Read the Infractions Appeals Committee report on the case.
June 10, 2010: Bowl ban among penalties for Southern California.
June 10, 2010: Read the public report.
The NCAA Division I Infractions Appeals Committee has upheld the findings of NCAA violations and associated penalties for the University of Southern California. The case primarily involved agent and amateurism violations for a former football student-athlete and a former men's basketball student-athlete.
The findings in this case include a lack of institutional control, impermissible inducements, extra benefits and exceeding coaching staff limits.
The Infractions Appeals Committee's decision to uphold the penalties for the University of Southern California means the penalties are now in effect. The appealed penalties are placed on hold until the appeals process is completed. The penalties appealed by the university include a reduction in football scholarships for three years and the second year of the postseason ban.
In this case, USC requested they be able to immediately enact the first year of the postseason ban during the appeals process. The appeals committee granted this request and the first year of the postseason ban was applied to the 2010 season. The remaining year will be applied to the upcoming 2011 season.
The reduction in football scholarships will begin with the 2012-13 academic year. USC will be able to offer 15 initial scholarships (instead of the maximum of 25) and 75 total scholarships (instead of the maximum of 85) for each of the next three academic years. This reduction will not impact those student-athletes who have already signed for the 2011-12 academic year.
The penalties include four years probation; a two-year football postseason ban; a one-year basketball postseason ban; vacation of regular and postseason wins for all three involved sports (football, basketball and women's tennis); scholarship reductions for football and basketball; and recruiting restrictions for men's basketball. They also include a $5,000 financial penalty; forfeiture of revenue from the 2008 NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Championship; and limitations for the access granted to boosters and non-university personnel to team charters, sidelines, practices, locker rooms and camps for men's basketball and football. The university also must disassociate itself from three boosters, including the former football and men's basketball student-athletes involved in this case. As a part of this disassociation, the university will not be able to accept financial contributions or other assistance for the athletics department from these individuals, and is prohibited from providing these individuals with any benefits or privileges.
In its appeal, the university requested the penalties be reduced, asserting they were not supported by the facts and were excessive to an extent that they constituted an abuse of discretion. It also contended that the findings of violations should be set aside as contrary to the evidence.
While the university stated that the NCAA Division I Committee on Infractions erred in concluding that sports marketers in the case were Southern California boosters, the appeals committee disagreed, "We are persuaded that there is sufficient evidence to support the Committee on Infractions' conclusions regarding these issues, and find no basis on which to reverse the pertinent findings," the appeals committee said in its public report.
The university also argued the lack of institutional control finding should be set aside because some of the facts found by the Committee on Infractions did not constitute rules violations and that the Committee on Infractions did not consider a number of mitigating factors. The appeals committee, however, did not find any basis to reverse the finding.
The appeals committee also upheld all penalties in the case, noting there was no basis to conclude the Committee on Infractions departed from prior decisions.
In considering the university's appeal, the Infractions Appeals Committee reviewed the notice of appeal; the transcript of the university's Committee on Infractions hearing; and the submissions by both the university and the Committee on Infractions.
The Infractions Appeals Committee may overturn a determination of fact or finding of violation if the Committee on Infractions' finding is contrary to the evidence presented; the facts found by the Committee on Infractions do not constitute a violation of NCAA rules; or a procedural error affected the reliability of information that was used to support the findings. A penalty by the Committee on Infractions may be set aside on appeal if the penalty is excessive such that it constitutes an abuse of discretion.
The members of the Infractions Appeals Committee who heard this case were: Christopher L. Griffin, Foley & Lardner LLP, chair; Jack Friedenthal, professor of law at George Washington University; William Hoye, executive vice president for administration, planning and legal affairs at the Institute for the International Education of Students; Patti Ohlendorf, vice president for
legal affairs at University of Texas at Austin; and David Williams, vice chancellor and general counsel at Vanderbilt University.

