As of January 1st, 2012 the daily rate has been increased to $25 on week days and $30 on weekends. There's no reason given for the increase and questions directed to the people who do the checkin are to no avail. There was only one other unit at the park when we were here in first week of January.

We were in site 33 which has view of the water. All sites appear to be very large, but some are on angles and will require you to level your unit. There are 55 spaces and we were only one of two campers in park! This place is clean and QUIET. The hosts were especially friendly and helpful. We had no problem with the Wi-Fi. Can't say enough about the cleanliness of the restrooms; it was a 12 out of possible 10! We are already making plans to go back next year.

I'm sick and tired of them talking about rich Republicans. It doesn't make a difference who is rich. If you are too lazy to work for your money, then you don't need to get it.
The blind greed of unionism is the strong left hand of communism. And liberalism also contributes to communism. We've got to recognize the problem.
It is no wonder there is no room for patients and their families to park at Thomas Hospital. The employees take up the free parking instead of going to the employee area where they get a discount. I've watched them do it. Shame on you greedy people who make enough money that you could park in the employee area. Thomas should do something about this.
To the caller who said they wish Christians would keep their beliefs to themselves: We can't do that. Christians are called to go out in the world to tell people the news of Jesus to try to save as many souls as possible before the end of the world -- and it is coming pretty soon, folks.
I see where someone said they were surprised at the money spent by the Republicans on the election. They said it could have been spent on the poor. What about the millions that Hollywood spent on Obama? Oh, he bought the election with that.
In regard to the comment about the Occupy Wall Street movement helping the victims of Hurricane Sandy, the difference is that liberals like to give away tax dollars and spend other people's money. Check the statistics. Conservatives contribute way more to charity than liberals ever do.
Now with the upset of the state school board administration, the time is perfect to stop the union requirements of our teachers and of our administration. Eliminate the union representation once and for all, and let the administration instruct our teachers.
Please be advised, if we got a dollar for each time a person of color hollered "racism" on television, we could pay off the national debt.
Come on, man, the WVU uniforms should be gold and blue and not ugly gray.
I spent three cold days in Thomas Memorial Hospital last week. The nurse had to call maintenance downstairs to send heat to the room that didn't last very long. It was a miserable three days.
I want to know why the governor is allowed to have five Christmas bashes at the mansion at the taxpayers' expense.
I agree with the caller that didn't like snotty and snobby churches. And so did Jesus.
After watching some of the NASCAR Sprint Cup races, I have only one conclusion. Drivers who deliberately hit other cars should be fined heavily and suspended. Don't just give them a slap on the wrist and say that is part of NASCAR.

It is spicy, no doubt; aroma was good. But still we prefer other curries with tomato and coconut. Somehow we will finish this curry, but don't think we will do this again. Tamarind and vinegar give weird taste.
Its a great dish to use cauliflower in! infused with spices, the aroma fills in the house! lovely dish!

Rodd said she wasn't sure if the Park Service would allow trapping on the preserve. However, a subsequent Internet search of several preserves' websites showed that trapping is allowed on most of them.
The question of ginseng hunting caught Rodd by surprise; she said she "would have to talk the Park Service about that." As to ramp digging, she harbored a rather strong opinion: "I dig them too, so naturally I would want [that] to be allowed."
One of the more ticklish questions surrounding the preserve concept would be whether the state Division of Natural Resources or the National Park Service would have primary control of fishing-related issues.
In the New River Gorge National River, for example, DNR officials manage fisheries as they see fit. One sticking point has arisen, though. Park Service officials several years ago asked that non-native fish - rainbow and brown trout, specifically - not be stocked within the park's boundaries. Stockings continue to this day.
In the state's mountain highlands, trout fishing is a big issue. Most of the state's most popular stocked-trout streams and rivers are in the preserve area, and most of the fish stocked are rainbows and browns. Rodd said she didn't know whether DNR or Park Service policies would prevail.
"That's too technical an issue for me," she said.
Rodd said provisions to address any or all of sportsmen's concerns could be written into legislation that would establish the park.
"That's a long way off, though," she said. "The [upcoming] study is called a reconnaissance study. If it finds that the area is unique enough to be included in the national park system, a resource study would follow. And then there would be a period of time to write the legislation and get it passed. Park and preserve status is still years away."

Swing: unstabel window paint?
Good day everyone,
I have got a little problem with java/swing. When I create a window with JFrame, a JMenuBar and a JPanel the windows does not load well.
I only have got two windows which have both a JMenuBar and a JPanel. The main window has the problem that the JPanel does not load all the time and the about box (main window > JMenuBar > Help > About...) is sometimes too small, sometimes as big as the whole screen and sometimes the JMenuBar has space above it... The strange thing is that if you reopen the same window in the same session, it can look different and when you resize a window, you'll see it as it was meant to be..? I tried to repaint the components, but that did not help. So what did I do wrong?
In the attachment you'll find my source as well as the .class files.
I'm working on a ubuntu 10.4 system with
javac 1.6.0_20
java version "1.6.0_18"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.8) (6b18-1.8-0ubuntu1)
OpenJDK Client VM (build 14.0-b16, mixed mode, sharing)
Ow, It is for school btw. Not really homework, but an extra project. I only have had a single Java starters course and this is a product of one day reading all kind of tutorials, one half a day typing and testing and three days trying to solve this error.

