Stein: Enforce, Not Reform St. Charles Liquor Code
Mayoral candidate said the mayor just needs to enforce the law; Wyatt likes reform but wants questions answered.
In a city where liquor dealers already are tense over the St. Charles City Council's stance on downtown alcohol-related problems, things could get a little more so once there's a new sheriff — er, mayor — in town.
Whether the tension does increase remains to be seen, but St. Charles' mayoral candidates agree the city needs to draw the line more clearly and enforce the law more strictly.
On one side of the line is 3rd Ward Alderman Ray Rogina, who this week proposed revamping the city's liquor code to more clearly distinguish the difference between liquor licenses for restaurants and those for bars, to plainly delineate what penalties are in order for various infractions, and to subject 2 a.m. liquor licenses to annual approval based on an establishment's good behavior.
Jake Wyatt, another mayoral candidate, supports Rogina's idea., and candidate John Rabchuk said there was no need for him to comment on Rogina's call for liquor code reforms.
But candidate Jotham Stein, an attorney, waded into the debate with the idea that there is no need for liquor code reform. Instead, he says, the liquor code needs to be enforced.
"In St. Charles, the mayor is the liquor commissioner," Stein wrote in an email to St. Charles Patch. "We don't need a change in the liquor laws. We need a mayor who will enforce the laws. As mayor (and as a lawyer), I will ensure that the law is strictly enforced against those who break the law."
Rogina sketched out his thoughts on the reform Monday, during the City Council Government Services Committee meeting, which included a report by Police Chief Jim Lamkin and St. Charles Tavern Association spokesman Steve Baginski, the owner of The Beehive Pub, 204 W. Main St., on the progress they feel has been made toward reining in some of the alcohol-related problems in the downtown after 1 a.m.
The report was met by a still skeptical City Council, and Rogina's Monday night remarks, which he fleshed out and presented Tuesday as his initiative to reform the liquor code, were in the same context of skepticism.
"As a lawyer with more than 20 years of experience," Stein wrote, "I was stunned and saddened by Mr. Rogina's statement at the city committee's meeting last (Monday) night — quoted in the Kane County Chronicle today — that 'When no one's (no bar downtown) is culpable, everyone's culpable (all bar's are guilty).' In America — and here in St. Charles — we do not convict any group because of the wrongdoings of one or more of its members."
"Most of the patrons of the downtown bars are law-abiding citizens who pay good money for food and drink, and bring significant tax revenue to our city," Stein wrote. "I want these law-abiding citizens to keep coming to downtown. We must, however, strictly enforce the law against those patrons and bar owners who break the law. As mayor, I will ensure that those who break the law are punished."
Wyatt, on the other hand, favored the reforms Rogina has proposed.
"I agree with Alderman Rogina's comments about it's time to revisit our liquor codes," Wyatt said. "It was obvious at Monday night's meeting that several of the aldermen had issues with the report and extended hour for closing. The question I have to ask. 'Why is this just now coming about (that) we are questioning St. Charles liquor codes and why was this not discussed back when the extra hour was added to closing?'"
The retired Army colonel said he left Monday's meeting with more questions than answers on the issue.
"I have two challenges or questions to pose: 1) I would be interested to hear from Chief Lamkin as to what statistical data the city has about crime or violence when closing was 1 a.m. versus 2 a.m. and the difference; and 2) with the downtown bars having the extra hour, what impact in revenue versus expenses (bottom line — net profit) the extra hour gave their respective businesses," Wyatt wrote.
"I am a father of three sons who grew up around the world with different cultures and beliefs when it came to drinking ages, but the constants I had as a father were: 1) no consumption of liquor till you reach the legal age; 2) no operating any type of motorized vehicle involving liquor; and 3) nothing good happens after midnight," Wyatt continued. "I supported strict enforcement of curfew laws with allowances for special events. I am a nondrinker, but it does not mean I do not support businesses that sell liquor. I support establishing liquor codes and laws with strict adherence to those codes and laws. Sometimes we have to question 'Is that extra dollar worth the aggravation?' "
Stein: Focus on Business
Stein, who has focused his campaign platform on economic development, faulted Rogina's call for reform as missing the mark in terms of what the city really needs — both downtown and elsewhere.
"Downtown is distressingly empty of businesses. Downtown is full of vacant storefronts (empty shops) and empty office space, and a half-completed First Street Development," Stein wrote, "for this reason, I am not comfortable with the mix of businesses downtown. The answer, however, is not to shut down the taverns, but instead to work with those who own and manage the empty buildings downtown to recruit lots of new businesses to our downtown.
"By filling all of the downtown's retail and office vacancies, we will increase the vitality and economic health of downtown, and as a result, have a better mix of businesses there," he continued. "Over time less successful bars will be replaced by more profitable businesses, such as shops or restaurants, because it will make sense for the new businesses to open in place of the less successful bars."

I agree with Stein about rebuilding the business climate, but I don't think he has seriously looked at our liquor laws. Geneva for years has made it almost impossible to operate a "Tavern" making them serve plenty of food to balance it out. They do not have the issues we have. What they are doing is working. What harm does it do to look at this and make sensible changes.Certain bars in town have been allowed to create 80% of the problems for years with our officials looking the other way. Rogina's ideas would finally penalize those bars and reward those who operate correctly. How is that bad?

I also do not think Mr. Stein get's that it will be very difficult if not impossible to revitalize downtown retail if we can't get a handle on the bar issues. Merchants are not going to want to risk vandalism or be willing to wash vomit of their storefronts and sidewalks every morning. What kind of reputation does that send. It already is scaring our own residents and families away from downtown unless there is a fest which only happens twice a year. Simply talk with the merchants who are already here dealing with the impacts of the bar issues.

I have to agree with you Thomas. Yes we need to enforce the laws, but we do need to change the ordinances and the license structure. Mr. Rogina is correct on that fact. It will take both along with cooperation with the owners. I will give credit to both candidates for acknowledging we have problems though and they want to address them.

