The US Has Been Bombing Iraq Since 1991 Without Stopping--Until Now
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
In 1991, the United States unleashed a bombing campaign of staggering proportions against Iraq: 120,000 sorties were launched and 265,000 bombs dropped. From then on, the missions never stopped.
From 1991 to 2003, the U.S. and its allies conducted a low-level air war to enforce no-fly zones over northern and southern Iraq, while attacking Iraq's air defenses and other targets. In February 2003, the U.S. would, again, conduct a blistering " shock and awe" campaign and, by mid-April, Iraq had been subjected to 41,000 sorties and 27,000 bombs dropped. The U.S. air war would continue on as, year after year, U.S. planes attacked targets, killing enemy fighters and civilians alike.
But at the end of this year, according to the top Air Force general in Iraq, two decades of American sorties and bombings -- the longest air war in the history of the world -- will finally come to end.
In a telephone interview from Baghdad last week, Major General Russell Handy, the commander of the 9th Air and Space Expeditionary Task Force-Iraq, announced there are currently no arrangements in place to allow the U.S. to fly missions over Iraq after Dec. 31, 2011. "We have no authority nor any agreements," he said in regard to conducting operations in Iraqi airspace from the many U.S. military bases in the region. Nor, Handy said, was he aware of any ongoing negotiations about forging such an accord before the fast-approaching deadline to remove all U.S. troops from the country.
After months of attempts to derail that deadline, set forth in an agreement signed by George W. Bush late in his presidency, President Barack Obama recently found himself forced to abide by it, when the government of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki refused to grant U.S. troops legal immunity from criminal prosecution after this year.
Beginning in 2012, according to Handy, the number of U.S. military personnel in the country could be down to between 100 and 200 troops. "I'm not going to give an exact number because it's still being discussed and we're still talking to the Iraqis about [it]," he said.
The remaining troops would mainly be servicemembers attached to the Office of Security Cooperation, which manages the sale of military weapons systems, vehicles and other technology to foreign governments. These would not be trainers in the traditional sense, like those U.S. troops currently working with Iraqi forces. Office of Security Cooperation personnel would instead help with basic instruction involving equipment. A scenario Handy offered dealt with advanced radar technology. An expert airman might oversee contractors who would install the equipment at an Iraqi base and teach personnel there how to operate it, but not much beyond that.
This doesn't mean, however, that all U.S. air capabilities in that country will vanish with the last of the troops. The U.S. mission in Baghdad, a $1 billion structure and the largest embassy in the world, will see to that.
"They certainly will need some sort of access to their sites whether that will be rotary-wing or fixed-wing," he told me, referring to helicopters and airplanes to be used by American foreign service personnel. When I asked how many airfields the embassy staff would hold on to or retain access to, he said, "I can't speak to that, because the embassy is still deliberating exactly what their plan will look like and what airfields they will need to operate from."
Even at this late date, the embassy and the Iraqi government are still haggling over the details, he told me. "I'm quite sure they haven't come to a conclusion."

Campers enjoying the holiday weekend were taken by surprise at Lake Tschida when one of the strongest hail storms to date hit the area."We've had this cabin out here since we were small and my sister nor I never remembered the lake being this scary. It was just this big black, massive black swirls in it." said Rita Schlenvogt who was staying at Tschida over the weekend, "We did see a few jet skis going at high speed to get to safety." And for good reason since this particular storm almost broke physical law.
According to reports at Lake Tschida, hail ranged anywhere in size from a pebble, to a softball.That means that these ice chunks were four and a half inches wide and weighed around two pounds.According to the National Weather Service this is practically as big as it can get.The only shelter many of the Tschida campers had were their tents, so others did all they could to keep people safe from the storm."We brought as many in as we could. Some had been camping over at the public beach and we just all crowded in here. We had a small cellar to go down if we had to so we were prepared." said Schlenvogt.But even indoors, the Schlenvogt said the hail sounded like someone was shooting the side of their cabin with a shotgun.But in a remarkable turn of events, damage caused by the storm was only minimal to medium according to recreational manager Michelle Psyck."For what we received it turned out extremely well. Older campers helped out are younger campers, everyone really pulled together to buckle down and keep everybody safe." said Michelle Psyck the recreational manager at the lake.And in the name of holiday spirit, these vacationers were still able to see a silver lining, even below storm clouds."It was a little to wet for a while but at least when they lit off fireworks we didn't need to worry about fires." - RitaI'm Alicia Ewen, reporting for KX News.

