The Milwaukee Art Museum is proposing a new, $5 million addition
The Milwaukee Art Museum has proposed a new building – a glassy atrium – that would give the museum a new entrance on a prime spot of lakefront that isn't used much now.
Designed by Milwaukee architect Jim Shields, of HGA Architects and Engineers, the $5 million building is part of a larger $15 million project to reorganize the museum's permanent collection galleries and bring the spaces in the War Memorial complex that the museum occupies up to expected art-world standards for environmental controls.
"One of the things that we were interested in is developing an addition so that you could again appreciate the presence of Lake Michigan," said Shields, who noted that galleries will be organized enfilade, with rooms in formal alignment and dominant east-west views to the lake. "Right now you can be in the collection galleries and have no idea that you are on the lake."
The museum also wanted to create a place where people could look back at the Santiago Calatrava-designed addition from one of the best vantage points.
The new building will include a café, sculpture, perhaps specially commissioned works of art and places to buy tickets.
As it stands now, museum visitors have to walk four football field lengths to get into the museum's collection galleries if they park in the largest, north side lot. Visitors have to go through the north entrance of the War Memorial, pass through a staff breakroom and by a security post, make several disorienting turns, pass through the long, west-side galleria in the Calatrava wing, show a membership card or buy a ticket and walk back through the east galleria to arrive at the collection galleries – perhaps 50 feet from where the car was parked.
"Their process of getting in is nothing short of ridiculous," Shields said.
Shields said he wanted to design a modest structure that wouldn't enter into the "pitched battle of the two masters on the lakefront," referring to Calatrava and Eero Saarinen, one of the great modernist architects of the 20th century, who designed the cruciform shaped and cantilevered War Memorial building. As the designer for Discovery World, just to MAM's north, Shields is not stranger to creating buildings that play nice with more expressive ones.
The 8,000-square-foot building will extend the 1972 David Kahler addition by about 200 feet and be sheathed in glass with a ceramic silkscreen that will create subtle, dynamic effects. The glass exterior will be transparent at the base and increasingly opaque toward the top. Some decisions about the structure are still being worked out.
Inside, all of the museum's spaces, except for those in the Calatrava wing, walls will be torn down, floors refinished, new ceilings installed and the arrangement of art completely rethought.
On its most recent site visit a few years ago, the American Association of Museums complimented MAM for opening the Calatrava building but said the permanent collection galleries had become convoluted and maze-like over time. As an AAM accredited institution, the museum is obliged to correct that problem.
Now, the long, lakeside galleria of the Calatrava leads into extremely dark space and some of the oldest art in the collection. After the redesign, both the east and west gallerias will lead into the brighter, whiter spaces. The west galleria will serve as entrance to the European collection and the east galleria will open into the contemporary collection, said Brady Roberts, the museum's chief curator, who is over seeing the reinstallation.
The American collection, which the museum has placed greater emphasis on in recent years, will move from the basement to the second floor galleries near the Bradley Collection of modern art, where balcony spaces will be punched out to overlook the new atrium.
A currently unused outdoor sculpture court, surrounded by leaky windows, will be sealed up and become a new 5,000-square-foot changing exhibition gallery in the heart of the museum.
Up above, Fitch Plaza, the largely vacant, concrete roof of the Kahler building, could be turned into an urban park, said Dan Keegan, the museum's director. The museum hopes to commission an internationally known artist to create a landscape and art design for the area that would honor the men and women of the military. They invited internationally known conceptual artist Jenny Holzer to come to Milwaukee to meet with veterans and to consider the possibilities, for instance.
Many spaces in the Saarinen and Kahler buildings will have to be closed for several months, either all at once or in stages, Keegan said, adding that he will be sensitive to important days of observation for veterans. The museum hopes to begin construction in the fall in 2013.

With today's economy - this expense seems a little weird. These changes were not foreseen prior to the building of the structure? 20-20 hind sight....Hide replies
its 50 years later and they have delayed various repairs over the years. sometimes it costs money to have nice things.
yeah, tell that to the unemployed.
i really don't see a negative to this. we have a building that is clearly in bad shape. they have come forward with a plan to improve it. it costs alot of money, but some of it will probably be paid for with donations from the wealthy who support the arts. the construction will be done by people, thereby supporting the economy.
i don't think it would be possible to build a building that never needs a repair or an upgrade, so unless we just let it collapse and plant some trees on the rubble, this is the way this thing works.
I think the $5 million would be better spent in order to get people to go inside: art! There has to be some Giottos, Da Vincis, or Monets that aren't being used at other museums!
Do they have any idea where the 5 mil will come from ? Private donations, the taxpayers ?
Sounds sensible to me. Looks like a good series of solutions to some problems that needed to be addressed. Thank goodness we did not listen to all of the naysayers who said Milwaukee could not afford the Calatrava!
It looks like someone parked a Walmart under the War Memorial Center. Tear that whole thing down and give the War Memorial its perch of the lake front back. Tear down the transit center and o-donnell parking down and let the Art Museum build a new world class structure, on land leased from the county.
I would agree the entry into MAM from the north lots is nothing short of awful, and incredibly inhospitable to guests. I would also suggest that the Kahler addition to the War Memorial added in 1975 is pretty awful and destroyed the aesthetics of the Saarinen-designed building - and this doesn't help that in the least.
I'd prefer to see the Kahler addition demolished, as Chucksa suggests, and a new long wing stretch northeast along Mason Street, serving as a reflection of the Calatrava addition, with the Saarinen building perched in the middle uniting the two.
Hi and good morning. Thanks for your comments and interest in this story. Regarding questions about funds, the museum is proposing a $15 million project. Of that, $5 million would be for the new addition. The rest would pay for enclosing the leaky sculpture court to turn it into a changing gallery and for a dramatic refinishing and reorganization of the permanent collection galleries. These would all be private funds raised by MAM of which about $4 million is already committed. The museum board is unanimously behind this plan, and Dan Keegan, the director, believes that, based on the buy-in from the board, the museum will be able to raise the funds. If it goes forward, the museum would be saving the county about $2 million in deferred maintenance. Keegan is also arguing that it can save the county in long-term operational expense by taking operational control of the building, thought that is a point that David Drent, executive director of the War Memorial disputes. Also, if the museum's estimates are correct, the county would have to come up with $8 million to $10 million for repairs.
It's worth it if the new Trolley makes a stop here.
This is an excellent plan that is long, LONG overdue. I applaud the current museum board for having some sort of vision, to improve our world class art museum. The new atrium is an especially good idea. If the O'Donnell park re-do moves forward with a hotel and\or residential\office building and if NML rebuilds it's tower with something sleek and modern, our lakefront and the edge of downtown will have been alterred into something that more resembles the modern city we've become.
i'm with chuck... tear down the Kahler building and start over.

