Choice school, dry cleaning issues held for more discussion in Wauwatosa
The Wauwatosa Common Council held requests for a choice school and a code change that would allow dry cleaning in commercial districts at their meeting May 19, referring the items to committees for further discussion.
Plans for the Milwaukee Parental Choice Program school, United to Serve Academy, were approved last week by the Plan Commission, but some aldermen said they had unresolved questions. The issue was referred to the city's community affairs committee for further vetting.
The council also held approval of a code change that would allow on-site dry cleaning in the city's general commercial districts, although each operator would still need individual approval. The issue came up after the owners of Westwood Dry Cleaners bought the former City Market building on North Avenue and wanted to move their operations there.
The code change was approved by the community affairs committee last week, but aldermen at the common council meeting said they wanted to further discuss insurance requirements for dry cleaners. It was referred to the government affairs committee.
Parents rally after lawmakers expand vouchers
Karen Suarez Flint, a Wauwatosa mother of two, said she watched in shock overnight as the Legislature's budget committee passed a sweeping, 29-page Republican education package that included increasing how much taxpayer-funded voucher schools would receive under a statewide expansion of that program.
"Their agenda is to take money from the public schools and give it to the private schools," said Suarez Flint, a member of the public school advocacy group Wauwatosa Support Our Schools (S.O.S.). "Don't use kids to push an agenda that has nothing to do with them. Last night hurt my kids. They had no voice and they were hurt."
She joined other parents, students and public school advocates Wednesday morning on the porch of a home in Wauwatosa to speak out against the GOP-controlled Legislature's latest budget action.
"We're all for choice, go to any school you want, but don't take our tax dollars," Suarez Flint said later Wednesday morning. "Tax money belongs in the public schools."
The Milwaukee-based Parents for Public Schools, Citizen Advocates for Public Education (CAPE) of Lake Mills and Advocates for Education of Whitefish Bay also are speaking out about the GOP plan.» Read Full Article
Wauwatosa approves conceptual design for pocket park on North Avenue
The Wauwatosa Common Council approved conceptual plans May 19 for a park at 69th Street and North Avenue meant to feel like "East Tosa's front porch," as articulated by architect Tom Rogers of SmithGroupJJR.
The design for 69th Street Center, which doesn't yet have a cost estimate, would transform the public parking lot next to Rocket Baby Bakery into a pocket park. Most of the ground would be pavement, with seating that can be cleared out for community events like Chili'n on the Avenue and the East Tosa Gran Prix.
With some juggling of parking areas, the plan overall cuts two parking spots. While there are currently 16 spots in the lot and six on 69th Street, the proposal calls for six spots on the north end of the park, seven on 69th Street, and six in the adjacent vacant area behind Voline Service.
"We balanced the need for parking with the catalytic component of this project and felt we had to lose two parking spaces to make this work and achieve that ultimate goal of putting in a project we think would attract and retain some of the existing businesses," Alderman Joel Tilleson said.
Working with city officials and neighbors on the design, Rogers said they tried to include playful features to make the 69th Street Center unique to Wauwatosa. They drew a bike rack so that the structure spells out "TOSA." Wooden benches include engraved factoids about Wauwatosa history.» Read Full Article