I didn't read all of your code but I noticed that an AnaFoldMain extends an AbstractWindow which extends from a JFrame but it also has a JFrame. That doesn't sound right to me.
kind regards,

Hey Jos,
Thank you for you reply! It seems you were right.
I deleted "extends JFrame" and altered the rest of my code so that there were no errors when compiling and now it works fine.
Groeten, Jos (yea, thats is my name as well)

Civil War Re-enactment Presentation Sept. 30
In collaboration with the Oak Park River Forest Historical Society, "Illinois Soldiers in the Civil War" is a free presentation at 2 pm Sunday at the Main Library. Civil War re-enactors Brian and Daniel Flora will offer a multi-media program about those that responded from the state of Illinois.
In their presentation, Captain Daniel Flora and Private Brian Flora of Company A, 20th Regiment of Illinois Volunteer Infantry, will portray Union veterans who have just fought at the 1862 Battle of Shiloh, the first truly horrific battle of the war.
"One-third of all Illinois males (260,000) fought in that war; 35,000 died," says Oak Park resident Brian Flora. "The significance of Illinois' contribution to the Union victory has generally been under-appreciated.
"This presentation will showcase Illinois soldiers, not the details of the battles. We will focus on who they were, why they fought, what they wore, what they ate, where they went, and more. After all, it was the boys from Illinois (with a little help from their Midwestern friends) who won the war that preserved the Union," adds Flora.
About the 20th Illinois
"The 20th Illinois was a typical regiment of Illinois volunteers who 151 years ago answered President Lincoln's urgent call for volunteers," says Brian Flora. "Shortly after the fall of Fort Sumter on April 13, 1861, the Illinois legislature authorized the raising of ten additional infantry regiments, one from each of the state's nine congressional districts and one from volunteer companies assembled at Springfield. The 20th Illinois, initially 1,000 men strong, was one of these early regiments and fought hard throughout the war. In April 1862, it was in the thick of things at the bloody Battle of Shiloh, where it started the battle with 526 men and ended up with 390."

Hellcat- I happened to be reading an article about Forrest, and so thought back to this thread re: the "Firstest" and the : "Mostest." I pulled out a recent dictionary which is Webster's New World College Dictionary, Fourth Edition. (It says that it is : "The Official Dictionary of the Associated Press," not that that is anything to be particularly proud of). While I can't find: "Firstest," I can say that: "Mostest" does appear as a slang term. Its questionable that words spoken by Nathan Bedford Forrest almost 150 years ago had anything to do with it becoming recognized as a word, but for whatever reason, it is there now.

Recipe by GEORGIANA HOFFMAN
"Delicious, fresh and tasty! Serve as a side dish or top it on a baked potato or some rice."
Watch video tips and tricks
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 green tomatoes, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
2 celery, chopped
1 bunch green onions, chopped
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
I think this is an AWESOME recipe. I have already shared it with a few of my friends. I didn't have the celery on hand, however I used the rest of the ingredients. This is definitely a good way to use green tomatoes, and with such a tasteful result !!!
Kind of blah. It had a nice tartness to it, but no flavour to speak of. We ate it, but will find another use for green tomatoes in the future.

I substituted red peppers for the tomatoes, and yellow onions for green. It was delicious! And my fiance liked it even more than I did. This is going to be a staple for us.
Easy to make! Delicious! The vegetables can be varied; I have made this as written and with the addition of summer squash and zucchini. Thanks for the recipe!
I loved this recipe, but I did makangie ed alterations. I mixed red and green bell peppers, and used Visalia onions instead of green onions (it's all I had, people!) either way, turned out incredible. We seasoned with salt and pepper after cooking.
Very good, if you like veg, which I do!
I loved this recipe! I served it over spaghetti squash & got great reviews. Planned on having leftovers but there was nothing left to save!
This is good but seems to be missing something. I saved the leftovers and made an egg omelet which was delicious.

