Elizabeth Perkins, daughter of Daryl (Frog) and Ann Perkins of Owen County, was honored during the White Coat Ceremony at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Louisville Jan. 8.
Karen Wash, a registered nurse from Owen County, was the medical professional selected by Perkins to present her coat, representative of her development as a pharmacy student.
Perkins is currently enrolled in the Sullivan University College of Pharmacy and anticipates graduation in June 2013.
She is the granddaughter of Wilma Perkins and the late Harold J. Perkins and Carolyn Montague and the late Wallace Montague.
The Owen County Public Library Foundation Board recently announced that the inaugural winners of the James R. Ford Memorial Scholarship have received the second portion of the $1,500 scholarships. Dillon Mears is attending Kentucky Christian University and Joel Wilson is attending Northern Kentucky University. These scholarships are renewable, and are awarded to Owen County residents who are attending Kentucky colleges.
"It's Sew Fine: for Home and Family" Sewing Expo will be held April 12-13 at General Butler State Resort Park in Carrollton.
The 2011 Sewing Expo schedule includes registration starting at 10 a.m. April 12 followed by "Make-it and Take-it" session of a patchwork name tag until noon.
On the opening afternoon, participants take a half-day class offering a variety of options including: "Old Blocks ... New Tricks," "Working With Wool-Embroidery Envelope," "Mastering Miters," "Texture Magic," and more.
I got out Jan. 10 and stocked up on dog food and supplies and was in the house till Friday. I was beginning to feel like a house plant. I finished my last book on Thursday, so I was desperate to get to the library. This week looks much better, but just in case, I stocked up on books.
Ask a 4- or 5-year-old what they want to be when they grow up and many of them will tell you they want to be a doctor. But often, the harsh realities of time and finances make this dream improbable if not impossible for many.
The New Horizons Medical Foundation wants to change that for Owen County residents who are seeking a career as a doctor, nurse, physical therapist or careers in a number of other medical fields in an effort to increase those trained to provide services right here in the community.
Following the arrests of two Owen County residents for "one-shot" methamphetamine labs, two other residents were recently indicted for methamphetamine-related charges.
Bobby L. Schulz, 23, and Shane C. Schulz, 18, were indicted Jan. 11 and warrants have been issued for their arrest.
Bobby L. Schulz was indicted for first-degree possession of a controlled substance (first offense) and three counts of unlawful distribution of a methamphetamine precursor (first offense).
Because Owen County was hit with another wintery mess last week, local students will be in school until the end of May.
Owen County Schools were closed Jan. 11, 12 and 13 due to snow.
Combined with four snow-days in December, the students have now missed seven days of classes during this school year.
Owen County Director of Pupil Personnel Charlotte Elkins said students will make up the days missed in December by attending May 20, 23, 24 and 25. And the makeup days for last week will be Feb. 21, May 26 and 27.
Following a proclamation made by Owen County Judge-executive Carolyn Keith, all citizens are urged to honor local school board members throughout the month of January.
On Jan. 11, the Owen County Fiscal Court held its first regular meeting of the year, where Keith signed a proclamation honoring the members of the Owen County Board of Education during the 2011 observance of School Board Member Recognition Month.
The Kentucky Public Service Commission recently granted a rate increase to Winchester-based East Kentucky Power Cooperative, the wholesale electric power supplier for Owen Electric Cooperative and 15 other member cooperatives.
The PSC approved the rate increase for service rendered on and after Jan. 14.
According to a statement released by the company, EKPC sought the rate increase to "strengthen its financial condition and continue building equity."
Last Sunday, everyone was welcomed on a cold January morning. Carol blessed us with beautiful music on the piano — how wonderful it is to hear that sound again.
Bro. Jared touched our hearts with the words of God.
"Where Has Satan Found You?" was the message taken from Genesis 44:16, Numbers 32:23, I Peter 2:25, I Peter 5:8, and Malachi 3:10.

I have MediaWiki 1.16.2 on a the following LAMP platform, which performs quite good for other apps on a 16 GB RAM dual processor machine: CentOS 5.7 (64-bit) Apache 2.2.3 MySQL 5.0.77 PHP 5.1.6
It seems to depend somewhat on the used browser, but very frequently saving edited pages is too slow - not rare to wait 10 or 20 seconds for it even more for a very simple change.
Rendering the pages works pretty fast, but it's the saving after editing which is killing the user experience. I have detected some improvement when editing from a client running Opera than on Firefox (on a Fedora Linux platform).
Any hints about where can I tune up the server to make it better ?
Benchmarks of Apache run on the machine are impressive, BTW.

