July 30, 2014
CORALVILLE, Iowa (AP) — Shoppers in Iowa got an unusual glimpse of wildlife Monday morning when a doe and two fawns wandered into a department store.
Coralville Police Chief Barry Bedford says the deer used doors that open automatically to get into a Kohl's store.
He says the fawns stayed in the store's vestibule, but their mother made it into the store and headed toward the back.
Police say employees opened up some back doors and the doe exited. The two fawns turned around and used the automatic exit doors to leave the store.
No injuries or damage was reported.

State-funded buyouts of homes in flood-prone neighborhoods ravaged by Hurricane Sandy is a possibility, Gov. Christie said this week.
However, when it comes to a final decision, it's one he hopes the residents will make.
In Sea Bright, Christie was joined Thursday afternoon by U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Shaun Donovan to discuss the allocation of $1.8 billion that will be used to fund Community Development Block grants, or CDBGs. Though that money will be focused on rebuilding homes and small businesses, future HUD allocations could be used for residential buyouts.
It's not something he'd like to see, Christie said, but if a community finds that it's the best option for their future, it will have to be considered.
"I want to make sure that it's known that people have time, away from the emotion of this, to make a cool and calm decision as a community as to whether they want to sell out or whether they want to rebuild," he said. "And we'll make those decisions then."
Residential buybacks would likely be handled through the state's already existing Blue Acres program, which is used to buy properties in flood-prone areas and convert them to open space. The long under-funded program could see a serious injection of cash should demand for residential property buyouts grow.
Already, Christie said towns like Union Beach in Monmouth County and Sayerville in Middlesex County, among others, have expressed some interest in the possibility.
Donovan said neighborhood buyouts are sometimes the best option for areas that are likely to see a recurrence of serious flood damage. Programs like these only work, he said, when entire affected areas are bought out. A house here or there being bought out when others in the same neighborhood remain means spending both now and later, when that next disaster comes along, he said.
Christie said he agreed, but even though a buyout might represent the best option for some neighborhoods, or at least most cost-effective moving forward, it's up to the residents of the respective towns, ultimately, to say yes.
As Christie's administration develops plans with HUD on how best to distribute disaster relief aid, neighborhood buyouts will be considered. But, the appropriate amount of time and consideration must be given to a drastic decision that will displace families. In all, roughly $16 billion of the more than $50 billion Hurricane Sandy relief package passed by Congress in January will be used to fund HUD projects.
Following initial funding allocations, about $11 billion remains.
"It's certainly not something where I'm going to make the decision to condemn certain areas of this state and tell people they cannot rebuild there," Christie said. "I'm very uncomfortable with using that authority. We have it we need it, but I don't think in this circumstance it's the right thing to do.
"I think it's much more appropriate to let the community come to some sort of consensus, and if they do, then I'd certainly be willing to sit with the secretary and discuss the possibility of using some of this money (to fund buyouts)."

Anyone worldwide may purchase this FOX Racing Shox product, however, the delivery address must be inside the United States.
The F29 was fine tuned by Fox to provide a comfortable ride for big wheeled bikes. The F29 has superior stiffness in order to counteract the larger wheelbase flex. This version of the F29 features high end technologies including Kashima coating, FIT cartridge, and Terralogic.
To ensure buttery smooth cycling, the uppers are Kashima coated. Kashima coating is a hard anodizing process that fills in any micro pores in the material creating a smoother surface, in comparison to a hard anodization on prior versions. Its distinctive gold color is backed by its high performance attributes including extreme durability as well as an extremely smooth feel. The whole purpose and value of the Kashima coating is its friction reduction properties.
The Fox T29 features the FIT cartridge. FIT stands for Fox Isolated Technology. FIT technology employs a bladder system that keeps the oil and air from mixing to provide optimal performance in all riding extremes. Since the FIT cartridge uses much less oil, the weight of the fork is significantly less than one with an open bath style.
In order to stay focused on the task at hand, Fox incorporated Terralogic technology into this fork. Terralogic is suspension damping that automatically responds to trail input. The beauty of Terralogic is that the rider doesn't have to flip a switch while riding to enjoy the benefits of a lockout style fork. The Terralogic Threshold Adjuster allows the rider to adjust for a wide range of thresholds. The adjuster allows the rider to adjust for an XC race to all mountain riding. The BrassMass assembly and timer circuit were designed to react immediately to trail input. Immediately, the BrassMass returns to the closed position for maximum pedal efficiency while still providing control of the BrassMass in the event of a second- strike. The lockout feeling is always firm and there isn't any fade. The FIT cartridge keeps dirt and contamination out of the damper which provides consistent BrassMass operation.

