The Miller Park Drunk E-Mail Show live from my parents basement
by Vince Morales on June 2nd, 2009This is a baseball blog that hardly talks about baseball so I thought we'd try something a little different this week and you know, actually talk about baseball. To do this I enlisted some help and had an email chat with Al Bethke of Al's Ramblings, one of my favorite Brewers blogs. Al mostly concentrates on the sabermetric side of the Brewers and generally takes a contrarian viewpoint on most things. When it's all said and done he ends up being right a whole lot more than he is wrong which kind of makes him annoying (I kid.) It got kind of long so we are going to break it into two parts, with part two tomorrow.
Miller Park Drunk: Okay, let's kick this thing off Al. One thing that I have written about in the past that has gotten a lot of feedback from my readers is the subject of booing. There are a lot of people out there who think it's okay to boo people who are under performing or making generally bad decisions. I was at the ESPN game this past Tuesday against the Cardinals and the crowd was openly booing Suppan when he was pulled. It just doesn't make any sense to me. You are a bit more of a Suppan apologist than I am, but at the same time whether I like him or not I am smart enough to realize that no matter what happens he is going to be starting every fifth day for the rest of the season. To me, you should never boo your own team under any circumstances. Boo your umpires. Boo your Barry/Manny/A-Rod's of the world. Boo your Sheffields. Leave your own team alone. It's almost like people who beat their dog for going to the bathroom in the house. It does absolutely nothing to change things and just makes your dog hate you. What I'm wondering is how you feel on the subject of booing and why do you think that so many casual Brewers fans think it's okay? I don't see how Mike Cameron striking out three times in a game is worse than their beloved Brett Favre throwing 15 interceptions in the first half. Read the rest of this entry »

Set G, Good Lighting Slide Set:
Set G
#1 A car sales lot. In many cities, these locations offer some excellent examples of bad lighting, as this one does. Glare, clutter, overkill. It need not be so, and examples exist of excellent, high quality car dealership lighting (see slides in other IDA sets for examples). Such lighting also saves a great deal of energy and money for the dealership, as lighting is used rather than wasted. In addition, the neighbors do not complain, as they so often do for miles around the type of installation shown in this slide. With good lighting, we all win. |
#2 Another bill board (see the one in the Standard Slide Set), seen from the side. Lots of wasted light! This one is in Australia. Bad lighting is universal. |
#3 Another view of the same installation. |
#4 A billboard installation seen from above. This one is lit from below. It would be similar to the ones in Slides 2 and 3. The slide is really "underexposed," for the street just above the billboard in the slide is a major interstate freeway, and it has excellent lighting, nearly full cut off and of adequate illumination. It is easy to see how much energy the billboard is wasting. Top mounted lighting for billboards can do an excellent job. |
#5 A street lit with globes, if one can imagine such a thing. Look at the light trespass and the glare. Add some rain and the glare would be so bad that motorists would be blinded. |
#6 A major street in San Francisco. Antique-like fixtures, with high wattage HPS lighting, "so as to get enough light on the street for safety and security." Not so, as there is so much glare and harsh light. It is not a comfortable area at night: notice all the people around. Better lighting would be more attractive to people, actually attracting them, be safer and more secure, and save a great deal of energy and tax money. |
#7 Another example of glare. Is visibility helped or harmed? Does the place "feel good"? Is this a quality design? Is it wasting energy? |
#8 A rather typical example of street lighting in some towns. The light is in a tree, lighting the leaves, but not much else. Why do we tolerate such installations? |
#9 Another glary street light doing a good job of lighting a tree but not much else. It has a lot of glare though, and doesn't do much to help visibility. |
#10 One of the 175 watt mercury vapor lighting fixtures, mounted on a wall so that one can see the distribution pattern of the light output. What fraction of such output would you estimate is being wasted? This fixture is a terrible source of glare and waste in almost all installations. It is discussed in some detail in a number ofthe IDA information sheets, including one titled "Why We Don't Like the 175 Watt Mercury Fixture." |
#11 An advertisement for such a fixture. Talk about false advertising. It is very counterproductive to real security, as discussed in the information sheets and in the caption to one of the slides in the Standard Set. While it can be bought for less than $20 in many cases, it costs about $70 or more per year in electricity tooperate. Would not a much better fixture (no glare, no harsh shadows, uniform distribution of light, etc), costing $70 to buy but only $10 a year to operate, make more sense? |
#12 One of the 175 watt mercury lamps in use. It is an old one, and the light output is way down from when it was installed (not to speak of the dirt that has collected), but it is still using the same amount of energy. It was never very good, it is terrible now. |
#13 One of the 175 mercury lamps being used for street lighting. Aren't you glad that that is not your house? Think of the energy and tax money waste, all in addition to the light trespass, glare, and sky glow. |
#14 Two of the mercury lamps mounted on the same pole. These fixtures are everywhere; wouldn't it be nice if they all got replaced with good ones? |
#15 The two non-cut off lights on the same pole compared to the headlights of an automobile. The exposure could be longer, but then it would be very glary. In any case, the amount of glare from the two is about the same. Not good street lighting. |
#16 Here one of the bad guys has been replaced with a full cut off HPS fixture. Much better lighting, much lower energy use. |
#17 An expensive fixture being used for parking lot lighting. In spite of the high cost, the light control is not good, and it has a lot of glare, up light, and energy waste. This was an installation in Tucson, and it violated the City's Outdoor Lighting Control Ordinance. It was replaced, after neighbor protests about the bad light and astronomer's protest about the uplight and the ordinance violation. |
#18 The new lighting at the installation shown in Slide 17. Much better lighting control, more effective for the task, no neighbor complaints, and happy astronomers. |
#19 Two "semi-cut off" lighting fixtures used for street lighting. Full cut off would be much better, giving very good lighting control and no glare (much less than these semi-cut off ones have). Many communities are changing to the full cut off fixtures, particularly for ail new installations. |
#20 A special shield added to the semi-cut off fixture to block up light and to minimize glare. It works. However, a better solution, whenever possible, is to switch the whole fixture to a well designed full cut off fixture, one in which the reflector in the fixture is producing excellent control of the light output, including eliminating any glare and up light. |