A debate lingers over how the Obama Administration has handled the Great Recession and its aftermath. Retired U-Mass Professor Richard Wolff claims what the country needed then, and now, is more fundamental change, to a form of business organization rooted not in capitalism, but in Marxist thought.
Corrections Commissioner Joseph Ponte said prisons in Maine are safer now than they were three years ago despite two homicides at the Maine State Prison in the past nine months and the recent attack of a program worker by three teenage inmates at the Long Creek Correctional Center. In a briefing with reporters, Ponte defended staffing and funding levels and a new system for tracking violent incidents.
The LePage administration today came forth with its plan to replenish the state's so-called "Rainy Day Fund," which lawmakers had tapped to restore funding to Maine's city's and towns. The governor wants the panel to approve the allocation of more than $21 million from an education spending account and from state retiree health insurance programs. Democrats on the Legislature's Appropriations Committee seem receptive to the plan, which would prompt the release of more than $100 million in voter-approved bonds which the governor had threatened to withhold.
Republican lawmakers in Augusta this week announced what they said is an alternative to an idea they don't like, the expansion of Maine's Medicaid program under the Affordable Care Act. Their plan would be to have the uninsured buy coverage on the online marketplace. About half of Mainers who would be covered under the expansion currently qualify for subsidies to purchase insurance on the marketplace for just a few bucks a month. But expansion proponents said that solution isn't as simple as it seems.
Paul Motian is recognized as one of the most influential drummers, percussionists and bandleaders in jazz. Motian first came to prominence as a member of the the legendary Bill Evans Trio in the early 1960s. The drummer, who lived alone in a rent-controlled, New York apartment for most of his life, had no children of his own, but was especially close to his niece, Thomaston artist Cindy McGuirl. When he died in 2011, Motian left his estate and life's work with McGuirl, who, has started a radio show dedicated to keeping her uncle's jazz legacy alive.
Less than a year after the Maine Legislature rejected bills that would have either eliminated or further restricted Medicaid coverage for methadone and Suboxone treatment, lawmakers are considering additional limits once again.
Environmental advocates are concerned that a decision this afternoon by Canadian Energy Regulators will pave the way for the arrival in Maine of so-called tar sands oil from Alberta - an energy source which they describe as much more toxic than conventional crude. The decision by Canada's National Energy Board allows for the reversal of a 400-mile stretch of pipeline leading to Montreal, enabling it to flow eastwards to Quebec. Tom Porter has more.
Maine's gambling industry came up big in the Maine House today, which gave initial approval to four different measures that would expand casino gaming all over the state. One would allow the Passamaquoddy Tribe to build a casino Downeast, and another would extend the same opportunity to the Houlton Band of Maliseet Indians in Aroostook County. A third gives the tribes more options for high stakes electronic beano games, and the fourth would permit slot machines at Scarborough Downs Harness Racing track in southern Maine. A.J. Higgins has more.
Six years into a state plan to charge ahead with wind development, the game may be changing. Gov. Paul LePage has put forth a bill that would shift the goal posts and redefine what the state expects from its wind projects. While the LePage administration argues that the state can and should switch strategies, pro-wind interests say the bill is just the latest attempt to tackle the industry before it can gain any yardage. Jennifer Mitchell reports.
Thursday is upon us, and that means it's time for another edition of "Across the Aisle," our weekly take on Maine politics, with our regular analysts Cynthia Dill, a practicing attorney and former Democratic state senator, and Dan Demeritt, political consultant and former communications director for Republican Gov. Paul LePage. They spoke with Keith Shortall.
The Maine Supreme Court has cast into doubt a business deal between a Canadian utility and a wind generating power company. The court has ruled that the joint venture between Canadian-based Emera and Boston-based First Wind should never have been approved by the Maine Public Utilities Commission because it applied the wrong standard. Patty Wight reports.
Democrats in the Maine Legislaure are advancing a plan to shut off funding for a controversial $1 million consultant's study that they say Gov. Paul LePage is using to reinforce his opposition to Medicaid expansion. Critics of the study say the consultant, Gary Alexander, was responsible for cutting Medicaid benefits while serving as a state department head in Pennsylvania. Republicans are dismissing the Democrat-backed bill as politically motivated, and say they expect LePage will respond with his veto pen. A.J. Higgins has more.
Millworkers and residents of East Millinocket turned out in force at the State House today to show their support for a bill that would allow Great Northern Paper Company to sell electricity generated by hydropower dams on the Penobscot River. The mill was temporarily closed in January as it looks to restructure. As Jay Field reports, the company cannot believe it can move forward without revenue from the sale of that power.
You might still hear about a UFO sighting or two in Maine - or maybe a report of a large beast in the woods. But it's much less common to hear modern accounts of the sea serpent. There was a time, though, when such sightings were much more common, and reported by upstanding citizens. In the latest installment of our occasional series, Maine's Hidden History, Maine Things Considered host Tom Porter turns once again to Portland historian Herb Adams.
As lawmakers began work Tuesday to close an estimated $100 million budget shortfall, Gov. Paul LePage hastily called a news conference to announce his own plan. The governor say she will offer a bill to restore the state's Rainy Day Fund to about $60 million. Last month, the Legislature withdrew about $20 million from the fund to head off cuts to municipal revenue sharing. As A.J. Higgins reports, the governor wants that money back.
The Maine Department of Corrections will conduct an internal investigation into the circumstances surrounding the stabbing death of 37-year-old inmate Micah Boland in his cell last Friday. Boland was tied up and stabbed 87 times in the face, neck and torso, according to an e-mail chain, inadvertantly included in a press release from the Maine Department of Public Safety. Jay Field reports.
The head of the Maine National Guard warns that federal spending cuts will leave Guard units chronically understaffed. In his annual State of the Maine National Guard address to the Legislature, Adj. Gen. James Campbell said the potential cuts to the Army National Guard put forward in the fiscal 2015 budget request will leave the organization at its lowest level of strength and combat capability in over a century - if not in its history. And, he said, the effects will touch Maine. Tom Porter reports.
It's tax season. And while all the consternation and calculations can yield tax refunds and credits, many Maine households still leave millions of federal dollars on the table. These are households that could claim the Earned Income Tax Credit - a credit that's designed to give low-to-moderate income individuals and families a financial boost and motivate them to earn higher incomes. Patty Wight visited an organization that offers free help with tax preparation to ensure that Mainers get the credits they've earned.
Lawmakers on the Legislature's Criminal Justice and Public Safety Committee bowed to constituent concerns today and rejected a bill that would have allowed deadly force to be used against inmates escaping from the Maine Correctional Center in Windham. Still, one Republican committee member says the policy is needed, and he plans to fight for the proposal later this month during debate on the House floor. A.J. Higgins has more.
A new study finds that Maine has one of the lowest rates of early elective deliveries for pregnant women in the nation. These non-medically necessary induced labors can cause health problems for mothers and their babies, yet by the mid 2000s, the practice had become increasingly common. As Patty Wight reports, recent efforts to put a spotlight on the issue have caused a dramatic drop in those numbers.
The ancient sport of arm-wrestling is enjoying a surge in popularity. A record number of people from across the Northeast - most, but not all of them, bulky males - turned out over the weekend for the Maine State Arm Wrestling Championships at a sports bar in South Portland. With nearly 150 pumped-up competitors - some of them world champions, some of them beginners - there was no shortage of adrenalin. Tom Porter was there and has this report.
Maine regulators have approved the creation of Maine's first virtual charter school. But the ability of Maine Connections Academy to open in September will depend on whether the school can meet a long list of conditions. And as Jay Field reports, the Legislature is also considering a bill that would place a moratorium on all virtual charters until 2015.
Despite initial resistance from some Republican members, the Legislature's Government Oversight Committee has authorized a possible inquiry into the activities of the state Department of Labor. The action follows a federal investigation that found fault with Gov. Paul LePage and his political appointees for appearing to pressure labor hearing officers to favor employers in unemployment appeals. Meanwhile, some Republicans say Democrats are trying to exploit the hearing officer issue for political gain in an election year, and are raising questions of their own about alleged bias within what's supposed to be a non-partisan policy staff at the State House. A.J. Higgins has more.
The Legislature's Government Oversight Committee today also voted to launch a review of the Department of Health and Human Services' day care licensing division. The move comes after former DHHS social workers gave lawmakers documents that revealed the department's failure to follow through on investigations of child care providers that were not meeting standards. As Patty Wight reports, there are concerns about procedures - and the culture - within the department.
When David and Robin Millward moved to Ogunquit, Maine, in November from London, England, they knew that getting health insurance coverage was a priority - perhaps even more of a priority for them because David has an hereditary heart condition. And so, like thousands of others residents of the Pine Tree State, they enrolled with Maine Community Health Options - one of the two health insurance companies available under the state's online marketplace. (The other one is Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield.) But the Millwards say their experience so far leaves a lot to be desired - and the company acknowledges that an unexpectedly high number of enrollees caught them off guard. Tom Porter has more.

