Drew University Hosts Ninja Conference?
Our very own Sam Browning, recently attended a conference of "Koga Ninjas" that was held at Drew University in New Jersey:
I was attending this discussion because I was interested in obtaining answers to the following questions.Click here to read the full report in our Japanese Martial Arts section.
1) What is Koka or Koga Ryu Ninjitsu?
2) Does Koka or Koga Ryu Ninjitsu still exist, and are there any people teaching this art who have a legitimate lineage back hundreds of years to feudal era Japan?
3) Does Jinichi Kawakami have an authentic lineage to Koka ryu ninjutsu?
4) If Kawakami does have such a lineage, does he have any instructors or senior students who are American?
5) If Kawakami is a legitimate representative of Koka Ryu, how does that effect the legitimacy of everyone else in the United States who claims to teach "Koga Ryu"?

Elmbrook loses appeal of graduation lawsuit
The Elmbrook School District violated the Constitutional guarantee of separation of church and state by holding past graduation ceremonies at Elmbrook Church, a federal appeals court ruled Monday.
Americans United for Separation of Church and State, the group that filed the lawsuit in 2009 on behalf of nine anonymous plaintiffs, hailed the decision as an important victory for personal liberty in this country.
"This decision upholds the separation of church and state, it upholds the Constitution," said attorney Alex Luchenitser, associate legal director for AU. "It ensures the students in Wisconsin will not be forced to enter an intensely religious environment as the price of attending their own high school graduation, a seminal event in their lives."
Some of the plaintiffs have claims for monetary damages due to the emotional suffering that occurred as a result of the district's choice of graduation venue, Luchenitser said, adding that his next step is to talk with those families and the school district's legal counsel to see if a settlement can be reached. If not, a district court will review the claims and make a determination.
Luchenitser said the financial gains were not the prime motivators for the plaintiffs.» 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?

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.

Brookfield criticizes state Hotel and Lodging Association proposal
City of Brookfield —A proposal to alter state room tax provisions came under fire Tuesday, May 19, by common council members, who ultimately approved a resolution opposing those efforts.
The Wisconsin Hotel and Lodging Association has sought to have room tax changes inserted into the state budget bill that would change how much municipalities can retain and how much would go to the state. City officials said if the provision succeds, it would result in a loss of at least $400,000 annually in the city budget.
Alderman Scott Berg, who said he received an email from the Wisconsin League of Municipalities last week seeking comment on the association's intent, implored his fellow aldermen to understand the importance of the situation.
"There's a lot of money at stake. Take it seriously. This is a big deal," Alderman Scott Berg said.
Mayor Steve Ponto spent much of last Thursday in Madison in the company of state Rep. Dale Kooyenga (R-Brookfield) and state Sen. Leah Vukmir (R-Wauwatosa) as a team of officials discussed ways to combat the proposal.» Read Full Article

The Elmbrook Rotary Club will welcome upward of 50 volleyball teams Saturday, May 30, at its annual fundraiser, the 28th annual Spikes for Tykes.
Spikes for Tykes has been bringing companies, clubs and residents together since 1988 in an effort to raise funds for a variety of local and international causes.

Brookfield chicken amendment moves on
After nearly eight months of discussions, several impassioned pleas from residents, large quantities of research and one month-long poll, the City of Brookfield's legislative and licensing committee finally made a decision regarding an amendment that would make raising chickens more accessible to residents.
By a 3-2 vote, the quintet of aldermen who sit on the committee approved an ordinance that would allow all residents with lots of at least one-third acre to keep up to four hens in their backyards.
Aldermen remained on the same sides as they have been for months, with Gary Mahkorn and Buck Jurken opposing the action and Lisa Mellone, Jeff McCarthy, and Bill Carnell moving it to the next level.
The committee has looked favorably upon the possibility of attaching a sunset clause to any legislation that would see the ordinance expire in two years if not renewed by the common council.
Other guidelines within the ordinance as presented to the committee Tuesday, May 19, include that chicken coops must be 10 feet from any property lines or structures and that residents wishing to run electricity to said coops must apply for a separate permit.» Read Full Article
Brookfield to continue chicken talks

