WISCONSIN NEWS ROUNDUP: National report says Wisconsin's voting system is still pretty good
We keep hearing that Wisconsin's voting system is politically-tattered and broken -- but a national report says it's still pretty good. According to the Pew Charitable Trusts, the Badger State had the nation's third-best voting system in the 2012 elections, behind only North Dakota and Minnesota. Wisconsin's new ranking is down one place from 2008, when Pew gave the state's election system an 80-percent voter rating. The new figure is 79-percent. The Badger State was among 40 which improved its operations over the four-year period. The Pew study measured things like voter registration and turnout, waiting times at the polls, and how military ballots are handled. It stayed away from the hot-button topics of voter I-D and reductions in early voting -- both of which majority Republicans in Wisconsin have been pursuing. Wisconsin scored well in most areas -- including online access to information about upcoming elections and where people can vote. Pew also cited Wisconsin's Election Day voter registration -- which at least some majority Republicans say they want to get rid of. State Government Accountability Board director Kevin Kennedy said he was pleased at the new rankings, and the report will help officials improve the system.
Reading and math scores were generally up from a year ago in the statewide achievement tests given to Wisconsin public school students. However, minority students kept lagging behind. Because of that, only 49-percent of students scored in the two highest categories -- proficient and advanced -- in math. Thirty-seven percent were proficient or advanced in reading. Results are being announced today for the final Knowledge and Concepts' Exams that have been given on a yearly basis since 1992. Those tests will be replaced by other yearly exams, and tests that will measure progress much more often during the school year. The exams are aligned with the state's Common Core standards, and Superintendent Tony Evers says they should help close racial-and-ethnic achievement gaps and prepare students better for college and careers. Evers says the achievement gaps are too large. He appointed a task force to examine that problem. The group will hold its first meeting tomorrow. Meanwhile, test results will be released later today for youngsters in tax-funded voucher schools. Also, the Department of Public Instruction plans to release district-by-district test results no later than 9:30 this morning at its Web site.
Authorities now say a former Wisconsin doctor fell to his death in the Colorado mountains, after he got separated from his hiking partners. A county coroner said yesterday that 39-year-old James McGrogan died from head trauma and other injuries. It was ruled an accident. McGrogan was a hospital emergency room physician in Beloit and Stoughton from 2006 until just recently, when he moved to Indiana to work in a hospital E-R in Mishawaka. McGrogan disappeared March 14th, when he drifted away from a group that was hiking to a back-country hut. His party searched for five days, but couldn't find him. Skiers found McGrogan's body last Thursday north of Vail Colorado.
Federal officials say illnesses linked to award-winning Wisconsin cheeses were most likely caused by deficient sanitation in the manufacturing process. The U-S Centers for Disease Control mentioned last summer's listeria outbreak involving Crave Brothers of Waterloo in its weekly Morbidity and Mortality Report. The F-D-A said one person in Minnesota died, and another person had a miscarriage. Five illnesses occurred in four Midwest states but not Wisconsin. The C-D-C said an inspection revealed quote, "substantial sanitation deficiencies during the cheese-making process itself, after the milk was pasteurized." The report said the problems quote, "likely led to contamination." The C-D-C said cheese-making plants should use strict sanitation and micro-biologic monitoring, whether they use pasteurized milk or not. Crave Brothers did not comment. It voluntarily stopped cheese production soon after the illnesses came to light, and recalled three award-winning cheeses that were linked to the listeria outbreak. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel said the company was never fined, and checks of court records did not turn up any lawsuits.
The attorney for state Assembly Republican Bill Kramer of Waukesha says both parties are ignoring his client's legal rights so they can score political points. Yesterday, house Democrats joined Republicans in calling on Kramer to resign now instead of at the end of the year. Four Democrats also accused the G-O-P of not going far enough to discipline its former majority leader. They asked for a special ethics committee which would consider the allegations, and perhaps suggest that Kramer be expelled. Republicans have said they won't try to expel Kramer -- and if the voters want to remove him now, they can seek a quick recall process. Kramer has already said he won't run for re-election in November. His lawyer, James Gatzke, says the two parties should not forget Kramer's constitutional rights to due process. The new charges came after reports that he groped one woman and verbally harassed another on a recent G-O-P fund-raising trip to Washington. Kramer's due in court a week from today in the Muskego incident.
Wisconsin has one flood warning today. The Peshtigo River in Marinette County was about an inch above its banks this morning at Porterfield. The National Weather Service has issued a flood warning until further notice. Officials said the Peshtigo River was slowly rising, and there was no immediate word on when it might crest. Forecasters had feared heavy floods in parts of Wisconsin because of the heavy snow this winter. But with a few exceptions, high water has been held down due to cooler-than-normal temperatures for most of the early spring. The Badger State is seeing a warming trend this week. Today's highs are projected to be in the 40's-and-50's. Tomorrow, it's supposed to be in the 50's-and-60's, and some parts of southwest Wisconsin could hit 70. A slight cool-down is forecast for Thursday and Friday. Our next chance of rain is on Saturday, and it's supposed to get colder on Sunday with highs only in the 30's in some places.
State officials are looking for health care workers who can provide assistance during natural disasters and public health emergencies. This is National Volunteer Week, and the state's health agency is promoting the Wisconsin Emergency Assistance Volunteer Registry. Both present and retired doctors, nurses, E-M-T's, and other health professionals are encouraged to sign up. The volunteers help organize relief efforts for major emergencies throughout Wisconsin. About 14-hundred volunteers are on the 11-year-old state registry. They've helped Wisconsin flood victims -- and when Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast, they provided health screenings for evacuees who made their way to the Badger State. More information is available on the Health Services Department Web site at DHS-Dot-Wisconsin-Dot-Gov.
A city near Wausau has found another victim of the long cold winter. A nearly 70-year-old water tower sprung a leak in Schofield. Public works director Kevin King said it was probably caused by a floating piece of ice inside the 75-thousand gallon tank. Water is now running down the side of the tower, which is 100-feet tall. King says the icy ring is two-feet thick and a couple feet wide. It will have to melt, and then all the water must be drained so the tank can be repaired. That could take a few weeks, and officials are not sure how much it will cost. In the meantime, Schofield is well-served by other water supplies. The city has another tower with a larger capacity of a quarter-million gallons. It also has an underground water tank.

