As Sergio Rivera raised his right hand on Monday morning and took his oath of office, the 17-year-old made history for the Milwaukee Police Department.
Rivera, a Milwaukee native, became the first graduate of the department's Students Talking It Over with Police (STOP) program to be hired as a police aide, an apprenticeship program aimed at modeling future leaders for the department.
The STOP program was designed to improve youth-police interactions. Officers meet with student leaders in high schools across the city for an hour each week during the seven-week program.
"It was showing us a different point of view because they want us to build a relationship with the police," Rivera said. "Where I'm from a lot of people, like youth, don't get along with the police and view them negatively, but the program just helps us see them in a positive way."
Rivera didn't always want to be a cop. Initially, he thought of becoming an engineer, but he wanted a more physical job — and math and science were not his favorite subjects, he said.
"I was interested in becoming something that could benefit my community," he added.
When the STOP program came to Veritas High School, Rivera was among the first to apply, Principal Sherry Tolkan said.
"My belief was that if students signed up to be a part of the STOP program that said something about them as individuals," she said.
So many students came forward that a lottery was held and, thanks to a bit of luck, Rivera was selected. He graduated from the program in the fall of 2013.
STOP wasn't created as a recruitment tool, but as students progress, they start asking about opportunities in the department, said Officer William Singleton, who developed the curriculum in 2010.
"When we developed the outcomes of the program four years ago, it was perception of the police, trust in the police and procedural fairness," Singleton said. "As the program went on we found out that the kids really enjoyed having time with us and then, all of a sudden, it's like 'We want to be police officers. What's the next step?'"
STOP began in 2010 in police District 5 and was expanded citywide two years later. The program now has 50 officers trained as facilitators who work with students in 45 schools — public, private and charter. Each year, 700 students are expected to graduate from STOP.
"It's all about building those relationships and helping the student not be as scared or anxious in front of a police officer. Let's have a conversation and that conversation can lead to this," Singleton said, motioning to Rivera.
Rivera was sworn in with 23 other newly minted police aides, who are uniformed civilian members of the department that earn an annual salary of about $23,205. During their program, they learn the rules and regulations of the department and federal, state and local laws before rotating throughout all areas of MPD.
The police aides also must complete 24 college credits. Once they turn 21, they are eligible to join a recruit class to become a sworn officer. It's a competitive program. The department offers 67 police aide positions. During the last application cycle, the Fire and Police Commission received more than 600 applications, executive director Michael Tobin said. More applications will be accepted in September.
Rivera said the STOP program gave him valuable insight into being a police officer.
"You're just another person, too," he said. "You're trying to help the community, serving the community."

Printable View
I have olympus OM-1n and looking for third party flash gun recommendations. Preferably, bounce flash...
On camera, handle mount, or pack and head style?
Bounce with flash is dependant on the height of the ceiling/proximity of the rear or side wall. This will determine the power needs of the flash. Doubling the distance seems trivial, but doubling the power of light coming out of a flash to light a scene with a slow film, or desire to shoot the scene stopped down for more depth of field is not.
Most people think of flash in terms of guide number for the smaller fixed reflector units.
Most 4 aa cell powered units are about GN 35 max (100iso film, GN in metres).
Handle mount flash, of the Metz, Sunpack, etc line use 6-8 AA's and have GN up to 45.
Shoulder hung accumulator and battery pack and light camera mount head units usually have beefier batteries yet again, and can deliver up to 60 or a bit more.
After than you are heading into the realm of monoblock or pack and head studio flash units.
I would not get hung up about whether the flash can electronically integrate with the model of camera you have.
Use the flash's own light sensor for your first flash when used on camera or even off camera when you think about what the flash sensor sees versus what your camera is seeing.
When you move on to lighting a scene with more than one flash you can spend the moon for electronic wireless exposure control, or save your money by buying simpler flash units, and spend the savings on a flash meter. Money spent on a functional, but not necessarily the 'flashiest' flash meter is in my mind always fund well spent.
If you dont have the "shoe 4" accessory, then a bracket or handle mount is the way to go. Olympus T-45 set-up works beautifully. I prefer not to mount a flash on top of the shoe 4, as they are prone to cracking.
I'm not up on the latest 285. I know original 285's have a light sensor that has three auto settings (yellow, blue and purple I seem to remember) as well as manual settings of full, half, quarter, and maybe even eights and sixteenths. (Or is that Metz with the Mecamat I am remembering?)
The sensor can be unplugged from the front of the flash. There is an extension cord accessory about 1m long that allows the sensor to stay on the camera while the flash body is firing into an umbrella or soft box, or is held closer to the ceiling to bounce with more punch. These extensions can be daisy chained, to a modest degree.
I don't have mine any more, but it was quite nice. I moved on to a Viviatr 4600, and 5400 which could take off the film sesnor for auto flash shut off. In the end that was a waste of energy, as I started to use them together as main and fill for portraits. I quickly learned that multple flashes on auto do not work well, unless you want to spend mondo dollars today for e-ttl, or whatever wireless system is being flogged. I did learn what guide numbers and light ratios were, and could juggle quite bit in my head foor a while using just them. Then I bought a flash meter, and all the math could be used on tax forms, and not photo shoots.
When I did stil have the 285 and was using it a lot, it was before NiMH batteries, and Ni-Cad's with always guarding against memory effect were a pain in the butt. I grew tired of doing a whack of portraits, etc in a row, with the flash recycling slower, and slower as I was firing it full manual into a 24x36" softbox.
So I took an early PC computer that someone was tossing, and salvaged the power supply. I whittled a piece of pine with screw nails in the right place to inject positive and negative terminals and fed it 5V from the PC supply with lamp cord. The supply was fitted into an old tin that once held Christmas cookies, and operated with the lid removed for the fan to breath.
The PC supply could supply up to 22A, and the single flash only sucked 6A, so the thing certainly got the reaady light on in a hurry. When I moved to two flashes, it fed them both. I am actually selling at a swap met over this weekned, and that old unit is one of the things I am tryiing to virtually give away to create more space in the house.
A 285HV does have its own sensor. It is, however, fairly large, so you have to be careful if you mount it to the hot shoe (to protect the shoe).
I like the Olympus T32, which does offer bounce, but not swivel. If you ever add an OM2 or OM4, you will like the dedicated TTl capabilities that the combination offers.
As the T32 doesn't swivel, you need to use the T32 on a separate bracket if you want to do side bounce and use the auto flash function.
As for the 430 ex II, it appears to me that it has no built in auto flash functions. You could use it as a manual flash and a flash meter, but for auto flash I believe you need to use it on a Canon EOS camera.
Happy camper with 283's, 285's (GN110 ft)the same power but 285 has variable power settings and a variable coverage lens on the head. Used with an "L" bracket or grip gives no strain on the acc.shoe of the camera. All accessories are interchangeable between the two except the high power module for the 285. Several aftermarket bounce cards and diffusers were made for these flashes.
They're excellent units to start with.
A Guide Number is always going to be an approximation, a starting point for your system. If GN110 is used and your exposures are a little off don't worry, use your own #
FWIW a GN is arrived at by testing the flash at a distance of 10'/3.5m and determining the correct exposure using a flash meter or film.
So, f11 @ 10' =GN110 with ISO 100 film.
Using the calculator dial on the flash you can determine different GN's for different film.

