An obsession with la muerte

The Bottom Line: Why Responsible Travel Matters
by Kathryn Maier
As panel moderator Dorinda Elliott, Deputy Editor at Conde Nast Traveler, said in her introduction, corporate social responsibility has come a long way since Milton Freeman declared that the social responsibility of a business is to increase profits. These days, it's increasingly vital for competitive success.
The way companies look at corporate social responsibility has evolved from philanthropy to real integration into business practices, according to panelist Kara Hartnett Hurst, Managing Director of Business for Social Responsibility. It's now less about giving away the money you've made, and more about how you made it in the first place. It's also becoming more of a leading factor that consumers are considering when deciding whom to do business with.
Mark Hoplamazian, President and CEO of Hyatt Hotels Corporation, echoed this statement when talking about sustainability initiatives that have been implemented at his company's hotels, which have proven to produce cost savings as well. An example he gave was that in Santiago, Chile, a team collected waste stream items that were recyclable and received money for them. The proceeds went to a local charity for burn victims. Similar initiatives have been implemented in Moscow and Mumbai. According to Hoplamazian, it's possible to align economic decisions with CSR initiatives, it just takes ingenuity.
Several panelists have increasingly seen that guests want to actively participate in a company's CSR initiatives. Raymond Bickson, CEO of Taj Hotels Resorts and Palaces, says that some of his lodges in India have adopted schools, and offer excursions where travelers can go and read to the children there.
Abercrombie & Kent started its philanthropic foundation 27 years ago, according to Vice Chairman Jorie Butler Kent, who said that social responsibility is just as important to her company's guests as it was before the economic crisis. Every destination management company has a project running now, in 27 countries. Guests love to visit the projects, she said, to see what the company is doing and become actively involved; A&K has recently introduced philanthropic travel as a separate offering.
In response to an audience question about the willingness of companies to work together to achieve a set of common CSR goals, Elliott gave credit to the companies -- Abercrombie & Kent, Carlson Hotels, Fairmont Hotels, Four Seasons, Hyatt Corporation, InterContinental, Kimpton Hotels, Loews, Marriott, Ritz-Carlton, Starwood, and Vail Resorts -- who've been working together to set standards for measuring and reducing water consumption. All are competitors, and each company handles these issues differently, Elliott said, but each believed that this issue is important enough to work together on it.
But yet, the average consumer may not know about the CSR initiatives that many travel companies have implemented. Hoplamazian sees this as a missed business opportunity. "Everyone's consciousness has been raised," he said. "Guests now come to our properties aware of and interested and wanting to participate in the inititives."

Gerrard Winstanley commented on the blog post Membership Call May 11 to Discuss What FDL Should Do for the 2012 Election… and Beyond
The Webinar medium is great idea. The blogging format tends to be a little isolated, alienated and always has a "preaching to the choir" problem.
Part of the goal here should be to develop a working consensus. In that regard I would like to lobby for integrating styles of "Participatory Democracy" and "Consensus Democracy" into the structure of the Webinar format. Please read Wikipedia for a great description.
In the case of the issue of "what should be done for the 2012 elections", I hope that we could move through a brainstorming phase to a point where we had three or four directions – and then have a real consensus building process where everyone tries to develop the best case for each of the directions; in turn those could be boiled into a single narrative that almost everyone could approve.
Back to the idea of expanding the medium.
Of course in this case, the webinar format is used internal consensus building – no ambiguity about "preaching to the choir" here. However, I think that a serious leftist group should have a complementary outward focus to its intellectual activity. For instance, most of the webinar's I see are canned webinar's where a company is trying to explain/publicize/sell its technology. I would like to see FDL build outwardly focused canned webinars on keystone issues.
Finally, one other format that may be very useful for internal intellectual activity is a Skype based book club or discussion group. Using Skype would overcome the challenge of physical presence. I haven't tried this yet, but I would love to experiment.