Thought Bubble #4: What 'Age' Of Comics Is This?
The comics medium attempts to answer a lot of big questions: What makes someone truly evil? What's wrong with childlike wonder? How, father? How do I do it? What do I use…to make them afraid? In that spirit, ComicsAlliance's Matt Wilson is asking comics creators, retailers and commentators some big questions of his own.
In this installment, comics researchers and scholars Douglas Wolk, Ken Quattro, Derek Royal, Andrew Kunka and Charles Hatfield and answer the question: If we've seen the Golden Age, the Silver Age, and the Bronze Age, then what would you call the current "age" of comics?After the Golden (the mid-to-late 1930s through around 1950) and Silver (the mid-1950s through around 1970) ages, general consensus on which age is which pretty well breaks down. Many say the Bronze Age runs through the 1970s up through the mid-'80s, but even when that ended is up for debate. Some call the age right after that The Dark Age, while others call it The Copper Age. Some call the mid-to-late 1990s the Image Age or the Chromium Age. I've heard the current age called The Second Golden Age, The Prismatic Age, and The Second Dark Age.
It's a moving target, but I tried to get the best handle on it I could by asking a few comics historians and scholars to weigh in, not only with their best guess as to the current age of comics, but to also throw in their two cents regarding what purpose having ages serves for fans, retailers and researchers.
Douglas Wolk (Author of Reading Comics):
I like the idea that the lower-case "golden age" of comics is now, and I think there's still every reason to think it's true — maybe especially since one of the big problems that's always faced comics readers is availability, and now nearly every comic ever printed is at least sort of available to anyone on the fortunate side of the digital divide, and most of the best older ones are appearing in more durable physical forms, too. Even in terms of new material that's available every week, there are more things that anyone who's interested in almost any aspect of the medium is going to want to read than there have ever been before. I can't even keep up with everything I'm pretty sure I'm going to enjoy, which surprisingly turns out to be a great feeling. This is a season that's giving us Building Stories and Casanova: Avaritia and Bandette and The Zaucer of Zilk and Journey Into Mystery and The Making Of and Diesel Sweeties 3000 and Snarked!, just off the top of my head, a couple of which are appearing in forms that wouldn't even have been possible a few years ago.
That said, I don't think it's necessarily fair to the present moment to draw a border around it. Unless there's a particular style or ideology going around, and I don't know of a particularly big and exciting emerging one in comics right now, it's much easier to understand what's happening in a particular moment of an art form from a distance. The moment you put a name on the aesthetic of a time and place, you give smart artists something to rebel against, and less smart artists something to ape ineptly. We'll figure out what age we're in once we're out of it.
Ken Quattro (Of The Comics Detective blog and Comicartville, where he re-examined comics ages):
Being perfectly honest, I no longer follow today's version of comic books. I began to lose interest in the mid-'90s when the "grim and gritty" comics came to dominate and the heroes I grew up with became passé. That said, I'd offer that we are seeing the Boutique Comics Era, a time of specialized interests rather than one predominate genre such as superheroes. Then again, we are likely experiencing the fading of print comics and the advent of e-comic books. The print books are not long for this Earth and if comics are to survive, it will only be in this form.
[Having ages is useful because] it provides structure; a framework that divides comic book history into understandable chunks that can be defined by any criteria the user devises. I use editorial content to describe my "ages." Others use price changes or metallic contrivances to define theirs. I'll leave it to future historians to decide upon the definitive eras. I'm content with mine.
Derek Royal (English instructor at Southern Methodist University and co-host of The Comics Alternative podcast):
I don't really feel the need to define or "finger" the current moment in comics history, that is, outside of just calling where we are right now "contemporary," which, I'm aware, is not very descriptive at all and rather ambiguous outside of the temporal implications. I have no problem with earlier designations such as "gold," "silver," etc., but I think of them as very loose groupings with no distinct boundaries. As you know, there is some debate as to which era ended and which began, so in that sense such temporal or historical naming doesn't serve us completely. Still, there is a need for "historical groupings" that provides us with a sense of evolution and development in the medium. If I can bring in my disciplinary background for a moment, the "comics age" question is akin to what we do in literary studies regarding periodicity. For example, where does "romanticism" or "modernism" begin, how does the answer differ depending on what cultural/national contexts you consider, how much of it depends on the most popular or the most canonical authors, etc.? In fact, discussions of how to define the current literary moment — is it something like post-postmodern, should we call it postcolonial, a new realism? — have similar problems. It depends on what texts or authors you look at, what genres, and such. In many ways, it's impossible to define the current moment when you're standing in the middle of it. Give it a good 50 years, and then see what folks are saying.
There are some in comics studies who want to chunk the entire gold/silver/bronze stuff entirely. If you check out [Randy] Duncan and [Matthew J.] Smith's The Power of Comics, you'll see that they are of this mind and have come up with their own historical markers. I'm not sure if this is any more useful than traditional and fan-based designation, but I mention this as one alternative to the golden age, etc.
Personally, I'm okay with being ambiguous and uncertain about the current moment in comics. I just want to enjoy it, experience it in its many and diverse forms, and just get a feel for all of the great stuff out there. I really don't think we gain much by forcing a name or specific characteristic onto the medium as we are experiencing it now. We also have to keep in mind that what one person might be perceiving primarily through the superhero genre may be vastly different from what a comics reader perceiving things primarily through autobiographic or memoir comics (which are mostly the "rage" in academia) or through crime/noir comics or purely through the prism of independent/alternative comics.
Andrew Kunka (Professor of English at The University of South Carolina Sumter, the other co-host of The Comics Alternative podcast):
If you are looking for a "scholarly" perspective, my first impulse would be to problematize the concept of "ages" in comics. That is, the concept has only limited scholarly/historical relevance, as it requires significant qualification in terms of limitations and exceptions. The separation of a Golden Age from a Silver Age in comics was originally performed by fans, collectors, and dealers, partially out of nostalgia but also out of a practical desire to define the market for back issues. However, even in that context, the Golden and Silver ages only really define most superhero comics from those historical periods. For example, humor comics, especially funny animals, remain unaffected by any changes that take place in the superhero genre from the late 1950s to early 1960s, and it would be difficult to define cartoonists like Carl Barks or John Stanley as Golden or Silver Age creators.
That being said, the comics fan in me still finds the idea of defining ages of superhero comics — or "Heroic Ages," as Gerard Jones and Will Jacobs call them in The Comic Book Heroes — compelling, especially as a means of identifying major trends that are influencing comics creators and fans at a given moment. And by "major trends" I mean that not everything in superhero comics today will neatly fit into any definition of the current age. Also, it can be a fun mental game to play.
