Long before he played shirtless tetherball with Robert Duvall in Kicking & Screaming, Will Ferrell was teaching us the comic value of the conspicuously un-crunched man-middle: We first caught a glimpse of his fab ab flab on Saturday Night Live, courtesy of such indelible roles as Man With Thong and Man With Cowbell. Then in Old School's streaking scene, he wore the wiggling wages of frat life like a badge of honor. More recently, Anchorman established Ferrell unequivocally as America's top purveyor of uncalled-for male toplessness. We don't know how he's kept his figure so remarkably consistent, but we're guessing Easy Cheese.

Great location right on the waterfront, very friendly and helpful staff, great amenities, comfortable bed.
The waterfront is being rebuilt and the construction is scheduled according to the tide, so they were working late on a Saturday night. Our room was in the back so the noise wasn't bad. Would be nice to have a microwave in the room to go with the fridge.
Clean and location
Euphoria style ..... No privacy at all for the bathroom
The owners of this bed and breakfast are genuinely nice. They are friendly but don't overdo it. It was very clean. It was quiet at night.
It has a very cosy home feel. There's a big beautiful outdoor deck that overlooks Friday Harbor, open to guests at any time. Breakfast was on time and delicious. It was a very relaxing atmosphere. I wish I could have stayed for longer.
No, it was great!
Although a bit out of town, it is a quiet, relaxed setting.
Parking was horrible - the driveway was not passable by our truck. There was really no theme to our room, I would describe it as 2nd hand mis-match :( The owner/manager was not social, cordial, but abrubt. No lake view from room.
The staff was awesome! Great breakfast, clean room, everything you could want in a B&B. Not far from town and easy to find. We had our dog and even he love this place!
The pillows were down feather so when you lay on them the flatten out. Wish we had different pillows.
Good location and great staff. The room was comfortable but could have been cleaned better -
Very clean, decent breakfast.
Pull-out sofa bed was extremely lumpy and uncomfortable, staff interactions were a mix of friendly and dismissive.
Libby at the front desk was very helpful and friendly. Everything was great.
It was a comfortable space, clean, nice bed, refrigerator, outdoor public areas.
There was a good deal of road noise in the morning, as our room faced a busy public road.
Size of the room
Great location. Amazing view with lawn overlooking the harbor. Wonderful staff. Nicely appointed rooms. Comfortable beds. Continental breakfast included.
Restaurant was closed on mon and tues (the only days we were there). Price.
Great location
Room shades did not block outside light out
The rooms were well appointed and comfortable; no air conditioning, and it was in the 80's, however that was unusual for the area.
The staff was young and pretty dismissive, disorganized and'snotty' when presented with a request.
Great location, friendly hosts, unique experience staying on a boat. I would recommend renting the forward stateroom because these quarters are attached to the main salon and kitchen, while the aft cabin is separate.
The host Laura is very accommodating, sincere and totally a charm! The boat itself is awesome! LOcation and overall experience is unforgettable!
NONE at all!

Broner wins welterweight title over Malignaggi
NEW YORK -- Adrien Broner was the bigger talker and the bigger puncher Saturday night, scoring enough hard blows to beat hometown hero Paulie Malignaggi in a 12-round split decision and take Malignaggi's welterweight title.
Fighting for the first time at 147 pounds after moving up from lightweight, Broner had enough power to overcome a gritty fight by Malignaggi and remain unbeaten in 27 fights. He won his third title in as many weight classes while cementing his reputation as one of the rising stars in boxing.
With Floyd Mayweather Jr. watching from ringside, Broner talked throughout the fight to Malignaggi, who was plenty game but wasn't able to keep Broner off of him. Broner was unable to knock Malignaggi down, but won round after round to take the decision in the fight at Barclays Center.

