Special Election Tomorrow
Special election tomorrow for La Crosse's state assembly seat. Democrat Jill Billings faces Republican DAve Drewes. Drewes is a fan of changes that governor Walker has pushed for in Wisconsin
Hearing Today on Bus Fare IncreasesA public hearing on proposed fee increases for La Crosse's public bus service today. The transit utility wants to boost all fares, senior citizens and disabled riders included. Proposed fare for a regular adult rider would be $1.50. A quarter higher than it is now, but still in line with fares in other like-sized Wisconsin cities. Eau Claire and Janesville are currently at a $1.50. Sheboygan's a little higher at $1.75 for regular bus fare. Other cities like Wausau and Fond du Lac are at $1.25. Oshkosh appears to be the lowest; bus ride there is still just a buck. Fare increase hearing is at 5:15 in city council chambers. Late Sessions Bring Out The Tempers In MadisonMembers of Wisconsin's Assembly might be sleeping in today. That's after back to back days of late nights and early mornings in the state capitol. And it was apparent that some were getting fiesty around 1:30 this morning. Democratic Minority Leader Peter Barca accused the GOP of ignoring the Assembly's tradition of not interrupting the other party's caucuses. After Republican Jeff Fitzgerald responded to Barca, someone in the audience then yelled an obscenity at Fitzgerald, and the speaker pro-tem had the gallery cleared.

Vinehout says she is keeping her ears and eyes open. Vinehout Asks Where The Jobs Bills AreLast week Senator Jennifer Shilling said she was all prepared to talk jobs in Madison. Nothing.

After all my research I will probably go with an OME 3" lift.
What is a good size wheel/tire combo for this lift? (backspace, offset, ect) I want to run mud terrain's, either toyo's or bfg's. I don't mind doing a little inner-fender trimming, just no major structural or body work.
I know this is a fairly common lift and tire size so I'm hoping to hear from lots of guys that have done something similar.
I have my eye on moto metal 960's or Mickey Thompson classic beadlocks. I want to stay with 16 or 17's if possible.

49ers, GM McCloughan part ways
Scot McCloughan is out as the general manager of the San Francisco
49ers in a 'mutual parting,' and director of player personnel Trent
Baalke will lead the team into next month's draft.
Team president Jed York, speaking Monday in a conference call
from the owners meetings in Orlando, said it's in the best interest
of both parties and called it a 'private personnel matter.' He
didn't elaborate on what went wrong for McCloughan, except to say
it had more to do with the GM's personal issues than anything on
the personnel, football side of things.

