On Tap Today: I love a parade
Did you survive your polar bear dip? Or did you just watch and shake your head? Either way, it's on to day two of the New Year. There's not much going on -- unless you count the Rosebowl!
It's Rosebowl Day of course, and that means the 123rd annual Tournament of Roses Parade -- televised at 10 a.m. on ABC, NBC and HGTV. After that, it's the Rosebowl at 4 p.m., Wisconsin vs. Oregon (but you knew that), on ESPN.
Other telly events tonight include a few season premieres -- "The Bachelor" at 7 p.m. on ABC, "Antiques Roadshow" at 7 p.m. on PBS (a preview from TV Guide: appraisers visit Tulsa, Okla., "where the owner of Chinese rhino-horn drinking cups learns he may be a millionaire") and "Unsung" at 9 p.m. on TV One. »Read Full Blog Post(2)
On Tap Today: Hazy on the winter thing
So ... this is what winter's like. Huh. Go figure.
Well, there's no sense in getting blue about it. Unless, of course, you're the Blue Man Group -- the national touring company is back in town, starting today, for a string of shows through Jan. 8 at the Marcus Center. Former Wisconsinite Kalen Allmandinger, who's been a Blue Man since 2000, promises a theatrical show with as much heart as pyrotechnics.
Also coming back to town: Camper Van Beethoven, the alt-indie rockers who helped define the term in the 1980s. David Lowery & Co. reunited a few years ago with a new album and a touring gig that brings them to Shank Hall tonight at 8.
He's not coming back -- he's been here. Local music fixture Sigmund Snopek sits in at Linneman's in Riverwest to take the chill off, or put it back on, depending on which of his many musical hats he chooses to wear. Cap off your night by stopping by; he takes the stage at 10.
On Tap for Today: A cappella style Queen and a tribute to Elvis
Let's start with clearing out the old and work our way into adjusting to the new.
Whole Foods, 2305 N. Prospect, will accept your old strands of Christmas lights to be recycled.
Now to the fun stuff. »Read Full Blog Post
On Tap Today: The art of the deal
Here in the land of the free, we love a good deal.
One of the best in town is the Milwaukee Art Museum's Target Free First Thursdays, which offers free admission to individuals and families on the first Thursday of the month. Bonus: The art museum has later hours on Thursday, open from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. As the Journal Sentinel's Jan Uebelherr notes, it's a great way to catch the museum's Impressionism show, which ends Sunday.
If you're looking for a different kind of deal, it might be over at the Frontier Airlines Center, where the Metropolitan Builders Association's 2012 Home Building & Remodeling Expo starts at 4 p.m. today. Admission Thursday and Friday is buy-one-get-one-free. »Read Full Blog Post
On Tap Today: From Boop to chips
If your 2012 event calendar isn't completely filled in yet, then there are some must-do doings to plan for in our state. Yes, time to practice your boop-boop-be-doops for Betty Boop Fest, and your "Arrrrs" for Pirate Festival and your -- well, we're not exactly sure what sounds to make for Cow Chip Festival. But you can find out more about these unusual events in our Weekend Cue roundup. (Here's a picture to help you get your Boop eyelashes on just right.)
Then, I spy with my little eye a new adaptation of the classic John le Carré espionage masterpiece, "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy." But how does this film stack up against the 1979 mini-series? Find out what kind of spymaster tricks Gary Oldman brings to the screen in Movie Critic Duane Dudek's review of the film. »Read Full Blog Post
On Tap Today: Be it resolved
Welcome to the second week of 2012! The new year is still so very young, and so are those resolutions. The new year has a way of getting people to reassess their lives from top to bottom, and that of course includes food and exercise.
Here's some help with that:
Stretch and be serene this morning with Hatha Yoga at the Schlitz Audubon Nature Center in Bayside. The class runs from 9:15 to 10 a.m.; a second class is held from 5:45 to 7 p.m. The first class is free. Call (414) 352-2880 for more. »Read Full Blog Post
On Tap for Today: The Bucks, jazz and what the moon can teach us
Believe it or not, it's a Tuesday in January. In Wisconsin.
