Howard charged with speeding, reckless driving, 'speed competition'
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. -- Dallas Mavericks forward Josh Howard was arrested in his hometown after police said he was drag racing on a Winston-Salem street.
He is charged with speeding (94 mph in a 55 mph zone), careless and reckless driving, and speed competition. He has been released from the Forsyth County jail on a written promise to appear in court Sept. 23.
Police said an officer saw a black Lexus and a silver Volkswagen speeding along U.S. 421 late Thursday night. The officer stopped the Lexus, and Howard was identified as the driver. Authorities didn't identify the other driver.
Howard played in high school in nearby Kernersville and was a standout at Wake Forest.
According to the Winston-Salem Journal, Howard is in town this week for a basketball camp sponsored by his foundation.
The Dallas Mavericks drafted Howard in the first round of the 2003 NBA draft, and was named to the All-Star team in 2007.
On Jan. 12, 2000, Bobby Phills of the Charlotte Hornets was killed in a similar incident.
Phills was traveling behind teammate David Wesley at more than 75 mph when his Porsche spun and crossed into oncoming traffic. It hit another car, which in turn was struck in the rear by a minivan. Phills was pronounced dead at the scene. The drivers of the other two vehicles recovered.

Earnings Preview: Disney sees 'difficult' Q1 comparisons in studio unit
Disney (DIS) is scheduled to report Q1 results after the market close on Tuesday, February 5, with a conference call scheduled for 5:00 pm ET. The Walt Disney Company is a diversified international family entertainment and media enterprise with five business segments: media networks, parks and resorts, studio entertainment, consumer products and interactive media... EXPECTATIONS: Analysts are looking for EPS of 76c on revenue of $11.21B, according to First Call. The consensus range for EPS is 70c-80c on revenue of $10.98B-$11.41B... LAST QUARTER: Disney reported Q4 EPS of 68c against estimates for 68c on revenue of $10.78B against estimates for $10.92B. The company's media networks revenue was $4.88B vs. $4.8B a year ago, while its studio entertainment revenue was $1.4B vs. $1.46B a year ago. On its Q4 earnings conference call, Disney forecast "difficult" Q1 comparisons in its studio unit from home entertainment, and said that at cable, domestic sports rights costs will be $170M higher in Q1 vs. last year. The company also said Q1 parks and resorts results would be impacted by a timing shift. During the quarter, Disney announced plans to shut down Disney Movies online, its Web Movie service, as the site wasn't keeping up with user demands, and also said it would shutter Junction Point Studios. Disney also increased its annual dividend 25% to 75c per share. Disney and Netflix (NFLX) announced a multi-year licensing agreement that will make Netflix the exclusive U.S. subscription television service for first-run live-action and animated feature films from The Walt Disney Studios. Reuters recently reported that Disney recently started an internal cost cutting review, which could lead to layoffs at its studio and other units... STREET RESEARCH: Stifel Nicolaus expects Disney to benefit from multiple catalysts including a compelling content cycle for its Studio unit and a swing to profitability at its Interactive business. The firm expects Disney's EPS growth to accelerate. B. Riley upgraded Disney to Buy from Neutral on January 23 based on valuation, a strong film slate, higher Theme Park margins and a higher rate card at ESPN... PRICE ACTION: Over the last three months, Disney shares are up almost 8%. Year-to-date, shares are up over 8%. Ahead of earnings, Disney is up almost 0.5% to $54.14.

Nielsen to restate some TV rating due to software glitch, Variety reports
Nielsen (NLSN) acknowledged it uncovered a software error on October 6 that had resulted in TV ratings being allocated incorrectly among broadcast and syndication programming since March 2 and that it would restate the ratings accordingly to fix the errors, reported Variety. The company said 98% to 99% of ratings would not be affected by more than .05 of a ratings point and a person familiar with the situation said some TV networks have an expectation that some of their new fall programming will see a very slight uplift due to the restatement, the report noted. The big four broadcast networks are operated by CBS (CBS), Comcast (CMCSA), Disney (DIS) and 21st Century Fox (FOXA).

Faces of the men who won America's independence: Amazing early photos of heroes of the Revolutionary War in their old age
These stunning images are early photographs of some of the men who bravely fought for their country in the Revolutionary War some 237 years ago.
Images of Americans who fought in the Revolution are exceptionally rare because few of the Patriots of 1775-1783 lived until the dawn of practical photography in the early 1840s.
These early photographs – known as daguerreotypes – are exceptionally rare camera-original, fully-identified photographs of veterans of the War for Independence – the war that established the United States.