The committee will be meeting at 7 p.m. tonight in the Seligenstadt Conference Room at City Hall, 2000 N. Calhoun Road.
Annual Brookfield Rummage Daze returns
For one day this weekend, one of the city of Brookfield's largest green spaces will be transformed into a market with all types of treasures.
Wirth Park will play host Saturday to the Brookfield Jaycees annual Rummage & Craft Daze.
For more than 20 years the event has brought dozens of parties together looking to sell a variety of goods.
Rummage & Craft Daze registration head Matt Powers said that one of the main ideas behind the event is to provide a setting for those who might otherwise hesitate to host their own rummage or garage sales.
"I have one vendor who has had some burglaries in their neighborhood and just doesn't want people to come to their house and know where they live and what they have, so they decided to come here this year," Powers said.» Read Full Article
82-year-old physician sentenced to a year and a day of prison
An 82-year-old former physician from Brookfield has been sentenced to a year and a day in federal prison for illegally distributing prescription drugs, in a case prompted by the overdose death of one of his patients.
Jerry Yee pleaded guilty in January to two counts of writing prescriptions for narcotics without legitimate medical reasons and outside his practice. Yee was an osteopath who surrendered his state medical license after the offenses first came to light in December 2013.
Yee originally faced 16 counts for improperly dispensing painkillers and other drugs such as Adderall, Xanax and Alprazolam to third parties between 2010 and 2013.
Yee's attorney, John Birdsall, noted in court papers that Yee's patient, Heather Andrews, died in June 2013 of a heroin overdose around the one-year anniversary of her boyfriend's fatal overdose, and that there was no evidence the Xanax that Yee had described played any role in her death.
"The government and the (pre-sentence report writer) seem to be urging the court to punish Dr. Yee for Ms. Andrew's tragic death," Birdsall wrote.» Read Full Article

I cannot remove a device pool
Created: 07 May 2007 • Updated: 21 May 2010 | 2 comments
I have backup exec 10.0 and an hp cartridge system that shows up as a robotic library. The cartridge has slots for 6 tapes. Currently, device pool 1 has 3 drives, pool 2 has 2 drives, and pool 3 has 1 drive. I'm trying to move the drive in pool 3 to pool 2. I can remove the device from pool 3. However, it is not available for reassignment to the other pools. I can't remove device pool 3 because the delete option is greyed out under general tasks. I've searched the help files and came up with nothing. Does anybody have an idea of what I am doing wrong?