Traverse City Record-Eagle
---- — Man accused in crash death headed to trial
BELLAIRE — A man accused of driving drunk in a crash that killed an Antrim County woman is headed toward trial.
Thomas Joseph Altobelli, 60, waived his preliminary examination Thursday before 86th District Judge Michael Haley.
The Harrison Township man is charged with operating a vehicle while intoxicated causing death, operating while intoxicated causing serious injury and operating with a high blood-alcohol content.
Authorities said Altobelli crashed a vehicle head-on into another vehicle along Alba Highway on Nov. 23. Diane Shafer, 37, a passenger in the second vehicle, later died from her injuries.
Two blood-alcohol tests were administered. The first came back at .207, and the second resulted in .23. The legal limit in Michigan is .08.
Altobelli remains free on $20,000 bond.
Man charged for alleged assaults
TRAVERSE CITY — A Traverse City man faces criminal sexual conduct charges after he allegedly assaulted a girl several times over the summer in Grand Traverse County.
Police arrested Shaun Dena Brown, 34, on Feb. 27. He is charged with two counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct and one count of second-degree criminal sexual conduct.
Brown is accused of sexually assaulting a friend's female relative. Court records show the incidents occurred at a home in Interlochen and at a Traverse City park between June and August 2012.
Brown is held in jail without bond, according to court records. A preliminary examination is scheduled for March 14.

On November 22, Sandford Carter finished his supper and returned to his room. "Sandy" a resident of Loch Haven Nursing Home in Macon, can neither hear or speak, so when he fell out of his wheelchair he had no way to call for help.
But never fear, Larry was near. Larry, a Yellow Lab/Shepherd mix is also a resident of Loch Haven.
"I was at the desk working on charts when I heard Larry barking," said West Wing Charge Nurse Crystal Smoot, LPN. "He was standing outside Sandy's room and was looking down the hall at me like he was saying "'come on, you need to come here!"'
Although Larry has been trained not to bark he still sometimes does. But this barking was different.
"This was not his usual bark," said Loch Haven Administrator Byron Freeman. "He was barking frantically."
Crystal responded to Larry's alert and found Sandy lying on the floor.
"I gave Larry the hand signal that I was there to help, that he could stop barking," said Crystal. "We got Sandy back in his chair but Larry stayed right there until he knew he was taken care of."
"He started licking Sandy all over his face," said Loch Haven Marketing Director Mary Beth Truitt. "It was Larry's way of making sure he was ok."
Larry and Johnny, who is a Lab mix, came to live at the nursing home in June of this year as a part of the Puppies for Parole Program.
Puppies for Parole is an endeavor through the Missouri Department of Corrections in partnership with animal shelters and animal advocate groups throughout the state.
Selected prison inmates volunteer as dog trainers to rescue dogs through the program. They teach basic obedience and socialization skills to the canines which makes them more adoptable.
Once the dogs have successfully completed the 8-12 week training program they are placed up for adoption.
Larry and Johnny were trained at Algoa Correctional Facility in Jefferson City.
Larry came from the home of a man who was a hoarder. He lived the first two years of his life in a kennel.
"His son talked him in to letting Larry get in the program by convincing him that he would be helping someone else," said Truitt. "We heard that Johnny was one of three dogs found roaming the streets of Fulton."
Loch Haven personnel made trips to Jefferson City to pick out the dogs they wanted, to receive training and later to attending their graduation from obedience school before bringing them back to Loch Haven.
"We requested that they receive 'Man Down' training," said Freeman. "And Larry responded to that training by alerting us that Sandy needed help."
Page 2 of 2 - "Puppies for Parole is a win/win," said Freeman. "It helps the inmates, the animals they train and those who adopt them."
During the day, Larry may be found wandering the halls of the nursing home while Johnny is in the apartments.
At night Larry goes home with Freeman. Johnny is housed by Wendy Bouman the manager of the Loch Haven Apartments.
"Larry and Johnny have been very good for our residents," said Truitt. "We had one gentleman that hardly ever spoke before the dogs arrived. Since then he has opened up by talking about when he raised coon dogs."
Larry and Johnny roam freely from room to room. They know that they aren't allowed in the dinning area unless they are with someone.
"The residents look forward to the dogs visiting their rooms," said Freeman. "Many have doggie treats or leftovers from their meals for them. I've had residents call me if they haven't shown up in their room wondering where they are."
According to the Department of Corrections website, the program reached the milestone of 2,000 dogs successfully adopted this fall.
Puppies for Parole does not receive any general revenue funding from the state to support its activities. More information may be found on the program online at doc.mo.gov (click on Puppies for Parole tab) or on Facebook at Missouri Puppies for Parole.

