Subsidies and High Crop Prices
Not everyone is a fan of the commodity boom. Some blame federal policy for higher feed and food bills.
The boom in agricultural commodity prices has been good for many farmers and companies providing farm products. But other groups—including food producers and consumers—are feeling the negative effects of the boom in the form of higher prices. What especially irks some of them is their belief that these prices are not simply the inevitable product of the marketplace but rather the unintended consequence of several U.S. government policies.
Even some farmers are unhappy. As grain prices rise, so does the price of livestock feed. As a result, beef, pork, poultry, and dairy farmers are incurring record-high feed costs. According to Cal Dooley, president of the Grocery Manufacturers Association, about 40 percent of the cost of producing pork, for example, comes from feeding the livestock.
That hits consumers, too: A May 2007 study by Iowa State University economists found that "the direct effect of higher feed costs is that U.S. food prices would increase by a minimum of 1.1 percent over baseline level."
What's causing grocery bills to rise? Some blame policies that have made it especially profitable for farmers to divert their crops into corn for the production of ethanol. "The ethanol industry is hogging more and more of the corn supply, and that is squeezing ranchers and dairy farmers," says Daniel Griswold, director of the Center for Trade Policy Studies at the Cato Institute, a Washington, D.C., think tank.
The federal government gives preferential treatment to domestic, corn-based ethanol in the form of a 54-cent-per-gallon tax on imported ethanol, which largely affects Brazilian producers of ethanol from sugar cane. That tax comes on top of a 51-cent exemption from the federal excise tax on gasoline that goes to fuel mixed with ethanol.
These subsidies raise the demand for domestic ethanol. That drives up the price of not only the corn used to produce the ethanol but also of wheat and soybeans, which farmers plant less of because they switch to corn. That, in turn, translates into a scarcer supply—and higher prices.
Dooley says the net impact is bad for the food producers he represents. "For most American farmers, they're producing commodities—they're seeing their best years ever. But for farmers that have to feed grains and corn to livestock, they're seeing very tough times.... The [ethanol] policy is having a significant adverse impact on a significant sector of our agriculture, while I admit it is helping some farmers."
These higher costs are also seen in consumers' grocery bills, and that has made ethanol subsidies an issue in Washington. Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York this month proposed legislation that would end the 54-cent-per-gallon tariff as a way to stop a spike in milk prices. "There are a lot more milk consumers than ethanol producers in New York. He's hearing an earful from his constituents," Griswold says of Schumer.
Not everyone agrees that ethanol subsidies are to blame for the commodity boom. "I don't think [the tariff] drives corn prices at all," says Harry Baumes, an official in the Department of Agriculture chief economist's office. "If anything, I would argue that if you have a demand for ethanol, and you're looking at the various sources, if you could produce more from domestic sources, it's actually a little cheaper."
Economic analysts are quick to note that government subsidies are certainly not the only—and probably not even the biggest—driver of rising agriculture commodity prices. Other factors include growing international demand. But Dooley says that price pressure from subsidies is still unnecessary.
"The bottom line is that it shouldn't be dictated by tax subsidies. It ought to be dictated by market forces," Dooley says. "Then you would have every bushel of corn treated the same. You would allow the market to determine how corn would be utilized. Right now, it's not a level playing field."
But don't hold your breath for changes in Washington's ethanol policies. "People have drunk too much of this ethanol, and they're taking a distorted view of the benefits, and are totally oblivious to the adverse impacts of those policies," Dooley says.

So while researching some info for a mothership post for tomorrow, I came across something rather interesting, and something which I thought I might bring out over here for discussion purposes, if you guys don't mind.
Now I've written in the past that Tom Hicks and Hicks Sports Group are having some financial problems and that Hicks has decided to deliberately default on his debt. He has placed a majority interest in the Texas Rangers up for sale, and he has placed a minority interest in the Dallas Stars up for sale. Now we're being told that everything is a-ok with the Stars, and that the team has no financial problems and will make it through the season fine.
And that could be so, but...
It is now being reported in Dallas that Major League Baseball is effectively running the Texas Rangers, going so far as to step into negotiations between the team and a draft pick and withdrawing an offer that the team had made and substituting a substantially lower offer at the signing deadline because other MLB owners thought the offer was too high.
I'm not sure of what exactly this means for the Stars, but I've really got to question just how stable the Stars really are.

Who's their back-up, Joe Webb?
The Journal Sentinel's team of Packers beat writers provide the latest news, notes and analysis
Injury report: Packers' WR's probable, Ponder/Winfield questionable
Green Bay --- For the first time in months, it appears the Green Bay Packers will have their top four wide receivers together at once. The injury reports for both Green Bay and Minnesota were released Friday with minimal surprises. Both Randall Cobb and Jordy Nelson are listed as probable, while running back James Starks -- who has played the role of Adrian Peterson this week -- is questionable.
For Minnesota, quarterback Christian Ponder and cornerback Antoine Winfield are listed as questionable but are expected to play.
Here's the rundown:
Green Bay
- WR Jarrett Boykin (ankle)
- DE Jerel Worthy (knee)
- RB James Starks (knee)
- WR Randall Cobb (ankle)
- WR Jordy Nelson (knee)
- TE Jermichael Finley (quad)
- RB Alex Green (knee)
- CB Tramon Williams (illness)
- S Charles Woodson (collarbone)
- LB Tyrone McKenzie (shoulder)
- QB Christian Ponder (right elbow)
- CB Antoine Winfield (hand)