Morihiko Furuta
Message from the President
I thank you one and all for your faithful support and patronage of Furuta Confectionery and our products.
In the 60-plus years since our founding, with "taste, dream and health" as the motto, our business has grown steadily, which owes entirely to your kindness and consideration and for which I am indebted.
In addition to further enhancement of products and service we provide at present, with the aim of responding to change, we will open a new factory in Hirao, Sakai City, this summer. Thus, we will make new proposals to truly become a "smile factory," a factory that puts a smile on the faces of people around the world by providing tasty, high quality confections.
We supply a well-developed new lineup of products this year, which include "Kin-no-Nama Cream Chocolate" that has an excellent melt-in-the-mouth quality, "Asa-no Sequoia Chocolate" that has a new angle, as well as baked confections including "Harmonia" cookies, while the "Choco Egg" series abounds in new subjects, featuring such characters as "Super MARIO," that marks its anniversary and "Star Wars," of which the latest film will be released.
Also, as a pioneer company of professional-use chocolate, Furuta Confectionery has gained the favor of various customers.
This year, through the enhancement of production at the newly-built Hirao Factory and strengthening security and safety, by acquiring "ISO22000 / FSSC22000," we will demonstrate our collective strength as a chocolate company to make renewed efforts for producing characteristic products.
We wish to put smiles on people's faces throughout Japan and all over the world. I ask for your continued guidance and encouragement as we keep taking on the challenge of bringing a "smile factory" into reality.

Reference Implementation: SharePoint List Data Models
Microsoft® SharePoint® 2010 introduces new functionality that makes it easier to implement real-world data models using SharePoint lists. In particular, the ability to build relationships between SharePoint lists and the ability to impose behavioral constraints on these relationships, such as cascading deletions and restricting deletions, brings the capabilities of SharePoint lists closer to those of a relational database and boosts the credentials of SharePoint as a platform for data-driven applications. The introduction of the LINQ to SharePoint provider makes it easier to query data in SharePoint lists without constructing complex Collaborative Application Markup Language (CAML) queries. The SharePoint List Data Models reference implementation demonstrates how you can use these new features to implement a relatively complex data model on the SharePoint platform, and how you can use that data model to power a fairly sophisticated data-driven application.
The implementation highlights techniques and best practices in the following areas:
- Using SharePoint lists to implement a data model.
- Modeling many-to-many relationships with SharePoint lists.
- Building entity classes for use with the LINQ to SharePoint provider.
- Using LINQ expressions to query SharePoint lists.
- Using ViewModel classes with LINQ to SharePoint in order to simplify user interface logic.
Solution Scenario
In this example, suppose you are providing consultancy services to a pharmaceutical company named Contoso Inc. Contoso has production plants in several locations that operate an extensive range of manufacturing machinery. Every machine requires parts to be replaced on a regular basis due to wear and tear in the course of everyday operations. Different types of machines consume a wide variety of parts, which means the manufacturing team at Contoso must manage large amounts of information relating to machines, parts, and suppliers.
Currently, the Springfield production plant uses a desktop application built on FoxPro to track part inventories for machine maintenance and repair. This application is used by the warehouse manager to track how many parts are in inventory and where the parts are located. The data model for the parts management system is relatively complex, and includes one-to-many relationships, many-to-many relationships, and foreign key constraints that restrict the deletion of rows that have dependencies in other tables. Whenever employees need a spare part for maintenance or repair, they must contact the warehouse manager to see if the part is available, slowing down both the warehouse manager and the employees. The user interface for the current parts management system allows the warehouse manager to search for items using wildcard filters, and allows him to create, update, and delete items. The user can also browse associated data; for example, users can browse the parts associated with a specified machine.
Imagine now that as part of an infrastructure consolidation and employee efficiency exercise, the Contoso manufacturing team wants you to migrate this functionality to the Contoso SharePoint 2010 intranet portal. To accomplish this, you create a SharePoint solution that implements the part management data model using SharePoint lists. The solution includes several custom Web Parts and Web Part pages that allow employees to create, retrieve, update, delete, and query entities in the parts management system from a centrally managed site.
Deploying the SharePoint List Data Models RI
The SharePoint List Data Models RI includes an automated installation script that creates various site collections, deploys the RI components, and adds sample data. After running the installation script, browse to the new SharePointList site collection at http://<Hostname>/sites/sharepointlist. You can open and run the project in Visual Studio, but this does not create a site collection or add sample data. To see the system fully functioning, you must run the installation script. The following table summarizes how to get started with the SharePoint List Data Models RI.
Where can I find the Workflow Activities RI?

What is the name of the solution file?
What are the system requirements?