Remember Me
Dave Matthews & Tim Reynolds:: 10.28.06 Santa Barbara Bowl :: Santa Barbara, CA
Dave's voice was raspy from a trip to Las Vegas, but this beautiful imperfection fit with the storyteller vibe of the show. Sitting on a chair with long-time collaborator Tim Reynolds, Matthews hand-picked songs from his catalog, and the crowd loved every choice he made and every story he told. Perhaps in a nod to Vegas, the lone cover-song was an interlude into Elvis Presley's "I Can't Help Falling In Love With You."
Matthews introduced songs by telling the crowd who they were written about, "I'm a family man," he confessed at one interval. Matthews dedicated songs to his stepfather, grandfather, and during the poignant encore, his "Sister."
DMB standards like "Dodo," "Jimi Thing," "Lie In Our Graves," "Crash Into Me," and "Ants Marching" don't lose anything when performed acoustically. While this is partly due to their structure, Tim Reynolds provides more than just acoustic guitar; he creates a variety of sounds from his instrument, at times mimicking an entire string section.
"Don't be afraid. People are trying to make you feel afraid, but don't be" said Matthews. "It's a waste of time."
Dave Matthews is a mischievous devil with a voice from heaven and a finger on the pulse of America. On this night, Matthews played many roles: joker, crooner, songwriter, and social commentator. His music has aged well, and it feels good to know Dave Matthews will be making people laugh and dance for years to come.
JamBase | Santa Barbara
Go See Live Music!
Nice article, I've always enjoyed Dave, and I think that there are too many haters when it comes to his music. You gotta give credit where credit is due. Peace
I didn't realize Dave and Tim were lovers.
After seeing Dave 7/1/06 (the only reason i went was because of umphrey's) It ruined seeing live music for me..for a while. Dave Matthews is in the top 3 worst shows i have ever seen.
People on this site always rag on dave. I don't think it is well deserved. He is really talented. However, the general crowd at his shows seems to be the antithesis of the jam scene. It is like a fratboy, straightedge, wannabe, dorky crowd. Hard to describe, but it is too bad. I think dave really fits in better with the jam scene, at least the music does. But where do all of these nerdy fans come from? I am not sure how this phenomena started. I like dave shows, but please get some cooler fans...Peace.
You mean DMB isn't a jamband??? What?? sure enough, Shonuff said enough...I too would love to hop back onto the "I hate Dave because he's so damn popular" bandwagon-train that so many of us part-time music snob-bloggers and so called "jamband" music lovers will tend to cling on to (trust me, I used to be one of em' in the 90's)...but I think this time I'll just WON'T GIVE A middle FINGER PICKIN' F*** because really...I mean really...this "I hate Dave" thing was cute n' all after the Grammy's 'n sh** but really...shut the f*** up cuz nobody cares anymore...we get it, DMB is not "jam" music...what a revelation to you...soundin' like an Entertainment Tonight theme song written by a teenage cheerleading version of Ben Gibbard...
Give it up for Dave! Yeah, am I a bigger fan of bands like WSP, UM, KDTU, etc. But because of Dave's success he has been able to open the rest of the worlds eyes to bands like UM, Bela Fleck, G. Love, as well as many more.Plus the ladies love Dave, and I love the ladies!!
Whether you hate him or love him, he is still a talented musician that works harder than most musicians out there. Good to see that most people can see past the bandwagon bullshit. Hopefully dmb's next album will kick them out of their post busted stuff slump.
harryhood8, holysh**, that might be the craziest comment ive ever heard due to the fact that DMB is prob one thousand times a better show than UM.
yes...u idiot dmbariola, explain why a dave show is one thousand times better than umph, because they "jam" by extending the song a few more minutes u are an idiot, umph is wild and everyone knows it....im still down with dave im not sayin anything bad, carter rules they write good songs, but i dont think the live show compares to an UM freakout....mr deez 4 lyfe.
you want an "umph freakout" try a 17 minute long version of two step with robert randolph, try a 34 minute long version of #41 with Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, a 24 minute long version of Lie in Our Graves with Bela and Victor Umphrey's is good, but DMB is soo much more
carter buford rules!!!! he just need to pick wiser friends and jump ship and start his own band. you know it's true! by the way, umphreys shows are rhapshodic compared to a dave show.
Dave and Tim are lovers?
sorry im going to have to agree with radiohead on that one. when UM is around longer then you can say they have better jams. dont get me wrong im a UM fan also, they are a great band.
Sorry but I have to get in on this one now. As a band UM is obviously the holdr of more musical prowess. Please don't argue this, because you can't. Dave is good he's got some shit granted. However. your point radiohead is unvalidated because every "jam" you mentioned was with a special guest. That means in your eyes they have to get a credible "jammer" in order to jam. Oooooooh Busted!
yea he did mention alot of "jammers" alongside the band but thats because he was mentioning some of the greats. listen to any random show in a random city and you will hear crazy jams from leroi moore the on the sax and especially boyd on the violin not to mention the insane drum solos by carter. dave scats in most shows also. i can see your stance when you say dave himself might not have what it takes to be the best jammer but as for the rest of the band the jams that take place are amazing and fit together so well. some jams you listen to are just a bunch of noise, but with dave the simplicity of each members parts in a song is what makes the jams and songs great.
i thought this was an article on the dave matthews and tim reynolds show on october 28th... not an invitation to bitch about your personal preferences that you aren't entirely sure about to begin with.good music is good music.go fucking enjoy it all!!
DMB is a group of very talented musicians. It really can't be denied. Dave has done his thing for a long time with a lot of success. It just personally doesn't do it for me. They sound very good and tight live. They just don't rage enough for me. But they seriously don't suck. UM is a completely different thing why battle over two bands that are so different?
blower has a good point im done.
permalot it definately doesnt take a guest to make a great dmb jam. take a listen to a 6-21-2006 jam of two step for example. 22 minutes long of some amazing shit. to be honest i dont care if you guys think dmb is a jam band or not. i enjoy the music, if you dont then just dont listen and keep it to yourself