Need proof? Dennis Hawk presents January's Moon Time Teachings at the Schlitz Audubon Center in Bayside. It starts at 7 p.m.
The Bucks take on the San Antonio Spurs at 7 p.m. at the Bradley Center. Expect Bucks center Andrew Bogut to be back on the court tonight. »Read Full Blog Post
On Tap for Today: Music for hump day
If you like a soundtrack to carry you through the midweek, you're in luck.
But first, a stop for art and a look at the works of 23 Wisconsin artists in "All Things Big and Small" in Cedarburg.
You can hear music on your lunch hour. Daniel Beliavsky and Yuri Beliavsky perform at 12:15 at the Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist. »Read Full Blog Post
On Tap Today: Snow what?
So, it's going to snow today. It's not like we haven't heard that before.
Instead of working up a sweat shoveling, you can always watch some other guys work up a sweat. The Bucks take on the Pistons tonight at the Bradley Center, while across the street, the UWM Panthers battle Wright State in Horizon League action at the U.S. Cellular Arena.
Speaking of hard-working, the Swedish headbangers In Flames are at the Rave, with Trivium opening.
If the snow really does start to pile up, it'll be worth checking to see whether it's affecting other doings around the area tonight. You can check here for closings and reschedulings.
On Tap Today: Mix it up
Snow, wind, cold — not the kind of mix we take to. We're thinking instead of a mix of foods that provides healthy surprises even in a sports bar atmosphere. How about a menu that blends Asian-inspired small plates with a dash of Latin and Italian offerings? That's what Dining Critic Carol Deptolla discovered at Juto Asian Fusion restaurant. Find out if she thinks that combination works.
Then, even in Hollywood, things often get real. In "The Iron Lady," Meryl Streep plays the woman Queen Elizabeth thought wanted to replace her on the British throne — Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. But at Oscar time, does it pay to play Marilyn Monroe or J. Edgar Hoover, or Malcolm X or any other real-life person? Writer Christopher Foran reveals his take on that topic in Weekend Cue.
We're not done with Streep/Thatcher yet; Film Critic Duane Dudek reviews "The Iron Lady" here. But there's another Queen — as in Latifah — and her partnership with Dolly Parton in another movie "Joyful Noise" that we want to hear more about. Here's a review of that particular combo.
All this makes for quite the Friday mix. Speaking of — what the hey is it doing outside now?!
On Tap for Today: Reflection, book tour, theater and basketball
It's Martin Luther King Day.
There's a prayer service scheduled for tonight at St. Michael's Church. You'll find details here.
Here are a couple of things that could help jump start your week. Matt Hilton talks about his book "Dead Men's Harvest" tonight at Mystery One Bookshop. »Read Full Blog Post
On Tap Today: Boo Radley, the Bard and the military-industrial complex
All this cold and snow (finally). It sure makes a person want to, you know, curl up with a good yarn. Happily, there's no shortage of that today.
For starters, reflect on "To Kill a Mockingbird." The Harper Lee novel is the National Endowment for the Arts Big Read selection. Discuss the book, including the puzzling Boo Radley character, at 6:30 p.m. tonight at the Bay View Library, 2566 S. Kinnickinnic Ave. Excerpts also will be read by local actors and students.
Speaking of dramatic readings, the Milwaukee Rep production of "The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged)" can be seen in a mere 90 minutes tonight. The play is billed as "a farcical feast of inspired lunacy." Showtime is 6:30 p.m. Tickets start at $20. »Read Full Blog Post(1)
On Tap Today: Idols madness and other music
Happy Wednesday!
If you're one of the roughly 25 million Americans who watches America's most watched television show on any given night it runs, this is indeed a big day.
