A property tax millage that could raise as much as $23 million each year in Wayne, Oakland and Macomb counties for the Detroit Institute of Arts has the support of 7 out of 10 likely voters in Tuesday's primary, according to a poll released exclusively to the Free Press.
The poll, which surveyed 237 adults in the three counties, found that 69% plan to vote for the millage and 2% are leaning toward voting yes, while 25% plan to vote no and 4% are undecided. The strongest support was in Wayne and Oakland counties.
The poll, conducted by EPIC-MRA of Lansing, has a margin of error of plus or minus 6.4 percentage points.
The DIA is seeking a property tax of 0.2 mill for 10 years, the equivalent of $20 a year on a home with a market value of $200,000 and a taxable value of $100,000 in Wayne, Oakland and Macomb counties.

Museum leaders say the millage will help plug annual operating gaps of about $15 million created by the elimination of state funding -- from $16 million in 1990 to zero this year.
The museum, whose annual budget is $25 million, has struggled financially for decades, hampered by the lack of a large operating endowment or public funding that sustain peer museums in Cleveland, Philadelphia, Chicago and elsewhere.
The DIA has promised free admission for residents of the counties that approve the tax, as well as extended hours and additional education and community programs. EPIC-MRA president Bernie Porn said the pro-DIA results suggested that voters may be willing to trade a small tax for free admission.
The poll question pointed out the free admission in counties that pass the millage. That language is not on ballots in the three counties and may have boosted support, Porn said.
The poll showed about 75% approval in Wayne and Oakland counties and 60% in Macomb. Because of the relatively low number of respondents, Macomb's results are within the margin of error.
Leon Drolet, chairman of the Michigan Taxpayers Alliance, which opposes the tax, said that if the measure passes, he would feel especially bad for those who voted against it.
"The no voters, whether they're a small percent or large, are people who may need that money to send their kids to college, make a car payment or pay other property taxes," he said. "They're not voting no because they don't like art. They're voting no because they need their money for reasons more important to their lives."
DIA officials conducted their own poll two weeks ago that showed a majority of voters supporting the millage. Museum Executive Vice President Annmarie Erickson declined to release details, but said the level of support was less than in the EPIC-MRA poll. She said the museum remained intensely focused on turning out the vote.
"We are phone banking every night," she said. "We saved resources so our media buys could be heavier this week. We're making literature drops in high turnout areas. It's really a full-court volunteer press."
The DIA is spending $2.5 million on the campaign. About $1.5 million was set aside in recent years to fund the effort and $1 million was raised from donors for the campaign.
There has been little organized opposition. Drolet said his organization was spending less than $15,000 on 100,000 automated phone calls critical of the museum's spending, pointing out that director Graham Beal is paid about $450,000 per year.
Beal's compensation totaled $443,000 in 2010, according to DIA tax forms. That ranks near the bottom compared with directors at peer museums.
DIA leaders say the tax would allow the museum to turn its fund-raising machinery to shoring up its operating endowment -- an investment nest egg that generates income to feed the bottom line.

The DIA's current operating endowment is about $100 million, low compared with the $368-million endowment at the Cleveland Museum of Art or the $651-million endowment or the Art Institute of Chicago.
State Rep. Tom McMillin, a Republican from Rochester Hills, has been the most vocal critic of the DIA. A certified public accountant, he has accused the museum of lying in television ads that suggest it might be forced to close without the millage. He points to DIA financial statements that show an increase in net assets of $50 million in the last two years.
"This is not an organization that's doing all that badly," McMillin said. "This millage does not have to pass to save the DIA."
DIA officials counter that although it's true that net assets have increased, not all of the $50 million McMillin cites was available to pay bills. Chief Financial Officer Rob Bowen said the figure includes $10 million allocated by the state for building repairs and $4 million because of on-paper reduction of long-term liabilities.
The large returns the last two years also came in the wake of post-recession stock market gains that were unlikely to continue.
"No responsible business owner would look at investment assets and count on those kinds of returns year after year," said Erickson. "This institution remains in a tenuous financial position."
She said a short-term solution is "not the solution to building a stable model for the future."

I heard those critters make natural pets. I often wonder if they weren't domesticated long ago but because of their stink, mankind forgot about them. I heard they're also like cats.

