The Best Drinks We Drank in October
Best of Drinks
The best stuff we've sipped lately.
Well, October didn't wrap up exactly as we'd planned, but before the storm hit the East coast, Serious Eaters did some celebrating (Will Gordon got married!) and some sipping. This month's highlights included a few unusual beers and liqueurs, a super high-end egg cream, creative cocktails, and more. Check out our favorite October sips in the slideshow above.

Thank You to Readers
I wanted to take a moment to tell my readers THANK YOU for making this a great year. For enjoying the books; chatting to me here, on FB, email, Twitter, whathaveyou; and all around being fantastic.
As many of you know, I've been completely swamped on the writing front, both with writing and other things behind the scenes. I want to let everyone know that I read and appreciate every single email you write to me privately, every card and letter I get via snail mail, and every post or comment on social media.
I don't always have time right away to answer, but I try to answer every email or letter I can. Sometimes emails get lost in the morass of my inbox (after I've read them), but I do read everything myself; I don't filter my email through an assistant. I appreciate everyone who takes time to write me, and I hope I can answer all your questions.
I've finally had the chance this week (though I'm still editing and proofreading like crazy) to mail off some things people have been waiting for--look for those this coming week or early next.
My schedule is just as crazy going into 2014, but that's a good thing. More Shifters are coming out this spring, more Mackenzies are in the works, I'll be republishing the Immortals series as soon as I can (plan for January). Plus I'm going to get back to the Capt. Lacey series, and revisit the Shareem and the Stormwalker series. Whew. :-)
But even with all that, I couldn't do it without my readers. I tip a big glass of champagne to you all, and again say THANK YOU!!!!

Rocker Andrew W.K.'s dreams of becoming an American Cultural Ambassador to the Middle East have been dashed by officials, who have determined he is not the best man for the job.
The "Party 'Til You Puke" musician was all set to travel to Bahrain next month to promote peace and prosperity in the region as part of his new appointment, but the 33 year old has since been "uninvited" from the official trip.
A spokesman for the State Department tells DCist, "The embassy determined that he (Andrew W.K.) was probably not a best choice and didn't meet our standards
The disappointed rocker writes on Twitter, "I'm just blown away. After a year of planning, the US State Dept. just cancelled my Middle East trip because I'm too party."

The signals that Boeing executives are sending on the 777X have one of the world's most-influential aerospace analysts concerned.
Key 777 customers want the updated version to enter the market by 2019 or earlier. But Boeing's chief executive has indicated the company won't introduce the 777X until sometime next decade.
"That's not the message you want to send to the market," said Richard Aboulafia, an analyst with the Teal Group who is one of the most-quoted in the business. He addressed about 400 people Wednesday at an aerospace conference in Lynnwood.
The only reason to tell customers Boeing won't deliver the 777X when they want it is if "you want to see the (A350)-1000 do well," he said.
Aboulafia took Boeing to task over the company's unwillingness to invest in new products over the last decade. Airbus, on the other hand, has invested in research and development fairly consistently. Unfortunately for the European jet maker, it invested in the A380, he said.
Aboulafia is speaking at the Pacific Northwest Aerospace Alliance annual conference, which goes through Thursday.
A couple other comments from the analyst:
On Airbus' A380: "Boy, the A380 seems to have faded into irrelevance." But Boeing's 747-8 isn't doing that well either, he said.
On Boeing's recent 787 woes: "In the long run, I think they'll get it right. We're keeping the faith, despite … what could be a difficult year."
On the A350: Airbus is "starting to get some traction" in terms of orders.
On automatic U.S. budget cuts: "I think there's a 15 to 20 percent chance of sequestration sticking."
On Boeing's KC-46 tanker and sequestration: "I think it will be OK." The fixed price tanker contract is "really beneficial for the Air Force."

