Cardinal Stritch names new vice president
Fox Point - Cardinal Stritch University announced in a news release that Robert Buckla, an institutional advancement executive, has been named vice president of university advancement.
Buckla previously served in similar roles at Averett University and Hyde Schools on the east coast.
"Dr. Buckla is a proven fundraiser with demonstrated success in establishing, maintaining, and enhancing relationships," said Stritch President James Loftus in the news release.
Buckla starts Sep. 1.
Drive sober in Brown Deer or get pulled over
Brown Deer - Brown Deer police, among other state and national law enforcement agencies, will increase their street presence from through Monday, Sep. 3 as part of the annual Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over mobilization.
The goal of the event, according to an Aug. 13 news release from the Brown Deer Police Department, isn't to arrest more drunk drivers but rather to deter drunken driving in an effort to save lives and prevent injuries.
Special assessment hearing impending for water work
Thiensville - A public hearing was set for 6 p.m. Sep. 4 by the Thiensville Village Board last week, dealing with the village's intent to impose a special assessment on property within the Laurel Acres subdivision for a water distribution system.
The amount of assessment per property owner is set at $11,000 and can be paid over a maximum period of 10 years.
Gilda's Club now Cancer Support Community
Whitefish Bay - Gilda's Club of Southeastern Wisconsin, headquartered within the Jewish Community Center in Whitefish Bay, is taking on the name of its national affiliate, becoming Cancer Support Community Greater Milwaukee.
Though the name has changed, the goal of identifying and treating the needs of cancer patients and those connected to them stands.
"As part of our mission, we sustain people with community," said Executive Director Trish Haudricourt in a news release.
No traffic signals to be placed at Arbon Drive, Brown Deer
Brown Deer - Proposed traffic signals at Arbon Drive and Brown Deer Road will not be installed because of cost.
Several nearby companies and organizations had requested the village look into placing signals at the intersection, citing concerns about traffic patterns.
While Rite-Hite, Bank Mutual, Otto's Wine Cask and Badger Meter favored the signals, an agreement could not be reached on a cost-sharing method between all parties.
Village Manager Russell Van Gompel recommended the board drop the issue.
To date, the village has incurred $52,000 in engineering fees, and staff members are working to recoup some of that by invoicing the four private parties.
Investigation targets leaks at water tower
Brown Deer - The Village Board on Monday approved a $10,060 contract in an effort to determine the source of perceived leaks at the municipal water tower.
Water Superintendent Mike Rau said there have been increases in water losses within the tower. In the past two quarters, leaks have increased about 6 percent, he said.
"We have performed leak detection with our utility staff and equipment, but have not found leakage that would equal this amount," Rau wrote in a memo, pointing to the rationale of seeking outside assistance.
AECOM, a technical support firm, has been awarded the contract.

My almost 16 year old golden retriever is, I believe, starting to suffer from Laryngeal Paralysis.
Does anyone know of any surgeons that do the laser surgery for LarPar, other than Dr. Sadanaga in PA and the surgeon (sorry, don't have the name) in South Carolina?
Also, does anyone have any experience with this alternative?
For general information, here is a description of the procedure:
Dr. Sadanaga's procedure is an alternative to the tie-back. It is not just
the old-style "debarking procedure" but consists of two procedures done at
the same time: laser removal of the vocal cords to enlarge the airway
lumen (space), and fixation of the arytenoid cartilages to the thyroid
cartilages which have separate innervation. The result is that the dog
loses its "normal" voice, but the laryngeal architecture is otherwise
largely maintained and the larynx can still close when swallowing because
the arytenoid cartilages are now fixed to the thyroid cartilages and can
move with them. So the huge advantage is that the dog can still swim, and
the increased risk of aspiration pneumonia over that of a normal (non-LP)
dog is essentially zero. The resulting airway enlargement is not quite as
large as can be achieved with the tie-back, but it is more than sufficient
to allow the dog to breathe and cool off."

And you get it without the icky frameworks that the Twisted (and Zope, I suppose) crowd like so much. I like it. A lot.

And he will dress up like a sexy cop for a small additional fee!
In this soon-to-be critically acclaimed film, Ryan Gosling plays Sammie, a down-on-his-luck gigolo whom women pay to cuddle with them and say nice things.
He charges a mere $5 extra if you want him to cuddle your baby, too.
Eva Mendes' character Rita must take a second job at a diner to pay for her dangerous cuddling addiction.
Sammie is saving up all his gigolo money to buy a dressage horse, which is why he can't afford to get his shirts mended.
Still thinking about cuddling.
Meanwhile, there is new gigolo in town named Bobby. He's a little bit older than Sammie, but he's willing to go to second base and he looks like Bradley Cooper.
He also has some really nice clothes.
And he will dress up like a sexy cop for a small additional fee!
A mysterious man appears to warn Bob of the coming gigolo war.
Up-and-coming gigolos decide that they also want to compete.
Surprise, Bobby's fake gun is a real gun! He will now take all the business.

But this will be our third Punisher figure, and we definitely don't need him. I admit to not being up on my Ultimate Marvels (mostly because I don't really like the overwhelming majority Ultimate line), but I don't seem to recall Ultimate Punisher looking remarkably different from regular Punisher. Someone prove me wrong.
Great news about Loki, Power Man, Iron Fist, and Shang Chi! I'm even grateful to finally be getting Mole Man, Kingpin, and even Hannibal King could end up being kind of cool (at least my Blade movie figure won't be so lonely anymore - I'm assuming this is the movie version since the comics version could be pretty boring - but wouldn't a Jessica Biel figure have been even cooler? Yum!) Even origin Captain America with Bucky (as long as he's done right - read: with Marvel Legends articulation) and Origin Daredevil should be pretty cool (I've always had a thing for the original Yellow and Brown costume). I really don't think we need Savage Land Wolvie (now they're just getting ridiculous!) nor Lady Deathstrike and Tombstone; don't get me wrong, the lady was cool in X2, but the comics version and "z"-lister Tombstone suck badly!
I also can really do without Ultimate Green Goblin as he blows to no end; seems more like he should be the Green Gargoyle to me. He doesn't call to mind anything nearing a goblin to me.

