(CNN) - Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio's team will participate in a simulated school shooting as a training exercise, with help from a special celebrity guest, according to a statement.
Along with instructors, actor Steven Seagal will lead the simulation, to take place in the Arizona county on Saturday, February 9.
Seagal, who has made a name for himself headlining action movies such as "Above the Law" and Under Seige," will help educate 40 armed volunteers on room-entry tactics and hand-to-hand tactics, the statement says.
Since January, Arpaio, known for his tough stance on undocumented immigrants, has worked to put together what the statement refers to as a posse program to patrol the areas surrounding schools.
Seagal was featured in "Steven Seagal: Lawman" which according to IMDB followed his "adventures as a fully-commissioned deputy with the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office in Louisiana."

|Short road section after Fish Hatchery around mile 25
This was my fourth 100 mile race in ten weeks. The months leading up to the first one seemed slow until they began with San Diego 100 in June. Then it turned into a rush of race, recover, run, taper, repeat. I was more focused on Leadville with it and Bear 100 (in four weeks) as my goal races this year, so I put some time into the preparation, as opposed to my normal, "Uh, let's see, shorts, shoes, directions to the race, done." I even had a crew, a pacer (eventually two pacers), and clear goals.
A lot was going on for me the week of Leadville. I just quit my job, working my last day before leaving for the race, and planning on moving out of Colorado a couple days after the race. So, my brain power, limited to begin with, was stretched thinly. It did serve to keep me from getting nervous about the race. In fact, I can't think of one minute I was concerned about the run. As Karl says, "100 miles isn't that far." I'm beginning to see that. It was just another run. After Hardrock I'm afraid all 100s will be just another run. I'm not saying I was skipping lightly over the finishing miles of Leadville because it was so easy but, comparatively, I felt pretty decent, even during the low points.
|Dylan Bowman (2nd in 17:18) and me pre-race meeting
|Jeff Browning ready to put a hurtin' on people
|Jeff B.
|South African, Ryan Sandes pre-race meeting. Dude was exuding confidence and is a very nice, outgoing guy. I was very happy to see him win in such dominating fashion.
|Timmy Parr (left) and Duncan Callahan. Down to earth, former champions of Leadville.
Now we speed up the report (thank me later) and get on with the mundane details. My crew was Steve and Kathleen of Happy Trails. We've been friends for a few years now, since I moved to Colorado (the first or second time) and have shared miles of trails and mountains together. They're bright, cheerful, kind, and generous. One couldn't ask for a better crew. They may almost be too nice because I ended up spending no less than 1 hour and 35 mins in aid stations. Yes, 95 minutes out of my race was spent hanging out with them, cold wash cloths for my face, nice conversations about the race leaders, finding out how friends in the race were doing, talking about the section I just covered, where to park, everything. Conservatively and realistically, I could've easily hit my goal of a 19:30 finish had I made my stops more efficient but spending time with Happy Trails was a nice trade off. We had to go over certain things about the race leaders since Steve and Kathleen were covering the race for me and Inside Trail via Twitter, so I spent time going over the splits between the leaders, what they looked like, who was making moves, etc.
Brandon Fuller was kind enough to provide me with a place to sleep at his nice second home in Leadville. He ran into some serious issues late on the course involving dehydration and hypothermia and, unfortunately, had to drop. He took a gamble by taking it out hard but sometimes the heart of a lion isn't enough to carry you through everything these races throw at you. A heavy dose of respect is due. He'll be back just as strong and smarter.