Bolivia's first indigenous president, Evo Morales, easily won his campaign for a new constitution Sunday – promising vast new powers to the country's indigenous majority and bolstering his political clout.
Critics say Mr. Morales is dangerously dividing the nation and merely following in the footsteps of populist leftist allies Hugo Chávez in Venezuela and Rafael Correa in Ecuador, who have also rewritten their constitutions to invest the executive branch with more power.
True or not, something more is happening: This is a victory for Latin American indigenous groups marginalized since the Spanish conquest 500 years ago, say analysts, and some see it as a global human rights and racial-equity landmark.
"Bolivia's successful referendum process is precedent-setting with respect to indigenous empowerment worldwide," says Robert Albro, an expert on social and indigenous movements in Latin America at American University in Washington.
Exit polls show that almost 60 percent of Bolivians voted in favor of a new magna carta that recognizes 36 different indigenous groups and secures a place for them in Congress.
"It is really an unbelievable moment in Bolivian history," says Mr. Albro.
He attributes Morales's success in Bolivia, starting with his election in 2005 and capped by this referendum, to the urbanization of Bolivian society and the growing political clout of the indigenous, which has created an indigenous elite.
The obligatory vote on Sunday was peaceful, free of the sometimes deadly confrontation that has marked other moments leading up to constitutional reform in Bolivia – with Morales and his opposition, mainly based in the mineral-rich, tropical lowlands, locked in battles over regional autonomy and control over gas reserves.
The new constitution contains over 400 articles but its centerpiece is the effort to "decolonize" Bolivian society.
The indigenous comprise the majority of the poor, in the poorest nation in South America, and were only granted the right to vote less than 60 years ago.
The new constitution reserves seats in Congress and in the Constitutional Court for smaller indigenous groups, and grants all of them autonomy that will, among other things, allow them to practice community justice, according to their own customs.
In one of the more controversial articles, Bolivia now guarantees freedom of religion, extending the same recognition to the Andean god Pachamama, the Earth god of the Andes, as it does to the Christian God.
The current Constitution "recognizes and supports" the Roman Catholic church.
Sunday's vote included another referendum that asked Bolivians if they wanted limit the size of land holdings to no more than 5,000 or 10,000 hectares – in a government effort to more equitably distribute land. Official polling results aren't expected until Feb. 4.
Still, Morales supporters expressed jubilation at the outcome. "We are getting back everything we lost: money and culture," says Paulina Quiñonez, an Aymaran street vendor in La Paz. "They have robbed so much from us."
This vote comes as other nations in Latin America have moved, since the 1990s, toward constitutional revisions that recognize "plurinational" states, beginning with Colombia in 1991, says Albro.
The Zapatista movement in Mexico, which emerged in 1994, gave rise to a transnational movement, and presidential candidates Ollanta Humala in Peru and Rigoberta Menchu in Guatemala have also given the movement a boost.
Around the globe, countries such as Canada, New Zealand, and Australia have also gone a long way toward recognizing the "cultural rights" of native peoples. But Albro says that Bolivia's new constitution sets a precedent because of its degree of detail to guarantee the political, cultural, and economic rights of the majority indigenous population by a president of indigenous descent. "Usually such constitutional reforms have been carried out to better 'recognize' indigenous peoples but by largely nonindigenous governments," he says.
It was a goal that teetered on the brink of failure.
At one point, Bolivian opposition groups boycotted the process and protests turned deadly. In the end, a final draft constitution was only made possible via a series of negotiations and concessions made on the part of Morales and his political party (MAS). Of more than 400 articles, more than a quarter of them were modified.
Morales remains widely popular despite a strong opposition. He won 67 percent of support in a recall referendum in August, higher than the passage of the constitution. But the new constitution allows him to run for another consecutive term, which would end in 2014.
Some worry that the changes are simply a tool to hold onto power. Critics compare Morales to Mr. Chávez in Venezuela, who is holding a referendum next month to allow indefinite reelection for heads of state. "This is a clear victory for the poor," says Hugo Campos, a retired businessman in El Paz. "But this is too much like Chávez. They are just trying to dominate, and create divisions between [Bolivian] society and even with the US so they can dominate more."
Opposition forces say that the new constitution is further dividing Bolivian society. "This creates two types of citizens, one that is of [indigenous] origin and one that is not," says Luis Eduardo Siles, a former congressman and fierce Morales critic. "There was not this hatred in our society before."
And he says battles are bound to continue. For starters, it is unclear how the constitution, which leaves vast space for more protest and wrangling, will be implemented. "This doesn't solve any of the real problems. It will just create more fights," says Mr. Siles.
Indeed, to impliment the reforms outlined by the new constitution will require the passage of dozens of new laws. To get those through Congress, Morales will have to work with the oppostion.
Miguel Centellas, an assistant political science professor at Mount St. Mary's University in Maryland who writes a blog on Bolivian politics, says that not only will the sides dig in their heels, but new factions have arisen out of the process.
The opposition parties have splintered over negotiations over the constitution.
Some Morales supporters are angered by the concessions.
"I see this as yet another crisis in a series of crises," Mr. Centellas says. "I don't think the referendum will solve anything. … The country will remain just as polarized."

Week 1
During Week 1, devote half an hour a day to gentle exercise -- yoga, stretching, or leisurely walking -- to rev up your circulation. You'll also use this week to assess your fitness so you can chart your improvement at the end of the month.
Week 2
If you're a fitness beginner, use Week 2 to size up your schedule and pinpoint pockets of time you'll be able to devote to working out. Aim for 30 minutes of walking each day this week, even if it means squeezing in three 10-minute workouts: in the morning, on your lunch break, and at the end of the workday.
If you're more advanced, amp up your workout during Week 2. Choose from one of the cardio options below, then incorporate intervals of intense activity followed by periods of lighter movement. Try alternating three-minute bursts of walking and jogging, for instance, or switching between three-minute intervals of tough pedaling and leisurely cycling on your bike.
(Calorie burn is based on a 140-pound person exercising for 30 minutes)
Walking: 127 calories
Jogging: 223 calories
Cycling: 159 calories
Swimming: 191 calories
Hiking: 191 calories
Climbing stairs: 191 calories
Rowing: 223 calories
Step aerobics: 191 calories

To estimate your calorie burn during other physical activities, use our interactive calculator.
Next you'll introduce strength training to your Action Plan workout, adding a short routine two days during Week 3: Select eight moves from the list below, and aim to do 8 to 10 reps of each, making sure to work arms, chest, core, and legs. (Warm up with at least 10 minutes of cardio first.)
Strength Training
Choose eight moves from below and strive for 8 to 10 reps of each; the last rep should be tough but not so difficult that you can't maintain good form. If you can't do at least eight reps, the weights are too heavy. If you can do more, you're probably not challenging yourself enough.

Hold each stretch for at least 30 seconds, breathing deeply and slowly throughout each move.
Moving forward, shoot for at least 30 continuous minutes of exercise at least five days a week, gradually increasing the duration and/or intensity. If you're trying to lose weight, train for about an hour four to six times a week -- but make sure to take one day off each week to rest, replenish, and stave off fatigue.