Running and Your Teeth
January 3, 2015
You must make sure that when you need dental care, you do some research first. Since there are a lot of options, you'll be much more happy if you take time to determine who the best dentist to work with would be. Work at this to save yourself time and money.
Always be sure that when you work with getting a dentist, you stick with those that you can be sure will work with the insurance you have. Sometimes you can find that you will get a lot of help from your dental insurance, or you may sometimes need to just get with a new company to help you with this because the one you currently have won't save you much money. The goal here it to make sure you are able to get with a service that's going to help you stay healthy while not costing you a ton of money.
Look around at the varying dentists you're able to work with through your insurance so you can tell whether or not they are going to be people you can be happy to work with. There is little reason to go to an office to get help that is full of employees you have no like for and can't be comfortable around if you can help it. You'll want to be very sure because when you aren't able to like someone, it can make for a difficult time at the dental office.
If you feel a lot of anxiety you will want to see if there are any ways to combat that. Some people find that they hate going to the dentist because they feel like it is too much for them to handle due to being nervous. If this is you, it will help to find medications or breathing exercises so you can take your mood and make it better during the dentist visit. You should never let your health get out of hand because of nervousness if you can find a way to get it under control for a while.
Any time you have a dental problem it's best to get it taken care of quickly. The longer you wait, the worse the problem will probably get. If you think about taking your time and how much more it costs for really bad problems, you'll realize that it is always a good plan to get things dealt with quickly. Plus, you don't want the problem to develop into something that causes you a lot of pain. That may make it to where you have to get emergency services to help you out and that can cost you far more than a simple procedure when the problem first appears.
Always work on getting routine checkups even if you don't think there is a problem with your teeth. While you may not notice anything going on in your mouth, you may find that there is something going on and it can be cared for quickly and without doing too many procedures. This can be very beneficial to you because if you are able to catch a cavity or anything early on, you won't have to worry about losing a tooth or anything too severe since most things are able to be cured easily these days.
You're now more in the know about Durham NC dentists so you can get the service you need. Saving money and getting great work done is what you can be sure to get help with now that you have this information. Be careful with this and you'll be very pleased with the results.
My Friends Running Career Was Cut Short Because Of This
January 1, 2015
Even though there are lots of options for STD testing Miami, many people don't take advantage of it. People simply don't know where they can go and what kind of opportunities they did. If they did, they might opt to get tested more regularly.
Thankfully, it's easier than ever to find out what your options were. There are several places that collect lists of facilities that offer free and affordable testing in the area. You can find the information you need and numbers to call with a few clicks of your mouse.
You can also find information about STD testing on social media. There are several Miami-centric groups that collect information about resources in the area, and you'll be able to find everything you need to know about STD testing. If the information you need isn't readily available, just ask, and someone will be able to provide you with it.
Some people may be uncomfortable for information about STD testing online. Thankfully, there are a number of other people they can ask. For example, many people find out where they can go to get STD testing by calling their doctor's office.
Others still obtain information from Planned Parenthood locations in the Miami area. Some facilities may even offer STD testing. All you have to do is call and say that you're looking for a testing referral. The staff there will be more than happy to point you in the right direction.
When you're looking at options, one of the things you may notice is that you'll often need to decide whether it's more important to you to have affordable testing or convenient testing. Many of the local services that offer testing for free or at a sliding scale only offer testing one or two days a week, and at very specific times.
In contrast, many of the more costly facilities have long hours, many locations, and are open five or more days a week. It's easy to get tested here as long as you can afford the price. You may wonder whether it's better to prioritize money or your time.
What you should keep in mind is that you'll only need to get tested once or twice a year. Even if it's not convenient, you won't have to do it regularly. Even if it's expensive, it won't be an ongoing cost. No matter what option you choose, it will be manageable.
In addition, the benefits that STD testing in Miami FL offers far outweigh the drawbacks. If you get your STD diagnosed right away, you may be able to avoid costly medical bills in the future. You'll also be able to avoid spreading STDs to your partners, which is extremely important.
There are all kinds of options for STD testing Miami; all you have to do is find them. If you take a look at what's out there, you're sure to find something that works for you. Don't wait! Take the steps you need to to become a sexually healthy person.
The Amazing Impact Phytoceramides Has Had on My Aging
December 10, 2014
If you are looking for a magical cream that will make you appear more youthful, look no further. As soon as you put phytoceramide cream on your face you're going to feel a difference.
It is important to look at the ingredients list on your phytoceramides supplements. There are variances here that will determine if this is the right cream for you. There are some that will contain Vitamin C or Vitamin E and others that will not. If you are allergic to any ingredient in the ingredients list, avoid that specific brand of phytoceramides.
You can see all kinds of informercials on phytoceramides that tell you to buy this brand or that brand. But, when it boils down to it you can go to any drug store and find a variety of brands. The pricing will vary greatly and you'll be left wondering which product to buy for your best benefit.
Here's the trick, if you read the ingredients list and find that you are allergic to a specific item in the list, eliminate that particular product. Now you should be left with a few other products to evaluate. In most cases you can rely upon the store brand that has the same ingredients as the name brand.
Try it and see how it works for you. If you don't like your results, go with the name brand next time and see how you like those results. It's kind of a matter of trail and error.
What works well for one person may not be the right product for another. You can read all of the scientific research on phytoceramides and see that they are believed to work by regenerating the cell structure of your skin.
Not only on the face, but on your entire body. That said, if you're in and out of the water you may need to reapply the product after bathing, swimming or a sauna.
Since this is a topical product you're going to have to reapply it at least once per day. Many people elect to use it morning and night and call it good and that is fine as well. Other choose to use it only once per day or a few times pre week. The bottom line is this, use it when you feel the need. You'll see results in a matter of only a few applications and begin to feel and look more youthful.
A Friend Told Me About An Amazing Jump Program
December 8, 2014
If you enjoy playing sports like basketball, but find that your vertical jumps are a bit small then you should consider using the Jump Manual by Jacob Hiller. This program offers you the information you need to train your body to achieve explosive vertical jumps when you need them. Before you buy any product you should know what the program is, what you get for your money and if this is right for you.
What Is The Jump Manual
While the name may suggest that this is a manual which tells you about vertical jumps this is actually a much larger program. The Jump Manual is a fairly comprehensive training program that instructs you on how to improve you vertical jump ability. Unlike some other similar products it does not focus only on improving your lower body. The Jacob Hiller Jump Manual also offers advice on proper nutrition, jump techniques as well as training techniques and methods.
What You Get With The Program
The program offers you 6 different things that you need to consider. The first is an ebook with all the instructions and information that you need to complete the training program. You will also receive access to a video library which has training and exercise videos. This is a very good aspect of the program as many people need the visual help when completing exercises.
The program also comes with lifetime access to the Elite Jumpers forum. You can also make use of the 30 days of unlimited email consultations with Jacob, the creator of the Jump Manual, and you have the ability to buy more consultations after this. The Jump Manual comes with a 60 day money back guarantee.
There are also 2 bonus materials that you can get with the program. The first is an interview with Dave Hopla, the NBA shooting coach. The second is an interview with Dr Patrick Cohn, a psychologist specializing in peak performance.
It This Right For You?
If you are looking for an advanced jump training manual then this is not the right product for you. However, if you are looking for a basic program that can help you achieve the vertical jumps you want then you should consider this program. There are a number of areas covered in this program that gives you a better understanding of how you can achieve the jumps that you want.
The Jump Manual is more than an ebook and is considered to be a good basic program to get the vertical jumps that you want. There are a lot of parts to the product and some of them will help you more than others. There is also the option of having further conversations with Jacob via email after your 30 days have run out.
Creatine For Running?
November 11, 2014
Creatine is a bodybuilding supplement which has been heavily used for the past years. It has been proven that creatine is a great supplement to take for bodybuilders and gym goers alike. However, it is known that creatine comes in various degrees of quality and effectiveness. There is also a chance of receiving a very dangerous product which is masked as creatine when buying off the market. To ensure that you get the best creatine on the market, make sure to follow the guidelines which are outlined in this article.
The most important thing to look for when purchasing creatine is to look at its ingredients. Many creatine products will contain other substances which can be potentially dangerous when consumed, as the FDA does not regulate bodybuilding supplements. Creatine does not need to be mixed with other chemicals to be effective, so make sure that the ingredients only include creatine, and perhaps other common and safe ingredients such as sugar. If you notice that there is a chemical you have never heard of, it is wise to not choose this creatine product.
Make sure that you research where the creatine is manufactured in, as this can have a very large effect on how trustworthy and effective the product will be. One of the most important rules when it comes to choosing a bodybuilding supplement is to never, ever, choose a product which is manufactured in China. Creatine that comes from China has been known to either not even be creatine or be of such a low quality that it is ineffective in causing improvement. China is known to produce very low quality products, you certainly do not want to have something which will be introduced into the body on a regular basis from the country.
The best location that creatine is manufactured in would be anywhere inside your country. However, it's known that creatine is best when it is manufactured in Germany. Either way, when looking for which products you should look into when determining which creatine is best on the market, make sure that it is either manufactured in your own country or manufactured in Germany.
Look into reviews when determining what best creatine product will be best for you. Once you have used the guidelines above, and have found a few creatine products that match the criteria, look into the reviews the products have gathered. Always buy products which have at least a four star rating. Make sure that there are many different reviews and that they do not seem fake. Really look into the reviews to get a good idea of the positives and the negatives of the product.
In addition, do some background research to see whether the company manufacturing the creatine product is trustworthy or not. Always buy from a company that has been around for a few years and is well established.
By following the criteria which is laid out in this article, you will be able to choose the best creatine product on the market.