Wauwatosa School Board approves raises for teachers, administrators and staff
Despite some budget uncertainties, the Wauwatosa School Board approved raises for teachers and several employee groups at its meeting May 18.
Wauwatosa Superintendent Phil Ertl said he thought the raises were an important move for the district to retain staff in the face of potential state budget cuts.
"At a time when there's some budget uncertainty, and I know a lot of districts are not looking at increases, we feel it's important to make sure we're continuing to hire the best, retain the best," Ertl said. "I think they're fair increases."
Ertl said the district is able to afford the raises in part because of health insurance expenses coming in lower over the past four years.
As a group, teachers will be seeing a 2.2 percent salary increase. Each individual's raise will vary between 1 and 10 percent, Ertl said, depending on their place in the district's new compensation model, determined in part by performance evaluations. Ertl said full-time teachers at levels one and two will get a $2,000 raise; those at level three will get $2,400; and those at level four will get $1,000.» Read Full Article
Wauwatosa Avenue lane to close over Memorial Day weekend
The northbound lane of Wauwatosa Avenue will be closed on the north end of the Village from 7 p.m. Thursday, May 21, through Sunday, May 24.
The closure will stretch between Harmonee Avenue and Hillcrest Drive while a contractor connects sewer lines underground at Milwaukee and Wauwatosa avenues.
Northbound traffic will be detoured northeast on Harwood Avenue, north on 73rd Street and west on Hillcrest Drive. There will be temporary no-parking signs on Hillcrest Drive to accommodate traffic.
The work is part of the Milwaukee Avenue Utilities Project, which began last year and involves the replacement and expansion of sanitary and storm sewers to address flooding problems.
Residents invited to help redesign streets, parks in Wauwatosa Village
preliminary design workshop for streetscaping changes in the Wauwatosa Village from 6 to 8 p.m. Tuesday, May 19, at City Hall, 7725 W. North Ave.Residents are invited to attend a
As part of a planning process leading up to reconstruction planned for 2016, the group will explore changes to streetscaping elements like lighting and street furniture; bike and pedestrian accommodations like crosswalks and bike lanes; wayfinding signage; reconstruction of intersections; and potential renovation of Pocket Park and Root Common.
City officials have been considering changes to the Village streets and public spaces for years. Several intersections were targeted for redesign the Village's 2011 Strategic Development Plan.
The city hired Ayres and Associates last year to analyze options for improving intersections, but their proposed designs failed to pass through city approvals. One of their major proposals was to make Harwood go straight through Wauwatosa Avenue, rather than redirecting around Root Common as it does now. Root Common could shift to take over Harwood's current location with a six-space parking lot at the north end.
Earlier this year, the city hired a new consultant, GAI Consultants, which may consider elements of the Ayres designs as it creates new ones under a $250,000 contract. The city also establised an ad hoc Streetscape Selection Committee to facilitate communication and provide public feedback throughout the process.» Read Full Article
Wauwatosa alderman pulls proposal to shrink common council
Wauwatosa Alderman Bobby Pantuso said he has pulled his proposal to reduce the size of the common council because he doesn't think there is enough support for it.
"There was a lot of confusion about it and I think people were perceiving it the wrong way," Pantuso said. "I know it wouldn't have traction on the council."
Pantuso had suggested reducing the number of seats on the council from 16 to 12. Rather than residents each having two aldermen representing them, as they do now, districts would be smaller and each would have one alderman beginning in 2018. In the map he drew as a starting point, Pantuso would have been in the same district as Aldermen Joel Tilleson and James Moldenhauer.
Pantuso said he thought the change would make it easier for residents to understand who represents them, streamline communication and make meetings more efficient.
After being introduced at a common council meeting May 5, the proposal was set to be discussed by the city's government affairs committee May 12 but was missing from the agenda.» Read Full Article
Police arrest teens for prowling after foot chase through Wauwatosa
Wauwatosa Police Lieutenant Brian Zalewski said.Two Milwaukee 16-year-olds were arrested for prowling Wednesday afternoon after running from Wauwatosa police near the 2300 block of 68th Street,
Zalewski said an officer saw the boys attempting to break into a car and called for back up about 3:08 p.m. when they ran away. Seven squad cars responded and the teens were in custody at 3:12.
Since the boys did not break into the car, Zalewski said they do not face charges for that but were given $250 citations for prowling because they ran from police.
A Wauwatosa ordinance prohibits prowling "in a place, at a time, or in a manner not usual for law-abiding individuals under circumstances that warrant alarm for the safety of persons or property in the vicinity." Fleeing an officer is listed as one such circumstance.
A third boy, 14, was also taken into custody as a missing juvenile, but was released to an adult without a citation, Zalewski said.

Beer garden at Hoyt Park in Tosa reopens Wednesday, may go indoors too
As they prepare to open the Landing Wednesday, May 13, the Friends of Hoyt Park & Pool are seeking city permission to use the Grand Hall for the beer garden in bad weather, and be able to open any day of the week to accommodate holidays.
With several neighbors complaining about the amplified music coming from the beer garden, the Plan Commission approved the Landing's requests May 11 on the condition that the Friends report back in July on whether they've been able to address some of the neighbors' concerns. The group also needs approval from the Common Council.
Neighbors said they had complained many times about music from the Landing, without response. Representatives of the Friends group said each band sets up their own sound system and the Friends do not set a limit on the noise level. Aldermen urged the Friends to work with neighbors to find a compromise.
New hours, indoor space, tables
While the Landing has previously operated Wednesday-Sunday, the Friends are asking to be able to open on Mondays and Tuesdays for holidays like Memorial Day and Labor Day.» Read Full Article

Stuff magazine: "For once something exciting occured in sat-nav land"
Mar 31 2006 -
Stuff magazine: "For once something exciting occured in sat-nav land"
Stuff magazine was one of the first UK magazines to have a play with the new TomTom GO 910, which got the reviewers of Stuff magazine in a "fevered state". "TomTom's new hard drive-packing, iPod-loving widescreen sat-nav.", as they call it, is receiving good marks for its high quality wide screen. "For plain old navigation, the neat bit is the widescreen…this one has a corking 480 x 272 resolution which – on the unit we saw – had a good viewing angle and was coping well with sun streaming in through the windows."
Stuff magazine also loves the text-to speech feature, suggesting it's "the most natural text-to-speech we've heard yet". "The music side of things is even more interesting…free space for MP3's and JPEGs, proper browsing by artist, album and genre, plus a USB dock to transfer the stuff on there from your PC." Stuff magazine finishes the article with: "last but not least – and where skipping a whole lot of stuff here – there's Bluetooth phone and hands-free integration and some cool new PC software for loading new voices, maps, music and photos."