The Associated Press
ST. LOUIS — Blinding snow, at times accompanied by thunder and lightning, bombarded much of the nation's midsection Thursday, causing whiteout conditions, shutting down large swaths of interstate highways and forcing schools, businesses and even state legislatures to close.
Kansas was the epicenter of the winter storm, with parts of the state buried under 14 inches of powdery snow, but winter storm warnings stretched from eastern Colorado through Illinois. Freezing rain and sleet were forecast for southern Missouri, southern Illinois and Arkansas. St. Louis received all of the above — a treacherous mix of snow, sleet and freezing rain.
Several accidents were blamed on icy and slushy roadways, including two fatal accidents. Most schools in Kansas and Missouri, and many in neighboring states, were closed. Legislatures shut down in Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas, Nebraska and Iowa.
"Thundersnow" accompanied the winter storm in parts of Kansas and Missouri, which National Weather Service meteorologist Scott Truett said is the result of an unstable air mass.
"Instead of pouring rain, it's pouring snow," Truett said. And pouring was a sound description, with snow falling at a rate of 1 1/2 to 2 inches per hour in some spots. Kansas City, Mo., got 5 inches in two hours.
Snow totals passed the foot mark in many places: Monarch Pass, Colo., had 17 1/2 inches, Hutchinson, Kan., 14 inches and Wichita, Kan., 13 inches. The National Weather Service said up to 18 inches of snow were possible in central Kansas.
With that in mind, Kansas transportation officials — and even the governor — urged people to stay home.
Drivers were particularly warned away from the Kansas Turnpike, which had whiteout conditions. Interstate 70 was also snow-packed and a 90-mile stretch of that road was closed between Salina and Hays.
Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback closed executive offices, except for essential personnel.
The storm brought moisture to a region of the country that has been parched for nearly a year, engulfed in the worst drought in decades. Climatologists say 12 inches of snow is equivalent to about 1 inch of rain, depending on the density of the snow.
In Colorado, the U.S. Forest Service planned to take advantage of the snow to burn piles of dead trees on federal land.
Areas in western Oklahoma and the Texas Panhandle also had up to 8 inches of snow by Thursday morning.

Traverse City Record-Eagle
---- — TRAVERSE CITY — The Grand Traverse County courthouse's historic bell could soon ring again.
Several community members expressed interest in raising funds to restore the 112-year-old bell that sits high atop the county's circuit courthouse, said Danny Brown, county Facilities Management Department director.
The bell used to ring every hour and half-hour, but fell silent in 2008 because of budget and safety concerns. Four years earlier an accident at the century-old Antrim County Courthouse sent a set of massive bell counterweights crashing to the ground. No one was hurt, but Brown decided to perform a check-up on Grand Traverse County's courthouse bell.
Brown replaced the bell's cables and reinforced the tower's wooden structure with steel, but the old weight and cable system needed to be fully replaced.
"I laid awake thinking about the darn thing swinging in the air," Brown said.
Estimates indicated it might cost $12,000 to install an electronic striker for the bell. County officials denied Brown's multiple requests for money, and in 2008 he decided to cut the cables and lower the bell's two-600 pound counterweights to the ground.
Now the price tag for an electronic striker has fallen to $8,000, and Brown thinks the county can raise that money through community donations.
County officials said Brown's plans leave some questions unanswered, including how the city's Boardman neighborhood might take to a new toll on their area.
"If a person goes around the neighborhood, he's going to find people who want the chime again, but there's going to be just as many who want it to stay quiet," county Commissioner Sonny Wheellock said.
Two women who can see the courthouse tower from their respective front porches disagree about the chime's return.
Ruth Stow, a 26-year resident of the Boardman neighborhood, said she would donate money to restore the bell to its ringing glory.
Stow remembers the first time she heard the bell toll. She was making a bed in her then-new Washington Street home after spending the day unpacking boxes when she heard the 2 a.m. chime
"I thought, 'That's so cool'," Stow said.
Sharon Neumann has lived across the street from Stow for almost 13 years. Guests have asked Neumann about the bell's absence in recent years, but she likes the peace and quiet, and thinks the $8,000 restoration tab is too high.
"If it's that much I think there are better things we can spend our money on," Neumann said.
Electronic strikers can be programmed to stop ringing at night and can play special chimes for ceremonies and events.