-sorry but Dave Mathews may be a talented musician, but to me his voice sounds like cats making love and the sax sounds like if Kenny G joined a jamband. DMB is the soft rock elevator music of the jam world. and yes, I came on here just to hate on Dave. oh, but how can 10's of thousands of frat boys and sorority sisters be wrong?
radiohead, i already have those jams and yea theyre dope, who cares about how long they are man, did u just go on ur itunes and find the longest dave jams to try to prove some kind of point. and as i said before, how much of daves jams is actual free form improvisation, other than jamming out the end of the song for 10 more minutes while dave chants some stupid shit.
pretty funny that people are using an article about a Dave Matthews/Tim Reynolds acoustic show to compare DMB and Umphrey's. they sound a lot a like and are very comparable.....seriously. I haven't really listened to Dave much since the late 90s, but I still think he is very good. Also, Tim Reynolds has some great classical guitar stuff out there if your into that kind of stuff.
Man, you guys just don't get it with Dave. He shouldn';t be compared to UM, they are vastly different. dave doesn't try to entice and ask you to come to a "jam" show. I love UM too, but Dave is a different thing. I seriously doubt he hand-picked who listens to his music, and I bet most of you loved it until it became popular among everyone. And you're right Dave can't jam like UM, but UM can't begin to write song lyrics as beautiful as what Dave writes. The shows are amazing and it's not as special now that sooo many people love dave and you can't see him in an intimate venue anymore. Not too many people will give you 3 and a half straight hours of excellent music with no breaks at all. Keep bringing us the soulful stuff Dave.
i admmit that once dave got popular i was a little turned off but i kept listening to his music and realised he is one of the best song writters of our time. even in the trey article trey talks about aquiring the talent that dave has as far as song writing goes. DMB is the best thing thats ever fucking happened to "mainstream" music. you can't deny that.
sorry i am ripped and must say this.......add treys name to the title and the love triangle is complete
i know that this has nothing to do with the music, but what ever happened to that corey haim dude?
Dave's music is good and the live show looks awesome on dvd, but I've never been to a dave show. Things that deter me from them is the ticket prices and what I've heard about the fanbase. But I think I might check them out once to see what's up, see if the ticket price is worth it. And the dave hating is getting old. How can you deny good music because its too popular. boggles tha mindBusted Stuff was a horrible album though
yea busted stuff did suck. if you go to a show pay the extra little bit and sit in the seated section. the lawn is full of all the people that everyone on here talks about (fratboys and little girls) that are more concerned with getting fucked up than to listening to the music. the seats are your best bet. you can hear the music better from there also.
I would rather drink gasoline and piss fire then be in or around a musicical situation that Dave Mathews was the least bit involved in. he makes me shiver. i had to miss both Trey and Robert Randolph at two different bonnaroo's becasue that devil of a human being. 2007 MFADMMusic Fans Against Dave MathewsI dont know who the f*** Tim Reynolds is but i can safely assume i would hate him too.
if you have never heard to tim reynolds then you probably shouldnt be posting under this article
if you don't know who tim reynolds is, then you should def go find out....he's quite talented
Funny shit Larry!!
Yea. Tim Reynolds is one of the most talented guitarists I've had the joy to see live, and Dave Matthews is a great poet with a knack for writing great melodies. Also, DMB is not as entrenched in the "jam" sound, I don't think they define themselves by long, epic jams, and that's ok. They're all very talented musicians and though that "Everyday" album did kinda freak me out, Dave's married now, and it's understandable that alot of his music during that period might sound lovey dovey and poppy. That's ok too, he was just writing what he felt at that time. I've never gotten anything but humility, genuity, and soulfulness from Dave Matthews, and there's no accounting for taste. If you don't personally connect to the sound him and his band puts out, that's fine. Music and art isn't a contest, it's a joy to experience and can be a great source of spiritual guidance. Not everyone can connect to a song like "AC\DC Bag". If the existence of Dave Matthews Band really brings you that much distress you should look to trying to accept that some people live simple-minded lives and as long as they're kind, honest, and loving people that shouldn't bother you.
dmb stinks, haha since when did dave and tim become lovers i wouldnt expect that out of tim!
adam36 u my friend are a moron. tim reynolds rocks. dave is awesome and just because teenage boys and girls like him doesnt give u any reason to bash him
i love music who cares who the fans are at least their going to see live music. let people like who they like and quit bashing everyone jesus christ reading these comments make me feel that everyone has to have the best band. and if you dont know tim reynolds is give him a shot he can really jam the guitar. RESPECT OTHER MUSIC. UNITY PEACE for all
Hey, just wanted to add that Tim Reynolds is sick. I saw him play in my hometown of Greenville, SC at the Handlebar several months ago and he is one weird dude who plays some inventive, trippy jams. I was surprised. I really wasn't that excited to go see him, but went and left in awe. And as for Dave, he and his band will always get slack. DMB's good to go see with your wife or girlfriend. My wife and I went b/c she loves them and we had a ball. I was actually surprised how good they were live. No, they don't compare to UM and a lot of other jam bands, but they are still worth going to check out. By the way, the title of the article is hilarious.
dodo isnt a dmb standard... psshhh
here and now in 2006 the best current songwriter and lyricist is colin meloy of the decemberists. while there are understandably some people who think that such and such is better than the decemberists, you cannot deny that colin meloys ability to churn out an improv timeless tale and/or monograph or pop ditty with great bridges, melodies and harmonys and lyrical deliverence. he can capture any tone or vibe possible to accompany. sorry, but dave matthews is spent. while i acknowledge that they him and his band members are all talented people and can respect them for that, their music just doesn't do it for me. it's about as enjoyable as reading a 900 page book about the history of paperclips. as for tim, i can give him more props but dave has never done much but overshadow him unfortunetly. but seriously listen to one whole decemberists album all the way through and tell me that cloin meloy is at the top of the songwriting game for now.
P.S adam36 rules !!!!
