2004 Chapoutier, Tavel Rosé Beaurevoir:
Very nice; bone dry, excellent balance, clean, flavorful and even some complexity. It does carry 13.5% alcohol (but doesn't show it) where I'd rather see at least a point lower and the only reason I quibble about such things is that it costs $22. And for that kind of money, I'll look elsewhere for exactly what I want.
2003 Château La Roque, Pic Saint Loup:
Although the label does not say, I assume this is the Cuvée Classique (not the Cupa Numismae), which is made of 25% syrah, 45% Grenache and 35% mourvèdre. Garrigue and dark fruit on the nose with the same on the palate, noticeable but fine tannins and a worsted texture, good balance and sustain. A well-integrated wine with character and it does not seem to suffer from the vintage's heat difficulties (13.5%). At $12, something I will buy again.
Thanks Claude.
N/V Roederer Estate, Anderson Valley Brut (Sparkling):
Crisp, clean, exuberant bead and just the slightest hint of RS. Thirst-quenching. About $16.
2003 Dom. du Joncier, Lirac:
Restrained on the nose and palate with a silken texture, very fine tannins and solid, sweet fruit in the mouth that is both elegant and balanced. Not quite as impressive as the last bottle (two weeks ago) but still good wine. About $12.
2004 Dom. de la Janasse, VdP Principaté D'Orange Terre de Bussière:
As mentioned in a recent note, a very well-honed and balanced wine that is worth every penny of its $12, asking price.
Best, Jim

One of our favourite knitwear brands is William Fox, who have been in the business of manufacturing top quality sporting goods and and assorted gentlemen's attire for over a century now.
The brand's new range is available at Present and includes some classics and few quirky items too. My pick of the bunch is this Fairisle jumper in cream – but click through for a whole load of others including some odd stripes and neck patterns.
The jumpers are made from high quality lambswool and start at around £160.

Thursday's Airport Consultation Committee meeting between officials from Adams County and Denver over how Denver International Airport should develop was canceled due to scheduling conflicts and had nothing to do with increasing tensions between the two parties, according to Adams County officials.
The meeting will be rescheduled, said Aurora Mayor Steve Hogan, but dates have yet been determined. On Tuesday, the Adams County contingent that includes the county commissioners, Brighton, Commerce City, Aurora, Thornton and Westminster will meet as part of an Airport Coordinating Committee.
Perhaps an unintended time out is fortuitous with the two sides seemingly at an impasse.

Smoking and Tobacco
My Mom and Smoking
I've recently found out that my mother has been smoking secretly for a very long time. After some researching, I think this explained why she was always tired, coughing, getting wrinkles, and her weak heart, high blood pressure, asthma, leg numbness, skin rash, etc. Is this true?
Also, (if you can answer this), how do I tell her that I know about this and convince her to quit? I think that none of my other family members know about this. Should I tell them? I'm really worried about this and I love my mom, so I definitely don't want her to continue smoking.
Your mother being ill is certainly a concern. Since you listed a number of physical symptoms, one would assume she is under the care of a physician and it would be good to be supportive of her having appropriate health care. While some of the symptoms you identified may be associated with cigarette smoking, the skin rash would not be a common response to smoking.
Talking with your mother about her health and what you might do to assist her might be a starting point. Discussing what her physician has identified as risk factors for some of her symptoms could lead to the opportunity to discuss cigarette smoking as one of those risk factors. Expressing how important she is to you and your family and that you would be supportive in her efforts to quit smoking may be an option.
There are a number of medications that have been effective in doubling or tripling the success rate of quitting smoking. Her physician can provide that information. A nonjudgmental approach is key when discussing health behavior changes that are difficult.

Shaunte' M, Atlanta GA
I received my (423c-15) hubcap order yesterday and installed them on my car today. I am very pleased with your product and service. Thank you, Ric S, Palm Desert CA
I just got my (188s-16) wheelcovers and snapped them on my snow treads in less than 2 minutes - what a breeze and they look great (and I am female!). Thanks for your help! I just wish I would have contacted you before I spent 2 hours running from Auto Zone to the Tire Store and to Walmart and found nothing. Thank you again!
Renee T Canandaigua NY
Hi Phil: Thank you getting back to me regarding this issue. Due to your excellent customer service (staying in touch and various offers to accommodate the customer's need for resolution), I WILL recommend your website to anyone who may be in the market for wheel covers, etc. In addition, I will also keep you in mind in case I ever need replacements or would like to change the look of my car sometime in the future. Thanks again for your prompt service and hope you have a good day! (944c-15 hubcaps) Best Regards, David C, Taunton MA
Note: Since Replica Wheel covers are copies, they do not show the
manufacturer's logo. Logos are the legal trademark of the manufacturer, as such
it would be Trademark infringement to include them on Replica hubcaps.
Hubcaps Installation: Proper installation is easy and should not
require significant effort or force. Replica Hubcaps use a spring steel
retention ring pushing plastic or metal clips out against the steel wheel, to
hold it in place.
Locate the Hubcap to its proper position, align the hubcap notch with the valve stem. Hold the hubcap parallel to the rim all the way around and apply even pressure with both hands so the hubcap is not tilted away from the rim at any point. Increase the pressure evenly, side to side, top to bottom, and the retention clips will begin to slide into the rim. Try not to let the hubcap get too much away from parallel to the wheel as you ease it into place. You may need to gently punch it in with the heel of your fist. A rubber hammer should not be necessary. Proper installation results in the outer edge of the hubcap fitting firmly against the steel wheel all the way around. If it does not seat all around, do not drive with it. This is a sign of interference by tall lug nuts, hub, or an unusual wheel. The hubcap should not able to be pulled off using only your two bare hands. If you can pull it without tools, check our tips to Tighten Loose Hubcaps.
Many auto dealers, mechanics, and enthusiasts across the USA certify to the quality of AutoAmenity products and services. Our competent advisors are ready to assist you in choosing the best style and quality hubcaps for your vehicle. We carry Replica and Custom hubcap designs to suit any taste, make, or model of car. You can choose hubcaps to make your car look as natural or as flashy as you like.
Our hubcaps are made of durable ABS plastic that will give you years of good looks without the denting or rusting that steel hubcaps of the past were prone to. Each hubcap presses easily onto your standard steel wheel. To determine the right size hubcap for your wheels, read it off the tire.