Give Yourself a Nudge
Why is there such a gap between what human beings actually do, as opposed to what we know would be best? And how can we get our actions better aligned with our intentions?
These questions may have crossed your mind a time or two if you've ever hit the snooze button until the last possible second, despite having set your alarm the night before with an early morning workout in mind. Morning-you stages a full-on mutiny against the completely sensible and admirable plan developed by the alarm-setting-you. And it's not just fitness goals to which this dynamic applies. Carrying out good intentions can be a struggle in other areas, too, such as in the financial or academic arenas.
At a meeting of the National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators, Kimberly A. Brown presented research from her doctoral dissertation. Her research, on the effectiveness of a financial literacy program, showed that improved understanding did lead to smarter decisions about money in many ways. However, on some issues, such as credit card use, behaviors did not change.
Several books in the last few years have explored similar questions, including Switch: How to Change Things When Change is Hard, by Chip and Dan Heath, and Nudge: Improving Decisions about Health, Wealth, and Happiness by Richard H. Thaler and Cass R. Sunstein.
Thaler and Sunstein make the case that we all find it easier to make good choices when "choice architecture," that is, the context that frames choices, nudges us in the right direction. A simple example of what Thaler and Sunstein have in mind would be making the cafeteria's salad bar more conveniently located than the milkshake machine.
By planning ahead, we can be our own "choice architects." For example, when you begin managing your own finances, setting up automatic online bill payments can keep you from getting stuck with late fees, and leaving the credit card at home can short-circuit temptation. What are some other ways that the you with great intentions can successfully nudge the you that will make future choices?

The year of the
newbie—plus Jay
Z and Daft Punk
THIS YEAR'S list of Grammy nominees honors an
impressive number of new artists. Macklemore
and Ryan Lewis, and Kendrick Lamar, are
contenders for Best New Artist and Album of
the year; and the Record of the Year category
includes three first-time nominees: Imagine
Dragons and Lorde, as well as older timer
Robin Thicke.
But the rich get richer as well—at least
in terms of nominations. Jay Z has nine this
year—even more than Justin Timberlake,
Taylor Swift, or Daft Punk, all of whom were
recognized several times over.
Here, Electronic Musician takes a look at the
production of nominated projects in a handful
of categories. Note that these aren't necessarily
our picks, and by the time this issue comes out,
the votes will have already been counted. But
all of these records are well worth a listen.
Thanks to Ken Micallef, Blair Jackson, and
Mix magazine for contributing material for
this feature.
Best Alternative
Music Album
The meaning of the "Alternative"
title is harder to pin down than other
categories, but that's the nature of
the beast: What do Neko Case, The
National, Nine Inch Nails, Tame Impala,
and Vampire Weekend have in common?
They all made strong, inventive albums
that aren't easily categorized.
Vampire Weekend
Modern Vampires of
the City
Sonically eclectic,
quirky and
Modern Vampires was engineered
and co-produced by bandmember
Rostam Batmanglij with co-producer
Ariel Rechtshaid, and recorded at
Batmanglij's Brooklyn loft, Slow Death
Studios (Burbank), Downtown Studios
(NYC), Echo Park "Back House" (L.A.),
and Vox Recording (Hollywood).
Best Dance/
Electronica Album
Daft Punk's Top Ten hit Random Access
Memories is likely best known in a
category that also includes Disclosure's
Settle, Calvin Harris' 18 Months,
Kaskade's Atmosphere, and Pretty
Lights' A Color Map of the Sun.
Pretty Lights
A Color Map of the
DJ Derek Vincent
Smith wrote,
manipulated, and
arranged all of the songs for his latest
Pretty Lights album—the first that
doesn't sample other artists. Smith says
he did a lot of sampling in the past to
capture the sonics/vibe of a particular
period, like 1940s jazz vocals, '70s soul,
or '90s rap. Working
"When I called Studio G and said I
wanted to do it to tape, they had their
2-inch 24-track Studer tape machine
ready to go," Smith recalls. "I was like,
'No, I must have miscommunicated. I
want to use the [Otari MTR-15] quarter-inch
stereo tape machine and run it
on 7.5 ips so we're really getting into
emulating a garage recording studio in
the '60s in Detroit or Cleveland or some
place like that.'"
Best R&B Album
This year's R&B nominees include the
Faith Evans-led album made on reality
TV show R&B Divas, as well as smash
releases from John Legend, Chrisette
Michele, TGT, and Alicia Keys.
Alicia Keys
Girl on Fire
"I'd been playing this
little motif on a guitar
part in Logic and
Alicia started singing
to it," producer Salaam Remi says about
this album's anthemic title track. "Jeff
[Bhasker] was like, 'I think a [Yamaha]
CP70 might sound good playing those
chords.' So just at the beginning of the
record, the sounds start on CP70. Then
as we started getting into the song,
toward the chorus, Alicia was like, 'Now
I want it to take off,' so we started to get
the chorus going where it was going.
"That's when I thought of the Billy
Squier 'Big Beat' [drum sound]. I
thought, since she wanted to go up
and loud with the hook, let's put the
"Big Beat" under there. And then Ann
Mincieli, Alicia's engineer, took that and
put it through many different changes—
plug-ins and amps and different
stuff—to make it spread out like it was
Best Rock Album
Rock 'n' roll royalty like Led Zeppelin,
David Bowie, and Neil Young make stars
Kings of Leon and Queens of the Stone
Age look like relative newcomers in this
Neil Young with
Crazy Horse
Psychedelic Pill
John Hanlon built a
homey studio into a
house on Young's property, turning the
master bedroom into his control room
and wiring up comfortable spaces for
the bandmembers to play. Pill comprises
original songs fashioned from long,
glorious, electric jams.
Best Compilation
Soundtrack for
Visual Media
All of the nominated albums are
inextricable from the films, yet different
from each other, as the "western" music
from Django Unchained goes up against
the anthemic Les Miserables, R&B on
Gatsby, pure soul of Muscle Shoals, and
hard-rocking Sound City.
Dave Grohl &
Various Artists