Well you have to get them descented by a vet. Mine was already descented when I got him. And if you raise them right from the time they're young, they become loving and docile pets. :)

Anzhi striker Samuel Eto'o has admitted PSG were interested in signing him in the summer but he has no plans to return to Western Europe. The Cameroon international joined Anzhi in August 2011 from Inter Milan but speculation has continued to surround his future and PSG were linked with a move during the recent transfer window. Eto'o says there was contact but has insisted he is happy in Russia and wants to carry on playing for Anzhi. The 31-year-old has given no thought to retirement and fully intends to carry on at international level as well. He told Canal+ Club: "PSG is a big club with a big manager in Carlo Ancelotti. There was contact, but I stayed at Anzhi. I am not returning to Western Europe. "I am not stopping playing in six months, no way. I will also continue with Cameroon. "At the start I was playing for money, but now I am well paid I do not play for money, just for pleasure. "While the pleasure is there, I will continue."

Welcome to my site.
I'm a philosopher of the sciences with a background in scientific practice. That is, I studied and worked in various sciences before becoming a philosopher. Now I do work in the philosophy of biology, philosophy of chemistry, philosophy of science, and other aspects of science and technology studies. I also work on issues in biomedical ethics, environmental ethics, and research ethics. My general philosophical approach is to apply carefully gathered knowledge of scientific cases and practices to my own and others' assumptions about metaphysics, epistemology, and value. And I like to do occasional work in non-traditional aesthetics, for a bit of philosophical fun.I have a BA in Philosophy of Life Science, an MA in Philosophy, and in March of 2014 I obtained a PhD in Philosophy and Science Studies from the University of California, San Diego. My dissertation work explored the individuation and classification of biological and chemical kinds. I am currently the philosopher-in-residence at the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago, where my principal mandate is to help initiate the museum's Conceptual Foundations of Science project, in part by contributing to aspects of the philosophical and scientific work on species concepts. Following my residency at the Field Museum, I will join the Philosophy Department at Oakland University in Rochester, Michigan as an Assistant Professor.Please feel free to explore the site, and don't hesitate to contact me with any additional queries.

ment Plans at the Nimbus (American River) and Trinity River hatcheries to benefit steelhead and fall-run Chinook salmon.
Rather than review every action and every detail, the committee comments on the broader concepts at issue and general categories of actions. Three important goals are to consider how well the RPAs are based on available scientific information; whether there are any potential RPAs not adopted that would have lesser impacts to other water uses as compared to those adopted in the biological opinions, and would provide equal or greater protection for the listed fishes; and whether there are provisions in the FWS and NMFS biological opinions to resolve potential incompatibilities between them. In addition we assess the integration of the RPAs within and across species and across all actions.
Addressing these goals requires explicitly recognizing the fundamental differences in the main conflicting arguments. There is concern, on one hand, that the increasing diversions of water from the delta over a period of many decades and the alteration of the seasonal flow regime have contributed to direct effects on populations of native species through mortality at the pumps, changes in habitat quality, and changes in water quality; and to indirect, long-term effects from alterations of food webs, biological communities, and delta-wide habitat changes. The RPAs propose that their collective effects will offset the impacts of the proposed operations of the SVP and the CWP by manipulating river flows and diversions, along with other actions. An alternative argument is that the effects of water diversions on the listed fishes are marginal. It is argued that the changes imposed by the RPAs would result, therefore, only in marginal benefits to the species, especially now that the delta environment and its biota have been altered (to a new ecological baseline) by multiple stressors. Those stressors obviously include water exports, but this argument suggests a smaller role for water exports in causing the fish declines and hence a smaller role for managing the exports to reduce or halt those declines. However, even with the copious amounts of data available, it is difficult to draw conclusions about what variable or variables are most important among the pervasive, irregular, multivariate changes in the system that have occurred over the past century.
The committee's charge was to provide a scientific evaluation, not a legal one, and that is what is presented below. Nothing in this report should be interpreted as a legal judgment as to whether the agencies have met their legal requirements under the ESA. The committee's report is intended to provide a scientific evaluation of agency actions, to help refine them, and to help the general attempt to better understand the dynamics of the delta ecosystem, including the listed fishes.

Mac and Linux Chrome builds available
Google has made early builds of Chrome for Mac and Linux available on its Chromium blog. However, it's warned that they're aimed at developers, "incomplete" and "unpredictable".
So much so that Google has issued a warning, all in caps, saying "DON'T DOWNLOAD THEM!", unless you're a developer or take pleasure in software that frequently crashes.
In terms of features, most of the browser is complete, but flash video, privacy settings and printing facilities aren't present. The company has promised that it's working on getting a beta release available, but it's not ready yet.
We'll keep you posted.

