Why the hell would you open a brewery?
Quick note: This week's entry is a guest post from Chris Creech at Fortnight Brewing in Raleigh/Durham. Chris and his team are a great group of people and blazing a path toward opening the newest brewery in the area. They're focused on English inspired beers and are constantly out in the community working toward their goal of bettering the local beer culture.
Why the hell would you open a brewery?-Chris Creech
I have heard that question, often phrased a little less bluntly, a lot over the past few months. And to be honest, it was a while before I really sat down and thought about the actual answer to the question.
At first, I just said, "Well, I've been brewing beer for a while – I enjoy it and I think the beer is pretty good, and I've been given a great opportunity, so we're going for it."
While that is all true, it doesn't really answer the core of the question. Why are so many people quitting their good day jobs to open a small business to produce beer – a highly regulated product with razor-slim profit margins?
The craft beer industry is an industry of passion. There are so many great people involved in the production, distribution, selling and promotion of craft beer, and they all have one thing in common – passion. It's a passion for a unique product, a passion for the fellowship and community that beer promotes, and a passion for sharing their passion with others.
Sure, there are some super-stars in the beer industry, from Jim Koch (Boston Beer Company/Sam Adams) to Sam Calagione (Dogfish Head Brewery), but for the most part, you don't brew beer for fame or fortune. Most of us will spend long hours brewing beer, and then spend our nights and weekends selling and promoting our beer at bars, restaurants, festivals and events. And what's the pay-off? It's not often a huge paycheck, but it comes back to that passion.
Not only are the people involved with the supply-side of beer passionate about it – the beer consumers are also passionate, and it is their passion that drives us.
As the interest in craft beer grows, more and more folks are becoming craft and local beer enthusiasts. And when you can hand someone a beer, or see them ordering your beer at a bar or restaurant, and see, hear and feel their reaction to your creation, it is a fantastic moment. To then see these people become passionate about your product, becoming ambassadors for what you're doing, gives you great pride and sense of accomplishment. That is the pay-off, and that passion is why we are opening a brewery.
So, if you are as passionate as I am about craft and local beer, then I would encourage you all to continue to drink local, support your local breweries, and keep an eye out for some great new breweries coming to NC in the near future, including Fortnight Brewing Company.

Why don't small breweries get a lawyer?
I just responded to an email about breweries and lawyers. Trying to develop a niche practice in serving the craft beer industry is tough and I thought about why that is. I believe craft beer (whether brewing, distributing, or serving) people often don't consult an attorney because either
- "I can handle all this stuff myself. If I ever need to trademark something, then I'll get a lawyer." OR
- "All lawyers do is make things more complicated and cost money. Why should I pay for them to get in my way." OR
- "I think I need some help here, but I can't afford one, so I guess I'll go it alone anyway."
I've been working with the NC Brewers Guild to try and educate brewers and the support industries (who are also largely small or Mom & Pop shops) about how attorneys can actually make things easier and protect you from future issues.
I also spend a good deal of time counseling people on the concept that an attorney – a good attorney – is one that will work with you on your business. Someone that's interested in seeing your business grow and helping to manage your risks before they become problems. I can only speak for myself, but I want to help you make things less complicated. Make things easier now *and* in the future. I really feel that's a critical role for a lawyer.
Thinking that you "can handle" all the aspects of your business by yourself is just silly. You may know more about your body than anyone else, but that doesn't mean that you should perform your own gall bladder surgery. The same applies with brewing equipment, accounting, and legal issues. If you don't have special training or expertise in the area, get some help.
Also, thinking that you can't afford an attorney is also not right. If you're concerned about that, talk about it with your attorney. More than likely, they'll work with you to come up with a plan that fits your needs and budget. No one wants to see you or your company struggle because of a legal issue or not get help when you need it.
What have been your experiences with this? If you're a brewer/brewery/bar why don't you get a lawyer involved?

SPOKANE, Wash. - Police need the public's help in locating a shooter and potential victims in a shooting that happened Monday morning near the Gonzaga University campus.
The Spokane Police Department is looking for information into a shooting that took place on Baldwin between Cincinnati and Hamilton.
The incident happened just before 2:00 AM on February 25th. Witnesses reported seeing a male in dark clothes standing by a small white 4door car. He shot several rounds from a handgun at a small black truck with a canopy that was stopped in the street. The suspect has not been identified and the victim left the area without contacting police. Officers located several shell casings in the street and bullet fragments that show shots were fired towards the west. Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Check at 456-2233 or 242-TIPS (8477).

