Nita A. Farahany '04 to join Duke Law faculty
Nita A. Farahany, a scholar at the intersection of law, biosciences, and philosophy, will join the Duke Law faculty as a professor of law this fall. She is a 2004 Duke Law graduate who also received her MA and PhD in philosophy from Duke University.
Farahany is an associate professor of law and associate professor of philosophy at Vanderbilt University; at Duke, she will hold a joint appointment at Duke University's Institute for Genome Sciences & Policy (IGSP). Her research examines the legal, social, and ethical applications of the biosciences, particularly those related to behavioral genetics and neuroscience.
"I use the biosciences as a lens and a tool to understand legal doctrines and normative commitments that we hold in social institutions such as criminal law," said Farahany, whose recent scholarship focuses on criminal procedure and how it may evolve in light of developments in neuroscience and behavioral genetics. "More broadly, I am interested in bioethics and neuroethics."
"Professor Farahany is a dynamic scholar who is working at the leading edge of law, philosophy, and science," said Dean David F. Levi. "As a mark of her extraordinary reach, she is joining both the Law and IGSP faculties. We are delighted to welcome her back to Duke where she was trained and already has many collaborators."
A member of the Presidential Commission for the Study of Bioethical Issues, Farahany teaches classes and seminars relating to criminal law, criminal procedure, and other subjects at the junction of law and science. In the spring 2013 semester she will teach Genetics and Reproductive Technology.
"The IGSP is thrilled to be partnering with the Law School and to have attracted someone with Nita's accomplishments, interests and energy," said IGSP Director Huntington Willard, Duke University's Nanaline H. Duke Professor of Genome Sciences and senior advisor to the vice provost, Office of Undergraduate Education. "She will greatly strengthen our growing efforts to explore issues in the sciences that impact society so deeply."
Farahany's recent works include "Searching Secrets," 160 U. Penn. L. Rev. 1239 (2012) which explores the descriptive potential of intellectual property law as a metaphor to describe current Fourth Amendment search and seizure law and predict how the Fourth Amendment will apply to emerging technology. A companion article, "Incriminating Thoughts," 64 Stanford Law Review 351 (2012) demonstrates through modern neuroscience applications the need to redefine the taxonomy of evidence subject to the privilege against self-incrimination. She also is the editor of The Impact of Behavioral Sciences on Criminal Law (Oxford University Press), a book of essays from experts in science, law, philosophy, and policy.
Farahany received her AB in genetics, cell, and developmental biology at Dartmouth College in 1998. She received dual JD and MA degrees at Duke in 2004 and received her PhD in philosophy in 2006; her dissertation was entitled "Rediscovering Criminal Responsibility through Behavioral Genetics." She obtained an ALM in biology from Harvard University in 2007. Farahany clerked for Judge Judith W. Rogers of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit in 2004-2005, after which she joined the Vanderbilt University faculty as a Vanderbilt Fellow and instructor in law. She became an assistant professor in 2006. In 2011 Farahany taught at Stanford Law School as a visiting associate professor of law and the Leah Kaplan Visiting Professor of Human Rights.
Farahany said she looks forward to continuing her academic career at Duke, where she has maintained close connections with faculty scholars in philosophy and law, such as Professor James Coleman Jr., with whom she first worked as a research assistant during her student days.
"Both when I was a graduate student and now, Duke is at the cutting edge of interdisciplinary research," said Farahany. "Duke enabled me, as a graduate student, to combine my interests in law, philosophy, and the biosciences, which was made possible by the many individuals across campus who share an interest in those fields, and who believe in fostering collaborations across disciplines. The collaborative spirit at Duke has grown even stronger since I graduated. And Duke remains a leader in the social, ethical, and legal implications of the biosciences."
For his part, Coleman is delighted about her faculty appointment.
"It is exciting to have Nita back at Duke," he said. "From her first day at law school, as a summer starter, Nita sought insight into not just the what of law, but also the how and why. In her last year at Duke she hosted a symposium on genetics and criminal law and never looked back. At Vanderbilt, she became one of the most prominent young scholars thinking about the impact of behavioral genetics and neuroscience on criminal law and criminal procedure, an important emerging field in which she is a pioneer. Her creativity is infectious."
Farahany, Coleman, and Neil Vidmar, the Russell Robinson III Professor of Law and Psychology, are planning to build on Farahany's empirical analysis of the use of neuroscience and behavioral genetics in the criminal context with a pilot study of North Carolina prosecutors', judges', and defense attorneys' experiences and attitudes towards neuroscience and behavioral genetics.
"Nita's projects and expertise bring a lot of substance to the Law School," said Vidmar. "She is in a unique position because she understands the science and understands where the science fits into law."