SportNew scandal for South Korean sport Professional baseball in South Korea is being investigated after allegations of spot-fixing, following cricket scandals. 27 Feb 2012 16:49 GMT | Sport, Bangladesh, South Korea, United Kingdom South Korean baseball is the setting for the latest spot-fixing tale [GALLO/GETTY] Prosecutors in South Korean have gathered testimony regarding allegations of spot-fixing in professional baseball, local media reported on Monday. Investigations have widened by prosecutors into allegations of match-fixing in baseball against the backdrop of a government crackdown on corruption in sport. A former college baseball player with the surname Kim, arrested last weekend over alleged ties to fixing, testified that the problem was more widespread than first suspected. Senior prosecutor Park Eun-seok told Yonhap news agency: "Our basic policy is (to) stay focused on the allegations we have now. But if we obtain concrete evidence that point to additional fixing, we can broaden our investigation." Kim was arrested on suspicion of introducing two active players in the Korea Baseball Organisation (KBO), the nation's top baseball league, to a gambling broker. Law officials had initially thought the betting ring had attempted to sway the outcome of five to six KBO games. A broker linked with Kim is also under arrest. Illegal sports betting sites offer spot bets, offering odds on single plays. A match-fixing scandal that tore through soccer's K-League last year, triggered a government threat to shut down the league altogether unless it cleaned up its act. Meanwhile, similar allegations surfaced in South Korea's professional volleyball league earlier this month, forcing the government to declare a war on match-fixing. Global problem Spot-fixing made headlines around the world in 2011 when three Pakistani cricket players were prosecuted and jailed for their part in spot-fixing, during a Test match against England. Since then, the ICC's Anti Corruption and Security Unit (ACSU) have stepped up investigations to clamp down on illegal activities taking place during matches. Despite the sentencing and subsequent bans of the three high-profile players, difficulty in detecting spot-fixing means that the lure of an easy bet for individuals, will always remain. Bangladesh ex-captain Mashrafe Mortaza propositioned by unnamed player to spot-fix [GALLO/GETTY] In September, English County cricketer Mervyn Westfield was the latest player to be formally charged with conspiracy to defraud in a betting scam, while police in the Bangladeshi capital of Dhaka have arrested a Pakistani man on suspicion of spot-fixing during a key match in the inaugural Twenty20 cricket league, officials said on Monday. Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) officials challenged Sajid Khan on Sunday as he was frantically making phone calls from the stands during the crucial phases of a Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) encounter, the BCB security chief told AFP. "We have handed him over to police for interrogation," Mesbahuddin Serniabat said, adding an anti-corruption official from the International Cricket Council had also spoken to the man. "We have reasons to suspect that he was involved in spot-fixing. On Sunday, Khan called after the toss and every time a key wicket fell and a six was hit. He also tried to sneak into the dressing room and some restricted areas where only players and team staff are allowed," he said. Serniabat said Khan, 36, was detained during the Chittagong Kings versus Barisal Burners match, which the latter won to seal a place in the semi-finals. The BPL, Bangladesh's first Twenty20 league, opened on February 9 on a sour note after former captain Mashrafe Mortaza revealed that he had received a spot-fixing proposition. Mortaza said he had been approached by an unnamed player regarding potential spot-fixing of the Dhaka Gladiators, which he captains.Source: Agencies

The women's basketball team for North Platte Community College (Neb.) beat Dakota College at Bottineau (N.D.) 64-40 on Sunday to win their district, but their celebration didn't go so smoothly. As you can see in the video above, the team tried to give their coach, Richard Thurin, a Gatorade shower, but they missed and spilled the liquid, which caused him to slip and land on his face. The team's effort was poor across the board. Let's examine all the areas they went wrong: - They charged right up to their coach instead of sneaking up from behind - They didn't lift the cooler high enough to dowse him - They left all the liquid on the floor, causing two people to slip The only good news is that the team advances to the national tournament next week. And at least they can take comfort in knowing that they have something in common with the Alabama football team.

