Rutland police officer suspendedBy Brent Curtis
STAFF WRITER | December 04,2012
A Rutland Police officer is the focus of a criminal investigation.
Longtime officer, Thomas Fuller, became the focus of a criminal investigation Monday that centered on an unspecified altercation Saturday at Rutland Regional Medical Center.
The 26-year veteran was suspended with pay Monday and a request was sent to Vermont State Police to conduct the investigation.
The nature of the altercation is unclear although police, in a written press release, said no arrests had been made. Fuller was on duty at the time of the incident, police said.
Asked for further details of the incident at the hospital, Police Chief James Baker declined comment.
"At this point, what's in the release is all I can say really," Baker said.
Melissa West, a spokeswoman at RRMC, said Monday night that she had received no information about the incident other than that it did not involve any staff member or patient at the hospital.
Baker said he learned about the incident Monday morning and he said the decision to open an investigation was made after consultation with the chairman of the Rutland Police Commission.
Baker said Fuller will remain suspended with pay for the length of the investigation.
The announcement comes less than two months after city police took similar action involving officer Joseph M. Warfle, a more than 20-year veteran of the force, who had recently returned to limited duty status after a prolonged period on worker's compensation.
Asked about the investigation involving Warfle earlier Monday, Baker said he believed it was nearing its conclusion but had no knowledge about what the outcome might be or whether criminal charges could be brought.MORE IN This Just InThe Rutland High School varsity cheerleading team is taking their high energy, attention-grabbing...

this special season of giving we'd like to thank our generous donors
and supporters who continue to invest in our mission to save the lives
of injured children. We are inspired by your commitment and look
forward to working together in 2014.
Happy Holidays from all of us at The
Childress Institute
The NASCAR Foundation Partners with CIPT for Education
In an effort to improve care and treatment for injured children, The
NASCAR Foundation and CIPT recently partnered to provide a free
continuing education course for health care providers at Homestead
Hospital in Homestead, Fl., Nov. 11-12.
With the help of funds from The
NASCAR Foundation, the Childress Institute facilitated the Pediatric
Fundamental Critical Care Support (PFCCS) course for physicians,
physician extenders, nurses, respiratory therapists, and other health
care professionals. This program provides the vital tools needed to
recognize a child's need for critical care, especially when a pediatric
specialist is not available.

define pediatric trauma patients, identify the injuries needing
immediate treatment at a designated trauma center, and design a project
to incorporate these injuries into an algorithm to expedite this
CIPT support helped secure two keynote speakers for the
2013 Wake Forest Baptist Health - Brenner Children's
Hospital Pediatric Trauma Conference on Nov. 4-5. Dr. Patrick
Broderick from Danbury Hospital in Newtown, Conn., and Maria McMahon
from Boston Children's Hospital discussed how two pivotal national
events in 2013 affected the treatment for pediatric trauma patients.
addition to hosting a pediatric trauma course at
Hospital, The NASCAR Foundation and CIPT also produced a co-branded fleece
blanket that will be distributed to injured children in hospitals
throughout the U.S.

Doubling Interest Rates: The Devil is in the Details | 07.25.13
Last night, the Senate passed a bill to address the doubling of the interest rate on new subsidized Federal Stafford loans.
The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimated that the legislation will save the federal government $715 million over ten years, which would be applied to deficit reduction. Many feared that the multi-partisan Senate deal would fall apart because the CBO found that an earlier version would cost $22 billion over ten years.
Under the Senate-approved legislation, interest rates on new loans each July 1 would be based on the last 10-year Treasury auction in the previous May. The specific interest rates would be as follows:
- Undergraduate Students (Subsidized and Unsubsidized Federal Stafford Loans): 10-year Treasury + 2.05% with an 8.25% cap
- Graduate and Professional School Students ( Federal Stafford Loans and Federal Grad PLUS Loans): 10-year Treasury + 3.6% with a 9.5% cap
- Parents (Federal Parent PLUS Loan): 10-year Treasury + 4.6% with a 10.5% cap
Based on the current 10-year Treasury rate, this would yield interest rates of 3.9%, 5.4% and 6.4%, respectively, for new loans this year, made after July 1, 2013.
According to Mark Kantrowitz, publisher of Edvisors, "This is still an interest rate increase masquerading as a decrease. Interest rates are at historically low levels and have nowhere to go but up. We can expect interest rates to start increasing by about 1.5% per year in 2015." These federal educational loan rates are expected to climb as the economy improves and it becomes more expensive for the government to borrow money. Thus, interest rates on new loans will probably exceed the current 6.8% rate in 2017 and certainly by 2020. "So, while students enrolling in college now will save money on their student loans, their younger siblings will pay a lot more. A few years from now students and parents will be demanding a return to fixed 6.8% interest rates."
This student loan interest rate debate is more about the politics than the policy. It is a distraction from the real problem, which is the amount of debt, not the cost of the debt. On the same day the Senate negotiators crafted the current compromise, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau reported that federal education debt alone has reached the $1 trillion milestone. Previously, the combination of federal and private student loans had reached $1 trillion. See http://www.consumerfinance.gov/speeches/student-debt-swells-federal-loans-now-top-a-trillion/
The failure of grants to keep pace with increases in college costs shifts more of the burden of paying for college from the federal and state governments to students and their families. Federal grants have decreased on a constant dollar per-student basis. State appropriations have likewise decreased for decades. Cuts in state appropriations are the primary driver of public college tuition inflation. Family incomes have been flat for a decade, forcing families to either borrow more or shift enrollments from higher-cost colleges to lower-cost colleges, such as from 4-year colleges to 2-year colleges (or to skip attending college altogether). This causes a reduction in Bachelor's degree attainment, since only one fifth of students who intend to obtain a Bachelor's degree but start at a 2-year college obtain a Bachelor's degree within six years, compared with two-thirds of students who start at a 4-year college. These effects are felt most by low- and moderate-income students, who are increasingly being priced out of a college education.
So what are a student and his or her family to do?
Kantrowitz offers the following practical advice:
Save before college. Even if you start saving late, it will still save money. Every dollar you save is a dollar less you'll have to borrow. Every dollar you borrow will cost about two dollars by the time you repay the debt.
Search for scholarships on free web sites like studentscholarshipsearch.com and scholarshippoints.com. Every dollar you win is a dollar less you'll have to borrow in the form of a loan.
Use tuition installment plans to avoid long-term debt. These plans spread out the college bills into 9 or 10 equal monthly installments. So if you can afford to pay the college bill, just not all at once, these can make it more affordable while avoiding high loan interest rates.
Use education tax benefits, such as the American Opportunity Tax Credit, to reduce your tax bill based on amounts you spend on tuition, fees, and textbooks.
Live like a student while you are in school, so you don't have to live like a student after you graduate. Tuition and fees are only half of college costs. Living expenses, including room and board, books and supplies, transportation and personal expenses are the other half. There are many ways to save besides enrolling in a less expensive college. You can live at home if you enroll at a nearby college or get a roommate to split the rent. Buy used textbooks or sell your textbooks back to the bookstore at the end of the semester. Visit home less frequently to save on travel costs. Minimize non-campus dining and entertainment costs. Students don't like the cafeteria food, so they eat out or buy beverages from vending machines and specialty coffeehouses. A $10 pizza a week will cost $2,000 by the time you graduate, and if you use student loan money to pay for it, it will cost about $4,000 by the time you repay the debt. That's a lot of pizza.
The Senate version of this interest rate legislation will be sent back to the House for approval before its August recess. The House of Representatives is expected to act quickly on the legislation (HR 1911).