2 Transportation Stocks to Buy, 1 to Avoid
David is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
As economic activity heats up, transportation is likely to experience an overall boom. However, not all transportation industries will fare as well as others. In my view, rail is best positioned to gain the most from greater economic activity, since it remains by far the cheapest form of transportation. At the same time, this viewpoint is common in the market and is largely priced in. The result is that other transportation industries, like airlines, have become overly discounted and created an environment for consolidation.
Southwest Airlines (NYSE: LUV) Ought To Pursue Takeover Activity
For the year to date, Southwest has had quite a bit of turbulence that has amounted to a nearly 1,200 bps underperformance against the S&P 500. In my view, however, the stock is undervalued. It continues to trade at a PEG ratio below 1x, because the market remains myopically focused on the past. Unfortunately, even the interpretation over the past overly discounts corporate strengths. For example, while earnings fell 17.6% annually, Southwest is the only major airline that has not gone bankrupt. It is this kind of resiliency that will enable the company to reach the forecast for 22% 5-year annual EPS growth.
As fuel prices decline, Southwest is also positioned to post margin expansion, which it can then use to reinvest in the business. Equipped with a balance sheet, the company should also consider pursuing takeover activity to dilute fixed costs through increases in scale. AirTran should unlock meaningful synergies through improving passenger connections to key destinations. However, a full integration won't be completed until 2014, and investors are looking for a faster turnaround / corporate strategy.
To be clear, Southwest recently generated a staggering 42% rise in earnings for 2Q 2012. Given how clean the balance sheet is relative to competitors, the airline also has strong bargaining power to acquire bankrupt, but still valuable, assets. With a strong ability to keep margins high relative to competitors, there is little reason to doubt that it could create value in businesses that have failed to cut the fat.
Norfolk Southern (NYSE: NSC) A "Buy" Over UPS (NYSE: UPS)
While both of these companies will benefit from free trade agreements, only Norfolk Southern is meaningfully undervalued. It trades at a respective 11.6x and 11.1x past and forward earnings, versus corresponding figures of 18.1x and 14.1x for UPS. Norfolk is also forecast for higher 5-year annual EPS growth (14.5%, versus 10.9% at UPS).
Bernstein recently upgraded Norfolk Southern on news that rails will invest ~$23 billion in improving infrastructure in 2012. While the stock has fallen significantly since it announced earnings 25% below consensus, forecasts in the coal business have been overly negative. Coal has been weak largely due to poor Chinese demand; however, the secular trends are still strong in China and will provide a healthy stream of free cash flow in the longer-term. The Chinese government and Federal Reserve have all announced stimulus packages that will drive up interest in energy, and thus coal. Freight volumes will correspondingly pick up, and greater train velocity will expand margins.
UPS, on the other hand, has the best factored in. Assuming that it meets analyst expectations, 2016 EPS will come out to $7.09. At a 16x multiple, this translates to a future stock value of $113.50. Discounting backwards by 10% yields a present value of $70.48. That is worth less than the current market assessment, which indicates the stock is overvalued.

"Perfect for the price"
Hotel rooms are perfect for a family of four with a fridge and microwave and full TV and movies service. Bathrooms and showers were clean and fresh but remind me of a mobile home or airplane. Only major complaint is that there is no door on the area with the tub and shower. We had to close the room separator each time and this was not very convenient […] when you are a family with teenage children. Price wax reasonable and hotel was a 2 minute walk from the train.

"Average hotel"
Novotel is a high end chain but this one is quite average. The BF is good though.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Very nice"
The hotel is very nice and probably the best room we stayed in Europe. It is not close enough to the center of Vienna, but very accessible since there is Metro station very close and would get you to the center in less than 10 minutes.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Nice clean hotel"
Close to subway. Staff is friendly. Room is clean.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Nice... but"
Liked the location. Half a block from the metro station. Staff was helpful. Neighborhood was quiet. Lay out in the room was weird. The toilet was separated from the bathroom. Bathroom didn't have a door and I was traveling with a friend and that was kind of awkward. Other than that, very nice hotelGenuine Hotels.com guest review

In room are not comfortable WC and beds. Menu has not including foods for small childs. Hotel is about 1 km till Attraction park and several green parks, that is make his hotel very flexible for familys with kids. Hotel has not restoran for lunch or dinner and no restorans around 1kmGenuine Expedia guest review
"Clean and well kept, close to subway, affordable."
The room was quite clean and spacious - excellent value for the price. There is not a whole lot to see in the immediate vicinity around the hotel but it is very close to the subway which makes it very easy to get around. Note that there is no iron in the room - there is one "ironing room" on one of the floors. The hair dryer wasn't all that great. The […] "fitness center" was a huge disappointment. Basically, one bike and one "universal" which wasn't all that good. Plus, you have to walk by the dining area which is somewhat awkward given how sweaty you might be.

"Great value, large room, delicous breakfast"
The hotel was located conveniently close to the Underground and about 10 minutes from the old city. The rooms was large and modern. The furniture and fittings were low quality but looked good. The breakfast was excellent and the staff were very friendly.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Nice hotel"
Will come backGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Good choice"
Clean modern setup. Little far from attractions.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great and very functional with unique style"
Overall the hotel was great. The style of the rooms is very unique. It feels a little plasticky at first but it is actually very comfy and nice. The shower and toilette feel at times like the lavatory on an airplane or the restroom of a spaceship. But it's all very functional and clean and a lot more comfy than anything you would find on an airplane. […] Give it a try unless you insist on the old fashioned (fake) wood style of most hotels.

