A Sweet Way to Light a Fire
Petroleum-saturated cotton balls are excellent firestarters, even in windy and rainy conditions. I've always carried five or six of these in a 35mm film canister. You don't use them all the time, but they are great to have in your pack and can be easily ignited with a lighter, match, or ferro rod.
A down side of stuffing them into the film can is that they mush together and become one giant messy glob of cotton and Vaseline.
Lately I've been wrapping the soaked cotton balls in a 4"x5" piece of waxed paper and twisting the ends. This results in what reminds me of a piece of salt water taffy. Place a handful of these in a plastic bag and include it with your fire kit. You'll always know how many you have at a glance. The waxed paper weighs next to nothing.
I don't at all miss the messy hands after teasing out a cotton ball from a film canister. The edges of the waxed paper light easily. If you are using a spark to light the fire, just untwist the paper to expose the cotton. It's a sweet way to carry and use these firestarters. No mess, no fuss.

I-75 construction begins Saturday
(WJBK) - Construction on I-75 starts Saturday at dawn and Michigan is getting ready.
Southbound from Springwells in southwest Detroit to Northline in Southgate will be closed.
"I got a flat tire a couple of weeks ago and it's horrible," said Raul Roao, who says he's ready for the roads to be fixed.
The Rouge River Bridge is at times literally crumbling, with potholes so severe you can see through them.
It's a $200 million project that will take two years to complete with detours for drivers.
"Plan to leave really early -- at least double to triple your time the first few days," said Diane Cross of MDOT.
Businesses along the construction route are also preparing for the impact.
"We depend on the factory across the street ... and the neighborhood on the other side. So I hope 75 won't be that much," said Aref Bazzi, a gas station owner.
For the next two years, northbound I-75 and access to the Ambassador Bridge will remain open. The detour for SB I-75 will begin at I-96 in Detroit to North Line Road -- that's for 2017.
The detour will be located from I-96 to Sibley Road the following year.
MDOT is installing cameras as well as electronic signs and traffic information to give drivers travel times and any mobility issues.

Hearing the news about the devastating attack on the Orlando based gay night club this weekend reminds me, yet again, that we are not safe, not even in the spaces we've created to be safe in together. Though some might proclaim that homophobia isn't a big problem, that we've made such strides regarding freedom for the queer community, it remains a fact that our community is under constant threat, as individuals and groups across the country are forced to hide in plain sight for fear of being "othered" and killed because of it.
Political and religious discourse should fall by the wayside as we contemplate the lives lost to this horrific hate crime. Instead of using this as a springboard for our own agendas, we should instead focus on joining in grief with the families and friends of the victims, as well as celebrating the lives they lived. It takes so much courage to be who we really are.
Thankfully, most of what I've seen online is an outpouring of love for the queer (and especially Latinx) community. People have donated resources and time to the remaining victims. People have stood in solidarity with the queer community, letting us know that we aren't alone.
Unfortunately, offline, there seems to be a pressing silence, an unwillingness to engage. I can't quite put my finger on it, but it seems that the unwillingness might stem from an acknowledgement that if we begin a conversation, something will have to be done. We'll have to admit that something is very, very wrong and that steps must be taken to correct it.
Things have to change.
Whatever that looks like, we need to take a long, hard look at the way things are now and decide. Are we as a country going to continue to subscribe to the beliefs and attitudes that allow such a tragic event to happen? If not, what concrete steps should we take to ensure that the next generation and all who come after do not have to live in fear that they will, at some point, experience such a tragedy? The freedom to have access to guns is nothing compared to the freedom to live as who we are without fear.
Providing space to educate people on how to be allies and how to support the queer community would also be a wonderful way to show support. Talking out issues and confronting homophobia in ourselves, rooting it out and replacing it with a desire to love, accept and listen would also be good steps to take.
It will be difficult. I'm not going to say these things are easy or that they won't take time, but they are worth it. To be able to give our future children a world where they do not have to be afraid of revealing their true selves: That is worth everything.
This world will not get better if we keep doing nothing. Peace will not just happen. We must determine to work towards peace, together. It is up to us to shape the future.
So what can we do? How can we help? What's the best way to contribute our resources?
What we can do right now is listen. Listen to those who have been hurt, who are grieving. We can share our resources. Donate blood if you're in or near Orlando, or volunteer your time. If you aren't near Orlando, but you can give financially, please do so through the GoFundMe page for Equality Florida. All proceeds go directly to the victims and victims' families. We also need to talk. We need to make decisions regarding gun control. We need to make changes if we are to prevent something like this from happening again.
Let's honor the memory of those lost by loving as they loved, accepting each other for who we are instead of judging for who we are not. Let's give our time and resources and dedicate ourselves to making a change and making the world a better place so that when future history books cover this event, it is noted that while it was the largest mass shooting in America, the overwhelming response was one of love.
We love you, Orlando.Image Credits: Purse Orlando