Ponder is "questionable"?
Who's their back-up, Joe Webb?Hide replies
EIther Joe Kapp or Gary Cuozzo
I read earlier that he has a sore right elbow. Maybe CMIII can hang on it while he's trying to throw early in the game and "straighten it out" for him.
I think Frazier's trying to mess with the Packers' heads.....LOLHide replies
He might be, I did think of that. But questionable truly is meant to mean a 50% chance of playing, so with both Ponder and Winfield listed that way, theoretically one of them should be out.
I hope it is Winfield being out if that is the case, Pman. Scoring points should not be an issue for Rodgers and co. 34 last week should have been plenty. When Winfield went out, our production on the O side went up. If Ponder is out, they might just wild cat it and let AP take it all day long...he doesn't need ponder
Belichick used to list Brady as "questionable", just to screw with the press......LOL
Ponder will obviously play, but I like the idea of really dialing up the pressure to get repeated qb hits. That hand/elbow can only take so much before it starts throwing the ball to our guys. Go Pack!Hide replies
Agreed!!! go get em boys
Go after him like a pack of wild dogs......
Boy, you guys have been posting typos all week
Woodson awesomeness
I hope Ponder plays, Joe Webb is a really good runner! Then again just play the game like you want to win, no Suh-pid penalties, no dropped balls, picks when they present themselves, and a few sack, and it's all good!

It is common that we need to connect several devices (for example, a disc player, a set-top box and a game console) to the TV. And there are a number of connection methods available, such as HDMI connection, component cable connection, and composite cable connection, etc). Sometimes it may be difficult to decide the connection method for a device.
Different connection method gives different video quality. For example, HDMI connection offers better video quality than component cables connection does. It would be an ideal case if we can connect to all devices using the connection method that offers the best quality. However, in reality it is often not possible because the number of jacks for connection is limited. For example, there are only 2 HDMI jacks on some TV models.
As a result, we have to decide how to allocate the connection method for different devices. This decision depends on the picture quality you want when using that device. For example, if you play video games more often than playing a movie, you may want to reserve the HDMI connection for the game console, and use component cables for connecting the player to the TV.
Common connection methods are as follows:
|Connection / Cable used
|Signal transmission
|HDMI cable version 1.4
|Audio and video
|Gives video quality with 1080p
|Component cables
|Gives video quality with 1080i
|S-Video cable
|Gives video quality with 480i
|Composite cable (yellow)
|Gives video quality with 480i
|Composite cable (white and red)
|For the "L" and "R" audio jack
|Optical audio cable
|For "Optical IN" jack
|AUX cable
|3.5mm audio plug for "AUX IN" jack
The general rule is, first take a look of the TV and see the numbers of different connection jacks available. Then allocate the connection method that offers the best signal quality (usually the HDMI) to the device that you use the most.
Philips has especially created for you an interactive guide to connect different audio-visual devices. Visit http://www.connectivityguide.philips.com/ for more guidance.

Molecular Medicine Partnership UnitResearch Groups
Cell biology and disorders of cholesterol homeostasis
Rainer Pepperkok and Heiko Runz
Heiko Runz and Rainer Pepperkok
Project Summary
Our research interest aims to identify and functionally characterize novel factors regulating cellular cholesterol metabolism. Our long-term goals are a better molecular understanding of elevated blood cholesterol levels (hypercholesterolemia) and Niemann-Pick Type C (NPC) disease with the perspectives to develop novel diagnostic and therapeutic tools. The experimental approaches we use are (i) identification of candidate genes by disease related gene expression analyses, (ii) cell biological characterization of candidate genes with respect to cholesterol metabolism and (iii) analysis of possible gene defects in patient samples.
Cholesterol levels in animal cells need to be tightly balanced. Within recent years, a network of proteins has been identified that keep cellular cholesterol levels to narrow limits. The concerted interplay of these proteins confers that reduced levels of membrane-bound cholesterol may activate the expression of genes necessary to increase cholesterol levels in cells, e.g. by uptake of low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-bound cholesterol or cholesterol biosynthesis. It is, however, assumed that only a limited number of proteins involved in cellular cholesterol regulation have been identified to date.
- To better understand the basic molecular and cell biological mechanisms of cellular cholesterol regulation.
- To understand the role of the candidate genes in patient samples and cell models of human disease.
- To combine the cell biological and genetic studies for improving diagnostic tools and maybe opening novel therapeutic strategies.
Research Focus 1: Identification of genes predisposing hypercholesterolemia
One project that we are focussing on is the identification of genes pre-disposing for elevated blood cholesterol levels (hypercholesterolemia), a major risk factor for atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease. Candidate genes with a putative role in hypercholesterolemia are first identified by microarray-based gene expression analyses in cells with different cholesterol load. A putative cell biological function of these candidates is then further characterized by using systematic RNAi-based gene knockdown experiments and automated microscopy. To this end we use the EMBL microscopy based RNAi-screening platform that allows cell-based loss-of-function studies at a high throughput. We have developed fluorescence-based assays by which cellular uptake of fluorescence-labelled low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and its dynamics can be analysed under high-throughput conditions.
Research Focus 2: Identification of novel regulators of Niemann-Pick Type C disease
In a second project we aim at the identification of novel regulators of Niemann-Pick Type C (NPC) disease. NPC disease is a rare autosomal-recessive lysosomal storage disease caused by mutations in the genes NPC1 or NPC2 that is typically accompanied by progressive impairment of nervous system and liver function. On a cellular level, the disorder presents with an inhibited transport of cholesterol and glycosphingolipids out of endosomal and lysosomal compartments, which we can visualize in cultured cells. Presently, we analyze if the knock-down of candidate genes leads to a cellular cholesterol distribution that resembles, aggravates or ameliorates the cellular NPC phenotype.