Food Assistance:
Research Provides Limited Information on the Effectiveness of Specific WIC Nutrition Services
GAO-01-442: Published: Mar 30, 2001. Publicly Released: Mar 30, 2001.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-9889
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Despite methodological limitations, demonstration studies provide program managers and policymakers with some useful information on the types of Special Supplemental Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC) nutrition service interventions that can have positive results for participants. However, only one recent demonstration study provides any information on the costs associated with implementing various interventions. Given the limited resources available to provide WIC nutrition services, information on the costs to provide effective services could play a critical role in managers' decisions to implement the intervention and policymakers' decisions on funding the intervention.
Recommendation for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: USDA submitted a statement of action dated April 20, 2001. USDA stated that they agreed in principle with the recommendation and recognized that information on costs is a critical component of assessing program performance. Taking into account the limited availability of evaluation resources, USDA will endeavor to obtain the cost information whenever it is practical to do so.
Recommendation: In order to maximize the value of nutrition education, breastfeeding promotion and support, and referral service demonstration and evaluation research funded by the Department of Agriculture, the Secretary of Agriculture should direct officials responsible for implementing such research to require that this research include an assessment of the costs associated with the special intervention being evaluated.

Boeing: Air Force tanker program on schedule
Monday - 3/26/2012, 9:20am EDT
Dennis Muilenburg, president of Boeing's Defense, Space and Security division, gave The Federal Drive with Tom Temin an upbeat report on the program.
To date, Boeing has hit every milestone on schedule and is headed toward building the first 17 tankers by 2018, Muilenburg said.
Currently, the Boeing team is in the preliminary design review phase, he said.
The tanker is based on the 767 commercial line and will be put together on the same production line as the commercial product, an innovation that will both save the government money and ensure on-time delivery, Muilenburg said.

Crown Victoria is a sedan for traditional large-car buyers who seek the features offered in the American cars they grew up with - roominess, comfort, smooth ride, V-8 power and rear-wheel drive. Size, safety and dependability remain hallmarks, and Crown Victoria continues to earn the government's highest five-star crash rating for the driver and front passenger.
The Ford Crown Victoria's clean styling features wide door openings, large glass areas for good visibility, wraparound aerodynamic headlamps and standard foldaway remote-control power outside mirrors. The color-keyed body-side moldings help protect against parking-lot dings.
The LX Sport model has a monochromatic exterior. Body-color grille, bumpers, decklid applique and taillamp trim are standard with the Dark Toreador Red, Midnight Gray, Silver Birch and Black exterior colors.
The LX Sport interior includes front bucket seats with leather trim and a leather-wrapped handle on the gear selector located in the center console. The console includes large and small storage bins, a padded armrest and concealed power point. The console and rear armrest both offer dual cup holders.
Crown Victoria is powered by a 4.6-liter, single-overhead-cam V-8 engine that develops 224 horsepower at 4,800 rpm and 275 pound-feet of torque at 4,000 rpm.
The optional Handling and Performance package, standard on the LX Sport, has a dual exhaust system that increases the engine's performance to 239 horsepower at 4,900 rpm and 287 pound-feet of torque at 4,100 rpm. It also includes an uprated torque converter, monotube shocks, a rear stabilizer bar and rear air suspension.
Crown Victoria uses an electronically controlled four-speed automatic overdrive transmission.
Safety and Security
Since 1996, Crown Victoria has earned the U.S. government's highest crash test rating – five-star – for driver and passenger frontal crash. Major contributors to Crown Victoria's safety performance are a robust frame design, a large crumple zone and Ford Motor Company's Personal Safety System™.
In government side crash testing, the Crown Victoria has earned front and rear four-star ratings. Seat-mounted side air bags for the front outboard seats are an available option.
Other safety features include BeltMinder™, child safety locks on the rear doors, LATCH, SmartLock™ and a glow-in-the-dark internal trunk release handle.
Laminated front side glass is available to provide extra security against "smash-and-grab" break-ins and thefts. It also reduces road and wind noise, improves protection from flying glass in a collision and filters out most of the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays, thus reducing heat buildup and interior fading.
Major Equipment and Options
Crown Victoria Standard: 4.6-liter, 224-hp V-8 engine, four-speed automatic overdrive transmission, P225/60R16 all-season BSW tires, full solar-tinted glass, dual front air bags, courtesy lamps, map pockets, power locks, power windows, air conditioning, AM/FM stereo with cassette, cloth eight-way power driver seat, tilt steering wheel and speed control.
LX adds: 16-inch alloy split-spoke wheels, AM/FM stereo with single CD, overhead console with compass, rear seat reading lamps and remote keyless entry.
LX Sport adds: Handling and Performance package, P235/55HR17 all-season BSW tires, 17-inch alloy five-spoke wheels, electronic climate control, AM/FM stereo with cassette and single CD, center console with concealed power point, floor shifter with leather-wrapped handle, auto-dim rearview mirror, leather-wrapped steering wheel with audio and climate controls, five-passenger seating with leather eight-way power front seats with lumbar support and conventional spare tire.
The LX Premier Group adds: Electronic climate control, leather-wrapped steering wheel with audio and climate controls, power passenger seat, power lumbar supports, auto-dimming rearview mirror, AM/FM stereo with cassette and single CD player.
Handling and Performance package (available on LX and standard on LX Sport) includes: 16-inch aluminum wheels (on LX) or 17-inch aluminum wheels (on LX Sport), revised springs and monotube shocks, rear heavy-duty stabilizer bar, rear load-leveling air suspension, dual exhaust, performance torque convertor and a 3.27:1 axle ratio.
Options include side air bags in front seats, all-speed traction control with electronic brake force distribution, six-disc CD changer, heated rearview mirrors, electronic instrumentation, laminated side glass, power adjustable pedals, full-size spare and a trunk organizer.

