Dark & Dramatic Walls
Ceiling-height curtains draw the eye up.
Traditional elements combine in this cosy space for reading or entertaining. Light drapes contrast perfectly against chocolate walls. (Dark, rich paint tones create an antiquated appearance.) Skirted furniture — a classic throwback — ceiling millwork, crystal accents and tufting on the sofa complete the look.

Too Tight
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
I love GORE products and was excited about these super awesome-looking arm warmers. Unfortunately I had to return them because they were way too tight in the upper arm and elbow. I always wear a small in everything, and although I never tried the Medium, I think those would have been too long and too baggy in the lower arm. The quality is fabulous, but the fit was wrong.
Good fit and solid wind stopping

A very nice set of arm warmers. I got these on sale during this summer and have used them for many early morning and fall rides. For reference, if it helps, I'm 5'10 and wear 33" sleeves on my fitted shirts and the large size fits me well.

Unfortunately we don't have a size chart and gore does not have a listed size chart. Generally for the arm warmers you size them in relation with your jacket/jersey size. If you wear a medium jacket/jersey you would want to go with a medium warmer. If you need any more assistance feel free to chat in with one of our gearheads and they should be able to assist you further

Is the entire arm warmer (other than the cuffs and band at the top) made of Windstopper? From the pictures, I can't tell if the upper arm is a different fabric.
The WINDSTOPPER is paneled into the areas that generally recieve the greatest wind chill effect.

Snug as a Bug
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
These are one of the most comfortable and snug arm warmers I've owned. The ergonomic paneling, seams and grip are quite perfect. Getting them on requires some effort but after that it just blends in with your physique and performance.
Robert Thomas
I'm female, 121 lbs and bought the Gore arm warmers in size S. They are too tight at the top and between the tightness and the grippiness, they feel pinchy and uncomfortable. So, I just don't see how a guy, no matter how lean, is going to be happy in a Small. I'd think about going up a size if you are considering buying these.

Aiken County analysis of EMS response: Timeline of July 4 events
2:59 p.m. — Wagener Fire Department and County EMS Medic 4 were dispatched to the scene.
3:02 p.m. — Wagener Fire Department arrives on the scene. EMS Medic 4 is en route at the same time – Med 4 was awaiting clarification in the address because they were unable to locate it in the map book.
3:03 and 3:05 p.m. — First responders request that dispatch launch the helicopter.
3:07 p.m. — EMS Medic 4 arrives on scene.
3:08 p.m. — County EMS authorize the launch of the LifeNet helicopter.
3:09 p.m. — LifeNet acknowledged that they are in the air.
3:16 p.m. — Fire department requests the time of arrival from LifeNet – they said they were about 15 minutes away.
3:25 p.m. — County EMS Medic 4 heads to A.L. Corbett Middle School where LifeNet is set to land. EMS asks where LifeNet is – they state they are 10 minutes away and coming from Richland.
3:26 p.m. — Arrival time of LifeNet requested again – LifeNet responds that they are 10 minutes away. At that time, shift supervisor makes the call to have the ambulance continue to the nearest trauma center. LifeNet landing zone was then changed to Pelion Airport.
3:29 p.m. — County EMS is informed that LifeNet is five minutes from Pelion.
3:35 p.m. — LifeNet reports it has reached its landing zone in Pelion.
3:48 p.m. — County EMS reaches landing zone at 3:48. Loading the patient onto LifeNet was less than 10 minutes.
An analysis of Aiken County EMS' response to a fatal accident involving a toddler details what appeared to be confusion and chaos.
Conflicting estimated arrival times for the LifeNet helicopter that was to transport 2-year-old Ryan Eagerton of Wagener to a hospital led to the County EMS shift manager's decision to change the landing zone, according to the report released to Aiken County Council earlier this week.
Ryan was injured on July 4 when he was accidently struck by a vehicle at his home.
The report concludes that EMS staff followed protocol.
Aiken County Assistant Administrator Andrew Merriman wrote the analysis after he went through the computer-aided dispatch report, listened to the time-stamped radio traffic and reviewed written statements from staff who responded to the scene of the accident.
Merriman wrote that, to the best of his ability, he attempted to answer the questions that many have been asking since a strongly worded email regarding EMS' response from Aiken County Councilwoman Kathy Rawls was released.
County EMS response time
Rawls, who represents the Wagener area, asked in her email why County EMS took so long to respond, even though the station was less than a mile from the scene.
The Wagener Fire Department was the first to respond to the home at 3:02 p.m. after they were dispatched three minutes before, along with County EMS.
Merriman wrote in his analysis that County EMS was given the grid number of a duplicate address in Salley rather than Wagener. They did not leave the station until they had clarification of the address, which they said they couldn't locate in the map book.
County EMS arrived at 3:07 p.m.
"It is for this reason Wagener first responders noticed that Med 4 (the responding ambulance) was still in the station as they passed," Merriman wrote in the report.
While on the scene, a paramedic tried to perform a tracheal intubation on the patient, but he "clamped down on the tube, making it virtually impossible to continue," the report reads.
Merriman wrote that, after the ambulance arrived and was loaded, it was blocked by vehicles and fire department equipment when attempting to leave the scene. A fire department vehicle also struck the ambulance amid the confusion, but it's unclear how much time that added on scene, Merriman said.
EMS was en route with the injured toddler at 3:25 p.m.
LifeNet Helicopter landing zones
Rawls said the LifeNet helicopter was initially set to land at Busbee Corbett Elementary Middle School on A.L. Corbett Circle in Wagener, which was less than a mile from the incident location. The helicopter was then re-routed to Pelion Airport, which is about 14 miles away from the location.
The report reads that LifeNet, which was coming from Richland County, was in the air by 3:09 p.m.
At 3:16 p.m., LifeNet told the Wagener Fire Department that it was 15 minutes away from the landing zone.
At about 3:26, both the fire department and EMS were told LifeNet was 10 minutes out. The EMS shift supervisor decided at that time to continue the ambulance toward the nearest trauma center, and the landing zone for LifeNet was changed to Pelion Airport.
LifeNet landed in Pelion at 3:35 p.m. and the ambulance arrived at 3:48 p.m.
Staff reported that it took less than 10 minutes to load the child onto the helicopter.
Ryan Eagerton was pronounced dead at 4:18 p.m. at Richland Memorial Hospital in Columbia.
Aiken County's concerns
Merriman said in the report that he was concerned with the time spent on the scene of the accident, which was about 18 minutes. He said that's almost double the average time spent on scene.
Merriman added that Pelion Airport is a little more than 13 miles from the scene of the incident, and it should take a vehicle traveling in normal driving conditions 20 minutes to make the drive.
"Running code usually shaves 2 to 3 minutes off the drive," Merriman wrote in the report. "It took us roughly 22 minutes from departure to arrival at the airport."
Merriman said they currently are awaiting a report from the ambulance driver for an explanation.
Merriman stated at the end of his report that he feels the decision made by the shift manager was "prudent" according to protocol provided by the Department of Health and Environmental Control and adopted by the County EMS division.
"It states (and I am simplifying) that the ambulance en route to a trauma center is not to wait on a helicopter, the helicopter should be waiting on the ambulance," Merriman wrote.
County Administrator Clay Killian said in a memorandum to Council that they are continuing to review the County's EMS policies, procedures and management as well as consider any changes that need to be made.