The year may only be less than two weeks old but already, 2012 is shaping up to host an outstanding twelve months of theatre, both community and professional, in the greater Naugatuck Valley region.
Believe it or not, there are no fewer than 14 different community theatre groups within a half-hour's drive of Naugatuck. There are also a handful of teen theatre companies, including Naugatuck's own Teen Theatre. Then there are another half dozen or so professional theatres either hosting their own productions or touring companies.
That's a lot of theatre.
Over the next three months alone, local theatre patrons will be able to take in some classic old Broadway shows like "Guys & Dolls" (at Center Stage in Shelton in January) or "Blithe Spirit" at the Connecticut Cabaret in Berlin, as well as recent Broadway successes like "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee" opening this weekend at the Repertory Theatre in New Britain, or "Titanic" at the Warner Theatre in Torrington.
And that's just the community theatre, or non-professional, productions. In the coming months, theatre-goers will be able to dance in the aisles at Waterbury's Palace Theatre when "Mamma Mia!" returns later this month. The hit musical based on the movie "Shrek" comes to the Palace the following month.
Just down the road at Seven Angels Theatre, an Equity Theatre in the heart of the Naugatuck Valley, "Over the Tavern" returns this weekend, making up for some performances that had to be canceled by weather thanks to the freak Halloween snowstorm that crippled the state.
In addition to those professional houses, productions are underway at Hartford Stage (the hilarious "Boeing, Boeing" until Feb. 12) and TheatreWorks ("The Sty of the Blind Pig" opening January 20) in Hartford. In New Haven, a world premiere of "MacBeth 1969" begins on Jan. 18 at the Long Wharf Theatre. And looking ahead way past the winter, the state's jewel on the Connecticut River, the Goodspeed Opera House , will be packing them in when they produce the classics "Mame", "Carousel" and "Something's Afoot" this summer and fall.
Meanwhile, the community theatre circuit in this part of the state will be so busy, before you know it, spring training will sneak up on everyone. Besides the two musical smentioned above, two plays are opening locally this month. The Hole In The Wall Theatre in New Britain kicks off the calendar year with "Life X 3" opening Jan. 20. Additionally, "Writer's Cramp (Or How Will Shakespeare Got Into Show Business)" opens Jan. 21 at the Phoenix Stage Company, Naugatuck's own community theatre.
For the younger members of all things thespians, Naugatuck Teen Theatre is holding auditions for their upcoming show, "Seussical the Musical" on Sunday, Jan. 22 and Thursday, Jan. 26, at St. Michael's Parish Upper Hall at 7 p.m. That production is scheduled to go up in early May.
All of these community theatre productions use volunteers to put their shows on the stage. Community theatres give everyday people the chance not only to show their talents on stage, but also help out in so many other ways off the stage and behind the scenes.
"Without the volunteers, there is no community theatre," said co-founder and board member Ed Bassett. "True community theatre is 100 percent volunteer. And for every person on the stage in a given production, there are four more volunteers behind the scenes. Volunteers are the backbone of the community theatre world."
So if you're looking to escape the winter doldrums, take in a show. Or better yet, get involved in a community theatre. They are so many to choose from and assistance is always, always appreciated.

Bensalem police are confirming the death of two individuals in a house fire in the 2900 block of Marion Avenue in Bensalem.
According to police, passerby reported the fire around 3 a.m.
Eddington Fire Company, who had a crew stationed overnight, was able to respond within minutes along with other rescue personnel.
Firefighters entered the home and located two people lying on the floor. The victims were taken to Aria Torresdale Hospital, but later died. It appears that the residents may have attempted to extinguish the fire themselves with a garden hose.
As of now, the cause of the fire has been ruled electrical and appears to be storm related.
The victims were identified as Helen Markett, 95, and her daughter, Kathy Griffin, 64. Their pet dog also died in the fire.
The investigation is being handled by the Bensalem Fire Rescue Department and Bensalem Police.