Reform is desperately needed on this issue. When an applicant comes before the City and asks for a B-3 liquor license (for restaurants, per the ordinance), we have no idea if that applicant will run the new establishment like a restaurant (with the majority of gross sales receipts in food) or like a bar (with the majority of gross sales receipts in liquor). Worse still, if they do end up running their establishment more like a bar, there is absolutely zero recourse for the City, other than to monitor that they are following State laws regarding the service of liquor (overserving, etc.). Given that, the current ordinance offers the Council exactly zero control in shaping the future of the town, as far as liquor service is concerned; it is in desperate need of reform. Yes, we need to make sure that everybody follows the rules already in place, but the problem is that our current ordinance has a loophole in it that is big enough to drive a beer truck through. I blogged on this subject in greater detail just about a year ago: http://stcharles-il.patch.com/blog_posts/difference-without-a-distinction-860d2b0b

Case and point. We have sold our reputation for relatively few dollars of tax revenue (a fraction of a percent of the City's annual budget). A wise professor I had in college once remarked "funny thing about reputations; you only get to sell them once." While I am not as deeply pessimistic as my professor was, he did make a very good point. We have sold our reputation, and we are now tasked with the huge task of changing the way our downtown functions and then changing people's perceptions of our downtown. We can get our reputation back, but we must start with reform now; it is desperately needed.

Tropical Modernism: The masters of Brazilian Modernism
As part of this year's 'Fuori Salone' in Milan, the 'relics' of the Brazilian Modernism were displayed in a church near the city's Porta Romana: rare pieces by the so-called 'Tropical Modernists' of the 1950s, 60s and 70s. The construction of Brasilia and the visionary ideas of architects Oscar Niemeyer and Lucio Costa laid the path for 'Brazilian Modernism', which is almost unknown in Europe.
When Le Corbusier first visited Rio de Janeiro in 1929, he found Brazil fascinating, but rural and provincial. Although he gave a few lectures, these were reserved for a small, highly educated circle that was able to follow his talks in French. Lucio Costa and Oscar Niemeyer were among these few; they would later come to define Brazilian Modernism.
It was also they who made a stunning entrance with the Brazilian Pavilion for the 1939 New York World's Fair. This was followed in 1943 by the 'Brazil Builds' exhibition at MOMA, which in turn was followed by the touring exhibition in Europe of the same name, which brought developments in Brazil to the attention of architects from the northern hemisphere.
'Brazilian Modern' exhibition at Spazio Miticoro, Milan
The construction of planned city Brasilia in the 1950s was the high point of Brazilian Modernism: the new town, or rather new capital, can still be considered as the largest building project of all time. But many other well-known and lesser-known modernists worked alongside the internationally renowned architects Costa and Niemeyer, whose work we examine here.

In 1963, Sergio Rodrigues, a young and more or less unemployed architect, received the commission to design the seating for the auditorium of Brasilia's new university. Darcy Ribeiro, the university's director, told Rodrigues in the same breath that he had just 20 days for the design, production and installation of the seating. Over in Sao Paolo, Rodrigues considered the following questions. Firstly, what materials are readily available? Secondly, who can work with them? A workshop took on the metalwork and the carpentry, while a saddler's were charged with making the leather seats and backs.
The project illustrates how the availability of local materials and technical know-how influenced Tropical Modernism enormously. The furniture's details are refined, but often have simple joints.

A trail-blazer of Tropical Modernism and a significant role model for Sergio Rodrigues was Joaquim Tenreiro. Like Lucio Costa and Burle Max, he was also born in Europe, emigrating to Brazil in 1928 at the age of 22. As son of a traditional cabinet-maker, he found employment in the workshops of the Brazilian bourgeoisie, like, for example, that of renowned company Laub & Hirsch, which produced furniture predominantly in the European style.
Tenreiro built up a lot of experience in doing this, but was much more interested in the development of his own, contemporary formal language, which, to his mind, needed to display a 'lightness of form', 'a lightness, which has nothing to do with literal weight, but rather is about elegance and spatial functionality'.

The vast experience he gained in working with wood stood him in good stead, and tropical wood like Jacaranda was also the material that the indigenous Brazilian people had used for making different utensils, like cooking ware, weapons, furnishings and lots more.
Tenreiro's new style brought together opposing influences, like the luxurious colonial style and the simple, mostly utilitarian formal language of native Indian products.
Following the opening of his own furniture atelier in 1940, Tenreiro had to wait another ten years until his work became famous – not least through his biggest client Oscar Niemeyer, whose buildings he furnished.

The 'Brazilian Modern' exhibition doesn't only display work by well-known international masters like Rodrigues and Tenreiro; it also features work by Giuseppe Scapinelli, who ran a furniture shop in Sao Paolo in the 1950s, from which he sold his own designs.

'Novo Rumo' was a collective of architects who often worked in glass, wood and metal. The 'Novo Rumo' group was closely linked with the Polish artist Jorge Zalszupin. Zalszupin emigrated to Brazil after the Second World War, like so many other Europeans. He founded the design collective L'Atelier, which consisted of architects, engineers and craftsmen.

The construction of Brasilia was the high point, and at the same time the end, of many Brazilian modernists' careers. Following the military coup of 1964, a number of the key figures of Brazilian Modernism went into exile or were imprisoned, among them Oscar Niemeyer and Paolo Mendes da Rocha.

In spite of all the constraints under the military dictatorship, Brazil experienced an unforeseen economic miracle, during which a new generation of designers emerged. Even today, Brazil produces an astounding variety of modern architecture and furniture, which are only in part known in Europe. EDRA and Vitra have given the Campana Brothers and Brazilian design in general an international profile. However, due to its strong domestic market, many Brazilian products don't make it over the ocean and are only available in Brazil.

A number of companies are represented in the exhibition, however, and many of products by the masters of Brazilian Modernism are still in production today. Sergio Rodrigues, like most of the designers in Brazil in the 1950s and 60s, founded his own manufacturing company; since then, Linbrasil has acquired the rights to reproduce his furniture designs, which are sold in Europe by ClassiCon.

Jorge Zalszupin's furniture is available through Etel Interiores. Alongside new, own-label designs by Etel Carmona's design team, which are in the tradition of the Brazilian Modernists' superior handwork, Etel Interiores have also reissued work by Gregori Warchavchik and the design collective Branco & Preto.

Timeless classics, whose formal language has a touch of the exotic and whose workmanship is part of a tradition of outstanding handcraft: Brazilian design lends the less tropical, more northerly interior an exciting, stylish warmth.
Once the 'Brazilian Modern – Masters of Style' closes, the 120 or so pieces on display will be sold. Where and when is not yet known.