The liver is located in the right side of the abdomen. It stores and metabolizes nutrients. It also filters and stores blood. Liver cancer is the growth of cancer cells in the liver.
Cancer occurs when cells in the body divide without control or order. If cells keep dividing uncontrollably, a mass of tissue forms. This is called a growth or tumor. The term cancer refers to malignant tumors. These tumors can invade nearby tissue and spread to other parts of the body.
The cause of liver cancer is not known. Research shows that certain risk factors are associated with the disease.
Factors that may increase you chance of liver cancer include:

Home sales for 2012 in Northeast Ohio increased 13.4% over home sales in 2011. The increase represents the highest level in the past four years, this is one of the strongest indications that the real estate market is recovering.
Higher sales and a shrinking supply of available homes pushed prices up in 2012 and experts expect more improvement in 2012. Continuing low interest rates and "pent-up" buyer demand will be the leading factors for continued improvement in market sales.
Statewide sales increased 12.7% - so the news is good across our state.
The local stats indicate a slow and steady growth for the five counties of Cuyahoga, Geauga, Lake Lorain and Medina, however sales have not reached 2000 levels.
Nationwide sales increased in 2012, reports indicate that an estimated 4.65 million homes changed hands, the highest level for the past 5 years. Nationally many markets continue to report low inventory, the National Association of Realtors report that it would take just 4.4 months to sell all of the available US Homes at the current buying pace.
Prices are inching up and 2012 marked the return of bidding wars and fierce competition for the best homes in Northeast Ohio. However the housing bust wiped out nearly a decade of price growth in the Cleveland area, many homeowners remain stuck in house or condos that re worth less than the debt they carry. Sales of bank-owned properties, though a dwindling share of the market, continue to weigh on home values.
If 2013 is the year you plan to make a real estate move, contact me and let's discuss the value of your home, you may be pleasantly surprised.

New Qt Version 4.3.4 under GPLv3
Trolltech is releasing version 4.3.4 of its GUI library under the version 3 of the GPL. Apart from this the makers of Qt have simply fixed bugs in the release.
The Norwegian software company removed various bugs in its class library that had led to crashes. For example, certain fonts had caused the X Window system to crash, and directories in the QFile dialog went on strike if they were simultaneously hidden and the current working directory. The QSsl socket was affected by a certificate validation vulnerability. More details are available in the Release Notes.
The class library is available for downloading by Open Source developers under the GPLv3. The move from GPLv2 to GPLv3 is in line with the announcement made by the Trolltech CEO at the KDE Release Event mid-January. The download page has not been updated in this respect and still refers to GPL Version 2. On top of this, the library is not free for commercial implementations (dual licensing). Nokia took over the reins at Trolltech in January (as Linux Magazine reported).

Project Trico First Video Gets LeakedWednesday 20 May 2009 @ 9:13 pm | By Ivan 'Nahu' Lozano
What is it with leaking videos this week huh? Today's leak is the first video of Trico, the next project from Team Ico, the people behind Ico and Shadow of the Colossus. You know, both of those games were looked at like artsy masterpieces of gaming and on most reasons for this I agree. However this footage of Project Trico shows us an asian looking male, in this case a kid, wearing raggedy tribal-ish clothing in a world full of giant structures covered in moss. Sounds familiar?
There's even a giant furry creature you climb and also happens to be your companion, which will probably die at the end of the game after the developers try their hardest to make you bond with it. So you know… while the game does look impressive visually, specially the camera work, Team Ico is gonna need to step it up a notch on the originality factor lest they end up like Zelda: great games but really unoriginal.
Maybe if team Ico went with the complete opposite of their formula we could come up with something nice. Lets see, give us a girl, in a flat desert, with tiny little creatures that try to climb on top of her. You know that doesn't sound half bad!

LOCUST FORK — Locust Fork seemed to be in control early after a seven-run second inning, but St. Clair County came back with 10 runs in the last three innings to beat the Hornets 10-8 in a Class 4A area softball game Tuesday.
The Saints took the lead for good in the top of the seventh inning thanks to an error on a hard grounder hit to third base, allowing two runs to score. That came just after a bases-loaded walk tied the game at 8-8.
The Hornets (10-4, 3-3 area) started off fast when they scored two runs on a misplayed fly ball. Bailey McCay's double brought in two more runs, followed by run-scoring singles from Jamie Gail Hudson, Haley Glasscox and Anna Hood.
Locust Fork added a run in the third on a base hit by McCay.
But St. Clair came back with four runs in the fifth, led by an Ashley Johnson two-run double, plus two more in the sixth on an error and a ground-out.
McCay led the Hornets at the plate, going 2-for-4 with three RBIs.

