Many Top Vacation Spots Place Visitors at Risk for Increased UV Exposure
PINELLAS PARK, Fla., June 10 /PRNewswire/ -- As travelers and their families head off to their favorite vacation spots this summer, many may be putting themselves at risk for increased exposure to the sun's dangerous ultraviolet (UV) rays. Some of the most popular summer vacation destinations, like beaches and islands in warmer climates, are spots that have very high UV indexes. With the increased exposure to UV rays, travelers of all ages need to take the proper precautions to stay protected during their trip.
Transitions Optical offers travelers a tool to help them monitor the daily UV index for their favorite vacation destinations. By visiting www.transitions.com, travelers can type in their location and get daily UV index ratings for every stop on their trip. In addition to the UV index finder, visitors to the site can also find the latest information about how to stay protected from the sun during the summer months.
"Most people know about the need to protect their skin from harmful UV rays, yet few people realize that their eyes are just as vulnerable and should also be protected," said Dr. Larry Lampert, certified optometric physician and developmental/behavioral optometrist. "Because damage from UV exposure is cumulative, the eyes are at great risk for developing vision-threatening conditions, such as cataracts and macular degeneration. Even the delicate skin surrounding the eyes can be damaged by prolonged sun exposure and is susceptible to forms of skin cancer, so it's critical to take the proper steps for protection," he added.
Dr. Lampert offers the following everyday steps travelers can take to lessen the threat of UV damage:

President Obama was on "The Daily Show" with Jon Stewart on Wednesday night.
Or as Jay Leno would say, "Hee… hee.. Comedy Central, isn't that the name of the Democratic National Committee?"
Obama is indeed pulling out all the stops the week before the midterm elections to keep his party in control of the House and Senate —– so we could have another two years of Democrats wimping out of doing anything as a majority.
Why do Republicans want to take back control of the House and Senate anyway? They're getting what they want as a minority without getting anything done.
Politics as unusual.
So why did Obama really go on "The Daily Show"? Well…
1. It was either that or cable TV's other comedy news program — Fox News.
2. He's testing the waters for a possible gig after 2012. Here's a pitch, a revival of "American Bandstand" with Obama as host. It can be called "Ba-rock the Casbah."
3. He's still trying to lock up the all-important smarmy and snarky vote that Stewart represents.
4. Wants to be ahead of the jokes once tea baggers like Sharron Angle get elected.
5. Stephen Colbert told Obama to take his guest appearance and shove it.

Crosstown options loom
Contract on Sears tower sets stage for 'complex project'
Real estate investor Andy Cates said Wednesday he has a contract to buy the long-vacant Sears Crosstown building in Midtown.
But Cates wouldn't elaborate on his plans for the structure, describing any effort to purchase and rehabilitate the massive building as "extremely complicated" and loaded with "moving pieces."
"It is very preliminary, and it's an incredibly complex project," said Cates, a minority-share owner of the Memphis Grizzlies and LeMoyne-Owen College board member. "We're exploring the feasibility right now.
"It would be great for the city but it's extremely complicated."
Cates returned to Memphis from Texas in 1999 and kick-started the Soulsville Revitalization Project, a $20 million nonprofit venture that includes the Stax Museum of American Soul Music, The Stax Music Academy and Soulsville Charter School.
The 1.4 million-square-foot Crosstown building has been a Midtown eyesore since it closed in 1993.
Opened in 1927, the Art Deco-style building near Watkins and North Parkway has been an empty shell for years, with only pigeons and the occasional vagrant calling it home.
The Crosstown building was home to the Mid-South regional office of Sears, Roebuck and Co., the company's catalog merchandise distribution center and its Credit Central operation.
In its heyday, people from across the Mid-South traveled to Memphis to shop at Sears Crosstown.
But times changed and the retail Sears store closed in 1983. The building has been vacant since its catalog distribution center closed in 1993.
The owner of the site, Memtech LLC, bought the property from Sears in 2000 for $1.25 million.
Over the years, a host of investors and developers has expressed interest in the property only to see the deals fizzle, usually because of the sheer size of the building, its design and possible environmental problems.
Other cities -- often using public-private partnerships -- have had more success in rehabilitating former Sears catalog distribution buildings.
The former Sears distribution center in Minneapolis is now called Midtown Exchange, a mixed-use residential, office, hotel and retail center.
A development group called the Ryan Cos. led the way on the $192 million redevelopment effort.
Built in 1928 as a massive retail and distribution center for Sears, the building sat vacant since its closing in 1994. Minneapolis acquired the property in 2001, and Ryan was awarded the development rights in 2004.
About 418,00 square feet of office space is occupied by Allina Hospitals and Clinics, the largest nonprofit health care provider in Minnesota. The project also includes town homes, condos and apartments.
In Boston, the Abbey Group transformed a 1929 Sears warehouse into a 1.5 million-square-foot commercial development called the Landmark Center.
The building, near Fenway Park, was renovated to include a movie theater, retail, office space and housing.
Robert Lipscomb, executive director of the Memphis Housing Authority and director of Housing and Community Development, said the city would make a strong push -- including lining up local, state and federal tax breaks or freezes -- to help potential buyers make any rehabilitation of the structure possible.
"It's important for the city of Memphis and it's an anchor for that whole neighborhood," said Lipscomb. "It's going to take almost everything you can think of to make it work because it is so big."
But, based on what other cities have done, he said, "there is a model to follow."

