Children's Book Reviews
Book Review: Doomwyte
By Sandy Amazeen Aug 20, 2008, 5:21 GMT
On a moonless night, two rats follow hypnotic lights into the forest, never to be seen again. Such is the power of the Doomwytes, sinister ravens led by the deadly Korvus Skurr. And when the young mouse Bisky persuades the creatures of Redwall Abbey to go in search of a fabled treasure, hidden long ago by one of the abbeyâs most notorious thieves, they do not suspect Skurr and his ...more
Master storyteller Jacques returns to the small, magical world of Redwall with a tale of stolen treasure. Long ago, Gonff the Prince of Mousethieves crept into a dark cavern and discovered a macabre group that revered the Great Doomwyte Idol. Set on an island, the hideous statue had large bejeweled eyes, two of rubies and two of emeralds. True to his nature, Gonff stole the jewels, made good his escape and presented the gems to his wife who begged him to hide the evil things.
Korvus Skurr, leader of the underground raven cult has sworn to locate and restore the gems to their rightful place. Setting out a network of spies, Korvus maintains a watch over the Redwallers hoping to find someone with information about the eyes. Meanwhile, young Bisky and a collection of friends including rabbits, moles and squirrels begin solving a series of riddles that will send them on hair raising underground adventures. If the Redwallers are to prevail against the dark forces led by Skurr and Balis, Bisky will have to forge alliances with the Gonfelin and Guosim tribes. It wont be easy but then, nothing good ever is and certainly few things are more difficult then growing up.
Although this charming story is marketed as a young adults book, it will doubtlessly appeal to fantasy readers of all ages. It is an epic tale of good verses evil that plays out with a large cast of well-developed, endearing animal characters and a nicely executed storyline. Readers new to the Redwaller series can jump right in and enjoy the quick pace and share the sense of discovery with Bisky and friends.

