- In the phrase to out-herod Herod, to be more violent than Herod (as represented in the old mystery plays); hence, to exceed in any excess of evil.
Herod refers to 'Herod the Great,' a Roman client king and 'a madman who murdered his own family and a great many rabbis.' According to the OED, the term is 'chiefly with allusion to Shakespeare's use' in Hamlet.

Even when it's working well, the Netgear R8000 Nighthawk X6 AC3200 Tri-Band Gigabit Wireless Router has nothing to justify its expensive price tag.
If you have a Thunderbolt-enabled computer, the Promise Pegasus R6's storage capacity, its features, and especially its performance are worth the hefty investment for those who demand fast external storage.
Convertible modes can be hyperbolic, but the new hinge on the Acer Aspire R 13 gives more credibility than usual to its claim of six modes of use.
If you're looking for comfortable in-ear headphones with very plump bass, the Klipsch R6i model will do it, but they're also short on detail and clarity.
CNET editor Dong Ngo finds the Netgear R8000 Nighthawk X6 Wi-Fi router a hefty investment that doesn't return much, yet he gets one anyway.
If you like bass, you'll like Klipsch's new $100 in-ear headphones. And if you like a lot of bass, you may love them.
CNET editor Dong Ngo reviews the Promise Pegasus R6, the first Thunderbolt-enabled storage device.
Only for Mac users who can afford it, the Thunderbolt-based Pegasus R6 is by far the fastest storage device for consumer, to date. And it's really cool, too.
That's literally half the price of a new one. Could this "experimental" laptop be right for you?

20 U.S. Code § 107d - Expenditures
(a) Personal services, rent, printing, etc.
The Secretary is authorized to make such expenditures out of any money appropriated therefor (including expenditures for personal services and rent at the seat of government and elsewhere, books of reference and periodicals, for printing and binding, and for traveling expenses) as he may deem necessary to carry out the provisions of this chapter.
Source(June 20, 1936, ch. 638, § 4, formerly § 5,49 Stat. 1560; 1946 Reorg. Plan No. 2, § 6, eff. July 16, 1946, 11 F.R. 7873, 60 Stat. 1095; 1953 Reorg. Plan No. 1, §§ 5, 8, eff.

The content of Pub. L. 93–516, including provisions of sections 206 and 208(d) thereof which amended and renumbered this section, were originally contained in H.R. 14225, 93rd Congress, Second Session, which was pocket-vetoed during the 31-day intrasession adjournment of the 93rd Congress for the Congressional elections in November, 1974.

Pursuant to an order of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia (Kennedy v.

Therefore, for purposes of codification, this section should be deemed to have been amended and renumbered by Pub. L. 93–651, title II, §§ 206, 208(d),Nov. 21, 1974, 89 Stat. 2–11, 2–14, in exactly the same manner as it was amended and renumbered by Pub. L. 93–516.

Against Mr. Gold's wishes, Belle goes after Hook and the shawl. She manages to discover Hook's ship, The Jolly Roger, floating invisibly on the Storybrooke docks and steps aboard. She finds Archie and sets him free, then goes looking for the shawl. She finds it, in Hook's hand! He chases after her, but once again Mr. Gold is there, and this time gets his hands, or, well, cane, on Hook. He's ready to rip the pirate's heart out, but Belle stops him. Maybe she really has made him a better man. Gold tells Hook to sail away or he WILL kill him. Then he and Belle head for the town line. Gold enchants the shawl and steps over the line. But just as he does, Hook appears with a gun and shoots Belle in the stomach, sending her teetering over the town line. The magic takes hold and she forgets everything about her real identity. Mr. Gold is heartbroken and furious and prepares to hurl a magic fireball at Hook when a car comes down the road from outside of town and hits Hook before crashing! Someone from the outside world has found Storybrooke!

Winona State Safety and Security
At WSU, we watch out for one another. But we realize that a safe, secure campus isn't achieved through good intentions alone. WSU has plans and measures in place and is prepared to protect its students, faculty and staff, and its property.
WSU Campus Security is staffed with approximately 60 students security guards led by three full-time personnel who have a combined 75 years of law enforcement experience. Campus security is just a phone call away: ext. 5555.
Once in a while professors cancel classes or the university might close campus until dangerous weather blows over. When in doubt, look over the Severe Weather Notification Plan, which posts up-to-date campus and class cancellation statuses on inclement days.
Members of the WSU community are encouraged to register for Star Alert, an emergency notification service that sends emergency-only messages via text messaging and email during emergencies that threaten life or severely impact campus operations.

is a comic book by
Charles Forsman
originally released as 16 parts by
Oily Comics
. A paperback collection is forthcoming from
Books, August, 2013.
follows James and Alyssa, two teenagers living a seemingly typical teen experience as they face the fear of coming adulthood. Forsman tells their story through each character's perspective, jumping between points of view with each chapter. But quickly, this somewhat familiar teenage experience takes a more nihilistic turn as James's character exhibits a rapidly forming sociopathy that threatens both of their futures. He harbors violent fantasies and begins to act on them, while Alyssa remains as willfully ignorant for as long as she can, blinded by young love.
Forsman's story highlights the disdain, fear and existential search that many teenagers fear, but through a road trip drama that owes as much to
The Catcher in the Rye
. Forsman's inviting, Charles Schulz-influenced style lends a deadpan quality that underscores the narrative's tension.
The End of the Fucking World
is certain to be one of the most talked-about graphic novels of 2013.
Forsman is arguably the most acclaimed talent to come out of the Center for Cartoon Studies, a school founded in 2004 by graphic novelist James Sturm and educator Michelle Ollie in White River Junction, VT. Forsman graduated in 2008 and is a two-time Ignatz Award-winner for his self-published minicomic,
Snake Oil
The End of the Fucking World

Pump prices are heading higher as Tropical Storm Isaac forces several major refineries along the Gulf Coast to halt production in preparation for high winds and heavy rains.Fear of reduced gasoline supplies sent wholesale gasoline prices up 7.7 cents, or 2.4 percent, to $3.155 per gallon Monday. The average retail price for a gallon of gasoline in the U.S. rose to $3.75 on Monday, and it could pass $3.80 by Labor Day weekend, says Tom Kloza, chief oil analyst at the Oil Price Information Service.Meanwhile, prices in Detroit averaged $3.96 per gallon, nearly 25 cents higher than the national average, according to GasBuddy.com.
Click here to view myFOXDetroit.com's Gas Tracker.Refineries should also escape damage. But refinery owners often shut down operations in advance of a storm. These facilities consume enormous amounts of electric power and generate steam to cook crude oil into gasoline, diesel, jet fuel and heating oil. If a refinery loses power suddenly, operators can't properly clear the partially cooked oil out of pipes, and re-starting the refinery can take several days or even weeks.If refineries instead conduct what is known as an orderly shutdown, they can re-start as soon as the power supply is assured again. The Gulf refineries will likely stay off line for about three days.About 1 million barrels per day of refining capacity is expected to be shut down, roughly half of the refining capacity in the potential path of the storm. The U.S. consumes about 19 million barrels of oil products per day.About one-quarter of the nation's oil is produced in the Gulf of Mexico. As of Monday afternoon, about 80 percent of Gulf oil production was suspended, according to the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement. Companies have evacuated 346 oil and gas production platforms and 41 drilling rigs.

