have some fun class 5 lines on it.
It is class 2 all the way to the summit block then a slight bit of class 3 over some fun boulders. You can climb up to a flat boulder bask in the sun(if it is out) and take in the great views. The summit register is located on this flat boulder under a small cairn. From there you can toss a rope over and climb up the last 15' or so to the top of the "fin." The summit "fin" involves an exposed Class 5 move. The latest news is that other climbers have placed rocks to make the last move easier. It is still an exposed Class 4 move in that event.

CampingWhat a great area for an overnighter! Several choices for camping along the entire route.
You can camp at Hope lake or trap lake. Trap lake is incredible and has good views compared to Hope lake.
There are some great spots just past Slippery slab tower with some great views. Water might be an issue late in the season.
Thunder Lakes is the best spot to set up camp though. Incredible views of Stuart range and to the SE. There are some great spots tucked into the granite slabs.
One can also find a good spot up on the ridge and Thunder Pass area. Unless there is snow one would have to drop down to get water from the lakes.
The entire area is full of meadows with fragile plant life. Please be mindful of the fragile meadows and camp/hike on established sites and trails.
Red Tape and LinksHiking to Surprise Lake will put you in the Alpine Lakes Wilderness. Wilderness permits are available at the trailhead on a self-service basis.
You will need a NW Forest Pass to park at the trailhead. These are available on a daily basis from the Skykomish Ranger Station ($5/day), or annually ($30/year). You may also use an Interagency Pass ($80/year) which is good at any Forest Service trailhead or US National Park.

Full title: Common mistakes at IELTS Advanced…and how to avoid them
Author: Julie Moore
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
Review by: Saul Pope
Summary: An important component of any advanced IELTS course
IELTS can be a notoriously tricky course to teach, especially for the more inexperienced teacher. You're almost guaranteed to have a mixed ability group, students may want to take the exam at different times to one another, and some will simply not be capable of reaching the lofty targets their future place of learning has set them in the time you have. On top of this, it can sometimes be difficult to know what to concentrate upon as spiky profiles are often the order of the day, and, unless you're an IELTS examiner, it can be tricky to know where students tend to go wrong in these exams. Common mistakes at IELTS Advanced cannot solve all of these problems, but it is very useful in providing a focus on typical mistakes that students make.
The book is split into thirty page-long units, each focusing on a different common mistake made by students in the IELTS exam. This would be good if it were based on the experiences of IELTS speaking and writing examiners, but what makes this text really impressive is that it is based on 'analysis of thousands of exam scripts at IELTS bands 7 and above' stored in the Cambridge Learner Corpus. When using the book for the first time in class, I pointed out to my students how the book used this unique source of materials. They were impressed, and immediately motivated to gauge themselves against these typical errors. In a later class, when everyone got all of the 'common spelling mistakes' of unit 7 right, there was a real sense of achievement, and a feeling of confidence amongst the students that they were closer to achieving that elusive band 7.5 than they had thought.
A wide variety of mistakes is covered in the text, from the perennial problem of when to use the definite and indefinite article to the differences in usage between when, if and whenever. There are also units covering aspects of the language that can also confuse native speakers, like apostrophes or the use of commas with discourse markers, and there are also three units on common errors with describing statistics, which comes up in the first part of the writing exam. Each unit follows the same format, with two similar sentences being compared (one correct and one incorrect) followed by well-explained rules and two exercises to practice these. Each third unit is followed by a revision test, which attempts to mimic the type of questions set in the IELTS reading exam.
The only real weakness of the book is the slightly formulaic approach taken in each unit. The first part works well, with the two similar sentences clearly highlighting the common mistake, but after this the rules are simply listed rather than elicited. The exercises are functional but short; a little more practice would be desirable. Still, these are minor glitches given the overall quality of the text, and easily remedied by the creative practitioner.
On the whole, this is a very useful addition to any higher-level IELTS course. The quantity of data used makes this a reliable and impressive resource, and the simplicity of its design and the fact that it contains an answer key makes it as equally suited to home as to class study.

One Comment on "Review ~ Common Mistakes at IELTS Advanced"
Eric Roth Says:
April 6th, 2009 at 08:36
This concise, clear, and practical book deserves a much wider audience. Like the classic Grammar in Use and Vocabulary in Use series from Cambridge, this thin book allows English teachers to tailor classroom instruction to the actual needs of students. The clarity of examples, and the brevity of explanations makes this a powerful, flexible teaching tool.
Saul Pope's fair, balanced, and nuanced review captures the book's appeal. I would, however, note that almost any English language teacher working with high intermediate or advanced students can easily benefit from this book – whether teaching in Korea, France, or the United States.

