Today we published a story examining the aftermath of a double-murder case that Ravens star Ray Lewis was charged in back in 2000. His murder charges were ultimately dropped, and he pleaded to a misdemeanor obstruction of justice charge, while two co-defendants were acquitted of murder. But the issue still resonates for Lewis and the families of the two men killed in a brawl outside an Atlanta club. Read the story here.
We spoke today with another aunt of Richard Lollar, one of the men killed in the brawl, as well as former Ravens kicker Matt Stover. Here's what they had to say:
Like Richard Lollar's mother, aunt Cindy Lollar-Owens spoke highly of Richard's skills as a barber. One time, she said, he cut into a man's hair a house, a window, and a person inside the window.
"You have people who want to cut hair, but they're not an artist," like Richard was, Lollar-Owens said.
Since the case in 2000, Lollar-Owens has been one of the most outspoken family members. She says she helped raise Richard and knew him very well. She still resents Lewis.
"He's playing and everyone is getting on with their lives, and we're living with a void in our lives because we don't have our nephew," Lollar-Owens said.
Lewis announced recently that he will retire after the playoffs. The linebacker said he wanted to spend more time with his children, especially Ray Lewis III, who will reportedly start playing football for the University of Miami this year.
"He has the chance to see his son, go to his games," Lollar-Owens said. "We don't have that chance."
For Stover, who played with Lewis for several years, there was no question that Lewis was innocent.
"The world is going to always persecute, but the people around you, what they believe," is what's important, Stover said. "We trust and we believe him."
As Lewis himself and other Ravens have said, Stover believes that the experience changed the player for the better.
"I do think there are certain points in our lives that force us to change," Stover said. "I think this was definitely a pivotal point in Ray Lewis' life. He went from a boy to a man."
Instead of hanging around with people who would drag him down, Lewis began choosing his friends more carefully, Stover said.
When Lewis gave the team the news that he had been charged, Stover said the other players unanimously supported him.
"It was, 'Man, I'm so glad to see you, we love you man,'" Stover recalled. '"Let's move on as a team.'"
Stover also wanted the world to know that Lewis is primarily motivated by his Christian faith, and that he would carry that with him after retiring from the sport.
"Ray wants to use that for His glory," Stover said of Lewis' talents on the field. "Not for his own."

This will be the second-to-last newsletter that will be in its current format.
Starting with the January-February 2010 issue, things are going to change.
It will be in a new 8.5 x 11 format, and the name will change to - "The Ottawa Genealogist. A publication of the Ottawa Branch, Ontario Genealogical Society".
A sample of the new name and format has been passed to the board, and by all accounts, it has been a success.
Included in this issue of the newsletter are "Research at the Archives of Ontario", "Early Residents of Ottawa's Sandy Hill Neighbourhood", and "Memorial No. 2 Carleton County Copy Book".
They have an interesting section at the back of the newsletter under "Departments", especially the "Interesting Web Sites" in which Heather Oakley goes through the websites she has found over the past month or so.
I read her notes every issue to see if there is something I might have missed - and you should do the same. I'm always impressed by what she digs up.
In the "Old-Time Stuff" is a special mention of Stittsville. It is now 101 years old!
In the "Historic Plaques and Monuments" section, they took a picture of the Commissariat Building (1827), the oldest stone building in Ottawa.
It was a storehouse, office, and treasury during the building of the Rideau Canal from 1826-1832.

Mercury at Low Levels Unlikely to Cause Autism
New studies find that vaccines containing low levels of mercury should not cause problems in the central nervous system.
THURSDAY, Feb. 16, 2012 (MedPage Today) — Low-level mercury exposure is unlikely to contribute to autism, although further work will be needed for a definitive conclusion to this controversy, a new British study suggested.
Mercury levels in urine did not differ between children with autism and children without autism (the control group), Barry Wright, MD, of the North Yorkshire and York Primary Care Trust in York, and colleagues reported online in PLoS One.
Exposure to environmental mercury in high doses can be highly toxic, and even lethal.
Certain groups have persistently argued that mercury in thimerosal-containing vaccines also could exert neurotoxic effects on young children, with the result that vaccination rates have fallen and the incidence of measles and mumps has risen.
"This was proposed despite the fact that the mercury compound in vaccines, ethylmercury, cannot easily pass through the blood-brain barrier as methylmercury can and is associated with few central nervous system problems in environmental health research," wrote Wright and colleagues.
Further arguing against the mercury-autism link is the observation that rates of autism have continued to increase even after thimerosal was dropped from vaccines more than a decade ago.
Nonetheless, some researchers have hypothesized that autistic children have an impairment in the ability to excrete mercury, after analysis of hair revealed low concentrations of various heavy metals.
To examine this possibility, the researchers enrolled 54 children with autism spectrum disorders, 121 healthy children attending mainstream schools, 34 who attended special schools for learning disabilities, and 42 siblings of autistic children.
Because some degree of mercury exposure could be expected in children who had amalgam fillings in their teeth, Wright's group adjusted for the number of fillings, which was slightly lower in the autism group.
They also adjusted for urine concentration and body mass, and again, found no difference among the groups of children in urinary excretion of mercury.
Further adjustment for age, sex, and number of fillings once again revealed no differences.
Tests for other heavy metals such as lithium, manganese, and copper also turned up no differences.
The investigators noted that their findings should be interpreted with caution, however, because of the possible effects of a small number of children in the autism and special school groups whose levels were considerably higher.
They also noted that the study population was somewhat small, and that 24-hour urine collections were not done because of difficulties undertaking this in children with difficulties such as autism.
"This study does not lend support for widespread mercury metabolism problems in autism, but given small numbers of outliers it does suggest further research is warranted to better understand whether a subgroup with autism and/or learning disabilities have mercury poisoning or excretion difficulties," they wrote.

