Outside groups shop airtime in S.C. special - High court won't hear campaign finance challenge - McKenna Long & Aldridge gets new health policy director
Presented by REALTOR®
With Tarini Parti
FIRST IN PI ... OUTSIDE GROUPS SHOPPING FOR AIRTIME IN SOUTH CAROLINA SPECIAL: According to a reliable media-buying source, three conservative outside groups are looking to buy airtime in South Carolina's first congressional district special election. The election was triggered by former GOP Rep. Tim Scott's promotion to the Senate. The Coastal Conservative Fund, the Conservative Selection Fund and the Palmetto Conservative Fund are all requesting rates to place media buys on behalf of GOP candidates in the crowded primary.
Story Continued Below
A South Carolina political website reported that the Palmetto Conservative Fund will support state Sen. Larry Grooms — though the group's treasurer Dave Wilson tells PI that his super PAC has not decided on a candidate to support. PI hears that the other two groups — one super PAC and one group which has not yet filed any paperwork with the FEC or IRS — will likely make ad buys on behalf of Curtis Bostic and Teddy Turner. The primary is scheduled for March 19.
HIGH COURT WON'T HEAR CAMPAIGN FINANCE CHALLENGE: Via SCOTUSBlog ( http://bit.ly/13asnip), the Supreme Court on Monday declined to hear a case challenging the ban on direct corporate contributions to candidates. Lawyers for the plaintiff in Danielczyk v. U.S. argued that because of the landmark 2010 Citizens United case, the long-standing ban on direct corporate contributions to candidates should end. Citizens United opened the door for corporations and unions to make unlimited contributions to outside groups, but did not address direct contributions to candidates. The decision not to review the case leaves the corporate contribution ban — which dates to 1907 — in place. The Supreme Court did agree to review a separate case last week challenging aggregate biannual limits on individual donations to candidates and PACs.
GOOD MONDAY AFTERNOON, where it's been 80 years since the launch of the first aircraft carrier. Though other ships had been retrofitted to launch and recover aircrafts, the USS Ranger was the first ship designed and built entirely for that purpose. The ship was launched on Feb. 25, 1933. The ship was decommissioned in 1946. Send your lobbying and campaign finance news, gossip, tips, scoops and weekend recaps to firstname.lastname@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com.

On the ace, arbitration and awards
Blue Jays general manager Alex Anthopoulos met with us local scribes this afternoon for a laid-back lunch and a wide-ranging Q&A session.
The first thing on everyone's mind was obviously this morning's report that Roy Halladay wants a decision to be made with respect to his future before he reports to Spring Training. If he's not traded this winter, he will block any in-season trades with the plan of testing free agency next winter.
"One thing is certain — once Roy reports to Spring Training as a member of the Blue Jays, from that point forward he will not approve or even discuss any potential trade scenario," Jeff Berry, one of Halladay's representatives, told ESPN.com on Tuesday.
"This will eliminate a repeat of the distracting media frenzy of 2009 for both Roy and his teammates, and will allow Roy to focus on pitching at the exceptional level Jays fans have come to expect."
Asked about the report, Anthopoulos said: "Obviously, I'll look into it. If there's something that Halladay's agent said, I'll certainly touch base. I just want to hear it for myself and talk to him."
That would make it seem as though Anthopoulos had not heard about the deadline, but he said all talks between him and the pitcher will remain in-houst. Anthopoulos said he simply hadn't seen the report in question and he wanted to talk to Doc's agent before commenting on anything that was reported.
What we know is that Halladay was not a fan of the media circus that was last July, when former GM J.P. Ricciardi hardly kept a lid on all the trade negotiations. Halladay wants to win soon, and he's not against being dealt to a select group of teams, but he does not want to put up with in-season rumors.
With a full no-trade clause, he has the power to block trades during the year and walk away as a free agent next winter. If the Jays want more than two Draft picks for Halladay, they'll have to find a taker this offseason. My money is still on this coming down to the Yankees and Red Sox.
ARBITRATION: The Blue Jays have extended one-year arbitration offers to free agents Marco Scutaro and Rod Barajas. Toronto will welcome either or both players back for 2010, but expect them to decline the offers in favor of multi-year contracts. In that likely scenario, the Jays will gain three extra picks in the 2010 Draft, two for Scutaro and one for Barajas. They have until the end of the day on Monday to either accept or decline the offers.
REPLACEMENTS: If Scutaro accepts, Anthopoulos said he would have playing time in the outfield. Scoot would prefer to stick with shortstop or second base. Toronto will be looking for outfield help this winter, and Anthopoulos said the Jays have not discussed and don't plan on discussing moving Vernon Wells out of center field. Behind the plate, Anthopoulos is still looking at free agents, but plans on letting the market play out some. He's also identified some possible non-tender candidates to target and has his "toes in the water" on some trades. He said it's hard to say right now which direction he's most likely to head in search of a starting catcher. Anthopoulos also noted that he's always looking for rotation and bullpen help.
AWARDS: The Toronto chapter of the BBWAA has announced its 2009 Blue Jays award winners. Roy Halladay was named the Pitcher of the Year, Aaron Hill the Player of the Year, Ricky Romero the Rookie of the Year and Adam Lind the Most Improved Player. Hill also received the John Cerutti/Good Guy Award.