London, United Kingdom, 2006/06/13 - A novelty urinal football set - the more visits to the washroom, the more goals your score.
Introducing an advertising medium that is set to Revolutionize washrooms near YOU!
Derived from the Global love of sport, Wee-Goal offers an exciting medium of advertising, which captivates all those who use it. It can be enjoyed by both young and old and guarantees immense word of mouth exposure.
Thousands of dollars each year are literally flushed down the drain when advertisers focus too heavily on televised 'interval marketing'... Why?... because all the beer or fizzy pop within the general sports fan is bursting to find an exit - commence the stampede to the washroom!
Wee-Goal (wee-goal.com) is a urinal football game that allows an advertiser to place his/her print within the space of intense concentration...for up to 90 seconds per 'visit'. Human nature craves entertainment - Especially through innovative mediums - Wee-Goal ensures a tick in the box for both, and is why it's concept has been such a success.
It's designer Dan O'Kelly believes that "people talk about what's fun, very few advertising mediums engage a consumer. By ensuring interaction, a consumer is always more likely to enjoy and therefore remember what's in front of him or her - Wee-Goal most definitely achieves this."
Having achieved notable success within the European market, don't be too surprised to be enjoying a few games of urinal football very soon....
Release Date : 13/06/06
Location : London/Worldwide
Wee-Goal has featured heavily in the press already, including 'The Times' :
While our team of football reporters fly out to the excitement of Germany, I am sitting here in our Wapping offices staring at a football-shaped mug, 160 tea bags, a Thomas Cook Guide book of Germany, a very dodgy football phrase book - and get this, a football-pitch shaped filter device that fits in the bowl of mens' toilets.
Yes the PR World is flooding my desk-space and my inbox with desperate attempts to get their products mentioned in the pages of The Times. It is extraordinary the lengths companies will go to as they try and take advantage of World Cup 2006.
The above-mentioned toilet device is my favourite so far. I am sitting staring at it now shaking my head in amazement while keeping my eye on a limping John Terry in training on the TV here. It is called a Wee Goal (geddit) and also features a couple of goalposts with hanging footballs (presumably something to aim at). The packaging has the subtle slogan He Shoots He Scores. I am speechless.
Our chief football correspondent Matt Dickinson has just rung to talk about today's press conferences, which feature Sven Goran Eriksson, Paul Robinson and Gary Neville. Waynes Rooney will again be featuring high on the agenda with his scan tomorrow. Don't expect to read anything about the Wee Goal in Wednesday's Times though.

An 18-year-old man has been arrested for allegedly raping a 17-year-old girl at a Keith Urban show at the Xfinity Center in Mansfield, Mass this past Saturday night (July 26).
According to CBS Boston, the sexual assault on the lawn of the outdoor amphitheater happened while other concertgoers watched, some of whom shot videos with their cellphones. It's been reported that some of those videos have been obtained by investigators as evidence.

The accused man, Sean Murphy of Boston, pleaded innocent in a local court to rape, claiming the encounter was consensual. Murphy, who has no prior arrest record, was expected to post the $10,000 cash bail set for his release with help from his parents, who he still lives with.
According to police, the defendant and the girl did not know each other prior to the concert and were both drinking at the time of the encounter which began with the two kissing near a concession stand before moving to the lawn. The incident was eventually stopped by a woman who asked the girl if she had consented. When the girl said no, the woman allegedly pulled the suspect off the girl.
This alleged sexual assault happened at the same show where 22 people were sent to the hospital due to "alcohol-related issues." EMS attended to a total of 46 people suffering from alcohol-related illnesses, with 22 of those being sent to the hospital. Police also reportedly took more than 50 people into custody and made several alcohol-related arrests.
Murphy is due back in court on September 25.