There May Be More to Salesforce's RelateIQ Buy Than Meets the Eye
July 14, 2014

Red Hat's Acquisition-Fueled Climb to the Cloud
June 26, 2014
Red Hat is famous for focusing squarely on a market and technology and building success from there, as it did with Linux. However, the company increasingly has diverged from its roots and historical laser focus on the enterprise x86 server market. The overarching theme and identity of Red Hat is still open source software, but the main driver for the company clearly is now cloud computing.
SnappyTV Could Amp Up Twitter Amplify
June 19, 2014
Twitter just announced a new addition to its social-TV arsenal: SnappyTV, an online service that allows content owners to clip, edit and share video from live broadcasts in near-real time. "As we continue to invest in video, it's important for us to provide tools that make it easy for TV broadcasters, businesses, and event producers to share high-quality videos," said Twitter's Baljeet Singh.
How Will Regulators Chaperone the Big Merger Dance?
June 19, 2014
SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son may have new hope for a Sprint, T-Mobile merger. After SoftBank merged with Sprint last summer, Son set his sights on T-Mobile. There was early resistance from regulators, but that may be softening, with Comcast-Time Warner Cable and AT&T-DirecTV having joined the merger dance. Trying to understand and predict what regulators will do is always a challenge.
If Amazon Builds It, Will They Come?
June 17, 2014
Amazon is poised to reveal its very first smartphone, and the rumor mill is in full swing. It's expected to include a 3D display, utilizing sensors or retina-tracking technology in four front-facing cameras to detect eye positioning and movement in order to project a 3D image without the need for 3D glasses. It reportedly will be available exclusively from AT&T.
Priceline Hits the Sweet Spot With OpenTable Bid
June 16, 2014
Priceline last week announced an agreement to buy OpenTable for US$2.6 billion. Priceline is paying $103 per share for the online restaurant reservation service in the all-cash transaction. The companies are positioning the deal as a synergistic play in which they will be able to enhance services for both of their customer bases. OpenTable will give Priceline an entrée into restaurant marketing.
AT&T, DirecTV Merger Could Hamper Cord-Cutting
June 13, 2014
AT&T's planned merger with DirecTV is far from a done deal. Among the objections that have been raised is one stemming from a filing this week with the FCC. There is now concern that the merger would make it more difficult for consumers to cut their cable-TV cords. The companies told the FCC in a public interest statement that the merger is the only way they would be able to compete.
Google Buys Skybox in Move to Democratize Space
June 11, 2014
Google's acquisition of Skybox may be a small step for the search giant, but it could be a giant leap for the Internet. Google on Tuesday announced its intention to buy the satellite imaging startup for $500 million. The move not only would enhance Google's satellite imaging resources, but also provide it with some top talent for its blue-sky plans for space.
Salesforce, MS Deal Could Put Mobile CRM on Steroids
May 30, 2014
Now "anyone can run their business from their phone," Salesforce.com recently promised when it announced its Salesforce1 Mobile App. Many company announcements tend to overpromise, and Salesforce has a tendency to be particularly exuberant, so I took it with the customary grain of salt. My skepticism vanished on Thursday, when Salesforce and Microsoft announced a global strategic partnership.
The Real Reason Apple Bought Beats: Addiction
May 30, 2014
I get the sense that a good many Apple enthusiasts are confused by its acquisition of Beats Electronics. Sure, many are nodding their heads, saying that Beats is good for Apple and makes total sense. The headphones are selling well. With 250,000 paying subscribers, the Beats Music service is taking off fast, and it can only be elevated by Apple's global brand and infrastructure.
Sony, China Strike PlayStation Deal
May 27, 2014
Japanese electronics giant Sony has inked a deal in China to manufacture and sell PlayStation consoles in the Middle Kingdom. The partnership creates two joint ventures with Shanghai Oriental Pearl, which will enable Sony to operate out of Shanghai's free trade zone. China's early-2014 approval of videogame consoles from foreign companies reversed a years-long ban.
AT&T Catches a Wave
May 22, 2014
Change is good. Industry consolidation seems to come in waves, and the next wave seems to be starting. Together, AT&T and DirecTV will be a strong new competitor in the pay-television space. That's great. Unless traditional cable-TV companies get their act together, this merger could be another nail in their coffin. This is a busy time in the industry.
AT&T Gambles on DirecTV
May 20, 2014
AT&T has agreed to acquire DirecTV in order to expand its consumer offerings across additional platforms and better compete in the ever-evolving telecom industry. The merger of the U.S.' second-largest wireless provider and second-largest pay-TV company would be worth about $48.5 billion. With the inclusion of DirecTV's net debt, the total transaction value would rise to $67.1 billion.
Anonymous Philippines Harasses China
May 20, 2014
Anonymous Philippines, the Philippines branch of the hacktivist collective Anonymous, defaced more than 200 Chinese websites over a territorial dispute between the two countries. The group announced the move on its Facebook page, offering a detailed list of all websites it had infiltrated. The hacking spree stems from the dustup over Scarborough Shoal, also known as "Huangyan Island."
Yahoo Buys Blink Team, App to Go Dark
May 15, 2014
Yahoo has acquired Blink, a mobile app that destroys messages at a predetermined time set by the user. Yahoo intends to shut down both the iOS and Android versions of the app in the coming weeks. Blink made its debut just a year ago. The conventional thinking is that Yahoo acquired Blink largely for its talent, as it seeks to build out a robust portfolio of mobile products.
AT&T May Be Suiting Up to Battle Comcast
May 13, 2014
AT&T has been negotiating to buy DirecTV for close to $50 billion, based on reports that surfaced Monday. The deal, which has not been confirmed by the companies, could close within a few weeks. The current option on the table, according to anonymous sources, would be largely a stock trade but it would include some cash, with AT&T offering in the low- to mid-$90s per share for DirecTV.
Google Picks Up Appetas
May 12, 2014
Google last week acquired restaurant website builder Appetas, a move that could strengthen its relationships with small businesses and ratchet up competition with Yelp, which currently dominates the restaurant review scene. Appetas helps restaurants increase their online presence by building out professional websites that can be integrated with locally focused services.
Breaking Down the Crazy Apple-Buying-Beats Riff
May 09, 2014
The hottest -- and possibly craziest -- tech rumor of the week is, hands down, that Apple is in negotiations to acquire Beats Electronics for $3.2 billion. Based on a single report, the story has been fanned into a raging inferno faster than a wildfire on a hot August day. Unfortunately, the only cited source for the rumor is "people familiar with the deal."
EMC World 2014: Building a Company to Last
May 05, 2014
EMC World -- the company's annual customer, user and partner conference -- kicks off this week in Las Vegas. So it seems like a good time to compare and contrast EMC's current position in the marketplace to its competitors' positions -- and even to its own history. In fact, those points were clarified in its recent Q1 2014 earnings call.
Nokia Launches Fund to Invest in Smart Vehicles
May 05, 2014
Nokia has created a $100 million fund earmarked for investing in firms that specialize in connected and smart vehicles. The move comes days after the Finnish firm forked over its handset unit to Microsoft. Nokia already has a mapping-and-location company called "Here." The new fund will be designed to support the growth of the ecosystem around Here's mapping and location products and services.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama says that "while freedom is a gift from God, it must be secured by his people here on Earth."
Delivering his second inaugural address, the president said that the inalienable rights set out in the Declaration of Independence may be self-evident — but "they've never been self-executed."
The president says we must do these things together, as one nation and one people.
Obama spoke shortly after taking the public oath of office for his second term Monday. He addressed hundreds of thousands on the National Mall and millions more watching worldwide.

