Everything I wanted!
"I needed shoe that would function as something more dressy at certain times, or something more casual at other times. The nude color is super adorable and this shoe will be perfect to wear during the winter time, as the shoe is made of a more durable fabric. My only complaint is that they are a little tight, but I wouldn't want my heel sliding out of them so I am ok with it!"

Another SM Hit
"I have six of the SM Heaven flats in my closet. They wear well and fit perfect. This one is no exception. It's a great summer neutral flat. I love the texture on it, as I'm not a patent flat fan, so I chose this one over the neutral patent that is offered. I'm so glad I did."

The last weeks of pregnancy can take a long time.
Swollen ankles, aching backs and short tempers can make the final days stretch. That baby can't show up fast enough for most moms-to-be.
But getting to 39 weeks does make a difference.
"We've always considered 37 to 42 weeks term," said Tupelo obstetrician Ronny Young. "Babies born before 39 weeks are more likely to end up in intensive care."
North Mississippi Medical Center is among 100 hospitals across the country participating in a March of Dimes initiative to lower the number of babies born too soon by avoiding unnecessary inductions and cesarean deliveries.
"We're not going to force the babies to come early," Young said, unless there's a pressing medical reason threatening the health of the mother or the baby. "If there's medical reason, sometimes, it's safer to get the baby out early."
The new guidelines don't affect moms that go into labor on their own, Young said. Generally, obstetricians won't try to halt contractions after 36 weeks gestation.
However, health advocates want to be clear that parents-to-be shouldn't rush through pregnancy.
"Every week of pregnancy is important to a baby's health," says Dr. Scott Berns, senior vice president and deputy medical director for the March of Dimes.
A lot of the work is educating expectant parents who, during a previous pregnancy, had a scheduled delivery at 38 weeks, with the new best practices, Young said.
"We all have to be willing to change," Young said.
Why 39?
Babies who are born just a little bit early don't face the uphill battles to live like micropreemies, but they are at higher risk for health issues at the time of birth and down the line.
Babies born after 39 weeks tend to be larger and more developed.
Vital organs – particularly the brain and lungs – are still developing in the last few weeks.
In the last six weeks of pregnancy, a baby's brain adds connections needed for balance, coordination, learning and social functioning, according to the March of Dimes. At 35 weeks, the brain is two-thirds the size of the brain at 39 to 40 weeks.
Research has shown that babies born a few weeks early are more likely to be re-hospitalized and to have more breathing problems than full-term infants.
Babies born too soon are too small and can have difficulty maintaining their body temperature.
The March of Dimes Healthy Babies Are Worth the Wait could have a significant impact on Mississippi babies, who already face the nation's highest rates of prematurity and infant mortality.
"Their efforts to help educate moms and OBs about the importance of waiting until your baby is ready to be delivered will be a critical component in improving Mississippi's prematurity rate," said Dina Ray, state director of the March of Dimes Mississippi chapter.
What to do
Not every case of premature birth can be prevented, and in many cases, physicians are never able to pinpoint what caused a woman to deliver early.
However, medical research does point to a number of things women can do to reduce their risk of delivering before 39 weeks, Young said.
Getting early prenatal care is vital, Young said. Health care professionals can identify risk factors before they threaten pregnancies and often develop plans to manage the risks.
"If there are risk factors, a lot of them can be improved by treating them early," he said.
Conditions like gestational diabetes and pregnancy-induced hypertension can usually be managed so they don't become a threat to baby or mom, he said.
Exercise and a healthy diet can be tremendously helpful to the mother and baby's health and well being, too.
Women who smoke should stop. Tobacco use increases the risk for preterm labor.
Any other substance abuse issues need to be addressed to prevent harm to the developing baby, including preterm labor.
Additionally, for women who have previously delivered a preterm baby, certain medications may be helpful.

Jean.Machine unveiled an exciting collaboration with Missoni during the men's AW13 runway show last week in Milan. Jean.Machine's signature styles were re-worked to feature iconic Missoni knit patterns (an amazing alternative to men's colored denim for those who want to side-step obvious trends this year) on details such as pockets. Another favorite, the JM 4 jacket, was redesigned to include a detachable Missoni wool waistcoat on the inside. All styles will be available in early June from the Jean Machine website, Missoni stores worldwide, and other select retail locations.