Motley Crue Gears Up for Fest
By Scott Iwasaki Deseret News
Motley Crue has been around for nearly 30 years. Throughout the band's career, it has released a string of multi-platinum albums, played sold-out shows all over the world, upped the ante on revolving drum risers, become the subject of multiple unauthorized biographies and band documentaries, and found itself on the cover of all the tabloids and music magazines for either their outrageous lifestyle or in-band fights.
So, who would have thought the band — bassist Nikki Sixx, guitarist Mick Mars, drummer Tommy Lee and vocalist Vince Neil — would be gearing up for its first touring music festival, Crue Fest.
Apparently not the band, Mars said during a teleconference with Sixx last month. "We just wanted to play music together when we started out. We didn't think about doing a festival.
"Back then it wouldn't have worked out anyway, unless it was a bigger band that asked us to be on it."
"The time seemed right for us now," Sixx said. "We wanted to find some like-minded bands and bring the music to the people."
With Ozzfest cutting back to a single show in Dallas in August, and the starting up of the Rockstar Mayhem tour, the field looked good for Crue Fest, Sixx said.
"We're at the point where we have fans that are young and some that are old," he said. "Our demographics range from 12-year-olds to people who are older than 40. So, this festival is designed to please all our fans."
With the likes of Buckcherry, Papa Roach and Trapt, Sixx said the show is going to be a simple "rock show."
"We had more than 30 bands we looked at to join us," he said. "We chose these guys because they have good track records and have hit the radio with their sexy lead singers, loud guitars and snotty lyrics, just like us."
One band on the tour is Sixx's other band Sixx A.M., which released a soundtrack to Sixx's biography "Heroin Diaries."
"I was getting ready to do a tour with Sixx A.M., but this opportunity for Crue Fest came about and, since Motley Crue is my first priority, I trashed the tour and decided to work on this," Sixx said. "But the guys in the band told me I had to play with Sixx A.M. during Crue Fest. I really thought they'd be against it, but Tommy told me to do it and so did Vince and Mick."
The encouragement and support from the band members was very different in the 1990s when Tommy, Vince and Sixx were at each others' throats for one thing or another.
"A lot of time has passed since then," said Sixx about the intra- band conflicts. "And we've grown up quite a bit. We get along and we all are focused on Motley Crue and its future."
One major event leading up to Crue Fest was the release of the new Motley Crue CD, "Saints of Los Angeles," which hit the stores last month.
The songs on the disc are "loosely" based on the band's upcoming autobiography "The Dirt," Sixx said.
"It goes back from where we signed our lives to the devil with a recording contract, to getting our rights back and what is happening today," he said.
Recording the album was different than the last Motley Crue album, "Generation Swine," that was released more than a decade ago.
"Mick, who is an encyclopedia of guitar riffs, will lay some tracks down and e-mail them to me," Sixx said. "I'll put some bass lines on them and send lyrics off to Vince. Meanwhile, Tommy will put some drums to them and Vince will sing.
"It's very different than going into a studio and pounding things out. When we made 'Saints of Los Angeles,' we knew what we wanted and there wasn't any wasted time in the studio."
The difficult task was for Sixx, the lyricist.
"After 30 years writing songs, it's not all about 'Oh, baby, baby, baby."' he said. "While Mick can come up with new riffs, I have a hard time writing new words."
As of now, the band is trying to find a partner for a movie based on "The Dirt."
"We're just waiting for MTV to pull its head out," Sixx said. "Sometimes we choose to work with people who we feel are cutting edge, but then we come to realize that they really aren't."
"We supported them for so long," Mars said. "We always tried to plug them. We were the first metal band to say, 'We want our MTV.'"
"But they're not a music channel anymore," Sixx said. "So, we're hoping we can work something out so we can move on and find someone who wants to work with us."
"I hope when the movie is made that some unknown is cast as me," Mars said. "It will be his first and last role he'll ever do."
With the festival, new CD, autobiography and movie plans all done or in the process, the only thing left for Motley Crue is to create an amusement park, Sixx said.
"We can make it an amusement park/funeral home," he said as both he and Mars laughed.

Join us in celebrating the class of 2015! The graduation ceremony is an annual celebration open to all students graduating during the academic year, including summer quarter.
2015 Commencement
Friday June 12 at 1 p.m.
Red Square
For Graduates
Graduation T-shirts will be coming soon. Greener Bookstore donates $5.00 for each t-shirt sold to the 2015 Class Gift which will be donated to Safe Place, a women's shelter in Olympia.
You must apply to graduate! See what you need to do to graduate and participate in commencement.
Apply for graduation by April 15 to get your name in the program. Participation in the ceremony does not mean you have earned your degree and is not your graduation date. Your degree is confirmed after all credit is awarded and degree requirements are met.
About the Ceremony
Evergreen's commencement is held outdoors on Red Square at the center of campus, rain or shine.
The ceremony begins at 1 p.m. and lasts approximately three hours. A reception will follow in the Daniel J. Evans Library Lobby. With 1,000 or more graduates to recognize, we ask that the audience remain seated until the recessional has concluded. The last person recognized deserves the same support, respect, and celebration as the first. Your presence is part of the graduation experience for all. Graduates, families, and friends will appreciate your thoughtfulness.
Tickets are not required. Early arrival is recommended for best seating and parking.
Food will be available for purchase on Red Square and in the adjacent College Activities Building.
Can't attend in person? The commencement ceremony is streamed live.
Parking & Transportation
All parking is free on graduation day. However, more than 7000 people are expected to attend the ceremony and parking will be at maximum capacity.
Download a campus map (PDF) marked with locations for graduation day parking. Marked shuttle vans will run from 11 am to 1:30 pm and from 3 pm to 5 pm between the farthest parking areas (Parking Lot F, meadow parking off Driftwood Road) and the main campus.
Intercity Transit buses also run to the college every 15 minutes between downtown Olympia and the college, and every half hour between Capitol Mall and the college.

