Northern Trust today announced it has successfully completed the implementation and integration of Commonwealth Superannuation Corporation (CSC) onto its technology platform.
Northern Trust was appointed to provide master custody and related services to the AU$26bn fund in late 2011 and during the past year completed the transition of CSC's custody arrangements.
CSC was established in July 2011 as the result of a merger between the Australian Reward Investment Alliance (ARIA) and the Military Superannuation and Benefits (MSB) Board.
During the past year Northern Trust also implemented a restructure of the ARIA Investment Trust and completed 30 June 2012 year-end reporting.
Rohan Singh, Managing Director Northern Trust Australia, said: "Northern Trust's ability to deliver a range of online services and provide clients such as CSC with access to data for exposure and transparency purposes is key to managing risk on a real time basis."
"Northern Trust continues to develop innovative solutions and looks forward to delivering significant value to CSC and all its clients in Australia and New Zealand as they navigate a period of significant change and an environment of increased regulatory oversight."
Leonie McCracken, Senior Executive Operations at CSC said Northern Trust has provided CSC with a truly global asset servicing solution. "The advantages of the service capabilities that we saw during the period of due diligence are being delivered. Northern Trust's online web portal, Passport, assists CSC to manage daily operational risk in an automated manner. In addition, the fully integrated tax system is providing accurate and fully optimised tax reporting."

Furlough information provided during town hall meetings
HANSCOM AIR FORCE BASE, Mass. – Workers set up the Aero Club Hangar March 20 in preparation for Town Hall meetings March 21. During the meetings, base leaders provided information on furloughs as it relates to Hanscom's appropriated fund civilian population. (U.S. Air Force photo by Rick Berry)

Furlough information provided during town hall meetings

3/22/2013 -
HANSCOM AIR FORCE BASE, Mass.
-- Hanscom leaders conducted Town Hall meetings March 21 to provide detailed information on furlough as it relates to Hanscom's appropriated fund civilian population.
Installation Commander Col. Lester A. Weilacher and other Hanscom senior leaders briefed the civilian population on what the potential furlough means for civilian employees. The Airman and Family Readiness Center also provided information on helpful programs and resources for those impacted by the potential furlough.
If it becomes necessary to furlough employees, proposed notifications could be issued between today and March 26, Weilacher said during the sessions.
Moments after the second session concluded, the Department of Defense announced that furlough notices to civilian employees would be delayed until on or about April 5 in order to analyze pending legislation. Further information about the delay can be found at
If the potential furlough becomes a reality, Hanscom will furlough employees Friday of each week. Exceptions to the Hanscom Friday furlough day plan are expected to be rare, with requests approved at the program executive officer/deputy PEO, local functional director or 66th Air Base Group commander or designee level, said Kathy Owens, chief of Employee and Labor Relations.
Compressed Work Schedules will be temporarily suspended during the duration of a furlough while flexible work schedules will remain unaffected. Telework and participation in the Physical Fitness Program also remain unaffected.
There will be no approval for overtime, compensatory time or credit hours during the duration of a furlough, except for those organizations that had obtained prior Air Force-approved emergency exceptions, Owens said.
In addition, movement of personnel during the period of the furlough will require mission justification and approval.
Bargaining obligations have been satisfied with NAGE Local R1-8 and are on-going with NFFE Local 1384, according to Owens.
"Individuals who are on extended leave without pay or part-time work schedules will be contacted by a representative of the Civilian Personnel office to discuss their work situation and how it will be impacted by a potential furlough, if it does become a reality," Owens said.
Leaders and personnel specialists both warn that working during furlough time is legally prohibited.
"Working on a furlough day could result in disciplinary action against both the supervisor and employee," said Owens. "Supervisors must ensure furloughed civilians do not work from home or on-site, officially or unofficially, on their furlough days. This means that employees are legally prohibited from checking their Blackberries or using their Air Force issued laptops while on furlough."
Additional information about sequestration and furloughs can be found under the Civilian Workforce Information section of HanscomNet at
. This link provides a special section where employees can gather information and submit questions regarding furlough. The Hanscom public website,
, also provides a direct link to the AFMC furlough information at
Employees are encouraged to check the Q&A section on the Civilian Workforce Information section of the HanscomNet periodically, as it is being updated frequently, Owens said.

"Favor the Bold" ep something bothers me

Fleet Captain
Location: The Captain's Table
Re: "Favor the Bold" ep something bothers me
Garak had earned (to a certain degree) the crew's trust by the time "Favor the Bold" occurred. There were numerous instances in which Garak commented that people seemed much more comfortable around him during the previous season, so it's not a stretch to believe Sisko would allow him to man one of the bridge stations in a combat situation. It's not as though Garak had anywhere else to go if he betrayed Starfleet, as Dukat would have had him killed had he tried to defect to the Dominion.
What's more, he would almost certainly not have been accepted on Bajor, and it's not clear how the Romulans would have reacted to his presence. They had a non-aggression pact with the Dominion, but they may have made an exception for Garak due to his role in the botched Tal Shiar-Obsidian Order mission to the Gamma Quadrant three years before.

Members of the football team vote on whether to unionize. Dave Miller
EVANSTON, Ill. — Scholarship players on Northwestern's football team cast their votes on Friday morning at McGaw Hall on whether to be represented by a union. However, the result of their votes is not supposed to be released until the school's appeal on whether the players can unionize is heard by the National Labor Relations Board.
An e-mail sent by Wildcats head coach Pat Fitzgerald to his players showed that he believes players do not need a union. Earlier this spring, quarterback Trevor Siemian also voiced his opinion that players don't need a union. Some supporters of the union movement fear that some NU players may have been pressured to vote 'No.'
Of course, all eyes are on Evanston today because a regional director of the NLRB ruled in March that Northwestern's scholarship football players are university employees. NU appealed that ruling to the NLRB's national office, which agreed to review the case. The ballots cast today by the scholarship players are supposed to remain secret until the NLRB rules on the appeal, and the timetable of the appeal is unknown. It could be days, weeks or potentially even months. But, no matter the result of the union vote or the appeal, Friday will go down as a landmark day in the history of collegiate athletics.

