Spring 2008 Issue
A Classical Christmas
Magnificat in C by Johann Christian Bach and Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 23 were among the works featured at BU's annual Christmas celebration. Although the Twenty-third Concerto is famed for its graceful melodies and elegant structure, it was not published during Mozart's lifetime. Mozart himself withheld the piece from publication. In a letter to his father, he cites it as being amongst "the compositions that I keep for myself or for a small circle of music-lovers and connoisseurs, who promise not to let them out of their hands."
The concert featured Barry's Dr. Martin Camacho, accompanied by the Civic Chorale of Greater Miami, the Barry University Ensemble, and the South Beach Chamber Ensemble orchestra.

Wealthy homeowners are increasingly asking their houses to earn their keep.
Lenders say a growing number of luxury homeowners are turning to a prerecession tactic of withdrawing equity from their homes. And just like during the housing bubble, many of these affluent borrowers aren't using this cash to renovate their homes. Instead, they're pumping it into investments, including the stock market, other real-estate purchases or even using the money to purchase art, which they expect will generate large returns going forward. In other cases, they're choosing to use this cash to pay for their children's college tuition or other expenses that they'd otherwise finance with higher-interest debt.
Experts say the increase in cash-out refinancing comes at an opportune time: Interest rates remain near historic lows and the U.S. stock market is at record highs. Rates on 30-year fixed private jumbo mortgages—which start after $417,000 in most parts of the country and exceed $625,500 in pricey metro areas—average 4.02% as of the week ending March 22. That's down from 4.70% a year prior and 5.49% two years ago, according to mortgage info website HSH.com. Rates on the 15-year fixed private jumbo average 3.30%, compared with 3.95% and 3.96%, respectively.
Low rates have paved the way for some borrowers to use their home equity as leverage. Rather than keeping cash locked in their home—banks say most cash-out refi borrowers have significant equity in their home or they own it outright—they're choosing to put it to work elsewhere. Someone who owns a $2 million home outright could withdraw up to $1.6 million. (Most lenders require at least 20% equity to be left in the home after the cash-out refi.)
Separately, by refinancing to a significantly lower interest rate, some borrowers can end up with a lower monthly payment than they were previously paying despite ending up with a bigger loan. For instance, a homeowner who was paying a 5.46% rate (the average rate two years ago) on a $1 million, 30-year fixed mortgage would have monthly payments of roughly $5,652. If that borrower refinanced to a 4.07% rate in today's market and took out a mortgage of $1.15 million, the monthly payment would be about $5,537.
While the number of private jumbo borrowers pursuing cash out refinancing is small, experts say it's on the rise. Just over 61,000 of these borrowers did a cash-out refi during the 12 months ending early February, up 7% from the same period ending a year prior, according to data compiled for The Wall Street Journal by SMR Research, a mortgage-research firm in Hackettstown, N.J.
Large lenders cite even bigger increases. So far this quarter, Bank of America says close to 20% of all refinancings among its private jumbo borrowers involve cashing out compared with about 10% a year prior. TD Bank, which operates on the East Coast, says several thousand private jumbo borrowers signed up for a cash-out refi last year, citing a 50% increase from 2011. Citi Private Bank says more of its affluent private jumbo borrowers have been requesting cash out refinancing since last year.
There could be more demand to come. Depending on where interest rates head, "we could see an increase in this type of activity," says Brad Blackwell, portfolio business manager of Wells Fargo's home-mortgage unit.
Also working in homeowners' favor are home valuations. As luxury home prices rise in many markets, some homeowners are finding they have more equity to tap in a withdrawal. Separately, some lenders say most of the requests for cash-out refis are coming from regions, such as the Northeast, where luxury homes retained or recouped most of their value since the housing downturn.
Still, homeowners should consider the risks that accompany this strategy before proceeding. If they withdraw too much equity from their home and home prices end up falling, that could leave them in a position where they owe more on the loan than the property is worth. Here are other points to keep in mind.
- The home's appraisal: Some lenders will order two appraisals of luxury homes to make sure they've received an appropriate valuation before agreeing to a cash-out refinance. This also lessens homeowners' chances of borrowing too much from their home to their detriment.
- Loan-to-value requirements: Most lenders won't allow borrowers to pursue a cash-out refi that leaves them with less than 20% to 30% equity in their home.
- Qualifying for a cash-out: Just as with purchasing a home, borrowers will need to provide income and asset documentation and have a high credit score to get approved for a cash-out refi.

Man accused of illegally selling $80K in Wilderness NC lumber
Man accused of illegally selling $80K in Wilderness NC lumber
A man has been arrested on suspicion of illegally selling $80,000 worth of lumber while employed at a lumber company.
Ricky Edward Cross, 49, of Denton, was arrested following an incident involving Wilderness NC on New Cut Road in Lexington.
Davidson County deputies allege Cross sold the company's lumber and received payment from those sales for over a year. Deputies began investigating the incident Jan. 15.
Cross' charges include 44 counts each of larceny by employee and obtaining property by false pretenses.
Cross turned himself in to High Point police Monday. He was given a $10,000 secured bond pending an April 24 court appearance.

