A. This action plan is designed to provide basic emergency response guidelines for all university personnel in the event that an emergency occurs on or near campus until Public Safety or appropriate response personnel arrive. This action plan does not detail the response procedures to be followed by trained personnel after the initial response to an emergency nor the removal of the university personnel and property from immediate danger. Designated university emergency response personnel are trained to follow up with secondary emergency disaster response procedures once the first response has stabilized the emergency.
B. The scope of the emergency response action plan applies to all university faculty, staff, students, visitors, and buildings and grounds owned and operated, or supervised by Bucknell University.
C. The chief of public safety is authorized by the vice president for finance and administration, who is authorized by the president of the university, to oversee the emergency response action plan. Any of these university authorities or their designees may serve as the Action Plan Emergency Coordinator in declaring the scope of the emergency and directing its response. The vice president for finance and administration will serve as the Action Plan Emergency Coordinator unless otherwise assigned.
D. The types of emergencies are as follows:
MINOR EMERGENCY: Any incident, potential or actual, which will not seriously affect the overall operation of the university. Report immediately to Public Safety at 570-577-3333 or 570-577-1111. Some examples of a minor emergency are:brownout, waterleak, false fire alarm, or maintenance problem, etc.
MAJOR EMERGENCY: Any incident, potential or actual, which affects an entire building or buildings, or which disrupts the overall operation of the university. Outside emergency services will probably be required, as well as a major response from campus support services. Major policy considerations may be required from the university administration during these conditions. Report to Public Safety at 570-577-1111. Some examples of a major emergency are: power outage, fire, major vehicle accident, snow emergency, bomb threat, hazmat spill, etc.
DISASTER: Any event or occurrence that seriously impairs or halts the operations of the university. In some cases, mass personnel casualties and severe property damage may occur. A coordinated effort of all campus-wide resources is required to effectively control the situation. Outside emergency services will be essential. In all cases of disaster, an Emergency Command Center will be established, and the appropriate support and operational plans will be executed. Some examples of a disaster are: hurricane/tornado, flood, serious fire, total campus blackout, nuclear disaster, etc.
In addition, any incident which has a potential for adverse publicity concerning the university should be promptly reported to the Department of Public Safety (24 hours per day, 7 days per week) and the Office of Public Relations. Some examples of such incidents are: sexual assaults, crimes on campus, false rumors, etc.

Lawyers for the company that took over Massey settled for $35 million.
Stanley represented the widows of two miners who died in the Massey Aracoma mine in January 2006.
Forty-five coal miners have died in Massey mines since 2000, according to the United Mine Workers of America.
This is a daring inquiry into the dark heart of power at Massey and in West Virginia.
And in the end Alpha Energy, the company that bought a disgraced Massey, settled.
And after awhile Miss Massey can find out if her father is able to see you.
"I will take you and your followers on shore now, Captain Massey," he said.
"Any other sane person makes the same guess," Mr. Massey replied.
And, bidding Massey a kindly farewell, he took his departure.
Steadily Mr. Massey and his co-workers sought to perfect the property.

"We would like NCTA students who want to continue their studies to seriously consider the Institute of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources, and to experience first-hand the welcoming environment on campus," said University President James B. Milliken. "I believe NCTA holds the keys for doing great things for Nebraska's rural economy."
President Milliken initiated the concept to encourage NCTA students to attend the University in order to gain a broader agricultural and economic knowledge that they might carry back to their homes, often in the rural areas of Nebraska.
"Our college in Curtis has 272 students and tends to attract young people who want a small college experience," said Weldon Sleight, Dean of NCTA. "I believe they gain confidence here, and after two years have the skills necessary for a larger campus."
The NCTA Day at CASNR event will begin with noon lunch in the Arboretum area on East Campus where NCTA students can visit with UNL faculty, staff and students, members of the University Board of Regents and Milliken. The afternoon features tours and information sessions in the Animal Science Building to familiarize students with various CASNR offerings, specifically Veterinary Science, Biological Systems Engineering, Agronomy/Horticulture, and Agricultural Economics/Agribusiness. Individual advising sessions also are available for personalized student advice.
"We are excited to have the NCTA students on East Campus to visit with CASNR students and faculty," said Steve Waller, Dean of CASNR. "Hosting NCTA Day is a wonderful chance for us to showcase opportunities for students who are completing their degrees at NCTA, and considering continuing their education in agricultural sciences or natural resources."
The day's activities will culminate with ice cream from the East Campus Dairy Store, dinner, and attendance at the UNL Rodeo at the Lancaster County Event Center.

Cinefemmes and the UNLV department of film hosts Lucas Vidal and Steve Dzialowski - the composers and music producers of "Fast & Furious 6." They will discuss their careers as creators of music for film and provide advice as to how break into the industry. Audience members are encouraged to prepare questions for the guests.
Lucas Vidal is a Spanish composer who became the youngest Berklee College of Music student ever to compose and record the score to a feature film with a full orchestra and is best known for scores such as "Fast & Furious 6."
Lucas Vidal was born and grew up in Madrid. His father is also a musician and his grandfather was one of the founders of the record company Hispavox. He began studying piano and flute at age four. When he was 16 years old he went to Berklee College of Music for a summer term to play saxophone and was introduced to the film scoring department and Vidal decided that he wanted to pursue a career as a film composer. He met his business partner, Steve Dzialowski, and decided to create a company, Music and Motion Productions, while attending Berklee. Vidal made history when he became the youngest Berklee College of Music student ever to compose and record the score to a feature film with a full orchestra. Hundreds of recording sessions and dozens of movie scores, commercial music jobs, video game soundtracks and ballet scores later, Vidal is getting his biggest-ever assignments. After studying with a scholarship to the Berklee College of Music, he received his bachelor's degree with Summa Cum Laude and moved to New York City, where he studied at Juilliard and worked on some TV movies for NBC Universal and european projects. Then he decided to move to Los Angeles
Vidal's career was kicked into high gear in 2011 when he was nominated for Breakout Composer of the Year by the International Film Music Critics Association for the film "Sleep Tight" ("Mientras Duermes"). In 2012 he composed the musical score for "Fast & Furious 6." Other recent projects include "The Raven" with John Cusack and "The Cold Light of Day" starring Bruce Willis and Sigourney Weaver, resulting in a nomination for "Discovery of the Year" at the World Soundtrack Awards.

