Fitch Rates $954MM Detroit Retirement Funding Trust 'BBB'; Rating Watch Negative.
The COPs are expected to price on or about June 5 through a syndicate led by UBS Investment Bank and Siebert Brandford Shank & Co., which are serving as co-senior managing underwriters. Robert W. Baird & Co. and Scott Balice Strategies, LLC are serving as financial advisors. These issues will reschedule floating-rate certificates and a portion of fixed-rate certificates to match the 30-year amortization of the police, fire and general retirement systems UAAL.
The 'BBB' rating is based on the City of Detroit, unconditional contractual obligation to make its service payments, which are not subject to appropriation. The city is bound to make its contractual payments to the service corporations for the full term of the contracts. Under the trust agreement, the service corporations will assign their right to receive service payments to the funding trust for the benefit of certificate holders. Failure to make COP service payments when due allows the contract administrator to file a lawsuit against the city to enforce payment of the contractual obligation. A court may require the city to raise the payment through a tax levy without limitation as to rate or amount. Voter approval would not be necessary to levy such supplemental taxes. This transaction does not affect normal annual pension payments, just the scheduled payments which financed the unfunded accrued liabilities. Proceeds are deposited with the pensions systems and managed the same as other assets.
The transaction is designed to reduce the annual funding cost of the unfunded liability; minimize financial risk; and incorporate new amortization schedules of the unfunded liability.
The Michigan Constitution and the Home Rule City Act enable the city to establish the pension systems and provide for their funding. The obligation to fund normal and unfunded accrued pension liabilities is further clarified through Shelby Township Police and Fire Retirement Board v. Shelby Township and the Public Employees System Investment Act. The Detroit City Council in February 2005 adopted ordinances that provided for the alternative pension liability funding.
The city has two retirement systems: the General Retirement System (GRS) and the Police and Fire Retirement System (PFRS). Each has a strong history of pension funding and rapid amortization of the unfunded liabilities. As recently as 2002, the GRS was 91.6% funded and the PFRS, 103.2%. The estimated funding for 2004 was 73% for the GRS and 79.7% for the PFRS, both primarily due to diminished asset value. The estimated unfunded liability for fiscal 2004 (June 30 year-end) was $1.7 billion, from $1.3 billion in fiscal 2003. The sharp increase in the UAAL was due primarily to the recognition of investment losses. Through the pension certificates, the funding improved to 96.3% in fiscal 2005 in the GRS and 99% for the PFRS; the unfunded liability in fiscal 2005 for both systems totals $147.6 million. Although at the time of the 2005 pension certificates the city had not completed its negotiations with both retirement systems' boards to extend the pension amortization period, it structured the deal with floating-rate notes, anticipating the restructuring of the certificates. State law and GASB require pension liability funding of no more than 30 years.
GRS Service Corporation and PFRS Service Corporation are nonprofit corporations formed by the city to receive COP service payments. The service corporations irrevocably assign to a funding trust (formed under the trust agreement) all rights to receive, collect and enforce all COP service payments. Since the service corporations are not expected to have an active role, the funding trust and service corporations will enter a contract administration agreement with the U.S. Bank N.A., the contract administrator. Interest rate swaps will change effectively the variable-rate certificates to a fixed obligation. The funding trust issues the certificates to the certificate holders and the city makes debt service payments through the contract administrator and funding trust to the certificate holders. Proceeds of the certificates flow through the service corporations to the two pension systems.
Through an interest rate swap, the LIBOR-indexed floating-rate certificates (FRCs) will be swapped into fixed payments. After a short lock-out period, the FRCs are callable at par on interest payment dates. Unlike other variable-rate transactions, which have various term structures that may change and require liquidity support, the FRCs have interest rates that fluctuate with the three-month LIBOR rate on U.S. dollar deposits plus a margin. The actual rate is set by the contract administrator each quarter according to LIBOR rates available through Moneyline Telerate, Inc. A liquidity provider is not necessary for the transaction since there is no remarketing or liquidity risk. Since the rate is tied to LIBOR, there is no basis risk. The counterparty is not selected yet, but is expected to meet high-quality standards and must post collateral.