- 1 tablespoon(s) extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 cup(s) chopped onion (1 small)
- 3 clove(s) garlic, crushed
- 1 tablespoon(s) finely chopped shallot
- 1 tablespoon(s) tomato paste
- 1/2 teaspoon(s) black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon(s) ground cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon(s) scant dried hot red pepper flakes
- 3/4 teaspoon(s) salt
- 1/2 cup(s) coarsely chopped red bell pepper (1/2 medium)
- 1 plum tomato, coarsely chopped
- 1/4 cup(s) dry red wine
- 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons cider vinegar

- 1/2 cup(s) golden raisins
- 1 tablespoon(s) chopped fresh tarragon or chives
- 10 ounce(s) (6) boneless duck breasts with skin
- Method for Chutney and Glaze: Heat oil in a 2- to 3-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat until hot but not smoking. Then cook onion, garlic, and shallot, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 7 minutes. Add tomato paste, black pepper, cumin, hot pepper flakes, and 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring, 30 seconds. Reduce heat to medium and add bell pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in wine, vinegar (to taste), and sugar and simmer approximately 5 minutes. Stir in mustard, 1 1/2 cups cherries, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and simmer 1 minute. Allow to cool slightly and reserve all but 1/4 cup of the mix to the side. Place 1/4 cup mix in a blender and puree until very smooth, about 1 minute (use caution when blending hot liquids). Reserve for glazing duck. To finish the chutney, add the remaining 1 1/2 cups cherries, raisins, and tarragon or chives. Can be prepared one day ahead.
- Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Score duck skin in a crosshatch pattern with a small sharp knife and season duck all over with salt and pepper.
- Heat water in an ovenproof 12-inch heavy skillet over low heat until hot, then add duck, skin side down. Cook duck, uncovered, over low heat, without turning, until most of fat is rendered (melted) and skin is golden brown, about 25 minutes.
- Transfer duck to a plate and discard all but 1 tablespoon fat from skillet. Brush duck all over with cherry glaze and return to skillet, skin side up.
- Roast duck in oven until thermometer registers 135 degrees, about 8 minutes for medium-rare. Remove from oven and allow to rest for 5 minutes.
- Holding a sharp knife at a 45-degree angle, cut duck into slices. Serve with cherry chutney and molasses whipped sweet potato.

Plague is an infectious disease with an infamous past that has affected human history. Because of its contagious nature, plague is a weapon of bioterrorism. Although it is not as common as it once was, outbreaks of plague do occur today.
Types of plague include:
- Pneumonic—in the lungs, from breathing in droplets or as a progression of another type
- Bubonic—in the lymph nodes, occurring after a flea bite
- Septicemic—a body system-wide infection, occurring after a flea bite
Plague is treated with isolation and antibiotics.
Plague is caused by specific bacteria.
Bubonic and septicemic plagues are spread by bites from infected fleas. Transmission can also occur when a person comes in contact with infected tissue or bodily fluids from another person or animal.
Pneumonic plague is spread by droplets in the air when an infected person coughs or sneezes. The disease is transmitted to another person when the droplets are inhaled. Transmission by droplets is the only way pneumonic plague spreads among people.

