New Village Square issues in Delafield
City of Delafield - New issues were raised at tonight's Plan Commission meeting in the controversy surrounding a Madison developer's plans to build three 30-unit apartment buildings adjacent to the Village Square Shopping Center at the interchange of Highways 83 and 16 on the northeast corner of the city.
City Attorney Jim Hammes may have to determined whether the Common Council must vote on amendments to an out of court settlement that regulates development of the land before the Plan Commission can conduct a public hearing on the apartment project.
Opponents, including Alderman Jeff Krickhahn, argue that the apartment buiding plans violate several provisions of the out of court settlement. The settlement was reached by the city with previous owners of the shopping center development 10 years ago.
Hammes had previously opined that the Common Counci could change the provisions in the agreement with a majority vote.
Plan Commissioner Wayne Dehn tonight questioned whether the council would have to cast that vote before the commission could conduct a public hearing on the apartment project. City Administrator Tom Hafner said he would confer with Hammes tomorrow.» Read Full Article

Waukesha County beaches open Saturday
Memorial Day is in the rear-view mirror; summer is just around the corner, and what better sign than the opening of Waukesha County beaches?

Lifeguards will be on duty from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily starting Saturday, May 30: Fox Brook Park, 2925 N.

At staffed beaches, swimming is allowed only when lifeguards are on duty, with the exception of Naga-Waukee Park. At Naga-Waukee, swimmers may swim at their own risk only after lifeguard staffing has ended from sunrise to sunset through Labor Day. Mukwonago Park, S100 W31900 Highway LO, Mukwonago, will be staffed by lifeguards weekends only, May 30-31 and June 6-7. The beach will be closed June 1-5 and 8-11.

Sussex intersection approved
Sussex - The Village Board, on a 3 to 2 vote Tuesday night, May 26, approved plans to eliminate an iconic business district intersection at Main Street and Silver Spring Drive and replace it with a T intersection a few hundred feet east of the existing triangle intersection.
The reconfiguration, which is estimated to cost about $1.4 million, is intended to improve the flow of traffic along Main Street and through the village.
However, Village Trustees Pat Tetzlaff and Bob Zarzynski voted against the plan saying the reconfiguration would eliminate some parking spots, create turn manuevers too tight for large trucks, and located the new intersection too close to a local Barber Shop.
With their opposition, the plan could not receive the usual four vote majority because there are two vacancies on the board created by the recent resignations of former trustees Matt Cmeyla and Matthew Petricca.

Circuit Court Judge Michael Aprahamian stayed a sentence of up to two years in prison and four years of extended supervision for Kraus in favor of five years of probation. Aprahamian said during the May 22 plea and sentencing hearing that the only reason Kraus wasn't going to prison was her prior lack of a criminal record.
Aprahamian also sentenced Kraus to serve 12 months in jail — nine months of "straight time" and three months with work-release privileges — and ordered her to pay an undetermined amount of restitution to the town of Lisbon. An exact restitution amount will be determined on June 29 at a restitution hearing.
Kraus pleaded no contest to the credit card fraud charge.
Several town of Lisbon employees, including Supervisor Joe Osterman and Clerk/Administrator Matt Janecke, appeared and spoke at the sentencing. Many of them criticized Kraus' character and asked the court to impose a harsher sentence than had been outlined in a plea agreement.» Read Full Article

Mukwonago man pleads guilty to shooting grizzly bear
A Mukwonago man pleaded guilty to shooting and killing a grizzly bear in northwestern Montana.
Richard Kutcher pleaded guilty May 18 to shooting a grizzly bear in closed season, according to officials with the Flathead County Justice Court. He has been ordered to pay a $235 fine and $2,000 in restitution.
The hunter thought the animal he shot was a black bear and not a grizzly, said John Fraley of Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks. Kutcher notified authorities immediately of the mistake, Fraley said.
Grizzly bears are a threatened species and are illegal to hunt, Fraley said. He added the grizzly bear has been collected and will likely be tanned for educational purposes.
In addition to fines, Kutcher will lose hunting privileges for 60 days, court officials said. The Mukwonago man was also sentenced to six months in jail, which was suspended.

From SmartGFE to LumenRMS – We're Ready.
To succeed in today's competitive business environment, you not only need to work hard; you need to work smart. Smart means simplicity. Smart means guaranteed. Smart means savings.
ClosingCorp pioneered SmartGFE® nearly five years ago and since that time, it's been a staple with lenders nationwide. LumenRMS, the new risk management suite will be the flagship product for the future of closing. LumenRMS is optimized to help lenders meet the challenges of the August 2015 closing disclosure changes and create a sustainable approach for the future. With ClosingCorp, you can be confident knowing that you are ready for the GFE's of today and the LED's of the future.
SmartGFE benefits.
Imagine a world where good faith estimates no longer take hours to compile, put your business at risk of regulatory violations, or jeopardize your ability to close loans. Imagine no longer. Whether you're a retail, correspondent or wholesale lender, ClosingCorp's SmartGFE® delivers the accurate, reliable closing cost data you need to deliver superior client service while maximizing business efficiency and improving your bottom line. All accompanied by ClosingCorp's Compliance Guarantee which can virtually eliminate any RESPA-related tolerance violations you may be experiencing due to inaccurate GFEs provided to mortgage applicants. The Compliance Guarantee will also allow you to do away with arbitrarily high, non-competitive GFE estimates for fear of paying tolerance violations.
|Retail Lenders
|Correspondent Lenders
|Wholesale Lenders
|Elimination of tolerance violations
|Reduction in labor costs
|Real-time alerts if recording fees or transfer taxes change
|Audit trail for changes in circumstance
|Technology platform integrations with RealEC Technologies®, Calyx Point®, Ellie Mae® Encompass360®, QuestSoft Compliance EAGLE℠, and other proprietary systems

