What is the first book in the Bible?

PHOENIX (BP)--Opponents of medicinal marijuana often have said legalizing its medical use will only lead to decriminalizing its recreational use, and this year they say they have proof.
While voters in Arizona and South Dakota will consider initiatives on Election Day that would legalize medicinal marijuana, California voters -- where medical marijuana already is legal -- will decide whether to legalize the recreational use of pot when they vote on Proposition 19.
And that may just be the beginning. In 2012, several states, including Colorado, Nevada and Washington state, may have initiatives on the ballot to legalize marijuana's recreational use. The three states are among the 14 where its medicinal use is legalized. It also is legal in the District of Columbia.
"States that pass medical marijuana laws need to understand that they have chosen a path that will lead relentlessly to the complete decriminalization of marijuana," Barrett Duke, vice president for public policy and research for the Southern Baptist Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission, told Baptist Press. "The medical marijuana issue is simply the wedge that cracks open the door. Once the public has accepted the idea of the legal use of marijuana, the groups favoring decriminalization know that it is just a matter of time before they achieve their objective."
Whatever happens in California on Election Day, the taboo over marijuana possession already has lessened. Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger recently signed a bill reducing possession of small amounts of marijuana from a misdemeanor to an infraction, putting it on par with a speeding ticket with a $100 fine. Schwarzenegger defended signing the bill by saying marijuana possession already was an "infraction in everything but name," but critics said the new law sends the wrong message about pot and will prevent judges from having the opportunity to send users to rehab.
The debate in Arizona is on Prop 203, which would allow individuals -- with a doctor's permission -- to acquire marijuana from dispensaries. They must first register with the Arizona Department of Health Services, which is on record as opposing the initiative.
In South Dakota, voters will consider a similar proposal, Initiated Measure 13, which would require individuals to have a doctor's permission and to register with the South Dakota Department of Health. The individual would be able to grow the marijuana or designate someone else to grow it. That designated person, too, must register with the department of health.
It's not the first time either state has considered medicinal marijuana.
Arizona voters approved an initiative in 1996 but saw it blocked by the state legislature, and then passed another one in 1998 but saw it halted by the federal government because the proposal required doctors to write a prescription for marijuana; the federal Drug Enforcement Administration threatened to revoke prescription-writing privileges of doctors who did so. States with medicinal marijuana laws avoid federal intervention by having doctors write a "recommendation," which doesn't carry the same weight as a prescription.
South Dakota voters in 2006 became the first and still only state to defeat a medicinal marijuana initiative. The vote was close.
In addition to the argument that it will lead to the legalization of pot's recreational use, opponents of the initiatives in Arizona and South Dakota have made several other arguments about medicinal marijuana:
-- Its legalization is unnecessary because an FDA-approved drug, dronabinol (sold as Marinol), contains THC, the primary psychoactive chemical in marijuana.
-- It remains illegal under the federal Controlled Substances Act.
-- It will lead to an increase in marijuana usage, even among teens.
-- Researchers in New Zealand found in 2009 that smoking just one marijuana joint is as harmful to the body as smoking 20 cigarettes.
Opponents also say the law will be abused, and they point to other states where medicinal marijuana is legal. California's law -- the first of its kind when it passed in 1996 -- lists a series of specific ailments that can be aided by medicinal marijuana and then adds a giant loophole allowing medicinal marijuana usage for "any other illness for which marijuana provides relief." Marijuana is easily accessible in California, even for those who are not experiencing severe pain, experts in the state say.
Montana has seen significant abuse of its law that went into effect in 2004. Between 2008 and 2010, the number of citizens registered to use medicinal marijuana jumped from 842 to nearly 20,000, the Associated Press reported. Montana had a total population of 974,989 in 2009, the U.S. Census Bureau estimated.
Just as troubling: 25 percent of medicinal marijuana users in Montana are between the ages of 21 and 30, and Missoula and Bozeman -- both home to universities -- have the highest percentage of users, AP reported. More than 13,000 people list "severe chronic pain" as the reason they use it. The Census Bureau estimated Bozeman and Missoula had a combined population less than 100,000 in 2006.
"We heard a lot from Montana [where medical marijuana is legal] that involve a lot of issues where crimes have gone up," Art Mabry, president of the South Dakota Police Chiefs Association, told AP. "Just the way the whole process is run indicates it's not being used just for medical marijuana. It's a scam to legally get marijuana."
In Arizona, the state Association of Chiefs of Police has gone on record as opposing Prop 203, saying "drug abuse and crime go hand in hand."
"Marijuana is currently the leading cause of substance dependence other than alcohol in the U.S. and legalization will increase the numbers of both users and abusers," the statement read. "The incidence of drug-impaired driving will also increase if marijuana is legalized for so-called medical purposes, making an already significant problem worse."
Duke, the Southern Baptist policy expert, warned that the combination of "legality and familiarity" with medicinal marijuana "will lead to its greater acceptance by the public."
"The result is that more people, especially youth, will be emboldened to use the drug," Duke said. "Many of these people will pay a terrible price as their drug habits consume their lives and their futures. My heart aches for the millions of parents who will suffer countless years being brokenhearted over the drug abuse problems of a child who believed society's lax attitude toward the drug suggested that it was safe."
Duke added, "I recognize that there appear to be some legitimate uses for marijuana, like with appetite enhancement and glaucoma treatment. But the proponents of medical marijuana want it available for a much wider range of uses, many of which the drug is only minimally useful at treating. This does not deter them, however. Without qualified medical data or any rigorous studies about the negative effects of marijuana on users, they are determined to play on the sympathies of voters to gain their prize.
"Those who see the bleak future that will follow on the heels of medical marijuana must redouble their efforts to prevent this misguided attempt to bring marijuana into the mainstream of American life."