Those who spend time at the Active Day Senior Care Center on 431 North, got a special surprise visit from the Logan County Public Library recently, bringing ice cream for all to enjoy.
The library is one of many community partners who come out to the center volunteering time as well as entertainment with those who stay there during the day.
Tammy Dauley, Center Director at the center, said they have many in the community providing support to the center monthly.
"We are extremely blessed with lots of folks from the community coming to our center to do a variety of activities for our clients," said Dauley. "They always bring goodies for us and bring the supplies for a craft and help the clients with the craft."
Dauley says since the center does not have transportation, the clients rarely get to go on field trips, so she loves to have the community some and visit.
"We have to rely on adaptive enterprise to transport our clients to the center, but this doesn't include field trips," said Dauley. "If anyone wishes to stop by, we would welcome the visit. We love visitors."
Some of the community partners who visit the center include: First General Baptist Church and Townsend Grove Baptist Church, who brings prizes and plays bingo with clients; Grace Baptist Church, who sings and plays instruments; Elk Lick Baptist Church, who sings and shares a devotion; Beverly, Kay and Lois, who offer Karaoke; Paige with he extension office provides a nutrition class monthly; Angie Jenkins, who comes and gives hair cuts; Deven with Kindred comes in to do bingo; Clay Bilyeu and Timmy Parrish and friends come to sing and the Logan County Public Library.
There are many others who have donated books, puzzles, bingo prizes, etc. The library donated two book shelves, along with books and puzzles.
"This is one way to do what we call, "Community Sharing," said Dauley.
The center is open Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. If you would like a spot monthly or be placed on the calendar, please contact Christy Wright at 270-726-2100, or if you want, just drop by and visit at 3239 Lewisburg Road, Russellville.

The centers are staffed with attentive and caring professionals who provide health care supervision, engaging therapeutic activity programs and rehabilitative therapies in a comfortable, homelike environment. The primary focus is helping clients achieve a marked improvement in their overall quality of life, health care and daily functioning while providing respite and peace of mind for their caregivers.
Adult Day health services are designed to improve the quality of life for disabled adults, the elderly and their families by providing a daily program of health services in an enjoyable, safe, home-like environment.
With a professionally managed adult day health service program, frail adults maintain Independence and dignity and caregivers enjoy the peace of mind which comes from knowing their loved one is receiving the appropriate level of care.
Active Day centers are for individuals who require health care and support services as a result of chronic conditions including: Alzheimer's, COPD, stoke, dementia, seizures, traumatic brain injury, Parkinson's, diabetes or developmental and intellectual disabilities.
Active Day centers offer many distinct advantages and the most cost-effective option for long-term care. While costs differ based on care level and geographic region, nationwide averages show that the annual cost for adult day health services are significantly less than those for other long-term care options. Registered nurses, personal acre assistants, activities staff and therapists help clients maintain the best possible quality of life while also offering respite for family caregivers.
In many cases, the services may be paid in pat or in full by Medicaid, Veterans Administration or private long-term care insurance, although coverage varies by state and policy. Keep in mind as well that out-of-pocket expenditures may qualify as a tax-deductible medical expense.

Rebuilding Iraq:
More Comprehensive National Strategy Needed to Help Achieve U.S. Goals