On any given construction project, multiple parties work together toward common goals — to complete the job on time, on budget, and without any accidents or injuries. From the engineer to the general contractor to numerous subcontractors, individual participants in the overall project must have a detailed road map before embarking on their journeys. Serving a number of different purposes, the drawings prepared by engineering firms and distributed to key players provide a means for effective project navigation.
During the design phase, these drawings go through any number of alterations, helping the client to determine the most efficient installation plan. Next, they become the basis for the bid packages that are submitted by subcontractors, including electrical contractors. After the project is awarded, the drawings form the basis of the contract between the selected subcontractor and the client. At this point, all drawings must feature sufficient detail to assure the client and engineering firm that the project will be installed to all standards and codes — and that no questions will arise during the installation process.
As every construction project is unique, so are the working drawings. However, that doesn't mean subcontractors should adopt a "get-what-you-get" mentality for fear of losing a bid or appearing nit picky. As the electrical contractor, if you're not getting the essential information you need in these drawings, demand something better by asking for clarification on any gray areas. To help contractors know what to look for, following is a discussion of how engineers should prepare proper working drawings, including what should be incorporated on a typical electrical project.
Drawing list, key plan, and plant drawing
A good-quality drawing list should have a complete list of drawing numbers, titles, and current revision. When the engineering firm issues a revision to a drawing, it can issue the list again and update the drawing list sheet and the affected drawings. This drawing would typically contain a company logo, project title, and client's name.
Most plants are large enough that a key plan is needed to show where the work will be performed. If there is room on the index sheet, this is a good place to show this information. It is also beneficial to have an overall dimensioned plant drawing, showing how to get to the work area. Major landmarks in the plant should be shown and identified. Many times, this brings up discussions on proximity to high-voltage lines or pipelines, permits required, and the logistics of getting the equipment into the room or the plant.
General notes and legend
If there are a large number of drawings — and specific items that apply to all the drawings — it's a good idea to have a drawing that includes general notes, a legend, and symbols. Typical details can also go on this drawing. If the drawing package is small, this information can be placed on individual drawings.
Notes in any drawing package should always be brief. If it takes more than a couple of sentences to convey the requirement, the designer should consider re-wording or making a detail that will make his point more easily understood. New work on drawings is usually shown with a heavy line type to make it stand out. Various other line types are used to delineate the scope of work, such as the wiring to be done by a vendor or hidden lines to show underground conduit. Of course, schematics are shown symbolically. Equipment not dimensioned on the drawings is shown diagrammatically with other symbols.
One-line diagrams
The purpose of the one-line diagram is to show all of the electrical equipment items, protective devices, and switches on the system. Each piece of equipment should be shown with its appropriate rating (i.e., motors in horsepower, heating loads in kilowatts, transformers in kilo-volt-amperes, and capacitors in kilo-vars). You should be able to add up all connected load on the power system from the single-line diagram.
The one-line should also contain information about the protective devices (i.e., fuses, relays, and circuit breakers with their frame sizes and trip settings). Relay settings are usually not placed on the one-line, but should be referenced on the drawings as to where to find this information. A qualified engineer should have been involved to make sure all equipment has the proper short-circuit ratings — and that the system is adequately coordinated as per 110.9 and 110.10 of the NEC.
Information such as starter sizes, transformer impedances, transformer connection type, current transformers, and their corresponding ratios, bus ratings, and short-circuit bracing should also be shown. If the cable sizes and cable numbers are not shown elsewhere, it's good to show this on the one-line diagram.
In addition, it's important to give concise names to all the equipment and switches and a brief location. Equipment and switches should be marked in the field with identical names as those shown on the one-line diagram. This assures compliance with 110.22 of the NEC. The control of these devices is shown on schematics and should not be included on the one-line diagram.
Panel schedules
Like the one-line diagram, panel schedules are essential for showing all of the small electrical equipment in the system. The panel schedule drawings should contain a tally that shows the expected amount of volt-ampere usage for each circuit and the overall expected connected load for each phase on the panel. This will assure the designer, client, and electrical contractor that the load is evenly distributed between the phases, and that the panel is balanced. The panel schedules should also show the size, type, and number of poles of each circuit breaker or fuse.
Area classification drawings
If the new installation will reside in, or the cables route through, any electrically classified area, this drawing must be provided as well. Refer to NFPA 497 for recommended practices when dealing with gases and NFPA 499 for combustible dusts. For consistency, the area classification drawings should be drawn similar to the various examples shown in those standards. Documentation of an electrically classified area is required per 500.4(A) of the NEC.
Equipment schedules
When specifying any piece of electrical equipment that the installing contractor will have to purchase, the designer should include enough information that the catalog number given for the equipment can be reproduced, or an alternate item can be obtained. Equipment schedule drawings are generally included on large electrical projects with many different types of lighting, receptacles, or special pieces of electrical equipment. On smaller projects, or those with limited amounts of differing pieces of equipment, this information is typically placed on other drawings.
Motor control schematics
Typical schematics can be used, but it's generally better to prepare one schematic per motor. The schematic should be shown in a standard ladder-type arrangement and illustrate how the motor control circuit works. It should also correspond to the complete installation in the field, showing all internal components, including control transformers, control devices, pilot lights, protective devices, terminals with numbers, cable numbers, and any color coding of the cables.
Plan drawings
Plan drawings should contain a general arrangement of the new installation, showing adequate detail so that an accurate material takeoff can be made for the project.
Electrical equipment that requires working space per the NEC (110.26 or 110.32) should be fully dimensioned on the drawings. Reference dimensions should be shown on all plan drawings, such as between columns in a building.
All plan drawings must be drawn to scale. The scale used on the drawings should correspond to one of the standard scales found on an architect's or engineer's scale (¼ inch = 1 foot or 1 inch = 10 feet, for example). Because nowadays drawings can easily be reproduced on any size sheet, the drawing should include an actual physical scale, such as those shown on any road map. It should also include a north arrow.
The source and destination of every cable shown on the one-line or cable schedule should appear on a plan drawing. In general, routing of the cables are shown as home runs on this drawing, unless there is a reason it must go a certain route — then it would be shown in its entirety. The wiring method to be used must be called out on the drawing (i.e., cable tray, conduit, on a pole line, underground, etc.). Conduit corridors and cable tray elevations should be noted. Grade elevation should also be noted on all plan drawings, and the corresponding benchmark location noted.
Boundaries of the electrically classified areas should be shown to indicate where seal-offs are required [501.15(A)(4) or 501.15BB)(2) of the NEC].
Other plan drawings might include: grounding, lighting, instrumentation, cable tray, communications systems. Sometimes a designer might combine the different types of drawings onto a single drawing.
Details and other drawings
Although qualified electricians know how to install most pieces of commonly used electrical equipment, the engineer must provide details where the client has a specific preference or where unusual equipment or seldom-used wiring methods are required. Another case is when critical dimensions must be adhered to, such as installing embedded duct or equipment foundations. Wiring details of junction boxes and all other electrical devices are generally included or excluded, depending on the client preference.
It is not a good idea for an engineering firm to redraw vendor drawings that will have no or little potential for revision, such as a control scheme on the incoming main of a piece of switchgear.
Conduit and cable information
It should be the designer's responsibility to properly size the conduit and wire to every electrical load or control circuit. The designer should also specify all the cable types and assign a cable number to all cables. This information can be found on the drawings.
An alternative is the designer issues a separate cable schedule or list. If the cable schedule is done on a spreadsheet or database, it has the advantage of being sorted by cable type, area, load or other field, depending on how it is set up. However, this does create another document that has to be cross-referenced.
Either way, the information should be given only once on a set of drawings.
Scope of work
In addition to the drawings, a brief scope of work document should accompany the drawing set when it is issued. The scope should help tie all the drawings and intent of the project together and never repeat specific information shown on the drawings.
Because all projects differ in complexity and scope, detailed drawings should be issued for most electrical projects. If you're not getting this type of documentation on the projects you're working on, maybe it's time to push back a little bit on the electrical designer and demand a quality set of working drawings the first time around.