Apple.... Taking over the world, one day at a time.
iPhone Now Owns the Title of "Most Popular Camera on Flickr"
It was just over a year ago that the iPhone became the undisputed champion of cell phone cameras on Flickr. Without a doubt, the modern day cell phone camera has become a serious photographic tool and thanks to the release of iPhone 3GS, the iPhone has stepped into 1st place in upload popularity of all cameras just ahead of Cannon's Digital Rebel XTi.
Now we all are aware that the three megapixel camera on the iPhone 3GS is not the best out there but it does it's job fairly well. The main reason for it's popularity on Flickr is convenience. Not only do you carry your iPhone everywhere you go, unlike a regular camera, you also have the ability to upload directly from the device. Convenience reigns supreme.
It was only a matter of time before iPhone was crowned the undisputed overall champion of the Flickr world.

iPhone Now Owns the Title of "Most Popular Camera on Flickr"
Its all about the speed and convenience.
Nobody does this stuff on non 3G phones. Its possible, but so slow no one wants to deal with it.
With 6 or 7 apps on the app store dealing with Flikr, its no wonder its popular on the iPhone.
Or does it have more to do with the lack of MMS so you HAVE TO do it this way just to send a picture your friends can view without going to their email? Is this just another example of an Apple FAIL being played up as another success story?

Hmm, not too sure about some of the conclusions you jump to here. I'd be interested to see the stats on how many are uploading to flickr through 3g and apps. I put loads of iphone photos on my flickr account but I upload nearly all of them through my pc in the normal way, using an app to upload is tiresome and involves using the iphone's increasingly irritating keyboard.
I reckon there's 3 main reasons for its success:
1 - tiny file sizes mean that images are painless to upload from your desktop. Slow upload times make it a pain to upload the images from my dslr
2 - The convenience you mention in the article, the iphone is with me everywhere I go.
3 - Camera apps mean that I don't have to open Photoshop to produce creative images

Monday, October 28, 2013
On Monday, Oct. 21, Clemson Extension initiated a gardening program at the Miriam Brown Community Center. The purpose of this program is to teach youth to work together while learning about carbon to nitrogen ratios, soil health, plant health, water conservations and wise use of resources. After the initial planting, youth will continue to work together to maintain these gardens at the community center.
Led by a group of master gardeners, the lasagna method was used to plant the three gardens at the Miriam Brown Community Center. These gardens were planted within frames provided by Clemson Extension.
The lasagna method consists of layering a number of ingredients, a design used for better growth of plants. The first layer consists of cardboard, which serves as a weed barrier. Youth lined the empty frames with cardboard, so that none of the ground showed through. Next came a layer of leaves and straw. This breaks down and adds nutrients to the soil. It also holds water for the plants. Compost came next, then more leaves and grass clippings. Gardening soil was put on top, and then the plants were planted. Water was added between each layer. The end result was a beautiful flower garden.
The youth from the center were involved in every aspect of the project. This was a learning experience for them, as well as a way to continue working together throughout the year.
Youth at Miriam Brown Center help plant their new garden.