Therefore, with all that qualification in mind, I find the concept that defines the current age — the post-Dark, post-Image, post-Chromatic, post-whatever age — best for me is the "Prismatic Age," which was originally identified on the excellent Mindless Ones blog and also discussed by Grant Morrison in Supergods. In sum, the Prismatic Age is defined by a series of reflections and a proliferation of different versions of the same concept, often as a nostalgic look back a the past rather than a revision or dismantling of accepted superhero tropes.
After the master superhero narratives were dismantled by Alan Moore, Grant Morrison, Warren Ellis, Mark Millar, Joe Casey, etc., what was left for comics creators was an often nostalgic reflection on the past. For fans, this reflection often manifested itself in a conservative desire for the familiar; hence, the popularity of big events that are reflections of past events, and lead themselves into the next event, and so on, endlessly. In addition, corporate brand and IP protection encouraged repetition, stability, and "consequencelessness."
But if this is the Prismatic Age, we are probably at the tail end of it. DC's New 52, for the most part, seems to be the resulting consequence of reflection upon reflection upon reflection. It's a reboot, yet one which still requires some knowledge of the past comics being reflected. The new Earth 2 may be the ultimate example of the consequences of endless reflection: the new Jay Garrick, Alan Scott, Al Pratt, et al, are not so much reflections of their Golden Age selves but are instead reflections of the current incarnations of those given heroes, who, on their world, take the place of reflections of Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman. In other words, the reflections have come full circle. This latter point is what makes the Mindless Ones' concept so compelling: "Botswana Beast" wrote the post in 2008, but it has borne itself out in the years following. And if we are at the end of the Prismatic Age, then something, perhaps tied to digital distribution and the tablet format, is currently slouching toward Bethlehem to be born.
Charles Hatfield (Associate professor of English at California State University Northridge, author of Hand of Fire: The Comics Art of Jack Kirby):
To be honest, this is a bit of a vexed question for me. In Hand of Fire, I did use the terms Golden and Silver Age. Frankly, I found it difficult not to use them, even though I really did try not to. I realized I had to use those terms from time to time, because, one, they are familiar canonical terms among collectors of periodical US comic books, particularly superhero fans. Two, I was writing a book that, as it turned out, had a lot more to say about superheroes than I had anticipated. So I had to have recourse to the terms that fans and collectors use.
The Golden and Silver Ages are important signposts for superhero fandom, and the distinction between the Golden and Silver Age is clear enough as long as the context of discussion is periodical superhero comic books. But the problem I have with these terms — and I really do believe it is a problem — is laid out well by Ben Woo in his essay "An Age-Old Problem: Problematics of Comic Book History." Ben's argument lays out several difficulties with the age concept. In my mind, the principle difficulties are two:
First, the ages concept is too superhero-centered to accurately cover the entirety of comic book history. Recall that the ages were defined by superhero collectors and fans. In fact the Golden Age was defined retrospectively during the Silver; the concept of the Golden makes no sense without the Silver. The revival of superhero properties by DC after 1956 and Marvel after 1961 was encouraged by the rise of a self-conscious superhero comics fandom centered around nostalgia and collecting. Bill Schelly's book The Golden Age of Comic Fandom is useful here, as is Matt Pustz's Comic Book Culture. Those fans egged on the editors at DC and Marvel, spurring the superhero revival, and it was those fans who established the Golden and Silver Ages as common terms. To these fans, the superhero was the basic measure of comic books — the one native and crucially important genre in the medium's history. But I don't agree with that. The superhero was actually dormant, nearly a dead genre, in the late 1940s and early 1950s — when the overall sales of comic books were at their peak!
Throughout the postwar years, and certainly from about 1947 to 1948, all the way up to the early '60s at least, the superhero was not the dominant genre. So many other genres–funny animal and children's humor, Archie-style "teen" humor, romance, satire, the western, war comics, horror and crime comics, jungle comics, literary adaptations, etc.–helped to grow the comic book industry and account for much of what is interesting about its history. A superhero-based ages system is inadequate for addressing those complexities. For example, if we say that the Golden Age started with Superman and then persisted into the late '40s or even into the 50s, we are eliding the crucial differences in the market between, say, 1940 and 1950. The age concept applies only to superheroes, and even then is problematic because it does not acknowledge the way other genres influenced the superhero, e.g., the way romance comics influenced the Marvel superheros of the '60s.
Second, I don't think it's sensible to insist that an age begins with a specific publication, even if superheroes are one's main focus. For instance, if we insist that the Silver Age began in 1956 with DC's Showcase #4, reintroducing the Flash, then we have to ignore or downplay the Martian Manhunter's debut in 1955, or Atlas's revival of the Timely superheroes a bit earlier. It takes trends and systemic changes to really mark out a new era. One comic book, however successful or however significant in hindsight, cannot launch an age. If we must periodize comic book history, then we should do so based on economic and publishing history rather than the appearance of particular characters or titles or the supposed changes in tone or spirit that come with a new age.
Events such as the creation of the CMAA [Comics Magazine Association of America] and the imposition of the Comics Code, the advent of direct market distribution circa 1973, the monopolistic narrowing of the direct market in the mid-9'0s, or the more recent consolidation of Marvel and DC with larger corporate entities are much more important boundary markers, in my opinion, than the appearance of a single title or character or genre. So, I'm against perpetuating the ages system in general. And even though I've used the Golden and Silver Age terms when studying Kirby and superhero comics, I don't use, cannot bring myself to use, other terms like Bronze Age, Modern Age, Prismatic Age, etc. I see no use in those terms, and I don't think they've inspired the same degree of consensus as Golden and Silver. "Bronze" is widely accepted, maybe, but it doesn't work for me.
If we had to give a name to the current period in floppy comic books, I'd say call it the Mega-Corporate Age, but even that would be useful only in a very limited sense, because it would only apply to direct market and downloadable DC and Marvel and their nearest competitors, whereas much of what is interesting artistically about comic book culture has in fact migrated out of periodical comic books altogether, into graphic novels, Webcomics, minicomics, and other channels. One has to be very precise about periodization, and acknowledge that it only works in particular contexts. The context in which terms like Prismatic Age or Dark Age would work doesn't really interest me, and I think future historians, with the benefit of hindsight, will be looking elsewhere.
Thanks to everyone for their thoughtful contributions. And now we put the same question to ComicsAlliance readers: what 'age' of comics is this?