Armstrong drops fight against doping charges

In what was billed as a no-holds-barred question-and-answer session, Armstrong admitted to using performance-enhancing drugs, which led to him being stripped of his seven Tour de France titles and banned for life from the sport. The International Olympic Committee also sent a letter to Armstrong on Wednesday night asking him to return his bronze medal from the 2000 Games.
Some highlights of the interview from Thursday night:
Oprah: Did you ever take banned substances to enhance your cycling performance?
Armstrong: Yes.
Oprah: Was one of those banned substances EPO?
Armstrong: Yes.
Oprah: Did you ever blood dope or use blood transfusions to enhance your cycling performance?
Armstrong: Yes.
Oprah: Did you ever use any other banned substance like testosterone, cortisone or human growth hormone?
Armstrong: Yes.
Oprah: In all seven of your Tour de France victories, did you ever take banned substances or blood dope?
Armstrong: Yes.
Oprah: In your opinion, was it humanly possible to win the Tour de France without doping? Seven times in a row?
Armstrong: Not in my opinion.
Oprah: For 13 years you didn't just deny it, you brazenly and defiantly denied everything you just admitted just now. So why now admit it?
Armstrong: That is the best question. It's the most logical question. ... I don't know that I have a great answer. I will start my answer by saying that this is too late. It's too late for probably most people, and that's my fault. I viewed this situation as one big lie that I repeated a lot of times, and as you said, it wasn't as if I just said no and I moved off it.
Oprah: Right, you were defiant. ... You called other people liars.
Armstrong: I understand that. And while I lived through this process, especially the last two years, one year, six months, two, three months, I know the truth. The truth isn't what was out there. The truth isn't what I said, and now it's gone -- this story was so perfect for so long. And I mean that, as I try to take myself out of the situation and I look at it. You overcome the disease, you win the Tour de France seven times. You have a happy marriage, you have children. I mean, it's just this mythic perfect story, and it wasn't true.

Effect of the filter number on macrophage capture by the LeukoCatch. (A) Human macrophage (MONO-MAC-6) cells were examined as a surrogate of leukocytes in the blood. Cells were subjected to serial passage (twice) of the same syringe (LeukoCatch system) that was equipped with 0, 1, 3, 5, 7 or 10 filters. NT signifies the non-treated blood sample. The "0" differs from NT because in "0", the blood sample was passed through the LeukoCatch system with a zero filer. The bar graphs represent the number of macrophage cells (flow-through) that were not captured with the filters. Cell counts were obtained by FACS (n = 4). (B) Western blot analysis by anti-GAPDH and anti-Erk1/2 antibodies using a 5-μL extract (10% of total) of cells escaped from or captured by the indicated numbers of filters in the LeukoCatch. (C) The bar graphs represent the relative intensity of the band signals measured by using the Image-J software, which were given as percentage of the starting material (NT: non-treated).

The Frozen Rabbi: Week 8, Part 2
When you go, Basha Puah says, be sure to take the rabbi with you
Though her mama's own manifest determination to do the same made her reasoning seem somehow redundant, almost as if the crossgrained Basha Puah were physically blocking death's door. Besides, it wasn't so easy to die, and while she tried to resist the nourishment the old vartsfroy prescribed, her body (whose craving for narcotics had been gradually replaced by an appetite for solid food) overcame her mind's obstinacy. Then a literal death seemed frankly not worth the trouble, since she judged herself already as good as kaput. But self-pity aside, her physical survival was a haunting reminder of the dreadful journey her father had made to recover her, barging into an underworld from which he'd shuffled back in his mangled body only, while his soul had perhaps departed along the way. The girl had the mad impulse to return the favor by setting out in search of her father's lost soul, at which point she remembered the old artifact on ice.
He'd been included in her mother's injunctions that she leave behind the slough of the Balut. "And don't forget to take with you your papa's farshlogener rebbe, it should be for you a blessing."
Jocheved was amazed to hear such a thing from her mother's cracked lips, which before had only cursed the icebound ancient as evidence of her papa's narishkeit. Now her insistence that the girl take him with her seemed to signal the extremity of Basha Puah's condition. Jocheved herself had demurred, recalling her father's laughable assertion that all the family's blessings came from the frigid saint. "What blessings?" she would have asked him now. "Our life is an abomination." She remembered how he'd alleged that, if you took care of the rebbe, the rebbe would take care of you. He was convinced that the refrigerated relic gave meaning to their spare existence, as if the old man's rotting crate were not a casket at all but the Ark of the Covenant itself and Salo Frostbissen the high priest charged with its maintenance. It was all claptrap, of course. Moreover, if you had a mind to, there were other means by which you might atone for your sins; there were rituals of purification, scape-beasts you could heap your trespasses upon. But the frozen rabbi was Salo's sole bequest; it was his legacy, and having sullied the name of her family beyond redemption, there remained only one gesture left by which the unclean girl might honor her papa's memory.
Check back tomorrow for the next installment of The Frozen Rabbi. Or, to get each day's installment of The Frozen Rabbi in your inbox, sign up for the Tablet Magazine Daily Digest, and tell your friends.