Now using Bandcamp
Grey LineSnaper
These four tracks by Snaper demonstrate a finesse and attention to detail that make what are on the surface rather repetitive tracks full of movement.
Pod emphasizes a rhythmic bassline loud in the mix and a light break with shuffles or slightly quieter snares filling the down beats. Morph uses just a couple kicks and snares and hi-hats slowly ticking in the background. There is plenty of space between notes allowing small movements, delays, and sub to fit. Grey Line has a tinnier sounding break almost like the sound pressure is a bit forced. Subtle use of synths get a good reverb treatment. Again the space between drum hits is filled with one off details and carefully selected delays and reverb. Dissonant has a low sounding kick drum matched with a slew-distorted, noise snare. Harmonic dub pads end the EP on a pleasant tone.
SamplingNic TVG
Sampling is a group of tracks from the last couple of years which represent simplifying and remaining mobile. Restrictions were set on selecting and processing samples from records and field recordings. And by being mobile, these pieces reflect where they were and when they were written:
09_13_2012 - a sunny, summer afternoon in Southern California.
Ease of Streets - a hotel room in New York looking out at an empty city block late at night.
Tomato Seeds – on and off through my move from Louisiana to California.
The Dog Who Walked on Windowsills - my brother's kitchen table in the morning.
Continuous - a laundromat which was previously a historic recording studio.
The North Sea IntimateMaff Stenning
Crackle and distortion like an old record sets the context for Maff Stenning's The North Sea Intimate. Allowing a couple minutes to introduce the dominant harmonies, it will take six minutes to reach the apex and four minutes to build back down. Maff's style is nostalgic of something precursory of electronic music.
Using a mixture of analog synthesizers and sampling with mainly melodic layers to keep rhythm, the two works feel like an archive of folk music presented as ambient. The second piece follows with similar sound design but is more muted and buried in reverb. Percussive rumbles swell and pop like unraveled low-end frequencies. This is the second release on Pinecone Moonshine in seven years to depart from Drum and Bass, 170bpm music.
Cross ProductDot Product :: Snaper :: K-Chaos :: Metro :: Nic TVG
December 12th
Metro returns to Pinecone Moonshine with a remix of Dot Product's droning 56i 18j 144k. The empty, ambient layers are successfully combined with sparse percussion adding a strong rhythmic dimension. Snaper also returns this time with a Dub Techno inspired piece. Sparse percussion puts Muted deceptively in the 170 tempo range. Delayed and reverbed tones, noise, and the rhythm all change gradually over seven minutes.
Dot Product's Brief is also Techno inspired sticking to a mostly a 4/4 pattern and elongated reverberations. Nic TVG provides additional percussion including a few glimpses of a drum roll. K-Chaos wraps up the release with Crackles of Fire. The intro makes use of the earlier concepts of 4/4 rhythm and quiet, atonal ambients before opening up into Drumfunk.
Cut by 20Fada
Fada's Cut by 20 EP is built on sharp funk breaks dominated by the kicks and snares. Subtle growling bass sounds and layers of instruments manipulated into drones sparsely arranged as if improvised make a mostly inharmonic backdrop.
The title track offers only a few moments of harmony focusing on the drum break which is held steady with hi-hats and natural sounding syncopation. Transient Thought ups the intensity with a more mechanical drumming often breaking the flow and using drum change ups and the occasional few notes from a synth.
Brushes strays the most from the other tracks. Drones and dissonance remain, but horns, sustained vocals, tablas, and Indian flute are in the forefront. Layering in the Tighten Up break along with the other percussion makes for the densest moments of sound on the EP.
Vapours has been edited to be even murkier with pitched down effects and a heavy amount of distortion. The drums have been replaced with something more guttural flowing less like Drum and Bass and more like a funky drum solo.
Drum Funk IINic TVG
Very Close to Nothing combines two classic Drum and Bass breaks attempting coax the imperfections of the vinyl recording to the forefront. Lackadaisical piano playing and a slow harmony progression blend in with the noise of the drums.
From 2008, Transparent Lines is still one of my favorite pieces. Although there is only hints of percussion, it was a turning point in timbre and arrangement. This is the original mixdown and master that was not released.
Inspired by LXC's LFAnt, Bela begins with warm kicks and beeps put on filtered delays. The intro could have been built into a separate track as it leads into a heavily chopped funk break.
Greenleaf - Forward Motion / Zigaboo
Asymmetric - LSD
Greenleaf presents two New Orleans influenced drum funk style pieces. Sweeps and isolated tones, huge sustained reverbs, low stabs of sub leave the emphasis on the drum kits. Syncopated small plucks of guitar accentuate the rhythm in Forward Motion; the drums ringing and rushing. Zigaboo's main drum pattern stutters almost pushing and pulling with the tempo. Other drum breaks make an appearance but only for one or two bars at a time. Both feature a brief brief excerpt from an interview part way through making these fit like a part one and part two of the same idea.
Asymmetric's LSD bring the focus to Drumfunk by meticulously editing the Think break into new rhythms.
Macc - Compulsion / Stabbed in the Back
Liquid Break and Hidden Element - Outsider Blues (Icarus Remix) / Snaper - Déjŕ Vu
Macc's Compulsion begins suspended with tension as the tone and pace is set up. Two plucks and a string swell repeat setting the intention that this will be an intensely rhythm driven piece. The drummer keeps a fast groove with a ride cymbal pattern that only pauses a few times to reset for a distinct drum roll. The second half horns and strings add a bit of somberness before growing cacophonous and leading out.
Stabbed in the Back starts with detuned piano and curious testing of wood clacks before the main rhythm begins. What follows feels like a drummer absorbed with keeping time undistracted by the cacotopia around him.
Non Applicable's Icarus use bursts of the guitars, vocals, and bass of Outsider Blues and re-purpose them as inharmonic sounds and additional percussion only hinting at what the sounds once were. Vibrato, delays, distortion manipulate each sound building a dense layered arrangement. As the piece progresses, it unravels with excerpts of live drumming.
Shuffles and a steady single block hit create the sense of tempo leading into Déjŕ Vu by Snaper which goes extremely sparse but introduces fragments of break beats.

