Another brand was "prescribed" by our Chiropractor for my husband who has Diabetes. This is far more economical than the powder form he was using and has the same ratio of ingredients. Too soon to tell if it is helping him with neuropathy issues, but I prefer the price and the brand seems trustworthy!

One of the few products that delivers what it promises. After one month, you will feel and 'remember' the difference.

I buy this product because I get migaine headaches. My husband takes it for seizure control. Lately, md's prescribe seizure meds to prevent migraine headaches. I take this when I first feel a migraine coming on, and it takes the punch out of it. I still have to take meds sometime, but this helps a lot. Also helps clear up thinking when I have a headache. My hubby still takes seizure meds, but the doses are lower. My husband's seizures are caused by him being mugged and having the whole right frontal lobe being removed...in other words, traumatic brain injury. Still advisable to stay on seizure meds, we just use this for backup. But great for helping with all kinds of headaches.

I am trying this complex because of the benefits I have researched on this supplement. I chose it because it is one of the few that has all of the "Phosphatidyl" elements in a good balance. I have not taken it long enough to evaluate the supplements effectiveness.

Docent Memorial Lecture: Alexander Calder: Innovations at the Wadsworth Atheneum: Alexander Calder and the Wadsworth share a long history together. From his formative years to the installation of Stegosaurus in 1973 and later, Calder was honored by the museum through the acquisition of works.
Dr. Joan Marter, Board of Governors Professor of Art History at Rutgers University, will present Calder's works in the context of his relationship with the Wadsworth and Hartford over the course of his artistic career. This lecture is free and open to the public.
Thanks to A. Everett "Chick" Austin, the museum's legendary director, Calder designed a kinetic set for a performance of Socrates, a musical composition by Erik Satie. Performed in Hartford in 1936, it was re-created at New York's Beacon Theater in 1977. Dr. Marter will present Calder's original sketches for the project, photographs of the later performance, as well as sculptures and other works in the context of his relationship with the museum over the course of his artistic career.
This lecture is sponsored by the Docent Council of the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art.

There are a couple of reasons for this. One is investors hoping for a big end-of-year payout. The other, more complicated reason, is that investors buying PC stocks are saying Wall Street is just too negative on the group.
In a climate of year-end special dividends, these high-paying PC names might be thought to have something to announce in the waning days of 2012, similar to Oracle ORCL -0.12% Oracle Corp.

Intel hasn't announced anything, but it has been kind to investors, with a 4.5% dividend yield. Last week the company said it would issue $6 billion in senior notes of various vintages, which some on Wall Street speculated could mean either more buybacks or more dividends.
There's been nothing so far from H-P, but it also offers a handsome 3.8% yield. Dell has a 3.1% yield, and the announcement last Thursday of a regular quarterly dividend payable Jan. 2 seems to dash any exciting prospects before year's end. But still, one can hope.
The more complex reason these names might be up is simply that conventional wisdom seems just too negative.
There was an avalanche of dire words from the sell side last week regarding PCs. Two boutique shops, Detwiler Fenton and MKM Partners, published notes to clients saying that sales of Microsoft's MSFT -0.97% Microsoft Corp.

Research firm IDC Wednesday raised its outlook for tablet computer sales this year and next, based on cheaper models coming to market and driving demand, and it is the tablet, after all, which appears to be putting PCs in the doldrums.
It all seems to tempt a contrarian view, but I'll resist. I think the warm good feeling about PC stocks will fade. Not only is the market truly troubled, as we've written before, the attention of the entire technology world is simply turning elsewhere.
ONE OF THE MORE TANTALIZING themes is Google's effort to wire homes with a billion bits worth of broadband at a dirt-cheap price.
The "Google Fiber" project, as it's called, offers subscribers a gigabit of Internet for $70 a month, after a $300 installation fee, which Google is currently waiving.