"very close to the metro station"
10 min to the center, very nice hotel, position is perfect.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Nice Hotel in Nice Location"
We stayed for 3 nights. The room was for 3 people and there was plenty of space. Very efficient floor plan. Had to ask for additional coat hangers, they came in the room less than 5 minutes from my call. On a couple of other occasions the hotel service and reception were very responsive and kind. Location is 1 block from the U line and a 10-12 minute […] ride to the heart of the city. Our rate included free Wi-Fi and breakfast, the staff made sure there was plenty of everything (food) at all times between 6 and 11 am. Will definitely stay again. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Good hotel, excellent staff, easy access to U"
Good, spacious rooms. Well-maintained facilities. Located with easy access to main tourist destinations via U, which is less than 50 meters from the hotel. Staff were extremely helpful and cooperative. We stayed as three families in three rooms, and no one had any reason for complaint. I'd stay there again in a heartbeat.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Ok hotel for family"
the hotel is hard to find with GPS. plastic bathroom. you can hear all noises, including streetGenuine Expedia guest review
"Great value hotel"
We called from the airport for directions. We were told the wrong platform so we started the trip with a scenic ride through the Vienna countryside. Once we turned around, we found the place without problem. The hotel is not in the prettiest or most happening part of the city but it is 1 block from the subway, which gets you everywhere. Since we didn't […] hang out at the hotel, the location was fine for us. It is also a 10 minute walk to Prater Park. The staff is exceptional, full of wonderful information (and patience) to get you where you want to go. The breakfast was awesome- spend a few extra dollars to start your day off right! The room was nice and spacious for our family (we had 4- in a double and 2 twins). Bathroom and toilet are separate areas, which is nice. Also, shower and tub are separate which is nice too. The beds were ridiculously uncomfortable which is my only complaint! Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Good Hotel in a Very Good Location"
The hotel is very close to a tram stop. The connections to town are so convienient. The hotel itself was good. The staff was ok. I think they could be a bit more welcoming and warmer. And provide help in areas such as information on what to do in Vienna or around town. The breakfast was fabulous. Great variety, plenty to eat! It really gives us a good […] start to the day. Overall, I would consider returning back to this hotel. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Convenient to all sights by Subway"
A plumbing contractors dream. If you have need of a plumbing fixture, they have it. The room was clean, and the staff was responsive and pleasant.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Outstanding value!"
Great place to stay. The location is about 100m from Vogarten Strasse on the U1 subway. The rooms were well appointed. Free movies on the TV. Free wireless internet. Parking was only 12 euro for the night. I would highly recommend this hotel if you are wanting to take the u-bahn into the center of vienna.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"A very good hotel for the money paid."
We managed to find a good deal, for a double bed plus a single one(3 persons) including the breakfast. Room was very clean and quite due to the fact that was facing the internal courtyard, eventhough I think wouldn't matter as the hotel is located on a quiet street. The AC was powerful enough to cool the room. The WiFi was good enough, however I was […] using the cable. Breakfast had the same choices, however for 3 days would not matter, to have a different choice everyday. Overall was a very pleasant stay, easy access to Underground, close to a grocery store, if needed. I would consider this hotel for a future visit in Vienna. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Ok but not great, service sucks"
Hotel itself was not bad. Location is decent, close to the subway which can get you anywhere. The building seemed fairly well kept up. However, when we plugged in the phone charger, with the proper power converter, the fuse blew out and fried the phone charger and the power went out in the entire room. When I went down to tell the front desk, they were […] familiar with this problem as it happened before and new exactly how to fix it. They reset the circuits and the power came back. The problem was that they didn't really do anything about the charger. They said it wasn't a hotel problem and gave us an insurance form to fill out. They asked us to write out the problem in detail and give our bank information so that they could send it to the insurance company. They said it was up to the insurance company and we would likely not get our money back because this would be hard to prove. We decided it was not worth the hassle not to fill out the form and give the bank information for $50. They also seemed to not care that the fuses kept blowing out and frying customers electronics.