Agriculture keeps advancing, adapting new technology to meet the needs of an increasingly global economy. Challenges have intensified as well – a lengthy drought, heavy precipitation and uncertain farm policies, to mention a few.
The University of Minnesota started the Farm Family of the Year program 33 years ago to recognize successful farm families for their impact on our economy and rural communities. This year, families from 76 Minnesota counties will be recognized for their contributions to agriculture, the economy, and rural communities at an Aug. 8 ceremony at Farmfest, the state's largest farm gathering.
I salute those selected as 2013 University of Minnesota farm families because they represent the ideals shared by all farm families. Minnesota farm families not only persist and endure, but they continually improve the way they manage the land and produce food for the world. Farm families keep pace with change and innovate, while juggling busy lives and unexpected challenges.
With August right around the corner, county fair season begins. Fairs provide us with an opportunity to learn and relax before we begin another harvest and school year. The fair contains a plethora of events, one could easily say "something for everyone." From carnival rides and games, tractor pulls, demo derbies, live music, and fun foods to the showing of prize livestock, garden vegetables, art or handiwork, homemade goods and more. There is much to do at the fair.
County fairs were first developed in the United States in the early nineteenth century. Agricultural reformers in Northeastern U.S. and the Agricultural Society organized these small fairs to promote modern farming. Originally, county fairs were developed as a way to educate and congregate farmers and the rural society. Fairs used this opportunity to show the newest farm equipment, the best of livestock breeds and crops; it provided valuable connections among farmers. Farming clubs and organizations such as 4-H and FFA are able to advocate their organization and teach youth about agriculture. Young girls and boys were encouraged to exhibit their arts and homemade products. New performers are introduced and farm businesses had the chance to advertise.
Submitted farm artifacts may be featured in "American Enterprise" for world to see
No one knows how much agriculture has evolved and transformed over time better than America's farmers. That's why the Smithsonian National Museum of American History is seeking farmers' help in telling stories of the innovation and experiences of farming and ranching across the United States.
Farmers are invited to share their personal stories about the ways innovation and technology have helped to continually improve the industry at www.americanhistory.si.edu. The museum is currently seeking stories, photographs and other memorabilia to feature in its upcoming "American Enterprise" exhibition, which will paint the picture of American business through agriculture, consumer finance, information technology/communication, manufacturing and retail/service.
"Agriculture continually evolves and has become extremely efficient and sustainable with the help of new technologies," says Sharon Covert, a farmer-leader on the United Soybean Board (USB), which recently committed a $1 million investment in support of the exhibition. "Sharing your stories and artifacts of agriculture's transformations will allow the public to see incredible strides the industry has made in order to provide food, feed, fuel and fiber for the rest of the world."
The Farm Service Agency County Office Committee is the most direct link between America's farm community and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. As a critical component of the day-to-day operations of FSA, elections for committee membership are crucial and it is important that every eligible producer take part. Elected by area farmers, the FSA county committees represent the best of government at the local level, bringing the resources and expertise of the U.S. Department of Agriculture to meet the needs of producers where they live - at home. The election for one-third of the national county committee system is approaching fast.
FSA's county committee system bears much of the responsibility for making national agriculture programs fit the needs and situations faced by local producers. Committees make decisions on commodity price support loans and payments; establishment of allotments, yields, and marketing quotas; conservation programs; incentive, indemnity and disaster payments for some commodities, and other disaster assistance.
The Stearns County Extension office located in St. Cloud will be on the move for the week of the 2013 Stearns County Fair.
The office will temporarily be relocating to the Stearns County Fairgrounds in Sauk Centre from Tuesday, July 30, through Sunday, Aug. 4. Normal business hours of 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday-Friday will return on Monday Aug. 5, in the St. Cloud office located in the Midtown Square Office Building at 3400 1st St North, Suite 103, St. Cloud, MN 56303.
The Stearns County Extension Office helps people access research-based knowledge from the University of Minnesota in areas such as agriculture, horticulture, youth development/4-H,
community nutrition and food safety. The local office also offers unique services such as soil testing for your garden, lawn and field; or the testing of pressure canner gauges in preparation for the canning season. Information can be accessed through one-on-one contact with an Extension educator as well as through the extensive online resources available at www.extension.umn.edu.

Traverse City Record-Eagle
---- — THOMPSONVILLE — Leader Milena Savich didn't have a great start Tuesday in the second round of the Michigan PGA Women's Open at Crystal Mountain Resort.
She missed the first five greens. But, in the end, she kept her spot at the top of the leader board.
"I held it together," she said after an even-par round of 72 on the Mountain Ridge course kept her at 4-under-par 140, and one shot ahead of Ohio's Inhong Lim, who shot 71 for 141. "It easily could have been 75 or something."
Those two will be in the final group in today's final round of the $40,000 tournament. They will tee off at 10:06 a.m.
The leader board is crowded at the top. After Savich and Lim, five golfers are at 142 and six more at 144.
Michigan State's Christine Meier is among the five at 142 after shooting a second consecutive 71. She is the low amateur in the field.
Also at 142 are Alaska's Brittany Bomar, who shot 70; Minnesota's Rachel Schmidt, who shot 73; and Colorado's Ashely Tait and Florida's Erica Popson, who each shot 69.
The 23-year-old Savich, a former University of Georgia golfer with one professional win (Suncoast Ladies Tour), said the last time she played in a final group was the 2010 Indiana State Amateur Championship. she won that event.
"I'm excited for the opportunity to get to do what I love," she said.
Savich said she held the lead for a second consecutive round because she stayed patient.
"I didn't hit the ball as well, but every time I made bogey, I came back with a birdie," she said. "I also made a long snake from above the hole on 14. It was like 30 feet and one out of a hundred of those go in. That helped out. It was a struggle, but I'm in the last group and that's great."
Lim, a 23-year-old native of Korea who went to high school in Melbourne, Australia, and ended up at Ohio State University, said being in the final group is a first-time thing for her as a professional.
"I will just try to stay in the moment on concentrate on each shot," she said. "I am going to just focus on my game because I can't do anything about what the other players do."

