The Pleasures and Pitfalls of Frank Lloyd Wright Homes
There are 20 Frank Lloyd Wright homes now on the market, and some are available at a markdown. But owning an architectural treasure can come with significant headaches.
Sharon and Lawrence Tarantino love the Frank Lloyd Wright house they bought in Millstone, N.J., for $400,000 in 1988. They just wish the residence they call "a work of art" weren't so prone to flooding.
The three-bedroom home, whose two-story windows overlook a terrace stretching out of the living room, has been inundated by a nearby river seven times since the Tarantinos purchased it. Rather than wait for flood No. 8, they're reluctantly selling.
But they have laid down unusual conditions for the buyer: Dismantle, move and reconstruct the 2,000-square-foot house on a suitable natural site—at an all-in price that could reach between $2.5 million and $3 million, depending on the location. The figure includes original Wright furniture and advice from Ms. Tarantino, a designer, and her architect husband.
For those willing to accept the challenge of owning a dwelling designed by America's most-famous architect, there are about 20 Wright homes currently up for sale in eight states. That's the largest number in recent years. Those on the market now range from a six-bedroom Illinois home listed at $649,000 to a sprawling Montana ranch with a price tag of $5.6 million. "It is a good time to buy a Wright house because there is a variety of prices and locations,'' said Janet Halstead, executive director of the Frank Lloyd Wright Building Conservancy, a preservation group.
Chicago architect John Eifler, who has restored two dozen Wright homes, including the 1915 Ross House he has occupied since February 2011, said these homes can be good investments.
"Wright houses typically sell at a premium compared to those with similar sizes and locations,'' Mr. Eifler said. "But flawed alterations may devalue them." He made a number of renovations at his suburban Glencoe, Ill., home—adding, for instance, a living-room bench that Mr. Wright had sketched in drafts of the house but never installed.
Around 270 of the structures that Mr. Wright designed for middle-class and wealthy families remain occupied as residences and typically are named after their original owners. Sales of Wright houses began to recover last year when eight changed hands—up from two in 2007, six in 2008 and two in 2009, according to the Wright conservancy.
Wright homes, primarily built between the 1890s and 1950s, feature distinctive design elements. The architect removed unnecessary interior walls while emphasizing free-flowing spaces, harmony with nature and walls of art glass that he called "light screens."
Buyers tempted by the idea of owning a piece of architectural history should remember that it's rarely as straightforward as winning a bidding war. Many of the homes by Mr. Wright pose challenges. The architect favored small kitchens and closets—at odds with current tastes—and usually omitted basements. And some of these homes need the maintenance and repairs required for any home built decades or even a century ago.
It's often tricky to renovate an architectural treasure while preserving Wright's innovations, such as radiant-floor heating, carports, built-in furniture and soaring clerestory windows. Meanwhile, permanent easements held by the Wright conservancy on 16 private Wright residences limit exterior alterations.
Even well-restored Wright homes don't always sell fast enough for their owners, which sometimes sparks sizable price cuts.
The Buehler House in Orinda, Calif., went on the market for $4.995 million in September 2011 following a roughly $750,000 renovation. The 4,000-square-foot property features several 18-karat-gold-leaf ceilings, a guesthouse and 2.3 acres of grounds landscaped by Henry Matsutani, designer of the Japanese Tea Gardens in Golden Gate Park. For the dining room, Mr. Wright devised a china-dish pattern and low-back chairs so as not to obstruct views of the gardens. Though the dinnerware is negotiable, the Wright furniture is included with the sale.
Signature Style
The home came up for sale after the owners died. The trustee slashed the price to $3.9 million a year ago and lowered it again, to $3.35 million, in October.
"We still haven't hit the right price, even with the market heating up,'' said Gretchen Scheid, an Alain Pinel Realtors agent who is handling the sale. A Wright residence "has to be thought of as a long-term investment.''
It's a similar story for the 4,230-square-foot Millard House, erected for $17,000 in 1923. The Pasadena, Calif., home, which Mr. Wright fondly called "La Miniatura,'' is priced at $4.495 million—down from $7.7 million in 2008.
The house features walls of concrete blocks, many with a cross pattern that lets light through. Owner David Zander, a producer of television commercials, said he poured nearly $3 million into renovations before putting Millard up for sale. "I thought it would go right away,'' he said. "Aesthetically, it's stunning.''
But the house is prone to leakage during heavy rainfall, partly due to the experimental construction, said Crosby Doe, its real-estate agent. There now is "a very interested buyer" though no contract has been offered yet, the agent added this week. Mr. Doe also cautioned that buyers of unique architectural residences like Millard need to be ready to compromise "in terms of today's modern living.''
Some buyers of Wright homes didn't learn that lesson until their deals closed. Accountant Janet Copeland and her husband, Peter, a retired corporate attorney, bought the 1949 Eric Brown House in Kalamazoo, Mich., for $500,000 in June. The 2,900-square-foot residence has five bedrooms, large windows facing a lake and enough mahogany to fill a railcar, Mr. Copeland said.
However, the bedroom doorways in the single-story structure are cut just 22 inches wide. So movers brought in the Copelands' sectional sofa, armchair and library table through an oversize window. The galley-style kitchen is so tiny that the refrigerator door bangs into the dishwasher, Ms. Copeland said. She came to realize the quirks are inevitable. "They are part of what makes a Frank Lloyd Wright house,'' she said.
Many owners of Wright homes believe the pleasures of dwelling in a legendary architect's creation far outweigh any drawbacks. In designing a residence without attic, basement or garage for Cincinnati car dealer Gerald Tonkens in 1953, Mr. Wright explained, "I don't believe in wasted space,'' according to Mr. Tonkens's widow, Beverly Tonkens-Vangrov. She says she greatly enjoyed her 43 years in the Tonkens House, crafted so it "brings nature in.''
The home has 397 windows and a red tile inscribed with Mr. Wright's initials cemented above the front doorbell. In February, she listed the 3,123-square-foot property for $1.788 million. "The house is magical," Mrs. Tonkens-Vangrov said. "I will be very sad leaving this home.''
Costly restorations of Wright homes can last years. Fixing up the Sweeton House in Cherry Hill, N.J., will be a 20-year project, said owner Dan Nichols, an architect. He and his wife, Christine Denario, a mental-health professional, paid $350,000 for the 1,180-square-foot home in 2008. They already have shelled out about $55,000 to repair the leaky roof, replace outworn cabinets and make related kitchen improvements. He estimates additional renovations easily could cost another $160,000.
"We're doing this pay as you go,'' Mr. Nichols said. "We are not wealthy.''
The Tarantinos devoted 13 years to restoring the Bachman Wilson House, an effort that cost more than their purchase price. In late 1953, Mr. Wright agreed to design the home at the age of 86 for chemist Abraham Wilson and his wife, Gloria Bachman. He wrote them at the time, saying, "I suppose I am still here to try to do houses for such as you."
Among other things, the Tarantinos stripped paint from faded black concrete floors and tracked down their original red pigment—also the shade of the terrace floor.
Damage from floods, which twice filled the first floor with more than 6 feet of water, forced more repairs. Recovery went well "because of the excellent condition of the house,'' Ms. Tarantino said.
They regret selling a home where they spent much of their lives—and much of their life savings. But they can't risk more damage.
"We need to move the house,'' Ms. Tarantino said. But she's hopeful—because there are "numerous interested buyers."