Alumni bursary
If you are a former student of the University of Leeds you may be eligible for a 10% alumni tuition fee bursary.
Who is eligible?
To be eligible you must:1. Have previously studied at the University of Leeds at an undergraduate or postgraduate level, and this includes incoming study abroad students. See below for the small number of previous courses that are not eligible.
2. Be registering for an award leading to a postgraduate qualification (with the exception of the PGCE), see the full list of qualifications
3. Be self-financing for at least part of the cost of your tuition fees. You are deemed to be self-funding if you have support from a friend or relative.
4. Have commenced your studies from September 2016 onwards. The bursary cannot be awarded retrospectively.
The University will review the bursary annually and reserves the right to vary or withdraw this bursary at its sole discretion but changes will not be applied retrospectively.
You must advise the University if at any time (before or after you register on your course) you obtain funding for your tuition fees from sponsors whether this is paid directly to the University or to yourself as a contribution to your tuition fees.
A sponsor is an employer or other industry or business sponsor, government, research council, charity or other third party organisation. If you are found to be in breach of your commitments, in any way not acted in good faith, or not responded fully or accurately to a University request for information, the University is entitled to immediately suspend a bursary. It may also then recover the 10% previously paid.
How much is it worth?
The University will pay 10% of the self-funded portion (the net figure after all other financial awards) of your tuition fees. The bursary will not be applied in the overtime (writing-up) period for research degree students, taught students who are re-sitting examinations or student visitors registering and undertaking miscellaneous study.
The alumni bursary can be awarded in conjunction with other University of Leeds scholarships and awards; the 10% bursary is calculated based on the net fee remaining ie after other scholarship and awards have been deducted.
How to apply
If you think you are eligible you need to email the relevant School or admissions contact for the course you have applied for. If you are a Masters student you can search for these in our Coursefinder. For PhD applicants please contact the relevant Graduate School or Postgraduate Research Secretary
In the email you will need to provide information regarding your former studies, the course you have applied for and how you are funded for your tuition fees. We will need to verify that you are a former student and you will need to confirm that you have read the terms and conditions and are self-financing for your tuition fees. You may be asked to provide evidence of your former University of Leeds award. If your course is of more than one year's duration you will not have to re-apply for the bursary each year.
Who is not eligible?1. Students who are fully funded at any time during their studies by a sponsor, ie have their tuition fees paid for in full by an employer or other industry or business sponsor, government, research council, charity or other third party organisation.
2. Students on courses that are run in conjunction with other universities and where they are joint awards.
- Language Centre Pre-sessional Programmes
- Programmes that are part of professional training or continued professional development (CPD) that are not postgraduate certificates, diplomas or masters qualifications
- Occasional Study Programmes
- English Language Foundation Programmes
- BA, BSc, Masters, research degree or PhD when studied as an intercalating part of a Bachelor of Medicine and Surgery (MBChB) or Bachelor of Dentistry (BChD)
- Jointly awarded degrees (eg MSc Nanotechnology which is jointly awarded with the University of Sheffield)
- Programmes that are part of professional training (that are not postgraduate certificate, diplomas or Masters degrees)
- Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE)
Frequently asked questions
Are alumni of affiliated colleges eligible for the award?
Yes, they are eligible. It is the fact that the applicant has a relevant award from the University of Leeds, not where they studied for the award. The admissions team will be able to verify whether your college is / was an affiliated college of the University of Leeds.
What if I have not yet completed my Masters at Leeds but am applying for a research degree?
The University allows registration onto a research degree if an applicant has completed all the requirements for a Masters degree but has not yet been awarded. This is on the condition that the applicant supplies confirmation of the award at a specific date after commencing their research degree. Applicants in this situation are also eligible to be considered for an Alumni Tuition Fee Bursary.
If my sponsor is paying all of my tuition fees am I still eligible for the Alumni bursary?
No, if an applicants tuition fees are fully-funded by a sponsor, for example the applicant has their tuition fees paid in full by an employer, an industry or business sponsor, government, research council, charity or other third party organisation they are not eligible for the Alumni bursary.
What is the self-funded portion of the tuition fee?
It is the net figure remaining when all other financial awards and third party sponsorship have been deducted from the tuition fee.
Will the Alumni bursary apply for future academic cycles?
The Alumni bursary will be subject to annual review, and can be revised or removed at the Universitys discretion for subsequent academic cycles.
If my course is for more than one year will I have to re-apply for the bursary?
No, if the course is for more than one year applicants will not have to re-apply for the bursary each year. Faculty Finance should send a Form 21 to the Fees Office and the 10% will be applied to the fees each year.
Can I be eligible for the Alumni bursary twice eg if I register for a Masters followed by a research degree?
Yes, applicants can receive the Alumni bursary twice. For each new programme of study the applicant applies for they will need to reapply for the bursary, as different staff will be responsible for processing the admissions for the courses and the onus is on the applicant to provide this information.
What if I leave part way through my studies, will the bursary be repayable?
It has been agreed that the Alumni bursary will not require repaying if the student leaves part way through their studies; it will be assessed pro-rata, to coincide with the procedure for calculating outstanding tuition fees. However, please check this with Student Finance (Fees) when arranging their withdrawal from the course.
Why am I not eligible to receive the bursary if I am sponsored by a third party?
This bursary is aimed at recognising the relationship we have with individual alumni and supporting self-financing students to undertake further study at Leeds.
Browse our Masters scholarship directory to see other scholarships and bursaries that may be available for postgraduate study. Two sports scholarships programmes are also available to support elite athletes as they combine academic and sporting excellence during their time at the University.

Last month, Verizon Wireless changed its privacy policy and now information on everything you have browsed or downloaded onto your smartphone will be gathered and sold to third parties.
While all wireless carriers sell some kind of information on its users, Verizon is the first to publicly acknowledge that it's selling customer information directly to businesses, according to CNN. About two weeks ago, Verizon changed its privacy policy to allow the company to record customer location data and Internet usage, combine it with personal information such as age and gender, aggregate it with other customer data and then sell it on an anonymous basis. (And you were just worried about Apple and Google stalking you.)
Other carriers, such as Sprint, T-Mobile and AT&T compile similar information to help sell ads to subscribers. As CNN notes, this is nothing new:
Selling customer information is an age-old practice that is certainly not exclusive to the wireless industry. Brian Kennish, a former DoubleClick engineer who developed the advertising network's mobile ad server, noted that wireless companies have been sharing users' location data with third parties for more than a decade.
The most interesting thing that we found was that Verizon gives third parties an incredible amount of detail on each customer, which is needed for marketing report demographics, and includes home addresses. While there's no name attached to the address, it's would become obvious with a quick public records search. And with that, you now know where all that junk mail comes from.

skippy brauchte ein neues Logo Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 78 Designs von 37 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
This one is pretty much a slam dunk, as I only want something simple... I am not looking for any outrageous colors or design concepts. I am looking for subtle, with a hint of classy.
This is for a company logo, it is for an furniture/ Design company. The products are high end. This logo must be visable form a distance if it is expanded and put on delivery trucks. The logo will be as small as a business card.
- I want a logo that is a square that has an "antiqued" compass's arrows laid out accross the center of it. The compass needs to present itself as 3 dimensional via 2 toning in colors. I am thinking navy blue and a steel gray blue for the compass. This compass will be key With the compass laid out a grid will be created in the square it is laid over. Upper left, upper right, lower left, and lower right. In the upper left I want a capitol "N" in block lettering, and in the bottom right, a capitol "W" in block lettering. In the upper right I want italic script "design' with maybe a star as the dot over the "I" in design. This could be a cursive script possibly if it looks classy and not overdone. The word Home goes into the bottom left quadrant and it matches the font of "Design" in the upper right. I am thinking for color that the framing square as well as all fonts are in a Mossy green, but possibly two tone green to create depth. Whatever looks best!
I do not want something that in the end looks busy... too many colors, to many lines. I want this logo identifiable, not confusing. I think the winner will be the one that blends the colors I am looking for well together, and keeps it pretty simple. Yet again, a little pizzaz never hurt anyone!!