That show, "American Idol," launches season 11 tonight. Auditions take place in idyllic Savannah. I'll be blogging live -- meaning you can chime in. Visit www.jsonline.com to get at the live blog. »Read Full Blog Post
On Tap Today: Keeping it on ice
OK, so this is cold. But it's just cold - it's not like it's a ton of snow. (That's forecast for tomorrow.) Still things to do around town.
Like lots of music. Corey Hart - no, no that Corey Hart; or that one either - brings his singer-songwriter stylings to Linneman's Riverwest Inn at 8 tonight. Roots rocker Garland Jeffreys is at Shank Hall with Aaron Fox & the Reliables, also at 8; for a refresher, hear his latest album here, courtesy Tuned In blogger Piet Levy. And the swampy strains of J.J. Grey & Mofro come to Turner Hall Ballroom.
You can take a little vacation from the Midwestern chill at the Mitchell Park Observatory, where the "Music Under Glass" series features Cream City Jazz starting at 6:30 p.m.
Or you can grab some quality time with some new friends at the Meet Milwaukee event hosted by Newaukee at Red Arrow Park from 6 to 8 p.m., with ice skating, coffee-tasting (thank you, Starbucks) and more, and then down the street at the Rumpus Room from 7 to 10 p.m. Check out Newaukee's website for details.
On Tap Today: Bourbon City?
One bourbon, one scotch and one beer.
On second thought, Mr. Bartender, forget that old blues song and make it just bourbon. Because bourbon is making a big comeback in Milwaukee, and in Weekend Cue we find out why and how. Writer Stan Miller does the research while Dining Critic Carol Deptolla reveals what dishes local chefs are pairing with bourbon these days (spoiler: It's not the usual).A listing of bourbon bars in these beer-lovin' parts completes our package.
Then we join Tom Hanks, Sandra Bullock and Max von Sydow to revisit one of the worst days in American history. The film "Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close" tells about a father who dies in the Sept. 11 attacks. When his son finds an old key his father had hidden, the boy sets out to solve the mystery of what the key unlocks. Film Critic Duane Dudek reveals whether that cinematic mystery is worth watching.

On Tap Today: Big Bucks, Little Pigs and accordions
A Milwaukee Bucks game, opera, an accordion swap meet -- so much for the idea of a boring Monday.
It's a full dance card today, if you want it to be.
Let's start with the piggies. Children can hear the a familiar tale and experience opera when the Florentine Opera puts on "The Three Little Pigs" at the Sharon Lynne Wilson Center for the Arts in Brookfield. It starts at 10 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. It's designed for kids in kindergarten through grade 4. Tickets are $7. »Read Full Blog Post
On Tap for Today: Toddler gymnastics, a gallery talk and Kathleen Edwards
Weekdays in January can be as drab as the weather. But yours doesn't have to be. Just look at what's going on today:
Take the toddlers to burn off some energy at Winter Gymnastics startting at 10:40 a.m. in Germantown. Check here for details on the introductory program.
The Milwaukee Art Museum hosts an afternoon gallery talk about the John Singleton Copley. Here's a story about the unveiling of "Alice Hooper," part of MAM's permanent collection. »Read Full Blog Post
On Tap for Today: Dogs sledding, boating, knitting, art, Shakespeare and song
Today's list of activities and events is going to make you wonder how Wednesday became known as "hump" day.
And while you ponder that, check out these possibilities:
Find out how dog sled teams are put together with "The Making of a Dog Sled Team" at 1 p.m. in Wauwatosa. »Read Full Blog Post
On Tap Today: Song to your heart's content
Everyone has a song in their heart, whether it's a light-hearted melody or a funeral dirge. Today promises a selection to satisfy most auditory appetites, starting with the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee's Opera Theater, which presents "An Evening of American Comedy" starting at 7:30 p.m.
Not quite your style, you say? Fine, how about a party featuring the video premiere of the pop hip-hop fusion single "Ms. Beverly Hills" from local rapper Maal Himself? The festivities begin at at 9 p.m. at MOCT, hosted by DJ Adamocity.