IMO anyone carrying a firearm cocked with the safety disengaged is asking for severe trouble, just my opinion.
Four Rugers, three SIG Sauers; my SP101 3-1/16" .357 is shown in my avatar. I like reliability.
None of the above. My DA/SA SIGs have no manual safeties for me to engage or disengage. Your poll choices do not come anywhere near covering most modern DA/SA systems.
If you are referring to passive safeties, well, my SIGs' passive safeties are always engaged, unless the trigger is pulled.

There are several potential treatment options for brain AVM. Your doctor will determine the most appropriate treatment for your condition, depending on the size and location of the abnormal blood vessels.
Medications may also be used to treat related symptoms, such as headaches or seizures.
Other treatments may include:
Surgical removal (resection). Surgical treatment of a small brain AVM is relatively safe and effective. In this procedure, your neurosurgeon removes part of your skull temporarily to gain access to the AVM.
Your neurosurgeon, aided by a high-powered microscope, seals off the AVM with special clips and carefully removes it from surrounding brain tissue. Your surgeon then reattaches the skull bone, and closes the incision in your scalp.
Resection is usually done when the AVM can be removed with little risk of hemorrhage or seizures. AVMs that are in deep brain regions carry a higher risk of complications. In these cases, your doctor may recommend other treatments.
Endovascular embolization. In this procedure, your doctor inserts a long, thin tube (catheter) into a leg artery and threads it through blood vessels to your brain using X-ray imaging.
Your surgeon positions the catheter in one of the feeding arteries to the AVM, and injects small particles of a glue-like substance to block the artery and reduce blood flow into the AVM.
Endovascular embolization may be performed before other treatments to reduce the size of the AVM, before surgery to reduce the chance of bleeding during the procedure or alone as a treatment. In some large brain AVMs, endovascular embolization may reduce stroke-like symptoms by redirecting blood back to normal brain tissue.
Stereotactic radiosurgery. This treatment uses precisely focused radiation to destroy the AVM. The radiation causes the AVM vessels to slowly clot off in one to three years following the treatment.
This treatment is most appropriate for small AVMs and for those that haven't caused a life-threatening hemorrhage.
If you have few or no symptoms or if your AVM is in an area of your brain that's hard to treat, your doctor may prefer to monitor your condition with regular checkups.

The iliac artery is a very important artery for blood flow to the legs. The human heart uses this iliac artery as a direct lane down to your legs. This blood is important to keeping your legs working properly. Oxygen, energy and various other life giving compounds are in that blood. The blood is also a major part of your immune system.
Iliac artery angioplasty is sometimes used to keep blood flowing to the legs. In angioplasty a balloon is inserted into an artery that is clogged partially or completely. The balloon is then inflated to open the artery up. This is used to start blood flow again. After the balloon opens the clog, a stint is put in to keep the area pried open.
Many heart stints go up through the leg through this area. This is a procedure that has saved thousands of lives.

No-cook Cheesecakes with Caramelised Rhubarb
Without doubt this is one of the easiest ways to produce some brilliant cheesecakes without any of the whisking or cooking and so on. You will have to partly freeze them to firm them up, but even that's better than all the fiddle.
Serves 4
Ingredients |
450g curd cheese (Waitrose, Sainsbury's or from deli counters) |
4 good-quality stem ginger cookies |
1 heaped tablespoon golden caster sugar |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (Ndali Fairtrade vanilla extract) |
For the caramelised rhubarb: |
450g ready-prepared fresh rhubarb, cut into small chunks |
2 rounded tablespoons unrefined demerara sugar |
Oven temperatures and Conversions |
Click here for information |
Equipment |
4 ramekins each with a diameter of 7.5cm |
Delia's How to Cheat at Cooking
The most essential ingredient here comes in the shape of 4 ramekins, each with
a diameter of 7.5cm.
All you do is pop a cookie into each one and, if it seems fractionally too big, trim it round the edges and place the spare crumbs on top.
Now combine the curd cheese, sugar and vanilla in a bowl, then spoon the mixture into the ramekins, cover each one with clingfilm and freeze for 45 minutes.
Meanwhile, pre-heat the grill to its highest setting for 10 minutes, line a grill pan with foil, scatter the chunks of rhubarb over it and sprinkle with the sugar. Grill the rhubarb about 10cm from the heat source for 10-15 minutes, turning once, until cooked through and caramelised.
To serve, slide a small palette knife all round the edge of each ramekin, turn out on to serving plates, invert, then spoon the rhubarb on top. The cheesecakes will still be slightly frozen but that's how they should be.
You can make these up to 8 hours ahead. If you do this, leave them in the fridge then freeze them for 45
minutes before serving.