Karl Wagner, Boyle resident and professional artist, was chosen by Senator Cochran to design a Christmas card.
"It was kind of one of those 15 minutes of fame things. I am featured in the current holiday issue of the Delta Magazine. Senator Cochran gets the Delta Magazine and after looking in the magazine, he saw my picture and it had an article about me and some of my paintings," said Wagner.
Wagner said that is was an honor to have been chosen to design the cards.
"It was a one shot deal and I am sure that I won't do it again because he chooses a Mississippi artist each year and I just got blessed to be the one. "
According to Wagner, he had to work expeditiously to design the cards because Cochran was on a deadline to have the cards designed, copied and mailed out.
"I can't imagine how many cards he sends out. I am sure that it is more than I could ever send out," he added.
Wagner said that most of the consultation about the design of the cards was primarily done over the phone.
"We talked over the phone and I got an idea of some of what he may have wanted. "He kind of discussed with me what he has had in the past, and we did establish a little bit of criteria because of the number of people that the Senator would send it to. We didn't want it to be overly religious, he wanted it to be distinctly southern and distinctly Mississippi," Wagner said.
He had intentions of designing two different cards in order to give Cochran a wider selection, but after designing the first card and sending it to Cochran, he was very pleased and felt that there was no need for Wagner to take the design process any further.
"I didn't expect him to go with the first idea, I wanted to give him more options but he was sold on the first one," said Wagner.
Wagner is a lifelong artist and considers himself a scenic artist.
"I have painted on furniture and billboards. I have been painting professionally my whole life. I was blessed to have been chosen by Senator Thad Cochran to design his Christmas Cards," said Wagner.
According to Wagner, God gave him the talent to paint and draw.
"I am blessed with the ability to visualize stories, or moments in time, and then to recreate them for others to see what I saw in my mind. ?I have in some form or fashion painted for a living my whole life," he added.
"My art focuses on what I may feel is memorable at the moment. A snapshot in time, or something that may be disappearing, or maybe just an emotional moment in life. So it may be wildlife, pets, landscapes, people, or whatever. Custom work is my specialty, whether it is portraits, small pieces, and murals interior or exterior, or as large as a theatrical backdrop. I can do it," said Wagner.

Skinny Boyfriend Jean
Perfect for curves!
I'm 5'9 and have 40 in hips so i was a little apprehensive about the "boyfriend jean look" baggy and loose fitted does NOT compliment my figure well. However, I just LOVE the casual look. So I went to try these on and the fir was beyond perfect. They're "skinny's" so they actually have a tighter fit and feel to it, and they're super stretchy which makes them actually hug your curves. They're not super tight like leggings or the other jeans but they looked amazing on me. paired with some sandals, or paired with wedges. They're comfy and can easily be dressed down. I did a size 28 in them, they wll stretch more so you want to go a size down depending on how curvy you are :)
April 21, 2013
Just like the previous review, I usually wear size 27 but went down to size 26 for this jeans. I definitely could have gone down to size 25 as the 26 keeps falling down to my hips. When I tried it on the 26 looked fine to me, loose, but because boyfriend jeans are supposed to fit loose they seemed ok to me. But then you wear them and they become more loose. Definitely go down at least one size,
April 20, 2013
Soft, funky,
I always wear skinny jeans, but i liked these for a different type of look. I usually wear 27 but had to go down to 25, they run huge.
Soft, cute, trendy.
April 15, 2013
great versatile jeans!
I never got into the whole boyfriend jean trend, and boy, I had no idea what I've been missing! These jeans are AMAZING! The fit is great, also the color is awesome. Jeans can be dressed up, or totally dressed down for that laid back day when you're tired of sweats. I tried these on in a size 28 and they fit perfectly! A closet staple indeed.