According to the National Strategy for Victory in Iraq (NSVI) issued by the National Security Council (NSC), prevailing in Iraq is a vital U.S. interest because it will help win the war on terror and make America safer, stronger, and more certain of its future. This report (1) assesses the evolving U.S. national strategy for Iraq and (2) evaluates whether the NSVI and its supporting documents address the desirable characteristics of an effective national strategy developed by GAO in previous work. In this report, the NSVI and supporting documents are collectively referred to as the U.S. strategy for Iraq.
The November 2005 National Strategy for Victory in Iraq and supporting documents incorporate the same desired end-state for U.S. stabilization and reconstruction operations that were first established by the coalition in 2003: a peaceful, united, stable, and secure Iraq, well integrated into the international community, and a full partner in the global war on terrorism. However, it is unclear how the United States will achieve its desired end-state in Iraq given the significant changes in the assumptions underlying the U.S. strategy. The original plan assumed a permissive security environment. However, an increasingly lethal insurgency undermined the development of effective Iraqi government institutions and delayed plans for an early transfer of security responsibilities to the Iraqis. The plan also assumed that U.S. reconstruction funds would help restore Iraq's essential services to prewar levels, but Iraq's capacity to maintain, sustain, and manage its rebuilt infrastructure is still being developed. Finally, the plan assumed that the Iraqi government and the international community would help finance Iraq's development needs, but Iraq has limited resources to contribute to its own reconstruction, and Iraq's estimated future needs vastly exceed what has been offered by the international community to date. The NSVI is an improvement over previous planning efforts. However, the NSVI and its supporting documents are incomplete because they do not fully address all the desirable characteristics of an effective national strategy. On one hand, the strategy's purpose and scope is clear because it identifies U.S. involvement in Iraq as a vital national interest and central front in the war on terror. The strategy also generally addresses the threats and risks facing the coalition forces and provides a comprehensive description of the desired U.S. political, security, and economic objectives in Iraq. On the other hand, the strategy falls short in three key areas. First, it only partially identifies the current and future costs of U.S. involvement in Iraq, including the costs of maintaining U.S. military operations, building Iraqi government capacity at the provincial and national level, and rebuilding critical infrastructure. Second, it only partially identifies which U.S. agencies implement key aspects of the strategy or resolve conflicts among the many implementing agencies. Third, it neither fully addresses how U.S. goals and objectives will be integrated with those of the Iraqi government and the international community, nor does it detail the Iraqi government's anticipated contribution to its future security and reconstruction needs. In addition, the elements of the strategy are dispersed among the NSVI and seven supporting documents, further limiting its usefulness as a planning and oversight tool.
Recommendation for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: Following the issuance of our report, the National Security Council, Departments of State and Defense, and other agencies added specific information to a classified progress matrix for the National Strategy for Victory in Iraq. The specific information includes elements we recommended, such as costs and resources needed to implement the strategy; identification of specific agencies and offices with concrete taskings to implement the strategy; and potential contributions from the Iraqi governments and international community.
Recommendation: To help improve the strategy's effectiveness as a planning tool and to improve its usefulness to Congress, the National Security Council should, in conjunction with the Department of Defense and the Department of State, complete the strategy by addressing all six characteristics of an effective national strategy in a single document. In particular, the revised strategy should address the current costs and future military and civilian resources needed to implement the strategy, clarify the roles and responsibilities of all U.S. government agencies involved in reconstruction and stabilization efforts, and detail potential Iraqi and international contributions to future military and reconstruction needs.

Guy Boucher feels Game 6 ref has been 'lopsided' in favor of Bruins
|05.25.11 at 2:02 pm ET
TAMPA — Guy Boucher is aware of a lot of things, a long list that even includes phantom Tim Thomas quotes. Given that, it should come as no surprise that he is aware that Eric Furlatt, one of the referees for Wednesday's Game 6, has been much nicer to the Bruins this postseason than he has been to the Lightning.
The Lightning coach — without mentioning Furlatt by name — noted on Wednesday that Furlatt has called 24 penalties against Tampa, as opposed to nine against Boston during the playoffs.
"Twenty-four to nine against, right?" Boucher said when asked if Furlatt's officiating has been lopsided. "Yes, I'm aware of it. Very aware of it. Very, very aware of it. It has been part of our discussions quite a few times in the last games we did have that particular ref, and it is lopsided.
"The only thing we can control is what we do on the ice and hope that things will be fair like it is with everybody else."
Furlatt has only officiated one game this series, which was Game 2. In that contest, eight penalties were called on the Lightning, and six were called on the Bruins.