I am currently working on my online mode for my Bomberman Clone. I´ve implemented a UDP Layer so far that has some reliability functionality, such as package acknowledgements. I am now implementing the client-side prediction and got a few questions to that.
In all tutorials I´ve read so far, the only things that lets client-side prediction fail are unpredictable events, usually when another player interacts with your player. But what about packet loss? When I move to the right, I can predict the new position pretty easily, but when the command never reaches the server, the new position will be false. Maybe that wouldn´t be such a huge problem, but I´ve got real issues when thinking about planting bombs:
Planting bombs could normally be predicted, since the client knows the rules for planting bombs. You can´t plant bombs when you already planted all of your bombs on the field, or when there is already a bomb at that location. The letter can be a result of the influence of another player, i.e. when someone planted a bomb a tad before you did. This situation would result in the same visual output though, since a bomb is still at the predicted position.
When packets get lost around the bomb planting command, then the prediction would also fail. Maybe the position of the player needed to be corrected, so when he dropped the bomb he actually was at a different location. Another possibility could be that the bomb planted command never reaches the server. I could resend the command, but that would also result in a different bomb location.
Correcting this mistakes could lead to teleporting bombs, which in return could cause trapping yourself. That would be a horrible scenario, since you literally get killed by packet loss. Not predicting bombs on the other hand always results in a bit of unresponsiveness, which is also frustrating. What can I do? Help

A port-ganache topping and port-soaked dried cherries transform the classic fudgy brownie into an elegant, grown-up dessert.
The natural cocoa powder in these brownies contributes to their tart and lively flavor and super soft interior.
Box brownies have nothing on these chewy, chocolaty, brownies. A little added flour makes them the best chewy brownies you can make.

Dramatic Techniques in "Sonnet 29"
It seems that a sonnet, by itself, is a paltry thing, hardly worth the attention of serious critics. Those who have read the current criticism on Shakespeare know that little is written about any one poem alone, that the group of them are often addressed together. There are good reasons for this. Shakespeare appears to have written them all in a close period of time (unlike the lifetime output of a more active poet), so that they can be studied as a group. Also, they are much more personal than sonnets of the sixteenth century, offering critics a clearer view of how writers thought of life's relation to poetry at that time. Finally, they are the work of the greatest playwright who ever lived, and so critics use the sonnets as a tool to dig for information on the dramatist more often than they appreciate the sonnets for themselves.
Rather than face the difficulty in addressing oneself to a single sonnet by Shakespeare, many literary critics open up their field of inquiry to that broader unit we know as "the sonnet sequence"—looking for patterns. In the case of the Shakespearean sonnets, we know only that there is a finite quantity, 154. After that, the best form that they make when put together is open to debate. Some are addressed to a younger friend or patron; some to the Dark Lady who is referred to as the mistress of the poems' speaker; some focus their attention on a rival poet. The identities of these people, their actual relationships to Shakespeare, and just what these relationships tell us about poetic inspiration are debated endlessly.
Looking at "Sonnet 29," which begins "When, in disgrace with Fortune and men's eyes," a reader's first response might be, "What was Shakespeare feeling so depressed about?" The question assumes, though, that he actually was feeling depressed and humiliated at the time of writing, even though that is specifically contrary to what the poem says. The first word, "when" is the qualifier, telling us that the emotions discussed in the following sixteen lines were not necessarily happening at the time of writing, but that they are emotions that came up every now and again. What Shakespeare is telling us is that he does know these feelings. The only thing we know regarding when he feels like this is that he experienced this hopelessness at some time during his relationship with the "thee" who is first mentioned in line 10. Historians place this sonnet within the series addressed to Shakespeare's younger friend and patron, and that understanding could open the door to a good deal of intellectual labor about social relations in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. But this sonnet seems to stand quite well without any knowledge of who Shakespeare meant by "thee." "Thee" could be one's girlfriend or boyfriend, spouse, or trusted confidant. For now, one can leave aside the question of what incidents Shakespeare was talking about and appreciate the poem on its own terms.
The players in Shakespeare's small drama of "Sonnet 29" are long gone, but we still have the drama itself. A judgment that is pretty universally accepted is that Shakespeare was a better playwright than a poet. Saying it this way makes it sound as if there was something wrong with his poetry, but the actual sum and substance is that he was such an astounding dramatist that there would be little he, or anyone, could do that would meet the level of skill in his plays. It seems plausible to suggest that it is Shakespeare's dramatic talent, not necessarily his poetic talent, that must shine through from the center of everything he did. "Sonnet 29," at first look, does not seem to be any more dramatic than it is autobiographical, but even in the tightly controlled sonnet form, Shakespeare's dramatic talent shows itself clearly.
One of the most important elements in creating the "soul" of a drama is dramatic tension. The most telling way to show that this poem is a drama at heart is to examine the tension of its central question. In recent times, the word "tension" is most often...