Sometime singing is best enjoyed from the couch. With a generous pour of wine. Well then, cozy up for the Galveston, Texas, auditions of "American Idol," which air 7 p.m. on Fox. Your TapMilwaukee "American Idol" team will be live blogging the show, providing some the biting criticism and snarky wisecracks ever-absent since Simon Cowell abandoned the show.
On Tap Today: What does a Brit find funny about Wisconsin?
John Cleese. Michael Palin. Benny Hill. Oh, those zany British comedians have had us in stitches for decades. But the funniest comic out there today may be John Oliver, who plays a (start giggling now) journalist on "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart." Oliver will bring his stiff upper lip — hey, it's not THAT cold here — to Milwaukee's Pabst Theater Friday at 8:30 p.m. Read Piet Levy's interview in which Oliver reveals his real thoughts about Wisconsin politics. So does the word "cheesehead" sound classier when said with a Brit accent?
Speaking of accents, is the one Glenn Close uses in the film "Albert Nobbs" authentic enough to win her an Academy Award? Learn what Critic Duane Dudek thinks about her Oscar-nominated performance in his review.
Or do Viggo Mortensen and Michael Fassbender create a better movie when they play those great explorers of the human mind, Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung, in "A Dangerous Method"? »Read Full Blog Post(1)
On Tap Today: Milwaukee's future, Bucks' present
What is it about January that makes us want to look past it? Oh, yeah - I saw today's weather forecast, too.
Let's get past that and on to the big picture: That's what they'll be kicking around tonight at the Pabst Theater, when some of Milwaukee's big (and interesting) thinkers get together for "Remarkable Milwaukee." Read architecture critic Mary Louise Schumacher's preview of the event - and some of the ideas that likely will dominate the discussion - here.
Speaking of futures, the Bucks' life without Andrew Bogut started on an up note Saturday, when the home team beat the mighty Lakers at the Bradley Center. They're back at the BC tonight, taking on the Pistons. Check out Charles F. Gardner's preview on the new-look/make-do Bucks here. »Read Full Blog Post
On Tap Today: Jazz, theater, art -- get out!
It's easy enough to stay inside on a chilly winter day. But there's lots on the dance card today. For instance:
What could you build if you could use just one tool? That was the challenge for artists who contributed to the Tool at Hand exhibit at the Milwaukee Art Museum. Chipstone Foundation curator Ethan Lasser will give a gallery talk at 1:30 p.m. today on the work of these artists. It's free with regular museum admission.
We're in the thick of winter and that means the dreaded cabin fever. Are you there yet? Whether or not you are, the Cure for Cabin Fever music series at the Italian Community Center is ready. Tonight is the kickoff for the series, which features jazz and blues on Tuesday nights, and rock on Thursdays. On tonight's bill: the Frank DeMiles All-Stars, with a program of jazz and blues in the Festa Ballroom of the ICC, 631 E. Chicago St. »Read Full Blog Post(2)

A Computational Method for the Coupled Solution of Reaction-Diffusion Equations on Evolving Domains and Surfaces: Application to a Model of Cell Migration and Chemotaxis
In this talk I will present details about a moving mesh finite element method for the approximate solution ofpartial differential equations on an evolving bulk domain in two dimensions, coupled to the solution of partial differential equations on the evolving domain boundary. Problems of this type occur frequently in the modeling of eukaryotic cell migration and chemotaxis - for these applications the bulk domain is either the interior or exterior of the cell and the domain boundary is the cell membrane. Fundamental to the success of the method is the robust generation of bulk and surface meshes for the evolving domains. For this purpose we use a moving mesh partial differential equation (MMPDE) approach. The developed method is applied to model problems with known solutions which indicate second-order spatial and temporal accuracy. The method is then applied to a model of the two-way interaction of a migrating cell with an external chemotactic field.
Seminar series sponsored by PIMS.