U.S. Debt: As Long As The World Keeps Loaning Us Money, We Will Not Default
When creditors decide to not play the game, how do we pay back bond holders? Where do we get money to pay them back? We're saying to the world, "As long as the world keeps loaning us money, we won't default."

Pearls Before Swine
'Do not give dogs what is holy; and do not throw your pearls before swine, lest they [the swine] trample them underfoot and [the dogs] turn to attack you' (Matt. 7:6)
The construction of this saying seems to be chiastic. It is the swine that will trample the pearls beneath their feet and the dogs that will turn and bite the hand that fed them, even if it fed them with 'holy' flesh.
The general sense of the saying is clear: objects of value, special privileges, participation in sacred things should not be offered to those who are incapable of appreciating them. Pearls are things of beauty and value to many people - Jesus himself in one of his parables compared the kingdom of God to a'pearl of great price' (Matt. 13:45-46) - but pigs will despise them because they cannot eat them. Holy flesh - the flesh of sacrificial animals - has a religious value over and above its nutritive value for worshippers who share in a 'peace offering', but pariah dogs will make no difference between it and scraps of offal for which they battle in the street; they will not feel specially grateful to anyone who gives it to them.
But has the saying a more specific application? One could imagine its being quoted by some more restrictive brethren in the Jerusalem church as an argument against presenting the gospel to Gentiles, certainly against receiving them into full Christian fellowship. At a slightly later date it was used as an argument against admitting unbelievers to the Lord's Supper:
thus the Didache (Teaching of the Twelve Apostles), a manual of Syrian Christianity dated around a.d. 100, says: 'Let none eat or drink of your Eucharist except those who have been baptised in the name of the Lord. It was concerning this that the Lord said, "Do not give dogs what is holy."'1
It would be anachronistic to read this interpretation back into the ministry of Jesus. It is better to read the saying in the context given it by Matthew (the only Gospel-writer to report it). It comes immediately after the injunction, 'Judge not, that you be not judged' (Matt. 7:1), with two amplifications of that injunction: you will be judged by the standard you apply in the judgment of others (7:2); and you should not try to remove a speck of sawdust from someone else's eye when you have a whole plank in your own (7:3-5). Then comes this saying, which is a further amplification of the principle, or rather a corrective of it: you must not sit in judgment on others and pass censorious sentences on them, but you ought to exercise discrimination. Judgment is an ambiguous word, in English as in Greek: it may mean sitting in judgment on people (or even condemning them), or it may mean exercising a proper discrimination. In the former sense judgment is deprecated; in the latter sense it is recommended. Jesus himself knew that it was useless to impart his message to some people: he had no answer for Herod Antipas when Herod 'questioned him at some length' (Luke 23:9).
With this saying the paragraph on judging in the Sermon on the Mount is concluded; the next paragraph, with its encouragement to ask, seek and knock, turns to another subject.

This is sometimes the same way in which authors and writers do in order to bring about both sides or arguments in discussions or about some issues affecting the Church as a whole. Abbot +Gregori and our Metropolitan Archbishop do this from time to time. What part of celibacy does one not understand?
However, it has come to our attention that un-named individual(s) think it wise and not harmful to start attacking by taking copyrighted materials to use in their own web site without permission, per se: as for an example, the subjects pertaining to "Homosexuals" and "Homosexuality in the Church," etc. for the purpose of advancing their own causes to start their attacking of other(s) which is not bound in and with the Church, but with a personal agenda of self-image because of anger, hate, fear and worse. They are Roman in attitude and practice, but not Orthodox, although calling themselves "Orthodox" even "Celtic".
It is understood, according to information and belief, that three of his/her/their websites may have been closed by former service providers due to complaints against him/them for internet terrorism, spewing "hate" and causing for an individual whom he/they discuss, to be exposed to potential physical harm which happened in the early part of the 2005 when they thought themselves wise in their own conceit, for things of more than 13 years in the past. What part of "Hate" - "Exposing another to threats of losing life" - "Internet Terrorism" does he/they not understand? Now, under other domain names, the same/similar hate messages re-occur against the same individual.
We find them to be un-orthodox and un-Christian in spirit and truth for they continue to argue things of the past that is not a part of the Life and Teachings of Jesus Christ, and (in fact) go against the very commandments of Jesus Christ! And those who do such are, it is opined upon investigation and in most instances, the very one(s) who had been or are under ban as excommunicated individuals posing as duly ordained clergy who had been a part of this jurisdiction (and so many numerous others) in times past.
Apostle1.com's NOTE: A few have sent inquiries as to why we post information and/or articles relating to what might be considered as political and sometimes from other Protestants . And the reply is much the same as it states on the entry page.... We Are:
A Non-Profit Religious Hosting Service
an Educational, News, Informational and Research Web Site dedicated to providing such as befits those who seek things pertinent to the Orthodox Catholic Christian Faith and life for various
Traditional Orthodox Jurisdictions
While the answer and question above is not sufficient for some to understand, we take the view (which we believe is ORTHODOX) that all things pertinent to life and living affects, and has an effect, upon not just our belief (Orthodox), but (for many) the way in which we act in accordance with our belief, our very faith.
Because this is a highly Protestant Country in which we live, having an effect upon the laws of the land, we should know something of what is on-going and where efforts by those denominations may affect and have a intrinsic effect on our very laws, for such does have an effect upon our daily lives as Orthodox Catholic Christians.
If one is not cognizant of the real events happening both locally and in the world, although many are removed from the world... one will not know what to expect or what to do, or how one can or cannot act which might betray one's faith and accrue the wrath of civil authorities as laws change. Yet, we are also reminded that these things must happen and it was for that which there exists many early Christian Martyrs and Saints.
While we can remove ourselves from the world, we still live in it. And for the faithful, theirs is a struggle for knowledge and understanding. All things are pertinent to the Orthodox Catholic Christian Faith which is the very foundation of Christianity. As such, we can not abandon them and leave them blind to events and happenings.
What we post as related to those things similar to various articles which might have a political theme or non-Orthodox Catholic Christian content, of sorts, does not mean or imply that we are supportive of, or against something articulated in an article, so much as it is NEWS and our faithful should be made aware, for such may be the very thing that will impact their day-to-day life.
Remember, not all Protestants, especially hard core cultic groups such as "Charismatic" - "Evangelical" and other people are not so generous in their viciousness toward anyone and anything that appears "Catholic" whether of the Roman or Orthodox jurisdictions, for they do not know or want to learn that which makes them "different" in their walk and talk as being far from the roots of Christianity.
Remember, it is the Roman jurisdiction which has more outwardly shown that it can be one of the most vicious toward those who are not Roman but are very much "Catholic" - for the sun and moon does not rise and set on the Vatican (Latin or Roman) jurisdiction as to who is or is not "Catholic" for the Roman jurisdiction split (schismed) from the roots of "Catholicism" which is founded in what is termed and called today as "Orthodoxy".
Any good article or piece of information will be considered so long as it is not defamatory or slanderous toward an individual when not based on TRUTH or FACT, or which is altered out of context from its original publishing by recognized sources.