Overview of "Sonnet 29"
In the narrative of Shakespeare's sonnets, "Sonnet 29" falls among the phase (sonnets 1-129) where the voice of the older poet, the voice of experience and good counsel, fights off challenges for a young man's affections from another poet and from a dark lady. In this schema, "Sonnet 29" falls at a low, melancholy point in the apparent narrative. It is a complaint, in the true Renaissance style, where the persona dwells on a sense of loss—in this context, the possible loss of favor in the eyes of the young man. The poem begins with the famous line, "When in disgrace with Fortune and men's eyes," as if the voice is reconnoitering his situation and finding that his stock is at an all-time low. What seems to pervade "Sonnet 29" is, however, a comic structure, a fall from and a return to favor and hope, and a sense of how one recovers from a type of "fall" from grace.
The word "Fortune," capitalized in the first line of the poem is set in the line as a personification. This "Fortune" is the classical "fortuna"—the idea of a force in the universe that controls the destiny of an individual. In classical literature, particularly Boethius's A Consolation of Philosophy, 'Fortune' is the antagonist who acts against reason and 'Philosophy.' Fortune, in the Sophoclean sense, is the predetermined pattern of an individual's life that cannot be avoided—it is the destiny of an individual, the narrative of a life, that must inevitably come to pass. In the Renaissance sense of the word as explained by Niccolo Machiavelli, fortune is the raw material of ability and circumstance that life presents to an individual. Machiavelli suggests, in his treatise on the nature of political leadership, The Prince, that an individual can overcome the negative powers of fortune or destiny by exercising what he calls "virtu" or the power of intelligence over circumstance. Shakespeare's "Sonnet 29" is a poem about how one reasons one's way around circumstance. The poem is not only a matter of counting one's blessings but of finding them. Like Boethius in the opening of A Consolation of Philosophy, the persona of "Sonnet 29" is woeful and announces that when he is "in disgrace" "I all alone beweep my outcast state." His plaintive cries fall on "deaf Heaven." God, as the poem suggests, does not tolerate complaints. The persona's cries are "bootless," or useless. The word "bootless," however, also suggests that the persona is thinking out loud without really having a firm foundation for his musings—a no-no in the world of Renaissance thought, where the Virgilian precept of approaching life with strong, emotionally detached, and objective reasoning was still the order of the day. Like Boethius in A Consolation of Philosophy, the persona of this poem must find his way to solace through the power of thought and through the banishment of emotions where he might feel sorry for himself. In the Renaissance perspective, feeling sorry for oneself and reason are incompatible. Suffice to say, cursing one's "fate" and "Wishing me like to one more rich in hope" or envying "this man's...

The Fusion of Content and Form in "Sonnet 29"
One of the most popular of the fixed poetic forms in English literature is the sonnet. Attributed to the Italian poet Petrarch in the fourteenth century, the sonnet is still used by many contemporary writers. The appeal of the sonnet lies in its two-part structure, which easily lends itself to the dynamics of much human emotional experience and to the intellectual mode of human sensibility for argument based on complication and resolution.
In the last decade of the sixteenth century, sonnet writing became highly fashionable following the publication of Sir Philip Sydney's sonnet sequence Astrophel and Stella, published in 1591. Sonnet sequences were widely read and admired at this time, circulated about the...

If you grew up in the '80s, this guy was a staple of tv news, he was funny and goofy and a little off, all while endlessly fighting for what he believed was best for the people of his city. He woke up yesterday with chest pains, turned out to be congestive heart failure which means fluid buildup in the pleural cavity around the lungs strangled the heart's ability to pump.

4.6: Instructor Supplemental Resources
ASEE Draft Engineering Standards. This chapter is focused on "Dimension 1: Engineering Design" of the ASEE Corporate Members Council Draft Engineering Standards; these draft standards will serve as input to the National Academy of Engineering process of considering engineering standards for K-12 education. This dimension includes the following outcomes:
- Students will develop an understanding of engineering design.
- Students will apply the engineering design process, troubleshooting, research and development, invention and innovation, and experimentation in problem solving and engineering design.
Common Preconceptions
The following are preconceptions and tendencies that novice designers may exhibit:
- The novice designer tends to believe that design is primarily developing creative or novel ideas (e.g., brainstorming), and does not understand the role or importance of iteration, evaluation, and planning.
- Novice designers show an inability to evaluate and recognize quality ideas and to discriminate between effective and ineffective design processes.
- Novice designers often have difficulty clearly defining the problem in the context of the user's environment and constraints.
- Novice designers often focus on a single idea without considering alternatives (often the first idea that comes to mind).
- Novice designers are often unaware of the difference between an abstract concept and a detailed design, and do not use appropriate tools and processes to go from the abstract concept to the detailed design.
- Novice designers often see design as a strictly serial process and do not recognize the need for iteration, revisiting past decisions, and evaluating alternatives.
- Novice design teams often exhibit poor team decision making.
The idea that a design is a decorative pattern may be a preconception. Students may not understand that another meaning of design is a representation of the appearance and function of an object before it is made.
Students may also have preconceptions about models. The most important are that models are always physical and that models have a one to one correspondence with reality. Students do not understand that models often leave out important aspects found in the real object or system.