They define themselves as a right wing populist movement with a fundamental structure of small, [...]
Gerrard Winstanley commented on the blog post It's a Ripoff! -or- Why America Spends So Much on Health Care
This is truly a wonderful Post and discussion – so good, that I again feel some desperation. There is an need to take this type of Blogging to another level. There are two problems here:
1) Many Posts and discussion threads make assumptions about a shared world view, but that foundational world view is missing – and is at risk of not really being shared. This Post and discussion is outstanding because it provides some of that foundation, but this is the exception.
2) Most Posts/discussions are focused on an audience that shares that world view. There is a speaking to the choir problem. There is little focus on actually chaining minds.
There is an opportunity to enhance the Blogging paradigm to have more political impact. Maybe this is done somewhere else, but FDL as the home of the professional left is a good place to make the leap.
Here are some brainstorming ideas:
Health care reform blogs should hang off a health care reform home page that has other content. A featured part of this content would be a few key position papers and talking point docs that are rated / approved by membership based on rubrics. The key notion here is to develop a new style of web-driven Deliberative Authority that is consistent, integrated, and intentionally political (This is the Deliberative Authority of Wikipedia with a Political Perspective). I want to be able to email my conservative friends a white paper and say "This is where 100,000 FDL members stand on Health Care". Rational argument counts.
Gerrard Winstanley commented on the blog post Health Insurance Exchanges: Really Bad Idea Then, Really Bad Idea Now
This is wonderful — but most of it escapes me.
Is there a good analysis of the Health Care Insurance options which is less than 50 pages?
I have a sense that looking at the limits of the free market paradigm for economic organization is like looking into an abyss. If this doesn't work for health care, what else doesn't it work for? How do you traverse this space? Where are the philosophical pitons?
Gerrard Winstanley commented on the blog post "I Really Do Believe That We Will Be Greeted As Liberators."
There is another insight to be had out of this. To the extent that the Tea Party can be characterized as "bonding through hatred" – hatred as a self reinforcing addiction; I would expect that at some point soon there be a turn where some of them, some of the time, try to hide the intensity of hatred. I suspect we will see this split now… a division of labor inside the Tea Party. Some will be up for a little midnight riot and others for singing Kumbayah with a Joker smile plastered across their face.
Gerrard Winstanley wrote a new diary post: Spring Planning – (First Post)

A Japanese soldier grins as he cradles a tiny baby in a fuzzy pink blanket, plucked from a wreckage-blocked house three days after a powerful earthquake and tsunami flattened much of the country's north-eastern coastline.
The moment -- captured by a photographer from leading Japanese daily Yomiuri and published by newspapers and websites worldwide -- evoked a rare glimmer of hope amid so much destruction and death from the March 11 disasters that killed an estimated 26,000 people.
Weeks later, 5-month-old Iroha Ishikawa is now healthy and safe, living at a shelter inside an elementary school with her parents in Ishinomaki, 320 km northeast of Tokyo.
"I'm happy that we were rescued, but there is a lot of sadness behind it -- many families didn't make it," the infant's mother, Yuki Ishikawa, tells The Associated Press.
Ishikawa, 41, says she was home with her baby daughter on the Friday afternoon when the magnitude-9 earthquake hit, rattling her home and toppling furniture. She began packing her car to flee when her husband, Takatoshi, returned from work and said he heard strange noises -- the sounds of a powerful tsunami blasting its way through their neighbourhood near the shore.
The mother grabbed only Iroha and a baby bag as she ran for safety. It had a thermos with some hot water, two cans of milk, three baby bottles and some diapers in it.
They fled to the second story of a neighbour's house along with the couple that lived there. A minute later the tsunami crashed through the first floor.
"We saw all kinds of things get washed by in the waters -- debris, cars, and to be honest, bodies," she says. "We stayed there for two days with nothing to eat or drink, except for what the baby had."
Two days after the tsunami, the waters receded, and the two men were able to scrounge some food. The group of five was located by soldiers, who asked them to move to a crowded shelter closer to the shore. They declined, and then a powerful aftershock sent everyone scrambling for safety. The troops returned the next day.
"The doors of the house were blocked by cars and other debris, so we had to go out through a window. The soldiers helped us out through the window, and that was when the picture was taken," Yuki Ishikawa says.
Since then, the Ishikawas have been living in the elementary school, with father Takatoshi so busy fixing pipes at damaged buildings that he has had little time to clean up their own home. The mother says she can't really think very far into the future, but she hopes they can move to temporary housing or somewhere with more privacy.
As for the widely viewed photo, she says it is such a positive image that it masks some of the tragedy of the tsunami.
"I don't really have any feelings about the picture itself," Iroha's mother says. "I just want people to know the reality of what happened here."