Strengthening the international legal order: Statement by Uri Rosenthal, Minister for Foreign Affairs of the Netherlands
Statement by
Mr. Uri Rosenthal
Minister for Foreign Affairs
of the Kingdom of the Netherlands
at the General Assembly
New York, 28 September 2012
Strengthening the international legal order
Preserving Peace, protecting freedom, promoting prosperity
Mr President, Secretary-General, Your Excellencies, ladies and gentlemen,
Last month, I visited a refugee camp at the border between Turkey and Syria. I met children, women and men who told me how they had escaped the violence and suffering in their home country. They had fled the bloodshed of a regime which is using indiscriminate violence against its own people. They had fled a country where children are being tortured, women raped and innocent civilians killed. They had lost their friends and family. They had lost their homes. But they had not lost hope for a better future.
One of the people I met near the border was Medya, the 25-year-old mother of a five-year-old girl. She had fled the city of Homs eight months earlier. Now, she travels back and forth between Homs and a refugee camp in Turkey, at great personal danger. She risks her life to report to the world on the situation in Syria. Her reports are broadcast on major international networks.
Medya told me about the terrible events she had witnessed. I was touched by her sorrow and impressed by her determination. Her strong desire for freedom is something we can all relate to. Those who have struggled for freedom do not give it up easily. But it is also clear that these refugees need the support of the international community. They need food, shelter and security. And ultimately, they need an effective United Nations and a strong international legal order.
Strengthening the international legal order
Promoting the international legal order is enshrined in the Constitution of the Netherlands. This is a mission we share with many in this Assembly. Together with 49 other countries we are helping to establish legal order and security in Afghanistan. I want to pay tribute to the Dutch men and women, soldiers and civilians, currently serving there.
The Hague, city of peace and justice, is known for its contribution to the international legal order. It is home to the International Court of Justice and the Permanent Court of Arbitration, both based at the Peace Palace. Next year, we will proudly celebrate its centenary. Former Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali recognized the Netherlands' role in the international legal order by naming The Hague the 'legal capital of the world'.
We need international law to protect people, societies and nations. Or, as former Secretary-General Kofi Annan recently wrote: 'The UN Charter was issued in the name of we the peoples, not we the governments.'
So we need a stronger international legal order.
First, to preserve peace and security.
Second, to protect freedom.
Third, to promote prosperity.
That is the task we face.
Preserving peace
First, a strong international legal order helps to preserve peace and security. To achieve this goal, we need greater unity. I regret the persistent disagreement in the Security Council. It has prevented the United Nations from taking decisive action on Syria. The world needs a strong, united and determined Security Council.
Mediation, arbitration and judicial settlement are indispensable for peaceful settlement of conflicts. We should cherish and develop these tools, as Deputy Secretary-General Jan Eliasson has rightly said.
Better implementation of existing treaties on non-proliferation, arms control and disarmament is of paramount importance. An effective international legal order means that countries are bound by their promises. Iran must completely fulfill its IAEA obligations and abide by the Security Council resolutions. The burden of proof is on Iran. As I said to my Iranian colleague Minister Salehi earlier this week: "You need to convince the world of the peaceful character of your nuclear program.".
The international agendas on nuclear, chemical and conventional weapons must lead to concrete results and new treaties. The UN and the Conference on Disarmament in Geneva need to do better.
The Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons in The Hague this year celebrates its fifteenth anniversary. It should stand ready to assist in addressing the chemical weapons problem in Syria.
The Netherlands will host the next Nuclear Security Summit in 2014 as part of our efforts to enhance security and fight nuclear terrorism.
Negotiations on a robust and effective Arms Trade Treaty should recommence as soon as possible.
Protecting freedom
Second, a stronger legal order promotes freedom. It promotes human rights,
reinforces the responsibility to protect, and helps prevent atrocities.
Greater freedom means equal rights for men and women. Women make up fifty per cent of humanity. And we need the full one hundred per cent of humanity. It is in every country's own interest to make sure that women are actively involved in society, economy, and politics. They must be part of the power structures – as leaders of the world.
Human rights cannot be imposed from the outside. But governments carry the responsibility for observing their international human rights obligations and commitments. So there is a need to communicate about these obligations and commitments constantly.
The role of the Human Rights Council in promoting freedom is crucial. We need to improve the way it functions. Countries that aspire to join the Human Rights Council should be genuinely committed to respecting human rights. I am proud to reiterate our genuine commitment and to announce our candidature for the Human Rights Council from 2015 to 2017.
People should be free to live their lives in peace and security. Every state therefore has an obligation to prevent aggression, genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes. Prevention is key. But if countries cannot or will not act, the international community has a responsibility to protect.
Promoting prosperity
Third, a stronger legal order promotes prosperity and economic growth.
Trade, investment, innovation and economic development all benefit from a stable, predictable and rule-based business climate. The economy cannot thrive in societies where human rights are violated, corruption is rampant and government revenues are wasted. This is one of the lessons of the Arab awakening. Sustainable prosperity and sustainable economic growth depend on a strong, legitimate and reliable legal order.
Free trade agreements and a well-functioning World Trade Organization are crucial for stimulating growth. According to the World Bank, a new global trade deal would increase global welfare tremendously.
A good way to promote foreign direct investment is by enhancing arbitration and conflict resolution mechanisms. The Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague has an increasingly important role to play.
Protecting intellectual property rights effectively will foster innovation. So we should strengthen the World Intellectual Property Organization.
Finally, our Millennium Development Goals need a new agenda. With bold ideas to end poverty. To promote sustainable development. And to foster economic growth. The private sector is crucial to attaining this goal, especially when it comes to unlocking the potential of small and medium-sized enterprises. To quote renowned economist Paul Collier: 'We cannot make poverty history unless the countries of the bottom billion start to grow.'
Reinvigorating the United Nations
The UN is indispensable for this agenda of peace, freedom and prosperity. The widening gap between the increasing expectations we have of the UN on the one hand and the UN's capacity to deliver on the other is a cause for concern. So we do need a more effective, efficient and coherent UN.
The Security Council must act decisively when serious crimes are involved and international peace and security is at stake.
All the UN organizations should deliver as one. The Secretary-General's reform proposals must be implemented.
Emerging powers rightly ask for more influence referring to new political and economic realities. The Security Council should be reformed taking these realities into account. At the same time their larger share in the world economy should be reflected in the relative contributions member states make to the UN budget.
The members of the United Nations need to take action in five areas.
First, countries should respect universal human rights without distinction. This key principle also applies to lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgenders.
Second, the rights of religious minorities should be guaranteed all over the world. Governments should protect religious groups against violence.
Third, countries should recognize the compulsory jurisdiction of the International Court of Justice, as the Secretary-General has requested.
Fourth, countries should adhere to the principle of Responsibility to Protect. This applies to prevention, protection and prosecution.
Fifth, countries should join the International Criminal Court. This will ensure that civilians are protected and the perpetrators of atrocities prosecuted.
This brings me back to Syria. The Syrian crisis also highlights the mounting challenges of the United Nations and its member states. I applaud the active stance the Secretary-General has taken with regard to Syria. OCHA, The World Food Programme, UNHCR and many other organizations provide crucial assistance to victims of the violence.
And I want to pay tribute to the governments of Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan for their invaluable efforts to alleviate the suffering of the thousands of refugees.
In conclusion
For me, meeting Medya, that courageous Syrian journalist and mother, has given a voice to those refugees. I hope that I will meet Medya again in the near future, in Homs, in Syria.
I want to see her live in an inclusive and prosperous Syria, where democracy and human rights have replaced terror and violence.
A Syria where jobs and economic opportunities have replaced poverty and despair.
Medya has already shown the courage and the will to contribute to Syria's future.
Together, we, the peoples of the United Nations, should show the same courage.
Together we must preserve peace, protect freedom and promote prosperity.
Together let us build a stronger international legal order.

"There is plenty of research that addresses the need for a slow and measured approach to implementing a new teacher evaluation system," noted Pfeffer. She cited the Department of Education's own independent researcher hired to analyze its pilot program.
"The learning curve for schools and districts implementing the rigorous teacher practice evaluation instruments required by law is steep in the first two years," concluded Dr. William Firestone of the Rutgers Graduate School of Education in a brief released just last month.
The brief also explains that it is also during this initial phase that educators assess the fairness of the new system. A belief that teachers and principals will be treated equitably is critical to the success of this endeavor. As Firestone put it, "A teacher must be assured that the observation process is fair and open to learning from the feedback provided through observations."
Department officials have said that the TEACH NJ law, signed last summer, gives them no leeway as it requires a new system be implemented this September. Pfeffer disagreed.
"The truth is, TEACH NJ does allow for flexibility here," she explained; Pfeffer suggested that the state move forward with the use of approved teacher practice instruments and student growth objectives, but applying student growth measures through standardized test scores is another matter.
Pfeffer called student growth percentiles "uncharted waters" and noted that their use "is not required by the TEACH NJ Act."
Many of those members, including Stacy Sherwood, also presented testimony.
Sherwood suggested a "tiered rollout" to "allow districts and teachers an opportunity to learn before assessing them and to implement each of the components with integrity."
As a teacher in Red Bank, which served as one of the pilot districts, Sherwood was a member of the statewide Evaluation Pilot Advisory Committee. She explained that even as a pilot district, Red Bank has not been able fully implement this new system, including the use of student growth objectives.
"If we in Red Bank, who have had two years of concentrated commitment to this process, have not been able to start this important component to the overall picture, why would it seem reasonable to ask other districts that are just beginning the use of a new observation protocol to also have to undertake such a daunting task?" Sherwood asked.
What can you do?
The State Board is expected to adopt the regulations affecting teacher evaluation at its August meeting.
That's why NJEA members are urged to continue to write letters to members of the State Board of Education. If you wish to express your opinion of the proposed regulations, NJEA has prepared instructions on writing to the State Board.