Oostburg House Rental Photos and Description
House, 3 Bedrooms, 2 Bath, (Sleeps 6)
October is a fantastic month to visit. The Lake and weather can be warm. The views can be spectacular. Don't overlook this less expensive option to get away!
The serenity of your own private sandy beach is just steps from the deck, its uniquely soft sand rivaling the best of the tropical islands.
Your lovely home-away-from-home was fully renovated in 2008 and features unobstructed, Breathtaking views of Lake Michigan through expansive floor-to-ceiling windows.
The cozy master bedroom awakens to the warmth of Eastern and Southern exposure, perfect for watching majestic sunrises over Lake Michigan while you snuggle in bed.
As you rise to greet the new day and gather in the comfort of the spacious living and dining area, sunlight dancing on the waves seems to draw you through the sliding glass doors out onto your deck, then onto the beach, then into the lake.
The open plan living space truly inspires togetherness and creates lasting, happy memories for all to share.
High speed wireless Internet and cable TV keep you in touch with the real world . . . if you really want to.
Wouldn't you rather . . .
Stroll leisurely along the shore for miles in each direction . . .
Enjoy the sublime sunrise, the marvelous moonrise and the starlit skies from the peaceful tranquility of a your private deck . . .
Build sand castles with the wee folk . . .
Savor the flavor of your favorite meal as you dine under the stars . . .
Warm up the cool evenings around a crackling fire on the beach . . .
Drift off to sleep listening to the sound of waves crashing against the shoreline . . .
While you can enjoy the convenience of a having your own modern kitchen. If you want to leave the cooking to the pros, both fine and casual dining are available nearby in Sheboygan and Kohler and a good local restaurant 'Judi's' in town.
Enjoy fun for the whole family at Blue Harbor indoor water park in Sheboygan.
Golf at Whistling Straits, Blackwolf Run, The Bull, The Bog, and many more!
Pamper yourself at the luxurious Kohler Waters Spa with treatments available for both men and women.
Upscale shopping, antiquing, bike trails, Lake Michigan fishing charters and Road America are all within easy 15-20 minute drives.
Fall always brings a stunning collage of foliage color to the area and hiking our three beautiful state parks are a lovely way to take it all in. Kohler-Andre, Harrington Beach, and Kettle Moraine State Parks are all conveniently located.
In the winter, you can hike, cross-country ski or mountain bike along the Lake Michigan shoreline.
The home has 3 bedrooms (sleeps 6) and two full bathrooms (showers only). It features a rustic knotty pine interior, ceramic tile floors and ceiling fans throughout.
The master bedroom faces the lake and has a king bed and flat screen TV. The second bedroom, with a queen bed, is located on the North side and has a nice view of the lake through the trees. The third bedroom has two twin beds and a view of the backyard and woods.
As a one level ranch house with are few stairs, the home is accessible to folks who do not walk well, but there are 8 stairs as you walk up to the house from the driveway.
Continuous improvements made since the renovation have only enhanced its appeal as a cozy retreat in any weather in any season.
This home offers the best accommodations for serenity, tranquility and quality time with guests. It may be the closest home to the water's edge, providing easy access for enjoying the lake with family and friends.
Some homes for rent have quite a walk to the water's edge from which also has advantages but can be problematic if watching children or dining near the water.
Many guests return every year so don't wait 'til it's too late.
Come visit the Best Beach House now, eh!