Two new barbecue restaurants give the classic Southern-style of cooking a big apple flair. Zagat editor Kelly Dobkin filed the following report for NY1.
Barbecue enthusiast Bill Fletcher is the man behind a new Brooklyn eatery that puts its own unique spin on BBQ, with an emphasis on high-quality locally sourced ingredients.
"When we opened Fletcher's Brooklyn Barbecue, our goal was to create a classic counter service barbecue joint," Fletcher says. "We're in a urban setting here in Brooklyn, a little bit different than Memphis and Texas and Kansas City. We bring a lot of pork, brisket, ribs to the great neighborhood in Gowanus."
The wood used to make Fletcher's smoky BBQ comes from a farmer in upstate New York, and the J and R pit comes directly from Mesquite Texas.
"It's a full-on log-burning barbecue smoker with no gas and no interference between the wood smoke and the heat that comes with the fire and the interaction with the meat and the wood," says Matt Fisher, pitmaster at Fletcher's Brooklyn Barbecue. "So it's as close to an authentic live-fire barbecue product as you can get. That's what makes it special."
Another new BBQ hall is The Strand Smokehouse in Astoria, Queens, which serves up a mix of smokehouse classics.
"The feeling we're going for is definitely casual, kind of roadhouse-y, but we left enough room for strollers for brunch and we wanted to be 'neighborhood,'" says Eric Miley, chef at The Strand Smokehouse. "The wood is reclaimed, found here and there, guy in the neighborhood this, guy in the neighborhood that, and that's really what it's all about."
In addition to serving up a variety of hand-carved BBQ meats, the restaurant also offers an impressive selection of craft beers, bourbons and signature cocktails.
"The cocktail program taken care of by a great guy Dan Bronson, and the whiskeys, I mean, they're behind me and they speak for themselves," Miley says. "The artwork is great on the barrels. That's what's in there, and nobody else has that."

I Geek: Embroidery
What do you geek?
That's the question staff members at the Southwest Oklahoma City Library are asking their customers as part of the national Geek The Library community awareness campaign.
Geek The Library features local educational material that introduces "geek" as a verb and encourages the public to talk about what they geek, whether it's engineering, superheroes, music, zombies, or cooking. The campaign illustrates the fact that everyone is passionate about something—everyone 'geeks' something—and that the library supports them all. Library staffers have been teaming up with local businesses to offer folks opportunities to share their 'geeks' with the world, and so far have collected lots of interesting and fun responses.
This week's featured participant geeks embroidery. The participant also said, "The library for me means that I get to learn new things. Or, I get to escape in a story." She can explore and indulge her passion at the library with titles like the ones that follow.

It would be a felony to dress as a gangster lady in any other pair of shoes! Shoes are two tone oxford style shoes with white lace up tops, a 5" black high heel, black laces, black accents, and a cut out in the front. Patent Polyurethane. Spot clean.
Shoes are made for walkin'... Please try out the fit and comfort of your shoes before you use them. Shoes that show obvious wear or are missing the original packaging are not returnable.

Title: Fun but painful
Date: Sep 13, 2012
I am putting "Runs Large" because the lace area above the arch is loose. There is really no way to tighten it down either, which leaves you without much support and in shoes this high and a night of dancing I REALLY needed them to be more stable :) Very fun shoes, well made. I wear an 8 and ordered an 8, after wearing them for the evening I wish I would have gone down a size.

Title: sharp but hard on ball of foot
Date: Oct 18, 2011
The reason why I put sizing too large is that it is really roomy above the toes. there is about an inch above the tops of my toes but at least that leaves room for me to put padding in for the balls of my feet....which I will need considering the height of the shoe. The price is good compared to three other sites and pretty decent quality for non leather and true to length in size. I usually wear a 9.5 in Nine West and generally order 10's in other brands and it fit.