A Curse or a Blessing? Depending on to whom it may...
Yes, our Metropolitan Archbishop, +Joseph Thaddeus, SSJt., Ph.D. strongly defends the Seals of the Confessional for such leads to true Repentance in thought, word and deed whereby the penitent is required to make amends, where possible, to seek forgiveness of those harmed by his actions whether real or imagined, and to give his forgiveness to those who have harmed him before taking the Holy Body and Blood in the Eucharist, Jesus the Christ. The reality of this understanding is bound up in and with the findings for which cause he, himself, had been character assassinated by his detractors who claim the courts prevented him from breaking the Seals of the Confessional which is not the truth at all.... Click here to see what another bishop's findings are...
The workings of Holy Spirit will not be daunted by those who attempt to cause disruption! It is for these and other reasons that you are urged to read what true repentance and forgiveness means for real "Christians".
"It would be better to have ten (10) true repentant X-felons who ask for and give true forgiveness than it would be to have one (1) non-x-felon or common person whose self-righteousness exceeds even the Pharisees, Sadducees, the gossip mongers, slanderers and un-repentant; for the repentant x-felon understands the true meaning of the Church's purpose as being the spiritual hospital."

Yes... "Prejudice Makes Prisoners of the Hated and the Hater..." (1992-Fr. Alan Stanford)
One can ask, "What part of 'Prejudice' and 'hate' do you not understand? Are you a complacent person? In light of the saying, examine yourself! You may be surprised if you are honest with yourself for your soul may convict you before Jesus Christ convicts you in the times to come!
tested by some trial you should try to find out not why or through whom it came,
but only how to endure it gratefully, without distress or rancor."

When we were in Italy (just a couple of weeks ago for our honeymoon!), we dedicated a large part of our trip to consuming great amounts of pasta. Fresh homemade pasta was by far our favorite.
For Mike's Birthday, we wanted to share some of our Italian favorites with our friends. So, we hosted a Tuscan Pasta Dinner Party last weekend.
Menu :
Rustic Holiday Table Setting
We started the night with two fresh hors d'oeuvres : Grilled Shrimp with Pesto & Cherry Tomato & Green Olive Bruschetta. I prepared grilled italian bread with olive oil to be used with both the shrimp and tomato toppings. We put out our special olive oil we brought back from Tuscany to drizzle over the toasts. I served them on a rustic cutting board on my kitchen counter... after all, Tuscan entertaining is very casual. The recipes for Grilled Shrimp with Pesto & Tomatoes and Olive Bruschettas here.
This is the perfect winter's night dinner. It is filling and simple and the truffles make it really special. With just a few ingredients, pasta, olive oil, cream & white truffles - it is perfect for entertaining, too.
We became big fans of the Tuscan specialty, Pappardelle al Cinghiale, wild boar braised in red wine and tomatoes served with wide, flat egg noodles. It is another warm-you-to-the-bones great winter dinner. Oh, and if you don't want to make homemade pasta, you can find some great authentic alternatives at most grocery stores - even fettucine will work, but for a special occasion, I recommend the real thing.
Pears poached in wine, orange and spices is the perfect light dessert after a two pasta dinner. It is very simple to make, and as a bonus, it makes the house smell fabulous as it sits on the stove.
For the table setting, I didn't want it to be 'fancy', but more of a cozy, casual dinner... but it was still Mike's Birthday, so I made it a little special... using 'masculine' touches and colors. I used our Everyday White Plates from William-Sonoma, and brown ticking striped napkins tied with olive green satin ribbon. For the centerpiece, I used lots of candles, sprigs of greenery (snipped from our tree!), and pine cones.

Sean Tonner: What happens at his Denver reception, stays at his Denver reception
Sean Tonner accepted plenty of well-wishes Tuesday as Republicans — and a Democrat or two — turned out for a reception in honor of his new business venture.
Tonner's firm, Phase Line Strategies, has merged with R&R Partners, the firm that came up with the famed "What happens here, stays here," slogan for Las Vegas.
"A great evening," Tonner said. "There were already about 40 people there when I walked in."

Swamp Ass, LLC brauchte ein neues Website Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 76 Designs von 22 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
Swamp Ass Powder, while the name leads to an initial reaction of LOL's, our product works. It's an anti-chafing, odor and sweat absorbing, all natural body powder. It's scent free, so our initial target market is hunters because they need scent free products, but we want to appeal to anyone that wants a sweat and odor absorbing powder, but doesn't want to smell like baby powder.
Typically men (only because they admit they sweat), but really any one that sweats.
I hate to use the cliched web 2.0, but I'm lacking for better terminology. The completed design needs to be given to us in a layered psd. Fonts, stock images, etc need to be included. We do have a styled logo, but we are open to creativity to match or enhance your design. Simple, elegant, effective is how we would like to describe your design.
Our tagline is "Keep the swamp in the woods and out of your pants"
We are a company that is aware of our fun side but at the same time
we want to sell product.
We would like our logo incorporated into the header along with our tagline ("Keep the swamp in the woods and out of your pants". Color scheme should match our existing logo, unless you feel the need to change the logo. Directly below the header, a horizontal menu consisting of Home, About, Compare, Fan Page, FAQ, Contact, Buy. The third "row" should will have a large main content area on the left, and on the right a Buy Now box with our bottle image and "Buy Now" button. The Footer should consist of links to: Become an Affiliate, Wholesale, Privacy Policy, Press and Media, Testimonials. I would like on the very bottom of the website a Follow us on Twitter, and Become a Fan on Facebook area.
Please design for a fixed screen resolution of 1024x768