Individual songs

Associated Press
Jim Clements has been named the 15th president of Clemson University.
Clemson Board of Trustees Chairman David Wilkins announced the board's selection Monday. Clements has been president of West Virginia University since 2009.
Clements succeeds Jim Barker, who announced in April that he planned to retire after 14 years and become an architecture professor at the school.
Wilkins says Clements is the right fit for Clemson, adding he understands the unique mission of land-grant universities. Clements is chairman-elect of the Council of Presidents of the Association of Public Land-Grant Universities.
James W. Dailey II, chairman of the West Virginia University Board of Governors, said Monday, "Since the hiring of Jim Clements in 2009, West Virginia University has experienced unprecedented success in many areas – private giving, enrollment, academics, research funding, health care, community service, economic development and so much more. Of course he will say it is because he has had a great team, but it's more than that.
"Jim is a natural born leader – someone who understands the higher education climate. He is committed to excellence. He stands for integrity and is a champion for this University and its diverse audiences – from students and their parents, to faculty and staff, to donors and funders, to city, state and federal lawmakers, to opinion leaders, to our state's citizens and others.
"The bottom line: He understands how a public land-grant University changes lives — and he has brought people together to make that mission a very powerful one on our campus.
"I want to personally thank him for his leadership and vision, as well as his friendship. And on behalf of the WVU Board of Governors and a grateful University, we wish Jim and Beth – and the entire Clements family – all the best as they transition to a new home at Clemson University.
"The Clemson Tigers are getting a national-caliber leader who, we know, will always carry the Mountaineer spirit in is heart.
"In the coming days and weeks we will announce a plan for interim leadership, and then a permanent plan moving forward."
Clements sent the following letter to the WVU community following Monday's announcement of his appointment to lead Clemson University:
Almost five years ago my family and I moved to Morgantown, West Virginia. At that time we didn't really know anyone in the state. We quickly learned that West Virginia is filled with wonderful, hard-working, loyal, and dedicated people – and that West Virginia University is made up of great faculty, staff, administrators, and students. I am so thankful and honored that I had the chance to serve with so many outstanding people in the pursuit of the important land-grant mission at WVU.
Together, we built momentum for our University. We have broken numerous records including many in enrollment, fundraising, and research. We have been blessed to have alumni and friends who give so much to make a difference in the lives of others. The support through private giving has been overwhelming. Our hospital system has grown significantly with WVU health care providers saving lives as they reach out to every corner of the state. Our extension program expanded, and continues to be recognized as the go-to place in the local communities. Although there is much more to do in terms of salaries and benefits for the faculty and staff, we have made critical gains in funding more competitive salaries. We are in the midst of nearly $1 billion in construction projects that will provide an enhanced learning environment, better research labs, patient care, and improved housing for our students. These projects are building a better future for the generations that follow us.
We accepted an invitation into the Big 12 – one of the major power conferences in college athletics. This move was also about a realignment in academics and research with universities that share a common profile and mission with WVU. The benefits of this new partnership will continue to grow over time.
We tried our best to keep tuition low for our students – and we should be proud that our tuition is still several thousand dollars below our peer average both for in-state and out-of-state students. And, through strategic investments and the efforts of our faculty and staff, we have kept our academic quality high. In the past few years our students won numerous national awards, proving time and again that WVU can compete with anyone in the world. And, I am very proud of the fact that during my time at WVU we graduated 25,473 students. The amazing faculty and staff at WVU deserve all of the credit for this accomplishment.
When my family arrived at WVU we didn't realize how much we would fall in love with the state and the university. Beth and I knew that it would be very difficult for any university to convince us to leave WVU. However, Clemson is a university that is very special to our family. Beth's family lives near the university and her two brothers, and a sister-in-law, are graduates of Clemson.
I wasn't looking to leave WVU. In fact, when I first was called I simply responded that I love WVU, the students, faculty and staff and the community. However, after much thought, reflection and prayer, Beth and I decided that this is an opportunity that we couldn't pass up.
West Virginia and WVU will always have a very special place in our hearts. Three of our children currently attend WVU and they love it. Our son is in his fourth year at WVU and will graduate soon. Our twin daughters recently graduated from Morgantown High School. They are now enjoying their first semester at WVU.
Our youngest daughter Grace, who has special needs, did well at North Elementary School and Suncrest Middle School. She has been surrounded by loving and kind friends. However, as she enters the next phase of her life we believe that having her extended family close to her is something that will be very important.
In addition, Beth and I developed many strong friendships that we will cherish forever. We are so thankful to the large number of people who have been incredibly kind to us and our children.
We are also thankful to the WVU Board of Governors. They are an outstanding group of individuals who truly care about all aspects of the university. Their advice and counsel have been instrumental in our success. We are also thankful for the support of the governor, our elected officials at the state and federal levels, the Higher Education Policy Commission, the senior leadership team at WVU, the WVU Foundation Board, the WVU Alumni Board, the WVU Hospital Boards, the WV United Health System Board, and the wonderful faculty, staff, students, alumni, and friends of WVU.
We are very proud of what we accomplished together.
We wish you all the very best in the future. May God Bless the entire Mountaineer Nation now and always!

