How a late-night Luddite accidentally fought his way back into bedrooms (and computers, smartphones, and tablets) across America.
By Douglas Alden Warshaw, contributor
Conan O'Brien is in his bedroom. It's a little bit past 11 p.m., and he's shyly, hesitantly, nervously attempting to do his first webcast. But he keeps getting interrupted. And it's driving him crazy. "Get out of my room! Get out of my room! This is private!" O'Brien's embarrassed, and he's yelling at the top of his lungs. "Everybody get out!!!"
Okay, that's part of a skit from O'Brien's new late-night show, Conan, on TBS. But, almost exactly a year ago, more than a few people in the media business thought that O'Brien, freshly tossed off The Tonight Show by NBC after only seven months on the job, just might have to sit in his bedroom for a long time, and that performing a show on the web might actually be his only option. That was until more than a million people, most of them ages 18 to 49, started shouting, "We want Coco!" and the reinvention of Conan O'Brien from traditional television performer to multimedia brand began.
O'Brien's audience came to his rescue in a way that was inconceivable until it happened. In fact, it was inconceivable even while it was happening. More

Kegerator Accessories & Cleaning Kits: Enhance Your Kegerator & Keep It Clean
Kegerator cleaning kits are a necessity for keeping bacteria from growing in the beer lines. Kegerators need to be cleaned after every keg you finish. Other kegerator accessories such as tap handles and drip trays keep your kegerator looking nice. You can also enhance your kegerator by purchasing a triple faucet so three people can dispense beer at once at a party.

THE AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF VARIABLE STAR OBSERVERS 25 Birch Street, Cambridge, MA 02138 USA BITNET: aavso@cfaS SPAN: nssdca::cfa8::aavso Tel. 617-354-0484 FAX 617-354-0665 AAVSO ALERT NOTICE 158 (July 2, 1992) SUPERNOVA IN NGC 4411B We have been informed by Robert O. Evans (Hazelbrook, Australia), Chairman of the AAVSO Supernova Search Committee, and the Central Bureau for Astronomical Telegrams (IAU Circular 5552) of the visual discovery by Robert Evans of a supernova in NGC 4411B on July 1.375 UT at magnitude approximately 13.5. The supernova was visually confirmed by Thomas Cragg (Anglo-Australian Telescope, Coonabarabran, Australia) on July 2.4 UT. The supernova is situated 40 seconds east and 40 seconds south of the nucleus of the galaxy. The supernova's 1950 position, measured by Robert McNaught (Anglo-Australian Observatory), is R.A. = 12h 24m 17.04s Decl. = +90deg 09' 14.2" There is a magnitude 13.0 star on the northwest side of the galaxy at 12h 24m 10.24s, +090 10' 24.4". IAU Circular 5552 reports that spectroscopic observations at the Anglo-Australian Telescope on July 2 exhibited "hydrogen Balmer lines with characteristic P-Cyg line profiles, indicating a type-II supernova." Accompanying are finder charts of the field from the Photographic Atlas for Supernova Search, Volume II, by Manuel Lopez Alvarez, and from the AAVSO Variable Star Atlas. Also accompanying is the AAVSO "c" scale chart for R Virginis, which is fairly close to the galaxy. Congratulations to Bob on his first discovery of 1992! SUCCESSFUL LAUNCH OF NASA's EXTREME ULTRAVIOLET EXPLORER AND DETECTION OF FIRST UGHT NASA's Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer (EUVE) was successfully launched on June 7, 1992, from Cape Canaveral in Florida on a Delta rocket. All seven detectors of the EUVE observatory were turned on successfully on June 21, and the first EUV sky images were obtained. The satellite will begin its survey in late July. Together with the EUVE Science Team, we have finalized the targets that variable star observers worldwide will be monitoring for EUVE. All observers will be informed of these targets and finder chart information for them very soon. Please keep a close eye on observable cataclysmic variables, as most of the objects on our EUVE observing list are cataclysmic variables. Thank you very much for your effortS and your observations. Good observing! Janet A. Mettei Director