2013: The year of . . .
. . . oh, never mind. No, it's not the year of the Ubuntu phone, so let's not even start that nonsense.
Instead, let's talk about a few things coming up on the proverbial FOSS radar, like:
— SCALE 11X: The Southern California Linux Expo turns Linux/FOSS up to 11 this year at the first-of-the-year North American expo in February. If you want to take advantage of the half-price early-bird discount (worm optional), you must register by Tuesday, Jan. 8. Then admission prices kick back up to the regular rates. The speakers are set and much of the SCALE team, of which I am one, has their collective shoulders to the wheel. It's going to be a good show this year — watch this space.
— Almost Fedora 18: A few days ago, I made a joke — OK, so it wasn't an unforgettable knee-slapper — that some folks took as an insult to the Fedora Project. What I said was this: They (meaning the Fedora Project) should just skip Fedora 18 and just release Fedora 19 in May on schedule. Ha ha. Just kidding, guys and gals. You know I have nothing but love and admiration for the Fedora Project, which does things right (like, for example, not releasing Fedora 18 when it's not quite ready — better to release when it's done rather than on a timetable). Yet, this fell into an e-mailbox today and it shows that Fedora 18 is closer to release than I had anticipated.
— Warming Up to Your Distro: A woman in Michigan named Shandell Gager is knitting scarves by hand in the colors of your favorite distro. The cost for each of these scarves is $30, with $5 going to the distro as a donation. I've already ordered my CrunchBang scarf, and it sounds like a good way to fight off the cold and show your support for Linux/FOSS.
That's all for now. More to follow (especially on SCALE 11X) soon.

What would then make your statement just as false? Looks like we have a recurring pattern here:
Every statement in the form A ("every statement in the form 'A is just B") is just B ("is false") is false.
Extremely clever, pt1!
But wrong.
I will now go away and see if I can work out how to explain why it is wrong.
pt1, while I'm doing that, perhaps you could think of a legitimate disproof by counter-example - i.e. a statement in the form 'A is just B' which is true.
Meanwhile, everyone else should feel free to go

Brevard, N.C. – Erica Zaveta of the women's cycling team and Dominique Pickett of the men's basketball team have been named the Sports Spot Student-Athletes of the Month for January. The award is presented by Sports Spot, in conjunction with the Brevard College Athletic Department.
Zaveta was voted the Female Student-Athlete of the Month by the BC Head Coaching staff over Micheala Watkins and Shelby Wolfe of the women's basketball team.
Zaveta wins her second career Athlete of the Month award after leading the Brevard College Cycling team to a Division II Cyclocross National Championship. Zaveta's first place finish represented the highest individual finish in the tie breaker with Mars Hill College, giving BC sole possession of the National Title.
Pickett was voted the Men's Student-Athlete of the Month by the BC Head Coaching staff over teammate Miles Leather and Cypress Gorry of the men's cycling team.
Pickett is a first time winner after leading the Tornados offense with 16.8 points per game in January. The redshirt junior scored a career-high 31 points against Newberry on January 23rd, shooting10-of-16 from the field and 6-for-10 from beyond the arc. Pickett also led the Tornados in scoring (23 points), assists (5) and rebounds (8) on January 30th against Carson-Newman.
These two athletes will be presented with action shots recognizing their award, which will be displayed in the lobby of Boshamer Gymnasium for the entire school year. A total of eight female and male Sports Spot Athletes of the Month will be selected in the 2012-2013 academic year. The award is selected from qualified candidates each month by the athletic department staff.