If You're a Hindu, Be a Good Hindu
"The main creed that I like to refer to when I think of Vedanta is as Swami Vivekananda said: 'If you're a Christian, be a good Christian. If you're a Muslim, be a good Muslim. If you're a Hindu, be a good Hindu.'"
This is the comment of 17 year-old Akhil, a young man interviewed as part of a new study released by the Search Institute's Center for Spiritual Development in Childhood and Adolescence. The study is the first report from an ambitious project reaching across cultures, languages, and traditions to understand how today's global youth experience and think about their spiritual growth. Focused on advancing the scientific study of this area of human development, the guiding philosophy of the endeavor is that good science is the key to good practice in fostering the formation and growth of spiritual identity.
I attended a presentation of the study results this week, and walked away with increased curiosity about how young people around the world are shaping their spiritual sense of self and the overall importance of that dimension in their lives. The exploratory findings in the report include data from focus groups, interviews, and surveys with youth ages 12–25 across 17 countries from Cameroon to Syria to the United States. Some intriguing points include:
- When asked "what does it mean to be spiritual?," the most common response among youth in all countries was a belief in God. In Cameroon, 4 percent responded that they don't know or don't think there is a spiritual dimension to life compared to 28 percent in Australia and 10 percent in the U.S.
- Thirty-four percent of youth surveyed indicated they are both religious and spiritual. In focus groups, they talked about the relationships between these two ideas, but their descriptions revealed little consensus. "Spirituality is the search for answers and religion provides the answers" (15-year old female from the UK). "You don't have to be religious to be spiritual, but you have to be spiritual to be religious" (15-year old Canadian male). In Thailand, this question was not included in the survey because there is no distinction between the two words in the language or culture.
- In response to the question "What makes spiritual development easier or harder?" the top response for making it easier was spending time outside or in nature (87%) while the top response for making it harder was experiencing grief, pain, or loss (44%).
- Youth surveyed most often nurture spiritual development alone or by helping others. Top-rated activities include reading books, praying or meditating by oneself, and regularly helping people who are in need. Across all countries, family was the most common source of support for young people in their spiritual growth, followed by friends.
A panel of international advisors followed the presentation, providing additional context to the findings. Lori Noguchi of the Chinese-based Badi Foundation commented that there is a remarkable desire among youth in China to explore questions of spirituality when given the opportunity. In Chinese education, there is a strong moral component, but it is often scripted and doesn't match with young people's reality — and that creates a crisis for many around spiritual development.
Kelly Dean Schwartz, a Canadian social psychologist, remarked that areas of spiritual development that need much more attention include the role of doubt in adolescent spirituality, the role of arts, media, and technology, and the role of sexuality. He oversaw a focus group of Canadian youth for the study. When he stopped filming the group and tried to take their discussion to a deeper level, that's when participants opened up more and expressed a connection between sexuality and spiritual development in their lives.
A program on this topic is on our long list. If you have any thoughts or suggestions, please share.

The Indians are moving about an hour and a half northwest to Zebulon, ending a love affair that's gone on since 1987. The K-Tribe were eliminated in the first round of the Carolina League playoffs last year and last took home the circuit's crown in 2006. A title this year would be a lovely parting gift for Kinston fans. Should the baseball gods smile upon another squad instead, the Indians front office has still stocked the schedule with promotions from Kentucky Derby Night to Ladies night.
Here's a look at what else is happening in the Carolina League in the new season.
Frederick Keys
MLB parent club: Baltimore Orioles
2010 results: 72-68; first-half division winners
2011 manager: Orlando Gomez (second season)
Just before the start of the season, Frederick announced a new club mascot, Frank Key, named after the man who wrote that old baseball standard, "The Star-Spangled Banner." ... Dan Klein, whom the Orioles grabbed with the 85th overall pick in last year's Draft, could work his way up to Class A Advanced at some point late in his first full season as a pro. ... If he does, Klein will join a pitching staff that will likely include Nathan Moreau, who tossed a no-hitter in his Carolina League debut but was inconsistent over 10 Class A Advanced starts last year. ... Manager Orlando Gomez is back after leading the Keys to a division title in his first season at the helm.
Kinston Indians
MLB parent club: Cleveland Indians
2010 results: 73-67
2011 manager: Aaron Holbert (second season)
In addition to the aforementioned promotions and the farewell campaign, the Kinston club can be proud to have a few of Cleveland's most highly rated prospects suit up with the K-Tribe this season. ... Drew Pomeranz, Cleveland's first-round pick from last year, is set to start his first pro season in the Carolina League, and he may even quickly advance to Double-A if he pitches well in his first few starts. ... Jason Knapp, whose upper-90s fastball helped him strikeout 123 over 97 innings in 2009, is back at the top of his game after missing much of 2010 with biceps tendonitis. ... Outfielder Bo Greenwell is likely to start the season back in Kinston after batting .292 with the club in the second half of the summer last year.
Lynchburg Hillcats
MLB parent club: Atlanta Braves
2010 results: 61-77
2011 manager: Luis Salazar (first season)
The Hillcats welcome a new parent club in the Braves, and a new manager in Luis Salazar, who lost an eye in a scary Spring Training accident. ... Arodys Vizcaino, one of the Braves' best pitching prospects, will toss some innings for the Hillcats. ... Right-hander Cory Rasmus made eight Class A Advanced starts last year and stands to return to the Carolina League for the beginning of the season. ... It's possible Cory Harrilchak who spent half of last year in the Carolina League and then was an Arizona Fall League standout, will see some more at-bats at the level before moving up to Double-A. ... Lynchburg will award one lucky area pop a new toy with its Father's Day Grill Giveaway.
Myrtle Beach Pelicans
MLB parent club: Texas Rangers
2010 results: 58-82
2011 manager: Jason Wood (first season)
The Pelicans -- formerly a Braves affiliate -- also have some changes for the new season. Now fielding Rangers prospects, Myrtle Beach will play under the guidance of first-time manager Jason Wood. Wood, a former big leaguer, was previously a hitting coach in the Texas organization. ... Robbie Erlin, a 20-year-old lefty who went 6-3 with a 2.12 ERA in the Sally League last year, moves up for Opening Day. ... Fellow southpaw Robbie Ross will join Erlin in the rotation. ... Third baseman Mike Olt, a 2010 sandwich pick, brings his formidable bat to the Pelicans lineup by starting his first full season at the Class A Advanced level.
Potomac Nationals
MLB parent club: Washington Nationals
2010 results: 70-69; Second-half division champions; Carolina League champions
2011 manager: Matt LeCroy (first season)
The P-Nats look for their second straight Carolina League title, which would be their third in four years. ... Leading the way will be new manager Matt LeCroy, who managed the Sally League's Hagerstown Suns in each of the last two seasons. ... Sammy Solis, a lefty who was picked up in the second round of last year's Draft, should get up to Potomac when he's ready to start his season following a minor groin injury. ... Outfielder Eury Perez figures to get significant playing time with the P-Nats throughout the summer. ... Cutter Dykstra, who came to the Washington system in the deal that sent Nyjer Morgan to Milwaukee, starts the year as the P-Nats' third baseman. ... Abner Doubleday bobbleheads highlight a July 2nd History of Baseball Night promotion.