The bulk of the attention will be in goal tonight in First Niagara Center when the Sabres host the streaking Columbus Blue Jackets.
Ryan Miller will start for the Sabres. He is seventh in the NHL with a .927 save percentage that is just shy of the .929 he posted in his 2010 Vezina Trophy season.
The Blue Jackets, meanwhile, did not skate here today in the wake of last night's 5-1 home win over Washington. I thought they had a decision to make between red-hot starter Sergei Bobrovsky or backup Curtis McElhinney, even though he is 0-2 in his career against the Sabres with a 4.29 goals-against average and .879 save percentage.
But shortly after noon, the team tweeted that Bobrovsky -- the reigning Vezina winner -- will be back in net tonight. The Jackets don't play again until Tuesday and Bobrovsky is 6-0, 1.37 and .955 in his last six starts so you can see that reasoning. (An aside: If you don't play your backup against the offensively-challenged Sabres, when are you going to play him?)
With Anaheim losing last night in Chicago, Columbus now owns the NHL's longest winning streak (5) and the Jackets will be trying to tie a franchise record set in 2006 with a win tonight. They're 12-6-1 in their last 19 games and 6-1 in January -- in the seven games since Nathan Horton made his debut in the lineup from offseason shoulder surgery. During the five-game win streak, they've outscored opponents, 20-9, and tallied at a 26.3 percent clip on the power play.
The surprise may have actually been the Jackets' 5-10 start, or their 14-17-4 mark in mid-December. Let's not forget they finished last season on a 19-5-5 run and barely missed the playoffs in the Western Conference, losing the last spot on a tiebreaker to Minnesota. Now in the East, and a member of the Metropolitan Division, Columbus is three points out of the playoffs in both the division standing and the ultra-tight East wild-card race.
As per usual, Sabres interim coach Ted Nolan had little to say about the opponent. Even one going as well as Columbus is right now.
"We have a big coaching staff here that analyzes and looks at the opposition and gives their strengths," Nolan said. "My main focus right now is to make sure we're playing the way we're capable of playing. Hopefully we can play the way we're capable and take away some of the stuff they're doing well."
What Buffalo is doing well is lately is finding a way of getting points (6-1-2 in the last nine games at home and 7-4-5 in the last 16 overall). But the Sabres are just 5-9-1 in their history against Columbus, including a 4-1 loss here on Oct. 10.
Marcus Foligno will return after missing a game due to an undisclosed injury and will replace Matt D'Agostini, who is now on the shelf with an upper-body injury suffered Wednesday in Toronto.
Linus Omark will remain a healthy scratch for the Sabres as Nolan is keeping the fourth line of John Scott, Matt Ellis and Zenon Konopka together after Ellis scored against the Leafs (he was profiled by Amy Moritz today).
The speedy Omark, who has no goals in 10 games but has clearly improved his play of late, isn't a fourth-liner by skill set anyway and needs to improve his game enough so he can be on the third line.
"To put him where John Scott goes or Ellis goes doesn't make too much sense,' Nolan said. "Those guys are energy guys. They play the body. They bring a different element to our team. Omark is not one of those types."

African business, politics and lifestyle
Colonial borders. Does Africa have a choice?
The lines of Europe's carve up of Africa were finally taking shape. On March 11, 1913, Britain and Germany agreed who got which bits of a swampy corner of the continent that few in either of the cold and distant countries had heard of.
Two states that did not exist at that time put the border agreement into effect again on Thursday with Nigeria formally handing over the Bakassi peninsula to Cameroon.
That followed a ruling by the World Court in 2002 for which both countries supplied copies of yellowing colonial-era documents to justify claims to territory that had brought them to the brink of war.
Neither might have had as much interest had it not been for the expectation that there is oil there, but it again highlighted Africa's commitment to colonial borders drawn without consideration for those actually living there.

By Mike Harrington
TORONTO -- It was a wild night in the Air Canada Centre and outside in Maple Leaf Square as the Leafs posted a 2-1 win over the Boston Bruins to force Game Seven Monday night in TD Garden.
Be sure to read my column in Monday's editions of The News about the great atmosphere surrounding Game Six, which was the Leafs' first home playoff win since 2004 and first against Boston since 1959 (!). Click the two videos above for how things looked outside when the two goals were scored.
Here are some other random thoughts I have after Game Six:
James Reimer: He did a great job in goal for the Leafs. In position, control in the crease, few rebounds. Roberto Luongo even tweeted "Reims4Sochi" after the game. Told about that, Reimer joked, "He becomes a friend right away I guess."
Star power: Phil Kessel and Dion Phaneuf scored goals. James van Riemsdyk had several good chances. Big edge for the Leafs as Boston's David Krejci had no shots on goal and Zdeno Chara was on the ice for both Leafs goals even though he played a game-high 28:26.
Injuries: Tyler Bozak, who scored the key short-handed goal for Toronto in Game Five, was a late scratch and is rumored to have a shoulder injury. Boston defenseman Andrew Ference also was a surprise scratch with some speculation about the flu. The return of either in Game Seven would make a big difference.
Momentum: The Leafs said afterward this game was already over in their minds and they were on to Game 7. And they'll be snug in their Boston beds ready to go. The Bruins, however, learned during Game Six there was a problem with their plane and they were stuck in Toronto overnight. They'll have to get up Monday, fly home -- and then play Game Seven Monday night. NHL teams never do that except on Dec. 26. To do it to play Game Seven of a playoff series? Very interesting to see the impact.
Second round: The Leafs-Bruins winner plays Monday night's Rangers-Capitals winner. So there's no advantage there. But Pittsburgh and Ottawa are collecting rest prior to opening their series and could stand to benefit longterm if either can win a short series.

Dramatic Turn: Tony Stewart's Triumph at Dover Surprises NASCAR Fans, Juan Pablo Montoya Claims Second
"Smoke" hasn't exactly had a magical start to the season. The three-time NASCAR Sprint Cup Champion – and his team – sputtered out of the gates this year with a mere two top ten finishes, a season-best seventh place result and no win since Daytona last July. This past weekend, however, Dover shattered that storyline. Powering past fellow Oakley driver Juan Pablo Montoya with three laps to go, Tony Stewart blazed his way to a glorious victory and effectively snapped his 30-race winless streak.