It's just convenience utilities on top of GL which makes developing GL applications easier (apparently). There are a couple free implementations available: Mesa's GLUT with the troublesome license, or FreeGLUT, which was started to address this license problem (I think). -- Dan

Fifty years ago, I was taught in my history classes that the key to the success of our democracy was the ability of opposing politicians to reach decisions through compromise.
Those calling out "Don't tread on me" have apparently forgotten the other Revolutionary War slogan, "United we stand or divided we fall." The art of compromise is being abandoned for a political strategy that can only win by gaining control of all branches of government. Under this strategy little to nothing gets done with the divided government in Olympia or Washington, D.C.
We just witnessed this with the Columbia River Crossing. It makes me think of another Revolutionary War slogan: "Either we hang together, or we will hang apart."

So, write a simple wiki that will format /^#/ lines (paragraphs, headings, links) and show rest as source code. Every page can be downloaded as a plain text. It may be dangerous. If it's truly open wiki, one can insert malicious commands right in the middle and someone may not notice and install such system. Plus, you have to store patches somewhere. If it's the wiki again (and it should be there) someone can modify kernel or glibc patches, which are generally not read by anyone. So... you need to limit write access to trusted people. But the advantages are too tempting.

Insights On Testing And Treatment Of Ischemic Wounds
Issue Number:
He says a transducer measures the subtle pressure changes that occur with each pulse wave and a computer chip translates the information into easily readable tracings. "This printout provides useful information about the hemodynamic significance of atherosclerotic disease," emphasizes Dr. Stillman. "Extremely blunted distal tracings suggest likely wound healing problems unless revascularization can be accomplished." Q: How has the role of the "long leg distal bypass" changed your prognosis of these wounds? A: In situ bypass is a sophisticated technique for arterializing the greater saphenous vein, notes Dr. Stillman. He says the vein remains in its anatomical position but is anastomosed proximally to the common femoral artery and distally to a runoff vessel such as the posterior tibial, anterior tibial or peroneal artery. Since leg veins have valves to prevent flow in the caudad direction, Dr. Stillman notes the vascular surgeon would destroy the valves with a valvulotome and then ligate the vein branches in order to avoid arteriovenous fistulas. While he calls it "an arduous and technically challenging operation," Dr. Stillman says a successful in situ bypass has a respectable long-term patency rate and a well-deserved reputation for limb salvage, often despite extensive arterial disease. Q: What role does angioplasty/ stenting play in the infrapopliteal occlusive lesion in the diabetic foot? A: Dr. Stillman says short segment stenotic and occlusive disease responds well to endovascular managememt such as angioplasty or stenting. Stenting is particularly effective in larger vessels such as the iliac arteries, notes Dr. Stillman. He adds that the infrainguinal segment and particularly the infrapopliteal segment carry a higher restenosis rate after endovascular reconstruction. As the technology advances, Dr. Stillman says one can look for improving patency rates. He also emphasizes that even a short-term boost in arterial flow can be "a limb- and life-saver for a surgically high-risk patient with a non-healing, ischemic foot wound." Q: What is your approach in managing ischemic wounds? A: Dr. Karlock says you should avoid aggressive debridement in a potentially ischemic wound. "This just adds insult to injury," notes Dr. Karlock. When it comes to noninfected, stable ischemic wounds, he suggests keeping them dry until appropriate revascularization techniques are carried out. Dr. Karlock says he would avoid using any enzymatic debriding agents in this situation. Dr. Beylin notes that he does employ enzymatic-type agents such as Panafil and Accuzyme on necrotic wounds. Q: What are your thoughts on the timing of a foot amputation after bypass surgery? A: Amputation for infected gangrene should precede bypass surgery by about 10 days, notes Dr. Stillman, who adds that doing so allows the clearing of bacterial seeding from the lymphatic channels that one would encounter during the bypass. On the other hand, he says one may treat dry gangrenous toes or clean, non-healing ulcers before or after vascular reconstruction. Within five to seven days, it becomes more or less clear whether a vascular bypass has been successful, according to Dr. Beylin. Dr. Stillman says waiting until the bypass has been accomplished facilitates a more accurate assessment of local perfusion and the amputation level. Occasionally, he notes vascular surgeons will excise a clean foot ulcer or amputate a dry gangrenous toe concurrently with the bypass, but they would always use an isolated operative field and separate instruments to do so. Dr. Beylin is a staff physician at the Northwest Medical Center in Margate, Fla., and is an attending physician at the hospital's Wound Healing Center. He is board-qualified in foot and reconstructive rearfoot and ankle surgery by the American Board of Podiatric Surgery. Dr. Stillman is the Medical Director of the Wound Healing Center and a member of the Board of Trustees of the Northwest Medical Center in Margate, Fla. He has published over 100 research papers and textbook chapters, and has authored or edited a half-dozen surgical textbooks. Dr. Karlock (pictured) is a Fellow of the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons and practices in Austintown, Ohio. He is a member of the Editorial Advisory Board for WOUNDS, a Compendium of Clinical Research and Practice.