SmartGFE is simple to use.
At ClosingCorp, we think getting accurate data for your GFEs should be simple. With most GFE solutions, however, it's anything but. Manual entry requirements, multiple user inputs, and limited automation make for a complex, time-consuming and work-intensive process. All for data that's anything but reliable.
Fortunately, with ClosingCorp this arduous process is now a thing of the past. Our SmartGFE® technology features extensive back-end automation, meaning that virtually no interaction is required from the user. SmartGFE integrates loan file data, census and county property data, and a lender's business rules and requirements, all in a single, seamless process. All with one click, and all in less than a minute. And unlike other solutions, SmartGFE produces actual data, not estimates.
Of course, for those rare occasions when complete flexibility and manual input is a necessity, SmartGFE enables you to override the system rules to customize your experience. No technical degree required.
Best of all, SmartGFE® can be uniquely branded for your company and is integrated with RealEC® Technologies, Calyx Point®, Ellie Mae® Encompass360®, QuestSoft Compliance EAGLE℠ and other proprietary platforms.
So what does smart mean for your business? A simple process that saves you time, enhances your productivity, and improves the quality of your customers' experience.
SmartGFE is guaranteed.
With ClosingCorp's SmartGFE, gone are the days of having to worry about incurring a RESPA-tolerance violation every time you create a good faith estimate for a client. That's because every GFE you create is populated with actual closing cost data that's guaranteed to protect you from RESPA tolerance violations related to Blocks 3 though 8. And when we say guaranteed, we mean it.
That's right. We're so confident in the accuracy and reliability of SmartGFE® that if the fees obtained from it are not compliant with the applicable tolerance restrictions under RESPA regulations, ClosingCorp will cover the cost of the discrepancy (subject to the terms & conditions of its Compliance Guarantee).
That's a guarantee you can rely on because only SmartGFE provides actual, vendor-verified rates for Blocks 3-8, including the ever-important recording fee and transfer tax data, thanks to the industry's most sophisticated and comprehensive recording fee and transfer tax database, which is a proprietary ClosingCorp asset.
But that's just the beginning. All relevant changes to a loan file are automatically captured, date stamped, and updated with appropriate fees based on every change in circumstance. That means you get the security of having a complete audit trail from GFE to HUD-1, and a Compliance Guarantee Certificate, which contains the audit trail.
So what does smart mean for your business? Being secure in the knowledge that you're protected from costly RESPA tolerance violations, prepared for potential audits, and providing your clients with the most reliable, accurate data possible.
SmartGFE delivers savings.
Let's face it. At the end of the day, the bottom line is your bottom line, and operational efficiency and cost containment are vital to the success of your business. Every dollar counts, so why not choose a GFE solution that helps you keep more of those dollars in your account?
SmartGFE® is the only solution that delivers actual closing costs on any residence in the United States. Actual data delivered directly to you means less time spent researching costs and creating GFEs, and it means you'll virtually eliminate costly RESPA tolerance violations.
In other words, actual data means actual savings. Big savings. How big, exactly?

So, the digital dogs ate the last podcast that we did. Really! Those cyber-gremlins got the better of us. This time, however, we leashed those dogs and we captures all 5 of us in our crazy glory in Episode 48 of the Cast of Dads, "Movies, Meatloaf & Memes"! But yes, we have really had a hard time getting together, just for a phone call. In this episode though, we started up right where we left off, it seems, and it was really hard to stop at 30 minutes.
We definitely had a lot to say in this show with topics seeming to swirl around movies, entertainment and sports – good guy stuff there! But we aren't just scraping the surface – but you will just have to listen in to see how deep we actually go!
And remember, If you would like to sponsor an individual episode or a series of episodes, please do let us know. We are just waiting for that large brand to bring us all together in the same place – can you believe that after 2 years, we have never done that?