We're now at the end of the fifth month of 2013, which is simply amazing — how quickly this year is going by! With the summer months soon bringing a bunch of diabetes conference activity, we feel especially motivated to highlight all the great posts from this past month.
So, in no particular order, here are some of our recent faves from the Diabetes Online Community (DOC):
Our D-Community came together online once again for the fourth annual Diabetes Blog Week that ran May 13-19, the brainchild of Karen Graffeo at Bitter-Sweet Diabetes that featured more than 100 posts every day! Obviously, that's just too many great posts to name individually, so make sure you check out Karen's listings for each day's awesome posts.
On a serious note, you likely didn't miss the news about the devastating tornadoes in Oklahoma earlier this month. But what wasn't as publicized was all the great work that fellow PWDs, Pharma companies, and organizations have been doing to help those who need D-supplies in the affected areas. Fellow D-Blogger Kelly Kunik has a comprehensive wrap on those efforts at her blog, Diabetesaliciousness.
A handful of D-Advocates came together on May 21 for the first-ever Diabetes Hope Conference, a web-based event that D-Blogger and fellow PWD Scott Johnson helped coordinate to get a real conversation going about how people can talk more openly about diabetes complications. That virtual conference is now available online, and there are a few panels you can watch to get an idea what the conversation was all about.
Being at the Lilly Diabetes Blogger Summit late last month gave us the chance to experience the insulin-making process up close and personal, and for D-Dad Scott Benner it was an emotional experience that actually brought him to tears.
What do dinosaurs and good health care insurance have in common? Christel at The Perfect Diabetic has the answer… and it's a great read!
Our community is full of bloggers and authors and poets alike, and D-Dad Tim Brand shows off his poetic talents in a post about what it's like raising two children with type 1.
Wow, how time flies when you're… writing about diabetes. Kerri at Six Until Me was one of the first in the community to start blogging (just after Amy started!), and she marked 8 years in the DOC this month with a little bloggy-design makeover. Nice!
A Day of Diabetes, Moment by Moment… that's what Chris Snider at A Consequence of Hypoglycemia got going with this post that prompted some others in the DOC to join in on the "real-time diabetes" online action using the twitter hashtag, #dayofdiabetes. It's never too late to start, so go on and join in the fun!
A few D-Moms in the community decided to make it known that while they are famous for their Superhero Human-Pancreas talents, they are in fact more than just Type Awesomes. They have other roles, too. Hallie Addington started the ball rolling on the "More Than Just A D-Mom" series, and several others joined in during May.
Fellow type 1 blogger Stephen over at the Happy Medium wrote a post comparing all his options to treat Lows and Highs, and it was an interesting look at the differences in how we feel about those two extremes on the blood sugar rollercoaster.
Many of us who've been at this diabetes game a while remember those dreaded Exchange Systems back before the days of carb-counting, and Jess Collins has a great post with a little perspective on how much she appreciates the fact that most foods are Not Forbidden Anymore.
Yes, pregnancy and diabetes can be a touchy topic… but when you read Karen's post at Blah Blah Brooklyn, you can not only cheer for her good news but also for the image she shares at the end of the post.
We couldn't help LOL'ing (laughing out loud) while reading about Shara's "nail-biting" experience getting her nails done and not having to carry the emergency on-call pager that she often must tote everywhere because of her role as a pediatric endo-in-training. But, of course, diabetes found its way to come along for the ride anyway!
Writing diabetes reminders on your fingers can work — as long as you don't get confused thinking "PB" meant peanut butter instead of pre-bolus! Take a cue from Reva at TypeONEderful on this one.
We share our favorites every month, but we want to include yours! Please send along your D-post picks for the month of June to us via email. We look forward to hearing from y'all.

"We have been working in the nearby townships, doing children's ministry, for the first part of the summer," wrote April Sylvester from South Africa. "We got trained in Bible story telling and would put on lessons for the creches, and then have training sessions to teach the Sunday School teachers how to replicate it. The last part of the summer, we did a program called 'Valuable To Jesus' in eight creches that teaches the children their worth to God and educating them on 'good touch' and 'bad touch' in order to stop/prevent child sexual abuse and exploitation in the community."