With Lake Zurich officials anticipating a projected $771,572 deficit in the village's general fund, Trustee Terry Mastandrea said the board should reconsider allowing the utility tax to expire.
The utility tax is set to sunset on May 31. Mastandrea, who voted against approving the budget Thursday night, took some time to reiterate what he said at previous meetings about the spending plan. Mastandrea said that even if the board and staff work hard in the first quarter, the village still would come up short on money. He said if trustees chose not to sunset the utility tax, the village would be able to cover the projected $771,571 general fund deficit.
Mastandrea said staff should be allowed to try to find new revenue sources or places to cut, and then trustees can sunset the utility tax.
"Why would we give up funds that we can use to improve our infrastructure?" asked Mastandrea, who said the utility tax costs him about $3 per month.
Trustee Dana Rzeznik said she promised to sunset the utility tax and that trustees also need to think about the impact on local businesses.
"We have to think about the businesses in Lake Zurich. They use a lot of utilities, natural gas, and it's a huge burden on them," she said.
Trustee Jeff Halen agreed that the village should sunset the utility tax.
"This is revenue we do need, but it's also a revenue source that we told residents we'd look at ending if we got the , and we did," said Halen.
Trustees Rich Sustich and Jonathan Sprawka agreed.
"My position remains as it is in the past, that we should sunset it," said Sprawka.
All trustees agreed on one thing: that staff did a great job at putting together the budget.
"This was almost painless," said Rzeznik. She said while there still are tough decisions ahead, the budget process was "very transparent."
Halen agreed.
"I think that this was a much easier process, at least from a board perspective and I hope from a staff perspective, than we've seen in the past several years," he said.
Utility Tax to Sunset May 31
One trustee suggested holding off on sunsetting the utility tax to help cover a projected general fund deficit.