March 2009
Wednesday, Mar. 25, 2009 -- Dogs in the workplace
I heard a rumor (and grumbling) that a director at statewide has a kennel with a dog in her office all the time. I'm not allowed to bring my dogs to work due to a variety of reasons (all of which are good reasons, for instance: there are people who are afraid of dogs, allergic to dogs, and work is no place for Fido.) If this rumor is true, and I suspect it is, why are there two different standards on the Fairbanks campus?
Statewide employees are expected to comply with all building rules that are in place at UAF. Statewide Public Affairs director Kate Ripley checked with numerous co-workers in the Butrovich Building and could not confirm the dog rumor. Numerous co-workers have not seen a dog being brought into or out of the building.
Wednesday, Mar. 25, 2009 -- Cost of Living Allowance increase
Will staff receive the 4.5 percent COLA (Cost of Living Allowance) increase in July 2009?
An annual adjustment of 4.5 percent for staff is included in the university's FY10 operating budget which is now before the Legislature. The administration is hopeful the increase will be funded.
Wednesday, Mar. 18, 2009 -- Hockey team travel costs
Who pays for the hockey team to travel to Detroit? Is it part of the Athletics and Recreation budget at the beginning of the fiscal year? How many people travel with the team?
From Forrest Karr, Director of Athletics and Campus Recreation
The league (CCHA) covers all travel costs for up to 35 people. Our group includes players, coaches, support staff and media.
Thursday, Mar. 12, 2009 -- Follow-up: Shuttle to playoff hockey games
Forrest Karr's response to the "why not" part of the hockey shuttle question yesterday was unclear. Is the hockey shuttle normally paid for out of ticket revenue? Does it cost so much to run the shuttle that money from somewhere else cannot be used for this one weekend?
From Forrest Karr, Director of Athletics and Campus Recreation
The Athletics and Campus Recreation department paid $200 per night for the Holland America bus that was used for home games this year. This expense was built into the FY09 operating budget. Traditionally, peer institutions that have hosted during spring break have seen very little student attendance. We remain hopeful that student interest will be high this weekend, but the additional transportation expense was not budgeted at the beginning of the fiscal year. Hopefully, this helps clarify.
Thursday, Mar. 12, 2009 -- Four-day work weeks
In this tough economic time companies and institutions are taking a number of drastic changes to get by, but many of the actions are negative. The university is also facing a financial pinch due to the hit to the nation's economy, which will likely have a negative impact on employees. One change that has proved to be positive is for states, companies and institutions to implement a four-day work week for its employees. Overall there have been many more benefits than detractors, such as lowering costs, reducing turnover, and improving overall employee happiness. There were even unexpected benefits such as the action acting as a economic stimulus for the areas that they were implemented in.
Has the university considered changing the majority shifts at the university to a four-day work week to reduce costs and see such benefits? Has the university considered offering classes on a four-day schedule as well (similar to how many of UAA's classes are on a four-day schedule, and only run between Monday and Thursday)?
An article discussing the four-day work week implemented by some states is here:
No. The university is not currently looking at a four-day work week as a cost-cutting option. For the most part, alternate work schedules for individuals can and are occasionally approved; however, they are the exception and require justification. As a residential campus and public institution, UAF is expected to be open during regular business hours for the public and is obligated to serve our residential students throughout the week. The effects of a four-day work week would have to be considered from that perspective and may not have the desired cost-cutting results.
In addition, UAF also faces issues with limited classroom space. Past studies of space on campus indicate that UAF utilizes classrooms more effectively than other campuses on Fridays; however, additional scheduling is possible on Fridays and possibly into the weekend in an effort to maximize our existing space. But a contracted four-day schedule would be difficult if not impossible to maintain without adding additional classrooms on campus.
The university is committed to doing what we can to mitigate any negative effects of the economy on programs that serve the public and the staff and faculty that support them.
Wednesday, Mar. 11, 2009 -- Shuttle to playoff hockey games
Will there be a shuttle to the playoff hockey games and if so what will the schedule be and if not why not?
From Forrest Karr, Director of Athletics and Campus Recreation
Unfortunately, there will not be a student bus for the playoff games this weekend.
We (the university and the Carlson Center) are basically a shell hosting on behalf of the Central Collegiate Hockey Association (CCHA). We will handle accounting and pass through both revenues and expenses. For example, ticket sales revenue belongs to the league, which is why non-credentialed students will be required to pay this weekend.
There is some long-term good from this system. The league uses playoff revenue to cover the costs of eight visiting schools over the course of two weekends. The lion's share of this money will be used to cover the cost of our opponent, Ohio State, traveling to Alaska. Any excess revenue sent to league is put in a capital reserve fund that ultimately kicks interest back to member institutions.
If there is a small group of students that need a ride, I would be happy to help transport.
Wednesday, Mar. 11, 2009 -- U-Pass program's test swipe units
What information is being collected by the borough when I swipe my PolarExpress card to get onto the city buses? How is that information being used? I was OK with swiping my card until I saw my full name and UA ID# flash up on the screen of the reader.
The swipe unit in the borough bus is a test unit. We currently only have one we are testing. The unit checks to see if a card is valid, and records the card number and time of the transaction. They will provide rider counts for this program.
The unit contains a list of valid PolarExpress card numbers. It does not contain names. When someone swipes his or her card, the number and whether or not the card is valid appears on the screen. No name shows on the screen. The PolarExpress office downloads the transaction information. No card numbers or names are provided to the borough.
The new U-Pass program has been enthusiastically received by staff, faculty and students. Thank you for taking advantage of the program and reducing energy consumption.
Wednesday, Mar. 11, 2009 -- Green route shuttle
Why wasn't a notice sent out via e-mail to all students, faculty and staff regarding the Green Shuttle not running during spring break? Green ran the entire time that students and faculty were out during the winter holiday break.
Information regarding the limited service during spring break is posted at all shuttle stations, the shuttle bus website and the UAF shuttle tracker site. Every year, the green shuttle is removed from service during the winter and spring academic breaks and summer sessions. This results in a cost savings for the university.
When classes are not in session the gold and blue routes move around campus more efficiently and the campus shuttle is available to help with transportation needs during peak periods. During this time, faculty and staff should experience limited breaks in service.
Wednesday, Mar. 11, 2009 -- Parking lot snow removal
Why haven't the parking lots been plowed after the large amount of snow that was received this past week? Without four-wheel/all-wheel drive, I would have gotten stuck pulling into a parking space this morning.
Last week, the Facilities Services' grounds crew anticipated 1 - 2 inches of new snow, as forecasted. We actually received approximately 8 - 10 inches followed by wind and drifting snow. The first priority on campus includes handicap ramps and handicap parking locations, and pedestrian walkways and stairs. Due to drifting snow, all areas completed prior to the weekend had to be cleaned again, and in some cases several times. With limited heavy equipment operators. all parking lots were not completed. We anticipate snow will be removed from all areas by the end of the week.
There are many factors that impact snow removal on the UAF campus, and priorities consistently change with temperatures, amount of snow, and changes in weather conditions. The grounds crew is responsible for snow removal from 79 parking lots (includes off campus sites), 8.28 miles of road, 8.81 miles of walkway, and 164 sets of exterior stairs. A typical parking lot requires six hours for complete snow removal, and is rarely completely free of vehicles. To minimize the impact on residents, lots near residential areas are not completed at night and many lots require a two-day notice to ensure all vehicles are removed.
Please contact 474-7000 with snow removal questions or concerns; it is helpful for us to know the specific parking lot you are asking about.
Monday, Mar. 9 , 2009 -- Matching donations for charities
I am a staff member at the UAF campus and have recently made a donation to a charity. The charity asked if my employer would match my donation (and hence double or triple it), and gave a little web tool to check if they did. The university didn't show up on the check. Does the university offer donation matching for charities, or will it consider doing so in the future?
Also this charity mentioned that there was a federal program where people of some state and federal agencies could make donations from their paychecks directly through a service called Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) http://www.opm.gov/cfc/. Is that an option for university employees?
The university does not offer a matching donation for charities. As a public institution, we use general funds to conduct teaching, research and public service activities that are specific to the university's mission.
While UAF doesn't participate specifically in the Combined Federal Campaign, the university has selected United Way as an umbrella organization through which employees can use payroll deduction to make contributions to any UW organization.
This makes it easy for employees to contribute to multiple agencies, or just one. Employees also may contribute to any 501(c)3 entity, even if they aren't a United Way agency.
Monday, Mar. 9 , 2009 -- UAOnline and student e-mail addresses
I have faculty access to UAOnline and I am required to email a class for various circumstances. When you display a class the some of the students have the email icon by their information and some do not. When you click email class it only pulls the students with the icon. Why does it not pull everyone? I have spent much time looking up their e-mails which are in UAOnline and adding them to the e-mail I'm sending. It would seem that if their email is in UAOnline it would grab it.
UAOnline pulls the e-mail that is listed as preferred in Banner. If none of the e-mail addresses have the preferred indicator set in Banner, no email icon appears. OIT is aware of the issue, it's on their list of needs for the campus and plan to schedule time to write the script which should resolve the issue. Please feel free to send general questions regarding services such as UAOnline, Blackboard and Google Apps directly to email@example.com.
Friday, Mar. 6, 2009 -- Bike trail
Is the bike trail that runs along Farmer's Loop part of campus? More so, who is responsible for plowing it? My fiance and I walk the trail up to campus every day and it is so great having a plowed trail. I don't know if I should thank UAF or DOT or someone else for this service.
UAF crews plow the trail from campus to the intersection of Ballaine Rd. and Farmers Loop. The Alaska Department of Transportation plows the rest of the trail on Farmers Loop. More information on UAF trails is available online.
Tuesday, Mar. 3, 2009 -- Hockey play-off games
Where can I find information about the hockey play-off games? I read that the dates are March 13-15. Does this mean there is a Sunday game? Where can I find play-off ticket prices?
Information is now posted on the Alaska Nanooks website about the best-of-three CCHA Quarterfinal playoff series the Alaska Nanooks will host March 13-15, 2009 at the Carlson Center.
Please call the UAF Ticket Office, at 907-474-5977 for more information.