The way business works is changing rather rapidly in the 21st Century.

A U.S. advisory panel on nutrition has issued a sweeping report on the American diet that many of us won't find earth shattering. One key conclusion: we should eat less sugar.
The 2015 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee offered its recommendations to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Agriculture today as part of a process to develop new national dietary guidelines, which are updated every five years. Public comments are currently being accepted.
As far as sugar goes, the report states that: "Higher consumption of sugar-sweetened foods and beverages as well as refined grains was identified as detrimental in almost all conclusion statements with moderate to strong evidence."
The report's authors said they were guided by "two fundamental realities":
"First, about half of all American adults — 117 million individuals — have one or more preventable, chronic diseases, and about two-thirds of U.S. adults — nearly 155 million individuals — are overweight or obese. These conditions have been highly prevalent for more than two decades. Poor dietary patterns, overconsumption of calories, and physical inactivity directly contribute to these disorders. Second, individual nutrition and physical activity behaviors and other health-related lifestyle behaviors are strongly influenced by personal, social, organizational, and environmental contexts and systems. Positive changes in individual diet and physical activity behaviors, and in the environmental contexts and systems that affect them, could substantially improve health outcomes.
Here's more about the dietary recommendations:
The overall body of evidence examined by the 2015 DGAC identifies that a healthy dietary pattern is higher in vegetables, fruits, whole grains, low-or non-fat dairy, seafood, legumes, and nuts; moderate in alcohol (among adults); lower in red and processed meat;i and low in sugar-sweetened foods and drinks and refined grains. Vegetables and fruit are the only characteristics of the diet that were consistently identified in every conclusion statement across the health outcomes. Whole grains were identified slightly less consistently compared to vegetables and fruits, but were identified in every conclusion with moderate to strong evidence. For studies with limited evidence, grains were not as consistently defined and/or they were not identified as a key characteristic. Low- or non-fat dairy, seafood, legumes, nuts, and alcohol were identified as beneficial characteristics of the diet for some, but not all, outcomes. For conclusions with moderate to strong evidence, higher intake of red and processed meats was identified as detrimental compared to lower intake….

Arsd/e transcriptional downregulation is recapitulated in ATRX-depleted cells. (A) RNA interference was used to deplete ATRX in Neuro-2a neuroblastoma cells. Cells were transfected with 8 nM siRNA, fixed after 72 h and processed for immunofluorescence staining using an anti-ATRX primary antibody (H300) and anti-rabbit Alexa 488 secondary antibody, then counterstained with DAPI to detect nuclei. In the siATRX treated samples, approximately 95% of cells were negative for ATRX. Scale bar = 20 μM. (B) Total RNA was isolated for quantitative real-time PCR of Atrx and Arsd/e gene expression at 72 hours post-transfection. Mock (transfection reagent only) expression levels were set to one and a non-specific siRNA was used as a control. Results were normalized to β-actin expression levels. Error bars represent standard error of the mean (n = 3).

One in 12 stroke survivors thought about suicide or that they would be better off dead, a troubling federal survey reveals. That's more than those with other health problems such as heart attacks or cancer, and it suggests that depression after stroke is more serious than many had realized.
"It was surprising" and shows a need for more treatment, said the study's leader, Dr. Amytis Towfighi of the University of Southern California in Los Angeles. "When patients have their depression treated they're more motivated to take their medication, do therapy and live a full life."
The study was discussed Thursday at an American Stroke Association conference in Honolulu.
More than 6 million Americans have had a stroke; about 800,000 occur each year in the U.S. Studies suggest that up to a third of stroke survivors develop depression, but few have looked at suicidal thoughts — one sign of how serious it is.
"It's not necessarily active suicidal thoughts with a plan, but perhaps wishing you hadn't survived the event," Towfighi explained.
She used the National Health and Nutrition Surveys, a government project that gives checkups and questionnaires to a representative sample of adults. More than 17,000 people were surveyed from 2005 through 2010.
They included 678 who had suffered a stroke; 758 who had had a heart attack; 1,242 with cancer, and 1,991 with diabetes. Researchers don't know how long ago these problems occurred of if people were still being treated for them.