So 2012 is over.
A year where I've travelled to WNDX in Canada, to Ireland, to the OFFoff in Belgium and the inaugural European Beat Studies Conference in Holland, to curate and screen movies and / or talk. I've also visited the KW in Berlin, Germany for the Cinema of Transgression retrospective and the UK as well.
I've had essays included in numerous books and contributed regular monthly columns to FilmInk and articles to the Fortean Times and elsewhere. There's been several radio and television appearances plus work on a movie for director Alex Munt.
I've also co-curated a photography show with Linsey Gosper and programmed sessions at the London and Sydney Underground Film Festivals, and as per usual program directed Revelation.
Next year is already shaping up to be a busy year, and there will be posts here semi-regularly.
Thanks to everybody who helped, supported or just turned up this year.

Moron Moment of the Week: Man Tries to Rob Police Station
May 9, 2012 4:32 PM
Steve Austin Read More
Our moron moment of the week involves an attempted robbery and police station dispatch window. Keithan Manuel had decided that he needed some money, so he decided to try and rob the Wilmer police station in Dallas. When he approached the window he had a gun wrapped in a towel and demanded all of the dispatcher's money.
The dispatcher called for the police, so that was easy because they were in the room with her, remember this is a police station the guy tried to rob. Keithan now currently resides in the Dallas County jail and definitely deserves our moron moment of the week.

You might have noticed that on the side of the page I added a link to The Niblings - which refer to my niece and nephews. Although Ben pointed out the connection to 43-Man Squamish, I first heard the term from a friend of mine, and I thought it was cute.
At any rate, I got a great letter from Esther about the newest Eli story:
- Here is another classic Eli story...
I was driving with the kids on the way to my dermatologist appointment, and I was explaining to the kids where we were going. I told them that a "skin doctor" is called a "rofeh or" in Hebrew, because "or" means "skin". Eli said, "No, 'or' means light!" I told him that "or" with an "alef" means light, but that "or" with an "ayin" means skin. He replied, then you shouldn't have said or, you should have said, 'or - If you don't say the "ayin" right, the words will sound the same!!
(Sorry, although my computer is rigged for Hebrew, diacritics and the international phonetic alphabet, I didn't think any of you have e-mail readers that would accommodate).
You should hear his mapik heh!!! He WILL correct you if you mispronounce!
Oh yeah, and he's learning how to layn.
This, loyal readers, is my nephew.

My favorite place for good tea, wraps and wifi — in Building 50! — is Another Cuppa Joe. I just heard they have a Web site — check it out!
I got an email from a writer who found this blog and asked me what my favorite thing was about coming up to TC. Here's what I wrote back:
My one favorite thing about coming up to Traverse City is that the pace of life is less intense and more centered on the whole. Nature, it seems, is important: stopping to look out at the lake, walking in the woods that are easy to get to, developing land that meshes nature with well-planned spaces and technology. TC people seem to embrace the seasons… the sun, the cold, the snow… It's not rush rush here and there as I've found "down here" or in other areas.
Frances Mayes wrote extensively about how time seems different to her while in Italy. I guess I've found my own little place in the US where time seems to slow down, where it is ok to stop and watch the sun go down over the hills West of TC… where it's ok to read all afternoon in a chair on the pier at Spider Lake.

|*Crêpe Suzette - orange Marmalade spread on a crêpe and topped with Grand Marnier! bien sur! ($4.25)
|The Silo
|M-Th 7am-5pm
|Fri 7am-2pm
La Crêpe is great if you want a crêpe from a real Frenchman, as the owner is from France. Though housed in the The Silo it is not run by Sodexho but is a small franchise. The manager of La Crêpe used to own the Crepe Bistro, and at least one other employee is a past Bistro employee as well. Prices mainly range from $2.25 for a simple sugar & butter crêpe to $6.95 for the hearty Poulet Provençal. First of all, you can choose a "Breakfast Crêpe," a "Daily Specials" crêpe, a "Make Your Own" crêpe, or a "Dessert Crêpe"! (exciting isn't it?) In addition to the type of crêpe, be prepared to tell them whether you want a white or wheat crêpe upon ordering, if you want jack, swiss, or cheddar cheese, and what type of sauce you'd like (pesto, mornay, or curry). Most of La Crepe's savory crepes are available ovo/lacto vegetarian style, but both the mornay and curry sauces are prepared with chicken broth & white wine.
A crêpe has been described as a tortilla that has a consistency similar to a pancake and has been folded and filled with various goodies. An alternate description would be a really thin omelet with lots of flour mixed into it to create a eggy soft wrap. Depending on the filling, they can be sweet or savory.
Breakfast Crêpes
For Those who want a "Breakfast Crêpe" the following choices are available:
Sugar and Butter ($2.25)
Sugar and Cinnamon ($2.50)

Daily Specials
Now, for that eager diner who would like to try one of the delicious "Daily Specials"...you are in for a treat! Enjoying your savory crêpe is easy! All you have to do is choose from "white flour" or "wheat flour". Cheese comes in ALL the savory crêpes, so you get your choice of either Jack, Swiss, or Cheddar cheese. :) YUM. There are also three sauces available with these savory crêpes. They are: Mornay*, Curry*, and Pesto. The first two are free of charge, but be warned! Pesto costs extra!

Prices correct as of late 2005.