Worldly looks and top-notch specs make the impressive, metal Samsung Galaxy S6 the Android phone to beat for 2015.
Though it feels too similar to last year's G3, the LG G4 is an excellent big-screen smartphone that will appeal to budding photographers, and has old-school features missing from rival flagships.
After updating a Moto X to Android 5.0 Lollipop, I tried to enable my favorite feature only to realize it was no where to be found.
The latest flavor of Google's mobile OS has almost doubled its adoption from a month ago.
Polarr opted not to build an app specifically for Apple's iOS software, instead going the less-traveled route of using more-universal Web technologies. That decision is now paying off with droves of downloads.
Exclusive to AT&T, the pair of smartphones pick up the latest Android software.
The 2014 flagship LG smartphone picks up the latest version of Android.
Previously delayed by technical issues, the latest version of Android now appears headed to AT&T HTC One M8 users, according to a tweet from an HTC exec.

Orchestra del Maggio Musicale Fiorentino
Romantic Overtures Vol.5: Italian Opera OverturesNotify me when available - € 11.95
- Type CD
- Label Australian Eloquence
- Catalog number ELQ 4807220
- Release date 10 May 2013
About the album
Romantic Overtures – Volume 5 is a collection of Overtures and Intermezzi from grand Italian opera. Thugs drowning blind women, a mountain lass buried in an avalanche, a cup of poison for two… this is the stuff of this highly entertaining CD conducted by Gianandrea Gavazzeni, who conducted several recordings of Italian opera for Decca. Mascagni is represented by his little known operas Le maschere and Guglielmo Ratcliff; the operas La Wally and Norma not by their single 'big' arias, but by Preludes. And to round off the original – and extremely rare – 1956 LP (entitled 'Great Moments from Italian Opera'), we have the Prelude and 'Dance of the Hours' from La Gioconda.

Finding Scholarships & Financial Aid
The College of Education offers scholarships for entering freshmen, enrolled undergraduate and graduate students, as well as students in the COST overseas student teaching program. All applicants must be enrolled in the College of Education at the time their application is submitted. The College of Education has both needs-based and non-needs-based scholarships. Students may apply for both.
While academic merit is a factor in awarding our scholarships, only those students who have financial need will be considered for needs-based funds. Applicants who wish to be considered for needs-based scholarships must include a copy of their Student Aid Report (SAR) with their scholarship application. The SAR is received after completing a Free Application of Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Forms and information about the FAFSA are available from the UK Office of Student Financial Aid. Non-needs-based scholarships do not require completion of the FAFSA process, since financial need is not a factor in making these awards.
The deadline for submission for the upcoming academic year was Feb. 13, 2015. Application questions may be directed to:

Were you there the day Horus slew the Emperor? We certainly were, though it's hard to believe that the Horus Heresy series has been around almost ten years. And shows no signs of slowing down with the thirty-second book in the series, Deathfire, available to pre-order now.
The book tells the tale of the XVIII Legion as they return to Nocturne with the body of their Primarch, Vulkan. Following on from the events that take place in The Unremembered Empire, Deathfire is a tragic tale, for the Salamanders have lost much, including many of their battle-brothers and the father of their legion who, for the first time, has not recovered from his wounds. It's a harrowing journey for Artellus Numeon, former Captain of the Pyre Guard, who must lead his brothers against some of the most horrific foes the Emperor's warriors have ever faced.
Like all new Horus Heresy books, Deathfire is a hefty hardback book complete with shiny dust jacket and four pieces of internal artwork that add to the excitement and depth of the story. The last piece of artwork in particular is a real show-stopper. Don't skip ahead, though, you'll ruin the surprise.
But that's not all…
In other news:
Fancy teaming up with a friend/relative/total stranger for a weekend of battlefield heroics and hilarity?