SUN VALLEY, Idaho — The Idaho Potato Commission will "keep on truckin'" into 2013 ... literally.
The commission will feature its giant potato truck in TV ad spots beginning Aug. 31 during ESPN's telecast of the Boise State vs. Michigan State football game and will feature the rig at stops across the U.S. for another year.
"I'm excited to announce we're gonna keep on truckin'," commission president and chief executive officer Frank Muir said at an industry breakfast Aug. 30 as part of the annual Idaho Grower Shippers Association convention.
Two 30-second ads featuring grower Mark Coombs and the "Tater Team" that tours with the giant potato truck will rotate from October through February in a national campaign that shows Coombs suggesting that the truck is missing and urging it to return home. The meat of the potato ads depict the Tater Team having fun with fans across the nation.
The second year of the truck tour will build on the 2012 campaign which has visited 106 cities in 31 states, generating 248 million media impressions, Muir said.
The 28-foot long, 11.5-foot tall potato truck has developed a following on social media sites like Twitter and Facebook, generating 30,000 web hits and gathering more than 2,800 Facebook "friends."
The Idaho Potato Commission looks to further leverage its social media success in 2013, planning an event for food bloggers, Twitter parties during key holidays and a recipe-of-the-month photo contest on Pinterest.
In addition to continuing the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl college football game sponsorship, the commission plans to for the first time run Spanish-language versions of newspaper ad materials and also feature spokeswoman Denise Austin on radio public service announcements, Muir said.
Although Muir said the commission plans to reevaluate its partnership with Austin next year, it plans to use Austin in radio broadcasts to reach up to 50 million radio listeners this year. Her website, deniseaustin.com, will also feature a recipe contest during Heart Health Month in February, as the potato commission looks to play up the recent findings that potatoes are heart-healthy.
Mr. Food and Miss Idaho Whitney Wood will also play roles in promotions this year, Muir said.
The commission also plans to enhance the recipe portion of its website and is creating a "Smashed Spuddy Buddy" toy/icon to help it reach younger audiences.
Original Spuddy Buddy dolls have been a big hit with children and members of the produce industry in recent years, and the commission used a limited-edition Spuddy Buddy — examples of which were given to convention-goers Aug. 30 — to help celebrate its 75th anniversary this year.

Know Your Lore, Tinfoil Hat Edition: Twists in time
Two weeks ago, we looked briefly at the Timewalkers and the strange goings-on on the Timeless Isle. Since then, players that have been dutifully completing Kairoz's weekly quests have reached the end of the mysterious visions Kairoz has been trying to pinpoint -- with some disturbing results and implications. In fact, the whole mad journey has been a steady trickle of unanswered questions and dizzying scenarios that might or might not be true. Or perhaps they're all true, just in different versions of reality.
And that's the bronze dragonflight in a nutshell. It's a headache-inducing puzzle of events that might have been, have been, never been, and may have meant to be but hadn't, that can't quite be untangled. Led by Nozdormu, the bronze dragonflight's missive has always been to protect and observe the pathways of time. The Titans gifted Nozdormu with the knowledge of when and how he would die as a warning, a lesson -- that no matter how powerful Nozdormu might think he was, he, just like any mortal, would have to answer to time eventually. This was meant to keep the Timeless One in check, an effective plan.
But did it really work?
Today's Know Your Lore is a Tinfoil Hat edition, meaning the following is a look into what has gone before with pure speculation on how it happened. These speculations are merely theories and shouldn't be taken as fact or official lore.
Please note: This post contains spoilers for events on the Timeless Isle.

Jaguar XJ-Series Brake Issues
pp1 Posts: 4Again, after only 18K miles and still plenty of wear, my front brakes are squueking like crazy. JAG replaced before but is resisitng now even though the dealer admits it's a problem - they now use an aftermarket product to avoid this problem but for me, he says it's too late. Anyone else going through this????
ianh4 Posts: 1Hi,
Anyone found a solution to the "ASC Not Available" and "TRAC Not Available" messages? The ABS light also comes on. It's an intermittent fault. When the warning is on, the brakes still work fine and are smooth. When the car starts (usually after initial running and when warm) the warning does not appear but the ABS activates under any level of braking.
Cheers, Ian H -
allojohn Posts: 6I fixed my problem by removing and sending the ABS unit to BBA remanufacturing in Taunton, MA. Getting the unit out is a bit tricky, it's very tight in there. It cost about $150 and I have had no problem since. There is a known fault with the unit and these guys fix loads for all sorts of different cars. I found them on ebay would you believe. Check them out at www.bba-reman.com or call (866) 573-2740

