Coyotes chase down Falcons in blowout victory
Deon Hill and Amado Ramirez each ran for three touchdowns as Alice wore down Scotts Valley High School from California Friday night at Memorial Stadium.
Hill and Ramirez each had scoring runs of more than 60 yards and each had more than 100 yards on the ground as the Coyotes moved to 2-0 on the season.
Alice struck first as Hill capped the opening drive with a one-yard plunge. It was the second time he scored on the drive as an earlier 68-yard scoring run was called back by a penalty.
Scotts Valley took advantage of a short punt and an Alice penalty to drive only 24 yards for the tying score on a Blaine Bariteau 9-yard burst.
From there it was mostly Alice's offense controlling the game, wearing down the team from California in the South Texas heat and humidity.

© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
LAWRENCEVILLE - Gwinnett County officials are proposing a five-year sales tax extension to fund roads, parks, libraries and a county courthouse, officials said during a meeting Thursday.The special purpose local option sales tax, which has netted $1.9 billion in projects since 1988, expires at the end of March, but officials are expected to place an extension on the ballot in November. Since 1996, residents have approved the 1 percent sales tax in four-year increments, but officials said Thursday they would ask for a five-year extension, which would bring in about $850 million. Under the proposal, the county would pursue a cost-sharing method to set aside the first 20 percent of proceeds for recreation and library projects. The remainder would be shared with local cities based on population, giving the 15 municipalities about $132.7 million for their own projects. "It's made a huge difference for us. It's something we need to serve our citizens well," said Berkeley Lake Mayor Lois Salter, who heads the Gwinnett Municipal Association. While county officials gave cities about $22 million in the 2001 sales tax program, the county was required by law to share a greater amount with cities beginning with the 2005 program. With that, Lawrenceville and Duluth built city halls; Snellville bought police cars; Lilburn enhanced its City Park; and other projects have been pursued throughout Gwinnett. While city officials will turn in final project lists next month, possible projects include a passive park in Snellville, parking enhancements in downtown Norcross, a new water plant in Buford and new city halls in Berkeley Lake and Lilburn, not to mention millions of dollars worth of road projects, officials said Thursday. County Administrator Jock Connell said the county government's share will likely be allotted between transportation, parks, library and public safety facilities with specific projects formulated through a citizens selection process, as in past years. He said commissioners are considering earmarking $90 million for a courthouse expansion, which would qualify as a project for money to be set aside before the sharing formula with cities. But Connell said officials wanted to give a larger share to the cities. "We chose not to pull that much off the top," he said. "We thought this was more fair. Our citizens use them (parks and roads) all, so everybody benefits." An agreement with the cities must be reached by Aug. 15, officials said, with commissioners calling for the November referendum Aug. 19. Connell said an independent group has begun working on a campaign for the extension.

2013 xts
I'm new to cadillac and absolutely luv this car and the Cadillac brand!! I do have a question about CUE, is there a way to mark one of my phones a favorite so the system would automatically initialize that particular phone when I start the car? I always have 2 iPhones with me, one for work and one is my personal phone. Right it randomly chooses either one and I'd like it to default to my personal phone.

Re: 2013 xts
The manual indicates that it will pair to the one you last used in the car. If you only want to pair to one phone all the time you can delete the phone you don't want to use from the CUE system.

First thing I did was updating the icon for the app. This is a screenshot of what it looks like on my iPad.

I've had good luck using the Spiral Solutions Protein treatment, followed by their Deeply Decadent conditioner, with my fine 3B hair. This combo of protein and moisture could help you. But I agree that ultimately, you do just have to let go of the damaged length -- either a little bit at a time, or by getting it cut up to collarbone length and then growing it back out. Clearly you have pretty hair -- it will all be so worth it!

I use a lot of software: some big programs, a lot of small ones, plugins and extensions… Some of them are installed and I use them every day, some of them I use once a year. I store all distributives in one directory, for some software I even save multiple versions. Can anyone give advice on how to organize all those files, so it will be easy searching through them? I use Mac OS X Snow Leopard.