Goo Goo Dolls part ways with longtime drummer
Listen to Goo Goo Dolls on iHeartRadio
It's 19 years and done for the Goo Goo Dolls and drummer Mike Malinin. The band has announced its parting of the ways with their longtime sticksman who replaced original Goo Goo drummer George Tutuska almost two decades ago.
Malinin had been sitting out of the current leg of the band's tour due to a family matter. Upon his ouster, Malinin took to Twitter on New Year's Eve to invite ousted Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora to start a band with him.
Hey @TheRealSambora, do you want to start a band with me?
— Mike Malinin (@mikemalinin) December 31, 2013
He later issued a brief statement thanking fans for their support over the past 19 years, adding that while it was not his decision to leave the band, he wasn't holding any grudges either.
Goo Goo Dolls founders Johnny Rzeznik and Robby Takac also issued a statement wishing Malinin "the best in his new journey" and assuring fans and friends that it was not an easy decision. They added that they were looking forward to continuing their 28-year-journey ad the Goo Goo Dolls.

The 16 February, 2007, edition of the magazine Science, well-known for its pro-evolution stance, carried a report headed "Faith and Science" that discussed the impact of Adnan Oktar's Atlas of Creation, written under the pen-name Harun Yahya. The report contained the following statements:
It"s the most gorgeous-looking attack on evolution seen in a long time: That"s the consensus among European scientists who in recent weeks have received . . . free copies of the Atlas of Creation. The 768-page, lavishly produced tome was written by Harun Yahya, a Turkish author who denounces Darwinism as the source of many evils, including 9/11. Its publisher has sent hundreds if not thousands of copies of the book to researchers in at least four countries in Western Europe.
. . . the book has troubled and outraged others--especially in France, where a French translation landed in the mailboxes of hundreds of high school directors and librarians. . . .
Harun Yahya is the pen name of Adnan Oktar, the head of the Foundation for Scientific Research (BAV) in Ankara, which has promoted Islamic creationism since 1997 (Science, 18 May 2001, p. 1286). . . .
Yahya accepts that the world is billions of years old but rejects the concept of evolutionary change. More than 500 pages in the Atlas of Creation (the first in a series of seven volumes) are filled with pictures of fossils, accompanied by modern-day organisms that look strikingly similar--proof, Yahya says, that evolution theory is false. . . .
Within Turkey, BAV has been "quite successful" in promoting creationism, says biologist Aykut Kence of the Middle East Technical University in Ankara. One recent survey found that more than 50% of biology teachers in secondary education "are not sure about the validity of evolution," says Kence. Yahya"s books have also been translated into Arabic, Urdu, and other languages of the Islamic world.
0000-00-00 00:00:00
. . . In an e-mailed response to questions, a spokesperson for Yahya . . . added that France "can gather up and burn all the books, just like in the days of the Nazis, … yet the collapse of Darwinism cannot be prevented by prohibitions and bans."

AccordingtoMs. Joanne Barr-Stately, the current acting director Mr. Head handed a letter over to her in the afternoon stating that he was resigning for personal reasons effective at 4:30 that afternoon. Numerous calls were made around the state by concerned employees and friends. They have failed to provide any further information about Head. Also, Stately went on to state that there was an enormous state of confusion at the office and it appeared that it will take some time to straighten out the mess that exists within this office. No further information is available about Head's locatioa However several theories have come forth. The PRESS will confirm these rumors and will advise the community of any of its findings.

Thomas Green, 23, a student; Jerry Louis Colley, 30, an employee ofthe Bemidji Parks and Recreation Department; William Burnham Tibbetts III, 34, and employee with the Bureau of Indian affairs; Chad M. Lange, 26, manager of a local retail store; and Carl Eugene Parker, 36, a construction worker in Cass Lake, were all charged. The suspects are also accused of conspiring to import cocaine from another state and to process and distribute it in the Bemidji area, according to a press release from the BCA. BCA officials described the drug operation as well organized and fairly sophisticated. The five allegedly used pagers and cellular phones to maintain contact with and receive orders from their customers. Agent Terry smith said the exact amount of cocaine confiscated over the six month period isn't known, however, he did say it was "quite a quantity. These guys were fairly significant distributors of cocaine for this area." Search warrants for the drugs and other evidence were executed Tuesday at six separate locations intheBemidji area by agents of the BCA and the Paul Bunyan Task Force, Bemidji Police officers and Beltrami County deputies, the release said. The search warrants weren't issued so the teams could find a large amount of cocaine but were issued mainly to gather tangible evidence to solidify the case against the men. "We were not searching for drugs as much as we were searching for information, like records, to complete the case," Smith said. Five motor vehicles were also confiscated because ofthe Minnesota Statute which makes cars used for the delivery of drugs subject to forfeiture. A number ofthe group's customers have been identified by authorities and charges against additional persons are pending further investigation.