Through its subsidiaries, affiliates, and operating companies, holding company AT&T is the industry-leading provider of wireline voice communications services in the US. Customers use AT&T-branded telephone, Internet, and VoIP services; it also sells digital TV under the U-verse brand. Key markets include California, Illinois, and Texas. The company's corporate, government, and public sector clients use its conferencing, managed network, and wholesale communications services. Subsidiary AT&T Mobility is the second-largest US mobile carrier by both sales and subscriptions (after Verizon Wireless). It provides mobile voice and data services to more than 105 million subscribers.
Geographic Reach
The company has spectrum licenses in all 50 US states, Puerto Rico, and Washington, DC. Its wireless services and mobile broadband services are available in more than 145 countries around the world.
While AT&T's wireline business is only slightly smaller than its wireless arm in terms of sales, it has not contributed to the company's growth in the way that the mobile segment has in recent years. Its landline data services are comprised of switched and dedicated network transport, dial-up and broadband Internet access, network integration, data equipment sales, and converged video communications.
Sales and Marketing
AT&T has pushed its mobile services through increased advertising and marketing efforts that tout the benefits of the mobile Internet. A key component of this was an exclusive agreement with Apple to carry the iPhone in the US from the time of its debut in the summer of 2007 until early 2011 when top rival Verizon also began to offer the device. AT&T reaped significant rewards from this partnership, which helped drive the growth and profits of its wireless business.
Financial Performance
AT&T revenue increased by 1% in fiscal 2012 compared to fiscal 2012 due to growth in wireless service and equipment revenues and higher wireline data revenues from U-verse and strategic business services. Revenue growth continues to be tempered by declines in voice revenues. During fiscal 2012 total switched access lines decreased 13.2%.
The company reported net income of $7.26 billion in fiscal 2012, which was an increase compared to the previous year's $3.9 billion in net income, due to decreased operating expenses and increased net sales.
To keep up with the changing landscape of TV watching, in 2014 AT&T formed a joint venture with The Chernin Group, a media investment firm led by Peter Chernin. Named Otter Media, the new company is tasked with acquiring, investing in and launching over-the-top (OTT) video services for AT&T. (OTT refers to media streamed over the Internet where the ISP, such as AT&T, is only responsible for transmitting the data. It's no longer managing and scheduling the programming, like it does with AT&T U-Verse.) Otter Media began with $500 million in funding.
AT&T's efforts to bolster its wireline business include a $4.4 billion initiative to build a fiber-optic network, using fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) or fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP) technology, which will enable the company to offer IP-based video, broadband Internet, and VoIP services over a single line. Known as U-verse, the service is used by nearly 4 million high-definition TV subscribers, and is intended to increase the appeal of AT&T's bundled communications and video packages over major cable network operators that also offer communications services.
In 2012 AT&T sold a majority stake in its advertising and interactive business units to Cerberus Capital Management, retaining a 47% share for itself in the re-named YP Holdings LLC. The more than $3 billion dollar business -- which includes print telephone directories, YP.com, an advertising network, and a mobile app -- garnered AT&T $750 million in cash along with its minority stake, as well as a $200 million note.
Mergers and Acquisitions
AT&T has been using acquisitions to build its mobile data capabilities and expand its service area and subscriber numbers. A key component of this growth strategy had been the plan to buy smaller rival T-Mobile USA from Deutsche Telekom in a transaction valued at nearly $40 billion in cash and stock. The deal fell apart amid strong government opposition in 2012. AT&T had to pay Deutsche Telekom a break-up fee valued at about $6 billion, including $3 billion in cash, along with wireless spectrum licenses and a national roaming agreement worth another $3 billion.
A less dramatic effort to increase the capacity of its network involved the purchase of wireless spectrum licenses from QUALCOMM. In late 2011 AT&T paid about $1.93 billion to QUALCOMM to secure additional capacity necessary to enable the expansion of its 4G network. The spectrum rights cover about 70 million people in the key markets of Boston, Los Angeles, New York, Philadelphia, and San Francisco, in addition to other areas nationwide. QUALCOMM had used the spectrum for its FLO TV service before it was taken offline early that year.
In early 2013 AT&T picked up more spectrum via the purchase of NextWave Wireless for about $600 million, with most of that going toward outstanding debt. The spectrum includes the Wireless Communication Services (WCS) band, which AT&T hopes to enable for mobile Internet use and help support growing data usage needs. In mid-2013 AT&T agreed to purchase Leap Wireless (pre-paid wireless services via the Cricket brand) for some $1.2 billion in an effort to build its profile in the pre-paid market and expand its LTE network with Leap's unused spectrum.
In 2014 it purchased Leap Wireless (which operates under the Cricket brand) for some $1.2 billion in an effort to build its profile in the prepaid market and expand its LTE network.

(How cheesy is it to use an Eminem line when talking about a Detroit ballplayer? Very cheesy indeed.)
Verlander. One tough act to follow, no doubt about it.
Not only is he funny and sweet and humble, he also won 20+ games, went to the ALCS and then won the American League MVP today, backing up his Cy Young Award win last week. First pitcher to do it since 1986. (Cue the googly eyes.)
Whoa. Whew. And other expressions of surprise and admiration that begin with "W".
Congratulations to Justin and the Tigers and the city of Detroit and Marshall Mathers, III, while we're at it. And Chrysler. And Ford. Actually, not Ford. They make hideous cars. Just Justin and the Tigers.
But can I just get all critical here, though, and suggest how mega-ly dramatic this all would have been a red carpet show? I think I've said this before. In fact, I'm sure I have. But really, picture it. Baseball players in wonderful silver suits and funny presenters- like, yes, myself- and major drama, camera-cutting-from-face-to-face as the announced the award winners.
Some crocodile tears wouldn't be too bad either.
And hey, if you can get someone who happens to be Jennifer Lopez to wear a sparkly bodysuit and drive around in a weird car on stage? That's even better.
But why or why or why do the Rangers insist on Neftali starting and then put a knife to his back and make him pretend to like it (looking at you, Jon Daniels Knife Bearer)? Speaking of drama.