Super User is a question and answer site for computer enthusiasts and power users. It's 100% free, no registration required.
Whenever I download software, patches, plugins, etc, that I plan to keep for possible future use, I rename the files to something meaningful. Downloads often have weird names, and software installers in particular can have generic names. I don't replace the original filename, but I add text to its beginning: the application name, along with any important variant information like version.
Although I primarily use Windows, this should work with any O/S.
So the installer for an application called "Fnord" version 1.2, downloaded as "setup_fv12.exe", becomes "FNORD_V1.2_setup_fv12.exe".
I formed this habit a while ago and it has paid off on numerous occasions.

Originally written on Fox Sports Wisconsin | Last updated 1/20/13
MILWAUKEE Tyler Summitt didn't grow up playing video games with his friends. He spent his childhood at team banquets and Final Fours. The son of legendary University of Tennessee women's basketball coach Pat Summitt, Tyler was raised differently than most. And that's not a complaint -- it's a compliment. It's one thing to be the son of the winningest coach in college basketball history but another to live a profession from a young age and soak up every bit of knowledge possible. By the time high school came, Tyler Summitt knew he wanted to be a coach. When his playing career as a walk-on at Tennessee ended last March, he was ready for the next step. At 21, Summitt set out searching for the door that would lead him to his first college head coaching job. North Carolina's Roy Williams and Louisville's Rick Pitino talked to him about joining their programs as a graduate assistant. Multiple women's team around the country had openings -- including the program his mom built at Tennes...