That the concern for life by some pro-lifers simply extends to the life in the womb is, in my view, undoubtedly true. It is not however, representative of the whole and all of the major pro-life organisations would contest this claim I am sure. (A simple check on their websites would show this one way or the other). It's also worth remembering that hypocrisy, of itself, does nothing to invalidate an argument.
Also, the analogy linking pro-choice and Nazi ideologies is simply to highlight a disregard for human life based on arbitrary value judgments, (one being 'age', the other being 'race').
Some pro-lifers, even religious ones, seem to care for the sanctity of life as long as it's in the womb. Once outside of that, they're a lot more indifferent. And for anyone making analogies to Nazism and abortion: the Nazis banned abortion in their territories; it may even have been a capital crime.
@DG - To be clear, at no point did my comment suggest anything about you personally. My comment was directed clearly against the point suggested by you, namely that there is no particular reason why all human life should be treated equally.
You subsequently introduce, arbitrarily and without qualification, the idea of citizenship, claiming all "citizens" should be treated equally. The amorality I spoke of alludes to a society that justifies the imposition of subjective value judgments in a discriminatory fashion as alluded to in your suggestion that all human should needn't be treated equally.
If someone claims what society wants without supporting that claim with evidence, that is, amongst other things, arrogance.
Whilst it is undoubtedly true that British society is becoming increasingly more secular (census data supports this claim), it is almost irrelevant when it comes to the issue of abortion. Not every atheist/agnostic feels like they need to rant like Dawkins or wants to beat down on religion for all of society's ills. Many people who do not consider themselves religious hold a strong pro-life view on purely humanitarian grounds.
The UDHR is probably the most celebrated internationally recognised piece of legislation that affirms the basic principle that all should be treated equally, regardless of social function and standing. Difference here does not does not automatically imply inequality.
Biological life is an ageing process. Replicating cells develop and at different stages in this process, various developments occur. "Foetus" is just one of several stages that occur in one longer continuous process. So if an exception is made at one stage of development then why not at another? Why, for example, not legislate to end life once at the stage of puberty? This ultimately leads to an arbitrary choice and arbitrary value judgment being used to discriminate on the basis of age.
Other than a request for honesty, I have no ideological axe to grind either way. If a human heart that begins beating at around 21 days can be legally snuffed out up to 24 weeks, let's not pretend that GB has anything but the worst humanitarian record.
Come to think of it, it's not even true that all citizens are equal before the law. The law for children is different in many ways from the law for adults; indeed, the law even distinguishes between children of different ages.
This is because children, although they are genetically human, are functionally different from adult humans, and so it doesn't make sense to treat them in the same way. Fetuses are also genetically human but functionally even more different from adult humans, and therefore the law for them is even more different.
A human corpse is genetically human. A human organ being transferred from one body to another in a transplant operation is genetically human. But of course the law doesn't treat them as live adult humans, because they're functionally very different.
Lawrence1435: No, I'm not amoral merely because I happen to disagree with you.
"our entire judicial system is based on the principle that all are equal before the law." All citizens are (or should be) equal before the law. A fetus is not a citizen and may never become one. A country may decide to award fetuses citizenship status, or it may not. It may also decide to award citizenship status to horses, dogs, cats, mice, etc., or it may not. Thus far, countries haven't tended to.
It's not arrogance to say that American religious fanatics aren't wanted over here. It's a fact of life. The UK is becoming a secular society, and more slowly western Europe in general. A while ago the Archbishop of Canterbury complained that religion is now regarded as an eccentricity.
DG, "No, in the UK all human life isn't equal, nor is there any particular reason why it should be." In an amoral society that would be true. However, there is a clear logical inconsistency with such a statement because it supposes one arbitrary value judgment to be preferential. Also, a corollary of this would mean that one life is qualitatively more valuable than another. This of course is complete nonsense as our entire judicial system is based on the principle that all are equal before the law. Social order is just one reason why it should be and just plain, common sense decency is another. Sympathizers of Nazis, KKK, BNP ideology might disagree but they need to show why this is the case.
It is arrogant to suggest what is and isn't wanted over here. Those same "religious fanatics" could equally argue that the selfishness of radical secularism is not wanted over here either – both thoroughly ridiculous positions if they don't support their respective view with evidence.
The issue of life was won specifically by embryologists, plain and simple. Science demonstrates this and pro-choice ideology, introducing vague and ambiguous references tries to argue against empirical evidence.
The debate surrounding the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill gave rise to a similar situation as to that which has recently occurred regarding Dorries's proposed amendments. Well placed pro-choicers have been able to manipulate the situation.
Cover-up, collusion and shady backroom deals still rule the day. Pro-life? Fine Pro-choice? Fine. Just don't pee on my leg and then tell me it's raining.
"The debate surrounding the issue of abortion has been stifled"
Actually, no, it hasn't. There has been extensive debate around the subject in the UK in recent years, not least during the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill, when MPs voted decisively against reducing the upper time limits for abortion. A move which suggests that "issue of life and personhood" hasn't been won by pro-lifers at all.
Lawrence1435: No, in the UK all human life isn't equal, nor is there any particular reason why it should be. You might just as well suggest that all animal life should be equal (are you a vegetarian?) or that all life should be equal (I hope you can survive on a diet of inorganic matter).
American religious fanatics are not wanted over here.
The debate surrounding the issue of abortion has been stifled. As with many social ills, money is the root cause for this. More sex ed., more condoms, all that liberal minded ideology has clearly failed with rates of unwanted pregnancies and levels of abortions so ridiculously high.
Marie Stopes may well be a charity but it has an extremely wealthy benefactor in the NHS. It is right to suggest each side approaches the issue with its own bias but this does nothing to negate the fact that Marie Stopes does have a clear financial incentive when it comes to the advice it gives.
The issue of life and personhood has been won by pro-lifers. It begins, in the biological sense, at conception. 3D sonograms and beating at hearts observed at 21 days suggest a somewhat nefarious intent behind those willing to maintain "choice" as being a legitimate position to hold. Let's have some honesty. In the UK all human life isn't equal.
The header and most of the article point to the ideological war around abortion and the way it is fought in USA. The final paragraph raises most relevant, but rather different questions. What is the relation between these two? I fear that a (USA style) ideological war will lead to more illegal (=bad practiced) abortions and unwanted children.
"...why, after advances in contraception and a boom in sex education, the number of unwanted pregnancies remains so high?"
Couldn't be risk compensation, could it? Is that thought ridiculous, or merely unpalatable? Is it beyond the bounds of possibility that telling young people that sex "in a caring relationship" is a) entirely acceptable and b) almost free of consequences (if done right) may result in sexual activity increasing to an extent that more than compensates for the accompanying efforts at contraception?