The Stormers ensured the Super 14 title will remain in South Africa after beating the Waratahs 25-6 in the semi-final on Saturday.
The Cape side will travel to Soweto next week to face the defending champs, the Bulls, in a match that will feature the tournament's two best teams. Regardless of the result, a South African franchise has now won the title three times in the last four years.
The atmosphere inside the Newlands cauldron crackled with intensity as the 48 000-strong crowd greeted Schalk Burger and the Stormers. Cape Town's been abuzz with expectation this week, and despite Alllister Coetzee's diplomatic claims to the contrary, the local fans had already begun to prepare themselves for a final with the Bulls.
The first half was as hard as expected, and the occasion prescribed a more conservative approach from both teams. Berrick Barnes attempted to disrupt the well-drilled Stormers' defence with some probing grubbers as the Tahs sought to set up camp in the opposition 22. The Stormers responded with the typical stonewall, the type of defence that forced the Tahs into handling errors.
The hosts bossed the collisions but were less than clinical at the breakdowns, while the Tahs managed to stop their maul at the lineout. Referee Mark Lawrence had a tough time officiating at the scrums, and dished out penalties to both teams.
This made for a stop-start match, and after 24 minutes the scoreline read 6-6 after two Peter Grant penalties and a Barnes drop and penalty. Sensing the break in momentum, the fans began the Mexican Wave, and a moment later, they were given something to scream about.
Juan de Jongh has been a fantastic ball-carrier in midfield this season, but on this occasion, he treated the Newlands faithful to a spectacular display of side-stepping. The Stormers No 12 glided through a gap and then proceeded to wrong-foot three defenders before powering over the line. Those who didn't applaud were left with an incredulous look, the most notable and incredulous bystander being Berrick Barnes.
The Tahs failed to profit from their forays into the Stormers' 22, as a handling error or breakdown steal usually cost them possession. They had a chance to level the scores right after half-time when a Tatafu Polota-Nau break set Tom Carter up, but De Jongh made a heroic covering tackle to dislodge the ball and send Tahs skipper Phil Waugh into a tantrum.
Grant missed one kick at goal before finding his radar, and the Stormers went into the final quarter with a comfortable 19-6 lead. Playing catch-up rugby, the desperate Tahs began to force passes and boot the ball straight into touch. While the Stormers never took full advantage of these turnovers, they maintained a cushion as the clock wound down.
The Stormers' big defensive hits kept coming to the delight of the locals, and another Grant penalty sent them into rapture. The refrain of 'Ons kannie worry nie' and the resounding 'Ole, ole, ole,' filled the ground when Grant sealed the result with a further three-pointer, a kick that confirmed the Stormers place in their first ever Super Rugby final.

I'm thinking more like 35 or 36%. That's a bit more realistic I think. Last season he shot 29.6% and even when he was shooting his best I think he was at 33%...