Michael Horn, Contributor
I write about transforming education through digital learning
Five years ago Peru's government equipped 800,000 of its public school students with low-cost laptops through the One Laptop Per Child initiative. The purpose was to use digital technology to fight poverty by boosting student learning.
According to reports, such as this one in eSchool News, the effort in Peru has largely been a flop. The initiative cost the government more than $200 million. One person quoted in the story even wonders if it may have even widened the gaps between rich and poor students in the country.
Yet this was entirely predictable ahead of time.
All too often advocates for education technology have extolled its benefits without recognizing that technology alone will not transform education. Technology by itself does not transform anything in any sector. What tends to matter far more is the model in which the technology is used.
The One Laptop Per Child initiative in particular gathered significant publicity and hype for its admirable goals, but people implementing it in many countries appeared not to have thought through the professional development teachers would need or, even more importantly, a redesign of the schooling model itself to leverage the considerable benefits that digital learning can deliver.
We have seen this movie before, both inside and outside education. As we wrote in Disrupting Class, for a couple decades we spent aggressively on equipping classrooms with computers in the United States—well over $60 billion by a conservative estimate—without significant gains to show for it. Like most established organizations in other sectors, the education system's inclination when it sees a potentially disruptive technology is to cram it into its existing model to sustain what it is already doing, but not fundamentally transform that model into a student-centric one (the importance of making this transformation should be clearer in light of the ACT's announcement today that 60 percent of 2012 high school graduates are at risk of not succeeding in college and career).
Where technology has helped transform education—in online learning (both at a distance and in blended-learning models)—it is because it has been implemented in a new learning model. Carpe Diem Schools provide a great example; their schools look nothing like a traditional school and their flagship school has achieved dramatic results for students.
The inclination to use technology as a sustaining innovation has not just been true with computers. There is a long history of schools using technologies to, in effect, sustain the chalkboard and prop up the 20th-century factory model classroom with the teacher in front of 20 to 30 students of the same age. The recent hype over electronic white boards has been only the latest incarnation of this, as the images from my blog here make clear.
When we finally learn that technology alone won't transform education—even as it will almost certainly be a critical ingredient in the transformation—we'll be in a much better place. Districts spending wildly on iPads and other devices should take note. Peru can attest to that.
I challenge Michael Horn to debate this issue and his half-baked corporate-funded theories about education in the venue of his choice at any time.
Readers of this publication deserve better than an article based on hearsay found in another poorly sourced account all used as an opportunity to plug the book Mr. Horn helped write.
What a surprise! Peru for some reason elected a new conservative Government and what happens right after is that magically an anti-OLPC report is then released by those same people.
OLPC is a gigantic success, in Peru, in Uruguay and in every other of the 50 countries it has been reployed in. Over 3 million children mostly in developing countries have been experiencing a much better school and education system all only thanks to the OLPC Project.
Of course, education using laptops can be much better if all schools get Internet access, which they do not in Peru's remote mountain villages, and of course education using laptops can get much better once Governments invest even the minimum into creating online and interactive educational content and spend even a minimum trying to adapt the curriculum to take advantage of laptop and internet technology.
But you just go ahead Forbes, have fun quoting a totally bogus unscientific report on OLPC in Peru. You just have fun with that. You probably should digg out the anti-OLPC propaganda spread around by Intel over the past several years also.
OLPC is about nothing else than to promote cheaper better Laptops and better online education content for education worldwide. OLPC created the Netbook market. Now OLPC is creating the ARM Powered Laptop market and the productive ARM Powered tablet market. This means the complete death of Intel and Microsoft, so obviously, you should do a copy and paste on the Wintel anti-OLPC propaganda.
OLPC has NOT failed in Peru. The metrics are all wrong and I will not accept that giving a poor child a computer is a bad thing even if their teachers don't embrace it. When I bought my own children laptops, nobody demanded test score increases or called for accountability. This is the view of rich White Dickensian shopkeepers. Should we send standardized tests to poor countries before we introduce the tools of modernity?
Normally, Americans don't give a rat's ass about Peru. They can't find it on a map and they certainly don't know how much my friends and colleagues there have done to change the world for their kids. Why all of the sudden interest in what sort of computers they bought? Could it POSSIBLY be because the US high-tech industry hates Papert's view of education and student empowerment at a low price-point?
If kids are programming their own software on a durable inexpensive OLPC computer that could interfere with the profit motives of high-tech and publishing companies selling a handful of magical interactive beans.
I do not understand why the reptilian mind of OLPC's critics cannot comprehend that OLPC has nothing to do with school, teacher education, increasing test scores, funding Michael Horn's "non-profit" foundation, etc… It is based on a simple idea. Giving other people's children laptop computers is a nice thing to do and may even help them learn. Their parents, relatives and community members may also learn from what may be the first book, computer, electric light or connection to the world they have ever owned.
It is the height of imperialism to criticize people in far away lands for having the audacity to give their children a piece of what our children take for granted.
@ ARMdevices.net
Hi… with reference to "OLPC is a gigantic success, in Peru, in Uruguay and in every other of the 50 countries it has been reployed in"
I'm really surprised to read this – about Peru.
I am working on a project in primary schools in Villa Maria del Triunfo, (in one of the poorer districts of Lima-Peru) and they certainly do not have laptops nor access to the Internet (as neither do many other state schools in that district with a pop. of 250,000).
So, I would very interested to see the facts that back up your statement.
You can see the school I am referring to here: http://www.ccdfac.com/pdhp#!__pd-01-ce-fete
I.E 7502 Capamento Atocongo UGEL 01
best wishes,
www.richard-coates.com (London-UK)
…and yet you cite examples of success that are of dubious quality and based on a vision of education we would never tolerate for our own children.
What good can come of causing governmental bodies to question the value of treating their children as citizens of the world?
Do you know if the Peruvian education system is an industrial model?
Again, I offer to debate these points and your larger goal of school privatization and automation with you any time anywhere.
The Peru study actually showed that the children learned a wide range of computer skills, and advanced by six months in cognitive skills. It is only those who refuse to look beyond arithmetic and reading scores who could consider that a failure.
OLPC is described as a failure only by its implacable enemies at the Wall Street Journal, Forbes, The Economist, and the American Enterprise Institute, whose only economic policies are tax cuts for the rich, whose only education policies are dismantling the public schools and demonizing teachers. Why would you give them any credence?