Big snow events require tons of salt.
"A county will go through 250 tons in a 24 hour period," said Jonathan Dobson of the Ky. Transportation Cabinet District 11 office in Manchester.
And after this latest snowfall that dumped nearly a half-foot of snow in parts of southeastern Kentucky Sunday, some state roads in Laurel, Clay, Harlan and other counties were not salted until Monday morning.
"And if we get into a situation were salt supplies are in decline, we will suspend treatment of secondary roads, so we do have enough for the interstates and parkways," said Dobson.
Officials said all main roads in Laurel County and most secondary routes were clear as of early Monday afternoon. This after 1600 tons of salt were delivered.
"That 1600 tons we are getting today will get us through the immediate term and orders are in place for future re-supplies," said Dobson.

Channel 7 has gone out West to find talent that it hopes will improve its prospects in the morning news wars.
Starting in early or mid-August, Cole Heath and Tiffany Lundberg will be the co-anchors of "Eyewitness News This Morning," replacing Patrick Taney and Ginger Geoffery.
According to Channel 7, Heath is a native of Arizona and graduate of the Cronkite School of Journalism at Arizona State and has recently worked as an anchor and reporter in Spokane, WA. and Joplin, Mo. He started his career in sports in Missouri.
Channel 7 said they both have ties to the Western New York area.
Mike Nurse, who officially takes over as the station's general manager in a few days, said he believed the new co-anchors were in the late 20s and acknowledged that the names Cole and Tiffany aren't typical of TV anchors or reporters in this area.
"They certainly stand out," said Nurse of the names. "Maybe that will be a strong plus. It is reflective of their age."
He said the plan wasn't to hire anchors in the younger demographic.
"It wasn't by design," said Nurse. "We were looking for a fresh start and something we could build with over time."
He said the two anchors were found with the help of agents. Channel 7 then brought them to Buffalo for a few days for interviews. He praised their energy level and said they both have a strong likability factor. Nurse realizes that Cole and Tiffany won't have it easy. Channel 7, which was the first station in the market to carry news in the morning, is a weak third now behind Channel 2's first-place "Daybreak" and Channel 4's second place "Wake Up!."
Besides changing anchors, Nurse said a new morning set will be revealed when Cole and Tiffany make their debut.
"We view it as a restaurant," said Nurse. "We're going to change the menu, spiff up the place and ask viewers to try it."
The station also has hired a new reporter to replace Kyla Igoe, who is leaving to work in her husband's videography business.
Jill Perkins, a native of Pittsburgh and graduate of Carnegie-Mellon, arrives from WJET-TV in Erie, Pa., where she was a reporter and fill-in anchor.
Taney is leaving at the end of July to become a morning anchor in Rochester. Geoffery is expected to stay at the station until her contract expires in October unless she gets a new job before then.

High-speed optical WANs are becoming indispensable for critical storage applications. Business continuance, remote mirroring and replication, and connecting regional data centers are all tasks that require optical WANs. With many optical options and prices, picking the best technologies and techniques to transport data is challenging.
Most storage apps are time-sensitive and require high throughput (bandwidth) and low latency with zero data loss. Effective bandwidth is a measure of how much of the available bandwidth can actually be used, taking into consideration dropped packets and retransmission due to congestion and protocol inefficiency. Some vendors, including Ciena Corp., Linthicum, MD, refer to effective bandwidth as "good put" vs. simply looking at a theoretical line speed number.
To pick a data transport to fit your needs, first consider your storage requirements:
- Distance. How far away do you need to keep a copy of your data?
- Bandwidth. How much data must be moved and in what timeframe?
- Cost. What's your budget?
- Recovery point objective. Can you afford data loss? At what point do you need to recover data from?
- Recovery time objective. How quickly do you need to recover?
- Latency. What are your applications' response time
- requirements?
When evaluating storage-over-distance network technology, keep the following items in mind:
- Throughput. How much bandwidth is available and how much is needed?
- Latency. What's the time delay and how does it impact the storage application?
- Packet loss. How much bandwidth is lost due to data retransmission?
- Variable bandwidth. What's the granularity of available bandwidth?
- Manageability. What are the networks' management capabilities, including diagnostics?
- Flexibility. Is the network service adaptable to changes in your storage environment and its locations?
- Resiliency. Are there diverse network paths, and does the network contain self-healing, rapid failover features?
- Budget. What are the initial upfront and recurring costs?

Beautifully designed silk bridal wedding bouquets ready for immediate shipping. Enter coupon code SAVE10 during July for 10% off your order.
My wedding bouquets arrived and I can not begin to tell you how happy I am with them. I must confess I was a little apprehensive ordering flowers for my wedding over the net so opening your package was a little nerve racking. My fiance was right there with the camera to take pre-wedding shots and that made it worse. I laughed, cried and literally danced with joy over each and every bouquet. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for providing your service! If I ever have the opportunity to share my good fortune in finding you with someone else, I will do so in an instant! -MaryMore Wedding Bouquet Reviews
I just received the order that I had placed for the bridal bouquets for my wedding and WOW am I impressed! I was very nervous ordering my wedding flowers online and even more so, going with silk wedding flowers. Even though my wedding isn't until September, I ordered the flowers well in advance just in case. I can't believe how beautiful the wedding bouquets look. They are exactly what I was hoping for. I am glad I found your company to offer me such beautiful wedding flowers at a knock-out price. I guarantee I will order from you again and so will my friends and family! -KayMore Wedding Bouquet Reviews
I ordered my wedding flowers from your company two weeks ago and I received them in great condition. I am very pleased with my wedding bouquets.