Minutes of Fed policy meeting show sharp divisions
WASHINGTON Federal Reserve officials seem far from a consensus on the question that's consumed investors for months: When will the Fed slow its bond purchases?
Minutes of their June 18-19 policy meeting released Wednesday show many of the 19 officials felt the job market's gains would have to be sustained before the Fed would scale back its bond purchases, which have helped support spending and growth, lifted stocks and kept mortgage rates near record lows.
Later in the day, Chairman Ben Bernanke stressed that the economy still needs support from the Fed's low-rate policies. Speaking in Cambridge, Mass., to the National Bureau of Economic Research, Bernanke noted that unemployment remains high and that higher taxes and federal spending cuts are weighing on growth.
"A highly accommodative monetary policy for the foreseeable future is what is needed for the U.S. economy," Bernanke said.
It was his latest effort to emphasize to investors that even after the Fed has begun to slow its bond purchases, it will continue to stimulate the economy.
At the June policy meeting, many Fed officials thought the purchases should extend into 2014, according to a summary of economic forecasts that are released with the minutes. Still, several thought a slowdown in purchases could start soon.
And one faction backed an aggressive timetable: According to a summary of economic forecasts released with the minutes, about half the "participants" favored ending the bond purchases late this year - months earlier than Bernanke has indicated. Participants include voting and non-voting officials on the Fed's policy committee.
The divisions revealed Wednesday reflect the difficulty investors have had deciphering the Fed's intentions. Bernanke has carved out a measured stance: At a news conference last month, he said the Fed would likely slow its bond purchases later this year and end them around mid-2014 if the economy continued to strengthen. The Fed has been buying $85 billion in Treasury and mortgage bonds each month since late last year.
Most investors and analysts interpreted Bernanke's remarks to mean the Fed would likely announce after its September meeting that it will scale back its bond buying.
Many Fed officials favor Bernanke's approach. But the minutes were a reminder that some officials feel Bernanke's timetable for slowing the bond buying is too cautious.
Some analysts think the Fed, in the end, will back the chairman's notion of slowing its bond purchases later this year- if the outlook for the economy continues to strengthen.
The minutes suggest that a slowdown in the bond buying in September "is not quite a done deal," said Michael Hanson, U.S. economist at Bank of America Merrill Lynch. "For a taper in September, we may still need to see some more improvement in the economy."
Yet even the analysts differ. Dana Saporta, an economist at Credit Suisse, said she still thinks the Fed will start pulling back its purchases in September.
The jobs report for June, which was released Friday, "went at least some way towards satisfying those who were looking for more improvement in labor market conditions," Saporta said.