|Our Environment We are stewards of wild places
|Topic Review (Newest First)
I greatly enjoyed you'r post. It's been some years since I fished in the south west near
State college, and Dunbar Creek in Fayette county. Do you know anyone who fishes
these waters ? Just curious.
Great News!
Having been raised in north east PA, it was great to hear about all the reclamation that has gone on. I never fished the Lehigh but do remember where it went under the highway on the road from Scranton to Mount Pocono. That was over 50 years ago and at that time the area around there was still quite wild and beautiful. That area was apparently above the pollution and I do recall a lunker brown of 24" was taken in that stretch at the time. I was never aware of the down river pollution so I'm grateful that someone took the time to post this reclamation report.
|if you guys haven't seen it, there was an article on kettle creek in the latest issue of trout, the trout unlimited magazine. great info, flytyer.
Good News!
Quite an eye opener! Thanks for the positive info, just goes to show it can be done!
I was aware of the Pine Creek reclamation, but was unaware of what was happening on Kettle Creek. Kettle Creek is a one of the prettiest creeks I've ever seen and as you know, the fishing on it used to be limited to the rather small upper creek above the acid mine water problems. Good to hear it now has fish in it further downstream and that they are brook trout.
I was told by my brother and father that the Little Schuylkill River has brook trout in its upper few miles that have moved into it from Schuylkill County's Pine, Locust, and Tamened Creeks.
Big Dave,
The middle and lower Lehigh River has some very good, but little known, limestone spring creeks emptying into it. Since it has been reclaimed, I would expect that some of the larger brook trout in those streams will move into the Lehigh. And one of the very nice things about the Lehigh is that access is very easy if a person is willing to walk a little via the old Lehigh Valley Railroad bed on the river's west bank, which is part of the rail-to-trails program and thus public land. The public access points to the trail and boat launching areas are spaced 5-7 miles apart, so if a person walks just around the bend, he pretty much would have the water to himself.
And the Lehigh above Mauch Chunk (I know the maps now call it Jim Thorpe, but it was Mauch Chunk when I was growing up. The town council changed its name because someone offered them money to do so since the Native American athlete Jim Thorpe played semi-pro ball for the long defunct Mauch Chunk team. To me, it will always be Mauch Chunk, which means big, black, rock-i.e. antracite coal.) all the way to the town of White Haven is part of the Lehigh Gorge State Park.
Very cool info flytyer,
I fished on 2 others this year that are benefiting from this type of activity. Pine creek in north central PA has active liming stations and is doing very well. And Kettle creek, also in north central PA.
Kettle is a bit different then the rest because they are using a new passive method of liming the creek. They have created settling ponds where the acid mine drainage is concentrated. The ponds are lined with limestone. I understand that they have learned a great deal since they put them in and there are some improvements to the system they are making, but the results have been amazing. Kettle is now loaded with wild brook trout. I went down in the late spring and caught dozens of them. Love wild brook trout!
Thanks for that report. It's rare that we get a positive post from the envronmental front.
PA has some of the best trout fishing in the east. Love the limestoners and their picky wild fish.
|John Desjardins
Its always good to hear stories of river rebirth. They remind all of us of what can be accomplished by groups of dedicated people.
And good luck the next time your back east. I know that in the area around me several rivers that previously were heavily polluted now offer good fishing for a variety of fish.
Reborn Pennsylvania trout streams
The last week of July/first week of August I visited my father and siblings in Northeastern Pennsylvania and was very pleasantly surprised to find the Little Schuylkill River and the middle and lower Lehigh River were supporting rather large and healthy populations of trout. The reason I was so surprised is these were biologically dead from acid mine water (Little Schuylkill) or acid mine water, zinc mining pollution, and zinc smelting pollution (middle and lower Lehigh) since the middle 1800's. Obviously something changed for the better.
Dad and my brother Dave told me that a small group of local fishermen from the area around Tamaqua, PA (it is a mere 7 miles from where I grew up in the small village of Delano, PA) began looking into how to bring the Little Schuylkill back to life after 150 years of being polluted by the coal mining. They found adding liming stations on the river would neutralize the sulfuric acid from the coal mines and began a campaign to get other fishermen and sportsmens groups and the legislature to put a single liming station on it right below where the 4 small streams (only one of them was polluted, the others supported trout) that form it came together and formed the river. This single liming station proved to be so successfull that insects, minnows, and trout began to repopulate the first 4 miles of this small river.
This allowed them to get more liming stations downstream and now the Little Schuylkill River in the area from New Ringgold to Origsburg is considered class 1 trout water. Remarkable considering it was biologically dead as recently as 1985. Now there are several fly shops and many people fishing this 30 mile long small river. And because liming was so successful on it, it was tried on its sister river the North Branch Schuylkill downstream of Pottsville, PA. The result is not only do both the Little Schuylkill and North Branch Schuylkill now support trout, the mainstem Schuylkill supports trout to an area downstream of Reading, PA, or another 30 miles of river. To put this into historic reference, during Colonial times, the Schuylkill River had brook trout and shad in it all the way to its mouth in Philadelphia, where it joined the Delaware; but by the time of the Civil War, it was biologically dead to well below Reading from the acid mine water.
The middle Lehigh was badly hurt by acid mine water from stream that joined it from near the town of Weatherly, PA to below Mauch Chunk, PA (which is now known as Jim Thorpe) some 20 miles of river. These steams are now cleaned up and no longer dump acid mine water in the river. Weatherly is 15 miles from the village of Delano and Mauch Chunk is 20 miles from Delano. The Lehigh below Mauch Chunk beginning near the town of Lehighton, PA (which is 25 miles from Delano) all the way down stream to Palmerton had zinc mines and zinc smelters along it and both the mines and the smelters dumped lots of toxic crap into the river; thus, it was biologically dead as well.
The Lehigh now supports trout all the way to its confluence with the Delaware at Easton, PA. This means that over 50 miles of river have been reclaimed since the mid-'80's. There are now fly shops, rafting companies, kyac outfitters, general tackle shops, and even fishing guides in the towns along the Lehigh River. My brother told me Pennsylvania Fish Commission is beginning to try and reintroduce shad to the Lehigh.
The reason I posted these success is that the movement to restore them was started by sportsfishers and they show that it can be done if fishermen get themselves informed, get other interested user groups involved (like rafters), inform the public, and work on local legislators (or get new ones elected, possibly from among the ranks of the concerned sportsfishers).
I honestly never thought I'd see in my lifetime the rebirth of these rivers, and yet they have been reborn. Next time I visit Pennsylvania, I will be taking a rod with me so I can fish them because they are rather pretty rivers that now hold good populations of trout, instead of sulfuric acid from the coal.