Is the future of Fable an online MMO free to play game in light of the new studio head being appointed.
Do that and you've finally put the nail in Fables coffin
It was bad enough Fable 2 and Fable 3 felt like it forced co-op friendly buddy buddy crap onto you.
I dont know what you guys are talking about but the nail was already put in with fable 3.
First I'll say that this isn't even a rumor, it is one person trying to take someone words and put them into a context that fits with a rumor he is trying to start.
A lot of people love Fable and I'm a huge fan, Lionhead was actually hiring people to work on a MMORPG, which might be set in the Fable universe, or it might be a totally new IP.
Not sure why they would release a Fable game as free to play when they sell like 5 million copies each, it would be counterproductive. I'm looking forward to seeing the facts on the next Xbox, the facts on games for the next Xbox, and the bit of crow eating a lot of people are going to have to do :)

Please do, as my character would most likely never defend the magical lands, and he probably would not fight the other three factions outright either as he has no beef with them. Like I said, he is most likely to team up with them to kill other outlaws of magical origins.

CIU Students Involved in Global Day of Prayer
By Lenae Simpson
CIU Student Writer
Columbia International University students will be an important part of the annual Global Day of Prayer on June 12.
The Global Day of Prayer is a call to repentance and unity through prayer. The worldwide event, which began in South Africa in 2000, has expanded to 220 nations with 300 million participants.
Last year, over 4,500 people met at the Colonial Life Center in Columbia for the Global Day of Prayer as CIU students helped spread the news of the event among Columbia-area churches. CIU President Bill Jones was one of several Columbia-area Christian leaders who spoke at the local observance.
CIU students are playing a key role in this year's day of prayer by encouraging local churches to take part.
"Students are the church of today," said Barry Russell, the youth pastor at East Lake Community Church in Irmo, S.C. northwest of Columbia. "(The Global Day of Prayer is) an awesome opportunity to preach the Kingdom of God."
Local organizers say there are over 600 churches in Columbia, and the goal is to unite them all as one body, through prayer, in Christ.
Pastor Ken Jumper implored CIU students to "help us make history here."
CIU students will also help by being ushers, parking attendants, and security.

New York, NY – Fr. Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life, announced today at the beginning of Lent that the Priests for Life family of ministries is looking forward to a very fruitful season for life.
"We are beginning this week by sharing with every priest in the nation our resources for preaching, including those found at priestsforlife.org/lent, which show them how to tie in the powerful Lenten themes with the urgent need to defend the unborn. We also have a coordinated prayer campaign taking place in thousands of parishes and schools nationwide, using prayers found at prayercampaign.org.
"Our Pastoral Team, including our priests as well as people like Dr. Alveda King and Dr. Theresa Burke, will speak in dozens of cities and conduct numerous media interviews.
"Our Silent No More Awareness Campaign, co-founded by Janet Morana, our Executive Director, will have gatherings across the nation, including at the office buildings of the US Senate where we are coordinating particular efforts to impact the vote on defunding Planned Parenthood by using the voices of women who were harmed at Planned Parenthood.
"Our priests will speak at many events for 40 Days for Life, a campaign that credits Priests for Life with a large reason for its growth.
"Our media outreach marks this Lent with a new set of episodes on our EWTN program Defending Life, the world's largest, longest-running TV and radio program on abortion, now in its 18th season. We also mark this week the start of a brand new show, The Catholic View for Women, co-hosted by Janet Morana, Teresa Tomeo, and Astrid Bennett Gutierrez.
"We recommend as Lenten spiritual reading my book Pro-life Reflections for Every Day, as well as the regular You Tube, Facebook, and Twitter updates that I will provide during Lent for pro-life activists. Our clergy webcast on March 21 will help priests to lead their people into a pro-life Lent, and later in the month we will convene a Summit meeting of national pro-life leaders to chart a course of greater collaboration to hasten the day of victory.
"In short, this Lent will be a major boost to the pro-life movement in our country," Fr. Pavone concluded.

Our new little guy was born on 2/7 at 37 weeks by c-section. With my first son, he had a hard time latching and so I pumped exclusively for 3 months and then ended up nursing until he was 17 months old. I was really hoping to avoid having to pump with this baby, but so far it is not looking good.
He has latched on and started sucking some, but most of the time he is too sleepy and either doesnt open up wide enough or just wont latch on at all. So I have been pumping again.
So first question I have is: any advice on this? The lactation consultant at the hospital said that a lot of babies born early have a problem with this. So right now I am syringe feeding him (I hate the SNS)...I have been trying to avoid bottles and can right now with the small amount he is getting but may have to use them soon.
Also, I cant remember since my last son is now 4 years old....how much milk should I be giving to him each feeding? Right now I am pumping anywhere from 20-30 ml each time (mostly 30ml). He will take the 30 ml sometimes but he is practically asleep for most of it and I have to keep waking him to drink it. Should I be doing that? Also, what should I increase it to over the next few weeks? I am trying to feed him anywhere from every 2 to every 3 hours (mostly 3 right now). B/c each time I try to get him to latch, do some skin to skin, and then pump and then feed....it takes forever.
He is a very sleepy baby ( I am sure it is related to the pain meds I am on from the c-section, although I try to be very judicious with using it- the pain is so much worse this time than last though, so I have used it maybe once or twice a day)- I have asked all the doctors and nurses about taking the Percocet and they either say it wont affect the baby that much or like my ob-gyn said that it is better for you to be out of pain and able to take better care of the baby and produce more milk while taking the pills for a short period of time. I am worried though that this may cause ill effects other than just sleepiness for him. Anyone know?
Thank you all for letting me ask so many questions!