But I don't mean it as a put-down. It's just advice from a longtime visitor who loves Hawaii's "second city." I also know the worst thing anyone can do for Hilo is to try to oversell it. No one is going to spend a weeklong honeymoon in Hilo or plan a Wall Street corporate retreat or a championship golf tournament there.
That's all over on the other side, the rocky brown Kona Coast, with its 10 inches of rain per year and $400 per night megaresort hotel rooms.
Hilo, on the other hand, is a place often defined by its deficiencies. No famous gourmet restaurants, no luxury hotels, no postcard-worthy beaches. It's more often wet and gloomy compared with the west side. Rain? Count on it. More than 125 inches a year.
But it has something you won't find while strolling the T-shirt shops over in Kailua-Kona.
"Hilo is more relaxing and down-to-earth," she Wilma Kuamoo, a waitress at Ken's House of Pancakes, a locals hangout. "In other places, I think people have lost the Hawaiian spirit. They don't have time to stop and talk. They're too busy. Hilo isn't that way."
Hilo is getting a boost, or maybe a test, with Continental's new nonstop service from Los Angeles. It's the first West Coast nonstop to Hilo since 1983. Previously, visitors to Hilo had to fly to Honolulu and change planes (and often terminals). The planes pull up to the oversize Hilo International Airport, a remnant of a 1970s attempt to spur tourism to the area.
Tourism archaeologists can visit Banyan Drive, which seems caught sometime before the 1980s. The trees that flank the curving parkway have plaques to the famous visitors who were honored with a tree planting during their visit. Babe Ruth and Amelia Earhart are on the drive. The most recent famous name is Richard Nixon — when he was running for vice president in 1952.
The names underscore the reality that Hilo has become a tourism backwater in the past half-century, ever since the airport in Kailua-Kona meant that visitors to the big resorts no longer needed to make a stop in Hilo on the way to two weeks of lounging at the Mauna Kea or Kona Village.
But the very things that Hilo isn't — slick, pricey, touristy — make it a draw for Hawaii vacationers looking for a different experience. Disney recently opened a resort on Oahu, and more than a few commentators have riffed that the resort is unnecessary because tourism, the islands' No. 1 industry, has already turned them into one big theme park.
Hilo has been eclipsed in popularity by the Kona side. The Big Island is big — you could fit all the other islands inside it and still have lots of room. On the west coast, visitors drive long distances to get to a "destination" resort where enough greenery has been planted and watered to make you forget that you are on the brown, rocky flank of an old volcano.
Seeing the west side from the air is known to give vacationers "Kona shock," an affliction that hits when you realize the weeklong vacation destination looks more like the moon than a tropical paradise. Once inside the resort gates, the irrigation and gardeners can hide it all pretty well. That's not a problem in Hilo. All that rain may be a nuisance, but it makes it the garden side of the island.
Hilo, while it has places for tourists, is a real town maintained for locals. Its green hills and waterfalls are perfectly in tune with the lush Hawaii of most travelers' imaginations.
Nature has been Hilo's greatest strength and its weak point. The crescent-shaped bay sits at the foot of two volcanoes, Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa. They are close enough that in the past century, lava has licked repeatedly at the edges of town.
But it is the ocean that has twice ravaged Hilo. The recent disasters in Indonesia and Japan have only added to the public interest about the killer waves of the kind that have smashed the area at least five times since the early 1800s. Hilo was struck in 1946 and again in 1960, the latter flattening the downtown, which was moved back several hundred feet from the water's edge after the second tsunami.
Hilo has turned its sometimes deadly relationship with nature to its advantage. The city is the jumping-off point for tours of Kilauea, the most active of the island's volcanoes. The lava and smoke have steadily moved away from Hilo in recent decades, though as late as 1984, lava from the currently dormant Mauna Loa made it to the outskirts of town.
The Imiloa Astronomy Center spotlights the work done far upslope at the observatories atop 13,796-foot Mauna Kea. It's unlike any other planetarium you're likely to visit because it ties the science of the cosmos to how that science was interpreted in traditional Hawaiian legends and was used by Polynesians on their epic voyages across the Pacific.
All that rain has an upside. Hilo is home to some of the most beautiful gardens and parks in the islands. Plumeria, orchids and anthurium bloom magnificently here, alongside the massive banyan and monkeypod trees.
My favorite stop in Hilo is Liliuokalani Park, out near Banyan Drive. Though it is named after Hawaii's last queen (overthrown in 1893 by a coterie of businessmen who later pushed for U.S. annexation), it's actually a Japanese garden with red arch bridges, stone lanterns and bonsai, the neatly miniaturized plants that require meticulous gardening skills. Nearby is Coconut Island, once the home of a traditional Hawaiian temple, or heiau. It can be reached by a short bridge.
Garden fans can get more at the larger Nani Mau Gardens, a botanical collection of native plants and imported specimens brought by settlers and traders from around the world. A somewhat less manicured environment is available at the Hawaii Tropical Botanical Garden, which includes a large rain forest among thousands of species of plants.

Safety first when celebrating Independence Day, Corpus Christi police say
CORPUS CHRISTI - Coastal Bend residents have plenty of activities to help celebrate Independence Day and police have just as many events to keep safe.
Corpus Christi police will step up drunken driving enforcement, add extra officers, work in conjunction with firefighters and help control traffic throughout the weekend.
Beginning Wednesday, police began increasing DWI checks by sending officers on patrol looking specifically for intoxicated drivers, according to a news release. The additional patrols will extend through Sunday with six extra officers assigned to the beaches, officials said.
On Thursday police will work along with the Corpus Christi Fire Department to make sure citizens are safe. Six additional officers will be assigned to respond at night, along with a firefighter in each squad car, to police reports of fireworks complaints and to enforce city ordinances, authorities said.
Residents can call the Police Department at 886-2677 to report fireworks violations.
Police will provide traffic control for the Fourth of July parade beginning at 10:30 a.m. at Resaca Street. Police warn that drivers should expect delays at that time near the parade route, which follows Shoreline Boulevard to McCaughan Park.
At 9:30 p.m. heavier traffic should be expected in the same area for the annual fireworks display. Police will provide traffic control near the marina and on North Beach near the Lexington Museum on the Bay, where the fireworks display is launched.
The Harbor Bridge will be closed to pedestrian traffic on the northbound side from 8-11 p.m., officials said.
Motorists leaving North Beach after the fireworks show should expect delays and detours as traffic may be sent on U.S. Highway 181 to Portland to help facilitate traffic flow, authorities said. Drivers also are encouraged to use the Joe Fulton Corridor.
The Coast Guard also expects an increase in boaters on area waterways. Boaters should obey all federal and state regulations for recreational boating and navigation, officials said.
Boaters should bring life jackets for everyone on board, have a marine radio and have a float plan, officials said.