Hucklebridge, Frank and Mellins, J. and Evans, Philip D. and Clow, Angela (2002) The awakening cortisol response: no evidence for an influence of body posture. Life Sciences, 71 (6). pp. 639-646. ISSN 0024-3205

It has recently been reported that the orthostatic challenge associated with postural change from sitting to an upright position is stimulatory to the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis as evidenced by increased salivary free cortisol. This stimulatory influence is potentially a confound for the many psychoneuroendocrine studies for which salivary free cortisol is the main dependent variable. This particularly relates to laboratory psychosocial stress procedures in which subjects are invited to stand in order to deliver public speech and the studies which have explored the cortisol response to awakening in which postural shift has not been controlled for. We therefore examined, in a balanced cross over design whether the awakening cortisol response was influenced by standing, shortly after awakening or remaining supine during the response study period. In addition and in the same subjects we measured the cardiovascular response and saliva cortisol response to the orthostatic challenge of shifting from a supine to a standing position later in the diurnal cortisol cycle. The expected cortisol response to awakening was demonstrated but there was no evidence that the postural shift, supine to standing, confounded the response. This same postural shift later in the day induced the expected increase in heart rate but cortisol simply followed the circadian decline. Under the conditions of the present study we found no evidence that the postural shift supine to standing could induce a cortisol secretory episode such as to contribute towards the awakening response.

That's higher than what the school paid for meals before implementing the Vetri program last year. People For People operations director Andre Williams would not be more specific, but said officials are trying to offset the increase through grants and other means.
"It costs more, but we believe there is a benefit," Williams said.
Each weekday before lunch, student "table captains" don black chef coats, lay down plastic tablecloths, create place settings, pour water and serve salad. After their peers arrive and eat the first course, captains return to the kitchen to bring back the entree and, later, dessert.
That's a lot less chaotic than the old way of lining up buffet-style, which often led to pushing and shoving, said seventh-grader Kealani Gambrel. And the meals aren't bad either, she said after sampling Tuesday's menu: Romaine lettuce and carrots topped with homemade tomato vinaigrette, roast beef and garlic-roasted potatoes, and an apple for dessert.
"It's healthier for us to eat," said Gambrel, noting students now get salads every day. "I think they should add just a little bit of seasoning to the food."
But many of her peers — even while praising some new dishes like curried chicken — complain that they miss the French fries, pizza, burgers and cheesesteaks they ate last year.
That doesn't surprise Margo Wootan, a nutrition lobbyist for the Washington, D.C.-based Center for Science in the Public Interest. Schools have a hard time making wholesome food seem appealing because students have grown up in a "junk-food culture," she said.

I am organizing a company retreat at the Willows Lodge over a weekend in May. Saturday night's dinner reservations are taken care of at the Barking Frog. However, we need a place for Friday's dinner. I'm looking for recommendations of restaurants within about a five minute drive from the Willows Lodge that can accommodate a party of 11, have full bars, have very good food, and aren't formal.
Barking Frog

About an 8 minute drive south would be Matt's Rotisserie and Oyster Lounge in the Redmond Town Center. I believe they match your criteria fairly well. Pomegranate Bistro is about 12 minutes away and is also close to what you are looking for. Woodinville just doesn't have much in the way of good food.