"The exhaust actually comes out cleaner than the oxygen it took in," said James Thompson, a firefighter with Bradley County Fire-Rescue as he explained the new technology built into three shiny new red, black and gold fire engines recently put into service.
All three engines and three new tankers will be placed at the three new fire stations in the county.
"The new equipment is designed and built with 'green' technology and new safety features in mind," said interim Bradley County Fire Chief Troy Spence.
Spence explained the engines have a 1,000-gallon water capacity, foam compartment and many other features.
"The engineer will experience a difference in driving the new engine. It has a built-in stabilization system which allows for a safer-driving vehicle," Spence said.
When liquids are transported, their weight can shift. Baffle systems are built into the tanks but the liquids can still shift, causing trucks to overturn going around curves or the driver to lose control.
The stabilizing computer system on the trucks aid with the shifting loads.
"The body and chassis are smart," said Spence.
On-board computers control sway, roll and traction.
As for the 'greener, cleaner' aspect, the engine is diesel.
An additive to the fuel system aids in converting and cleaning what would typically be discharged as carbon monoxide.
"It converts to carbon dioxide, which keeps our environment cleaner," Spence said.
According to Thompson, the system is called "Re-Gen" technology, using a system of converters to clean the air.
"It's actually cleaner coming out than it is going in," Thompson explained.
Each engine has seven discharge lines.
All are color-coded and can be operated in unison with 1,500-gallon-per-minute pumps.
The engines also have a computerized foam mixing system used for compressing fuel or chemical fires.
Digital readouts display information to the engineer who mans the truck as firefighters go into the heat of battle.
Each new truck has been equipped with LED response and scene lighting capabilities.
Spence said thermal imaging cameras are on board and trucks also have been stocked with basic rescue supplies and other equipment conducive to commencing tasks such as searches.
"We are working to get all the fleet consistent with the types of equipment needed," Spence said.
One of the best additions of equipment are the new E-tools.
"They are called E-draulics," Spence said.
A potential scenario might include: First responders arrive on the scene of a car crash. They immediately begin stabilizing vehicles involved. Tools are removed from an engine. A generator is fired up to aid with hydraulic tools. Time is wasted when a person is trapped.
"With the new battery-operated E-draulics, personnel open the hatch and grab the specific tool needed, while others stabilize the vehicles. At the push of a button to turn the tool on, a firefighter can begin extrication within seconds instead of a minute or two. The tools are stronger, cut soft steel better and are lighter weight," Spence said.
"We have eliminated the need for dragging hydraulic lines, generators and other equipment needed which will make extrication quicker during a very critical time," Spence said of rescuing victims trapped in wreckage.
The new tools also need less maintenence and batteries are rechargeable and will last up to 45 minutes before needing replacement, according to Spence.
"Now we can just turn them on and go to work," Spence said.
The trucks have been completed with radio systems, cribbing and virtually anything else needed for effective response.
"We are still looking for good volunteers to work in specialized fields of rescue or fire," Spence said.

Cushing will receive MOH
Washington D.C - Delafield Civil War hero Lt. Alonzo Cushing will be posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor - the nation's highest award for valor - according to a news release issued late this afternoon by the White House.
David Krueger, who has represented the City of Delafield on Cushing's behalf, said he was notified of the news release by a reporter for the Washington Times. The Times reporter told Krueger that Cushing's name was included among a list of individuals who are slated to receive the award from the president.
Cushing has been recommended for the medal by the Secretary of Defense. However, the president makes the final decision on Medal of Honor recipients.
Cushing was killed during the Battle of Gettysburg in a skirmish that stalled the Confederate Army's effort to gain new momentum during one of the most important battles in the Civil War.
Krueger has been among city residents who have strived during the past decade to have the medal awarded to the local hero.
LCFR fiscal condition improved
City of Delafield - Lake Country Fire and Rescue officials say they are optimistic that they will end fiscal year 2014 in better shape than the two previous years when they had operating deficits at the end of year.
Interim Fire Chief Kevin Keith told Delafield, Chenequa and Nashotah officials that a projected year end deficit may not occur because the department was able to reduce costs and add revenues during the last three months of 2014.
Robert Bellin, newly elected president of the LCFR governing board, told the municipal officials that final revenues and expense figures would not be available until the department's audit was completed in March.
The three municipalities contribute slightly more than one million dollars of the department's $1.9 million budget.
However, LCFR and some city officials have not resolved their differences over the department's "entreprenual business model."

4K program coming to Mukwonago School District next year
Jumping on the 4K bandwagon, Mukwonago will join 95 percent of the districts in the state to offer a 4-year-old kindergarten program for families.
Mukwonago's school board unanimously approved a 4K program at its meeting on Monday night. School board members Todd Clemens and Rodell Singert were absent from the meeting.
The program will offer a five-day program of roughly two-and-a-half hours each day, which would meet guidelines for receiving state aid. Classes would be held within community preschools or day cares, with curriculum determined by the district.
Some school board members had hoped to see a blended version of offering 4K in some school sites, as well as within community partners. However, offering the program housed solely within preschools and day care centers in the community — at least in the first year — removed many variables that caused concern for some board members.
Previous concerns were with transportation costs and staffing, said Nick Reichhoff, director of employee and instructional services for the district.