New supercomputer finds home in Europe

Blue Gene/L tops its own supercomputer recordOctober 27, 2005
Lab computer simulates ribosome in motionOctober 21, 2005
The Julich Research Center has deployed a system based on IBM's Blue Gene. The supercomputer is known as the Julicher Blue Gene/L, or JUBL, and consists of eight Blue Gene racks.
This gives JUBL a total of 16,384 processors, and a maximum processing speed of 45.6 teraflops, which would have put it in fifth place in the global supercomputing Top500 when the list was last updated in November.
JUBL will be used to tackle major scientific problems, research center head Thomas Lippert said last week at the CeBit trade show in Germany. Lippert said that JUBL can handle intensive tasks such as modeling protein folding or the behavior of liquids or gases.
"We can model trace gas concentrations, or monitor the damage to the ozone layer over the Arctic," said Lippert. "We can also use it to understand the nanostructure of new chips and develop new materials for data storage."
Lippert wouldn't say how much JUBL had cost, other than it was less than $12 million (10 million euros).
According to Lippert, up to five projects can run simultaneously on the supercomputer. Scientists from across Europe can now apply to have their projects run on JUBL, and Lippert hopes that the supercomputer will give a boost to scientific research in Germany and beyond.
"We want the brain drain to flow into Germany rather than toward the U.S., and we hope that the whole of Europe can benefit," Lippert said.
The largest nonsecret supercomputer in the world is Blue Gene/L, which is based at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California. It has achieved a processing speed of 280.6 teraflops per second, thanks to its 65,536 processors.
Graeme Wearden of ZDNet UK reported from London.

Site Map: Utilities API Xref Links Path to /Free Games DOWNLOAD Résumé Original Home Page Donations
Yea! I am finally on a V7R1 box and can start using the IBM Rdi friendly V7R1 PTF that allows free form H, F and D specs. As time allows, 1) working on a utility to convert my source H,F and D specs to the totally free format, 2) then the rewrite of several JCRCMDS utilities to take advantage of new APIs, RPG functionality, and processing totally free code. I will post the H, F and D free utility here for you to use on your source when I finish it. Note: you cannot paste the download file into the lpex editor and install. For now please use instructions on download page.
The JCRCMDS library, featured many times in the Iseries ClubTech Newsletter and previously a commercial quality product at Rochester Initiative , is a practical set of API-based utilities for AS/400 Programmers. These utilities are the continuing evolution for 30 years of desperate need and a hardwired passion for programming. The source utilities include quick information retrieval tools you use to write, maintain, and provide analysis of your programs. Conversion tools for bringing your legacy code up to modern standards. Even code generation tools that can save many hours of programming time. The File and Object tools provide many important timesavers, Analysis helpers, Job and Spool File finders, and quick, easy access to many other necessary functions. Also provided are Data Queue, Netf, and XML generation tools.
Here is just a couple examples of how a JCRCMDS utility can increase your effectiveness. After a hard day of coding in RDI, back out and run the JCRNUMB utility to automatically indent format your /free code based on logic structures. (Next JCRCMDS release will auto-format your free format definition structures!). If in PDM, use JCRRFIL - File name / Record Format Xref for RPG source, to instantly see all program files and how they are used, the physicals, record formats, the renames, the file libraries, then you can see the keys, select omits, fields in the file, and the data. Useful good stuff! Also look for the JCRLKEY Tech Tip in archive January 10th, 2014 MC Press Online.
Your feedback on achieving maximum effectiveness with these tools is ALWAYS appreciated. Thanks to the many hundreds of persons, around the world, who have made excellent suggestions for improvement or enhanced functionality to meet their specific requirements. This feedback continues to make these tools better for me and everyone else who uses them.
All the API formats and data structures in one common copy book will be a major benefit to anyone writing their own API based applications. See the API Xref for details. See Download link for install instructions.

Olympus E-520 Digital SLR Camera with 10 Megapixels, 2.7" LCD, 14-42mm lens, Face Detection, AF Live View & In-body Stabilization - 262086
|The Olympus E-520 delivers brilliant results thanks to advanced technologies that produce clear, sharp images.
The E-520's industry-leading Image Stabilization technology, which is built into the camera body, compensates for movement so you can capture blur-free shots with any lens -- even at slow shutter speeds. Autofocus Live View brings subjects into sharp focus; it is the perfect tool for macro, portrait or even landscape shooting. This camera was built to produce amazing results for photo hobbyists and serious digital photographers alike.
Customer Reviews of Olympus E-520 Digital SLR Camera with 10 Megapixels, 2.7" LCD, 14-42mm lens, Face Detection, AF Live View & In-body Stabilization
Good camera5/21/2012
Got this camera because it was reasonable cheap digital SLR for beginner. After few uses, I decide to get a Canon. Overall, this is not a bad camera, but Canon just much better. I wish I did not spend my money on this. I still think this camera is a great product but just not as good as Canon.
The 520 is hard to beat!7/30/2008
This is an excellent, lightweight DSLR which handles superbly. Build quality is very good and the camera is designed for ease of access to a multitude of controls. Image quality is first rate with great color saturation, and an almost film-like quality. Inclusion of the in-body image stabilizer makes it a very good platform for long focal length shots and in low light, and works with all lenses, while every feature of this camera has a value and works effectively. The E520 is a superbly thought-out camera where everything falls to hand almost perfectly, so it is a joy to use. Highly recommended!
e-520 meets expectations7/26/2008
My first DSLR. I haven't used an SLR camera for 20 years. I'm mostly a family shooter and have been prviously satisfied with 4 different digital point and shoot Olympus cameras. My first was the 360L, then I purchased the C-4000, 350UZ and finally the C-8080. I've been a long time Olympus fan dating back to the OM2 SLR. The e-520 fits right in, the menu's are similiar to other cameras from this manufacturer and the feel is also familiar. Shutter lag is non-existant. With the camera in the auto mode it takes beautiful photos. I am planning on doing some concert shooting in a couple of weeks so I'm brushing up on my manual set up skills, I have a bit to remember. So far the camera works beautifully in manual. Manual focus is simple to use with the adjustment ring on the lense body. I have every confidence that this camera will do exactly as I expect, and that is to take terrific shots under extreme conditions. I ordered this camera when it first arrived on Buy.com and I still pinch myself in disbelief that I was able to save so much money buying from Buy.com. No other seller on the web was with in $100 of the price I purchased it for. With my savings I'm planning on buying the 40-150 lense kit this afternoon also from Buy.com. This lense is $70 cheaper than anyone else on the web!!! Buy.com rocks and so does my new e-520. There is one slight problem with this camera, in low light the auto focus gets confused and sometimes refuses to take a picture. This only occurs when using both autofocus systems, I suspect that this can be corrected with a camera bios update? For now I just choose to turn off the 2nd auto focus system and the camera works wonderfully.
Stunning upgrade from E-5107/9/2008
I recently sold my E-510 and moved to the E-520. A great move, the picture quality is remarkable when teamed up with the Olympus 14-54mm midgrade lens. I highly recommend this camera, since it is often overlooked by others.