Kyle Sandilands vs Australian women, she who controls the purse strings controls the dial
Kyle Sandilands
Most of the consumer decisions in this country as elsewhere are driven by women and attacking woman with venom and spite, no matter how high your ratings are is commercial suicide. Maybe men don't see things in the same way but an attack on one woman is, as far as most women are concerned, an attack on all women.
It's a lesson that the NRL was likewise slow to learn and has paid a similarly high price in lost sponsorship dollars.
It hasn't helped Southern Cross Austereo's cause that it was slow to reluctant to distance itself from its highest paid star or that Kyle took forever to issue anything that even vaguely read like like an apology.
Let's remember for a moment what started all the fuss, Kyle attacked a female journalist who had the temerity to criticise his Channel 7 TV show 'Night with the Stars'. His attack on the journalist started like this:
"Some fat slag on the Telegraph website, sorry, the news.com.au, has already branded it a disaster. You can tell by reading the article she just hates us, and has always hated us. She trawled through the twitter comments and pulled out all the bad comments and ran them. What a fat bitter thing you are, you deputy editor of an online thing. You've got a nothing job anyway. You're a piece of s**t".
He then went on to call the journalist a 'bulls**t artist and to criticise her hair and rounded out the exchange with Jackie O by saying 'You haven't got that much titty to be wearing that low cut a blouse. Watch your mouth, girl, or I will hunt you down."
So given this tirade it doesn't take a marketing genius to figure out that advertising on the Kyle & Jackie O Show is going to need some careful thought if you are a brand who relies on the goodwill of women.
A man heads up Southern Cross Austereo, Channel 7 and most of the brands who've pulled their advertising 2DayFM but women control the purse strings of both their personal and family budgets and in the age of social network lobbying are increasingly exercising their muscle against personalities or sports stars who fly in the face of their values. Woman have quickly learnt that they will rarely get a satisfactory response from media or sporting organisations, as the DNA of these organisations requires them to close ranks around their talent so they target the real funders of media and sports - consumer brands. The digital age has finally given women an easy and immediate way of reminding consumer brands that they are paying the bills and the monkey should be dancing for them, not a media or sporting star. Media companies should expect this trend to increase and will no doubt start taking seriously the appeal of their talent to mainstream women.
To date the list of advertisers who've pulled their advertising includes; Telstra, American Express, Holden, Fitness First,Jenny Craig GIO, Bulla, Federal Government, Coles, Bunnings, Vodafone, McDonald's, Ford, CUA, Bunnings Warehouse, Libra, Nissan, The Good Guys, Lexus, Volkswagon, and Blackmores.
Those who are either continuing to advertise or have yet to confirm their position include Harvey Norman, Dick Smith, Westfield, Foxtel, Samsung, Toys R Us, Commonwealth Bank, Big W, Pepsi, Goldmark, iSelect, ING, TPG, Olympus and Holiday Inn.
The campaign against Kyle Sandilands is a grassroots one, helped along by Facebook, Twitter and the petition site Change.org, where the petition for Southern Cross Austereo to 'dump' Kyle Sandilands has gathered almost 35,000 signatures http://www.change.org/petitions/2day-and...
But unfortunately for Southern Cross Austereo the pain is unlikely to be temporary, woman have long memories, especially for people who call them 'fat slags'.

Hi i couldnt get to the petition from your link ..... so searched and found http://www.change.org/petitions/2day-and... whereas your;s is http://www.change.org/petitions/2day-and... so it seems to be the full stop - can you remove that please ta !
Here's the link to the 4 Australian women mentioned in the SMH last week. Their small group is having a huge impact on Kyle's advertisers..Request to join them if you want to help https://www.facebook.com/?ref=tn_tnmn#!/groups/3.../
In a maelstrom of media coverage, at last an article that 'gets it'. For the last sixty odd days I've devoted an hour of bile to get rid of Kyle Sandilands because of all the things you summarise in this piece. For too long Australian women have been milked and then done over by brands. Well we're now armed with electronic megaphones and an internal compass. If you're built on solid foundations, you have nothing to worry about, however those built on sand better tremble. Congratulations on a great piece that captures the zeitgeist perfectly!
Sexist stereotyping about a stereotypical sexist. Yeah, that's helpful.
Whilst women do have rights to be protected from abuse, there is a sinister reason behind the sacking of one person - one person who cannot control his mouth. It is an extremely selfish attitude for a group to only care about itself and make an big issue out of it, as though it is the only group that has been insulted. It's as simple as this: if you don't like it, don't listen to it. Done deal.