So, I'm not exactly a beginner.. I've brewed 4 extract kits from Brewer's Best previously and they've all turned out excellent! Tonight I was transferring my 5th brew, a Kolsch kit, from my secondary to my bottling bucket and gave it a quick taste test as I usually do. I nearly fell over, it was so aweful!!! It had a slight "bread" smell to it and a really pungent taste, I don't know how else to describe it. I did everything the same as I had previously, sanitized everything.. It fermented just fine.. but I did also notice it didn't smell "quite right" when I transferred it from my primary to secondary about 1.5 wks ago. So, I'm really bummed.. any idea what happened??
Can you describe the taste more? What was your process? The more info you can give, the more answers we can give.
You didn't use bread yeast did you?
sulfury, perhaps?
Bottle it and see what happens
I would really think about bottling it. Kolsch yeast can throw some funky flavors. It might not have been a bad idea to leave it in the primary for 3 or 4 weeks, many in here don't bother to secondary unless dry hopping or adding fruit.

It's not easy being green
If you have been hoarding polystyrene in your basement waiting to make a gift of it for reuse, the Pennsylvania Resources Council will be collecting that and other hard-to-recycle items on Saturday.
It will be the first of four 2013 hard-to-recycle collections, but you have to drive to the Galleria at Pittsburgh Mills — from 9a to 1p in the parking lot. For most people, that's going way out of your way to be green.
Other items you can drop off at no cost are computers, printers, monitors, fax machines, laptops and televisions, cell phones, printer/toner cartridges and compact flourescent lights.
"This year PRC is excited to partner with NOVA Chemicals and Appliance Warehouse to collect polystyrene packaging material," said PRC's regional director Dave Mazza. "This hard, white molded packaging material is often used to protect consumer electronics and household appliances during shipping."
That material can be recycled to make clothes hangers, insulation, decorative moldings and picture frames, he said.
Individuals will pay a nominal fee to drop off batteries, fluorescent tubes, small Freon appliances and paper for shredding. For a detailed list of items accepted and the price structure, visit this site or call PRC at 412-488-7490, ext. 236.

Life Is Good Co-founders And CEO Of Sovereign Bank Spread Optimism, Hope And Inspiration At Bentley University's Commencement Ceremonies
ABOUT THE SPEAKERS Bert and John Jacobs Bert and John Jacobs are co-founders and Chief Executive Optimist and Chief Creative Optimist, respectively, of The Life is good Company. Jake, Life is good's iconic hero with the contagious smile, teaches men, women and kids that optimism is fun, healthy, and empowering.
In 1989 the Jacobs brothers designed their first T-shirts. They began selling their designs on the streets of Boston out of an old van at colleges and fairs along the East Coast of the United States. In 1994, following a not-so-successful road trip and a combined sum of just $78 in the bank, they returned to Boston, unsure of the future of their business. After gathering friends at their apartment to share stories and ask for comments on their new drawings and sayings, one image received considerable favorable attention: the beret-wearing, smiling stick figure and the phrase "Life is good." The brothers named the character Jake and printed up 48 shirts. At a street fair in Cambridge, Massachusetts, the shirts sold out in less than an hour. They began to sell shirts and hats featuring Jake in local stores and the demand for the merchandise grew quickly, as did national recognition of the brand.
Life is good expanded its product lines from T-shirts and caps into a lifestyle brand that features optimistic apparel and accessories focused on positive messages and emphasizing simplicity, humor and humility. Today, Life is good products are sold by over 3,500 retailers nationwide, 6 company-owned stores and on lifeisgood.com . The innovative company focuses on forging meaningful, emotional connections, and relies heavily on its community of Optimists to help spread the power of optimism.
Life is good also holds an annual two-day celebration of music and optimism, The Life is good Festival, which raises money for kids in need. The Festival features three stages of nationally-known musical talent, hands-on games and interactive arts activities. More importantly, the Festival is a one-of-a-kind fundraiser for The Life is good Kids Foundation and creates a community of fundraisers. The Life is good Kids Foundation receives 100 percent of the funds raised at the Life is good Festival.
After graduating from Villanova University in 1987 with a degree in Communications, Bert worked as a ski instructor, pizza delivery man, and substitute teacher. John graduated from the University of Massachusetts in 1990 with dual degrees in English and Art. He began designing and selling T-shirts after college and also worked as a substitute teacher to supplement his income during Life is good's infancy. Bert and John are the youngest of six siblings from Needham, Massachusetts and they credit their mother with teaching them to face the bumps in the road with a smile. The Jacobs brothers see simplicity, humility and a sense of humor as the three keys to Life is good's continued success. Jorge Moran Jorge Moran has been Santander's US country head since February 2011 and president and chief executive officer of Sovereign Bank since December 2010. He joined Santander Group in 2002 as head of Asset Management. He has also served as head of Santander's Global Asset Management and Insurance Division, as senior executive vice president and head of the Global Insurance Division at Banco Santander, S.A., and as chief operating officer of Santander UK plc. Before joining Santander, Moran was chief executive officer of Morgan Stanley for Spain and Portugal, and a partner of AB Asesores, a brokerage and asset management company.