Big tannins, smoky wood notes and prominent fruit mark this wine, along with acidity and freshness. Its powerful, with the most gentle structure of concentrated dusty tannins and intensely-fresh blackberry-juice flavors. (4/ 2012)
This has muscle, but is fleshy and almost creamy along the edges, with a very dense core of plum, blackberry and cassis waiting in reserve. A sleek iron edge cruises in on the finish and adds some serious length. (4/ 2012)
Very pretty aromas of currants and blueberries with hints of flowers. Full body with silky tannins and a fruity finish. Refined. Very polished tannins. (4/ 2012)
(a blend of 82% cabernet sauvignon and 18% merlot; 80% new oak; a 50% selection for the grand vin; cropped at 30 hectoliters per hectare): Opaque inky-purple. Inky graphite and cedar notes complicate rich, deep cassis aromas on the refined nose. Youthfully chewy and tannic on the palate, with a saline mineral quality complicating the deep black fruit and smoky herb flavors. The long finish features a repeating mineral tang. (5/ 2012)
This splendid Pauillac estates 2011 exhibits an impressively saturated ruby/purple color as well as notes of spring flowers interwoven with creme de cassis, licorice and background incense and toasty oak. The tannins are firm and the wine is medium-bodied and rich with layers of fruit and extract as well as a long finish. An outstanding example of the vintage, it will need 3-4 years of cellaring and should drink well for 15-20 years. (90-92+) (4/ 2012)
*½+ 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Merlot. A big Cabernet vintage here. Red currant fruit aromas mix with spice and chocolate. Mocha flavors. High tannin from the very small grapes. Nice finish, with a long aftertaste. Very fine. Trey: Dark color, with lots of mocha and blackberry jam flavors. A very masculine style. A bit shut down in the middle right now, with big tannins and lots of structure. A success for the vintage. 91-93 points. AP: Mocha and spice on the intoxicating nose. Lead pencil and blackberry on the mid-palate. Shows great length and complexity with blue and black fruits that continually appear throughout the long, layered finish.

- 0Jan 18, '13 by saraschneiderQuote from Manders0624I got accepted in to the Nursing program for the Spring 2013 start for core courses. I am wondering if there is anyone else out there that will be starting with me? I will be attending the West Bend Campus!
I am one semester behind you. I am hoping to start in Fall at West Bend. I am studing for my NLN right now so my question is: How hard is the NLN? Is the book a good study guide? Did you do the practice tests and if you did was your NLN score close to the practice exams the book gives you???? Any imput you have is great, I'm a bit worried..... - 1Jan 18, '13 by Manders0624Hi! One of the best tips I got when I was taking the NLN was to relax, take deep breaths and plant yourself in the chair with your back in the chair and feet firmly planted on the ground. (Apparently it helps you relax). That being said, Myself along with many (many) of my fellow core students have had to take the test twice. It is definitely not an easy test. The first time I took it I studied for approximately 2 months before taking it and did not pass. I used the book that time. The second time around I study for 4 months off and on. At the one month mark I started studying 2-3 hours per day 7 days a week. I did 120 (I cannot remember my verbal off hand), way better the second time around... I truly believe it was all the studying I did along with the fact that I knew what to expect. The second time around I scored much, much higher (like almost 30 points higher). The second time around I did not use the book. I used Cliff Notes books for Chemistry and Physics (There is a whole lot of Chemistry and even more physics on the test. I did not spend a whole lot of time on Anatomy and Biology as I had been taking both Advanced A and P and Microbiology at the time so I studied stuff from my classes for that) and for the Math I got the Davis Math Review for Nurses Book. For the verbal portion I played a lot on Freerice.com. If you have any other questions feel free to ask.saraschneider likes this.
- 0Jan 20, '13 by saraschneiderDid you do the Practice Tests in the Red Book that they sell at the bookstore? If you did what were your raw scores on them?
- 0Jan 23, '13 by Manders0624Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. Classes have started and things are super busy plus my kids are sick. I did buy that book. I don't remember my exact scores on the practice tests but I do remember doing well on them no lower then 80% correct when I took them.
- 0Mar 7, '13 by saraschneiderI took the NLN last week and I passed, I was shocked, it was the hardest test I ever took. I just handed in my petition packet today so now I wait. How is the program going for you? Is the program as hard as everyone says???
- 0Mar 7, '13 by Manders0624It's going exceptionally well for me. My personal opinion as of right now that it is not as bad as I thought it would be so far. However that is not the same for everyone. You get what you put into it. If you stay on top of thimgs including reading it isn't bad at all. Ask me next semester though some one told me next semester is suppose to be harder.
- 0Mar 18, '13 by saraschneiderWhat type of supplies did you have to buy for the nursing program, not including books. I'm hoping to maybe purchase some items so it's not so costly at one time.
- 0Mar 18, '13 by Manders0624Did you get into the program? Besides books, which are by far the costliest part but you will use through out the program. I had to by scrubs that had the mptc logo on them, however they are changing the type I guess for next semester. You will need a stethoscope, a penlight and bandage scissors.
As far as stethoscopes you can order them from the student nurse club for a discount or watch allheart.com for sales. I got my stethoscope a litmann cardiology 3 from allheart for 160ish with engraving on it. Other then that you don't really need anything else. - 0Mar 18, '13 by saraschneiderThanks for the response. I didn't get my letter yet, I just sent the packet in next week. I was told by admissions with my grades and NLN score I would get in, it's just a matter of what campus. (I hope she is right). How long after you sent in your petition packet did you get your letter? Do they really take 45 days? The waiting is going to kill me.