I mean damn, when your 5th guy is Metta World Peace, the defensive game changer and big shot hitter... that team is just absolutely built. Just insane.
That D12 trade really made you happy didn't it?
Mark Medina of the LA Times wrote:Whenever the Lakers don't win a championship, change takes place.
The front office makes trades. Fans assign blame to whoever they deem responsible. The cycle continues until the Lakers hoist another Larry O'Brien trophy.
The Lakers and their fans aren't worried about that now. They're too excited about having Dwight Howard, Steve Nashand a reasonable bench. Oh yeah, the Lakers have Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol too. But should the team fail to collect its 17th NBAchampionship in the 2012-13 season, the general public will find a scapegoat. And Metta World Peace says he wants the fingers pointed directly at him.
"If we don't win, kick me in the L4 or L5 nerve. That's right below your buttocks," World Peace said at the Voice Awards Wednesday night at Paramount Studios where he was honored for his work with mental health charities. "You ever been kicked hard in the buttocks? Kick me right there."
It's unlikely anyone would literally accept that invitation. Many still remember when World Peace lost his cool last season and gave Oklahoma City Thunder guard James Harden a concussion with one elbow swing. There's no telling how World Peace would react if someone actually kicked him.
But MWP's general point seems well taken. The Lakers boast a star-studded lineup in Howard, Nash, Bryant and Gasol. That could leave World Peace with wide-open three-pointers, unless there just aren't enough shots to go around on this team. Considering World Peace recorded a career-low 7.7 points on 39.4% shooting, it's possible those numbers could plummet even more.
This isn't the first time World Peace asked for public scrutiny if L.A. didn't win a championship. Months after joining the Lakers with a five-year, $33-million deal, World Peace (then as Ron Artest) said at an appearance in San Diego that fans should blame him if the Lakers fail to win a second consecutive championship.
"They won last year, and I'm the new addition," World Peace said at the time. "The fans expect to repeat. Everybody in L.A. expects a second ring. And if we don't, then yeah, they should point it right at me, throwing tomatoes and everything."
That didn't happen. Instead, Laker fans wildly cheered him. World Peace's 20 points on seven-of-18 shooting and five steals played a large part in the Lakers winning Game 7 of the 2010 NBA Finals against the Boston Celtics. Afterward, World Peace publicly thanked his psychologist.
That came full circle in a way on Wednesday considering his award for mental health charities partly stemmed from his Game 7 performance. Calling out his psychologist paved the way for World Peace to visit schools and hospitals, shoot various public service announcements and raffle off his championship ring to help the charities.
It remains to be seen whether MWP putting pressure on himself again could yield to the same breakout performance in the playoffs. Yet, it appears he's taking the right steps toward doing that.
On July 18, I viewed one of his private workouts at UCLA where he looked in great shape performing various conditioning drills. At his appearance at the Voice Awards, World Peace's face looked much thinner. He said he weighed 255 pounds, down markedly from the 268 pounds he weighed to open last year's training camp. World Peace also credited the Lakers' training staff for treating a nerve issue in his back, something that he believes attributed to his averaging 14.07 points per game in April.
"I'm ready to be a part of something special, definitely ready to play good ball," World Peace said. "It's not going to take me until April to be at that elite level."
Aside from his customary role of defending the opposing team's top player, it remains to be seen how World Peace will fit with the Lakers' starting lineup of All-Stars. Nonetheless, MWP pegged the Lakers' title hopes on a different variable.
"We can if we play together," World Peace said. "We can have that many All-Stars.
If that doesn't happen, blame World Peace. He'd want it that way.
Mark Medina of the LA Times wrote:Once the applause calmed down, Metta World Peace cut through the crowd of onlookers.
The eccentric Lakers forward wanted to talk to former WNBA star Chamique Holdsclaw. The two had just shared the stage Wednesday at the Voice Awards at Paramount Studios, where both talked about how they overcame mental health issues. But their bond went beyond addressing a cause they hold dear to them on behalf of the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration.
The two grew up together in the projects in Queensbridge, N.Y., and wanted to catch up. So among plenty of mental health experts and fans sharing well wishes, World Peace and Holdsclaw shared new phone numbers, rekindled old memories and then hugged goodbye.
As he took the lectern to accept an award in honor of his numerous work with mental health organizations, it's hardly a coincidence World Peace singled out his childhood friend.
"I definitely want to say how much I love Chamique Holdsclaw," he said.
That bond seems traceable along every step of their lives.
World Peace and Holdsclaw played on the same Boys and Girls Club team, where Holdsclaw started in front of him because she's two years older. Holdsclaw, who described the former Ron Artest as a "gentle giant," recalled how he often pushed opposing players who had tried to play too physical with her.
The friendship continued.
World Peace stormed out of St. John's after two seasons, became the Chicago Bulls' 16th pick in the 1999 NBA draft and quickly established himself as one of the league's best defensive players. Holdsclaw led Tennessee to three consecutive NCAA championships, became the Washington Mystics No. 1 draft choice in 1999 and then was selected the league's rookie of the year and won an Olympic gold medal in subsequent seasons.
They understood each other's struggles.
World Peace admitted he had been addicted to alcohol. World Peace sullied his reputation for his involvement in 2004 with the Palace Brawl, where the former Indiana Pacer drew an 86-game suspension for going into the Pistons crowd and punching a fan after a drink was thrown at him. World Peace's reputation also took a step back last season after earning a seven-game suspension for elbowing Oklahoma City guard James Harden and giving him a concussion.
"I wish I could be a more perfect person in accepting this award and more of a perfect role model," World Peace said. "But I'm definitely an example."
In 2002, Holdsclaw struggled with the passing of her grandmother June. After suffering through bouts of depression years later, Holdsclaw asked the Mystics to trade her to the Sparks in 2006. That same year, Holdsclaw drank heavily and nearly overdosed on depression medication. She retired before the 2007 season without much explanation.
"I wanted to do everything myself," Holdsclaw said. "I'm the strong person, this athlete and I don't need anybody else. I think it tore the relationship with my family apart."
World Peace and Holdsclaw appeared at the Voice awards showing how things have changed.
World Peace credited his psychologist, Santhi Periasamy, for talking him through his problems, thanking her after Game 7 of the 2010 NBA Finals. He auctioned off his 2010 NBA ring for $651,006 to benefit mental health charities. He testified before Congress on behalf of the Mental Health in Schools Act, which would raise $200 million in grant funding to 200 schools. He appeared in public service announcements and billboards on behalf of the Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health. Because of those efforts, World Peace won the 2010-11 J. Walter Kennedy Citizenship Award.
"It's admirable, especially for a male athlete to come forth and say these are my struggles, I have to talk to a therapist and this is what I've done," Holdsclaw said about World Peace. "It's so hard for men to open up, especially when you have the stigma associated with it in sports."
It remained hard for Holdsclaw to open up too. But she expressed gratitude for former Tennessee Coach Pat Summitt constantly visiting her. Holdsclaw made a comeback with the Atlanta Dream in 2009 and San Antonio Silver Stars in 2010 before injuring her left Achilles tendon. She since devoted her time to an autobiography titled, "Breaking Through: Beating the Odds Shot After Shot," which details her struggles with depression.
"I knew she was going through a lot," World Peace said of Holdsclaw. "That's the situation where you show support to your peers instead of judging. You can help more that way."
All these years later, World Peace and Holdsclaw came out stronger because of that.
"If [Barack] Obama and Bill Clinton can recover from smoking weed," World Peace said, "we can recover from anything."