Seth Rogen's (fake) abs could really give Zac Efron's a run for his money. OK, not really, but the effort is acknowledged and appreciated.
In our first official look of the highly anticipated sequel to their film Neighbors, fans see the always-hunky and buff Efron, as frat bro Teddy Sanders, flaunting his drool-worthy shirtless bod while wearing tiny orange shorts. His new buddy Rogen, aka Mac Radner, decided to match with his younger bestie and tried to be on par with his washboard abs by having fake lines defining his muscle.
"Anytime I'm shirtless next to Zac Efron for really long periods, it even gets to me eventually," Rogen told Entertainment Weekly. It's precious, really.
Meanwhile, Rogen's onscreen wife Rose Byrne, who plays Kelly Radner, dressed up as a pregnant cheerleader (Byrne is actually pregnant in real life).
But what are they all so fixated on? It's the sorority girls that have penetrated their block.
Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising introduces some very familiar and pretty newcomers to the film, including Chloe Grace Moretz and Selena Gomez. "With the sorority girls, it's like a glimpse into their daughter's future, and it terrifies them," Byrne told EW.
And while we don't know too many details about the upcoming flick, viewers can rest assured that they're going to experience more ragers that will make them either wish they were back in college or dread living next to a house full of young party animals.
"I could do a TED talk on how to throw a fake party," said director Nicholas Stoller. "I've thrown at least 20 times more fake parties than real parties, and my real parties are so much worse."
You can experience all the fun with Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising hits theaters May 20.

Garbage & Recycling Collection
There may be times when your garbage or recycling does not get picked up. This may happen for several reasons. Village Employees are sometimes restricted in what they can and cannot pick up due to their safety, the budget, etc. Please check the tag left by collectors for the reason the pickup was not made or contact the Village Hall at 414-962-6690 for further information.
Electronics Recycling Information
Wisconsin became the 19th state to pass a law mandating the recycling of electronic waste. The USEPA estimates that over 1 million tons of used electronics are being land filled each year.
Garbage Collection Information
Residents are responsible for providing metal or plastic trash containers that do not exceed 30-gallon capacity, and weigh no more than 60 pounds when filled. If you currently have a container that is more than 30 gallons, please put your garbage in several sturdy plastic garbage bags so the collectors can pull the bags out. Each container must have at least two handles and a tight fitting cover. Residents should have enough containers to hold 10 days worth of trash. Recycling containers are provided by the Village.
Recycling Collection Information
Beginning in December of 2008, the Village conducted an experiment by picking up recycled material using a single stream comingled process. This experiment demonstrated the ability for DPW to pick up additional recyclable material, while lowering the capital cost of a new recycling truck and lowering the cost for disposal.
Shorewood Transfer Station Information
The Village of Whitefish Bay and the Village of Shorewood negotiated an agreement to allow Whitefish Bay residents to dispose of refuse and yard waste items at the Shorewood Transfer Station.
Special Pickup Information
The DPW will not collect certain large items, such as household appliances, water heaters, fencing, windows, screens, or large accumulations of trash (such as that created when cleaning out an attic or garage) on regular collection days. These items require a special pick-up.

Today is the very last day of the One Water Story's four month Sailing Expedition in the Great Lakes!
What a story it has been. Over the course of our summer expedition, we had over 35 guest crew members, visited 14 different inland cities and islands (many of them twice!), held 8 One Water Story Outreach Events, and had over 1,000 people visit the boat to learn about our research.
The Great Lakes gave all of us a chance to be a part of an amazing story. I think it touched each of us differently, but whether it be personal growth, a better understanding of the environment, a sense of adventure purpose, or simply just a chance to bask in the awesomeness of nature, it provided something to all of us who took part.
Sea Dragon, our intrepid yacht, has reached Halifax, Nova Scotia, and will be celebrating the completion of our One Water Story with one final Outreach Event tomorrow at the commercial development area of the Halifax Waterfront. We hope that if you're around, you have the opportunity to come and hear the stories from our amazing summer story, so that maybe in the future you can take part in one as well! Today's blog is from two current crew members, Nikita Allison and Tom Gregoire. Both of these young gentlemen enjoyed their experiences on board so much that they've decided to stay on for the upcoming Extreme Sail Training program, leaving on October 5 from Halifax and sailing to beautiful Bermuda! There's still room available for this expedition, so if their words inspire you, you're more than welcome to join them!
The Surprise Guest-Nikita Allison, 29 from Victoria, British Columbia
I joined this crew for two main reasons. One was the experience of sailing a 72′ yacht in places I have never been while meeting new people. The second, and more importantly, the look on my best friend Andrew's face when I showed up on the yacht after flying across the country without him knowing.
This adventure has been more than i had hoped for. We have an amazing crew of positive, exciting people, and the Captain and First Mate are both fun interesting gents with vast knowledge they share. September 28 was an exceptional day, and a highlight to the entire crew. Tom, Andrew , and I had some instruments on deck and played music in the early afternoon. Then we all had a turn being hoisted to the top of the 96′ mast. While I was up there, I could see a pod of Beluga whales, and a Humpback as well. Soon after a second pod of Belugas passed us by. The sun was out, the sky was blue, and the air was comparable to a warm summer day even though it's the end of September. I personally couldn't be happier to have had such a wonderful day with such amazing people. Truly the definition of "Awesome."
DO IT!-Tom Gregoire, Age 26, from Halifax, Nova Scotia
Written September 28, 2013
What an unbelievable experience…I joined the crew for a few reasons, namely wanting some long-distance sailing experience, but also to force myself outside my comfort zone. Today I was hoisted up the main mast over 90 feet high (definitely outside my comfort zone!), to behold a spectacular view of the St. Lawrence River and several pods of whales. Last night at the helm for three hours, I navigated the seaway under the stars, always ever cautious of the suddenly appearing tanker or cruise-ship. I wouldn't be lying if I said I learned ten new things every day on this journey. It's only halfway through, and I wish I had more time. Whoever is reading this, if you ever have a chance to get on this ship, regardless of where they are sailing, DO IT! Experiences like these don't come around very often.