Notice in the first photo the last name is spelled "Shubert" and in the second it is spelled "Shubart". Mornan died first in the year 1878, so my theory is that Henry had her tombstone engraved with the correct spelling of their name; then when he died in the year 1915, his step-children or Nancy, his second wife, had it engraved incorrectly. It might have been an error by the maker of the monument or the family, but I feel that Mornan's tombstone was correct since Henry was still alive.
Here are extra pictures of the tombstones with others in the background, all taken on what appears to be a dreary, Fall day in Tennessee. Notice the stones in the following 3 pictures seem to have been cleaned with something in order to read them. Some of the detail found in the first 2 photographs seems to have been inadvertently removed.

Henry Shubert's tombstone and in the background on the far right is

I cannot read the name on the other small marker on the left.
This seond photo of Mornan's tombstone with Jacob's and Dialta's baby infant's marker behind it marks Marnan's location as being buried beside and to the right of her husband, Henry.
This is a cropped view of Jacob's and Dialtha's infant child with tombstone of Sallie Shubert behind it. A post and better photograph of Sallie's tombstone can be found at my post "A Jovial Company."
They say that when Sarah Jane (Sallie) got sick, her husband, John Henry Shubert, took her on a boat to a doctor. He, however, was unable to help her. When she became unable to even take care of herself; he took her to the Reynold's home near
where they cared for her until she died. She is buried along side Mitch and Mornan Shubert at Kingston Durham cemetery near Midway School in . Notes from Ray Allen Shubert. Roane County

Most organizations, according to SANS, are using security event data to detect and track suspicious behavior, support forensic analysis, and gaining or proving regulatory requirements. But complicating these security goals is the growing number and sophistication of attacks. As the perennial arms-race between security and hackers continues, McAfee has the leverage enterprises need to keep their data secure, and help them to identify attacks and vulnerabilities in an ocean of data. According to SANS, McAfee's ESM strength is derived from its ease of use, speed, and its flexibility in setting rules and correlations.

This a fantastic departure from the typical burgers and brats we often turn to when grilling out. It is easy to prepare, the ingredients are simple, and being that the main course contains giant shrimp... it is special, too. The entire menu can be prepared ahead of time, then put on the grill all at the same time (5 minutes!) before dinner. For the entire Easy Summer Grilling menu, click here!
The Easy Summer Grilling Menu :
Tomato & Fresh Mozzarella Bruschetta
Herb Marinated Grilled Jumbo Shrimp
Grilled Asparagus
Grilled Corn on the Cob
Grilled Peaches with Ice Cream
For the all of the recipes from the Easy Summer Grilling menu, click here
Herb Marinated Shrimp
serves 3-4 (I like to serve 3 to 4 shrimp per person)
1 lemon, juiced
1/4 cup of fresh basil, chopped
4 cloves of garlic, minced
2 tablespoons of dijon
1 teaspoon of dry mustard
1 teaspoon of sea salt
1 teaspoon of pepper
1/2 cup of olive oil
1 1/2 pound of jumbo shrimp (these are 8 per pound)
Mix together the lemon juice, basil, garlic, dijon, mustard, salt and pepper.
Add in olive oil.
Whisk together.
Add peeled shrimp. Marinate for an hour or more (if you have time). Drizzle the corn and asparagus with olive oil, salt and pepper just before grilling.
Put the shrimp on first, followed by the corn and asparagus. Turn the shrimp, corn and asparagus after 3 minutes.
Take the asparagus off first, then the corn, and finally the shrimp.
Dinner, laptop style.

Renewable Energy: Powered by the sea, harnessed by Nautricity
The forces generated by the gravitational attraction of the moon and the sun's movements relative to the earth produce strong marine tidal flows. These tidal flows are locally concentrated by landmasses creating 'hotspots' with strong tidal currents. These marine currents represent a vast renewable energy resource.
Nautricity aims to meet the challenge of harvesting this resource to provide commercially competitive electricity while having a positive impact on our environment.
Nautricity's second generation tidal device, the CoRMaT contra-rotating tidal generator has been designed from first principles to meet this challenge. CoRMaT has successfully completed its proof of concept testing and has generated electricity at sea. The device is now being deployed at full commercial scale.
Nautricity now offers commercial scale CoRMaT devices suitable for a wide range of project sizes, and is seeking and investigating opportunities to develop commercial tidal generation.
Nautricity's wholly owned subsidiary, Argyll Tidal, has secured a marine lease covering a tidal 'hot spot' off The Mull of Kintyre, in the West of Scotland. Environmental studies and detailed engineering planning are under way, together with the construction of an electrical link to the UK grid. First power from the site is targetted for 2015.
Our CoRMaT device can be seen in action on our YouTube channel below.

Don't want to do that too may times!How about this kland, and I say this sincerely without any snark at all, why don't you put together a tour of worthwhile places out your way and we'll come to you. You'd be in control of the number of stops and the convenience level based on your needs. Some folks might not think it's worth driving out to the Fox River Valley for just two or three places, so maybe you could create a bigger list. The full group could hit all the stops and you would only participate in the ones you feel are most worthy. The Contingent welcomes all Roadfooders and we do what we can to accommodate members with special physical needs. So far though, you're the only one who lives out in the valley, so you'll need to meet us halfway by telling us where to go once we get there. Buddy
JRPfeff If you want a restaurant hot dog, go to Illinois. Wisconsinites only cook hot dogs at home, camping, picnics and tailgates (mainly for their children, adults prefer brats). What is the point of going for Chicago food on a Milwaukee food tour? Two tours in a row, no less. Does Buddy have a CSD place on his tour of Des Plains?