MLB parent club: Boston Red Sox
2010 results: 73-65
2011 manager: Bruce Crabbe (first season)
Bruce Crabbe steps into the Salem managerial role after helming the New York-Penn League's Lowell Spinners last year and in 2006. ... He'll benefit from a couple of Boston's top prospects in pitcher Drake Britton and third baseman Kolbrin Vitek. ... A pair of pitchers from last year's Draft -- Brandon Workman and Anthony Ranaudo could be along to help out with the workload later in the season. ... Pete Hissey, who played in a couple of big league Spring Training games, returns to patrol center field in Salem.
Wilmington Blue Rocks
MLB parent club: Kansas City Royals
2010 results: 68-70
2011 manager: Brian Rupp (third season)
The Blue Rocks look for a turnaround; of the league's clubs who remained with the same affiliate this year, they ended 2010 with the worst record. ... Rey Navarro comes back to play shortstop for Wilmington after claiming the Puerto Rican Winter League's Finals MVP award. ... Professional wrestler Jerry Lawler is scheduled to appear at the Blue Rocks' home game on May 21, and Amazing Christopher will perform on June 3.
Winston-Salem Dash
MLB parent club: Chicago White Sox
2010 results: 81-58; Southern Division winner
2011 manager: Julio Vinas (first season)
The Dash dropped the circuit championship series last year but enjoyed offseason, off-the-field glory when VP of baseball operations Ryan Manuel won the Carolina League Executive of the Year award. ... Outfielder Jared Mitchell, who was selected to the AFL's Rising Stars Showcase after missing the regular season while recovering from ankle surgery, brings his mighty bat to Winston-Salem. ... Pitcher Jacob Petricka, a second-rounder from last year's Draft, could crack the Carolina League this season. ... Fellow right-handers Addison Reed and Andre Rienzo are likely to spend a good portion of the year with the Dash.

We have to pack the larger desktops in wood crates for protection, and some crates and frame pallets are heavy (especially for larger or multiple desks) and will require help receiving, or you may request an inside delivery option and installation service (extra charges will apply - contact us for a quote). Typical truck deliveries are door-to-door, or dock-to-dock for commercial. All shipments are insured against damage en route. VERY IMPORTANT: You must report damaged cartons or merchandise immediately at (888) 302-DESK and note on delivery slip BEFORE trucker leaves. Please take photos and email to firstname.lastname@example.com. If shipment is left then please contact them and state that there was damage.

Maple plywood is an incredibly strong, high quality furniture-grade plywood with a revealed edge and a genuine blonde maple face finished with our clear lacquer. Inconsistencies, color changes and figuring in the grain of the veneer and edges are part of the beauty of natural wood and are not considered imperfections. Each desktop is made from a unique sheet of plywood and consequently there will be differences in color and grain from one desk or surface to another. Natural Maple veneer can change color over time, especially when exposed to sunlight, and dry or humid environments can cause changes in the grain in the form of very small splits or textualising. None of the above is considered claimable against the warranty.

Skip to comments.Im Rather Grateful: You go, Dan! [Jonah Goldberg on Memogate & Rather vs. CBS]
Posted on 09/24/2007 1:01:01 AM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet
In 2004, at the height of the Dan Rather Memogate story, I wrote in National Review: Across the media universe the questions pour out: Why is Dan Rather doing this to himself? Why does he drag this out? Why wont he just come clean? Why would he let this happen in the first place? Why is CBS standing by him? Why ... why ... why?
There is only one plausible answer: Ours is a just and decent God.
Well, God has not forsaken us. Dan Rather seems divinely inspired to crash more times than a Kennedy driving home from an office party. The multimillionaire semi-retired newsman is suing for $70 million, $1 million for every year hes been alive since he was five years old. Which is fitting, because thats what he sounds like. The gist of his lawsuit is that CBS used him as a scapegoat in the Memogate story to pacify the White House. The swelled-headed former anchor, who used to brag incessantly about his toughness and independence, also whines in his suit that the network forced him to apologize under duress when no apology from him was warranted, and that the former managing editor of CBS News was not responsible for any such errors.
Indeed, according to Rather and his lawyers, the only mistakes made were by CBS management, which, in its eagerness to appease angry government officials, had the temerity to apologize for passing off fake documents as real ones in a news story intended to sway a presidential election.
Oh, Rather is also crying himself to sleep on his enormous pillow every night over the outrage that CBS refused to send him to cover Hurricane Katrina despite the fact that Mr. Rather is the most experienced reporter in the United States in covering hurricanes.
Rather used to compare his job to a very high trapeze act, frequently with no net. Three years ago, he went splat in the bulls-eye of the center ring. Now, with the circus long since out of town, he all of a sudden wants a net rolled out.
But you know what? I say, You go, Dan!
Frankly, we need this. And by we, I mean a grand coalition of people who delight in watching one of the 20th centurys most pompous gasbags fall from the top of the laughingstock tree and hit every branch on the way down. These are dour times, and if Gunga Dan and Hurricane Dan and Whats-The-Frequency-Kenneth Dan want to trade their Afghan robes, yellow windbreakers and enormous tinfoil hats for some baggy pants, bright-orange wigs and floppy shoes, I say let them. I just hope all of the Dans show up at the courthouse in a teensy-weensy clown car.
But we also need this because Rathers Im mad as hell and Im not going to take it anymore routine will help us get to the bottom of a story that was actually under-covered. CBS News, under Rathers direction, ran with fake documents - or, to be fair, documents so shoddily verified that no unbiased journalist would have run with them. When confronted with the rank incompetence and bad faith of the team he led (the lead producer tried to coordinate with the Kerry campaign), Rather first allowed three of his colleagues to be thrown under the bus, while he took a few more face-saving laps around CBS before he was quietly escorted out the door like the muttering office old-timer whos gone off his feed.
But now hes back like a crazy man who shows up unannounced at the Christmas party smelling like cabbage and old newspapers, wearing a trench coat but no pants. He wants $20 million in compensatory damages and a whopping $50 million in punitive damages. Im no fancy lawyer guy, but last I checked, punitive damages were awarded to send a signal that this must never happen again. So whats the this here? That network news divisions should never again spend weeks selling off their credibility like a fire sale at Wal-Mart, claiming their story was fake but true, only to cave in to reality and admit they made a mistake?
The beauty of this lawsuit, which has most legal observers laughing so hard that their neck veins look like one-pound sausage casings with five pounds of ground chuck in them, is that if it goes to trial (shortly after unicorns file my taxes), CBS will be put in the position of having to prove that the story was bogus, while Rather will be forced to look even more like a grassy-knoll theorist, climbing back to the top of the laughingstock tree. So I say again: You go, Dan! Ill bring the popcorn.
>shortly after unicorns file my taxes
Dan has to be truly nuts. Anyone with half a brain could determine that no typewriter from the 70's could produce such a document - that exactly matches the results of a modern computer using MS Word...
The documents were such obvious fakes that it is absolutely amazing that anyone at all was taken in by them.
But he might have gotten away with it. All the faker had to do was set his computer font to "Courier", which in the 1970s was the most widely used typeface for government coorspondence, and that would have solved the problem.
Dan is a bitter old idiot, isn't he.
Take some of that 70 million and buy a fishing rod Dan, you idiot.
Maybe you'll learn to bait a hook.
Damn, just dated myself.
Ol' Jonah sure knows how to turn a phrase. LOL
I'd love to see Goldberg and Steyn team up to provide expert 'legal' coverage of this Rather/CBS trial IF it ever makes to trial, their ratings would put all the 'Idol', 'Dancing with the Schmucks', and other puerile trash programming in the toilet where they truly belong.
Wrong. It was the "th" superscript after the squadron number that first jumped out at everyone who has ever received a set of orders in the 70's.
I see another tedious Court TV saga involving a baby.
[Why ... why ... why?]
Why Jonah? You have to ask why? Why not ask a pedophile why he does what he does and the simple answer is because it's what they do, have always done and will always do. They will only stop when they are MADE to stop.
What more evidence does one need to unravel the truth about the MSM? They sow the seeds of lies and deception unabated and without consequence because they have no master, no conscience and no accountability to anyone or anything.
Thank God for stupid criminals...
I still want to know the name of the loser law firm that filed the case.
Rather's trying to shine up his legacy. But all he is doing is removing more of the silver plating which had once disguised his "base metal" personality.
"Frankly, we need this. And by we, I mean a grand coalition of people who delight in watching one of the 20th centurys most pompous gasbags fall from the top of the laughingstock tree and hit every branch on the way down"
Quite frankly, this will have me laughing out loud the rest of the day.
This is interesting. Why is Dan Blather bringing this suit now? The left, of which Dan is a part, ordinarily is well coordinated and goal oriented when it comes to these kinds of things. I think Dan's ego is taking precedence over the party line. It will be amusing as to how—or if—the MSM covers this story. Dan's temper tantrum will further undermine whatever shred of credibility the MSM continues to enjoy among those whose only truth is what they want to believe.