American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, April 16, 2013 – A new publication series designed to educate civilians on the specialized needs of military and veteran families in their neighborhoods launched here yesterday.
Charles E. Milam, acting deputy assistant secretary of defense for military community and family policy, spoke at the launch event at the Army-Navy Club for the "How to Help Military and Veteran Families, Before, During and After Deployment" initiative.
"Today, more than two-thirds of our military families live in communities, and in many cases, 20 miles away, [from the installation]," Milam said.
In addition, he said, some military families settle into communities outside their installations for the schools, churches and activities available there.
"In over a decade of deploying service members to active war zones, we've paid careful attention to the changing demographics and impact of these deployments on the well-being of our service members and their families," Milam said. "We have prioritized programs and services that support families and help with overall preparedness and resilience. Our family readiness system is the network of agencies, programs, services and individuals, and the collaboration among them that promotes the readiness and the quality of life service members and families deserve."
The initiative comprises a series of pamphlets on topics such as military and veteran families' needs for higher education, early childhood education, financial assistance and more, Defense Department officials said.
Milam said the series will allow the Defense Department and its partners to connect with a variety of third-party subject-matter experts to reach communities of support.
"The key is being able to approach specific groups with a common interest," he said. "Whether you are a medical professional or a member of a faith-based organization, there is a specific publication that addresses how you can become engaged [with military and veteran families].
The launch event also celebrated the Month of the Military Child and the second anniversary of Joining Forces, an initiative to build public support for military members, veterans and their families, which is championed by First Lady Michelle Obama and Vice President Joe Biden's wife, Dr. Jill Biden.
The publications -- produced in partnership by DOD, the Agriculture Department and a variety of organizations, including the Military Family Research Institute at Purdue University and the National Military Family Association -- will be distributed throughout U.S. communities and are available on the Military OneSource website.
"The program really is definitive Joining Forces -- the idea of a public-private partnership," Navy Capt. Todd Veazie, Joining Forces executive director, said at the program launch. "In 2014, we will no longer be a nation at war. We'll see our families reintegrating. Now, more than ever, we need Joining Forces types of activities exactly like the one you've put together."
Service members will be returning home following the conclusion of the war in Afghanistan, Veazie noted.
"They will need all of America's sectors to support … to reintegrate," he said. [Your program] is a phenomenal resource."
Forming new partnerships and strengthening those that already exist in civilian communities will be key, Milam said.

At the NMU Police Department, we want to keep our campus informed about safety and security needs. Assist us in stopping crime by sharing information that will keep NMU a safe place to live, learn, work and visit: Anonymous Crime Tips.
Helpful hints to prevent theft
To eliminate or reduce the chances of becoming a victim of theft, remember to always lock your bike when you leave it unattended. You can register your bike at the Police Department; we are open 24/7/365. Bicycle registration is also available through your https://mynmu.nmu.edu account, under the Student Services Tab with the link to bicycle registration under Police Department Services. This service is free and only takes a few minutes to complete.
It is important to keep your room, bike and vehicle locked and secure all property at all times to reduce the chance of becoming the victim of a crime. Also do not leave property unattended in classrooms, at the library and at other campus locations.
It is important that you keep a record of your property, make, model, serial numbers, color, value, etc. You can also mark your property with an engraver with your driver's license number and state abbreviation. Most criminals will not take property that is clearly marked and can be identified as stolen because it is easier to get caught, harder to fence or sell. This is your best chance of having your property returned if it is found or recovered from a theft.

We had previously reported that the Sony NEX-5R could be just around the corner, and it appears the rumours are true. The latest compact system camera in the NEX line has just launched, and we've had some time to play with the new model and bring you our first thoughts.
It seems our rumour report wasn't far off the money either. The latest interchangeable lens mirrorless camera has a number of key new features:
First up is the 16-megapixel APS-C sensor. Quality-wise it ought to be the same as its NEX-5N predecessor according to Sony, but the sensor has been adapted to include phase-detection "pixels" at the sensor level, covering 99 areas.
Although phase-detection autofocus won't be possible to the outermost edges of the sensor, the system also utilises contrast-detection autofocus. Cleverly the camera can use a combination of both, as it sees fit, depending on the subject.
As this focus system is faster and more accurate, the NEX-5R includes the same 10 frames per second (10fps) burst mode, but with one crucial difference: it's possible to use continuous autofocus during this burst. However, as the mode is a "Speed Priority" setting the camera won't make exposure adjustments between frames. Should that be key, there is a slower-paced continuous burst mode.
Design-wise the NEX-5R has added a new thumbwheel and a function (Fn) button to the mix. The thumbwheel is shielded to the side so it's difficult to knock it accidentally, while the one-touch movie button has been moved from its former place after complaints about accidental presses with the rear of the thumb knuckle.
We're impressed. The NEX-series has always had a, let's say, "difficult" menu system, and the addition of these quick-to-access controls really helps make quick and easy adjustments.
The tilt-angle, touch-capable LCD screen can now also flip all the way up for self-facing shooting, ideal for self portraits. It has taken big steps forward in the design department.
The Wi-Fi rumour also rings true. The NEX-5R is the first Sony camera to include the ability to connect online but, not only that, it makes use of a brand new Sony app service - PlayMemories.
This online app base will include downloadable apps such as "bracket pro", "remote shutter", "cinematic photo" and many more. Some will be free, but some will cost - though we don't have further details of how much as yet.
The idea sounds interesting, and you'll be able to log in via the Sony Entertainment Network (SEN), but having to fork out extra cash after purchase might hold back some, unless these apps lean towards the budget side.
There's also nothing to stop other manufacturers releasing competitor cameras with pre-loaded modes equivalent to the Sony apps, or via free firmware updates. Indeed, Nikon has already announced its Android-powered Coolpix S800c compact, so is the open platform a safer, more sensible option?
Outside of the service, the Wi-Fi connection can also be used to connect with mobile devices (Android or iOS) or directly to the Web for sharing files to Facebook and other sites. As the 5R has a touchscreen it's nice and easy to type in addresses, and the unique password that the camera produces needs to be entered only the once to sync a device.
Available in black, white or silver, the Sony NEX-5R will be available for £670 and we anticipate an October 2012 release date. We'll be bringing you a full Sony NEX-5R review once we get the camera into our hands again.
However there's still no mention of the NEX-6, which, based on the accuracy of the NEX-5R leak, we expect is just around the corner for a Photokina 2012 launch.
The best compact system camera going; what do you think of Sony's latest CSC?