Keep up the great job! -MicheleMore Wedding Bouquet Reviews
I ordered my bridal bouquet from you for my August Wedding. I just wanted to say that it was better than I ever imagined.

I can't thank you enough for the quality work you produced with my wedding flowers. I placed an order with you in March and when I received my wedding bouquets I was flabbergasted.

I have gotten nothing but compliments on the flowers when people look at my wedding album. I have been giving out your website over and over to people getting married. -JanineMore Wedding Bouquet Reviews

Thank you so much and I plan on sending you some pics of my big day to show you how fantastic your flowers look!-RacquelleMore Wedding Bouquet Reviews
I ordered my wedding flowers for a September wedding. As with many of the testimonials I've read, I was somewhat apprehensive about ordering silk wedding flowers online especially given the low advertised cost. I ordered my entire wedding party flowers; my bridal bouquet, bridesmaids flowers, boutonnieres, corsages, flowers for the cake and petals for the flower girl and table decorations. My entire order arrived less than 2 weeks after my order date and they were in perfect condition. I kept them in their shipping box until the day of my wedding. We received rave reviews on the flowers. Well done! Thanks for taking the hassle out of wedding day flowers. I would definitely recommend TheBridesBouquet.com to any bride-to-be.-BeckyMore Wedding Bouquet Reviews
I just wanted to thank you for the wonderful wedding flowers! I had about a week until the big day and didn't have any wedding flowers. I was worring until I came across your website.

Art criticism is a discipline that when practiced well is as creative as making good art. The ability to place a work into a meaningful context and express a clear point of view regarding the success or failure of the work within that context by analyzing a wide range of elements that make up the work is not easy. I have actually seen some of this in your writing but I would like to see quite a bit more. Maybe someone else could do the reporting, the who,what, when, where and why stuff.
An online journal about visual art, the urban landscape and design. Mary Louise Schumacher, the Journal Sentinel's art and architecture critic, leads the discussion and a community of writers contribute to the dialogue.
The art criticism you've dreamed of (part 1)
Did anyone else notice what Ald. Nik Kovac said to the Public Works Committee of the Common Council on Tuesday morning, in addition to his eloquent plea for Janet Zweig's public art project? He said the debate has inspired some good journalism. It's not what I'm used to hearing about the press from our elected officials.
This reminded me of several discussions that have taken place recently about the state of art and arts criticism here.
In just one recent week, these things were on the agenda at a huge meeting held by the Cultural Alliance, a dialogue hosted by the Haggerty Museum of Art and workshops organized by the Milwaukee Artists Resource Network, including one I did on how artists and galleries can take more ownership of the dialogue about art in our city.
During the gathering at the Haggerty, where arts criticism and the work I do specfically came up continually, gallery owner and critic Deb Brehmer said that art doesn't exist in this town unless Mary Louise Schumacher covers it.
Let me tell you as clearly as I know how: Nothing could be further from the truth.
We have a growing diversity of voices on art in this town. I know of at least two efforts to get new online arts journals up and started. The Shepherd recently ran pieces on art by Curtis Carter, former director of the Haggerty, and Joel McNally. RadioMilwaukee is doing some thoughtful on-air stuff on art, as well as commentary at their blogs. There is, of course, WUMW's wonderful "Lake Effect," the brand new Third Coast Digest, Jonathan West's "Artsy Schmartsy" blog, Stacey Williams-Ng's work at Milwaukee Home and Fine Living, Mike Brenner's work for The Decider, and Paul Kosidowski's Culture Club. There are many local blogs, like Cricket Toes, and many local artists, like Mel Trittin, Kevin Miyazaki and Sonja Thomsen, have wonderfully thoughtful blogs. And there is a whole community of people like Michael Davidson and Gary John Gresl who invest time and effort to comment thoughtfully at my blog, the MARN listserv and elsewhere.
Shall I go on?
What I hope is becoming clear is that there is a spectrum of dialogue going on here that congeals online. Our win this week at City Hall was, in part, because of that unifying effect.