Unlike last year, I hear very good things about Metta World Peace. He's in shape, lost weight and...surprise!...working a lot on his shot.

Metta Looking "Pacers Ron" At The Lakers Training Facility
You guess: which Lakers player paid the closest collective attention to his diet and work out habits last season?
Kobe Bryant … right?
Maybe not.
Now don't get me wrong – Bryant absolutely keeps himself in fantastic shape and has changed his dietary habits in the last several years in particular after his absurd metabolism carried him through a pregame routine of burgers and fries earlier in his career. He's just not our answer in this case.
How about Steve Nash? He's extremely well known around the league for keeping a strict diet and putting himself in the best possible shape to maintain his elite level of play after all these NBA seasons.
But it's not the Canadian MVP, who has yet to sit down with the team's training staff.
The answer is: Metta World Peace. Don't look so surprised.
According to Lakers strength and conditioning coach Tim DiFrancesco, MWP is absolutely the man.
"Metta was extremely helpful for me last year because he does a great job with his nutrition and recovery habits," DiFrancesco detailed. "He takes that stuff very seriously, and younger guys in our locker room started to see that.
"He takes it to a whole different level; he's really in tune with a lot of high level nutrition approaches. He doesn't just want to know what a good peanut butter is made of, but where it was made, what's in it and how he can get a better one. He wants to really put the nutrition program together like an actual nutritionist might."
In fact, World Peace makes a point of traveling with the right types of food that he knows fuel his body most efficiently during the season when the team is out of town. And he's just as serious about his work outs.
"He cares about the 'why,' DiFrancesco continued. "Metta wants to know why we're doing each exercise. On multiple occasions, he and I would stay after games lifting into the late hours of the night, and he's always willing to go the extra mile. He's very, very easy to work with."
World Peace came into camp last season noticeably out of shape – just ask coach Mike Brown, or MWP himself – but for a reason. He'd carried some injuries out of the 2010-11 campaign, and with the lockout starting in July, was unable to work with the team's training staff to address those problems.
Issues with his back and Achilles made it difficult for World Peace to work out as he normally does through the summer and fall, and when the season suddenly started – as a surprise to many players – in December, he wasn't close to being ready.
"It was a product of the lockout," said DiFrancesco. "But once he flipped the switch and got healthy, he put it all together with lifting, working out, nutrition and everything. It wasn't rocket science, he just ate clean, worked out hard and consistently and recovered and slept the right way."
After shooting 34 percent prior the to All-Star break, World Peace shot 43 percent afterwards, and discovered the kind of lock down 1-on-1 perimeter defending that has been the hallmark of his career.
If you've seen him around the team's training facility this summer (OK, there's no way most of you could have), you've noticed that he's in fantastic shape.
"Compared to last year at this time, it's not even close," concluded the strength coach. "Metta told me he's feeling on the court like he felt when he was playing for the Pacers, when he was at the top of his game athletically. It's because he's put his time in.
"He decided he needed to stay focused on this track and not take much if any time off. You saw it last year from a production standpoint on the court around the All Star break last year, and he's at that level now coming in. The last thing he wanted was to come in anywhere near where he was lats year, and he's far, far from that."

Associated Women for Harding to host princess and super hero party
A princess and super hero party will be held by the Associated Women for Harding Feb. 16 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. in Cone Chapel for children and parents.

"Every child — or every child at heart — has that princess or super hero who they want to be," Pied Piper Director Dottie Frye said. "We'll do some stories about super heroes and a princess or two. I'm sure we will recognize special guests who happen to be princesses and/or super heroes, and we'll have so much fun on a cold February day."
The event will be held in Cone Chapel, and the Pied Piper show will be held in the Heritage Auditorium. Children are encouraged to dress in costumes. Tickets are available in the Office of Alumni Relations, Harding Academy Elementary office and the Tangerine Turtle at 918 E. Race Ave. Tickets are $10 for children and $5 for adults.

Hello. We estimate a time period for our food packages based on calorie counts ... specifically, 2000 calories per day. (Beware sellers who try to pass off a "serving" as a meal.)
Yes, the 4-, 7-, and 18-month packages in our store (see: http://store.prepared.pro/onsale.aspx) are one-person time periods. For two people, simply divide that period of time by two (or three people, divide by three).
Shelf life varies a bit. Mountain House freeze-dried cans are good for at least 25 years in reasonable storage conditions. Mountain House in mylar pouches is rated for a 7-year shelf life.
The 3600 calorie emergency food bars are good for at least five years.
All the other foods--dry and wet-pack are canned to last for 10 years or more. Fact is, few manufacturers go to the great expense required to legally verify maximum shelf life. It is to their advantage not to do so as they can sell more food after people think their foods not bought recently probably needs to be replaced.
Bottom line--we do have a case of the food bars in our 18-month package and that 5-year shelf would be the first item to go. That is because it is packaged in foil. Next would be the 7-year mylar pouches for Mountain House. 10 years is possibly the max you would want to store canned powdered milk and eggs. The wet pack meats should be good for 10-15 years. Dehydrated and freeze-dried foods go well beyond that. Honey--pretty much forever.
Note that good storage conditions for any type of packaged food means cool (room temp or cooler) and dry--out of sunlight, with no big cyclical temperature swings (freezing and thawing as an example). Any time a can or package's integrity is compromised, or there are bulges in the can, toss the food.
Rough estimates for space required to store these packages:
Picture a standard pallet or skid with the food stacked on it ...
4-month package: knee high
7-month package: waist high
18 month package: two pallets, chest high