Gorgeous rooms!
And LOVE the carpet in the first pic...
Does anyone know where the coffee tables in the first picture are from or where similar coffee tables could be purchased?
Stark also sells the furnishings, and I believe, the coffee tables pictured.
Love the stuff, do not have the wallet.
Buyer beware! Stark has a great reputation but is know for dumping low quality rugs at their warehouse sale.

A series of attacks on the east side of St. Paul have many people wondering how the authorities will respond, but the mother of a suspect in the near-fatal beating of Ray Widstrand is starting with an apology to the community.
The son of Teena Potts made his first court appearance on Wednesday, and his mother told FOX 9 News he should take responsibility for his actions if he was involved in the beating last Sunday.
"I think about the man every day and pray for a miracle for him to come out of the condition that he's in," Potts told FOX 9 News. "I just want to say I'm sorry if it is the case of how it actually happened."
Potts said her heart goes out to Widstrand's family, but for her family's sake, she also hopes prosecutors won't certify her 15-year-old son as an adult.
"This has been stressful," Potts said. "This has been a parent's worst nightmare."
Potts told FOX 9 News her son has been in trouble before for petty theft, but never anything violent. Now, he is charged with aggravated assault, robbery and committing a crime for the benefit of a gang -- but she doesn't believe her son is a gang member.
"My prayers go out to [the Widstrand] family," Potts said. "I just pray for everyone during this tough time and that we can all get through this."
As the case moves forward in the courts, Potts said the Widstrands aren't the only family in danger of losing a loved one.
"I know the family feels like they lost a person. I also feel like I'm losing someone too -- my child," she said. "It's a hard time for all of us that are involved in this situation."
Her son is one of four teenagers arrested along with Issac Maiden, accused of attacking Widstrand as he tried to walk through a group of 30 to 40 young people who were fighting in the street.
The attack outraged people living in the area as well as city leaders. On Wednesday, St. Paul Mayor Chris Coleman called for more police in the area during his annual budget address.
"We have to have an immediate increase in police presence on the east side to deal with these incidents of too many gangs and too many youth running around causing trouble," he said.
City Councilman Dan Bostrom represents the ward where Widstrand was assaulted, and he said something must be done.
"This kind of stuff can't be tolerated and it simply can't go on," he said.
According to Bostrom, the beating and the shooting death of a young man during a fight between rival gangs near Payne and Case last month has neighbors on edge about roaming gangs of young people.
"The only thing they understand is if you take firm action and say, 'This stuff is over and it's not going to happen in this city,'" Bostrom said.
City leaders plan to attend a community meeting at Arlington Hills Lutheran Church to talk about the recent violence on Thursday night at 6:30 p.m.