U.S. stocks were trading higher Tuesday, as the Dow Jones Industrial Average recently rose 49 points to 14031, the Standard & Poor's gained 8 points to 1528, and the Nasdaq Composite added 12 points to 3204. Among the companies with shares trading actively in the session are OfficeMax Inc. (OMX), Office Depot Inc. (ODP) and Humana Inc. (HUM).
OfficeMax ($12.93, +$2.18, +20.28%) and Office Depot ($5.02, +$0.43, +9.37%) are in advanced talks to merge, people familiar with the matter said, as the retailers of pens, paper and desks try to fight off tougher competition from rivals such as Staples Inc. (SPLS, $14.20, +$1.25, +9.65%) and Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN, $266.90, +$1.81, +0.68%). Janney expects Staples to emerge as the biggest winner if the two companies merge, however, as it "will gain market share from store closures, a multiyear restructuring and a company overwhelmed by integration initiatives."
Shares of Humana ($72.50, -$5.50, -7.05%) and other major health insurers slid Tuesday in the wake of a government proposal for Medicare Advantage rates in 2014, which analysts said came in worse than expected. Humana shares were hit hard as its business is among the most exposed. UnitedHealth Group Inc. (UNH, $56.31, -$1.01, -1.76%) and Universal American Corp. (UAM, $9.21, -$0.62, -6.31%) were also weighed down by the proposal.
Digital Generation Inc. (DGIT, $6.74, -$2.25, -25.00%) said its review of strategic options, including a possible sale or merger, has ended after it received no formal offers. A special committee for the digital media services company talked to more than 45 potential partners, including competitors, to determine their level of interest in a deal.
Other Stocks to Watch:
Armstrong World Industries Inc.'s (AWI, $54.07, -$2.16, -3.84%) fourth-quarter earnings edged down 1.2% as the flooring and building products maker's revenue slipped and tax expenses rose, though margins improved. Shares dropped after the company predicted 2013 earnings estimates that trailed Street expectations.
Daktronics Inc.'s (DAKT, $11.38, -$1.02, -8.23%) fiscal third-quarter profit rose 63% as the maker of scoreboards, displays and sound systems was helped by a tax benefit and lower expenses, though revenue from several major segments dropped. Results missed expectations.
A four-month march higher last year is all but lost for shares of online health-care benefits distributor eHealth Inc. (EHTH, $15.93, -$3.78, -19.18%) as the stock craters for a second straight day following eHealth's disappointing fourth-quarter report. EHealth bull William Blair today admits the company's Medicare business hasn't kept pace with its "lofty" expectations, and 2013 looks like "more of an investment year," but believes the selloff is overdone.
Elbit Imaging Ltd. (EMITF, $3.19, +$0.86, +36.91%) said it will suspend interest payments to note holders as the real estate company evaluates a possible restructuring. The move comes a day after Elbit, which develops and manages shopping centers and hotels, said it was in negotiations with two of its major note holders to possibly restructure its debt. Among the moves being considered, the company's unsecured debt would be converted into ordinary shares and the secured debt wouldn't be impaired and would continue to be paid.
Financial services company FNB Corp. (FNB, $11.85, -$0.19, -1.58%) agreed to buy PVF Capital Corp. (PVFC, $3.85, +$1.33, +52.78%) in a $106.4 million all-stock deal aimed at expanding its footprint in the Cleveland area. FNB will give PVF shareholders 0.34 shares of FNB stock for each share of PVF stock. The company said this represents a per-share price of $3.98, which is a 58% premium over the company's Friday closing price.
Genuine Parts Co.'s (GPC, $69.17, -$2.27, -3.18%) fourth-quarter earnings rose 19% as the auto-parts distributor reported stronger sales and lower overhead costs. However, revenue came in lower than the company predicted and margins contracted.
Group 1 Automotive Inc.'s (GPI, $61.56, -$5.09, -7.64%) fourth-quarter income sank 18%, as a sharp rise in costs and asset write-downs offset higher revenue. Earnings missed estimates.
Intersil Corp. (ISIL, $8.94, +$0.20, +2.29%) unveiled a restructuring effort that will reduce its global workforce by 18%, as the chip maker looks to cut costs. Intersil--which has about 1,600 employees according to FactSet--said the restructuring plans will be completed during the first quarter and are expected to save about $30 million a year on an operating basis.
Medtronic Inc.'s (MDT, $45.93, -$1.20, -2.54%) fiscal third-quarter earnings rose 5.7%, though its core heart and spinal-product businesses faced continued pressure during the quarter and challenges in cash-strapped European expanded. Revenue came in slightly below estimates.
Perry Ellis International Inc. (PERY, $16.77, -$2.56, -13.24%) projected fiscal fourth-quarter results well below Street expectations and slashed its fiscal-year guidance amid shipment woes during the period.
Red Robin Gourmet Burgers Inc.'s (RRGB, $43.93, +$7.48, +20.51%) fourth-quarter earnings doubled as the casual-dining restaurant chain drew in more customers and benefited from higher average checks. Results easily beat Wall Street expectations.
Regal Entertainment Group (RGC, $15.87, +$0.54, +3.52%) agreed to buy Hollywood Theaters, giving the movie-theater operator an additional 43 locations with 513 screens. The deal is expected to be accretive to earnings and cash flow, Regal said.
Sealed Air Corp. (SEE, $21.75, +$2.35, +12.11%) swung to a better-than-expected fourth-quarter profit as the maker of Bubble Wrap benefited from the sale of its Diversey Japan business and margins edged higher.
Discovery Group I LLC disclosed a 5.3% stake in Velti PLC (VELT, $4.16, +$0.14, +3.36%), saying it believes the mobile marketing advertising company's share price doesn't adequately reflect the potential value of the company's business and assets. Velti provides mobile marketing and advertising technology for advertising agencies, mobile operators and media companies.
Wolverine World Wide Inc. (WWW, $45.25, +$2.35, +5.48%) swung to a fourth-quarter loss as the shoe company was hit by a large acquisition-related charge; however, revenue jumped amid growth across all of Wolverine's brands and core earnings sharply beat Wall Street estimates.

Kids who set fires. Kids with sexually aggressive behavior. Kids with both developmental disabilities and mental health problems. Those were the kinds of children that Myra Alfreds, M.S.W., and her team in White Plains, NY, set out to help.
Children's Mental Health Services at the Westchester County Department of Community Mental Health received a 6-year Comprehensive Community Mental Health Services Program for Children and Their Families grant from SAMHSA's Center for Mental Health Services (CMHS) in 1999. (See Coordinating Care for Children with Serious Mental Health Challenges.)
"The grant allowed us to work with children with serious emotional and behavioral problems at the highest end of need, children who had before that time been referred to residential treatment," explained Ms. Alfreds, who is the Director of the program.
A system of care called the Westchester Community Network was the result of that grant. The Network serves families who require help from more than one system or agency. At the system's heart are networks in 10 of the county's communities.
These networks bring together families, service providers, and anyone else a family requests to craft individualized plans to meet families' needs.
"A system of care is not a program, a project, or another initiative," Ms. Alfreds explained. "It's a way of doing what you're doing throughout your entire child-serving system in a way that connects everybody."
Throughout the process, the emphasis is on families themselves. Family Ties of Westchester serves families of children with emotional, behavioral, and psychiatric problems. This nonprofit organization operates seven walk-in family resource centers, offers support groups, and provides other support services. Serving as community hubs, the resource centers encourage families who have been past recipients of services to help families just coming into the system.
Westchester County's system of care also encompasses a peer-run support program called Youth Forum, which offers discussion sessions and recreational outings to young adults age 17 to 24.
"This really is a family movement," emphasized Ms. Alfreds. "Our system is completely driven by what families and young people say they need and want."
Although its CMHS funding ended in 2005, Westchester County's system of care is still thriving. The initiative replaced all of its Federal funding with money from the county and state, said Ms. Alfreds.