Cambridge Votes Save Artist from Apocalypse
Last night I attended the launch of the 2013 Cambridge International Development Report [1] at Cambridge University. The report is the work of the Humanitarian Centre [2] – a unique network that is truly cross-sector and collaborative in its approach.
So often I attend conferences and networks with homogenous attendees. Artists network with artists, social entrepreneurs with social entrepreneurs and diplomats with diplomats. Empathy and feel good scores high at these events, but rarely are people surprised, intrigued or challenged. The Humanitarian Centre puts poverty at its heart – and as a result attracts not just development professionals, but business leaders, academics, policy-makers, and, as it turns out – artists.
To launch the report last night I was asked to take part in a "life raft" debate. I had no idea what this was at first, but happily joined into the playful scenario. I am an artist after all. Everyone at the event was a survivor of an apocalypse. The year was 2015. The building we were in - Newnham College [3] – was the last building standing on a tiny patch of land in the British Isles. The life raft was heavily laden with food, stocks and blankets and people and was poised to sail away to a new land, where survivors would build a new society from the ground up. Just as the raft was about to embark, six more survivors were found trapped under the rubble of a collapsed building. You can guess what comes next. I was one of the six and I had to argue my way onto the only remaining place on the boat. I was not there as a communications strategist or international relations expert – instead they asked me to present my case as an artist.
I really thought I had drawn the short straw. I was up against some powerful opposition, and all eminent speakers: NGO Worker Jonny Gutteridge - the CEO of Engineers Without Boarders [4]; Policy-Maker Penny Roberston; Programme Manager at the UK's Department for International Development [5]; Academic Dr Adrian Campbell – Senior Lecturer at The University of Birmingham [6]; Business Leader Lloyd Fleming – Director of Finance and Operations at The Gold Standard Foundation [7]; and perhaps the trickiest candidate The Devil's Advocate Gregory Akall - a PHD candidate and communications expert. On reading about their backgrounds, I became more convinced that they had more merits than I. I felt like a wildcard – but decided to enjoy the experience anyway. If all else failed, I am a strong swimmer.
The room was full of people, many of whom had been involved in writing the report that was being launched. The report was titled Working Out Our Future Together: Four Steps Towards Ending Global Poverty. It uses bright colours and wonderful photographs and diagrams to illustrate it. I thought about the recent population lectures of Hans Rosling [8] – and how impressed I was with the visual tricks he used in presenting his work. I thought about Higgs Boson explained [9] through ping pong balls and a tea tray. When it comes to communicating – visual experts quite often have the edge. Slowly I began to believe that I deserved a place on that life raft.
I began with the artist's ability to communicate and then went on to describe how we can have vision. Not only do we have the dream – but we can do stuff and make stuff – we are implementers of dreams. Feeling the energy begin to lift in the room I presented a case for an artist who holds a mirror to society – a crucial reflection point, but also record and archive maker. I referenced Picasso's Guernica as an example and fiddled with a mirror I had bought along to demonstrate the point. We can, I claimed understand a society by looking at its art. It is no coincidence that the western art world was full of baffling elite art that has become a monstrous financial commodity. A popular art school view – but perhaps not one heard by this audience.
The mirror was also there to share the story of Norweigan artist Martin Andersen [10]. Andersen's village Rjukan was in darkness for six months of the year and he wanted to change that. Using a complex system of mirrors and computers that tracked the trajectory of the sun, he was able to capture sunlight. For the first time ever villagers bathed in winter sunshine. Some said it was life-changing – the mayor said it would revive the economy.
"One of the reasons that the arts contribution to development is undervalued is because creativity is our soul", I said. "It is the hearts bit of hearts and minds. It touches the very essence of our beings – it is music, love, passion. It is difficult to strip out and evaluate – and sits uncomfortably with the western idea of development". Art, I argued, is development. Even though I was the last to speak, I sensed the energy in the room pick up.
My six minutes were then over and we had to painfully sit whilst votes were cast. I voted for the Policy-Maker – perhaps because I used to be one and felt undervalued there too. But as a government official she was always going to be faced with some resistance.
As the title of this article suggests – the crowd dragged me onto the last remaining seat on the life raft and I was awarded an oar. I was deeply touched by the belief I stirred in the room that an artist could perform a function deemed critical to survival. It felt like it was a turning point – we need more artists in such debates please – and as I have said before [11], in the whole development process. Several people came up to me afterwards to say how refreshing it was to hear from an artist – and I put my success down to the fact that whilst my argument was strong, I was engaging with the room on a different level – I tried to avoid being dry and worthy and rather draw on my passion.
If there is one thing this exercise demonstrates it is that the Humanitarian Centre are getting it right – things really happen when you take a multi-sector approach to issues. Collaboration is key: working out our future together. In reality, the oar belongs to all six of us.