When I asked Greenfield whether Google Fiber could go national—Kansas City is currently its sole test market—he replied, "They are far more serious than people give them credit for."
"My suspicion is it's going to grow, based on Google's interest in expanding its user base," Greenfield adds, "and based, too, on the fact that anyone who can afford this [$70 a month] would want to have it, no question." Whether it will really come to many other cities depends on how quickly Google can move into other markets, given that it took it two years to get into one market.
Blair Levin, a fellow at the Communications and Society Program at the Aspen Institute who helped draft the FCC's national broadband plan in 2010, tells me that "the real genius of what Google is doing is that they've figured out how to deliver a gigabit of bandwidth much more cheaply."
As Levin sees it, there are two costs to broadband, capital expenditures, and operating expenditures. Leaving aside the raw cost of fiber, Google's got most everyone beat when it comes to running a big network. "There are only a few companies in the world that can get operating expense down to the kind of level Google has got it when you're talking about transporting bits," he says.
Google won't take over broadband overnight—it will take many years—but it's the kind of exciting investment—a bet on a market "disruptor," a bet on the future of television, a bet against the cable companies—that is seriously interesting to a tech investor, and much more interesting than wondering how many PCs will be sold this year and next.
ALSO IN THE CATEGORY OF INTERESTING new bets, the Firsthand Technology Value fund (SVVC), which represents one of the few public ways to play private tech outfits, last week said it increased its stake in Twitter, the social-networking service. I asked manager Kevin Landis why he would increase his stake, to 7.5% of the fund, given that his much-publicized investment in Facebook FB -1.31% Facebook Inc.

One answer is simple: Twitter's a bit cheaper these days. From prices above $20 on private market exchanges such as SecondMarket and SharesPost, Twitter stock of late can be had for around $17.
Still, Landis has no access to the company's financials, and after the Facebook disaster, you'd think he'd be wary.
But "I think the guys at Twitter have learned from watching Facebook," he insists. "I think they have learned not to go public until you're absolutely ready to do so, and they've learned not to price their IPO to perfection."
Landis views Twitter as both the successor to instant messaging, and perhaps the perfect form of opt-in, direct-mail advertising. "The beauty of Twitter is that you subscribe to hear news about things you care about," he points out. "That is going to make advertising on Twitter much, much more valuable."

In all, seven major items were passed by council members, including capping the city's property tax rate at $3.64 per $100 of assessed value. The council had the authority to raise the property tax rate up to the state Legislature's recently approved addition of 3 cents outside the cap, which would have given the council the ability to hike the tax to $3.66 per $100 of assessed value.
With Monday's approval of the city budget recommendations, the public will have a chance to comment at a hearing at 9 a.m. May 15. The city manager and financial services director will then file the final budget with the Nevada Department of Taxation by June 1.
The only council member to ask the city for the property tax hike was Julia Ratti. Ratti, who represents Ward 1, proposed a motion to raise the property tax, which "sank like the Titanic," according to other council members.
The police officers and code enforcement officer recruitment process started in January because of the extended length of time it usually takes to recruit an officer, City Manager Shaun Carey told council members.
"The city manager felt those were warranted positions," city spokesman Adam Mayberry said. "Everything we do has to meet certain timelines. We are up against a clock. Our budget numbers change monthly depending upon what we receive from the state."
Councilman Ed Lawson agreed that hiring additional officers was warranted. Sparks currently has one officer per 2,000 residents,
"You can't expect a patrol officer to do the work of two," Lawson said.
Each penny of increased tax rate was expected to generate an additional $189,000 of general fund revenue for the city after abatement was calculated, according to Chief Financial Officer Jeff Cronk.
Carey did not recommend raising the property tax rate.
"Property taxes — it's all about taxes now," Cronk said. "They peaked in 2005 when the average value of a house in Sparks was $305,000. Now, it's $150,000. Even if we got back to a modicum of growth, it would still take 21 years to get the real values back. What we're seeing now is a lot of volatility."
Cronk explained to the council the history of the housing market. At this time, Cronk said, most homes selling at the $150,000 price are being purchased by investors. The city collects its property taxes quarterly — in August, October, January and March.
As far as the state's economic index, the picture is looking better, he said.
"In Nevada, we're finally seeing a little bit of a bounce," Cronk said. "It's nice that we're actually seeing some activity. Seventy-five percent of the state's economic engine is being driven by the south."
However, Cronk said, visitor counts and gaming income remain flat.
Interestingly, the air traffic crisis that occurred following the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, when traffic dropped off, hit a low that is now becoming the new norm.
"We're below what happened in 2001," Cronk said. "Consistently, we're now below that key time there."
Permitting in the city was up 6.9 percent last year.
Carey also proposed and the council approved filling two fire fighter positions, a part-time victim advocate position pending the loss of grant funding, a contracted plans examination services position funded within the development services fund and the approval to contract services to help city staff overhaul the city's development ordinances.
The budget also calls for transferring $60,000 to the general fund from the development services fund to begin paying back the $1.1 million general fund subsidy paid during fiscal years 2010 and 2011.
Council members also approved reducing the Health Insurance Fund contributions and premium rates by 8 percent. This will provide $400,000 in savings for the general fund, according to the budget.
The city manager asked to commit $200,000 of business license revenue to comply with a federal fund balance requirement.
Carey also received permission to fund the creation of the "Employees Retirement Benefits Fund" as a vehicle to accumulate assets to offset post-employment benefits, such as ongoing health care for former employees as part of a retirement package.
The city manager's projections for the fiscal year 2013 budget recommendations identify actions designed to meet the council's policy of maintaining a minimum ending fund balance equal to 8.3 percent of total expenditures, according to the budget report.
Looking ahead to fiscal year 2014, the city identifies a shortfall of some $3.1 million, assuming revenues remain flat. In anticipation, Carey sought authority to launch a second round of the Sparks Sustainable Services Initiative to prioritize core city services in order to put the city government on realistic a fiscal path in line with revenues.
In its last item regarding the Consolidated Tax Revenue, made up mostly of sales tax, the city's CTAX proceeds totaled some $1.58 million that remained unspent mainly because the city did not proceed with a full design of the City Hall complex previously considered for Victorian Square.
The budget asked the council members to approve the C Street parking garage phase 2 repairs at a cost of $600,000; City Hall electrical upgrades at a cost of $900,000 to $1 million; and Victorian Square plaza enhancements at a cost of $2.53 million.