Series: "The Language of God" Book Club (7 entries)
The BioLogos Book Club discussion of Francis Collins' The Language of God.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
The BioLogos Book Club discussion of Francis Collins' The Language of God.
The upshot of all this is that, for the Christian, creator and created are not the same thing. And, more importantly, what is created is fully dependent upon its creator. The cosmos is not ontologically independent.
A deep love for scripture, coupled (ironically) with a lifelong struggle with religious doubt, led Robert Boyle to write several important books relating scientific and religious knowledge. We explore aspects of this fascinating interaction.
We can understand why man, modern man in particular, would like to mop the floors and bleach the walls. We might not be able to tame reality, but we can tame our perception of reality. We intellectualize in order to feel in control.
The affirmation of genuine chance and randomness in the universe does not rob the universe of meaning and purpose.
With From the Dust, it was our goal to help Christians see the complexity of the issues raised by modern science, as well as help them to courageously engage with the theological conversations happening within the sphere of Christian culture today.
The idea that the story we know is only the very beginning raises a new question in place of Feynman's objection that Christianity is provincial. Is it presumptuous to claim that in such a grand universe, possibly with intelligent life arising in many places, the redemption and transformation of the entire cosmos starts here, on our pale blue dot?
Critics of Christianity look to evolution to show how the emergence of human life on earth demanded enormous ruin and ravage, billions of years of apparent waste and futility, species extermination and organism road kill. Not only was the massive dying off rampant, it's mandatory too.
We are often offended that God should have to accomplish anything in steps, as though that made him less divine and all-powerful. But engaging a child can be a fruitful remedy for the biases that have been woven into the fabric of our thinking over time.
Over the next few months, with permission from Yale University Press, BioLogos will offer edited versions of chapters from John Polkinghorne's best books, Belief in God in an Age of Science and Theology in the Context of Science, in order to help readers delve more deeply into some of his most important ideas.
People who believe in miracles usually don't think of them as God's "breaking" the laws of nature but as God's being constantly attentive to his cosmos.
In this series, Kathryn Applegate addresses the concern that randomness implies the absence of God's activity and involvement in the natural world. She begins by clearing up some common misconceptions about the concept of "randomness", and later focuses on the mechanisms of the immune system to demonstrate that God works through random processes to preserve life. Far from being an indication of a "godless" universe, one might conclude that randomness is one of God's favorite mechanisms for creating and sustaining life!
For Darwin, both of these observations (that oceanic islands lacked terrestrial mammals, and that endemic species on islands were most similar to a species on the closest mainland) had the same explanation: his hypothesis that endemic, oceanic species were the modified descendants of a colonizing species from the nearest continent.
In this four part series, David Opderbeck explores the interesting relationship between God and his creation. He first looks at his transcendence over the material world. In one respect, God is completely distinct from all creation, yet he is also immanent, or present within all creation. Another aspect of God reflected in creation is his Triune nature. Just as love, fellowship, and delight exist within the Trinity, so these characteristics are present in the world, and experienced by humans. He completes his thoughts with a discussion about God's interaction with humans.
Congratulations to the 37 winners of the Evolution & Christian Faith (ECF) grants competition! ECF is a new BioLogos program designed to support projects and network-building among scholars, church leaders, and parachurch organizations.
A common argument leveled against the theory of evolution is that scientists have not been able to produce transitional fossils that show the change of one species into another. In this podcast, we address a common misconception about what transitional fossils actually are.
This series by Denis Alexander reflects on advancements in genomics as well as their theological implications. He focuses on the relatedness of hominin genomes, arguing that this does not interfere with the image of God in humans. The image of God depends more on the capacity for relationship and covenant, not on a list of particular physical qualities. He then discusses why the recent studies of genomics provide "no grounds for genetic determinism."
The BioLogos Foundation explains to the findings of the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) project and responds to the claims that its discoveries challenge the theory of evolution, especially regarding so-called "junk DNA".
The Denisovans, an extinct hominid group that interbred with modern humans, made the news again lately with the publication of a more detailed study of their genome. One of the many interesting findings was that the Denisovans share the same chromosome 2 fusion that modern humans have.

Find answers to the most important questions about our company.
In 1972, five former IBM employees founded the company they call SAP Systemanalyse und Programmentwicklung ("System Analysis and Program Development").Taking the initial form of a private partnership under the German Civil Code, the company establishes its headquarters in Weinheim, Germany, and opens an office in nearby Mannheim. However, SAP's five founders spend most of their time in the data centers of their first customers, which include the German branch of Imperial Chemical Industries in Östringen.