Something that seems to come up a lot in JavaScript work is the need to figure out what kind of thing you're dealing with — is it a string? a number? a Date? And JavaScript has various features to help you do that, but there are some "gotchas" to watch out for. In this post I'll talk about various strategies for figuring out what things are.
Basically, you have four tools you can use, each of which has its place:
- typeof
- instanceof (and obj.constructor)
- Object.prototype.toString
- Learn to stop worrying and love the duck
Let's look at each of them:
typeof is fast but fairly limited. It basically tells you whether something is a primitive or an object, and if it's a primitive it tells you what kind of primitive it is, but for all objects other than functions, it just says "object". So:
alert(typeof "testing"); // "string", but:
alert(typeof new String("testing")); // "object"
(And similar for numbers and booleans.) But it's useful for, say, determining if something is a function:
if (typeof x === "function") {
// Yes it is
typeof's chief advantage is speed.
instanceof (and obj.constructor)
instanceof sort of picks up where typeof leaves off. It's good for checking whether something is a specific kind of object, e.g.:
var t = new Date(...);
alert(a instanceof Date); // "true"
Specifically, it checks if the object's constructor strictly equals (===) a given constructor function. You can do this yourself if you like, the constructor of an object is available via its constructor property, and so these are nearly equivalent statements:
var d = new Date();
alert(d instanceof Date); // "true"
alert(d.constructor === Date); // also "true"
...except that if you've explicitly assigned a different value to the constructor property, instanceof checks the actual underlying constructor whereas the second statement above would be fooled — whether that's good or bad depends on your reasons for setting the property!
You do have to be careful with instanceof (and checking constructor) in some edge cases, though, particularly if you're writing a library and so have less control / knowledge of the environment in which it will be running. The issue is that if you're working in a multiple-window environment (frames, iframes), you might receive a date d (for instance) from another window, in which case d instanceof Date will return "false" — because d wasn't created by that window's Date, it was created by a different window's Date. (You don't actually need multiple windows for this to come up, but that's the most common way in browser apps. You have to be doing esoteric things for it to come up otherwise.) And in most cases you don't care, you just want to know whether it has all the Date stuff on it so you can use it.
Calling Object.prototype.toString is slower than typeof or instanceof, but more useful for differentiating what kind of object you have — but sadly, only if the object is one created by one of the built-in JavaScript constructor functions like Date or String, not our own constructor functions. The return value of the Object prototype's toString function is defined in the standard for all the built-in constructor functions (Array, Date, etc.): It returns "[object ___]" where ___ is the constructor function name. So:
var what = Object.prototype.toString;
alert(what.call(new Date())); // "[object Date]"
alert(what.call(function(){})); // "[object Function]"
alert(what.call([])); // "[object Array]"
...etc. Note that this is very different from just calling toString on the object itself; the object may have (probably does have) an overridden toString. That's why we explicitly use Object.prototype.toString above, to make sure that we're calling the function with the well-defined behavior. (Remember, these things are just functions, not methods.) Object.prototype.toString works on primitives too, because it coerces its argument into an object before checking. So if you call it with a string primitive, you get "[object String]" (and "[object Number]" for numbers, etc.).
The chief advantage of this is that it doesn't care what window the object came from; referring back to our Date object d from another window, we'll get "[object Date]" regardless.
But sadly for our own constructor functions, all we get is "[object Object]":
var what = Object.prototype.toString;
alert(what.call(new MyNiftyThing("foo"))); // "[object Object]"
Ah, well...
At one point I was tempted to wrap all of the above (plus support for my own object hierarchy) up into an uber-function that definitively figured out what the thing was. Then I thought: Enh, maybe I should just use the right tool in each given situation.
Speaking of which, our last tool:
Learn to stop worrying and love the duck
When reaching for instanceof or typeof or whatever, ask yourself: Do you really care? How 'bout looking to see if the object seems to have the things on it you need (feature detection) rather than worrying about what it is? This is usually called "duck typing," from the phrase "If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck..." Sometimes, obviously, you do care, but if you get in the habit of asking yourself the question, it's interesting how frequently the answer is "Actually, no, I don't care whether that's a Foo; I just care that it has X on it" or "...I just care that it works if I pass it into getElementById" (that latter case being, basically, it's a string or its toString does what you need). I find myself doing a lot less worrying about types and just getting on with the job these days. I've learned to love the duck.
And always remember, be kind to your web-footed friends; a duck may be somebody's mother.
Happy hols, y'all.

The increasing global demand for energy is necessitating the production of more difficult sources of fossil based energies and accelerating the implementation of innovative technologies.
Oil and Gas (O&G) field development often requires large investment with potentially huge risk, thus encouraging innovative technologies, but sometimes actually slowing down the process of technology implementation.
The purpose of this workshop is to focus on how to accelerate technology implementation and shorten the "R&D to commercialisation" time frame. The workshop will cover topics including:
SPE Middle East, North Africa and India will assist in providing a visa invitation letter, upon request in writing, to confirmed registrants after receiving full payment of registration fees. Visa invitation letters take five days to issue from the date of request and it is the delegate's responsibility to obtain their own visa. SPE cannot issue the visa nor can we guarantee it will be obtained.
Two (2) days of informal discussions prompted by selected keynote presentations and discussions. Workshops maximise the exchange of ideas among attendees and presenters through brief technical presentations followed by extended Q&A periods. Focused topics attract an informed audience eager to discuss issues critical to advancing both technology and best practices. The majority of the presentations are in the form of case studies, highlighting engineering achievements and lessons learnt. In order to stimulate frank discussion, no proceedings are published and the press is not invited to attend.
Registrations will be accepted on a first-come, first-serve basis. The Steering Committee encourages attendance from those who can contribute to the workshop most effectively either in discussions or with posters. A mix of attendees in terms of geographic origin, companies and disciplines will be encouraged.
In keeping with ATW objectives and the SPE mission, commercialism in posters or presentations will not be permitted. Company logos must be limited to the title slide and used only to indicate the affiliation of the presenter and others involved in the work.
All attendees will receive an attendance certificate attesting to their participation in the workshop. This certificate will be provided in exchange for a completed Workshop Questionnaire.
Attendees at this workshop qualify for SPE Continuing Education Units (CEU) at the rate of 0.1 CEU per hour of the workshop.