A bit expensive for breakfast, but the people are nice and the food isn't bad. Try an Orangina while you're there.
I recommend the Florentine or the Coq au Vin crepes. Or, if you prefer, any of the omelette ones are good. - AndreyGoder
My fav Crêpe place in Davis, IMO better than Crepeville or even the now defunct Crepe Bistro. Spinach and/or broccoli and/or mushrooms crêpes with swiss cheese and mornay sauce were my favorites. - JevanGray
I recently tried Bacon, Jack, Avocado, and Mornay Sauce - YUM! But I miss the cool guys behind the counter :-( - LizaAbeja
I personally prefer the crêpe cart (also referred to by its formal name "La Crêpe") to Crepeville any day...but hey, thats just me. - JulieLujano
I HIGHLY recommend Alain's Avocado crepe. It's fantastic.— AnnaHamilton
2005-10-20 10:09:59 I like Crepeville's hours and coffee refills (ooh there's an idea for a page), but the Crepe Cart is amazing. Although I have few reasons to go on campus since graduation, this eatery is perhaps the best one I can think of—at least around lunch time. —JaimeRaba
2005-10-20 13:00:04 I'm a fan of the Kathmandu crepe too. —AlexPomeranz
2006-03-08 16:21:11 I love the french kiss... I just wish they heat it a lil longer so alllll the chocolate melts —JoAnnaRich
2006-06-02 01:22:06 The Kathmandu crepe is what i've blown almost all my pseudo-cash on. It is delicious... —PaulArden
2007-04-13 19:16:43 I missed Crepe Bistro, and was so glad I found them here. Delicious! —EdHenn
2007-05-08 11:28:00 If the owner is there watch out, he won't let you get "weird" crepes as it is insulting to his style of food. By weird I mean ingredients that wouldn't normally be seen as going together. —StevenDaubert
2007-09-26 16:49:38 I have never had an onion soup as delicious as the one they used to have at Crepe Bistro. They should bring the recipe over here. —CalamityJanie
2007-09-29 12:11:54 I agree that the French Onion Soup from Crepe Bistro was some of the best. Great idea to bring it over. —CJSD

Does hernia surgery hurt
Common Questions and Answers about Does hernia surgery hurt
Got the surgical consult - He said they would do surgery to fix it after delivery. If it becomes a problem or very painful they are comfortable delivering any time 36 week & on. Still going to try for a vag. delivery even though it may make it worse - he said as long as they can push the bowel back in (after delivery pushing) it's not an emergency (just NOT comfortable). It's a femoral hernia- so not the same as the abdomen ones (what people usually get with c-section scars). What a pain!

I am 32 year old male and he said that when I get older and put on some weight then I should have it checked if it is still there. He claimed doing sit-ups will rid me of the problem within a year. PS, the
nor bother me and only once did I see a very small lump just above the belly button and in a rare occasion felt sore in that area. Also it does not hurt when I exercise. He did mention not to lift heavy weights yet til this was sorted.

I have had
several years ago. my scar is an inch above my belly button. I. have another hernia above my scar. judging by my fingers its about quarter size. i have had this one for a long while. It does affect me if i eat too much and what i eat.. When i did abdominals it does hurt so i stopped doing them. It has been very frustrating. I have not been able to go to the doctor to get anything done because i have had two major foot surgeries that i am trying to get over and heal.

And it freaking hurts already I can't even imagine the next 20 weeks of growth what it will look/feel like! Anyone ever experience this???

this sound like a hiatal

Now at the age that I am, the idea of loosing the remaining testicle during

Loosing a testicle cannot compare to me loosing me life. If you had undescended testicles as a child than the possibility of a hernia is very likely. Talk to your doctor about this and ask him to look for a hernia specifically.

The surgery is a minor surgery and will help the

You don't mention where the
is exactly, but that can be when there is a tear in the muscles/weakened muscle wall and the intestines bulge through that. Sometimes nowadays, they try a very conservative approach. And if it's a hiatal hernia, I don't believe they tend to do anything surgically unless it is very large. Chronic cholecystitis (inflammation of the gallbladder) can be a cause of diarrhea. With diarrhea, you can have electrolyte imbalances and dehydration.

Parishioners react to new Bishop
by Kelsie Smith
Rochester, N.Y. -- Catholics made their way to church Sunday morning, just days after Pope Francis selected 67-year-old Salvatore Matano, a Bishop in Burlington, Vermont as the new Bishop of the Rochester Diocese.
Parishioners welcomed the news after waiting a year.
I'm so glad it's finally started you know, a new beginning, a new bishop, it's great, said Carole DaCurran, Sunday morning at St. Ambrose Church, in Rochester.
Its a big change for the diocese.
Bishop Matthew Clark, who retired September 2012, served for 33 years.
I'm looking forward to see what's going to happen, said parishioner Allen Gefell. We've been under the same leadership for the last 33 years and it's kind of like people get into a rut of what they do and what they say, and it will be a refreshing change, I think.
On Wednesday Salvatore Matano said one thing he hopes to do is increase church attendance.
If you're not practicing the faith, please come home, said Matano. Come home. We miss you. Come home.
Something practicing Catholics were glad to hear.
I like the idea that he's thinking, opening up, said Josephine M. Perini, welcoming people, [and] bringing everyone back to the church.
Bishop Matano plans to lead the diocese for eight years until he's required to retire at age 75.
He will be publically installed as bishop in January.