This formula is light and never feels heavy, even under makeup. I haven't tried it as a lip balm yet, but it works great as a daily moisturizing cream. It is a great value for what you get.
This daily moisturizer is wonderful! It immediately makes my face feel soft, healthy, and hydrated. I use this product each morning on my face, lips, and neck. It serves as a great base for my tinted moisturizer and keeps my skin hydrated all day. Highly recommend this product!
So far I love this product but I have only been using it for about a week. The only problem I have is it smells like hair dye or paint. Its a little weird but a pretty good moisturizer for the price.
I've only been using this gel cream for about 3 days, but I love it! It makes my face feel soft and smooth. It's not oily at all. The only issue I have is the smell is very strong. Takes a little getting used to, but I won't give it up for that.
Very light but still keeps my skin moist. I used it in combination the the face wash and its amazing. Not too heavy.
This is another sample I keep at my boyfriend's place to use in lieu of my regular Clinique daytime moisturizer. I love how light it goes on, absorbs fast, and seems to do the trick just like my regular moisturizer. I use it on my face and eye area, and it's doing a good job. I've used Stila make-up, so I should have known that this product would be great, too.
I have super sensitive combination skin and this product just feels amazing on it. I can't wait to buy it!
this product left my skin feeling soft even under my makeup. The small sample lasted awhile too. I will purchase when it becomes available.
I love this product! It was included with my birchbox and have been trying to purchase for a while now. I have never really liked using lotions for my face since it would leave my skin looking greasy by the end of the day. This product goes on light and keeps my skin moisturized throughout the day.
i love this because it's a multi-tasker... total workhorse, great for travel or to carry in your bag. i use it as a daily moisturizer, lip balm, eye cream and, in a pinch, it works as a eye makeup remover, too. great scent and lightweight feel.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
back again
Ok, Last night I took stumpy1972uk1's advise about the side airbags. I simply disconnected both of them. I then proceeded to isolate the wires for each of the four motors so that i could locate them on the plug which goes into the memory unit. I did notice that each motor has two large gauge wires , which are the positive and negative, and also two thin gauge wires which I imagine are some sort of switching mechanism. I managed to get each motor running by hooking them up at the plum end with a car battery. My problem is if I replug the plugs into the memory box the plugs that come out the front side have completely different colored wires. I noticed on the front side wires there is a very heavy gauge brown wire, red wire and black wire. Am I supposed to plug everything back together and hook up the battery directly to two of those three heavy gauge wires. If so which two. Then if i remove the switch from the door panel how do i determine which wire on the back of the switch will operate each motor. I imagine there is no direct power going into the switch, only the seat. Am i correct?
|I wouldnt suggest putting any batteries near the wiring for these seats, the side impact air bags could go off if fitted. Theres a firing wire and a fault wire usually for air bags. Best thing to do if you aint electrically competent is get an auto electrician to have a look. The air bag wire on most uk spec cars is thick brown with a yellow plug. Please becarefull. Ade
Not familiar with Mercedes, but most seats have a separate plug that is the 12v. input, and then the other that does control. I suspect if you look at the door controls you'll see where a two wire plug is or was. Once you've determined where that is you can do as Dan said and temp power to it to get the seats moved to the position you like.
If you can't figure it out you can call a Mercedes dealer and talk to a line mechanic about where power is derived. As for controls, I'd definitely keep the electric controls, but I'd probably locate them in a custom built console and not in the doors of your rod.
|I've always moved power seats that are out of the car with a car battery. I connect a wire to the plus side and the negative side, and move the seats by the hit or miss method of applying power and operating the seat switches. I'm sure it's not that easy with the newer car seats.
I suppose some of the electronic wiz kids could make them work but myself the idea of dispensing with complexity and having manual seat guides makes a lot of sense..The power guides should be bolted to the seat so removing them and replacing with manual seat tracks should be a doable task..
power seat retrofit
OK I am try to mach up my model A. I bought some nearly new leather seats from a late model Mercedes e class. I have a few problems. First off one of them is all the way forward and the other all the way back, causing my Mach up to be a night mare. Secondly, I need to build up a set of risers so that the seat does not interfere with the stick shift. Not a big problem. The big problem is the controls for the seats are on the door panels, which i have. The harness coming off of them is a ribbon style. The seats have two or three different wire groupings that have regular wire plum ends on them. I have no idea what wire is for what. How do i apply power to them to get the seats to move, and how do i figure out the ribbon on the switches? If I get them to move so that they are both in the same position should I just by some manual glides and call it a day? Power seats are nice but this looks complex.

I don't deal well with vomit, and on this particular day, I had 3, 3 different times while I was using the bathroom. The last time was the worst. I went in to use the potty at the end of the day, and I could hear her retching. I came out of the stall, and went to the sink trying to put my brain anywhere else. I go to grap a paper towel from the combo trash can paper towel dispenster, and there is vomit all over that, and on the floor. I quickly change direction and grab towels from the wall unit. I look up and there is vomit all over the floor and trash can by the door, like the lady instead of opening it, just vomited all over it.I told a CSM that she needed to get a member of maintanence to the restroom ASAP, and why. I saw the maintenance person, and told her what was wrong with the bathroom that it needed an emergency cleaning.Meanwhile, I am trying to convince my stomache to not turn inside out, it took 2 hours before my stomache completely settled down.I talked to the maintenance person the next day, and she said it took her 2 hours to clean the bathroom. Not only was it on the trashcans and floor, but also where she had smeared her hand down the wall, the stall she used, including the floor and walls in there.Now, I understand, people get sick, however, if you have just completely art decoed a public bathroom, and don't feel you have to clean up your mess, at least have the decency to tell someone it needs to be cleaned. This person did not do that.
Last night, our cat Cindy (or as I call her, Thunderbutt) decided to do something she never does: she slept right up against me. Pressed herself right up against my rear end. (Those of you who see it coming, raise your hand.)I had *monstrous* gas, and poor Cindy was at ground zero. I swear, outside of chili I never have gas that bad. She never sleeps pressed against me... and likely never will again. What I did to poor Thunderbutt is considered a war crime in several nations!