Discuss, motherfuckers!
Oct 24 2008
Discuss, motherfuckers!
Dr. Isis suspects that in 1977 Dr. Isis and PhysioProf were barely able to walk straight and were drooling all over themselves, except for completely different reasons.
Isn't "Best UK Punk Song" a bit like saying "best American American Football team"? I mean surely the "UK" is an unnecessary qualifier he asks, whilst lighting the blue touch paper and running for cover?
Tai haku, wrong! But given the constraints of UK, then obviously The Clash. "White Riot" has that classic 1,2,3,4 opening, though I'm also partial to "London's Burning".
London's Burning.
By the way, PPet al. — have you heard Cracker's country-twang version of White Riot? So wrong, yet so very right…
one of three. Not bad batting for a fucking yanks yanker
I woulda thunk you'd be all over
Dead Kennedys- Too Drunk to Fuck
We're gonna have a CalPunk best ever, so calm the fuck down.
NorCal or SoCal? It fucking matters, yo.
I bought my nine-year-old a Buzzcocks CD, so I'm partial.
Out of those 3, White Riot for sure! Although if you put a different Pistols song in there I might have some trouble picking.
Like God Save the Queen…
Doh, reading skills impaired by kräusened malt beverages.
Carry on.
Yo, Smiley. Since you're the expert on Regional Cal Punk, how about you nominate some NoCalPunk and SoCalPunk candidates?
After a few Jamesons, Comrade PhysioProf has listened to each of these songs. The official Comrade PhysioProf-endorsed winner is Breakdown. The uncontrollable frenzy beats the other two.
Tai haku, you were hoping someone would take the UK v. NYC bait eh? Well hook, line and sinker right here.
The Ramones are the godfathers of punk and it all started right here in the US of A my friend.
Course, The Clash bested everyone so quickly that most forgot all about the history lesson and pogoed our hearts out.
The Buzzcocks were always the ones with the best melodies.
I love the Pistols just for the sheer balls to take a major label deal and give them one album (just barely) before spending all the money and going down in flames.
The clear winner though is The Clash. They made ME want to make my own punk rock music.
I'm so booored with the U. S. A.
Awww. I came too late for the opening acts!
Yeah, I'll agree with Comrade PhysioProf's choice of Breakdown as the best(as offered)of the UK Big 3, and here's my plug for the West Coast:
SoCal: Black Flag – Rise Above
NorCal: The Avengers – The American In Me http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wSzfozcNajI&feature=related
TruNor: Subhumans – No Productivity or D.O.A.'s – I'm Right You're Wrong, neither of which have video…
So I offer a compromise:
and a history lesson:

An illness that killed three people and made 14 ill in 11 states and the District of Columbia has prompted the recall of an imported ricotta salata cheese, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced on its website Tuesday.
Forever Cheese Inc. on Monday voluntarily recalled one lot of Frescolina brand ricotta salata cheese due to Listeria monocytogenes contamination, the CDC said.
Ricotta salata is dry and crumbly, not the soft ricotta used in lasagna, according to a U.S. News report.
Listeriosis is a foodborne bacterial illness that can be severe. One person in Pennsylvania was sickened in this case so far.
The cheese was sold to distributors for retail stores and restaurants in California, Colorado, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Montana, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Washington between June 20 and August 9, the FDA said.
Officials did not specify which stores sold the cheese.
The recalled packages carry:
- Lot number T9425 and/or
- Production code 441202
Anyone who bought recalled Frescolina ricotta salata cheese should discard any remaining cheese and not eat it. Pregnant women, those with a weakened immune system, and older adults are at higher risk of getting sick.
Consumers who bought the cheese should contact the seller for a refund. For more information, call Jeff DiMeo at Forever Cheese (888) 930-8693 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Eastern time and mention "recall."

By Patrick Cacchio on April 7, 2012
Duke Head Coach David Cutcliffe has built a reputation of producing NFL quarterbacks throughout his career. In truth, his offenses have produced nearly as many NFL running backs, including players like Jamal Lewis, Deuce McAllister and Arian Foster. This fall, the Blue Devils should feature one of their deepest backfields in recent years, headlined by […]

Living beyond our means may be an accepted lifestyle practice in America, but what does it really mean to you? According to a recent poll, 61 percent of Americans always or usually live paycheck to paycheck. Sobering but not surprising, Americans, on average, own about four credit cards and carry nearly $16,000 worth of debt across those cards. We are laden with car loans, school loans, mortgages and credit lines. We habitually buy houses we can't afford, take vacations using credit, and deny ourselves virtually nothing. We pay for gas, food and medicine with credit layered with steep interest rates, and many among us are fully acclimated to meeting our most basic needs with money we don't have.
While middle aged Americans are scrambling to educate their children, care for aging parents and save for retirement, it seems an impossible numbers game. Living within our means is something people used to do, as a matter of practical course. The habits of those who live within their means are responsible and respectible and worthy of resurrection. Carefully choosing the right house is a huge piece of the debt puzzle. Doing the math to determine what you can ACTUALLY afford is key. And since we all know that the mortgage is just one cost associated with homeowning, consider all the numbers: property taxes, homeowners association fees for condos, heating, cooling and other utility costs, insurance, and home repair to name the big players.
While there is something for everyone when it comes to home buying, especially with such a rich local inventory, once you know what you can reasonably afford, it's time to start shopping!
Whatever your age, downsize in style in this wonderful two bedroom ranch style condo in Durham offering 1064 square feet in a private end unit. One of 8 units in the Wellington complex, this pristine home shares 8 acres for an expansive and private property, yours to enjoy. Inside, a great open layout capitalizes on a dose of formality with a classic living room with fireplace and cathedral ceilings and dining room. The open eat-in kitchen serves up quality with plenty of solid oak cabinets and tiled floor. Relish your downtime from the fabulous sunroom where rustic barn board charm marries chic contemporary style and views to celebrate spring, summer and fall. Carefree living starts here with no worries when it comes to yard work, snow clearing and more. Other great features include central air conditioning, attached garage, full basement for all your storage needs, and a great, quiet Durham location at 79 Stage Coach Road with access to District 13 Schools.