Rapid Reaction: Rangers 10, Astros 5
July, 5, 2013
By Todd Wills | ESPNDallas.com
ARLINGTON, Texas -- The Rangers hit three home runs and cruised to a 10-5 victory over the Houston Astros on Friday night to open a three-game weekend series.
Offensive explosion: The Rangers did what they do best -- hammer Astros pitching. David Murphy got the party started with a two-run home run two batters into the bottom of the first. Nelson Cruz had a grand slam in the bottom of the second for a 6-0 lead. Adrian Beltre had his third home run in six at-bats with two outs in the bottom of the fourth. The Rangers also scored a run on Murphy's double play in the fourth. All of that led to a 9-0 lead before Astros starter Lucas Harrell departed the game.
First-inning runs: The Rangers scored multiple runs in the first inning for only the fourth time this season. It's the first time they've done so since March 22 against Oakland, when the Rangers scored three first-inning runs. Murphy's homer was the club's first in the opening inning since Jurickson Profar had a leadoff home run on May 26 at Seattle.
Boomstick, slam style: Cruz belted his sixth career grand slam, all of which have come at Rangers Ballpark. It's a ballpark record and also ties him for third place on the Rangers' all-time grand slam list with Dean Palmer and Rusty Greer. Cruz needs one more slam to tie Rafael Palmeiro and Juan Gonzalez for the all-time club lead.
Murphy and double digits: Murphy's home run in the first was his 10th of the season, giving him double-digit homers in six seasons.
Tepesch cruises until sixth: Nick Tepesch loves pitching against the Houston Astros. Of course, who doesn't? Tepesch had nine strikeouts, his new career high, to break his old record of eight set against the Astros earlier this season. He did run into his third-time-around mental block. Tepesch started the sixth inning by facing the top of the Astros' lineup for the third time, and he gave up a single, walk, single and double before being pulled from the game. Opponents are batting .476 the third time around or later against the rookie right-hander.
Up next: The Rangers continue a three-game series against in-state rival Houston with right-hander Yu Darvish (8-3, 2.78 ERA) facing left-hander Dallas Keuchel (4-5, 4.64 ERA) at 6:15 p.m. on FOX and ESPN Dallas 103.3 FM and 1540-AM. In the series finale on Sunday, right-hander Justin Grimm (7-6, 5.84 ERA) faces left-hander Erik Bedard (3-4, 4.59 ERA) at 2:05 p.m. on Fox Sports Southwest and ESPN Dallas 103.3 FM and 1540-AM.

Book Description:
I crashed and opened my eyes . . . there you were, fierce and protective, and I knew . . . I just knew it was you all along.
Ex-Marine Trent Reed has been shot at, in a coma, and placed in war zones, but when his best friend calls in a favor, he is faced with the most dangerous situation yet—to be the best man.
Trent's turbulent past with races other than his own taints his view on the interracial marriage, and he's none too happy to deal with the ill-tempered maid of honor. To accept the position means understanding that his friend is soon to be out of his life—for good.
Tough-girl Teal Lofton has struggled all of her adult life, from her weight to the color of her skin holding her back in work and love. When she agrees to be the maid of honor in her friend's wedding, a hormonal bride and a jerk of a best man who she is strangely, yet wildly, attracted to, amplify those struggles.
As tensions and tempers rise, Trent disappears with the wedding rings and Teal braves a snowstorm to bring them back, determined to fix yet another problem. But a tragic accident brings together the unlikely pair, forcing them to face the prejudices of their pasts. In doing so, Trent and Teal embark on an inevitable course of self-discovery and passion like they've never experienced before—until a secret from Trent's past threatens to destroy it all.

Apparently, that's a major no-no to some professional editors. If you want help along the way the best option is to acquire some good beta readers.
A beta reader is someone who is interested in the book you are writing or books in general, this person should be someone whose opinion and analytical skills you trust, who reads the manuscript for you in order to help you find flow and consistency errors. I got that advice from a fellow indie when I told him that someone offered to beta-read my book for $150, I have also learned that most betas offer their service for free.