Goodale Theatre
22 N. Seventh Street,
8 people favorited this theater

The Academy was a gem. The audience-stage relationship is almost unique in U.S. commercial legit theatres, which tend to be larger, with problematic sightlines. The first balcony was only 7 rows deep & offered a perfect view of the stage. The second balcony had a portion of the front center section removed to accommodate the image thrown by the Todd-AO projector from the booth at the rear of the first balcony. This was one of the best Todd-AO installations I have seen, with a deep curved screen in perfect proportion to the auditorium.
Conversion to movie roadshows described in this 1957 trade article: boxoffice
Only a few days short of its 101st Birthday, the old Shubert has reopened. Renamed the Goodale theatre, part of the Cowles Center, the theatre is now a mix of the old and new. One might call it the "incredible shrinking theatre". Built with 1,600 seats, in 1957 it was downsized to 800, and now has dropped to a mere 500. The second balcony, which was closed off in 1957, has been removed. Part of the back of the main floor has been converted into a coat room. The boxes, removed in 1957, were not replaced. Still it is an impressive venue. Although most of us may not be around in 2101, hopefully the Shubert, turned Alvin, turned Academy, turned Goodale will be.
The projector in the original Shubert/Alvin days was atop the second balcony. With the coming of Todd-AO in 1957 it was relocated to the back of the firt balcony. The second balcony was actually closed off at that time and never used again.
Just before the theatre was moved to it's new location I got tour of the place. The old second balcony not only still had it's seats (most likely 1910 vintage) and even the remains of an old projector.
Just an update work continues on the theatre. The new stage house is up. The front of the house has been cleaned and restored. It looks great.
Just a note, the house opened in 1910, so it will be re-opeoning around it's 101st birthday.
After a $2.5 million gift, the name of the Shubert will be changed to The Cowles Center.
According to the web page, the Shubert will finally be reopening in the Spring of 2011. That will be 101 years after it was beginning built.
The extensive 1957 remodeling of the Shubert Theatre into the Academy Theatre (which, according to the intro above "…was so completely refurbished it requires its own entry in the Cinema Treasures listings," was the work of the Minneapolis architectural firm Liebenberg & Kaplan.
Good for MSP. They seem to be saving their theatrical history.

Here is a page of photos from the Minnesota Historical Society:
The Minneapolis Shubert and the St. Paul Shubert both opened on the night of August 28, 1910. The St. Paul Shubert was designed by the Chicago architectural firm of Marshall & Fox. Although not certain there is a chance that the Minneapolis Shubert was designed by the same firm.
The Academy now boasts a Summer 2008 opening date as the Shubert Performing Arts Center. Last week, the building donned brown banners down the street-facing side of the vacant building. The Minnesota legislature apparently passed a bill which included $11 million for the restoration of the Academy, to be named the Shubert. It looks like the old lady will be back after all.
This and the World are shown in an old Husker Du video, "Makes No Sense At All." Even with the sad state of the exterior, one can see the beauty. I'm glad to hear it's being saved, any update on the restoration would be appreciated.
Shouldn't this theater have aka names of Shubert Theater and Alvin Theater. The address I found for this theater is 22 North 7th St. Here is a photo of the Alvin Theater.
A 1955 view of the side wall and part or the facade of the Academy, when it was the Minneapolis Evangelistic Auditorium, can be seen in the photograph of its former neighbor, the World Theatre at 16 N. 7th Street. The old "Alvin Theatre" sign can be clearly seen on the end wall of the Academy's stage tower.
To everyone in Minneapolis who has posted a comment on this page:
I'm currently making a documentary about people who try to save historic movie theatres called, "Preserve Me a Seat." I'll be coming to Minneapolis for a weekend to film in June and would love to interview people with comments/memories about this theatre and the efforts to save it. If you're interested in being interviewed or would like more information, please email me at:
Thank you.

The theater still awaits funding from the state bonding bill to commence with the renovation. Artspace is awaiting another session since this year no monies were alotted for the project (the new planetarium scored big though!) Alas, in another year we'll dance the bonding dance once more, hopefully for the last time.
Are there any recent developments in what is going on with the Academy today? And does anyone know the exact location it sits?
Saw Funny Girl there as a member of a farming town choir 'reward'.
Recall the curtains were very gilded; the screen was big and leaned back, as I guess the projector was upstairs.
It was all very close; unlike the Sound of Music at the Down town Mann; or anything I saw later in the big houses.