Ninnaji Temple is one of Kyoto's great religious sites.
Located in western Kyoto, the temple was first a summer home for the imperial family. Every summer, the Emperor, his family and retainers, would decamp from the Imperial Palace and spend summers in a slightly cooler part of Kyoto to avoid pestilence.
In 886 C.E., however, Emperor Koko ordered the construction of a temple on these grounds. He died prior to its completion.
His successor, Emperor Uda, witnessed the completion of the temple in 888, and named it "Ninna" temple. From 888 until 1869 Emperors sent a son to act as head priest.
During the disastrous Onin War, in 1467, Ninnaji was destroyed by fire and fighting.
It took some 150 year to rebuild the temple. Most of the buildings today date from the 17th century.
The entrance of the temple is a massive "mon," or gate. It is protected on two sides by wooden sculptures known as "nio-san."
These are large fearsome deities that greet - and warn - all visitors.

Talent of all ages showcased at East Falls library concert
The quiet hush of the Falls of Schuylkill Library was replaced on Monday night with the sounds of music, applause, chatter and laughter.
Following the annual Friends of the Falls of Schuylkill Library meeting, the group hosted a concert for the East Falls neighborhood to showcase local performers of all ages.
Brooklyn, the head Diva Doll for the young musicians group Diva Dollz, kicked off the night with a rendition of "Wonderful Woman," a song about mothers. The group, directed by Dianna Coleman, consists of kids between the ages of 3 and 17. Coleman says the group sings and raps "clean, age-appropriate lyrics about both serious and light issues."
The Wendellas, a group of seven singers led by East Falls resident Wendy Moody on the piano, also took to the stage to sing a variety of show tunes written by Johnny Mercer, including "Something's Gotta Give" and "Moon River".
Wendella performer Linda Duttera said she appreciated the diversity in the night's lineup.
"Everybody is local so its really nice to see local talent," she said.
A string performance was put on by Dante DeStefano, an eighth-grader at The Waldorf School, on the classical bass and Lansdowne Symphony violinist Darrin McBride. Both performers were accompanied by Caroline Davidson on the piano.
Frank Kaderabek, former principal trumpet for the Philadelphia Orchestra, also performed.
Hank Harrison said this was the first community concert he had attended at the Falls of Schuylkill library branch.
"I thought it was a terrific concert," Harrison said. "And I greatly enjoyed the variety of music and entertainment."
After the concert, attendees gathered around the homemade refreshments to eat, laugh and catch up with their neighbors.
Hope Janelle Berninghausen is a Temple University student. This piece was produced for Philadelphia Neighborhoods in collaboration with WHYY/NewsWorks.

Sounds Of Success may have played the background in terms of record sales. Yet, as the old adage dictates, chart performance and enjoyable music don't always go hand in hand. "Weekend Girl" from Just The Way You Like It is a testament to the aforementioned statement. Legendary production duo Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis hooked the band up properly on the group's landmark slow jam. Plus, this song is easily one of the best songs in the group's and tandem's respective discographies.
"Weekend Girl's" deep bass line, drums and iconic chords are products of the '80s much like TSS's reader base. Yet, if you're not familiar with the record, check the song out and thank the Internet and the S.O.S. Band for six minutes of audio delight. Just don't make the mistake of singing along if you can't hold a tune. The song's got that kind of hook to it.

NEW YORK — The Mets have agreed in principle to make Sandy Alderson their new general manager, MLB.com reported Wednesday.
Alderson will be introduced Friday during a news conference at Citi Field, according to the website.
Contacted by the Associated Press, Mets spokesman Jay Horwitz said he had no new information to provide. Messages left for chief operating officer Jeff Wilpon were not immediately returned.
Alderson, former president of the Athletics and chief executive officer of the Padres, met Tuesday with Mets controlling owner Fred Wilpon, his son Jeff and club president Saul Katz.
Alderson and former Diamondbacks general manager Josh Byrnes were brought back for a second round of interviews this week as the two finalists to replace Omar Minaya, fired along with manager Jerry Manuel after the team's second straight losing season.
The club has said its new GM will lead the search for the next Mets manager.
Alderson, 62, is currently MLB's consultant for its interests in the Dominican Republic, helping to combat age falsification and the use of performance-enhancing drugs. He has been considered the front-runner for the Mets job since commissioner Bud Selig granted him permission to interview this month.
UECKER HEALING: Brewers broadcaster Bob Uecker left a Milwaukee hospital eight days after his second heart surgery this year. Uecker, 75, said in a statement released by the team that he's thankful to the doctors and staff at the hospital for his care and is encouraged to be going home.
BLUE JAYS: The team exercised its $1.2 million option for C Jose Molina.
PHILLIES: 3B Placido Polanco is scheduled to have surgery Friday to have bone fragments removed from his left elbow and is expected to be ready for spring training.
YANKEES: LHP CC Sabathia is set to have arthroscopic surgery Friday to repair a small meniscus tear in his right knee. … The club declined 2011 options on 1B/DH Lance Berkman, RH reliever Kerry Wood and oft-injured 1B Nick Johnson and exercised its option on RHP prospect Andrew Brackman.

The Akilla® Sleep Safety Educational Campaign is being structured to build a solid platform for promoting sleep safety education throughout New Zealand so that New Zealanders become aware of sleep safety information that they can use. Akilla® is about saving lives and educating New Zealanders on drowsy-driving to prevent crashes. To prevent drowsy-driving and its tragic consequences, New Zealanders need information on risk reduction strategies
Drowsy driving is the silent hidden killer that haunts the roads. It could be your life or someone close to you that's cut short or ruined by drowsy driving, if you or a fellow traveller falls asleep at the wheel or just aren't fully awake while driving.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) (U.S.) conservatively estimates that 100,000 police reported crashes are the direct result of drowsy driving each year. The Virginia Tech Transportation Institute study that they sponsored found that Driver Drowsiness was a contributing factor in 20% of all crashes.
The Auckland Car Crash Study on drowsy driving crashes was undertaken by the Faculty of Medicine & Health Science and the University of Auckland. This in-depth study involved interviewing Auckland Hospital patients and it was found that 19% of crashes involving hospitalization or death of a car occupant could be attributed to driver sleepiness, and specifically to driving while deprived of sleep, driving while feeling sleepy or driving between 2am and 5am'.
Driver Fatigue Kills more than drink
'If you think drink driving is the biggest killer on our roads, think again. New research shows that obstinate drivers' refusal to acknowledge fatigue now poses a greater threat'
Please view the interesting video
Reproduced courtesy of the "Sydney Morning Herald"
This is the official website for the AKILLA® Sleep Safety Educational Campaign and is an educational resource for any driver who wants to learn about drowsy driving.
The DVD is well made and has good personal stories to create awareness of the dangers of driver fatigue backed up with appropriate key messages to prevent it.
I think that the DVD is excellent, professional and covers all of the messaging in a factual and convincing way.
Thank you for this book. It is an excellent publication in every respect.
Thank you for writing "Akilla",-a drowsy driving handbook.It's very interesting and I am sure my family (of drivers) will be interested in it and carrying out the instructions.
Congratulations on 'Akilla In the blink of an eye'. It is very clearly (and uncompromisingly) presented and will certainly be a useful contribution to road safety initiatives.
I have just found the time to flick through "In the blink of an eye" and I think it makes interesting reading. There is certainly a lot there for drivers to absorb but there is a strong culture to overcome.
I think that this is an excellent book which will make a major contribution to the road safety effort in New Zealand.

I like Emily for the most part although she is an extremly troubled character but today having Lily call her a w***e was actually quite funny. I'm glad Emily didn't cower by being called a name rather it seemed to make her stronger when standing her ground.