"great sun protection - wish lasted longer"
This mask was purchased more for sunburn protection than flies. My mare wore it daily for about three months and the bottom band seperated from the mask and the woven fabric quickly became frayed and uncomfortable as the rigid fibers stabbed her in the muzzle. The band also posed a hazard as the mare had it in her mouth when I discoverd the problem and couldn't quite figure out how to spit it out. Great concept. Excellent sun protection. Just need better reinforcement along seams.
"Great Product"
I have 9 horses that all have white on their faces. I have been using the Cashel Long without ears for years. The are great at not only keep the fly and nats out of their eyes but they are great for preventing sunburn. I have been extremely pleased with this product
"I love this fly mask"
"I inherited one of these masks when I purchased an older mare. I used it all the time. She absolutely loved her Crudader fly mask. when it finally became unusuable, I used some other fly masks I had laying around. They just didnt help her the same. My mare's eyes just run all summer without a fly mask. Any other mask I used, her eyes still wept! I am excited to give her a new ""Crusader"" fly mask."
"need large sizes"
The Crusader Cool mask without ears is great for my gray horse. It keeps the sun off his white nose and face, and also protects his eyes from UV sun rays. I need a larger size for my biggest horse (over 17 hands tall). Could you carry larger sizes, please?
"Perfect for baldface horses!"
Best face mask for your bald face or white nose horse.No more sun burns! It holds up well. My mask is going on its second season of daily summer use. I will purchase another.

Everything I Wanted!
I used the colors plum and silver/grey and it turned out beautiful! I really like the pocket because I could put all of my wedding information without trying to condense it onto one card. I ended up getting our return address printed on the envelope and I really liked that better than the stickers. The quality of the text and paper was phenomenal. Overall, a great product and I'm excited to send them out to my guests in a few weeks!
Great Personalization!
I was so happy with the addition of the flowers on the front of my invitation! The colors match my wedding perfectly!
Save the Date magnets
I loved how easy it was to personalize all of the preset designs on the website! The options for everything was very user friendly! The cost and options of what to actually order is so wide that there is definitely something for everyone and all styles!
Invitations & RSVPs
I asked for sample products of invitations even asking for a specific style so I could better visualize. They sent me exactly what I wanted and I fell in love with one specific pocket invitation style and the linen paper. I was not fully able to personalize everything I had wanted on my invitation/RSVPs (the main background and more specific paragraph spacing) BUT I typed what I wanted into the notes section and the person working on the proofs created exactly what I asked and continued working with me until I was satisfied with what I was getting. They were sent quickly and were just as fabulous as I had hoped. RSVP post cards were printed on very sturdy paper and the quality of everything was great. I would recommend magnet street. I had also gotten my save the dates from here too...LOVE!
Beautiful Invitations
I had read lots of reviews about Magnet Street's amazing Save the Dates. However, I was surprised at the level of customization available with all their wedding stationary. I ordered a JustOne to match our STD's and was extremely pleased with the quality of the paper and the depth of color. When our full order arrived, I couldn't have been happier! Magnet Street's full color and text customization is an incredible value. The size and accessory options are unmatched with other invite vendors I've looked into (especially at this price point!).Not only that, I've had guests comment that it was the most beautiful invitation they have ever received! Thanks Magnet Street!!!!