FriazaWell it only took me 10 days to learn Dream Maker programming AND make an entire RPG, considering the other 6 programming languages I learn this year including Lua and C# XNA, i'd say i'm fine sticking to programming as well as martial arts.

UW-Eau Claire alumnus to present 'A Peace of My Mind' photo exhibitMarch 18, 2013
|UW-Eau Claire alumnus John Noltner
EAU CLAIRE — The University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire will host the exhibit, "A Peace of My Mind," created by John Noltner, a 1990
UW-Eau Claire journalism graduate, from April 1-May 12 in Davies Center, Haas Fine Arts Center, Hibbard Hall and McIntyre Library.
"'A Peace of My Mind' feels like the highest use of my training and experience as a photographer to date," said Noltner, an award-winning photographer and author. "It makes perfect sense to bring the project back to UW-Eau Claire where my photographic and journalistic interests were nurtured and developed."
Noltner is a freelance photographer based in Minneapolis specializing in images of people, lifestyle and travel. He has been capturing images from around the world for 20 years working on projects in settings such as corporate boardrooms as well as developing nations.
Noltner's photos have been published in numerous regional and national magazines, including Forbes, Health, Midwest Living, National Geographic Traveler, World Traveler, Reader's Digest and Smithsonian. His fine art photographs have been exhibited nationally and are included in corporate and private collections as well as the permanent collections of the University of Minnesota and the Minnesota History Center.
In 2009 Noltner began working on "A Peace of My Mind," a documentary project exploring the meaning of peace by asking ordinary people the question, "What does peace mean to you?" The exhibit contains portraits and personal stories of 52 diverse subjects. The subjects are each showcased on a 24-by-36-inch canvas gallery wrap that includes their name, a short biography, a portrait and a 250-word excerpt from their interview about what peace means to them. The people profiled include Holocaust survivors and a homeless man, a Somali refugee and a military chaplain, a pottery instructor and an oil company executive.
In 2010 "A Peace of my Mind" was produced as a traveling exhibit, in part through funding from the Minnesota State Arts Board, which has been hosted nationally by colleges, libraries, galleries and community groups. The project grew into a website, a series of podcasts and ultimately a book with a foreword written by Ela Gandhi, granddaughter of Mahatma Gandhi. "A Peace of My Mind" received a 2011 Midwest Book Award gold medallion and was a silver medalist in the 2012 Independent Publishers Book Awards.
Gandhi, in her forward to "A Peace of My Mind," writes, "We need to appreciate the richness of our diverse heritage and begin to see the value of global citizenship, so that peace and social and political justice may prevail in the world. Perhaps it will inspire us to become peacemakers."
Gandhi is scheduled to present a Forum Special presentation as the culmination of the "A Peace of My Mind" exhibit at 7:30 p.m. May 7 in Schofield Auditorium.
"The project has grown from a small personal interest into a national art project," Noltner said. "Part documentary, part social activism and part personal encouragement, 'A Peace of My Mind' has grown to have an impact greater than I could have imagined. The wisdom of the project comes from others and the stories people have graciously shared."
As a student at UW-Eau Claire, Noltner worked closely with Rick Mickelson, administrative program manager in the Learning and Technology Services unit and returned to campus in December 2012 to work with current art students on additions to the exhibit, which will be featured during an opening reception, sponsored by the UW-Eau Claire Foundation and Alumni Association, at 7 p.m. April 9 in the Alumni Room of Davies Center.
Students Phillip Schladweiler, Alison Wheeler and Drew Hagen worked with Noltner to learn his process for taking portraits and interviewing local residents about what peace means to them. This local part of the "A Peace of My Mind" project is sponsored by the UW-Eau Claire Foundation, with the results becoming part of the university collection.
Mickelson said he is thrilled about Noltner returning to campus with the exhibit and about his involvement with current art students.
"I love his current project, and I'm happy that UW-Eau Claire will have the opportunity to engage with the simple, important question, 'What does peace mean to you?'" Mickelson said. "It was so exciting for me to watch John work with students on his project. It took me back to the time when he was a student here working in the photo lab. Now to see him come back and share his experience and expertise with students just starting their careers is very rewarding."
Noltner said he was impressed by how seriously the students took their task and how interested they became in the process by embracing their role, asking questions and pushing through some difficult situations to produce stories and images that will be a strong voice for the UW-Eau Claire community.
"It was clear to me that UW-Eau Claire has done well to provide an environment where students feel empowered to dig deep for the education they desire," Noltner said. "Any learning institution can offer the opportunities to engage students, but unless the students are willing to put in the hard work and embrace those opportunities, very little learning will take place.
"UW-Eau Claire is a unique environment and community for learning, and not only am I looking forward to spending time on campus with the exhibit, I am excited and proud that my son has selected UW-Eau Claire as the college he will attend in the fall."
In addition to the exhibit, Noltner will be on campus participating in events including classroom discussions on diversity, public lectures and an exhibit talk.
Scheduled events open to the public include:
- Exhibit opening reception with a spotlight on the local additions to the exhibit created by UW-Eau Claire students: 7 p.m. Tuesday, April 9, in the Alumni Room of Davies Center.
- "A Peace of My Mind" public lecture: 10 a.m. Wednesday, April 10, in Room 101 of the Haas Fine Arts Center.
- "A Peace of My Mind" public lecture: 3:15 p.m. Wednesday, April 10, in Hibbard Hall 103.
- Ela Gandhi campus visit and Forum Special presentation: 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, May 7, in Schofield Auditorium. Visit the Gandhi Forum Special website for more information.