Crinkle Fiesta Skirt 275 283
Meh! I ordered this in a small and a medium. Needless to say I kept the small since the medium (should be my actual size) was very big and floating. The way the skirt is at the top and the waist just makes you look wider than you really are. The gathering starts at the waist, where I have bought this type of crinkle skirts from other vendors online and the gathering usually starts after the top tier which makes the skirt look less fluffy around the belly and hips. The color is very nice. The ribbons used are not of the highest quality and one of the ribbon lines rustles since it is not soft fabric. July 3, 2015
Great skirt Great skirt, goes with most any color top. I'm 5'6" and I ordered a petite because I didn't want it so long. It is still just above ankle length. July 3, 2015
Excellent buy I have been wanting this skirt for awhile. I saw good reviews. I am very pleased. I am a petite small and this skirt is perfect. It has so many colors that any color top will do. July 3, 2015
Quality could be better. I was expecting a vibrant black skirt with bright colors and ribbon accents. What I received was a black vibrant skirt up to the top tier at the waistline. That tier was faded and did not carry out the dark black theme of the rest of the fabric. The ribbon accents which could have been very striking, were made of a poor quality satin-ish ribbon which lacked the shine of good quality satin ribbon. This skirt has possibilities were it made of the right materials. How disappointing that it had to be returned. June 25, 2015
Love This Skirt! I bought this skirt for a recent trip to Morocco because I wanted something with more coverage than my other skirts have. I'm 5'5" tall with average proportions, but I ordered the petite size after reading other reviews, and I'm glad I did. The skirt came to just above my ankles and it's very full, so I still found I had to pick up the front a bit to avoid tripping when walking up stairs. I loved not having to wear a slip with this though, and it was very cool and comfortable in the hot June weather in Morocco. It's a beautiful and flattering skirt, and I got compliments each time I wore it. I did find I snagged it a couple of times, but the snags don't show because there's so much pattern and color. Even though I bought this skirt mainly for travel, I think I'll end up wearing it a lot at home in Texas too. If the blue version of this skirt was available, I'd buy it too! June 25, 2015
So good, we both got it! I bought the skirt to wear while traveling to Israel. A friend asked me about what I was packing, and I said I was getting a broomstick-style skirt for easy packing. Lo and behold, we purchased the same Travelsmith skirt! Here we are outside the Cathedral of the Annunciation in Nazareth. June 24, 2015
Saucy & sassy Love this skirt! It's full and swirls around your ankles so prettily. It's not see-through or too heavy--it's just right. Grab this bargain now! I ordered a L and at 5'7", it hit right above my ankle. I can't wait to take this on my next trip. June 20, 2015
Very Versatile I bought this skirt after a suggestion from a friend and reading the reviews. Unfortunately I missed the deadline for free shipping. With that in mind I still find the skirt a value. The colors do not look as sharp as in the photo but this skirt goes with probably any solid top you would wear. The crinkles hide the wrinkles and the ribbons around the bottom are a nice touch. I agree with the comment that if you have a belly it does little to hide that imperfection so maybe a loose top would camouflage it. Otherwise it is a perfect ankle length for my 5"3" height and 140 pound weight. The lining is a great feel and the whole skirt is flirty for dancing and prancing. May 20, 2015

Teacher Who Showed 'The ABCs of Death' to Her Students Sent to Jail
The internet will never stop arguing about when it is okay to show films with explicit content to children. But, there is one thing that we're pretty sure everyone can agree on: showing the violent and disturbing The ABCs of Death to five classes of unsuspecting students is an act of irresponsible idiocy on just about every conceivable level. Columbus, Ohio substitute teacher Sheila Kearns was rightfully let go from her job back in 2013 when she screened the film for her substitute Spanish classes, but the courts have handed down an additional punishment: 90 days in jail.

Last year, I had the chance to talk with Angela, Devon's Mom, about something I'd never really thought much about: SADS. Now we've all learned a little about it, and Mid Missouri has really worked to raise money and awareness about this terrible and silent killer.