Trade creation
Part of a series on |
World trade |
Trade creation is an economic term related to international economics in which trade flows are redirected due to the formation of a free trade area or a customs union. The issue was firstly brought into discussion by Jacob Viner (1950), together with the trade diversion effect.
In the former case after the formation of economic union, the cost of the goods considered is decreased, leading to an increase of efficiency of economic integration. Hence, trade creation's essence is in elimination of customs tariffs on inner border of unifying states (usually already trading with each other), causing further decrease of price of the goods, while there may be a case of new trade flow creation of the goods between the states decided to economically integrate.
The opposite takes place in case of trade diversion, when the trade flow is diverted from actually cost-efficient partner state to less efficient one - but which became a member of economic union and made its goods cheaper within a union, but higher compared to the rest of the world. In practice, both trade creation and diversion effects take place due to formation of economic union. Efficiency of economic integration of specific union right now is assessed as a final outcome between trade creation and diversion effects: it is cost-effective in case of prevailing of the trade creation effects, and vice versa.
Occurrence of Trade Creation[edit]
When a customs union is formed, the member nations establish a free trade area amongst themselves and a common external tariff on non-member nations. As a result, the member nations establish greater trading ties between themselves now that protectionist barriers such as tariffs, import quotas, non-tariff barriers and subsidies have been eliminated. The result is an increase in trade among member nations in the good or service of each nation's comparative advantage. In other words, increase in trade causes greater revenues, (more profitable).
Downside of Trade Creation[edit]
The creation of trade is important to the nation entering the customs union in that increased specialization may hurt other industries. Arguments for protectionism, such as the infant industry argument, national defense, outsourcing, and issues with health and safety regulations are brought to mind. However, customs unions are typically formed with friendly nations, eliminating the national defense argument.

External links[edit]
- Regional Integration and Cooperation in Sub-Saharan Africa: Are Formal Trade Agreements the Right Strategy? - this Harvard Institute for International Development discussion paper from 1997 argues that "[T]here is little reason to expect significant economic gains from formal trade agreements at this time. Such agreements, in and of themselves, are unlikely to yield appreciable benefits unless they are preceded by decisions within member countries to follow more general open trade strategies." It summarizes the conclusion of empirical research that there has been "little, if any, impact on intra-regional trade" (i.e. trade creation) from developing nation customs union formation. Many possible reasons are listed for the lack of trade creation evidence, given that developed nation customs unions do seem to have "stimulated increased trade and economic growth".
- The dynamics of trade creation and diversion effects under international economic integration. Ravshanbek Dalimov. Current Research Journal of Economic Theory, 2009, vol. 1. - An article proposes to use similarity between dynamics of gas and liquid moving under pressure difference, and the dynamics of trade flows (output) moved under price difference. This allowed to use Navier-Stokes equation applied for the dynamics of gas and liquid towards the dynamics of inter-regional trade flows. An input of the method to analysis of the trade flows lies in direct linking of price and output dynamics, while Jacob Viner's analysis was classically static consideration.

5 iOS apps that make chores fun for your kids
Getting kids to do the chores is an exercise in frustration, as, unlike the good old times, everything has to be fun and games now. Try to instill that taste for discipline, hard work and selflessness called "taking out the garbage bag" in your 6-year old and you'll know what we are talking about.
A new breed of children apps (yes, there's an app for that too) is aiming to remedy the evolution's glaring omission in human upbringing called "the first seven years," by trying to make chores, well, fun and above all, a game. Kids these days learn to manipulate touchscreens on your phone or tablet before they learn to read and write, and if you can't take them away from the gizmos, it's time this addiction gets put into good use
They present the chores list in an entertaining way, and dole out incentives like bonus points which you can collect for cash, or, in this case, a trip to the ice cream parlor. Check them out in the slides below, and start having ideas.

Today's APPLifting Spiritual Wisdom: Pam and I had lunch yesterday at a little restaurant in old Louisville. We were discussing the condition of a friend and family member in a nearby hospital whom we were going to see following lunch. His condition had grown worse and his survival was in question. So, Pam, who's been recently reading "Dying to Be Me" brought up the whole question of death and what happens when we die.At one time, of course, I pretended to have all the answers. I confused my pretentious proclamations for genuine faith. They were not. I did not know it, however. Not at the time, anyway. Like many of you who regularly read the stuff I reflect upon, you were raised to believe a bunch of stuff and told over and over that believing the beliefs was faith. So, you tried hard to believe the "right" beliefs, mistakenly believing it was the beliefs that mattered. This is the core error made by virtually every religion in the world. They don't set out to make this mistake but the history of all religions reveals the same fundamental flaw - the confusion of faith for beliefs. Beliefs could only ever be the mental and verbal expression - and, therefore, limited and easily misleading - of a transcendent experience that is both inexplicable and indescribable. Real faith? What is it? I've been watching the leaves as they fall this fall. They are reminding me of faith. You are a leaf of faith. You cling not to a branch of belief; Where you fall, who could know? Where you go, who could know? What? You Know? The writer of Hebrews put it like this: "Faith is an assurance of what we cannot see" (Heb. 11:1). In other words, "faith is a Divine gift. It is the capacity to believe without belief, to know without knowing. To believe is written into your very DNA. Faith is, therefore, the capacity to know what cannot be known; to see what cannot be seen; to hear what makes no sound. No belief could ever make you a believer. You believe already. Let go. You'll see. This is the secret to happiness. |