I ordered this bolero in coral. It is the perfect compliment to so many wardrobe items. I can wear it over a tunic, dress, tank, tee. It's ideal for adding a punch of colour or some contrast. It's well made. Not too heavy. Beautiful material. Washes like a dream. I love it and will order more in other colours.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Lovely Bolero
By Paula
from Sherwood Park (Alberta)
Bought this bolero to go with the two piece capri and top showstopper. I bought the sapphire and it is a lovely cover up for the sleeveless top that went with the capri set. Fits and drapes well. Would certainly recommend it.
Nice little jacket!
By J

Purchased this to go over a dress I just bought an it is the perfect weight for spring, perfect for covering the arms at church without being bulky or hot. I can see getting a lot out of this.
Very Nice Bolero
By Valerie

Just received today and really liking this bolero, I only wish that there was a little button so you could close if you wish, I guess I could always use a little pin, other than that really nice bolero!
Great Bolero!
By Ginette

I just received it yesterday (bought it to go with the brown multi long dress). They look great together, and I can see where it will look great with a tank and pants or skirt.
By Sunflower

This bolero from Kim & co. is just wonderful. Fits in all the right places, and covers my arms just right, as I 65 years old and do not like my arms to be shown. I am never disappointed with Kim & Co.Thank you S/C for carrying her line.
great bolero
By Jean

I bought this in black to go with the gorgeous black layered dress and it is a perfect add on. This is a very difficult decision..should I buy the aubergine to go with the beautiful aubergine dress too!!!Kim & Co and Marallis are the best clothing designers on The Shopping channel!

This is a cute bolero. It hangs a little bit longer (on me) than most boleros. It hits the waist (I am 5'3"). I can wear it with the coral skirt and it looks like a suit. It also looks great over a tank with jeans.

Your first look at what's happening around Milwaukee. All of the latest events you can't miss in the city.
On Tap Today: Weekend, incoming
T-minus 12 hours until the weekend. The real question, however, is how to start it off in style.
It's always good to begin things on a sobering note — that way your mood has nowhere to go but up. And what's more depressing than a discussion on the Black Death? Uli Schamiloglu, a researcher and historian, will give a free public lecture on how the plague transformed the world. He speaks at noon today in Holton Hall at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, 2442 E. Hartford Ave., room 341.
OK, OK, that's pretty depressing. Informative, but depressing. You could probably use some laughs after that. Well, you have your pick between Lewis Black or Patton Oswalt, two heavyweight comedians performing this evening nearly simultaneously.
Perhaps a little escapism and action is more up your alley? "Thor," based on Marvel comic book, is out in theaters today. Critic Duane Dudek gives it high marks.
And for those who need to get their blood pumping, the Eric Jacobson Latin Quartet will groove some Latin Jazz starting at 10 p.m. at BYO Studio Lounge, 2246 S Kinnickinnic Ave. The proprietor promises that the dance floor will be hot, the art will be fabulous, and the cucumber mojitos will be cold.