On January 21, 2014, the Company provided the following outlook for the full-year 2014:
The Company expects full year 2014 non-IFRS cloud subscription and support revenue to be in a range of €950 – €1,000 million at constant currencies (2013: €757 million). The upper end of this range represents a growth rate of 32% which is similar to the respective 2013 growth rate after adjusting for acquisitions.
The Company expects full year 2014 non-IFRS software and software-related service revenue to increase by 6% - 8% at constant currencies (2013: €14.03 billion).
The Company expects full-year 2014 non-IFRS operating profit to be in a range of €5.8 billion – €6.0 billion at constant currencies (2013: €5.51 billion).More »
With SAP HANA as the single platform for our entire product portfolio, delivered on-premise or in the Cloud, SAP will drive simplicity and business outcomes for its customers.
We expect the combination of a stable, highly-profitable core and fast-growing cloud business to deliver continued growth and margin expansion. The Company still aims to increase its total revenue to at least €20 billion and total revenue from its cloud business including cloud-related professional services to approximately €2 billion by 2015.
Looking beyond 2015, SAP is now introducing new 2017 targets. We aim to increase our total revenue to at least €22 billion and total revenue from our cloud business to €3.0 - €3.5 billion by 2017. The Company retains its non-IFRS operating margin goal of 35%. In order to capture the growth opportunities in the cloud, SAP now expects this target to be reached by 2017 rather than in 2015 as previously stated. SAP anticipates the fast-growing cloud business along with growth in support revenue will drive a higher proportion of more predictable, recurring revenue in the future.More »
Both. SAP remains dedicated to driving growth through organic development of its product and services portfolio, SAP spent almost €2.3 billion on research and development in 2013.

The European Company (Societas Europaea, SE) is a supranational legal form under European law for commercial enterprises within the territory of the European Union.More »
The proposed change of legal form from a stock corporation under German law to a European Company is to manifest SAP's self-image as an international player with European roots. Presenting itself as a European Company thus reflects the importance of the Company's European and international operations.More »
The legal form of the European Company also enables the Company to develop, together with representatives of the European workforce, a model for the involvement of employees which is tailored to the needs of the Company. It can thus be ensured that both the corporate governance structure of SAP and the work of its corporate organs are optimized. An important step in this development is the opportunity to be able to limit the size of the Supervisory Board to 18 members. Without the change of legal form to the SE, in contrast, a larger Supervisory Board comprising 20 members would be inevitable having regard to the development of the number of German employees, which would adversely affect the efficiency of the work of the Supervisory Board.
SAP's aim is a Supervisory Board size of 18 members. This was determined in an agreement between the central management of SAP AG and representatives of the European workforce on the involvement of the employees in SAP SE. Furthermore, it is provided in the Employee Involvement Agreement that the shareholders have the possibility to reduce the size of the Supervisory Board in the future (i.e. at the earliest in the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders in 2018, with effect from the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders in 2019) to 12 members.
Following the change of legal form to the SE, the Supervisory Board will of course still be required to be composed of an equal number of shareholders' and employees' representatives, i.e. half of its members will be employees' representatives. However, these representatives will in future not be exclusively – directly or indirectly – designated by the German employee representatives of the SAP Group and the German trade unions, but also – directly or indirectly – with the involvement of the employees and trade unions from other member states of the EU or signatory states to the agreement on the EEA. The legal form of a European Company thus presents an opportunity for the Company to reflect its international character even more strongly in the future also with regard to the employees' representatives on the Supervisory Board.
The conversion requires that the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders consents to this measure on the basis of the Conversion Plan established by the Executive Board, and approves the Articles of Incorporation of SAP SE. This requires a majority, which includes, in addition to the simple majority of votes, also at least three quarters of the capital stock represented at the time the resolution is adopted. Furthermore, the procedure for the involvement of employees in the SE was to be conducted, which in the case of SAP resulted in the conclusion of an involvement agreement between the central management and representatives of the employees from all over Europe. The conversion will become effective upon registration in the commercial register for the Company, i.e. the commercial register at the Local Court of Mannheim.More »
In connection with the conversion of an AG to an SE, a procedure for the involvement of the European employees in the future SE has to be conducted in order to secure the rights acquired by the employees of the AG as regards their involvement in company decisions. The aim of such a procedure is to conclude an agreement on employee involvement, which governs on the one hand the participation of the European employees in the Supervisory Board of the SE and on the other hand the procedure for informing and consulting the European employees, e.g. by setting up an SE Works Council. Thereby at least the same measure of employee rights existing at the AG that is changing its legal form must be ensured, which means in particular that the composition of the Supervisory Board of an equal number of shareholders' and employees' representatives will have to be maintained.
The procedure regarding the involvement of employees in the future SAP SE has already been completed. For a period of six months, negotiations were conducted between the central management and the representatives of the employees from the EU and EEA countries, which resulted in the conclusion of an involvement agreement on the participation of the European employees in the Supervisory Board of the SE and on the procedure for informing and consulting the European employees by setting up an SE Works Council.
We expect the costs to amount to approximately €4 million.More »
The conversion of SAP AG to an SE does not result in the winding-up of the company or in the creation of a new legal person. The legal and economic identity of the company is preserved by the change of legal form. For this reason, there is also no transfer of assets. The law applicable to the future SAP SE largely corresponds to the law applicable to a German stock corporation. As regards the annual financial statements, the management report, the group annual financial statements and the group management report, the same provisions apply to an SE as to an AG.More »
The shareholdings of the shareholders will remain unchanged following the conversion to an SE. The shareholders will retain the same number of shares that they held in SAP AG immediately prior to the effective date of conversion. The notional portion of capital stock represented by each no-par value share will also remain the same as immediately prior to the effective date of conversion. There are no differences between SAP AG and SAP SE as regards the dividend entitlement of the shareholders. As at SAP AG, the General Meeting of Shareholders decides on the appropriation of retained earnings at SAP SE.More »
We assume that the conversion of the company to an SE will not have any income tax effect nor trigger any obligation to pay German VAT or property transfer tax. Furthermore, SAP assumes that the conversion will not result in a taxable profit or a loss that is relevant for taxation purposes for the shareholders. SAP SE will be treated like a German corporation and will be subject to corporate income tax and trade tax in the same way as SAP AG previously was. Disposals of shares in SAP SE will generally be treated, at the level of the shareholders of SAP SE, in the same way as disposals of shares in SAP AG, unless applicable law or the factual circumstances change. The same applies to dividend distributions.More »
The conversion of SAP AG to SAP SE does not have any serious implications relating to the shares in the company and its listing. As the legal identity of the company is preserved by the change of legal form, the shareholders of SAP AG will become shareholders of SAP SE upon the conversion. Exchange trading in SAP shares will not be affected by the conversion, either. Only the quotation will have to be adjusted to "SE" due to the change of name.More »