PREORDER IS CLOSED. You can buy the Limited Edition from us at
conventions — we will be at Anthrocon in early July, in Pittsburgh,
and then Raifurrest in Septembeer, in Seattle — and we may reopen
this store later. Also, the content will be available via our retail partners
and Amazon in some format within a few months. Either way, stay tuned for
news! You can follow us on Twitter at @jarlidium.
The Limited Edition of
Endtown volumes 3 and 4,
the Ursa Major award-nominated
webcomic by Aaron Neathery, which is still running five days a week at
These two volumes cover the story arcs "The Ballad of Holly and Wally"
and "Countdown".
LIMITED EDITION? These books are in the same landscape format as
volumes 1 and 2 were. The original plan was to have a cover price of $15.
Due to an unexpected cost increase for printing,
we can't sell these books in this format via Amazon or our other
retail partners for a cover price that anybody would reasonably pay.
However, we can sell them directly, even with preorder
discounts, so for the sake of the fans who have been waiting to get
books of the more recent strips, we are accepting preorders in this format.
Only 150 copies of each volume will be printed, and 100 of those are
available for preorder here. (Half of the remainder go to Aaron, and the
other half will be available for sale at conventions which we attend as
dealers, such as Anthrocon.)
WILL I EVER BE ABLE TO GET THEM VIA AMAZON? We are committed to
making these strips available in print; we just have to work with Aaron
and shop around for printers to find a format that looks good and
doesn't drive the cover price through the roof. Volumes 1 and 2
are also affected by the cost increase and we will find a solution
for them as well.
This process will take some time, but we hope to have the retail
editions of all volumes out in the Fall.
Welcome to Endtown...
A mutagenic plague followed by a global war fought with disintegration
weaponry has left much of the Earth a desert of fine powder and what
remains of humanity fragmented into humans, animal-like mutants and
bloodthirsty monstrosities with lots of teeth. The surface, still teeming
with the mutagenic virus, has become the domain of the dreaded Topsiders;
well-organized, technologically advanced, and heavily armed un-mutated
humans sworn to exterminate mutations of any kind in order to clear the
way for the eventual resurgence of a new, genetically clean humanity. Faced
with annihilation, mutants and "impure" humans have retreated into the
depths of the planet to form communities and hope to win, or at least
survive, what may prove to be mankind's final war. Endtown is the story
of one of those communities.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb,
Dermot Elworthy "Contra Posaune" (Florida , United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bach, J.S.: The Art of Fugue - Emerson String Quartet (Audio CD)
The number of reviews given here makes another from me superfluous but I should like to take issue with David Bryson's acerbic judgment on the ending of the work.
Essentially, the Art of Fugue is a cerebral exercise which can be produced on most keyboards or combinations of instruments. On the other hand, it's workings can be fully realised from the score without recourse to any instruments at all. Generally speaking, I am in accord with Mr Bryson regarding "emotion" - it has no place in the consideration of this work. Nevertheless, in this particular instance I feel an exception is required in respect of the ending (although it does not concern the music, per se).
I am not a particular fan of this quartet but having enjoyed this disc for several years, I consider that the Emersons play the AoF to perfection on this really excellent DG recording. Bach did not expire across the table during the writing of Contrapunctus XIV but their breaking off to leave it in its unfinished state with the BACH motif seemingly floating in some ghostly finality, to my mind at least, is musically acceptable in an historical sense, emotionally poignant and a thoroughly effective device. Perhaps I might feel differently if I was convinced of the rightness of any of the alternative endings subsequently put forward by others. For me, this version is just fine and I think the empty chairs in the cover photo is a clever allusion - assuming that it is . . .
However, I do agree with Bryson's views of the liner notes; these are unhelpfully pretentious.
Otherwise, this is a first class production; the un-coloured timbre evidently characteristic of the modern instruments used in this recording seems most appropriate.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sublime music beautifully interpreted,
Nicholas Rees (London, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bach, J.S.: The Art of Fugue - Emerson String Quartet (Audio CD)
Bach's "Art of Fugue" occupies an important position in his overall output representing his most structured exploration of counterpoint, one of Bach's key preoccupations. The collection opens with a simple fugue the theme of which is subsequently reworked again and again employing ever more sophisticated contrapuntal devices. This is deep and stiring music with much beauty which relieves the possibility of austerity.
The Art of Fugue is not scored for any stated instrument but fits well on keyboard where almost all of the pieces are playable as written; keyboard versions, therefore predominated in recording. However, the string quartet setting delivers the sense of the music very powerfully and I have to declare myself a fan of this approach though I do play these pieces at the harpsichord myself. The key advantage of the string quartet setting is that each instrument can follow the voice through with optimum phrasing and fluency - somthing that not even the best keyboard player can master given the complex fingering that fugues demand. From a listening point of view therefore I would argue that the quartet is superior. There is also a warmth in the music that is very appealing.
The Emerson Quartet delivers an inspiring and engaging rendition of this important work. Timing, phrasing and touch are exemplary thoughout and the overall impression is of a serene and confident progression through one of the most important pieces of music ever written.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent,
N. E. M. Goulder (Saffron Walden, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bach, J.S.: The Art of Fugue - Emerson String Quartet (Audio CD)
I recently spent much time studying three versions of the Art of Fugue, being enough irritated with a harpsichord version that I went out and bought Aimard on piano and the Emerson Quartet doing it on four string instruments. These add to the old vinyls I had from years ago of a chamber orchestral arrangement and the lean, intellectual playing of Charles Rosen on the piano, long out of the catalogue. So now I have five versions, plus the score itself, a fair portion of which I play in my own semi-competent way.
Of the five, I think Aimard and the Emerson win pretty easily.
There's no doubt that the four string players bring out the individual voice lines far more effectively than could ever be possible on a keyboard, so, in music that is fundamentally and supremely contrapuntal, this really is the answer. The Emerson also do a lovely job of it, although I regret their acquiescing in a sentimental tradition of playing a completely irrelevant chorale at the end. They're particularly good in the bigger fugues, and bring the unfinished one to its open end really effectively.
But I put Aimard up alongside them because he is so musical. He brings a delightful variety of touch and mood, winning me over especially to some of the canons which I had never taken too seriously – he makes the long slow one sound a counterpart to the transcendent 25th Goldberg variation, which pays a high compliment to the music. He also shapes the conclusions to the fugues handsomely, using precisely paced ritardandi to great effect when Bach himself sometimes falls a little short in preparing for the final bars.
I am unimpressed by Davitt Moroney's harpsichord version. His instrument is supposed to be made to sound as an eighteenth century harpsichord would have done, but its sound is heavily "in your face" and the lack of variety in its qualities only make me regret once more the pain that the "authentic instruments at all costs" outlook causes. Of course Bach would have been much surprised to hear his music played on a modern grand piano, but for me the objective is to hear creative performance.
Lastly I think the chamber orchestral options are really a bit much. It's interesting to hear this great series of compositions in so much instrumental colour, but in the end I think it makes for a distraction even allowing for the repetition inherent in the work's themes. Go for Aimard or the Emerson.