Meet the Real Hero of the Calgary Spartan Race: Josh Taylor
On August 18th, Josh proved, without a doubt that he is tough enough! In true Spartan style, he has overcome difficulty, pushed himself to unbelievable limits and crossed the finish line as a hero.
Crawling through the mud you wouldn't know that Josh is any different from any of the other 150 warriors in the Hurricane Heat and you would have no idea of how far Josh has come to be able to cross that finish line, or what a huge achievement this is for him. Eight years ago when Josh suffered from a stroke, not knowing whether he would make it, let alone be able to walk or speak again, completing a Spartan race would have been unthinkable.
"The hills were a killer – I had to drag myself up the steep slope using my good arm and chest, as my bad leg had no traction," says Josh, but still he pushed on to complete the 5 km run and 15 or so obstacles.
Fitness, the outdoors and adventure were a big part of Josh's upbringing. His father, Peter Taylor, was a known mountaineer with a couple of Himalayan first ascents to his name and author of a book, From Cooper's Creek to Langtang II. With adventure in his genes, Josh spent years working as a hunting guide, and even did rodeo for a while.
This all changed at the age of 32, when Josh's stroke derailed his life and left him temporarily without speech, in a wheelchair and with very limited movement in his upper body. It took six months of determination and teeth clenching to get out of the wheelchair and to regain his speech. "I was determined to prove them wrong . If they told me I couldn't do something, I would think, just watch me!" Josh spent a year in a stroke rehabilitation centre, and actually met his wife, Jane, online while he was there (Jane was his cheerleader for this year's Spartan but has promised to sign up to race in Calgary next year).
Josh has been a Street Team Member since the beginning of the year, and completing the race was a huge goal for him. His training included practising Mixed Martial Arts a couple of times a week, lifting weights and walking with a weighted vest to improve his limp. "The Spartan Race was a huge achievement. There was a great atmosphere and everyone was incredibly positive and supportive. They kept telling me 'keep going, you're a hero'. I didn't want to let them down – they made me feel very proud of myself.'"
Always striving to improve, Josh aims to jog the Hurricane Heat in 2013, or to compete in a regular heat, and we look forward to seeing him back.

TO GO WITH AFP STORY BY SOPHIE MAKRIS: GRECE-GASTRONOMIE-AGRICULTURE-ECONOMIE-LAIT-USA Sheep yogurt cups are pictured at the milk bar "Stani", in central Athens on March 4, 2014. Yoghurt is a global health fad with millions of adherents in Europe and the United States, and yet in Greece, many people have never heard of 'Greek yoghurt'. Strained yoghurt, made from cows' milk, is the stuff of millions today -- and its popularity the cause of litigation. Strained yoghurt is also popular in Greece, where it also serves as a key ingredient for staple dishes like tzatziki. But for traditionalists, there is also a significant market for non-strained, tangier and more fatty yoghurt made from sheep's milk. Yoghurt made from sheep's milk has 6.5 percent natural fat, compared to around 2.0 percent in cow's milk. AFP PHOTO / ARIS MESSINISARIS MESSINIS/AFP/Getty Images

More than 300 local "angels" tread the streets of Wintersville as they honored 8-year-old Abigail Kinney's fight for sight, promoted awareness for a rare eye condition called Leber's Congenital Amaurosis and in the process raised more than $31,000 when Abigail's Angels Charity Walk was held on Sept. 22.
The event started at Indian Creek High School auditorium and back concluding with "finish-line festivities" that included music, fun, inflatables, basket drawings, food and face-painting.
"This first-annual event truly exceeded expectations," said committee member and co-organizer Cindy Sagrilla. "The community support was overwhelming," Sagrilla said.
"The most sincere thank-you doesn't come close to expressing my gratitude for everyone's participation - the sponsors, walkers and the multitude of volunteers," said Lori Kinney, organizer and Abigail's mother. "As we continue to devote our attention to this cause, we are blessed by the outpouring of continued love and support from so many, knowing it means so much for my little girl."
Anyone interested in contributing to Abigail's Angels, can visit the website www.abigails-angels.com or call Starkdale Presbyterian Church's office at (740) 264-5309.
LCA is a disease that causes the eye's retina to slowly die. The gene RDH12 is the culprit, but there is hope, they said. Research is now under way for the development of a gene therapy treatment that will sustain or restore vision for many like Abigail.
Abigail's Angels support the official 5013C nonprofit "The RDH12
Fund for Sight," and all donations are tax-deductible. All monies are used to fund RDH12 research.
For information about the topic or event, contact Sagrilla by phone at (740) 635-6484 or by e-mail at email@example.com