The Importance of Data for State Spend Regulation
With so many state-level governments adopting legislation limiting or mandating disclosure of payments to physicians, spend compliance is now top of mind for many pharmaceutical companies. Keeping pace with the varied and often conflicting requirements across states has always been difficult. But as momentum for wide-ranging healthcare reform increases, so has talk among stakeholders in Washington and around the industry heated up around creating standards for complying with and enforcing these types of requirements.
Predictably, the idea of national standards for physician spend regulation has both supporters and detractors. Supporters point to the effort required to stay abreast of ever-changing and varied regulation, and the IT cost to support reporting requirements. Detractors decry national regulation as a political power grab rather than a tool for effective social policy, and complain that the general public does not understand the cost of general research and development or the limited profit windows posed by short patent life.
These arguments came to a head last month as Massachusetts introduced the broadest physician-spend law yet. What's new and different about the Commonwealth's law? For starters, it's the first legislation in the U.S. applying to medical device manufacturers as well as pharmaceutical companies. Secondly, the law seems to have teeth that have been missing in the laws of other states, providing for a $5,000 per-incident fine. Previously, the largest public settlement on record was only $10,000 total.
Given the degree of uncertainty about the future of physician-spend legislation, the only certain course of action is to build a reliable, integrated source of physician data that can easily cross-reference to various AP, expense reporting, ERP, and CTMS systems. While reporting requirements will continue to morph, putting in place a reliable data foundation will allow you to rapidly respond to these changes as they occur. There are certain ground rules to follow, however. A strong data foundation must plug equally well into your BI environment, where the bulk of regulatory reporting ill likely occur, as it does into the operational systems that you use to alert personnel to spend limits.
How to go about creating such a strong data foundation? It might not be quite as difficult as it sounds. Read on to discover how one pharma company is using master data management to get a handle on their physician spend management.

Hey all,
I recently got a disc, but I'm not sure what it actually is.
It's a clear disc with an Otter Creek Park Fling-A-Thing Pro/Am Doubles stamp on it. Anyone know what this disc might be. It's definitely a driver, just can't tell what it is since I wasn't at the tournament.
I'd love to know what it is, I throw it great!

Java doesn't provide any built-in delegation mechanism, and so far Groovy didn't either. But with the @Delegate transformation, a class field or property can be annotated and become an object to which method calls are delegated. In the following example, an Event class has a date delegate, and the compiler will delegate all of Date's methods invoked on the Event class to the Date delegate. As shown in the latest assert, the Event class has got a before(Date) method, and all of Date's methods.
|Code Block
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat class Event { @Delegate Date when String title, url } def df = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy/MM/dd") def gr8conf = new Event(title: "GR8 Conference", url: "http://www.gr8conf.org", when: df.parse("2009/05/18")) def javaOne = new Event(title: "JavaOne", url: "http://java.sun.com/javaone/", when: df.parse("2009/06/02")) assert gr8conf.before(javaOne.when)
The Groovy compiler adds all of Date's methods to the Event class, and those methods simply delegate the call to the Date field. If the delegate is not a final class, it is even possible to make the Event class a subclass of Date simply by extending Date, as shown below. No need to implement the delegation ourselves by adding each and every Date methods to our Event class, since the compiler is friendly-enough with us to do the job itself.
|Code Block
class Event extends Date { @Delegate Date when String title, url }
In the case you are delegating to an interface, however, you don't even need to explictely say you implement the interface of the delegate. The @Delegate transformation will take care of this and implement that interface. So the instances of your class will automatically be instanceof the delegate's interface.import java.util.concurrent.locks.*
|Code Block
class LockableList { @Delegate private List list = \[\] @Delegate private Lock lock = new ReentrantLock() } def list = new LockableList() list.lock() try { list << 'Groovy' list << 'Grails' list << 'Griffon' } finally { list.unlock() } assert list.size() == 3 assert list instanceof Lock assert list instanceof List
In this example, our LockableList is now a composite of a list and a lock and is instanceof of List and Lock. However, if you didn't intend your class to be implementing these interfaces, you would still be able to do so by specifying a parameter on the annotation:@Delegate(interfaces = false) private List list = []
Let's have a look at another simple usage of @Delegate, for wrapping an existing class, delegating all calls to the delegate:
|Code Block
class Photo { int width int height } class PhotoSelection { @Delegate Photo photo String title String caption } def photo = new Photo(width: 640, height: 480) def selection = new PhotoSelection(title: "Groovy", caption: "Groovy", photo: photo) assert selection.title == "Groovy" assert selection.caption == "Groovy" assert selection.width == 640 assert selection.height == 480

College Rovers beat Pretoria Police 23-10 in the final of the Saru National Club Championship on Friday.
The men from Kwazulu-Natal led 13-3 at the break thanks to a try by fullback Kobus de Kock, and two penalties and a conversion by Jors Dannhauser. Police managed just one penalty in reply, and in general battled to play the game in Rovers territory.
Andrew Borgen extended Rovers' lead in the 55th minute, and Danhauser's subsequent conversion took the score to 20-3.
Police battled to convert their own opportunities, and while they did score late in the piece through Heinrich Rademeyer, the Pretoria club had left themselves with too much to do with only 10 minutes remaining.
In the Plate final played earlier on Friday, Bloemfontein Police edged Welkom Rovers 17-15.