STOCKS TO BUY: TheStreet Quant Ratings has identified a handful of stocks that can potentially TRIPLE in the next 12 months. Learn more. TheStreet Ratings team rates SEADRILL LTD as a Buy with a ratings score of B. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation: "We rate SEADRILL LTD (SDRL) a BUY. This is driven by a few notable strengths, which we believe should have a greater impact than any weaknesses, and should give investors a better performance opportunity than most stocks we cover. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its compelling growth in net income, notable return on equity, good cash flow from operations, expanding profit margins and impressive record of earnings per share growth. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had generally high debt management risk by most measures that we evaluated." Highlights from the analysis by TheStreet Ratings Team goes as follows:- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has significantly exceeded that of the S&P 500 and the Energy Equipment & Services industry. The net income increased by 650.1% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, rising from $409.00 million to $3,068.00 million.
- The company's current return on equity greatly increased when compared to its ROE from the same quarter one year prior. This is a signal of significant strength within the corporation. Compared to other companies in the Energy Equipment & Services industry and the overall market, SEADRILL LTD's return on equity significantly exceeds that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.
- Net operating cash flow has significantly increased by 55.08% to $656.00 million when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, SEADRILL LTD has also modestly surpassed the industry average cash flow growth rate of 49.39%.
- The gross profit margin for SEADRILL LTD is rather high; currently it is at 57.08%. Regardless of SDRL's high profit margin, it has managed to decrease from the same period last year. Despite the mixed results of the gross profit margin, SDRL's net profit margin of 251.26% significantly outperformed against the industry.
- SEADRILL LTD reported significant earnings per share improvement in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. The company has demonstrated a pattern of positive earnings per share growth over the past two years. However, we anticipate underperformance relative to this pattern in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, SEADRILL LTD increased its bottom line by earning $5.47 versus $2.32 in the prior year. For the next year, the market is expecting a contraction of 45.1% in earnings ($3.00 versus $5.47).

New information is out of Darfur today. A warrant was issued for Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir. He's charged with killing hundreds of thousands of people in Darfur. Our David D'Aquin is tracking this story and caught up with a Baton Rouge professor who was born and raised in Darfur.
Dr. Mahmoud Braima grew up in Darfur. When he was growing up democracy ruled, he went to college, then started working in the United States. "The political climate changed so much that to me it would have been unsafe to return there because I don't agree with the ideology of this government."
Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir is charged with crimes against humanity, murder, and war crimes. Over the last six years, at least 300,000 people have been killed and another 2.7 million people have run away.
Braima has family members who are still in Sudan, "Have been harassed a lot. Have been in jail. Have been probably tortured." Braima is relieved there's an arrest warrant out for al-Bashir, but says there won't be any quick benefits.
If al-Bashir travels outside Sudan, he'll be arrested and Braima says that'll help the people in Darfur. People he says have been victims of horrific acts. Braima says women and children have been raped and tortured. "They take corpses of humans and throw them in the wells so that they can poison the water and make it harder for people to survive in these areas."
Multiple aid organizations have helped the people in Darfur, but after warrants were issued for the Sudanese President this morning, all the aid workers have been told to leave. Sudanese officials have ordered all foreign aid workers out of Darfur and have said Western countries just want control of their oil.

8 Stocks Rising on Unusual Volume
BroadVision (BVSN - Get Report)
This company is a provider of electronic e-commerce business solutions. The stock is trading up 17.7% at $20.68 in recent trading.
Today's Volume: 559,000 Average Volume: 66,552 Volume % Change: 1616% From a technical standpoint, BVSN is gapping up big today on monster volume above some past overhead resistance at $18. At last check, BVSN is pulling back big off its daily high of $23. This stock has clearly entered overbought territory since its relative strength index (RSI) reading is currently 83. Any reading over 70 is considered overbought on any stock. If BVSN closes well off $23 and near its daily lows, then I would look to short this stock. One could get more aggressive with any short sales if it trades below $19 with volume.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

'Occupy Wall Street': If protesters don't list demands, will they get anything?
With new recruits emerging daily and union members joining marches, 'Occupy Wall Street' is experiencing growing pains. Should it prioritize goals? Should it forge alliances?
Bebeto Matthews/AP
Los Angeles
On the eve of a huge solidarity rally planned Thursday for Freedom Plaza in Washington, and with new recruits emerging daily across the nation, the emphatically diverse "Occupy" protest movement is already facing a Shakespearean-level dilemma: To be or not to be specific about its demands.
If it refuses to spell out actionable agendas, will it get anything at all? Ay, there's the rub.
"Occupy Wall Street" has listed virtually every progressive concern of the early 21st century in its current manifesto – from environmental degradation and corporate greed to animal rights and gender, race, and age equality, as well as collective bargaining rights. Now a new item has emerged, listing access to higher education as a basic human right, perhaps not surprising considering the youthful face of the movement.
Such idealism is all well and good for a protest moment, but not enough for a genuine movement, says Professor Ted Morgan of Lehigh University in Pennsylvania, author of "What Really Happened to the 1960s: How Mass Media Failed American Democracy."
"For this to move from a colorful, attention-grabbing protest, they are going to have to reach into communities, connect with workplaces, churches, schools," he says. "That's how you build organizations that create change.

When first published in 1962, Sarah Patton Boyle's narrative of personal growth and change was highly praised and quickly sold more than sixty thousand copies, though few of them in the South. In it we witness Boyle's journey from sedate Virginia housewife to civil rights activist via an often naive, but ultimately courageous path.
Catalyst for Boyle's conversion was African American attorney Gregory Swanson's successful suit for admission to the University of Virginia Law School in 1950. Boyle wrote Swanson a friendly note of welcome—and prided herself on addressing him as "Mr." Her awkward efforts to help led her to T. J. Sellers, editor of Charlottesville's black newspaper, The Tribune, and to what they came to call "The T. J. Sellers Course for Backward Southern Whites." It was the beginning of a remarkable friendship which is traced in their correspondence, selections from which are published here for the firt time.
Although she could not have imagined it when she wrote that note to Gregory Swanson, by 1962 Sarah Patton Boyle had become the most outspoken white integrationist in Virginia. In addition to writing, speaking, and organizing for the NAACP and other groups, she gained national attention when an article she had originally titled "We're Readier Than We Think" appeared in the Saturday Evening Post under the inflammatory title "Southerners Will Like Integration." A wave of hostile reactions from across the country included crosses burned on her lawn.
This reprinting of The Desegregated Heart, long out of print, adds significantly to the new work that attempts to unravel massive resistance. For all who seek to understand the civil rights movement in this country, it recaptures the contribution of not one but two people who proved themselves part of the very backbone of a new racially progressive South that is still in the making.