Project—Design a Solar Cooker
Goal: students will engage in the engineering design process. To the extent possible, the emphasis in the activity should be on the process, and not on the designed artifact; students tend to focus on the object being designed and not see that the quality of the process determines the quality of the design. Novice designers should demonstrate awareness of their design process and see where they have or have not used elements of the design process. Experienced designers should follow a design process and be able to identify the strengths and weaknesses of their process.
This project activity is structured using the 5E Learning Cycle.
Students will recognize that design is a process and understand that the quality of the process affects the quality of the resulting design. Students will be able to apply each step of the engineering design process to design a solar cooker.
The activity requires materials to build a simple solar cooker. Since the emphasis of the activity is on the design project, it would be helpful if there is a wide range of available materials. Possible materials could include
- Cardboard boxes (shoe box or larger size).
- Cardboard.
- White and black paint.
- Transparent materials such as plastic wrap, clear hard plastic, and glass.
- Reflective materials such as aluminum foil or unbreakable mirrors.
- Packing tape or duct tape.
- Stiff wires or skewers.
The following tools will be needed:
- Scissors
- A thermometer capable of measuring up to 250 degrees Fahrenheit.
The teacher engages the students in a discussion of how much of their environment has been designed by humans. For example, if the class is in a building, it is a building that people designed, engineered, and constructed. The teacher points out that almost every aspect of modern life depends on and is affected by technological artifacts such as bridges, buildings, vehicles, cell phones, computers, and so on. These technological artifacts are designed and created by engineers using the engineering design process.
Students complete the first two columns of the KWL chart (What I know, What I Want to Know) in Table 2, indicating what they know about the design process and what they want to learn.
|What I Know
|What I Want to Know
|What I Learned
The teacher then explains that the engineering design process is used to solve problems, and shows examples of deforestation caused by people collecting wood to be used in cooking fires. For example, Figure 18 shows a man carrying firewood in Mozambique. (Haiti is another source that provides a dramatic example of the problem.) The teacher engages the students in a discussion about alternative methods of cooking food in developing nations. Solar energy is one potential alternate energy source; Figures 19 and 20 show two devices that use solar energy to cook food.
A man carrying firewood in Mozambique. Firewood is the primary source of energy for cooking food; collection of firewood in many developing countries has led to severe deforestation.
A simple solar oven made out of a cardboard box, foil, and clear plastic.
A solar cooker and a solar water heater in India. The solar water heater is on the roof of the building. The solar cooker is the silver dish in front of the building.
Students are given the problem of designing a method of cooking food using solar energy as a feasible alternative to collecting fire wood. Working in teams, they use the Internet and other sources to collect information to understand the design characteristics necessary for a solar cooker to be useful in a developing country. They organize and report this material to the class.
Then students work in teams to develop a design concept and document the concept with a detailed drawing. The idea here is that students will employ an ad hoc process that becomes the basis for discussion as they go through the Explain process.
The design process is explained to the students using the material in this chapter; the students are exposed to the steps of the design process. They compare and contrast the process they used in the explore activity with the design process covered by the teacher. They also complete the right column of their KWL chart.
Student teams go through a scaffolded design process to create and evaluate a prototype of a solar cooker. This process need not include all of the steps described in the Introduction to Engineering Design chapter, particularly for novice designers. As students work through each step in the design process, some scaffolding should be provided; for example, each team may report its work on each step to the class and receive formative feedback on their work before moving on to the next step. In addition, the way in which each step is performed may be tailored to the developmental levels of the students. Novice designers may be asked to concentrate on the outcome that should be produced, while more advanced designers may be asked to employ some or all of the tools identified it the Introduction to Engineering Design chapter.
The following gives information on some of the design process steps that could be required of the students.
Identify Criteria and Constraints
Students develop criteria and constraints for the problem of designing a solar cooker. Examples of possible constraints include
- Cooker can be constructed from readily available materials.
- Cooker can be constructed using simple hand tools.
Examples of possible criteria include
- Maximum temperature reached inside the cooker when it is placed in direct sunlight.
- Volume of food that can be placed in the cooker.
- Time required to cook a typical meal.
A possible variation on this section of the activity would be to have student teams independently develop criteria and constraints, and then through class discussion create a single set of criteria and constraints for the whole class. This would allow different teams to evaluate their prototypes using a class-wide standard.
Generate Ideas
Students generate ideas for the design of their solar cooker. For novice designers, it may be sufficient to use an ad hoc process to come up with two different concepts. For more advanced students, the process and tools described in this chapter may be appropriate.
Examples of possible design concepts include
- A cardboard box with a clear plastic wrap top.
- A cardboard box with a clear plastic wrap top plus foil covered cardboard reflector is to direct more sunlight into the box.
- A cardboard box painted black inside with a clear hard plastic top.
Select a Design
Students use their constraints and criteria to select a design concept to use in creating their prototype. Advanced students should use the tools and process described in this chapter.
Build a Prototype
Students create a prototype of their selected design concept.
Test the Prototype
Students test their prototype to verify that it meets the constraints and perform the experiments necessary to determine how their design performs relative to the criteria.
Student teams present their designs and their processes to the class. Each student team's processes are evaluated according to the rubric in Table 3 by the teacher and by the other students in the class. This evaluation is the basis of formative feedback to each team.
To implement the learning cycle, students could use this feedback to revise their designs and build a second prototype. This would emphasize the iterative nature of the design process.