What preconditions are required for installation?
How Do I Install the SharePoint List Data Models RI?
Follow the instructions in the readme file located in the project folder.
What is the default installation location?

text: 11 Jan 2016 David Bowie's 20 greatest tracks Previous slide Next slide 1 of 20 View All Skip Ad David Bowie, one of the great rock musicians of the modern era, died on Janaury 10 2016 aged 69. Here, Neil McCormick and Morwenna Ferrier run through 20 essential songs. Listen to this playlist on Spotify David Bowie dies: latest news and reaction 1. BLACK COUNTRY ROCK (1970) 1970 was a productive start to the decade for Bowie. He was on the cusp of perfecting 'Ziggy' and flitting between acoustic and electric sounds. This track defines his brief flirtation with the blues-rock genre. Visconti-produced and T-Rex inspired, in Bowie's typical, insular style at the heart of this song is an in-joke: a piercing vibrato, sung in mocking reference to Marc Bolan but in fact replacing place of forgotten lyrics. Which ones, we'll never know. (Pictured: David Bowie in concert at The Roundhouse, London, March 1970) Listen to this playlist on Spotify David Bowie quotes: I let my imagination run wild Credit: Ray Stevenson/Rex Features 2. ANDY WARHOL (1971) Taken from his resolutely dark pop album, Hunky Dory, this pared-down ode to the Sixties artist begins with a disagreement between Bowie and his producer, Ken Scott, over the pronunciation of "Warhol". Unresolved, Bowie collapses into laughter and immediately segues into a flamenco riff, rolling and growling his words in mock-praise of the artist. Quite understandably, Warhol despised the song for making fun of him. (Pictured: Andy Warhol, 'Self Portrait', detail, 1986) Listen to this playlist on Spotify David Bowie 1996 interview with Mick Brown: I have done everything it's possible to do Credit: Andy Warhol Museum/EPA 2. LIFE ON MARS (1971) The Telegraph's Neil McCormick ranked this number one in his top 100 songs of all time, and it truly is Bowie at his surrealist, anti-romantic best. In the scribbled note that accompanied its release in 1971, Bowie described the song "a sensitive young girl's reaction to... songs like My Way, films like Love Story and newspapers", later amended to "reaction to... The Media". The narrative, (and there is a one, albeit tumbling and non-sensical), is second only to the tune: a piano-led, show tune mimicking the trajectory of new-found fame. (Pictured: David Bowie's suit, worn in the music video for Life on Mars) Listen to this playlist on Spotify Credit: Geoff Pugh/V&A 4. MOONAGE DAYDREAM (1972) Opening with the immortal/oddball line "I'm an alligator", this trilling glam-rock stomp of a song was first recorded by Bowie under the stage name, Arnold Corns. A year later it appeared on the 1972 album, Ziggy Stardust, and introduces his audience to the rise, fall and rapid obsolescence of his alien messiah sent down to save the world in five years. In the context of the album, this makes perfect sense. (Pictured: David Bowie as Ziggy Stardust, in concert at the Hammersmith Odeon, London) Listen to this playlist on Spotify Credit: Ilpo Musto/Rex 6. FAME (1975/1990) Self-referential wheeze or post-modern pop? Well, both really, since it was written and recorded with mid-Seventies collaborator John Lennon and touches on a subject he's familiar with. Inspired by a twinkling riff written by guitarist Carlos Alomar this was first released in 1975 to huge success. Bowie re-released it in 1990 to promote his Sound and Vision tour to further praise and roped in Gus Van Sant for the video – a fitting if self-aggrandizing montage of his previous videos. Listen to this playlist on Spotify Credit: RCA 7. WILD IS THE WIND (1976) One of many Bowie songs led by a saxophone, this song was written for Johnny Mathis in 1957 and covered by Nina Simone before Bowie got his psych-pop hand on it in 1976. It's a dreamy, Blakeian tune of love gained and lost which has taken on an almost-religious significance in modern culture. Unsurprisingly, it's a favourite at funerals. (Pictured: Johnny Mathis in 2002) Listen to this playlist on Spotify Credit: Reuters 8. SOUND AND VISION (1977) Sung in Bowie's typically late Seventies, laconic style, this paranoid critique of modern technology was a departure for glam-rock Bowie. A punch of a song at the start of Low (produced by Tony Visconti) it showed Bowie entering a new, dispassionate style which would divide his listeners but, with its liberal use of synthesisers, also cement his status as a trailblazer of the electronica. (Pictured: David