Summary of Between Their Worlds Summary of Between Their Worlds Reviews for Between Their Worlds An Excerpt from Between Their Worlds
Wynn Hygeort is stunned when Magiere and Leesil, along with the elven wolf Chap, show up at the Guild of Sagecraft. But Wynn cannot leave with her friends—she still must access the texts within the Guild's archives which may help her divine the locations of the last two Orbs sought by the Ancient Enemy. To complete her task—and protect the Orbs—Wynn must remain sequestered from her friends.
But she's essentially a prisoner. One of the Guild's superiors is just as eager for Wynn to translate the ancient texts, but she knows the others will not permit her to share that knowledge—knowledge Magiere and Leesil desperately need if they're going to stop the Ancient Enemy from unleashing war on the land…

Friday Night Bites: Conference Championships (FAQ)
Sports fans, you have two conference championship games to savor on the eve of the last college football-filled Saturday of the regular season. We're sure you have so many questions.
No. 18 Kent State vs. No. 19 Northern Illinois
Shouldn't the MAC Championship be played on Tuesday or Wednesday? Wouldn't that be keeping it real?—
Tom Fornelli (@TomFornelli) November 26, 2012
• What information do I, the discerning sports fan, require in order to consume this game? The Huskies and Golden Flashes are scheduled to kick off at 7 p.m. ET at Ford Field in Detroit. The game will be televised on ESPN2 and streamed on WatchESPN.
• What's at stake here? A possible BCS bowl trip, though as ever with teams from non-AQ leagues, the shot is an outside one. Stewart Mandel has the Golden Flashes in the GoDaddy.com Bowl in his latest projections (oh, the ad campaign they'll make for that one) and the Huskies returning to Detroit for the Little Caesars Bowl.
But there's victory in this already, for one side: Wherever Kent State goes, it'll be the program's first bowl game in 40 years.
• For whom are we to be watching? The Golden Flashes have a nasty running threat, particularly in the return game, in Dri Archer and another back, Trayion Durham, who cannot be left unattended. Archer is the nation's top kick return threat, averaging more than 38 yards an attempt. He also leads the MAC in scoring and is the FBS' fifth-ranked all-purpose runner heading into Week 14.
The Huskies have Jordan Lynch, and a bunch of other guys, and not to diminish their efforts at blocking for him or catching his passes, but Jordan Lynch is sort of overshadowing everything else at the moment. Right now, NIU's quarterback is averaging more than 134 rushing yards per game, and he needs to gain just 92 tonight to set a new NCAA record for most rushing yards by a quarterback. Racking up 250 passing yards at Ford Field would also make him the first 3,000-1,500 player in FBS history. Friday MACtion, don't let us down.
• What business did Kent State have losing to Kentucky, and NIU to Iowa? WE DO NOT KNOW.
• Where can I read more about tonight's MAC Championship Game? Full preview can be found here.
No. 17 UCLA at No. 8 Stanford
• What information do I, the discerning sports fan, require in order to consume this game? The Bruins and Cardinal are scheduled to kick off at 8 p.m. ET in Palo Alto's Stanford Stadium. The game will be televised on FOX.
• Wait, what? Yes, again. These teams' final regular-season game was last week, and it was against each other. This is a first. Stanford won, 35-7. Ugh. Hey, it's Friday night, there's MACtion on another channel which may bleed into the ether and cause shootouts in the unlikeliest of places, and Gus Johnson has the call. You never know.
• Stanford is a smart kid school that doesn't have Andrew Luck anymore. How did they win a division title? Allow our own Ben Glicksman to explain.
• What's at stake here? Only a Rose Bowl bid. Mandel projects Stanford into the Granddaddy, and the Bruins to the Holiday Bowl.
• For whom are we to be watching? It's remarkable enough for a UCLA quarterback to make it to the end of a season without losing a limb, let alone be good at quarterbacking. Brett Hundley is averaging just shy of 293 yards of offense per game, and when he's not passing, he's handing of to top-10 back Johnathan Franklin.
Franklin will be contending with some very smashy defenders in cardinal and white. Stanford leads the FBS in rushing defense, sacks and tackles for loss. The Cardinal are allowing fewer than 17 points per game heading into tonight. They held Oregon to 14. And see what elite running back Stepfan Taylor can make of a UCLA ground defense that's allowing more than 150 yards per game.
• Why did these Stanford lose to Washington and UCLA lose to Cal, again? To get to the other side?
• Where can I read more about tonight's Pac-12 Championship Game? Full preview can be found here.

Marian Devotion and Living Rosary at St. John Vianney on May 9
On Wednesday, May 9, St. John Vianney students will gather in the church at 1:30pm for the annual May Crowning celebration. There will be an opening hymn, first reading, responsorial psalm, Gospel reading, short homily and then the crowning rite. An eighth grade girl and eighth grade boy have been selected by faculty to crown Mary and Baby Jesus. They were selected using the virtues of Mary as they appear in the Bible as criteria for the selection.
The advanced strings will play Ave Maria, while the second grade and eighth grade students take their place for the living rosary. The second grade students encircle the church, moving toward the altar and around the church as each prayer of the rosary is recited.