Not for the easily distracted, however. It's pretty complicated and full attention is required.
Journal Sentinel TV and film critic Duane Dudek looks at life on the small and big screen, and some of the cool stuff on both.
Belatedly, the Wisconsin Film Fest
Great weather isn't the only thing that will greet you this weekend if you go to Madison. The Dane County Farmer's Market will return to the square outside the State Capitol Building Saturday morning.
And the 12th Wisconsin Film Festival - which started Wednesday - continues through Sunday at eight venues around the city.No wonder there are no rooms at the inn.
I've only seen a handful of films showing at this fest, but "Lourdes" one of my favorite films of the Toronto Film Festival, and which was on my Top Ten list of 2009 will show again tonight - Thursday - at 7:45 p.m., at the Stage Door Theater next to the Orpheum.
(My other favorite Toronto film the thriller "Mother," by Bong Joo-ho, Korean director of "The Host" is showing at the Madison Fest Sunday at 7:15 p.m. and comes to Milwaukee April 30.)
"Lourdes" is a hypnotic and haunting French language film about the power of belief and the possibility of redemption.
Guess it appealed to the Catholic boy in me.
It features a compelling performance by round-faced Sylvie Testud, who looks like Chloe Sevigny - as an emotionally and physically disabled woman on a pilgrimage to the famous shrine. It's unclear just what her motives are and this ambiguity creats uncertainty about what to believe about healing that may or may not occur.
"Lourdes" was shot on location in verite style creating an intimacy bordering on invasion of privacy. And as writer-director Jessica Hasuner's camera and cast moves among the hordes of pilgrims at the site and participating in its ceremonies, there is a sense that the shrine is also a big business and tourist attraction.
"Lourdes" is among 24 films showing Thursday.
For a complete list go to the festival's official website.
And check back here on my blog for more festival picks.
The "Lourdes" trailer below does not have English translation, but you get a clear sense of it.

If you haven't taken the time to see "Red Riding" yet, do so. It's an amazing trilogy and I imagine it won't be long before we see an American version.
Not for the easily distracted, however. It's pretty complicated and full attention is required.
Thanks for the tip, in fact I'm writing about it Friday. The Madison fest may be the only place to see it too. Check back here. Intense, but superior I would say to "Girl With Dragon Tattoo," which feels prefabricated next to it.
I think that they showed it on IFC a month or so ago. I happened to catch it on the BBC.

WACO, Texas — After Amath M'Baye made his third-straight shot Wednesday night, the grin on his face widened. The same feeling shot through Steven Pledger after his first 3-pointer swished through the net.
It was their night and because of it, Oklahoma was on its way to a huge road win over Baylor. The feeling was still there after the Sooners held on for a 74-71 victory at the Ferrell Center.
Both scored a season-high 20 points to lead the Sooners (14-5, 5-2 Big 12) to their biggest victory thus far. Both knew they had broken out of offensive slumps in the process.
For Pledger, it was his first 20-point game of the season and the first time this year he played like one of the Big 12 Conference's best shooters.
"It's been a while," Pledger admitted after going 6 for 12 from the field, 3 for 7 from 3-point range and 5 for 7 from the free-throw line. "I needed one, and it came at a great time."
It coincided with M'Baye displaying a full offensive arsenal. The junior forward went 9 for 12 from the field in a dominant performance.
"I felt good. I've had games where I've felt better, but tonight I felt like my old self," he said. "I put points on the board. I was happy to see all the work I've been putting in paying off."
In truth, they helped the Sooners make the game look easy for the first 30 minutes.
Baylor was on the ropes most of the night. M'Baye and Pledger helped OU go on a 15-2 run late in the first half that built a 38-26 halftime lead.
"The guys did a really good job of moving the ball and setting good screens for each other," OU coach Lon Kruger said. "The timing was good, shots came in rhythm, and it was great to see Pledger step up there and knock down shots. It was good to see guys set the tone."

The heterosupremacist delusion is as bad as the master race delusion.
The National Organization for Marriage has a new video that they're busy shilling from someone named Anna Maria who, apparently, feels that "it's ridiculous that people should be labeled with words like 'hateful', 'homophobic', 'heteronormative' and 'bigot' for wanting to restore a culture of marriage to society." Of course, her entire rationale appears to be based on not actually thinking through what is wrong with marriage.
The rationales behind denying loving same-sex couples the right to marry in this nation mirror almost exactly the rationales given for why two people of different skin colors were denied the right to get married nearly half a century ago. They actually have nothing to do with the problems facing married couples, and that is why these people advocating for the "culture of marriage" are hateful, homophobic bigots who push a heteronormative view on the world.
The reality is that marriage's problems come not from expanding the rights so that lesbians and gays can marry, but rather come from a variety of issues like economic stability, restrictions on married couple access to government programs, and other social factors including those who are constantly claiming that marriage is some kind of exclusive club that only straights should belong to.
In fact, one of the biggest detriments to marriage comes from within the male-centered society that first of all pushes men not to get married by deglamorizing marriage for straight men. Meanwhile, society also pushes this idea that marriage should be a system where men dominate women instead of working in partnership.
In fact, the people who are the most guilty of destroying marriage are the people like Maggie Gallagher, Brian Brown and now this Anna Maria.