Hi, I'm Kaylee Randle and Welcome to my Blog!
I'm Kaylee. I've lived in Minnesota my whole life. I really like living near the city being close to malls and various fun places but also love the countryside and has always thought it would be so much fun to live on a farm because its so pretty and I really like animals. I'm generally a very happy person and like to have a great time wherever I'm at. I'm also a somewhat musical person. I've played the piano for 10 years and I've been playing the cello for 6 years and I really enjoy it. I really like to travel. I travel few times a year out of state for special church conventions, camps, and visiting friends and family.
This is an image that I created that describes a lot of who I am. Here is a picture of my Doll House that I have had since I was very little. I was the typical little girl that loved playing with dolls and barbies. Besides showing my main interest as a child I added myself inside of the Doll House doing various different things that I like. I have myself in a car because I like to travel, I'm playing football in the backyard which is my favorite sport, I'm watching TV downstairs with someone to show that I like spending time with family and friends, I'm pushing babies in a swing because I really like little kids, I am cooking in the kitchen because I like to bake, upstairs I am holding my cello because I play it and that I'm musical, and on the top floor is me playing with a dog because I like animals and dogs are my favorite.
In a short three minute sequence that I chose in the movie Where the Wild Things are shows many different camera angle shots to show the importance in the scene, help the audience understand the feeling of being the character at that part, and have a large visual image of what is happening in the story. During this sequence the little boy, Max, just ran away from home because he was angry about his life at home and took a little sail boat over water and landed on this island where later he'll come across the Wild Things. This short three minute sequence shows him getting out of the boat and to the shore of the water and then climbing a huge cliff on the land.
The camera first shows Max up close in the boat. The camera is not being held still. This is to get the effect for the audience of the jerkiness of the boat and the waves hitting the boat.
The camera goes back and forth for a little while showing the boy, seeing his face expression which shows that he is not enjoying the ride and is some what frightened, and then the boat and view in front of Max of the shore he is coming to. As Max reaches closer to the shore he falls out of the boat and the camera not only just shows him in the water but also goes under the water with him and back above the water with him getting air a few times. Now we see Mas arrive on shore pulling his boat with a rope. The camera moves very quickly showing different shots of the boy and the boat and the ground that he is pulling the boat across, not very smoothly. This is giving the viewers the feel of the difficulty Max is having pulling the boat and the strong wind from the waves. Next, as Max is pulling the boat on the sand, camera directer chose to get a shot of the island from birds-eye-view or from the top of the cliff looking down so that we can get an aspect of the area Max is arriving at. The camera then is back at the same level as Max and showing the cliff in front of Max so that the viewers can get a good picture of what Max sees. Now we see Max starting to climb the cliff. The camera is looking up at him to show height of the cliff. The camera switches quick to different positions showing his feet slipping and getting grip on the cliff, the area above Max on the side of the cliff that he will be reaching next, a view of Max from the side and above so that we can see how huge the cliff is and how high up Max is from the ground now, A close up of his face to understand how frightened he is feeling, a shot of the ground straight below him of the waves rolling in giving the viewers a worried feeling of Max so high up, a camera view from straight out looking at Max and the whole side of the cliff to see the proportion of Max and the huge cliff, and then him finally reaching the top of the cliff.
After that the camera turns around so that we can see what Max is seeing. The camera is not being held still. It is wobbly, quick, and a little jerky to give of the feel as if we are Max and this is what he is looking at and how he is looking at it. We then see a side view of Max in the woods on the cliff. This shows us the challenges of all of the branches and obstacles he has to watch out for and step over and move out of the way of. During this last minute of the sequence it shows Max in the woods at a spot looking out at some fire in the woods and where he sees the Wild Things moving above throwing sticks and breaking things. The camera moves quickly from Max to what he is looking at. The camera is not smooth so that we get the feeling of being Max and how frightened he is from how fast the camera is moving all over the forest in front of him of the Wild Things. That is the end of this three minute sequence.
This is a video of my cousin Nadine speaking about one of her favorite things she is involved in. She is a runner and participates in Track. Here she tells why she likes it, what she likes about it, and what she is doing to approve and have success at a race or track meet.

The first generation T-34 medium tank made its debut in combat during the summer of 1941, when the Wehrmacht launched its invasion of the Soviet Union. The T-34 easily outclassed the German PzKpfw III and IV models, thanks to its hard-hitting 76.2mm main gun, thick frontal armor, wide tracks, and overall superior mobility. The first T-34s were assembled at Kharkov, Leningrad, and Stalingrad, then moved behind the Ural mountains when the German advance encircled Leningrad, overran Kharkov, and invested the "City of Stalin". Legend has it that some T-34s rolled off the Stalingrad assembly line unpainted and even unfinished to prevent the Nazi invaders from capturing the city.
Pictured here is a 1:72 scale replica of a Russian T-34/85 medium tank that was employed on the Eastern Front during 1945.