Megan Chadwick
I grew up in different parts of Michigan and central Illinois so the connection to the small farming town of Oostburg is special for me. I come to unwind in all seasons, living my life at a much slower pace than usual. It affords me a much-needed respite from the cares of the every day. Life can be hectic and I am certain to feel relaxed as soon as I pull into the tree-lined drive. I enjoy the peaceful comfort of this cozy house with its ever changing, yet always extraordinary views. The charming little neighborhood, delightful community and friendly townsfolk consistently bring a smile to my face.
I enjoy driving the local country roads and seeing horses, cows, green fields, harvesting of crops. Reading my latest book with my toes digging in the warm sand or walking barefoot along the beach, waves lapping upon the shore. Yet I can also be content whiling away the hours enjoying the antics of different bird species -seagulls busy themselves feeding in the shallow ripples, cardinals flit from tree to tree or Canadian honkers, majestic as they fly in tight formation along paths closely adhering to the shoreline, loons and even wild turkeys are visible to the patient.
There is something so calming and soothing about the movement of the waves. Some days glittering and melodic, other days crashing similar to the intensity of the ocean.
I have visited many locations around the US and still find this my favorite retreat in all seasons.
I find it difficult to leave. The peace and serenity I experience helps me face the challenges of life.
The home provides my family and friends a chance to "get away from it all," spend time indoors or out and make happy memories.
I like the quiet, the woods, the beach, the great outdoors. It brings tranquility and calm to my life. The air is cleaner. The raw beauty in all seasons, captivating.
The attraction of being almost in Lake Michigan makes this home truly special. Proximity to the Lake is the best of any property on Cardinal Lane. The waves can be alternately soothing or exhilarating, rivaling those of the widest, deepest oceans, changing in intensity and appearance as often as the wind. Neighboring wildlife come to bathe and sip the cool water.
One of the unexpected joys is walking down our quaint little lane. The dirt road is gorgeous in any season, shaded by a variety of tall trees, walled by a bed of green ferns and backed by a dense thicket of swampy woods that only enhance the feeling of being far away from the urban jungle.
My home is a place that I enjoy immensely after 25 years of spending winters and summers there.
The close-knit Cardinal Lane community is peaceful, lightly populated with lovely neighbors. When I am there I feel as if I am in another world, close to what I want and need, yet surrounded by peace comfort and safety.
The location is close to many and varied diversions and unbeatable for ease of access - highway travel from most locations. Only 2.5 hours from downtown Chicago and about 1 mile east off Rt. 43.
I enjoy the luxuries of Kohler nearby. The Baker outlet has a wonderful selection of furniture at a significant discount. The food and environment at the American Club is fun for tea in the atrium.
I like the town of Oostburg for its simplicity and ease of access.
Close by is a fun ski hill and snow board park for the kids, and adults. It is Sun Burst, in Kewaskum Wisconsin, 40 minutes away, with the 'premier tubing park in the world' as described on its site. Not Aspen, but certainly fun.
Best Beach House has easy access by car and no hassles with lines at check-in or waiting for elevators when all you want is to drop everything and relax.
Unique to this part of Lake Michigan, the gently sloping beach is covered in blond, finely grained sand, but no rocks that hide underwater to surprise your every step and no swampy mud bottom to suck your flip-flops off.
The lake water temperature and quality vary, but at times the it's crystal clear and sparkles like diamonds in the sun over the smooth sandy floor.
The home provides both family togetherness and "alone time," depending on your mood. Beachcombing on sunny days, stargazing on clear nights, warming your weary bones around a crackling fire . . . Entertaining is easy, with snacks and drinks from the kitchen so conveniently accessible to the deck and beach.
Wish I could be there to provide marshmallows, but firewood is provided for a beachside bonfire.
Bring a DVD along or select from our collection of family board games if the weather turns.
Oostburg has all the basic amenities, but sorry, no stoplights. Like much of small town America, it closes up early and Sunday. The charming Judi's Diner for breakfast, lunch or dinner, the most delicious Oostburg Bakery, pizza, small supermarket, gas station, library and laundromat are all conveniently located in downtown Oostburg. Familiar big box stores (Costco, Target, etc.) are short drives if you are so inclined. Shopping is less painful in Wisconsin with the 5% Sales tax!
For an abrupt transition from the laid back beach life to high end luxury, visit the American Club in Kohler. Pamper yourself with a treatment at their $7 Million Spa, hit the links on one of their championship golf courses, enjoy a superb meal at one of their many excellent fine dining restaurants or browse their exclusive WoodLake Shops for unique treasures. Check with the American Club for spa or golf packages and availability and review their calendar of special events.

Moline City Council members are taking steps toward changing the city's noise ordinance, which dates back to the 1950s.
After consulting with a sound engineer, the Planning Commission found an overhaul of the ordinance was needed to bring it into the 21st century.
During Tuesday night's Committee of the Whole meeting, city council members unanimously voted to give planning staff the green light to begin drafting new noise rules.
"It's quality of life, and what people think is a reasonable amount of noise to be able to live their daily lives," said Moline's Land Development Manager, Shawn Christ.
And, bringing the rules up to date isn't so much a question of changes in people's standards - It's an issue of changes in technology, which have made the city's current noise ordinances completely unenforceable.
"There's no teeth. Our hands are tied," Christ said.
The problem is that the rules on the books now are based on the noise meters that were used in the 1950s when they were written, using the octave bands that equipment could measure.
That equipment - and those frequency bands - are now obsolete.
Today's equipment is much more precise, and measures on a completely different scale.
"There's no physical way to measure at these frequencies using modern equipment," Christ said. "If you have to enforce standards, it is a problem."
Fortunately for the city, the few noise complaints that do come in have, so far, all been ones they've been able to resolve by working with the property owners to fix the problems, with no enforcement tools needed.
"But, since we know there is an issue, we know these are outdated, we want to be prepared in case we are put in that position," Christ said.
And that's why the planning commission is proposing that city council adopt new rules that would mirror the state's standards, which were all updated about ten years ago.
"It would create a series of maximum sound pressure levels and it would vary by the type of zoning district that it's located in, so a residential district, for instance, would have a lower threshold than what you could have in a commercial district," Christ explained.
At this point, no decisions have been made on the exact thresholds the new rules will contain.
But, planners say the new rules will definitely include a number of exemptions, for everything from backup generators in residential areas to church bells, train whistles, emergency vehicles, road construction and more.
The new ordinance will now be drawn up for city council to consider in the coming weeks.

Southgate Branch Library1601 Cross Link Rd Ste 14, Raleigh, NC 27610
(919) 856-6598
History : In March 1972 the Raleigh city council proposed that the south side of Raleigh receive a branch library. A site was found, the staff was hired and South Raleigh Library opened its doors January 1973. The library was located at 1514 Proctor Rd, and Jo Anne Cannady was the first branch manager. The library location in a complex with a convenience store and a supper club posed some difficulties but library staff worked hard and in May 1975 four new staff members were hired. Wesley C. Alston, a native of Raleigh and a recent graduate of Saint Augustine College, was hired as the new supervisor. The operating hours were Monday Friday 1:30-5:30. In spite of innovative programs and good service, circulation was deemed too low to support the high cost of service for this branch, and in 1977 the Raleigh Advisory Library Board voted 4-1 to temporarily relocate or close it. Proposals for relocation were taken to the Raleigh City Council, but they voted to leave the library in the Southgate location. Since the library was to remain its current location, the question became how to design a program of service, regardless of the location, that would more accurately reflect and meet the needs of the community. In 1978 a new assistant, Barbara Richburg, and a new branch manager, Barbara Alston, were hired. New operating hours were established Mon., Wed., Fri., & Sat. 9-5:30, Tues. & Thurs. 9-9, and Sun. 1:30 5:30. The new staff jumped right inestablished a community advisory board and recruited groups to attend children's story time and adult programs. The children's programmer, Ron Jones, and Mrs. Richburg handled all the programming. Location continued to be a problem so it was decided to relocate the branch to 507 Newcombe Rd. Rather than close the branch completely before the new location was ready the hours were changed to accommodate groups presently attending programs. On Feb. 5, 1981 South Raleigh Library opened its doors at the new location. Then there was word about a shopping center being built near Rock Quarry and Cross Link Roads. Putting the library in a shopping center in Southeast Raleigh was predicated to be the best permanent solution for this wandering branch, so South Raleigh Library packed up and moved again. The doors opened at the Southgate Plaza address November 15, 1985. The branch was remodeled in 1993 with a whole new look, new furniture and new shelving for the first time. In February 1999, three Internet and one word processing stations were added for public use.