If you appear at an Initial Appearance/Pre-trial Conference with a citation for Operating After Suspension/Revocation, the City Prosecutor will review your driving record with you to determine if you are suspended for non-payment of a Municipal Citation. If that is the case, the City Prosecutor may propose a settlement that allows you to follow a specific procedure to reinstate your driver's license. If, after the conference with the City Prosecutor, you are still unsure as to what you need to do to reinstate your driver's license, ask the City Prosecutor to re-explain your settlement proposal or ask the Judge when your case is called.
The City typically owns property adjacent to roadways which is referred to as the Right of Way (ROW). This area is where most utilities are located. The pruning or removal of trees located in this area is performed by the City. Residential streets typically have a ROW of 30' from the center of the road. Arterial streets have a greater ROW. The Right-of-Way can vary greatly on both residential and arterial streets.
City owned trees are pruned on a city-wide programmed cycle. The City is divided into six forestry management units. Within each unit, all public trees in parks, street right-of-ways and public grounds are pruned. After all six units are pruned, the cycle will start over. Stated simply, all City trees will be pruned once every six years. This is the most effective process to care for City trees.
Annually, the City arborist conducts a city-wide tree removal survey of public trees. This usually occurs in September. Trees identified for removal will be marked with an orange dot. All dead or hazardous trees marked will be scheduled to be removed over the winter months.
Trees on Private Property
If you have questions about trees on your property, there are a number of ways to get information. The UW-Extension Horticulture Helpline can be called at (262) 548-7779 to answer your tree or horticulture questions.
On the web you can also access the University of Wisconsin's urban horticulture site @ http://uwex.edu/ces/wihort/. There is an abundance of information in all areas of horticulture located there.
Finally, it may be best to call in a professional to evaluate your trees. A certified arborist can give you recommendations on the core of your trees. A list of certified arborists for hire can be found at the Wisconsin Arborist Association website @ http://www.waa-isa.org/
No person shall park any vehicle on any street in the city between two a.m. and six a.m. of any day except with express permission of the police department.
This information is provided so you can begin planning now for this future water main assessment. The assessment may be paid in a lump sum or in a ten year timeframe at a 7% interest rate.
It must be stated that these are only examples of what the assessment could be, based on averages and bids received on projects in the past few years. Actual assessments will vary in the future as construction costs vary and the frontage of properties vary. These costs are meant to be representative only and in no way provide a guarantee of a maximum cost for the water main assessment. There are other rules that apply for oddly configured or small lots that affect the assessment costs. For further details, please contact the Engineering Division on rules for calculating water main assessments.
These sample assessments do NOT include the cost for property owners to install water service from the lot line to the house. These costs can range from $3,000 to $6,000 or more depending on internal plumbing, distance from the lot line to the house, trees or patios that may need to be restored, etc.
These water sprinkling regulations apply to all properties in the City, whether on private wells or the municipal system.
Exceptions: The Utility will allow exceptions to the policy if the property owner contacts the Utility to describe the condition for which an exception is sought and if the request fits into the following categories:• watering of newly established lawns, shrubs, or trees,• irrigation of crops,• commercial car washes that recycle their water,• golf courses that draw water from on-site retention ponds.
Additional restrictions may be placed on water sprinkling based on the need to conserve water resulting from dry conditions, mechanical failure of the wells/pumps or other emergency.