Historical Account: "The Eastern Wall" - The Soviet juggernaut got rolling in earnest with the advance into the Germans' Orel salient in August 1943. The diversion of Hitler's Grossdeutschland Division from Belgorod to Karachev could not halt the tide, and a strategic decision was made to abandon Orel, which fell to the Red Army on August 5th, 1943, so they could fall back to the Hagen line in front of Bryansk. To the south, the Soviets blasted through Army Group South's Belgorod positions and headed for Kharkov once again. Though intense battles of movement throughout late July and into August 1943 saw the Germans blunting Soviet tank attacks on one axis, they were soon outflanked on another line to the west as the Soviets advanced down the Psel. Kharkov had to be evacuated for the final time on August 22nd, thus ending the battle for this all-important city.
The German forces on the Mius, now constituting the 1. Panzer Armee and a reconstituted 6. Armee, were by August too weak to sustain a Soviet onslaught on their own front, and when the Soviets hit them they had to fall back all the way through the Donbass industrial region to the Dnieper, losing the industrial resources and half the farmland that Germany had invaded the Soviet Union to exploit. At this time, Hitler agreed to a general withdrawal to the Dnieper line, dubbed the
Ostwall, a line of defensive fortifications similar to the Westwall which situated along the West German frontier. Trouble was, it hadn't been built yet, and by the time Army Group South had evacuated eastern Ukraine and begun withdrawing across the Dnieper during September, the Soviets were fast on their heels. Tenaciously, small units paddled their way across the 3-km (2-mile) wide river and established bridgeheads. A second attempt by the Soviets to gain land using parachutists, mounted at Kanev on September 24th, proved as luckless as at Dorogobuzh eighteen months previously, and the paratroopers were soon repelled — but not before still more Red Army troops had used the cover they provided to get themselves over the Dnieper and securely dug in. As September proceeded into October, the Germans found the Dnieper line impossible to hold as the Soviet bridgeheads grew and grew, and important Dnieper towns started to fall, with Zaporozhye the first to go, followed by Dnepropetrovsk.

California's Swamp of lnitiatives: Distorting Politics in the Golden State
Recently retired after 19 years as editorial page editor of the Sacramento Bee, Peter Schrag can be considered a lifelong journalist. He began his career as a reporter for the El Paso Herald-Post and was associate education editor and executive editor of the Saturday Review. Currently, he is a visiting scholar at Berkeley's Institute of Governmental Studies.
Schrag's articles on politics, education, and other social issues have appeared in publications such as Atlantic, Harper's, The Nation, The New Republic, and Playboy. His latest book, Paradise Lost: California's Experience, America's Future, published in 1998, reports on the dark side of populism in America's Golden State. Schrag presents a different perspective on the initiative than that of Ron Unz, a recent Athenaeum speaker who launched an all-out defense of the initiative process.
With the election only days away and with some important issues to be decided by ballot initiatives, this timely discussion should be of interest to all voters.
Saving Lake Baikal and Lake Tahoe: Is It Possible?
TUESDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1998, 12:15 p.m.
Each summer, the Tahoe-Baikal Institute (TBI) holds its annual international environmental exchange at Lake Tahoe in California or Lake Baikal in Siberia. For ten weeks, an international team of students and young professionals from the U. S. and Russia come together to work with specialists and learn from policy- makers how to apply interdisciplinary approaches to environmental problem-solving. Focusing on the threatened environments of two of the world's unique lakes, the TBI helps prepare future leaders while seeking solutions to regional and global ecological problems. A long-time leader of efforts to save Lake Tahoe, Resources Secretary Doug Wheeler spent part of the past summer at Lake Baikal with the TBI.
A graduate of Hamilton College and Duke University School of Law, Wheeler was named California's seventh Secretary for Resources by Governor Pete Wilson in 1990. A long-time leader in the field of conservation, Wheeler has served as Vice President of the World Wildlife Fund and the Conservation Foundation. Previously, Wheeler served as Executive Director of the Sierra Club and was founder and president of the American Farmland Trust. He has also held executive positions with the National Trust for Historic Preservation and was Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Interior from 1972-77.
In his Athenaeum appearance, Wheeler will discuss the two unique regions of Lake Tahoe and Lake Baikal. Wheeler's luncheon address is sponsored by the Roberts Environmental Center as part of the series on Regional and Global Environmental Issues. Lunch will be served at 11:45 a.m. and the lecture begins at 12:15 p.m.
From Boardroom to Classroom
People from all different walks of life have taken an active role in improving the quality of our nation's K- 12 education system. Of particular concern and interest is improving schools that serve at-risk youth. Many have advocated the use of vouchers or education tax credits so that parents, regardless of income level, could send their children to the school of their choice. Corporate America has become involved by investing millions of dollars in scholarships for deserving students.
Few have taken a more active and personal role in improving schools on the local level than Thomas Bloch, CMC class of '76. Following graduation from CMC, Bloch spent twenty years working at H&R Block, Inc., the world's largest tax preparation firm, which was founded by his father, Henry, and uncle, Richard. In 1981, he became president of the tax division. Ten years later, he became president of the company; the following year was appointed chief executive officer. Bloch left H&R Block in 1995 to spend more time with his family and to seek a different kind of personal fulfillment. For the past three years, Bloch has taught middle school math at St. Francis Xavier School, an urban Kansas City school that serves lower income and minority students. Bloch helped establish a professional development relationship with Rockhurst College. The partnership is designed to transform St. Francis Xavier into a model of urban school reform while also strengthening the teacher preparation program at Rockhurst College.
Bloch's career change and commitment to education reform has attracted national media attention. He has appeared on several television shows including NBC's Today, CBS This Morning, and Oprah. He has also been featured in many newspapers and magazines including The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, as well as People and Kiplinger. Please join the Athenaeum as our education reform series continues, and hear from a CMC alumnus who is a leader in improving our nation's schools.