Sacred day in the bayouWritten by Michael Miller | Editor in Chief Emeritus | firstname.lastname@example.com
St. Elizabeth of Hungary Church in Paincourtville, Louisiana, is an unassuming brick building with a modern metal roof and a smattering of trees providing scant shade in its parking lot.
Inside, it is an overwhelming architectural achievement — 50 stained glass images of saints and the Passion, statues of key figures of faith and meticulous columns and arches embraced by stunning hand-painted flourishes from floor to ceiling. It's impossible to describe the artistry of the church interior as a separate entity from spirituality, as every dab of paint and inch of wood is infused with the glory and promise of faith. The church's founding priests are entombed near the altar, silent witnesses to the testaments of generations.
Founded in 1840, St. Elizabeth is one of the oldest parishes in its region and has been in the same building since 1902. Described as "The Gem of the Bayou" on its website, "the beautiful gothic building was designed by the LeSaicherre brothers, who were priests at the parish in the 1880s. From the magnificent Italian marble high-altar to the hand painted images painted on the cypress ceilings, St. Elizabeth Church is a glorious sight to behold."
The interior was painted by two Mexican refugee brothers on sections of burlap feed sacks, which were then sewn together and hung on the walls.
It is a magnificent place of worship, but the baptism that brought us there July 20 could have taken place in a broom closet with one dim light bulb and the spiritual impact of the sacred event would not have been diminished one iota.
We traveled to Paincourtville for the baptism of Cullen, first-born son of our friends Will and Rachel. I have known Will for more than 20 years, since our University of Toledo days. We have seen each other in times triumphant and disastrous, hilarious and mournful.
Will and I are not always fans of happy endings, but it has been gratifying to see Will and Rachel build a life together, especially in the context of my jaundiced disdain of some of the less pleasant people he has spent time with. To see Will build a family has been amusing, as his contempt for romantic conventions in general and children in particular has softened into an understanding that one does not have to compromise intellect to engage emotionally.
My family shared with the arrival of Cullen just a bit more than a year ago, trading visits to strengthen our relationships and making sure our sons will know Cullen.
When Will asked if I would serve as Cullen's godfather, I hesitated long enough to do some inner searching and evaluating of my own faith and qualifications to mentor and guide. I came up short but accepted anyway.
I am Lutheran, not Catholic, so even though I took a class on being a godparent to a Catholic child, I am officially Cullen's "Non-Catholic Christian Witness," a title Cullen will one day appreciate as a perfect title for my sense of humor and askance approach to organized religion and the complications of bureaucratic thinking.
We gathered with a large number of Rachel's family after Mass to celebrate the baptism under the auspice of the Rev. Andrew Merrick, a pastor who seemed as young and irreverent as his church is old and authoritarian.
Father Merrick struck the right note of comfort and adherence to tradition, walking us through the understanding of our responsibility and a renouncement of Satan (I have renounced that particular entity before but not with as much conviction as I did that morning).
Cullen, a blue-eyed, curious child with his father's still-waters-run-deep demeanor, marveled at every moment of the sacrament and did not cry once. Surrounded by a loving family and a loving God, the little boy glowed in the light of the spirit and the purity of Christ's embrace.
I remembered the baptism of our sons Evan and Sean and how precious it was to be surrounded by our earthly family and our heavenly one.
In his life, Cullen will know good and bad, great love and great evil. He will experience the complexities of life, the whims of love and the mysteries of faith.
All that was miles and years away as Father Merrick anointed Cullen and let the holy water welcome him into the faith. For those few minutes it was only about family, faith and love.
As godfather, it is my responsibility to help Will and Rachel as they guide Cullen. If we can retain the spirit and momentum of that brief confluence in St. Elizabeth, that responsibility will be a joy, not a chore, a celebration, never a burden.

There seems to be a consensus that the Derby gods will be smiling this time around on Dogwood Stable's W. Cothran Campbell.
The 85-year-old, Aiken-based horseman and pioneer in Thoroughbred racehorse partnerships, will have his eighth Kentucky Derby starter, Palace Malice, going postward in today's 139th running of the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs, and recognizes the significance of the event.
"It means a whole lot," said Campbell, in a phone interview Friday morning. "Everyone's been saying the Derby gods will be smiling on us this time around. It's very gratifying; we seem to be popular."
The last owner to have a horse trained in Aiken, who went onto win the Kentucky Derby, was Paul Mellon in 1993. And like Campbell, he was 85 years old, when Sea Hero won the first jewel of Thoroughbred racing's Triple Crown. Frances Genter's Unbridled won the 1990 Kentucky Derby when she was 92, and Dogwood Stable's very first Derby starter, Summer Squall, would go onto finish second in the race.
However, a Kentucky Derby victory remains elusive for Dogwood Stable as they have yet to find the winner's circle in the world's most famous race. The stable's other starters since Summer Squall have had mixed success, Wallenda, 13th, 1993; Smilin Singin Sam, 10th, 1994; Jack Flash, 7th, 1997; Impeachment, 3rd, 2000; Trippi, 11th, 2000 and Limehouse, 4th in 2004.
The bay colt drew post position No. 10 in the 19-horse field, an enviable spot for Derby connections, one that has proved lucky in past races.
"We're tickled to death with the post position," said Campbell. "He'll be the last horse to load, he and the 20 horse. He's been training well, and is a little anxious, like a fighter ready to go into the ring."
The 139th edition of the 1¼-mile, $2,199,800, Grade 1 Kentucky Derby, the first jewel of Thoroughbred racing's Triple Crown, has an approximate post time at 6:24 p.m., and the broadcast will air on NBC from 4 to 7 p.m.