Think of your business like the universe.
At the center of the universe is the sun. All other bodies gravitate around it and rely on the sun for sustenance.
Not to feed your ego too much, but in your small business, you are like the sun. Your employees rely on you for guidance and financial wellbeing. Your actions and intentions are important, and if you let your emotions get in the way of being the boss, things can get ugly.
Bosses who are unhappy and stressed in the workplace will create a similar environment in the workplace, leading to unhappy and stressed employees. When employees experience this type of environment, they might start looking for new jobs. It's important to foster a positive environment, so your employees stay happy and committed to your establishment.
Why negativity in the workplace is an awful idea
According to Sigal Barsade, a Wharton management professor who has studied the effects of emotions, people "Engage in emotional contagion. Emotions travel from person to person like a virus."
The emotions employees feel play a direct part in how well they do their job.
Additional research, from the Journal of Business and Psychology, says that negativity at work can come home with employees and affect an entire household or family. All of this negativity and stress can even lead to health problems like heart disease.
On the other hand, if a company is supportive of its employees, the likelihood of fostering a happy staff is high.
Although you may not have needed statistics to realize that negativity at the workplace can create a poor working environment, the data does surely exist.
So how you can avoid becoming a toxic boss? Let's take a look at some suggestions.
Ways to Communicate Effectively
According to Psycholawlogy, there are two main ways that bosses affect employees: performance evaluation and interaction related anxiety. Therefore, learning to communicate with employees while addressing these areas is key.
One method related to performance evaluation is to share praise with your employees when it is deserved. If you notice an employee is going above and beyond for the company, communicate that you appreciate the effort. If an employee successfully up-sells customers on new menu items, or increases cash register sales, congratulate them and ask them to share their secrets.
If the time comes to help an employee improve in part of the job, use positive reinforcement in the process by pointing out the good that the employee does. "I love the way you speak with our customers. They clearly feel appreciated when they are in here," might be how you start the conversation. Then you can dive into an area where the employee can improve. "Do you feel comfortable with the payment processing equipment? I can show you how to use it more easily." In this scenario, you aren't outwardly saying the employee is doing a bad job; you're simply helping improve the skill set and asking questions to determine their discomfort with areas of the job.
If you ask your employees questions on their performance instead of directly criticizing the way they work, they will feel more comfortable communication with you. This ultimately will take the stress and anxiety away from the communication process.
How to Keep Your Stress Levels Down
We understand that you have the most stressful job at the establishment. You have to worry about paying the bills, paying your employees, and doing enough business so that you can pay yourself.
It's a tough job, but you've decided to do it. In order to keep your own emotions in check, here are a few suggestions:
- Take some time for yourself, especially when things get stressful.
- Practice forms of stress reduction like deep breathing, listening to soothing music, and mindfulness. We've written about some of these strategies in a past article.
- Take vacation time when possible.
- If you find yourself stressing employees significantly take a walk to cool down.
- Put the stress energy into something else, like exercise.
It's important to surround yourself with great employees. If you have employees that are constantly stressing you out, then they probably don't belong in your business. However, if you want your best employees to stick around, you'll need to be a levelheaded leader.
When the going gets tough, the best, most-respected leaders step to the plate, handle the stress and don't take it out on their employees. How do you keep calm under pressure? Please share your tips with the community!

LeBron powers Heat to OT win against Celtics
More News from Cebu Daily News
Boston — LeBron James scored 35 points and grabbed 14 rebounds to lead Miami to a 98-90 overtime victory over the Boston Celtics yesterday and give the Heat a 3-1 lead in the Eastern Conference semifinals.
Dwyane Wade scored 28 with nine rebounds and Chris Bosh had 20 points and 12 rebounds for Miami, which could eliminate the defending conference champions and advance to the East finals with a victory in Game 5 in Miami on Wednesday night.
James, Wade and Bosh scored 83 of Miami's 98 points and had 35 of its 45 rebounds.
Paul Pierce scored 27, Ray Allen had 17 and Kevin Garnett had seven points and 10 rebounds for Boston.
James made up for a turnover at the end of regulation with a fallaway jumper to start overtime and give Miami the lead for good. The Celtics scored just four points in overtime, shooting 1 for 6 and making four of their 18 turnovers.
Rajon Rondo, who dislocated his left elbow Saturday night in Game 3, played 39 minutes with a padded sleeve covering what appeared to be a brace on his left arm, scoring 10 with five assists.
Thunder 133,
Grizzlies 123, 3OT
At Memphis, Tennessee, Kevin Durant scored six of his 35 points in the third overtime as Oklahoma City survived a thriller to hold off Memphis in a game that ended yesterday morning.
With the victory, the Thunder grabbed back home-court advantage and tied this Western Conference semifinal at two games apiece.
Game 5 is tonight back in Oklahoma City. The winner of the series will play the Dallas Mavericks in the conference finals.
The finish couldn't have been more exciting in the second straight overtime game in this series. The sellout crowd stood through each overtime, though fans started trickling toward the exits as the clock ticked past midnight locally.
Russell Westbrook led the Thunder with 40 points. James Harden added 19, and Daequan Cook had 10. /ap