Wisconsin Technology Initiative Visits Elmbrook Schools
The School District of Elmbrook was proud to host a visit by the Wisconsin Technology Initiative (WTI) this week. WTI representatives toured Dixon and Swanson Elementary Schools, where teachers showcased technology tools including ipads, SMART Boards, SMART Document Cameras and SMART Response Systems.
SMART Cameras
WTI provided a $50,000 technology grant to the district this year, which completed the Elmbrook Education Foundation's campaign to equip every elementary school classroom with a SMART Document Camera. SMART Document Cameras are able to project text from a book, three-dimensional objects, a student's written work or a teacher's original work onto a SMART Board at a magnified level for all students to see. Content and images displayed on the SMART Board can then be captured digitally to allow for group editing, saving for later use, or sharing across classrooms. Ultimately, the document camera supports a greater level of student engagement and increased understanding through its responsiveness to just-in-time classroom learning needs. It also supports the ability to deliver lessons to a large group that previously were only possible in a small group format.

It's Weed Out time at Mary Knoll Park, Sat., May 12, 2012
View same post with pictures
This Saturday, Patty Gerner* and area volunteers are meeting at Mary Knoll Park for their annual Garlic Mustard Pull: a.k.a. the Weed-Out. Consider joining in and don't worry if you don't know anything about garlic mustard because Patty (and usually Gary Majeskie from Park & Rec. Forestry Department) will give instructions on how to recognize the weeds and pull them out.
The Weed Out is held rain or shine (aren't we all hoping for shine?) from 9am to noon. Big collection bags are provided by the Park & Rec. Department and disposal is taken care of too. Do wear gardening clothes, and gardening gloves are a good idea too.
Because of the early spring weather, the garlic mustard is ahead of schedule this year. It is already in bloom, which makes it easy to spot. The rainy weather we have had should make it easy to pull out.
So consider joining us this Saturday at Mary Knoll Park, 615 S. Sunnyslope Road, just south of the I-94 overpass bridge, in Brookfield. I've been to most of the Weed Outs and it's always been an enjoyable workday, not to mention a great opportunity to learn about these invaders so you can keep them out of your yard.

By the way – don't miss Casa del Rio's annual MargaritaFest weekend – next Friday and Saturday, May 18-19. Again this year, HAWS is the beneficiary for this fabulous community event…talk about FUN-draising!!! We'll see you there.
An Ounce of Prevention for Crabapples and Pines
Fungal diseases of trees can be sneaky. Infection of leaves or needles takes place in the spring and early summer as new growth emerges and expands. This new growth is softer, more delicate, and more susceptible to infections.
Symptoms of infection may not be obvious until later in the growing season. An example is crabapple leaves that are turning olive brown and falling prematurely. Another example is pine needles that have failed to reach full size and begin to brown in their first season, leaving dead tips. The culprits in these cases are often apple scab on the crabapples or sphaeropsis/diplodia shoot blight on the pines.
Fest for the Pets!
HAWS is excited to announce that we have again been chosen as the beneficiary of Casa del Rio's annual Margaritafest, the weekend fundraising party at the popular Waukesha restaurant!
The event runs this Friday, May 18 and Saturday, May 19 at 408 E. Main Street, Waukesha. Friday's festivities run from 4 - 11pm and feature FREE admission with a donated item from HAWS' Wish List. The cookout will include a trivia contest at 6:30pm, raffle prizes, giveaways and music by Los Guys from 7 - 11pm. The Bacardi Girls will keep things hopping at the outside bar area.
On Saturday, the action happens between 2 - 11pm, with a Zumba Dance Workout kicking things off from 2-4pm. The evening will again include a cookout, outside bar, more trivia (6:30pm) and raffle prizes, music by Sound Therapy from 7-11pm and a visit from the Jose Cuervo Girls.
Proceeds from the weekend and sales from raffle tickets will be donated to HAWS. HAWS' Mobile Adoption Center will have pictures of adoptable pets at HAWS on display, and volunteers will be on hand to answer questions about the shelter and it's programs for the community.
Cover charge for Margaritafest 2012 is $3. Join us and "Fest for the pets!!!"
By the way - Also this weekend, at the HAWS' shelter at 701 Northview Road, we'll be hosting our usual Pet First Aid class (1-4pm) and our Small Pet Pedicures (9:30-10:30am). All the details for these and other HAWS' programs are available on our Upcoming Events calendar on our website!

Silence of the Issues
There has been a Silence of the Issues that affect every American in one way or another. Candidates for federal offices who seek to take a peek at D.C. avoid these issues that will not go away. Either they have no position and prefer the status quo or they are afraid to lose supporters and voters. By listing some of those issues i encourage you to add more silent issues that are being avoided or pushed to the side. This list is only the tip of the iceberg.