Klein: The Tea Party's Hypocrisy on Taxes
Remember the good old days, when Washington cared about deficits? I do. That's when President Obama signed an executive order forming a commission to consider spending cuts, tax hikes, and other reforms to balance the budget. Sen. Mitch McConnell opposed that commission, but he seemed equally concerned: "Most Americans would say the real emergency here is a $13 trillion debt."
The good old days, of course, were only a few months ago. But now Washington is faced with the terrifying prospect of actually reducing the deficit, and suddenly debt isn't such an emergency after all. The Republicans are proposing to increase the deficit by about $4 trillion in extending all the Bush tax cuts. The Democrats are countering with an offer to increase the deficit by a bit more than $3 trillion in extending the cuts only for people making less than $250,000 a year. Look at those numbers again: $4 trillion and $3 trillion. That's vastly more deficit spending than the stimulus, the bank bailouts, the health-care bill (which actually reduces the deficit), and everything else we've done in the past few years combined.
Enter the Tea Parties. "Runaway deficit spending … compels us to take action as the increasing national debt is a grave threat" to sovereignty, reads the mission statement of the Tea Party Patriots, the movement's largest umbrella group. A spokesman for Rand Paul, a Tea Party favorite who captured the Republican nomination for Senate in Kentucky, assured the Daily Beast that Paul would "vote against and filibuster any unbalanced budget proposal in the Senate."
Keep up with this story and more by subscribing now
But will Tea Partiers, when it comes down to it, really be any different from the Republican Party that serves as their uncomfortable home? As of yet, there's little sign of it. Take Paul. The Lexington Herald-Leader asked him if the Bush tax cuts should be fully extended. "Absolutely," he said. "The money is not the government's. It is ours." The problem, though, is that we, as a democratic society, granted the government the power to tax that money and spend it on things we thought were important, like national defense and Social Security. If you take revenues away but you don't cut spending, you get deficits. And the Tea Party hates deficits. So how would Paul pay for the tax cuts? Well, it's a secret, at least for now. Paul told the Leader "he couldn't spell out a proposal to do that before the Nov. 2 election." In the meantime, the proposal put forward by the Republican leadership doesn't pay for itself. Will Paul vote against it—will he, in fact, filibuster his own party—unless the GOP adds $4 trillion in spending cuts in the next decade?
Paul isn't alone. Christine O'Donnell, who scored the upset in Delaware, rails against deficits but says she believes we "absolutely" have to extend the Bush tax cuts. How will she pay for them? "Waste," of course. Anyone who's been around Washington for even a day or two will be familiar with that dodge.
In 2006 William Niskanen, the former chairman of the libertarian Cato Institute, published an influential paper titled "Limiting Government: The Failure of 'Starve the Beast.' " In it, he critiqued the conservative idea that cutting taxes now would "starve" the government of revenue, and thus force it to reduce spending. The reality, he said, was the opposite. If politicians found they could cut taxes without paying for it, they realized they could increase spending without paying for it, too. Between 1981 and 2005, tax cuts led to more, rather than less, spending. The other problem with the theory, Niskanen wrote, was that it let Republicans off the hook. The belief that you could cut taxes without reducing spending had "substantially reduced the traditional Republican concern for fiscal responsibility."
This, finally, is the choice that faces the Tea Parties as they send their members to Washington. Democrats and Republicans have both embraced the idea that tax cuts don't need to be paid for—and it produced "runaway deficit spending." But politicians didn't make those decisions because they loved deficits. They did so because fiscal responsibility is hard and unpopular.
Right now, the Tea Parties are riding a bad economy, attaching themselves to all sorts of candidates (Paul is a libertarian; O'Donnell is a Christian conservative), and enjoying a run of good press. But what happens when they have to govern; when their friends disappoint them; when some among their number want lower deficits and lower taxes, and they don't want their Social Security benefits cut, either? That's when we'll see if these guys are really something new in American politics, or just more of the same weak tea.

In the July 2009 CTP of the Windows Azure Tools for Microsoft Visual Studio, we introduced a bug where if you use the App.Config file in a Worker Role, it won't get included in your Service Package both when running on the local Development Fabric or in the Cloud.
To resolve this issue, simply add the following environment variable before starting Visual Studio:
This will be fixed in our next release, in fact it's fixed in our daily builds already.
What happened?
In order to support TFS Build, we changed how files are copied to the package for the Worker Role. As part of the changes, we missed calling one of the targets with a property set to handle the App Config.
It was lucky for us that our customers can workaround the issue by setting the environment variable above and MSBuild will do the right thing.
To elaborate on the scenario, if you create a new Cloud Service with a Worker role by clicking File | New Project | Visual C# | Cloud Service and adding a Worker Role:
Right Click on the WorkerRole1 project in Solution Explorer and select Add | New Item and select the "Application Configuration File" item.
Build the solution and navigate to the Service Package (more info on Service Packages) and you'll find that the app.config file is missing from the worker role. (no WorkerRole1.dll.config)
This is true in the packaging for the Development Fabric and if you Published for the Cloud.
Exit Visual Studio and add the environment variable: AddAppConfigToBuildOutputs=true
Then restart Visual Studio and open up that same solution you were working on.
Rebuild All and again navigate to the Service Package. This time you will see the WorkerRole1.dll.config file as you would expect.
Sorry for the inconvenience, again this is temporary and you now know the workaround.