5.0 out of 5 stars BE FAIR TO BACH,
DAVID BRYSON (Glossop Derbyshire England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bach, J.S.: The Art of Fugue - Emerson String Quartet (Audio CD)
Probably the first thing that needs saying here is that the anonymous performers are none other than the Emerson Quartet. The second thing that needs saying is that while the performance and recording are absolutely top-notch in my estimation, there are two things about this production that I quite strongly dislike. The first is that the big final fugue, believed to have been left unfinished by the dying composer, breaks off abruptly. To me, this is a completely pointless procedure. Either provide a conclusion or leave the piece unplayed altogether. Providing a conclusion here is not like trying to provide a missing last page to a symphony by Shostakovich or even by Haydn, where there would be no way of knowing what final surprises the composer might have in store. If Bach's Art of Fugue is anything, it is some kind of ultimate in method and logical development. Bach's own conclusion can't be determined with complete certainty, but it can be predicted better than in most other works, and if one thing is absolutely certain it's that Bach did not intend a sudden silence. There is a conclusion by Donald Francis Tovey, there is another used by Davitt Moroney in his eminent harpsichord rendering, and I expect there are numerous others. For anyone who cannot bear to listen to a single note not guaranteed as by Bach, an extra track could be created at the point where his manuscript leaves off, and the rest of us could ignore it and let the music play through to some coherent ending. My other problem is with a liner-note that I find utterly insufferable. Most music-lovers probably want some commentary and guidance in this abstruse and didactic score. What we are offered here is a text that tries to do incompatible things and does them both very badly. Churchill once remarked, on seeing the name Bossom in the list of his new members of parliament 'That name is neither one thing nor the other'. This liner note is neither one thing nor the other. On the one hand it parades a pretentious ragbag of bogus, irrelevant and distracting pseudo-complexities, and on the other it attempts a talking-down-to colloquial style that I personally find intolerable. Not every music lover is likely to want as much detail as is contained in Tovey's great Companion to the work, but there is an excellent, instructive and readable short commentary by him in the chamber music volume of his Essays in Musical Analysis.
The Emersons give the first 11 numbers in the usual sequence, then one of two versions of the canon by augmentation in contrary motion, then the first pair of mirror fugues, then the other 3 canons, then the second pair of mirror fugues, then the alternative version of the canon by augmentation, followed by the unfinished fugue and the chorale 'Vor deinen Thron' by way of conclusion. The style thoughout is severe and serious. The dynamic level is more or less unvarying except for some understandable build-up at the climactic #11 and, more questionably, just before the final lacuna of #14. There is little or nothing by way of 'expressive' phrasing, and for that relief much thanks say I. Expressiveness in any ordinary sense is as out of place here as it would be in Newton's Pricipia Mathematica. Some fugues are as 'expressive' as any other kind of music, not only in the Italian tradition of improvised fugues that underlies the fugues of Handel, but sometimes even in the fully worked-out and academic German style of which this composition is the ultimate exemplar. Here I am firmly of the school that believes that any such interpretation is grotesquely out of place. The normal quartet instruments are supplemented where necessary by a tenor viola to provide some low notes below the usual instrument's reach, the players' seating is reversed in the mirror fugues, and the quartet members offer some of their own special thoughts on the meaning of the work to them.

Prof Harvey Crichton (Gloucester, Oxford, London, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bach, J.S.: The Art of Fugue - Emerson String Quartet (Audio CD)
The very best version of this I have ever heard. DG do it again. This explores all the mysticism as well as the purity of the symetry and maths of this piece. Useful information in the booklet and just a very clear and precise recording of one of Bach`s finest and most intense late works. A real 5 for me. I am extremely fond of Bach and this piece and this version. Highly recommended. I can think of no faults with this piece at all. No doubt someone will. I am yet to hear better. It has a wonderfully clear and soaring kind of beauty and clarity to this piece and a great recording.

5.0 out of 5 stars a thoroughly recommendable CD,
hillbank68 "almac1975" (Fife, Scotland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bach, J.S.: The Art of Fugue - Emerson String Quartet (Audio CD)
I am no great expert on this music, but the string quartet in which I play is planning to make its way through it, section by section, and having begun the process, I find it exceedingly fulfilling and satisfying. I bought this highly-regarded CD to have a point of reference for this project, and I find it in every respect beautiful, thoughtful and worthy of the music. The players are expert, the sound is glorious, the approach highly musical and the balance and recording state-of-the-art. As time goes on I'll get to know it and appreciate it more fully and deeply - and I look forward to that - and I have no doubt that this CD will play a valuable part in that process.