She is the keynote speakerfora "Women in Leadership" conference sponsored by the College of St. Catherine. Minneapolis is the last stop in a twelve city speaking tour for her before she returns to Oklahoma. In an interview with Mankiller she talked about her new book and her life experiences. She stated that her book is half about herself and half about history. She had been approached by several publishers and asked to write a book about her experiences. She thought that this was a little premature as she was only 48 and had some health problems. This ranged from a major car accident to having a form of muscular dystrophy and a kidney transplant. She felt people were intrigued about these conditions versus my life history and position. She stated that she would write a book but that it would alternate between her life and the history through the oral traditions Mankiller stated that the book had been receivcdfairlywellbut emphasized that there is still a problem that the non- Native press understand the important history that weare doing today. Shefelt that we all see ourselves within the context of our history and our tribes and we don't think of ourselves outside of this context. It is very hard for non- tribal to see that. This is the issue that the book addresses. Mankiller talked about her life and hertrialsinlife. ShewasborninStillwell, Oklahoma and her family was caught up with the relocation process in the late 50's. Her entire family was relocated to Oakland, California. In Oakland, her family faced a total change of lifestyles. She stated that the promises that the BIA gave did not truly meetthe reality ofthetimes. Thesaving grace was that there was a active Indian Center in Oakland and that the Indians that were there banded together to help one another. Mankiller stated that there are now three generations living in the bay area and there is a problem in there being able to reconnect back into their roots and culture. Mankiller stated that the Relocation program was just another injustice that was foisted on the Native American community. She felt that it was a continuation of such failed projects that the BIA and the federal government continued to place on the Native American community. Mankiller stated that she was active in the occupation of Alcatraz in the early sixties and seventies and that her father insisted that their family become involved in the affairs of their people. She stated that after her father died in 1971 shecontinuedtoworkatbecoming Mankiller/See Page 5 St Paul (AP) A dispute over placement of a sign has touched offa confrontationbetween the Prairie Island Mdewakanton Dakota and officials of Dakota County and nearby Ravenna Township. In a battle peppered with allegations of racism and preferential treatment, thefederal government will decide how the 10-acre plot near the tribe's Treasure Island Casino will be used. The tribe wants to put a convenience store and a sign advertising the casino on the land at the prime intersection of Hwy. 316 and County Rd. 68, about 8 miles from the reservation atRed Wing. The tribe bought the land and has asked the U.S. Department of Interior through its Bureau of Indian Affairs to " place the land in trust That would have the effect of giving reservation status to the land, which would make it immune from many state and local regulations. Township and Dakota County officials say the tribe is trying to avoid the procedures that any other group would have to follow to change the zoning of the land from its current agricultural- residential designation to commercial status. The tribe says it wants to bypass the procedure for fear it wouldn't get a fair hearing. "They're having a little war down there,'' said Michael Constant, an offi cial of the Minnesota Department of Transportation. The tribe bought the land in the fall of 1992, using a corporation it formed that summer. One of the tribe's attorneys, Kurt Bluedog, said the corporation, Northern Minnesota Investments, Inc., was created so the tribe could seek and buy land without theowners "bumping the price up,'' because they thought the tribe had deep financial pockets. It paid $26,500 for the parcel. '■ In the spring, the tribe posted a small sign on the plot indicating that County Rd. 68 is a shortcut to the casino. That route is about 5 miles shorter but saves little or no time because the road is narrow and winding. Township officials complained to the state Department ofTransportation that the 3- by 4-foot sign was illegal because the land was not zoned for the commercial use and the sign was too close to the roads. Constant said he called the tribe and the sign was removed Laurie Beyer-Kropuenske. the tribal attorney, said that shortly after the tribe removed its sign, a local developer posted a sign at the same comer advertising the nearby Rainbow Ridge housing development The tribal council became "pretty adamant," she said. "Why isn't someone doing something about this? They [township officials] did not object to the white man's sign, but they asked us to remove ours. That's when the trailer went in." Last summer, the tribe parked a white semitrailer atthe intersectionand placed a banner on it advertising the casino. The banner was stolen, as were its replacements. Constant offered a different chronology, saying the Rainbow Ridge sign was placed after the trailer was brought in. But he did confirm that no township official had complained to him about the Rainbow Ridge sign. He said that when he called the tribe and asked that they remove the sign on the trailer, the tribe refused and informed him that it was asking the BIA to put the land in trust That is when his department "decided to leave everything the way it is" until the BIA decides the trust question. "If the BIA says it's part ofthe reservation, I don't know that we'll have a leg to stand on," he said, because tribes and reservation land are sovereign entities not subject to local land-use regulations. Local officials say that exemption is what upsets them. Joseph Harris, the County Board member who represents the area, said no one else could erect a sign or build a store there without per- Casino/SeePage3 Sabes voted out of Arizona casino deal AP - Minneapolis The final vote was 200-7, and Bob Sabes lost. The Yavapai-Apache tribe in Camp Verde, Ariz., put the Minneapolis businessman and topless nightclub owner on the ballot Saturday and decided that they did not want their tribal government to do business with Sabes. Sabes was chief executive officer of Gaming Corp. of America (GCA) until he resigned last spring. He's also owner of Solid Gold, the topless club in downtown Minneapolis, and other restaurants in the Twin Cities. He resigned from GCA because his other business interests made it difficult for the company to obtain regulatory approval to operate casinos. Those business relationships also thwarted his efforts to win the management contract from the Yavapai-Apache, according to Ted Smith, tribal chairman. Sabes has acknowledged in testimony before the Wisconsin Winnebago Indian Tribal Commission that he has had business dealings with James Williams, an associate of M.J., Peter Club Man agement Co., which operates Solid Gold on Sabes'behalf. Williams was convicted in 1987 for tax fraud in connection with his management of Indian bingo halls in Florida. Also, federal prosecutors and the FBI have alleged that Williams is connected to New York crime families. Sabes has said that his relationships with Williams and M.J. Peter Club Management are at "arms length," and he has denied any association with organized crime. He declined Monday to comment on the tribal vote in Arizona. Nuclear waste storage opposed By Charles Laxzacwski Staff Writer [Reprinted with permission of the St. Paul Pioneer Press] The Prairie Island Mdewakanton Sioux community and its allies took their shot Monday at Northern States Power Co. 's plan to place radioactive waste in metal casks outside the utility's nuclear power plant there. Tribal council members and community residents told the Senate Jobs, Energy and Community Development Committee that they have borne the risk for too long from the power plant a half mile away, so that people in the Twin Cities could have cheap electricity. "Not one of you here can prove to me that in 40 years they won't leak," tribal council member Edith Pacini told the committee. "I would say to you there are open lands in Woodbury, there are open lands in Eagan. there are open lands in Burnsville. Why don't you put it there and see what happens? Whether it is or is not safe. we don't want more there." The issue is one of the most important and contentious the Legislature will have to decide next spring. The federal government has failed for more than 20 years to keep its promise to take used fuel from nuclear reactors and dispose of it permanently. The used fuel remains highly radioactive for 10,000 years, so finding a site that could keep it isolated that long, much less a place where a community would Nudear/SeePage3

Brevard, N.C. - The Brevard College women's soccer team recently took time out of their spring schedule to give back to the community, working with the U10 Team United from the Transylvania Youth Soccer Association at the beginning of the April.
"It was a real pleasure to see my team, comprised of 8-9 year old co-ed soccer players, developing skills and having fun beside the talented Tornados," said Coach Drew Brennan. "Their passion for the education of the young people is evident, and the enthusiasm and positive energy of the BC student-athletes was wonderful."
Coach Shigeyoshi Shinohara, Chantel Azevedo, Elena Crowe, Lindsay Pritchard, Bree McMahon, Teresa Musick and Brittany Webster worked with the team coached by Brennan, putting them through passing, shooting and dribbling drills.
"I will encourage each of our team members to come this summer for your camp," commented Brennan. "Clearly, if soccer is going to continue to strengthen in Transylvania County it is through joint efforts like this! I appreciate the generosity of BC Women's Soccer and thank them for the community service they provided."

Troutdale Police identify shooter as 15-year-old Jared Michael Padgett
Hilton: The United States has had 44 presidents prior to Trump. Some of them called to our better angels, some not so much. Some were brilliant, some were barely passable. But, none were as unqualified or as temperamentally unfit as Trump. A minority of Americans, thanks to an archaic election system, elevated a man who is not qualified to even be the mayor of a small town. Let alone be president. Here is what the hayseeds believe Donald Trump is going to do.: 1. Destroy the federal government as we know it. 2. Get rid of a bunch of minorities. 3. Get rid of Obamacare and watch the poor die. My previously unaffordable insurance is down to just $85/month. My car insurance, from Insurance Panda, is now just $25/month. Under Trump, healthcare will be $500/month or more. 4. Make the lives of poor kids, the sick, and the elderly worse than they already are. 5. Drop a bunch of bombs on some colored people in some country somewhere. 6. Cut taxes on the rich. It's not a partisan issue, as he's not really a Republican, it's the person. He's a narcissist who can't abide criticism and has no empathy for others, a petty and vindictive man. A person with no intellectual curiosity, who doesn't read and doesn't want to learn how to do his job. He also lacks a moral compass, he's neither decent nor honorable. He'll be a "blot" in US history.