Cass Great Start numbers improvingPublished 10:39pm Wednesday, May 8, 2013
LANSING— Michigan has much work to do to give infants the "Right Start" in life, a new report concludes, with little progress made in improving maternal and infant health from 2005 to 2011.
The report, released Wednesday by the Michigan League for Public Policy's Kids Count in Michigan project in time for Mother's Day, ranks the state's 54 Great Start Collaboratives, or GSCs, on eight maternal and infant health measures. Livingston GSC is No. 1, or best, while Genesee and Wayne GSCs tied for last. Cass County ranks 49th.
Statewide, the largest increase in risk was in more births to unmarried women, rising from 36 percent of all births to 42 percent, an 18 percent jump. Cass County's 25 percent increase in unwed moms was its only negative number.
"High unemployment, particularly among men, has been cited as a major reason to delay or reject marriage,'' said Jane Zehnder-Merrell, Kids Count in Michigan Project director. "Unfortunately, children born to single mothers are much more likely to face economic hardships and insecurity. Policies that grow opportunities for low-income workers will help.''
The most positive change was a 9 percent improvement in repeat teen births, to teen moms who already had a child, showing public policy can make a difference. Michigan's teen birth rate has been halved since 1990 as the result of a sustained public health and education campaign. Cass County showed no repeat teen births.
"With Mother's Day approaching, it's important to note that when we have the will, we can find the way to improve a child's chance for success in life. This information will be given to local and state policymakers to highlight successes as well as areas where improvements are needed to help guide resources,'' said Gilda Z. Jacobs, president and CEO of the League.
Of the eight indicators, five could be tracked over time, generally from 2005 to 2011. Staying about the same were teen births (9.4 percent of all births), preterm births (10.6 percent of all births) and low-birthweight babies weighing less than 5.5 pounds (8.4 percent of all births).
Of Cass County's 502 births, 61.7 percent were to uninsured low-income women. Forty-nine were born too soon.
Cass County's teen birth rate improved by 7 percent, low-birthweight babies improved 26 percent and pre-term births improved by 20 percent.
The report calls on policymakers to:
• Accept federal funds to expand eligibility of Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act, which will increase access to health services for the most economically disadvantaged women in Michigan, who are at higher risk on several Right Start factors.
• Decrease the pay equity gap in Michigan to help female-headed households. The increase in births to single women makes the issue more imperative to the well-being of children.
• Increase job training opportunities for high school graduates to build skills necessary to earn family-sustaining wages.
The report can be found online at www.mlpp.org.

Abuse shelter halfway to funding goal for Fordem building | Community Spirit
Title (Max 100 Characters)
DAIS raises money for new refuge, more space to serve
A local domestic abuse shelter is less than halfway from its goal to raise $7 million for a new facility on the north side.
According to the Domestic Abuse Intervention Services website, the group has raised $3.8 million thus far, with a remaining $3.2 million to raise through its funding campaign for a planned 56-bed refuge facility at 2102 Fordem Ave. Money has come from private donors, via fundraising events and public grants. On Feb. 13, Gov. Scott Walker said the state budget also will include $560,000 for the shelter's capital campaign.
DAIS, a 36-year-old nonprofit organization offering crisis intervention and prevention programs, said the new facility will continue the services and support the organization provides to the community plus offer enough room to meet the needs of those fleeing violence.
A masquerade fundraiser is planned in late March at the Concourse Hotel in Madison to benefit the facility.
"A new facility means victims' lives get back on track with a strong foundation that helps protect them from homelessness and further violence," the organization said.
Tickets for the March 23 evening event are $65 and include two drink tickets, a dessert bar, hors d'oeuvres, live performances and more.
For more information on the masquerade, call 608-338-1045 or visit DAIS online.