Archaeology, Israel & Jerusalem: Nose Falls Off the Skull of Gordon's Calvary

Spitzer submits signatures to get on NYC ballot
NEW YORK (AP) — Eliot Spitzer has met the deadline to file thousands of petition signatures for his bid to revive his political career by running for New York City comptroller.
Spitzer said that "over 27,000 signatures" were submitted to the city Board of Elections just after 10:30 p.m. Thursday, ahead of a midnight deadline. It came just four days after the tarnished ex-governor launched his campaign.
Spitzer needs 3,750 valid petition signatures to get on the Democratic primary ballot for September.
"I just want to first and foremost thank the citizens of New York that signed these petitions," Spitzer said outside the Board of Elections office in lower Manhattan. "I want to say it's an important statement for those who said it was not possible in the course of three and a half days to gather these signatures to get a candidate on the ballot for citywide office."
The filing may not be the last word. Spitzer's opponents or others could challenge signatures for reasons such as incomplete addresses or missing dates.
If that happens, elections officials will have to review the objections, hold a hearing late this month and decide whether the signatures qualify. The matter could ultimately go to court.
Spitzer, who resigned amid a prostitution scandal in 2008, startled the political establishment and shook up what had been a tame comptroller's race by jumping into it, a decision he says he just made over the weekend.
Candidates were allowed to start petitioning in early June, and many did. Campaigns generally gather two to three times as many signatures as needed, in case some are challenged as having incomplete addresses, missing dates or other flaws.
Spitzer had said he was aiming for 7,500 signatures. His self-financed campaign has offered canvassers $12 an hour to collect them; consulting firm BrownMillerGroup said a report that petitioners were getting $800 a day was inaccurate.
Stringer, meanwhile, noted that he relied on volunteer petitioners.
"One hundred thousand people signed my petition, and we didn't have to pay anybody," he said Thursday evening on TV news station NY 1's "Road to City Hall."
Spitzer and Stringer each need signers who are registered Democrats, live in the city and haven't signed another comptroller hopeful's petition. Signers must supply their names and addresses and date the forms, and signature-gatherers also have to fill out certain information.
Spitzer's four-day timeframe was certainly a challenge, political veterans said.
"It's not a lot of time. It can be done," said Martin Connor, an election lawyer and former state senator.
Meanwhile, Spitzer got encouraging news Wednesday from a poll showing he topped Stringer 42 percent to 33 percent among registered Democrats, including those leaning toward but not settled on a candidate. The Wall Street Journal-NBC 4 New York-Marist questioned 546 registered Democrats and had a margin of error of plus or minus 4.2 percentage points for questions limited to them.
Spitzer said Wednesday night that while the poll numbers were comforting, he was aware he had more work to do.
"I'm never confident," he said. "And that is defensive politics."
Stringer campaign manager Sascha Owen expressed confidence that as more voters get to know Stringer, "he will be the obvious choice for comptroller."
Other comptroller contenders include Republican John Burnett, who has worked on Wall Street; his campaign said Thursday he'd filed about 8,000 signatures.
Petitions weren't yet due for some third-party contenders, but Libertarian Kristin Davis' campaign has collected 3,100 so far, spokesman Andrew Miller said. Adding an unusual element to the campaign, Davis is a former madam.
Green Party candidate and former teacher Julia Willebrand's campaign didn't immediately respond to a message sent through the campaign's Facebook page Thursday evening.

The capital of Finnish Lapland, Rovaniemi is most famous for being the official home of Santa Claus. The city offers so much more, however; fly to Rovaniemi outside of the Christmas season and you'll still find plenty to see and do. An urban oasis amid the Arctic wilderness, Rovaniemi is a place where culture, adventure activities, nature and fairy tales come together. Have a great trip with this Finnair travel guide to Rovaniemi.
The city was rebuilt after World War II in the layout of reindeer antlers; stroll through the streets and see if you can work out whereabouts in the antlers you're standing. Pilke Science Centre is a great place to learn more about the surrounding forests, while Korundi House of Culture features art, music and cultural events. Important landmarks include Jätkänkynttilä Bridge and the Lutheran church with its detailed fresco. The world-famous Santa Claus Village and Santa Park are musts for anyone wanting to experience a genuine festive season with snowy surroundings, elves and—needless to say—the real Santa Claus. The scope of nature-based activities is also incredible, including extremely popular husky, reindeer and snowmobile excursions in the winter and mountain biking, white-water rafting and jet skiing in the summer. The warmer months also offer the novel experience of swimming and sunbathing in the Arctic at the small sand beach alongside the Kemijoki River. To top it all off, you might also get to witness one of the two breath-taking natural phenomena: the Northern Lights and the Midnight Sun. The Northern Lights are visible on clear nights between August and April, and the Midnight Sun season lasts from June to July. Reserve your airline tickets to Rovaniemi to experience these natural wonders. As the biggest city in Lapland, Rovaniemi offers a plethora of restaurants, bars and nightclubs too.
In addition to meeting Santa Claus in the winter, here are a couple more reasons to fly to Rovaniemi with children.

Ounasvaara – A large forested hill on the outskirts of the city, the winters offer great snow sports while biking and hiking along the marked trails are popular in the summer months.
German Soldier Cemetery – Located in Norvajärvi, the stone block cemetery stands isolated in the surrounding rugged countryside.

Once you get off your flight to Rovaniemi, the small city centre is generally easy to navigate by foot. Do be aware that transportation methods to places farther afield may alter with the seasons.
By foot – Most major city attractions are within close proximity of each other, making walking a preferred way to explore the city.
Buses – Local buses operate to areas outside of the city. Services are not, however, so frequent over the weekends and during the summer months. Generally, most bus services in Rovaniemi run every hour during the daytime. There are limited night buses.
Rovaniemi offers plenty of exciting experiences throughout the year.
Many people book their plane tickets to Rovaniemi for the winter months, when Lapland is carpeted in a thick blanket of snow, there are activities like husky sledging and cross-country skiing to enjoy, and you can meet Santa Claus. December and January are dark during most of the day and night, letting people experience the reality of the Polar Night. Winter is the best time to spot the magical Northern Lights, with March often providing the clearest sightings.
As the snow starts to thaw in spring, nature can be seen coming back to life.
The warmer summers have lots of daylight, with no darkness at all in some months. The Midnight Sun occurs between June and July and you can enjoy varied activities at any time. This is a great time for enjoying the area's nature and an array of outdoor activities. Summers also see plenty of lively events.