- The Office of Management and Budget moves forward with a plan to make sure agencies get the most for their money on upgrades to financial systems. OMB has unveiled a list of 20 projects they'll review under a new policy. Part of that includes finding ways to reduce cost and align development more closely with business needs. In late June, OMB directed agencies to delay plans for new contracts and task orders associated with the projects.
- Health and Human Services has proposed updated rules for health information privacy. The new rules give would give citizens more access to their own records and ban sale of health information without a patient's consent. The rules would update the regulations governed by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, or HIPAA. They were issued in a 234-page notice of rulemaking in Thursday's Federal Register.
- A coalition of police, fire and other public safety officials disputes a Federal Communications Commission plan for a nationwide emergency response network. In a white paper published yesterday, the Public Safety Alliance said the FCC plan would not provide enough bandwidth. The FCC has proposed devoting 10 megahertz to public safety, and auctioning off the D-block spectrum to commercial wireless providers. The Alliance counters, its members need both pieces of spectrum. It calls the FCC plan a misguided policy framework, NextGov reports.
- EADS North America has made its case for why it should get that $35 billion contract to build midair refueling tankers for the Air Force. The company submitted a hefty bid Thursday -- almost 9-thousand pages -- one day ahead of today's deadline. EADS is betting that its Airbus A-330 will beat out rival Boeing's smaller 767. The Pentagon is expected to award the contract by November 12
- The president has nominated a new leader for military operations the middle east. If the Senate approves, Marine Corps General James Mattis would take over U-S Central Command. He would replace Army General David Petreaus, who was just sworn in as the commander of U-S and allied forces in Afghanistan. Petreaus replaces General Stanley McChrystal, who was resigned after publicly criticizing the administration.
- Congressional investigators accuse Afghanistan military contractors of stonewalling an investigation into who really owns the companies. A subpoena went out from the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee to two fuel suppliers, Red Star Enterprises and Mina Corporation. The companies have received billions of dollars. The investigation of them started in May, after a revolt in Kyrgyzstan. Wall Street Journal reports, investigators want to know if the companies have to the toppled president's family, as claimed by the new regime.
- The government is making it easier for combat veterans diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder to receive disability benefits. Veterans Affairs Department will no longer require veterans to prove what might have triggered their illness. Instead, they'll simply have to show they served in combat in a job that might have contributed to post-traumatic stress disorder. An announcement from VA is expected Monday. A Rand Corporation study estimated that 20 percent of returning veterans, or 300,000 men and women, have symptoms of PTSD or major depression.
- The Department of Defense is distributing a survey to active-duty and reserve troops about the possible repeal of "Don't Ask Don't Tell." The Pentagon wants to study the potential impact of repealing the military's gay ban. Results of the online survey are to be included in a final report to the President, the Defense Secretary, and the Join Chiefs Chairman by December 1.
- It didn't take long for someone to crack the code. The characters that appear in the gold ring on the official seal of the U.S. Cyber Command represents the group's mission statement. Antivirus vendor Panda Security's threat researcher Sean-Paul Correll says MD5 is a 128-bit cryptographic hash that is commonly used for verifying file integrity. TopNews reports that Correll was able to crack the code in only a few minutes, using a clue on Wired.com's Danger Room blog.
- Terrorist information sharing between Europe and the United States is starting up again. The European Parliament approved a deal allowing sensitive financial data to be shared with U.S. counterterrorism officials. The system shut down in January, and the Obama administration had trying to get it restarted ever since. The parliament earlier voted down use of the system, citing privacy concerns. The yea vote comes after months of negotiations with the European Council and the European Commission, according to the Wall Street Journal. The president called the Bush-era information sharing program, indispensible.

High school students listened intently as Julia Pfaff demonstrated the proper way to use a stethoscope. She also described the different parts of the heart and what heartbeat patterns to listen for.
"Find the second rib … go to the right and listen to the aortic sound, it should be subtle," said Pfaff, a first-year LECOM Bradenton medical student. "Now go directly across to the sternum ... a little to the left, and listen to the pulmonary sound."
|LECOM Bradenton first-year medical student Julia Pfaff instructs Roselyne Frelinghuysen at the Medical Science Academy.
Pfaff and three of her classmates are spending the early part of the summer teaching high school students at LECOM Bradenton's Medical Science Academy (MSA).
MSA offers 11th graders, 12th graders and recent high school graduates a two-week program in which they experience an academic medical school environment by participating in small group instruction, laboratory experiments and clinical shadowing.
Students are actively participating in a Problem Based Learning (PBL) format in which groups of eight students and a medical student facilitator learn with hands-on experiences.
The high school students have learned the art of suturing and splinting. They also participated in first-aid and CPR training and will experience healthcare in a clinical setting.
"The program gives students a real experience of what it is like to be a medical student," said MSA coordinator Russell Sexton, PhD, Professor of Biochemistry.

"Convertible Balloon"
Title-sequence theme music for a stuck-in-turnaround Adult Swim series about the sociopathic delusions of paraplegic, perpetually stoned Wii marathoners.
"Almost Famous"
Not to be confused with the Cameron Crowe boomer-weepie of the same name under any circumstances. I mean, it's not like you're gonna dig up any deleted scenes where Jason Lee takes Patrick Fugit aside and says something like, "For a gangster, you sure did shit your pants when you saw the chainsaw get waving, like a Terrible Towel."
"Oildale (Leave Me Alone)"
In summers past, this generically convulsing Korn astro-dirge—and don't all Korn astro-dirges convulse generically, and don't we keep unconditionally loving these lunks anyway?—would've been the number one choice for a SummerSlam anthem. This summer, though, "Oildale" is undoubtedly BP CEO Tony Hayward's iPod jam when he'd skirting peeved pols and locals on the Louisiana coast.
The Chemical Brothers
If the submerged vocal sample—"Just remember to fall in love/There's nothing else"—is rave-of-Aquarius Zen, the altered-state ambiance is all grooved glow-stick house hook and ecstasy tab two-fer whoa. There's a wrongness about "Swoon" as a Chems joint, like it's just a bit too far out of their lane, but it's hard to resist.
Christina Aguilera
"My Girls"
I liked this song a lot better back in 2005, when it was just basically the plot outline for most of Madonna's Confessions on a Dance Floor videos. Or when it was the gist of all those network-TV Sex & the City knockoffs. Or whatever.