Irish entrepreneurs willing to pitch in to get Celtic Tiger back on its feet
Gallery / Jerry Kennelly speech and archive photos / Click here
Complacency and poor service have damaged Irish business, but successful entrepreneurs can help out.
So said Jerry Kennelly, a millionaire businessman from Tralee, speaking in New York Tuesday. Kennelly has spearheaded the Young Entrepreneur Programme for high school and college students in Ireland, and a scheme called Endeavour, in which Irish multimillionaires choose 12 promising entrepreneurs and advise them on setting up business.
"We've been through ten years of complacency where the customer came second and lifestyle came first, and we need to shape up and to provide better service," Kennelly said, in an interview with IrishCentral. "There's a new era of realism where people need to be more honest about the value that they can add for customers.
"We believe that entrepreneurs can be just as valuable in government as they are in private enterprise," he added.
Kennelly is a photographer by training, and he recently set up an online archive of images of Ireland taken by his parents between 1953 and 1973. A book of the images, called "Eyewitness," is coming out next week.
He was in New York addressing a group of Irish businesspeople at a joint gathering of the Irish International Business Network and Irish Network NYC at the Deutsche Bank building on Wall Street. About 130 top businesspeople were at the event, which was entitled, "No Time to be Average."
"Everyone has a role to play. Everyone, whether they're in a job or in a position where they're employing people, needs to get a better grip on the service culture and to respect customers," Kennelly said. "It's up to people to man up to the task."
A dark-haired Kerryman, Kennelly inherited a passion for photography from his parents. He became a freelance photographer in 1981, working for Irish and international papers. With the arrival of the Apple Mac and the growth of the web, he saw his opportunity, setting up Stockbyte, a company that sold high quality royalty-free images to customers. In 2006, Getty bought Stockbyte and Kennelly's other company Stockdisc, for $135 million. Two years later, the market crashed.
This wasn't luck, Kennelly explained in his talk. He had studied the market. "We rode the best part of the wave and we were smart enough to get out on time," he said.

Ask a Librarian / FAQs:
Frequently Asked Questions About the Library Catalog
Who can use the Library Catalog?The use of the Library Catalog is unrestricted. There is no login name and no password required. All users are welcome! Please read the next section if you are having difficulty connecting. Why is it that every time I try to connect to the Library Catalog from home I just get a blank screen?If you only get a blank screen whenever you try to connect to the Library Catalog you are probably using a browser (Netscape 4.8, for example) that does not support the Library Catalog applications. Full Library Catalog functioning requires Internet Explorer 6.x, Firefox 1.x, or Netscape 7.x. IE 6.x is available from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/downloads/default.mspx#EDAA. The latest (and earlier) version of Netscape is available from http://browser.netscape.com/ns8/download/default.jsp. Why do I get a "session already in use" or "session timed out" message from the Library Catalog message no matter what I do?This error message is typically the result of one of two things:
Changing Your Cache Settings The exact instructions on how to change your browser's cache settings varies from browser to browser and version to version. Proxy Server Settings If you find that checking and re-setting your cache preferences does not work, then try checking your proxy server preferences. If your browser is configured to connect to a proxy server, removing that setting will probably fix your access problem. However, you should check with your institution (if you are working from a PC at your place of work, for example) or your Internet Service Provider (ISP) as to why your browser is configured to use a proxy server. It may be possible for the institution to configure the proxy server in way that will allow you to use the Library Catalog with the proxy server setting on in your browser.
How do I find a specific book in the Library Catalog? When I put in a title I just seem to get a whole list of irrelevant results.When you bring up the Library Catalog, it is automatically set to do a WORDS anywhere search. "WORDS anywhere" looks for words found anywhere within a title; within the subject headings; within the list of author names; etc. WORDS anywhere:: "college students" :
However, if you are looking for a specific title, or a specific author's name, or a specific subject heading within the Library Catalog, you will usually want to use the pull-down menu to change your search type from "WORDS anywhere" to "TITLE begins with," or "AUTHOR (last name first)," or "SUBJECT begins with." A "begins with" search looks for your search terms as a phrase beginning with the first word entered in an alphabetical list of authors, titles, subjects or other headings. So if you are looking for a book entitled Not Quite Burned Out But Crispy Around the Edges, just
You will then be presented with a list of titles; the title closest to the phrase that you entered should be toward the top of the list.
Browse Catalog by Title: "not quite burned out"
1) NOT QUITE AT HOME HOW AN AMERICAN JEWISH COMMUNITY LIVES WITH ITSELF AND ITS NEIGHBORS [1] 2) NOT QUITE BURNED OUT BUT CRISPY AROUND THE EDGES INSPIRATION LAUGHTER AND ENCOURAGEMENT FOR TEACHERS [1] 3) NOT QUITE CLASSICAL [1] Click on the link to go to the record for that title. How do I find out if the Library has a particular journal?To find out if the Rutgers University Libraries receive a particular journal, just
If, for example, you were to enter "journal of accounting and economics" as your periodical title, you would then be presented with a list of titles; the title closest to the phrase that you entered should be toward the top of the list.
Browsing the Catalog
1) JOURNAL OF ACCOUNTANCY ONLINE [2] 2) JOURNAL OF ACCOUNTING AND ECONOMICS [1] 3) JOURNAL OF ACCOUNTING AND PUBLIC POLICY [4] 4) JOURNAL OF ACCOUNTING AND PUBLIC POLICY ONLINE [2] Clicking on the second title listed would lead you to the following record:
I found the record for the journal I'm looking for; now how do I figure out if a library has the issue that I need?The Rutgers Libraries are currently in the process of changing how the periodical "holdings" [i.e., the part of the record that indicates which libraries own what portion of each journal title] display in the Library Catalog. During this period of flux, you may encounter two possible types of periodical holdings records. The "Old" Journal Record Format
In a traditional the Library Catalog serial record, the important part to look at are the entries after "Library has:"; these indicate which Rutgers Libraries have what portion of the journal. In this case, the Dana Library in Newark and the Robeson Library in Camden both have the Journal of Accounting and Economics. The Dana Library has it going back to volume 1 (1979); while Camden has it going back to volume 19 (1995). Both libraries stopped receiving it in the year 2000. Note also the "Electronic access:" link that appears before the first "Library has". This indicates that some portion of this title is available electronically. You would click on this link to find out if the volume/article that you are looking for is available electronically. The "New" Journal Record FormatEventually, our periodical records should all look something like this:
Instead of a single "Library Has:" per library, there are two listings for each Rutgers library that is currently receiving a particular title. In this case, the only Rutgers Library that is subscribing to this title is LSM (The Library of Science and Medicine) on the Busch Campus. The first LSM holdings entry gives the location [PER] and holdings for Current [unbound] issues: the most recent issue that LSM had received at this point was the July 20, 2002 issue, which is Issue 10 of Volume 75 of this journal. The second LSM holdings entry gives the location [PER] and holdings for Bound volumes. There is one listing for the most recently bound volumes [i.e., Current holdings] and another listing for earlier bound volumes [i.e., "Holdings"]. All together LSM has bound volumes of the International Journal of Control from volume 1 (1965) through volume 75 , issues 1-6 (2002). Note that in this case there are two "Electronic access:" links listed before the first holdings record. The second link has information on which issues of this journal you will find if you select this link: "EBSCO" has the full text of this journal going back to July 10, 1998; however, the most recent twelve months are not available in full text at this link. The first "Electronic access:" link has no information about what portion of the journal is available at that link; you would need to follow the link to determine that information. How do I figure out if the issue that I need was on the shelf on a certain date?We are unable to determine when a particular issue of a journal became available to the public after receipt, or when any individual issue, volume, or other item was available on our shelves for someone to consult. The Rutgers University Libraries have open stacks in all facilites except for certain special collections. Library users themselves take materials off the shelves for consultation or check out, and we cannot certify when an item was not in use. Attorneys with further questions should call the office of university counsel. Where can I find information about the library that has the book that I need?For information about a particular Rutgers University library, see the Libraries and Centers page. How do I report an error that I've found in the Library Catalog?While in the specific Library Catalog record in which you have found the error, click on "Report Error" and fill in the requested information. How do I renew Rutgers Libraries materials that I have checked out?To renew Rutgers Libraries' materials first select MY ACCOUNT from the black bar across the top of every Library Catalog screen. At the My Account screen, select Renew Checkouts from the bottom of the middle column. To request that items be renewed, you first must identify yourself by entering your USER ID, the 14-digit barcode found on the back of your Rutgers ID or RUConnection card, and your library PIN. After you have entered the appropriate information in the boxes provided, click on List Charged Items. The next screen will list all items you have currently charged. Select the items you wish to renew by placing a check mark in the box provided. After making your selections, complete the renewal process by clicking on Renew Selected Items. To view the new due dates assigned, go back to My Account and follow the link for Review Checkouts. How do I renew materials that I got through Interlibrary Loan?You can renew most Interlibrary Loan books in the same way as you renew Rutgers' materials: In the Library Catalog, select MY ACCOUNT from the black bar across the top of every screen and proceed as above. Interlibrary Loan books are renewed for an additional 28 days. Please note that the 28-day renewal loan takes effect on the day you make the renewal; 28 days are not added to your original due date unless you wait to renew on that date. Interlibrary loan books may only be renewed once. You cannot renew interlibrary loan materials that are designated No Renewal or that have been recalled by the lending institution. How do I find out what my PIN is?PINS are 4-digit Personal Identification Numbers issued by the Libraries. If you don't know/have forgotten what your PIN is, you may request one in person or by telephone at any Rutgers library circulation desk or online by filling out the Library PIN/Registration form. You will need to have a PIN in order to check your library record or renew books in My Account. I get the message "Access Denied" when I try to use the My Account functions. Why is that?Most often this message is the result of your having entered your 14-digit User ID (the barcode on the back of your Rutgers' ID or RUConnection card) with spaces. It should be entered with no spaces, for example "29030028182000". Please note that as of Spring 2002 you must enter your barcode as your User ID; social security numbers can no longer be used to access your records. If reentering your barcode as a single string does not solve your problem, then either your barcode or your PIN is not being recognized by the Libraries' system.