Solar Cooker Design Project Evaluation
The following exercise provides an assessment of students' learning of the design process.
Theresa and Jack are designing a purification system for water that can be used in parts of the world where there is frequent flooding. They have a deadline and must work quickly because many parts of the developing world are suffering from severe flooding and people are getting sick drinking contaminated water. Jack feels that their first design is good and wants to build and ship the prototype to people in need. He does not want to waste time when lives are at stake. Theresa wants to look at several designs and then build and test a prototype. She thinks that they might even have to refine their prototype before it is ready for people to use. Jack argues that this process will take too much time. Use your knowledge of the design process to craft an argument that supports either Theresa or Jack.

Do all waterfront property owners need flood insurance?
POST FALLS, Idaho - As we head into spring, the rain and snow melt has many people keeping an eye on the rivers and lakes. Waterfront property owners are well aware of it, but not everyone who lives along the river is in danger of flooding.
Some homeowners along the Spokane River say they've been getting demands to buy flood insurance much to their surprise.
In 2010, an adjusted FEMA flood zone map was adopted. There was no new study done but more accurate technology was used. Areas like Kootenai County also saw changes in the land because of development.
Last year homeowner Carol Parr who lives near Post Falls got a letter from her bank saying she had to get flood insurance.
"So being here ten years and then getting this letter was quite surprising to say the least," Parr said. The insurance would cost Parr around $1,500 a year.
"It was very surprising. When we bought the house nobody said anything about it."
Parr and many other families started hiring surveyors to look at their property to see if it's higher than the floodplain.
One surveyor, Matt Wilson, said Tuesday, "I've done projects like this that FEMA said you are in the floodplain but they are 50 feet higher than the elevation."
In the house he surveyed Tuesday morning, Wilson said it was above the flood zone. They can issue a statement that the homeowner is above the flood plain that will help them opt out of paying flood insurance.
It's what the Parrs did as well, helping them wade out of a situation they call a nightmare.
Of course surveying your house doesn't come free either; depending on your property you can expect to pay $500 or more.

Teresa A. Pellino
Madison - Teresa A. Pellino escaped from the grip of Pancreatic Cancer on Monday, February 18, 2013 while visiting her dear friends Deb Gordon and Myra Enloe in Seattle.
Terri was born in Harrisburg, Penn. on June 28, 1956, the youngest of four children. The family moved to Camarillo, Calif. in1967. She was given the opportunity to leave high school after her junior year, and was enrolled in the Honors Program at the University of Miami. She graduated Summa Cum Laude with her BSN in 1977. She met Tom while at Miami; their first date was Valentine's Day, 1977. They married on March 18, 1979, when he received his official title of "The Luckiest Man in the World".
Their educational route took them from Chicago to Palo Alto and finally Madison. In Madison, Terri and Tom had their two children, Potowatami and Monona Jo, later renamed Mike and Katie.
Her Nursing career began as many do, as a nurse's aide in nursing homes. After her BSN, she worked as a clinical nurse at Westlake Hospital in Thousand Oaks, and at Rush Presbyterian in Chicago. She received her MSN while working at Rush. Terri and Tom moved to Palo Alto, where she was a head nurse at Children's Hospital at Stanford. After moving back to Madison, she became Director of Education for the National Association of Orthopedic Nurses. Terri had a passion for promoting specialty education at the clinical nursing level. During this period, she worked with colleagues Ann Maher and Susan Salmond to produce "Orthopedic Nursing", the first nursing textbook devoted to Orthopedic Care; the book is currently in its third edition. While working with NAON, she received her Ph.D from the University of Wisconsin. She began teaching at UW, and developed an interest in nursing research. Terri became the Director of Nursing Research at UW Hospital. She was given the opportunity to return to teaching by her friend and colleague, Dr. Kim Litwack, and taught undergraduate and graduate nursing students at both UW Madison and UW Milwaukee. In 2012, Terri was honored by Madison Magazine as one of Madison's Favorite Nurses. She was a tireless champion of nursing scholarship.
Terri's love of animals led her to volunteer at the Dane County Humane Society. She spent many days and nights in an old dilapidated trailer tending to sick kitties. She fostered many orphaned cat litters, and would show pictures of them to her students and ask them to vote on names. On her last day of life, she was comforted by a magnificent Great Dane, who spent the day lying with her. Her other passion was shopping, and many times she single handedly pulled the United States from recession. If not for Terri, we'd all be learning Chinese today.
She is survived by her husband Tom, her wonderful kids Mike and Katie, her sister Nancy, and brothers Rick and Ron. She was preceded in death by her parents, Dick and JoAnn Kuhn.
Terri's life with her disease was made far more comfortable by the efforts of her friends and family. While impractical to list everyone, special mention needs to be made to her sister Nancy, who would leave her home at first call to help, and her friend Kelly who was her confidant. Tom thanks his colleagues at Madison Anesthesiology Consultants for their support of his need for so many absences.
The family wishes to acknowledge the care provided by Terri's physicians at UW. Her Primary Care doctor Ann Schmidt, her Oncologists Drs. Dan Mulkerin and Ian Robins, her Infectious Disease specialist Dr. Chris Crnich, and Interventional Radiologists Drs. John Falluca and John McDermott, as well as Tom's many Anesthesia colleagues, especially Josh Sebranek who cared for Terri during her Whipple. A special thank you goes to Dr. Clifford Cho, whose dedication to Terri's care went far beyond his many hours spent with her in the operating room. Cliff, you are truly a hero. Additionally, the family wishes to thank the skill and care provided Terri by the many nurses and aides at UW Hospital.
A visitation is planned at the family home, located at 7613 Farmington Way in Madison. Hours of visitation are Saturday February 23, from 1-5 PM and Sunday February 24 from 1-4 PM. As this is a residential neighborhood, please consider ride-sharing. If you have a favorite story about or memory of Terri, please jot it down and bring it so the family can create a memory book. Pictures are welcome.
After her family, Terri's passion was nursing education and research. Accordingly, the family requests that in lieu of flowers, please consider a contribution to the UW School of Nursing. Donations may be made at:

By Brandon Speck/NEMS Daily Journal
Roger McMillin could see the end of the Boston Marathon. The New Albany resident was seconds away from finishing in his third straight Boston run.
Then came the first of the two explosions that shook the marathon, eventually killing three people, including 8-year-old Martin Richard, and wounding more than 170 others.
"I was as good as finished, had noting else on my mind but finishing," McMillin said from Baltimore as he awaited his flight back to Mississippi. "The first bomb went off and I kind of slowed up in shock. It looked like smoke shot out and like the whole front of the building was falling. Ten or 15 seconds later, the other bomb went off behind me."
Officials let McMillin, 67 – a retired state appeals court judge – and close-by runners finish the run right in the middle of it all. He had to cross by the original explosion. He said he didn't get hit by anything from the explosion. His biggest concern was finding his daughter, Sally.
Corinth's Kenneth Williams, 71, was actually wearing a "Right on Hereford; Left on Boylston" (site of the explosions) shirt, referencing the final two turns of the run.
"I saw smoke going across the sky," said Williams, less than a mile from the finish. "We stood there about an hour-and-a-half."
McMillin saw people pushing over the barricades, getting their legs tangled in them, getting shoved out of the way. After finishing, he says officials diverted everyone away from the scene.
"It was way too much to take in, in that little bit of time," McMillin said. "There were ambulances everywhere, stretchers and wheel chairs pouring out of there. It was just chaos, controlled chaos, but chaos. Like a war zone, like nothing I had ever seen before in my life.
McMillin compared both blows to cannons fired at football games, but louder. The low afternoon temperatures, not to mention a 26-mile run that ended the way it did, takes its toll on the body and McMillin couldn't manage to use his cell phone in the scramble.
It wasn't until he got three blocks back to his hotel that he could start to relax.
"Thank God," McMillin said, before pausing to compose himself. "My daughter was there, so we were reunited."

Description The California spiny lobster, Panulirus interruptus, is a species of spiny lobster found in the eastern Pacific Ocean from Monterey Bay, California to the Gulf of Tehuantepec, Mexico. It typically grows to a length of 30 cm (12 in) and is a reddish-brown color with stripes along the legs, and has a pair of enlarged antennae but no claws. The interrupted grooves across the tail are characteristic for the species.
Females can carry up to 680,000 eggs, which hatch after 10 weeks into flat phyllosoma larvae. These feed on plankton before the metamorphosis into the juvenile state. Adults are nocturnal and migratory, living among rocks at depths of up to 65 m (213 ft), and feeding on sea urchins, clams, mussels and worms. The spiny lobster is eaten by various fish, octopuses and sea otters, but can defend itself with a loud noise produced by its antennae. The California spiny lobster is the subject of both commercial and recreational fishery in both Mexico and the United States, with sport fishermen using hoop nets and commercial fishermen using lobster traps.
Habitat Rocks, Ocean or bay shallows, Tidepools.
Range California.