Lionel Messi has a reputation for resisting the urge to dive or fake injuries, which is why the world is holding its collective breath. The FC Barcelona superstar was carted off the field Wednesday after suffering a suspected knee injury. It comes as a major blow, as the Argentine forward is in hot pursuit of one of soccer's most "untouchable" records. Messi suffered the injury in the 85th minute of Barcelona's UEFA Champions League game against Benfica. The 25-year-old attempted to dribble the ball around Artur Moraes in a late-game scoring effort, but made contact with the lunging Benfica goalkeeper. His knee bent to an awkward angle, but he maintained his balance, turned and took an uncontested shot at the goal (Moraes recovered in time to make the save). He fell to the ground immediately after, staying there for a few minutes and clutching the back of his left knee at times. He was put on a cart and driven from the field at Barcelona's Camp Nou Stadium. The extent of his injury is unknown at this point. Messi is chasing Gerd Muller's record for most goals scored in a calendar year. The German great scored 85 times for club and country in 1972. Messi is second all-time with 84 in 2012. He scored his 76th goal on Nov. 11, which bettered the mark Pele hit in 1958. He was chugging along until Wednesday's events. Messi only entered the game in the 58th minute. Before the game, manager Tito Vilanova was criticized for using Messi in a relatively meaningless game, as Barcelona had already qualified for the knockout rounds of the Champions League as Group G winners. The game ended in a scoreless draw. Messi will certainly undergo scans on the injured knee in the coming days. Barcelona has four games remaining in 2012. Watch Messi get injured and carted off the field in the video below. Have a question for Marcus Kwesi O'Mard? Send it to him via Twitter at @NESNsoccer, NESN Soccer's Facebook page or send it here.

AppleCare+ program raises iPhone deductibles, adds iPods, and launches in select European countries
Apple has just made some updates to their AppleCare+ program including making the service available for iPod touch and iPod classic owners. Most notably, the deductible for a broken iPhone replacement will be increased from the current $49 per incident to $79. AppleCare+ plans are also now available in select European countries. From what we can see, for now that includes France, Italy, and the UK.
AppleCare+ replacement plans for iPhone and iPod will still remain at $99. The deductible to replace a broken iPod touch or iPod classic will be $29 per incident and can be used for up to two incidents within 2 years. The two incident rule remains the same for iPhone users as well but the deductible per incident has risen to $79 instead of the current deductible of $49.
As usual, it will extend your standard warranty to cover accidental. You'll be covered for defects and damage for a full two years from your purchase date.

AppleCare+ program raises iPhone deductibles, adds iPods, and launches in select European countries
I agree.
If you bought it at that price, they have to honor that price. These should be just going forward.
Talked to my friend who works for AppleCare 24 hour support and he confirmed that the $49 deductible is grandfathered to the original phone it was purchased on.
Only new phones being purchased from here on are required to pay $79 deductible
And the out of warranty (OOW) replacement fee went up on the original iPhone 5 from $229 to $269 (this info available on apples support website)
Apple's website actually says at the time of purchase now.
I know our local carrier stores have AppleCare+ boxes available for purchase. I've seen 30 day wording too but the Apple site says at the time of purchase now. Which is why I'm confused.
They will.
Wow they raised the deductible? Is there any reason for doing so?
So I'm confused - in february, I got my iPhone replaced (broken screen / broken back, and was randomly shutting itself off) for $200 to get a brand new replacement out of warranty at the apple store. I had always wished they had Applecare+ when I bought it (I'm really rough with electronics.. glass phones are not ideal for me!)
But if it's $100 for applecare+, and then another $80 to replace the phone when I break it, that's $180 total spent. Why would I buy applecare+ if I can just get a $200 replacement instead when I actually break it (instead of buying applecare+ "just in case").
The only logic I can see is maybe if I accidentally break it twice in two years....?

Dan Aziz always knew he wanted to be an entrepreneur, but he didn't know what type of company he'd start until he spent a little time in a Providence supermarket. Interviewing customers for a Brown University class in the nutritional-supplements aisle of a local Whole Foods, Aziz heard persistent complaints about the size and taste of vitamin pills for pregnant women, sparking an idea. Aziz created Premama, a drinkable, prenatal supplement that's now on the shelves of the same Whole Foods where he was interviewing customers, as well as in Target and infant chain Buy Buy Baby. In September, Aziz's Luna Pharmaceuticals Inc. closed on the first half of a $1 million funding round led by Cherrystone Angel Group, which allowed the Providence company to hire its second full-time employee and move to expand. more

Dragon Slippers (edition 2007)