[font="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"]Second open house scheduled June 4
to discuss release site for wild turkeys
[font="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"]
[font="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"]
OLYMPIA - The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) has scheduled an informational open house June 4 in Acme to discuss a proposal to introduce wild turkeys to Whatcom County.
The public session, the second meeting in a month on the proposal, is scheduled from 6-8 p.m. at the Acme Elementary School, 5200 Turkington Rd.
Representatives from WDFW will provide information on the proposal to release wild turkeys at a site about five to 10 miles northeast of Acme. The possible release site was determined after the department conducted a habitat evaluation of several sites in Whatcom and Skagit counties, said Mick Cope, WDFW upland game bird manager.
John Thiebes, a regional biologist with the National Wild Turkey Federation, also will give a presentation on wild turkey management and biology, Cope said.
"At our May meeting, we received some good input on this project," Cope said. "We'd like to meet with the community again and give people another opportunity to talk with us about the proposal."
Since 2006, WDFW has been discussing the idea of establishing a self-sustaining wild turkey population in the northern Puget Sound area with the National Wild Turkey Federation and meeting with local stakeholders.
Washington has three turkey subspecies, all of which are non-native and have been introduced within the past 45 years to provide hunting and viewing opportunities. Eastern turkeys can be found in southwestern Washington; Merriam's turkeys live along the eastern slope of the Cascade Range and in northeastern Washington; and Rio Grande turkeys are found primarily in the southeastern corner of the state.
For more information on wild turkey management, visit WDFW's website at http://wdfw.wa.gov/wlm/game/water/turkey/management/.

However, prospective MBA students should be thinking about the skills and experiences they would like to be able to convey to employers from day one. That is why we offer students a flexible curriculum. But what does this really mean?Most top MBA programs do a great job of teaching the fundamentals of business, and Illinois is no exception. As a first-year student at Illinois, you will explore core subjects including Marketing, Accounting, Data Analysis, Leadership & Ethics, Organizational Theory & Design and others in collaborative and team-oriented environment. While the top-rated faculty and small class size are advantages of the Illinois MBA program, the real differentiator is in your second year. Second year MBA students at Illinois can take up to four graduate-level elective classes anywhere within the University of Illinois. Imagine the possibilities. Want to work in China after graduation? Take a Chinese language class in the Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures. Interested in working at technology startup after graduation? Why not take a patent law class at the College of Law, a Top 25 program. Want to be a brand manager? Why not augment your marketing classes with some Advertising or Consumer Psychology studies. If Information Technology is your game, you can take classes in Computer Science, a program consistently ranked in the Top 5 nationally.Earning an MBA is a personal journey and we want you to customize your experience, thus maximizing the possibility of landing your dream job. If you choose to earn your MBA at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, you will be able to leverage all the resources at the campus level to customize your story. That is what we mean by a flexible curriculum.stats1,029 Views 0 Comments additional actions Add Comment

I feel a great disturbance in the Force.
Looks good, the alternate head will make prequel fans happier, but I am not seeing this in my collection, I'm happy enough with the $12 Hasbro 1:6 Yoda from the '90s.
100 dollars? They really are price gouging us considering the ESB version was under 80. The head looks to smashed. It looks more like Gary Coleman than Yoda.
You know, the more I think about this, the more it ticks me off. This figure shouldn't be more than $50. First off, the mold has already been made with the ESB Yoda. They don't need to remake the body, or the arms and legs. Just an update to the head is all. If tooling is the most expensive part of manufacturing, why is this $30 more than the ESB one? Nothing about this price makes sense, especially considering it's Yoda 1.5.
This one comes with an extra portrait head, so there is some level of justification in the increase. New sculpt, new production, and new paint for it.

It is true Blizzard sells pets and crap like that for cash, but it is not true that they are selling anything different now. They're providing a cash auction house where PLAYERS can sell stuff to OTHER PLAYERS for money. In short, they're targeting the third party sites that sell items. That's it.
If Blizzard *themselves* were selling weapons or armor or something that they created, then yes, I would agree. This is just bringing the player-to-player exchanges that have been around since forever in-house.
Eh. If I was going to have to deal with a bunch of cash, I'd charge a fee too. It's a huge pain in the ass. They'll need new staff, and they'll have to pay fees, etc, etc.
All they're doing is hosting a player auction house, where items can be bought from players by players for cash. They're not selling items themselves.
Your point would be more valid if there weren't dozens of services that do the exact same thing already. I see this as Blizzard making a virtue of necessity: if people are going to sell their rare items, then why not facilitate that?
Nobody is making you play.