One of my favorite restaurants. My husband and I kind of stumbled upon this place looking for a new restaurant. We always get the same thing every time and joke that Eastland would be our "last" meal if we could choose! We actually just moved to Franklin so its a bit of a hike to East Nashville, but we go for special occasions. I would definitely recommend the mac and cheese and the goat cheese appetizer.
I love Eastland!!!!!!. I have friends in the neighborhood and we go to Eastland at least once a week.They have fabulous happy hour specials and the ambience is laid back and stress free.Hal is a talented chef and Cara always seems to have everything under control.I always recommend Eastland to friends and family from out of town and have never heard anything but raves.The Mac and Cheese is to die for and I'm sure it is low cal.!!!!!!
Terrible service, mediocre food. The food was way too salty, the service was really horrible, the manager seemed pre-occupied with the wine she was drinking at the end of the night, and to top it off, we spotted a roach scurrying across the bar. Needless to say, we wont be back.
Eastland Cafe - losing their fine reputation... going sour. Eastland Cafe has had a good reputation in Nashville for years, but unfortunately with what has seemed to be recent changes in staffing, the environment there has gone sour. The servers all have an attitude, however it seems they have much too many tables to themselves and I think I heard something about our server having to wash dishes which is why he took so long to get us water. Water! The food there is good, I must say, but these last few times I've been going in the food did NOT taste how it used to, presentation was sloppy and when I asked for it to be redone, it came out worse. There was no management anywhere to be found. Who's running this nuthouse?! Whoever they need to do their job or they're going to lose their reputation real quick.
Good food, awful service. Took out of town guest after hearing this was a great restaurant. I was so disappointed and actually embarressed. Waiter was awful - very inattentive. Food was tasty, but portions were very small. They did have a great selection so there was something for everyone. Will not be returning.
Excited, then Disappointed.
I was out with a group of women to celebrate a birthday. We had trouble finding the restaurant and called again to make sure we were headed in the right direction. When we arrived the hostess was lovely and brought us to our table. Our server was named Jon. He came over to take our drink order and made a comment about our group being directionally challenged. We didn't think anything of it other than this was his attempt at humor. Our drinks arrived and Jon went over the specials for the evening. He did not recite them from memory, kept turning to his notes, which was fine. He came back to take our order and I asked if he would advise me on the two entrees I had in mind. He was very non committal about offering any recommendations. This is the first time I have had a server do this. It was odd and from that point on he became increasingly rude and condescending to each of us until it was time for the tab. I would describe him as passive-aggressive. I ordered the mahi-mahi special with the potato gnocchi and the house salad with goat cheese. The salad was wonderful and I was looking forward to the entree. I asked for the wine list and Jon presented it to me, this time he suddenly wanted to offer suggestions. My entree arrived and it was mahi-mahi with diced potatoes, not the potato gnocchi Jon had recited twice from his notes. By this point I wasn't even interested in asking him about the error, our strategy was to ignore him because he was so caustic. We asked for to go containers, he said he would package them. We didn't feel we could trust him handling our food and asked for the containers. That is how bad our experience was.
Our group dines out once a month together. I was in the food service industry and feel a kinship to servers. Jon received 15% gratuity, which to me is for poor service. In all honesty he should have been given zero for his horrible attitude. We've been all over Nashville, everywhere from Watermark to Flyte to Cabana to Miro to tayst, etc. . We have had an excellent service and dining experience in each of these establishments. I understand there is a stereotype of women diners. I think Jon presumed this before making an effort to know us. We were in no way difficult, it was the other way around. When I dine out, the last thing I want to experience when I take time out of my hectic schedule, is to deal with a surly server. Eastland came highly recommended. We liked the vibe and thought the menu looked promising. Unfortunately Jon was intent on spoiling our experience. My advice to him, with job security being very unpredictable in the current economy, is he should find an occupation which suits his skill set. Whatever that may be. Eastland would have gotten a higher rating, Jon brought it down.
Worst Hostess Experience EVER. I won't be going back..
So, this was actually the second time I've eaten at the Eastland Cafe and thanks to the hostess at the front door, It will definitely be my last.
We happened to be the last two to arrive for birthday party in which a reservation had been made for 8 people. When we walked in and informed this pathetic excuse for a hostess who we were with, she proceeded to put her hand on her hip and lecture for at least 3 or 4 minutes about how in the "restaurant business" it reflected poorly on her if everyone didn't arrive on time. and blah blah blah blah blah. (As if anything could've reflected more poorly than her own behavior.) One of the other guests finally told her to shut her mouth and not to utter another word. Which thankfully, she did.
We ate, drank and enjoyed that birthday party until almost 10:00 and believe it or not, at no time was I worried that the world would come to an abrupt end because a few folks were late for a reservation.
It is a shame that an establishment such as this which does have good food, good servers, would employ a hostess with such an attitude. I know of 8 people who will never step through that door again.
Best spot in all of nashville. My boyfriend and I pick this spot for dates, anniversaries, or just because we crave it! I have been with parties and it was great for that too! Goat cheese brulee is a must have appetizer. All the food is large portions and great combinations of flavors... I cannot rave about this place enough! John is funny and knows the menu well! Linsey is a great bartender, and cute! YOU MUST TRY this place!
Consistent!. Happy Hour - Good Value, Consistent, Good Bar Atmosphere, noise level acceptable, Cocktails mostly strong - 2 will sort you out nicely after a hard day's work, $5 appetisers that will fill you up. A great 1.5 hr unwind after work and cheaper than cooking at home. Qualities that are the norm but sadly lacking at most Nashville bars.
best happy hour deal in town.
My girlfriends & I go to Eastland Cafe once a week for happy hour. You can't beat $5 specialty martinis & appetizers. The pizzas are always really good & big enough to share. The crust is nice & thin and they make the buffalo mozzarella in house. Other menu items include quesadillas (always good & always something new), potstickers, spring rolls & their newest edition: pork sliders served on yeast rolls with homemade pickles & cole slaw. Delicious!!
The staff is really nice. We usually stay for a while, sometimes a few hours. They never encourage us to leave, even though we don't spend as much money as other people that are there for dinner.
The restaurant is beautiful & has a great atmosphere. I think it was opened fairly recently, but isn't ultra modern & sterile. It feels like it's been there forever.
Go ahead & give it a try. The happy hour appetizers are so good that I don't doubt the dinner offerings are amazing as well!