Debate over prison assaults
Madison - The head of the state prison system told legislators Wednesday there have been no major staff assaults on his watch, despite a string of incidents that include an inmate stabbing an officer in the face with a pair of scissors.
"Myself and my deputy secretary, if we have a serious assault, we're coming. We're going to the hospital and we're going to be there with our staff. Fortunately, we haven't had one since I've been here since October, but we need people to understand that we care for them, that we're going to make sure they're taken care of and we're going to do everything for their health and well-being," Corrections Secretary Ed Wall told the Assembly Corrections Committee.
Marty Beil, executive director of the Wisconsin State Employees Union, disputed Wall's testimony, telling the committee there have been seven serious assaults against prison workers since Christmas Eve. They include the incident with scissors at the Waupun Correctional Institution, as well as one in which an inmate tried to hold an officer hostage at the Wisconsin Secure Program Facility in Boscobel, he said. »Read Full Article(58)
Judge keeps Sheboygan teen's murder case in adult court
Sheboygan - A judge ruled Wednesday that the trial of a Sheboygan teenager accused in the killing of a 78-year-old woman will remain in adult court.
Judge Timothy Van Akkeren ruled after a hearing on whether to move the 14-year-old boy's case to juvenile court. The judge found the boy would have access to the same mental health programs, whether he is in the adult or juvenile correctional system.
The boy has not entered a plea yet. He and a 14-year-old friend are accused of bludgeoning the friend's great-grandmother, Barbara Olson, to death at her Sheboygan Falls home Sept. 17. The boys were 13 at the time.
The friend has allowed his case to remain in adult court and has pleaded not guilty by mental disease or defect.

Rockwell's quarterly earnings fall short of Wall Street estimate
Weakness in China, India and Western Europe dragged earnings lower at Rockwell Automation Inc., which supplies systems that help factories and business run more smoothly.
Commenting on the deceleration in Asia, particularly China, Rockwell Chief Executive Keith Nosbusch said Wednesday the regions that were weakest in the most recent quarter were the ones that had been reliably strongest in recent years. China alone saw sales drop 13% in the three months ended Dec. 31, he said.

The Milwaukee-based company derives most of its sales and earnings from outside the U.S., with two-thirds from Europe alone. And Europe's downturn put pressure on a company that helps connect employers and employees.

Barrett lauds nominee's service ethic
Speaking less than a week before his nomination of Ann Wilson to the Fire and Police Commission goes before the Common Council for a confirmation vote, Mayor Tom Barrett on Wednesday praised her as a person who is fair and has strong community ties.

West Bend couple can't collect in birth control mix-up
Madison - A clinic that mistakenly gave vitamins instead of birth-control pills to a West Bend woman doesn't have to pay to raise the child she conceived but can be sued for other financial damages, a state appeals court ruled Wednesday.
Shelby Nell and the boy's father, Austin Omernick, appealed to the 2nd District Court of Appeals after a lower court concluded public policy considerations such as preventing fraud and making sure awards are fair to defendants protected the clinic from liability in their case.
Citing a 1990 Wisconsin case, the appeals court said a parent must have undergone an unsuccessful sterilization before he or she can make claims for costs relating to raising a child from an unwanted pregnancy. Claims of temporary contraception failing or getting wrong pills can be rife with fraud as parents try to collect huge awards, the court said. »Read Full Article(22)
Brandon Jennings bypassed again for NBA All-Star game
Brandon Jennings' hopes of being named to the NBA All-Star team were dashed again Wednesday when Commissioner David Stern selected Brooklyn Nets center Brook Lopez to replace the injured Rajon Rondo on the Eastern Conference squad.
The Bucks' point guard also lost out last week when conference coaches selected Cleveland's Kyrie Irving and Philadelphia's Jrue Holiday as the reserve guards. Rondo, the Celtics point guard, had been selected by fans to start but suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament and was lost for the rest of the season.
Lopez is averaging 18.6 points and 7.3 rebounds for the Nets.
The NBA All-Star Game is Feb. 17 in Houston.
The news came after Jennings' 30-point outburst against Detroit on Tuesday. The Bucks guard scored 16 consecutive points in the third quarter to help the Bucks rout the Pistons, 117-90.
"I thought Brandon deserved to be selected," Bucks coach Jim Boylan said. "The way he's been playing recently, I thought they would give him strong consideration. I hope they did. I don't know the process. Obviously the commissioner makes the decision.
"Brooklyn has a good team. They're playing well and they deserve to have an all-star also. It's hard to argue. My criteria has been to reward teams that have had a good season so far and doing well with wins and losses, so it's hard to complain about Brooklyn getting a guy in." (43)

Sheriff David Clarke calls county exec an 'expert on immaturity'
Milwaukee County Executive Chris Abele took aim at Sheriff David A. Clarke Jr. this week, suggesting the sheriff was craving attention with his radio spot urging residents to arm themselves.
"I'll tell you what he wasn't looking for: He wasn't looking for a productive solution," Abele told WITI-TV (Channel 6). "If that's genuinely the issue of 911 service, there are far more productive, responsible and frankly mature ways to address it than the public service announcement we heard."
It didn't long for Clarke, who seems to be enjoying his moment in the spotlight, to respond on his Facebook page. His office confirmed that he wrote the Wednesday post, even though it refers to Clarke in the third person. »Read Full Blog Post(65)