News Corp. Chief Files for Divorce
News Corp. Chairman and Chief Executive Rupert Murdoch filed for divorce from his wife, Wendi Deng Murdoch, in New York State Supreme Court on Thursday, citing as grounds "that the relationship has broken down irretrievably," spokespeople for Mr. Murdoch confirmed.
The divorce filing, which comes after 14 years of marriage, is unlikely to jeopardize the Murdoch family's control of News Corp., the media conglomerate whose properties range from Fox News to 20th Century Fox and The Wall Street Journal. Nearly all of the Murdoch family's voting stock—a block of 38.4%—is held through the Murdoch Family Trust, whose beneficiaries are Mr. Murdoch's six children, including his two younger girls by Wendi Murdoch, Grace and Chloe, ages 11 and 9, respectively.
Only the four older children by Mr. Murdoch's first two marriages have the right to appoint trustees for the trust, giving them the right to eventually control the stock when the 82-year-old Mr. Murdoch dies, according to a person familiar with the situation. Mrs. Murdoch, 44, isn't a beneficiary of the trust, according to the person. These older children are James, currently deputy chief operating officer of News Corp., and Lachlan, a former company executive who is on the News Corp. board, Elisabeth and Prudence.
Mr. Murdoch personally holds another 1% of voting stock through a separate trust, government filings show. It isn't clear whether Mrs. Murdoch could seek a claim on that stock as a result of the divorce, although the couple have a prenuptial agreement dating from 1999, said the person.
Grace and Chloe have an interest in a block of nonvoting shares worth $269 million, held through a third trust, the GCM Trust, which is "administered by independent trustees for the benefit" of Mr. Murdoch's "minor children," filings show.
The couple's relationship has been strained for some years, according to people familiar with the situation.
From the Archives
It is likely that a prenuptial agreement makes it impossible for Mrs. Murdoch to obtain voting shares in the company in the event of a divorce, an attorney familiar with New York laws said. The attorney added that a New York judge would probably not award her any stock in court, as New York courts generally don't keep people as partners in business when they can't stay partners in marriage.
Mrs. Murdoch didn't immediately respond to an emailed request for comment. A person answering the phone at the Murdochs' Fifth Avenue apartment said she wasn't available.
The divorce filing comes just weeks before News Corp. is due to split into two companies, one holding publishing assets and retaining the News Corp. name and the rest holding film and TV assets called 21st Century Fox. The family will effectively control both companies.
From the Archive
News Corp. in recent years was racked by a scandal in its U.K. tabloid business over accusations of unethical practices in the pursuit of scoops. Mrs. Murdoch is remembered for when, at a parliamentary hearing on the scandal in July 2011, she leapt at a protester who lunged at Mr. Murdoch with a shaving-cream pie. She hit the assailant with an open-palm slap. Mrs. Murdoch's move elicited compliments from members of Parliament, one of whom said to Mr. Murdoch when the hearing restarted: "Your wife has a very good left hook."
Mr. Murdoch married China-born Deng Wen Di in 1999, shortly after divorcing his second wife, Anna, after 32 years of marriage. Ms. Deng, the daughter of a factory director in Guangzhou, China, was an employee for News Corp.'s Star TV unit in Hong Kong.
Mr. Murdoch and Ms. Deng, 38 years his junior, married in a twilight ceremony aboard his yacht in New York harbor, with all four of Mr. Murdoch's children from his first two marriages in attendance.
The couple subsequently had two girls—Grace, born in 2001, and Chloe, born in 2003. Tensions soon erupted between Mr. Murdoch and his eldest children over his new wife, their inheritance and the Murdoch family's control of News Corp., according to people familiar with the matter.
Under the terms of Mr. Murdoch's divorce from Anna, control of most of the Murdoch family's voting stake in News Corp. was to be preserved for Anna's three children—Elisabeth, Lachlan and James—and Prudence, a daughter from his first marriage, according to people familiar with the situation.
After the births of Grace and Chloe, Mr. Murdoch explored ways to give them some control of the stake, according to people familiar with the matter. Ultimately, the younger children became beneficiaries of the trust that holds most of the voting stock, but they don't have any right to exercise any control.
After quitting her job at Star TV, Mrs. Murdoch continued to play a role at News Corp. after her marriage, acting as a liaison in China and helping identify possible investments. She was a director of the China unit of News Corp.'s Myspace website, from 2008 until 2011, when News Corp. sold Myspace. She hasn't had a role at the company since then, according to a person familiar with the situation.
In recent years, she has pursued a movie career: She made her debut as a producer of a 2011 movie, "Snow Flower and the Secret Fan," about two footbound children in nineteenth century China. The movie, directed by Wayne Wang, was released by News Corp.'s Fox Searchlight Pictures. Hugh Jackman, who attended the baptism of Ms. Deng's daughters in Jordan, made a cameo in the movie.
"Snow Flower and the Secret Fan" made $1.3 million in domestic box office revenue and $10 million overseas, according to Box Office Mojo.
In 2010, Mr. and Mrs. Murdoch appeared on the cover of "Hello!" magazine dressed all in white for the baptism of their children. Queen Rania of Jordan, Nicole Kidman, Donald Trump's daughter Ivanka, and Google Inc. co-founder Larry Page were in attendance on the banks of the River Jordan.
Mr. Murdoch owns several residences in the U.S., including a ranch in Carmel, Calif., a Beverly Hills home and a Fifth Avenue penthouse, which he bought in 2005 for $44 million, then the highest price ever for a New York City home. Property records show that the Fifth Avenue apartment is owned jointly with Wendi Murdoch, as is a Beverly Hills home. In May, Mr. Murdoch tweeted about the purchase of a "beautiful small" Moraga vineyard in Los Angeles. He also owns properties in London and Beijing.
Mr. Murdoch has lately raised some cash from stock sales. In February, Mr. Murdoch sold a small portion of his voting shares for a total of around $69 million through several transactions, filings show. He no longer owns non-voting shares: in November 2012, he sold what was left of his non voting stock for more than $10 million. He had sold another $62 million worth of nonvoting shares a year earlier.
Ira E. Garr, founder of matrimonial law firm Garr Silpe, is representing Mr. Murdoch in the divorce. Mr. Garr has represented Ivana Trump in various of her divorces. This is the first time Mr. Garr has represented Mr. Murdoch.
Pamela Sloan of Aronson Mayefsky & Sloan is representing Ms. Deng.

I'm getting worried that the cheques I sent in over a week ago to the Wachovia still haven't been recognized in my account. I hope they didn't get lost.
Went window shopping in town but didn't see anything of particular intrest. Worse, still couldn't find a suitable DVD player. Not a single electrical/hifi shop sold them in black.
Went home and looked around on the web for ages before settling on a Sampo 612 DVD player that was capable of PAL/NTSC internal conversion and was region free/setable with the added bonus of being macrovision disabled, however, the important item was that it is BLACK. Ordered it up. It should arrive in about a weeks time.

Icy roads create tricky travel
Crashes, slideoffs, rollovers reported
MADISON, Wis. - Street crews have been working throughout the night trying to get roads ready for the morning commute.
But some roads are better than others.
The streets division says the freezing drizzle and rain overnight left all streets with a coating of thin ice. Crews have been out salting main arterials, connector streets, bus routes and streets around hospitals.
As of 6 a.m. Monday, officials say the main arterials are in good winter driving condition.
Second streets on the city's salt routes have also been salted. However, residential streets where salt has not been applied are icy and slippery.
Crews have begun sanding operations on residential streets. They will sand hills, curves and intersections in order to give traction on icy spots.
About a half-dozen crashes with minor injuries happened in Dane County, with more serious incidents happening throughout southern Wisconsin.
Deputies said it took a lot of time to respond to each report, leading to longer response times.
"We are busier than normal," Dane County Deputy Brad Duffrin said. "Motorists need to be aware that it is going to take us more time to respond to them because there are so many calls and so few of us out there."
Duffrin said most crashes happened on rural roads, which salt trucks weren't giving as much attention Sunday, or on highway on- and off-ramps.
Icy conditions slowed drivers down on Interstate 90/94 near the Wisconsin Dells, leading to a long commute for Jessica Niedermayer.
It took the Milwaukee woman five hours to get from her brother's house in Minneapolis to the rest stop near Poynette.Icy roads create tricky travel
"I've lost about an hour and a half, so it's taken me a really long time," she said, scraping ice from her vehicle's headlights. "I've seen at least a dozen cars in the ditch with their flashers on."
Officials warned drivers that, even though the precipitation turned to rain Sunday afternoon, it could still freeze on cold roads.
The City of Madison had 36 salt and plow crews on the roads Sunday and they will continue until the streets are no longer slippery, streets superintendent Chris Kelley said in a statement.
A winter storm warning was in effect until midnight Sunday for Grant, Crawford, Richland, Vernon, Juneau, and Adams counties.
A winter weather advisory was in effect until midnight Sunday for Iowa, Dane, Lafayette, Green, Rock, Jefferson, and Walworth counties.
And a winter weather advisory was in effect until 3 a.m. Monday for Dodge, Marquette, Green Lake, Sauk, and Columbia counties.