HIV, Ignorance and Bigotry Take Center Stage During Iowa State Senate Race
September 10, 2010
What began as an HIV awareness campaign in Iowa has turned into a nasty public argument featuring a gay state senator, his Republican opponent and a conservative radio host.
Dave Leach, a Republican candidate for Iowa's state senate, spoke out earlier this summer against his opponent, openly gay incumbent Democrat Matt McCoy, for being part of an HIV awareness campaign earlier this year, reports The Des Moines Register. In the commercial and billboard campaign, McCoy (who is reportedly HIV negative) says, "HIV won't stop me from shaking hands with my constituents." The campaign was created by the Iowa HIV Alliance, a group dedicated to lessening HIV-related stigma.
Leach claimed McCoy's message was confusing and said that he falls out of his chair every time he sees it. When asked if it mattered if McCoy were HIV positive, Leach told the Register, "'I wouldn't say that is [sic] a man is disqualified from serving in the Legislature because he has a disease,' but 'homosexuality ought to be restrained by law.'"
And even though it is common knowledge that HIV cannot be transmitted through casual contact, Leach said he was appalled that McCoy has no issue transmitting the disease to others by shaking their hands. "I've talked to others who also perceived that," he said.
The ads, which debuted this past February, have been seen on two local television stations. They also feature other local figures, including Bankers Trust CEO Suku Radia, Des Moines Mayor Frank Cownie, the Rev. Mark Stringer, Des Moines Register columnist Rekha Basu, retired businessman David Hurd, and a number of people who are living with HIV.
When asked if he is living with HIV, McCoy said that he would not confirm or deny -- for a reason. "We don't care if people think we do or don't. The point is we're just about destigmatizing this disease, and ultimately creating conversation and awareness about it."
It's somewhat unclear as to why Leach decided to bring this issue to light now. If his aim was to make it a central issue in the state senate campaign, then he appears to have succeeded: While HIV and senate races may seem like strange bedfellows, this issue has played a role in the campaign thus far -- as has homophobia. On Leach's campaign Web site, he refers to McCoy as a "marriage-diluting sodomite."
And then there were the controversial comments that popular conservative radio host Jan Mickelson made about gay men and HIV/AIDS in August. The Iowa Independent wrote:
Mickelson said on the air that AIDS discriminates against people who engage in "stupid behavior," and since homosexuality is a "sexual disorder" that violates natural law, it "isn't rocket science" to conclude AIDS discriminates against homosexuals. The statement drew immediate outrage from LGBT-rights organizations One Iowa and the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD), who demanded WHO-AM's parent company -- Clear Channel Communications Inc. -- rebuke the host.
To address this issue, McCoy told The Des Moines Register on Sept. 1 that he is planning to organize a boycott against any companies that advertise on Mickelson's show. His first target is the same company that sold him the car that he drives: Toyota of Des Moines. He said, "I think Toyota of Des Moines is a perfectly fine dealership. I just think they shouldn't have a chief bigot as their spokesperson."
To address Leach's current comments about the anti-stigma ad, Iowa HIV Alliance issued a press release. In it, Rhea Van Brocklin, the organization's chairperson, stated:
The purpose of the campaign is to raise awareness about the impact of HIV/AIDS stigma and to inspire communities and individuals to increase their knowledge and decrease their misconceptions about HIV/AIDS. Comments recently made on the radio and on the internet only helped to strengthen the Alliance's cause, as those comments showed great misinformation about HIV and the vilification attached to how some people become infected. The Alliance applauds the efforts of community members like our campaign spokespersons and others who take on the charge of starting the conversation about this important issue. Negative feedback given by opponents of the campaign actually helps open the door to having those discussions.
Election Day is Tuesday, Nov. 2.

Ryan Dalziel returns to Indianapolis Motor Speedway with a new team and new type of car, racing in a new series on a new course layout.
But he has the same goal as last year – winning the Brickyard Grand Prix.
"Kissing the bricks is a lot nicer tasting than you might think," said Dalziel, who won the 2013 race with Starworks Motorsport in a BMW-powered Daytona Prototype co-driven by Alex Popow. "Hopefully we will get the Tequila Patrón cars up front and kiss the bricks again."
Dalziel now drives an LM P2 Prototype in the premier class of the TUDOR United SportsCar Championship, sharing the Extreme Speed Motorsports No. 1 Tequila Patrón HPD ARX-03b/Honda with Scott Sharp.
"It's a different layout, different car, different competition this year," Dalziel said. "For sure, the past couple of years I raced there with Starworks in GRAND-AM and we always had a competitive package."
While he has plenty of DP experience on the former 2.534-mile layout, Dalziel recently tested with ESM on the new 2.435-mile configuration.
"We had a great test at Indianapolis with ESM, and we feel we'll have a good car there," he said. "The new layout is very different, and the improvements are all good."
Dalziel and Sharp are currently seventh in the Prototype standings. Their best finish this year was a close second in the Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring Fueled by Fresh From Florida, and they took fifth at Detroit Belle Isle. Their teammates – Ed Brown and Johannes van Overbeek – are sixth in the points, winning at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca in the No. 2 Tequila Patrón HPD ARX-03b/Honda.
While he's raced at Indianapolis in a DP, Dalziel's LM P2 experience includes winning the FIA World Endurance Championship in the LM P2 class for Starworks in 2012, including class victories in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Sebring and Brazil.
Now, he's looking forward to repeating last year's result, despite of all the changes at the Brickyard.
"Indianapolis is one of the biggest tracks in the world, like Daytona and Sebring," Dalziel said. "You look forward to coming here and driving under the tunnel. It's always breath-taking, seeing how impressive this place is."

Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi has long been known for his flamboyant fashion and rambling rhetoric. But as opposition forces have taken control of much of Libya, Gadhafi's public appearances have gotten increasingly aggressive and bizarre.
Last week he delivered a nearly hour long speech, replete with fist pounding and threats to clean Libya inch by inch, street by street.
Now a hip-hop remix of the speech has gone viral on the Internet and has become a sort of anthem of the Libyan opposition. And if that alone doesn't sting Gadhafi, here's another twist: The DJ who made the song is from Libya's arch enemy, Israel.
But the video is no Mossad spy operation. It's the brain-child of 31 year old musician Noy Alooshe.
"This is amazing. I am number 10 most viewed musicians in the world. And number one in Israel. It's amazing," Alooshe said.
It was all premeditated. When Egyptians started taking to the streets, Alooshe would sit on his couch in his small Tel Aviv apartment and watch for good clips he could turn into hip-hop mashups.
He watched Mubarak's televised speeches, but thought they were too monotone. Then Gadhafi gave a quick speech from under an enormous umbrella: Good visuals, but not much else. And then, on the evening news last Tuesday, Alooshe watched Gadhafi's fiery balcony speech.
"I will call upon millions from desert to desert," threatened Gadhafi. "We will march to purge Libya inch by inch, house by house, alley by alley."
Lady Gaga from the Arab world
Alooshe saw the speech, transfixed. "And it was like, before the mixing, it was funny and looks like a parody," he said. "When he (Gadhafi) raises his hand like he is at a party, and his clothes look like Lady Gaga from the Arab world."
The Lady Gaga of the Arab world not for his violence towards Libyan protestors, Alooshe said, but for his over the top clothing and his theatrics.
"It was like a dance track," Alooshe said. "When I first listened to it, zanga zanga, der der, like someone put a tempo and Gadhafi said, zenga zenga. 'Okay, it's funny in the first place,' I thought. 'Let's make it more funny. And let's make it something that people can dance or sing to.'"
And so Zenga Zenga — literally "alley by alley" — was born.
Alooshe mixed the speech with the beat from Hey Baby, the hit song by American hip hop artists Pitbull and T-Pain. He uploaded two versions of the video – one without go-go dancers, for conservative Muslim viewers – and sent the link to Arab websites, including Al-Jazeera's Facebook page and the Twitter feed of a Libyan youth movement.
Within hours, he says, it was all over the Arab world. Even the official Facebook page of the Libyan opposition reposted the clip.
'Zenga Zenga' goes viral
All together, Alooshe said about a million viewers have seen it. Not all of them have been happy about it. There have been vigorous debates: "the artist is Israeli," much of the chatter says, "is it ok to like his video?"
"When some from Arab world found out I am Jewish, some wrote really bad stuff. Death to Jews, death to Israel. But after that I got a lot of good comments," Alooshe said. "I'm from Egypt, you're from Israel. I don't like you, but I like remix.' Someone from Saudi wrote me, 'even though I'm a Muslim and you're a Jew, I really like your mix, and I hope world will be free and there will be peace'"
Now that he's an Internet sensation, Alooshe's number one piece of advice to aspiring DJs who want to fuel a national revolution on the internet: don't wait.
"If you are not the first person to do this stuff, you are gonna lose the game," said Alooshe. "It was like, with Gaddafi, I've gotta mix it right now. I am not going out for a beer with my friends; I am sitting at computer and doing it and uploading it. I was first."
Alooshe has been spending the last few days granting interview after interview to Israeli and international media. He's sold the remix to a company that produces cell phone ringtones in Israel.
The young DJ said Gadhafi is obviously a bad guy who has to go — but as an artist, he's indebted to the dictator for providing great material.

(Reuters) - Demand Media reported on Tuesday better-than-expected first quarter revenue and profit on growth at its media websites like eHow, Livestrong and Cracked.
Demand Media makes its money in two ways. In its media business, freelance writers, photographers and videographers provide articles and videos designed to appear at the top of Internet search that in turn generate advertising. The other is a registrar business that maintains top level generic web domain names like ".actor" and ".social."
In February, Demand Media announced it was separating those businesses and spinning out the registrar division.
"We are making steady progress, clearly there is a lot of work ahead of us," Demand Media Chief Financial Officer Mel Tang said in an interview on Tuesday in reference to the spin-off scheduled to be completed by next February.
Demand is branching out into other areas to diversify its business model including paid content. For example it acquired for less than $10 million the subscription-based Creativebug, a website dedicated to help people interested in arts and crafts.
First quarter revenue rose 17 percent to $100.6 million, beating analysts' average expectation for $95.3 million, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S. Stripping out traffic acquisition costs, revenue rose 15 percent to $95.2 million.
The company slightly narrowed its full year total revenue forecast to a range of $436 million to $442 million from a range of $435 million to $443 million.
The company said first quarter net income rose to $700,000 or 1 cent per share, compared with a loss of $1.8 million or 2 cents per share in the same period a year ago.
Adjusted for items including stock-based compensation, earnings per share were 9 cents versus 7 cents in the same period a year ago. Analysts were expecting 8 cents.

A judge has declined to throw out a murder case against a man charged decades after an infamous 1979 child disappearance in New York City.
The ruling came Wednesday in the case against Pedro Hernandez of Maple Shade, N.J.
He was charged last year with killing 6-year-old Etan Patz. Etan was last seen walking to his school bus stop in Manhattan.
Etan became one of the first vanished children to be pictured on a milk carton.
Hernandez's attorney asked a judge to dismiss the case. The lawyer, Harvey Fishbein, says Hernandez is mentally ill and his confession to investigators was false.
The Manhattan district attorney's office said there was enough evidence to sustain the charges. Prosecutors say they don't believe Hernandez's confession is the product of mental illness.