The Breast Cancer Fund of Ohio is a statewide, independent, not-for-profit organization established in November 2004 and incorporated January 2005. It is the only statewide breast cancer organization that keeps 100% of funds in Ohio.
Formed by survivors, the purpose of the Breast Cancer Fund of Ohio is to distribute funds from the sale of Ohio's Breast Cancer Awareness License Plate to organizations around Ohio for emergency financial assistance to breast cancer patients and to improve access to quality health care and clinical trials.
The idea for the plate surfaced in 2004 when breast cancer advocacy groups saw an increase in appeals from breast cancer patients needing assistance with payment of rent, utility and medical expenses as well as transportation to treatment.
In 2005, Senator Tom Roberts of Dayton and Representative Sandra Harwood of Niles spearheaded passage of legislation to create the Breast Cancer License Plate. Since the plate was introduced in July of that year, nearly 6,000 have been sold.
Each plate purchased generates $25 for the Breast Cancer Fund of Ohio. These funds are used in our efforts to provide emergency, temporary financial assistance and other critical services to breast cancer patients in Ohio.
Research studies have shown that patients who receive quality education and have a strong support system with access to quality care have much higher rates of survival. The ultimate principle of the Fund is to promote timely access to quality breast cancer treatment for all who are diagnosed with this disease.
Breast cancer will not be cured and research cannot advance unless Ohioans have access to quality, affordable breast screening, diagnosis, treatment and follow up care and support services.
The following are Breast Cancer Fund of Ohio's Core Values regarding access to quality breast health care and support services:
The Breast Cancer Fund of Ohio is a 501(c)(3) tax exempt, nonprofit organization. Your donations are tax deductible to the full extent of the law.
Since its inception in 2005, the organization has distributed $639,437 to community organizations to provide critical services to women and men undergoing breast cancer treatment:
The Board of Directors forwards the mission of the Breast Cancer Fund of Ohio: to help Ohio breast cancer patients survive the hardships of cancer treatments by providing emergency, temporary financial assistance.
All board members are required to adhere to the board governance policies, which are reviewed on an annual basis.

I have been an accountant for 35 years. This is the most flagrant abuse of 501(c)3 status that I have ever encountered. The two officers (who happen to be brothers) have hijacked this organization for their personal benefit.

This charity is an absolute scam. It is in the business of entertainment, not education. The officers direct much of the charity's business to a private business that they own.

Breathing for the average human: it's
continual, sustaining, natural; and many of us do it about 21,000 times per day.
Worship for the average Christian: it's sporadic, a temporary high, a conscious effort; and many of us do it about once per week.
With Big Daddy Weave's new album, Every Time I Breathe, the five-member band challenges us to transform our
worship into a life-giving necessity.
"How could I, after knowing One so great respond to You in any way that's less than all I have to give?" sings lead singer/songwriter Mike Weaver in the album's title track. This line sums up the strong suit of the album, its message to live as constant worshippers.
Musically, BDW breaths new life into older songs, such as Holland Davis' "Arise" and Rich Mullins' "Hold Me Jesus." The group kicks out the century-old church organ and plays rounds of rhythmic hand drums, plucking strings and infusing their trademark saxophone to the classic hymn, "Trust and Obey."
But, by the end of the album, you may have to stop and catch your breath. It is full of energy, ready to pack out venues for BDW's renowned live performances.
Lyrically, each song is a reminder of God's purpose for our lives—to worship Him and, as Mike Weaver puts it, "to encounter God every moment, as naturally as taking your next breath."