Fought in the Battle of Long Island on August 29, 1778.
His unit was the first brigade that went out on Long Island, and was discharged in December after a violent snow storm.
After the war he became a Baptist minister. He was married three times and had eleven children.
On October 20, 1854, he had a daguerreotype taken to give to a granddaughter. He died on January 3, 1855.
A soldier in the Continental army. When the British army evacuated Philadelphia and raced toward New York City, his unit participated in the Battle of Monmouth.
He was part the genocidal attack on Indians who had sided with the British, a march led by General John Sullivan through 'Indian country,' parts of New York and Pennsylvania.
Fishley was a famous character after the war in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, where he lived and was known as 'the last of our cocked hats.'
The majority have been compiled by Utah-based journalist Joe Baumam, who spent three decades researching and compiling the images.
Digging through a myriad of sources - 18th and 19th century battle accounts, muster rolls, genealogical records, pension files, letters, period newspapers, town and county histories - he was able to flesh out the stories of these veterans.
Bauman found and bought eight daguerreotypes, plus five paper prints from the era - considered the largest known collection of Revolutionary War veteran daguerreotypes to date.
The men included a shoemaker, two ministers, a doctor who later managed a vast mercantile empire, a tavern-keeper, a settler of the Ohio frontier, a blacksmith and the captain of a coastal vessel.
Joined the Continental Navy at age 13 and served as a midshipman aboard the frigate Queen of France.
Taken as a prisoner of war, Head was released at Providence, Rhode Island and walked home.
His brother wrote that when he arrived, Head was deaf in one ear and had hearing loss in the other from the cannons' concussion.
Settling in a remote section of Massachusetts that later became Maine, he was elected a delegate to the Massachusetts convention in Boston that was called to ratify the Constitution.
When he died he was the richest man in Warren, Maine and stone deaf because of his war injuries.
A fifer in a Connecticut regiment that raced toward West Point to protect it from an impending attack.
He also participated in a skirmish with enemy 'Cow Boys' at the border of a lawless region called the Neutral Ground (most of Westchester County, New York, and the southwestern corner of Connecticut).
In the early years of the nineteenth century, he helped organize a religiously-oriented land company that headed into the wilderness of what was then the West.
They settled Granville, Ohio, where he was the township treasurer and a deacon of his church.
His daguerreotype shows him holding a large book, most likely a Bible.
They suffered, starved and fought through the Revolution, and their experiences are thrilling - from watching the beginning of the Boston Tea Party, to undergoing capture as a prisoner of war, to fighting in the Monmouth, Quaker Hill, Charleston, Bennington and Yorktown battles, to witnessing the final British surrender.
As amazing as their stories are, the daguerreotype portraits are even more transfixing.
Several years ago, Bauman published the images, along with histories of the men, in an e-book, Don't Tread on Me: Photographs and Life Stories of American Revolutionaries.
He was a 16-year-old apprentice blacksmith in Boston working on the night of December 16, 1773 when a group of young men rushed into the shop, grabbed ashes from the hearth and rubbed them on their faces.
They were among those running to Griffin's Wharf to throw tea into the harbor as part of the Boston Tea Party that started the Revolution.
Mackintosh later served in the Continental Artillery as an artificer, a craftsman attached to the army who shoed horses and repaired cannons.
A Minuteman from Rehoboth, Massachusetts.
Hicks mobilised with his unit and helped seal off a British garrison in Boston after the Battles of Lexington and Concorde .
He served several short enlistments and fought in the Battle of Bennington, August 16, 1777.
After the war Hicks became something of a local celebrity and lived out his final years in in Sunderland, Vermont. He was the last person alive to have seen the Battle of Bennington.
'It gives you a sort of a direct contact with a person who lived that very long time ago, and experienced these almost mythological-type days,' he told TIME.
The inspiration for his epic search was a much earlier collection of daguerreotypes compiled by the Reverend E. B. Hillard, author of The Last Men of the Revolution.
In July 1864, Hillard, accompanied by two photographers, brothers N. A. and R. A. Moore, traveled across New England and New York State to interview and photograph all known surviving veterans - they found six in total.
Five of those images now belong to Bauman who has overseen a reprint of Hillard's original book.
A member of the elite Sheldon's Dragoons.
He sat up all night fanning his commanding officer, Captain George Hurlbut, who had been shot in a fight during which the British captured a supply ship.
Spencer's account of the death of the officer differed markedly from that of Gen. Washington's; Spencer said the wounds of the officer had nearly healed when he caught a disease from a prostitute and this illness killed him, whereas Washington said he died of his wounds.