Animal-World's Featured Pet of the Week: The Parakeet
February 5, 2012 by Jasmine
Filed under All Posts, Featured Pets, Pet Birds
Animal-World's Featured Pet for this week is: The Parakeet!
Most likely, you or someone you know has owned a parakeet! They are one of the more popular of the smaller birds, for many reasons. They can learn to talk and whistle, have a shorter lifespan than many of the larger parrots, and are relatively easy to care for. While working at the pet store, I saw many of these birds come and go to new homes. I enjoyed cleaning their cages every day and whistling along with them!
Parakeets are also called Budgerigars, or Budgies. Their scientific name is Melopsittacus undulatus and they are part of the Psittacidae family. They come in many various color combinations, over 100 actually! This makes for a very interesting and unique looking bird! Their primary colors are green, blue, gray, white, yellow, opaline, and pied. Parakeets in general are usually very affectionate towards their owners (especially if trained while young). They are inexpensive and can be trained to do a multitude of tricks. They do require a lot of interaction because they are very social birds by nature. If you do not think you will have a whole lot of one-on-one time available to be with your bird, you should consider bringing home at least one companion bird as well. They have an average lifespan of 12-14 years with proper care.
The history of the Parakeet begins in Australia. They were first noted by European John Gould in 1865 in his book, "Birds of Australia." These birds are actually part of the parrot family and belonged to a tribe called the Platycercini in Australia. They originate in the desert-like part of central Australia where there is little precipitation. This little to no rain environment has truly helped this bird become hardy! They are also monogamous birds in the wild as well as captivity and so will generally pick a mate for life. Unless of course, their primary mate dies.
Now onto the care and feeding of the Parakeet/Budgerigar. As I stated above, they are relatively inexpensive with fairly easy care requirements. The housing requirements of the parakeet include a roomy cage with plenty of places to climb. A play area that can be put on top of the cage is also a good idea. This will give your parakeet(s) a place to hang out when not in the cage and that helps give more interaction time with you and different scenery to your bird. Include perches and toys/swings/mirrors in the cage. Parakeets also love taking baths, so a bath house or bowl is another good idea. Free-flying time is very important for these birds for both exercise and their mental well-being, so make sure that there is a block of time most days that you can allow them to be out and flying about!
As far as food goes – they need a variety of seeds and fresh foods. A good parakeet seed mix can be bought at local pet stores. Give them fresh fruits and vegetables occasionally as well. However, some food items are not good for them, including cabbage, avocado, green beans, and several others. Good fresh foods for them include Lettuce, carrots, spinach, apples and bananas. Also provide spray millet, cuttle bones (for their beaks) and mineral blocks. Fresh water should be given daily.
Parakeets or budgerigars are pretty hardy birds. They of course can get respiratory illnesses if kept in drafty areas and that is something to watch out for. If you notice them plucking their feathers that is also a sign of a problem. If they are lonely due to not having a companion bird or enough interaction time with you, they can become bored and begin plucking their feathers.
Animal-World's page on Parakeets/Budgerigars is a great place to start reading if you want to familiarize yourself more with these birds!
Jasmine is a team member at Animal-World and has contributed many articles and write-ups.

"Does your parakeet look like the one in the picture? If not, you may be asking "What the heck is a Parakeet?"… Find out here!
Parakeets make great pets – they are small, friendly, playful, and outgoing!
Parakeets are members of the parrot family. Their name actually means "long tail." They are more on the small to medium size for parrots, with long and tapered tails, unlike other parrots who are stockier with more squared tails.
These birds have a lot of energy, and come in a variety of colors. They are naturally flock birds and therefore like to socialize with other birds as well as with people. Because of this and their love for attention, they make great pets and are a very popular bird. There are several types of parakeets available… Read More
Caring For Your Parakeet
Because parakeets are friendly, relatively easy to keep, and inexpensive, they are a popular choice for new and experienced bird owners alike. While they are easy to keep, there are a number of important points to remember when caring for your pet parakeet.
Parakeets are very intelligent and social birds. They need to have direct interaction with you just about every day. At a minimum, this means that you should hold your bird and gently pet it and talk to it lovingly. Try to play with your bird for at least half an hour a day.
Make sure your bird has lots of toys to play with. This is a great way to keep your bird stimulated, and to keep it happy.
Watch for the signs of "bad behavior" (including biting or a general reluctance or resistance in interacting with you). For parakeets, this is often a sign that they are not receiving enough attention or activity. Start to play with your bird a little more, and get a new toy for it.
Make sure your parakeet has a large enough cage. As with most birds, the bigger the cage, the better. In addition, make sure the cage has an adequate number of perches and room for toys.
Parakeets enjoy a varied diet, and it is essential for their continued good health. Traditional birdseed or bird food pellets can be the backbone of your parakeet's diet, but include small pieces of fruit as a treat from time to time. Just make sure to remove the fruit from the bird's cage if it isn't eaten within a few hours. You can also give them occasional "birdie treats" that are sold at most pet food stores.
Be gentle. Remember that your parakeet is a small animal, and that being grabbed can be scary to it or could injure it. For this reason, some parakeet owners have had great success with cages that have a top or side that opens completely, so that they don't have to remove their bird through a small cage door.
Teach your bird to perch on your finger. This takes time and patience, but it can become a great way to interact with your bird.
Make sure to keep your cage in an area of your home that doesn't get too cold. Parakeets don't do well and can get sick unless the temperature is above 70 degrees. Also, keep them away from fans, windows, air conditioners, or anywhere else there might be a draft.
Let your parakeet fly around your house on occasion for exercise and stimulation. Just make sure your windows and doors are closed, and there aren't any ceiling fans running.
The best rule of thumb is to be patient and even-tempered with your parakeet, and spend time interacting with it. Parakeets can be a great pet when they are cared for properly.