Sure, many of us are competitors, but there is an elegant give and take that is occurring more and more, too. We are pointing out one another's good work when we see it, effectively sharing our audiences. Online, we are a single, rich ecosystem filled with a diversity of ideas and approaches.
Not everyone agrees.
Milwaukee Magazine's editor Bruce Murphy, a latecomer to the dialogue about the Zweig project, wrote that I "breathlessly kept up with every blogger and windbag with an opinion," that the "explosion of Internet 'journalism' begins to resemble the spread of kudzu."
So, who are the windbags, exactly?
Murphy linked to one of my blog entries about the public art dialogue featuring the following: Radio Milwaukee, Melissa Musante of MARN, Jonathan Jackson of Milwaukee Film, Bobby Tanzilo of OnMilwaukee, Mike Brenner, Julia Taylor of the Greater Milwaukee Committee, Christine Harris of the Cultural Alliance, Gene Evans of Luckystar, Jason McDowell of OnMilwaukee, Mollie Boutell-Butler of Decider, David Reid of Urban Milwaukee, Mary Dally-Muenzmaier of the Cricket Toes blog, Jonathan West of the Artsy Schmartsy blog, Neil Hoffman (president) of MIAD, artist and critic for Milwaukee Magazine Tom Bamberger and Jim Stingl, Pat McIlheran and Tom Strini of the Journal Sentinel.
So, again, who exactly are the windbags?
(Murphy's summary was pretty good, by the way, though much of it had been previously reported and none of it did anything to answer the question it set out to -- what went haywire with the project. His cursory analysis of the art also didn't tell us how Zweig's work is different from any other public art to come along in 30 years. "Good reporting" would have meant covering the story since its inception, attending committee meetings and pointing out the importance of the project and that fateful April 1 meeting -- before the fact. Good reporting would have involved calling our civic and cultural leaders, who weren't paying attention, to account, before the fact.)
But Murphy and Brehmer make an understandable error, dismissing the value of online coverage, since so much of it devolves quickly and it can be tough to keep up with. This points out the value of a blog like Art City, where I actually weed out the windbags.
So, let me say this to those of you who spoke up at the Haggerty meeting, for those of you who want more substantive criticism: I do hear you.
I am constantly confronted by difficult choices and the reality that I can't cover many things that are worthy of coverage. The reality at newspapers is changing, and I have an increasing number of responsibilities.
Still, if every one of you who bemoaned the Journal Sentinel's insufficient arts coverage/criticism contributed one insightful idea or question to Art City a month, we would tomorrow have the online arts journal of our dreams. (There are some good models for this.)
You have the power and opportunity to influence the level of dialogue and to even set the agenda here at Art City. The reality of the way people consume media today is that it is a conversation, not a lecture. But the kind of conversation we have depends on who is participating and how.
My predecessor James Auer, who was rarely a hard nosed guy about anything, would hang up the phone quietly on people who deigned to complain without "taking the paper," as he used to put it. How many who complain subscribe to the paper today? How many who were at the Haggerty meeting read the news that broke that day about how the Journal Sentinel is downsizing its staff again?
So, whether you are a subscriber or not, but especially if you're not, how about making a contribution of ideas? There are many ways to do this, from the "Pitch Your Show" feature, to commenting to guest blogging.
Many of you know that I am part of an national experiment called BeatBlogging.org, a project of Jay Rosen, of PressThink and NYU. I have been talking with people one-on-one for about a year about building a network of "advisors," who would have a voice at Art City. It's taken some time, but you should begin to see evidence of this very soon.
Let me say this, too. I appreciate your participation. Our newspaper is downsizing. What's happening around us is poignant and humbling. We said goodbye to people today, more will leave tomorrow and next week. And additional downsizing is imminent. We've never appreciated you more.
I have no crystal ball. But, if there is a demonstrable, engaged, essential community around Art City, it has a greater chance of surviving. It is as simple as that.