the sheer volume of comments says it all: like it or not, dave matthews and his band have had a definite impact on music.
screw you guys, i'm goin home
The Mars Volta is better than Dave Matthews.
I would just like to say that a true music fan would have to appreciate both Dave and Tim's musical talent. They're both amazing. Sometimes it pays to look outside the box. WP, UM, etc. are all great bands in their own right, but just because DMB doesn't fit the standard jam formula, doesn't mean they aren't talented.
Tim is a great guitar player and Dave crafts amazing songs. like a previous post-- i've gotten nothing but honesty from him. I think some may be missing the basics--he's not demanding anything from you. mearly writing songs.. --take a situation where it is only a human and a guitar.. nothing else... what would you come up with? what would I come up with? Dave came up with his r'epertoire.. and that goes for any singer/songwriter. as for his dudes and dudette fans--ehh, as said prior-- he didn't choose them. So, lets all keep an open mind about all music.. alright?oh and, mars volta is overratted colin isn't the 'best out there'--deffinatly sniff aroundand last time I checked Umphreys Mcgee has their own dudes and dudettes-- :)
I'll admit that Dave has some talent and his songs can be fun and catchy but his fans are some of the worst people in the world.I caught the Alpine Valley show with UM and while the show was decent the vibe was horrible.Just to list a few:The guy who urinated in his beer cup and then set it down on the ground, then kicked it over.The SUV full of tennie boppers who were throwing trash and cans out of their car as we waited to leave.The people who would just cut in front of the 60 people waiting in line for a restroom.The perfect outline of vehicles in trash in the lot.I could go on but I don't want to hijack the threads.
btw: I caught a Tim solo show a couple years ago in and am still amazed by his abilities. Also, it was the first show that I saw (that I'm aware of) where live phase sampling was used.
I really enjoy DMB's music, one listen to Two Step and you'll understand, and Tim Reynolds is a superb guitarist. I would reccomend buying some albums by them, but not going to their shows. I'm sure DMB concerts were absolutely amazing during the early years, but nowdays a fantastic band has been killed by overpriced tickets and idiot fans. For example, during the Umphrey's set at Alpine they acted like there wasn't a band playing. Buy Crash and Under the Table and Dreaming, not concert tickets!
do people not remember the flanel pant, hemp wearing akward sounding acid taking south african hippie that started this band...dave matthews help shape the jam scene that we had today. dmbs first stage equipment was donated to them from THE GRATEFUL DEAD....they use to tour with phish,blues traveler, dead, rolling stones.. dmb have played with the best bob wier,trey, robert randolph, bela fleck, victor,warren hayes,tim reynolds,J5,ben harper,g.love, santana....there music does what no one else has and that is melt the lines of what the scene is..they are so far past being part of any scene they are a world wide symbol for music. regardless of who buys there tickets for there shows just remember the same way that you talk about those frat boys they are saying the same thing about you...you know what to expect when you buy tickets for a show deal with it you there for the music anyways!!! back in the day at the shows there was nothing but pancho's and sandels my friends rethink your thoughts and GO SEE LIVE musicpeace
larrydurango has the sickest photo, nice work!
Anyone who's bitching about the frat boys is justified. I almot got my ass kicked for dancing at a concert. Of course dude was named Tyler or Timmy or T-bone, hat backwards, tribal armband tat, his girlfriend in pumps on the grass, Tiffiney or Tiff, puking on herself, you know the type. The scene in the seats was just as bad with dude in really white sneakers and his collar up wantin to flex on anyone who blocked his view. The scene is getting worse, time isn't helping, public outrage at the "frat" croud is falling on drunk deaf ears. The pity is how much more Dave's talent really deserves. I really love those quiet tender songs when Dave's on it and some dude screams "YOU ROCK DAVE". Those moments are just priceless, Thanks Tyler and Tiff!
Haha, "Tiff and Tyler" good one trustme ;)It is true the scene at a DMB show has ruined it for this long time DMB fan. I think I may have attended my last DMB show this last summer and it makes me sad that I've let the people around me ruin my ability to enjoy some great music. Not to say that I haven't met some really cool, down to Earth people at DMB shows, because I have. We can't totally generalize the DMB populace. Not trying to start a war here either, but I think that geographic location somehow relates to the "Tiff and Tyler" levels. I've seen DMB at Alpine and the frat party quotient was through the fucking roof...it was all about the tail-gate party there. Then you take somewhere like the Gorge and people seem a little more "chilled-out." Anyway, that's besides the point. As many have said, you can't deny Dave Matthews' impact on the music scene over the past 15+ years. Coming from someone who is now totally addicted to UM and other great new bands on the scene, I can say that I might not have been exposed if it weren't for my early DMB lovin' days. DMB acted as the musical "gateway" drug for me, so I am thankful for that.
The crowd is important if it ruins you expierence at the show, if so many people are saying it then it must be true, i've been to to 4 shows of DMB all because i was forced to or had free ticket, I expected nothing i am open to all kinds of music, and the crowd at these concerts is not their for the music they are there to get wasted, and for 50 year old dudes to hit on girls in college. Dave should start screenning his fans because the majority of them that go to his shows, they aren't listening, there to busy talking,and talking durnig the whole show, and when more 75 percent of the crow is like that you just can't enjoy the music because no one else really is, you can talk about how the Dave hating is getting old well it is well desreved and people who haven't gone to a conert deserve to know so they can save thier money and see some one like SCI or UM even though i'm not UM band i would recomend them over a Dave conert anyday of the week
its funny that everyone and thier mom can talk smack but i seen dave back when they were first coming about and they have aged well, if jerry was still alive it would be the same thing. And for everyone that made the comment about dorky fans and fratboy nerds, what do you think america is go see a show out of the country if you dont like the crow!
how can anyone say that dave isnt a jam band? i dont know with bands like phish, blues traveler, xaiver rudd, that they have toured with thats like telling janis on the train tour that the dead isnt a jam band. and UM sucks