It is important that children develop healthy eating habits early in life. Here are some ways to help your child eat well and to make meal times easier.
What to Expect:
- After the first year of life, growth slows down, and your child's appetite may change.
- It's normal for your child to eat more on some days and very little on other days.
- A child may refuse to eat in order to have some control in his life.
- A child may be happy to sit at the table for 15 to 20 minutes and no longer.
- A child may want to eat the same food over and over again.
How can I encourage my child to eat more?
- Set regular meal and snack times. Avoid feeding your child in between these times, so that they are hungry at meal and snack times. If you want your child to eat dinner at the same time you do, try to time his snack-meals so that they are at least two hours before dinner.
- Limit juice and milk between meals. Offer water between meals, which will satisfy thirst without spoiling the appetite. Serve drinks at the end of the meal.
- Respect tiny tummies. Keep portion sizes small. Here's a rule of thumb – or, rather, of hand. A young child's stomach is approximately the size of his fist. A good serving size for a young child is 1/2 slice of bread, 1 oz of meat, or 1/4 cup of fruit or vegetable pieces.
- Respect changing appetites. Offer ...

We have long heard that the South will rise again, but who thought that return would be led by a 7-year-old girl and a band of brothers with ZZ Top beards and a fondness for frog hunting?
Yet here we are amid an explosion of reality shows about the South, more specifically the rural South, where TV producers seek out characters with thick accents and thin educations – rednecks, in other words.
Since the debut of History's "Swamp People" two years ago, the roster of redneck reality shows has grown to nearly two dozen, headed by the ratings hits "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" and "Duck Dynasty." And more are headed our way, like MTV's forthcoming "Buckwild."
The shows offer a variety of protagonists – hog farmers, moonshiners, accidental millionaires – but what happens in them is pretty much the same: The characters take part in a backwoods activity, preferably involving mud; do something low-class, like let the dog lick the frosting on a wedding cake; use as much bad grammar as possible; and fight with each other. Setting something on fire – ideally themselves – is a bonus.
Reality TV always has pursued its own latest trend, with knockoffs of the most recent hit an absolute certainty. "The Real Housewives of Orange County" has spawned a franchise that now includes New York, New Jersey, Atlanta, Miami and Beverly Hills, as well as several off-brand copies. The megahit "Pawn Stars" revitalized the what's-stuff-worth genre.
But no topic in reality-documentary land has ever turned out as many shows as the redneck boom, which has spawned series on A&E, Animal Planet, CMT, Discovery, History, National Geographic and TLC.
It got it start, coincidentally, as part of the dangerous-jobs series boom begun by Discovery's "Deadliest Catch." The History channel launched "Swamp People," which focuses on Louisiana's annual 30-day alligator hunting season. The character's thick accents and backwoods ways caught hold. The trend accelerated last year with the success of A&E's "Duck Dynasty," and this summer's TLC smash "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" is keeping the engine stoked.
But why do viewers find rednecks so appealing? The answer is multifaceted.
Demographic appeal plays a major role, says Richard Goedkoop, a retired professor of communications at La Salle University in Philadelphia.
"For one, it reaches the young male audience that is difficult to target with content that is not sports," Goedkoop said. "Second, it reaches a somewhat older male audience that wants to relate to a more basic element in their past: the frontiersman, the hunter, the gatherer. Third, it reaches part of a more general audience that is looking for diversion that takes them out of their mundane suburban or urban lives and probably makes them feel superior to those being portrayed."
And that last element is particularly important, says Bob Batchelor, an assistant professor of journalism and mass communications at Kent State University in Ohio and an expert on popular culture.
"The fascination with celebrities and high class lifestyles still exists ... but reality TV show creators have found that audiences also respond to the grotesque, whether it is someone bombing and then getting berated on "American Idol" or getting dirty in a Southern swamp," Batchelor said. "The fascination with rural Southern culture is based on the rest of the nation's misunderstanding of the region and its basic prejudice against the South in general. The rest of the country does not feel that making fun of the South is off-limits. As a matter of fact, Southerners are a group that it is still permissible to mock."
Others, though, don't see the pandering to stereotype as necessarily harmful.
Paul Levinson, a professor of communications and media studies at Fordham University in New York, believes that criticizing a TV genre for stereotyping a subculture "underrates human's intelligence."
"People can tell the difference between a TV show and real life,"
Some even see an aspirational aspect to shows like "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo." That series, which drew more than 2.5 million viewers an episode to its first season this summer, stars 7-year-old Alana Thompson and her family, which includes Sugar Bear, Pumpkin, Chubbs and Chickadee. The series plays like a sitcom, and the characters' main role seems to be to make as many off-the-wall comments as possible.