Michael DeNicola
So the entire league has a break in their schedule due to the All Star events. Happens every season around this time and it keeps die hard hockey fans, such as myself, bloodthirsty for a week.
We all know the All Star Game will be a bit different this year. And one of those differences is Marvel Comics' "The Guardian Project" created by the famous Stan Lee will be debuting sometime between periods.
The thirty teams' characters have been unveiled and I can't help but chuckle at a number of them. Sure, everyone's got an opinion and I'm sure this project seems kickass to a lot of people out there but I find it to be quite stupid.
I realize it's just a gimmick DURING a gimmick but considering I'm left with nothing to write about for the next 7-days, I figured I would go ahead and attack each Marvel Guardian character one-by-one.
Let's get to it ---
The Bruin
Yogi Bear and Rambo if they made sweet love. That is one mad mammal. What's with all the fire in the background? Did the Viet Cong crash a picnic? Stan Lee thought long and hard for this one. He simply said, "Let's go with a bear only make it look like a juiced up Madonna".
The Sabre
Here comes....THE SABRE! What's a villain to do? Oh, I know. Turn on a goddamn heat lamp. That icicle in his hand will turn into a palmful of water. By then the only threat he'll pose is watering the weeds on my lawn.
The Flame......r
I admit, the power to manipulate fire is one badass super power. But nothing about Calgary's Guardian character is badass. It's like a cross between The Foot Clan from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Freddie Mercury's wet dream. I find it comical that this hero is stopping a reign of asteroids from destroying our planet below, but the real Calgary Flames blue line couldn't stop an 86-year old Beatrice driving her scooter out the front door of an old folks home.
The colors used in this photo, however, are....FABULOOOOOUS!!!
The Hurricane
Don't try and attempt to light your candles around this piece of work because he blows harder than George Michael behind a closed door. Stan Lee had to try to make this guy look non-threatening. For Christ sake, he's weaing a f*cking wedding dress!
The Blackhawk
You kidding me? Helicopter Man fires jizz from his palms. Stan Lee stood there questioning how he can turn Robo Cop into a Transformer. This is what he got. I'd be more scared of a hooker with crotch-crickets than this asshat.
The Avalanche
This guy aint too bad. The face and skin pigment may be similar to Captain Planet, but other than that the hero's powering his flight using ice rockets. ICE ROCKETS!
The Blue Jacket
I don't get it; did Stan Lee get the special effects director from Wild Wild West when he thought this one up? It's like a Civil War vet mates with a Verizon Wireless Android.
The Columbus Blue Jacket; firing a round in every direction except the correct one. How ironic.
The Star
Let's look past the fact this hero's saluting Hitler for a moment and focus on his feet. What's up, pal? The superhero store ran outta boots so you're stuck with toe socks?
And answer me this; Why is Swamp Thing wearing a powerback pack?
The Red Wing
Someone dial the creators of the Speed Racer series and ask for your share of the money awarded to them for copyright infringement.
The hell is this? Looks like our Red Wing hero is having problems with his training wheels. And when the tread depth on your tires is deep enough to destroy the asphalt beneath you, perhaps it's time you drop some weight or head back to Pep Boys.
And why is he pedaling? He's got two enormous rockets attached to his wings. Take your seat, hit the ignition and enjoy the ride, bud!
The Oiler
Oh, fantastic. BP Global is training terrorists now. While The Red Wing's annually spending thousands of dollars on fuel to power those winged rockets of his, this son of a bitch is running around firing off black gold all over the place like it's water. Excuse me, Lord Browne, save a few sea creatures and shut your shit down, alright?
The Panther
Well it's finally happened; Batman and Catwoman had offspring and he's a chalkboard nightmare to every grammar school student in the world.
Nice manicure, kitten.
The King
What exactly is this guy's super power? Apparently it's the ability to dodge every break in the earth's crust. Good to know that if my vacation to Hawaii turns to hell, this hero will be around to guide me out.
Something tells me that cape is not very practical in situations such as these....
The Wild
This hero is a hit at the techno clubs. The unbelievable ability to fire glow-necklaces from his paws will come in handy next time I decide to roll on ecstasy and listen to Nikolay Zherdev's iPod. I bet he'll get billed by his tanning salon for those goggles.
The Hab
Cobra Commander must be royally pissed off. Not because he's dressed in red, but because he's got a Montreal Canadiens logo on his chest. And Iron Man never said this hero could borrow his boots.
The Predator
I dig this Guardian. It's simple and to the point. A sabertooth lion running upright and slicing through brush. At least I know what would happen to me if I were a villain.
The Devil
What am I looking at? Looks like Mr. Ed grew horns and ate too much Baja Fresh. And what's with the thigh? Is this hero wearing Arnold Schwarzenegger as a leg pad?
The Senator
King Leonidas meets The Birdcage. This hero and The King both share a knack for avoiding volcanic disruption. And what is that glowing torch he's holding in his right hand? Is this guy a superhero or part of a lynch mob?
Let's not overlook that Shamus here is sporting an iron kilt. The Senator will riverdance you to your demise.
The Flyer
He's the Flyer and he's got wings. I get the connection. What bothers me is his super power to grow an erection made of smoke.
The Coyote
Teen Wolf goes dressed as Wolverine for Halloween. Apparently this hero lives in a mountain that resembles a T-Rex. I'm not sure exactly what that's supposed to mean. There's a lot in this picture that I have no clue what's going on.....kinda like Phoenix's ownership.
The Penguin
Don't worry if the apocalyptic planet earth gets iced over because Silver Surfing Cyclopse has it covered. Come frozen trouble, this Penguin will certainly dive right in.
I guess the power to slide like Tom Cruise in Risky Business has its perqs in the crime world.
The Shark
Oh, you are so screwed.....if you go in the ocean.
Not to self: Don't go in the ocean. If you stay on land The Shark can't do a damn thing.....sort of like meeting it in the Western Conference Finals.
The Bolt
I can't get over this guy's pure white mohawk. How exactly does that work to his advantage? Does he use it to whip every television airing a Just For Men commercial?
Then again, this hero has the power of manipulating lightning. The Greek god Zeus had the same power and he was the alpha god. I guess all I'm saying is unless you want your ass zapped and fried, don't talk trash about this guy.
The Maple? Leaf?
What the hell have the Toronto Maple Leafs done to deserve this corny superhero to represent them in The Guardian Project? This forest dwelling creature's super power is to grow endless amounts of root whenever he wants.
So basically he's a Ron Jeremy with morning wood?
The Canuck
Super Moby Dick has the powers to walk and stomp on water. He also wears that dolphin trench coat like a badass. Of course we all know he's powerless without his twin beside him....
The Capital
Half man. Half eagle. I've seen something like this before in Louisiana when a man was arrested for sexing a chicken coop.
In this picture The Capital is pointing and saying, "There went the Canadiens".
The Ranger
Who would have guessed Judge Dredd was a Rangers fan? And if you ask me, this Captain America knock-off should be operating that floating snowmobile with both hands. Hey Doc Brown, if you need to shield yourself then perhaps using one of your two free hands isn't the smart decision. Just because the apocalypse occured doesn't mean there's no more rules of the road.....uh, or friendly skies!
The Duck
Stan Lee went completely the wrong way with this one. When was the last time you saw a duck in the ocean? If you ask me, the Duck Guardian should of been in flight wearing a bomber jacket, sporting goggles and smoking a giant cigar, but the creators decided to put him on a suped up hover-board and dress him like Jacques Cousteau on P90-X.
And he doesn't even have a super power! A friggin flightless duck who can toss a half-ass harpoon. LOOK AT THAT THING! Looks like it should be used during a Billiards competition. My friends and I have tossed lawn darts bigger than that straight in the air and scattered....
.....that reminds me; RIP, Nick. I miss you, baby brother
The Islander
Bane from Batman and Cleatus the Robot are absolutely stunned. Their dumpster baby, The Islander, has survived its garbage nightmare and led a life of vengeance! This Guardian hero wastes no time firing his ridiculously large grappling hook in the face of danger.
When his powers are needed, the citizens of Long Island shine his symbol in to the night sky. Problem is, he has yet to report....
The Blue
I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say I don't think St. Louis Blues fans are happy about their Guardian hero being a creepy pedophile. I'm surprised he's wearing pants. Usually exhibitionists are nude under their trenchcoats.
You know this guy enjoys his hours spent in those disgusting porn shop stalls yanking his pudd to Dyke Hard. What in the hell was Stan Lee thinking? I bet this hero's weapons are a pair of binoculars and a rag soaked in chloroform.
The Thrasher
The Thrasher decided to raid Magneto's wardrobe, grab two fistfuls of dry ice, light a few firecrackers under his feet and call himself a superhero.
Don't mind the searchlights behind him. They're just looking for a couple dozen hometown spectators. Apparently the Thrasher's performance went unseen in the Atlanta skies....