decides not to pursue top medal for celebrated U.S. Marine hero
Send a link to a friend
[February 22, 2014]
By David Alexander
WASHINGTON (Reuters) — U.S. Defense
Secretary Chuck Hagel has reviewed the case of a Marine sergeant honored
for heroism in Iraq and agreed with two other Pentagon chiefs that the
evidence is insufficient to merit the highest military award for valor,
the Pentagon said on Friday.
Supporters have criticized the department for denying Marine
Sergeant Rafael Peralta's nomination for the Medal of Honor for his
actions in Fallujah in 2004, when pulled a grenade under his body to
shield his comrades from the explosion, even as he was already dying
of a fatal head wound.
The five members of his squad were eyewitnesses to Peralta's actions
and nominated him for the honor, but some medical experts have
raised doubts as to whether he could have consciously moved the
grenade under his body given the damage caused by the bullet wound.
"After extensively familiarizing himself with the history of
Sergeant Peralta's nomination, Secretary Hagel determined the
totality of the evidence does not meet the 'proof beyond a
reasonable doubt' Medal of Honor award standard," the Pentagon said
in a statement.
Peralta's case has become a cause celebre among Marines and others.
While Defense Secretary Robert Gates initially denied the Medal of
Honor nomination, he approved Peralta for the Navy Cross, the
second-highest military award for valor for members of the Navy and
Marine Corps.
Supporters and lawmakers have continued to lobby for reconsideration
of Peralta's case. Gates' successor, Leon Panetta, reviewed the case
and decided against reopening it. Hagel became the third defense
chief to examine the case, acting at the request of California
Although denied the Medal of Honor, Peralta has become a symbol of
heroism among Marines and was further honored just last year by the
Navy, which named its 65th Arleigh Burke-class destroyer after him.
A native of Mexico, Peralta immigrated illegally to the United
States and graduated from high school in California. He joined the
Marine Corps as soon as he received his legal residency card and
later became a U.S. citizen.
Hagel's decision in the Peralta case coincided with a White House
announcement that President Barack Obama will award the Medal of
Honor to 24 Army veterans from Vietnam, Korea and World War II,
most of them Jews or Hispanics who may have been previously denied
the award due to prejudice.
Obama will award the medals during a White House ceremony on March
[to top of second column]
The announcement follows a 12-year review initiated by Congress in
2002. Lawmakers directed a review of service records from previous
wars to ensure that Jewish or Hispanic soldiers were not awarded
lesser medals due to prejudice.
During the course of the review, several soldiers who were not
Jewish or Hispanic were found to meet the criteria for the medal and
the law was amended to allow them to receive the honor as well.
Only three of the soldiers, all Vietnam veterans, are still living.
The rest will receive the award posthumously.
This is not the first review to ensure prejudice was not a factor in
the awarding the medal. An Army review in the 1990s looked at
records from the Second World War and concluded that while no
African Americans had received the Medal of Honor, seven should have
President Bill Clinton presented the awards in 1997.
A similar review of the records of Asian and Pacific Islander
veterans from World War Two resulted in 22 Medals of Honor, which
Clinton presented in 2000.

Welcome To Los Delfines | Home
Arenal d'en Castell | Binibeca | Cala Alcaufar | Cala Blanca | Cala Galdana | Cala Llonga | Cala Morell | Cala'n Blanes | Cala'n Bosch | Cala'n Forcat | Cala'n Porter | Cala Santandria | Ciutadella | Es Canutells | Es Castell | Los Delfines | Mahon | Playas de Fornells | Punta Prima | S'Algar | Santo Tomas | Son Bou | Son Parc | F A Q | Links | Contact Us | Menorca Hotels | Menorca Villas | Flight Information |
Taxi Transfer Costs:
For all intents and purposes, Los Delfines along with its neighbours Cala'n Blanes and Cala'n Forcat, have now all merged to form the one resort that is possibly the largest tourist development on the island. However, in typically Spanish style, this development appears to have been carried out without any real central master plan.
The whole area around Los Delfines is one of Menorca's newest resort destinations, that for the most part has only been built from the late 1980's onwards to accommodate an increasing demand for holiday accommodation on the island.
With the exception of a couple of fair sized hotels, accommodation here is mainly self catering apartments and privately owned villas, and as a generalisation would be best suited towards families with young children or younger couples.
In recent years the transfer into the resort has been made considerably easier with the construction of the RC-1 Ronda Nord Ciutadella northern bypass.
However, it has to be said that the journey west across the island along the main ME-1, although being very straightforward, is not particularly fast, and may take between 1 - 1.1/4 hours from the time of leaving the airport grounds.
As with the other resorts on the island, we have put together the basic route for this journey, complete with links to maps where appropriate, and this is available from the Route Map link on the left hand frame of this page.
During the summer, taxis are always plentiful outside of the arrivals hall of the airport, and although in theory at least, they all operate on a fixed price basis, the total cost of a journey is known to vary slightly, however, as a very rough guide the transfer to Los Delfines should normally cost around 65€ for a taxi carrying 4 people plus luggage.
It's also worthwhile mentioning that as a rule, taxis do not normally carry child seats, so very small children may have to sit on their parent's knee for the journey. If this is a cause for concern, we strongly recommend that you make arrangements for a pre-booked taxi to be waiting for you, and clearly specify at the time of booking that a child seat is needed for the journey. Pre-booked taxis are often a little more expensive, although as with all things in life, you only get what you pay for.
Once you have settled in to your accommodation, public transport both around the resort and beyond is surprisingly good for Menorca. For local journeys, a leisurely mini train runs around the resort during the day and well into the early evening, and for journeys further afield the west coast bus service operated by Torres Alles Autocares sa make the short trip east towards Ciutadella, approximately every 20 to 30 minutes.
Once in Ciutadella further journeys on the Transportes Menorca sa network can then be made east towards Mahon. The timetables for these routes are published each year on the bus stops throughout the town, and also on their respective web sites, although, in all cases clearly no responsibility can be accepted as to either the content or accuracy of information provided on these external links.
Los Delfines and the surrounding area, is very popular with British visitors, and in recognition of the high number of private holiday villas' and self catering apartments in the town, the resort has a good selection of shops and SPAR type supermarkets that should cater for the everyday holiday essentials, with most also stocking a wide selection of UK recognised branded goods, albeit at slightly higher prices than you would normally expect to pay back home. However, for a wider selection of both designer labels and local crafts you will need to head into nearby Ciutadella.
Much of the west coast of Menorca around Los Delfines is very rugged, with deep rocky inlets that are not too dissimilar to the coastline around Cala d'Or on east coast of Majorca.
In all fairness nearby Cala'n Blanes has probably the best beach in the area, but it can become very crowded during the peak summer weekends. In contrast, the Cala'n Forcat beach is really little more than a deep inlet that has a number of concrete platforms to dive or swim off.
The resorts of Los Delfines, Cala'n Forcat and Cala'n Blanes are often described by the major tour operators as being "lively". By Menorcan standards they probably are, however, don't go expecting to find another Magaluf or Playa de las Americas here, Menorca just isn't like that, which for most people who holiday here is attraction enough.