3 Dividend Stocks To Buy Now
Richard is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Granted, a premium will always be placed on growth stocks. This will never change. However, in schizophrenic markets as we experienced in 2012, dividend payers made risk management much easier. For many investors, a dividend check was the difference between holding stocks through the fiscal cliff dilemma or opting to cut losses and moving on. In 2013, here are three names to consider that offer that income safety net, which is yet underappreciated in highly volatile markets.
Oracle (NYSE: ORCL) – Yield 0.70%
Aside from being a dominant tech power that is positioned for sustained growth, Oracle also proved that it is a savvy dividend payer. As the fiscal cliff increased the urgency with which many companies worked to minimize the tax damage, Oracle took it a step further by accelerating its next three dividend payments into one check. Was it extreme – yes.
However, Oracle can't be faulted for having done this. Shareholders were going to get the money anyways. It just arrived sooner. In this case, the company considered the interest of its shareholders. In my opinion, that's a good thing. But there are other reasons to love Oracle. The company continues to see increased demand for its products and services - particularly in the areas of the cloud, which recently produced $222 million in revenue.
Better still, Oracle consistently demonstrates that it is able to grow where rivals can't. For instance, in its latest quarter, the database giant posted an 18% year-over-year increase in net income – reaching $2.6 billion, or 53 cents per share. Revenue grew 3% to $9.1 billion – exceeding Street estimates by $900 million. However, the most impressive aspect of the report was the 17% surge in the company's Software licenses and subscriptions business.
Likewise, the company showed strong growth in its Internet-based software, which competes head-on with Salesforce.com in that all-important Software as a Service (SaaS) business – an area which Oracle expects to generate more than $1 billion in revenue this year. Even though the stock is now at its 52-week high, it remains a strong buy as it heads to $40. Unfortunately, investors will just have to wait a bit longer for that next dividend check.
Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) – Yield 1.90%
As the fiscal cliff prompted over 120 companies to pay a special dividend, there were others such as Apple that resisted the temptation. Essentially, the company said it had better plans for its cash. As a leader in a growing tech industry, this is precisely what investors should want to hear. I was wrong. Investor complaints got loud and (at times) vile. But we can't have it both ways.
Investors have an insatiable appetite for growth. But it comes at a cost. And over the past couple of years, Apple has exceeded the level of growth that Wall Street demands. However, for this to continue, the company can't just appease shareholders with cash whenever it is demanded – not with Google and Microsoft doing everything possible to put it out of business.
Despite all of this, at 1.90% Apple pays one of the best yields on the market. Although this is an excellent reason to invests, the company's consistent execution is even better. Despite growing pessimism about its growth momentum, Apple's most recent quarter told a different story, during which revenues soared 27% with 23% increase in profits.
Remarkably, the company's Q1 report, which is due out in a couple of weeks, is expected to blow the doors off even the most bullish estimates. Despite what analysts are saying, investors should ignore the noise. Shares should regain the $600 range following the Q1 report and reach $650 to $725 by the end of the second quarter.
Cisco (NASDAQ: CSCO) – Yield 2.80%
Aside from being one of my top breakout stocks in 2013, with a 2.80% yield, Cisco was already one of the best dividend payers on the market. Remarkably, despite the company's massive size, Cisco still appears more nimble than its rivals as it got its fiscal 2013 started on the right foot with its seventh consecutive earnings beat.
The network giant posted net income of $2.6 billion, or 48 cents per share on revenues of $11.9 billion. Not only did this represent 6% revenue growth, but net income surged 11% as profitability continues to improve. Likewise, Cisco managed to advance gross margins sequentially by roughly half of a point – exceeding expectations.
That operating income surged 20% means that management's efforts to reorganize received validation. This helped raise the company's capital position to $45 billion - the same cash used to buy growth, which included 9 cloud-based M&A acquisitions last year. For that matter, the company's cash position alone makes the stock undervalued by at least 20% when applying a modest 3 to 4% in free cash flow projections.
Also, with a strong balance sheet, respectable yield and very limited downside risk, Cisco will prove to be one of 2013's top stories. At minimum, $25 seems a fair valuation for the stock. That said, $30 remains a realistic target based on cash flow sales trends, which includes 22% aggregate growth in services.

I've been checking the mail everyday and was so excited when it came today. After an 80 mile ride in 100 degree weather I didn't want to think about riding my bike for a while. But, trying on this jersey and I got the skins bib too I felt like I was ready to go do some more miles. But I'll wait and show it off this weekend. It fits like a glove and love the seamless arm look reminds me of the team Sky jersey. I love the little shiny material too. Since I live in the desert I thought that this black might be a bit too much but there is a lot of ventilation in the back and feels really light. I bought an Adidas outfit and had problems with the jersey, just a weird size, the jersey was way too big, so I bought a medium jersey and bib in the Skins, I'm 6'4 and a 180lbs and this fit perfect, I will definitely recommend this jersey and the bib and I will be buying more of the skins wear for this coming winter. ProbikeKit is awesome and the prices are much cheaper than buying at stores or webistes here in the US. I don't mind waiting a bit longer coz it's worth it.