Course Title: Extreme Java Course Number: g22.3033-007
Instructor: Jean-Claude Franchitti Session: 5
One of the two basic problems that the virtual classroms environment is intended to solve is how to integrate SMIL presentations into a two-dimensional chat room framework used for education purpose. One of the chat room frameworks suggested for the implementation of the virtual classrooms environment is the one distributed by onchat.com. You are encouraged to visit www.onchat.com, to become a member, create your own room, and obtain onchat a pager to communicate with your online "buddies". Once you create a room, you can make it private and allow selected members (a.k.a., "buddies") to access it.
As an alternative, you can use a similar graphical chat environment called thePalace. Communities.com, the company that distributed thePalace has been keeping a low profile while preparing the release of a new product based on a J2EE-compliant scalable architecture. After careful evaluation of various online 2D and 3D graphical chat environment, it appears that onchat.com provides an environment that is very similar to thePalace and is based on a simpler architecture. In particular, thePalace client software was written in C++ and required the use of JNI to interact with Java programs. The virtual classrooms specification posted is based on thePalace software. You should review the overall architecture suggested in that document for illustration purpose. Note that you are also free to evaluate and use other online graphical frameworks to implement your project. In particular, we are only looking at extending the onchat framework in this document. We plan to study the CORBA, RMI, and EJB-based frameworks in more detail as they can be more easily extended via Java programming to support the virtual classrooms application services described in the proposal and specification documents.
To understand the context for the virtual classrooms e-Business application, you should think about communities-based environment as virtual worlds in which various users can share information and perform activities in real-time. Most recently, MP3-based distributed framework (see www.audiogalaxy.com) have focused on enabling the real-time sharing of music. This type of activity combined with chat, and the ability to evolve in a 2D or 3D framework to visit various rooms are all part of systems classified as online community-based systems. In this particular context, the goal of the virtual classrooms application is to explore the benefit of using XML and Java technologies to support the sharing of multimedia presentations, which may include a mixture of audio, video, and graphics.
The virtual classrooms application also suggests the use of XML to support the management of deferred chat logs. Basically, graphical chat room users may decide to visit a room to attend multimedia presentations. As they do so, they may come up with questions and ask them while they visit the online classroom. A possible solution would be to allow these log files to be managed as XML documents that could be collected from the various online students and merged into a single Q&A XML file. An online instructor would use these Q&A files as a basis for providing his answers and publishing them periodically by making them available as links in the online classroom.
The remaining part of this document focuses on suggesting various preliminary solutions for enabling the integration of SMIL presentations in an online graphical classroom.
Solution Decision
Clearly, there are many ways to solve this problem. You should first determine what makes one method more appropriate than another. The following are relevant decision criteria:
1. Adding SMIL presentations to an SMIL archive should be fast and easy.
2. If this were a "real world" scenario, we would want the integration of SMIL documents to require minimal knowledge of the architecture of the graphical chat environment and minimal technical skill so that anyone could create presentations and integrate them.
3. We want to have a highly continuous application: we never want to have to shut down our graphical chat server.
4. We want to stay as thin client as possible to reduce maintenance and deployment costs.
5. The SMIL document requires minimal manipulation to be usable so that our system is fully compliant with SMIL so that anyone can submit SMIL presentations. Also, the more manipulation we have to do, the more room there is for error and the longer it takes for SMIL presentations to be published.
6. Our SMIL documents should be fast and easy for our users to access.
There are several entry points into a typical graphical chat framework. Here are some alternative solutions to our integration problem:
A. Client-side integration via vendor published API.
The idea would be to write Java client code that launches a browser and points it to a URL for a SMIL presentation. In fact, VB 6 has a browser object for which you can set a default location. So, you could create a ChatClientBrowser in VB and call it from your Java client code. If we wanted to make the presentations which come dynamic, you could write a client-side Java program which communicates with a servlet that pulls the locations of SMIL presentations out of a database via JDBC.
A. Server-side integration via vendor published API.
B. You can include client hyperlinks that point to a URL for a SMIL presentation. Users with G2, Soja or GRINS installed can view the presentation after downloading it.
C. You can add a hyperlink to a servlet, which generates a dynamic list of SMIL files in the file system. The SMIL presentations are located on a Web server which also has the SOJA Applet installed.
Evaluation of
Candidate Solutions:
A. Client-side API:
1. Adding SMIL presentations requires entry of the location into a database. That means we have to create and maintain a database and database front-end application. (Not to mention, front end application users.)
2. Adding SMIL documents could require no technical knowledge if we made the database front end easy enough to use.
3. We never have to shut down the graphical chat server to add, update or delete SMIL presentations.
4. Our client becomes a little larger. We could write a batch program which puts the java client code in the plugins/startup folder. However, this approach is platform-specific and we would need to rewrite the batch file for the Mac if we decide to deploy on it.
5. SMIL documents require no modification.
6. The user can quickly access SMIL presentation.
Overall: This is a decent solution, but work intensive and client-heavy. It also requires the availability of a client API, which is not available for the onchat software.
B. Server-side API: Due to the lack of documentation available from onchat.com, this option is not recommended.
C. Multiple SMIL hyperlinks:
1. Adding SMIL presentations is easy: you just have to add hyperlinks to the within the client rooms:
2. This solution adds hyperlinks to the client, and requires the user to download G2, GRINS, SOJA or any other SMIL player.
3. The SMIL document may require modification by the user when he downloads it. The three SMIL viewers have different levels of support for SMIL. For instance, SOJA will not play .wav files, so if a user downloads a SMIL presentation with a .wav file in it, she will have to go into the code and remove the <audio> tag in order for her SOJA player to play the file. It is clearly better for such administrative tasks to be done on the server side one time instead of multiple times on the client by potentially less skilled people.
4. User access of SMIL presentations is relatively easy – presentations should open right away after being downloaded.
Overall: This solution requires too much administration and Server down time.
D. Single hyperlink to servlet list:
1. Adding SMIL presentations is as easy as porting them once to the Web server.
2. We have to make hyperlink entries similar to the one discussed in C.
3. Room owners are responsible for adding servlet hyperlinks to their rooms.
4. This is a thin client solution. Users do not even need the SMIL player because we can install SOJA on the Web server. Moreover, we can test the presentations in SOJA before deploying them: So, we know that the SMIL viewer is compliant with the presentations and we know exactly how the SMIL presentations will appear in the viewer. As we have learned from the IE/Netscape browser wars, it is much easier if you do not have to think about browser idiosyncrasies.
5. The SMIL presentations will require little rework. Even more important, the people doing the rework will be the ones who know how to code SMIL, the presentation creators.
6. SMIL presentations are relatively easy for users to access. They just have to click the hyperlink in the chat room and then choose the presentation they want to view.
Overall: Choice 'D' is the best option because it requires very little maintenance and is thin client.
Solution Choice and Implementation:
Assuming choice D is selected.
Approach 1:
Step 1: Install Apache and Jrun on Windows '98.
Step 2: Install SOJA on the server, in a subdirectory under Apache's htdocs directory.
Step 3: Include a hyperlink to a servlet in your own chat room. This servlet (located in the servlets directory of Jrun) is supposed to dynamically query another directory under htdocs for .html files and return a menu of hyperlinks to these files.
The user would simply click the room hyperlink while in a graphical chat room and then click one of the menu items from the pop-up browser which displays the servlet's results. The menu item the user clicks will navigate her browser to a .html file that contains a SOJA applet tag that points to a SMIL presentation.
This solution should work on UNIX, but does not work on Windows '98 because
Java's Runtime.exec() method does not seem to return buffered data on Windows
'98. There does not seem to be any information regarding this issue on
Javasoft's site to no avail.
Approach 2:
Modify the previous solution architecture by replacing the servlet with a RegistryCreator.class. The user runs this program at the command line and it generates a SMIL presentation that contains the menu of hyperlinks. The drawback of this approach is that the user needs to rerun this program every time she wants to add a SMIL presentation to the archive. The program also deletes the existing registry.smil file and the links it contains before replacing it. This could potentially cause some OS level file sharing problems. The program would have to be run when users were not accessing the system. This increases the amount of time you have to wait to publish a new presentation.