Does the Sea Air Have Curative Powers?
An Expert Weighs in on the Benefits of Breathing in Beach Air and Surfing
In the 18th and 19th centuries, ocean air was considered a cure-all for nearly any illness, from depression to tuberculosis. But is there real science to the supposed healing powers of a visit to the sea?
One expert, Thomas W. Ferkol, the president of the American Thoracic Society and a pediatric pulmonologist at Washington University in St. Louis, dives in—and explains why some patients might want to take up surfing.

In 1971, Congress significantly departed from its established federal Indian policy by enacting the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (ANCSA), which established 12 regional Native corporations (a 13th was later formed) and more than 200 village corporations.
Congress authorized the conveyance of fee title to 40 million acres of public lands in Alaska and the payment of $962.5 million to Native-owned corporations created under the act. ANCSA was designed to give Alaska Natives a means of ensuring financial independence by giving them corporate ownership to large tracts of land and the opportunity to develop that land.
In the more than four decades since ANCSA's passage, Alaska Native corporations have successfully integrated into the national and international business communities, and many, including Chugach Alaska Corporation, are among the leading businesses in the state.
The corporations created by ANCSA do much more than make money, however. We make a difference in the lives of their Alaska Native shareholders. Over the last four years, Alaska Native corporations have invested an average of 62.4 percent of our net income in dividends, social and cultural programs, and scholarships that benefit shareholders and their descendants. According to data collected by ANCSA Regional Association, between 2009 and 2012, the 12 regional corporations paid out a total of $678.4 million in shareholder dividends. Collectively, we manage tens of millions of land holdings, ensuring a thoughtful and responsible balance of development and preservation. In addition to the economic advantages Alaska Native corporations provide to shareholders, we strive to advance opportunities for Alaska Native people in the business world through shareholder hire and career development.

Major-General TULLOCH opened the United Service Home at Drysdale on Wednesday 2 July 1891. When he arrived in Victoria as commander of the Victorian military forces in 1890, he was appalled to discover that a number of old soldiers and sailors of the Imperial forces were homeless and destitute in Melbourne. Funds were raised to build the Home which was to be used for two classes of pensioners: those requiring a little financial assistance [sustenance] and those requiring somewhere to live.
To commemorate the 100th anniversary of the establishment of the United Service Home, Eric Hourn published "A Drysdale Romance" featuring "United Services [sic] Home".
This publication is still available from the Bellarine Historical Society and includes lists of residents and sustenance recipients. Since this list was compiled, further research has enabled the Society to update some details of names and dates. A new research project commenced to properly identify these men from the updated alphabetical list.
The first soldier selected was Jeremiah BROWN – one of the first eight residents of the Home. We certainly didn't expect to uncover the details that emerged from this research! The story of Jeremiah appears in the June 2013 issue of Ancestor, the quarterly journal of the Genealogical Society of Victoria. This edition of Ancestor is on its way to members and subscribing libraries and will shortly be available for purchase through the GSV Online Shop.
Jeremiah may not have been what he said he was, but you just can't help developing a soft spot for him! And the old saying "you learn something new every day" was so relevant for Jeremiah BROWN. The Waterloo Cyclorama in Melbourne was as fascinating as the story of Jeremiah.
What will we find when we research some of the other residents of the United Service Home? Perhaps one of your ancestors or relatives appears in the list – why not check and see?

Energy card (TCG)
- Energy redirects here. For stat in Pokémon Conquest, see Statistic → Energy.
Energy cards (Japanese: エネルギー Energy) are the cards that power Pokémon attacks in the Pokémon Trading Card Game. Without the required Energy cards attached, a Pokémon cannot use these attacks. Energy cards come in Basic and Special forms.
Basic Energy cards
Basic Energy cards (Japanese: 基本エネルギー Basic Energy) are defined as nine Energy cards that share their printed type with a Pokémon. They are the only cards that players are allowed to have more than four of in their decks (aside from Arceus which has its own Special Rule). Basic Energy cards always provide one of their printed type of Energy or one Colorless Energy*. There is no basic Energy card that provides only a single Colorless Energy, as it would be entirely outclassed by any of the other types.
Further Information:Energies can only be used once per turn and is generally needed for attacks. Energies can also be discarded in situations like flipping a coin or retreating Pokémon etc.