Independent Radio Stations: Getting By With A Little Help From Their Friends
By Gary Trust
Despite economic challenges, independently-owned radio stations focusing on localism are finding ways to thrive.
Adult alternative-formatted mvyradio, broadcasting from the island of Martha's Vineyard, Mass., prides itself on breaking new singer/songwriters while playing the best rock dating back to the Beatles. So, what was it doing playing AC icon Barry Manilow's "Looks Like We Made It" on a recent Friday?
A detour into '70s schmaltz can be forgiven, given that the station was celebrating having raised $600,000 from listeners to remain broadcasting for at least the next year. Mvyradio reached the sum on the 59th day of its 60-day "Save mvyradio" listener pledge drive, thanks in large part to its strong streaming presence, as the station was among the first to embrace the technology in the late '90s.
A close call, perhaps, but it looks like the station did make it.
Citing that the recession had damaged mvyradio's ability to be solvent, Aritaur Communications sold the station's 92.7 FM (WMVY) frequency, its terrestrial home since 1983, to Boston University's WBUR late last year. Still, while Vineyarders now hear NPR affiliate programming on the signal, mvyradio lives on as in Internet-only entity, having adopted a non-commercial, underwriting-based model now owned by the non-profit Friends of mvyradio. (It hopes to secure a new local FM frequency going forward; it does, however, remain on the FM dial in nearby Newport, R.I., via a translator at 96.5.) In addition to its daily programming, carrying over online is mvyradio's rich reservoir of artist interviews and performances, from those recorded in-studio, including John Mayer during an Island visit early in his career in 2001, to shows, such as the Newport Folk Festival, Merlefest and South by Southwest.
Mvyradio's makeover reflects the ingenuity needed for independently-owned radio stations to survive in an industry in which corporate ownership became the norm following the Telecommunications Act of 1996, which loosened the restrictions on the number of stations that chains could own.
In addition to mvyradio's successful fundraiser and segue to non-commercial broadcasting, stand-alone stations often emphasize a local touch that larger owners that employ out-of-market programming – and even air talent – can't match.
Folk singer Kate Taylor (sister of James, and longtime Martha's Vineyard resident) praises mvyradio after a recent concert in Scituate, Mass.
"The recession has surely been a challenge for every radio station, but as an independent station, when revenue dropped, we had fewer options to reduce costs," mvyradio PD PJ Finn (above, center) says. "The flip side is that we didn't employ cost-cutting measures that might've stripped the station of its individuality. We didn't have someone at a home office far away centralizing a playlist across several stations, for instance." Sure enough, mvyradio-exclusive programming like the Local Music Café, new music feature "What's New for Lunch" and "My Back Pages," which mixes socially-conscious rock from the '60s through today, remains on the station's new online home.
In the face of economic challenges, mvyradio's uniqueness has helped enable its salvation. "Folks who are here year-round depend on us for local news and public service. But, since we're in a seasonal, resort community, many people care about us because we've become a part of their vacation state of mind," Finn says. "They've come here in the summer and listened to us and then returned to where they live and listened online. They may be in Iowa, but when they hear us give the Steamship Authority report on the ferries, it puts them in a Vineyard state of mind.
"We will not change a thing, going forward, in this regard."
Some of those vacationers just happen to include U.S. Presidents, including Bill Clinton, whom the station opportunistically interviewed while he was on a Vineyard respite in the '90s. Shots of other notable faces dot the picture-packed bulletin board in mvyradio's lobby, including actor/Martha's Vineyard visitor Tony Shalhoub.
Still, it's everyday listeners with whom the station has forged its greatest bonds. And, that's not by accident. "Radio is very personal and intimate," says mvyradio director of worldwide programming Barbara Dacey, who's been shaping the station's sound since she began working there in 1985. "We hire air talent with an ability for openness; real people sharing their ideas on music and life.
"Most of us were relatively young when we arrived here and were able to be open to the process of learning how to really connect with good information and insights.
"If you do that day-in and day-out, people notice. That kind of connection builds up over 30 years."

Palace staying professional - Jones
Players and staff at Selhurst Park were informed after Saturday's game against Watford that they would be paid 10 days late, with boss Neil Warnock explaining chairman Simon Jordan has a "cash-flow problem". But Jones told the club's official website: "After all the controversy that has surrounded the club over the past few days with players wages, I stood with the gaffer and (coach) Keith Curle at the training ground and there was not a hint of a mention of it. "We were waiting for a cheeky comment or some frustrations but there was nothing. "Instead the players have shown us all that there is a terrific camaraderie around the club at the moment."

CM: Can you talk a little bit about the collaborative nature of this work? How has it drawn from each of your individual works, and has it affected that work in return? GMD/KP: In the past two years, we have increasingly been invited to do more site-specific work, letting us brainstorm together outside of our studio world. This allows us to come into a space without any preconceived ideas of what to make, solve problems together, and rely on the other's strengths. We work in a state of constant critique, not only telling each other yes and building from nothing, but also telling each other no, and what we don't want to see. The more pieces we began working on together, the more apparent it became that our skills and tendencies could be pushed to form something that neither of us could make alone. In our individual studio work, we both see how our collaboration has influenced the way we approach our own pieces. KP: I feel that I am able to develop and push what is truly mine, and take that to a new level. I have started to deal with form more, and crave sturdy objects as a place to hold my ornamentation. Even with my cut paper pieces, I now use the paper to build three-dimensional objects, rather than using it as an additional layer or a flat punch of color. GMD: I am dealing with color a lot more, which I have not dealt with much in the past. I have a different way of approaching pattern than Katie, but it has started to become something I want for my objects. |