I'm not big on race briefings. They tend to just be an opportunity for the race organizers to gush at the sponsors. Leadville's meeting is in an old gym downtown and is packed with over 1,200 people, generating increasing heat and carbon dioxide to the point of suffocation. Here's a quick video of the ordeal.
My race gear included:
Sleeveless shirt
Socks with toes
PI Fuel XC shoes (for the first 60 miles, then the big Hokas)
McDavid calf sleeves (can't live without them)
50 ounce hydration pack
Salt tablets
Power bar
Rudy Project Zyon sunglasses
Highgear watch
The race starts at 4am, an hour that can't really even be considered morning yet. We were underway with the boom of Ken's shotgun. It was cool but not cold and I was comfortable in my race singlet and shorts with just a light jacket and gloves. I settled into around 25th place as we trotted down 6th St to the long dirt road called the "boulevard", then the long, winding trail alongside Turquoise Lake making our way to the first aid station at 13.5 miles, Mayqueen. I arrived at Mayqueen in 1:52 where my crew filled my water pack, dropped my jacket and light, talked about how to recognize the leaders for the twitter updates, and I was on my way to the next section on the Colorado Trail leading to Fish Hatchery at mile 23.5.
|Zipping along the 4 mile road section just after Fish Hatchery around mile 25
|Making my way through the lumpy field at Winfield, the turn around point.
I weighed in at 145.6 (start weight was 148.7) in good shape. I took a very long time at Winfield, emptying my shoes, eating, cold washcloth, drinking, talking, laughing, saying hi to folks, generally wasting a lot of time and finally leaving about 18 mins after getting there. I left at the same time as Bob Sweeney, so we ran together for the length of the dirt road (4-ish miles) to the base of the climb up Hope Pass. As noted earlier, this side is very steep, especially at the bottom. I just put my head down and got into a rhythm, slowly leaving Bob and hauling ass to keep anyone from catching up to me.
I crested the top and dropped down the 600 or so feet to the Hopeless aid station, again letting out a yell. I felt great still and was flying down the upper section of the descent. Then I started feeling a little dizzy and weak and my quads were getting sore and wobbly. I was bonking from the effort on the previous climb. It's difficult to catch up on fueling and hydration on a long 3,000+ ft descent. All the jarring and bounding causes my stomach to cramp, bloat, and generally not feel so hot. Not far from the bottom I was passed by Brian Fisher and his pacer Todd Ganglehoff. They were all smiles flying down the trail, zipping by me while I was stopped to pee. I tried my best to keep a decent pace and reached the meadow at the bottom of the climb where the woman's leader and her pacer caught me just before the river crossing. I put my head down and grinded back up to them and passed them - got a bit of a second wind and cruised back into Twin Lakes (mile 60.5 now). I was in a bit of trouble with a major bonk. I changed shoes and socks, tried to eat, drank in about 250 calories of some mix I made, tried to relax and picked up my pacer, JT (Brownie). That stop took over 20 minutes and I was a good chunk behind my splits, like 50 mins off or so.
|Brownie and I climbing up out of Twin Lakes