Special Energy cards
- Main article: List of Special Energy cards
Special Energy cards (Japanese: 特殊エネルギー Special Energy) are cards that provide more than one Energy of a specific type and/or have an additional effect besides providing Energy. Some may heal the Pokémon they're attached to, add damage to their attacks, or may even provide several different types of Energy at once. A majority of them provide only Colorless Energy; however, there are several which provide one or more of any type of Basic Energy.

Texas cop wins appeal of firing; IA criticized for bias
The officer argued that his firing was due to his flawed past and not because an alleged argument laced with racial slurs
By Michelle Mondo
San Antonio Express-News
SAN ANTONIO, Texas — San Antonio police Lt. Lee Rakun won an appeal of his termination and will return to work as soon as the paperwork is complete.
Rakun had been placed on indefinite suspension, tantamount to being fired, last year — the 15th disciplinary action taken against him in his 19-year career and the third time he faced termination.
An arbitrator ruled last week that Police Chief William McManus shouldn't have fired Rakun on July 10 after allegations he got into a drunken argument and spewed racial slurs at a Bexar County deputy constable working security at an Alamo Heights restaurant and bar.
Also, for the second time in a high-profile case, the ruling criticized the internal affairs investigation as being biased against the officer.
Rakun has always denied using ethnic or racial slurs and at the time of the firing his lawyers said the firing was undeserved and based on a bias against him because of his checkered past.
The arbitrator agreed, partially. He upheld two of the four violations for which Rakun was fired, deciding instead on a 45-day suspension. "No two cases are alike, but ... I detect a general tendency for the Chief of Police to award suspensions ranging from 30 to 45 days to officers who make serious but non-career ending violations," arbitrator William L. McKee wrote.
Rakun will get back pay for everything but the 45 days.
McManus said in an emailed statement that they will abide by the most recent ruling, adding, "We conduct a thorough disciplinary process which includes both sworn and civilian input."
Rakun did not return a call for comment Monday. He has previously referred comments to his attorney.
His attorney Karl Brehm said the decision produced mixed feelings.
"While we're glad he gets his job back, he completely, unequivocally denies that," Brehm said about the offensive comments. "He never said anything like that."
Like the majority of his other suspensions, the latest stemmed from his personal life. On Jan. 14, 2012, Rakun along with a few family members and friends rented a limo and were taking part in a scavenger hunt sponsored by Silo. No one can agree on what occurred.
Deputy Constable Christopher Ahumada, the security guard that night, accused Rakun of becoming belligerent when Ahumada refused to let him into Silo because he was carrying a bottle of liquor. Ahumada alleged Rakun tried to use his position at SAPD to get into the bar, threatened to get him fired and called him offensive names like "Beaner," the ruling said.
Not so, Rakun said, adding he was only taking in the bottle because the label was part of the scavenger hunt, the ruling said. He took the bottle back to the limo and tried to get back inside; Ahumada was the one being confrontational.
"The facts of this case are highly disputed," the ruling said, adding the city's witness statements were riddled with inconsistencies. "There are credibility concerns with respect to every single fact witness."
McKee's ruling also said the lead investigator on the case wasn't as objective or as "open-minded" as he should have been.
Rakun's 14th suspension in 2010 — and his second firing — involved allegations of abuse by his then-ex-girlfriend. That case also involved a lot of he-said, she-said and in the end the chief worked out a deal that Rakun could come back.
All of his other disciplinary issues were dealt with before McManus became chief.

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. -- New champions will be crowned Friday in both the men's and women's races during the TTU Invitational at Southern Hills Golf Course. Six men's team will tour the 8K course at 3 p.m., followed seven women's teams in a 5K run at 4 p.m.
Defending champions Evansville and Milligan are not running in
the event this year, but coach Tony Cox thinks the field is the
strongest in the 10-year history of the TTU Invitational.
"We've picked up a couple of new teams this year, and I think the field will be more competitive than ever," Cox said.
Competing in the men's race will be Ohio Valley Conference rivals Murray State, Tennessee State and Jacksonville State, along with the Golden Eagles. Also in the field will be UT Chattanooga and North Alabama. The field in the women's race will feature the same six schools, plus Alabama A&M.
The Tech men wil l be paced by junior Sam Taylor, who finished sixth overall a year ago in leading the Golden Eagles to a third place finish. Right behind him in that event was Joseph DeLorenzo in seventh place, and he returns this fall as one of five seniors on the TTU roster.
Among the newcomers expected to challenge for the Tech men's team is freshman Chris Bishop (left) from Morristown, who has been second on the team behind Taylor in the first two meets of the season.
The Tech women finished second behind Milligan in last year's
TTU Invitational with teammates Stephanie Place and Keri Light
taking the top two individual spots. Both of
those runners are gone this season, and Tiffany Palmer has moved
into the team's top role, leading Tech in both events this year.
The senior from Cleveland placed third a year ago on the Southern
Hills course, so she will be among the contenders in 2009.
Also figuring to run among Tech's leaders are sophomore Traci Jones from Aiken, S.C., and senior Amanda Simmons (left) from Woodstock, Ga. They have been Tech's second and third finishers twice already this year.