Professional Community for Car Dealers, Marketing, Advertising and Sales Leaders
What's the most incredible act of customer service you have ever performed for a customer, and did it inspire their undying loyalty? In this story by Peter Shankman, he recounts how after a long travel day he boarded a plane, tired and hungry. As a joke, he tweeted out to Morton's steakhouse to please have a Porterhouse waiting for him at the airport when he landed. Of course he was not expecting any response, but guess what? At the airport Morton's was there, waiting for him with a Porterhouse.
Shoe purveyor Zappos is also well-known for its great customer service. When this blogger's mother was suffering from health issues and related problems with her feet, she had to return some shoes to Zappos and ended up getting into a long conversation with the customer service agent. The customer service person sent a bouquet of flowers to the mother and gave the mother, daughter and sister VIP memberships. The sister vowed to buy every pair of shoes from Zappos from then on.
And there's the famous example of Southwest Airlines holding a plane flight for a grandfather who was flying to Denver to see his three-year old grandchild who had been beaten to death by his daughter's live-in boyfriend, and who was scheduled to be taken off life support that night. When the grandfather arrived at the gate twelve minutes late for his flight he was shocked to find the plane still there. The pilot said, "They can't go anywhere without me and I wasn't going anywhere without you." Cost of delaying flight: who knows and who cares? The knowledge that Southwest did the right thing and the amount of goodwill it created: priceless.
Of course, you don't have to be a restaurant, retailer or an airline to provide outstanding customer service. Opportunities exist every day in your dealership. When was the last time you dealt with an upset customer or noticed that a customer seemed stressed? What did you do? Did you avoid them, get defensive, or did you ask questions so you would understand their concerns, stresses, problems or fears? Then did you go out of your way to provide a service that was above and beyond what was expected?

Thanks everyone for your comments.
Clifford - These are wonderful examples of how dealers can be providing incredible customer service! I think these opportunities surround us, we just aren't paying attention or we lack the initiative to act on the ideas we develop or we're too afraid of what it might do to our bottom line. But you can bet that one bucket of chicken didn't even come close to hurting the bottom line for that fried chicken restaurant, but making you a loyal lifetime customer will definitely help their profits!
Great post. This short story sums up the Holy Grail of achieving customer satisfaction and retention. It does not come from a "program" or cookies in the waiting room. It comes from doing the right thing and doing unto others as you would have done unto your self with gusto and sincerity. If we all did this, we all would all love what we do in our various jobs and retain all our customers..
We have the opportunity to create fans-for-life of non-customers as well. I got pulled over recently for having a tail-light out on my truck. I was parked right across from a local fried chicken place. While the officer was writing me up, an employee came out to my truck carrying an 8-piece bucket, gave it to me and said, "It looked like you were having a rough day. We hope this makes it better."
No more KFC for me, ever -- and I've probably told this story to 25 people already (many more now). So, lately I've been compiling a list of "chicken ideas". My latest? Umbrellas. I drive past 8-10 bus stops on my way to work. It rains a lot in SW Michigan (it was raining this morning). I'm ordering umbrellas with the company logo and web address so I can stop and give them out at bus stops on rainy days.

Think about the consideration you show your friends and family (you do of course, right?) and then provide that same consideration to your customers. Great customer service follows naturally. Great post! Thank you!
Great Post! Memorable Customer Service starts with one person that Cares. Thanks for the share.
This blog post captures the essence of what separates companies that drive loyalty with lower pricing and those that drive loyalty with acts of customer service that are remembered for a lifetime. I am a loyal Southwest Airlines, Marriott Hotel, Hertz Rental Car and American Express customer because of experiences i have had with those companies that are similar to those described in this article.

Elevated blood pressure is not associated with accelerated glomerular filtration rate decline in the general non-diabetic middle-aged population
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-05-14)
Although hypertension is a risk factor for end-stage renal disease, this complication develops in only a minority of hypertensive patients. Whether non-malignant hypertension itself is sufficient to cause reduced glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is unclear. We investigated whether elevated blood pressure (BP) was associated with accelerated GFR decline in the general population. The study ...

CRESTVIEW � Woodlawn Baptist Church members now can make online financial contributions with Woodlawn Connect, on woodlawnbaptist.com.
In addition to sending church donations from a debit or credit card, members with an email address can track how much and how often they donate. They also can access the church directory to contact a Sunday school teacher or fellow member.
"They can ... donate to the (church) building fund or any upcoming mission trips," church administrator Pete Wise said. "It also gives them the capability to register online ... for youth events, mission trips and other special events.
"... This is to allow members to donate and interact online,� he said. "We are just trying to keep up with how young people do business."
Although church staffers have been using the service for a year, the online option has just recently become available to members.
Casey Moorman, the church�s financial secretary, has noticed increased use since the service was extended to church members.
"We have seen it steadily grow in the amounts donated," she said.
Woodlawn Connect collected nearly 12 percent of church donations in the first three weeks it was available, Wise said.
The service also has apps for use on smart phones and electronic tablets.

Hello fellow CCers!
You may or may not remember me from previous encounters in various boards across the site. In case you do, you'll be most delighted to know I have returned from a month long self-imposed LEGO hiatus in order to deal with some personal issues as well as to get more creative ideas! I"ll be glad to catch up on what I've missed and impress myself into the Castle community, as well as the LEGO community as a whole, once more.
I guess that's really all I have to say. Just thought I'd let the few who know care, and to let all of you know that I missed you guys terribly.