Mr. Usman needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 71 designs submitted by 22 freelance designers.
Fast-Rite International
Specializing in the OEM market, Fast-Rite International is an ISO 9001:2000-certified corporation that is continually diversifying to meet our customers' industrial component needs. In 2009, Fast-Rite is transitioning to ISO 9001:2008 certification. We supply millions of parts to the world's most demanding manufacturers every year.
Fast-Rite is committed to providing highest quality fasteners, stamping, kittings and assemblies. Our product lines also include plastic injected molded components, metal stampings, abrasives, anchors, tools and tool accessories, to name a few.
We have built our reputation by providing bottom-line cost reductions with exceptional quality, personal service and dedication to our customers' needs. Today, we focus on using Lean Distribution methods to give our customers the competitive edge.
Engineers, procurement officers, C-LEVEL executives.
Fast-Rite International has requested a major update of our corporate logo and overall branding materials. The scope of this project is to develop an identity package that will convey "sophistication simplified". This means the fonts, colors, and shapes need to adhere to an ultra clean and modern design treatment. At the core of this identity package, the use of intelligent typography and white space should convey modernity, simplicity, and organization. To avoid printing errors and matching colors precisely, the use of gradients is not recommended...
At this point we are looking for a solid logo that will be easy to replicate on print and web materials as well as integrate to electronic stationary (like MS word).
Our logo is dated. We need to look modern, crisp, streamlined, global and organized. You can see what we have currently on our website: http://www.fast-rite.com
It is very important to have the "-" included in the Fast-Rite type.
We also I like the clean crisp look of 3D imagery. That may be difficult to produce since we are looking to have this work for print easily as well as web. We are open to seeing a vector type globe to compliment the typeface.

How come when I type in urpmi kppp in mandrake 9.1 it doesn't install? I am also logged in as root, but can't seem to get anywhere with that, any help will be great, thanks.
Its been a while since I have used Mandrake and the rpm package manager but I would check that the sources targets for urpmi have been set up properly and initialized.
You should be able to do this through the Mandrake Control Center or alternatively check out http://plf.zarb.org/~nanardon/ to help set up external mirrors for urpmi on the commandline.
Good luck.
is urpmi already installed with mandrake or did you install it later?

Eastpak: The brand with a story to tell
Gosh, is it really that long ago that we were making duffels and packs for the Pentagon? It seems just like yesterday. Maybe that's because our military roots still run strong through everything we do. Because even though we've come a long way when it comes to design, we still like to build our bags and luggage to the same, life-saving standards as we did over 60 years ago. This is the Eastpak story.
Jashanmal National Co. is the sole distributor of Eastpak in UAE, OMAN, BAHRAIN & QATAR from March 2014. The brand is retailed through 15 Jashanmal Stores across the region. The company has also started its wholesale distributorship and have already reach to 60 doors and expect to hit 100 doors by end of 2014. Considering the demographics of the region and the youth population we do see a great potential for a lifestyle brand such as Eastpak in the years to come.

It is possible that the main title of the report Chromosome 9, Trisomy Mosaic is not the name you expected. Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report.
Chromosome 9, Trisomy Mosaic, also known as Trisomy 9 Mosaicism syndrome, is a rare chromosomal disorder in which the entire 9th chromosome appears three times (trisomy) rather than twice in some cells of the body. The term "mosaic" indicates that some cells contain the extra chromosome 9, while others have the normal chromosomal pair.
Associated symptoms and findings may vary greatly in range and severity, depending on the percentage of cells with the extra chromosome. However, common features include growth deficiency before birth (intrauterine growth retardation); mental retardation; structural malformations of the heart that are present at birth (congenital heart defects); and/or distinctive abnormalities of the skull and facial (craniofacial) region, such as a sloping forehead, a bulbous nose, short eyelid folds (palpebral fissures), deeply set eyes, and/or low-set, malformed ears. The syndrome may also be characterized by musculoskeletal, genital, kidney (renal), and/or additional physical abnormalities. Chromosome 9, Trisomy Mosaic may be caused by errors during the division of a parent's reproductive cells (meiosis) or during the division of body tissue cells (somatic cells) early in the development of the embryo (mitosis).

SAN DIEGO (AP) — A U.S. magistrate judge issued a conditional ruling Thursday that would allow a Malaysian defense contractor accused in one of the biggest Navy bribery schemes in years to be released on $1 million bail.
Judge Jan Adler attached to his ruling a list of stringent restrictions, including that Leonard Francis not only be monitored by GPS but must rent a San Diego apartment with surveillance cameras and alarms on the windows, and hire an independent, 24-hour security guard who would alert authorities if he tried to flee.
Adler also stayed his decision pending a review from a U.S. district judge.
Francis, the CEO of Glenn Defense Marine Asia Ltd., is the central figure in a multimillion bribery case that has been rocking the Navy. He was arrested in San Diego on Sept. 16 on charges that he offered luxury travel, prostitution services and other bribes to Navy officers in exchange for confidential information, including ship routes, that prosecutors say he used to overbill the Navy for port services in Asia.
One Navy captain also diverted ships to ports with less oversight so Francis' company could overcharge more easily or invent fake port fees, according to charging documents.
Three Naval officers have been charged in addition to Francis and his cousin, a company manager. All have pleaded not guilty. The Navy suspended access to classified material for two admirals, who are on temporarily leave while the probe continues.
The Navy announced Thursday that a San Diego captain has been suspended on unspecified allegations linked to the probe.
Prosecutors argued that Francis should remain in custody, given the gravity of the case. They said the Malaysian businessman is a wealthy world traveler who owns a fleet of vessels and can go wherever he wants. Prosecutors said Francis also has no strong ties to the United States, unlike the Navy officers who have been released on bonds.
"He has tremendous resources to buy whatever travel documents he needs south of the border," Assistant U.S. Attorney Robert S. Huie told Adler, noting that San Diego is only 16 miles from Tijuana, Mexico.
Francis also has a criminal record, Huie said, pointing to his conviction for illegal arms possession in Malaysia when he was 24.
Defense attorney Pat Swan called Francis "a loving and doting parent" who has suffered undue hardship being away from his three children, ages 5, 6 and 7. His 70-year-old mother has taken over the care of the children in Singapore while Francis has been in custody, but she is in poor health, Swan said.
Swan told the judge that Francis knew he was under investigation and could be arrested when he chose to go to San Diego to meet with Navy officials, who invited him to give a presentation on his business as part of a sting operation. Francis was arrested at his hotel after arriving.
"Mr. Francis wants to face the charges," Swan said.
It also would be tough for the 6-foot-3-inch man weighing over 300 pounds and known in Navy circles as "Fat Leonard" to not be spotted, given the case's widespread media coverage, Swan said.
Huie, the prosecutor, said Francis knew of the investigation because he had bribed a Navy investigator who has been arrested. He said Francis came to San Diego after investigator placed a fake document in his file saying the prosecution had declined the case.
Adler said in making his ruling that "I will not minimize the seriousness of this case," but the law also requires him to release a defendant if he can fashion conditions that will reasonably ensure he will not flee, which he believes the restrictions do.
Adler granted a request by the prosecution to not put his ruling in effect until it has been reviewed and approved by a district judge. It was uncertain when that will happen.