Spencer's pension was revoked soon after it was granted and for years he and his family lived in severe poverty. Eventually his pension was restored.
He was the guest of honor during New York City's celebration of July 4, 1853.
As a teenager, he helped care for the wounded in his hometown of New Haven, Connecticut, after the British invaded.
Commissioned as a surgeon's mate when he was 16 years old, shortly before he graduated from Yale. He extracted bullets from soldiers during battle.
In 1781 he was part of Gen. Washington's great sweep to Yorktown, Virginia, which led to Gen. Cornwallis' surrender and American victory of the Revolution.
During the fighting at Yorktown he was an eyewitness to actions of Gen. Washington, Gen. Knox, and Col. Alexander Hamilton.
Gave up medicine after the war and became a wealthy businessman, but his family spoke of how he loved recalling the exciting days of the war, when he was a teenage officer.
Enlisted at age 16, and served as a private from New Hampshire.
At the time his picture was made, he as 102 and living in the town of Edinburgh, Saratoga Country, New York.
He died on February 18, 1867.
Drafted in 1778 for a month of service in New London.
After that, he enlisted for an additional eight months, and in March 1779 was taken prisoner by the British at Horseneck.
After his released, returned to his farm again.
Witnessed the British surrender at Yorktown, the event that guaranteed American independence.
Of the event, he said, 'Washington ordered that there should be no laughing at the British; said it was bad enough to surrender without being insulted.
'The army came out with guns clubbed on their backs. They were paraded on a great smooth lot, and there they stacked their arms.'
Enlisted as a drummer boy who served in Gen. Washington's Life Guard unit.
He was a favorite of Washington's, often playing at his personal request.
Was at the British surrender at Yorktown: 'The British soldiers looked down-hearted. When the order came to "ground arms," one of them exclaimed, with an oath, "You are not going to have my gun!" and threw it violently on the ground, and smashed it.'
Enlisted at age 15 for the coastal defense of his home state, New York.
Writes Hillard in The Last Men of the Revolution, 'The only fighting which he saw was the siege of Castine, where he was taken prisoner; but the British, declaring it a shame to hold as prisoner one so young, promptly released him.'

An early Organic bush bean, that is reliable, heavy yielding, and considered by many to be the earliest producing bean at an amazing 40 days! Perfect for short, cool seasons where other beans my not perform well. Mildew tolerant and still does well in hot weather.
|Pruden's Purple Tomato Seeds
Pruden's Purple was created from the well known and loved Brandywine heirloom tomato. The flavor and texture is similar in many regards. Pruden's Purple yields delicious, large, 14-16 oz fruits with pink-purple skin and crimson flesh. Excellent for those with hot days and cool nights.

A quick recap of the week
Here are a few highlights from the past week on AOA:
+ We gave away tickets to Historic Albany's BUILT event by asking: If you could build anything in the Capital Region, what would it be?
+ That time Albany's Washington Park was a grave yard.
+ Lauren checked out Pittsfield State Forest just over the border in Massachusetts.
+ Sean asked about finding a good HVAC contractor.
+ Eat this: chicken parm at D'Raymond's.
+ We got a look at the new Wolff's Biergarten in Schenectady.
+ What was up in the Neighborhood this week: being the village, a wine tour, Taconic Sculpture Park, an autumn trip to the beach, old school, the new Maestro's, smallcheapunique, beloved soup, Mexican Radio, Soul Cafe, the Squirrelly Six, 8-bit fire, and a particular philosophical pickle of living.
+ Liz asked about finding a church with a younger congregation.
+ A look at Impact Downtown Albany's vision for what the city's downtown could be.
+ The Campaign Yard Sign Design Election returned!
+ Lauren got a look at the newly-opened The Shop in Troy, and talked with the owners.
+ An estimate of the Capital Region neighborhoods with the most (potential) trick-or-treaters.
+ And Deanna shared the recipe for cider donut bread pudding. Yep, cider donut bread pudding.
Here's the whole week all lined up.
Thanks to everyone who posted a comment or shared an idea or photo this week!
Coxsackie. Skaneateles. Canajoharie.
This is total linkbait, but it's funny linkbait: The real estate website Movoto asked Californians how to pronounces the names of places in upstate New York.
Coxsackie. Skaneateles. Canajoharie. And so on. Hijinks ensue.
Cider donut bread pudding
We saw that Deanna had made this for a party and it looked like an idea that needed to be shared. So, we asked her how to make it.