Happy Dog Bite Prevention Week!
Initially created years ago by a partnership through the American Veterinary Medical Association and letter carriers from the Postal Service, at HAWS we think Dog Bite Prevention Week is a great time to remind us all how to interact safely with our canine friends!
Most dog bites occur during what seem to be "harmless" everyday interactions - a child meeting a dog out on a walk, a family member playing with their pet and so on.
There are a number of very simple things we can do to avoid dog bites, from proper training and socialization of our pets to educating children AND adults on how to properly approach a dog...or when they should just leave the dog be.
Carefully select the right pet for your family: Don't get your pet on impulse, but rather research the breed that will best fit with your lifestyle. Is your family active? Don't get a couch potato dog that will feel overwhelmed. Are your kids shy? Don't get a big, rambunctious dog that will intimidate them just by being his goofy self.
Training is key...for everyone! Properly socialize your pup from day one - go to puppy playtimes, enroll in dog training classes as a family, expose your pet to many different situations so everyone gains an understanding of what is going on - and is more comfortable during new experiences.
Be healthy, be happy: Exercise your pet regularly - the walks and games of fetch are great for people and pets alike! Create a good rapport with your vet so you both can spot health issues right away that may affect your pet's demeanor. Ensure a long, happy life together.
Be mindful of others: Always maintain control of your pet - keep dogs on a leash while in public and make sure your backyard fence and gate are secure. While you know your dog, others don't - and no one can predict how a dog will act at all times.
R-E-S-P-E-C-T: Use caution around dogs you don't know. Never leave kids and dogs unattended - dogs and kids don't speak the same language and rarely understand what the other is doing. Teach children how to act around dogs, and remind them dogs are living beings with feelings just like them! (Dogs don't "get" hugs - and running up to a dog is an aggressive move in their world!)
By the way - HAWS is having a "Kitten Shower" on Saturday, June 9th. Help us care for the hundreds of new little babies with monetary donations or kitten food/formula donations. Learn how YOU can become a foster caregiver, or, if its the right time for you, adopt a kitten or mother cat. HAWS is "expecting" - share our joy!

Some Thoughts on Memorial Day
Some of my thoughts on this Memorial Day are with the men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice for the USA in a non-partisan way. There are no political campaigns in the military which is made up of people, both men and women, of more social and ethnic diversity then we have in the civilian sector. Just imagine a military that engaged in the social and political issues that the civilian population does each day. Through hell and high water the military has survived the hatred that some people in the civilian population have for each other. We should be proud to have two major political parties that anyone can join or not join without government interference.
Being a Republican or a Democrat does not mean that you and your party agenda is always right.
Memorial Day - And Remembering
St. Augustine was not just a theologian; the 5th Century Bishop was one of the great philosophers of Western antiquity. In his epic work The City of God, he wrote of how the human capacity of memory, the power to first recall and then reflect upon things past, was one of the singular capabilities things that set man apart form the beasts.
The origin of Memorial Day lies in the war torn Confederacy when in May of 1862, a group of Confederate widows spent a day decorating the graves of their fallen husbands. The tradition took hold and became known throughout the South as Decoration Day. By the 1880's this practice evolved into Memorial Day, and ever since, May 30 has been the day established to recognize and remember our Nation's fallen Veterans.
I take the name of this article from the ancient lines of the Greek Poet Simonides:
"Go tell the Spartans, those that passeth by,
That here, obedient to their laws, we lie".
These lines refer to King Leonidas and his heroic group of three hundred Spartans who blocked the Pass of Thermopylae, protecting their homeland from the advance of Xerxes' Persian Army. They knew they would die and yet chose to stay. They did so because they were raised to believe some things were worth more than their lives.
On Memorial Day of 2008 I think of many people. I think first of my father, father-in-law, and two uncles, World War Two Veterans all. And I think of Brookfield Central Lancer and US Army Sergeant Scott Brown, and remember his young family.
I think of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, who penned their names to a document ending with the words "and to this Declaration we pledge our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor". For their audacity in signing, many would dangle at the end of a British rope. Today, as we watch the pathetic saga of John Edward's trial unfold, we remember an age in which the political leaders of our yet unformed Nation actually believed that.
I think of Winston Churchill, alone and magnificent, defying Hitler as he proclaimed to the imperiled Free World, "We shall never surrender".
I think of Douglas MacArthur, America's greatest soldier and a distant relative of Churchill's. I envision him in his eighties on the plain of West Point where Brookfield East graduate Jon Lehman now marches, jaw still firm and shoulders square as he gave his last public address to the graduating Cadets, proclaiming as the theme of his address: "Duty, Honor, Country".
I think of the opening scenes of Spielberg's masterpiece Saving Private Ryan, filmed at the American Cemetery at Normandy. I hear the rustle of the enormous, overarching American flags lofting in the Channel-fed breezes as they kept their watchful, silent vigil over the fallen.
I think of another cemetery - Arlington National - a place of such reverential beauty that it beggars description. The Cemetery rests upon land that once belonged to the family of Robert E. Lee; it was confiscated by the Federal Government after the Civil War. I suspect that Lee would approve of how his land is being used.