5.0 out of 5 stars Top Class,
By A Customer
This review is from: Bach, J.S.: The Art of Fugue - Emerson String Quartet (Audio CD)
The first version of this I bought was the Neville Marriner package on Phillips Duo, teamed with The Musical Offering.
In that the mixture of using harpsichord, organ and a combination of strings and woodwind on different tracks irritated me a little and had me wanting to hear all the peices played by strings.
As it turns out, I'm now very glad I have both. Hearing it all on the same combination of instruments helped me to realise the value of the variety on the Marriner version.
This version is (it goes without saying) wonderfully played and the string quartet format suits the contrapuncti well.
Personally I like the sudden end in the last peice. I've heard this music described as being like God thinking. The sudden end to this incredibly ordered but compassionate music reminds me of mortality. It seems to fit, somehow.

Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly says quarterback Everett Golson did well during a full workout and will start for the the No. 5 (in BCS Standings) Fighting Irish at No. 8 Oklahoma on Saturday. Kelly said Tuesday that Golson is at 100 percent. Kelly benched Golson against Brigham Young last week as a precaution, saying he wanted to give him more time to recover from a concussion sustained in a helmet-to-helmet hit against Stanford. Kelly says Golson is feeling confident heading into the game against the Sooners (5-1). Golson has struggled at times for the Irish (7-0), but Kelly says he is making progress. Kelly says Golson had his best four plays against Stanford just before he was hurt.

HARRISBURG — The Democratic sweep at the top of Pennsylvania's ballot has so energized the party that three prospective candidates are already sending out strong signals of interest in contesting Republican Gov. Tom Corbett's re-election bid two years from now.
York businessman Tom Wolf, Philadelphia millionaire Tom Knox and state government veteran John Hanger said in recent telephone interviews they are seriously considering seeking the 2014 Democratic nomination or have already decided to run.
Former U.S. Rep. Joe Sestak, a retired Navy vice admiral who narrowly lost his 2010 bid for U.S. Senate, declined to be interviewed by telephone. In an email, he said he is very interested in returning to public service but would not discuss his plans for 2014.
Several other Democrats did not rule out campaigns, including Allentown Mayor Ed Pawlowski, state Treasurer Rob McCord and retiring state Auditor General Jack Wagner.
The state's best-known Democrats — U.S. Sen. Bob Casey, who was re-elected this month, and former Gov. Ed Rendell — made clear that they do not intend to run.
My focus has been and will continue to be the work I'm doing, Casey said Wednesday. I'm very content in the Senate.
Rendell, a regular guest on the TV talk-show circuit since he left office in 2011, said the state constitution bars him from running for governor again and that even if he could run, he wouldn't.
I've been there, done that, he said.
In the Nov. 6 election, Pennsylvania voters picked Democrats for president, U.S. Senate and all three of the statewide row offices.
Democratic interest in ousting Corbett has been fueled by factors that include his low job-approval rating — 40 percent in a Quinnipiac University poll released this month, up from a nadir of 35 percent in June — and public disenchantment over more than $1 billion in spending cuts for public schools and state-supported universities last year.
Corbett has two years to fine-tune his message and build a re-election campaign now in its earliest stages. He'll have the incumbent's fundraising advantage in a campaign that his top political adviser estimates will cost at least $25 million to $30 million.
Still, among many Democrats, optimism runs high.
I believe I'm going to run right now, said Knox, 71, a businessman who ran unsuccessfully for Philadelphia mayor in 2007 and abandoned a 2010 bid for governor before the primary.
Wolf, 63, said his decision on whether to run ultimately will hinge on the financial condition of the building-products company he heads.
I'm not only not ruling it out, I would love to do this, said Wolf, who considered running in 2010.
Hanger, 55, a Harrisburg lawyer, said he hopes to make a decision on a run within the next few weeks.
He served on the state Public Utility Commission for five years in the 1990s and headed the Department of Environmental Protection under Rendell for nearly three years. He also was the founding president of the environmental group PennFuture.
I'm as strongly interested as you can be, he said.
Pawlowski said he is seriously considering a bid for governor in 2014, but winning a third term as Allentown's mayor next year is his priority for now.
McCord, a former venture capitalist from the Philadelphia suburbs who was re-elected as state treasurer this month, said the 2014 election was not my focus right now but did not rule out a campaign.
Wagner, who is winding up an eight-year tenure as state auditor general, said he is not ruling out another gubernatorial bid but that he is concentrating more on a possible campaign for Pittsburgh mayor next year. Wagner ran for governor in 2010 but came in second in a four-way Democratic primary.