I think a distinction should be made between "covering the arts" and being an art critic. I may not be up on all the latest, local, online "art criticism" but what I'm seeing seems to be kind of, I don't know, muddled maybe. I'm not sure where you fit in, but I have really enjoyed watching you grow into your position at the Journal. That said, it still isn't clear to me though if you have taken on the journalistic role or the role of a critic.
Art criticism is a discipline that when practiced well is as creative as making good art.

when in one sentence Bruce Murphy reduced me to nothing more than a "bozo heaping criticism," i just laughed.
it's hard not to take the stones thrown personally, but i think we all have our roles to play. Milwaukee Magazine's role has always been to make everybody working hard locally feel like garbage by nit picking his or her every folly.
when i was running an art gallery and a nonprofit, Milwaukee Magazine didn't have any interest in reporting on the positive things i was doing, but then neither did 88.9, 620 or most of the other traditional local media.
when i closed the gallery because of the Bronzie or when i threatened to pinch a loaf on an alderman's lawn, they all thought that was worthy of their esteemed audiences.
but these are also news sources directed at dabblers and suburbanites. people who by definition aren't interested -- who withdraw. these people don't want to know the details of how dirty and sweaty WE have to get to make Milwaukee a city worth living/working in. these folks want extremes -- superstars and explosions, gun battles and public defecation.
just like they go to Sendik's and buy stuffed skinless chicken breasts, they'll go see Janet Zweig's artwork and be blown away for the 10 minutes it's in front of them. then they'll move on to American Idol.
if they really knew the details of the gruesome process of getting that delicious dinner to their plate they'd puke! if they knew the gory details of how hard it is to make anything cool happen in Milwaukee, they'd quit their jobs, pack a moving van, and put the pedal to the metal.
i wear this public criticism like a badge of honor! because if these folks LIKED me, i'd KNOW i was either a poser and a hack... or an advertiser.
Well, fortunately, no one, including you MLS, has to struggle to answer your question of "who" the windbag is...he surfaces with joy at the mere suggestion of his self aggrandizing self... the evidence is obvious and always the same... read "his" comments above and see that it is all "they this, they that, THEY, THEY, THEY... he can't comment without pointing accusatory fingers at EVERYONE he deems not worthy of his.... glorious being... MLS, you say "I actually weed out the windbags" but once again, in this glaring case the evidence is to the contrary... and in my opinion, your unwillingness to do so (and subject us in each and every conversation to him), greatly diminishes your effectiveness and OUR willingness to contribute since each and every conversation devolves instantly to elementary school bullying and bully pulpiting by your friend and infamously obnoxious windbag, mr. brenner. Why can't he keep his word and leave town as promised? Yuck.
If you want serious contributions you have to maintain a serious environment.
Maybe the above comments have something to do with the supposed sad state of art in Milwaukee.
Grow up kids!
I think the untold story here is how little the art community mattered. We didn't show up in the first place. Then when things went off the rails the denunciations from the art world had little to say about this particular work. Instead it was about the bad politicians who don't like art.
Well, if we really like good art, WE would have clamored to get rid of art atrocities, like the the stuff in Gordon Park. What happened here, the reason a worthy project went forward, is that politicians did the right thing despite the unearned cultural superiority of the Milwaukee's art world.
Regarding Brenner's dismissal of Bruce Murphy's "personal" attack on him, it's hard too take him seriously. Remember, his current claim to fame is the threat to defecate on the lawns of people who disagree with him.
tom, i don't take bruce's comments as a personal attack at all. bruce needs to call me a bozo to separate my antics from the issue.
i was trying to say that mary louise shouldn't take the REPEATED attacks by you and bruce in milwaukee magazine over the years to heart. it's just what you guys do.
although the arts community may complain from time to time about JS's arts coverage, we know that NOBODY in the press shows up at more events or puts forth more effort than she does.
besides... according to quantcast.com, milwaukeemagazine.com gets only 4000 visits per month and jsonline.com gets over 8,000,000. so in the end her voice is the only one anyone is listening to anyway, it seems.
For the record, I have no memory of writing about Mary Louise Schumacher in Milwaukee Magazine. But I just turned 60, so I don't know as much as I used to. But I am critic and have been critical of lots of things, including art coverage in Milwaukee long before Mary Louise came to town. What's wrong with that? Isn't Schumacher an art critic once in awhile as well?
Regarding your last point, the relative market penetration of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel v. Milwaukee Magazine.... is very misleading. The real comparison would be Murphy's blog v. Art City. Why doesn't the Journal company make these numbers public? Because it would be appalling how much of their traffic is generated by the Packers.
Finally, small is not all that bad. About 6,000 people in the Milwaukee area get the New York Times compared to several hundred thousand for the paper. Does that mean that we should stop reading the NYT's or that it is less influential?
i apologize, tom. it must have been other folks at milwaukee magazine giving her a hard time.
the weather is fabulous, we've got the zwieg, the world is full of joy and whimsy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ikDSXEUFbyk ,
so much to enjoy...
The broader audience on facebook and this blog from Mary Louise Schumacher, you must admit, was the reason anyone knew before hand that there was an issue to respond to. Thanks to constant updates there was time to act. I say Thank God for our arts editor! Thank God for the ongoing conversation. And Thank God for new voices added to the pot!

BlackBerry announces iOS support in enterprise service
If you can't beat 'em, join 'em - that's the message from the BlackBerry Live conference in Orlando, Florida this week. The company has announced BlackBerry Enterprise Service (BES) 10.1 to extend security capabilities for iOS devices.
BES 10.1, which is now available for download, lets users manage BlackBerry smartphones as well as iOS and Android devices. But a previously announced feature, now in testing, will extend iOS support even more. "Secure Work Space" is a new function of BES 10.1 that provides a secure corporate connection for iOS and Android devices, without requiring any specific configuration changes to the device. Secure Work Space works using apps that BlackBerry plans to release through the App Store which includes secure e-mail, calendar, contacts, tasks, memos, browsing and document editing.
BlackBerry is currently testing Secure Work Space in closed beta and plans to release the feature.
You can get more details about this week's BlackBerry Live events at CrackBerry.
There are 3 comments. Add yours.
Now BlackBerry only has one differentiating feature.
The Chiclet keyboard.
Are you drunk? does apple have a cross platform mobile business management system? Blackberry is clearly looking way past hardware sales. There is just as much, if not more money to made in services and software. There's alot of money to made in there business model.
I think this hurts Good the most. If companies are deploying BB still, this is a way to allow email, chat, etc. as well.

UFC 132 will take place on July 2 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, NV. The fight card will close out a run of six straight weekends of UFC/Strikeforce fight cards.
The main event at UFC 132 will feature the promotion's first bantamweight title fight, as champion Dominck Cruz (17-1) looks to avenge the only loss of his career when he faces off against former WEC champion Urijah Faber (25-4). Cruz lost to Faber back in March 2007, falling via first round submission in a bout that saw Faber successfully defend his WEC featherweight title.
Also competing on the main card will be Wanerlei Silva (30-10-1-1). The "Axe Murderer" makes his return to the Octagon after a prolonged time away due to injury rehab. Silva will jump right back into the fray, facing Chris Leben (25-7). Silva has not fought since he defeated Michael Bisping in February 2010. Leben is coming off a loss to Brian Stann on New Year's Day 2011.
Also on the main card, Tito Ortiz (15-8-1) will look to win his first fight since defeating Ken Shamrock in October 2006. Ortiz is in a must win situation, as he has been informed by UFC president Dana White that this will be his last chance with the organization. Standing in Ortiz's way will be Ryan Bader (12-1), whose only loss came at the hands of current UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones.