On Jul 5, 2013, Zacks Investment Research upgraded
AmTrust Financial Services Inc.
) to a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy).
Why the Upgrade?
AmTrust has been witnessing rising estimates on the back of
improved first quarter 2013 results. The company's pliant
underwriting platform and improved inorganic growth warrant
optimism in this stock. Additionally, this global specialty
property-casualty insurer delivered positive earnings surprises
in all of the last 4 quarters with an average beat of 9.1%.
On May 1, AmTrust reported first-quarter 2013 operating
earnings per share of 81 cents, remarkably beating the Zacks
Consensus Estimate of 73 cents and the year-ago quarter figure of
64 cents.
The upside was primarily attributable to 37.1% top-line
growth, which was driven by a 29.9% upsurge in net earned
premiums along with significantly higher commissions, service and
fee income. Even net investment income escalated 24.8%, although
higher loss and loss adjusted expenses coupled with underwriting
expenses were partial dampeners.
Additionally, we believe that the recent acquisitions of
Sequoia Insurance and Mutual Holdings coupled with ratings
affirmation bode well for future growth prospects. AmTrust also
maintains a healthy balance sheet and adequate liquidity, with a
modest debt-to-capital ratio of 17% at the end of May 2013 and
sturdy interest coverage ratios, despite its inorganic growth
strategy. An efficient capital deployment via dividend payouts
and share buybacks further instill confidence among
Based on Endurance's fundamental strength and underwriting
profitability, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2013 rose 0.6% to
$3.23 per share in the last 60 days. The estimate for 2014 is
pegged at $3.73, up 1.9% in the last 60 days. Meanwhile, no
downward revision in estimates was witnessed for both the
Moreover, the Most Accurate Estimate for AmTrust's 2013
earnings stands at $3.25 a share, resulting in a positive