Arrest made after suspicious devices found at Monaca apartment complex
Bomb squad was called to Spring Run Apartments twice
An arrest has been made in Monaca, where a pipe bomb-like device was found by a child playing outside her home this week.
Robert Tilly, 60, of Monaca, is charged with risking a catastrophe, unlawful possession or manufacturing of weapons of mass destruction and recklessly endangering another person, according to the criminal complaint. He was being held at the Beaver County Jail on Thursday.
The Allegheny County Bomb Squad was called on Monday to the Spring Run Apartments, where the 3-year-old daughter of resident Tony Monac found the explosive while playing outside. On Wednesday, the bomb squad returned to the complex on Marshall Avenue when another suspicious device was discovered. (See Photos)
"Officers discovered this device was located in the trunk of a vehicle. It was removed from the trunk and placed into the Spring Run Complex," said Monaca Police Chief William Petures.
"It was as soon as the kids got out of school. They found it over by the maintenance department, right in front," said resident Africa Genes. "I have two little boys, my nieces and nephews, we're all family down here, and if one of these kids would've found the device, it would've been terrible just as the other day."
According to the police criminal complaint, Tilly gave the device to a maintenance worker and instructed him to throw in a Dumpster. The device was described as "three cardboard tubes containing an unknown amount of a suspected explosive material and connected by a fuse."
Center Township police later stopped a vehicle that was described by the maintenance worker and took Tilly into custody. Tilly lives in an apartment on Pennsylvania Avenue, but he had family living at the Spring Run complex, according to police.
On Monday, Monac's daughter carried the device to him, and residents were evacuated from the apartment building. The 12-inch long device was wrapped in duct tape and was filled with an incendiary substance.
"She brought it in and said, 'Here, daddy, I found this,' and it immediately went outside," Monac said. "She's a 3-year-old little girl. I don't know what to expect, and they can go off at any time, you know? You don't always need a match or a lighter. You just never know."
"My wife's been online today. We won't be here in two weeks. We're going to move. I can't put up with this. Whoever's doing it, if he thinks or she thinks it's a joke, it's not. It's not a joke at all."
Police say there could be more arrests. "I want the people in town to know we are not going to tolerate this. We are committed to this 100 percent and we'll continue to investigate this. We believe there could be other suspects and other people involved," Petures said.

Zimmermann overcomes fever to start home opener
WASHINGTON -- Right-hander Jordan Zimmermann was able to pitch the home opener against the Braves on Friday afternoon. His fever broke about 11 p.m. ET on Thursday, and he told manager Matt Williams that he felt 100 percent better than he felt earlier in the day.
Zimmermann was scheduled to pitch against the Mets on Thursday, but he was a late scratch because of the fever. Tanner Roark pitched instead and won his first game of the season, going six innings and allowing two runs in an 8-2 victory.
The Nationals re-evaluated Zimmermann before the start of Friday's game and declared him good to go.
Zimmermann pitched five strong innings in the Nats' 2-1 loss to the Braves, allowing one run on four hits and striking out nine. The run came courtesy of Evan Gattis' home run in the fifth inning.
"Health-wise, I feel a lot better today than I did yesterday," Zimmermann said. "Yesterday, it was rough. I got some fluids and some rest. I woke up this morning feeling pretty good. I called [Williams], and I was good to go. I was able to go five, and he thought that was enough."

How Drinking Tea Can Help Your Bones
If you are concerned about bone loss, a daily cup of tea might
be just the brew for you.
Several studies have linked caffeine intake to low bone mass, but most of the studies looked at women whose caffeine came primarily from coffee. Although tea has caffeine as well, it also contains chemicals that have a different impact on bones. To learn more, researchers studied more than 1,200 women between the ages of 65 and 76, dividing them into tea drinkers and non-tea drinkers.
Compared with the non-tea drinkers, the tea drinkers had significantly greater bone mass. This finding held up no matter how many cups of tea they drank each day—and regardless of whether they also smoked, used hormone replacement therapy or drank coffee.
Brew yourself a cup of tea and drink it while you read this article!
The researchers wondered whether the better bone mass might have come from adding milk to the tea, so they looked at that, too. It turned out that bone mass was higher in the tea drinkers regardless of whether or not they took their tea with milk. While the researchers aren't sure why caffeinated tea isn't as harmful to bone as coffee, they speculate that the flavonoids in tea may have a protective effect on bone mass.
Keri Gans, RD, a spokesperson for the American Dietetic Association, says that the study's findings should be interpreted as just "one piece of what is undoubtedly a more complex puzzle." Until the issue is studied further, Gans advises, women should stick with what is well known. "Tea won't replace the calcium and vitamin D in dairy," she notes. "A diet rich in low-fat dairy products is what we know to be tried and true for supporting bone health."