IT had never occurred to Christopher Pitts, an American working and living in Shanghai, that he would feel homesick not for his home state of Tennessee, but for Shanghai.
As of December, the 29-year-old chef at Table No. 1, a trendy restaurant serving contemporary European cuisine, will have lived in the city for five years.
"I've become so accustomed to living in Shanghai that now it feels like home. It's already hard to go back to the States, and after about two weeks I always want to come back to my life here," he tells Shanghai Daily.
Pitts came to Shanghai to help open Sir Elly's restaurant in The Peninsula Shanghai. It was his first time in China; before that he never lived outside the southern part of the United States. He now has a satisfying job, some great friends and also found his life partner in this journey to China.
An increasing number of foreigners like Pitts are choosing China as the destination to work and live abroad.
Last month, HSBC offered new research about the countries and regions that suit expatriates best. In its latest Expat Explorer Survey, HSBC interviewed 9,288 expats via an online questionnaire, with respondents in over 100 countries and regions taking part. Switzerland, Singapore and China's mainland came out on top as the leading destinations for a balanced expat lifestyle in 2014.
The survey participants were almost evenly split by gender, and nearly half (46 percent) were aged 35-54. The interviewees were primarily working in the banking, construction and education sectors.
The survey ranked 34 countries and regions on the basis of expat economics, lifestyle experience and children raising.
In terms of economics, China's mainland ranks at the top. This area covers a range of factors including income, wealth and disposable income. A separate section deals with expenses.
The report also indicates that 60 percent (compared with the 32 percent global average) of expat respondents living on China's mainland agreed that the country is getting better as a place to live and work due to its rapid economic growth.
"The city is great," says Pitts. "There is so much potential, which of course everyone says. The difference for me is the ability to unlock that potential. The city is limitless if you possess the skill sets to excel."
Peter Wang, 36, has worked in a Chinese-German engineering joint venture for nearly seven years. Dr Wang of RWTH Aachen University says one German colleague (a technical department manager), who has the same degree as him, has an amazing compensation package — 3 million yuan (US$488,000) a year, a subsistence allowance for each child, rental and children's tuition.
Few expats came in the past
"Of course a German staffer has his own advantage. But is he really that good?" Wang asks with a slightly disappointed shrug. "The man doesn't participate in a real technical working process and merely gives advice. He is here because he was assigned by the German side and it's the company rule."
In the past, not many foreign elites were willing to come to China's mainland, according to Wang. They were worried about the working and living environment being below the standard they were used to.
"So normally the company will offer a promotion when their term of office is over. Surely this doesn't happen anymore," he says.
"A French friend of mine working in Peugeot several years ago bought a house right away when he went back to Paris," Wang says, adding that such high salaries are how foreigners see opportunity in China.
He calls them "foreign emperors."
"Now it is not rare for Japanese staff leaving China after three years, when their term is over, to weep away, especially the high-level leaders (with the biggest compensation packages)," says Lisa Xu, HR manager of a Japanese car company.
The HSBC report shows that China is by far the leading destination for these high-flyers. The survey found that nearly a third of expats (29 percent) here earn over US$250,000 annually.
China's mainland also performs well in the area of expat expenses, ranking fourth-lowest out of 34 countries. The high income levels combined with relatively cheaper expenditures mean that 76 percent of expats here are finding themselves with more disposable income than they did back home and are enjoying a better social life.
Part of that is due to the Chinese propensity, particularly in Shanghai, to openly embrace foreigners.
"But personally I find Chinese people somehow treat foreigners too nicely, and we are not reciprocated with the same kindness when we are in foreign countries," says sociologist Zhang Haidong from Shanghai University.
Indeed, 43 percent of the expats in China said they have a more active social life since moving (compared with the global average of 28 percent).
Many of them, however, tend to hang out with other expats.
"Most of my friends here are in fact expats. I have Chinese friends as well but aside from a language barrier you need to consider culture," admits Pitts. "When a Chinese national tells me something like, 'You can't wear bead bracelets that someone has given you until you've soaked them in water for three days,' I have no reason to argue with them; that's their belief and had I been raised in China I would probably think that as well.
"It's just not the same mentality. Most of my Chinese friends have spent time overseas and have more Western mentalities as it helps us relate more," he adds.
China's mainland ranks 26th in expat experience criteria. Many expats need some effort to get acclimated to their new surroundings and many complain about the life quality.
"The only bad point is pollution and a big lack of food quality control. In China there is an expression, which is so true: If you don't eat you will die of hunger, but if you eat you will die of poisoning," says 23-year-old Aurelie Villers, who works in a French governmental agency in Shanghai.
With all kinds of pubs, restaurants and coffee shops, and the rising popularity of dating websites, almost half (49 percent) of expats in China say they have found a life partner since relocating. That number is well above the global average of 36 percent.
"I have many local friends as well as expat friends," says Suhail Nasir, 38, an engineer and stand-up comedian. "Language is not a big problem in Shanghai as many locals can speak English. Many of my friends have found their life partners here. Indeed Shanghai is a great place for socializing."
Pitts found his partner early on after he arrived in China. She was born in China and raised in England. Without her, Pitts says he never would have made it so far because she helped him bridge the gap from Western to Chinese culture.
"Being an expat you find that when you go home your mentality has changed," he says, adding that he was looking for someone who tended to share the same experiences.
"I call her my future, because now that I have her I know I couldn't continue to grow the way I've been growing without her," says Pitts. "This is because we're both very driven, and China helped to bring together two people from different sides of the world with like minds. Lucky me!"