We scaled the wall out of Twin Lakes and I was still trying to choke down a portion of sandwich Brownie made me take with us. I eventually just flipped it into the woods when Brownie wasn't looking. It's a good, long climb of about 3.5 miles and then turns into some great, rolling descents and flats where you can cruise along well. It took a while but I was starting to get some energy back and we were making good time. We reached Half Moon (mile 70) where I asked what place we were in (17th) and how long ago the previous runners came through (8 mins). Sweet, I knew that my asking those questions symbolized my desire to move faster and be competitive. We ran almost every step past tree line and onto the road section leading to Fish Hatchery. When I was feeling awful, I made a deal with Brownie that if he set his stopwatch on the dreaded road section, I would run 5 mins, walk 3, run 5, etc. When his watch beeped after 5 mins and he asked if I wanted to walk, I just kept running. The watch beeped again signaling another 5 mins passed and we kept running. The third time it beeped Brownie just said, "I'm just going to turn the timer off since it looks like we're not stopping." We caught 16th place about a mile before Fish Hatchery but behind us was Dan Vega, a great runner I just witnessed running a 15:30 100 miler on Antelope Island in March.
|Fish Hatchery Inbound (mile 76.5). Me talking with crewman, Steve and Brownie with Katie and demon dog, Holly.
At Fish Hatchery (mile 76.5) Vega entered the aid station just as we were walking out. We had grabbed our lighting since it would be dark at some point near the top of the next massive climb up Power Line. Because I took so damn long (again) in Fish Hatchery aid station, I was in 17th again with Vega charging up Power Line behind us. I enjoy running at night on trails and, unlike most, I get a boost of energy from it. I even commented to Brownie, "I love running at night so much, I think I'll do the Grindstone 100 next year (it starts at 6PM, so you run all night)." Brownie replied, "How can you even think about doing another 100 right now?" He was right, here I was over 80 miles into a race, feet and legs aching, stomach in knots and I'm planning my race season for next year... Once cresting all the false summits of Power Line, we eased into a nice run down the road leading to the single track of the Colorado Trail that lead to the last aid station, Mayqueen (86.5). I got a bit ahead of Brownie on the single track descent but we met back up near the bottom and popped out onto the road together. I entered Mayqueen and some guy came bursting in behind me, so now I was in 18th place. Damn. Brownie was a huge help and kept me motivated and focused from mile 60-86.5 (he had raced the Pikes Peak ascent THAT morning too, so a full 40 mile day of mountain running for the boy).
At Mayqueen I changed into a long sleeve shirt, ate some salty soup, picked up my new pacer, Tim Waggoner (Lucho) and was off in pursuit of the finish line. I paced Lucho last year from mile 50 to 100 at Leadville and he had a rough time over the last 13.5 miles, walking slowly the last 7-8 miles, so both of us were intent on making up for that this time. Lucho was amped up, "wanna hat? a jacket? wanna gel?, wanna third light?, wanna Red Bull shooter?" My only response was, "I want this trail to be done." [meaning the trail along Turquoise Lake]. We made our way along the endless lake and spotted headlamps of the next competitor in front of us just before we got to the road. We passed them and were now in 17th. Then we saw headlamps up in front again. We held back just a bit and followed them up the road, and back onto the short trail that lead to the "boulevard" (the 3-4 mile dirt road leading to 6th St and the finish). We passed those guys along that trail and I started picking up the pace but Lucho whispered to "ease back", so I did. It was smart; keep running but easy enough to have some power left if needed. It wasn't really needed. We were now in 16th. Shortly after that we came up to the next runner barfing on the side of the road. Now I was in 15th and content to hold that position. We cruised up the boulevard to 6th St and I ran it in to the finish for 21:04 and 15th overall. Lucho will be pleased to learn that my chip time was 20:59:52, since he was slightly hinting that we should try to go under 21hrs but, at the time, the math for me to do that was just not adding up. I guess they must have used the "gun time" as 4am and we actually started crossing the line to start at 4:04am.