Firm based in Evansville now faces uncertainty
Bristol-Myers: Mead Johnson subsidiary may not be right fit
EVANSVILLE -- The future of Mead Johnson Nutritionals and its Evansville headquarters remained in question Wednesday after officials with its parent company, Bristol-Myers Squibb, said they would be deciding what to do with the company.
But a Mead Johnson spokesman said Bristol-Myers' plan to cut its workforce by 10 percent and close more than half of its factories will have little effect on the Mead Johnson plant in Evansville.
"This (job cuts) is really about the medicines business," said Pete Paradossi, a Mead Johnson spokesman here. Mead Johnson makes formula for infants. It's best known product is Enfamil, although it sells more than 70 products.
Speaking at an investors meeting in New York City on Wednesday, Bristol-Myers officials said Mead Johnson may not fit in with the direction they want Bristol-Myers to take in coming years.
James Cornelius, Bristol's chief executive officer, said his ambition is to make Bristol-Myers a leading biopharmaceuticals company.
Cornelius said company officials have decided to sell one of its subsidiaries -- Medical Imaging Inc. -- and can't make up their minds what to do with other companies it owns -- Mead Johnson and ConvaTec.
He said Mead Johnson and ConvaTec are both strong businesses.
"The strategic question is: There really isn't that much synergy between these very strong brands and our pharma business," Cornelius said. "And that is probably the single biggest factor we are trying to deal with here." Bristol-Myers officials announced Wednesday that they plan to cut the company's costs by about $1.5 billion by 2010. To do that, they will reduce the number of Bristol-Myers employees worldwide by 10 percent, perhaps close more than half of the company's factories and eliminate 60 percent of the older products it sells.
Paradossi said those moves pertain mostly to Bristol-Myers' drug factories and not to the Mead Johnson plant in Evansville, where about 1,200 employees work.
Paradossi said he did not know of a time line for Bristol-Myers officials to make a decision on what to do with Mead Johnson.
Speaking in New York City, Bristol-Myers officials said Mead Johnson, which makes a product called Enfamil Lipil infant formula, continues to make money. According to figures presented at the investors meeting, Mead Johnson's had sales of $1.9 billion through September. That puts Mead Johnson's sales ahead of Bristol-Myers' other subsidiaries, ConvaTec and Medical Imaging Inc.
Convatec makes products used to treat wounds and skin. Medical Imaging, which is being sold, makes Cardiolite, a radioactive substance used to detect coronary artery disease.
Cornelius said he and other Bristol-Myers officials are not disappointed with the performance of either Mead Johnson or ConvaTec.
"We have analyzed these, and we just can't make up our minds - because we know that they have been steadily profitable - as to what the best alternatives will be," he said.
Cornelius said companies in the nutritional sector are consolidating, an indication that now may be a good time to sell Mead Johnson.
Alan Newman, senior-vice president of Hilliard Lyons, a wealth management firm, said it's too early to speculate about Bristol-Myers' intentions.
Newman said rumors have been rampant in the past that the drug manufacturer planned to sell its Evansville subsidiary.
"And then they have always said, 'We are keeping it,'" he said.
Newman hailed Bristol-Myers' statements Wednesday as good news for investors, although they no doubt left Mead Johnson employees "scratching their head," he said.
The company's board of directors announced that they were increasing the dividends paid to stockholders by 11 percent, the first such increase the company has made since 2002. The board also said it expects the company's earnings per share to grow by 15 percent a year over the next three years.
"This is all predicated on the move to the biopharm area," Newman said.
In the past, Bristol-Myers has shown it is willing to sell its subsidiaries.
It recently unloaded Zimmer Orthopaedics, a maker of artificial joints, and Clairol, a maker of hair products.
Bristol-Myers acquired Mead Johnson in 1967 and merged with Squibb, another drug company, in the 1980s.
Rolland Eckels, a retired Mead Johnson director of public affairs, began working for the company in 1962. He said it was a good place to work before Bristol-Myers bought it and even better afterwards.
"The benefits and the savings plan - and, generally speaking, they were a compassionate employer," he said. "I have nothing ill to say about them."