E-mu SP-12
The E-mu SP-12 is the classic drum machine & sampler combo that paved the way for such greats as the E-mu SP-1200 and AKAI MPC series of sampling drum machines. Redesigned from E-mu's original Drumulator drum machine, the SP-12 is a classic drum machine with built in sampling capability. There is a set of preset drum sounds including kick, snare, hihats, toms, cymbals, handclap and rimshot. These sounds can be mixed and edited using the sliders. Then you can add your own beats and drum sounds using the built-in 12-bit sampler. Sampling time is limited to only a few seconds and the quality is very lo-fi (a sound loved by lo-fi and trip hop). Store your patterns and link them into songs, there's room for 100 of each! There are mono and individual outputs (no stereo). It's been used by Madlib, Large Professor, Chicago, and DJ Premiere.
The SP-12 was quickly superceded by the SP-1200 in 1987 which was continuously reissued through 1997. The SP-1200 is undoubtedly the more popular of the two since it has added features and emphasized sampling by eliminating the preset drum sounds. However, for the classic synth collector the SP-12 still makes a great gift!

2012 NFL Draft round 1 winners and losers
Even though an NFL game wasn*t played tonight, there always must be winners and losers. We present ours to you now.
|Luck, obviously, was one of the biggest winners of the NFL draft. (US Presswire)
Now that the first round of the 2012 NFL Draft -- and what a slow, predictable first round it was – is complete, we owe it to ourselves to review what actually happened. With 10,000 trades (approximately) and a whirlwind of activity, let's sit down for a second, take a deep breath and try to figure out what happened. Because even though an NFL game wasn't played Thursday night, there always must be winners and losers.
Indianapolis Colts / Washington Redskins : This is obvious and oh-so-very easy and, really, perhaps the only truly predictable occurrence Thursday. The Colts selected Stanford's Andrew Luck No. 1, and the Redskins grabbed Baylor's Robert Griffin III at No. 2. And just like that, Indianapolis got its franchise quarterback to replace Peyton Manning and Washington got its franchise quarterback to replace … I don't know … Mark Rypien? Both franchises got wonderful players, and both cities got wonderful citizens. Neither squad could have done any better.
Rick Spielman: When Spielman was first named Minnesota Vikings general manager, I was skeptical. After all, he had made some solid moves in his player personnel role in Minnesota, but during his short time in Miami Dolphins , the team was rather unproductive. But he made some wonderful moves Thursday, convincing the Cleveland Browns to trade up one spot to No. 3 and grabbing a fourth-, a fifth- and seventh-rounder from Cleveland for his trouble. Then, he got the guy he wanted anyway in Matt Kalil. Then, with pick No. 30, Spielman got the last high-level safety in the field in Harrison Smith. A productive day for Minnesota that sets up what could be an awfully productive 2012 draft.
Bruce Irvin: Even Irvin, the outside linebacker from West Virginia, was surprised he was picked by Seattle at No. 15. He later said he was expecting to go late in the first round -- many draft observers had him as a second-round selection -- but the Seattle Seahawks made an awfully Pete Carroll-like move, picking Irvin to play opposite Chris Clemons . There are plenty of red flags on Irvin -- he apparently busted up a Jimmy John's restaurant the day after his pro day -- and he's inconsistent on the field. But Carroll obviously liked something in him, and that made Irvin a big-time winner. Not bad for a guy who didn't finish high school.
Pittsburgh Steelers : Pittsburgh didn't have to do anything, and the guy who will fit in nicely with the team fell directly into a Steelers uniform. That'd be Stanford guard David DeCastro. Draft analysis Rob Rang had him ranked as the sixth-best prospect overall -- though there was no chance a guard would go that high -- but now that he's in Pittsburgh and playing next to Maurkice Pouncey , that will be a tough wall for a defender to penetrate.

Mock drafters: With five of the first six teams originally slated to pick in the first round swapping spots and 19 trades overall in the first round, it would have been virtually impossible to mock draft the first round with any kind of success. If I was mock drafter, I would have thrown away my sheet after the first five picks. Somehow, the NFL figured out how to make the draft exciting, so really, this is a win for most observers.
Colt McCoy : The third-year quarterback must have been so excited when he found out the Browns had selected Alabama running back Trent Richardson with the No. 3 pick. "Finally," I can imagine McCoy saying to himself, "they've given me a big-time offensive weapon. Finally, some of the offensive burden will be taken off me." Except later in the night, the Browns, at No. 22, selected Oklahoma State quarterback Brandon Weeden. Sure, that immediately set off jokes about how old Weeden is (he's 28), but don't think Weeden also won't be the favorite to win the Browns starting job in the fall. A great day quickly turned into a horrid day for McCoy.
LeGarrette Blount : When the Browns grabbed Trent Richardson and prevented the Tampa Bay Buccaneers from doing so -- thoughreally, we don't know how serious Tampa Bay was in trading up to Minnesota's No.3 in order to take the Alabama star -- Blount must have been pleased. But then the Buccaneers traded up to No. 31 and grabbed running back Doug Martin. Not only will Martin look to take away Blount's reps, Martin is from Boise State. And we all know the kind of trouble Blount had with Boise State in his college career.
Denver Broncos fans: After their hearts were ripped from the chests (in the form of Denver trading away Tim Tebow ), Broncos fans had to watch as the team traded down twice in the first round and didn't make a selection on Thursday. "Well, we didn't get any better yet," John Elway said afterward, "but we will tomorrow. I can understand the fans being a little bit disappointed. They want to get excited and see who's going to be the next Denver Bronco." And how will those fans ever get over this lack of a day? Oh yeah, Peyton Manning is still the starting quarterback.