Tonight marks just the second time that Ripon Christian will square off with Golden Sierra, but the rematch takes place in a different setting with more at stake.
Eric Reis has been known to share stories of Manteca High's grid-iron glory of years past with his players.
Ripon gets its wish: Another crack at Trans-Valley League rival Hilmar.
Kyle Alexander and Mason Merilles competed in the largest powerlifting meet they've ever been a part of and returned to Manteca with new world records and shiny first-place medals this past weekend.
Elisabeth Alexander was all smiles Thursday when she made her commitment official to the CSU Stanislaus women's basketball team.
Georgetown, Darthmouth and University of Montevallo all had offers on the table for Ripon High senior Darian van der Maaten.
Ripon and Ripon Christian are heading to Gold Country tonight for their Sac-Joaquin Section Division IV playoff matches.
Cherish Burks verbally committed to Oregon as a sophomore, but her decision was made long before that.
RIPON - Thirteen days after giving birth to her first child, head coach Adrienne Beltrami returned to the sidelines Tuesday to lead Ripon in its first-round match against No. 13 seed Central Catholic in the Sac-Joaquin Section Division IV playoffs.
Sac-Joaquin Section banners are within reach for the Weston Ranch and Ripon Christian boys soccer teams.
Two down, two more to go for Ripon High's boys water polo team.
Not even a disastrous start to her second nine could derail Brooke Riley's round Monday morning.
The Ripon Chiefs junior varsity football team crushed the Calaveras Jr. Redskins 24-0 to earn its second straight Motherlode Valley Football League championship Saturday at Escalon High.
Good news first: Ripon and Ripon Christian's volleyball teams each get to host a match for the Sac-Joaquin Section Division IV playoffs.
Two-point conversion kicks made the difference in the Manteca Cowboys varsity team's 8-6 overtime win over the Edison Jr. Vikings in Stockton.
SACRAMENTO - Hunter Johnson and Daniel Wyatt weren't at full strength to begin with.
SACRAMENTO - It was at this gym two years ago that Weston Ranch missed an opportunity to face Valley Oak League nemesis Sierra for the Sac-Joaquin Section Division III championship.
Sierra already proved to be the best in the Valley Oak League for a fourth straight season.
The Manteca High girls soccer team cruised to its second win in as many days on Saturday, as five different players scored a goal in its 6-0 rout of visiting Chavez.
Rio Americano is a guard-oriented team that uses deadeye shooting, overall speed and unselfishness to overcome its deficiencies in the post.
It took less than an hour for Manteca to get its first official match out of the way Friday.
Help wanted: East Union seeking suitable training partners for blossoming 220-pound wrestler.
PATTERSON - Patterson head coach Elizabeth Tolleson burned two timeouts in the first three-plus minutes of the fourth quarter to give her overtaxed players a breather.
CERES - Young, yes, but these Cougars from Weston Ranch are far from inexperienced.
STOCKTON - Rosemont stifled Weston Ranch's guards early and fully controlled the tempo in Tuesday's Sac-Joaquin Section Division III opener.
Inconsistency on offense has plagued Ripon all season, and the 14th-seeded Indians battled through the shooting yips once again in their Sac-Joaquin Section Division IV opener at No. 3 West Campus.
Ripon Christian's first-round opponent?
Weston Ranch hadn't lost back-to-back games all season until it dropped its final two in the Valley Oak League.
George Contente looked at West Campus and Colfax as potential opponents first round opponents for his Ripon High girls basketball team.
Daniel Ruiz made five straight free throws in the final minute, 30 seconds, helping host Golden West edge previously-undefeated Sequoia 48-47 in Tuesday's thrilling Manteca Unified Student Trust small-school boys basketball championship game.