Other Insurers Worth a Look
Apart from Endurance, other stocks that are outperforming in
the insurance sector include

its not fair the weight that he is wrestling at he has a body of a 160 lb person but since he is missing a leg he gets to wrestle 125 which is bulls**t.... we had this dude where i went to high school he had one leg and no one wanted to wrestle him because he was three times the size of everyone esle since he was missing a leg

1. Upper body strength. The people he wrestles have 2 legs, he is missing a leg there for he has more strength in his upper body. When you are on the ground wrestling upper body strength to control your opponent is huge. the fact is he has the upper body strength that should be wrestling in the 168lb weight class, not 125.
2. In wrestling the 1st thing u are taught is single and double leg take downs. It is impossible to use those moves against him. There are a lot of other moves as well that cant be used against him.
3. Who are u gonna practice against that only has one leg? his opponents cant prepare for him.
Props to the guy for his achievements, but he does have some unfair advantages over his opponents.
|5 years ago
|class of '08 - away - #28
And the hater tries to explain:lachen001:
1. If you know you are in a sport that requires a lot of upper body strength, shouldn't you be in the weight room? You are complaining that he is stronger in his upper body yet take no personal responsibility of making YOURSELF stronger. Bottom line he was hungrier than ALL of his opponents. I guess Usan Bolt had an unfair advantage in the 100 meters because he was taller than everyone else right???????
2. You are taught blah blah blah when you start. Well its been years since he started along with everyone else. When are you going to come up with plan B, C, and D if everyone is taught the same s**t?
3. Are you saying now that in order to be the best you have to have 1 leg? The dude hasn't gone undefeated his whole career. He took L's before. Therefore that means he isn't invincible. But I will say this... If the opponents would have studied his tapes and prior matches that would have prepared them mentally(Kind of like how football teams watch film on their opponents to know what to expect).
Bottom line you are hating. If you came in this thread to say anything except positive things you are a hater. The dude is the champ and on the first page and first 5 comments or so there is talk of how it isn't fair. Think life is going to be fair to a man with one leg???? Your argument doesn't even have a leg to stand on.:lachen001:

You're a hater. And I never wrestled a day in my life.
|class of - - #35
And honestly if you've never wrestled or don't know anything about wrestling, you really shouldn't be commenting in the thread. I respect what dude has done so far, no letting his handicap be the end of it, but finding his place in life and finding how to work even with his handicap.

|class of '05 - away - #36
Robles's style, because he only has one leg, enables him to say incredibly low and move in a few ways around the mat that other wrestlers can't. Also, because Robles only has one leg, his opponents have had to change up their style to wrestle him.
Also, Robles physically is about the size of a 165 pounder. I've seen video of this doing hang cleans. He also can apparently bench 305 and do 100 pull ups in 2 minutes. If you look carefully in pictures of his final match, his arms were bigger than the Iowa guy's legs.
So basically, its a combination of an unorthodox style that people can't prepare for, his superhuman strength, and he really is just a great wrestler.
|5 years ago
|class of '08 - away - #37
1. Are you that stupid that you dont see the fact that he's missing a leg, so the weight that would be in that leg is now muscle in his upper body? If the kids he wrestled at 125 were too add more strength to match his they would be over the f**king weight limit!
2. Just k!ll yourself for the 2nd comment. You think its fair to not be able to use half of your f**king moves??? really.
3. You do realize that after teams watch film they go out and practice right?
Bottom line, you are a dumb a.ss b**ch. Typical BX poster, if anyone has a different view they are a hater. Everyone here gave the guy his props, but simply point out he has advantages. We aint haters, we just know what we talking about. You aint never wrestled and dont know s**t about the sport so u should just STFU! You dont have a brain nor a leg to stand on.

|class of '07 - away - #40
First of all, he talks about Usain Bolt being taller so he has an unfair advantage. Track is not a sport that takes into account the difference between the size of competitors. Wrestling is a sport with WEIGHT classes. And cutting and making weight is part of the entire strategy. Missing a leg is missing a lot of weight. On the average person a leg is roughly 20% of your body mass. He's wrestling at 125 pounds with the overall body mass of ~157 or 165 pounder.
Plus if you look at his videos, He's shooting double legs, and his opponents are tying to figure out how to secure the take down on him with one leg.
And finally, no one was hating. They all gave props where props are due. What's he's doing is amazing, but if you're a wrestler... after watching the videos... You can't help but think that there are some unfair advantages.... Because there are lol...

Does TOS Still Look Futuristic to You?
View Single Post
April 17 2013, 04:15 PM
Location: Sunny Central Florida
Re: Does TOS Still Look Futuristic to You?
Going way back to the original post, RCA was the parent company of NBC, so they issued edicts to the network, to relay to the producers of shows, to make their shows as eye-poppingly color as they could.
So yes, when you were at a neighbor's house with a color TV and STAR TREK, or any NBC color show came on, you were supposed to be wowed by the colors.
And I think the STAR TREK design crew did a fabulous job in that department. Not only with the primary-color-type uniforms, but with those splashes of colored light that painted the corridors and backdrops of the series.
Yes, it's totally unrealistic, but I sure do love looking at it!