Figure skating
Wagner wins again
Ashley Wagner of Alexandria, Va., became the first woman since Michelle Kwan in 2005 to win back-to-back titles in the U.S. Figure Skating Championships.
Wagner, who fell twice during Saturday's free skate in Omaha, Neb., had 188.84 points, and 17-year-old Gracie Gold of Springfield, Ill., was second with 186.57.
"I wanted to say I was a repeat national champion," the 21-year-old Wagner said. "I definitely lucked out at this competition."
Amanda Hofmann of Vancouver, Wash., placed 17th.
Meryl Davis and Charlie White won their fifth straight ice-dance title., matching a record held by four other couples.
Meanwhile, at the European championships in Zagreb, Croatia, Carolina Kostner of Italy successfully defended her title and Javier Fernandez of Spain won the men's crown.
Musial is remembered
Stan Musial was remembered during a funeral and memorial outside Busch Stadium as a Hall of Famer and a St. Louis icon embraced by generations of fans, some who never had the privilege of watching him play.
Broadcaster Bob Costas, his voice cracking with emotion at times, said during a two-hour Mass that in 92 years of life, Stan the Man never let anyone down. Musial, a seven-time National League batting champion, died Jan. 19.
Luton upsets Norwich
Fifth-tier Luton became the first nonleague team in 24 years to beat a top-level opponent in England's FA Cup, defeating Norwich of the English Premier League 1-0 in the fourth round on Scott Rendell's goal in the 80th minute.
Luton is 85 places below Norwich in the English soccer pyramid. There had not been such an upset in the FA Cup since Sutton beat Coventry 2-1 in the third round in 1989. Not since 1949 has a nonleague team managed to overcome a top-level team after the third round.
Vonn defeats Maze
Lindsey Vonn of Vail, Colo., won a World Cup giant slalom in Maribor, Slovenia. Vonn had a two-run time of 2 minutes, 22.2 seconds and won her 59th Cup event.
The season's overall leader, Tina Maze of Slovenia, was second — good enough to secure her third giant-slalom title.
Meanwhile, Dominik Paris of Italy won the World Cup downhill in Kitzbuehel, Austria, in 1 minute, 57.56 seconds. Erik Guay of Canada was second in 1:57.69.
• Itsmyluckyday won the $400,000 Holy Bull Stakes by 2 lengths over Shanghai Bobby, last year's champion North American 2-year-old male, at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach, Fla.
Itsmyluckyday, trained by Eddie Plesa Jr. and ridden by Elvis Trujillo, ran 1-1/16 miles in a track-record 1:41.81 and paid $11.40 to win in the Grade III race.
Shanghai Bobby lost for the first time in six career starts.
Earlier on the card, a 3-year-old colt whose owners include Olympic swimming icon Michael Phelps led all the way in an allowance race. Cerro paid $6 to win.
• Ramon Dominguez, voted North America's top jockey for each of the past three years, has made enough progress in the recovery from a fractured skull that he was transferred out of intensive care at a hospital.
Dominguez was injured in a Jan. 18 spill at Aqueduct in Jamaica, N.Y.
• Demetrious Johnson successfully defended his UFC flyweight title with a unanimous decision over John Dodson in Chicago.
Meanwhile, Glover Teixeira won a unanimous decision over former light-heavyweight champion Quinton "Rampage" Jackson.
• Driver Scott Pruett and Chip Ganassi Racing teammates were leading after nine hours of the Rolex 24 at Daytona, an endurance race in Daytona Beach, Fla.

Out of 26 million Texans, you may have an idea to change the world. You may have had several ideas to change the world. But only a tiny minority of you pushed through the U.S. Patent office from application to successful patent. We've seen Texans change the world many times over. Jack Kilby did it with Texas Instruments in 1958 with the integrated circuit, causing the start of the digital revolution, which, in part, is why you can read these words over your electronic device.
Over the last few years, Texas Business has brought its feature: Texas Business Patent of the Day. This list is of the ones that were either extremely clever, odd or strange. One thing becomes apparent from these patents and the patent that runs daily in Texas Business—Texans have a unique mind set.
Though the history of the Corn Dog is disputed, the State Fair of Texas claims to have introduced the Corny Dog sometime between 1938 and 1942. As a paean to that invention that now sits in the freezer section of every grocery store in the southwest, here are the fried foods the State Fair of Texas has introduced, or tried to introduce, in the last seven years.
Dead Texas musicians live on every time you hear their songs. Their songs play everywhere, so the dead Texas musicians appear to be immortal. Here's the short list.
Don't get caught up with John Wayne religion. For one thing, he's not Texan. He's in some fine movies involving Texas, most notably The Searchers, but none of his movies can make the best cut of Texas movies. Here's the short list.
Tourist Traps. Some are absurdly large. All are monuments to the bizarre notions of the human spirit.
The short simple list.
Nothing to agonize over. Simply the best.

Cummings sentenced convicted Brownwood, Texas, dentist, James Crow, 67, to 70 months in federal prison on multiple offenses related to a healthcare fraud scheme he ran, according to U.S. Attorney James T. Jacks of the Northern District of Texas.
Texas Business reports: SEOUL, Korea & AUSTIN, Texas—SK TIC and SK Innovation, members of the SK Group, Korea's energy, chemicals and telecommunications giant, and HelioVolt Corporation, an Austin-based manufacturer of high-efficiency thin-film photovoltaic modules, reached an agreement to collaborate on technology development and global manufacturing expansion.
The Texas News Scrawl is a handy reference to stories Texas Business recommends from other news sources.