Debashish Bagg (2010298) Saket Rathi (2010196) Introduction Evolution of Grid computing 1st Generation 2nd Generation 3rd Generation Grid Topologies Resource based grid Three layer architecture Benefits Companies involved in grid computing References "A computational grid is a hardware and software infrastructure that provides dependable, consistent, pervasive, and inexpensive access to high-end computational capabilities." -Kesselman & Foster[1] The term "the Grid" was coined in the mid 1990's for advanced science and engineering The term grid computing was used as a metaphor for making computer power as easy to access as an electric power grid in Ian Foster's and Kesselman's work[1]. Grid technologies[4] support the sharing and coordinated use of diverse resources in dynamic Virtual Organizations—that is, the creation, from geographically and organizationally distributed components, of virtual computing systems that are sufficiently integrated to deliver desired Quality of Service Ian Foster gave the following checklist[3] that was widely accepted: 1. Coordinates resources that are not subject to centralized control. 2. Uses standard, open, general-purpose protocols and interfaces . 3. Delivers nontrivial qualities of service Year of Project Project 1960 US Department of Defense (DOD's) project on ARPANET First Generation Grid 1976-77 FAFNER (Factoring via Network-Enabled Recursion) 1995 I-WAY (Information Wide Area Year) Issues with the first generation: 1. Homogeneity: Need for homogeneous resource across administrative domain 2. Scalability: As the grid grew performance degraded 3. Adaptability: Adapting to resource failure and performance The main design features required at the data and computational fabric of the Grid are: 1. Administrative Hierarchy 2. Communication Services 3. Information Services 4. Naming Services 5. Distributed File Systems and Caching 6. Security and Authorisation . 7. System Status and Fault Tolerance 8. Resource Management and Scheduling 9. User and Administrative GUI Year of Project Project Second Generation Grid 1996 Globus (U.S. multi-institutional research ) Legion (University of Virginia ) 2001 Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) Jini (used Java Remote method invocation RMI ) Common Component Architecture Forum Grid Resource Brokers Condor Portable batch systems (PBS) Sun Grid Engine (SGE) Load Sharing Facility (LSF) The Globus Resource Allocation Manager (GRAM) Creates, monitors, and manages services.

Sharing in a client server/ peer-peer basis. Development of Generation 2nd: 1. interoperability 2. reuse existing components and information resources Needs for Generation 3rd: 1. Homogeneity was dealt with scripting languages. 2. Dealing with failure and automatic recovery 3. Optimize resource Thus it was meant to be an automated grid with minimal human interventions.

French Sole Sloop - Leopard
I like the whole animal print trend as much as the next one, but I am not the type of person who will wear a cat suit (in public). So these shoes work great for adding just a splash of safari without overdoing it … I have included pictures of their other animal print flats that I also like. Any of these are a perfect way of spicing up any hum drum outfit. Try them with some cuffed jeans and plain tee or tank for a cute summer "oh what, this outfit? I just threw something on…" look.

Rain all day and I don't mind! :)
My mantra for life; The glass is not half full or half empty. It's always completely full!! A little bit about me.. I moved out here 3 summers ago from the east coast. I quit my job, sold my things, left my close friends and family and here I am. It's not a sad story, nor was it a difficult decision since I knew this is where I wanted to be. I came out here with the wind at my back and the sun on my face and am enjoying every minute. I've taken a leap, landed on my feet and excited to see what comes next! I'm not going to go as far as to call myself a foodie but my tastes and cravings have taken me on a 35 mile drive just recently for a bowl of noodles. That being said, I love exploring the food scene out here. My favorite restaurants so far in the South Bay are MB Post, Fish Bar, and Fishing with Dynamite . I believe good cocktail, glass of wine or two should accompany a fine meal as well! When I'm not eating, working and climbing the corporate ladder, I'm living the active beach life. I enjoy working out, surfing and riding my beach cruiser. I'm not a great surfer but am getting better and am stoked to just be out in the water even if I don't catch anything. There's nothing like getting into the ocean after a long day of work! I also enjoy snowboarding in the winter months. Everyone seems to like to travel and so do I. In the past 2 years I've been to Thailand, Bali, Peru, Canada, Mexico (do they count?) and Turks and Caicos... You should probably have a passport or be ready to apply for one if you hang out with me!