Inexplicably Learn Tango Above a Small Accordion Shop in Atwater Village
by Phil Warren
It so happened on this first night I meandered into Dave's Accordion School, 1/2 a mile from my apartment. Seeing as last month's challenge to learn a new skill had brought an accordion into my arms, this seemed as good a jumping off point as any.
I was greeted by the titular Dave, who had an impressive arsenal of squeezeboxes on display. Accordions from all over the world covered every available inch of the store, yet had obviously been placed with a meticulous care. Dave explained that he'd been playing since he was 9, and had started in this business when he was 26. The store has now been running for 40 years, and is going strong, offering lessons AND the only competent accordion repair in LA county. Dave did not inform me of this last bit, but a woman on the pier had mentioned him on Sunday.
When I told Dave I was interested in learning French waltzes, he sat down and began playing party of a waltz. However, the door swung open mid-song, and Dave caught the eye of a gentleman who walked in and transitioned into a bold Latin American tango, then slowly began to weave in a more European theme. Well, rather than me explain it to you, see for yourself.

After last week's WNBA draft, South Bend can now call itself "Home of WNBA Superstar Skylar Diggins"
Tuesday, Diggins returned home for the end of the season Notre Dame women's basketball award banquet.
It was a very special night over at the Joyce Center for a rather emotional Skylar Diggins. Over 1000 fans were there to say one last goodbye to say South Bend's own and take pictures and get autographs from the future WNBA star.
When Diggins's moment came to give her farewell speech, it was those same fans that she thanked for being there to watch her grow into Notre Dame's all-time leading scorer.
"Thank you Notre Dame fans, who are the best fans in the land," said Diggins. "These last four years are something I'll never forget. They're something that will stick with me. It's just so special to share these moments with guys. Thank you so much for that. I love you and Go Irish!"
Diggins first game with the Tulsa Shock will be Thurs. May 9th.

By Nancy J. Chodorow. New Haven, Conn., Yale University Press, 1999, 328 pp., $35.00; $17.95 (paper).
Nancy Chodorow is a practicing psychoanalyst and a professor of sociology at the University of California, Berkeley. Her writing has enriched many fields, including but not at all limited to feminism and the study of gender. I had looked at Chodorow's The Reproduction of Mothering(1) many years ago and, more recently, while studying gender and sexuality, was referred by a colleague to Chodorow's article, "Heterosexuality as a Compromise Formation" (2); I found that so refreshing, useful at many levels, and relatively free of reductionism, that I promptly began to look for other things Chodorow has published.
She has in her career leaned back and forth between the individual and the general, the psychoanalytic and the cultural, usually with a highly educated "both-and" stance. Her current book, The Power of Feelings, is a creative addition to our psychosocial education. Any psychiatrist reasonably interested in whole biopsychosocial people ought to be at least somewhat educated in psychoanalysis, sociology, and anthropology, yet few of us have the energy to keep up with all that. Where to begin? How to keep up? For many psychiatrists, psychologists, and social workers, Chodorow is an efficient entrance into, and a good reviewer of, some of these areas and their interactions.
The Power of Feelings may strike some conservative analysts as eccentric, because anthropologically informed analytic writing has not been a major recent tradition, and perhaps because Chodorow does not pay balanced historical survey attention to all the usual major players and schools in 20th-century psychoanalysis. I think in The Power of Feelings she builds particularly on Loewald, Erikson, Klein, and Winnicott, in addition to Freud, and she reminds us of, or introduces us to, Mead, Benedict, Lewis, Bateson, Roheim, Kardiner, Geertz, Lutz, and Rosaldo.
Chodorow begins by calling her book "a contribution to our understanding of individual subjectivity. It is an argument for the existence of an irreducible realm of psychological life in which we create unconscious personal meaning in the experiential immediacy of the present." "Meaning as we experience it comes always both from without and from within." "Neither the intrapsychic nor the interpersonal past on the one hand, nor the culturally given, on the other, fully determines meaning and experience." "I am quite critical of the cultural determinisms found in much academic social science."
Part 1 of the book, with much attention to transference, projection, introjection, and fantasy, puts forth a reading of psychoanalysis as "a theory of personal meaning of the power of feelings expressed and created in the clinical encounter." It includes a chapter on the anxieties and tensions of combining present and past. Part 2 "brings this reading to bear on questions of gender." She argues that "feelings and categories of gender and self are created both culturally, in historicized, socially specific contexts, and at the same time biographically, through individually specific projective and introjective fantasy and emotion." "Each person's sense of gender is an individual creation." "Feminism recognizes differences but it defines them politically." "Like much of academic psychology, and virtually all of popular psychology, the psychoanalytic literature has tended to overgeneralize, to oppose all men to all women." "A first challenge for psychoanalysts…must be to assume that gender and sexuality are as interesting and new as everything else we observe clinically and theorize about." "All the gender identifications and fantasies I describe are both cultural and personal."
Part 3 leaves gender behind and takes on considerations of culture and psyche more broadly. Part 4 returns to part 1 with attempts at a broad synthesis, paying attention to current academic skepticism about broad syntheses and grand theory. Chodorow is helpful and complex about synthesizing, and pointedly wary of both purely clinical explanations and universalist claims.
The book is not without some occasional redundancy, but overall it is psychologically and socioculturally adventurous and efficient. Chodorow enriches what she touches.