I recently hosted a group of foodies at my house for brunch to celebrate a good mutual friend. Hosting brunch can be intimidating. Hosting brunch for people who seriously know their food? Even more so.
This was no time to hold back. This is when the big kitchen guns come out: the no-holds-barred, all-stops-pulled kind of cooking.
This was the time for cider donut bread pudding.
Capital Region neighborhoods with the most trick-or-treaters
After a recent conversation about popular trick-or-treat neighborhoods, we were curious about which Capital Region neighborhoods have the most trick-or-treaters.
And while we can't really say without some sort of trick-or-treater census, there are numbers are which neighborhoods have the most potential trick-or-treaters.
So we looked it up. Is there an orange map? You know there's an orange map.
Stuff to do this weekend
It's Halloween. And it's the weekend, so there's plenty of stuff to do.
After the jump we've assembled a bag of fun-sized treats for your weekend. The good stuff. No Necco Wafers. Unless of course you like Necco Wafers. Does anyone like Necco Wafers? Someone must or they wouldn't still be making Necco Wafers...
Wait, what were we talking about?
The weekend! Yes!
After the jump a few things you might like to try this weekend. If you're doing something that you don't see here, drop it in the comments so everyone can see.
And whatever you're up to, have a safe and happy Halloween weekend.
Numbers point to local rise in poverty, food truck owners file second suit against state, SUNY chancellor in line for big raise, goal for year 101
The Albany metro area "registered a significant uptick in the number of residents living below the poverty line" between 2012 and 2013, according to an analysis of Census Bureau data by the Brookings Institution. Local charity organizations say they've been feeling the trend. [Brookings] [TU]
The state Gaming Commission released some previously redacted info regarding the casino applications, including some details about Hard's Rock's arrangement with the proposed Rensselaer casino. [Daily Gazette]
The Democratic Party in New York has sent out letters to about a million registered Democratic voters telling them: "We will be reviewing the ... official voting records after the upcoming election to determine whether you joined your neighbors who voted in 2014." [AP/Daily Gazette]
The owners of the Wandering Dago food truck have filed a second lawsuit against the state arguing that co-owner Andrea Loguidice was inappropriately fired from a position with the state DEC because of her association with the business. They allege DEC officials were wary of her connection to the truck because Andrew Cuomo had expressed criticism of the name. [TU] [Daily Gazette]
A look inside The Shop in Troy
This Friday marks the grand opening for The Shop, a new restaurant and bar in downtown Troy. It's the third commercial space to open at the former site of Trojan Hardware along 4th Street and Congress, following the May opening of Rare Form Brewing Co. and the Collar Works art gallery.
Looking to create a neighborhood bar, owner Kevin Blodgett says The Shop will have a "casual atmosphere, with no pretense. We just want people who are going to enjoy good food and good conversation."
I stopped by to talk to Blodgett and his partner Nada Rifai to get the scoop on the restaurant, the building, and how The Shop fits into Troy.
Pizza fact of the day: We've heard a few times that Halloween is one of the busiest days of the year for pizza shops. How busy? One example today from DC's Pizza in Albany via Twitter: "[Halloween is] easily double [a typical day], out of our top 10 all time highest sales days 6 are #Halloween." So, if you'll be getting pizza Friday evening for a party (or, um, because it's Friday) -- ordering ahead is probably not a bad idea.
NANOvember 2014
The entity now known as the Colleges of Nanoscale Science and Engineering (CNSE) at SUNY Polytechnic Institute (SUNY Poly) is taking over the month of November again and dubbing it NANOvember.
The series of events starts with the annual Community Day this Saturday, November 1, from 11 am-3 pm. It's free. Blurbage:
In addition to getting an up-close look at CNSE's ever-expanding 1.3 million-square-foot megaplex, both adults and children will have the opportunity to interact with CNSE students, faculty and staff, and to participate in a variety of activities that promote a greater understanding of nanotechnology, including:
+ Tours of the cutting-edge cleanroom facilities
+ Hands-on experiments
+ Cleanroom gowning demonstrations
+ A Kid's Corner featuring several kid-friendly activities relating to nanotechnology
+ Sustainable Energy Activities
+ Nanotechnology overview presentations
+ Displays and hands-on activities showcasing research in CNSE's constellations, including health care, energy, electronics and economics
+ Presentations on CNSE's undergraduate program
Among the other NANOvember events: A public Q&A with Alain Kaloyeros at the Albany NanoTech complex on November 17 "bout the growth of the nanotechnology industry across New York State, its impact on the Capital Region, pertinent educational and economic opportunities, as well as any other topics of relevance."