- The net investment income tax (NIIT) is a new, permanent tax that began in 2013.
- Investors' workplace retirement plans, such as 401(k) plans, may offer several opportunities to reduce exposure to the tax.
- The Columbia Management Learning Center is dedicating a series of blog articles to this important and timely "Navigating the New Tax Regime" topic.
Many higher-income investors with taxable investments encountered a new tax that began 2013: the 3.8% tax on net investment income (NII). The NIIT applies to the lesser of the amount of: (a) Modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) that exceeds an income threshold based on tax filing status or (b) NII. (Related reading: What is the Net Investment Income Tax, and how is it calculated?)
However, investors may be surprised to learn there are ways to "rearrange" or reassign income in order to lower MAGI and/or reduce NII that counts towards the application of the tax. This rearranging can potentially reduce or eliminate altogether the impact of NIIT. Investors' workplace retirement plans, such as 401(k) plans and nonqualified deferred compensation plans, may offer several opportunities to reduce MAGI and/or NII.
- Maximizing salary deferrals to a 401(k) plan. Pre-tax salary deferrals reduce an investor's MAGI up front and they are never counted as NII. Neither are the earnings they may generate while held in the 401(k). Remember, though, that any distributions of pre-tax dollars from a 401(k) plan increase an investor's MAGI when eventually withdrawn.
- Making 401(k) designated Roth contributions. Although Roth 401(k) contributions are included in MAGI up front, they are never counted as NII. Better yet, if they grow while held in the 401(k), any gain is tax-deferred and excluded from NII, and qualified distributions are tax-free — meaning they are not included in NII or MAGI when withdrawn.
- Nonqualified deferred compensation plans. Contributions to nonqualified deferred compensation plans do not count toward MAGI. Their earnings, if any, while held in the plan are tax-deferred and do not constitute NII. Distributions from nonqualified deferred compensation plans are not considered NII, but they would be considered in MAGI.
- After-tax 401(k) contributions. Another often overlooked opportunity that could enable participants to shelter more money in a tax-deferred account, even if they have maxed out their salary deferrals, is a standard after-tax contribution account in their 401(k) plan. Over 56% of defined contribution plans, according to the Plan Sponsor Council of America, have so-called after-tax accounts, which are separate from designated Roth contribution accounts. Here's how a standard after-tax contribution account can help. Let's say Tina and Terry, a married couple, max out their pre-tax contributions in their workplace retirement plans in order to keep their combined income below a tax threshold. Let's also assume Terry's workplace retirement plan has an after-tax contribution account. It happens that the combination of Terry's salary deferrals and the company's match that he receives does not cause Terry to reach his overall plan contribution limit for the year (known in the industry as the "415 limit"). That means there is room for Terry to potentially contribute more to the plan through his after-tax contribution account.
Of course, tax considerations are only one aspect of an investor's financial plan. Investors should only make investment decisions after consulting with their personal tax advisors who will help them take into consideration specific financial needs, objectives, goals, time horizons and risk tolerance.

When Ricardo and Nancy Mermet opened Tango Restaurant, their mission was to bring a flavorful slice of Argentina to the Northeast. Sides of beef rotate slowly on spits over an open-flame grill, searing to premium tenderness and juiciness before a knife-wielding asadore (grill chef) carves off the choicest cuts. The menu revolves around beef entrees, such as filet mignon topped with roquefort cheese, but it also showcases grilled chicken marinated in lemon sauce and seafood dishes such as seasoned sole prepared with red sauce and cheese. Adventurous diners can try delicacies such as kidney and sweetbreads (usually made from the throat or pancreas), and super-adventurous diners can enjoy their meals while suspended above a shark tank.
Tango's vinegar-parsley chimichurri sauce complements the flavor of entrees, leading some diners to eat up to 2 pounds of meat in a single sitting, according to Ricardo and Nancy. Tango's chic wood bar pours wine and beer, and an open space invites diners to shimmy off their dinner by performing the eatery's eponymous dance amid dim mood lighting and exposed brick walls.
The chefs at Rosaria take pride in their steaks, insisting on working only with cuts of aged, corn-fed Midwestern USDA Prime beef. They exert equal energy and care when it comes to crafting their Italian dishes and seafood specialties, grilling the finest cuts of swordfish and salmon. Rosaria's elegant dining rooms tout glimmering chandeliers that beam down on hardwood floors, white-clothed tables, and big cushy banquettes. Behind the glossy wood bar wait more than 200 different varieties of international wines. The restaurant offers guests the option of having their own private wine locker, where they may keep their favorite bottles safe from malevolent corkscrews.
"Basta, basta!" The words may as well be a mantra at Midwest Grill. The term, meaning "enough" in Portuguese, is the perfect finish to the churrascaria's all-you-can-eat cavalcade of grilled meats and hearty seafood dishes. Passadores—the Brazilian word for waiters—rotate around tables, slicing fresh-grilled skewers of beef sirloin, Brazilian-style ribs, and succulent lamb and pork loin on to plates at the feaster's demand. This dining style is known as rodízio, and it doesn't just apply to churrasco meats; patrons can also opt for seafood options, such as Brazilian fish stew and sautéed shrimp, or engage a server in a duel with a carving fork. The all-you-can-eat meal is served at a fixed price at both lunch and dinner, and includes unlimited helpings from the salad bar and hot-food buffet. Each of Midwest Grill's locations also houses a TV-lined bar, where mixologists concoct cocktails and pop open bottles of Brazilian beer and wine.
Situated on Salem's scenic Pickering Wharf, Capt's Waterfront - Premium Steak & Seafood Grill provides guests with picturesque harbor views from its upstairs dining room and deck or first-floor bar and grill. While catching sports games playing on the widescreen televisions, guests in the bar and grill can overlook the harbor while cozied up next to the fireplace. Upstairs, the main dining area offers an ideal atmosphere for a romantic date or special event, with a full wine list and meals of charcoal-grilled steaks, lobster, and other market-fresh seafood. On Sundays, brunch momentarily takes over the eatery, with specialties such as lobster eggs benedict and apple-and-cheese French toast box served with a Bloddy Mary bar and bottomless coffees or espresso drinks.
Aikia Steakhouse's staff goes beyond providing food: the chefs make elegant presentation a core part of the dining experience. From arranging sushi rolls artfully on plates to sizzling hibachi entrees on teppanyaki tables right in front of customers, the team takes the doldrums out of dining without the use of motorcycles. Their menu catalogs 20 hibachi dinners, including filet mignon, 28 maki and hand rolls, and several lunch specials. The decor is as upscale as the culinary presentation, with rows of plants set against wood accents and shoji screens marking private tatami rooms.