Fiscal cliff awaits Obama
WASHINGTON US President Barack Obama overcame a disappointingly slow economic recovery and a massive advertising onslaught to win a second term on Tuesday night, forging a coalition of women, minorities and young people that reflects the changing political face of America.
Obama defeated Republican challenger Mitt Romney in a gruelling presidential race and used his acceptance speech in front of a huge cheering crowd in Chicago to strike a conciliatory note towards his political opponents.
But Obama is returning from the campaign with little time to savour victory, facing urgent economic challenges, a looming fiscal showdown and a still-divided Congress able to block his every move.
Obama had a slim lead in the national popular vote, leading Romney by 50 per cent to 49 per cent after drawing more than 56 million votes. Turnout appeared strong, though official figures had yet to be released.
The president did make history of a fashion on Tuesday, becoming the first incumbent since Franklin D. Roosevelt to win a second term with unemployment above 7.4 per cent.
Separately in Muscat, His Majesty Sultan Qaboos Bin Said has sent a cable of congratulations to US President Barack Obama on the occasion of his re-election as US President for second term.
His Majesty expressed his congratulations and best wishes to Obama in leading the American people to achieve further progress, welfare and prosperity and further progress in the ties between the two countries to serve the interests of the Omani and American people.
The election outcome was surprisingly swift. Major television networks called the race against Republican Mitt Romney less than 20 minutes after the polls closed on the West Coast, as a succession of battleground states tipped the president's way.
But in the cold light of the 2012 election's morning-after, it was clear that even though voters have endorsed a second Obama term, the president will have a hard time translating that into a mandate to push forward with his agenda.
His most immediate concern is confronting a "fiscal cliff" of automatic tax increases and spending cuts that could crush the US economy recovery - a prospect that weighed heavily on global financial markets on Wednesday and sent Wall Street stocks into a post-election swoon.
Voters chose to preserve the status quo of divided government in Washington. Obama's fellow Democrats retained control of the Senate and Republicans kept their majority in the House of Representatives, giving them power to curb the president's legislative ambitions on everything from taxes to immigration reform.
With only Florida among the battleground states still to be declared, Obama had 303 electoral votes — well over the 270 needed to win the White House — and Republican challenger Mitt Romney formally conceded the race.
Thousands of Obama supporters at a victory celebration in Chicago erupted in cheers when the race was called, and a boisterous crowd quickly gathered in front of the White House, chanting "four more years" and "O-bama, O-bama."
Claiming victory before a roaring, flag-waving crowd in his hometown of Chicago, Obama summoned a bit of the poetry that was absent throughout much of the acrid campaign. He told supporters that the country was moving forward "because of you."
"You reaffirmed the spirit that has triumphed over war and depression, the spirit that has lifted this country from the depths of despair to the great heights of hope," he said, "the belief that while each of us will pursue our own individual dreams, we are an America family, and we rise or fall together as one nation and one people."
"I have never been more hopeful about America. And I ask you to sustain that hope," Obama said.
At 7.8 per cent, the jobless rate stands a tick up from when Obama took office amid the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression.
Remarkably, his coalition of Hispanic, black, and young voters turned out in similar numbers to those of his heady change-fueled campaign in 2008, shocking Romney's team and presenting a new American face to the world.
In a show of bipartisanship after a searing campaign, the president said he wanted to meet his vanquished foe to find common ground to move America forward.
The president will face a tough task enacting his second term agenda after Republicans, who thwarted him repeatedly in his first mandate, retained control of the House of Representatives.
Democrats kept the Senate but fell short of the 60-vote super majority needed to sidestep minority blocking tactics.
Despite his resounding victory, diehard Republicans were already challenging Obama's mandate, pointing to his slim lead in the national popular vote where he led Romney by 50 per cent to 49 per cent.
"I think the real story here is that Obama won, but he's got no mandate," leading conservative commentator Charles Krauthammer declared on Fox News.
"The Republicans are in control of the House, probably a little bit stronger. They are not going to budge. There's no way after holding out on Obama for two years they're going to cave in, and Obama doesn't have anywhere really to go."
Republican House of Representatives Speaker John Boehner drew a line in the sand on Tuesday night even before Obama's win was sealed.
"The American people want solutions — and tonight they've responded by renewing our House Republican majority," Boehner said. "With this vote, the American people have also made clear that there is no mandate for raising tax rates."
But Boehner did schedule a statement for Wednesday afternoon on the "fiscal cliff" acknowledging "the need for both parties to find common ground."