Join TSN in a 30 teams in 30 days tour of the NHL in preparation for the upcoming season. Teams will be unveiled in reverse order of the pre-season TSN.ca Power Rankings, and the New York Islanders are up next at No. 28. Get the lowdown on their off-season, the issues they face this season, and Scott Cullen's fantasy analysis. Use the Your Call feature to give us your take on the Islanders!
2008-09: 26-47-9 (15th in the East – Out of Playoffs)
Pre-Season TSN.ca Power Ranking: 28th
General Manager: Garth Snow (3rd Season)
Head Coach: Scott Gordon (2nd Season)
What They Did In The Off-Season:
The Islanders took a big step in the right direction when they chose centre John Tavares first overall at the NHL Entry Draft in June. The team then solidified their goaltending situation by signing two of the top netminders available on the free agent market. Dwayne Roloson and Martin Biron will compete for the No. 1 role on Long Island as incumbent Rick DiPietro continues to recover from knee injuries.
Biggest Issue Facing The Team:
For the first time in years, there are reasons for optimism on Long Island. New York's "other" team suffered through a horrendous season that saw them finish dead last in the NHL with a mere 61 points. Meanwhile, the face of the franchise - netminder Rick DiPietro - was lost for the season (and quite likely much longer) with the umpteenth knee injury of his career. There were plenty of questions raised regarding the viability of the franchise after owner Charles Wang revealed the staggering financial losses he had suffered since acquiring the team in 2000. Wang said he regretted buying the team in the first place and threatened to move the franchise to Kansas City. All in all, just another dismal year to be an Islanders fan.
But all of that changed on June 26, when the Isles used their first overall draft pick to select the player they feel will lead them out of the doldrums and into a brighter future - John Tavares.
Tavares' scoring exploits are common knowledge to hockey fans. He was named the CHL Rookie of the Year in 2006 after breaking in at the age of 15. He broke Wayne Gretzky's mark for goals by a 16-year-old with 72 and was named CHL Player of the Year in 2007. He has twice helped to lead Canada to gold medals at the World Juniors and broke Peter Lee's 33-year-old OHL record with 215 career goals. In short, Tavares is as close to a can't miss prospect as you can get.
That being said, Isles fans should not start planning the Stanley Cup parade anytime soon. The team's scoring depth, for one thing, is woefully thin. Defenceman Mark Streit led the team last season with 56 points. Rookie Kyle Okposo finished a distant second with 39 points and a team-leading 18 goals. To put that in perspective, seven members of last season's Eastern Conference-leading Boston Bruins scored at least that many.
There is simply a lack of NHL level talent on the forward unit. If the team decides to stack the top line with Tavares, Okposo and veteran Doug Weight, the remaining three lines will be a collection of untested prospects and professional journeymen. The one upside of this is that it means the future is now for players like Tavares, Okposo and Josh Bailey. They will be force-fed with ice time and will be given every opportunity to prove the franchise's faith in them.
The Isles may not compete for a playoff spot this year, but giving their young prospects an opportunity to develop at the NHL level, paired with another likely high draft pick, means that brighter days should be ahead. At this point, that's something that the team's long suffering fans would welcome.
Player To Watch:
Perhaps this should be 'player to not watch' - because with the signings of Martin Biron and Dwayne Roloson, it seems like the Isles are preparing for the possibility that Rick DiPietro will not see the ice this season.
While it's difficult to feel sorry for a multi-millionaire athlete who is set for life (thanks to a 15-year contract signed three years ago), you do have to wonder if 'Slick Rick' isn't cursed. Multiple knee and hip injuries, along with reported concussion problems, have sidetracked what appeared to be a very promising career. His most recent knee injury limited him to only five games last season and virtually sunk the Islanders entire campaign before it began.
To their credit, the club was proactive in the off-season in seeking insurance for their lineup. General manager Garth Snow, a former goalie himself, went out and signed two of the top three available free-agent netminders in Roloson and Biron. Both players are signed to short-term contracts and each has been a No. 1 goaltender before. The competition should be fierce, as both men look to prove that they should be considered the No. 1 man between the pipes this season. That particular battle should allow a young Islanders team to at least remain competitive this season as they build towards the future.
Scott Cullen's Fantasy Take:
Surely, if there is to be any great hoopla about any New York Islander for fantasy will be on first overall draft pick John Tavares, the junior scoring sensation.
While Tavares could prove to be a big-time scorer, expectations have to be held in check as he joins a team with a marginal supporting cast and Tavares' game generally requires someone to get him the puck rather than dangling on an end-to-end rush. As such, Tavares will be much more valuable long-term for those in keeper leagues, but his immediate value this season isn't likely to warrant early fantasy selection.