R.I.P Tyler Rhodes: 17-Year-Old Dies From Fatal Knife Wound After Getting Stabbed During A Fight! (Cell Phone Footage Released By News Media)
"Cellphone video showing a fatal knife fight
between Jah-Lah Vanderhorst, white shirt with red
shorts, and Tyler Rhodes, blue track suit. Dhoruba
Shuaib, blue and white striped shirt, is accused
of of aiding Vanderhorst in the killing
On the morning of April 30, Dhoruba Shuaib took the exam to be an Albany police officer — a test he would pass. Within hours, the 19-year-old was near a basketball court at Hoffman Park in Albany where, prosecutors say, he helped another teen stab to death Tyler Rhodes, a member of the Albany High School track team. Shuaib is not accused of being the stabber. Rather, prosecutors contend he restricted Rhodes' movements, which allowed Jah-Lah Vanderhorst, now 17, to stab Rhodes using a large, black knife. They also allege Vanderhorst handed Shuaib the weapon, then got it back from Shuaib before mortally wounding Rhodes, 17. Testimony began Monday in Shuaib's second-degree murder trial before acting Supreme Court Justice Dan Lamont in Albany. "But for this defendant's actions, Tyler Rhodes would be alive today," Chief Assistant District Attorney David Rossi told jurors in his 12-minute opening statement, as family members of both Rhodes and Shuaib looked on. A witness videotaped the incident using a cellphone camera. The video, taken by 16-year-old Kahree Langston, was shown twice to the jury Monday. It captured what appeared to be Vanderhorst stabbing Rhodes in the chest following a confrontation witnessed by several youths. At times, Langston is heard telling Vanderhorst to stop and, "Put the knife away!" - TimesUnion