Simple logic says that one of the best ways to avoid oil pan leaks is to make the pan gasket one piece. That's the philosophy behind Milodon's one-piece pan gaskets. In particular, they end leaks at the corners, where multi-piece gaskets often fall down on the job. They're molded in one continuous piece of rubber, with steel inserts around each bolt hole, so that the bolts can be securely tightened but not over-tightened. Because of this construction, these gaskets are reusable.

Officials warn of dangers on the thinning ice
While ice still covers most of Sunrise Lake in Middleton, the waterway is starting to open up near the dam and dark spots can be seen scattered along the snow cover. John Quinn/Union Leader |
That's the message from firefighters planning to conduct ice rescue training this week.
Rochester Fire Capt. Joe Burns said he hopes the training plunge into the Cocheco River will be the only time firefighters have to don cold water suits this year.
"We don't recommend anyone going out on the ice right now," Burns said.
Milton Fire Chief Nick Marique said parts of Milton Three Ponds are ice-free, especially along the Salmon Falls River.
"It's spring now, so it's not safe," Marique said.
Dover Fire Capt. Paul Haas said ice should be at least four inches thick for people to walk on it safely.
Lee Fire Capt. Scott Newett said firefighters are keeping a close eye on Wheelwright Pond, along Route 152, even though he hasn't seen anyone on the ice in the past week.
In the best of circumstances, Northwood Fire Lt. David Wakeman said it takes about a dozen firefighters to rescue a person who breaks through the ice. People sometimes get into trouble trying to rescue animals, he said.
"We go out for animals more often than people," Wakeman said.
While snowmobilers enjoy traversing Sunrise Lake in Middleton, dark spots are appearing in the ice, especially near the shoreline. John Quinn/Union Leader |
While ice still covers most of Sunrise Lake in Middleton, dark spots signal the end of winter spots and herald the start of boating, fishing and swimming in warmer weather. John Quinn/Union Leader |

I've been wanting a spot to put away blankets but still keep them handy. To me there is nothing better than enjoying a nice cup of cocoa cuddled up on some pillows and blankets, especially during a Midwest winter. That's when the light bulb went off and the idea of building a cute little ladder was born. Then, I decided if I was going to make this I was going to need to have a nice blanket to actually use. This is where Tiny Prints came to the rescue. Being newlyweds, I am going through that stage where I like customizing things that we can look back on for years to come and remember our first year of marriage. Yeah, I'm cheesy like that. You should know that by now. I mean, who wouldn't love a custom blanket honoring your new last name. I do! (See what I did there?) HA! Besides a blanket I also got some awesome pillows which now makes this corner my absolute favorite spot at our home.
To build the ladder, I used a set of wood panels I found at Home Depot that were 8 feet long. I asked the nice gentleman there to cut one of them in half to create two 4 feet pieces for my sides. Then asked for the other panel to be cut down to 14″ for the rungs. I ended up having left over wood since I used only 4 pieces. Using 2 screws on each side, on each rung, I fastened them to the long pieces. Once all screwed together, I sanded it down and stained it (with leftover stain from this project ) and that was it! The hard part was really waiting for the thing to dry so I could bring it inside HA! This is now my favorite spot in the house and the mister and I might have to take turns using it. Between the pillows and access to our new blanket ladder it's like the main place to be! What about you? Do you like customizing things? What is your favorite spot in your house? Will you build a ladder? Stay cozy my friends!

What should someone do when stuck at home on a cold day? Bake! It's that simple. Apparently my Californian car couldn't take the cold weather this week and it won't start. I was in the mood for some cake and this Lemon Poppy-seed cake recipe called my name and saved the day. The recipe calls for a whole pureed lemon. First time doing that, in the end this cake tasted pretty darn good. I'm also kind of obsessed with poppy-seeds lately. Not sure why, but I've been pinning recipes to use these like crazy HA! I guess I'm weird like that. Have you cooked with poppy-seeds? Happy baking friends!

I was in the mood for a savory late breakfast and this Greek Spinach Pie was the best thing I could've made. I mean, nothing can go wrong when using feta and cottage cheese. I've never worked with phyllo dough before, I was surprised at how easy it was. I ended up getting inspired by this recipe but totally skipped the freezing step, plus used fresh spinach instead HA! Sometimes you just gotta improvise. My greek spinach pie turned out delicious and I cannot wait to try out some more recipes using phyllo. Have you used phyllo dough before? What other savory pies do you recommend? Bon appetit!