Any parent of a newborn understands the crucial concept of 'swaddling'. Small babies like to be wrapped up like little burritos, because it harkens back to the snug and cozy fit that they experienced in the womb. You can swaddle your baby in any blanket or long piece of fabric, but swaddling is definitely made a whole lot easier with an organic velcro-laden contraption called the 'Swaddleme' by Kiddopotamus.
I accidentally discovered the beauty of this fabulous invention when a friend gave me a Swaddleme as a gift for my new baby. (Thank you Jeremy!) I've since thrown all of my intricate swaddle-folding skills to the wind, as the Swaddleme is so much easier to wrap up than a blanket – and virtually impossible for baby to wriggle out of. This baby-sized straight-jacket comes in organic cotton for green-minded mothers out there, and is a must for any new parent.
6 Responses to "Organic Swaddleme by Kiddopotamus"
This blanket didn\'t work for my wriggly newborn at all! My doula confirmed it hasn\'t been the best for her past clients either. Our little one would squirm to get his arms free and end up bunching the far too ample fabric by his face giving us SIDS fears. We had much better luck with the Miracle Blanket. With extra flaps for arms the MB was truly a straight jacket he rarely escaped! Unfortunately the MB isn\'t available in organic or this great modern Swaddleme print. It is available in natural (undyed?) cotton. Check out the demo video at http://www.miracleblanket.com
your baby is so beautiful!!!
awwww…pedro is so gorgeous!! looks so sweet and peaceful!!
I love the idea but still think doing the swaddling myself with a more thin piece o' cloth would be more snug. Glad it's working out for Baby P, just don't think it would have worked on my monkeys. : )
P.s. It might be good to mention that all young babies should also have a wedge on either side to prevent stomach sleeping… wonder if there's an organic option? I often used swaddling cloths tightly rolled on either side, worked well.
This is also a prime time for you to mention Halo Sleep Sacks. I've done zero research on whether they're green but I do know they kept my babies warm without danger during those first crucial months. (SIDs haunts me, I knew a baby that died of it.)
I hate the velcro sound when you are adjusting it or taking them out. We just used your standard old swaddling blankets and were fine. Make sure they are big enough and you'll be able to get them tight. And smaller rectangular shapes worked better when he was very tiny.

Timing. That's the crucial element missing from the rancorous debate, prompted by the U.S. Supreme Court's health-care ruling, over whether states will decide not to expand Medicaid.
Officials in the Obama administration confidently predict that few, if any, states will opt out of the expansion. Opponents say most of them will.
My guess is, both sides are right. Many states seem likely to opt out at first, judging by what their governors have said. Over time, however, assuming the law stays in place, most states will find it hard to resist the substantial subsidies for new enrollees. After all, over the past few decades, states have gradually added optional benefits and expanded the number of beneficiaries beyond the bare minimum required by the federal government. And they have done so in response to much smaller subsidies than offered under the 2010 health-care-reform law.
Before the court's ruling, the Affordable Care Act was projected to reduce the number of uninsured Americans by 30 million to 33 million in 2016 and beyond. More than half of those additional insured -- 16 million to 17 million -- were expected to gain coverage through the enlargement of Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program.
During the first three years, 2014 to 2016, the federal government is to fully subsidize this expansion. Then, the subsidy is scheduled to gradually decrease, but only to 90 percent in 2020 and thereafter. The average federal subsidy for current Medicaid beneficiaries is much lower; it varies from state to state but averages less than 60 percent.

Binghamton University to hold Commencement 2003 on May 18
Binghamton University will confer approximately 3,000 degrees for bachelor's, master's and doctoral candidates during the 2003 Commencement ceremonies Sunday, May 18, in the Broome
County Veterans Memorial Arena. The ceremonies mark the University's 57th commencement.
The ceremony for Harpur College of Arts and Sciences graduates is scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. The ceremony for the graduate and professional schools will begin at 12:30 p.m.
Director and producer Sydney Pollack will receive the honorary Doctor of Humane Letters and Nobel Prize-winning chemist Dr. Alan MacDiarmid will receive the honorary Doctor of Science at the morning ceremony. Each will also make remarks.
As the award-winning director of such films as They Shoot Horses Don't They?, Out of Africa, Tootsie, The Way We Were and The Firm, Pollack has explored human conduct, human ethics and values, all while featuring such outstanding performers as Robert Redford, Meryl Streep, Dustin Hoffman, Barbara Streisand, Paul Newman and Burt Lancaster.
Winner of Oscars for both directing and producing Out of Africa, Pollack has in recent years acted in Woody Allen's Husbands and Wives, Robert Altman's The Player and Robert Zemeckis' Death Becomes Her.
Chemist MacDiarmid was honored with the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2000, which he shared with fellow researchers Dr. Alan Heeger of the University of California, and Dr. Hideki Shirakawa of the University of Tsukuba in Japan. The award was based on their 1977 discovery of a polymer that could conduct electricity like a metal while retaining the properties of a plastic. Today, thousands of scientists around the world are working on new materials and applications based on the work of MacDiarmid and his collaborators. The technology derived from their studies is being used to make anti-static coating on photographic film and is expected to find its way to energy-saving light devices, LED displays and flexible "plastic" transistors and electrodes in the next few years.
The afternoon ceremony will begin with a welcome by Dr. Russell W. Bessette, M.D., executive director of the New York State Office of Science, Technology and Academic Research (NYSTAR). As executive director, Bessette leads NYSTAR in fulfilling its mandate to grow New York State's leadership position in high technology research and economic development. A critical element of NYSTAR's mission is the recognition that New York's world-class public and private research universities and academic centers are powerful economic development engines that can create new high-tech jobs and opportunity for New Yorkers.
Remarks for the afternoon ceremony will be given by inventor Dean Kamen and Mark Zurack '78, who will each be conferred with the honorary Doctor of Humane Letters.
Electromechanical engineer, inventor and entrepreneur Kamen didn't like school and earned poor grades while growing up, yet his inventions have changed lives. At the age of 24, he developed the first portable insulin pump, and some of his most recent inventions include an intervascular heart stent used to reduce blockage in arteries, and the Independence 3000 IBOT, an all-terrain wheelchair that can climb stairs and balance itself upright on two wheels. That technol0ogy also led to the production of the Segway Human Transportor, a two-wheeled battery-powered device that can travel up to eight miles per hour.
Kamen also founded FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology), a non-profit organization that motivates American children to learn about science and technology by pairing engineers and scientists with students in a national robot-building competition.
Zurack graduated from Binghamton University in 1978 with a degree in accounting, then continued his education at Cornell University, earning a master's degree in business administration. By 1983, he was working as a researcher in the stock index unit for Goldman Sachs on Wall Street. Within three years, Zurack had become vice president of the global equities derivatives research group. In 1994, he became a partner at Goldman Sachs, and two years later was a managing director of the company.
After 18 years with Goldman Sachs, Zurack retired, yet he continues to share his knowledge with students preparing for a financial services career. At Binghamton, he established a scholarship for students in financial need, facilitated a gift from Goldman Sachs to help students using the University's Career Development Center and, most recently, endowed a distinguished professorship in finance and economics that is shared between the School of Management and Harpur College. He remains an advisory director for Goldman Sachs.