FILE - This Jan. 20, 2009 file photo shows people with purple tickets in line in the 3rd Street tunnel in Washington, arriving for the inauguration of President Barack Obama at the Capitol. While Washington won't likely see the record-setting turnout from the last inauguration, officials are planning for a bigger-than-average crowd making plans for a second chance to see a president's swearing in. District of Columbia officials have pieced together early data projecting 600,000 to 800,000 people will crowd onto the National Mall on Jan. 21. That's based on past attendance and data including hotel and restaurant reservations and chartered buses. The inauguration is the biggest event every four years in the nation's capital, followed by July 4th celebrations. The 2009 inaugural drew 1.8 million. (AP Photo/Jacquelyn Martin, File)

We are glad to announce our new
& [micro]biologies. Art and the Biological Sublime in the 21st
Ed. by Regine Rapp & Christian de Lutz,
Berlin 2015
More information here...
Transhuman Life Forms
Susanna Hertrich
Fabulous Olfactometer, Digital photograph, 2014
Opening: 25 September, 2015 8PM
Childrens' Workshop: 4 October, 2-4 PM
Panel discussion with Susanna Hertrich & Enno Park: 13 November,
Finissage: 29 November
from 3PM
Exhibition runs: 26 September 29 November, 2015, Fri- Sun
2-6PM and by appointment
Open 27 November 2-9PM
The exhibition explores the phenomenon of the prosthesis as bodily
extension in the 21st century. Exploring new technologies and recent
developments in neuroscience and biology, Susanna Hertrich proposes
new transhuman sensory extensions of what may eventually become
'human 2.0'. The exhibited works are part of her long-term artistic
research project Bodies & Technology.
In Susanna Hertrichs work a narration is constructed in which
the human sensory apparatus is extended through computer controlled
prostheses. The results can be understood as crossing the boundaries
between artistic hypothesis and technological experimentation. The
artworks reflect our current living environments, as well as critically
question the social, political and physical consequences of the
new technologies utilised in their making.
Next to Hertrich's works Art Laboratory Berlin will showcase a film
by Rafel Duran Torrent on Neil Harbisson and the Cyborg Foundation.
2015 programme is made possible in part by a generous gift from
Michael Schröder

Last exhibition:
Schubert // Growing Geometries - Evolving Forms
runs: 29 August 20 September, 2015
Opening: 28 August, 2015 8PM
Talk and Finissage: 20 September, 2015, 3PM
"In her experimental
setups, Theresa Schubert condenses the most simple organisms to
highly complex philosophical questions. In the artistic research
project Growing Geometries I - tattooing mushrooms, fungi
generate their growth by processing organic material. Together with
the treatment of the mushroom with tattoo needles, their natural
growth creates a closer proximity to that of mankind than to that
of plants. A natural phenomenon is translated into a moment of critical
analysis of processes of growth with the simplest of means. Theresa
Schubert's tattooed mushroom are fruits of a deeper lying mesh whose
growth can take any shape or form based on devitalized organic material
causing revitalization." (Kerstin Godschalk, curator HB55 Kunstfabrik
The exhibited works have been developed
as part of her PhD research at the Bauhaus University Weimar. In
the words of Theresa Schubert: "The works want to challenge
common understandings of creativity and emphasize a posthuman view
on the world and its creatures. Common ground is the intervention
on membranes. A membrane appears in both the exterior and interior
of living beings; in the case of a cell membrane it is part of the
smallest building block of life, but it also separates two different
states. Further, it is an investigation into the aesthetics and
mechanisms of natural growths processes."
The artist Theresa Schubert conducts research at the intersection
of art, biology, and technology. She has studied Media Arts &
Design at the Bauhaus University Weimar. Her artistic practice combines
various media such as audiovisual installations, photography or
work on paper which deals with the phenomena of nature not only
as a source of inspiration, but as a material and critical process.
By means of transdisciplinary methods, such as the re-enactment
of scientific experiments, biohacking, theoretical analysis and
collaborative practices, her work deals with the themes of self-organization,
computational geometry and morphology. The starting point for her
experiments are simple organisms that arranged in setups have the
opportunity to grow and develop - always under the control of the
artist - sometimes in interaction with people and visitors.
Theresa Schubert's work has been exhibited internationally. Venues
include; Ars Electronica, Linz, KW Institute for Contemporary Art
Berlin, ARGE Kultur Salzburg, Newcastle Region Art Gallery, Electro
Fringe Festival Australia, Istanbul Biennial, European Media Art
Festival and KIBLA Maribor. Recently, the journals Antennae, Wired
and Art in Berlin have reported on her work.

Moving from the vast to the minute, [macro]biologies &
[micro]biologies, will be a series of 3 exhibitions, performances,
and talks at Art Laboratory Berlin. The series moves from biosphere
and landscape - systems, structures, creation and devastation (in
exhibition 1) to the level of non-human, multi-cellular 'being'
(in exhibition 2) and finally explores micro-organisms (in exhibition
3), as well as the minute particles or objects that still forms
life or a basis for living. Additionally a programme of talks,
performances and other events with artists, scientists and scholars
will accompany the exhibition series.
(The [macro]biologies & [micro]biologies programme in overview)

Slivered Almonds
Slivered Almonds
© Denzil Green
Slivered almonds are almonds that have been sliced very thinly into little sticks. They differ from sliced almonds, which are almonds sliced across their diameter giving you much bigger pieces. If you can't keep the shape distinction clear in your head, think of getting a sliver in your finger and what that is shaped like.
To make sliced or slivered almonds, commercial producers have special machines that will process about 4,000 pounds of almonds an hour. The machine heats the almonds to about 160 F (71 C) to make them pliable, so that they won't shatter when being cut. Slivered and sliced almonds cost more relative to whole almonds, as you have to pay because of the extra work that was done for you.
Sliced and slivered almonds are just about impossible to make at home. The food processor won't slice them, it will chop them and then grind them. It's really not something you can do by hand, either; they will split like crazy on you and you may lose a finger in the process. If they weren't so readily available in packets at the stores, no recipes would be calling for them. The recipe writers expect you to buy them that way. The kicker, though, is when a recipe calls for slivered or sliced almonds (which are more expensive than whole almonds), and then has you pulverize them in a food processor. Use whole almonds instead as they are cheaper, or just buy ground almonds and be done with it.
If you have a recipe calling for slivered or sliced almonds, and you only have whole, either make something else, or chop the almonds and use those instead, though it won't look as fancy especially if the almond slivers or slices are called for to go on top of something for decoration.
1 pound slivered almonds = 4 cups
1 cup slivered almonds = 115g = 4 oz