Supreme Court rejects store video enhancement in robber's appeal
A man convicted of two 1994 robberies in Milwaukee, and who won a new trial from the Court of Appeals in 2011, won't get that second chance after all.
The Wisconsin Supreme Court on Wednesday ruled that new evidence suggesting the perpetrator was much shorter than Avery was not likely to result in a different verdict.
In 2007, Brian Avery said new "digital photogrammetry" unavailable in 1995 enhanced the store surveillance video and revealed a suspect shorter than him. But after an evidentiary hearing that featured conflicting expert opinion about the enhanced video, Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Dennis Cimpl denied the request for a new trial. »Read Full Blog Post(12)
Jim Sensenbrenner seeks probe of faulty ATF operation
Members of Congress and a local alderman are calling for answers from the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives about a storefront sting operation in Milwaukee where an agent's machine gun was lost and the operation was ripped off, along with other problems.
U.S. Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner (R-Wis.) issued a statement saying he would be investigating the matter.
"News of the botched ATF Milwaukee operation is extremely concerning. The Obama Administration wants to pass new gun laws and give new responsibilities to the ATF, but the agency has been inept at enforcing the laws that we already have," Sensenbrenner said. "I will be investigating the ATF's actions and mistakes because this type of mismanagement is not acceptable. Wisconsinites deserve answers, and I am not going to wait until we have another Fast and Furious-like situation to find them." »Read Full Article(73)
Ex-lieutenant accuses Clarke of reverse bias
A former Milwaukee County sheriff's lieutenant contends in a federal lawsuit that Sheriff David A. Clarke Jr. passed him over repeatedly for promotions because he is a white male.
John R. Nelson also says his assignment to a third-shift job in the jail records division in February 2012 was retaliation for him filing a discrimination complaint with a federal agency a few days earlier. He had been a divisional commander working first shift and had worked for the department since 1994.
After filing his discrimination complaint, the department also opened two disciplinary investigations on Nelson, but he was "fully exonerated in April 2012," the complaint says. »Read Full Article(45)
Wisconsin Appeals Court upholds conviction in Teresa Halbach slaying
Madison - A state appeals court has rejected Brendan Dassey's request for a new trial on charges that he helped kill a young woman in 2005 in one of Wisconsin's most notorious crimes.
Dassey was sentenced to life with no parole for 41 years after being convicted in 2007 of first-degree intentional homicide, second-degree sexual assault and mutilation of a corpse in the killing of Teresa Halbach in Manitowoc County.
The killing gained extraordinary attention partly because another person convicted, Dassey's uncle Steven Avery, had spent 18 years in prison for rape before DNA samples proved another man committed that crime. »Read Full Article(2)

U.S. economy shrinks for first time in 3 years
Washington - The U.S. economy unexpectedly shrank from October through December, the first quarterly drop since 2009 and a reminder of the economy's vulnerability as automatic cuts in government spending loom.
The Commerce Department said the economy shrank at an annual rate of 0.1% mainly because companies restocked at a slower rate and the government slashed military spending. Those trends partly reflected uncertainty late last year about the fiscal cliff, which Congress averted in a deal reached Jan. 1.
Economists say those factors could prove temporary, and the likelihood of another recession appears remote. Still, the sharp slowdown from the 3.1% annual growth rate in the July-September quarter, also driven by a drop in U.S. exports, raised concerns about 2013. »Read Full Article(178)

School choice event brings together Walker, Barrett, Thornton, voucher advocates
As part of a national tour to celebrate school choice options, leaders and advocates from Milwaukee's different school sectors as well as state and local elected officials presented a seemingly united front Wednesday at the Grain Exchange, 225 E. Michigan St.
Underscoring the positive vibe was the emphasis on kids and quality educational options in general. When it comes to specific issues such as how much funding schools in each sector should get and what regulations they should have to abide by, there's often less agreement between advocates for the different groups of schools.
Forthcoming education legislation and Gov. Scott Walker's budget proposal to be unveiled next month likely will start spurring more discussion on those fronts. »Read Full Blog Post(50)

Milwaukee County traffic safety campaign to target minority communities
In an effort to reduce traffic fatalities, the state Department of Transportation is launching a community-based traffic safety campaign in Milwaukee County.
The new program will use culturally appropriate educational materials urging drivers in the African-American and Hispanic communities to use seat belts, drive sober, eliminate distractions while driving and make sure children are in booster seats.
Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for American-American boys through the age of 14 and the second leading cause of death for ages 15 through 24. Vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for Hispanics ages 21 to 34.

Wisconsin an almost perfect microcosm of U.S. in partisan makeup
Wisconsin, one of the nation's most volatile political battlegrounds in recent years, ranks almost dead-center nationally in the partisan makeup of its voters, according to new numbers released Wednesday by Gallup.
Over the course of Gallup's year-long 2012 tracking polls, 45.5% of Wisconsin adults identified as Democrats or leaned Democratic, while 41.4% identified as Republicans or leaned Republican.
That almost perfectly mirrors the national breakdown in Gallup's year-long polling: 44.9% Democratic and 40.7% Republican. And it may help explain how both parties have enjoyed uplifting victories and suffered debilitating defeats in Wisconsin in the span of just the past two years. »Read Full Blog Post(66)

Milwaukee lawyer disbarred over repeated ethical violations
A Milwaukee area lawyer with a long history of run-ins with professional regulators has lost his license to practice.
The Wisconsin Supreme Court on Wednesday revoked the license of Donald Hahnfeld for professional misconduct with two clients, in divorce-related proceedings and a drunken driving defense, and for practicing law while his license was administratively suspended for failing to meet continuing legal education requirements.
"The referee stated that Attorney Hahnfeld's inability to represent himself properly in the disciplinary proceeding confirmed the referee's belief that Attorney Hahnfeld lacks an understanding of and proper attitude toward meeting the professional standards imposed on an attorney in this state," the court wrote.
Hahnfeld (Marquette, '87) was also ordered to pay $47,200 restitution to the client in the divorce related matter and the a fund that compensates victims of legal malpractice, and nearly $27,000 in costs of his discipline action. (11)

"Demand for the new iPhones has been incredible, and we are currently sold out or have limited supply of certain iPhone 5s models in some stores," an Apple representative told AllThingsD.
Shipping times for the iPhone 5s on the Apple Online Store quickly slipped from 1-3 business days to 7-10, with the gold version of all models simply listed as shipping in October.One thing we don't know for sure is just how much of Apple's supply the iPhone 5s made up compared to the iPhone 5c. We had already heard about constraints on 5s supply at carrier stores, but how representative of the overall 5s supply is unclear. It's also been reported that Apple has asked suppliers to ramp up production of the gold 5s model, following higher than expected demand.