For a 3D game engine I wrote,
I currently get models loaded into the engine by parsing files exported from 3DS Max using the ASCII export function. However, I cannot get this to work usefully for anything other than the geometry.
Specifically, animations and particle systems.
I have tried to export from 3DS Max in most of the formats in the list of export options, but I can't see any useful information in the resulting exported files about the animations and particle systems.
For my engine, I need the actual key frame information for animations. The engine is designed to just take the keyframe information and then do the interpolation and calculations in real-time. But I can't seem to figure out how to get 3DS Max to export the animations like that. Instead, they appear to be exported by just listing the transform at each various sampled frames, instead of listing the keyframes.
This is what I see when I try to export a model in the ASCII format with an animation that just translates a cube.
Also, when I try to export a particle system, I see nothing useful in the resulting file. My engine is designed to take a bunch of parameters for the system, and then instantiate a particle system with those parameters. I would like to be able to take the exact parameters of the system in 3DS Max and load them into my engine.
This is all I see when exporting a scene with a particle system:
I tried looking for guides on how to do this but have found nothing useful yet.

|A friend might have a perspective on a situation you previously didn't consider.
"Friends can help you approach problems with a new perspective," says Irene S. Levine, psychologist, creator of TheFriendshipBlog.com and author of "Best Friends Forever: Surviving a Breakup with Your Best Friend" "She may have a different background than you or have had different experiences. If she is older or younger, she may see things differently than you do."
She probably also has different strengths than you. It's true: You can't be good at everything! And nobody expects you to be. With a little teamwork, there's no obstacle you can't overcome.

|Do you disappear from your own social circle when you're dating somebody? Or, are you perpetually glued at the hip to your husband? Well, snap out of it! You need to make time to maintain relationships with your girlfriends because…well, who else are you going to talk to about your man? And, not to jinx you, but you might just need those friends should there be a breakup!
"No one person can be everything to another -- in fact, it can be smothering," says Levine. "There are things you can talk about to your girlfriends that men would have a hard time relating to or understanding. Your boyfriend may not be willing to listen to you bemoan the way you look in your bathing suit or may not understand how hurt you felt when another friend snubbed you."

|Friends aren't just great to have when the chips are down. There's something wonderful about knowing exactly who you'd want to call to say "I got the promotion!" "I'm having a baby!" or even, "He finally called!"
"True friends are eager to see each other succeed and grow," says Levine. "It's nice to have a friend who is rooting for you and helps motivate you to succeed. She may have been your greatest cheerleader and your success may feel like hers, in part. Also, her success may give you added confidence that you can do it, too."

|"It's important to schedule time with girlfriends just as you make regular appointments at the dentist or hair salon," says Levine. "Life can get busy and women get pulled in a million directions but spending time with friends makes you a better spouse, partner, or worker. If you are crunched for time, find ways to accomplish tasks with your friend like working out together."
Without a date planned with a good friend you otherwise might not go to that restaurant or make time to get a mani/pedi.

|"Remember comparing notes with your friends on what kissing was, how do you do it, how do you know you're good at it? Back then it was all new, so we needed to compare notes," says LeRoy.

"A friend will keep you in mind when she hears of a great opportunity that fits your needs," says Barbara Neitlich, a Beverly Hills psychotherapist.

Serves 4
These colorful vegetables caramelize in the pan, releasing steam that makes everything tender and moist. A quick, Spanish-inspired sauce adds a final flourish of flavor.
Combine 1-/2 Tbs. of the olive oil with the parsley, mint, olives, capers, sherry vinegar, lemon zest, cumin, sugar, and several grinds of pepper in a small bowl. Mix well and set aside.
In a 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat the remaining 3 Tbs. olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the carrots, turnips, and 1-1/2 tsp. salt. Toss well to coat the vegetables with the oil. (The pan will look crowded.)
Reduce the heat to medium, cover partially, and cook, stirring and flipping every 3 to 4 minutes with a spatula, for about 10 minutes. Add the shallots and 1/4 tsp. salt and stir well. Cover partially and continue to cook, stirring every 1 to 2 minutes, until the vegetables are tender and well-browned, 18 to 20 minutes. Reduce the heat if the vegetables brown too quickly.
Reduce the heat to medium low and add the kale, gently mixing until wilted. Stir in the parsley-mint sauce to taste, and remove the pan from the heat. Season to taste with more salt and pepper, and serve.
Pair any leftover sauce with grilled steak or chicken.

I find it most interesting Vicenc, and I do so in an entirely unjudgemental way, is how new homes are built right beside the remains of old homes. In Canada, the old homes would be razed, and a whole new set of homes built in thier place, and sold for a massive profit. Here, and in other pans I've observed over the last few days, it's almost as if the old homes are treated as rememberances to those who came before. I don't even see evidence of the old homes being razed for material for the new homes. Just an unjudgemental observance of the difference between cultures. Thanks for the great pan . . .

XTZ EarPhone-12
The new XTZ EarPhone-12 with a dedicated iOS app for DSP sound correction will blow your mind! The EarPhone-12 is our first earphone ever! Obviously, as you could expect from XTZ, we went for something completely new. The idea behind this project was not only to create a good earphone, maybe with an excellent price/quality ratio, but to build something revolutionary, something that expresses...