Contributions can provide a tax deduction to the person/company that makes them.
Employer-sponsored plans include:
Qualified pension and profit-sharing plans
401(k) plans
403(b) plans
Keogh plans
Simplified Employee Pensions (SEP)
SIMPLE plans
Plans provide benefits to employers and employees
Employer gets immediate deduction for contributions.
Employer contributions are not compensation to employee.
Earnings from plan investments are not taxed when earned.
Plan assets or earnings are not taxable to employee until withdrawn.
Defined-contribution plans pre-establish the amount of the contribution
The amount of the eventual distribution is not known with certainty and will vary.
Defined-benefit plans pre-establish the amount of the benefit
The amount of the contribution is not known with certainty and will vary.
Qualified pension & profit-sharing plans:
Nondiscriminatory, minimum vesting rules, contributory or noncontributory
Additions to defined-contribution plan can't exceed lower of $51K or 100% of compensation
Additions to defined-benefit plan can't result in benefits more than the lower of $205K or 100% of compensation
401(k) plans
Must meet nondiscrimination rules
Employee can elect to defer up to $17,500 (additional $5,500 if age 50 or over)
Keogh plans
For self-employed
Contribution limits generally the same as qualified plans
Simplified Employee Pensions (SEP)
Employer creates and contributes to employee IRAs
Maximum contribution is lower of 25% of compensation or $51,000.
SIMPLE plans
Employer creates IRA or 401(k) for employee
Employee contributes a % up to $12,000 (additional $2,500 allowed if age 50 or over)
Employer makes matching contribution of 3% for all employees or 2% for all eligible employees.
Traditional Individual Retirement Account (IRA) and Roth IRA.
Contributions limited to smaller of $5,500 or 100% of compensation. If age 50 or over, the dollar limit is $6,500.
Individuals covered under an employer plan
Deductible contribution amount begins to phase out when AGI reaches $95K (married) or $59K (others) and is fully phased out at $115K and $69K, respectively.
Married filing separately, the phase out starts at $0.
Can still make nondeductible contribution up to the $5,500 or $6,500 limits
Married taxpayers
If both employed and neither are covered under an employer plan, then both spouses can make a deductible IRA contribution up to the $ limits.
If only one spouse is employed and that person is not covered under an employer plan, can contribute up to the maximum for both persons.
If one spouse is covered under an employer plan, and the other is not, the non-covered spouse can contribute up to the dollar limits if AGI < $178,000.
Roth IRA contributions are not deductible but withdrawals are not taxable
Contribution limits are the same as with a traditional IRA
Phase out starts at $178K (MFJ), $112K (single or HoH), $0 (MFS)
Phase out range is $10K MFJ, $15K others
Traditional IRA vs Roth IRA
Contributions are deductible for traditional IRA but not for Roth IRA
Distributions are taxable for traditional IRA but not for Roth IRA
Taxpayers are trading off the non-deductibility of contributions against the non-taxability of distributions.