text: Prior to the first act, an induction frames the play as a "kind of history" played in front of a befuddled drunkard named Christopher Sly who is tricked into believing that he is a lord.In the play performed for Sly, the "Shrew" is Katherina Minola, the eldest daughter of Baptista Minola, a Lord in Padua. Katherina's temper is notorious, and extremely volatile, and it is thought that no man can control her, and no man would ever wish to marry her. On the other hand, her younger sister Bianca is nubile and much sought after by the nobles. Baptista however has sworn not to allow his younger daughter to marry before Katherina is wed, much to the despair of her suitors, Hortensio and Gremio, who agree that they will work together to marry off Katherina so that they will be free to compete for Bianca.The plot becomes considerably more complex when two strangers, Petruchio and Lucentio, arrive in town (although not together). Lucentio, the son of the great Vincentio of Pisa, instantly falls in love with Bianca. Petruchio, for his part, seems interested only in money and fine jewels.When Baptista mentions that the only men who will be permitted to attend Bianca are tutors, Hortensio disguises himself as a music tutor named Litio, and Lucentio disguises himself as Cambio, a tutor of philosophy. Gremio then encounters Lucentio, and presents him to Baptista, whilst Hortensio convinces Petruchio to present him to Baptista. Thus, Lucentio and Hortensio, pretending to be teachers, attempt to woo Bianca behind her father's back.Meanwhile, Petruchio is told by Hortensio about the large dowry that would come with marrying Katherina. Petruchio quickly negotiates the dowry with Baptista, then marries Katherina in a farcical ceremony during which, amongst other things, he strikes the priest, and then takes her home against her will. Once there, he begins the "taming" of his new wife – he keeps her from sleeping by blowing a trumpet, invents reasons as to why she cannot eat, and buys her beautiful clothes only to rip them up with a crudely forged bread knife. When Katherina, profoundly shaken by her experiences, is told that they are to return to Padua for Bianca's wedding to Lucentio (actually Lucentio's servant Tranio in disguise), she is only too happy to comply. By the time they arrive however, Katherina's taming is complete and she is either unable or unwilling to resist Petruchio. She demonstrates her complete subordination to his will by agreeing that she will regard the moon as the sun, and the sun as the moon.Meanwhile Bianca marries the real Lucentio, after the Lucentio/Tranio subterfuge is exposed, and Hortensio, realizing he has no hope of winning Bianca, marries a rich widow. During the banquet, Petruchio brags that his wife, formerly untameable, is now completely obedient. Baptista, Hortensio, and Lucentio are incredulous and the latter two believe that their wives are more obedient. Petruchio proposes a wager in which each will send a servant to call for their wives, and whichever wife comes most obediently will have won the wager for her husband. Katherina is the only one of the three who responds, winning for Petruchio the wager. At the end of the play, after the other two wives have been summoned, Katherina gives them a soundly-reasoned speech on the subject of why wives should always obey their husbands. The play ends with Baptista, Hortensio and Lucentio marvelling at how Petruchio has thoroughly tamed the shrew.

It's supposed to be nice out this weekend in the Twin Cities, so I'm guessing plenty of grills will get fired up.
Accidents DO happen, resulting in serious injury and even death.
Take precaution. Follow these 11 grilling tips compiled by Warners' Stellian's HR manager, Judy Mansun:
- Don't partially precook meat or poultry before transporting
- Put your cooler inside your car rather than the hot truck
- Be sure all utensils, cutting boards, plates, cooking surfaces and hands are clean.
- Never place cooked meat on a platter that held raw meat.
- So foods won't stick to the grill surface, dip a folded up paper towel in olive oil and rub over the grate before turning on your grill.
- Keep your grill away from overhangs, fences and shrubbery.
- Never add lighter fuel directly to hot coals. The flame could travel up the stream and burn you.
- When refilling a propane cylinder, have the supplier check for any damage or leads (especially when the cylinder has been stored, such as during the winter)
- Always use and store propane cylinders in an upright position.
- Use tongs to lift and turn meat. Using a fork pierces the meats and lets precious juices escape.
- When lighting a gas grill, always keep the lid open to prevent a flash off from gas build-up
Warners' Stellian carries only the best gas grills and charcoal grills (and smoker grills too!) in a range of budgets. >>Browse more

Georges Bare (d. 1556)
Georges Bare (Barre), an Anabaptist martyr, burned at the stake at Kortrijk (Courtrai) in Flanders, Belgium, on 5 February 1556. Bare was quite impetuous, for in prison he broke an image of the Virgin off the wall. His brother, who was Catholic, visited him in prison and sought to deflect him from his faith, but in vain. The efforts of the Catholic churchmen as well as torture were likewise fruitless. Bare remained steadfast in his faith. After a month of solitary confinement he was executed. His property was confiscated. Bare was born near Rijssel (Lille) in France and lived in Kortrijk.

(Reuters) - The Michigan state Senate on Tuesday voted 20-18 to approve a bill to expand Medicaid, the health program for the poor, under President Barack Obama's healthcare reform law.
Michigan Governor Rick Snyder broke with other Republican governors this year to support Medicaid expansion through Obamacare.
The Senate approved a version of a bill passed by the state House in June with some differences on Tuesday and the bill must return to the House for a final vote before it can be advanced to Snyder for his signature.