Here we go with what can only be described as the beginning of the end. After we view what some will ultimately describe as a surprising eviction (except to those viewing the feeds), we'll commence with the first of three competitions that will crown the final HOH. In exactly one week, we will see who is the winner of season ten of Big Brother!
Don't forget, there will also be what should be an interesting meeting between Dan and Michelle, thanks to his luxury competition win. I'm sure I'm not the only person whose not looking forward to seeing that shrew once again.
After Julie reads the cue cards, we start the show with the reaction to the nominations of Memphis and Jerry. Of course, we do, as we have all season…and every season before this. Dan babbles again about the Renegade Alliance, and how this nomination is to hide the obvious from the other two. Memphis says they did this so that "Dan (can) get Keesha's trust, and Jerry will come to me to go to war with Dan and Keesha. If this all works out, then me and Dan will control this house."
Keesha is seen hugging Dan, and says in the diary room that "it's really nice to not be on the block". Yeah, we know it "sucks" when you're nominated. She's buying into the idea that Dan may prefer her over Memphis.
Jerry also falls hook, line, and sinker (to borrow one of his clichés) to their move. "Dan betraying Memphis for the second time allows me now to go to Memphis to try to make an agreement to go to the final two. I think Dan has a commitment to Keesha to keep her in the game."
Sure enough, Jerry approaches a reclining Memphis and asks him "if he's serious about going all the way". Memphis jumps up and complains to Jerry how Dan keeps pissing him off. Memphis laughs as Jerry walks away, and Memphis talks about how "all their plans are falling into place. It makes you feel confident."
Meanwhile, Keesha is upstairs with Dan, and asks him if Memphis knew he was putting him up. "I told him like real late." He also says that Memphis was a little upset, and Keesha adds that it was a bit awkward after the meeting was over. She thinks that the two of them have a connection that the others don't, and that it's "rare that people actually have each other's backs". Oh, you poor deluded bombshell.
The watch Jerry and Memphis on the spy cam (actually, it clearly looks overdubbed), and Keesha complains how "you've got Jerry putting stuff into everybody's ears". Dan reminds Keesha that the veto competition is really important, and then again repeats it to us in the diary room. Yes, we get it! He does add that if Jerry or Keesha win, they'll be able to influence how it's used.
We move back to Jerry and Memphis, and Jerry says that "all I ask is that I'm not being played for a fool…because she's much too happy right now". Memphis nonchalantly assures him, and again points out that it's all about the POV. "You're my only hope, baby", Jerry strangely shouts.
The Renegades finally meet up in the HOH, and again we see a badly overdubbed spy cam as Dan asks about Jerry's questioning in the kitchen. They all have a good laugh over his constant babbling. "I tell you, it will be a great pleasure if I get to send his ass out the door." Dan again talks about the importance of the veto competition.
After the commercials, everybody but Jerry is sitting outside talking about Dan's trip out of the house. He's then called to the diary room, and he puts on a blindfold to make his way to the helicopter. In the limo and the helicopter, he marvels at various sights. He does admit that he's a bit concerned about meeting up with Michelle, and hopes that the limo and helicopter ride will help calm her down about him.
He finally lands, and we now see her coming in. Dan says that she has no idea who she's meeting, but that somebody from the house selected her. "I think she'd expect any one of the house guests to select her except for me." He hides behind the helicopter, and jumps out to surprise her.
Dan says that she has yet to see the "charming" Dan, and that this may be what could swing her vote. He makes a joke in his prayer, and tells us his plan is to pump her with wine. He tells her that the rest of the house doesn't know about the meeting, and that Jerry is suspicious. She tells us that Dan told her she was picked because he felt bad about her Hawaii trip being taken away. Ok, Michelle, for the last time, it wasn't taken away. You lost the competition. She admits that she doesn't quite believe him, though, but is happy to be at the beach.
He asks her if she hates him, and she asks if everybody knew of the plan. He admits that the other four did know, and that the move also benefited them (but he's not throwing them under the bus). She seems to be buying this. Catholic boy, you're good. He asks her what would happen if it came down to him and Memphis, and Michelle thinks she could sway people his way. We end the segment with shots of them swimming and kayaking. Ugh. (BTW, this trip is taken out of order from the actual show. This trip happened after the veto competition.)
It's now time for the veto competition, and they walk out to see the "Stairway to Veto". They have to walk up steps, and pick a name that matches the two clues on either side of the steps.
Before we begin, we have to hear one more time all the babble about the importance of this competition…although Dan says it's in his best interest to not win. What would be best for him is for Memphis to win "to get some blood on his hands".
They're all pretty even at the beginning, and Keesha brags that she's good at "clues". Memphis and Jerry aren't so sure, and both seem to be struggling. Dan is plugging along, though, and is worried because he can't see how far everybody else is. Once he gets to the top, he realizes that he has to slow down, and purposely starts putting up the same names to indicate to the others that he's not doing well.
Memphis and Keesha are pretty close to each other, but Memphis gets to the final slot first. Dan continues to pretend he's playing, and Memphis finally selects the correct answer to win the veto!
Jerry again says that he has no allies in the game, but he needs Memphis to save him. "Do I trust him to do it? I don't know." Keesha, though, is worried that Memphis won't honor their final two deal.
The Renegades again meet up in the HOH to give their stupid handslap and jump around congratulating themselves. Memphis, though, says that they have to "make an educated decision" about who to evict. Uh oh, Keesha. Dan says they now have to think about who will do better in the final HOH competitions. Again, uh oh, Keesha. They both agree that Jerry will do awful in the endurance competition. Ohnoes, Keesha.
Speaking of Keesha, she shows up at the HOH and immediately asks Memphis if he's going to vote her out. They all have a good laugh at it, and Dan points out that now he has to put her up. "My fate lies in your guys' hands, again." Oh yes, it's funny, Keesha, but will the joke be on you. She does give a second glance, though, when Memphis tells her it's a good thing she hasn't unpacked from the last eviction. Suddenly, the room goes quiet, and Keesha heads downstairs.
We now see Keesha doing her toe nails, and it suddenly comes to her little brain that they are going to evict her. "I don't want to be cut off right now. (It's) way too close." She heads up to the HOH and again asks if she's being evicted. She looks at Memphis and says, "I can tell by the look on your face. You're getting rid of me. I can tell by the way you're acting." Memphis denies it, but she has it figured out. Dan adds "you guys?" to remind Keesha that it's Memphis who chooses the eviction this week, and Keesha wants to be told if that's the case. "Whoever sends me out of here better not think they're getting my vote, that's for damned sure. (They) better not think I'm not going to do anything I can to change their minds in the jury house, too." She leaves, and Dan just says "holy shit".
Wow, I can't believe they're showing this clip! Memphis heads downstairs and asks for a hug, but Keesha refuses. She again asks if he's going to tell her, or at least tell her why, but all Memphis will say is that he's sorry. Memphis heads out to the living room, and Keesha follows him out to confront both of them. "I'm so stupid. I stuck up for both of you! And you're keeping Jerry!" (To see the entire segment, go search on veoh.com.)
Dan attempts to tell Keesha that he had no knowledge of this plan, and that he's upset about it. "This whole time I've been trying to find a way to keep you." Memphis listens as she continues about how she's "always had his back". In the diary room, Memphis admits that this eviction could "be a $500,000 decision". Could he be having second thoughts as he overhears Keesha saying she'd never vote for him?
We now head to the living room, and Julie Chen shows the clip of Jessie dressed as the gorilla. Keesha doesn't seem too amused this time. Ok, she finally cracks a smile. For some reason, Julie notes that she didn't get along with Jessie when he was in the house, so what would she have said to him if she knew he was the gorilla? "I probably wouldn't have been so giddy." Memphis is then asked about his guess of "fruitless exit" in the luxury competition. He knows it was awful.
Dan is then asked about his trip. He says it was awesome, and that being a Midwestern kid it was great to see everything. Finally, Jerry is asked about being on the block for the fourth time. Jerry tries to crack a joke about buying the house. Yeah, it falls flat. Well, Julie laughs.
It's now time for the veto meeting and eviction. Obviously, Memphis decides to take himself off the block. Jerry stands up and babbles his usual stuff about being in the house. Keesha then says that she has nothing to say to Memphis, but wants to say something to a visibly uncomfortable Dan. "I want to thank you so much for being there for me the last couple of days. It's been really rough, and I don't know what I would have done without you. So I want to wish you good luck in this game."
With that said, it's now time for Memphis to evict one of the two. Guess who he chooses? Yes, it's Keesha. She hugs Jerry and Dan, who hands her a message and whispers something in her ear. "Finish it." What does Memphis think of this exchange?
Wow, we see Dan and Memphis arguing as we wait for the interview with Keesha. "You're out of your mind if you think I'm taking you!" Is this a Renegades show, or the real thing? Jerry doesn't say a word.
Keesha is asked by Julie what Dan whispered as she walked out, and she says he confided that he took Michelle on the trip. She says it's "huge", but at least she's smart enough to know that it's for her vote. As for what he handed her, it ended up just saying "hot" on the bottom of a rubber ducky.
Time for a tough question from Julie – well, sort of a tough question. What did Keesha think of Memphis evicting her? "I was shocked" is the obvious answer. "I figured it out last night on my own. Jerry was acting too calm in the house. When Jerry is flustered, he usually shows it. He's not good at hiding his emotions. Jerry was very calm, so I knew that Jerry knew that he was told he was safe." She adds that she's very hurt, because she's always been there for him, and even found votes at one point to save him.
We end, as always, with the goodbye messages. Memphis says that "this is very hard" but apologizes, and says it only makes sense for him. He hopes that she forgives him. Jerry claims that it would be a "surprise" to him if she sees this because it would show that her "alliance wasn't good to the end". Dan puts up a good front about how he tried to save her, and that "it's really hard to see her go".
So it all comes down to the final HOH competition, and the first part is called "A Wing and a Prayer". They're all strapped atop a miniature airplane this is raised a few feet off the ground, and as you may expect the last person standing is the winner. We end the show with a final shot of them, with "turbulence" now added.