Proposals Voted on Tonight:
Jubilee (BLOCKED – 31 in favor, 170 present)
Original Proposal:
We have no clear political demands. We will fail if we do not gain political demands. Proposes we focus all demands and what OC works towards on canceling all debt, including: foreclosure, student loans, car notes, medical bills, evictions, and credit card debt.
Reworked version, that was used for voting:
Occupy Chicago takes on a political demand of canceling all debt, including: evictions, foreclosures, credit card debt, medical bills, student loans and car notes.
- need to decide if this should be the sole goal or one of many, as we do currently have several political demands already voted on.
- Sounds more like a grievance than demand.
- Demand is too far reaching and vague to be taken seriously. Never would be able to pass give U.S. law. Instead we should go against corporations pumping money into political campaigns.
- Debt s just a symptom of what we're fighting. Proposal is too specific and incomplete.
- Proposal seems infeasible and harmful a an elimination of all debt ensures no loaning in the future, which stops growth. Suggests an amendment "reform" versus elimination, by creating programs to help households with debt and to ensure students don't pay too much for education
- Press already works hard to defend existing demands. 99% of people in this country won't respond to this, rather focus on ways to help pay off existing debt & eliminate the circumstances that create it.
- Unjust war in Iraq that created debt for corporate gains, if we only focus on individual debt, it will be petty & need to think bigger and more strategically.
- If we cancel debt, people will see as a variety of theft and play into negative comments already said. Pressure Federal Reserve for a 3rd round of quantitative easing and use fiscal policy to eliminate debt ceiling. The U.S. is the only federal government that decides which bills to pay.
- People who work in financial industry that have to deal with this debt, if approved will lose the 99% who work in this sector and have jobs & aspirations like us.
- Media and politicians hammer us about providing specific demands because they can spin anything to sound good or bad. Still haven't decided overall goal, so will be harder with a specific demand in place like this.
- 2008 banks had a lot of people owe them money and they didn't get it, which caused the economy to collapse.
- Don't make demands that will marginalize movement, better to have discussion on post industrial society.
- Lower interest rates and fees along with fair health care and education costs
- 2nd Occupy today, as came from Occupy Grand Rapids! OC voted on 12 demands, one of which is eliminate student debt as education should be free. Propose that #13 be we cancel debt on countries around the world to stand in solidarity with the global 99%.
- 2 choices of how to change current system, either reform or a new system. Because current system isn't working, if we agree with some things in this proposal we need to demonstrate how it would work. Need a plan.
- Many of the things included in the debt cancellation are basic human rights. Need to cancel debt and have a plan on how to do so within a new system we create together.
- Student debt is a working class issues, as education is a prerequisite to get a job. Doesn't marginalize them to treat as workers.
- Remember we live in a consumer driven economy. Because of stagnant wages in the 80′s, debt was created for growth. If they can bailout banks they can bail out American people, which will respark spending.
Request to table. Seconded.
Vote to table BLOCKED – 23 opposed of 170 present
- Voted based on adjusted wording, no longer states exclusive demand
Town Hall Meeting (PASSED – 3 opposed, 170 present)
Proposal to accept invitation by Move the Money Chicago the organizing coalition of the Town Hall Meeting on Oct. 20th at 6pm. Including a pre-event press conference at 5:30pm outside the venue and to have one representative speak at meeting for 1 min. then they are encouraging everyone to join OC at the Fed following the meeting.
- Friendly amendment [accepted]: Outreach will decide on specific details including choosing the speaker among the committee.
- Event is open for anyone to attend.
Presentations for Voting on Saturday:
- Group of people working on local demands, has written a formal proposal. You can view the full list of demands and the preamble on the forum here. [See updated forum post with formal proposal including preamble and demands here] Please feel free to contribute other demands or suggestions.
Global Day of Occupation (10/15) Discussion:
- There will be a 7pm GA as usual followed by a march to our new home
- GA will include legal instructions and suggestions. As legal ramifications are possible, make sure you make a decision to participate in march and base camp occupation based on your individual situation
- Remember that we will continue to have a presence at LaSalle & Jackson, so if you choose not to participate you can always join Occupy Chicago there on the sidewalk.
- Location is TBD and will be announced during the march following GA.
- A 5-7 minute mediation will be held for those interested at LaSalle & Jackson at 6pm. This is a peaceful movement, so meditation and reflection will help to keep us strong and centered in this movement.
- See calendar on right of home page with the days events, also at top of minutes
- Remember that 50,000 are watching, we represent the American people, the city of Chicago and the 99%.
- There will be a health & safety briefing at 1:30pm at LaSalle & Jackson
- Proposal to use donations to purchase supplies to prepare for pepper spray just to be prepared for worst.