By the way: As we understand it, there is no truth to the rumor the CNSE/SUNY Poly/Nano Empire will be acquiring other months beyond November and incorporating their date-based distinctiveness into its globally recognized high tech temporal ecosystem.
Campaign Yard Sign Design Election 2014, Part I
Election Day is next Tuesday, and that means campaign yard sign season is at its peak. Front lawns, street medians, parking lots, and many other spots are now filled with the signs -- they're everywhere.
So we thought it'd be fun to get together a few designers again to critique this year's crop of campaign yard signs as design objects. (Alternately, you might view this as test of how much questionable typography it takes to make a designer's spleen start throbbing -- and we now have an answer.)
Because it's a campaign yard sign bumper crop, we've split the signs into two batches. First up: governor, state Senate, and Schenectady Family Court.
Schaghticoke cat house condemned, AG candidates debate tonight, Bethlehem police warn against grandparent phone scam, you can't put campaign signs outside the Governor's Mansion
The fugitive arrested in Hudson Falls on Tuesday had jumped bail and escaped from house arrest where he was awaiting trial on rape charges. Police believe he was headed east to try to kill his first victim. [TWCN][WNYT]
The Schaghticoke building where 150 cats were found earlier this week has been condemned and the four people who lived there have been offered housing and medical assistance by the county. Charges against the residents are still pending. Crews are still attempting to rescue cats living inside the walls of the home and trying to determine whether some of the cats actually belonged to other people. [TWCN][TU][Record][WNYT][News 10]
On the second anniversary of Superstorm Sandy, Andrew Cuomo visited Staten Island where he announced an Upstate Strategic Fuel Reserve system in response to fuel supply disruptions that occurred during the event. One of the locations where fuel will be stored for the initiative will be in Rensselaer.[TU][Record]
Andrew Cuomo says allegations that he spent Superstorm Sandy recovery money on television ads are "political baloney." [TU]
The NYT suggests that the handling of Superstorm Sandy and the handling of Moreland Commission have something in common. [NYT]
Impact Downtown Albany's vision of what the city's downtown could be
This week Impact Downtown Albany -- the ongoing project to develop a "tactical" plan for downtown development -- released its vision of what downtown Albany could become over the next 5-10 years.
"This is the shared definition of success based on the hundreds of stakeholders that have been part of this process," Sarah Reginelli -- the new president of Capitalize Albany -- explained to us Tuesday afternoon. "This is really what's been identified as the opportunities that we need to take advantage of to make downtown the best downtown that it can be at this point."
Among the identified possibilities: continued growth of new housing units, unique retail, a "high line"-type park connecting downtown with the riverfront, and transformation of part of the warehouse district.
Here are a few things that caught our attention.
CDTA now offering realtime bus info
CDTA officially announced today that it's now offering realtime info for regular route bus arrivals.* The functionality has previously only been available on BusPlus. Blurbage:
Customers will be able to access real time transit information for CDTA fixed route services through the free CDTA iride mobile application for Apple and Android devices, through Google Maps' mobile apps and maps.google.com, through the trip planner on its website (www.cdta.org) or by speaking with a customer service representative at CDTA's Call Center. Customers will now see a gray clock icon near a route that indicates real time information is available. Real time is currently not available on Northway Xpress service. ...
CDTA tracks its vehicles using GPS devices to report bus location data back to its servers. This information allows CDTA to estimate when the buses will arrive at a stop. If a bus goes off its regular route, the system may not be able to fully predict accurate arrival times.
Here are screenshots of the realtime info display on both Google Maps and the CDTA website.
As long as the realtime info is accurate, the function is a nice addition. In our experience, some CDTA routes and stops tend to have reliable arrival times -- and others less so. (Yep, we're looking at you #10. We know it's not totally your fault what with all the traffic lights and riders. But you've interpreted the concept of a "schedule" very loosely.)
By the way: If you ride the bus, even just occasionally, and you have a smartphone -- definitely get the iRide app if you don't have it already.
* This function has been at least partially active for at least a few days. Thanks to the person who pointed this out to us last week.
CDTA was a sponsor of the Rail, River, Hudson tour.
A young, active church congregation?
Liz emails:
I am looking to join a new church, and truthfully, one thing I'm really looking for is a congregation with a healthy number of members in their 20s and 30s who are active with the church and get together for fellowship activities (and fun). Can anyone recommend a church that skews a little younger or has an active group of younger congregants?
It's a bunch of years since we've had a church question, and it sounds like Liz has something specific in mind.