When Should You Take the Car Keys?
It's a fine line between protecting your parents and hindering them
Like many adult children, Jo Rinehart, 54, and her siblings balanced caring for their parents while respecting their independence. William Fresch, 85, and wife Betty, 79, could still drive themselves, but only to certain destinations.
The deal was negotiated last summer after the Shippensburg, Pa., couple got lost driving — William couldn't remember directions to their son's home. After a family gathering last Friday, the couple left their daughter's house to return home — usually a 40-minute drive.
They never made it. Their bodies were found Tuesday near their car about 60 miles away in Frederick County, Md.
No one wants to be treated like they're incapable of taking care of themselves — much less by their own children. So Rinehart did what many adult children do. "It's hard to get people to do something they don't want to do," Rinehart told The Washington Post, "but we thought we had a system."
As AARP family expert Amy Goyer said recently, "sometimes you do the best you can and then you have to 'let go.' "
This is a fine line to navigate. But how do you know when to keep walking or cross that line and take away the car keys?

Diary of a Mad County
MONDAY, May 5: Mighty Ducks win . . . Bill Bennett doesn't. The holier-than-thou conservative land mass who has made millions telling people how they should live lost millions gambling—the Washington Post reports more than $8 million. He says his gambling is strictly his business, which is what conservative harpies—the crew that wants to tell you who to have sex with and how, what to watch and when—say when their gambling or beaver shots are discovered; they suddenly morph into libertarians. The criticism of Bennett, though, is misguided, centering too much on the concept of gambling rather than its specifics, which is: he lost the money playing the slots. My mother plays the slots. She does. Word is Bennett may sue the casinos for impairing his judgment by serving him a never-ending supply of Pink Ladies.
TUESDAY, May 6: Word is that the Republicans will soon announce a third effort to recall Governor Gray Davis, who they don't like because he's not a Republican. Is it just me or are Republicans not even pretending to be interested in democracy anymore? They spent millions in an attempted coup of Bill Clinton, used the Supreme Court to install the "President," started a war when his poll numbers fell, and now want to remove the elected governor of the largest state in the union. Who's up for slavery!? And this couldn't come at a worse time. The state, like virtually all others, is going through a massive budget crisis, and the thought of trying to muddle through that and a recall election and multiple campaigns to elect Davis' successor in case he's recalled is numbing. None of which concerns Republicans who lost—let's see, three, carry the two—everystate office last time out. So the only way they can win is to have chaos, confusion and a winner who gets fewer than a majority—the Bush Strategy. The only thing that remains to be seen is what jerk they'll get to front this thing.
May7: It's ISSA
WEDNESDAY, May 7: . . . And Issa is his Name-O! Since the Republicans' usual methods of usurping the electorate—Supreme Court, bunker busters and the state of Florida—won't work in California —yet—they turn to Darrell Issa, millionaire OC/San Diego congressman who announces today that he will bankroll the effort to kick out Davis. Issa's credentials as a millionaire congressman are impeccable in that he paid $1.5 million for the seat that represents parts of South County but mostly dried soil. He wasn't nearly as good at being a millionaire senator, spending about $10 million to get his ass kicked—in the primary—by Matt Fong. Matt who? Exactly. Issa not only wants Davis out, but he also wants his job. So what is Issa's legislative record? He doesn't appear to have one, unless you count the fact that he made all of his money off car alarms, a fact that should not only preclude him from public office but also require him to pay substantial reparations. Issa should take a lesson from Ms. Bennett and realize that those who throw million-dollar rocks are in line for a little scrutiny themselves. Like people might bring up how ironic it is that a guy who made money off car alarms was once indicted—never convicted—of stealing a red Maserati. And certain people might find it interesting that Issa increased the insurance coverage on a manufacturing plant just weeks before it was destroyed by an apparent arson fire. An investigation never figured out who caused the blaze. And if Issa thinks Davis lacks the backbone to be governor, then what are we to think of Representative Issa, who says he only voted for a congressional resolution to condemn Yasser Arafat after being pressured by Majority Whip Tom DeLay. This after Issa had dined with Arafat, watched TV with Arafat and, according to online columnist Debbie Schussel, called the Palestinian leader "charismatic." Yeah, Issa is a guy you can trust. Hey, if Issa can't stand up to DeLay's pressure, what's he gonna do when Phil "Avenging" Angelides brings it? . . . Local mom-and-pop misery stand Bryco Arms is told by an Oakland jury to pay a teen $50 million for its part in an accidental 1994 shooting that left the boy paralyzed. The jury believed the .38 caliber Saturday Night Special manufactured by Bryco was defective. It's not all that surprising to us that charges of lax control were leveled at Bryco. Several years ago, while writing about Saturday Night Specials, a Weekly reporter knocked on the door of Bryco's Costa Mesa office. No answer. The reporter drove around back, parked at the loading bay and walked inside—among hundreds of boxes of brand-new pistols. Guns, guns, guns—just sitting there for the taking. We're not saying the reporter lifted any pistols; we're just saying we're the best armed editorial staff in publishing this side of American Mercenary and Seventeen ("Make your Ammo look Whammo!").