The vast majority of humanity does not use computers. From those who use computers, the vast majority does not use X (which is both a good and a bad thing). From those who use X, the vast majority will never have or want to tweak the settings of individual keys on their keyboard. But for those who do... here's how.
X has two nifty little programs: xev and xmodmap. The first tells you what is a key doing and the second allows you to tell it to do something else.
Say you want shift-4 to do pound signs instead of dollar signs. Run xev from a terminal. It will open a little window. Xev is an event dumper: whenever you do anything with that window (pass the mouse over it, move it around and, of course, press keys), xev will tell you what exactly the window is doing. For shift-4, xev reports:
KeyPress event, serial 30, synthetic NO, window 0x400001, root 0x60, subw 0x0, time 711922155, (165,-9), root:(171,43), state 0x11, keycode 13 (keysym 0x24, dollar), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (24) "$" XmbLookupString gives 1 bytes: (24) "$" XFilterEvent returns: False
KeyRelease event, serial 30, synthetic NO, window 0x400001, root 0x60, subw 0x0, time 711922297, (165,-9), root:(171,43), state 0x11, keycode 13 (keysym 0x24, dollar), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (24) "$"
I put the key data in bold. With xmodmap, I can now do this:
xmodmap -e 'keycode 13 = 4 sterling'
And there you go: £10.25! The first entry, '4' stands for the standard key, the second entry, 'sterling' for the shifted key. Amusingly, I forgot to put the '4' the first time around and had to resort to the numeric keypad to get it back there when running the command again (so watch out not to bork your keyboard when messing with xmodmap).
To figure out the names of the keys, take a look at include/X11/keysymdef.h in your X distribution. Or just use the Tab key if you're a zsh user like me.
I configured my right Alt key (keycode 113) to be "Mode_switch". This is the magic key that allows you to give more than 2 signs to a key. Doing this:
xmodmap -e 'keycode 13 = 4 dollar sterling yen'
I can now type: £ 1.00 = US$ 1.74 = ¥ 203.81 = R$ 3,72. (Actually I don't know whether the UK and Japan use dots or commas.)
I used xmodmap extensively to make an internationalized version of Dvorak for my own use (standard Dvorak + accents on strategic Mode_shift positions). Xmodmap tricks are also great for disabling the Caps Lock key, or to turn it into an extra Control key (one can never have too many of those).
[Ok, and now I promise I'll get back to working on my dissertation proposal!]

By Shuli Ren
Shanghai Stock Exchange Composite Index rose to a three-month high today.
Deutsche Bank economist Jun Ma upgraded China's Q3 and Q4 GDP by 20 basis points each to 7.9% and 8% and raised 2014 growth by 0.1% to 8.6%:
The specific trigger for this upgrade is the August IP data released today.
Today's retail sales and FAI data also exceeded consensus estimates, suggesting that inventory restocking is not the only reason for the on-going recovery. End demand from consumers and investment activities are beginning to support the overall economy.
We see several more fundamental reasons for this recovery to sustain into 2014. First, global demand, especially from G3, is in a recovery mode. Second, we believe that due to the rise in business confidence on the slew of mini stimulus measures, the velocity of money has increased and will likely increase further. Third, the government's fiscal revenue will likely improve as a result of the growth recovery and the rise in PPI inflation.
China had a stable and robust credit growth in August and June's credit crunch is unlikely to repeat at the end of this month. Here is Michael Shaoul of Marketfield Asset Management breaking down the numbers for us:
China's monetary and credit data for August 2013 suggests that the brief period of concerted tightening that took place between May and July may have come to an end, at least for the time-being. Whether this is the result of a deliberate policy unwind, or simply a reflection of how hard it is to kill a credit bubble without resorting to draconian measures is unclear, but the ramifications are that the clock has for the time-being stopped ticking on China's credit crunch.
Total Social (ie aggregate) Financing was 1570 bln CNY in August, well above expectations of 950 bln CNY and July's 808.8 bln CNY. This caused the trailing 12 month ma to tick slightly higher to 1518 bln CNY, reversing the recent sharp decline of this key metric. Perhaps more surprising is the fact that it was "shadow banking" activity which caused the surge. Total Bank Loans actually missed expectations (730 bln) at 711.3 bln, meaning they represented only 45% of total Social Financing, their lowest proportion since April.
Perhaps most importantly Corporate Bond issuance recovered to 122.7 bln, after collapsing in June and July, although this still represents a decline of over 50% from the level of issuance seen in August 2012. Of all the categories in Social Financing this one seems to be the most likely to remain subdued in the months ahead, with important implications for corporate activity.
Thailand's government agreed to double the subsidy to rubber farmers who have been protesting against weak prices. The Stock Exchange of Thailand SET Index gained 1.3%.
Indian rupee's four-day rally since Raghuram Rajan took office last Thursday ended as investors remained concerned over India's growth. The rupee lost 0.8%.
Emerging Markets Stocks in the News:
Apple (AAPL) will sell its new iPhones on China's two smaller mobile carriers China Unicom (CHU) and China Telecom (CHA). iPhone is not on the largest network China Mobile (CHL) yet. But in another sign that it soon will be, Apple just secured the final license necessary to run iPhone on China Mobile.
China may allow Vale SA (VALE)'s mega cargo ships to enter its ports. Vale built those ships to reduce the disadvantage of long-distance shipping from Latin America compared with the Australian operations of rivals BHP Billiton (BHPLF) and Rio Tinto (RIO).