The Daviess Community Hospital Foundation is accepting applications for this year's Health Career Scholarships.
The hospital foundation says it will be awarding 13 thousand 500 dollars in scholarships to residents of Daviess, Martin, and Pike counties. Dependents of Daviess Community Hospital employees from any area are also eligible.
The scholarships will be awarded to students attending an accredited college or university who are pursuing degrees in the health care field. The scholarships will be awarded through 2 different programs.
13 thousand dollars will be awarded from the Health Careers Scholarship Program. Each individual recipient could get up to 15 hundred dollars. The remaining 500 dollars will be awarded as 1 scholarship to a nursing student out of the Helen Arthur Memorial Scholarship.
Applications are available now by going online to dchosp.org. For more information you can contact the hospital foundation's office at (812)-254-2760 extension 1126.
The deadline for all applications is March 30th.
The revitalization of Jasper's Astra Theater has gotten another shot in the arm.
Next Act Inc, who is leading the effort, announced this morning that they have received a 50 thousand dollar grant from Friends of the Arts Inc. The grant dollars have been transferred to the group's funds to create an endowment for the Astra and to purchase the building.
The investment is the 2nd largest one in the project to date. The largest was a 100 thousand dollar matching grant given by the Dubois County Community Foundation back in November of last year.
Next Act board president Marc Stecyzk says today's announcement is important not only to Next Act, but to others who may be interested in this project:
Now Next Act began working to purchase and endow a sustainability fund for the Astra Theater back in December. The goal is still to raise 465 thousand dollars by March 31st. The funds will go towards buying the building and creating the endowment that will assist with monthly costs in the short term and will sustain the building for the long haul.
For more information, you can contact Friends of the Arts president Bob McCarty at (812)-482-5542. For more on Next Act, you can go to thenextact.org.
Local legislators and business leaders are continuing discussions with state officials on the Mid-States Corridor.
Earlier this week, project leader Hank Menke gave his update to the Dubois County Council. Menke told the council that he and District 63 State Representative Mike Braun met with Indiana Department of Transportation commissioner Karl Browning this past Friday to continue discussions on funding. Menke says funding continues to be the biggest issue.
He says Browning is insisting on private sector and local government funding sources before moving ahead:
Now Menke has been making the rounds to local government meetings to ask for their support. He says the public and private support has continued to be robust. Menke is also thankful for Braun's efforts:
The Dubois County Council approved advertising for 5 thousand dollars a year over each of the next 2 years. Council president Greg Kendall says infrastructure remains a key part of economic development locally:
Menke says the meetings with INDOT will continue. He says consultants from Florida and Texas will also be brought in to get more input on how the project could be funded.
1-to-1 education technology will soon make its way to Jasper Middle School and Jasper High School.
The idea was discussed earlier this week at the Greater Jasper School Board's regular monthly meeting. Superintendent Dr. Tracey Lorey says step 1 to making that happen is to work on upgrading the infrastructure at both buildings. The district would implement the technology for grades 6 through 12.
Lorey says roughly 1700 devices will need to be purchased. She says a big part of the change will be to make sure teachers understand the role of the technology:
Lorey says school officials are continuing to test out devices that could be used for this initiative. She says the district is also continuing to talk with teachers, students, and other school districts that already use the technology. Both the Northeast and Southeast Dubois school districts have already implemented the 1 to 1 technology.
Lorey says the devices will likely not be ready in time for the start of school next year, though they could be rolled out shortly thereafter. The Jasper school board will look further into the costs of the technology and associated upgrades at future meetings.
A Petersburg man found guilty on murder charges almost 2 years ago will now have his case heard before Indiana's highest court.
The Evansville Courier reports that 39-year-old Andrew Satterfield's appeal is set to be heard by the Indiana Supreme Court tomorrow. Satterfield was found guilty in November of 2013 for murdering his mother (58-year-old Kathy Satterfield) and setting her home on fire in December of 2011.
Reports say Satterfield's attorneys are asking the state's high court to reverse his life without parole sentence on the grounds that he is mentally ill. Satterfield's attorneys say a 20 year history of mental illness should have been enough for the Pike County courts to rule in Satterfield's favor.
Now Indiana State Police began investigating this case after fire crews and other emergency personnel were called to a fire at Satterfield's home along Pike County Road 350 North just outside of Petersburg. Kathy Satterfield was found dead inside of the home by authorities.
State police say they found that the fire had been intentionally started during their investigation. State police also say Kathy Satterfield died of gunshot wounds and that Andrew shot and killed Kathy before setting the fire.
Andrew Satterfield was arrested in January of 2012 on murder and arson charges after a warrant was issued from the Pike County Prosecutor's Office.
The Indiana Supreme Court will likely issue its ruling at a later date.
A Holland woman is facing felony battery charges following her arrest last night.
Just before 8:10 pm, Dubois County Sheriff's deputies were called to investigate a possible battery that occurred at a residence in the 6800 block of West 1025 South just outside of Holland. When they arrived on scene, deputies talked with a man who had been involved in the battery. He told deputies during an argument with 48-year-old AnJanette Welp, Welp hit him in the chest, causing redness and pain. Deputies say 2 children under the age of 16 were present when the incident happened.
Welp was found at a family member's Jasper residence. She was arrested and taken to the Dubois County Security Center. Welp is charged with a Level 6 felony for domestic battery in the presence of a child.
The Holland Town Marshal also assisted.
Kimball International Inc. announced earlier today that the company's board of directors have elected Thomas Tischhauser to the newly created position of lead independent director during its meeting held on February 17th.
The company says Tischhauser will chair non-management executive sessions of the board, act as a liaison between the board and executive management of the company, assist in setting meeting agendas, assist the chairman in board and board member performance assessments and act as chairman in the event the current chairman is unavailable.
Tischhauser, a former executive at Motorola, is a consultant to leading public companies. He has served on the board of Kimball International since 2008, including serving on the audit committee and the compensation and governance committee.