Jaspers Shutout at #2 Johns Hopkins
RIVERDALE, N.Y. - The Jaspers men's lacrosse team dropped to 1-3 on the season after an 11-0 loss at #2 Johns Hopkins on Tuesday afternoon at Homewood Field. The game was scoreless through the first ten minutes before the Blue Jays scored five times in the final 4:25 of the first quarter to take a 5-0 advantage.
Manhattan would struggle to find an offensive flow as the Jaspers took a total of 14 shots and won just four of 15 face offs. Freshman Brian Lenskold was 4-13 in his battles.
Hopkins' John Greeley scored three times in the contest while adding another assist to lead all players with four total points. The Blue Jays (5-0) scored twice in the second period and led 7-0 at halftime before tacking on four more in the third. Neither team scored in the fourth quarter of the contest.
The Jaspers were outshot 40-14 in the game while turning the ball over 21 times and forcing 13 of their own. Manhattan was 15-21 in clear attempts while Johns Hopkins as 18-23 and picked up 25 ground balls compared to 21 by the Jaspers. They were also 1-5 on the extra man opportunity with Manhattan going 0-3 on the EMO.
Sophomore goalkeeper Rich Akapnitis made 15 saves in the loss while Pierce Basset earned the win making seven saves in his three quarters of action.
Manhattan will continues their three game road stretch when they travel to Stamford, Conn. to take on Sacred Heart at 1:00 p.m. before traveling to Chamblee, Ga., and Mercer on Tue., March 13. This afternoon's game at Johns Hopkins was tape delayed and will be aired on ESPNU on Wed., March 7 at 7 p.m.

By Rikki King Herald Writer
MILL CREEK — The Snohomish County Sheriff's Office plans to build a new $5 million south precinct in the Cathcart area.
The proposal says the current south precinct in Mill Creek is too old and too small.
"In terms of location, it's not ideal," sheriff's spokeswoman Shari Ireton said. "It's not centrally located for south county."
The county already has approved $3 million in bond money for the project, according to a county news release.
Sheriff John Lovick is asking the state for the other $2 million.
The sheriff's office operates headquarters at the County Courthouse in downtown Everett and three precincts in north, east and south county.
The south precinct at 15928 Mill Creek Blvd. is the busiest one, according to the proposal. It houses more than 70 deputies, detectives, support staff and volunteers.
Deputies in south county respond to 911 calls from an estimated 188,000 people in unincorporated areas, Ireton said.
They received 119,797 calls for help in 2012, she said. The north and east precincts combined had fewer calls.
The current south precinct is within Mill Creek city limits, in a building the sheriff's office has leased since the 1980s. The Mill Creek Police Department is a few blocks away.
The proposed site for the new building is on county-owned property along Cathcart Way, near Highway 9. The property already houses the sheriff's office gun range, impound lot and other county services.
Lovick went to Olympia to ask for the money earlier this year, Ireton said.
"There is no bill or appropriation for funds, that we know of, at this time," she said.
The goal would be to wrap up construction by 2016, she said. Planners are looking at a one-story building starting at 10,000 square feet.

The MV Library holds an important collection of 18th and 19th century scientific literature. Many of these books began as working tools for early museum curators studying the local fauna. Now, they form part of our rare book collection and are prized for their beauty and rarity.
The library's collection has an interesting history, forming from the amalgamation of two specialist collections from the National Museum of Victoria and Science Museum. Books have been purchased since the earliest days of the National Museum of Victoria, when the first director, Frederick McCoy, acquired important titles such as the entomological works of Maria Sybilla Merian.
While the library collection at MV is relatively small, it is also surprisingly unique. Library staff are currently working to identify titles unique to Australian libraries, a project which has exposed some real gems in the collection, such as John Abbot's The Natural History of the Rarer Lepidopterous Insects of Georgia (1797).
Tab V, 'American Brimstone Butterfly' via the Biodiversity Heritage Library
Abbot left his native England in 1773 for the colony of Virginia in North America, in order to procure specimens and make drawings of the local insects. Following the outbreak of the American Revolutionary War in 1775, Abbot moved to Georgia, where he spent the rest of his life recording the local insects and birds.
Tab XLIX, 'Corn Emperor Moth' via the Biodiversity Heritage Library
Although he was a prolific natural history artist and well regarded in his lifetime, Abbot is not as well remembered as some of his contemporaries, who included famous naturalists such as John James Audubon. While he is thought to have created four to five thousand watercolours, most of them were unpublished or uncredited during his lifetime.
The Natural History of the Rarer Lepidopterous Insects of Georgia includes 104 hand-coloured plates by John Harris, after original artwork by John Abbot. It's an important early work to depict North American butterflies and moths, and has been appreciated by scientists and collectors alike for its accuracy as well as its beauty. The introduction was written by James Edward Smith, a founder of The Linnean Society of London.
While it is exciting to encounter rare material in our collection, it is also nice to be able to share it. Luckily, the work has been digitised and is now freely accessible through the Biodiversity Heritage Library, so have a browse online or download your own copy of this rare work!

Linkin Park's Chester Bennington fronts Stone Temple Pilots
Listen to Linkin Park on iHeartRadio | Listen to Stone Temple Pilots on iHeartRadio
Lack of a permanent frontman didn't stop the Stone Temple Pilots from taking the stage at this weekend's KROQ Weenie Roast. Linkin Park's Chester Bennington filled in for former leader Scott Weiland at the Los Angeles concert event on Saturday.
Bennington explained in a statement that he's been an STP fan since he was 13-years-old, and he "jumped at the chance" to do something creative with them. That something creative also included recording the new single "Out of Time" with the band. But both Chester and Stone Temple Pilots guitarist Dean DeLeo tell fans that Linkin Park will always be Bennington's first priority, and their collaboration was just something "cool" they all wanted to try.
Despite this detour, Bennington says he's also currently working on new Linkin Park music. Stone Temple Pilots, meanwhile, have yet to confirm if or when the follow-up to "Out of Time" might be released. For now, fans can download the single for free at StoneTemplePilots.com.