Just started home brewing a couple months ago after moving into a bigger house that has a basement with plenty of space to store fermenters and bottles.
I've brewed a handful of ales so far without any problems (other than a can of expired LME, rookie mistake). Since I'm fermenting in the basement, I have the advantage of semi-steady temperature. I've thought about making a DIY lagering tun so that I can brew lager once it starts getting cooler and also to help control the temperature once it starts getting unbearably hot this summer.
So here's my plan: get a 10 gallon trash can (like this: http://www.amazon.com/Rubbermaid-Com...4549239&sr=8-1). Wrap the whole thing with fiberglass insulation. Then, place a 5 gallon bucket inside, and put ice/ice packs and water in the space between the bucket and the trash can. Check the temp every couple days and re-ice as needed.
Does this seem like it would work? I've thought about getting a mini-fridge, but from what i've seen, none would fit a 5 gallon bucket. Also thought about getting a 10 gallon water cooler so that I could also convert it for all grain brewing as needed. Any other ideas of cheap ways to maintain cooler temps for fermenting?
I use a cheap mini-fridge that i got off of craigslist for $30. It has plenty of room for my 7.9 gallon fermenter bucket.
Yep, I found a free full size fridge. Holds my 15.5 gallon lagering keg just fine. Spent $45 on a temperature controller and it hold whatever temps I want it to for beer related settings. Also, it doubles as a refridgerator when I need it to, lol. If you could fit one down the basement opening... might be looking into as the stuff is all there to do what you want.
Your trash can idea will work, it would just be a pain to refill with ice every day for 4-12 weeks while you lager your beer.
My mini-fridge has a bump in the back of the cooled compartment for the compressor. This prevented me from fitting carboys into it, until I removed the shelves on the door. Now a 6.5 gal carboy fits fine, I haven't tried a bucket though.
+1 to finding a used minifridge/fridge/freezer on craigslist
if you want to go with plastic tote i would recommend this one:
lowes cat no 2921-002
it fits 2 6.5gal carboys+ ~9gal of water, i use it with aquarium heater, DIY cooling system and temp controller, without lid on i can hold stable 54F (haven't tried lower) but im sure you can use it with frozen bottles ect, just more maintenance
I'm doing the ole swamp cooler thing in my basement now. What a PITA!!! I think the only thing saving me is the use of a fountain pump (I usually use to circulate ice water through my IC). Steady 52 degrees with 5 iced bottles that have to be changed out every 12 hours (hence the Pain In The Arse).
Temp without constantly changing bottles...56 deg. Yeah I'm trolling CL to find a chest freezer someone is dumping for cheap and making me a ferm chamber with an aquarium temp controller.
I love a good train wreck!!
thanks for all the info. taking the shelves out of the door is a really good idea and would probably work. i'm just using 5 gallon buckets, so it doesn't need to be too big. does anyone know what cubic foot size would work for this?
I think mine is a 4.4 cu ft or something like that. It's 33.5" high x 20" wide...
I never did the swamp cooler thing. In hindsight, I really should've when I was in my last apartment (horrible, horrible temp swings).
I pretty much just waited to jump into lagers until I had a ferm chamber. After tasting my first one that I brewed in December and has been lagering in my keezer ever since, I got another chest freezer specifically for lagering. Fits 7 kegs.
It's more upfront cost than a swamp cooler, but if you really want to do lagers on a regular basis, get a freezer off craigslist and throw a temp controller on it.
-BrianTap 1: Flanders Brown Tap 2: Pumpkin Ale Tap 3: Rye IPA Tap 4: Wee Heavy Tap 5: Apfelwein
Fermenting: Amber Ale
Kegged: Barrel-Aged Barleywine, Barleywine, RIS,
Lagering: Märzen
cheapest/easiest is clear out space in your fridge. using a blowoff tube will only take a few inches over the top of a bucket.
mine goes from 36-45 so good for the low end of most lager fermentation depending on yeast strain. I let a batch sit at 68 until I see bubbling, then put it in there. a thermometer sitting next to it in the fridge stayed at 47-49 during primary fermentation, I think because the fridge's temp sensor isn't near the bottom where I had the bucket. so the beer probably stayed at 50+ from generating heat.
for secondary gradually lower it to the fridge's lower temp setting.

Apple is expected to announce the newest version of the iPhone at a 10 a.m. event Wednesday in San Francisco.
The company hasn't specified the topic of the event, but email invitations to reporters contained a shadow in the shape of a "5", the next version in the iPhone series.
The announcement is being held at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts Theater, a site for many Apple product launches.
The new edition is expected to work with 4G - fourth-generation - cellular networks, a feature that rivals have already incorporated. Experts have speculated that the new iPhone will have a slightly larger screen as well.
The model is expected to go on sale a week or two after the announcment.
While sales of iPhones are still strong, Apple lost the lead to Samsung this year. Samsung released the Galaxy S III in the U.S. in June, several months of the expected Apple release.
Apple is also expected to update its phone software, including dropping Google Maps for its own service.
The rivalry between Apple and Google continues to intensify, as Google said Tuesday it will release a new YouTube app for iPhone and iPad. A five-year licensiing agreement is expiring that established YouTube as a built-in application for Apple mobile devices.
Amazon, Nokia, and Motorola all had events to generate interest in their products last week, hoping to boost sales.
Amazon unveiled four new models of their Kindle Fire, while Nokia and Motorola announcement a total of five new smartphones.
It is unknown whether Apple will announce a smaller version of its iPad at the event Wednesday. Apple dominates the tablet market, selling seven of every 10 tablets worldwide in the second quarter, the AP reported.
Competitors have tried to compete by producing smaller, cheaper models, such as Amazon's Kindle Fire. A mini iPad would challenge these smaller models.

"Take It Easy" and "Peaceful Easy Feeling" are two of The Eagles' most beloved songs.

"History of The Eagles Part 1" will debut at the Sundance Film Festival, and while esteemed filmmaker Gibney ("Taxi to the Dark Side," "ENRON: The Smartest Guys in the Room" and this year's "We Steal Secrets: The Story of Wikileaks") is producer, he let his trusted colleague Alison Ellwood take on the directing role. "Alex called me and asked me to do it," Ellwood said. "His plate was full."
"I have tremendous confidence in her," Gibney said. After he saw the film, "it exceeded my expectations."
Ellwood's credits include producer and editor of Gibney's films including "ENRON," "Gonzo: The Life and Work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson" and "Casino Jack and the United States of Money." She jumped at the chance to helm a documentary about the country-rock band that served as the soundtrack to many Americans' lives in the 1970s.
"I grew up listening to them," she said. "The first album I remember loving was 'Desperado.' It's still one of my favorites."
Anyone who claims "Desperado" as favorite Eagles album over their self-titled debut or "Hotel California" makes a good case for being the right person for the job.
The Eagles approached Gibney about filming a documentary about them, and he was initially hesitant. "I didn't want to bathe in nostalgia," he said.
But nostalgia wasn't what the band was interested in. "They wanted to tell a story," Gibney said.
The pitch from The Eagles surprised Ellwood, who remembered that when she was growing up and seeking to devour information about one of her favorite bands, she couldn't find any. "They didn't do press when they were big," she said. Because of that, a myth was created that the band was more contentious than the average band, but it turned out not to be entirely true, she said. "They were all on board and pleasant."
Even die-hard Eagles fans will be astounded at never-before-seen footage from the "Hotel California" tour, the band's last before breaking up for the first time. Ellwood and Gibney found the footage locked away in a vault for 30 years, initially planned for release three decades ago but shelved when the band called it quits. Also featured is rare archival material and unseen home movies from the period.
The rise, and especially the fall, interested Gibney the most. "At the moment of their biggest success, they weren't able to handle it," he said. "It was always interesting."
In regards to the "Part 1" in the title of the film, Ellwood is finishing up work on "Part 2," which will focus on The Eagles' famous "Hell Freezes Over" reunion tour in the early 1990s as well as their current partnership. Both parts will eventually air on Showtime.
The story will continue, if Ellwood's wishes come true. "I personally would like a new Eagles album," she said.