›› Welcome to P'nai Or!
Our joyous worship is infused with singing, chanting, and dance. We "pray with our feet" through tikkun olam (social justice) partnerships within and beyond our local community. We dive deeply into Torah, learning from Chassidic masters as well as other wisdom traditions. And we celebrate the divine image reflected in the rich tapestry of individuals and families – LGBT, Interfaith, Jews by Birth, and Jews by Choice – who journey with us.
P'nai Or means 'Faces of Light' in Hebrew.
Simcha School, our religious education program for kids in preschool through pre-b'nai mitzvah, meets 2 Saturdays per month. The 5775 season began with a special gathering in our sukkah in October and concluded with a picnic and Israeli dancing on June 6.
Each session begins with davvening (praying) and singing all together before breaking into separate classes for time with teachers and peers. For more information or to register for the 5776 season (which starts Oct 3 in our sukkah), contact Batya Podos at email@example.com.
Our 5775 Adult Ed classes are under way. Classes are all standalone, so come to as few or as many as can fit into your schedule.
We will have two Adult Education courses taught by experienced members this year. Both classes will be held on the 3rd Sunday of each month (unless otherwise noted) and continue into the summer. Melissa Carpenter's class on "Magic Words in the Torah" (study and discussion of different meanings of a key word), will be from 2:00 to 3:30, and Bob Lowe's class on "Siddur Study" (history and meanings of prayers in the Shema section of the morning service), will be from 4:00 to 5:30. Next classes: Sunday, July 19. The adult ed series will conclude on Aug 16.
Every P'nai Or member is welcome to attend any of these classes at no charge. Nonmembers are also welcome, and will be charged $10 per class session.
In addition to these Adult Ed offerings, Betty Esthelle is offering a Shabbat Enrichment series on "Being a Mystic in a Scientific World" which meets after services one Saturday per month. Next session: Saturday, July 18. (This will be the final session in this series.)
See our online calendar for the specific dates and topics of each Adult Ed class session and Shabbat Enrichment session.
Check out our Calendar, or refer to your "Calendar" and "Announcements" mailings for the most up-to-date listing of services, classes, and events. If you're not receiving our weekly announcement emails and would like to, please contact email@example.com and request to subscribe to "Announcements."
Our next Shabbat services will be Saturday, July 11.
Please join us for Shabbat Pinchas on Saturday, July 11, 10 am-noon, with Bob Lowe and Gayle Lovejoy.
The shuk is open.

THE GOPHER TORTOISE: A SPECIES IN DECLINE A presentation by the Gopher Tortoise Council modified by Nora Demers for the Nature Place, City of Bonita Springs on May 11, 2009 "working to conserve the gopher tortoise and the fascinating world in which it lives" This program was partially funded with grants from the Georgia Department of Natural Resources and the League of Environmental Educators in Florida Acknowledgments The following people generously donated photographs or slides for this presentation: Joan D. Berish, C. Kenneth Dodd, Jr., George L. Heinrich, Sharon Hermann, Joseph W. Jones Ecological Research Center, Lee County Parks & Recreation, Barry Mansell, Henry Mushinsky, Lora L. Smith, Jill Kusba, and Nora Demers Developed by Laura Wewerka and Lora L. Smith The Gopher Tortoise (Gopherus polyphemus) Gopherus polyphemus Chordata- spinal cord and bony vertebrae Reptilia- scales, amniotic eggs, ectothermic Testudines- flattened fused bones, ribs and vertebrae Testidinoidea- clawed elephantine hind feet, no webbing Gopherus- burrower Polyphemus- lives in cave (Greek) Evolution Tortoiselike fossils found from early Triassic (250 mya) originating in North America over 60 million years ago Gophers first seen during Pleistocene (500,000 to 2 mya) Only land turtle remaining in SE US (also only burrowing tortoise – is there a relationship?) Geographic Range of the Gopher Tortoise Legal Status Alabama- state listed as Protected; federally listed as Threatened west of the Tombigbee and Mobile Rivers. Florida- state listed as Threatened ("harm" enters protection terminology) Georgia- state listed as Threatened. Louisiana- state and federally listed as Threatened. Mississippi- state listed as Endangered; federally listed as Threatened. South Carolina- state listed as Endangered. Longleaf Pine Sandhill Scrub Pine Flatwoods Coastal Dunes Disturbed Sites The Ecological Role of Fire Promotes diversity Cycles nutrients Alleviates risk of wildfire Regeneration after fire (tender vittles) Keystone And Indicator Species Gopher tortoises are keystone species.