Rather gone, CBS relieved of $70 mil.
This could be a twofer.
Ahhhh pure beauty of poetic justice!
He can no longer cope with being treated like a leper at libtard cocktail parties.
As to why he is bringing suit now, my speculation is that he has been making the rounds of the Leftist cocktail parties and having meetings with MoovOn types, and they have been blowing sugar up his a**, inflating his self-righteous anger at having been caught manufacturing the "news" to fit a certain script. His real anger now though is at his former bosses for not closing ranks with him and giving him the "our anchor right or wrong" kind of support he thinks he is entitled to, so he conflates their willingness to cut him loose with some sort nebulous right wing effort to "get him".
Yes, it's all about ego.
I think Dan is out for an easy 15 to 20 million or so plus a little kicker that CBS may shoulder more of the blame for his downfall. He'll probably take the money and build some kind of a shrine in his backyard.
He already knows how to take the hook.
Guppy bites again...
Lots of keepers in this one! LOL!!
Dewey, Cheatum and Howe.
Sometimes I think the "left is coordinated" is more of a fear than a reality.
But I'm seeing a great example of the coordination in a local race here in Virginia.
In a primary, one democrat apparently took to making up stuff about the other democrat — so much so that when he won, a major democrat operative and member of the other campaign wrote what he really thought of the guy, in a diary sarcastically named "Vote for Rex Simmons".
In that diary, the writer, Nate De Petrio (sp?), who is also the Executive Director of a major democratic organization Next Generation Democrats, told his fellow democrats to "vote for Rex", but not provide him ANY other support at all. He said Rex lied, and ran a false negative campaign.
So now in the general election, Rex's republican opponent took Nate's quotes and used them in a TV ad. He included, as you always do with quotes, a citation for where you could FIND the quote.
The blog where they were found, which is also a blog for a major democratic PAC, got really mad about this. But rather than complaining about the democrat writing this stuff, they decided to try to use it against the Republican.
So they started a misinformation campaign about how citing their web site was tantamount to falsely claiming THEY wrote the quotes.
Which was funny at first, seeing a bunch of left-wing blogs rant about being quoted.
But then a funny thing happened. The Washington Post, who otherwise ignores blogs, did a FRONT PAGE story, mostly parroting the liberal blog position, which included misrepresenting the facts. They got 3 "experts" to denounce the use of "anonymous comments" from blogs, when in fact the quotes were neither anonymous, nor from comments. And the experts were all involved in the democratic party, but only one was so identified.
Then major national blogs picked up the story. And it appeared on the Stephen Colbert show.
I expect Keith Olberman will make the Republican one of his "worst people of the week" soon.
So it's been amazing to watch how the left can call on all these resources to make something look wrong, and to make it look like everybody thinks it's wrong.
This is the same bunch who brought us "macaca" last year.
I think you're right.