Never attracted to the dozen or so "Star Trek" television shows and about equal number of films with original TV cast members, I would never be mistaken for a Trekkie.
Until George Lucas mucked up his franchise with inane "prequels" of increasingly dubious merit, "Star Wars" was terrific, namely for interesting characters, good humor and exciting action.
On the other hand, the original "Star Trek," at least to my untrained eye, appeared more cerebral and weighed down by too much mystical philosophy. That's not a bad thing, but the action was usually paced by gradualism.
As unlikely as it is that I would ever become a Trekkie, I have been won over by director J.J. Abrams' new vision of a rebooted "Star Trek" pulsating with high-octane action and plenty of humor.
"Star Trek Into Darkness" even improves upon Abrams' maiden voyage with the 2009 "Star Trek," which introduced the young generation of Starfleet leaders, including the brash James T. Kirk (Chris Pine) trying to live up to his father's legacy.
The action picks up soon after where things left off four years ago. Captain Kirk's command of the USS Enterprise is tested when he and his crew attempt to save a primitive society from a volcano poised to erupt.
Spock (Zachary Quinto), the half-human, half-Vulcan first officer trapped in harm's way on the volcano's edge, is rescued by Captain Kirk in direct violation of a prime directive from the Federation.
Returning his ship safely to Earth, Kirk is demoted to First Officer by Admiral Pike (Bruce Greenwood). We know from the first film that the swaggering Kirk is impulsive and willing to bend the rules, and here he is no different.
While punished for insubordination and writing false reports, Kirk is soon pressed back into service when a terrorist attack destroys the Federation underground headquarters in 23rd Century London.
On top of that, rogue Starfleet officer John Harrison (Benedict Cumberbatch) also conducts an above-ground aerial assault on a Federation conclave, killing some key members and thus necessitating Kirk's return to command of the Enterprise.
The motivations of the dastardly terrorist are not immediately known, though later revelations prove that he's a recognizable foe with an agenda more fully explained by mysterious torpedo tubes placed aboard the Enterprise.
On a mission to exterminate Harrison with extreme prejudice, the Enterprise is sent to the planet Kronos by a belligerent Admiral Marcus (Peter Weller) to seek the hiding place of the renegade.
Capturing Harrison is fraught with great risk and danger, since Kronos is an outpost for the hostile Klingons, who view any incursion on their planet as an act of war.
Turning the Enterprise into a warship creates onboard conflicts between Kirk and Spock, as they argue over the moral issues of an order to assassinate Harrison rather than to bring him back to stand trial.
As unlikely as it may seem, Spock, the pensive, logical Vulcan who can never tell a lie, is in the middle of a rocky romantic entanglement with Zoe Saldana's tough-minded, yet sexy Uhura.
The Enterprise is populated with other familiar, lovable characters, from Simon Pegg's funny and frantic Scotty to Karl Urban's sardonic yet urgently attentive medical officer Bones. As expected, John Cho's Sulu is aloof and confident at the controls, while Anton Yeltsin plays Chekov with youthful, untested resolve.
New to the Enterprise crew is a stowaway, the uninvited science officer Carol Marcus (Alice Eve) with suspect motives, an attractive blonde who most certainly will get Kirk's attention. Creating some wariness for the crew is the fact that she's the daughter of Admiral Marcus.
The action sequences in "Star Trek Into Darkness" are cranked up to an impressive magnitude, from the violent confrontation with the Klingons to an intergalactic battle in space that nearly destroys the Enterprise, causing Kirk to improvise to bring the ship back to San Francisco.
The return to the City by the Bay results in a massive amount of destruction to the skyscraper buildings, resulting in a stunningly visual representation of wholesale destruction of property and human lives.
Though this may be presumptuous on my part, I feel there are many segments of this film that evoke memories of the past, perhaps to breed familiarity or to render homage. Some may point to the need to revisit some of the early "Star Trek" films.
Whatever the case may be, the thrilling "Star Trek Into Darkness" delivers genuine excitement that allows this venerable franchise to continue to go boldly forward and to live long and prosper.
I hope the hardcore "Star Trek" fans may find this new direction appealing, but I do not feel qualified to speak for that constituency.

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — On the outside, Tom Bradley looked lost. He was trying to find his way around the Puskar Center, his new football home at West Virginia University after 37 seasons at Penn State and then two years in the media.
He was wandering without direction until he'd stop to ask someone for some help.
Even that didn't work.
"I was always going the wrong way," Bradley said.
On the inside, though, the longtime assistant coach for the Nittany Lions and now the senior associate head coach with the Mountaineers was relieved. He knew he was being welcomed into a new football family.
"The players were playing games with me and sending me the wrong way," he said. "Now I'm onto them and what they're doing."
Fake help was still help because this has not been easy for Bradley, and won't pretend it didn't challenge his emotions or test what he'd come to know in his college football life spent exclusively at Penn State.
He played defensive back and special teams from 1975-78 for Joe Paterno. He worked first as a graduate assistant before his first full season as an assistant coach with the special teams in 1980. Bradley would eventually coach running backs, receivers, defensive backs and, most famously, linebackers at Linebacker U. He was put in charge of recruiting and then the defense and he coached 18 All-Americans, 43 all-conference players and 51 professionals.
It all came to an end with Jerry Sandusky's child sex abuse scandal that devoured the Penn State program in 2011. Paterno was fired after nine games and Bradley was the interim head coach the final three games of the regular season and then the bowl game. He resigned when the university hired Bill O'Brien as the new head coach.
It was difficult to accept for a man who not only identified with the program for so long, but who had become part of the identity of the program. Bradley dealt with it by knowing he had no other option.
"There were a lot of things obviously said over the years about being the next head coach," said Bradley, who is WVU's defensive line coach. "It didn't work out. From there, you can't worry about it. You've just got to work on trying to do whatever is in front of you the best you can. You can't look back on it."
Bradley spent the next two seasons watching, the first fall he hadn't played or coached the college game since 1974. There was no college job for the man who won national awards for being a top assistant coach and defensive coordinator, who recruited the fertile Western Pennsylvania area, who had been considered for a variety of head coaching jobs through the years, reportedly including Temple and Pitt in 2011.
Bradley in plain clothes then was as odd a sight as Bradley in gold and blue today, but the implication was clear. He was Penn State, and given the scope and the details of the scandal that took down a football empire and saddled it with heavy sanctions, it was easier to stay away from Bradley than to bring him on and defend the decision.
Never mind his name never appeared in the Freeh Report, the thorough investigation of the scandal that ultimately agreed Paterno and others tried to hide Sandusky's crimes from the university and from law enforcement.
"I think there could be perceptions out there, but it's something you just have to deal with, however you want to call it — guilt by association or whatever," Bradley said. "I've always said, 'Let the legal system take course. Let those guys work it through.'"
Bradley dealt with it by starting anew. He launched a website and started his Twitter account and soon found himself back in the game, but in a new arena. He was first hired as an analyst for the Pittsburgh Steelers radio broadcasts and Clear Channel Radio. Steelers coach Mike Tomlin welcomed Bradley to practices and Bradley would slide into deep defensive dialogues with Hall of Fame defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau.
"That," Bradley said, "was a blessing."
Bradley added to his calendar last year when he joined the CBS Sports Network as a game analyst.
"I got to go around to all the different colleges when I did the CBS thing and got a chance to watch other programs," he said. "What's funny is when you do television, coaches, they give you everything. They all want to sound smart. You go visit them normally and they don't tell you anything. On television, they tell you everything. I was able to pick their brains. I'd never had an opportunity to do that and to get some different ideas."
In many ways, it was what Bradley needed. He not only stayed close to the sport and kept familiar with the speed with which it changes, but his eyes and mind were opened to new ways to play the old game. He'd need that at his next stop, the one he figured would eventually arrive, and he's made use of the experience at WVU. He's becoming reacquainted with his old life and getting to know the way defensive coordinator Tony Gibson coaches defense.
"This is different," Bradley said. "As I've told people, I'm not used to bringing a practice schedule in my pocket all the time. I never had to do that before. I kind of knew it. The playbook, the words are new, everything is new in that regard. I never had to worry about that because the playbook was my stuff. It was in my head. I didn't have to really look at it ever. It was all there. Now it's different. Different words mean different things. I think the hardest part is the associations with certain things I called one thing and we call it something else here. But I'll get it figured out."