May, 23, 1943 ~ May 13, 2018
Joy Hawkins, passed away on Sunday, May 13, 2018, at her new home, Maple Springs, in Brigham City, Utah. She was a long-time resident of Ron Clair in Ogden, Utah. She was a 3rd Ward member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Joy was a retired employee of the IRS.
Joy and David Eugene Hawkins were married on February 21, 1964. They solemnized their commitment to one another in the Ogden LDS Temple on November 19, 1977.
Joy met "Damn it Dave" while cruisin'^on the Boulevard. Joy and Dave raised five beautiful, wonderful girls, she lovingly called "you little shits" (except for Amber, she was "little asshole"), Mary Angela, Dawn, April, Shelly, and Amber.
Joy was born May 23, 1943, in Ogden, Utah. Her parents gave her an excellent namesake which she took to heart. Actually, Joy took everything to heart. Wrangling her girls and grandkids, making sure she knew each one was happy and safe, Joy had no reluctance insisting on knowing "what's going on?!" If the answer was sorrow, she would try her hardest to make everything better. If the answer was happiness, she was elated.
Joy was a beacon, radiating compassion and love to her neighbors, friends and anyone she met. Her home was often filled with her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, foster children, neighbor children, and friends all thriving on her strength, kind-heartedness and tenderness. Like a magnet, Joy's compelling heart drew people to her. She cared for the sick, comforted the sad, encouraged the bewildered, and boasted the achieved. Joy gave whatever she could to make everyone's life just a little bit better. Joy made the Hawkins house the home to come to for comfort and love.
Everyone could feel the altruism Joy shared throughout the entirety of her life. Selfless and self-sacrificing, Joy held the torch which lit so many lives, conjured so many smiles, generated so many laughs, and warmed so many souls. Her grand smile, contagious laugh, and bawling cries at the drop of a hat, will be ever sorely missed. Her heart and memories of her kindness will always be cherished.
Joy surrounded herself with family, friends and knick-knacks. Flowers were a must, petunias everywhere. Holidays were all important to her but the most celebrated was Christmas. Joy loved Christmas. The time of giving, the time of Love. She liked Santa Claus more than Dave. She also had other men in her life. Conway Twitty, Alan Jackson, Billy Thunder Cloud, and Elvis made her eyes perk, pray for rain and ask for binoculars. She still has the Styrofoam cup with slobber directly from Conway Twitty's lips. If anything went wrong, she blamed it on Godfrey.
Joy was a techie. To keep up with her girls and grandkids, she kept tabs on Facebook and texting, as well as daily conversations on her smartphone. Do you still have one of her "life" request on Candy Crush? Butt dials were no problem because she just picked up on the conversation like she meant to do that. Joy also spent countless hours behind a computer researching her family history and genealogy.
You little shit, you died on Mother's Day!
Joy is directly survived by her husband, David Eugene Hawkins; her daughters: Angie (Cathy Pommier) Hawkins, Dawn (Randy) Hays, April (Brian) Nye, Shelly (Leroy Mackay) Eddy, and Amber (Jason Workman) Perea; and sisters, Colleen (Vern) Schriock and Fawn (Rob Porter) Bennett. Joy and Dave have 18 grandchildren and 20 great-grandchildren. Still living at home are Maggie Mae and Pip.
Joy was preceded in death by her parents, Violet Orem and Robert Mason Palmer; brother and sister, Rod (Pam) Palmer and Ranae (Leon) Buck; granddaughter, Lily Perea; son-in-law, Rick Eddy and Jager. Joy has many close and dear relatives that will remember her and many which preceded her whom she held dear.
Encompass Home Health and Hospice enabled mom to fight her ailments these past few years. Thank you, thank you to Laura and Tammy for everything you have done and giving us this extra time to enjoy our mom. Also, thank you to the staff and new friends at Maple Springs who welcomed our mom to a new home.
Funeral services will be held on Friday, May 18, 2018, at 11 a.m., at Lindquist's Ogden Mortuary, 3408 Washington Blvd. Friends may visit with family on Thursday from 6 to 8 p.m., and Friday, from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m., at the mortuary. Interment, Lindquist's Memorial Gardens of the Wasatch, 1718 Combe Rd.

Here's a quick rundown of the celebrities
TV co-stars, athletes and a guy who skydived from 19 miles high will be among the celebrities and official guests attending the 66th N.C. Azalea Festival in Wilmington next week.
Festival officials announced the celebrity lineup Wednesday morning in the Azalea Festival office at 5725 Oleander Drive. The visiting stars "reflect the values the festival represents," said President Donna Cameron.
Among those coming:
Col. Joseph Kittinger, a retired Air Force colonel and balloonist. On Aug. 16, 1960, as part of Project Excelsior, Kittinger jumped from a balloon 102,800 feet above the Earth, reaching speeds of up to 614 miles per hour before opening his parachute at 18,000 feet.
Kittinger's records in that jump stood for more than 50 years, until Austrian skydiver Felix Baumgartner broke them during a balloon jump on Oct. 14, 2012. During that event, the 84-year-old Kittinger served as Baumgartner's capsule communicator.
A veteran of the Korean War and a Vietnam-era POW, Kittinger earned two Silver Stars, two Bronze Stars, two Purple Hearts and multiple Air Medals. After retiring from the military in 1978, he completed the first solo crossing of the Atlantic Ocean by balloon in 1984.
"He's a real American hero," said Steve Coble, the festival's president-elect.
Emily Maynard, who appeared on ABC's "The Bachelor" and "The Bachelorette." A former fiancee of the late NASCAR driver Ricky Hendrick, the Charlotte-based Maynard now does travel podcasts for the Speed Channel and promotes her own jewelry line while raising her 7-year-old daughter, Ricki.
Alexa Alemanni, who co-starred as Don Draper's secretary Allison on AMC's Emmy Award-winning series "Mad Men." The Vassar graduate, who speaks fluent Italian, has also appeared on TV's "The West Wing" and "Criminal Minds."
Peyton List, who plays Emma Rose on The Disney Channel series "Jessie." A Florida native who'll celebrate her 15th birthday on Saturday, List has also appeared in the feature films "The Sorcerer's Apprentice," "Remember Me" and "27 Dresses" as well as in two "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" movies. List will be on hand April 13, signing autographs in the children's section of the Azalea Festival Street Fair at The Cotton Exchange.
Chris Corchiani, who played basketball for N.C. State University under coach Jim Valvano. Corchiani was part of the 1987 Wolfpack team that won the ACC Tournament in an upset. He and teammate Rodney Monroe were nicknamed "Fire and Ice." Corchiani went on to play professionally for the Orlando Magic and the Boston Celtics, as well as in Europe.
Championship surfer Ben Bourgeois. A surfer since age 3, Bourgeois won the junior division of the ISA World Games. Going pro, he earned a gold medal at the 2003 X Games and came in first in the Nike Lowers Pro.
Win McMurry, an on-air host and journalist for NBC Universal's Golf Channel.
Both Bourgeois and McMurry are locals, Coble noted. Bourgeois has lived at Wrightsville Beach since 1986, and McMurry is a New Hanover High School graduate and a former Azalea belle.
Also coming to the Azalea Festival is Miss North Carolina 2012, Arlie Honeycutt of Garner.
Gov. Pat McCrory of North Carolina will act as Azalea Festival Parade marshal.
Coble said the best time to see Azalea celebrities will be at the Queen's Coronation, 3 p.m. April 10 at Riverfront Park, and at the parade, April 13 in downtown Wilmington.

Yoof survey: 'Internet as vital as air'
Students and yuppies rate web as essential
A third of college students and young professionals feel that the internet is as important as air, food, water or shelter, according to a new survey.
Cisco's 2011 Connected World Technology Report (PDF) found that 32 per cent thought the web was as important as the necessities of life, while over half of students and 62 per cent of employees in their 20s said they couldn't live without it.
The global report looks at the next generation of the workforce and how they are going to perform in a connected workplace. The study concluded that:
Students and young professionals share similar perceptions on the importance of the internet. For most, accessing the internet through their computer is their primary information and news source and an integral part of their daily life.
In fact, the internet is so important to the 'yoof', it can prove a distraction. The need to check Facebook, answer an IM or phone call or go on some other social media is so strong that 43 per cent of students worldwide said they were distracted three or more times an hour when they were supposed to be doing their homework.
British, Australian and Canadian students were the most easily engrossed, with nine in 10 students leaving the books for the siren call of social media once an hour.
The survey also found that eight in 10 students check their Facebook at least once a day and 73 per cent of young employees do the same.
"The results of the Cisco Connected World Technology Report should make businesses re-examine how they need to evolve in order to attract talent and shape their business models," Marie Hattar, VP of enterprise marketing at Cisco, said in a canned statement on the results.
The study took an online survey of 1,441 college students and 1,412 employees under the age of 30 in 14 countries. ®