Chianti Italy Tourist Information about sights, hotels and vacation accommodations, food and wine for your visit to Chianti, Italy
Chianti, Italy, is the Classico wine region of the province of Tuscany, Italy, located between the "art cities" of Florence to the north and Sienna to the south. Chianti provides an ideal place to stay for visits to these cities and to Lucca and Pisa, as well as for excursions to view the towns, villages, castles and gardens of Tuscany.
On-line since 2001.
Beautiful accommodation is available in the towns and countryside of Chianti. You can expect to rent a comfortable village or rural self-catering apartment accommodation with a private swimming pool for less than the price of a hotel room in a city. In addition, there are rooms with and without breakfast available at wineries and in towns and villages throughout Chianti, Italy.
"Chianti" is the name of the wine region but the wine from Chianti is known as Chianti Classico, to distinguish it from the other Chianti wines that come from areas of Tuscany outside Chianti the region. If you like wine, then one of the great pleasures of a visit to Chianti is to taste wines at the wineries where they are produced as well as to take advantage of the selections available in supermarkets to accompany your meals with an interesting (and inexpensive) bottle of Chianti Classico.
Dining out in Chianti is inexpensive compared with most other tourist destinations in Europe and if you stay in the country or rent an apartment in town, your accommodation will most likely be self-catering. This doesn't mean you have to cook a dinner from the ground up every night. Supermarkets, other speciality food outlets and weekly open air markets offer a very good range of freshly cooked food as well as a large range of cold cuts and cheeses that you can take home for dinner on your own terrace.
The Chianti countryside is famous for its gentle hills and characteristic combination of vineyards, olive groves and forests, dotted with red-tiles farmhouses, mediaeval churches and towers, abbeys, castles and magnificent villas. In addition to great places to stay, Chianti offers a wonderful range of things to do including wine tours, beaches, hot air ballooning, hiking, horseback riding, cycling, shopping, photography and so on and on.

Contrary to recent reports, Steve Jobs is not dead. In an echo chamber like Twitter, the quickest way to get and give information is not always the best way. Or even accurate.
However, with the recent resignation of the Apple man, and certain photos floating around the internet, it wouldn't be hard to believe the accidental tweet from the CBS "What's Trending" feed.
The tweet was quickly removed, but not before the entire Twittersphere went berserk.
The "What's Trending" feed sent out the following retraction:
"Apologies- reports of Steve Job's death completely unconfirmed. Live on."
"Unconfirmed?" Does that mean, he's MAYBE dead? Hopefully not.