text: The K-On! After School Live! wiki last edited by OrangeSponge on 02/13/13 03:06PM View full history OverviewBased on the successful anime and manga franchise about a light music club in an all-girl high school, K-On! Houkago Live!! is a rhythm first released in Japan September 30, 2010 for the Playstation Portable. Based on a modified Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA engine, players must push the PSP's buttons to a song rhythms in order to successfully perform them. In addition to the rhythm mode, the game contains dozens of collectible items, multiplayer support, a simple movie editor and a talking alarm clock.On June 21st 2012, a PS3 version, K-On! Houkago Live!! HD Version, was released with HD graphics, 3D support, and an online mode.GameplayPerformPerform mode is the heart of the game, where players try to clear songs by pushing the PSP's d-pad and shape buttons in a rhythmic pattern while a music video of the band performing plays in the background. The buttons to press are displayed on a music staff that runs across the screen, and the player should press them when a moving cursor reaches their icon. The game is comprised of 19 tunes, and includes most original songs released during the animated series' first season. Each song can be played as any of the five members of the club in two difficulty levels, which brings the total of patterns to complete to 190. A special unlockable item provides what is for all purposes a third difficulty level, bringing an additional 95 patterns to the table.The members of the band, and their respective playstyle are:Yui Hirasawa, lead guitar: Yui's patterns follow the lead guitar riff and solos of the songs. They are the most straightforward of the five.Mio Akiyama, bass: Mio's patterns follow the bass track of the songs. Mio plays a left-handed bass guitar, and so her patterns focus on the d-pad instead of the shape buttons like the rest.Ritsu Tainaka, drums: Ritsu's patterns follow the drum beat of the songs. Often the down d-pad button acts as the bass drum, while the triangle button acts as the high-hat. Ritsu's tracks usually involve rhythmic back-and-forward between bass and drums.Tsumugi Kotobuki, keyboards: Tsumugi's patterns follow the keyboard track of the songs. There are many fast solo parts, as well as long holds on the d-pad and shape buttons simultaneously for chords.Azusa Nakano, rhythm guitar: Azusa's patterns follow the secondary guitar parts of the songs. They usually involve long holds on the d-pad while following a riff with the shape buttons.During a performance, "tension" is raised or lowered based on missed notes and combos. Higher tension leads to better scores, while too many missed notes can end in a failed performance. A cleared performance is ranked D through S based on the score, and a special icon is awarded for a perfect combo.After successfully clearing a song, the player gets random food items that can be used in subsequent performances. The player can choose from the available items on the song selection screen, and the effects of the item can be triggered for a short time during performance by pressing the L or R buttons. Effects range from automatically performing a part of the song to increasing score or simplifying the track. In addition to food items, various other collectibles are unlocked after completing songs with specific conditions.Other modesIn addition to Perform, the game contains several other modes and mini-games:Menu: the game's menu is a mini-game in itself. In the background is the girls' club-room (or other unlockable settings), where a chibi version of them move around and interact with each other. Players can give the characters items attainable by clearing songs and get various reactions. Furniture and such can be used to furnish the environments and fully voiced cut-scene events can be unlocked by giving certain items to characters when the right conditions are met.Communication: The game's multiplayer mode. Up to five people can connect using the PSP's wifi and perform the game's songs together.Clock: A talking alarm clock. Players can choose the character they like and have her say the time with the press of a button. A special greeting will occur if a birthday date is entered in the settings.Let's Sing: A simple karaoke movie maker. Players can make and watch vocal-less music videos for the game's songs by picking a setting, camera angles and character movements. Karaoke-like lyrics are displayed when the movie is played. By conceding to a few limitations in editing the movie, it can also be used to replace the video in Perform mode.Change Clothes: Various outfits, hairstyles and accessories are unlocked by clearing songs, and here is where you can use them. The character look the player creates here is used throughout the Perform music videos.Album: The game's gallery. Players can view all the unlockable items they collected, as well as see the conditions for unlocking some of the ones they haven't.Song ListSong NameVocalsCommentWatashi no Koi wa HocchikisuYuiPerformed by the band on the showHumming BirdMugiCharacter image songSunday SiestaYuiCharacter image songHello Little GirlMioCharacter image songFuwafuwa TimeMioPerformed by the band on the showDear My Keys ~Kenban no Mahou~TsumugiCharacter image songJajaUma Way to GoAzusaCharacter image songSweet Bitter Beauty SongMioEnding theme B-sideFudepen ~Ballpen~MioPerformed by the band on the showLet's Go!EveryoneImage songCurry nochi RiceYuiPerformed by the band on the showMezase Happy 100%RitsuCharacter image songWatashi wa Watashi no Michi o IkuAzusaCharacter image songGitah ni KubittakeYuiCharacter image songHappy!?