THURSDAY, May 8: Supervisor Tom Wilson, who was just described to me as "having that Reagan goopy hair thing going on," announces he will run for the 73rd Assembly seat being vacated by Pat Bates, who is being termed out. Wilson was appointed by then-Governor Pete Wilson to the Board of Supervisors—well, actually he was appointed by the Irvine Co., but they had Governor Wilson make the actual announcement, you know, to make it seem legitimate. Supervisor Wilson repaid his debt by allowing developers to build unfettered, so much so that environmentalists dubbed a toxic pool in Aliso Viejo—the result of overbuilding runoff—"Lake Wilson." Wilson will run against Mimi Walters in the primary. Walters has just been described to me as "pretty much Tom Wilson minus the goop."

ALL has included the sisters as part of "California's Deadly Dozen," a pro-choice group of Catholic politicians that includes Gray Davis and Representative Nancy Pelosi and requests that priests refrain from giving them communion. Judie Brown, ALL president, says the Sanchezes "pro-death policies" are "disgraceful." So it's interesting that ALL does not condemn the pro-death stand of pro-death-penalty politicians. "Abortion is intrinsically evil while the death penalty is not classified as such," said ALL spokesman Erik Whittington. "The Pope has said the death penalty can be allowed in certain situations." But Monsignor Lawrence Baird of the Diocese of Orange tells me the death penalty is seen as a "last resort," under "circumstances that hardly would ever exist," in the United States. Anti-abortion militant James Kopp apparently thought those last-resort circumstances existed when he imposed a death sentence on New York doctor Barnett Slepian, whom he shot in Slepian's kitchen. Kopp appears remorseful and says he wishes he "could get 10 death penalties" for his actions. But that's news to the FBI, which had to track down the Killer Christian hiding out in France. The pro-death Kopp gets 25-to-life.