Moms Who Rock: 7 Musical Mothers Singing for a Cause
Marc Pollick, president and founder of The Giving Back Fund says, "Encouragement by example is the main reason we compile this list. One cannot help but be influenced by the generosity of his or her peers." When I looked for moms in the music industry who were passionately connected to charities I found all kinds of ways that they were giving back. Not every musician gave a giant chunk of money. Some also make a huge difference simply by encouraging their fans to get involved. These mamas raise families, record songs, and plan tours. These Mamas rock. They don't just rock in a head nod kind of way. They really rock. They rock for a cause. -By Dresden Shumaker

Christopher Murray Grieve (nom de plume, 'Hugh MacDiarmid'), 1892 - 1978. Poet and writer 1978
- Scottish Art
This work is part of a series of portraits of Scottish poets commissioned by the Scottish Arts Council. At this time in Scotland there existed an outstanding generation of poets. Christopher Murray Grieve was one of the most important literary figures of twentieth-century Scotland, now recognised as the principal force of the Scottish Literary Renaissance. Is a study for the much larger painting 'Hugh MacDiarmid (Hymn to Lenin)' which shows the poet against a landscape that Moffat saw as symbolising Scotland. The figures include Lenin, Mayakovsky and the Scottish Socialist Revolutionary, John MacLean. Grieve had strong political beliefs and he co-founded the National Party of Scotland, today's SNP.