Industrial and systems engineering majors at Oakland University are now using student internships at Crittenton Hospital Medical Center in Rochester to complete their senior design projects.
OU was the first college to partner with Crittenton when they started the internship program in the summer of 2006.
The program started when Crittenton Hospital contacted OU to see if it had industrial and systems engineers to help out with process improvement at the hospital.
Bob Van Til and Sankar Sengupta, industrial and systems engineering professors and working team members of the Oakland University Pawley Lean Institute, worked with Crittenton personnel to develop the internship program.
The Pawley Lean Institute is designed to benefit university students, local schools, businesses, non-profits and industry by sharing the concepts and practices of Lean learning via OU courses, student labs and projects, and training workshops.
"Our staff loves having interns in their department because they're there to help," said Gary Altman, program leader of process engineering at Crittenton Hospital.
Crittenton has a Process Engineering Steering Team that meets every month to look over proposed projects.
"They all have an impact on business metrics for the hospital," Altman said. The hospital has more work than help right now so not every project can be worked on.
All of the interns are industrial and systems engineering majors who are using this experience for their senior design projects.
Jon Polom, Michelle Dick and Adrea Toth are working on a project in the operating rooms while Pamela Najjar, Robert Tibedeau and Robert Boylan are conducting their project for the Radiology Department. Typically, all OU engineering majors work on a joint senior design project that focuses on design of a product rather than a system.
According to Tibedeau, it's important for industrial and systems engineering majors to do this type of senior design project, one that's related to their career choice.
Najjar agreed. "I think it's more effective for the ISEs to work together on a project like this."
The goals for the OR project are to keep traffic and infection rates down, improve patient safety and increase efficiency. According to Dick, the interns found from their research that if traffic is reduced, it does help the safety of the patient. To achieve their goals, the interns observed how many people come in and out of the OR.
"I like sitting in the OR," Dick said. "It's just different being in there."
Polom, the third intern hired into the program who has worked there for several semesters, said that the interns use the scientific method to implement their process improvements. According to Dick, the interns take all tools they learned in class and use them to perform the project, such as charts and data analysis.
"It's helping me a lot to see what areas people are trying to change and how to go about that," Dick said.
The Radiology Throughput Project aims to improve the Out-Patient Imaging Center. The goals of this project are to improve the start to finish process, minimize patient and staff wait time, increase efficiency and decrease workload.
The interns are focusing on walk-ins, x-rays, ultrasounds, mammograms and bone density tests. They took measurements of the work area in order to find a way to minimize steps and save time.
"The Crittenton Imaging Center is not at maximum capacity, and we're trying to get them there," Najjar said.
Najjar said that prior to the internship she didn't know the process of radiology and didn't realize what was holding up patients. Now she has received data and seen how it affects people firsthand.
"Mostly, I learned how to apply," Najjar said. "And that's exactly what I've been looking for."
The projects are big on leadership skills. Polom said he learned how to effectively manage projects.
"The only way you'll ever really get it down is by doing it," he said. Polom also said he learned that the most important thing is the ability to handle people, and industrial engineering is a very people-oriented field.
"As an industrial engineer, it's useful actually doing something that's related to your career," Polom said. "It's good to have that experience."
According to Tibedeau, he learned about data collection, process mapping, and the different ways people do the process and the way it should be done. "I think that actual real world experience is my favorite part," he said.
Najjar said she is taking away real life application skills from the experience. "You don't really get to experience that. It's once in my college career," she said.
Lean principles are an important part of the internships. At first, Altman finds out if the interns are trained in or know about Lean and Six Sigma, which is what Crittenton's Process Engineering Department is based on. If not, he has them read a book about it.
"We use quite a bit of Lean in the stuff here," Polom said. "In general, it just means cut down the waste. That's definitely what I do."
According to Altman, the interns start with value stream mapping. Tibedeau said they use Lean principles by cutting down on non-value added time.
"Industrial engineering has been doing Lean forever, cutting down on waste," Polom said. "Industrial engineers are all about efficiency."
Dick presented an example of using Lean if the supply location in the OR turns out to be the problem. "We can look at Lean principles to see where the best spot to put the supplies will be," she said.
The interns meet biweekly with the Crittenton staff and Altman on opposing weeks. They are able to do work on their own time, generally two or three times a week.
Altman, with the help of Van Til and Sengupta, supervises the interns, facilitates project teams, overviews projects and helps with data analysis. His job is to grow the internship program, which he said he's happy with.
The summer internship is for 40 hours a week, where students work on one project with a bigger scope and are paid. The winter and fall internships are for 20 hours a week. The senior design projects are unpaid, but the students are receiving course credit.
"I would definitely recommend it to other students, going out there and doing things that other industrial [and] systems engineers will do in the real world," Dick said. According to Najjar, everyone is very friendly and helpful.
"I enjoy it so far, and I think it will be very valuable to me later on," Tibedeau said. For more information, visit