Bowie at the Berlin Wall) Listen to this playlist on Spotify Credit: Denis O'Regan/Getty 9. HEROES/HELDEN (1977) A product of Berlin and nod to German group Neu, when Bowie released this late Seventies krautrock-inspired track, written with Brian Eno, it was met with mediocre success. Nowadays, it's regarded as one of his best songs although the part English, part German version, Helden, is far superior to the English original if only because he proved that German can be sexy. Listen to this playlist on Spotify 10. SENSE OF DOUBT (1977) An offbeat choice but one that resonates in modern electro, psych-rock. Formed almost entirely of one descending four-note piano motif and a sharp, horror-film siren, it was used to great effect in the German filmChristiane F (in which Bowie has a brief but key cameo) to aptly soundtrack the protagonist's descent into heroine addiction. (Pictured: a neon sign from the V&A's 2013 David Bowie Is exhibition) Listen to this playlist on Spotify Credit: Neil Hall/Reuters 11. SPACE ODDITY (1969) It all begins here, a strung-out, shape-shifting epic of alienation. In 2013, the song was covered by the Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield, who recorded the song while aboard the International Space Station. Listen to this playlist on Spotify Credit: Rex Features 12. THE MAN WHO SOLD THE WORLD (1970) A brooding, mysterious ballad of worlds within worlds, driven by one of the weirdest guitar riffs in pop history. (Pictured: David Bowie and director Nicolas Roeg on the set of The Man Who Fell to Earth) Listen to this playlist on Spotify Credit: Duffy/Getty 13. THE JEAN GENIE (1972) Glam rock perfection: a chugging cut up paean to Iggy Pop's outsider swagger. (Pictured: Iggy Pop, the inspiration for the song) Listen to this playlist on Spotify Credit: Brian Rasic/Rex 14. YOUNG AMERICANS (1975) Bowie gets his groove on for saxophonic stab of smooth, syncopated US soul. Listen to this playlist on Spotify 15. BLACKSTAR (2015) Venturing once more into the outer limits of pop, Blackstar is a gorgeously inscrutable avant jazz sci-fi torch song, all slippery drum'n'bass rhythm, two-note tonal melody with hints of Gregorian chant, shifting time signatures, churchy organ and spaced out wandering sax - like Ornette Colman on a moonwalk. (Pictured: David Bowie in the video for Blackstar) Listen to this playlist on Spotify 16. ASHES TO ASHES (1980) The return of Bowie's lost astronaut in self-referential off-beat epic, its innate peculiarity counterbalanced by pinging hooks, lyrical memes and melodies as catchy as the common cold. (Pictured: David Bowie's costume for the Ashes to Ashes music video, at the V&A's 2013 David Bowie Is exhibition) Listen to this playlist on Spotify Credit: Geoff Pugh/V&A 17. CHINA GIRL (1983) Bowie smartens up for the 80s with Nile Rodgers superslick remake of an old Iggy Pop / Bowie emotional addiction anthem, featuring cheesily brilliant oriental hookline. (Pictured: David Bowie in London, 1983) Listen to this playlist on Spotify Credit: Andre Csillag/Rex 18. BRING ME THE DISCO KING (2003) A jazztastic workout from Bowie's 2003 album, Reality, with Mike Garson's eloquent piano framing Bowie's poised vocal. A song of escape from a confining past, Bowie sings "let me disappear". And then he did - for ten whole years. Listen to this playlist on Spotify 19. THE NEXT DAY (2013) The title track from Bowie's first album after a decade away opens with a snare slam and see-saw guitar riff appropriated from Fashion but ramped up with a Sonic Youth attack. Imagistic lyrics conjure a fallen idol betrayed and punished by "the gormless and baying crowd" who "can't get enough of that doomsday song". "Here I am, not quite dying," chants Bowie, while his band punch and howl. Listen to this playlist on Spotify 20. WHERE ARE WE NOW (2013) Lush, stately, beautifully strange, weaving resonant piano chords, decaying synths and echoing drums around a simple chord progression and a weary, tenderly understated, quietly defiant vocal, David Bowie's elegiac most recent single may be the most surprising, perfect and welcome comeback in rock history. (Pictured: David Bowie and Tilda Swinton in the music video for his 2013 single, The Stars Are Out Tonight) Listen to this playlist on Spotify Credit: FLORIA SIGISMONDI/AFP/GETTY Back to image Back to image Back to image Back to image Back to image Back to image Back to image Back to image Back to image Back to image Back to image Back to image Back to image Back to image Back to image Back to image Back to image Back to image Back to image Back to image Back to image