NEW YORK (CNN) – It's fairly clear the federal investigation into Penn State University won't be a duplication of the grand jury probe that led to charges of more than 50 counts of child sex abuse against Jerry Sandusky.
Instead, federal authorities seem to be stepping into areas where the state attorney general's office hasn't gone.
This time, they seem to be exploring the possibility of a cover-up at Penn State, as well as possible bribes, fraud, or misuse of federal money, according to three former federal prosecutors asked to independently review the subpoena Penn State received Feb. 2.
And on the case is one of the most experienced and respected assistant U.S. attorneys in the region, Gordon Zubrod.
The subpoena asks for:
- Payments made by university board members to third parties.
- Records of complaints, interviews or out-of-court settlements regarding Sandusky, a former coach at the university.
- Computer hard drives.
- Correspondence with Sandusky's children's charity, The Second Mile.
"If you thought there might be a cover-up, these are the type of documents you might want to get to know, one way or another," said Laurie Levinson, a former assistant U.S. attorney and current professor at Loyola Law School in Los Angeles.
"The subpoena appears to be exploring when or whether there was any institutional awareness of Sandusky's alleged conduct at Penn State," said James W. Spertus, a Los Angeles lawyer and former federal prosecutor.
"If, for example, there were private efforts by board members to settle claims before the matter became public, or there were reports to the board about the allegations, it could change the nature of the investigation."
Already, state prosecutors have charged two former Penn State officials with not doing enough when a report was brought to them in 2002 by an assistant football coach who said he'd allegedly witnessed something inappropriate in a locker room shower on campus.
The moral obligations of others have been questioned, but those charges involve inaction, rather than an overt cover-up.
This federal investigation appears to be going deeper.
"At this point, they don't have to have proof, just a theory," said Bruce E. Reinhart, another former federal prosecutor now in private law practice. "And they're trying to prove or disprove the theory."
And while Gov. Tom Corbett said in two recent television interviews that The Second Mile isn't under investigation by the state -- although his staff said he was speaking in past tense and meant "wasn't" - the federal subpoena is specifically looking at issues related to the charity where it's alleged Sandusky met almost all of his 10 accusers.
Lanny Davis, the high-profile Washington lawyer hired to represent Penn State in the wake of the Sandusky scandal, declined to comment on where the investigation might be going.
"We don't speculate on what prosecutors might be interested in, we just cooperate," Davis said.
Each year, educational institutions such as Penn State receive million of dollars in federal money earmarked for certain areas such as defense or medical research and educational programs.
If that money was used for other purposes, that could be a federal crime, Reinhart said.
"I'm sure they get all sorts of federal funding that flows into large state universities like that," he said. "As part of that sort of grant or funding, you have to certify those funds will only be used for the certain things. That could be why they'd be looking into interactions with Second Mile and Penn State."
Fraud could be a possibility if false statements were made to an agency such as the NCAA, Reinhart said. Something like, "We don't have any unauthorized persons using the training facilities."
Penn State has said that, as part of his retirement agreement, Sandusky kept an office and a key to the Penn State locker room.
Sandusky left his coaching job as Paterno's defensive coordinator after the 1999 season. He was asked, after the 2002 incident, not to bring children with him to the facilities, but university officials testified before a grand jury that the ban was unenforceable.
If Penn State didn't disclose that to an agency who asked for such information, that could constitute fraud.
"The NCAA might say, 'We would never have allowed them to go to a bowl or get certain funding,'" Reinhart said.
And then there's a possibility of hush money.
"If they somehow diverted funds to keep victims, or others in the know quiet," Reinhart said. "They might be trying to figure out if that happened. That would explain why they'd ask if trustees have ever made payments on behalf of university."
All these things requested in the subpoenas - e-mails, complaints, payments - all point to an investigation that might have little to do with the alleged victims, Levinson said.
"That looks much more like the back end - how did the university react to what Sandusky had (allegedly) done?" she said. "Not investigating what Sandusky had done. This is more about the university and The Second Mile."
When contacted, several people close to the alleged victims named in the state grand jury presentments against Sandusky said they had not been contacted or interviewed by federal investigators.
Those close to the defense for former athletic director Tim Curley and vice president Gary Schultz - both charged with failing to report the 2002 incident, then lying to a state grand jury about it - said the pair has not been subpoenaed.
Sandusky's attorney had no direct knowledge of the probe. The Second Mile and a lawyer for the late head coach Joe Paterno received requests for documents and are cooperating without a subpoena, sources said.
At this stage of the investigation, however, that's not unusual, the experts said.
"This is definitely the first step," Levinson said. "The first thing that happens is the prosecution sends out a subpoena for all the documents they can find and then start in on key witnesses."
The state grand jury continues to meet on the Sandusky case, a spokesman for the attorney general's office said, even after two presentments have led to multiple charges against Sandusky.
Because grand juries meet in secret, prosecutors can't talk about what topics they are exploring, however, Corbett said publicly there is no indication The Second Mile is under investigation.
He also publicly defended his decision to accept more than $25,000 in campaign donations from current members of The Second Mile board while running for governor. That number balloons to $200,000 when former members are included.
Corbett also received about $38,000 directly from current members of the Penn State board of trustees.

Cures for Cheek Biting
Hi, I am a women age 52 and I have been biting my cheeks inside my mouth for years. Now I have major gum issues. Please help me, how can I stop? Is there a cure? Help, it is so embarrassing, my cheeks are sinking as well. Thank you.
Unfortunately, there is not an easy fix for this. Most of the time, cheek biting is either a habit that people have or it is from the misalignment of teeth. It sounds like this is more than likely the latter. Evaluation by a dentist may show that orthodontics may be helpful.
52 years is not too old to get braces and could help your problem significantly. Good luck.