Johnny Depp will play Tonto when the Disney version of "The Lone Ranger" finally gallops into theaters, but don't expect him to be a typical second-saddle sidekick.
Director Gore Verbinski — who has made four films with Depp — said he's interested in a sly, somewhat subversive version of the classic Old West adventure that presents the "faithful Indian companion" as the wry central voice of the story.
"The only version of 'The Lone Ranger' I'm interested in doing is 'Don Quixote' told from Sancho Panza's point of view," Verbinski said Tuesday. "And hence I was honest early on with Johnny that Tonto is the part. We're not going to do it [straight], everyone knows that story. I don't want to tell that story."
I visited Verbinski's office on the Universal lot to talk about "Rango," the animated film that arrives on March 4 with Depp in the title role and surrounded by a dream team of character actors (Bill Nighy, Ray Winstone, Ned Beatty, Alfred Molina, Harry Dean Stanton, Isla Fisher, Stephen Root, Timothy Olyphant and Abigail Breslin), and you'll see a lot more about that ambitious project here at Hero Complex in the weeks to come. But I also had to ask the "Pirates of the Caribbean" director about his still-forming plans for the Lone Ranger, a hero that dates back to the 1933 radio adventures that galloped out of the imagination of Fran Striker.
Instead of Striker, though, Verbinski cited Cervantes and seemed eager to put Depp into a character that (like Jack Sparrow) is good in a fight but also a bit slippery compared to some of the boy-scout personalities around him. The 46-year-old director explained: "I want the version from the untrustworthy narrator who might be a little crazy — but somehow the question is, is he crazy or is the world crazy? That, I find fascinating."
Disney and producer Jerry Bruckheimer have been talking about a Lone Ranger feature film for years and announced in 2008 that Depp would be on board. The project has been slow to the screen, though, with Depp's dense schedule and the emphasis by the studio, producer and star on their massively successful "Pirates" franchise, which has pulled in $2.68 billion in worldwide box office with three films and has a fourth scheduled for release this summer. [FOR THE RECORD: An earlier version of this post misstated the franchise box office total.]
"Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides," which opens May 20, marks the handoff of the maritime adventure franchise to director Rob Marshall ("Chicago"). Verbinski was officially announced as the director on "The Lone Ranger" in late November.
In Verbinski's office, one high shelf behind his desk has a solitary book on it — a hardcover history of the Texas Rangers. He's in promotion mode now for "Rango" — he'll be in Europe for events this weekend — but "The Lone Ranger" is moving up on his list of time priorities.
"It's just at the primordial stage," Verbinski said. "We're working on the screenplay but if we can pull that off — find that story I want to tell — then it will be worth doing."
I asked Verbinski if he had ever seen the classic Lone Ranger gag from "The Far Side," the loopy single-panel cartoon by Gary Larson. He shook his head, so I explained that it showed an elderly, retired Lone Ranger looking up the English translation "kemosabe" and making the unpleasant discovery that it means "horse's rear end." Verbinski chuckled. "Well, that's kind of the world we want to be in. It's an odd couple, the two of them together. Getting that tone right is going to be a blast."

THE MARKETING year (June 1 through May 31) wheat price trend is normally established in late August and early September. It is during this time period that the market gets a handle on the potential size and quality of the foreign wheat crop.
The U.S. winter wheat crop averages about 8 percent of the world's wheat crop and the total U.S. wheat crop averages about 11 percent. Thus, it is mostly foreign wheat that determines the wheat price trend.
Over the next month, the European (EU-15) and Canadian wheat crops have the highest odds of impacting wheat prices. Wheat production in the EU-15 is projected to be 3.86 billion bushels compared to a five-year average of 3.52 billion bushels.
The EU-15 normally produces the second largest wheat crop, with China producing the largest. China's wheat production is projected to be 3.75 billion bushels, over 100 million less than the EU-15 crop.
This year, rain during EU-15's harvest resulted in sprout damage and below-average test weight. Some market analysts project that 40 percent of the 2000 French wheat crop is good milling quality, 30 percent is of questionable milling quality and 30 percent is feed wheat. Even though the EU-15 is producing a record crop, exports of milling quality wheat may be limited.
Canada's wheat harvest started in late August. Weather related production problems might have reduced the amount of milling quality wheat available for export. Some analysts project that Canada's wheat exports will be lower than last year. The problem with this projection is that the harvest has just started and the size and quality will be known only after the wheat is in the bin.
Relatively tight foreign wheat stocks have resulted in the market also watching U.S. winter wheat planting and growing conditions in Argentina and Australia. The market normally does not watch these crops until after the foreign wheat crop is harvested.
Winter wheat producers in the Great Plains normally start planting in late August and early September. Hot, dry weather has delayed planting.
There are also minor concerns about Australia's wheat crop. Market analysts are watching daily weather patterns in both Argentina and Australia.
As one analyst said, "wheat prices are going up, the market just doesn't know it yet." I admit that the stage is set for higher prices. All that is needed to establish an up-trend is for Argentina and/or Australia's wheat crop to be below average. Canada and Europe's wheat situations make Argentina and Australia's crops more important.
Market prices may not react as fast with continued hot and dry weather in the Great Plains as with lower Argentine or Australian production expectations. But poor planting conditions would help wheat prices.
Key prices to watch are the Kansas City Board of Trade and the Chicago Board of Trade December contract prices. If the KCBT December contract price closes above $3 for two consecutive days, the contract price should increase to $3.20. Two continuous closes above $3.20 will indicate that the up-trend should continue to $3.40.
If the CBT December contract has two consecutive closes above $2.70, the price should increase to $2.90. Two consecutive closes above $2.90 will indicate the price trend will continue to $3.10.
Foreign wheat stocks and quality will have a major impact on the nearby wheat price trend. A record U.S. corn harvest may temper wheat price increases over the next few weeks.
In the near term, wheat prices do not have much downside pressure and may move sideways in a 20 cent pattern. Storing wheat for later sale has about a5.5 cent per bushel per month risk.