Gurdurr has good physical bulk, with base stats of 85 in Defense and HP. It also resists Stealth Rock, allowing it to easily enter the field. Although Gurdurr's Special Defense is lacking, with the new Eviolite item its Special Defense can actually reach a maximum of 327. However, with the many offensive Psychic-type Pokemon in the tier such as Azelf, Gurdurr still has a hard time. It also has a low Speed stat, like most bulky Pokemon, but this is somewhat remedied by Mach Punch, and the lack of Leftovers is covered by Drain Punch. Bulk Up also makes sure that Gurdurr will hit hard with its great base Attack stat of 105, while boosting its already high Defense stat. At the same time, Gurdurr has the ability Guts, making it even more impressive defensively and offensively, as the opponent will be wary of inflicting it with status. Overall, Gurdurr is a dangerous offensive and defensive threat, and it shouldn't be underestimated.
This is Gurdurr's best set and the only set it should ever use. Bulk Up boosts Gurdurr's already high Attack and Defense stats to even higher levels. Drain Punch allows Gurdurr to dish out damage and make up for the lack of Leftovers and any other form of recovery outside of Rest. Payback takes care of Psychic- and Ghost-types that resist Gurdurr's Fighting-type moves. Mach Punch gives Gurdurr a welcomed priority move, and can really help take on faster and frailer opponents. Alternatively, Rest gives Gurdurr instant recovery and cures it from any status it may have, as when Gurdurr is setting up with Bulk Up, it will be worn down fast despite its bulk. Hammer Arm can be used over Drain Punch if you opt to use Rest.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
Gurdurr has a lot of Fighting-type moves that it can use, but Drain Punch, Mach Punch, and Hammer Arm are its best options; however, Brick Break, Low Sweep, and Superpower might come in handy. Focus Punch can be used in combination with Substitute. Gurdurr also has access to DynamicPunch, but can't use it successfully, as it doesn't have No Guard like Machamp has. Toxic can help take down some Pokemon easier, while Taunt shuts down Pokemon that might want to set up on you. Poison Jab hits Tangrowth harder than Gurdurr's other moves.
Checks and Counters
Against Gurdurr, Tangrowth can do whatever he pleases with Leech Seed, but lacks any hard hitting move to outright KO Gurdurr. It does, however, have access to Sleep Powder to put Gurdurr out of commission. If Gurdurr lacks Stone Edge, a physically defensive Zapdos will take little damage from its attacks, and Zapdos can also use Roar to force Gurdurr to switch out. Togekiss and Yanmega hit hard with Air Slash. Yanmega resists Gurdurr's Fighting-type moves, and Togekiss can paralyze Gurdurr and make it flinch until it's KOed. However, Togekiss needs to be careful of Guts, and both of them need to watch out for Stone Edge. Slowbro takes little damage from Gurdurr's attacks thanks to its high Defense stat, and can threaten Gurdurr with Psychic. Pokemon that have access to Roar or Dragon Tail, and Pokemon that have access to Haze, such as Suicune and Milotic, can stop Gurdurr's attempts to set up. Also, Knock Off users make Gurdurr practically useless defensively, and any hard hitting special move will KO it.

Apple To Replace iPod Nanos Due To Battery Problem
By Wire Service | Sunday | 13/11/2011
Do you own an early model iPod Nanos that is having battery problems?
If so Apple is set to replace all first generation iPod models that were sold between September 2005 and December 2006.
The problem according to several Apple forums is that the devices are overheating due to a manufacturing defect. What is not known is why Apple has taken so long to respond to the problem.
A recent post advises owners to stop using the device immediately and take action to fill in a replacement form to gain a replacement.
"This issue has been traced to a single battery supplier that produced batteries with a manufacturing defect. While the possibility of an incident is rare, the likelihood increases as the battery ages," said the post.
Apple says it'll take six weeks to receive your new nano, so get digging around your boxes of haggard old tech, because a shiny upgrade waits in the wings.