Totally phased out at $30K or $15K above those numbers, respectively.
Generally, distributions are taxable if contributions were deductible.
When some (but not all) contributions were made with previously taxed dollars, then distributions will be partially tax free and partially taxable. Use simplified method.
Simplified method. For cases where distributions are partially taxable.
Determine number of anticipated payments using single life or dual life tables in text
Determine total contributions from previously-taxed dollars.
Fraction: previously taxed $ / # payments
Fraction represents proportion of each payment that will be tax-free.
Other plans have required minimum distributions (RMD) that must begin by April 1 of year following the year taxpayer reaches age 70.5.
RMD is based on life expectancy tables from IRS (normally Table III in text)
Use these IRS tables to determine life expectancy each year.
Roth IRA distributions are generally not taxable.
Earnings are taxable if withdrawn prior to an initial five-year holding period.
Coverdell Education Savings Account distributions are tax-free if used to pay for qualified education expenses of beneficiary.
Can't use education expenses paid by CESA also for American Opportunity/Hope or lifetime learning credits
Premature distributions generally subject to 10% penalty.
Some exceptions apply. See page 11-17
Rollovers are generally tax-free. Rollovers to a Roth IRA are taxable.
If rollover $ are distributed to the taxpayer, there is a 60-day window to deposit $ in new plan. Otherwise, the entire amount is taxable.
An annuity is a series of payments pursuant to a contract.
Normally, annuity payments are partially taxable and partially tax-free to recipient
The tax-free component is based on the cost of the annuity contract and expected return
The cost of the annuity contract is the amount the recipient paid for the contract.
The portion of the payments that is represented by the cost of the contract is tax-free.
The expected return is the total amount the recipient anticipates receiving over the annuity contract.
For contracts that will last a specified amount of time, the expected return is the periodic payment × the number of payments.
For contracts that will provide payments for life, the recipient must refer to the life expectancy tables to determine length of time.

In efforts to establish and understand structure–property relationships in Laves phase intermetallics, elastic and mechanical properties are studied as a function of composition in the C15 HfCo2 system. Elastic constants and Debye temperatures are determined by resonant ultrasound spectroscopy (RUS) at room temperature. A maximum near the stoichiometric Laves composition is revealed with the Young's modulus, bulk modulus, and Poisson's ratio. In addition, a slight drop in shear modulus is found with Co-rich compositions, and the Debye temperature increases with Co-content. Room temperature Vickers indentation is performed to assess the microhardness and fracture toughness of the HfCo2 alloys. A maximum in hardness occurs near the stoichiometric composition, which is contrary to the behavior displayed in most other classes of intermetallics. Slight improvements in the toughness are found with the Co-rich compositions of the Laves phase. Compositional trends of the properties are attributed to defect structures, and are analyzed with respect to the bonding of the structure and the ease in which the synchroshear deformation process proceeds. Toughening strategies and methodologies are then developed based upon these results.

March has already proven to be a fascinating month of Bundesliga football so far. With spring in the air, it is becoming ever-clearer which sides are blossoming into genuine contenders for top honours, European qualification and top-flight survival.
The month began with a frenetic englische Woche, and fans have barely had time to stop and smell the flowers since…
FC Bayern München began the month enjoying an eight-point cushion on second-placed Borussia Dortmund, and seemingly cruising to a fourth consecutive Bundesliga title. 1. FSV Mainz 05 proved spoilers on Matchday 24, though, with Jairo and Jhon Cordoba scoring to drown out Arjen Robben's strike and hand the league leaders their first home defeat since May 2015.
A heavily rotated Dortmund, meanwhile, closed the gap to the champions to just five points with victory over SV Darmstadt 98, before holding Pep Guardiola's side to a goalless draw in Der Klassiker on Matchday 25 to leave the title race wide open with nine games of the 2015/16 campaign remaining.
With FCB and BVB all-but assured of UEFA Champions League football next season, the chasing pack are painting a compelling picture of their own. Hertha BSC are currently the best of the rest, 16 points behind Dortmund. The capital club kicked off March with a 2-0 win over Eintracht Frankfurt, but suffered a 2-0 reverse at Hamburger SV last time out.
The Old Lady haven't played in Europe's top-tier competition since 2000, but with only six points separating them from Bayer 04 Leverkusen in eighth - and - there is no guarantee they will end that drought.
At the other end of the table, Hannover 96 have propped up the standings since Matchday 18. Narrowly above them are TSG 1899 Hoffenheim, who under new coach Julian Nagelsmann - the Bundesliga's youngest ever coach at 28 - picked up a key win over FC Augsburg before shipping five goals in a heavy defeat at VfB Stuttgart.
SV Werder Bremen, who were languishing in 16th heading into Matchday 24, bagged consecutive 4-1 wins, against Leverkusen and Hannover. Replacing them in the promotion/relegation play-off spot are Eintracht Frankfurt, whose 1-1 draw with FC Ingolstadt 04 in their most recent encounter cost Armin Veh his job as head coach.
The Bundesliga saw 56 goals fly in in less than a week at the beginning of the month, but the highlight was nonetheless Der Klassiker between Bayern and Dortmund, which ended 0-0. Broadcast live in 208 countries, the top-of-the-table clash saw chances at both ends and tactical jousting between Pep Guardiola and Thomas Tuchel, prompting Germany coach Joachim Löw to describe it as "the best game I've seen this season".
The reverse fixture back on Matchday 8 had seen Bayern cruise to a 5-1 victory at the Allianz Arena, but Tuchel's charges have picked up two more points than the leaders since that defeat - and kept the title race wide open with that SIGNAL IDUNA PARK stalemate.
Nobody gained more ground in March than Bremen, and no player was more responsible for that progress than Claudio Pizarro. At 37 years, four months and 30 days of age, the Peruvian striker became the oldest player to score a Bundesliga hat-trick in helping his side to a 4-1 win over Die Werkself.
Pizarro also enjoyed a goal and an assist in the 4-1 win over Hannover in their last encounter, lifting his tally for the season to 11 goals. Throw in his two assists, and the former Bayern striker has been responsible for a goal inside every 94 minutes he has played this term.
Wolfsburg's record in March reads: played two, won two, six goals for, one against. Five of those six goals were scored by World Cup-winners Andre Schürrle and Julian Draxler. The former scored his first ever Bundesliga hat-trick in the 4-0 win at Hannover, while Draxler brought his season tally to six in the Wolves' 2-1 win over Borussia Mönchengladbach.
Mainz striker Cordoba has also been enjoying a rich vein of form of late: With Bayern four minutes away from stretching their undefeated home Bundesliga record to 13 games, the Colombian latched onto a Julian Baumgartlinger pass before angling the ball past Manuel Neuer for a shock 2-1 win. Cordoba has now scored three goals in 13 games - none better than his stunner in Munich.