Angry members of the northeastern community protested in the capital on Saturday after it emerged that a minor girl from Manipur was raped by her landlord's son in south Delhi's Munirka area late on Friday.
The rape brought back memories of the gruesome December 16, 2012 gang rape of a 23-year-old medical student in a moving bus, which she had boarded from the same neighbourhood. The community, already angry over the death of Arunachal Pradesh student Nido Taniam, who was beaten up by locals after an altercation over his looks and clothes, gathered outside Vasant Vihar police station demanding justice.
Earlier, the police arrested 18-year-old accused, Ashish Tokas (Vicky) for raping the 14-year-old, who stays with her aunt and uncle, helping them run their ornament shop in Rama Market. The girl was returning home after buying soap at around 10:30pm when the accused held her head in his arm and dragged her inside his house. The police claimed that no family member was present on the first floor of the house. The accused slapped and thrashed the girl before raping her. He let her go at around 12:30am.
The girl, in a delirious state was unable to get a sense of what had happened to her and couldn't even locate her home as she struggled for direction. A local juice seller spotted her and helped her with the assistance of a few other members of the northeastern community. By the time the girl reached home, it was 3am.
Later, she narrated the ordeal to her family, who helped her identify the place of the incident. The police was informed and a case under sections 376 (rape), 323 (causing hurt), 342 (illegal confinement), 506 (criminal intimidation) of the Indian Penal Code and several sections of the Protection Of Children from Sexual Offenses Act, 2012 was registered. CCTV footage gathered from the spot established that the accused indeed dragged the girl. Preliminary investigation reveal that he was under the influence of alcohol.
Even though the girl had not received major injuries, she was unable to come out of shock. Experts who counseled her said that she faced difficulty in talking hours after the incident. The girl's family alleged that the police tried to harass them, threatening to slap a case of child labour against them for employing a minor. "The police tried to fix all the responsibility at the family members. Later, they sensed that the matter was too sensitive to be hushed and registered a case," Timothy, a Manipuri student activist told dna.
By Saturday afternoon, scores of northeastern students and students from Jawaharlal Nehru University protested at Vasant Vihar police station for extended hours demanding justice and a copy of the FIR. They blocked Nelson Mandela marg, which leads to upscale shopping malls, for the entire afternoon, causing huge traffic snarls on the outer ring road. The angry protesters even had a scuffle with the policemen guarding the police station.
The latest crime against has left the community with uneasy and unanswered questions about their security and safety in New Delhi. A recent survey conducted by the Center for North East Studies and Policy Research, and which was sponsored by the National Commission for Women, found that nearly 81 per cent of northeastern women face discrimination in the capital.

Hermit crab like this
posted 7 years ago
These little ramp pools are just the right depth for a hermit crab--too deep and they can drown. The ramp gives them some space to get some of the sand off before getting in the water, which helps with clean up a bit. My only problem was getting the crabs to use it. Eventually they grew used to it.
Pros: Easy to clean and provide water
Cons: Doesn't hold a lot of water, Gotta get the crab to use it

Basically it shows he was complicit in her being totally messed up on drugs a month before she gave birth... a little 9 year old girl who is over visiting begs him to take Anna to the hospital... he says on camera "this footage is worth a lot of money" ... it also shows that he took a photograph of a grief-stricken Anna embracing her recently-deceased son while he is lying in the hospital bed that he died in minutes earlier...
im sure he forced her to take drugs
The little girl has said she witnessed Howard administering "medicine" to Anna while she was over visiting... and Anna went from being lucid to absolutely looney... All the while being filmed by Howard K. Stern.
You can always count on your attorney to get your prescriptions filled for you, administer your "medicine," and videotape you stumbling around talking to a plastic baby as if it is real, all the while talking about "how much money the footage he is shooting is worth."

Pennies for Peace | by
Dr. Greg Mortenson wrote Three Cups of Tea and other books that describe his life's work with building schools for girls in Afghanistan.
It is his belief that if girls become educated, war will end. In Afghanistan the government provides schools for boys but not for girls.
GFWC Ossoli Circle members brought pennies to club meetings this year in support of Mortenson's "Pennies for Peace" project.
Hundreds of schools have been built with pennies donated by many organizations, and thousands of young women have been educated by his remarkable vision.
The donation will be mailed to the Central Asia Institute, PO Box 7209, Bozeman, MT 59771.