Free Agent Open Thread
Kent Wilson
June 30 2010 10:28PM
I was going to prepare a Flames primer to free agency, but decided not to re-invent the wheel when I saw Haley had already done an admiral job of things. Make sure to visit M&G for a thorugh overview.
I have to say, this is perhaps the murkiest July 1 for the Flames I've seen since the lock-out. Previously, whether facing many or few obstacles, the obstacles were at least apparently obvious.
Not so this year. The Flames cap room is not only tenuous but also completely muddied by Dawes (buy-out?)
Kotalik (uh...waived for an as-of-right-now unclear purpose) and pending $3M+ contract of Ian White (maybe?). The lackluster free agent pool makes things even less certain - we know the Flames want "offense", but there's no clear method to acquire the requisite players. Big trade on it's way? Almost every Flame worth anything on the trade market has a NTC. And the club doesn't have much in the way of prospects or draft picks to dangle either.
As such, we enter things almost completely blind. There's a chance the coming week will end without any significant changes whatsoever. And probably an equal chance the face of the team may have been altered irrevocably. We can only sit back and watch as things unfold. And hope.
Anyways, Pat, Bob, Myself and Ross Creek will endeavor to keep up with on-the-spot updates and analysis as things come down tomorrow. Feel free to share you comments, questions, fears, hopes, dreams and reactions in the comments.
Larry Brooks is saying Callahan isn't coming here. I'm sad inside.
2.5 for malhotra? REALLY Canucks?
Yeah, that's just after aquiring Ballard @ 4.2 to replace Mitchell.
Is it just me or is Ballard not and upgrade over Mitchell (when he was healthy) and 2.5 not an overpay for Malholtra. I'd take Tanguay at 1.7 over Malholtra @ 2.5 6 days out of 7.
good... I hate the canucks.
June 30 2010, 10:33PM
What would it take to get Mike Riberio here.
That being said does anyone want him here?
Is Rene Bourque not a left winger?
June 30 2010, 10:40PM
I don't know and it depends on what it takes to get him. If you're moving Regehr and/or Langkow to get him...no thanks.
And that's what I would expect to get included so I agree no way.
Whether it be Savard, B.Richards, Weiss, whoever tomorrow should be interested and for Flames supporters sake it better be interesting.
June 30 2010, 11:08PM
If I recall, I believe Bourque prefers the RW, as well. He can definitely play both, though.
June 30 2010, 11:10PM
My hopes and dreams involve Sarich being traded. Also, what would you think of the two remaining LW slots being filled by Tangs and Whitney?
June 30 2010, 11:29PM
I concur both should come relatively cheap as well but Whitney wants a multi-year deal probably at 2.5-3 mill per.
Whitney's from Alberta so could return out west to end his career and Tangs could have a rebirth playing with a pure scorer in Iginla.
Sarich needs to be moved for both though.
What would it take to get Mike Riberio here.
That being said does anyone want him here?
No thanks.
I'm all ears on Jason Spezza or Stephen Weiss or Derek Roy or even Andy McDonald. I've never liked Ribeiro. I'd rather Brad Richards out of the Big D... even Brandon Dubinsky or Marc Savard.
July 01 2010, 12:42AM
Do not want give away king spezza.
Sounds like Andrew Ladd could yet be on the move. I can't believe that... I'd think that after moving Byfuglien that both Ladd & Brouwer would be stayig put.
From McKenzie...
Final tweets for night: Sounds like Ladd on move out of CHI. If he goes to arb, too expensive for CHI. One NHL GM predicts ATL gets him.
From Kypreos...
Long shot Ladd moves to a western team but for what its worth, Van has thrown their hat in the mix and would love to add his size and grit.
From Pierre LeBrun...
Piling on to my colleagues' Andrew Ladd tweets: am told Florida, Atlanta, Vancouver and Calgary among teams interestd in him
July 01 2010, 01:20AM
Screw Nystrom lets go after ladd, if were losing mayers and mcgrattan we need this guy on our team.
@Canucks Suck
I'm all for saying bye to Nystrom if it means saying hello to Ladd... love both, tho.
So apparently Nystrom is testing free agency too - I guess what we do know about the Flames is they need a couple more left wingers. Hagman and Glencross are the only two currently.
Who would blame him. 2010 Flames season is starting to look like a washout. I hope D Sutter proves me wrong bi=ut I don't think so
I can't post a Twitter link to this (I have no direct twitter access at work) but @SportsnetSpec is reporting that there's a podium set up for a Sutter afternoon press conference. Clearly something is up. And if it's already planned- I'm guessing it's a trade.
July 01 2010, 08:33AM
"Source suspects something up in Calgary, where Sutter is clearing cap space. Podium already set up for afternoon presser."
I'm having trouble linking as well, but this is what Arik is referring to, posted about 20 minutes ago by Mark Spector.
Here's a link to a RT of the tweet: http://www.twitter.com/wyshynski/status/17495633689
"The Flames would like to announce they have acquired center Chris Drury..."
And thus Arik cries at work.
July 01 2010, 09:23AM
It's probably Sutter and King announcing Pengrowth no longer has the naming rights for the Dome. :p
I'd suspect trade as well.
i would forgive all of sutters face palming, if he brings in miko koivu.
there are few other things that would make me happier (hockey wise :) )
oh i know. based on the free agency market, who would you want to bring in kent??
If we are dreaming let's dream big. I was on david pagnotta's twitter and he was saying Anaheim is going after Kovalchuk and that is delaying them re-signing Bobby Ryan. I can only dream that they sign Kovalchuk and trade Bobby Ryan. He definitely wouldnt come cheap but is the exact player the flames need in developing a competitive team for years to come.
Rumour has it Savard to Calgary for Regher. Thoughts?
Millard is SportsNet and is basically echoing every fanboy's messageboard wetdream.
Color me unimpressed. Go with the track record, i.e. TSN.
Via Bruce Garrioch...
Marc Savard's agent Larry Kelly says they haven't been approached on any deal to Calgary.
The problem I have with Savard is that he's basically unproven post-concussion. Sure, he had a couple good playoff games, but then he also looked awful at times. Look what the massive concussion did to Bergeron- took him from a 30 goal, 80 point potential guy to a really good checking center.
Concussions can have severe repercussions. I don't want to take a gamble on it with the long contract and NTC.
Well, looks like Biron learned his lesson about waiting until the last minute last season. He's apparently inking for 900k a year for 2 years.
Bergeron- took him from a 30 goal, 80 point potential guy to a really good checking center.
I'm not sure what you're talking about, Bergeron is still a terrific player at both ends of the ice. That includes the offensive end.
Jesus, the obsession with points is just disgusting.
I wonder what they would have to give up to acquire someone like Setogouchi. I dont think SJS can re-sign him.
I'm not arguing that he's a terrific player, I'm arguing that he's not the SAME player. 30 goal, 80 points is a type of player. And while he's still a threat, his hands are gone, he doesn't finish anymore- and that's part of why he was good before the head trauma. Because he's a smart guy he figured out how to play a more possession oriented game, and now he's a different player.
30 goal, 80 points is a type of player
No, it is really not. Two completely different players can arrive at that result based on the context of their icetime.
how to play a more possession oriented game
What the hell does this even mean? "how to play a more possession oriented game?"
Possession drives scoring chances, which drives goals. And of course you'd like to finish your chances better than the average scrub, but that can be a very transient skill.
Possession is everything. It's not something random bit players choose to learn how to do. It's everything.
Okay, fair enough. You can have a guy riding alongside Crosby picking that up on the PP and Crosby assists, but I'm referring to someone who forces 30 goals, 80 points. I should've been clearer.
You can play a possession game all you want- keep the puck make scoring chances, and so on- but if you don't have the hands to finish, the goals aren't going to come.

Alex Tanguay retourne à Calgary. 1 an pour 1,7 million
Well, this could be...interesting. Only a cap hit of 2.5M, so there's more reward than risk if you ask me.
EDIT: I'm a moron, he's a UFA, not a trade return.
How the hell does Dawes not get picked up by anyone? Unbelievable. Is the guy a drug dealer when he's not playing hockey?
I think thats Great news (particularly at that salary level). I can see Tanguay being this years UFA winner for the team that takes him, I find it hard to believe he has declined as much as the stats suggest.
I still dont think it's enough. Savard would go a long way to creating a competitive first line. Who goes if they get Savard? Langkow? Stajan?
I pray to god its Stajan...
How the hell does Dawes not get picked up by anyone? Unbelievable. Is the guy a drug dealer when he's not playing hockey?
That is pretty remarkable. I wonder what they do with them cause when you think about it there simply isnt a spot for him with Tanguay.
Tanguay-Stajan-Iggy Bourque-Langkow-Higgins (he'll resign I think) Glencross-Backlund-Moss x-Sutter-x
Do you put Dawes on the 4th line? That might not be terrible but he wont produce much and isnt a real "checker"
Via Bob McKenzie...
Savard to CGY for Regher is a serious consideration for both teams, but Savard has not yet been asked to waive NTC by BOS. Stay tuned.