|Ryan Sandes accepting his overall winner award
With Lifetime Fitness as the new race owner there were polar shifts in the differences in certain regards. The electronic chip timing was pristine; every aid station had mats to run over for a split time. The course may have been over marked, if that's possible. I appreciate the work that went into the race this year but am not certain whether I like it better than the grit and self reliance of a race like Bear. Leadville doesn't look bad on paper but it's a sneaky monster that lures you into running too fast for the first 40 miles then kicks you in the teeth with a double climbing of Hope Pass. The altitude doesn't help much either. It was a hard earned finish but I have the Bear 100 to focus on next month.

Yeah, I'm officially worried about the team's defense. But man, am I pumped about Winston.
Now lets see how we handle NC State. Do you want to be a great team? Then stay consistent. Take care of your business against inferior competition. Great teams only lose to other great teams they dont get clipped by unranked squads. FSU has had far too many of those in the last several years.

CNHI News Service
FRANKFORT, Ky. — The American Civil Liberties Union says some Kentucky public schools have allowed Bibles to be given to students during school hours, and it is warning school districts to end the practice or risk a lawsuit.
In a letter sent this week, the Kentucky chapter of the ACLU claims that The Gideons International has been giving Bibles to students for years in some elementary schools, and few districts had policies governing who is allowed to pass out items to students.
The ACLU contends that allowing the Bible giveaways violate the First Amendment, which prohibits laws respecting an establishment of religion. The letter urges school districts to adopt a policy to prevent a court challenge.
The ACLU's investigation was prompted by reports from parents, spokeswoman Amber Duke said.
"We had been going on a case-by-case basis by contacting the districts and sending letters outlining the law and constitutional issues," she said.
One of the complaints was from a parent of a child in Worthington Elementary School in the Raceland-Worthington district, near the Kentucky-Ohio border, Duke said. The parent contacted the ACLU in November 2012, saying representatives of the Gideons were allowed in the classroom to give out Bibles.
"It had been a tradition," said Raceland-Worthington School District Superintendent Larry Coldiron. "Whether it was right or wrong, it had been allowed to go on for years in our school system."
Based on its open records requests, the ACLU contends the Gideons "intentionally exploited districts' lack of a centralized decision-maker for these types of requests by specifically instructing its members to seek approval for their in-school Bible distribution efforts 'at the lowest level of authority and progress higher only as may be required.'"
The ACLU also said the Gideons discouraged members from seeking school-board approval "because of the potential for unfavorable publicity by the news media."
Several schools districts, including the Raceland-Worthington District, have already made policy changes.
"We respect parents' wishes on the distribution of that type of material. Whether we agree with it or not, we have to follow the law," Coldiron said. "We have to take our own personal beliefs out of it."
The ACLU says the practice continues in other districts, and it warns that any future complaints could lead to a lawsuit.
Details for this story were reported by The Daily Independent in Ashland, Ky.

St. Petersburg was the capital of the Russian Empire for over 200 years. Peter the Great's "Window on Europe" is known as Russia's artistic and intellectual center. Tour the many cathedrals, including St. Isaac's Cathedral, with floors of different-colored marble and a remarkable array of frescoes; and the iconic Church of the Savior of the Spilled Blood. Noteworthy historic sites include The Peter and Paul Fortress, the first edifice built in the city and final resting place of the Romanovs; and, further afield, the remarkable Peterhof palace. For cultural perspective, take in a ballet and the world-class Hermitage Museum. To complete your Russian experience, take a day trip to Moscow or a half-day trip to Catherine's Palace in the countryside.
As shore excursions to be offered in this port are not yet confirmed, below is a list of those offered previously. We make every effort to have excursions finalized at least 240 days in advance of sailing, and often sooner, so please check back regularly.
St. Petersburg is very famous for its rich theatrical life. Like the city itself, the art of Russian classical ballet having absorbed foreign traditions, created its own prominent world-renowned style. Russian rulers and aristocracy took a deep interest in ballet, encouraging and supporting construction of theaters in St. Petersburg. In old times, the nobility often used to have their own private theaters in their estates. Today, this northern capital has a large number of exquisite 19th century theatrical buildings. There are more than 100 theaters in the city, and every day dozens of them give performances. Several theaters in St. Petersburg are world famous, such as the Mariinsky Theatre, Imperial Theater on the Fontanka River, Alexandrinsky Theatre, Musorgsky Opera and Ballet Theater and many others. Prestigious theatrical festivals are held regularly in St. Petersburg.
Ballet is an integral part of Russian cultural tradition. The development of Russian choreographic art began more than two and a half centuries ago. Brilliant choreographers such as Marius Petipa and Mikhail Fokin staged here the best of world ballets. The talents of many generations of ballet dancers were revealed in St. Petersburg theaters - Anna Pavlova and Vaslav Nijinskij, Mathilde Kschessinska and Olga Spesivtseva, Galina Ulanova and Rydolph Nureyev, George Balanchin and Mikhail Baryshnikov to mention just a few. The World-famous composers such as Tchaikovksy, Glinka, Mussorgsky and others wrote heavenly music to accompany ballet performances.
This wonderful tour affords you the opportunity to experience the marvelous theatrical world of St. Petersburg. Few cities in the world can boast such an incredible cultural heritage.
Arriving at the theater, you will be provided with a ballet program and escorted to your seats. Soon the curtain will go up and you will enjoy one of the greatest romantic ballets of all times. The repertoire of St. Petersburg theaters consists mostly of world recognized outstanding ballets like Swan Lake, Nutcracker, Giselle or Sleeping Beauty. All of these ballets have enjoyed an enduring popularity for over a century and half and can be found in the repertoire of virtually every classical ballet company in the world. During the performance, you will no doubt be deeply moved by a timeless love story told in the mysterious language of classical dance.
Russian sparkling wine and mineral water will be served during the intermission. Following the performance, you will be transferred directly back to the ship.
Please note: While every attempt will be made to secure lower level, center seats or seats together with your traveling companion(s), seating location is not guaranteed.