Angioedema is swelling that happens just below the surface of the skin, most often around the lips and eyes. When you have an allergic reaction, your body produces histamine, which causes blood vessels to swell. Angioedema is like hives, but with hives there are itchy red welts on the surface of your skin. Angioedema is a deeper swelling.
Both hives and angioedema are usually caused by an allergic reaction, to either a food or medication. Things like pollen or insect stings can also cause angioedema. In rare cases, it may be a sign of an underlying condition, such as leukemia or Hodgkin's disease. There are two basic types of angioedema:
Angioedema can take anywhere from minutes to hours to develop. It may affect just one side of the body but not the other. In most cases, angioedema is mild. Severe angioedema can cause the throat or tongue to swell, cutting off the airway, and it can be life threatening.
Common symptoms of angioedema include:
Sometimes the cause is unknown. Angioedema may be caused by allergies to foods, dyes, or pollen, or certain medications. Foods that often cause allergies include shellfish, dairy, and nuts. Drugs that often spark allergic reactions include nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs, such as ibuprofen or Advil), blood pressure medications, aspirin, and antibiotics. Conditions such as leukemia, Hodgkin's disease, and connective tissue disorders such as lupus may also trigger angioedema.
These factors increase the risk for angioedema:
Your health care provider will do a physical exam and ask about your symptoms. Be sure to tell your health care provider about all medications -- prescription and over-the-counter -- as well as herbs and supplements you are taking. Blood and urine tests may help pinpoint the cause of the angioedema.
You should get rid of any known or suspected triggers for allergies. Allergy testing with a trained specialist may help identify what you're allergic to. If you often have angioedema, you should wear a Medic Alert bracelet.
If you have mild angioedema, you may be able to treat it with over-the-counter antihistamines or alternative therapies. With severe angioedema, the first priority is to ensure that the person's airway is open and they can breathe. The next steps include finding and removing the allergen as well as relieving other symptoms. You can manage infrequent attacks as they happen. Frequent attacks may require ongoing treatment, perhaps with an allergist, dermatologist, or other specialist.
Several medicines may help prevent or relieve attacks. For mild cases, you can use over-the-counter antihistamines, such as Benadryl, Zyrtec, Allegra, or Claritin. Note that Benadryl often causes drowsiness.
Your doctor may prescribe antihistamines. Mild attacks tend to clear up within 4 days with or without medication. For severe cases, your doctor may prescribe corticosteroids to reduce swelling and itching, or you may need a shot of epinephrine (EpiPen).
In a severe attack, you should seek emergency help right away. Do not take any new drugs, herbs, or supplements during an attack.
Following a good nutritional plan and using some herbs in between attacks may help reduce or prevent angioedema. Herbs and supplements may help reduce mild symptoms, especially if you often have angioedema. Find a health care practitioner who is experienced at prescribing herbs and supplements so you can find the right ones for you. It is important to tell your doctor about all medications, herbs, and supplements you are taking.
Some foods may trigger angioedema in people who are allergic. You should eliminate any foods or food additives that trigger symptoms. The following are the most common food triggers:
Some people may have a reaction in response to:
Your health care provider can help identify food triggers by:
If you have stomach symptoms such as abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea, or reduced appetite, you may want to try a diet that eliminates common food triggers even if you don't have a specific food allergy.
These supplements may also help treat symptoms:
The use of herbs is a time-honored approach to strengthening the body and treating disease. Herbs, however, can trigger side effects and can interact with other herbs, supplements, or medications. For these reasons, take herbs with care, under the supervision of a health care provider.
Before prescribing a remedy, homeopaths take into account a person's constitutional type -- your physical, emotional, and psychological makeup. An experienced homeopath assesses all of these factors when determining the most appropriate treatment for each individual.
Some doctors report that acupuncture may help reduce the frequency or severity of allergic reactions such as angioedema.
If angioedema affects the throat, the person's airway could be blocked, which could be life-threatening. In rare cases, angioedema may develop into anaphylaxis, which requires emergency medical care to maintain breathing, blood pressure, and heart function and to reverse the reaction.
After an attack, it's important to identify and avoid any triggers and to treat any underlying condition.

Libratone Zipp1/13 Pocket-lint
Great looks, very easy to use, decent battery. The fact that it can create its own wireless network for playback is an excellent touch.
Audio quality is average to good, but should really be good to very good at this price.
The more Apple fiddles around with its dock connector, the less iOS speaker manufacturers seem to care. The proof of the pudding is that there are far fewer dock-based audio systems sent our way compared to the enormous wave of Lightning-agnostic wireless speaker systems. That doesn't mean that the likes of this Libratone Zipp here aren't interested in the iFamily. On the contrary, they've just realised that AirPlay is a safer way to go.
The Zipp divided opinion on the looks front. Some love it as a fine example of modern design with the ergonomics and the contemporary colour palette to match. For others, it's a big, felt log. It's up to you what you make of it, really. It is very much as you see in our pictures - a good-sized, cylindrical, black cage which houses a 360-degree speaker array covered in a choice of different, zip-close, fuzzy material sleeves. It's as much something that you could have sitting on the shelf between your Chris Keenan teapot and your vinyl collection as it is a gadget, and we suppose that's rather the point.
What's more, it also comes with that all-important leather strap attached to the top which indicates that this is a portable item, just in case you'd missed the point when you made your purchase, and it plays the part well. It's not so heavy that it's a chore, nor so light that you fear for its safety. The sleeves also add a fairly decent layer of protection from sand, mud, fag ash and a minor soaking from rogue flying mojito. It's not rugged, but it will do.
Each box comes with three different colourways to alternate, and they're certainly easy enough to zip on and off. Topped with a simple white platform and single big button with the Libratone bird symbol, you can rest assured that the company has done a decent job on the design front. Oh, and if you want to know where the controls are, there's a small vertical panel just below the strap. Very neat.
AirPlay their way
The Libratone Zipp isn't just an AirPlay speaker. Well, it is, but it's a bit cleverer than that. While Apple's wireless standard uses your Wi-Fi network to link up smoothly enough between your iThing and your audio unit, PlayDirect is Libratone's "look Ma, no hands" approach, with the hands, in this case, being your router.
Much like the portable hotspot system on a smartphone, the Zipp can create its own little wireless network. Just search for the SSID Libratone on your iPad or iPhone, hit the AirPlay button on your music software and away you go. Naturally, it's going to drain the juice a lot quicker with the Zipp broadcasting its own signal, but the 4-hour Wi-Fi battery life on this device is good enough that it's not really an issue on a daily basis. Head off camping for a few nights and it'll doubtless pack up by day two.
There's a bit of jiggery-pokery when it comes to switching between standard AirPlay and PlayDirect and the Zipp didn't quite make it once or twice during initial set-up but there's an interesting language of light colours and flashes to tell you where it's at, and a comprehensive but compact enough set of instructions to decode them.
The only other connectivity of note is for those without AirPlay capabilities. There's no wireless for them, just a 3.5mm input. You know the routine. The bottom line is that if you haven't got an iPod, iPhone or iPad then you're wasting your time and money by buying the Libratone Zipp.
Sound's good
What we liked most about the sound quality from the Libratone Zipp is its balance. It's a 2.1 system consisting of a pair of 1-inch ribbon-based tweeters and a single 4-inch bass unit which, combined with Libratone's FullRoom technology, mean that wherever you put this device, you'll find yourself in a good place to appreciate the sound.
The Zipp is certainly powerful enough for a portable speaker; more so than some of the tiny units out there and just about enough to have yourself a reasonable one-room or open air party. The one thing we don't like about it is that the quality of sound isn't what it could be. As we say, it's balanced but it's rather like someone has taken all the excitement out of it. Just to be clear, this isn't because we prefer the bottom-heavy Beats-type creations of latter day. We don't. This is about a richness and warmth that isn't quite there. The sound is clear and faithful but less than we'd expect from a £329.99 device.
Much of that cost, it seems, goes into the design, the connectivity and likely the licensing. While it's money fairly well spent, the main reason to buy an audio device is for the audio, and it's not an area where we wish to compromise; not when the hard dock or open Bluetooth competition at the same price offers more.
The Libratone Zipp is a great consumer device and just the kind of thing that those in the Apple community will enjoy. It looks great, it's easy to use and the wireless functions and efficient battery life make it an incredibly practical portable music tool.
If you're predominantly an Android or other system user, stay well away. The audio quality, while respectable, is not what one would hope for from a £329.99 device once you take away all that AirPlay accessibility.