I realize I'm preaching to the choir here mostly, but if you indulge me for a bit the conversations about Ruben Amaro's job status and the two camps of advocates have me thinking.
In regression analysis, one of the key statistics that we use to assess the quality of the model is the coefficient of determination, or more simply, R-squared (R2). It's a fundamentally simple concept. R2 is a number between 0 and 1 that tells us the proportion of variation explained by the regression model. In layman's terms, we understand that data and our knowledge are limited - each regression uses some set of independent variables to predict some outcome/dependent variable, but we can't possibly include every single variable that fully explains that outcome variable - there are too many idiosyncrasies and too much randomness.
For example, let's say that we want to predict how well a set of children will do in school (let's say using GPA). The first thing to note is that GPA is not an especially good measure of "how well a child does in school" because the measurement itself is based on a host of factors completely beyond the student's control, like grade inflation, the quality of the school, etc. Nevertheless, what "independent variables" can help us predict those outcomes? How about the education level of the child's parents? So let's use parents' years of schooling to predict child GPA. We would expect that as parents are more education, a child's GPA will be higher - and indeed, we find this time and again. However, there are no shortage of children whose parents are not well educated but yet excel in school, and similarly, many children of very educated parents struggle. There is a strong correlation, but it's not a perfect one. In other words, our R2 for this study would be very low. We might be able to explain about 2% of the variation in children's GPA through parent's education. There are many, many other variables that likely affect GPA, like the child's intelligence, social status, school quality, parental involvement, and I could go on and on.
With each variable we add to the equation, we are able to explain more and more of the variation. But note a couple of things - those problems I pointed out with the measurement of GPA? They exist for each of the other measures too - all measurements of social phenomena are flawed. But perhaps even more importantly, with all those variables, the R2 never gets very close to 1. Think of all the possible variables that we could include that should be correlated with GPA, and we'll still be lucky to explain 50% of the variation. Why?
Because people are individuals and while we all share some commonalities, we also have our own idiosyncrasies. Some students have bad days/bad years, some are more motivated, some function well in a school environment while others would be better off learning more by doing, etc. Which brings me to baseball. Sabrematic analysis is incredibly useful and hopefully the Phillies front office has finally realized that. But at its best, the analysis is only every going to be able to capture an incomplete proportion of the variation in team wins. Why? Because teams are made up of people, dealing with their own idiosyncratic issues - athletic ability, attitude, bad days, divorces, sick relatives, new swings, new grips, social groups, levels of happiness, team cohesion, etc. All of these things have some relationship with winning, and large scale correlational analysis is unlikely to ever to uncover those relationships, both because the concepts themselves are so hard to measure, but also because they are so idiosyncratic. A divorce might make one player more aggressive and do better, while it might make another despondent and distracted.
This is where scouting, the qualitative analysis of baseball, comes in. But like qualitative research, scouting is interpretive, and much much more difficult than data analysis. Predicting broad trends is, while not easy, relatively straight forward. Predicting individual trends is next to impossible. That scouts get it right sometimes is impressive, because they are being asked to explain 50% of the variation in team wins without any of the tools available to the data analysts in figuring out their 50%.
Given these challenges - data analysis can only explain so much, and scouting is incredibly difficult - smart teams should use both. Despite the calls for Ruben Amaro's head, I'm hopeful that the organization has begun to recognize the utility of using mixed methods to manage an inherently complex endeavor.

This route follows a rounded arete down and right of Black Rain. A fun route that goes free at 5.12a/b, or can be done with one point of aid at 5.10a A0. Follow the approach described in Black Rain. Go 40' up the ramp right of Black Rain, then climb down to a small exposed ledge with a 2-bolt anchor. Belay from here. Climb up past three bolts to a small roof (10a). Angle up right and clip the fourth bolt over the roof. Make a difficult move (12a/b) or yard on the quickdraw (A0) and step left to surmount the roof. Continue up the blunt arete past six more bolts to a good ledge with a two-bolt anchor. Belay from here. The climbing route is 120' long. Rappel 105' with two ropes or one 70m rope back to the ramp above the start. It may be possible to rappel with one 60m rope but you will be at the very ends of the rope. Two stars for good rock, fun moves, and a wild move over the roof.
10 bolts to a two-bolt anchor.
The 10a layback up a ramp past the 3rd bolt leaves you in a tenuous position to make the 4th clip. My partner, who is 5'5", didn't think she could reach the clip if she were leading. The next move is the 12a/b crux (A0 if you yard on the draw). Shorter climbers be forewarned. There's a great belay ledge at the top of the climb; bring your partner up and enjoy the view before you rappel back down.
Yeah, but I had to pull real hard on that draw.
Rossiter's Boulder Canyon guide lists Moe Hershoff as the "redpoint" in 1998. Is that incorrect? Should the rating be changed to be the free rating, since it has been listed as such since the 1999 guidebook.
The information in Rossiter's guidebook is incorrect; Moe Hershoff may have toproped the line free, but he did not lead it, according to Moe himself. The first free lead of the route was by Bob D'Antonio in 1999.
Really nice route. The 4th clip over the lip is not that easy to make. Consider putting a draw on that bolt and perhaps a long sling - one can yard on the draw and then step in the sling to reach the jug hold above. Without the long sling you have to make a 10 slab move to reach the jug. I really didn't feel much at all to grab onto above the lip to try the route free. I wonder if anything has broken off in the last 9 years?