Woke up today like most Pens fans, grabbing for water and tylenol to help rid the intense hangover I earned myself last night. I was at Game 7, the last professional hockey game ever in a building that has become a second home to me. The crowd was incredible, probably the best Mellon has seen aside from Mario's return from cancer.
Too bad the team didn't show up.
I was like most last week, tormenting Caps fans for their choke jobs. Ordering Ovechkins (whie Russian without a cup), and laughing at a team who allowed an 8 seed to walk onto their ice and win a Game 7. But it could never happen to my team. Not with a Conn Smythe winner and what many people regard as the best hockey player in the world. Not with a team that won two Game 7's of their own last season, including one for the Stanley Cup.
But choked they did. And last night just summed up the season quite well. Stupid penalties, the flower coughing up early, Gonchar looking old and tired, the defense turning over the puck, Sid trying too hard, and Malkin sleepwalking throughout the game. And let's be honest, you could have taken 87 and 71 off the ice and replaced them with Green and Semin by the way they played.
Choke job, the perfect definition.
While I want to give credit to the Lollypop Guild of Gionta and Cammerleri, and the amazing Roy-like postseason Halak is having, last night was about the Pens. I have never watched a more disappointing performance in Penguins hockey than what I saw last night. The moment overwhelmed this team, something I never thought I would say. And everyone needs to be called out for what happened.
Crosby. How did you limit yourself to only three points this series? Canada's golden child, the best all-around player in hockey, the guy with all the answers when the toughest questions are asked. Did Hal Gill really just shut you down?
And Geno. Even worse on your part. With no Markov on the ice and playing against a second pairing of a suspect blue line, the vanishing act you pulled off can only be compared to Neil O'Donnell as far as Pittsburgh goats are concerend. Watching you this series and the entire season has been a struggle. It's like you won the Conn Smythe and retired.
Fleury? While you had two very good games, you continue to befuddle me with early goals. MAF will be one of the best goalies of all time if he ever learns to make the routine save. His lateral movement is incredible, he comes up huge in the biggest of moments, but whether its a lack of focus or something else, it seems a soft goal will always occur.
Finally, the blueline. Scuds, we really missed you last night bud. There wasn't a true shut down pairing this season of any kind. I clearly underestimated what Hal Gill and Rob Scuderi did for this team last year, and its evident in this year's results. Gonchar, I probably watched someone roll around you for the last time as a Pittsburgh Penguin last night, and while I have always had your back against many haters, I feel like you put a dagger in mine last night. Same with Letang, down 2 early in the third he gets a WIDE open net within 10 feet of the goal and drives it wide. Oh, and Alex Goligoski... you are rapidly becoming Ryan Whitney. With that said, I'll give props to Orpik, Eaton, and Leopold, two of which are FA's this offseason.
So forgive me if this seems more like a complete rant. But this is the reality of the situation. This team settled for mediocre rather then the excellence we saw last year. As if the Cup was going to walk back into them. And with all the effort the fans gave last night, it was appalling to see none from the Penguins. It was an utter disaster from the opening puck drop, and Pittsburgh deserves much better than that.