Poll: Americans Support GOP Deficit Plan
A new poll shows nearly two thirds of Americans support the Republicans debt ceiling plan.
A CNN poll released Thursday shows that nearly two thirds of the American people support the "Cut, Cap, Balance" plan that passed the House of Representatives Tuesday, throwing a monkey wrench into President Barack Obama's plan for a deal of grand design.
It is still iffy whether or not " Cut, Cap, and Balance" will pass the Senate when and if it comes up for a vote on Saturday, but the momentum has clearly shifted in the debate. Obama, who previously took a very strong position against any temporary deals, has reversed course—even going so far as to suggest he might extend the August 2 deadline for raising the debt limit. [Read the U.S. News debate: Should Congress raise the debt limit?]
Since reaching the debt limit is supposed to be triggered by spending and borrowing, it is an open question as to how Obama can "extend" the deadline—unless, as it now appears, his administration simply made it up in the first place. What does appear true is that the White House is trying to buy time to save the "deal of grand design" approach, which would include tax increases, amorphous sending cuts, and perhaps even new spending before it is eclipsed by Cut, Cap, and Balance.
Sen. Tom Coburn, the Oklahoma Republican who is a member of the "Gang of Six," whose outline may be the basis of the deal of grand design, said Thursday that he expects to have legislative language for his proposal by the end of this week or, at the latest, by the beginning of next week—once the Democratic staff on the Senate Budget Committee get through writing the bill. On the other hand, reports the Washington Times, Coburn also said he now believes that Cut, Cap, and Balance should be the final deal and that anything else cannot be completed and passed by August 2. [See a slide show of 6 consequences if the debt ceiling isn't raised.]
As a further diversion, news reports that the president and House Republicans were in negotiations over a potential deal to cut $3 trillion in spending over 10 years in exchange for an increase in the debt ceiling were labeled by sources close to the House GOP leadership as flatly untrue, with one Capitol Hill staffer going so far as to label the idea that such talks were underway "a delaying tactic" intended by the White House to "kill" the momentum that is quickly gathering around "Cut, Cap, and Balance."
The Republicans have given the president a bipartisan compromise plan: He gets—before August 2—an increase in the debt limit in exchange for a simple plan to balance the budget over the next 10 years. The president and congressional Democratic leaders are still dug in, trying to pull a rabbit out of their hat that will get them what the political coalition behind them demands: new taxes, new spending, and no real cuts. [Check out a roundup of political cartoons on the budget and deficit.]
It's not surprising that the American people are balking; they are beginning to understand, as Coburn has pointed out, that you could cut spending by $9 trillion and the federal government would still be, by some estimates, 63 percent larger than it was in 2001. It's looking more and more like the president was bluffing and—the House having called his bluff by passing "Cut, Cap, and Balance"—he is either going to have to fold or show the country he bet the farm on a pair of sixes.

MAM makes largest acquisition in its history
The Milwaukee Art Museum has made the most expensive art acquisition in its history – and gained a new art icon for its permanent collection galleries.
The portrait of a young woman by John Singleton Copley was unveiled over the weekend at a fete to mark the 10th anniversary of the Santiago Calatrava-designed expansion and attended by current and former museum staff, civic leaders and donors.
"I just dreamed big," said William Rudolph, curator of American art and decorative arts, who started at the museum this spring and engineered the acquisition. "I wondered if we could go after this particular painting."
The work of a young girl in sumptuous blue silk, with lace billowing from her sleeves and a ruby choker at her neck, was acquired for about $3.5 million, according to museum sources. The most expensive acquisition of art by MAM prior to this was an untitled abstract painting by Jasper Johns, which was purchased for $1 million in 1993.
"Copleys are rare," said Rudolph, adding that they don't come up for sale or auction often. "He is one of the best American painters ever, period."
This particular painting, titled "Alice Hooper," was owned by a descendent of the sitter. Rudolph had known of the painting for years. He called a dealer who had the artwork for safe keeping and and inquired about the seller might ever part with it. Coincidentally, the family had just decided to sell, opening an opportunity for MAM.
Copley is a blue chip artist, to be sure, but this was a pivotal painting for the young 24-year-old Boston painter, too. Copley, who began work as a professional artist at 15, was nine years into his career when he was hired to do it, around 1763.
Alice was the 17-year-old daughter of one of the wealthiest men in the colonies when the work was commissioned on the occasion of her engagement. In other words, it was a coup to hook the Hoopers. The painting pleased the family so much that they commissioned nine more portraits. With that, Copley's success was secured. People were flocking to him for work, Rudolph said.
Alice's luxurious gown and jewels reference the family's wealth, though her pensive gaze and half-shadowed face are meant to allude to her graciousness and modesty, Rudolph said.
The painting also provides vivid evidence of Copley's abilities with the brush, Rudolph added.
"One of the things that I love about Copley is that he is one of a handful of artists who can take oil paint and make you believe you are seeing something else," Rudolph said, referring to the textures of fabrics, the supple skin and the hair in the image of Alice.
"He just had that in him. He was a natural painter in that sense. You cannot teach that, you either have it or you don't."
Both Rudolph's hiring earlier this year and the acquisition of "Alice Hooper" are signs of the museum's reinvigoration of the American art program, one of the longstanding strengths of the museum's holdings.
The acquisition was purchased with funds from the estate of Leonard and Bebe LeVine, what was the largest bequest in the museum's history. That $7.6 million gift is restricted for the purchase of art. Funds from the Virginia Booth Vogel Acquisition Fund were also used, among a few other established funds at the museum. Vogel was a long-time museum supporter, as are her son and grandson, Fred and Eric Vogel.
"Alice Hooper" is now on view in the museum's permanent collection galleries.

John Copley was "American," in the same sense that Benedict Arnold was an "American." In 1769, he married the daughter of the Boston agent of the British East India Company. Apparently Mr. Rudolph forgot that the original "American" Tea Party threw tea owned by the British East India Company into Boston harbor and that precipitated the Declaration of Independence and the American Revolution. Copley wanted no part of any uprising against King George III. He left America for England in 1774 and never returned. He died in 1815.