take his word, or expect the worst?
Find a Conversation
|Sun, 10-20-2013 - 1:53pm
Hi! I used to be pretty active on iVillage a few years back, but haven't been around in forever. So, here I am.
Here's the situation-
I'm 27. Divorced last year after 6 years of being married to my only serious relationship. Moved back to where I'm from. I have a career, a part-time job on the side, show my horses all the time and am finishing my Master's degree. I haven't really dated since my divorce because I've been simply living my life, moving on, etc. Well, long story short, I met a guy. He's a year older than me. We went out last Monday for dinner- had a great time. Conversation was awesome, etc. He kissed me when he walked me to my car, and throughout the night, mentioned mutliple times getting together again. Throughout the week, we talked. Not as much as I WANTED, but maybe that's part of my problem. He is a cop, and works long hours, which are complete opposite of my hours right now. On Wednesday, he asked me for another date on Friday, which I agreed to. Had another awesome time. I definitely enjoyed it, and he said he did too. He wasn't sure if he was going to have to fill in for a co-worker on Saturday night, but he asked me if I was busy on Saturday, and I said during the day, yes, but was free at night. He asked if I'd like to get together again if he didn't have to fill in, and I said yes. Little-to-nothing on Saturday during the day- I was thinking- why isn't he asking me to make plans for tonight, or at least telling me if he has to work or not? So, before I made other plans, I texted him to see if he was working, or if I would get to see him again. He said he didn't have to work, but was broke. I said we didn't have to go out if he just wanted to watch a movie, which he had mentioned the night before. Normally I'd pay, but of course, I misplaced my debit card and have limited cash until Monday- which he knows. He then said he was really tired, and was going to go to bed early so he could start to adjust to being back on regular hours (early mornings.) I was disappointed, because we were in the early stages of making plans to watch a movie together when he said, "Hey, on second thought..." I was taken back. I told him that if he just doesn't want to see me anymore, then that's fine ,but I would like to know. He said that was not the case, that he would have told me, and that he definitely wants to see me again. I believed him, and said goodnight and went to bed. This morning, I texted him that I finally found my debit card and that next time we go out, it's on me. He read the msg but hasn't gotten back to me. Do I believe him that he wants to see me again, or think he's really blowing me off?!

Written by George Freedman, DDS Thursday, 16 August 2012 08:38
In First Impressions George Freedman, DDS, gives readers a brief summary of products that have recently been introduced to dentistry, based on his clinical experience.
Sealants are one of the mainstays of protecting children (and adults) from occlusal decay. The benefits of a fluoride-releasing sealant are evident; most sealants, having released their tooth-protecting ions, are simply physical barriers to decay. Unfortunately, sealants are underused; children, particularly young ones, are not particularly fond of the tooth-etching process. The acidic taste of the etch makes the first quadrant difficult and subsequent quadrants positively challenging. Shofu Dental's innovative BeautiSealant has solved these problems and more. First and foremost, the procedure requires no etching: simply apply primer (5 seconds), air-dry (5 seconds), apply sealant, and light-cure (10 seconds). The absence of phosphoric acid-etching is greatly appreciated by both the children and the hygienists. BeautiSealant is a giomer, containing surface pre-reacted glass. The unique property of this filler material is that it has been clinically shown to recharge fluoride from high-ionic varnishes and rinses. The giomer releases fluoride, sodium, strontium, aluminum, silicate, and borate, all with known bioactive properties. The BeautiSealant primer has dual-adhesive monomers that are designed to penetrate pits and fissures and to prepare them for improved bonding. The ionic recharge and release slows demineralization and promotes remineralization of enamel while exhibiting a demonstrable antiplaque effect. The decrease of bacteria results in a reduction of cariogenic flora and their associated acid production. The bubble-free consistency facilitates application and the 0.92 Al radiopacity differentiates the sealant from both enamel and dentin. The 27-gauge application tip combined with the no-ooze syringe eliminates overfilling and subsequent occlusal adjustment. Etchless, the BeautiSealant is a welcome addition to any preventively oriented practice.
Select HV Etch
Every practitioner uses acid-etching many times each and every day. This is a predictable and well-established procedure throughout dentistry. The controversies of the early 1990s, when there was serious concern that etching dentin might cause irreversible pulpal damage, have long ago been laid to rest. Most current etching products are rather flowable; they tend to spread extensively on the tooth surface immediately after application. While this seems to have little clinical impact, it must be remembered that every area of enamel or dentin that is activated by an etching material has effectively been demineralized. If it is bonded immediately, there is no long-term adverse effect. If the affected area is not bonded, it becomes a target for bacteria and plaque that can further weaken the tooth surface. BISCO Dental Products' Select HV Etch is a highly thixotropic etchant for both enamel and dentin that selectively demineralizes only those areas to which it has been applied. The material does not flow! The high viscosity offers pinpoint placement and eliminates run-on onto adjacent surfaces. Thus, it is ideal for the selective or hybrid techniques that require the etching of enamel margins while avoiding contiguous dentin. Select HV Etch contains benzalkonium chloride, an effective antimicrobial agent. It is important to rinse off all etchants prior to adhesive application; Select HV Etch is blue in color for easy visualization and contrast with the surrounding dental tissues. It also washes off hard- and soft-tissue surfaces very readily without leaving any film or residues. Select HV Etch is available in 5-g syringes or in a 40-mL bulk syringe.