Both Shorewood and Whitefish Bay are working on improving their business districts. In Shorewood's case the main purpose is to improve the tax base. We've accepted that that task is of primary public interest.
Among the secondary interests, the most difficult community problem is fast movement of cars through these districts.
Cup Is To Saucer As Test Is To Friday
Remember when you took your driver's test? You got the booklet for the written part, memorized the laws, had your friends quiz you and went into that test feeling very confident that you had done all you could do to pass it. You knew what was expected of you, how to answer and knew the onus was completely on you. The second part was a performance assessment, the actual driving test. This required prior tutelage of a family member, friend, or driver's ed. grand pubah who had many years of experience preparing students to pass this very driving test. You've been taught...for the test.
No amount of speculation will really tell us why all those who want to be re-elected are not being opposed by other candidates. Each of us could come up with our own ideas. Yet without these people in office we would not have any government.
Types of diminished elections have been occurring for some time, perhaps in other communities as well in Shorewood. If it is apathy, then we must ask, why the indifference, the lack of interest?
I don't believe that we can ascribe this feeling to the thousands of people who make up our community. Although a mix of things occurring at the same time could result in that feeling among a large group.
"Term limits make for sparse ballot," reads a headline in this morning's newspaper. No, this didn't refer to Shorewood. "1 Cedarburg seat drew no takers," except for the incumbent whose time is up because of term limits.
Shorewood doesn't have term limits. Our incumbents are eligible, but we don't have challengers. Its challengers that are lacking. We have ample number of incumbents.
Barbie For President
Apparently, the power of a woman's tear has been underestimated. How many times did you see the video of Hillary Clinton having what some pundits are calling "an emotional moment"? How many times did you hear the words "attack ad" or "ganging up on" during this past month? I wonder how all of this is perceived by our children. Girls hear skepticism about whether Clinton's tears were real, or just an award winning performance. Watch where, when, and how you cry girls; it will be psychoanalyzed. Sleep deprivation, exhaustion, emotional strain and the constant pressure of having to raise money doesn't count. You're not supposed to feel that. Or are you? When I saw that Hillary Clinton cried in public my first reaction was, "Oh no, Hillary. That will be the end of you." I've experienced being told I was too sensitive when I cried, being told "don't cry" when under strain or crying into pillows so other people wouldn't hear me. I thought it was a bad thing for us women.

Ways to save money in America's schools that are guaranteed to make just about everybody mad at me:
So...how much do YOU make?
Well, that was interesting. I just finished checking to see how much more or less money all my colleagues are making compared to me. This led me to make snap judgments about whether or not they deserved it and determine how much I should resent them if they made more. I thought about how early each arrived, how much they contributed to the district in labor or intellect, how dedicated I thought they were, and then it spiraled even lower from there (although that doesn't seem possible). I was much more likely to become a team player when I was ignorant of what others earned. Now I can't unsee the wages of those people who earn more than I for whatever reason. Oddly, I was happier with my pay before I saw this darn public revelation. While I think some are getting way more than they deserve, relatively, I don't necessarily whine for more. Being brought up in a middle class, with northern European roots I'm very satisfied with my salary, and live with the constant understanding that I don't deserve it and I'm just lucky to be working at all.
Stupid Parent Tricks
Stupid Parent Tricks is a segment that David Letterman will never have on his show. The Stupid Pets Trick segment probably keeps his staff more than busy enough --- they couldn't possibly handle the volume that they would surely be inundated with, if they resorted to the low hanging fruit of Stupid Parents.
Of what seems to be endless controversy in the media, and the topic of discussion around the water coolers and latte machines is how our kids now are supposedly doing much worse in school than their predecessors - how they are becoming obese couch potatoes - how they are oversexed and violent - how they dis-respect their teachers and other authority figures -- on and on, ad nauseum ..........

Things to remember when watching the Packer playoff game with kids around:
Shorewood clears snow for St Roberts but not for local businesses
This past December was a good reminder that we really do live in an area that gets snow ! Yes, here in Wisconsin, Mother Nature has been known to make life miserable by dropping a whole lot of wet sloppy snow, and then freezing it all into frozen slush.
On December 20th I wrote a posting to this blog noting that the merchants on Capitol Drive were still hampered by the mounds of snow and ice piled up at the curb. Shorewood had cleared the mounds along North Oakland Avenue, but hadn't gotten to Capitol Drive. In previous postings, I had noted that crosswalks in the business district remained treacherous and needed clearing.