Weekend Column: Introducing….Archives of a Beer Nerd
By: Timperial Stout
On August 31, 2007 I started a beer review journal. It's a college ruled, 100 sheet marble composition book. I figured that, since I was more often than not drinking a lot of really exciting beers, I should document some of the flavors (or lack thereof) and my enjoyment of them (or lack thereof).
Having a really bad memory is one thing, but when there are nearly infinite amounts of beers out there to be tried (when you consider seasonals, new releases, etc.), there's no way that anyone could keep their opinions on all of them in their accessible brain bank. Thus, the beer journal, and it has indeed proved valuable on many occasions, and continues to do so.
In fact, I often will write my tasting notes in the journal for beers that I end up turning into Notes of a Beer Nerd. It not only serves as a rough draft, but it remains my hand written archive.
How many reviews are contained in this archive so far? I chose to only estimate. I've only written on one side of the sheet, so 100 pages total, and I've completed roughly 2/3 of the notebook. Some of the earlier entries have brevity. The same goes for entries on days where I was tasting many beers back to back and had limited time to deliberate. I'll estimate 2.5 entries peer sheet. That's approximately 165 reviews.
I've found that the journal is actually quite fun to read, not solely for historical sake, but for pleasure as well. I often find it interesting to observe how my palate has matured. It's also quite exciting to read some of the reviews that were entered after a few to many drinks, especially when I knew that no one else was reading.
Like I said, there have definitely been a number of brief reviews, as well as some that are…well… quite boring. I'll spare you those. The rest, if I deem them worthy, will be periodically published in this column for your reading pleasure.
A few notes before we begin – Right from the start I decided that every entry would have the date the sample was enjoyed, the name of the brewery, the name of the beer, the location of the brewery, and tasting notes. As the journal evolved I added bottle size and abv. I have chosen to not make any changes to the wording, so expect fragments and the like, after all, I wasn't expecting anyone other than myself to ever see these. Lastly, since this was all hand written in a notebook, I do not have pictures, so I'll try to find labels online for the visuals.
First ever entry (why not?):
Great Divide Brewing Co. (Denver, CO) – Samurai Ale
Brewed with rice. Very light yellow color, light drinking. Supposedly unfiltered. I can taste the rice but much more subtle than Hitachino. Less bite, very east to drink. I have never seen this beer before, must be new or a seasonal. Very little carbonation. Half way through, the rice taste begins to be lost, and the beer becomes a bit boring. I respect Great Divide for making a rice beer, don't know any other American brewer that does, but not the quality I have come to expect from them.
De Dolle Brouwers (Esen, Belgium) – Special Reserva
Brewed in 2006. 13% abv. Apparently very rare, only 20 cases in Washington. The epitome of complex. Dark, reddish color, above average, though not really consuming carbonation. Smells and tastes much like Three Philosopher, though with a Flemish red edge, more than a lambic one. Sour initially and more dark depths at the end of the sip. Dried fruit caramel maltiness. So much going on and so good. Don't get any alcohol burn at all which is surprising with the high abv. Would like another though I couldn't drink a bunch. Definitely worth the $9 for 12oz.
That's all for now, but many, many more to come. Feel free to post a comment and let us know what you think about the new column idea.
May 7, 2010 at 2:04 pm
Special Reserva. My love. This reminds me of the week before leaving for Belgium, when we took on the 2008. This is an amazing beer, unparalleled to a large extent by anything made in the US.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Company Subjected Employees to Racial Slurs, Retaliated Against Them for Complaining, Federal Agency Charged
PHOENIX — Emmert Industrial Corp., d/b/a Emmert International, violated federal law by harassing employees and retaliating against them for opposing the harassment, among other unlawful practices, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) charged in a lawsuit filed today.
The suit alleges that an Emmert International project superintendent and other employees routinely subjected employees to unwelcome racial harassment, including frequent racial slurs. These actions took place in 2009, when Emmert was working on a project to move Odd Fellows Hall, a nineteenth century building in downtown Salt Lake City. The EEOC alleges that the project superintendent harassed at least one black employee and, when the employee asked him to stop, the superintendent told him he could leave the job if he didn't like it. The EEOC also alleges that Emmert International then isolated that employee and later did not rehire him because of his complaint and because of his race. Emmert International similarly harassed and retaliated against a white employee in an interracial marriage, according to the EEOC's lawsuit.
Such alleged conduct violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits race discrimination in employment and protects employees from retaliation when they report discriminatory treatment. The EEOC filed suit (EEOC v. Emmert Industrial d/b/a Emmert International, Civil Action No. CIV-11-00920-CW) in the United States District Court for the District of Utah, Central Division after first attempting to reach a voluntary settlement through its conciliation process.
"After more than forty years of enforcement of the federal statute prohibiting race discrimination in employment, there is no excuse for the prevalent use of racial slurs and other discriminatory treatment in the workplace," said Regional Attorney Mary Jo O'Neill of the EEOC's Phoenix District Office. "Moreover, employees must know that when they complain about such treatment, they are protected by law."
EEOC Phoenix District Director Rayford O. Irvin added, "Every employee deserves to work in an environment free from harassment. Many people believe that blatant race discrimination no longer exists, but the problem persists. The EEOC will continue its efforts to eradicate race discrimination and protect employees from unlawful retaliation."
The EEOC's Phoenix District has jurisdiction over Arizona, Colorado, Wyoming, New Mexico and Utah.
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the EEOC is available on its web site at www.eeoc.gov.

Aspen - Nevada USAAbout this photograph
The series ' Portraits d'arbres ' (Portraits of trees) undertaken between 1976 and 1986 is the product of an introspective work. Frank Horvat marks a pause in his career. Busy trimming the trees of his second house and putting down in writing his childhood, he realizes that the two activities are linked. The image ' Chêne Dordogne ' (A walnut tree in Dordogne) interrogates a fundamental chasm between subject and character. Here again the genres are transcended because the exercise of landscape is treated according to the codes of a portrait.Read more Read less

Frank Horvat was born in 1928 in Abbazia in Italie. He first studied academic drawingonly to quickly dedicate himself to photography. True jack - of - all - trades, his workextends over genres without ever closing itself inside one domain. By turns, reportervoyager, great photographer of fashion or intimist artist, his photography operates asa veritable mode of expression, without worrying about codes or epochs. He has notably worked for the magazines Life and Vogue. His style owes as much to thestrict princi-pals of a Cartier Bresson as to the digital evolutions of the last decadeof the 20th century. This oscillation between staging and simple witnessing foundsthe singularity of each of his images.www.horvatland.com