Why don't people believe the fact of evolution?
Biological evolution, the principle that species change over time due to the combination of random mutations and natural selection is a well accepted scientific fact (about a clear a fact as any).
Why do so many people insist on denying it? Why do people feel such a need to protect an archaic world view that they deny science?

May 3 2011: My view is that everything evolves both spiritually and physically. However with regards to Darwin's theory on simian, albeit admitting no proof, I cannot accept since logic don't allow it.
Human beings are always human beings and always were. They evolved in physical structure along with their spirituality over the age of the planet. If we look at early man, we see them with larger jaws and teeth because they hunted and ate that way. Their physical design was apt for the consciousness. As they improved consciously they improved physical as well. Today we manipulate our environment and the more we continue to do so the more refined we become. It is nature and we are unique in it and so is every life form unique in its evolution. Physical and spiritual improvements are exclusive to each form, both human and non-human. So! yes we evolve and always have but we did NOT evolve the way Darwin purports it.
Darwinist claim more than one theory and some hardly even agree or align with each other. I have had this discussion for a number of years and always found incongruent explanations. Some argue the missing link is sort of a metamorphosis that happened over thousands of years therefore an intermediate phase or fossil could not be found. How typical to add all those years when it cannot be observed even though they base their theory on empirical study. Evolutionary biologists sometimes claim there exist no fossil records regarding the origin of vertebrates because invertebrates have soft tissues and consequently leave no fossil traces. Another obvious unrealistic approach. Darwin said "If my theory be true, [the Cambrian] Age must have been full of living creatures."
The "Piltdown Man" was a hoax in which bone fragments were presented as the fossilised remains of a previously unknown early human. Evolutionist are desperate to prove their theory?
a good read
May 3 2011: DivineInterllect:
To me it seems incredibly naive to study science and see that everything changes, moves, transforms, evolves and then say that humans always were and always will be just the way they are.
The only reason I can see for thinking that way is a strong desire to maintain a mind-set based on "holy scripture".
Is there anyone who believes that humans do not evolve who is not religious?
May 4 2011: I do believe we evolve, everything evolves and revolves. Humans evolve into better humans, more refined and an increased intellect but were always human. Each form perfects its self and that in its self is evolution. The only difference is I don't accept that we share a common ancestor nor that we come from the simian/ape family and this does not come from a religious belief.
As for being religious, I am not at all. In fact I don't subscribe to any labels except believe in Creation (some call it God). I call it - all that exist, the total sum is it. We are it.

Got a question on rule clarification, comments on rule enforcements or some memorable NHL stories? Kerry Fraser wants to answer your emails at email@example.com!
Hi Kerry,
What rights does Timmy Thomas have outside the crease? I would assume that it would be the same as any skater. I'm very skeptical of the play where Burrows was called for tripping in Game 1.
Additionally, Thomas was quoted as saying "If I'm out of the paint, and I'm set, I also have the right-of-way to get back to the crease." Does he have a right to a direct path back to the crease if an opposing player is already standing there in possession of that ice?
Seattle, WA
I haven't seen Tim Thomas' quote but I will take your word as gospel on it. My response is, "Timmy, Timmy, Timmy; the 'only right of way' that you are entitled to when returning 'home' is under the Motor Vehicles Act of Massachusetts when driving from the Boston T.D. Garden and not under the NHL playing rules when returning to your crease!"
If there is a stationary obstruction such as a player that is occupying a piece of ice in your "direct path," no different than wondering animals or children playing in the streets when you are behind the wheel, my advice is don't just run them over but avoid contact or you will be held liable.
Have you ever heard the expression "possession is 9/10'ths of the law?" If another player occupies that real estate, he owns it and you can be charged with trespassing! Location, location, location.
A couple of columns ago I answered Jeff Gendel's question about the trapezoid and highlighted the extensive protection (especially within the crease) that the goalkeepers are entitled to under Rule 69-Interference on the Goalkeeper. As such, we know (as Timmy does) that any "intentional or deliberate" contact with the goalkeeper whether he is inside or outside his goal crease will result in a penalty to the offender.
We have often seen this potential Vezina Trophy winner venture far and wide outside his "house painted blue" to challenge shooters and cut down the angle (Some replays show him so far from home that he should drop bread crumbs just to find his way back.) Let's look at the goalkeepers rights.
First and foremost, the goalies job is to stop the puck and not engage in the general physicality of the game. He can position himself and attempt to stop the puck in any way he chooses, short of throwing his stick or piece of equipment at it. Goalkeeper risks are relatively low when they venture into traffic because of all the "full bundle of rights" that they enjoy.
Here is the standard of enforcement that is applied with regard to contact outside the goal crease; whether you like it or not. I can assure you there are elements of it that I don't like either but we aren't going to change it here. It's open for debate though.
If the goalkeeper, outside his crease, is set (stationary/not moving) to play a shot and he is bumped (interfered with) then you can bet that an interference penalty will result unless the attacking player was pushed, bumped or checked into the goalkeeper by a defending player.
(To recap: Goalie action & purpose-set to stop puck; Player action & purpose-usually moving with contact designed to interfere. Result = Interference Penalty!)
Alym, your assumption that Tim Thomas is granted the rights of any other skater when he is outside the crease is fairly accurate; notwithstanding verbiage of Rule 69.1 relative to "incidental contact" outside the crease which sets the goalie apart from a normal skater (Incidental contact with a goalkeeper will be permitted, and resulting goals allowed, when such contact is initiated inside or outside of the goal crease, provided the attacking player has made a reasonable effort to avoid such contact). That's a pretty big exemption granted to the goalkeepers union and one that resulted in the penalty to Alex Burrows penalty.
Let's leave the goalie alone for a moment and examine a couple of scenarios that would involve contact between two skaters.
Situation #1: Often on a power play we see a forward cutting across and straddling the blue line behind a defenceman who is backing up. If the forward makes contact causing the defenceman to fall then an interference penalty is assessed to the forward - he must give way to the defenceman who isn't looking behind him and is unsuspecting of the impending contact.
Situation #2: If one player knocks another player to the ice without possession of the puck then interference is also called unless a legitimate battle between the two players has been established.
So in the case of a goalie that is "set" and positioned squarely to a shooter in an attempt to stop a shot he will be afforded the right to do so without being interfered with. Unless it was Ron Hextall on Chris Chelios, goalies don't engage players in a battle!
While being "set" outside the crease does allow Timmy Thomas the right to stop the puck without being interfered with the rest of his quote ("I also have the right-of-way to get back to the crease") is just wishful thinking on his part.
If I were coach Alain Vigneault, I would instruct a forward to position himself behind Tim Thomas when he was out of the crease to set up a stationary "road block." So long as the "pylon" didn't make himself bigger (extended elbows, stick, legs) but occupied his ice, Timmy would have to find an alternate route to get past the detour. Tim is usually so far out of the crease that the first shot is stopped anyway so the second or third one will be the one that might find the mark; especially if nobody's home? Knowing Tim Thomas as I do, I'm sure he would find a way to stop it regardless.
Let me share one last thought for consideration as we move forward. It comes from an arrangement I made with NY Islanders Hall of Fame goalie Billy Smith from the time I was a rookie referee. Smitty was known for using his stick for more than stopping shots or clearing away pucks. He was a scary individual and never hesitated to take law and order into his own hands; something I wanted him to avoid when I was working Islander games.
The first time Smitty whacked a guy in his crease I approached him and said, "I want to make a deal with you. I promise to penalize every player that interferes with you when you are in your goal crease. If you touch them with your stick though, I guarantee that you will get the penalty. Do we have a deal?"
Billy Smith said, "Deal. That's all I want, is to be able to stop the puck without being interfered with."
I wasn't finished negotiating yet and wanted to cover all the bases with this guy. I then asked him what "protection" he expected when he was "outside of his crease."
Smitty grinned as he pointed his 'hatchet' into the end zone and said, "Don't worry about me when I'm out there, I'll take care of myself --then you can give me a penalty!"
Goalies of today are looking for the "Right of Way"… Billy Smith cleared his own path; straight to The Hockey Hall of Fame.