When people are part of a losing team they get reflective and philosophical. What else can we do when Eli Manning turns out to be the winning quarterback? Although our first impulse may be to retire Brett or get some lavender oil for Al Harris, the fact is we lost. We lost and our children are watching.
Trustees Johnson (pres), Eckman, Hanewall, Hickey, and Phinney Do Not respond to questions on Snow Problems, while Trustees Anderson and Maher do Communicate
After all the problems Shorewood has had with piles of snow and ice througout the Business District, the delay in clearing Crosswalks, and the Free Show Removal for St Roberts, I sent the following questions to all the Trustees:
Do you think that St Roberts should be charged for that service. Do you think that service should be expanded to other private lots.
important to make sure the district is walkable. I am an avid walker and
believe me, I had some real issues last month not only in the district but
in residential areas as well. It was a horrible month that caught alot
of communities off guard - WFB was just as bad in their business
district although I noticed alot of business owners had cleared their own
curbs, and of course we know the trouble Milwaukee had on the east side.
Part of the problem (I believe, but will find out more) could be the new
overnight parking allowed on North Oakland. This does make it more
difficult for the DPW to do a thorough job - but it's a new program and I'm
sure there will be kinks to iron out. Regardless, crosswalks really
do need to be a priority. I agree.
I have to admit that I meant to talk to the DPW about the St Roberts
issue when it first popped up on the blog and it fell off my radar. I
will definately talk to them to find out what precipitated it. I was very
suprised by it honestly and I am concerned that a precident was being
set which I don't believe SHOULD be set. But since I don't know the
details, I won't comment beyond that for now.
Thanks again and have a good weekend, dawn
I share your concerns about maintaining the walkability of our entire
community in winter. For Shorewood to achieve this goal, it requires
the combined efforts of residents, businesses and the Village. The vast
majority of Shorewood residents and businesses do an amazing job at
keeping their sidewalks cleared plus helping neighbors when needed. The
Village DPW works hard to keep up with clearing the streets, sidewalks at
the corners, parks, public buildings and business district but because
of budget and staffing constraints they can only do so much so
quickly. I will frequently see a DPW staff person plowing the streets into
the evening then see the same person picking up garbage carts out of snow
drift at 8:00 a.m. the next morning.
This past December, Shorewood received a large amount of snow and some
of it froze like concrete which made removal very challenging for
everyone. I continue to strongly push to have the Village clear the large
mounds of snow that build up at the crosswalks at the street
intersections. I have asked the Village Manager to update the Village Board on
how the snow removal operations are going so far this season and explore
possible ways for the Village to clear the sidewalks at the corners in
the residential areas and the business district more quickly. As with
any municipal service, there is always a balancing of striving to
provide the highest level of service within the budget constraints the
community faces. I know there is also interest from the Village's
Pedestrian Safety Committee to review the Village's snow removal efforts and
see if there are ways to improve our efforts.
I have asked the Village manager to provide me information on the
possible clearing of an area at St. Roberts. I was not aware the Village was
clearing any area at St. Roberts. The Village does clear a few private
parking lots where the Village has an arrangement with the lot owner
to allow Shorewood to sell overnight parking permits for the lot. St.
Roberts is not one of these overnight parking sites. So until the
Village staff gets back to me with the background information, I would be
just guessing on the reason for the plowing. There maybe Village traffic
safety concerns with the grade school children walking to the school.
Thanks for your e-mail. I will continue to push to do as much as
possible to keep our community as walkable as possible.
Mike Maher
and he filled me in on St Roberts - they asked for help removing the
PILES of snow - we did not really plow their lot although given the date
(right before Christmas) our guys probably felt they'd do a little extra
clean up for them. The piles were causing a safety hazard not only
because kids were climbing on them, but the freeze/thaw cycle was causing
runoff onto the sidewalks - creating an ice hazard.
My understanding is that Jim will be sending you a note, if he hasn't
already, explaining the situation in more detail. Along with Trustee
Maher, I would urge patience. They do the best the can with the available
Thanks, dawn
Illegal Use of Idiom. 10 yards.
Okay, so here's what we do. You know how nuts people go over football, right? Well I think with enough good old smoke and mirror television, we could actually convince people that the campaign is just an extension of the race to what we can bill as Superbowl B. Pundits are always bemoaning the fact that young people get all razzed up when they're at rallys but sleep in on the day of the election. We can keep not only college kids interested, but sports fans invested as well. Think of all the stuff people know about individual players and teams. If they could know even half of that about the presidential candidates, people might actually vote on more than who they'd want to tailgate with.