During the fiercely competitive 2012 Senate race in Massachusetts, the two candidates made an unusual promise: neither would allow outside groups to fund attack ads on their behalf. If either Democrat Elizabeth Warren or Republican Scott Brown broke this so-called "People's Pledge," they agreed they would pay half the cost of the ad in question to a charity of their opponent's choice.
"We're saying that we want to be able to run our own campaigns," Ms. Warren, now senator, told Boston radio station WBUR at the time.
Neither side backed down. When two outside groups ran ads on Mr. Brown's behalf several months before the election, he dutifully cut checks to Warren's charities. After that, the outside ad spending dried up.
But in this year's special election to fill the state's other Senate seat – vacated by John Kerry – things have been markedly different. When Rep. Edward Markey, a Democrat, asked Republican Gabriel Gomez to take the same pledge in early May, Mr. Gomez refused, saying his opponent could afford to make that promise only because he already had a sizable campaign war chest built up over his nearly four decades in Congress.
"It's an open seat but [Gomez] knew he was essentially running against an incumbent," says Shannon Jenkins, a political scientist at the University of Massachusetts in Dartmouth. "Markey has a huge network of donors, so Gomez needed all the help he could get."
But now it seems that strategy may have backfired. Since the general election campaign began, outside groups have spent far more on Markey's campaign than Gomez's. According to the Center for Responsive Politics, which tracks campaign spending, "super political-action committees" and other groups have paid out about $2 million in support of Markey's campaign and another $2.5 million-plus against Gomez since the start of the election cycle.
For Gomez, on the other hand, outside groups have funneled about $700,000 into efforts on his behalf and spent another $700,000 against Markey.
And as the two candidates and their supporters race to reach lethargic voters more focused on summer beach trips and the Stanley Cup finals than politics, this outside money has fueled a blitz of TV and radio ads to hammer home the campaigns' messages.
Over the past month, the Senate Majority super PAC, for instance, has spent more than $1 million on Markey ads, with the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee dropping another $700,000, according to the Sunlight Foundation, which also collects campaign finance data. A second super PAC, the NextGen Committee, which opposes the Keystone XL Pipeline, spent $153,000 of its own to run a string of anti-Gomez ads on the streaming radio service Pandora.
Gomez, on the other hand, has received most of his outside ad money from a single group, a newly formed super PAC with the curious name Americans for Progressive Action. Since its emergence two weeks ago, the group has spent more than $1.1 million, mostly in ad buys for Gomez. (They've also launched a sparse website attacking Markey, 37years.com.)
The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday that the exclusive source of funding for Americans for Progressive Action is a wealthy California winemaker named John Jordan, who says he has never met Gomez but was compelled to get involved when he saw "an American hero running in a close race in a tough state while getting absolutely pounded by Democrats throwing everything they could at him."
For the most part, the ads on both sides have followed the campaigns' familiar yarns. Gomez spliced images of a dreary looking Washington D.C. with the text "37 years in Congress. Dirty Ed Markey," suggesting his opponent was just a tired career politician. Markey, meanwhile, honed in on Gomez's fuzzy positions on issues like abortion and tax reform to paint him as disingenuous and inexperienced.
Markey's larger war chest has given his ads more reach thus far, but advertising is an uphill battle for Gomez in another regard too.
"Information from the media is more likely to impact voters when they have fewer preconceived notions of the candidate," Ms. Jenkins says. That benefits Markey – one of New England's longest serving congressmen and a known quantity in the state – over Gomez, who has never held political office.
What about the negativity of many of the campaign's ads? Political science research shows that audiences don't like negative ads, Jenkins says, but they're also far more memorable than fluff pieces talking up a candidate's positive attributes. There's a reason, after all, that people are still talking about Lyndon Johnson's famous daisy ad nearly 50 years after it was first aired.
As Gomez and Markey spend the final days leading to the June 25 election in a frenzy of hand shakes and stump speeches, they're likely hoping their ads can also make an impression that lasts – at least until Tuesday.

The GOP's immigration jam
Behind the Curtain: About this weekly feature
Behind the Curtain is a reported column, Web show and online conversation about the behind-the-scenes intrigue that shapes politics and policy. It will unfold every Tuesday (and beyond, when news dictates). See previous editions of Behind the Curtain here.
Think Republicans feel in a jam about raising taxes? Wait until President Barack Obama springs comprehensive immigration reform on them early next year.
Story Continued Below
With Obama making plain his plans to push immigration soon, leading establishment Republicans — fresh off Mitt Romney getting his clocked cleaned by 44 percentage points among Hispanics last month — insist they are now very much open to a comprehensive package, including eventual citizenship for illegal immigrants.
( PHOTOS: 20 quotes on immigration reform)
But while top Republicans think they need to make a big move on the issue and actually want a bipartisan deal with Obama, the rank and file remain skeptical. And it is this tension that is defining the behind-the-scenes machinations as both parties plan for 2013.
"There's a growing sense that this is an opportunity that should be taken," said Ed Gillespie, a former Republican National Committee chairman and top adviser to Romney's presidential campaign. "There's no instinct like a survival instinct."
Jeb Bush, the former Florida governor, told us that Republicans should strike first and offer "a conservative immigration proposal that is comprehensive" before Obama's State of the Union address. "My personal belief is that President Obama views this issue from a cynical political perspective not an economic one," the former governor said by email. "After all, when he promised four years ago to do something and he had vast majorities in the Congress, he did nothing."
( Also on POLITICO: Hispanic mega-donors eye immigration)
Many of the Republicans who would have to vote on such a package — and then run for reelection in off-year primaries and general elections dominated by white conservatives — aren't so sure it's such a great deal. Regardless of exit polls, demographic trends and lectures from party leaders, lawmakers know that many voters — especially primary voters, and especially their primary voters — hate anything that smacks of amnesty. They will hate it even more, given that the issue is likely to come up just after GOP leaders in Washington have negotiated a tax increase.
"Political consultants in Washington are panicking about Hispanics, and their solution is to grant amnesty," said a conservative GOP lawmaker, who insisted on anonymity in order to speak candidly. "They're afraid Hispanics hate Republicans, so they want more of them? It doesn't pass the laugh test. This is an important issue with the Republican base, and members are right to be worried about getting primaried."
( Also on POLITICO: Rubio: Winning Hispanic voters a GOP 'challenge')
GOP sources tell us a small but influential group of conservative leaders have begun talks to provide cover to House lawmakers fearful about the political implications of immigration. Policy advisers to Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan of Wisconsin and others are working together on a series of smaller immigration bills that the House and Senate could pass over the next two years.