Dragon Slippers by Jessica Day George
My Wishlist - YA (11)
KayStJ's to-read list (476)
Can barely put it down.
The was great fun. Can't wait to read the next in the series!
There are not many fantasy novels that have a female as a strong lead character. One such series I read awhile ago was The Enchanted Forest Chronicles by Patricia C. Wrede. After being recommended to read Dragon Slippers on Goodreads I decided to look further into the series. Once I read a summary of the first book I decided to give it a try. I loved Wrede's series so much that reading another series about dragons and a young girl as protagonist was very intriguing. I can say that the first book, Dragon Slippers, lived up to my expectations. It is not as good as Wrede's series, but definitely an incredible story!
In Dragon Slippers, Creel is the protagonist. She is a strong, courageous, vibrant, kind, and likable character. She handles herself very well in all the various situations she is put into. These include having a mean seamstress as a boss, dealing with a rude princess as a client, falling for a prince, befriending dragons, and saving the dragons and her people. Additionally, she is also a very talented embroider. I really liked her as the main character and thought she developed very well throughout the novel. I loved that she followed her dream of working in the king's city and that she helps to fix what she wronged. I believe that she would make a great role model for any child.
There are other characters as well including Marta, who becomes Creel's best friend, as well as Luka. Luka is the brother to the crown prince and is also a very likable character. He is really nice and doesn't care where you are from or what your status may be. He treats everyone with respect, and I think he would make a better king than his brother. There are also tons of dragons in the story!
Jessica Day George puts a different spin on her dragons, which I found fascinating. They don't hoard the typical treasure you read about in other stories such as gold and jewels. Some of them hoard shoes and others go as far as hoarding live dogs. It's hilarious! I also liked how they all have their own personality and become characters you really enjoy reading about. There are times when things happen to some of the dragons that almost brought me to tears.
I really enjoyed the unique plot to the story. It's all about a pair of blue slippers that Creel was given by a dragon, and finding out what they really are. It was engaging and well paced. I even found that I liked all the discussions about embroidery and sewing even though I don't care for them myself. Much of the story focuses on the shoes and Creel's passion for embroidery, but don't let that deter you from reading a great story! There are also themes of friendship, betrayal, and coming of age.
There is a little bit of romance in the book, but nothing that would be inappropriate for younger readers or take away from the main story. There is also very little violence within the battles. I would recommend this to anyone who loves fantasy, especially younger girls. It is a really girly series, but there may be some boys out there who would enjoy it anyway. It would be appropriate for anyone eight and over, and may be a perfect bedtime book for parents and children to share. I would have to say that the younger you are the more you will probably enjoy the book, but I think it is still a fun read for young adults and adults as well.
Overall, it was a great story and I can't wait to start the next one!
I really liked Dragon Slippers. Its a sweet quick read.
I enjoyed Jessica Day George's twelve dancing princess books so much that I felt a need to try her other novels, and I wasn't disappointed. This one starts with Creel's aunt trying to sacrifice her to a dragon as a ploy to attract a knight for a husband, but Creel decides instead to try to make a deal with the dragon and avoid anyone getting hurt. However, the deal she ends up making has some incredibly unexpected consequences...
Fun! Adventure! Girls and dragons as friends! It's exactly what I wanted.
Some secondary characters are rather flat and stereotypical, and a lot of details are tied up too neatly and quickly at the conclusion, but the plot is sound and well written.
The plot elements are sometimes awkwardly stitched together, but the exciting, fairy-tale action and vivid scenes, from glittering dragon cave to posh dress shop, are captivating.
Not entirely original, but clever, well-plotted and good fun.

SIM card cutter2/18/2014
very simple instructions11/9/2013
I haven't used this item yet but the sim card adapters have no retaining clips to keep a card in place. Not to mention the card will protude a bit above the card itself. It didn't want to insert properly in my phone (T-Mobile My Touch 3G).
Just Works6/25/2013
Successfully cut 2 sims down and they worked perfectly in my phone. Quick and easy to use. The included sim adapters are handy as well for re-using the cut sims in my old phone.
Great product4/1/2013
Didn't have to use the SIM cutter, but good to have just in case. The adapters works fine, a little snug but it does the job. Can now easily switch phones without asking changing SIM.
Perfect, Works6/28/2011
Grip: *** feels insecure, but yet again, this is just a sim-cutter to be honest. Sim Cutter Productivity: ***** Cuts the sim into Micro-sim perfectly. No residue or sharp ends. Fitted firmly into my Iphone 4 Micro Sim Adapter: **** Despite some negative reviews, if pressed firmly, the Microsim fits perfectly into the adapter. I use it frequently when I move contacts from my older phones which does not support Micro-Sim such as my Xperia X10. Overall Experience: ****