So, got a suggestion for Liz? Please share!
What's up in the Neighborhood
Among the topics in this most recent spin around the Capital Region's online neighborhood: being the village, a wine tour, Taconic Sculpture Park, an autumn trip to the beach, old school, the new Maestro's, smallcheapunique, beloved soup, Mexican Radio, Soul Cafe, the Squirrelly Six, 8-bit fire, and a particular philosophical pickle of living.
A look inside Wolff's Biergarten Schenectady
The new new Wolff's Biergarten in downtown Schenectady opens Wednesday around 4 pm.
This Wolff's looks a lot like the Albany location, but it's larger, with three garage doors, more picnic tables, lots of flat screens for viewing soccer matches, and the requisite indoor faux tree. The building has been vacant for about ten years. It started out as a service station and last belonged to KEM cleaners.
If the Erie Blvd location seems strange, Matt Baumgartner says, it is a little.
"I think that's also consistent with Wolff's in Albany, which opened before there was much down in that area. And hopefully it will grow the same way."
Renovations on Erie Boulevard and recent growth in Schenectady were encouraging factors, he says. And the building itself interested him. "It was really affordable, and I love an old, sad building -- and this one was really sad. But I knew you could have garage doors, and having the garage doors is a real asset. People love them."
So with a Bombers and a Wolff's, is there going to be a Schenectady Sciortino's too? Baumgartner just laughs.
"Well, that's a good question. There's an empty building across the street."
After the jump, a look inside Wolff's Schenectady.
Alleged serial rapist captured following Fort Edward chase, 80 cats removed from "giant litterbox" in Schaghticoke, meeting on gun violence in Albany, Morette's reopens in Schenectady
An alleged serial rapist was captured overnight in Fort Edward, ending a multi state manhunt. Police say 26 year old Gregory Lewis was wanted in eight states for raping women he has arranged to meet through escort services. Police attempted to pull him over for driving without a license plate when he led them on a high speed chase that ended when he crashed into the Hudson River. [TWCN][WNYT][TU][News 10]
Troopers removed 80 of 150 cats from a Schaghticoke home one trooper described as "a giant litter box." The homeowner and her family were identified as having been involved in three previous cat hoarding incidents.[TU][WNYT][News 10]
A detailed account of the New York State quarantine order for travelers from West Africa - which goes beyond federal recommendations but would seek to allow people to choose where to spend their time under quarantine-- has been released by the Cuomo administration. [NYT]
A West African family in Schenectady County has ended their voluntary 21 day in home stay and has been shown free of Ebola symptoms. [TU][Gazette]
Today's moment of autumn
Looking out over Lincoln Park to the south from the Corning Tower this afternoon.
Albany's First Mass Transit System
Albany city historian Tony Opalka is giving a talk titled "Albany's First Mass Transit System: Horse Cars and Trolleys 1862-1946" this Thursday, October 30 at 10 am at the Albany County Hall of Records. That might be a little hard to get to because of the time of day -- but, you know... trolleys. Earlier: Riding the trolley -- everywhere
Chicken parm at D'Raymonds
There are two types of Italian restaurants in the Capital Region: The eh-talian, and the EYE-talian. The former are the restaurants that serve food more in line with something plucked from the Tuscan hills. The latter are the checkered tablecloth joints where most dishes come slathered in red sauce.
Unless you count D'Raymonds in Loudonville. Then I guess there are three.
D'Raymonds lies somewhere in the middle of the two mentioned above. It embodies the cuisine of red sauce joints with a more upscale vibe. It's Little Italy meets Upper West Side. It's Nonna meets your hot WASPy girlfriend. It's comfort, with class.
No dish on the menu emphasizes this more than the D'Raymonds chicken parmesan.

The BRIT Awards 2014: Most Glamorous Outfits Worn By the Stars on the Red Carpet [SEE PHOTOS]

Brit Awards 2014: Most Glamorous Outfits Worn By the Stars on the Red Carpet [SEE PHOTOS]
The famous stars of the music world made a spectacular show as they arrived on the red carpet ahead of the Brit Awards at London's O2 Arena on Wednesday evening. "Burn" singer Ellie Goulding wore a pink gown first and then changed to a beautiful black dress with a visible side slit as she was the first one to arrive on the red carpet. Singer Boy George gave a look that he seemed to have been smashed up in the face. Could it be make up or for real?
Singer Rita Orra looked gorgeous in her ample cleavage revealing yellow gown while sisters Daanii Minogue and Kylie Minogue looked their glamorous best in black outfits. British model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley wore a sparkling maroon outfit which showed off her wonderfully toned legs and great figure. Rosie's whole looks was quite eye catching in fact.