Sorry to say we've found a few errors in the chart for Growth Rings
Just a note - my little engineer's brain can't help it. I rarely do anything unsymmetrical on purpose. Matching parts should all match. Both sides (or all four sides) of a design should be the same. If you see an irregularity in the pattern, it is most likely not intended, but since we all use human hands, it sometimes does happen.
These have turned up so far. I am referencing everything off the orientation of the chart graph. (The photo shows the stitched model rotated by 90 degrees.)
These are all only a stitch or two extra or short, but I'm trying to show enough context that you can see it, but not give the chart away ;o)
Updates as of 8 April - I've put them all on a single page with reference arrows so you can more easily see where the parts belong.

Modified Mustangs & FordsHow To Engine
EFI Stroker & Lentech AOD Installation
Injecting Modern Performance Into Our 1967 Fairlane Project
Step By StepView Photo Gallery
If you've been following our '67 Fairlane project, you know we've been working on a fantastic drivetrain for the car. In a recent installment, we detailed the Coast High Performance 331ci stroker, an engine that features a forged-steel crank and Trick Flow Specialties' Twisted Wedge aluminum cylinder heads with 2.02-inch intake valves and 1.60 exhaust. Finally, the long block was topped off with the new Trick Flow upper and lower EFI intake manifolds. With a compression ratio of 10:1, along with a .500-inch lift cam and great induction, we're expecting around 350 hp at the flywheel.
Check out the buildup of our Lentech AOD four-speed automatic overdrive transmission . Lentech offers four versions of the AOD, but we chose the Street Terminator Lock Up unit because it will handle far more power than a stock AOD and still lock up in Overdrive for great freeway performance. You also might want to take a detailed look at the latest in rearend axle technology from Currie Enterprises . For our Fairlane, we'll be using the stout 9-inch featured in this article.
There's no argument that we have the finest available technology for our '67 Fairlane. Now we'll look to Windsor-Fox Performance Engineering to put it all together in expert fashion. We're into uncharted waters here, at least for us, because we've never attempted to put a fuel-injected stroker or an AOD into a '67 Fairlane. Once the main components are correctly situated, wiring and other engine systems can be approached in the standard fashion. When technical snags arise, as they inevitably will, it's good to know we have the Ford powertrain conversion experts from Windsor-Fox at our side.

Kudos to the Sheraton Denver Downtown Hotel's catering manager, Ashley Woodworth, and her team. They recently received glowing accolades from Stephanie Hector, event planner at Desire2Learn, who hosted a conference for 180 people at our property the other week. An excerpt from her note follows below.
Thanks Ashley and team for making the Sheraton Denver Downtown Hotel look good! Keep up the great work!
"Ashley is exceptional beyond words! She was under the weather but it didn't affect her professionalism, prompt response time and overall ability to get the job done. She communicated my expectations and requirements for the day to her team without fault. Everyone on the team was attentive, detailed and responsive - I have never seen such a well-run team before. At no point did anyone seem frazzled or stressed, and their confidence and professionalism was outstanding. Abdul and his staff in the kitchen were amazing - they had everything looking, smelling and most importantly tasting incredible. I have never had clients walk up to me and comment mid-day about the "incredible spread!" Ashley also offered to help me with additional SPG event planning going forward, which is beyond remarkable. She deserves to be recognized as an employee that exceeds the SPG standard."

I learned an important lesson from the movie A Christmas Story: Don't lick metal in winter. That didn't stop me, of course, from licking my finger and pressing it to a metal pole in sub-zero temperatures to see if it would stick. It did, and boy was I glad I had conducted my experiment with a digit instead of my tongue. All the cold weather and snow we've had recently reminded me of that trial, and also got me wondering: Will birds stick to metal feeder parts during subfreezing temperatures? World-renowned ornithologist Steve Kress has the answer.
"Our fingers may stick to metal ice cube trays because moisture freezes on contact with frigid metal," explains Kress. "However, a bird's feet are covered with dry scales, so there is no surface moisture to freeze to metal perches. Eyes, tongues, and beaks are usually safe from exposure to metal feeder parts. Rapid reflexes prevent the eye from coming in contact with foreign surfaces, and the beak is protected by a horny, dry surface."? [From Audubon magazine]

Sang Lucci Pre-Market Update January 3rd
Markets are pretty choppy this morning but the futures have moved due to economic reports concerning the jobs picture. ADP Employment came in way better than expected with many private sector jobs added for the month of December. Initial Jobless Claims, however, came in worse than expected, climbing to 372K versus an expected 360K.
The SPY is still wafting under $146 after the fiscal cliff gap up yesterday as investors continue to digest the new tax bracket for those making over $450K/year. Most folks do think we push to the 52 week highs hit after QE3 was announced back in mid-September around $148 on the SPY.
Priceline (PCLN) got an upgrade from Bank of America this morning with a price target increase to $770. The stock is gapping up about 14 points and that's after another gap up yesterday off the fiscal cliff news.
Premarkets today are filled with red though, but no cause for concern quite yet as the gap downs are not extensive by any means. The key today will be watching the indexes to see if a big move is possible or if it will be just choppy action.

We have been fortunate to secure some of the mobile industry's top tech professionals as educational leaders of our annual conference, said M3 Conference President Tim Hibner. This will truly be a must-attend event for the mobile technology community.
In addition to the keynotes, representatives from Nationwide Insurance, NetJets, eBay and The Ohio State University will participate in informational tracks including mobile UX/UI design, mobile web, mobile marketing, mobile business strategy and mobile native app development.

One of the oft-stated consumer worries post-Katrina—besides the trepidation of a regional shortage in poor, underserved New Orleanians to clean up the beads and offal of exploded Mardi Gras tourists—was a fear that coffee prices would spike. A large portion of our coffee enters the country through New Orleans, which is why companies like Folgers put over half of their coffee production plants in the city.