IOWA CITY — Eastern Iowa wasn't the only road trip this weekend for Nebraska basketball coach Tim Miles.
He was in Kansas on Friday night to watch a potential big-man recruit — 6-foot-8, 250-pound Leslee Smith of Seward County (Kan.) Community College.
Smith is from Long Look, British Virgin Islands. He played his freshman season at SMU under then-coach Matt Doherty, starting six games and playing in 25. He averaged 3.8 points and 3.4 rebounds for the Mustangs while shooting 44 percent from the field and 57 percent from the free-throw line.
This season, for 25-7 Seward County, Smith averages 8.4 points and 6.7 rebounds. He is shooting 50 percent from the field and the line. Seward County is the same school Husker redshirt Deverell Biggs attended last year.
Nebraska has two scholarships available for next season and needs front-court players. The Huskers already have offered 6-9, 230-pound Matthew Atewe. The Toronto resident plays at Notre Dame Academy in Fitchburg, Mass. He has said NU is among six schools he is considering.
Nebraska signed three perimeter players in November — 6-3 Tai Webster of Auckland, New Zealand; 6-6 Nick Fuller of Sun Prairie, Wis.; and 6-5 Nathan Hawkins of Garland, Texas.
Gesell update
Iowa point guard Mike Gesell, who has missed the past four games with a foot injury, sounded unsure Saturday what his prospects are for returning in time for this week's Big Ten tournament.
"I just don't know when I'm going to be back," said the freshman from South Sioux City, Neb., who started the Hawkeyes' first 27 games. "We'll have to wait and see."
His injury occurred in the first Nebraska-Iowa game, won by NU 64-60.
NCAA campaign
Iowa coach Fran McCaffery thinks 20 wins and a 9-9 record in the Big Ten is worth a long look from the NCAA selection committee.
"I think we deserve tremendous consideration," he said. "I definitely feel we're one of the best 68 teams.
"You look at how we played in our losses, we had a double-overtime loss, an overtime loss, we played Michigan State without our leading scorer and we won three out of four without our starting point guard. We've accomplished a great deal."
Strength of schedule is Iowa's problem. The Hawkeyes' non-league slate is ranked among the bottom 10 in the country. They played five teams with RPIs between 302 and 342. There are 347 Division I teams.
Bits and pieces
� Roy Devyn Marble reached the 1,000-point mark for his career with his first basket Saturday. His father, Roy Marble, is Iowa's all-time leading scorer with 2,116 points. They are the first father-son duo to reach 1,000 points in Big Ten history.
� Andre Almeida had another strong 17 minutes for Nebraska, with four points and two blocks. He started the second half in place of David Rivers.
� The Iowa student section drew a houseful of chuckles by getting on some Huskers. The group chanted "over-weighted" at the 6-11, 340-pound Almeida and "Gary Coleman" at 5-9 Benny Parker. Miles told people near the Nebraska bench he doubted Parker even knows who Gary Coleman is.
� Former Iowa quarterback Brad Banks attended and was introduced.

Increased reliability and indoor positioning based on hybrid GPS and mobile network attributes
Although GPS is a widespread technology, GPS positioning is not always possible, particularly in shielded environments such as indoors and enclosed park houses, or when a GPS jamming signal is present. The situation can be improved by augmenting GPS receiver data with mobile network cell attributes to provide a level of redundancy that can benefit numerous applications.
u-blox, through its in-house development of wireless transceiver modules, has embedded cellular positioning technology, CellLocate®, into its SARA-G3 and LEON-G1 family of 2G as well as LISA-U2 and SARA-U2 family of 3G wireless modules. The technology enables stand-alone location estimation based on surrounding GSM/UMTS cell information in conjunction with GPS positioning data to improve positioning in several use cases:
The above scenarios exploit the combination of Cellular and GPS positioning data (Hybrid positioning) to deliver better results than GPS technology could accomplish alone:
u-blox' CellLocate cellular positioning technology is an embedded feature implemented in u-blox SARA/LEON 2.5G and LISA 3.75G wireless modem families. Click here to download the whitepaper: "Hybrid Positioning and CellLocate"

Bardia Kamrad
Operations and Information Management Area Coordinator
Professor of Operations
Bardia Kamrad's primary research interest focuses on risk management and decision making problems in the face of uncertainty. Within this broad area, he has principally concentrated on operational risk management issues and related capital investment problems in production and manufacturing operations. The nature of Kamrad's research is interdisciplinary and effectively can be described as the interface between economics, finance, and operations. In this sense, one of his key research objectives has been to reconcile operations management with market and process related problems. "Essentially, through bridging such gaps, a more in-depth understanding and a greater economic perception regarding production processes can be achieved that is also strategically valuable to decision makers in this arena."
Kamrad has numerous related articles that address the joint problems of pricing, warranty and supply contracts, risk and profit sharing, and quality decisions within an options/economic framework. For instance, the risk associated with producing items when price uncertainty and system failures can be managed through innovative "warranty" contracts that include the moral hazard implications arising from shared expenditures. In other situations, his research uncovers how purchasing agreements with profit sharing provisions between a manufacturer and its suppliers can help mitigate operating risks arising from purchase quantity variations due to exchange rate uncertainties. In other settings, Kamrad's research demonstrates how production policies can be optimally changed over time to maximize profits when production yields are subject to random variation and demand for the product is uncertain.
Kamrad's broader research interests involve Applied Stochastic Processes; Applied Control Theory and Dynamic Programming; Contingent Claims Analysis; Warranty and Supply Contract valuation; Risk Management problems in Supply Chains; and Inventory modeling. His research has been published in prestigious academic journals, including Management Science; Operations Research; IIE Transactions; Naval Research Logistics; IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management; and the European Journal of Operational Research. Kamrad is a member of the Institute for Operations Research and Management Science (INFORMS) and Production and Operations Management Society (POMS). He also is a member of the American Finance Association (AFA), the Institute of Industrial Engineers (IIE), and the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE). Kamrad's consulting experience is equally noteworthy and includes projects in risk management modeling, purchasing and inventory problems, and pricing and forecasting issues. Kamrad teaches at the executive, graduate, and undergraduate levels. His current course offerings include: Real Options Valuation; Operations Research; Productions and Operations Management, Regression Analysis; and Quantitative Modeling.
Kamrad earned a bachelor's degree in civil engineering from the University of Minnesota, a master's degree in industrial management/technology management from the University of Wisconsin, and both master's and doctoral degrees in operations research with a minor in operations management from the Weatherhead School of Management at Case Western Reserve University.