Singer Laura Mvula looked spectacular in a white off shoulder gown which highlighted her slim figure while singer Nicole Scherzinger ditched the traditional gown for a bold black outfit of pants and a top. She even wore a smart crisp jacket over a printed top. Nicole completed the corporate look with a high ponytail.
Another red carpet sizzler was singer Kimberley Walsh who came dressed in a beige see through sparkly gown which had white flowers on it. One way to describe singer Lilly Allen was - colorful. Though the singer wore a sparkly black floor length gown she highlighted the lower end of her hair with bright yellow colour. Allen's hair was tied high up like Nicole's. She completed the look with a matching yellow tote.
Show presenter Fearne Cotton was dressed in silver from head to toe for her red carpet look. Cotton completed the look with matching silver sandals and a matching silver tote too! Singer and model Iggy Azalea's red carpet look was all red. Beyonce rocked the music scene by wearing a shiny dark blue dress and enthralled the audience. Have a look at the glamorous pictures from the red carpet in the slideshow.

Must Watch: 35,000 Runners At London Marathon Honor Victims Of Boston Marathon With Moment Of Silence Before Start (VIDEO)
The fraternity of distance runners is a deeply personal, eclectic/global mix of individuals who understand pain. Collectively, they share the experience of training for (and actually running) marathons, whereby they endure excruciating physical and psychological duress, forging a profound, transcendental bond between complete strangers simply on the basis of a mutual understanding of human suffering.
In fact, marathons themselves stand in direct contrast to the cowardice of terrorism. That's why it's no wonder that the 2013 London Marathon included an intense, zen-like moment of silence for the victims involved in the Boston Marathon, at the starting line. These people find inhuman strength in the face of extreme adversity — which serves as a testament to the better aspects of humanity, as well as a model for those recovering from the terror attacks of last Monday.
Watch the faces of these people. Truly intense. I wouldn't be surprised if spoons all over the world just started bending out of nowhere.

James Mitchell 'very disappointed' by Foxx's decision; will explore run for mayor of Charlotte
Send this to a friend
- Susan Stabley
- Staff Writer- Charlotte Business Journal
- Email | Twitter | Google+
Surprise. Disappointment. Total support. Those were the reactions Charlotte City Councilman James Mitchell had this morning when Mayor Anthony Foxx called him with the news that he would not seek a third term.
"I am very disappointed," Mitchell, a Democrat who has been a member of the City Council since 1999. "I've always been a big fan of the mayor."
Mitchell believes Foxx would leave behind a stronger legacy if he served another term. But he adds that Foxx has his "total support" in the decision.
And Mitchell signals that he may now run for mayor.
Foxx, a Democrat, has been the Queen City's mayor since 2009. Recent news reports say he's a leading candidate to become U.S. secretary of transportation.
On Friday morning, Foxx released a statement that he would not seek re-election as mayor, citing the sacrifices made by his family, "especially Samara and my two children," to support him during his time in public office.
"My children, who were both born during my service, are getting older — and they still like hanging around me," Foxx said in the statement released Friday morning. "I do not want to be a father who looks back and wishes I had spent more time with them."
Says Mitchell: "All of us have to put our families first, and that's what the mayor is doing."
Mitchell says he will consider running for mayor. "We are exploring options," he said this morning. But he noted it's a decision he needs to make with his family.
The District 2 City Council member has two children and recently married former NASA astronaut Joan Higginbotham.
"She'll make the final call if I do it or not," Mitchell says.

Anderson inspires coaches at Smith-Cotton
Updated On: Apr 29 2014 09:31:43 AM CDT
Kim Anderson was set to begin a long-desired tenure as the University of Missouri's head men's basketball coach on Tuesday.
Anderson grew up not far away, in Sedalia. He played basketball for four years as number 32 on the Smith-Cotton High School basketball squad.
While there, Anderson was an all-American and ABC 17 News learned Monday his legacy continues decades later.
"He inspired me to be where I'm at now, the girl's basketball coach at Smith-Cotton High School," said Zach Vandevender.
Vandevender played for Anderson at the University of Central Missouri from 2002-2005.
"I'm really excited for Coach," he said. "It'll create exciting buzz around Sedalia and here at the high school."
Anderson was the first inductee into Smith-Cotton's Athletic Hall of Fame in 2010. His sister, Kathy, was the second.