Brady STUCO collecting food for fall pantry drive
The Brady High School Student Council is hosting a food drive to help fill the shelves of the community food pantry before the holidays.
Pantry items are being collected by each grade in the school.
STUCO sponsor Jeanene Lusk said the class which collects the most items will get to ride from school to Gothenburg in a limousine to have ice cream treats.
Non-perishable food items, toiletry products, cleaning supplies and paper goods are needed by the food pantry as well as monetary donations.
Each November, pantry volunteers deliver food baskets to needy families in Brady. The baskets include all the food items for a traditional Thanksgiving meal as well as other staples.
Everyone in the community is encouraged to help by donating. Items collected from residents outside the school will be split evenly among the classes.
Students will deliver the entire collection to the Community Center on Nov. 17.

Editor's Notes: All's fair in love and wurst
|| Print |
|Robin Doussard
|Monday, August 31, 2009
It is, I will admit, a guilty pleasure, this love of exotic poultry, small swine and giant vegetables. I wait each year for my fix: a kitsch junkie desperate for just one more cake decorated to look like Mt. Hood.
Yes, the Oregon State Fair in Salem is finally back, and like any fair maniac, I had to get there on opening weekend this past Sunday, dragging the husband behind me. He's weird. He doesn't like the fried food, rigged games, throw-up rides or cakes shaped like Oregon. But he does like the Poultry House and baby pigs. It's enough to build a marriage on.
The fair, which turns 146 this year, has been slowly sprucing itself up over the past few years. Connie Bradley, acting director of the fair, says in the past two years they've torn down the old 4-H dorm and a few other decrepit buildings; reroofed the barns; and "painted — a lot." Oregon State University is preserving the windows at the Poultry House, which is on the National Register of Historic Places. And they've also beefed up the concert series.
Fair attendance grew only 2% from 2007 to 2008 (to about 365,000), but Bradley says visitors to county fairs have been strong this year, so she's hoping that's a sign that their numbers will be good. But she adds that concert sales so far are not up to last year's.
The key to the success of the Oregon State Fair and Exposition Center is the other 50 weeks of the year when there is no fair. Bradley plans to boost the marketing of the meeting facilities at the fairgrounds, and plans to create a nonprofit/government rate for those facilities. The fair and expo center are operated by the state's parks and recreation department, which provides $2 million of a $14 million budget. Bradley's goal is to get the fair to be financially self-sustaining as soon as possible.
OK, the boring business stuff is now out of the way. Here's some totally cool facts about the fair's 11-day run:
* There are 600 horses, 750 beef cattle, 370 dairy cattle, 520 goats, 1,300 sheep, 370 pigs, 79 llamas, 385 chickens, 113 pigeons, 325 rabbits, 135 guinea pigs, and 99 dogs (in the 4-H dog show). Pups, you need to get a better agent.
* 937,000 cups of soda are consumed, enough to fill an Olympic-sized swimming pool 10 times. (Note: I would up the number of Port-o-Potties if this is true.)
* 250,000 burgers, 633,500 hotdogs, 20,000 ears of corn and 14,000 pounds of yakisoba noodles are devoured. No public stats on the number of fried Twinkies sold were available.
If you've never been, you really need to experience all this first-hand. Get yourself to the fair, have a giant cheese-covered bratwurst and a brick of deep-fried curly fries, and marvel at the prize-winning pumpkins. Maybe take a spin on the Tilt-a-Whirl. You can thank me later, after the Alka-Seltzer.

Dahlia Lithwick and Sonja West: [M]oments before they adjourned for their summer recess, the justices proved they can act quite quickly and recklessly when it comes to violating the terms of a controversial opinion they handed down only days earlier. It's as if the loaner car the court gave us in the Hobby Lobby ruling broke down mere blocks from the shop. ... Having explicitly promised that Hobby Lobby would go no further than Hobby Lobby, the court went back on its word, then skipped town for the summer.
[T]he three dissenting justices last night were the court's three women: Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Elena Kagan. In the event that the religious and gender rift at the court was not already painful to behold, the dissent, penned by Sotomayor, is a forceful and unwavering rejection of both the majority's reasoning and tactics. "I disagree strongly with what the court has done," Sotomayor wrote. "Those who are bound by our decisions usually believe they can take us at our word. Not so today. After expressly relying on the availability of the religious-nonprofit accommodation to hold that the contraceptive coverage requirement violates [the Religious Freedom Restoration Act] as applied to closely held for-profit corporations, the Court now, as the dissent in Hobby Lobby feared it might, retreats from that position."