When my dad says he's going mad and is going to have a breakdown and doesn't know how it will end - I tell him he'll be ok, mum is with him and there is always someone to look after him. but he gets upset and cries. He knows things are wrong but I cant tell him he's got dementia and I'm sure he thinks what I say is futile and I am treating him like a child but I don't know what else to say. We eventually change the subject and he calms down. Then says why did I get so silly what's wrong with me ? I usually revert to 'I think you've been dreaming sometimes it gets very confusing doesn't it.' Or you've been in a deep sleep and you're just waking up.
This usually happens during the night. He gets up to the loo every hour or so, so nights are pretty disturbed anyway.
Just thought I'd see if anyone has some clear statements I could use in this scenario. So he doesnt think I'm patronising and knows I care.

Best Of :: Food & Drink
This colorful BYOB spot has an expansive menu bulging with Chinese and Vietnamese fare. Each dish is assembled with fresh, supple ingredients. Caravelle has swell Vietnamese spring rolls and fire pots, splendid whole baked fish and dapper clams with black bean sauce. Plus, you'll leave satiated and without the dizzying blur of Chinese Restaurant Syndrome. (The MSG kind, not the kind you get when you think you've just eaten snake disguised as crab Rangoon.)
OK, so it's not exactly new in traditional restaurant parlance, which entails a new name, owner and cuisine. But York St., which has been around for a dozen years, sure tastes different. After purchasing York St. earlier this year, chef Sharon Hage cleaned it up, yanked out bolted-down clutter, whitewashed the walls, added some mirrors and created a new logo (the "Y" looks like a twig). But these are just minor adjustments compared with what she has done to the food. Hage's touch doesn't unleash dramatic cuisine, nor visually compelling cookery. What springs is a gathering of subtle flourishes that, taken in its entirety, pulses with both imaginative artistry and disciplined harmony. For example, Hage creates a horseradish broth in which to bathe her mussels. To this, she flecks the puddle with specks of smoky ham. Slightly weird, incredibly good. Strokes like this abound, from the lavender sea-salt rubbed chicken in foie gras potato sauce to the ivory salmon with wilted pea shoots. This place isn't for everyone. It has no see-and-be-seen appeal, and the sight lines kind of suck--even for a 42-seat cubicle. But if you revere food, there's no better place. One taste, and you'll be a York dork for life.
This is a damn good list almost by any measure. It incorporates virtually all of the world's best growing regions with ample stocks from places most wine lists ignore, such as Alsace and Germany. Plus, the list is packed with a great diversity of the world's best wines, those hailing from Bordeaux and Burgundy for instance. The selection of dessert wines is beefier than most lists after subtracting chardonnay and cabernet. Yet perhaps what sets Lola's list apart are the trimmings. It contains a robust selection of half-bottles, a generous by-the-glass list, plus an assortment of "twenty somethings," wines priced in the $20-$29 range. In fact, price may be the greatest feature of Lola's list. Markups are held down from the usual 3 to 4 times wholesale, so you'll have enough shekels left over to bribe the valet for a spin in a few of the exotic sports cars he's just parked.
Steak. Not just any steak. Bob's steak. USDA prime steak, steak as thick as the bull in a campaign speech. Ask anyone anywhere in Dallas (who doesn't believe his great-grandparent has come back as a steer) who has the best steak, and he'll reflexively spit out Bob's. The flavor is rich. The meat is juicy. Tough gristle has been evacuated. The texture is buttery. The degree of doneness is perfect. And if that weren't enough, Bob throws in a potato and a glazed carrot for no extra charge, though you might want to pay him to keep the latter off your table. Bob's steak knocked our socks off. It renewed our faith in God, or steers anyway. Bob is the bovine boss. And that ain't no mad cow bull.
First it was Going Gourmet. Then entrepreneur Suzie Priore took over and retagged it Suze. In the process of transforming it to her set of tastes, Priore brought former Toscana chef Gilbert Garza. Roughly 18 months later, Garza bought out Priore. He subjected the restaurant to relatively minor changes. Garza has even left the menu somewhat intact, keeping a handful of holdovers. The food is simple, meaning it isn't burdened with "look-at-me" ensembles or unruly clashings of obtuse flavors. Everything is intelligent, balanced and clean. And when you combine this with a snug homey atmosphere and reasonable prices, you've got a great takeover--all done without junk bonds and Brooks Brothers suits.
Chef Jason Gorman has done many wonderful things during his short time at the 16-year-old City Café. But among his finest is this: potato Stilton agnolotti (Piedmont-style ravioli) in herb truffle butter sauce. It's hard to overstate what a rich, balanced and focused culinary eruption this project becomes in the mouth. Arranged in a circle around the plate, the smooth pillows are delicate (almost like a pastry in character) but forceful, merging smoothly with the butter sauce. They're topped with diminutive cauliflower florets and baby carrots strafed with crumbles of Stilton cheese. The dish comes with a choice of grilled chicken breast or grilled shrimp. Yet the best thing about this dish is that it's also among the least expensive entrées at City Café, coming in at roughly 18 bucks. Which means it's a responsible way to gradually squander the kid's college fund, at least more responsible than prime steaks would be.