Sigma Xi Distinguished Lecturer
What We Learn From Chasing Tornadoes
Weather phenomenon has become a topic of much popular and scientific interest. While there is still much to discover, experts continue to enhance their ability to track and predict severe weather. Dr. Howard Bluestein, a professor at the University of Oklahoma, has contributed a great deal to the understanding of convective storms, tornadoes, tropical cyclones, and mesoscale weather phenomena.
A graduate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Bluestein received his B.S. and M.S. degrees in electrical engineering and M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in meteorology.
Since 1976, Bluestein has taught at the University of Oklahoma and has been recognized on several occasions for his excellence within the classroom. He has received numerous awards for teaching from the University of Oklahoma and in 1989 was named the Oklahoma Professor of the Year by the Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE).
Bluestein is an active researcher. He participated in the Global Atmospheric Research Program's Atlantic Tropical Experiment (GATE), in the Taiwan Area Mesoscale Experiment (TAMEX), and in storm- interception projects such as the Verification of the Origins of Rotation in Tornadoes Experiment (VORTEX).
Many publications have also featured Bluestein's work including Scientific American, Time, Outside, Live, Atlantic Monthly, and Popular Science. In addition, he has authored a two-volume textbook entitled Synoptic-Dynamic Meteorology in Midlatitudes (1997) and his upcoming book, Tornado Alley: Monster Storms of the Great Plains (1999).
The Good News from Asia-After the Meltdown
Surin Pitsuwan came to the United States from Thailand in 1967 after winning an American Field Service Exchange Student Scholarship in 1967. He went on to graduate cum laude in political science from Claremont Men's College in 1972.
Surin later won a Rockefeller Fellowship to pursue his graduate studies at Harvard University. He spent one and a half years studying Arabic and researching Islamic philosophy and jurisprudence at the American University in Cairo, Egypt, returning to Harvard to complete his Ph.D. in 1982.
Upon his return to Bangkok, Thailand, Surin taught at Thammasart University and worked as a columnist for the two English daily newspapers, the Nation Review and the Bangkok Post.
Surin joined the Democrat Party in 1986 and won a Parliamentary seat from his native province, which he has kept during the past six general elections. In 1997 Surin was appointed Minister of Foreign Affairs, culminating his distinguished career in government service.
Again, the CMC community is fortunate to hear about the Asian economy from an expert and a political insider. Please join the Athenaeum in welcoming this distinguished alumnus back to Claremont.

A Reading
Bernard Cooper is going to surprise you. Nothing will prepare you for his hybrid of memoir and fiction or his open-hearted, humorous readings and lectures. Cooper's prose is resonant and exquisitely crafted. Growing up gay and middle class in the Los Angeles of the 1950s and 60s, sexuality, familial, relationships, loss, and AIDS-these are among Cooper's primary subjects.
Through them all, he expresses his deepest concern: how the writer explains identity by traveling the terrain of memory. Masterfully recalling details with delicacy and uncontrived finesse, Cooper reveals a wisdom in his looking back that ultimately transforms the way we examine our own lives. Winner of the PEN/Ernest Hemmingway Award in 1991 and the 0. Henry Prize in 1995, Cooper teaches at Antioch/ Los Angeles and at the UCLA Writers Program.
In his visit to the Athenaeum, Cooper will read from his two collections of memoirs: Maps to Anywhere (1990) and Truth Serum: Memoirs (1997). His work has appeared in Harpers, Paris Review, The New York Times Magazine, and in anthologies such as The Best American Essays (1988, 1995, 1997), and the Oxford Book of Literature on Aging (1994).
The New York New Music Ensemble: Performance of Contemporary Music
DANIEL DRUCKMAN, percussion
CHRIS FINKEL, cello
STEPHEN GOSLING, piano and synthesizer
JEAN KOPPERUD, clarinet
JEFFREY MILARSKY, conductor and precussion
JAYN ROSENFELD, flute
CALVIN WIERSMA, violin and viola
From their jazzy, toe-tapping downtown songs to their uptown pieces of the European music tradition, The New York New Music Ensemble makes avant garde music fun and approachable.
For twenty-three years, the ensemble has inspired, commissioned, performed, and recorded music of the most important composers of our day including works by Milton Babbitt, George Perle, and Melinda Wagner. The ensemble recently issued its eleventh recording, New Electro-Acoustic Music (1998) featuring composers C. Bryan Rulon, James Primosch, and Rand Steiger. Other recordings include Music of Carter, Davies and Druckman (1996) and Schoenberg's Pierrot Lunaire (1992).
The New York New Music Ensemble has performed all over the United States and in several European countries. The group has played at such sites as the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and at festivals in Rome, Bonn, and Southeast Germany.
"The American Record Guide" hails the ensemble's "virtuosity, theatricality, and commitment" while the Buffalo press describes them as "one of the finest batch of players dealing with 20th century avant garde material." The New York Times has described them as "player for player, perhaps the best new music group in the country." The New York New Music Ensemble's combination of musicians and instruments (flute, clarinet, violin, cello, piano, and percussion) will delight experienced composers and musical novices alike.
Post Election Commentary
A the November election beckons, prognosticators have been giving odds on which candidates will win, the impact of President Clinton's problems on national politics as well as specific races, and what issues will be important to voters. Until the election results are in, however, the pundits are merely speculating. Fortunately for those of us here at CMC, we can listen to what analysts predict prior to the election and then hear from our own faculty once the results are in.
The Athenaeum has assembled a panel of four distinguished CMC professors from opposing political camps to discuss the meaning and significance of this year's elections. They will analyze specific races and comment on national trends and how the national political landscape has changed or remains the same.
Professor Mark Blitz is currently chair of the government department and is responsible for overseeing research conducted at the various institutes on campus. He is a former staff member of the Senate Foreign Relation Committee and Associate Director of the United States Information Agency. Professor Jack Pitney is also a member of the government department and CMC's resident political pundit, appearing frequently in print media, as well as on radio and television. A former Congressional Fellow, Pitney was also research director at the Republican National Committee.
Professor P. Edward Haley has taught at CMC for 30 years. though most of his work has focused on international issues, Haley has a profound interest in domestic politics as well. Professor Judith Merkle has taught at the University of California at Berkeley, the University of Oregon, and for the last sixteen years, at CMC. In addition to her work in public administration, she is also an international best-selling novelist.
A Reading
Chang-rae Lee is one of the most interesting contemporary Asian-American writers. Born in Seoul, he immigrated to the United States at the age of three. Educated at Phillips Exeter Academy, Yale College, and the University of Oregon, he is presently Professor of English and Director of the Creative Writing Program at Hunter College, one of the City Colleges in New York.
Lee is best known book is Native Speaker (1995), which won the 1995 PEN/Hemingway Prize as well as the American Book Award. He is a frequent contributor of nonfiction articles to The New Yorker, the New York Times Magazine, Granta, and other journals.
The well-known Asian American poet Ganett Hongo wrote of Native Speaker, "Every once in a while, someone writes about a great long note of trouble, something they've been thinking about a long time, and that long note of trouble makes music; that Chang-rae Lee." Library Journal noted that the book was "a first novel of impressive poetic and psychological accomplishment."
Lee's second book, Black Flag, will be published by Riverhead books in 1999. At the Athenaeum he will read from new, unpublished work.
Chang-rae Lee comes to the Athenaeum as the final speaker in the series The State of Asian America: Identity, Politics, and Culture sponsored by the Gould Center for Humanistic Studies.