Apple sees high demand for iPhone 5s, several models sold out
Gold wasn't available at my Verizon store. I almost bought black but decided on white and silver. Hrm, been a bit since I typed on an iPhone, I think I miss the period being on the first keyboard.
I'm in line @ Apple Store in Milwaukee & they have NO gold or silver. Only grey in 16 & 32.
Stopped at the AT&T store this morning & they had ONLY gotten shipments of the silver. Nothing else.
on the phone with Pentagon City...
"....there are more than eight calls ahead of you..."
"....there are more than eight calls ahead of you..."
"....there are more than eight calls ahead of you..."
dude I just want to know if I can use the trade in program towards a new 64G gold iPhone 5S AND also my early upgrade from AT&T.....
....seriously....I'll come in next week....
"....you have eight calls ahead of you...."
The Verizon store that I went to today had only gotten 8 silver and 0 gold. I thought I was getting the last silver one but somebody must have changed their mind before it was my turn.

On Sunday, March 3, Sugarbush Resort hosted the FAT Ski-A-Thon from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Seventy High Fives Foundation supporters gathered donations on a per lap and flat rate basis to raise over $40,000 for the foundation.
The High Fives Foundation partners with like-minded companies and foundations to further increase fundraising while increasing awareness for athletes that suffer a life-altering injury in the winter sports community.
"Thanks to amazing support from Wells Fargo, GoPro, Vermont North Ski Shops, SnoCru, Sugarbush Resort, bigtruck Brand, Ski The East, Justin's, Cabot Cheese, Pop Chips, Vermont Peanut Butter Co., Smith Optics, Dynastar Skis and Rome SDS Snowboards, the FAT Ski-A-Thon weekend was a great success," said foundation founder and spokesperson Roy Tuscany.
"The High Fives Foundation takes pride in putting the fun in fundraising. This marquee event was no exception to that emphasis on fun. With an exuberant field of 70 participants sporting FAT skis and ear-to-ear smiles, the Summit Quad lift at Sugarbush Resort, Mount Ellen, served as the catalyst to get skiers to the top of the mountain," he explained.
Brooks Curran barely edged out last year's FAT Ski-A-Thon champion (Johnny Egan) for most runs by a male with an impressive 34 runs. Maddie Lowe took the crown of most runs by a female this year with an impressive 32 runs for the second year in a row. The Murphy sisters, Rubi and Mae, earned top honors as the most successful fundraisers with over $3,000 raised between the two inspirational young daughters of Heidi Witschi and Jesse Murphy. Liz Harris raised $2,000 and Ethan Wood raised $2,500 to round out the top adult fundraisers.
The FAT Ski-A-Thon event weekend kicked off in style on Saturday night at Sugarbush Resort's Castlerock Pub with an informative presentation by the nonprofit High Fives Foundation at 6:30 p.m. followed by après food specials and live music from The Grift.
On Sunday, FAT Ski-A-Thon participants tracked their lap count on the SnoCru mobile app along with the standard punch card every time they skied through the start corral and refueled with food donated and prepared by the Localfolk Smokehouse in Waitsfield.
(The SnoCru mobile app is available at www.snocru.com, in the Apple App Store and at the Google Play store.)
The FAT Ski-A-Thon weekend concluded at the Wrap Up Party presented by Vermont North Ski Shops on Sunday, March 3, from 6 to 10 p.m. at the Localfolk Smokehouse. A new pair of Dynastar Cham skis and a new Rome SDS snowboard were raffled off at the Wrap Up Party while The Professor DJ provided the soundtrack.
High Fives Foundation is a Tahoe-based 501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to raising money and awareness for athletes who have suffered a life-altering injury while pursuing their dream in the winter action sports community. Formed as a way to "pay it forward" by the founder from his own recovery to help injured athletes, the foundation has helped 40 athletes to date since its inception in 2009.