Where are they now? Dave Burba
Former Indians right-hander ready to get back into game
CLEVELAND -- Dave Burba didn't have a 98-mph fastball nor the pinpoint control or a pitcher like Greg Maddux. Nevertheless, he made it work for 15 seasons with six different teams, notching far-from-shabby results, before he faded away in 2005.So, perhaps, a little time away from the game was in order for the 42-year-old Burba, who now has all the time he wants with the wife and three kids he saw so little of while toiling in the big leagues. "Actually, it's not," Burba said. "I'm actually bored." Burba, who resides in Gilbert, Ariz., doesn't beat around the bush: He's itching to get back in the game. Not as a player, of course, but Burba said he is open to anything. Well, not everything. Burba said he was recently offered a coaching job with a low Class A team, but couldn't do it because it would have kept him too far from his 14-year-old daughter, Beth, and his two younger sons, Dylan and Dawson. But the fire is still burning. "To this day, I miss it," said Burba, who recently finished filming his acting debut in an upcoming movie and is in the process of earning his insurance license. "I loved it. I wished I could still do it, but I don't lose sleep over it or anything. I had fun with it." Burba's still having fun. He's one of the coaches on Dylan's Little League team.

3rd Grade Gardeningfrom Melissa Downs
"We have been using Wednesday afternoons to prepare and plant our garden. Each student had three square feet of space and chose three different vegetables to plant. Before we ever put seeds in the garden, we tilled the soil, added some soil amendments, and built little one-foot fences to mark out the different garden plots. Then we planted our cool weather vegetables – carrots, peas, broccoli, cabbage, lettuce, beets, radishes, and onions. And just before spring break, we were rewarded with the sight of many seedlings!"

How are Waldorf Schools and Montessori Schools alike/different? I love this question because I love the story that answers it. Legend has it that Maria Montessori and Rudolf Steiner met after the first World War to discuss how best to heal society after such devastating tragedy. Both scientists and philosophers, they agreed that education of the future generation was the key for a healthy future. Montessori felt that in Italy, all people ever did was feel, feel, feel, and they never THOUGHT about ANYthing. Steiner felt that people in Germany engaged in plenty of thinking, but it wasn't permeated with any FEELING. So, they each created an educational method that provided balance in their respective societies.
6th/7th Grade Spanish - Jose Marti
Senora Mixon took advantage of a call for artwork surrounding the topic of the White Rose, a nonviolent resistance movement in Germany during World War II. Students translated Jose Marti's poem, "I Cultivate a White Rose," and then completed artistic renderings using pastels. Children ages 3 to 18 years have sent in artistic responses to the theme of the courage to stand alone in the face of unjust practices.

On the last Thursday in May, AWS celebrated its 4th annual graduation ceremony in the beautiful sanctuary of East Lake United Methodist Church. It was a lovely evening, and watching the 8th graders was yet another reminder of why I, especially as a developmental psychologist, truly love Waldorf education— it celebrates meaningful rites of passage deliberately and by design.