Hearing set for Elizabeth Kraus, charged with felony misuse of Lisbon credit cards
Town of Lisbon - A preliminary hearing in Waukesha County Circuit Court has been scheduled for Feb. 13 for former Interim Clerk/Administrator Elizabeth Kraus, who has pleaded not guilty to felony official misconduct and credit card fraud charges.
Kraus, 47, of Waukesha, is free on a $20,000 signature bond after an initial court appearance Monday, Jan. 26, that lasted less than five minutes in front of Court Commissioner Thomas Pieper.
The Waukesha County District Attorney's Office has charged Kraus with using town of Lisbon credit cards to make about $19,312 in personal purchases, including food, clothing, cosmetics, household goods and a dog.
Kraus resigned in late September during a Waukesha County Sheriff's Department investigation into the allegations prompted by a town employee who discovered Kraus had purchased more $600 in personal items on the town's Sam's Club credit card.

Street plans reviewed in Delafield
City of Delafield - About 30 residents and downtown business owners attended a public information meeting Thursday night at City Hall to review plans for the reconstruction of Genesee Street from Mill Street north to Oakwood Drive.
Construction on the half mile, $2 million project, which will include reconstruction and repairs on two bridges along with the installation of a hiking/biking path, will take most of the spring and summer of 2016.
Downtown business owners have been concerned about the impact the construction might have on business.
Representatives of a downtown business group and the Delafield Area Chamber of Commerce said they plan to beef up marketing efforts in 2016 in effort to reduce potential impact on individual businesses as well as traditional summer chamber events.
A citizens committee has recommended to city and county highway offiicials and consultants that at least one lane of traffic remain open at all times during constructions.

Letters went out to all parents of seniors on Jan. 22 informing them that graduation will be held at 2 p.m. June 7 at Miller Park, the site of Mukwonago's last two graduation ceremonies.
"I'm a happy camper," Darin said.

The Real Housewives of Vancouver preach love and friendship in Season 2
At the end of the first season of The Real Housewives of Vancouver, the five women featured on the show could not be in a room together without breaking into a fight. Six months later, three of the original cast members—Jody Claman, Ronnie Negus, and Mary Zilba—are sharing a sofa inside a suite at the Four Seasons Hotel. Joined by season 2's new housewives—Amanda Hansen, Ioulia Reynolds, and Robin Reichman—the six women laugh, embrace, and chat with each other like close friends.
"I'm really all about forgiveness, and I think that if you hold onto hate and animosity, it's a slow death," Ronnie tells the Georgia Straight. "It's easy to get caught up in the show… but at the end of the day, life is fleeting and forgiveness is really a salvation. It's a beautiful thing."
The statuesque mother of five isn't the only one in the room who decided to turn over a new leaf while filming season 2 from July to October 2012.
"For a lot of us, there was a lot of closure," Jody, who is dressed in a frothy peach and silver party dress and is the most outgoing of the bunch, says. "This season was really about leadership and strong women, and when I looked back and reflected, I really enjoyed this season."
On the one-hour season premiere (airing February 5 at 10 p.m. on Slice), new cast members are introduced as acquaintances of the three returning housewives. Ioulia, an art consultant, helps Mary pick out a new painting for her Yaletown condo. Amanda, a single mom to three young children, seeks Jody's help in order to launch her own kombucha tea business. Robin, meanwhile, befriends Ronnie at the Southlands Riding Club over their mutual love for horses. All six women meet at a celebratory barbeque held at Ronnie's sprawling, waterfront West Vancouver home.
"I studied the first season like it was the Bible—I did. I was hooked. I loved season one, and I really, really wanted to be a part of it," Amanda, who is a recovering alcoholic, says. "I just really didn't want to misrepresent myself, or act in a manner that was going to basically offend my community of people. … I really wanted to try to bring light to the people who choose not to drink and make it look like I've made a good decision."
"We all have our reasons why, and I know exactly why I did it," Ioulia chimes in. "You pay the price, absolutely, but you turn it around and make the best out of it."
The optimistic and fiery blonde is in her late 20s and married to a venture capitalist 20 years her senior. Although she moved to Vancouver 11 years ago, Ioulia speaks in a thick Russian accent and says that she grapples with issues of being an immigrant on the show.
"One big pressure that I have on me is how my Russian community is going to look at me and judge me," she says. "We all went through our own personal journeys. It was very interesting, very raw."
Robin, who moved from Texas 20 years ago and is a single mom to two young girls, was more concerned about what it might be like to fill the stiletto-heeled shoes left by season 1 housewives Reiko MacKenzie and Christina Kiesel.
"You know that there was existing friendship for many years, and then it's kind of tampered with because it's also the nature of the show," Robin says in a sweet southern drawl. "My 11-year-old has seen me at my worst, and now the viewers are going to see me at my worst. I think that that's what I'll probably struggle with the most."
On season 1, most viewers would agree that Mary, who is in the process of reigniting her singing career and launching a beauty label called BUFF Beauty, experienced a lot of bullying. The Oklahoma-raised former beauty queen was therefore hesitant to sign on for more drama.
"I think there was some trepidation for me because of everything that transpired, but I think at the end of the day, there are some good things that can come out of this show," she says. "I've had a bigger voice in the community and I've been really, really busy with a lot of charity work. … I've been able to use my Facebook, my social media, to gather people together to do homeless baskets, to do things for transitional homes, to do a lot of anti-bullying. I'm working with Christy Clark, so there are some great things that have gone to the greater good."
Ronnie, on the other hand, was keen on using the second season to makeover her image.
"In the first season, I wasn't entirely happy with the way I was portrayed and I think that it was a nice opportunity for me to let the viewers see another side of me—more of my mother side—and you know, I'm vulnerable, and I've got a heart, and I'm a loving person," she says. "People only see me getting drunk and falling over. It's far from the truth. I couldn't be a successful human being with beautiful children and living the life if that was the truth."
"Anyone's who's intelligent would know I'm not a villain because I'm a multimillionaire from being a people-person," Jody adds. "So I couldn't care less. I understood what I had signed…and I'm the happiest girl in the world right now."
With a new season of The Real Housewives of Vancouver airing in less than a week, all six women seem giddy with excitement. Ioulia, Amanda, and Robin are looking forward to the opportunities that will come with being on the show, and the veteran housewives—having now survived two seasons—are ready to prove that they're more than just drama queens.
"You know to have said that you've been on a reality show, it's a great experience, like a real life experience," Ronnie says matter-of-factly. "There aren't perfect people and it is real to make mistakes and to fall down. That's why this show's so popular, right? It resonates with people. It's real."
So Vancouver.
I think not.
Real housewives, indeed.
BTW, Mary, though I'm glad you're surviving whatever bullying went on (didn't watch the first season, and have no intention of watching the second), working with Christy Clark on anything is the OPPOSITE of doing things for the greater good - unless you think the last 12 years in this province have benefitted anyone other than the top 1%, like yourself.
Frankly, I think the rest of us want justice, not charity. If you can find a copy of the episode of WKRP in Cincinnati where the poor people rip into the rich people at Jennifer's penthouse about how we don't really want or need your short-term symapthy and charity, please watch it. I say this as someone who once received an industrial-kitchen sized can of tuna in a hamper, because some well-meaning but ill-informed wealthier person thought it would help. I still use it as a paperweight, for what it's worth (way too big to feed two people without wasting most of it).