DETROIT (AP) — An 1877 Steinway grand piano used by Motown greats during the label's 1960s heyday, and restored thanks to Paul McCartney, is back home in Detroit, officials announced Monday.
Steinway technicians delivered the 9-foot Victorian rosewood to the "Hitsville, U.S.A," building midday Monday and workers set it up in a former recording studio in what's now the Motown Historical Museum.
McCartney, a longtime fan of the Motown sound who played and recorded several of the label's songs during the Beatles' early days, told museum officials after a 2011 concert in Detroit that he wanted to help with the piano's refurbishment after learning the historic instrument no longer could be played.
During his museum tour, McCartney played a different piano bearing a sign that read, "Please do not touch." He apologized and said he had to. When he came across the Steinway in Studio A, he found a cover on the keys, foiled not by a sign, but by deterioration that made the piano unplayable.
Work on the piano was completed last August, and the ex-Beatle and Motown founder Berry Gordy played it together during a September charitable event at Steinway Hall in New York City.
The instrument first made its way to Motown when the label acquired Golden World Records in 1967, a facility redubbed Motown Studio B and used by musicians and songwriters to create songs by Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye and other Motown greats.
To celebrate the piano's return, museum officials are inviting the public to visit Hitsville with free admission during Esther Gordy Edwards Community Day on April 25.
"This piano is part of our treasured collection of historical artifacts that tell the Motown story," Robin Terry, the museum's board chair, said. "We are thrilled to welcome it back home to Detroit, where it will be used to educate local students about the legendary history created in their hometown and share the Motown story for generations to come.
"We're happy to see our baby come home," she told the AP.
The piano was brought back to professional recording quality, Terry said, with all of its internal components — soundboard, keys, hammers, pins and strings — restored. The piano's case was left as is to preserve its authenticity, while the legs, which were not original, were replaced. While the original strings and hammers were worn beyond repair, they were retained and are being returned to the museum for exhibit.
Despite its condition upon arrival at the Steinway facility in New York, Terry said technicians described it as "one of the finest instruments they have ever worked on." One technician listened to it "and said, 'This piano can stand up to any concert piano anywhere,'" she said.
While historical preservation remains a priority at the museum, Terry said the restored instrument won't be off-limits all the time — at least to special guests like McCartney who know their way around the ivories — but will need a couple weeks of readjusting to its environment.
"One of the lessons that we were learned in this process is that instruments like that have to be played," said Terry, Berry Gordy's grand-niece. "Our approach to the piano prior to that was not to play it and to protect it and preserve it. The truth is ... it's built to be played."

What to Do if You're Being Bullied at Work
Shannon Hutton
We all know that there are bullies at school. I bet you can still remember who they are from when you were growing up. And now if you're a parent, you likely have taught your children what to do if someone tries to bully them. Unfortunately though bullies don't go away once we graduate and many of us have been bullied at our workplace. But that doesn't mean we have to put up with it.
Before I share ways to respond when being bullied in the workplace, I want to describe what that type of bullying looks like.
Bullying in the Workplace
Though the setting for bullying has changed from the playground at recess and the school cafeteria, the dynamics are the same. Workplace bullies exert their power to intimidate, exclude and/or belittle their targets. This could take the form of coercing a person to take a certain position in a meeting, whispering and walking away when a person approaches, and criticizing a person's job performance in the presence of colleagues. Regardless of the specific way bullies exert their power, the end result is that bullying in the workplace has serious repercussions.
Effects of Bullying
Although bullies in the workplace usually don't resort to physical attacks, that doesn't mean this bullying doesn't impact the person physically. Bullying takes both a physical and emotional toll on the person being bullied. Specifically, the targets of bullies often have trouble sleeping, get stomach aches, headaches, have eating issues, and increase their alcohol consumption. In addition, the person being bullied often experiences a series of negative feelings including frustration, sadness, anger, despair and depression.
The effects of bullying also go beyond the person being bullied and impact the organization as a whole because bullying in the workplace results in tardiness, missed days of work, lower productivity and poor morale for those involved. Therefore, it is imperative that the people being bullied in the workplace and their supervisors do all they can to end the bullying.
Ways to Respond if You're Being Bullied at Work
Just because you are being targeted by a workplace bully doesn't mean you are helpless. There are steps you can take to stop this form of harassment. Here are a few suggestions:
• Keep a written account of every time you are bullied. Provide specifics like who, where, when and how. This documentation will demonstrate that these aren't isolated incidents and that this harassment has been ongoing. The written details also make it easier to report the bullying in an objective, rational manner so there is no room for anyone to question the validity of the report.
• Report the bullying to your supervisor. If your supervisor is the bully, report the bullying to your supervisor's boss. While I know this can be uncomfortable, bullying is a form of harassment that needs to be reported. And depending on the level of harassment, there could be grounds for legal charges to be made. Either way though, this unacceptable behavior needs to be brought to the attention of others who can successfully intervene.
• Avoid the bully when possible. While I understand you can't skip staff meetings, you can choose to sit away from the bully in the meeting and eat your lunch at a different time and place. I am not recommending this because I believe you need to hide and run away from the bully, but because you will be bullied less if the opportunity doesn't present itself.
• When it's not possible to avoid the bully, do what you can to walk with a colleague to meetings, lunch and other workplace settings. This is because you are less likely to be bullied when you are with someone else.
• Walk confidently, with your head up, to convey self-confidence because bullies target those they think are weaker. If the bully believes you are on equal footing, she is less likely to target you.
• Pay attention to how you're sleeping, eating, feeling and functioning at work. If you notice changes in any of these areas, I recommend contacting your Employee Assistance Program to discuss the situation or seeing an outside therapist.
You Have a Right to Feel Safe at Work
While it's unfortunate that bullying is not something people grow out of, that doesn't mean it's something you have to put up with. You have a right to feel safe and comfortable at work. And whether the bully is in the lunchroom or the boardroom, he has to learn that his behavior is not acceptable.

"The faculty are highly impressive and come from a variety of disciplines to ensure students are exposed to a breadth of perspectives on tax law."
—Reuven Avi-Yonah, Irwin I. Cohn Professor of Law and Director of the International Tax LLM Program
International Tax LLM Program
The International Tax LLM Program is designed for a select group of professionals and academics in tax law who wish to complement their legal knowledge and experience with in-depth studies of U.S. and international tax law and policy.
The program is directed by Professor Reuven S. Avi-Yonah and offers a full range of courses including basic tax, corporate tax, partnership tax, international tax, and public finance. Students in the International Tax LLM Program can fulfill the program requirements as well as the required courses to sit for the NY bar exam after graduation from the program.
The main difference between Michigan's program and similar programs at other law schools is its size: our selective program is designed for a small group of four to 10 outstanding students. Students receive more individual attention than in larger programs, allowing for close contact with faculty, as well as opportunities to interact with fellow students of different primary interests.
Since 2002, we have placed 43 graduates in desirable positions at top law and accounting firms in the United States and abroad. The graphic at right indicates the firms in which our graduates have been placed domestically.
The remaining 16 students are either students in the SJD program or are working in law or accounting firms or for tax administration in their home country.