Reed Street Yards could see 2014 startup
Water Roundtable
The developer of the Reed Street Yards in Milwaukee is predicting the water business park's first building will be under construction by the first half of next year.
Contractors are installing roads and utilities at the Reed Street Yards, marking the first step in reviving the long-dormant former rail yard. The 17 acres are in the shadow of the Sixth Street viaduct, with the Menomonee River to the north and Iron Horse Hotel to the south.
Buoyed by local and state development officials, Reed Street Yards is the vortex of efforts to attract more water technology companies and jobs to Milwaukee. It also could support broader growth in the surrounding Walker's Point area, including the renovation of neighboring industrial buildings for more water companies and apartments for their employees.
There is room in the yards for an estimated nine buildings with a combined 1 million square feet, said Michael Weiss, president of General Capital Group LLP, Milwaukee. General Capital and local developer Peter Moede are developing the Reed Street Yards with the help of city financing to pay for infrastructure.
"I like to think we'll do a building a year, every year, for the next nine years," Weiss said. "Now that the infrastructure is underway it really is happening and we have something to market. We are starting to ramp up those efforts and we have a number of legitimate, promising conversations."
No companies have committed, although employers from outside the region are interested, Weiss said.
Weiss and Moede said the concept of a water technology park came from Rocky Marcoux, Milwaukee Department of City Development commissioner.
Moede said opportunities generated by Milwaukee's growing water technology cluster are the reason he is pursuing a business park at the Reed Street Yards. Growth in Milwaukee's office market is historically slow-paced, he said.
"In 2009, I was approached by Rocky Marcoux from DCD and he said, 'Peter, I have an opportunity for you,'" Moede said. "It's not something I would have dreamt up on my own. Personally, a straight business park is not something I would be interested in."
The Water Council's members are supporting the effort. Weiss said he tours prospects for the Reed Street Yards through the council's neighboring Global Water Center.
The area proved a good fit for the water center, which is for startup technology companies, said Rich Meeusen, chairman and chief executive officer of Badger Meter Inc. in Brown Deer and co-chairman of The Water Council. Between the water center, former industrial buildings in the surrounding neighborhood and the Reed Street Yards, there are facility locations for companies of any size, he said.
"If you are looking for 4,000 square feet, we've got that in The Water Council," Meeusen said. "If you are looking for 20,000 or 30,000 square feet and you don't want to build a new building, there's plenty of buildings to rehab. If you are looking for a building you want to build, talk to Mike Weiss. We have everything to offer down here in that area of the city."
Weiss is getting support marketing the yards from city officials, the Wisconsin Economic Development Corp. and ambassadors from the local water industry, such as David Garman, founding dean of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee School of Freshwater Sciences.
"I've talked about it around the world, Istanbul, in China, Singapore, and so on," Garman said. "That could actually become an icon to the world to be able to show what the water industry is. It's something solid where we can say that is one of the icons, one of the symbols, of Milwaukee being a success."

With this type of gameplay, you can only be a loser. You can't "win" this game. It's just a survival mode. Kids probably will be frustrated to lose, because you can only lose. Maybe dividing it in levels would be a good idea. So at least the kid would win levels.

Great, now Siemens is getting better at fighting corruption. Meanwhile, Siemens is busy planning the layoff of thousands of employees.
This compliance guy raised an issue to his superiors at JP Morgan Chase. Instead of listening and following up they fire him and are later sued for the issue he raised. Compliance is all window dressing. They are never proactive just reactive. Why is it Compliance can never get ahead of an issue? What do they do all day long? Review exception reports? The mind set must change.
how come the CFO of Siemens Mr. Kaeser did not know about the sluch funds which were there for years?. as long as he is still in post, Siemens can not realy claim "they are doing everything, and have 0 tolerence""
I doubt this is the end of the road. Siemens' settlement was for only a select number of charges; they're still open to millions (billions?) in various liabilities. Sad thing for them that this is all hitting as Europe's economy is starting to tank.
Great, lets open the can and see what worms are involved. I am pretty sure many high level officials are involved as well
For those of you dancing on Siemens' reputation because of the actions of a few, I have question.
Is Democracy a bad idea just because we get a horrible president once every few elections ?
Point is, Siemens is one of the best, strongest business organizations in the world, and it's operated in a world class manner, and any suggestion that this incident was more than an aboration is simply a way for pepople to show their corporate envy.
I worked at Siemens during this time and was told by my VP to go download proprietary information at Cisco Systems. I would not and raised the flag with Siemens Compliance, HR, upper management. Nothing happened, but a few months later I was let go.