At Stonewall we're passionate about working with lesbian, bisexual and trans women. Our female supporters told us they'd like us to hold women-only events so we've launched a special programme, kindly supported by The London Women's Clinic.
We'll organise events throughout the year – see below for details – and will send you updates on our work every now and then.
Stonewall Comedy Gala Presents... Girls' Night Out
Following on from the sell-out success of 2012 and 2013, this January Jen Brister and a glorious gaggle of the finest and funniest female talent, teamed up for another fantastic night of comedy to support Stonewall.
Double Glazed Glass Ceiling
A discussion on the importance of visible role models in the workplace, why so many women face difficulties moving to the top of the career ladder and the challenges - and advantages - of being a lesbian in a senior position.
Become a Stonewall Friend, Close Friend or Ambassador
The very best way you can support Stonewall is to set up a regular donation.
Buy some lovely Stonewall merchandise!
Visit our online shop to see the full range of Stonewall goodies, including our popular 'Some Girls Marry Girls. Get Over It!' t-shirts.
Our work with women stretches across all areas of home, education and employment
Health - In 2007, Stonewall conducted the largest survey of lesbian and bisexual women's health needs outside America. The results are quite concerning, you can read the report here: Prescription for Change: Lesbian and bisexual women's health.
Find out more about what we're doing now to support the health needs of lesbian and bisexual women here.
International - Stonewall is proud to work internationally and we fully recognise that lesbian, bisexual and trans women worldwide face abuse and violence. For International Women's Day 2013 we wrote about some of the challenges - and our hope that things can change. Read our article in the Huffington Post here.
Date for your diary: International Women's Day 2015 is Sunday 8 March. Why not hold a party or awareness-raising event in aid of Stonewall? We'd be happy to assist you!
Parenting - Stonewall has worked hard to ensure that lesbian, gay and bisexual people have the same legal rights to parenthood as everyone else because we know that LGBT people are just as capable of creating loving and supportive families. If you'd like more information on how to get pregnant, download our free guide Pregnant Pause here.
Our popular guide So...you think your child is gay? answers common questions parents may have when they think their child is gay or has just come out. The guide aims to dispel common myths about what being gay means for young people, as well as helping parents create a supportive environment for their children.
For more information on parenting go to www.stonewall.org.uk/parenting
Our Different Families, Same Love posters, cards and stickers are designed to help primary schools celebrate all different types of families in the classroom. Our research shows that bullying in primary schools particularly affects children with same-sex parents so resources like these are vital to can help all children recognise difference and support other pupils with different family lives from their own.
We work closely with young people throughout the year on our Youth Volunteering and Talent Programmes. Last year our youth programmes attracted more young women than ever before - a great sign! For more information or to get involved as a mentor visit: www.youngstonewall.org.uk or contact firstname.lastname@example.com.
Our 'One Is' campaign highlights the ongoing struggle of gay, lesbian, and bisexual people to be themselves in the workplace. Have you seen it? Tell us what you think - use #LotsToDo and join the conversation on Twitter!
Stonewall's popular guide on leadership, Role Models: Sexual Orientation and the Workplace, is a great illustration of authentic leadership and features the stories of eight successful and inspiring women.
The Double Glazed Glass Ceiling: Lesbians in the Workplace - employers often express concern about the small number of openly-gay women in their workplaces and the even smaller numbers engaged in their work around sexual orientation. Stonewall's report suggests that often gay women think their gender is more of a barrier to success at work than their sexual orientation.

Former caregiver accused of fraudApril 26,2013Former caregiver accused of fraud
BRATTLEBORO A former caregiver for an elderly Vermont couple has been accused of defrauding them by using their credit card and withdrawing from their investment account.
Jamie Gene Thompson pleaded innocent in federal court in Brattleboro on Thursday. He was indicted by a grand jury in February.
Thompson became a live-in care provider for a couple in Charlotte in 2010. He provided medical and physical assistance and transportation. He also handled some of the couples finances.
The indictment says that between September and October 2012, Thompson allegedly defrauded the couple by using their credit card to make about $9,000 in unauthorized purchases. He also allegedly made about $46,000 in unauthorized withdrawals from the investment account.
Thompson was arrested by FBI agents in California in March.MORE IN This Just In

- Lexicalized Tree Adjoining Grammar (3) (remove)
- Reflexives and reciprocals in LTAG (2007)
- This paper presents an LTAG analysis of reflexives like himself and reciprocals like each other. These items need to find a c-commanding antecedent from which they retrieve (part of) their own denotation and with which they syntactically agree. The relation between anaphoric item and antecendent must satisfy the following important locality conditions (Chomsky (1981)).
- Semantic construction in feature-based TAG (2003)
- We propose a semantic construction method for Feature-Based Tree Adjoining Grammar which is based on the derived tree, compare it with related proposals and briefly discuss some implementation possibilities.

The Language and Culture House, largely administered by its residents with the help of the Modern Languages Department, organizes activities involving all modern languages that are taught at Denison.
Thanks to the Patty Foresman Fund, our department can offer students each semester opportunities for cultural enrichment in foreign languages, usually available only through study-abroad programs.
A residential opportunity for students to live in a special environment where they can hone their language skills and participate in special cultural events.

Hes a year older then me, yet my boyfriends brother whos 12 has got a deeper voice :P
I was browsing the SKMB and drinking some juice, and when I read that I choked and almost spilt everything on the keyboard!!
GEEZZZ , please don't EVEN SAY something like that!!
Not that I have something against him, but as someone said, can you guys imagine what would happen in the theaters?? All the screaming little creatures whenever he appeared?? OMG, please don't ruin one of the few things we can have for ourselves in peace... LOL
1. I doubt Bieber's machine would ever allow him to take on that kind of project. WAAAAAYYYY too much time commitment when he could be making quick easy money on the concert tours, etc. Think about the shooting schedule of Lord of the Rings -- 438 days of principal shooting, plus 18 weeks of secondary shooting over three years -- then roughly double it. No way that's gonna work for a teen idol with a limited shelf life. Jackson had an agreement with his LotR cast that they would live in NZ for a year.
2. I would hope that Howard / Grazer wouldn't do that kind of stunt casting. Again, to reference LotR, there was very little box-office-draw in that cast. Probably the biggest "star" cast in the trilogy was either Ian McKellen or Cate Blanchett. The other principals were, no doubt, working actors, but they weren't box office gold.
Justin Bieber.Far from being able to picture him in this role.
he die's....3 TIMES!!!
Number one way to ruin the Dark Tower movies....
Survey said!
Cast Justin Bieber as Jake.
"One pixel can change everything."
And my soul died just reading the topic name. Ouch. Nightmares tonight for sure.
What to say? Oh, I know- HELL to the NOOOOO. What kind of deviant and antisocial mind could think of something so, so unsettling?? A rare disorder to be sure.
The treasure of a life is a measure of love and respect/The way you live, the gifts that you give/In the fullness of time/It's the only return that you expect