To me that actually makes the art even more interesting!
prolly a good decision. I'd expect generous commissions & wealthy patrons are somewhat scarce during a revolution.

The artist was as Colonial American at the time of composition as anyone was, since there was no such country in 1763.
Is this what the Tea Party is reduced to, trolling the Internets for something to latch onto in order to make some completely lame and irrelevant comment?
Have such political commentators no sense of shame at all??
This is a tremendous acquisition of great art for our state's best museum. Teapartiers: please confine your ignorance to other venues where your irrelevance can influence small minds to your infinite pleasure.Hide replies
"The Milwaukee Art Museum collects and preserves art, presenting it to the community as a vital source of inspiration and education."
The appearance is that MAM ignored its mission and instead wanted to make up for the fiasco that was the "The Emperor's Private Paradise: Treasures from the Forbidden City" http://mam.org/china/
Too late MAM figured out they were pawns of the PR arm of People's Republic of China's Politburo: "Another Slavery Scandal in China" http://tinyurl.com/3fbytyf "Measuring the Human Cost of an iPad Made in China" http://tinyurl.com/6ewg4pd "Apple reveals increasing Chinese child-labor problem" http://tinyurl.com/3j5f2d4
Alan fwiw, capitalism has worked for centuries, because prices are set by the laws of supply and DEMAND. When the top 1% owns 40% of the US, DEMAND and the economy collapses.
The appearance is that Mr. Rudolph was tasked with acquiring an "American" artist. The appearance is that this wasn't an exercise in acquiring the best art value, but an attempt at "image rehabilitation."
Art acquisition is too precious and too complex imho to be used for "image rehabilitation." If that's the direction MAM, wants to go, however, I think they should try and return the work of a man who fundamentally rejected the Bill of Rights and the principles for which the United States of America stands.
Below is the speech of Tom Joad at the end of John Steinbeck's THE GRAPES OF WRATH.
"I'll be all around in the dark. I'll be ever'-where - wherever you can look. Wherever there's a fight so hungry people can eat, I'll be there. Wherever there's a cop beatin' up a guy, I'll be there. I'll be in the way guys yell when they're mad - I'll be in the way kids laugh when they're hungry an' they know supper's ready. An' when the people are eatin' the stuff they raise, and livin' in the houses they build - I'll be there, too."
Milwaukee used to be referred to as the "tool shop to the world." Unfortunately, Joad's speech more accurately reflects where we are now. I am not aware of any art that addresses that speech, but I'm sure it's out there.
John - its just a painting. Give it up already.
Bob, what you referred to as "just a painting," cost around $3.5 million.
Can't you boring politicos please stick to the editorial blogs and leave the rest of us alone? It's a pretty nice painting and the MAM did well to acquire it. Isn't that enough?Hide replies
So MAM "did well to acquire it," that's certainly good news. In order to know that, wouldn't you have to know how much Copley's work has been selling for the last few decades? Is Larry Gagosian interested? What about William Acquavella? Will the value of "Alice Hoopers" appreciate over time?
"The Death of Major Pierson" and "Watson and the Shark" are, I believe some of his major works. Do you have any idea of their value?
mb, according to this article, "John Singleton Copley, Call Your Office," http://artmarketmonitor.com/2008/08/12/john-singleton-copley-call-your-office/ in 2008, an art dealer, Alex Acevedo , bought Copley's 1790 portrait of the "Second Earl of Bessbourogh," for $85,000. This portrait might be a much better comparison for the appraisal of "Alice Hoopers." Neither "The Death of Major Pierson," and "Watson and the Shark" are portraits. Both were large works of historical events.
What I don't know about painting could fill libraries. You, however, made the claim that MAM did well to acquire it. Are we just supposed to take your word for that, or can you back it up?
No one can argue the painting is stunning and significant.
My question is to whom this painting is stunning and significant....certainly not the majority of people
who visit our art museum.
Just imagine, for a moment, the depth and scope of what 3.5 million COULD have purchased and
appealed to the majority of the people who visit the museum.
Ego is a very good thing....but use it wisely when you consider your audience.
I sincerely hope this will be taken into consideration in future purchases.
$3.5 million for a painting? Where is the outrage? How are the hippies and the lefties not coming out of the woodwork to denounce such a purchase "in times like these!" Our President complains of the luxuries of a private jet and trips to Las Vegas. But the MAM buys a piece of fabric in a frame for $3.5 mil? That would buy a lot of soup for the local food pantry! Why aren't they banging their drums and chanting about fairness and equality and redistribution of wealth? How dare the MAM spend this money on an "American" painting.Hide replies
Because it says that the money that was left was restricted to the purchase of art you dolt.

LOL, Casper, thanks for the unsolicited pseudo intellectual garbage this morning. You have demonstrated a great ability to Google and enlighten us. How about you create an endowment yourself and sponsor millions of dollars of what you think should be displayed.
John Casper go away, you have nothing to say. Aquisitions are a complex affair and shouting from the peanut gallery with irrelevant factoids is annoying, not enlightening. Balletmom go away, you are just recycling cut and paste nonsense.