Cardiff City defender Juan Cala has requested a personal hearing for his improper conduct charge from the Football Association (FA).
The 24-year-old was punished in the aftermath of Cardiff's demoralising 4-0 defeat at Sunderland last weekend, that loss leaving the Welsh club rooted to the bottom of the Premier League and two points adrift of safety.
Cala - who joined Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's squad from Sevilla in February - received a straight red card and conceded a penalty for pulling back Sunderland striker Connor Wickham.
The FA subsequently charged the Spaniard for an incident near the tunnel after the game, with Cardiff announcing on Friday that he wants a personal hearing.
"Juan Cala has requested a personal hearing with the FA in relation to his FA misconduct charge, the date to be confirmed," the club posted on their official Twitter account.
Cala's dismissal will see him miss Cardiff's crucial last two fixtures of the season.
Cardiff will be relegated from the Premier League if they fail to beat Newcastle United on Saturday and at least one of Norwich City, Sunderland or Fulham win.

At Google Mountain View, our global headquarters located at the heart of Silicon Valley, we make products for hundreds of millions of users around the world that change the ways they create, share, communicate, collaborate and do business.
Our products include Google Search, Google+, Gmail, Calendar, AdWords, AdSense, Android, Chrome, Maps, Music, Earth, News, Wallet, Blogger, Scholar, Trends and more.
Our search engine processes a billion search queries per day.
More than 250 million Android devices have been activated worldwide.