EFF in the News
Seth Schoen, a senior staff technologist with the Electronic Frontier Foundation in San Francisco, is also concerned by the amount of control device makers such as Apple and Amazon are inserting into their products through DRM. Last year, Amazon remotely deleted several e-books — ironically George Orwell's 1984 among them — from the Kindle devices of customers who had bought them.
Seth Schoen of the Electronic Frontier Foundation uncovered the existence of these dots through the Freedom of Information Act and says that the government should at least put out warnings or an advisement to consumers saying that these dots exist.
Attorney Matt Zimmerman of the Electronic Frontier Foundation in San Francisco, which represents Stokklerk, said suits such as USA Technologies' are a common tactic of companies trying to suppress criticism.
Google executives admitted last week that the company's Street View cars "mistakenly" picked up bits of private data from WiFi networks while cruising neighborhoods around the world for information used in products like Google Maps...Privacy lawyers said the Oregon class action filed Monday appears to be the first related to the case.
"I wouldn't be surprised if there's more than one filed," said Marcia Hofmann, staff attorney for the Electronic Frontier Foundation in San Francisco.
Even deleting your account won't protect you. According to the Electronic Frontier Foundation, Facebook is trying to trick their users into allowing them to keep their data even after they've "deleted" their account. But if you just delete your account, they still will retain your data and make it accessible to their commercial clients.
Web users are vulnerable to being identified and profiled by Web sites they visit, even if they employ common measures to keep their browsing habits private, according to new research from the privacy advocacy group Electronic Frontier Foundation.
Foursquare is only the latest example of America's fascination with trading away what the Electronic Frontier Foundation calls "locational privacy"—for convenience and safety.
"Several companies are already selling products that claim to use browser fingerprinting to help websites identify users and their online activities. This experiment is an important reality check, showing just how powerful these tracking mechanisms are," the Sydney Morning Herald quoted senior EFF technologist Peter Eckersley as saying.
"Facebook needs to have a few very simple high-level controls" so users can keep data private, said Peter Eckersley, senior staff technologist at the Electronic Frontier Foundation. The company, he said, should stop acting as if "they have a mission to make all of our private lives public."
Four months and 470,161 browsers later, the EFF says it has reached a conclusion: More than eight out of 10 Web browsers, or 84%, have "unique signatures" that can be used to identify them. When browsers had Adobe Flash or Java plug-ins, 94% were "unique and trackable," according to the EFF.