It's a berry lover's e Cigarette delight! Our popular Premium Mixed Berry Vapor King Cartomizer Sampler includes one of each of the following flavors: Blueberry Cobbler, Raspberry, Strawberry, Peach, and Cherry. Like our other CoolCart cartomizers, these e Cigarette cartomizers run a little cooler than regular premium cartomizers, and their slightly longer length allows them to hold a little more vapor liquid. Each box includes 5 prefilled CoolCart cartomizers.

- Very Fine and Fruity Review by Caitlin
- great sampler pack. a great way to choose an e-liquid flavor or cart Review by Sergio

raspberry: just like the cherry its very light raspberry candy taste 3.8 out of 5
peach: very nice taste not to over powering. taste like peach tea (arizona peach tea) 5 out of 5
Strawberry: great taste if you like strawberries 4 out of 5 (Posted on 11/30/2012)
- It's a great start! Review by MellaBarbarella
Overall: A great assortment of the fruit flavors and gave me a good idea of what I was getting myself into. It's one thing to buy a flavored product based on pictures and reviews, and another to still be satisfied with my order. I tried disposable flavored e-cigs to get a basic taste and these are WAY better. Really happy I got a starter kit.
Peach - By far my favorite. I could smoke this all day, every day. Nice and smooth. Tastes almost exactly like Peach Snapple. I am in love.
Strawberry - Nice Strawberry flavor. Think Strawberry Swisher w/o all the tobacco-y taste.
Blueberry Cobbler - I like this equally as much as Strawberry. No cobbler taste, straight up Blueberry. It is very nice, almost sweet...make sure to have real blueberries near by...
Raspberry & Cherry - I didn't like these two as much. They taste like Chapstick. I love these two flavors as candy but they don't work as CoolCart flavors for me. I will smoke them but they remind me of smoking the way vaseline smells. (Posted on 10/6/2012)
- 4 outta 5 Pretty good Review by TxTunesLady
The low-down
BlueBerry Cobbler: Will be buying this one again and also trying it iin the WOW. There is a difference in to juices so I hope this tastes the same. Point is, LOVE the Blueberry. Upon vaping in, it has a RIPE blueberry taste, not over ripe but almost there, so it still gives it that sweetness. Its not bitter like an OVER ripe blueberry ither. It has a more fruity taste that would be in like ..AH, a blueberry from say an ice cream chain or the food chain that sells the slushy's. Those the a blue raspberry, but this blueberry actually has that taste. Enjoyable for sure!
Raspberry: Has a "certain cough drop taste" that starts with an L. (even though that is a cherry) This has more of the cherry in the cough drop flavor. By no means is it horrible, but remember TASTE is subjective, so for me, it's a good vape to save if I'm running low on my other flavors between shipments.
Strawberry: This is why a star is minus. If you like strawberries and have had other strawberry juices, you might like this, I don't know. As I have not been a fan of strawberry and this is the second strawberry I have tasted. Again my opinion. From a review point: Very light but it is strawberry.
Peach: I have previously had a peach, and so DIDN'T like it, but from here this one is pretty good, it is like the raspberry in my opinion. It's good to hang onto, something I might buy again, just to have something different but it still wont be my first choice for a go to, more as a, just to change if another flavor vaporizes. (pun intended ) :)
Has a sweet, ripe, gentle TH. (not a hard TH, as none of these do in an 11mg)
Cherry: For me, *Subjective taste, Tastes just like my review of above of the Raspberry. The "L" coughdrop flavor, imitation cherry. Not bad, but also something I won't buy again, but of course will use the cart. (Posted on 9/1/2012)

1. Blueberry - Amazing flavor and lots of Vapor!! In my all time top 5.
2. Raspberry - Taste is nice, vapor production is average.
3. Watermelon - like watermelon kool-aid. average vapor production.
4. Dark Choc Rasp - Definitely not bad. its just that the other 3 are VERY tough to compete with. Not a lot of vapor. chocolate inhale, fuity exhale.
5. Strawberry - Flavor is ok. Not really a strawberry taste/smell. average vapor production.