Community forum
addresses spring musical
Shorewood - Shorewood Drama is hosting a community forum at 7 p.m. Thursday in the studio theater in the performing arts building at Shorewood High School, 1701 East Capitol Drive, to give parents and community members an opportunity to discuss "Spring Awakening," the spring musical set to hit the stage in May.
The forum, which will feature a panel discussion as well as small group discussions, is designed to give student cast and crew members, parents and area residents the chance to talk openly about many of the difficult issues young people face.
The show is a rock adaptation of Frank Wedekind's 1981 expressionist play "Spring Awakening" that tells the story of challenges faced by 19th-century German teenagers as the grow into adulthood, many of those issues teens still face today. High School Principal Matt Joynt and Shorewood Superintendent Martin Lexmond, as well as all the students participating in the production, will be on hand to answer questions and participate in discussions.
Police Department pursues online fee payment option
River Hills - The River Hills Police Department continues to work on launching an online payment program for the collection of fines.
In an update to the Village Board on March 13, Village Manager Chris Lear said the company the department is considering for providing the service would provide cost-free online and credit card payments for the village. Currently the village pays 2 to 3 percent of purchase fees on credit card payments.
Police Chief Tom Rischmann has said he believes the availability of an online payment option would help to increase collections of fines.
According to a memo, the department's ongoing review of fees and collections also includes consideration of instituting drive check fees, which Lear hopes to have decided in time for 2014 budget discussions, possible fee increases for false alarms and burning permits, for example, and the use of a collections agency, which is not currently being pursued.
The update was informational only, with no action taken by the board.
Village to consider issue of truck traffic on Green Bay Road
River Hills - The village of River Hills plans to more closely examine the issue of heavy truck traffic on Green Bay Road.
Trustee Wendy Walcott raised the issue during the Village Board's March 13 meeting as a matter to be further discussed at a future meeting.
"I see more and more heavy trucks coming up Green Bay, coming down Green Bay," Walcott said. "Many of them seem to be headed toward the trash disposal facility west on Brown Deer Road."
Walcott said the route appears to be used by truck drivers as a shortcut between Good Hope Road and the freeway. She said she would prefer to see them using Teutonia Avenue.
A comprehensive road plan established by the village about three years ago, as required by the state, included the prohibition of tractor trailers on Green Bay Road from Teutonia down to Good Hope, Village President Robert Brunner said.
Brunner suggested the village manager review that plan to see if the measure is still applicable, and bring the issue back to the Village Board as an agenda discussion item.
School Board OK's girls hockey co-op proposal
Mequon - The Mequon-Thiensville School Board on Monday spent nearly an hour discussing and acting on a proposal to have high school female hockey players join an Ozaukee County cooperative.
Staff at Cedarburg High School have been instrumental in establishing the co-op. Ryan Mangan, Mequon-Thiensville athletic director, said there has also been interest from other neighboring districts in being part of the new effort.
Since 2005, Homestead has been in a cooperative arrangement with University School of Milwaukee in River Hills for a varsity girls team.
The agreement likely will be renewed for the 2013-14 school year with the understanding a new, nonvarsity team sanctioned by the Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association, or WIAA, will be established in Cedarburg at the same time. The varsity team could eventually join the co-op as well.
Zero salary increases in MQ-TH collective bargaining agreements
Mequon - Teachers in the Mequon-Thiensville School District will not receive salary increases for the 2011-12 and 2012-13 school years as part of a collective bargaining agreement approved Monday by the School Board.
Documents included in the board packet were signed by School Board President Suzette Urbashich and member Mary Cyrier, as well as Robert Wells and Eric Bauer, president and chief negotiator, respectively, with the Mequon-Thiensville Education Association.
While the two parties reached an impasse during salary discussions, members of the teachers association agreed to waive mediation.
Although Gov. Scott Walker's Act 10 legislation did remove many elements from bargaining discussions, teachers do have the ability to work with administrators and board members on salary adjustments as long as the figure falls within the consumer price index.
Village approves three-year contract with Police Department
River Hills - Police officers will receive a 2 percent pay increase in 2013, under a new three-year contract with the village.
The Village Board approved the contract with the River Hills Police Association at its meeting on March 13, following a closed session discussion.
This year's salary increase will be retroactive to Jan. 1, 2013, with separate salary discussions to be held in 2014 and 2015, Village Manager Chris Lear said.
The contract also provides for an additional $100 in uniform compensation to a maximum of $550 per year, Lear said. The monthly cost of the "opt out" benefit for health insurance will increase slightly, from $400 for a family plan to 50 percent of the monthly premium, or about $700.
Village adopts Tree Commission ordinance
River Hills - River Hills now has an ordinance in place to address the duties of its Tree Commission and other tree-related guidelines.
The Village Board on March 13 approved the ordinance, which Village Manager Chris Lear said is needed, in part, for the village to be able to qualify as a Tree City USA community.
Approval of the ordinance follows the Board's Jan. 16 decision to create and appoint members to the Tree Commission, which has the responsibility of reviewing village efforts to preserve, prune, plant or replant, remove or dispose of trees and shrubs along streets and in parks and other public areas.
Longtime Health Board member commended for service
River Hills - After nearly 18 years of service, Dr. Paula Jones will step down as the River Hills representative to the North Shore Health Department Board.
In a resolution of appreciation for Jones, the Village Board on March 13 acknowledged her service, stating that she faithfully represented River Hills on the board since the village joined with the other member communities in 1995.
Jamie Berg, health officer for the North Shore Health Department, spoke very highly of Jones and her key role on the board, Village Manager Chris Lear said.
Other member communities of the North Shore Health Department include Bayside, Brown Deer, Fox Point, Glendale, Shorewood and Whitefish Bay.
Police provides presence at University School
River Hills - Police officers have recently begun offering their regular presence at University School of Milwaukee.
In his report to the Village Board on March 13, Police Chief Tom Rischmann filled trustees in on the department's role at the school.
Police staff met with University School's safety committee in early January, Rischmann said, to discuss security changes the school is planning to make.
"We can't, as a police department, offer them much more than our presence," Rischmann said. "But to them it's extremely important."
An officer has spent about 15 minutes per day at the school since the effort began, Rischmann said, each time in a different location. He said the department has not committed anything written or oral, describing the act as a "goodwill gesture" that has been well-received at the school.
Board tables review of several policies due to length of meeting
Mequon - Members of the Mequon-Thiensville School Board on Monday decided to hold off on reviewing several board policies because of the length of their regular monthly meeting.
The board had been scheduled to review policies pertaining to how reports of board members' misconduct and censure are handled, the overall authorities of the School Board as a whole and what steps board members should take when requesting information from administrators.
The review of the policies will be placed back on the board agenda in April.
Monday's board meeting went more than five hours, convening just after midnight.
Common Council approves
zone changes for Outpost
Mequon - Following a public hearing, the Mequon Common Council approved zone changes to allow for a grocery store to be built on the corner of Wauwatosa and Mequon Roads.
A 1.75-acre portion of land at 11234 Wauwatosa Road, 7512 W. Mequon Road, and two adjacent properties located east and west of 7512 W. Mequon Road were rezoned from suburban residential to neighborhood commercial to allow for a 16,700-square-foot Outpost Natural Foods Store. The store will operate from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. seven days a week and will ultimately employ 60 people - 24 full time and 36 part-time employees.
Fire requirements
in subdivision amended
Mequon - Officials in Mequon have amended a development agreement for homes constructed within the Uplands Subdivision that is situated along Bonniwell Road.
The city had required that homes within the seven-lot subdivision have fire suppression systems installed at the homeowner's expense. The agreement has been changed to allow for an escrow fund that all property owners would pay into to fund fire protection.
Fire Chief David Bialk was on board with the proposal, citing similar scenarios in other new subdivisions within Mequon.
The Plan Commission voted in favor of the amendment Monday, and the Common Council followed suit Tuesday.
Officials reviewing ordinances
on historic buildings
Mequon - The Mequon Committee of the Whole amended the city code to give groups an opportunity to convert historic buildings into other uses.
The discussion comes after organizers with the Friends of the Jonathan Clark House have discussed converting the dwelling, 13615 N. Cedarburg Road, from a historic building to a museum.
Members of the Plan Commission and Common Council had a first reading of the text amendments at this week's meeting, before the COW approved it. A second and final reading will take place next month.
City code could be amended
to allow for microbreweries
Mequon - The Mequon Committee of the Whole approved language within city code that would allow for microbreweries in narrowly defined circumstances. The discussion comes after a review of wineries.
As proposed, a microbrewery, according to city standards, would require an establishment produce less than 3,500 barrels of beer per year. At least 75 percent of the beer would be sold off site.
A first reading of the language was reviewed this week by members of the Plan Commission and Common Council, before the COW passed the ordinance change Tuesday. Council Member Pam Adams said they should add distilleries to the list, which will be looked at in the future.
A public hearing and final action will be taken next month.
Commissioners OK
Joey Gerard's sign
Mequon - Owners of the Joey Gerard's eatery have been given the authority to retain a second sign that has been mounted outside the business, which anchors the Riversite Center development at 11120 and 11140 N. Cedarburg Road.
The Bartolotta-owned supper club had been given authority to place one large sign outside the development, but mounted a second sign without the proper permit and amendment from city code in place.
Staff in the Mequon Zoning and Planning Department had recommended denying Bartolotta's request for the additional signage, citing a lack of hardship, but commissioners ruled against the recommendation on a 5-1 vote.
General Manager Peter Donahue said the additional signage will be beneficial since it will direct customers where specifically Joey Gerard's is within the development.
Proposed research, development
facility on hold in Mequon
Mequon - Talks of a start-up research and development facility that could potentially employ as many as 50 people are on hold for the immediate future.
Representatives from Major Pharmaceuticals were to have come before the Mequon Plan Commission, but requested to have a review of their building and site plan tabled until a later date.
Major's tentative plans include a two-story, 79,000-square-foot facility within the Mequon Business Park at a space near Executive Drive and Commerce Street.