For the first time in several years, I braved a mid-winter trip to turkey camp over the weekend. Some years we have been blocked for three months getting there. Last year it was a snow and ice storm that kept us bottled up from VD until the second weekend in March.
I have to tell you that there is just no better feeling than opening up camp, and finding it for the most part untouched and unchanged. The big treat Sunday night was listening to lots of wing beats as the flock that inhabits the woods behind the house came home to roost and flew up into the trees.
It was all the better when I got suited up two mornings in a row and went out back to sip my coffee and watch the sun come up at my thoughtful spot. Monday morning, the hens made a lot of racket and flew down. Tuesday morning, I was watching deer feeding with my binos when I heard a flock of geese come up Willow Creek and that set off ( Was that really?) a gobbler. I couldn't tell the first time, so I waited for the geese to pass and owled. Sure enough, from far away that gobbler sounded off and did so a couple more times after that.
The flock of hens that lives out behind the woodlot is known as "Blythe's Crew." Blythe was a cranky old hen that had a yelp that sounded like someone had stepped on her neck. I named her for Blythe Danner, the TV actress with the gravely voice from the mid-70's. Blythe spent several seasons out near one of our barns, yelping and yelping and yelping. Blythe's gone now, but her daughters had a huge brood last Spring, and we had poults coming out of our ears last summer. My son harvested his first Fall gobbler from that crew last October.
The flydown on Sunday morning was so long, noisy and protracted, I decided to do a little scouting and slipped into the woods to see what was going on. It turns out Blythe's crew has now split into two flocks over the winter. One roosts on my side of the gully and the other is across the line on my neighbor's property now with about a hundred yards between them. I guess there were so many they could not all fit on one tree anymore.

I haven't had it lately, (thank goodness) but occasionally I would have dreams of being in high school (and lower) and not being able to get all the work done. I think I know why I would get these dreams. I was involved in a school district that wanted the students to be "experts" in all subjects taught. It made it hard to figure out what skills were truly important, because "everything" seemed important. I don't want to offend, or put politics in here, but I'm not a big fan of the way public education is constituted.
I rarely have that dream anymore, though. Whenever I feel like my life is out of control or when I have some big problem going on, I always dream about.....ZOMBIES, (eek!) I know the zombies are coming and I keep trying to lock all the doors and put boards over the windows and stuff, but every time I turn around, the door is hanging open or the boards have fallen off the windows, or something. I keep trying to close everything back up again, but it never stays that way, and eventually the zombies get into the house, and I run upstairs and try to hide from them, but they keep breaking into all my hiding spots. Finally, I'm in the last place I can hide, the attic, and they're slowly breaking through the door. I try to get the little window open so I can escape, but I can't, and it's much too small for me to climb through anyway. In the end, I just turn around and face the door, knowing that it's all over and they're going to get me. Then I wake up. (Fun, huh?)
I had a bizarre dream when I was a kid, one that I'll never forget: Me and my Uncle Bob were in my basement, talking, when he said "Joe, I have something to show you". He opened his fist, and to my horror, showed me a handfull of spiders. He began chasing me around a giant, octopus furnace we had, throwing the spiders at me. Somehow, even though he was behind me, every one he threw landed right in my mouth, and I was spitting out spiders as I ran. It was horrible...
I had this dream that all the sudden, a few people had given me a few cars. I had a Fiat, an MG, a Triumph, and a couple of Volkswagons (all European?). Also, I was being chased around by snakes again. I'm talking A LOT of snakes, and they were fast and smiling and snapping their teeth at me. The odd thing is I have somewhat of a fear of snakes, but when they chase me in my dreams, I'm not afraid of them. I step on them, trick them, last night I grabbed a really big one and slammed it up against a mobile home, then skinned it and cleaned it and put it in a bag with some bell peppers and left them in a friends kitchen as a joke. So anyway, I was cleaning the dust off of the Fiat, which started out orange, then became blue and then green. I took the Triumph out for a ride ( a TR3, love those cars), and found an invitation to some school. Not just any school, but a certain school that they teach people things that they don't want alot of people to know. Privileged information. There was an interesting display of these alien creatures that have been running thing on earth for a number of years (thousands!). The whole thing lost it's credibility when one of the displays I saw while on my way out was the dvd of the Steve Martin movie "The Man With Two Brains". I did have a lot of fun driving around in the cars, even though it was raining while I was driving the Fiat with the top down.

Restaurant review: Mot Hai Ba
For this week's review, I visited Mot Hai Ba, Colleen O'Hare and Jeana Johnson's new Vietnamese restaurant in Old East Dallas — in the former York Street space (that more recently was Bistro Watel's). Have you been? We'd love to hear what you think of the restaurant — and of the review.

The approximately 750 students at Gulf Gate Elementary School joined forces with students all across the country Oct. 6 to "Read for the Record," which emphasizes the importance of reading to young children in families of all income levels.
Having donned her red "jammies" for the occasion, Principal Robin Magac started the event at 8:30 a.m. by reading the children's book, "Llama Llama Red Pajama," by Anna Dewdney. All the students were able to enjoy the experience, thanks to the school's closed-circuit television system.
During the morning telecast, Gulf Gate Elementary's Tiger Town News Crew, made up of fifth-graders, shared with students and staff a video featuring Kathy Wilbanks, who raises llamas at Oak Crest Farms. Wilbanks surprised the students with a visit by two special guests — adult llama Serendipity, a certified pet therapy animal, and 6-month-old Zeus.
"It was such a good time; it was awesome," Magac said of the event. The only problem she encountered was from having to wear those red pajamas all day. "I was comfy," she said, "but I was so hot!"
The annual reading initiative is sponsored by Jumpstart, which was founded in 1993 at Yale University, in partnership with the Pearson Foundation. Read for the Record began in 2006. Jumpstart's goal, according to its website (www.jstart.org), is to help children in low-income neighborhoods get the jumpstart they need in preschool to be successful in life.
Each year since 2006, youngsters at schools nationwide have joined in reading classic children's stories such as "The Little Engine That Could" and "The Story of Ferdinand."
The 2010 campaign involved 2,057,513 children, "creating the largest shared reading experience in history" the Jumpstart website says.
As of Monday, Jumpstart was working on its final tally for the 2011 readers.