3D Data Viewer
Provide 3D Views of experimental models
You must login before you can run this tool.
Version 2.0.2 - published on 19 Jun 2013
Open source: license | code unavaialble
Published on
Downloads: Windows Linux Mac OS X
The 3D Data Viewer (developed by CEES at RPI in collaboration with Oregon State University) is a tool specially designed to display both 3D models as well as 2D plots side by side.
Although this tool can be used for simple 3D visualization, the 3D Data Viewer really shines when used to organize data from various sources which can be represented in 3D space.
At CEES we run tests on geotechnical models with dozens of sensors embedded within the model capturing thousands of data points. To organize all that data we display a virtual representation of the physical model and make the sensors interactive elements so the user can select them and plot their data. This aids tremendously in organizing the data and getting a good high-level understanding of the test results. 3D Data Viewer is also a great collaboration tool.
Features at a Glance
- 3D Views of experimental models
- Sensors drawn on a 3D grid
- Specimen can be drawn for visualization (e.g., soil, container, water, etc)
- Plots data acquired from sensor; plots can be overlaid for comparison
- Automatic Install, just click a link to get started
- Describe your model in Google Sketchup
- Import sensor configurations from delimited definition files
- Access Models and Data on NEESHub

Safety - Making the world a safer place
Some people view safety as protecting drivers in an emergency. That is, however, only one part of the overall picture.
Of course, the safety of a Volvo truck is continuously and meticulously tested – in our laboratories, on test tracks and out on the roads where the trucks are constantly in use.
However the fact that we have always managed to be at the front line in safety work is not only thanks to our pioneering safety innovations. It's because our safety concept has evolved to encompass safety in a broader context: it comprises personal, family and business values as well.
In our view, safety is about people, about all of us, about you. As our founders put it, "An automobile carries, and is driven by, people. Safety is and must be the basic principle in all design work".
When we start to design a Volvo truck we approach safety from two major perspectives - Preventing Accidents and Reducing Injuries.

Little Round Top is the smaller of two rocky hills south of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. It was the site of an unsuccessful assault by Confederate troops against the Union left flank on July 2, 1863, the second day of the Battle of Gettysburg. Considered by many historians to be the key point in the Union Army's defensive line that day, Little Round Top was defended successfully by the brigade of Colonel Strong Vincent. The 20th Maine Volunteer Infantry Regiment, commanded by Col. Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain, fought the most famous engagement there, culminating in a dramatic downhill bayonet charge that is one of the most well-known actions at Gettysburg and in the American Civil War.
Little Round Top can be seen on the distant left. Big Round Top is visible in the distant center. Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.

This wedding has made me fall deeply in love with the idea of having a wedding. Don't get me wrong; I adore weddings in general (I mean, YOU KNOW THIS). But this wedding makes me excited for every bride who gets to design her day with awesome vendors and an awesome husband and what is clearly awesome design-mindedness. But really, it's the dreaminess of the pictures that did it for me. Dreamy, ever-so-slightly-out-of-focus photos are soooooooo the number one thing in my book (aside from making sure you love the person you're marrying, but that goes without saying… or does it?).
And by the way, her bridesmaids = ADORABLENESS. Their shoes = ADORABLENESS to the MAX.
And now for some serious detail action:

Windows users should consider WinAVR's avrdude instead of the avrdude included with Arduino software.
This is kind of getting off topic, but if my application will not be doing anything with analog inputs, how should I leave AREF; floating or decoupled to GND(or other option)?
wondering about the proper fuse settings, etc.
What's the best solution for a newbie like me to get this thing loaded and functioning?
Also, once burned, can it be reburned with new fuse settings?
One more thing: I may want to use a chip like the ATtiny45 for a project. Is there a way to stick with the Arduino IDE or should I learn to use AVR Studio 4, etc. for that?

Hi I am new to the sport. What I like to know is there such a thing as too much calling.
What do you do for example do you yelp for 2 minutes then take a 5 minute break and yelp again? Or do you just yelp nonstop tell a bird shows up?
Also when a tom is coming in and sees the decoys do you stop calling or do you keep calling untill he is in range?
Thanks for the help

Buckingham Research analyst John Zolidis downgraded his rating on Target (TGT) to Neutral from Buy today on concerns that the company's prospects aren't as promising for the rest of 2012.
"February comps grew 7.0% and March followed with a 7.3% increase. Favorable weather, easy comparisons, and the shift of Easter related sales together with the Pfresh roll-out, 5% rewards adoption and an improving economy contributed to the sales gains. Going forward, compares are harder and extraordinary weather may not continue. April will be hurt by the Easter shift."
Target has also already raised its first quarter earnings guidance, so a strong earnings report may already be reflected in the stock price, Zolidis added. With the stock up 13% year to date, he urged investors to look elsewhere for more upside.