Wildfires claim 189 homes in northern Colorado
LOVELAND, Colo. Firefighters faced dangerous conditions across much of the Rocky Mountain region Monday, as they toiled in hot, dry weather to battle a wildfire that has charred nearly 92 square miles in northern Colorado.
Authorities said they determined eight more homes have burned in the fire near Fort Collins. The blaze started June 9 and now has destroyed at least 189 homes - the most in the state's history. The fire is 50 percent contained.
The wind was relatively calm Monday, despite forecasts of gusts of up to 50 mph, fire information officer Brett Haberstick said. Temperatures, however, were in the mid-90s, and the relative humidity was extremely low at 3 to 5 percent, he said.
Other wildfires were burning in warm, arid weather from Wyoming to Arizona to Southern California, where a blaze that prompted the evacuation of at least 150 homes was 30 percent contained Monday.
Fire officials warned that the 907-acre fire in eastern San Diego County still threatens 200 houses, sheds and other buildings. The fire has destroyed at least one home.
In Colorado, another fire that started Sunday in the foothills west of Colorado Springs prompted evacuations of cabins, a Boy Scout camp and a recreation area near the Elevenmile Canyon Reservoir, which provides water to the Denver area.
That fire has burned about 1 1/2 square miles, and fire managers said it has the potential to grow much more in the dry conditions. Authorities hadn't listed a containment figure by Monday.
Meanwhile, a fire near Pagosa Springs in the southwestern part of the state grew to nearly 19 square miles and was 30 percent contained.
As firefighters try to get the upper hand on the blaze near Fort Collins, which has burned large swaths of private and U.S. Forest Service land, local authorities have dispatched roving patrols to combat looting.
On Sunday, deputies arrested Michael Stillman Maher, 30, of Denver, on charges including theft and impersonating a firefighter. The sheriff's department said Maher was driving through the fire zone with phony firefighter credentials and a stolen government license plate.
His truck was later seen near a bar in Laporte, and investigators said they found a gun and stolen property in the vehicle.
Jeff Corum, whose home burned on the first day of the northern Colorado fire, described whirling, unpredictable winds that drove the blaze.
"That's what it's been doing, back and forth," Corum said. "It's just like a washing machine, and it's just rolling up there, and that's the way the mountains are."
Corum grabbed some clothing and two weapons when he fled, but not his credit cards. He's spent a few nights in a motel, some at a Red Cross evacuation center and some in his truck.
The fire also is forcing wildlife to flee the flames. A moose seeking shelter in Fort Collins is back in the wild after swimming across Horsetooth Reservoir, the Fort Collins Coloradoan reported.

ClimateGate: CRU Agrees To Publish All The Data. That They Haven't Thrown Away
Yesterday, the "scientists" involved in ClimateGate made an important announcement
Leading British scientists at the University of East Anglia, who were accused of manipulating climate change data – dubbed Climategate – have agreed to publish their figures in full.
In a statement welcomed by climate change sceptics, the university said it would make all the data accessible as soon as possible, once its Climatic Research Unit (CRU) had negotiated its release from a range of non-publication agreements.
Today, "um, well, ya see, our Bad!"
SCIENTISTS at the University of East Anglia (UEA) have admitted throwing away much of the raw temperature data on which their predictions of global warming are based.
It means that other academics are not able to check basic calculations said to show a long-term rise in temperature over the past 150 years.
They are saying they dumped the raw data, after it had been adjusted, massaged, given a nice vacation in the Sahara Desert, during a move to a new building to save room. The originals, kept on paper and magnetic tape (it was the 80's, after all), were deemed unimportant. Considering the real importance of the data, and the money these folks have been granted over the years, it might have been worth the investment to rent a self storage space, or build a shed, or something.
Considering the importance of the data in showing that their theories about Man induced warming, this could be one way of "hiding the decline." Just wait till the government hearings start, and they have to explain why they dumped the data, and are raked over the coals.
Riehl World View: The very foundation of science is that it be reproducible. These unprofessional hacks have made re-production of their work to validate their conclusions impossible.
TigerHawk: So, basically we are being asked to restructure the entire economy of the planet on the say-so of a few "scientists" whose work cannot be verified or even reconstructed. Is there any intellectually honest person who thinks that is a good idea?

Dr. Pan seems like a nice, intelligent person, but she has some kind of personal problem that keeps her from understanding her patients. My friends have repeatedly had to inform her of things she herself said. She'll recommend contradictory services or ideas and can't seem to keep track of her train of thought. She suggested a referral for an older patient then was offended that he was referred. They're clearly intelligent people but some of the people in that clinic make me worry that these neurological problems are catching. I suggest dealing with the nurses since they seem to understand what's going on whereas something screwy is going on with her ability to communicate or think.

Join author Brian Trifon as he shows how to improve music and audio productions using virtual instruments in Logic Pro. This course tours the program's virtual instruments, including the ES2 hybrid synthesizer, Sculpture physical modeling synthesizer, EFM1 FM synthesizer, the EVOC 20 vocoder, the Ultrabeat drum synthesizer, and the EXS24 sampler, and shows how to achieve various effects with each instrument's parameters. The course also covers working with oscillators and filters, understanding signal flow, creating custom synthesizer patches, adding effects, synthesizing speech, creating a library of custom sound samples, and much more.
Virtual Instruments with Logic Pro will be updating on a monthly basis, eventually covering all the virtual instruments in the application. Look for the latest movies here and on the lynda.com blog.
ES M is a monophonic, subtractive synthesizer that's really great for creating focused, punchy bass sounds, lead sounds that cut through the mix, and a variety of other analog-sounding synth sounds. Much of ES M's strength and utility comes from its simplicity. We tend to think of "more is better," but sometimes the simpler tools get the job done with less hassle. Throughout this chapter we'll be exploring the signal flow in ES M, how to use the Oscillator section and the built-in Low Pass Filter, as well as the Amplifier section with the overdrive control.
Before we dig into the details of ES M, let's listen to an example of it in action. So in this example I've got six instances of ES M that are creating all of the different synth parts, and Ultrabeat, which is another Logic instrument, is creating the drums, so check it out. (music playing)

Normandy Beaches tour guide explains the german Cemetery
October 2014
We visited the German Cemetery as part of our tour, and the guide began with an explanation of the grounds and the history behind the cemetery. It was very interesting and brought another perspective to the Normandy Tour, reminding us that BOTH sides lost sons, brothers and fathers.