Our very first concert in our new city (on one of the coldest nights this winter) was none other than Kacey Musgraves at the Orpheum. The venue was incredible. We've walked by it so many times, we were both pretty impressed on how big it was once inside. As we were waiting for the show to start, for a second I felt like we were back in L.A at the Wiltern HA! John & Jacob kicked off the night and from the minute they started playing I was hooked! Being an opener really means you gotta get the crowd pumped and excited for whoever is coming next, these guys did way more than that! They simply killed it. They played a trumpet in the middle of one of their songs and the crowd went nuts, me included! HA! I got to meet them after the show and they were the coolest. They told me they are headed to Stage Coach, I can totally see them blowin' up soon. Looking forward to seeing them live again. When Kacey took the stage the crowd was more than ready. I was told by one of my good friends that she was gonna be great live and to be honest she was more than great. She was just awesome! She sounded incredible, her band was on point, plus they did a ton of awesome covers. From Dolly Parton to TLC to Bob Marley. I mean, she totally rocked that stage. I am so happy we got a chance to see her live and had such a fun experience at our first concert in Madison… in one of the coldest nights of the year. Cannot wait to see her again sometime. She sung some of her new songs, all were amazing. I just cannot wait for her next album. What about you? Have you been to an awesome concert lately? What other venues do you recommend here in Madison? I just love a good show!

I was playing on my tablet in Photoshop after editing some pictures. A few minutes later these babies were born. I decided to print them out and had new art for the house within minutes. Some people have asked me what I use to write on my photos with and this is it! This Wacom Bamboo tablet has been my fave for years. It was a birthday gift from the mister a few years ago (best gift ever). I showed my watercolor prints to some friends, their reactions were nothing like I expected and after lots of talking they convinced to re-open my ETSY shop HA! Who would've thought? When I was editing these pictures, I realized one of the photos below features four DIYs I've done, isn't that crazy? (In case you are curious, these are the refinished dresser, secret jewelry box and the recycled cans) I guess I do live a DIY life HA! Oh, as always my furry assistant was my by side supervising during the shoot. He always has to be involved somehow. These watercolor prints, plus a few more are available in my Etsy shop for instant download. Say what? How awesome is that? This way you can print them out and hang them as you please! Love being able to share these with you guys. So what do you think?

I love Music and I love You too.
About this project
Hello! Im Lory:) I am a Navy Vet/Gypsy/Songbird. I have been writing songs since I can remember. And now I am ready to unleash upon you. First things first though, I must have original material recorded without auto-tune (BOOOOOO!) nor MIDI, then I will be wandering around in a van bringing my music to dive bars and other venues all across the country and hopefully even further.
So here's the deal- I am self-producing my first album and I need your help! I am working hard in the studio as we speak- this is my dream coming true. I have written all the lyrics and I have the melodies in my head (you can check out my demos on soundcloud) now its time to compose the music, arrange the music and record! I have found the best crew to work with! I have a very talented multi-instrumentalist/songwriter and a super amazing engineer behind me, and we are ready to go!
I was going to fund this project all by myself, but I am realizing that on my budget it will take me MUCH longer to finish if I do it that way. And I am ready to go now!
So here's where you come in- I have already recorded one song, Leonard, you can hear/download it on my soundcloud. It was 175$ to finish this song, now I need to complete at least 5-6 more which rounds out to about 1000$
I will then be distributing my music via digital distribution as well as limited edition Vinyl. Then its time to hit the road! Hope to see you soon;)
Have a question? If the info above doesn't help, you can ask the project creator directly.