His house is a putrid ruin; his family is scattered across the United States; his energy is sapped by two hurricanes in a month; and now to top it all he faces from today the start of the mother of all bureaucratic battles with the insurers and building contractors.
As Hurricane Rita petered out to the north, Steven Guillot, a detective from one of the areas most devastated by the deadlier Hurricane Katrina, was yesterday like hundreds of thousands of New Orleanians preparing for the next big challenge - how to rebuild and finding out who will pay.
"I've already filed two claims for Katrina and Rita," he said, glancing at the expanse of water that spread on both sides of the highway he was patrolling. "But I don't know if this counts as wind-driven water or flood damage."
Insurers have long argued that home-owners' insurance does not cover floods.
"Depending on that ruling depends who pays, the insurers or the government. Fema [the federal emergency service] is promising to step in to help those who didn't have federal flood insurance but it is all still unclear. One bank is offering alleged low interest loans. But the rate is higher than what I was paying on my mortgage."
With 48 hours of rain and wind from Hurricane Rita's coat-tails dying down and engineers intensifying their efforts to patch up a key levee that has now collapsed twice in a month, officials were cautiously optimistic that today they could at long last let many residents back home.
Army engineers estimated the Big Easy would be dry again within a week after Chinooks dropped 3,000lb sand bags to plug the wall of the Industrial Canal that gave way on Friday leading to a second swamping.
The levee system may not be completely repaired until next summer. But, clearly keen to inject an air of optimism, Ray Nagin, the mayor, is pushing to implement from today his plan to allow people to return to parts of the city.
In St Bernard Parish, on the eastern extremity of the city, officials were preparing for the return of tens of thousands of people for a brief first look at what is left of homes immersed in waters for two out of the last four weeks.
The residents will have to leave by nightfall as most of the houses are a stinking shambles with mud several feet deep and mould consuming the ceilings and walls.

New Developments
Nine states— La., Minn., Mo., Neb., N.H., N.J., S.C., Texas, Wash.— are currently considering legislation to increase their gas tax or sales tax on gasoline.
Three states— Conn., La., and Texas— are currently considering legislation to protect their transportation funds from diversions.
Three states— Ark., Mich., and Mo.— have pending legislation to convert the flat-rate excise tax on fuel entirely to a variable-rate tax. Additionally, a bill in Maine proposes indexing the flat gas tax to the Consumer Price Index.
Seven states— Conn., Maine, Mass., Minn., N.Y., Wash., and Wisc.— have proposed bonds to pay for transportation projects.
Georgia lawmakers have sent two bills to raise an estimated $975 million in recurring revenue and bonds for the state's transportation infrastructure to Governor Nathan Deal (R) for review.
Mississippi approved $200 million in bond financing for the state's transportation infrastructure on March 27.
Idaho approved on April 21 two bills: HB 312– a 7 cents-per-gallon state gas tax increase, higher vehicle registration fees, and a new fee on electric and hybrid cars in order to generate almost $95 million in transportation funding; and HB 132, higher fees on gaseous special fuels for $375,000 annually.
Utah approved on March 27 a bill to increase the state gas tax by 5 cents-per-gallon, create a 12 percent tax on the statewide average wholesale price of motor fuel to replace the flat gas tax in the future (once AWP reaches $2.45/ gallon), and permit counties to seek voter approval for a 1/4-cent sales and use tax increase for local transportation projects. A fiscal note estimates the bill could generate $101,625,500 for the Transportation Fund in the first two years.
Ballot Initiatives
No ballot measures were introduced this month.
Activity Status Year-to-Date
S.D. approved March 17 a 6 cents-per-gallon state gas tax increase, an additional 1 percent to the motor vehicle excise tax, and to raise license plate fees by 20 percent to generate over $80 million for state and county highway and bridge investment.
Iowa on Feb. 25 approved a 10 cents-per-gallon state gas tax increase, resulting in an estimated $200 million per year for transportation funding.
As part of N.D.'s "Surge Funding" bill approved in Feb., $450 million was allocated for ND DOT state highway funding, with an additional $352 million to be distributed to counties for road and bridge projects.
Minn. approved $3 million of disaster relief funds for roads and highways in areas affected by summer flooding.
Ballot Initiatives
Michigan Sales Tax Increase for Transportation Amendment (May 2015): A proposal to increase the state's sales and use tax by 1 percent, "tie-barred" with a number of road-funding bills which would take effect if the ballot measure is approved. The package of transportation bills would result in an annual increase of $1.2 billion for highway and bridge investment and $112 million for transit and rail improvements.
Total Statewide Funding Approved Year-to-Date: $1,482,000,500