1. Introduction
University staff contribute significantly to the success of the university. Colorado law and state personnel rules provide for classified staff compensation. State law further allows the university to manage compensation1 for university staff who are neither faculty nor classified staff and who provide leadership, management, program development and implementation, and support services for the university's administrators, faculty, staff, students, and visitors. Therefore, the university has considerable flexibility in the designation of work, recruitment, and compensation of university staff. The university expects superior performance and productivity from these employees and, thus, needs appropriate ways to compensate initially and then to reward and recognize meritorious performance to assure its ability to compete for and retain the most able professionals. Under state law university staff are "at-will" employees unless an officer or university staff has been awarded a term contract as permitted by state law and authorized by the Board of Regents (board).
As the major component of compensation, salary levels for university staff reflect the university's policy of providing base salaries comparable to those paid by institutions of similar enrollment, organization, and financial support to persons in positions of comparable responsibility. Salary allocations also take into account differences in the scope of responsibilities of university personnel and typical positions of similar title in other institutions. Where relevant, comparisons are made with salaries in government and business.
The university wishes to compensate university staff in a manner that is competitive in the marketplace and that rewards meritorious performance within fiscal limits.
Benefits are covered in Regent Policy 11-F. This section covers direct compensation to university staff by salary.
2. Initial Salaries
- Non-base-building Salary Payments. Initial salaries must be within a range specified at the beginning of the search process. Exceptions are permitted in extraordinary circumstances with appropriate approvals.
- Approval of Initial Salary. The hiring authority recommends initial salaries for university staff consistent with market conditions, education and experience of the individual, and pay of individuals in comparable positions. The president or his/her delegee approves the appointments and recommended initial salaries as stipulated in Regent Policy 2-K, Personnel Authority for Employees Exempt from the State Personnel System.
- Hiring Incentives. On occasion when documented recruitment issues arise, hiring authorities may request approval by the chancellor or president to offer a hiring incentive.2 Such incentives are typically offered to new employees moving from out of state who need to cover unreimburseable moving expenses such as housing down payments. The amount of the hiring incentive is subject to the approval of the chancellor or president as delegated in regent policy, but should be considered in light of budgets and reasonable and customary practices.
- Interim Appointment Salary. Initial salaries for employees serving in an interim capacity will be recommended by the hiring authority consistent with market conditions, education and experience, the person's salary history, comparable positions and approved budget and will be subject to the regular approval process.
An increase or stipend3 for serving in an acting or interim role is not required but may be authorized. Upon completion of service in the acting or interim capacity, the employee's salary will return to the former standard appointment salary including any changes resulting from the annual compensation process.
Employees in interim positions may have the salary associated with their standard appointment (i.e., base salary) adjusted during the annual salary setting process. The additional salary associated with the interim position would then be recalculated and/or added to the adjusted salary for the standard appointment.
3. Annual Performance Rating, Planning, and Evaluation
Annual performance evaluations are a critical component of the annual salary setting process. University staff must be evaluated annually. Under the Colorado Open Records Act, "performance ratings" are public documents. Supporting documents used in the evaluation process and as a justification for the rating are not considered public records.
The underlying justification for the performance rating and any related recommended salary adjustment is the evaluation or assessment and is the result of performance planning and evaluation conducted between supervisor and individuals. Such planning should link individual goals to organizational goals and may include provisions for coaching by the supervisor.
If applicable, the performance plan and evaluation of university staff who supervise other staff, including classified staff, must include a criterion or factor for the completion of annual performance evaluations of supervised employees. This criterion or factor serves to evaluate supervisors on their timely completion of annual performance evaluations for staff in compliance with State law and university policies.
Tenured faculty whose principal appointment (and salary) is as an officer or university staff should be evaluated within the context of the administrative peer group.
4. Salary Adjustments
a. The university administers an annual process for salary adjustments4 that ordinarily are implemented on July 1. As part of the annual salary adjustment process, each campus and system administration will develop an annual salary pool to determine the budget for salary adjustments and a salary plan to allocate that budget. Merit adjustments must be within the annual salary pool.
(1) Annual Salary Pool. The size of the annual salary pool depends on: (a) external decisions, e.g., the general fund appropriation (allocated in the Long Bill), legislatively established caps on tuition rates, and the CCHE allocation formula; (b) university-wide decisions, e.g., general principles for allocation to the campuses developed jointly by the chancellors and the president, subject to board approval; and (c) campus decisions, e.g., campus's goals for salary adjustments based on analysis of the competing demands for resources among campus priorities.
(2) Salary Allocation Plan and Report. Each campus and the system administration shall develop a plan, consistent with this policy, to be followed at every organizational level. The plan must include a merit-driven process to guide individual salary decisions. Annually, each campus and system administration will provide a report to the board on the previous twelve months' implementation of their salary allocation plan.
Details on the implementation of the annual salary process for university staff are provided in the "Compensation Guidelines" distributed to the campuses and system administration each year.
b. Annual Salary Adjustment Categories. There are two general categories of possible annual salary adjustments that are defined, below. Some of these categories are applicable beyond the annual salary adjustment process. Campuses and the university system office have discretion within the salary pool to distribute salary increases within these categories as appropriate. Except as specified below, these adjustments must be within the annual salary pool.
(1) Base Salary Adjustments. The adjustments listed below increase or decrease the base salary.5
- Merit Increase or Decrease. Usually, merit adjustments to base salary ordinarily will be implemented on July 1 and will be allocated from the annual salary pool.
In allocating adjustments from the annual salary pool, methods must be developed to assess an individual's merit in relation to a relevant internal peer group. The assessment must lead to differentiation in recommended salary adjustments, even among a group of meritorious employees. Performance planning and evaluation must be the basis for determining merit adjustments.
- Equity Increase. Equity adjustments to base salary ordinarily will be implemented on July 1 and will be allocated from the annual salary pool. Equity increases are based on internal or external comparisons but are typically used for internal equity purposes. Appropriate reasons for equity increases include comparison of a long-time employee to a new hire, gradual increase in position responsibilities leading to higher level position comparisons, and gender/race salary equity. Equity increases must be appropriately reviewed, approved, and documented through established campus processes.
- Market Increase. Market increases are permissible only if they are awarded in the context of meritorious performance. Market increases must be justified through an appropriate market analysis, periodically or annually, and properly documented. In providing market increases, particular attention should be given to evidence regarding problems of recruitment and retention. Market increases should not result in inequities among employees.
In general, market increases should be part of the annual salary setting process and not conducted during the year. In rare cases, particularly for retention reasons in highly skilled fields, it may be necessary to conduct market analyses outside the annual process. In such cases, if funds are available, particularly from non-state sources, increases may be made outside the annual pool.
- Promotion. Promotions typically include salary changes. The salary change may include an increase to the base salary for employees whose level of responsibility has significantly and permanently increased. Such changes do not necessarily occur during the annual salary setting process. Regardless of whether the promotion occurs within or outside the annual process, these salary changes are not subject to the salary setting pool.
- Decreases Across-the-Board or By Category. Due to budget constraints or fiscal emergencies it may be necessary to conduct across-the-board base salary decreases. Such decreases may occur across all positions for certain personnel groups or by title. Typically, such decreases may be department, job title/group, or campus based and not prescribed across the university. If the board determine it has become necessary to take such action, chancellors and the president must ensure that the process is clearly communicated and administered within legal and administrative parameters.