A man accused of being part of a group that beat a man to death in West Baltimore "acted as any other father would" and maintains his innocence, his lawyer said Monday,.
"What he did not do is murder the man," attorney Thomas J. Maronick, Jr., said.
His client, Willie Mayes, 59, is accused of first-degree murder in the Sept. 2 death of Donald Robinson, 52, in Reservoir Hill.
Baltimore police said Mayes, his 19-year-old daughter, Latiqwa Mayes, and two teenage strangers ganged up on Robinson after Latiqwa screamed out that Robinson had raped her. Latiqwa Mayes was also charged with murder as was Kwan Blackburn and Malik Antonio Hampton-Cummings, both 17.
"What my client was doing what any father would do, trying to protect his daughter," Maronick said. "Let the facts come out. Let the truth come out. Let's wait on all the facts and I think it'll shed a lot of light on the circumstances."
Maronick said his client plans to plead not guilty but he declined to comment on whether Mayes assaulted Robinson because Maronick said he hasn't seen all of prosecutors' evidence.
On the night of Sept. 2, Latiqwa Mayes saw Robinson walking down the street and began yelling "He raped me. He's a sex offender," according to an arrest warrant. Willie Mayes called out to Robinson but when he kept walking, police said, Mayes also yelled: "Stop that guy, he tried to rape my daughter. Stop him."
Blackburn and Hampton-Cummings, both playing basketball in the 800 block of Lennox Street, responded and stopped Robinson, police said. Arrest warrants said they were among "several people" including Mayes and his daughter seen on a CitiWatch police surveillance camera beating Robinson, who was pronounced dead shortly after officers arrived.
Court records show Robinson was found guilty of a third-degree sex offense in 2003. Latiqwa Mayes did not report any alleged sex crime, police said. No attorney was listed in court records for her or the teens implicated in Robinson's death.