Journal Sentinel sports columnist Bob Wolfley offers his take on the local and national sports scene.
Radio station WSSP dismisses morning co-host Russell
WSSP-AM (1250) on Tuesday dismissed sports director and morning show co-host Doug Russell.
Russell had been co-host with Mike Wickett of "The Doug and Mike Show" weekdays from 5 to 9 a.m. on the station. Russell joined WSSP in January 2007.
WSSP is one of three Milwaukee radio stations that features sports talk programming.
Russell could not be reached for comment Tuesday.
Wickett returned a reporter's call Tuesday afternoon, saying that Russell was no longer with the station. Wickett declined to comment further, directing a reporter's questions to program director Tom Parker.
"He was severed per our contractual arrangement," Parker said in a phone interview. "So I guess in sort of baseball terminology, he was released.
"There was no disagreement or anything, we were just making a change," Parker said.
Russell's last show was Tuesday morning.
"We spoke to him shortly after that and let him know what was to go on going forward," Parker said. "And we basically had a brief conversation about it. We are grateful for his service over the past four years or so, and we wish him well in the future."
Parker was asked why Russell was dismissed.
"Simply to take the show in a different direction," Parker said. "It's a dynamic business. Change is inevitable. We have to try to make the best business decisions and one of the decisions we made is to move in a different direction. And that would be without him. Kind of standard stuff for the business these days."
Parker said producer Chuck Freimund will take on a larger role on the morning show, which is now called the "Chuck and Wickett" show.
"Chuck has always been part of the show, in a producer role and maybe a sideman role," Parker said. "He will step up and be a little more foreground. He'll still do the updates every half-hour and take a little bit more foreground role. But Mike will be the lead man."
Before joining WSSP, Russell worked for Sporting News Radio. Earlier in his career he worked for WTMJ-AM (620) in Milwaukee.

Understanding the Chinese Language
A Comprehensive Linguistic Introduction
By Chris Shei
Routledge – 2015 – 384 pages
Routledge – 2015 – 384 pages
Understanding the Chinese Language provides a vibrant and comprehensive introduction to contemporary Chinese linguistics. Combining an accessible style with an in-depth treatment of the topics at hand, it uses clear, full descriptions and vivid, modern examples to systematically take students through the phonology, vocabulary, grammar, discourse structures and pragmatics of modern Chinese. No prior knowledge of Chinese or linguistics is required.
Features include:
Written by a highly experienced instructor, researcher and linguist, Understanding the Chinese Language will be essential reading for undergraduate and postgraduate students taking courses in Chinese linguistics. It will also be of interest to anyone interested in learning more about Chinese language and culture.
"Understanding the Chinese Language is an excellent introductory textbook for Chinese linguistics. This book provides a systematic, in-depth, and seminal explanation of Chinese linguistics and its efforts in comparing English and Chinese and using vivid and authentic examples make it very accessible." Han Luo, Northwestern University, USA
"Teaching Chinese linguistics can be very challenging but this book has made the task a lot easier. Dr Shei's use of authentic data (language used on TV reality shows and messages on social networks) to illustrate how the Chinese language really works is highly effective. He skilfully adopts various linguistic frameworks to examine Chinese sentence types. He also proposes new approaches, which include using concepts to define Chinese lexical items (i.e. words). Anybody who is interested in understanding how the Chinese language works will benefit from reading this book." Kan Qian, The Open University, UK.

Jahna Peloquin, writing for the l'etoile magazine blog, has an extensive review of the Goldstein's 2010 fundraiser, the "Dig Design" Garden Party. "Though unlike previous years, it was not held outdoors in a garden (which seemed kind of against the point), it still provided a great chance to mingle with the Goldstein's members, see the latest fashions from local luminaries Joynoelle and Russell Bourrienne, and hear about the latest gardening trends from longtime Minneapolis gardening expert Bobby Jensen," writes Peloquin.