By Scott Malone
BOSTON (Reuters) - Two former Boston drug dealers on Friday described how James "Whitey" Bulger controlled the narcotics trade in his neighborhood, wrapping up the fifth week of the former mob boss's murder and racketeering trial with testimony about threats and shootings.
Bulger, accused of murdering or ordering the killing of 19 people in the 1970s and 1980s while he ran South Boston's feared "Winter Hill" gang, demanded payment from drug dealers and imposed rules on their business, the witnesses said.
Anthony Attardo, 55, told jurors he had been dealing cocaine in South Boston for six years when members of Bulger's gang approached him in 1985, asking him to buy cocaine from them. When he refused, they demanded $100,000 in tribute, he said.
Attardo, a former boxer, said he tried to deceive Bulger, saying he had gotten out of the drug trade.
"He said, 'Don't lie to me. The money's so good the only time you're going to quit is when you go to jail,' Attardo recalled. "And he was right about that."
Not wanting to pay the feared mobster, Attardo tried to avoid him, until his 17-year-old brother was shot.
"Mr. Bulger said to me, 'You're next if I don't get my money.' And I said, 'I'll meet you down at the liquor store,'" Attardo said. "I grew up in Southie all my life. Everybody knew his reputation. Very dangerous, he meant what he said."
Bulger, who faces the possibility of life in prison if convicted on charges that include racketeering and drug dealing, has pleaded not guilty. His lead attorney, J.W. Carney of the Boston law firm Carney & Bassil, admitted in opening statements that Bulger was an extortionist, loan shark and drug dealer and earlier this week described Bulger as an "organized criminal."
Another former drug dealer who worked the neighborhood, said Bulger had imposed rules on the trade.
Paul Moore, 63, who testified against Bulger in the 1990s and then went into the witness protection program, said he sold marijuana and cocaine under the protection of the "Winter Hill" gang but that other drugs were forbidden.
"You never sold drugs to children, did you?" defense attorney Carney asked Moore, who replied, "You'd get hurt if you did anything like that."
While Bulger's gang accepted thousands of dollars a week in tribute for his sales of cocaine and marijuana, Moore said the gang prohibited him from selling heroin and "angel dust," a form of marijuana laced with other drugs believed more dangerous.
Bulger fled Boston after a 1994 tip from corrupt FBI agent John Connolly. He evaded arrest for 16 years before the FBI caught up with him when he was hiding in an apartment in Santa Monica, California.
After Bulger fled the city, Attardo said he tried to take a page from the Winter Hill playbook when a friend told him that people who he believed to be drug dealers from the Dominican Republic were selling drugs in the neighborhood.
"I decided with him that maybe we should pull a Whitey Bulger and extort them," Attardo said.
As it turned out, the so-called drug dealers were undercover police officers.
"So that didn't work out to well for you?" Assistant U.S. Attorney Zachary Hafer asked Attardo.
"No, it did not," replied Attardo, who was later sentenced to 9-1/2 years in prison for drug offenses.

Packers 8-0, defense could give Vikes a chance
GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Going into Monday night's game against the Minnesota Vikings, the feeling is becoming familiar for the Green Bay Packers: Another week, another win, another uneasy feeling about the state of the defense.
The reigning Super Bowl champions are the NFL's only undefeated team at 8-0 and have won a franchise-record 14 straight games going back to last season, including playoffs. It has been so long since the Packers actually lost a game that defensive players now seem to be stewing about substandard performances in victories the same way they might after a loss.
That certainly was the case after the Packers' Oct. 23 victory at Minnesota, where Green Bay allowed rookie quarterback Christian Ponder to play with poise in his first career start and gave up 175 yards to Adrian Peterson.
"Last time, we didn't feel like we played as good as we could have played in Minnesota," defensive lineman Ryan Pickett said. "We feel like we could have put it away, and then we kind of let them back in the game. 'AP' rushed for 175 yards. We felt sick after we even won that game. So this is a good opportunity for us to right our wrongs."
Going into the second game between the two division rivals in less than a month, the Packers are giving up 299.6 yards passing per game this season, second-most in the NFL behind New England. They nearly coughed up a 21-point lead in the fourth quarter of last Sunday's win at San Diego.
The Packers remain dominant on offense behind Aaron Rodgers. And while their defense does lead the NFL with 16 interceptions and has been good enough to win all eight games so far, the porous nature of their pass defense means they can't take anybody for granted.
"If you look at it, it's kind of good," Pickett said. "We're feeling sick and we're 8-0. We definitely know we've got a lot of room to grow, and we know we're going to get there. Especially as a defensive unit, we have segments of great games, but we have yet to put a complete game, the way we want to play, out there. We know it's coming, and we're going to just keep fighting til we get there."
Ponder helped Minnesota beat Carolina two weeks ago for his first career win — the Vikings had a bye last week — and he sees no reason why the Vikings can't make it a game Monday night.
"That's kind of what their defense is, bend but don't break," Ponder said. "They've given up some yards but not a lot of scoring. Obviously my two mistakes I had last game, you've got to be careful with the ball but capitalize with the opportunities we're given. I think as the offense if we do things right we can be pretty good."
And Ponder says he can play better than he did in his first career start.
"The biggest thing is we kept it close, which should give us the confidence that we can hang in with those guys," Ponder said. "Completion percent around 40 percent's not good. Two turnovers isn't good. So, there's a lot to fix there. But still, with a 40 percent completion rating with two interceptions and we still had the ability to win the game, I think that's a good sign."
Vikings coach Leslie Frazier has no concerns about Ponder's poise going into a prime-time road game.
"To come out there in your first start against the defending Super Bowl champions and play as well as he play and to make some of the plays that he made in the fourth quarter, just gives you the idea that he can handle adverse situations, he can handle being on the road and playing well like he did against Carolina," Frazier said. "I don't foresee him being in a situation on Monday Night where you go, 'Oh, this is not a good situation for Christian.' I just don't foresee that."
The Packers still will be most worried about stopping Peterson, who says the Vikings are comfortable with Ponder at quarterback.
"I really think the sky's the limit for him with what he has shown in the past two weeks before the bye," Peterson said. "I feel like we can do some really good things. We just can't keep doing things that hurt us. Offensively, defensively, make sure we're eliminating some penalties and make sure we take advantage of the opportunities that present (themselves)."
Peterson is plenty impressed with Rodgers, who threw for 335 yards and three touchdowns with an 80 percent completion rate on Oct. 23.
"I feel like he's the best quarterback in the league," Peterson said. "I've always like Rodgers, even before he blew up. I could see the potential in him, just how he played, the attitude he played with. His passion shows. So it's not really surprising to me."
The Vikings' defense will welcome back cornerback Antoine Winfield, who is set to return to the starting lineup after missing the last four games because of a neck injury. Defensive end Jared Allen leads the NFL with 12 1/2 sacks and Rodgers was sacked four times by San Diego, some of which were the result of good downfield coverage.
Still, stopping Rodgers will be a tough test for the Vikings. Linebacker E.J. Henderson made it sound like he'd rather be facing Brett Favre.
"He's pretty hot right now," Henderson said of Rodgers. "Even Brett in his (heyday) when we used to play the Packers he was still good for a couple three interceptions here and there. I definitely think he's playing at a high level, we all know that, we know what a challenge it's going to be for us Monday to come out and slow him down but we're looking forward to it."