Dear Washington,
Admit it. You've all seen this.
Did you ever notice that little kids can go for hours with snot hanging from their noses and not even notice it? They get so focused on activity they don't even stop long enough to bend an arm, put nose to the fold and carry out a fairly hygienic sleeve sneeze when one is called for. No, they just look forward, release their wet, nasty germs like face geysers and proceed to touch all the books, pencils, toys, doorknobs, teachers and friends they can get their hands on.
Why haven't Trustees Johnson (pres), Eckman, Hanewall, Hickey, and Phinney responded to Snow Problems in Village ?
Why haven't Trustees Johnson (pres), Eckman, Hanewall, Hickey, and Phinney responded to Snow Problems in Village ?
Perhaps it is because of what they know that the most of us in the Village don't.
Let's Review
So kids, what have we learned so far about how to become the president? Hillary says she has learned that if you want something done right, do it yourself. Always wear black pants and no one will notice after awhile and be yourself, unless of course that's not working. She adds that even though she knows every issue inside and out, the smartest kid in the class doesn't always get to go to prom. What's that? She says she's figured out that you can't step into the same river twice. The Changemobile has no reverse.
Wanna see something funny? Try reenacting a state of the union address with 6 and 7 year olds. One person gets to be president and the rest are split into the democrats, the republicans, members of the supreme court and then the kids who don' t ever want to do anything get to be the press and sit cross legged on the floor with construction paper press passes. We make an aisle and the kid who is always shushed for talking too loudly gets to yell, "Ladies and Gentlemen, the President of the United States." One side of the aisle bursts into loud, low politician's "HOOAs" while the other stands and claps politely. Members of both sides stretch to the aisle to shake the hand of someone most either can't stand or someone they think has screwed up the party for the next generation. Everyone smiles, glad hands and back slaps until the only kid who can be responsible with a hammer slams it down a few times on top of the dictionary. The crowd quiets. Hammer girl introduces the president again, in case people came in late, and the place erupts again. It's hard to teach kids how to look like they just came from a couple Manhattans, but we just tell them to act a tiny bit silly. The quiet kid Supreme Court just sits down and shuts up.

It was a sight for sore eyes.
Paving crews spent Tuesday laying fresh asphalt to a one-block stretch of south 3rd street that for more than a year has resembled a mine field.
"I think it has really impacted us a great deal," said Susan McKee, owner of Old City Flowers. "I mean, the people need to come in and walk around and be safe on a street and not feel like they're going to fall."
Back in October, 2011, a sewer main dating back to the 1850s broke, triggering repair- and replacement work that tore up the street from Market to Chestnut for 14 months.
What started as a Water department project ultimately included several other utilities, making a mess of a block where businesses were already struggling to survive.
"The woman across the street- she left. The guy down the street- he left," said McKee, describing for FOX 29s Bruce Gordon the business owners who called it quits during the disruption.
"To stay, you have to have some staying power."
Like others who have stuck it out, McKee is optimistic about the future.
"The possibilities and the curb appeal and the street lights that are going to go in, hopefully will pay off. But we have lost a significant part of our business."
Traffic was flowing by late Tuesday afternoon. There will likely be brief interruptions on Wednesday, for striping work at either end of the block.
But for all intents and purposes, this never ending project is finally complete.

I had been planning to do a big world trip long before I had been to Australia in 2004. I had enough money to go away for 12 months but also could still qualify for an Australian or New Zealand working holiday visa if I applied before my 31st birthday. I choose New Zealand because it was a cooler climate which would be a lot better if I ended up working outside. Then there was the question of what countries to visit and planning a route. I found a website that lists all the cheap airlines which helped loads. The only definite things on my journey was that I would be spending Christmas and New year in Asia to keep the costs down and I would be arriving in New Zealand in February 2009 at the latest to catch the start of the fruit picking season. During 2008 Oasis airlines who were doing 200 pound flights to Hong Kong and Zoom airlines who were doing similar priced flights to Vancouver went bust. As the Americas were low down on my list of must see places I decided against going literally round the world but would be going as far as the South Pacific islands turning round then coming back through Asia. As I enjoyed my job on the dustbins I kept putting it off leaving all summer but finally set my leaving date for the end of October 2008. This gave me 2-3 months in Asia to start with, seeing the parts of Thailand I missed last time such as the north along with Laos was part of the plan. But the one place that stood out when doing my research was Sumatra, having been to Borneo it seemed a logical next step. Plus I felt that I was ready to take on a more challenging off the beaten track destination. Then there was Australia and New Zealand, the priority for New Zealand was finding employment and the priority for Australia this time was visiting friends and relatives in Perth, Adelaide, Hobart and Sydney. I would try to restrict my drinking and partying to the cheaper countries of Asia. I wanted to visit at least one south pacific island, basically they all looked good so it was a matter of finding the cheapest island and flight to get there. Samoa was top of the list for this reason and like Sumatra it was a more off the beaten track destination as everyone else seemed to go to Fiji. Finally I would come back through Asia making it up as I went along.