The Banana Splits themselves were an ersatz rock band made up of a dog (Fleegle), a lion (Drooper), a gorilla (Bingo), and a small elephant (Snorky). The band was designed to resemble the Monkees (who were designed to resemble the Beatles) and they hosted the show by appearing in live-action bumpers between the components of the program. They usually appeared in "music videos" showcasing their antics in theme parks or in short sketches filled with playful puns.
Q: What's yellow and manages a baseball team?
A: Yogi Banana!
The show itself resembled the prime time comedy hit Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In with its frenetic pacing, psychedelic graphics, and short comedy blackout sketches, mixed in with longer episodic features.
For many, the most memorable feature segment was Danger Island. A live-action segment filmed on location, it featured the shipwrecked Professor Irwin Hayden and his crew as they outran dangerous natives, killer animals, and murderous pirates. The action-packed show featured a young man named Michael Vincent, who would come to be known as teen idol Jan-Michael Vincent, and many of the episodes were directed by Richard Donner, who would later helm the Lethal Weapon saga.
Another segment was The Three Musketeers, which was based on the classic novel, with Porthos, Aramis, Athos, and young D'Artagnan dueling through various adventures in the service of their Queen. A new character, Tooly, was added to serve as a link between children and the Musketeers, showing how exciting their adventures could be.
And let's not forget the Arabian Knights. Led by Prince Turhan and Princess Nidor, this odd group of heroes did battle with the evil Bakaar to try to recapture Turhan's throne. Bez, Farik, and Raseem were the three magicians who assisted the royal duo through an array of magical spells. Along for comic relief and a well-placed mule kick was Zazu the donkey.
Micro Ventures used real microscopic life as a background. Professor Carter and his children Patsy & Tommy were shrunk down to microscopic size so they could examine cellular life from the cell's point of view. The threesome also ran across giant animals and insects, often forcing them to speed away in their microscopic dune buggy.
Old episodes of The Hillbilly Bears, a component of The Atom Ant/Secret Squirrel Show, were thrown in for a dose of comedy. In syndicated reruns (as The Banana Splits And Friends Show), reruns of The Adventures of Gulliver and The New Adventures of Huckleberry Finn were added, but not shown in the original run of the show.
Spawning a myriad of toys and games, The Banana Splits Adventure Hour was a landmark moment in children's TV-the show was a herald of the new youth culture that was poised to invade the living room, and helped shape an entire generation...

With four girls, you can imagine how many of our walls, doors and other surfaces are covered with homemade artwork. Each time I rotate the artwork, I save some in a box and the others get carefully hidden in our recycle bin. I tried taking photos of art projects, but with four kids it can be difficult to remember who created which fish or button collage. This very conumdrum is the inspiration behind the new app, Artkive.
Artkive, is the clutter-free way to save and enjoy your child's artwork. Created by seasoned entrepreneur, Jedd Gold, the app solves a problem faced by nearly every parent with young kids – what to do with the mountains of art projects piling up at home?
"My daughters were the inspiration for Artkive – there was a never-ending amount of artwork they'd create and we'd feel guilty about throwing it away," says Gold. "The art we did keep, was sitting in a box in the garage, never to be seen again. With Artkive, we get rid of the clutter. Having it all turned into a book means we can now appreciate and remember their work – and they are so proud to see their art in print."
Here's how it works:
1. Each time your child creates a piece of art, just open the app, take a picture of the artwork and select which child created it.
2. The Artkive app automatically tags that image with the child's grade and the date created. You can also add a title and/or description.
3. Choose who in your "Share Circle" to share the art with and/or just Artkive it, meaning its now safely stored in our cloud. You're now on your way towards building a portfolio of art you'll be able to turn into a book or similar product.
Artkive saves all artwork chronologically, and its possible to organize projects by each child's first name and grade (perfect for large families!). Right now the app is free for a limited time (soon it will retail for $4.99). "Most parents don't have the time to save artwork so it never gets done. With Artkive, it will be almost as easy as pushing a button" says Gold.
I've seen a few art apps or programs online, but what makes Artkive stand out is that a "plaque" is attached at the bottom of each image. The plaque shows which child created the artwork, what grade he or she is/was in, the date the project was created and the title – just like you would see in an art gallery.
If desried, you can make a book out of your child's artwork, which is great timing for the holidays. Since I'm constantly looking for ways to streamline and manage the clutter, this is one app I'll use and use often!