TOMMY for the Knuth family — NE
Ten years ago, Grace never would have believed she would one day be a single, adoptive mother, let alone a mother to two children with special needs. But God, in His goodness and wisdom, has filled her life with challenge, purpose, and LOVE.
Grace is blessed to be on staff at her home congregation. She serves the Lord as a disciple who makes disciples who makes disciples of Jesus Christ. What she likes best about her job is that God does all the work! For four years she has been given a front row seat to watch Him draw people to Himself and make them new.
That same mighty, life-changing God has also been at work in Grace's heart and home. He is continually proving Himself strong and faithful on her behalf. His best and most miraculous work so far was in the recent adoption of her first child, Samantha Love. Sam came home last year from an orphanage in Eastern Europe where she was abused, neglected, and unloved. Both mother and daughter have been changed forever by the miracle of her redemption. Now, with room and love to spare, Grace knows it is only right that she extend that love to another child.
"Tommy" has been living in Sam's former orphanage for 13 years. It's time for his miracle. His redemption! Grace and Sam cannot wait to bring him home.
Adoption is a spiritual battle field. If you believe in the power of prayer, Grace would welcome you to join her in praying for "Tommy", his orphanage, and this adoption process. And if you are so led, she and Sam would be blessed by your partnership in raising "Tommy's" ransom.

Airing Grievances With Restroom Odors
According to a recent Harris Interactive poll, as many as 94 percent of facility patrons are unwilling to return to an establishment if the restrooms are unsanitary; therefore, achieving a competitive edge begins with cleanliness.
The Difficulty Of Keeping Restrooms Clean
Since restrooms can potentially harbor these bacteria and viruses, it is critical that they be cleaned regularly and correctly to maintain a clean appearance and remain odor-free.

Here's what I love about January: Thanks to the tradition of resolutions, it's essentially a clean slate.
It's a time to make lists, think about personal goals and reset the clock for dieting, home organization and anything else that you slacked on in 2012.
I interviewed a couple recently who explained they didn't make resolutions. Instead, they compiled an annual list of "unresolved issues" around their house that they wanted to get to in the upcoming months.
I told them that I really liked that idea, and the top of my list would include something like, "Put away Christmas decorations before President's Day." (Last year, I had all of the decorations packed on New Year's Day, but it took weeks for those totes to make it from the hallway onto shelves in the garage.)
Anyway, call them unresolved issues, resolutions, goals or just dreams, here's what I'm hoping to accomplish in 2013:
1. Take better care of No. 1.
This is a big one, and it goes beyond reducing that scary number on the bathroom scale.
Yes, of course, I want to eat better, exercise more and fit into smaller, cuter clothes for summer vacation.
But I also want to do a better job taking care of those body maintenance issues like visiting the dentist before it's one of those I-think-my-face-is-going-to-fall-off emergencies.
I don't seem to have a problem getting my kids to their medical and dental checkups. But I need to do a better job getting my appointments on the calendar, as well.
2. Be more realistic and embrace, or at least accept, that our house is going to be a little (sometimes a lot) messy.
I've had countless resolutions in the past about getting more organized, doing a better job at cleaning the house and staying on top of chores. And where did it get me? It made me stressed, crabby and disappointed. It turns out you can buy all of the laundry hampers and toy organizational systems you want, but just having them in your house doesn't mean habits will easily change, well, at least in our house.
I don't want to totally give up, and end up on a reality show about hoarders, or something. But I've also decided to stop pressuring myself into thinking it's possible to maintain a perfectly kept house with three kids, two black labs who are convinced they belong indoors as much as possible, a career and a busy life that revolves around my kids' sports and activities that are outside of our home.
Instead, I've decided to change my attitude about housework. Do I really need to have a spotless house before I invite friends over for coffee? (In the past, I'd say yes, and then hate that I never had a house clean enough to have friends over.) Do I really need to profusely apologize if a friend or relative drops by unannounced and sees toys and clothes all over the floor, and dishes in the sink? Most friends who drop by would know anyway that my house is only super clean for special occasions or, ahem, when I think my mother-in-law might stop by for a visit.
I've always been envious of one of my friend's absolutely immaculate houses, and she recently let it slip that she has professional help. And she mentioned that her house once looked just like mine when her boys, who are now college-age, were my sons' ages. It made me feel like there is hope for me to have a clean house, some day. It also was a good reminder that if I ever have enough money, maybe I could hire a housekeeper.
3. Speaking of money, I want to continue trying to cut expenses, create a healthy savings and live on a budget that is within our means.
During the past three years, my husband and I have come a long way, and, thankfully, we're no longer buying groceries with a credit card on that last week before a payday. But we can still do better.
I am constantly in awe of the creative ways people find to save money.
I've done some couponing and recently saved 25 percent on my grocery bill. But I want to get that grocery bill down even lower.
I also want to find ways to make better use of our leftovers and throw away less food.
I recently began buying milk when it's on sale, and freezing it, a tip that I learned from a website about saving money. All you do is open the jug, remove about a half cup, put the lid on, put it in a plastic sack in case it leaks and set it upright in the freezer. It takes about two days in the refrigerator to thaw out, and you'll have to shake it up before each use. Since we use lactose-free milk, which can be $7-$8 a gallon, it's really helped us save money when we can buy it on sale for $4-$6 a gallon. And my kids say they can't taste the difference.
I also am trying to replace my daily stop at a coffeehouse with espresso that's made from home – but that's one of those habits I'll need to ease into once all of my gift cards from Christmas are spent. I've done the math, and I know that it's a luxury that I need to scale back on.
It's still early, but I'm feeling pretty good about the progress on my New Year's goals. If you would like to share your resolutions or tips that might help me do a better job keeping mine, please email them to firstname.lastname@example.com, or add a comment to this story at theolympian.com/busymama.Lisa Pemberton is one busy mama, raising three children while working as a reporter at The Olympian.