Jean-Pierre Dionnet
Jean-Pierre Dionnet (born November 25, 1947) is a French cartoonist and TV presenter. He has also worked as an author (in Les Humanoïdes Associés), journalist, editor, producer/distributor of films and blogger.
He was the co-founder of the comics magazine Métal Hurlant in 1974. His works include Exterminateur 17, with art by Enki Bilal.
Jean-Pierre Dionnet was born November 25, 1947 in Paris, and at that time there was still ration, so he spent the first five years in the Creuse. Until the year of 1968, he had continued without ever being able to catch up on his high school education, and he had only one goal at that time. His goal in life was to enter the world of comics. In the meantime of becoming a comic artist, he was a broker on the weekend, and he was also a bookstore clerk in the first rendition of Futuropolis. In the year of 1968, Jean-Pierre Dionnet was between the newspaper "Driver," where he wrote scripts for Solé, Got, Druillet, Moebius, Goetzinger, and Bilal.[1]

Solar-powered underwater robot inspired by the sunfish
A real-life mola, basking in the sun (Photo: Shutterstock)
Scientists have created a solar-powered swimming underwater robot, inspired by the ocean sunfish
The Mola with its attachable tail of solar panels
Article Summary
Previously, we've seen swimming robots inspired by the cow-nosed ray, the black ghost knife fish, and the jellyfish – to name just a few. Now, the engineers at AeroVironment have taken it upon themselves to replicate the mola (also known as the ocean sunfish), and the result is an ocean-going robot that gathers its own solar power.

SEATTLE -- After months of debate and postponed votes, the Seattle Public School Board is expected to take action Wednesday on cutting $2.9 million from its transportation budget. Budget cuts and school bus services have drawn criticism from some parents.
The new and revised budget cuts and service changes come after the board asked the transportation committee to go back and tweak some boundaries, which has been a big issue for some parents.
Under the new proposal, district spokesperson Teresa Wippel says the biggest move is to push bus arrival times 10 minutes later for all schools in the Seattle Public School district. That means buses will arrive at high schools and middle schools at 7:45 a.m. and depending on which elementary school a child attends, bus arrival times will be either 8:35 a.m. or 9:25 a.m.
This will push back all school start times whether a child takes the bus or not. And for students who attend high school, the new proposal is to shrink walk zones from 2.5 miles to 2 miles. Wippel says more students will be getting ORCA cards from the district to ride Metro buses not a yellow bus.
If this passes, the district expects 1,000 students will be taking Metro buses to school. Some parents have voiced concerns these proposed changes would mess up families morning routine.
The district is facing an $18 million - $19 million dollar budget shortfall. Cuts are necessary and transportation is the largest chunk of its budget, according to Wippel.
The Seattle Public School board is expected to vote on the transportation cuts and changes at Wednesday's board meeting which starts at 4:15 p.m.

BMC Medical Research Methodology 2012, 12:140 doi:10.1186/1471-2288-12-140Published: 12 September 2012
The Drug Effectiveness Review Project was initiated in 2003 in response to dramatic increases in the cost of pharmaceuticals, which lessened the purchasing power of state Medicaid budgets. A collaborative group of state Medicaid agencies and other organizations formed to commission high-quality comparative effectiveness reviews to inform evidence-based decisions about drugs that would be available to Medicaid recipients. The Project is coordinated by the Center for Evidence-based Policy (CEbP) at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU), and the systematic reviews are undertaken by the Evidence-based Practice Centers (EPCs) at OHSU and at the University of North Carolina. The reviews adhere to high standards for comparative effectiveness reviews. Because the investigators have direct, regular communication with policy-makers, the reports have direct impact on policy and decision-making, unlike many systematic reviews. The Project was an innovator of methods to involve stakeholders and continues to develop its methods in conducting reviews that are highly relevant to policy-makers. The methods used for selecting topics, developing key questions, searching, determining eligibility of studies, assessing study quality, conducting qualitative and quantitative syntheses, rating the strength of evidence, and summarizing findings are described. In addition, our on-going interactions with the policy-makers that use the reports are described.