I just recently finished a judging "blitz" of several local contests and had some darn fine examples of competition style barbecue with only a few that were below par. I wanted to give a little love to the folks at the Winnie Rice Festival for really putting on a fine event and treating the judges well and making sure everyone had a great time. If you ever get the opportunity or have the desire to go judge a contest, the Rice Festival is a great place to start.

From the good-times team that brought you Goodfella's and Madison's comes Beaumont's latest Frankie Randazzo/Buck Maraist brainchild – Bar Local – now open in the old Pacesetter Lounge at the Colonnade Shopping Center on Phelan Boulevard.
While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us "that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas," we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth. We're of the opinion that headlines and sound bites never tell the whole story. Our readers demand all the facts, facets and flavors of every story or event. And, they expect to be informed, educated and stirred to action.

give 100% no matter what.
give 100% no matter what. When you both give all you both receive all. Never go to bed angry. And I love you is a must everyday.
Here's a look at the customs, traditions, and etiquette of wedding rituals—then and now.
"Keep your eyes wide open before marriage, and half shut afterwards."
–Benjamin Franklin (1706-90)
Although engagement rings have been popular through the ages, it wasn't until Archduke Maximilian of Austria presented a diamond to Mary of Burgundy in 1477 that the tradition of offering the most enduring gem on Earth took hold. These days, the majority of brides receive diamond engagement rings.
Tradition suggests that the bride's parents pay all wedding expenses. Today, when couples tend to be older, the majority of couples often share the wedding expenses with their parents. A small percent still rely on their parents to fully fund their big event.
According to tradition, only an unmarried woman could be a maid of honor, and only the brother, best friend, or father of the groom could be the best man.
The original purpose of the bridesmaid and the best man was to aid in the capture of the bride, get her to church on time, and keep any hostile family members away! Now the bridesmaids usher the guests to their seats, the best man carries the ring, and offers a toast.
Once the flower girl's role was not simply to spread petals down the aisle but, with her shield of virginity, to protect the bride from the Devil. Today, the ring bearer can be a girl, boy, or even a dog!
Being given away is a tradition that evolved from the days when men bought brides from fathers or, even worse, captured them. Today, brides ask either parent or both parents to walk them down the aisle.
The traditional wedding vows have given way to more personal expressions of love. Many couples have dropped the wording "honor and obey" in favor of promising to be each other's best friend.
Rice is the latest in a long list of fertility symbols that have been thrown at newlyweds. Over the centuries, guests have tossed cakes, grain, fruit, sweetmeats, and biscuits.
Nowadays, it's common to shower the couple with rice or the more environmentally-friendly birdseed. Another idea is to toss dried rose petals.
We asked married readers of The Old Farmer's Almanac to share their advice for making a marriage work. Here's what some said.
give 100% no matter what. When you both give all you both receive all. Never go to bed angry. And I love you is a must everyday.
I really did not know the history of the diamond as a engagement ring. thanks for sharing the information.
Remember that sometimes "The Least Said Is The Least Mended".
Remember that sometimes "The Least Said Is The Least Mended"
be honest & truthful & never forget how you felt the day you shared your vows,why you chose each other, keep that feeling,and the love you felt that day will carry you through all your good and bad tomorrows. It has worked for us 44 years.

I'm sure there's an inside joke there I don't get, but the Frizzelle quip made me laugh out loud. Good one, David.
Cool, can't wait to hear "Awesome"'s musical take on David's visit.
On second thought, it would probably be better as a Half Brothers song.
Back when my mom forced me to go to church, there were always these teenage dipshits trying to play Blink 182 guitar riffs on their cheapass bass that God allegedly handed them. It was bad. Just bad. Most of my church hour was spent circling the church, desperately waiting for service to get the fuck out.
I'll never recover from all that church has done to me. Ever.
How could you possibly forget the Amazing Dr. Nixon? Just the thought of a Doctor of Philosophy mingling with the Prayer Warriors makes me pee my pants a bit.
50 years ago and in certain parts of this country a black man/white woman thang would have been cause for stringing the guy up and lopping off his scrotum. Thank goodness those days are over and long gone.
But how funny odd (not funny haha) that even though the leader and the parishioners of this establishment don't officially condone that for gay couples, one gets the distinct feeling - born from their past behavior - they wouldn't mind it all that much if it did happen.
How sad they have such a tiny sense of history and such a narrow scope of the overall, but it isn't surprising given the setting.
Loved the piece, by the way.
where was the Center for Spiritual Living on Sand Point Way in Laurelhurst? even though i know one of the ministers, i don't get it. i want to know what's going on in there. there's a ton of people there on sunday mornings.
i know its not buddhism, so i'm not going to get into it. i'm just curious.
You should have sent someone out to 24/seven Ministry Center, which is a very non-traditional Seventh-Day Adventist church that meets every Saturday at Bellevue Community College.
Its a small congregation, of many musicians & artists, the majority of the "regular" attendees are in their 20's. Our pastors are very realistic, and one likes to talk in slang on a regular basis (plus he has ADD), and they'll even make a joke sometimes! Everyone there will admit that they've made some big mistakes in the past, that no one is perfect. Everyone knows each other.
Sabbath School Classes (kinda like "Sunday School") for various age groups meet at 10:30am -- even adults go to Sabbath School. Often food is involved at Sabbath School, and coffee is always available before/during/(sometimes after) church. Worship begins at 11:30, we have many different types of musicians involved w/ worship so you never know what you'll hear (but our best band, Garage Voice, is on tour until August). Regular Service starts around 11:45- noon, and usually gets out around 1-2. About twice a month we have potluck.
We also have a lot of free BBQ's/bonfires at Alki on Friday nights during the summer... as well as other outreach events. We like to get out there.
I dont mean for this to sound like an add... I just am very excited about 24/seven (which also is planning to plant a campus in the U-District in the Fall). Before I went there I used to drink -- A LOT. In fact, I was drunk when a friend invited me to "church on Saturday", and only agreed to go because I'd never heard of Christians going to church on a Saturday. I went once, and was hooked. I went, but I didnt change, I continued on my drinking ways. And then one day my life really did change, nothing big stands out, I just realized that there was more to life than drinking. So I became more involved, and stopped drinking.
And thats why I wrote this. In case The Stranger ever decides to "do church" again, please give 24/seven a try...