Staphylococcus (cont.)
What Is the Prognosis of a Staph Infection?
If a staph infection is treated early with appropriate antibiotics and, if necessary, surgical drainage, the patient's prognosis is excellent. However, the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) warns that the outcome of a MRSA infection varies both with the severity of the infection and the general condition of the person who has the infection. MRSA pneumonia and sepsis (infection of the blood) have high death rates; the calculated death rate of invasive MRSA is about 20%. HA-MRSA (hospital-acquired MRSA) infections are a growing problem; it is reported that about 19,000 deaths per year in the U.S. are due to HA-MRSA, which is more deaths than HIV causes per year. However, with better hospital and home care, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) notes the number of deaths are declining. Fortunately, people who have good general health and have mild CA-MRSA (community-acquired MRSA) that is appropriately treated recover in almost every case.

From a technical standpoint, my work is informalist, searching for richness in the materials and the value of the colour and line.
I paint with my soul.

York's Favourite Ice Cream
12:58pm 27th February 2013
York ice cream manufacturer Yorvale has announced the winner in its 'Big Flavour' competition.
Appropriately for an ice cream inspired by Yorkshire, the winning flavour, voted for by members of the public, was Yorkshire Rhubarb and Ginger. The flavour was one of four that were shortlisted and was suggested by both Marie Mosely from Copmanthorpe and Sally Trousdale from York.
The competition attracted a record number of entries and Rhubarb and Ginger gained over half of the votes, followed by Chocolate Orange, Cinder Toffee & Apple and Yorkshire Lavender & Honey.
The winners will be invited to the farm based business to help create their ice cream later in the year and it will be available from Yorkshire farm shops and independent retailers in the summer.

In Tuesday night's State of the Union address, President Barack Obama made it clear his top priority was geared toward Congress' efforts to work together as a team.
The President stated,
"What comes of this moment will be determined not by whether we can sit together tonight, but whether we can work together tomorrow."
Through Obama's speech he once again touched on familiar territory stressing concerns over health care reform, budget cuts and economic stability, concerns over employment and job stability and the recent Arizona shooting that took the lives of innocent civilians.

Jason Martinez
A jury in Denver found a former Albuquerque Public Schools deputy superintendent not guilty on child sexual assault charges. The jury found Jason Martinez not guilty on four counts in all. Two were for sexual assault on a child by a person in a position of trust and the other two were for sexual assault on a child with a pattern of abuse. Martinez faced those charges while working at APS last year. Martinez did not undergo a background check required of all school personnel before he abruptly resigned last summer after just two months on the job.