GreatSchools Rating
We sought out an education for our only child that would cultivate a lifelong love of learning while fostering her natural artistic abilities - all of which Tamarack Waldorf provides.
An urban school with a homey feel: Tamarack provides a warm and loving environment for my three children and, at the same time, an open and supportive community for our whole family. It is a beautiful school full of substance. You get the sense that the children who receive this education are made different by it: when I see the children at Tamarack, I witness self-confidence and a real interest in others, and the world. I imagine this would not be possible without some pretty amazing teachers, a strength of character in the school as a whole, and great leadership. Kudos! And thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for making my children's educational lives so very lively, and full of meaning and purpose -- and love.
Tamarack is a unique, diverse, urban Waldorf school that has provided both my 9 year old daughter and my 8 year old son with exceptional educational experiences. The faculty at Tamarack are well-trained, experienced educators who whole-heartedly embrace the philosophical foundations of Waldorf education. The curriculum, the spirit of the school, and the emphasis on social interaction as a means of personal growth are the three main reasons we chose Tamarack in the first place. And they are the reasons we continue to love and invest in our school.
I have 2 children attending Tamarack Waldorf and I could not be happier with the staff, administration and school community. I have been especially grateful for the shifting in "keeping children young" and away from the fast paced life that threatens to overtake us. I am very comfortable with the approach to academics, inclusion of nature and school celebrations. I could not be more thrilled with natural objects, supplies, and handiwork and the absence of advanced technology in the k3-8 grades. There is plenty of time and exposure for technology and my children are thriving in this enviroment. They are both happy to go to school each day and happy to return for school events. We as a family are fortunate to have a Waldorf school so close.
My child has attended Tamarack since K4. We didn't know much about Waldorf education in advance of enrollement, and primarily chose Tamarack because it was a neighborhood school that seemed to reflect our values. The diverse community reflects the world that we want our child to experience as normal. Our child tends towards the dreamy and artistic side of her nature, and we appreciate the fact that this is nurtured by the school community. The Waldorf model does require a commitment by the family, and the relationship to the classroom teacher is central to that - of the parent(s) and of the child. So perhaps that is not always for everyone. But if trust can established and communications are open on both sides, it is a great option for families to consider for their children in the greater Milwaukee area.
My daughter started at this school in K4, and I love watching how this school nurtures her and prepares her for the road ahead. She is now in first grade and everyday she comes home excited about the Spanish lesson, the handwork, drawing and music she is learning. I love how the school teaches the whole. I am able to watch my daughter learn her Spanish through songs and action. Instead of straight memorizing. By learning multiple ways she will have a better chance at remembering. I am so thankful my daughter is able to be taught all subjects, including physical activity and the arts. I am very blessed to be part of this community.
This is an excellent waldorf k-8 school that teaches the whole child from the inside out, these students are fully prepared to enter and compete when they reach high school. I like the knitting, music and movement classes. As well as the spanish and drawing lessons.The fairy tale stories and story like math concepts in first grade prepare the children with a rich and expressive life in reading and math. At Tamarak learning is like building with blocks, each lesson, each concept creates a whole picture. This is a community school where everyone helps to build a great school and parental involvement is the key to a child's success. My only wish for the school is to have it be Spanish Immersion, I've gone to Spanish Immersion schools and I truly enjoyed being immersed in the language and the culture and I want that for my kids.
Though a bit skeptical at first, I've been surprised and pleased by the care, nurture, and intellectual rigor of each teacher my kids have had. They each, in turn, have crafted a classroom experience that activates my kids gifts, confronts their challenges (and challenging behaviors) and awakens their interests. This is due, in part, to what seems to be a great balance between individual and communal focus, imagination and intellect, work and play. Also, because it's a voucher school, it's affordable and allows for greater socioeconomic and racial diversity. Overall, the quality of education and care is top-notch, the aesthetic is soothing and restful and the community is vibrant.
Tamarack is the type of school I wish I could have attended! It aligns with my belief that children should be nutured in the younger grades and provided a loving/home-like environment. I also love that the children of all ages are encouraged in the arts and allowed lots of outside time.
Tamarack nurtures the individual child's sense of self and community with gentle but structured methods that have been shown to be academically sound. Instead of spending hours sitting still and being fed data, children move and explore their world in developmentally-appropriate ways. The result? Kids who are clear-thinking, self-motivated, and passionate about learning for a lifetime. My daughter flourished in this environment as her first school experience, coming home each day tired from lots of activity, but grounded from the structured and beautiful routines and uncluttered environment. I really appreciate the school's focus on educating the family, not just the child, through send-home articles and meetings designed to support creativity, healthy growth, and the development of compassionate and clear-thinking kids and adults.
Our family have been with Tamarack for the last four years. We LOVE it! The holistic - mind, body and spirit approach to our children and the respect for childhood are HUGE. Children go outside everyday where they are fed by this time out in the world and fresh air playing. Children are met where they are at and encouraged to their best selves. Each child valued for the wonder and magic they bring to the classroom & world. We also very much love the sense of community we experience with other parents & families. Folks respect one another and are able to come together from various walks of life to offer ourselves to our children and the community. It is really a life-giving place.
It has been my pleasure to meet and speak with nearly all of the staff member of this fine school. I truly believe that each one of them have the desire to deliver a quality educational experience for all the children in their care.
We have been with Tamarack for almost 9 years. We have three children who've attended since the early childhood class, and have never had a problem. I'm confident that my children are safe and loved by all the teachers and staff. I wouldn't even consider sending my children anywhere else.
My child was treated very poorly by the staff at this school - mainly the early childhood staff. Early childhood teachers in the Waldorf community are supposed to be grandmotherly - warm and nurturing. What we experienced was very far from loving. They are also not accepting of children with differing needs - or "perceived needs" - and don't use proper channels to assess whether a child is right for their school or not. It's a shame that what should be a lovely school makes so many young children feel sad and disliked. I hope that their early childhood program is able to improve to better meet the needs of Milwaukee's youth.
Worth every penny. Beyond being an amazing Waldorf school, Tamarack offers art, music, woodworking, movement, foreign language, diversity and a community of teachers, parents and staff who are involved and caring. My children love going to school, because Tamarack instills a love of learning.
Tamarack Waldorf School has brought our family so much happiness. We moved back to Milwaukee so that my three boys could attend this school. My eldest son, after one day in his new class, was jumping up and down for joy. He said he had never been happier, and it is true. I have never experienced him so satisfied and content, day after day, as he comes home from school. His teacher is warm, friendly, funny, affectionate, clear and fair. We are so very happy to have found our home at Tamarack and in the community here. Thank you to both the teaching faculty and the administrative staff, who are just top-notch.
We love Tamarack - not only for its wonderful Waldorf education, but for its caring and diverse community. As a parent of two children now in high school, I value how they were prepared to face the challenges of a rigorous college preparatory high school. Fall in love with the kindergartens and stay for the grades!
I am an educator, however I am not employed at Tamarack. I have five grandchildren at Tamarack and not only am I impressed with the caring, conscientious, and devoted faculty and staff, but also with the overall Waldorf philosophy that is so evident in every classroom. I find that the children are ready and waiting for each phase of development with a sense of awe and wonder and with an enthusiasm for learning. I cannot imagine my grandchildren at any other school. Tamarack's Cream City historical building is set in a beautiful and vibrant urban community. I highly encourage parents to consider visiting Tamarack Waldorf when looking for a school for their children.
Tamarack is a strong Waldorf school with a fully integrated arts program, a commitment to diversity, and an active parent community. It prepares students well for the highest-regarded public and private high schools in the Milwaukee area. The students are taught the traditional academic subjects in a unique way, one that draws out their own individual skills and cultivates an inquisitive approach to the world. Children are allowed to be children at Tamarack, and the pressures to compete or to fit a narrow idea of success are removed. Despite a curriculum that is not tailored to mainstream standardized testing goals, my own child has tested very well on exams. The parents are generally enthusiastic and engaged in the life of the school. The faculty are caring and talented, and the staff are dedicated and compassionate. It's a true community, with lots of different personalities, a lot of differences - period - but everyone there knows how special and wonderful Tamarack is and works hard to make the school a really good school. Words are cheap; if you get a chance to visit the school, you'll get it.
We have withdrawn our children because they were not safe at school - in the school or on the playground.