beginning of the end?
"it could mark the beginning of the end for HD DVD."
Beginning? At best it's the middle of the end. More like a nail in the coffin.
Wal-Mart has apparently decided to follow Best Buy and Netflix and only offer its customers Blu-ray Disc products in future. From June, the retail giant will no longer offer HD DVD players. The news comes from the company's Check Out blog, penned by staffers. One of them, Susan Chronister, today wrote: "OK, so are you ready …
"Not sure of the short-term pricing plans, but history tells us that as more people move to a new technology prices typically go down."
Is this really true of Sony?
Well I suppose it is in so much as they go down a little, but they still remain far higher with the Sony brand.
There seems to be a perception that with "one format" and it being Blu-Ray that we'll get budget players in ASDA and £5 a pop for a disc. Fat chance with Sony at the helm.
However, it is inevitable with the steam roller power of Sony and the fanboys that HD DVD will be no more, but really how successful will Blu-Ray be? £300 for a player and (once the BOGOF deals dry up with no competition) £20 per disc, and what perceivable benefit to Joe Public who thinks DVD is the bees knees anyway, especially at £5 a movie and £20 for a player?
So we'll have Blu-Ray and everyone cheers. Great. Sony have achieved their plan of wrecking the party and the consumer ultimately loses. It's short sighted. Oh well. Enjoy.
Walmart is not just the 800 lb gorilla in the room, it's the rampaging bull elephant of the retail world. If Walmart goes Blu then it will not matter what the HD-DVD lobby and Toshiba do, the game is over, end of story. Do not pass Go. Do not collect $200.
Honestly I truly hope that this story is true. Thie stupid format war should never have happened. Both Toshiba and the Blu-Ray folks should have got together early on and agreed a compromise. One thing that seems to have been a theme in coverage of this is the whole Blu is Sony is Blu thing. While Sony is a true Blu supporter and one of the founding members of the BDA and developers of the tech, it should not have escaped the notice of Toshiba that Blu-Ray is/was backed by the rest of the CE industry. That alone should have been a sufficient clue to enable a compromise. However Toshiba chose not to compromise and began swimming against the tide.
A pity. This expensive and pointless format war could have been averted before it started. You'd have thought that the example of betamax would have been sufficient warning for the industry. Still it appears that Sony actually learned something from that experience and got the vast majority of the CE industry involved from the beginning. They also got most of the content industry on board early on. Wise moves. Including Blu-Ray in the PS3 was risky, but appears to be paying off.
Well, this is all rumor, so it has to go in the 'hope it happens soon' category. For now.
I think Toshiba's troubles can be traced to CES. Warner kicked them in the balls just one day before their big press conference and that was that. The conference got cancelled and its been bad news since. It must have sucked that Warner shifted to Blu but enough to cancel a press conference? My guess is they were going to announce a Fox and Warner defection and a Toshiba branded 360 with HD DVD. But with Warner going Blu, *everything* fell to pieces and we are where we are. Maybe MS wouldn't even agree to a Toshiba branding on their precious console without victory in the bag.
There is fantastic story there for any journo who can find out what they *were* going to present.
If not for that announcement we might be all talking of the demise of Blu Ray right now. As it is, HD DVD is dead as a dodo. From a pragmatic point of view Blu Ray always had the edge in player sales and technological superiority but we all know how a few greased palms at studios could have turned it the other way.
"Oh well. Enjoy."
Thanks, i certainly will now it look more than likely that 100% of the studios will produce blu-ray in fairly short order. (maybe paramount will hold out to take as much of the bribe as possible, unless toshiba has a get out clause)
oh and thats where the competition will come, from competing movie studios or are you still paying £20 - £30 for a dvd? thats possibly your problem, trying to polarize everything into a me vs them when its more a me vs thems
and seeing as there are competing hardware manufacturers rather than just one hardware prices will drop, i bet toshiba will knock out a good blu-ray player stick in their much praised upscaler, a cell chip and the network adaptors (they can take out of unsold hd-dvd players) and it'll be a pretty tidy piece of equipment. Maybe they'll offer a recycling scheme? actually with EU reg's dont they have to? or is that just environmental disposal?
There's already been a sub $300 player announced, and with the shift to Blu-Ray exclusively, economies of scale / popularity will come to play and you can bet before you know it there'll be chinese/korean imitation BD players on the market for $100-150. And when the market size for Blu-Ray reaches mainstream levels of adoption, the prices of Blu-Ray discs will drop as well.
Yeah, damn right people will enjoy. As for pricing, Bro you got no idea. DVD took over 18 months to drop below £18 for mainstream block buster releases, and even today they still expect £13 minimum for them.
The fact is, it is the retailers who end up having the biggest say over what we end up paying and when hardware manufacturers (all of them for everything), have tried to keep prices high, the retailers simply buy from elsewhere and other countries. Tescos UK regularly go to East Asian manufacturing plants and buy directly from there because of this. The manufacturers price fixing conglomerates were broken up around the world or crippled by legislation years ago.
Sony don't own Blu-Ray, they are a developing partner and any attempt to keep prices high will simply mean the consumer won't buy and the BR manufacturers won't see any profit. The only reason HD-DVD players were so cheap was because of the loss Toshiba were making. You are very very naive if you think Toshiba wouldn't have charged full price if they could have done.
DVD was the same. Budget players didn't appear for two years and you couldn't buy a decent lower end player for less than "£225 after the same time. As for disks, they only dropped in price once it became profitable and the consumers bought in large enough quantities. You also ignore the fact that with DVD again, block buster titles were suddenly appearing for £10 for a while and this was because of subsidised prices from the studios to encourage us to buy. That subsidy vanished real f-kin quick when we did!
No offence, or patronising, really I'm not... I just get the impression you aren't old enough to have really gone through all of this and weren't buying DVD from the very very start.
Taking a swing at Sony is really ill informed. Do you REALLY know who make up the BR association?! Take a look...
The biggest culprit in the world for trying to keep prices high are Apple, and wouldn't you know who is on the BR development board!! But you take a swipe at Sony all the time. What about Samsung, LG and Pioneer? Oh yeah, weren't LG one of the first to market with a DUAL FORMAT PLAYER?! Some of those contributors and general members happen to be technological partners of Nintendo Japan by the way. The people who make your much maligned Wii…
Your rants and arguments have no factual basis bud, that one link shows that without question. I rest my case.
Now Tim, go get your shine box!
My local Asda used to stock both Blu-ray and HD-DVD but a week or two back both formats were removed from the shelves. Really anoyed me too as they had plenty of movies at £20 or under e.g 3:10 To Yuma new release at £15.98. I am looking upon their removal as a clear sign that the company is making a decision as to which format to support in the long term.
Anyone else noticed how new DVD's appear to be low quality? My Transformers DVD looks like it's been recorded with a webcam, even on CRT I see artifacts. The "Dreamworks" motif looks like it was broadcast on YouTube. My 5 year old DVD's are noticeably much higher quality.
Pirate logo cos my Pirate Bay downloads look much better.
Format wars are silly - betamax was better than VHS but JVC's VHS was good enough and it stole the march. The industry should have learned from that - two competing DVD HD formats was silly, and I'm glad if it has been overtaken by retailer decisions. Philips had a huge success with its audio cassette and tried to do it again several times with video, but lost a fortune. Sometimes co-operation is the only sensible way forward.
"TOKYO (Reuters) - Toshiba Corp is planning to stop production of equipment compatible with the HD DVD format for high-definition video, allowing the competing Blu-Ray camp a free run, public broadcaster NHK reported on Saturday.
Toshiba is expected to suffer losses amounting to tens of billions of yen (hundreds of millions of dollars) to scrap production of HD DVD players and recorders and other steps to exit the business, Japan's NHK said on its website..."
Hold the other HD-DVD partners to account for their lack of involvment lately? Lets get off the HD-DVD vs BR rant we let Tim suck us into, and examine a major issue in all this.
The last six months or more, Toshiba have been the only one helping the format. Why haven't Acer or HP shipped EVERY new PC with HD-DVD drives? We know MS want us to buy downloads off of them so it's a no brainer there so let stay off that one (!).... and the studios go with what shifts the most product ultimately.... Which is BR now that is without a doubt. But the other two big technology partners, shame on you.
I just feel very sorry for Toshiba, clearly shouldering the largest development, marketing and manufacturing costs yet seemingly getting no support from their partners. That is what stinks here.
Not consumers getting burnt (early adopters know the risks, and if it is your first time, welcome to the club!!). Toshiba seemed to throw all their weight behind this only to watch their partners fk off basically!
And ultimately it is only them who will get the corporate humilation when they announce BR support (which is inevitable). Just as Sony get the bashing for "owning" BR. Both are unfair and factually wrong.
To me, these are probably the real issues here. (?)
Stores don't care how many formats there are, they can sell them all. I reckon Sony are putting price pressure on the chains to offer exclusive blu-ray ranges.
I don't like blu-ray yet, because I don't know how the drm works. Mind you, I don't konw about hd-dvd either.
Topfield should do what they did to FreeView tuners/recorders, and then we'd all buy it. It's unseemly to see these corporations fighting over adoption. The new technology should be adopted strictly on merit.
'Well I suppose it is in so much as they go down a little, but they still remain far higher with the Sony brand.....So we'll have Blu-Ray and everyone cheers. Great. Sony have achieved their plan of wrecking the party and the consumer ultimately loses. It's short sighted. Oh well. Enjoy'
What a load of baloney....
Every manufacturer and his dog including all the sub 50 ukp dodgy supermarket specials will be eventually be on the market....And not a Sony in sight unless you want to go for a top end player and willing to pay extra for the marque
'Blu-ray nah! no thanks, no one is buying into anymore over hype products. When will they learn. People are very happy with current media. Sorry folks will add these to my BETA tapes :-P'
Sorry don't believe you one bit….
So when you DVD player breaks down in a couple of year's time (or maybe it might not even break you'll just be browsing) and you go into you local electronics store and are presented with a Blu-ray player for under 50 ukp you are going to say naaa no thanks…. I'll stick with my vanilla DVD format… and it will be even more perverse decision as you will in all probability also have a HD TV..
Sorry I will say it again….Don't believe you…:-P