HISTORY OF KANE COUNTY. 625 were there many wild-cats of any kind. Occasionally a Canadian lynx was found. None of the water-courses bore indication of the presence of beaver at any time, but now and then an otter was taken. These animals were observed upon the river as late as in the '50s. Muskrats were very numerous, and their houses may still be occasionally seen along the water-courses. Minks, weasels and skunks seem appurtenant to civilization, and are about as numerous and about as destructive of domestic fowls now as they ever were. A large gray gopher and innumerable little striped gophers were found in the country, and are still here, each quite destructive of the newly planted grain. There were, and still are, plenty of chipmunks, also of fox-squirrels, and a few black and gray squirrels in the woods. Wood-chucks and house-rats and mice came with civilization, but moles and field-mice were here when the first settlers came. The soil had never been turned by the plow and their snug burrows thus destroyed, and the collective broods of all sorts, varieties and species of creeping, crawling, jumping creatures that find shelter on and under the surface of the earth, had multiplied and increased without measure, and incredible numbers of insects-some very beautiful and others exceedingly repulsive- swarmed on every side during the whole warm season. Many varieties of small, innocuous snakes were found in great abundance-the common milk-snake, water-snake, striped (or "garter") and green snakes being most numerous. Scores of the mottled water-snakes could be seen on any quiet bright summer day about the log, brush and dirt dams at the saw-mills, sunning themselves in the warm light, and slipping quickly arid silently out of sight upon the approach of an intruder. There were at least a dozen varieties of harmless snakes that, in the early days, abounded in great numbers. The rattlesnakes, called by the Indians "Massasau-gas," were also very numerous. The children at play in the door-yard found them, and the men in the fields pitched them upon the loads in the bundles of grain and forkfuls of hay. They were a very poisonous reptile and, unless their bite were quickly attended to, it was liable to result seriously. To man, or to the faithful dog, it might prove fatal. Horses and cattle avoided it with terror; yet upon them its virus rarely, if ever, produced death. Hogs manifested no fear of it whatever, and sought it for food. The hog utterly indifferent to its strike, would greedily seize it with his teeth, put his front feet upon it, and tear it to pieces and devour it. A courageous dog would sometimes seize one near its head and shake its life out so quickly as to escape its fangs; but usually he received a venomous stroke that seemed to produce intense agony for several days, yet rarely proved fatal. The massasauga was a dull, slow-moving, stupid creature, apparently incapable of fear. It had but two quick movements. Its dull filmy eyes seemed nearly blind, and its motions purposeless and clumsy; but, upon the slightest disturbance, it slid into a coil-its head at the center and raised two or three inches above the ground-its rattle-equipped tail on the outer periphery of the coil, sounded its warning with a quivering movement so rapid as to be almost invisible. Upon near attack it struck with widely extended jaws in a quick strong action of the head, projecting its stroke about one-third the length of its body, and it was not rapid in recovering its position for another stroke. These reptiles were usually equipped with three to eight rattles, yet occasionally one was killed having fifteen or more "buttons",-even up to twenty. Each rattle or button was said to represent a year of life, and, as we never killed one having less than three, the young fellows must have kept closely concealed. It was held a religious duty to destroy every rattler that was discovered, and the duty has been so fully observed that they are now practically extinct. The resourcefulness of the children in the early times is illustrated by the story of the barefoot boy of ten years, who, while riding bareback on a big horse, discovered one of those venomous reptiles upon the prairie where there was neither a stick nor a stone, or clod of earth in sight. Yet he hears the rattle and must kill the snake. Without a moment's hesitation he slides from the horse's back, pulls off the bridle, and, holding the animal with one hand by the "foretop," he swings the bridle and brings the iron bit with crushing force upon the reptile, again and again, until it is dead. Some of the boys would handle the striped and the little green snakes as pets, carrying them in their pockets. They were really as harmless as grasshoppers. Many tales were told in the pioneer times of "vipers," "adders," "Moccasins," and "blow snakes," as venomous reptiles