In Chicago, ME-TV also is carried by a full-power station as it's primary signal.
Sorry, but ME-TV's primary station(s) WWME, either analog OR digital, are NOT full-power. WWME's digital ch.39 was Chicago first LP digital station in the market.
It simply got picked up by BOTH DirecTV & DISH because, as you already stated, Weigel is a tough negotiator - & even got BOTH DirecTV & DISH to carry WCIU-26 in HD as well. (mostly due to all the local sports it carries in HD, namely some Cubs & White Sox games)

for fine-tuned flex. It has a medium-to-stiff flex, depending on how hard you choose to crank down the dials, so you can tackle everything from park jibs to powder runs, and an articulating cuff gives you extra freedom to tweak grabs and balance presses without sacrificing support.
The Level 2 Intuition liner is heat-moldable for a custom fit, and a molded EVA insole cushions your feet for all-day comfort. High-density Evolution Foam in the outsole also improves cushioning, and it's much lighter than rubber to reduce weight without sacrificing grip so you can still bootpack up icy slopes and rocky ridges.

Conn told Rotarians the university is moving forward with the integration of the old First Baptist Church properties into its campus footprint. The plan includes renovation of the main First Baptist sanctuary building into a music performance hall, construction of a new academic building and demolition of the old JCPenney building to make way for lawns and open "green space."
He said the key to the new development is "a major gift of property and cash" from Allan and Janie Jones, which Conn also announced today.
Jones said in a prepared statement, "It is our family's pleasure to make this donation to Lee University, which will strengthen downtown Cleveland, higher education and traditional family values."
Conn declined to reveal the amount of the gift, but announced that the renovated First Baptist sanctuary will be named "Pangle Hall" in honor of Janie Jones, Allan's wife.
"Pangle is not only Janie's maiden name, but is also a nickname I gave her. Many of her friends now know her as 'Pangle Jones'," the local business leader explained in a written statement.
The opening of both the new music hall and the academic building will be scheduled for fall 2014.
"We are studying other universities which have recently remodeled old churches into performance venues," Conn said. "There are some good examples out there. The old First Baptist sanctuary is a classic, handsome building, and it is important to us and to the Jones family that this familiar structure not be altered unnecessarily.
"But there are some changes we will make, mostly inside, which will make it more suitable for larger musical events. On the outside, we will remove the steeple and replace it with a cupola which will more faithfully reflect an academic style of building."
"We have watched for many years the wonderful work Dr. Conn has done defining his campus with architecture," Jones stated. "The continued expansion of Lee's campus toward the traditional downtown area is a wonderful development for both Lee and historic Cleveland. The campus reminds me of the beautiful Ole Miss [University of Mississippi] campus, and our family is proud to be a part of that."
Conn said the first step in the new plan is "a significant amount of demolition" of structures within the extended campus footprint. Lee plans to raze the buildings formerly housing JCPenney, Woolworth and Cole's Drug Store, as well as a small drive-in bank building on Ocoee Street and the aging Corn Apartments on Church Street. Also on the schedule for eventual demolition are various small houses between the core of the Lee campus and the new construction.
"We are grateful to the Jones family for this wonderful gift," Conn said. "It is the final piece in the puzzle for us. We have lots of work to do, and it will take us three or four years to complete the overall plan, but now, thanks to this gift, we can begin."
Conn reflected that the property slated for redevelopment has been an important part of downtown Cleveland life throughout his lifetime.
"I worked at JCPenney's when I was in high school and Allan Jones remembers watching when the steeple was erected at the First Baptist Church," Conn said. "This area is full of memories for all of us, and now we hope to redevelop it into something special for generations to come."
Conn told the Rotary Club luncheon crowd that the idea of linking the Lee campus with downtown Cleveland began with the encouragement of local business leader Forrest Preston, who Conn called "one of Cleveland's great visionaries. He challenged me with the dream that the Lee campus should eventually connect to downtown, and now we are ready to take a giant step in that direction."
The two other parts of the former First Baptist building function as a campus childcare center and as additional classroom space for one of the university's departments.
Lee University announced the purchase of the old First Baptist Church in June 2010 for $5 million after the congregation moved to its new site on Stuart Road.
The transaction included the 95,000-square-foot sanctuary and Christian education building, the 35,000-square-foot commercial building on Ocoee Street that formerly housed Woolworth's and JCPenney, and 13 random parcels of property between Lee University and First Baptist Church.