Do electric utilities understand how to earn profits for shareholders in a competitive market?
Here's one way to look at the problem. Gather a group of financial experts and ask this question: If a company's long-term bonds are rated AA, and yield 8 percent, what minimum return would you require from dividend yield and price appreciation to induce you to buy that company's stock?
The typical expert will say 12 percent, indicating a 4-percent premium (or spread) above AA bond yields. This figure approximates the rates of return on common equity (about 3.4 percent above yields on AA-rated bonds) that regulators have allowed for electric utilities from 1986 to 1996, as compiled by Regulatory Research Associates. For companies with lower-rated debt, the spread would obviously be higher.
Today, with the advent of competition, the dam has burst. With the grass looking greener on the other side of the fence, utility managers are considering expansion. Some companies are sending other products over their existing lines and adding special related services. Others are concentrating on generation and power contracting. Still, companies can see more by spreading their wings with large investments in foreign utilities. All are caught up in a compelling rush to grow.
Unfortunately, the grass may not be any greener.
From 1981 to 1993, returns on common book value for unregulated businesses hovered at 4 percent above AA-rated bond rates, based on the
Standard & Poor's index of 400 industrial common stocks. (Since 1995, the spread has climbed above 12 percent, however.)
Utility diversification strategies are nothing new. In the not-so-recent past, utilities got into everything from
insurance to banking to real estate (em but largely with poor results. In the future, however, competition will raise the bar. To diversify successfully in a competitive arena will require a new understanding of maximizing shareholder wealth.
So What's Wrong With Earning
Your Cost of Capital?
Technically speaking, there is nothing wrong if a company earns its cost of capital. That means it is breaking even; consumers are sufficiently interested in the product to pay all costs. In fact, an unwillingness to pay all costs (including cost of capital), would indicate that capital was misdirected and wasted.
In this break-even example, the company's stock will sell in the long run at a price-earnings ratio equal to the reciprocal of the common cost and at book value. Such performance falls short of what is needed to maximize shareholder wealth. To do that, utility management must do two things: 1) earn a return above the cost of common equity, and 2) put more capital to work at that higher return.
High earnings without growth can improve shareholder wealth, but will not alone materially raise stock prices. Earnings above cost of common equity turns the company into a cash cow. It is the ability to put more capital to work at a higher return that really maximizes shareholder wealth.
Let Investors Take a Different View if They Want,
I Don't Care
Investors today tend to follow earnings per share. It is appropriate for them to do so because

From fast food joints to sit-down restaurants, eight made this week's Restaurant Ratings Report, and some may tempt your taste buds more than others.
The Fuji Buffet on Monroe Street is up against five violations. On Sept. 13, inspectors found a sink blocked by dishes, improper food temperatures, cookies uncovered in the dessert cooler, and raw fish being stored above broccoli.
Jing Chuan on Secor Road racked up eight violations. Inspectors found cooked chicken being stored in a raw chicken box, which had to be thrown out. There were also severely-damaged cutting boards, dirty equipment with leftover food on it, and a front door was propped open. The floors, walls and ceiling also need cleaned.
One McDonald's on Monroe Street had seven violations. A sticky fly trap was seen hung above the dish machine. There was also grease buildup visible, and broken, damaged flooring.
Another McDonald's, this one at 831 West Alexis, had six areas in need of improvement. This included a repeat violation: Employees wearing jewelry, as well as broken equipment in use, grease buildup, and a sink not stocked with soap.
Marco's Pizza, also on West Alexis Road, had a clean visit. No violations to report there.
Other bars and restaurants along West Alexis are also in the clear: J-Cups Pizza and Still Delaney's Lounge.
If you'd like to enjoy one last day of summer-like temperatures with an ice cream treat, Flurries on Lagrange Street is the place to do it. They had no violations, either.

Astatine is a rare radioelement belonging to the halogen group. Considering the trace amounts of astatine produced in cyclotrons, its chemistry cannot be evaluated by spectroscopic tools. Analytical tools, provided that they are coupled with a radioactive detection system, may be an alternative way to study its chemistry. In this research work, High Performance Anion Exchange Chromatography (HPAEC) coupled to a gamma detector (γ) was used to evaluate astatine species under reducing conditions. Also, to strengthen the reliability of the experiments, a quantitative analysis using a reactive transport model has been done. The results confirm the existence of one species bearing one negative charge in the pH range 27.5. With respect to the other halogens, its behavior indicates the existence of negative ion, astatide At-. The methodology was successfully applied to the speciation of the astatine in human serum. Under fixed experimental conditions (pH 7.47.5 and redox potential of 250 mV) astatine exists mainly as astatide At- and does not interact with the major serum components. Also, the method might be useful for the in vitro stability assessment of 211At-labelled molecules potentially applicable in nuclear medicine. |