Volleyball ACCtion: Friday, November 23
Nov. 23, 2007 Terps Have Memorable Senior Day, Defeat Georgia Tech in Five Games COLLEGE PARK, Md. - The Terrapins picked a good day to play arguably its best volleyball of the season. Senior outside hitters Beth Gillming (Cincinnati, Ohio) and Jade Brown (Atlanta, Ga.)combined for 34 kills and their teammates backed them up, ousting the visiting Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets in five games on Senior Day. The Terps (18-13, 10-12) won by scores of 23-30, 30-25, 30-19, 29-31, 15-9 against a Yellow Jackets team that came in red hot, winning 11 of their previous 12 matches. Georgia Tech (22-10, 16-6) entered the match with hopes of making the NCAA Tournament. However, Maryland's victory might have ended those dreams. Perhaps due to the emotional pre-game ceremonies for Gillming and Brown, the Terps started slow in game No. 1. The Yellow Jackets grabbed a 10-3 lead and held off a Terp rally that cut the lead to two to take the game. Game two went back and forth most of the way. With the game tied at 22 apiece, however, the Terps embarked on a game-clinching 10-3 run, highlighted by three Brown kills.
CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. - Danielle Hepburn and the Clemson volleyball team concluded their 2007 regular season on Friday afternoon with a 3-0 (30-16, 30-24, 30-23) sweep at Boston College. The Tigers, 28-3 overall and 21-1 in the ACC, will now await their draw in the NCAA Tournament. Clemson clinched the ACC title and an automatic bid on Wednesday with a victory over Maryland. The selection show will air at 8:00 pm on Sunday night on ESPNU, with first and second round action being held on campus sites next weekend. "This was a good weekend for us, winning the ACC title outright on Wednesday night and being able to finish against a good defensive team in Boston College on the road today," Tiger Head Coach Jolene Jordan Hoover said. Friday's win was Clemson's 20th sweep of the season and its 11th victory on the opponents' home court. The 11 road wins rank second in program history, while the 20 three-game victories tie for third-most all-time.
BLACKSBURG, Va. - Senior Ali Hausfeld served up 49 assists to break Duke's single-season assist record and lead the 24th-ranked Blue Devil volleyball team to a 3-0 (30-23, 30-23, 30-28) win over Virginia Tech in their season finale Friday afternoon. With 1,594 assists in 2007, Hausfeld, a 6-0 senior setter and a three-time AVCA All-America Honorable Mention selection, broke her previous record of 1,590 set during her sophomore campaign in 2005. Already Duke's all-time assists leader, Hausfeld now holds the first, second and fourth-best single-season assist marks in school history. The 2006 ACC Player of the Year currently ranks among the top-three in the nation in assists per game and recently became only the fifth player in the history of the ACC to top 6,000 career assists.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - The Seminole volleyball team wraps up the regular season with an impressive back-to-back sweep over NC State on Wednesday night and North Carolina this afternoon. The garnet and gold dominated the Tar Heels 3-0 (30-17, 30-23, 30-17) inside Tully Gymnasium on senior day. Florida State closes out the year with a 16-14 overall record and 13-9 in the Atlantic Coast Conference. That record moves FSU to finish fourth in the ACC. "At one point this year our team was 6-11, 3-6 in the conference," head coach Todd Kress said. "They had just come off a heartbreaking loss at Boston College in five. There are a lot of teams that would have packed it in after a match like that and figured it just wasn't their year. But this team showed so much resilience, pride, determination and will that I'm more proud of this team down the stretch than any team I've ever coached."
CORAL GABLES, Fla. - The University of Miami volleyball team closed out its 2007 season on a strong note, defeating N.C. State, 3-0, Friday on Senior Day at the Knight Sports Complex to end the season with two convincing wins at home after also shutting out North Carolina on Wednesday. "I am pleased that the seniors were able to finish with a week like this," head coach Nicole Lantagne Welch said. "I thought we had two really good back-to-back performances." Seniors Michelle Bruin and Ciara Michel each had big days in their final match at UM with Bruin recording 14 digs, her third-highest mark of the season, and Michel recording nine kills and three block assists. "They both contributed significantly today," Lantagne Welch said. "They have done so much for us over the past four years and it's always hard to say goodbye. It has been a special time with them in the four years they have been a part of our program."
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. - The Virginia volleyball team (18-13, 13-9 ACC) ended the 2007 season with a 3-2 win over Wake Forest Friday at Memorial Gymnasium. The match was the final in Orange and Blue for UVa fourth-years Melissa Caldwell, Sarah Kirkwood, Katie Oakes and Taylor Russo. Game scores were 30-23, 35-30, 30-26, 25-30 and 15-12. "They have definitely left their mark in the record book," head coach Melissa Aldrich Shelton said of the seniors. "Three of them have some of the highest accolades you can have but all four have been huge contributors to our success." Kirkwood led the Cavalier offense with a match-best 28 kills in her final match. The All-American Lawn resident also tallied 21 digs in the winning effort. Classmate Katie Oakes finished with 16 kills, including the final one of the night to give Virginia match point. Oakes, also an All-America selection, also pitched in five blocks.