"Great suites hotel near center."
Excellent hotel, it is 1 block from the metro, near the historic center.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Suite Novotel Wien"
The toilette room (?) is similar to the ones in RVs without any ventilation. The room smelled of urine and if the door was left open the entire hotel room smelled.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"GREAT Hotel! AMAZING rooms!"
One of the best rooms i ever seen! Superbly equipped, comfortable, indulging. A pleasure! (No bathroom door if you mind, we didn't).Right next to the giant amusement park and 20 minutes from the airport. We have no idea relative to the city center.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Wholeheartedly recommended"
We stayed in this hotel 8 nights and tremendously enjoyed our stay . The location is great, just one block away from the subway station on U1 line. It takes you less than 15 minutes and you are on Stephansplatz. The room is awesome, with a kitchenette, refrigerator, microwave, kettle, etc. We did not take a breakfast (the cost of 13Euro/person seems […] to be quite high), so I can't comment on the quality of breakfast. In any case, a big supermarket Eurospar is just across the street. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Racist behaviour from staff. Poor overall service."
Would not recommend this hotel. I checked in on the 19 June 2014 and I witnessed one of the bar/reception staff being racist. He loudly asked one of the guest if they were Chinese ( luckily he wasn't ) and then went on making random noises mocking the Chinese. I was just by the reception and he was saying it loud enough for the entire lobby to hear […] him. When he noticed that I overheard this, instead of apologising he just starred at me challenging me to react - I am Singaporean of Chinese ethnicity. This behaviour is unacceptable and I found this extremely offensive and rude. Inexcusable and not what I expected from Novotel. General service was also very poor. Another receptionist was not helpful when I asked about general tourist attractions. Instead I was just shoved a whole bunch of brochures. Simple request such as a change of towels were ignored. When I called the reception again, I was asked to come down and collect it. There wasn't even an apology for not bringing it up at first. The rooms are at least decent size. A little dated but clean. Location is good, it's right next to the metro station. Breakfast was good too. Also as a warning. The bathroom has no door so if you're not a couple it's a little awkward. I would not however come back or recommend. It almost ruined my holiday. Racist behaviour from the particular Novotel staff and poor overall service. I'd recommend everyone stay well away. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great location"
Hotel was in great location as we stayed because of the Vienna marathon. It is also 50m from metro station so really easy to get into city centre. The hotel was very clean and all the staff very courteous and helpful. Room was large and spacious with separate toilet and bathroom - bathroom had no door which we found a little odd but not really a pr […] oblem. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"just ok"
Room card doesn't work during check-in for 3 times!! Then once a day u need to 'charge' room card, it continues for 2 days. WI-FI is slow, gym room is lack of maintenance, others r fine, overall ok of the hotel. Room doesn't suit for twin traveller, it suits couple and family better.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Basic but nice sized room"
Technical problems spoiled the experience. The door wouldn't lock; the gave another guest the same room; the "free" movies didn't work. Other than that it was fine.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Not bad !"
Did not exactly meet expectations - charged for parking and breakfast - didnt know it but thats my mistake. Close to the metro so connecting to places wasnt an issue. The reception was ok not exactly welcoming..could be better.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great stay at the suite novotel Wien city."
spent 5 nights during the end of august 2013 at suite novotel Wien city and the experience was terrific. Staff were both friendly and very helpful and would help with anything no matter what the problem,rooms were really spacious with a seperate toilet room as well as a walk in shower and a nice sized bath with additional shower mixer. There was a Small […] kitchenette which was really well laid out and most importantly for us Brits you also got the use of a kettle. Excellently located to both a huge eurospar and the vorgartenstrabe station which is on the u1 line,only 1 stop from the prater theme park (praterstern station) where you can get connections to anywhere in the city as well as a connecting s7 train to Vienna international airport. Vienna is a fantastic city which we enjoyed more than what we thought we would,at no time did we feel unsafe during our stay and we was venturing out at all sorts of times. There's Many attractions to keep the whole family amused and I highly recommend this destination to the point I'd like to return. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Great location"
Really nice hotel for the money. One block from subway and grocery store. Limited parking, hard beds, bad pillows. Nice to have air that worked and microwave. Would recommend.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Quality and great value of money."
An overall pleasant stay. the room for four people was a little bit small. no much space to move around but as i understand that's the general rule for Paris hotels. There was just one minor incident with a housekeeper who was keeping knocking on our door, on our last day, in order to see whether she could start cleaning the room. It was a little bit […] strange, because we were leaving on that day. She should have known that and waited until after our departure.Also it happened another one morning during our stay.

"great hotel to be a tourist."
In the hot weather we had, it was very comfortable that the room had a good air conditioning. Also it was very convenient that it is so close to a tube (metro) station.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Nice express hotel"
Convenient location, didn't have to use our car to commute to the old town, the room had microwave, fridge and electrical kettle. Parking and breakfast could be cheaper though.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Great Breakfast"
We had a great stay! The breakfast was fantastic and the best we saw in Europe. The room met our needs and the location was perfect right next to a metro stop and several grocery stores.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
We enjoyed our stay very much. Great breakfast, very friendly and helpful staff.Great location, only a few meters from metro, where for very little money you can go anywhere in Vienna.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"OK room, but poor services"
I stayed four nioghts in this hotel and am not pareticularly satisfied. The room was quite nice, but nothing worked in this hotel. The refridgerator in my room did not work. They fixed it the second day, but next day it stopped working again. I had brought some drinks and food that got warm and almost destroyed. They also boast about free multimedia […] in the room, but the system did not work (e.g. movie on demand, different TV-channels etc). The Wi-fi was slow and useless - not even good for checking e-mails etc. The last day, also the air-condition stopped working and the temperature in the room became unpleasant. The staff at the hotel said they were sorry, but did not do anything to fix the problems (the fridge was fixed and remained working for half a day....). The last day I did not get the room cleaned because I was in the room when they came to clean the room, and they did not have time to come back later. Glasses, cups and cutlery was all plastic and disposable and I guess this is not good in these days of environmental focus. For a hotel in this price range, I expect more, so I would advice against booking at this hotel. On the positive side, the hotel is located very close to the metro station, although the area itself is not very interesting. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great all-purpose hotel ; highly recommended"
We had stayed in Suite Novotel, Berlin, prior to this, and that's why we booked here. Suite Novotel rooms are spacious and extremely family-friendly, with their clever central module with bath, shower, two washbasins, WC, microwave and fridge. The beds - one double. one single and a pull-out bed - were comfortable. As in Berlin, we cut costs by eating […] in our room most evenings - there's an excellent Spar one block away, and other shops too. Breakfast is not provided - you can buy it if you choose ; we never did - but good coffee and not-too-bad cake are, at no charge. Staff were unfailingly helpful and pleasant. The hotel is in a fairly quiet street very close to a metro four stops from central Vienna - the journey is less than ten minutes, and the metro is very cheap. For what you get, this hotel is very good value for money, and that helps in what is a very comfortable, clean, attractive and interesting but also rather expensive city. We are firm fans of Suite Novotel Wien, and would recommend it to anyone. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Away from centre but easy transport links"
Good clean hotel and helpful staff. Not in the centre but metro station is just 100m away so easy to get around.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"A good value stay for our family"
We stayed for 4 nights and 4 days during a stay in Vienna. The room was of a modest size for me, my partners and our two 4 year olds although if it had just been the two of us it would have been plentiful. The room was clean as were the bathrooms. A seperate bath and shower were provided and the toilet was seperate from these which was great for us. […] A few signs of wear and tear but nothing to make the room unseemly/unhygenic. One of our favourite features was the room partition so when the kids were asleep we still felt like we had our own living space.Breakfast was great. One thing they don't advertise which was great was their free movies and music. There was a choice of 36 English movies (all pretty current) suitable for us and a few for the kids which was completely free. It really made our evenings and you can sit in the bath and still see the TV which is great! They do have wi-fi but it's not a great signal. However they have a free to use computer downstairs with a printer which was so handy for printing out our boarding passes the night before. Staff were always friendly and polite to us, the breakfast lady made the effort to talk to us and try to give us some more ideas of things to do in Vienna with the kids as well as giving them a few gifts on behalf of the hotel (pencil cases and a dinosaur building kit!) which was appreciated. Special thanks to the man working the desk on the Wednesday night as he went above and beyond including lending us his phone charger. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Spacious but basic"
Great location for business. The rooms are very spacious and offer everything you would expect. Down side is that there is no restaurant in the hotel and not much choice for eating in the close vicinity.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