Gamecocks beat Clemson for 4th straight year
Sun, 25 Nov 2012 04:54:59 GMT —
The South Carolina Gamecocks beat the Clemson Tigers 27-17 at Memorial Stadium in Clemson, South Carolina on Saturday night, before a crowd of more than 82,000 fans. It marked the fourth straight season that South Carolina had beaten their arch-rivals.
Gamecocks head coach Steve Spurrier picked up his 65th career win at USC to become the winningest football coach in school history, surpassing Rex Enright.
Back-up quarterback Dylan Thompson, filling in for Connor Shaw who sprained his foot last week against Wofford, threw for three touchdowns, and Jadeveon Clowney had four and a half sacks in the Gamecocks victory. Clowney has 13 sacks this year to set a Gamecocks single-season record.
Clemson got on the board first. Tajh Boyd capped a 16-play 85-yard drive with a 3-yard TD run in the first quarter. South Carolina answered with a Thompson to Bruce Ellington 13-yard TD pass to tie the game 7-7. Clemson continued the first quarter fireworks by reclaiming the lead, when Boyd hit DeAndre Hopkins on a 43-yard TD pass to put the Tigers in front 14-7 heading to the second quarter.
South Carolina scored the only points of the second quarter on an Adam Yates 29-yard field goal to cut the Clemson lead to 14-10 at intermission.
The Gamecocks took the lead for good in the third quarter. Thompson hooked up with Ace Sanders on a 34-yard scoring pass to give South Carolina a 17-14 advantage. The teams exchanged field goals to make the score 20-17 heading to the fourth quarter.
South Carolina iced the game with a series of key plays. Mike Davis ripped off a 26 yard run to the Clemson 39 yard line. Later in the drive, on third and 19, Thompson scrambled for 20 yards to the Clemson six yard line. That set the stage for a Thompson to Ellington 6-yard TD strike and gave the Gamecocks a ten point advantage with 4:17 to play in the game.
Clowney had two late sacks on Clemson quarterback Tajh Boyd, who was held to just 183 yards passing with two interceptions. The Tigers managed only three points over the final three quarters of the game.
Thompson led South Carolina's air show by completing 23 of 41 passes for 310 yards. The Gamecocks offense totaled 444 yards.
The Gamecocks dominated time of possession, holding onto the football for 39:58 to just 20:02 for the Tigers. Clemson had only 59 offensive plays while South Carolina had 86 offensive snaps.
Darlington High product Victor Hampton returned one kickoff for 25 yards. He also made two tackles.
For Clemson, former Loris High star Jonathan "Tig" Willard had nine tackles. Ex-Cheraw High standout Jaron Brown had three catches for 68 yards. Malliciah Goodman, who attended West Florence High, had one tackle with one sack and a forced fumble. Quandon Christian, out of Lake View High, made two tackles.
The Gamecocks finished with 10 wins for a second straight season for the first time in history. Clemson also finished the regular season with a record of 10-2. The loss to South Carolina knocked Clemson out of contention for a BCS Bowl bid.
Clemson still leads the all-time head-to-head series with South Carolina 65-41-4.

|That wasn't chalk Matt, that was bird poo. I went up to do this climb last weekend and backed off. The last straw was [stepping] out onto the overhang and having some crumble into my eye. I ended up finishing on Gambit because the crux underclings were so covered in crap.
By Bill Wright

This pitch is more than a boulder problem. The crux undercling section is 5.10d, but the small roof above is 10c. Indeed, the bird shit on this pitch is bad and really the only reason not to do the pitch. The disgusting section is quite short, probably just one or two hand placments. The climbing is challenging and cool and would be at least 2-stars if it wasn't for the crap...
A variation can be done on the wall just left of the undercling. My partner in fact led it this way and didn't touch any bird shit. It is quite hard though (11a/b?) and you'll get a ways above gear before being able to reach back into the crack to place gear. I followed in the crack and had to do just 1-2 disgusting moves.

|After waiting 3.7 years (since Feb 2002) for this thing to clean up, I went back to climb it in 10/05. Much to my dismay, it was still full of crap. Figuring that it was not going to clean up soon I figured I might as well just do it.The poo is like teflon, reducing all that would be grippy to a slick powdery coating. It has lost some stench, and is not as pungent as years ago, but I'd still loathe to get it into a cut, or eat with hands dirty from it.The climb is hard at the 10c grade assigned in text by Rossiter, though I note his Topo says 10d. It is considerably harder than Tagger, Grandmother's Challenge, or Sooberb, which I consider to be 'benchmark' 10c's; 10d is probably about right.The moves are cool and clever. If it were not for the crap in it it would be a 3-star [variation]. But it looks like the crap is here to stay, so tape up, put on googles and a dust mask, and tick off one more in Eldo, disease-free.

|I liked this variation. I've climbed it twice, both times in the winter of '07, and it wasn't covered in bird crap. I agree that it is a little harder than Grandmother's Challenge.
By 303scott

|Yes, the first 6 feet are basically saturated in bird crap...but I still thought it was really good climbing with great position. Burly underclinging and awkward jamming with good pro (assuming it doesn't grease out on the crap). Save some 0.5-1 inch gear for above where it is mildly runout 5.8 climbing (but seriously runout if you don't have those sizes).

Climbed this on Sunday 8-22. Left a seriously over cammed purple #0.5 BD on the roof crack.
It's still up there. If someone wants to return it, I'll repay the favor with good karma and beer. If they want to keep it, that's cool too.