Ex-UK Great Gigs UT Buddy Over Win; Joker A Streak-Buster For Cats
November 28th, 2011 01:05 PM║ Posted By: John Pennington ║ Permalink
║ Schools: Kentucky, Tennessee
Tags: Federspiel Nobody, New Orleans Saints, UK, UT
In the 1970s and 80s, Joe Federspiel and Bobby Scott were teammates with the New Orleans Saints. Before that they became legends in their college days — Federspiel as a linebacker at Kentucky and Scott as a quarterback at Tennessee.
Saturday, just seconds after the Wildcats' streak-snapping victory over the Volunteers, Scott received a good-natured — and pretty funny — text from his old teammate, Federspiel:
"Nobody comes into (our) house and beats us 27 times."
It was that kind of day in the Bluegrass State. The joy of finally ending the nation's longest losing streak between annual opponents mixed with the bewilderment that UK had somehow managed to lose 26 in a row against UT in the first place.
But there's still another streak that's yet to be snapped by Kentucky. With a defeat this season, the Wildcats dropped their 25th game in a row to Florida.
Never fear, Cat fans, Joker is here.
Joker Phillips — the subject of job security rumors last week — is a Big Blue streak-stopper if nothing else. Last season, his first squad beat Steve Spurrier… a coach UK had never beaten at Florida or at South Carolina. Last weekend, he vanquished the Vols. Might the Gators be next? Having lost 11 games over the last two seasons — with a bowl game yet to play — Florida isn't as imposing as it once was.
Until Kentucky travels to Gainesville next fall, Cat fans and alums (like Federspiel) can at least enjoy the fact that — as UK broadcaster Tom Leach put it Saturday — "Ding, Dong, The Streak (against UT) is Dead."