What can often squash the creative bug is taking on a project beyond your skill set. I learned that the hard way.
Which is why I'm excited to share my favorite new find, Brett Bara, a crafty gal with great video tutorials like the one below.

Derrick Rose is better than everyone on the Bucks
Category: Recaps
|Ersan Ilyasova, PF 43 MIN | 14-18 FG | 2-3 FT | 10 REB | 1 AST | 32 PTS | +2
Career high 32 points. Could you make an argument that he's the Bucks second best player right now? Absolutely. Could you make an argument that he's their best player right now? Absolutely. He probably isn't, but his numbers and overall game has been there lately. His movement towards the hoop resulted in layups on passes from teammates or offensive rebounds all night on Wednesday and he was hitting shots from everywhere. Scott Skiles had some insightful words about Ersan before the game that I'll write up (hopefully) on Thursday.
|Drew Gooden, PF 37 MIN | 11-21 FG | 3-4 FT | 6 REB | 1 AST | 27 PTS | +4
Aside from a rough spot early in the third, this was a night full of offensive treasures from Gooden. Thank his effort for some of that, but thank Carlos Boozer's lax defensive tendencies as well. He gave Gooden some extra space a few times when it just wasn't necessary or prudent. Not when Gooden is making mid-range jumpers and threes. Watching the two of them duel back and forth was a fair amount of comical.
|Carlos Delfino, SF 25 MIN | 4-11 FG | 0-0 FT | 4 REB | 5 AST | 8 PTS | -7
First quarter: 4-6 FG. Rest of game: 0-5 FG. His slump continues. Delfino got all of his baskets early on forays to the hoop, something he doesn't typically do. The Bulls rarely give up open threes and he only saw one shining opportunity from outside. They made sure of it.
|Brandon Jennings, PG 38 MIN | 4-18 FG | 2-2 FT | 2 REB | 6 AST | 11 PTS | +4
Credit the Bulls defense more than you discredit Jennings for Wednesday's quiet start. He had just two at half. Rose and the Bulls weren't giving Jennings anything from outside the arc, Jennings favorite launch point. But he snuck in for a couple shots inside, finished another break and got some looks from outside in the second half. Timely scoring, if not quite enough. In the half court the Bulls seemed to put a lot of focus on getting the ball out of Jennings' occasionally dangerous hands or letting him take contested off balance shots. He opted for the latter.
|Mike Dunleavy, SF 33 MIN | 2-8 FG | 4-4 FT | 8 REB | 5 AST | 8 PTS | +1
A little bit of everything from Dunleavy. Except made threes. He had one of the more prolific airballs I've seen in quite some time on a three he took in the first half. Really unexpected stuff there.
|Beno Udrih, PG 25 MIN | 4-5 FG | 3-4 FT | 2 REB | 7 AST | 11 PTS | -4
He's supposedly been grumpy about his minutes and he's certainly playing like a guy who deserves some more. Beno was crucial in saving a possession late for the Bucks. Even better, after his offensive board, he went to the rack and got two free throws. He followed that up with a layup over Joakim Noah to tie things up at 102. He and Jennings worked very well together with him often as the primary ball-handler.
Three Things We Saw
- Why do I discuss tanking? Getting a guy like Derrick Rose, that's why. I'm less concerned with his last second shot, I subscribe to the theory that running a play would have been better, but it was everything else he did that amazed me. So easily he moved through the Bucks. Not every draft has a guy like Rose, he's a rare, rare talent. But no draft ever has a guy like him between eight and 15.
(I know Kobe went 13. That was a high schooler and the mid-90s. Unlikely to happen again.)
- You know what's a uniquely Bucks experience right now? Having a guy play incredibly well, possibly have the best game of his career and then watch people on Twitter debate intensely what he could be traded for. I know I helped get that ball rolling with Ilyasova, but let's take tonight and enjoy what he did rather than think about him leaving.
- Everyone cheered everything late. Bulls fans were like 10,000 little explosions of joy each time Derrick Rose took a dribble. Bucks fans were thrilled to A. be in this game and B. have players making good plays late. A very lively arena late. No question that the players, specifically the Bucks players, fed off the energy. COME TO GAMES.