Tax relief brewing
HONOLULU — Hawaii's small producers of beer, liquor and wine would see relief from some of the nation's highest alcohol taxes under legislation state lawmakers are considering.
Garrett Marrero, the founder of Maui Brewing Co., told a Senate committee Wednesday that he pays more than $2 to the state for every case of beer he sells. That's more than four times what his competitors in California pay and more than 10 times what he would pay in Oregon.
Marrero told lawmakers cutting the excise tax on small producers would allow them to expand operations and add employees.
"The more we produce, the more people we hire," he said.
The two bills being considered would cut the per-gallon taxes for manufacturers defined as "small" breweries, distilleries or wineries.
For breweries, that would mean they produce no more than 60,000 barrels of beer per year.
The tax rate for liquor, for example, would drop from $5.98 to $2.57 a gallon, while the tax on beer would drop from as much as 93 cents to 23 cents, and the tax on still wine would fall from $1.38 to 59 cents.
The difference in taxes would cover the cost of shipping a container of Marrero's beer to the mainland, he said.
The bills, House Bill 2483 and Senate Bill 3041, are aimed at supporting a modest but expanding industry in Hawaii.
Ten craft breweries operate in Hawaii and eight more are preparing to open in the coming year or so, Marrero said.
Nationwide, the Brewers Association counts more than 2,500 craft breweries.
Opponents of the legislation told lawmakers small producers shouldn't be favored over others.
Tim Lyons, a lobbyist representing Anheuser-Busch InBev SA, submitted testimony saying that while a tax cut was warranted, "we all need relief."

The Times honours Vladimir Putin with International Person of the Year Award
Post your comment
Comments on this article are now closed.
Reader comments
The Times just solidified their long running anti-gay stance.
Often in any war, you will find those who are losing, hardening their positions in the final days.
Indeed, "The Times" has lost all shred of credibility now. I see that "The Moscow Times", and other Russian papers, are very proudly reporting this award from the fabled British newspaper. "The Times" has thus shamefully bolstered Putin's campaign against the 10 million or so Russian LGBTs who are being persecuted in Russia at this time.
"The Times" = Toilet Paper
Which other homophobic despots and control freaks has The Times lined up for honours?
Say what you want about Vlad, but he's got some nice titties.
Mugabe next?
The Times… Oh? Would that be the Times of London? The Moscow Times? The New York Times? The Times of India? Could you tell us please and include a link to the original article.
"Noting various accomplishments including winning over the Ukraine…."
Bullying is hardly a praiseworthy virtue. Just because Putin can dictate policy to Ukraine by turning off the gas and oil taps at winter doesn't make him "international person of the year". It makes him "International a$$hole of the year"
On reading the headline I thought The Times had somehow fast-forwarded to 1st April.
Same here, Ian. It's outrageous.
Oh! :o(
But it's The Times! isn't it?
Considering the closing quote: "The prospect of unravelling authority could turn Mr Putin towards better domestic and economic management, rather than power-play abroad. If that happens, the winners of 2014 may well be the Russian people rather than the opportunist who leads them." I'm not sure the award is an endorsement, but rather their person who's had the most impact beyond what's to be expected…
Award-award-award—the backward award !
This is more like it, Putin awarded the golden enema prize of disgrace in St Petersburg in
I subscribe to the times which is supportive of equality and gay rights, as is the economist! The article on Putin was aimed at his global impact in 2013 for good or bad – and the fact that he had run rings around the west in Ukraine and Syria and elsewhere and the article makes clear certainly should not be taken as an endorsement of his policies, in fact as you report the article concludes hopefully that things might implode very soon….
First the pope, and now Putin?
Is their motto "we love homophobic, religious fanatics!"?
Obviousxlt Putin is the Patron Saint of Citizen Murdoch, same Medieval views.
How can anyone be "honoured" by a Murdoch newspaper?
Indeed. He is a utterly vile and disgusting man who should be deported to Australia or wherever he has emerged from under a rock from. The bloke is a disgrace and has injected his poison too far into our media and politics for too long.
Astounding, yet the editor of the London Times endorsed equal marriage!
For someone so opposed to gays, lesbians and bisexuals, Vlad the Impaler doesn't half like taking his shirt off! Those young Frenchmen who opposed gay marriage in France also had the same habit! That makes me think they may be hiding something about themselves that they would rather the rest of the world didn't know!