TextureBuilder is a program to simplify the task of building several texture formats from six skybox images. The six different images represent the front, back, left, right, top, and bottom sides of a cube. They are combined to either a cross texture with the horizontal part up, a cross texture with the horizontal part down, a sideways cross texture, or a texture set including script files for the Torque 3D game engine.
NeoTextureEdit is an easy to use graph-based procedural seamless texture editor. NeoTexture is the associated run-time generation library. Using continuous basis functions, it can generate arbitrary resolution images without quality degradation. Its main purpose is to produce high-quality textures for real time rendering applications that can be stored in a few kB and synthesized on application startup. But it can also be used to generate off-line images.
crunch/crnlib is a lossy texture compression tool and library for developers that distributes and uses content in the DXT1/5/N or 3DC/BC5 compressed mipmapped texture formats. crnlib can compress mipmapped 2D textures and cubemaps to .8-1.25 bits/texel, and normal maps to 1.75-2 bits/texel. crnlib's quality and performance is competitive to transform-based solutions, or other offline/real-time DXTn compressors such as squish or ATI_Compress. crnlib implements a new form of "clustered" DXTn compression, with a compressed texture data format that was carefully designed to be very quickly transcodable directly to raw DXTn texture bits with no intermediate recompression step or individual pixel-level operations. The typical single threaded transcode to DXTn rate is equivalent to 100-250 megatexels/sec. Fast random access to individual mipmap levels is supported.