Impaired Drivers Make July 4th Holiday Period One Of Deadliest On Roadways
Date of News Release: 06/28/2007
(FRANKFORT, Ky.) -Despite high gasoline prices at the pump, the Kentucky State Police expects heavy traffic throughout the commonwealth during the upcoming July 4 holiday period. With the Fourth of July falling on a Wednesday, many travelers will extend their vacation plans to include the weekend before or after the celebrated holiday. KSP will have increased patrols during this time frame and motorists are urged to use extreme caution while traveling.
"Throughout the country, the July 4th holiday period has become one of the most dangerous times for highway travel," says Kentucky State Police Commissioner Jack Adams. "Last year, there were 1,160 crashes on Kentucky roadways during this four-day time period. These collisions resulted in 16 fatalities and 494 people injured. Many of these deaths and injuries could have been prevented if motorists practiced basic defensive driving skills such as obeying speed limits, using seat belts and not driving while impaired by drugs or alcohol."
Impaired driving tends to increase during holiday periods, notes Lt. Col. Dean Hayes, director of the KSP Operations Division. "Unfortunately, too many people don't understand that alcohol, drugs and driving just don't mix," he says. "Impaired driving is no accident, nor is it a victimless crime."
State Troopers will be aggressively enforcing Kentucky's zero tolerance policy regarding impaired driving during the July 4th holiday period says Capt. Tim Lucas, commander of the KSP Highway Safety Branch. As part of Operation C.A.R.E (Combined Accident Reduction Effort), troopers will be working overtime to provide increased saturation patrols and traffic safety checkpoints in high crash, high traffic locations, radar and laser details and coordinated enforcement activities with local police and sheriff's departments for maximum coverage.
"Although driving with a blood alcohol level of .08 is illegal, you can also be arrested for lower levels if you are under 21 years of age or operating a commercial vehicle," Lucas explains. "If you are going to drive, it's best not to consume any alcohol at all."
"Even first time violators face immediate arrest, which can result in court costs, legal fees, higher auto insurance rates, fines, loss of license and even imprisonment," he adds. "The consequences are serious and real."
KSP reminds motorists that Kentucky law requires them to slow down and use caution when they see a law enforcement or emergency vehicle stopped alongside the road with its lights flashing. They must move over to the lane farthest away from the vehicle if they are on a four-lane road with two lanes proceeding in the same direction and can do so safely.
Motorists should also be aware that the back seat is the safest place for children to sit, especially in vehicles equipped with passenger-side air bags. Infants and toddlers should never ride in the front seat of a vehicle with a passenger-side air bag.
Kentucky law requires all children 40 inches in height or less to be buckled into a child safety restraint seat that meets federal standards. Children over 40 inches tall must wear a seat belt. Violation of this law will result in a $50.00 fine with an additional $10.00 fine donated to the Traumatic Brain Injury Trust Fund.
Kentucky law makes the driver responsible for assuring that all occupants of the vehicle are properly restrained. Violation of this law will result in a fine not to exceed $25.00.
Other tips recommended by KSP for safe road travel include:
- Obey speed limits.
- Slow down in roadway construction zones.
- Don't tailgate.
- Avoid aggressive driving behaviors.
- Expect the unexpected and be prepared to react.
- Watch for objects in the road road such as tire treads, garbage, lumber, gravel, tree limbs, mufflers and exhaust parts.
- Take extra care on rural roads with 55 mile per hour speed limits.
- Avoid or minimize in-car distractions such as cell phone use, changing tapes or CDs, eating, etc..
- Get enough sleep.
- Take frequent breaks to keep alert during long distance trips.
- Be extra cautious around large trucks.
"Crashes can happen anywhere," says Lucas. "Three out of four happen within 25 miles of home at speeds of 45 miles per hour or less. About 40 percent of all fatal crashes occur on roads where the speed limit is 30 miles per hour or less."
"I urge all Kentuckians to observe the speed limit, wear seat belts and refrain from driving while impaired by drugs or alcohol," says Commissioner Adams. "These are very easy things to do and they may mean the difference between life and death."
Citizens can further contribute to highway safety during the holiday period by reporting erratic drivers to the KSP toll-free hotline at 1-800-222-5555 (in the state of Kentucky only, does not work out of state). Callers will remain anonymous and should give a description of the vehicle, location, direction of travel and license number if possible.