Cut-To-Fit Axles From Currie Enterprises
There are not an awful lot of what we'd consider "standard" parts used in the mix when it comes to building a street rod. Sure, all those small-block Chevys and trannies are pretty much the same, but try and swap a rearend out of any old passenger car into a street rod and whether it fits perfectly or not is gonna be a crapshoot, at best. It's for this reason that Currie Enterprises, and in the last few years its 9-Plus division, has served the hobby well by providing a vast array of rearend housings, assemblies, and components in nearly endless configurations.
The 9-Plus division has become a favorite source for rodders looking to purchase custom-width rearend housings for special applications. They'll not only build to suit but also sell the centersections, axle tubes, flanges, axles, and third members as individual components so we can then assemble a rearend ourselves to our own specs. It's a great concept, and one that is taken advantage of more and more often these days. But, there was still one slight fly in the ointment, so to speak. Once any of us got all our parts and sewed together the perfect rearend housing for our particular vehicles, we still had to order the appropriate axles to fit those housings-which took another couple of weeks, at best. Well, recently the good folks at Currie/9-Plus have solved that problem by developing a new axle called the CTF. CTF stands for cut-to-fit and it's the final piece to the perfect rearend puzzle.
As the name implies, this new 31-spline forged axle was designed so the end user has the ability to adjust its length so it will be useable in a myriad of applications-so you'll now be able to order your axles at the same time you order your rearend housing components in nearly all but the most extreme situations. This way you build the rearend, install the third member, and trim the axles to fit; there's no more waiting for special-order axles to fit the housing you just assembled.

A lot has changed since then.
Picture this. A modern teenager discovers Shady Dell Music & Memories, samples my play list and discovers that he or she doesn't know any of the songs or people who recorded them. Typical, right? Maybe, but in this instance the reason is not what you think. You see, the teen isn't puzzled because my 60s music is too ancient. The young blog visitor is drawing a blank because it's too recent! This seemingly far fetched scenario did not unfold in some bizarro world in
a distant parallel universe. It is actually happening today... right here... right now... and I couldn't be more excited!
There's a movement afoot and music is only one aspect. Generation Green is recycling bottles, cans, clothing and other products, reducing their carbon footprint and taking back our world from those who would destroy it.

A Tennessee teen named after Elvis the King, Presley has found a home among the stars of the 30s, 40s and 50s. I suspect that
she knows more about the entertainers of the WWII era than most of us baby boomers. A sweet, polite person and fine singer, Presley captures the very essence
of living greats like Doris Day and channels the spirits of departed legends like Marilyn Monroe.
"Anyone Can See I Love You" (performed by Marilyn Monroe
in the 1948 motion picture Ladies of the Chorus)
Presley is a poised and professional singer, but what strikes me most about her is the spirit of a bygone era that shines through her eyes and is reflected in her demeanor. As you watch Presley you get a sense that she is an old soul, the reincarnation of kinder, gentler people of an earlier time.
"By the Light of the Silvery Moon" (performed by Doris Day
in the 1953 musical motion picture of the same name.
Not your typical teenager?
God willing...perhaps she soon will be.
"He's Home for a Little While" (#11 chart hit as performed
by Dinah Shore in 1945/also recorded in 1945 by Doris Day
accompanied by Les Brown's Band of Renown)
Special Comment
I salute Presley and those like her. They represent a new wave of youth that
is spreading its influence through society, not as
a cancer but as a cure. Presley and her peers are
a revolutionary vanguard, deftly bypassing the sleaze and smut that permeates their modern world. They are the rebirth of a long lost generation of Americans that stood for decency and moral integrity. Presley is part of a generation unchained, refusing to follow the herd, thinking for themselves, making up their own minds and exercising their freedom of expression. It's time for all of us to learn what Presley and other outstanding young citizens of the world have already learned.
You have a choice.
You always have a choice.

Teen stowaway can't believe he survived flight
The teen who miraculously survived a flight inside the plane's wheel well is speaking out about the terrifying trip for the first time.
SAN JOSE, Calif. — A teenager who survived a flight to Hawaii as a stowaway in the plane's wheel well said he hopped on the closest flight that was going west in an effort to find his birth mom and can't believe he survived the journey.
Yahya Abdi, 15, spoke over Google Chat to KPIX-5 (http://cbsloc.al/1lCIvg4) in his first public comments since his improbable survival during the 5 1/2-hour flight from San Jose to Maui in April. The interview was reported on Tuesday night.
Yahya, a Somali immigrant, ran away from his Santa Clara home and hopped a fence at Mineta San Jose International Airport. He crouched down in the wheel well of the Hawaiian Airlines flight and remembers covering his ears as the plane took off, he said.
"It was above the clouds, I could see through the little holes," Yahya said.
Yahya survived the flight at 35,000 feet despite low oxygen and freezing temperatures. Video footage from the Maui airport shows him dropping to the tarmac about an hour after the jet landed.
The teen said he made the decision to get on board the plane because he didn't want to live with his stepmom and wanted to find his mother, who he hasn't seen since he was seven years old. She lives in Africa.
Yahya spoke to her on the phone on Tuesday.
"I would tell her to live with me in America," he said.
His mom, Ubah Mohammed Abdule, confirmed the conversation to The Associated Press.
"He says, 'Mom, you are not dead for sure?'" Abdule told the AP. "'I thought you died in a boat trip. This is incredible news!' Then he became silent for a moment. Then he cried."
Yahya is staying at a temporary foster home. He will be a junior in high school this fall and plans to live with his aunt in the Minneapolis area, KPIX-5 reported.
Yahya has been spending his days doing normal teenage things. "I've been going to the movie theater and playing video games," he said.
Earlier this year, police said they were investigating possible criminal charges against the boy for climbing the airport fence, and that the teen was being cared for by child protective services.
The Santa Clara County Office of the Public Defender confirms it has been appointed to "advise and assist" the boy, but could not say in what capacity due to juvenile privacy rules.