It's like basketball, but with Bucks instead of basket. I know ... I'm sorry. He might come off as a bit negative, but I'm really not so bad. He just wants the Bucks to succeed, so he points out areas where they are coming up short. Someone has got to do it and he's ornery and opinionated enough to take on that task. He isn't sure if this should be in third person or not. Contact him at email@example.com if you must use e-mail.

I dont even need to read the article the headline sums it all up perfectly, gotta give him dap for that game winning shot.
This game was a painful portent of what would happen if the Bucks were the 8th seed. Can you imagine the first round playoff games against the Bulls–FIBs would stream into brew city, the Bulls would play at home every night!
Rose is sure incredible, but this game showed the rest of his team is pedestrian. Carlos Boozer stinks–I think Gooden is probably just as good. Luol Deng didn't do anything particularly amazing–he's another 3 in a league full of them, benefitted from their record to be an all-star. Noah is okay, just a little above average. Gibson was their 2nd best player on this night, but his entire game relies on cleaning up Rose's slashing. Korver really stinks. Without Rose this team is probably in the lottery–goes to show you how much of a star-driven league this is.
Really impressed by the Bucks play in this game. I thought they were going to take it, honestly.
@DarvinHam i agree with all of that especially with the bulls fans invading the BC, couldnt deal with that. Joakim Noah is really really good tho. He's like Anderson Varejao 2.0. Plays Defense at the level of Garnett, runs very very well for a big man. Always plays with intensity and is among league leaders in rebounds every year. His shot is as ugly as that rats nest of a haircut on top of his head tho
@DarvinHam The idea of a competitive playoff series is intriguing.
The idea of Bulls fans invading the Bradley Center during the playoffs is horrifying.
PERFECT game. Competitive, but a loss. You're right—the Bucks need to tank and get a top fiver.
SAD that now that Ersan looks like a Turkish Kevin Love, he'll be traded because he hates Milwaukee
enough not to resign with them. This kills Milwaukee , too. Bad play makes it impossible to keep the good players. I know I've been down on Brandon, but I'll bet he'd play great for a team like LA or Denver where they run, run, run. Just a bad fit here, and he's discouraged. I don't even blame him.
The Bucks should look to trade the young Buck, Brandon Jennings and Ersan while they can get really good value for them in return. Of course, don't do this w/o dumping Stephen Jackson on someone else's doorstep as a 'condition' of the fire sale.

- International Programs
- Int'l Degree & Education Abroad
- Int'l Student Advising & Services
- Int'l Scholar & Faculty Services
To earn an International Degree, you must
Your graduation audit will be completed by an advisor in your Primary College or Department. Confirmation of the International Degree will be appropriately noted on your transcripts, and you will receive separate diplomas for your primary major and International Studies.
1. University Dual Degree Requirements
You must successfully complete all departmental, college, and institutional requirements for your primary degree.
You must also complete a minimum of 32 credits in residence beyond the 180 credits required for most primary degrees (some majors require more than 180 credits).
Additional International Degree requirements may be established for your primary degree, so check with your major adviser or the International Degree Contact in your department to make sure that you know what they are and that you are able to complete them. When you meet with your adviser, have a transcript in hand.
2. Advanced Proficiency in a Foreign Language
Advanced proficiency is usually evidenced by completion of the third term of a fourth-year language sequence at OSU (413). The OSU Department of Foreign Languages will approved your language proficiency and sign off on the Language Proficiency Form once you have completed this requirement.
Possible methods of demonstrating fourth-year language proficiency:
NOTE: Foreign Language Majors
* fees involved in administering a language proficiency exam are the responsibility of the student.
** The student must clearly demonstrate how the target language was used and linguistic progress achieved during their cultural immersion in a brief portfolio presented to the OSU Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures.
You must spend a minimum of 10 weeks in a country where your International Degree language is spoken, engaged in one of these activities: study abroad, international internship or independently arranged research project/directed study.
4. ID Core
You must successfully complete a minimum of four courses for the International Core selected from the Baccalaureate Core Curriculum (see General Catalog for yearly changes). These courses are in addition to the University's Baccalaureate Core requirements. The International Core course requirements must come from the following categories:
Note: you can not take all four of the additional Baccalaureate Core courses focusing on the same culture/language group.
NOTE: College of Forestry students
5. Thesis
You must prepare a rigorous and integrative senior thesis that demonstrates a fundamental and comprehensive understanding of global issues and of the international dimensions of your primary degree. More information can be found in our thesis section.
Additional College & Department Requirements:
Foreign Languages and Literatures - If you are majoring in French, German or Spanish, to earn the International Degree you must complete the second foreign language required of a language major through the fourth-year level. You must also spend two 10-week periods abroad; one in each of the countries where the two languages you are studying are spoken.
For example, if you are a German major and have decided to take Russian as your second foreign language, you must complete the 400-level Russian course and study abroad in both Germany and Russia. Additionally, you may not complete major/minor requirements without taking upper-division courses in the OSU Foreign Languages Department even if you complete the hour requirements abroad. Please contact Brenda McCullough, Joseph Krause or Guy Wood in the Department of Foreign Languages for more information.
Forestry Majors - As part of the ID core, you must take FE/FOR 456, International Forestry (3 credits). For students not based on the Corvallis campus (e.g. Ecampus, OSU-Cascades in Bend), you may enroll in GEO 300, Sustainability for the Common Good (3 credits), as an alternative.