Understanding the Mortgage Process
We will provide you with everything you need to know about shopping for a mortgage all the way through closing one, and everything in between. This page has tips and resources to help you get smart on the mortgage process and know what to expect. Secondly, we've broken down the loan process for first-time home buyers in order to help you prepare for life's biggest purchase.
The first step towards being a first-time home buyer is getting your home loan application underway. A great first-time home buyer tip at this stage is to make sure you have your basic personal and financial information at hand when beginning your home loan application. Your credit score, current employment status, debt and long-term financial goals will all be collected and discussed at this point in the mortgage process.
Not to be mistaken with a pre-qualification, a home loan pre-approval is a mortgage company's commitment to issue a home loan for a specific property. This will be based off of your employment, credit and debt information.
This stage in the mortgage process will involve various documents, so please make sure you are prepared and as organized as possible coming into this step for the smoothest and quickest experience. While you may provide documents to your home loan expert at the beginning of mortgage processing, you may also be asked for additional information throughout any time during this stage, depending on your home loan type and financial situation.
During this mortgage processing stage, someone known as an underwriter and will review your application to make sure that your home and property are in good condition and that you'll be able to repay your home loan.

Why Get Pre-Qualified?
Pre-qualification acts as a "dry run" of the loan application process. The mortgage lender will use details you provide about your credit, income, assets and debts to arrive at an estimate of how much mortgage you can afford. The whole process may take only minutes or a few hours at most, and is free. While a "pre-qual" is non-binding to the lender (because the information you provide has not been verified), it does serve as a good indication to potential sellers of your general creditworthiness. These days most sellers will NOT accept an offer without at least a pre-approval letter, so if you are serious about buying this is the first step towards getting you in your new home.

When his kids were young and he was busy establishing his career, exercise fell to the bottom of Geoffrey Simmins priority list.
Over time, his fitness levels "slipped quite a bit," says Simmins, now associate dean of arts at the University of Calgary, and they continued to slip until he had a reason to turn them around.
"It was having two sons and realizing they were really, really active young men, and if I wanted to hang out with them, this was a way I could do it," he says.
Now in his 50s, Simmins runs three times a week, does a spinning and hot yoga class and tries to make it to the gym regularly.
It's a dramatic turnaround that's possible for anyone, says Michelle Fortier, a professor in the University of Ottawa's School of Human Kinetics.
"Everybody has the motivation," she says. "It just needs to be elicited."
Fortier research centres on why so many of us are unmotivated and what it takes to get us moving.
Although the benefits of exercise and the costs of inactivity are common knowledge, 50 per cent of Canadian adults are inactive.
"People in this country know that physical activity is important but I don't think they understand that we are in a crisis and how critical it is," says Kelly Murumets, president of Participaction.
This puts Canadians at greater risk for coronary heart disease, stroke, hypertension, breast cancer, colon cancer, type 2 diabetes and osteoporosis, says Murumets.
The key to getting people off the couch, according to Fortier, is to connect physical activity people's daily lives and values. She says people simply don't understand what exercise is.
"They think I'm not an athlete and I don't like to go to the gym, so I can't do physical activity. (But) there are so many activities people can do, even lifestyle activities like walking to work," she says.
Fortier's research shows if exercise connects with the person doing it, the motivation follows. "The whole approach is about getting people to come up with their own reasons for doing it and aligning physical activity with their values."
She uses a technique called values interviewing. A physical activity counsellor asks individuals to state three things that are really important to them. Then the counsellor asks the person whether exercise could help them achieve their dreams.
"You see the big picture and how it might feed your really important aspirations," she says. "It's very different than wanting to do physical activity for external reasons like because someone told me to."
Programs that follow the "boot-camp" model try to fill people with motivation, instead of finding it within the person, Fortier said.
It's an approach that won't work for a lot of people says Murumets.
"For some it will only work as long as you have that really harsh voice that is yelling in your ear. If that person goes away, you haven't really internalized anything and you will fall off the wagon really easily."
Fortier tested the motivational interviewing approach in a three-month study of 15 people. She found that those working with a physical activity counsellor had higher levels of fitness than those who did not.
People without access to a physical activity counsellor can simply write down three aspirations and how increasing physical activity can help achieve them.
It was Simmins' desire to spend more time with his sons that got him active. He started running again once a week, an activity he'd been passionate about in his 20s.
That turned into a half-marathon with his 16-year-old son Michael this year and a 53-kilometre hike on Jasper's Skyline trail with his oldest son David.
Meeting others can also be a motivating aspiration for exercise. Bob Reckhow, 62, has always been active, but after going through a divorce, he realized that his passion for walking could help him achieve another goal — finding a new social network.
"I've never had trouble being motivated to be outdoors and to walk or run or ski or skate but I wanted to find a way to find a way to meet new people," said Reckhow.
He decided to join a MeetUp group, a community that connects over the Internet to plan activities based on shared interests. In the case of Reckhow's group in Edmonton, it's walking together once a week.
"I've always done a lot of walking on my own and I thought that would be the kind of activity where I wouldn't be intimidated meeting strangers," he said.
For Reckhow, the key to motivation is doing something you enjoy.
"I think the word 'should' should be expunged from the English language. You would never enjoy doing something you think you should. You enjoy things that you want to do," he said.
Finding the motivation and activity you're passionate about is just the beginning, says Fortier. Then you need to plan what to do with it.
Set specific goals about what you are going to do, how long you're going to do it, with whom, when and where, says Fortier. Have solutions ready for "de-motivating" interruptions like phone calls or bad weather.
Then get out the door, she says, and do something you love.
Motivational tips from Michelle Fortier
Find an activity you enjoy. Visit participaction.com for a list of ideas.
Write down how exercise will help or hinder you in the three most important areas of your life.
Set short- and long-term physical activity goals.
Start slow. Go for a 10-minute walk; if you are enjoying it after 10 minutes, keep going until you have had enough.
Enhance your enjoyment by exercising with a friend, listening to music, walking or running in interesting neighbourhoods or on beautiful trails.
Anticipate barriers to taking up your activity and have a plan to deal with them.
Managing your time
Crowded schedules taken up with work, chores and kids are the most common reason many people never seem to find time for exercise.
But Leah Bell, a physiologist and coordinator of the Calgary Be Fit for Life Centre, says just about anyone can find nuggets of free time for activities if they restructure their days. Here are two examples of how she says this can be accomplished
Schedule One
Short bouts of physical activity are slotted into this jam-packed day.
6 a.m. Wake up. Do a ten-minute quick train Ñ it could involve yoga, jumping jacks, pushups or weight training Ñ to kick-start your day.
6:15 Get ready for work
7:15 Wake kids and prepare breakfast
7:50 Leave the house by car, drop kids off at school.
8:30 Arrive at work
12:00 Go for a 30-minute walk before eating lunch. Invite a co-worker.
12:45 Back to work
Initiate walking meetings Ñ strolling while discussing that new proposal.
4:30 Drive home from work
4:50 Greet children and go through homework. Take 10 minutes to do an age-appropriate active game with your kids. Practice standing on one-foot with your preschooler or challenge your teen to a sit-up competition.
5:10 Start preparing dinner and do laundry
6:00 Dinner
6:45 Grandma checks in
7:00 Take son to piano lessons. Go for a walk or run while your kids are at activities or set up a carpool to free up more time for fitness.
8:30 Get the kids to bed
8:45 Sit down with a novel
9:30 Watch a sitcom. If you want to, add some exercise: do sit-ups, pushups or squats during commercial breaks.
10:00 Head to bed
This schedule offers more time for structured activities, according to Bell.
6:30 Wake up
6:45 Shower and get dressed
7:15 Eat breakfast
7:45 Leave the house to get to work by bus. Get off the bus a few stops early and walk the rest of the way.
8:15 Arrive at the office
Noon Lunch break. Go for a walk or take a lunchtime fitness class near your workplace.
4:30 Leave work to go home by bus. Again, get off the bus a few stops early and walk home.
5:00 Arrive at home
5:30 Get groceries
6:15 Make and eat dinner
7:00 Meet a friend for coffee. Grab a coffee and go for a walk or join an exercise class with your friend.