Balfour deal off, O's look elsewhere for closer
The Orioles' deal with free-agent right-hander Grant Balfour is off, and their search for a closer continues.
Baltimore will look elsewhere for Jim Johnson's replacement after the club's medical staff "wasn't satisfied" with the 35-year-old Balfour's physical exam this week, Orioles executive vice president of baseball operations Dan Duquette said on a conference call with reporters Friday afternoon.
The Orioles' deal with free-agent right-hander Grant Balfour is off, and their search for a closer continues.
Baltimore will look elsewhere for Jim Johnson's replacement after the club's medical staff "wasn't satisfied" with the 35-year-old Balfour's physical exam this week, Orioles executive vice president of baseball operations Dan Duquette said on a conference call with reporters Friday afternoon.
Balfour and the Orioles had reportedly agreed on a two-year, $15 million contract and expected to make it official at a news conference Friday.
"I guess the good news is we have other options to look at as we continue to try to improve our ballclub. But this is a situation where the deal's not going to come together," Duquette said. "We would never say never or close the door, but we're going to turn our attention elsewhere for now, to look at some other options to try to staff our team and continue to build a contending team for 2014."
Duquette said he couldn't elaborate much on what the deal-breaker was, but The Baltimore Sun cited multiple sources saying the issue was Balfour's surgically repaired right shoulder.
But Balfour and his representatives insist the closer is healthy. Balfour told The San Francisco Chronicle that he's "100 percent fine."
Balfour's agent, Seth Levinson, released a statement Friday evening that said Balfour is "completely healthy" and has been reviewed by two well-respected team physicians: Dr. Koco Eaton of the Rays and Dr. Tim Kremchek of the Reds. Levinson said Kremchek "reviewed the Orioles' medical report and advised that he is remarkably impressed that there has been little change in Grant's arm for almost 10 years.
"Now factor into the equation that Grant was a 2013 All Star, pitched 65 games and another 3 scoreless innings in the post season with a 94-95 mph fastball. The only reasonable conclusion is that Grant is healthy and the Orioles at the last moment changed their minds," Levinson's statement continued. "Grant is an ALL STAR CLOSER who has converted 55 of his last 58 Save Opportunities. Talent wins at the end of the day and if a Club wants to win then they need Grant coming out of the pen in the 9th inning."
Duquette repeated several times that players are subject to a "very, very thorough screening" before they're officially acquired, but also noted that the process is different with each club and each doctor. Baltimore's front office went through its usual preliminary medical review before striking an agreement with Balfour.
Though he didn't completely rule out the possibility of Balfour joining the Orioles on a lesser deal, like the Red Sox did with first baseman Mike Napoli last offseason, Duquette made it pretty clear they're going to evaluate their other options first.
"The Orioles are moving on from this situation," Duquette said. "There was no contract. There was an understanding pending a physical exam."
For the Orioles, moving on means wading back into the closer market. Duquette said the club will consider both trades and free-agent signings, and the latter presents two potential candidates in former Rays closer Fernando Rodney and former Indians closer Chris Perez. The Sun cited a source that said the Orioles will focus first on Rodney, who saved 85 games and posted a 1.91 ERA over the past two years with Tampa Bay.
But Duquette said he wouldn't limit his search to only pitchers who have closed in the past. It's even possible that they could promote an internal candidate to fill the role.
"There's still a few pitchers on the board that could help us and there's a few pitchers that could certainly help our bullpen," he said. "If we get reliable pitchers in our bullpen, I'm sure somebody can close out the game. Two years ago, we were looking for a closer and we found it from the people we had. Who knows, we may do the same thing again this year in 2014."
Duquette reiterated that he'd like to acquire another hitter to bolster the lineup. But he said adding depth to the O's pitching staff is the main priority, and their goal is still to introduce a new starting pitcher and another reliever before the season begins.
"We'd love to do that. That's been on our shopping list since the start of the offseason," Duquette said. "We'd love to be able to check those boxes off."

J"org requested that I post the latest CVS sources. This release should help people get simulavr without needing to use CVS and will perhaps help Klaus and I merge any patches we get against the tarballs.
Please recall that simulavr is still un-maintained.

Due to some email list reported problems that apparently are solved in the latest CVS, I've uploaded the latest tarball.
For what it's worth, if you want to use the latest CVS, please use automake 1.8 or later. Documentation has been added, which precipitated the move(supported only in latest automake). Try it out! ("make pdf" and "make info") Not much there yet, but it is a start.

Simulavrxx has undergone a good amount of development and questions have been coming up around generating the autotools build scripts. One way to work around build issues is to start with a working tarball.
See the download page for the tarball corresponding to CVS tag simulavrxx_0_8_004.
As always, comments and suggestions welcome, patches greatfully requested.