downloaded and tried out Zero Assumption Recovery. To my amazement, it
was able to access my inaccessible hard drive.

Art Intimates Life in Academy Doc Series
Beverly Hills, CA (October 26, 2010) – "Tell Them Anything You Want: A Portrait of Maurice Sendak" and "The Beaches of Agnès" will screen as the next installment in the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences' 29th annual "Contemporary Documentaries" series on Wednesday, November 3, at 7 p.m. at the Linwood Dunn Theater in Hollywood. Admission to all screenings in the series is free.
In "Tell Them Anything You Want: A Portrait of Maurice Sendak," directors Lance Bangs and Spike Jonze paint a poignant portrait of children's writer and illustrator Maurice Sendak. From early sketches to his most celebrated book, Where the Wild Things Are, the short film reveals the provocative imagination that has spawned creative works for more than 50 years. "Tell Them Anything You Want" was produced by Perry Moore, Hunter Hill, Allison Sarofim and Vincent Landay. Bangs will be present to take questions from the audience following the screening.
Directed and produced by Agnès Varda, "The Beaches of Agnès" is a richly cinematic self-portrait that reflects on art, life and the movies. The documentary feature touches on everything from the feminist movement to the Black Panthers to the films of Varda's husband, Jacques Demy, to the birth of the French New Wave.
The 29th annual "Contemporary Documentaries" series continues through November 17, showcasing feature-length and short documentaries drawn from the 2009 Academy Award® nominations, including the winners, as well as other important and innovative films considered by the Academy that year.
All films will screen at the Linwood Dunn Theater at the Academy's Pickford Center for Motion Picture Study on Wednesdays at 7 p.m. Doors open at 6 p.m. All seating is unreserved. The filmmakers will be present at screenings whenever possible.
The Linwood Dunn Theater is located at 1313 Vine Street in Hollywood. Free parking is available through the entrance on Homewood Avenue (one block north of Fountain Avenue). For additional information, visit www.oscars.org or call (310) 247-3600.

Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.
Deep color. The nose is very concentrated, super-ripe wine with blackcurrant pastille, mulberry, liquorice, aniseed aromas.