Chapter One
Intangible Assets
I was born into a society which in most places outside the South is smilingly and in quotes referred to as the "Southern aristocracy." Within the South, however, the quotes are almost everywhere absent and the smile, if present, is one of tender, sometimes reverent pride. We believe that our aristocracy is second to none in its inbred knowledge of gracious living, its high purpose in human relations, and its awareness of the true values which lend worth, lovability, and dignity to man. On such an assumption was I reared.
I was taught that my father was a great man. In one larger and one smaller sense I think he was. The larger is summarized in the first sentence of a resolution adopted by the General Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church, October 1940, following the announcement of his retirement: "Robert Williams Patton, Doctor of Divinity; son of Virginia, citizen of the world; priest of God, servant of man."
Besides this, in his own small world of the Church he certainly was one of the tall figures of his day. The resolution listed an array of achievements in the national Church. More important to this story is the fact that he instilled in me a conviction that the only thing which really matters in anyone's life is a consistent choice of right over wrong.
It seemed natural to me that he was a great man, for I was assured by my mother and grandmother that all our ancestors were great. In slightly lowered tones they said that our family was the best in Virginia. I knew this meant itwasthe best in the world.
I suspect I wasn't alone among young Southerners in receiving this low-voiced instruction. When junior members of First Families of Virginia got together, there was often a look of conscious kindness on all faces as each dutifully praised the families of the others and carefully ignored his own.
I was told that I was descended from governors, generals, presidents, kings. Instead of fairy stories I was told how my great-great-great-grandfather rode into battle brandishing his sword and shouting, "General Hugh Mercer never surrenders!" Also, how my great-grandfather was called by Daniel Webster "the greatest legal mind of his time" and later became governor of Virginia. (Actually, he was acting governor for I forget how many months.) I was told how one of my grandfathers, a colonel under Stonewall Jackson, "led the Stonewall Brigade" in some famous charge in which his brother—who was the grandfather of George S. (Old Blood-and-Guts) Patton—was killed. I was told how my other grandfather, Franklin Stringfellow, who was General Stuart's aide and his and General Lee's personal scout, had in his possession letters from Stuart, Lee, and Jefferson Davis showing that they thought him the most valuable scout in the South.
This grandfather lived until I was seven. He told me exciting tales of being captured repeatedly and condemned to be shot at sunrise (although he firmly referred to himself as a "scout," never as a spy). He escaped miraculously so often that he was convinced that he was being spared for a Purpose. So he became a minister after The War. (When I was growing up "The War" always meant the Civil War.)
He married a beautiful Dresden-china girl, four feet eleven inches tall, who singlehandedly prevented the escape of a jail full of Yankees, simply by standing guard at the hole they made in the prison wall and refusing to let them crawl out until help came. This she did with pure moral force (plus sex appeal, no doubt), having no weapon of any kind.
She and my grandfather were married under the lovely crystal chandelier in the dining room of the Carlisle House in Alexandria, Virginia, where she had been raised, and where, later, my mother was born. This house became one of the showplaces of Virginia, and having its grandeur and glamorous past reviewed for me by a professional guide, after hearing my mother and grandmother tell stories about their life there, was one of the romantically satisfying experiences of my childhood.
All this emphasis on background inevitably bred in me a loathsome sense of social superiority. But it also gave me a feeling of roots reaching far back—and far forward—into history. I was taught to think of myself as a part of the very backbone of Virginia, which was the backbone of the South, which was the backbone of the nation, which was the backbone of the world. In the years ahead, when Southern editorial pages not infrequently demanded that I leave the South, I was grateful for the indoctrination that my roots were strong and deep.
Being a sensible girl, I received with a grain of salt the information that our family was the best in Virginia. I said to myself, "That's probably an exaggeration. Probably it's only one of the two or three best."
But this—shall we call it "social security"?—was partially redeemed by the fact that real values were entangled in it. Being "the best" carried with it heavy obligations: You owed a great debt to everybody else. If you had "the background to set a standard, you must do it," I was taught. "You must be more courteous, gracious, courageous, honorable, and dependable than others or you forfeit the right to be on top."
The entwinement of snobbery and high principle served to support both. The noblesse oblige made it possible to maintain snobbery with a fairly clear conscience, while the ego-satisfaction of snobbery lent a kind of animal good spirits to the grueling task of keeping aloft the standard you were directed to carry.
Incidentally, in the South of my childhood, the phrase "to be on top" didn't have the financial implications it often has today. One's inheritance was entirely of intangible assets. Those "on top" were supposed to have inherited culture, character, principles, possibly—though not necessarily —intelligence, and almost certainly debts.
In fact, most Southerners of my parents' era were raised to feel that it wasn't respectable to be rich. We felt that all patriotic Southerners had lost everything in defense of the South, and sufficient time hadn't elapsed for respectable rebuilding of financial security in a war-impoverished region. If you had money you were assumed to be one of three things: a person who had failed (or whose family had failed) to give everything to the cause of freedom when the South was desperate; or a person who had somehow turned the general desperation of your region to your own profit since The War; or else—Heaven forgive you!—you were a Yankee.
With the memory of large past riches, the Southerner who was "on top" felt only contempt for those who couldn't share his honorable poverty. "The best people" wore poverty with lighthearted pride. Like the hero of Stephen Crane's The Red Badge of Courage, who rejoiced in the wound that proved him not a coward, we found gladness in our evidence that we had lost everything for the South.