(2) Building Salary Payments. In general, employees receive base building salary increases for meritorious performance. However, in some circumstances it is appropriate to provide other non-base building salary payments.6 Non-base building salary payments are to be used only in limited circumstances and must be properly approved and documented. The president will establish a policy for approval of criteria for non-base building salary payments. Officers are only eligible for non-base building salary upon approval by the board upon the recommendation of the president. Implementation of these salary payments must be consistent system-wide with regard to taxation, retirement, and other benefits.
- Merit Incentive Pay. Non-base building merit pay is typically paid after the annual performance evaluation process; it is not included in the annual salary setting pool.
Non-base building merit pay, "incentive pay," is allowable only as a result of an employee reaching established performance goals and typically is for employees with highly focused and measurable responsibilities. The goals must have measurable and unambiguous outcomes and directly link the individual's performance to the success of the organization.
Eligibility for incentive pay is often tied to net revenue-generating criteria. Incentive pay is allowed only when the unit budget is sufficient to handle such payments (e.g., significant revenue). Thus, in limited circumstances (e.g., athletic and clinical departments) university staff may be eligible for individual or group programs when such programs are established according to university administrative policy. Results of merit incentive programs must be provided in the campus and system annual salary reports to the board.
- Recognition Awards. Recognition awards are typically not included in the annual salary setting process and may occur throughout the year according to university fiscal rules and administrative policies. Cash recognition awards are paid as lump sum payments. Such payments are not intended as significant compensation but as recognition for outstanding service in a particular area (e.g., customer service) or performance on a specific project or event.
- Project Completion Incentives. Similar to non-base building merit pay, special limited-term project completion incentives are subject to administrative policy. Such incentives occur only for special projects that provide unique opportunities and challenges (e.g., large building projects and information technology implementations) and when it is critical to retain key personnel during the project. These incentives are paid upon completion of established criteria as directed in administrative policy. The criteria may allow for periodic payments as significant project steps are completed and/or upon final project completion. These incentives must be included in system and campus annual salary reports to the board.
c. Delay in Implementation of Annual Salary Adjustments. For fiscal reasons, a chancellor or the president, for system administration may decide to delay the implementation of approved salary adjustments to a date certain beyond July 1; and/or subject to board approval, may implement a mid-year salary-setting process for additional salary adjustments effective January 1. Typically such delays are planned during the annual salary setting process and are included in the system and campus salary plans.
d. Salary Adjustments Outside the Annual Process. Salary increases are typically given on July 1. Salary increases at other times during the year are discouraged except for reasons stated, above. If exceptional instances arise, such as substantial increases in responsibility, promotion, or a bona fide and documented external employment offer, increases may be granted. Increases outside the annual process must be given only in the cases of meritorious performance.
The authority to approve salary increases for campus employees at times other than the annual process is delegated to a chancellor and to the president, for system employees, subject to the provisions of Regent Policy 2.K. Such increases must be included in the system and campus annual salary report.
e. Additional Pay It is recognized that in certain instances additional pay7 is necessary to the mission of the university due to the breadth of the university's instructional and service programs. In limited circumstances employees may be asked to perform additional work integrated with their regular assignment or at a substantially higher level than their current assignment. In some cases the employee cannot be reasonably expected to maintain their current workload within their normal work hours. Additional pay is most appropriate in those cases in which the employee is working on an assignment outside normal duties and schedule. Additional work hours do not count as extra service credit toward retirement; however, such earnings are subject to retirement contributions and deductions as applicable under the appropriate retirement plan.
Additional pay to employees providing services, on an overload basis or outside their normal duties, must be determined by the department head and other appropriate administrative officials and approved according to campus policies and processes. Departments are encouraged to provide release time, when feasible, in lieu of additional pay when an overload assignment is necessary. All recommendations for additional pay must be accompanied by documentation of the nature of the incremental assignment and summary of the employees' current responsibilities.
(1) Extra Work Outside of Regular Duties. Additional pay for extra work outside a full-time university staff's regular duties may be authorized in writing by the employee's supervisor for the following:
- Overload teaching
- Continuing education teaching
- Summer school teaching
- Intersession teaching
- Summer sponsored research, and
- Institutional agreements as per a contract or grant.
University staff that are asked or elect to teach generally shall do so outside their normal work hours. A faculty appointment is needed to document this additional assignment.
Additional salary from appointments involving two or more departments/units requires approval from all departments/units involved. All recommendations must be submitted in advance to permit time for review and approval. In no case should an employee be paid additional salary that was not pre-approved.
(2) Administrative Stipend.8 An officer or university staff who has an administrative appointment, significant workload increase, leadership, supervisory or compensatory duties outside the primary position's scope of responsibilities may qualify for an administrative stipend with written approval by the supervisor and as may be required by the chancellor or president in accordance with Policy 2-K.
(3) Awards. Recognition and achievement awards constitute other forms of additional pay.
f. Supplemental Pay. Housing allowances, automobile allowances, and use of courtesy cars authorized by the president or Board of Regents constitute forms of supplemental pay.
1 Compensation refers to wages and other financial benefits earned from employment.
2 Hiring incentives are lump sum amounts that are paid at the beginning of an appointment.
3 A stipend is a form of additional pay added to annual compensation for duties or services the employee provides outside the primary position's scope of responsibilities. An administrative stipend for an interim or acting appointment is generally computed as not more than 10% of the employee's standard appointment salary.
4 Salary adjustment may be an increase or decrease in salary.
5 Base salary is not subject to annual renewal nor is it contingent upon funding or performance.
6 Non-base building salary payments do not continue from year to year; they are only given within the fiscal year.
7 Additional pay is a non-base building increase to salary authorized when an incremental assignment is necessary to carry out the responsibilities of the university and the employee's normal workload cannot be adjusted to permit the proposed work to be done as part of their regular duties. Administrative stipend, and recognition and achievement awards constitute forms of additional pay.
8 An administrative stipend is a form of additional pay authorized to be added to annual salary, either monthly or as a single amount, for additional duties or services the employee provides outside the primary position's scope of responsibilities. Administrative stipends are time-specific and shall not continue beyond the termination of the additional administrative duties.
The term "officer and exempt professional" was replaced with the term "university staff" effective April 17, 2015.
Former Regent Policy 11-C Deferred Compensation Prohibited adopted 8/22/91 was rescinded and reissued as new Regent Policy 11-D. Deferred Compensation Prohibited on 05/19/09. New Regent Policy 11-C Exempt Professional Salary was adopted 05/19/09. New Policy C replaces and incorporates the provisions of former Regent Policy 11-F.1 Salary Plan for Officers and Exempt Professionals, revised 5/27/03. New Policy C also replaces and incorporates the provisions of former Regent Policy 11-B Performance Rating, Planning, and Evaluation, adopted 11/20/86.

We first fell in love with this wonderfully light and refreshing Italian white at an unlikely restaurant run by a chef transplanted from Rome to a tiny crossroads settlement in the high grasslands of southern Arizona. Er Pastor was the chef's splendid restaurant and the wine was Fontana Candida Frascati, an authentic Roman wine, the chef explained, to go with his authentic Roman cuisine. We liked it especially with his chicken piccata. Happily, the 2011 vintage of this crowd pleaser is available for about $9.
In the bottle, this frascati, made from grapes grown in volcanic soils near Rome and both cold filtered and cold bottled, is a pale straw gold. On the nose it offers light-as-a-zephyr lemon and a hint of grass. On the tongue it is ultra crisp and delightfully flinty, its lemon and clementine flavors as smooth as old silk. At the end of a nice clean finish a dab of ripe pear takes a bow.
In addition to chicken and veal dishes, this frascati will go well with tortellini al fredo, seared and lemoned sea scallops or grilled grouper, mahi mahi or snapper. Its lightness and citrus zing make it a perfect aperitif, as well as a lively party sipper.