Here is my personal experience with him. I came to Mr. Galewski with a serious issue after being referred to him by a business associate of mine. Mr. Galewski took time to explain to me what steps he and his team needed to make in order to help me through it. We agreed on an amount that I thought was excellent because I had been to a number of attorney's who were charging 2 times the amount. I wrote a check right there and then and Mr. Galewski assured me that he will work on my case immediately. I received a phone call from one of his staff members the very next day for some additional information he needed and sent it right over. Every time I called or left a message for Mr. Galewski to call me back he did. So now to why I know Mr. Galewski is not just an attorney who she claims just wants money but how honest he really is. The check that I wrote to Mr. Galewski was for a pretty big amount based on my situation, which again, I thought was more than fair. Unfortunately 3 days after writing that check I found out that my entire department was being laid off due to budget cuts. I went into panic mode knowing that I might not beable to get my money back because dealing with attorney's in my past that was not a norm. I immediately called Mr. Galewski's office and asked to speak with him. I was put on hold for 2 minutes if that, and Mr. Galewski was on the phone asking is everything ok. I explained to him what had happened since I last met with him in great detail. Without hesitation, Mr. Galweski said " How can I help"? "Do you need a refund"? You can't imagine how supprised I was to hear an attorney say, do you want a refund....lol! The next day I went to Mr. Galewski's office to pick up my check. When I met with Mr. Galewski once again he said, "Here you go, sorry I have to give you your money back in a check form but I did't have that amount laying around in my office. We both laughed. He then said, "If you have any issues in the future I would be more then happy to help you out in any way I can". I continue to consult on legal matters with Mr. Galewski because in my opion he is the most honest and fairest attorney I've dealt with in a very long time. I highly recommed using him if ever you need someone who cares about you and not your money.
I can't tell you how happy I am that I came across Stanley and his team. I needed to file for Chapter 13 in the Tampa area, but live up in New York. He made it so easy for me, explaining everything in detail beforehand and during the process. Everything went very smoothly, but what impressed me most was how quickly he always replied to my emailed questions, which I had a number of over the past year. He always replied quickly and took care of things.
At this point everything's been discharged and already my credit is building back up.
Stan Galewski and his office have been so helpful to us. My husband filed for bankrupcy and Mr. Galewski made it as easy as possible for us. We later moved out of state and 2 years later when my husband's new job required documentation, the Galewski firm handled it within minutes with just a phone call. Extremely impressive and personal customer service from Mr. Galewski and his staff! I would highly recommend this lawyer!
I sought out Mr. Galweski's services regarding a real estate disclosure issue. I had purchased a home, and found extensive termite damage concealed in the walls by the previous owner. Given the extent of the structural damage, and the patches, I wanted to sue for non-disclosure of damages which directly effected the value of the home. Mr Galewski recommended I take the case to small claims and represent myself. He met with me 2 times for free and explained the exact course of actions I needed to take. I was able to negotiate a settlement with the previous owners based, in part, on his advice, and I didnt have to spend a penny on a lawyer. He provided valuable assistance and guidance without seeking compensation, although I did offer to pay for his time. I would use him again, should a legal matter arise and I need representation.
Stan helped me through a divorce about 2 years ago. This was a very difficult time in that my ex was very demanding and controlling. I was very impressed by Stan's ability to control of the court room and other meetings during the case. I started off expecting to lose everything but Stan got an amazing result and got me enough support to keep my house and kids. I was very impressed. I called Stan again yesterday and had questions about bankruptcy. I did not expect him to remember me, but as soon as he heard my voice he recalled all the facts of my case. In a few minutes we were able to put together a plan to again save me from a financial wreck. I cannot thank him enough.
Stan Galewski got me in to see him immediately after I called him. He gave me so much of his time and was very interested in my concerns and saw a solution for me that I could do on my own and get the same results that he would get me thousands of dollars later. He gave me specific instructions and corresponded with me through email as I was going through it. He is knowledgeable, caring, and honest! His concern was on me and the custody of my son! He was right, and he didn't charge me a penny! Stan cares about the case, not your money!
My wife and I hired Stan to help us with a bankruptcy. We went through the chapter 13 process and discharged our second mortgage and tons of credit card debt. We were so nervous after hearing bad stories about people coming to our house or taking things from us.
Stan said he would help protect our things and he was right. We not only never had anyone at our house, we only had to go to one meeting with a trustee. We never even stepped foot in the courthouse or saw our judge.
My wife works for a bank and thought that this would hurt her job. We talked at length with Stan prior to making a decision. After our discussions we were certain that her job was safe. Now when people ask my wife to help with their debt to the bank she sends them to
When we started this process I was so nervous and my Wife and I were fighting constantly over finances. Stan stood by us the entire way and really changed our view of bankruptcy and of lawyers.
I was very happy to have Stan on my side and already refer anyone I know to his office.
Highest Recommendation
Mr. Galewski filed a chapter 13 bankruptcy for me. I was not sure if bankruptcy was even a good option for me, but after speaking with Mr. Galewski, I was certain that this was the right choice. He was able to get rid of all of my credit card debt, changed my car payment and even took out my second mortgage.
I am in a much better financial position now. I was very happy with the service and final result that Mr. Galewski was able provide.
Stan helped me with my Divorce and then my Bankruptcy. The whole time he stayed in constant contact with me, even returned my emails on weekends. I was amazed by how calm and collected he stayed in court and negotiating with the other side. My ex's counsel was crazy aggressive and completely unreasonable, but Stan held his position and helped me to stay sane.
When the Judge gave her ruling it was as if she was reading a script that Stan wrote. She not only reviewed every detail that Stan said she would, but she ordered support and other items within dollars of what we predicted.
Also, I was impressed with costs. My ex paid nearly 5 times as much as I did for the same process and she received less than what I offered before I hired Stan.
For my bankruptcy Stan did everything. I filled out some simple paperwork. I followed the steps that he requested. I went to one short informal meeting with a trustee and Stan took care of everything.
This is the first time I have been debt free in over 20 years and it feels great.
I recommend Stan and his firm to everyone.
This Lawyer is all talk & no show. The paralegal was basically responsible for my case. This lawyer didn't do any oof the things he said he would do during the consultation.
Lawyer Comment:
This could not have been a client of the Firm. The Firm uses paralegals in Bankruptcy and Real Estate Law but not in Family law. Anyone that would have worked with the Client would have been an attorney. This was likely either opposing counsel or opposing party. Further, this Firm has not lost a client in a child custody case in the memorable past. I stand by my commitment to my clients and my accessibility.