Astronomers unite to use Hawaii telescopeUniversity of Hawaiʻi
Nick Kaiser, (808) 956-8580
UH Institute for Astronomy
Astronomers from several major research institutions around the world have signed an agreement with astronomers at the University of Hawaii to make use of a revolutionary new survey telescope on Haleakala on the island of Maui.
The PS1 telescope is expected to discover billions of new stars, galaxies and solar system objects, including potential "killer asteroids" that threaten Earth. It will also produce the most detailed three-dimensional map of the Universe ever made.
Over 30 world-renowned scientists and their graduate students have committed themselves to analyzing the unprecedented flood of data from PS1 over the next three and half years.
"We decided to recruit a number of top astronomers to join us in order to make the best use of this fantastic instrument," said University of Hawaii's Kenneth Chambers who, as project scientist, is responsible for carrying out the PS1 survey.
"We are delighted to have assembled a powerful consortium that includes the prestigious Max Planck Society in Germany, Harvard University, Johns Hopkins University, and the Las Cumbres Observatory in the USA, plus Durham, Edinburgh and Belfast Universities in the United Kingdom," said Rolf Kudritzki, director of UH's Institute for Astronomy.
The consortium will contribute about $10 million to cover the cost of operating the telescope in Hawaii.
"Pan-STARRS is the next critical step in mapping the Universe. Our scientists are eagerly awaiting the first data for a large range of astronomical projects, said Harvard Professor of Cosmology John Huchra.
The PS1 telescope has been developed by astronomers at the University of Hawaii. It is the first stage of the "Panoramic Survey Telescope and Rapid Response System (Pan-STARRS)" project, which is the brainchild of IfA's Nick Kaiser.
The telescope, which has a 71-inch diameter mirror, achieved "first light" in June this year. It is currently undergoing engineering tests and will become fully operational in 2007. It will soon be equipped with the world's largest digital camera, now under construction at the UH Institute for Astronomy's Manoa headquarters under the leadership of John Tonry. The camera will have 1.4 billion pixels--about 300 times as many as a typical commercial digital camera.
The Institute for Astronomy at the University of Hawaii conducts research into galaxies, cosmology, stars, planets, and the sun. Its faculty and staff are also involved in astronomy education, deep space missions, and in the development and management of the observatories on Haleakala and Mauna Kea.
Established in 1907 and fully accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges, the University of Hawaii is the state's sole public system of higher education. The UH System provides an array of undergraduate, graduate, and professional degrees and community programs on 10 campuses and through educational, training, and research centers across the state. UH enrolls more than 50,000 students from Hawaii, the U.S. mainland, and around the world.

Above New Ground
Text: Natasha Stagg
Casey Jane Ellison fills many roles: artist, curator, video editor, comedian, and striking young woman. She founded Aboveground Animation, a series of shorts described as a "roving exhibition platform" back in 2008 and has seen its increasing success since. This is likely because although Ellison slows down for no one, the world is starting to catch up to her brand of art and humor.
This Thursday, she will present twenty short-form animations at the New Museum from the archive. The screening will act as a more inclusive followup to a selection premiered in October through First Look, the New Museum's Digital Project series. And a stronger focus on Ellison's work is absolutely due.
How did you get started with this project?
CASEY JANE ELLISON I began screening Aboveground is 2008 in Chicago. It has toured the US and shown in galleries, most often at Ramiken Crucible in the LES [in New York]. The program features a selection as diverse as the artists—ranging in style, media, and format. The artists are from around the globe and they practice animation independently.
What do you hope to accomplish in this most recent iteration?
CJE This series discusses the boundlessness of animation as a tool and the hopefulness of the viewer who wishes to enter the worlds created by the artists. Sharing this work is important to its sustainability. Online and live presentations are separate but equal in this process. Live, the presentation acts as a narrative to reveal the language of each piece and the conversation they have with each other. The live audience is necessary to the process.
Program starts at 7pm and tickets are $8/$6 for members. For more info, click here, and to view select animations click here.

The audience that filled a large room last month at Sunnyvale's Parkinson's Institute and Clinical Center received an early Christmas present when approximately 25 patients and caregivers gave their first official performance as the pdDance group. The recital was the culmination of more than a year's practice under the tutelage of professional dancer Damara Vita Ganley.
"It was incredibly celebratory," Ganley said. "To be able to share that with family, friends and the general community was very special."
More than 40 institutes and clinics across the country have established the Dance for PD program, founded more than 10 years ago by the New York-based Mark Morris Dance Group in collaboration with the Brooklyn Parkinson Group.
The group's Web site (danceforparkinsons.org) explains the program's basic premise: "Professionally trained dancers are movement experts whose knowledge is useful to persons with PD. Dancers know all about stretching and strengthening muscles, and about balance and rhythm. Dancers know about the power of dance to concentrate mind, body and emotion on movement because they use their thoughts, imagination, eyes, ears and touch to control their bodies every day."
Although she tours both nationally and internationally as a professional dancer with the San Francisco-based Project Bandaloop and the Joe Goode Performance Group, Ganley said her weekly classes at the institute are her favorite activity.
"This is really important to me," she said. "Some folks come in wheelchairs, others shuffling, others bent over – some just exhausted from the effort to tie their shoes. But for that hour and a half, they transform into dancers. They glide and twirl. They create and expand."
Ganley said she was invited to train with the Mark Morris Dance Group to be able to offer services to Parkinson's sufferers – patients in various stages of a disease that reduces the number of brain cells, and subsequently the chemical dopamine, which causes hand tremors, slowing movements, limb stiffness and loss of balance.
It is estimated that more than 1 million people in the United States suffer from Parkinson's Disease. Various studies suggest that the concentration on movements helps patients with the disease and conclude that exercise is essential for neurological diseases.
"Seeing the dancers perform is an incredible experience – inspiring, to say the least," said Jonathan Friedman, development director.
More than the camaraderie and socializing that patients and caregivers experience during dance sessions, a new focus emerges in their lives.
"The PD Dance class has brought me the abundance of fellowship, love and most of all, friendship," said Myrna Hayasi, a 10-year PD patient. "In spite of our various limited physical shortcomings, I see smiling fellow students who inspire me. And I'm very grateful for all the volunteers, sponsors and staff I have met."
Rather than dwelling on the negative effects of Parkinson's – loss of ability to eat or drink without spilling because of tremors, loss of spontaneous movement, loss of balance – dancing becomes the patients' expression of joy and celebration through the movements they can achieve, an exploration in the "abundance of space, rhythm, sound, movement and light," Ganley said – finding abundance in the moment.
"For an hour and a half, folks who have Parkinson's shed their limitations and experiment, express and expand their bodies, minds and hearts through dance," she said.
"I feel an abundance of gratitude for my husband, John," said Monica Cox, diagnosed with possible Parkinson's two years ago. "Before PD, I could only see his self-centered side. Now I see a man who is patient, considerate, helpful, giving, supportive, loving, unselfish and caring."
As one participant stated, "Life's not about waiting for the storm to pass – it is about learning to dance in the rain."
But the Dance for PD program isn't merely for Parkinson's patients, often accompanied by those who care for their daily needs.
"The uplifting feeling of movement and dance is transforming my awareness and connection with everyone," said Delores Lameri, a volunteer caregiver with the institute.
More importantly, the dancing program is not just about the physical benefits of exercising the muscles.
"This is not a therapy, but training as artists," Ganley said. "It dissolves the distinction between caregivers and PD patients."
Currently, classes are free to participants – funded through private donors and sponsors. Ganley would like to add another class, if possible, that accommodates 25 additional Freds and Gingers.
Ganley said she measures participants' successes by their attitudes – when she sees increased sensitivity, trust and joy.
"I'm not looking for physical improvement but improvement in the quality of their expressions," she said. "We need that sort of celebration of our lives."
The Parkinson's Institute is located at 675 Almanor Ave., Sunnyvale.