Who'll stop the rain?
Since Christmas, an almost continuous stream of Pacific moisture has raced over Colorado and much of the West, dumping rain in the valleys and heavy snows in the mountains. The sun and crystalline blue skies I brag about to my non-Western friends and relatives have made only rare appearances in the narrow seams between storms.
Frankly, it's been a little depressing. But water-watchers in the West are almost giddy with delight: Every week, our local papers run stories with cheerful quotes from forecasters, proclaiming that the drought that has gripped the region for the past five years may soon be broken.
"Every string of fantastic years has to start with one," Tom Pagano, a water-supply forecaster for the U.S. Department of Agriculture, recently told The Associated Press, "and we can only hope this is it."
Early January surveys of snowpack show that the Colorado River system, which gathers runoff from Wyoming to Southern California, is likely to receive 98 percent of "normal" precipitation this year. If the rest of the winter meets historic averages, Lake Mead and Lake Powell — which have shrunk over the past five years to 56 percent and 36 percent of capacity, respectively — will soon rise.
But I wouldn't bet on the reservoirs overflowing just yet. As the scientists featured in this week's cover story so ably articulate, drought is a regular visitor to the West, sometimes lasting many decades.
The basic aridity of the region is something that explorer John Wesley Powell (whose name graces the massive reservoir on the Utah-Arizona border) warned the nation about more than 100 years ago. Powell's 1878 report to Congress — reprinted recently as The Arid Lands by the University of Nebraska Press — is "a sober and foresighted warning about the consequences of trying to impose on a dry country the habits that have been formed in a wet one," as Wallace Stegner wrote in the introduction to the book.
Powell and Stegner knew that droughts would ultimately define the development of the West. What they couldn't know was that our rapid combustion of the planet's fossil fuels could actually make the dry periods more lengthy and intense.
Over the past couple of years — years of warm temperatures, drought and wildfire — a new sobriety has fallen over the region. The realization is sinking in that the great system of dams and reservoirs built by the federal government might not see us through a major drought, especially not one amplified by global warming.
And so the West is once again on the cusp of confronting its basic aridity. Another dry year or two, and we might actually change our behavior. I hope it stops raining and snowing soon.

Premier League clubs have been put on alert after Mamadou Sakho suggested that he may be forced to leave Paris Saint-Germain due to a lack of first-team opportunities.
The France international was seen as a key man at the Parc des Princes not long ago, having excelled through the club's academy, but since the Ligue 1 outfit's recent spending sprees things are now different.
Carlo Ancelotti has favoured a central defensive pairing of Alex and Thiago Silva, leaving the 22-year-old frustrated with a bit-part role.
The reported Newcastle, Liverpool and long-term Arsenal target has now revealed that he is willing to leave if his position has not changed by the end of the season.
"I will do everything to play at the 2014 World Cup, but I need to be playing week in, week out," he told reporters.
"I cannot accept playing just a few minutes this season and next because this is a decisive moment in my career.
"At the end of the season I will sit down with my agent and club officials and clear up the situation.
"If I have to leave PSG to keep my place in the France national team, then I have no choice but to leave."
The Magpies are said to be big admirers of Sakho's, and having signed a number of French players in recent times could be seen as favourites for his signature, but many other sides are also touted as potential buyers.
And the youngster has provided hope for the Premier League club chasing his services, by revealing his love for the league.
He beamed: "I adore the English Premier League."

Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Mammalia Order: Rodentia Family: Cricetidae Genus/Species: Oryzomys palustris Subspecies: Oryzomys palustris sanibeli Common Name: Sanibel Island rice rat
Federal Status: Not listed FL Status: State-designated Threatened FNAI Ranks: G5T1Q/S1 (Globally: Demonstrably Secure, Sub sp. Critically Imperiled, [subspecies classification questioned]/State: Critically Imperiled) IUCN Status: Not ranked
The Sanibel Island rice rat can reach a length of 10.1 inches (25.7 centimeters) and a weight up to 2.5 ounces (70.9 grams). This species has brownish fur on their dorsal (back) side, a dark white belly, white feet, and a tail that is brown on top and white on the bottom (Florida Natural Areas Inventory 2001).
Very little information is available about the life history of the Sanibel Island rice rat, so information is summarized from the similar marsh rice rat, Oryzomys palustris. Rice rats feed primarily on animals such as insects, crabs, and snails, but they will also eat plants such as various species of marsh grasses. This species is primarily nocturnal and have large home-ranges. (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 1999)
Rice rats can breed throughout the year. Females carry the young for 21 to 28 days before giving birth. The average litter size is around four or five and the juveniles weigh between 0.11 and 0.14 ounces (3.1-4 grams). Females will begin weaning their young sometime between 11 and 20 days, with sexual maturity reached between the ages of 50 to 60 days old (Wolfe 1982). Rice rats usually live less than a year in the wild.
Marsh rice ratsare semi-aquatic and can be found in coastal marshes, hydric hammocks, swamps, and freshwater marshes and meadows. The Sanibel Island rice rat is a subspecies of the rice rat and is found only on Sanibel Island, Florida.
The main threats to the Sanibel Island rice rat are habitat loss, degradation (quality of habitat decreased), and fragmentation (division of a habitat to smaller separate habitats); predation by free-ranging cats; and competition with black rats. Urbanization is also a problem as it prevents the use of prescribed fire to control upland vegetation encroaching into its wetland habitat. Global climate change and sea level rise are an impending threat as wetland habitats may incur a tremendous influx of salt water. Because the Sanibel Island rice rat is found in such a small geographic area, hurricanes and tropical storms also pose a threat to the subspecies.
The Sanibel Island rice rat is protected as a State-designated Threatened species by Florida's Endangered and Threatened Species Rule.

Master playwright Ken Ludwig set the play "Moon Over Buffalo" in 1953, a time when struggling veteran actors George and Charlotte Hay are alternately performing "Cyrano de Bergerac" and Noel Coward's "Private Lives" at Buffalo's shabby Erlanger Theatre.
The decidedly un-shabby Bowie Playhouse is the current home for Prince George's Little Theatre's bright production of "Moon Over Buffalo," running through Feb. 16.
In this work, Ludwig creates sturdy plots featuring mistaken identities and frantic characters who run into and away from one another's complaints, slamming doors as they go.
The plot centers on George and Charlotte, former theater headliners who are now broke in Buffalo, with unpaid actors leaving their troupe. Amid their problems, they learn that film director Frank Capra is coming to Buffalo to catch their performance — and perhaps offer them jobs.
But George could miss this last chance at stardom due to complications that include a drinking problem, jealous wife Charlotte, his own attraction to young actresses, and a hearing-impaired, sharp-tongued mother-in-law Ethel, who also happens to be his theater manager.
The problems increase when the couple's daughter, Rosalind, arrives to announce she has quit acting for a normal life with TV weatherman and boyfriend Howard, thus abandoning her career and her former lover Paul, a fellow actor who has remained with her parents' theater company.
The mix of distractions compound George's perennial confusion over what role he's playing — Noel Coward's debonair hero or Cyrano — resulting in frequent changes of costume, each time bringing his clothing, and himself, to a greater state of disrepair.
Affirming the "show must go on" tradition, the Prince George's Little Theater cast and crew offer a production that overcomes an enormous obstacle: The show is dedicated in memory of Norm Gleichman, who had been slated to play the lead role of George Hay but who died in an accident Jan. 11 while vacationing in Mexico.
PGLT producer William Powell Jr. tapped actor Sandy Irving to play the part of George, and he steps up to embrace the role.
As the stressed theater company manager, Irving summons great comic skill to appear hopelessly drunk, growing funnier as he gulps spiked coffee to "sober up" for a scene. He then rises to hysterical heights as his Cyrano intrudes on the romantic "Private Lives" balcony scene.
Director Ann Lowe-Barrett has a cast of mixed experience — a few actors are making their PGLT debut, while others are more seasoned players. After an understandably slow start, in view of early difficulties, the actors create memorable characters struggling with all manner of detours on the road to fame and fortune, coaxing laughs that begin with giggles and later become roaring gales.
The stage crew deserves credit for its expertise in strategically placing doors to be slammed with forceful effect at frantic arrivals and departures, hitting comic notes in every scene.
Helping create the pandemonium is PGLT veteran Millie Ferrara as Ethel, whose hostility toward son-in-law George amuses as she manages to best him in every argument.
Totally believable as Charlotte, Barbara Lambert makes a shining PGLT debut that reflects her impressive credits with various other theatrical troupes. Also debuting with the company, Tiffany Yancey brings spice to young actress Eileen, summoning instant distress and comedic skill for maximum effect.
As business manager and Charlotte's perennial suitor Richard Maynard, PGLT veteran Keith Brown adds substance and wry comedy to his characterization.
After playing Meg in last season's "Crimes of the Heart," Caity Brown returns to PGLT to play daughter Rosalind and displays comedic talent as the frantic actress in the stellar balcony scene.
Brian McDermott is so appealing as actor Paul that we know Rosalind will find him irresistible, and Donny Singh-Perry meets all challenges of playing mistaken-identity victim Howard, whom Charlotte mistakes for director Frank Capra and George mistakes for an arresting officer when he is costumed as Gen. George Patton.
Prince George's Little Theater's production of "Moon Over Buffalo" continues weekends through Feb. 16 at Bowie Playhouse, 16500 White Marsh Park Drive, Bowie. Showtimes are 8 p.m. on Feb. 8, 9 and 15; and 2 p.m. on Feb. 10 and 16. Tickets are $20 for adults and $15 for seniors and those 18 and under. To order, call 301-937-7458 go to http://www.PGLT.org.

Can seizures be brought on by stress?
My 21 year old daughter has epilepsy and is on good medication. She has never had a seizure while on the medication. But now, since she started on-line college classes, is planning her wedding, and also works two jobs, she keeps having small seizures. She is still on the medication. Can "stress" bring on seizures to a person with epilepsy?
Stress is a known potential trigger for many patients with epilepsy. However, it is never safe to assume that stress was the only reason for a breakthrough seizure.