I heard from our hometown favorites, Bobby and Jarod Minghini, yesterday. They are currently in Finland until the 29th training for the first World Cup and Olympic qualifier which will be held in Austria in December. If you haven't heard about the brothers raised atop Snowshoe Mountain yet, check out the story we did on them earlier this month, http://www.skisoutheast.com/articles_4296_Southeast-Olympic-Hopefuls--Bobby-and-Jarod-Minghini.html.
Cataloochee Ski Area
Cat is reporting an 18-32 inch base, same as yesterday's report. Cat reported yesterday that they are skiing on 6 runs ( Lower Omigosh, Rabbit Hill, Easy Way, Upper Over Easy, Over Easy and Beginner's Luck), supported by 2 lifts (Omigosh, Easy Way) and 1 conveyor on Beginner's Luck.
Sugar Mountain
Sugar is reporting an 8-33 inch base, up 1 inch from yesterday. Sugar is also running with their same configuration, 2 slopes - Upper Flying Mile and Lower Flying Mile, with one lift going 3/4 of the way up the mountain.
The weather will be warming up across the Southeast for the next couple of days which should hush the snow guns.
Snow making temperatures should return on Saturday night where there is a chance of snow for the Southeast Mountains. The snow will begin to move into the area on Saturday with the West Virginia resorts seeing it first.
And finally, speaking of our West Virginia resorts – Snowshoe has laid down a sick amount of snow. They are scheduled to open Wednesday, November 27th.

The video was reportedly "leaked" by James Carter IV, the grandson of former President Carter. How appropriate. It apparently was saved for the most politically opportune moment and then released by the liberal Mother Jones news organization in hopes of causing maximum damage to the Romney...

Bullying hurts
Not only can bullying hurt someone's feelings, it can have other more serious effects. Some problems can even last until you are an adult! Bullying can play a role in:
- Sadness, hurt feelings, loneliness, and depression
- Poor body image, low self-esteem, and even eating disorders, especially when teased about weight
- Skipping school, bad grades, and being afraid to go to school
- Headaches, stomach aches, and anxiety
- Trouble sleeping
- Thoughts and acts of suicide, in very bad cases
Bullying others or being bullied can hurt someone both physically and emotionally — and have effects even after you become an adult!
If you are being bullied by someone, it's ok to ask for help if you are experiencing any of the effects listed above. Teachers, parents, a doctor or nurse, and other trusted adults should be able to help you. Girlshealth.gov can also help you learn about how to stop a bully.

A word from Zocca
Zocca offers contemporary Italian cuisine, fine wine, and cocktails at one of the most scenic spots on San Antonio's renowned Riverwalk, where towering cypress trees shade the restaurant's riverside patio. Zocca's casually elegant interior of burnished copper, rich wood, and handsome onyx panels creates a relaxed, welcoming ambiance. The culinary artists in Zocca's kitchen bring a contemporary spin to traditional Old World flavors, focusing on locally-sourced, seasonal ingredients to create delectable and memorable dishes. Zocca's private dining options can accommodate from 10 guests to 100, in an al fresco patio setting to the convivial Chef's Table to buy-out of the entire restaurant.Continued