Wrath Beta patch notes: Feral and Restoration Druids
Continuing on from the analysis of the changes to the Balance druid talent tree, as shown in the first patch notes for the official Wrath of the Lich King Beta, we'll now examine the Feral and Restoration trees.
Feral tree
The Feral tree is seeing changes to limit the benefits that the other two trees, specifically Restoration, can gain from investing a few points into the first few tiers. We are also seeing changes to the ways in which bears will be generating aggro.
The Faerie Fire (Feral) and Feral Charge swap
Feral Charge is currently an 11-point talent into the Feral tree, which contributing to the advantages that Restoration druids currently have in arena. It allows Restoration druids the ability to charge, immobilizing their target and interrupting spells for four seconds.
Instead, Faerie Fire (Feral), which is not something that a Restoration druid would likely spend 11 points to get, will take up the 11-point spot, with Feral Charge taking its place in the tree 21 points in.
In addition, Feral Charge will be usable in cat form, dazing the target and moving the cat behind it. This will help address the concerns that cat form is not especially viable in PvP, although their crit dependency is still a weakness. It will also be useful in dungeons to catch runners and other out of place mobs.

The first time I heard the term, "Obsessive Compulsive Disorder," or OCD, I was eight years old.
I had been seeing a therapist because I felt the need to touch certain objects a specific number of times, in a specific way, in order to keep the world safe and keep my parents alive.
I'd created rituals that I thought would allow me to control events. If I touch my doorknob eight times, Mom and Dad will come home unharmed. If I read the same page six times in a row, I won't be orphaned. I was diagnosed with OCD.
Though I despised these repetitions, I needed them. They had an irrational logic which made me feel protected and allowed me to function. But when I turned 12, something cracked: the OCD became so controlling and incapacitating that I had to be out of school for four months, spent my days with tutors and therapists, and had thoughts about dying.

Listening to conference calls is one of the many strategies I apply for gathering Intel on future prospects of companies. Even though these calls are considered public information, investors just don't have the time to look beyond a press release, giving us a chance to take advantage of information inefficiencies. I particularly salivate at opportunities to listen to calls between earning releases, such as investor presentations, when investors often become increasingly lazy. I look forward to selling them my shares at higher prices when the company repeats bullish information in its earnings press release.
As I just issued an update on Cpi Aerostructures (NYSE AMEX:CVU) on January 26, 2010, I was eager to listen to an investor presentation replay that took place on February 11, 2010. I hoped to attain a better grasp on my assumption that CVU would report a stellar 2009 fourth quarter as well as glean insight into the growth outlook heading into 2010.
I have been on hundreds of conference calls and I can say that this is one of the most bullish I have experienced. So much so, I added to my position. CEO, Ed Fred, was articulate and inferred several times that his aggressive EPS guidance for 2009 of $0.63 to $0.69 and long term growth expectations, supported by its new business model that focuses more on subcontracted work than primary government contracts, are still in tact. I found this particularly interesting since this is similar strategy Electronic Control Securities (OTC BB:EKCS), a stock I just profiled on the street, has embarked upon.
Unfortunately, the company did not provide specific 2010 guidance. I found this odd since during the presentation the company expressed confidence that it may able to achieve net income of $8 million in 2011 on $75 million in revenues. As in my initial article, I am left to ponder what 2010 might look like. The problem lies with the three year compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) assumption CVU issued at the end of 2008 of 50% to 60% for net income and 30% to 35% for revenues. Without getting too technical, the CAGR formula basically only takes into account your beginning and end year periods. So, over a three year period, as long as you hit the the year three number implied by the formula, it doesn't matter what happens in year two. Regardless, loaded with the ammo of 2011 expectations and a confirmation of its long-term growth forecast, I came up with a best efforts 2010 EPS target of $0.96. Analyst estimates are calling for 2010 EPS to reach $1.01. I urge investors to make their own assumptions and listen to the conference call replay.
CVU plans to comment on 2010 guidance in its year end press release.