What Causes Night Terrors?
My grandsons, who are 3 and 4 years old, have been having night terrors since
they were each 18 months old. What causes these episodes?
– Imani
Night terrors are somewhat mysterious. It might seem as though they're the same as a bad dream, but they aren't. Night terrors usually happen in the first 2 or 3 hours of sleep, whereas bad dreams often happen in the early morning hours.
During a night terror, kids don't actually wake up and don't respond to efforts to comfort or reassure them. When kids have bad dreams, they usually wake up feeling scared or upset, and are happy to be comforted by their parents. Night terrors are generally not remembered in the morning, while bad dreams are often at least partially recalled.
The good news is that night terrors don't seem to have any harmful effects on kids who have them, and they usually outgrow them. Experts believe that night terrors might be caused by the over-arousal of a child's immature central nervous system during sleep. Some kids may inherit a tendency for this over-arousal — about 80% who have night terrors have a family member who also had them or sleepwalking (a similar type of sleep disturbance). Sometimes night terrors are more common in kids who are going through stressful life events, on certain medications, not getting enough sleep, or having too much caffeine.

A while ago, I came to know from my niece of a restaurant called Soon Hing at Kota Kemuning. The restaurant is apparently famous for its Wanton noodle and it is located just a stone throw away from Pun Chun Noodle House which is another famous place to eat around the area.
The overall environment at Soon Hing was clean, hygienic and orderly. This provided a comfortable dining experience for their customers. Service was also efficient and our food arrived on our table without waiting too long.
First up was the roast duck Wanton noodle. The roast duck skin was crispy while the meat was tender and moist. The duck definitely contributed to the overall tastiness of the meal.
The noodle was springy and freshly made. You can tell how skillful a plate of Wanton mee was made by tasting the texture of the noodle.
The curry chicken Wanton noodle was also noteworthy. Unlike most conventional curry which is more diluted, the curry served with Wanton noodle has to be thick so that it doesn't become too watery once it is mixed with the black sauce.
The gravy was rich with 'santan' and curry flavour. The chicken meat was also delicious.
Soon Hing definitely offers one of the better Wanton noodle around town. If you are living around the vicinity of Kota Kemuning, I am sure you would have heard of this place. The place was packed during the weekend which is a sure sign of the quality of food served there.
Soon Hing offers different varieties of Wanton Noodles. I will definitely make my way back to this restaurant again to try their food soon!

This ain't gonna be no normal event. There will be a concert on the 28th for 1000 VIPs who will be able to activate and use their new iPhones that day – otherwise, owners must wait till 1 December. And, strangely, that very same group will be able to check out live iPhones on display (in case they don't care to use their own phones). And, according to iPhoneInKorea, there is a "rich benefit" to top it all off. If I was you and I was in Korea (and I am), I would be excited. A bloody concert!

Spring is a time of intensity. Things seem to take on frenetic pace as though we want to cram in as much energy as possible when it is so available.
Lots of tech marketing activity – as always. Lots of new "social media" activity – as always. Lots of things to distract and entertain – as always.
I have been quiet here for a few weeks mostly because I have been absorbing it all. I have pondering the complexities of copyright in the digital age. I have turned over in my mind the practical concepts of The Trust Web. I consider how to help fix the systemic security issues in the delivery of online advertising.
In short, so many things are blossoming at once that I find myself basking the thrill of it all. The work I am doing now in social media is delivering metric based results for brands. Since I treat social media like direct marketing, I can deliver campaigns that a brand understands how to work with. It is refreshing for them.
There are some exciting projects in the near horizon, like the initiative to create security standards for the online ad world. Or the possibility of a social/ DM platform for campaign creation. And the growth of our network called MingleMediaTV so that even though it just a few weeks old it has began to rank well in Alexa.
So many possibilities. So much to learn. So little time it seems.
But it's what makes Spring so wonderful and I am enjoying the ride.