November 2006 Sky from the Keeble Observatory
Five centuries ago, a Polish monk named Nicolas Copernicus started a revolution.
In De revolutionibus orbium coelestrium – On the Revolution of the Celestial Spheres
– he moved the Earth from its presumed place at the center of creation. Rather,
his model placed the Sun at the center, with the planets (including Earth) on circular
courses about that center. The planets known to him were Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter,
and Saturn, with Mercury and Venus closer to the Sun, the others' orbits beyond
that of Earth.
Those orbits lie close to a plane in space called the ecliptic, which actually marks
the plane of Earth's orbit, but they are all inclined slightly to our orbit. For
the outer planets, this means that when on the far side of the Sun, they are seldom
in a direct line behind the Sun, but can be slightly above or below. When most directly
opposite earth, we say that they are in conjunction; when most directly opposite
the Sun as seen from Earth, we say that they are in opposition. For the inner planets,
which can never be at opposition, we have two conjunctions: inferior, when on the
same side of the Sun as Earth, and superior, when on the other side. The tilt of
the orbit likewise means that it is rare for the planet to be directly in front
or behind the Sun.
When Mercury or Venus actually passes in front of the Sun at inferior conjunction,
we call that event a transit. Venus, whose orbit is inclined 3.4 degrees to the
ecliptic undergoes transits rarely. The particulars of its orbit cause pairs of
transits, separated by about 8 years, with the pairs separated by over a century.
There have been only seven transits of Venus since the invention of the telescope!
The most recent was in 2004, and the next is in 2012.
Mercury orbits the Sun in a mere 88 days, in an orbit inclined by about 7 degrees.
While favorable alignments are, in principle, rare events, the short period of the
orbit means that we have about 13 transits per century. The next one is November
8 – and it should be observable from Central Virginia, starting at 2:12 pm EST.
It will cross the Sun from the lower left quadrant to the upper right, though the
transit will end after sunset.
Now, some serious cautions: Do not look directly at the Sun! In fact, because Mercury
is almost 200 times smaller than the Sun, your only hope of seeing anything is with
a telescope with appropriate solar filters and a magnification of 50-100. Binoculars
won't help, nor will the usual technique of making a pinhole camera. The early stages
of the transit can be observed from the Keeble Observatory, so we will open for
public viewing at 2:00 pm on Wednesday 2006 November 8. We'll likely lose the Sun
in the trees by 3:30.
For further information about this transit and about transits in general, NASA's
Goddard Space Flight Center has a web page at
Lunar phases for November: Full Moon at 7:58 am, on the 5th; Last
Quarter on the 12th, at 12:45 pm; New Moon on the 20th, at 5:18 pm, and First Quarter
on the 28th, at 1:19 am.
Saturn rises about an hour after midnight, so is a prime candidate for pre-dawn
viewing. Look for it high to the south-southeast before sunrise. By month's end,
it will be rising before midnight. Mercury and Jupiter return to the early morning
sky. Late in the month look for Mercury rising about an hour before the Sun, with
Jupiter following about a half-hour later. If you have a clear view to the southeast,
look for Mercury 15 degrees from the horizon, with Jupiter bright and below that.
Jupiter and Mercury are both going through conjunction with the Sun this month.
Mercury on the 8th will be at inferior conjunction (between Earth and Sun), while
Jupiter will line up on the far side of the Sun on the 21st. As indicated above,
Mercury will transit the visible face of the Sun, starting about 2:15 pm on the
Looking toward zenith two hours after sunset at mid-month, we find the Milky Way
dividing the sky roughly northeast to southwest. The bright stars that were almost
directly overhead last month have now shifted to the west. Deneb is about 20 degrees
from zenith, and Vega is another 20 degrees below that. In binoculars or a small
telescope, you can see a few modestly bright stars in the vicinity of Vega. About
2 degrees above and to the left lies epsilon Lyrae, also known as the "double double."
This is a pair of closely spaced binaries – with a modest telescope you may be able
to resolve the narrow pairs, but binoculars should allow you to see the wider pairing.
Sweeping about 6 degrees to the left of Vega, you will see two stars, separated
by about 2 degrees, one above and slightly to the left of the other. A little less
than halfway between these two stars lies the Ring Nebula. This is the remnant of
a star once much like the Sun which has ejected its outer layers. It's a challenging
target to find when skies are hazy or if the Moon is out, but it's worth the effort.
If we turn our attention east of zenith, we find that Andromeda is now high above
the horizon. Locate Cassiopeia's familiar W shape to the northeast, now tipped on
its "left side." Follow a line through those two stars, upward and to the right,
and you'll find the faint patch of the Andromeda Galaxy, some 2 million light years

The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors has advanced a $2.2 billion budget proposal that would lower spending, reduce taxes and increase employee pay.
Arizona's most populous county plans to decrease its spending by $82.4 million next year. The proposed budget also includes the first employee pay increase in five years. The county employs about 13,000 people.
County officials say the budget will likely result in a modest property tax decrease for local homeowners.
The largest share of the budget will continue to go toward Sheriff Joe Arpaio.