A Big Sur man accused of killing a Monterey taxi driver remained on life support Monday after he apparently attempted to take his own life in jail, officials said.
Joshua Claypole, 20, was found hanging in his single-person cell at Monterey County Jail about 2:30 p.m. Saturday by a deputy conducting a routine health and welfare check, Cmdr. Jose Mendoza said.
One question looming Monday was why Claypole was no longer under suicide watch, given his apparently unstable condition at the time of his arrest and the severity of the charges he faced. Jail sources said Claypole was initially placed under suicide watch but was then taken off.
Sheriff Scott Miller said Monday he had asked the Monterey County District Attorney's Office to investigate Claypole's attempted suicide.
Claypole had torn some bedding and tied it to one of the vents in his cell, Mendoza said, and was taken by helicopter to a San Jose trauma center.
A jail source said Claypole left a note, but did not indicate what it said.
If Claypole doesn't recover, he will leave the family of cab driver Daniel Garcia Huerta with few answers in a case that stunned Monterey Peninsula residents.
Claypole was arrested Wednesday after he allegedly stabbed Huerta, 44, of Salinas, a few minutes after Huerta picked up Claypole at a Carmel shopping center. The attack happened as the taxi stopped at a Monterey car rental lot on Del Monte Avenue.
Claypole then hijacked a nearby pickup, police said, but was arrested a short distance away in Seaside.
He was arraigned Friday in Monterey County Superior Court, where his expression appeared somber before he pleaded not guilty to charges of murder and carjacking.
Although Monterey police said they interviewed Claypole before he was booked in jail Wednesday, they declined to comment about the conversation, citing an ongoing investigation for the pending prosecution.
Monterey police Lt. Leslie Sonne did say police had not found evidence of a robbery, and said there was no sign Huerta and Claypole had ever met before the ride Wednesday.
On Thursday and again on Saturday, officials said Claypole was not under suicide watch at the time. But Mendoza said Claypole was in a single cell because of the charges against him and the notoriety of the case.
Though he declined to comment on Claypole's case, Monterey psychiatrist Dr. Taylor Fithian said standard procedure at the facility is to immediately conduct a medical examination upon booking, unless the inmate is so uncooperative the evaluation can't take place. Fithian's company, California Forensic Medical Group, provides medical and mental health services at the jail.
If the inmate talks about wanting to kill himself, he's of course placed on suicide watch, Fithian said.
But other factors can also put him there, including facing a murder or other serious charge, or having a high-profile case — "a variety of life situations that have a high incidence of suicide," Fithian said.
Under suicide watch, the inmate is held in a "safety cell," he said, where jail staff check on the inmate every 15 minutes, recording on a log each time the cell is inspected.
Within 12 to 24 hours of booking, Fithian said, a team that includes a psychiatrist, psychologist or other licensed medical staff member conducts a mental health evaluation.
Claypole's attorney John Klopfenstein said his client's mother had gone to the jail about 1:30 p.m. Saturday with the medication clonazepam, used to treat panic and anxiety. An hour later, Claypole was found hanging in his cell.
It was unknown if Claypole ever received the medication.
Fithian said that when families bring in prescription drugs, jail medical staff have to inspect it to make sure "it hasn't been tampered with and can be identified" before deciding if the inmate should be treated with it.
Serious concerns about mental health treatment and suicides in the jail were recently raised by Public Defender Jim Egar, who with the help of a prominent San Francisco Bay Area law firm is threatening to sue the county if steps aren't taken to alleviate what Egar calls "unacceptable" conditions.
In a scathing letter to the county last month, the attorneys said inhumane conditions in the jail, compounded by years of overcrowding, violate the U.S. Constitution.
Citing two suicides and more than a dozen attempts in the past three years, the letter said the jail's treatment of mentally ill inmates has "tragic consequences."
It also said the jail's suicide rate outpaces the national average, which is around 38 suicides per 100,000 inmates, according to a Department of Justice study released in 2010.
Monterey County's rate was nearly twice that before Claypole's attempt.
Egar said he hasn't received a response from the county, although his letter threatens a federal lawsuit from the same firm that's behind the current drastic overhaul of California's state prisons.
Egar has been calling for tighter scrutiny of potentially suicidal inmates since at least 2010, when murder suspect Jesse Crow hanged himself in a single cell.
"Here's a guy facing a potential capital case," Egar said at the time, "someone who has been kept in isolation, who is left alone with the pieces that could be used to end his own life, and he's not checked on for a long enough period of time for him to do this?"
In the case of Claypole, he said, "It's unacceptable. Whether it's the condition of the jail or a shortage of staff, it's dangerous and they know it."
Sheriff Miller said his department has a policy of calling for outside investigations in cases of officer-involved shootings, deaths in custody and "incidents that could cause death." Before he took office, Miller said, the department conducted its own investigations of such occurrences. But within days of taking the helm, a Greenfield man died after sheriff's SWAT officers used a flash-bang device that caused a fire, and Miller changed the policy.
"That's the policy I've carried with me," he said. "I don't believe we should investigate our own custody deaths."
Meanwhile, Huerta's family, many of whom are also cab drivers on the Peninsula, held a funeral service on Sunday in Salinas.
The victim's brother, Jorge Huerta, said his family has no plans to leave the area, where they've lived for decades, but are calling on local companies to install more driver safety protections in their taxis.