Rated 3.5 out of 5Â by 28 reviewers.
Women's adidas Running Apparel
2014 Boston Marathon Sequencials Top
Glow Orange (D87169)
Size Chart
+ Save To Wishlist
Rated 2 out of 5Â by CK Not for cold windy days Shirt has THINLY lined fleece in a criss-cross pattern; so the wind goes right through it. Must layer over a warm T-neck for cold, windy winter runs. Was disappointed it wasn't like the 2011 model, which is windproof and has SOLID fleece lining (which I hoped this would be also; it's not). Color is high-vis = good road safety. Runs long in sleeves and torso. Am keeping it only because it's the only thing I'm buying from the Addidas line for 2014. Was surprised they chose orange; after what happened last year I thought for sure they would have a patriotic color scheme of red, white & blue.....or "Boston Strong" printed on the shirt somewhere. January 23, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Katlyn Soft and warm Super cute shirt, it is more day-glo orange than appears online but is very pretty. When unzipped there is blue material that exposes adding nice contrast detail. Interior is light quilted fleece making it very soft and warm and includes thumb holes. Love this shirt! December 7, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by FirstBoston Comfy I love this shirt, fit is perfect and it's warm and soft on the skin. I'm so grateful to be running my first Boston, I'm baffled by the negativity on the selected color scheme. To me, the least important element of Boston 2014 has got to be what color the official gear is! I'm running for one of the hospitals that cared for the survivors in April, and I will be thrilled to rock these colors! December 22, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Patty P adidas rocks! I love the subtle inverted quilted lining. It is buttery soft. The fit compliments my physique. I'm pleased with the thumb holes, which keep me warm down to my fingertips. The orange body and blue contrast make this an attractive, yet functional top. Thank you, adidas! December 28, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5Â by Boston Runner 2014 2014 deserves better than this I was excited to see what Adidas would produce for the 2014 Boston Marathon and then I saw the violent shade of orange they chose. I received this top as a gift and was very disappointed in it instantly. The quality of it is so poor that I did not think it was actually made by Adidas until I was given the receipt for it. I must say that the sizing of it though is great. As a 5'6" 100lb female it can difficult to find things that are small enough and this d's runs true to fit. But I would think twice before buying anything else from this years line. December 29, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5Â by 4th times a charm Like it but it won't last Love the color and the fit. It is also very cozy.Unfortunately it is not made like a $65 jersey should be made. Very light and almost cheap. The color on the fingers gives it a good look but that is all.The finger hole placement did not match up with my fingers comfortabaly. The shirt was pulled in a few places when I rec'd it and I had to cut off a few strings to make sure that the runs did not travel. It noticed some pills after the very first wash. I don't think it will stand up to long runs and lots of washing. I may reserve it for pajama wear. March 14, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Marathon Mama Great running top This is a size true day glow orange top...it is colorful and the Boston Marathon logo is subtle but noticeable. The thumbholes are always welcome and the top fits nicely with or without a running shirt underneath. So proud to wear it even with a pair of jeans~ January 9, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Love2Travel Love it I love this shirt. It is comfortable, with thumb holes and a color that I know I can be seen in when out on the roads. This is the best product I bought. December 29, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5Â by Boston Bound! Returned Immediately... After reading the poor reviews on the celebration jacket, I thought this shirt would be a great alternative. I was wrong. The fabric is cheap and the fit is terrible. The color, I can't even begin to describe this hideous color, just know it is no where near what is shown in the picture. I was so disappointed that I sent it back the next day. Not worth $65. Save your money! April 9, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5Â by GSQ Rider Brighter but not better than it looks It's such a bright orange (i.e. day glow) that you may not even need a safety vest for PM running :) I was also expecting a slightly heavier weight/better quality item. It's so thin that you can read printed T-shirts through it. I've worn it 3 times and it has already started to pill. It's also longer than I expected but I'm only 5'3 so maybe I should've expected this April 8, 2014

I wear patent leathers in for court. I think it projects a more professional appearance.
I've seen some of the Deputies come into court with their shirts almost pulled out of their pants, mud caked dull boots and nylon web gear that is frayed and mud caked. My opinion is that looks sloppy as hell on the street but to wear that in court?

A clean uniform, worn but well cared for leather and boots projects far more professionalism than a drill instructor spit shine and a stick-up-your-butt march into the courtroom.
But that's just my opinion. Your mileage may vary.
Maybe I'm just "old school", but I firmly believe that you can have the cleanest uniform in town with creases you can cut yourself on, but if your shoes/boots don't reflect light, you're not "all you can be".
Maybe it's a result of eight years in the Marine Corps, where we had to put a spit shine on boots that started out as a "rough out" type material (not smooth leather).
Used to piss me off to watch a Lt. I had on motors years ago. His idea of polishing his MC boots was (I tell you true) spray 'em with Armor All, and wipe 'em down. One of the laziest SOB's I ever knew.
Without shined/polished footwear you just do not have a professional appearance.
That's my story and I'm stickin' to it.
Oops, gotta go. Have to polish my boots for work tomorrow.
<EDIT> Might add that with almost twenty-two years active service, and another fifteen as a Reserve Deputy prior to that, I passed rookie status a loooong time ago. I STILL feel that a professional appearance is important. Apparently my Supervisors must think so too, since I always get high marks for appearance on my annual performance evaluations. (No brag - just fact.)