The Kansas City Chiefs had a busy Monday afternoon.
The team had until 4 p.m. ET to use the franchise tag and did just that by giving it to left tackle Branden Albert, according to a person informed of the transaction. The team also signed wide receiver Dwayne Bowe to a five-year contract extension, per a person informed of that move. And the team announced an extension for punter Dustin Colquitt.
The people informed of Albert's tag and Bowe's extension spoke to USA TODAY Sports on condition of anonymity because the team has yet to announce those moves.
All three players would have hit the free agent market next week.
So that's three key pieces put in place for 2013. No. 4 will be the biggest one — quarterback Alex Smith, who will officially be acquired via trade from the San Francisco 49ers once the league year opens on March 12.
And, oh yeah, the Chiefs have the No. 1 pick in April's NFL draft.
It remains to be seen what Albert's being tagged means for Texas A&M offensive tackle Luke Joeckel, who many prognosticators project as the draft's No 1 selection. Of course, the Chiefs could always slide out of that spot if they find a suitor offering a reasonable package. Albert might also be asked to move to guard, though he's publicly stated he'd prefer to not make that move.
The Chiefs left Albert hanging Monday afternoon. A few minutes before the deadline, he tweeted pictures of an hourglass running out and an alarm clock. Albert didn't find out until after 4 p.m. he'd been tagged.
"Congrats to Bowe and Dustin," he tweeted a few minutes later. "Great players."
FREE AGENCY PREVIEW: AFC North (March 1)
FREE AGENCY PREVIEW: AFC East (Feb. 28)
Bowe, 28, has had some ups and downs in six seasons since the Chiefs drafted him in 2007. There have been questions about his work ethic, but none about his ability when he grabbed 15 touchdowns in 2010. Bowe had only five touchdowns the next season but still managed to catch 81 passes, the second-highest total of his career.
This past season began with a disgruntled Bowe waiting until training camp to sign his franchise tender. He finished the season with only 59 catches for 801 yards and three touchdowns after landing on injured reserve in December.
Bowe is obviously expecting bigger things under new head coach Andy Reid and with Smith at the helm.

The 10 year old All-Star team from Emery just took first place in state and swung their way into the Southwest Pacific Regionals which will be held this year in Beaver beginning on July 27.
The Emery squad will have their first game on July 29. They will play against teams from Guam, Hawaii, Northern, Central and Southern California, Arizona, Nevada and Beaver along with a team from Northern Utah.
Emery won the district meet in Carbon where they 10 runned each of their opponents to earn a spot in the state tournament. Teams at this tournament included Emery, Carbon, Wellington and Helper. At the state tournament they only lost one game against Juab, but then they came back to beat Juab in the championship game by a score of 15-5 to win the state tournament and a berth in the Regionals.
Players on the team are: Tel Gardner, Bowdie Jacobson, Dallan Ward, Zac Jorgensen, Logan Labrum, Logen Ewell, Tristan Deabenderfer, Dalton Jeffs, Jordan Baletka, Jed Kofford, Kobe Faimalo and bat boy Gannon Ward. Coaches include: Jason Ward, John Baletka and Danny Deabenderfer.
The team met at the Orangeville fire station on Monday to celebrate. Team photos were taken and then the team boarded the fire station for a celebration ride around the county.
They ended up in Cleveland where they autographed baseballs to celebrate their state championship.
The team is grateful to their sponsors who have helped make their post season play such a success.

Magician charges clear under Ryan Moore in Friday's Dee StakesPICTURE: Edward Whitaker (racingpost.com/photos)
O'Brien's Magician sparkles in Dee Stakes
Report: Chester, Friday
BetVictor.com Dee Stakes (Group 3) 1m2f, 3yo colts and geldings
AIDAN O'BRIEN, who saddled Ruler Of The World to an impressive success in Thursday's Chester Vase, looks to have another decent Investec Derby contender on his hands in Magician who romped to victory in the Dee Stakes on Friday.
The son of 2001 Epsom hero Galileo was sent off the 13-8 favourite and stormed home under Ryan Moore, slamming 9-4 second-favourite Contributer by four lengths.
Boylesports introduced Magician as a 16-1 chance for the Derby, while Paddy Power went 20-1 (from 33), but were later forced into 14-1. BetVictor clipped him to 16-1 (from 33).
Moore, who partnered Ruler Of The World in the Vase, said of his Dee winner: "He's a nice horse. When you ask him he really quickens well - he's plenty of pace."
Asked to compare the two Chester trial winners, the jockey added: "They are two different types of horses, but they're both good ones."
Kevin Buckley, representing the Coolmore operation, added: "I suppose Ryan was equally impressed with both horses, but he had a nice smile on his face when he came in today.
"He got a good feel for the horse and was impressed when he pushed the button.
Aidan O'Brien: has plenty of contenders for the DerbyPICTURE: Getty Images
"I think on yesterday's evidence and on the pedigree Ruler Of The World is destined for mile-and-a-half races, whereas this fella handled the mile-two there well. He does have a lot of speed on his pedigree."
O'Brien's main Derby contender Battle Of Marengo will run at Leopardstown in Sunday's Derrinstown Stud Derby Trial Stakes.
He is 11-2 second favourite behind Dawn Approach for the Epsom Classic, while Mars, sixth for the Ballydoyle-Coolmoore axis in the 2,000 Guineas, could take on Sir Michael Stoute's leading Derby contender Telescope in Thursday's Betfred Dante Stakes at York.
Mars can be backed at 10-1 for the Derby - the same price as Ruler Of The World - while O'Brien is also responsible for Indian Chief and Foundry, 25-1 chances.