The city of Rousse (also spelled Ruse) in Bulgaria dates back to Roman times. It has been an important port city on the Danube River for centuries. While relaxing in your discount hotel in Rousse, read Elias Canetti's autobiographical Tongue Set Free, and you will find the statement, "Everything I experienced later in life, had already happened in Ruse." Rousse has many beautiful 19th century buildings and Art Noveau villas. It owes much of its charm to Midhat Pasha, a Turkish administrator who was governor here in the 1860's. He transformed it from a garrison town into a modern European city.
You can easily tour the city center, which has most of the interesting attractions. In the center is the Ploshtad Svoboda (Liberation Square), which is the site of the 1909 Liberation Monument. Here you can also see the Drama Theater, with its landmark figure of Mercury on the roof. The 18th century Church of Sveta Troitsa is an unusual blend of Baroque and Muscovite styles. Its nave is 13 feet below street level because churches could not be taller than mosques. The Regional History Museum is housed in the former palace of Aleksandar Batenberg. The Sexaginta Prista was once a Roman naval base, and traces of ancient fortifications can still be seen.

I had a document in a folder on a flash drive, and when I went to open it, it was nowhere to be found. Initially I thought it was something wrong with the USB stick where the folder was located, but when I tried to move other documents into the folder it was not possible and a In/out-error came up, saying it was impossible to move files into it, whereas in other folders it was completely fine. I can go into the folder, but it is completely empty.
So I started to think that this particular folder might have eaten my document. I also noticed an additional mysterious document I had never seen before outside of the folder, 0 byte and when it is opened, this window appears titled ASCII asking whether I want Unicode (UTF), what kind of type setting and what kind of language. I have tried to look for the document any place I could possibly imagine tmp folders, recently opened documents, but I can't find it.
Is there any way to open a larger history of recently opened documents in Libre Office in any kind of way, or is there any other way I could try to possibly recover the document?
The file system the flash drive is running on is ext3, and I tried
sudo fdisk -l and then
sudo fsck /dev/sdc1 but it said:
fsck from util-linux 2.19.1
fsck: fsck.ntfs: could not be found
fsck: Error 2 when fsck.ntfs ran for /dev/sda1
I also tried
fsck.vfat, could it work? Which alternative could work?
usage: fsck.vfat [-aAflrtvVwy] [-d path -d ...] [-u path -u ...]
-a automatically repair the file system
-A toggle Atari file system format
-d path drop that file
-f salvage unused chains to files
-l list path names
-n no-op, check non-interactively without changing
-p same as -a, for compat with other *fsck
-r interactively repair the file system
-t test for bad clusters
-u path try to undelete that (non-directory) file
-v verbose mode
-V perform a verification pass
-w write changes to disk immediately
-y same as -a, for compat with other *fsck
Do you have any advice?

I would really like to know what was said in the locker room after that loss. I hope SF forgets the game with the Giants and completely dominates Seattle.
Maybe this was a sick plan by JH all along so when we face the Giants in the playoffs they wont know what to expect because we didnt give them any film to study.

West County DIGS: Let's Grow Together
Imagine a group of 6th grade students taking a barren hillside and turning it into a verdant native plant habitat for worms, butterflies and goldfinch. You could say these students have just learned some valuable skills around habitat remediation, plant communities, and landscape design.
Combine that with creating a food garden, learning about soil, fertilizing plants, and engaging in a healing circle designed to speak to some recent classroom issues – and you have West County DIGS School Garden Programs, which are helping students in underserved schools and communities get outdoors to spend more time in places where food, flowers, and ecological empathy are grown.
DIGS (Developing Instructional Gardens in Schools) supports school gardens in West Contra Costa County by providing resources, advocacy, and partnerships to cultivate wellness, academic achievement and sustainable practices.
Their network of over 300 members, comprised of passionate and dedicated teachers, community members, students, and school administrators are working together to train teachers and create school gardens and garden-based curriculum throughout the Richmond-area school district.
They just finished another successful year with now thirty-nine school gardens supported since 2007, including expansions to their Mentorship Program and a launch of a new Green Entrepreneurship pilot.
Check out their latest impact slide show and see how their gardens grow!

I'm using wordpress 2.6 and have a page where I need to call up posts via a manual select query, so i can sort them by a custom field. I more or less have it working, except I can't get tags to display/work. I've included tables: terms, terms_taxonomy, and terms_relationships, but am running into some problems.
first, I'm getting multipe entries, ie each post shows up for as many tags as it has.
second, wp_tags still isn't displaying anything in my loop.
any tips would be appreciated.

We present a comprehensive assessment of the present and expected future pulse of the Indian monsoon climate based on observational and global climate model projections. The analysis supports the view that seasonal Indian monsoon rains in the latter half of the 21th century may not be materially different in abundance to that experienced today although their intensity and duration of wet and dry spells may change appreciably. Such an assessment comes with considerable uncertainty. With regard to temperature, however, we find that the Indian temperatures during the late 21st Century will very likely exceed the highest values experienced in the 130-year instrumental record of Indian data. This assessment comes with higher confidence than for rainfall because of the large spatial scale driving the thermal response of climate to greenhouse gas forcing. We also find that monsoon climate changes, especially temperature, could heighten human and crop mortality posing a socio-economic threat to the Indian subcontinent.