What Our Customers Are Saying about Our Fade Out Cream …
"I've been using this two times a day for about three months on a dime-sized, 20-year-old age spot on my jaw. It's about half as dark now as it was when I began using Fade Out. The effect is gradual, but I can see a difference. Now I'm using it on the backs of my hands, too. I have sensitive skin, and this has not caused any irritation. I will buy more when I run out." - Donna J Gamache, Saint Ann, MO
"I had a dark spot on my face biopsied by my dermatologist last year. (Brief public service message - get dark spots checked. Skin cancers are easier to treat early.) Anyway, I ended up with a small scar from the biopsy and expected more when having the entire mark removed. The Fade Out Cream works slowly but it REALLY works. The spots that had grown over 5 to 10 years are nearly gone, even without consistent daily use. I also haven't had to deal with any questions about the sudden disappearance of a dark spot. It seems to be very gentle on my skin, even right next to my eyes. I keep a small jar in my purse so I can apply it later if I forget at home. I've had some problems with irritation using it under foundation. The good news is I need less foundation now." - Ellen, Ambler, PA

For Rusty Harris-Bishop, the Environmental Protection Agency's communications coordinator for Region 9 and a remedial project manager in the superfund division, working 3,000 miles from headquarters isn't without challenges — starting with the three-hour time difference.
"We will get into the office at 8 a.m. and we will have a call waiting for us and they want something by noon their time, so that gives us an hour to get something to them. So I don't know if they always appreciate the time difference," said Harris-Bishop, who works in San Francisco. "But we always joke that after 2 p.m. you don't have to worry about anything for the rest of the day, because a call from headquarters will not be coming in after 5 p.m. their time."
Harris-Bishop is partly joking about the time difference, but it is an example of the disconnect that sometimes occurs between headquarters and field offices.
The Environmental Protection Agency is one of several departments trying to establish a one-agency approach, and that includes reaching out to the field offices more regularly.
"The agency has made great strides to be an agency, not agencies where Region 3 is a personal fiefdom and etc. etc," said Russ Swan, EPA's chief of the underground storage tank, asbestos, lead and pesticides branch in the Office of Regional Counsel for Region 3 in Philadelphia. "Headquarters — yes, that is where the buck stops. But there really is a lot of give-and-take between regional offices and headquarters. Sometimes the communication can be a little interesting, but reasonable minds can disagree. But there is mutual respect for everyone's viewpoints."
Swann, Harris-Bishop and others said EPA's desire to reach out to the field offices helps make policy decisions and their eventual implementation easier.
"I see our role as being the advocate for helping to make a policy implementable rather than one that seems to look right or fit right within a law or regulation," said Rick Rogers, the associate director in EPA Region 3's Office of State Programs in the Land and Chemicals Division. "We have a little bit more experience in working with individual states or state staff and knowing what they can do, how they can do it and the pressures the states feel in terms of budgetary problems, loss of positions and an inability to fill positions. That all equates to if we come out with a policy that is not implementable, what benefit is it to protecting public health and the environment."
Rogers said he feels like headquarters is listening and values the input the field office gets from Washington.
"A lot of times we come out with good regulations or policies to be followed but there isn't enough money to implement them," he said. "Whether it's money EPA provides to state agencies or the state agencies which have to get the funding from somewhere (or) whether it's their own internal budgets or fees collected from regulated entities. The bottom line usually is we have a good set of regs or policies to work with but they are designed to be fully funded, and we typically are not fully funded so a lot of times we are struggling to make ends meet."
And it's that kind of challenge — understanding state agency or possible implementation roadblocks &mdash where the regional offices excel.
Rogers said communication that flows to and from the field makes all the difference in whether a program is successful.