We have covered Martin Hsu's first vinyl figure, Dragon Boy, on its merry road from prototype to first finished sculpt to scaly, underpants-wearing reality. After following such a colorful saga, who wouldn't be excited for the chance to pre-order him? From noon Pacific on July 3 to the same time on July 4, you can pre-order the limited edition OG colorway Dragon Boy online from Martin's store. If you purchase him via this method on the pre-order date, you will also receive a small original Dragon Boy painting, signed by Martin. Why did I say "this method?" Because you can also purchase him at Martin's booth at San Diego Comic Con (#5015). However, only 50 of the 300 pieces will be at the con.
Dragon Boy isn't just a very handsome 7 and a half inch tall figure. He also features articulation in his hands, arms, and head. He costs US$85 dollars and is released on July 23.
Any of you planning on picking up this figure at the pre-sale or SDCC?

Let's get proportional
So iiNet had the termination policy in place that the law required, but a second question concerned with iiNet was itself the "means" of infringement. The judge, apparently overcome with common sense, recognized the obvious reality: the "means" of infringement in this case was BitTorrent, and the end users were responsible for it. "iiNet has no control over the BitTorrent system and is not responsible for the operation of the BitTorrent system."
Under Australian law, the judge accepted that "making available" was an infringement of copyright, but he noted that movie studios were pushing the principle to its breaking point.
The judge then made a statement worth reading by anyone who backs three strikes regimes without judicial oversight. "It is highly problematic to conclude that such issues ought to be decided by a party, such as the respondent, rather than a court. Copyright infringement is not a simple issue."
Even if iiNet had taken on the responsibility of becoming a copyright judge over its own subscribers, would AFACT's proposed penalties have been fair? Again, the judge could hardly be more clear that the world envisioned by most three strikes advocates is profoundly inequitable.
"Obviously termination of the subscriber accounts would constitute a step that would prevent the person or persons from infringing (at least with that ISP), but it would also prevent that person or persons from using the internet for all the non-infringing uses to which the internet may be put... It would seem that termination of accounts in the circumstances of unproven and sporadic use, at least absent judicial consideration of the extent of the infringement on each account, would be unreasonable... While termination of accounts would stop the infringement, it would do much more and in the circumstances it would not be reasonable."
In other words, to be fair, a judge would need to examine the particularities of each case and decide whether a user's infringement was an overwhelming part of his online activities. If it was, then fine; disconnection may be warranted. In other cases, though, it is simply disproportionate to the offense. The judge noted that, in the user accounts he examined, even those belonging to repeat infringers, "copyright infringement is not a primary or even significant usage of quota on those accounts."
Making available
Finally, the judge addressed a key worldwide issue in copyright law, the "making available" doctrine. The idea here is that simply making a file available on a P2P network is itself infringement, even if no one downloaded the file. Under Australian law, the judge accepted that "making available" was an infringement of copyright, but he noted that movie studios were pushing the principle to its breaking point.
"The applicants claim that a new 'make available online' infringement occurs each time an iiNet user is disconnected and reconnected to the internet," he noted. "Further, the applicants submit that even if this not be the case, there must be a temporal aspect to the 'making available online' act such that infringements over a long period of time could constitute more than one infringement."
Such a policy could result in hundreds of infringement claims against a single person over a single film, simply because they connected and disconnected from the swarm many times. The judge rejected this, saying that the studio view "would produce an entirely arbitrary and random result, in respect of the number of copyright infringements."
After telling the movie studios to go suck a lemon, Judge Cowdroy admitted that his ruling would not affect the rampant copyright infringement on the Internet. But he noted that "the fault lies with the applicants for choosing the wrong respondent. The current respondent does not stand in the way of the applicants pursuing those who have directly infringed their copyright nor in the way of the applicants pursuing any of the constituent parts of the BitTorrent system for authorisation. This decision in no way forecloses the applicants pursuing those other avenues to obtain a suitable remedy. The existence of infringement of copyright, however regrettably extensive, can never compel a finding of authorisation [by iiNet]."
In addition, the studios have to cover all of iiNet's costs from the trial.
The way forward
The ruling was a total vindication of iiNet, but the company sounded a conciliatory note when the trial ended—it wants to license movies and so has no real interest in burning bridges with the studios. Thus, where gloating might be expected, we get this: "In relation to copyright holders, we conclude by again saying we do not and never have supported, encouraged or authorised illegal sharing or downloading of files in breach of the copyright laws.
"We are eager to engage with the film industry and copyright holders to make this material legitimately available."
As for AFACT, it expressed "disappointment" with the ruling.
"We are confident that the Government does not intend a policy outcome where rampant copyright infringement is allowed to continue unaddressed and unabated via the iiNet network," said AFACT boss Neil Gane.
As in neighboring New Zealand, the next step will no doubt be to ramp up pressure on legislators to put three strikes obligations into law.

Local television news, and increasingly national news and overall television programming, has become the domain of fear, viciousness, snooping, and suffering. Decent media people, who usually sought a career in journalism or the media with the highest motives and ethics in mind, are pushed to value only ratings and profits. Last year a national show was launched that featured home videos of viciousness and suffering, and its ads—which were foisted on anyone who happened to be listening to that network in prime time—depicted a person tending his garden being attacked by a neighbor and a child being abused by a babysitter. In Philadelphia, my hometown, a major network's local news reporting on escalating racial hostilities be-tween Hispanics and whites showed repeat-edly—and advertised—throughout an evening their "exclusive" video of a "drive-by shooting" by a Hispanic. The anchor's voiceover urged calm in the white neighborhood as the picture was full of violence, fear, and provocation. The station had no comment as it later appeared that the video actually showed only part of a series of complex, violent events that did not include a drive-by shooting. Such events, and maudlin interviews and intrusions on basic privacy and respect, are now commonplace.

Leading up to Saturday's demoralizing 20-3 to loss visiting Syracuse, the coaches and players on Maryland's football team indicated that their goals were still intact and achievable -- that their season was still worth saving.
While that sentiment still lingered on Tuesday at the team's media luncheon, it certainly seemed like Saturday's drubbing also served as a reality check, or at the very least as an indicator that the focus for the remaining three games has shifted.
"I think we were a little more disappointed [compared to past losses]," said quarterback C.J. Brown. "We felt confident going into that game and to come out and not execute like that, especially on the offensive side of the ball, including myself, I felt that we were down."
Brown threw two interceptions and lost one fumble, all in Syracuse territory. The Terps crossed midfield on eight of 13 possessions - a number that, according to Randy Edsall, most coaches would be thrilled with - only to put a grand total of three points on the scoreboard.
Yes, the Terps plan on showing up for their final three games. And yes, they're still desperate to win at least one of them to lock up bowl eligibility in Edsall's third year in the driver's seat in College Park. But after this injury-riddled stretch in which Maryland has dropped four of five, Edsall sounded on Tuesday like he may have started to peek towards 2014.
"We're frustrated," he said. "We all are. The players are frustrated. The coaches are frustrated. But we have to remember that we're making strides."
"The thing is, when you take a look at our team, it's a very young team. We have made improvements. We're talented. We're going to continue to get more talent. We don't have the depth we had, and again, I think some people got ahead of themselves a little bit after the first four games."
Some of those people were his young players, who were apparently cozying up to their own press clippings when the team was sitting pretty at 4-0. That is what the Edsall calls "cheating the process," and he has since instructed his team to resist reading about the team.
"I remember people telling me, 'Oh, you've got this turned around,'" he said. "Well no, you don't turn it around in four games. It's a process we're building here, and the building process is going on."
"I've got to look at what we're doing long-term here. This isn't the short term."
It's hard to imagine that was the mindset of his coach or his players two months ago. In fact, after Saturday's game Edsall sat before the press a confused coach. He toted a laundry list of his players' physical mistakes and had no qualms with pointing out that they directly hindered their ability to win games. On Tuesday, he retreated from that stance.
"[The coaches] can always call better plays," he said. "Not every play is going to work. When they don't work, there was probably a play we could have called or a defense we could have called that is better. This is a collective effort between players and coaches. It's not just about players. It's about all of us."
So if the emphasis has indeed migrated from winning now to long-term improvement, as Edsall implied on Tuesday, it begs the question of where this program is headed under the third year coach.
Despite the team's slide, the Edsall vowed not to panic. As the face of the program, his composure is paramount. But equally important is the coach and his team providing evidence that this ship is headed in the right direction. So where is that evidence?
"We have one more win now than a year ago," Edsall said. "We have talented players. It's unfortunate that those guys got hurt, your playmakers that you were building your offense around."
"People don't like to be patient. But what we're going to do is continue to work the way we're working. Continue to get better. Continue to recruit and develop. And we're going to get where we want to go. It might not be as fast for some people, but we'll get there as fast as we can go without cheating the process."