Influenza Pandemic:
Challenges in Preparedness and Response

Shortages of influenza vaccine in the 2004-05 and previous influenza seasons and mounting concern about recent avian influenza activity in Asia have raised concern about the nation's preparedness to deal with a worldwide influenza epidemic, or influenza pandemic. Although the extent of such a pandemic cannot be predicted, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), an agency within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), it has been estimated that in the absence of any control measures such as vaccination or antiviral drugs, a "medium-level" influenza pandemic could kill up to 207,000 people in the United States, affect from 15 to 35 percent of the U.S. population, and generate associated costs ranging from $71 billion to $167 billion in the United States. GAO was asked to discuss the challenges the nation faces in responding to the threat of an influenza pandemic, including the lessons learned from previous annual influenza seasons that can be applied to its preparedness and overall ability to respond to a pandemic. This testimony is based on GAO reports and testimony issued since 2000 on influenza vaccine supply, pandemic planning, emergency preparedness, and emerging infectious diseases and on current work examining the influenza vaccine shortage in the United States for the 2004-05 influenza season.
The nation faces multiple challenges to prepare for and respond to an influenza pandemic. First, key questions about the federal role in purchasing and distributing vaccines during a pandemic remain, and clear guidance on potential priority groups is lacking in HHS's current draft of its pandemic preparedness plan. For example, the draft plan does not establish the actions the federal government would take to purchase or distribute vaccine during an influenza pandemic. In addition, as was highlighted in the nation's recent experience responding to the unexpected influenza vaccine shortage for the 2004-05 influenza season, clear communication of the nation's response plan will be a major challenge. During the 2004-05 influenza season, state health officials reported that mixed messages created confusion. For example, CDC advised vaccination for persons aged 65 and older, and at the same time a state advised vaccination for persons aged 50 and older. Further challenges include ensuring an adequate and timely supply of influenza vaccine and antiviral drugs, which can help prevent or mitigate the number of influenza-related deaths. Particularly given the length of time needed to produce vaccines, influenza vaccine may be unavailable or in short supply and might not be widely available during the initial states of a pandemic. Finally, the lack of sufficient hospital and health care workforce capacity to respond to an infectious disease outbreak may also affect response efforts during an influenza pandemic. Public health officials we spoke with said that a large-scale outbreak, such as an influenza pandemic, could strain the available capacity of hospitals by requiring entire hospital sections, along with their staff, to be used as isolation facilities.

The subtitle for this book gives a good idea of what it is about: how to enable groups, communities, and societies to do things they've never done before.
It is a bit of a tangent to what this blog is normally about (the posts are usually individually addressed because this is how computers are mostly accessed). However our participation in groups affects very much how satisfying we find our lives, and it is only through participation in groups that we are going to save the planet.
I like this book very much because it is by someone who has been involved in building groups to make change. Practical and down to earth – you can tell that the author has been involved in doing this kind of thing. It is something of a how-to-do-it. So . . . how do you do it?
There are six ingredients:
- Start a buzz
- Offer hope
- Create an enabling environment
- Design a sticky solution
- Expanding the comfort zone
- Find the right inviter