A quick question regarding group head temp on my tanked, non modified 2004 M21 Junior:
The Junior is set up so that the pressure gauge is reporting between 1.1 and 1.2 bar (needle holding steady at about the beginning of the second third of the green area) as it has been for the past 10 years, after an initial warm up period.
The new phenomenon is that after the machine has been idle for a while, when I cool it down by letting out water through the group head, it takes about 15 seconds before I can no longer see steam coming out the head and stop hearing hissing sounds, where it used to be more like 5 seconds.
It now takes at least 120 ml of water out the head to get rid of all the extra heat in the group head, when it used to be only about 60 ml.
This also happens immediately after brewing, with just a little less steam, but it still seems that the group head is far too hot if steam comes out just after pulling a shot that has been pulled after cooling the group head.
I just want to add that boiler level seems to be adequate as I am able to pull 250 ml of hot water easily and also have enough steam to be able to create great foam in a half filled 500 ml jug easily.
Any ideas or suggestions will be greatly appreciated - my thorough search revealed nothing...
Thanks a lot,

Protection options - what do you need to keep your plant running?
The malfunction of just one important instrument can lead to a complete plant-wide shut down - and losses measured in millions. INTERTEC has an arsenal of techniques to protect your installation against failures caused by Nature or accident that we can supply as components, or complete turnkey solutions, including. Click on the topic of interest to read more:
The more challenging the specification, the INTERTEC

Corrosive atmospheres or media
Ingress protection

Freeze protection
It sounds simple but beware: it's vital to scale freeze protection to handle the coldest spot in your equipment - be aware where this is and also make sure there are no 'heat shortcuts' from interior to exterior. And just because there are only tiny amounts of water in media does not mean that freeze protection is unnecessary: ice will accumulate layer by layer until it eventually blocks a tube or valve.
Corrosive atmospheres or media
Chemical and oil and gas plants can often have very corrosive atmospheres (with hydrogen sulphide for instance) that can cause corrosion and failure of electrical contacts, etc. The GRP material used in INTERTEC enclosures is resistant to very many chemicals.
Ingress protection
What is the appropriate dust and fluid protection required for your application? Any IP or NEMA rating can be achieved with the NEMA system. But also consider factors such as dewpoints and condensation when configuring enclosures. Housings with vents and drains might well provide superior protection.

NEMA ratings: http://www.nema.org/prod/be/enclosures/
Condensation protection
Condensation can build up even in sealed enclosures, and large amounts of water can build up over long periods of time from humidity. Always maintain equipment temperature above the dew point.
Graffiti can be removed - Graffiti does not stick well to the smooth surface of our gel-coat, and can usually be removed by a special solvent available from INTERTEC
Temperature regulation
Maintaining an elevated temperature is often essential in order to prevent condensation and/or crystallization of media at instrumentation points in chemical and petrochemical plants, and sample conditioning systems for analyzers. Some users create ad hoc solutions in the form of a 'hot air shower' where a fan (or compressed air) warms the local environment. These can be very energy intensive and difficult to build for hazardous areas. The optimal solution is a 'hot box' (US) - an enclosure for the equipment in question, fitted with a heating element and controller.
Extreme temperatures
Some Ex equipment is only rated for use between -20 and +40 C, but many oil and gas environments today are demanding 'Äď65 to +65 C.
INTERTEC can provide housings with the appropriate heating/climatisation - plus alarms/switches to handle any failure of the heating element.
Fire resistance
There are a large number of fire standards worldwide - typically focused on two goals: preventing a small source of fire from getting bigger, or limiting a fire to a room or part of an installation. INTERTEC uses only fire-retardant GRP material (having so-called 'self extinguishing' properties) that naturally limits flame spread. Heat insulation can be achieved by also employing sandwich constructions of GRP around cores of mineral wool or other materials, to achieve fire resistances of up to 120 minutes. Enclosure or shelter designs can be fabricated to keep the temperature within the operational range of the equipment ( e.g. 60 C) for a particular duration (e.g. 30 minutes). These designs can meet temperature curves such as EN or UL1709 while keeping protected equipment below ignition temperature ( i.e. 180 C). Enclosures made from GRP are naturally superior at this task than ones fabricated using highly conductive metal materials.
Solar/UV radiation
Ambient temperatures are defined 'Äėin the shade'Äô, sun shades are often vital accessories to make the enclosure/shelter operate efficiently. Good heat conducting materials such as aluminium or steel make poor shades as they can lead to radiation between shade and instrument. It's often thought that plastic materials are not robust enough for sun/UV shade duties, but this is a fallacy. Today, plastic coatings protect many of our most precious possessions (house, car, etc). INTERTEC can apply a UV- and scratch-resistant gel coating with a thickness of 800 micrometers (a typical automobile might have just 100 micrometers) that will last at least 20 years.
Explosion proof
All equipment in hazardous areas must meet the requirements defined in IEC 60079-0. Specifications can include:¬∑ 'ÄėElstat'Äô (electrostatic) antistatic materials, to prevent sparks caused by electrostatic charging.¬∑ Ingress protection (e.g. IP65) is demanded by many Ex standards (IEC 60079 ff). ¬∑ Mechanical protection (against impacts) is a demand in many 'Äėtypes of protection'Äô.INTERTEC enclosures and cabinets are available tested and approved for Ex p (pressurisation) 'Äėtypes of protection'Äô.For North America there are special regulations.
INTERTEC heaters and enclosures are approved by CSA or ETL under the NRTL program: http://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/index.html, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Electrical_Code
Unauthorized access
Enclosures and cabinets for a site can be provided with locks (US), with either the 'Äėsame key for all'Äô or 'Äėmaster key' system.
The natural strength and flexibility of GRP makes it excellent at providing mechanical protection, against either accidental impacts or vandalism, in a form that can withstand significant forces without structural damage.
Wind/blast/seismic force
Enclosures / cabinets / shelters can be constructed to withstand very high pressures such as offshore winds (240 km/h), explosion blast pressures, or seismic loads (Zone 5).
The material is very well suited for extreme seismic situations because it is light and the intrinsic flexibility acts like a 'suspension'