We know the trouble in Bishop Thomas Weeks III past marriage with Dr. Juanita Bynum was not all his fault, it always takes two to make a marriage go wrong and now we sort of understand what he was trying to tell everyone while defending himself. Bishop Thomas Weeks tried to tell everyone and people did not listen, not just because Juanita Bynum is a woman, but because she is very popular and has had her ministry supported by Bishop T. D. Jakes. Saints of God, we have got to be very careful not to take sides, because it seems like what Bishop Thomas Weeks was trying to tell us, we are witnessing right now: Juanita Bynum allegedly has some emotional abnormalities. To prove his possible accuracy, allegedly, Bishop Thomas Weeks mentioned there were times, Bynum would have violent outbursts. Therefore, people who judged wrongfully judged him, never knew the real Juanita Bynum. The Bible says, he that findeth a wife, findeth a good thing (Proverbs 18:22), but it may not have been necessarily true when Bishop Thomas Weeks married Juanita Bynum.

Did Bishop Thomas Weeks III Make a Wise Choice Marrying Prophetess Christina Glenn?
Bishop Thomas Weeks III Allegedly Said Juanita Bynum Wanted to Be The Next Oprah Winfey
First of all, it is impossible for anyone to become someone else. That's one main reason why a lot people crack up, because they cannot become someone else they were not born to be. We heard on a prior interview with Bishop Thomas Weeks III on WOAK radio, Juanita Bynum had her focus on becoming the next Oprah. Many of us did not pay attention when Bishop Thomas Weeks made that exact alleged statement, regarding Bynum wanting to be the next Oprah and you can hear it at the end of this article. First, what happened to allowing God to make you great as only the person He created you to be? Secondly, why would any true woman of God want to be a famous person in the secular world? Possibly, Dr. Juanita Bynum is doing things that are strange like typing in tongues, because she is not happy with who she is as a person? Reality has kicked in she can never be the next Oprah, because she is not Oprah she is only Juanita Bynum.
Juanita Bynum's Response to Giving Bishop Long Advice
Juanita Bynum's Response to Giving Bishop Long Advice
Juanita Bynum was interviewed by radio station 103.9 Philadelphia's Inspiration Station recently and had a mouthful to say when she responded to the question: 'What advice would you give Bishop Long as he weathers the storm of negative media storm?'
But more accurately stated, Prophetess Juanita Bynum had more to say about her own personal negative media storm and failed marriage than Bishop Eddie Long's situation. In fact she says she decided not to comment about it from the beginning.
Guaranteed Perdiction: Pulpit Pimps of Mega Ministries Will Fade Out
In this era, we not only face a recession, but we are witnessing massive changes among Pulpit Pimps and all of those expensive gifts like buying each other a Bentley they will no longer be able to afford. It is the mega ministries who have been able to hold onto their church buildings because they are millionaires, but other ministers who were not so rich lost their churches in this recession. However, these pulpit pimps of mega ministries are losing their followers because of their own sins and scandals are leaking out, nationwide and souls who are tired of their secret double lifestyles are not going to continue to give money because of it. Many followers of these pulpit pimps are suffering too much in this recession and they do not have time for games. The millions these multi-million dollar ministries are used to receiving will come to a halt, because their followers are in need a real message to assist them in their personal crisis. These pulpit pimps have not been able to help people, not just because their churches are too big, but they have their own problems and scandalous secrets have become news all over the world. Because these pulpit pimps wanted to be celebrities and live like them, they are paying for it and people who have listened to them are turning away and are no longer willing to give them that honor as celebrities, but they are no more than pulpit pimps who are still trying to demand money from people who do not possess it while America is in a financial crisis and lacking employment.
Our Tribute to Dr. Juanita Bynum versus Ms. Pamela's Opinion
Ladies and gentlemen, this post is a response to an individual by the name of Pamela F. who said she had a problem with us showing love and respect for Dr. Juanita Bynum II on our blog. She called herself a Christian, we suppose sanctified, claiming that she was on Dr. Bynum's side against Bishop Weeks, but-she said that she did not want anyone blogging about Dr. Bynum. Our journalists concluded that this soul called woman of God must be jealous of Juanita Bynum, because anytime you make a comment that someone does not need any publicity, you must want all the attention for yourself.
Dr.Juanita Bynum Releases New CD As Jesus Is Proves He Is Better Than Bishop Thomas Weeks

Yes, Dr. Juanita Bynum comes to bless us with her new CD as she poses on a beach, fully clothed as the model she is.