|1. Aminoglycoside-2 phosphotransferase-IIIa (APH (2)-IIIa) prefers GTP over ATP: Structural templates for nucleotide recognition in the bacterial aminoglycoside-2
|CA Smith, M Toth, H Frase, LJ Byrnes - Journal of Biological , 2012 - ASBMB
YP_614837.1 from Silicibacter sp. TM1040 encodes the first solved structure of the chloro subfamily of Choline and Aminoglycoside Kinases (CAK), which are in turn members of the Protein Kinase-Like (PKL) superfamily. CAKs are best known as small molecule kinases, including choline kinases from eukaryotes and eubacteria, and aminoglycoside phosphotransferases, which inactivate aminoglycoside antibiotics by phosphorylation. Aminoglycoside phosphotransferases are a major contributor to antibiotic resistance of drugs that target the 16-S ribosomal subunit. These enzymes are highly promiscuous and can inactivate multiple drugs (Nurizzo et al, Fong et al). The chloro subfamily has a number of distinctive variations relative to other CAKs and PKL kinases, including the loss of a conserved salt bridge holding the N-terminal lobe together, and a divergent ATP binding motif (Kannan et al)
Figure 1. Monomer of YP_614837.1, colored from blue (N-term) to red (C-term)
The biological unit of YP_614837.1 is a dimer, as shown in Figure 2. Each monomer contributes two residues (Glu81 and His83) to a Zn binding site, which is located on the surface of the dimer interface.
Figure 2. Dimer view of YP_614837.1, with the Zn binding site bridging the two symmetry-related monomers.
Structural Overview
CAK-chloro retains the basic CAK fold, previously defined by the structures of APH and ChoK (Scheeff and Bourne 2005; Kannan, Taylor et al. 2007). There is a distinctive insertion in all CAK structures between helix E and the catalytic loop (PKA nomenclature is used for secondary structure elements in this discussion) consisting of two core helices, plus occasional additional secondary structure (Figure 3). This structure essentially replaces the activation loop seen in the protein kinases, which is missing in CAKs. This structure is present in CAK-chloro, and consists of the two core helices. CAKs also have a distinctive c-terminal helical structure, and this is also present, and in a typical form, in CAK-chloro (Figure 3). CAK-chloro is structurally most similar to HSK2 (PDB:2ppq), with an RMSD of 3.3 angstroms across 263 aligned positions.
Figure 3. Comparison of CAK-chloro, HSK2, and APH structures. The distinctive structures seen in CAKs are highlighted, with the insert between helix E and the catalytic loop in blue and the c-terminal structure in yellow.
ATP Binding Pocket / Catalytic Residues
The chloro subfamily has a number of distinctive ATP-binding pocket variations relative to other CAKs and PKL kinases. These changes are suggestive of a somewhat altered mode of ATP binding relative to other CAK enzymes.
The distinctive ion pair seen in most PKL kinases, which links strand 3 to helix C (Scheeff and Bourne 2005), is missing in the the CAK-chloro subfamily. This modification is also seen in the structurally similar HSK2 subfamily, but not in other members of the CAK family, where it is intact (usually as an R-E pair). The positively charged residue of the pair is important for interaction with the phosphate groups of bound ATP (it is replaced by methionine in CAK-chloro and theonine in HSK2) . It is plausible that R32 of strand 2 rescues the missing positive charge in CAK-chloro (Kannan, Taylor et al. 2007). A similar shift of the positive charge from strand 3 to strand 2 has been observed in the WNK protein kinase, with retention of ATP binding and catalytic activity (Min, Lee et al. 2004). However, it cannot be discerned that this is the case based on the available data, because R32, while highly conserved in sequence alignments (Kannan, Taylor et al. 2007), is not resolved in the structure (also, ATP is not present). The residues in the analogous position to R32 are resolved in both the HSK and APH structures, and in both cases their location and orientation are consistent with potential ATP interaction. It is also possible that a positively charged residue is not strictly required for ATP interaction in all PKL kinases. HSK does not show a similar conservation of R at the equivalent position (Kannan, Taylor et al. 2007), and appears to lack clear compensation for the loss of positive charge in the ATP binding pocket. Also, at least one case is now known where a protein kinase with major ATP binding pocket alterations still retains activity (Mukherjee, Sharma et al. 2008). Remarkably, CAK-chloro and HSK both replace the glutamate of the ion pair with a conserved phenylalanine residue, though the side chain orientation differs between the two structures: in CAK-chloro, F61 faces towards the ATP-binding pocket; in HSK2 F65 is packed into the structure behind the DFG motif (DFY in HSK2).
CAK-chloro also contains a distinctive change to an aromatic residue at Y34 (conserved in CAK-chloro as Y or F, Kannan et al.), a position that normally interacts with the adenine ring of ATP (V57 in PKA). This change is not seen in any other PKL family, but it is likely that this residue forms a ring stacking interaction with the adenine ring in the ATP-bound form. Such ring stacking interactions with ATP are a common feature of the CAK family, though the specific residues involved differ in various structures. Further, interaction of the adenine ring with Y34 might change the orientation of the ATP molecule such that the phosphate groups would be in a better position to interact with R32. Thus, the movement of positive charge from strand 3 to strand 2 may have resulted in other adjustments in the ATP binding pocket.
Other than the above changes, the active site of CAK-chloro is relatively typical for CAK family members. The catalytic aspartate residue and metal binding residues are present and conserved, and the hydrogen bond network in the c-terminal subunit that supports the catalytic loop structure (Scheeff and Bourne 2005) is intact, as it is in most other CAKs.

Hey Ya'll, Hope all is well. I am getting ready to go to the doctor, my appt. is at 11:00 to get the results of my cat scan. Through all of this I don't believe I have been this nervous before,so please say a prayer for me and my family, my mother and husband are going with me. As I have said before I haven't let my son know that I have had a reccurrence, I was trying to get him through the holidays and everything, had my last surgery the end of Nov. and he just thought it was scar tissue, but depending on what happens today I may have to tell him. I hate the control this disease has on ones life it is so from the devil, but....

I am so sorry I have not gotten back sooner. My results were great, everything remains stable. There are lesions but nothing has changed from the last scan so looks like it is scar tissue. Praise God! Thnak you all for all your prayers.