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia (MSO) rose 9.95% to $4.86, up 44 cents from its previous close of $4.42, at the close of the trading day on Tuesday after the company reported fourth-quarter earnings that surpassed analysts' expectations.
The company reported basic and diluted net income per share of 12 cents, which was 10 cents better than the Capital IQ consensus estimate of 2 cents a share. This also marked a 10-cent increase from 2 cents a share in the same period one year earlier. Revenues fell 16% year over year to $47.4 million from $56.4 million, though this still beat the consensus estimate of $45.4 million.
"As promised, we also took some aggressive and important steps in the last quarter of 2013 to align our cost structure with marketplace realities and more importantly to become nimbler, more efficient, generators of ideas, inspirations, content and product. We also promised to put to bed several pieces of notable and distracting litigation, and we did so," said CEO Dan Dienst in the company's statement. "With some of the best, brightest and most passionate employees in our business lines - all of whom have embraced our new way of chasing opportunities as One Company - we are very excited about the groundwork we will lay in 2014 for tapping our esteemed brand's fullest potential."

A trailblazer for deaf actors dies: Devils Lake native won Tony Award in Broadway play, Rough Rider Award
Phyllis Frelich, a Devils Lake native credited with helping to blaze a trail for deaf actors, has died.
"You paved so many roads for us, Phyllis," the group said on its Facebook page. "A leading light of our community has been lost, and we mourn deeply. Our thoughts are with her family."
Frelich was the oldest of nine deaf children born to deaf parents, but she dreamed of becoming an actress, according to the state's biography of her and news reports.
Graduating from the state School for the Deaf in her hometown, she went to Gallaudet College, a school for the deaf in Washington, D.C., before seeking a career in acting.
She was one of the founding members of the National Theater of the Deaf in 1967 and, through her involvement there, met playwright Mark Medoff. Inspired by the difficulty of deaf actors to find a suitable role, he wrote "Children of a Lesser God" with her in mind for the leading role.
Frelich went on to win a Tony Award in 1980 for her performance in the Broadway play.
Actress Marlee Matlin, who won an Oscar for her role in the movie version of the play, mourned Frelich's death on Twitter: "I'm devastated that Phyllis Freilich Tony winner for 'Children of A Lesser God' has died. She was a TRUE talent. RIP."
The state of North Dakota honored Frelich with its highest honor, the Rough Rider Award, in 1981. Her portrait hangs in the Capitol with other award winners.
"Betsy (Dalrymple) and I are saddened to hear of the passing of Phyllis Frelich," Gov. Jack Dalrymple said in a statement Friday. "She will always be remembered as a gifted actress and an inspiration. Although she was deaf, she never wavered in her pursuit of the theater arts. She was a great example of the power of determination and she inspired many others to pursue their dreams. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family, friends and her many fans."
Besides Frelich's work on the stage, an online filmography shows she acted in many TV shows, from the soap opera "Santa Barbara," in which she played the recurring character Sister Sarah, to "CSI: Crime Scene Investigations," in which she played the mother of a victim.
She shared the screen with Matlin in that episode.
Frelich was nominated for an Emmy in 1985 for her supporting role in the Hallmark Hall of Fame miniseries "Love is Never Silent."
An online source said she died in Temple City, Calif. She is survived by her husband, Robert Steinberg, a nondeaf set designer.

Other than giving us a great body, everyone knows that exercise also has many benefits. It makes sure that we stay healthy too. Exercise also helps with other things like reducing stress and slowing down the aging process. Regular exercise can actually help our brain as well. It also helps with promoting better memory and learning.
Exercise helps with improving blood circulation. Good blood circulation supplies the right amount of nutrients that all the other organs in our body need to function properly. This is true with our brain as well. Our blood carries the large amount of oxygen and glucose that our brain needs. Some brain diseases can be avoided too when blood flow to the brain is increased. Some forms of dementia and Alzheimer's are some known diseases that is a result of not having enough blood in the brain. Nerve and cell growth in the brain is enhaced with working out too. Research shows that the growth of new cells in the brain are focused mainly on the part of the brain responsible for learning and memory known as the hippocampus.
Aging causes changes in our body including our brain. The decline of our cognitive function is one of those changes. This causes us to learn new things with a lot of difficulty as we age. Because exercise helps in fighting the aging process, it helps in slowing down the harmful effects it has on our brain. Working out helps combat stress too and that helps keep our minds sharper and more alert. In order for learning to occur, three elements that need to be present namely active processing, alertness and immersion. When your mind is more alert and sharp, these can easily be achieved. Brain growth and learning is hindered by stress since it leads to distress that causes distractions.
Simple exercises like walking are not as effective as more challenging ones. The reason for that is rigorous exercise release more hormones. Many hormones produced when we workout aid in improving cellular and tissue growth and repair. Norepinephrine is one of those hormones. Norepinephrine is a hormone that aids in improving our memory. Our muscles to produce the hormones needed to stimulate cell growth in our brain when we do exercise like strength training, dancing and aerobics since these allow our muscles do a variety of movements. You also have to watch what you eat to ensure that your brain can function properly since diet is always coupled with exercise. Food that are rich in omega 3 fats, antioxidants, and whole grains are a must.
There are many benefits that exercise gives that are not well known. We now know that getting brawn is good for the brain. It only goes to show that a sound body is equal to a sound mind.
We have the exclusive reviews on all your favorite brands and models to help you get in shape, get healthy and look great. For more see www.naturalhealthorganics.com.au