"Trying just to understand each other's point of view and trying to communicate that well has always been a bit difficult," Rogers said. "I've always thought ever since I was first in the program and working on my first regulatory development workgroup, it would be really helpful if we could switch shoes so that we could get the experience and see what it's like to work inside the Beltway, and experience those differences, those pressures and expectations. And vice-versa: Have folks, who work in our programs in Washington, come out and be in our shoes for awhile. I think that would really help in a better understanding on both sides and a better acceptance or understanding of why we both are asking for what we are asking for."
Harris-Bishop and Swan agreed with Rogers that both sets of employees would benefit from spending time in each other's offices.
But with travel money tight and budgets shrinking, Harris-Bishop said Region 9 is relying on webinars as well as video and teleconferences to communicate with their counterparts.

In this thread, let's share apostasy stories. I'll start with mine.
When I was a Christian child, I was always fearful that Yahweh might punish me with eternal damnation. Day after day, I would worship him telepathically. One night, I worshiped him out loud in my sleep, to my mother's distress.
When I was seventeen years old, a YouTube video entitled "Rejecting Atheism" inadvertently inspired me to question the existence of Yahweh, Heaven, Hell, the afterlife, and even the supernatural soul. Once I realized that these concepts did not meet the burden of proof, my hadephobia disappeared like a child's fear of an imaginary monster in the closet. It felt disillusioning to realize that what I had feared the most was imaginary.
Philosophy offers freedom from thought control. It's the most difficult path to follow, because it demands study, not worship. Naturalism has nothing to fear but fear itself. With such freedom comes the responsibility to be good for the sake of being good and to make the best of the one life that we know that we have.

Smith's 19 and Anuna's Double-Double Send Men's Basketball to 10-Point Win at Livingstone in Final Non-Conference Tune-Up
December 31, 2011
SALISBURY, N.C. - Using a game-high 19 points from Danny Smith and a double-double posted by KC Anuna, Pfeiffer University picked up a 72-62 victory over region foe Livingstone in the final non-conference tune-up on Saturday afternoon. The Falcons improve to 6-4 on the year with Tuesday's Conference Carolinas opener ahead while the Blue Bears fall to 3-3.
Pfeiffer closed out the low-scoring first half on a 24-14 run after Livingstone had taken a brief three-point lead. Smith's triple tied the contest with 12:57 to play in the half while later giving the Falcons the lead for good just two minutes later.
Midway through the second, Pfeiffer grabbed its largest lead of the day at 15 with 7:47 and 5:27 remaining in the contest after holding a double-digit lead for most of the final 20 minutes. The Blue Bears would cut it down to five late but ran out of time as the Falcons connected on nine of their final 12 free throws in the final 86 seconds.
Smith shot over 50% dropping his 19 points on 7-of-13 shooting from the floor while adding five assists. Anuna contributed with 14 points and 11 boards while Desmond Thomas finished the day with a dozen. Nasir Austin paced Livingstone with 14 points while Josh Hodge had 11. Tyler Johnson pulled down a game-high 16 rebounds.
Pfeiffer now enters Conference Carolinas play in 2012 traveling to St. Andrews on Tuesday for the league opener. The Falcons' home-opener in league play will come Thursday hosting Mount Olive at 7:30 p.m.

GT Sensor GTw Womens
|(0 Reviews)
Product DescriptionA Lot of us shave our legs. A lot of us don't. Just because you've exchanged your spandex for baggies doesn't mean you don't want a bike that climbs like your hardtail; just because you don't armor up doesn't mean you don't like to decend like a madman. The ultimate trail-bike, the Sensor takes agility, responsiveness, and effciency of a cross-country race bike, and adds more travel and a slacker geometry for inspired descents and more predictable line choices. Are we claiming a little bit by calling it the ultimate trail bike? Maybe. But then again, Mick did win Sea Otter's Dual Slalom on it.

CPI: Important, but hard to figure out
The Consumer Price Index numbers were released earlier this week. So what makes up the CPI and what does it really mean. Editor Don Whitten takes a closer look at the CPI, how it's determined and what it – supposedly – says about the country's direction. (July 19, 2013, Page 4A)