The Plumed Midge-orchid is a terrestrial orchid growing to 20 cm high (Jones in Harden 1993).
This species was originally described from Kurnell, NSW but had not been seen since, despite much searching, until it was rediscovered in the Marulan area (Bishop 1996). The species is presently known from six colonies, all located on private property near Tallong, east of Marulan on the southern boundary of the NSW Central Tablelands. These colonies are in remnant bushland, but close to rural, residential and other developments. The total population size is estimated to be several hundred individuals (Briggs pers. comm. in NSW NP&WS 1999d).
A morphological examination of the Genoplesium group showed that Genoplesium is monotypic (represented by a single species) and that Corunastylis should be recognised for the majority of species in the group (Jones et al. 2002).
Corunastylis plumosum (previously Genoplesium plumosum) is similar to G. sagittiferum which has a broader, shorter, obovate labellum. G. sp. aff. sagittiferum (southern NSW), which grows with G. plumosum, also has a broader and shorter labellum and has dirty green lateral sepals marked with red (Bishop 1996).
This species grows in heathland, dry sclerophyll forest, and in moss gardens over sandstone sheets. It can also grow on roadside verges (Bishop 1996; Jones in Harden 1993).
There is conflicting information on the flowering time of this species. Jones (in Harden 1993) lists the flowering time as Dec. to Mar. Briggs (in NSW NP&WS 1999d) states flowering time as Mar. and Apr.
The following table lists known and perceived threats to this species. Threats are based on the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN) threat classification version 1.1.

The Charleston staff of Dinsmore & Shohl has added a good cause to its annual pigskin playoff.
The Shohl Bowl will be played at 2 p.m. Nov. 24 at Coonskin Park Soccer Stadium, with the flag football game splitting staff members into two teams — blue and white. Each team has been asked to raise money for the Ronald McDonald House "Share a Night" campaign, with every $20 donated providing one free night at the Ronald McDonald House for families of children who receive medical treatment.
The Shohl Bowl goal is to provide at least 150 free nights for area families.
"We look at this as a great opportunity to have fun outside of the office and engage in some friendly competition," said John Hussell, Dinsore's Charleston office managing partner. "Partnering with the Ronald McDonald House to raise money for the 'Share a Night' campaign makes it all the more enjoyable of an event."
Hussell plans to present a check to the executive director of the Ronald McDonald house before the game. BB&T Wealth Management has sponsored the game with a $1,000 donation.
The team that garners the most nights will win both bragging rights and a prize, and all participants will take part in a barbecue.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (AP) — Police have identified the second of two people slain over the weekend in separate shootings in Springfield.
Brandon Daniels was shot multiple times at about 10 p.m. Saturday outside a bodega following an argument with several other men.
Family and friends say the 29-year-old Daniels was a father of three children who worked at an area Dunkin' Donuts.
Daniels was shot just hours after 25-year-old Adriana Bonet was gunned down at about 2:30 a.m. Saturday in a parking lot next to a pizza restaurant. Two men she was with were also struck after an argument with another group of people.
No arrests have been made in either shooting.
There have now been 14 homicides in the city this year.

OriginOil, an algae research company, is using low-power electromagnetic pulses to deter invading microbes and improve algae production rates without chemicals.
The test launch of an F/A-18E using the futuristic EMALS technology is a first for the Navy, and a step closer to the next generation of aircraft carriers.
The new EMALS technology is intended to replace the Navy's venerable steam catapults. The first launch, of an F/A-18E, takes place on dry land.

Projections for the next 20 years
Based on current global trends, financial, military, social, technological, etc... what are your predictions of what the next 20 years will have in store for your country, state, business, world, or all the above??
Compare what you think will happen to what you hope will happen.
The end of this conversation is drawing near. The theme of which has been very much what I thought it would be. Every one of us can pin point the problems of today that will lead us into a dismal future unless rectified. None of us here on TED has the "power" required to solve these problems. Individually we are far too powerless. Take a look at the size of this online community, there aren't very many of us. We are the people who choose to discuss, debate, and challenge each other. If our need to speak out and communicate about substantial issues was being satisfied completely in our daily lives many of us would not be registered in an online community seeking other like minded individuals who will care about the thoughts we think. An ignorant complacency has been epidemically spreading for too long and feels irreversible which makes the future seem a dark and dreary place. My optimism lies in the fact that we all get "it", we know, we understand, but in order for anything to come out of this understanding of what changes need to be made and what the end result has to be for all of us we need to buckle down and do something. I'm in no way trying to make that a personal attack statement, I don't feel as though we're all standing idly by as everything happens to us.
There were numerous comments suggesting that something big is speeding toward us, a game changer, a war, a revolution, a revelation, a...something. Whatever "it" is I just hope that we can discuss, debate, and challenge each other to become empowered individuals with answers as opposed to a list of problems.
Closing Statement from Ang Perrier
Thank you for all the contributions :)

Aug 26 2013: In the next 20 years, I think and hope we will begin a re-sensitizing process that will cause us to reconnect with our souls. The quest for speed will be less important, and we will begin to enjoy the journey. We will see less focus on these tech startups that are creating nothing more than distractions.