I've talked before about the wealth of information that, by law, has to be printed on all pet food labels. Today, I want to touch upon something that isn't listed … the quality of the ingredients that make up the food.
Ingredient quality is extremely important. We know this when it comes to feeding ourselves (even if we don't always chose the whole grain slice of toast over the donut in the morning), and the same is true for animals. Unfortunately, it can be very difficult for owners to determine whether their pets' foods are made from ingredients of the highest quality — all "chicken" is not created equal, in other words.
First, let's examine some terms that may or may not be helpful. If you look through the pet food aisle, you can find labels that contain the USDA organic seal, which has a legal definition attached to it. If the product as a whole is labeled as USDA organic, it must be made from greater than 95 percent organic ingredients. If the label states, "Made with organic ingredients," then 70-94 percent of the ingredients must be organic. In some cases, you might find organic items listed in the ingredient list, but this simply means that those ingredients alone are organic. We can debate whether organic is better, but at least consumers know what they're paying for when they see the USDA seal.
The use of the word "natural" is also legally defined in pet foods — in this case by the Association of American Feed Control Officers (AAFCO). It means that a food or ingredient is derived "solely from plant, animal or mined sources, either in its unprocessed state or having been subjected to physical processing, heat processing, rendering, purification extraction, hydrolysis, enzymolysis or fermentation, but not having been produced by or subject to a chemically synthetic process and not containing any additives or processing aids that are chemically synthetic except in amounts as might occur unavoidably in good manufacturing practices." Clear? Maybe not, but it's better than no definition at all.
On the other hand, the term "holistic" is completely unregulated as it applies to pet foods. Any manufacturer can use it for any product with impunity.
Owners often hear that they should look for ingredients that sound like what they would (or should) eat, but this can be taken too far. Dogs and cats, after all, are not people. So while we may not seek out chicken meal in our diets, this ingredient is in fact made from chicken flesh, skin and bone — all perfectly appropriate ingredients in a pet food. The problem is that "chicken meal" (or "chicken," "chicken by-product meal," or any other ingredient for that matter) can come from high or low-quality sources. For example, I'd like to know whether or not the chickens in question were fed an appropriate diet, raised in a healthy environment, and processed in a clean facility, but this information is hard, if not impossible, to come by.
So, what can owners do? First, there is an element of "you get what you pay for" when it comes to pet foods. I never recommend that my clients feed their pets the cheapest foods that they can find. Instead, go with a company with a good and longstanding reputation. Next, look for foods that have undergone a feeding trial. The label should say something along the lines of, "Animal feeding tests using AAFCO procedures substantiate that Brand X adult dog food provides complete and balanced nutrition for maintenance of adult dogs." Food trials are not perfect, but they are superior to formulating a diet using only a computer program.
Finally, watch how your pet responds to a particular food. Is he maintaining a healthy weight? Is his digestive system functioning normally (i.e., firm stools, normal amounts of flatulence, no vomiting)? Does his coat shine? Is his energy and activity level appropriate for his age and overall health? A good diet is essential to well-being. If your dog or cat isn't thriving, it's time for a change.

Mega Brace. Unlike many other manufactured shear panels, the iLevel Shear Brace can be trimmed to length in the field. Made from LSL lumber, it comes in 12- and 18-inch widths in lengths up to 20 feet. Predrilled holes help with mechanical installation; the mounting system allows some front-to-back adjustment. For pricing and availability, the manufacturer suggests contacting a dealer. Weyerhaeuser, 888/453-8358, www.ilevel.com.
Dormers To Go. Framing an eyebrow dormer can be difficult and time-consuming — so why not leave it to the experts? The Eyebrow Construction Co. specializes in preframed eyebrow dormers for projects nationwide. Standard models come with 3-, 4-, 5-, or 6-foot-wide windows, zinc-coated copper sill pans, and preformed casing. Prices start at $9,300. The Eyebrow Construction Co., 631/653-7800, www.eyebrowconstruction.com.
Hold It Together. It's actually pretty easy to pry open an entry door secured with a conventional lockset and deadbolt — unless Don-Jo's Wrap-Around Door Reinforcer has been installed. Available in six finishes, the 22-gauge metal plate resists prying and banging tools and keeps the door edge from splitting. In other words, it makes breaking in a lot harder to do. The product costs about $10. Don-Jo, 978/422-3377, www.don-jo.com.
Extra Security. If your clients want a door that seals tight and provides heightened security, suggest a model with a multipoint lock. Once reserved for big-dollar patio doors, three-point locks are now showing up on regular doors. Therma-Tru offers a Multi-Point Hardware upgrade on all of its entry doors. The company says multipoint hardware costs about $200 more than conventional lever sets. Therma-Tru, 800/843-7628, www.thermatru.com.