The hire Monday has not been without it's critics. One person who knows that all too well is former Smith-Cotton basketball coach and Anderson's childhood friend Martin White.
"He'll show them critics, he's done that his whole life," said White. "He'll go out and prove them wrong."
White retired Anderson's jersey in the 1990's, before the high school had an athletics Hall of Fame.
"When they see him as a player, that's how he coaches, he treats people with respect," he said when asked what he remembered about Anderson's style.
Gathered inside the gymnasium on Monday, White and Vendevender recalled how well liked Anderson's family has been in town. Vandevender said Anderson's father still recognized him from UCM when he ran into at local restaurants.
"This is a pretty big day for us, too," said Smith-Cotton Athletic Director Rob Davis.
Kim Anderson was scheduled to be introduced as the new Mizzou head coach on Tuesday at 10 a.m. on campus.

SBA refi program won't draw many NY companies
Send this to a friend
- Barbara Pinckney
- Reporter
The U.S. Small Business Administration's commercial mortgage refinancing program officially gets underway today, but it does not appear that too many New York companies will be rushing to get their applications in.
The temporary initiative, authorized under the Small Business Jobs Act, expands the SBA's 504 program, which usually is for firms undergoing expansion. As with all 504 loans, the borrower commits 10 percent equity, a lender puts in 50 percent and a Certified Development Company—in New York, that's usually Empire State Certified Development Corp.—contributes 40 percent.
Because funds are limited to $15 billion, the SBA is initially limiting the program to businesses with immediate refinancing needs due to balloon payments due before Dec. 31, 2012.
Patrick MacKrell, president of the ESCDC, said he does not believe too many New York businesses are in that category.
"In order for the program to be really helpful, people would have to have mortgages with relatively short maturities," he said. "Banks in New York tend to be more conservative and have longer maturities on their loans. We are expecting some activity, but not a lot. Maybe six applications a month."
MacKrell said one large bank checked its data base for the SBA's criteria and a found a total of just $50 million in eligible loans.
"And that is for the entire East Coast," MacKrell said. "And I bet most of them were not in New York."
The SBA may eventually extend the refinancing program to businesses with balloon payments due after 2012, or those that can demonstrate strong need in other ways. MacKrell said that would increase activity in New York.

Waterstone Mortgage to move to larger Pewaukee headquarters
Send this to a friend
- Stacy Vogel Davis
- Associate editor- Milwaukee Business Journal
- Email | Twitter | Google+
Waterstone Mortgage Corp. plans to move into a new headquarters in Pewaukee in June after outgrowing its existing office space, president and chief executive officer Eric Egenhoefer said.
Waterstone Mortgage, a subsidiary of Wauwatosa-based Waterstone Financial Inc., has signed a lease for a former GE Medical Systems building at N25 W23255 Paul Road, Egenhoefer said.
The company currently operates in 35,000 square feet spread across three buildings — its main office at 1133 Quail Court, Pewaukee, the building next door and the WaterStone Bank branch across the street. The new building is 55,000 square feet. Waterstone will occupy 40,000 to 45,000 square feet to start with the rights to eventually use the rest of the space, Egenhoefer said.
Waterstone Mortgage is on pace to grow 66 percent this year, according to a November Business Journal article. It has added about 70 people to its corporate office this year, bringing the total to 170, Egenhoefer said.
"I think we'll be able to operate a little more efficiently under one roof," he said.
The company employs nearly 600 people nationwide.
Associate Editor Stacy Vogel Davis covers retail and tourism for the Milwaukee Business Journal. She also covers restaurant news through her Table Talk blog on The Business Journal website and column in the weekly edition.

PARIS (Reuters) - There are small signs of encouragement in Michael Schumacher's condition but the most successful former Formula One champion of all time faces a long fight to recover after suffering severe head injuries in a skiing accident, his agent said on Wednesday.
"We are and remain confident that Michael will pull through and will wake up," his agent and spokeswoman, Sabine Kehm, said in a written statement.
"There sometimes are small, encouraging signs, but we also know that this is the time to be very patient," she added.
Schumacher, 45, slammed his head on a rock while skiing off-piste in the French Alps resort of Meribel on December 29.
The seven-times world champion has been in a stable but critical condition since then in a hospital in the eastern French city of Grenoble where doctors started lowering his sedation at the end of January to wake him up from an artificial coma.
"It was clear from the start that this will be a long and hard fight," Kehm said.
"Michael has suffered severe injuries. It is very hard to comprehend for all of us that Michael, who had overcome a lot of
precarious situations in the past, has been hurt so terribly in such a banal situation."