Marquette poll: Walker up 7%, but what about voter fraud?
One would have to be living under a rock to not know the eyes of the nation are upon Wisconsin's Walker recall election on June 5th. It's not often the Weekly Standard covers our elections in such detail: Tom Barrett Fires Blanks at Scott Walker... and Barrett Can't Name Any Schools Hurt by Walker....
Emotions are running high with campaign ads bombarding the airwaves, the mailbox stuffed with politician post cards, and political phone calls (live and robo) taunting us from morning to night. Everyone in Wisconsin who votes needs to vote for 2 separate races: Governor AND Lt. Governor. For me that would be Scott Walker and Rebecca Kleefisch. In areas where there is also a State Senate recall, they will need to vote for State Senator too. Without our Republican Senators holding their seats, Wisconsin can forget any major legislation passing. (Margins are already razor thin--remember the jobs creating mining bill defeat?)
One thing is for certain--I think we will all breathe a sigh of relief when this is over. I hope I will be smiling when the results are in.
But turnout is key to a Walker win. Though the latest Marquette University Law School poll shows Walker at 52% to Barrett's 45%, with a margin of error of +/- 4.1% points, I am very concerned about the percentage of fraudulent votes cast for Barrett. So we have to outvote the fraud. If you want to help get out the vote in support of the Governor, the GOP Victory Centers are still looking for people to man the phones from 9am - 9pm to make calls from now through Tuesday.
Now if we had our Voter ID law in place, I would be breathing a little easier right now. But with reports of the huge numbers of early voting going on by the busload in Madison and Milwaukee, including Memorial Day, I am uneasy. They usually say Republicans need to outvote Democrats by about 2% to counter voter fraud. In this recall election, I think that percentage will be much higher. Let's face it, without a photo ID, casting a vote at a City Hall--as someone other than yourself--is much easier than at the poll on election day, where poll workers are often familiar with the voters in their wards.

It's Alexandra's birthday today..great big 21 ,I think.
Happy Birthday to her!
I am sure this has been discussed before in other threads, but since it looks that these two teams will be rivaling each other this year and next- will Piper be a Canadian Citizen in time for the 2014 games?
i don't know where to post my question... i'll try here. I'd like to understand how the Polka works.. I used the Thornhill video of P/I's beautiful SD and the detailed score from Salt Lake comp. It says:
Yankee Polka 1st Sec Yankee Polka 1st Sec 4 + kpYYY
Yankee Polka 2nd Sec Yankee Polka 2nd Sec 2 + kpNNY
What I would like to know is, where does the 2section start? i can't quite figure. it looks like one sequence only to me.
I suppose Piper can have her citizenship fast tracked. Getting citizenship is normally a very long process here in Canada, but if there are extenuating circumstances (like an athlete trying to become eligable for the Olympics), they can often appeal, and find a way to speed up the process. I know this was done for Kaitlyn Weaver before the 2010 games. Though she and Poje, didn't end up making it, Kaitlyn was eligable. That being said, the timeline between now and Sochi is much tighter, although one would expect that they have already started with the proceedings. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
Piper's mother will be a citizen soon so she will be fast tracked under a different process.

Nebelhorn is just around the corner! Any leads on a good place to find pics/videos/reports??
Last year at least 2 fans posted numerous Nebelhorn videos - links will be posted in the competition thread in Kiss and Cry and I'm sure any Paul/Islam vids will make their way here.

Lovely. Both programs looked superb, and those twizzles!!! I was especially impressed by the FD, which looked a bit smoother than it did a few weeks back (when it already looked more than competition ready). There were a couple of awkward moments in the FD at Thornhill that I noticed, and here it looked like they re-choreographed all of them. Wishing them the best for Nebelhorn!!!
Here are some pics from the Nebelhorn Trophy! P/I are in the mix. Wishing them a fantastic FD tomorrow.
Hello all! Nebelhorn is in the books, and it seems P/I had a good competition and result overall. I haven't been able to tack down any videos, but there are pics on absoluteskating.com, as well as the link I posted above. P/I were also invited to skate in the gala, and thanks to Absolute Skating we finally know what their exhibition music is. Apparently it's "In Your Eyes" by Peter Gabriel, though I have no idea what version.
P/I are registered for COS sectionals, which will be held the first few days of November. R/H and G/P are also on the list (though both teams have already qualified for nationals - P/I have not), so it should be a really great competiton. It'll be interesting to see how the scores line up.