Not much to say here of cruxes, but any difficulty on this climb comes from the holds either being less than obvious or sloping rather than incut. A reasonable climb for beginners to warm up on and get into the lead-head before moving on to harder climbs.
Down and right of the lower bihedral there is a face of rock that is slabby on the left and more broken but vertical as you go right. Downhill and right the formation becomes even taller, as the low angle lower-tier is unearthed and the upper section bulges outwards.

Fashion Photo of the Day 12/4/12 - Diane Kruger
December 4
4:07 2012
Related: Diane Kruger, Prabal Gurung, Apparel
What else would you wear to an event at NYC's MoMA than a Prabal Gurung? The always fashion forward Diane Kruger looks so cool in this dove gray gown accented with a metallic silver belt. Right off the Spring 2013 runway, Kruger shines in the designer's creation, but really, I would expect nothing less.
I love the shear skirt of the gown and the feminine tiered ruffles. It's a modern take on a vintage style maxi dress. Kruger's domino box clutch is a touch of modern art! I think this is one of my favorite looks of hers to date.

Rather than tossing pork chops on the grill and allowing them to dry out (it's true, you know it), reach for this grilled pork loin recipe, which cleverly calls for a loin to be brined, grilled whole, and then sliced, a tactic that all but ensures moistness.–Adam Perry Lang
LC Acts of Covert Cleverness Note
There are a few acts of covert cleverness tossed into this recipe. Each helps ensure untold tenderness and unabashed happiness the likes of which you may not have ever experienced from pork–not the least of which is plonking a cold beer down near the grill as you tend to the pig. See if you can find the rest of these acts.
Spice-Glazed Grilled Pork Loin Recipe
- Quick Glance
- Serves 6 to 8
- For the brine
- 5 tablespoons sea salt or kosher salt
- 5 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons grated or finely chopped sweet white onion
- 10 garlic cloves, crushed
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1 bunch fresh thyme
- 1 bunch fresh flat-leaf parsley
- 1 bunch fresh rosemary
- 6 cups cold water
- Two 2 1/2 pound pork loin roasts, preferably boneless
- Canola oil or vegetable oil
- For the spice glaze
- 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
- For the board dressing (optional)
- 6 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
- Sea or kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Grated lemon zest
- Chopped fresh chives
- Brine the pork
- 1. Combine all the brine ingredients except the pork loin and oil in a large bowl or resealable plastic bag. Mix and mash the ingredients with your hands, directly or through the bag, squeezing them to release the maximum flavor. Transfer half the brine to a second large bowl or plastic bag.
- 2. If desired, to increase the surface area of the meat for seasoning, score the fatty side at 1/4-inch intervals, making 1/4-inch deep cuts in a crosshatch pattern.
- 3. Place a pork loin in each bag or bowl of brine and refrigerate for at least 3 hours and up to 24 hours.
- Make the spice glaze
- 4. Combine all the spice glaze ingredients in another resealable plastic bag.
- Grill the pork loin
- 5. Prepare a grill for indirect cooking and bring it to 325°F (162° C).
- 6. Drain the pork loin, discarding the brine, and pat it dry with paper towels. Rub the meat with just enough canola oil to make it glisten.
- 7. Carefully oil the preheated grill rack, using tongs and a paper towel dampened with oil. Place the loin on the well-oiled rack, fatty side up. Close the grill lid and cook, covered, for 45 minutes.
- 8. Transfer the pork loin to a plate. Cut off a bottom corner of the plastic bag of glaze and drizzle the glaze over the pork, turning it to coat it completely.
- 9. Return the loin to the grill and cook for an additional 45 minutes to allow the glaze to permeate the meat. The pork is done when it registers 160°F (71°C) on an instant-read thermometer. Let rest for about 10 minutes.
- Serve and devour
- 10. Combine the board dressing ingredients on a clean cutting board. Slice the grilled pork loin, place it on the dressing, and turn to coat each slice. Serve immediately, preferably with a cold beer.

A wonderfully fabulous recipe. I'm a brine nut, and this one is incredible—it contains lots of ingredients that work together very well. As in the instructions, cross-hatching the fat really enables the brine (and then the glaze) to penetrate. My pork was in the brine for 24 hours. We used applewood chips, which gave incredible flavour and depth. Grilling added yet another dimension, and then another on top of that with the sublime glaze. (There's no need to pour drizzle it. You can just brush it on.) I must confess to cooking it to just 150°F instead of 160°F as we prefer our pork pinkish. Honey and cumin are such a lovely combination, and the chives added just that tiny bit of something. I'd make this again and again. I'm practically licking my chops just thinking about it! Sure, it requires a touch more work than some recipes but it's oh-so worth it.

This pork loin is full of flavor and very tasty. A little labor intensive, but well worth the results for a very succulent pork dish. I put the pork loin in the brine for about five hours. I liked this brine for a variety of reasons, one being that it didn't leave the pork with an overly salty flavor. There was a good balance with the herbs and the sweetness of the brown sugar. To grill, I used applewood chips that were soaked in white wine. This really gave the pork a mild, smoky flavor without drying the pork out.
The glaze was very good, though I didn't think I needed to put this in another bag to drizzle on the pork. I just mixed it up in a measuring cup and slowly drizzled over the meat and then rolled the pork loin in the excess on the platter before putting back on the grill. Next time, I'll double the glaze recipe and put half of it aside to pass with the pork when serving. This was a hit with everyone, no leftovers here…

Designing my own headphones (Short Survey) (self.product_design)

You might save yourself some time and make your survey easier to fill out by using surveymonkey