The First Amendment rights of judges are a hot topic these days.
Plaintiffs' lawyers dodged a bullet last year when the U.S. Supreme Court spared a quarter-century-old precedent that had served as the legal linchpin of the modern investor class-action case. Despite that win, a new report suggests that securities class actions have lost some of their firepower.
In a week in which images of Prophet Muhammad were connected to acts of terror and defiant expressions of freedom, a sculpture of the prophet of Islam inside the U.S. Supreme Court has drawn little notice.
Alan Dershowitz has vowed to slap a defamation suit against the two lawyers who claimed in a court document that Florida financier Jeffrey Epstein arranged sexual liaisons for him with an underage prostitute. Those lawyers have beaten him to the punch.
The salacious allegations against Prince Andrew and Alan Dershowitz that surfaced in a federal lawsuit involving convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein have generated international attention. Drawing less coverage is the lawsuit itself -- a case with the potential to expand the rights of crime victims during federal investigations.

Laurie Penny: Why do so many men
harass women on the streets?
For many women, being wolf-whistled is as hurtful as being
groped, slapped or flashed. So why do men do it?
Street harassment? What are the ladies complaining about? It's just attention, isn't it, and women love attention! They'd probably complain more if they didn't get catcalled, groped and followed home! I've heard this sort of argument from men so many times that it's impossible to dismiss as wilful stupidity.
A lot of men and boys don't understand what it's like to be a woman in a public place. The feeling that you have less right than a man to your own space, without being hassled, groped, or worse. Not every time you go out, but any time you go out, and that's what's important.
The man who yells "give us a smile!" or "nice legs!" at a passing teenager often doesn't understand that what he might think is a harmless compliment is part of a total atmosphere of threat and invasion of privacy, where any man has the right to comment on your body if you choose to go outside with it. It's hard for men to understand the calculations women make – when a stranger shouts at you in the street, it's impossible to know whether it will end there, or whether he will be the one who follows you home, the one who tries to put his hand up your skirt. You have to decide whether to ignore him, and run the risk that he might become angry and aggressive, or to smile and respond, which he might take as encouragement.
That's why it's important that this study recognises that for many women, being wolf-whistled and catcalled in public are experiences which, while easier to brush off, figure on the same spectrum of unwanted sexual attention as being groped, slapped or flashed.
What street harassment tells women is that we should expect to pay a price for being female in public. Many young women, growing up, learn that it is up to us to "fend off" sexual harassment in public places – by dressing conservatively, taking the shortest route home, not travelling alone after dark. We learn, in short, that public sexual harassment is our fault. It's time we change to record.

Title: Differentiating between Cow-itch vine and Balsam-gourd vine
Answered by: Joe Marcus and Nan Hampton
How can I tell the difference between Cow-itch vine and Balsam-gourd vine?ANSWER:
Cow-itch vine (Cissus trifoliata), a member of the Family Vitaceae (Grape Family) and Balsam-gourd vine (Ibervillea lindheimeri), a member of the Family Cucurbitaceae (Cucumber Family) are easily confused since they have foliage that looks very similar. Here are some tips on telling them apart.1. Cow-itch leaves are typically, but not always, fleshier than Balsam-gourd leaves.
2. The stem of Cow-itch vine is also usually fleshy, soft and brownish in color; while a Balsam-gourd vine stem is normally thinner, stringier, and green. This may be the easiest recognition feature to use if the plants are not in flower or fruit.
3. The crushed foliage and stems of Cow-itch exudes a foul, burnt rubber odor, while Balsam-gourd does not. However, since handling Cow-itch vine causes contact dermatitis on some people, caution should be exercised if you're not sure about your own sensitivity to it.
4. The tendrils on Cow-itch emerge from the stem opposite the leaf axil, while on Balsam-gourd the tendrils emerge in or next to the leaf axil. Distinguishing the species by this feature is not always certain because of variability within individuals. The tendrils have another characteristic that is often useful but not always sure. The tendrils of Cow-itch tend to have more of a meandering appearance than those on Balsam-gourd. Balsam-gourd tendrils usually exhibit a more regular spiral, resembling the wire spring of an ink pen.
5. Cow-itch flowers are small, greenish and occur in large clusters. Balsam-gourd flowers are larger and showier, yellow to greenish-yellow and typically have one to few flowers per inflorescence.
6. The fruits of Cow-itch are small, black berries occurring in large clusters; while Balsam-gourd fruits are large, red and showy when ripe and typically occur singly at any leaf axil.
7. Finally, if you have access to a magnifying glass, you can see small pores on the surface of the underside of Balsam-gourd leaves. There are no pores on the underside of the leaves of Cow-itch.