Palatin Announces Commencement Of A Phase 1 Trial For Obesity Compound In Collaboration With AstraZeneca
CRANBURY, N.J., Aug. 4, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Palatin Technologies, Inc. (NYSE Amex: PTN) confirmed today the commencement of a Phase 1 clinical trial of AZD2820, a subcutaneously-administered peptide melanocortin receptor partial agonist, under development as a single-agent therapy for the treatment of obesity. AZD2820 is a clinical candidate selected by AstraZeneca from its collaborative research program with Palatin Technologies.
Obesity is a global problem, with the World Health Organization estimating that over 1.5 billion adults are overweight and over 500 million are obese. Worldwide obesity has more than doubled since 1980. A number of different metabolic and hormonal pathways are being evaluated by companies around the world in efforts to develop better treatments for obesity. Scientific research has established that melanocortin receptors have a role in eating behavior and energy homeostasis, and that some melanocortin receptor agonists decrease food intake and induce weight loss in animal studies.
The single center study is expected to enroll 90 subjects in a randomized, single-blind, placebo-controlled, Phase 1 trial in healthy male volunteers. For more information on this clinical trial with AZD2820, please visit www.clinicaltrials.gov .
"We are very pleased that AstraZeneca has initiated a Phase 1 clinical trial with a collaboration compound, demonstrating AstraZeneca's ongoing commitment and diligence in exploring melanocortin compounds for the treatment of obesity," said Dr. Carl Spana, President and Chief Executive Officer of Palatin.
Pursuant to the terms of the research collaboration and license agreement with AstraZeneca, Palatin is eligible for milestone payments upon achieving development and regulatory milestones and further payments on achievement of sales targets, in addition to royalties on sales of approved products. AstraZeneca has responsibility for product commercialization, product discovery and development costs. About the Collaboration Between AstraZeneca and Palatin Technologies In 2007, Palatin Technologies entered into an exclusive research collaboration and license agreement with AstraZeneca to discover, develop and commercialize compounds that target melanocortin receptors for the treatment of obesity, diabetes and related metabolic syndrome. Active development work by Palatin under the collaboration portion of the agreement concluded in January 2010. About Palatin Technologies, Inc. Palatin Technologies, Inc. is a biopharmaceutical company developing targeted, receptor- specific peptide therapeutics for the treatment of diseases with significant unmet medical need and commercial potential. Palatin's strategy is to develop products and then form marketing collaborations with industry leaders in order to maximize their commercial potential. For additional information regarding Palatin, please visit Palatin Technologies' website at www.palatin.com .

Jefferson County Zoning Petition (2008)
Not on Ballot |
This measure did not or will not appear on a ballot |
The Jefferson County Zoning Petition was an effort started in 2008 by a group of Jefferson County residents to put the county's new zoning ordinance up for a public vote through the veto referendum process.
Residents Ronda Lehman and Ed Burns collected more than 2,000 signatures on a petition requesting a public vote. They submitted the signatures to the Jefferson County Clerk's Office for verification.
As of June 2009, a vote had not been scheduled, although the ordinance has been held in abeyance.
Officials of the county have asked that the signatures on the petition be made available for public review.
Two lawsuits have been filed in Jefferson County Circuit Court. One lawsuit, filed on behalf of a local newspaper, the Shepherdstown Observer, asks for access to copies of the signed petitions.
Circulator Ronda Lehman says that the privacy of those who signed the petition should be protected.[1]

5 Ways College Prep and AP Classes Help High School Students Reach Academic, Career & Military Goals
By College Prep Expert- May 14, 2011For more information, visit www.CollegePrepExpert.com
You don't want to wake up ten years from now and think, "I hate my job. I wish I studied harder in high school. I could have gone further in life." According to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, you're right: you can go further. College prep classes help every student, no matter what they want to do for a living. Hard work in high school helps you for decades to come.
How College Prep Benefits Students
- College Prep Teaches Critical Thinking. You learn to solve problems, and that's important whether you go to college, the workforce, or the military.
- College Prep Makes You More Likely to Get Promoted. All that extra reading, pressure, and test taking make you a good candidate for supervisor. Companies like employees who can think on their feet and handle stressful situations – like the SATs, standardized tests, and chemistry finals.
- Get Better Military Jobs. There's no guarantee when it comes to the military (after all, it marches to the beat of its own drummer), but students who take tough AP and Honors classes have a better chance of landing high-tech and engineering jobs in the Armed Forces.
- Students Learn Their Strengths. Regular classes can teach you your strengths and weaknesses, but college prep courses magnify them. They force you to overcome your biggest problem areas.
- Surrounded by Ambition. Even if you're not interested in college, you'll be surrounded by students who are. Their ambition may rub off on you. College prep can make your more competitive, a quality you'll need to get ahead.
Turn College Prep Into Career Prep
It's fair to ask, "But I want to go into construction or be a chef. How can college prep help me?" What if you find you don't like that job and think college can help you get a better one? What if you start your own business but think you need a few college-level classes to run it right?
You need to prepare for the unexpected. What if you lose your job and decide to take advantage of government money to improve your education? You will quickly appreciate those AP courses you took in high school.
Planning for college now can help you no matter when you wind up going. And if you don't ever go to college, you may still find yourself happier with how far you've gotten in your career thanks to college prep.
Because done right, college prep is career prep, and you should be doing both.

Who does what?
This depends on how your practice is structured, says Debbie Allaben Gair, CVPM, owner of Bridging the Gap, Helping People Work Together More Effectively, in Sparta, Mich. There are three common types of managers in veterinary practices: When it comes to team members' pay, here's the ideal scenario: The practice manager and doctor-owner agree on a percentage of practice gross that's dedicated to employee pay. Then the manager carries out the owner's wishes through pay adjustments, benefits, and bonuses. Furthermore, the practice manager and owner have weekly meetings to discuss the progress of programs and the status of the practice, Gair says. For example, the manager tells the owner, "Here's where we are with employee pay in comparison to our goals." |