MLK events feature poet Redmond
- story amended Jan. 11, 2006
Published: Monday, January 9, 2006 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, January 9, 2006 at 12:00 a.m.
Poet Glenis Redmond is the featured speaker at this year's Martin Luther King Jr. Unity Breakfast on Monday, Jan. 16.
The breakfast, sponsored by the Human Relations Council of Henderson County and Blue Ridge Community College, is just one of many events in the region beginning Saturday to celebrate the birthday of King.
"Expressions of Freedom" is the theme of the sixth Unity Breakfast to be held in Bo Thomas Auditorium at Blue Ridge Community College.
"This event has become a welcomed and refreshing celebration, attended by a wide range of citizens from our local and neighboring communities," said committee member Kaye Thompson.
The full-course breakfast begins at 8:30 a.m. and the program will begin at 9:30 a.m. Proceeds from the program go to low-income and minority students attending BRCC. Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for children. To purchase tickets, call 697-0455.
"Last year, we were able to award four $750 scholarships to students in need," Thompson said.

Taste Test: Juice Boxesby Toby Amidor in Back to School, Grocery Shopping, Taste Test, August 23, 2012
With all the so-called "healthy" messages on juice boxes, it's tough to decipher which is really the best choice for your little ones. We've tasted and anylized popular juices so you'll be better informed on your next trip to the market.
Juicy Guidelines
Even if you're giving your kids 100% juice, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends the following:
- 1 to 6 years: Limit juice to 4 to 6 fluid ounces per day
- 7 to 18 years: Limit juice to 8 to 12 ounces per day
Remember, fruit juice shouldn't be used as a substitute for whole fruit. There are no nutritional benefits of drinking juice over whole fruit. It's important to stick to the AAP guidelines as too much juice in your kiddos' diet can lead to obesity, poor nutrition and tooth decay.
When shopping for juice, not all boxes are created equal and not all markets are stocked with the same brands. You want to look for those that are made from 100% juice as opposed to mostly sugar + water. Size also matters—for kids 6 and under, opt for the smallest (4.23 fluid-ounce) box whenever possible.

Oldest Serving Member Of The House Loses To Tea Party Opponent
The oldest member of Congress has lost his bid for an 18th term in the House.
Rep. Ralph Hall of Texas, 91, was defeated in a Republican primary runoff by John Ratcliffe, 48, a former U.S. attorney with Tea Party support.
Hall, who has been in the House since 1981, is also the last member to have served in World War II, our Newscast Desk reports. No Democrat is running in the district, which runs from suburban Dallas to the Louisiana and Oklahoma borders.
Hall still runs two miles every day, writes Ben Kamisar of the Dallas News. "The district has only had four representatives since 1903, including legendary House Speaker Sam Rayburn. Hall's tenure covers nearly a third of that span."
Kamisar's article continues: "To address questions about his age, Hall posted an ad before the March primary in which he playfully explained his many wrinkles, saying he'd earned them fighting for conservative values.
"In an interview, he described himself 'as healthy as a radish'."

Hope this isn't a stupid question ;)
When I submit a comment and leave off a required field, I get taken to an empty page that simply says "Error: please fill the required fields (name, email)."
Is this normal behaviour, to not have it styled as per the theme? I guess it saves on bandwidth, but is there a simple way to apply my theme without having to edit wp-comments-post.php (which gives me another thing to do with every upgrade?).
I guess I could do some javascript validation as well, but just thought maybe there was a simple answer. :)

Tedizolid recently completed enrollment of its second ABSSSI Phase 3 trial, designated ESTABLISH 2, which examined the efficacy and safety of a six-day course of tedizolid administered once a day versus a 10-day course of linezolid (Zyvox®) administered twice a day in patients recruited across sites in North and South America, Europe, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. For both tedizolid and linezolid, drug was initially administered as an intravenous (IV) infusion with the option to switch to oral therapy. In September of 2012, Trius presented detailed results of its ESTABLISH 1 trial, which tested the oral dosage form of tedizolid. The ESTABLISH 1 trial achieved all FDA and European Medicines Agency (EMA) primary and secondary efficacy outcomes and demonstrated significantly lower safety and tolerability events compared to linezolid.
At December 31, 2012, Trius estimates that it had cash, cash equivalents and investments totaling $66.0 million. This amount is preliminary, unaudited, subject to change upon completion of our year-end audit, and may differ from what will be reflected in our audited financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2012. Additional information and disclosures would be required for a more complete understanding of our financial position and results of operations as of December 31, 2012.