It's Wednesday, and I'm feeling lighthearted around here—so I had to share my absolutely ridiculous, married-lady crush with you—Charlie Hunnam. I wasn't into Sons of Anarchy at all until the final season, and I had absolutely no idea who he was before SOA. But let's just say, I made myself very familiar during season 7, because hi—just look at him. And then I heard him speak with his native English accent, the deal was sealed.
For all of my fellow fans out there, Charlie is the face of the new men's fragrance, REVEAL Men Calvin Klein. Spotted at the Calvin Klein Menswear Fall/Winter 2015/2016 show in Milan, he's every bit as delicious looking as REVEAL Men sounds like it smells: [Read more…]

Remembrance service; Taste of the Ward; bird watching
Honor our history
On May 5, 1886, several thousand laborers marched to the Bay View Rolling Mills to advocate for the eight-hour work day. When the marchers didn't stop after being ordered to do so, the state militia fired on the crowd, killing seven protesters and injuring many others. This infamous moment in Milwaukee history will be commemorated Sunday at 3 p.m. at the historical marker on S. Superior St. and E. Russell Ave. Historian John Gurda will moderate the remembrance, which features a re-enactment by the Milwaukee Public Theatre and the Milwaukee Mask and Puppet Theatre, folksinger Larry Penn and a wreath-laying ceremony with Anita Zeidler, daughter of Milwaukee's former mayor Frank Zeidler. The commemoration is free and open to the public. »Read Full Article

A look at the decline of Milwaukee's middle class
We've heard the saying: If you're willing to work hard, you'll be able to make a living and build a better life for your children.
It's the theme that the middle class was built on, but a PBS "FRONTLINE" series, "Two American Families" set in Milwaukee, shows that even though a family can work extremely hard and play by the rules, the American Dream can still slip right through their hands. The show airs at 9 p.m. Tuesday on PBS. »Read Full Article(98)

The kid is not his son. And the self-proclaimed baby mama is not what she seemed. Shocking, right?
Apparently content with her 15 minutes—and, more likely, scared straight in the wake of Justin Bieber and his attorneys ready and willing to not only call her bluff but ensure that her and baby would be paying legal fees for generations to come—E! News confirms that Mariah Yeater has quietly withdrawn her paternity suit against the pop star.
What brought about this change of heart?

Well, common sense, for one.
A source at the San Diego courthouse, where the petition was filed, confirmed to E! News that Yeater filed a motion to dismiss her paternity action on Nov. 9. However, as paternity cases are sealed, no documents pertaining to her filing or its dismissal will be released by the court.
Bieber has maintained his innocence in the 20-year-old Yeater's claimes that he fathered her 4-month-old son. His camp vowed to "vigorously pursue all available legal remedies to protest Justin and hold those involved with bringing this suit accountable for their actions."
In other words, cha-ching.

As if that weren't enough, Bieber also said he would take a DNA test to disprove his paternity as soon as he returned to the U.S. from his performance schedule abroad—all of which seemed to strongly indicate that he was 100 percent certain of his lack of culpability, despite Yeater's public insistence to the contrary.
But it wasn't until Yeater's past came to light that her story really began to unravel. Turns out, this wasn't her first time trying to pin paternity on someone who wasn't the father. An her history, coupled with Bieber's serious legal threats, caused her lawyers to abandon ship.
"I do not currently represent Mariah Yeater," her former San Diego-based attorney, Matt Pare, told E! News Wednesday. (There is new speculation this morning that Yeater might try again with a new set of attorneys, but so far that report has not been confirmed.)
We'd say better late than never, but we think never would have been better in this case—especially considering the fact that, by the sounds of it, Bieber's team hasn't ruled out pursuing actions of their own against Yeater (however, despite reports to the contrary, they have never expressly stated that they would sue the accuser).
"As we've said from the beginning, it's sad that someone would fabricate such a malicious, defamatory, and demonstrably false claim," spokesman Matthew Hiltzik said. "We'll continue to consider all of our options to protect Justin."