"The Southern Cause" was of course presented to me stripped of all ignobility. We had "fought The War to preserve our freedom from Yankee oppression, to defend our honor against Yankee insult, and to preserve a noble, gracious and warmhearted way of life unprecedented in history."
My family had an additional source of pride in poverty. As field secretary for the national Church my father received a salary which, while modest, was larger than usual for clergymen of his day; and while we still would have been poor enough for respectability, we would have been moderately comfortable but for two things. First, at my grandfather's death my father had voluntarily assumed debts which he wasn't legally required to assume. And, second, having failed to persuade the Church to vote him sufficient funds to carry out one of the important projects for which he was responsible, he had borrowed on his insurance and mortgaged his property to the hilt in order to do the job right.
He spent his entire life discharging these debts. But when my mother reminded my sister and me that it was because of this that we couldn't do or have the things we longed for, the lilt of pride and satisfaction in her voice made us not mind sacrifices. Her tone said that, since we were the kind of people who always put first things first, we had to do without these lesser material items. So great was the family emphasis on the unquestionable rightness of these choices that, even with many girlhood desires thwarted, I can't recall ever wishing that my father had chosen other than he did.
We were spared, I hope, the worst features of personal pride in this moral achievement by stretching it to include the whole region and assuming that this was the kind of thing that Southerners naturally did. But our regional pride was horrifying.
Of course I was by no means unusual in believing that among all the nations of the world the South shone forth. I recall a popular song which said, "They made it twice as nice as paradise, and they called it Dixieland." We believed that, fervently and deeply. This dogma was the true religion of many of us, whether or not we called ourselves Christians. The South and what we thought of her, her ideals and her people, were more precious to us than anything we learned in church.
We thought our beliefs about her could be reached by pure reason. We would gravely point out that Virginia was settled originally by "the best class of people—younger sons of the nobility, mostly—from England and Scotland." Some of these had drifted south—never north!—with a majority staying in Virginia. This was the reason Virginia was the Mother of Presidents and why most of the nation's greatest statesmen came from the South.
Then, too, an abundance of slaves had granted Southern people leisure to accumulate culture, charm, and human understanding.
The gentle climate may have contributed something. Perhaps it was the grim weather nearly as much as heredity which made Yankees so brash and tense, so chilly-hearted and suspicious of their fellow man.
Yet the facts of breeding mustn't be minimized, we pointed out. If you could breed horses, dogs, and other animals for certain specific characteristics of disposition and body, it was silly to say that these same hereditary laws didn't apply to people. The best people in Virginia tended to meet—and therefore marry—only each other. As a result a wonderful, special breed of people had come into being, as different from other people as greyhounds are different from other dogs.
Thus we smugly reasoned. Yet placed like a jewel in this poor setting of twisted genetic and historical facts, of snobbery and exclusiveness, was something of great value. This was our vision of what our special greyhound breed of man was. For he was not a superman who ruled by power, bending others to his own advantage. He was one whose glory was an inner glory, one who placed culture above prosperity, fairness above profit, generosity above possessions, hospitality above comfort, courtesy above triumph, courage above safety, kindness above personal welfare, honor above Success.
We, a defeated nation, stood before the world without power, wealth, success, or real hope of ever regaining any of these, and yet we were able to stand tall and straight within ourselves because we believed we had those things which are good without adornment—those things without which power, wealth, and success are empty victories.
I attributed kind thoughts and high motives to everyone and assumed that they attributed them to me. I expected gentleness, justice, courage, and honor from all. These were the basic nature of man, I believed, and—so believing—was much at home in my world. No one was a stranger to me. I fell naturally into conversation with any person who was near enough to talk to—on street corners, on streetcars, in stores, on trains. I belonged to a great universal fellowship of golden hearts which even included Yankees.
But of all that was wonderful, I was sure Virginians had the largest measure. I did more than love Virginia. I adored her. I felt high pride in her and in the lofty principles for which she had always stood. She was my country. I thought of her as quite apart from all other states.
I recall laughing tenderly over the story of a soldier during World War II, who, when asked if he was an American, replied, "No, I'm a Virginian." His state pride seemed both charming and appropriate. In fact admirable. Virginia stood for the highest aims and ideals in our nation. Therefore, he showed his personal identification with the best.

The long, painful search to fill Missouri's men's basketball coaching job ended in April with the hiring of Haith, who soon set out to meet Tigers fan across the state. The fans have heard a lot more about Haith this week. A former booster at the University of Miami says he violated NCAA rules with the knowledge or direct participation of at least six Hurricanes coaches, including Haith.

Reopened to great fanfare in March 2011 after a four-year renovation, the world's largest museum flanks the east side of Tiananmen Square. Inside its cavernous halls are several permanent history galleries, plus temporary art shows. The Road of Rejuvenation exhibition, charting Chinese history from the 1840 Opium War to the present day, is the most compelling—though far from complete. Don't expect mentions of the Tiananmen Square protests, or the harsh facts of the Cultural Revolution. Do expect copious political rhetoric, a professionally curated photographic and interactive display, and some eye-catching carved murals depicting Chinese achievements through the centuries.—Gary Bowerman