Inside Google Mountain View (Global HQ)
In 1997, popular search engines consisted of endless, curated lists of URLs. In 1998, Google Search launched.
We've come a long way since then. From two founders and one employee working out of Susan Wojcicki's Menlo Park garage, we've grown to fill a large Mountain View campus we call the Googleplex. We've also expanded to offices throughout the region to offer a variety of bay area jobs. We work on products galore, like AdWords, AdSense, Android, Apps, Chrome, Google+, Maps and YouTube. And Googlers leapfrog from positions in California to opportunities in our offices around the world, including New York, Zurich, Tokyo and many others.
Our mission is still the same: to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful. For our South Bay roles, as with all our offices, we hire smart, passionate people and empower them to think big and act on opportunity from the day they come on board. We're proud of our campus culture, which is unique among Silicon Valley companies. Since our founding, we've had weekly TGIF gatherings where we can ask senior management anything we want, and the conversation can veer from a product launch to a founder's facial hair.
Google offers many different jobs around the bay area and the Googleplex is home to scores of buildings, each with its own personality. With hundreds of bikes and scooters at our disposal, getting around campus is easy. There's beach volleyball, a bowling alley, a climbing wall, over 25 cafeterias, more than 100 micro-kitchens and seven fitness centers. Add in Google Doodles and April Fool's jokes like AdSense for Conversations and Gmail Motion and all the fascinating visitors to campus (Lady Gaga, Barack Obama…), and it's easy to feel like we're back in college.
Ready to change the world? Join us at Google and do cool stuff that matters.
Google's always believed that the right people can do big things. That's why we treat our people so well: so they can concentrate on innovating and collaborating.- Stacy Sullivan, Chief Culture Officer
Google Mountain View (Global HQ): Frequently Asked Questions
What's the best thing about working at Google Mountain View?
We get to go beyond talking about changing the world to actually doing it, working on really big problems with unparalleled technical resources. With awesome perks like free shuttle bus service from around the Bay Area (with WiFi!), on-site doctors and generous new-parent policies to Café Jia (which serves Asian food) and Café 150 (which sources all its ingredients from within 150 miles of the Googleplex), we're also treated really, really well.
We expect a lot of ourselves, but don't take ourselves too seriously. Our voices count, down to the newest Noogler's. We understand that innovation is born of diversity, and hire accordingly. We get to work on a range of products and projects – even change careers completely – and travel the world for meetings or job assignments. We scale good ideas incredibly quickly. Our engineers can build a career doing hands-on engineering – they don't have to move to management to get ahead.
What kind of work do you do at Google Mountain View?
The Googleplex is our corporate headquarters, so we do it all, from engineering to sales, marketing, finance, legal, corporate communications and HR. Our products include Android, Chrome, YouTube, Google+, Search, Ads and Commerce and Local. We're also always thinking about the long term and looking for new areas for innovation (self-driving cars, anyone?).
What's a TGIF?
It's a "thank goodness it's Friday" celebration, our version of an all-hands meeting (read: there's beer and snacks). Because transparency has always been central to Larry and Sergey's vision for Google, we've been having TGIFs since the very beginning. Back then, they felt more like campfire storytelling sessions than corporate gatherings. That's not quite possible these days, but at their heart our TGIFs remain the same, bringing together Googlers from across the company every week and giving them a chance to share what they're up to – and to ask our founders anything they want. And we do mean anything.
Are there any famous Mountain View Googlers?
So many that it'd take pages and pages to name them all. Our founders, CEO Larry Page and Sergey Brin, are both based here. There's Peter Norvig, who co-wrote Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach. Our Googlers include creators of programming languages like C, Java, Python, Unix and VIM. Andy Rubin's pretty famous for his Android work.
Have any famous people visited the Googleplex?
Barack Obama, John McCain, Tina Fey, Lady Gaga, Rachael Yamagata, Michael Franti, David Beckham, Lawrence Lessig, Thich Nhat Hanh, Conan O'Brien, Christopher Hitchens, Henry Kissinger, George Soros, Michael Bloomberg, Hillary Clinton, Dane Cook, Kristi Yamaguchi, Rob Corddry, Rainn Wilson, Douglas Rushkoff, Salman Khan, James Gleick, Deepak Chopra, Garry Kasparov, Alice Walker, Condoleeza Rice, Tony Hsieh, Natan Sharansky, Neal Stephenson, Neil Gaiman, Amy Goodman, Eve Ensler, Mumford and Sons, Alice Waters, Ray Kurzweil, Michael Lewis, Jeffrey Sachs, Earvin "Magic" Johnson, Eric Ripert, Michael Tilson Thomas, Bernard-Henri Levy, Daniel Ellsberg, Dale Chihuly, Gary Vaynerchuk and Michael Pollan. And that's the short list. Our very own Chade Meng-Tang (a.k.a. "Jolly Good Fellow") has had his picture taken with nearly all of them. Googlers and visitors can check them out on the Great Wall of Meng.
How does Google Mountain View help the community?
Through GoogleServe, our Googlers volunteer at the Exploratorium, participate in beach cleanups and help out at local schools. We work with thousands of nonprofits, helping them spread their message and raise money using Google products. Our 2011 grants in STEM and girls' education, empowerment through technology and anti-slavery and human trafficking totaled $40 million. Google for Veterans and Families brings together Google products and platforms for service members and their families. We invest heavily in clean-energy businesses and initiatives. And we hold all kinds of events to support the developer community. Google I/O is our signature event; in 2012, it sold out in just over 20 minutes.

Flu cases are surging at Milwaukee-area hospitals

Winter weather warm-up puts kibosh on many outdoor activities
Horse sleighs are likely to be grounded this weekend at a rally in Ashland, and the Kickapoo Valley Reserve's Winter Festival will probably ax sled dog races and cross-country skiing.

Staskunas to run for board seat of man who replaced him in Assembly
In a case of political musical chairs, former Democratic state Rep. Tony Staskunas is seeking the Milwaukee County Board seat of Joe Sanfelippo, the supervisor who won Staskunas' old West Allis Assembly seat in the November election.
Staskunas, a 16-year state lawmaker and attorney, decided not to seek re-election to the Assembly after the Republican-controlled redistricting plan changed boundaries to add portions of Republican-leaning New Berlin to his district. That also created an opening for Sanfelippo, a conservative, who ran and won as a Republican. »Read Full Article