- Nice PlaceDebraDined on 9/27/2014Zocca had a very nice atmosphere, right next to the riverwalk, & the weather was perfect to sit outside or at a inside table near the open door. The food was very good. Service was good, could have been a little more attentive. The price was average to pricey. Overall a nice experience before going to the Tobin center.Special Features:
- AWESOMEPattie452Dined on 9/26/2014We went to Zocco on the recommendation of a friend who'd recently been to San Antonio, so we decided to try it although Italian isn't my favorite ethnic food. Great decision. We were able to make a reservation for 7:45 through Open Table and I requested to eat outside along the River Walk. It was a beautiful evening so outside was perfect. My husband ordered the Ceasar Wedge and I had the Caprese Salad as starters. The presentation of the wedge was great and both were delicious. I was afraid that the tomatoes might not be all that good but I didn't need to worry. They had plenty of flavor. Our next course was the Tuscan Filet which my husband loved and I had the Braised Short Ribs which were fall-off-the-bone good. Great restaurant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ZoccaRozzDined on 9/26/20143 of us dined at zocca and had a lovely dinner. Food was very good - the minestrone soup was particularly delicious. The ambiance is warm and inviting- quite Tuscan, but not overdone. Service was excellent - the server was knowledgeable as well as extremely helpful. A very nice dining experieySpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good food, great servicenoneDined on 9/23/2014Met with a prospective business partner there so a good experience was important. It was in both food and service. A special commendation to our waiter Jason. He did a great job - thank you Jason !!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great FettuccineMauiMamaVIPDined on 9/20/2014We enjoyed dinner here last night. The menu had lots of variety and everything we ordered was very good. We started with Calamari, risotto and bruschetta. My granddaughter ordered a margarita pizza which was great. The best dish was the fettuccine with chicken. We will go back to try more.Special Features:
- Great San Antonio lunch spotAustinvisitorDined on 9/10/2014Perfect place for a business lunch - great atmosphere, view, food and service. Would recommend and look forward to returning next time I'm in San AntonioSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- PerfectRomanticDinnerDined on 8/30/2014Excellent place if you are aiming to enjoy a nice meal outside, along the river, and away from the tourist traps & crowded/loud environment. My girlfriend and I had a tasteful, romantic dinner, then walked over to the craziness. First time at the San Antonio Riverwalk and this restaurant is one of the main reasons we will come back. Perfect wine, perfect food, perfect sophisticated crowd, perfect view.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Just ok for the priceSAAggie05Dined on 8/23/2014For the price point, I was expecting more. The appetizers were great. The table had Caesar salad, calamari, and the antipasto. All pretty good dishes plus they were good serving sizes. We had the Bolognese, fettuccine alfredo, & the pasta with crab in white sauce (forgot the name). The pasta was fresh and great but all the sauces were lacking flavor. We have all had better. The desert was good though. They were also out of the first wine we ordered. The waiter was nice but didn't seem to fit the price point of this restaurant either. Just seemed a step behind. We also watched an employee set a table after a couple were finished and didn't clean the table. There were bread crumbs we could see from across the aisle. More effort is needed.Special Features:
- Small Romantic SpotWillYenDined on 8/22/2014The food was excellent. The only downfall would probably be the service. He wasn't very catering and seemed like he was all over the place even though the restaurant was pretty empty. He didn't recommend any wines for our taste or anything. But overall it's the food that counts and the food was excellent. I recommend the chicken for sure!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ExcellentJrodzDined on 8/16/2014Everything was excellent , oi had the brick oven roasted chicken it was excellent and we had the baked figs for appetizer and it was delishSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- What's the Rush, Young Staff?AustinNewbiesVIPDined on 8/13/2014We had an enjoyable time at Zocca. We had difficulty finding the place as we were visiting San Antonio. It would have been easier to tell us it was located within the hotel as opposed to a street address. WHAT is the hurry in this kitchen? We ordered our appetizers and with in 2 minutes (no exaggeration) it was on the table. Twice we had to tell the server to slow down. I wish they could make us feel special as opposed to just another set of tourist coming for a meal. Then to boot, they did not even acknowledge our OpenTable reservation after we specifically told the hostess we were an OT customer. Why do establishments hire such (super) young staff? Over all, the food was terrific and it's a wonderful place to enjoy.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- CoffeePleaseVIPDined on 8/8/2014This place was recommended by our hotel. I ordered the scallop special. Delish! My husband and daughter had beef tenderloin. Delish! The atmosphere was nice and wine selection was great. Our waiter was very attentive. We would definitely return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great First Anniversary DinnerashfallDined on 8/3/2014The atmosphere at Zocca's was romantic with the low lighting and music playing in the background, and the view was beautiful. We dined inside, but the wide glass doors leading to the riverwalk and outdoor seating were open, so I feel like we got the best of both worlds. The staff was friendly and the food was amazing. We shared our pasta dishes (tagliatelle and spaghetti & meatballs) and couldn't decide which we preferred. Also, at the end of the meal they brought us a complementary slice of ganache cake to celebrate our anniversary.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Enjoyable experience!KitkatDined on 8/3/2014Staff was gracious and knowledgeable. Andy, our server, was attentive but not intrusive. Food was awesome. Will definitely go to Zocca's again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great experienceJrodzDined on 8/2/2014The only complaint I have was my dish ( my dish only, my party enjoyed their food ). I ordered the seafood risotto and risotto was gummy and some parts were undercooked. The flavor was there just that aspect fell a little short. But the server and manager were great at dealing with it, they omitted my dish from my bill. And the chocolate pizza was to die for. The service was excellent !!! The ambience was elegant and contemporary.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Gluten-Free Menu RocksTeresaWDined on 8/1/2014Zocca has a gluten-free menu that is brimming with options - including about six different dessert options!! The server was very knowledgeable about gluten - and they even bring a gluten-free bread basket to the table! Unbelievable! I can't believe that I live in San Antonio and didn't know that this restaurant existed. Thanks to my "Find My Gluten-Free" phone app, I discovered Zocca. I will be back!Special Features:
- DevereauxDevereauxDined on 7/30/2014Great food, great ambiance, great views, and great service. Very romantic atmosphere designed to delight both local San Antonians as well as visitors to the city.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- AndyDanieltheoilguyDined on 7/27/2014The food was only half the story. The waiter is the other half. Amazing is the only thing to describe both.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- deliciousZeist123Dined on 7/25/2014The food was delicious and not too heavy. The waiter was polite and courteous. The fact that it is located by the riverwalk ups the ambience. Really beautiful! The pappardelle with crab was really good and the tiramisu was sublime! A must go if you're in San Antonio.Special Features:
- Riverwalk Dining w/o Hussle-Busslekadac00Dined on 7/18/2014If you choose to dine outside along the Riverwalk, this is a clean well kept section with a nice view without all the packed crowding and noise of the busier section around the corner. Food and service were excellent as always which is why we come back year after year.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- I can see why it's so highly ratedCharlesDined on 7/18/2014This is by far the best restaurant we've been to in San Antonio. We were in Rome last summer and we thought the food was as good as it is there. I highly recommend this restaurant. We were there for our 13th anniversary so the memory will stay with us forever how good our experience was.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- LovelyOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/12/2014I would suggest going around 8 and sitting outside on the riverwalk. Much different experience than the usual "riverwalk restaurant"Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great! times 2wisconsintotexasDined on 7/11/2014This was our second time at the restaurant in about two months. Both times (once as a large family reunion and once as a couple) we received outstanding service and great food. The space has the ability to be separated at one end to allow groups to be separated visually from the rest of the dining area. The entire length of the restaurant has views of the river walk and is great for people watching as you dine. The mood is calm, with low lighting and a quiet noise level. The building materials are high-end stones and tiles. Nicely done. They have a nice wine menu with a variety of price points...and the staff that understands how to pour and keep attentive to re-fill glasses.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- great experienceUpdateVIPDined on 7/11/2014Was in San Antonio for business and thought I would grab lunch at Zocco. So glad I did. Food was phenomenal, but if you go ask for Amanda,probably best service I have had recently.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Perfectiondinein2nightDined on 7/4/2014Absolutely amazing place to dine! My husband and I celebrated our anniversary there on the 4th of July. The waiter brought us 2 complimentary glasses of champagne as soon as we were seated. The food was so delicious that I can't put it in words. After we finished dinner, our waiter said they had complimentary dessert for us, he returned with a yummy piece of chocolate cake on a beautiful platter decorated in chocolate that read Happy Anniversary! The setting was quiet and romantic, the service was great!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- GirlsCammVIPDined on 6/27/2014First time to this Zocca & it was awesome! I will be back!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DisappointingJimBDined on 6/25/2014The atmosphere was great. However, the entree labeled "sea bass" turned out to be small, somewhat oily filets with the skin on, not the white, flaky sea bass we are used to. My wife could not eat it; too greasy. The seafood risotto I had was okay, but I would rate it only average. In addition, their wines are overpriced. Some of our favorite wines, that we routinely pay $25 to $40 dollars a bottle for were priced at $65 to $80. All in all, a disappointing evening, even though they did not charge us for my wife's entree.
- Italian Flair on the RiverwalkRebelcamDined on 6/25/2014A last minute reservation presented us with fantastic Italian food just steps from the Riverwalk. The pasta was perfectly al dente with a wonderful Bolognese. My wife has Celiac Disease and the staff was responsive to her needs. Her sea bass was cooked perfectly and well seasoned. You must try Zocca if you crave Italian food!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Just ok.ThompsonsDined on 6/21/2014As SPG members, we thought the SPG hotel restaurant would be a great idea. It wasn't. My husband's filet was great. My food, spaghetti, was flavorless. The service was horrible and it appeared that others were getting the same horrible service. Stating you're the #1 Italian restaurant on the riverwalk isn't a big deal when there are only 3.Special Features:
- Very nice dinner at ZoccaOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 6/19/2014I had the veal ravioli and it was delicious. We sat outside, the service was excellent and it was just a very nice evening!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- StormSisterDined on 6/17/2014Food was good, portions ok. Service was fair. Language issue. Ordered pasta, no one offered grated cheese, lacked a certain high end service.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- AwfulSquisitaDined on 6/14/2014Service was unbelievably slow. I was served pizza that was either frozen or made from a pre-made base. They don't make their own dough. Portions were small and overpriced. This place is to avoid.Special Features:
- The following 379 reviews are from the Zocca reviews archive.
- Romantic spot!rmadlaDined on 5/29/2014I was coming to San Antonio for a business meeting, and my wife hasn't had a vacation in a few years - so we did some budget juggling to allow her to come with me. I wanted the first evening (before my meeting) to be special. Online, I searched the city to find the most highly recommended romantic dining spot. Aha! Found it. Now how far from our hotel? OMG, it's **in** our hotel! A completely happy surprise ... I arranged for flowers to await her at the table and kept my fingers crossed during our flight. Everything was perfect - the food, the ambiance, the service - all flawless. The evening was great!Special Features:
- Lovely vacation dinnerOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 5/21/2014Had dinner last night here because a friend recommended it when I told her we were vacationing in San Antonio. She told us to order the bruschetta and we did and it was so delicious! Probably the best bruschetta I've ever had. I ordered the pappardelle with a glass of Chardonnay and it was fresh and wonderful! Our server was great and everything came out in a timely manner.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- One of the very best!JamesDined on 5/17/2014The food is wonderful, service is outstanding and the atmosphere is the best. Whether you are looking for a romantic evening or want to watch the river walk traffic or a parade on the river this is the restaurant. Have been there several times and have not been disappointed yet.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great findpregameVIPDined on 5/9/2014Great Italian restaurant on the river walk. I would highly recommendSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Bad all aroundOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 5/4/2014This restruant was horrible compared to the reviews ! The food was not good! I orders sea bass and they brought a fake fish something like a fresh water trout not good, my wife's chicken was burnt and detour.
- Not as it was built up to beFirsttimrDined on 5/2/2014We found our food bland and tasteless. We both had the crab pasta dish. I got two pieces of crab the size of my pinky tip. My husband got much the same. The food was very bland. The salad was good, but the calamari was very tough and cold when it came to the table. I would not go back there.Special Features:
- Anniversary SpotAngel8384Dined on 4/26/2014We went to Zocca for our anniversary and enjoyed every bite. The patio doors were open so we had a nice view of the river.Special Features:
- Relaxing and EnjoyingDickDined on 4/25/2014The restaurant is right on the riverwalk and in a great location. Very clean and upscale professional perspective by all staff. Our waiter was great. Very attentive, courteous and helpful. The food was very good. Tried the tortellini, the pizza, and the filet. All were well prepared and delicious. They did not mind that we wanted to take our time and enjoy the ambience and our meal. Spent a couple of hours between wine and meal. I would recommend this restaurant to any who like good Italian cuisine.Special Features:

Alzheimer's Disease
Alzheimer's disease (AD) research at The Friedman Brain Institute integrates several basic and translational dementia efforts while also extending investigations into the molecular basis of the disease. Among these efforts are:
- Administrative Base and Central Laboratory for Cure Alzheimer's Fund Stem Cell Consortium (CAFSCC)
- Alzheimer's Disease Research Center (ADRC)
Advances in Research
The Administrative Base and Central Laboratory for Cure Alzheimer's Fund Stem Cell Consortium CAFSCC is an international effort focusing on the use of induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) technology in order to understand the molecular basis for Alzheimer's disease. Physician-scientists, stem cell experts, neurogeneticists, and neurophysiologists from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, Harvard Medical School, Massachusetts General Hospital, The Rockefeller University, The New York Stem Cell Foundation, and Hadassah University collaborate on modeling of pathophysiological neuronal and neuronal-glial mixed cell phenomenology related to Alzheimer's disease. For example, in a current project, iPSC-derived neurons and mixed cultures taken from a sibship (a group of children of the same parents) with a pathogenic mutation in presenilin 2 are being used to test a new gamma secretase modulator to determine whether their family would be eligible to enroll in a clinical trial of this new drug.
Other research efforts are underway to identify new risk genes for Alzheimer's disease and other dementias (frontotemporal dementia, for example), in studying the biology of amyloid-related neuropathology, and in investigating common genetic links between Alzheimer's disease and metabolic disorders such as diabetes.
Investigators involved: Dongming Cai, Dara L. Dickstein, Michelle Ehrlich, Samuel E. Gandy, Patrick R. Hof, Giulio M. Pasinetti, Nikolaos K. Robakis

Random Phrase: A fine blend of homeyness and professionalism...
A lot of hard drives of today do make a significant amount of noise. A lot
of this noise is caused by vibrations, and that can be very annoying. My Western
Digital 80 GB 8 MB cache drive isn't one of those really noisy hard drives,
but I decided to see if I could get rid of the small vibrations anyway.
All you need is two pencils or similar, and two or more thick rubber bands.
The pictures say it all..
Remove the hard drive from the case.
Find a couple of thick rubber bands.
Install in 5.25" slots in the case like this.
How I attached the rubber bands to the side. Doesn't get any easier than this.
I did notice less vibrations after performing this mod. I recommend you use
3 or 4 rubber bands instead of the 2 I used, in case one of them should break.
Furthermore, don't move the case too much while the hard drive is hanging there.
Better safe than sorry!
I had mine installed as you see in the pictures, for 3 months without any problems.
It didn't cost me anything to perform this mod, so I thought I should share
this, and perhaps give you all some ideas for your own noise reduction projects.
Remember, elastic bands do become brittle over time, so give it a check every
now and again. But anyone who does this, will generally have their machine open
quite frequently anyway :)

Northeast Delta Dental Stadium
This state-of-the-art facility is located along the banks of the Merrimack River. The stadium was designed by HNTB out of Kansas City. The ballpark opened in April 2005 as Fisher Cats Ballpark. The facility became Merchantsauto.com Stadium in April of 2006 in a partnership with the Singer Family and Merchants Automotive Group.
On January 31, 2011 it was announced that the stadium would now be known as Northeast Delta Dental Stadium, as part of a partnership between the Fisher Cats and Northeast Delta Dental.
In August of 2006, Rock & Roll legend Bob Dylan became the first concert performance at Northeast Delta Dental Stadium. A year later the venue hosted its second concert featuring the bands Live, Collective Soul and the Counting Crows.
The stadium seats 6,500 fans in the general seating bowl and boasts two private 100-person Party Decks on the first and third base lines, a 300-person picnic area in left field which sits directly below the Samuel Adams Bar & Grill.

Sneakerheads were in for a wild jungly treat at the Carlton's Hasti Bala room that looked like a cross between "Where the Wild Things Are" and Bush Tuckers dinner. The setting looked every bit like a Bunyip's lair, except for the free flowing drinks, cool kids hanging out and Hans DC on deck. Everyone was just raring to get a glimpse and try on the suede beast. Catching everyone's attention besides the Bunyips was Bigfoot jumping around menacing people. Random but something you would expect for this kind of party. Shout out to Acclaim Magazine for tagging along 13th Witness and Ricky Powell to the bash. It was definitely a night of rare occurrences. As a closing treat, a couple of Bunyips were given out in a lucky draw.
Sneaker Freaker's main man, Woody, personally showed the Bunyips around and spoke about how rad the specs are. It's true - only when it's in its natural habitat that you truly appreciate the majestic splendor if this exotic creature.
The Sneaker Freaker x PUMA Bunyip footwear, wind jacket, and tee are available at select PUMA Stores and stockists in Asia-Pacific starting May 2012.
Special thanks to Woody and Sneaker Freaker.