My daughter found an excellent article about
how the brain works in spenders and savers
A quick skim found all sorts of juicy tidbits.
It includes a lovely summary of "the marshmallow study" - one of my favorites.
They've also found that by using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) on the part of the brain that's all about saving and delayed gratification, they can turn spenders into savers.
While I have this big urge to go zap some brains now,
barring that, I'm curious: what are some other things folks do to re-train their brains for taking the long-term view?

Every now and then I go to the library and get a book on frugal living/spending. After I read the "frugal book" I spend a whole lot less for quite a while. Works for me every time.
If I have a goal to look forward to, it helps to know that in the future I'll be getting something better, than I'd get if I spent the money now on instant gratification stuff.
It the professor in the article could have presented the daughter with a goal of what the money could offer her in the future, instead of just offering the money, maybe she would have taken the free education at the professor's university. But who can predict what kids will do at that age...if all the friends, or just one friend is going to another school, they may choose the same path as the friend.
Sometimes the answer is not to cross an old bridge, nor to burn it, but to build a better bridge.

I find that
I am successful in keeping my attention/focus on 'here & now' (requires a significant effort), a side benefit is increasing gratitude and the realization that I am very, very wealthy, and actually need very little, if anything, more to be happy. (I think Alexia was alluding to this perspective.) .I can walk, talk, see, laugh, etc.; that a little hunger makes most everything delicious (beans and rice can go a long way); I can solve puzzles and make stuff (see book "Flow"
etc. Rich indeed, especially when almost half the world lives on $2/dy. And saved $ makes me even richer! in actuality and potential.
(btw, in my olden days, staying out of stores used to help take the pain out of limited income, but, now with the internet, that strategy doesn't quite work
It's time to get positive about negative thinking

What helps me is that I figure you can be an exploiter, or a helper. I try to consume as little as I can, so I have more to help others - and more to acquire
to protect.
My gratification isn't from what I buy, but from what I build. After all, when I buy something, it wasn't me who made it. A tomato I grow is so much more enjoyable than one I buy, because more of me is invested.
I find money cold, so easy to use it, lose it. But land, especially land you are improving, is priceless. After all, if you know what you are doing, you aren't going to starve, if you have land - and we sure aren't going to freeze here, either.

Fred - I agree totally with the idea of consuming as little as possible and using the savings to buy land.
I managed to get out of debt, finally, about 18 months ago and have been skimping and saving putting a little cash aside every time I could. Which has meant that I'm now in the position of being able to afford a lovely little patch of land that's just come up for sale outside my village, which is mostly wooded and should keep us going in firewood pretty well forever. And there's a grassy patch on it just perfect for any relatives who want to escape and build themselves a log cabin or somesuch. It seems an amazing reward for a few months of careful spending.

Knowing to how spend the money wisely and being frugal is important in order to save more money. I think i need to learn more about TMS, who knows I might turn into a saver rather than a spender. I'm pretty sure my wife will be very about it.

Public libraries often are referred to as a "third place," a term coined by Ray Oldenburg in his 1990 book, "The Great Good Place." That reference is to "neutral social surroundings separate from home and work/school."
A third place is typically inexpensive or free, provides a welcoming and comfortable environment and makes it easy to enter into conversation. In this community, the public library aligns perfectly with that definition.
According to Kevin Harris, author of a book about public libraries as a third place, "all societies need places that allow informal interaction without requiring it, places that are rich in the possibility of the safe, mundane encounter ..."
With an average of 556 people coming through our doors each day, this is definitely a possibility at our library. Third places make people feel at home, foster friendships and create a sense of community.
There certainly are some local venues that tend to be more "purely social" as third places, but they also tend not to be as inclusive as the public library. People from all walks of life can meet and become acquainted with each other at the library, where there are opportunities to make connections, relax and discuss what is happening in the community and in your own life.
As library director, I see frequent and regular examples of the Marshfield Public Library as a third place - mothers mingling after story times, library book discussions, children and teens coming in regularly after school, adults attending special library programs and community groups, businesses and residents using the available meeting rooms.
People of all ages and education levels gather to discuss the issues of the day in programs like University of Wisconsin-Marshfield professor Iddi Adam's "Islam in the Age of Terrorism" or explore the fun of an adult winter reading program event or the children's summer library performer. When I see two heads huddled together with eyes focused on a digital screen, I see connections being built between people, as skills are developed to assure that everyone can access the data they need to make informed decisions. When you see a packed parking lot or a full bike rack, you can be sure that people are meeting, sharing, learning and growing at the library.
This community has many places where people can gather, but the Marshfield Public Library is the only community resource that is open to everyone, without any expectation or payment requirement to visit and participate. The library brings people together in ways that strengthen the community, and we're all better off because of it.
Stop in today and become more involved in the community.