There's another round of beta coming up this weekend for The Elder Scrolls Online, do you have a seat on the ride? I've only played in the beta once so far, but here are my impressions: The gameplay is well balanced, take on one too many enemies and you're dead, execute your moves well and you can blitz through almost any room, with some strategy. The graphics are amazing, especially the trees and water, it's stunning. The world is immersive, just like an Elder Scrolls game, exploration is fun and rewarding. (and fishing is way more fun than other MMOs haha!) Locked chests are HARDCORE, and lockpicks are expensive :P Getting a new piece of gear feels just as fun as it did in Skyrim, it's like Christmas each time you get a more powerful weapon. The only downside was the storm of beta bugs, and the combat for my character (Redguard Warrior) is a bit dull during the low levels, and the low level dungeons (not raids, as in dungeons filled with generic mobs) suck big ones. Still not sure if I want to buy this game, the monthly fee seems far too pricey ($15 a month).
Posting in language:
I was in the last beta test, and I got accepted for this one as well. It's a good game don't get me wrong, but it's certainly not worth $180 a year.

General George Patton's Yacht Returns to Annapolis
| Print |
WHEN AND IF "When the next war is over, and if I live though it, Bea and I are going to sail her around the world." So said George S. Patton about the 63-foot Alden schooner he and his wife had commissioned in 1939. Built by FF Pendleton in Wiscasset, Maine, WHEN AND IF, as she was named, incorporated improvements for comfort and safety on the high seas. General Patton's dream was not to be. He was killed in an automobile accident in Europe shortly after the war ended. The National Sailing Hall of Fame will host WHEN AND IF at the DNR/Hall of Fame dock and Susan B. Campbell Park in Annapolis. The boat is arriving today, October 23 and will remain through Sunday, November 2. October 23, 2008

Hi everyone thought I would introduce myself, Ive been diagnosed a week ago with NHL (not sure which type yet) they found enlarged lymph glands in abdo when I had an MRI lumber spine for a painful back which ive had for a while and getting fed up with,as I also have rheumatoid arthritis since i was 18 (now 50) anyway I then had a CT scan followed by a lymph node biopsy. I am now going to have a pet scan and prob a bone marrow biopsy which im dreading as I believe they are painful and I now realise that although I have RA I have a low pain threshhold! Anyway thats me for the moment and just waiting for the results and treatment to begin.
best wishes all
A lot must be going through your head. I have had NHL myself, now in remission, and as to the bone marrow biopsy is not as bad as it looks or sounds. I would try and relax, even just concentrating on your breathing, before the procedure as tension can make it painful. It normally takes a couple of weeks for the lab results to come through and show the exact sub type, it takes so long also because the staining of the biopsy is lengthy in itself.
Best of luck, let us know how it goes, we have been there. They can treat it but you have to be strong.
As far as a bone marrow biopsy, different people seem to experience them as less or more painful - some people don't find them bad at all, others really don't like them. I don't think it's something you need to panic about. If you're concerned about the procedure, some people find sedation makes it more tolerable (when I was offered sedation for my 3rd biopsy, I decided it wasn't sore enough to be worth the bother - but others do find it helpful).
thank you for your help and advice will keep you posted
hi and welcome to the site, you will get lots of help and advice if and when you need it. regarding the bone marrow biopsy you should have one, so that they know all the sites where you have lymphoma and then at the end of treatment they check those sites to give you the all clear. its not a bad procedure and has been said use breathing to help you deal with it.
let us know what type of lymphoma you have and the proposed treatment.
regards john
thanks john will do, best wishes
I had this procedure done the last time I had Lymphoma and found that talking to the nurse helped to distract me. It only nipped for a couple of minutes and it didn't take long at all to get it done.
Good luck though and try not to worry (easier said than done)
thanks sharee, all the best