I don't know if you would be interested, but I did research and an essay on the subject of reducing on ear headphone discomfort if you would be interested in having a look through?
[–]grantga10[S] 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
If you wouldn't mind that would be great, I could use any help. I'm hard in the research stage at the moment
[–]eidsvold 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago
I usually make a SurveyMonkey and post it on my Facebook, it works great.
But If you're going to design headphones I think you should think completely different, since there are so many different types and variations of the same design already. Focus on functionality!
[–]Buyae 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
I had a headphone project 2 years ago. Try to ask yourself why the arguably best headphones look as ugly as they do.
[–]Wegian 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
I'm not sure what level you're working at here, but if you're expected to do any serious kind of research and want it done without paying for survey software then use qualtrics.com
The most useful feature is the ability to cross tabulate results, so if you ask all the questions above, but also ask about user demographics, age, gender, personal habits or whatever is relevant then you can start to analyse trends.
For example, compare age with music taste, and find the difference between what young and old people listen to, do males tend to buy different sizes of headphones? do single people spend more on headphones than couples?
This allows you to identify target markets and discover gaps in the market, if you're into that kind of thing.
Surveymonkeys gone a bit shit these days to be honest, unless youre willing to pay for it.
ie. make survey, post survey to reddit with backstory, goals and justification, get more results.
Sorry about the laziness my friends, I provided no background and that seems dumb of me. This is for my Senior Studio project and I'm designing a pair of headphones for the urban city dweller...focusing on styling, innovative features, portabiility, and brand identity.
After some research I've decided to design my headphones for/ based on the new windows 8 ecosystem...based partly on the fact that people like "dedicated" hardware i.e. the apple earbuds, because of the brand and design continuity. I'm in the late stages of (the bulk of) my research and the early stages of concepting...any feedback regarding the headphones will help! Thanks!

An out-of-control car crashed through a Sioux Falls house and garage, coming just feet from two sleeping children.
According to police, 21-year-old Givara Zaki drove a GMC Acadia through the northeast corner of a house near the corner of 30th Street and Blauvelt Avenue.
After smashing through a bedroom, the SUV went through the garage before finally stopping in the yard. Police say it's a miracle the two little girls inside the bedroom weren't hurt. The crash caught the attention of the next door neighbor.
It is not unusual for a late-night noise to wake Theresa Hay up.
"My husband's always telling me I'm dreaming," Hay said.
Hay said, this time, it sounded like something hit her house. It did not take her long to find the proof that she was not asleep.
"I saw through our bathroom behind the shade lights were flashing. I pulled open the shade and here I saw a car looking at me," Hay said.
Though her home was not hit or damaged, the headlights were just feet away. The SUV stopped just short of the nearby chain link fence. Hay quickly woke up her husband.
"I said, 'Bob, there's something really terrible going on'," Hay said.
When the couple, along with Hay's sister-in-law, went outside, they got a better look at what happened. Hay said Zaki drove the car between the light pole and tree in the yard, up onto the grass. You can see tire marks in the grass that lead to the damaged part of the house. Police have not nailed down an exact speed, but Hay said it looks like Zaki was driving pretty fast.
"If you see the skid marks, they're well beyond the intersection," Hay said.
Officers said Zaki is the nephew of the couple who lives in this house, and have cited him with reckless driving for the overnight crash. The SUV clipped a gas line to the house, which authorities quickly repaired. Police said it is a miracle the little girls are not hurt. Hay agrees.
"You wonder, don't you? God protected them on a day like that," Hay said.

Side Splitters Comedy Club Welcomes Ben Bailey 3/3-5
Acclaimed stand-up comedian, Ben Bailey is the most desired cabbie in New York. He is the host of the highly successful shows "Cash Cab" and "Cash Cab: After Dark" on the Discovery Channel. He was singled out by publications such as Entertainment Weekly, who put Ben on their MUST LIST in 2006, People magazine who said "All Hail Cash Cab," and the New York Post. As a stand-up he has also been profiled in publications such as the New York Times, Maxim, the Associated Press and other reputable publications as well. In fact, "Cash Cab" has gained such a following that he received a Daytime Emmy nomination last year for "Outstanding Game Show Host."
As far back as Ben can remember, he was always delivering something. Whether it was flowers, sandwiches, pizza or people, he had over 68 odd jobs prior to and during his stint as an up and coming stand up comic. He recalls driving passengers in his limo, dropping them off, and then hitting the comedy clubs before coming back to pick them up and take them home. In fact, some of his passengers were so enamored with him that they even came to watch him perform! So, when Ben was offered the job as the host of "Cash Cab," driving was a no brainer. And when he was told that he had to successfully pass real taxi school to become a licensed cab driver in New York City to take the job, Ben passed with flying colors.
Ben got his unlikely start as a stand-up comedian when he was mistaken for a comic in the green room of The Comedy Store in Los Angeles where he was hired to answer the phones. The booker seeing that the other comics in the room could not get enough of Ben's humor booked him on the spot. After a few years of performing in Los Angeles, Ben moved back to New York and for two years consistently went to open-mic nights to hone his craft and he hasn't stopped making people laugh since. Now with over 10 years under his belt as a successful stand-up comedian, Ben continues to perform all over New York City and has achieved international acclaim for both the show "Cash Cab" and performing stand-up comedy all over the world.
He has appeared at the Aspen Comedy Arts Festival in 2002 and again in 2004 while promoting the movie "Bad Meat." He has performed at the Edinburgh Festival in 2000 and again in 2004 as well as the Masters show at the Montreal Just for Laughs festival in 2005. Ben was also a "Star Search" semi-finalist in 2003 and was an audience favorite where 16.2 million people saw him perform. Ben has also guest starred on numerous television comedies and dramas such as: ABC's "The Knights of Prosperity" & "Hope & Faith", NBC's "Law and Order SVU," and Fox's "Mad TV," as well as a recurring role on "One Life To Live." His upcoming special "YouSpoof 2.0" will debut on the Discovery Channel later in 2008.