The mission of Rush University Medical Center in Chicago is to provide the very best care for our patients. The methods used to schedule and assign nurse caregivers to patients are consistent with this mission. Nurses at Rush University Medical Center complete an orientation to the medical center as well as the area in which they work. The number of nurses and other caregivers working on patient care units are determined by the acuity of each patient and skills necessary to meet the care needs. The caregiver assignments are reviewed and changes made at the beginning of each shift by a registered nurse working on the unit.
The Illinois Hospital Report Card Act describes the information that patients, family members and the public may request, including the following nurse staffing information:
Individual patients or their family members may contact the nurse in charge of the patient's unit for information about nurse assignments.

- Never disappoints...SarahDined on 9/20/2014Curt and Pam did an outstanding job of helping us celebrate our friends visiting from TX. Request them when you go! We have been and continue to be big fans of Bacchus - favorite restaurant in the city!Special Features:
- AmazingpayalDined on 9/20/2014We chose Bacchus for our friend's birthday, and it did not disappoint. The staff were friendly and attentive without being overbearing. They specifically asked us if we were celebrating anything that night, and after they were aware that it was our friend's birthday, the staff asked her each time for her order first and how she liked the food and whether she was enjoying her experience. The waiter's recommendations were impeccable. The food and wine were superb. This is a wonderful place to celebrate a special occasion or treat yourself to a nicer meal.Special Features:
- Always a Wonderful VisitHappyDinerDined on 9/17/2014Another great visit to Bacchus! Our servers, Dan and Daniel, could not have been more attentive, knowledgable and friendly. If you're not much of a meat-eater as a couple of us are not, there's a vegetarian menu available ( just ask) with a selection that has pasta and more.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not as good as usualEagerEaterDined on 9/16/2014Bacchaus has been my favorite restaurant to go to when in Milwaukee on business. Was underwhelmed this time. The food was good but not great. My wife's spatzel was so salty she could not eat it. When it came time for the check, the waiter was AWOL for ten to 15 minutes. I regret that this was the one time my wife was with me in Milwaukee and that she did not have a chance to experience Bacchaus at its best.
- a memorable eveninglongstemmedroseDined on 9/12/2014Service was more than prompt. Manager was gracious and checked back several times...and also presented a complimentary amuse bouche. The evening's multi-course menu was creative and mostly paired to very good wines. It was a delicious and memorable evening. The staff, the food and the ambiance were all"first-rate". We especially found the cheese presentation with goat cheese paired to fino sherry to be very adventurous and successful. The foie gras course could not have been any better...it was exceptional ! For Friday evening, the dining room was only moderately busy, which made our experience even more intimate and special.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful Team DinnerjstlvfudDined on 9/11/2014We had a team celebration dinner at Bacchus and it was wonderful. There were 7 of us in the group and the service and food were wonderful. Fantastic wine list with both well known favorites and a few hidden gems that surprised me.Special Features:
- Veal Ravioli!!! The rest just goodKenniDined on 9/2/2014We had a series of small plates for dinner. The staff did an excellent job selecting the cheeses for our cheese board. The Veal Ravioli are to die for!! Up near the top of the most delicious things I've ever eaten. I don't say food is great unless it is truly outstanding. The sauce has what I can only call a savory butterscotch flavor. Unique! The Foie Gras was terrific according to my husband. He even offered me some despite the fact I don't eat organ meat. It was that good. Seafood Ravioli and Spinach Risotto fritters were good but not outstanding. A bit disappointing after the Veal ravioli. I've already raved about the veal ravioli to my friends and co-workers. If you go that is the item you Must Have.Special Features:
- One of Milwaukee's BestJRPfeffVIPDined on 8/30/2014We cycle through the Bartolotta restaurants for special occasion dinners. It had been a while since going to Bacchus. Our meal was absolutely great.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always goodycook4Dined on 8/28/2014We always know that we will get an excellent meal when we go to Bacchus and this visit was no different. The porterhouse for 2 was outstanding! Our servers were very attentive. It was a most enjoyable evening.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DeliciouspetcopDined on 8/28/2014We enjoyed a dinner at this elegant place. The service was attentive and open to your queries. Excellent bread (which is not always the case in good restaurants). The scallops opened our eyes to a development of Robluchons famous recipe.Special Features:
- Bacchus first timersurbandinerDined on 8/22/2014Dinner was delicious. Our filets were perfectly cooked. The atmosphere was calm and not rushed. At the end of our dinner, our server brought a special desert for our daughter's celebration which was a nice personal touch. We will definitely be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Enjoyed my Birthday at BacchushvfunwithgrandsonDined on 8/16/2014My grandson & I make Bacchus our special place. He loves their chicken and compares other restaurant's preparation to Bacchus and they never measure up!! He also recommends their gingerale......its "homemade" and he test the wait staff to see if his glass is kept full. Again they didn't disappoint.Special Features:
- Perfect for a special occasionfoodconnoisseurDined on 8/14/2014I would recommend this restaurant to anyone. There are many wonderful dining choices in Milwaukee and this one is tops so far for us. The service and food were superb!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- FinalflingDined on 8/9/2014Bacchus is a delightful restaurant in a lovely building near Lake Michigan. The beautiful wood bar is separate from the restaurant area so any noise from it does not affect the dining room. Food is well prepared and presented. There is a tasting and pairing menu if one chooses it -- very well done. The menu is nicely balanced and the food is delicious. The wait staff is very efficient and friendly and the manager checks each table to see that everything is going well. (He must put 100 miles on his shoes every night!!) This is a well managed and very tasty restaurant. Everything is done well.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- JcvbearDined on 8/9/2014We went here for our wedding anniversary. Service was so nice, we were treated attentively. We chose the chef's tasting menu with wine pairings. It was fantastic and we were happy with our choice. When we go back though, it would be with a group of friends. We do not care for the seating, where one person sits against the wall on a bench and the other sits across the table in a chair, all in a row with the other diners. It does not make for a romantic meal when you feel as though you are sharing such close space with the diners next to you. We could hear their whole conversation and so had more difficulty having one of our own. It was the only downside to this fabulous meal.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice Placejaminb236Dined on 8/9/2014Restaurant was very nice and appealing to the eye, staff was very kind and patient. Food left a bit to be desired for the price, but still good.Special Features:
- As always, fantasticJodyDined on 8/9/2014Since first going to Bacchus, we've found the food extraordinary, the service fantastic, the wine list and dessert excellent. We love the ambience, no matter what season. We will continue to return to Bacchus as we can.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- MKEdinerVIPDined on 8/8/2014Went to Baachus on a beautiful summer night so take advantage of their charming patio with a great view of Lake Michigan. Service was outstanding, as always. The scallops and the veal chop were both delicious. Very nice wine by the glass choices. Perfect little dinner for two on a schools night.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great for vegetarians, too!PhinsterDined on 8/1/2014Wonderfully unexpected vegetarian menu! The caramelized cauliflower was absolutely delicious and just the right helping size.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Amazing meal and ServiceKevinDined on 7/26/20144 of us had the summer 6 course tasting menu and it was fantastic. Gazpacho, Salmon Mousse, Scallops, Pork Belly, Rib eye, and finally a Coconut Sorbet with a Mango gellee(sp). Each course was a pleasant surprise and each was perfectly prepared and presented. I only wish I had the memory and the ability to give each course the description and detail they deserve. The restaurant is understated elegance and the servers were impeccable. Although I do not partake….a friend said the wine list was amazing. Was not an inexpensive experience but if I could I would do it again and again. I have done tastings in the past and love trying things that I may not normally order because I havn't tried them before.Special Features:
- Best I had in twon!JahensonDined on 7/21/2014I was in town for the northwestern mutual annual meeting. Best meal of the week. I will be thinking about it for a long time! Excellent staff and outstanding wine list.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Menu has changedTobbaVIPDined on 7/19/2014The menu has changed since we last dined. They have many more small plates and it seems less entrée choices than I remember. My husband was initially disappointed they did not offer a caesar salad, but really enjoyed the spinach/egg offering. The bread choices are delicious with something for everyone. The Halibut and steak were done to perfection, but our guests thought the veal chop was "chewy" and the lamb chops nothing special. The drinks were made very well and the wait staff was attentive. We were celebrating birthdays and they were very generous with the desserts. The chocolate and strawberry mousse were the best!! Sorbets were very goodSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Lovely dinner.bamwrmAZresDined on 7/19/2014We had a wonderful dinner, just the two of us. The wine list was extensive with some excellent wines. The food was perfect, so delicious and the presentation was great. The two waiters we had were very nice. Friendly, professional and efficient. We look forward to coming back often. We live in Milwaukee only for the summer and in Arizona for the winter, so we will see you each summer when we are here. Will highly recommend your restaurant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Only knockOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/12/2014I get they make their money with booze but you can keep it within reason. Come on $20 for a Grey Goose and Cranberry?Special Features:

- A night outRtinocVIPDined on 7/11/2014This is our second time dinning at Bacchus and it never disappoints. Service is impeccable and food is fantastic. It is expensive, so you might consider it "a special occasion" choice, but it is worth the experience.Special Features:
- Almost PerfectRandolphiteDined on 7/11/2014We started with scallops with a citrus salad and risotto/spinach ravioli. Both were perfect. The asparagus salad was perfect. Entrees' of Halibut and lamb chops were just outstanding. The brown butter cake with pineapple was very good, but not as good as everything else. We also felt the size of this dessert was too small to warrant the high price. Overall we felt we got good value but just a little bit cheated on dessert.Special Features:
- RelaxationwhitefoxDined on 6/30/2014Very relaxing evening - splendid service and food. Our guest was impressed!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- 20th Anniversary!FeedMeDined on 6/27/2014Many fantastic dinners here, and this was no exception. Actually reasonably priced for the quality and quantity of food. More people should visit this Milwaukee jem!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Does not live up to the hypeFoodieDined on 6/27/2014We ordered the chef's menu. Six courses of the chef's choosing paired with wines. The first course was a beet gazpacho in a shot glass. We were told to "shoot it". It was the consistency of pudding and not "shootable" we had to eat it with our forks. The wine with this course and the next was horrible and not at all good with either course. Our 3rd course was a scallop. Yes, A single quarter-size scallop and not a jumbo. One of our drink pairings was a homemade lemoncello that was like moonshine! A salted caramel the size of a bouillon cube and a s'mores dessert the size of a quarter. I was VERY DISAPPOINTED in this restaurant! Not only were the portions tiny but the wine pairings were horrible they should have tried the food.Special Features:
- Fantastic!AprilShowersDined on 6/19/2014My husband and I dined here for our anniversary. It was absolutely perfect. Fantastic food, top notch service, and great ambience. I highly recommend Bacchus!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- What a wonderful experience!out2dineDined on 6/17/2014From the atmosphere on the terrace to the array of dishes we experienced, I would always choose Bacchus! Our server was so friendly and gave just the tight amount of attention on our special night out. So many special touches - can't wait to go back again!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Special Anniversary SpotchrisgDined on 6/13/2014We dined here for our anniversary recently and were stunned with the level of service from the staff. They were so helpful and knowledgable of the menu and wines. Anyone that is looking for a truly wonderful culinary experience must try the chef's tasting menu with wine pairings. So delicious!Special Features:

A Community prayer vigil will be held at Community Clubhouse in Crisp County on Sunday, September 14,2014 at 7pm.
Two new fire sub-stations could soon be built in an under-served part of Lee County.It's part of an overall plan to expand fire services and improve the county's ISO rating which could bring down some people's home insurance premiums. Lee County Commissioners are working on a new project to expand fire services in the County. Some of the areas they would like to see improved include spots along highway 32 west, New York Road, and Leslie Highway.Commissioner Rick Muggridge says they want to build fire substations. Those are unmanned stations that house equipment for volunteers and paid personnel. He says this would improve response time."Instead of showing up with a single truck or two trucks with a two department response we could be with two or three," said Muggridge.He also says there's just a small percentage of the county that needs drastic improvement in fire protection. "With some relatively minor investments, we can give coverage to everybody," notes Muggridge. "Everybody is paying taxes so we want to cover everyone fairly."He says they've already taken some steps to increase manpower, including combining the fire and EMS departments, and cross training workers who are interested."We knew that we needed to increase the manpower responding to fire incidents, we have taken the steps necessary to do that by cross training members of our emergency medical services that were willing to cross train," said Muggridge.Right now commissioners are working with a consultant. The two recommended sub stations would cost between $100,000 to $300,000 each."We are looking, plans are being developed, water sources are being located and those kinds of things so that we can broaden our footprint," said Muggridge. "I think that we can with a couple of scenarios provide greater services without too big an impact on the budget."Muggridge hopes to save on the project by investing in used equipment and fire trucks.Lee County has seven fire stations. Five of them are manned full time.

Mobile apps: The current market
Apple has announced that more than 15 billion applications had been downloaded from their app store within the past three years, suggesting that if anything, app downloads are increasing in popularity. When you talk about these kind of figures, it is understandable why companies are so keen to get on the app bandwagon. Whilst many executives get fixated on having an iPhone app, developing for iOS is just the tip of the iceberg.
This does not take into account the other smartphone operating systems including the likes of Android, RIM, Windows and Symbian; platforms which as of March 2011, account for more than 75% of the UK market. Then throw into the mix that apps are no longer just for smartphones; tablets have arrived - adding to the increasing array of platforms to develop for.
Aside from the largest of companies, many simply do not have the budget to justify developing an individual app for each platform. This realistically leaves a couple of options. Firstly, you could target a specific platform (or even a couple if budget permits), which may well be the majority of your target audience. Secondly, develop a solution which can be applied across all platforms – namely web apps.
The uprising of web apps
The new wave of web applications is effectively an encapsulated term for the use of web technologies such as HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript. These are technologies of which web developers are already familiar with, which means development time is far quicker, and is accessible to not just mobile devices, but desktops, tablets, TVs and more. The introduction of new functionality and features means it has become a real competitor to native mobile applications. Web apps have rich interfaces, they can be used offline and can to some degree even make use of the device's hardware (e.g. Geolocation API which can be used for accessing the user's physical location).
There have also been efforts to replicate the success of the app store distribution model, with the likes of Google setting up their own web app store for the Chrome browser – the Chrome Web Store. The Chrome Web App Store takes just a 5% commission on sales and in-app purchases - as opposed to the 30% commission Apple charges on its native app store which is clearly an incentive. More web app stores are opening and Mozilla is one of the latest reputable organisations to set up shop.
Web apps bypass any censoring or approval process, which means updates and implementation are instantaneous. They can be installed on the device home screen, just like native apps. To further blur this distinction, it's even possible to develop a web app to work offline.