We've seen conversation on EcoGeek lately about tiny electric cars looking and generic non prescription cialis running similar to enclosed motorcycles. Well, a team of high school students from
Using 60 volts from lithium phosphate batteries, the Briggs and Stratton ETEK panckac-style permanent magnetic electric motor can get the little bike up to 60 miles an hour, and it can go about 40 miles on buy levitra professional a charge. It can be recharged in as few as 3 hours. It's a cute little bugger too.The body is carbon fiber and Kevlar composit, and the full seat has a seatbelt for the safety conscious. It looks like it'd take some practice to maneuver it, and we've seen other electric motorcycles that look a little less awkward, but it'd still be fun to genuine viagra for sale try.
The project was to design a highly efficient, environmentally friendly commuter bike with safety features above and beyond what is found on typical motorcycles. It's been a year in the making, with 19 students starting the project last summer. And it looks like their efforts were well worth it. I love this little concept vehicle and the fact that high school students were resourceful and creative – the fact that a high school gets kids doing some hands on thinking is fantastic, and that it is green…well, even better. We love hearing about high school students showing scientists up. Talk about training the next generation of EcoGeeks! All I ever got to design in high school was how to catapult an egg without breaking it...

Ashley Monroe tied the knot with Chicago White Sox pitcher John Danks Thursday at Blackberry Farms in Tennessee. That's the same spot where Kelly Clarkson married with Brandon Blackstock last Sunday.
Ashley tells People , "I married my best friend. He has such a good heart."
Blake Shelton officiated the ceremony, and Miranda Lambert served as maid of honor and wedding planner. Miranda even made some of the wedding décor by hand, and planned out the entire day's schedule.
Says Ashley, "Miranda was the one who cared about all the details!"
Ashley pulled up to the ceremony in a horse-drawn carriage wearing a Haute Hippie gown, while John sported Armani.
"It was magical," Ashley says.
Look for Ashley's wedding pictures to be featured in the next issue of People Country , on stands November 15. She posted a Twitter photo of her engagement ring and wedding band on her finger Friday morning. The caption reads, "I'm MARRIED!!!"

Alachua County
Orange Lake is the largest lake in the North Central Region at 12,550 acres. It is designated as a Fish Management Area and is located about 20 miles southeast of Gainesville. Orange Lake averages 5.5 feet deep with a maximum depth of 12 feet. Water levels fluctuate an average of 2 feet, annually. Outflow is controlled by a fixed-crest weir located at Highway 301 (southeast portion of lake). Orange Lake receives inflow from Newnans Lake through River Styx and from Lochloosa Lake through Cross Creek. Cross Creek (1.8 miles) is navigable to most boats during normal water levels.
Orange lake has an extensive aquatic vegetation community, dominated by spatterdock (lily pads) and periodically hydrilla. Shallow marsh areas are inaccessible to anglers due to the dense growth of vegetation. Bluegill, redear sunfish, black crappie and largemouth bass are generally caught in the deeper spatterdock, emergent grasses and hydrilla.
Marion County and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission allocated funds to establish a fishing pier at Heagy-Burry Park (southwestern part of the lake). The pier is handicap-accessible. A fish attractor is located near the pier, which provides for good fishing.
For updated information please call:South Shore Fish Camp 352-595-4241Sportsman Cove Fish Camp 352-591-1435
The water level on Orange Lake is the highest that it's been since 2006, thanks to the winter and spring rains received throughout north Florida. The lake can now be accessed at either the Heagy-Burry boat ramp or the Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings boat ramp. However, now the concern has shifted to the amount of floating mats and islands that roam around the lake. Some of these islands can be quite large which can potentially block passage through trails and access to boat ramps. Anglers should be mindful of shifting floating islands while on the lake, particularly during windy days. The largemouth bass fishery has declined by the standards set during the 2010-2011 years due to the drought. However, FWC biologists stocked over 100,000 largemouth bass fingerlings in an effort to jump-start the fishery and rebuild the population faster than it would normally build with natural reproduction alone. With fast growth rates, these bass may be catchable as early as next year. Orange Lake can also be a fine destination for those searching for bream and black crappie. Bluegill and redear sunfish will spawn through September with peaks in spawning activity during the full moons. Anglers should look for bedding bluegill and redear sunfish in shallow water areas throughout the lake. Black crappie can also be caught along with bluegill and redear sunfish. Grass shrimp is your best choice for bait.