Apple colours iPod Nano pink
One for the ladies?
If your outfit doesn't yet match any of the colours the iPod Nano 8GB currently comes in, then maybe the player's new hue will tug your heart strings.
Apple's pink iPod Nano: perfect for Valentine's Day?
Yes, Valentine's Day is fast approaching, and the Nano now comes in pink. Actually, the Product(Red) charity version is more suitably coloured, but at least addled male buyers now have a choice.
The pink edition player expands Apple's range of Nano colour options to six shades, which already includes silver, black, blue, green and, as we just mentioned, red.
But, if you're more technically minded, then you'll be disappointed, because the pink Nano doesn't add anything. So, you'll still get a 2in display, Apple's CoverFlow feature for flipping through album covers, H.264 video support and up to 24 hours of battery life.
Apple's pink edition iPod Nano 8GB is available now for £130 (€160/$260).
And the votes are in...
...it's officially "a bit chav" according to my significant other, who normally likes pink things (being female and all)
So there you go, Product (Red) still the one to go for fellas, as you're doing your bit for the world too.
This latest Apple offering is cynically designed by Satan's representative on Earth (Steve Jobs) to:
1 Entice young males into becoming homosexual
2 Entice young women to become lesbian
3 Steal money by making me pay £130 whereas I can get a player which
does everything the Nano can do plus make phone calls and make
coffee for 38p down the market
4 Make me become an Apple Fanboi
5 Make my sister become an Apple Fangurl
(I just wanted to post this first before the El Reg Celebrity Dancing Trolls get in to do the Anti-Apple Fandango)
Pink! I just love it, dahlink!

As Latinos are projected to make up nearly nine percent of the electorate in November—a 26 percent increase over the 2008 figure, according to NALEO—the buzz around the power of the Latino vote is warranted.
There is the notion that the Latino vote will boil down to a lesser-of-two-evils choice between an incumbent who supposedly hasn't kept his immigration-related campaign promises or a candidate representing a party whose talk of electric fences and self-deportation has alienated many voters. This isn't just simplistic, it's insulting!

talking to a friend while googling the canada map, and i realized just how big that place is!!! it's like at least 3x as big as the US - the northern boundary of our alaska isn't even halfway north into canadian territories - which stretch to the arctic! and they have oil fields that are 2nd only to the mideast - and once they figure out how to tap/ leverage that resource - playtime is over. every time i learn something new about canada, i think it's even cooler. ha!

You live in Maryland. That's not that far away from Canada. How can you be so oblivious to a country that is so close to you? This post is pretty embarrassing.

just so you know, that map is a mercator projection which distorts the size of landmasses near the poles - you probably remember that from Earth Science or geography. canada is big, but not nearly as big as the map you posted! check out wikipedia for a better map.

what i always find really crazy is that despite how big canada is - our population is something like 33 million. which is quite small when you consider that's the population of like...the state of california! i think the us population is like 300 million. a lot of our population lives close to the border though - the land in the north is pretty harsh conditions and from what i've learned/heard pretty uninhabitable(sp).

Guest Submission by Steve Kukral
Tea Partiers across the country worked hard to elect Republicans to put a restraining order on Obama and the Democrats' out of control spending, unrestrained rule making and sweet heart deals to political friends and donors. How has that worked out for us?
*Spending is still going up. The House (1/2 of 1/3 of the government) failed to control spending during the continuing resolution fight, the debt ceiling fight, and now, in the super committee fight. In fact, their plan is to RAISE TAXES! We elected them to cut spending, not raise taxes!
*Regulation is still out of control–witness EPA and ObamaCare regulations alone.
*Crony capitalism and individual corruption are both alive and well.
So I think we'd have to conclude that electing the Republicans has not altered the trajectory of the country toward fiscal armageddon at all.
Finally, this self same party of the status quo is preparing to foist Mitt Romney on us as the party nominee for president. Or if, as many at C4P feel, we're "lucky," Newt Gingrich. Do either of these retreads excite anybody in the Tea Party? And I don't know if people are "excited" about Newt so much as finding him an acceptable "Not Romney" who they think can beat Obama. But if either Newt or Mitt is the nominee, how many of you are going to open your wallets and give up time to man phone banks, canvass neighborhoods, stuff envelopes, etc.? I'll pull the lever for either one, but that's about it because I no longer have any faith in the Republican Party to do what's best for the country. I've been a Republican since I could first vote over 40 years ago, so this is not an easy position to come to.
I believe the time has come for a third party. No, not now, not before the 2012 election is over–we still have to try to get Obama out. But on November 7, 2012, we should officially stand up a third party, dedicated to fiscal responsibility, constitutionally limited federal government, and free market capitalism. What have we got to lose? The current parties are both too corrupt and too out of touch to any longer represent we the people: the Democrats are what they are–the party of OWS; and the Republicans have become the Whigs of today. The time to lay the foundations for that party is now. Sarah would be perfect to lead this new party. Comments??

Medical debt seems to be an increasing concern among many nowadays. In a recovering economy where a number of people suffered greatly financially, medical expenses could be the kiss of death for a number of families and individuals alike. For those who have unexpected medical conditions occur, the cost of medical procedures could potentially put someone in a difficult position, financially. Health insurance is usually commiserated with employment-therefore,, unemployed Indiana residents may find it financially unfeasible to obtain health insurance or to appropriately handle any kind of medical debt that might come their way.
The African-American community seems to be one of the hardest hit by medical debt. Unemployment as well as other factors plays into this statistic. In addition to credit card and college loan debt, medical debt may be one of the most common causes of filing for bankruptcy.