In addition to frozen animals obtained from Siberia, a large number of fossils preserved in amber has also been discovered in Russia. These come from what's known as Baltic amber, found in a wide area from Berlin in the west to the Ural mountains in the East. The great majority of Baltic amber dates from the Eocene Period (54 to 37 million years ago).
A large part of this amber lies in the Samland region, currently within the borders of Russia, and is found at an average depth of 25 meters (82 feet) to 40 meters (131 feet) beneath the surface. The stratum containing the amber is known as "blue earth." Each 1000 kilograms (2204 pounds) of soil contains approximately 1 kilogram (2.2 pound)of amber, and only one part in every few hundred contains an inclusion.
The color of the amber, its formation and certain other physical characteristics vary, according to the period when it was formed and the type of tree it came from. The oldest known amber specimens date from the Carboniferous Period (354 to 290 million years ago). Amber from this period is most frequently found in the U.S. and Great Britain.
In order for inclusions to appear inside amber, two very important and consecutive processes take place once the living thing has been trapped in the resin. The first is hardening, due to cold or dryness. The second is the decay of the tissues of the creature trapped inside the resin. Fluids released during the course of this decay process assume a special structure by mixing with the resin fluid. The creature's body is preserved inside a bubbly structure just like a balloon. In order for resin to transform into amber, it must go through a great many chemical and geological stages.
For scientists, inclusions in amber represent a major sphere of activity. Specimens of many living things get trapped at the moment of carrying food back to the nest, in a state of defense, trying to camouflage themselves, attempting to protect their young or releasing chemical substances to neutralize aggressors. And all these specimens represent proof that the characteristics possessed by living things have remained unchanged over millions of years-in other words, that no such process as evolution ever took place.

Ohio Appeals Court Backs Husted In Voter ID Dispute
A federal appeals court is backing Ohio's elections chief in a dispute over who should record voter ID on certain provisional ballots.
The ruling by the 6th U.S. Court of Appeals Friday puts on hold a lower court's order that Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted issue a new directive from his office regarding the ballots.
At issue is whether voters or poll workers should record the form of ID used on provisional ballots, such as military ID or a utility bill, when voters don't bring proper ID.
Husted complained that a judge's ruling created new rules after the election but before ballots are counted.
The appeals court agreed, saying that changing rules for counting votes after they were cast compromises an interest in fair and orderly elections.

"We worked closely with Dan to nail the recipe and we're stoked with the result. This beer was brewed to be crushable enough to reach for another – without taking you out of the game before halftime, and that's just where we landed."
Seattle, Washington (PRWEB) January 28, 2013
Redhook Brewery, in partnership with sports broadcasting icon Dan Patrick, announced today that they will introduce their newest beer, Audible Ale, with a special event featuring Dan before Super Bowl XLVII in New Orleans between the San Francisco 49ers and Baltimore Ravens.
Redhook and Dan Patrick teamed up with the goal of brewing the ultimate craft beer for watching sports. Official craft beer of The Dan Patrick Show, Redhook began working on the beer with Dan and his in-studio team, The Danettes, earlier this year when they visited Redhook's Portsmouth, NH brewery. From the very beginning, the beer has been a collaboration, with Dan and The Danettes giving input on everything from the beer recipe to the design of the packaging and tap handle. Check out the unveiling of the Audible tap handle on The Dan Patrick Show here.
Mild amber in color, Audible Ale is brewed for crushability with lots of flavor. A light to medium body and modest Cascade hop aroma give the beer overall balance, with a clean finish that makes you want to reach for another. Audible Ale weighs in at ABV 4.7% and IBU 22.
"We worked closely with Dan to nail the recipe and we're stoked with the result. This beer was brewed to be crushable enough to reach for another – without taking you out of the game before halftime, and that's just where we landed." says Redhook's Director of Brewing, Matt Licklider.
Dan Patrick is equally excited. "Marconi award? So what? Sports Emmy? So what? Sportscaster of the Year? So what? I have my own freaking beer and a tap handle that's a microphone. Ball game!"
In addition to Audible Ale, Redhook announced they will be unveiling the Redhook Ultimate Mobile ManCave, which contains all the essentials a sports lover needs for game day, including a Coby 39" High-Definition Television, perfect for the ultimate sports lover to watch the big game, a Nostalgia Electrics kegerator, one-year supply of Field Trip Beef Jerky, one year subscriptions to Sports Illustrated and Playboy, tons of Redhook swag and more. Redhook fans will have many opportunities to win the Redhook Ultimate Mobile ManCave through a series of events to be listed on Redhook's website and social media channels.
About Redhook
Redhook was born out of the energy and spirit of the early 80's in the heart of Seattle. While the term didn't exist at the time, Redhook became one of America's first "craft" breweries. From a modest start in a former transmission shop in the Seattle neighborhood of Ballard, to the current breweries in Woodinville, WA and Portsmouth, NH, Redhook has become one of America's most recognized craft breweries. While Redhook has "grown up" during the past 30 years, one thing has never changed – Redhook is still brewing great beers like ESB, Long Hammer IPA, and seasonal brews. Most importantly, Redhook has fun doing it. Redhook beers are available both on draught and in bottles around the country. For more information, visit http://www.redhook.com.

What would Jane Jacobs think about the High Line? How can you re-create the success of the High Line in other places around the world? How does the High Line benefit New York City?
These questions and more were discussed by Robert Hammond, executive director and co-founder of Friends of the High Line; Malcolm Gladwell, author of The Tipping Point and staff writer at The New Yorker; Jerilyn Perine, executive director of the Citizens Housing and Planning Council; and John Mollenkopf, director of the Center for Urban Research, at the CUNY Graduate Center on December 10, 2010 as part of "Public Programs for the Public Mind" lecture series.
The group had plenty to say about the High Line, but perhaps our favorite comment came from Malcolm Gladwell, who said, "The point of the High Line, to me, is that it is an invitation to further action, it is a big, splashy symbol of all kinds of things that can be done in an urban environment. To think of it as a one-off is, to my mind, is to lose the value of it. It is a demonstration to all of us about what can be accomplished."
In case you missed it, you can now watch the video online.
